A lynx is a medium-sized wildcat, generally known for its reflective eyes, short tail and tufted black hair on its ears.[1]
Kingsley Shacklebolt's Patronus takes the form of a lynx. In 1997, it appeared to the guests at the Wedding of William Weasley and Fleur Delacour and warned them of the Fall of the Ministry of Magic.[2]

Scholarly Smackdown: The Stem Cell Debate
Two ethical scholars plunge into the scientific and moral divide over embryonic stem cell research.
Ronald M. Green, chair of the department of religion at Dartmouth College, serves on the Ethics Advisory Board of Advanced Cell Technology, a biotechnology company.
Nigel Cameron is research professor of bioethics at Chicago-Kent College of Law and president of the Institute on Biotechnology and the Human Future.
Anyone who concluded from Ron Reagan's remarks that stem cells promise an imminent cure for Alzheimer's disease is mistaken. Stem cell transplant therapies for neurological diseases are still years away, and then most probably for conditions like Parkinson's disease. The damage caused by the buildup of diseased cells and plaques in Alzheimer's disease is so extensive that it is hard to see how any transplant could help.
Nevertheless, Ron Reagan is right for several reasons to stress the importance of stem cell research and to appeal for a change in current regulations.
First, a journey of many miles requires a first step. Research begun now with adequate federal support will undoubtedly lead to breakthroughs, some of them currently unanticipated. I fail to understand the logic of those who oppose research because the benefits are not presently obvious. Research is always a step into the unknown. You would not do research if you knew the answers.
Second, even though it is unlikely that stem cells will soon lead to therapeutic transplants, these technologies (including the use of biomedical cloning) can help us produce a series of model cell lines exhibiting the Alzheimer pathology. This will allow us to study the disease progression in the laboratory and better understand what goes wrong with neuronal functioning where the disease is present.

A ward is a member of a noble house who has been taken in by another noble family to be raised for a time. The practice varies, with sometimes the practice being undertaken voluntarily - to help prospective heirs learn the customs of other regions of Westeros as part of their education, for example - but also involuntarily, with the "ward" actually being as a hostage for his or her family's good behavior or until a ransom is paid. Sometimes, as part of marriage alliances, one of the betrothed is taken as a ward so he or she can get to know his or her future spouse.
In cases of wards who are political hostages, because they are of noble blood and valuable in the peace agreement, they are not treated as mere prisoners to be thrown in a castle's dungeons. Such wards are treated with full courtly etiquette as noble guests, and quite often are treated as essentially foster children of their "captor". Such hostage-wards are given free run of the castle they are staying in, eat at the castle lord's table, and are essentially raised alongside their own children. The only limit is that they are forbidden to leave the bounds of their host's lands and return to their original homes.
While wards fall under the Lord's protection as a member of his household, their relationship is not technically seen as enjoying benefits of guest right, particularly for wards who are political hostages. Thus Theon Greyjoy was not accused of violating guest right when he betrayed the Starks, which would have been a far worse crime.
Season 1
Petyr Baelish reminisces with Eddard Stark about how the latter's brother injured him in a duel fought for the honor of Catelyn Tully whilst he was a ward of Catelyn's father.[1]
Theon Greyjoy was given up by his father and surrendered to the custody of Lord Eddard Stark following his failed rebellion. Although Theon was raised and educated by the Starks and treated well, he was nevertheless a captive, something that rankles with him when Tyrion Lannister taunts him over the matter.[2]
Following the arrest and execution of her father, Sansa Stark becomes a ward and hostage of Queen Cersei Lannister.[3]
Season 2
As part of a marriage alliance arranged by Tyrion Lannister, Princess Myrcella Baratheon is taken to Sunspear as a ward of House Martell so she will get to know her betrothed, Trystane Martell.[4]
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, wardship or fostering is seen as an honorable and common tradition. The ward is an honorary member of the house for the duration of his or her stay, including having a raised social status if he or she is from a lesser house. Fostering frequently results in close ties and sometimes alliances being formed between houses from different sides of the continent. Most notably, Eddard Stark first met Robert Baratheon when they were both wards of Lord Jon Arryn of the Eyrie, leading to their lifelong friendship and an alliance between their houses.
Other notable examples of wardship include:
- Prince Oberyn Martell being a ward of Lord Qorgyle at Sandstone.
- Prince Quentyn Martell being a ward of Lord Yronwood at Yronwood.
- Ser Loras Tyrell being a ward and squire of Lord Renly Baratheon at Storm's End.
- Ser Jaime Lannister being a ward and squire of Lord Sumner Crakehall at Crakehall.
- "Big" Walder Frey and "Little" Walder Frey, both grandsons of Lord Walder Frey, being wards of Catelyn Tully at Winterfell as part of the alliance between House Stark and House Frey.
In real life
In real life, it has been common practice throughout history for defeated lords to hand over one of their children as a hostage to be raised as the ward of a victorious lord. The hostages were treated well according to their social rank, but kept as a guarantee that should the defeated party break the truce, their children could be easily killed. The practice dates back to ancient history and there are numerous examples from the time of the Roman Empire, i.e. Aetius, the last great Roman general who lived during the fifth century and defeated Attila the Hun, knew Hun battle tactics because he had been raised as a political hostage at the Hun court. The practice of handing over hostages to be raised as wards was also commonly used in the Middle Ages, and even into the Early Modern era.

