8 Smart Ways to Save on Groceries
Try these money-saving tips and tricks next time you're at the grocery store. Plan ahead to maximize savings with our guide to cooking and shopping smarter. Then, check out these dollar-stretching recipe collections of one-pot dinners, 5-ingredient main dishes, and more ways to use your food budget wisely.
By Rebecca Barnes
1. Watch the register. In most grocery stores, advertised sales change every week, so the scanners have to be updated constantly. But surprisingly often, they're not, so they charge you the full amount, not the discounted price. To get the deal you're after, keep an eye on the price being registered by the scanner, whether you're operating it yourself or dealing with a cashier. Put all the week's specials in a corner of your cart and line them up on the checkout counter together so you can easily keep track of the prices you're being charged as the items are scanned.
2. Don't assume that regular-price items are being entered correctly. After all, the person at the register may not know a pomegranate from a persimmon. On a recent shopping trip, I watched as a cashier entered my three-pound cabbage (39 cents per pound) as Brussels sprouts ($1.89 per pound) an overcharge of $4.50. If I hadn't corrected him, my family would've eaten some very pricey coleslaw that night.
3. Collect your payoff if there's a mistake. Many people don't know it, but big chains like Giant, Safeway, and Kroger will often give you an item for free if the scan shows a higher price than what's advertised. (Tobacco, alcohol, pharmacy items, and dairy are excluded.)
4. Be persistent. If your grocer runs out of an advertised special, ask customer service for a rain check a written promise to sell you the item at the lower price when it's restocked. Make sure the slip specifies the maximum number you can buy for the sale price (usually six). Ask about the time limit for using your rain check (it's usually 15 days).
5. Don't be fooled by deals like two for $1. You don't have to buy two. If the ad says "Buy two for $5" and you want only one, you can still get it for $2.50. If the item doesn't automatically scan that way, point out the sale price to the cashier.
6. Stock up, but wisely. Before you stash 10 boxes of something on your shelves, check the sell-by date. Even seemingly ageless products like tea bags and toothpaste eventually expire and you don't want to be stuck owning eight more when they do.
7. Weigh before you pay. If you're buying a 10-pound bag of potatoes, put it on the scale before you put it in your cart. Many items weigh less than what the package says.
8. Don't pay extra for convenience. It's easier to pick up personal-care products and other nongrocery items at the supermarket. But this stuff often costs more than it does at a big drugstore chain.

Renovascular hypertension is high blood pressure due to narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys. This condition is also called renal artery stenosis.
Renal hypertension; Hypertension - renovascular; Renal artery occlusion; Stenosis - renal artery; Renal artery stenosis
Renal artery stenosis is a narrowing or blockage of the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys.
The most common cause of renal artery stenosis is a blockage in the arteries due to high cholesterol. This problem occurs when a sticky, fatty substance called plaque builds up on the inner lining of the arteries.
When the arteries that carry blood to your kidneys become narrow, less blood flows to the kidneys. The kidneys mistakenly respond as if your blood pressure is low. As a result, they release hormones that tell the body to hold on to more salt and water. This causes your blood pressure to rise.
Risk factors for atherosclerosis:
Fibromuscular dysplasia is another cause of renal artery stenosis. It is often seen in women under age 50. It tends to run in families. The condition is caused by abnormal growth of cells in the walls of the arteries leading to the kidneys. This also leads to narrowing or blockage of these arteries.
People with renovascular hypertension may have a history of very high blood pressure that is hard to bring down with medicines.
Symptoms of renovascular hypertension include:
If you have a dangerous form of high blood pressure called malignant hypertension, symptoms can include:
The health care provider may hear a "whooshing" noise, called a bruit, when placing a stethoscope over your belly area.
The following blood tests may be done:
Imaging tests may be done to see if the kidney arteries have narrowed. They include:
High blood pressure caused by narrowing of the arteries that lead to the kidneys is often hard to control.
One or more medicines are needed to help control blood pressure. There are many types available.
Have your cholesterol levels checked, and treated if it is needed. Your doctor will help determine the right cholesterol levels for you based on your heart disease risk and other health conditions.
Lifestyle changes are important:
Further treatment depends on what causes the narrowing of the kidney arteries. Your doctor may recommend a procedure called angioplasty with stenting.
These procedures may be an option if you have:
However, the decision about which patients should have these procedures is complex, and depends on many of the factors listed above.
If your blood pressure is not well controlled, you are at risk for the following complications:
Call your health care provider if you think you have high blood pressure.
Call your health care provider if you have renovascular hypertension and symptoms get worse or do not improve with treatment. Also call if new symptoms develop.
Preventing atherosclerosis may prevent rental artery stenosis. Taking the following steps can help:

