| Pool & Spa Safety Act Enacted Into Law - Monday, June 16, 2008The Florida Swimming Pool Association (FSPA) is pleased to announce, along with the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP), the passage of the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act. This act, passed earlier in 2007 by the Senate Commerce Committee, was incorporated as Title IV of the omnibus energy bill approved by the Congress and signed by the President on December 19, 2007. The House of Representatives in July passed a slightly different version of the bill, but it is the Senate version that has now been enacted, with the full support of APSP and FSPA. Passage of this legislation is the culmination of a lengthy, intensive effort by both Houses of Congress to promote child safety in and around pools, spas and hot tubs. |

From Wikipedia -- The Golden Retriever is a breed of dog, historically developed as a gundog to retrieve shot waterfowl and upland game during hunting. As such they were bred to have a soft mouth to retrieve game undamaged and an instinctive love of water.Their intelligence and versatility sees them employed in a variety of roles including illegal drug detection, search and rescue, as hunting dogs and as guide dogs. Its friendly, eager-to-please and patient demeanor has also made it one of the most popular family dogs (by registration) in the world today.
The temperament of the Golden Retriever is a hallmark of the breed and is described in the standard as "kindly, friendly and confident".

Behavior can vary depending on their environment, genetics, and interaction with people. Because they are easy to breed in captivity, hamsters are often used as lab animals in more economically developed countries. Hamsters have also become established as popular small pets.
