A mobile celebration for a college-bound 19-year-old took a dangerous turn when the girl fell from a moving party bus, landed on a highway and lived to tweet about it -- but her friends didn't exactly flock to her side after she fell.
Burnsville police told FOX 9 News they fielded multiple calls reporting a body on the side of the road, but they say passengers aboard the party bus the young woman fell from were conflicted about helping their friend and helping themselves avoid underage drinking charges.
Nearly three dozen recent high school graduates rented the "Flirting Flamingo" party bus, but 19-year-old Katie Brown flirted with danger when she opened an emergency exit window and fell out onto Northbound 35W.
"Typically, when you find out somebody's along the side of the road, you think somebody has been hit by a car," Capt. Eric Gieseke, of the Burnsville Police Department, said.
Stunned drivers immediately called 911, but not a single call came from any of Brown's friends inside the bus. When they finally told the bus driver what had happened, he pulled off at the next exit and called police. By then, more than 20 minutes had passed.
"It's shocking she wasn't hurt more seriously," Gieseke said. "It's great news she wasn't killed."
Some kids did run back to help Brown, but the bus driver said the majority fled the scene because they were worried about getting in trouble. Out of 35 on the bus, only 11 were left after police were called.
Brown was taken to HCMC, where she is listed in satisfactory condition. She even tweeted about the embarrassing event while others scolded her classmates for running away.
"You hope people would apply common sense," Gieseke said. "You hope they'd be looking out for the victim and not themselves."
The bus operator said the driver was entering the freeway when Brown fell out, and estimated the speed at between 35 and 40 mph, which could explain why she wasn't more seriously injured.
The bus, which is owned by All Occasions Bus and Limo, passed inspections with the Minnesota State Patrol. Since the emergency exit was working properly, neither the driver nor the company were cited for violations.
The contract to rent the bus, which was signed by a parent of one of the partygoers, clearly states that no drugs or underage drinking is allowed. The bus company told FOX 9 News they even checked for booze before the kids got on board.

Earth Overshoot Day: Resource constraints compound economic inequality between countries
Today's most vulnerable countries are struggling with both low income (as defined by the World Bank) and biocapacity deficits. They are home to 72 percent of the global population, including two billion people who are not able to meet their most basic needs.
Global Footprint Network, Oakland, CA, August 15, 2014
Aug. 19 was Earth Overshoot Day 2014
It has taken less than eight months for humanity to use up nature's entire budget for the year and go into ecological overshoot.
Global Footprint Network, Oakland, CA, August 22, 2014
Living Planet Report 2014 Release
Humanity's demand on the planet is more than 50 percent larger than what nature can renew, jeopardizing the well-being of humans as well as populations of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish, according to data released today by Global Footprint Network, WWF and the Zoological Society of London.

Philippines Laguna Lake Region Running Staggering Ecological Deficit
Mirroring national trends of steady resource degradation, the Philippines' Laguna Lake region now faces a staggering ecological deficit as its population demands natural resources at a rate 30 times faster than what the region can renewably supply, according to a recent report on the resource demand and supply of the region.
Global Footprint Network, Oakland, CA, October 23, 2013
August 20th was Earth Overshoot Day 2013
Humanity has exhausted nature's budget for the year and is now operating in overdraft, according to data from Global Footprint Network, an international sustainability think tank with offices in California, Europe and Japan. Earth Overshoot Day is the approximate date humanity's annual demand on nature exceeds what Earth can renew in a year. Global Footprint Network tracks humanity's demand on the planet's ecological resources (such as food provisions, raw materials and carbon dioxide absorption) — its Ecological Footprint — against nature's ability to replenish those resources and absorb waste. Global Footprint Network's data show that, in less than eight months, we have used as much nature as our planet can regenerate this year.

Environmental Risks Threaten Government Debt Markets, Global Footprint Network & UNEP Say
The E-RISC, or Environmental Risk in Sovereign Credit Analysis tool can be used to incorporate natural resource risks into sovereign credit risk assessments. Investors want to better understand emerging risks in the bond market, the report said, because concerns that debt levels in Europe and the U.S. have shaken the perception government bonds are risk free.

Environmental risks are potentially large enough to affect countries' economies in ways that could influence their willingness or ability to repay sovereign debt.

