It seems 2011 was a big year for recycling!
Judy Bowles is the director of Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful.
She says they average 150 visitors to their Meredyth Drive drop-off location alone.
Bowles says more than the fliers they send out once a year in Water Gas and Light bills, the word gets out through the younger generation.
"We promote it in our school system so our young people go home and tell mom and daddy that they need to be recycling."
They also have drop off sites behind the civic center and in East Albany on Thornton Drive.
The Meredyth Drive site is open six days a week.
For more information on drop off sites, call KADB at 229-430-5257.

Day of the Dead Collector's Gallery
The three skeleton spirit bakers are busy at work making the traditional and iconic "bread of the dead" (pan de muerto). There's a lot of story being told in this retablo. As you open the doors, you see the skeletons in their baker's hats, forming the bread into bone shapes before sliding them into the stone oven. Every aspect of this nicho is beautifully executed with mounds of bread, detailed skeleton & delightful paint job. This piece is a collector's dream. Very limited quantities. 4" wide x 5 1/2" high x 2" deep. Peru
A5150 $90 each (out temporarily)
These spectacular piece of folk art are the original creation of Mexico City artist Rafael Rodriguez. He carves and makes many of the furniture and mini elements inside these beautifully handcrafted retablos. Scenes are extremely well detailed and are a showcase piece for any collector, restaurant or museum. These diorama type retablo scene boxes were first made by 19th-century resident nuns in the Santa Monica convent in Puebla. Wood with glass. Because of the fragility of these pieces, they should be picked up at our warehouse. Please contact us for details.

This happy couple is leaving for their honeymoon. Our wonderfully talented, young folk artist in Puebla made these tin bicycles by hand. We can't keep them in stock!

It's rare to find a papier mâché piece as good as these! One of my favorites! The pieces are over 2 feet tall and command a room with excitement, color & classic Mexico "tipico".
Everyone's heard of the Mexican Hat Dance, but the real name of the national dance of Mexico is called the Jarabe Tapatio, which originated in the state of Jalisco. After the Revolution in 1921, a group of nation builders and in particular Jose Vasconcellos, instituted many ideas to create "National Identity" for their war torn country. They decided this dance would be learned by school children all over Mexico. This iconic image of a beautiful woman dancing in a full dance skirt has been immortalized on labels, neon Mexican restaurant signs, cigar boxes, text books, travel posters and a myriad of items.
This beautiful set of papier mache skeletons reflect the nostalgia for Revolutionary times in skeleton form. The pieces are sold separately so you can buy just the woman if you like. A great piece for any collection or ofrenda. If you have a couple color preferences, mention it in the ORDER NOTES upon checkout.
Large papier mâché, 26" tall. Fun & Collectible!

Arlington Properties is ready to move forward with a $20 million apartment-to-condo project to be known as The Hill on the site of what's left of the old Homewood Gardens apartments.
The Homewood City Council could decide as soon as Monday to approve an amended development plan for the five-acre site, clearing the way for the 122-unit development at Oxmoor Road and 19th Street.
Plans for The Hill call for studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments that will turn into for-sale condos when the housing market fully recovers, according to Kent Graeve, president of Arlington.
The Hill, designed by Charlan Brock & Associates of Maitland, Fla., will link four new buildings ranging in height from two to four stories and will include a pool and other amenities.
The Hill will stand across 19th Street from Hallman Hill, the $35 million condo and retail project that Arlington completed last year. Hallman Hill has 72 condos and 9,000 square feet of retail space.
Jim Dixon, executive vice president of development at Arlington, said The Hill will cater to a different resident and is meant to complement its Homewood neighbor.
"The Hill is designed to be more attractive to the young professional who likes living close to all of the amenities at Soho and downtown Homewood but also wants to be close to where they work at UAB or downtown," Dixon said.
The Hill also will be a larger development, with five acres compared to Hallman Hill's three.
But the two developments will have some things in common.
Developer: Arlington Properties
Investment: $20 million
Size: 122 units in four buildings on five acres
Location: Oxmoor Road and 19th Street in Homewood
Units: 14 studio; 27 one-bedroom; 72 two-bedroom; nine three-bedroom
Amenities: Pool, fitness center, courtyard, clubhouse
Construction start: February 2011
Completion: Summer 2012
Land planner and landscape architect Dix Lathrop is designing the pool area and courtyard. Lathrop's design of the courtyard at Hallman Hill captured the National Gold Award for "Best Outdoor Living Space" at the National Association of Homebuilders' International Builders Show in Las Vegas in January.
The rising of The Hill will mean the falling of the last section of Homewood Gardens. Graeve said the remaining residents of the apartments there have been converting to short-term leases for the last six months and the expectation is that 10 or fewer of them will have leases that are supposed to run into February 2011, when Arlington hopes to break ground on the development.
Graeve said Arlington considered renovating Homewood Gardens, but both the exterior and interior were too outdated and the concrete walls inside made changing the floor plans impossible.
"We realized the functional obsolescence of it and gave up on renovation and decided to do something new," Graeve said.
But why now?
"We feel like with fewer homes being built and other factors, the next five years are going to be great for apartment buildings," Graeve said. "We felt like it was important to have The Hill complete and available for those looking to rent and then we can move towards condominium sales when the time is right."
At Hallman Hill, condo sales were slow initially but have picked up since March, Graeve said. Arlington has sold five condos in the last month with around 25 remaining for sale, he said.
With Hallman Hill, Soho Square, Aloft hotel and other recent developments in downtown Homewood, Graeve said Homewood Gardens is one of the last sites in the city in need of updating.
"If you were to pick a property here along Oxmoor Road for a new development, you would pick the Homewood Gardens site," he said.
Graeve said the Homewood Planning Commission approved plans for The Hill last month in a 9-0 vote. He said the City Council could approve or deny the plan Monday night or assign it to a committee for further review.
But he hopes the plan is approved to allow the company to move forward with its timetable of demolishing Homewood Gardens in February. After that, a 16-month construction schedule could have the first apartments up for lease in early 2012 and The Hill completed by that summer.
Arlington Construction will build The Hill. Hatch Mott MacDonald is engineer on the project.

