Get rid of those keepers
Published March 26, 2014
A Denmark zoo that earned international condemnation for killing a healthy giraffe last month has euthanized four African lions.
The Copenhagen Zoo put down a 16-year-old male lion, a 14-year-old lioness, and two young lions this week to make way for a new male lion from the Givskud Zoo, also in Denmark.
"The change in the lion pride had to happen now because Copenhagen Zoo currently has two young females from the 2012 litter and it is ideal to keep these as part of the new pride and then find a suitable male," the zoo wrote in a Wednesday statement on its website.
"If the Zoo had not made the change in the pride now then we would have risked that the old male would mate with these two females—his own offspring—and thereby give rise to inbreeding," the statement says.
What's more, the 14-year-old lioness was too old to give birth and raise another litter without complications, the zoo said. (Read more about zoos and saving rare species in National Geographic magazine.)
The news quickly reverberated across the globe, with 10,000 stories as of Wednesday and Twitter abuzz with people expressing shock and disgust.
The U.S. Association of Zoos and Aquariums did not respond to requests for comment about zoo euthanasias, but the organization said in a February statement that "incidents of that sort do not happen at AZA-accredited zoos and aquariums for several reasons."
That's because those facilities carefully manage breeding programs and exchange animals between institutions as needed, according to the AZA website.
But the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) noted in a statement that the Copenhagen Zoo "has not broken any of its codes of conduct."
Still, by Wednesday morning, 49,000 people had signed a petition on the environmental advocacy website Care2.org entitled "Tell Copenhagen Zoo to Stop Killing Healthy Animals!"
Don't believe for a second there weren't any offers to re-home the four healthy lions put down by Copenhagen Zoo! 😡

