What type of event are you planning?
(Stegostoma fasciatum)
The zebra shark is a common shallow-water species found near coral reefs in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific. It is a nocturnal hunter preying on shrimp, crabs, snails and sea urchins, as well as small fish. The zebra shark can often be seen resting on the bottom. When swimming, it can be easily identified by its color pattern and it long wavy tail fin.
The zebra shark gets its name because, when newly hatched, the young have vertical black and white stripes. The stripes gradually break up into spots as the animal grows. This species is also known as the "Australian leopard shark".
Be sure to look for this beautiful shark in the Ocean Voyager gallery.

Decorating Ideas for Outdoor Spaces
As the weather warms up, spend more time outside in a room created by your own backyard or porch.
Porch Makeover
A few easy and affordable accessories are all you need to turn a basic porch into a comfy sitting area.

White Porch
Comfortable furniture covered in weather-resistant fabric makes this wide front porch feel like an extension of the living room. Mirrors on the wall reflect the trees in the yard, while pale blue paint on the ceiling mimics fair-weather sky.
Keith Scott Morton
Interior Walls with Artwork
Unfinished and whitewashed walls offer a rustic backdrop for a flea-market art collection.
Keith Scott Morton
Decorate with Paint
Paint adds color and protects your floor from the elements. For bare wood, use a primer. If it's been painted, lightly sand the surface to improve adhesion, making sure to scrape and spot-prime peeling areas. Apply one to two coats of paint made for high-traffic areas, or choose a deck stain to let the wood's beauty show through.
Roy Gumpel
Curtain Shades
If you use your porch to entertain or simply to read and relax, creating the proper ambience is a key concern. Be sure to install the right lighting for evening hours, and put up curtains or blinds to help filter the daytime sun.

The Hammock
Before installing a hammock, make certain that the wall and the post you want to hang it between are sturdy enough to handle the weight. Consult the hammock manufacturer for specific guidelines and hardware suggestions for your home.

Alfresco Dining
An outdoor dining area needn't be right outside your back door. With the proper building materials and durable furnishings, you can enjoy an alfresco meal in any pleasant nook of your yard.

Black and White Outdoor Room
The large, decorative awning expands the living space, making the patio a comfortable dining area. Durable, Greek key-patterned outdoor rugs soften the concrete patio and help define the dining area. And a row of patio doors provides natural light and a view to the yard, while also opening up the small space.

Awning Curtains
Attached with grommets, these curtains can be easily moved to help block the sun. Check with local awning companies to see if they can create a similar look for your outdoor space.
Keep the awning clean by hosing it off monthly. Every two to three years, clean it with a mild soap and water mixture. Rinse and air dry.

Porch Swing
Narrow but spanning the length of the house, this porch offers much in the way of comfort, including a swing with plenty of cushions and occasional tables to hold beverages and treats. Throw pillows echo the colors of the surrounding flowers.

Secret Garden
With a structure to grow on, plants can create living walls that offer privacy and seclusion. Here, a cedar arbor boasts a dense covering of roses that forms a natural "roof," while a boxwood shrub anchors the base of each column. The result is an intimate seating area that can be used for relaxing or dining.
William P. Steele
Inside the Arbor
The eastern red cedar used for the arbor and furniture wasn't chosen simply for its knotty, faded beauty; it's also long-lasting and naturally repels insects. A boxwood planted at the base of each cedar column helps to give the garden structure even in winter, when most of the plants go dormant.
William P. Steele
Elegant Porch
Bringing a bit of the indoors out, such as the Chippendale-style bench near the front door, gives outdoor living spaces an aspect of elegance. Color from the doors to the fabric adds personality.
Keith Scott Morton
Quiet Backyard
Create a quiet sitting area by placing a bench and table under a shady tree.

Cedar Pergola
The rustic cedar pergola planted with climbing roses, golden hops vine, hardy kiwi, and grapes offers a shady, scenic spot to rest and enjoy the views, scents, and sounds of the garden.

Adding a fire pit is one way to create an outdoor kitchen. A bar extends the usefulness of the space for outdoor dining.

