PORTLAND,Ore. -- Portland BMX riders are fighting to keep a trail system they built more than a decade ago. But the state says it's an illegal course built on private property.
Brad Tibbet and his fellow riders have traded in their bikes for trash bags. Instead of riding their favorite trails and jumps, they're cleaning them.
Police came out here and told us we can t be digging or riding them, explained Tibbet.
That was Tuesday. The order came as a shock to Tibbet and many in the BMX community who've been building and riding these trails since the early 90s.
Recently some neighbors in the area expressed concern about the increased activity and damage to the trees. Keller Galvin says she likes that the trails give kids a place to recreate, but she worries about the trees in the area.
Some beautiful cedars that are right in the area that I think are being damaged by constant digging and moving of the dirt around, Galvin said.
The trails run across land owned by both the Grotto and ODOT. ODOT says it's an issue of liability.
The state's liable for anybody back on these trails and the fact they ve been here for some time is immaterial to the conversation, said Brad Wurfel ODOT Spokesman.
The Grotto issued this statement about the trail saying, through the years it hasn t been a problem... but it has grown beyond our expectations and has become a nuisance.... there should be no trespassing.
Shad Johnson, owner of GOODS BMX Shop, has helped maintain the trails since the mid 90s. He says before they were there the area was a hotbed for crime.
We've had neighbors across the street happy we're keeping the transients out, some of the prostitution and stuff, said Johnson.
For now Johnson and his fellow riders will have to stay out too. But they vow to fight for their work or at least for a compromise.

From Susan Casey, bestselling author of The Devil's Teeth, an astonishing book about colossal, ship-swallowing rogue waves and the surfers who seek them out.
For centuries, mariners have spun tales of gargantuan waves, 100-feet high or taller. Until recently scientists dismissed these stories—waves that high would seem to violate the laws of physics. But in the past few decades, as a startling number of ships vanished and new evidence has emerged, oceanographers… (plus)

Keeper brought in as cover
Wolves are completing a deal to bring in Marian Kello on a short term loan as goalkeeping cover until the end of the season.
The 30-year-old gloveman, who made his name making almost a century of appearances for Hearts from 2008 to 2012, will join on an emergency loan subject to international clearance.
Kello is a free agent having most recently played in Romania with FC Astra Giurgiu, the club he left in December.
He also spent a spell on trial at Wolves at the start of this season and will battle it out with Aaron McCarey as cover for Dorus De Vries.
"We're in the middle of signing Marian as cover for the rest of the season," said boss Dean Saunders.
"Obviously having lost Carl we needed some cover incase Dorus gets injured and have recalled Aaron (McCarey) from Walsall.
"Marian is an experienced goalkeeper and a Slovakian international and if he has to step in he will be able to deal with it.
"Aaron will probably be on the bench on Saturday but we need the extra cover for the final eight games of the season."
Kello added: "This is a new challenge for me and I am looking forward to being here.
"I know the club are in a difficult position which is unfortunate but from what I have seen since coming back the team have the spirit and the quality to stay in the Championship."

