Mavado Gets Robbed in Toronto
Reggae star Mavado, who just performed at the Gold Coast Roller Rink in Fort Lauderdale a week ago, was robbed on Tuesday in Toronoto. According to reports, most of Mavado's belongings were stolen including a laptop, money, and his passport. As a result, Mavado has cancelled his upcoming shows (Atlanta and Trinidad are pissed off) as he's literally stuck in Canada without any travel documents.

Apple cuts MacBook prices by up to $200
Apple cut the price on the base version of its 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop with "retina" display by $200 as it revamps its top-end laptops.

Share via Email
Apple cut the price on the base version of its 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop with "retina" display by $200 U.S. as it revamps its top-end laptops, weeks after the company reported a steep decline in Mac sales in the holiday quarter.
Investors have worried that Apple's iPad is cannibalizing its Mac range, but Chief Executive Tim Cook has brushed aside these concerns.
The company sold 4.1 million Macs in the December quarter, down 21 per cent from a year earlier.
Apple also missed Wall Street's revenue forecast for the third straight quarter in January after iPhone sales came in below expectations, fanning fears that its dominance of consumer electronics is slipping.
The iPhone maker said on Wednesday the base version of the MacBook Pro with retina display will now be priced at $1,499, and introduced a new 2.6 gigahertz processor, 256 gigabytes flash memory version for $1,699.
Apple also lowered the price of its 13-inch MacBook Air laptop with 256 gigabytes of flash memory to $1,299 from $1,399.
The company upgraded its 15-inch MacBook Pro with a faster 2.4 gigahertz quad-core processor and the top-end 15-inch notebook with a new 2.7 gigahertz quad-core processor and 16GB of memory.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Risk-Based Oversight of Investment Advisors Even if the SEC had a larger budget and more resources, it is doubtful that the Commission would have the resources to regularly examine all RIAs. Therefore, the SEC is likely to continue relying on risk-based oversight to fulfill its mission of protecting investors.
- Registration Requirements for Investment Advisor Representatives (IARs) When individuals launch an advisory firm, they must avoid marketing themselves or the firm as investment advisors before they are properly approved and registered. Otherwise, they are subject to severe penalties.
Research magazine is now accepting entries for both of its 2011 advisor recognition programs: The Advisor Hall of Fame, which has become a benchmark of excellence in the 20 years it has run; and its ETF Advisor Hall of Fame, now in its fifth year, which has profiled advisors who make extensive use of ETFs in constructing client portfolios and building their practices.
Advisor Hall of Fame entries must be received by Sept. 2, 2011. Candidates must have served a minimum of 15 years in the industry, acquired substantial assets under management and demonstrated superior client service. A distinguished panel of outside judges will select five advisors for the recognition, which will be featured in the December 2011 issue of Research.
ETF Advisor Hall of Fame entries must be received by July 20, 2011. Our judge, Research ETF columnist Ron DeLegge, will be seeking advisors for whom ETFs are a central focus of their financial services practices; who have a large portion of total AUM invested in exchange-traded products; and who creatively use these products through portfolios that can be mixed and matched to client needs.
Follow these links for more information on the Advisor Hall of Fame and the ETF Advisor Hall of Fame, and to submit your entries.

What You Can Expect
Tulum's close proximity to Cancun and the azure backdrop of the Caribbean Sea makes it the most visited of the Mayan sites in the Yucatan. Tulum flourished in late Post-classical times with buildings dating back to the 12th century. It was once an important trading port, one of the few Mayan cities still inhabited when the Spaniards arrived. Mounted on the edge of a cliff, this abandoned city towers above the beautiful white sandy beach, where the sun rises from the sea above the city walls.
You'll have a 45 minute guided tour of Tulum before departing for the short drive to Xel-Ha. Your guide will point out important sites, explaining the historical significance of buildings such as the Castle, the Temple of the Masks and the God Chaac.
A 20 minute drive will take you to the incredible natural aquatic theme park created by the Mayan gods themselves: Xel-Ha. This special place gathers the best of the Mexican Caribbean all in one place.
Home a wide variety of colorful tropical fish, you can learn how to snorkel and observe the different species up close. You'll explore cenotes (underground caves) or simply sit in one of the beach chairs and soak up the sun along the spectacular coastline!
Underground rivers flowing out to the beautiful Caribbean Sea feed an environment of creeks, lagoons, natural wells and ancient caves. Explore the underwater world by snorkeling and coming face to face with exotic underwater flora and fauna such as curious rays and French Angel fish. Other activities include cliff diving, rope bridge walking, and bicycling, kayaking, and much more.
Customer Reviews
March 2015
We had a wonderful trip Because we were over an hour drive, to this excursion, we chose this combined offer. We did feel rushed at Tulum and ran out of time enjoying the fun in Xel Ha. Both rate high in our books but would have done better as a full day at Xel Ha. Can't wait to go back!!
December 2014
We loved the tour and it was small and private. What a great tour guide. He was so knowledgable and was able to get us into the parks efficiently. His information on Tulum and the Mayan Culture awed all of us. We met special friends on the tour also. We LOVED Xel-Ha and would spend the whole day there with our snorkels and vests just swimming, eating and drinking. Anyone taking this tour just know that the bus picks you up but takes you to a central destination before you board your private van. Just a bit more time FYI.
we loved our tour guide!!

