JetBlue's Cutest Passenger Ever is an Orphaned Cougar Kitten
The darling of the internet both this week and last week was, without a doubt, little Pup 681. The Southern Sea Otter was found orphaned and crying on a California beach and, after rehabilitation at Monterey Bay, she now is learning to swim and gaining in health at Chicago's Shedd Aquarium.
In the midst of Otter hyper, media has totally missed the equally adorable story of another orphaned baby animal on his way to a new life. "Blue," a 4-week-old cougar kitten was found in Idaho and, as wildlife officials were unable to reunite him with his mother, he was in need of a new home and transportation to it.

A New List of America's Top 10 Zoos Needs Some (Minor) Adjustments
Apparently USA Today owns something called 10Best. We don't know much about 10Best, except that it seems to publish travel-related Top 10 lists and its Twitter profile goes back to 2008. The division - we suppose it counts as a media division - also just published a list of the U.S.'s top 10 zoos.
That list, which was the result of four weeks of online voting and which we've reproduced below, is in a very precise sense obviously and straightforwardly incorrect.

There are So Many Baby Animals at the DC Zoo Right Now
Washington DC has now had sunshine without rain for almost 24 hours straight, so that's enough for us to declare that winter is over and the unbearable humidity of summer can begin. As always during the summer months - and we actually flag this transition for you every year - that means we're going to stray from travel politics stories and into the occasional zoo travel roundup. Partly it's because nothing happens in Washington during the summer and we need content. But really it's because, by the time May hits, we just can't take these people any more. If you want to mark the precise moment we broke this year, in fact, here's the exact post from last week about the TSA.
Meanwhile the Smithsonian's National Zoo, which is across the street from Jaunted's DC headquarters, is overflowing with baby animals. So let's talk about them instead, shall we? Videos embedded at the bottom.

Where to See Baby Lions While the DC Zoo's Webcam is Offline
Zookeepers at Washington DC's National Zoo, which literally shares a driveway with Jaunted's DC headquarters, have been doing their best to keep the public informed about the pair of baby lions born in late January to mother Nababiep. Medical exams of the cubs have revealed that they are "adorable" - that's an actual quote - and for the first few weeks fans from around the world could track the infants on the zoo's lion cam.
Recently, however, the lion cam feeds have gone dark in anticipation of another impending litter, this time to Nababiep's sister Shera. There's a more robust explanation of where each lioness hangs out, and how that influenced the decision to cut the feeds, here. But the short story is that - for now - the Internet has one less place with baby lions.
Whatever are people to do?

How Five Festive Zoos are Celebrating the Season
Even if there�s still way too much shopping left it�s fine to take a little holiday break to enjoy the season. Load up on the hot chocolate or one of those red cup beverages from Starbucks and head out to the zoo. It might not seem that seasonal, but when they flip the switch on the lights and decorations it becomes a winter wonderland. Here�s a few zoos doing the Christmas lights thing this holiday season:
Christmas at the Zoo � Indianapolis Zoo, Indiana
At the Indianapolis Zoo they have been having this kind of fun for 45 years, and things continue this year each and ever night�between 5pm and 9pm�through December 30. They actually claim the title for the first zoo in the country to do this kind of thing, so we can only assume they know how to combine animals with the holidays�like the holiday dolphin shows. There�s carolers, LED lights everywhere you look, and even Santa is around to say hello. Offseason admission starts at $10 for adults, and all the seasonal stuff is included with your ticket.
Zoo Lights � Houston Zoo, Texas
This is the best chance to celebrate the holidays at the zoo well into the New Year, as the Houston Zoo does their Zoo Lights thing through January 4�with a couple days off on Christmas and Christmas Eve. Things run between 6pm and 10pm, as the zoo is transformed into a winter wonderland. Stroll through the oak trees that have been covered in colorful LED lights, and then take in their holiday trains, dollhouse village, and enchanted forest. Even some of the critters will be around to check things out as well, as the lights do their thing in and around where the cougars, jaguars, lions, and leopards call home. Admission here is $10 if you order things in advance, but at the gate it�ll be $12.

Why You Should Visit DC's National Zoo ASAP
Usually we save zoo travel posts for the spring and summer, since that's when people go to zoos, and we like to be helpful. But there are exceptions to every rule, and - wouldn't you know it - baby animals count as some of those exceptions.
The Washington DC National Zoo has in recent months been blessed with quite a few baby animals. Lots of the attention has been lavished in particular on the zoo's new baby panda and two new baby tigers. All were born around the same time and all were in the news today.