Turn towards the sea and discover the island of Faro. In Culatra there are seamen and their beach seems more like a natural haven with colorful fishing boats. Farol (Lighthouse) Island located in Culatra, counterbalances with the large urban settlement having a long sandy beach. The Deserta Island is the least crowded and best preserved in the Algarve region.
To begin the journey to the Faro islands, the Cais da Porta Nova, located in the Comandante Francisco Manuel Street, is the best starting point. From there taxis depart towards the islands that surround Ria Formosa - Farol, Culatra and Deserta - all certified with the Blue Flag in 2010. The flora of the dunes and the numerous species of birds unite with the warm, calm waters of these islands. From the Trade Pier in Faro there is another destination: Faro Beach. In addition to this extensive beach, you have great conditions for water sports practice such as surfing or windsurfing. A visit to the Farol Island must be part of this itinerary. Schedule a trip to the lighthouse, which offers a fantastic view over the entire length of the island, as well as the urban center of the cities of Olhão and Faro.

- Description
- Reviews
Like the original pair curated in the American Stories exhibition at our American History Museum, the handcrafted "Ruby Red Slippers" adorning this adorable Ruby Slippers Musical Glass Trinket Box recall Dorothy's classic journey to Oz. Raise the lid and a sensor activates the original Judy Garland recording of Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Velvet-lined interior; felted underside. Interior on/off switch. Takes 3 AAA batteries (not included). Glass, resin. 2.7"h. x 4"sq.
Museum Provenance
A cherished classic, the 1939 film of L. Frank Baum's children's book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz brought Dorothy's adventures in the magical Land of Oz to life for generations of children. The nostalgic, enchanting and just plain cute collection on these pages celebrates the 75th anniversary of the movie's debut, while highlighting Dorothy's ruby red slippers, the scarecrow's costume and the 1938 movie script—all held in the collections of our National Museum of American History.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

A nurse practitioner (NP) is a nurse with a graduate degree in advanced practice nursing.
See also: Types of health care providers
The NP is allowed to provide a broad range of health care services, which may include:
Nurse practitioners work in a variety of settings, including:
Some nurse practitioners work in clinics without doctor supervision. Others work together with doctors as a joint health care team. Their scope of practice and authority depends on state laws. For example, some states allow nurse practitioners to write prescriptions, while other states do not.
Like many other professions, nurse practitioners are regulated at two different levels. They are licensed through a process that takes place at the state level under state laws. They are certified through national organizations, with consistent professional practice standards across all states.
The laws on NP licensure vary greatly from state to state. Today, more states are requiring NPs to have a master's degree and national certification.
In some states, NP practice is completely independent. Other states require that NPs work with an MD for prescriptive practice privileges or to get licensed. A few states still do not have specific nurse practitioner licenses or recognize practice by NPs.
National certification is offered through various nursing organizations (such as the American Nurses' Association, Pediatric Nursing Certification Board, and others). Most of these organizations require that NPs complete an approved master's-level NP program before taking the certification exam. The exams tend to be offered in specialty areas, such as:
To be recertified, NPs need to show proof of continuing education. Only certified nurse practitioners may use a "C" either in front of or behind their other credentials (e.g., Certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, FNP-C, Certified Family Nurse Practitioner). Some nurse practitioners may use the credential ARNP, which means advanced registered nurse practioner. This is a broader category that includes clinical nurse specialists, certified nurse midwives, and nurse anesthetists.