Neutral Territory Ch. 01byPS_Lopez©
Three commuters stood under the shelter, angling their umbrellas against the windblown rain while I contemplated the "ALL MATTRESSES $199!" sign on the window of the store across the street. "Chaperoning" my sister didn't usually send me out in the rain, but I'd gotten tired of listening to my sister and her current boyfriend coo to one another, and it hadn't been raining when I reached this bus stop, my favorite destination for my daily walks. Now, my coat was nice and damp, and I expected my clothes to be a little wet when I reached home if I started back now.
So I headed back. It was a rather long walk, and I walked it slowly. By the time I reached the building where our condo was, I was indeed soaked to the skin. I squelched across the lobby, smiling a little at the attention the noise garnered from those present. In addition to mailboxes and a security station, the lobby had a couple arrangements of furniture and different tenants, myself included, came down to sit and read or watch traffic passing by outside the windows. I'd met no few of our neighbors this way and waved at one I recognized. She smiled and waved back, went still a moment, then beckoned me over.
I wasn't really curious, but I went over anyway. I had nothing to do, so stopping to chat with her couldn't interrupt anything. Besides, she was looking out for me. She'd indicated more than one tenant who wouldn't be too friendly to me already, and I expected her to have more such information, and I did hold that in high value. If I knew who to expect to be hateful, I wouldn't be surprised.
"Hello, Tina," I said as I came to stand beside the chair she sat in.
She flipped the magazine she'd been reading over so it lay open face down on her left thigh. "You are soaking."
I raised one hand to waist level and looked at the palm side. "I don't think so." I smiled a little. "My fingers aren't wrinkled yet. I think I should go back out there."
Tina laughed. She tugged on my sleeve, so I knelt beside the chair. Once I had, she leaned over.
"See the guy in the green tee with the Green Lantern insignia on it?"
I gave a brief glance around the lobby and spotted the guy she'd indicated sitting at one end of the sofa closest to the windows. He appeared to be looking out the window, people-watching. Or daydreaming. I couldn't tell which.
"Yeah." I averted my gaze quickly once I'd identified him.
"He moved in last week." Tina grinned and added, "And he's gay."
I eyed her. "You trying to set me up?"
"No, not really. But he's two floors up from you in a nineteen."
I sighed. "Why do you care?" I was only mildly exasperated. I didn't need help finding a sex life. I did quite well enough on my own.
"Just thought you might be interested." She adopted an expression of innocence.
I looked at the man she'd indicated again, this time giving him a better examination. He'd shifted a little on the sofa and now read a book, giving me a better view of himself. Neatly-trimmed blond hair. Not chiseled features, from what I could see, but not so weak he lacked a chin. He looked about average in body, could have been fit under that tee; his upper arms certainly didn't look weak, though they weren't totally buffed out, either.
"Whatcha think?"
I affected disinterest without considering too deeply why I thought I had to. "Passable." I returned my gaze to Tina.
"Aw," she said, disappointed that her interest in seeing me coupled with this newcomer wasn't shared by myself. She sighed. "Oh, well, it was worth a try."
I chuckled. "I don't blame you for trying." I rose. "I'm going home to try and scare off my sister's boyfriend."
She laughed at that. I smiled at her and noticed the man she'd pointed out to me looking in our direction when I raised my head. For a moment, I couldn't look away from him, then he bowed his head. I sighed and headed over to the elevator. Maybe some other time.
Too much baking. It was my one downfall. I maneuvered half the apple cobbler I'd made into a plastic container. Tina wouldn't be able to eat it, but she'd know someone who could, and if I kept it all here, I'd gain another five pounds. I'd already eaten my way through four dozen cookies and about thirty chocolate-chocolate chip cupcakes with icing so fattening I was still surprised that I didn't have saddlebags.
Oddly, my baking spree--just the baking part--didn't make me feel guilty at all. It was one of the things on my dad's list of things that he thought should have told him I was gay. Instead, the act of making all these sweet things had just comforted me, but I figured it was just because it reminded me of Grandma. She was the one who'd taught me to bake, and she was actually quite pissed at Dad for kicking me out. She was also the only reason why I had a place to live now.
I pressed the lid down onto the container, then did the same with the lid to the glass baking pan the remainder of the cobbler was in. I put the lot still in the pan in my fridge and sighed as I picked up the plastic container. If nothing else, this would do two things for me: get me out of the apartment and perhaps force me into associating with somebody else. I couldn't be depressed forever.
After locking up my place, I took the cobbler with me down to Tina's. She didn't make me wait long, and looked down at the container I held.
"What's that?" she asked.
"Cobbler made with sugar."
"Oh, too bad." She looked up at me, clearly disappointed. "Next time you decide to make some, come get some sweetener from me."
"Give some to me now and I'll make you whatever you want. I still have plenty of apples."
She left me at the door to fetch her artificial sweetener of choice and returned with a new bag of it. "Here you go." She set it on top of the container.
"Thanks. You have any idea of anybody who'd appreciate half a pan of cobbler?"
Tina smiled. "I might have a couple ideas."
I chuckled at her teasing. "Who?"
"Well," she said slowly, smiling and tilting her head to the side. It made her look mischievous. "There's somebody in apartment eight sixteen who just might gobble it all up."
"Do I get a name?"
She chuckled. "That would be giving you an unfair advantage. You go now."
"What if this person doesn't accept it?"
"Oh, I'm sure they will." She grinned and wiggled her fingers. "Bye."
I stared at the numbers on her door for a few seconds after she shut it, then sighed and headed back to the elevator. Eight sixteen, she'd said. That was two floors up.