The immigration bill passed what they're calling a 'test' vote in the Senate on Monday and some think it's well on its way to clearing the chamber.
After a lengthy debate, the Senate approved an amendment that would require 20 thousand additional agents as well as more fencing along the border and more than three billion dollars in technology upgrades.
Proponents say thanks to the amendment, the Senate is one step closer to passing the bill entirely.
"This immigration reform was based on four pillars and border security was one of those, without it, to have a porous border would kind of nullify all the benefits we're trying to get out of this reform" said Jose Campos, an immigration attorney and Immigration Committee Chair for OFA.
Monday night, immigration attorneys Campos, Raymond Lahoud and Kevin Santos took part in a panel discussion to help further people's knowledge on the bill and why they believe it's needed.
The Lehigh Valley Chapter of Organizing for Action opened the event with a short documentary film titled 'The Dream is Now' showing the faces of immigration, and had the three experts to address the issue as well as what's happening in the Senate.
"It's never going to be perfect for anybody and that's just the legislative process so we have to accept a little give and take but in the end I think it's going to greatly benefit everyone," said Campos.
Regardless, some in the Senate still don't believe the latest amendment is enough.
"There are many senators it seems in this body perhaps on both sides of the aisle that very much want a fig leaf, they want something that they can claim we are supporting border security when in fact this bill does not," said U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

Hi Cat. Welcome. Sounds like you are doing well. Yes, walking is essential. Sitting too long is deadly. Gotta move.
Let's get started.
Isisinabi, aka Angry cat, and I been doin paleo for about 3 weeks now. I decided that 6/18/12 was going to be my first day though, and have decided to start putting my thoughts online for whatever reason. So first, an introduction.
So yes, I am known as Angrycat (NOT a real cat, sadly). I am a 31 year old female who wasted both her teen years and all her 20s being fat, angry at myself for being fat, and putting myself in a small corner with a cupcake and some Prozac. There's nothing quite right about feeling like you constantly are on the brink of ending things because you can't let go of the "baby fat". I stumbled upon this basically because I knew something was out there that made sense, all this other crap just had to be wrong. I ate whole grains like I was told, I ate exactly 1500 calories like my doctor told me to, and I worked out 5 days a week, trying so desperately to get it all off and nothing worked. I stayed around 315 regardless of what I tried.
Since beginning paleo, I have gone from 315 to 300. I can't imagine what it's going to be like not being over 300 pounds.
So here is what I wrote 6/18/12:
I feel pretty strong. Not tired all day, contacts upsetting my eye but nothing to do with diet. I have been eating eggs (3), spinach and mushrooms for breakfast. Today I parked at the end of the parking lot to walk as far as I can today. Going to start doing that everyday. I know I am not supposed to workout yet but I need to walk. I also need to take my iron and B12, and my fish oil for the fats. I need to have a good guide for a weekly recipe list. Lunch was leftover pork sirloin cooked in chicken stock, with green beans and kale. I had a slice of peach which was very tart but good. Still wonder if I eat enough.
6:57: slightly tired, want some tea. The walk helped me wake up a lot. Been feeling warmer lately.
9:16: really hot. Probably burning something off.
9:48: really hot again. went for an 8 minute walk around the block. Hot as hell. I need to run or something, my energy is off the hook. Kinda hungry so I nommed some almonds.
Still 302lbs.
1 boiled egg +5 pieces of bacon for breakfast.
2 eggs lunch and chicken breast.
4 almonds
4 blueberries.
Walked today, 15 minutes. I got 126 bpm
Still 302lbs
I had 2 burgers minus bun and cheese for dinner last night. Got really really sleepy. Woke up to 2lbs lighter! WOO 300!
Lunch 2 hamburgers, almonds.
1st break, walked for 15 minutes, 153bpm
I worry about a lot of things when it comes to paleo eating. Am I doing it right? Am I walking enough? Am I eating right? Will this be the thing I need to finally be normal. Although I feel like it's too late.
Dinner will consist of eggs and bacon, I don't want any vegetables and I'm really really exhausted. I might go to bed in the next hour.

