Fantastic - thorough, knowledgeable and continually gets to the bottom of my medical issues where other doctors failed. Lovely office setting, calm, super staff. All around the best.
very good! listened and did not rush me like most doctors do.
Very professional, taking a great deal of time to explain upcoming surgery and my expectation.
Best doctor ever!
Very positive experience from a very professional team
Deeply knowledgeable, I would rather go to Dr. Aguilar than a medical specialist for almost any illness or condition. Really cares about his patients.
Very professional - initially not very friendly or welcoming - overly clinical, but warmed up throughout the appointment. This was my first appointment with Dr. Aguilar. He was very thorough and clear in describing various things. I will definitely visit him again.
I was greeted with an efficient and knowledgeable doctor who knew his stuff. He had an opportunity to put into his computer my medications and medical background and immediately had a read on my needs and requirements and a plan for what to following on. Very professional and all business. On time and thorough . His staff was excellent

Preserving Cognitive Status in Elderly Surgical Patients Requiring General Anesthesia
The elderly brain is more vulnerable to the adverse effects of surgery and anesthesia compared with the younger brain. Both anecdotally and in clinical investigation, the elderly surgical population has been found to exhibit a significantly higher prevalence of postoperative cognitive decline. The most common manifestations of this decline are postoperative delirium (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD).

Biliary atresia (BA) is a rare disease, characterized by progressive and obliterative cholangiopathy, and is one of the major causes of secondary vitamin K deficiency in infancy. We describe 15 infants (10 female, 5 male) with BA, presenting with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), including 10 subdural hemorrhages, 4 subarachnoid hemorrhages, 2 intraventricular hemorrhages, and 1 intraparenchymal hemorrhage. The age at onset of ICH ranged from 26 to 79 (mean 54.2) days. Eight patients underwent successful surgical evacuation of ICH, following administration of vitamin K. All 15 patients underwent Kasai portoenterostomy for BA 8–30 days after onset. During a mean follow-up period of 86.8 (range 2–352) months, 4 patients died of liver failure despite lack of neurological sequelae. Two patients underwent living-related donor and 1 patient living-unrelated donor liver transplantation. Only 2 patients suffered neurological signs and symptoms, including mental retardation and epilepsy, whereas 3 were noted to have temporary hemiparesis which recovered completely during the follow-up period. The possibility of BA should be considered in the treatment of ICH due to vitamin K deficiency, since it is reported to be one of the major causes of secondary vitamin K deficiency. Urgent surgical intervention for ICH can be performed successfully following sufficient administration of vitamin K or fresh frozen human plasma. Moreover, early performance of Kasai portoenterostomy is possible even for patients who have undergone craniotomy.

Metabolic Syndrome
In this article
What is Metabolic Syndrome?
Metabolic syndrome, also known as syndrome X or dysmetabolic syndrome, refers to a cluster of metabolic conditions that can lead to heart disease.
The main features of metabolic syndrome include insulin resistance, hypertension (high blood pressure), abnormal cholesterol, and an increased risk for clotting. People diagnosed with this syndrome are usually overweight or obese.

Why Are African-Americans at Greater Risk for Heart Disease?
Heart disease has haunted generations of Robin Drummond's family. "I have a family history of heart disease on both sides," says the 55-year-old African-American and resident of Hammond, La. "I've had uncles, aunts, and grandparents who've died from heart attacks and heart disease, and two of my mother's brothers died four months apart. One had a heart attack in church, and four months later, one had a heart attack in the post office." When Drummond's father succumbed to heart disease...
Read the Why Are African-Americans at Greater Risk for Heart Disease? article > >
Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body produces insulin but does not use it properly. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps the body use glucose, a form of sugar, for energy. If a person has insulin resistance, his or her body is not converting glucose for use by muscles and other tissues.
How Is Metabolic Syndrome Diagnosed?
According to American Heart Association guidelines, any three of the following traits in the same person meet the criteria for the metabolic syndrome:
- Abdominal obesity: a waist circumference over 102 cm (40 in) in men and over 88 cm (35 inches) in women
- Serum triglycerides: 150 mg/dl or above, or taking medication for elevated triglycerides
- HDL (''good'') cholesterol: 40mg/dl or lower in men and 50mg/dl or lower in women
- Blood pressure of 130/85 or above (or taking medication for high blood pressure)
- Fastingblood glucose of 100 mg/dl or above
The World Health Organization (WHO) has slightly different criteria for defining the metabolic syndrome:
- High insulin levels, an elevated fasting blood glucose or an elevated post-meal glucose alone with at least two of the following criteria:
- Abdominal obesity as defined by a waist-to-hip ratio of greater than 0.9, a body mass index of at least 30 kg/m2 or a waist measurement over 37 inches
- Cholesterol panel showing a triglyceride level of at least 150 mg/dl or an HDL cholesterol lower than 35 mg/dl
- Blood pressure of 140/90 or higher (or on treatment for high blood pressure)
How Common Is Metabolic Syndrome?
Approximately 20%-30% of the population in industrialized countries has metabolic syndrome.
What Causes Metabolic Syndrome?
As is true with many medical conditions, genetics and the environment both play important roles in the development of metabolic syndrome.

