Why are new born puppies unable to open their eyes for the first two weeks?
Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu
It is a fact that new born puppies are not able to see or also not able to hear. This is a very surprising fact that the puppies are born blind and deaf unlike in humans where babies are fully developed.
But why it is so? The answer lies in the past when the various species were developing and were looking for the most adaptive way to survive in the world.
Since mammals give birth to live babies, the choice was whether to have a long pregnancy and produce fully formed and functional offspring, or to have a short pregnancy and produce immature, partly formed offspring that were helpless and needed a lot of care.
Obviously, for a species where ability to run away from predators can determine whether they survive, being born mature is a necessity. Under this group come cow, horse, deer etc. whose off-springs are fully developed at the time of birth and are able to care on their own against the predators.
The various canine species, including cats and dogs, represent the other extreme. In the wild, canines survive by hunting.
Carrying a litter of puppies will slow the female and make it difficult to catch faster moving prey and to do her part in the coordinated hunting of the pack. That means that getting the pups out of the womb and onto the ground quickly is an advantage.
So the reason that puppies are born with their eyelids tightly shut is because the eye itself is still developing and is extremely fragile.

Manchester United's Owen Hargreaves has been ruled out for England's friendly with Austria in Vienna on Friday.
Hargreaves has only just returned to action after a long-standing tendinitis problem which he sustained while at Bayern Munich and eventually required an injection after his summer move to Old Trafford.
England coach Steve McClaren has discussed the matter with his old boss, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, and it has been decided Hargreaves should remain in Manchester for treatment.
It is hoped the 26 year old will be available for the potentially crucial Euro 2008 qualifier against Croatia at Wembley on November 21.
"Owen Hargreaves is recovering from a long-term injury," observed an FA spokesman.
"Having discussed it with Manchester United, it was felt he should remain in Manchester for treatment until the weekend - with the emphasis on his fitness for the Croatia qualifier."

Pepto-Bismol and Sperling's BestPlaces Uncover the Top 10 Best Places for Thanksgiving Celebrations
CINCINNATI, Nov. 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — Pepto-Bismol & Sperling's BestPlaces announced today national study findings that identified the ten best places you should be when the bird comes out of the oven this Thursday.
Consumers beware: Thanksgiving excitement does not lie in the heart of Manhattan along a parade route. This study found that the best place to spend time, give thanks and devour Thanksgiving's finest feast is the rather unexpected city of Akron, Ohio. According to the study, the Akron population lives by "the more, the merrier" ideal, with lots of mouths to feed and lots of pies to feed them.
Not to worry, if making the trip to Ohio doesn't scream turkey and trimmings to you, there are nine other major cities that compete among the best of them:
1 Akron OH West Palm Beach- 2 Boca Raton FL 3 Columbus OH 4 Fort Worth-Arlington TX 5 Las Vegas NV 6 Rochester NY 7 Salt Lake City UT 8 Minneapolis-St. Paul MN 9 Philadelphia PA Warren-Troy- 10 Farmington Hills MI
Looks like people also enjoy visiting grandma at her winter escape in West Palm Beach and eat plenty during their stay. This number two-ranked best city had the highest percentage increase of inbound airport traffic and a high use per capita of Pepto-Bismol to relieve stomach issues after polishing off their Thanksgiving feast.
"We're not surprised to learn that a place like West Palm Beach will see an influx in traffic and a high intake of Pepto," said Jane and Michael Stern, authors, foodies, Thanksgiving fanatics, and the duo that make up the "Roadfood" empire. "We never leave home without our Pepto-Bismol when traveling to delectable dinner celebrations, even if we forget to bring a side dish."
Not too far behind in the rankings was Las Vegas, at number five, where people would rather eat at the table than hit the tables on Thanksgiving, with the highest turkey consumption out of all cities in the top 10. One glaringly obvious study result: a large parade does not a party make. There is one thing for sure, New Yorkers, ranking low at 80(th), need to deflate the balloons and fire up the oven if they want to make the top 10 next year.
"I wasn't surprised to see my city, Cincinnati, fall behind major metros known for their food – Philadelphia, Houston, New Orleans – but I was surprised to see we fell right underneath the number 80-ranked New York City," said Kristen Stutz, assistant brand manager for Pepto-Bismol. "Regardless of where your city falls on the list, we're here to remind everyone that Pepto has you covered for Thanksgiving celebrations and beyond."
In addition to the specific cities' findings, the study found overall that celebrating Thanksgiving in the Midwest is a bigger deal than it is in the rest of the country. Midwesterners host traditional celebrations that include larger parties and healthier appetites as well as unique group activities that go beyond the food-family-football stereotype.
The study ranked America's 100 most populated metro areas based on the following criteria: increase in inbound airport traffic, amount of turkey consumption and tracked Pepto-Bismol sales. Also weighed into the study findings were results from a consumer poll of 4,800 Americans which inquired about the number of people attending Thanksgiving, the number of dishes served and ways people intended to celebrate.