I felt too glum to be nervous. Besides, I was sure Tina wouldn't send me to somebody who'd denounce me. And anyway, I didn't need to say anything about myself. Handing over the cobbler would be enough. I thought my Dad was right about one thing. How many average straight men baked for fun?
When I reached eight sixteen, I knocked. Knowing my luck, the condo's occupant wouldn't be home and I'd be stuck asking Tina for another person to give away my cobbler to. But the door opened, and the man who had answered was the same guy I'd seen her talking to yesterday. I swallowed.
"Um, hi," I said. "This is going to sound really stupid, but I made some apple cobbler, and Tina said you might like it since she can't eat it."
He looked down at the items I held. The bag of sweetener rocked on top of the plastic container as I shifted my arms a little. When I raised my gaze again, I found him looking at me.
"I'm Silas. Want to come in?"
I blinked, surprised by the invitation. "Uh, yeah." Why not? I had nothing to lose and might possibly gain a friend out of this. "I'm Geoffrey, but call me Geoff."
Silas smiled. "Okay, Geoff." He opened the door wider.
I stepped in with more spirit than I felt and watched him shut the door in my wake. When he turned to face me, he smiled again, and this time I felt a little like the worm in the bird's beak. What had I gotten myself into?
"The kitchen's over here." He made a beckoning motion then headed for the kitchen.
I followed, unable to find a way to make a hasty departure. Actually, I felt torn between the desire to run away and an odd compulsion to stick around. I felt I could be certain that Tina wouldn't have sent me to someone who'd mistreat me, but I wasn't certain I wanted to trust this man. There was something about him that made me just a little edgy, something about him that spooked me.
Maybe it was the way he moved, smoothly, with a kind of grace that didn't seem to allow for uncertain or halting motions. Or that second smile; it hadn't looked particularly predatory, more . . . unnaturally steady. As if he held the key to a secret I should know.
I shivered a little as I entered the kitchen. Not that the place was cold. It was actually quite warm. No, I had the feeling that I'd stepped into a viper's den and I looked around.
I wasn't sure what I expected to find, but the pure mundanity of the wooden table and chairs and common kitchen appliances both surprised me and made me even warier. Someone like Silas didn't belong in such mundane surroundings.
The kitchen should have been an ode to steel, with sharp corners and a complete dearth of things like plastic. There should have been appliances as close to industrial as possible--the kinds found in high-end restaurant kitchens, things meant to withstand a lot of use or being thrown around. Things that had real weight to them and could cause injury without sustaining damage to themselves.
"Have a seat." Silas indicated the table. "Would you like some coffee?"
I sat. Well, I rather dropped into the nearest chair, but made sure to do so in a chair that at least somewhat faced the kitchen so I could keep an eye on Silas. He continued on his way to a bland looking coffee maker and poured some of the carafe's contents into a mug already on the counter. I licked my lips.
"Yes, please. Thanks." I wasn't sure I should drink his coffee, but I wanted to be polite. It would look pretty odd to act rude after accepting enough hospitality to get into his kitchen.
He pulled a mug out of the cupboard above the coffee maker. "How do you like it?"
I considered lying for a moment, but really couldn't stand unadulterated coffee. "Half milk or cream and four sugars, thanks."
Silas made no comment, and I realized I still held the cobbler and set it on the table. The bag of sweetener rocked, and I pushed the container halfway across the table, then retrieved the bag of sweetener. Not knowing where else to put it, I set it to my left and gazed at the table's surface.
A green mug settled within my view, the handle of a spoon protruding from the liquid within. I swallowed, unable to appreciate the familiar rich scent, and set my forearms on the table before wrapping my hands loosely around the mug.
My unnerving host sat across from me, and I glanced up at him. He set his coffee down and stirred it a little, gaze apparently on the liquid in the mug. He said nothing and raised his gaze.
I looked down and swallowed, seeking something to say. "Um." I shifted a little and glanced up at Silas. "How long have you known Tina?" That seemed like a safe enough question.
"Since about last November. You?"
I shrugged, unable to keep from fidgeting. "Just a couple weeks. I, uh, met her through my grandmother."
God, that sounded so pathetic. I lived with my grandmother, like some juvenile delinquent whose antics his parents had grown weary of. And there was no point in trying to prevaricate or withdraw my reply. That would just emphasize my uncertainty.
"I live here with my sister Sabriana," Silas said.
I glanced up at him. He met my gaze, and I stared like I had yesterday. He was actually quite attractive, and he had a solemnity about him that just added to the unnerving quality of his presence.
"Uh." I jerked my gaze away from his.
"Are you nervous?" He spoke a little softly, as if afraid of frightening me.
I swallowed, staring into the coffee in my mug as if it could tell me what to say. "Um."
"You shouldn't be nervous." These words came with care at the same volume he'd asked his question.
I tittered a laugh. I shouldn't be nervous? Why not? Since when had it become wise for the prey to listen to the predator? The worst part about it was that I really didn't want to be afraid. I felt attracted to Silas, much as I wished I didn't, and I wanted him to like me. I wanted to be confident. I wanted to impress him, and here I was unable to even look up at him.
"What can I do to make you feel more comfortable?" He sounded patient and concerned.
I blinked at my coffee. Be someone else? I didn't suggest it. God, I felt like I was twelve, not twenty. But then, I'd always been more than a little chicken shit. I really shouldn't have been surprised at myself.
"I don't know." I was unable to make my voice function beyond a murmur. I glanced up at Silas again; this time he was looking at something else. The lid on the plastic container holding the cobbler, perhaps. I didn't know and wasn't sure I wanted to and lowered my gaze again before he could catch me looking at him.
He didn't say anything else, and I knocked my heels together, shifted in my chair, and sighed into my untasted coffee. I felt like I should leave, but I couldn't make myself do so. A quick glance at my host told me Silas apparently didn't feel the tension I did. His expression looked calm, impassive.
