Platysma muscle
- Platysma is also a plant taxon synonym with Podochilus, an orchid genus.
Platysma muscle | |
The platysma is visible, with skin removed.
The muscles of the face, platysma visible at bottom right.
Latin | Platysma |
Gray's | p.387 |
Origin | subcutaneous tissue of infraclavicular and supraclavicular regions |
Insertion | base of mandible; skin of cheek and lower lip; angle of mouth; orbicularis oris |
Artery | branches of the Submental artery and Suprascapular artery |
Nerve | cervical branch of the facial nerve (CN VII) |
Actions | Draws the corners of the mouth inferiorly and widens it (as in expressions of sadness and fright). Also draws the skin of the neck superiorly when teeth are clenched |
Anatomical terms of muscle |
The platysma is a superficial muscle that overlaps the sternocleidomastoid.
It is a broad sheet arising from the fascia covering the upper parts of the pectoralis major and deltoid; its fibers cross the clavicle, and proceed obliquely upward and medially along the side of the neck.
The anterior fibers interlace below and behind the symphysis menti, with the fibers of the muscle of the opposite side; the posterior fibers cross the mandible, some being inserted into the bone below the oblique line, others into the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the lower part of the face. Many of these fibers blend with the muscles about the angle and lower part of the mouth.
Sometimes fibers can be traced to the zygomaticus,disambiguation needed or to the margin of the orbicularis oris. Beneath the platysma, the external jugular vein descends from the angle of the mandible to the clavicle.
Variations occur in the extension over the face and over the clavicle and shoulder; it may be absent or interdigitate with the muscle of the opposite side in front of the neck; attachment to clavicle, mastoid process or occipital bone occurs. A more or less independent fasciculus, the occipitalis minor, may extend from the fascia over the trapezius to fascia over the insertion of the sternocleidomastoideus.
The platysma is supplied by cervical branch of the Facial nerve (CN VII).1
When the entire platysma is in action it produces a slight wrinkling of the surface of the skin of the neck in an oblique direction. Its anterior portion, the thickest part of the muscle, depresses the lower jaw; it also serves to draw down the lower lip and angle of the mouth in the expression of melancholy, i.e. grimacing. However, the platysma plays only a minor role in depressing the lip which is primarily performed by the depressor anguli oris and the depressor labii inferioris. Another way to visualize this muscle is looking at this picture: without the platysma, Robert De Niro could not make the expression shown in the picture or more famously do his signature face and say "Lil' Bit" (from the movie Goodfellas).

