Hi! My name is Sammy. I am 6 months old(born on 8-18-12) & am a total love bug! There were 5 of us in our litter, but me & my brother ozzy are the only 2 left. I don't know why no one has adopted us but we both want a family of our own. We are really fun little boys that love to give kisses & play with toys. We both thought this snow was great & had fun playing in it. I am crate trained & working on potty training. I'm getting good at walking on a leash too. If you think I would be the perfect addition to your family, please come meet me. Sammy is up to date on all shots, heart worm negative, microchiped, and neutered.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Sammy, a Bridgeton Chihuahua/Dachshund puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua/Dachshund for sale in Bridgeton, or seeking a Chihuahua/Dachshund puppy from a breeder in Bridgeton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Bridgeton 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 Bridgeton 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 Chihuahua/Dachshund breeders who help with Chihuahua/Dachshund rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Bridgeton paves the way for another one to be saved.

It Can't Happen Here
February 4th, 2013 - 4:53 pm
James Lileks reviews a 1939 movie starring Edward G. Robinson as a no-nonsense all-American G-Man sweating out his share of…Confessions of a Nazi Spy. Lileks captions a frame capture from one scene of the film thusly:
Under the guise of being true patriotic Americans, the Bund seeks to bring fascism to America, and do away with that pesky Constitution. This is seen as true Americanism, since it would allow the body politic to be true to itself, its true culture and identity.
Doing away with the Constitution? Why, what nutty Depression-era Hollywood science fiction!

3 Weekend Getaways From Atlanta
Three ways to get your Southern fix in and around Atlanta.
The Sanctuary: Piedmont Park
Honking horns give way to birdsong in Piedmont Park's dense hardwood forest—made more accessible by a new set of footbridges and paved trails. Next year the leafy 200-acre park, set among Midtown's high-rises, celebrates its 110th anniversary by opening 12 1/2 more acres, plus open-air classrooms for courses on sustainability. Save some time for a stroll through the adjoining Atlanta Botanical Garden, where asters, goldenrods, and other fall blooms are opening this month.
The Neighborhood: Old Fourth Ward
History meets hip in the O4W, the birthplace of Martin Luther King Jr. A short walk—but worlds away—from MLK's National Historic Site is kitschy bar Sister Louisa's Church, where Owen Wilson and Lady Gaga have been spotted playing Ping-Pong. At local favorite 4th & Swift ($$$), chef Jay Swift puts an upscale spin on comfort food (pheasant-confit mac-and-cheese; pork loin with bourbon peaches). Need a pick-me-up? Head to Dancing Goats Coffee Shop (pictured) in the new food-centric Ponce City Market.

