Updated 2 years ago
Health Management Associates Inc. of Naples, Fla., said Wednesday it has promoted D. Melody Trimble of Fort Smith to president of the company's Southern and Western Group, which includes 26 hospitals in seven states.
The promotion is effective Jan. 1.
Trimble is currently vice president and market CEO of Health Management's Sparks Health System and Summit Medical Center in Fort Smith. Before that, she held several executive positions at Health Management-owned facilities in Florida, South Carolina and Oklahoma.
She joined Health Management in 1991.
Trimble announced the move to hospital staff on Wednesday.
"This is one of the toughest decisions I have ever made," she said. "Professionally, I am thrilled for the opportunity to have oversight of 26 hospitals, including Sparks and Summit; however, personally, I will miss you, the finest group of physicians, nurses and health care professionals I have ever had the privilege to lead."
In her new role, Trimble will report to Gary D. Newsome, president and CEO of Health Management, a publicly traded hospital company (NYSE: %%HMA%%) with about 10,500 licensed beds in non-urban communities throughout the country.
"Melody has been a successful leader throughout her career at Health Management, most recently by growing Sparks into the thriving health system it is today," Newsome said. "With her nursing background, she understands the vital role nurses play in working with physicians to provide high-quality care with a human touch to our patients, and now she can bring that perspective to a larger group of our hospitals."
Trimble will replace Joe D. Pinion, who announced his retirement from the company effective at the end of the year.

Virgin America has been trying to gain access to the slot-controlled Newark airport has seen no "encouraging signs," according to CEO David Cush in an interview.
Cush said the airline had been working on gaining access "before we decided to fly to Philadelphia. He added, "we were working closely with the FAA, they were doing what they could, but very simply their hands are tied also by the slot language."
The airline also attempted to obtain slots through the "open market and tried to buy slots in many different places and either were turned down by the carriers holding the slots or outbid by United."
"I'm hopeful that at some point, especially as we start getting more RNP approaches into New York's airports as is mandated by the FAA reauthorization bill, that's going to open some airspace and will allow us to get in," Cush added.
Virgin has shown an interest in Newark for awhile. When I interviewed David in October 2010, for example, he wasn't pleased with the deal where Newark slots were divested to Southwest to address competitive concerns raise by the government over the Continental/United merger, saying, "We would've put in flights to LAX and to San Francisco where it would cause the most competitive harm to United now.
"it's just outrageous that the government allowed that to happen number one, and number two allowed Continental to chose who they were going to compete against. That's not the way competition policy is supposed to work," Cush added then.