[JURIST] A US Marine invoked his right to defer his plea at his Friday military arraignment [USMC press release] on charges stemming from the killings of 24 Iraqi civilians in Haditha [USMC timeline; JURIST news archive] in November 2005. A lawyer for Lt. Col. Jeffrey R. Chessani [JURIST news archive] did say that he planned to plead not guilty. Trial has been scheduled for April 28. Chessani faces court-martial for dereliction of duty and violation of a lawful order based on the allegations that he failed to properly investigate shootings, and could serve three years in prison if convicted on all counts. AP has more.Chessani, the former commander of the Third Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment [official website], did not order an immediate investigation into the deaths because he did not suspect any wrongdoing. In a sworn statement made to military investigators, Chessani said that he did not see any cause for alarm and that he believed at the time that killings followed a complex attack by insurgents attempting to lure Marines into shooting into homes where civilians were located. It has been alleged that the civilians were murdered in cold blood [JURIST report], but Chessani said that when he first learned of allegations that the civilians were killed intentionally he thought that the claims were baseless. On Tuesday, Lance Cpl. Stephen B. Tatum [advocacy profile], who served under Chessani, also declined to enter a plea [JURIST report] during his arraignment. Tatum faces a maximum of 19 years in prison if found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment, and aggravated assault charges. Related charges [text] against four servicemen have been dropped.
[JURIST] The Georgian Republic ended its national state of emergency [JURIST report] Friday, as promised earlier this week. On Wednesday, Georgian Speaker of Parliament Nino Burdzhanadze [BBC profile] had announced in a televised statement on behalf of the government that emergency rule would be lifted Friday. A government spokesperson also announced Friday that Georgian Prime Minister Zurab Nogaideli has resigned; Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili [official website] has appointed banker Lado Gurgenidze [Goizueta profile] as his successor. After several days of protests, Nogaideli announced a presidential decree last week temporarily banning demonstrations and public calls for violence or government overthrow. Saakashvili has blamed Russian spy agencies for instigating the protests [speech], though the Russian Foreign Ministry has dismissed those claims [statement]. In August, a Georgian court sentenced 12 opposition activists [JURIST report] to prison terms of up to eight-and-a-half years for participating in a coup plot that Saakashvili alleged was backed by Russia. Saakashvili has allied himself closely with the US and NATO since taking office in 2004, and Georgian authorities alleged that the convicted opposition activists had been supported by the Russian security services. Georgian-Russian relations have deteriorated markedly [JURIST report] in the last year. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit [official website] Friday ruled [PDF text] that a defunct Muslim charity cannot use a document turned over to it by the US government as evidence that it was the subject of an illegal wiretap. The court held that a secret call log accidentally given to lawyers for the Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation by the US Treasury Department qualifies as a state secret [SourceWatch backgrounder] and cannot be entered into evidence in the foundation's lawsuit against the government because of national security interests. The court sent the lawsuit back to the trial court, but the case is not expected to survive if the foundation cannot rely on the call log.The Oregon lawsuit, filed [JURIST report] by the now-defunct foundation in February 2006, claims that the National Security Agency illegally wiretapped several conversations between the charity and its attorneys, having failed to get a court order as required by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) [text; JURIST news archive]. In September 2006, lawyers for the US Department of Justice asked the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse a district court ruling [JURIST report] allowing the charity's lawsuit to proceed. Earlier that month, the lower court judge denied the government's motion to dismiss [opinion, PDF], rejecting contentions [JURIST report] that the proceeding would reveal state secrets. AP has more. Wired has additional coverage.
[JURIST] Turkish lawmakers Friday moved to disband the country's leading pro-Kurdish political party and boot its representatives from parliament. Chief Prosecutor Abdurrahman Yalcinkaya charged the Democratic Society Party [party website] with separatism after members gave speeches last week in support of autonomy for Kurds living in the country's southeast. The prosecutor's office will send an indictment to the Constitutional Court of Turkey [official website]. Turkish politicians have also accused the the Democratic Society Party of links to the rebel Kurdistan Workers' Party [BBC backgrounder], which has been designated as a terrorist organization by both the United States and the European Union. AP has more.In February, Turkish authorities charged [JURIST report] Democratic Society Party leader Hilmi Aydogdu with inciting hatred after stating that any Turkish attack on Kirkuk [Global Security backgrounder], a city in northern Iraq with a large Kurdish population, would be comparable to an attack on all Kurds. Growing hostility between Kurds, Arabs, and Turks in Kirkuk, as well as suspicions that Iraqi Kurds seek to create an independent state with Kirkuk as its capital, has made Turkey wary. The country has suggested that it might protect its interests in the oil-rich city with military force.
[JURIST] General Pervez Musharraf [official website; JURIST news archive] Thursday amended [amendment text] the Provisional Constitution Order (PCO) [text] issued under the country's declaration of emergency rule on November 3 to allow the country's president to revoke the state of emergency. The original PCO was issued by Musharraf in capacity as head of the military, but Musharraf said earlier this week that he expected to resign that position [JURIST report] by the end of the month, retaining his presidential post. On Friday Pakistani Attorney General Malik Qayyum said that Musharraf wanted to reserve the power of lifting the state of emergency since he was the one to impose it. Qayyum also said he expected the state of emergency would be lifted within two months, which would carry it beyond the anticipated date of parliamentary elections. Dawn has more.Former Pakistani prime ministers Benazir Bhutto [personal website] and Nawaz Sharif [BBC profile] both slammed the amendment as portending a lengthy period of emergency. Dawn has more.
[JURIST] Rwandan investigators delivered a report Friday to Rwandan President Paul Kagame [official website; BBC profile] on alleged French involvement in the 1994 genocide [HRW backgrounder; BBC backgrounder] in the African nation. Specific details have not yet been disclosed, but Rwandan Attorney General Tharcisse Karugarama told Reuters that "the report does implicate very heavily different key players in the Rwandan genocide." He added that the report will not be made public until authorities "analyze it and take necessary action in regard to the recommendations." France has denied allegations that its forces trained militias responsible for the genocide. Reuters has more.Rwanda began the probe [JURIST report] into France's alleged role in the genocide late last year after Kagame publicly accused [JURIST report] France of supporting the 1994 genocide by providing Hutu militias with training and weapons. The African nation severed diplomatic ties [JURIST report] with France last year after a report filed by French anti-terrorism judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere [BBC profile] implicated Kagame in the 1994 killing of then-Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana [Britannica profile]. The downing of the plane carrying the Hutu leader sparked the genocide in which more than 800,000 people were killed in the span of 100 days. Kagame has denied any involvement in the downing of his predecessor's plane. In October, the Rwandan government established a commission [JURIST report] to investigate the circumstances surrounding the 1994 assassination.