How Virtual Penguins are Leading the Way to Tokyo's Sunshine Aquarium
As is well known and widely acknowledged, Japan is a land of crazy. The plain assertion doesn't really require any proof, but if it did there are entire websites devoted to the insanity that pervades the Land of the Rising Sun. Even their zoos and aquariums are batshit, allowing you to do everything from shake hands with otters to watch Santa Claus play with dolphins.
Somewhere in between shaking otters hands and Santa Claud on a dolphin, there's this very cute bit of travel advertising from Japan's Sunshine Aquarium. The tourist attraction is kind of a hike from the nearest station, and aquarium officials wanted to make sure people could find it. The solution? An augmented reality app where penguins guide tourists along the right path. Because Japan, of course.

Google Adds the World's Epicenter of Panda Cuteness to Street View
The Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding has been around for a quarter of a century, cares for roughly 30% of the world's panda bears, has facilitated some 125 panda births, and is in China. That last bit has posed a problem for casual and even regular travelers, because it turns out that planning and executing a trip to China is a bit of a thing.
Logically, then, Google just announced that it's adding the grounds to its ever-expanding list of zoos that are on Street View. Also on the list is our beloved San Diego Zoo, as well as a dozen other zoos across the world. There's actually a full list of zoos that have been added over at the Google Maps blog post about the Chengdu addition.

What New with the Taipei Zoo's Baby Panda Cub?
You'll remember Yuan Zai as the adorable panda cub - now just over 40 days old - who became an international star when the Taipei Zoo released video of her being reunited with her mother Yuan Yuan for the first time since birth. Zookeepers had whisked Yuan Zai away because she was injured, both to provide her with around the clock medical care and because panda mothers sometimes kill injured offspring. When Yuan Yuan and Yuan Zai were reunited, the video predictably went viral. Embedded below.
Now that she's a certified Internet celebrity, every move that Yuan Zai makes counts as news. Today's big development: she's opening her eyes! They where half open during her last medical examination, and now the next step is happening. Consider yourselves briefed.

Some Baby Elephants to Visit as Summer Winds Down
August is, in many parts of the country, a miserable month. The weather is hot, humid, and - if you're lucky - punctuated by thunderstorms. But it still counts as summer, which means summer travel, which means zoo travel. All of which is a roundabout way of saying here are some U.S. zoos with baby elephants that you can go visit:
· The Fort Worth Zoo's social media people have been having a lot of fun with their new baby elephant, Belle. We've embedded a couple of videos below that showcase the newborn. The first is a news video with footage of Belle playing in a kiddie pool. The footage was produced by the zoo and published by the Associated Press. It quickly went viral, mostly on account of how it's a video of a baby elephant playing in a kiddie pool. The second video is an ad produced by the zoo, and if you watch it through the end you'll see even more baby elephant footage.

From New York to Florida, 'Brew At The Zoo' Events Dominate August
If you�ve ever wanted to get drunk with a skunk now is the time to do it. August seems to be a hit with zoos across the country, as they�re rolling out the beer as well as the animals. Here are a few spots to cool off with a sudsy drink while checking out some critters:
WaZoo � Tampa�s Lowry Park Zoo
You�ll need to start planning sooner than later, as this weekend is when the beers and the bears come together at Tampa�s Lowry Park Zoo during this year�s WaZoo event on August between 7:30 and 10:30pm. This beer festival features plenty of food from local restaurants, live music, and of course all the animals you care to view. Tickets are pricey�$70 per person in advance�but it does include plenty of beer, your tasting cup, as well as some food sampling. Local breweries like Cigar City Brewing are even cooking up something special for the event, so be sure to arrive thirsty.

Get Your Adorable Otter Handshakes in (Where Else But) Japan
Last summer we gave you a guide for visiting baby otters at various zoos around the United States. You guys seemed to like the post, which makes sense since it was about baby otters. But what if you're a person who wants to hang out with cute otters, and now it's a whole new summer?
If you're lucky, and you're indulging in Japan Travel, then there's a fairly straightforward solution: go visit the Keikyu Aburatsubo Marine Park. Not only do they have otters, but they have otters that will actually shake your hand and interact with you. Just so everyone's on the same page before we get to the nitty-gritty details: there's a place in Japan where you can go, pay a $5 charge, and then an adorable otter will take your finger and say hi. Damn, some things are better in Japan.

