Topic Outline
Neuromuscular diseases frequently present in newborns or infants with hypotonia and weakness. However, these signs also occur in many common disorders such as sepsis, organ failure, and metabolic dysfunction. If these latter conditions can be excluded, hypotonia probably is caused by a primary neuromuscular disorder.
Assessment of the infant with hypotonia and weakness is reviewed here. The causes of hypotonia and weakness caused by peripheral nerve and muscle diseases (table 1) and the evaluation of specific neuromuscular disorders are discussed elsewhere. (See "Overview of peripheral nerve and muscle disorders causing hypotonia in the newborn".)
The obstetric and perinatal history may provide information that supports the diagnosis of a neuromuscular disorder. Affected infants frequently have a history of polyhydramnios (caused by decreased fetal swallowing), fetal akinesia (paucity of movement), and malpresentation (often in the breech position).
Delivery may be complicated by birth trauma or perinatal depression. Although these complications can occur in normal infants, infants with congenital neuromuscular disorders may be less able to tolerate the stress associated with labor and delivery and, thus, be more susceptible to birth depression.
A family history of neuromuscular abnormalities may be informative because many disorders are inherited. Examples of familial neuromuscular diseases are congenital myotonic dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, metabolic disorders (eg, mitochondrial disease, acid maltase deficiency, defects of creatine synthesis), and familial dysautonomia.

Human carbonic ahydrase II in complex with a benzenesulfonamide inhibitor
4-Substituted-ureido benzenesulfonamides showing inhibitory activity against carbonic anhydrase (CA, EC 22.214.171.124) II between 3.3-226 nM were crystallized in complex with the enzyme. Hydrophobic interactions between the scaffold of the inhibitors in different hydrophobic pockets of the enzyme were observed, explaining the diverse inhibitory range of these derivatives.
Selective hydrophobic pocket binding observed within the carbonic anhydrase II active site accommodate different 4-substituted-ureido-benzenesulfonamides and correlate to inhibitor potency., Pacchiano F, Aggarwal M, Avvaru BS, Robbins AH, Scozzafava A, McKenna R, Supuran CT, Chem Commun (Camb). 2010 Nov 28;46(44):8371-3. Epub 2010 Oct 5. PMID:20922253
From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
[CAH2_HUMAN] Defects in CA2 are the cause of osteopetrosis autosomal recessive type 3 (OPTB3) [MIM:259730]; also known as osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis, carbonic anhydrase II deficiency syndrome, Guibaud-Vainsel syndrome or marble brain disease. Osteopetrosis is a rare genetic disease characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. The disorder occurs in two forms: a severe autosomal recessive form occurring in utero, infancy, or childhood, and a benign autosomal dominant form occurring in adolescence or adulthood. Autosomal recessive osteopetrosis is usually associated with normal or elevated amount of non-functional osteoclasts. OPTB3 is associated with renal tubular acidosis, cerebral calcification (marble brain disease) and in some cases with mental retardation.[1][2][3][4][5]
[CAH2_HUMAN] Essential for bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation (By similarity). Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Can hydrate cyanamide to urea. Involved in the regulation of fluid secretion into the anterior chamber of the eye.[6][7]

text: Although I don't post here often I made it clear that I'll vote for anyone other than Obama. Now before anyone calls me a racist, his race has nothing to do with it. He is the most far left and idilogical driven President I have seen in my lifetime. I was hoping that he would move to the center as most Presidents, right or left, do after getting elected. Instead he moved further left than when he was when running for office. He's the worse President in my lifetime and the country cannot afford to have him for 4 more years. So I'm just wondering why anyone would vote to reelect him. If you like him personnaly, I can understand that. If I played golf or watched a football game with him I'm sure it would be fun. But I don't want him as the POTUS after January 2014. But what has he done as President and what do you think he will do as President that makes you want to vote for him in November.

