Departing the country through land borders requires payment of the land border exit fee of US$18.75 per person. A portion of the departure tax goes toward the protection and preservation of the environment. Due to the country's effort to effectively manage their abundant protected areas, visitors are asked to pay a conservation exit fee at any of the exit or entry points. The proceeds from this fee goes to the Protected Areas Conservation Trust (PACT), which is then distributed and used to sustain the protected areas in Belize.

Press ReleasesBelize Unveils a $13.5 Million Sustainable Tourism Plan Set to Begin Mid-2009
Belize City, Belize – January 29, 2009
The Government of Belize (GOB) has committed to a four-year, $13.5 million dollar plan to promote and practice responsible tourism development in the country. The new sustainable tourism initiative outlines infrastructural projects that focus on the long-term preservation of Belize's stunning natural resources, as well as developments in four of the country's more popular tourism destinations, including San Ignacio in the Cayo District, Placencia in the Stann Creek District, San Pedro on Ambergris Caye and Belize City.
"Our focus is to help build Belize as an emerging destination in a responsible way, thereby setting the tone for future developments and advances throughout the country," said Tracy Panton, Director of Tourism for the Belize Tourism Board (BTB). "The initiatives presented in Belize's new plan will promote sustainability and foster mutually beneficial relationships between residents and investors."
In Belize City, infrastructural developments will include a pedestrian link from the cruise ship port to the city's downtown area, allowing locals to benefit from cruise tourism; as well as re-surfacing of the street, installation of wider sidewalks, lighting and landscaping. In Placencia, a natural disaster management plan will be put into place, along with the construction of an extended pier, allowing visiting yachts and boats to dock and access the area. In San Pedro, an outlet mall will be built on the western side of the town, which will create new jobs and local opportunities for growth. And, in San Ignacio, the sustainable tourism projects will focus on improving accessibility to, and preservation of, key archeological sites. In addition, a town cultural center will be developed to help tourists access all the services San Ignacio has to offer.
Home to over 600 species of birds, Belize offers some of the best bird-watching in the world. And, the national parks of Belize are great places to begin the adventure. With 66 percent of the country still forested, viewers can easily spot upwards of 50 species in a single outing. The following are some of the best places for bird-watching in Belize.
- Half Moon Caye Natural Monument: Half Moon Caye Natural Monument, which is situated in the southeast corner of Lighthouse Reef Atoll, is a beautiful bird sanctuary which was established in 1981 to protect the Red-footed Booby bird. Frigate birds, along with 97 other species, have been recorded on this small caye. Also on the island, bird watching platforms offer visitors amazing views high above the trees.
- Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary: Created especially for resident and migratory birds of Belize, Crooked Tree Wildlife Sanctuary is located 30 miles northwest of Belize City, just off of the Northern Highway. With inland lagoons and swamps, this amazing area supports a widely diverse population of birds, such as the massive Jabiru Stork, whose wingspan stretches to 12 feet.
- Mountain Pine Ridge: Three hundred square miles of forest make-up the magnificent Mountain Pine Ridge preserve, which is located south of the Western Highway in the Cayo District. Home to rare bird species such as the Orange-breasted Falcon, Rufous-capped Warbler and the Pine Siskin, and natural wonders such as the spectacular Hidden Valley Falls and Rio Frio Cave, this reserve is a must-see for anyone in the region.
- Blue Hole National Park: The beautiful Blue Hole National Park offers even more than the rare Keel-Billed Toucan, Red-Legged Honey Creepers and White Hawks that make their homes here. It also houses magnificent geological wonders, such as a sinkhole formed by a collapsed underground river channel. And, the steps of the Blue Hole lead into a 25-foot deep pool of cool turquoise water, surrounded by dense forest and hanging vines.
- Five Blues Lake National Park: The 10-acre Five Blues Lake National Park is surrounded by over 4,000 acres of limestone hills and tropical forests, and is home to 217 different species of birds. Forest trails crisscross throughout the park, leading to the caves and sinkholes that dot the landscape. As the first national park to be managed by a community-based organization, the park features camping sites and quaint bed & breakfasts established by local Belizeans for guests of the area to enjoy.
- Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary: Located off the Southern Highway in the Stann Creek District, the breathtaking Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary is situated among the shadows of the beautiful Maya Mountains. Originally established in 1984 as a jaguar preserve, it is now home to an extensive population of birds, mammals and reptiles.
- Mayflower Bocawina National Park: Experts have found 238 different types of birds in the lush jungle of Mayflower Bocawina National Park, which covers 7,000 acres of land. Motmots, great green macaws and toucans inhabit this jungle paradise located in the Stann Creek District, right off of the Southern Highway.
- Keel Billed Toucan: The national bird of Belize is easily recognized by its large bright colored bill, black feathers and yellow/green breast. Toucans live in holes found in the trees of Belize's rainforests, and fly in flocks of six or more.
- Harpy Eagle: This is one of the world's largest eagles, and has talons similar in size to a grizzly bear's, and a wing span of up to seven feet. Harpy eagles usually nest in large areas of untouched rainforest, but will venture into the open to prey on meals of sloths, monkeys and other animals.
- Heron: Herons are waterbirds, with long legs and necks, and come in a wide range of colors such as blue, gray, green, red and white. Two very sought after types of heron, the Agami and the Boat-billed heron, are found in Belize year-round
- Scarlet Macaw: This brightly colored species of parrot was once common in the pet trade; so much so, that it is now endangered. Macaws find sanctuary in the forests of Belize, and can fly up to 35 miles per hour. These picky eaters prefer certain types of tropical fruits, and will search vast areas of the forest to find specific plants.
- Motmots: The Blue-Crowned Motmot is a small, popular bird in the country, and is easily recognized by its long tail that is said to resemble a tennis racket. These birds thrive in the rainforest, and live high in the trees just under the canopy.
In addition to the magnificent Maya ruins that dot the Belizean countryside, the country has spectacular caves, reserves and sanctuaries which provide endless opportunities for exploration. The list below contains just a few of the amazing hiking sites Belize has to offer:
- Shipstern Wildlife Nature Reserve: Located near Corozal, in the northeast corner of Belize, Shipstern Wildlife Nature Reserve contains 32 square miles of forest, savanna and wetlands. These unspoiled habitats of well-known Belizean insects, birds and mammals consist of both hardwood forests as well as the rare Kuka Palm forest, the only dry forest of Belize. A butterfly aviary, botanical trail and natural history museum, along with magnificent trails located throughout the reserve, help tourists to become immersed in and appreciate Belize's jungle at a new level.
- Rio Bravo Conservation Area: Located just a short ride from the Mennonite community of Blue Creek, the fascinating Rio Bravo Conservation Area consists of captivating tropical rain forests, which hold over 200 species of trees and 12 endangered animal species. An incredible variety of animals also inhabit the area, including Belizean cats like jaguar and puma, howler monkeys and deer. Neighboring Blue Creek also houses around 400 species of birds, including the national bird – the Keel Billed Toucan.
- Hokeb Ha Cave and Tiger Cave: This cave located a 20-minute hike from the village of Blue Creek, and is accessed by swimming into the opening through a pool of cool water. Inside, visitors find stalactites and stalagmites, leading from one chamber to the next. Archaeologists have found many Late Classic ceramics, as well as an altar inside the cave, leading them to theorize that the Hokeb Ha cave was used specifically for ceremonial purposes. The calm water at the main entrance is perfect for a leisurely swim, and the one-of-a-kind view inside makes this a must-see.
- Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary: Southwest of Dangriga is the admired Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, consisting of 128,000 acres of extensive tropical trails and featuring the largest concentration of wild cats in the world. Known as one of the best areas in Belize for experiencing authentic jungle life, the Cockscomb Basin, situated at the base of the peaking Maya Mountains, was established in 1984 to protect its large population of wildlife that call it home. Lucky visitors will catch a glimpse of a jaguar, while most will encounter just their paw prints, along with numerous species of medicinal plants, mammals and birds which populate more than 20 miles of trails. Visitors to the Cockscomb Basin can also enjoy scenic views of the towering waterfalls, and explore via canoe, tube or kayak in the surrounding rivers and creeks.
|Sustainable Tourism Initiatives:
One of the underlying principles that guides the Belize Tourism Board is that sustainable tourism is a shared responsibility of the government of Belize, the private sector, civil society and the cruise lines. Each major stakeholder group has the ability to influence sustainable tourism in Belize, and, by working together, the stakeholder groups can increase the opportunities for positive impacts on tourism to help to ensure the long-term maintenance, protection and preservation of Belize's natural heritage.

