China's Cuddly Emissaries
China's master diplomats have the proven ability to reduce foreigners to a state of childishness. When the Chinese government brings Giant Pandas to the negotiating table, the stakes change. Whole populations and their leaders clamor for access to these animals, as if they were toddlers reaching for toys. Washington, London and Moscow have all succumbed to this awesome (a chorus of "Awwwwwww!" accompanies every panda appearance) force.
That is only one reason that Henry Nicholls refers to the Giant Panda as a political animal in his charmingly written "The Way of the Panda." At times everything concerning the creatures seems to have a political angle: not only their value as state gifts (with heavy strings attached) but also their precise scientific classification; their mating habits and offspring; and the efforts to ensure their preservation. The author compares the history of the panda in the modern world to that of China itself, complete with a "great leap forward" in the 1960s, when the captive breeding of pandas first became possible.
Perhaps if Western nations were represented by that other adorable bear, A.A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh, we could hope to compete. Perhaps not. As of this writing, "Kung Fu Panda 2" is playing in theaters everywhere, and Washington, D.C., is consumed with anxiety about the possible pregnancy of Mei Xiang, the periodically artificially inseminated panda at the National Zoological Park—even after the heartbreak of having her previous cub returned to China, as the agreement with the Chinese requires all progeny to be.
Pandas were formally discovered quite late, in 1869. They presumably had been around for millennia, chomping away in the bamboo forests of China, but they had never been mentioned or depicted in Chinese literature or art. Wouldn't you think (the author wonders) that if you ran into an enormous cuddly-looking creature, you might think to mention it?
Then one day a French missionary and collector of animal specimens noticed a strange black-and-white skin decorating the home of a Chinese hunter with whom he was having tea. He promptly commissioned the locals to shoot him a couple of the critters, and mailed their dried skins to a zoologist in Paris.
Next—international superstardom! And all that goes with it. Speculation about who they really are. Demands for personal appearances. Curiosity about their personal habits. Gossip about their sex lives.
Zoologists were once geographically split about whether pandas were bears, as the missionary had assumed and a Danish zoologist contended, or whether they should be classified with raccoons and red or lesser pandas, as was urged by the Paris zoologist, backed by a British one who proved lastingly influential upon the entire English-speaking scientific world. The controversy raged for almost a century before an exasperated American anatomist pointed out that "English-speaking researchers were pulling down English-language publications and non-English-speakers were dipping into exclusively non-English publications and both camps were simply rehashing what they'd read." DNA evidence sides with the missionary: It's a bear.
Whatever the panda was, everyone wanted one, beginning with the hunters who vied for the honor—as a claimant bragged—of bringing down "the first Giant Panda shot by a white man." Such enthusiasm engendered the modern conservation movement—a fact that takes some explaining, as Mr. Nicholls acknowledges. So he places panda-hunting within a wider survey of evolving attitudes toward wild animals.
The Way of the Panda:The Curious History of China's Political Animal
By Henry Nicholls
Pegasus, 319 pages, $25
"It is only with the greater understanding of the natural world, with the hard evidence laid down in natural history collections, that a conservation ethic could emerge," Mr. Nicholls writes. He suggests a progression from (1) wanting to study dead pandas and stuff them in order to promote public awareness of the need to protect them to (2) wanting to possess live ones in order to study their needs and breed them to (3) working to preserve their habitat. The Smithsonian Institution began with shoot, study and stuff, but this practice eventually led to the establishment of a national zoo to protect and breed living animals.
The zoo was finally given a state gift of its first pair of pandas on the occasion of President Richard Nixon's 1972 visit to China. Madame Chiang Kai-shek had originated the practice of giving out "comical, black-and-white, furry pandas" as presents, and the People's Republic of China had previously given them to 20 other nations, but the United States had been off the list since 1958, when the secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, refused to allow a Chicago zoo to harbor a communist animal.
Foreign zoos that had acquired pandas inevitably hoped to go into panda production. This proved not to be easy. Failures were conspicuous and, to the general public, hilarious. After the male in Washington attempted to insert himself into the female's ear and she, naturally, hauled off and swatted him, the zoo director was heard (by this reviewer, who was then a reporter on the panda beat) to mutter, "Damn it, I'm going to show him how to do it myself."
Serious pandologists remain unamused by such behaviors, maintaining that they are really very sexy in the wild. Just as they had to discover that pandas actually preferred bamboo to chocolate treats, they had to discover that a missing erotic element was the smell of urine left on trees. Mr. Nicholls, who wrote "Lonesome George" (2006) about a giant tortoise, has become enough of a pandologist himself to resent the anthropomorphizing of pandas and to scorn the commercial bonanza of panda-related kitsch. But a bit of whimsy keeps seeping into his writing, and even those of us who, like Madame Chiang, can't help finding pandas comical will delight in the author's richly diverting side tours as we accompany him on the panda path.