East Village
New York, NY, 10009, United States
Mexico City—born chef Patricio Sandoval reinterprets traditional Mexican cuisine using local ingredients at this East Village taqueria. Part of a small national chain, the Avenue B Mercadito (Spanish for "little market") is housed in a narrow, thatched-roof space with colorful Mexican paintings and rough-hewn wooden tables. Portions are small to encourage sharing, and the menu includes fresh ceviches, botanas (snacks), and inventive tacos, like the rosemary-marinated skirt steak with potato, avocado, poblanos, tomato crema (cream), and Manchego cheese. The late night all-you-can-eat taco deal is especially popular, as are the fresh fruit margaritas and red sangria tinged with cinnamon.
Insider Tip:
Mercadito's tables are closely packed in a tiny space, so request a seat at the bar if you prefer a little more breathing room.

RE: Tharp
I have only recently expanded my research to include the siblings of my ggg-grandfather, Thomas Tharp and at this time I have not learned what happened to Hannah. When Perry died in 1848, Hannah would have only been about 20 years of age, so I'm sure she remarried.
If I can learn when and where she died, I will submit a link request at that time.

Hi All- Dont ask what possessed me to attemp peanuts in Chicago. I guess I just got seduced by the verbiage in the Southern Exposure seed catalog. At any rate, now that you have stopped laughing, can you help me understand what I will need to get a small crop? I am only growing a five foot row. Outside of the routine soil ammendments of compost and compost tea, are there other things that peanuts need? Is full sun the only option? Are their companion plants that they grow well with? Should I start them in the house?
I'd appreciate any help,thanks again. |

My mother use to grow them up here in Nova Scotia during the summer. That was years and years ago now, but I don't remember her doing anything special. The peanuts develop like potatoes, below the soil, attached to the root of the plant. I believe they are rather heavy feeders, but if you provide them with full sun, fertilizer, well watered in soil that is not too heavy or compacted they should grow just fine for you. If you have heavy clay soil like I do, try mixing in some peat moss and FRESH cat litter [or garage floor dry...which is what I use for cat litter, cheaper and works better. You can find it at any home depo/auto store] to break up the clay Best of luck, let us know how you make out with 'em. |

Hi Curious - I grew peanuts years ago, near Ottawa,ON. I was on quite sandy soil, and watered a fair amount, but didn't do anything else too exciting. I was doing the whole organic, Harrowsmithy thing at the time. I am sure I got the seed from Stokes. They grew very well, and were yummy once I figured out how to roast them! They do grow a bit like potatoes, in that they develop underground, however: they send up flower stalks, which as they mature, bend to the earth (into my paths!!!) and the peanuts grew off of these (underground). The good news is, we don't have any peanut pests up here!! Cheers. |

- My favorite LEGO set of all time would probably have to be the LEGO Star Wars Wookie Catamaran from 2005. I like a lot of themes but I mostly like Star Wars, Collectable Mini-figures , and exclusive sets. (Grand Emporium and Fire Brigade) My very first LEGO set was the Mickey Mouse Fishing Adventure in 2000. Though my favorite first set was the original LEGO Star Wars Clone Turbo Tank. I am active in many other LEGO communities, like Eurobricks and Cuusoo.

With the not so happy mother's day threads right now I thought I would post my happy mother's day.
The kids are supposed to be with BM this weekend so the kids and DH got together and decided that yestureday should be my mother's day. I got a football jersey from the kids and DH. I was super excited. We are big football junkies here and everyone had a jersey except me. So, that was nice. All of the kids made me these really amazing cards full of color and stickers :-) My younger ss wrote a really touching message that almost brought a tear. He wrote I am so happy you are in my life and I know that I can trust that you will always be there for me no matter what. It was sweet. Happy mothers day to all the moms and smoms here and I hope yours is as lovely !!! |

NASHIK: A newly formed party has floated the idea of introducing a local train service within Nashik city.
Santosh Gosavi, secretary, Janrajya Aghadi, told TOI, "The local train service within the city will be one of the major issues on our agenda for the ensuing elections to the Nashik Municipal Corporation. Looking at the population growth, a local train service is needed for Nashik and canals across the city can be utilized for the project." Gosavi added that his party would make efforts to highlight the city's needs and convince the government to take appropriate decisions.
Areas on the outskirts of Nashik city are developing at a fast pace and the city bus service is not efficient enough to cater to the residents of these areas. Besides, the frequency of city buses is more on specific routes. The local train service, as proposed by Janrajya Aghadi, will connect the outlying areas as well.
"The other issues on the agenda will include Nashik's development, employment generation and making efforts to bring large industrial projects to the city," Gosavi added.
"We will contest elections to the NMC on our own and will not form an alliance with any other party. Of the total 122 seats, we will contest 80 seats. We have already announced the first list of 7 candidates. The list of the rest of the party candidates for the NMC elections is to be announced in a day or two."
Janrajya Aghadi was recently established by Apoorva Hirey, who hails from a political family based in Malegaon. His father, Prashant Hirey, is with the NCP, while his grandmother, Pushpatai Hirey, is a former minister and a protege of Sharad Pawar. The Hireys are considered one of the most influential families in Nashik district.
. Apoorva is from a political family based in Malegaon- the Hireys. His father, Prashant Hirey, is with the NCP, while grand-mother Pushpatai Hirey is a former minister and a protege of Sharad Pawar. Her husband Vynkatrao was son of educationist Bhausaheb Hirey. The Hireys have been one of the most influential families in Nashik district.

