The Exercise–Menopause Connection
Fitness Handout:
Are you in menopause? Then you're probably familiar with the challenges that many menopausal women experience: hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, irritability and depression. These symptoms—alone or combined—can compromise a woman's quality of life. Even worse, menopausal symptoms can create a domino effect. For example, night sweats can cause sleep problems that lead to chronic sleep deficits, which in turn may significantly affect mood, anxiety levels, alertness and mental acuity.
The good news is that exercise can help. Maria Luque, PhD, MS, CHES, an ACE-certified personal trainer and health sciences professor at Trident University International, explores how exercise impacts menopausal women.
Benefits of Exercise
It is widely accepted that physical activity yields health benefits and is an effective way to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, anxiety and depression. Plus, there is compelling evidence that exercise can benefit middle-aged women by improving brain function, increasing functional capacities like muscular strength, and lessening anxiety and depression.
Research specifically done on menopausal women has found that
- moderate cardiovascular exercise decreased hot flashes 24 hours after exercise (Elavsky et al. 2012);
- regular moderate-intensity physical activity (60 minutes/day) had a favorable effect on menopause symptoms and quality of life (Coutinho de Azevedo Guimarães & Baptista 2011);
- resistance and aerobic exercise were found to have a positive impact on menopausal symptoms, psychological health, depression and quality of life (Ağıl et al. 2010); and
- women with healthy body mass index (height-to-weight ratio) scores reported lower levels of vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweats. Data suggested a positive association among somatic/psychological dimensions, health-related quality of life and regular exercise (Daley et al. 2007).
Moderation Is the Key
Recent research results indicate that moderate—rather than vigorous—physical activity has the most positive effect on menopause symptoms and menopausal quality of life (MENQOL). One study revealed that women who participated in moderate-intensity physical activity reported higher MENQOL and a lower total number of symptoms than women who engaged in either low- or high-intensity physical activity (Luque 2011). Women with low physical activity levels reported the highest frequency of symptoms and the greatest discomfort.
Keep Exercising
Studies strongly suggest that program duration also plays a key role in the success of physical activity. For example, Coutinho de Azevedo Guimarães and Baptista (2011) concluded that exercise—specifically exercise with a predominantly cardiovascular component that lasted 6 months—was associated with higher quality of life in middle-aged women.
Although short-term exercise programs have been successful in reducing menopausal symptoms and improving overall health, most studies agree that long-term physical activity lasting at least 12 weeks appears to have the greatest effect on quality of life.

Sidebar: Exercise Tips for Menopausal Women
- Keep exercise level at a moderate intensity (target heart rate = 50%-70% or 4-8 MET).
- Keep body temperature at your comfort level to avoid increase in vasomotor symptoms such a hot flashes and night sweats.
- Add cardiovascular, Pilates and/or meditation components to improve quality of life.
- Add resistance training and Pilates to increase bone mineral density and help maintain a healthy BMI.
- Strive to exercise 60 minutes a day for a minimum of 12 weeks to garner the best results.

