Conservation groups and the government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have announced the establishment of a new reserve to protect the endangered bonobo, a great ape found only in the DRC's vast tropical forests. "This is a monumental step towards saving a significant portion of the world's second largest rainforest, of critical importance to the survival not only of humankind's closest great ape relative, the bonobo, but to all life on Earth given the increasing threat of climate change," said Sally Jewell Coxe, president of the Bonobo Conservation Initiative (BCI), a partner in creating the new reserve.
The Sankuru Nature Reserve, at 11,803 square miles (30,569 square kilometers), is larger than the U.S. state of Massachusetts and lies in the heart of the Congo Basin, Africa's largest rainforest. The recent war in the DRC claimed some four million lives (more than any war since World War II) and severely affected the Sankuru region, creating a humanitarian crisis as well as serious environmental challenges. "The people of Sankuru rely on the forest for every aspect of their livelihood. Helping them to develop economic alternatives to the bushmeat trade is one of the most urgent priorities," said Coxe. Organized hunting in bonobo habitat to supply the commercial trade in monkey, antelope, and other wildlife meat amounts to what the Congolese Institute for Conservation of Nature terms "ecocide."
Bonobos, classified as endangered on the World's Conservation Union's Red List of Threatened Species, are the most recently discovered great ape and are native only to the Congo Basin. They are known as being peaceful, cooperative, and remarkably intelligent. They have a matriarchal society and are the only primates other than humans known to have sex not only for procreation, but also for pleasure and conflict resolution, and with members of either sex. In addition to the bonobo, the Sankuru Reserve is home to the okapi (an exotic short-necked forest giraffe), elephants, and at least 10 other primate species.

Preserving the region's vast tropical forests can also protect wildlife by helping to mitigate global warming. If deforested, the region would release as much as 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide, equivalent to the emissions of 38 million cars a year for 10 years, says the BCI. In 2006, as many as 16,118 species were threatened worldwide from climate change and other dangers, according to the Worldwatch Institute's Vital Signs 2007-2008 report. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2007 Synthesis Report, the current rise in global greenhouse gas emissions must stop within seven years to avoid wiping out up to a quarter of Earth's species.
"This is a huge victory for bonobo and rainforest conservation," Coxe notes. "However, our work has just begun. Now we need investment to successfully manage the reserve. And, other areas need to be protected to ensure the long-term survival of the bonobo and the integrity of the Congo rainforest."

Euro 4x Series Round 3 - Afan, Wales, UK
Sheet Media presents the Euro 4X from Afan in sunny Wales. Had a great weekend filming this, shame I couldn't use all my footage but you would of been sat here for ages haha. Anyway back to the racing, qualifying was fairly dry with Scott Beaumont and Katy Curd taking the pole position for the knock out stages. In the knockout's which is a format I haven't been used to, I did think it created some amazing moto's with more on the line if you aren't crossing the line in first or second and the rain wasn't dampening spirits in the slightest and with Cooper and Mop Head keeping the crowds entertained with there usual random banter. Onto the finals I'll leave it in the words of the Euro 4x Series themselves as they sum it up perfectly. Katy took gate 1, Suzanne on 2, Cara on 3 and Jess Greaves was on 4. Katy got the snap and checked out. She rode a perfect lap to take the win and be crowned the 2012 Schwalbe Euro 4X Series Women's champion. A great battled behind Katy ended with Suzanne in 2nd, Jess in 3rd and Cara 4th. A quick mention to Erin Maquire who finished 5th. In only her 2nd ever 4X race, the 16 year old Erin already looks like she has a huge future in 4X and her qualification time was impressive. Looking forward to seeing how she progresses into 2013. The rookies also had a great final. Ryan Hutchinson who is in his first ever year racing 4X took his first win ahead of Dylan Grell Delsol, Connor Sellors and Cai Wootton. These guys are the stars of the future so remember these names. So back to the elite men. There was some awesome racing through the rounds. This format of straight knockout really throws up some surprises as senior riders go against elites. By the final the field had been whittled down to Scott Beaumont, Daniel Prijkel, Issac Mundy and Mirco Weiss. Beaumont chose gate one, Prijkel with second gate pick went for gate three, Mundy took two and Mirco Weiss went in four. Prijkel was planning the high low move in the first turn for sure. Scott got the gate and lead into turn one. Mundy and Prijkel cut back under Scott and he was bumped into third on the exit. Powering into second position by turn two Scott's sights were set on Prijkel who was leading. Scott closed the gap and coming into the tight right corner before the rocks drew level with Prijkel. As everyone bunched up Prijkel, Beaumont and Mundy bumped together. Prijkel went down, Mundy took the lead and Boom Boom was in second – ahead of Prijkel. Knowing he had the series in the bag, he set off after Mundy. In the last turn, Scott went tight and took the lead, but Mundy using good speed from the berm passed Scott at the finish line. An awesome race for the crowd to watch....