2013 Capitol Day
Advocates and volunteers traveled to the Capitol on Friday from all over the state to march for full funding of victim services for those who have suffered domestic violence and sexual abuse. Last year over 79,000 Texans accessed victim services, and current funding is crucial to the support of these different sites and programs. State funding helps to support 68 24-hour shelters, 10 non-residential centers and 16 special project sites. Organized by TCFV, TAASA, and Mary Kay, this year's Capitol Day brought together hundreds of supporters, giving them the chance to raise their voices in unison, and meet with state legislators to speak about goals.

Scientific name: Rollulus rouloul
Country: Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei
Continent: Asia
Diet: Seeds - granivore, fruits - frugivore, insects - insectivore, molluscs - molluscivore
Food & feeding: Omnivore
Habitats: Tropical rainforest
Conservation status: Near threatened
Description: The roul roul partridge is approximately 26 cm in length, weighing 200 grams (female) to 230 grams (male). It is an unmistakable bird with a spectacular reddish crest, dark plumage and bright red bare parts. The female is very different from the male, but equally distinctive, with most of the plumage green and head grey. The young birds resemble the female but with more mottled colouring. The young male has a greyish belly.
Lifestyle: The roul roul partridge lives on the forest floor in large gregarious groups of up to 40 birds, that spend the day foraging for fruits, seeds and insects.
Family & friends: The roul roul often follows wild pigs around the forest, feeding on the pigs leftovers, such as half-eaten fruits. They use their feet to scratch for food in the leaf-litter.
Keeping in touch: The birds have a loud alarm call that is uttered when danger threatens. A quiet whistle is also used by family members to stay together in dense forest cover.
Growing up: The nest is a complex dome construction made of leaves and twigs that hides the female completely when she is inside.
Five to six eggs are laid and incubation is undertaken by the female and lasts about 18-19 days. When the chicks hatch they are well developed, but still need to be fed by the female for the first week. They stay with the parents for a further three months.
The nest dome of this species can be burst open in a hurry if predators threaten, allowing nesting material to fall onto the eggs, perhaps hiding them from sight.
Conservation news: The roul roul partridge is not considered to be globally threatened but it is vulnerable to habitat destruction particularly due to logging. What was once a widespread species is now limited in its distribution.

The Boston Globe Announces Top Places To Work For 2012
The Boston Globe once again turns its spotlight on the region's best employers in its Top Places to Work magazine, which will appear in The Boston Sunday Globe on November 4. This year, Millennium, the Analysis Group and the Boston Harbor Hotel won the highest marks, with Globoforce topping the magazine's new small business category for organizations with 50 to 99 employees. The issue will also be featured on BostonGlobe.com and Boston.com.
This is the popular 44-page magazine's fifth year of honoring the state's most beloved workplaces based on surveys of the people who know best -- the employees themselves.
"When we launched in 2008 during the Great Recession, we wondered if employers would lose focus on keeping their employees happy," Boston Globe Business Editor Shirley Leung said. "But businesses have continued to make strides in employee appreciation and opportunities. With more than 300 companies surveyed this year, we saw our highest participation rate to date."
Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Co., with about 1,200 employees in Cambridge, ranks number one in the largest employer category. Owned by Japan's Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., Millennium retains workers by valuing collaboration and cross-cultural sensitivity.
Analysis Group, number one in the large category, provides employees with plenty of mentoring and opportunities to further their studies. The Boston consultancy, with about 275 employees, provides economic analysis and expert testimony to law firms. The Boston Harbor Hotel topped the medium category for treating its roughly 200 Boston employees as well as it treats its VIP guests. The five-star property rewards employees who go above-and-beyond in customer service. Globoforce, the number one small employer, extends its product to its own workforce. The Southborough firm not only manages workplace appreciation programs for other companies but also utilizes the same rewards program to boost its own morale.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Russia behind Ukraine U-turn on EU
European commissioner says Russian pressure and "myths and misinterpretation" led to Ukraine's decision not to sign trade and political deals with EU.
Ukraine's decision not to sign political and trade agreements with the European Union is directly related to strong Russian economic pressure, coupled with Russian "myths and misinterpretation" about the trade deal offered by the EU to Ukraine, according to Štefan Füle, the European commissioner for the neighbourhood policy.