Drop Pods are atmospheric assault transports that are primarily used by the Adeptus Astartes and their Chaos Space Marine counterparts for orbital insertion and planetary assaults where achieving tactical surprise is often an important factor. Drop Pods, along with Thunderhawks, Thunderhawk Transporters, Storm Eagles, Storm Ravens, Caestus Assault Rams and Teleporters make up the majority of a Space Marine Chapter's means to deploy their forces to the surface of a planet quickly. Drop Pods resemble the standard Imperial Life Pod that is used to evacuate the crews of severely damaged starships. These craft are used as a one-way, environmentally sealed armoured landing craft to insert forces right into the heart of a battle or deep behind enemy lines.
The ultimate weapon of terror and suprise, when a Drop Pod lands directly in the midst of an enemy line or formation and its occupants disembark and start wreaking havoc, there is little escape for the foe. Drop Pods are fired with colossal acceleration from an orbiting Strike Cruiser or Battle Barge, after which it screams through a planet's atmosphere with oversized rocket thrusters boosting it even further beyond terminal velocity; even the most advanced air defence systems have difficulty locking on to a Drop Pod travelling at up to 12,000 kilometres per hour. At these velocities, it takes only a matter of solar minutes, or even seconds, for a Drop Pod to reach its destination as it plummets through the atmosphere, only firing its retro thrusters at the last possible moment before making a devastating impact on the planetary surface with enough force to crush most structures. Drop Pod assaults are fraught with peril as the craft possesses few defences against enemy anti-aircraft fire or other aircraft or debris present in the air while they are plummeting downwards at full speed. Additionally, the passengers must lend their trust to the guidance systems of the craft's Machine Spirit (Artificial Intelligence) to safely deliver them to their destination. During the descent it is common for Space Marines to give voice to prayers to the Emperor and hymns of vengeance, steeling themselves against the danger of violent orbital entry and preparing themselves for the battle ahead.
While many Astartes Chapters use Drop Pods for quick insertions or deep strikes, others such as the Invaders or the Black Consuls will use Drop Pod assaults to launch the majority of their entire Chapter into combat. In these situations, massed Drop Pod assaults light up the sky of the target world as hundreds of these screaming harbingers of woe streak across the firmament. There are few enemies who can withstand this tactic, as the Space Marines will land in and amongst places that only moments before were considered a safe haven. After a Drop Pod is used it will remain on the battlefield until it can be retrieved by the Chapter's Techmarines, usually by use of a Thunderhawk Transporter.
- "Er…Boss? Remember on Borsk when da sky caught fire and we saw them comet-fings with da Emperor's Boyz in 'em? Well, here they come again…""
- — Grudley, assistant to Big Mek Ognutz
The Adeptus Astartes has made use of the Drop Pod since the very beginning of the Great Crusade when they were still full-sized Space Marine Legions. These spacecraft, which could quickly rain down forces comprised of hundreds or even thousands of Astartes, were used to quickly bring a world into Imperial Compliance. Drop Pods were used by both sides in the great interstellar civil war known as the Horus Heresy, when thousands of Drop Pods brought both Traitor and Loyalist Astartes down into combat against their former brothers. Drop Pods assaults were the preferred method of planetary insertion for several of the Space Marine Legions, such as the World Eaters and the Space Wolves. Drop Pods are still used by most of the Traitor Legions even after the passage of 10,000 standard years, yet many Chaos Space Marine warbands now favour the use of the ancient Dreadclaw Drop Pod, as it is more advanced than the standard pattern Drop Pod. The Dreadclaw was the most advanced assault boat used during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, yet a dangerous flaw in its Machine Spirit, which allowed it to become highly self-aware, lead to it no longer being used by the Loyalist Astartes.
There exist many variants of the standard Drop Pod, from smaller single-man versions to large Drop Pods capable of delivering a Dreadnought into combat. The following are known Space Marine Drop Pod variants:
Standard Drop Pod
The standard pattern of Adeptus Astartes Drop Pod is capable of carrying up to 12 Space Marines into combat. They are launched from a vessel in low orbit towards the drop zone, usually in the midst of or near a battlefield. Once launched, the Drop Pod plummets through the atmosphere until its retro rockets fire to slow its descent. A Machine Spirit (on-board computer) guides the Drop Pod to its destination and can receive further commands from the Pod's mothership. Although a Drop Pod becomes immobile after having landed on a planetary surface, it can later be recovered by the Chapter's Techmarines and reused. These spacecraft are capable of being armed with a single Storm Bolter or Deathwind Missile Launcher that is able to provide covering fire for the disembarking Astartes. During the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy Drop Pods were equipped with a set of twin-linked Bolters. Although it is not standard, Drop Pods are able to be modified to carry Space Marines in Terminator Armour, yet this practise is rarely utilised due to Terminator Armour's capability to teleport directly into combat as long a Teleport Homer is first deployed. When a Drop Pod is modified to carry Space Marines in Terminator Armour, two standard-sized restraints must be replaced with a single large restraint due to the sheer bulk of Terminator Armour.
Thunderfire Drop Pod
The Thunderfire Drop Pod is a standard pattern Drop Pod with most of its internal seating restraints removed, so that the craft is capable of carrying a single Thunderfire Cannon and its crew into combat to provide heavy fire support for the occupants of other Drop Pods in a single assault, as Drop Pods are not large enough to deliver vehicles into combat from orbit.
Rapier Drop Pod
The Rapier Drop Pod is a standard pattern Drop Pod with most of its internal seating restraints removed, so that the spacecraft is capable of carrying a single Rapier mobile heavy-weapon platform and its crew into combat to provide heavy fire support for the occupants of other Drop Pods in a single assault, since Drop Pods are not large enough to deliver vehicles into combat from orbit. These Drop Pods were commonly used during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras of the late 30th and early 31st Millennia by the Space Marine Legions.
Squad Drop Pod
A smaller variant of the standard pattern Drop Pod, this variant carries only a single squad of 10 Space Marines into combat. Like the standard Drop Pod, this variant is also capable of being armed with a single Storm Bolter or Deathwind Missile Launcher that is able to provide covering fire for the disembarking Astartes.
Combat-Squad Drop Pod
An even smaller variant of the standard pattern Drop Pod, this variant can carry a demi-squad of 5 Astartes into combat, although it is usually used to insert forces behind enemy lines to conduct covert operations against the enemy.
Single-Man Drop Pods
These very small variants of the standard Drop Pod are capable of delivering a single person to the battlefield, and are usually used to deliver important Astartes officers such as Captains or Librarians to the planet's surface. These small spacecraft can also deliver other needed cargo such as special wargear or even Servitors if needed.
Dreadnought Drop Pod
The Dreadnought Drop Pod is the largest known Drop Pod variant used by the Adeptus Astartes, and is capable of delivering a single Dreadnought into combat. This variant is slightly larger than the standard Drop Pod, yet lacks any and all internal non-essential equipment, such as restraints and weapon holders, which are not present to make room for the bulk of the Dreadnought. The Dreadnought Drop Pod uses three or four large external door ramps as opposed to the smaller ones used on other types of Drop Pods. These Drop Pods are capable of delivering both Contemptor Dreadnoughts and now-standard Mars Pattern Mark IV and Mark V Dreadnoughts to the battlefield.
Deathstorm Drop Pod
The Deathstorm Drop Pod is a variant pattern of the standard Drop Pod that carries heavy weaponry instead of Space Marines. These heavy weapons are slaved to a targeting Cogitator, and once the assault ramps have opened, the weapons will open fire on anything outside of the spacecraft. These weapons will only fire in the direction of the ramp they are positioned at and will strafe the immediate area with weapons fire. These weapons do not possess auto-targeting capabilities and will fire indiscriminately at the area around them until all ammunition is expended, although by the time this happens the Drop Pods carrying the Space Marines themselves will have landed and started disgorging Astartes onto the battlefield to face any enemies that survived the onslaught unleashed by the Deathstorm Drop Pod. The Deathstorm Drop Pod can be equipped with either five Assault Cannons or five Whirlwind Missile Launchers, one of these weapons positioned at each of the spacecraft's assault ramps.
Deathwind Drop Pod
The Deathwind variant of the Drop Pod is no longer used by the Adeptus Astartes. This variant, similar in nearly every way to the Deathstorm variant that ultimately replaced it, was originally armed with Deathwind Missile Launchers to provide fire support. This variant has been replaced with the Deathstorm variant due to Whirlwind Missile Launchers being more powerful than Deathwind Missile Launchers and just as easy and cost effective to manufacture.
Supply Drop Pods
Supply Drop Pods are Drop Pods that can be delivered to Space Marine forces operating behind enemy lines or otherwise away from an area where it is possible for them to readily resupply. Supply Drop Pods can be used to deliver anything that is needed to a squad, such as foodstuffs, weapons, ammunition, and wargear such as Jump Packs.
Non-Astartes and Non-Imperial Drop Pods
The following is a list of all known non-Astartes and non-Imperial Drop Pod variants and crafts of similar function:
Chaos Drop Pod
The Traitor Legions and Renegade Space Marines also make use of the Drop Pod. Chaos Drop Pods are similar in every way to their Loyalist counterpart, although they are usually warped and twisted beyond recognition by their time spent in the Eye of Terror. They often have various non-standard customisations added to them by their Chaos Space Marine masters and are covered in blasphemous Chaotic iconography. The standard Drop Pod is used alongside the rarer and more advanced Dreadclaw.
The Dreadclaw is an ancient Drop Pod pattern dating back to the time of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy that can also be used as an assault boat for ship-to-ship combat. Unlike other Drop Pods, it is able to take off after landing. Dreadclaws are exclusively used by the Traitor Legions of the Chaos Space Marines. The Dreadclaw was the most advanced assault boat used during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy, yet a dangerous flaw in its Machine Spirit, which allowed it to become highly self-aware and nearly sentient, lead to it no longer being used by Loyalist Astartes.
Eversor Temple
The Imperial Assassins of the Officio Assassinorum's Eversor Temple are deployed in special Drop Pods that prepare them for their missions. These Pods are equipped with neuro-links that feed the details of the mission directly to the Assassin's mind while remote links activate and begin to prepare his body for the task at hand. Once the Drop Pod lands at the appropriate destination the Assassin is fully briefed on the mission at hand and is fully awoken from his or her stasis.
Life Pods
The Life Pod is the ancestor spacecraft from which all Drop Pods are derived. Life Pods are used by many intelligent, space-faring species throughout the galaxy to evacuate their starship crew members during an emergency. These pods are known by many different names and designations, yet they all are designed to do the same thing: get their passengers away from danger. Life Pods are usually equipped with advanced life support systems and navigation equipment, allowing them to safely remove themselves from danger. Life Pods can be used to land the escaped crew on a planet's surface or simply make their way to a nearby friendly starship or space station to be retrieved. Sometimes these spacecraft may be captured by the enemy, the escaped crew held as hostages or simply enslaved or killed. The quality of the spacecraft's life support, navigational equipment, comfort and safety features, and overall ability to keep its cargo from dying, varies from species to species. Tau Life Pods feature ample room, comfortable seating, and even shielded view ports, while Imperial Life Pods tend to be more spartan and utilitarian.
Ork Roks and Krash-Kapsuls
The Orks have their own version of Drop Pods, from the small (yet much larger than an Imperial Drop Pod) Krash-Kapsul to the massive Roks. Krash-Kapsuls are rarely used by Orks as they much rather prefer to use the larger Roks to get their forces into the fight quickly. Ork Roks are essentially a hollowed-out asteroid that is plated in thick armour, outfitted with large engines, and armed with a vast number of very big weapons. The Orks will deliberately slam these craft straight into the ground of a target world, causing massive amounts of damage to whatever it hits. After the Rok hits its destination, the surviving Orks will quickly swarm out of the wreck and engage their targets.
Tyranid Mycetic Spores
Mycetic Spores are large, living shells used to transport Tyranid bioforms from Tyranid Hive Ships to a planet's surface. They are considered the Tyranid equivalent of an Imperial Drop Pod, as they function in much the same way. Mycetic Spores are designed to survive the gravitational and thermal stresses of orbital insertion and to protect their organic cargo from impact with the planet's surface. Once through the upper atmosphere, the spores alter their shape to slow descent. The spores themselves die soon after impact, having safely released a swarm of Tyranid creatures.
Notable Deployments of the Drop Pod