Fact Sheet: Chlorophyllin: Is it Effective Odor Control?107
Odor is what informs those around you that you have a problem with your bowel or bladder control. It causes a great deal of distress. This was also the case with patients with colostomies before good stoma appliances became available, which was about thirty to thirty-five years ago. Since the output could not be directly controlled, attention was turned to control of the odor. There were several ways in which odor was addressed – changes in diet and medication. The medications used were charcoal in various forms, which is still used commonly today, and a product that is seldom seen today, chlorophyllin.
Fact Sheet: Biofeedback & Bowel Disorders: Teaching Yourself to Live without the Problem112
By: Mary K. Plummer, OTR, BCIA-PMBD; Jeanette Tries, PhD, OTR
Biofeedback is a neuromuscular reeducation tool we can use to tell if certain processes in our bodies are working correctly. It is a painless process that uses a computer and a video monitor to display bodily functions that we usually are not aware of. Special sensors measure these functions, which are displayed as sounds we can hear, or as linegraphs we can see on a computer screen. A therapist helps us use this displayed information to modify or change abnormal responses to more normal patterns such as increasing a response, decreasing a response, or learning to coordinate two responses more effectively.Topics: Bowel urgency, CAM, Complementary & Alternative Treatments, Constipation, difficult to pass stools, Diarrhea, loose stools, Incontinence, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Lower Abdominal Pain, Pelvic Pain, Pelvic floor disorders
Fact Sheet: What you can do after. (Anal discomfort and how to deal with it)137
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
Symptoms related to this sensitive area can be very troubling, yet many people are reluctant to discuss them. Itching (pruritis ani), painful defecation, stained underwear, spotting of blood, and offensive odor add up to embarrassment, distress, social handicap and anguish. These complaints of anal discomfort are very common. Symptoms may coexist with the irritable bowel syndrome or other functional bowel disease. Diarrhea and constipation may aggravate them. Anal symptoms are not part of these conditions as they may occur independently. They may be due to or associated with many local diseases. Whatever the association, perianal irritation can be treated. Find out how to get help and what to do about it.

Fact Sheet: Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders of the Small Intestine, Large Intestine, Rectum, and Pelvic Floor162
The gastrointestinal tract is divided into four distinct parts that are separated by sphincter muscles; these four regions have distinctly different functions to perform and different patterns of motility (contractions). Abnormal motility or abnormal sensitivity in any part of the gastrointestinal tract can cause characteristic symptoms: food sticking, pain, or heartburn in the esophagus; nausea and vomiting in the stomach; pain and bloating in the small intestine; and pain, constipation, diarrhea, and incontinence in the colon and rectum.Topics: Bowel urgency, CAM, Complementary & Alternative Treatments, Colonic motility, inertia, pseudo-obstruction, Constipation, difficult to pass stools, Diarrhea, loose stools, Incontinence, Motility, Pelvic floor disorders
Fact Sheet: Difficult to Interpret Intestinal Complaints179
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
Disorders of gastrointestinal function such as the irritable bowel syndrome or functional constipation, diarrhea, or bloating are characterized by no structural abnormality. In these cases, diagnosis depends entirely upon the history, and diagnostic tests, if needed at all, are done to rule out inflammations, tumors and other anatomic gut disease. Accurate diagnosis depends upon how accurately the individual describes his or her symptoms, and how skillfully the doctor interprets them.

Fact Sheet: The Medical History: How to Help Your Doctor Help You221
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
The most important interaction between patient and doctor is the medical history.