This Mayan greeting is an honoring for each other and a statement of unity. What few understand is that In Lak'ech is not only a honorable Mayan greeting. It is a moral code. It is a way to live, with ALL forms of life in our world.When one lives the Mayan code of In Lak'ech, we understand that everything we do in this world affects all, either in a positive or negative way, depending on our actions and motivations."

Belize Zoo
Belize Zoo Director to Discuss SUNY Cortland-Belize Project on Oct. 27
Sharon Matola, director of the Belize Zoo and Tropical Education Center and an internationally renowned conservation biologist, will discuss her work with the zoo and her fight to save endangered habitats and species on Tuesday, Oct. 27, at SUNY Cortland.
Matola's talk, titled "One Woman's Fight To Save the Most Beautiful Bird in the World: The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw," begins at 7 p.m. in the Sperry Center, Room 204.
The zoo, which greets 15,000 school children a year, is one of the premier conservationist organizations operating in Belize. The zoo receives no government funding.
Over the past two decades, Matola and the zoo have become world famous for their focus on the restoration of the Harpy eagle species, the Central American macaw and jaguar habitat restoration. Her efforts to stop a large-scale dam project are documented in the book by Bruce Barcott, Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw: One Woman's Fight to Save the World's Most Beautiful Bird. Matola has visited SUNY Cortland previously to give the keynote lecture at the College's International Education Week.
Created under the auspices of the existing Cortland-Belize Partnership, the Belize Zoo Project was founded on the SUNY Cortland campus to help further develop the zoo. Supported by students, faculty and friends in the community, the project provides SUNY Cortland students and community members with opportunities to complete internships and do other kinds of meaningful volunteer work at the zoo.
"Ms. Matola visited briefly several years ago and not surprisingly was received enthusiastically by the College community," Pasquarello said. "Given the growing interest in environmental matters and in the kind of volunteerism that students are demonstrating towards the zoo, this is an appropriate and timely visit."
For a complete list of sponsors and more information about the Belize Zoo Project at SUNY Cortland, visit Pasquarello's zoo blog at TBZBlog.Blogspot.com. For more information about the lecture or benefit concert, contact Thomas Pasquarello at (607) 753-5772. For more information about the zoo, visit the Web site at www.belizezoo.org/zoo/zoo.html.