Lying is the same as alcoholism. Liars prevaricate even on their deathbeds.Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
I do not mind lying, but I hate inaccuracy.Samuel Butler
No one is saying you cant be prejudiced or a bigot. We are all human and hold prejudices. If you state that you dont have prejudices, your lying! But, when you act on it and victimize innocent citizens and fellow innocen officers, than that is a concern.Christopher Jordan Dorner
Political Freedom without economic equality is a pretense, a fraud, a lie; and the workers want no lying.Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin
The second vice is lying; the first is running in debt.Benjamin Franklin
Truth consists not in never lying but in knowing when to lie and when not to do so.Samuel Butler
All that Mankind has done, thought, gained or been: it is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of Books.Thomas Carlyle
When both parties are lying and they both know the other party's lying, it comes powerful close to being the same thing as telling the truth.Orson Scott Card
When people say perhaps its cause theyre lying. Either they dont believe the thing theyre saying, or they do believe it only they dont want to admit they do.Orson Scott Card
Im neutral on lying, seeing as how theres times when the truth just hurts people.Orson Scott Card
I have always loved truth so passionately that I have often resorted to lying as a way of first introducing it into minds which were ignorant of its charms.Giacomo Casanova
Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, dont blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.Louis de Bernieres
How do you know when a police officer is lying??? When he begins his sentence with, based on my experience and training.Christopher Jordan Dorner
Man can certainly keep on lying (and he does so); but he cannot make truth falsehood. He can certainly rebel (he does so); but he can accomplish nothing which abolishes the choice of God. He can certainly flee from God (he does so) ; but he cannot escape Him. He can certainly hate God and be hateful to God (he does and is so) ; but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in His hate. He can certainly give himself to isolation (he does so he thinks, wills and behaves godlessly, and is godless) ; but even in his isolation he must demonstrate that which he wishes to controvert the impossibility of playing the "individual" over against God. He may let go of God, but God does not let go of him.Karl Barth
Revolutionaries do not make revolutions! The revolutionaries are those who know when power is lying in the street and when they can pick it up. Armed uprising by itself has never yet led to revolution.Hannah Arendt
Lying has a kind of respect and reverence with it. We pay a person the compliment of acknowledging his superiority whenever we lie to him.Samuel Butler
When in 1966 Charles de Gaulle ordered France out of NATO and American troops off French soil, Secretary of State Dean Rusk asked him if that included the American soldiers lying dead in the cemeteries at Normandy and throughout France.Charles Krauthammer
Lying rides upon debts back.Benjamin Franklin
I am many things. I can be quite mad, and young, but I`m not the kind of person who goes out to nightclubs and goes crazy. I am more like lying on my bed and listening to classical music to relax.Eva Green
As you can not arise except you are lying low, so there is no glory without sacrifice.Dr Joel Akande
The trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide.Hannah Arendt
There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.Albert Einstein

We are no longer taking online registrations for this workshop.
This training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapeutic method for healing trauma-based problems. Shedding new light on trauma survival—including sexual and physical abuse, accident and surgical trauma, and grief—EMDR is opening the doors of the heart to genuine spiritual transformation.
This training is limited to mental health professionals who are licensed to provide treatment, and mental health interns who are currently being supervised by an EMDR-trained supervisor. Through lecture, hands-on practice, and demonstrations, we learn:
Upon completion of this workshop participants will be better able to:
Limited enrollment; register early.
CE and CME are available and included in the tuition. $25 materials fee for manual, include when you register. This course has been approved by the EMDR International Association. In accordance with the new standards for basic EMDR training, participants must complete this course, receive 10 hours of consultation from recommended EMDRIA-approved consultants recommended by the instructor, and then take Laurel Parnell's Advanced Clinical Workshop & Refresher Course in order to complete the requirements for basic EMDR training. Participants are required to submit licensure documentation before attendance and must bring copies of their professional licenses or certification to the training. Interns must submit a letter from their supervisors stating that they will be supervised.
Please note that there are submission requirements for this course. Please send appropriate paperwork to:
Omega InstituteAttn: Registration Department150 Lake DriveRhinebeck, NY 12572or scan and email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Attendance is limited to mental health professionals who have a master's degree or higher in the mental health field and are licensed or certified through a state or national board, which authorizes independent practice. Applicants should send a copy of their license or certificate.
Intern/graduate student requirements: Completion of graduate level coursework at an accredited school and on a licensing track under state sanctioned supervision by a licensed clinician is necessary. Clinical supervisor must be EMDR trained. Please submit a detailed curriculum vitae/resume and a current supervisor's letter with his/her degree and license number.
Canadian registration requirements: A minimum of master's degree in clinical or counseling psychology or social work is required. Applicants should also hold membership in a professional association that has a written code of ethics or standards of conduct and hold professional liability insurance.
Be advised that anyone not submitting the appropriate paperwork will not be allowed entrance into the class.
The reason you can only take this class if you are a licensed professional is because it is a requirement of the EMDR International Association that approves EMDR training. EMDR is a very profound and complex therapy that builds on the skills and experience of psychotherapists.
Upon completion of this course you will have all the tools necessary for full utilization of EMDR with your clients. You will now need to receive 10 hours of consultation from Dr. Parnell's faculty consultants and then complete Part 3 in order to complete basic EMDR training.
There is required reading for this course:

The above schedule is subject to change at the discretion of the faculty.
Laurel Parnell, PhD, is an internationally recognized clinical psychologist, consultant, EMDR trainer, and author of five books, including A Therapist's Guide to EMDR, upon which this training is based, and Attachment-Focused EMDR: Healing Relational Trauma. Since 1991, Parnell has immersed herself in the practice and development of EMDR and has trained thousands of clinicians in the United States and abroad. A meditation practitioner for more than 30 years, she brings a transpersonal perspective to EMDR. She maintains a private practice in San Rafael, California. emdrinfo.com

Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Willow - Arriving April 7th!
Facts about Willow - Arriving April 7th
- Breed: Domestic Longhair
- Color: Tiger Striped
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Long
Willow - Arriving April 7th's Info...
I am already spayed and up to date with shots.
Willow is gorgeous and loves people. She has beautiful long tri-color tabby markings. She's fully vetted and ready to go to a loving home. For more information or to adopt, please contact Danni at firstname.lastname@example.com or 973-615-0289.
Other Pets at * Purrfect Pals, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Willow - Arriving April 7th, a East Hanover Domestic Longhair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Longhair for sale in East Hanover, or seeking a Domestic Longhair cat from a breeder in East Hanover.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in East Hanover already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a East Hanover breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Longhair breeders who help with Domestic Longhair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in East Hanover paves the way for another one to be saved.

Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for District ChopHouse and Brewery, which says:
"I visited this brewpub on 10/26/06 and had the following brews; Light Lager, Amber Ale, Octoberfest, Oatmeal Stout and Burbon Stout. Unfortunately we had just eaten at Gordon Biersch around the corner and could only sample the cornbread which was outstanding. We also had a piece of chocolate cake that was a big as my head. The cake seemed to be a little dry. The burbon stout was served at cellar temperatures and I would have prefered it chilled. The oatmeal stout went very well with the cake. I am also a hophead and I did miss having an IPA on the selection. My waiter was not very attentive and was uninterested in the fact that this brewpub was the 200th brewpub that I have visited. I was also disappointed that they did not have any souvenir glass ware so that I could always remember my 200th brewery. I would return again if I had the chance."

Ex-Lobomon and Ex-Agunimon
If you want Ex-Lobomon and Ex-Agunimon, you must finish the game with every one of the six players (which includes Loweemon), any number of spirits (blue balls), and any difficulty setting. Now finish the game with Agunimon and Lobomon (recommended) and get 800 or more spirits (3 minute games) After you complete the game with Agunimon and get 800 spirits, an egg will appear with Ex-Agunimon in it. Ex-Agunimon is another shade of red (and can be black), and his new attack is Down + B (repeatedly) is Pyro-Darts. He can also slide EVO to Emperor Greymon (very strong). After you complete the game with Lobomon or Loweemon and get 800 spirits, an egg will appear with Ex-Lobomon. He is light blue and can be green. His new attack (Up + B) is Jumping Kick and Sword Slash. This attack is tricky and you need to know when to hit it. A good time is in the air. If you do it to close to your opponent, you will jump over him. He can also transform into Magna Garurumon. Both of their Ancient EVO is the same. It is the Digimon that destroyed Lucemon in the show. He shoots a beam of blue and red which hurts his enemies very badly.
Defeat Kerpymon
Beat kerpymon use agunimons fire tornado when he)s usinghis ball attack in both forms.
Loweemon is Koegy (dark spirit). To get Loweemon, you must complete single player mode with Lobomon (light spirit) with any amount of D-power. After the congratulations screen, you will see a message about getting a new Digimon. REMEMBER: Loweemon can also super attack.
Loweemon will appear from a yellow Digi-Egg
Finish game in normal mode with any character. After the ending credits, Loweemon will appear from a yellow Digi-Egg.
Flying Burninggraymon
When you are Agunimon (fire spirit) and are able to slide evolution to Burninggraymon, jump and push Up + B. Burninggraymon will fly across the screen. REMEMBER: If Burninggraymon hits your enemy, it will make a lot of D-Spirit balls fall out, and occasionally some ancient spirits
Hyper Digivolution special move
Keep attacking your opponent constantly until yellow diamonds come out of it. Collect all those diamonds, until you see you have five diamonds in the top bar. When you have maximum digivolution Power, press A + B + Up and your Digimon will do a super special move. Many diamonds will fall out of the opponent after the attack.

I am still getting used to the new dryer but am really missing a feature on my old dryer called Sensor dry. This new dryer is supposed to have three sensors yet when the cycle ends the clothes are still slightly damp so they sit in the bottom of the dryer and get wrinkled. Maybe I am operating it wrong? There doesn't seem to be an adjustment to the pre-sets to add minutes or make the dryer warmer to avoid this. You can use the time dry and then the time and controls are adjustable of course but then you end up running the dryer longer than you might need, thus wasting energy and overdrying is not good for your clothes.

I really enjoy the light in the drum and think this is a quality machine. Unfortunately, I don't think I know how to use it correctly. Clothes often come out with damp areas even though the dryer supposedly has a moisture sensor that senses when the clothes are dry. Also, although it has a refreshing cycle that can either be steam or dry, clothes come out much more wrinkled than the 15 year old dryer it replaced. The controls provide lots of options, but they don't remember the ones used most frequently so I have to set my preferences each time.

Great Dryer
By Katie999
from Michgan
I bought this dryer without seeing it in person, which always makes me a little nervous, but I've been thrilled with my purchase. The dryer has a large capacity, a variety of settings, and is very efficient. I'd recommend this dryer to anyone.
Nice Dryer.
By Donna2014
from Horseheads, NY, United States
I bought this dryer about 1 year ago, the dryer works well, there are time when I check the clothes about 20 minutes before they are supposed to be dry. The clothes are dry, so it runs longer than needed. When drying sheets items, they roll up, with other items mixed in it, so they don't dry well. For the most part I like the dryer.
Excellent Petformance
By My dryer
from Encinitas, CA, United States
I have owned the dryer 3 months now and I only like it more. I have its matching washer too. The dryer is so quiet and efficient. I am always happy to hear it's pretty song. The inside light is a brilliant innovation. The clothes are always dry, never needing a redo so the sensors work great. I just used the steam feature for my new napkins which I discovered are not permanent press. This crumpled mass of linen and cotton came out smooth and foldable. I was going to scream if I had to start ironing my daily use napkins but the dryer saved my voice. I love this dryer.