Comedian Gaffigan savors New Year's in Milwaukee
Pasty comedian Jim Gaffigan has become such a New Year's tradition in Milwaukee that Point Brewery in Stevens Point bottles a special beer in his honor for the shows - aptly titled "Jim Gaffigan Pale Ale."
This will be the sixth year that Gaffigan, 46, performs at the Pabst Theater around New Year's. Beside the fact that tickets continue to sell well (he's playing three shows from Saturday through Monday this year) there's another important reason why he keeps coming back. »Read Full Article

Number signing on for more than a year up by 3.5pc
Published 05/01/2013 | 05:00
THE number of people signing on for more than a year has risen in excess of 6,000 despite a Government promise to slash long-term unemployment figures.
New data reveal that the number of long-term unemployed rose by 3.5pc or 6,346 last year, bringing their numbers to 187,144.
This is despite the Government's commitment in its Pathways to Work plan to ensure that more than 75,000 of the long-term unemployed get jobs by 2015.
Although the Government's strategy is not working yet, the official statistics show that the total number of people out of work is stabilising.
The number of unemployed seeking assistance fell by 1,400 last month, bringing the seasonally adjusted dole queue down to 430,900.
There was a drop of 2.5pc or 11,051 dole claimants during the year, while the standardised unemployment rate also fell slightly to 14.6pc.
The number of men out of work dropped by 1,800 in December, but the number of women seeking assistance rose by 400.
Likewise, the number of women joining the ranks of the long-term unemployed is rising faster than men.
The number of men out of work increased by 1,089, or 0.8pc in the year, but the number of women soared by 10.6pc, or 5,257. The Government's jobs plan, launched last year, focused on getting the long-term unemployed off the dole.
It claimed that, based on current trends, the numbers of long-term unemployed will, in the absence of concerted action, "increase inexorably" to more than 200,000.
"Clearly this is unacceptable," it said.
The Central Statistics Office said that the trend in the overall Live Register continued to be one of movement "within a small range". It said annual decreases in the number signing on were recorded in all months of 2012.
The number of over-25s dropped by 1pc, but the number of under-25s fell by 10pc.
Under-25s now make up almost 16pc of the Live Register numbers, down from almost 19pc in 2010.
Chambers Ireland said that Ireland was "slowly but steadily" on the road to recovery, following a drop of 0.3pc in the 14.6pc standardised unemployment rate during the year.
SIPTU economist Marie Sherlock welcomed the figures but warned that they hid the impact of emigration, as almost 8,000 craft workers left the country last year.
The Irish Small and Medium Enterprises Association said that long-term unemployed must be a priority.
It urged the Government to reveal its promised Plus One jobs initiative, announced on Budget day, which it said was "like the third secret of Fatima".