Yesterday a federal judge ruled that banning gays from the military is unconstitutional under the first and fifth amendments. President Obama had campaigned on repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and lifting the gay ban, but he stayed silent on a plan for repeal throughout the first year of his presidency. Then, Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-Pa) started working to get the votes for repeal himself. When he was one vote shy of passing complete repeal with a non-discrimination policy, the President decided to get involved.
Now, we have a bill that sucks.
The current bill is waiting for the Senate to take it up, hopefully before the election. Otherwise, it may not even get passed and we will be stuck with the policy until we get 60 70 75 votes – whatever the new bar will be for getting things through the Senate. Democrats aren't getting this done, and yesterday, the GOP quite possibly ended the policy.
And I'm just stunned.
It wasn't enough to just stay silent on the California and Maine ballot initiatives, and it wasn't enough to stay silent on the Prop. 8 trial while the other side was using the President and Democrats' words against those fighting for equality. It wasn't enough to have David Axelrod go on TV and say that the President still doesn't support same-sex marriage, after a Reagan and Bush-appointed judge ruled that ban unconstitutional. It wasn't enough to just sit idly by while half the GOP is making their support for same-sex marriage known and not only that, but they're working with AFER and other groups to stop the government punishment of banning marriage for gays.
No, none of that made the Democrats stop and think that maybe they should say something. Now, the Log Cabin Republicans may have just overturned the ban on gays in the military. So, I ask again, Democrats, what are you doing? . . .
Last I checked, there's an election coming up. Democrats should maybe consider the possibility that it looks quite bad to let Republicans beat you on LGBT issues, of all things, given their history of outright hostility and hatred toward the LGBT community. This is a party that was still pushing statewide same sex marriage bans just four short years ago. Are you really going to hand gay rights victories over to them?
Someone needs to step up and say something. I want the President to write an amicus brief in the Prop. 8 trial. Even if he stubbornly won't change his position on same sex marriage, he should still tell the Court that he opposes discriminatory bans like the one in California. Democrats need to be out there talking about all of these cases. In the past few months, bans on same sex marriage were ruled unconstitutional, the Defense of Marriage Act was ruled unconstitutional and now Don't Ask, Don't Tell and the ban on gays in the military have been ruled unconstitutional. And not a peep from the Democratic Party on this.
Where are you? Why aren't you saying anything? Why aren't you taking the fight to the GOP? Why aren't you countering their insane attempts to woo gay voter by passing pro-gay legislation and watching as they vote against it? You could win this fight if you did that. You could show that this is just a strategy for them – they hate gay people, they just see that it's not longer a viable electoral strategy to keep hating us so openly. Democrats, for all their faults, don't hate us. But sometimes it sure as hell seems like it when they pretend we don't even exist.
What are they trying to accomplish with this strategy? Don't they know how to fight?

Heavy duty wet saw tile cutter which cuts up to a maximum of 25mm thick tiles.
Heavy duty wet saw tile cutter which cuts up to a maximum of 25mm thick tiles.
"I only visited the store to buy tile cutting jig saw blades (I never have much success with these for cutting shapes as they wear very quickly and is a laboursome way of cutting) when I stumbled across this product and immediately thought that the price wasn't too bad at all. I'd always wanted an electric cutter but I thought that I didn't really do enough tiling to warrant owning one. Now I wish I had bought one years ago! So, yesterday, I was cutting shapes to fit around sockets with the jig saw / nippers...today I was cutting them with the new electric cutter! It made seriously light work of the task. I even got to cut very narrow 'slithers' that even a beam cutter wouldn't entertain. The product was set up in minutes - water filled - and ready to go. There's plenty of power for conventional ceramic tiles too, although can't comment on more difficult / thicker materials but I'm sure it would cope fine. I think as long as you look after the machine and be patient with some of the drawbacks, i.e plastic body, poorly designed water tray access (could do with a drain plug??) and clean the machine properly after each use, then I'm sure it will last quite a long time. All in all, a pretty decent bit of kit for the money. Recommended, especially for capable DIY'ers. Tradesman might turn their noses up at this one though!"
"Bought this after a manual cutter proved useless at cutting tiles almost 10mm thick. Tiled an entire 10ftx5ft bathroom with 300x400mm tiles and it's still going strong! Only down sides are it IS very noisy so wear ear protectors. The "no mess water recirculation" as advertised is barely noticable so put down a few old towels. Apart from that I can't complain - it will probably be able to cope with a tiled splashback for the kitchen using he original blade."
"i bought this tile cutter when my old one packed up and found it more than capable and a lot quieter than my old one. i used it to cut my metro wall tiles which are 6mm thick and it cut them ok, chipped a few on the glaze but would expect that though from a cutting wheel. also cut my floor tiles which are compressed marble 18mm thick and went through these fine.great little cutter"
"I've always hated tiling because it seems like such hard work and, in my experience, never looks as nice as it should...I decided to tile the whole bathroom for the mrs and was dreading it...i thought I'd try this tile saw to see if it made alot of difference and i wasn't disappointed...quite the opposite...i actually enjoyed doing the job...tried cutting the tiles into the window reccesses and they turned out perfect...so thought I'd give the step (pipe housing) which has a 45 degree angle a go...and again it turned out perfect... I was using it on antalia 10mm ceramic tiles and border and had no chips...it was brilliant...You just need to make sure you keep topping up the water reservoir, i did it every 5/6 cuts...and don't push to hard or fast, you don't need to because it's like a knife through butter..."