- Aurelian Crusades - The Blood Ravens Chapter deployed Drop Pods during all three of the Aurelian Crusades. They also made use of Drop Pods during the Tartarus, Kronus, and Kaurava Campaigns.
- Scouring of Tsagualsa - The Ultramarines, along with every single one of their Successor Chapters at the time, such as the Novamarines, Aurora Chapter, and the Genesis Chapter, launched a full-scale invasion against Tsagualsa, the home of the Night Lords Traitor Legion after the Horus Heresy. During this invasion the sky was lit with the trails of thousands of Drop Pods as they screamed towards the planet.
- Burning of Prospero - The entire Space Wolves Legion was unleashed against the Thousand Sons and their homeworld of Prospero in the early days of the Horus Heresy in the early 31st Millennium. The Space Wolves' Drop Pods delivered those avenging Astartes to Prospero's planetary capital of Tizca.
- Istvaan III Atrocity - During the Istvaan III Atrocity, the Traitor elements of the World Eaters, Sons of Horus, Death Guard, and the Emperor's Children Space Marine Legions made use of Drops Pods to land ground forces to exterminate their Loyalist counterparts.
- Badab War - During the Badab War Loyalist forces such as the Salamanders, Marines Errant, Minotaurs, and Red Scorpions and the Secessionists, including the Astral Claws and Lamenters, used Drop Pods in their battle for control of the Badab Sector.

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.