See Cereals reviewed, and How we test to find out more, and for more information about groceries, see Food and health.
Starting your day with breakfast provides many advantages. A number of studies suggest that people who eat breakfast are less likely to be overweight or obese than those who skip it. Eating breakfast can also help children with concentration and performance at school.
Our body's preferred source of fuel is carbohydrates, so to kickstart your day a cereal - being grain based and therefore naturally high in carbohydrates - is generally a good option. And a cereal high in fibre is a real bonus. Adults need about 25-30g fibre a day, and most of us don't eat enough. And it's not just adults - a recent Australian study found that only 18% of pre-schoolers were getting an adequate intake of fibre.
You should be able to rely on a breakfast cereal to deliver a decent whack of your daily fibre needs so we believe fibre content is a priority when choosing a healthy cereal. What you don't want in a breakfast cereal is lots of salt, sugar or saturated fat (see our Healthy Cereal Checklist).
In March 2010, Cereal Partners Worldwide (Nestle), Kellogg's, Sanitarium, Aldi, Coles and Woolworths, as members of the federal government's Food and Health Dialogue, committed to reduce the sodium content of breakfast cereals that exceed 400mg per 100g by 15% over four years, and we've already seen some positive action as a result. Corn Flakes and Rice Bubbles were the latest in a line of Kellogg's cereals to have their sodium content reduced, both by 20%. Sanitarium reduced the sodium content of its Skippy Corn Flakes by 25%. And Aldi's GoldenVale Breakfast Bubbles, the saltiest cereal in our previous review, recently had a 30% reduction in its sodium content. Yet despite these reductions, all four cereals remain amongst the saltiest on test.
Such changes are a step in the right direction – and we welcome the sodium reductions across the breakfast cereal category as a whole that have occurred in recent years - but there's still room for improvement.
Sugar and salt do play a vital role in the tastiness of a product, but many cereals targeted specifically at kids have more in common with treat foods than a nutritious breakfast.
(A) Discontinued, but may be available in some stores.
(B) Formulation will change in the next few months.
(C) The dietary fibre figure is based on testing conducted by an external laboratory as the manufacturer did not provide this information.
(D) Fruit sugar contributes to the sugars total (g/100g)
Nutrient data is taken from the on-pack nutrition information panel.
Total Dietary Fibre criteria The cereals are ranked by dietary fibre content, as you should be able to rely on cereal to make a real contribution to your daily fibre needs.
Very high = at least 20% fibre
High = 10%-19.9% fibre
Moderate = 5%-9.9% fibre
Low = less than 5% fibre
Traffic light criteria are based on the latest nutrition recommendations and dietary guidelines established by government health experts in Australia and internationally. Traffic lights allow you to compare the products at a glance and identify those that contain a little , a moderate amount or a lot of key nutrients of public concern.
Saturated fat (g/100g) ≤1.5, 1.6-4.9, ≥5
Sugars (g/100g). ≤5, 5.1-14.9, ≥15
Sodium (mg/100g) ≤120, 121-599, ≥600.