Britt Hayes is a writer, movie lover, and sensible sweater enthusiast living in Austin, Texas. She watches too much TV and never eats her vegetables. Her mom is worried about her.
Maybe you find yourself listening to the 'Game of Thrones' theme song and thinking it's missing something, and if you're a particularly creative individual, maybe you think that something is farm animals. We've heard many variations on the 'Game of Thrones' theme song, from vintage video game recreations to the kid stars of the show singing it themselves, but believe us, you've never heard anything as weird (and hilarious) as the 'Game of Thrones' theme song when it's sung by goats. Ladies and gentlemen, this is 'Game of Goats.'
Released in 1992, 'Sister Act' starred Whoopi Goldberg as a lounge singer from Reno, put in protective custody and forced to stay at a convent, where she must pretend to be a nun to evade a dangerous mob boss. The film was a smash hit and inspired a sequel, released the following year, and a musical that went on to debut on Broadway in 2011. 22 years later, we revisit the cast of this beloved classic comedy and see what they're up to now.
While we're still a few weeks away from the debut of 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' Sony has premiered another clip from the film, and this one dispenses with all the danger and villainous threats, instead focusing on something a little more lighthearted and fun. Spidey shows off his epic free fall and web-slinging skills in the latest bit of footage, giving us a respite from all the madness -- but don't worry, it's still a lot of action.
Those who tuned into NBC's live coverage of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi tonight were greeted with a little something extra from the network: during a commercial break, NBC teased the return of 'Heroes,' the television series created by Tim Kring, which ended in 2010. The new standalone series is appropriately titled 'Heroes Reborn,' as teased when the word "Reborn" flashed under the classic logo during the special promo.
There was a lot of talk before Martin Scorsese's 'The Wolf of Wall Street' hit theaters about the length of the film: the release had been delayed so Scorsese could get the runtime down to an acceptable three hours from what was said to be a four-hour version of the film, and although Scorsese never releases "director's cuts" of his films, we're hearing you will be able to see his four-hour cut after all when the Blu-ray hits shelves this year.
If you're like some of us around here, you mostly watch the Super Bowl for the hilarious commercials and the awesome new movie trailers. But there's one you won't be seeing on TV: Scarlett Johansson's Super Bowl commercial for SodaStream, which was banned from airing during the upcoming game.
'The LEGO Movie' hits theaters next month, so we've been seeing more and more TV spots and ads for the new animated adventure flick from Phil Lord and Chris Miller, the hilarious minds behind 'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs' and the upcoming '22 Jump Street.' Today, Warner Bros. dropped a new international spot, featuring some new footage focusing a little more on Elizabeth Banks' punky and heroic Wyldstyle character.
The 2014 SAG Awards winners were revealed on January 18 during the ceremony hosted on TNT, with presenters including Bradley Cooper, Amy Adams, Tina Fey, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jeremy Renner, and many more. Unlike the Oscars, the Screen Actors Guild Awards acknowledge both film and television -- and unlike the Golden Globes, they recognize ensemble casts in addition to individual performances. They even include a category honoring stuntmen and women for their action performances in film and television. Read on for the nominees and winners of the 2014 SAG Awards!
Dave Madden, beloved star of the classic television series 'The Partridge Family,' has passed away at the age of 83. Madden played the role of the family's oft put-upon band manager Reuben Kincaid, who often was annoyed by the shenanigans of young Danny, played by former child star Danny Bonaduce. Madden was also the star of the '70s show 'Laugh-In.'
It didn't take very long for things to get downright nutty at tonight's Golden Globe awards. Following a hilarious opening from Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and a super awkward but totally endearing acceptance speech from Jennifer Lawrence, veteran actress Jacqueline Bisset took the stage to accept an award for Best Supporting Actress for a mini-series or TV movie for her performance in 'Dancing on the Edge.' And then things got pretty crazy.
While 'Star Wars: Episode 7' has been gearing up for production, plenty of names have been rumored to have taken meetings with J.J. Abrams for roles in the upcoming trilogy. Now comes word of three actors whom Abrams has been eyeing for a possible leading role: Michael Fassbender, Hugo Weaving, and 'Girls' star Adam Driver. And we've also got some details on Abrams' reworked script, which is said to focus more heavily on Luke, Leia, and Han.
We're saddened to report that Edward Herrmann, best known for roles in 'Gilmore Girls' and horror classic 'The Lost Boys,' has passed away this morning at the age of 71. Herrmann's career spanned over 40 years, from his role in 1973's 'The Paper Chase,' to more recently starring in the 'Town That Dreaded Sundown' remake. On the last day of 2014, we've lost yet another great actor.