Unemployment, education, health care, housing, justice: issues for African Americans, issues for all
T.J. Kirkpatrick/Getty Images
A participant holds up a poster of Martin Luther King, Jr. as marchers wait to leave Dunbar High School for the 'Reclaim the Dream' march to commemorate the 47th anniversary of King's March on Washington, in Washington, D.C. on Aug. 28, 2010.
Even as the economy is struggling back to its feet, what are the major concerns for African Americans in the current political and economic climate? With his Poor People's Campaign, started in 1967, Dr. King targeted income and housing relief for all the poor, not just blacks below the poverty line. Where are we 44 years later? Unemployment among the poor is extremely high, high school drop-out rates soar, obtaining housing and good nutrition is a challenge in low-income areas, and equality of justice sometimes seems impossible. Should we just give up on King's dream? Reverend Eric Lee, of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference of Greater LA, and Professor Eddie Glaude of Princeton say no. What say you?

Judge: Jolie didn't plagiarize
LOS ANGELES - A federal judge said actress Angelina Jolie didn't steal the story for her movie "In the Land of Blood and Honey" from a Croatian author.
City News Service reported the tentative ruling in Los Angeles will throw out the suit accusing Ms. Jolie of copyright infringement.
In 2011, author James Braddock sued Ms. Jolie and the film company that made the film, saying it was partly based on his book "The Soul Shattering."
U.S. District Judge Dolly M. Gee wrote in a tentative ruling that the plots, characters and themes in the two works were not "substantially" similar, though both centered on war romances.
Ms. Jolie wrote, directed and co-produced the film. Mr. Braddock has been ordered to tell the court why his complaint should not be dismissed with prejudice.
Scorsese plans 'Gangs' series
NEW YORK - Martin Scorsese is developing a TV series based on his 2002 film "Gangs of New York."
The director is partnering with Miramax, which released the Oscar-nominated film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis.
The series expands on the brutal, 19th-century New York gang world of the film. Miramax said the series will chronicle the birth of organized crime in not just New York but also in cities such as Chicago and New Orleans.

Google Breaks $900 on 'Must Own' Call (Update 1)
Updated from 9:05 a.m. ET to include more analysis in the fifth paragraph.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Google (GOOG) shares have been on a tear this year, gaining 26.3% year-to-date, trouncing the major indices. Ahead of earnings, one analyst thinks it has significantly more room to run.
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Youssef Squali, who rates shares "buy" with a $1,030 price target, believes that Google has firmly entrenched itself into all facets of the Internet, and sees multiple areas of growth ahead for the Mountain View, Calif.-based company. "One reason why we consider Google a 'must-own' name in our space is the company's sheer scale across virtually every facet of the Internet ecosystem," Squali wrote in the note. "Google has maintained its commanding position in paid search, extended its lead on mobile platforms, built out and fostered the dominant online video platform, has claim to the most-used web browser, and even built the largest integrated ad exchange/tech stack in the business."
Google has certainly become a household name, with its commanding lead in search (owning 66.7% of the market), as well as properties such as Android, YouTube, Chrome and other properties. Perhaps it doesn't have the brand cachet from a consumer standpoint that Apple (AAPL) or Samsung do, but Google has built up enough brand loyalty that its software and services have become "must-haves" for consumers and enterprise alike.Owning two-thirds of the search market has allowed Google to venture off into different areas of the Internet, as it makes the vast majority of its money from search and advertising. Businesses such as Chrome, Android and Maps particularly, are free to users, but allow Google to collect information about its users, and maintain its share of the search market, leaving Microsoft's (MSFT) Bing and Yahoo! (YHOO) far behind. Bing owns 17.4% of the market, with Yahoo! owning 11.9%, according to Squali. Optimism surrounding Google right now is extremely high. Of the 34 analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters, the mean price target is $950, with one analyst having an $1,100 price target. There are several on the Street who have price targets above $1,000 per share. This is particularly important, as search continues to see an increase in inquiries. Research firm comScore notes that search has seen an increase of 14.1% year-over-year to 13.4 billion inquiries in the month of May. That should help boost earnings, as Squali estimates that Google owns 80% of the global ad budget. That figured is boosted by DoubleClick, which Google acquired in 2007 for $3.1 billion. DoubeClick accounts for nearly half of the real-time bidding (approximately $3.3 billion) on advertising spending, according to Squali. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters are looking for Google to earn $10.79 per share on $14.45 billion in revenue. Google reports earnings after the close of trading on July 15. Shares of Google climbed past $900 in early Monday trading, gaining 1.1% to $903.30. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in New York >Contact by Email. Follow @Chris_Ciaccia