The College News Volume V. No. 28 BRYN MAWR, PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 14, 1919 Price 5 Cents PRESIDENT THOMAS ANNOUNCES RISE IN BOARD AND ROOM-RENT College Has Deficit of $30,000 "The price of board next year will have to be raised from $225 to $300 to meet the rising cost of food," President Thomas announced in Chapel Monday. This increase is necessary to prevent a $30,000 deficit which the college will in- cur this year in spite of the emergency fees. This year's emergency fee of $100, in- creased from the $50 fee of 1917-18, was expected to meet any possible rise in the prices of coal, provisions, and wages, she continued, but it has proved wholly in- adequate as all three have soared far above maximum estimates. The emer- gency fee will be lndispensible next year for teaching-salaries, since the income from the endowment funds in addition to tuition fees will not even meet academic expenses. "The teaching salaries have risen only ten per cent, that is, they will amount to only $16,000 more next year than In 1914," said President Thomas, "while the cost of living has increased much more than ten per cent. The salaries ought to be doubled if there �were money with which to do it." Will Raise Room-rent "If means are not provided with which to meet the $85,000 deficit estimated in the budget for 1919-1920, it may be neces- sary in a few years to close the college," she added. "This year's deficit is due to the fact that the college table and the running of the college halls have cost more than the students pay. The emer- gency fees will cover $35,000 of this next year's deficit, but it will not be possible to meet the remaining $50,000. unless full cost is charged for table board, and the rent for some rooms is raised. The col- lege has therefore been compelled to raise the rent of the larger double and single suites in each hall $50. and in special cases a little more than $50. All graduate rooms will be increased from their present price of $50 to $100. Presi- dent Thomas is meeting all the students h acted by this increase and asking them to let her know of cases where the in- crease works special hardship. Eighty Vacancies for Freshmen "One hundred and eighty sub-Freshmen have applied for residence next year." an- nounced President Thomas finally, "and there will be only eighty vacancies left for them." BRYN MAWR TO BELONG TO TEACHERS' PEN8ION ASSOCIATION Bryn Mawr has set aside $200,000 from the Russell Sage Fund to belong to the Teachers' Life Insurance and Annuity As- sociation or to some other pension asso- ciation, as the result of a vote of the Board of Trustees. The salaries of five full professors will also be increased $1000. from a sum of $112,000. to be called the Margaret Olivia Sage Professor- ship Fund, it was voted at the same meet- ing. The professors, recommended by the full professors of the college, will be elected by the trustee's executive com- mittee. Virginia Litchfleld '17 la a Reconstruc- tion Aide In France.

The number of subscribers, one hun- dred and eighty-two, was small compared with the two hundred and fifty-two sub- scribers to the third Liberty Loan of last year. Several $500 subscriptions were re- ceived, however, and two large student subscriptions of $4000 and $1000 swelled the total. Twenty-one members of the faculty and staff, thirteen alumnas and outsiders, pi actically 100 per cent of the men on the grounds, and two maids bought bonds KAISER OH; NED TO BE HANGED BY BRYN MAWR JURY Found Guilty of Murder, Treaty-breaking and Piracy William the Kaiser was found guilty of murder, treaty-breaking and piracy, and sentenced "to be, hanged until he Is dead," according to the verdict of Judge William Roy Smith, pronounced after a trial held by the students of the Inter- national Law class on Wednesday, the anniversary of the sinking of the Lusi- tanla. Dr. Fenwick was lawyer for the defense. The Jury consisted of Miss Schenk, Dr. Hoppin. Mrs. Chew. Jr.. Miss Swin- dler. Miss Riddell, Dr. Sanders, Dr. Barnes. Dr. Llngelbach. Dr. Rea, Miss Abby Kirk, Miss Bascom, Miss Dorado and M. O'N. Hawkins '19. After some discussion, in which the at- torney for the defense asked Dr. Hoppin, foreman of the Jury, if he was prepared to look at the question with an open mind and not be prejudiced by the fact that the defendant is a man with a family of five children, M. L. Thurman, prosecuting at- torney from Ohio, stated her case. "The Kaiser is liable to criminal pun- ishment, convicted by the consensus of the world's opinion, but lie must be tried on legal grounds. No law in existence is entirely applicable, but the court in:iy convict by means of combining certain codes of municipal and international laws and, according to the German constitution, the Kaiser and German national laws and, according to the Ger- man constitution, the Kaiser and German people are in a position of master and servant, therefore the Kaiser is respon sible for the acts of the army under the master and servant clause of municipal law. Proves "William" a Pirate According to Lawyer Hollis from Illi- nois. "William is an outlaw and a pirate, if. as my colleague has proved, he is re- sponsible for the acts of his subordinates. Marie Antoinette and Charles the First were brought to the bar of Justice. Why not William? The case of Lawyer Lanier of New York depended mostly on the testimony, given by eyewitnesses and photographs, to the murders and crimes the Germans committed. State of Prieon Camps Another Crime "The International law which states that prisoners must be humanely treated was broken again and again." said Law yea- Longacra of Pennsylvania. "The filth, suffocation and lack of room of the prison camps was well known to the Ger- man authorities and probably planned." lawyer Tyler of Pennsylvania went on (i ontlnued on page 5.) RUSSIAN CHOIR QUARTET TO SING IN CLOISTERS The quartet of the Russian Cathedral Choir, assisted by the Balalaika Orches- tra, will j?ive a conceit in the cloisters on Wednesday, June 4. at eight o'clock. The program will include Russian and Slavonic folk-songs, and songs and arias by Russian composers. The cathedral quartet has been called "the most unique organization of Its kind" by a musical Journal, which added, "the voices are almost phenomenal." The accompanying Balalaika is the national musical Instrument of Russia, that was the prayer drum before the altars of the pagan gods PLANS FOR STUDENT BUILDING TAKE ON DEFINITE SHAPE Contracts May Be Given in Early Summer and Ground Broken Before Fall Contracts for the Student Building will probably be given out this summer before President Thomas goes abroad, in order that work on the building may be under way in the fall, according to a statement made by F. Day '19, chairman of the Stu- dent Building Committee, at a meeting of the Undergraduate Association yesterday. Before contracts can be Issued the $25,000 fund now in the hands of the trustees must be raised to $50,000. An Alumna; committee for canvassing and publicity work among the Alumnip is be- ing appointed, and a formal canvass of the undergraduates is being taken by means of pledge slips. The college architect, Mr. De Forrest, in co-operation with a Boston theatrical architect, is at present at work on plans for the building. Suggestions drawn up by the Student Building Committee after visiting the student buildings and thea- tres of other colleges have been for- warded to the architects. A pamphlet containing the final plans for the building will be issued before Commencement. INFORMATION PRIZE TO F. DAY D.

