Seagrass beds store 20 billion tons of carbon
(05/22/2012) Just below the ocean's surface lies a carbon powerhouse: seagrass meadows. New research in Nature Geoscience estimates that the world's seagrass meadows conservatively store 19.9 billion metric tons of carbon, even though the threatened marine ecosystems make up only 0.2 percent of Earth's surface. The findings lend support to the idea that seagrass protection and restoration could play a major role in mitigating climate change.
New frog species leaves scientists' fingers yellow
(05/22/2012) A beautiful, yellow frog species has been discovered in western Panama, according to a new paper in ZooKeys. Scientists were surprised when handling the new species to find their fingers stained bright yellow by its skin, but even after laboratory research the purpose of this dye remains a mystery. The new species, named Diasporus citrinobapheus, is a member of the large rain frog family, whose members skip the tadpole stage and instead are born directly from eggs as tiny froglets.
Over half of world's tiger reserves lack minimum protection
(05/21/2012) A year-and-a-half after a landmark summit that pledged to double the world's number of tigers by 2022, and still 65 percent of tiger reserves lack minimum standards of protection for the world's largest cat, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Reporting at the first meeting of all 13 tiger-range countries since the 2010 summit, WWF said that 41 tiger reserves of 63 did not have enough boots on the ground to combat tiger poaching.
Cute animal picture (and video) of the day: baby otters
(05/21/2012) The Wildlife Conservation Society's Prospect Park Zoo in New York City has recently seen the arrival of three baby North American river otters (Lontra canadensis), the first born in the city at a zoo or aquarium in over 50 years.
As La Nina ends, world experiences 5th warmest April
(05/21/2012) La Nina conditions, which generally bring colder temperatures to many parts of the world, ended last month resulting in the fifth warmest April since record-keeping began, and the hottest April yet in the terrestrial Northern Hemisphere, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
New armored lizard discovered in landmine-riddled region
(05/21/2012) A new lizard has been discovered in a war-torn area of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). According to a paper in the African Journal of Herpetology<, the new species was found hiding under a rock in the high grasslands of the Marungu Plateau, an area known for landmines.
Growing cardamom impacts forests for decades
(05/17/2012) Over 25 years after people stopped growing cardamom in Sri Lanka's Knuckles Forest Reserve (KFR), the spice crop is still having an impact on the forest, according to a recent study in Forest Ecology and Management. The clearing of understory plants and the use of fertilizers continue to shape the forest in the protected area.
Tribe partners to protect Argentina's most endangered forest
(05/17/2012) Last month, three Guarani communities, the local Argentine government of Misiones, and the UK-based NGO World Land Trust forged an agreement to create a nature reserve connecting three protected areas in the fractured, and almost extinct, Atlantic Forest. Dubbed the Emerald Green Corridor, the reserve protects 3,764 hectares (9,301 acres) in Argentina; although relatively small, the land connects three protected other protected areas creating a combined conservation area (41,000 hectares) around the size of Barbados in the greater Yaboti Biosphere Reserve. In Argentina only 1 percent of the historical Atlantic Forest survives.
Animal picture of the day: the boat-billed heron
(05/16/2012) Boat-billed herons (Cochlearius cochlearius) are found in Central and South America, as far north as Mexico and as far south as Argentina. A notably bizarre heron, the species is the only member of the genus Cochlearius. Like many heron species it feeds on a wide variety of freshwater and terrestrial animals.
Featured video: why one scientist is getting arrested over climate change
(05/16/2012) In March 2012 the head of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies and well-known climatologist, James Hansen, spoke at a TED conference to explain what would push a 70-year-old scientist to participate in civil disobedience against mountaintop coal mining and the Keystone Pipeline, even leading to several arrests.
New population of Myanmar snub-nosed monkey discovered in China
(05/16/2012) Scientists in China have located a second population of the Myanmar snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus strykeri), a primate that was only first discovered two years ago in Myanmar, also known as Burma. Long Yongcheng, scientist with the Nature Conservancy in China, told the China Daily that his team have discovered 50-100 Myanmar snub-nosed monkeys in the Gaoligong Mountain Natural Reserve near the border with Myanmar in Yunnan Province.
Jaguar v. sea turtle: when land and marine conservation icons collide
(05/16/2012) At first, an encounter between a jaguar (Panthera onca) and a green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) seems improbable, even ridiculous, but the two species do come into fatal contact when a female turtle, every two to four years, crawls up a jungle beach to lay her eggs. A hungry jaguar will attack the nesting turtle, killing it with a bite to the neck, and dragging the massive animal—sometime all the way into the jungle—to eat the muscles around the neck and flippers. Despite the surprising nature of such encounters, this behavior, and its impact on populations, has been little studied. Now, a new study in Costa Rica's Tortuguero National Park has documented five years of jaguar attacks on marine turtles—and finds these encounters are not only more common than expected, but on the rise.
Consumption, population, and declining Earth: wake-up call for Rio+20
(05/15/2012) Currently, human society is consuming natural resources as if there were one-and-a-half Earths, and not just a single blue planet, according to the most recent Living Planet Report released today. If governments and societies continue with 'business-as-usual' practices, we could be consuming three years of natural resources in 12 months by 2050. Already, this ecological debt is decimating wildlife populations worldwide, disproportionately hurting the world's poor and most vulnerable, threatening imperative resources like food and water, heating up the atmosphere, and risking global well-being.