Mizzou vs. Fairleigh Dickinson
Head Coach, Mike Anderson Quotes
Opening statement:
"I thought the energy level was really good tonight. It started with our defense and when this team plays with that kind of energy and they are on the same page defensively, a lot of good things happen. Now the goal for this basketball team is to take that same kind of energy on the road. I think we have the pieces here. I tell the guys, it's like putting together a puzzle with this team you're trying to find the pieces that fit. And that's why take some guys to the line just to see how they would come out and perform. A guy like Mike Dixon and Laurence Bowers, I thought they came out and they did well. There's not a whole lot of difference in the talent level between the players. If we can keep these guys hungry and humble then I think we really got a chance to get better ."
On keeping Kim English humble:
"I think we will. As he continues to understand his role on the team, for a guy like that who can shoot the basketball, I think this is the ideal team to play for because you have to share the basketball and create opportunities not only for themselves but for everybody. When you're playing that fast, and with that kind of energy, somebody's going to be open. Matt Lawrence was a recipient of guys attacking the basket and he just spots up. Keith, his numbers may not show it, but he had some quality minutes tonight."
On intensity in practice the past week:
"It was really good. I think there was some carry over. We have guys that play for us and they know hard it is when you play with the energy level on defense. It's hard to go 4 or 5 minutes at a time. Somehow in some guys' minds they paced themselves. For the most part tonight I saw guys really get up and get after it and then the next wave of guys came on and continued to play really good basketball. It created a really easy opportunity, but I can't say enough about our defense. I think the first half took a lot out of Farleigh Dickinson. They had some guys playing 20 minutes where my guys were playing 10, 9, 8 minutes and were coming at them in waves."
On the win as a 50th Birthday present from the team:
"It was good. We just got to continue to get better. We are a work in progress. I'm going to be our harshest critic. It's one thing to play one way at home but good teams are consistent and they do it on the road. So we are searching for that consistency. So I can know what I'm going to get out of each guy. As you put the pieces together, I got to know what I'm going to get out of each guy, each night. Keith Ramsey, he may not show it in points but he's very good. He's very important to what we do, he's always around the ball, loose balls, rebounds, he's fixing things on defense. I think it's just a matter of time before things to start taking place for him, in terms of scoring."
On playing time for all players:
"It can't do anything but help their confidence. The more guys that get the chance to play, the happier the team is, especially when you win. I'm not real happy yet but we're getting better, we're a work in progress. I want to see us really continue to improve and take that away from the confines of Mizzou Arena. "
Mizzou Player Quotes
Missouri vs. Fairleigh-Dickinson 12/12/09
Senior Guard Zaire Taylor
On not starting:
"I don't concern myself with that stuff. I can only play as hard as I can when I'm out there. It wasn't a main concern of mine. I just went out there and played hard.
On who stepped up:
"Mike [Dixon] played some real good basketball, and Kim clearly stands out with 20 points. It was really a balanced attack and Laurence shot 6-for-8 from the field, so when you look at those three guys they really jump out at you. Everybody shot the ball well. Everybody, besides me was over 50 percent. We all played well as a whole. I don't think it was any individual effort."
Sophomore Forward Laurence Bowers
On what can be taken from this game:
"It gave us time to work on the stuff we needed to work on. Coach always says every game is a big game. It was good to get our freshman in, the guys that don't get to play that much. I think it was great for the team to get them in and get them involved."
On how this game carries over to away games:
"We definitely don't want to be home boys. On the road it seems we play at the other team's pace, we haven't been forcing our will on the other team. I think if we take the intensity from tonight and carry it over to these next few games, we'll be ok."
On the hot start by Kim English:
"Kim is always fired up, in general. He's an energy guy off the court. It showed in this game, he came out and was lights out.
Fairleigh-Dickinson Head Coach Greg Vetrone Quotes:
On tonight's game:
"Forty minutes of the fastest basketball in the world—we saw it tonight. They're good. They've got a great team, and Mike Anderson's a great coach. They've got a great arena and great fans. I'm hoping they win a national championship, so I can say we lost by 50 to the national champ. That's how you've got to look at it."

Luis Suarez scored twice and set up another goal as Liverpool beat Sunderland 3-0 on Wednesday to win consecutive Premier League matches for only the second time this season. On the same day Liverpool bought Daniel Sturridge to ease the scoring burden on Suarez, the Uruguay forward found the net in the 26th and 52nd minutes for his 14th and 15th league goals of the season - one behind leading scorer Robin van Persie. Raheem Sterling gave Liverpool a 1-0 lead in the 19th at Anfield after receiving Suarez's lobbed pass and then calmly chipping the goalkeeper. Liverpool, which won 3-0 at Queens Park Rangers on Sunday, has now risen two spots to eighth in the standings, seven points behind fourth-place Chelsea but having played a match more. Sunderland stayed 14th, four points above the relegation zone.

Risk and Return Measures - Sample Questions 11 - 15
- Your client, Geoffrey Harrow, inquires about the appropriateness of a municipal bond for his portfolio. You would tell him that:
- The inclusion of a municipal bond would make little sense for a taxpayer in a high marginal tax bracket.
- Municipal bonds are typically exempt from all manner of income tax.
- A revenue bond's debt is serviced by an income generating facility and bears less risk than a general obligation bond.
- Municipal bonds contain implicit federal backing.
- Calculate the after-tax yield for an investor in the 35% marginal tax bracket. The investment yielded 17.3% with 14% coming from capital appreciation and the remaining 3.3% coming from dividends.
- 11.2%
- 16.15%
- Between 15% and 17.3%
- Both b & c.
- The difference between beta and alpha is:
- Beta measures systematic risk, whereas alpha measure total risk.
- Beta measures total risk, where as alpha measures excess over market risk.
- Alpha measures the incremental return that a manager adds over the benchmark, while beta measures risk in the market for a portfolio of securities.
- Beta measures market risk, whereas alpha measures excess return.
- Measures of central tendency include all of the following, EXCEPT:
- Time-weighted return.
- Dollar-weighted return.
- Standard deviation.
- Coefficient of variation.
- Semivariance may be defined as:
- A simplified version of standard deviation.
- A measure of skew.
- The average squared deviation below the mean.
- A measure of value at risk.

Fudadin hits 71 on slow Day 1 for Guyana
Bridgetown, Barbados - Guyana batted out a slow Day 1 against the Combined Campuses & Colleges at the Three Ws Oval, getting to Stumps on 209/6 - a run rate of 2.32 runs an over.
Opener Assad Fudadin was the lead anchor in the early part of the innings, hitting 71 runs from 209 balls. He would play a part in three early partnerships for the visiting Guyanese.
There was a sense of caution from the Guyana team, who batted slowly and defensively. Fellow opener, Tagenarine Chanderpaul, faced 78 balls to score eight runs before he was caught behind.
And that was merely the story of the day for the Guyanese batsmen. Captain Leon Johnson made 34 runs from 60 balls, hitting five boundaries in the process.
When Fudadin was out, Guyana had a collapse, falling from 137/3 to 169/6. Fudadin hit six fours and two sixes during his knock. Christopher Barnwell and wicket-keeper, Anthony Bramble, has so far met in a 40-run partnership.
Barnwell ended the day on 22 while Bramble is with him on 20. Pacer, Kevin McClean and Raymon Reifer both picked up two wickets each. Day 2 starts at 3pm Eastern Caribbean Time tomorrow.
Summary Scores:
Guyana 1st Innings: 209/6 (90 Overs). Assad Fudadin 71, Leon Johnson* 34, Christopher Barnwell 22*, Anthony Bramble+ 20*; Raymon Reifer 17-7-35-2, Kevin McClean 14-3-36-2, Ryan Austin 23-9-51-1, Kesrick Williams 16-2-40-1.