Mutsy-It is best to invest in general obligation bonds with a state that is more fiscally sound. For example, a good choice would be to invest in general obligation bonds with the state of Texas.
This state is one of the few states in the union with a budget surplus and it would be relatively safe to lend money to this state.
However, the state of California is in a state of disarray and any investments to this state would not be wise because the state is essentially bankrupt.
The great thing about municipal bonds is that the income that you receive from the interest is totally tax free. So if you invested $200,000 in municipal bonds that paid an interest rate of 5%, you would receive two biannual payments of $5,000 for a grand total of $10,000 of tax free income a year.
These bonds have maturity dates from one year to thirty years and you usually need at least $10,000 to start investing in them. You have to buy these bonds from stock brokers or licensed banking sales people which is the only way to enter these investment securities.

Western Mediterranean
Ship: Wind Surf
Best for: Honeymooners, workaholics, seasoned travelers, and anyone else more interested in chilling out than rushing from sight to sight
Why it's a good value: Traveling during the shoulder season is always a good way to save a bundle, but this year's discounts are steeper than ever; this Windstar sailing is now $2,700 per person less than the brochure price
Length: 7 nights
Departures: November 2009
Number of passengers: 312
Cost: From $1,084
Think you have to pay a lot for the privacy and intimacy of a small ship? Think again. This fare comes out to less than $300 per nightand only $150 per night if you've cruised with Windstar before and can take advantage of its return-customer savings. The weather in the Mediterranean may be slightly cooler in November than during the height of the cruise season, but that's a small price to pay for the lack of crowds in popular cities like Barcelona and Valencia (pictured). The rest of the itinerary focuses on lesser-known ports where rugged landscapes and ancient ruins are the draw (not to mention the view of two continents from the Rock of Gibraltar), so you won't mind that you'll have to be back on board each evening around five o'clock. Windstar's vessels are powered most of the time by their sails, which means you'll hear nothing but the ocean breezes during your one day at sea. And you can leave your jacket and tie at home: Attire on these ships is always casual (206-292-9606; windstarcruises.com).

