Enjoy a private vehicle transfer to/from the Antananarivo International Airport.
Today, hop into your privately driven vehicle as you depart towards Andasibe, making route from Tana and then southwards to Antsirabe. You will cross the highlands via the famous national RN7, which leads to the South of Madagascar. A lunch-stop is scheduled in Ambatolampy where the opportunity presents itself to meet the passionate villagers who make handmade pots and other frequently used household items. In the afternoon, you will reach the town of Antsirabe, known as the "Vichy Malgache" and famous for its thermal waters and rickshaws. This highland crossing continues into the region of Betsileo, for a stop in the town of Ambositra, famous for its workshops and Zafimaniry Wood Carvings.
Continue this Madagascar adventure with a drive in a Southern direction, in the comfort of a private vehicle. Pass through the scenic highlands area as you make way from Ambositra towards the Ranomafana Rainforest.
Today you will visit the Ranomafana forest; this forest is known for species of bamboo lemurs found in Madagascar. The most common is the lesser bamboo lemur which can also be seen in Andasibe. The greater bamboo lemur is very rare and only known to be found in two locations. You may find them by hearing the crack of big bamboo stems as they feed. The star of Ranomafana is the golden bamboo lemur "Hapalemuraureus" which was only discovered in 1986 whilst researchers were trying to find the greater bamboo lemur. The park was created soon after this discovery. The largest lemur in the park is the elusive Milne-Edwards sifaka, often spotted high up in the forest canopy. You should also look out for red bellied lemurs which live in couples with their offspring and red fronted brown lemurs which live in large groups. Ranomafana is also a birding hotspot but finding birds in the dense forest can be very tricky.
Almost half of the world's chameleon's population, which being some 60 different species, are found only in Madagascar. They are known for their ability to change color as these reptiles can alter their appearance in response to changes in temperature, light, and mood. By rotating each eye independently, chameleons can see to all sides and directions without moving their heads, making meals out of flies in a flash!
Ranging in size from 30gm (1.1 oz) to 9 kg (20 lb), lemurs share many of the common primate traits, such as divergent digits on their hands and feet and nails instead of claws. However, their brain-to-body size ratio is smaller than that of anthropoid primates, and among many other traits they share with other primates, they have a "wet nose" (rhinarium). Lemurs are generally social and communicate more with scents and vocalizations than with visual signals. Many lemur adaptations are in response to Madagascar's highly seasonal environment.
Start the day off bright and early as you head out on a hike through the forest for a day of exploration. Set out on foot, accompanied by your expert guide, to the deep regions of the National Park of Ranomafana to view the diverse variety of Lemurs living here. The park's star attraction is the golden bamboo lemur, often found grazing amongst the bamboo thickets. Marvel at the colorful bird-life and uniquely beautiful flora and fauna of this rich natural habitat.
Enjoy your private vehicle transfer from Ranomafana to Fianarantsoa. The drive will take approximately two hours.
Today enjoy your private guided tour of old town Fianarantsoa. It is perched onto the hills with its beautiful traditional architecture reflecting the different stages of colonization.

A private vehicle with driver will be at your disposal for the day.
Enjoy your private vehicle transfer from Isalo National Park to Ifaty. Please keep in mind that your transfer from Tolaira to Ifaty will be a bumpy road commute and can take up to two hours. The whole drive is approximately seven hours.

"We were a group of 5 to Morocco. We were impressed at how seamless our private guided tour went. Accommodations were five star, the choice of family run hotels, beautifully appointed with Moroccan furnishings and large breakfasts, contributed to our experience. Our guide, Ishmail and driver, Abdul, made us feel like family. Ishmail showed off his country with pride, listened to our needs and was flexible to our style and speed of travel. We couldn't be happier with our Kensington experience beginning with the pre-planning in the US with Lily Baffour. Thank you very much for a memorable experience! "

"Our guide, Chakim, was fantastic, and our driver was excellent. We were very pleased with our accommodations. Only negative comments would be the villa in Essaouira (room, food, service not good although people very nice), and, while probably not an issue for other travelers, we were disappointed that we could not relax over a glass of wine at the end of our journey because Hotel Le Doge did not offer alcoholic beverages. We are currently scheduled with Kensington Tours for India in November and we are now planning on scheduling with Kensington for all our trips - right now that would be Thailand to Mynamar, and Egypt with Dubai extension. We are extremely happy with Kensington Tours and their travel agents. We would recommend Lily Balfour to anyone. "

"Christine was absolutely superb both in helping us frame and develop a custom tour as well as in constant follow up until we left. Inevitably things will change on the ground when trips are planned in advance and Christine was consistently on top of the changes and advised us accordingly. As first time travelers to Kenya and Tanzania Christine's advice and guidance was simply excellent. Rose, in Kensington's Nairobi office was likewise superb. Totally responsive to our needs, she helped make a few final adjustments while we were there. Once again, an exceptional experience made possible by Kensington."