After teaching for several years at Harvard, Moynihan returned to government as a special adviser to President Nixon. He later served as ambassador to India (1973-75) and to the United Nations (1975-76). He was first elected to the U.S. Senate from New York as a Democrat in 1976 and was reelected three times. Although Moynihan's policy declarations in the 1960s and early 70s were among the most significant formulations of what was called "neoliberalism" or "neoconservatism," in the Senate he was a consistent critic of the Reagan and Bush administrations, which enjoyed the support of many neoconservatives, and a strong supporter of Democratic presidents Carter and Clinton. He chaired the Senate finance committee from 1993 to 1995. He also had a lifelong interest in architecture and did much to retain, restore, and build important structures in New York City and Washington. Moynihan retired from the Senate in 2001; subsequently, he served on the faculty of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Syracuse Univ. His many books include Family and Nation (1986), Came the Revolution (1988), On the Law of Nations (1990), and Secrecy (1998).

Geographic Range
Tamias sibiricus is the only member of the genus Tamias found outside North America. It is found naturally in northern Asia from central Russia to China, Korea, and northern Japan. It is also found in eastern Europe as a result of individuals escaping from captivity. ("Siberian Chipmunk", 2009; Weathers, 2006)
- Biogeographic Regions
- palearctic
Siberian chipmunks live primarily on the forest floor where there is plenty of cover and among rocky outcroppings and in human structures, such as house foundations. They are also excellent climbers. (Weathers, 2006)
- Habitat Regions
- temperate
- terrestrial
Physical Description
Siberian chipmunks are 18 to 25 cm in total length, including a tail that is approximately one third of that length. Body length is 12 to 17 cm. The fur on the back is yellow to brown, with white fur on the chest and belly. There are 5 dark and 4 light colored stripes that runs down the back. Body mass varies with season and availability of food. A typical Siberian chipmunk will weigh 50 to 150g. (; "Siberian Chipmunk", 2009)
- Other Physical Features
- endothermic
- homoiothermic
- bilateral symmetry
- Sexual Dimorphism
- sexes alike
- Range mass
- 50 to 150 g
- 1.76 to 5.29 oz
- Range length
- 12 to 17 cm
- 4.72 to 6.69 in
There is little known information on the mating systems of Siberian chipmunks. Most other chipmunks and squirrels have a promiscuous mating system. (Saddington, 2007)
The breeding season of Tamias sibericus begins in the second half of April. After a gestation period of 28 to 35 days a litter of 3 to 8 young is born. In Europe a second litter may be born over the summer months. Size at birth is 3.8 to 4g. ("Siberian Chipmunk", 2009; Saddington, 2007)
- Key Reproductive Features
- iteroparous
- seasonal breeding
- gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate)
- sexual
- viviparous
- Breeding interval
- Siberian chipmunks breed once to twice yearly, depending on location.
- Breeding season
- Breeding occurs from April to June.
- Range number of offspring
- 3 to 8
- Range gestation period
- 28 to 35 days
- Range weaning age
- 7 (high) weeks
- Range time to independence
- 8 (low) weeks
- Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female)
- 9 months
- Average age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male)
- 9 months
Females are solely responsible for care of the offspring. The eyes of the young typically open after 20 to 25 days. The mother will take the young out foraging at 6 weeks old, weaning will be complete by 7 weeks, and at 8 weeks the young will be old enough to look for territory of their own. (Saddington, 2007)

Siberian chipmunks live for a maximum 2 to 5 years in the wild, and 6 to 10 years in captivity. Several reports of Siberian chipmunks living past 10 years as personal pets have been reported. ("Siberian Chipmunk", 2009)
- Typical lifespan
Status: wild
- 2 to 5 years
- Typical lifespan
- Typical lifespan
Status: captivity
- 6 to 10 years
- Typical lifespan
Siberian chipmunks are active during the day and sleep at night. During the winter months they will enter a period of torpor, waking every few weeks to eat food stored in their burrow. Like other squirrels, they will bury food up to 5 cm deep in soil. Siberian chipmunks are constantly cleaning themselves, starting with the back and ending with the tail. Sometimes one chipmunk will bathe another. (Weathers, 2006)
- Key Behaviors
- scansorial
- terricolous
- fossorial
- diurnal
- motile
- sedentary
- hibernation
Home Range
Little information on Tamias sibericus homne range size was readily available. Other Tamias species dig burrows throughout their lives. Towards the end of their lifespan burrows can encompass a 30 square m area with multiple chambers for bedding and food storage. There may even be a latrine that is used during the winter months. Chipmunks empty latrine chambers at the beginning of spring, depositing the waste far from the entrance so as to not attract predators. ("Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus)", 2009)
Communication and Perception
Siberian chipmunks have 2 vocalizations. The first is a fast "cheep" that sounds a lot like a bird call. This is used when frightened, and lasts only 1/5 of a second. It is often used 3 to 6 times in succession. The second sound is a deep croaking sound. It is unknown what this croak is used for, although it is believed to be related to mating. They may also use visual and scent cues in communication, although this has not been documented.
- Communication Channels
- acoustic
Food Habits
Siberian chipmunks are omnivores. In the wild their diet consists of seeds and grains, fungi, fruits, vegetables, grains, insects, small birds, and lizards.
- Primary Diet
- omnivore
- Animal Foods
- birds
- reptiles
- insects
- terrestrial non-insect arthropods
- Plant Foods
- seeds, grains, and nuts
- fruit
- Other Foods
- fungus
- Foraging Behavior
- stores or caches food
Natural predators for Siberian chipmunks include birds of prey, weasels, and cats, although specific predator species are not reported in the literature. These chipmunks are vigilant and agile, escaping to their burrows when threatened. They are also cryptically colored in their forest undergrowth habitats. ("Siberian Chipmunk", 2009)
- Anti-predator Adaptations
- cryptic
- Known Predators
- diurnal raptors (Falconiformes)
- weasels (Mustela)
- small cats (Felis)
Ecosystem Roles
Siberian chipmunks provide an important food source to their predators. Chipmunks are also important seed distributors due to their buried and forgotten caches. Like other chipmunks, they help to disperse fungal spores, dispersing important forest fungi. Parasite species are not reported for Siberian chipmunks. ("Siberian Chipmunk", 2009)
- Ecosystem Impact
- disperses seeds
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Siberian chipmunks disperse tree and plant seeds and fungal spores that aid in forest regeneration. Siberian chipmunks are occasionally kept as pets and their pelts are sometimes used. They may help to control pests, especially in outbreaks of forest tree pests. ("Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus)", 2009; Danell, et al., 1998; Weathers, 2006; "Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus)", 2009; Danell, et al., 1998; Weathers, 2006; "Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus)", 2009; Danell, et al., 1998; Weathers, 2006; "Eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus)", 2009; Danell, et al., 1998; Weathers, 2006)
- Positive Impacts
- pet trade
- body parts are source of valuable material
- controls pest population
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Siberian chipmunks may occasionally eat crops and damage gardens. Like other mammals, they may carry diseases or host fleas infected with plague. ("Siberian Chipmunk", 2009; Weathers, 2006)
- Negative Impacts
injures humans
- carries human disease
- crop pest
Conservation Status
Siberian chipmunks are considered "least concern" by the IUCN because they are widespread and common throughout their range. There have been no recorded declines in populations.
- IUCN Red List
Least Concern