If you take a series of photos of the key, and use that free service to turn it into a mesh (make sure the top surface is captured mainly, and ensure a ruler is included in the shots for scale), I'd be happy to model something on top of it. Shapeways doesn't have a "rubber" material, but they do have the black elastic material that might work. Though you'd probably have to glue the cap to the key, rather than "snap" it on or some such.]]> MidnightLightning 2012-07-06T13:27:52-00:00 Re: Logitech G110 WASD + 123456 keycaps http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=50946&th=10082#msg_50946 However, when I use to work with a carpenter we used to do much laminating work that involved using applying thin layers of rubber cement to the two surfaces of the pieces to be adhered. These were counters used in banks and never came off, wearing out years later before they would if ever, start to separate. This would still not guarantee that the plastic and shapeways rubber like material would stay affixed for as long. But I do know your keys will not be damaged by the contact cement, and it would not be messy to have to clean those keys and re-apply after some time. I don't know how this shapeways "rubber" material would react to the rubber cement though. So, it wouldn't hurt to try and test one key pad. I would be able to take exact measurements as I have the same keyboard and tools that would let me do so. I thought the answer might be to just re-make the whole key which from a design point of view is not hard. However, the minimum details are not small enough for this to work ( having looked at the underside of the keys themselves ). As before, if I think of something, I will let you know. P.S. If you do decide to try rubber cement let me know. I will give you some tips on how to do it most effectively and with least amount of mess.]]> BabaJaiy 2012-07-06T22:00:30-00:00 Re: Logitech G110 WASD + 123456 keycaps http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=50948&th=10082#msg_50948 Tony Balony wrote on Fri, 06 July 2012 22:00I thought the answer might be to just re-make the whole key which from a design point of view is not hard.

Frosted Ultra Detail can get down to 0.3mm walls; there's details smaller than that on the key base?]]> MidnightLightning 2012-07-06T22:16:24-00:00 Re: Logitech G110 WASD + 123456 keycaps http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=50952&th=10082#msg_50952 This material must have gone by my radar...usually get emails from shapeways on new materials; and usually go by the booklet I have from shapeways, needs to be updated I think after learning of this. Thanks for the heads up. Question would be then, how good is the "memory" of this material. The underside of the key has two snap clips. I know from my keyboard I like to occasionally take the key caps off and do a thorough cleaning of my board. But if one just wants them to go on once and leave it; Might just work fine. Would be a good project to test and see how well it works.]]> BabaJaiy 2012-07-07T02:21:19-00:00