My MDA Friday success story - Stubborn Senior's Testimonial
So over the weekend I broke my diet. We moved, and even though i lifted MANY heavy things, I blew it. So whenever we move we always use up all the food the week before, and buy new stuff after it was over. I did pretty good the first day, my boyfriend (who thinks paleo is dumb), had pizza. I had plain chicken wings. The next day, I had steak and eggs from Perkins. That night I had tea and steak tips and eggs from IHOP. I thought that would be a great thing. But later that night, I had orange juice (our fridge broke and that's all that was cool plus our filter was in a box somewhere). I had been drinking nothing but water up until then. That Sunday morning I had 3 cinnamon rolls. Later that night I had a small Oreo mint blizzard. I woke up to being 6 pounds heavier. So basically I get to restart again. *Yay. I knew I was going to mess up, not even really making it that far.
In any case, I'm tired of lookin up paleo stuff. I was reading and listening to podcasts about it and I'm done for now. I can't be part of "the community" until I lose the weight, and people who are already successful seem to be anti-fat (as are most fit people I've had the "pleasure" of talking to lately, so I'm done thinking about it too much. I'll be recording my walkin and my weight-if it ever drops again-and that's about it.*
Oh I'm not in the mood to eat so no food since steak on tuesday night.*
So today I feel terrible. I feel like I want to puke, I'm exhausted, and I really don't find anything tasty nor agreeable. I'm starving but the only thing I want is a slice of pizza. I started to feel like this last night after eating leftover salmon last night. I started to eat some at lunch today but didn't finish. This salad (onion, tomato, lettuce and olive oil vinaigrette) is doing nothing for me. I'm going to finish it regardless.
Now my hunger is still there, I feel tingly and exhausted all over. I didn't eat breakfast this morning, yesterday I had eggs and bacon but I didn't even feel like finishing. I'm starving and I think I may not make it through the day without eating something else and something bad. Oh also I'm at 302.7 lbs

I am both into fat acceptance and paleo--there are some of us out there if also an awful lot obsessed with being skinny. I didn't even read the thread about fat acceptance; by how fast it grew I knew it would be hateful. So welcome, and I hope you can focus on getting healthy and not worry too much about your weight. I first went low carb when I had been diagnosed with diabetes, and after many years of refusing to feel deprived, so it was easier for me because I had a goal other than weight (to get my A1c under 6). Switching from general low carb to primal was easy.
Do you need to put off going primal seriously until you get settled in your new digs? It might be too much stress right now. But if you do feel ready to start, my suggestion would be to focus on primal foods that are treats and not worry about calories at least until you are over the low carb flu and cravings. Eat bacon, cheese, snack on nuts. Get yourself shifted over to eating no grains and no PUFA oils, spend a couple of weeks there until you notice how much better you feel, and then adjust you calories or what you eat to figure out what works for you.

I woke up Sunday morning to be under 300lbs for the first time in 5 years. Granted its barely, at 298 but my gods. I can't describe this feeling. I'm trying to not get overly excited and to not freak myself out. I have been eating pork roast with sautéed onions and collard greens since Sunday. Saturday I had spinach and plain wings from papa johns. Weekends I tend to not eat much. I am not quite sure what to say really. I am more flabbergasted that sOmething is finally working for me and I kind of want to yell it out. But I won't
I want to increase my walkin and exercise but I need to see my doctor about my feet. My family has a history of bad toes and have all had to have surgery to fix them. I know I will. I can lift now but walking may be out for a bit. At least fast walking like I have been. I'll have to ask my doctor about viibrams.

So I discovered that the feeling I was getting the other few days was carb flu or what my brain has been calling "the milk sick" (from Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter...great book). I had been starving, but nothing appetizing. Everything I normally love felt gross to me, and I was exhausted. Headaches, threw up, mood swings...my mom thought I was pregnant. I asked her why she would wish such ill will towards me. Today, I feel fine. Energy is back, I'm not 100% energetic like I been before the carb flu but it's getting close. Being under 300lbs is making me feel pretty freakin wonderful. I know I have so far to go to be under 200 but I need to keep my head up.
Any accomplishment is a good accomplishment. There is something I want to find out about.
I know what I want out of my body. But, I doubt very much it's something I can accomplish. If I had started when I was a child maybe, but at 31? All is but lost. I don't know of any specific athletes who do what I want to be able to do, as being such a fat person I try to stay away from learning too much about athletes (as most athletic people I have met through my current college attempt have looked at me in disgust), but I know that if properly trained, the human body can be amazing. Basically what I wanted to be able to do is a combination of parkour and long distance running. I want to be able to run at a not sprinting pace but a pretty fast pace, and be able to hop around on top of stuff and through stuff. Of course I want to be able to do all of this and put on a bikini and not feel like I'm a walking elephant seal. It's funny how much I really want that, and I wonder if that is more of what is fueling me than anything else. I used to feel strong when I was a teen and a dancer, even though I was still fat. I was so in control of where my body was (just not in control of my health) when I danced that it almost felt like I was a cat, pouncing here and there. I do miss that a lot. I guess if I just get that back I should feel happy.

I'm not sure the DOT's recent reversal will mean the cause of banning peanuts is dead. Far from it. The allergy sufferers and their parents are likely to lobby the government until it does something about peanuts. So at some point, we'll have to decide whether planes should go peanut-free.
Do you suffer from peanut allergies? If so, how do you travel by air? Do you think mandating that airlines carry Epipen autoinjectors is an acceptable "middle ground" in this debate — or should the nuts be tossed altogether.
And to those of you who enjoy snacking on cashews, almonds and peanuts in-flight (full disclosure: I am one of them) — would you mind giving up your nuts when you fly?
Please take the survey or leave a comment with your opinion. Keep it clean, folks.

Well, the dominant profile among cyclists is still "young men riding race bike". But, it is now diversifying quickly and "citizen cyclists" are enjoying more and more the streets of SF, steep or flat.
Whatever the district, cyclists are reclaiming the streets:
Skirt & bike race on Polk Street
One saddle for two to ride on Valencia Street (Mission)
Shopping with a cruiser on Marina
Hipster in Mission
Woolly hat & tank top on Aquatic Park
More cyclists from SF here.