We've had the dryer for several months and are extremely happy with it. The STEAM setting is excellent for the kids items -- NO IRONING REQUIRED! There is a lot of room in the dryer - bigger loads means fewer loads:) We would definitely recommend and buy again.
Great Features

Bought a new house and updated to this dryer. I am so happy that I did. It holds a ton of clothes, and dries very fast. It has many features that cut drying time in half for me and also has a steam feature that refreshes clothes.
Works well, my wife loves it

He never concretely said it was the rarest or most endangered parrot in the world; if you read the article carefully he does say that it is the rarest in South Africa and POSSIBLY the world. Not sure how that is pushing an agenda...I think you're looking for infowars.com

Published June 14, 2013
The green and gold Cape parrot (Poicephalus robustus) is one of the most endangered parrots in the world.
The only parrot endemic to South Africa, fewer than a thousand individuals survive in the last patches of its dwindling habitat of yellowwood forest.
As the Cape parrot's yellowwood fruit resource disappears, the bird has changed its diet—for example, turning to pecan trees—but it's not always able to find sufficiently wholesome food. Malnutrition makes it more susceptible to a deadly virus that in some years has infected as much as 100 percent of the birds. (Related post: "Africa's Most Endangered Parrot Revealed Like Never Before.")
National Geographic Emerging Explorer Steve Boyes is trying to pull the Cape parrot back from the brink of oblivion.
Boyes has a plan to restore the endemic yellowwood forests that once flourished across a wide swath of the southern tip of Africa, giving the parrots and other species that depend on the trees a chance to rebound. The plan involves many local communities that also stand to benefit from the return of the forests. It's a strategy in which villagers, parrots, and yellowwood trees share a healthy ecosystem for the benefit of all.
Boyes is in Washington, D.C., this week for the annual National Geographic Explorers Symposium, where he talked to us about his work, which is funded in part by the National Geographic Conservation Trust.
Is South Africa's Cape parrot the world's most endangered parrot? Is there any good news to report following all the work you have done to save it?
A. Between 800 and 1,000 individuals survive in the wild. It's definitely one of the most endangered parrots, if not the most endangered parrot in the world. (Related video: "Rescuing the Endangered Cape Parrot.")
The good news this year is that the rate of psittacine beak and feather disease infection that plagued the parrot in recent years appears to be coming down.
In 2011 the entire Cape parrot population we caught and tested was infected with the disease, following a dire food shortage for the birds after a prolonged drought and severe hailstorms that knocked the flowers off our pecan trees in Alice (map). Pecans are a very important nutrition resource for the birds four months of the year. As a result of losing that food resource and no other food being available to them, they lost condition and the virus became overwhelming.
What's so special about saving this particular bird? Is it because it is a beautiful and rare parrot?
The Cape parrot serves very nicely as an ambassador for threatened ecosystems. The [indigenous] Xhosa people know it as iziKhwenene. If you shout iziKhwenene in a village, people respond automatically. People know that this parrot is associated with their enterprise projects and the restoration of their forests. (Related post: "Establishing Local Communities as Forest Custodians to Save the Cape Parrot.")
They want those forests back, especially as they watched them being torn apart during the years of apartheid by companies exploiting them and not sharing the proceeds with the local communities. The older people have stories and traditions about their forests.
The Cape parrot is the only parrot endemic to South Africa. It is the most beautiful parrot in South Africa. It's green and gold, the colors of South Africa's national athletic teams. We need a national sports team to adopt the Cape parrot as its mascot, like rugby has the springbok. It's as simple as that in conservation; if people care about it, good things will start happening.
Cape parrots have survived the destruction of their ecosystem even while many other species of the ancient yellowwood forests have disappeared. An ancient bird that has survived all that's happened must be very special. Of course we must try to save it. (Watch a video of Cape parrots in the wild.)
Is the parrot pet trade a concern?
It's a problem. The more we showcase the parrot and make people aware of its situation, the more people want them as pets. The price for healthy breeding parrots has soared. We've seen birds go from $300 each in 2003 to as much as $12,000 for a pair today. Collectors want the rarest, most endangered parrot in Africa, if not the world. It's a beautiful bird too. (See more bird pictures.)
Back in the day, before the European settlers started ripping out the yellowwood forests that sustained these birds, how many Cape parrots might there have been in South Africa?
We have no idea. But in 1972, according to a letter from pecan farmers, flocks of 1,200 parrots were observed visiting orchards and tearing them to pieces. The farmers wrote about shooting them, catching them in nets, killing them. They pleaded to the government to come and witness what the parrots were doing to their commercial farming operation. That alone illustrates how many birds there used to be. Today there are fewer Cape parrots in total than were in that one flock reported in 1972.