Choose your acids wisely. Avoid acids of small molecular size, such as glycolic acid, that can penetrate the dermis. Instead, choose acids of larger molecular size that work in the epidermal layer, such as lactic, malic, pyruvic and tartaric acids.
Support the skin's barrier function. After exfoliation, reinforce the barrier function by protecting the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) to guard against transepidermal water loss (TEWL). This can be achieved through the use of certain ingredients, including ceramides, squalane, fatty acids, phospholipids, amino acids, lactates and pyroglutamic acid (PCA).
Use anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredients. Soothe and replenish the skin with ingredients that counteract irritation and inflammation. And, since oxidation is an age-accelerating side effect of inflammaging, make sure you pack the skin with protective antioxidants. See Popular Ingredients to Combat Inflammaging for a list of recommended ingredients.
Protect your results. Inflammaging can worsen with prolonged sun exposure, so be sure to end every treatment with a sunscreen application of SPF 30 or higher.
The skin care industry is fast approaching a watershed moment in the treatment of aging skin. Increasingly, scientific evidence suggests that many of today's trademark treatments may actually exacerbate the conditions they're designed to treat in the long term, thanks to a phenomenon known as inflammaging. This previously unknown consequence poses a challenge to product developers who must adapt their formulations to meet shifting consumer demands or risk losing their shares of the market. As the concept of inflammaging goes mainstream, it may result in a widespread change in the professional skin care industry, transforming everything from the ingredients that professionals use to the methods by which they use them. (See Tips to Address Inflammaging in the Treatment Room.)
First coined by University of Bologna professor Claudio Franceschi, PhD, more than a decade ago, inflammaging began as a theory linking underlying inflammatory changes to the causes of most age-associated diseases. Since its inception, research continues to present convincing evidence taking this concept from theory to fact.1–3
The term "inflammaging" is used to describe the aging phenomenon induced by chronic, persistent inflammation. Most people are familiar with the visible inflammation that can be seen on the surface of the skin, with redness representing a sign of infection, irritation or discomfort. However, inflammation can also be invisible. All skin—and certainly weakened or aged skin—is subject to inflammation, even at low intensities. It is this underlying inflammation that ultimately exhausts the body's defense system, dismantling key youth-sustaining skin structures, and resulting in collagen and elastin degradation, as well as a breakdown of the skin's barrier function.
The inflammaging process involves a highly complex chain of events, by which acute inflammation gradually gives way to chronic, or silent, inflammation. To understand how to combat inflammaging, skin care professionals must first understand the inflammatory cascade of reactions that erode the skin's structure, ultimately manifesting in the form of deep wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and flaccid, inelastic tissue.
Inflammation is the body's response to cellular aggression or injury. It represents a defense mechanism designed to heal cells from injury and protect the body from the consequences of that injury. Cell injury may occur due to trauma, genetic defects, physical and chemical aggressions, tissue death, foreign bodies, immune reactions and infections. Inflammation also facilitates early tissue healing and repair, and allows the body to restore itself to a normal form and function.
Health Challenged Skin: The Estheticians' Desk Reference is designed to address the lack of esthetic knowledge in the area of skin diseases. Chances are you have come across more clients with diabetes,allergies, Crohn's Disease and Autoimmune diseases just to mention a few.

Also, the disc will offer Kola Cell, a mission made available previously by download through Xbox Live. There are four new maps for Ghost Recon: Island Thunder. These are Aurora, a compound set in the desert; Riverbed, canyons bisected by a dry riverbed; Roadblock, an intersection blocked with debris; and Tank, a road crossing over bridges and canyons. Each of these missions has different objectives.
Rainbow Six 3 for the Xbox is due in early November for $49.99. However, currently both EBGames.com and Gamestop.com are selling the Rainbow Six 3 demo disc separately for $9.99.

2014 Predictions For The Phoenix Real Estate Market
There's a lot of changes due around the country in 2014… and the housing market isn't exactly safe from those changes.
Phoenix, Arizona, like most major housing markets across the country, experienced some rather interesting changes over the bulk of 2013, notably amounting to spikes in housing prices throughout the year.
This year, according to real estate experts in the region, say that the Phoenix real estate market is likely to see 'less drastic price spikes, higher interest rates and decreasing interest associated with Wall Street investors, with the commercial sector due for a longer recovery.' To go more into detail about these assumptions, we're going to take a look at the industry's predictions for 2014, as relayed from news sources.
2014 predictions for Phoenix real estate
The housing market will recover at a much slower rate this year.
This is mainly attributed to the fact that the Phoenix metro market has actually been in recovery for the past two years. While there were relatively interesting market fluctuations over the past two years, experts in the area say that the recovery will last throughout the year, though at a 'much slower and normal' pace than previously seen.
This year's 'year-over-year' price spikes are also expected to hover in the 6 to 8 percent range, drastically lower than those in 2013. Last year, those price fluctuations hovered in the 25 to 30 percent range.
Experts also mentioned that the mortgage sector will see some changes to its current interest rates, which are expected to be 'much higher' than the 3.5 percent rates of the past. As for the home building sector, the city of Phoenix expects to get as least '14,700 new home permits,' according to their conservative estimates. This comes after a rather disappointing results in terms of the new home market from last year, where Phoenix only issued out 'less than 13,000′ new home permits.