[JURIST] The UN General Assembly's Third Committee [official website] on Thursday voted 99-52 to place a worldwide moratorium [press release] on the death penalty [JURIST news archive]. Thirty-three countries abstained from the vote. Opponents of the resolution [text; JURIST report], including Singapore, Egypt, and Botswana, argued [JURIST report] before the committee Wednesday that it would infringe on nations' sovereignty, and presented a list of 14 last-minute amendments emphasizing nations' right to set criminal punishments. The amendments were all ultimately rejected. The US voted against the resolution, which will go to the UN General Assembly [official website] later this year. Though non-binding, supporters of the resolution believe international opinion against capital punishment is growing.The resolution states that capital punishment "undermines human dignity," that "there is no conclusive evidence of the death penalty's deterrent value" and that "any miscarriage or failure of justice in [its] implementation is irreversible and irreparable." Two previous attempts to abolish the death penalty failed to win a majority in the 192-member assembly. This time, however, the resolution calls for a suspension, rather than a complete abolition, of capital punishment. BBC News has more. The UN News Centre has additional coverage.
[JURIST] More than 1,000 suspected human rights abusers from 85 countries are currently living in the United States, according to to a statement [text] delivered by Marcy Forman, director of the Investigations Office of the US Department of Homeland Security [official website], to the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law. Forman noted that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) [official website] has over 140 pending investigations of 800 leads on rights violations committed predominantly in Central and South America, Haiti, the Balkans, and Africa by people now residing in the United States, but added that the US often cannot assert jurisdiction over crimes committed in foreign countries. According to Forman, ICE has since 2003 arrested more than 100 and deported 238 suspected human rights abusers.Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) [official website] chaired the Wednesday hearing [press release] examining rights violations committed abroad by people now living in the US. He noted that "America has become a safe haven for the perpetrators of some of the world's most notorious war crimes" and urged lawmakers to make identification and prosecution of rights violators a priority. AFP has more.
[JURIST] A New York appellate court unanimously upheld [opinion] the convictions of former Tyco International [corporate website] CEO L. Dennis Kozlowski [JURIST news archive] and former CFO Mark Swartz Thursday, rejecting arguments that the pair had been convicted of grand larceny, securities fraud and falsifying business records [JURIST report] on insufficient evidence. The court affirmed their eight to 25-year prison sentences [JURIST report] and fines of $70 million for Kozlowski and $35 million for Swartz. Lawyers for the two said they would try to appeal to the New York Court of Appeals [official website], New York's top court. Last month, Corporate Officers & Directors Insurance (CODA), a subsidiary of ACE Bermuda, filed a petition [JURIST report] in a New York trial court requesting an order compelling Kozlowski to pay the insurer approximately $1.97 million. CODA provided directors and officers liability insurance to Kozlowski, and won an arbitration award in the UK for recovery of money paid in legal fees to the former executive.Tyco suffered one of the most infamous corporate fraud scandals [JURIST news archive] in modern times when Kozlowski and Swartz were found guilty of looting the company and defrauding its shareholders out of more than $150 million in unauthorized personal compensation. Tyco settled SEC charges [JURIST report] of fraudulent accounting in April 2006 for $50 million. In July, a federal judge gave preliminary approval [JURIST report] to a $3.2 billion settlement agreement [JURIST report] between Tyco International, Tyco's former auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers [corporate website], and investors who were harmed by fraudulent accounting practices orchestrated by Tyco's former top executives. Bloomberg has more.
[JURIST] US President George W. Bush Thursday announced five nominations [WH press release] for top posts in the US Department of Justice (DOJ), including a federal judge sitting in Chicago for the number two spot. Bush's nominations include:
[JURIST] UN Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Paulo Sergio Pinheiro [official profile] said Friday that he obtained enough information from a five-day visit [JURIST report] to Myanmar to determine the number of people killed during September's crackdown on pro-democracy protests [JURIST report]. Pinheiro said he will compile his findings and report them to the UN Human Rights Council in December. Pinheiro was in Myanmar to investigate allegations of abuse related to the military junta crackdown on dissent, where the government has to-date reported that 10 people died and 3,000 activists were detained [JURIST report]. Pinheiro said Friday that the government has now acknowledged 15 deaths [Reuters report] during the crackdown on protests. Dissident groups say that the death doll was much higher [CBC report].Pinheiro met with several prominent political prisoners during his visit to Myanmar, but his request to see opposition leader and Nobel laureate Aung San Suu Kyi [JURIST news archive] was denied by the ruling junta. Among the detainees Pinheiro was able to speak with was prominent labor activist Su Su Nwe [AHRC materials], who was arrested Tuesday [JURIST report] while posting a leaflet outside of Pinheiro's hotel. AP has more.
[JURIST] The US House of Representatives passed the RESTORE Act of 2007 ("Responsible Electronic Surveillance That is Overseen, Reviewed and Effective Act of 2007") [HR 3773 materials] by a margin of 227-187 [roll call] late Thursday without including a provision that would grant immunity to telecommunication companies [JURIST report] that aided the US government in its domestic surveillance program [JURIST news archive]. The House Judiciary and Intelligence committees advanced [JURIST report] the bill to the House floor last month. If the legislation passes in the Senate, the RESTORE Act would replace the temporary Protect America Act [S 1927 materials], signed [JURIST report] in August, as the law governing foreign surveillance. It permits eavesdropping on foreign targets operating outside the US, but if the surveillance targets are thought to be communicating with Americans, the government must apply for an "umbrella" court order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) [official backgrounder] to conduct surveillance for up to one year. In an emergency, the government may begin surveillance immediately and apply for a FISC court order within seven days. The White House on Thursday confirmed President George Bush's intent to veto the bill [SAP, PDF] without an immunity provision for telecommunications companies:
H.R. 3773 is deficient in several particular aspects:...Fails to Provide Retroactive Liability Protection for Companies Alleged to Have Assisted the Government in the Wake of the September 11 Terrorist Attacks. The Administration strongly opposes H.R. 3773 because it fails to grant liability protection to companies alleged to have assisted the Government's counterterrorism efforts in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks. It is a matter of basic fairness that providers who are alleged to have provided assistance to the Government in the wake of these terrorist attacks should not face liability claims. It also is critical to our national security that such companies be protected from litigation, since companies that face lawsuits for allegedly assisting the Government may be unwilling to provide assistance if and when it is needed to prevent future terrorist attacks.

