Your teeth can become stained even if you have a regular regime of brushing and flossing. Genetics can influence the base color of your teeth. Some people simply have darker teeth than others to begin with. As you age, your teeth may become darker or discolored. Teeth can also be affected by certain prescription medications and smoking.
On a daily basis, certain food and drink may lead to staining. Red wine, coffee and tea are known to color teeth over time. These stains seep below the enamel to darken the teeth. You cannot remove them with brushing and flossing alone as this only removes surface staining. In order to be effective, whitening products must work below the enamel to lighten the dentin at the core of the teeth.
GoSMILE whitening products contain peroxide, which has been proven to lighten the teeth inside and out without damaging the protective enamel surface. From simple solutions, such as whitening toothpastes to technologically advanced light systems, GoSMILE has a treatment to suit your teeth.
The GoSMILE range is based on proven formulations and cutting edge delivery systems that have been developed by a team of talented dental advisors, scientists and biomedical engineers. Active ingredients have been extensively tested to ensure that they deliver consistently stunning results. But there is nothing boring about GoSMILE treatments, which are a delight to use.
GoSMILE has won a range of beauty accolades from publications aimed at both men and women, including the Men's Health Grooming Awards and the Redbook Beauty Awards.

|Churchwell student teaches at HES
|Written by April Peregoy
This semester, Holyoke Elementary School has welcomed student teacher Nicole Churchwell into Lynn Schneider's third grade classroom.
Churchwell is an elementary education major at Colorado Christian University, and plans to graduate with her teaching degree in May.
"I love it," she said about student teaching. "The students are wonderful. Although, I've been amazed at all the work and the hours that go into teaching."
Churchwell has lived in Holyoke for nine years and was a cosmetologist until her oldest son was born. She and her husband David, who works at Highline Electric, have two children in elementary, Zachary who's in fourth grade and Ashlyn in second, and a third, Braxten, who is 2.
After she started having children, Churchwell continued to do some freelance cosmetology from home. She also started volunteering at HES, which is how she became interested in teaching.
"I saw students who were struggling and I wanted to do something to help them," she said.
To get her degree, she began taking online classes at Northeastern Junior College in Sterling. She then took all her core education classes on campus at Colorado Christian.
Churchwell admitted juggling school and a family isn't easy. "It was stressful and very busy," she said. "I would recommend to others that they go to school before having a family."
After only four years in school, however, her hard work is about to pay off. Then she hopes to have more time to chase after her family through all their extracurricular activities.
As for other future plans, Churchwell said she wants to pursue her teaching career in Holyoke.
"I really like it here," she said. "I think Holyoke has a great school and staff."

The IUCN Social Policy Unit works to deliver conservation and sustainable management of biodiversity and natural resources from the global to local levels. Under this agenda, one of its priority areas of work is to manage nature for human well-being and promote an understanding that conservation and livelihoods are inextricably linked.
This Unit's "Improving Natural Resource Governance for Rural Poverty Reduction" project is financed by UKaid from the Department for International Development's Governance and Transparency Fund (DFID's GTF) and aims to enable better environmental governance including fair and equitable access to natural resources, new benefit-sharing arrangements, and more participative and transparent decision-making processes. This project involves a portfolio of 10 projects in Africa (3), Asia (3), South America (1), West Asia (1), with one cross-cutting component on protected area management and one coordinating component based at IUCN Headquarters in Switzerland. It has a specific focus on improving governance of natural resources for the benefit of the rural poor by:
- Building capacities of community-based organizations, civil society and government actors from local to national levels to engage in and governance processes
- Strengthening opening dialogue between local, stakeholders and organizations
- Increasing participation of all stakeholders in democratic and transparent decision making for effective and accountable governance of natural resources
- Developing opportunities for improved income generation and livelihood arrangements, focusing on indigenous peoples, ethnic minorities and women
- Helping to preserve traditional systems of resource tenure that secure livelihoods and contribute to nature conservation
- Expanding an understanding of human well-being by developing culturally based indicators.
- Promoting policy improvement from the local to global level and working with other major conservation organizations to integrate human rights and governance issues into global conservation activities.
This project advocates for legal, policy and institutional changes that can serve to promote recognition and respect for the rights of poor and marginalised natural resource dependent people. By empowering communities to hold officials, state agencies and local institutions to account and take responsibility for their own natural resource management, IUCN believes that its work will help secure livelihoods and bridge the institutional gap between conservation and human-well being.
Project Achievements
In Bangladesh, multi-stakeholder platforms have brought together community members and local government officials. This has provided poor and excluded sectors of society with a real voice in local decision-making. As a result, government officials have become more accountable and responsive. Examples of the achievements are: (i) the exploitative leasing system in haor (perennial wetland system) areas controlled by powerful elites is gradually being replaced by 'co-management'; and (ii) communities in the Chandpur district have been able to obtain an increase in the compensation that poor fishermen receive during the lean season –time when fishing is banned- from 500 to 5,000 Bangladeshi taka per person (approximately from 5 to 50 GBP).
In Nepal, the programme addressed the community governance of a watershed and helped advocate for the integration of environmental rights and benefit-sharing mechanisms into the new constitution. A watershed conservation plan for Sardu watershed was developed and a functioning multistakeholder platform for the watershed was set up. These actions have helped solve conflicts between upstream and downstream communities and increased access to clean drinking water for approximately 11,800 people in Dharan municipality as well as neighbouring communities. Through training, advocacy and awareness raising with national Constituent Assembly members, recognition of access and benefit sharing, environmental rights and natural resources governance have been inserted in the draft version of the new constitution. For the Nepal's approximately 20 million rural inhabitants who depend on natural resources for their livelihoods, these changes in the Constitution will increase their access to these resources, promote sustainable development and foster new income opportunities.
In post conflict Sri Lanka, three multi-stakeholder platforms have enabled thousands of poor people to have voice in policy making processes that affect their lives. An example of the important policy changes generated is the recognition and gazetting of the Puttalam Lagoon Fisheries Management Area under the Fisheries Management Act, which entails regulations that support community management. Community based fisheries organizations of Periyakalapuwa have been legally recognized as management agents.
In Lebanon, actions by our partner led to community based traditional natural resources governance systems known as himas being legally approved in three villages in Upper Akkar/Hermel region. To support sustainable development and safeguard extraordinary biodiversity including that of Karm Chbat National Reserve, the Draft Master Plan for Upper Akkar/Hermel was produced with active participation of local people. In response to local demands, this plan includes a focus on ecotourism - a sustainable alternative for increasing income for Bedouin families in this extremely poor area of Lebanon. The plan also aims to help turn Karm Chbat National Reserve from a paper park that excluded local people into a community managed area rooted in the hima approach.
Over the next year, IUCN will continue to work with partners in Kenya, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka to strengthen natural resource governance and rights, to support poor people's access to natural resources and to help secure more equitable livelihoods.