Table 5. Digestive Tract Late Effects continued...
Nodular regenerative hyperplasia is a rare condition characterized by the development of multiple monoacinar regenerative hepatic nodules and mild fibrosis. The pathogenesis is not well established, but may represent a nonspecific tissue adaptation to heterogeneous hepatic blood flow.[57] Nodular regenerative hyperplasia has rarely been observed in survivors of childhood cancer treated with chemotherapy, with or without liver radiation therapy.[58,59] Biopsy may be necessary to distinguish nodular regenerative hyperplasia from a subsequent malignancy.
In a cohort who recently completed intensified therapy for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, histologic evidence of fatty infiltration was noted in 93% and siderosis in up to 70% of patients.[60] Fibrosis developed in 11% and was associated with higher serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Fatty liver with insulin resistance has also been reported to develop more frequently in long-term childhood cancer survivors treated with cranial radiation before allogeneic stem cell transplantation who were not overweight or obese.[61] Prospective studies are needed to define whether acute posttherapy fatty liver change contributes to the development of steatohepatitis or the metabolic syndrome in this population. Likewise, information about the long-term outcomes of transfusion-related iron overload is lacking, especially among survivor cohorts who did not undergo hematopoietic cell transplantation.
Survivors with liver dysfunction should be counseled regarding risk-reduction methods to prevent hepatic injury. Standard recommendations include maintenance of a healthy body weight, abstinence from alcohol use, and immunization against hepatitis A and B viruses. In patients with chronic hepatitis, precautions to reduce viral transmission to household and sexual contacts should also be reviewed.

According to a recent news item by KBBI's Aaron Selbig, come September Anchorage, Kodiak and Homer will no longer be ports of call for Holland America's 14-day Alaskan Explorer cruise. This package has reportedly been sold out for every cruise since its inception two years ago and has received rave reviews from tourists traveling aboard the 1,300-passenger MS Amsterdam.
According to Holland America's website, the cruise leaves Seattle and stops at the usual places for fleece and T-shirts, Ketchikan and Juneau. The Amsterdam then heads across the Gulf of Alaska and up Cook Inlet to Anchorage where the cruisers get 16 hours to poke around. Then it heads down to Homer for eight hours of shore leave and next on to Kodiak for another eight hours to experience Alaska. The cruise then sails back across the Gulf to Sitka by way of Hubbard Glacier then back to Seattle.
The trip costs between $1,700 (no cabin window) and $4,000 (window) per person not counting fleece and T-shirts. Matching jogging suits are not required. (I wonder if tourists are included in the dead-last ranking of Anchorage by the fashion police.) Personally, I love to see retirees from the Lower 48 coming to Alaska for the trip they've always wanted to take but never had time for. I love it when they are excited to see an eagle or moose or marvel at the majesty of the mountains. And it must be pretty cool for them to walk real Alaska working harbors and see "Deadliest Catch"-type guys and their boats up close.
Not that I'd ever want to go on a cruise. Fourteen days with 1,300 people I don't know would only be slightly worse than 14 days on a ship with people I do know. But they're presumably having fun and now that the harbor toilet-flushing issue seems to be resolved to Anchorage standards, where's the harm?
So, what's the problem? Why cancel a profitable cruise?
Apparently for even greater profits. Eric Elvejord, Holland America public relations director for the giant cruise company, told Selvig the company has chosen to direct its energy toward utilization of "other Alaskan assets," meaning the hotels, motor coaches and rail cars the company owns. Corporate tourism maximizes its profits by controlling the activities of its clients. Cruise companies make the most money when their tourists travel on company-owned ships, are transferred to company-owned tour buses, are brought to company-owned hotels, fed at company-owned restaurants, and buy souvenirs at company-owned gift shops. Alaska supplies the scenery and weather for free.
There's too much independence on the Alaskan Explorer cruise, consequently Holland America is dropping it for other trips that don't involve passengers the freedom to shop or explore non-Holland America venues for extended periods of time.
I get the part where most tourists are not physically or mentally equipped for even a small foray into the Alaska wilderness and are best kept on a ship or a bus for their safety and comfort. But the Homer Spit, with the exception of occasional nights in the Salty Dawg, is not exactly wild country and probably has more artists per-capita selling their creations than anywhere in the country. Art is better than fleece. Kodiak can also be a little rough but not in the wonderful Alutiiq Museum and other historic sites of interest. And Anchorage is the United States' only subarctic city; a place to observe first-hand what we have done on the northern landscape.
Holland America, Princess Tours, and other corporate tour companies can organize their business any way they want as long as it doesn't cost Alaska taxpayers any money. But it does cost Alaska taxpayers. State tourism funding is around $12 million annually; much of it from car rental taxes. A significant portion of this funding is diverted to the Alaska Travel Industry Association for tourism marketing to help fill ships like the MV Amsterdam (a representative of Holland America sits on the 25-member board). That gives taxpayers a dog in this fight.
The number of tourists that visit Alaska each year exceeds the number of Alaskans. If state money is going to help bring tourists north, we want them to have a complete, thoughtful experience. That Alaska experience should not be limited to being herded by the corporate tourist industry. Give those that want it the option to experience the Alaska they always wanted to visit.