A UNHCR-chartered aircraft carrying emergency aid for thousands of displaced people landed on Monday, August 8th in the Somali capital of Mogadishu. It was the first UNHCR aid airlift to the beleaguered city in five years.
The Ilyushin IL-62 cargo plane, carrying more than 31 tons of shelter material and some 2,500 emergency assistance packages, flew in from Dubai, where UNHCR has an aid stockpile. The special packs include plastic sheeting for shelter, sleeping mats and blankets, jerry cans and kitchen utensils. The second flight is scheduled to arrive on Thursday with the third to follow next week.
UNHCR has been shipping its relief items to Mogadishu by sea and by land but, due to the dramatic rise in the number of civilians uprooted because of famine and conflict in recent weeks, the agency decided to airlift supplies and save time.
An estimated 100,000 Somalis, driven by drought and famine, have fled to Mogadishu over the past two months in search of food, water, shelter and other assistance. There were already more than 370,000 internally displaced people in Mogadishu before the current wave of displacement.
"This airlift of emergency assistance items will allow us to continue delivering aid to those displaced by drought and famine," said UNHCR Representative to Somalia Bruno Geddo. "We need the funding support to continue to enable us to replenish our emergency stocks inside Somalia as they are being rapidly depleted as we deliver much-needed aid across southern Somalia," he added.
UNHCR has appealed for $145 million to provide protection and emergency assistance for the displaced in the Horn of Africa until the end of the year. It has either received or has firm projections for $65 million. This amount covers less than 45% of identified needs for Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Djibouti.
The UN Refugee Agency is calling on donor countries, the private sector and individuals to urgently come forward and contribute towards closing the existing funding gap.

…to this. Starting across Geary with a cane, waaaaaay too late:
Assuming you start when it's legal, then tout le monde need to wait for you. But if you start too late then you're just another jaywalker.
I start late, sometimes. But I pay attention.
That's the difference.
This PIXELS movie looks absolutely dreadful already:
I decided that PIXELS will be a horrible movie after seeing this teaser poster and then reading about 14 words into this description:
When aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war, they attack the Earth using the games as models for their various assaults. President William Cooper (Kevin James) calls upon his childhood best friend, former 1980s video game champion Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), who is now a home theater installer and had a previous relationship with William's wife (Jane Krakowski) to lead a team of old-school arcaders (Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet.
So, Pac-Man attacking the GGB + Adam Sandler + 3D + 95% Want To See = HORRIBLE.
Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God. Amen.
Here it is, from just last week:
"We walked away from the logo itself in part because we knew that our broader communications strategy and the other elements of the visual identity system could advance without it. Being able to move on with other elements of our work and the rest of the visual system is actually a tribute to the symbol's success and our overall strategy."
To review, this was the reaction at the time.
Anyway, since the new logo got ashcanned, its proponents have gone on the road to sing its praises. Why? I don't know. How does this sort of thing benefit UC?
Now, here's the reaction from the designerly community. First from CCullen:
I don't buy the false narrative. This was a brand exercise that overreached and was as a result a complete failure. The notion that this design can be celebrated when not embraced has no understanding of the goal of branding in the university ecosphere–engagement is the sine qua non of a university brand, and in this case a university system brand. This is an Oscar nomination for a film that has never been released. The video was perfectly prescriptive–the traditional seal was doomed, and the rest is back tracking and hindsight. When it lives, celebrate it, until then just know it was an epic failure and a waste of scarce public funds.
I agree with CCullen. I attended the UC affinity session at the AIGA conference in Minneapolis and it was one of the most uncomfortable experiences I have had in the design world. What should have been a presentation about why the logo works for what their goals were turned into an hour long passive-aggressive temper tantrum that only fueled the fire of controversy. I will admit that the identity system as a whole is certainly successful. The promotional materials and such that went along with it were beautiful but I simply cannot get past the ridiculous logo.
From the Richmond District Blog comes news of tonight's Richmond District Democratic Club meeting regarding the horrible new bike lanes on JFK Jr Drive in Golden Gate Park.
Longtime area cyclist and capitalist running dog Steven T. Jones typifies the type of person who will most benefit from re-education via the corrupt SFMTA and the messianic San Francisco Bicycle Coalition. See?
"New JFK bike lanes are bad for everyone"
I'd post a photo but the SFMTA has me watching an educational movie, you know, A Clockwork Orange-style.
And they DID admit that some fine-tuning possibly might be in order.
And my restraints are actually quite comfortable.
Maybe these horrible, one-of-a-kind bike lanes aren't so horrible after all.
In closing, I Love Big Brother.
Reason One is that they think they're special, as if they're part of the solution and not part of the problem. This conceit is totally false. Oh well.
Reason Two is that they think that since they're special, then they can do whatever they want as long as they do it slowly. So, driving slowly at night without lights is OK, driving slowly through red lights is OK, driving the wrong way up one-way streets is OK – you get the idea.
Click to expand
Oh well.
Here it is, as promised, the Soogle Bus:
Click to expand
But uh oh, here's what you'll find these days on the Yelp:
"I've never even been on one of their buses, but I observed one of their drivers this evening on Hawthorne Street driving aggressively, honking the horn continuously at the car in front of him and overall behaving like a jerk."
"Although the shuttle and driver were booked for 8 hours, the shuttle driver refused to drive at points of the evening! At the end of the night, the driver tried to ask for more money than was agreed upon based on an old quote the company had given. I had to pull out my laptop to show him the email that his boss had sent me to prove that I did not need to pay him more."
"Horrible. This is NOT a real travel/ tour service. They constantly ask for more money and CASH. They are disrespectful and RUDE. They throw litter around, and stand around and smoke. They speak almost no English."
And that doesn't include the reviews what were taken down or the ones currently on the "filtered" page.
Poor Soogle!
Laura Hooper Back is in San Francisco Magazine these days saying how "The Room" is the "Best Worst Movie Ever."
But what about shot-in-Half-Moon-Bay "Birdemic: Shock and Terror?"
It's pretty bad/good itself. Check it.
Let's meet the director – the caption for this photo is "DIRECTOR JAMES NGUYEN MEETS DAVID LYNCH TO DISCUSS DIGITAL CINEMA"