It makes me want to go to Copenhagen just so that I could say I DID NOT go to the zoo there.— Betty (@BarzhDu) March 26, 2014
EAZA said that the Copenhagen Zoo "has been consistent in its approach to animal population management, and high standards of animal welfare.
"As a result, while EAZA regrets the death of the animals in question, we recognize the right of Copenhagen Zoo to humanely cull them in line with their policies," the statement continued.
Giraffe Death Sparked Outrage
The Copenhagen Zoo's killing and public dismemberment last month of a healthy giraffe that the facility had named Marius also sparked outrage on social media.
The news even prompted death threats against zoo staff, and was seen by some animal lovers as a provocative response to a campaign to spare the giraffe's life in the days and hours leading up to his death. (See "Opinion: Killing of Marius the Giraffe Exposes Myths About Zoos.")
An online petition asking the Copenhagen Zoo to hold off on killing its unwanted giraffe until another home could be found had received tens of thousands of signatures from around the world. Wildlife parks in Britain, Sweden, and the Netherlands had offered to take Marius off the zoo's hands.
"When breeding success increases it is sometimes necessary to euthanize," Bengt Holst, Copenhagen Zoo's scientific director, said in a February 9 statement on their giraffe's death.
"We see this as a positive sign and as insurance that we in the future will have a healthy giraffe population in European zoos."
i hope people stop going to that zoo. asap.
So much for the "morally superior" Europeans, or rather, in this case, the Danes! Like some criminals' claims of innocence, the this zoo's claim of correct conduct are not credible.
Wow. What outrage for the dismemberment of a living being and the euthenasia of four others instead of finding them a new home. Sounds vaguely familiar. Just replace it with human lives and reverse your stance. It seems the zoo has CHOICE here. The animals and millions of innocent babies do not.
Respect all life. Sad situation indeed.
very inhumane. should have given another zoo or put back in the wild. funds would have been raised to put them back in the wild
Is this the zoos definition of conservation of a species. Why are there not more efforts put forth by these "breeding programs" to return these animals back to the wild instead of being caged up to be gawked at by the public? At least the two young lions could have had a chance and if they died in their natural habitat that is what nature is all about. It sickens me that through all the efforts zoos put to helping a species they would rather kill a healthy animal than to find more appropriate alternative. These European zoos are not God but they certainly are playing him.
what the f...k?
Does breeding success have to be a death sentence for the current zoo residence? I'm sure many zoos across the world would love to have the animals. Going forward I hope Copenhagen Zoo will only use euthanasia for the very ill and severly injured animals at the zoo.
It makes no sense that they killed FOUR lions to save only ONE lion!!! That is just ridiculous!!!!
Are you kidding me!! These people have no mercy!! First the giraffe now the FOUR lions!!! THERE CRAZY!!!
Muessen wir wirklich immer gott spielen?
GOOD LORD!!!! What the heck is wrong with people these days!!!! Anyone in the right mind would realize there is something morally corrupt about these incidents. Sure, the zoo can come up with whatever excuse floats their twisted boat and the media's, but either way, they did something utterly sickening and cruel and someone needs to knock some sense into those blockheads!!!!!!
Everyone in that zoo should lose their jobs. The animals should be moved. And anyone be they individuals or governments that support the zoo should be ashamed and voted out at the next election
They could think of no other way? Oh, please!!! How ridiculous and barbaric...and to allow the public to witness the lions feasting on the corpse of the giraffe......OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
I think there should be sanctions imposed against the Copenhagen Zoo. As a breeder of dogs, I always found good homes for my breeding stock when they were either too old or genetically unsafe to use. I'm shocked and truly disgusted by the actions of this zoo.
I wish we could finally get some sort of answer as to why European zoos consider it ethical to breed animals they know are "surplus" and will not need. It seems as though it would be more economical and ethical to prevent surplus animals like Marius and the two lion cubs. It's cynical, but I wonder if it's more economical to them to have baby animals in the zoo to get visitors, then just kill them when they become inconvenient?
That spokespersons have said Americans just don't understand because we "Disney-fy" our animals unfortunately makes it sound like the killing of Marius was indeed intended to be provocative. Coupled with the zoo refusing to home Marius the giraffe elsewhere, I'm concerned about the EAZA's protocols, and hate having these concerns dismissed without answer.
Ridiculous, and morally wrong in SO many ways! Will never visit the Copenhagen Zoo!
There is definitely NO EXCUSE for these murders!!!
India has cow shelters to settle old & abandoned cows & families in private philanthropic ashrams, hope zoo authorities can have similar arrangement for these destitute animals for their welfare. Public contribution can solve the financial constrains . The act is no less than poaching of near extinct species. But who will bell the cat?
higly condenable CRIME.those who responsble MUST be booked and given maximum punishment.Ramasamy sadhu.
This is what the Nazis would have done.
Seriously? And we still sponsor Zoo's in Europe?
Only a century ago, there were as many as 200,000 wild lions in Africa. Today, the latest surveys estimate that there are fewer than 30,000.
What I would like to know is WHY animal life is less valuable (I n human minds that is) than human life?? There are many ways to have rehomed these beautiful animals. If they had been human they would have been spared at all costs, useful or not. It sickens me.
I am shocked! Why not try to re-locate the male lions??? Why KILL such magnificent creatures? I do not understand this at all, nor do i understand HOW this could have happened. :(
What a horrible sin ,Shame on Copenhagan
What a horrable crime.Shame on you Copenhagan
What about a Copenhagen zoo's staff culling, done by the lions ?
Anyone who has a problem with controlling the breeding in the artificial environment of a zoo must be against the whole concept of animals kept in captivity.
And I hope those who disapprove of killing zoo animals never eat meat or consume other products created from slaughtered animals
What can one expect from a Country that slaughters Dolphins until the sea is awash with blood !
Animals are culled naturally in the wild. People have to make choices about culling when natural culling doesn't take place. Of course, it's not a pleasant thing.
one more reason why animals don't belong in zoos. In the wild they don't mate with their offspring
Here in Denmark nobody I meet finds this controversial. The giraffe was in week 7. That week is school holiday and that gave parents a possibility to bring their children to the event. The same week you could have seen a wolf or a badger being dissected in other zoos.
Week 42 is another week of school holiday. I guess we will have similar possibilities that week as well.
We find the lives of pigs, cattle and chickens for food production much more interesting to discuss. In that discussion the behavior of the zoos seems very responsible.
What the hell is wrong with the people running the zoo??? Are y'all out of your freakin' MINDS???
Those who work at the zoo, those who made the executive decisions, and those who let this happen are all HEATHENS!!!!
This is disgusting! This zoo needs to be shut down and the animals need to be transferred to a new facility that will protect them. I am sick to my stomach and appalled from reading this.
People are missing a significant point here: they didn't just kill animals they KILLED AND DISMEMBERED AND FED a giraffe to the lions in full view of the public. Sorry if finding a rescue for these undesirables was too much work. Stop being so fecking lazy.
Disgusting and deplorable! Generally, zoos are already deplorable places for animals. It breaks my heart to visit some of them and see such unhappy, demoralized creatures stuck in cages. For staff to have no compassion for the individual animals is disgusting. The zoo should be closed and animals transferred to other facilities where the animal's dignity will be respected. Killing these animals is shameful. There were many other alternatives, and as someone else stated, the management seems money oriented without any real regard for an animal's welfare. These wild animals that give up their freedom so people can see and learn about them deserve much better. Close the zoo!
Euthanase is completely the wrong word here - the zoo has killed beautiful, magnificent, rare, healthy animals - this is what trophy hunters and poachers do.
It's quite clearly nothing to do with the zoo's breeding program and everything to do with its budget and some kind of horrible, rationalist, inflexible personality type who will not allow his / her decisions to be modified.
While it may or may not have a successful breeding program and may or may not be contributing to the survival of endangered species, this zoo should certainly not be allowed to continue the revolting practice of killing healthy animals. It is an abomination.
You can rationalise anything if you want...... lets be honest here, most of these decisions are made for financial reasons, and Zoos simply don't understand the ethics of real care which more often than not involve substantial financial costs without monetary return.... In the end Zoos are just sick places that play God all the time with their poor animals
I guess the people of Copenhagen will be next to be euthanize to prevent inbreading.
If you read through this account, it is not the Zoo, so much, which is culpable. The European Association of Zoos and Aquaria has rules but states:
"As a result, while EAZA regrets the death of the animals in question, we recognize the right of Copenhagen Zoo to humanely cull them in line with their policies," the statement continued.
The death of these animals has caused "regret within the EAZA."???
Petition the EAZA to set higher stanards for breeding Zoos in Europe.
A petition to this Zoo will have no more "TEETH" than the regrets of the EAZA.
These are professionals who don't have concerns about Culling healthy animals to curb inbreeding.
They need to be held to a higher standard and to oversight when they step so far out of bounds.
I believe the current terminology used in human populations is Ethnic Cleansing to make it seem less objectionable. Sort of like culling, but for a different purpose.
Zoos are gaols and all the inmates are on death row
Bengt Holst, Copenhagen Zoo's scientific director is an idiot. All the all animals there should be transported someplace else (out of Copenhagen) and that zoo should be closed down. So sad.
It is the easy way not the best way to solve the problem. Lazy and disgusting.
If the zoo knows that it is not viable to breed the animals that they already have, and risk interbreeding, why not sterilise them, or at least supply some form of birth control? Would it not be wise to have a database of zoo 'vacancies' BEFORE having the animals reproduce? In the case of the giraffe, the poor creature was allowed to grow big enough - after being introduced to the public - before being killed to provide meat for the lions! I wonder what happened to the lion carcases - were they fed to other meat-eaters?! Maybe the next step will be to incorporate gardens in the zoo, to make the whole enterprise self-sufficient - meat, fruit and vegetables to cater for all diets.....?
So sad!!!!!!
It is truly sickening to learn that EAZA allows and condones the destruction and murder of animals in European zoos just because they are no longer able to produce a litter or as an easy and cheap way to keep their breeding mills operating at top efficiency. Isn't there something in a mission statement somewhere that zoos function as educational institutions and should respect and honor the lives of animals in their care? That should trump killing any animal due to age, reproductive capacity or habitat availability! What Copenhagen Zoo is doing is horrific and they should be shut down until they can act with more humane practices.
@Bridge Mapangdol I agree with you.
@Joyce Oliveras yes it is
@CAROL LAMBERT I'm relatively certain that most shelters carry neither giraffes nor lions

