Agriculture & Food
Nothing is more basic to human well-being than having enough nutritious food to eat. Yet one in every eight people in the world — 842 million — are trapped in a cycle of hunger and poverty.
The reality is that most of the world doesn't have the benefit of picking up food from the corner store — they grow it themselves. Hunger is a crisis when disaster ruins the harvest. It is a cycle when families cannot grow or buy enough to lead healthy, productive lives, and when the effects of malnutrition are passed on to the next generation.
When food shortages occur due to drought and conflict, Mercy Corps helps prevent hunger and treat malnutrition in the most vulnerable — children, pregnant women, the elderly and the displaced. We distribute vouchers, cash or emergency rations, working with local suppliers to speed delivery, save money and boost local economies.
In addition to emergency responses, we focus on long-term solutions that build future food security.
Mercy Corps helps farmers manage their land, increase their harvests and diversify crops to produce a larger, more nutritious, and stable food supply. By teaching nutrition and hygiene, we ensure families can utilize their resources to boost their health. And we connect farmers with new markets and introduce more efficient methods of tending productive livestock and processing and storing crops to increase incomes for years to come.

Guatemala: "Broadcasting" important health and nutrition news in rural Guatemala

When you mention potatoes, most Americans would think "Idaho." Few would think the Kashmir Valley in the Himalaya Mountains. But Mercy Corps did. In 2010, Mercy Corps supported an experiment growing seed potatoes in the upper regions of the Kashmir Valley.

One of Guatemala's main staple foods is corn — in fact, Guatemalans sometimes even refer to themselves as "corn people." One of the traditional ways to consume corn here is in the form of tortillas.

Good luck with your project!
You have ruled out the truly fancy grills with your price range, but there are a lot of brands for $500 down to $150 with 4-5 burners.
What you want to do, because of the number of choices, if make a list of the characteristics you want, then go to a site that list a lot of them or lests you compare characterisitics, and maybe go to a few stores and look at them.
Then, after you have short-listed it down to maybe 5 or less, look for reviews. Angie's List does not review consumer products, but there are sites that do that, and of course Consumer Reports will have reviews (buy a subscription or go to your library).
Then, compare reviews and prices to decide. Remember to factor in shipping costs, if ordered.
Bear in mind the real economy ones may be made of "stainless", but you can bet most of the cheapest ones from Asia will start rusting fairly soon - if you want true quality "stainless" you are going to be in the mid to higher part of your price range.
If you decide on natural gas and do not currently have a grill using that, count in some plumber cost for a connection - from maybe $150-200 if close by the gas service in your house, can run to $500+ if you are goiing to be running pipe along the outside (or inside) of the house or basement to get to where you want the valve. Be sure to keep kids in mind - small kids love to open valves, so be sure to put it in a locked vented box if that is a concern. Ditto to plastic pipe (if allowed in your area) if you have chewing critters.
For a propane grill, bear in mind the cost of buying (or repeatedly renting) a couple of gas canisters and probably an extension hose.
When figuring where the grill will sit, ASSUME it will catch on fire some time - so for safety put it at least 10 feet from the house, and if the tank ever tips over and catches fire, 25 feet is the "safe" distance. Remember also, frequently using it within less than 20-25 feet will grease and smoke up the side of the house, making it slimy looking, and also requiring a lot more prep work before repainting.

