Doñana National Park, Spain
Semi-stabilised coastal dunes, Donana National Park. @ C.Michael Hogan
Doñana National Park is a World Heritage site in Spain located at 36°48'-37°08'N, and 6°16'-6°34'W. The Coto de Doñana in Andalucia is Europe's largest sanctuary for migrating birds. It is a vast coastal marshland, productive, well preserved and inaccessible where the River Guadalquivir meets the Atlantic Ocean, notable for the great diversity of its biotopes: beaches, swamps, lagoons, fixed and moving dunes, pine and cork oak woodland and heath. The marshes host four threatened bird species, one of the biggest heronries in the Mediterranean, more than 500,000 wintering waterfowl and millions of migrant birds. Threats to the site include drought, over-extraction and agricultural contamination of water, land reclamation and tourism.

Physical Features
Coto Doñaña is a vast undeveloped coastal marshland, cut off from the Atlantic by extensive dunes and subject to seasonal variations in water level and salinity, the dry plain of summer becoming a wide shallow lake in winter. It overlies quaternary deposits mainly of sand sheets. It is composed of three main areas: marsh, dunes and heath. Almost half the reserve area is formed of marismas - freshwater marshes on accumulated clayey silt - where the Guadalquivir River delta has been deflected and ponded by a coastal sand spit (~27,000 ha). These have been reduced by more than 80% over the past century. More than half the water used to come from the Guadiamar river which runs through the center of the marshes, but rainfall is now the chief source. The water table perched near the surface creates the great {C}biological richness of the Park. Low-lying areas are filled with deep organic matter and the clay is rich in {C}calcium and magnesium. The marshes are fed by the Arroyo de la Madre de las Marismas del Rocio which flows parallel with the coastal dunes, and by the Guadiamar river. There are also flowing interfluves (caños) carved by natural drainage, {C}depressions which hold wet season lagoons (lucios) and hollows with upwelling groundwater (ojos), which form a mosaic of microhabitats: pools, streams, {C}mudflats, reedbeds, banks and islands.
The coastal dunes, each about two kilometers long by 200 meters across, and up to 40 m high, parallel the coast for 25 km in four rows 3-5 km wide. The seaward dunes are mobile, moving from 4-6 m a year before the southwesterly winds, burying pine woods as they go. Their area is about 7,000 ha. The inland dunes (cotos or matorral) are stabilised by scrub vegetation and in the hollows (corrales) between them are lagoons and marshy areas. The heathland (vera) which forms a narrow ecotone between the dunes and the marsh and also covers the land furthest from the Guadalquiver, is a series of low ridges and hollows. This is the most stable and biologically rich area of the Park. The National Park is adjoined by Natural Park (56,250 ha) and Natural Landscape (1,336 ha) areas on private or municipal land. These are located along the west coast, two in the north and two on the banks of the Guadalquivir.
The climate is Mediterranean moderated by the ocean, with warm dry summers and cool wet winters. The mean annual temperature is 17 degrees Celsius (°C): July and August average 23.5°, December and January average 9.3°. The mean annual precipitation is 525 millimeters (mm), concentrated in the winter, peaking between 90-110 mm in December.
There are four main types of vegetation: marshland/aquatic, salt-tolerant, open forest and heathland. The marsh vegetation depends on the degree of soil salinity and the duration of flooding. The higher zones support halophytes such as glasswort Salicornia ramossissima with seablite Suaeda sp. and Arthrocnemum perenne. The seasonally flooded hollows are covered with sea clubrush Scirpus maritimus, bulrush Schoenoplectus lacustris, rushes Juncus sp. and crowfoot Ranunculus baudotii. Freshwater communities are similar to Phragmitea, Littorelletea and Potametea of Atlantic-European type. Brackish water swamps have communities similar to Spartinetea, Artrocnemetea and Ruppietea of an arid North African type.
Plant communities on the dunes also have Atlantic-North African affinities and a notable degree of endemism. The mobile outer dunes are sparsely vegetated with marram grass Ammophila arenaria, and camarina Corema album, with buckthorn-juniper Rhamno-Juniperetum macrocarpas communities The dry dunes inland have Rhamno-Juniperetum sophora communities. On humid pseudoglei sands the vegetation includes plantations of cork oak Quercus suber, which carry large heronries, with olive Olea europea, poplars Populus spp., fig with ash Ficario-Fraxinetum angustifoliae and vine with willow Viti-Salicetum atrocinerae communities.
The heathland (matorral) vegetation varies with the availability of water. In the damp hollows and interdunal valleys (Monte Negro) tree heather Erica scoparia and heath E. ciliaris grow, succeeding cork oak Quercus suber and strawberry trees Arbutus unedo. On the drier ridges (Monte Blanco), Halimium commutatum and H.halimifolium, rosemary Rosmarinus officinalis, lavender Lavandula stoechas, rockrose Cistus sp. and thymeThymus tomentosa grow with introduced stone pine Pinus pinea and Eucalyptus sp. Some 750 species of plants have been identified including two species new to science and at least 45 new to Europe. Four strictly protected species, all national endemics, occur: Linaria tursica (VU), Micropyropsis tuberosa (VU), Gaudinia hispanica (VU), and Vulpia fontquerana (EN).
The {C}fauna of Doñana is mostly Mediterranean with a few north African and northern European species. The marismas flood to 30 centimeters (cm) for six months creating the most important wintering area for waterfowl in the peninsula, and ideal conditions for large flocks of migrating birds; the dune scrub (matorralor cotos) edging the marshes is rich in mammals.