Miconazole nitrate is basically an effective anti fungal cream, which can be used for the treatment of various skin infections such as athlete's foot, ringworm, vaginal yeast infection and jock itch. Fungal infections are associated with severe itching and cause a lot of irritation. A few types of fungi can easily spread to various parts of the body.
Miconazole nitrate cream helps to destroy the fungi by puncturing the membranes of the cells. When the cells are damaged, the cream penetrates into the cell and causes the fungi to die. With this, it also puts a halt to the multiplication of the fungi and to the further spreading of the infection. A large number of over the counter miconazole nitrate creams consist of approximately 2% active ingredient which is mixed with a number of other inactive ingredients and ingredients which help to relief itching.
How to Use Miconazole Nitrate Cream
Ringworm can also be treated using miconazole nitrate. You need to apply a thin layer on the affected area twice everyday. If the cream still does not help to completely cure your infection, then you should immediately consult your physician. Use miconazole nitrate for treatment of fungus.
As far as athlete's foot and jock itch are concerned, all you need to do is to apply a thin layer of miconazole nitrate on to the area affected by the fungi everyday in the morning and also at night. You should keep applying the cream till the infection has been cured.
Vaginal Yeast Infection
If you are looking for miconazole nitrate cream for treating vaginal yeast infection, then you can purchase it as a topical cream which often comes with a combination pack. It also comes in suppository which you are required to insert into the vagina before going to bed every day till the medication has been completely used. All you need to do is to apply a small amount of the cream outside the vulva on the affected skin twice everyday. You should continue to use the medication until the infection has disappeared.
Side Effects of Miconazole Nitrate
There are no serious miconazole nitrate cream side effects. Some patients may experience itching, stinging and irritation in the treated area. Redness, swelling and tenderness to touch may also be present. In some cases, bumps that closely resemble pimples may occur. Flaking of the skin within the treated area is also possible. Often these symptoms occur as part of the healing process and are generally not dangerous. Still, if they persist and cause great discomfort, you should definitely consult your physician.
Side effects such as the appearance of blisters and open sores and oozing occur very rarely. However, they are more serious and require timely medical attention. Do not hesitate to call your doctor if you experience any of these side effects. This medication is not known to cause allergic reactions. However, all individuals are different and some may experience an allergic reaction after the application of the medication. The symptoms include swelling of the face, tongue and throat, dizziness, skin rash and trouble breathing. If you experience any of them, you should seek medical help immediately.

About a week before Christmas I got an email from Laura. She explained that she lives in Kansas, but her parents live in Greenacres (one town over.) She wondered if it would be possible for me to help her surprise her dear friend Margaret. Margaret loved Simple Scrapbooks magazine, loves BPS and loves my blog.
Laura and her husband (who is currently serving our country in the Armed Services *thank you*) dropped by my house. We enjoyed a short visit and it was an absolute treat to meet her. I gave her a handful of goodies and sent her on her way.
After Christmas I received this photo in an email from Laura, thanking me for my time. I received this photo from Margaret on the very same day.
This is Margaret, her daughter and her dog in her scrapbook corner.
When I read the email and then stopped on this photo, I started crying! I know I'm emotional, but still I was caught off guard. It wasn't my time of the month and I was in total work mode, cruising through email. I paused and thought about these big, fat happy tears. I'm pretty sure I was crying because …
- there are friends like Laura in the world.
- Laura and Margaret think it is cool to have something signed by me.
- because there are women (like Margaret & Laura) that have made space in their homes and in their lives for being creative and honoring memories.
I'm pretty sure I was crying big, fat, happy tears mostly because this little girl (and her dog) who are quite mistakenly in the photo are living in an environment overflowing with the awareness and the gratitude and the happiness that creative women inspire.
Do me a HUGE favor and have someone take a picture of you in your creative space this weekend.
Then look at it and let the happy tears flow!
Thanks Laura!

Google is changing - this means marketers must change as well
With Google expected to reveal strong fourth quarter results later today (30 January), and a slew of recent acquisitions in the bag, Paul Carysforth, head of media and analytics at Amaze, examines how marketers should handle the search giant over the coming months and years.
Pic: Colin Stout
Question: What was Google's challenge back in 1997?
Answer: how to identify the most relevant answer for a person's online search, from a seemingly infinite amount of online content – in seconds. Predecessors had struggled with the relevancy issue. Google's secret was to recognise the inherent human relationships between the pieces of content.
Those with the most links (human interest) would more often than not be the most relevant. It was a function that effectively tapped into the sociability of the web, way before Facebook was even a glimmer in Mark Zuckerberg's eye.
Moving forward 10 to 15 years, Google is still focused on using human signals in its data to help hone its solutions.
Google is still focused on using human signals in its data to help hone its solutions.
What were the motivations behind many of the algorithm updates of the last few years? They were purely used to eradicate those artificial signals that misdirected its algorithm away from the truth or from natural human behaviour signals.
Key examples of this include buying links, stuffing a site with keywords that make content unnatural (if we're going back a few years) or duplicating content. All of the above generate noise that could ultimately destroy Google's human relevancy.
So, what does all this tell us? Well let's take one last look back. In April 2000, Google announced the 'MentalPlex': Google's ability to read your mind. At the time it kick-started their elaborate April Fool's Day hoaxes, which have continued every year, but I think this actually tapped into a long-term aspiration. Google Zeitgeist is a current reflection of this aspiration, portraying itself as a mirror to people and to society. It needs to use its data to be at the cutting edge of cultural trends.
So, could Google really read your mind at some point in the future? So far this has only been a human trait and requires us to balance multiple factors such as time or place, a good understanding of the individual and a good sense of intuition. So could it be machine learned too?
An interesting area of work currently within the field of neuroscience is 'Thought Identification'. To date, this is concentrated on neuroimaging of brain patterns, but theoretically this is just one type of data. Google has more global behavioural data than anyone and its monumental rise is borne out of correlating it effectively (its original linking algorithm). Based on that, it isn't a big jump.
So let's look at Google's plans
Google has just bought Nest and will undoubtedly buy other cloud-based data services focused on human behavior. Nest ultimately is interested in understanding how people behave inside their homes. Google knows it needs to be the lead player in the Internet of Things and knows it needs to focus on utility.
Context, context, context
Context couldn't be more important for understanding people; firstly in mobile – right time/right place marketing. Just look at Enhanced Campaigns for Adwords that offers a revolution in how you can segment your campaigns geographically and by proximity. Schema is all about asking site owners to label the context behind content and making the site owners do it by offering them goodies like rich snippets. Clever.
Connecting the dots
It is vital that brands invest in technology companies that focus on the Internet of Things. Google is, so it's probably a safe bet.
Google is also now truly focused on having consumers identifying themselves across all their connected devices. This provides Google with a whole new armoury of insight into cross device behaviour crucial in a multi-screen world. Universal Analytics is their solution for this in the analytics world.
The Hummingbird
Last year's algorithm update focuses on conversational search and the meaning behind a user's search. This will continue to be a major focus.
Google Now for mobile
Intent on delivering relevant content recommendations such as alerting you to traffic jams at 5pm because it knows your route home and your schedule. Mobile will be at the heart of everything moving forward.
So what does all this mean for you as the marketer? First and foremost, it is vital that you invest in technology companies that focus on the Internet of Things. Google is, so it's probably a safe bet for you to do this too.
Equally, focusing on understanding your customer better will be key. You can do this through data to provide relevant and useful content; this is Google's mantra and they've done pretty well so far.
You also need to make sure that you follow the principle of relevancy in your customer communications – quality over quantity and, as such, a budget for content strategy should be at the top of your list. Make sure you also review your KPI's and stop assessing individual device effectiveness. This is out of date. Get moving with Universal Analytics or a similar technology instead.

