You have changed my life!!! I am 39 years old and have always been deathly (literally) allergic to peanuts, peanut butter, and all tree nuts. Last night I made SunButter cookies.... my best friend thought I used peanut butter and that I had lost my mind!!! I ate a cookie - and didn't die!!!!!!! I just fed my children SunButter and jelly sandwiches for lunch!!! I feel like a regular person!!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

When I became allergic to nuts I didn't think I was ever going to be able to enjoy the taste of peanut butter on toast again, but this tastes just like the brand of peanut butter I used to eat. Thanks, John

I tried SunButter once on a flight and thought it was AMAZING! When I found out my nephew was allergic to nuts, I started looking for it. Not much here in Canada yet :( but hopefully soon. Thankfully, I am travelling to the US and found a store along my driving route to get some.

Need Sunbutter in local stores. Had it in a Kroger 30 miles away. Requested it be sent to my local Kroger. They did it, but did not keep it on the shelf for long. They discontinued the item, so I bought it all at a cheap price, but cant get them to keep it on shelf. I have found one jar at Target, but they want over 8.00 dollars for one jar. I just cant find a cost effective way to keep it handy for my daughter. i have to pay over the price of another jar of sunbutter to get it shipped to me from your web site. I do it, but it certainly would help us all out i'm sure, if it could be found more easily and kept at a manageable price. Thanks, Christi Knight

So thrilled to have come across this product! I saw your ad in Allergic Living Magazine. Thank you so much for recognizing the need for a product such as this-I cannot tell you how happy I am to have found a peanut alternative that my son can safely eat. Means so much to me. I am a fan!!! So when are we going to see your products on more shelves within Canada? I look forward to trying more SunButter products!

My sister told me about this product and she said that this is the closest thing to peanut butter. Because I'm allergic to peanuts, I don't know what peanut butter taste like. All I know is that SunButter is delicious and creamy.
Really wish you could manufacture it without soy. Most kids and adults who are allergic to peanuts use this product. And soy is a huge allergen as well for many. If this was made in a facility without soy, I would get it put into my son's school. We love the sunbutter, but wish we could rest assured that soy contamination was not of any concern.
My son that is 13 years old has a peanut allergy that we have known about since he was 6 months old we have always had to be very careful when we buy anything in the store everything has to read for peanut and tree nut because i have a tree nut allergy so my son has to stay away from tree nuts also and eating out is a pain also because we have to so careful but he can never eat a dessert out even at a birthday party no cake so anything sweet has to be made at home. the last few months i have been buying sunflower seeds to snack on and my son has been asking me what does peanut butter taste like i told him kinda like the sunflower seeds taste like and that got me to thinking i wounder if i coukd make sunflower seed butter in the food processer and i was at the store and started look in the nut free gluten free department and could not find any sunbutter but the i went to isle that peanut butter was on and in the far corner was sunbutter i and my son was excited but he was scared to get it because it was by the peanut butter so i waited a week and bought some it was a very scary for him to taste of it at first so i told he to just hold it on his tounge for a few minutes so he liked it but was nervous i told him i would make him this candy that i have been making since i was young and his dad and brothers had always enjoyed at christmas that he had never got to try because it had peant butter as main ingredent so last night i made him some with your sunbutter and he loved it i told him now his world had opened up to endless desserts that once he could not have because of peanut butter but now can have subing sunbutter inplace of pb so i just wanted to thank you your product has opened a new door to may sons life with sweets thank you.

Thank You! I developed an allergy to peanuts after having my second child. Thinking, I was doing the right thing by eliminating legumes from my diet (my 1st child had a severe allergy to legumes) I had a horrible reaction to peanut butter after reintroducing it. It is really frustrating to absolutely love peanut butter your whole life and then at 34 not be able to eat it! I have tried hazelnut butter, soy butter, almond butter, and even cashew butter but none of them tasting close to peanut butter and they were hard to deal with texture wise. Sun butter is my new best friend! Thanks for not processing it with peanuts! I love the taste, texture, and availability.

I am a huge fan of peanut butter, but my friend suggested I try sunbutter for a change. It is amazing!!!!! I barely trust myself with a spoon and an open jar. Thank you for such a wonderful spread!!!
My daughter was diagnosed with a severe peanut /tree nut allergy back in 1994. We've tried soy butter (gross!). A manager in our local school cafeteria suggested your product. They had received a sample to try and she said it was really good. My husband placed an order with you. It tastes better than peanut butter in my estimation! I've used it as a baking substitute as well. We will continue to use it!!! Only problem, can't find it in any grocery stores.

I really loved your product. It was my first encounter with your products. However, it won't be the last. It was so very good and it is something I intend to add to the grocery list on a regular basis for the family. As it is gluten-free, I passed the information on to all of my friends, and all of the other moms at the day-care. Our family intends to try all of the recipes, and my husband and I will be telling everyone at work about it.

I have been seriously alergic to peanuts for the last 15 years, after eating them in large quantities for all of my preceding life. I LOVE the flavor of peanuts and peanut butter, but do not want to face the epipen or the fears of the attacks again. At the age of 59 I have now discovered a substitute for peanut butter. Yesterday at Walmart I found your Sunbutter Natural and now I can enjoy the flavor I have craved for so long. It is so similar to peanut flavor and texture. Thank you very very much for making it in a peanut free factory!

I love this product! My son is allergic to peanuts so I bought this, he's still little and won't try it but I eat it constantly! I hope when he's older he'll love it. I love it more than peanut butter!
I LOVE Sunbutter. I developed an allergy to peanut butter 5 years ago out of the blue. My mom found Sunbutter and I think it tastes just like peanut butter (from what I remember) Thanks so much!! Sara
Sadly, due to heart attack and antirejection medication I was allergic to all foods. I found I could eat saltine crackers, Herb Ox beef broth, and watermelon. This was my diet for five years. And then a friend found SunButter and ask me to try it. Thankfully, I found I was able to eat it and now with a cracker I have a sandwich. I am still allergic to corn products , soy products, but the SunButter does not bother in that manner so you do clean your equipment enough for me. I am so thankful for SunButter. One more to add to my list of OK's. Thank you, Dottie L.
Sacramento, CA
My two-year-old son has been diagnosed with a peanut/tree-nut allergy. After trying a soybutter substitute (which neither of us liked), we tried Sunbutter. It is delicious! I find the taste very similar to peanut butter, but still like sunflower seeds. I really like that it is also available without additives (Natural). I have a recipe for peanut butter cookies that I haven't made in a long time and am really looking forward to trying the recipe with Sunbutter instead. Thank you for the wonderful product!

