吉林小便尿不尽的感觉(吉林治疗前列腺最好是医院) (今日更新中)

(AP) — Embers falling on their heads, Venesa Rhodes and her husband had seconds to rush their two beloved cats into their SUV before a wildfire last summer would overtake them all.One cat got in. But the other, named Bella, bolted and disappeared as the blaze bore down. The couple had no choice but to flee, and their home and much of the neighborhood in Redding, California, soon was reduced to ash.Rhodes and her husband, Stephen Cobb, presumed Bella was dead. Devastated by their losses, they moved 1,800 miles (2,900 kilometers) to Rhodes' hometown of Anchorage, Alaska, to start over.Nearly six weeks later, they got a call that left them gobsmacked: Bella was alive. Volunteers had put out a feeding station at Rhodes' burned-out property, staked it out after spotting the cat, and then trapped her."I started bawling," Rhodes said from Anchorage, where Bella was curled up in a corner sleeping. "We were shocked. We were just so overjoyed and just hoping she was OK."Rhodes and Cobb are among dozens of people who lost their homes in the deadly Carr Fire but had their lives brightened weeks or months later when their pets were found.A network of about 35 volunteers — called Carr Fire Pet Rescue and Reunification — is responsible for many of the happy endings, which continue more than two months after firefighters extinguished the blaze, which destroyed more than 1,000 homes and killed six people.The group formed with the help of another volunteer animal group born out of the devastating Tubbs Fire, which killed at least 22 people and destroyed thousands of homes last year in wine country north of San Francisco.Robin Bray, a field coordinator for the Carr Fire group, said about 80 pets have been reunited with their families using social media and specially made kiosks in Redding where images of found pets are posted. Most are cats that have "been through hell," she said.Bray said each new reunion fuels her and the other volunteers, many of whom use their own money to trap and treat the animals."We've seen amazing things," Bray said. "We're finding cats that were in a house and the owners presumed they had passed. The heat of fire breaks windows in houses and cats jump out and run and hide. They're survivalists."The volunteers go to elaborate lengths to catch the animals, which often are traumatized and injured. Equipped with night-vision cameras, traps and lots of food for bait, the volunteers stake out an area where a missing pet has been spotted, waiting for the right moment to drop a trap.They won a hard-fought rescue of a dog nicknamed Buddy on Oct. 27 after he had eluded capture for weeks. They tried luring him with steak and french fries, another dog and a pickup truck like the one his owner drove before finally nabbing him.It was a two-woman, two-hour operation. One woman crawled on the ground and placed food under a trap and the other waited in a truck and pulled a rope to complete the capture.Bray, a private pilot by day, once spent nearly seven hours trapping a cat. The wait was worth it, she said."So many of these people have lost everything," Bray said. "The only thing they care about is finding their pet that they love. They want that hope back in their lives and we're trying to provide that."Jessica Pierce, a Lyons, Colorado-based bioethicist who studies end-of-life issues involving humans and their pets, said losing a beloved animal and a home is a double whammy of grief."To then be reunited with a pet you thought was gone, that would be like getting a piece of your home back," she said. "For many people, pets are a sense of home, and they identify home with a sense of comfort and peace."Steve and Susan Cortopassi were reunited with their cat, Big Ernie, on Oct. 3, more than two months after the fire started. Their other cat, Elsa, was found about three weeks after the fire, which destroyed their home of 30 years.The Cortopassis had to evacuate in the middle of the night. They grabbed their two dogs but weren't able to track down the cats. A friend showed Cortopassi cellphone video of her destroyed home a couple days after the fire and she figured the cats were gone forever."It was just complete and utter devastation," she said. "It's just a miracle they're alive. It's like, life finds a way."Rhodes got her call on Sept. 2, 41 days after the fire began. Bella, who is 2, had some burns on her belly, her long black hair was singed to medium length and she was underweight. Her formerly gray paws are now permanently pink.When she was found, Rhodes and Cobb drove to Redding over five days with their other cat, Mama, so the whole family could be reunited. After staying in a hotel for another five days to make sure Bella was OK, the whole family returned to Alaska."We have friends that don't even like cats thinking how crazy we were and we just said, 'They're part of our family,'" Rhodes said. "I lost a lot. Thank goodness we did get Bella back because our hearts were just sunken." 4981