File:GISP2 Ice Core.jpg
From Global Warming Art
This photograph shows a 1 meter section of the GISP2 ice core from a depth of 1837 meters in the Greenland Ice Sheet. Annual layers are clearly visible in this image. The appearance of layers results from differences in the size of snow crystals deposited in winter versus summer and resulting variations in the abundance and size of air bubbles trapped in the ice. Counting such layers has been used (in combination with other techniques) to reliably determine the age of the ice (Meese et al. 1997). This ice was formed ~16250 years ago during the final stages of the last ice age and approximately 38 years are represented here. By analyzing the ice and the gases trapped within, scientists are able learn about past climate conditions.
This image was produced at the National Ice Core Laboratory by employees of the USGS with funding from the NSF, and consequently is in the public domain.
It was kindly provided by Eric Cravens, Assistant Curator, National Ice Core Laboratory.

Hello there ya olde map crafters,
We are in the early phases of creating our indie turn based rpg game! We are getting ready to finish with the game engine, and slowly adding various assets (music, sound, pixel art, concept art).
It is going to be a mature and gritty rpg game that also incorporates some survival mechanisms (hunting, fishing, thirst, hunger, disease, injury).
A big portion of the game will be traveling on the world map and discovering new locations, ala Fallout 1-2 and Arcanum. Your beautiful map will be a must for a cool exploration feel.
We are looking for a world map, with 4 types of Forests, Plains, Mountains, Rivers/Lakes (each type of terrain will have its own traveling speed and random encounters). We will later add cities and random permanent locations after the map is created. Map could be either black and white or color, Looking to get anywhere between 3000 * 3000 or 4000 * 4000. It would be nice if it has an old worn out paper feel but I would love to see other s
Small budget
Small, graphically primitive, crude old school game
Will pay $$$
Very flexible schedule (can take up to three months)
Games are great, RPG games are awesome
Potential bonus lump sum if Kickstarter campaign reaches a milestone
Please respond with examples of maps you made, your going rate for a single ~3000 pixels by ~3000 pixels map, and other questions you might have.
You can send me a private message here or just shoot me an email:
Thanks and looking forward to working with you,

Pre-COP18 Briefing: Damian Ryan on what's at stake and Doha's possible outcomes
- Date
- 16 November 2012
COP18 takes place in Doha, Qatar, from November 26 to December 7, 2012. As part of our involvement in COP18, Damian Ryan our Senior Policy Manager, will be providing news and analysis, as well as live tweeting from Doha. This Pre-COP18 Briefing marks the start of his coverage.
The Climate Group's newly published pre-COP18 briefing paper contains a wealth of information and is essential reading for anyone that wants to follow what's going on at Summit. It includes analysis on developments since the last COP at Durban, key areas of negotiations at Doha and estimates on the potential outcome of the Summit.
Damian writes:
The basic objective of this year's UN climate conference (COP181) is to close two existing negotiating tracks, and consolidate talks on a new global climate treaty under the 'Durban Platform' process which was launched at last year's COP17.
The Summit will occur against the backdrop of an important milestone in the history of the global climate regime, namely the end of Kyoto Protocol's first five year commitment period on December 31.
Securing a final agreement for the immediate launch of a second commitment period - from 1 January 2013 - and concluding talks in this regard, will be a defining feature of the meeting.
In parallel, agreement to terminate the existing 'Convention track' negotiations on so-called 'Long-term Cooperative Action', will form a second critical area of negotiation at this year's conference. A satisfactory conclusion (or otherwise) to these two processes, will determine the degree of progress made under the new Durban Platform process.
Doha is expected to be a lower-key meeting than its predecessors in Cancun and Durban, especially in terms of public and media interest. But although no new initiatives or processes will be launched, much remains at stake.
A patchwork of interconnected and finely balanced issues has created a negotiating house of cards for Parties to manage.
Enlightened diplomatic choreography will therefore be essential for closing the existing negotiating tracks and for building faith and momentum in the new Durban Platform process from 2013.
Read the rest of the pre-COP18 briefing note, which looks at these key issues and offers observations on some of the factors likely to influence negotiations in Doha, by downloading it now.
Damian Ryan will also be writing news and analysis and live-tweeting throughout COP18, and providing a more in-depth post-COP Briefing after the events. Keep up to date on our website and by following him on Twitter during COP18.
In the run up to and during Doha we will also be posting a series of articles featuring analysis from our teams in the US, China, Europe, India and Australia on their nations' COP negotiating positions.
Read our pre-COP18 briefing paper now.

The Rifle High School boys basketball C team is undefeated this year! Chad Robinson led the freshman team of Max Doose, Joe Kosht, Ty Lebya, Tyler Bosshardt, Cesar Mancinas, Luis Carreon, Morgan Robinson, Sergio Castillo, Wyatt Bornholdt, Avery Lujan, Elliot Krebill and Riley Gray.
I truly believe this young team and its coaches deserve recognition for all of their hard work, commitment and skills for the season. The success of this team has not only come from great coaching, but from the fact the young men have grown up together, some of them playing since they were in pee wee leagues.
I personally can attest to the character of each and every boy on the C team. They are all "good kids" - polite, well mannered, hard working and committed team members. Many of them are enrolled in the international baccalaureate program and have had to maintain a strict grade point average along with their intense basketball schedule of daily practices and routine games.
Our community of parents has helped greatly to shape these youth as well. Weekly, we have provided a team dinner and a breakfast where we serve every member of each team. This is accomplished by many volunteer parents, some more than others, planning, cooking, buying and preparing food for more than 50 young men and their coaches. We are very grateful to have local businesses who have donated to the endeavor, such as Basecamp Cafe, WingNutz, Martinez Construction and City Market. All and all, Rifle is an amazing community with dynamic teens and a very bright future. We're not just a podunk town or a bedroom community any more!