I licked my lips and forced myself to sip my coffee. It did nothing to calm me, but it did taste good. Strong, but sweet.
"How's your coffee?" Silas asked.
"Good. Thanks."
"You're welcome. Are you afraid of me?" He sounded like he couldn't quite believe the conclusion he'd come to.
I sipped more coffee. "Yeah." I couldn't find a lie that could adequately explain my reaction to him. "A little."
"I don't mean to frighten you."
I nodded. "I know." I glanced up at him. He looked vaguely disappointed now and I returned my gaze to my coffee before he saw me looking. I released the mug of coffee and pushed back from the table, not looking at Silas now. "I-I have to go."
I rose and hurried from the kitchen. A glance over my shoulder told me he hadn't followed, and I escaped his condo feeling like a monster was chasing me. I didn't relax until I reached home, and there I dropped onto the sofa and curled up, wishing I could be somebody braver.
I couldn't have explained how I felt as I watched Geoffrey scramble out of my home. I knew I could be intimidating if I tried, but I hadn't been trying. I'd been doing my best to be friendly, nonthreatening, and approachable. When the door slammed, I flinched and looked at the barely-touched coffee he'd left behind.
Now I felt like a bastard for accepting the cobbler. I gazed at the lid and wondered if I'd be able to eat it. It didn't seem right that I should now, not after frightening Geoffrey.
I rose and got a container out. The least I could do was move it to my own plastic ware and wash his container. I'd have to send Sabriana with it to return it--along with the sweetener. He'd apparently received an injunction to make something for Tina, and I couldn't let him have to try and explain things to her. That would just humiliate him, and the last thing I wanted was for him to find more reasons to dislike me.
I transferred the cobbler to my container and put it in the fridge, then washed Geoffrey's container by hand. That done, I left it in the draining rack and set the sweetener next to it, retrieving his coffee at the same time. That I just dumped before setting the mug in the sink.
Then I went into the living room and dropped onto the sofa. I reviewed everything I'd done and said since opening the door to find Geoffrey on the other side, looking for things I could have said or done differently. Maybe I shouldn't have waited for the conversation to flow naturally. It never really had, and what conversation we had exchanged had been stilted. Then again, maybe I should have just turned him away at the door.
But at the time, he'd seemed confident enough, unafraid. Apparently, inviting him in had changed that. I sighed and fetched the remote from the TV stand, then just spent the next while flipping through the channels. When the door opened at noon, I looked up.
"Hey," my sister said.
"Where's Tyler?"
"He had to go to work." Sabriana shut the door, gazing at me. "What's wrong?"
I looked at the TV. "I wish I was someone else." I wasn't serious, but Sabriana would understand I was using the phrase as an expression of my frustration with things.
"What happened?" Now she sounded worried.
I inhaled a deep breath and told her about what had happened this morning. At one point, I got up and paced, gesticulating as I spoke. Sabriana caught one of my arms and I halted, finishing my tale with my head bowed.
"Bria, he practically ran away. As if he thought I was on his heels, ready to take him down like some wolf on the hunt!" I waved in the direction of the front door, then turned away from her and walked to the other side of the room. Little could get to me, but this had. I hugged myself, gazing out the window upon the street below. "I don't know what to do to make things better."
"Let me ask you something, Si."
I flinched at the tone of my sister's voice. It had gone hard, her no-nonsense voice. The one that meant that if I wasn't honest in my reply, she'd find some way to make me regret the lie.
"What?" I couldn't muster the fear necessary to speak warily, and I still sounded frustrated as a result.
"How interested are you?"
I blinked, gazing at the traffic. How interested was I? I didn't know. All I did know was that I didn't want to leave things as they were with Geoffrey.
"I don't know. I want to be his friend at least."
Behind me, Sabriana sighed. "Okay, then I'll help you. You go get ready for work. I'll think something up."
I nodded and turned around. "Thanks."
Sabriana caught me again as I passed and I looked at her. She smiled up at me. "What are sisters for?"
I smiled a little. "Thanks."
I hugged her and went to my bedroom to change into work clothes. When I came out, I found my sister on the sofa. She'd pulled her feet up under her knees and was reading one of her textbooks. I patted the crown of her head.
"I'll see you in the morning," I said.
"All right. Drive careful, try to have a good time."
I snorted. "Will do."
I didn't tell Grandma what had happened. She knew something had, because I couldn't get comfortable, but she didn't ask. She just let me mope around the condo and hide in my room like some angsty fifteen year old.
Really, living with Grandma was like living at home in some ways. Nobody asked anything of me. I was left alone to do what I wanted, not that I got rowdy or anything. After Grandma left, I ventured out into the living room.
I thought about Silas. I'd spent last night laying in bed going over every moment I'd spent in his company and chided myself for being afraid. But I couldn't help it. Maybe I was out of Dad's influence, but I still felt like I had to be careful of doing things wrong. It was a kind of guilt, this fear, and it colored everything I did even now. Silas had had a personal bearing that intimidated me not because I expected him to denounce me, but because I envied his confidence.
Not that Dad had been physically abusive. More very strict. How he'd reached the conclusion that I was gay, I didn't know. I hadn't been able to lie about it, either, when confronted. Mom had just clucked her tongue, tsking at me like she did whenever I made a minor transgression, then left Dad to rant at me about being ungrateful for all the things he'd provided me, as if I'd deliberately chosen to be gay just to piss him off. About the best thing about that whole situation had been the fact that my younger siblings had all been at school, so they hadn't been direct witnesses to my humiliation.