Placental expulsion
Placental expulsion (also called afterbirth) occurs when the placenta comes out of the birth canal after childbirth. The period from just after the baby is expelled until just after the placenta is expelled is called the third stage of labor.
It begins as a physiological separation from the wall of the uterus. The placenta is usually expelled within 15–30 minutes of the baby being born.
Maternal blood loss is limited by contraction of the uterus following birth of the placenta. Normal blood loss is less than 600 mL.
The third stage of labor can be managed actively, or it could be managed expectantly (also known as physiological management or passive management), the latter allowing the placenta to be expelled without medical assistance.
Active management routinely involves clamping of the umbilical cord, often within seconds or minutes of birth. It may also involve giving oxytocin via intramuscular injection, followed by cord traction to assist in delivering the placenta. The oxytocic agents augment uterine muscular contraction and the cord traction assists with rapid birth of the placenta. However, premature cord traction can pull the placenta before it has naturally detached from the uterine wall, resulting in hemorrhage.
A Cochrane database study[1] suggests that blood loss and the risk of postpartum bleeding will be reduced in women offered active management of the third stage of labour. However, the use of ergometrine for active management was associated with nausea or vomiting and hypertension, and controlled cord traction requires the immediate clamping of the umbilical cord.
A summary[2] of the Cochrane study came to the results that active management of the third stage of labour, consisting of controlled cord traction, early cord clamping plus drainage, and a prophylactic oxytocic agent, reduced postpartum haemorrhage by 500 or 1000 mL or greater, as well as related morbidities including mean blood loss, incidences of postpartum haemoglobin becoming less than 9 g/dL, blood transfusion, need for supplemental iron postpartum, and length of third stage of labour. Although active management increased adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, and headache, women were less likely to be dissatisfied.[2]
Breastfeeding soon after birth and massaging of the top of the uterus (the fundus) causes uterine contractions that encourage birth of the placenta.
Although uncommon, in some cultures the placenta is kept and consumed by the mother over the weeks following the birth. This practice is termed placentophagy.
Retained placenta[edit]
A retained placenta is a placenta that doesn't undergo expulsion within a normal time limit. Risks of retained placenta include hemorrhage and infection. If the placenta fails to deliver in 30 minutes in a hospital environment, manual extraction may be required if heavy ongoing bleeding occurs, and very rarely a curettage is necessary to ensure that no remnants of the placenta remain (in rare conditions with very adherent placenta, placenta accreta). However, in birth centers and attended home birth environments, it is common for licensed care providers to wait for the placenta's birth up to 2 hours in some instances.
In most mammalian species, the mother bites through the cord and consumes the placenta, primarily for the benefit of prostaglandin on the uterus after birth. This is known as placentophagy. However, it has been observed in zoology that chimpanzees apply themselves to nurturing their offspring, and keep the fetus, cord, and placenta intact until the cord dries and detaches the next day.
The placenta exists in most mammals and some reptiles. It is probably polyphyletic, having arisen separately in evolution rather than being inherited from one distant common ancestor.
Studies on pigs indicate that the duration of placenta expulsion increases significantly with increased duration of farrowing.[3]