One of my favorite things is a good musical and when I was a kid, I was obsessed with Disney's, movie musical, Newsies. I mean, I knew every. single. word. This past weekend, I finally saw the broadway version and it was lovely, despite some totally improbable plot twists. Of course, I came right back to the library and borrowed the cd from our collection. Now I can relive the entire experience through my headphones. I love our musical and soundtrack collections at KPL! Between our cd's and digital options like Freegal and Hoopla, we have so much great music to enjoy!
Just when it seems that we need some good news the most, this will warm your heart. Yesterday, NPR blogger Anastasia Tsioulcas caught my attention with a post about the Landfill Harmonic: An Orchestra Built from Trash. Through the efforts of a music instructor and a local craftsman, a group of hardworking kids in Paraguay have formed an orchestra using instruments made with materials gathered from beneath their very feet – literally.
The village of Cateura is a slum built on top of a landfill, where many of the locals make their living by collecting and reselling garbage. In a town where "a violin costs more than a house," a group of students have formed an orchestra and are learning to play music. Orchestra director Favio Chavez works with a local craftsman who fashions violins, violas, flutes, trumpets and guitars out of discarded trash; oil drums, tin cans, spoons, bottle caps, you name it. Now this might sound like the makings of a bad circus band (no offense against circus music) but the result is nothing short of breathtaking.
The group is currently documenting their work in a yet-to-be released film; a short trailer for it was posted a month ago on YouTube and has already collected nearly half-a-million views. The film opens with a quote from Chavez, saying "The world sends us garbage. We send back music." In addition to the video, the group has set up a Facebook page to help spread the word about the orchestra.
In a world where we generate a ton of solid waste per capita every fifteen months (and that's just in America) while school budgets get slashed beyond recognition, it's refreshing to see what can be accomplished if the will is there.
Here's an extended version of their story. It's fascinating, watch it…
I am a grown man in his thirties with no children and I can unabashedly say that my most anticipated pop culture event of 2011 is the forthcoming movie The Muppets. Both my wife and I were raised watching The Muppet Show, which aired from 1976 to 1981, and we developed a deep appreciation for creator Jim Henson's sense of humor, which managed to cater to both children and adults while remaining cheekily subversive. Other Muppets projects like Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, Muppet Babies, The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth were all enduring, but between the original TV show and the first three feature films (The Muppet Movie, The Great Muppet Caper and The Muppets Take Manhattan), our hearts belonged to Kermit and the gang.
But after the shocking death of Henson in 1990, quality control of the Muppet brand went downhill. Suddenly, the Muppets were being plugging into existing stories like A Christmas Carol, Treasure Island and The Wizard of Oz. These puppet-infused literary adaptations lacked true imagination and creativity—two things the Muppets themselves had long represented. Ownership of the Muppets changed hands a few times. During these dark days, it was most certainly not easy being green.
And then, sometime at the end of the 00s, a potential (and unlikely) savior emerged for the Muppets: a comic actor known for his goofy charm and often crude sense of humor named Jason Segel. The How I Met Your Mother star had just come off the success of the film Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Wanting to capitalize on his cachet, Hollywood suits approached him and asked what he wanted to do for his next project. And of all things, he said he wanted to make a Muppet movie. Turns out, Segel, too, grew up watching the variety show and missed the days when Kermit and Co. had been relevant and irreverent. Disney, who had purchased the brand, was more than happy to oblige. That film, loaded with guest stars and smart humor, opens November 23rd and will hopefully re-launch Henson's greatest creations back into the pop culture zeitgeist. I, for one, will be there opening day.
In the meantime, however, Disney has taken a step towards promoting the film by gathering together a group of alternative artists and producing Muppets: The Green Album. This collection puts a modern spin on some of the Muppets most beloved songs. Weezer and Paramore's Hayley Williams perform "The Rainbow Connection," alt-rock group The Fray pulls off the catchy "Mahna Mahna," and My Morning Jacket covers "Our World." Other artists featured are Andrew Bird ("Bein' Green"), Matt Nathanson ("I Hope that Something Better Comes Along") and The Airborne Toxic Event ("Wishing Song"). But the albums best songs belong to Alkaline Trio's fast-paced road song "Movin' Right Along," Sondre Lerche's groovy "Mr. Bassman" and the ever-inventive OK Go's cover of the "Muppet Show theme song." (Check out their video below.)