Clean, comfortable, had a pool. The location is great-so close to the beach. Walking distance to all attractions on Waikiki and around. We had a kitchen-we were able to cook our own food. The food is a bit pricey and I don't eat Asian cuisine or seafood. Each floor has a washing machine and a dryer. Each room has a dishwasher-dishes, pans and pots.

San Francisco, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Paris Lee, Zach Lofton and Bobby Hunter each scored 15 points to help lead the Illinois State Redbirds past the San Francisco Dons, 90-76, as part of the Golden Gate Challenge at War Memorial Stadium.
Nick Zeisloft added 14 points for Illinois State (3-4), while Daishon Knight stuffed the stat sheet with 12 points, eight rebounds, six assists and three steals. Reggie Lynch rounded out the Redbirds' double-digit scorers with 10 points off the bench.
For USF (5-4), Tim Derksen paced all scorers with 18 points on 8-of-10 from the field. Mark Tollefsen added 17 points, Cole Dickerson netted 13 points, Matt Glover had 10 points and six assists, and Kruize Pinkins ripped down 10 rebounds.
Although USF shot 47.8 percent from the field in the first half compared to Illinois State's 42.4 percent, the Redbirds carried a 34-28 lead into intermission. They attempt 10 more shots in the stanza than the Dons thanks largely to winning the turnover battle, 12-6.
The Redbirds' advantage grew to as many as 24 late in the game as they cruised to victory.
Illinois State was red-hot from 3-point range, shooting 13-of-27. USF, on the other hand, made only 4-of-27 from beyond the arc.

New Models Complement UR1M Micro-Bodypack
NILES, IL, April 14, 2008âAs a distributor of Countryman products, Shure Incorporated has expanded its lineup of Countryman Earset and Micro-Lavalier microphones to include new models and color options ideally suited for use with its new UR1M Micro-Bodypack. In addition, Countryman's Type 85 Direct Box will now be available from Shure.
Providing exceptional sound quality and comfort while remaining virtually invisible to the audience, the latest Countryman products being distributed by Shure are sold in configurations offering multiple coverage patterns, skin tone colors, and feature two types of connectors.
Perfect for wireless applications in which concealment is a priority, the WCE6 and WCE6i Earset microphones are the smallest and lightest in their class. Nearly impossible to detect against a wide variety of skin tones, the microphones are outfitted with a rugged, bendable boom that ensures a custom fit for every user.
All-purpose, just as reliable and equally easy to hide, the Countryman WCB6 Micro-Lavalier microphone now available from Shure is smaller than the cable of other lavalier mics at only .1 inches thick. Sold in colors that blend in an undetectable fashion with clothing and different skin tones, this subminiature device performs very reliably while offering excellent rejection of surrounding noise.
The last of the new Countryman products shipping from Shure is the Type 85 Direct Box. Sleek and nearly indestructible, the low-profile device delivers the purest signal possible to the mixing console with no added coloration, distortion, or loss of dynamic range.
The WCE6 and WCE6i Earset microphones have suggested retail prices starting at $488.50. The WCB6 Micro-Lavalier lists for $571.85, while the Type 85 Direct Box is $231.07.
About Shure Incorporated