Canada under fire over Kyoto protocol exit
Several countries have criticised Canada for formally withdrawing from the Kyoto Protocol on climate change.
A spokesman for France's foreign ministry called the move "bad news for the fight against climate change", a sentiment echoed by other officials.
Peter Kent, Canada's minister of the environment, has said the protocol "does not represent a way forward".
The move, which is legal and was expected, makes Canada the first nation to pull out of the global treaty.
A spokesman for China's foreign ministry told reporters that the decision was "regrettable and flies in the face of the efforts of the international community", Reuters news agency reported.
The protocol, initially adopted in Kyoto, Japan, in 1997, is aimed at fighting global warming. Through the agreement, countries like China and India take voluntary, but non-binding steps to reduce their carbon emissions.
Japan's own environment minister, Goshi Hosono, urged Canada to stay in the protocol.
That Canada would withdraw from the Kyoto Protocol has been the worst-kept recent secret in climate change politics.
On taking office in 2007, Stephen Harper's government found their predecessors, for all their green rhetoric, had done little to cut Canada's emissions.
Rather than heading for a 6% cut from 1990 levels by 2020, the Kyoto pledge, it was and still is set for a rise of about 16% - more like 30% if you include forestry. The obvious answer, to huge disdain from critics, was to say they wouldn't try meeting the target.
Since then, the approach has been to copy the US line. Canada's current pledge is exactly the same as the US one - a cut of 17% from 2005 levels by 2020 - with the proviso that the number will change if the US passes legislation with a different target.
And as the US is outside Kyoto, Canada's last act of mimicry was to leave as well.
A burning question at the recent UN talks in Durban was whether Japan, Russia, Australia or New Zealand would follow Canada's lead - which would effectively leave just European countries inside.
For the moment, it appears unlikely, as all like the flexibility Kyoto offers for meeting emission targets. But it's not impossible.
But that will not happen, Mr Kent said. "Kyoto, for Canada, is in the past, and as such we are invoking our legal right to withdraw from Kyoto," Mr Kent said.
He said he would be formally advising the United Nations of his country's intention to pull out.
He said meeting Canada's obligations under Kyoto would cost $13.6bn (10.3bn euros; £8.7bn): "That's $1,600 from every Canadian family - that's the Kyoto cost to Canadians, that was the legacy of an incompetent Liberal government."
Despite that cost, greenhouse emissions would continue to rise as two of the world's largest polluters - the US and China - were not covered by the Kyoto agreement, Mr Kent said.
"We believe that a new agreement that will allow us to generate jobs and economic growth represents the way forward."
Mr Kent's announcement came just hours after a last-minute deal on climate change was agreed in Durban
Talks on a new legal deal covering all countries will begin next year and end by 2015, coming into effect by 2020, the UN climate conference decided.
Some countries, including India, were worried that the first nation to formally remove itself from the binding Kyoto agreement would jeopardise the future conferences.
For low-lying island nation Tuvalu, most at-risk for rising sea levels, the withdrawal was more personal.
"For a vulnerable country like Tuvalu, its an act of sabotage on our future," Ian Fry, Tuvalu's lead negotiator told Reuters. "Withdrawing from the Kyoto Protocol is a reckless and totally irresponsible act."
Australia's lead delegate, Minister of Climate Change Greg Combet has defended Canada's decision.
"The Canadian decision to withdraw from the protocol should not be used to suggest Canada does not intend to play its part in global efforts to tackle climate change," a spokesman told the Sydney Morning Herald.
Mr Kent said that Kyoto was a "dated document" but said "there was good will demonstrated in Durban, the agreement that we ended up with provides the basis for an agreement by 2015".
Though the text of the Durban agreement "provides a loophole for China and India", the Canadian minister said, it represents "the way forward".
Canada's previous Liberal government signed the accord but Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservative government never embraced it.
Canada declared four years ago that it did not intend to meet its existing Kyoto Protocol commitments and its annual emissions have risen by about a third since 1990.
Canadian reaction on Kyoto withdrawal
Canada's withdrawal from Kyoto was not unexpected. In early December, Canada's The Globe and Mail looked at the likely costs or penalties of either failing to meet the 2012 Kyoto targets or withdrawing from the protocol. "The question which remains is whether the effect on Canada's international reputation would be greater as a result of withdrawal or non-compliance," Andrew Leach writes.
A CBC analysis argues that the original Kyoto protocol did its job, if only in the narrow sense of reducing the emissions of signatories. However, at the time same emissions levels in other countries grew. Robert Sheppard writes that Canada set naive set targets last time and by failing to live up to them has damaged its position.
"It's a legitimate argument: China needs to step up." he says. "But how do you make it with a straight face when you haven't come anywhere close to meeting your own international obligations and you also want to turn around and sell China as much oil sands petroleum as it is willing to take?"
Globe and Mail opinion columnist Margaret Wente dismisses the Durban talks as "absurd" and says climate change conferences are more about power and money and the opportunity for growing economies to "extract billions" from rich countries.
Meanwhile, Craig McInnes at the Vancouver Sun sees the Kyoto withdrawal as part of a larger abandonment by the Canadian government on the climate issue, and worries that while his fellow citizens say they care about the environment, they lack the will as consumers and citizens to make significant changes.

blog postsOrange KrushDec 3, 2013 1:03 pm by email@example.com to campus after fall break is such a bittersweet feeling. I was sad to leave a home full of great food and better family, but I am excited to get back to campus and end a great semester! There is however one thing that excites me more than anything about returning to campus and that is Illinois basketball. Coach Groce and the Illini are currently undefeated and everyone on campus is very excited about how our team has been playing so far! This year, I am a member of the basketball student cheering section, Orange Krush. As a member of Orange Krush, I have the opportunity to sit right next to the court every single game. Never have I experienced such an exciting atmosphere as when I had the opportunity to sit courtside while Illinois played 18th ranked Gonzaga my freshman year. If you are a basketball fan of any sorts, I recommend becoming a part of Orange Krush when you get to campus! Orange Krush is a student led organization that not only cheers at every basketball game, but also has the opportunity to give back to the community around us with grants and donations going to many local charities. This past year, the Orange Krush Foundation donated approximately $150,000 to the University and 61 charities. Many other College of Business students like me are involved with business organizations but are also involved in the Orange Krush Foundation as well. Joining Orange Krush is not only a great way to support our university, but also a great way to meet other students from around campus. Waiting for the game to start! I had to share the view with this guy for the entire game!

text: A cross-connection is a pathway for backflow of non-drinking water into the drinking water system. Backflow can occur either because of reduced pressure in the drinking water system (called "backsiphonage") or the presence of increased pressure from a non-drinking water source (called "backpressure"). Backsiphonage may be caused by a variety of circumstances, such as main breaks, flushing, pump failure, or emergency firefighting water drawdown. Backpressure may occur when the pressure in the external customer system exceeds the pressure in the drinking water system. Both conditions act to change the direction of water, which normally flows from the drinking water system to the customer, so that non-drinking water and potentially contaminated water from industrial, commercial, or residential sites flows back into the distribution system through a cross-connection.