My Name is Avrielle North i am allergic to peanuts and it is hard to find products without peanuts in them or them being processed on peanut equipment, my favorite nuts are cashews and i cant find any with out peanut oil on them, my mom was going grocery shopping one day and she came home and we decided to try it and i love SunButter! My mom uses it as a substitute for peanut butter in a lot of recipes and i think it tastes delicious! it is so nice to not have to worry about eating peanut products and having a delicious substitute that tastes amazing and is healthy for you. i just wanted to thank who ever came up with it and say good job because it is one of my favorite things! Sincerely Avrielle

As parents of a child with food allergies we are always reading labels searching for peanut free items. We found your product yesterday and for the first time our child was able to enjoy Sunbutter on toast. Thank you for putting a smile on her face and for taking the mystery out of that stuff everyone calls peanut butter. Now she knows :)
S Wessels
This is my first time trying your product, and my goodness this is the best tasting thing i have ever had. I now can't have peanut butter and was looking for it's replacement. I have now found it thanks for making this product (sunbutter natural) . I will be buying more in the near future.

My son was diagnosed with severe allergy to peanuts at the age of 2 (2002). I immediately said a forever goodbye to my love of warm toast spread with peanut butter. However, during the summer of 2010, I discovered a jar of your SunButter on the grocery store shelf. Ya-Hoo! Ya-Hoo! Ya-Hoo! I so look forward to this snack on a daily basis. Either post workout or a mid afternoon pick me up. Keep up the good work! Keep making it peanut free! Sincerely, Carolee

I had eaten peanuts all my life when one day my mom and I were in the car and I had a reaction to a piece of candy I had eaten that had peanuts in it. After some testing, the allergist told me that I am allergic to peanuts. Ever since then I have been on a search for a peanut butter alternative. I am also allergic to soy, so soy butter was out of the question. My boyfriend and I were shopping at Target one day when he noticed Sunbutter on the shelf, he picked it up and began to read it then he handed it to me. I have loved it since then. Thank you so much for creating this wonderful product!
Hi, my son has a pnut/treenut allergy and I just discovered I also have a trace pnut and hazel-nut allergy. I've tried Sunbutter in the past but this weekend got the natural creamy and LOVE IT! I really appreciate your providing this wonderful pnut alternative for our family. Chanel

We love your Sunbutter! After weeks of allergy testing I found out that my 12 month old son was allergic to peanuts so we went on the search for something he could eat. He LOVES your Sunbutter!

Just wanted to say that after not being able to eat peanut butter or any kind of nuts for over 10 years your SunButter is just the best. My son happened to find this product by accident and bought it for me to try and see if it made me sick. Well it did not and when I bought my first jar I finished it off in less than a week. Couldn't get enough. Since then I have told many about it including my niece and she was so happy to finally find this product she did the same as me. Ate and Ate. I find your's is the best on the market. Thank you so much for making this product and keep up the good work. I know many others must be just a elated as I am.

My boyfriend hasn't eaten peanut butter in 7 years because of my allergy, He tried your product today (on his birthday) for the first time, and absolutely LOVED IT! he was thrilled, and said that it was the best birthday ever!
Oh my goodness! I am hooked and so is my husband. I found 5 jars last week and bought all of them. Hey if they will keep on the store shelf or in a warehouse they will keep in my pantry! I stopped buying peanut butter because it doesn't taste like it did when I was young. Sunbutter is even better than I remember PB tasting. Way to go!!

I bought it as an alternative to peanut butter, just out of curiosity. Now I prefer it!
Loveland CO
I was diagnosed with a variety of food allergies when I turned 21. It was and still is pretty hard to deal with. I can't just pick something up and eat it; I have to inspect it first. One thing I loved was peanut butter. I would eat it by the spoonfuls! Then, all of a sudden, I couldn't eat it anymore. I tried to get some "fake" peanut butter, but it tasted so terrible I decided I wouldn't even try it again. Then my fiance wanted to make me my favorite candy, buckeyes, but I am allergic to chocolate and peanuts. So he got caraco and Sunbutter and I had buckeyes for the first time in a year! Sunbutter is amazing and it, by far, the best alternative to peanut butter out there! Sincerely, Keirra P.S. I am eating Sunbutter with a spoon right now :)

I have been addicted to SunButter for the past few months. (While I prefer the Natural, I usually purchase the creamy due to costs.) Because I have an intolerance to peanuts and don't particularly enjoy almond butter, SunButter has become my go-to staple. This might sound odd, but I have a nut butter and banana sandwich about 4-5 times a week now. I just can't get enough and wanted to thank you for such a great product!
My grand daughter is 2 1/2 and her dad my son in law are hooked on peanut butter. I gave my daughter a bottle of SunButter and told her to just make the sandwiches with it and not say anything. Dad and daughter ate it for a week with no sugar fruit spread, loved it , never told them and now they are hooked on it. Couldnt get 2 yr old to eat sunflower seeds before this and her dad didnt like them.haha. thanks, Granny

I have been consuming SunButter since 2003 when I discovered it at Cash Wise in Moorhead (Used to live there). I don't even consider PB anymore because it is so good!

Going to a new school (peanut free) and not having Peanut Butter sandwiches was disappointing to my daughter. Then, we sampled Sunbutter! YUMMMMY. This is a staple in our household.

We love your yellow lid SunButter. We use it to make SunButter cookies and on sandwiches. It is also great with veggies! I wish you made larger jars! Coupons would be nice too! :) Thanks for having SunButter that tastes so good. Nice to have something other than peanuts. We cannot eat them at my house!
No more headaches, Even though I had loved peanutbutter for many years it gave me headaches. Now with SunButter there are no more headaches and taste so much better.