Green is great for nostalgic fans as well as being a fantastic introduction for a new generation of Muppet enthusiasts. I can only hope that Segel has succeeded in making the Fuzzy Ones witty and inventive again. Even though I still have over a month of anticipation before the movie comes out, this album is helping to get me through the wait.
Combining education and entertainment has always been a great way to learn; especially for young people. Grammy Award winning musicians They Might Be Giants have edutainment down to a science with the release of their 14th album, Here Comes Science. What better way to learn about topics such as photosynthesis, anatomy, outer space, chemistry and more than through great music. Young audio and visual learners will delight in this CD which also features a DVD filled with music videos. Check it out soon, and you too, will be humming the lyrics to the Bloodmobile!
Robert Schneider, of the super-awesome indie rock group The Apples in Stereo, is the mastermind behind the best kids CD of 2009, Robbert Bobbert and the Bubble Machine. Schneider's kid-friendly alter-ego, Professor Robbert Bobbert is a self-proclaimed "Genius inventor of musical mayhem." Fans of Schneider's work will love this CD because they will immediately hear the hooks and harmonies that make The Apples in Stereo great. The end result of this power pop infused kids' CD is a car trip that won't turn your brain into elephant droppings.
The stand out track "We R Super Heroes" is about the dream most kids have about being a super hero. Check out the video.
The Malian duo Amadou & Mariam have been in nearly constant rotation on my ipod and home stereo since I became aware of their music with the 2005 release of Dimanche a Bamako. I knew little of the couple's inspiring story then, but responded immediately to the music they create. Singer Mariam Doumbia and guitarist/vocalist Amadou Bagayokothan, who are both blind, met at the Institute for Young Blind People in Bamako, the capital of Mali, 30 years ago and have been making amazing and infectious music ever since. Already huge stars in West Africa and Europe; in recent years Amadou & Mariam have gained a large following in the indie rock world where they have become a show stealing staple at large festivals, which has helped spread their popularity across the glode. The duo's latest title, Welcome to Mali, has received almost universal, and I would say very well deserved, critical acclaim and I can't stop listening to it. Even without the faintest clue as to what the lyrics of the songs are saying (the couple sings primarily in French), it is easy to hear why the global spread of Amadou & Mariam's hypnotic sound cannot be stopped.
There are many great songs to help little ones learn the ABC's, but none will stick with you quite the same as Alphabutt; the title track of Kimya Dawson's new alternative CD for children. My children and I laughed all weekend, and I can't stop humming it now…A is for Apple, B is for Butt! Each track brings humor to the early parenting stages, that may seem difficult to endure at the time, but humorous in the end. We all need to pause, sing and laugh about such topics as: paying off our student loans, wiggling loose teeth, using the potty, being pregnant and waiting anxiously for the baby to move, nursing, and possibly having seven hungry tigers in our underwear drawer. Give this CD a listen, if for nothing else, than to make yourself giggle!
Since becoming a parent, I've paid a lot more attention to the latest kids' music CDs. There are a lot of choices - and sometimes, it seems as if the CDs are aimed as much at the aging, hipster doofus parents as at their offspring. One way kids' music artists appeal to parents' tastes is to release lullaby versions of songs they know and love. The idea isn't new - I remember seeing "Beatles for Babies" records decades ago - but the trend has grown.
Recently, power-pop cult figure Jason Falkner (ex-Jellyfish, Grays) released Bedtime with the Beatles Part Two. A gifted vocalist, he offers humming only on "Hey Jude", concentrating instead on instrumental versions of Fab Four faves, awash in his multi-tracked keyboard arrangements which nod to psychedelia while carrying children (and tired parents) off to dreamland.
While I'd sing most of these classics to my wee one, tunes like "Norwegian Wood" and "She's Leaving Home" are best left as instrumentals - I don't need questions about sleeping in the bath or runaways treating mums so thoughtlessly. Still, these are far from the most questionable kids' versions of songs out there - I can't decide which is the bigger head-scratcher, "December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" (on Jersey Babys: the Music of Frankie Valli & the 4 Seasons for Kids), or the Trent Reznor-penned "Hurt" (on Baby Love Lullaby: Lullaby Versions of Johnny Cash). Seriously - "everyone I know goes away in the end"? Night night, sweetie!