Soul Shepherding
Soul Shepherding cultivates intimacy with Jesus for pastors, pastors' spouses, ministry leaders, and counselors because abiding in the Lord Jesus Christ is the only source of lasting joy and fruitfulness (John 15:5, 11).
Bill and Kristi Gaultiere lead the ministry of Soul Shepherding. As Christ-centered Psychotherapists since 1987, they have helped hundreds of people overcome problems with anxiety, depression, compulsive behavior, marriage conflicts, and burnout. As Spiritual Directors they help people to hear God's voice and experience his love.
The heartbeat of Soul Shepherding transcends a professional office — it's "love your neighbor pastor." In addition to meeting with clients in their office, Bill and Kristi meet with ministry leaders at coffee shops, walking trails, homes, churches, and retreat centers. They offer safe, caring connections in private conversations and also in groups. And they train pastors and leaders to care for still other pastors and leaders.
Bill Gaultiere
Bill Gaultiere, Ph.D. works full time for Soul Shepherding as a licensed Psychologist (PSY12036 in CA), certified Spiritual Director, and ordained Pastor. Also as a consultant Bill has helped to plant a church, bring renewal to a large and declining church, and guide executive teams of churches and nonprofits. The author four books, including You Can Live in Jesus' Easy Yoke, Bill speaks at churches and Christian conferences and leads retreats and mission trips.
Bill continues to see a few psychotherapy clients from the public under Christian Soul Care. Previously Bill served as a Pastor of Spiritual Formation and the Executive Director a church's lay counseling ministry (training over 1,000 Christian counselors). He also has taught courses in psychology and spirituality at the graduate school level for Azusa Pacific University, Hope International University, and other schools.
"Being with Jesus to become like him" is Bill's personal mission statement, which he brings into the challenges of family, ministry leadership, and personal soul care. God has helped him overcome workaholism and anxiety through his own experience of being in psychotherapy and being personally mentored by Ray Ortlund and Dallas Willard. Bill enjoys playing with Kristi, hiking, jogging, praying the Psalms, reading the classics of Christian devotion, writing prayer poems, and spending extended time in solitude and silence with Jesus.
Kristi Gaultiere
Kristi Gaultiere, Psy.D is a Psychotherapist (LPC4 and MFT29887 in CA) and certified Spiritual Director who has been offering Christian psychotherapy since 1987. She works part time for Soul Shepherding with a special emphasis on caring for pastors' wives and women in ministry. She leads seminars, retreats, and mission trips for ministry leaders, including co-leading many events with Bill. She also leads prayer groups for women in ministry and pastors' wives. She also works part time for Christian Soul Care, providing psychotherapy for the public (people who are not ministry leaders).
"Trusting Jesus and venturing out with him in ministry" expresses Kristi's life purpose. She knows from personal experience of living for Jesus and caring for her soul while juggling being a pastor's wife, mother, and ministry leader. She is grateful for the ways that God has helped her experience freedom from co-dependency and depression through receiving psychotherapy and spiritual direction from others. She has been especially blessed to receive healing prayer ministry, soul friendship, and spiritual mentoring from Jane Willard.
Kristi enjoys having fun with Bill, walking around the lake, doing artistic projects, floating on a raft, and going on "EPC's" (Extended Personal Communion) with Jesus.
Board of Directors
Soul Shepherding is a 501c3 nonprofit ministry (since July 31, 2009) led by an independent Board of Directors, which Bill and Kristi submit to as unto Christ. The five voting members of the Board include:
- John Snyder, Entrepreneur and Business Owner; Dana Point, CA
- Margaret Snyder, Bible Study Leader and 12 Step Recovery Sponsor; Dana Point, CA
- Joe Johnson, Lutheran Pastor & Heart of the Father Ministries; Lake Forest, CA
- Michael Risley, Executive Pastor; Irvine, CA
- Betty Southard, Christian Author and Speaker; Newport Beach, CA
The Board ensures that Soul Shepherding glorifies Jesus Christ in all it's activities and finances, which includes the use of an outside CPA and Accounting Manager who volunteer their services. The ministry is funded primarily by tax-deductible donations from individuals, along with fees for services, honorariums, teaching seminary classes, and sales of books. All ministry decisions are based on the answer to the question, "What is the best investment of resources for the kingdom of God?"
Bill and Kristi lead semi-monthly Board meetings as spiritual formation gatherings (not agenda-driven business meetings). Up to half the time of every meeting is spent in Scripture meditation and prayer to encourage us to look to Jesus to lead the business of Soul Shepherding. Every Board decision is treated as a matter of prayerfully discerning God's will.
"All of our lives we have longed for mentors like Bill and Kristi who would be safe to share our brokenness and stretch our learning curve to grow as apprentices to Jesus. They provide a safe place where we feel listened too, honored, and encouraged to be apprentices of Jesus."We enthusiastically support their ministry on a regular basis."
Joe and Judy Johnson
Pastor and Wife
Heart of the Father Ministries
"Bill and Kristi have been great mentors and friends to us for many years."Bill is the person that most exemplifies Christ to me. Spending time with him is inevitably transformational. He has influenced everything about the way we do ministry. I wish every Pastor and ministry leader in the country could benefit from Bill's ministry."
Robert V. ("Bobby") and Hannah Schuller
Pastor and Wife
Shepherd's Grove Church & The Hour of Power
"Bill and Kristi's example and leadership of connecting me with Jesus Christ has been life-changing!"
Michael Risley
Executive Pastor
Voyagers' Bible Church
"Bill recently led a fruitful day-long retreat with our executive team. The design of the retreat included refreshing times of personal and group prayer, as well as an effective organizational strategy session that Bill helped plan and facilitate. Bill's love for Christ, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and collaborative spirit are a tremendous encouragement to our executive team."
Peter Greer
Hope International Ministry
"Dr. Bill Gaultiere is uniquely gifted to create a safe environment for pastors to connect intimately with Jesus in prayer, Scripture meditation, and spiritual conversation. Each time I meet with my monthly soul care group of local pastors I am once again deeply grateful for Bill's willingness to serve us from the overflow of his own walk with Christ."

The Maine Association of Realtors says sales of existing, single-family homes rose more than 21 percent in January, compared with the same month last year.
Sales in Maine this January of existing single-family homes jumped more than 21 percent, compared with the same month a year ago.
That's according to the Maine Association of Realtors, which says the median sales price also rose more than 3 percent, to $162,000. The median price indicates that half the homes sold for more and half for less.
The trade group says realtors in Maine sold 664 homes this January, compared with 547 in January of 2012. President Bart Stevens says the latest figures indicate a change in the market.
"We are now shifting from a strong buyer's market to a more balanced market - this is territory in which many buyers and sellers have not been for a number of years," Stevens says. "The Maine housing statistics continue to show incredible improvement each month."
Home sales nationally in January grew by 8.5 percent, compared with January of 2012, and the median sales price rose 12.6 percent to $174,100. Sales in the Northeast region grew 12.1 percent, while the regional median sales price rose 2.4 percent, to $230,500.

CoPilot Live HD – iPad's First Navigation App is a Winner
While the majority of iPad users just use their tablet around the house, more and more people are beginning to take it with them on the go.
Expect that trend to continue.
Earlier this year, CoPilot Live Premium HD became the first available iPad navigation app. It survived the strict Apple App Store approval process in May and can now be downloaded for 19.99. This app is an adaptation of CoPilot Live for iPhone, boasting an improved interface that capitalizes on the iPad's larger screen. CoPilot Live also features a number of impressive features that you won't find with other navigation apps.
First of all, it stores 2D and 3D maps of all the United States and Canada locally on the iPad. This way, you won't have to use your data plan while using the app. Since the cost of mobile connectivity can add up, this is a huge advantage for those who use their iPad to connect on the go. From personal experience, I haven't been too impressed with the 3G iPad Internet Deals in my area. It costs me nearly 20 per month for 250MB of data.
Additionally, for those who like to share their comings and goings with friends and family, CoPilot Live includes a social integration feature that lets you choose what information you publish on Facebook and Twitter.
While getting from A to B, you'll also get spoken turn-by-turn directions, graphic lane guidance and a free trial of ActiveTraffic – a nifty feature that alerts you of congested areas.