With the holiday shopping season right around the corner, some may be eyeing a new Apple iPhone 5 as a gift for a loved one, or perhaps themselves. Many are looking to buy the new handset as, for the first time since the original iPhone debuted in 2007, the device has a 4-inch display. Purchasing the iPhone 5 may be difficult for those who bought an iPhone 4S wihtin the last year, however, as carriers did not offer early upgrade subsidies for the newest handset.

In 2012, we have a unique opportunity to elect more commonsense conservatives to Congress, but that alone is not enough. We must support conservatives who are with us on the issues but not weighed down with the burden of crony capitalism that is so prevalent in Washington, D.C. Congresswoman Sandy Adams is just one of those candidates.

'White supremacy' is the heart of "critical race theory" and Obama knew it. And by the time Obama embraced him at Harvard Law School, Derrick Bell had already given a speech in Chicago just two months before that caused a sensation which was about how white supremacy was still the order of the day and that black people were fooling themselves if they thought civil rights and equality were achievable goals. He said this and one of the people who came to his defense, by the way, was Jeremiah Wright, with whom Bell had correspondence over the years."

This week's The New England Journal of Medicine has an editorial about the politics of obesity that says we should be doing more as a nation about the obesity epidemic but people think it's an individual responsibility thing. (1) This article has the results of some interesting surveys of public perceptions. They have a chart that is labeled "conservatives, "moderates," and "liberals." This makes it seem like conservatives and liberals are immoderate. Judging from the stalemates in Congress and polls that show that 90 plus per cent of Americans have decided who to vote for and cannot be influenced by the $2 billion that Romney and Obama will spend trying, it would seem like Congress is just reflecting us and that conservatives and liberals are indeed immoderate.
Anyway, there is the point of view that anybody who is fat is that way because he is lazy and eats too much and it's his own fault. We'll call that the Republican point of view. But Democrats and moderates, to only a slightly lesser degree think, the same thing even though this has turned out to be an unsatisfactory point of view. Then there is the point of view that society and the food and beverage industry and the environment make us fat. This point of view is recently promoted by the Institute of Medicine in a report, "Solving the Weight of the Nation." and an accompanying HBO documentary. This idea requires the government, which is to say all of us collectively if you're not one of those people who believe that the government isn't really "us," has to be the one to fix this obesity epidemic. We'll call this the Democratic point of view since it sounds like a Democratic big government thing, and Democrats believe this to a slightly greater degree than Republicans. Unfortunately this idea is pretty lame too. The evidence is circumstantial and weak.
Both of these points of view are based on the false premise that if we just eat less and exercise more we won't be fat. It might be good to build more bike paths and take out hidden poisons like trans fatty acids and salt from processed foods but that won't make us less fat and we shouldn't spend a lot of money and aggravation on other things that won't accomplish anything. And I'm a tax-and-spend Democrat.