You see the spellers on the stage at Scripps National Spelling Bee, but there’s a critical player in the competition who you hear more than see.Dr. Jacques Bailly is the Bee’s official pronouncer, and to the spellers, he’s a celebrity. Participants lined up to meet the man many saw in the movie, Akeelah and the Bee, and who records the words many of them have studied.“It's really kind of an honor that they all come here, and they think I’m, you know, somebody famous and interesting to meet,” says Dr. Bailly. “We're here to honor them.”Dr. Bailly has a keen understanding of what the spellers are going through.He won the Bee in 1980 and has some tips for spellers taking the stage.“The way to spell a word you don't know: you spell it the way it sounds,” he advises. “Don't make a fancy guess. Don't assume there's a silent ‘Q’ because there aren't very many of those you know just felt the way it sounds. That's kind of the best guess.”His advice for beating the jitters?“I think a deep breath is one of the best things,” he says. “It's just, you know, to feel free, to get up there and go. Because it's amazing how that helps.”He believes competing in the National Spelling Bee opens doors for spellers to worlds they’ve never seen before at a critical age.“Doors to chemistry, doors to concert instruments, doors to culture of any sort,” he says. “It's the words that describe our world.”Dr. Bailly finds satisfaction in spelling, as well as sharing his passion with the next generation.“I just love doing this,” he says. 1542

Working in a trade isn't as attractive as it once was, but it is making a comeback.For decades, many students seeking higher education chose traditional four-year college degrees over working with their hands. But the rising cost of college mixed with massive student loan debt has some going to trade schools instead.People such as Kyle Martin, an automotive technology student at Lincoln College of Technology."I'm not the type that's going to sit down for years and years and study," Martin said.It will take him 13 months and cost around ,000 to complete his program, an option he believes will pay off much better than a bachelor's degree."It's cost-efficient and it's a great use of your time. You can get in and out really fast," he said.In and out and into the workforce, that is — making money while traditional students are still studying.Does it make financial sense? Auto mechanics earn an average salary of ,000 per year, while four-year college grads have an average starting salary of ,000. The numbers change drastically based on experience and ambition.Welding instructor James Ramsey says there is big opportunity to make big money in the trades."You want to go out there and get your own truck and get your own rig ... that's when you're going to make the big bucks," Ramsey said. "After doing that for a couple years you don't even have to weld anymore. You can just hire some other guys to weld and you are just doing all the deals behind the scene."Getting qualified blue-collar workers is a challenge of its own.Dr. Kelly Moore of Lincoln College of Technology says while trade school enrollment is up for the past three years, there is still a shortage of students studying trades."The reason for that is because we spent so little time talking about the careers as an opportunity that we lost a generation," said Dr. Kelly Moore, Lincoln College of Technology. 1906

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) -- A top lieutenant to drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman has been sentenced to life in prison in a Virginia courtroom. Damaso Lopez, a leader in Mexico's Sinaloa drug cartel, pleaded guilty in September in an Alexandria federal court to drug trafficking charges after being extradited from Mexico earlier this year. Friday's life sentence was expected after both sides agreed to a life term as part of a plea bargain. In court papers, Lopez admitted he was a senior leader in the Sinaloa cartel and controlled a faction with hundreds of men. He admitted using "sicarios," or hitmen, to conduct murders to further the cartel's interest and move tons of cocaine and other drugs throughout the Americas.Lopez's sentencing comes as Guzman is facing his own trial in New York. 806

 President Donald Trump said on Thursday his maligned attorney general is safe in his job at least until November.Trump made the comment in an interview with Bloomberg News."I just would love to have him do a great job," Bloomberg quoted Trump as saying in the Oval Office.Trump has raged against Jeff Sessions since his decision to recuse himself from Russia-related matters last year. Sessions was the first Republican senator to endorse Trump as a presidential contender.Speculation that Trump may soon dismiss Sessions has increased in recent days as the two men trade snipes.Meanwhile, Republican senators have shown new openness to a new attorney general. But they have pressured Trump to wait until after the midterm elections in November. Bloomberg said Trump declined to comment when asked if he would keep Sessions past then.He told the news service he considers special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation to be an "illegal."Asked if he would comply with a subpoena from Mueller, Trump said, "I'll see what happens" and added: "I view it differently. I view it as an illegal investigation."He told Bloomberg "great scholars" have said "there never should have been a special counsel."Mueller's investigation was ordered by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in May 2017 and the scope of the investigation was laid out by Rosenstein in a classified memo. Justice Department lawyers have previously said Rosenstein is aware of the scope and activities of Mueller's investigation. 1523