Called teaching dossiers in Canada, teaching portfolios have been in use there for over 20 years. As of 1990, it was estimated that approximately 10 U.S. institutions of higher education were using or experimenting with teaching portfolios. Seven years later, as many as 1000 U.S. institutions appeared to have incorporated teaching portfolios into the promotion and tenure process or were preparing to do so in some capacity. (Seldin, 1997)
Teaching Portfolio: What is it?
The teacher's portfolio has become a largely functional concept - changing in nature depending on the use to which it is to be applied. (Teaching Resource Center, Univ. Tenn. at Chattanooga, 1997). However, in all cases it is a compilation of information about a faculty member's work, compiled by that faculty member. It is invariably a description of a professor's teaching strengths and accomplishments, a compilation of materials which "collectively suggest the scope and quality of a professor's teaching performance" (Seldin, 1997).
Although always selective, teaching portfolios are often more comprehensive than a simple presentation of instructional accomplishments. Many portfolios also provide a means for self-reflection. Instructors may critique their work - evaluating the effectiveness of instructional activities or interactions with students or colleagues. (Doolittle, 1994).
Why a portfolio?
The reasons for maintaining a teaching portfolio are myriad, but can be loosely grouped into those that promote better teaching and those that document teaching achievement:
Promote better teaching
Document Teaching Achievement:
Contents of a portfolio
The contents of a teaching portfolio are often highly individualized and are typically determined in large part by the projected use of the portfolio. In institutions where teaching portfolios are an important component of the collection of materials used for promotion and tenure decisions, certain types of information are often required and, frequently, a fairly rigid format may be requested in order to save time for P & T committee members. Three examples of categories used in a typical teaching portfolio are:

I'm looking for a tripod that is light and compact to carry, but versatile, with features such as tilting and inverting the centre column for close-ups of small flowers, etc.
The Manfrottos look tempting. I would choose a 4-section carbon. The old 190 is shorter than I would like. I see the new 190 and 055 offer almost identical weight and height, but the 055 has larger diameter legs, which I would expect to be more rigid. Does the new 190 have any striking advantages to counter its skinny legs?

Total is right. i don't see much of that here in my part of town -- San Diego. We dress up for church, but "up" for us San Diegans is still casual, compared to the slickly put-togetherness of this gentleman. And though i am getting close to the ages of these wonderfully dressed Advanced Style ladies and gents, mylifestyle (bush woman from FIJI) is such that i don't have the inclination to dress this way.
But i sure like looking at how the other world dresses :)

Great value
Posted by NaturalMum on May 16, 2013
You cannot beat this product for price. I was using this product for a long time to supplement my multivitamin which didnt have enough Calcium and Magnesium and definitely found my nails became much stronger through its use. The types of calcium and magnesium in this product are definitely not the most bioavailable but they still do the trick. Please note the dose is 3 a day but I actually prefer to split doses as you are providing your body with a sustained supply throughout the day. Cal/mag supplements are best taken apart from your multivitamin as calcium has a tendency to bind to other nutrients and can decrease their effectiveness. Please click 'yes' if you found this helpful and click my NaturalMum link above for more reviews on natural beauty products, vitamins and supplements.

The product has a positive effect on the nervous system, heart, bones, muscles and teeth. Calcium is used for treatment and prevention of low calcium levels and resulting bone conditions like osteoporosis. Vitamin D is crucial in metabolizing calcium for healthy bones. Magnesium is very important mineral for the normal functioning of cells, nerves, muscles and the heart. Will continue to use.

Posted by patpyott on Oct 24, 2011
The pills are small and there isn't too much zinc. Some calcium pills contain 167% of the RDI of zinc, so if you also take a multi-vitamin, you may be getting too much zinc. Lord help you if that occurs.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (Univ. of Ark.) - With the help of an SEC Championships meet record in the high jump and two additional personal-best marks, University of Arkansas senior Makeba Alcide is in first place after day one of the heptathlon at the conference meet.
Through the first four events of the two-day competition, Alcide has 3,756 points which improves upon her own school record for a day-one score.
"I had an excellent day one with two PRs and a consistent high jump," Alcide said. "I was a little off in the shot put because of the weather. I had to throw in my tennis shoes which I had never done before but it was a good day overall. My aim is to qualify for the World Championships and I'm on pace to do that. Hopefully, the weather is good tomorrow to get a good long jump. I just need to stay consistent."
Alcide opened the day with a personal-best performance in the 100-meter hurdles. Running in the second of five sections, she ran to a time of 13.60 which was worth 1,036 points in the first event of the two-day competition. With her hurdle performance, Alcide replaced her previous lifetime best of 13.87 which she set at the 2012 NACAC U-23 Championships in Guanajuato, Mexico.
The Razorback senior followed up with a record-breaking effort in the high jump. Alcide won the event with a final clearance of 1.88m/6-2, establishing the SEC Championships meet record in the process. She replaced the old mark of 1.86m/6-1.25 set by Levern Spencer of Georgia in 2007. Alcide's performance also broke the Audrey J. Walton Stadium facility record and equaled the school mark she set earlier this season at the John McDonnell Combined Events.
Competing in wet conditions, Alcide had a day's best throw of 12.42m/40-9 to finish third in the shot put. The throw equaled the third-best throw of her career and the best she's had during an SEC Championship meet, seven inches beyond the mark of 40-2 she had at last year's meet.
Alcide closed out the day with another personal-best effort, this time at 200 meters. Running in section one of two, the Castries, St. Lucia, native posted a time of 24.31 to replace her previous best of 24.38 which she ran earlier this year at Texas Relays. At the end of day one of the heptathlon, Alcide leads the field by 201 points with Erica Bougard of Mississippi State in second place with 3,555 points.
In addition to the completion of the heptathlon, Friday's schedule will also feature preliminary action at 200 meters, 800 meters and in the 400-meter hurdles. Points will also be up for grabs with the final of the 10,000 meters which will include five Razorbacks. Alcide is also scheduled to compete in the open high jump competition Saturday afternoon.
The 2013 SEC Championships will be streamed live by ESPN3 on Saturday, May 11 from 3:40-6:45 p.m., and Sunday, May 12 from 2:50-6:45 p.m. Competition outside of the ESPN3 coverage windows will be made available on MUTigers.com. The 2013 SEC Outdoor Championships will air as part of a 90-minute show on ESPNU on Thursday, May 23 at 7 p.m.