Doñana has a very rich and diverse {C}avifauna, with a total of over 360 {C}species of resident and migratory {C}birds. The marsh lies on the main western Europe - west Africa migratory flyway and forms a bottleneck through which some six million birds pass each year. It is also essential winter habitat for up to 500,000 overwintering ducks and waterbirds such as teal Anas crecca (160,000), wigeon Anas Penelope (100,000), greylag goose Anser anser (100,000), most of Spain's herons, white stork Ciconia ciconia, stone-curlew Burhinus oedicnemus and slender-billed gull Larus genei. Important breeding wetland species include marbled teal Marmaronetta angustirostris (VU,35), white-headed duck Oxyura leucocephala (EN,400, which nest mainly in artificial ponds in surrounding areas), white-eyed pochard Aythya niroca (VU), purple gallinule Porphyrio porphyrio and crested coot Fulica cristata. It is also a spring nesting area for Mediterranean and African birds including spoonbill Platalea leucorodia (1100) and the shallow lagoons become a feeding place for up to 10,000 greater flamingo Phoenicopterus ruber which during wet spells also nest in the area.
Occasionally seen are glossy ibis Plegadis falcinellis, rednecked nightjar Caprimulgus ruficollis, little buttontail Turnix sylvatica, and azure-winged magpie Cyanopico cyanus. Raptors amongst the stabilised sands include 15 breeding pairs (about a tenth of the world's population) of the Spanish imperial eagle Aquila heliaca adalberti (VU), black vulture Aegypius monachus, short-toed eagle Circaetus gallicus, booted eagle Hieraaetus pennatus, buzzard Buteo buteo, black kite Milvus migrans, black-shouldered kite Elanus caeruleus, red kite M. milvus, and hobby Falco subbuteo.
The scrubland (cotos) and {C}heathland ecotone (vera) are the richest habitats for most {C}animals apart from waterbirds. Identified {C}vertebrates include 30 mammals, 12 amphibians, 19 reptiles and 20 {C}fishes, four of them introduced. The main mammals are Mediterranean horseshoe bat Rhinolophis euryale (VU), lesser horseshoe bat Rhinolophis hipposideros (VU), hare Lepus capensis, rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, red fox Vulpes vulpes, polecat Putorius putorius, weasel Mustela nivalis, badger Meles meles, otter Lutra lutra (VU), small-spotted genet Genetta genetta, Egyptian mongoose Herpestes ichneumon, wild cat Felis silvestris, wild boar Sus scrofa, fallow deer Dama dama and red deer Cervus elaphus. The park contains a fast diminishing population of about 30 of the {C}threatened Spanish lynx Lynx pardina (CR), but measures have been taken to {C}preserve them. Reptiles, which are found especially in the dunes, include spur-thighed tortoise Testudo graeca (VU), Lataste's viper Vipera lastasti gaditana and spiny-footed lizard Acanthodactylus erythrurus. Common fish are carp Cyprinus carpio and eel Anguilla anguilla; a threatened species is the Spanish killifish Aphanius iberus.
Cultural Heritage
Since 1262 Doñana has been the favorite hunting reserve of Spanish kings - Alfonso X, Ferdinand II, Charles V, Philip II, Philip IV, Philip V and Alfonso XIII. It was granted to the Dukes of Medina Sidonia in 1300 who preserved it as a hunting park for 500 years. One duchess, Doña Ana, who lived there, is supposed to have given the area her name. El Palacio de Doñana was once owned by the Duchess of Alba where she was painted by Goya. From 1737, stone pines were planted widely, but the clearance of coastal junipers later in the century destabilized the sand dunes which became mobile.
Local Human Population
Wood gathering, charcoal production, cattle-grazing, beekeeping and fish farming occur within the Park and twenty-five families, mostly park staff, live inside it. Irrigated rice farming and market gardening in the surrounding area are a constant problem, as are adjacent tourist developments at Matalascañas which was founded in 1967, and now attracts 30-40,000 visitors each summer. There is also a religious festival at El Rocio, increasingly under the control of the Park administration to safeguard conservation, which brings large crowds of pilgrims every spring.
Visitors and Visitor Facilities
Entrance is free, but requires a permit and a professional guide. There are two well equipped visitors' centers at El Rocio and El Acebuche which receive 250,000 visitors a year and an {C}{C}{C}ethnological museum in the Palacio Acebron. There are two other visitors' centers: on the north edge (Valverde) and in Sanlucar (Ice Factory). There is a well-developed system of guided tours, observation points, bird hides and marked trails. Services are provided by a local cooperative. Education materials include student and teachers' guides, displays, and trained teachers for visiting school parties. Two excursions in 4WD vehicles, with a maximum of 125 people per trip, are allowed each day.
Scientific Research and Research Facilities
Research in the Park is of international scientific importance. {C}Ornithological research has been done since the 1950s and studies have since been carried out on {C}vertebrate {C}zoology, {C}botany, ecology, {C}plant ecology, {C}entomology, {C}limnology, geography, {C}ethology, pesticides and {C}diseases. Current research is concerned with certain endangered species, ecological interactions and population dynamics, on contamination of the {C}water draining into the park, studies of the regeneration of the park's water system and continual monitoring of animals and conditions. The scientific research is coordinated by the director of the Doñana Biological Station, where there is accommodation for 12 scientists and many facilities. The station is dependent on the Council of Scientific Research (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC) headquartered in Seville. A complete list is available of the wide range of researches carried out and proposals presented from 1988 on is given in the annual reports of the CSIC.
Conservation Value