Authoria, Inc., the leader in integrated talent management solutions, today announced the results of a survey that highlights a significant shift in the way businesses are evaluating the hiring process. The survey identifies an overwhelming need to augment time- and cost-based measures of recruiting effectiveness with metrics that evaluate the "quality of hire" and fit within the organization.
Sixty-seven percent of respondents to the Authoria survey cited dissatisfaction with how their organization evaluates quality of hire, and 69 percent identified it as a business imperative to improve. Among those who indicated a timeframe, 82 percent said improvement in this key measure should happen within the next 12 months.
"Traditionally, the recruiting function has been judged in terms of time-to-fill and cost-per-hire metrics," said Authoria Chairman and CEO Tod Loofbourrow. "But employers increasingly realize that it's essential to track and measure the dimension of quality, through metrics such as the satisfaction of hiring managers with new hires and the extent to which candidates in the recruiting pipeline match the requirements of a job requisition. In light of the positive impact that high-quality hires can have on bottom-line results, and the prohibitive cost of bad hires, measuring quality in the recruiting process is rightly becoming a priority for forward-thinking organizations."
"Authoria's survey confirms the sense of urgency that employers have about tracking and measuring new-hire quality," said Nick Burkholder, founder of Staffing.org and president of OnPerformance, Inc. "As the annual Staffing.org 'Recruiting Metrics and Performance Benchmark Report' has shown, the ability to track and measure quality of hire has become a dividing line, between organizations that maximize the value of recruiting and those that don't."
Respondents to the Authoria survey also identified a significant barrier to more effective hiring: 60 percent graded the collaboration between their hiring managers and recruiters as less than effective. The benefits of better collaboration between these two roles include higher-quality candidates, delivery of more "best fit" talent to the organization, and greater overall satisfaction with the recruiting process.
Loofbourrow continued, "The recognition that an organization's talent is a source of competitive advantage has led to a new understanding of the challenge of managing that talent. Instead of merely automating processes such as recruiting, performance management, and compensation, the executives who responded to this survey are clearly looking to their talent-management systems to provide granular insight into the ability of their workforce to meet business objectives, and measurements of quality that enable them to improve individual and organizational performance."
The Authoria survey, conducted in August 2006, compiled responses from 150 human-resources executives at U.S.-based corporations. Twenty-three percent of respondents were from companies with 10,000 employees or more, and 56 percent were from companies with 1,000 employees or more.