Multicultural, friendly and relaxed. Post card-perfect. That's how things are on laidback Mauritius, a tiny island-nation in the Indian Ocean off the African coast. With a storied past and charming Creole architecture, this welcoming place is a tropical-paradise, true. It's got the steep, volcanic velvety-green mountains jutting up from the swaying palms, the crystalline sea, sugar cane fields and coral islets. Mauritius is also home to some of the world's most rare plants and animals, including the extinct Dodo bird. But it's also a bit out of the way—exactly why you'll like it.
You and the kids can wiggle your toes in the white sand, hunt for giant tortoises and swim in the warm water while clown fish dart around you. You can land a big one (marlin, shark, tuna, bonito and barracuda) from a deep-sea vessel or zip through the jungle like monkeys on a zipline. About 45 minutes from the airport, Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita is flanked by 64 acres of tropical gardens. This former sugar plantation has a kids' club* and Kids' Golf Academy, under perpetually sunny skies.
• World-class snorkeling, diving, fishing and golf.
• Diverse and tolerant: The Republic of Mauritius is a happy melting pot of folks from India, Africa, France, England and China. While English is the official language, you'll hear French spoken widely, as well as the local Creole.
• The beaches. So gorgeous, it's almost a cliché.
• Warm but not too hot, temperatures year-round hover around 80 degrees F.
• The cuisine. Creole, Indian, Chinese, African? Yes, sample all that. And seafood, of course.
• The open-air village markets: in most towns, including Port Louis and Centre de Flacq. The heady aroma of local herbs, colorful spices and exotic fruit and vegetables, and the lively haggling locals.
• The island's famed rainbow sand dunes: naturally occurring swirls and stripes of vibrant reds, browns, greens, indigos, yellows and violets. The most spectacular is the Seven Coloured Earths in Chamarel, also home to the 400-foot-high Chameral Falls.
• Free kids' cooking classes: new (seasonal) teens-only dessert classes—classic macarons, decadent chocolate moelleux, Banana-Vanilla Tart (recipe below) plus pizza-making sessions at the kid-friendly kitchen at the kids' club Hobbit Village with its own pizza oven.
• Four Seasons' resident Giant Aladabra Tortoises: four of these big guys live behind the tennis courts; another two next to the golf course's 9th hole green. One grandpa is 100 in people years. It's just fine for kids to climb into their den and pet the tortoises' heads and shells—these are gentle creatures. (Bring a banana to share: their favorite snack.)
• Biking or wandering and playing a bazillion make-believe games on the jungley interconnected trails of the property's gardens.
• The Kids' Golf Academy for the five to 12 year old set. Lessons from one of the pros, tours of the oceanfront course. Kids get outfitted in golf attire, eat lunch in the clubhouse and test out the video swing analysis software.
• Ocean fun: deep-sea fishing, diving, windsurfing… you get the picture.
• The resort's complimentary Kids For all Seasons* kids' club. Drop the kids off at 9 and head out for a day of scuba or sailing with your man.
• Golf: unlimited, complimentary. Ocean vistas from the 18-hole course designed by Ernie Els; six lagoon-side holes.
• Mini Cooper tour: Zoom up and down Mauritius's varied terrain in a convertible Mini Cooper. Your custom itinerary is programmed into the on-board navigation system.
• History lesson: Eureka Mansion is a restored colonial manor in Moka, including mountain views and hidden waterfalls.
• Spa bliss: Take an hour—or three—for a restorative treatment, like the Jet Lag Refresher or the Sugar Body Purifying Polish, an exfoliation using local sugar.
Sugar cane fields. The undulating green fields, which border most roads, are an essential part of Mauritius' history.
Dine in—(For the family) The resort's Beau Champ serves an amazing Mauritian fish cake with Capsicum Rémoulade. Also recommended: grilled babonne with saffron and papaya chutney, lemongrass foam and roasted cherry tomato.
At Bambou restaurant, sample a traditional Mauritian dish called Bol Renversé, rice served with local shellfish, lobster and prawns in oyster sauce. Bambou also whips up a popular non-alcoholic Bambou Shooter, made with a combo of sugar cane syrup, passion fruit juice, passion fruit purée, lime and soda water.
(For kids) Kid-approved homemade pizzas and pastas at Acquapazza.
Dine out—
Head to Trou d'Eau Douce, a small fishing village about a 15-minute drive north along the coast, to Chez Tino. Authentic local fare (seafood—especially the seafood paella) on a charming outdoor terrace with beautiful views of Trou d'Eau Douce Bay. Kids will like the crispy calamari and fresh crab.
1. Swiss Family Robinson for a day: Claim your own beach. Take a complimentary boat shuttle to Ile aux Cerfs, a 15-minute ride across the lagoon. Pretend you are marooned. Bury each other in the sand. Play ball and tag on the shore (the beach is huge!) or cross over to the eastern side of the island for sweeping views of the Indian Ocean and a shoreline dotted with unusual shells and starfish.
2. Dance the Sega: Known for its chaotic movements, colorful garb and traditional instruments, a live Sega performance (weekly) at Four Seasons' Bambou is a must-see. Don't be surprised if your toddler spontaneously joins the show. This traditional island dance was originally introduced by African slaves as a form of self-expression.
3. Pilgrimage to Grand Bassin: Overseen by the giant statue of Lord Shiva, this lake is high in a secluded mountain area in the heart of Mauritius. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Shiva visited from India and carried water droplets from the holy River Ganges, which fell into lake, forging a sacred connection between the two sites. Every year, local Hindus make a pilgrimage on foot to the lake, walking three days to celebrate the festival of Maha Shivaratree.
4. Wild Kingdom: Scoot around on a Segway—it's a fun way to get around Casela Nature and Leisure Park, maybe even come face to face with a zebra, ostrich, kangaroo or exotic bird (1,500 species). The park is habitat to lions, tigers and monkeys. Quad biking and ziplining. La Vanille Reserve des Mascareignes has one of the world's largest insectariums: 23,000 different kinds, plus guided treks past some 2,000 crocodiles and 1,000 tortoises.
5. Sail the lagoon: On your family's own Hobie cat sailboat. Request a picnic lunch to-go from the resort.
*Babies: Splashing about in the relaxed and colorful kids' pool. Scooping up sand at the adjacent sandpit. Catching glimpses of bright birds. The beach. Stroller rides on the resort paths through the tropical gardens. (On-site babysitting available.) The resort has just about any baby paraphernalia and equipment you might need.
*Toddlers: Meeting and feeding deer, zebras and birds at the petting zoo at Casela Nature and Leisure Park. Building sandcastles and chasing birds on the beach. A ride in a bike seat behind mom or dad. Munching on Dodo cookies. A live Sega dance performance (details above).
*Kids 5-10: The wide-open spaces, beautiful trees and flowers at Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanic Garden at Pamplemousses. Learning all about the Giant Amazonian Water Lilies in a special children's video. Spotting (and catching) fish and crabs from a footbridge. Searching for items on a kids' club scavenger hunt or making locally inspired crafts, such as a bright wicker bag. Paddleboating and kayaking. All day at the beach. The Kids For All Seasons* club; daily programming. Golf lessons.
*Tweens & teens: Sailing. Snorkelling in the crystal-clear lagoon and the brightly colored sealife. Ziplining through the treetops in the forested valleys (with a guide) at Casela Nature and Leisure Park. Making new friends at their own resort club, Karokan. Golf lessons. Day trips to nearby villages. Dessert baking classes (seasonal) with the pastry chef Bruno Ayadee. "Baking is a great hands-on activity for teens," says the chef. "They can learn new skills while sampling the delicious results of their efforts!"
*Kids For All Seasons (KFAS) is a Four Seasons complimentary recreational and educational program for children of resort guests. Most KFAS clubs are designed for youth four to 12 years old, and open daily from 9 to 5. (Younger children can often join KFAS with a nanny or parent, or resorts can arrange for babysitting.) But details vary from property to property, so check the resort's website for more information.
Kids can go all day or just for an hour or two. Activities inside and out include games, sports, music, treasure hunts, swimming, arts and crafts, cultural education, environmental preservation work and yoga. Not your average camp, the VIP offerings are pretty extraordinary—for example, at Four Seasons Resort Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, following an educational talk by a diving instructor, kids get to make their own aquarium featuring the exotic creatures of the Red Sea, such as flying fish and parrot fish.
Says Chef Bruno: "Banana trees are found everywhere in Mauritius—even around the resort we have many. The fruit's natural tangy-sweet flavor pairs well with vanilla, making this a very popular dish. I like this recipe because it's easy to prepare, and with only a few pastry techniques, it will come out looking fantastic. It's the perfect after-feast dessert: light and refreshing."
Banana filling:
3 cups mashed banana
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 whole vanilla bean
½ cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter, plus butter to grease the tart tray
1 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 egg yolk, beaten
1. Cut the vanilla bean in half and mix it with the mashed banana and sugar. Pour this mixture into a pan and cook till caramelized. Remove from the heat and leave to cool. Once cool, remove the vanilla bean and discard.
2. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl, then add the egg and flour. Combine. Mix until you have a smooth dough. Cover with a dish cloth and let the dough rest for one hour.
3. On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about ½-inch thick. Using a circular cookie cutter (approximately 3 inches diameter) cut the round discs for the tart crust.
4. Grease a tart tray with a small amount of butter and add the pastry. Use a knife to cut away any excess dough around the edges.
5. Add the banana filling to each tart pastry.
6. Using the leftover dough, cut small strips and form into creative shapes such as leaves or hearts to decorate the top of the tart.
7. Lightly brush one beaten egg yolk over the top of the tart before placing in the oven.
8. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for approximately 25 minutes until crust is golden brown. Top with vanilla ice cream or fresh whipped cream. Serves 15.