The site is the most important wetland in Spain and one of the largest and best-known wetlands in Europe, because of its wide range of habitats which are productive, inaccessible and well preserved. It is particularly remarkable for its large breeding colonies, the millions of wintering waterbirds, and for harboring threatened species such as imperial eagle and purple gallinule. It is the last tract of relatively undisturbed marsh in the Guadalquivir delta, includes a long stretch of undeveloped coastline, and protects one of the few mobile dune systems found on the Iberian peninsula.
Conservation Management
The National Park is managed with the assistance of a committee of 32 stakeholders (Patronato) which includes local landowners, farmers and conservationists. It is also subject to a wide range of organizations and interest groups. It is protected by law from hunting, drainage, forestry plantation and excessive tourist exploitation. Zoning was laid down in the 1991 management plan. This includes Special Use zones with buildings, park facilities, hamlets etc (173 ha); Recreation and Interpretative zone with visitors centers and traditional trails (382 ha); Intermediate Restricted zone surrounding visitors' centers where tourists may move around freely (100 ha); Managed Nature Reserves and closed Scientific Zone, with access restricted to park managers and staff, researchers, private owners, their staff, and authorized people (50,065 ha).
Management plans exist for the declining populations of the Spanish lynx and the imperial eagle. Dispersing young male lynx are vulnerable to road kills: four lynx were killed in March 2002 alone. WWF Spain/ADENA has urged closure of new roads, the restoration of rabbit populations and potential habitats, lynx-friendly management on local estates, monitoring and captive breeding. In March 2002 the state launched an E8 million initiative to save the Iberian lynx. Plantations of exotic species are gradually being converted to indigenous habitats. A water management plan was approved in 1994. In 1998 the E83.5 million landscape regeneration project Doñana 2005 was launched to restore the marshland channels, recover filled marshlands, treat the wastewater of El Rocio, restore the permeability of the marsh with the Guadalquivir estuary and (the Green Corridor program) create a green corridor between Donana and the Sierra Morena, from which the Guadiamar river flows. This is a basin-wide plan unlike previous more limited schemes and was already half completed in 2002 but is progressing slowly.
Management Constraints
The seasonal wet and dry cycle is vulnerable to the failure of winter rains which severely affects the ecosystem. There were bad droughts in 1980-1 and at the beginning of the 1990s. However, such dry periods are natural and have occurred many times during the last two centuries. More serious is contamination by agricultural runoff upstream caused by cattle, nitrogenous fertilizers and the uncontrolled use of pesticides used to rid ricefields of the introduced American crayfish Procamburus clarkii though a die-off of some 30,000 birds in 1986 may have been due to botulism caused by stagnant water. More seriously, continued land reclamation for ricefields, orchards, salt works and fish farms, water extraction for agricultural development and irrigation schemes north of the park borders have modified the hydraulic regime of the marshes. This has diverted natural canals that used to bring water to the Doñana marshes which may eventually dry up, and will create a build-up of salt in the soil unless the over-exploited aquifers are replenished. A project to build a canal which would partially restore the former hydrological system has been considered. Illegal water extraction and pollution from a proposed expansion of the port of Seville may also effect conservation in the area.
Increased tourist development near the park, poaching, illegal fishing, particularly for crayfish and crabs, which disturbs the birds in the breeding season, and over-grazing by domestic livestock are also management problems. Concerns such as these led to the inclusion in 1990 of the Doñana National Park in the Montreux Record of Ramsar sites requiring priority attention because of the potential for change in their ecological character. In the same year the Ramsar Convention Conference recommended (C.4.9.1) actions that the Spanish Government and regional authorities could take. In the late 1980s and early 1990s the park was to be the setting for a proposed 32,000-bed holiday resort, Costa Doñana, on its borders north of Matalascañas. The development was successfully contested and stopped by environmentalists, but this deeply antagonized some local people because of the loss of tourist revenue.
In April 1998 the park was drastically threatened by 6 million tonnes of heavy metal contaminated muds from an impoundment at Aznalcollar iron pyrites mine, 40 km north of the park, which broke through the dam and entered the Guadiamar River. Urgent measures diverted the flow from the park, but the Guadiamar valley farmland and some coastal shrimp and fish farms were poisoned and restoration is slow. The valley is recovering but acid water still escapes and the river's fish have not yet reappeared. The Park is managed by ICONA and CSIC, but with too few staff to prevent extensive poaching. The surrounding areas are managed by the Instituto Andaluz de Reforma Agraria and the Agencia del Medio Ambiente de la Junta de Andalucía. There is little cooperation between these bodies (ADENA/ WWF,n.d.). A need to integrate land use planning for the {C}irrigation and construction projects of the surrounding area in order to minimize their impacts on the {C}protected area was recorded in the {C}UNESCO, 2002 WHC Report.
In 1995 there was a total of 178 staff, managed by a Director-Conservador. Of these, 79 were permanent employees and the rest seasonal workers. In 1995 staff were deployed in five departments: {C}conservation (11), works (42), public services (33), guards (77), and administration. In addition, there is a {C}EU advisor.
The average annual budget for the period 1990-1995 was 1,400 million pesetas (US$ 11,000,000). However, between 1998 and 2005, € 83.5 million is being spent on the Doñana 2005 redevelopment projects.