Stimulus-frequency-emission group delay: A test of coherent reflection filtering and a window on cochlear tuning113(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1557211View Description Hide Description
This paper tests and applies a key prediction of the theory of coherent reflection filtering for the generation of reflection-source otoacoustic emissions. The theory predicts that reflectionsource-emission group delay is determined by the group delay of the basilar-membrane (BM) transfer function at its peak. This prediction is tested over a seven-octave frequency range in cats and guinea pigs using measurements of stimulus-frequency-emission (SFOAE) group delay. A comparison with group delays calculated from published measurements of BM mechanical transfer functions supports the theory at the basal end of the cochlea. A comparison across the whole frequency range based on variations in the sharpness of neural tuning with characteristic frequency (CF) suggests that the predicted relation holds in the basal-most 60% of the cochlea. At the apical end of the cochlea, however, the measurements disagree with neural and mechanical group delays. This disagreement suggests that there are important differences in cochlear mechanics and/or mechanisms of emission generation between the base and apex of the cochlea. Measurements in humans over a four-octave range indicate that human SFOAE group delays are roughly a factor of 3 longer than their counterparts in cat and guinea pig but manifest similar trends across CF. The measurements thus reveal global deviations from scaling whose form appears quantitatively similar in all three species. Interpreted using the theory of coherent reflection filtering, the group delay measurements indicate that the wavelength at the peak of the traveling wave decreases with increasing CF at a rate of roughly 25% per octave in the base of the cochlea. The measurements and analysis reported here illustrate the rich potential inherent in OAEmeasurements for obtaining valuable information about basic cochlear properties such as tuning.
Measurements of human middle ear forward and reverse acoustics: Implications for otoacoustic emissions113(2003); http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.1564018View Description Hide Description
Middle and inner ears from human cadaver temporal bones were stimulated in the forward direction by an ear-canal sound source, and in the reverse direction by an inner-ear sound source. For each stimulus type, three variables were measured: (a) —ear-canal pressure with a probe-tube microphone within 3 mm of the eardrum, (b) —stapes velocity with a laser interferometer, and (c) —vestibule pressure with a hydrophone. From these variables, the forward middle-ear pressure gain (M1), the cochlear input impedance the reverse middle-ear pressure gain (M2), and the reverse middle-ear impedance (M3) are directly obtained for the first time from the same preparation. These measurements can be used to fully characterize the middle ear as a two-port system. Presently, the effect of the middle ear on otoacoustic emissions(OAEs) is quantified by calculating the roundtrip middle-ear pressure gain as the product of M1 and M2. In the 2–6.8 kHz region, decreases with a slope of −22 dB/oct, while OAEs (both click evoked and distortion products) tend to be independent of frequency; this suggests a steep slope in vestibule pressure from 2 kHz to at least 4 kHz for click evoked OAEs and to at least 6.8 kHz for distortion product OAEs. Contrary to common assumptions, measurements indicate that the emission generator mechanism is frequency dependent. Measurements are also used to estimate the reflectance of basally traveling waves at the stapes, and apically generated nonlinear reflections within the vestibule.

US Airways, Shutterfly Drop Sustainable Forestry Initiative
US Airways, Shutterfly, Energizer, Allied Electronics, Phillips Van Heusen, Pitney Bowes and Ruby Tuesday will stop using the Sustainable Forestry Initiative seal on their products, marking a growing exodus from the eco-label, according to non-profit ForestEthics.
To date, 21 major brands have distanced themselves from SFI, ForestEthics says. Many of these companies also have made commitments to shift over to products certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.
For example, Shutterfly says it will give preference to FSC-certified products in all of its new paper purchases, and Pitney Bowes will give preference to FSC in all new paper purchases for internal use Both will avoid reference to the SFI program in external communications.
Two years ago, ForestEthics published SFI: Certified Greenwash, which criticized the eco-label program for what the non-profit called inadequate standards to protect forests. The report claimed that SFI, funded and managed by the some of the world's largest timber companies, approves large-scale operations that impair fish and wildlife habitat, cause landslides and pollute water. ForestEthics also filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission and Internal Revenue Service alleging that SFI misleads the public through deceptive marketing and operates as a nonprofit public charity even though it primarily serves private for-profit interest.
Office Depot and Kimberly-Clark Professional were among the first companies to drop the SFI label. The anti-SFI movement grew last March when seven companies includes Allstate and Aetna made commitments to stop using the SFI label.

ForestEthics continues to plant the same old inaccurate information about SFI and Environmental Leader continues to post it without question. SFI is strong and growing – more and more companies accept and recognize SFI and many have inclusive policies, recognizing all credible standards. Missing from the story is the real damage from ForestEthics' bullying tactics, which creates an uneven playing field for well-managed domestic forest practices and products. SFI does its part to promote responsible forestry and works closely with conservation groups, government agencies, landowners and other stakeholders to make a difference on the ground. To learn the truth about SFI, please visit our web-site at http://www.sfiprogram.org/facts.

Disclosure: I received an Oven Ready Turkey from Jennie-O. The thoughts and opinions below are entirely my own.
I'm not sure how Friendsgiving originated. Whenever I hear the word, I am reminded of every Thanksgiving episode of, "Friends." We planned a weekend at a cabin with six of our friends this year and decided it was the perfect time to celebrate Friendsgiving. No one managed to get their head stuck inside a turkey, but we still had a good time! One thing that made this a little easier was the Oven Ready Turkey from Jennie-O.

