Caribou, the largest members of the reindeer family, migrate to this area in the summers. The route they take from the sheltered southern forests where they winter to the tundra of Labrador is over 600 miles (965 km) and it's not uncommon for herds to travel 1,864 miles (3,000 km) every year.
In the recent past, only fifteen or twenty years ago, herds of hundreds of thousands of caribou have been known to travel together, creating a spectacular sight. Their long journey, crossing rivers, forests, and plains, is one of the world's greatest large animal migrations. But in recent years the herds have decreased dramatically and experts have not yet been able to fully explain why.

Houzz is the new way to design your home.
162 Glen Ellen, CA Photographers
If you're thinking of selling or renting your Glen Ellen, CA house, hiring a home photographer can make a big difference between making money and just breaking even. Think about when you look at photos of homes online: If the lighting is terrible, the quality is poor and the listing provides very few photos, don't you subconsciously associate these bad qualities with the homeowner or renter? A home photographer helps with those challenges. More

The United States is held in high regard in Kosovo because of its role in supporting the former Serbian province's bid for independence. So, for many Kosovars, having a beefy American muscle car is a high sign of status. So much so that Kosovars living abroad, even in the U.S., often bring their cars home with them on vacation.

Recycling mandate 'with teeth' up for debate in Hooksett
The proposal would mandate recycling at the curbside and the town's recycling center, giving the department's superintendent teeth to ensure that recyclables are not disposed with regular trash.
"It would give me more control at the facility .... because it's not mandatory, I can't enforce anything. They just come in and they just dump," said Diane Boyce, superintendent of Hooksett's recycling and transfer station. "It's that 1 percent of the town that will not recycle at all."
How the policy would be implemented and enforced have not been finalized. Boyce has suggested a system where the first two offenses would elicit letters notifying the residents of a violation. On the third offense, the residents would potentially lose curbside service for a limited period of time. Fines have also been discussed.
The town council voted 5 to 2 on Jan. 9 to move the warrant onto the town ballot.
Councilor Todd Lizotte, however, who feels the policy was "not properly vetted," has stated his intent to remove the question from the ballot.
"I think the recycling department in town is top notch," he said.
"I just think that mandatory recycling is premature until we have a better understanding of what we can possibly achieve, versus an open-ended goal."
Lizotte's concerns include the difficulties in enforcement, ambiguities in what is considered a recyclable, the lack of a specific goal for the mandate, fears that a mandate could produce a resentment toward recycling, and a reluctance to "police people's lifestyle choices." He said that instead of a mandate, the town should emphasize education.
Boyce has argued, however, that the mandate will not place any recycling-waste ratio requirements on residents or entail any regular auditing. She said that the mandate would only be enforced against violators who are dumping items which are "obviously recyclable," and would not target residents who are trying but may have made a mistake.
Lizotte said a goal for overall recycling percentage should be offered, along with an understanding of how that goal can be met.
Boyce said she did not have a specific tonnage goal in mind and that Hooksett's recycling program was doing "very well" in its first year.
The next town council meeting will be today at 6:30 p.m. at the town hall.

Shane. Dale. Lori. Merle. Andrea… Need we go on? No character on The Walking Dead is ever safe. That much has been proven. But how would the still-living cast members like to see their characters go if and when their time comes? Well, there's only one way to find out. Ask them. So I did. Here's how many of The Walking Dead actors see their final moments on the show.
[NOTE & SPOILER ALERT: Some of these characters have already died in the comic book on which the show is based. A few of the actors may reference that, so if you do not want any clues as to who has died in the comic, then stop reading right now. But also keep in mind that the TV version often changes things dramatically. For instance, Hershel's beheading at the prison actually happened to a different character in the comic that is still alive and well on the TV show. So things don't always match up.] Okay, spoiler alert over. Now, let's find out how the cast would like their various demises to go down. Also note that Norman Reedus kind of cheats on his answer. CHEATER! READ FULL STORY

China smelters,
Peng Tao,
China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association,
Antaike Information Development
Feng Juncong
NANJING, China Chinese smelters should beware of rising capacity in recycled lead and zinc, an official of the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association (CNIA) said at the 2012 China Lead and Zinc Conference in Nanjing.
Output of recycled lead will account for about 35 percent of Chinas total lead output in 2012, while recycled zinc output has also posted a decent increase, Peng Tao, executive vice secretary-general of CNIAs lead and zinc branch, told delegates.
Chinas recycled lead output rose 15.7 percent year on year to 1.03 million tonnes in the first nine months of the year. During the same period, primary lead output rose by 8.2 percent to 2.49 million tonnes, according to data from Antaike Information Development Co. Ltd.
Recycled zinc production could reach 800,000 tonnes this year, with an annual capacity of about 1 million tonnes, Peng added.
This would represent a sharp increase from about 630,000 tonnes of recycled zinc output in 2011, according to data from the recycled metals branch of CNIA, which noted that recycled zinc currently accounts for about 11 percent of Chinas total refined zinc output vs. a global average ratio of about 30 percent.
The rising recycling capacity not only poses challenges to local smelters, but also will eventually impact Chinas appetite for concentrate imports amid limited growth in demand.
Output of local (zinc concentrate) miners and recycled zinc have almost satisfied local consumption (this year), Antaike chief analyst Feng Juncong said at the conference.
Thus far in 2012, Chinas monthly imports of zinc concentrate have been below 200,000 tonnes. July imports were as low as 111,000 tonnes, the lowest since February 2007, according to Chinese customs data.