Rah, rah, rah for these cheerleaders. They have the yells down pat and the butts so big. See for yourself!
It looks like ass-lovin' Tommy Byron is into his second (or third) childhood as he brings his fantasy of cheerleaders and large rears to sexual fruition.
Like a kid in a candy store and looking quite youthful, Byron begins by playing with pom-poms and spying with binoculars on Bobbi Starr as, freshly showered, she towels dry then dons her cheerleading outfit and delivers some up-the-skirt cheering that accentuates her derriere. She soon catches on to his voyeuristic, bespectacled butt-loving and he spends a considerable time with his face buried in her butt cheeks.
The other scenes bring in different guys and gals for similar fun—including lovely Austin Taylor, who winds up getting a dropped load on her butt from Nick Manning.

Handbook & When Children Grieve
Where were you when I needed you?
The saddest question we ever hear is, "Where were you when I needed you?"
That's what people ask when they find out what we do in helping grievers. We're presenting helpful and accurate information on this site, at the time you need it most, with the hope that you'll never need to ask that question.
It's an honor and a sad privilege to be addressing you, knowing that each of you has recently experienced the death of someone important to you. We also know some of you are reading this because of your care and concern for someone who is confronted by the death of someone important in their life.
We bring our personal experience in dealing with the deaths of people who were important to us, and our professional know-how in helping grievers for more than 30 years. We'll help you distinguish between the "raw grief" that is your normal and natural reaction to the death, and the equally normal "unresolved grief" that relates to the unfinished emotions that are part of the physical ending of all relationships.
A basic reality for most grieving people is difficulty concentrating or focusing. With that in mind, we asked Tributes.com to print our articles in a large type font to make them easier to read. Sharing our concern for grieving people, they agreed.
From our hearts to yours,

Time Doesn't Heal - Actions Do
I have heard that it takes two years to get over the death of a loved one, five years to get over the death of a parent, and you never get over the death of a child. Is this true?
It is impossible to answer that question without first debunking the phrase "get over."
You will never your child who died, nor would you forget a parent who died, or a spouse, a sibling, or anyone else with whom you had a meaningful relationship. Another problem is the arbitrary determination of time periods for grief corresponding to your relationship with the person who died.
Ask John & Russell – Telling children the truth about suicide of a parent — difficult but essential. (Published 7/19/2016)Q:
How and when do I truthfully answer questions from my grandson, age 9, about how his dad died? My son, physically sick, took his life (suicide) two years ago. His ex-wife — my grandson's mother — doesn't want him to know the truth. He thinks it was an "accident." This question may never come up from me to him, but if it does, later on, how do I answer his question? I have read the children's book "My Uncle Keith Died" by Carol Ann Loehr, et. al — and that may be helpful in explaining untreated depression that leads to suicide. But, I don't know what age is appropriate, if asked, and how to answer him, should he ask me. All other family members know the truth; his mother and her family keep it a secret and lie to him about it. Your insight and experience would be valuable. And I would be grateful.