Prince Harry, home from his military mission to Afghanistan, says he hopes to be on the front lines again as soon as possible.
Harry returned to England, Saturday, after his secret deployment to the volatile Helmand province in Afghanistan was cut short. Military officials were concerned the 23-year-old prince could become a "bullet magnet."
His tour of duty, due to last until April, came to an abrupt end after a magazine and Web sites disclosed details of his whereabouts.
"I'm back here now and I suppose deep down inside it's quite nice, I'm looking forward to having a bath," Prince Harry said. "I would like to have stayed back with the guys."
Harry was responsible for coordinating air strikes against the Taliban, and even engaged in gunfights against Taliban fighters.
He said he was realistic about the consequences of fighting against the Taliban.
"You do what you have to do, what's necessary to save your own guys," he said. "If you need to drop a bomb, worst case scenario then you will, but then that's just the way it is."
Harry said a number of wounded troops were transported home on his flight back to Britain.
"The bravery of the guys out there was humbling," he said.
Gen. Sir Richard Dannatt, head of Britain's army, said there is no immediate prospect of the prince returning to the front line for 12 to 18 months.
"Actually, the immediate prospect of Prince Harry going anywhere else is some way off in the future," he said, explaining that the prince has a usual rest period and then a number of training and regimental commitments.
Other royals have also seen combat - most recently the prince's uncle, Prince Andrew, who flew Royal Navy helicopters during the 1982 Falklands War. Their grandfather, Prince Philip, served on Royal Navy battleships during World War II.

The Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) infrared-dark clouds (IRDCs) are a population of a few thousand molecular cores that have been identified by their substantial mid-infrared (8-25 \mum) extinctions in the MSX Galactic Plane survey images (Egan et al. 1998, ApJL, 494, L199). Subsequent observations have revealed IRDCs to contain cold (T < 15 K), dense (n ~ 106 cm-3) molecular gas (Carey et al. 1998, ApJ, 508, 721). The IRDCs are distributed along spiral arms and are located near but do not contain star formation tracers such as HII regions and H2O maser emission. Continuum maps at 450 and 850 \mum taken with SCUBA on the JCMT reveal bright knots of emission within the envelope of emission associated with the IRDCs. Many IRDCs are filamentary in nature. The bright emission knots have HCO+ and CO line profiles indicative of outflow and/or infall with several sources exhibiting the blue-red asymmetry characteristic of infall. The IRDCs appear to be large, cold molecular cores in the earliest stages of star formation. We present a detailed comparison of the extinction at 8 \mum derived from the soon-to-be released MSX Galactic Plane survey images (~18'' resolution) to the 450/850 \mum emission (14'' resolution). The morphologies of the submillimeter emission and mid-infrared extinction are in good agreement. From the comparison, we will determine the dust column density and constrain dust temperature and emissivity. In addition, we present very recent polarimetric imaging of IRDCs at 850 \mum. A relatively high degree of polarization at 850 \mum is seen, suggesting that a well-ordered magnetic field may be present within most IRDCs. In general, the magnetic fields thread the filaments with a more complicated structure near the embedded sources. We will examine the structure of the magnetic field and the star formation properties of IRDCs using the mid-infrared and submillimeter images, submillimeter polarimetry and CO and HCO+ line maps.

The Celebs Come Out in Support of Batkid!Suzanne Jannese
Holy cow! Is Ben Affleck worried about the competition? Does Christian Bale wish he had taken some tips from Batkid?
The celebs came out on Twitter to tweet their support of Batkid, the mini superhero who saved Gotham earlier this week.
The Batkid story, where 5-year-old Miles Scott had his dream of being a superhero made real by the Make a Wish foundation, touched the hearts of everyone across the globe — including Batman-in-waiting (reprising the role for the Man in Steel sequel) Ben Affleck, and Batman of the Nolan trilogy, Christian Bale. Affleck tweeted: "Batkid. Best Batman ever. #SFBatkid #Makeawish." Meanwhile, in a interview with Vulture, Bale said, "Wasn't that fantastic? It's so touching!"
Tim Burton's Batman, Michael Keaton, also joined in the praise, saying, "Batkid is awesome!"
Meanwhile, actress Elizabeth Banks tweeted, "Isn't he a ROCKSTAR?" Enrique Iglesias also praised the pint-sized superhero, tweeting, 'This is amazing. Way to go Miles, Batkid saves the day!" Other celebrities to share the joy were Anna Kendrick, who sweetly tweeted, "I just read about Batkid and am IMMEDIATELY in tears!" New dad Nick Lachey was also emotional, tweeting, "As a new dad, I am so moved by Batkid and all the volunteers who are helping bring his wish to life. Awesome!" Alyssa Milano supported the Make a Wish foundation by tweeting to her followers, "You can Donate to help @MakeAWish for others to come true #SFBatkid."
Perhaps Zachary Levi summed it up best when he tweeted, "Mind Blown. Heart melted. Smile permanently glued to my face. Giant props to @Make A Wish and city of SF."
Ben Affleck, take note — if you want your Batman to have heart, look no further than Miles!

France signs an offensive and defensive alliance with the Ottoman Turks, focused against their common enemy Emperor Charles V. At the time, this treaty across religious boundaries was viewed as scandalous and opportunistic in Europe, at a time when the Pope was still calling for the continent's powers to rally together in a crusade against the Turkish 'infidels'.