At the age of 7 years old my grandson (Skyler) developed a peanut and soy allergy. So as you can imagine when he was told that those foods were unsafe for him to eat (we never told him that he could not have those foods we ALWAYS told him they were unsafe)we went through alot of emotions. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches was a favorite. It is extremely hard to watch and comfort a child while sitting in the middle of a Walmart aisle crying because he couldnt find anything that didnt have one or the other. So now we have past those obstacles and moved on. Now we have discovered SunButter we just bought yesterday I wish I could send you a picture of a face of a happy,dought free, fear free face because I sure have it. So what I'am trying to say is THANK YOU so much for coming up with SunButter. Skyler can now curb the craving for peanutbutter. So now we have shed the tears of happiness rather than the tears of its not safe. Again THANK YOU so much. Lynn
oh it's delicious! I could eat it by the spoonful! any coupons would surely be appreciated!
Ruth Hauch
When our family found out that peanuts were actually a fungus (this was bad news because we are peanut butter fans), we decided to try your product. We were not expecting the Natural creamy spread to taste anything like peanut butter. AWESOME! And it spreads so smoothly. Our children couldn't even taste the difference. Thank you for making such an yummy spread that no other company can master. The Pattersons

I became allergic to all tree nuts at the age of 45. My favorite cookies were peanut butter and my favorite sandwich was a peanut butter and banana. On day I caught the tailend of a Dr. Oz show where a lady made some Sunbutter cookies for a little boy who was allergic to nuts. So I had a friend pick up a jar at a health food store. It was amazing. Our local grocery store even carries it. I am so thankful you have this product available. Now every time I hear of someone with nut allergies, I suggest this product.

Hi, I just discovered your product after my son was diagnosed with nut and egg allergies. Wow, thanks for such a great product! I had tried multiple soy butters but did not like the taste but with Sunbutter, I now have a tasty alternative to peanut butter! Would you please, please, please consider adding a chocolate spread alternative to your line (we used to love Nutella but cannot have it due to allergies and are still looking for a tasty replacement - the soy & chocolate alternatives we've tried have not been appreciated...) But a chocolate Sunbutter, now that could be a tasty treat! Thanks for your consideration :) Helene

I was so hip on peanut butter that I ate it by the spoon full. However, after brain surgery, I had to give up the obsession along with a list of other migraine-causing edibles. I had loved peanutbutter so much that I wrote a poem dedicated to my loss of it. I spent years with nothing but jelly on my PB&Js. It's now been ten years since my last peanutbutter consumption. But, a few years back I came accross something that has reignited my tastebuds. For a few years now I have enjoyed something that has forever taken the place of peanutbutter. Oh, YEAH!!!! I have SunButter! Now I have something that better compliments my jelly than just bread or more jelly. I have something that has a creamy and smooth texture comparable only to ice cream on a summe's day. I have the high-protein, low saturated-fat, energy and smile soaked deliciousness that only SunButter can offer. *Drull*

We have used all flavors of the sun butter, and the granola bars, although I wish the granola was a little more crunchy, we love all of the product we have used. My favorite is the sun butter with flax seed, the kids love the natural flavor. Thank you for providing us with a safe alternative to nut butter. Now that I have seen your other products, I am looking forward to trying them!

I am 25 years old and have never had peanut butter in my life due to my life threatening allergy. My future mother-in-law found out about this and was so excited to tell me about it. I went out and bought it. First I had my fiance try it and he said it was absolutely delicious. He has no peanut allergy. I tried it and was nearly brought to tears on how good it was. Now I realize I can be normal person and have a peanut(sun)butter and jelly sandwhich or make peanut(sun)butter cookies. Thank you so much!
Hauppauge, NY
I just wanted to say how much I love this product! As a child I was not allergic to peanuts, however I am severely allergic to them now. I would still crave peanut butter all the time. When I first tried sun butter I couldn't believe it! And the fact it's made in a nut free facility is amazing. You don't see many products like this Thank you so much!!
I have honestly never taken the time to write a review about anything before in my life. That is how pleased I am with your product! I was diagnosed with a peanut allergy when I was 18 months old. Since then, I've never never been able to enjoy anything that contained nuts and have always heard from my friends what I was missing out on by not being able to consume peanut butter. I read about SunButer in a gluten free magazine and purchased a jar at Target. I have to tell you, this product has changed my life and I haven't even owned it for a week now. Just being able to enjoy a sunbutter sandwich or spread on a piece of fruit before a run or gym session really has filled the peanut butter void in my life! I was so sick and tired of hearing how healthy peanut butter was and what a quick and easy snack it made. Now, I'm very pleased that I can enjoy all the health benefits and convience of peanut butter through sunbutter. Thank you! Please never stop making this product!

You Are Old, Father William
|You Are Old, Father William
|Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Chapter V became far more popular than the poem it was parodying, The Old Man's Comforts and How He Gained Them by Robert Southey.
"You are old, Father William," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head—
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"
"In my youth," Father William replied to his son,
"I feared it might injure the brain;
But now that I'm perfectly sure I have none,
Why, I do it again and again."
"You are old," said the youth, "As I mentioned before,
And have grown most uncommonly fat;
Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door—
Pray, what is the reason of that?"
"In my youth," said the sage, as he shook his grey locks,
"I kept all my limbs very supple
By the use of this ointment—one shilling the box—
Allow me to sell you a couple?"
"You are old," said the youth, "And your jaws are too weak
For anything tougher than suet;
Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak—
Pray, how did you manage to do it?"
"In my youth," said his father, "I took to the law,
And argued each case with my wife;
And the muscular strength which it gave to my jaw,
Has lasted the rest of my life."
"You are old," said the youth, "one would hardly suppose
That your eye was as steady as ever;
Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose—
What made you so awfully clever?"
"I have answered three questions, and that is enough,"
Said his father; "don't give yourself airs!
Do you think I can listen all day to such stuff?
Be off, or I'll kick you down stairs!"
This work was published before January 1, 1923, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.