September 27th is Earth Overshoot Day: the day when human demand exceeded the regenerative capacity
Katsunori Iha, Research Economist, featured in Science Links Japan. Global Footprint Network announced that "Earth Overshoot Day" this year fell on September 27th, the day when human demand exceeded the regenerative capacity of the natural biosystem in a year. This means that we will maintain "ecological debt" with three months remaining to the end of the year. The indicator used is derived from the Ecological Footprint analysis, a method that is fast gaining attention in recent years. Here, I would like to give an overview of the Ecological Footprint analysis, and the significance of what it analyses, "Earth Overshoot Day". Read articles in French; Japanese; Chinese

Stomping on biodiversity: humanity's growing Ecological Footprint
Alessandro Galli, Global Footprint Network's Senior Scientist, featured in the Commonwealth Ministers article. In 2002, leaders of the world's governments, recognising the threat posed by the high rate of species declines, committed to significantly halting the rate of biodiversity loss by 2010. Yet, a 2010 study by Dr Stuart Butchart and others in the journal Science shows that leaders have failed to deliver on these commitments and have instead overseen alarming declines. In this article the author considers the urgent new initiatives to contain and reverse these global losses.

1964 Pima Doubles Capacity The Pima Mining Co., 20 miles southwest of Tucson, Ariz., is planning ahead to 1967. This will be the important year when first production will come from its new Northeast pit--now being developed--and ____ present Pima pit will be phased out. By this time nearly $8 million will have been spent in a carefully planned and engineered 6-year program of expansion and transition. This program entails: (1) doubling milling capacity to 8, 000 tpd. ; (2) providing additional ore storage and surge capacity; (3) purchase of new open pit equipment; (4) modification of the loading facilities at the skip hoist; (5) stripping 200 ft. of alluvium from the Northeast ore body; (6) completing an exploration drilling program; (7) studies of the Northeast ore body; (8) transfer of all mining activities to the new Northeast pit (1967). In 1960, management of the Pima Mining Co. (50 percent owned by Cyprus Mines Corp. , 25 percent by Utah Construction and Mining Co. and 25 percent by Union Oil Co.) recognized the inevitable fact that ore Reserves in the Pima open pit would be depleted in a few years. However, after the Pima ore body was discovered in the early 1950's, a large zone; of low-grade, copper-bearing ore was found to exist by drilling so the northeast. Thus the future of the company was clearly in this direction, and feasibility studies were ordered. These were completed in 1961, and mining of the Northeast ore body was judged economically sound. After due consideration, the board of directors gave the green light to proceed with project in the latter part of 196l. Up until this time, mining in the Pima, pit was on a basis of 3,000 to 4,000 tpd. This tonnage was handled by 2-1/2 cu. yd. shovels, 20-ton trucks, and a skip hoist with two 20-ton capacity skips. To increase the output of the pit to supply the newly-planned 8,000 tpd. mill capacity, various pieces of new pit equipment and changes were required. The problem of getting more production from the pit was solved by the Pima engineers who proposed: (1) modifying and increasing the capacity of the present truck haulage fleet; (2) purchase of larger capacity trucks which would eventually be used in the new pit; (3) purchase of two larger capacity electric shovels that would also see service in the new pit; and (4) adding two 40-ton surge bins at the skip hoist loading station. The fleet of ten 20-ton tracks was modified by adding 14-in. steel sideboards to the dump boxes. This had the effect of increasing carrying capacity to approximately 27 tons or about 12 cu. yd.

Just came across the preeclampsia foundation after coming home from hospital. I lost my baby at 24 weeks on Wednesday 30th May 2012 and gave birth (stilborn) on Thursday 31st May 2012.
Just thought I would come on here for some support.
I had no symptoms of preeclampsia it was just lucky that I happened to have an appointment with a consultant when it was picked up that my blood pressure was critically high and protein was in my urine. I felt perfectly well in myself. I am only just coming to realise how ill i was and how my life could also have been lost.
We are awaiting the results of the post-mortem and hope that it may provide us with some more answers.
I am now on blood pressure tablets and have been told not to try for another baby until my blood pressure has stablised.
I only had one high blood pressure reading at 10 weeks but the midwife thought it might be down to the fact she had just taken blood from me which was not an easy process and that I had got a bit distressed over it. THe rest of my blood pressure checks were within the normal range for pregnancy.
I am feeling so lucky to be alive but incredibly sad too.
Does anyone know how long it takes for preeclampsia to leave the body?
thank you