This year was not feeling like Christmas.
We've all had those "off" years, so you know what I'm talking about.
If you're a mother, on whom the majority of the Christmas production rests, then you really know what I'm talking about.
The air didn't smell right. There wasn't enough snow on the ground.
I kept looking for a missing box of Christmas decorations. There was no box missing. But something felt absent.
I thought maybe it was the lack of a tree, that beacon of Christmas. We were late this year in getting a tree, later than we've ever been. But on Saturday we finally shivered our way through the tree-hunting tradition and brought home the loveliest spruce ever to grace the Lewis living room.
And though our house smelled of fresh-cut wood, it still didn't feel like Christmas.
Then on Sunday evening we ventured with our boys to downtown Minneapolis for a performance of George Frideric Handel's "Messiah."
Five minutes in, the kids were sliding out of their seats. I wasn't sure we'd make it to intermission.
Then something happened, the way things always happen in live music or theater. We were slowly pulled into the music and into the story of Jesus Christ's birth, death and resurrection. The baritone soloist quaked his way through his arias with power and precision. The countertenor promised us that "a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Emmanuel."
Then the choir came in with its bright promise: "For unto us a Child is born." My kids sat straight up. They knew this song.
By Part II, we were all captivated. Not only that, but we knew what was coming. We could feel the energy of the audience growing, and even if there was no tradition of rising during the "Hallelujah Chorus," I don't think I would have been able to help myself. We all jumped to our feet for that remarkable song.
The concert continued with the soprano aria, "I know that my Redeemer lives," a song as light and delicate as a snowflake. Then another favorite, the baritone/trumpet victory song, "The trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
By this time I could feel the pieces of my tattered soul coming back together. It really didn't matter if the Christmas letters went out late, or if my kids didn't get the most perfect gift ever made. I needed to remember that my Redeemer lives "and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth."
The "Messiah" ended with the triumphant choral number, "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. Blessing and honor, glory and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb, forever and ever. Amen."
After the concert, we drove home under a dark sky that smelled and looked like Christmas. A giant moon hung in the rafters.
I thought of Handel, of the furious 24 days in which he composed the "Messiah." In the time it takes my kids to pop every chocolate out of their Advent calendars, he had written one of the most inspired musicals scores the world has ever known.
It's recorded that when Handel wrote the "Hallelujah Chorus" he had tears streaming down his face. He later told his manservant: "I did think I did see all heaven before me and the great God himself."
In that concert, with my family by my side, I saw a glimpse of that. I saw a glimpse of Christmas.

A NURSERY worker has been suspended after she was accused of posting offensive material about disabled people on her Facebook page.
An investigation has now been launched into the worker, Kila Hunter, at New Beginnings Childcare Limited in Westhoughton after a complaint about the posts was made to Bolton Council.
Ms Hunter has been suspended until the outcome of the investigation.
Pictures alleged to have been posted show adults with Down's syndrome with an offensive caption, and words such as "retards" are shown on the page to describe children with special educational needs.
Screen grabs of the posts, seen by The Bolton News, have been handed over to Bolton Council, which works with the nursery.
New Beginnings has been found to "require improvement" by the government's education watchdog.
The nursery was given the lowest rating by Ofsted, with inspectors describing it as inadequate in January last year.
They said: "Some staff have been employed without the provider taking sufficient steps to check or keep records of their suitability.
"This means the provider has not safeguarded children's welfare."
Bolton Council workers were drafted in to help the nursery raise standards and it rose to an Ofsted grade three rating — which indicated it required improvement — in August, 2013.
- Sawn-off shotgun found in Haslam Park last week was discovered by two schoolboys
- This isn't an April Fool... play classic arcade game Pac-Man on the streets of Bolton
- £33.2 million: The amount staked on "dangerously addictive" betting machines in Bolton
- Businessman fined after dumping rubbish including a toilet basin in a residential area
- Man who died in Great Lever house fire named as police try to trace family
But then it slipped to "inadequate" in October last year and the government education watchdog took enforcement action and issued a "welfare requirement notice".
This means the nursery has to "ensure staffing arrangements meet the needs of all children, to ensure their safety and to make sure that children are adequately supervised at all times of the day".
It must also "ensure all staff understand the safeguarding policy and procedures, in order to respond in a timely and appropriate way to any safeguarding issues".
In April, the nursery was upgraded to "requires improvement" and Ofsted found "checks are carried out on all staff in order to ensure children are cared for by suitable adults" and that "the nursery had made rapid progress in improving the quality of care and teaching since its previous inspection".
The nursery confirmed Ms Hunter had been suspended and an investigation was underway.
Sharon Ward, owner of the nursery, stressed the allegations were not related to the nursery.
She added: "We were told about this by the local authority. It is nothing to do with the nursery.
"Parents have been informed about the suspension and that it is something to do with Facebook.
"We take safeguarding very seriously and parents have been very supportive."
The nursery has informed the relevant bodies, including the council.
Ms Hunter's Facebook page now has privacy settings which mean that no comments are now visible.
She declined to comment when approached by The Bolton News.
One person, who did not want to be identified, said: "I think the posts are disgusting and anybody who thinks that should not be educating children."
New Beginnings Childcare Limited was registered in 2012 and is privately managed, operating from two floors of a converted police station in Westhoughton.
It employs 17 members of childcare staff.
There are 79 children on its roll, and the nursery receives support and advice from the local authority.