The Future of Medicare Advantage: Are We on the Right Path?
This June 10 briefing looked at Medicare Advantage and changes affecting it, including revised calculations of payments from CMS, and the Affordable Care Act's reduced payments to Medicare Advantage plans. Speakers discussed how Medicare Advantage plans are expected to respond to payment changes; if quality bonus payments created significant changes in patient care or plan choices; and what implications could these decisions have on beneficiaries with regard to premiums, benefits and more.Event Read More
Adding an Out-of-Pocket Spending Maximum to Medicare: Implementation Issues and Challenges
In an effort to simplify Medicare's cost-sharing requirements, provide beneficiaries with catastrophic protection, and achieve program savings, some have proposed to restructure Medicare's benefit design. Several recent proposals would create a unified deductible for Medicare Parts A and B, simplify cost-sharing requirements above the deductible, and add an annual limit on beneficiary out-of-pocket spending—a benefit feature typical of larger employer plans, but lacking in traditional Medicare. This issue brief describes the options for adding an out-of-pocket spending limit to Medicare and examines the operational issues that could arise in implementing both a uniform and an income-based out-of-pocket spending limit. Because the implementation of an income-related out-of-pocket maximum would pose somewhat greater complexity for Medicare, the operational issues associated with this approach are discussed in greater detail.Issue Brief Read More

Atlus, publisher of the Trauma Center franchise, is bringing a fantasy strategy RPG to DS called Rondo of Swords.
The plot sounds like absolute nonsense, with a king dying mysteriously and a kingdom plunging into darkness and an evil army invading and only a magical sword can save the kingdom and restore peace to the land. Told you so.
However, the features sound quite promising. A deep party management system allows you to send your party members off on errands or go on quests to level up on their own, so you don't have to suffer the tedium of grinding through thousands of boars to get XP.
The game also includes multiple storylines and endings that are determined by your actions. Your decisions will apparently affect the character you become and the ending you receive.
How the game plays is still somewhat of a mystery though. The 'unique combat system' uses route maneuvers and momentum counters, whatever they are. And skills are not just skills, but "dynamic strategic devices that you choose to build or not." Your guess is as good as mine.
Rondo of Swords will be released on April 15 in the US and possibly Europe. We've contacted Atlus for confirmation on the release date and clarification of what the terminology babble above means, and are waiting for a reply.

Native Plants
Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?

Saturday - April 07, 2012
From: Houston, TX
Region: Southwest
Topic: Cacti and Succulents, Herbs/Forbs, Trees, Wildflowers
Title: Native plants of Taos and Los Alamos NM from Houston
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Hi, Mr. Smarty Plants, can you recommend a guidebook for the native plants of the Taos/Los Alamos region? (I'm most interested in forbs.) I'll be headed there in May--is there anything I should especially look for? Thanks very much.
We recommend that you begin with the Native Plant Society of New Mexico. Here is the website for the Taos Chapter; they are planning a Discovery Hike for May 12, and we suggest you contact them as soon as possible and inquire about guesting on that. This is a list of books you can order. You might try searching Amazon for some of these books, if you find a title that interests you, but the address of the member in charge of books, with a web address is included on that website. We found only one website that specifically dealt with the area you are interested in: Native Plants of Northern New Mexico; unfortunately, when we looked at it, many of the plants listed were non-natives, apparently more for the purpose of gardeners in that area than for botanical study.
Go to our Native Plant Database, and search on New Mexico, which will give you 2,207 results. From that list, you can sort on the sidebar on the righthand side of the page for types of plants, such as tree, shrub or forbs under General Appearance. When we searched on forbs (herbs), we got 1,285 results.If it is in our Native Plant Database, it is native to North America. You can check on our website whether it is native to Northern New Mexico. Follow any plant link from your selection of New Mexico plants to our webpage on that plant, go to the bottom of the page to "Search USDA Plants for (name of plant) and it will take you to a map that that will show states where that plant grows naturally in green. Click on New Mexico (if it's green) and you will get a map of the state with counties where the plant grows in green. You no doubt know that Taos County is on the north central border with Colorado, and Los Alamos County is directly south.
You can use those techniques to establish what on the Northern New Mexico list is native, and make sure that the natives you locate are growing in those two counties. At the same location at the bottom of the webpage on each plant webpage there is a link to Google on that plant. That can give you an opportunity to get more information on the plant, perhaps view some pictures we do not have in our Native Plant Image Gallery.
Otherwise, your best bet for a booklet of the sort you are looking for is probably a bookstore or gift shop in the hotel in Taos. Have a wonderful trip!