Many went above and beyond to make our experience even more positive. From drivers, to guides, to hotel staff---we met some wonderful people that we can now call friends. Thank you Christine and Kensington tours for this once in a lifetime African adventure!"

"Christine, our family trip was ALL we wanted it to be. The hotel accommodations in the cities were GREAT. We needed to make some room assignment adjustments but that's to be expected with a large family with children and same names.
I don't know where/how ya'll got those guides but...KEEP'EM! In both Cape Town and Joberg the guys knew their cities and environs excellently. Their English was very good...so good in fact that several got the sarcasm and even joked some. I do apologize if we over-tipped. I relied on each family to tip their own driver but, I wasn't sure of their "sense of what was right" so I followed up with something for each.
Simbavati was "PERFECT". As much as Glenda and I really liked Ngala, I do not think they could have handled a family as well...UNLESS, they had accommodations we did not see.
Please rest assured when ever I plan to travel on a multi-dimensional trip in the future, for sure with a group, or maybe just Glenda and I, I'll be calling Kensington... Christine and Donna specifically. And most definitely, anytime I can recommend a travel professional, your company and you two will be mentioned by name!
Thank you again Christine...you presented us the exact trip we dreamed about for our family and your folks on the ground made it happen! I sincerely hope you, Donna and everyone else involved have a most Blessed Christmas and a wonderful, successful New Year!"

"Morocco has a lot to offer. Food, historic sites, craftsmen (rugs, jewelry, ceramics, furniture, etc.), natural beauty, roads and infrastructure, and a reasonably safe environment. Both Guide (Abdel) and Driver were excellent. Service-oriented, timely and easy going. Abdel was not afraid to speak his mind, offer suggestions and give us feedback on ideas. We enjoyed their company."

"A truly wonderful trip......first class accommodations and service in each venue....the guides were knowledgable and went out of their way to insure that we could see and understand Africa. Capetown is a fascinating city, Sabi Sands an extraordinary private game preserve, and Zimbabwe with Victoria Falls and the Victoria Falls Hotel a once in a lifetime experience. For those who want to visit Africa we enthusiastically recommend Kensington Tours. And Jolene Plant stayed with us in every step during the planning of our trip and itinerary. We saw as much of Africa as much as anyone can during our two weeks vacation."

"This was one of the most amazing trips that I have ever had. The custom tours and activities exceeded my expectations. I was traveling alone but felt safe and in good hands. The process of booking the trip with Lily Baffour was so easy and personal, especially with the constant communications from her up to my departure. Thank you Kensington Tours for an awesome experience. I will definitely use you for my next adventure!"

|Up in the down
|Reviewed By Andrew, 02 Dec 2014
There is nothing like down for warmth. I often get cool but then too hot in a jacket, this is a good compromise, core keeps warm but I can keep comfortable. Well made, doesn't leak feathers (so far), not too bulky. Recommended.
|Reviewed By Stuart, 23 Sep 2014
Warm, well made jacket. Extremely warm and at the price compared to the north face version, I don't see much of a visible difference. Very happy with it.
|What a bargain!
|Reviewed By Natalie, 23 Dec 2013
Purchased this fantastic gilet in the Cambridge Store today. My husband particularly wanted a Berghaus for the warmth and good quality. It is a lovely lightweight waistcoat that looks and feels stylish to wear.
|Fantastic gillet
|Reviewed By Susan, 17 Dec 2013
This product is extremely warm and comfortable to wear as a extra layer under an outer coat when needed but for those milder days is very warm when worn over a fleece top or a jumper. It is also very lightweight so you don't feel weighed down as with some extra layers
|Nice comfortable vest
|Reviewed By Lorraine, 17 Dec 2013
Despite some reviews sayIng that the feathers leak out through the stitching I found that buying a size larger that there is no pressure on the stitching so therefore no leakage. A lot of people probably buy this vest to fit snugly. If you buy a size larger, you will not have that pressure on the stitching. You will find this problem with polyester filling as we'll. so my suggestion is to buy larger. The jacket is just great and I am extremely happy with it. I highly recommend it.
|Very Warm

This is a great vest that keeps you very warm and gives freedom to move. Great to use in any situation.

I bought this vest with the £40 off deal and it's been excellent! The only down side is that I find feathers coming out of it now and again, but I guess that's inevitable. Would highly recommend!