Of course you can use furnished and equiped kitchen and bathroom.
There is a wireless internet in my place, so you can easily connect with the internet from your laptop or mobile phone.
The price (40$ per night) is for the room, not per person, so you don't have to pay an extra money if there is 2 of you :)
In the apartament there is also a second double bedroom for rent, so - if there is 4 of you - check my other offer.
The neighbourhood is very nice and safe, even late at night. There is a lot of great restaurants, pubs and cafes. At the same time, the quarter still keeps it's bohemian, aristic and unique atmosphere.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. See you in Krakow!

I keep there some spices for my guests, there is always a couple of sorts of tea, coffee, and of course milk and sugar.
There is a wireless internet in the whole apartament you can use with no limits.
I also have a couple of turist guides in english and french, so you can use it while here.
Interaction with Guests
I live and work 10 minutes from the apartament I rent. So you can call me or text me and I'll be there within 15 min. Besides - Im very often in the apartament, just to check if my guests have all they need :)
You can check in whenever you want, but please, let me know aproximately what time you arrive, so I will make sure that either me or my husband is around to open the door for you and leave you the keys.
If you arrive before 11am, it can happen that your room is not ready yet, then of course you can use common space (kitchem, toilet) and leave the luggage. You will get your keys, so when you are back from the morning walk you will be able to get to your room.
If you want to stay longer than till 11 am in the check-out day I may ask you to pack yourself and move your luggage to the common space. It happens only when I have another reservation for that day.
I provide clean bedding and towels.
I also provide tea/coffee/milk/sugar for your disposal.
I've been in Mariola's apt for 2 night. The rooms are lovely, clean and warm. The apartment is very central almost every place is in walking distance and there is also a lot of bus and trams running in front of it.
Good experience, good place.
Ho alloggiato presso questo host dal 5 all 8/02(website hidden) casa è molto carina e pulita e mariola è molto gentile e disponibile..si trova in una zona centrale con vicino ai mezzi pubblici e al centro della città.
felt like home.
Das Zimmer ist so wunderbar und farbenprächtig wie wir es erwartet haben. Perfekte Lage um einfach loszulaufen und Krakau zu erkunden.
Mariola war bei An- und Abreise vor Ort und hat uns auch schon vorher mit hilfreichen Tipps versorgt.
Vielen Dank, Mariola!
Wir haben vier Nächte in Mariolas Appartement verbracht und wir haben uns rund um wohl gefühlt! Mariola ist eine sehr freundliche, herzliche und bemühte Gastgeberin! Als wir ankamen hat sie uns empfangen, uns alles erklärt und uns kleine Tipps für die Stadt gegeben. Das Haus ist sehr alt und hat dadurch einen tollen Charme! Die Lage ist außerdem super! Man kann alles zu Fuß erreichen und ist direkt in dem Viertel, in dem viele Bars, Restaurants, etc. sind. Ich kann es sehr empfehlen bei Mariola zu bleiben, wenn man in Krakow ist!! Wir hatten sehr schöne vier Tage!
The listing description is very accurate.
Spacious bohemian flat. The massive radiators which stand in the corner of each room give a lot of heat and character to the place.
Mariola lives near by, she and her husband Jake take care of everything daily.
It was a great pleasure for us to stay at Mariolas place. She is a very friendly person and tries everything to give you a good feeling.
The place was very nice, exactly colorful as on the photos, with a lot of space in the 2-person-room, which is really great. Just be aware that everything is quite old (by intention most of it) which doesn't fit everybody's expectation but it gives the place a very warm feeling and we did like it very much. 5 stars!
Another good thing is the location near to the town center, a lot of good restaurants & bars around the place (with awesome breakfast just around the corner at the "Warsztat Avocado" restaurant) and even a safe parking lot is very close, so everything is in walking distance. Perfect!
We enjoyed our time very much and want to say thank you to Mariola. Thumbs up!
My experience with the service I received from Mariola I could only described as 'epic' everything was awesome. The room is much better in real life than on the pictures and the kitchen has everything you could possibly need. Mariola herself is just super host. Over all just an outstanding experience, best one I had on airbnb