DETROIT -- General Motors will follow through on plans to provide U.S. Saab dealers with a new crossover, assuming a deal to sell the automaker to a small Swedish company is completed.

Core Curriculum
As a Jesuit University, Fordham seeks to help its students develop the habits of heart and mind that are the hallmarks of liberally educated men and women. Consisting of eighteen courses, the Core Curriculum is designed to provide the student with a broad humanistic background, to enhance communication skills, to enable the student to sample a range of academic disciplines and fields of study, and to provide a solid foundation for achievement in any of them.
The areas of study, and the specific courses comprising each, are as follows:
(Course titles are in italics.)
Writing - 1 course
English Composition/Rhetoric
: The fundamental language skills and the more advanced stylistic strategies that make writing sophisticated, clear and effective; the rudiments of using library resources and the preparation of academic research papers. (Students who need a preparatory course will first take BasicWriting Skills.)
Literature - 2 courses
Close Reading and Critical Writing
: The practice of reading literature and understanding the figurative language central to poetry, drama, and fiction. The second course can be chosen from among Literature and Society, Poetry and Poetics, History and the Novel, Tragedy and Comedy, Traditions of Story Telling, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton.
Philosophy - 2 courses
Philosophy of Human Nature
: The most basic questions regarding human existence (e.g., freedom and responsibility; the relationships between the self and the other, mind and body, feeling and reason).
Philosophical Ethics
: Diverse approaches to morality and its role in personal, social, and political life.
Theology - 2 courses
Faith and Critical Reason
: The phenomenon of religion in its varied manifestations (e.g., Christianity, Judaism, etc.) and some critical categories for evaluating this phenomenon. The second course can be chosen from a number of courses that focus on the classic documents of one or more religions, including: The Old Testament, The New Testament, Sacred Books of the East, The Torah, Classic Religious Texts, Classic Jewish Texts, etc.
History - 2 courses
The West from the Enlightenment to the Present
: The European roots of the present world from a Western perspective.
The second course can be chosen from among the introductions to Modern American History, Ancient History, Medieval History, Latin American History, Asian History, African History, or Middle East History.
Mathematical Reasoning - 1 course
Most students fulfill the mathematical reasoning component by taking either Finite Mathematics or Structures of Computer Science. (A Mathematics Workshop course is available for students who need preparatory work.)
Natural Science - 2 courses
Designed to introduce students to both scientific methodology and scientific ways of understanding nature and natural phenomena. Students take either a two-course sequence in biology, chemistry or physics, or one course in a physical science (chemistry, physics) and one course in a life science (biology, psychology, physical anthropology).
Social Science - 2 courses
The first course can be chosen from Basic Macroeconomics, Basic Microeconomics, or the introductions to Politics, Cultural Anthropology, or Sociology. The second course can be either another one of these, or a second course in the same field, or a course in Communication and Media Studies.
Senior Values Seminar - 1 course
An opportunity for disciplined, critical reflection on issues in personal or social ethics, religious conscience, human relations or social action. Seminars will be offered in theology and philosophy, as well as other fields.
All students will include within (not in addition to) their core, major, and elective course choices a Freshman Seminar course (coded F) intended as a community-building introduction to college work, a course with a Global Studies focus (G), and an American Pluralism course (P) dealing with diversity issues.