Dan Amatuzzi talks about pairing wine and food.
*It's easy to find a good bottle of wine under $20.
*Match wine to food weight. If food is heavy, wine should be heavy.
*Always keep an open mind when trying different wines
if you want to get into wine, decide how much you can spend per week...and then double it.
Although cheap wine is good on the wallet, some cheap wines can hinder the learning the experience of wine.
Buying tips: start with grapes you've heard of and try different wines made from that grape throughout the world.
You'd be surprised that Syrah grown in California produces wines vastly different form Syrah grown in Australia.
Weeding out the regions that you don't particularly enjoy is a good way to stick to what you like and then discover more wines from those regions.
Pairing tips: No need to argue about white or red with the fish course... anything goes these days...remember YOU'RE the boss.
Just follow this one rule: Light foods with Light wines, Heavy foods with Heavy wines.
They can be white or red, you just don't want to squash the texutre and flavor of delicate foods (crudo, shushi, salads) with overly-oaky whites and inky, robust reds...save these for the heartier fare (soups, stews, rich proteins)
Serving temp tips: Don't have a wine fridge in your tiny apt? You're not alone.
All you need to do is pop the reds in the fridge for 15 minutes, and the white for about 30 mins, and you'll reach the ideal serving temp for most reds and whites, respectively.
As the wines open up to room temp, you'll begin to smell different aromas and taste different aspects of the wine as it breathes and warms up.
If reds are served at high room temps, the alcohol can overpower the fruit and earthy aspects. If the whites are served too cold, the fruit and aromas are masked.
Aging wines tips: Keep 'em on their sides and in a dark, cool place. Sunlight, heat, and exposure to oxygen are the daggers to long-term wines. You also want to keep wines away from washing machines, dishwashers, or any other machines that can cause constant vibrations - which will shorten the lifespan of a wine. Keep in mind though that only 1 percent of all wine made each year is intended for aging longer than five years.

According to the New York Times, she is commuting from Westchester New York to the company's Sunnyvale, California headquarters. This is despite the fact that she is married with children.
The trip from New York to Sunnyvale is ~6,000 miles round trip, so it's no joke. We assume she's doing this on a weekly, not daily basis.
We reached out to Yahoo for a comment, but at the time of this writing, hadn't heard back.

HOOD COUNTY, TX (RNN) - Strong storms and tornadoes ripped through rural parts of Hood County, TX, Wednesday, killing at least six people.
The Granbury area, southwest of Fort Worth, appeared to be the community that sustained the most damage.
Preliminary reports from the National Weather Service say tornado was that hit Grandbury was an EF-4, meaning winds were between 166 mph to 200 mph.
Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds says seven people are still unaccounted for, but they continue to look.
"We are doing a thorough search of the area again with the Search and Rescue Task Force 2 team from Dallas Fire and Rescue," Deeds said. "We've got them covering the area and we might do a more in depth search to cause I'm not going to leave and stone unturned."
The Hood County Sheriff's Office said the apparent twister initially touched down in Granbury. It then touched down again several times in Hood, Tarrant, Dallas and Parker counties.
At least two tornadoes touched down, destroying an untold number of homes. Many of the homes in the Rancho Brazos subdivision are Habitat for Humanity homes.
Sheriff Roger Deeds said many of the homes in that neighborhood sustained "heavy damage to totally destroyed."
During a press conference Thursday morning, Deeds said seven people are still unaccounted for.
According to Dallas affiliate WFAA, as many as 100 may be injured, and authorities are going door-to-door to check for people trapped in homes.
Storm surveys are planned for Thursday to determine the severity of damage to communities in north Texas, the National Weather Service stated.
"You can tell where the tornado went through because it's just wiped out, trees gone, houses completely demolished," one witness reported.
Area hospitals were on alert and anticipating an influx of patients.
Lake Granbury Medical Center received 37 patients, according to Deeds.
The American Red Cross has deployed to the area and opened two shelters in Granbury.
From Mineral Wells to Granbury, anywhere from pea- to baseball-sized hail rained down.
In addition, vehicles were stuck early Thursday morning in high water in the Dallas area, according to the Red Cross Dallas-Fort Worth's Twitter feed. Reports indicate as many as 200 vehicles were stranded.
Widespread wind damage was also reported in Ennis, TX, about 35 miles south of Dallas, the National Weather Service in Fort Worth stated.
According to the Associated Press, nearly 20,00 homes and business were without power early Thursday.