Click below to read a summary of the Games & robots project ideas for Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards; or to go back to project ideas click here [2].
CREST Bronze
Design and model a games controller
There are loads of different games consoles on the market – and even more controllers for them. In this project you need to research all the various types of controllers available and set about designing your own. You're not expected to be able to design and make the electronic circuitry to make them work, but you can make a scale model of your design.
CREST Silver
Build a simple robot, then make it 'useful'
A joystick works by activating a series of micro-switches. The switches send a signal to the PC or games system, which then controls the motion of an object on the screen. Although it's possible to build a 'homemade' joystick and then use it to control a screen object, it's a bit complicated. It's much easier to build a simple robot (for example, using Lego or Meccano), that has three wheels, one free to move, and the other two driven by separate motors, controlled by remote-wire switches.
CREST Gold
Design and build a robotic 'ball boy' for tennis or cricket practise
For this project you will need to research automated machines and robots. You will need a mentor from the robotics industry as this is a complex project.

Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
Reversing Falls grit their teeth, charge their guitars, but they know they cannot unmake the place, the town, that they are cursing. It is bigger than they are, crueller, fiercer and louder. That is what makes it worthy of cursing. As a band cowers in a basement rehearsal space, chugging, singing, spending one guitar-pick after another, the city stands permanent and beautiful around them. Its skyline is ambivalent, and its snowplows, and its nighttime spotlights, skimming the clouds. Curse the shine on this diamond, curse the love in these clutching hands.I posted "Curse This Place", because it had been sent to me, but then the band wrote and said "actually, please take that down, we're still working on it". Now 12 months later, a different winter, and indeed a different "Curse This Place". Reversing Falls worked with Mark Lawson, they worked with Howard Bilerman, they worked with Unicorns' Jamie Thompson and a rinky-dink piano. They took four seasons to make "Curse This Place" better and they really did make it better. This charged electric enthem gained new backup vox, battery acid, a "Creep"-like stutter. It won itself some torque, a low-end to the high electric guitars, something close to conviction. They are still cursing the same damn place, the same draining town, but there's the sense they could indeed ram a chink into it. Someone will hear their unhappy, winning racket. Bravo.

iPocketWatch: Transformed iPod Nano MP3 Player is Made of Aircraft-Grade Aluminum
The small size of the Apple iPod Nano 6th Generation with Multi-Touch MP3 player has inspired other companies and designers to create new products incorporating it. There are already some cheap & trendy wristwatch/iPod Nano combo products on the market today. But an Australian engineer has hit upon the brilliant idea of recreating the iPod Nano into a classic pocket watch that used to be famous back the in the old days. His iPocketWatch is an elegant throwback to the past and this premise alone makes it a big winner in my book!
The engineer who conceptualized this product says the iPocketWatch is a pocket watch case for the Apple iPod Nano MP3 Player. It is made from aircraft-grade aluminum and hand-finished to maximum quality standard. He is offering two designs, a standard square fascia and the interchangeable round fascia. Both of these models will perfectly fit the new small iPod Nano. The overall-size of the iPocketWatch is small enough to fit the small jeans pocket (just like iPod Shuffle 4th Generation) on top of the regular front pocket on the right size of your jeans!
The iPocketWatch MP3 player comes with a 30 cm. silver chain with a belt hook which lets it be firmly secured to your belt. Take this product around the office and impress your mates by whipping out the iPocketWatch like a classic 19th Century gentleman. Tell of them the time and then use your fingers to playback your favorite MP3 music! I'm sure they will be surprised that your vintage pocket watch is actually capable of playing digital songs!
Using the iPod Nano MP3 player inside the iPocketWatch is easy but the Square Fascia model is more comfortable because you get quick access to the touch screen, all buttons, the headphone jack and the power/data dock. We're not even sure if it's compatible with eXo Xciter Bluetooth Wireless Surface Speaker. Furthermore, the clip behind the Apple iPod Nano is still useable should you want to clip the iPocketWatch to your shirt pocket.
The Round Fascia model of the iPocketWatch means you won't have access to the controls displayed on the corner of the iPod Nano but the engineer who made this product assured that most operations can be achieved quickly, including swiping the screen, song change, and menu scrolling.
The iPocketWatch' retail price will only be $79.99 in the US and Canada once its release date arrives.

One of Rochester's better-known hotels, the Strathallan, is going to become a Doubletree by Hilton location, the local Democrat and Chronicle reported last week.
The hotel, now closed for construction, is scheduled to reopen this fall as the Strathallan DoubleTree by Hilton. The developer plans a more upscale experience than at the DoubleTree in nearby Henrietta, according to the article.
It's undergoing a $10 million, top-to-bottom renovation to improve, among other things, the unfinished, gravel-topped roof on the ninth floor.
TWITTER: Join USA TODAY's Barb DeLollis on Twitter
The hotel's website says reservations are now being accepted for November, and they're cleverly posting update photos on the property's Facebook page.
The Strathallan is located on tree-lined East Avenue on the site of a 19th-century mansion in the Neighborhood of the Arts. The building, however, isn't historic. The article says it was built as an apartment house for seniors in the early 1970s and was converted into a 151-room hotel in 1979.
When it reopens as a Hilton-brand hotel, expect to see a redone lobby, improved entrance and a first-ever pool and an expanded fitness area off the lobby.
In terms of food, the developers brought in local restaurateur Mark Chiarenza to operate the Grill at Strathallan, which they hope will lure locals as well as guests, the story says. They're adding a patio for outdoor dining and creating other outdoor areas with fire pits.
"We've tried to bring the building into today's age," Norbert Hausner, owner of NH Architecture, told the paper. "We wanted to be cognizant, too, of what the the neighborhood is and means."
Prior owners hadn't invested in major upgrades, the story says.