I would estimate that the forests in South Africa's Amathole mountain range could sustainably host as many as 8,000 to 10,000 Cape parrots. Instead, today there are flocks of between 10 and 30 individuals in small isolated patches of forest. These fragmented flocks come together at feeding sites like the Cape Parrot Sanctuary at the University of Fort Hare, where we keep pecan trees for them to feed on for four or five months of the year.
How did your grant from the National Geographic Conservation Trust boost your Cape parrot project?
That grant was extremely important because it was granted urgently to focus on the linkage of the psittacine beak and feather disease virus with the wild population of Cape parrots. It resulted in the discovery of a 50 percent infection rate in the first year and a 100 percent infection rate in the second year of that study. In that research we sequenced the genome of the virus, and now we understand that it is an endemic disease; it's been in the Cape parrots for at least 18,000 years. (Learn more about National Geographic explorers.)
The disease did not come from macaws or budgerigars in captivity, or some other source. The virus dates back to a time when the yellowwood forests were connected together, before climate change fragmented them. It normally infects only a small percentage of the birds, but in times of starvation—because of loss of their food resources—the virus has infected a great many of them.
How have you involved local communities in your project?
The communities are planting all of the trees for us. They find the seeds and grow them. We've decentralized completely, creating micro-nurseries in many villages. Typically it's the grandparents and young children who are involved. We pay for each tree they grow and transplant for us in the forests.
We pay between $2 and $5 per tree, depending on how much care they put into growing the trees. If a grower does well for us, as most of them do, we will double up the number of trees we ask from them in a season, so that in time they can build a decent source of income.
We also fence off one or two hectares of land between the forest and the village, where we plant fruiting wild olives, plums, and other indigenous trees. We hire two people and task the whole community to protect these plantations from fire and cattle, which also discourages the movement of both cattle and fire toward the main forests.
For the planting of the young trees in the forests, we recruit teams of five planters—no more than one planter per household, so we spread the benefits across the entire community. Depending on how well the community protects the fruiting trees, they get compensated in the form of community benefits such as fencing of pastures, painting schools, and so on.
We have tried to involve as many people as possible in the custody of the Amathole forests, and our efforts have produced results. Today you can see community-planted forests almost the size of state forests. (See more South Africa pictures.)
Are the forests still harvested for yellowwood?
Yes. There is no political support to start a zero quota for harvesting yellowwoods. But I wrote an open letter to President Jacob Zuma on National Geographic News Watch, and as a result he asked the appropriate cabinet minister to establish a forum in the Eastern Cape. It met three weeks ago and on the agenda was establishing a yellowwood harvesting quota, yellowwood protected areas, and a national heritage tree list.
The heritage tree list will identify and mark the most precious specimens in the forests so that they cannot be harvested. I hope there will be eventually be as many as 30,000 trees identified as important and strategic, never to be touched.
We're also working on setting aside as much as 10 percent of the forests as reserves, which would be a haven for trees, birds, and other animals such as bushbuck and bushpig.
What help do you need to realize your dream for the Cape parrot?
We need support, financial and otherwise, to reestablish the forests. We are the only NGO doing this. The government is not doing this. We're alone and we need help to make it happen.
We can bring these forests back, and with them the parrots and other animals that depend on the trees. My dream is to see flocks of a thousand parrots or more flying over reestablished forests. I think our communities can plant a million trees, and this can all come true.
He never concretely said it was the rarest or most endangered parrot in the world; if you read the article carefully he does say that it is the rarest in South Africa and POSSIBLY the world. Not sure how that is pushing an agenda...I think you're looking for infowars.com
Its really great that the communities living among them are involved. No sense in not including them in the protection- I just hope none are turning around and poaching the birds.
Thanks for sharing the foto of the parrot.
really ! it's great to watch the rarest bird , lovly parrot
It is pleasure to know the great efforts being to save the parrot hearty wish could part of the team well done
poor parrot,
in south africa gold miners are destroying our environment by polluting the environment with toxins such as mercury, which get in to all of the animals drinking water
a scientist in mexico has found a way to end this for good
Steve, You are doing a GREAT job, we've to protect this beautiful parrot!
Steve you are doing a GREAT job, this beautiful parrot should not be endangered, we've to protect it.