Let me first introduce you to the SDK before we start developing our first Kinect application later this week from scratch.
This is the start of the first tutorial, we'll start coding later this week.
What you will find in this post –
NOTE – This is written based on SDK version 1.7
Building blocks
First things first, let's review what data we can access.
As you can see I divided it in two types of datastreams – Data streams & Recognition Stream.
- Data streams are basicly the streams that the sensor can capture with its sensors like Color with the camera, Depth with the IR Emitter & receiver, etc.
- Recognition streams are those who rely on the ones below them and process the data for example if you want to use FaceTracking you'll need to enable Color, Depth and Skeleton Tracking in order to enable FaceTracking.
Heart of the SDK
You can find everything about Kinect in the namespace Microsoft.Kinect. The heart of the SDK are the classes below if you ask me since you'll be using them the most.
KinectSensor is an object that represents a Kinect sensor. We can enable color/depth/skeletal tracking for a sensor, change the angle with ElevationAngle, check what it's status is and if it is running, etc.
(Thanks to Renaud Dumont)
As you can see each sensor has three streams, Color / Depth / Skeleton, each respresented by an object ColorImageStream / DepthImageStream / SkeletonStream that will give you Frames with the data in it when you call the OpenNextFrame -method.
Color & depth are quite the same since a frame has a Width, Height, BytesPerPixel & PixelDataLength while a SkeletonFrame has a TrackingMode & SkeletonArrayLength.
You can see the full main classes below –
Status of a sensor
Every KinectSensor-object has a status, called KinectStatus, indicating in what state your sensor is.
For example if you want to interact with it and your device is still initiliazing will result in errors and failure, we don't want that. As well as UX where we can let the user know whether the sensor is connected and ready or not, etc.
You can also copy the data from your frame to a byte[] or a
Here's an overview of all states –
Out-of-the-box toolkits
Here's an overview of the toolkits that are available with the Developer Toolkit Browser v1.7.0.
- Microsoft.Kinect.Toolkit - A component that provides you the KinectSensorChooser-object that helps you manage your Kinect sensor, states, notify the users in the UI, etc.
More information on MSDN
- Microsoft.Kinect.Toolkit.Controls - WPF controls for Kinect interactions
More information on MSDN
- Microsoft.Kinect.Toolkit.Fusion - Helps you build applications with Kinect Fusion
More info on MSDN
- Microsoft.Kinect.Toolkit.FaceTracking - A wrapper API for the native FaceTracking library. As the face tracking library is NOT a part of the SDK itself, but distributed through the toolkit, you must use this component in your C# or VB application to access face tracking features
More information on MSDN
- Microsoft.Kinect.Toolkit.Interaction - A compontent that helps you build applications with interaction (also know as KinectInteraction)
More information about the architecture, controls, managed API, concepts
I won't use one of these toolkits in my first tutorial because I think that it's essential that you know how everything works before you let the toolkits do it for you.
You can use them by adding a reference to the DLL in your filesystem or by installing the project by using the Toolkit browser.

|One-month of calcium supplementation does not affect iron bioavailability: A randomized controlled trial.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 24290597 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|OBJECTIVES: Calcium (Ca) and iron (Fe) are essential minerals for normal growth and development. Although previous studies have shown that Ca inhibits acute Fe absorption, there is no evidence of the possible long- or medium-term effects of Ca supplementation on Fe bioavailability. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 34 d of Ca supplementation on heme Fe and non-heme Fe bioavailability in non-pregnant women of ages 33 to 47 y.
METHODS: This was a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Twenty-six healthy women (40 ± 5 y) were randomly assigned to receive either 600 mg of elemental Ca/d as CaCO3 (Ca group, n = 13) or a placebo (P group, n = 13) for 34 d. Heme Fe and non-heme Fe bioavailability were determined before and after treatment using (55)Fe and (59)Fe radioisotopes. A two-factor, repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to assess differences by treatment and timing.
RESULTS: The geometric mean (range ± 1 SD) of heme Fe bioavailability before and after treatment was 16.5% (8.3-32.8) and 26% (15.5-43.6) for the Ca group and 21.8% (13.0-36.6) and 25.1% (16.5-38.3) for the P group. Non-heme Fe bioavailability before and after treatment was 39.5% (19.9-78.7) and 34.1% (19.1-60.6) for the Ca group, and 44.6% (24.9-79.7) and 39.3% (24.3-63.4) for the P group. There were no differences in either heme Fe or non-heme Fe bioavailability either at baseline or after treatment.
CONCLUSION: The administration of calcium supplements for 34 d does not affect iron bioavailability. This trial is registered with Controlled-trials.gov, number ISRCTN 89888123.

For most New Yorkers, there are few things as irksome as strangers accosting you on the street.
If Margaret was going to add coquetry to her numerous other faults, his life would be irksome enough!
But to keep his chin raised off the ground was irksome, and not much use either.
At first the resumption of routine after years of indolence was irksome and exhausting.
He willingly agreed to that; he saw that it helped to pass the irksome time for her.
The Reader will be detained a very little longer with these irksome scenes.
The least exertion was irksome, and attended with extreme lassitude.
In short, does it not appear that these conventionalities are irksome, and are disregarded when the chance presents itself?
The waiting for the hour of action is so irksome, that even the approach of danger is a relief.
I am daily steadying, and shall soon find it as natural to me to be my own master as it has been irksome to have had a master.

Hepatitis C infection is often silent until it damages your liver. Fortunately, treatment is available. If you're at risk — and millions are — get a screening test.
If your age, occupation or lifestyle puts you at risk of exposure to the hepatitis C virus, it's a good idea to get screened for hepatitis C infection.
Many people infected with hepatitis C have no signs or symptoms for years — even decades. During that time, the infection usually causes gradual damage to your liver. If you develop symptoms after years of silent infection, you may already have advanced liver disease.
But if you find out you have hepatitis C, you can take medication to stop or slow the replication of the virus in your system. Several drugs, including two approved quite recently, are available for use in different combinations to treat hepatitis C infection. These medications work chiefly by slowing the replication of the hepatitis C virus in your system.
The first step is to get a blood test to screen for hepatitis C. Screening is recommended for anyone who:
Despite expanding treatment options, medication isn't appropriate for everyone with hepatitis C. It's best to see a hepatitis C expert — generally, a doctor specializing in liver diseases — for a complete work-up and management plan. The condition of your liver, the type of hepatitis C virus in your system and other medical factors help determine when to start antiviral therapy and which drugs to use.