LIMA — If you are at the gas station on your way to work in the morning and you see a bunch of men dressed in fatigues there is no need to worry.
Martial law has not been declared, however it is the opening of deer-gun season throughout the state.
Hunting season will extend from 30 minutes before sunrise Monday to 30 minutes after sunset. The 30 minutes after sunset is a new regulation and gives hunters an extra 30 minutes to hunt.
"We are eager to increase opportunities for Ohio's sportsmen and women," said Ohio Department of Natural Resources Director James Zehringer. "Ohio is a top 10 whitetail hunting destination, and the extra half-hour will give hunters more opportunities to bag a deer.
The ODNR estimates between 80,000 and 90,000 deer will be harvested during this year's deer season. About 420,000 hunters were expected to participate. In 2012, 89,964 deer were checked during the season.
Hunters may use a plugged shotgun capable of holding no more than three slugs, a muzzleloader .38 caliber or larger, a handgun .357 caliber or larger and bows during deer-gun week.
Deer bag limits vary from county to county. Hancock County has a two deer limit, while Mercer, Shelby, Van Wert, Auglaize and Logan all have a three-deer limit. Allen, Hardin and Putnam counties all have a four-deer limit.
The statewide limit is nine deer, but hunters may not exceed the limit in each county. Hunters may harvest only one antlered deer. A valid deer permit is required along with a valid Ohio hunting license.
A new tagging process requires hunters to make their own game tag and attach it to a checked deer. The tags can be made of any material and must include the hunter's name, date, time and county of the kill.
Deer can also be checked online. When checking your deer online, it is best to have a printer connected to your computer. A game check receipt displaying the 18-digit confirmation number is issued and can be printed for your convenience. If you don't have access to a printer when completing the game check, you can access your customer account at wildohio.com to print your game check receipt. To complete the game check process, attach the 18-digit confirmation number to the animal. The confirmation number must remain attached to the animal, or parts of the animal, forever. The number may be written on the back of the mount for proper identification.
ODNR reported that deer season is important to help manage deer populations. The ODNR Division of Wildlife is working with Hunters Feeding the Hungry to help pay for processing of donated venison. More information on this program can be found at fhfh.org. Hunters will not be required to pay for processing as long as funding is available. Hunters can also donate their catch to Safari Club International Sportsman Against Hunger or Whitetail Unlimited.
Ohio ranks fifth nationally in resident hunters and is 11th in jobs associated with the hunting industry. The National Shooting Sports Foundation estimates that hunting has a $853 million economic impact to the Ohio economy.

I caught this gray squirrel lying down on the job in Explore the Wild.
I don't think that our tired little tree squirrel has yet begun to build a nest or store away food. Although I have seen a few signs of other squirrels having buried acorns and other nuts, I think this squirrel is just resting between meals. The cold temperatures upon us now, though, may help stimulate this guy into stocking the shelves.
Speaking of squirrels and eating, I was finally able to get a shot of one of our ground squirrels. The groundhog was out on the grass storing food for winter, in the form of fat applied to its body, that is. I've been seeing groundhogs for more than a few weeks feeding alongside the paths here at the Museum, but I've only gotten a glimpse of their posterior ends as they fled my approach. Most of the hogs have been young hogs, which may explain their wariness.
In the past our groundhogs have been quite brazen, coming out to feed in front of passing school groups and families who stop to watch and enjoy the show. Perhaps that generation of groundhogs has passed, and this is the new.
It won't be long before the groundhogs disappear altogether, retreating to their underground burrows to hibernate.
Greg Dodge is a professional naturalist as well as a writer, videographer and producer of natural history DVDs. His images have been used in various TV productions, museum displays, and corporate videos. Above all, he has a fascination and passion for all things natural.
He can be found Tuesday thru Saturday in Explore the Wild, Catch the Wind, or on the Dinosaur Trail. Ask him what's new in the wild!

Restaurant Meals For Kids Loaded With Excess Calories And Fat
Enid Burns for redOrbit.com — Your Universe Online
Childhood obesity continues to be a problem. A report released by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) says that chain restaurants are not doing enough to help kids – and parents – make good choices. And that those restaurants are contributing to the problem.
"One out of every three American children is overweight or obese, but it's as if the chain restaurant industry didn't get the memo," CSPI nutrition policy director Margo G. Wootan said in a statement from the organization. "Most chains seem stuck in a time warp, serving up the same old meals based on chicken nuggets, burgers, macaroni and cheese, fries and soda."
The report alleges that 97 percent of kids' meals don't measure up to nutrition guidelines. The industry lobbying group Kids LiveWell has its own nutrition requirements, and 91 percent of kids' meals at major chain restaurants across America don't meet those nutritional standards. Many meals add up to 1,000 calories, which is nearly the daily recommended calorie intake for children. Children ages 4 to 10 eat 1,200 to 2,200 calories per day, USA Today reported.
CSPI's nutrition criteria states that kids' meals must not exceed 430 calories, more than 35 percent of calories from fat, or more than 10 percent of calories from saturated plus trans fat. Additional criteria include that meals cannot have more than 35 percent of added sugars by weight, nor more than 770 milligrams of sodium.
"The criteria require meals to make a positive nutritional contribution either by providing at least half a serving of fruit or vegetable, including an item that is 51 percent or more whole grain, or including specific levels of vitamins or fiber," the report says.
CSPI excludes sugar drinks in favor of water, juice, or low-fat milk, in its criteria. National Restaurant Association has similar standards, however the association allows more calories.
Subway is the one chains that CSPI commended in the report, citing that all eight of the Subway's Fresh Fit for Kids meal combinations met CSPI's nutrition criteria. Subway offers its kids' meals with low-fat milk or bottled water as a beverage, and doesn't include soft drinks on its kids' meal menu.
"Our goal has always been to provide the most nutritious, balanced kids meals in the industry and we are proud to be recognized by CSPI for achieving that goal," said Lanette Kovachi, corporate dietitian for the Subway brand, in a CSPI statement. "As a mom and a dietitian I know that it's not easy to get kids to eat things that taste great and include essential nutrients. Our menu can make both parent and child happy."
This is the first time that CSPI has reviewed the nutritional quality of kids' meals at chain restaurants since 2008. Only one percent of kids' meals met CSPI's nutrition standards in 2008. Three percent of kids' meals meet the standards in the 2012 report. The report finds that one-third of the restaurant chains had at least one meal that met the nutritional standards in 2008; 44 percent of meals met those guidelines in 2012. More meals meet the organization's sodium and calorie standards, however fewer meet the limits for saturated fat.
"The chain restaurant industry is conditioning kids to accept such a narrow range of foods," said Ameena Batada, assistant professor in the Department of Health and Wellness at the University of North Carolina, Asheville (UNCA). "More chains are adding fruit, like apple slices, to their menus, but practically every chain could be adding more vegetable and whole grain options. And given the impact of sugar drinks on children's health, those should be eliminated from kids' meals at restaurants."