BAGHDAD (AP) - A wave of car bombings in mainly Shiite areas of Baghdad killed 19 people on Tuesday, officials said, the latest in a surge in violence that has been the most serious challenge to the government's efforts to achieve stability across Iraq.
The attacks came as Iraqi Shiites were celebrating the birthday of Imam Ali, the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad and Shiite Islam's most sacred martyr.
Police officials said a car bomb went off in the Baghdad neighborhood of Sadr city, killing four people and wounding six in the morning hours. Another car bomb elsewhere in Sadr city went off near a cluster of homes, killing two people and wounding seven.
Associated Press Television footage from one of the Sadr city attacks showed a thick smoke rising from the blast area where several cars were von fire.
A short while later, a car bomb exploded in a commercial street in Baghdad's eastern district of Jamila, killing three people and wounding 10. Police said a fourth car bomb went off near a traffic police office in eastern Baghdad, killing three people, including a traffic policeman. Seven people were wounded in that attack.
A car bomb explosion at a square in downtown Baghdad killed two people and wounded eight, said police. Yet another car bomb went off in a commercial street in Baghdad's Shiite eastern district of Ur, killing five people and wounding 11.
Medical officials confirmed the casualty figures. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to media.
According to the United Nations, 8,868 people were killed in Iraq last year - the country's highest death toll since the peak of sectarian bloodletting in 2007 and 2008.

"I am very proud to present Diamond Jubilee Medals to these recipients. These Canadians are an inspiration to us all, and their contributions have made Canada a better place to live," said Minister Moore. "Our Government is proud to invest in commemorations like the Diamond Jubilee that contribute to our collective identity and define who we are as Canadians. On the road to 2017, when Canada will celebrate its 150 th anniversary, let us celebrate all of the things that make Canada the united, strong, and free country we are today."
The following citizens were presented the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal:David Aisenstat Ryan Beedie Harry Burgoyne Mary Anne Cooper Greg D'Avignon Ralph Drew Christopher William Dupuis Garry Elgear Gordon Gillard Chan Hon Goh James D. Gray Don Hedges, M.D. Jane Hungerford Connie Isherwood Hassan Khosrowshahi Nezat Khosrowshahi Ann Kitching Honorary Captain Lyall Knott Corporal Tim Laidler Chris Leveille Colin Ogilvie Yoo-soon ( Eunice) Oh Hazel Postma Carol Rush Michael Walker A total of 60,000 Diamond Jubilee Medals are being awarded to Canadians. Presentations took place throughout 2012 and will continue until February 28, 2013, the date when the program closes. To be eligible, a person must be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada. They must have made a significant contribution to a particular province, territory, region, or community within Canada, or an achievement abroad that brings credit to Canada.

We just moved to Southeast Nebraska this summer and a few hours ago found out we are expecting again. The local hospital doesn't provide maternity services, but I would much rather go to Omaha or Lincoln anyway. Our first son was born by scheduled c-section since he was a large baby (10 lbs 14 oz) so I know that I will be having a c-section this time. My struggle is that I want to find a hospital that has a similar "procedure" as what I had in Lee's Summit in terms of what they do with a planned c-section. When I went in for my c-section, I "checked in" to the room that we would be in for our entire stay, went to the OR, and then was taken back to the same room I was in earlier (i.e. I want to avoid a "typical" surgical pre-op and post-op rooms). I would love it if any mom's had suggestions or experiences like this.
I'm also looking for suggestions for an OB so that I can get our first appointment scheduled with a practice.
Hello! I am seeing a Doctor at Methodist's Women Hospital in Omaha and I have had a good experience so far. The hospital was recently built so the rooms look similar to hotel rooms. I see Dr. Somer-Sheily and I like her... I have heard good things about all the Doctors at the Women's Hospital so I would encourage you to check out their reviews online and see what you think.
If you're interested, here is a link to do a virtual tour
I gave birth at the new Bellevue Medical Center just south of Omaha. It's really nice. You are in the same room for your entire stay unless you go in for a regular delivery and then wind up having an emergency c-section. Then you get switched to post-cesarean friendly room after you return from the OR. Otherwise, if you go in for a scheduled c-section they will assign you to one of those rooms right away and you return to that same room after leaving the OR. Really the only difference in the rooms is a shower instead of a hot tub/shower combo to make it easier for you post delivery. They also have a private viewing room with comfy sofas and large screen TV that is hooked-up to a monitor on the weight and measurement cart in the OR that they will place the baby on after you have your time with him/her. That way any family and friends who aren't in the OR with you can see the baby after it's born without having to wait the extended period of time that usually follows a c-section.
I don't have any personal experience with Methodist Women's Hospital, but both Bellevue and Methodist Women's were built around the same time and both with a large emphasis on their maternity departments and family based maternity care. From what I've heard from friends that have delivered at Methodist Women's, their experiences there were really similar to mine at Bellevue Medical.