Foreign Policy Journal
Just after September 11th 2001, many governments began investigations into possible insider trading related to the terrorist attacks of that day. Such investigations were initiated by the governments of Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Monte Carlo, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the United States, and others. Although the investigators were clearly concerned about insider trading, and considerable evidence did exist, none of the investigations resulted in a single indictment. That's because the people identified as having been involved in the suspicious trades were seen as unlikely to have been associated with those alleged to have committed the 9/11 crimes.
This is an example of the circular logic often used by those who created the official explanations for 9/11. The reasoning goes like this: if we assume that we know who the perpetrators were (i.e. the popular version of "al Qaeda") and those who were involved in the trades did not appear to be connected to those assumed perpetrators, then insider trading did not occur.
That's basically what the 9/11 Commission told us. The Commission concluded that "exhaustive investigations" by the SEC and the FBI "uncovered no evidence that anyone with advance knowledge of the attacks profited through securities transactions." What they meant was that someone did profit through securities transactions but, based on the Commission's assumptions of guilt, those who profited were not associated with those who were guilty of conducting the attacks. In a footnote, the Commission report acknowledged "highly suspicious trading on its face," but said that this trading on United Airlines was traced back to "A single U.S.-based institutional investor with no conceivable ties to al Qaeda." 1
With respect to insider trading, or what is more technically called informed trading, the Commission report was itself suspect for several reasons.…

The Post-9/11 World Is A Detriment To Humanity
* We are fighting illegal preemptive wars against three countries. Afghanistan,
Iraq, and Pakistan. The resulting wars have caused well over 1,000,000 casualties.
Preemptive war is illegal according to the Nuremberg Charter, and the United
Nations charter. These wars are destabilizing the entire Middle East, and causing
anti-American sentiment throughout the world.
* In America, the Constitution is being forgotten with the passage of bills
like the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the John Warner National
Defense Authorization Act. Americans are forced to wonder if their conversations
are being monitored through the use of illegal wiretapping. The freedom of the
press, and the right to peacefully assemble is being discarded.
* Hatred towards Muslims and Jews is being fueled.
* Executive Power within the United States is being expanded to the point of
near-dictatorship, and accountability for the actions of the Executive, and
other members of Government is non-existent.
* A constant state of fear is the norm.
* Billions upon billions are being spent on the previously mentioned wars,
and things that are needed for the people are being forgotten about.

TSA and America's Zero Risk Culture
November 16, 2010
By Richard Forno
The lede on the DRUDGEREPORT most of Monday showed a Catholic nun being patted down at an airport security checkpoint, with the caption starkly declaring that
He's right.
Ten years after 9/11, Americans who fly are facing a Faustian choice between subjecting themselves to a virtual (and potentially medically damaging) strip search conducted in questionable machines run by federal employees or a psychologically damaging pat-down of their bodies. Osama bin Ladin must be giggling himself silly this week.
But what should we expect in a society that requires adults to wear bicycle helmets while pedaling in the park, provides disclaimers of liability on TV advertisements, or prints warnings on fast-food coffee cups? The name of the game is zero risk. Not risk mitigation, or accepting responsibility for one's actions, but risk aversion. It's a failure to acknowledge that we can't protect against everything bad that can happen to us, so we must protect against everything we think might — might — be harmful at some point.
It's living in fear.
TSA has established itself as the lead federal agency charged with perpetuating this risk-averse culture at airports around the country. The proof is evident over the past ten years: Because of the Shoebomber, we have to remove our shoes. Thanks to the Christmas Crotchbomber, we are subjected to invasive scanning or government-mandated molestation. Because there's a potential for explosives in liquid or gel… Continue reading
Ex-Guantánamo inmate accused of role in US embassy attacks acquitted
on all but one of 286 charges at civilian trial.