Axed Factory Shows Task for Modi's China-Like Rail Revamp
Prime Minister Narendra Modi aims to transform India's railways with new track and high-speed trains. Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd.'s decision to scrap a $133 million factory for commuter coaches shows why he faces an uphill task.
The planned plant was axed due to a lack of demand from Indian Railways, said Ambuj Sharma, a Bharat Heavy board member in New Delhi. Building work didn't get far past a foundation stone laid last year and land earmarked for the factory in Rajasthan state is idle, according to Sharma.
The aborted plant shows how Indian Railways, whose network was developed partly under British colonial rule, struggles to fund upgrades because of pressure to curb ticket costs. The state-owned operator estimates pending projects need 5 trillion rupees ($83 billion), overshadowing Modi's fare increase and pledge to woo foreign investment since his election in May.
"The railways need to transition into a corporate structure which accounts for the cost of capital," said Jaijit Bhattacharya, a partner in the infrastructure and government services practice at KPMG in India. "If the government wants the railways to play a social role, it should allocate additional funds to it. Railways should not be treated as an arm of the government."
Modi, who won the Indian election by a landslide, has prioritized the modernization of a network where speeds for cargo trains can sometimes drop below walking pace.
Who Pays?
The plan includes adding track, building world-class stations, ramping up speeds to as much as 200 kilometers (124 miles) an hour, and, eventually deploying bullet trains. It also foresees transporting more freight, such as coal, on dedicated lines. The ambition echoes parts of China's railway revamp.
The question is whether Modi can find the money. About 825 million Indians live on less than $2 per day, according to World Bank data, limiting his room to keep boosting ticket prices.
Passenger fares went up about 14 percent last month and freight rates 6.5 percent. While the fare increase will generate 80 billion rupees extra revenue, introducing just one bullet train costs 600 billion rupees, Railway Minister D. Sadananda Gowda said July 8 in a yearly review of the network's finances.
Indian Railways, which traces its heritage back to 1853, predicts a surplus of 6 billion rupees after expenses on 1.6 trillion rupees of receipts in the year through March 2015.
Running costs from ferrying about 23 million passengers -- equivalent to Australia's population -- and 3 million tons of freight daily take up about 94 rupees of each 100 rupees earned.
'Huge Gap'
"This leaves a huge gap between what is available as surplus and what is needed," Gowda said in his review in parliament in New Delhi earlier this month.
The minister said freight rates have been kept high to compensate for below-cost passenger services.
That's pushed cargo onto roads. Just 31 percent of Indian freight travels by rail, down from almost 90 percent in 1950, data from Gowda and the United Nations shows.
"Some of our corridors are operating at nearly double their capacity, which leads to a very, very slow movement of goods," Alok Johri, who sits on Indian Railways' seven-member board, said at a conference in New Delhi on July 25. "We certainly have a problem with funds. That's the biggest problem we are grappling with."
Part of Modi's attempted solution to the challenge of finding money is a liberalization of railroad investment rules.
The nation is considering allowing foreign investment in new rail infrastructure, including the operation of high-speed trains, links to ports and freight corridors, Railway Board Chairman Arunendra Kumar said earlier this month.
Shopping Malls
Other steps include seeking more budgetary support from the government and asking beneficiaries of better rail links, such as ports and steel companies, to invest in track laying, said Anil Saxena, a spokesman for Indian Railways in New Delhi.
Free land is being sought from states for projects as new gauge will boost their growth, and Indian Railways could also develop shopping malls and hotels on the land it owns to spur revenues, he said. There's a focus on generating more advertising income and selling scrap too, Saxena said.
"Railways should significantly focus on non-ticket revenues," said KPMG's Bhattacharya. "For instance, stations are prime real estate. At the moment, the share of non-ticket revenues is minuscule."
The World Bank and Japan International Cooperation Agency are helping to fund construction of two railroads for freight.
Infrastructure Focus
The estimated project cost, except for one section of track, is about 815 billion rupees, Manoj Sinha, the junior railways minister, said in a written reply to a question in parliament.
Modi pledged about 1.48 trillion rupees in his first budget on July 10 for everything from highways and ports to housing, signaling his commitment to better infrastructure.
Even so, India's history of missed targets looms large.
For instance, the Bharat Heavy factory in Rajasthan was supposed to meet most of the demand for mainline electrical multiple units, a type of electric coach, according to a government release.
Elsewhere, only one of 99 proposed new lines have been completed in the past 10 years, according to Gowda. In Kolkata in eastern India, more than 80 percent of capacity at Titagarh Wagons Ltd., the nation's biggest wagon maker, was idle last year for lack of orders, its chairman J.P. Chowdhary said.
State-owned Bharat Heavy, whose shares fell as much as 1.7 percent today before closing 1.1 percent lower at 228.35 rupees, is shifting focus from railways.
The company boosted capacity at its locomotive plant in Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh state to 75 units a year from 50, "but there are no new orders," said Sharma, the board member.
"We are now looking at new areas of growth, such as solar and defense," he said.