Romulan drone-ship
this wiki
The Romulan drone-ship was an advanced experimental attack starship described as a marauder and developed by the Romulans in the 2150s. At least two prototypes of the vessel were built. The starship itself was a modified Romulan Warbird, with its propulsion systems and command circuitry largely identical to the typical Romulan warship of that era. The bridge consoles were still present when Trip Tucker and Malcolm Reed were able to gain access to the bridge. It was quite small in comparison to the Enterprise NX-01. The vessel was designed to be remotely controlled from Romulus by an Aenar pilot as chief among its many modifications. The drone-ship was controlled from an operations tower in the Romulan capital by the Aenar pilot, who was forced to pilot the warship against his will. Two Romulan officers oversaw its operation, as it was of special interest to the Romulan Senate.
The ship's bridge was dominated by a large subspace transceiver to receive its remote orders from Romulus. The interior was confining and cramped, with bulkheads exposing data cables at various points throughout the ship. Because of its lack of crew, much of the ship was devoid of a life support system. In addition, the drone-ship featured an auto-repair system that allowed it to correct damage sustained during combat.
The vessel was a formidable adversary in combat. Its weapons were very powerful for its time, inflicting major damage on its targets. Its ability to self-repair proved an asset during battle, where damage could begin to be corrected almost immediately. Without the need for inertial dampeners to protect a crew, the drone was much more maneuverable than the average manned vessel, capable of dodging photonic torpedoes with deft barrel rolls.
In 2154, the Romulan drone-ship was given the task of destabilizing potential political alliances between Earth, the Andorians, and the Tellarites. It was equipped with an advanced multispectral emitter system, which when activated allowed the ship to assume the appearance of nearly any other vessel. The drone-ship's disruptors used tri-phasic emitters, which could mimic the weapon signature of a wide range of other ships, from Andorian particle cannons and Tellarite disruptors to Starfleet phase cannons.
Using these unique abilities, the drone-ship threatened to provoke a war between the Andorians and Tellarites, first by destroying Andorian commander Shran's warship Kumari in the guise of a Tellarite vessel, then by attacking the vessel carrying the Tellarite ambassador, this time posing as an Andorian warship. The Romulans later threatened to draw the Humans, and potentially their allies the Vulcans, into the conflict, when the drone destroyed a Rigelian scout ship while mimicking the appearance of the starship Enterprise.
Ultimately, the drone ship's presence may have caused what the Romulans had hoped to avoid: an alliance against them. The appearance of a common enemy united the Andorians, Tellarites, Humans, and Vulcans, who attacked the drone and eventually forced it to withdraw to Romulan space.
The Romulans subsequently launched a second drone-ship which was used in combination with the first to attack Enterprise. Both drone-ships were destroyed when Jhamel, an Aenar, used Enterprise's telepresence unit to interfere, asking the pilot – her brother, Gareb – to stop his attack. Realizing his sister was on board the ship he was attacking, Gareb was strong enough to overcome the Romulans' control, and had the two drone-ships attack and destroy each other, thwarting the Romulans' attempt to destabilize the region.
In the 25th century timeline of Star Trek Online, Drone Ships are used by both the Romulan Star Empire and the breakaway Romulan Republic. In the Republic, drone ships are deployable by the Scimitar line of Dreadnought Warbirds. Like the original versions, drone ships are able to use their multispectral and tri-phasic emitters to mimic the appearance and weapon properties of various opposing ships, including Miranda-class frigates, Borg probes, Klingon Birds-of-Prey, and others. Unlike the originals, though, the drone ships are controlled remotely by the crew of the ship and do not need an Aenar pilot to function.

To the editor:
Recently, I have been hearing about newspapers being labeled as outdated for various reasons. They believe everyone should have an electronic device through which they can be informed about current happenings. This troubles me!
One single edition of a newspaper provides so much more. You can access important local and worldwide happenings, weather and financial information, sports news, historical fact, opinions to contemplate, advice, laughter, job and sale opportunities and games to challenge the mind. All this in the comfort of your easy chair, relaxing with a cup of coffee � and no turning on an electronic device, jumping from screen to screen hoping the electricity is not off or that your device is working properly.
It alarms me when I see people, especially the younger generation, being questioned about current or historical facts. They do not have a clue about what is actually happening in the world or what has happened in the past and many of them with the latest electronic devices at their fingertips.
The latest technology can become a negative when it limits our taking time out to relax with a newspaper and enjoy its contents. Next, it will be the telephone that they will want to make obsolete when all they have to do is text one another. The ability to have a meaningful conversation will soon be disappearing.
I know this letter dates me, but in this day and age it is imperative to be fully informed as to local and world events in order to make sound decisions.
Please do not let yourselves slide into a lifestyle so involved that it denies you the simplest pleasures in your lifetime � of sitting down with a newspaper or having a meaningful face-to-face conversation with one another. Life is short.

What Works: Build a Case for HR's Bottom-Line Impact
The next time you're looking for a training video about human resources,workplace culture, and the bottom line, drive to your nearest video-rental storeand pick up a copy of Jerry Maguire. That's right, skip the usual stuff aboutparadigms and fish markets, and get the 1996 release starring Tom Cruise, ReneeZellweger, and Cuba Gooding Jr.
In the movie, Cruise plays Maguire, a high-flying sports agent who startsfeeling that his work is too self-serving. Am I "just another shark in a suit?"he asks. Things reach a crisis point while he's out of town on business. Hestays up all night, thinking, agonizing, sucking down coffee -- and writing amulti-page mission statement titled, "The Things We Think and Do Not Say: TheFuture of Our Business."
It's an on-paper liberation, and Maguire makes copies for his 110colleagues. They politely take it, read it, and gulp hard. The "statement"takes shots at their business and calls for people to be more caring, morehumane. All of his coworkers (except Zellweger, who goes on to team up with him)begin to ostracize him. Eventually he gets his walking papers, and is left withjust one client, a wide receiver named Rod Tidwell (Gooding).
There are plenty of studies showing that investments to improve human resources end up increasing the overall worth of an organization.
Tidwell has no shortage of self-confidence and couldn't care less aboutemotion-laden mission statements. What he wants from Maguire is a bettercontract and a fatter paycheck. In fact, his guiding mantra is just four words:"Show me the money!" He says it on the phone. He says it in the shower. Hesays it while dancing. He practically grabs Maguire by the collar and says, "It'sall about the bottom line, stupid." Show me the money!
In all of my years working with organizations, I've never seen CEOs, CFOs,or accountants dancing on their desks shouting, "Show me the money!" But I'vehad the sense that they're saying it inside, and some have grabbed me by thefigurative collar and said, "That stuff about improving the workplace cultureis all well and good, but how will it help our bottom line?" I've often feltlike Maguire, full of mission, pitted against the Rod Tidwells of the world.
For change agents who have a Maguire-like missionary zeal, it's tempting topull away and let the money-minded people live in their own world. But nothingis more self-defeating. In most cases, change agents do have to show the money.It's a necessary step in winning over fence-sitters and skeptics.
Fortunately, there are plenty of studies showing that investments to improvehuman resources end up increasing the overall worth of an organization. You'reprobably familiar with Fortune magazine's annual list of the "Best Companiesto Work For." A group of number-crunchers took the 1999 list, sorted out the55 companies whose stocks had been publicly traded for at least five years, andcompared the results to those of the Russell 3000. (The comprehensive Russell3000 Index of U.S. stocks includes companies that are comparable to those on the"best" list.) Over the same five-year period, Fortune's 55 best companieshad an average annual appreciation of 25 percent -- well ahead of the 19 percentgain by the Russell index.
In a similar study, consulting firm Hewitt Associates teamed up with theUniversity of Wisconsin and Vanderbilt University to analyze the average stockreturns from the "best companies to work for." Their findings made it clearthat people-friendly practices benefit the bottom line. During a measurementperiod of seven years, the data showed that companies on a 1993 "best" listoutpaced a broad market index by 87 percentage points. The top 1998 Fortunecompanies bested their index counterparts by 56 percentage points, over fouryears.
Watson Wyatt surveyed 405 publicly traded companies of all types, posing 72wide-ranging questions on everything from training to workplace culture tocommunications. In order to come up with a so-called Human Capital Index (HCI)score for each company, a statistical formula was applied. Then the subjectcompanies were sorted into three HCI-rating categories: low, medium, and high.The companies in the high-HCI group delivered a 103 percent total return toshareholders over a five-year period, compared to 53 percent for low-HCI and 88percent for medium-HCI companies.
So when someone asks you to show them the money, graciously accept theirinvitation and share one of the above studies. And if they respond with moreskepticism, mention the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award, which waslaunched in 1988 and is regarded by many business leaders as the top award fororganizational performance. Its criteria cover seven areas: human resources,leadership, strategic planning, customer and market focus, information andanalysis, process management, and business results. Baldrige winners haveconsistently outperformed the S&P 500 -- by a margin of 4.4 to 1, accordingto an April 2001 analysis.
Of course, these are by no means the only studies. What I'd like to do iscall this column Part One of a two-part series. If you're aware of otherevidence that builds a case for enriching the workplace, send me theinformation. I'm interested in big research findings like the ones describedabove as well as organization-specific measures that can be publicly shared. (Anexample of the latter would be data showing how investments in training anddevelopment at a company have increased customer satisfaction and retention.) I'llsift through everything you send and feature the highlights in June.
Also, you might want to rent Jerry Maguire. Check out Rod Tidwell's jig to"Show Me the Money." I guarantee that when you're equipped with severalsolid studies showing the bottom-line impact of culture change in the workplace,you'll be dancing, too.