Ghailani was arrested in Pakistan in 2004 and transferred to the US-run Guantánamo
Bay prison in 2006 [AFP]
The first former Guantánamo detainee to be tried in a civilian court has been
found not guilty on all but one of the 286 charges in the 1998 bombings of two
US embassies in Africa.
A federal jury handed down the verdict on Wednesday to Ahmed Ghailani, a Tanzanian
national who had been accused of conspiring in the car bomb attacks in Kenya
and Tanzania that killed 224 people.
The jury found him guilty of one charge of conspiracy to damage or destroy
US property by means of an explosive device.
Ghailani was cleared of 276 murder and attempted murder counts, along with
five other conspiracy charges.
However, he faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years after his conspiracy

Colorado Democrats Call for New 9/11 Investigation: An Insider Tells Us How They Did It
It's true! The Democratic Platform for the state of Colorado is the first major party in the US to adopt a resolution for a new investigation into the official story of the events surrounding 9/11.
It started in 2004 when I, a complete novice in political processes, decided to participate in my precinct caucus in order to try to make a difference here in Colorado.1 The night before, I learned that the caucus is also a time to bring policy resolutions for consideration. Hurriedly, I wrote a resolution for a new, independent investigation into 9/11, figuring that here is an opportunity, at least, to educate a few more people. To my surprise, my precinct caucus neighbors voted for it!
The next step was to get it passed at the county level: the Denver County Assembly and Convention. To do this, I needed to get 10% of the attendees to sign a petition — another chance to educate more people! I needed 200 signatures, which I managed to get with the spontaneous help of a couple of other 9/11 truth activists. Now I could present this resolution to the Assembly, at the end of a long hard day, which wound up being attended by about 100 of the most serious participants.
Managing to transcend my considerable stage fright, and fearing I might be tarred and feathered, I read the… Continue reading

Unearths Striking Video/Photo WTC Evidence
by Eli Rika
November 6, 2010
Over the last century, the most astounding historical discoveries of man-made artifacts have often been accomplished by well-funded, highly experienced researchers. From the excavation of King Tut's tomb to the sighting of the sunken Titanic, stunning finds have required immense financial and human resources, as well as the leadership by distinguished. So, how did a mountain of never-before-seen footage used in NIST's World Trade Center investigations get exposed to the light of day last month? Was it the work of a billionaire adventurer? Not quite. You can thank an upstart non-profit, the International Center for 9/11 Studies, whose efforts have at last borne fruit.
The International Center for 9/11 Studies was founded in 2008 by Director James Gourley, a Texas lawyer who began questioning the events of 9/11 after watching a presentation given by David Ray Griffin on C-SPAN.
"I was just floored by what I was hearing," Gourley explained, "and I've been looking into 9/11 ever since then."
In order to encourage a better understanding of the 9/11 attacks and promote scientific study of these tragic events, Gourley assembled a small team of trusted colleagues, which includes physics instructor David Chandler, activist Dr. Graeme MacQueen, and Justin Keogh, the Center's Chief Technical Officer. The Center has partnered with other key researchers in the past, including physicist Steven Jones and chemist Niels Harrit.
Since its inception, the Center has contributed to groundbreaking work… Continue reading
In a recent interview with Iran's Press TV, leading American intellectual and political dissident Noam Chomsky stated that the wars launched in response to the 9/11 attacks are "criminal" and noted that no evidence was provided that al Qaeda was responsible for the attacks.
Chomsky told Press TV: "The explicit and declared motive of the [Afghanistan] war was to compel the Taliban to turn over to the United States, the people who they accused of having been involved in World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist acts. The Taliban… they requested evidence… and the Bush administration refused to provide any. We later discovered one of the reasons why they did not bring evidence: they did not have any."
In the years since 9/11, Chomsky has often been at odds with activists seeking accountability for the attacks, which have been used as justification for an ongoing global "war on terror" and continuing infringement of civil liberties. Chomsky has at times derided the cause and accused 9/11 activists of distracting from more important issues. In 2008, Chomsky added his name to a petition started by 9/11 family members calling for the release of classified documents relating to the 9/11 attacks.