The Predators and Carnivores Of The Southern African Bush
Predation and the Predator and Carnivore species of South Africa and Surrounds
Predators are truly the kings of the South African bush, especially at night. There are more predators in South Africa than you think. Surely you know about Lions, Leopards, Cheetahs and Hyaena's. But have you heard of Wild Cats, Genets, Civets and Bat-Eared Foxes? There are more predators in Southern Africa than you think.
Predators are carnivores that hunt their prey. All the predators have different ways of hunting. For example Cheetahs run after their prey at 110km/h whereas Servals sneak up on their prey and then pounce upon it.
Predators are not often seen so you might not see a lot of them during your stay, but I guarantee if you look carefully into the thickets you will find a predator, more often than not one that has nocturnal habits. A lot more predators are found outside reserves than other types of large mammals. The largest predator that survives outside conservation areas is the Leopard. Leopards are very adaptable and live in semi-deserts, forests, marshes and woodlands. They will eat just about anything, from termites to beetles to giraffe and wildebeest, but the smaller predators are the most successful carnivores. Lions will make a kill once in every four attempts, and mainly control the numbers of zebra and buffalo.
Smaller predators are found all over South Africa, and some like the Caracal and Aardvark are known to live a few kilometers from towns and cities. The Caracal and Aardvark are so successful because they are nocturnal and can afford to live close to human settlements. Mongooses have even been known to inhabit warehouses.
If you venture are into the Karoo you will unfortunately see a few dead predators in the road. This is again due to the nocturnal habits of these animals. At night they patrol up and down the roads which due to the roads warmth attract rodents. While the small carnivores are hunting the rodents a truck or a car comes past and the predator is blinded by the light of the vehicles and then gets run over. This is tragic but doesn't affect the population too much.
All predators have keen eye sight and other senses which is another reason why they do not get seen to often. So watch out for all the different carnivorous and even insectivorous predators around the untamed wilds they call Southern Africa.

Increasingly, hospitals are "observing," instead of admitting, Medicare beneficiaries, even when they are there for more than 48 hours. Health care experts say the situation is far from ideal for both hospitals and patients. Hospitals are feeling increased pressure from Medicare to classify patients the "right" way or risk losing reimbursements. In turn, patients face higher bills for services they receive in the hospital, and also the possibility of not qualifying for Medicare-covered nursing home care after their hospital stay. One reason for hospitals to use "observation status" is to lower their chances of getting no payment at all from Medicare for what an auditing contractor may later find was an unnecessary admission. In addition, starting in 2012, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act imposed penalties for hospitals with high rates of readmission. Hospitals can avoid the penalty if the patient was not officially admitted during his first visit. How prevalent is observation status and how rapidly is it increasing? What challenges are hospitals facing to comply with state law and federal rules regarding hospital admissions? What administrative solutions are being tried by Medicare? What is the "two-midnight" rule and how does it work? What does it all mean for out-of-pocket costs to beneficiaries and reimbursements for hospitals?
A distinguished panel of experts addressed these and related questions.
Keith Lind, senior policy advisor, AARP Public Policy Institute, reported findings from a recent analysis of observation services and discuss changes that AARP is recommending.
Marc Hartstein, director, Medicare Hospital and Ambulatory Policy Group, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, explained observation status and provide an overview of a recently released Medicare rule.
Carol Levine, director, Families and Health Care Project, United Hospital Fund, discussed the impact on Medicare beneficiaries.
Linda Fishman, senior vice president for public policy analysis and development, American Hospital Association, highlighted the challenges to hospitals in conforming to the recent Medicare rule and state laws. She will also comment on proposed changes to the rule.
Ed Howard of the Alliance and Susan Reinhard, director of the AARP Public Policy Institute co-moderated.

A new Alliance for Health Reform video features Sister Carol Keehan of the Catholic Health Association of the United States addressing the challenges of quickly enrolling millions of Americans for health insurance this fall. Open season begins October 1 of this year, yet she says that up to 85 percent of those who will be newly eligible for Medicaid or for subsidies to buy private insurance in state-based exchanges don't know it. FULL TRANSCRIPT
Video (3:11)A new Alliance for Health Reform video features Douglas Holtz-Eakin of the American Action Forum, and a former director of the Congressional Budget Office, arguing that recent slower spending growth in health care won't continue."We also saw a slowdown in the mid-90s, and we all declared victory and it came right back. I think next year we'll see a noticeable uptick. There will be lots of new people entering the insurance markets because of the exchanges and the subsidies that come along with them, and those subsidies are very generous. … These are an invitation for people to get coverage and to buy more health care. I think that'll place a lot of pressure on spending."FULL TRANSCRIPT
Beginning October 1, insurance marketplaces open for enrollment, and millions of people will be eligible to purchase plans. To guide them in the application process, the federal government has invested in programs to train community organizations and hired staff.
The Toolkit, available here, details the ACA's employer requirements and penalty. It also includes information about the delay in the mandate to 2015, and analysis about its impact on employer-based coverage.

This month's special issue of Physics World is devoted to animal physics, and includes science writer Stephen Ornes explanation of how pond skaters effortlessly skip across water leaving nothing but a small ripple in their wake.
As Ornes writes, our current understanding of the mechanisms adopted by the pond skater is down to the efforts of David Hu, who as a mathematics graduate from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology spent four years studying their behaviour.
Hu, along with his PhD supervisor John Bush, found that pond skaters use the middle of their three pairs of legs to "row" across the water. When a rowing boat's oar slices the water, it creates swirling vortices just beneath the surface that twist away from the boat and move it forwards - the same vortices are created by tiny hairs that cover the pond skater's legs.
The hairs are the only part of the insect's body that penetrate the water and are covered in a waxy substance that keeps water out by allowing bubbles to attach to them. The hairs have subsequently drawn the attention of materials scientists looking for a permanent waterproofing material that doesn't wash off.
The pond skater (also known as the water strider) is one of a tiny proportion of insects - around 0.1 per cent - that are able to stand and move on water. They stay afloat thanks to their small weight and the surface tension of water acting like a skin; however, according to Newton's third law of motion, the pond skater must push against something to move forward, which is fairly tricky when the only thing available is water.
Previous theories had suggested that pond skaters created tiny ripples - known as "capillary waves" - with their legs which subsequently propelled them across water, but as biologist Mark Denny pointed out in 1993, this couldn't be the case as infant pond skaters cannot move their legs faster than the phase speed of the capillary waves - a feat necessary to create them.
Hu and Bush came to their conclusions by filming a group of pond skaters using high-speed cameras as they moved across a body of water filled with colourful floating particles - this helped identify the swirling vortices that were being created.
David Hu from Georgia Institute of Technology's "laboratory for biolocomotion" will present a special online lecture at 3.00 p.m. GMT on Thursday 8 November 2012, which can be viewed by registering at http://physicsworld.com.