Picked this up as I wasn't getting quite enough moisture from Burt's Bees Cuticle Butter, and had read that it was a substitute (and less smelly than) Bag Balm (which it is not). I hated the smell, and it never really did anything for my cuticles despite the quantity applied.
Bought this after reading all the good reviews and for £5 I thought it was worth a shot. It comes in a small metal tin, like a Vaseline tin, and contains 21g of product which is a lot! It is the best cuticle balm I've ever used and it has left me great skin around my fingers. Its greasy but so moisturising, I'm not a massive fan of the fragrance but not really that bothered by it either. I just put a little on after I've washed my hands and it moisturises so well. I can see this lasting me a very long time and I will definitely repurchase.
Although I love Burt's Bees Cuticle Creme, I decided to try this because I like to try out different products and this came in a much bigger tin than the Burt's Bees. I think this creme is decent, at this point I like the Burt's Bees better but this does exactly the same thing. I'm an on/off nail biter, and I've always had a bad habit of picking the skin around my fingers. Because of this anxious habit, let's just say my fingers aren't always nice to look at and it makes me feel embarrassed and self conscious. I find the Badger creme is easier to apply and isn't as thick as the Burt's Bees creme. It visibly lessens redness and makes the skin very soft. Like I said, it comes in quite a large tin so I think this is going to last me a pretty long time.
LOVE IT! I use this periodically, It;s very greasy but It works like it's supposed to.
Very emollient, fragrance is strong but I like the smell and it dissipates fairly quick.
It will leave grease marks on things you touch so this is best right before bed. Little tinFits great in my purse for on the go treatment.

I bought this based on online reviews. The skin around my fingernails has been a bit wrinkly and dry looking for some time. Using this has made a difference to the overall look of my fingers. I was pleasantly surprised that it absorbed so quickly. The tin closes properly but is easy to open, and in colder temperatures swiping your fingers over the product will make it soft enough to use. It has a citrusy smell which does not linger too long. It looks like it will take some time to finish this product, which makes it good value.
This is a great, moisturizing cuticle balm! The scent kind of reminds me of lemon cough drops and actually smells quite nice. Some may not like it, but it doesn't bother me. It's very convenient and easy to open. All you have to do is twist it slightly and it opens! Now onto the moisturizing part of it.... it's so easy to apply and a little goes a longgggg way! Your cuticles will be instantly softened and can be pushed back easily. They keep your nails healthy and very nice. It absorbs very well, but it can get a teensy bit greasy. Also, all of the ingredients are natural and organic. You can really tell the difference between massaging this and some vaseline into your cuticles. I HIGHLY recommend!!!!!!
After reading about this product and all the great reviews, I'm actually surprised that I'm not all that struck on it. I would rather a twist off cap rather than the current packaging for starters. The product itself smells really good, however the texture is very thin and greasy. It seems like I apply this and because its so thin, it fades away very quickly and doesn't really moisturize or protect. I love my Burts Bees much better.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This was $5.99 at Wholefoods, so I decided to try it since my hands can get pretty rough from constant hand washing. It smells very nice to my nose and is filled with all sorts of good oils. I like that it has a shea butter base too. It does feel slightly oily going on my hands and feet, but is absorbed well into the skin. I can really feel a difference in the look and texture in my skin when I don't use it. Burt's bees lemon cuticle cream is another favorite of mine and smells a little better than this, but for overall performance, I prefer the Badger cuticle care. I adore the cute tin packaging and it fits well in my purse, though I would probably have to take it out during the summer months as a precaution.
More reviews by rocketbabydoll
This cuticle balm is great at what it does. It comes in a very cute little tin which is easy enough to open, but reasonably secure. The product itself is a solid, waxy balm with beads of shea sitting at the top, but the surface turns oily when you use it or in hot conditions.
It's certified organic and full of natural ingredients like shea butter, beeswax, geranium oil and mandarin oil, but the lemongrass oil is what dominates the scent. The smell actually reminds me of the Froot Loops cereal, it's quite sweet and lemony but not too overbearing.
My fingernails aren't too bad, I just apply it to the skin around the nail and on top of the nail itself, and it keeps them soft and moisturised and wards off any dryness that comes along.
It did works miracles on my toenails though. The skin around my toenails was dry and tough, so I applied some of this stuff to them and left it overnight and woke up to much softer skin and cuticles around the nails, and all the dryness was gone.
I've only been using it on bare nails so far while I let them grow and have yet to try it while wearing nail polish.
The one downside is that it's quite greasy and doesn't absorb into the skin very quickly at all. Perhaps I just use a bit too much, but for me it takes far too long to sink in properly.
I do prefer the smell and texture of the Burt's Bees Cuticle Creme over this, but I'm not willing to shell out the extra $13 for it just for those qualities -- here in New Zealand, Badger is $12 and Burt's Bees is $25.
Four lippies overall for being a good, moisturising cuticle balm/oil, one removed simply for being too greasy and slow-absorbing for my liking. Would still repurchase, though I suspect the tin may last me a while, as a little really does go a long way.

This is by far the best cuticle cream I have ever used. It is easy to apply and easy to carry around with you if you need to. Absolutely would buy this again and again.

This province leads the country in beer sales. I don't doubt it for a minute. Just look around you - we have the casualties to prove it. Obesity, heart disease and substance abuse are some of the other things in which we lead the country. And someone thinks i'ts a good reason to lower the price of beer.

This sounds like a good reason to lower our ridiculously high beer prices. They'll still make a ton of money. $23.75 for a dozen is crazy, at least make it an even $20.00. Cheaper beer will buy votes.

... if you can call Coor's Lite "beer." On the other hand, it's nice to see the NLC bringing in some good beers over the past few years.