I learned a valuable lesson this year. I planted four hardy water lilies (two red, one white and one blue) in my top pond five years ago, and ignored them. Last summer when I posted pics someone made the remark when the pads stand up over the water they are overcrowded, and needed to be "thinned out". I didn't want to thin them out last year because I was afraid of disturbing my tadpoles and frogs. I think the severe winter claimed most of my adult frogs. I haven't seen any, but still have tadpoles. Well Friday it was in the 80's when I got home from work so I donned my shorts and climbed into the top pond. I could hardly get my feet to break through the tangle of roots and pads. Once I was able to break through I discovered I had one huge clump of lilies. The entire clump measured 4 ft. long by 3 ft. wide. I couldn't lift the darn thing. I pulled up the edges of the clump and broke or cut off a little at a time (using a hacksaw blade). Then I threw them over the edges onto the ground. Once I got the clumps down to manageable size I lifted the entire root mass over the edge and placed it in the wheel barrow. Wheeled them over to the grass and proceeded to cut through them with the hacksaw blade. The baskets I planted them in were embedded in the roots and the tubers had broken through the baskets. The roots had traveled from one basket to the next. I had to cut the baskets from the roots to free them. This took approximately two hours. By the time I was done my hands were pitch black, and my back was broken. Needless to say I have lots of extra lilies that I placed into my extra stock tank and tub. If anyone in the Cleveland area has tropicals (plants or lilies) they would like to swap for hardy lilies please send me an e-mail.
From over crowded: To all cleaned up: My excess: Yesterday I took six of the largest roots (pads and all). Planted them in new baskets, fertilized them and placed them into my large pond. (my vision of my pond is to have it one day look like a Monet painting). It took me all morning. I tied the baskets to a rope anchored to the pond edge, and lowered them down. This way I can pull them up every spring to divide them. My reward for my weekend of hard work was to go to the zoo with my , daughter, s-i-l and 8 mo. old granddaughter. Had a wonderful time, but couldn't wait to get home to enjoy the rewards of my hard work. (Before I left several of the pads that were standing up above the water had already settled on the pond surface). I ran to the backyard after they dropped me off (in the pouring rain). AAAAACCCCHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! What is this? My koi swam to the edges of the pond waiting for food with their sweet innocent faces asking "Monet! Who!" All my backbreaking work……….all my visions……………floating on the pond surface like the dead leaves of fall. Nice big, huge rootballs and tubers spread like floating logs waiting to be sucked into the skimmer. Beautiful 3-4 inch lilie pads shredded like cheese. How can you still be hungry after consuming mass quantities of lilie roots? Was planning on taking pics when I returned from the zoo. Didn't have a chance. Surprise mom. Look what we did. Aren't your proud of us. Yes, little ones. You will now get your orange segments and zucchini while mom nets out all your help. I'll bet it took me longer to try to make my vision come alive, than it did for your little mouths to undo it. Jenny |

hardin: Thanks for the kind words. I will never let my lilies go for over a year now that I know what I know. How's that song go "If I knew then what I know now...." lol Sandy: I knew better, but thought I could outsmart the koi. Some of those root balls were more than 1 ft wide. They were so heavy I could hardly lift them. I figured six large root balls at least one would have a chance. I have six large koi and they must have each picked one to tear up. Sort of like a dog with a new chew toy. If I could only train them to jump through hoops I could charge a lot for admission and become a millionaire. lol Lisa: Little rascals is too polite. Oh well, what can I do, I haven't seen the little stinkers all winter so they probably could come out of the pond and eat the plants growing around the edges and I would still love them. Don't think my pond will ever clear up now. After digging around in the top pond and now them tearing everything up.......oh well! that's ponding for ya. Looking forward to Friday. Of course it's supposed to rain. I must bring it with me. lol Jenny |

MADISON, Wis.–Spectrum Brands cut down on its first-quarter net loss from $60.2 million in its last fiscal year to $19.8 million this year, helped by the addition of the Russell Hobbs housewares brands and by a strong performance from its personal-care products.
The company's net sales jumped by 45.5 percent to $861.1 million, a new record for quarterly sales for Spectrum. The merger with Russell Hobbs (formerly Salton Inc.), which was finalized last June 16, brought the George Foreman, Littermaid, Farberware and Toastmaster brands, among others, into the Spectrum fold. In addition, global net sales in personal-care products, among them the Remington brand of shavers, increased by 10.3 percent in the quarter.
The gain in sales also provided a boost to Spectrum's first-quarter gross margin, which gained 358 basis points to finish at 34.8 percent. While selling, general and administrative expenses on a dollar basis rose 32 percent in the quarter, they also fell by 235 basis points as a percentage of net sales to 23.3 percent.
Commenting on the "solid start" to the company's fiscal year 2011, David Lumley, Spectrum's chief executive officer, said the company's first-quarter results "speak to the continuing success we are having with our Spectrum Value Model of enhancing retailer margins, introducing new products and product-line extensions, and aggressive, long-term cost improvement."

If you've got a 1:1 iPad classroom or have at least one iPad being used by students, then you need an acceptable use policy. What might that entail, you ask? Well I'm so pleased you ask! Basically, it's an agreement by the user (students, teachers, admins, whoever) to handle the iPad with care and return it just like they found it. Simple as that.
Lucky for you, there's a printable PDF available here and embedded below that enumerates the various ways someone should use the iPad. It is a pretty general acceptable use policy for iPads and seems (to me at least) that it'd be perfect for a K-12 classroom. For example, the users of an iPad agree to have an adult plug in the iPad if the battery is dead. I don't think that would need to be included in a higher ed policy. But what do I know?
This policy is made just for iPads but there are printable policy handouts available here for iPads owned by students, iPads owned by schools, iPods, and other devices. Click here to view all the acceptable use policies in Google Drive. There are editable policies also available on Teachers Pay Teachers here for $1.00 too!