Wall Street's 'home buying' phase will end.
Phoenix, along with other choice locations throughout the United States, was one of the targets of Wall Street's home buying and renting business aspirations. That was two years ago, and even around that time, their buying prowess peaked (July 2012) after they acquired a little over 800 single-family homes.
The nine firms associated with Wall Street now own over 13,000 homes across the Maricopa County, which amounts of about 5 percent of the single family inventory there. Since home prices in the Maricopa County area have increased over the past year, their home buying activity actually slowed down. According to experts, that's expected to continue throughout 2014 as they look to other potential markets.
The construction industry will continue to struggle.
With the proliferation of retailers expanding their web connectivity and the lack of home builders, the construction industry in the country is expected to take another hit this year.
While industrial construction is doing relatively all right, experts pin that on the proliferation of 'big users' who need the work done. Since smaller users don't or aren't actively seeking help from the construction industry, the sector is still considered at least 'two years away' from recovery, particularly when that activity is expected to start picking up again.

Bill Pay
Bill Pay BILL FAQ
You can pay anyone in the United States that you would normally pay by check or automatic debit. Even if you don't receive bills from the company or person you want to pay, you can still add the information we use to make payments. You can pay large companies and small companies, as well as individuals such as child care providers or family members.
When you pay a bill, Bill Pay sends the payment electronically whenever possible. If the company or person cannot receive electronic payments, Bill Pay prints a check and sends it to the address you provide when you add your bill.
To add a company or person to your list of bills, you first select one of the following options:
If you have a bill, statement, or invoice from the company you want to pay, select the option Company with an account number. Check your statement for the company's name and your account number. If the biller has a unique identifier for your account, please enter it as your account number. Your account number provides the most important information that your biller uses to credit your payments properly.
When you select the option Company with an account number, you can either:
When you add a company with an account number, you may be able to add an electronic bill. An electronic bill typically contains the same information as the printed bill that is mailed to you.
If you want to make payments to a company that has not provided you with an account number, we can send payments with your name and address as identifying information. For example, if you make payments to a lawn service, they may only require your name and address information to credit your payments properly.
When you select the option Company without an account number, you can either:
You can take advantage of the same Bill Pay features to make payments to individuals as well as to companies.
For example, you may make weekly or monthly payments to a person for housecleaning or child care services, or you may send an allowance to a child at college. If you pay the same amount each period, you can set up an automatic schedule for your payments to avoid writing checks for each payment.
When you select the option Person, you can either:
You cannot use Bill Pay to pay any company or person with an address outside the United States or its territories.
You can use Bill Pay to make state and federal tax payments and court-ordered payments; however, such payments are discouraged and must be scheduled at your own risk.
No, you do not need to contact the companies or people that you pay if you use this service. We make the payment based on the information you provided when you added your bill. If we have already established a relationship with a company or person you want to pay, we may send the payment electronically or to a location specified by the biller. Otherwise, we print and mail a check to the address you provided. If you enter your account information, we send it with your payment so that the company can credit your account properly.
Add a bill for each separate account you have with the company.
For example, if your phone company provides your home phone service, your wireless phone service, and your Internet service, you can add the company to your list of bills three times, each time with a different account number. If your phone company consolidates all of the information on one bill and provides you with one account number, you only need to add the phone company to your list of bills once.
Why do I receive an email from firstname.lastname@example.com?
Each time you set up a new Biller via Bill Pay you will receive an email confirmation from firstname.lastname@example.com. This is an additional protection to verify that you set up and approve the biller. If you did not set up the biller and you received an email, please contact Customer Service at 866.679.3396.