General good acting and singing, together with skillful manage ment of large numbers of people on the stage Kave the performances a finish which has not been equalled for several years by the College Glee Club. $638 was taken in at the two performances, part of which will go to the Service Corps, after the expenses have been paid. The pirates saag the opening chorus. "Pour. O king, the pirate sherry," with great enthusiasm and held the audience from the beginning. The brilliant colors of the costumes were strikingly effective against the blue sea of the coast of Corn- wall. A. Thormlike '19, towering over her crew. looked the part of the pirate chief "who sank a few more ships, 'tis true, than a well-bred mortal ought to do." M. Foot '21. as Ruth, Frederic's faithful nurse, was truly piratical. The chorus of vivacious Kngllsh girls. In their dainty organdie dresses and black bodiees. when caught by Frederic in an amusing situation, sang and danced in excellent time and made an unusually attractive scene. Mr. Fox, the coach, de- clared that he had seen no professional chorus catch so well Hie spirit of the act. As Mabel, the General's youngest daugh- ter, L Grim '22 sang with a true and per- fectly controlled voice and looked charm- ing In spite of a dress which was inap- propriate beside the picturesque costumes Of her sisters. F. Fuller '19. acting the part of the hero, managed a rich con- tralto voice well and put personality Into the rather colorless character of the slave of duty. The most convincing act- ing was done by H. Huntting '19, who, in her interpretation of General Stanley, re- called "Lord Loam" of the "Admirable Crlchton," and was indeed "the very pat- tern of a model major-general." With martial tread and spirited manner the Policemen's chorus made the most of an amusing and clever scene. The ser- geant of police, J. Peabody '19, with red side-whiskers and the pink rose in his buttonhole, impersonated an "Hingllah" Bobby humorously and naturally. The scenery of the second act was rather characterless until brightened up by the costumes of the pirate band. The production showed careful training and practice, which was largely due to H.

Typically when I write the Music Monday blogs I am writing about artists that I can't stop listening to and really like. This Music Monday I thought I would talk about someone who I thought I would never listen to again after one song, but now keep finding more and more songs that I can't stop listening to.
The artist that I am talking about is Alex Clare. After his song "Too Close" hit the airwaves this past year I thought I would never listen to anything else by him, because of how overplayed it was. That all changed the other day when I was listening to 8tracks and an acoustic version of an Etta James cover of Damn Your Eyes came on. I had no idea it was Alex Clare and ended up loving his rendition of it. The reason why I decided to write this blog is because 5 minutes ago I found another song on 8tracks that I like. Who was it by? Alex Clare. I'm starting to think Alex Clare is haunting me now, because I said I would never listen to him again.
The point is for this Music Monday, don't judge an artist by their first single. Their CD could actually be a really well developed tone of amazing beats and really good lyrics that you would never know about. Below is the two songs from Alex Clare that I can't stop listening to, but I'm sure the more I listen to his album the more I will find.