|Shockingly POOR Vest..WARNING..
|Reviewed By Jeff, 10 Mar 2013
Purchased both the Black and the Grey Vest, MASSIVE MISTAKE. As some reviewers have already stated they "Leak feathers" constantly, forget about useing a backpack or sitting down for any length of time when wearing as even the slightest of pressure on your back and the feather leak constantly. As Cotswold are the only stockists I believe these Manaslu Vests are 2nd's or Fakes..There is no other explanation for such poor quality from Berghaus.
Comment from Cotwold Outdoor
|Posted By Customer Services, 14 Aug 2014
Hi Jeff, Thanks for your feedback. It is normal for some down to escape from this type of garment but if you feel that it was an unacceptable amount you would of course be able to return it to us, either in store or by mail to our returns department. The Manaslu Vest is made exclusively for us by Berghaus, which is why you have not seen them on sale anywhere else. Cotswold Outdoor do not sell fake goods.
|Great Value For Money!!!!
|Reviewed By carl, 17 Feb 2013
Bought this body warmer and use it most of the time! Great quality and well made! recommended to friends to get one and buy it from cotswolds due to great price and friendly and helpful service recieved!!!
|Great value for money, functional gilet
|Reviewed By Martin, 06 Feb 2013
The Manaslu vest ticks most boxes for a fucntional down gilet and at the reduced price of £70 is great value but a the full asking price of £110 it begins to cede ground to its major rivals, the North Face Nupste Vest and Rab Micolight. It is down but only duck down and feather mix compared with it's rivals' 100% goose down and as its fill power is lower, needs to be bulkier to be as warm. Although it is reasonably packable it won't pack into its own pocket nor does it come with a stuff sack which is a nuisance. Useful feature are the fleece collar, chest pocket, DWR finish, neck zip garage and slightly longer length than its rivals. The one thing that made me going looking for its rivals and be prepared to pay more though was the single panel on the shoulders which made it very bulky at the back of the neck and as well as the Michelin Man effect quilted vests always come with had a bit of a hunchback effect. Great value but not perfect.
|Okay for £70
|Reviewed By Steve, 18 Jan 2013
I've used my Manaslu Vest for several months and at the discounted price, it's about worth it. It fits well, is very comfortable and certainly warm. It's downside,mentioned by a few other reviewers, is it's "leaking" down. It's not only the stitches that the down comes through. Don't wear it over dark woollens as they will be speckled with white feathers and they do not come off easily! If it's for serious outdoor wear, I'd recommend considering a better-made alternative - maybe Rab. You get what you pay for. This vest seems to be made exclusively for Cotswold,in which case the full RRP of £110.00 is a little disingenuous.
|Excellent Gillet with great price!
|Reviewed By Hugh, 14 Dec 2012
I went into the Preston store to buy this Gillet and the service that i recieved was excellent. The staff were really helpful when i asked about the product and she was very knowledgable. The product is really nice, it doesnt only look good but also is very warm and comfortable. The price is great, at only £70 (couldnt find it anywhere else for cheaper). Overall, really good experiance, i would recomend it to anyone who is looking for a stylish, comfortable and cheap gillet.

|Excellent vest
|Reviewed By Alistair, 08 Jan 2012
I've bought a few different vests over the years and was looking to add a black one to my collection. My first stop was North Face and I was originally going in-store to buy a Nuptse 2 vest in black. Then I saw the offer on the Manaslu and thought I'd try it on. Firstly, the material has a nicer feel compared to the North Face vest and it is not as bulky but just as warm. The fit is snug and the soft finish fabric on the collar is also a nice touch. I'm really pleased with this purchase and with a reduction of £40 it represents really good value!
|Excellent Gillet /Vest
|Reviewed By Stephen, 07 Jan 2012
Superb quality and value for money at this price (£70) - available in black which I purchased. Been wanting one for a while and having a local shop with the offer - well.....!

Great insulating jacket keeps you warm on those freezing cold nights standing outside watching football for example. I found it very cosy and kept me very warm. Also great for wearing when hiking very good source of insulation kept me warm but not too sweaty. Just a great all round jacket. I Highly recommend it to anyone who would stand outside to watch sport or for an extra layer when hiking. Well worth £70!! Buy it when its cheap people.
|Comfortable warm vest
|Reviewed By Jonathan, 28 Nov 2011
I was originally going to buy a TNF Nupste vest but when I tried on this because of the offer price I was very impressed. The lining material is very comfortable and it has a good high collar also with a soft lining. The chest pocket is also useful and if you can get one at the offer price I'd highly recommend it.
|Perfect Choice!
|Reviewed By Mark, 02 Nov 2011
Dropped into the Belfast store with the intention of buying the North Face Vest. My size had sold out and so I decided to try Berghaus. Perfect choice - excellent fit, very warm and looks the part. You won't be disappointed. Mark
|Very warm vest
|Reviewed By Miroslaw, 29 Oct 2011
I was looking for The North Face vest but my size was out of stock. I decided then to try Berghaus Vest and I have to say that it was a really good choice. It is a very good quality and warm vest with deep pockets and fit perfectly with my Berghaus fleece. Highly recommended vest!!!