The best part of this product has to be the smell. It's divine. It definitely makes my cuticles & nails look nice, not quite as nice as regular cuticle oil but the scent makes it worth using. It really smells like fresh lemons or lemonade, not at all like anything synthetic or chemical. I have to apply it more frequently than regular cuticle oil - I usually apply this product before bed each night. This is a great alternative to cuticle oil though, because it's a balm not a liquid, so application is much less messy and can be done anywhere.
The packaging is cute but not as functional as I'd like. As with so many other burt's bees products, this would be better in a stick than in a tin. Although the tin looks small, it will last a very long time. Definitely worth the $6, but you could never tell by just looking at the size.

I picked this up at Walgreens for about 6 bucks the other day, after reading tons of MUA reviews. Previously I had been using plain grape seed oil on my cuticles, however, while it works great, it is really greasy.
This cuticle cream comes in a cute, travel friendly round tin that opens easily but stays securely shut when not in use.
The cuticle cream is thick, and waxy, and smells like real, natural Meyer lemons, not that artificial lemon citronella smell that Lush's lemony flutter has.
a few swipes of this on my cuticles keeps them in shape and prevents hangnails, all without leaving greasy fingerprints on everything I touch.
While the tin was about 6 bucks, which could be a little steep, the amount of product you use per application, means this should last months. I'm pleased, and would purchase again.

Good cuticle cream. I definitely notice a difference after using it - my cuticles are softer and less prone to cracking in the cold winter months. A little oily and doesn't get fully absorbed right away, so good to use it at night so it can soak in overnight. The packaging is a little less than ideal - it can be hard to open and it's awkward to close with greasy fingers after you apply the cream. I have the yellow tin.

This product is great for dry cracked cuticles and dry nails. It smells nice, like lemon curd. I like to use it at night b/c it is a tad greasy but it's full of oils, what do you expect!?

I had a very strong urge to buy BB's Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream (CC), even though I had JUST BOUGHT Lush's Lemony Flutter (LF). A comparison purchase for kicks.
Thoughts on CC (silver tin?): Its a balm. It takes a while to rub onto the balm to get a decent amount of product (and rubbing) that would be absorbed into the one finger/hand. It seems its only good on the cuticles, no where else. I tried applying it to a dry spot, not as nourishing. The smell is like the lemony scent you get from a wet-nap. CC does its purpose well, but I guess its the ONLY thing it does. I do remember why I bought it, I tend to keep it in my purse while I have LF stashed at home.
I like LF better. I bought CC for about $6 which weighs in .6 oz. Meanwhile, LF is 1.5 oz at $14.95, multipurpose, AND smells better.
My cuticles better be in their best shape with all this butter!

I SWEAR by this product! I love the smell, I love how it makes my nails feel and look, and I love how it actually improves the condition of my nails instead of just making them LOOK healthy. Wonderful product.

First off, I have the version in the silver tin. It's an 'okay' product for me, good enough for a quick touch up if you're out and about. However, I don't feel as if it works all that well by it's self. After asking someone how to get rid of hangnails, they said to moisturize A LOT!! So I actually put on a cuticle oil first, then this balm and I'll have good looking cuticles for the rest of the day. I'm not a big fan of having to jump through hoops to make things work so I probably will not repurchase.