Numbers are limited to 12 people on this small-group boat ride, ensuring you'll receive personalized attention from your guide.
- Free drinks included
- Get inside tips from a local
- Travel by boat and see the sights from the water
At the embarkation point, hop aboard your boat, one of Florence's rare original barchettos, and head down the Arno on a one-hour cruise. Meaning 'little boat' in Italian, the barchetto is a wooden gondola-style boat that was originally used (centuries ago) to carry building materials for Florence's city walls down the river.
While your guide unveils the secrets of the beautiful palaces that frame the riverside, your barcaiolo, a true Florentine boat-handler, will expertly guide your barchetto with a long wooden oar.
Relaxing with a glass of Prosecco, you'll glide past the Uffizi Gallery, one of the most famous art museums in Italy, before sailing under the unique Ponte Vecchio. As you cruise, your guide will talk about the mysterious Vasari Corridor, the enclosed passageway that lines the Ponte Vecchio, and will explain the town's history. You will also see countless other Florence attractions during your cruise, such as the Santa Trinita Bridge and Corsini Palace with its stunning Baroque architecture.

Traveler Reviews
Reviewed by: Gina G, August 2016
A great introduction to Florence! Met Elisa, our guide, outside the Florencetown tour company office which was easy enough to find. There were only 8 of us and we left for the Arno just a minute or two late. We did have to walk through Florence fairly fast. Once we got to the Barchetto, it was smooth sailing! Elisa was very friendly and knowledgeable. Since our cruise was at 7pm, it was almost sunset so it was quite scenic and the 45 minute ride was just super relaxing and lovely. The small glass of prosecco was a nice touch.

Culprit Incredi Punch 8pk
Made to tempt bass hiding beneath cover, the Culprit Incredi-Punch offers a compact profile that is as functional as it is tempting. Fitted with number of rounded appendages, the Culprit Incredi-Punch slips through cover with ease and flares up once it makes contact with the bottom to create a full-bodied presentation.
Made to withstand big fish and accommodate heavier gear, the Culprit Incredi-Punch is molded out of a durable plastic and features a nose that is built to have heavy-duty tungsten weights butted up against it. A great bed bait as well, the Culprit Incredi-Punch provides a one-two combination of lifelike action and extra-tough construction that will knockout fish and the competition.

Testing the Unexpected: A Shift Right in DevOps Testing[article]

By shifting right in the lifecycle and testing in production, you can analyze the undefined, unknown, and unexpected by relying on real traffic and unpredictable test input. With shorter implementation and release cycles, testing and production come closer together.

Kansas: Dust in the Wind Meaning
Song Released: 1978
Dust in the Wind Lyrics
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the...
anonymous Aug 3rd, 2008 8:22am report
This song is a reminder that we are mortal and we are very very small. ultimately everything we do in life will be lost and forgotten in history. This does not make me uncomfortable, rather it shows me that my problems are minuscule and should not be blown out of proportion. after all, if I am so small, than my problems must be even smaller. and if you fail, oh well, its gonna be forgotten in time anyway. give it your best shot, you only live once.
blackrapture Oct 20th, 2005 10:42pm report
I strongly disagree that this is about being worthless. I think that in this song Kerry Livgren is trying to convey that there is something more valuable than this world and all its repetition. Kerry Livgren has stated to be of the "Christian" faith and this song would greatly comply to that. When he says " all we are is dust in the wind"
I think he is refering to the verse in the bible where God says " from dust you have come, to dust you shall return". We are in essence dust in the wind. We can't hold on to moments in this life, in this world. We need something divine to save us from being a drop in the sea. He wrote this song in honesty. We are dust in the wind and we can choose to try and buy a minute-which always results in failure- or we can find faith and trade in our lost longing for hope and reward in heaven.
This is my personal opinion of what his intentions were in writing this song based on my knowledge of who he is as a person. In no way have I tried to express my own beliefs through this interpretation I am simply observing what I think is truth.
Lucid_Daydreaming Dec 8th, 2007 12:53pm report
"I close my eyes. Only for a moment and the moment's gone.
All my dreams.. Flash before my eyes of curiosity."
Time doesn't exist, it's simultaneous. Our minds set barriers to keep us from noticing that.
"Same old song Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see"
Same again, our lives are that of a drop of water returning to the sea. When everything is connected, is this how it tries to justify it's existence?
"Now Don't hang on Nothing lasts forever but the Earth and Sky It slips away And all your money won't another minute buy"
Don't worry about how long you're going to be around. Killing yourself over building a future ends the same as if you tried to enjoy life. So the choice is yours.