Spirit of St. Louis
Jobs | Christian training programs are working hard to help their students become employable and, in some cases, employed
"Spirit of St. Louis" Continued...
ST. LOUIS-With 35 years of experience in human resources, Lane Hardie knows a thing or two about how to get a job. "Don't look at the qualifications of a job, but the tasks that the job requires," he always tells job seekers. Following his retirement in 2006, Hardie has helped some St. Louis-unemployed find jobs, but it's tough: Since he began a job-help program at his church, Central Presbyterian, in October 2009, 60 people have gone through the three-month course, but so far only eight have found full-time jobs.
The church's main campus is in Clayton, an inner-ring suburb of St. Louis, and Hardie sees the Central Presbyterian congregation as a microcosm of the country, with both high-skilled and entry-level seekers out of work. "Many [of the unemployed] had a job for a long time and don't have a clue how to get out in this difficult job market," Hardie said. With many companies tightening budgets, human resource departments are often the first cut, making the process even more impersonal.
Hardie's church program uses Crossroads Career Network, a Christian job training service that helps job seekers determine their interests and strengths, then teaches them how to find a fitting job. He meets with the students one-on-one every week to discuss the material and mentor them through their job search. "We have had varying levels of success," he said. "Those who are highly motivated put in the hard work to move through the program quickly, while others struggle and never get through."
For residents of St. Louis, it's easy to become frustrated with the job search: The city has lost many of its corporate headquarters and manufacturing jobs in the past decade. Hardie often sees his students losing hope after sending out job applications week after week without hearing back from the companies: "Those people have been employed most of their life, and their self-worth and self-esteem are tied to that." Hardie prays with them and brings them back to the promises in the Bible-that God is the one in control and that He will provide for those who trust in Him, although not necessarily as we might expect. Hardie also refers them to ministers and other resources at the church.
Christina Mitas, a recent college graduate, read about the program in the church bulletin. The 26-year-old had graduated with a degree in business administration and felt dissatisfied with her job at a dry cleaning store. She started meeting with Hardie after work, and the sessions helped determine what she wanted to do and how to go about achieving it: "Lane had lots of experience with interviews and I learned things that I couldn't have paid for."
About two months after she started the program, Hardie encouraged her to attend a job fair where she found a mortgage company that was hiring. She applied for a loan officer position and has worked at the company for a year. Her new work is a big step up from dry cleaning: "It's hard, but I've learned so much here-it's very beneficial."
In another part of the St. Louis area, the impoverished Wellston neighborhood, a warehouse filled with scrap metal five years ago is now a woodworking shop, with power saws and woodcutters and the smell of wood shavings in the air. One morning last month at the shop on the corner of Plymouth and Stephen Jones, four men were ending their first-week orientation for 17 more weeks of Bible study, financial management, critical thinking, and job training in carpentry.
Master carpenter Jim McGarry and his wife Tammy started More than Carpentry in Wellston with the goal of helping "the least qualified people that other companies don't want. We give them more skills, knowledge, and preparation, and send them out." The "least qualified" have to want to improve their lives: Classes run Monday through Friday from 8 to 4, and attendance is crucial: "We give them more grace than other businesses, but we still hold them to high expectation," McGarry said.
Almost 40 percent of the residents in the largely African-American neighborhood are poor. Only 60 percent have a high school diploma, and many of the high schools in the area have lost accreditation. The McGarrys had considered doing mission work in Bolivia but saw a greater need in their own backyard. Wellston, the fourth poorest city in Missouri, is just two miles from prestigious Washington University, but with crumbling houses and stretches of empty lots, it seems worlds away. At first Wellston residents saw the McGarrys as outsiders, but after they spent three years cleaning up the lot and moved into a nearby house with their children, the McGarrys became neighbors, not invaders.
In the back of the workshop, Keith Dorsay, one of the first graduates of the cabinet-making class in 2010, now works as a paid apprentice helping McGarry make custom furniture for customers. The income is used to support the program, which offers apprenticeships for all who complete the course. The goal is that with three to four years of experience, More Than Carpentry graduates can earn their journeyman certification and find jobs at other businesses.
Dorsay heard about the program while working to renovate the warehouse as a side job. McGarry noticed his diligence hanging up drywall and asked if he was interested in carpentry. "It's in my blood," Dorsay said-his grandfather and uncle were both carpenters. He learned during the past year that the work is hard but the payoff is worth it: "Seeing finished work ... it's such a feeling you get when you see it, you sit back and marvel at it."
For a mid-morning break, the new students gathered around a table in an adjacent classroom with Dorsay and the instructors to discuss their experience so far and expectations. Wesley Tyler, a quiet 20-something with dreadlocks, says he joined More Than Carpentry to make changes in the right direction: "This is more than a job, it's a new avenue-working with tools and wood and individual techniques, the Bible study, mentoring-it's good stuff." His routine has changed: "My personal life was crazy, but now I'm pretty boring. Now I'm home at 6 p.m. and I'm like 'What am I doing?' But I love it."
Titus Maclin, who has worked in construction for 10-15 years, wanted to get to the roots of carpentry. He's now learning about finishing wood but much more: "The spiritual aspect of [the class] grounds you, to the point where you know what it's like to stay prayed up. It feels like family, it's a family; we stick together and encourage one another." Joining the class was a big change for Maclin: "I'm no spring chicken anymore. My kids are at school, and now I'm coming back home to read a book-I never do that."
Tammy McGarry has learned that most residents of Wellston aren't familiar with the concept of hard work. She says many of the men in the area choose instead to make quick money selling drugs-sometimes thousands of dollars in just a few hours. Most don't have father figures in their lives to model hard work. Many have committed crimes and done jail time, and know that companies don't want to risk hiring an ex-felon. "They are filled with rejection and feeling like they can't contribute to society," Tammy said. "You gain dignity by supporting yourself."
An older woman in Wellston once told Tammy that all their men are either headed to the grave or to jail, with no dreams or goals for their future. McGarry tries to instill in these men a vision of what their life could be like. He took one class on a field trip to a local commercial cabinet-making business. It's now shown interest in hiring More Than Carpentry graduates.
Five miles south in St. Louis' Tower Grove neighborhood, 21-year-old Darren Jackson is trying to improve his part of the neighborhood. Currently the director of Jobs for Life with the Christian nonprofit Mission: St. Louis (MSTL), Jackson moved into the neighborhood and started striking up conversations with other young men on the street corner. The men quickly accepted him because "I look like them and we have a lot of the same background experience."
Jackson started a discipleship group that met at McDonald's on Thursdays. The group grew from two to 15 men who met weekly at MSTL executive director Josh Wilson's house, where they would open up about problems. But after a while more than half of them drifted away or slipped back to their old lifestyle. When Jackson asked why, they said that as much as they liked the group, they had more pressing needs-to eat, to support their kids, and to pay rent.
Jackson thought about starting a business to hire these men, but realized that wasn't a solution: "We realized, man, these dudes aren't employable, we would be serving them an injustice if we were to give them jobs. That's not empowering them."
Last spring he started a job-training program that created a support group for these men-mentors, instructors, and small groups that would be there for them even after the eight-week program finished. Jobs for Life helps them work through emotional roadblocks, teaches them "soft skills," and also prepares them to apply for jobs and attend interviews. Each class ends with a good news message-a Bible verse, video, spoken word, or testimony-that explains why the class exists.
Jobs for Life will be starting its third class this September, this time partnering with the board of probation and parole so that clients can choose Jobs for Life to fulfill their requirement of looking for a job after being released.
So far, none of the Jobs for Life students has graduated from the course, but two have been able to find jobs. Wilson says the age group Jobs for Life deals with-males between 17 and 25-is known for being "unreachable." He says they are "really lazy, they don't want to work. They haven't lived life long enough to figure out if they want to change it or not." Often, looking for a career instead of another quick fix is a huge cultural shift. Many drop out when difficulties develop. That's why support groups and relationships are so important, according to Jackson: "This isn't just a program for you to get through. We live here, we are here all the time ... and we care about you."
Jarred Banks, a student of the second class, used his relationships in Jobs for Life to find a job. The soft-spoken 19-year-old dropped out of high school in 11th grade and had recently been laid off from his job at the St. Louis Science Center when he met Jackson on his block earlier this summer. Banks started coming to Jobs for Life, where he overcame his shyness, started connecting with his small group leader, Leonard Johnson, and gave up his former lifestyle because of a strict no drugs policy.
Banks' perspective: "I didn't really have to give nothing up but sitting down ... it was worth it, because before I'd be sitting down and broke, but now I'm talking and actually enjoying myself." Johnson, who owns a contracting construction business, hired Banks after seeing him make great strides in his first month in the program. Banks now works full-time gutting houses, painting, and doing other minor work. Johnson praises Banks as a hard worker and a fast learner. Banks sees Johnson as his "best friend" and says, "In the future I'll look back at myself and like, I actually accomplished something, because I never accomplished nothing."
The greatest help to the program has been the buy-in from local businesses, MSTL's Wilson said. A housing developer has come by the class, teaching students how to fill out applications. The owner of a used car lot has hired Jobs for Life men to detail cars, but has also fired them-rightly so, Wilson said. He believes sometimes the best way to love these men is to give them a realistic expectation of what the workforce demands.