I don't normally buy cuticle cream, but got this as a gift so gave it a shot. The verdict is I love the packaging and smell. Not too sure that it softens cuticles, but it's fun using it so I'd probably buy it again though $6 seems a little steep for something so tiny.

I bought the one in the yellow tin. Some of the ingredients are: sunflower oil, vegetable oil, rosemary leaf oil. I have only had this for four days... I havn't been using everyday so I havn't seen much of an improvement with my cuticles of course. I bought this after reading the reviews on MAU. Perhaps it hasn't grown on me yet but I don't see what the big deal is. I guess the packaging is nice; it will fit in your purse and you can apply it whenever..(kinda like lip balm for your nails :p) The consistency is a little bit too waxy for me, it seems to linger on the surface of the skin (you got to really massage it in) Also it is suppose to be beneficial to run into your nails too but I wear nail polish all the time so it won't be helping the health of my nails.. It's ok.. I'll keep you guys updated if I see a miraculous difference with my cuticles

This does make my cuticles soft, but I'm not sure if I would repurchase. I want to try the one that LUSH makes next. I think I got the original formula, because I bought it online. It smells very good and I have been using it everyday. My nails do look healthier than before.

Grand Portage Elders keep moving with Wisdom StepsThu, 02/07/2013 - 12:47pm
The Elders at the Grand Portage Elderly Nutrition Program are staying busy. There continues to be strong participation in weekly water aerobics, chair exercise and Wisdom Steps programs. These programs are especially important as the weather makes it hard to get outdoors. ENP Director Patty Winchell-Dahl said, "When we keep moving, we have less pain from arthritis, stay strong and are less likely to fall. Keeping active makes us healthier and can contribute to a positive, happier outlook on life."
Anyone interested in participating with Wisdom Steps, please call Carol Hackett at (218) 475-2655. All types of exercise count towards your goal for Wisdom Steps not just walking. The program is open to adults 50 years of age and older.
The ENP has many opportunities to volunteer. Currently ENP is in need of Elders to listen to the grade school children read twice a week. Anyone with some time, please call Patty at the ENP at 457-2655 or 475-2002.
Moose population drops dramatically; no hunting seasonThu, 02/07/2013 - 12:32pm
A recently completed aerial survey of moose in northeastern Minnesota indicates the rate of population decline has accelerated dramatically.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced Wednesday that the northeast population declined 35 percent from last year. Since 2010, the moose population has declined 52 percent.
In response to the survey results, the DNR will not open a 2013 state moose hunting season or consider opening future seasons unless the population recovers.
"The state's moose population has been in decline for years but never at the precipitous rate documented this winter," said Tom Landwehr, DNR commissioner. "This is further and definitive evidence the population is not healthy. It reaffirms the conservation community's need to better understand why this iconic species of the north is disappearing from our state."
Landwehr stressed the state's limited hunts are not the cause of the population decline. "Yet taking this action is reasonable and responsible in light of latest data and an uncertain future," he said
Based on the aerial survey conducted in January, the new population estimate is 2,760 animals, down from 4,230 in 2012. The population estimate was as high as 8,840 as recently as 2006.
"It's now prudent to control every source of mortality we can as we seek to understand causes of population decline,'' said Landwehr.
Starting in January, wildlife researchers began fitting 100 moose in northeastern Minnesota with GPS tracking and data collection collars. This multi-year research project will investigate the causes of adult moose mortality, calf mortality, calf survival, moose use of existing habitat and habitat quality.
To date, 92 collars have been placed on moose in the Grand Marais, Ely and Two Harbors areas.