Well this song in my opinion makes me think what bad things come they are dead in fast because it wouldn't be true to come. It makes me think of my family and all the problem that comes. That is why I like it, because everything that sounds sad is smaller than we think mostly. Just like when someone pasts away.

This song is an acknowledgement that eventually, whether it is when we die or after, our impact on the world will fade away. It doesn't involve religion, but rather sticks to facts. It is only talking about life; not what happens after.
To me it is saying that rather than seeking success, fame, fortune, etc we should try to enjoy the time we have.

Such a beautiful song.. its about humans. A man is dying and he is looking back on his life. he starts to realize everything he did will just be forgotten in time, and It's not important, like dust floating in the breeze. Everything seems like something huge, but in reality our life is so small in this huge earth, and you eventually die, and even though it seems big, it's something tiny and short on the earth that will be around for billions of years. its so beautiful

At first it reminded me of Eastern philosophy text. I finally wikid it and ...actual inspiration was from a book of Native American poetry, which includes the line "for all we are is dust in the wind. Doesn't surprise me as every spiritual message is the same just different messengers!

I think this song is a mixture of reality and religion. I just read an interpretation where someone was saying that Kerry was a religious man, and that he was referring to a bible verse that we often hear on Ash Wednesday. As a fellow Christian, I think that may be a possibility. However, I also think he is trying to remind us that we aren't as big as we wish to be. I love the line where he says, "all your money won't another minute buy". I think that is more of a reality type reference, because in the end of your life when you're on your death bed, it won't matter if you're the richest person. Money can't buy you time in the end. And once you're dead (dust in the wind) all that money has no purpose to you. This song is so beautiful.

This song is very,very honest.early in the lyric he seems to be expressing discontent with the world he has found himself in.but by the end of the song,he seems to have found the strength to say "dont hang on".I think we can all relate.sometimes life leaves us saying "there must be more".But other times we are able to face the brutal truth and find real peace and beauty in that truth.

Live life to the fullest, embrace it, savor it, and don't look back with any regret. For ultimately what we have is only a certain amount of time. When that is up the show is over. There are no re-do's.
So basically it's the message that life is fleeting, nothing lasts forever, and when you are gone the passage of time will erase your existence.
So don't get bogged down in trivialities and meaningless endeavors.
It's all about TIME. Don't WASTE it!
anonymous Oct 22nd, 2012 10:39pm report
This song sounds pretty hopeless... It may or may not have Christian influences, but the main message is..... Life is meaningless... Ordinarily, I'd be suicidal after hearing this song... But.... Love shall never die... And this unending Joy that I found inside of me... That will ALSO never die.... :)