"We're reaching people they aren't," says Zelkind.
The recent California power crunch and record-high gas prices have also helped bring energy and environment to the pulpit.
"When people's pocketbooks are hurt, they're more willing to pay attention," says the Rev. Sally Bingham, an Episcopal priest and environmental activist in San Francisco.
Rediscovering Long-Standing Connections
Environmental issues are, of course, not new to religion.
Pope John Paul II, for example, drew attention to the subject 11 years ago in The Ecological Crisis: A Common Responsibility.
Christianity, Judaism and other major faiths all talk about the importance of caring for the earth in their sacred texts.
Attention to the environmental aspects of their creeds is on the rise, however.
"I think we've all gotten clearer that our scriptures have a lot to say on the issue," says the Rev. Rich Killmer, director of environmental justice for the National Council of Churches.

Dirk Nowitzki will take a pay cut in order to clear cap space for the Dallas Mavericks' free agent pursuit of Dwight Howard or Chris Paul. Nowitzki was asked if he has a number in mind. "Not really. We'll cross that bridge when we get there," Nowitzki said. "It kind of depends on what team we can get, too. I've always said that (Mark) Cuban has taken care of me for a long, long time. Money isn't something I play for. I want to compete. I want to win. We'll play this year and hopefully have a great team and then I'll come off the books. Then, we can all sit together again and see how many guys we can get and who is out there. Saying all of that, I think that's something I haven't really thought about yet in terms of an actual number. We'd love to be as competitive as we can be." Nowitzki plans to use his pay cut as a selling point to free agents. "Yeah. Obviously, I'm not going to make $23 million again," Nowitzki said. "I know that. I'm 36 next summer, so this is going to b

34 year old man | Redlands, CA, USA | Seeking women 23-33 within 20 miles
A journey of a 1000 miles begins with a single step.
Let's start off with who I am. I love to be adventurous and live life to it's fullest. I am very open to getting out and having drinks with friends or hitting a resaurant but Im all for making dinner and chilling at home too. One thing I love to do to relax is go for a beach cruiser ride to the penninsula or head out for the weekend and have some fun. I like to do things like riding bicycles of all kinds, camping, going to the beach or lake havasu, mud runs, sprint tri-athelons, desert racing, traveling, fishing, shooting, racing dirt bikes, wine tasting, bar hoping with fiends, and there is a lot more and I am always up to try anything once except sky diving hahaha! I have worked hard to get where I am in my career and I love the industry I work in, I am ver privilaged to want to go to work in the morning. I enjoy spending time with my friends and familiy and I feel they help make a person who they are. Now the reason I am here and what I'm looking for. I'm tired of the bar scene for meeting people and I am looking for a long term relationship not a game. I would like to find someone who takes pride in herself and wants to enjoy life as much as possible. I would also like that person to be open to adventure for example one night sleeping on a beach and the next in an amazing hotel or just grabing a small bag and taking off for a weekend just because. I want to meet someone that will be my best friend and we can tell each other anything and we can have a lot of fun together but I am also not affraid to give her some space and she can go have a good time with her friends too.

How can I afford to stay home with my baby?
I want to be a stay-at-home mom more than anything in the world. Even though I know I have to work for financial reasons, I can't help wishing my life were different, being depressed, crying all the time, being jealous of my friends who stay home, and fighting with my husband every day about not wanting to leave our 8-month-old. This is ruining our marriage, but I don't know how to just accept it. Please help!