Prescription Drug Abuse Is Growing In Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A new report says prescription drug abuse has grown into a major problem for Iowa.
The 2013 Iowa Drug Control Strategy report was issued by the Governor's Office of Drug Control Policy.
It cites progress last year in reducing meth labs, the use of synthetic drugs and in alcohol offenses. But the report also cites increases in crimes involving heroin and marijuana and the diversion and abuse of prescription drugs.
The report says 62 Iowans died last year of drug-related overdoses involving prescription painkillers. That's a nearly eightfold increase from a decade ago.
Three Year Old Girl Dies After TV Falls On Her
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A 3-year-old girl has died nearly three months after she pulled a large television down upon herself.
Family friend Lena McElvogue told The Des Moines Register that Aleena Coe died Thursday at a
hospice in Johnston.
She was injured Aug. 9 when the television fell onto her as she was watching a program with her sister in their Des Moines home.
Aleena's heart stopped, and although medics managed to get her heart started again she was without oxygen for 45 minutes.
She spent nearly a month at Mercy Medical Center.
A benefit is planned for 1 p.m. Sunday at the Main Gate Bar & Grill in Des Moines to raise money for medical and funeral expenses.
A fund for the family has been established at Community State Bank.
Police Chief Recovering After Shooting
SUMNER, Iowa (AP) - The Sumner police chief continues to improve after being wounded during a chase of two men suspected of robbing a bank.
Chief Dennis Cain suffered gunshot wounds to his neck, hand and finger during the October 30th chase after the Maynard robbery. He was treated at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
Sumner Mayor Gary Walke tells KWWL that Cain is recovering well and soon will be moved to Allen Hospital in Waterloo.
Iowa State trooper Mark Domino also was shot in the arm during the chase. He was treated at a hospital and released.
Police say 24-year-old Jeremiah Mumford, of New Hampton, and 19-year-old William Clayton of Osage face multiple charges in Bremer County, where they were captured, and in Fayette County,
where the bank was robbed.
DNR Purposely Kills Fish At Black Hawk Lake
(Lake View) -- In an effort to improve the water quality at Black Hawk Lake, near Lake View, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources has purposely killed all the fish within the lake. In a Sioux City Journal article, DNR officials were applying a fish toxicant rotenone to kill all remaining fish within the Sac County lake. DNR officials say birds and mammals will not be affected. D-N-R officials will restock the lake in the spring.
Fish Kill In Johnson County Attributed To Mistaken Release of Ag Chemical
OXFORD, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Department of Natural Resources says a mistaken release from an agriculture chemical company has killed fish in a Johnson County creek.
The DNR says about 100 dead minnows were found Thursday afternoon along Rhine Creek in Oxford.
The fish died after about 200 gallons were released from rinse tanks at AgVantage of Oxford. The DNR says the liquid was mostly water but also contained unspecified residue of agriculture chemicals.
The liquid pooled on the ground and some then flowed into the creek.
Company workers were cleaning up the liquid Thursday.