Nicholls football holds 2012 banquet
Published: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 28, 2012 at 10:03 a.m.
THIBODAUX – The Nicholls State University football program held its annual banquet Monday night in the Bollinger Memorial Student Union, recognizing the squad members, letterwinners and its 2012 Senior Class.
Nicholls also handed out eight individual awards, headed by senior linebacker Jordan Piper who was named Norman Swanner Memorial Most Valuable Player for the second time in his career. It marked the third straight year that a defensive player has won MVP honors as Piper earned the award in 2010 before current Minnesota Viking defensive back Bobby Felder won it last season.
Piper led the Southland Conference in tackles with 10.2 per game, highlighted by his 23-tackle performance against Central Arkansas. With one game still on the schedule, he has 102 tackles which is the most for a Colonel since Lee Rogers had 114 in the 2000 season. Piper was recognized by his opponents as well, earning second-team All-Southland.
Receiving the 2012 Academic Award was sophomore wide receiver Josh Hanberry . Hanberry, majoring in business/law, had one of the team's best grade point averages with 3.91. A native of River Ridge. Hanberry was second on the team in receiving yards, finishing with 301 on 20 receptions.
Another sophomore, Davin Bovie, was selected as Outstanding Special Forces Player. Bovie, known to be one of the hardest hitters on the team, racked up 26 tackles on the year, playing on special teams and as a linebacker/defensive back.
Running back Marcus Washington was named Outstanding Offensive Player for the second consecutive season. As a junior, Washington ranks fourth in the Southland in rushing with 61.1 yards per game. Along with having 550 yards and six touchdowns on the ground, he was a key factor in the passing game, catching 25 balls for 167 yards.
Senior linebacker Kerry Guidry garnered Outstanding Defensive Player after ranking fourth on the team in tackles (46), despite missing two games due to injury. Guidry, a native of Houma, had two sacks, an interception and was credited with a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
The Model Student Athlete-Award went to senior kicker Ben Landry, also from Houma.
Landry handled the kickoff duties for the Colonels, and also tossed a 20-yard touchdown pass on a fake field goal. In the classroom, Landry had a 3.38 GPA as a nursing major.
New for 2012, the football program handed out three Band of Brothers Awards, which went to seniors Gerald Gruenig, Jesse Turner and Andrew Wynn. The award was created to honor players that displayed the attributes of being the ideal teammate.

Investigators at Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, have devised a new test for cystic fibrosis, based upon an analysis of the sodium and potassium concentration in finger and toe nails.
"Some might question the need for a new test for cystic fibrosis since the standard sweat test is one of the most reliable in medicine," Harry Shwachman, MD, told The Journal. "There is, however, need for a rapid screening procedure which can be applied to the newborn and for a test to detect the heterozygote or carrier of the CF gene.
A second test would also be helpful in confirming a diagnosis in patients with an equivocal sweat test.
The test devised by Shwachman and Louis Kopito, MS, a physicist at Children's Hospital, cannot in its present form be used for mass screening. "It is too difficult a procedure at present for use as a screening method," Shwachman said. "It

George Burger
Okay, I'm going to post a couple of links. Maybe they will help.
The first is basically an online copy of what I can access at the County Courthouse, listing Civil War vets. The one thing you need to take note of is that it was pretty common for 16-17 yr old boys to fudge their ages to 18, so they could enlist.
This second link is an online edition of Dunham's History of Jerauld County. (Published in 1910.) You can download it, or choose to read it online. I uploaded it to my Kindle. :) The fun thing about it is you can search for a specific name, ie Burger. There is some info about what his occupation was and so forth. Just a bit interesting!
Hope these help!

George Burger
In response to your photo request for George Burger. this is the only marker in Prospect Hill. I didn't create the memorial, but all the information I have is vague on his birth date. It varies from 1844 to 1846. The military records state that he was born in 1845, for instance, as does the 1910 census.
There are only 2 plot records on file for George Burger, adjoining, one for his wife Eliza, and one for him. There are no other Burgers buried in Prospect Hill other than these two.
There's a mistake somewhere, but the photograph is what it is. Just one of the quirks of cemeteries and older markers.
I'll keep checking, hopefully I can find an obit, but since I've photographed the entire cemetery, I'm for certain my photo is correct. Please let me know if you need anything else!