Wildlife in the tropics plummets by over 60 percent
(05/15/2012) In 48 years wildlife populations in the tropics, the region that holds the bulk of the world's biodiversity, have fallen by an alarming 61 percent, according to the most recent update to the Living Planet Index. Produced by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), the index currently tracks almost 10,000 populations of 2,688 vertebrate species (including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish) in both the tropics and temperate regions.
U.S. car manufacturers linked to Amazon destruction, slave labor
(05/14/2012) According to a new report by Greenpeace, top U.S. car companies such as Ford, General Motors, and Nissan are sourcing pig iron that has resulted in the destruction of Amazon rainforests, slave labor, and land conflict with indigenous tribes. Spending two years documenting the pig iron trade between northeastern Brazil and the U.S., Greenpeace has discovered that rainforests are cut and burned to power blast furnaces that produce pig iron, which is then shipped to the U.S. for steel production.
Educating the next generation of conservation leaders in Colombia
(05/14/2012) Colombia's northern departments of Cordoba and Bolivar are home to an abundance of coral reefs, estuaries, mangroves forests, and forests. Rich in both marine and terrestrial wildlife, local communities depend on the sea and land for survival, yet these ecosystems are imperiled by booming populations, overexploitation, and unsustainable management. Since 2007, an innovative education program in the region, the Guardians of Nature, has worked to teach local children about the ecology of the region, hoping to instill a conservation ethic that will aid both the present and the future.
Terra preta found in Asia
(05/14/2012) Indigenous people of the Amazon produced rich agricultural soil by adding charcoal, manure, and animal bones to the otherwise nutrient-poor dirt of the world's greatest rainforest. The inputs allowed early indigenous people to farm their terra preta, or dark earth, sustainably in the Amazon. To date such practices are only known from the the Amazon and parts of Africa. But in a recent paper in the open access journal Forests scientists in Indonesian Borneo report on the first evidence of terra preta in Asia.
President of Czech Republic to give keynote at Heartland climate summit despite backlash over murderer billboards
(05/14/2012) Companies are abandoning the Heartland Institute left-and-right following the conservative group's controversial climate change billboard campaign, but Czech President, Václav Klaus, is sticking with the group, reports the Guardian. Although he criticized the Heartland's short-lived campaign, Klaus is still planning to be the keynote speaker at the Heartland Institute's upcoming annual climate change summit, which gathers prominent climate denialists from around the world.
Can loggers be conservationists?
(05/10/2012) Last year researchers took the first ever publicly-released video of an African golden cat (Profelis aurata) in a Gabon rainforest. This beautiful, but elusive, feline was filmed sitting docilely for the camera and chasing a bat. The least-known of Africa's wild cat species, the African golden cat has been difficult to study because it makes its home deep in the Congo rainforest. However, researchers didn't capture the cat on video in an untrammeled, pristine forest, but in a well-managed logging concession by Precious Woods Inc., where scientist's cameras also photographed gorillas, elephants, leopards, and duikers.
Featured video: the oceans and Rio+20
(05/10/2012) A new video by Pew Environment Group and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) hopes to convince policy-makers attending the Rio+20 Summit on Sustainable Development this summer that urgent action is needed to save the ocean's from an environmental crisis.
U.S. undergoes warmest 12 months yet
(05/10/2012) Americans would not be remiss in asking, "is it getting hot in here?" According to new data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s National Climatic Data Center, the last twelve months (from May 2011 through April 2012) were the warmest on record for the lower 48 U.S. states since record keeping began in the late 19th Century.
'The real Hunger Games': a million children at risk as Sahel region suffers punishing drought
(05/09/2012) The UN warns that a million children in Africa's Sahel region face malnutrition due to drought in region. In all 15 million people face food insecurity in eight nations across the Sahel, a region that is still recovering from drought and a food crisis of 2010. In some countries the situation is worsened by conflict.
App designed to fight wildlife crime in Cambodia
(05/08/2012) Conservation NGO Wildlife Alliance has launched a new iPhone app that not only teaches users about Cambodian wildlife but also gives them information on how to help the group fight pervasive wildlife crime in the country. The app includes photos and information regarding species imperiled by the wildlife trade as well as informational videos with Jeff Corwin from the Animal Planet.
First camera trap video of world's rarest gorilla includes shocking charge
(05/08/2012) Ever wonder what it would be like to be charged by a male gorilla? A new video (below) released by the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), gives one a first hand look. Shot in Cameroon's Kagwene Gorilla Sanctuary, the video is the first camera trap footage of the incredibly rare Cross River gorilla subspecies (Gorilla gorilla diehli); listed as Critically Endangered, the subspecies is believed to be down to only 250 individuals.