My practice includes Acupuncture, Cranio-sacral Therapy, Naturopathy, Spinal Manipulation, Biodynamic Massage, Deep Tissue Massage and I often use a blend of these approaches. I am also a UKCP registered Psychotherapist.
I originally trained in osteopathy (though I do not use the title Osteopath) and these skills are integrated, along with the above, into an eclectic approach that I call Integrative Body Therapy. I treat people with all manner of back pains and other physical complaints, as well as people who wish to have psychotherapy.
The body-mind is the storehouse of all our experiences, current emotions and thoughts, which are contained as tissue memory. My healing approach embraces this fundamental principle whether I'm using bodywork skills or psychotherapy. Working in this way facilitates the integration of body, mind and emotions, which is our natural state.

Fitch affirms European Union AAA rating
Fitch Ratings has affirmed the European Union's AAA issuer default rating with a stable outlook, based on the support of the economic bloc's 27 member states.
The rating agency says despite rating downgrades for some members in the recent past, nine were still AAA-rated at the end of March.
The nine AAA-rated countries constituted 66% of gross national income-based contributions to the European Union's budget.
The agency also highlighted the "highly conservative and prudential rules" set up for their lending and borrowing activities.
However, the agency says it would review the European Union's ratings if the UK and France were to have their AAA ratings downgraded.

PORTLAND, Oct 22, 2012 -- Agriculture Under Secretary for Rural Development Dallas Tonsager recently announced funding to expand access to broadband and telecommunications services in rural America. The announcement includes a $2.8 million loan to Monitor Cooperative Telephone Company (MCTC) in Woodburn, Oregon.
"USDA and the Obama administration continue to work to ensure that rural residents have access to expanded educational, health care, business and social opportunities through robust broadband and telecommunication services, " Tonsager said. "These funds will help modernize communications service and delivery for rural businesses and residential customers."
MCTC is one of six telecommunications companies receiving loans to finance the improvement, expansion, construction, acquisition, and operation of telephone lines, facilities, or systems to furnish and improve telecommunications service in rural areas. The $2,865,000 loan will help MCTC complete the installation of fiber-to-premises facilities capable of high bandwidth broadband services. The project, which is expected to be complete by 2015, will provide the next generation of technology to approximately 600 rural residents and businesses in the cooperative's service area.
"The ability to connect our members directly to fiber will provide enormous improvements in their bandwidth, allowing them to take full advantage of the latest innovations, technologies, and capabilities to connect in our global marketplace today and in the future. With the regulatory uncertainty that small, rural companies are faced with, Monitor Cooperative Telephone Company is fortunate to have received this level of support from USDA," said MCTC General Manager Geri Fraijo.
Tonsager noted that in the recently completed fiscal year, USDA Rural Development funded over $170 million in rural telecommunications projects nationwide to expand rural access to educational, health care, business and social services.
With the current announcement, USDA Rural Development is funding 24 projects through several loan and grant programs administered by the Rural Utilities Service (RUS); Broadband, Telecommunications loans, the Community Connect grant program, and the Public Television Digital Transition grant.
Click here for a complete list of organizations that will receive funding, which is contingent upon the recipient meeting the terms of the loan or grant agreement.
For other examples of USDA investments in rural communities, please visit Rural Development's new interactive web map at http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/RDSuccessStories.html. The map features program funding and success stories for fiscal years 2009-2011.
President Obama's plan for rural America has brought about historic investment and resulted in stronger rural communities. Under the President's leadership, these investments in housing, community facilities, businesses and infrastructure have empowered rural America to continue leading the way – strengthening America's economy, small towns and rural communities. USDA's investments in rural communities support the rural way of life that stands as the backbone of our American values. President Obama and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack are committed to a smarter use of Federal resources to foster sustainable economic prosperity and ensure the government is a strong partner for businesses, entrepreneurs and working families in rural communities.
USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has an active portfolio of more than $174 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.
USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