Kwame Kilpatrick's family has been conspicuous by their absence in federal court. He has been surrounded by them for years, first on the city's payroll and then in court during the text message scandal. They've been gone, but that all changed on Tuesday.
"Wouldn't you think that at the climax of the case it would be important to have the support of everybody you love?" said Kilpatrick attorney Jim Thomas.For five months, the only family member Kilpatrick could turn to was his father, Bernard, and "Pops" Kilpatrick was only there because he's on trial, too.But this case is almost over. Thomas delivered his closing argument blasting the government for over-reaching and lying about the former mayor and attacking witnesses who said they hired mayoral best bud Bobby Ferguson because they feared losing contracts.In a pointed reference to Tony Soave, who complained about Ferguson, Thomas told jurors "it kind of sticks in my craw a little bit when you have a guy worth $2.5 billion coming in here and saying he has fear of losing money."He said the government's case is based on the self-serving testimony of Emma Bell, Karl Kado and Derrick Miller, who he said "got in trouble on their own and had a heavy motivation to implicate Kwame Kilpatick."Kilpatrick's wife and sons, mother and sister listened as Thomas told jurors the feds failed to prove the 30 charges against him."Supporting their dad's an important thing at this point. I'm happy that they're here. That wasn't something that I planned," said Thomas.
"Were they props just for the jury to see?" a reporter asked.
"That's [expletive]," Thomas answered.Carlita Kilpatrick and Ayanna Kilpatrick-Ferguson came back after lunch to hear Bernard Kilpatrick's attorney defend him, but he was cut short after ten minutes when a juror got sick.The case is scheduled to resume Thursday, meaning John Shea may have to start all over again."So what was the alternative? I mean it would've been worse had the juror not said I need a break. You know, then I've got eleven instead of twelve paying attention," Shea told me.Shea says it's disappointing, but won't affect his performance."When they call a false start, you go back to the blocks and you get down there and you get ready again," he remarked.As for Thomas, after five long months, he's just glad his work is finally done."I'll tell you what I'm happy about. I'm going to get a good night's sleep tonight," he said.

Michiganders can't help but wonder how bad the government shutdown will affect us locally. Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson shares his opinion, saying we won't even notice. He tells Fox 2's Andrea Isom, "The only people who are going to notice if the federal government shuts down are the hundreds of thousands of federal employees who live and work around Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland. But the rest us, in the 49 states, we're not going to notice, nor are we going to give a damn. I think shutting down might just get their attention. So I say shut it down - and keep it shut down."Maureen Taylor, of Michigan Warfare Rights Organization, also shares her thoughts. "[The shutdown] is going to mean life and death for a significant portion of the population that welfare rights serves."The effects of a shutdown could trickle down to welfare mothers and their children, veterans, the disabled and the elderly by the weekend. "I'm at the point now where I'm questioning whether nonviolence in the way to go. I'm almost there. I'm on the fence. I'm thinking, 'You know what? Maybe we should pick up a Bible and throw it at one of them. ... Maybe we should pick up the Koran and throw it at one of them. Maybe we better pick up some religious documents and throw it at these people.' But I don't even think it would work," Taylor adds. "You're not going to threaten me with a shutdown. There's nothing that I get from the government. The only people who are going to feel it are those who are on some kind of public assistance. And they've assured them your social security checks are going through, your disability checks will go through. If you're in the military you're going to get your pay," Brooks says. For him, the bottom line is: Stop going deeper and deeper into debt and stop spending dollars you just don't have. He says, "What do I say to Washington? Go to hell, that's my three words. I really am fed of with them, tired of it. It's not the same country when I joined the army 40 years ago. I've just lost so much confidence in my federal government, I really have."