Heartland Institute losing major corporate sponsors after comparing climate change advocates to mass-murderers
(05/08/2012) The Heartland Institute has lost two corporate supporters since it unveiled a billboard campaign that compared those who accept the science of climate change to mass murderer Ted Kaczynski also known as the Unabomber. Yesterday, State Farm Insurance confirmed it was severing ties with the group, while on Sunday, Diageo, a major alcoholic drink company, announced it was also cutting its support of the conservative think tank. Even before this, General Motors (GM) cut ties with the group over its climate stance. The exodus of the three corporate supporters has lost the Heartland Institute an estimated $180,000 for 2012, according to fundraising documents leaked to the media.
13 arrested for blockading coal train, including Nobel Prize winning economist
(05/07/2012) Thirteen Canadians were peacefully arrested this weekend for blockading Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railway train tracks in order to prevent the passage of coal stemming from the United States and destined to be burned in Asia. Among those arrested was Mark Jaccard, an economics professor with Simon Fraser University, who won the Nobel Prize for his work with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Cambodia suspends economic land concessions
(05/07/2012) Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen announced today that Cambodia would be temporarily suspending new economic land concessions and would revoke any concessions from companies involved in illegal logging, the evictions of locals or land-grabbing. The announcement comes two week after the high-profile death of local forest activist, Chut Wutty, who was shot and killed by military police while investigating illegal logging with two journalists.
Organizations target rhino horn consumption in China
(05/07/2012) Last year nearly 450 rhinos were killed for their horns in South Africa, which has become the epicenter for the global rhino poaching epidemic. Rhinos are dying to feed rising demand for rhino horn in Asia, which is ground up and sold as traditional Chinese medicine, even though scientific studies have shown that rhino horn has no medicinal benefit. Now, two organizations, the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) and Wildaid have announced a partnership to move beyond anti-poaching efforts and target rhino horn consumption in China.
Pictures of the day: activists highlight personal impacts of climate change worldwide
(05/07/2012) On Saturday, people around the world gathered to highlight the varied impacts of climate change on their lives. Organized by 350.org, the global day of action was a call to "connect the dots" between a warming Earth and extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, and fires among other impacts. Nearly 1,000 events were held worldwide.
Fallout for Heartland Institute after it likens those who accept climate change to 'murderers' and 'madmen'
(05/07/2012) According to the Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank, those who accept the science of climate change are 'on the radical fringe' with the movements most 'prominent advocates' being 'murderers, tyrants, and madmen.' The Heartland Institute's statements came as it launched a billboard campaign featuring notorious mass-murderer, Ted Kaczynski also known as the Unabomber, on a billboard in Chicago that read 'I still believe in Global Warming? Do you?' The Kaczynski billboard remained live for 24 hours before widespread condemnation, including from the Heartland Institute's own supporters, pushed the group to pull the billboard. It has now suspended the short-lived campaign which was also going to feature similar billboards with Fidel Castro, Osama Bin Laden, and hostage-taker James J. Lee.
Just how far can a polar bear swim?
(05/03/2012) Polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are capable of swimming incredible distances, according to a new study published in Zoology, which recorded polar bears regularly swimming over 30 miles (48 kilometers) and, in one case, as far as 220 miles (354 kilometers). The researchers believe the ability of polar bears to tackle such long-distance swims may help them survive as seasonal sea ice vanishes due to climate change.
Exploring Asia's lost world
(05/03/2012) Abandoned by NGOs and the World Bank, carved out for rubber plantations and mining by the Cambodian government, spiraling into a chaos of poaching and illegal logging, and full of endangered species and never-explored places, Virachey National Park may be the world's greatest park that has been written off by the international community. But a new book by explorer and PhD student, Greg McCann, hopes to change that. Entitled Called Away by a Mountain Spirit: Journey to the Green Corridor, the book highlights expeditions by McCann into parts of Virachey that have rarely been seen by outsiders and have never been explored scientifically, including rare grasslands that once housed herds of Asian elephants, guar, and Sambar deer, before poachers drove them into hiding, and faraway mountains with rumors of tigers and mainland Javan rhinos.
Thousands worldwide to "connect the dots" between climate change and extreme weather this weekend
(05/03/2012) On Saturday, May 5th vulnerable populations from the United States to Bangladesh will "connect the dots" between devastating extreme weather and climate change in a global day of action organized by 350.org. The nearly 1,000 events occurring in over half of the world's nations are meant to highlight to governments, media, and the public that climate change is impacting lives through an increase in number and intensity of devastating weather events, such as droughts, heatwaves, and floods.
Gas development pushing pronghorn out of vital wintering grounds
(05/02/2012) Development of natural gas fields in Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is pushing pronghorn (Antilocapra americana) out of crucial wintering grounds, a situation that could result in a population decline according to a new study in Biological Conservation. By tracking 125 female pronghorn over five years in Wyoming, researchers found that highest quality habitat had fallen by over 80 percent in two vast gas fields on land owned by the government's Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
Biodiversity loss cripples plant growth
(05/02/2012) For decades scientists have been warning that if global society continues with "business-as-usual" practices the result will be a mass extinction of the world's species, an extinction event some researchers say is already underway. However, the direct impacts of global biodiversity loss has been more difficult to compile. Now a new study in Nature finds that loss of plant biodiversity could cripple overall plant growth.
