| "This historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We have now been through nearly a decade of war. We have endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we are trying to build for our nation - a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity - may seem beyond our reach" |

Pamela Anderson adopts abandoned dogs
|
|
Former 'Baywatch' star Pamela Anderson has taken her animal welfare work to a new level as she has adopted two new dogs after they were abandoned at animal shelters in Louisiana after the massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in April.
The actress has teamed up with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), to relocate around 50 pooches to Virginia.
Pamela who has two sons, Brandon, 13, and Dylan, 11, from her marriage to ex-husband Tommy Lee said: 'My son was hoping we could take all 50.
'People can't afford to feed their families, so the family member that gets left behind and has to go is the pet,' contactmusic.com quoted her as saying.
The owners in the oil-spill affected regions abandoned their pets as they lost their jobs or moved away from the area. The breed of her pets has been identified as Chihuahua. |

Baton Rouge Post
|

The Baton Rouge Post is essentially a local Baton Rouge newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Baton Rouge, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.
The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.
We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.
Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.
We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Baton Rouge Post. |