In the world of Mixed Martial Arts, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson is the man to watch. His six year run in the UFC will end at the United Center Saturday night after a late night fight, but it's not his punch or kick that has several women's groups upset. They don't want him on the ticket because he made a video on "how to rape a woman."
The video was taken off of You tube after 1,200 hits.
Dawn Dalton with the Battered Women's Network in Chicago says that video shouldn't have been made.
"How is that still acceptable? How is that a behavior or action that makes light of raping a woman? For anyone whose ever been raped or knows someone that's been raped it's bone chilling to think of the realities those people go through," Dalton says.
A number of women's groups are asking the Ultimate Fighting Championship to drop "Rampage" from the competition this weekend. That request has already been denied. Jackson is a big draw for the UFC, but they said when his contract ends Saturday night, it will not be renewed. They say this decision was not because of the video, but because he is difficult to work with.
FOX 32's Darlene Hill talked with UFC COO Lawrence Epstein, who said, "I think the video that was made by Mr. Jackson was inappropriate. I think he has an underdeveloped sense of humor."
He's definitely going to be on the card Saturday night--under our contract with Mr. Jackson and I think it speaks volumes that we won't be working with him on fights going forward."
The groups have asked UFC to hold its nearly 400 athletes accountable by enforcing a code of conduct. Epstein says they will do that and violations will include fines, penalties and community service. Dalton says it's up to the public to make sure of that.
"We can't support folks erred paying to do this work," Dalton says. "To go out and be promoting something that is violence against women."
The fight at the United Center is on FOX Saturday night. FOX corporate has declined to comment on this story.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by run4thefunofit Love these shoes I haven't worn an Adidas shoe for YEARS. Don't know why I stopped but when I ran my marathon and realized SEVERAL toenails turned black, I knew it was time for a change. I'm so glad I went back to my Adidas roots: these shoes are incredibly comfortable and roomy in the toe box. I am a "chi runner" that's not ready to make the total switch to barefoot running. These shoes give lots of cushion in the mid-foot and allow you to feel the surface below your feet...I honestly think my stride will improve while wearing these because I can (for the first time) feel my "toe off." Other shoes I have worn: Brooks Glycerin 11, Saucony Kinvara 4, Saucony Glide. Miles / week: 30-35. December 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sammy2393 This is my first time trying Adidas. I wanted to see what the boost technology was all about but wanted a more heavier trainer which is why I did not try the energy boost. These guys came along and let me tell you...they are awesome! Hands down the best shoes I have ever ran in. I run around 50 miles a week and they get me through every training run and workout. The fit of the shoe was a bit loose for me, but I like my shoes to feel snug so I would say they are true to size but if you like a snug feeling order a half size down. Anyone looking for a high mileage durable trainer this is it! February 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by MaggieM Great shoes I have been running with the SuperNova Glide 3s for years, but the Glide 4 and 5 felt awful when I tried them on so I never purchased them. These, on the other hand, are great. They feel great on and feel great during a run. The only problem, though, is that the size runs big. Fortunately I had read other on-line reviews about the shoe sizes so ordered half a size smaller than I usually run with. They still feel a little big and I'm wondering if I could have gone a whole size smaller. Definitely try them on before buying, or if you're ordering on-line go 1/2 to full size smaller. I plan on buying another pair because I'm so happy with them! April 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by cjanerun Love the shoe...not the color choices I love the comfort.They keep my ankle right over my foot and offer great cushioning. Liked them so much, I ordered a 2nd custom pair because the only thing I don't love is the women's color choices (that's why the 4 and not 5 star rating.) Super dull and boring grays or way out there yellow, which is what I settled on purchasing. Wanted the blue the men's shoe offers, but I would need a Men's 6, and the smallest is 6.5. So a bit bummed to have to pay $20 extra dollars and also not be eligible for free shipping on the