Animal picture of the day: the prehistoric peccary
(05/02/2012) The Chacoan peccary (Catagonus wagneri) was only known from fossils and thought extinct, perhaps a victim of the megafaunal extinction that ended the Pleistocene, until researchers in the 1970s stumbled on a living population in Argentina. While peccaries look like and are distantly related to the pig species that originated in the Old World, they belong to their own family, the Tayassuidae.
Featured video: climate, water, and desperation in Texas
(05/01/2012) As a part of PBS' new series Coping with Climate Change reporters visited several towns in Texas, which has suffered unprecedented drought beginning in 2010. The drought, which climatologists say is consistent with climate change predictions, has led to forest fires, vast tree mortalities, agricultural and livestock losses, and water shortages.
Greenpeace activists occupy icebreaker set for Arctic drilling
(05/01/2012) Greenpeace has announced that 20 of its activists, stemming from 13 countries, have locked themselves in an icebreaker ship in Helsinki, Finland. The ship is scheduled to move out to the Alaskan Arctic to aid in exploratory offshore drilling by oil giant Shell. Another icebreaker has already left for the U.S. Arctic; both have been leased to Shell by their owner, the Finnish government.
Over 30 Yangtze porpoises found dead in China as population nears extinction
(05/01/2012) Six years after the Yangtze river dolphin (Lipotes vexillifer), or baiji, was declared "functionally extinct" by scientists, another marine mammal appears on the edge of extinction in China's hugely degraded Yangtze River. In less than two months, 32 Yangtze finless porpoises (Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis), a subspecies of the finless porpoise, have been dead found in Dongting and Poyang Lakes in the Yangtze, reports the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF).
Animal picture of the day: Cicada emerging
(04/30/2012) Cicada's are generally large insects with broad heads and transparent wings. The group is known for some species' habitats of staying under ground for up to 17 years before emerging en masse, though many cicada species emerge annually in small groups. Once it emerges, it sheds its exoskeleten and begins to seek out mates. Males produce a loud, distinct sound.
High-tech hell: new documentary brings Africa's e-waste slum to life
(04/30/2012) Shirtless boys rapidly pull the computer apart, discarding bits and pieces, until they expose the wires, yank them out, and toss them into a fire. Acrid, toxic smoke blooms as the boys prod the wires and the fire strips the plastic around the wires, leaving the sought-after copper. Welcome, to Agbogbloshie, where your technology goes to die. A new film e-wasteland captures the horrors of the world's largest e-waste slum through surreal and staggering images. Shot over three weeks by one-man guerrilla filmmaker, David Fedele, e-wasteland is an entirely visual experience without dialogue or voiceover.
Skink biodiversity jumps 650 percent in the Caribbean
(04/30/2012) In a single paper in Zootaxa scientists have rewritten the current understanding of lizard biodiversity in the Caribbean. By going over museum specimens of skinks, scientists have discovered 24 new species and re-established nine species previously described species, long-thought invalid. The single paper has increased the number of skinks in the Caribbean by 650 percent, from six recognized species to 39. Unfortunately, half of these new species may already be extinct and all of them are likely imperiled.
Does the Tasmanian tiger exist? Is the saola extinct? Ask the leeches
(04/30/2012) The use of remote camera traps, which photograph animals as they pass, has revolutionized research on endangered and cryptic species. The tool has even allowed scientists to document animals new to science or feared extinct. But as important as camera traps have become, they are still prohibitively expensive for many conservationists and require many grueling hours in remote forests. A new paper in Current Biology, however, announces an incredibly innovative and cheaper way of recording rare mammals: seek out the leeches that feed on them. The research found that the presence of mammals, at least, can be determined by testing the victim's blood for DNA stored in the leech.
Pictures of Yasuni, Ecuador's rainforest gem
(04/27/2012) In late 2010, mongabay.com reporter Jeremy Hance traveled to Yasuni National Park, arguably the most biodiverse place on the planet and home to a unique initiative to save a rainforest by asking the international community to pay to keep oil in the ground. Researchers have found more tree species in a single hectare in Yasuni National Park than in all of the U.S. and Canada combined. Yasuni also contains the highest biodiversity of reptiles and amphibians in the world with 271 species. But insects trump them all: entomologist Terry Erwin has estimated that a single hectare of rainforest in Yasuni may contain as many as 100,000 unique insect species.
Organic yields lag behind industrial farming, but that's not the whole story
(04/26/2012) In general, industrial agriculture beats organic farming in yields, according to a comprehensive new study in Nature. The study adds new data to the sometimes heated debate of organic versus conventional farming. Proponents of organic farming argue that these practices are environmentally friendly, sustainable over the long-term, and provide a number of social goods. However, critics argue that organic farming requires more land, thereby increasing global deforestation, which offsets any other environmental benefits of organic food production. At stake is whether organic or conventional is capable of feeding the world's seven billion people (and rising), including increasing demand for energy-intensive foods like meat in the developing world.
Forest activist shot dead in Cambodia allegedly over photos of illegal logging
(04/26/2012) Chut Wutty, a prominent activist against illegal logging and deforestation, has been killed in the Koh Kong province of Cambodia. Wutty was shot dead at a military police checkpoint while traveling with two journalists with The Cambodia Daily. The journalists are currently being held for questioning by the military police.