Bank of England to sit tight on policyComment on this story
The Bank of England is set to leave its policy settings on hold on Thursday as growing evidence of a modest economic recovery reduces the need for extra monetary stimulus.
The central bank will announce its policy decision at 13:00 SA time.
All 56 economists polled by Reuters last week said they expected the BoE to leave interest rates and the target for its asset purchases unchanged, after it decided in February to buy 50 billion pounds ($80 billion) more of gilts.
Most economists also took the view that the BoE will not expand its quantitative easing programme this year.
Recent signs that the economy will avoid a recession coupled with worries about potentially sticky inflation support that view.
Surveys of purchasing managers released this week showed a surprise pick-up in growth across British services, manufacturing and construction in March.
"If these strong results can be sustained into April, then it is likely to be the final nail in the coffin for another round of quantitative easing," said Andrew Goodwin, senior economic adviser to the Ernst & Young ITEM Club.
Moreover, a recent rise in oil prices has raised fears that British inflation will not fall towards the BoE's 2 percent target as fast as policymakers hope.
The British Retail Consortium said on Wednesday that food prices rose in March at the sharpest annual rate since June, driven by higher transport costs stemming from dearer oil.
A sizeable minority of economists still expect more stimulus from the BoE but not until May at the earliest, when its current asset buys are completed.
By then rate-setters will have also seen the first reading of Britain's first-quarter GDP and updated their growth and inflation forecasts.
Howard Archer, economist at IHS Global Insight, is one of those predicting a final 25 billion pound dose of QE.
"However, we now think it is more likely to be delayed until the third quarter rather than occur in May, given the recent overall improved economic news," he said on Wednesday. - Reuters

Alberto Nisman, the special prosecutor who had been investigating the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center (the AMIA building) in Argentina, has been found dead in his Buenos Aires apartment. Nisman was famous in intelligence and law enforcement circles for amassing evidence that implicates Iran in the AMIA attack, which left 85 people dead and hundreds more wounded. Early reports suggest that Nisman may have been murdered, but the circumstances surrounding his death are unclear.
Nisman had also accused senior Argentine officials, including President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, of protecting some of the Iranian officials responsible for the bombing. Kirchner and other officials scoffed at his claims. Nisman was reportedly set to testify before a congressional hearing today about the matter.
I did not know Nisman well, but I did meet with him some years ago. We discussed the evidence of Iran's responsibility for the AMIA attack for several hours. I found his detailed knowledge of the players involved to be impressive and convincing.
INTERPOL also became convinced that various Iranian officials, and their terrorist proxies in Hezbollah, were responsible. In 2007, INTERPOL issued a Red Notice saying that six individuals were wanted in connection with the AMIA bombing.
For Nisman, the AMIA bombing was not a one-off event. It was part of a decades-long pattern of Iranian behavior.
From the Iranian regime's perspective, terrorism is not some taboo. It is an instrument of statecraft to be employed around the world.
One of the terrorists listed in INTERPOL's Red Notice was Imad Fayez Mughniyah, who served as Iran's master terrorist until his assassination in 2008. It is widely assumed that the Israelis were responsible for Mughniyah's death, by way of a car bombing, in Damascus. Mughniyah is a natural suspect in the AMIA attack. He was the godfather of modern suicide bombings, having patented the technique in Iran's and Hezbollah's earliest strikes against American interests, including the 1983 bombings of the U.S. Marine barracks and U.S. embassy in Beirut, Lebanon.
Al Qaeda's founder, Osama bin Laden, was so impressed by the efficacy of Mughniyah's operations, which helped force the U.S. out of Lebanon, that he reached out to the Shiite for help. As the 9/11 Commission and various other sources have confirmed, Mughniyah and Iran agreed to help al Qaeda in the early 1990s. They showed bin Laden and his subordinates how to execute simultaneous suicide attacks. Indeed, al Qaeda's 1998 twin bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were consciously modeled after Mughniyah's and Iran's terror spree in the early 1980s.
In the years since then, Mughniyah has been tied to various terrorist plots around the world – all while operating as part of Iran's international terror network. While Mughniyah's death was undoubtedly a victory in what was once known as the global war on terror, it did not stop Iran and Hezbollah. Instead, they have groomed a new generation of Mughniyahs.
Just recently, Imad Mughniyah's son, Jihad Imad Mughniyah, was killed in Syria. He was serving as a Hezbollah operative at the time.
All the while, the Iranian regime does not hide its affection for the Mughniyahs. In January 2014, Iran's minister of foreign affairs honored the senior Mughniyah by laying a wreath at his grave.
The gesture prompted the White House to respond. "The inhumane violence that Mughniyah perpetrated – and that Lebanese Hezbollah continues to perpetrate in the region with Iran's financial and material support -- has had profoundly destabilizing and deadly effects for Lebanon and the region," National Security Council Spokesperson Caitlin Hayden said. "The decision to commemorate an individual who has participated in such vicious acts, and whose organization continues to actively support terrorism worldwide, sends the wrong message and will only exacerbate tensions in the region."

Speaker of the House John Boehner supports President Obama's actions against ISIS.
"ISIL is a direct threat to the safety and security of the United States and our allies. I support the airstrikes launched by the president, understanding that this is just one step in what must be a larger effort to destroy and defeat this terrorist organization. I wish our men and women in uniform Godspeed as they carry out this fight," reads a statement from the speaker's office.
With lawmakers ratcheting up pressure on Obama to take action in Syria, few in the administration have been paying close attention to Libya, apparently.
President Obama announced last night "two operations in Iraq -- targeted airstrikes to protect our American personnel, and a humanitarian effort to help save thousands of Iraqi civilians who are trapped on a mountain without food and water and facing almost certain death."
Condemnation of Israel for its conduct of Operation Protective Edge in Gaza continues unabated. The chief accusation, heard time and again, is that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have either been cavalier about civilian casualties or are intentionally inflicting them. Israel and its defenders, for their part, have been at pains to point out the great lengths the IDF has gone to avoid injuring civilians, while at the same time noting the innumerable ways in which Hamas has violated the laws of war.

A few weeks ago the Times Literary Supplement ran a photograph of the grisliest act of violence in Italy since World War II—Italy's equivalent of our own September 11 attacks. In 1980 a shadowy group of homegrown terrorists planted a time bomb in the waiting room of the Bologna Central station. When it went off at 10:25 a.m., the roof collapsed on bystanders. The blast cut through people standing on the platform and blew apart much of a nearby train. Eighty-five dead, hundreds wounded.
Senator Lindsey Graham made the case yesterday that the Boston bombing suspect should've been held as an enemy combatant:
In explaining why President Obama didn't call the Boston bombings a "terrorist attack," former adviser David Axelrod said, "I'm sure what was going through the president's mind is -- we really don't know who did this -- it was tax day":
"The word has taken on a different meaning since 9/11," Axelrod said of the phrase "terrorist attack."
The Associated Press reports:
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said today that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab provided "usable, actionable" intelligence upon his capture on Christmas Day.
If Gibbs is telling the truth, why did the president, three days after the attack, call it the work of an "isolated extremist?"