Our holiday music picks
We asked staff members of Classical Minnesota Public Radio to select outstanding holiday discs -- and their choices ranged from "Nutcracker" to Christopher Rouse.
2001: A chat with Pavarotti
Opera great Luciano Pavarotti made a stop in St. Paul in 2001, during his 40th anniversary tour. MPR's Rex Levang spoke with Pavarotti prior to that performance.

Take the Opera Challenge
During Saturday matinees at New York's Metropolitan Opera, it's safe to say, most of the audience is paying attention to the travails of Tosca, Siegfried, or Manon Lescaut. But there's a small group, sitting in a special box, whose thoughts are elsewhere. They're the panelists on the venerable Opera Quiz, and this season, for the first time, one of them will come from Minnesota Public Radio.
Copland: 10 x 10
Over the years, Aaron Copland has been hailed as the quintessential American composer by everyone from Leonard Bernstein, who said, "He's the best we've got," to director Spike Lee, who paid musical tribute to Copland in his films. November 2000 marks the centenary of his birth - 100 years of Copland. To mark the occasion, we've come up with 10 nuggets about 10 aspects of the composer - 100 audio clips, anecdotes, quotes, and more.
From Russia with controversy
An amiable, modest public figure or a morbidly sensitive, possibly suicidal, neurotic? Such are the conflicting images of Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky, whose birthday we celebrate this month. Though the popularity of his music is undisputed, the picture of Tchaikovsky the man has been anything but. Alexander Poznansky, a Russian music scholar at Yale, has taken a fresh look at this complex personality in "Tchaikovsky Through Others' Eyes" (University of Indiana Press, 1999) - a fascinating account of his life and career collected from the diaries of people closest to him.
The St. Matthew Passion
Sometime in the Middle Ages, Christian churches began observing Holy Week by retelling the story of Christ's crucifixion in music. Those beginnings were simple�Bible verses set to simple chant melodies�but eventually they would culminate in one of the most ambitious musical compositions of all time. When J. S. Bach came to write his St. Matthew Passion in the 1720s, the passion, as a musical form, had grown to allow orchestra, choirs, and non-scriptural choruses and arias. But even by the standard of the Baroque passion, the Passion According to St. Matthew is exceptional for its musical richness and its grand scope.
Copland: 10 x 10
Over the years, Aaron Copland has been hailed as the quintessential American composer by everyone from Leonard Bernstein, who said, "He's the best we've got," to director Spike Lee, who paid musical tribute to Copland in his films. November 2000 marks the centenary of his birth - 100 years of Copland. To mark the occasion, we've come up with 10 nuggets about 10 aspects of the composer - 100 audio clips, anecdotes, quotes, and more.
Classical Ghastlies
Can you recommend some pieces of Halloween music? Some real scary ones? And so in that spirit, from the world of classical music, we bring you a passel of quirky, ghoulish and upsetting lore about the people who created it. But be warned. There are no peeled grapes here. Everything you will read here is, as far as can be ascertained, quite true. If you prefer to think of Beethoven as a master musician who made important advances in the treatment of symphonic form, you may want to turn back at this point. But if you're curious who got hold of his skull in 1888. . . .
Erik Satie: Springtime in Paris
The cultural rebelliousness lit by Jean Cocteau and driven by Erik Satie spawned the next batch of eccentrics from which Les Six, a new musical avant-garde led by Satie and consisting of Darius Milhaud, Francis Poulenc, Arthur Honegger, Louis Durey, Germaine Tailleferre, and Georges Auric, was born. Many of their early works were good-naturedly Dadaist and make witty use of quotation and parody, popular music-hall style as well as jazz - a self-consciously simple style reacting against both Romanticism and Impressionism.
Handel's Messiah
It's a scenario that plays out every year, and one in which you yourself may have been an observer, or even a participant. The audience is assembled in the concert hall, or church, or school auditorium. The orchestra tunes, the conductor appears, the conversations come to a halt, there is a welcoming round of applause. The orchestra strikes up a brief, vigorous overture. Then the tenor soloist rises to his feet and intones the opening words, "Comfort ye, comfort ye my people" - and another performance of Handel's Messiah is underway.
Antonin Dvorak: Maestro in the Midwest
ANTON�N DVOR�K started life as the son of a peasant in the provinces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and ended it as one of the most famous musicians in the world, whose pieces were eagerly received by audiences in the capitals of Europe and America. And there can't be too many American music lovers, especially in the Midwest, who haven't thought about retracing some of the steps of the remarkable journey that Dvorák took to the United States in the 1890s.
A Hitchcock Musical Mystery
When you think about music and film directors, Alfred Hitchcock might not be the first name to come to mind. Stanley Kubrick was a greater recycler of classical music, Quentin Tarantino has done the same for Motown, Bergman and Zeffirelli have filmed more operas - and the list could continue. But Hitchcock has his share of big music moments. As the film world commemorates his 100th birthday on Friday, August 13, heres a chance to see how many you can identify.
Joaquin Rodrigo: Spanish composer for the guitar
JOAQUIN RODRIGO, the Spanish composer who died July 6, 1999, at the age of 97, was a rarity among contemporary composers�a composer who was not only respected, but beloved. His compositions, with their bright instrumentation and vivid evocations of Spain, won the affections of music lovers all over the world, and one of them, the "Concierto de Aranjuez," became the most popular guitar concerto ever written.