The camera is very easy to use and takes good pictures. I would recommend adding a strobe to enhance picture quality of the camera. The only downfall I found is when using the camera for onshore pictures I received a shadow on the screen while taking pictures on the beach in warm weather. I am hoping this will clear up, so be careful when using the camera other than underwater photography.

1408 (2007)
1408 Synopsis
Based on the short Stephen King horror story of the same name, 1408 surrounds supernatural writer Mike Enslin, an author of two hit books focusing on supernatural phenomena. As research for his latest book, Enslin is determined to check out the notorious room 1408 in a New York City hotel by personally staying as a guest in the fabled room. With the intention that 1408 is just a myth perpetuated by stories and rumor that Enslin has collected for his past works. However, hotel manager Mr. Olin has strong objections to Enslin's stay and only warns him of possible danger to come. But Enslin is determined to go through and convinced that the horrific past of 1408 is just mere coincidence and a myth. But what Mike Enslin is about to experience is no myth, as 1408 truly is a room where the guests don't check out by noon.
1408 is an adaptation of a Stephen King short story, which ought to explain why the trailers have such an easy time of making the whole thing seem damned creepy. Mikael Håfströms film looks slick and well crafted, and its the first horror movie trailer Ive seen in awhile that didnt give me a case of the cliché shivers.
For Sam Jackson, this is a chance to get back to being in movies people actually show up to see. Black Snake Moan was critically acclaimed, but audiences, inexplicably, werent interested in paying high ticket prices to see Christina Ricci chained to a radiator. What is this country coming too? Snakes on a Plane was a lot of fun, but again, if it doesnt somehow connect to American Idol the rank and file moviegoer just isnt interested. Maybe they should have cast Simon as a cobra. Before that it was Freedomland, which got exactly the kind of box office failure it deserved. In 2005 Sam was in the last Star Wars, but come on that doesnt really count does it? Revenge of the Siths success has nothing to do with him. He may not be the lead in 1408, but it sure would be nice for Jackson if he was in something that someone has seen.
For John Cusack, this is a chance to um play John Cusack again. Its what he does. Hes very good at it. In fact he does it better than just about anyone else. Its a ghost movie, nobody is looking for some kind of nuanced performance. Youve just got to look scared John. Go to it.

Also, could anyone refer me to a decent tutorial for beginners?

German Shepherd Dog Forums (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/)
- Finding the Right Puppy (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/finding-right-puppy/)
- - Please help me find the right Alsatian puppy for me... (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/finding-right-puppy/451249-please-help-me-find-right-alsatian-puppy-me.html)
Please help me find the right Alsatian puppy for me...
First post and hoping you guys can help me out with picking my first dog....
A bit about me....
1. I have never owned a dog before. However, ever since I was a kid, I wanted to own an Alsatian (GSD).
2. I currently live in an apartment and wont move to a house until about 2 years.
3. I'm pretty active. Love to go on hikes, run etc.
4. I have a small park about 2 mins away from my apt, but kids play there as well.
What I am looking for:
1. A pure bread Alsatian (GSD).
2. MUST love people and especially kids as I often have my nieces and nephews over.
3. Must be receptive an easy to training (And yes, I will be training with him as well, as a first time dog owner).
Questions are:
1. Where do I get a pure bred Alsatian pup from (I'm in the PA/MD/DC/NOVA area)?
2. What kinda papers should I been looking for?
3. What kinda questions should be asking the breeder?
4. Should I even been looking on Craigslist?
5. What are estimated puppy prices?
6. What are the initial cost of keeping and maintaining a puppy?
7. What are the monthly costs like? Like food, vet bills, shots?
8. Should I be looking for Show or Work line? I didn't even know about this until a few hours ago. Just found out about it in this forum.
9. Can I leave the puppy alone in my apt for about 4 hours at a time?
10. Just how bad are the hip issues Alsatians get as they get old and when to expect them (Age)?.
Sorry for the looong list of questions, but I am pretty clueless about this as you can see :D
Thanks for the help guys...
Selzer, could you handle this one, I'm tired, I need a puppy nap... ;)
I'll just add my .02 to the ones I have answers for
2. What kinda papers should I been looking for?
AKC (or SV if parents are German, or other FCI-accepted foreign registry). Avoid puppy mill registries like APRI and CKC.
4. Should I even been looking on Craigslist?
Probably not if you're willing to spend the time doing research and spend the money supporting a good breeder. Selling dogs is not allowed on CL anyway.
5. What are estimated puppy prices?
$1000-$2000 for working line; $1800-$3000 for west German show line
6. What are the initial cost of keeping and maintaining a puppy?
7. What are the monthly costs like? Like food, vet bills, shots?
My last puppy needed two more shots, then rabies shot at 6 months (all these shots about $25 each), he had worms despite being wormed twice by the breeder but that was only $5 for treatment. Microchip was $20. Local county registration is $24/yr. Food, toys, supplies....really depends on what you have and what you think you want/need. I used an expen and three crates (one in basement, one in bedroom, one in van), but already had these. My puppy started sleeping out of the crate at 5 months old, but is still crated in the basement while I work.
9. Can I leave the puppy alone in my apt for about 4 hours at a time?
Yes, that will be fine. Most dog owners work full time.
10. Just how bad are the hip issues Alsatians get as they get old and when to expect them (Age)?
Stack the deck in your favor by looking at breeders who are testing their dogs (OFA, SV a-stamp, or PenHip) and breeding dogs from generations of parents with sound hips. You can get prelim x-rays at 6 months old if it's a concern. I'm having my puppy x-rayed on Wed. Generally a dog has hip dysplasia or not. Many dogs may get stiff or have some arthritic changes as they age but don't necessarily have hip dysplasia.