Jose Calderon would be "all in" if the NBA asks him to be in 3-point shootout
Jose Calderon is realistic enough to know that he's not likely to be voted an All-Star by fans or coaches.
buy a research paper online
But that doesn't mean he wouldn't love to be in New Orleans next month for the NBA's celebration of its best talents. And this might be his best shot, literally.
After all, the league's best 3-point shooter from last season probably deserves a chance to be in the Foot Locker Three Point Contest.
"It would be great," Calderon said Wednesday. "It's probably my only chance to be an All-Star. I'd love to. Because of how bad I was at the beginning shooting threes, for me to be in the contest could be a nice story. I came into the league at 16 percent. To be the best last year percentage-wise, it would be great. I know I'm not going to make the All-Star team right now."
Calderon has never shot in the contest, which Dirk Nowitzki has been part of many times. But he'd love to get the chance to join Nowitzki as a winner of the event.
"I'm all in, for sure, if they ask me," Calderon said. "I'm not sure how I'll do. But I'd love to do it. I don't know how that works, but I'd love to."
After leading the league in percentage last season, Calderon is hitting .461 of his triples this season, good for sixth in the league.
By the way, Nowitzki said he has no desire to be involved in the 3-point contest, even if he is voted into the All-Star Game by the coaches.

Bowie's in space: Nic Roeg on film

Interviewing Nicolas Roeg is akin to watching twelve TV screens at once - you catch fascinating fragments but it's difficult to maintain focus. The 83-year-director is responsible for one of the most stylish films of the twentieth century in 1976's The Man Who Fell To Earth, the trailer for which promised "a shocking, mind-stretching experience, in sight, in space, in sex". David Bowie starred as Mr Newton, the extra-terrestrial businessman with a gift for inventing futuristic technology, and his redhead locks, jaunty fedora and wide lapels have proven a recurring catwalk inspiration ever since. ("Even the dyed hair they're ripping off - it's amazing!") Wary of over-intellectualising his work (he once dismissed a question about Don't Look Now's famous sex scene as follows: "You don't have to be a rocket scientist to shoot a f***"), here Roeg discusses Bowie's taste for the supernatural, listening to Low for the first time and why drugs affect everyone differently...
GQ.com: Bowie kept you waiting for hours at your first
meeting at his apartment. How did you pass the time?
Nicolas Roeg: I passed the time wondering how much longer he would be! He was doing a recording and I arrived at around six in the evening. I just sat there, made the notes and had a look round the kitchen. I didn't go and check out the house - he was renting it. He finally got back about two in the morning, by which time I'd made a lot of notes. I'd never met him before but I'd seen [1974 Bowie documentary] Cracked Actor. He arrived and he was terrific. He's an amazing man, quite extraordinary. He said, "Hello, sorry I'm late. I think I'll do it. What do you want me to do?" That was the entire conversation!
How was Bowie on set?
When he arrived, his caravan [trailer] was full of personal things - virtually between takes he'd go back there. That sort of [detacted] attitude was not conventional or clichéd - it was real with him. He wasn't putting it on, it was who he was. It just confirmed more and more how right he was for the role. I remember the producer at one point said, "I'm a bit worried about the performance" - they didn't see how good it was. Mr Newton was trying to be mingled with and not noticed, [but kept revealing] some extraordinary flaw. For example, Bowie has a marvellous laugh. It was just left of centre. It was like [Bowie had thought], "Isn't that how they laugh on Earth?"
How did you deal with Bowie's interest in the occult? You had to
move his trailer because it was on an Indian burial
It's OK. We all have our beliefs or our agnosticism. Think about it: maybe they are right? Who knows? I wouldn't like to be a non-believer in anything.
Do you remember when Bowie brought his son Duncan Jones to the set?
I must confess, I don't. Funnily enough, a son of mine knows [Duncan] as well. I liked his approach to his movie and Moon was terrific. Maybe we will meet [properly] some day. He's a great success.
Bowie kept mentioning Howard Hughes
as an inspiration for Mr Newton. Was that a comparison you found
I was satisfied if he thought that and I didn't want to disturb that. I had a different thought about a company director, funnily enough. We wanted something he could invent that was a silly impossibility. I forget who it was - it might have been my idea - but we thought maybe it was a camera where you take the film and throw the camera away. Something insane! Within four years of filming it, I was at LA airport and saw a Fuji disposable camera. I didn't get a penny. [chuckles]
What became Low was originally going to be the
film soundtrack - how did it feel when Bowie sent you a
I enjoyed it tremendously. I think it was terrific, because the cover of Low was so good.I can understand why he didn't put himself. It wasn't out of resentment - it would have got in the way of being Mr Newton. He was wiser. I respect him tremendously. I'm glad I never felt bad about it - I pondered it and thought, "It belongs to Mr Bowie." The only people who were complaining were saying, "We could have released the soundtrack. That would have been fantastic!" F*** it, I know it's right.
In a number of subsequent interviews Bowie has discussed how he
was on drugs at the time...
He lived very separately. He had his caravan. He was a very controlled and highly intelligent man. That's not a flattery thing - intellectually he was very focused, very sharp. People get stoned in different ways - if they're nervous or worried or upset, they're looking for happiness. I never questioned him on the reasons. It stepped up after the film was over and when we went to see him during post-production he was heavily getting into it. After all, at one time people used cocaine in a very general way - in Victorian times, they used all kinds of drugs and things. I've known alcoholics and drink doesn't have the same effect on [everyone].
Bowie told NME
afterwards that he was was considering moving to New Mexico. Did
you feel that he was enjoying himself?
I couldn't tell that. We seemed to be very close and separate at the same time. We had one purpose, which I liked very much. Very often one has to reassure the artist about their nervousness of becoming a different person. With him it was the reverse effect - it happened to me more than him! He did understand the character and it's reflection of the extremes of behaviour we all go through. When Mr Newton came to a strange place, he spoke language in a weird way like a foreigner. Bowie was a foreigner, a stranger in a strange land - he was an Englishman in New Mexico. The locals probably thought of Englishmen completely differently…