NGO: lifting sanctions on Myanmar must lead to forestry reform
(04/26/2012) Following historic elections, many foreign powers have relaxed or lifted sanctions against Myanmar, also known as Burma. But the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) warns that the end of sanctions presents Myanmar and the world with a choice: further plundering of the country's forests for outside markets or large-scale forestry reform.
Carnage in Komodo: world-famous reef destroyed by poachers' bombs
(04/25/2012) Illegal fishermen have been utilizing homemade bombs to kill fish off the coast of Komodo Island, Indonesia, reports the Associated Press (AP); the bombs have not only injured fish populations in the protected area, but has also blasted biodiverse coral reefs popular with tourists. A scuba teacher told the AP that a section of Tatawa Besar coral reef, a popular diving spot, had been "blasted, ripped off, turned upside down."
New reptile discovered in world's strangest archipelago
(04/25/2012) Few people have ever heard of the Socotra Archipelago even though, biologically-speaking, it is among the world's most wondrous set of islands. Over one third of Socotra's plants are found no-where else on Earth, i.e. endemic, while 90 percent of its reptiles are also endemic. Adding to its list of unique life-forms, researchers have recently uncovered a new skink species that is found only on the island of Abd al Kuri, which is slightly smaller than New York City's Staten Island. Dubbed the "the other Galapagos," the four Socotra islands are under the jurisdiction of Yemen, although geographically speaking the islands are actually closer to Somalia.
$90 million in corrupt logging money linked to Malaysian Chief Minister, UBS bank
(04/24/2012) Documents under investigation show that around $90 million may have been laundered from logging companies in Sabah to UBS bank accounts linked to high-ranking Malaysian officials, according to the Sarawak Report. Critics of the government say the money is likely kickbacks from logging companies to government officials for the right to log in the state's declining rainforests. Such transactions are alleged to occur typically in the run up to elections.

They say golf is a gentleman's game. Players often play with little or no emotion in an attempt to prevent what cameras caught pro golfer Bill Hass doing after missing a putt.On Tuesday, Haas found himself on the par-5 green on hole No. 15 during the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. He misses his chance to save par as his first putt sails wide right before tapping the ball in for a bogey. That's when anger began to surface.Watch as Haas first swings his club wildly while walking away from the hole. He then proceeds to have a short chat with his caddy before giving a swift kick to his golf bag moments later, thus sending the bag to the ground.I guess he was channeling his inner-Happy Gilmore.

I have a quick question about where to find some information about the Shoanti. A few days ago I remember reading a source book that had some in-game rules regarding the Shoanti tribes. If I remember correctly they were either racial traits or alternative racial (human) abilities. I can't seem to find the source despite a long search through various books and the forum archives. Can someone help me out? Thanks!
Hey everyone!
I'm new to the forums and Pathfinder Organized play, however I have played with 3.5 rules for about 7 years and pathfinder rules more or less since they came out. I recently moved to Reno, NV and would like to get involved in Pathfinder play in the area, but I can't seem to find any games. I would like to get some people together for Pathfinder Organized play in the area and if possible, I would like to make it official play.

Now at 8 Triple Digit Highs - 07/10/13
Our hot, dry weather rolls on! We hit triple digits again at Camp Mabry for the 8th time this year and will likely do so again Thursday through Saturday. Although it will be hot, it looks like records should hold, but we could come close! As for rain, we'll be hard-pressed to find any for the next several days. I've actually lowered the chances of rain Sunday and Monday from 20% to 10%, but I'm holding on to 20% chances Tuesday and Wednesday. For comparison's sake...it could be worse! On July 10th, 1913 (100 years ago) - it hit 134 in Death Valley, California! That's the hottest temp recorded on Earth.
We'll be hot, but not quite record hot the next few days.
Camp Mabry Forecast Thursday: 102 (Record is 108 in 1917)
Camp Mabry Forecast Friday: 104 (Record is 107 in 1954)
Camp Mabry Forecast Saturday: 103 (Record is 105 in 2009)
Lakes Travis and Buchanan combined are just 36% full and continuing to fall. Lake Travis is 42.9 feet below average and Lake Buchanan is 25.1 feet below average. What would it take to end our drought? It's estimated 12 to 14" of rain would need to fall - and that rain would need to fall in the right spots (as in upstream or over the lakes!). With the lack of recent rain and triple digit heat, evaporation on the lakes is occurring at a quick pace.
Tropical Storm Chantal weakened considerably in the last 24 hours and disintegrated into a Tropical Wave Wednesday afternoon. For the latest: Track here:http://keyetv.com/weather/features/hurricane-tracker/andhttp://www.nhc.noaa.gov/
Overnight: 76 Mainly clear, warm & muggy. Winds: S 5-10
Thursday: 102 Early patchy clouds, then mostly sunny. Winds: SW/S 5-10
Thursday Night: 76 Mainly clear. Winds: S 5-10
Friday: 104 Mostly sunny and hotter. Winds: SW/SE 5-10

Get your Recreation Passport for four seasons of fun
What it is: When Michigan residents check "YES" for the Recreation Passport when renewing a Michigan license plate with the Secretary of State, they gain access to over 100 state parks, hundreds of miles of pathways, and more. In addition, buying Recreation Passport means saying "YES" to protecting Michigan's natural resources for future generations.