Sep 6th 2009 4:36PM I never really liked the original keybinding set-up for WoW. Forcing yourself to move away from the movement keys never really seemed that intuitive to me. I've moved my movement keys from WASD to RDFG, and that lets me map more keys (a full 10) around my movement instead of above them. It's worked out very well, even though I'm considering moving them one more key over to TFGH to get more keys to the left side of my hand.
WoW Moviewatch: 5Cap {WoW}
Jul 16th 2009 11:01AM The sound was horrible. I liked the beat, I liked the lyrics, loved the flow that Abandonation put out, but the way it was mixed together was just awful.
Ancilorn reveals extended EU maintenance next week {WoW}
Jul 9th 2009 6:49PM I once wandered onto the EU forum by accident and wondered who this "Ancilorn" guy was and how he managed to take over the forums with a polar bear. Then I realized I was on the wrong forum and went back to the comforting images of a fel reaper and a flaming skull thing.
Patch 3.2: The day we find out who stands in Yogg clouds {WoW}
Jun 18th 2009 9:55PM I think you're actually looking for "my guild and me". If I remember correctly (which I probably don't), it's supposed to work so that if you took out either part of the subject, it would still work (i.e. "Like my guild, you may have..." and "Like me, you may have..."), but the speaker always comes second.

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- State safety officials say travel remains limited across southeast Minnesota.
Late this morning, Governor Dayton made an executive order freeing up the National Guard to help stranded motorists in Renville, Steele, and Freeborn counties. The cost will be offset by general state funds.
Drifting and compacted snow is making roadways dangerous, with many limited to a single lane.
The biggest closure us Interstate 35 southbound, which is closed from Owatonna to Albert Lea. The portion from Albert Lea to the Iowa border has recently reopened.
Interstate 90 between Austin and Dexter has re-opened, however just down the road -- westbound between Dexter to Highway 63 remains closed.
Here's a look at the other temporarily closed, or impassable highways:

Pacifist 2.5 Release Notes
Support for Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and its new package format
Support for .xar archives
Support for .zip archives with extensive format support - should correctly extract Mac and UNIX metadata from Apple's Zip format as well as MacZip, SmartZip, ZipIt, and InfoZip archives. In order to achieve support for all these formats as well as the "Open URL" feature, Pacifist has a new Zip parser written completely from scratch rather than using existing functionality such as the 'zip' command-line tool.
A new "Open URL" feature makes it possible to remotely load archives over the network. For .zip, .xar, .dmg, and Leopard .pkg packages, this feature only downloads the portion of the file which is necessary to read it, causing files to open much more quickly than it would take to download the whole archive (.zip files, in particular, are very fast - try it!).
All files in a package can now be viewed right in Pacifist using of a new "View Files" feature. The "View Files" feature includes support for various text and image file types, as well as support for RTF, RTFD, HTML, MS Word, and property list files. Pacifist 2.5 also adds a new hexadecimal file viewer for viewing binary files and unknown file types.
Loading a disk image containing a package will now cause the package to be loaded and its contents to be displayed.
Underscore files (._example) are no longer displayed as separate files, but are now considered an attribute of the original file. If a file has an underscore file or a resource fork associated with it, a badge is added to its icon to indicate this.
Package resources can now be extracted, just like package contents.
The Verify feature now ignores the permissions of symbolic links.
The Verify feature now has a "Zero-Length Files" check to detect files that may have been emptied by the recent prebinding bug in OS X
The search feature now employs a proper search field, as well as Command-G and Command-Shift-G to iterate through the search results.
Files that are being viewed via the "View Files" feature can now be searched.
Pacifist now includes an option to create BOM files.
Removed some outdated options from the preferences.
Unfortunately, the Czech localization has been removed from this version. Hopefully, it will be able to be re-added at some point in the future.
Numerous bug fixes.