Allergies Health Center
What's Stopping You? continued...
In addition, allergies cause fatigue and tend to impact sufferers' sleep. "When they go to bed, they want to sleep, not be amorous," Benninger says of people with hay fever.
Allergies also affect people's ability to smell. "We all know that smell and pheromones are a big part of sexuality, even in humans," Benninger says. It would follow, therefore, that if a person can't smell, their interest level in sex might decrease.
"It makes sense," Benninger says. "But nobody has ever talked about it. They always talk about other symptoms and activity. This is the first time that there has ever been a large-scale study showing that it makes a difference."
If your sex life has been put on ice because of nasal allergies, here's good news: You don't have to limit your lovemaking to the seasons when your allergies don't flare. Allergy treatments have come a long way, and help is available.
Avoid the Problem
"Avoidance is probably the first and most important treatment of allergies," Benninger says. Figure out what you're allergic to and take steps to avoid it. An allergist can perform testing, which is simple and reliable, to identify the culprit(s) and help you get relief.
Some of those culprits may be near and dear to you - pets are a common allergy trigger.
He says that as many as 70% of people in the United States sleep with their pets. Even if you don't cuddle up with Fido, if you allow him to spend the whole day sleeping on your pillow, you may have a flare-up of symptoms at bedtime. Allowing pets to spend time on your bed increases the odds of allergic symptoms when it's time for you and your partner to become intimate. Better to keep your bedroom door closed during the day and pets out.
If you're allergic to ragweed or grass, Benninger advises that you keep the windows in your bedroom closed so that the pollen doesn't get in. "You'll sleep better if you don't have that level of exposure in your bed at night," he says.
Bassett suggests setting your air conditioner on recirculate to keep pollens out. And don't forget to check the air conditioning filter during high pollen seasons for the highest level of efficiency.
It's also a good idea to shampoo and shower nightly to rinse the pollens from your skin and hair, and to change your clothes before entering your bedroom to reduce pollen levels, Bassett says.

|-> Chapter 2 -> Land -> Latin America and the Caribbean
Land degradation
Erosion is the main cause of land degradation in Latin America, affecting 14.3 per cent of the territory in South America and 26 per cent in Central America (Oldeman 1994). Nutrient depletion is also a serious issue, largely driven by agricultural intensification. In South America, the depletion of nutrients from the soil had affected 68.2 million ha by 1980 (Scherr and Yadav 1997). This depletion has exacerbated poverty which, in turn, has contributed to greater environmental degradation and land deterioration.
Chemical soil pollution is increasingly significant given the intensification of agriculture and the use of pesticides during the past 30 years. Agricultural technology has increased production throughout the region but at a high cost to the environment. Of great concern is the impact of agrochemical pollution on soil and water and, as a consequence, on human health. Soil and water nitrification is linked to the use of chemical fertilizers which increased from 3.7 to 10.9 million tonnes during 1972-97 (FAOSTAT 2001).
Salinization is a particularly significant form of soil degradation because it is difficult to treat and can lead to desertification. Salinization caused by irrigation affects 18.4 million ha in the region, particularly in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Peru (AQUASTAT 1997).
The problems of land degradation have been discussed in regional and international fora for several decades. Following the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, work on new conventions and agreements started to seek regional and sub-regional solutions. For example, the secretariat of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD), together with UNEP and the government of Mexico, established a Regional Coordination Unit for Latin America and the Caribbean to coordinate the work of national focal points in preparing national action programmes. These actions encouraged several countries to set up similar programmes and have led to the creation of monitoring systems (UNEP/ROLAC 1999, Universidad de Buenos Aires 1999). The Amazonian Pact, the Sustainable Development Commission, the Central American Integration System and the Andean Pact are examples of sub-regional mechanisms that have paved the way for agreements and have promoted monitoring and control systems to prevent land degradation.

Why do you think you need to do cardio ?
A brisk 20 walk a day sounds perfect to me, couple that with a couple of resistance workouts per week and you will be good to go.
Do you have access to any workout equipment ?
I am 5'3" and about 98 pounds. According to all those BMI charts and calculators, I'm severely underweight and I should be at least 120 and blah blah blah. If you saw me, however, you would NEVER guess I'm under 100 pounds. In fact, I've had people tell me, "What??? You can't POSSIBLY weigh that little."
I don't know why, but I only tend to lose weight in my stomach/midsection. My arms and legs (the parts people see the most) are big and flabby, while my stomach is completely emaciated. Visually, I don't look healthy.
I don't want to lose weight. That would do nothing for me and would probably make me extremely ill. I want to gain lean muscle and become strong and be able to run for more than 10 minutes without getting tired.
Right now eat around 1600 calories a day (yes, I know I need to be eating more, I'm working on it) and I always make sure to get enough fat/protein. I was a vegetarian for two years and just this past week I started eating wild salmon and organic turkey again. I eat 1-2 eggs a day, lots of coconut oil, nuts/nut butters, avocados, and steamed vegetables. Some other foods I eat a lot are sprouted grain Ezekiel bread, oatmeal, Larabars, chickpeas, jasmine rice, sweet potatoes, bananas, etc. I'm semi-constipated, so as of a few days ago I've been taking Miralax to help things move along. I take minocycline for my acne, and I make sure to take a probiotic as well.
As far as exercise, I really don't get much. I walk maybe 20 minutes a day. No cardio/strength training. I believe this is where my real problem lies. I've focused on my diet so much that I've completely lost sight of the importance of being active.
Because I'm so weak and don't have hardly any muscle, can anyone recommend a workout plan of some sort for a beginner? I need some good cardio and the parts of my body I'm most looking to tone up are my upper arms and thighs. I am dedicated and follow plans very well. I'm ready to make a change!
Why do you think you need to do cardio ?
A brisk 20 walk a day sounds perfect to me, couple that with a couple of resistance workouts per week and you will be good to go.
Do you have access to any workout equipment ?
You might consider a program like new rules of weight lifting for women. Add a couple sessions of sprints on an exercise bike or rowing machine or other kind of contraption (so you can't fall and hurt yourself) each week, too. The sprints will give you the cardiovascular improvements (you know, for your heart and stamina and all that) plus help your metabolism. You don't need long periods of slogging it out with jogging or whatever. Walking is always good for you so keep that up.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
Cut the whole grains. Not doing anything for your constipation or acne.
Increase protein (red meat, more eggs, more quality dairy, gelatin, etc) by a lot more. You are eating mostly fat and carbs. Of course you aren't going to have muscle.
Lift weights 2-3x a week. No cardio because then you would just have to eat back those calories.
Make sure you get carbs from fruits, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and white rice on the days you work out.
Don't eat low nutrient density stuff like veggies as much since you need save room in your stomach to eat nutrient and calorically dense foods like meat eggs cheese.
Drinking your calories from grassfed milk, organic juice, coconut milk etc might serve you well if you are struggling to get calories in.

