With more than 75 corporate partners, the organization now hosts more than 150 free events each year, along with an array of media to enrich and engage the Mid-South.

Paul Young gets a lot more attention these days than he did when he was the first director of the city-county Office of Sustainability. The attention comes with being the city director of Housing and Community Development where virtually all of the funding comes from the federal government.That federal funding has changed the face of public housing in the city in the last 25 years. There is only one large public housing project left in the city as a result of the federal funding and its use by Young's predecessor, Robert Lipscomb.And what Lipscomb did with the job combined with being the executive director of the Memphis Housing Authority is why a lot of people want to get to know Paul Young these days.Our centerpiece story by Madeline Faber in Tuesday's edition makes clear that Young has no desire to wield that kind of power. And it is unlikely anyone in the near future will have the kind of autonomy Lipscomb did.But beyond that there is still the flow of a lot of federal dollars and Young has some ideas based on his experience in government and finance prior to coming to HCD – everything in government is initials.It's a much different experience than Lipscomb's. Lipscomb coined the phrase "ending public housing as we know it" and at times that slogan wasn't followed with a lot of detail about what came after public housing was demolished, especially with the first of the projects to fall.The last public housing project, Foote Homes, will be demolished on Young's watch which makes his tenure important if more limited than Lipscomb's tenure.

Fick hired to lead Texas group lobbying for slot machines at tracks
Dan Fick, former executive director of the Jockey Club, has been hired to head a Texas organization that is lobbying for slot machines at state racetracks, according to the organization.
Fick, a Texas native who was most recently the director of racing at Remington Park in Oklahoma City, will take his place at the organization on Jan. 1, according to a release. Fick also was the director of racing for the American Quarter Horse Association, headquartered in Amarillo, for nearly 20 years.
The organization, which is called Texas Horse Organizations for Racing, Showing, and Eventing, was formed in order to lobby for the legalization of slot machines at Texas racetracks and at Native American reservations in the state. The founding members of the organization include representatives of numerous horse breeds, including Thoroughbreds, and supporters include the chambers of commerce in many cities in which slot machines would be located.
Efforts to legalize expanded gambling in Texas have been unsuccessful in the past. Although surrounded by states that have legal casinos, Texas has resisted calls to expand gambling, including efforts to authorize new offtrack betting parlors or to sanction account wagering.

Dr. Billante did an excellent job on the surgery and I have minimal scarring. However, after asking and ensuring that Dr Billante was in network for Cigna, I am being billed for out of network charges for an assistant surgeon ($5000) and the anesthesiologist ($800). While his services and bedside manner were fantastic, the billing process has been a nightmare and I felt misled and lied to about the charges and am currently going through appeal processes.
Dr. Billante was very professional and thorough in the exam for my child. He is a very caring and experienced doctor who took the time to answer all of my questions.
great overall experience. He is very knowledgeable, great at explaining/educating, gave a great treatment plan that began conservatively and progressed as needed. I got a second opinion which was in agreement. Great f/u, great staff...everything was great! Dr. Billante was a gem to work with and I would recommend him to anyone. 5 stars!!!
I came under the care of Dr Billante after rupturing my achellis tendon during a basketball game. I initally went to an emergency care clinic that his team (Greater Austin Orthopedics) happens to share an office. I was lucky enough to skip the general practitioner and go right to the orthopedic surgeon (Dr Billante). After my injury I was due for a little good luck. My experience w/ Dr Billante has been top notch. He is very professional and well spoken. I like that he is easy to talk to and he made me feel reassured that he was going to be able to fix me. Surgery is not always the solution to this type of injury but Dr Billante went through my options and gave me his opinion. I am 33yr old and very active. Due to the severity of my injury was obvious, even to me, that it required surgery. He explained everything very thoroughly and was happy to answer my list of questions. He even called me the evening of my surgery to make sure I was doing fine. I've had two other surgeries and that was a first. The only thing I wish was different is that he had a crystal ball and stopped me from playing basketball that morning. Short of that, he has been great and I can't think of any criticism. Keep up the good work Dr. Billante.
Was told my teenage son had a torn tendon and he would need surgery and 6-8 weeks of physical therapy, twice a week. It took almost 5 weeks to get in to see the doctor, to have an MRI done, and to get back to find out the results. My son was annoyed by the wait and that he'd already been in a sling the whole time and figured his arm was healing by now so we opted to not have the surgery.Three months later he hurt his shoulder while at Schlitterbahn, so we took him to another doctor. In a week and a half this second doctor saw him twice, had an MRI done and had a diagnosis. From looking at the MRI done the first time he couldn't see what Dr. Billante was seeing, meaning the torn tendon. His diagnosis was a strain and physical therapy was recommended to help strengthen the shouler.My son almost had an unnecessary surgery to his shoulder and 2 months of physical therapy twice a week because of Dr. Billante.