Graham Nash Worried About David Crosby's Reaction To Memoir
Wednesday, September 25, 2013
Graham Nash says that he was concerned about how David Crosby would deal with his warts and all portrayal in Nash's newly published autobiography, Wild Takes: A Rock & Roll Life. Nash explained to Billboard: "The one person I was most worried about the reaction was Crosby. I really didn't care to think about all the sh** that Crosby put me through. You just have to deal with it and let it go. But it's all still in my mind, sharp as a needle. So I was concerned about what he thought, but he called me and said, 'I read it. Everything is true, everything you said is how it was. I did that. I did put you guys through all that madness.' So Crosby was totally fine with it, which pleased me. I care deeply about he thinks."
Nash revealed to The San Francisco Chronicle that upon reading the galleys of the book, he was impressed not only by the writing, but of the life he's lived: "I got to the end of the manuscript and I went, 'Wow, I wish I was him.' I'm not crazy about looking backward. It's done. It's gone. But I was forced to look backward to do this book. It's been an incredible life, and it continues to be. . . The truth is, I have a long way to go. If the great spirit of the universe allows me to be here for a few more years, I'll pack as much as I can into it."
Graham Nash admitted that although he loves recording and performing with Stephen Stills and Neil Young, he finds it easiest working as a duo with David Crosby: "There's something about me and David -- we just get on with the job. It's always a f***ing juggling job with David and Stephen, and David and Stephen and Neil. It's different -- y'know, there's things in the way, there's more egos in the way -- and I enjoy it, but it's just a much more difficult thing."
Nash's memoir doesn't just start with his late-'60s, early-'70's heyday with Crosby, Stills, & Nash -- but delves in deep with his bones making tenure in one of the British Invasion's most important and ground-breaking bands, the Hollies: "I'm old enough now to realize and look at my history so far. The Hollies were so influential in the early-'60s through the '60s. Very, very, influential. We were probably one of the very first bands to ever use three-part harmony constantly. I mean, even the Beatles were two-part most of the time. The Hollies were a fabulous band. Maybe they weren't 'cool,' but by the time I'd left we'd had 18 Top Ten hits. I mean, how many do the Kinks have? How many did everybody else have that's in (the Rock Hall)? I think the Hollies deserve to be in there."

Every Shoe Tells a Story at AMC
April 10, 2013
Anna Maria College announces that students under the guidance of Professor Tracy Casey will present the event, "Every Shoe Tells a Story, Breaking the Silence to End Child Abuse," on Thursday, April 18, 2013 on the College's campus in Paxton, MA. The goal of the initiative is to help in the prevention of family and domestic violence by providing information on a variety of services designed to strengthen families and individuals through awareness, education and other learning experiences. As part of the program, students will engage the Anna Maria campus in activities regarding prevention and conflict management skills, as well as the virtues of good citizenship, civility, and nonviolence.
"Education, awareness and advocacy are the keys for prevention for any kind of abuse," shares Ms. Casey. "It's important to break the silence so that victims will come forward because we live in a society where it's not always conducive for people to tell their story, and without telling their stories, it's not helping them with the healing process and breaking the cycle of violence."
Participants in the initiative plan to set-up a presentation of symbolically-worn children's shoes amongst thought-provoking images, facts and statistics in the heavily pedestrian AMC campus rotary with the goal of calling attention to the commonly overlooked needs of those too often deprived a voice of their own. A resource table in the Bishop Flanagan Campus Center will also be set up from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. to provide students with useful resources and information on issues ranging from child abuse, sexual assault, LGBTQ discrimination, domestic violence and bullying. Contact information for available resources will also be available.