Kendric Burney replied with a simple "No."
When asked if he knew what a rouge was, the former Southwest High standout athlete and University of North Carolina cornerback wasn't aware of a scoring system used in the Canadian Football League — and not in American football — that awards one point to a team that kicks the ball into the end zone and the receiving team doesn't return it out.
"I'm definitely going to have to read the rule book," Burney said with a laugh. "I have to watch a lot of game film."
That's just a small price to pay for the 25-year-old Burney after he recently signed a two-year deal with the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL.
The 5-foot-9, 190-pound Burney is coming off his second stint with the Carolina Panthers' practice squad.
"My agent (Peter Schaffer) hit me up a while ago about it and I told him I'd think about it because I really wanted to play in the NFL and get another shot there," Burney said in a telephone interview Wednesday. "When the Panthers got a new general manager, I talked to the interim general manager and he told me that this (CFL) would be the best opportunity for me because I would definitely get to play.
"They (Alouettes) wanted to guarantee me a contract. I knew that was the best decision for me."
Burney said it's a relief making a professional football team's game-day roster after being a practice squad player with the Panthers and St. Louis Rams after graduating from UNC in 2011.
He also said the feedback he's received from CFL players has been positive.
"It's a big relief," he said. "Everybody has given me mixed (reactions) when I tell people I'm going there. But it's a chance to go play football and a lot of guys don't even get that opportunity. So I'm blessed to go play and I'm definitely big-time excited."
Last year the Alouettes went 11-7 and won the East Division before losing 27-20 in the Division finals of the playoffs to the Toronto Argonauts, who eventually won the Grey Cup, the CFL's version of the NFL's Super Bowl.
Burney, who had 210 tackles, 2 sacks and 11 interceptions at UNC, said the Alouettes start mini-camp on April 26 in
"We got mini-camp and I'll get welcomed into it for a week and then feed off that," Burney said. "You have receivers who can get a 10-yard head start, which is going to be different. You will have to adapt. But football is football."
But not only will Burney have to adjust to the different rules of the CFL, he will also have to adjust to living outside the
"I'm definitely nervous because I've never been that far from home," Burney said. "But I'm looking forward to it."

Believed to symbolize the life of a samurai in Japanese culture, the cherry blossom has long been celebrated. Hanami, a centuries-old practice of holding jubilant picnics and flower-viewing parties during blooming season, lasts from the end of March through early May.
Today, the beauty of this vernal icon can be found in gardens across North America.
Here are a few destinations where you can stroll through groves drenched in white and pink, and participate in thematic activities.
CALIFORNIA, San Francisco:
Established in 1967, the Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival will take place over two weekends, April 13-14 and 20-21. The festival is held in Japantown and celebrates the culture and diversity of the local Japanese American community, the oldest in the United States.
Many events and ceremonies are held, including taiko drum demonstrations, tea ceremonies, traditional singing and sword displays. The grand parade, held on the final Sunday, features mikoshi teams, dancers and colorful floats.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The thousands of low-income North Carolinians denied health insurance in a Republican-drafted measure that passed the House on Wednesday are left with few options for coverage.
Its a reality that Chiyanna Henry knows all too well. The Selma mother of three, the youngest of which is 22 months old, is among the 1.5 million uninsured in the state. Her husband receives health coverage through his IT job at a community college, but cant afford to cover the whole family at $900 a month. Im just praying, said Henry, 41.
The federal health care law anticipated covering people like Henry through Medicaid by expanding eligibility to anyone making less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $38,000 for a family of five. But Gov. Pat McCrory and Republican lawmakers are concerned about the potential cost to the state and are moving quickly to block the expansion.
Adam Searing, a health policy expert at the N.C. Justice Center, which advocates for the poor and opposes the legislation, said the hardest hit are low-income citizens who dont qualify for Medicaid.
They will continue to get expensive care in emergency rooms or limited care in overextended community health clinics, he said. They will get half the care a person with insurance receives and get sicker and die earlier than those insured.
The second component of the law, an online marketplace to purchase health insurance, will begin enrollment in October, but coverage wont begin until Jan. 1, 2014.
It cant come soon enough for Stephen Wissink, a 55-year-old cancer survivor. He cant find a reasonably priced policy, even with a subsidy from his employer, given his medical history. And now he needs more tests.
Until we get a health care exchange, Im kind of at wits end about what to do, said Wissink, who lives in Raleigh and works in advertising. I want to be able to afford health insurance to get relief from the pain of neurological damage, and if this stuff does come back, I want to catch it early.
The Medicaid expansion would have covered about 500,000 North Carolina residents. An additional 700,000 are expected to seek coverage through insurance exchanges.
The Affordable Care Act includes caps on how much insurance premiums in the exchange can cost. For those with incomes at 138 percent of poverty level, it is 2 percent of income. The sliding scale caps premiums at 9.5 percent of income for those at 400 percent of the federal poverty level, income equivalent to about $92,000 for a family of four.
But it doesnt include any assistance for those making below the poverty level, or about $11,000 for an individual, because the law presumed those people would be covered by the Medicaid expansion.
State loses control
The federal government will operate North Carolinas exchange in 2014 because the state missed a 2012 deadline to establish its own. And it would remain a federal entity under the law that has now passed the Senate and a preliminary House vote.
The state will pay the federal government $181 million annually to run the exchange.
By relinquishing control, the state will not have the authority to review insurance plans in the exchange marketplace for compliance with regulations nor the ability to mediate disputes between doctors, insurers and patients. The N.C. Department of Insurance gets 1,200 calls a month to a hotline from consumers seeking insurance help.
So basically the consumer, when they could have easily, quickly do what they do now, which is contact us will be calling 1-800-WASHINGTONDC (to talk to) someone that doesnt know North Carolina, doesnt know our people, doesnt have accountability to respond quickly, said Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin, a Democrat who favors a state-run exchange.
Republican lawmakers said they would consider ways to address Goodwins concerns. But they challenged the notion of a state-run exchange, contending that the federal law leaves little room for flexibility. Washington will dictate the exchange, said Rep. Justin Burr, an Albemarle Republican and co-chairman of the House health care committee. The partnership (model) and state-based exchange are really an illusion.
The legislation received preliminary House approval Wednesday by a 75 to 39 vote. In the floor debate, Republicans emphasized the cost and the troubles in the current Medicaid system as reasons not to move forward with the Medicaid expansion. As for the insurance exchange, Republicans have rejected it, saying they dont want to be part of implementing what they refer to as Obamacare.