Because you've been a vegetarian for a few years I would definitely recommend a good quality BCAA powder. My sister inlaw is a vegetarian and was complaining of general body soreness and lack of energy so I got her taking BCAA's and with in a week she was feeling like her old self again. Just make sure it's not stacked with a stimulant. That you don't need.
Beachbody.com has some awesome workout programs. I do Shaun T's Focus T25 which is a good 25 minute workout DVDs. Another good one is P90X.
I also do running and biking, but I really getting into the workout videos.

Looking toned up is the desire of many people and this is the reason they join gyms and take part in workout sessions. to tone up fast you should start eating food that will provide you enough calories. The food should be such that it will help in building your muscles. The calories that you are taking should be according to your Body Mass Index and you need to do workout to burn the calories that you are taking. Take protein rich products as lean meat and healthy carbohydrates.

Anybody have a way of estimating SBLK's NAV? Management used to give estimates but I don't think they do that anymore.
here is a graph of the book value per share...hope it helps...http://ycharts.com/companies/SBLK/book_value_per_share
No, they don't mark their ships to market - the book value just represents historical cost minus depreciation.

Advances & Applications
Hanford Police Department Acquires Command Center Vehicle from Mobile Specialty Vehicles
Mobile Specialty Vehicles of Jasper, Texas, is proud to announce the delivery of a 34-foot command center vehicle to the Hanford, California, Police Department. The command center was built on the Freightliner M2 chassis and is equipped with a rear conference room and a sixfoot glide room on the roadside. Four forward workstations, a bathroom, and a kitchenette make the command center highly functional over longer periods of time. The aluminmum/stainless steel cabinets are both durable and easy to maintain. The vehicle also contains a 20-kilowatt PowerTech diesel generator, a Pelco camera system, two liquid crystal display (LCD) televisions, and an electronic whiteboard. The Hanford command center vehicle also comes equipped with an electric-powered awning, a 34-foot Will-Burt pneumatic mast, and a 19-inch radio/computer rack with an exterior access door.For more information, click here, and insert number 99 in the box on the Reader Service Number response service.
NYPD Purchases Segway Personal Transporters
Segway Inc. today announced that the New York Police Department (NYPD) has purchased a fleet of 10 Segway Personal Transporters (PTs) it will deploy on patrols in city parks this summer. The use of the Segway i2 Police units will help the department increase patrol coverage in park environments, improve emergency response times by patrol officers, and reduce carbon emissions. The units are expected to be used for security patrols in Central Park, Coney Island, and other city parks and beaches. This is the first Segway PT purchase by the City of New York.
Worldwide, more than 400 police and security agencies now use Segway PTs to patrol downtown business districts, airports, parks and campuses, up from 150 a year ago. Much of the appeal of Segway PTs among patrol officers can be attributed to the unique performance characteristics of the machines:
The Segway i2 Police units purchased by the New York Police Department are the newest-generation models. The i2 model has a range of up to 24 miles, a top speed of 12.5 miles per hour, and a payload of 260 pounds. When the i2 is equipped with the police package it becomes an ideal solution for urban street patrols and community policing initiatives. The i2 Police includes a handlebar bag for gear, an accessory bar for lights and sirens, reflective police/security labels, comfort mats, an LED taillight, and cargo frames that double as lift handles.For more information, click here, and insert number 100 in the box on the Reader Service Number response service.
Alachua County, Florida, Signs Contract with TriTech Software Systems
TriTech Software Systems, a provider of integrated public safety software solutions, announced that it has signed a $1.95 million contract to upgrade the emergency communications systems for Alachua County, Florida, which will enable multiagency, multijurisdictional joint responses to emergency situations for the Gainesville Police Department, Gainesville Fire Rescue Department, Alachua County Sheriff's Office, and the Alachua County Department of Fire/Rescue Services. The solution is composed of VisiCAD Command, a feature-rich, multiagency, multijurisdictional computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system; its integrated mapping module, VisiCAD GEO, which provides a geographic information system (GIS)–centered approach to dispatching and response; and VisiNet Mobile, a wireless PC-based mobile-fleet application that seamlessly extends CAD to in-vehicle computers. The highly configurable system will also provide seamless integration for a number of external systems, including the incumbent records management and field-based reporting applications.
Currently running on an older CAD system without any integrated mapping capabilities, the command center's 40-plus workstations running VisiCAD Command and the 650 multiagency mobile units equipped with VisiNet Mobile will deploy a highly coordinated and interoperable environment. VisiCAD Command and VisiNet Mobile's mapping display integrates with in-vehicle Automatic Vehicle Locator (AVL) and the mobile Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver to poll latitude and longitude coordinates, which are used for live mapping display updates. The GIS integration and AVL functionality work seamlessly to assign resources through routing-based unit recommendations that use street networks to ensure fast and accurate unit routing and incident response times.