Pontic steppe
Margin of the Pontic steppe along the Black Sea margin, Romania. @ C.Michael Hogan
The Pontic steppe covers an area of some 383,800 square miles, extending from the northern shores of the Black Sea eastward to northwest Kazakhstan. This ecoregion is in the Temperate Grasslands, Savannas and Shrublands biome. The expansive prairie of the Pontic steppe has a large extent of fertile soils and level topography that is inviting to grain cultivation; in fact, the western portion of the ecoregion was a target for early Greek and Roman colonization, due to the rich granary as well as near shore fisheries. However, considerable loss of habitat occurred during the Soviet era of central planning and collective farming. These losses and resulting habitat fragmentation are extant today.
There are a total of 511 vertebrate species recorded in the Pontic steppe ecoregion, including 21 threatened species, one of which is an endemic; moreover, there are 26 threatened bird taxa, four threatened reptiles and two threatened amphibians among the vertebrates. The ecoregion's natural environment is particularly rich in mammalian diversity among the mustelids, ground squirrels and other rodent species.
Location and general description
Pontic steppe ecoregion (in yellow). Source: World Wildlife Fund Stretching from the northern shores of the Black Sea in Romania to the Ural Mountains, the Pontic steppe is an element of the larger Eurasian steppe ecoregion system, which extends eastward into Siberia and Mongolia. The ecoregion, also known as the Pontic-Caspian steppe, is bounded at the north by the East European forest steppe, a transitional zone of mixed grasslands and temperate broadleaf and mixed forests. The ecoregion roughly corresponds to the combined ancient geographic regions of Scythia and Sarmatia.
Wheat farming begun by indigenous tribes in the Bronze Age, and accelerated by the ancient Greeks and Romans, leaves a continuing legacy on the landscape. There are also several prominent rivers that bisect the ecoregion, most notably the extensive braided channel architecture of the Danube Delta.
Biodiversity features
Speckled ground squirrel, Ukraine. Source: V.A.Lobkov Threatened mammals of the Pontic steppe are: the Near Threatened Bechstein's bat (Myotis bechsteinii), the Near Threatened Schreiber's long-fingered bat (Miniopterus schreibersii), the Near Threatened Caucasian mountain ground squirrel (Spermophilus musicus), the Near Threatened speckled ground squirrel (Spermophilus suslicus), the Vulnerable European ground squirrel (Spermophilus citellus), the Near Threatened western barbastelle (Barbastella barbastellus), the Endangered European mink (Mustela lutreola), the Near Threatened European otter (Lutra lutra), the Vulnerable giant mole rat (Spalax giganteous), the Near Threatened giant noctule (Nyctalus lasiopterus), the Near Threatened Kluchor birch mouse (Sicista kluchorica), the Near Threatened leopard (Panthera pardus), the Near Threatened long-clawed mole vole (Prometheomys schaposchnikowi), the Vulnerable marbled polecat (Vormela peregusna), the Vulnerable Mehely's horseshoe bat (Rhinolophus mehelyi), the Vulnerable Podolsk mole rat (Spalax zemni), the Near Threatened pond bat (Myotis dasycneme), the Near Threatened Romanian hamster (Mesocricetus newtoni), the Vulnerable Russian desman (Desmana moschata), the Endangered endemic sandy mole rat (Spalax arenarius) and the Critically Endangered saiga (Saiga tatarica).
Red-footed falcon. Source: Jutta Luft Special status avian taxa in the ecoregion are: the Vulnerable aquatic warbler (Acrocephalus paludicola), the Near Threatened black-tailed godwit (Limosa limosa), the Near Threatened black-winged pratincole (Glareola nordmanni), the Near Threatened Caucasian grouse (Tetrao mlokosiewiczi), the Vulnerable Dalmatian pelican (Pelicanus crispus), the Vulnerable yellow-breasted bunting (Emberiza aureola), the Endangered Egyptian vulture (Neophron percnopterus), the Near Threatened Eurasian curlew (Numernius arquata), the Near Threatened European roller (Coracias garrulus), the Near Threatened ferruginous pochard (Aythya nyroca), the Vulnerable great bustard (Otis tarda), the Near Threatened great snipe (Gallinago media), the Vulnerable greater spotted eagle (Aquila clanga), the Vulnerable imperial eagle (Aquila heliaca) the Vulnerable lesser kestrel (Falco naumanni), the Vulnerable lesser white-fronted goose (Anser erythropus), the Near Threatened little bustard (Tetrax tetrax), the Vulnerable marbled teal (Marmaronetto angustirostris), the Near Threatened pallid harrier (Circus macrourus), the Near Threatened red kite (Milvus milvus), the Endangered red-breasted goose (Branta ruficollis), the Near Threatened red-footed falcon (Falco vespertinus), the Vulnerable saker falcon (Falco churrug), the Near Threatened semi-collared flycatcher (Ficedula semitorquata), the Endangered white-headed duck (Oxyura leucocephala) and the Critically Endangered sociable lapwing (Vanellus gregarius).
Threatened amphibians of the Pontic steppe are represented by the Caucasian toad (Bufo verrucossimus) and the Near Threatened Danube newt (Triturus dobrogicus)
Threatened reptiles of the ecoregion include the Near Threatened European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis), the Near Threatened four-lined rat snake (Elaphe quatuorlineata), the Vulnerable Mediterranean spur-thighed tortoise (Testudo graeca) and the Vulnerable Ursini's viper (vipera Ursinii).
Ancient ruins of Histria, Romania. @ C.Michael Hogan Archaeological evidence along the northern shoreline of the Black Sea evinces human habitation as early as the Middle Paleolithic, 120,000 to 35,000 years before present. The period 4200 to 3700 BC throughout the Dobrogean region is characterised by the Hamangia culture. Excavations at Histria as well as Baia-Hamangia, Ceamuria and Golovita evince rich ceramic materials as well as sophisticated sonte tools. Ceramics recovered during the Hamangia period include globe-shaped vessels, bitronic vases, marble idols and a rich array of glasswares. Among the stone tool finds are blades, grinding tools, axes and grain mills.
Research into the flora of this era indicate that the Neolithic Period at Histria involved complex agriculture and advances in crop productivity for these early farmers. At the end of the Neolithic period (3700 to 3200 BC), tool advances were made with increasing occurrence of piercing capability, as well as spatulas, antler ploughs and silex blades. Polychrome ceramics were first observed in the region within this climax of the Neolithic. The perimeter of the Black Sea represents an important series of colonies for the Ancient Greeks, and an early model for colonial mixing of literate invaders with indigenous pastoral nomads. The ecoregion, in fact, takes its name from Pontus Euxinus, which was the ancient Greek appellation for the Black Sea.
The ecoregion is deemed to have been the locus of original domestication of the horse, based upon DNA evidence. Correspondingly a portion of the Northern Silk Road traversed a portion of the Pontic steppe, leading to the earliest trans-Asia trade routes.
Current status
The Pontic steppe ecoregion has been given a conservation Status of Critical/Endangered; however it has not been assigned a G200 designation, meaning the World Wildlife Fund does not classify it as of the highest conservation priority viewed in a worldwide perspective.
Baillon's Crake (Porzana pusilla) Photograph by Paul Gale Types and severity of threats
A chief threat to the ecoregion is conversion of land for agricultural usage. During the Soviet period central planning functions led to poor management of much of the steppe, resulting in extensive loss of habitat and also to habitat fragmentation. Much of the steppe has been converted to wheat farming, a practice that was well established dating back to the era of Greek colonisation of the Black Sea northern coast.
Justification of Ecoregion Delineation
This ecoregion is equivalent to the DMEER (2000) unit of the same name. It comprises Bohn et al. (2000) lowland colline herb-rich grass steppes, herb-grass steppes, grass steppes, and desert steppes.