Sometimes you don't want mimosas and oeufs cocottes for breakfast. You just want hearty food, full flavours and lots and lots of coffee. If that's the case, you want to go to the Dutch Wooden Shoe Cafe. Started by the DeDutch people it is the same idea but more casual, more interesting and frankly just better.
Their specialty is still pannekoeken,large pancakes with sweet or savoury filler or toppings and at the Wooden Shoe they have 34 kinds of specialty pannekoeks ranging from Indonesian-inspired Nasi Goreng to traditional Dutch Boeren (farmer's) or chocolate and fruit, plus any variety of DIY.
My favorites seem to be the savoury ones. Curry has been repeated many times, as well as speck and anything with Hollandaise.
It's a homey place. Coffee comes in endless rounds, served in familiar Far Side and Christmas mugs. The walls are decorated with all kinds of ephemera collected over the years – wooden shoes, beer mugs, reminders that diners over 80 get free pannekoeks on Saturdays and many photos of happy customers. It's a good way to start the day.

Goliath Tiger Fish
Photograph courtesy Todd Wendel/National Geographic Television
February 13, 2009--Goliath tiger fish, such as the one seen above, are among the uniquely adapted "monster fish" of the Congo River, which winds through several African countries (goliath tiger fish video).
(Learn more about the National Geographic Channel show Explorer: Monster Fish of the Congo.)
A recent, unprecedented river run on the Congo yielded a raft of new discoveries, including different species--some potentially new--in nearly every nook and cranny, scientists announced this week.
The river was also found to be possibly the world's deepest, and its extraordinary changes in depths and currents help explain why it's such a hotbed of fish diversity.
"What we're seeing here is kind of evolution on steroids," said team leader Melanie Stiassny, a fish biologist at the American Museum of Natural History. Stiassny, a member of the National Geographic Society's Conservation Trust, was among the marine and evolutionary biologists, hydrologists, and kayakers who conducted the exhaustive research in summer 2008.

Freshwater Elephant Fish

The Congo's freshwater elephant fish, such as the one seen above, use their long snouts to sift through river bottom sediments for food--another example of the Congo as a hotbed of evolution.
The fast currents and raucous rapids of the lower river create physical barriers that smaller fish cannot cross, said fish biologist Melanie Stiassny, who led a 2008 expedition on the Congo. At some points, the river flows more than a million cubic feet (28,000 cubic meters) a second--enough to fill more than 800 Olympic-size swimming pools every minute.
Such barriers isolate fish populations, and over time they become more and more distinct from one another, eventually evolving into new species.
During a survey of Congo fish, Stiassny found seemingly different species just a few hundred meters apart. Some had developed flatter bodies to avoid being pulled by the current, for example. Likewise, living in a low-visibility, sediment-filled stretch of the river, the African electric catfish had evolved the ability to stun nearby prey with up to 350 volts of electricity.
Stiassny and her colleagues took DNA samples, which should allow them to determine how many new and different species they have found in the Congo River.

Down the Congo

Despite calmer stretches like the one photographed above in summer 2008, the Congo is the world's highest-volume white-water river, according to Trip Jennings, a National Geographic Expeditions Council grantee.
As part of a 2008 expedition, Jennings and his team of kayakers navigated the churning river's powerful whirlpools.
"The six of us were tossed about like pool toys in a hurricane," Jennings said. "Giant whirlpools threatening to suck us under spawned without warning, and oceanlike breaking waves crashed on us from all sides."
The kayakers started in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's capital city of Kinshasa and ended 85 miles (137 kilometers) downstream in Pioka--marking the first time this stretch of the river had been run successfully.
Their boats were equipped with echo sounders to collect data on the river's depth, revealing that the Congo may be the world's deepest river--one section reached a record 755 feet (230 meters).February 13, 2009

The goliath tiger fish, said to grow up to 150 pounds (68 kilograms), may be able to overcome barriers in the tumultuous and turbid Congo River that smaller fish cannot.
During a 2008 expedition on the Congo, scientists looked for the "monster" fish upstream and down, to see how far it could travel.
The DNA samples the team collected will help determine if tiger fish found in different parts of the river have morphed into separate species.
The Congo's fish diversity thrilled the scientists. "What we're talking about here is like a species factory--it's a species pump," team leader Melanie Stiassny told National Geographic Television & Film.
"If Darwin had come here, I think we would have had the theory of evolution published a lot sooner."