"It's never too late. I told them that before the game," said WVU head coach Bob Huggins. "As long as you're still standing, you might as well fight.
"We played [in the second half]. Earlier in the year, we may not have played that hard in the second half after playing poorly in the first."
The game, as with many of the Mountaineers' losses this season, didn't come without some sparks. Through the more than five-minute stretch of the game following a Huggins technical foul with 6:46 to play, WVU outscored Iowa State by nine.
It just wasn't enough to recover from being down by 24 at halftime and 27 with 15:46 to play in the second half.
"We need to get into the mindset that we are down 20 from the start of the game, so we come out fighting from the start," said freshman guard Eron Harris. "If we had the mindset, they would be scared to come into the paint from the beginning. They'd be turning it over – from the start."
Player of the Game
|Jabarie Hinds
19 points
4 3-pointers
7-of-11 shooting
When the Mountaineers cut the game to just six points on a layup from forward Aaric Murray, they couldn't shut the Cyclones out on the other end. Senior forward Deniz Kilicli fouled ISU guard Will Clyburn on a 3-point attempt, and he made all three free throws to go up by nine.
"We just can't start the way we start. If we started better, we would've been just fine today," Kilicli said.
It wasn't over yet, however, as senior guard Matt Humphrey forced two straight turnovers that led to buckets for the Mountaineers, and that cut the lead to just four at 76-72 with under a minute to play.
After ISU free throws and a WVU timeout, a three from Harris was blocked by the Cylcones to seal the victory.
Iowa State would close the game at the free-throw line and escape Morgantown with another win. WVU fell – again – to a Big 12 team above it in the standings. It didn't beat a team higher in the Big 12 standings all regular season long.
"We've got to be hungry. We're pissed right now, and we should've been pissed a long time ago," Harris said. "It just didn't happen like that, but that's what it's going to take. It's up to us."
West Virginia finished with five players in double figures despite no player scoring more than five points in the first half. Sophomore guard Jabarie Hinds finished with a team-high 19 points – 17 of them coming in the second half.
Harris, Humphrey and Murray finished with 11 points each. Sophomore guard Terry Henderson had 10 points.
WVU dropped to 13-8 on the season and 6-12 in the Big 12 Conference. The Mountaineers will head into the conference tournament next week as either the seven or eight seed depending on whether Texas wins or loses later today.
"If we become a team, we're hard to deal with. We know that," Kilicli said. "I know this team play the way we played in the second half for 40 minutes."
Iowa State shot 59.3 percent in the first half and 56.5 percent for the game. WVU shot 52.6 percent in the second half, but a 28.6 percent shooting performance in the first half crippled the team.
West Virginia was outrebounded by 15 but turned the ball over 10 less times. The Mountaineers scored 29 points off turnovers.
WVU struggled in all facets in the first half. Despite taking a 3-2 lead, it would give up runs of 11, 10 and seven straight points to go into the locker room down 44-20.
Kilicli, in his final game at the WVU Coliseum with his parents in town for the first time, finished with four points and four rebounds.
Fellow senior Dominique Rutledge, who was escorted out of the tunnel by his teammates during Senior Day festivities, played three minutes. Humphrey made perhaps his biggest impact of his career in a WVU uniform on Saturday.

In reply
Bloomfield et al argue in favor of long hours in medical training and recall a mentor whose careful supervision ensured quality of care. We believe that the suggestion that resident supervision can entirely prevent problems related to overwork is overly optimistic. There is evidence that workload and the structure of residents' work schedule do influence the likelihood of medical errors and the quality of care residents provide.1- 3 It is also important to note that faculty face increasing expectations for outpatient productivity, research, and documentation that threaten the quality of teaching and supervision.

Carbon Monoxide Awareness Brochure [PDF]
Carbon monoxide (also called CO) is a poisonous gas that you cannot see, smell or taste. It is often referred to as the "silent killer." CO is produced by the incomplete burning of fuels such as natural gas, propane, heating oil, kerosene, coal, charcoal or wood. Improperly installed or poorly maintained appliances that run on these fuels may create unsafe levels of CO. In enclosed spaces such as your home, cottage or recreational vehicle, even a small amount of CO is dangerous. What are the symptoms of CO poisoning? Exposure to CO can cause flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, burning eyes, confusion, disorientation, drowsiness and even loss of consciousness. When inhaled, carbon monoxide interferes with the body's ability to absorb oxygen, and in very severe cases, CO poisoning can cause brain damage and death. The elderly, children, people with heart or respiratory conditions and pets may be particularly sensitive to CO and may feel the effects sooner. What can create a CO hazard? Conditions that can create a CO hazard include:

Kaminsky, W. M., Jones, G.A.C., Patel, N.K., Booij, W.E., Blamire, M.G., Gardiner, S.M., Xu, Y.B. and Bland, J.A.C. (2001) Patterning ferromagnetism in Ni80Fe20 films via Ga+ ion irradiation. Applied Physics Letters, 78 (11). pp. 1589-1591. ISSN 0003-6951
We demonstrate that focused Ga+ ion irradiation can comprehensively modify the ferromagnetic properties of Ni80Fe20 thin films. Magneto-optic Kerr effect measurements at room temperature and magnetoresistance measurements at temperatures between 1.5 and 270 K characterized the irradiation effects. Irradiation steadily reduced the films' room temperature coercivity, and a dose of 1.0×10(16) ions/cm(2) at 30 keV was found sufficient to cause a loss of ferromagnetism at room temperature in films of thickness up to 15.5 nm. In situ end-point detection and postirradiation atomic force microscopy confirmed that the sputtering which accompanied doses up to 1.0×10(16) ions/cm(2) did not compromise the protective caps on these Ni80Fe20 films. We therefore conclude that the modification of ferromagnetic properties occurred primarily because of direct Ga+ ion implantation. From these results, we speculate that focused Ga+ ion irradiation could be a convenient tool for the nanoscale patterning of magnetic properties in 3d transition metal thin films. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

