Tips on feeding birds in your neighborhood
Mike Kean offers the following suggestions for people who'd like to feed the birds in their area.
- Learn about local birds. Observe what types of birds you see in your area and think about which ones you would like to draw in and feed. Learn what your target birds prefer to eat.
- Ask for help. People who do this love to help.
- Use the Internet. Chat groups for your types of birds are incredibly helpful. Jump on one and ask how do I start? Keith Krider's bluebird discussion group is good. Websites like enature.com and birds.cornell.edu, and others can teach you bird identification and what different species prefer before you buy food and houses for them.
- Remember these things that are more important than the food you offer: water, shelter, nesting locations and protection from predators
- Pick feeder locations away from nesting areas.
- Start simple. Stick with the basics: black-oil sunflower, thistle, suet, nectar and millet. Birds attracted to feeders will go for at least one of these.
- Think cheap. Simple less decorative feeders and birdbaths are less expensive. Shop end of season sales. Buy seed in bulk quantities.

"NBC Bay Area Expands Investigative Reporting Capabilities – Award-Winning Investigative Reporter Tony Kovaleski To Lead New Investigative Team – Jenna Susko Joins Station As Investigative Reporter
SAN JOSE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2011 — NBC Bay Area today announced that it has added two investigative reporters to the station's news staff, significantly increasing the station's investigative reporting capabilities in advance of launching a new unit early next year.
Bay Area native Tony Kovaleski joins NBC Bay Area to lead the station's investigative team after working at television stations in Phoenix, Houston and Denver. While in Denver, Kovaleski exposed problems with emergency services at Denver's airport and uncovered inappropriate gifts given to government appointees. Kovaleski's reports resulted in significant changes in airport operations and in tighter regulations governing gifts and travel. As the winner of the prestigious Alfred I. DuPont-Columbia award in 2010, the national Edward R. Murrow Award for Investigative Journalism, the Sigma Delta Chi award, the National Headliner award and more than 26 Emmy Awards including this year's Emmy for Investigative Journalism, he is considered one of the country's premiere investigative reporters. Kovaleski is a graduate of San Jose State University with a degree in Journalism.
Investigative reporter Jenna Susko comes to NBC Bay Area after working at television stations in the southeastern United States. She has built a reputation for quality investigative reporting with stories about poor oversight of FEMA funds across the Gulf Coast, mismanagement in a court system allowing criminals to easily get cases dismissed and security flaws at a local school system. Susko has a degree from Florida State University in Communications and English Literature.
"As we increase our investment in high-quality local journalism, we are very pleased to welcome these two investigative journalists to the Bay Area and into our newsroom," said Richard Cerussi, President and General Manager of NBC Bay Area. "Tony and Jenna are the first of many new team members who will allow us to bring Bay Area viewers more of the kind of in-depth investigations that result in positive change."

Strong fundamentals seen to fuel PH market recovery
popular .
Local stocks may consolidate in the next few months but strong fundamentals amid global uncertainties could fuel a main index recovery to 6,800 this year, a fund manager from Sun Life of Canada said.
He added that the index was expected to retest previous record highs by next year.
Michael Gerard Enriquez, chief investment officer at the Philippine unit of the global insurance giant, told reporters on Thursday that the recent sell-off in the stock market was "overdone." He said strong fundamentals should enable the market to regain focus, especially when the unwinding of quantitative easing (QE) in the United States was fully factored in.
Enriquez estimated that about $300 million, or a third of the foreign funds that rode on the local market's runup earlier, had now exited while the bulk would be "long-only" funds. Based on indications from foreign brokers, he said the recent shakeout had uncovered good values and was now attracting bargain-hunters.
"The market run-up was mainly driven by good fundamentals, with hedge funds pushing asset prices higher because of the QE. If you take that away—the froth as we call it—we're back to fundamentals," Enriquez said.
"We will see the markets moving up again once we see clarity on second-quarter earnings," he said. Lackluster trading is seen through the "ghost month" (Aug. 7 to Sept. 4, 2013). After this, Enriquez said the PSEi could start regaining traction.
The "ghost month" refers to a period in the Lunar calendar that is believed by Asians to be an unlucky time to make big moves such as acquiring a property, getting married or investing.
Sun Life sees local corporate earnings rising by an average of 12-15 percent this year but Enriquez said that if second-quarter results would turn out better than expected, the earnings growth projection could be increased to 16 percent.
Given the steep decline in the stock market recently, he said a "realistic" Philippine Stock exchange index target this year would be 6,800 and the retesting of the recent highs could occur by next year.
At the recent bottom close of 5,800, Enriquez estimated that investors were willing to pay 15 times projected earnings compared to the price to earnings (P/E) ratio of as high as 22x when the index peaked at about 7,400.