My name is Mariola, I am from Kraków and I live with my husband Kuba 5 minutes trom the apartament I rent out. So - either me or my husband will give you the keys and most of the time we will be around to answer your questions, give you an advice about where to eat/drink or simply to chat over a cup of tea or glass of wine :)
A couple of words about me - I practise yoga a lot, play tennis a lot, I'm a snowboard fun as well :)
On the other hand - I did my university masters degree in literature and theatre studies so I'm just a bit of book-freak :)
As for my proffesional life - I am a co-owner of a custom publishing house. My office is also 5 minutes from this apartament, so there will be no problem with meeting you/giving you the keys in the working hours.
My husband and I we travel a lot. We love travelling east - Balkans, former Soviet Union etc. We also love mountains - hiking in the summer, snowboarding in the winter.
We love meeting people from all over the world, chatting, exchanging experience with other travelers... In one sentence - we would love to host you! Yes, You :)

5 Myths Liberals Have Created About Themselves (Part 2)
My latest Townhall column is called, 5 Myths Liberals Have Created About Themselves (Part 2). Here's an excerpt from the column.
Greek mythology, with its tales of Zeus, Apollo and Hera doesn't have a thing on the mythology that liberals have created around themselves. There's Bubba, the President who can feel your pain, BO the leader who has the ability to never be blamed for anything and, of course, the wronged woman Fluke who the gods granted free birth control for the rest of her life for not being allowed to speak to a committee…or something. Still, as you're about to see, the real face of liberalism looks a lot more like Medusa than Aphrodite.
1) Liberals are pro-capitalism: Many liberals actually get offended if you call them socialists or worse yet, communists. This is like a wife-beater getting angry when you suggest that he doesn't love his wife. At a minimum, he doesn't love her enough not to smack her in the mouth just as liberals don't love capitalism enough to avoid undermining it at every opportunity. If you want to end inequality, tax the rich into the ground, create a massive government and have a social safety net the size of a small planet, you're not a capitalist. Sure, liberals may love that capitalist lifestyle, but they believe they can have that Soviet "economic equality" too, while forgetting that it always eventually comes with ugly concrete apartments and breadlines.
Once again, you can read it all here.

'Tim and I are still the best of friends': Denise Welch to spend Christmas Day with her ex-husband AND her toyboy fiancé
No awkwardness there! Denise Welch and her toyboy fiance, Lincoln Townley, will spend Christmas with her ex-husband Tim Healy
They may have called time on their 24-year marriage in February, but Denise Welch and her ex-husband Tim Healy are planning to spend Christmas together.
And the former couple will be making the somewhat unconventional move of inviting their new respective partners along.
The Loose Women panellist explained she has chosen to spend her only day off over the festive period with her ex, her toyboy fiance Lincoln Townley, 39, and Tim's new love Joan Anderton.
She said: 'We will only have one day
this year for Christmas because of the Panto and everything and both
partners will be there.
'Tim and I are still best of friends and we are all having dinner together tomorrow night.'
But it doesn't look as though the group will be getting involved in any boozy bust-ups around the dinner table, as the 53-year-old star has vowed to not even enjoy a Christmas tipple after giving up alcohol earlier this year.
Denise added: 'I've stopped drinking.
I don't plan to drink ever again. I won't even be having a tipple at
Christmas. I've stopped drinking and that's it.'
And despite being crowned champion of Celebrity Big Brother and bagging herself a toyboy lover this year, the actress is keen to put 2012 behind her.
She explained: '2012 has been a bit of a tough year for me. I lost my mum in May and I split with Tim.
'I still can't get my head around it that Christmas is nearly here and the celebrations have started. It doesn't seem like two minutes since last Christmas.'
A close bond: Tim and Denise split in February after 24 years of marriage, but have remained 'the best of friends'
Denise and Tim, who have two sons, Matthew, 23, and Louis, 11, called time on their marriage in February after 24 years together.
Following the split, the star explained while there were multiple infidelities on both parts throughout their union, Tim would 'always' be a big part of her life.
She previously told OK! magazine: 'For me and Tim, infidelity didn't have to be the end of a relationship. We moved on from the infidelities - and there are not loads of them - because what we had was more important.
'I'll never stop loving Tim. And Lincoln has met Tim, and he can see why I love Tim. Tim will always be in my life and I wouldn't want it any other way.
'Our love didn't end, it just took a different trajectory.'
Moving on: Since parting ways with Denise earlier this year, Tim has gone on to find love with cleaner Joan Anderton