On August 6th, the ESA's Rosetta spacecraft finally completed its decade-long voyage to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
Rosetta Spots Its Comet
The European Space Agency's comet-chasing spacecraft has imaged its destination for the first time since waking up from 957 days of hibernation.
Rosetta's Comet Awakens
The Rosetta spacecraft took these images of Comet Churyumov–Gerasimenko as it approaches the nucleus. It'll launch its lander, Philae, in November onto the nucleus's surface.
Rosetta's Comet has a Split Personality
The Rosetta spacecraft is closing in on Comet 67P/C-G, providing astronomers with an ever more detailed view of its structure. Judging by the latest photos, it actually has two components and is shaped like… a rubber ducky?
Rosetta's Comet Sleeps Again
Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko only woke briefly before starting another nap, expected on-again-off-again behavior that bodes well for the comet-chasing spacecraft's arrival in August 2014.
The End of Rosetta's Big Sleep
Europe's comet-chasing spacecraft woke up after a 957-day-long hibernation to begin the most comprehensive comet study to date. Part of its mission: attempt to place an instrumented lander on a comet's nucleus for the first time.

Dr. Coburn Signs Letter with GOP Colleagues to Speaker Boehner Regarding Greater Spending Reductions
Dr. Coburn co-signed a letter to Speaker of the House John Boehner, applauding recent House efforts to cut federal spending and asking the House to continue these efforts by passing a continuing resolution containing no less than $100 billion in spending reductions for FY2011.
Click here for the original copy of the letter.
February 3, 2011
The Honorable John Boehner
Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Mr. Speaker:
We applaud your efforts to cut out-of-control federal spending and begin the long journey to restore the federal government to its proper constitutional bounds. We conservatives in the Senate join you in this journey, and the American people clearly stand with us.
We believe that, as part of the urgent need to cut federal spending, the total value of the fiscal year 2011 spending reductions in the upcoming continuing resolution should be no less than $100 billion. The American people expect at least this level--which is just one-fifteenth of the FY2011 budget deficit.
In order to have the best chance of enacting into law $100 billion or more in spending reductions this fiscal year, we need the House to pass a CR containing no less than $100 billion in FY2011 spending cuts. Since the Democrats still control the Senate, we need the House-passed CR to be as bold as possible in order to strengthen the hand of Senate conservatives in increasing or maintaining the spending reductions.
We look forward to working with you on immediate and assertive steps to reversing the unconscionable growth of federal spending over the last decade.

Marriage? Core score down for Mr. zach619.
lost 3 in 19 years from surfing.
Don't do it! Walk away ASAP!!!!! One vag. for the rest of your life???
I dont surf or go for a run or yardwork, etc. with the wedding ring on - just like I use my casio g-shock when I'm playing & yardwork... I have a tag heure that's my 'dress watch' and my wife kinda understands the ring is a package deal with the watch and she's cool with it.
if your fiancee is going to get bent out of shape over the ring thing, maybe...you know.
19 years of marriage. Much of it in NCal - cold water, no gloves. Never thought about it, never lost it, but I have a snug fit. I almost never take it off.
Also works great as Sand Cougar repellent....
If it's important to you, get a tattoo band around your finger and skip the ring.
I wore one for a while and took it off before every surf but lost it four months after the wedding while planting bulbs in the garden one November as the sun went down and it got cold and my fingers shrank. Bought a $25 replacement and lost it in two weeks. Now neither my wife nor I wear rings. No big deal.
I try to take mine off, but have forgot a few times plus it has only been a year and half. Judging by the number of lost ring stories I need to make sure I take it off 100% or go buy a less sentimental ring. I wear my deceased father's ring and I think I would go off the richter if I lost it!!! I am thinking I need to visit the bubble gum machine to get me a "stand-in ring".
Married 26 years, with the original ring.
Always take it off. If my wife is on the beach when I go out she will ask if I have it on. I've worn it under gloves - by accident - and it's not that noticeable with the today's gloves.
Congrats Zach, and good luck.

The Bangor Daily News today is reporting one of the industry's newest ships accidentally dumped waste water this week while visiting Bar Harbor, Maine.
The news outlet says American Cruise Lines' just-unveiled, 104-passenger Independence on Monday released an unknown quantity of "gray water," as the waste water from showers and sinks on ships is known, into the town's harbor as it was docked at the town's pier.
The incident only involved the ship's gray water and no sewage was released into the harbor, the Daily News quotes the town's harbor master as saying.

ALSO ONLINE: Carnival tests new smoking rules on ships
"It was enough to discolor the water around the ship and had some odor to it," harbor master Charlie Phippen told the paper.
The Daily News says a lab test of the water next to the ship soon after the discharge found high levels of bacteria, but no long term impact is expected. It's the first time since 2004 there's been such an incident in the harbor, the news outlet says. Bar Harbor draws more than 100 cruise ships a year.

EPAG Minutes
Tuesday, April 29, 2008
Campus Center 215
Jayne Niemi, Ellen Guyer, Terri Fishel, Peter Weisensel, Diane Michelfelder, Kendrick Brown, Karl Wirth, Manoj Vemula, Pete Ferderer, David Martyn, Dan Keyser, Paul Maitland-McKinley, Eric Wiertelak
1. Minutes: The minutes from the previous meeting were approved.
2. Course changes: The course changes were approved as listed on the previously distributed memo.
3. Revised CNS proposal: We asked questions of Eric, mostly about the naming of the program, and the various decisions made in the spirit and interest of collegiality and compromise. This is one major, with two paths through the major. We asked him to tell us more about the request for a waiver of the 2 person FTE floor. How will that work? First, they have to be a department, then they may pursue an allocations request. The program will continue to offer the major, and if a position is not allocated, it will have to go away. Eric removed himself from the room so the proposal could be discussed. And so it was. Just what does recommending this to the faculty mean? We have to be clear, it seems, that what the faculty votes might bind future allocations committees to the decision of the faculty. We reviewed our options and then the question was called. Should EPAG recommend this to the faculty? There were 7 in favor and 1 opposed. Kendrick would appreciate emails to write up the rationale. Eric was allowed to return.
4. Targeted hire: The English department has a request in for a targeted hire to replace a departing faculty member. Diane described the history of this position and the possible candidate that is targeted. We discussed whether this qualified as fulfilling the mission of the policy on targeted hires. We reviewed the goals of the strategic hire, and polled the members for their opinion. A majority of the group were favorable towards the request going forward.
Adjourned at 6 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Jayne Niemi, Registrar
Macalester College · 1600 Grand Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55105 USA · 651-696-6000