The petition outlined the shareholder groups' allegation that Massey board chairman Bobby Inman pushed Crutchfield to promise jobs for Massey vice president of operations Chris Adkins and general counsel Shane Harvey.
Independent investigator Davitt McAteer has questioned whether Adkins should be hired by Alpha, given his supervision of the Upper Big Branch Mine and Massey's Aracoma Alma No. 1 Mine, where two workers died in a January 2006 fire and a Massey subsidiary admitted criminal safety violations.
Adkins and Harvey are running Massey's internal investigation of Upper Big Branch, the court petition says, a probe that has so far led the company to argue that Upper Big Branch was a natural disaster.
Also, the petition says that Inman and Crutchfield worked out a deal to ensure Alpha provided continued jobs for Chris Blanchard and Jason Whitehead, the two Massey officials who were running Upper Big Branch at the time of the explosion.
The petition notes that Blanchard and Whitehead - out of 5,800 Massey employees at 56 different mines - were specifically discussed during phone calls between Inman and Crutchfield.
"I pledged that none of these names would pose a problem," Crutchfield said in an email message memorializing an Oct. 1, 2010, discussion with Inman, the court filing says.
Lawyers for the Massey shareholders told the Supreme Court that this "secret pact" amounted to Massey and Alpha protecting the Massey executives "most culpable for participating in (or covering up) illegal conduct implicated in the UBB disaster."
In a response, Massey lawyers told the Supreme Court that the allegations were false and that controlling Massey's internal investigation would not help corporate insiders anyway.
"The ability to control Massey's internal investigation would have no effect on the defendants' potential liability ... since the findings of that investigation would not preclude other, outside investigations from reaching different conclusions and assigning culpability regardless of what Massey's own findings are," the company's lawyers wrote.
More complete lawsuit documents that detail events leading up to the merger remain sealed, with a hearing on their status scheduled for 1:30 p.m. today in King's courtroom. The Charleston Gazette and NPR have filed a motion seeking to have the records opened to the public.

text: We sighed despairingly when rock-and-roll pie man Rodney Henry, pictured, closed up his little shop in Canton. Yes, we knew we could still order pies through his website (http://www.dangerouspies.com), but we also knew that we were lazy, capricious creatures who could not be counted on to plan our pie cravings ahead of time. Now, however, Henry and business partner Bob Kinnecome have opened a new Dangerously Delicious in Federal Hill (1036 Light Street, 410-522-7437). It's bigger than the old place—or maybe we should say, "less small"—with a few tables in back that can be shoved aside to make room for the occasional live music. Once again, we can pick up that last-minute pecan or apple pie for the holiday potluck, or settle down at a table to indulge in a slice of strawberry-rhubarb or lemon chess. Sigh.

Re: Help! Old Muzzleloader Rifle I.D with detailed Pics!
The lock is original and was never a flintlock. Goulcher made thousands of these locks for export and they were used by many many gunsmiths in the 1800's. There are no extra holes in the lockplate where the spring for the frizzen would have been attached. Also the priming pan for a flintlock would have covered some of the engraving. The drum looks period correct.
Is there a name on the barrel. Without a name there is no way of knowing who made it. The rifle is in the style of Ohio or Indiana gunsmiths.
Is the barrel muzzle coned. This allows a patched ball to be started easily. I would expect the rifle to be 40 cal or less so the muzzle may be coned. The sight may be a replacement also. They look to high. The front sight is usually a "barley corn" style with a tiny silver blade.
I believe the rifle has been cleaned. The patina is not "right". If you run your fingers across the curls on the stock you should feel a ripple effect. Is the butt plate proud of the wood? Wood shrinks with age.
With out handling the gun I can't tell for sure. If you handed the rifle to me at the national muzzle loading shoot in Friendship this is what I would have told you.
i'll shut up

Hamburger America: Completely Revised and Updated Edition: A State-by-State Guide to 150 Great Burger Joints | George Motz | America's hamburger expert George Motz returns with a completely updated edition of Hamburger America, now with 150 establishments where readers can find the best burgers in the country. George Motz has made it his personal mission to preserve America's hamburger heritage, and his travelogue spotlights the nation's best roadside stands, nostalgic diners, mom-n-pop shops, and college town favorites--all with George's photographs and commentary throughout. Whether you're an armchair traveler, a serious connoisseur, or curious adventurer, Hamburger America is an essential resource for reclaiming this precious slice of Americana. | |
Burger Chef (Images of America) (Images of America (Arcadia Publishing)) | Scott R. Sanders and Foreword by Frank P. Thomas Jr. | Frank P. Thomas Jr., Donald J. Thomas, and Robert E. Wildman, owners of the General Equipment Company, entered into the fast-food business by opening a 15¢ hamburger restaurant called Burger Chef in Indianapolis in 1958. General Equipment was a manufacturer of restaurant machinery and built the equipment installed in each Burger Chef store. The partners started their new Burger Chef division to sell more equipment; they never could have imagined that Burger Chef would eventually grow to become the nation's second-largest hamburger chain and beloved by customers in towns and cities across America. Burger Chef continued in business until 1982, cooking its popular flame-broiled hamburgers and introducing its memorable advertising icons, Burger Chef and Jeff. | |