This song purely means that there is nothing else out there. Yes, Livgren wrote this, but he wrote this prior to becoming a Christian. He was on the 700 Club when Pat Robertson asked him how, he as a christian, was able to write this song. Uh, Pat, that was before Livgren found Christ.
anonymous Mar 6th, 2012 3:27pm report
I think this song speaks to the soul spirit. I don't think it's morose or depressing. I think it's cleansing. It tells us how life is. It is fleeting, momentary... Life goes on until it's gone. And that we shouldn't burden ourselves with these temporary things. When we fight, when we lose someone, when we fail, when we are sad, these are temporay, because they are "dust in the wind." Our lives are brief here, easily forgotten as people live only for themselves. I think the song says don't be too proud of all you have done, all you have accumulated because they will be gone someday as will you. Also because the lyrics were written from a line in a Native American poem,I believe the poem also reminds that because we are fleeting on this earth, we ought to tread lightly.
anonymous Feb 20th, 2012 2:24pm report
The best interpretation of this song I heard from a high school classmate who ended up dying way too young of cancer so his thoughts really resonate with me. I said that I thought the song was depressing and he told me it was magical because when he hears it he thinks of glitter flying in the wind. Now when I hear the song, I think about being connected to the earth through birth and death and the wonderful sparkle of glitter in the wind that my friend Mark envisioned as the beauty of the lives that have passed.
anonymous Feb 4th, 2012 2:10pm report
I think this is a very beautiful song. It reminds me us (humans) as the dust and the winds are the power of our creator. I believed we are blown by the power of GOD in every place or jouney of our lives.
Sophia Nov 25th, 2011 11:48am report
Psalm 103:14-17
" 14 For He knows what we are made of,
remembering that we are DUST.
15 As for man, his days are like grass—
he blooms like a flower of the field;
16 when the WIND passes over it, it vanishes,
and its place is no longer known.
17 But from eternity to eternity
the LORD's faithful love is toward those who fear Him,
and His righteousness toward the grandchildren"
I don't think you there is any other way to understand this song without using this scripture verse. The Bible never says we will live forever on this world, or without pain and suffering. But it does say we will be with Christ in eternity if we acknowledge our sins, and believe that Christ died for them, and loves us with faithful love.
This was my father's favorite song. He died a week ago today, after having become a Christian at age 82. We played it at his Memorial today, a testimony to the fact that while his body was dust in the wind, his memories live on in our hearts, and he is with Christ, with no more pain and suffering. My father lived life to the max - professional athlete, Ph.D professor and educator, coach and mentor, but in the end, he realized only God mattered, and only God lasted forever, and he wanted to be with him.
anonymous Oct 5th, 2011 10:54pm report
this song is not about being worthless or meaningless. i think its about how we are in such a big world and we seem so small "like a drop of water in an endless sea". it also says " i close my eyes, only for a moment and the moments gone" that is saying that you can close your eyes and worry about whats next to come or you can enjoy it because you can never buy that moment back no matter how much money you have, God will still choose when you die. its saying that you can sit and in fear of what is next because the truth is that no one knows. you should enjoy everything you have even though our memories and us will eventually be forgotten and lost like "dust in the wind" or we feel so small like we are nothing. its about how our choices can effect our future of unknown and that we should just do whatever feels right because our rememberance on this world will just become dust in the wind

BILOXI, Mississippi -- A refrigerator, assorted socks and shoes, PVC pipe, bones of unknown origin, a tent and part of a billboard were among the items volunteers found on Deer Island Tuesday during the 9th annual Renew Our Rivers cleanup campaign.
Some 150 volunteers turned out for the day-long cleanup on Earth Day. Sunny skies and temperatures in the low 70's made for ideal conditions on the barrier island.
Tuesday's Deer Island cleanup was the first of seven such events scheduled as part of this year's Renew Our Rivers campaign, sponsored annually by Mississippi Power, with the support of the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources, Keep Mississippi Beautiful, the City of Biloxi, Harrison County and Waste Management.
The event continues to grow thanks in no small part to the participation of several local casinos, including the Beau Rivage, Golden Nugget, Hard Rock Casino, Grand Casino and Margaritaville -- all of whom sent numbers of volunteers for Tuesday's island cleanup.
"We've doubled our number of volunteers with more casinos coming on board," said Mississippi Power spokesman Jeff Shepard.
And those extra hands are essential in accomplishing Renew Our Rivers goal of cleaning Mississippi coastal waterways.
"We're done events like this on about 20 different waterways," said Mark Loughman, Director of Environmental Affairs for Mississippi Power. "We've been everywhere from the Chunky River to the Gulf."
The volunteers who combed Deer Island for garbage and debris Tuesday were both enjoying a beautiful day on the island and taken aback at the amount of trash they found.
"We've been finding socks, shoes, lots of trash, ice bags, styrofoam -- it's really gross," said 9-year-old Libby Roberts of Gulfport, volunteering with her mom, Christine Roberts. They have been volunteering with Renew Our Rivers for four years.
"I think it's a good experience for her," Christine Roberts said of her daughter.
Sean Kennedy of Biloxi was participating in his first ROR and brought along his mom, Jennifer Kennedy.
"Mom was relaxing watching the news on TV and I heard them say they were looking for volunteers to clean up Deer Island," Sean Kennedy said.
"I instantly thought `I want to do that.' I made mom come with me."
By the end of the day, Shepard said volunteers had clearly exceeded last year's total of 1 1/2 tons of trash and debris collected. Over the past eight years since Renew Our Rivers began, some 275 tons has been collected.