o A simple tap marks a species as seen and records the location and time of the sighting. If you are counting birds, further taps increment the count, with a built-in calculator available for large increments.
o Enhanced Intelliscroll™ switches between one- and two-letter alphabet tabs for superfast scrolling to the desired species; no need to scroll through 100 names starting with "S".
o Sightings can be marked as visual or "heard only".
o Coordinates can be recorded automatically for every bird (GPS-equipped unit recommended) or only for specific sightings.
o Recording of information (time, coordinates) for multiple sightings of the same species is optional (default records information only for the first sighting).
o Built-in, user-configurable "phrase list" makes adding notes to your sightings ("Breeding plumage", "Juvenile", etc.) a simple matter of tapping and not typing.
o Sort birds by Last Name, First Name, Bird Banding Code, Time Seen, or Taxonomic Order.
o Quickly switch between viewing all birds, only those seen or heard, or only those not seen or heard. View sightings at all locations or only the current location.
o Add "trip notes" to each day's sightings.
o Save and recall daily sightings directly on the device. Internet access not required for any aspect of the software.
o Save and recall daily sightings in the "cloud" using Dropbox™, enabling easy sharing of sightings among multiple devices.
o Create "life lists" of all your recorded sightings, or filtered life lists restricted by country, state, county, birding location, date, or by words or phrases in the trip notes (e.g., "Audubon trip") or the sighting notes (e.g., "Photographed").
o Output data via email, SD Card, or to Dropbox using standard (eBird, Google Maps) or custom formats.
o View sightings on a map on the device, or upload the information and create your own custom Google Map to view from a desktop and share with your friends.
o Preconfigured with U.S., but download dozens of country lists and all 50 state lists directly into the software. Even create your own lists.
o Country lists include standard English and local names for species (as well as scientific name), both for English-speaking countries (e.g., in the U.K., Loons are called "Divers") and non-English speaking (e.g., Mexico list includes names in English and Spanish, Swedish list includes names in English and Swedish, etc.).
o By installing (or simply entering) new lists, software can be used for sightings of anything - birds, reptiles, mammals, etc.
o Supports all characters, not just the Latin alphabet, so species names, user notes, etc. can be entered in European languages with various accent marks, Greek, Cyrilic, Japanese, etc.
o Full compatibility with iOS version, allowing you to record sightings on an iPhone and then view on an Android tablet (or vice-versa)

John James Audubon determined to paint every bird in North America. In the 1820's he began this goal by securing financial backing, and from 1827 to 1838 published the prints in sets of five.
This live wallpaper gallery contains images from plates I-XV representing the first three sets issued. The various image sets all begin with the original full Audubon plate.
In addition to the birds, Audubon often depicted North American flora and fauna, often representing a wide variety of regional reptiles in the plates.
You can browse the settings page that gives the full historical title of the plate, and often gives the name of the plants, reptiles and insects also present in the image.
The original plates were produced on an ivory paper, that in many cases has darkened significantly over time. With these restored images, you can apply a number of tints to theme your display with your favorite color scheme. The tinting effect works best with lighter tints, but a reverse tinting effect is present that works best with darker tints.
Plates I-XV include depictions of the following birds:
1. Wild Turkey
2. Yellow-billed Cuckoo
3. Prothonotary Warbler
4. Purple Finch
5. Bonaparte's Flycatcher
6. Wild Turkey
7. Purple Grakle or Common Crow Blackbird
8. White throated Sparrow
9. Selby's Flycatcher
10. Brown Titlark
11. Bird of Washington
12. Baltimore Oriole
13. Snow Bird
14. Prairie Warbler
15. Blue Yellow-backed Warbler
Additional features of the live wallpaper:
- Explore images as you change your Android screens left and right
- Manually change images with an up/down gesture
- Timer settings to change images automatically (every 30 minutes, every day, etc.)
- Individually adjust the display (brightness, contrast, saturation) of each image
- Enable/disable individual images for display
- Apply tints to individual or all images to further customize your display
- Apply reverse tint and screen effect individually or to all images

Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Jio Fontan's free throws in the waning seconds lifted the USC Trojans to a 71-69 victory over the Stanford Cardinal in each team's Pac-12 Conference opener at the Galen Center.
Fontan finished with a game-high 15 points for USC (6-8, 1-0 Pac-12). Eric Wise added 14 points, Dewayne Dedmon tacked on 11 and Chass Bryan tallied 10 more. With the win USC has already matched its total of conference victories from a year ago.
Andy Brown scored a game-high 17 points off the bench for Stanford (9-5, 0-1) which had won five of its previous six. Aaron Bright contributed 12 points. Dwight Powell finished with 11 and Josh Huestis had a double-double of 10 points and 12 rebounds.
Stanford led 42-33 at intermission after shooting 51.7 percent from the field while knocking down 7-of-16 shots from beyond the arc. USC also shot well at 52.0 percent and notched 4-of-6 shots from 3-point range.
The Trojans stormed back in the second half behind a 50.0 percent shooting effort. The Cardinal managed to hit on just 26.7 percent of its field goal attempts.
Brown tied the game at 69-69 with 27 seconds remaining but on the ensuing possession Fontan was fouled and calmly sank two free throws. The Cardinal had two chances in the final seconds but both shot attempts were off the mark.
Vanderbilt quarterback Patton Robinette said Friday he is walking away from football to enter medical school.
Regan Smith substituted for Kyle Larson in the No. 42 Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet in Sunday's Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville Speedway after Larson was sidelined due to additional medical tests following his fainting spell on Saturday.
If contradiction was an Olympic sport, Chip Kelly would certainly be medal-worthy judging by his performance at the NFL's owners meeting but the Eagles coach might have to settle for silver because Daniel Snyder's critics will take the gold every time.
There isn't much after that. The Miami Marlins are loaded up for a playoff push -- likely through a wild card spot -- and the New York Mets are up-and- coming but still raw. The Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies, former powerhouses of the division, are going through rebuilds and won't contend anytime soon.
The Los Angeles Clippers have signed guard Lester Hudson to a 10-day contract.
Mathieu Perreault will be back in the lineup when the Winnipeg Jets host the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday.