At the 2010 Anarchist Bookfair in London there was a discussion with independent journalist and filmmaker John Pilger (which was recorded — listen below) and one of the questions from the audience was about the attacks on 9/11. The following is a transcript of the question and his reply:
Audience Question: "I would like to ask your views or theory that the US government was complicit in or even perpetrated the attacks on 9/11 to gain support for criminal [inaudible] Afghanistan and Iraq?"
John Pilger: "I think there is a lot of evidence that certain elements in the Bush administration, whether by intent or by or by their own arrogant incompetence, I don't know, let things happen. I think there is enough evidence to …
We know the senior FBI people who gave warnings right throughout 2001. We know about the extraordinary inactivity by the NORAD aircraft on the day of September 11th. We know that Cheney was in charge of the White House on that day.
I think the most plausible is the "let it happen", now at what stage it was let happen, I don't know, I don't know. But certainly that seems to me, the most plausible.
There is no doubt that 9/11 became the opportunity for a new "Cold War" basically, only called the "War on Terror". But beyond that I wouldn't want to … "

A 30 second television spot featuring 9/11 family members and promoting awareness of the destruction of World Trade Center Building 7 has begun airing in New York City. The ad is sponsored by buildingwhat.org and highlights the fact that over 1200 architects and engineers have called for an independent investigation into the events of 9/11.
World Trade Center 7 was the third skyscraper to be completely destroyed on September 11, 2001 — despite not having been hit by an airplane.
The ad began airing on election day and will run through November 10 on 13 channels, including CNN, MSNBC and VH1. NYCCAN, the group who created the ad, estimate that it will be seen by nearly 900,000 viewers. The group plans to commission an opinion poll after the run of the ad and send the results to every City Council member.
"We've been educating the City Council about Building 7 and the need for a new investigation for the past six months," said Bob McIlvaine, father of Bobby McIlvaine and one of the 9/11 family members who appear in the ad. "We are asking them now to do something about it."
Manny Badillo, another family member who appears in the spot, said "For the next two weeks, we the people will see, many for the first time, the demise of the Salomon Brothers building on the day of my uncle's murder. What you witness allows critical thought about details of the crime that we have… Continue reading