"Here's the other reason it's safe to assume Apple is quietly working on the destruction of its most massive business, the iPhone," Carlson reports. "Just like Google and Microsoft, Apple is working on computerized glasses."
Carlson reports, "Computerized glasses, are, at the moment, the technology that is most likely to bring the smartphone era to an end… We have the rough schematics of Apple's project.
They've been publicly available on the US Patent Office's Web site since this summer, when they were noticed by several Apple-watching websites. In the patent filing, Apple calls the gadgeta 'head-mounted display' or 'HMD.'"

Shame on us all, then, for selling Kasey short. He put on an exceptional run of racing, including two wins, that vaulted him from forgotten to Chase lock, and almost into the top 10. In short, he's spent the last few months looking like a legitimate championship contender, something that we can't say of many of the other drivers ahead of him in the mix.
Kahne has that combination of reliability and "win ability" (whatever you call it when he can get a win at most tracks) that you need to survive in the Chase. He starts at the back of the pack points-wise, but odds are he'll be able to make up ground in short order.
His best Chase track: Charlotte, where he's got an average finish of 12.7. That'll be useful come October, but Kahne doesn't really have an exceptional record at any one Chase track.
His worst Chase track: Hmm. He's got a 20th or worse average finish at five Chase tracks: Phoenix, Talladega, Chicago, Martinsville and Dover. That doesn't bode so well for our boy. He'll need to better his average at four of five of those, minimum, to have any short of shot.
JB's take: This could be a very good Chase indeed for Kahne. The problem is, he still has a tendency, whether mechanical or operational, to post some finishes in the 30s. One of those, you might be able to survive and run at a Cup. Two or more, it's time to start looking to 2013. Our pick? He'll be a factor, but not a major one.

Retreat to the Rock
This event was founded in 1989 by Roseann Rossi and Pat Picco, two Christian women in the Illinois Valley who had a desire to use our beautiful Starved Rock State Park for the glory of God. They invited several women from various Christian churches to pray for guidance and come to meetings in their homes if they felt led to be involved in forming an interdenominational Christian women's retreat. Thus, Retreat to the "Rock" was birthed. Twelve ladies from various churches and backgrounds prayed, visited other retreats and called upon Winsome Women retreat from Winona Lake, Indiana to help them get started. Ethel Anderson, an officer from that retreat, was the first speaker for Retreat to the "Rock". Judy Dagraedt, a local woman with a beautiful music ministry led the music. The twelve founding members of the Retreat to the "Rock" board met and prayed fervently for the retreat, placing ten dollars a meeting in an offering to get the group started. From this humble beginning, God has used this retreat for years to proclaim His Word, bring salvation to the lost, and encourage and comfort His people. The retreat offers Bible based teaching, a variety of workshops, praise and worship, a prayer room, warm fellowship, an abundance of delicious food, and the wonderful ambiance and luxury of Starved Rock Lodge. Many women return year after year, using the retreat for a reunion of friendships, girls' night out or just good old fashioned R&R. All leave blessed.

Also referred to as UM, Unified Messaging means integrating varied communication methods – such as email, fax and voice. The main purpose behind Unified Messaging is that sending and receiving any kind of communication, can all be carried out using simply one interface. This means that your voice mails, emails and even fax messages can all be accessed through a mailbox on your computer, mobile phone or even on your landline. What is even more fascinating about UM is that you can even receive emails on your phone, using software that converts text to speech, this works vice versa as well.
What are the benefits of using UM?
Unified Messaging gives you access to communication on a single platform regardless of where you are located. If you work in an office, it might be more convenient if you could receive all your communication via your email. This way, you can deal with it all at the same time, and thus prioritize, just like you do with your emails. If your job entails that you are constantly travelling, then integrating all your communication onto your mobile phone will make things even more convenient. In this manner, you will always have access to your messages – be it email or fax. UM systems generally have a wide variety of features you can choose from. They include being able to access all your messages throughout the day, provision of accessibility to the internet and even notifications of messages received.
Depending on the service provider, the functions you receive on a UM system could differ. When choosing one for an organization, it is best that you choose one that is congruent with the current communication practices being used.