custom order just to get the blue color offered but only to men! One other good thing...the size equivalency chart provided comparing the New Balance shoe I was wearing to the Supernova Glide 6 was spot on! April 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 306090 nyc Great for h.i.i.t training I take a strenuous h.i.i.t training class 2x per week. It is such a pain to find a good athletic shoe that provides stability for up, down, forward, back and lateral movement that also provides shock absorption. And it has to look good, and not be too bulky. This shoe is it!!! I feel like I'm pushing off a springboard and my feet feel like they are landing on a small cushion when I do the plyometric moves. Adidas usually always runs big. I normally wear a 7 or 7.5. This shoe I'm a 6.5. I have been wearing Adidas for the past couple years. Formerly the mega bounce and micro bounce shoes, which were so awesome and lasted me about a year. Adidas, pls think about bringing back the megabounce or something like it. January 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Carina1225 Awesome epic shoes. I was previously wearing a super flexible pair of Nike's which I thought were super comfy, and then after a few hours of walking my feet would start to hurt. I went to a running store where they recommended these shoes - it was absolute culture shock to me - these shoes are super cushiony while providing the support my feet needed. Because they were so different they took a few weeks to get used to, but now that I'm used to them I absolutely love them. Highly recommend! My feet have never been happier! I agree with other reviewers that they run a little big - I usually wear 8 1/2 -9 and an 8 is a good fit for me. I have a grey and glacial blue pair and I love the color combination. August 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by supermom123 Love the Boost!!! I am training for a marathon and hurt my knee wearing less cushioned shoes. I chose the supernova glide boost 6 after chatting on the Adidas website. There weren't a lot of choices for color, unless you go for a customized version but I really liked the yellow. It is as promised one of a kind. My feet, knees and hips feel much better with less pain and better endurance. I attribute part of this to the shoes and partly the training. I bought half a size larger as I was getting blisters in my last shoes. These are roomy and that's how I like them. Towards the end of the training my foot would start rolling as I got tired, not as much since the boost. I got what I wanted- great looking shoes that perform as promised. I will keep buying these for future. June 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ChicagoMom So cute and comfortable I was in the market for new running shoes recently and thought I might buy something other than Adidas for once (my last 3 pairs have all been Adidas). After lots of research and trying on different shoes I realized that "if ain't broke, don't fix it", and went for another pair of Adidas. Adidas no longer makes my old standbys (Cushion Response) so I decided to give these a try and I have not been disappointed. These shoes are so comfortable I don't want to take them off. I've been struggling with some plantar fasciitis and when I wear these shoes I have absolutely zero pain in the affected foot. They are lightweight yet very cushiony and are a joy to run and train on. They are also supre cute shoes and I love the color. I'm very tempted to buy a back-up pair now, just in case Adidas decides to change them before I'm ready for a new pair. I highly recommend these shoes and will continue to buy Adidas running shoes as long as they continue to treat me as well as they have in the past. March 12, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by SLC324 Do not buy this shoe I have been wearing Supernova Glides for years and have absolutely loved them. I bought the Glide 6 expecting more of the same. Unfortunately, the quality of the shoe's construction has decreased significantly. The top of the shoe around the toes is no longer stitched but, instead, glued. Due to injury, I have only been using the shoes for walking and interval training and have owned them for four months. But, there is already a hole in the mesh lining above my first toe. I am very disappointed and will be looking for a new brand of shoe. May 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by workfun Not just for running! This is my first pair of adidas. I LOVE these shoes. Wow! I do high intensity gym workouts including "Insanity" at my local gym, 3+times a week. Lots of jumping sets! My ankles, feet and knees are very grateful for the Boost technology! I can put more into the workout without suffering the next day. I highly recommend Boost shoes!!