View a map of great places to use your Recreation Passport at www.michigan.gov/recsearch
How to get it: Michigan residents just check "YES" for the Recreation Passport when you renew your license plate at a Secretary of State branch office, self service station, by mail or online. It's valid until your next vehicle plate renewal date, and the proof of purchase is the two tiny 'P's printed at the top and bottom of your license plate tab, as well as the words "Recreation Passport" on your registration.
If the Recreation Passport was not purchased when the vehicle registration was renewed, you can bring your registration to a Secretary of State branch office any time to pay the $11 and receive a replacement license plate tab with two small 'P's indicating that you purchased the Recreation Passport. You can also purchase a window sticker for $11 at a state park or Customer Service Center. The sticker should be placed on the inside, lower right side of the passenger window.
Nonresidents can purchase an annual pass in advance at www.michigan.gov/estore, or buy an annual or daily pass in person at a state park.
Add us to your online favorites: www.michigan.gov/recreationpassport
Please note: Entry into state parks, recreation areas, state forest campgrounds, boating access sites and non-motorized trail head parking lots is subject to available parking spaces. Campground access may be limited to registered campers without staff permission.

Some more information has come out on Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians since the game early Sunday afternoon. It doesn't really clear a lot of things up for me though; instead it brings more questions to mind.
The word is that he was hospitalized on Thursday (missing practice) with what was described as flu-like symptoms (nausea and headaches) at the Maryland Shock Trauma Center. His agent, Mike Brown, has stated that doctors think that it is an inner-ear infection.
Arians wanted to coach even if it meant sitting in the booth, but team officials and doctors said no....

aFunding information from Begg (2000).
Nurses are expected to provide physical, emotional, spiritual, and practical care for patients in every phase of life. They spend more time with patients near the end of life than do any other health professionals. Yet, like physicians, most nurses in the United States do not receive the training and practical experience they need to carry out these duties in the best fashion. The nursing curriculum has been less studied than the medical curriculum, but this has been changing, particularly in response to debates about assisted suicide and euthanasia (Ferrell et al., 2000).

Gov. Dannel P. Malloy presented a two-year budget to state legislators on Wednesday in which he proposed increasing spending on education and economic development while cutting hospital and social services funding.
He also relied heavily on borrowing to reduce the state's debt payments and increase available cash flow.
"We made our budget honest, transparent and built to address Connecticut's long-term obligations," Malloy said.
Overall, the state budget would increase by 5.1 percent, to $21.5 billion, in fiscal year 2014, and by 3.9 percent, to $22.3 billion, in fiscal 2015. Revenues are projected to increase by $585 million over two years.
Although the state budget would increase, Malloy said, his budget would reduce spending by $1.8 billion over two years.
Cuts carried over from the December deficit mitigation bill, which included decreases in social services spending, were the deepest. The governor proposed cutting $333.4 million from social services in fiscal 2014 and $544.7 million in fiscal 2015.
Hospitals would lose more than $548 million in state funding over two years under Malloy's plan.
The state would reduce the amount it reimburses hospitals for treating people who are uninsured, said Benjamin Barnes, secretary of the Office of Policy and Management. Hospitals are reimbursed based on how much uncompensated care they provide, he said.
About 10 percent of the state's population is currently uninsured. But once Medicaid eligibility is expanded and the Affordable Care Act insurance exchanges are implemented, the number of uninsured in the state will decrease to 1-2 percent, Barnes said.
"Are we doing it sooner than they are going to see changes in the insurance market? Yes," Barnes said.
The governor also proposed reorganizing aid to municipalities, which could affect municipal taxes. According to his proposal, payments in lieu of taxes — reimbursement for municipalities for tax-exempt state, college and hospital properties — would no longer be distributed independently. Instead, $73 million of PILOT funds would be lumped into Education Cost Sharing funds.
Malloy proposed about $152.3 million in Education Cost Sharing increases. He proposed creating a new agency, the Office of Early Childhood, within the next two years. The early childhood program would require $484.6 million over two years.
He also proposed investing nearly $1.5 billion in bonding for infrastructure for cities and towns over the next two years. More than $980 million would go toward building modern classrooms to help kids learn, Malloy said.
The governor also proposed eliminating the car tax for most vehicles, which would give consumers and businesses a $560 million tax break but leave municipalities with a $560 million reduction in tax revenue.
The assumption is that other taxes, including those for commercial real estate, absentee landlords and rental property, would make up for the motor vehicle tax break, Barnes said.
Malloy also proposed refinancing the economic recovery notes bonded in 2009 under then-Gov. M. Jodi Rell. There remains about $600 million to repay, Barnes said, and the governor is proposing to push the payments back to 2016.
State Rep. Larry Cafero, R-Norwalk, questioned the move.
"It just so happens that means it is outside this biennium, so you won't see that debt service or payment in this biennium," Cafero said. "Is that how you balance a budget? Is that honest or transparent? I think not."
The governor also proposed to continue three "temporary" taxes for fiscal years 2014 and 2015.
Over two years, the 20 percent corporation tax surcharge would bring in $118.4 million. The energy-generation tax would bring in $152 million and the insurance premiums tax utilization cap would bring in $38 million.