It's been 53 years since Grace Kelly married Prince Rainier III, thereby ascending from Hollywood royalty to the real thing, and 29 years since Diana Spencer walked down the aisle at St. Paul's Cathedral to wed Prince Charles. So the world seems a bit overdue for a new variation on that classic fairy-tale ending: the commoner who becomes princess. In the coming months, Princess Grace of Monaco and Princess Diana may finally begin to cede their spot in the public imagination to a new generation of royal women (and their would-have-been daughters-in-law). After Kate Middleton and Charlene Wittstock marry their princes — Prince William of Wales and Prince Albert II of Monaco, respectively — fashion folk will wait to see whether they'll be setting the trends or simply following them.
The jury is still out, and so far designers have been diplomatic in their evaluations of both women's styles.
Giorgio Armani has been dressing Wittstock — a onetime Olympic swimmer for her native South Africa with a lean build and toned shoulders — for the past two years. Not surprisingly, Mr. Armani is full of praise for the princess-to-be.
"Tall, sporty and at the same time sophisticated, Charlene knows how to wear even the grandest evening dresses with the nonchalance and freshness of youth," he told WWD this month.
Karl Lagerfeld, who knows Wittstock well and has photographed her for several magazines, says he's hopeful the beauty will have a positive impact on her new country.
"I think she wants to give some sparkle to Monaco," he says. "A place like this needs a beautiful princess, and she's very handsome and stunning."
The tall, slim Middleton, meanwhile, has already been forging something of a reputation as a fashion plate: Her blue Issa dress spawned myriad cut-price knockoffs, and versions of the high street designs she wore for her recent engagement photos will be reissued.
Armani calls Middleton "so discreet and straightforward, but highly aware of fashion trends." He adds: "She will have all the time in the world to become fully integrated into her new role and choose the most sophisticated and precious dresses and outfits for official occasions."
Lagerfeld says Middleton is "very different from Princess Diana and seems very well balanced and a happy person. She is chic in a way the position needs. Let's wait and see."
Below, the tale of the tape for the soon-to-be princesses. Queensberry Rules, of course, apply.
Kate Middleton, age 28
An unapologetically classic dresser, Middleton is a tweed-and-flat-boots or jersey-wrap-dress-and-discreet-jewelry kind of gal. She's clearly a considered consumer, too: She aggressively shopped her closet for the Mario Testino engagement photos, sending out a "Make-do and Mend" message meant for Britain's age of austerity. In one photo, she wore a white Reiss dress that cost 159 pounds, or $253. The white winter coat that she frequently wears is also old Reiss. In the other Testino photo, Middleton donned a white silk, vintage-inspired blouse from Whistles' autumn 2008 season.
Potential Wedding Gown
Although Bruce Oldfield has been widely tipped as the man to create Middleton's wedding gown, it now appears there is another very serious contender: The London-based bridal designer Phillipa Lepley. Although Lepley, who designed wedding gowns for British celebrities including Ulrika Jonsson and Davina McCall, has always been in the running, the latest buzz in London is that she will design the dress.
Favorite Labels
Middleton has been snapped in outfits by Issa, Alice Temperley, Collette Dinnigan and Diane von Furstenberg, and the high street's Reiss, Whistles, Kew, and BCBG Max Azria. She's also a fan of the tailored jackets from English designer Katherine Hooker.
Not surprisingly, Middleton favors practical carryalls from Longchamp and Bric's. She has her long, chocolate brown hair and grooming done at Richard Ward in Sloane Square — a favorite of Chelsea socialites and TV presenters — and wears hats by Philip Treacy. She favors small jewelry and, in particular, pieces by Patrick Mavros, whose designs are inspired by the wild animals of Africa.
She will inevitably be compared to Diana, who found her own fashion feet with help from Anna Harvey, a former deputy editor of Vogue who is credited with helping to update her style from Sloaney to sophisticated. Middleton, who hasn't had a public misstep since she began dating Prince William, risks treading safe fashion ground for the rest of her life, which would result in a collective yawn in Britain and abroad.