Sequestration 2.0 would mean furloughs for DoD's entire civilian workforce
Thursday - 1/10/2013, 5:54am EST
When Congress pushed the pause button on sequestration last week, it also made some changes to how the automatic budget cuts would take place. And a new analysis suggests almost every civilian employee in the Defense Department would be forced to take a month of unpaid leave if the new version of sequestration isn't undone.
The projections come via the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. Todd Harrison, the think tank's senior fellow for defense budget studies already has warned that the previous version of sequestration, which Congress canceled just after the start of the new year, would have had a disproportionate impact on civilian workers.
Todd Harrison, senior fellow for defense budget studies, Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments
But under the new version of sequestration, things are even worse for the 791,000 civil servants in DoD. While the overall dollar amount the new version of sequestration would cut is smaller — $45 billion instead of $62 billion — the cuts now would be crammed into just seven months in fiscal 2013, a year in which DoD has already been burning through cash at a rate that assumes no cuts would be made.
"That cut comes off of the total level of funding for the year," Harrison said. "By March, DoD already will have spent five months worth of the money in those accounts, so they have to make up that 8.8 percent reduction in the remaining seven months of the year."
That means DoD would have to cut its payroll expenses from March through the end of September by 15 percent.
"If you're going to reduce your payroll expenses by 15 percent for the remainder of the year, that means you have to furlough virtually every single DoD civilian for the maximum amount of time you can under the law, which is one month," Harrison said.
Few other options
Pentagon officials also have warned about the prospect of civilian furloughs under sequestration, but without as much specificity, and department spokesman George Little told reporters this week that DoD has no immediate plans to start issuing furlough notices.
But Harrison said with regard to the operations and maintenance accounts that cover civilian payrolls, DoD would have no other option besides hiring freezes and furloughs. Since the department deliberately chose to delay its planning for sequestration until the last minute, the dire effects on the civilian workforce may have caught Pentagon planners somewhat by surprise, he said.
"I think it would be a good public service for DoD to continue that detailed planning, but also to go public with it," he said. "If everyone has to be furloughed by one month, it's not all going to happen at the same time, so go ahead and tell people who's going to be furloughed in the first month, who's going to be furloughed in the second month. I think that would help inform the public debate so we can make a good decision as a nation about what we want to do."
The civilian workforce cuts would be among the first effects the department would experience if sequestration happens, Harrison said. While the consequences for acquisition and defense contractors would be real, they wouldn't be immediate.
"Because on March 1, if you walk into a factory where they're working on a weapons system, all the work they're doing at that point is based on money that's been obligated already," he said.
Contracts would have to be renegotiated
Harrison assessed it's highly unlikely that any programs would be outright canceled. That's because under sequestration, DoD would not zero out any specific budget line item, it is just being reduced by around 9 percent across the board.
What he does expect to see a lot of are contract renegotiations because of the reduced quantities of goods and services the Pentagon will be able to buy. And when quantities go down, prices generally go up.
"I'll give you a great example: the KC-46A refueling tanker. We had a contract we signed with Boeing, and a rate at which we would buy those tankers. It's been reported that Boeing bid very competitively to win that contract and that they're losing money on the early phases of the contract," Harrison said. "When we have to go and renegotiate that contract, do you really think we're in a good position to maintain such a good price, or is Boeing going to walk out of that contract and be in a position where they're no longer losing money? There are some areas where it really is going to be bad for DoD if they have to sequester these accounts."
Regardless of how bad sequestration will be, Harrison thinks it's more likely to happen this time around than it was during the New Year's Eve negotiations. That's because the deadline to undo sequestration 2.0 now coincides with other elements of the second fiscal cliff — a potential debt default and a government shutdown — that many policy experts argue would be even more devastating than sequestration.
"We could face all these crises within the space of about a month. That's unique in American history, and it's what I hope we can avoid," Harrison said.
But that avoidance is especially unlikely if congressional negotiators maintain their insistence that increases in the federal debt ceiling be matched dollar-for-dollar with spending reductions, he said.
"If you want to increase the debt ceiling enough to give the federal government a year of operating time, that would be about $1 trillion. If you want to completely offset sequestration with other deficit reduction, that's another $1 trillion. Putting those two things on the same timeline doubles the problem," Harrison said. "I'm not confident that Congress can come up with $2 trillion in deficit reduction by that deadline. Let's keep in mind that with the fiscal cliff, what they ended up passing reduced the deficit by less than $1 trillion, and look how hard that was. I think that both parties may end up looking at sequestration and say, 'You know what, this is bad, this is not what we want, but it's probably better than anything we could negotiate with the other side.'"