Allons, enfants de la patrie, le jour de Michelin est arrivé! That's right, enfants, the new New York Michelin rankings came out yesterday, and it's good to be Per Se, Le Bernardin, or Jean Georges — the city's only three-star establishments. There are plenty of reasons for people to be happy, but also plenty of things to grumble about. Down on Grub Street, Josh Ozersky gives his take on the red book's choices — and he gets some chefs, including starry Eric Ripert, to weigh in, too.

"As we increasingly seek to reconnect to our agrarian roots and restore our relationship with the land, we need guides who have been down the path before us and already negotiated some of the tangles along the way. There is no better guide than David Buchanan. Taste, Memory is the captivating work of a writer who is alert to the world around him and ready to learn from it. Buchanan's elegant celebration of the 'ongoing conversation', as he calls it, between generations of heirloom food plants and the families that have lovingly kept them alive, will inspire a new generation to nurture the happy marriages of plants and place that make communities lively, resilient, and deeply meaningful."—Rowan Jacobsen, author of Fruitless Fall and American Terroir
—Rowan Jacobsen, author of Fruitless Fall and American Terroir
One of Amazon.com's Ten Best Food Lit Books of 2012!
Taste, Memory traces the experiences of modern-day explorers who rediscover culturally rich forgotten foods and return them to our tables for all to experience and savor.
In Taste, Memory author David Buchanan explores questions fundamental to the future of food and farming. How can we strike a balance between preserving the past, maintaining valuable agricultural and culinary traditions, and looking ahead to breed new plants? What place does a cantankerous old pear or too-delicate strawberry deserve in our gardens, farms, and markets? To what extent should growers value efficiency and uniformity over matters of taste, ecology, or regional identity?
While living in Washington State in the early nineties, Buchanan learned about the heritage food movement and began growing fruit trees, grains, and vegetables. After moving home to New England, however, he left behind his plant collection and for several years stopped gardening. In 2005, inspired by the revival of interest in regional food and culinary traditions, Buchanan borrowed a few rows of growing space at a farm near his home in Portland, Maine, where he resumed collecting. By 2012 he had expanded to two acres, started a nursery and small business, and discovered creative ways to preserve rare foods. In Taste, Memory Buchanan shares stories of slightly obsessive urban gardeners, preservationists, environmentalists, farmers, and passionate cooks, and weaves anecdotes of his personal journey with profiles of leaders in the movement to defend agricultural biodiversity.
Taste, Memory begins and ends with a simple premise: that a healthy food system depends on matching diverse plants and animals to the demands of land and climate. In this sense of place lies the true meaning of local food.
David Buchanan is the author of Taste, Memory. He planted his first gardens in central Washington State more than 20 years ago, after learning about the heritage food movement through the Seed Savers Exchange. He has worked for farms, ranches, and nurseries; operated a landscape design company specializing in native plant restoration; managed an educational farm for a community nonprofit; and helped found the Portland, Maine, chapter of Slow Food USA. He oversees production for Old Ocean House Farms in Cape Elizabeth, where he grows more than 250 varieties of fruit as well as herbs and heirloom vegetables. Currently he ...

Nail polish with names like Gunpowder and Trailer Park may not be descriptive, but studies show that products, particularly fashion or food, with imaginative names can entice consumers by forcing them to try to make the connection between the name and a flavor or color. "When Crayola comes out with names that don't describe the color of crayons, that is just astonishing," one researcher said.

Spiral Galaxy NGC 4945
September 3, 2009
Seen edge-on, observations of NGC 4945 suggest that this hive of stars is a spiral galaxy much like our own Milky Way, with swirling, luminous arms and a bar-shaped center. Sites of active star formation, known as H II regions, are seen prominently in the image, appearing bright pink. These resemblances aside, NGC 4945 has a brighter center that likely harbors a supermassive black hole, which is devouring reams of matter and blasting energy out into space. NGC 4945 is about 13 million light-years away in the constellation of Centaurus (the Centaur) and is beautifully revealed in this image taken with data in five bands (B, V, R, H-alpha and S II) with the 2.2-meter MPG/ESO telescope at La Silla. The field of view is 30 x 30 arcminutes. North is up, East is to the left.