Looks to be a good stacked field of ultra-endurance super freaks. Most of the names are unkown outside of this little world of ultra racing.....but it should make for a good race. For me, I am shooting for a sub 15 hour finishing time. Of course, weather will play a huge role. There has been some small chit-chat about rain and/or snow. Dang.
You can follow along on the Vapor Trail website....

No. 5 GREEN BAY PACKERS (11-5) at No. 4 ARIZONA CARDINALS (10-6)
Kickoff: Jan. 10, 4:40 PM EST, in Glendale, Ariz.
To the winner: A game against No. 1 New Orleans Saints (13-3) or No. 2 Minnesota Vikings (12-4) in the divisional round next week.
Players with Latin American ties: Arizona: Cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, of Haitian decent, is one of the league's top young players at his position, as he finished the regular season with 50 tackles and six interceptions en route to making the Pro Bowl. Green Bay: Safety Atari Bigby, born in Kingston, Jamaica, finished the regular season with 49 tackles and four interceptions and emerged as one of the most consistent players on one of the league's top defenses.
What you need to know: Arizona: The Cardinals' offense isn't as explosive as you'd think with Pro Bowl-caliber receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin, the latter of whom is reeling from a knee injury. The two-time defending NFC West Division champions averaged 23.4 points and 344.4 yards per game – solid numbers, but both outside the top 10 in the league in each category during the regular season. "It's a crazy game sometimes," Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner told the Associated Press. "It's like anything in life. You get to a point and you think, 'OK, maybe now we're there.' And then you find out you're not quite there yet."
Green Bay: The Packers, who earned the top wild card, have the league's second-best defense and defeated the Cardinals, 33-7, last week in a game that was meaningless because both teams already had qualified for the playoffs. Green Bay, in its first year under defensive coordinator Dom Capers, is allowing just 18.6 points and 284.4 yards per game. "You watch what they do, you watch how they approach things, you look at players, you see them up close and personal, and you understand you have your work cut out for you," Warner told the Associated Press.
Keep an eye on: Arizona: Fitzgerald. One of the game's best receivers took the postseason by storm last year, averaging 136.5 yards per game and scoring seven touchdowns to lead his team to the Super Bowl. But this fall, he saw his production drop by 400 yards even though he caught a career-high 13 touchdown passes.
Green Bay: Ryan Grant. The running back emerged as the season progressed, as he finished seventh in the league during the regular season with 1,253 yards and 11 touchdowns. But in the past three games, he's rushed for 185 yards and four touchdowns on just 35 carries. If Grant finds running room, the balance he brings to the offense is tremendous.
The game likely comes down to: Arizona finding offensive rhythm. The unit mustered a meager seven points last week and has struggled to find consistency throughout the regular season. The Cardinals have scored fewer than 10 points twice in the past four games. Green Bay's defense is great and should do just enough to end the defending NFC champions' season.
No. 6 PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (11-5) at No. 3 DALLAS COWBOYS (11-5)
Kickoff: Jan. 9, 8 PM EST, in Arlington, Texas
To the winner: A game against No. 1 New Orleans Saints (13-3) or No. 2 Minnesota Vikings (12-4) in the divisional round next week.
Players with Latin American ties: Philadelphia: Max Jean-Gilles, who was born in Haiti, was inserted into the starting lineup at right guard last month after the team moved several players to compensate for an injury to starting center Jamaal Jackson. Cowboys: None.
What you need to know: Philadelphia: The Eagles, who earned the second – and final – wild card, shine in the postseason. Since Andy Reid took over as coach in 1999, the team has made the playoffs seven times, advancing to the NFC Championship five times and never failing to win its opening game of the postseason.
Dallas: 1996. That's the last time the Cowboys, the NFC East Division champions, won a postseason game. During that stretch, only the Bengals, Browns and Lions have failed to win a playoff game. Oh, yeah, Coach Wade Phillips also is 0-4 all-time in the postseason.
Keep an eye on: Philadelphia: Brian Westbrook. The versatile running back entered the season regarded as one of the league's top players. But several injuries and a concussion sidelined the star for stretches during the regular season, limiting him to just 455 yards of offense and two touchdowns. "I think it's important for me to get some opportunities in the game," Westbrook told PhiladelphiaEagles.com. "Hopefully, I can help out here and there, whatever situations coach gives me. We still need to be able to run the ball and catch the ball with everybody as well."
Dallas: Tony Romo. The quarterback, a third-generation Mexican-American, is known for his postseason blunders and 0-2 record as a starter. Romo has thrown for just 390 yards and completed just 53.8% of his passes in those losses. "This ballclub has done a good job of putting its best foot forward when it has to," Romo told the Associated Press. "We haven't arrived and we haven't accomplished anything. This is a step in the process to continue to get to where we want to go."
The game likely comes down to: The Cowboys are just better. Dallas won both regular season meetings against the Eagles this year, including a 24-0 victory to clinch their second division title in three years last week. Nineteen times in NFL history a team has had a chance to beat another three times in a season – 12 times it closed the deal.
No. 5 NEW YORK JETS (9-7) at No. 4 CINCINNATI BENGALS (10-6)
Kickoff: Jan. 9, 4:30 PM EST, in Cincinnati, Ohio
To the winner: A game against No. 1 Indianapolis Colts (14-2) or No. 2 San Diego Chargers (13-3) in the divisional round next week.
Players with Latin American ties: New York: Quarterback Mark Sánchez is a third-generation Mexican-American who has emerged as a sporting icon for Mexico after thriving in New York as a rookie, throwing for 2,444 yards with 12 touchdowns against 20 interceptions. Cincinnati: None.
What you need to know: Cincinnati: The Bengals can't score consistently. Cincinnati, which won the AFC Central Division, enters the postseason with the worst offense of any playoff team, averaging a meager 19 points and just under 310 yards per game. In a season-ending, 37-0 loss to the Jets in which the Bengals played many of their backups, the team had a terrible 72 yards of total offense. "There have been ups and downs for this team," Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco told the Associated Press. "Our offense has struggled all season long, but we've found ways to win."
New York: The Jets, who earned the top wild card, play better defense than anyone. The team allows an NFL-low 14.8 points and 252.3 yards per game. The group relies on blitzing and complex schemes that Coach Rex Ryan employed in Baltimore, where he served as the Ravens' defensive coordinator the previous few seasons. "You can throw everything out that happened in the regular season," Jets linebacker Calvin Pace told New York Jets.com. "If we come out and lay an egg in the first week, then I guess the No. 1 defense doesn't really matter. We kind of have to start over and build up our brand again and let people know that we do have a good defense."