Authorities say the driver was following GPS directions on a back road and had to be rescued by the Lebanon Rescue Department this morning after the car became submerged in water.
LEBANON, Maine (AP) _ Police say a motorist following GPS directions took a road less traveled and ended up having to be rescued after his car became submerged in water.
Officials say the motorist had to climb on top of his 2005 Pontiac Grand Am to await rescue by the Lebanon Rescue Department Friday morning. Lebanon Rescue Crew Chief Mike Sabine used his truck to back up to the car, allowing the driver to jump to safety.
Assistant Chief Jason Cole says motorists should never try to cross a flooded road.
Cole says there have been five cases in the past few years of motorists ending up in the same predicament. He says the road is listed on GPS, but that it's not maintained by the town.

"Sustainability isn't just a buzzword, it's a new paradigm to running a smart, forward-thinking business. The carbon offset of our Bauma exhibit is consistent with the eco-minded practices we use in our factories and offices around the world every day. Our long-term goal is to help customers be more sustainable in the industries in which they work," said Paolo Fellin, Vice President of EAME Distribution. "It's our responsibility to help set the example through actions like this offset."
Carbonfund.org and Caterpillar determined emissions sources and totals from the company's exhibit at Bauma. The emissions being offset come from transportation of staff and equipment, electricity and paper use, lodging, and meals. All carpet, wood, metal, glass, cardboard and paper will be sorted and recycled to minimize waste when the stand is dismantled.
Carbon offsets represent the reduction of greenhouse gases in one location - such as through a project - to offset emissions produced in another - the Caterpillar Zeppelin Bauma exhibit. The project that will be used to offset the exhibit captures methane, a greenhouse gas about 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide, from a decommissioned coal mine in Luenen-Brambauer, Germany. The project has been certified to the internationally accepted Verified Carbon Standard (VCS).
Another public benefit of the carbon offset project is that it will generate renewable electricity for the power grid. The methane leaking from the decomissioned mine has a concentration of 60 percent and is therefore well suited for power generation. A Caterpillar 3516TA 1.043 MWEL genset is installed to generate the electricity.
Carbonfund.org President Eric Carlson said, "We are excited to partner with Caterpillar to help the international company reduce its carbon footprint and attain its sustainability goals. Supporting methane capture and clean power generation helps fight climate change while investing in a clean energy future."

What's it like to take graduate courses at the "Harvard" of China?
Just ask Matt McFetridge '12, who is settling into his second month of graduate studies in the international relations program at Tsinghua University (pronounced "Ching-wah") in Beijing, China.
"I'm studying with some of the foremost scholars on U.S.-China relations," said the Penn Yan native in a recent email interview.
In 2010, McFetridge spent the fall semester as an exchange student at Yunnan University of Finance and Economics (YUFE) in Kunming, one of Keuka's partner universities.
That experience set him on a new course: to incorporate connections to China into his political science and history degree, and future career. Exposure to the Chinese language and the city that serves as hub of China's foreign relations could give him an edge if he pursues a doctoral program in history or works as an analyst, perhaps with the government or a think tank.
"I love the program, I love the school, and the intellectual community here is equally impressive," he wrote. "It's such a difference between Keuka where I was one of 1,000. Here, I am one of 31 in my cohort surrounded by 30,000 of the best minds from China and abroad."

A legislative committee is seeking to find out what happened with $157,000 of Turnpike Authority money that officials have said was spent on gift cards donated to various organizations.
The former head of the Maine Turnpike Authority is being subpoenaed to testify before a legislative panel on April 15. Paul Violette resigned recently amid a legislative probe of agency spending. That includes $157,000 in gift cards Violette said he had donated to various organizations, but failed to keep records of.
Sen. Roger Katz, the Augusta Republican co-chairing the Government Oversight Committee, says that as of this week, Violette was the only top Turnpike Authority official to not agree to testify.
"We still really haven't had satisfactory answers about where this $157,000 in supposed gift cards went, so we asked Mr. Violette, as well as other senior Turnpike officials, as well as at least two or three board members on the Turnpike, to come and talk with us on the 15th and talk about where the money went," Katz says. "Although the Turnpike Authority has told us that the $157,000 went to gift cards and those gift cards went to charitable organizations, the information we have so far suggests that neither is completely true."
Last Friday, the committee voted to issue a subpoena if Violette were to refuse to tesify. The vote was 9 to 1, with state Rep. Andrea Boland, a Democrat from Sanford, casting the dissenting vote.

Asthma is a long-term (chronic) disease of the respiratory system. It causes your airways to tighten and become narrow. This makes it hard to breathe and may cause wheezing and coughing.
Even though asthma is a lifelong disease, most people can lead active lives by following a treatment plan, avoiding things that cause flare-ups, and taking medicine.
The cause of asthma is not clearly known.