Dimensions of Dental Hygiene is committed to the highest standards of professionalism, accuracy and integrity in our mission of education supporting oral health care professionals and those allied with the dental industry. Through our print and digital media platforms, continuing education activities, and events, we strive to deliver relevant, cutting-edge information designed to support the highest level of oral health care.
Dental caries is an infectious disease. Most children appear to acquire the acid-producing mutans streptocci (MS) bacteria, including Streptococcus mutans, from their mothers.1 Transmission occurs through salivary contact and the transmission rate can be affected by the frequency of contact and the MS bacterial levels in the mother's saliva. The earlier in infancy that a high level of MS colonization is attained, the more severe the caries disease will be in the primary dentition.2 Therefore, products that delay or reduce colonization of cariogenic bacteria in the child might also provide protection against dental caries.
Xylitol, which has 40% fewer calories than sugar,3 has been a popular sugar substitute in Europe since the 1970s. Xylitol is approved in more than 35 countries, including the United States, for use in food products, pharmaceuticals, and oral health products. Because of the undeniable role of fermentable carbohydrates in dental caries, sugar substitutes are always examined for their ability to reduce or eliminate dental caries. A considerable body of research indicates that substituting sucrose with xylitol reduces the incidence of dental caries in rats and humans.4-6 Xylitol, however, is superior to other sugar substitutes because it can also prevent mother-to-child transmission of cariogenic bacteria.4,7
Xylitol-containing products are more expensive than products with other sugar substitutes. In this country, xylitol is mainly used in combination with less expensive sugar alcohols, such as sorbitol or mannitol, to improve the flavor of the product, reduce calories, and reduce caries. Often, these products do not contain enough xylitol to prevent dental caries through its specific antimicrobial properties.8 However, the use of sugar substitutes instead of sugar still results in reduced demineralization and caries prevention. When recommending a product with xylitol, the dental hygienist must determine whether xylitol is being used as a sugar substitute or at therapeutic doses for a prescribed length of time in order to produce additional protective effects.
Scientists are currently researching efficient and less expensive ways to produce xylitol from plant materials.9 Xylitol may be more affordable in the near future as a byproduct of ethanol production. Ethanol production facilities are increasing in the United States and research into manufacturing processes that provide useful coproducts, like xylitol, is ongoing.10
Sixteen separate studies (length of xylitol use ranging from 25 days to 40 months) show the protective effects of xylitol use by either reducing S. mutans numbers in plaque and saliva or reducing DMFS (decayed, missing, filled surfaces) scores following xylitol use.5 The recommended dose for xylitol ranges from 6 g to 10 g daily, to be administered three to five times. Gum products in these studies were chewed for 5 minutes each time. Therefore, most studies required a long-term period of daily chewing at a certain dose to see the antimicrobial effects of xylitol. Lozenges or mints sweetened with the appropriate dose of xylitol are also appearing on the market and may be more readily accepted by the public for use multiple times per day but, to date, most of the research has focused on chewing gum products.
In addition to reducing S. mutans levels in both oral biofilm and saliva, xylitol use can reduce the level of lactic acid produced by these bacteria.11 Xylitol may also decrease the rate of transmission of S. mutans from mothers to their infants. These benefits appear to last for years after the mother has stopped xylitol use. In children examined 2.5 years12 after the mother stopped using xylitol gum, the mean DEFS (decayed, extracted, filled surfaces in primary teeth) scores in the group whose mothers chewed gum with xylitol only were lower than the mean DEFS of the group whose mothers chewed gum containing sodium fluoride/xylitol/sorbitol mix. In another study,7 the children were examined as long as 4 years following cessation of xylitol use in the mother, and the salivary MS levels were significantly lower in the xylitol chewing gum group than in the groups that were treated with chlorhexidine or fluoride varnishes. The mothers in these studies did chew a certain dosage of xylitol two to three times daily for 12 or 21 months.
Xylitol's Dual Action
Xylitol provides benefits in two ways. First, xylitol is a sugar substitute.5,8 Its action is similar to other sugar substitutes that are nonfermentable by oral bacteria. Bacteria break down a variety of carbohydrates (glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, mannose) for use as sources of energy and carbon. The bacteria have multiple systems in their cell wall that are each responsible for the transport of a specific carbohydrate into the cell. Bacteria cannot use a carbohydrate as a food-source if it does not have a compatible system to transport the sugar into the cell. Xylitol, while not used as a food source, can still be transported into some types of bacteria but the enzymes are not present for breaking it down. Thus, no lactic acid is produced from xylitol. This is why xylitol is an excellent sugar substitute and does not promote demineralization.
Second, when used at high enough doses, xylitol is an antimicrobial.8 Inside the bacterial cell, most of the different transport systems are linked through a common set of enzymes in the phosphorylation pathway. Bacteria that have a fructose transport system are able to use it to transport xylitol into the cell but then xylitol locks the shared phosphorylation pathway enzymes in a nonproductive loop. During this process, xylitol is not broken down and the cell cannot effectively use other carbohydrate transport systems. So xylitol uptake by a cell affects cell-wide energy use and slows down metabolism and bacteria's survival.13 In other words, xylitol prevents the susceptible bacteria from simultaneously using other available sources of nutrients and directly leads to the death of the bacteria. This can explain an immediate decrease in S. mutans numbers and, thus, decreased transmission from a mother to a child4,7 if xylitol is used at appropriate dosages and for an extended time.
Long-Term Benefits
The benefits associated with xylitol appear to last for years after use has been discontinued.7,12 Prolonged use of xylitol appears to select for xylitol-resistant mutants of the MS bacteria.14 Some of these have been analyzed and have a mutation in their fructose transport system that prevents them from transporting xylitol into the cell. These same mutant bacteria appear to be shed more readily into the saliva than the parent strains.15 Xylitol-resistant S. mutans detection coincides with a reduction of S. mutans in plaque,16 which may hamper the transmission and/or colonization of S. mutans from mother to child. More recently, research involving S. gordonii has shown that mutation of its fructose transport system leads to defective biofilm formation.17 The exact mechanism is not yet understood but the evidence suggests that a functional fructose transport system has a role in proper biofilm formation and that prolonged exposure to xylitol can impair this system.
In conclusion, an abundant amount of evidence exists to support the benefits of using xylitol to prevent caries. Affordable xylitol-containing chewing gum products and permission from the dentist to chew might be effective ways to reduce childhood caries. Xylitol use presents an exciting solution for those in the dental profession who wish to provide an acceptable alternative to patients at high risk for caries. However, dental hygienists need to remember that to gain the antimicrobial benefits, xylitol needs to be used at an appropriate dose over long periods of time (6 g to 10 g daily, administered three to five times, chewed for 5 minutes each time).
Diana M. Catt, PhD, is an instructor and a postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Preventive and Community Dentistry at Indiana University School of Dentistry, Indianapolis. Her research interests include biofilm colonization by S. mutans , cell-to-cell communications within a biofilm, and the mechanism of xylitol resistance.
Margherita Fontana, DDS, PhD, a native Venezuelan, moved to the United States to pursue her research interests. She has received research grants from the National Institutes of Health, the American Association of Pediatric Dentistry, the Delta Dental Fund, and private industry. An international speaker on cariology, Fontana currently lectures on cariology in the dental and dental hygiene programs at Indiana University School of Dentistry where she is a tenured assistant professor in the Department of Preventive and Community Dentistry.