Hi I am a mother of a 2 year old princess and am 7 1/2 months pregnant with my little prince. I am currently working full time but have recently became involved with a group of women that all work together at a home based business so that they can stay home. I am on my way there. I would love to introduce you to our team. There is no selling... no parties... great mentoring... friendships... and reaching the goal of being a stay at home mom. You are more then welcome to check out my website at: http://www.themomteam.com/cgi-bin/mom.cgi?id=Ti395144&action=show Tiffany St.Clair email@example.com The MOM Team Working on working at home!posted 02/18/2004 by tstclair2004
I am a mom of 4 kids: ages 10, 8, 5 & 16 mo. and also work a flexible home based business: DISCOVERY TOYS! I would love to share the benefits of this company, and help anyone out there that is wanting to work from home and earn $$. It has been a great choice for our family, and even more so right now, as my husband is in the service and just got called away to overseas for a few months. I am glad I have the flexibility to be there for my kids when they need me most, but also have something for me, so I can earn money, make friends and also earn an all expense paid trip for 2 each year! Email me if you want more info, I would love to share the benefits and help any of you get started. It is fun, simple, there is money to be made, and I will help you!! email@example.com http://www.discoverytoyslink.com/jaciposted 02/07/2004 by JaciO
Wow! Now I know I am not alone with those feelings. I cry everyday when I have to leave my 3 months old boy. He is the most wonderful thing that have ever happened to me but it breaks my heart to leave him. I am also jealous because he loves his nanny so much that he ignores me when she is around. I cried yesterday when I got home because I run to pick him up and kiss him and he didn't even look at me. The problem is that she is always around because she lives with us. I am so depressed that I am making huge mistakes at work. I don't know what to do.posted 01/30/2004 by La Cuaima
To the person who wouldn't share their name but says that everyone can stay at home has no idea what they are talking about. I desperately want to stay at home with my 8 month old son but cannot for financial reasons. I make more money than my husband so it is not possible. To say that everyone can if they want to enough is just plain ignorant and hurtful to those of us who can't. Just because you were able to make it work doesn't mean we all can. Have some compassion instead of just preaching! I cry everyday over leaving my baby and giving up everything I own still wouldn't make it an option for me to quit my job. To the rest of you who are sad leaving your babies just make the most of every second you have with them... and pray that one day you can have more time with them.posted 01/26/2004 by Dotoli
I have three kids and wanted to stay home after the birth of my third. I don't regret the decision but we needed the extra money, so I chose to sell Natural Bodycare products and I am loving it and making enough so that I can continue to say at home. I was surprised at how much I can make and how much people love the products. This "job" gives me all the flexability that moms need. If you want further information let me know.

I too would love to stay home with my son who is a year old and at the height of seperation anxiety. Unfortunately, I am a single mother so staying at home is NO OPTION AT ALL. Luckily though, I have my son's Grandmother caring for him 4 days out of the week; however, there is one day he must go to the sitter's and he hates it. It breaks my heart to leave him there. Though I know he's getting excellent care, he still cries most of the day. If you can cut back and stay at home, DO IT. The slim pickings won't last forever and it is far more important to be there for your child. And maybe a part time evening job, i.e. waitressing or retail, could give you some extra cash. Nap when the baby naps and find something you can do a few hours a couple of times a week. Good luck!posted 01/22/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
I never thought I could stay home with my kids. I also never thought in a million years that I could do home parties. I now do both. I was in Human Resources and decided to stay home after my second child was born. It was very tight financially as I provided half of our income. I went to a spa party with a friend and could not believe how well the products worked. the representative recommended two products for my sons eczema and they cleared him up. I never had relief from the skin thinning steroid creams the little guy had to use. I decided to become an Independent Representative if for nothing else, to save on the products that I loved to use. Little did I know - so many people loved them too. It is not like selling a kitchen gadget to someone who really doesn't like to cook, or candles or makeup. Everyone has to wash their hair and body. I work 2 days a week and one evening a month I go to a training meeting. I p[lay with my kids and have never had the financial security that I have now. If anyone is interested in more information, I would love to help you enjoy the things that I am now enjoying. No pressure or sales pitch, if you are interested I'll send you the facts. Take care and happy "Home Based Business" hunting! email: firstname.lastname@example.com 01/13/2004 by Gator's Mom
Gosh, I really feel for all of you guys. I too was a working mom until just yesterday - my last official day on the job in corporate America. It has been a LONG time coming... Caden will be one year next week, but it took us this long to figure out what at-home businesses would work for me. This is really dificult to find since most want you to invest large amounts of money or are scams. I know this is not a forum where we are supposed to advertise anything so, if you want more info on my at-home business, you can feel free to contact me at home at 281.332.0969 or by email - firstname.lastname@example.com I just couldn't pass up this without offering my advice... guess it is that counseling degree coming back to me. Good luck to you. Piperposted 01/01/2004 by AtHomePiper
Virginia, I have a 9 1/2 year old a 6 year old and a 9 week old. I have been an at home mom when we could afford it. It broke my heart to go back to work this last time. Just like it did before. Especially now because my son does not like his babysitter. I understand when you say you can't afford to stay home. Our house IS downsized. Our cars work on a day to day basis. I pray everytime I get in one that I can make it to work. I deal with things getting shut off on a day to day basis. Can't afford fuel oil right now so we use space heaters and will deal with the power bill later. You do what you have to do. Things will change and maybe you can spend time with your child a little later. You pray and trust that God will help you find a way. Remeber He does work in mysterious ways. Don't look for what you want look for His answer.posted 12/20/2003 by BudnDannysmom
I know the feeling...I go back to work on Monday after being at home for the last 3 months with my newborn son. I am excited to return to work (we also cannot afford me not to work) but feel extremely guilty about leaving our son in daycare. So we have compromised...I've decreased my hours at work so I can spend more time at home but am also contributing to our household expenses.posted 11/20/2003 by A'sMaman

Reopening of I-64 bridge at Louisville brings cheer to businesses
NEW ALBANY, Ind. (AP) The reopening of the Sherman Minton Bridge has business returning to normal more than five months after a crack in load-bearing steel led to Gov. Mitch Daniels to order the span over the Ohio River closed.
At The Keg Liquors on Market Street in New Albany, manager Charity Cochran says business was better than normal Saturday after the bridge reopened late Friday. She says she saw several Kentucky driver's licenses among those of her customers that she checked.
The Transit Authority of River City says it will resume normal bus services between Louisville and southern Indiana this week.
The bridge had been used by more than 80,000 vehicles per day between New Albany and Louisville, Ky. Traffic shifted to two other Ohio River bridges, causing longer rush-hour delays.