Hitler died 64 years ago, but his name — or at least his moustache — gets in the news so often you'd think the old monster was still kicking around.
Although he'd be 120, and so possibly incapable of the sort of evil that defined his life.
Probably you've noticed that Hitler has become a favorite, albeit a posthumous, tool of propagandists who endeavor to make their political foes look especially nasty, but who disdain devoting a lot of time to assembling a logical case to bolster their allegations.
These lazy molders of public opinion seem to have decided that it's a silly exercise to exhaust themselves with hours of tedious research when there's a perfectly good four-letter word available.
That word being "Nazi."
The current debate over President Obama's campaign to overhaul America's healthcare apparatus seems to me an egregious example of this simplistic and sordid technique.
Consider, for instance, people who oppose the president's proposal. Some have attended town hall meetings arranged by members of Congress and there brandished poster-size photos of the president to which someone with the artistic ability of a kindergartner added black ink to simulate Hitler's infamous, narrow-gauge moustache.
This is the intellectual equivalent of a toddler who pinches anybody who dares to touch her toys.
There is, to be fair, a basis for comparing Obama to Hitler. Both think the government should strive to ensure that people can go to the doctor when they get sick.
This is hardly a revolutionary notion.
I'm quite certain, though, that emphasizing how Obama and Hitler share certain humanitarian traits is not exactly what the town hall protesters are getting at.
You never hear, in any case, anyone suggesting that politicians ought to be "more like Hitler."
On the opposite side of the political spectrum, but on equally shaky ground, stand the likes of syndicated columnist Bill Press.
In a column published in Monday's Baker City Herald, Press not only accuses protesters of "taking a page right out of a Nazi playbook," he escalates the rhetoric by linking protesters to a killer whose butcher's bill surpasses even Hitler's. Press describes the anti-Obama campaign as "Stalinist-style."
Besides employing that pitiless "playbook" analogy — equating the Nazis with football seems to me a callous downplaying of their crimes — Press eviscerates his credibility with his clumsy attempt to portray, as one homogeneous cabal, people who believe all three of the following: 1) that NASA faked the moon landings; 2) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya; and 3) that the federal government is more likely to exacerbate the health insurance problem than to fix it.
"And now the same tea bagger/moonie/birther fringe element of the Republican Party is turning out to deny Americans health care reform," Press wrote.
You need to pay your internal editor more, Bill.
Millions of sane, sober Americans — people you'd trust to babysit your toddler — are at least a little bit leery about the idea of the federal government, which struggles to deliver the mail, hanging around hospitals, chatting up the doctors who wield scalpels on our brains and hearts and other relatively vital organs.
These people aren't all Republicans, either. Nor are they motivated by a desire to deny their fellow Americans anything.
I'm registered as an Independent, myself, and though I'm neither as frightened nor as angered by the various healthcare reform proposals as some protesters seem to be, I would appreciate hearing specific details rather than platitudes from the president and other proponents.
The "moonie" bit, though, is the most specious of Press' comparisons.
People who insist thta Neil Armstrong took his famous step on a Hollywood soundstage rather than on the lunar surface constitute such a minuscule minority that to conflate them with even a "fringe element" of the 55 million or so registered Republicans convinces me that Press is no more interested in a lucid debate than are the moustache-drawers.
I believe the town hall protests, in the main, represent the essential vigor of American democracy rather than symptoms of its decadence.
And because we are bombarded daily by such a cacophony of opinions, assembled from such a rich stew of sources, I'm confident that those citizens who want actual answers rather than slogans will readily detect the clear ring of truth amid the static generated by the shouters.
What I mean to say is that I trust average Americans. I am optimistic that they will in the end prevail over the zealots who seek to supplant sober discussion with the sort of banal character assassination epitomized by contrived comparisons between two mass murderers, and people who wonder how they're going to pay for antibiotics when their kid has an earache.
I think Mr. Obama sincerely believes that there is a role for government in the effort to make health insurance cheaper for everyone, and available to the 47 million Americans who don't have it.
The president probably has concluded, in fact, that this role is one for which government is uniquely suited.
I suspect he's right about that.
But I don't know what that role is, exactly; and it seems to me that neither Obama nor his fellow Democrats who control Congress has yet had a look at the polished script, either.
I suppose we'll hear a fair amount of yelling — and see a bunch more signs — before this conundrum is solved.
In the meantime I hope we can at least dispense with the nastiest of the name-calling and forego the most ridiculous of the phony associations.
Surely we're ready to finally let the moldy remains of dictators decay in the dank dungeons of distant memory.
When in the future we need acknowledge their existence I will be pleased if the references are richly endowed with the attitudes of derision and disgust which villains such as Hitler and Stalin so richly deserve.
This approach seems to me vastly more appropriate than our current practice of using them as weapons.
Politics is a sufficiently slimy business. We needn't befoul it further by rattling the desiccated bones of despicable tyrants whenever standard retorts such as "you're stupid" seem to lack a certain verve.