|Refuse fees to increase 12%
|Written by April Peregoy
Beginning Friday, Dec. 19, refuse fees for residents of the City of Holyoke will increase 12 percent across the board.
For residential customers, the monthly fee will be $14.44, and for commercial users, $15.79 per month and up depending on volume. Those outside the city limits must pay an additional $38.72 per month.
A resolution establishing the new fee schedule was passed by Holyoke City Council at its regular meeting Tuesday, Dec. 2.
However, the first item of business for the council that night was to swear in new member Sara Bohrer. She replaces Terry Meek, who resigned in October. It was noted Bohrer will also take over Meek's former committee appointments.
The reason for the fee increase, according to mayor David Nygaard, is the need to offset the cost of operations for the city. The council had hoped to accomplish this by passing a one percent sales tax increase during the November general election, but it was defeated by voters.
Other options, such as charging extra fees for leaf and branch pick-ups or increasing utility fees, were also considered by the council in the past. The refuse fee increase is thought to be the best option because, even with the hike, the fees are still reasonable.
City's damaged building
to be removed
It's been over a month now since the collapse of the city's electric/storage building due to strong winds on Nov. 6. Since then, the city has been unable to clean up the damage due to its insurance company's demands for asbestos testing and the collecting of bids for the removal of the building.
City Supt. Mark Brown said he received five bids from companies wanting to do the job. Two are from Denver businesses, one Sterling and two are local. The lowest bid is from Rick Ensminger for $9,500.
However, Brown explained, the council does not have to hire out the job; instead, it could collect the $9,500 from the insurance company and have the city crews do it. This would save the city on labor costs, as the employees could do it during their regular work hours.
The council was ready to agree to having city personnel remove the building, but before the motion was passed, councilman Orville Tonsing voiced his opposition.
"This is not a good move," he said. "I think we need to have someone more experienced." He stated his concern that the council could be putting the safety of the employees in jeopardy, adding, "I don't think this is a place where we want our people to be."
It was also noted by other council members that an employee had already been injured by the building during the collapse on Nov. 6.
Hearing this rationale, council members voted 6-1 to give the job to Ensminger, with Ray Bailey casting the negative vote.
Internet service
options discussed
Safety and speed issues with the city's current internet system have led the council to consider other possible options. Currently, Chase3000 is the city's internet provider.
The problem, as explained by mayor Nygaard, is that the city's administrative computers share a server with the Holyoke Police Dept. Not only does this cause their internet speeds to slow down, but it also poses a security threat as the administration and police dept. could potentially gain access to each other's information.
Having two separate servers would fix the problem, and Nygaard suggested the council look at keeping Chase3000 as the administration's provider, but going with PC Telcom for the police dept.
It was noted the city is considering installing a new phone system, which was included in the 2009 budget, and if the city does make changes to its internet service, it would be easier to do both switches at once.
Council members were given information from PC Telcom on the bundled packages and costs it could provide if the city chose to go with the business. However, council members admitted some of the details were unclear to them. They felt they did not have enough information to make a good decision that night and tabled the matter until more could be gathered.
Other business
In other business, city council members:
—were notified by Brown that the airport's Jet A Fuel Farm has arrived and is ready to be installed.
—heard a report from Police Chief Phil Biersdorfer that Damon Ellis is expected to graduate from the police academy during the first week of December and can begin working at Holyoke Police Dept. right away.
—held a public hearing on the annual appropriations ordinance. Hearing no objections, the ordinance was passed.
—introduced Ordinance No. 8, an ordinance appropriating additional sums of money to defray expenses in excess of amounts budgeted. The ordinance in its entirety can be found in this week's Enterprise. A public hearing on the ordinance will take place at the council's Tuesday, Dec. 16 meeting.
—approved the certification of the mill levy at 21.8 mills.
—agreed to offer a vacation day as a door prize at the City Employee and Council Christmas Party.

Apologies in advance that these may be more tomcat questions than Zimbra questions....
Both zimbra.domain.com and mail.domain.com are pointing to my server and both work fine with the self-signed cert.
I created a CSR on the Zimbra server, submitted it, and got a commercial cert from www.instantssl.com for mail.dyers.net.
The Zimbra hostname is zimbra.dyers.net.
As far as Zimbra/Tomcat are concerned, is it OK that the SSL cert name is different from the Zimbra hostname?
When I created the CSR I used the alias zimbra-gte instead of tomcat. Is there a way to get this to work even though I used a different alias? Or do I need to recreate the CSR and get a new cet?

Students at Boston University in Massachusetts have launched an online petition calling on school officials to cancel an upcoming concert by Robin Thicke.
Officials at student organization the Humanists of Boston University have started a petition to put a halt to the "Blurred Lines" hitmaker's tour stop on March 4 because of his "sexist lyrics".
The petition reads, "It is a dishonor to our feminist history to symbolically idolize Robin Thicke by allowing him to perform his misogynist music at our university… 'Blurred Lines' celebrates having sex with women against their will."
Despite the fact that about 1,400 students have signed the petition as of Thursday, a school official tells The Huffington Post that administration had no part in booking the Thicke gig and it is unlikely to be canceled.

Rail carload volumes hit highest level since late 2008, says AAR
April 08, 2011
Signs of slow and steady economic growth continue to appear of late in weekly rail carload and intermodal volumes released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
For the week ending April 2, the AAR reported that carload volume hit its highest level since the end of 2008 at 305,905 carloads for a 5.7 percent annual increase. This outpaced the weeks ending March 26, March 19, and March 12, which hit 200,903, 292,164, and 303,953, respectively.
Carload volume was up 5 percent in the East and up 6.1 percent out West. Total carloads currently stand at 3,773,949 for a 5.1 percent year-over-year increase on a year-to-date basis.
Intermodal volume for the week was up 19.4 percent at 234,308 trailers and containers, which was ahead of the week ending March 26 at 223,034 and the week ending March 19 at 222,788.
So far in 2010, railroad volumes are off to a solid start especially when considering the havoc caused by harsh weather conditions in various parts of the country. What's more, Morgan Stanley analyst William Greene observed in a research note that "rail traffic ended the quarter on a positive note with trends surpassing normal seasonality and with all rails exceeding YTD YoY growth rates in the final week of the quarter."
Volumes continue to show steady growth on an annual and sequential basis, while the percentage levels of annual gains are lessening due to the fact that 2010 was being compared to a dismal 2009, a low point for freight transportation volumes.
Of the 20 commodity groups tracked by the AAR, 15 were up annually. Motor vehicles and equipment were up 25.7 percent, and metallic ores and metals and products were up 25.7 percent and 23.4 percent, respectively. Primary forest products were down 29.3 percent.
Estimated ton-miles for the week were 34.3 billion for a 7.2 percent annual increase, and on a year-to-date basis, the 425.1 billion ton-miles recorded are up 6.3 percent.

WASHINGTON – Gallaudet University officials are investigating an alleged sexual assault involving students enrolled in its secondary school.
The alleged incident involved two students from Gallaudet's Model Secondary School for the Deaf, which provides high school education, during a school-sponsored trip to Annapolis, Md., the university says.
The secondary school is located on the Gallaudet campus and has a residential and day program.
"Anne Arundel County police are conducting an investigation and we have no additional information we can share at this time," the school says in a statement.
The Anne Arundel County police confirm they are conducting a criminal investigation and have not characterized it in another way. They say an incident took place on a bus at 10 p.m. on Saturday.
According to a statement from Kaitlin Luna, Coordinator of Media and Public Relations at Gallaudet University students in the Model Secondary School for the Deaf attend workshops on healthy dating, appropriate conduct and sexual harrassment.
Enrollment in the program is 150 and there are 35 "student life" staff members. When students go off campus for school sponsored events, Luna writes that they are accompanied by at least two staff members who " monitor the students and track their whereabouts".
Luna adds the number of staff is adjusted depending on the number of students on any off campus trip.
There were no details on how many were on the trip to Annapolis, and how many staff members were present.
The incident was reported Sunday, according to NBC Washington.