Stupid dumb stock manipulations made this waay to cheap.
its been this cheap every year
Any idea when and if ING will pay a dividend? I am thinking by next year after they pay the Dutch government back, maybe they will pay around .40 euros or about 50 cents US...any thoughts...is this realistic?I have been disappointed with investment for years...the only good deal has been the Preferreds.TC
Do you happen to know how much ING owes the Dutch govt? I seem to recall the number 3 billion somewhere (I forget which currency). If that is true, that is not much of a challenge to ING since it has sold about 17-18 billion dollars worth of assets (... without the stock price moving up at all!).
No,but they can better not paying any div because it will saving a lot of capital so the stockprice can going up.ING has a equity of $17 per share.At the moment Europe is in recession loan to value of ING is 60% ,they have little troubles about the recession .Hold your shares in 2013 Europe is out of the recession and ING is worth $20 per share.

Holy Data Breach, Batman! Hackers Hit Comixology
Not even superheroes are safe from data breaches.
Popular online and mobile digital-comics store Comixology informed its subscribers today (March 6) that "an unauthorized individual" had accessed its database of customers' usernames, email addresses and passwords.
MORE: How to Protect Yourself From Data Breaches
However, the passwords were encrypted, Comixology said in its email to subscribers. Even if the passwords were stolen, they shouldn't be readable so long as the encryption was decent.
Comixology also said it didn't store users' payment information on its own servers, so the intruder wouldn't be able to access Comixology readers' credit-card numbers and other payment data.
Registered Comixology users should have received emails this morning alerting them to the data breach. Any mobile devices on which the app is loaded should have received push notifications.
If you use Comixology, you should change your account password, either via the website or the mobile app. If you use the same username or password — particularly if you use the pair together — anywhere else, you should change those as well.
It's not clear when Comixology first detected the intruder. The email alert said that the unauthorized access was discovered "in the course of a recent review and upgrade of our security infrastructure." But overall, it looks as if Comixology has done everything right, as far as reporting data breaches goes.

4Christopher Shaffer , March 6, 2014 10:43 AMIf I was going to hack Comixology, I wouldn't steal user info. I'd steal comics. Maybe set myself up with a life-time sub to everything from Vertigo and all the Wolverine titles.These hackers need to get their priorities straight.
1bustapr , March 6, 2014 11:12 AMthats not how it works. these hackers usually work with DDoS attacks to breach security and during the attack they steal small packets of information such as passwords and names. all this is no more than a few minutes. stealing large files such as comics is a whole different thing that isnt possible in this method. and setting up a lifetime sub is a thing of movies.
0rajangel , March 6, 2014 11:43 AMSo long as the encryption was "decent." What a riot, that Comixology doesn't even know what encryption was used in their system. Way to inspire trust in your users, guys.
2Gillerer , March 6, 2014 11:50 AMThere are reasons why businesses don't just share their security protocols in public.Quote:What a riot, that Comixology doesn't even know what encryption was used in their system.
0koga73 , March 6, 2014 12:28 PMThey should have just said the encryption is decent. And hackers did not break in using DDoS. That is only used to bring down a site by flooding it with traffic. Most likely the hacker got in with stolen creds or sql injection. Once in they can export the db (though the passwords should be hashed (one way) not encrypted (two way)). And it may be possible for a hacker to give themselves a "lifetime subscription". All they would have to do is find in the db where subscriptions are handled and add or modify a row.
-2ddpruitt , March 6, 2014 12:52 PMYea because they know they're crap. Security by obscurity has never worked. Between a website that let's everyone know that use a strong encryption algorithm versus a website that hides the fact that they use MD5, the website that uses MD5 always loses.Quote:There are reasons why businesses don't just share their security protocols in public.Quote:What a riot, that Comixology doesn't even know what encryption was used in their system.

0jimmysmitty , March 6, 2014 10:34 PMSo long as they used something strong like AES 256 they wont get it. Most smart companies use at least that.
2Heironious , March 7, 2014 12:45 AMOh...my...gawd. All 12 users have had their passwords stolen!!
0c123456 , March 7, 2014 4:08 AM@ddpruitt: You really think they used MD5? It's been well known not to use it, SHA-1, etc for quite a while now on online passwords. Using either bcrypt or AES, and they're golden. bcrypt has some very good implementations in basically every server side language for this purpose even.
0Christopher Shaffer , March 7, 2014 7:49 AM@bustapr Wow, if ever there was a complete lack of understanding of sarcasm, there it is.My post is what is sometimes referred to as a joke, using a form of blatant sarcasm to suggest an improbable idea.That said, I'm an EE and I work in software development, so I'm very clear on the methods and what hackers employ and have access to, but thanks.

AboutThe annual WHAT festival is a platform for invited artist curators to ask questions of dance, and through dance. This year, the festival re-imagines itself through a public residency and guest lectures. Four public talks on Friday, Saturday and Sunday will look at the thinking body through different lenses: language, writing, philosophy, geography, education and performance. Together, the talks develop a body of thought about how attention operates, how we direct ourselves and our thinking to ways of being full-blooded human. The four guest speakers of the what_now festival: Derek McCormack, Caroline Bergvall, Joris Vlieghe and Laura Cull. A(n Interrupted) Lecture on Attention in 9 Parts Well, what nature does from time to time, by distraction, for certain privileged individuals, could not philosophy on such a matter attempt, in another sense and another way, for everyone? Would not the role of philosophy under such circumstances be to lead us to a completer [sic] perception of reality by means of a certain displacement of our attention? It would be a question of turning this attention aside from the part of the universe which interests us from a practical viewpoint and turning it back toward what serves no practical purpose. This conversion of the attention would be philosophy itself." (Henri Bergson)