Kevin Hennessy, director of government affairs for New England for Dominion, said this was a broken promise and that the ultimate losers would be consumers.
Speaker of the House Brendan Sharkey, D-Hamden, said he was concerned about the tax because businesses prefer a consistent tax policy, but that everything had to be on the table.
Last week, Malloy proposed more than $1.5 billion in bonding for the University of Connecticut for infrastructure enhancements and expanded enrollment. Thursday, the governor said he was sticking to his commitment to economic development by investing $200 million over 10 years for bioscience and health care initiatives through grants, loans and equity.
"It (the budget proposal) furthers a plan we started two years ago, a plan to get our finances in order, to live within our means, and to do it while making bold investments to create jobs and grow our economy," Malloy said.

BMC Medical Education 2008, 8:33 doi:10.1186/1472-6920-8-33Published: 30 May 2008
Continuing medical education (CME) is compulsory for physicians in Iran. Recent studies in Iran show that modifications of CME elements are necessary to improve the effectiveness of the educational programmes. Other studies point to an inappropriate, even irrational drug prescribing. Based on a needs assessment study regarding CME for general physicians in the East Azerbaijan province in Iran, rational prescribing practice was recognized as a high priority issue. Considering different educational methods, outcome-based education has been proposed as a suitable approach for CME. The purpose of the study was to obtain experts' consensus about appropriate educational outcomes of rational prescribing for general physicians in CME and developing curricular contents for this education.
The study consisted of two phases: The first phase was conducted using a two-round Delphi consensus process to identify the outcome-based educational indicators regarding rational prescribing for general physicians in primary care (GPs). In the second phase the agreed indicators were submitted to panels of experts for assessment and determination of content for a CME program in the field.
Twenty one learning outcomes were identified through a modified Delphi process. The indicators were used by the panels of experts and six educational topics were determined for the CME programme and the curricular content of each was defined. The topics were 1) Principles of prescription writing, 2) Adverse drug reactions, 3) Drug interactions, 4) Injections, 5) Antibiotic therapy, and 6) Anti-inflammatory agents therapy. One of the topics was not directly related to any outcome, raising a question about the need for a discussion on constructive alignment.
Consensus on learning outcomes was achieved and an educational guideline was designed. Before suggesting widespread use in the country the educational package should be tested in the CME context.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by HaltheElf swimmer gift Bought these goggles for my 13 year old daughter who does "summer swim". We were looking for a pair of swim goggles that had shaded lenses as some of her contests are outside. Doing the backstroke in the middle of the afternoon, in the summer, can be a blinding experience without tinted lenses. April 1, 2015

Most of us have been on both sides of it — receiving a coffee or sandwich from an employee who seems just a little too happy to serve you, or being forced to beam a smile at a rude customer who views you as merely an annoying obstacle in his busy day. The term for this coerced sunniness is "emotional labor," as first defined by sociologist Arlie Russell Hochschild in 1983.
Hochschild coined the term "emotional labor" in her 1983 book, The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling, where she described it as "management of feeling to create a publicly observable facial and bodily display … sold for a wage."
Midwives, psychologists and funeral home directors are expected to calm the seas of their clients' moods, and affluent visitors of high-end boutiques and restaurants pay a healthy premium to be coddled by their employees — but should workers making little more than minimum wage be forced to smile or be fired?
The idea of emotional labor has entered the discussion recently due to some over-the-top examples of employers requiring low-wage workers to go far beyond the call of duty, emotionally. Starbucks used its massive and mostly unorganized fleet of Washington, DC baristas to deliver a glib, handwritten "come together" on every to-go cup during the heady days of the debt crisis. And last fall, a disgruntled employee of UK-based artisanal sandwich outlet Pret a Manger blew the roof off a policy measuring 50 emotional behavior metrics on which employees are judged.
The Daily Mail reports on the exacting system:
If staff at a Pret branch get a positive report after a visit from a mystery shopper, the whole team gets a bonus. But should the visitor encounter an employee who is insufficiently 'enthusiastic', or worse, 'bad-tempered', everybody misses out.
Forcing friendliness out of retail employees is nothing new, but what is curious about these two higher profile cases is what the benign smiles of workers are meant to hide. Labor practices at Pret a Manger came to light last year, when an employee allegedly fired for homophobic behavior appealed, stating that he had actually been fired for trying to form a union with co-workers. Starbucks has also been historically anti-union (though a few locations have managed to negotiate union contracts due to their placement within unionized grocery stores or convention centers). In 2009, the NLRB ruled that Starbucks illegally fired employees heading an IWW organizing campaign (the case is now scheduled to be tried by the Supreme Court).