Uncyclopedia Health Service
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Welcome to the Uncyclopedia Health Service, a nurse won't be with you shortly.
Here at the UHS we are committed to giving.. um.. getting.. er.. doing.. good.. yeah.. er.. stuff.. ah- have some more tic tacs- I mean Aspirin.
7th January, 2008
The bodies found in the aged care ward were dead before they entered the ward, despite what the Health Department says.
4th January, 2008
After expensive studies lasting many years, and millions of hours work we have discovered that the pie does contain meat. Sadly in completely unrelated news the cancer ward will be forced to close due to lack of funds.
2nd January, 2008
20 something doctor w/ chiseled good looks and distant stare seeking nurse/patient for fun time, possibly commitment.
31st December, 2007
UHS leading the way in fight against 'super bug' - Surgery room expected to be free of cockroaches by 2009.
27th December, 2007
Christmas 2007 sees 50% less Turkey related injuries than last year.
23rd December, 2007
Amoebic meningitis alert! If anyone knows what it is, please see Dr. Vorless ASAP
Here at UHS we know that the best cure is understanding, despite what the text-books say. We know you'd much rather have an attractive, well endowed doctor/nurse lean over you and pretend to check your heart beat than have life saving surgery to remove that damn lump on your back. So we think it is most important that you know a bit about the people who work here; from the illegal Mexican cleaners to the nicotine addicted midwives. This month we are profiling the mysterious Evil professor/obstetrician, Dr Moriati. Yes ladies he's single and has a thing for neck bolts.
Age: 49
Any partners? There was a zombie once.. but things just didn't work out. There is Igor, but I'd call that more a Crazy scientist - brainless slave kind of relationship.
Hobbies? Making hideous monsters, plotting to take over the world, topiary classes... nothing really.
Why did you join UHS? The hospital is a great place to gather pieces for my latest projects, plus all those huge electro-magnetic machines turn me on.
Previous jobs? Well I was head Professor at Harvard until I was thrown out for creating a 50-foot-tall robot. Don't spend the budget on that crazy robot, they said. Stop crushing Philadelphia, they said. Well I will get my revenge!!
Yeah, it was fine.
Do you enjoy working for the UHS? Yes, birthing babies is almost as good as creating life out of body parts. I get a real rush from shouting "Look at what I have created!!!" every time a baby is born.
What will you do when you retire? I don't really know.. um.. make a few death rays, move to Florida... I'm getting my pension payed out in corpses so I'll figure something out.
Here at the UHS we are committed to making your stay as enjoyable as possible, our innovations department [1] is constantly devising ways for you to make the best of your stay[2].
Hosptl Qwik
Are you just too busy to get that tumor removed? Got to finish those accounts no matter what? Well we are proud to announce our special service for the modern working type. With DIY heart surgery podcasts and no-fuss SMS diagnosis - ur sik w/genitl wrts, may hv 2 amput8 - this is just perfect for those just too busy to care about their health!
Every pensioner should have detailed information about how the UHS works[3] – not least because a senior's topics of conversation typically revolve around appalling medical conditions, and how many of their friends have recently died just to spite them.
Indeed, when not holidaying in dismal seaside towns or helping out at the equally dismal local charity shop, most seniors enjoy nothing better than a cheery day in a hospital discussing their rheumatoid arthritis and rare bowel movements with a complete stranger, shortly followed by a consultation with the doctor.
That is why, along with extending the pensioners ward, UHS will provide a dummy next to every bed so the old dears can complain about their imploded bowel to their hearts content. That is just how much we care.
Here at the UHS we are already criminally overcrowded so we don't need you coming in here with a small complaint like a runny nose or chest pains. That is why, along with several eminent MIT professors, we have compiled a list of simple medical conditions that you may be suffering from.
Are you suffering from cold sweats?
No (go to 2) / Yes (go to 3)
You are Dead, plenty of sleep should cure this. Soon you will be feeling as alive as ever.
Are you currently looking at a person of the same gender?
Yes (go to 4) / No (go to 5)
You are suffering from Homosexuality, a few millennia in the depths of hell should cure this... or a large donation to the Church of Saint Phelps.
Have you recently joined the Church of Scientology?
Yes (go to 6) / No (go to 7)
You are suffering from Gullibility, giving your PIN number to this kind Nigerian princess should help.
Do you feel the Iraq war was unjustified?
Yes (go to 12) / No (go to 13)
You are suffering from Liberal Bias, a disease affecting much of the world's media. Strangely it is only recognized as a disease in FOX'S Anatomy.
Do you feel the uncontrollable urge to add "ARR!" to the beginning of every sentence?
Yes (go to 14) / No (go to 15)
You are suffering from Scurvy. Don't worry the desire for treasure and unnatural fixation on eye patches and talking parrots is completely normal
Oh god, you actually are sick. You better get to a hospital... wait this is a h- Hot dog, Hot dog, we sell the Hot dog! Sorry, no speak Inglish!

Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Paul Ryan pull up a couple of chairs for a vice presidential debate that has mushroomed in importance since Mitt Romney's strong showing in the first presidential faceoff.
This time, it's the Obama team looking to put the brakes on the other guy's momentum.
The veep showdown Thursday night at Centre College in Danville, Ky., matches up two skilled politicians with strong policy credentials and very different styles.
It's 69-year-old Biden's solid vice presidential portfolio vs. 42-year-old Ryan's intensity and extensive knowledge of the federal budget and economy from 14 years in Congress.
Romney and Obama themselves meet up again Tuesday.

Sometime during the twentieth century, America became obsessively fascinated with studying the human mind, and institutions for the mentally and physically disabled began to pop up all over the land. This created a secondary location for individuals suffering from mental disorders. Rather than go to a psychiatric asylum, they could pursue help from a professionally staffed school dedicated to their needs.
Seeing the success of these institutions in Massachusetts and Connecticut, Rhode Island decided to build their own in the town of Exeter. The Rhode Island School for the Feeble Minded, also known as The Exeter School or The Ladd Center, was founded in 1907. Originally, it was a farm colony, where its residents would work and learn.
In 1909, with the growth of the resident population, a girls-only dormitory was erected. This success led to attention from various medical groups, who criticized the school for labeling its patients as feeble minded. In 1917, the schools name was officially changed to The Exeter School.
The resident population continued to grow, yet the financial backing could not keep up. The school became overcrowded, underfunded, and the buildings began to deteriorate; however, the state continued to dump its unwanted citizens into the school, hoping they would get help, disappear, or simply cease to be a problem.
During the 1950s, rumors spread into mainstream media that The Exeter School was abusing and neglecting its students. In addition, there was one case of suspected murder brought upon the school, drawing even more attention to the institution and its students.
Somewhere in the 1960s, the facility was renamed once again to the Ladd Center after the schools first superintendent, Dr. Joseph Ladd. During this time, the school had well over 1,000 patients and no way to properly care for all of them.
Finally, in the 1970s, the school received enough attention to mark the start of its decline. Various organizations and groups rallied to have the students moved to other places that could properly care for the students and give them the attention they need.
The last student removed from the Ladd Center was on March 25th, 1994.
Here is a mini documentary covering The Rhode Island School for the Feeble Minded:

A recount may be required to decide the who will represent District M on the Regional Transportation District board of directors.
A 115-vote gap between challenger Natalie Menten and incumbent Matt Cohen falls within the statutory requirements of a recount, said Jefferson County elections deputy Josh Liss.
Some ballots still need to be counted, however, before election results are certified by Nov. 23. If 155 or fewer votes still separate Menten and Cohen, a retabulation will commence, Liss said.
Ballots mailed from overseas and from military personnel still need to be counted, as do mail ballots with no signature on the return envelope or with signatures that don't match county records, Liss said.
The final vote tally from Tuesday, shows Menten collecting 31,152 votes to Cohen's 31, 037. The threshold for a recount in their race is 155 votes, Liss said.
In another close race, Paul Solano looks to have won won the District K seat on the RTD board. Solano defeated Jan Pawlowski by 166 votes — 16,949-to-16,783.

aden + anais Jungle Jam Swaddle Wrap 2-Pack in Monkey & Giraffe by aden and anais
100% natural and super cute, these muslin swaddling wraps are sure to help your baby have a long and peaceful rest. With its high breathability and generous size, the aden + anais swaddle wrap may also be used as a stroller cover, nursing shield, changing table cover or portable crib sheet! And best of all, multiple washes are encouraged--the more you wash these swaddling blankets, the softer they become!
Swaddling, a worldwide, centuries-old tradition, has a natural ability to recreate the warm and cozy feeling of the womb, due to the self regulating properties and gentle feel of the 100% cotton muslin. This finely-woven, breathable fabric is durable, stretchy, and ideal for creating a comfortable swaddling wrap for your baby. Used by ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman societies, this fabric has stood the test of time with its ever-increasing softness and strength and remains forever trusted by those who use it to warm, protect, and comfort their precious little ones.
aden + anais, a company born out of necessity, began producing high-quality muslin swaddling cloths when owner Raegan Moya-Jones moved to the U.S. from Australia and could not find the nice muslin swaddling cloths she so fondly remembered. Today aden + anais has continued this long tradition of swaddling and shaped it with fashion-forward style and fun prints for babies. Even the fussiest of babies will seem to sleep better once swaddled in this amazing line of muslin products.