AARP Tax Aides ready to assist with tax returnsWed, 02/06/2013 - 1:21pm
The local AARP tax aide volunteers have been training every Tuesday in January and February. They also attended a mandatory IRS "webinar" on Wednesday, January 23.
All of this training is necessary, explained Pam McDougall, one of the number crunchers at the webinar. "There are always a lot of changes—and we expect even more this year."
At their Tuesday sessions, the volunteers review tax exercises, update tax prep computers and prepare for the 2012 tax law tests. It seems like a lot of hard work for volunteers, but another volunteer, Chuck Flickinger said, "We enjoy it. It is rewarding to help people through the process."
The local AARP TaxAides will once again be helping members of the community with their federal and state income taxes, and property tax refunds—free of charge.
People are helped on a first-come first-serve basis. Once tax aides have gotten the information and tax documents, they can tell you when your tax return will be ready, so that you can leave and come back later if you wish.
A TaxAide will check your return for accuracy, after which you will receive a printed copy of your return, which will be e-filed to the government, with your refund arriving in one to four weeks depending upon your choice of direct deposit or mail.
Rep. Dill supports DNR season closure: "Moose is iconic."Wed, 02/06/2013 - 1:02pm
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced today the moose population in Northeastern Minnesota has dropped 35 percent from last year. The agency said it will not hold a season this fall or consider opening future seasons unless the population recovers.
District 3A Rep. David Dill said he fully supports the DNR action, and called the population drop "precipitous." WTIP's Jay Andersen spoke with Dill moments after the season announcement was made.

Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 15 votes )
With a name like Snow Tha Product, you might think she hails from Alaska or Colorado, but as her new single suggests she is all about the West Coast. And as you might imagine with a song entitled, Cali Luv, Tupac's California Love is chopped up by the The Cataracs and given an EDM makeover. While the frenzied, high-octane beat might scare off your average emcee Snow fully embraces the track. She matches the beats pace with a blistering flow of her own, which she uses to display her love for California and its no-stop party scene. This is Snow's first appearance of 2013, following last year's Good Nights & Bad Mornings. Lets hope that there are more summer party anthems from the Atlantic Records emcee in the near future.

Now that GW:EN is out, you can finally make the ULTIMATE RA/FA build. And by ultimate I mean "most horrible"
Illusion 12+3+1+3 (2x Superior Rune)
Fast Casting 12+3
Inspiration 3+3
Armor: All +10 while in a stance
Weapon: Sword w/+30 life, shield with +30 life/-2 dmg in stance
Total Health: 240
1. Mantra of Recovery (1/2 skill recharge to spam these skills)
2. Aneurysm
3. Illusion of Pain
4. Drain Delusions
5. Life Attunement
6. Illusion of Weakness
7. Resurrect
8. Channeling
You might be thinking, what is the point of this build? The point is actually to be the most inane, anger provoking build possible. Let's go down the list...
1. MOR is just there so you can spam this stuff when needed
2. Aneurysm: at 0 domination, you can give EVERY ENEMY all their energy back every 2.5 seconds! They will take barely any damage. Neato! If you happen to hit an ele or something and hurt them too much...
3 & 4. Cast Illusion of Pain followed IMMEDIATELY by #4, Drain delusions. This will heal them for 150 life! The foe will lose energy, which is SAD, but hey you can follow up with another Aneurysm to restore their lost energy! You can heal the enemy team very rapidly this way.
5. Just in case some warrior or ranger on your team decides he's gonna do extra damage to make up for your backstabbing, throw life attunement on them to lower their dmg by 30%!!! Plus, since you have 0 pts in healing, they will not really gain any healing bonus!
6. If your monk is doing too good a job at keeping you alive, cast this at any time to kill yourself. You have JUST enough HP to not survive the casting!
7. Of course with all this helping the enemy team, your teammates might die. Good thing you can rez them at 25% life, 0% energy! And with 16 fast casting you will probably beat out your other teammates attempts at using their rez!
8. A good way to keep up energy without hurting the enemy team.
OK so in summary this build
1. Heals enemies
2. Lowers your team's damage
3. Gives foes full energy, and heals anneurysm damage
4. Rezzes teammates in a way that guarantees they die
5. Has a self destruct button!
For maximum efficiency announce your build at the start of the fight. This works better in AB since your whole team can't just leave instantly.
as a final note this is a joke, I would never play this build, but isn't it hilarious to see how evil these skills allow you to be???!