Banner Heart Hospital
Sponsor of the American Heart Association Heart Walk
February 26th, 2011
On February 26, 2011, EmpowHER partner Banner Heart Hospital participated in the American Heart Association's Start! Heart Walk at Tempe Beach Park, which celebrates those who have made lifestyle changes and encourages many more to take the pledge to live healthier lifestyles while raising the dollars needed to fund life-saving research and initiatives. Banner Heart, a sponsor of the event, had a station at the Heart Healthy Festival after the walk. EmpowHER was at the station during the event capturing stories of people that are supporting this cause.
She is an advocate for the American Heart Association and shares this tip for a healthy heart: get 30 minutes of exercise 5 times a week.
She is eighty years old and has had two bypasses and a valve replacement. She works out every day and believes the secret to staying healthy at eighty is exercising everyday and eating healthy. She has participated in the walk for the past two years.
Several studies document that women are more likely than men to present with chest pain rather than a definite event like a heart attack as either the first or subsequent expression of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Read Full StoryIt is never too early to develop a healthy lifestyle to help reduce your risk for heart disease. Some of the recommendations from the American Heart Association (AHA) are directly related to choices we make regarding our lifestyle.
Read Full StoryYes, heart attack symptoms can be different for women. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of American women — despite race or ethnicity. Heart disease kills one of every three American women.

Season 3, Episode 3
Thursday 29 March
What with GameCity being a project of Nottingham Trent University, it's fair to say that we're rather enthusiastic about games academia. So, we're incredibly excited to announce the details for this month's GameCityNights, Episode 3, which will be headlined by Dan Pinchbeck.
Mr Pinchbeck is a researcher and senior games lecturer at University of Portsmouth AND the founder of thechineseroom, creators of the brilliant and hugely successful title, Dear Esther.
Dear Esther (screens below) is an experimental, first person adventure title which tackles new narrative devices in games. Originally created as a Half Life 2 mod, thanks to backing from the Indie Fund, it recently launched as a full title on Steam and recouped the money in less than SIX HOURS! With over 16,000 sales on day one, it seems this experiment has paid off.
Now, Pinchbeck is going to headline March's Nights. Looking at the mix of academia and development, and how the two inform and compliment one another, Pinchbeck will peel back the layers of games development and share his knowledge with the crowd, from launching a start-up to bringing a game to market, and more.
Not only that, we'll have Luke Whittaker of the mighty State of Play Games taking us through IGF finalist Lume; for anyone who's not seen this game in action, its hand cut visuals are utterly charming.
We'll also have the usual medley of indie games, Beat the Bull, competitions, prizes and more. Expect more news over the rest of the week.