PORTLAND The driver in the deadly Burnside hit-and-run last March changed her plea to guilty to manslaughter in court Monday and sobbed as she was sentenced to 75 months in prison.
Ashley Chavez and her five co-defendants have been charged for crimes associated with the death of 63-year-old Nancy Schoeffler. They all made plea deals Monday in the complicated, multi-state case.
Ashley Chavez said goodbye to her mother and that she loved her. I wish I could do the same, the victim's daughter, Solara Schoeffler said during the sentencing.
Nancy Schoeffler was found lying in the roadway on West Burnside Street at Southwest Tichner Drive just after 11 p.m. on March 31, according to Sgt. Pete Simpson of the Portland Police Bureau. She had been struck by a car that left the scene.
Chavez' sentence translates into just over 6 years and her license was also revoked for life. She admitted drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana at a Timbers game before getting behind the wheel that night.
She is truly sorry. She is truly sorry for what happened, Chavez' attorney said in court. Chavez wept during the sentencing as Schoeffler's family sat and watched.
Chavez fled Oregon after the hit-and-run and was eventually captured in Bellingham, Wash. Police said community tips led them to Chavez and her car.
Five other people also helped cover up the crime, including Chavez' boyfriend, Christopher Rhea, and her brother, Josh Chavez. Angela Kaps-Collins, a passenger in the car when Schoeffler was struck, was also arrested, along with her husband, Billy Collins and their co-worker, Jose Alberto Torres.
Schoeffler's family sat directly in front of Chavez during Monday's hearing. This has been devastating for our family, not just the loss of Nancy, but also the cover-up, they said, in a prepared statement.
Background: Pedestrian killed by hit-and-run driver on W Burnside Street
In court, Kaps-Collins pleaded guilty to hindering prosecution and was sentenced to 40 days in jail. Her husband pleaded guilty to the same charges and received a sentence of 30 days in jail. Rhea pleaded guilty to hindering prosecution and was sentenced to 40 days in jail and Chavez' brother was sentenced to 60 days in jail for hindering prosecution. All four were also ordered to serve 200 hours of community service and 3 years probation.
Torres pleaded guilty to tampering with physical evidence and was sentenced to 10 days in jail,100 hours of community service and 2 years probation. Investigators said he used car parts to alter the vehicle that hit Schoeffler.
More: Suspects arraigned in deadly Burnside hit-and-run
Investigators said the group tried to cover up the deadly crime by altering the car that hit Schoeffler and hiding it on Collins' property in Corbett. They said Rhea also helped Chavez flee out of the state.
This was one of the most complex and far reaching investigations that the traffic division has ever been involved in, said Sgt. Todd Davis with the Portland Police Bureau.