- "Shoot? I'm a Hippie! The only thing I've ever shot is acid. I heard of a dude who snorted it once. Thought his nose was a kangaroo and the moon was a dog! WOOOOO!"
- ―The Truth
The Truth is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
The Truth is an aging hippie who lives in Flint County and had previously owned a cannabis farm there.
As a conspiracy theorist, The Truth is apparently well aware of conspiracies surrounding the government and related organizations (including law enforcement agencies and the police), which causes him to question CJ after doing missions for Mike Toreno. Truth also owns a van dubbed "The Mothership", although he claims to travel via his astral goat, Herbie, and is acquainted with mechanics Dwaine and Jethro, along with electronics expert Zero.
Events of GTA San Andreas
The Truth and Carl Johnson became friends while CJ was in exile in the Badlands, with CJ helping Truth in the theft of a combine harvester and the destruction of his own farm's crops after the police learn about the farm.
After CJ purchases an abandoned airfield on the outskirts of Las Venturas, The Truth once again seeks CJ's help, this time to steal government property, including a Jetpack from the Area 69 military complex and a containment unit containing unknown "green goo" transported by a heavily guarded train.
- "I mean, far out man. You know I mean, you beat the system! I tried for 30 years to cross over, but you managed it man."
- ―Truth to Carl, after Tenpenny's death
Truth later appears after Carl and Sweet caused Frank Tenpenny to die, saying that he tried to "beat the system" for 30 years, greeting Carl for doing that.
Mission appearances
GTA San Andreas
- First Date/Tanker Commander (Post-mission phone call)
- Body Harvest (Boss)
- Farewell, My Love... (Post-mission phone call)
- Are You Going to San Fierro? (Boss)
- Wear Flowers In Your Hair
- Black Project (Boss)
- Green Goo (Boss)
- Don Peyote (Boss/voice)
- Riot
- End of the Line
- On two separate occasions, The Truth calls into the WCTR show Area 53 and talks about various conspiracy-themed topics. He states on the second time he calls in that he has "held them [aliens] in my own hands." The aliens he may be speaking about may possibly be the substance collected in the mission Green Goo.
- When comparing The Truth ingame with his artwork, he seems to be much younger, still having colored hair, instead of gray hair.
- The Truth is speculated to have an account on the GTA IV website whattheydonotwantyoutoknow.com under the name Trooth. This could also be an easter egg.

After eight years of witty remarks and oft-raunchy jokes, Chelsea Handler – TV's sole late-night comedy queen – is stepping down from her E! throne. And now, as Handler gears up to leave Chelsea Lately at the end of this year, we have so many unanswered questions. Who will fill her shoes? What will she do next?

According to her manager, Irving Azoff, who spoke with The Hollywood Reporter, the comedian has been actively contemplating her post–talk show career. She's also rumored to be in negotiations with several different "suitors." Among them? Netflix, FX, and even a few radio stations. The fate of her faithful sidekick, however, remains unknown.

The small business specialists
Phone: 13 12 49
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Website: www.smallbusiness.wa.gov.au
Business incubators provide a physical location in which a new business can start, in an environment supported by business advice and shared services.
While there are many differences, a typical business incubator would have the space to accommodate between 15-50 small businesses, all working towards the goal of 'graduating' from the facility within 2-3 years. During this time, the owner has access to business advice and support services for the purpose of getting the business off and running in a cost effective and supportive environment.
Business incubators help to reduce the failure rate of start-up businesses which makes them economically viable as they help to create jobs and stimulate the economy.
Are you starting a new business? Have you outgrown your home office? Do you want access to regular support, mentoring and networking? Do you want to avoid entering into a long-term commercial lease? If you answer yes to any of these questions then maybe a business incubator would work for you.
While all of the business incubators offer office space, some offer more specific facilities such as commercial kitchens and manufacturing units.
Business incubators are located throughout Western Australia and each offer a range of facilities and services.

Reviews for Fourth of July Bean Casserole
"I made this and took it to our 4th of July celebration and have made it again since then. It was delicious and a great change to typical baked beans. I made it as the recipe is written except for using cannellini beans in place of the lima beans. It has since replaced my previous tried and true baked bean recipe and it always goes over well with a crowd."
"This is a wonderful baked bean recipe. Guests always want the recipe!"
"We really enjoyed the mixture of beans in this dish. The only thing I would change is the amount of sugar. I cut back on it but will probably eliminate the white sugar completely."
"Loved this recipe. I ended up using 4 x 15 oz. cans of pork and beans, 1 can of kidney bean, and 1 can of butter beans and left all the other ingredient measurements the same. I let it simmer in a slow cooker during the morning of the cookout so the flavors could mesh together and put it in the oven during the last hour. Turned out fantastic. Best baked beans dish I've made ever."
"This recipe sounded so appealing but I changed the recipe somewhat because of too much sugar. I used 2 cans of Bushes country style baked beans and 1 can of light red kidney beans, leaving out the lima beans and the sugar. Left out the ketchup and increased the barbecue sauce. Did not use molasses because the baked beans had molasses in them. Added the chili powder and mustard. Delicious!"

The recently released documentary film Chasing Ice is the story of one of the world's most renowned photojournalists tackling the subject of global warming by documenting the retreat and loss of glacial ice in Iceland, Greenland, Alaska, and Montana due to climate change. This documentary, full of breathtaking images of both sublime beauty and environmental degradation introduces us to the passionate photographer James Balog, who with his team of scientists, techies, climbing experts and field guides set out to document the physical evidence of global warming by setting up cameras in multiple locations to film a particular landscape in order to archive the changes. The dramatic effects of global warming are clearly evident as Balog returns to each site several times a year to make sure the cameras are functioning properly and to review the effects upon the glaciers. The film highlights the emotional up's and down's and natural obstacles to such an endeavor but what really is the most striking feature of the film is the awe-inspiring magnificence of the arctic landscapes.