The caring professionals at the Advanced Primary Stroke Center provide:
The NIH Stroke Scale is a test done by certified nurses to assess the extent of injury and to make sure that the stroke has stabilized.
Neuro checks, also done by nurses, are a series of questions asked to stroke patients, such as: "What is the date? What time is it? Where are you?" They also test the strength of a patient's arms and legs. These are ways to monitor the effects of a stroke.
ABCD2 is the latest tool to help doctors determine whether patients who have had a transient ischemic attack (TIA) should be admitted to the hospital. (A TIA is a "ministroke," or "warning stroke," that produces stroke-like symptoms but no lasting damage.) Patients with a score higher than 3 are admitted to the hospital.
Secondary care involves treatment in the hospital to prevent complications. It focuses on helping patients overcome some of stroke's most serious effects and to help make them as independent as possible. Most often specialists are called in.
The Advanced Primary Stroke Center provides a wide assortment of resources used in the prevention of stroke:

Repligen Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2012 Financial Results And Provides Financial Guidance For 2013
- Bioprocessing Revenue Increases to $42 Million, Total Revenue Reaches $63 Million in 2012 - - Year-over-Year Net Income Increases by $18 Million -
WALTHAM, Mass., March 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Repligen Corporation (Nasdaq:RGEN) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2012. The Company reported total revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 of $18,814,000, an increase of $11,649,000 as compared to total revenue of $7,165,000 for the same period in 2011. Revenue growth for the fourth quarter of 2012 was led by the Company's bioprocessing business which expanded as a result of its acquisition of Repligen Sweden AB in December 2011. Bioprocessing revenue was $9,709,000 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, more than three times the $3,115,000 of bioprocessing revenue generated during the same period in 2011. Royalty and other revenue for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, which includes royalty payments received from Bristol-Myers Squibb on its U.S. sales of Orencia ®, was $9,105,000 compared to $4,050,000 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $5,055,000. This increase is primarily due to $4,876,000 of revenue related to an upfront payment from Pfizer Inc. in accordance with the terms of a therapeutic licensing agreement for our spinal muscular atrophy program. Net income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 was $9,553,000, an increase of $11,715,000 as compared to a net loss of $2,162,000 for the same period in 2011. Earnings per diluted share were $0.30 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 as compared to loss per diluted share of $0.07 for the same period in 2011. December 31, 2012 marks the end of the first full year for which the Company is reporting consolidated financial results since its acquisition of Repligen Sweden AB.
Operating expenses for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 were $12,403,000 compared to $8,703,000 for the same period in 2011, an increase of $3,700,000 or 43%. These operating expenses included an increase in cost of product revenue of $4,409,000 due to higher product sales, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses of $1,014,000 compared to the same three-month period in 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the 2011 period included expenses related to the acquisition of Repligen Sweden AB and our activities in connection with the potential launch and commercialization of our therapeutic product candidate RG1068. Research and development expenses decreased by $527,000 during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. This decrease was primarily due to lower spending on our clinical development programs as a result of our decision to focus on our core bioprocessing business. Cash and investments as of December 31, 2012 were $49,970,000 compared to $36,025,000 as of December 31, 2011.

Life Everlasting: The Animal Way of Death
2012 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0547752660 | EPUB + MOBI | 0.8 MB + 3 MB
From one of the finest naturalist/writers of our time, a fascinating investigation of Natures inspiring death-to-life cycle
When a good friend with a severe illness wrote, asking if he might have his ˇ°green burialˇ± at Bernd Heinrichs hunting camp in Maine, it inspired the acclaimed biologist to investigate a subject that had long fascinated him. How exactly does the animal world deal with the flip side of the life cycle? And what are the lessons, ecological to spiritual, raised by a close look at how the animal world renews itself? Heinrich focuses his wholly original gaze on the fascinating doings of creatures most of us would otherwise turn away fromfield mouse burials conducted by carrion beetles; the communication strategies of ravens, ˇ°the premier northern undertakersˇ±; and the ˇ°inadvertent teamworkˇ± among wolves and large cats, foxes and weasels, bald eagles and nuthatches in cold-weather dispersal of prey. Heinrich reveals, too, how and where humans still play our ancient and important role as scavengers, thereby turningnot dust to dustbut life to life.