The dire truth is very simple, through habitat reduction it's primarily the base or smaller species that spiral into decline at alarming rates globally. Deliberating the validity of one species decline to another's is counter productive and irrelevant. The time for discussions is over, action needs to be taken expeditiously for the stabilisation of the global system to even have a chance at recovery. I am South African, and I have only seen this parrot in captivity and as a museum exhibit. I was left the task of explaining to my daughters that the stuffed animals were once alive and those that still are may soon not be at all. I look at the plight of the Rhino here and see the plight of the Cape Parrot, Spix Macaw, Kakapo or even the critical losses of amphibians across the globe as equally critical. I really feel that it's not the responsibility of conservation alone, but of zoo's, sanctuaries, media and educators as well as parents alike to take action now. I would like to thank NatGeo and Steve Boyes and all the dedicated people concerned for all their work. I only hope that there are similar or better campaigns to raise awareness and conserve the other critical species mentioned in these comments within the native countries that they inhabit.
It's very helpful
I think that it should be mentioned that no aviculturalist in his right mind would bring PBFD in to their avaries for any price so maybe these prices are for captive raised birds that have not been exposed to PBFD. I think the first thing they should consatrate on is reinstalling the habitat so their is a food soucre and nesting sites for the birds. That is the major problem with the Large Macaws like Hyacinth, Lear's, Spix's and Blue Throated which require certin Palm trees on which to live in and nest in, in South America because of cheap beef for McDonalds and other establishments.
If they are smart they will do captive breeding than produce babies with out psittacine beak and feather disease than replant the habitat and than reintroduce the captive population of Cape Parrots from captive birds. Than maybe they would have suffesent food for the population.
Thanks for the comments, though their deliveries are unfortunate. We've tweaked the headline to say South Africa's rarest.
The kakapo is the most endangered parrot in the world. Less than 200 individuals in existence.
World's rarest parrot? I think not. Kakapo (Flightless Parrot) has 124 individuals left - nearly double the number back in 1992.
Though of course that doesn't detract in any way how worthwhile the project is, just perhaps an overstatement of an enthusiastic project worker (Steve Boyes), and poor editing skills by National Geographic who draw attention to the statement by using it in the title.
Whoever wrote this article either has an agenda or doesn't have a clue about what are the real facts. This is far from the rarest parrot in the wild or captivity. This upsets me because I am tired of people that sit in an office somewhere trying to control everyone else. Our world is becoming full of so many rules, laws and regulations that you can't seem to wake up in the morning without breaking one of them.
I read articles with lies like this one has and think of how those few ignorant ones sitting in their office with no real world experience are trying to cram crap down the rest of the world's ears so they can gain sympathy for the control that they wish to impose on the lives of all the rest of the world.
The rarest Parrot in the world is probably the Spix Macaw. Last known count there is 1 in the wild and 79 in captivity. If it were not for those that love these birds there would be none in captivity and 0 in the wild. 15 Years ago there were fewer than 15 in captivity. It is through the knowledge, hard work, dedication, and genetics of those birds that are kept by bird lovers that are why there are any of this species at all as well as others.
Do gooders writing baseless articles and worse do gooders influencing politicions to create oppressive laws are trying to make it impossible for those that love these birds to continue to care for them in captivity. Loose those good people and you have nothing. Where do you think the zoos get them from? Where do you think the zoos gained their knowledge of how to care for them from? Where do you think zoos gained the knowledge of how to breed each species from? How do you think their gene pool can stay vast enough to not cause them to go extinct? By all the private owners in the world that breed and care for all the different lovely species of parrots.
The Spix Macaw is alive today because of private individuals that love these birds and sacrifice to breed them. The Lears Macaw is almost extinct in the wild. Less than 30 in the wild. Less than 100 in captivity. The Hyacinth Macaw has fewer than 1,000 in the wild and fewer than 2,500 in captivity around the planet. These birds are and have been losing their natural habitat. There are those that love them and are trying to help them by buying up ranches and farms and planting the trees specific to their needs. But just as important maybe more is all the captive breeding that is going on around the world.
There are other parrots more rare than the one in this article as well. But I think my point has been made. Why sensationalize and lie? Try telling the truth!
A beautiful bird like this shouldn't disappear.
What a great article!
bust it's not always able to find sufficiently wholesome food
should be 'but', not 'bust'
@Joe Ask The NSA for my last name!Whoa, calm down. The way that sentence was phrased does not mean that this is definitely the rarest bird in the world, simply that people will pay for the rarest birds. From your comments, it's hard to tell where you stand on this issue. Do you care about parrots? Do you care about the environment at all? Do you realize that without a healthy environment, the human race is doomed? Probably not. You seem to be only concerned with big business and laws stopping you from raping the Earth bare. Stop using "do gooder" as an insult, and try doing some good in the world yourself.