What can I expect?
Long days!! The working day typically starts at 6.30am and finishes around 12 hours later with breaks for breakfast and lunch. Interns are expected to work five days per week.
The ALERT Animal Management Program focuses on the day to day welfare, care and management of the lions in stage one of the African Lion Rehabilitation & Release into the Wild Program. Throughout their stay interns will be shadowing and assisting the projects' Lions Managers in all aspects of their work.
What will I be doing?
You will be involved in all aspects of looking after the lions in our care that could include...
Feeding - Ensuring the lions are fed the correct weight of meat on their feed days. This involves weighing the meat and confirming that each lion gets the correct amount. On days where there is a delivery of food, interns will be asked to over-see the weighing-in of the meat and log details into the Meat Preparation book. Interns should be prepared for the fact that live feed such as cow and donkey are often brought in for humane slaughter and will be fed to the lions. For bigger groups of lions these animals feeds may be given as a whole carcass.
Behavioural Enrichment - Providing the lions with opportunities that promote species specific behaviours to assist their development. This may include creating toys from natural materials to encourage stalking and chasing.
Enclosure Cleaning - Cleaning is carried out daily. Faeces and leftover bones are collected and disposed of. All water baths are emptied, scrubbed and re-filled to allow the lions access to fresh water.
Enclosure Maintenance - The condition of lion enclosures is monitored constantly and interns are asked to carry out work, including essential boundary repairs, to the highest standards.
De-Ticking and De-Worming - This is managed on a regular basis. Since ticks attach themselves to any part of the lion and can easily spread disease, they need to be kept under control. It is for the same reason the lions are also de-wormed.
Computer Work - A lot of intern work is also computer based. You will be asked to regularly update the lion's profiles and descriptions. This will include taking and attaching up to date pictures of each lion, documenting health issues such as when they were de-wormed, de-ticked and vaccinated or any injuries they may have sustained along with pictures of such injuries. Stage status, hunting, mating and breeding data will also need to be updated regularly on each profile.
Veterinary Treatment – Should one of the lions become injured or sick, interns will assist the Lions Manager in treating the injury if it is minor enough and not involve the need for a Veterinary consult. If a vet is called in to assist, you may have the opportunity to help them during any treatment.
At Antelope Park interns will also be involved in caring for the Park's resident elephants, horses, donkeys and mules.
What are we looking for?
When choosing an Animal Management intern we are ideally looking for a post-graduate who has studied animal care, behaviour, management, etc, although we are able to accept sufficiently motivated current students in selected project locations.
To be considered for an internship, you must clearly have an interest in animals/wildlife and their conservation. Experience is important as well, whether it be caring for your own pets, or working / volunteering at a veterinary practice, zoo or animal sanctuary (not necessarily with big cats).
On a personal level, initiative and a 'go to' attitude are a must! Our Lions Managers have busy schedules and are looking for interns who are reliable and can do a good job under minimum supervision. You will need to be able to think on your feet and learn to expect the unexpected.
Click on these links for more information on the locations currently available:
Program fees for arrivals before 31st December 2015 are GB£ 1695 / US$ 2970 per four weeks with a minimum stay of eight weeks.
Your fee includes collection from the nearest airport to the project site, shared accommodation, three meals per day and memories to last a lifetime!. Invoice amount is charged on a per day basis.
If you wish to intern with ALERT you will need to obtain a Police Check. As an intern, you may be working closely with children or vulnerable adults to some extent during your stay; therefore it is our responsibility to ensure that these people are adequately safeguarded. For applicants from the UK and USA we will arrange these checks for you, the cost for such being added to your invoice and payable along with your deposit. The cost is £20.00 for UK applicants and $30.00 for those from the USA. For applicants from all other countries we will provide you information to assist you in obtaining a police report. All interns on all programs are required to undertake a police check before the internship commences.
To assess your suitability for this program, please read the What Are We Looking For? section of your chosen internship before submitting your application. The minimum age for this program is 21 years.
Your application should be sent to email@example.com and accompanied by:
- A cover letter detailing your motivation for applying and the skills and experience you hope to bring to bear whilst with us;
- A copy of your curriculum vitae;
- A letter of reference from an appropriate academic or business source that confirms your experience
- First choice of project location.
Your application will be reviewed within one week of receipt. Only candidates with skills appropriate to their chosen internship will be considered. Successful candidates will be offered a placement at a location most appropriate for their skills and experience to ensure that both the intern and the project gain the maximum from the program. Additional references may be requested. We regret that not all applications will be accepted and no appeals will be considered.
Intern Testimonials
Emma Townson worked at our Livingstone project with Lion's Manager, Cara Watts. A vet nurse by trade, Emma was based at Lion Encounter for two months.
"I interned with ALERT because of the hands on experience I was promised. The program was NOT a disappointment and I have gained the BEST experience anyone could ask for that a book or classroom could never achieve. Trying to describe what I did there is difficult to express in words. It was fantastic, memorable, challenging and emotional; it tested my limits. I learned to adapt and act in a second and acquired a true feel of what this kind of career would be like in a conservation program. The super nice and caring staff ensure that you are kept busy, but make sure you are enjoying your time. I gained knowledge in managing people and lion welfare and behavior. I thank you with the utmost gratitude."