Since EmpowHer is focusing on heart health this February, I thought I would share some of my tips on the best foods for your heart and how to prepare them.
It is no surprise that eating nutritious foods and living a health conscious lifestyle keeps your heart well, too. Even though it seems like a no brainer, this does not mean that everyone will listen and follow through. And this is namely for one reason: heart healthy foods are often terribly bland.
A common misconception about cooking a heart healthy meal is that "heart healthy" means "tasteless." Heart healthy food does not have to be that fat-free-salt-free-taste-free stuff that it sounds like. Spice up your life by getting creative in the kitchen and cooking up some delicious and heart healthy foods.
Top Heart Healthy Foods
To kick things off, here is a list of the top foods for a happy and healthy heart.
1. Oatmeal: Because of its omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, potassium, folate, niacin, calcium, and soluble fiber, oatmeal keeps the arteries clear and eliminates LDL, better known as the "bad" cholesterol.
2. Black or Kidney Beans: These are rich in B-complex vitamins, niacin, folate, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, and soluble fiber.
3. Red Wine: Contains catechins and reservatrol (flavonoids) which help the cardiovascular system.
4. Blueberries: These, as well as other berries, are chocked full of beta-carotene and lutein (carotenoids), anthocyanin (a flavonoid), ellagic acid (a polyphenol), vitamin C, folate, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and fiber. These elements reduce the risk of heart disease and can help to prevent cancer.
5. Broccoli: Rich in beta-carotene (a carotenoid), Vitamins C and E, potassium, folate, calcium, and high in fiber.
6. Red bell peppers: Filled with beta-carotene and lutein (carotenoids), B-complex vitamins, folate, potassium, and fiber to help eliminate toxins in the body.
7. Oranges: Packed with beta-cryptoxanthin, beta- and alpha-carotene, lutein (carotenoids) and flavones (flavonoids), vitamin C, potassium, folate, and fiber, these citrusy fruits keep the heart strong and the immune system healthy.
8. Tomatoes: Full of beta- and alpha-carotene, lycopene, lutein (carotenoids), vitamin C, potassium, folate, and fiber.
9. Dark chocolate: The reservatrol and cocoa phenols (flavonoids) keep the heart arteries flexible and the body stress hormone levels low.
10. Avocado: Packed with monounsaturated fat, avocados can help lower LDL levels while raising the amount of HDL cholesterol in the body.
How To Utilize These Foods:
Many people would agree the prior list of super foods don't all sound particularly appealing on their own especially in comparison to typical comfort foods full of cream, sugar, and fat—except for maybe the wine and chocolate.
Unfortunately, healthy food often seems boring because we get stuck in a rut of the same old recipes. Eating a lean piece of chicken with broccoli on the side is only appealing for a short time. Instead of compartmentalizing food into separate plated categories, weave those healthy ingredients together into tasty comfort foods while using spices that amp up the flavor.
Craving chicken pot pie? Swap cream for low fat milk, only put the crust on top, and pile the veggies high and deep while seasoning them with unique herbs such as thyme or rosemary. Have a glass of wine on the side for the extra heart benefits.
Be creative with food substitutions. Make chicken fajitas with black beans, bell peppers, and guacamole on warmed (not fried) corn tortillas.
Being heart healthy does not mean suffering during meals. A little cooking inspiration is the perfect solution to the beating stereotypically boring diet of heart conscious individuals. And before making any dramatic diet changes, be sure to communicate with your healthcare provider for suggestions and resources.
Hello Anonymous,
Thank you for sharing your list of heart healthy foods and cooking suggestions. Following a restricted diet can be challenging, but with
creativity, it need not be boring. The Mediterranean diet has long been
recommended. Nothing boring or tasteless about this diet.