Journal Archives > Roots > Science for the Public
Science for the Public Number 5 - February 1992
Li et al.
Ensuring that science is made more available to young people through education is of paramount importance to the Nanjing Botanic Garden. The Education Programme provides its services to elementary schools, middle schools and universities. It has been developed to complement classroom teaching and fit into the schools' curriculum. Taking advantage of the Garden's living collection and landscaped environment, the programme has developed vivid and interesting activities such as autumn or spring outings, story-telling sessions, handicrafts using plants etc. The activities take account of the childrens' natural curiosity and lead them to observe and discover the beauty of nature, to cultivate a love and respect for it ,and to create a sense of environmental protection. Close collaboration is developed between the Garden and the teachers and students of middle schools. Lectures, summer training courses, organized visits and the exchange of scientific information is arranged for biology teachers and for students, summer and winter camps are held, scientific guides are provided and competitions organized to enhance their interest in biology. With respect to university students, professional trainees are regularly received in the Garden to consolidate and build on what they have learned in the classroom, the aim being to integrate theory with practice. Extra-curricular lectures are given to students on themes such as plants and culture, flower customs, scenery in overseas botanical gardens, etc. These activities play a large part in helping students accumulate botanical knowledge, broaden their outlook and heighten their artistic appreciation. In the past two years more than 1,000 trainees have visited the Garden, over 1,000 people (in 26 groups) have joined the summer and winter camps and over 20 lectures have been given to university students. All these activities have been very warmly received by school teachers and students and have been successful in helping to create effective co-operative links between educational institutions and the Garden. Attention has also been paid to pre-school education and botanical knowledge. Teaching materials have been prepared on planting and plans are underway to make the Garden more accessible to children of kindergarten age through appropriate design. To increase social awareness, the Garden strives to utilize various elements of nature in an artistic fashion. For example, through the establishment of a picture gallery and through pamphlets, photographs and pictures etc. Various exhibitions are held such as: "The Plastic Art of Fruits, Vegetable and Flowers"; "Botanical Illustration"; "Chinese Potted Landscape"; "Flower Arranging", etc. and lectures are given on special topics such as "Chinese Herbal Medicine and Health Protection" and, "Plants and the Human Environment". The Garden has published a number of books such as Floriculture; Flower Arranging; Artistry and Appreciation of Flower Arranging; Foliage House Plants; The Control of Flower Diseases and Pests, etc. as well as a number of popular scientific articles and photographs for newspapers and relevant magazines, and translations are also undertaken of important documents including UNESCO's "Ecology in Action: A Programme on Man and the Biosphere". These activites all aim to introduce botanical knowledge to the public and stress the importance of environmental protection. Although the Education Programme has been hampered by insufficient resources and lack of experience, great achievements have been made and the Garden is eager to develop the programme further. Through close co-operation and the exchange of ideas it is hoped that colleagues at home and abroad will provide the Garden with information about their useful experiences - Roots readers visiting China are of course warmly invited to visit the garden at their convenience. The aim is nothing short of improving the quality of the global environment to benefit ourselves and future generations. Sensibilisation Scientifique et Pédagogie au Jardin Botanique Nanjing (NBG)RésuméLe programme éducatif pédagogique a été commencé au cours des années 1970. Les écoles primaires, les lycées et les universités profitent de ces services. Le programme pédagogique était conçu pour valoriser des ensiegnements et les programmes scolaires. Une collaboration étroite a été établie entre le Jardin et les professeurs et étudiants des lycées.Au cours des deux derniers ann'es, plus de 1,000 stagiaires ont été accueillis et plus de 1,000 personnes (en 26 groupes) se sont inscrites aux camps nature pendant l'été et l'hiver. Parallèlement, à l'université plus de 20 conférences ont été suivies par les étudiants. Le Jardin accueille les préscolaires pour des activités de plantation, et les enfants des écoles maternelles pour lesquels des activités pédagogiques ont été préparées. Des aménagements du jardin permettent un meilleur accueil de ces groupes. Le grand public est sensibilisé à la nature par des photographies, des fascicules et des expositions. Des conférences et des articles de vulgarisation scientifique ont été realisées et certains ont été publiés par le Jardin.Le Jardin désire agrandir et améliorer son programme pédagogique; il espère que des collègues de Chine et d'autres pays lui fourniront leurs propres expériences de leurs programmes. Fianalement, le but de ce travail est de contribuer à l'amélioration de l'environnement dans le monde afin que nos et les générations futures en profitions.Populización Científica y Educación Ambiental en el Jardín Botánico de Nanjing (JBN)Resumen |