World Wetlands Day 2006 - index page
What is World Wetlands Day?2 February each year is World Wetlands Day. It marks the date of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands on 2 February 1971, in the Iranian city of Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian Sea. WWD was celebrated for the first time in 1997 and made an encouraging beginning. Each year, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and groups of citizens at all levels of the community have taken advantage of the opportunity to undertake actions aimed at raising public awareness of wetland values and benefits in general and the Ramsar Convention in particular. From 1997 to 2005, the Convention's Web site has posted reports from more than 90 countries of WWD activities of all sizes and shapes, from lectures and seminars, nature walks, children's art contests, sampan races, and community clean-up days, to radio and television interviews and letters to newspapers, to the launch of new wetland policies, new Ramsar sites, and new programmes at the national level.
Please don't forget to tell the Secretariat what you did on World Wetlands Day for the reports section of our WWD Web pages - last year's can be viewed here. We always do our best to include all the reports we receive but we would really appreciate all reports to be sent to us by May 2006. Photos, text and sample materials are all welcome. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here is what the Ramsar Secretariat offers the Wetland Celebrants for February 2006

Please note that in that case the Secretariat must receive your request by 15 January at the very latest, and much earlier if you know that mail delivery from Switzerland takes a long time. Note, too, that due to budgetary restrictions we CANNOT send materials by express delivery except for very special reasons.
The list of contacts in each of the Party states can be found athttp://ramsar.org/wwd/6/wwd2006_list.htm.
Electronic formats
For those who wish to print quantities of the poster or stickers for themselves or to adapt them to their own languages and imagery, we have also produced them in a variety of electronic formats. There are:
CD-ROM 1: For use with a MAC or PC, this CD includes the poster and stickers in QuarkXpress Passport 6.0 and 4.11. With this electronic version you will be able to edit the text (but not the images) to produce a personalised version of the poster and stickers. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU (OR YOUR PRINTER/PUBLISHER) WILL NEED TO HAVE THE APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE TO OPEN THESE FILES.
This CD will also include the poster and stickers as .TIF files, BUT PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO EDIT THESE VERSIONS.
CD-ROM 2: For use with a MAC or PC, this CD will include the poster and stickers as Adobe Photoshop files: Adobe Photoshop CS (TIF) and Illustrator CS. This version will allow you to personalise the poster and stickers, changing the text and the images as you wish. Please be aware that these will be very large documents and some computers may not be able to open them.
On this CD there are also Adobe Acrobat PDF versions that will simply allow you to print the materials without being able to edit them. For this you will need Adobe Acrobat 5.0.
Once you have determined with your designer which of these formats would be preferable, please request either CD1 or CD2 from the Ramsar Secretariat, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Since its inception, the production and distribution of materials for World Wetlands Day have been financially supported by the Evian Project funded by the Danone Group.

It's a good thing I'm not in school anymore. With all the reasons kids get suspended nowadays, I wouldn't last 10-seconds in school.
The madness has even made it over the border, as a 2 year old girl in Canada gets suspended from daycare for bringing a cheese sandwich with her.


text: Just wondering if anyone has any info on research done giving names of companies that do use them or pledge not to? There are a few snack foods we eat that show wholesome ingredients but aren't organic so now I'm just worried about everything. I was relieved to find that bob's red mill is against gmo's since I use some of their gluten free flours. I see a lot of stuff floating around facebook but who knows how valid that info is! Thanks if advance!

The BVA/KC/International Sheep Dog Society (ISDS) Eye Scheme offers breeders the possibility of eye testing to screen for inherited eye disease in certain breeds. By screening breeding stock for these diseases, breeders can use the information to eliminate or reduce the frequency of eye disease being passed on to puppies. At the centre of the scheme are two schedules: Schedule A and Schedule B.
Schedule A contains a list of breeds and eye conditions that are known to be inherited in those breeds. Under the Eye scheme one of a specialist group of canine ophthalmologists (the Eye Panel) examines a dog to look for clinical signs of inherited disease known to affect the breed in question. If no clinical signs are noted for these diseases, then the dog is declared 'unaffected'; if signs consistent with one or more Schedule A conditions, then the dog will be declared 'affected' for the relevant disease. These results are passed to the KC for inclusion in the tested dog's registration database. Only the results of Schedule A examinations are available to the Health Test Result Finder. List of breeds and conditions on Schedule A: www.thekennelclub.org.uk/media/303395/canine_health_schemes_eye_schedule_a_january_2013.pdf
Schedule B is a list of breeds and conditions which are suspected of being inherited in those breeds. The panellists' observations on Schedule B conditions are noted and returned to the BVA, but these results are not passed to the KC and so the results of Schedule B examinations are not available to the Health Test Result Finder. List of breeds and conditions on Schedule B: www.thekennelclub.org.uk/media/303421/canine_health_schemes_eye_schedule_b_january_2013.pdf
In general, it is recommended that eyes are examined annually (except for glaucoma predisposition which is only done once by gonioscopy), with the advice given to breeders to only breed from dogs that are found to be unaffected (or clear) of all known conditions in the breed.
CEA - Collie eye anomaly
CHC - Congenital hereditary cataract
G - Glaucoma, all forms
HC - Hereditary cataract
PHPV - Persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous
PLL - Primary lens luxation
PPM - Persistent pupillary membrane
CPRA - Centralised progressive retinal atrophy
GPRA - Generalised progressive retinal atrophy
MRD - Multifocal retinal dysplasia
TRD - Total retinal dysplasia

The dollar has been mixed since the New York close yesterday, with USD-JPY extending to a fresh major-trend high of 108.67, before settling to the 108.30 area, while the greenback corrected some of the gains seen in the wake of the FOMC statement yesterday against the euro and other currencies. Japanese export offers were see selling USD-JPY, while there was talk that the speculative market had got itself overly long dollars. EUR-USD recovered to the ... Read More ►

Narrow ranges prevailed in pre-FOMC trade. The dollar was steady after seeing some weakness in post-London trade in New York yesterday after WSJ Fedwatcher Hilsenrath said that the Fed is set to retain "considerable time" in its policy lexicon. Markets had been entertaining the idea that this phrase would be dropped, which in the event would mark a baby-step toward policy normalization. EUR-USD settled around 1.2950 after making a two-week low at 1.2995 ... Read More ►

Post-FOMC profit taking weighed on the dollar in N.Y. trade on Thursday, despite firmer yields and another Wall Street rally.