|ACT Party profile
Jamie Whyte is a New Zealand politician who is a former leader of ACT New Zealand, a free market political party of New Zealand, and unsuccessfully contested the Pakuranga electorate in the 2014 general election.[1] At the election, Whyte held the first position on the party list, but Act did not achieve enough party votes to secure any list seats.[2] Soon after the 2014 general election, he resigned from the leadership of ACT.[3]
Personal life[edit]
Whyte was born in Auckland, New Zealand. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Auckland.[4] He then moved to the UK to study for an M.Phil and Ph.D at St John's College, Cambridge. Upon graduation, he remained for three years as a research fellow at Corpus Christi College and temporarily lectured in the Philosophy faculty. He then left academia and took up a job with the New York-based management-consultancy firm Oliver Wyman.[5]
Before politics[edit]
Whyte has worked as a management consultant, as a foreign currency trader and as a philosophy lecturer at Cambridge University.[2] In 1991 he won the Analysis Journal prize for the best article by a philosopher under the age of 30.[6]
Since 2004, Whyte has written for general audiences, and his books and articles typically attempt to expose shoddy reasoning, especially by politicians. In 2006 he won the Reason Foundation Bastiat Prize for journalism (jointly with Tim Harford of the Financial Times) and in 2010 he was named runner up.[7] In June 2014, Whyte won the Institute of Economic Affairs Arthur Seldon Memorial Award for Excellence for Quack Policy.[8]
He is the author of Crimes Against Logic (titled Bad Thoughts: A Guide to Clear Thinking in the UK; 2004), A Load of Blair (2005), Free Thoughts (2012) and Quack Policy (2013) and has also written columns for many notable publications, including The Times, City A.M., Standpoint, Financial Times and The Wall Street Journal.
Political career[edit]
In his youth, Whyte was a campaign volunteer for Bob Jones' New Zealand Party in the 1984 general election.[9]
Despite no prior experience in political office, at a board meeting in February 2014, Whyte was elected to the ACT party's leadership, beating former MP, John Boscawen. At the same meeting, David Seymour was chosen as ACT's candidate for the Epsom electorate[10] and Kenneth Wang was later elected as Whyte's deputy leader in April 2014.[11]
In the 2014 general election, ACT only won enough votes to be represented by David Seymour in the Epsom electorate. After the election, on 3 October 2014 Whyte resigned from the leadership of the party, saying: "Clearly, I make this announcement with regret, however the election result is clear, and I must now turn to my career and my family." He was replaced as ACT leader by David Seymour on the day of his resignation.[3]
Whyte's political philosophy is classical liberalism, in the tradition of Friedrich Hayek.[12]

From an article in Foreign Policy: "In May, the White House leaked word that it would start shifting drone operations from the shadows of the CIA to the relative sunlight of the Defense Department in an effort to be more transparent about the controversial targeted killing program. But six months later, the so-called migration of those operations has stalled, and it is now unlikely to happen anytime soon, Foreign Policy has learned."

deferred tax assets in the United States, which are primarily
comprised of tax loss carry forwards, and the determination that the
likelihood that certain deferred tax assets will be realized has
decreased because the Company expects future projected taxable income
in the United States will be lower as a result of increased interest
expense resulting from the term loan entered into as part of the
acquisition of Solectron. During the three and nine-month periods
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company also recognized tax
benefits related to its restructuring and other activities, and
amortization of intangible assets.
During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2006, the Company
also recognized $1.3 million in tax benefits related to the
amortization of intangible assets attributable to discontinued
operations. These tax benefits were offset by $10.0 million in tax
expense attributable to discontinued operations associated with the
gain recognized on the divestiture of the Company's Software
Development and Solutions business during the nine-month period ended
December 31, 2006. Tax benefits and expense attributable to
discontinued operations are included as tax adjustments in the
Company's reconciliation of GAAP net income (loss) to non-GAAP net
income, but are not included in the Company's reconciliation of GAAP

28 year old woman | New York, NY, USA | Seeking men 27-35 within 10 miles
From Chicago to NYC, a city girl and her pup exploring the world, chasing dreams, and looking for love.
I am a girl with Midwestern charm and a big city attitude looking for a guy who can make me laugh. Like EVERYONE, I value my friends and family and I love to travel and cook... Blah blah blah. To be more specific: I have awesome relationships with my two littlest cousins- they are the most loving, interesting little people on the Earth and I look to them to lift me up when the world gets too stressful. I talk to my siblings and my parents daily, we exchange a lot of emojis. My best friends are my sorority sisters I met at KU. Don't worry, I don't snap my fingers or flip my hair (that much). In terms of travel, I don't "have a passport with lots of stamps!" because well, I don't own a passport. Do I want one? Yes. And I will get one soon because I plan on taking an international marketing course next summer in Paris. I have, however, lived all over the United States (rather than an army brat, I'm an HR kid). I've had the chance to see a lot of amazing places and find relocating easy st this point since I'm a seasoned professional. As for cooking- I am pro at waffles and ravioli. That being said, laundry is my specialty. One day, I want a house with a TOYALLY BITCHIN' laundry room- one that will allow me to implement my amazing skills. I can turn nasty locker room gym clothes into garments that would impress the Queen. Moving on from the basics... I am a student at FIT- a goal I've been working towards for years now. I eat, sleep, and breathe fashion, More of an artistic way, in that it drives me to be productive and creative. I attend school during the week but also have a good amount of extra time to explore NYC. I take my pup out to dinner with me once or twice a week so I can try out new places- so if you see a girl alone at a restaurant with a shih tzu, that's me- come say hi. If you're into ice cream sandwiches, reality TV, a fancy night out once in a while, Christmas trees, college game day, and fluffy dogs that resemble a teddy bear then I may be what you're looking for. I'll be your silly, ambitious, talkative blonde gal- you'll be my honest, charismatic, reliable guy. We'll hold hands.