Intrigued by New
York Magazine art critic Jerry Salz's investigation and public condemnation of the percentage of women artists found in the Museum of Modern
Art's Permanent Collection, I decided to look to my own backyard and
see what I could find.
At the Boca
Raton Museum of Art - according to my own quick and dirty survey - we have 16% women artists represented in our Permanent
Collection galleries' Modern Art areas. That equals around 29 women artists to 175 men. I am somewhat happy that we have "out-suffraged"
the MOMA, (4 percent or 19 out of 383)
but 16 percent is still relatively low.
I will
concede right at the outset that we grow our collection through donations and
we do not actively buy at auction on a regular basis by any means. Further, when speaking only of permanent
collection exhibits, we have dedicated an exhibition to women (The Other Half: Women Artists in the Collection
2005) and recently acquired on loan a very large Nancy Graves wall
sculpture that passionately announces its femininity in our Abstract Art
gallery. If you have not yet seen Canoptic
Legerdemain please visit our East Wing gallery on the second floor. The vast difference between it and the work by
the male abstract artists on display is amazing.
Still, more must be done to promote women in the arts. Mr. Salz puts it quite succinctly when he
says in his letter to Ann Temkin, Curator of Painting and Sculpture at the
To those who have
complained that installing the work of women will mean too much so-called "lesser" work will be on view. You can't develop what Oscar Wilde called "the
critical spirit" if you're mainly seeing the story as it has always been told.
Seeing only what's already been seen doesn't tell you how good or bad this work
may be. As André Malraux wrote, 'We can feel only by comparison. The Greek
genius is better understood by comparing a Greek statue to an Egyptian or
Asiatic one than by acquaintance with a hundred Greek statues'...The point is,
when it comes to being artists, women can be as bad as men. The problem is that
even now, decades after the onset of women's liberation, women aren't being
allowed to demonstrate this. I doubt that there's a conscious effort to keep
women from showing, yet the percentage of women exhibiting in museum PERMANENT
COLLECTIONS is grievously low.
We, of course,
- just as with the majority of Museums - seem to reflect this stagnant attitude
towards re-writing women into the history of art. As part of the Curatorial
department, all that I can say is that in my experience thus far (starting
October 2009) when installing new work into the permanent collection galleries,
there is very often discussion of actively searching out women artists to be
It makes me
proud to know that this is a subject that is considered more often than not. Of course, we cannot simply take down all the eminent
male artists on display and replace them with lesser-known women artists. Instead,
we use the gradual build approach. We actively insert more and more women artists
into our galleries in order to familiarize and teach the public about their
role in history while still supplying the community with the recognizable male
artists that they have come to appreciate over the years.
conversation about the male to female ratio of artists exhibited in museums has
been taking place for a long time. I hope it will continue to be a topic of
conversation and shape our understanding of the "canon" of art history for
years to come. This fluidity and opportunity for growth and changes in
understanding is what truly excites me about the study of art.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) -- Sunday was a good day to own a Washington-area restaurant with big screen televisions.
Just ask Scott Magnuson of the Argonaut restaurant in Northeast Washington, one of countless places in the Washington-area where sports fans gathered to watch the Ravens and Redskins football games, and the Orioles and Nationals playoff baseball games.
For a few dozen bars and restaurants in the district, Sunday was a big day not just because of all the games that were on television, but because it was the first day that they could stay open until four in the morning the day before Columbus Day, as well as Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
The Argonaut was one of 42 establishments that applied for, and were given, licenses to stay open until four in the morning. Scott Magnuson says it could be very good for business.
"I think DC is getting younger and hipper, so I think people are out later now. Whether it's going to be good, I don't know, I don't think anybody knows at this point," Magnuson said.
What will also certainly be good for Magnuson's business is if the Nationals keep winning, and the Redskins start winning once again.

Fueling Your Little Athlete
Mar 22nd
Posted by Administrator in Tips
All too often, we complain about how inactive this generation has become. With all the technological options keeping so many occupied, it's refreshing to still see so many kids at the local baseball field, hockey rink, gymnasium or swimming pool. These parents have done a great thing by keeping their kids active!
Right after sign ups, parents scramble around for the proper equipment… which, of course is necessary to keep them safe. So, we've addressed the outside… let's work to get the inside healthy! It's a well known fact that athletes require a special diet to fuel their activity. Much like More >

Manitoba — 'the have-not province?'
Re: "It's Craps On A Casino" from Jan. 26 Brandon Sun. Enjoyed your column, James O'Connor. Manitoba has so often been referred to ... well ... as a "have-not province" and on the welfare take from Ottawa. So how come all these casinos/gambling establishments are in the plans and making news? It seems there is money aplenty to support the gambling establishments. Oh, I try to understand, politicians don't want people to head out of province to spend their hard-earned savings in Saskatchewan or across into the U.S. border towns. As good Manitoba citizens who enjoy that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, in high hopes to hit the elusive jackpot, they should make their donations and give back to the province. The big question is will this in any way, shape or form make any difference in the final analysis of Manitoba being or not being a "have-not province?"