Midland, TX (Big 2 News) - As the morning began, many buses are left behind at the EZ Transit Center.
EZ Rider has a shortage of drivers and this makes times difficult for people reach their destinations.
"This is my main means of transportation, "EZ Rider", and if it doesn't show up, well I'm stuck", said Ron Harper of Odessa.
The Basin relies on the transit system for weekly transportation.
In Midland, route three was running late and people decided to leave.
The same problem occurred in Odessa on route five.
"I sat out here one day last week and they were running about 30 minutes late", said Harper.
In each city, EZ Rider covers more than three hundred stops.
With a limited amount of drivers, complications are bound to happen.
Harper says he relies on the bus service to get to his doctor's appointments.
"I don't know what I'm going to do then if there is no bus service, they're gonna be moving my appointment between Odessa and Midland, sometime next year", said Harper.
The transit service runs within each city of Odessa and Midland.
Although the bus service is enduring a shortage, because of the oil boom, EZ Rider is hiring.
The company provides all needed training to obtain your commercial driver's license which is a useful tool.
They also train employees to care for passengers.
"EZ Rider does the best they can, and most of their drivers are real considerate and helpful", said Harper.
Harper had one idea that may get people wanting to work for the company.
"Maybe if EZ Rider paid the employees more they would stay, whatever it takes to keep them here", said Harper.

I have a friend that wants to try his hand at making a holster for me. I can't ship him my N-Frame Model 22 to get a good fit. Where oh where do you holster makers on this forum get the dummy guns to make your holsters?
I wouldn't consider this direct competition if you are a holster maker. The bloke that's doing this holster is filling a void for me as a favor, saddle making is his thing.


text: I'm a quilter first and foremost, all types, from traditional to art quilts, love to quilt my own quilts. Been sewing, first making my children's and my clothes, since my teens. Only sew quilts now, no mending or hems(much to my husband's disgust). Love the social side of quilting, classes and friendships.

With elections at the end of the year, Generation Wave is producing politically subversive music.
Zayar Thaw, another famous hip-hop artist, was arrested and sentenced to six years. Minutes before Zayar Thaw was sentenced, he wrote a statement, which was leaked to GW members. "Tell the people to have the courage to reject the things they don't like, and even if they don't dare to openly support the right thing, tell them not to support the wrong thing," he said in his statement.
The young musician pioneered the hip-hop industry in Myanmar, releasing the first-ever rap album in the country in 2003. The rock 'n' roll music fans of Myanmar's crumbling cities found a new passion overnight.
Zayar Thaw's thirst for hip-hop was married to his desire to further democracy in Myanmar. The most prolific of GW campaigns, which saw the phrase "Change New Government" being applied to Change Nitric Gas stickers, was his brainchild. This motto is also spray-painted across the gate of GW's safe house in Mae Sot.
All the walls of the GW safe house are covered in graffiti. One wall has "Freedom" splattered across it. Another has "Generation Wave" stenciled in red, with a large clenched fist giving a thumbs up — GW's logo.
9KT's latest album, "Never Give Up," is a direct message to youth. Eleven tracks, to be released in October in time with Myanmar's elections, mix rock and hip-hop. One song called "If We All Unite," talks about coming together to topple the government; while another, "Negative Thinking," is a comic song that mocks the generals for their bad intentions.
"Music can change everything. Popular music can change a lot," he said. "When I was young and heard celebrities singing happy songs, it made me happy, if they sang angrily, it made me angry — so I hope if the people hear political songs from familiar voices they will become interested in politics."
The cameraman at the music video shoot takes an aerial position. 9KT shakes a can of spray paint and skillfully tags "2010," to represent the upcoming elections, on the concrete floor. Without delay he whips out his second can and aggressively paints a white cross over the digits.
Angrily, he stamps on it and walks off. With a bit of luck a dog walks over the graffiti. Since dogs are considered lowly creatures, cheers arise from the group which believes the upcoming election will be a sham — a belief furthered by new election laws that for the first time allow the junta to legally arrest opposition politicians who did not register.
As the camera and lights get packed up GW members sit around a table with guitars discussing their upcoming furtive campaigns.
"We have to do as many as possible during the elections," Min Yan Naing told the group. "A revolution is evolving, it might not happen over night but at least the people will soon realize they have the right to be free."