For NASCAR fans, David Pearson needs no introduction. He currently holds second place on NASCAR's all-time win list, and is the driver that chased Richard Petty to greatness. Petty himself says: "Pearson could beat you on a short track, he could beat you on a superspeedway, he could beat you on a road course, he could beat you on a dirt track. It didn't hurt as bad to lose to Pearson as it did to some of the others, because I knew how good he was." David Pearson was among the inaugural class of inductees to the NASCAR Hall of Fame, receiving the most votes from 50 of the 53 voters.
Speaking of the NASCAR Hall of Fame, this 1939 Ford tudor sedan is the very car that Pearson drove to the induction ceremony from his home in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Beginning his career in Fords, it is only fitting that a Ford should carry him to the Hall of Fame, and this one does it in style. A very mild custom, perhaps too conservative to even be called a hot rod, it is nonetheless an extremely clean and well-restored example built by one of the truly great drivers of our time. And as his personal car, you know that everything is fully sorted and works as it should; you don't win that many races driving inferior hardware, and Pearson's dedication to excellence definitely extends to his personal collection.
David Pearson is definitely not a trailer queen kind of guy, and this Ford, while extremely well restored, proudly shows signs of being driven. The paint was expertly applied over beautifully prepped Henry Ford steel, and has a deep, soft luster that looks highly authentic on the 72 year old body. The color is probably a pretty good approximation of Garnet Maroon, which was on the color palette for 1939 despite Henry Ford's objection to red paints. History is next to impossible to restore into a car, so while some folks may see paint with some years behind it, it's absolutely unthinkable to consider changing it, and I'm sure Mr. Pearson would agree. It also means that you won't be afraid to drive it, which is what this car was designed to do.
All the original trim remains in place as well—as I said, this isn't a custom or a resto-mod by any stretch of the imagination. The stainless is brilliantly polished, and the chrome bumpers, like the paint, have a nice patina that you just can't duplicate. Fitted with accessories like fog lights, dual side mirrors, and bumper guards, this is a nicely dressed car that isn't over-done. The iconic teardrop-shaped headlights and tail lamps are originals, not reproductions, and you can see why they've become so popular with modern hot-rodders: they're gorgeous. All the glass is good, with no signs of delamination or bubbling that often happens with older pieces.
The engine is a correct 24-stud flathead V8 with aluminum heads and a 2-barrel Stromberg carburetor perched way up top. Making 90 horsepower (although everyone collectively refers to the 221 motors as "85 horsepower") with a relatively tame 6.12:1 compression ratio, it remained a durable, torque powerplant whose adaptability made it a favorite of racers like Pierson in the early days of motorsports. It has undoubtedly been rebuilt, and probably sports a few hot-rodding tricks inside if you can believe the cam cards that accompany the car. The block has been painted to match the body, the heads are raw aluminum, and the original front-mounted distributor remains. Pearson's ownership also practically guarantees that the flathead's overheating issues have been completely resolved, and the original six volt generator is a big vote of confidence for the original electrical system. Those radiator hoses look like they may be NOS pieces with original ink stampings on them, but with reproductions being as good as they are today, it's hard to be certain.
The original 3-speed manual still lives behind the engine and shifts beautifully, driving the original banjo-style rear end. The floors are finished in body color, while the frame and suspension components are satin black. Up front, the beam axle and transverse leaf spring remains, with the sole upgrade being a set of modern tube shocks. The same holds true out back: a leaf spring augmented by a set of coil over tubular shocks to help maintain right height and perhaps add a little extra grip in the corners. Four-wheel drums were finally hydraulically actuated in 1938, a welcome addition and a big performance upgrade for Ford fans. There's also a dual exhaust system tucked neatly up into the frame rails, apparently installed when the car was new and giving the flathead its traditional sound through a pair of chrome tips under the rear bumper. It all rides on a set of 16-inch Ford steel artillery wheels wearing V8 hubcaps and trim rings, along with a set of 600-16 wide whitewall bias ply tires with tubes.
The warm, welcoming interior looks straight of pre-war America, complete with simple fabrics, tasteful use of wood graining on the dash, and lovely art deco gauge faces. All the Bakelite plastic knobs and handles remain in excellent condition, and the banjo steering wheel is a work of art. The seats have obviously been reupholstered, but the work is appropriate to the vintage of the car, and it's surprisingly comfortable, too, with vast legroom in back. Radios were rare in 1939, and this car has provisions for one, but it was never installed, however on Deluxe models, a clock in the glove box lid was standard equipment. A rubber floor mat protects the carpets up front, fitted beautifully around the shifter that extends gracefully up from the floor. The trunk is surprisingly spacious given the car's fastback profile, and holds a matching spare tire and wheel assembly.
Documentation includes an original owner's manual, a bunch of period Ford brochures and advertisements, as well as original cam cards for the Isky cam that is undoubtedly living in the engine. There's also a spare oil filter cartridge, because you're going to want to drive this car every chance you get.
If this were just a nice 1939 Ford Deluxe tudor, I'd say that it's a rare find in this condition—most have been cut up into hot rods. But adding in the David Pearson connection and the fact that it is a very well-known car adds tremendously to its value. The '39 Ford was apparently Pearson's favorite model, as RK Motors Charlotte has now featured two of his vehicles, and both of them are benchmark cars for traditional and tasteful modifications. And as Mr. Pearson himself demonstrated, this is still an excellent driver that you should not hesitate to jump in and drive whenever the opportunity presents itself. If you're a '39 Ford fan, a NASCAR fan, or a David Pearson fan (or all three!), you owe it to yourself to put this lovely tudor sedan in your collection today. Call now!