Shame of the 'blame game' in coverage
Published 01/08/2014 | 02:30
There was a time when our politicians and media had one main fear when covering Middle East wars: that no one should ever call them anti-semitic.
Or so it was until the latest bloodbath in Gaza, which is being so graphically covered by journalists that our masters are suffering a new experience.
It's not fear of being called anti-semitic, but fear of their own viewers – ordinary folk so outraged by the war crimes committed against the women and children of Gaza that they are demanding to know why – even now – politicians are refusing to treat their own people like moral, decent, intelligent human beings.
Yet still – every time another blood-soaked child appears on the screen – the news presenters talk about the "blame game".
BLAME GAME? Do they think this is a bloody football match? Or a bloody tragedy?
It goes like this. Civilians are killed.
Reporters call it "tank fire" (Hamas has no tanks).
Israel says it is a mis-fired Hamas rocket. Hamas says it is Israel's work. So it's a "blame game".
No one can actually BE blamed – and thus we can shrug off the responsibility and shake our head at it all.
How many times does the 'New York Times' expect its readers to tolerate editorials like last week's effort? There had been "deadly attacks" in Gaza, readers were told.
The total dead came to 750, "a vast majority being Palestinians".
And then the get-out: there were "competing charges" – Israel or Hamas or a Hamas ally – over the attack, and thus "what really matters now is that some way be found to stop this carnage".
So that's OK then. "Blame game" equals "no blame". (© Independent News Service)

PHNOM PENH, CAMBODIA—The Associated Press reports that tests show a boat found in Cambodia earlier this year near the Angkor Wat temple complex was made in the early thirteenth century A.D. Measuring 42 feet long, the boat was found in a riverbed by a farmer digging for mud and is the oldest to be discovered in Cambodia. Until it is ready for public viewing, the boat is being kept underwater in a pond at Angkor Wat. To read more about the archaeology of Angkor Wat, go to "Remapping the Khmer Empire."
BEARDSTON, ILLINOIS—Archaeologists are excavating at the Lawrenz Gun Club site, one of the largest known fortified Mississippian Period villages in the Illinois River Valley, reports the Journal Courier. The site's defensive palisade was built around A.D. 1150, but a team led by Indiana University archaeologist Jeremy Wilson has unearthed another structure dating to A.D. 1100, which was part of an earlier and smaller settlement of some 100 people. The later fortified village could have housed up to 600 people and covered some 50 acres. The team has also unearthed a number of pot sherds as well as stone tools. "What we're seeing here is ceramics that are either traded up or crafted in a very similar fashion to what was being made down near modern day St. Louis at that time," said Wilson. "The stone is also non-local. They're getting a lot of this material from other parts of the lower Midwest." To read about another site dating to the same period, go to "Mississippian Burning."
ROME, ITALY—Archaeologists excavating a shop on the outskirts of Pompeii have found four skeletons, several gold coins, and a necklace pendant, according to an Associated Press report. The skeletons belonged to young people who died in the back of the shop when nearby Mount Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79. There was an oven in the shop that the archaeologists believe may have been used to make bronze objects. There is evidence that the shop was targeted by looters seeking treasure after the eruption, but they apparently missed the gold coins and the gold-leaf-foil, flower-shaped pendant. Archaeologists have been excavating a second shop as well, though they are unsure what its purpose was. The dig has also turned up a fourth-century B.C. tomb containing an adult skeleton surrounded by six black vases. For more on the archaeology of Pompeii, go to "Family History."
RAMAT-GAN, ISRAEL—Archaeologists have found evidence that ancient Canaanites imported and sacrificed animals from Egypt around 5,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of donkey, sheep, and goat remains found in Early Bronze Age levels at Gath shows that the animals were born and raised in the Nile River valley and arrived in Canaan shortly before their deaths. "That there were trade connections between Egypt and Canaan in the Early Bronze Age is not new," said Aren Maeir, head of the excavations in Gath, told Haaretz. "The fact that animals were a part of the trade—and that they went from Egypt to Canaan—is very interesting." Among the imported animal remains was a complete skeleton of a donkey that was found under the foundations of a residential building. The donkey was apparently sacrificed and then put in place before the start of construction, a practice known from other Early Bronze Age sites in Israel. For more, go to "The Gates of Gath."
NARA, JAPAN—In the south of Japan's largest island of Honshu, archaeologists digging at the site of a future hotel have discovered remnants of 2,500-year-old rice paddies, reports the Asahi Shimbun. The paddies were planted during the Yayoi period, which lasted from 300 B.C. to A.D. 300. Traces of small rice paddies dating to this period had been found in the area, but the newly discovered paddies number around 500, and some measure up to 530 square feet. The discovery shows rice cultivation existed on a massive scale in Japan earlier than previously believed. To read more about archaeology in Japan, go to "Khubilai Khan Fleet."