Today we celebrate one of the two most important days in the Christian calendar, Easter. This is the day that Christ arose from the grave so that we can have eternal life. I hope that as your family meets today for church and maybe an Easter dinner afterwards that you'll be mindful of what this day means to us.
It's March - can you believe this weather?
Seems like last year about this time, we were just about to go under water. I finally turned my rain gauge right-side-up to just see how much we have been getting and, lo and behold, if I didn't have to turn it back over to keep it from freezing.
Gets back to our saying here in Louisiana, "If you don't like the weather, just go to sleep one night."
It's turkey season once again, and grown men and women will do and act like they never will. It's a different game. Something that just has not moved up the "chain," with a brain about the size of a "swoll-up" soybean seed, eyesight and hearing that are just phenomenal and, I'm telling you, if the wild turkey could smell, we would have to get something from NASA to harvest one or we would never kill one.
Dennis Dosher and I started hunting turkeys in the late 70's-early 80's. We have slept in nylon tents, campers and camps. We have hunted in rain, heat, cold, mud, dust, everything but snow. Mike May and I have followed suit. We've hunted turkeys in Missouri, Mississippi, Alabama and, of course, here, and it's just as exciting everywhere.
We'll try to catch up on the next month as we go to press time nearly as I write this.
I have, so far, made only one feeble turkey hunt. Didn't see or hear nothing. I'm talkin' no squirrel, deer, hog, bear, hoot owl, nothing - and I was in a place that turkeys are known to frequent. The boys, Chunk and Tater, my wife's mother-in-law's oldest two great grandboys, were here from last Friday until Wednesday PM. We didn't even get to go camping, though we were figuring on going Thursday or Friday. Oh well.
Dog-gone-it, I hate to preach to the choir, but if you are hunting turkeys, hunt safe. I've never seen a turkey worth someone's eyes, other body parts or a human life.
Once again, DO NOT get in or on a mechanized vehicle with a loaded shotgun. I know I would hate like the dickens to have to try to digest a load of copper-plated 6's in the belly at, say, five feet.
Be sure of your shot. A turkey in Louisiana must have a beard. Yes, some hens have a beard-like growth also. Those of us that pursue this majestic bird know also being in the woods this time of year is just amazing. Hill hunters have the dogwoods blooming that really adds a certain beauty to the landscape. Enjoy this last segment of our 2012-13 hunting season.
Be reminded that the National Rifle Association's annual business meeting will be held in Houston this May. It's time to start acquiring lodging, tickets and making plans.
I'm tellin' you, you will never in all your life be around a better group of people. You will also get to see all the newest gear, gadgets and firearms on display by the various manufacturers. You will not, however, get to buy anything at the show but maybe a guided hunt to somewhere. It's about like being a "blind dog in a meat house."
I will once again urge you to contact Senators Mary Landrieu and David Vitter and urge them to vote against the upcoming so-called assault weapon ban. This, folks, is just a "foot-in-the-door" for more legislation and future confiscation of any firearms the government deems dangerous.
We all feel for the people up north that lost little ones, how needlessly terrible. You are far more likely to die from bunches of things than an assault rifle.
Many of you will "yap" away the three or four minutes needed to contact these elected officials. Give your name and contact information to the page that you talk with. You can't legislate morality or insanity or ignorance.
» Senator Landrieu, 431 Dirksen Senate Office Building, Washington DC 20510, phone, 202-224-5824, email, www.landrieu.senate.gov/?p=contact.
» Senator Vitter, 516 Hart Senate Office Building, Washington DC 20510, phone 202-224-4623,email, www.vitter.senate.gov
If you get a chance, take a kid fishing or hunting. For that matter, take anyone. One doesn't have to kill to enjoy our outdoors.
Some of the best friends and meals are made "at the camp."

Iranian leader hopes for reopening of US embassyComment on this story
Davos, Switzerland - The United states could reopen its Tehran embassy, Iranian President Hassan Rowhani indicated ahead of his speech at the World Economic Forum on Thursday.
Rowhani made his comments in an interview with Swiss public broadcaster RTS, four days after Iran started scaling back its nuclear activities and the US and the European Union suspended sanctions as part of an agreement to ease concerns about alleged Iranian nuclear weapons projects.
"The reopening of an American embassy in Tehran is not impossible," Rowhani said on the sidelines of the meeting of global political and business leaders in the Swiss ski resort of Davos.
The US embassy in Tehran has been closed for more than 30 years since the Islamic revolution in Iran.
The president has made clear that his goal in Davos is to woo Western investors and to meet chief executives of global oil and gas companies.
Western sanctions are currently only suspended, and the ban on Iranian oil exports remains in force.
However, Iran and six world powers are aiming to conclude a final agreement in the next six months under which sanctions would be scrapped for good, in return for additional nuclear concessions.
Along with Rowhani, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is also set to give a keynote speech later Thursday. - Sapa-dpa

The work was restaged by Stevenson for the International Ballet in London in 1948. Rofe had written the music in London while studying at the Royal College of Music. When plans to produce it as a ballet had fallen through, Rofe offered the music to Borovansky who in turn gave it to Stevenson. Rofe's original title for the music was Sea Ballet. Sea Legend was notated in Labanotation in 1986 as part of the Australian Choreographic Project. While without a distinctively Australian theme, its all Australian creative team of Stevenson, Rofe and McCulloch make it a very early, perhaps the first, all Australian production.