EUR-USD touched 1.2857 lows after the data, before rebounding to session highs of 1.2928. USD-JPY meanwhile, rallied to trend highs of 108.96, before being ... Read More ►

Food as Medicine - RX-Prostate Health
The most common cancer in American men afflicts a very tiny gland: the prostate. The size of a walnut, the prostate surrounds the urethra and produces seminal fluid. Doctors diagnose 234,000 new cases of prostate cancer annually, along with other prostate woes like enlargement and inflammation, which cause discomfort and painful urination.
These conditions often accompany aging. As testosterone levels drop, the prostate enlarges. But prostate problems increasingly are afflicting younger men, says Gina L. Nick, ND, president of the California Naturopathic Doctors Association. In fact, more than half of men age 40 to 59 have enlarged prostates.
The reason may lurk in nonorganic meat and dairy, which contain growth hormones. "Growth hormones used in commercial animals can cause aberrant cellular proliferation in the prostate and ovaries," says clinical nutritionist James Chappell, ND. "Commercial red meat consumption increases one''s risk of cancer, specifically the prostate in men." Wild and organic meats lack synthetic hormones and thus the cancer connection, he says. These powerhouse nutrients also promote prostate health:
Lycopene: A powerful antioxidant found in tomatoes, apricots, guava, watermelon, and pink grapefruit, lycopene not only helps prevent prostate disorders but also may shrink existing tumors. Some caveats: For maximum lycopene concentration and absorption, choose tomato sauces and cooked tomatoes. Whenever you can, opt for the real food, since the nutrient works best in conjunction with other phytonutrients in fruits and vegetables.
Zinc: "The level of zinc in the prostate gland declines dramatically in men suffering from prostate cancer or benign prostate hyperplasia," Nick says. Pumpkin seeds offer a great source of zinc, as do barley, chicken, oysters, crab, and wheat.
Tea: A 2004 study found that polyphenols (antioxidants) in black and green teas helped men with early prostate cancer stave off more advanced stages. To maximize the polyphenol concentration, steep the tea for five minutes in 8 ounces of water.
Selenium: Seafood, liver, brown rice, oats, and—drum roll please—Brazil nuts provide abundant amounts of selenium. You don''t need much to decrease your prostate cancer risk—just 200 mcg daily (about two Brazil nuts), according to a 2003 study in the International Journal of Cancer.
Healthy fats: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in cold-water fish and flaxseed oil, pay large dividends for prostate health. Avoid excessive saturated fat, however, and stay active: A 2005 large-scale study in the Journal of Urology found that men who had a higher lean body mass and testosterone levels had lower incidence of prostate cancer.

Students rally and march on the campus of Morehouse College on Saturday after a student there was shot after a basketball game the previous day.The students want to end gun violence and violent acts such as the one on campus on Friday. The quiet show of solidarity came hours after 20 year old Amir Obafemi, a Clark Atlanta University student, was arrested for allegedly shooting of Morehouse senior Cornelius Savage. Savage was near Archer Hall on Friday when he was shot in the arm after a pick-up basketball game in the gym.Morehouse College Police Chief Vernon Worthy says Obafemi was with his attorney when he surrendered just before 2 p.m. Saturday at the Fulton County Jail. He credits witnesses for helping officers make such a quick arrest.

Bill Graham Presents printed its own concert tickets in the days before computers and bar codes, and many of these tickets are now considered exceptional works of art in their own right. Small facsimiles or derivations of the show's promotional posters, they were typically color-coded to indicate multi-night engagements, and matched sets of these concert tickets tell the story of a bygone era when major performers played extended, single-venue engagements. Virtually all of our concert tickets are in mint condition; however, we may in select cases offer one-of-a-kind, extremely rare and valuable concert tickets in less than mint condition.