Everything I Want To Do Is Illegal: War Stories From the Local Food Front | Joel Salatin | Drawing upon 40 years' experience as an ecological farmer and marketer, Joel Salatin explains with humor and passion why Americans do not have the freedom to choose the food they purchase and eat. From child labor regulations to food inspection, bureaucrats provide themselves sole discretion over what food is available in the local marketplace. Their system favors industrial, global corporate food systems and discourages community-based food commerce, resulting in homogenized selection, mediocre quality, and exposure to non-organic farming practices. Salatin's expert insight explains why local food is expensive and difficult to find and will illuminate for the reader a deeper understanding of the industrial food complex. | |
Catit Design Senses Treat Maze | The Catit Design Senses Food Maze is the smart way to feed your cat. The cat moves the food (or treats) through the maze by pawing at it through the side openings until it drops down to the food tray. The Food Maze appeals to your cat's sense of touch and taste while encouraging mental and physical activity. By making your cat work for its food; and monitoring the amount of food added to the maze, the Food Maze can be a valuable tool to help with overeating or obesity problems. The line of Catit Design Senses products was developed with your cat in mind, designed to appeal to all of your cat's senses. The Catit Design Sense Food Maze offers various levels of difficulty to challenge your cat's abilities. | ||
The Economics of Food: How Feeding and Fueling the Planet Affects Food Prices | Patrick Westhoff | Over the past two years, food prices have soared -- and plummeted. As crops are increasingly shifted to biofuel production, will food prices soar again? Will people starve as a result? What are the hidden relationships between the food on your plate and the gas in your car? Will economic recovery lead directly to massive price inflation in both food and energy? In this book, one of the world's leading experts untangles the complex global relationships between food, energy, and economics and helps readers come to their own conclusions about the future of food. Pat Westhoff reveals what really causes large swings in food prices and what is likely to cause them to rise and fall in the future. Westhoff discusses all the factors that drive changes in the cost of food: not just biofuel production, but also weather, income growth, exchange rates, energy prices, government policies, market speculation, and more. Next, he walks through several of the most likely scenarios for the future, offering insights that will be indispensable to consumers, commodity speculators, and policymakers alike. | |

The Atlas of Food | Erik Millstone | What we eat, where we eat, and how we eat: these questions are explored in this remarkable book, first published in 2002. Now in its second edition, The Atlas of Food provides an up-to-date and visually appealing way of understanding the important issues relating to global food and agriculture. In mapping out broad areas of investigation--contamination of food and water, overnutrition, micronutrient deficiency, processing, farming, and trade--it offers a concise overview of today's food and farming concerns. Buttressed by engaging prose and vivid graphics, Erik Millstone and Tim Lang convincingly argue that human progress depends on resolving global inequality and creating a more sustainable food production system.Copub: Myriad Editions | |
Food Politics: What Everyone Needs to Know | Robert Paarlberg | The politics of food is changing fast. In rich countries, obesity is now a more serious problem than hunger. Consumers once satisfied with cheap and convenient food now want food that is also safe, nutritious, fresh, and grown by local farmers using fewer chemicals. Heavily subsidized and underregulated commercial farmers are facing stronger push back from environmentalists and consumer activists, and food companies are under the microscope. Meanwhile, agricultural success in Asia has spurred income growth and dietary enrichment, but agricultural failure in Africa has left one-third of all citizens undernourished - and the international markets that link these diverse regions together are subject to sudden disruption. Food Politics carefully examines and explains the most important issues on today's global food landscape, including international food prices, famines, chronic hunger, the Malthusian race between food production and population growth, international food aid, "green revolution" farming, obesity, farm subsidies and trade, agriculture and the environment, agribusiness, supermarkets, food safety, fast food, slow food, organic food, local food, and genetically engineered food. Politics in each of these areas has become polarized over the past decade by conflicting claims and accusations from advocates on all sides. Paarlberg's book maps this contested terrain, challenging myths and critiquing more than a few of today's fashionable beliefs about farming and food. For those ready to have their thinking about food politics informed and also challenged, this is the book to read. | |
Lab Manual for Understanding Food, 4th | Janelle M. Walter and Karen Beathard | The lab manual includes recipes and experiments appropriate for a food principles and food preparation course, organized to match the sequence of topics in the text. Each lab begins with an introduction and pre-lab questions, followed by an overview of the objectives, procedures, recipes, and post-lab questions. |