CHOW #011 - Thog the Mastadon Slayer
SATURDAY, JANUARY 7th
Thog the Mastadon Slayer
Thog the Mastadon Slayer is the hero of the tribe, heart throb of the ladies, built like a saber toothed tiger (and as friskey as one!), completely fearless (except for giant spiders, those just freak him out something serious), and none too bright.
Dim he may be, but underneath that cromagnon cranium, a stone wheel tirelessly turns with a single purpose: bring home the Mastadon meat, with a supersized side of Giant Ground Sloth.
Thog is not to be found anywhere without his *Club of Klunking*, provided by Thag & Sons, and sporting his spotted Stag Moose Cape and Loin Cloth (part of the Peccaries ensamble) on those cold and lonely nights during the Mastadon hunts.
Totally Styling and absolutely stoopid, Thog the Mastodon Slayer is a true hero of the Pleistocene era!

about Thog here -
to tell the truth, i kinda gave up on this piece
somewhere along the way.
i wasn`t too happy with it and i got so tired i wraped it up. it doesn`t mean it`s no good (or it wasn`t posted here, i assure you..), it`s just why it looks somewhat different from my other works.

All the work so far is showing a substantial degree of ass-kicking. I dig 'em.
Progress 1
Progress 2
Final - Thog, with his Club of Klunking, stands resolutely guarding his kill, waiting for his tribesmen to come take the prized mastodon carcass home.

Misledtomisery :: I like the posture and gesture, but it may be a slight skew from the "built like a sabertooth tiger" and the "hero of the tribe, heart throb of the ladies" that the discription calls for. But then again, who knows what the mastadonians ladies are into.

I know that Neanderthals where savage and primitive, but I thought about a character that have respect for Mammoths. Why? Maybe because they give him furs, meat, bones and finally...chance to survive. Thats why my Thog dont looks like salivated wild dog

Well I guess I just had to draw something. I was doodling on a sheet of paper and decided to give it a little ink. There's a lot of mistakes here, and sure a lot could've been better done (like the shading, the hands, and so on) but I really don't have the time for a retake.

i mean, with "frisky," "supersized side of ... Sloth," "Club of Klunking," coordinated "Thang & sons" attire from the "Peccaries ensemble", and "Totally Styling and absolutely stoopid" in there, i couldn't help but chuckle.
ah, well, guess i was in a somewhat frisky mood meself.

NY's Plans For Eco-Friendly Taxis Halted
The plan to turn New York City's entire fleet of yellow cabs green by 2012 was halted Friday by a federal judge who ruled that regulation of fuel emissions standards fall under federal, not city, authority.
The plan called for every new taxi to have a minimum standard of at least 30 miles per gallon, a target now met by hybrid and clean diesel cars.
U.S. District Judge Paul Crotty found that the Metropolitan Taxicab Board of Trade, an association of taxi owners accounting for about a quarter of the city's 13,000 yellow cabs, had "demonstrated a likelihood of success" in having the new rules thrown out. He granted a preliminary injunction.
The implementation of regulations now would be costly to the taxi industry, Crotty ruled.
The city is considering an appeal.
"The decision is not a ruling against hybrids cabs, rather a ruling that archaic Washington regulations are applicable and therefore New York City, and all other cities, are prevented from choosing to create cleaner air and a healthier place to live," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement.
The Taxi and Limousine Commission said there are already about 1,400 hybrid taxis in the city.
Hybrid vehicles emit less exhaust and have better gas mileage than other vehicles because they are powered by a combination of gasoline and electricity.
The original lawsuit that was filed in September argued that the rules had been rushed out without adequate concern for safety cost.
"While a decision to announce the immediate change to 'clean' taxis might be politically enticing and expedient, it is also irresponsible, dangerous and illegal," the suit said.
Having green taxis are a cornerstone of Bloomberg's environmental plan, which aims to curb the city's carbon footprint by 30 percent by 2030.