|Does US Medical Licensing Examination Step l score really matter in surgical residency match outcomes (and should it)?
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18308226 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: The relationship between US Medical Licensing Examination Step 1 scores and core surgical-specialty match outcomes has not been well defined. STUDY DESIGN: With IRB approval, we measured associations between aggregate Step 1 scores and other specialty-specific, match-process variables for 3 surgical-specialty matches. Chi-square tests measured differences between proportions of US students and independent applicants (ie, all non-US allopathic student applicants) who matched. Independent samples t-tests compared differences in Step 1 scores between matched- and unmatched-applicant groups. Pearson correlations measured the magnitude and direction of associations between matched-applicants' Step 1 scores and other variables of interest and between Step 1 scores for all match participants and percentage of positions filled by US students (two-tailed p values). RESULTS: Step 1 scores were lower for unmatched- than matched-applicant groups for each specialty examined (each p < 0.0001). Matched-applicant groups' Step 1 scores positively correlated with each unmatched-applicant groups' Step 1 scores (r =.82, p < 0.0001), Step 1 gap between matched- and unmatched-applicant groups' scores (r = .40, p = 0.035), percentage of positions filled by US students (r = .62, p < 0.0001), and mean number of applications filed/applicant (r = .50, p < 0.0001). Step 1 scores for all match participants correlated with percentage of positions filled by US students (r = .61, p = 0.0006). CONCLUSIONS: Step 1 scores were closely related to match process outcomes and match participation itself, with increasing Step 1 scores among both matched- and unmatched-applicant groups as specialty selectivity increased.

Orpheum Theatre
Sault Ste. Marie,
1 person favorited this theater
The Orpheum in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario opened in 1935 and closed in 1979. It was operated by Famous Players.
Recent comments (view all 4 comments)
They used to show a lot of "B" movies and double bills. Probably the least attended movie theater in the city. My parents were there the night the ceiling started caving in. The theater was demolished shortly thereafter.
The Orpheum Theatre was located on Queen Street. Anybody know the address? On the Sault St. Marie page on Facebook, it states that the Orpheum is "right next door" to the Biltmore, existing now as the Lock City Grand Theatre. The Biltmore opened in 1950 (658 seats), became the Odeon in 1965 and closed in 1989. It was a bingo hall, then it was restored in 2007 as the Lock City Grand.
Using the Google street view, the Orpheum was probably to the right of the Biltmore/Grand, and demolished. There is a newer building in the view, with an alleyway to the right of this. In the archive photo of the Orpheum, there is an alleyway to the right of the building. The same? Maybe.

Results of Tuesday's referendum on the future of the city water system clearly show that residents want the city to retain control of the system, Mayor Terry Bellamy said Wednesday.
"It was a resounding vote for the city of Asheville to keep management of the system," Bellamy said.
But Nathan Ramsey, whose election to a state House seat Tuesday will give him a say over the issue if it reaches the General Assembly, said Wednesday the referendum "wasn't relevant." ...

I find it unimaginable that Penn State is still planning on playing a football game against Nebraska on Saturday. Not only should the game not be played, the Nittany Lions should forfeit. The only argument that one could make for playing the game would be that it penalizes the current players if you don't. But this situation is so beyond that right now it's embarrassing. To be clear, this is not fair to the current players. People who should know better have ruined it for them. And now everyone at Penn State will have to pay.
Playing a game of football on Saturday sends the message that "we think it's ok to put this situation 'on hold' for three hours." All the while, the college president and the football coach and everyone in between have not said a word.
I probably like sports more than most people, but in my opinion, a game on Saturday would be wrong.

Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease through MRI neuroimaging biomarkers has been used as a complementary marker for traditional clinical markers to improve diagnostic accuracy and also help in developing new pharmacotherapeutic trials. It has been revealed that longitudinal analysis of the whole brain atrophy has the power of discriminating Alzheimer's disease and elderly normal controls. In this work, effect of involving intermediate atrophy rates and impact of using uncorrelated principal components of these features instead of original ones on discriminating normal controls and Alzheimer's disease subjects, is inspected. In fact, linear discriminative analysis of atrophy rates is used to classify subjects into Alzheimer's disease and controls. Leave-one-out cross-validation has been adopted to evaluate the generalization rate of the classifier along with its memorization. Results show that incorporating uncorrelated version of intermediate features leads to the same memorization performance as the original ones but higher generalization rate. As a conclusion, it is revealed that in a longitudinal study, using intermediate MRI scans and transferring them to an uncorrelated feature space can improve diagnostic accuracy.

|A rare cause of Dysphagia: a case report.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22754848 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|Dysphagia is a common clinical symptom for an ENT surgeon in his clinic, evaluation of which may not be a great challenge. The objective of this article is to report a rare cause of dysphagia which may be difficult to diagnose unless specifically thought of. This is a report of a case of dysphagia secondary to myasthenia gravis seen in a young lady along with tongue fasciculation in an early onset case unlike the ones reported in the literature where the patients are elderly and more often males in the late phase of the disease. At times, dysphagia may be seen secondary to some rare causes and may mislead the doctor. A carefully taken history and methodical clinical examination will avoid unnecessary invasive procedures and delay in the diagnosis.

A visit to her invalid parents in Indiana, where she treated them to a cooking frenzy, gave New York City actress Gretchen Cryer an idea. Two years and about $500,000 (a third from a bank loan, a third from the SBA, and a third from private investors) later, the Extended Family opened its doors. It currently ships 75 care packages a week (each containing one week's worth of home-cooked meals, for one or two, priced between $60 and $100). Shipping costs $5 within an approximately 350-mile radius of the company's Hudson, N.Y., headquarters. Cryer's goal is to open 6 to 10 kitchens around the country. Originally targeted to housebound seniors, the mail-order meals also appeal to new mothers and two-career families, Cryer reports.