Keep an eye on: New York: Sánchez. The rookie was so prone to early mistakes that he was given a color-coded armband to remind him of where to throw the ball on specific plays. Sánchez has 12 touchdowns against 20 interceptions and must be much better to beat the Bengals for the second consecutive week.
Cincinnati: Cedric Benson. The running back has rejuvenated what had been until this season a very unimpressive career. But this fall, he's been great, as he carried the ball 301 times for a career-high 1,251 yards and six touchdowns. The Bengals average more than 130 rushing yards per game and will look to Benson to control the clock by picking up first downs.
The game likely comes down to: Quarterback play. Sánchez is prone to making mistakes, but Cincinnati quarterback Carson Palmer has postseason experience. Both defenses will stack the line of scrimmage, give new looks and force opposing quarterbacks to make more plays than they did a week ago. But in the end, Palmer will lead the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1991.
No. 6 BALTIMORE RAVENS (9-7) at No. 3 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (10-6)
Kickoff: Jan. 10, 1 PM EST, in Foxborough, Mass.
To the winner: A game against No. 1 Indianapolis Colts (14-2) or No. 2 San Diego Chargers (13-3) in the divisional round next week.
Players with Latin American ties: None for either team, but New England quarterback Tom Brady is married to Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen.
What you need to know: New England: The Patriots, the AFC East Division champions, must find a way to replace the production of receiver Wes Welker, who went down with a season-ending knee injury last week. Welker led the league with 123 catches for 1,348 yards and four touchdowns during the regular season. In the Patriots' 27-21 win over Baltimore earlier this year, Welker made six catches for 48 yards. "For two days you say, 'We don't have Wes, what are we going to do?'" Patriots quarterback Tom Brady told The New York Times. "Then you get out to practice and you say, 'Well, that looks pretty good.'"
Baltimore: The Ravens' defense still is among the league's best in the league. The squad yields a meager 16.3 points and 300.5 yards per game – both of which ranked in the top-3 during the regular season. Even with injuries to safety Ed Reed, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata and linebacker Terrell Suggs, the group persevered through a tough regular season schedule to earn the second – and final – wild card for the second straight year. "I think we've just gotten a lot more consistent as the year has gone on," Ravens linebacker Jarret Johnson told reporters. "We took a lot of heat early – gave up some plays, didn't rush the passer so well. But I think in the end it kind of came together and we started playing more consistent. It's good to get back in the top of those rankings. For a while there, I'd look us up, and I'd keep scrolling down and down saying, 'What the heck?' So, I'm really happy with how we've played down the road."
Keep an eye on: New England: Brady. The three-time Super Bowl champion has thrown for 4,398 yards with 28 touchdowns against 13 interceptions this year. Brady, however, is battling rib and hand injuries and has thrown for just 687 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in his three games – all wins – against the Ravens.
Baltimore: Ray Rice: The running back is one of the NFL's most versatile players, as he led the team in rushing with 1,339 yards and seven touchdowns to go with a team-high 78 catches for 702 yards. Rice has more than 2,000 yards of offense this year and is the catalyst for the league's fifth-ranked rushing attack, which averages more than 137 yards per game.
The game likely comes down to: New England just doesn't lose to Baltimore. The Patriots are 5-0 all-time against the Ravens, including a six-point win earlier this year in Gillette Stadium. The Ravens struggled against the league's better teams during the regular season. They'll play well against the Patriots – just not well enough to advance to the division round.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Wrong ideas have produced many heresies, actually threatened the faith
This week we will pick up where we left off with whether or not Jesus and the Holy spirit are God and with the concept of the Trinity. Again, the current Jewish view of this would seem contrary but the concept was believed and discussed anciently and there was much agreement on this matter, although not readily discussed today.
Certainly, the writers of the New Testament believed it and taught it without much opposition, so that tells you many of those who heard their teachings weren't totally unaware of the concept.
All three are divine, unique persons, coeternal, coequal in essence (being). God has chosen to reveal this doctrine carefully and gradually.
It is a guarded revelation due to our human limitations to understand it.
Wrong ideas have produced many heresies that actually threatened the faith in the past.
God has given us many examples of this concept that we still have trouble understanding, and if we don't fully understand the picture, we will truly struggle when confronted with the reality.
For example, look at the mind.
It is made up of conscience, will, emotion, intellect and so on.
Psychiatric and psychological schools of thought have confronted the human mind and walk away dumfounded over the complexities and yet we think we have the Creator of that mind figured out?
Look at nature, the tree has the root, trunk and branches, the egg has the whites, yolk and shell.
Light is one and yet it can be broken down to many colors, some of its essence we can't even see with the human eye.
Time is one yet distinct (past, present, future), space has length, breadth, height and so on.
And the atom, well, we haven't even explored all of that yet.
Look at the cell and you will see the Lord giving us a glimpse of His essence.
Even the names of God give us a clue. Elohim is masculine plural, used in a collective sense.
YHVH is singular but is used for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
The names Father, (Deut 32.6) Son, (Rom 8.14) and Holy Spirit (John 3) represent the individual roles each have to make it easy for us to understand the relationship and functions they have. These roles are not meant to be pushed beyond the clear, intended purposes in which they were given to us.
For example, the "Son" does not mean subordinate to in essence to the Father. The Spirit is not a force or wind. The Father speaks of a position of authority, the disciplinarian, the teacher, provider and so on. The Son speaks of the mediator and servant, the Holy Spirit as the helper, comforter.
So, in conclusion, the concept of the Trinity, the three divine "persons" of the Godhead is a biblical concept clearly taught within the pages of Scripture. We should not go beyond the boundaries given in God's description of Himself, but I hope this brief overview gives you a better understanding of this.