Spread out between the Katingan and the Sebangau Rivers, just at the outskirt of Palangkaraya,, the Sebangau National Park in Central Kalimantan is one of the last remaining peat swamp forests in Borneo. The vast national park covering approximately 568,700-hectare is home to over 6,000 orangutans, forming one of the world's largest populations in the wild. Aside from its rich biodiversity, the forest is also known for its special ecosystem: that of the black water ecosystem. This particular ecosystem was created from decomposing organic matter living in these peat swamps, resulting in the blackened water and the unique variety of organisms.
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) Indonesia campaigned to establish the park, which was gazetted in 2004, and the organizaton remains at the forefront at involving nearby residents in low-impact logging, home industry, reforestation and ecotourism. Thus, providing balance harmony between the preservation of Orangutan and the community.
Latest developments based on genetic research by Zhang (2001) and Taxonomy by Groves (1999) revealed that the Borneo Orangutan, Pongo pygmaeus, is of a different species from the Sumatran Pongo abelli. The Borneo orangutan has a distinctive body shape with very long arms that may reach up to two meters in length. They have a coarse, shaggy reddish coat and grasping hands and feet. They are highly sexually dimorphic, with adult males being distinguished by their large size, throat pouch and flanges on either side of the face, known as cheek pads. The Borneo orangutan travels on the ground more than its Sumatran counterpart. It is theorized this may be partly because herethere is no need to avoid large predators as found in Sumatra including he Sumatran Tigers.
Aside from being the home of huge communities of orangutans, the park is also habitat to 35 species of mammals, 116 species of Borneo typical birds, 36 species of fish, and about 166 species of flora. Some of the particular animals that roam freely in these forests include: orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus), Southern pig-tailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina), kelasi (Presbytis rubicunda), proboscis monkeys (Nasalis larvatus) , Sun Bears (Helarctos malayanus), Forest cats (Felis bangalensis), Chipmunks (Exilisciurus axilis), hornbills or enggang gunung (A. undulatus), enggang gading (Buceros vigil), enggang badak (Buceros rhinoceros), Swamp Heron (Ciconia stormi), pecuk ular (Anhinga melanogaster), cangak merah (Ardea purpurea), cangak laut (Ardea sumatrana), Black Eagle (Ictinaetus malayensis), Catfish (Clarias sp.), papuyu (Anabas testudineus), kakapar (Belontia hesselti), and sambaling (Betta sp). Among some of the flora found in the park are: jelutung (Dyera lowii), belangeran (Shorea belangeran), pulai (Alstonia angustifolia), ulin wood, Deer Horn orchids and black orchids.
Amidst the peat swamp forests, the National Park also offers beautiful scenery of pristine hills. From the top of Bukit Batu or Rock Hill, one overlooks the Sebangau National Park and all its fascinating scenery. The hill is also the perfect spot for bird watching since white Herons, swallows, Green Cucaks, Keruang, Kepodang, and Bald Eagles are among some of the exotic birds that nest here on the hills. A long and challenging trek is available at Bukit Bulan or the Moon Hill. As trekkers make their way up the hill, they will be presented with refreshing trails along the Sungai Bulan, or Moon River. A unique ecosystem of peat swamp and granite rocks is observable at Bukit Kaki or Foot Hill. The granite rockz cause a dry environment, and thus the trees are different from those in the surrounding environment.
In the Sebangau National park are also crystal clear, refreshing, fresh water lakes. These lakes are also habitat to various species of fish and other distinct flora and fauna, and are the best place to watch nature's process at its finest. These magnificent lakes are known as Bulat Lake (Round Lake), Punggualas Lake, Jalan Pangen Lake, and Panjang Lake (Long Lake).
Along with Tanjung Puting, the Sebangau National Park is a perfect representation of the pristine tropical forests of Central Kalimantan. Guarded by endless preservation efforts and the ancient local wisdom of the Dayak, these tropical forests form an important part of the world's environment, supplyig vital oxygen for the entire planet.
There are obviously no hotels or bed and breakfast establishments within the national park area. Consult the officer in charge for designated camping areas or other accommodation options. If you are looking for accommodations in Palangkaraya you can visit Find a Hotel in Central Kalimantan.
As a national park, there are certain procedures that you must comply with for your visit to the Sebangau National Park. Here are the procedures as quoted (and translated) from the park official website:

- Research Fee
- Picture Taking Fee

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- You'll want to factor this into your budgeting this year: gas prices are heading higher.
The national average is up three cents to $3.30 a gallon in the past week, and it's up 8 cents since hitting a 2012 low of $3.22 in mid-December.
Prices at the pump are likely to get worse in the coming weeks. This year, AAA expect gas to average less than $3.60 a gallon, which is a little less than last year.

Urgent care center to open at LBMC
SNCH awarded $6.6M grant to provide limited services in Long Beach
1 2 3 Next page >
South Nassau Communities Hospital announced last week that it was awarded a $6.6 million state grant that will be used to open an urgent care facility at Long Beach Medical Center.
LBMC has been closed since Hurricane Sandy, and SNCH spokesman Damian Becker said that the center will provide some of the medical services that have been missing on the barrier island for the past 11 months.
The facility, to be run by South Nassau, will not include a 911-receiving emergency department, so ambulances will still have go elsewhere — and risk delays on bridges — in emergency situations, a main source of frustration among city officials and residents.
"This is a good step in the right direction for the residents of Long Beach, to give them more convenient access to the health care services they need," Becker said. "Is it the absolute answer for them? I would say no, but it's better than the present situation."
The 162-bed hospital closed after 10 feet of water flooded its basement during Sandy, causing $56 million in damage. All of the major work to allow two wings to open, including the emergency department, was completed in June.
But the state Department of Health blocked the facility from reopening, after Commissioner Dr. Nirav Shah said that LBMC, which had lost more than $2 million per year since 2008, had failed to produce a sustainable health care business plan that would meet the needs of the Long Beach community. The state called on the hospital to close its acute care service and merge with SNCH, saying that it should function as a freestanding emergency department with urgent care and primary care services.
State grant funding for the urgent care center is part of a separate effort to restore services in Long Beach, Becker explained, adding that negotiations among LBMC, the state Health Department and South Nassau are continuing — and still include the possibility of a merger.

Birth Place: London, England, GB
Henry Charles Albert David Windsor was born on Sept. 15, 1984 in London, England to the Prince and Princess of Wales, Charles and Diana. Prince Harry was third in line to the British throne, after his father and his older brother, Prince William. Even as a young boy, Prince Harry was distinctly more boisterous than Prince William. When photographed, the red-headed child smiled and made faces at the cameras, which earned him the nickname "The Happy Prince." Prince Harry attended Mrs. Jane Mynors' nursery school in West London and later the Ludgrove School in Berkshire. Amidst all the luxuries afforded him, Prince Harry's life was not without conflict and controversy. For years, Prince Harry's... Continue Bio >>