AQUAE CUTILIAE, a mineral spring in Italy, near the modern Cittaducale, 9 m. E. of Rieti. The lake near it was supposed by classical writers to be the central point of Italy, and was renowned for its floating islands, which, as in other cases, were formed from the partial petrification of plants by the mineral substances contained in the water. Considerable remains of baths may still be seen there they were apparently resorted to by both Vespasian and Titus in their last illnesses, for both died there.

Ease of Use
I was a Focalin xr user, but after switching to ppo it became too expensive and I switched to Ritalin. (Focalin is an isotope of Ritalin) At first I didn't like Ritalin. It seemed too hard, and I would crash after the medicine left my body. Long story short, I cut the dosage and the side effects vanished. It does what it is supposed to do. It allows me to think clearly and focus without makin ... Show Full Comment

Constantinoupolis is a city where ''one can satisfy all one's whims,'' wrote the Italian traveler Edmondo de Amicis in 1878. ''One can light one's cigar in Europe and shake off the ashes in Asia.'' Located on the European shore of the Bosporus, Arnavutköy still exudes all the charm and diversity of the former Constantinople. Here, the bells of the Orthodox church compete with the call to prayer coming from the mosque.

2005 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 9 reviews
The main changes for the Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 in 2005 revolve around a stronger engine and available power sunroof and Sirius Radio in the Quad Cabs. Ram fans can choose from a 5.7 L V8 or a 5.9 L I6 powertrain. 18 trims ensure that you'll find the right configuration to fit your needs.
The '05 Dodge Ram 3500 comes in 2 door, 3 seat and 4 door, 6 seat configurations. As the strongest of the Rams, max towing capacity approaches an impressive 16000 lbs. on all trims. Finally, drivers will have their pick of available 4 and 5 speed automatic transmission or 6 speed manual.
Overall, the 2005 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 gets props for its power, towing capacity, good safety features, and relatively cushy interior. On the other hand, the critics feel that this powerful pickup could use a couple more seating configurations to match up better with the competition. Despite the relative lack of variety, the '05 Dodge Ram 3500 does its job as a rugged domestic pickup and does it well.

Combating Opioid Abuse With Science
So far, the creative approaches industry has taken to develop tamper-resistant and abuse-deterrent opioid drugs have been largely matched by the ingenuity of those users who manage to tamper with and abuse those same formulations.

Fighting cancer on the stage
I first met Sandy Montgomery in a crowded aerobics class. Her wide smile and the positive spirit and optimism she exuded had me believe that life for Sandy was sublime.
At age 39, life for Sandy was nearly perfect. She had a promising career, two young daughters and a supportive husband. Her world would soon be turned upside down. Almost 15 years ago, Sandy was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. It's a cancer that starts in cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the body's immune system.
Sandy's oncologist gave her a grave diagnosis: five to seven years left until she would succumb to this incurable disease. Instead of accepting this news, her husband Steve decided to research alternative medical treatments. Ironically, I happened to be on the same flight when they first traveled to San Francisco to Sanford University to participate in an experimental drug treatment trial.
After two years and countless trips to California, Sandy's cancer went into remission. Six years later, the FDA approved this particular drug treatment, and it is currently being used to treat cancer patients.
As a diversion for her two daughters, Whitten and Jaclyn, Sandy enrolled them in theater classes during the harsh months she suffered through the experiment trial. The girls watched as their mother found the energy and compassion to get involved directly with the fundraising efforts for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society. This would spark their interest in their mother's passion. How could they raise money too?
Using their theatrical skills, they decided to charge a small fee to their first production, which took place in the basement of the family's home. Fifteen years later, KAAC (Kids Acting Against Cancer) has been instrumental in the fight to cure cancer.
KAAC puts on a production each year to raise money to fight cancer. This nonprofit organization, which still includes the driving forces of Whitten and Jaclyn Montgomery, along with Taylor Buchanan and Remy Sisk, recently has begun collaborating with local expert drama instructor Sharon Kinnison of Louisville Collegiate School. Sharon's many talents have brought KAAC's performances to new heights.
This year's production of "High School Musical" will be held Saturday, Jan. 15, at 8 p.m. at the Clifton Center, 2117 Payne St. Call (502) 899-5946 for tickets, which are $15 for children and $20 for adults.
I was able to sit down and ask these remarkable young adults some questions.
How has your mother's illness changed you and your family?
Jaclyn Montgomery: My family is definitely very close because of the illness. It helped us understand the importance of family and that a positive attitude is the best defense mechanism for a very serious situation.
What advice could you give someone whose parent has been diagnosed with cancer?
Jaclyn: I would tell them to keep a positive attitude because miracles really do happen every day, and no situation is hopeless. They would also be amazed at the way that the support of friends and family really helps the situation and makes you feel like you are not alone. I would also tell them to remember that their parents love them and want them to be happy even though cancer is a severe situation.
How would you describe your mother?
Whitten Montgomery: My mother is warm, tireless, fearless and loving. However, the word that can define my mother through and through is "optimistic." Ever since I can remember, my mother has illustrated that anything is possible when you think positively. Her energy has never ceased to amaze me and her love to help others. Above all, her optimism has inspired me.
Any proud moments?
Whitten: I never liked to measure our organization in dollar signs, although many people tend to understand it that way. What I like to use are the smiles that we create on the faces of the children who deserve them the most. One of my proudest moments with KAAC would have to be the first distribution of that KAAC Packs. Creating the productions is definitely an exhilarating experience, but experiencing the joy of helping the children in the hospital melts my heart. I remember seeing the patients, hugging them, watching them open the packs, and seeing their eyes get bigger as they learned about KAAC. Then I knew that this could never end.
Do you have advice for a child with a mother with cancer?
Whitten: Do something. Sitting and waiting becomes painful. You did nothing wrong, and your mother wants you to be having fun. I know, though, that it can be difficult to want to have fun when your mother cannot manage to come out with you. Because of this, I recommend that you do something for her. Make her a meal. Draw her a picture. Get your friends together and sing her a song. One thing that you can never think is that your mother doesn't want to be with you or that you did anything to cause this.
How did you help your friend cope with her mother's illness?
Taylor Buchanan: Soon after getting involved with KAAC, Whitten and I realized how much we had in common and became instant best friends. After getting to know Whitten, I learned that her mom, Sandy, had cancer, however, was in remission and was able to bring her to my house to play and go places with me.
Things changed towards the end of fifth grade. Sandy had a relapse and she was in the hospital constantly. Because Whitten and I were so young, we didn't really know what was going on. Whitten spent most of her time at my house and my mom would take us places, but because we were best friends, this didn't seem uncommon.
Through everything, Whitten has always been so optimistic. We are like sisters. I don't know what I would do if I had not been asked to join Kids Acting Against Cancer.
Any proud moments with KAAC?
Remy Sisk: Nothing quite compares to meeting the people we're working for. When someone with cancer comes up to talk to me at a KAAC event and thank me for what we're doing, I just feel so assured that this is what I'm supposed to be doing.