Side-by-side pics show why Star Trek TNG: Blu-Ray is worth it
The forthcoming release of Star Trek: The Next Generation on Blu-Ray really gets our nerd juices flowing, and some übernerds (we say that with respect and a little bit of jealousy) have gone through scene by scene and taken note of a bunch of the cool new stuff that you can see in the remastered episodes that you couldn't see before.
For example, did you know that there's a little shout-out to Star Wars hidden in one of the props in Encounter at Far Point? Yeah, neither did anyone else, but thanks to the magic of high-res Blu-Ray, we can see it now.
In the gallery below, check out some of the ways that TNG: Remastered will make your life infinitely better, from sleekier starships to prettier planets to aliener aliens. Yeah, some of these examples are only going to appeal to seriously hardcore Star Trek fans, but that describes more or less everyone who's ever been interested in anything cool, right?
The images and captions are provided by Jörg Hillebrand and Bernd Schneider of TrekCore and Ex Astris Scientia, and you can hit up the link below to see even more examples.
So, what do you think: improvement, or defilement?

text:
The MicroChemLab™ system utilizes the sequential connection of three microfabricated components to achieve selective and sensitive gas-phase detection. To date, the fielded system hybrid integrates these components permitting their individual optimization and modular replacement. Forming the individual subsystems of the sensor side by side in a single piece of silicon is an alternate method to current field versions of the MicroChemLab. To further reduce system dead volume, allow for heated transfer lines, and ease assembly requirements, monolithic integration of the preconcentrator and the gas chromatography columns with a suitable silicon-based detector has been undertaken by Sandia. This integration approach will be used in future applications requiring further miniaturization and improved detection limits.
A preconcentrator (PC), gas chromatography columns (GC), and magnetically-actuated flexural plate wave sensor (magFPW) have been monolithically integrated using Sandia's SwIFT processing architecture. In this scheme, front-side surface micromachining was combined with back-end-of-line Bosch etching to produce both high precision resistive heaters and transducers, and full-wafer-thickness fluidic channels. An important consequence of this methodology is the precise definition of thermal and acoustic boundaries for the PC and magFPW, respectively, using a sacrificial silicon dioxide layer trapped within a relatively impervious perimeter of lithographically-defined silicon-nitride. This procedure improved the acoustic performance of the magFPWs by suppressing undesired modes. SwIFT modules are 2.8 x 6.3 mm and permitan important demonstration of monolithic integration of the MicroChemLab. This effort was instructional regarding the fabrication process, magFPW operation, and the coating methods needed to functionalize the components. However, the length of GC allowable in this footprint was too short for effective separation of complicated sample mixtures which led to the 2nd generation of the monolithic MicroChemLab.
A second generation of the monolithic MicroChemLab has been developed. The use of two adjacent modules has allowed the length of the gas chromatography columns (GC) to increase from 2.4 cm in the first generation: one new design has an 8.1 cm GC; another has an 11.8 cm column. These are still inadequate for full separations in the field, but are useful for limited analyte sets. This approach permits evaluation of the functional features of the monolithic design prior to consuming the many modules needed to realize a full-length, field-deployable design. The 11.8 cm long, 50 µm wide GC mentioned above is integrated with a preconcentrator (PC) and dual magFPWs. The 8.1 cm, 50 µm wide GC incorporates a novel magnetically-actuated, torsional pivot plate resonator (PPR) pair for sensing.
The pivot plate resonator (PPR) sensor is potentially more sensitive than the magFPW and, as with the magFPW, is actuated by Lorentz forces determined by an AC current through the central paddle that is supported by two torsional beams and a magnetic field established by miniature permanent magnets. Chemical sensitivity was demonstrated using silicon-on-insulator fabrication of the PPR. The paddle of the PPR was formed in the silicon device layer by reactive ion etching while a rectangular well was Bosch etched beneath the paddle to release it for operation. Coating of the PPR with a sol-gel permitted selective adsorption of analytes, changing the resonant frequency of the PPR in proportion to the mass adsorbed. 10 ng of dimethyl methyl phosponate (DMMP), produced 90° of phase shift in an un-optimized design giving a rough sensitivity of 0.11 ng/degree. Analytical models of the PPR will aid optimization. This device has high temperature stability and sensitivity, making it ideal for monolithic integration. The monolithic PPR chip design also incorporates a surface-micromachined bypass valve to switch flow between the sampling and separation/detection portions of the overall system analysis routine. This consists of an electrostatically-actuated silicon nitride flap situated over a bypass channel. Actuation of the valve has been demonstrated and future designs will improve the stand-off pressure.

Adobe Reader
pigoesfar - December 8, 2008 - 11:21am
It would really be great to have adobe reader as a portable app because it can't install on my school computers and I can't get it to install on my flash drive.
-- Thanks a lot,
( categories:
is what they have here and all will recommend it to you:

thanks your site is vary vary helpful
thanks your site is vary vary helpful
Um, no it wouldn't...
...be great to have ADOBE (presumably "acrobat") reader as portable.
Meh, far better to have any old "App X" portable reader which *happens to* read/display Acrobat files.
Sumatra is OK, I guess, but I use Foxit PDF reader.
Look around, do some DL'ing, and test drive 'em. I'm sure you'll find one you like.