Solar – a step-by-step alternative: Smaller and affordable installations make green energy viable
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 19 August 2009 04:14
- Written by Pam Walatka - Special to the Town Crier
For homeowners considering installing solar panels but wary of the expense, Jose Radzinsky, president and CEO of Renewable Power Solutions Inc., suggests starting with a baby step: install just a few panels, enough to power one or two appliances, to determine whether solar power is the best choice.
Renewable Power Solutions offers an affordable introduction to solar power. As an alternative to its full-scale installations, the company installs three to six solar panels, enough to generate approximately 1.2 kilowatts of electricity. Later, if the homeowner is satisfied with the results from the first installation, Solutions can continue to expand the system in small steps.
According to Radzinsky, the cost depends somewhat on the roof type. Composition or wood shingles are easy to work with, he said, but tile roofs are more complicated. Before rebates, the cost varies from approximately $7,200 to $7,500, with the after-rebate price approximately $5,000. The only factor likely to prevent a rebate would be a tax lien on the property. Renewable Power Solutions charges the customer the after-rebate price, then the company prepares the rebate paperwork and keeps the rebate check when it comes.
Tax incentives and energy-bill savings would eventually offset the $5,000 cost of the installation, Radzinsky said, with expected electricity-bill savings totaling $35-$40 per month. The 1.2-kilowatt system would power one or two appliances, depending on the amount of power the homeowner draws.
Homeowners would still pay PG&E for electricity, but a lower amount. These are "grid-tie" systems – electricity generated from the solar panels would be delivered to the PG&E power grid via a meter and make the meter spin backward, or at least go forward more slowly. That is, the homeowner would receive financial credit for making power and would reduce his or her carbon footprint.
The power the solar panels generate would not be stored, and the homeowner would remain dependent on PG&E's power grid. If PG&E power goes down, National Electric Code safety restrictions would prevent the solar panels' inverters from delivering power, even to the owners of solar-powered setups. The grid-tie system is the most common installation type. The more expensive alternative, the backup power system, stores electricity in batteries for emergencies.
"We are trying very hard to make solar and being green affordable," Radzinsky said.

- Bhave, Mrinal; Wu, Huimei; Kamboj, Atul
- Abstract
- The 'foldase' enzyme protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) interacts with nascent polypeptides in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum to catalyze the formation of new disulphide bonds, as well as breakage and alternative isomerization of incorrectly formed bonds, during protein folding and maturation processes in eukaryotic cells. PDI belongs to the thioredoxin (TRX) superfamily that catalyzes cellular redox reactions and has an active site with the conserved motif WCXXC. PDI is a member of the larger PDI-like (PDIL) protein family, its subclasses varying in numbers, positions and sequences of functional domains and active sites and in subcellular locations and functions, many including PDI also playing chaperone roles. The human PDIL family has been studied in great detail, its members exhibiting activities ranging from the archetypical disulphide formation/isomerisation to a multitude of chaperone roles of relevance to cell biology and medicine, for example, in neurodegenerative diseases, apoptosis and cancer. The plant PDIL families are larger and more diverse and have been associated with some unique roles such as storage protein folding; however, information on plant PDILs is much more limited. This work overviews the key properties and functions of human PDILs, summarises the diversity and known functions of plant PDILs, and contemplates the directions for future research on PDILs, particularly in plants.

Comments On Nov 26, 2014:I have owned these boots for a few years and they are failing bad. The soles are separated from the boot. Klim will only give you a one year warranty. That's a a lot of money for a ONE year warranty. I loved the boots until they failed. Time for a new brand.

Comments On Jan 08, 2014:The quality product you would expect from Klim. Very stiff technical snowmobile boot.

Comments On Dec 23, 2013:As the description states, these do run a little on the large size so plan on ordering a pair one size smaller than your standard shoe. You'll still have room to wear a thick pair of socks. These are very comfortable! I was expecting somewhat of a hiking boot, but these are actually a little taller than the picture depicts, which is great if you ever encounter a deep snow situation. Size 9's are about 14" tall. Overall extremely happy with these boots, as with all KLIM products!

Comments On May 29, 2013:I love these boots. This is my second pair. I like loose comfortable boots, but you can tighten these up to be close to snow board stiff if you like.

Comments On Feb 16, 2013:I've owned other Klim products and have always been pleased with the performance, however this was my first purchase of Klim footwear. I bought these boots for snowmobiling. I was a little concerned/skeptical that they would be warm enough for very cold weather use. The first weekend I rode with them it was -10 in the morning and maybe warmed up to +5 later in the day. My feet stayed very warm. I've been on a couple of other rides with them since and they have performed great. Good support and stability while on the sled and good traction when walking on snow
Normally I wear an 11.5 or 12 shoe. I ended up going with a size 13 boot. With 2 pairs of socks the boots fit very well.

Comments On May 13, 2011:I had never owned any Klim gear, but have a friend that swears by it. I finally broke down and bought the Klim Adrenaline GTX boots, and have been VERY IMPRESSED. They are plenty warm for me, and the fit is great! I ride fairly hard, and the support is perfect, they allow me to lean forward, but they don't allow my ankles to move to the side or back. I am completely sold on Klim! Would recommend to anyone!