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 5:02 PM GMT on December 31, 2005
It's fitting that the unbelievable Hurricane Season of 2005 will only end when the calendar flips a page at midnight tonight, officially ending the most destructive and prolific Atlantic hurricane season on record. When I wrote my first blog of hurricane season on June 8 about Arlene, little did I suspect that I'd be toiling away on New Year's Eve seven months and 27 storms later, talking about Tropical Storm Zeta!
So here we go, the last blog on the Hurricane Season of 2005. Zeta briefly flirted with hurricane status last night, when an eye-like feature developed and a Central Dense Overcast (CDO) feature characteristic of hurricanes formed over the center. This morning, however, shear from powerful westerly winds has disrupted the eyewall and exposed the center. Zeta has deep convection only on its northeast side, and is struggling to hold onto that. Wind shear is about 25 knots and is expected slowly increase over the next two days as the storm tracks slowly westwards, and the shear should be able to tear the storm apart by Tuesday. However, the GFDL model is forecasting that Zeta will overcome this shear and strengthen to hurricane status as it recurves northwards on Monday and Tuesday.
So, it appears likely that we'll ring in the New Year with a tropical storm, the second time that has occurred. In 1954, Hurricane Alice also was around at midnight on New Year's eve, ringing in the new year of 1955. It's interesting to note that there were two storms named Alice in 1954. Alice 1 formed in June of 1954. Alice 2 formed on December 30, and should have been given the name Irene, but was not officially recognized as a tropical cyclone until January 1, 1955, when it was given the name Alice as the first storm of 1955 (they used the same list of names each year back then). When it was discovered during post-storm analysis that the storm had actually formed on December 30, it kept the name Alice, but was designated as part of the 1954 hurricane season. Most reports called this storm Alice 2 in order to avoid confusion with the earlier Alice from 1954.
Happy New Year, everyone, and I'll be back to update the hurricane season of 2006 tomorrow!

Lufthansa Scraps Flights Amid Strikes at German Airports
Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Europe's second-largest airline, has canceled 30 percent of flights scheduled for March 27 as a walkout by trade unions demanding higher pay at German airports grounds part of its fleet.
The carrier has listed 537 flights as canceled on its website for tomorrow, out of a schedule to operate about 1,800 connections on a Thursday. It also scrapped 50 operations scheduled for today and some for March 28.
The Ver.di union is taking protests for higher wages for about 2.1 million employees in Germany's public sector to airports, with strikes at seven of the country's largest airfields. The union demands 3.5 percent higher pay, plus a raise of 100 euros ($138) per month. Frankfurt and Munich, Lufthansa's main German hubs, both face disruptions, and the union said it expects about 1,400 employees in Frankfurt, Europe's third-largest hub, to participate.
"Again a conflict over tariffs is fought at the expense of passengers," Michael Hoppe, general secretary of the Board of Airline Representatives in Germany, said in a statement. "We have no understanding for this reckless strike. It seeks greatest possible publicity and exclusively hurts third parties not involved."
Hospitals, Waste
Last month, security personnel striking for higher pay in a separate conflict had Frankfurt's airport operator lock out departing passengers as safety checkpoints couldn't operate, followed by disruptions caused by several days of air traffic controllers striking in some European countries.
The February walkout reduced Lufthansa's operating profit by about 3 million euros, the company has said. It pared February passenger growth in Frankfurt by about one-third to 1.8 percent, Fraport Chief Executive Officer Stefan Schulte said.
The Ver.di union is also staging strikes at hospitals, child care, public transport and at waste disposal services across the country after two rounds of negotiations had not yet lead to an agreement.
At Frankfurt airport, ground- and baggage handling as well as maintenance and repair activities will be affected. Airport firefighters will maintain an emergency service, the union has said, preventing a shutdown of the hub.
Airports in Cologne, Dusseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover and Stuttgart are also affected. Operators are advising travelers to check the status of their flights before heading to the airport, and Lufthansa is offering free re-booking of flights.
Lufthansa is also facing a walkout by its pilots, which have voted in favor of a strike in a dispute over pay and retirement benefits after 2 years of negotiations. A walkout may come at any time, the pilots' union has said.

Morgan Stanley Says PBOC Has Changed Yuan Language
Morgan Stanley said that China's central bank changed language relating to yuan policy in its latest monetary policy report, signaling its intention to let the yuan appreciate.
Policy makers plan to further improve the managed float exchange-rate regime and keep the currency broadly stable "based on market demand and supply, and with reference to a currency basket," the People's Bank of China said in the outlook section of a quarterly statement today. The previous report called for improving policies in a "controllable" and "gradual" manner.
"The change is big, it's huge," said Wang Qing, chief economist for Greater China in Hong Kong at Morgan Stanley. "They haven't used this language of saying the currency should be determined on a currency basket, and determined by market demand and supply and a managed-float exchange regime. This language has been missing for many reports."
China halted the currency's 21 percent, three-year advance against the dollar in July 2008 to help exporters weather recessions in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Officially its exchange-rate regime still involves managing the exchange rate against a basket of currencies including the euro and the Japanese yen.
Export Gain
Before the statement, yuan forwards strengthened the most this year after China reported a pickup in exports, fanning optimism policy makers will let the currency appreciate. Exports rose 30.5 percent in April from a year earlier, the customs bureau said today, exceeding the previous month's 24.3 percent gain and the 28.9 percent forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists.
Twelve-month non-deliverable forwards gained 0.5 percent to 6.6778 per dollar as of 5:50 p.m. in Hong Kong, reflecting bets the currency will strengthen 2.2 percent from the spot rate of 6.8265, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That's the biggest increase since Dec. 22.
The yuan's 12-month forwards also climbed after European Union finance ministers announced an aid package worth as much as 750 billion euros ($962 billion). Interest-rate swaps increased before inflation data is released tomorrow.
China had a trade surplus of $1.68 billion last month, the customs bureau said, compared with a deficit of $7.24 billion in March. Economists forecast a shortfall of $550 million, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey.
Banks have interpreted shifts in language before only to be proved wrong. The central bank scrapped the pledge to keep the yuan "basically stable" in its quarterly monetary policy report on Nov. 11. Subsequent reports included the language again.