As Ed Stefanski is currently debating choices for head coach of the Philadelphia 76ers from Eddie Jordan to Tom Thibodeau and Doug Collins, he has a position just as important to fill during the offseason.
With a 33 year old Andre Miller becoming a free agent off of a $10 million salary last year Sixers management must contemplate whether to continue with him or to find a young franchise point guard.
Available on the list are two current 76ers, two restricted free agents, and five possible players from the 2009 NBA Draft. With Tuesday's lottery determining the order of the first three teams draft, and possibly others due to one drafting higher than expected, point guards could either be plentiful or thinning out by pick 17.

I'm always hungry at night, right before I go to bed. Some misinformed folks still believe that eating on the cusp of a snooze turns the food right into fat. That's not true, you only pack on the pounds if you are taking in more calories than you expend! However, bedtime snacking shouldn't be a mindless, free-for-all. Smart sleepers will focus on foods that fuel muscles, keep hunger at bay and maintain blood sugar levels so that the brain doesn't wake up the body.
Those prone to indigestion and heartburn will want to avoid spicy foods and acidic foods like citrus and tomato sauce and (horrors) chocolate. Sorry, but you'll also have to put away the Ben & Jerrys; high-fat foods can do a number on your digestive system and are no-no's for late-night snacking. However, a protein and carb balanced mini-meal of 200-ish calories is the perfect pick and portion for late-night noshing.
In order to satisfy my sweet tooth (and keep from eating a whole share-size bag of M&Ms), I've started treating myself to a protein shake or smoothies about an hour before bedtime. For me, it's an optimal amount of food that doesn't feel like a brick sitting in my stomach all night. Check out this yummy Caffeine-Free Caramel Apple Tea Smoothie I made with vanilla protein power and my favorite rooibos tea. Rooibos tea is naturally caffeine-free and contains protective antioxidants, as well as calcium, zinc and other nutrients that are helpful to a runner.
Caffeine-Free Caramel Apple Tea Smoothie Recipe
- 2 teabags Caramel Apple Rooibos Tea (by Republic of Tea)
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 1.83-oz packet GNC Lean Shake 25 French Vanilla (substitution 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder of choice)
- 1 – 2 packets stevia sweetener, optional (Truvia)
- Ice as needed
- Dash of ground cinnamon
Pour ½ cup boiling water over tea bags, let seep for at least 5 minutes. Drop in an ice cube to cool tea down a bit. In the pitcher of a blender, add tea, almond milk, applesauce, protein powder, stevia (if more sweetness desired) and ice. Blend until smooth. Split among two glasses and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Serves 2.

Simple, fast PERFECTION!
Excellent! I did do some reading to sort of supplement all of the great info in this recipe just because it was my first attempt at steaks in my cast iron pan. We had New York strip steaks, and I used canola oil (wasn't sure if the extra virgin olive oil I had would be a bad idea due to smoke point). Instead of 3 minutes each side, I went with 2 minutes each, then a pat of butter before the oven. I used a digital meat thermometer to be certain (aimed for 125 degrees since it still cooks up to 130 degrees while sitting in foil), and that part was a bit less than 5 minutes with our cuts. Yes, the whole place was super smoky, but it was more than worth it. For the sauce, I only had Champagne on hand (day after New Year's Eve and all...), so I used it to deglaze and added some Dijon mustard, crushed garlic cloves and chopped fresh basil, and it also made a nice sauce. Even if I did some things slightly different, your recipe gave clueless about cast iron cookware me the awesome outline from which to create the best at home steak either of us have ever had, so all the glory and all the stars to you for sharing.
Delicious! My steaks were thick, and cooked as directed, the outside was blackened and the inside medium-well which was just right. Just something to watch if you prefer a rare steak. Only problem I had was the billowing smoke that results from cooking a steak in a hot cast iron skillet. A few hours later, it's still a bit foggy in here, but the results were well worth the smoke! While the suggested sauce sounds fantastic, I made Blue Cheese-Shallot Butter #67397 and enjoyed the combination very much. Thanks for wonderful directions and a great steak!

I never really played much of Halo in the past, but since I got a free copy of the Halo 3 demo with Crackdown I figured "what the hell" and tried it out last night. The game itself really isn't that much different than the previous entries in the series from what I can tell. The beta allegedly has 3 maps available (and Bungie's website indicates such), but so far out of the 3 games I've played all I've seen is Snowbound. Of the 3 games I played, two were "Slayer" (aka basic deathmatch) and one was "Crazy King" (aka King of the Hill). I did pretty terrible my first round of Slayer(got next to last place), but I took second in the other two rounds. All of this is with never having played a single round of Halo 2, so I guess their matchmaking service must be doing something right to put me against players of equal levels of suck. I might eventually pick up this game when its released, but there's no rush to it. I honestly think that last year's Gears of War was a much more innovative and impressive game, but I guess we'll have to wait until this fall to see if that statement holds up.