Vision Statement (English), Francais, Português
The Future of Biodiversity in Africa (Read the full report here)
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
September 2008
Biodiversity remains the fundamental basis of Africa's development, and underpins the well-being of current and future generations. With swelling human demand upon natural resources and inadequate institutional infrastructure, however, Africa has witnessed the destruction and degradation of vast natural areas, from forests and savannahs to freshwater and marine areas. Nevertheless, significant areas in Africa still remain where the habitat is relatively intact, and Africa holds much of the world's biodiversity and natural resources. However, climate change, ongoing population growth till late in the century and globalization of trade pose serious threats for the future. But there are also opportunities which we must seize, building on existing successful approaches to biodiversity conservation as well as new innovation, to take urgent and renewed action. For the great majority of African's, biodiversity represents the only lifeline that can no longer be ignored.
Experts in biodiversity conservation from across Africa, convened by IUCN and the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group in Dar es Salaam on September 18-20, 2008, articulated the following vision for the future of biodiversity in Africa, and call upon donors and partners to join them in realizing this vision.
By 2025, environmental degradation and biodiversity loss in Africa have been significantly slowed, people and nature are adapting to climate change, and species and ecosystem services are providing a foundation for human welfare in a society committed to sustainable economic development and equitable sharing of natural resource benefits
A. Mainstream biodiversity in human well-being and development agendas
B. Promote good conservation practices
C. Strengthen the role of Social and Development institutions in Biodiversity Conservation and Human Well-Being
This effort was funded by the Biodiversity Analysis and Technical Support (BATS) for USAID/Africa Program of the U.S. Agency for International Development, Bureau for Africa, Office of Sustainable Development (AFR/SD). Program partners include Chemonics International Inc., U.S. Forest Service/International Programs and the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group. Also see the ABCG Meeting on "Mapping Future Trends and Interventions for Biodiversity Conservation in Africa" and the Chemonics International publication, Protecting Hard-Won Ground.
In December 2008, ABCG organized a follow on session on "The Future of Biodiversity in Africa" at the National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE) Conference on "Biodiversity in a Rapidly Changing World". See the Recommendatons put forth for the incoming Obama Administration and others for action on conservation in Africa.
In January 2009, ABCG led an organized discussion at the Society for Conservation Biology-Africa Section Conference in Ghana to get feedback on the Dar Vision Statement and how to turn it into policy interventions. See the powerpoint presented on "The Future of Biology in Africa: Turning the Dar Vision into Policy Initiatives".

Very pretty and elegant
I really loved both the seals and labels. The seals are really pretty and matched the design of my Save the Date cards. The labels are very elegant looking. I did have a bit of a hard time fitting both of our names on the labels though they did turn out very nice, it just took a little fine-tuning. Thank You MagnetStreet, looking forward to my next order with you

text: This line of true, ocean-going passagemakers is offered by Pacific Asian Enterprises in Dana Point, California, which closely supervises the production of the power yachts in Taiwan. Nordhavns are full-displacement motor vessels with exceptional range and seakeeping ability. Each model–from the Nordhavn 40 on the low end to the 120-foot flagship–is built stout and tough and designed to punch through heavy head seas and track down swell as if on rails. Nordhavns attract owners with serious cruising plans, those who are extremely comfortable traveling blue water for extended periods of time. These owners are proud of the Nordhavn history, too. In 1989, for instance, the Nordhavn N46 debuted as the first production passagemaker. More than 80 of those groundbreaking hulls were sold. Today, many of those boats continue to carry their current owners to all corners of the globe.

SAAC to host second annual 'Dry Night'
February 24, 2009
Misenheimer, NC -- The Student Athletic Advisory Committee (SAAC) at Pfeiffer will sponsor its second annual 'Dry Night' beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday, March 20. 'Dry Night' is held to promote an evening of substance-free activities and raises awareness about the negative impact of underage drinking and alcohol abuse.
The event will be held from 6 p.m. until 1 a.m. in the Merner Gym on the Misenheimer campus. Cost for the event is $5 in advance and $7 the night of the event. All proceeds will benefit Make-A-Wish, an organization that has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work.
"This event is an opportunity to unite the campus and community for a good cause while offering a night of substance-free entertainment to students," said Suzie Hinman, one of the event organizers and member of SAAC, a student-led organization dedicated to promoting a positive student-athlete image. "During 'Dry Night' SAAC hopes no alcohol will be consumed and students are encouraged to donate the money they would have spent on alcohol to Make-A-Wish. We also want this event to shed light on the critical issue of underage drinking and substance abuse."
Drinking among college students and other 18-to-24-year-olds has increased since 1998 and contributes to an estimated 1,700 alcohol-related unintentional student deaths per year, according to the latest National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism report. Annually, more than 696,000 students in the same age category are assaulted by another student who was drinking, and more than 97,000 students are victims of alcohol-related sexual assaults.
"The college years represent a period for high risk drinking behaviors and one of the great things about Pfeiffer is the commitment of our students to shape the campus culture into one that is a source of pride," said Daryl Bruner, MA, LPC, NCC, director of counseling services at Pfeiffer. "Dry Night is a great example of our students' awareness of this national trend, and then responding locally to bring about a positive change by helping each other make responsible choices. It is really exciting to see our student-athletes taking the lead for this event."
For more information about 'Dry Night' and the evening's activities, contact Micki Thompson at (704) 463-3221.

You will be followed quite closely during the first year after your transplant, which will include frequent lab and clinic visits. One thing that your coordinator will stress is the importance of taking all your anti-rejection medications every day, preferably at the same time each day.