@ Preacher
Hi Preacher
Just so you know Foxit PDF Reader is not stealth as it leaves behind according to the portablefreeware.com website which is a reliable source.
Additionally you may find it worth switching over to PDF X-Change Viewer as this is stealth, has all the mark up functions I am aware of that Fox It Reader free has plus the vaunted type write function that most free version pdf viewers omit. Hope you find this helpful : )
PortableApps.com Advocate
I know....
...whatcha mean about stealthiness.
As it happens, tho', I have little interest in stealthiness; I simply wanna take my apps with me to use on whoever's PC w/o having to install something on their system first. That's why FoxIt fits with my goals so well.
As to this PDF X-Change Viewer you mention, I haven't heard about that one, so I'll check it out - as I sometimes do wish I had the ability to "fill in forms" with a PDF app w/o having to pay for it or endure "watermarks" when so doing.
Thx for the tip on that!
"I don't hate cats...as long as they stay on the freeway, where they belong."
Maybe you don't care about
Maybe you don't care about leaving nothing behind but I bet the people of which you use their PC's care about these things.
portable adobe reader
from where can i download portable adobe reader ???plz share somelinks with me....
Illegal & Bloated
The reason no one has/will tell you where you can get a portable Adobe Reader, you can't. 1) Adobe Reader is propriatery software, so changing it to mak it portable is illegal. and 2) Foxit Reader, Sumatra Reader, and most of the other readers they mentioned are much smaller than Adobe Reader, run faster, don't use up as much reasorces, etc. So they are better choices. Get Sumatra from this site, it's good and its PAFed.
Use the search box! Please!

Just played a game and after coming out of it, it wouldn't load the stats. Me and my 2 friends skipped the stat screen and queued again (5v5 Summoners Rift, Normal not ranked, same as before). We got a game and during champ select all 3 of us were thrown out to view our previous game stat screen. We then couldn't queue until we relogged as we were 'still assigned to a game'.
Same just happened to us. We could still hear the sounds of champion picks and bans so we closed client and now we need to wait 30 mins. Great client.

Forbes Officially Signs On To Flipboard
Gets branded pages, ŌĆ£Featured ContentŌĆØ slot.
Forbes has signed on to Flipboard, the ŌĆ£social mag appŌĆØ for the iPad that is beginning to get the stamp of approval from publishers (the Oprah Winfrey Network and Oprah.com just signed on to be official partners with Flipboard on April 14).
Flipboard is a free ŌĆ£social magazineŌĆØ app available on the iPad, which allows users to select RSS feeds from Facebook and Twitter and add them to their account. Flipboard then takes this selected content and weaves a personalized magazine featuring content based on user selections.
Bruce Upbin, managing editor of Forbes, says, ŌĆ£I think itŌĆÖs the only one of its kind so far ŌĆō theyŌĆÖre the most publisher friendly of the mag apps (like Zite and Pulse) as they want to work with us to replicate our mag experience on their app. WeŌĆÖre more branded.ŌĆØ
Forbes currently has two iPad apps, the Investment Guide + app and The List app. Upbin distinguishes between the actual Forbes apps and the socially curated Flipboard content, ŌĆ£Our other apps are more targeted. The Flipboard pages is the closest thing youŌĆÖll get from us right now to reading Forbes.com content as if it were Forbes magazine.
We donŌĆÖt sell per issue; our iPad strategy to date has been to take our content and brands, like The List or The Investment Guide, and turn those into an app experience.ŌĆØ
The Investment Guide + app was released last fall, and its content is refreshed biannually when the print Investment Guide issue is released.
When Forbes was faced with the question of partnership with Flipboard (content was already being pulled from Forbes.com Twitter feed to be included in the app), Upbin decided to make their Flipboard pages as branded as possible. He says, after all, ŌĆ£They had access to our content before via our Twitter feed; anyone can get anything on Flipboard (almost)."
As ŌĆ£Featured ContentŌĆØ, ForbesŌĆÖ and FlipboardŌĆÖs design teams work together to create a branded look that carries through elements of Forbes.comŌĆÖs articles, such as headline, byline, photos and the first paragraph that appear on the app. Advertisement is also possible once a publisher signs on to partner with Flipboard.
Currently, every third page in the Forbes.com content section is a house ad promoting the Forbes-created iPad app.
As for ad revenue terms, Upbin couldnŌĆÖt share exact numbers, but says, ŌĆ£We get what we can for it, until Flipboard develops a set of metrics that are publisher friendly, like monthly active reader, subscribers to your section and number of page views or ŌĆśflipsŌĆÖ.ŌĆØ
Other publishers on Flipboard include Bon Appetit, Lonely Planet and All Things Digital.