Sergio Martinez: Murray Will Not Last Beyond The Eight
The boxer who beat Lionel Messi into second place as Argentina's sports star of the year, has big plans for 2013.
WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez said in Buenos Aires on Wednesday he would stop Briton Martin Murray within eight rounds in his next title defence in April.
Martinez, who was voted Argentina's sport personality of the year on Tuesday night, ahead of goal-scoring football hero Messi, will make his first defense since beating Mexican Julio Cesar Chavez Jr in Las Vegas in September.
The fight will take place in Buenos Aires on April 27, possibly at the Velez Sarsfield soccer stadium.
"Murray is a great sportsman; to be respected. He's young and strong. It's great that he wants to give his all but the fight won't go past the eighth round," Martinez told reporters on Wednesday.
Murray, the WBA's top-ranked middleweight, said he respected Martinez as an excellent fighter.
"He began at the bottom and today he's the most powerful in the division. But I'm better and can beat him," said Murray.
"It will be a great opportunity for me to show the world who I am."
Martinez, known as Maravilla (Marvel) is regarded as one of the four best boxers in the world, pound for pound. Murray is promoted by former world champion Ricky Hatton.
The 37-year-old Martinez's professional record stands at 50-2-2, including 28 knockouts. Murray is 30 years old and has won 25 fights and drawn once.
[QUOTE=The Smash;12838672]Then why was Martinez bloodied, battered and undertaking major surgery after the fight?

Ever since the dawn of computer system pc gaming there has been a drive to enhance the way we interact with video games. There have various input approaches including joysticks, gamepads, guiding wheels, and even full on mech control hubs with numerous buttons. All those things aside, the best method of input is still the pc gaming mouse and keyboard.
Now I make sure you are asking yourself, "With numerous options on the market, how do I understand which mouse to buy?" This is simply a question of personal taste, however I can help you to find out ways to pick the best video gaming mouse for you by considering just 4 qualities when picking your utmost video gaming mouse. The qualities are: customization level, performance, number of buttons, and DPI.
Personalization is essential because it can alter the method your mouse feels in your hand making you feel at one with your video game or not. One of my preferred video gaming mice is the R.A.T 7 pc gaming mouse from cyborg. This mouse has the ability to alter the weight of the mouse so that it can feel heavy or light in your hand. The length of the mouse can also be changed by sliding a plastic piece at the bottom of the mouse forward or backwards.
In addition, you can modify the thumb and pinky rests on the mouse so that your hand doesn't feel tired out after long gaming sessions. All this is necessary since it influences how you connect with your mouse, but when you are attempting to play a video game with the best accuracy that is where capability can be found in . You can download free games at this www.iwantcheats.net .
With The R.A.T 7 mouse there is a sniper button which reduces the DPI in the case that you are playing a first individual shooter and want to increase your precision. With the Razer Naga Epic Video gaming mouse there are 12 buttons on the left of the mouse that can be specifically mapped to cast different spells when playing video games like World of Warcraft or Everquest. Generally the performance of a mouse is extremely reliant on the firmware that comes with it and how well that firmware lets you alter the consumption of the mouse buttons.
Mouse buttons and DPI are the 2 most important things to think about when choosing the ideal video gaming mouse for you. I personally like to play World of Warcraft so I chose a mouse with upwards of 17 buttons that can be remapped the method I want. If you are playing a very first individual shooter like Call of Responsibility or Counterstrike the number of buttons is not as crucial as the DPI of the mouse.

It depends on what you feel comfortable with. I love a corset back style, and I'm 39
I wouldn't over-worry about it being in style, it's not like a totally faddy design element.
As for being too busy, it depends on the rest of the dress style. Perhaps you can share a link to the dress pattern.
Now that I see the low-cut back of the pattern, I'm worried that the lacing might be too low. It looks like it would be going down to the middle of the rear. Another alternative would be to keep the zip, but add loops above the zipper to the sides of the back straps and use lacing just as a decorative effect.