text: Navigating the Health Care System Advice Columns from Dr. Carolyn Clancy AHRQ Director Carolyn Clancy, M.D., has prepared brief, easy-to-understand advice columns for consumers to help navigate the health care system. They will address important issues such as how to recognize high-quality health care, how to be an informed health care consumer, and how to choose a hospital, doctor, and health plan. Check back regularly for new columns. Sign up: Dr. Clancy's Corner: Health Care Advice for Consumers email updates Dec 6 2011 Tools Help You Choose a Good Nursing Home By Carolyn M. Clancy, M.D. Finding a high-quality nursing home for a family member is a daunting task.Many people have not had to make this decision before. And it's often made under stress, when asking good questions and thinking carefully about your options are harder than usual.Fortunately, more information is available that can help you learn about nursing home quality and prepare you to make a well-informed decision.Start this process with an online tool from the Federal Government called Nursing Home Compare. This lets you look up nursing homes in your area by name, city, county, State, or ZIP Code. First unveiled in 2009, Nursing Home Compare has detailed information on every nursing home certified by Medicare or Medicaid.Nursing homes are rated using a 1- to 5-star scale, with those earning 5 stars being rated the highest. Ratings are based on how many and what type of staff members they have, how well they perform on health inspections, and how they rank on quality measures. Ratings for each measure are given individually and are also combined into an overall rating.Starting in 2012, Nursing Home Compare will include a new measure that includes input from the nursing home residents. This new information will take the place of the quality measures that currently appear on Nursing Home Compare. Findings will be part of the ratings starting in April 2012.Staffing and health inspection data add important information and will continue to be a factor in each nursing home's overall rating. The staffing measure tells you the average staffing levels—such as the number of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants—for each resident each day. This is a good benchmark, but it has limits. It does not show the number of nursing staff present at any given time or describe the amount of care give to any one resident. The health inspection measure looks at many major aspects of care in a nursing home. This includes how medicines are managed, whether food is prepared safely, and whether residents are protected from inadequate care. Inspections take place about once a year, but they may be done more often if the nursing home has several problems to correct.Even with so much good information, the Nursing Home Compare tool and rating system won't answer all of your questions. For example, the ratings won't tell you if the nursing home has improved, or gotten worse, in certain areas since it was rated. That's why it's important to visit any facility you are considering. Be sure to ask questions of the staff, especially people who provide care to residents. It's also a good idea to visit a nursing home a second time on a different day of the week and another time of day. You may get a better idea of changes in staff, activities, and other factors that could make a difference in your choice.An excellent list of questions to ask during such visits is available from a nursing home checklist (PDF File; Plugin Software Help) by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). And a new handbook (PDF File; Plugin Software Help) from CMS explains how to pay for nursing home care, describes residents' rights, and gives alternatives to nursing home care. Another good resource is your State ombudsman; select to find yours.We have come a long way in our efforts to improve the quality of care for nursing home residents. But we still have work to do, especially when it comes to creating a setting that encourages staff to report problems without fear of blame, according to a recent report from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). The majority (86 percent) of nursing home staff interviewed for the report said that residents are well-cared for and safe. However, about half said that staff are blamed when a resident is harmed.I'm excited to see the progress that nursing homes have made in measuring and improving quality. Best of all, that information is available to help you make a good choice.I'm Dr. Carolyn Clancy, and that's my advice on how to navigate the health care system.ResourcesCenters for Medicare and Medicaid ServicesNursing Home Comparehttp://www.medicare.gov/NHCompare/Include/DataSection/Questions/SearchCriteriaNEW.asp?version=default&browser=IE%7C8%7CWinXP&language=English&defaultstatus=0&pagelist=Home&CookiesEnabledStatus=TrueQuality Measurehttp://www.medicare.gov/NHCompare/static/tabhelp.asp?language=English&activeTab=4&subTab=0&version=default Nursing Home Checklisthttp://www.medicare.gov/nursing/checklist.pdf Guide to Choosing a Nursing Homehttp://www.medicare.gov/Publications/Pubs/pdf/02174.pdf Agency for Healthcare Research and QualityNursing Home Survey on Patient Safety Culturehttp://www.ahrq.gov/qual/nhsurvey11/National Long-Term Care Ombudsman Resource CenterLocate an Ombudsman and State Agencieshttp://www.ltcombudsman.org/ombudsman Current as of December 2011 Internet Citation: Tools Help You Choose a Good Nursing Home.

- Divine Irony
- The abode of the Remover of Obstacles is the nation of jumbo-sized snags.
The motherland of the goddess of holy rivers is a country submerged in grief.
The home of the god of dance and destruction is the cradle of hope.
The birthplace of the goddess of wealth is the fount of poverty.
The cocoon of the goddess of knowledge is the dark realm of ignorance.
The playing field of the god of light is the sea of sunshine.
India, the haven of 330 million gods is a world of divine irony.

Savage Magazines for Savage Bolt Action Rifles
- Factory replacement magazine
- Fits Savage Bolt Action rifles
Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 11
Rated 5 out of 5 by sniper11891 a great addition at the range
Having extra mags at the range is very important, I bought the stainless for my Mark II and they work flawlessly.
June 4, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by StobDonkey They work with some tweaking
Bought 4 of these for my Savage 93r, all of them would not fit out of the pack. Only took a small amout of adjustment with some needle nose pliers and they go in and out of the gun like silk.

It wasn't what I wanted. The review said it would fit any bolt action savage 17 hmr and it was wrong.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DonaldPM exactly what I needed
Bass Pro Shops,
You were the only place I could find the Savage .22 10 round magazines I wanted in stock. Even the Savage online store didn't have them. Having 4 preloaded magazines makes my time at the range more enjoyable.
Just today I was at the range with a .22 pistol, 9mm Glock, and a Savage .22 bolt action rifle. The magazines all worked as they were intended.