Owen Wright Defeats Kelly Slater To Win Inaugural Quiksilver Pro New York
Thanks to Hurricane Katia the first ever Quiksilver Pro New York wrapped up today in the best surf Long Beach has seen in months. 4-6 foot (face height) groomed walls rolled through all morning. Coupled with bright sunshine and a cloudless sky, the crowds shuffled to the beach en masse, packing the shoreline like sardines before the first quarterfinal even paddled out.
Standing amongst it all, struggling for a view of the action between thousands of mad surf fans, I settled in next to a large New Yorker decked head to toe in Jets gear. He told me he loved my Transworld SURF hat because it was his teams' favorite colors. Realizing he was right I immediately gave it to him. He was ecstatic.
"Hey man, thanks. This is great. I never seen surfing in Long Beach like this before. You get a look at that air Josh Kerr just did? That boost was 8 foot. Best thing I ever seen in New York, other than my Jets."
Judging from the amount of beach support today, it's apparent he's not the only over the moon local surf fan excited to have had the chance to witness a WT event in local waters. Well, the event and Kelly Slater. When the ten time champ pulled the ultimate hail mary with only minutes remaining against Taj Burrow in the semis – a full rotation slob grab air reverse, the cheers could be heard all the way to the city. It was uproar.
"I was really frustrated out there. I missed a couple of big rights, and was out of position for most of the heat. At the end Taj had priority and let me have that wave, and it was a closeout so I knew I had to throw the hail mary. I wasn't even thinking about the grab in the air I was just trying to hold on and was fortunate to make it."
On the other side of the morning draw Owen Wright went about beating Julian Wilson and Alejo Muniz to advance into the final against Kelly, a repeat of Tahiti from just over a week ago except in much tamer conditions. After Tahiti, Kelly called Owen "one of the best goofyfooter's on the planet." Judging from his recent success, that's a hard point to argue. Seems the champ has good foresight – he knows talent when he sees it.
Though it seemed a foregone conclusion Kelly would win this event, 4 minutes into the 35-minute duel Owen smashed back-to-back lefts for a 9 and 7, leaving Kelly way behind the eight ball. Though Slater clawed his way out of combo land, he snapped his 5-fin sled attempting a backside air with just minutes remaining, sealing his defeat and guaranteeing Owen the 300,000 dollar first place check – the largest in surfing history.
On the podium, Owen was shaking with excitement. "Thank you Long Beach, look at these waves! Thanks to Quiksilver for putting on this event, this is huge. We've been treated so well. And yeah, thanks to my family and friends and coach for working so hard all week, and…oh yeah, the 300,000 dollars! Thanks heaps, everyone."
With the win Owen is now an official World Title contender possessing the ability to beat Kelly Slater in all conditions. Game on! This could be one of the best ASP title finishes in years –Zander Morton