When it comes to spearfishing, Westside Dive and Tackle founder Kris Tyler considers using scuba tanks as cheating. So when he suits up to spearfish, the seasoned outdoorsman plunges 20 feet below the water's surface, holds his breath in the stillness, and waits: "You become a part of the reef or rock, and you wait for the perfect situation—for the one fish that might give you that really good shot." A self-described "water baby," Kris has been swimming and fishing in Hawaii and Florida since childhood. Most of all, he loves the way spearfishing enables him to connect with the underwater universe and partake in a tradition Hawaiians have enriched for generations.
In addition to his spearfishing expeditions, Mr. Tyler totes explorers to his favorite sunken wrecks and lava caverns off the coast of Oahu on scuba-diving charters, and equips them to chart their own expeditions or challenge blowfish to staring contests during scuba-diving certification.
A crack staff of ASE-certified technicians maintains all makes and models of auto at Capital Auto Service, a repair shop open for 25 years. The team of mechanics specializes in European-made vehicles such as BMWs and Volkswagens and refurbishes clunkers into smooth steering machines with a line of repair and routine-maintenance services from oil changes to battery inspection. Patrons can drop off vehicles or rest in the air-conditioned waiting room while gazing at the big-screen television, sipping complimentary beverages, and using the free WiFi to look up their vehicles' daily horoscopes.
DJ's Motorsports' 10,000-square-foot facility employs a full arsenal of machinery to tune, tweak, and maintain cars and trucks, enhancing vehicles' functionality and image with an array of services and accessories. Three full-service oil changes restore the innards of a hardworking automobile, as a skilled technician bestows a new filter, air filter, and wiper blades; inspects tires; and refills fluids in thirsty trekkers for better drivability and less horn snoring. Proud owners choosing the section option can reward hardworking road huggers with any of DJ's accessories or services. A new exhaust system breathes new life into cars ($200+) or trucks ($325+), improving performance without having to bribe rides down the highway by hanging a picture of a two-car garage in front of them. In a variety of sizes and colors, a new set of wheels ($1,000+) or shiny new rims come expertly installed with the shop's modern, safety ensuring mounting services.
Auto Care Super Saver relieves car caretakers of some expenses and fretting with a bundle of maintenance services redeemable over the course of a full year. Keep joyrides running smoothly with three complimentary oil changes and two half-price oil changes (prices vary by location), which include up to 5 quarts of nonsynthetic oil, lube, and a filter, or give a jalopy a pedicure with two tire rotations that even out wheel wear and tear. Services can be unleashed upon any one of a customer's vehicles, whether they be station wagons, sports cars, or feral merry-go-round mounts, and cover a slew of possible automotive ailments. With the comprehensive coupon card, clients receive 15 percent off any additional repairs. With the included air-conditioner performance tests, Auto Care Super Saver cleanses cars' circulatory systems, keeping vents from spewing heat or fully formed snowmen, and the included brake inspection reveals any stopping problems and gains customers a $20 discount on any brake servicing.
With upwards of 16 million customers served, the technicians at Maaco Collision Repair & Auto Painting have the experience to restore vehicles' insides and outsides to like-new condition. They specialize in ?cosmollision,? a budget-friendly combination of cosmetic and collision repair, and they guarantee their work with a warranty honored at any of nearly 500 body-shop locations. Certified staffers use PPG color-match systems to paint exteriors with finishes that resist chemicals, tough road conditions, and frog plagues. The company's large network and efficient production systems allow them to keep wait times and costs low, and their wealth of insurance knowledge helps to expedite accident claims.
For more than a decade, the ASE Master–certified technicians at One Stop Auto Center have tended to the automobiles of Pearl City residents and customers passing through town. Detailed inspections and oil changes allow the staff to keep cars running smoothly, unlike a marathoner that jogs on a trail of hot coals. A Bosch 3D camera system calculates the adjustments needed to restore wheels to their factory alignment settings, helping to extend the life of tires.

If I could punch one person in the face everyday, there would be no doubt who would recieve today's hit: San Fransisco Giants' outfielder Cody Ross.
This is not for any peronal reason. I have never met the man. This would be just because of his preformance during the first game of the 2010 National League Championship Series that took place Saturday night.
In a game that was being forshadowed as a pitching duel between two previous Cy Young Award winners (Tim Lincecum and Roy Halladay), Ross stole the spotlight.
With one swing of the bat, not only did Ross snap Halladay's 34-at-bat streak of not allowing a hit, he put an end to the hitless game that Halladay was throwing. But mainly, it gave the Giants a 1-0 lead on the road in a crucial opening game of the series.
He retuned to the plate in his second at-bat for a repeat preformance. With a 3-2 count, after a called ball that appeared to be the third strike, Ross hit another homerun to the same section of the stadium.
"Yeah, I did [think it was a strike]," Halladay said to reporters after the game. "But that's part of it. There were obviously calls that they wanted, too. It's part of the game. If you don't get a pitch, you have to make a pitch on the next one."
The 4-3 loss has now put the Phillies in uncharted waters. They are now losing a playoff series for the first time since the 2007 National League Divisional Series. Before Saturday, the Phillies had won the previous seven consecutive postseason Game 1s.
Despit that, the Phillies look to tie the series as Game 2 is scheduled for Sunday at 8:03 at Philadelphia's Citizen's Bank Park.

Customer Reviews for Armoise (Mugwort)
- Coniferous, Eucalyptus-like Review by BShea
- Armoise (Mugwort); I thought this might be my least favorite of the bunch when I ordered it, but I wanted to give it a try (I'm not one for herbal notes usually) I was thinking about using it in lunar and clairvoyant blends and I was right; at first. My first impression was EUCALYPTUS! I hate Eucalyptus. But more and more I thought of Spruce or Fir needle oils. When it dried down it got fresh and green, but it was very fleeting overall. Definitely a top note. It has actually started to grow on me now that it reminds me more of conifers. (Posted on 2/27/13)

Third-year law student Jalem Peguero argues that the Supreme Court's decision in Blueford v. Arkansas trades constitutional protection for rigid formalism. The Blueford Court sanctioned the retrial of criminal defendants for offenses where a jury did not formally acquit the defendant; accordingly, Peguero claims, the Court prevented even clear statements by jury forepersons in open court about the finality of their decisions from operating to protect a defendant from "Double Jeopardy."
This case note is one of seven written by California Law Review members for Circuit's first case note program.

Discover Ministry Briefing! --> The Best Way To Keep "In The Know"!
I don't know of another website like this in the US.
This is a creative ministry idea from the UK.
People tell local churches their specific needs and it gets posted to the internet. Then people can give to specific needs.
Simple, innovative, and solves problems.
How many requests for help do you get at your church, especially around the holidays. Most churches don't know how to help (and can't help everyone). This seems like a great solution.
Maybe someone reading this would like to start something like this.
You start it… I'll help promote it!
The thing I see being hard about this in the US is the tax structure churches are under. When Directed Giving is used for non-taxable purposes, it puts the church in a tight position.
If it was founded as a non-church nonprofit whose specific purpose for existing was to allow people to provide for needs of others, that might be able to work.
But when someone says to you "Here is $500 to give to Joe, because he's having a hard time, and that's the only thing you can do with this money" the non-profit (aka Church) loses its discretionary spending over the money, which usually has taxable consequences. It is generally no longer a charitable contribution from the givers standpoint, and it is a taxable receipt from the institutions standpoint.
Interesting. I wonder if church members would start giving the money to individuals verses the church and then the church would start hurting? It would be nice to be generous enough to give to both.
Hey Todd,
Before you do this or anybody else for that matter take the time to read the book Toxic Charity: How the church hurts those they help and how to Reverse it, by Robert Lupton.
Pete Wilson quoted from it a week or so ago, I got if off Amazon for my iPad. Wow, I think he is on to something.