Days that we never forget. We never forget days where we make a mistake and it cost us a friendship. We never forget mistakes that cost us a position in ministry. We never forget those times where you say the wrong words and didn't realize how much you caused the other person. Its days like these that we will always remember for they create who we are. When you make a mistake you realize what you need to correct it. You realize how foolish it was and where you went wrong. The word of God says that a righteous and wise man falls and gets back up and learns from his mistakes and never visits them again, but the foolish stay down and roll around in their folly. When these mistakes are made we must let God examine ourselves. Most of all we need to be honest with ourselves as to why a mistake was made. I know for myself its very hard for me to be honest with myself. But in the process as God reveals what brought us to fall, our honestly will assist in the healing of our bleeding heart. You may be asking, 'What did I do?' Well its actually what I didn't do that caused a mistake. Have you ever noticed that it takes two seconds to make a decision and months to tear that decision apart whether it was a wise decision or one of folly? Yeah I thought so. Everyone of us has been there. Everyone of us has at one point gotten mad at a friend and said something that hurt and then we live with that memory for life. My mistake came along when I took some pictures that were deemed inappropriate by some. Heck I thought the subject I was taking a picture of what outrightly inappropriate. Thats was the whole motivation behind me taking the photograph. I was going to show his mother his folly. To which I did. [Some of you are wondering right now what could have been so bad, I will not discuss that here. You can use your imagination, and if you really want to know. Post and I will email you if I trust you with the information.] I showed the mother the 2 photos and she laughed about it and joked to her son about them. To which after that and that evening I hadn't even thought about the photos and right before bed I deleted them. BY THE WAY. This was all at a Summer Camp. I didn't think I needed to declare I had deleted them. But anyways, I should have made a wiser decision about the photos, because that small decision cost me my position as a teacher and servant to these kids. I encourage everyone who is reading this to do one thing before making any decision. Even if that decision is purely eating. Just get in the habit of doing it, it may save you hardship in life. Do it to save yourself from getting into a bad relationship. Ask yourself, IS IT WISE? If the answer is NO then back down on whatever it is. I should have asked that. I should have, but it never entered my mind. Not once, I just thought everyone was gooffing off and I was totally offguard because Satan took something harmless and is trying to turn it into something to destroy me. Be careful friends.
The word of God says that a righteous and wise man falls and gets back up and learns from his mistakes and never visits them again, but the foolish stay down and roll around in their folly.

Rogue Event 10 – Ship Carrying Slaves
Inspired by this Random Event from the award-winning rogue-like computer game FTL, Ship Carrying Slaves starts your Star Wars – Edge of the Empire Crew with a cut and dry skirmish by an intergalactic ruffian and ends with an interesting possible twist.
You enter a new star system and long range sensors detect a single vessel of Silhouette 4 at the far end of the system.
Do you move in to investigate?
There is little subterfuge or nuance to be had here. The starship is a Firespray System Patrol Craft with added concussion missile launchers, piloted by a Rodian Slaver using the stat block for a Journeyman Bounty Hunter. The Rodian is a ruthless killer and does not care to talk or negotiate with her prey. Her goal is to destroy the Crew's starship, tractor any salvageable material to a scrap heap, and capture any survivors to sell into slavery.
The encounter begins immediately with both starships at Extreme Range to each other. Basic scans show the Crew that the Firespray is coming at them as fast as it can at Speed 4. When the ships have closed to Short Range, the Rodian slaver gains a target lock and attacks with her concussion missiles. Thereafter, she pursues the Crew's starship attacking at Close Range with her vessel's autoblasters.
If within sensor range, the Firespray can be scanned to reveal its owner as well as 3 additional Rodians and 1 Human locked in the prisoner cells.
"You are a cunning warrior and have defeated me in this great hunt. For that you have earned my respect. I offer you my captured bounties in supplication, as well as my scanned starcharts of this sector."

ADVANCE PLANNING CONSIDERATIONSThinking about the inevitability of one's death is subject that few like to consider. For many, actually moving ahead with the pre-planning or pre-paying for their funeral is even more difficult to act on.
When one begins to understand the financial and emotional pressure that a funeral can thrust on our loved ones, it becomes clear that planning in advance is a considerate and responsible thing to do.
Similar to the protection that life insurance provides for loved ones; planning a funeral in advance can protect loved ones from much more than just financial concerns. You have always been there to protect them throughout your life, why not after your death?
With the large number of options and considerations available to individuals today, it is important to speak with someone you can trust.
We can guide you through the many options and considerations to help you determine the arrangements that best suite your needs. We will help you find a balance between the emotional, spiritual and financial needs of your surviving loved ones after you have gone.
The State of Texas has developed a website to help you make informed decisions concerning the purchase of prepaid funeral benefits at www.prepaidfunerals.texas.gov.