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 29, 2010
[Revised November 8, 2010]
The 2010 Colorado Democratic Party platform, approved by the 146 member platform committee states:
"Whereas many disturbing facts were consciously ignored by the 9/11 Commission; Be it resolved, therefore, that the CDP calls for the establishment of a truly independent Grand Jury and public investigation into these and other anomalies in order to find the truth of the September 11, 2001 attacks, so that we have a greater probability of preventing attacks of this nature in the future."
This controversial plank was added to the State Democratic Party Platform after evidence supporting the critical need for a new investigation was presented at several caucuses in 2004, 2008, and 2010.
The citizens who presented arguments for a new investigation at their precinct caucuses are signatories to the Architect and Engineers for 9/11 Truth organization (ae911Truth.org) which calls for a new investigation into the events of September 11, 2001.
The quality of evidence contradicting the official 9/11 story is substantiated in part by the 2010 Platform Committee Chairman Hal Bidlack's statement: "… this platform represents the consensus of the 2010 Platform Committee, guided by the results of county assemblies across our state. The folks who worked tirelessly on the Committee can rightly be proud of their efforts, and deserve our special thanks." (Bidlack's statement can be found on page one of the 2010 platform.)
In the upcoming Colorado election, Green Party U.S. Senatorial candidate Bob Kinsey and District One U.S. Representative candidate… Continue reading
Memoirs reveal former US president gave order to shoot down any hijacked planes before United Airlines flight 93 crashed.
by James Meikle
29 October 2010
George Bush initially believed the only plane not to reach its intended target during the 11 September attacks had been shot down on his orders, according to leaks from the former president's memoir of his two terms in office.
Bush reveals that he gave the order for any further suspected hijacked planes to be shot down after the first aircraft were flown into the World Trade Centre in New York during the 2001 terror attacks.
He at first thought the crash of United Airlines flight 93 in Pennsylvania had resulted from this instruction, although it later emerged that passengers had stormed the cockpit as hijackers flew the plane towards the Capitol building in Washington.
The memoir, Decision Points, is due to be published on 9 November, in the aftermath of the US midterm elections, and Bush is already lined up for interviews on the Oprah Winfrey and NBC Today shows.

November 24, 1020
Fox Business host and Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano revealed yesterday that he doubts the US government's account of the 9/11 attacks. Referring to the rapid, symmetrical destruction of World Trade Center building 7, Napolitano told radio host Alex Jones:
"It's hard for me to believe that it came down by itself… I am gratified to see that people across the board are interested. I think twenty years from now, people will look at 9/11 the way we look at the assassination of JFK today. It couldn't possibly have been done the way the government told us."
Napolitano recently discussed WTC 7 on his "Freedom Watch" program with fellow FOX host Geraldo Rivera and has also hosted Anthony Shaffer to discuss the Able Danger cover up.
The news of Napolitano's 9/11 statements was first reported in a derogatory piece by Media Matters and then picked up by the staunchly anti-9/11 truth Huffington Post — perhaps in an attempt to make FOX look worse. As one commenter on the Huffington Post story noted "What's interesting is that this article centers on a 'FOX Host' and not the families, engineers and architects requesting a new investigation."

To many, the name Kevin Bracken is a new one as regards 9/11 Truth. The reality
is that Kevin has been a champion of the 9/11 Truth cause since 2006 by disseminating
information throughout the Victorian Union Movement and the Maritime Workers
Union of Australia. He has distributed DVD's, shown films and shared information
regularly with his associates and the people of Melbourne and he achieved motions
calling for a new investigation from both the Victorian Trades Hall Council
where he is the President and the Victorian branch of the Maritime Union of
Australia of which he heads as Secretary. Kevin has also attended numerous conferences
on 9/11 and has been the facilitator of such in Melbourne, Australia. Over the
years Kevin and I have developed a close working relationship, both striving
for the truth 9/11 to come out to bring end to the wars and to get our rights
back that have been eroded since 9/11!
This is the motion passed on the 28th of March of 2008 at the VTHC:
… Continue reading"That this meeting of VTHC Executive Council calls for a thorough, independent
enquiry into the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11.
The events of that day have been used to start pre-emptive wars "that
will not end in our lifetime". They have been used to attack civil liberties
and legal principles that have been the cornerstone of civilized communities.
There is an urgent need to reassess the way we view the world after September
11 and we call for proper investigation into the events around that day".
by Shannon Deery, Stephen McMahon
October 20, 2010
"Do you think Kevin Bracken's comments were reasonable?"]
UPDATE 7.51pm: JULIA Gillard has dismissed as "stupid and
wrong" a senior union official's belief that the 9/11 attacks were a conspiracy
but has refused to discipline him.
Audio: Listen to Kevin Bracken on Jon Faine
Faine described the claim as a "nutter theory".
The Federal Opposition seized on the comments in Parliament today, with Victorian
MP Josh Frydenberg asking Ms Gillard what action she would take against Mr Bracken
"to send a message that such remarks are unacceptable", The Australian
"Obviously I don't agree with the remarks, obviously they are stupid
and wrong," Ms Gillard said.
"The Labor Party is a large organisation, people join it as individuals
— we don't dictate what people think."
After being accused by Liberal frontbencher Christopher Pyne of not answering
the question on discipline, Ms Gillard said: "If it is the intention of
the Leader of the Opposition to expel every member who says something stupid,
I'll start sending him a weekly list."
In Victoria, Shadow Attorney General Robert Clarke said Mr Bracken's comments
were a direct insult to Australian soldiers serving in Afghanistan.…