The government in Serengeti district, Mara region, has been urged to intervene and find a solution to conflicts between livestock keepers from the villages of Bisaraba, Bunchugu and Nyambikili based in Sedeco ward on the one hand and Tanzania National Parks (TANAPA - Serengeti) on the other.
Tanapa also looks after Ikorongo Forest Reserve where livestock keepers complain of being harrassed by Tanapa rangers.
Ward councillor Richard Nyatera made the request when speaking to journalists who were touring the area to study challenges facing the people in the ward.
According to the councillor, the conflicts have lasted for quite a long time, saying they were being harrassed by Tanapa rangers whenever their livestock strayed into Serengeti or Ikorongo areas.
He said a head of cattle is fined between 20,000/- and 100,000/-, adding that sometimes they were not issued with receipts for the fines. "All the cattle they impound are kept in one pen, sometimes they die due to overcrowding," said the councillor.
He said further that it was surprising that whenever livestock keepers were arrested for their straying animals they were taken to Bunda District Police Station and charged there while Serengeti district has its own police stations and courts.
For his part, Serengeti legislator Dr Stephen Kabwe said there was a policy of good neighbourliness between national park authorities and the surrounding villages, saying this should be the starting point to find lasting solutions.
Serengeti District Commissioner Edward Ole Lenga, for his part, said over the phone that he could not comment on the matter because he was outside the district, but pledged to make a follow-up when he returned.
Serengeti chief conservator Mtango Mtahiko said that he would follow up on the matter, adding however that there was no question of bad luck when livestock strayed into the park or forest reserve.

UPDATE: Dec. 3, 2013, 9:18 p.m. 12/1/2013:
Loudoun County Animal Services says none of the animals left skinned and under a bridge last month was domesticated. For example, none was a dog – they were all wildlife.
The investigation is closed by Loudoun County Animal Services. However, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries will continue its investigation.
In total, 78 animal carcasses were found.
EARLIER: Nov. 23, 2013 5:19 p.m.
WASHINGTON – A man made a grisly discovery in Catoctin Creek this week – dozens of dead, skinned animals piled under a bridge.
NBC4 first reported that construction worker Dave Daley, who was working nearby, found two piles of animals under a single-lane bridge off Featherbed Lane in Lovettsville earlier this week. One pile contained what appeared to be 27 small animals, possibly dogs; the other, mostly deer and livestock. He called Loudoun County Animal Services.
"I'd like to see somebody prosecuted because somebody's clearly doing something wrong," Daley says.
Loudoun County Animal Services says it received a complaint of the skinned, carcases Tuesday. Based on initial necropsy results, only one of the carcases was a dog. And an animal cruelty investigation is underway.
The remainder of the animals were determined to be wildlife including racoons and foxes.
Both the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and the Health Department were contacted. And a Virginia Department of Environmental Quality staffer visited the site Saturday morning to make arrangements to clean up and remove the animal remains.

The new year could bring higher rent for apartment dwellers. A new study by the Association of Realtors predicts rental rates for apartments will increase nationwide in 2013. The new study says apartment rents are expected to go up nearly 5% nationwide. Which would increase a $700 monthly rent by about $35.
"If it goes up a couple of pennies here and there that's fine. but if it jumps like 20, 30 cents on the dollar, then that's ridiculous because then you start to question: where is the money going?" said Greenville renter Stanley Robinson.
The predicted increase is less than 5% or 5 cents on the dollar.
Property managers we spoke with remind renters if you are locked into a lease, your rent rates shouldn't increase until that lease ends.

Seminar on the Royal Foundations at the Royal Palace of Stockholm

On Monday 21 January, the seminar "Good ideas for a better world: A dialogue on the Royal Foundations" was held in the Bernadotte Library.
Director Jan Lindman opened the seminar by welcoming those present and explaining the background to the seminar. The aim of the seminar was to give a greater insight into the Royal Foundations and to attract more applicants.
Mr Lindman gave a brief overview of the five areas within which the foundations work: research, charity work, care and young people, culture and education. Each year, around 170 million kronor is awarded in grants and scholarships.
Lene Friis Möller, a researcher at the University of Gothenburg's
Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences
, then gave the seminar participants an insight into a research project studying the impact of the warty comb jellyfish on marine ecosystems. The project has been made possible largely through support from the King Carl XVI Gustaf 50th Anniversary Fund for Science, Technology and the Environment.
Marika Markovits, Director of Stockholm City Mission, then spoke about her work as a member of the board of the Prince Gustaf Adolf and Princess Sibylla Memorial Fund.
Per Sandin, Senior Curator at
the Royal Armoury
and author of the doctoral thesis "A royal court in time: The Bernadotte Dynasty's encounters with civil society c. 1810-1860", spoke about royal philanthropy through the ages.
The King concluded the day's seminar by giving a speech in which he highlighted the importance of all the initiators and donors. He also thanked all those who are actively involved in the work relating to the Royal Foundations. The King emphasised that the entire Royal Family is aware of this inspiring commitment, and that they take a personal and close interest in the work of the Royal Foundations.