POSTED: Monday, November 12, 2012 - 6:48pm
UPDATED: Monday, November 12, 2012 - 9:39pm
Near Starvation Diet for "Les Mis" Role
(CNN) -- As she celebrates her 30th birthday Monday, Anne Hathaway's feeling pretty satisfied.
She may be 25 pounds lighter and without a cascading mane -- hair and body fat being two things she shed for her role in Tom Hooper's "Les Misérables" - but she's married her "true love," Adam Shulman, and is set to premiere Christmas Day in the role of her dreams with "Les Mis."
And when Hathaway says "true love," as the actress tells Vogue in its new issue, she means it: "the full-on romantic, till-death-do-us-part real deal."
The interview was conducted before her November 12 birthday, but Hathaway was already easing into the big 3-0 with glee.
"I'm turning 30, and - I hope this isn't obnoxious to say - I feel prettier, and much more myself," she says. "I guess I just feel much more satisfied with less now."
It's a good thing she was able to adopt that outlook, because playing the role of Fantine in "Les Mis" demanded that the actress first drop 10 pounds, and then another 15 in two weeks. She had to stick to what Vogue describes as a "near-starvation diet" made up of "two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste" per day.
"I had to be obsessive about it - the idea was to look near death," she tells the magazine. "Looking back on the whole experience - and I don't judge it in any way - it was definitely a little nuts. It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that's who Fantine is anyway."
As one can imagine, that devotion to becoming her character did leave Hathaway with some reality re-entry issues.
"I was in such a state of deprivation - physical and emotional. When I got home, I couldn't react to the chaos of the world without being overwhelmed. It took me weeks till I felt like myself again," Hathaway says. But that's where her now-husband stepped in.
"The first time I really threw everything into a part, which was when I did 'Rachel Getting Married,' there was no one waiting for me when I got back. This time, Adam was there," she recalls. "He gets what I do and who I am and supports me in it, and that's pretty awesome."

Cyanosis is a bluish color to the skin or mucus membranes that is usually due to a lack of oxygen in the blood.
Lips - bluish; Fingernails - bluish; Cyanosis; Bluish lips and fingernails; Bluish skin
Red blood cells provide oxygen to body tissues. Most of the time, almost all red blood cells in the arteries carry a full supply of oxygen. These blood cells are bright red and the skin has a pinkish or red hue.
Blood that has lost its oxygen is dark bluish-red. People whose blood is low in oxygen tend to have a bluish color to their skin, called cyanosis.
Depending on the cause, cyanosis may develop suddenly, along with shortness of breath and other symptoms.
Cyanosis that is caused by long-term heart or lung problems may develop slowly. Symptoms may be present, but are often not severe.
When oxygen levels have dropped only a small amount, cyanosis may be hard to detect.
In dark-skinned people, cyanosis may be easier to see in the mucus membranes (lips, gums, around the eyes) and nails.
Cyanosis that is seen in only one part of the body may be due to:
Most cyanosis occurs because of a lack of oxygen in the blood. This can be caused by the following problems.
Problems with the lungs:
Problems with the airways leading to the lungs:
Problems with the heart:
Other problems:
For cyanosis caused by exposure to cold or Raynaud phenomenon, dress warmly when going outside or stay in a well-heated room.
Bluish skin (cyanosis) can be a sign of many serious medical problems. Call or visit your health care provider.
For adults, call your doctor or 911 if you have bluish skin and:
For children, call the doctor or 911 if your child has bluish skin and:
Your health care provider will perform a physical examination, which includes listening to your breathing and heart sounds. In emergency situations (such as shock ), you will be stabilized first.
Medical history questions may include:
Tests that may be performed include:
For shortness of breath and cyanosis, you may receive oxygen.