Affordability and convenient location were not the primary reasons that freshman physics major Gabriela Arriaga chose NIU.
It was the opportunity to be involved in research as a freshman through NIU's Research Rookies program that provided the deciding factor.
"The best part about being involved with Research Rookies is being able to get hands-on experience in my major," Arriaga says. "I am enjoying every moment of it!"

Tokyoflash Radiation Level LED Watch Concept: Post-Apocalyptic Timepiece
I can see how this concept watch submitted by a Japanese designer might be considered crass by some, especially in light of the situation in Fukushima. Honestly, when I saw it the first thing that came to my mind was Fallout and the game's Pip-Boy wrist computer. The watch doesn't really measure radiation levels though, the displays are just styled that way.
In keeping with Tokyoflash strict standards of not being practical as a timepiece, the minutes and hours are divided between three displays:
Here's an animated video of the watch:
Judging from the comments on Tokyoflash's website, this would sell well if it was turned into an actual product, although honestly it's a tad too childish for me. At least it's not that hard to read compared to the other watches that Tokyoflash makes.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Toby!
Facts about Toby
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Black & White Or Tuxedo
- Age: Young
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Toby's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, and not good with kids.
Toby is a delightful kitty, very friendly, playful and cuddly. He has extra charm to go with his extra toes! Because he is a polydactyl cat, he will need a little bit of extra nail care, but otherwise needs no special care. He would be a delightful addition to any home who wants a sweet, active cat.
Toby was born around March, 2007. He tested negative for FIV/FeLV, is neutered, current on vaccinations, and microchipped.
Tuxedo Junction Rescue adopts only within the greater Austin area. If you live outside Austin, please use 1800SaveAPet to find a new family member from a sheter or rescue in your area.
Other Pets at TUXEDO JUNCTION RESCUE
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Toby, a AUSTIN Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in AUSTIN, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in AUSTIN.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in AUSTIN 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 AUSTIN 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 Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in AUSTIN paves the way for another one to be saved.

Arkane has teased Dishonored news for tomorrow. The developer tweeted an image today (below), along with a message that simply reads: "News tomorrow."
No further information was divulged, though the developer could be teasing an announcement of one of the two previously announced story-focused Dishonored expansions that will be released in 2013.
The first will focus on Daud, the leader of a legion of supernatural assassins known as The Whalers. It is due out sometime this spring.
In addition, Dishonored parent publisher Zenimax recently trademarked "Void Walker's Arsenal" and "The Brigmore Witches," the latter of which is referenced in a Dishonored in-game book.
Dishonored launched in October and was the United States' fourth-best-selling game of the month. It was also the only non-sequel to make the top-10 chart during the month. The game's first expansion--Dunwall City Trials--launched in December.