11 die, scores injured in Abuja New Year's eve bomb blasts
11 die, scores injured in Abuja New Year's eve bomb blasts
on: 31 Dec 10, 10:54 PM (4 years ago)
Two months after some bombs were set off in Abuja killing several people and injuring tens of others, another explosion rocked the city on Friday.
The nation's capital experienced its first baptism of terrorists' callousness on October 1 while the nation was celebration its 50th independence anniversary.
The bomb blast of Friday went off inside the Mammy Market at the Sani Abacha Barracks, which is just a five-minute drive from Aso Rock.
As at the time of going to press, the information was still sketchy but witnesses said it went off around 7. 00 p.m. and by the time the dust settled, 11 people were confirmed dead while several others sustained varied degrees of injuries.
Friday's blast came exactly a week after similar explosions rocked Jos, the Plateau State capital killing at least 62 people at the last count.
Fear of fresh attacks has made several churches in Jos and neighbouring towns enlist the services of private guards to secure their worship centres.
Security agencies have, however, been put on red alert all over the country.
A high ranking security source told our correspondent on Friday that heavy security has been thrown around public offices, vital installations and religious places.
Barracks, airports and residents of public officials are now heavily monitored.
The move is a fallout of the attack in Jos and Abuja.
Although, there are no report of immediate threats to Southern states, a worried President Goodluck Jonathan has directed that all regions in the country should be covered.
Saturday Independent investigation revealed that most of the churches in Jos now have private guards manning the entrance to their premises.
The fears are heightened as Christians are expected to gather at various worship centres to celebrate the New Year.
Worshipers now go through routine checks before they are allowed to go in to worship for fear of unwanted guests sneaking into the churches to attack worshipers.
Church leaders in the state in November last year, had alerted the government and security agencies to what they called "planned moves by some Islamic fundamentalists to attack churches in Jos – especially pastors of several churches in Jos – and its environs,'' but both the government and the police authorities in the state allegedly waived the fears aside, calling them alarmists.
Speaking in an interview with Saturday Independent on the development, North Central Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Yakubu Pam, said he expected the Federal Government and the Plateau State leadership to have done everything humanly possible to bring lasting peace back to Jos over the years rather than shedding crocodile tears when the did had already been done.
He asked rhetorically, "what has become of the judicial commissions of inquiry into the past crises in Jos and what has happened to the report of Presidential report of Chief Solomon Lar committee that sat for several months and finally handed their reports to President Goodluck Jonathan?"
He gave his backing to the decision of church leaders in the state to enlist the services of private guards to guide themselves, saying worshipers' security should be the upper most consideration of their leaders.
Pam, who had a bitter encounter with former President Olusegun Obasanjo, when Pam was the CAN chairman in the state, tasked the state government and Jonathan to go all out to fish out those behind the Christmas Eve multiple bomb blasts in Jos with a view to bring the perpetrators of the act to book.
On the other hand, the Plateau State Commissioner for Information, Gregory Nyelong, told Saturday Independent that the government of Governor Jonah Jang is alive to its responsibility and has been doing all it could together with Jonathan to restore peace in Jos.
He said over N20million has been spent by the state government in providing relief materials and hospital consumable for the treatment of the injured at the University of Jos Teaching Hospital and other hospitals in the area.
He called on other well-meaning Nigerians to come to the aid of the state, saying those who did not wish Plateau well are trying all they could to destroy the peace of the state.
Nyelong called on the people of the state especially residents of Jos to be vigilant and report any strange movement of persons to security agencies for prompt action.
Since the Christmas Eve bombings in Jos, reprisal attacks have taken place around Angwan Rukuba, Tina Junction and Dutse Uku areas of Jos North Local Government area of the state.
Following the development, the state Commissioner of Police, Abdulrahman Akano, had to douse the tension in Jos saying the crisis was not religious but political, advising the political class to iron their differences in the interest of peace.
He stated in an interview with journalists that Christians should go about their Sunday activities without fear of molestation as security arrangements have been put in place to ensure their safety in their churches.
He said bomb experts would be drafted to churches to scrutinise worshipers and Special Task Force (STF) members would be there to complement the police duty by providing security around the churches, while investigations are continuing to fish out the perpetrators of the bomb blasts.
Meanwhile, Deputy Governor of the state and governorship aspirant under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Pauline Tallen, has warned that no amount of pull-down-syndrome embarked upon by Jang and his loyalists could stop her from going ahead with her ambition to contest this year's governorship election in the state.
Tallen, at a press conference held on Thursday, at her private residence at Rayfied in Jos, told journalists that the moves by the government of the day to link her to the Christmas Eve bomb blasts in Jos was very unfortunate, saying it was wrong for her boss to regard the ugly incident as the handiwork of his political opponents.
She said she had done no wrong to receive such "unpleasant attacks from the government and its agents," since she made known her ambition to run the governorship race.
She accused the governor of playing to the gallery by his actions, which are centered on his ambition instead of the people.
According to her, "I'm even pained that in the midst of this chaotic situation, the leadership in the state is more concerned about its ambition rather than the lives of the ordinary Plateau man affected by the bomb blasts."

Well, I figured now is as good a time as any to start a thread to record Sequoya's progress in her foaling journey. :)
But first,some info.
Sequoya - 6 yrs. Old (2006)
-maiden mare
-˝ Saddlebred,3/8 Friesian,1/8 Arab
- she has Color Command and endurance racing Arab
bloodlines on her dam's side, and imported Friesian and
Saddlebred bloodlines on her sire's side
-bay tobiano
-15.1 hh
"Quoya" was born and raised here on our farm. She has a wonderful mind and beautiful personality to go along with her pretty looks, and is one of those all around truly great horses that is a joy to be around and will try anything for you. She has some great blood in her, but unfortunately a lot of the info on her predigree has been lost due to people moving, losing papers,ect. She has never been shown, despite people wanting to buy her for that purpose,as we chose instead to keep her and use her for pleasure riding and as a working farm horse,a role which she seems to enjoy.
She was pasture bred,turned out with the stud from Jun.11-Jul.25/11,which I believe puts her due between May 16-Jun.29 (340 days).
It's driving me crazy not having an exact due date,but it seems no mare is going by her due date this year anyways! :) Hopefully she'll be the type that will show lot of signs and give some warning.. She is handling her first pregnancy with her usual sweet attitude.So far.
Mbar Jack Jeans - 5 yrs. (2007)?
-AQHA registered Quarter Horse
-he is out of a granddaughter of Two Eyed Twister,
who is a son of Two Eyed Jack,and by MBar Smokin
Bo,a son of the AQHA champion stallion,I'll SmokeYa
- dark copper sorrel
-15.2-15.3 hh
I have had the pleasure of working and being around "JR", and what a great young stud he is! Built like a QH is meant to be and with a gorgeous hip,he is smart as a whip and hard working, but super quiet.Being young, he has only has a couple crops of babies on the ground,but boy,do they look good! I especially like, and have also worked with, his grandpa,I'll SmokeYa,also know as Howard,who has many championships to his name and definitely has the wow factor.JR seems to have inherited a number of things from Howard,and I'm excited to see which of his traits come out in this baby.
In regards to the baby,I am hoping for a tobiano filly,but will love whoever comes out. :) What the baby will grow up to be used for will depend somewhat on what characteristics of the different breeds show up more, but we have a lot of options in that regard. I have crossed these bloodlines in the past (with the addition this time of I'll SmokYa's) with good results,and can't wait for this baby!