ZANZIBAR, TANZANIA—Sci-News reports that seven bone tools from East Africa's Kuumbi Cave, including five projectile points, a bone awl, and a notched bone tube, were examined by a team led by Michelle Langley of Australian National University. The researchers suggest the 13,000-year-old projectile points, which are slender and short, may have been too small to bring down the zebra, buffalo, waterbuck, common reedbuck, bushbuck, and bush pig whose bones were also found in Kuumbi Cave. Langley suggests that the projectiles were used in conjunction with poison, perhaps made from the poisonous fruit of the Mkunazi plant. (Charcoal from the Mkunazi plant was found during a previous investigation.) For more on archaeology in this area, go to "Stone Towns of the Swahili Coast."
FREDERICTON, CANADA—A campsite estimated to be around 12,000 years old has been unearthed near a highway in the province of New Brunswick. Provincial archaeologist Brent Suttie said in a CBC News report that an intact campfire and 600 artifacts, mostly stone tools and flakes, have been recovered. Additional evidence suggests that the campsite was situated on the shores of a large glacial lake. The site's age is within 500 years of the oldest evidence of human occupation found in the region. For more, go to "Canada Finds Erebus."
SZIGETVAR, HUNGARY—Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, ruler of the Ottoman Empire, died in 1566 in Hungary during the siege of Szigetvar Castle. Last year, Norbert Pap of the University of Pecs announced he had found the shrine where the sultan's organs were interred before his remains were transported to Istanbul. Now, according to a report by the Anadolu Agency, Pap claims to have uncovered the mosque built next to the shrine by Suleiman's son, Sultan Selim II. "According to archives, in the very same area there must also be a 1570 [era] dervish lodge used by the dervishes coming from Bosnia and Herzegovina," Pap said. He and his team are continuing to look for the dervish lodge. The complex was destroyed by Austrian Habsburg soldiers in 1692. For more, go to "Temple of the Storm God."
LINCOLN, ENGLAND—The Lincolnshire Echo reports that the remains of two babies and an adult have been uncovered in a Roman cemetery in Lincoln's city center. One of the children had been buried beneath a roof tile. Cremated remains were also found in an urn. City archaeologist Alastair MacIntosh explained that evidence of Roman buildings dating back to the first century had been found in the area, but the discovery of the cemetery was a surprise. Since Roman burials were usually placed outside the city walls, the site could help researchers determine the early limits of the city of Lindum. Further excavation could also reveal the purpose of a large stone slab unearthed at the site. "What we have uncovered so far indicates that we have probably located part of a cemetery used over an extended period of time, but we can't draw definitive conclusions at this early stage," Gavin Glover of Allen Archaeology explained. To read about another Roman burial in England, go to "What's in a Name?"
ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA—Humans and megafauna coexisted in South America for at least 1,000 years and for perhaps as long as 3,000 years before the animals went extinct, according to a new study led by Alan Cooper of the University of Adelaide. Humans were living at the archaeological site at Monte Verde, located at the edge of Patagonia, some 14,600 years ago. It had been thought that as these hunters moved into North and South America, they killed off large animal populations. Cooper and an international team of scientists carbon-dated animal bones from caves across southern South America, and studied their DNA. They found that the megafauna all died out within a 300-year period around 12,300 years ago, a time when the climate was warming rapidly after a long cold period. Cooper says that the change in climate would have changed the vegetation in the region, producing more rainfall and forests. Only the ancestors of llama and alpaca survived the combination of habitat destruction and human hunting. "We might expect the same processes to be happening again," he told ABC News Australia. For more, go to "America, in the Beginning."
VENICE, ITALY—Evidence of wine has been discovered in a vessel unearthed at Aradetis Orgora, a site in Georgia associated with the Kura-Araxes culture, by a team of archaeologists from Ca'Foscari University in Venice and the Georgian National Museum in Tbilisi. The Mirror reports that the animal-shaped vessel, which dates to around 3000 B.C., is missing its head, but still has three small feet and a hole on its back. It was unearthed near a similar vessel and a jar on the burned floor of a building thought to have been used for cultic activities. Palynologist Eliso Kvavadze found well-preserved pollen grains of Vitis vinifera, or common grape vine, in the vessel. The team suggests that the wine was poured out as offerings to the gods or as memorials for the dead. To read about another find from Georgia, go to "Homo erectus Stands Alone."