Bulletin Writer James V. Magee
September 25, 1986
By JIM NICHOLSON, Daily News Staff Writer
James V. Magee, a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for the Evening Bulletin, died Tuesday. He was 73 and lived in the Frankford section of Philadelphia. In 1963, Magee and reporter Albert V. Gaudiosi, along with photographer Frederick A. Meyer, used camera and notebook to record the operations of a major betting operation in South Philadelphia that included payoffs to police officers. Six weeks after the surveillance began, federal agents raided the operation and the Bulletin published a dramatic series of articles and photographs.
Hit On Right Approach Mcrae's Tutelage Has Cf Magee On A Tear
March 27, 1997
by Sam Donnellon, Daily News Sports Writer
Phillies hitting coach Hal McRae calls it using "the whole dollar. " Sometimes players need a charm or a routine to click their hitting switch to "on. " For Wendell Magee Jr., it was McRae's little phrase. "He used it about three weeks ago," Magee said after belting his first three home runs of the spring in a 14-10 win against the Kansas City Royals yesterday. "He would tell me something every other week. He's a great teacher. He wouldn't tell me everything that was wrong at the same time.
Jefferson Plans To Add Magee To Rehab System The Hospitals Already Work Together. Jefferson Would Have A Lock On 40% Of Phila.'s Market.
May 30, 1997
By Marian Uhlman, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Jefferson Health System took a major step yesterday toward becoming the region's powerhouse for hospital-based rehabilitation care. The health system said it planned to add 96-bed Magee Rehabilitation Hospital of Philadelphia to its growing system. The hospitals said they hoped to reach a definitive agreement by late June and will seek regulatory approval under anti-trust laws. If the deal goes through, Jefferson would have a lock on nearly 40 percent of the rehabilitation beds in the five-county Philadelphia area.
Police Face Gunfire In House Raid
February 28, 1987
By Edward Colimore, Inquirer Staff Writer
Police came under gunfire early yesterday when they raided a South Philadelphia rowhouse where they suspected stolen goods were bought and sold, according to Lt. Robert Magee of the major-crimes unit. No one was injured, and police did not return the gunfire, Magee said. A woman who fled the house during the raid was being sought in connection with the shooting, he said. Officers confiscated thousands of dollars worth of suspected stolen goods in the rowhouse's first-floor apartment, including watches, stereos, televisions and about 80 rounds of handgun and rifle ammunition, Magee said.
Swede Success Ex-textile Star Is Continuing His Basketball Career Abroad
August 16, 1987
By David Porter, Special to The Inquirer
Chances are, if it's summertime, Tom Gussen can be found on a basketball court, playing for one of several teams in and around the Northeast. The 6-foot-7 forward, formerly of Philadelphia College of Textiles & Science, competes for the Phil's Shoes team in the Disston League and for Gilhooley's in the Ramp/Pollack League. He also had been playing in the prestigious Baker League until it suspended operations recently. Gussen, 24, is much like players he competes against, many of whom are current or former local college players, such as Mo Connolly of St. Joseph's and Bob Convey of La Salle.
Penn Wood's Alston Accepts Scholarship From Phila. Textile
June 14, 1992
By Bill Doherty, INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT
Penn Wood senior guard Steve Alston has accepted a partial scholarship to Philadelphia Textile, capping a strong local recruiting class for the Rams. The 6-foot, 3-inch Alston, the Del-Val League's most valuable player, who averaged 19.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3.5 steals for Penn Wood (23-8), chose Textile over Bloomsburg. "I picked Textile mostly because of Coach (Herb) Magee," said Alston, who will major in business. "He has a winning program at Textile, and I've gotten used to winning.
Dawning Of Dude Begins On Weekend

by Paul Hagen, Daily News Sports Writer
It has been almost two years now since Lenny Dykstra walked to the batter's box, fidgeting all the way. Almost two years since he swung a baseball bat under game conditions. That will change this weekend. The Phillies open their exhibition season this afternoon with a game against the Blue Jays in Dunedin. Dykstra isn't expected to play, but should start against Toronto tomorrow at Jack Russell Stadium and against the Yankees Sunday at Legends Field in Tampa. "I'm looking forward to it," he said yesterday.
Saint Joseph's coach Martelli taking a walk of inspiration
February 16, 2011
By DICK JERARDI, firstname.lastname@example.com
PHIL MARTELLI WAS in his office one day last season, the door closed, the word out that he was not to be disturbed. If you have been around the Saint Joseph's coach when he watches tape, you know he occupies a world all his own. One of the student-managers got a call in the basketball office. She thought it important enough to knock timidly on the coach's door. "She said, 'You really need to take this call,' " Martelli remembered. It was Leti Martelli. She wanted to tell the coach about her son Lenny.

They work in the shadow of the Big 5 schools and Drexel. Crowds at their games frequently are small and media coverage is minimal. However Herb Magee, Bobby Morgan and C. Alan Rowe are recognized among knowledgeable basketball people as three of the nation's best hoops minds. Among them, they have 1,699 victories. The three will be among the first inductees into the Philadelphia Area Small College Basketball Hall of Fame. Ceremonies are noon Tuesday at Philadelphia Pharmacy's Wilson Hall.
Denied Escape, Escobar's Family Returns Home New Threats By Los Pepes Prompt A Bitter Response From The Fugitive.
December 12, 2000
By Mark Bowden, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
When the Lufthansa plane carrying the family of Pablo Escobar finally landed in Frankfurt, Germany, on a Sunday afternoon in November 1993, it was forced to taxi to a remote spot on an alternate runway, out of the view of press waiting in the terminal. Colombian President Cesar Gaviria had been on the phone to officials in Spain and Germany, urging them to refuse the Escobars. He explained that if the family was safely removed from Colombia, there would be another vicious bombing campaign by Pablo Escobar.