A small, nonprofit school was burglarized over the holiday break with thieves making off with computers, cash, paychecks and the school's minivan, school officials said Sunday.
The intruder or intruders entered through a second-story window, likely on Dec. 23, by picking away the putty that secured a plexiglass window, said New Horizon School & Learning Center founder and director Marianne McCarthy Campbell. Motion detectors were believed to have been disabled.
"It's so depressing," she said.
The school, located in a converted house on Third Street in Santa Rosa, serves 17 full-time students, many with learning disabilities who have failed to thrive on traditional campuses. An additional 12 students are served by programs at offsite locations.
The burglars found a cache of keys and broke many in locks as they attempted to break into filing cabinets and drawers, school officials said.
"The keys were all over the place," said Karen Schoeman, the school's administrative secretary, who discovered the theft Wednesday.
Musical instruments were pulled from their cases and cabinets and her desk had been rifled through, she said.
"As I looked further, I saw much more of a mess everywhere," she said.
The stolen computers were loaded with software with voice recorders designed to help children with dyslexia or other communication difficulties craft papers and print reports.
The theft totaled about $35,000, Campbell said, but a key loss is the school's vehicle, a van purchased new nine years ago.

SANFORD, Fla. (AP) - Defense attorneys are asking a judge to end the 24-hour GPS monitoring of George Zimmerman while he is out on bond in the fatal shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.
Judge Debra Nelson is scheduled to hear at least eight new motions in the case on Tuesday. Besides dropping the monitoring, the defense wants the former neighborhood watch volunteer to be able to live outside Seminole County.
His attorneys also are looking for copies of FBI communications with local investigators.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the 17-year-old Martin's shooting following an altercation in Sanford in February. He has pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense under Florida's "stand your ground" law.
Nelson had set a trial date for June 10 and a "stand your ground" hearing for 45 days before trial.

Work is taking longer than expected to replace a heavily used but structurally deficient York County bridge that's been closed since May.
The contractor building a new bridge across Codorus Creek at the south end of Spring Grove needs another month to finish the job, PennDOT spokesman Mike Crochunis said Wednesday.
Most likely, Route 116 will reopen April 10 at the earliest, Crochunis said.
Motorists who use the road to travel between Hanover and York have been detoured around Spring Grove since May 22, when Allan A. Myers, LP of Montgomery County, started work to replace the 90-year-old bridge deemed structurally deficient.
PennDOT has estimated 17,000 vehicles use the bridge each day.
The new bridge will be 153 feet long and 40 feet wide, with an expanse that allows for two lanes and a sidewalk.
The $4.3 million project was supposed to be complete by the end of February.
But, Crochunis said, issues arose that caused delays - including Hurricane Sandy in October.
PennDOT and the contractor are negotiating a new deadline for a project originally bid to take 280 days, Crochunis said.
For now, PennDOT is not planning to impose financial penalties on the contractor for extending the deadline, he said.
"Their goal is to get it open as soon as possible," he said.

Zen Buddhists say: Wash out your mouth every time you say Buddha. To contemporary environmentalists, I wish to say: Wash out your mouth every time you say "Nature" or "Environment"!
So long as we live fixated on our screens, unacquainted with the smell of dirt, we will remain caught in this double bind: alienated from nature, longing for "Nature."
So long as we feel detached from nature, we will yearn for it — as if it were something separate, as if it were just a concept of our invention, as if we were not born-of and made-of it, as if we could even exist or survive without the relations that comprise it.
So long as we "grow" and "progress" and "develop," we will dream in screenshots instead of landscapes. Forests, deer and wolves will be good for desktop pictures. We will cordon off our love for only a select few species of animals, while the rest we will use for food, clothing and entertainment.
This is why they don't visit me in my dreams. Why they do not speak to us anymore. Why they run away when humans get close.

Jeff Chew believes the time has come for the Hortonville girls' basketball team to make a major jump.
The Polar Bears went just 8-16 last season and 6-10 in the Bay Conference, but return almost the entire roster and should be a much-improved squad.
Chew is comfortable with his team's talent level and sees no reason why the Polar Bears can't compete with the top teams in the Bay. ...

Hello everyone so admittedly Im rather intimidated here, but I do want to improve with my art so I shall suck up my anxiety and ask for some constructive criticism. I really need a lot of pointers when it comes to anatomy as Im fonder of drawing faces but clearly thats not going to cut it (I really want to improve on my anatomy!)
So for my story I intentionally wanted to challenge myself by making my protagonist a male because Im terrible with drawing men and I need to improve plus I gave him spikey hair because well I suck at spikey hair. Oh and I really appreciate tips and pointers on how to draw hands and folds on clothing.
Clearly Im going for the manga look in the first three pictures yet I dont want it to look too manga generic I sort of want it to be recognizably my own style so I suppose that takes time and practice.
Also Id like some pointers on portraits, as you can see from my last pic I also enjoy drawing those. That in particular is a self-portrait drawn nearly a year ago. So all in all I guess I want you guys to tell me what works and what doesnt work and how to improve with the manga drawings and the more realistic portraits ^_^ Thanks for your time.