they will not, it is for the bolt action seriesAnswers
The mags for the 22 magnum should work just fine, since the 17 HMR is the same length as the 22 magnums. Like the Glock 40 S&W mags will work with the .357 Sig. Also with the magazines being only five and ten round there should not be a curvarture problem.Details:
Will this magazine fit a Savage 93r17, 17hmr rifleAnswers
the 93r17 uses a straight clip, these are for the mark IIAnswers
It fits the new Mark II BSEV for sure.Details:
Visually, the Savage magazine is similar to the Stevens and the stevens is also a bolt action, i just wanted to know if it would fit in a Stevens model 84C.Answers
yes i believe they will, but i would give savage a quick call. very nice people to deal withDetails:
cant find them on site was wondering if it was a in store itemAnswers
I have only seen them available from the savage store, i too have the same gun and the only place i saw themA:
bought my savage 17 hmr magazine online a few weeks ago from Bass pro be sure to indicate that you want the 17hmr/22win mag clip and not the 22long rifle. The 17hmr and the 22 win mag clip are the same thing, however much different from the 22 lr.1 of 1

Jan 26, 2013Three seasons later, Archer's still got it. Sterling and the other lovable and zany agents of Isis return and are as funny as ever. Expect many, many cameos and homages (including a great "Bob's Burgers" nod).
Sep 22, 2013Season 4 picks up again and introduces a few moments that genuinely made me laugh. Still no new characters but we get to learn a little bit more about some of the characters other than Archer himself and the season finale was one of the best so far. I'm looking forward to season 5.
Jan 24, 2013Still Archer, still awesome, still underrated. Some people just have a bug up their ass about animation. But get over it. Archer is probably one of the best shows in general. Just like Game of Thrones is a great drama. Just happens to be in a fantasy setting. Archer is a great comedy. Only exception I can think of is if someone does not like dry humor.
Jan 25, 2013Underrated FX jewel, the crisp dry humor of the show only becomes more remarkable, than played out, with smart references and rich stereotypes. Sterling Archer, though clearly the central character, doesn't overshadow his associates at ISIS, but each adds a dimension to the show with twisted relationships and hilarious personalities.
Jan 22, 2013Great season 4 start for Archer. Lots of super hero funny's which took me by surprise with the other craziness going on. Like SHAZAAAM!! I really wish the show was a hour long, but beggars cant be choosers.
Mar 28, 2013Doesn't get better than Archer. We are on the fourth season and it still rocks! This season's episode called Un Chien Tangerine is probably one of my favorite episodes of the series. This season has had a lot of Lana and Archer, which highlights their great banter. Also, love Pam, Cheryl and Mallory characters. Great show and still going strong.
The animated comedy returns in stronger comedic shape in its fourth season.
Archer, meanwhile, is all about the funny, and kicks off its fourth season of deranged spy parody.
For viewers, most of the jokes still click.

Ten congressmen penned a letter to Secretary Vilsack asking for assistance regarding the Livestock Indemnity Program (LIP).
As authorized by the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008, LIP was intended by Congress to ensure that livestock producers, when appropriate, could receive assistance for excess losses due to extreme weather conditions. In the interest of fiscal responsibility, LIP was also designed to begin the process of budgeting for agriculture disasters in the Farm Bill to avoid the delays and complications often associated with ad-hoc disaster programs. The authorization for LIP expired on Sept. 30, however, as the U.S. Department of Agriculture continues to consider claims for losses that occurred prior to Oct. 1, it is requested that there are considerations made.
During the course of the program, livestock producers have continued to share instances where LIP eligibility and reporting requirements were applied inconsistently among county and state Farm Service Agency (FSA) offices. Feedback from constituents included inconsistent standards for verifying losses after a disaster as well as confusion over eligibility requirements for LIP benefits from year to year. Producers want to provide the appropriate documentation for claims when available but these inconsistencies in policies have made it difficult to complete claims in a timely and orderly manner. For range losses in remote areas, there have also been instances in which producers, unable to immediately locate lost animals due to extreme blizzard or flooding conditions, were unable to qualify for LIP assistance.
In conclusion, the representatives said that in the future, they hope to work with the department to improve the program for range livestock operations as a reauthorization in considered.
Signators of the letter included Sens. Michael Enzi (Wyo.), Michael Bennet (Colo.), John Thune (S.D.), John Barrasso (Wyo.), Tim Johnson (S.D.) and Mark Udall (Colo.) and Reps. Cynthia Lummis (Wyo.), Scott Tipton (Colo.), Cory Gardner (Colo.) and Denny Rehberg (Mont.).
"The LIP has provided risk management for sheep producers in severe weather situations and is a priority to reauthorize in the next Farm Bill. We appreciate the Congressional leadership in support of this program, particularly as we need full eligibility for range operations by the Farm Services Agency," said Peter Orwick, American Sheep Industry Association executive director. "

Using a Pelican case for Ammunition
I'm hoping to use a locked Pelican case for my ammunition, seperate from the guns of course. I'll be flying a combination of Air Canada and SAA, from what I can tell, I'm in accordance however I've recently heard rumours of metal cases being required. Any thoughts?

As far as I know, you will be fine with a Pelican as it is lockable and not easily broken into.
Another piece of advice off topic would be to avoid Air Canada if you can. I don't know about you, but I really object to the extra fee they charge - both ways - for your firearm. I will not pay it and I have always been able to find a flight with another airline that does not penalize hunters with rifles.Skyline Adventures