Weidel on Wheels: Pair of Mazdas offer a little bit of fun behind the wheel
By: Jeffrey Weidel
Understanding that the decision to buy a car often is reduced to its simplest terms, Mazda has a couple of appealing choices in its 2010 lineup that deliver a basic ingredient — fun. What's more fun than lowering the top and cruising around town on a stress-free weekend? Exactly. That's why the Mazda MX-5 convertible (the Miata name was dropped several years ago) is still a great choice for drivers seeking some excitement behind the wheel. Although not as pleasure-inducing, the Mazda 6 is another affordable choice that features some fun-to-drive characteristics. The Japanese automaker did away with the stodgy wagon and hatchback versions of the Mazda 6 in a redesign last year and what's left is a stylish, more sophisticated sedan. Below is a breakdown of both vehicles. 2010 Mazda MX-5 Now in its third generation since debuting in 1989, this appealing convertible still sticks to the basics, providing a small, lightweight car that meets many people's budgetary needs. The Touring Plus model goes for $26,410, but the base model slips in at just under $23,000. The power-folding hardtop takes only a push of the button and even the manual folding hardtop can get one into convertible mode quickly. And speaking of quick, the six-speed manual transmission provides plenty of pep with its 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine and 167 horsepower, which has it capable of going 0 to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds while also getting 21 to 30 miles per gallon. Nothing has changed in the overall handling of the MX-5. Its steering is precision-like and the car goes around corners with an assuredness that will leave drivers smiling due to its great handling capability. The former Miata is still considered one of the top affordable roadsters ever. Of course, there are drawbacks to most convertibles and the MX-5 is no exception. Most adults can expect a snug fit in this two-seat cockpit. And the storage space is limited for even the most basic incidentals. Even weekend getaways can be challenging due to the diminutive 5.3 cubic feet of trunk space. Having the top down is naturally the way to go, but there are some drawbacks. The Mazda-5 has a fair amount of wind noise in convertible mode and even with the optional seven-speaker Bose audio system the music can be difficult to hear, especially at lower levels. 2010 Mazda 6 Interior room is not a problem with this front-wheel drive sedan. In fact, the Mazda 6 offers one of the largest cabins and trunk space (16.6 cubic feet) in the mid-size class. Redesigned a year ago, the cockpit was modernized and now features a sensible control panel and a center console with many storage options. The red backlit gauges are a great addition as well. Available in seven trims, the Mazda 6 now features a long hood, an attractive flared front fender, and also made positive changes in the headlamps and front bumper design. The result was a sporty sedan that surprisingly is being offered at reduced prices this year in some trim models. Not all car shoppers will be happy with the standard engine, a 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder that produces 170 horsepower. It's a bit tepid, going only 0 to 60 mph in 9.1 seconds. Yet the upside is the Mazda 6 gets good gas mileage at 21 to 30 mpg. While not as precision handling as some of its more notable competition, the Mazda 6 can be counted on for its reliable feel of the road. The steering is responsive, the braking is strong and this sedan can corner with assurance. __________ 2010 Mazda MX-5 Grand Touring Price: Starting at $26,410 Mileage estimate: From 22 mpg city to 28 mpg highway Power: 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder engine with 167 horsepower Standard features include: Stability control; antilock disc brakes; power windows and mirrors; keyless entry; automatic climate control; leather upholstery; heated seats; a seven-speaker Bose audio system, Bluetooth and satellite radio; leather-wrapped steering wheel 2010 Mazda 6 Touring Plus Price: Starting at $23,750 Mileage estimate: From 21 mpg city to 30 mpg highway Power: 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine with 170 horsepower Standard features include: Height-adjustable driver seat; tilt-telescoping steering wheel; six-speaker CD/MP3 stereo system with auxiliary audio jack; antilock disc brakes; stability and traction control; power moonroof; eight-way power driver's seat; blind-spot monitoring system

Filmed before a live audience on April 18, 2002, renowned author Gore Vidal rejects the blind patriotism expected by government officials and the mainstream media, and investigates U.S. foreign policy throughout recent history, showing how it has contributed to the terrorist crisis.