I would be willing to bet acne is not a terribly likely effect, unless you had very bad acne in your younger years.
hi i have been very tempted by anabolic matrix as it rasies natural testosterone levels and i have checked through side affects and most of them seem fine only one im worried about is the acne side affect does anyone have any more information on this and how likely it is to occur and treat also general information about how good the product is would be usefull

no i havent sufferd any form of acne at all just not something i would want to get and would need to be sure of something like that before i consider buying them
well this is the sort of thing im affraid of and dont want, if there was a way the acne could be stopped or really an unoticable amount i would be ok
Anabolic Matrix RX gave me *slight* acne, and made my face really oily... but nothing unbearable.
I just upped washing my face to twice a day... with Nutrogena and had no issues. Only the occasional pimple...
It brought my sex-drive back for sure, and is great stuff. I definitely recommend it.

man that dudes got some issues.
well the only thing im worried about is not to sound vein but after all this work im doing on my body i dont want acne on it when nacked with women, cause well will put my chances at pulling way down
and will not look attractive at all, you must see where i coming from nearly every one on this forum works hard to get their body into shape but not only for fitness also to look good
if i did get acne is there easy and quick way top get rid of it
just stop taking whatever is causing itOriginally Posted by sgtneo
yeah but then that would be a waste ofmoney on the suppliments is there any say cream or gel that would clear it, or would stopping the suppliment be best bet?
ahh didnt see anti biotics bit if that clears it then i may consider getting some, sorry to seem very reluctant ive just never gone into suppliments as strong as this before and really want to be absalutly sure
anyway im gunna get some sleep now kinda late here ill reap replys in morning
well, if you decide to try it here is a UK retailer: http://www.discount-supplements.co.u...IX%20Rx™.asp
I haven't taken any Anabolic Matrix yet, but I did take a cycle of Nutrex Vitrex. From what I could tell, they are very, very similar products. I experienced no acne at all. (I think I am probably susceptible to acne, because I did have a prob with it when I was taking too much fish oil.) Anyway, I have some Anablolic Matrix due to arrive here Monday and I'm not concerned about acne.
sgtneo- you will not get acne like in that picture. Anabolic Matrix RX will give you slight acne - to - none at all and will be gone within a couple weeks of finishing the poroduct. Dont worry. Buy it
The only thing that has ever given me acne is liquid nolva. It makes me break out slightly on my traps
Exactly. I would promote and support caution, but I was using testosterone off and on for about a year before I saw any kind of real acne, and the example you gave was way way outside of even what I'd call the worst acne possible. Everyones genetics are different, but basically unless you HAD really bad acne as a teen, and still have problems, you will most likely see little to NOTHING and we are not talking pizza, we are talking maybe a pimple here or there.Originally Posted by Robert DiMaggio
Typically it takes months of heavy hormonal imbalance to cause anything on the order of 10% of what you showed.

The Alchemist ft. Three 6 Mafia & Juvenile - That'll Work
Artist: The Alchemist
Featuring: Three 6 Mafia, Juvenile
Producer: The Alchemist
Album: Chemical Warfare
Avg Rating: 4.1 ( 34 votes )
Throughout his career, The Alchemist has made a habit of reaching out to the underground—whether releasing rare tracks on vinyl or taking up-and-coming artists under his wing, he's kept his ear towards the streets while building a reputation as one of hip-hop's most elite beatsmiths. On That'll Work, the latest street single off Alchemist's forthcoming Chemical Warfare LP (out July 7th), the West Coast vet keeps his production on the minimal side, accenting a minor-key synth arpeggio with occasional stabs of bass. The headliner is first on the mic, employing a stiff vocal delivery that sounds almost quantized to the beat. The flow loosens up a bit with Juvenile's verse, but the highlight of the track is definitely Three 6 Mafia's contribution—they bring a much more relaxed feel to the track, while maintaining a strong rhythm in their delivery. New listeners would be better off checking out a couple of Alchemist's previous singles, such as the excellent Lose Your Life, but this one will most certainly work for the emcee/producer's hardcore fans—and, after all, that's who he's doing it for.

Healing War-Torn Liberia Takes More Than Elections
By editor
Liberia held presidential elections this week. The front runner and current president of Liberia is Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize this month. But awards notwithstanding, Liberia remains a place recovering from a 14-year-long civil war, with much of the country too poor even to have electric power or clean running water. Scott Simon talks with Tim Butcher, former Africa correspondent for The Daily Telegraph, about the challenges facing the country.