Newfoundland and Labrador Route 341
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Route 341 in Newfoundland and Labrador leads from Stanhope, just outside Lewisporte, Newfoundland and Labrador to Laurenceton, Newfoundland and Labrador. The highway is relatively short and there aren't many communities along the way. The road is notoriously hilly and turny, ending in a large dip into Laurenceton. The highway is the only route for residents of Laurencton to travel to Lewisporte for work.

Why the Hippo Roller?
Water Crisis
750 million people in Africa and Asia struggle daily to access water. Water collection points are often located far away from their homes: 2 – 10 km. This is typically done with heavy 20 litre buckets balanced on their head.
Simple Solutions
The Hippo Roller enables women, children and the elderly to collect up to 5x more water than a single bucket. Users simply roll the Hippo Roller along the ground. It improves water access, food security and income generation.

Q: Can I use the iPhone stereo headset to control (play pause) my iPod touch or iPod nano?
- Stefan
A: Unfortunately, no. The iPhone stereo headset has additional connectors for a microphone and iPhone control channel that are not present on the other iPod models. There are basically no inputs in the headphone jack to provide any kind of remote control capability.
To provide remote control of an iPod device, you will need an accessory that uses the Dock Connector such as the Apple FM Radio Remote (iLounge rating: A-).

- epidemiological study
Reasons for performing study: Weight loss despite a good appetite is a frequent diagnostic challenge for equine veterinarians; however, there are few objective reports and little descriptive information regarding risk factors and prognostic indicators.
Objectives: To provide a descriptive epidemiological analysis of horses evaluated for weight loss despite a good appetite and evaluate relationships between historical and clinicopathological findings and final outcome (survival vs. nonsurvival) to identify risk factors and prognostic indicators.
Methods: Medical records of horses referred for investigation of weight loss despite a good appetite were reviewed. Data collated included history, case details, clinical and diagnostic findings, diagnoses and outcome. Univariable associations were evaluated with a Mann–Whitney U test (continuous data), Fisher's exact test (categorical or binary data) or Pearson's rank correlation (continuous data), with P≤0.05 significant.
Results: Forty cases met the inclusion criteria. Total protein (P = 0.004) and albumin concentrations (P = 0.0008) at admission were higher in survivors than nonsurvivors, with total protein (r2= 0.31; P = 0.002) and albumin (r2= 0.36; P = 0.0002) positively correlated with outcome. Hypoproteinaemic (P = 0.008, odds ratio (OR) = 12, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.99–72.4) and hypoalbuminaemic (P = 0.0009, OR = 28, 95% CI = 2.94–266.6) animals were at greater odds for nonsurvival. Body condition score was positively correlated with total protein (r2= 0.16; P = 0.05) and albumin (r2= 0.53; P<0.0001) concentrations at admission and duration of clinical signs (r2= 0.19; P = 0.03).
Conclusions: The severity of hypoproteinaemia and hypoalbuminaemia were related with nonsurvival. Body condition score and albumin concentration could potentially be used as prognostic indicators for survival.
Potential relevance: These findings highlight the importance of body condition assessment in conjunction with clinicopathological evaluation in horses with weight loss despite a good appetite.

Book Review: Gateway: Visions for an Urban National Park

"Wild urban nature is not the image that immediately springs to mind when most people consider New York City and its metropolitan area. Yet stretches of wild vegetation, diverse animal habitat, sandy shorelines and more "nature" make up a sizable and important part of the city and surroundings."

"Just moved to a new city and wanted calling cards to share new information. Also added a list of my 12 favorite books to the back of the card being a bibliophile and often meeting with other book lovers. Lots of compliments on these sweet and fun cards!"
"I am happy with my business cards. This is my 2nd time ordering my design. The only thing I would 'tweak' a bit is to have the font a bit larger. Other than that, these cards are lovely & the customer service is superb!"
"I am very picky about business card styles, but I fell in love with this card when I saw it online, and even more when it arrived. The colors and simplicity; it really is beautiful. I got the glossy paper, and the colors almost shimmer. I always receive compliments on my card. I will be reordering."
"I really love the design of this card! It has such pretty colors with just the right amount of text. The colors are catchy yet calming. I am very happy with these cards!"
"I was concerned that the typeface might be a bit small, but it all looks great. Very professional, and a bit swish also. I could not be happier."