The Flashes go to Omaha! Kent St. punches college world series ticket
By Cecilio's Scribe on Jun 12, 2012 with Comments 2
Stony Brook won't be the only Cinderella story at this year's College World Series in Omaha. The Golden Flashes of Kent St. are joining the party too. The crew from the MAC is the first from the conference to make the trip since Eastern Michigan back in 1976, ending a 36-year drought. Their run included an epic 21-inning affair in the Regionals against Kentucky followed by three one-run games against the Oregon Ducks in the Super Regionals.
Finally, last night the Kent St. boys scratched out the deciding game three win in the bottom of the ninth on a bloop single by senior Jimmy Rider that found the Bermuda triangle in shallow left field. The hit plated sophomore Derek Toadvine and ensured the Golden Flashes berth in college baseball's championship.
It may not have been a home run blast, but a walkoff win is a walkoff win. And it's hard to compete with a game-winning hit that sends your team to the College World Series. Listen to the call from the Kent St. broadcast crew (and note video up on YouTube is simply titled "The Play"). Gotta love college sports.
The Flashes go to Omaha! The Flashes go to Omaha!

To all the folks "planning" the college football playoff. PLEASE let it be conference champions only. Do you see what happens when you have to WIN a game to get in?? It's fantastic. If you need more evidence, watch any of the smaller conference basketball championships where only the winner of the conference will get into March Madness. See how those guys react to WINNING a game to get into the playoffs.
Congrats and good luck to Kent State!

Global Relations › Regional approaches › Latin America
The adoption of a regional approach to Latin America in 2001 has enabled the OECD to enhance its co-operation with countries in Latin America beyond Brazil (for which a country-specific programme was launched in 1998).
The proposed activities address policy issues that are best met on a regional level including key policy areas such as agriculture policy reform, anti-corruption and competition policy, corporate governance, education, environmental policies, labour market policies, international tax co-operation, investment policies and statistical research. Efforts are made to keep the work sharply focused on priorities of the region and to co-operate with regional institutions such as the Inter-American Development Bank and UN ECLAC.
Country-specific activities have also emerged within the regional approach, due to strong demand from OECD's Latin American partners. Key outcomes include the OECD Economic Surveys on Chile and Brazil and thematic reviews of specific policy areas such as the Environmental Performance Review of Chile or the Review of Agricultural Policies in Brazil.
Several Latin American countries, in particular Argentina, Brazil and Chile strongly contribute to OECD work in formal OECD bodies and voluntary adhere to the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention. They are also playing an active role in OECD's global policy dialogue by hosting OECD's Global Forums and other regional events such as the annual Latin America Competition Forum.

Privacy Policy
Endangered species and the law
Name: Alicia Furlano Status: Other Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
Why are some endangered species protected by law and some are not?
Different countries have different laws. A species that is protected in one country may not be protected in another. This is a real problem for birds that spend winter is South America and summer in Canada, and fly over the United States in fall and spring. The United Nations tries to get similar laws passed in all countries so that species are protected the same everywhere. Other reasons why some species are not protected is that they may not even have been discovered yet, or there is disagreement over the size of the species' population, or there is no scientific count of the population size.
An example of the first problem is the burning of tropical rainforests, where large pieces of habitat and the species that depend on it may be quickly converted to agricultural land before any scientist has studied the plants and animals that live there. An example of the second problem is the conflict between Norwegian and Russian fisherman over the size of the codfish population (and the size of each other's annual harvest). Even if a species is protected by law, it may not be protected from law-breakers.

While the Waxman-Markey bill is making its way through Congress, the administration has stopped short of endorsing it, although President Obama is calling for a carbon cap-and-trade scheme to be approved, which is part of the bill, to be approved.
However two crucial aspects of the cap-and-trade system are being worked out "behind the scenes", writes the New York Times: the number of free permits that will be given away, and where the money raised from the initial auction of permits, expected to raise about $650bn – will be spent.
Under any sort of cap-and-trade scheme, government sets an overall limit on emissions while allowing companies to trade permits, known as allowances, to pollute. But the House draft does not address two central issues. First, it does not say how many of the allowances the government will give away, if any, and how many it will auction. Democrats from states dependent on coal and manufacturing are asking that a sizable portion of the allowances be granted free, to mitigate the costs of the carbon cap.
Second, the legislation does not say what will be done with the proceeds of any auction of permits, estimated in Mr. Obama's budget proposal to be worth at least $65 billion a year.