With our most patriotic holiday right around the corner, we're feeling a soft spot for baseball, Old Glory and that American-as-you-can-get dessert, apple pie. Here's where to find one, plus two other ways to appreciate apples in the EV.
Apple pie at Piefection
6731 E. Brown Road, No. 104, Mesa
(480) 218-7437 or PiefectionAZ.com
This cute specialty shop sells from-scratch Country Apple pies (a blend of fruit, ground nutmeg and cinnamon spice for $13), No-Sugar-Added Country Apple pies ($15), and Country Apple Crumb pies finished with a buttery streusel topping ($13). Everything is made in-house daily with no preservatives or additives. Bring back your reusable pie tin, and you'll get $1 off your next pie.
U-Pick Apples at Schnepf Farms
24810 S. Rittenhouse Rd., Queen Creek
(480) 987-3100 or SchnepfFarms.com
You have a few more days to pick your own apples at Schnepf's orchards, where $1 will buy you a pound of Ana apples, kind of a cross between a Red Delicious and a Granny Smith, said farmer Carrie Schnepf. You could put them into a pie, but we'll be pairing ours with blueberries and white wine in a red-white-and-blue sangria. The farm is open 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 27 through 30. It closes for July and August. Admission is free; you'll pay only for what you pick.
The Apple Burger and The Grilled Apple at Apple Dumpling Cafe
3076 E. Chandler Heights Road, No. 101, Gilbert
(480) 279-3879 or AppleDumplingCafe.com
The Stella Apple Burger ($9.95) is one of this Gilbert cafe's most requested items. Weighing in at more than one-third pound, it's a beef patty topped with sauteed cinnamon apples, crispy bacon, melty muenster cheese and a raspberry chipotle sauce.
Almost as popular is the Grilled Apple sandwich ($9.45), which combines sliced, sauteed apples in a maple-cinnamon glaze, sweet sliced ham and melted havarti cheese on thick-sliced grilled sourdough bread that's been brushed with butter, cinnamon and sugar.
A side, like fries, coleslaw, potato salad or fresh fruit, comes with either sandwich.
• Got a hankering for a specific food, drink or other facet of the local dining scene? Let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com, and we could feature your request in a future 3 to Try.

Without huarango trees to release moisture to the atmosphere, the local climate became progressively drought-prone, thus dooming the agriculture in this very arid part of southern Peru. Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew is working with local people, government and industry to re-establish hyperarid woodlands in southern Peru. For more than five years, school children and their parents have learned about the importance of the native huarango tree to their own economic well-being, and have become major partners in re-establishing the woodlands and conserving remnant stands of native vegetation. They have propagated tens of thousands of native trees, shrubs and herbs and the new woodland is over one kilometre long. |

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — Both legislative supporters and opponents of gay marriage are taking inspiration from a district court judge's ruling that same-sex couples can't get divorced in Wyoming.
Last November, Judicial District Court Judge Keith Kautz refused to grant a divorce to a Lusk couple, Paula and Victoria Lee Christiansen, who married in Canada in 2006.
In his ruling, Kautz stated that there's a conflict in Wyoming law about whether the state recognizes legal same-sex marriages from outside the state. A Wyoming statute defines marriage as a contract "between a male and a female person," but state law also recognizes any valid marriage performed outside the state.
Kautz ruled that because the Legislature, in passing the statutes more than 100 years ago, defined marriage as only between a man and a woman, he didn't have jurisdiction to grant a divorce to a same-sex couple.
Paula Christiansen is appealing to the Wyoming Supreme Court. Neither she, Victoria Christiansen, nor their attorneys returned messages seeking comment.
Meanwhile, Wyoming legislators this session are preparing to debate bills that seek to prohibit recognition of same-sex marriages performed in other states and, on the opposite end of the spectrum, to legalize gay marriage in Wyoming.
Both sides said the Christiansens' divorce case showed the need to clarify Wyoming law when it comes to recognizing gay marriage — though, of course, the two sides want to clarify the law in different ways.
State Sen. Curt Meier, R-LaGrange, who's sponsoring a proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, said the lawsuit shows the need for legislators to take action and end the conflict in the law.
"We need to let legislators and the people decide instead of the courts," Meier said.
State Rep. Cathy Connolly, D-Laramie, agreed with Meier that the Christiansen's divorce case is evidence that the law needs to be clarified. But Connolly, the only openly gay member of the Wyoming Legislature, is looking to provide that clarification by sponsoring legislation that legalizes gay marriage in the state.
"It's absolutely time to recognize that we have gay families in the state, and that they should have the rights, duties and obligations as any other family," she said. "We shouldn't be treated differently — it's as simple as that."