- Sen. Ted Cruz says GOP senators won't make same mistake in next fight
Sperling says the size of the increase is up to Congress. Asked if a two- or three-week extension would be out of the question for the White House, Sperling said, quote, "Longer is better for economic certainty and jobs, but it is ultimately up to them."
Sperling spoke at a breakfast Monday sponsored by Politico.
Sperling reiterated President Barack Obama's vow not to negotiate on the debt because it would sanction the threat of default as a bargaining chip and increase the chance of default in the future.

This has been around on the main page, but here's a forum post version of Worthing's new article:
Set 13: 2nd article
Hello again and greetings from the test realm. First I would like to say that everyone appreciates the feedback you give us on these articles (or maybe its just me). Alright so lets just cut to the cards since I promised I would show you something gamebreaking this week.....
Here they are! Four new summoning cards! One for each sphere that all have the same summon condition too!
Folrart Psycho Teleporter
Crest Shadowmage
Eastern Gear Soldier
Young Scholar
So Each card is level 1 with an open skill that allows you to summon 1 unit from your file to a random spot on the field but, the open skill costs 4sp and requires you have 4 in your sphere level. So basically its like getting what you want onto the field a turn sooner and a cool sacrificial unit. Each summoner has a cool skill that goes along with its theme also. I suppose I should also mention that they only summon non character units that are not multi-sphere either and must be exactly level 4. So now that I pretty much told you what they all do I think you should take a look at all the level 4 units on the card list to look at all the possible units you can do because I think the summoners are worth using in many files (volcano giant).
Alright so I am also going to go over another two cards in set 13. One that is very interesting and another that I am personally a fan of. Let's take a look at the interesting card first.
The 3* lawtia grimoire from this set, Visions of Horror, has a pretty cool skill and lets you use it early game or as a nice end game grimoire if you plan on having a lot of sphere levels you don't plan to be using anymore, say.... a guy like dalos or zugateroza. But anyway it will drop your sphere levels to 0 and if you have 6 or more spheres you get to send a unit of level 3 or lower to the cemetery. It will also lower your opponents spheres a bit. It has pretty good synergy with another rare card we will be releasing this set in the lawtia sphere as well. But so far my favorite way to use it is by playing Stronghold of chaos to get free spheres. Pretty interesting card overall though right?
I really like this next card for many reasons. First off its gowen and revives for free which I am always a fan of. It also has a pretty cool skill to help you out with a lot of mid level units too.
Her name is eastern assassin and yes she is an assassin and can fit with the lawtia assassins pretty well since Tierie, the 5* gowen card I talked about last week, is worth using with assassins as well. So assassins now have a unit that revives for free and can pinpoint and kill level 4 and 5 units with her skill which also kills herself but hey it can be worth it generally. She fits in nicely with a lot of other files that are gowen like mercenary nation or any generic low level gowen file. I think she has potential to be a core card in any gowen file but only time will tell!
That is all the cards I will be going over in this article but next week I will be going over our new tribe/faction that is quite interesting.

Comments On Aug 03, 2014:I thought this light would be pretty dim but its Awesome, went out for 8 hours last night doing a lot of trail riding and hillclimbing and it held up great, it does dim when i am idling, but not a whole lot, the switch didnt work very good at first it would switch its self back to low beam a lot but then it worked fine after about 10 minutes thought that was a little weird, but i would definitely recommend this light it works great
Was this review helpful?
Comments On May 06, 2014:But, it doesn't put out as much light as I would like. That and the low beam light bulb already burnt out. Other than that, it's great. Works well with the tusk dual sport kit. It puts out OK light it's fine for street riding and will get you off the trail after the sun sets. But you will not want to go trail riding at night.

Comments On Jan 12, 2014:I have a couple issues here. One is the screws supplied for hooking on the brake line tube slider bracket are rusting, and they were just barely long enough. Also the head light handle bar switches are junk and broke right away. I ended having to replace the switches with a different brand. I also had to replace the main bulb because it burnt out very quick too and was too dim. After replacing the bulb with a silverstar 50W, it is much brighter, but it was a pain to do the swap!

Comments On Jan 25, 2013:This light went on a Gas Gas 300, but again no listing for it. It works extremely well. RMATV went above and beyond on this one for me. Not only did they price match when I found it less expensive somewhere else, but they shipped it for free and put in the combo kill and light switch from trail tech.

Comments On Dec 02, 2011:Everything was as advertised, but the top lights' housing interferes with old style Ktm speedo(
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Sep 16, 2011:Put this on my 2005 crf 450x and it looks great as well as gives off good light at night, better than the stock. It was a bit tricky to figure out the wiring but I figured it out. Wish it would have came with a switch of some sort to go from hi beams to low. I ended up buying a toggle switch from the auto store but had a hard time mounting it.

Comments On May 20, 2011:Purchased light to use for Dual Sport rides. Serves for this function very well. Product is of high quality and interfaces with the existing KTM MXC wiring harness seamlessly. Easily installed and came with a quality handlebar switch assembly. Designed for the limited output from the stock charging/battery system. Performs very well at night.