A coalition of Republicans, Democrats and independents in the Maine House and Senate is throwing its support behind a new wide-ranging tax reform plan. Details of the proposal will be released to the public on Wednesday, but legislative leaders hinted at a mix of revenue increases that could include the repeal of many tax exemptions, increases in some targeted taxes and possibly even a limited hike in the sales tax. A.J. Higgins has more.
For months, Gov. Paul LePage has predicted majority Democrats in the Maine Legislature would try to impose new taxes on Maine residents as a way to undo proposed spending cuts in his $6.3 billion state budget plan.
It turns out the governor was right - but what he may not have counted on was that a major tax reform proposal is also being supported by some Republicans and independents in both the House and Senate. Seth Goodall is the Democratic Senate majority leader.
"Right now this has been a group of 11 legislators, five Democrats, five Republicans and an independent, and we'll be unveiling it on Wednesday," Goodall says.
The coalition also includes members of the Legislature's Taxation Committee. One committee member, who asked not to be identified, said the tax reform package has the potential of raising hundreds of millions of dollars in new revenue for the state - largely through the lifting of exemptions on numerous goods and services that currently go untaxed.
Lawmakers are under pressure from their constituents to find a way to offset a shift of more than $350 million in revenues that once flowed back to municipalities in the form of municipal revenue sharing, school funding, homeowner and rental tax relief programs, general assistance to the poor and other funds.
As the former mayor of Augusta, Republican Assistant Senate Minority Leader Roger Katz says he understands the pressures that local governments are facing. Seventy Maine cities and towns have already passed resolutions opposing LePage's budget cuts.
"We are certainly challenged by the difficulty of this budget, but we think that there really is real opportunity here for major comprehenisive tax reform," Katz says.
Neither Katz nor Goodall would elaborate on the details of their plans, but both acknowledged much of the heavy lifting to get the proposal off the ground was shouldered by independent state Sen. Richard Woodbury of Yarmouth.
Woodbury hinted at a new tax plan that would target Maine's summer tourism season and potentially provide a deeper cut to the top individual income tax rate that dropped to 7.9 percent two years ago.
"Anywhere in the realm of sales taxes, people are paying in proportion to the amount of time that they spend here, so if you come for a weekend, you spend a weekend worth of sales taxes, if you'e here for a three-month summer vacation, you spend a quarter share," Woodbury says. "So by collecting more from that part of our tax code, and taking those revenues and providing it in relief to residents through income taxes and property taxes that are targeted relief to residents, you can improve the tax situation for residents."
Seven other Republican and Democratic members of the Maine House have already signed on to the plan, whose supporters predict will attract more votes as details of the bill emerge. Independent state Rep. Joe Brooks, of Winterport, who sits on the Taxation Committee, remains undecided, but he says the plan being advanced by Goodall, Katz and Woodbury has the best chance out of all the proposals floated so far this session.
"This particular group, bipartisan group that's floating around this idea, I think right now stands the best chance," Brooks says.
And Brooks says potential opponents of the tax compromise, including Gov. LePage, should think twice about standing in the way of property tax relief. "If he has any ambitions whatsoever - whatsoever - to run again for governor, if we override his vetoes at this stage of the game, it's all over for him - political future's over. That's my prediction," Brooks says.
House Majority Leader and longtime tax reform advocate Seth Berry is not among those who have signed on to the bipartisan plan, but Berry is reportedly leaving his options open.

- September 2013: Climate and Clean Air Coalition High Level Assembly Announces Ambitious Agenda - Norway's Minister of Environment and Minister of International Development served as co-hosts of the Assembly and made a significant announcement early. "We want to see other countries act," said Bård Vegar Sohjell, Minister of Environment. "We want to enable those with the will, but not necessarily the resources, to act. Concrete efforts in developing countries are important. We are pleased to announce that Norway, in addition to strengthening our efforts at national level for this year and next year collectively, will contribute an additional 110 million Norwegian kroner (approximately 20 million US dollars) to reduce emissions of short lived climate pollutants, with a main focus on efforts in developing countries." While not directly solar cooking related, it is encouraging to see the level of commitment countries are making to address environmental pollutants. Read more..
- June 2007: Every year all school children in Norway are invited to take part in a great science competition called årets nysgjerrigper (The curious parker of the year). There is one main prize, but also 5 different prizes focusing on various aspects of the project. One of these prizes is the energy prize. A group of 13 pupils from 11 to 12 years old received the energy prize of 5000 kroner (about 500 pounds) for their solar cooking project in May 2007. The pupils go to the local public school, Byremo barneskole, in the county of Vest-Agder in Norway. At the moment they are working hard at translating the whole project report to English. When they are finished, the report will be published here.

text: Grilling meat is easier—and safer—when you use this double-layered set of trays made of lightweight melamine and available in two color combinations, white and black or red and black. Place raw meat on the white or red tray, position the black tray underneath and carry both trays to the grill. When your meat is cooked, switch the trays so the black one is on top—ready to hold your cooked meat. The nested design safely prevents cross-contamination between uncooked and cooked food.

Hawks Sweepstakes Winner!
I'll thank the White Sox for my free tickets to Sunday's Hawks' game against Nashville.
Back in October I entered a Blackhawks Sweepstakes at Four Corners Tavern while watching the Sox battle the Devils Rays in the ALDS.
Never thought anything of it until last Friday when I found out I actually won the Sweepstakes!
My loot: two 100-level tickets, a free Hawks sweater and lunch with a Blackhawks ambassador come February.
As for the jersey, I could choose between home red or road white: I went Griswold.
Below I've posted a few picks from the game: Hawks won 3-1 behind some fine net minding from my man, K-Habby, who I got to watch up close.