Amateurs Win Hudson Cup
Thanks to a three-point lead heading into Friday's singles matches, the Amateur team hung on to beat the Professional squad in the 63rd Hudson Cup. The annual two-day event was held at Oswego Lake Country Club in Lake Oswego, Ore.
The professionals won six of the 10 singles matches, but the four points earned by the amateurs were enough to give them the victory by a 10½ to 9½ point margin.
The win was the first for the amateurs since the 1978 matches at Manito G&CC in Spokane in 1978. The closest Hudson Cup since then was a tie in 2007 at Riverside G&CC in Portland.
Former Seattle Mariners pitcher Erik Hanson got the big victory for the amateurs in the penultimate match when he eked out a 1-up win over Tim Feenstra. The final match between pro Luke Bennett and amateur Sean Parker ended all-square, giving the amateurs a half-point for their final tally.
The 20th Senior Hudson Cup Matches were also close. Starting the singles matches with a two-point edge, the professionals held on to beat their amateur counterparts 10½ to 9½, despite the amateurs winning the singles, 5½ to 4½.
The Charles Congdon Award went to Bill Winter and the amateur Larry Lamberger Award was presented to pro Corey Prugh. In the Senior Matches, the Bill Eggers Award was presented to amateur Kent Brown while pro Steve Prugh received the Bob McKendrick Award.
The Hudson Cup is patterned after the Ryder Cup, with the four teams selected based on the players' competitive records throughout the 2011 season.
The competition is named after Robert A. Hudson, a successful Portland businessman whose firm, Hudson House, became one of the nation's leading wholesale grocers. Hudson played golf at Portland Golf Club and was devoted to the game.
During World War II, the PGA of America was trying to keep its Tour alive and in dire need of event sponsors. Hudson stepped up to the plate at the urging of Larry Lamberger, Portland Golf Club head professional, and offered to underwrite a tournament with a purse of $10,000.
That's how the 1944 Portland Open, won by Sam Snead, was born. Hudson also sponsored the 1945 Portland Open (in which Ben Hogan set the 72-hole scoring record of 27-under 261) and the 1946 PGA Championship - now the PGA Tour's fourth major championship, also won by Hogan.
Hudson went on to sponsor Portland Opens in 1948 and 1949 and the 1955 Western Open, all at Portland Golf Club, and he became the first chairman of the PGA's Advisory Committee.
In 1947, Hudson played an instrumental role in re-starting the Ryder Cup - which, mainly because of World War II, had not been held since 1937 - by personally paying the way for the British team (which was expanded to include Ireland in 1973, and then all of Europe in 1979) to sail to New York and take a train across America to Portland Golf Club.

A sweeping bill that would extend unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless passed a major Senate hurdle, Tuesday.
Eight Republicans voted with Democrats in favor of the legislation-- preventing a filibuster and setting up a final vote on Wednesday.
The $107 billion spending measure will give additional months of benefits to those unemployed for more than six months.
It also includes tax breaks for individuals and businesses that expired last year and gives cash-strapped states help with Medicaid. The bill does not include new ideas for boosting jobs, but instead rehashes elements from last year's $862 billion stimulus bill.
Democrats said the unemployment benefits inject demand into the economy and say renewing the tax cuts helps preserve existing jobs.
The measure would increase highway spending and give tax breaks to companies that hire the unemployed and could clear the Senate for Obama's desk this week.
Democrats said the measure is desperately needed even though it adds to the federal deficit.
Despite Falling Unemployment, Jobs Still Top Concern

Investigators say there was no evidence to substantiate David Leroy Blurton's self-defense claim and jurors convicted the 50-year-old on Wednesday. The shooting happened at the parking lot of a grocery store in Dillon, Colo., on May 2009. Prosecutors say Blurton had been drinking.
Jurors also convicted Blurton of "prohibited use of a weapon — drunk with a gun" and reckless endangerment. Prosecutors say they will request that Blurton be sentenced to probation.
Blurton maintained that someone hit him in the back of the head and he was trying to defend himself.
Candle offers a whiff of White Castle
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Fans craving merely the aroma of an oniony White Castle hamburger can now indulge themselves with a White Castle-scented candle.
The fast-food chain based in Columbus, Ohio, this week introduced candles infused with the smell of its "slyder" burgers in a promotion with Autism Speaks. Proceeds from the sale of the $10 candles will benefit the New York-based charity.
The candles, sold at White Castle restaurants and on the company's website, resemble a packaged White Castle burger. The wax is encased in a ceramic holder that looks like a slyder's cardboard sleeve.
Police warn of mysterious pair of peacocks
FAIRFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Two peacocks strutting their stuff have motorists on alert in one Ohio community. Police in Fairfield Township north of Cincinnati said more than a dozen people have called 911 in the last month to report they spotted the flamboyant birds. Police Chief Richard St. John isn't sure where they came from, and he's concerned the unusual sights could startle motorists and pose a traffic hazard.
Peacocks are not native to southwest Ohio. St. John said Wednesday that a local family owns some of the birds but said the prowling peacocks are not theirs. Attempts at catching them have been unsuccessful.