Area colleges: Herb Magee nearing another milestone
November 21, 2014
by Marc Narducci, Inquirer Staff Writer
With Herb Magee about to achieve another significant milestone as basketball coach at Philadelphia University, his team enters the season with high expectations. Magee, now in his 48th season guiding the Rams, is 15 wins away from 1,000. Already a member of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, Magee has a 985-391 career mark. This year there will be no slowing down for the 73-year-old Magee or the Rams. Philadelphia U. is coming off a 25-7 season. The Rams were champions of the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference and earned a berth in the NCAA Division II playoffs.
At Philadelphia U., Shirley is OK working in Magee's shadow
March 3, 2014
By Mike Jensen, Inquirer Columnist
Herb Magee isn't really chasing history. It's more like history is along for the ride as Philadelphia University's coach does his thing, year after year. A first-round Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference playoff victory for his 23-6 Rams Saturday put Magee up to 983 in his career, the most in NCAA hoops. He's in a kind of race with Duke's Mike Krzyzewski for all-time winningest coach in men's basketball. Krzyzewski tied Magee a couple of times this season but hasn't gotten by him. Here's the interesting thing: There's another guy who has been running right alongside Magee for the last 25 years.
Philly U's Magee leading Krzyzewski
December 18, 2013
BY TOM MAHON, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com
TIME FOR a Herb Magee update. Magee's Philadelphia University basketball squad lost to Boston College, 67-50, Sunday. BC is coached by Steve Donahue, who was once an assistant under Magee at Philly U, a Division II school. BC is Division I, so the game was an exhibition for Magee and did not count against his overall record. The Eagles, however, got a win, but the game didn't count in their RPI. Got all that? Magee still has a two-game lead over Duke's Mike Krzyzewski as the all-time winningest NCAA men's basketball coach.
Herb Magee recalls basketball days at historic prison
May 1, 2013
By Mike Jensen, Inquirer Staff Writer
At first, Herb Magee wasn't sure. It had been more than half a century since Magee stood in this spot, between Cell Blocks 5 and 6 inside Eastern State Penitentiary on Fairmount Avenue. The sights all around him quickly began matching up to his memories. Magee could envision inmates sitting on a low-hanging roof over a cell block, watching a basketball game, a game he was playing in. "This is it," Philadelphia University's Hall of Fame coach decided. Magee had been there a couple of times to play against inmates, once in high school, once in college.
Philadelphia U.'s Magee gets 950th
January 14, 2013
By the Inquirer Staff
Philadelphia University's Herb Magee became the first NCAA men's basketball head coach to win 950 career games as the visiting Rams (9-6, 5-2 CACC) beat Chestnut Hill College, 67-63, on Saturday. Jim Connolly (Souderton) led the Rams with 17 points, with teammates Peter Alexis adding 11 points and 12 rebounds and Nick Christian (Bensalem) posting 10 points and 11 rebounds. Mark DiRugeris Jr. (Woodbury) had 21 points for the Griffins (7-8, 3-3). Magee, a West Catholic graduate and Hall of Famer, has coached at Philadelphia University, formerly Textile, since 1967.
At Magee, furry therapist is a patient's best friend
August 1, 2012
By Meeri Kim, Inquirer Staff Writer
The newest member of the therapy team at Jefferson's Magee Rehabilitation Hospital has perfect windswept blond hair, loves long walks through Rittenhouse Square, and is a proud member of . . . the squirrel patrol? Introducing Ford - an eight-year-old golden retriever. His job? Offering friendly, nonjudgmental companionship, he subtly encourages patients to keep doing what they need to do to recover. "Ford is by far the most popular staff member in this hospital," chief medical officer Guy W. Fried said with a laugh.
Marcus Hayes: Sixers' ugly win: Roll over, Herb Magee
May 16, 2012
By Marcus Hayes, Daily News Columnist
BOSTON - Doug Collins, basketball professor, loves to wax educational when his teams play poorly. So, what's the lesson this time? KG is old? Herb Magee lives? Did the Sixers learn they can coast through the first few minutes, dig a 9-0 hole and still have a chance? That they can blow a second double-digit late lead and still win? That they have 5 seconds - not 6, not 4, but 5 - to inbound the ball? Maybe they learned that any game can be theirs. Maybe they learned that the Celtics cannot defend their guards.
Magee leads Galaxy
October 31, 2011
MIKE MAGEE has played every position for Los Angeles this season - defender, midfielder, forward, even goalkeeper for one game. Yesterday, it was his scoring touch that gave the Galaxy an advantage in their playoff series against New York. Magee scored the only goal of the match, off a long cross from David Beckham, in the 15th minute, giving the visiting Galaxy a 1-0 win against the Red Bulls in the first leg of the Western Conference semifinals. Magee's goal enables Los Angeles to head home needing only a tie or a win on Thursday night to advance to the conference final.
Sixers' Evan Turner works on shooting with Herb Magee
September 10, 2011
By Kate Fagan, Inquirer Staff Writer
One thing is clear: Evan Turner would like the basketball. The 76ers sophomore guard has spent this summer splitting time among three places, but has also spent a good deal of his summer working with Hall of Famer and Philadelphia University coach Herb Magee, who has been tweaking Turner's shot. "I knew I had a hitch in my shot," said Turner, who was in Chicago. "I just wanted to get it together. I didn't want to shoot any balls short. I wanted to understand the basic principle of jump-shooting, all of that, what to look for. Coach Magee has been helping me out a lot. " During his rookie season, Turner averaged 7.2 points and 3.9 rebounds in 23.0 minutes a game, disappointing numbers for the No. 2 overall selection in the 2010 NBA draft.
Magee enshrined into Basketball Hall of Fame
August 13, 2011
BY DICK JERARDI, email@example.com
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. - Herb Magee was wandering through the exhibits yesterday afternoon when he spotted a Larry Bird mannequin in shooting position. He checked his guide hand. Perfect. He felt under his shooting hand to see that the proper distance had been maintained between the ball and palm. Also perfect. "My man," Magee said, as he moved on. Just around the corner was a statue of Dr. James Naismith. Before he saw the "Do not touch" sign, Magee hugged the man who hung those peach baskets in this town late in the 19th Century.