The Magical Law Enforcement Patrol (formerly known as the Magical Law Enforcement Squad), was a subdivision of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in the Ministry of Magic, comprised of a team of wizards and witches tasked with general law enforcement.
In the 1920s, it was headed by Bob Ogden. Ogden ventured to Little Hangleton to arrest Morfin Gaunt, who had been using magic against local Muggles. Morfin and his father Marvolo resisted arrest, however; thus Ogden later returned with support and arrested both Gaunts.[1] Ogden eventually died of natural causes by 1996. It is unknown who his successor was.
Arthur Weasley mentioned to Harry Potter, after the latter's disciplinary hearing in 1995, that the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol would deal with the culprit behind the regurgitating toilets in Bethnal Green, a prediction in which he was sadly mistaken, as Willy Widdershins cut a deal with the Minister to spy on Harry and the members of Dumbledore's Army in order to escape punishment for his own activities.[2]
Like Muggle police patrols, the Magical Law Enforcement Patrol/Squad appeared to be tasked with conventional law enforcement tasks. Other sub-departments of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement dealt with high-risk or specialised magical crimes.

WASHINGTON – Do you like meat? Do you like meat so much you think it should be celebrated?
If you answered yes, then this event is for you.
Eight days of barbecue is officially underway thanks to D.C. Meat Week, which is honoring all things grilled, smoked and pulled.
"The idea is getting together with people who love barbecue and trying out a restaurant you might not have been to before or even know existed," says David Gootzit, meat aficionado and organizer of D.C. Meat Week.
From Monday to Thursday, specialty restaurants like Epic Smokehouse and Pork Barrel BBQ are opening their doors for specials. Friday, check out the food truck face-off hosted by Living Social in downtown D.C. Saturday's brunch at Kangaroo Boxing Club is already sold out, but there are still tickets for Sunday's closing event at Mr. P's in Northeast.

Members of Parliament yesterday demanded that the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau and the State Intelligence Services invest more efforts in strategies aimed at helping the nation achieve its pro-poor development goals.
They talked of indications that the two state agencies were yet to put their immense power and potential to full use in supporting strategies aimed at fast-tracking the nation's social and economic development.
"Millions of Tanzanians are languishing under difficult socio-economic conditions chiefly owing to pervasive corruption, lack of good governance and gross violations of human rights by state organs," Iringa Urban legislator Rev Peter Msigwa submitted when contributing to debate on the 2011/2012 Budget estimates tabled in the House on Monday by Hawa Ghasia, Minister of State in the President's Office (Civil Service Management).
He charged that PCCB was under-performing, "as evidenced by its clear failure to contain the rising wave of grand and petty corruption across the country".
He also recalled that PCCB Director General Dr Edward Hoseah once confessed at a seminar for MPs held in Dar es Salaam that grand corruption involved high-profile figures in government circles who could hardly ever be touched.
"There are untouchable corrupt elements in the government machinery, so what is the logic of having PCCB? If PCCB cannot touch particular corrupt officials in the government, its boss should step down; he has to resign," said Msigwa.
"It does not make any sense for the PCCB chief to continue holding a position where he has full powers to execute his duties effectively and efficiently for the public interest but does not do so. He must deliver to the expectations of Tanzanians and not few people in the government – or throw in the towel," he added.
The opposition legislator also talked of "signs of the State Intelligence Service becoming increasingly bent on supporting the ruling party checking the movements and activities of opposition parties instead of seeking to safeguard national security".
Michael Laizer (Longido) meanwhile said corruption and related anti-social practices were rampant in district councils and municipalities across the country but PCCB was doing little to keep the vice in check.
Citing examples, he said corruption and other malpractices were rife at the country's border points, in procurement processes in local government authorities, in the education sector and in all manner of development projects.
"Millions upon millions of shillings dished out through the Tanzania Social Action Trust Fund (TASAF) to facilitate the implementation of community-based projects are swindled, yet PCCB is not doing anything to arrest the tide," submitted a visibly concerned Laizer.
He said PCCB was concentrating more on corruption associated with politics while leaving many corruption-prone zones unchecked, adding: "The bureau's presence is nowhere to be felt in many areas. For many people, it is something of a ghost."
For her part, Magdalena Sakaya (Special Seats) faulted the government for what she described as failure to help good governance and the rule of law flourish and failure to rein in violations of people's rights by law-enforcement agencies".
"Our security and good governance systems are not working at all. In short, we have neither good governance nor rule of law in this country," she argued.
Ubungo legislator John Mnyika appealed to the State Intelligence Services and PCCB to investigate reports relating to grand corruption scandals "and help the government in designing results-oriented development strategies in order to bail out the millions of Tanzanians languishing in poverty".
He talked of the government having paid a 3bn/- in controversial circumstances, with a second instalment of 4.5bn/- lined up, asking the two state agencies "to chip in and investigate dubious and controversial payments of this nature".
"The two state organs should borrow a leaf from similar ones in other countries on strategies employed to stimulate economic growth and development instead of staying practically idle, just monitoring the movements of opposition parties," noted the MP.
Most of the MPs who contributed to the debate said it was wrong and improper for the government to fall short of saying if it had reviewed the minimum wage in the public service, noting that the suspense would serve as a disincentive to public servants.