Released this week: Eclipse PDT 1.0 and YUI 2.3.1
posted September 20th, 2007 at 5:50 pm by chadThe PHP Developer Tools Project reached a major milestone this week with the version 1.0 release of PDT. I had recently installed the all-in-one Europa/PDT release and received errors when attempting to update via the Update Manager—something about being unable to unzip a package. Today, however, everything seems fine and when I reviewed Help -> Software Updates -> Manage Configuration -> PDT Feature, it showed version 1.0 as installed.
Getting Started with Eclipse PHP Development Tools (PDT)
Another MySQL Backup Script
posted December 24th, 2006 at 7:50 am by chadI've been meaning to backup my sites' databases for quite some time now. Today I was finally overcome with guilt and the fear of something going horrible wrong, so I finally decided to put a backup script into place. My hosting provider provides backups, and fortunately I've never needed to request a restore. You may ask "Then why are you worried about backups?". The answer is simple—there are some things you should count on in this world–things will go wrong from time to time. Yes, my hosting provider is a reliable and stable company providing a reliable and stable hosting environment, but things can change, and one should always be prepared.
posted July 15th, 2005 at 3:33 pm by chadI'm going into the last day of a week long XML course at work. The class has been great, despite being completely Microsoft-centric. Despite this, the instructor has done a good job of covering the topics and inspiring many possible projects in my head. Most of these projects are for the day job and will focus mainly on XSL transformations of training manuals.
So, my challenge was to get an XSL parser that works with PHP. A buddy at work informed me that I'd need Sablotron to do XSL with PHP.
A feast for thought
posted April 29th, 2005 at 9:06 am by chadIn years past we've been fortunate to have had Jeffrey Veen, Molly Holzchlag, Jeff Zeldman, Eric Meyer, Carrie Bickner, Vincent Flanders, and Bebo White among many others discuss how to's and the big ideas that spark great disucussions and new goals.... In Doug's place we had a free-form moderated panel that included David Sklar, Bebo White, Michael Angeles, and Allan Marcus.

The 18 LTS is a whole other breed of bay boat.
It takes the features, ride and versatility of larger craft and perfectly melds them with the maneuverability and shallow draft of an inshore boat. The patented Rapid Planing System not only pushes the 18 LTS up on plane in record time, but it can do it in only 24" (60.96 cm) of water! All with less horsepower! And for fishing versatility, no other boat even compares. Generous bow and stern platforms are perfect for sight casting. If you prefer to stalk your fish through extreme shallows, you can get the optional poling platform, push pole and holders.
For even more big-boat performance options, optional trim tabs, jack plates and hydraulic steering are ready to take your bay fishing trip to the max. However you choose to outfit your 18 LTS, this light tackle skiff is built to impress with its smooth ride, long list of features and all-around versatility.

Remember those pink and yellow fabrics I bought last week? I am making a small 12-inch quilt with them and here is the first stage. The name of the quilt is Watermelon Summer and if today's temperature is any indication, that is exactly what we will be having once summer arrives this year. It's 38 degrees at my house right now. More tomorrow...

Raymun Redbeard
this wiki
Raymun Redbeard is a character appearing only in the "Histories & Lore: The Night's Watch" featurette. He was a King-Beyond-the-Wall of the Free Folk.
Raymun Redbeard led an invasion of the North but was defeated by the combined efforts of House Stark and the Night's Watch.[1]
In the booksEdit
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Raymun Redbeard was King-Beyond-the-Wall in the time of Lord William Stark, the grandfather of Lord Rickard Stark. Having seen the decline of the Night's Watch under the leadership of Lord Commander Jack Musgood, Raymun and his raiders crossed over the Wall and invaded the North. Eventually, the invading force engaged in battle against the Northerners led by William Stark and Lord Harmond of House Umber, "the Drunken Giant". Lord William was slain and his younger brother, Artos Stark, "the Implacable", slew Raymun. Raymun's younger brother fled back beyond the Wall and became known as "the Red Raven", for having fled from battle, "Red" for the color of his hair and "Raven" because it rhymed with "craven".
The Night's Watch arrived too late to fight so Artos, grieving overt the headless corpse of his brother, assigned them the shameful task of burying the dead. Lord Commander Musgood was forever after known as "Sleepy Jack".
The Wildling raider Gerrick Kingsblood boasts direct descent from Raymun Redbeard but is actually descended from the Red Raven, a fact most Free Folk are aware of and use to disparage him.