How sad that Peachtree City Mayor Don Haddix was summarily fired from the Atlanta Regional Commission roundtable for suggesting that Fayette County should consider joining the Three Rivers Regional Commission instead.
If not applauded for his courageous, "out-of-the-box" thinking, at least he should have been heard, especially since it affects our pocketbooks. Instead, he was politically "lynched."
I don't know if his idea is a good one or not, but such creative thinking is rare, and deserving of thoughtful debate in the newspapers and on the street.

There are many objects in the sky you can see with your unaided eyes, but these are only a small fraction of the objects you can see if you use a telescope.
A telescope makes these invisible objects visible in two ways: by making dim objects appear brighter, and by making small objects appear bigger.
First, how does a telescope make dim objects appear brighter?
Every telescope has a primary lens or a primary mirror that gathers light from the object being viewed. The diameter of the lens or mirror is called its aperture. The bigger the lens or mirror — the larger its aperture — the more light it gathers.
An object viewed in a telescope with an eight-inch aperture will appear brighter than when viewed in a six-inch aperture. The aperture determines the brightness of the object, not the amount of magnification.
The lens or mirror, which is also known as the objective, is shaped so that it bends the light to concentrate it and to form an image of the object being viewed.
The distance between the objective and the image is known as the focal length, and the location where the image forms is called the focal plane.
If you place a sheet of paper at the focal plane, you can see this image, but it is small. To be useful, this image needs to be magnified.
The second way a telescope makes objects visible is by making them appear bigger. How does it do this?
In addition to the primary lens or mirror, every telescope also has a second lens, called the eyepiece. The eyepiece works like a magnifying glass.
The objective forms the small image at the focal plane, and the eyepiece is positioned so that it magnifies this image, making the object appear bigger when viewed through the eyepiece.
Different eyepieces magnify the images by different amounts, so the eyepiece that is used determines the magnification of the telescope, and by changing the eyepiece you can change the magnification of the telescope.
The eyepiece's focal length determines its magnification; a shorter focal length produces higher magnification.
We have seen that the objective of a telescope can be either a lens or a mirror. If a telescope uses a lens to collect the light, it is called a refractor; if it uses a mirror, it is called a reflector.
In a refractor, the lens refracts, or bends, the light to form the image at the focal plane. In the simplest form of refractor, the light travels in a straight line, with the objective lens in the front and the eyepiece at the back.
The refracting telescope was invented in the Netherlands in the early seventeenth century and is the type of telescope used by Galileo to make the first astronomical observations.
But these early refractors had serious problems. Light of different colors is bent a different amount by the objective lens, so the image for each color forms at a different distance from the lens. This creates a fuzzy image.
Another problem is the light has to pass through the lens, so the clarity of the lens also affects the clarity of the image.
Both of these problems are solved if the lens is replaced with a mirror.
In 1672 Isaac Newton designed and built the first reflecting telescope. In a reflector, the light enters the front of the telescope and is reflected by a primary (objective) mirror located at the back of the scope.
The mirror is curved so as to produce an image at the focal plane in front of the mirror.
In Newton's design, a flat secondary mirror inside the telescope intercepts the reflected light and turns the beam 90 degrees so it exits through the side of the telescope. The eyepiece is mounted at this exit point on the side of the scope.
Today most large optical telescopes use this design.
You can now purchase both refracting and reflecting commercial telescopes to view the faint and small objects in the sky that cannot be seen with your unaided eyes.
The quality of these scopes varies along with the price, but with all the modern improvements, any telescope you buy today will be much better than the ones used by Galileo and Newton.
Marty Scott is the astronomy instructor at Walla Walla University, and also builds telescopes and works with computer simulations. He can be reached at email@example.com.