In Photoshop Elements 9: Scanning and Restoring Photos, professional photo restorer Janine Smith shows how to bring new life to old photos. The course begins with a look at the types of photos that may require restoration, including slides, negatives, prints, and newspaper photos, and options for scanning them. She discusses the types of scanners that are available, from flatbed to film, and the best settings to use for originals. The course then delves into Photoshop Elements tools and techniques to help restore clarity to faded photos and fix problems such as dust, scratches, and tears. Exercise files are included with the course.
There are times when you will have to scan a really large negative or photo in sections. When that happens how will you put them back together? You can do it by hand of course, it's not impossible. I used to do it all before the wonderful features like Photomerge came into being, and got really pretty good at it. But just like a really great talented assistant I and you, can now leave all the hard work to Photomerge. Be sure to scan your images if you're using your own with a generous overlap. Now let's have a look at all we have here.
Here is our first image of a group of soldiers with an American flag. Next, we have the middle of the group and there are two ladies here. This is the end and a part of the flag and here is the rest of the flag. So now we're going to put these altogether with photomerge by going to File>New and Photomerge Panorama. Let's have a look at our settings here real quick, you want to keep it on Auto, and you want to have Blend Images Together checked.
You can also check Vignette Removal if you have some darkness around the edges, but for right now we're going to leave that unchecked along with Geometric Distortion Correction. And all you do now is click, Add Open Files, and they all appear in the box. And from here all you have to do is click OK and now it's merging it together for you. You can do this Clean Edges procedure if you like, and it'll automatically fill in the edges of your panorama, but I'm going to show you in a minute how you can do that on your own, so right now let's say No.
Now let's zoom in and just see how good a job Photomerge is done. Skip way up in here and that was really easy, wasn't it? You just can't get any easier than that. Let's go to 100% and let's go down here, and just see -- we'll stop every once in a while, and so far I can't tell, can you? This photo which belongs to one of the producers here at lynda.com is of his grandfather the day his unit came back from France after World War I. You'll stop, look at all these happy faces, this is just the best photo, and look at how great that is.
That is a great job in Photomerge. Okay, now let's zoom back out and I'm going to show you a trick to get this back to where it needs to be right over here. This is just a panoramic distortion over here, it's fine, we need to fix this. So we're going to do that little finger twister, make sure all your layers are selected, Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E on a PC, Shift +Command+Option+E on a Mac to merge all the layers into one.
Now we're going to go over here and all you do is Ctrl on the PC command on a Mac, T for Transform, right-click and choose Distort. Now pull these little bars up here to the edge, pull this one down and just straighten them up a little bit, and that's all there is to it.
And the rest of this little edge you can just crop off. Scanning a phone or negative in pieces is no longer the painful task it used to be, thanks to Photomerge. With just a few fast simple steps your image is merged back together beautifully.

Remove the "protection UV filter" if one is present. They do add flare, in dire conditions especially.
If you work with a tripod, project a shade on the lens with your hand (or whatever) in such a way that the hand is not in the picture but the shade falls on the lens.

Italy midfielder Riccardo Montolivo believes the FIFA World Cup™ holders were too "stressed" about the start of the defence of their crown.
Marcello Lippi's side could only draw 1-1 with Paraguay in Cape Town on Monday as they came from behind to salvage a point.
They are now under pressure to get all three in their next game against New Zealand on Sunday but Fiorentina playmaker Montolivo believes they can improve after a tough start.
"The first match is important but we were too stressed about the start of the World Cup," he admitted.
"I'm happy with the match, I had a good shot which the goalkeeper saved in the second half, we had a lot of concentration but were stressed about the start of the World Cup.
We were stressed about the start of the World Cup. At 1-0 we came back a bit to defend and make sure we didn't go 2-0 down.
"Coach Lippi told us we have to try shots on goal but we were not too lucky in this match. We conceded a goal against Paraguay but once it was 1-0 to them we came back a bit to defend and make sure we didn't go 2-0 down. We didn't want to lose the first game.
"The effort and heart we put into this game, I think it shows we can win the next games."
Defender Domenico Criscito, deployed at left-back in an otherwise familiar back four against Paraguay, admits it will take some work to get back to the resolute performances of the 2006 FIFA World Cup-winning side.
"We were not very happy with the result against Paraguay because the team can do better," he insisted. "I was very happy to make my World Cup debut, it's great. We had some problems with the defence and the next match with New Zealand will be very important."

In 2002, Osmand Bangura brought five nephews to Toronto to escape the violence in Sierra Leone, West Africa.
In a twist hard for the family to grasp, the second youngest of those nephews ended up being killed last week in one of the safest countries in the world.
Henry Pratt, 24, was shot Oct. 11. His body was found in a Jane St. and Finch Ave. W. apartment building just after midnight.
About 500 mourners gathered Friday at Delmoro Funeral Home on Beverly Hills Dr., near Jane St. and Wilson Ave. in North York, to pay their respects.
Pratt was "a great kid, and I'm not just saying that because he was my nephew," Bangura said outside the funeral home. "He was looking towards great opportunity in Canada and making a better life for himself."
The boys were brought over without their parents. Their mother was missing for a long time and their father hasn't been seen in years.
With the help of Bangura, other family and church supporters in Toronto, the five brothers arrived here in 2002 under the Citizenship and Immigration family sponsorship plan.
Bangura still remembers the early days in Toronto when the young teen would go to church with the family.
Pratt's murder is "shocking, and senseless," Bangura said.
"When you lose a life as a result of a brutal crime, that's what makes it 10 times worse. We're still trying to figure it out. He was a great kid. Who would want to hurt Henry?"
However, Bangura said he has "trust in the police and the judicial system."
At the funeral home were his four brothers, along with other family members and hundreds from the West African community who have settled in Toronto.
"Today is a very difficult day for all over us."
Pratt was living with his brother Patrick in the area where he was found slain.
He said that as far as he knew, Pratt was taking some courses to improve himself. Bangura said he hadn't seen his nephew since the spring.
Bangura said he and the family are trying to come to terms with Pratt's death.
"It's hard to put into words," Bangura said. "We brought them over here for safety and opportunity and they come here and are faced with violence. He wanted to make good of himself."
He said, however, that he still believes that Toronto is a safe city and he doesn't regret bringing them here.