Minimizing grumpiness — or just the ability to react to one's working environment accordingly — necessarily makes organizing for change more difficult. Changes come out of justly complaining about workplace issues and coming together to make a difference, and until all workplaces are fair and just, no amount of suppression will keep that from happening.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 6/14/13
David Wright spoke out about the overzealous campaign by the Mets to get him voted to the All Star Game. "It's nice when the organization is trying so hard to do something for one of their players and I can't thank them enough for that," Wright said. "But at the same time, I've asked them to kind of back it down a little bit, especially with the stuff between innings. You appreciate what they're trying to do, and they're very good-hearted, but at the same time, this is a team game." Interestingly enough, Wright told reporters that it wasn't the Mets reaching out to Cougar Life that bothered him the most, although I'm sure it had to play some part. Yesterday, Deadspin leaked a series of email exchanges between the Mets and Cougar Life who was asking them to get their clientele, comprised of older women, to vote for David Wright after they named him "The Hottest Cub." I'm glad Wright spoke up. I think it's better when fan sites like this one and others do what they can to drum up v

Two dozen U.S. Army veterans received the country's top military honor at the White House on Tuesday for acts of bravery in World War II, Korea and Vietnam as part of an effort to recognize those whose service may have been ignored because of their race or religion.
President Barack Obama awarded the medals recognizing the 24 Hispanic, African-American and Jewish-Americans veterans - the largest group of soldiers to be honored for the award since World War Two.
Just three of the men honored are still living and were on hand to accept the blue-ribboned award from the president. The others either died in combat or later of natural causes. One veteran is still classified as missing, Obama said.
The review was part of a years-long effort to honor service members despite past discrimination, Obama said.
"Here in America, we confront our imperfections and face the sometimes painful past, including the truth that some of these soldiers fought and died for a country that did not always see them as equal," he said.
"As one family member said, this is long overdue," Obama told the audience of wives, brothers, sons and daughters who came to accept the awards in a ceremony at the White House.
The awards followed a 2002 law authorizing a review of war records for Americans who are Jewish or Hispanic. As part of the effort, records of other service members who were overlooked have also emerged.
The three living veterans on hand to accept their award were Melvin Morris of Florida and Jose Rodela and Santiago Erevia of Texas.
The ceremony drew singer Lenny Kravitz, whose uncle Leonard Kravitz was honored posthumously for his service in Korea in 1951.
For a list of those honored, visit whitehouse.gov.

What can I do if my sex drive hasn't come back?

My son is 6 weeks old and I didn't have a sex drive, so I went to the Good Earth health food store and bposted 03/03/2014 by NewMommy113007
Yeah, ny sex drive is way down. All i want to do is sleep . I know my husband is impatient about waiting this long. Our baby is almost 4 months old. So i bought him something from pure romance. It helped a ton ! :D if you look it up, you will know what i mean. :)posted 02/16/2014 by marandamam
I think the problem is that we are super busy and tired, plus we miss the romance - and because we are busy and tired, most of the time we only have like an hour at night with our husband before it's total exhaustion - meaning: no time for romance... It's a vicious cycle. Recently we've been trying to go on a date. It works, I'm feeling ready again... Though sometimes once we got home, I have to take care of our two kids so by the time they sleep... I'm too tired to do anything :) I hope this will change once I stop breastfeeding!posted 01/24/2014 by Wulfette
You just have to do it and the more you do the more comfortable you get. I'm ashamed of my ugly boobs but my husband says they r fine. I think he is just being nice but you will get there!posted 12/08/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
ladies i feel the same way i am so glad i am not alone. our son is 15 months old and i just have no energy for sex it feels like a chore and it kills me how much it hurts my husbands feelings. i just give him oral sex to get him off my back its horrible to me that i feel this way. wish there was a pill or even an elixir or something to take so i can be in the moodposted 11/16/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Sorry that you are feeling that way but u are not alone. I am only 14 wks pregnant with my first baby and I cannot get turned on to save my life. I am with a very good and very good looking man. But even just him touching my sore breasts makes me crazy! I don't want anything to do with himm, that isn't fair to him of course, but this is how I feel...posted 01/22/2008 by PreciousPerfectsMom
As many of you, I'm also glad that I'm not alone either. My baby is almost 4 months old. While pregnant with my princess, I was at high risk, I even needed a progesterone shot every week. I couldn't have sex since my 3rd month of pregnancy. The truth is that I don't feel any desire of making love with my husband. I feel ugly and fat, not attractive at all. I know that I have my boundle of joy here with me but I don't feel attractive at all as I mention before. I don't know if my husband understands how I feel but every time he looks for intimately, it does bother me. I have so many things inside of me and the last thing I want to do is to make love. I agree with all of you... Hopefully, soon enough my sex drive will come back and everything will be like before.posted 10/28/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

Grief is a normal process of reacting to significant changes in one's life. Bereavement involves learning how to live with the change caused by the loss of a loved one. Grief is a unique and individual experience and may cause changes to one's physical, emotional, behavioral and spiritual well-being, all of which are normal reactions to loss. The grief process takes time and support.
The Hospice of East Texas is pleased to offer a variety of support programs designed to promote positive ways for healing. Bereavement support is provided to patients' families for at least twelve months after the death of a loved one. In addition, many of our programs are offered free of charge to anyone in the community who has suffered the loss of a loved one.
All of the support programs are offered at designated locations throughout Hospice of East Texas' service area.
Click here for our calendar of events.
Grief Workshops(click to view calendar)
Bereaved persons meet in a small confidential group, one day a week for 6 consecutive weeks. The group focuses on education about the normal grief process, while members provide one another with support and shared coping strategies.
Adult Bereavement Support Groups