IPPLEPEN, ENGLAND—Coins, a road, and imported pottery vessels suggest that Roman influence stretched further into southwest Britain than had been previously thought, according to a report in The Guardian. Archaeologists from the University of Exeter, the Portable Antiquities Scheme, Devon county council, and Cotswold Archaeology began searching for a Roman settlement after metal detectorists discovered 150 Roman coins in an unexpected area. They think the road was probably constructed by the Roman army in the first century A.D., and was maintained over a period of 300 years. The team also found a cemetery near the road that was in use between the sixth and eighth centuries. Handles from amphoras that held wine, oil, and fish sauce have also been found. "The presence of these kinds of vessels demonstrates that the people living here were at least influenced in some way by the Romans—they have adopted Romanized ways of eating and drinking which shows that some of the locals developed a taste for Mediterranean products such as wine and olives," said Danielle Wootton, Devon finds liaison officer. For more on Roman finds in England, go to "A Villa under the Garden."
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA—Scientists have studied a rare skeleton from the Silla culture, which ruled over part of the Korean Peninsula from 57 B.C. to A.D. 935. "The skeletons are not preserved well in the soil of Korea," bioanthropologist Dong Hoon Shin of Seoul National University College of Medicine told Live Science. The skeleton, of a woman in her late 30s, was found in a traditional coffin that had been buried near the historic capital of the Silla Kingdom, Gyeongju. Analysis of her mitochondrial DNA suggests that she belonged to a genetic lineage that is present in East Asia today. Carbon isotopes in her bones indicate that she ate a vegetarian diet. The reconstruction of her facial features and head shape from skull fragments suggests that the woman had an elongated skull. Physical anthropologist Eun Jin Woo of Seoul National University thinks that the skull grew that way naturally, since it does not display the shape changes usually seen when heads are deliberately deformed. "In this regard, we think her head should be considered as normal variation in the group," Woo said. For more, go to "Mysterious Golden Sacrifice."
NOVOSIBIRSK, RUSSIA—The Siberian Times reports that more than 20 petroglyphs estimated to be 4,000 years old have been found in a remote area of the eastern Transbaikal region. Scientists learned of the red and orange ocher paintings, discovered by hunters, about three years ago. Sergei Alkin of Novosibirsk University described one of the images as a circle with a cross inside it. He thinks it may represent a shaman with a drum. Other images feature points, which may have been used for counting, and lines. "As for the number of vertical lines above the horizontal line, it is quite possible that these show dugout canoes with people sitting in them," he said. He adds that the members of the research team have not found any evidence of ritual activity at the site, but they think the artists may have lived nearby, on the estuary of the Largi River. For more, go to "Letter from Siberia: Fortress of Solitude."
COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS—The restoration of La Belle, a seventeenth-century French ship discovered in 1995, has been completed at Texas A&M University's Conservation Research Laboratory. La Belle was one of four ships sent to explore and colonize the Gulf Coast area under the command of Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. La Salle and 300 settlers missed the mouth of the Mississippi River, however, and La Belle ended up grounded during a storm in 1686 in Matagorda Bay, around 100 miles southwest of Houston, heavily laden with supplies. The Guardian reports that archaeologists recovered a wide range of artifacts, including cannons, long guns, swords, Jesuit rings, combs, clothing, glass bottles and beads, brass tins, casks, and pewter plates, along with the ship's hull, which had been heavily damaged by burrowing worms. "The La Belle herself is just the largest artifact that came out of the excavation," said archaeologist Peter Fix. He explained that the fragile timbers were removed from the Gulf, transported in tanks of water to the lab, and freeze dried so that the conservators could carefully remove the water. Then the timbers were cleaned with brushes and chisels. The remains of La Belle are now on display at the Texas State History Museum in Austin. For more on the archaeology of shipwrecks, go to "Is it Esmeralda?"
CAIRO, EGYPT—Engineer Glen Dash of the Glen Dash Research Foundation and Egyptologist Mark Lehner of Ancient Egypt Research Associates (AERA) took new measurements of the Great Pyramid of Giza to try to determine its original size and orientation. The 4,500-year-old pyramid, constructed for the pharaoh Khufu, is the largest of the three pyramids on the Giza Plateau, but most of its smooth limestone casing was removed and reused in antiquity. The scientists looked for surviving casing stones on the pyramid's platform, and marks that suggest where the edges of the casing stones once rested. They found 84 points along the original edges and marked them on a grid system developed by AERA to map the Giza Plateau. Statistical analysis of the new measurements indicate the west side of the pyramid was about five inches longer than the east side. "The base is not quite square," Dash told Live Science. He suspects that the pyramid builders laid the structure out on a grid oriented on the cardinal directions, with just a slight degree of error. Additional research could reveal how the ancient Egyptians accomplished this feat. For more, go to "Egypt's Immigrant Elite."
BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS—Population geneticists Iosif Lazaridis and David Reich of Harvard Medical School suggest that farming was developed by two different populations in the Middle East. They obtained genetic material, which is poorly preserved in hot climates, from the tiny ear bones of 44 people who lived in the Middle East between 3,500 and 14,000 years ago. Nature reports the researchers found that the Neolithic farmers who lived across the Zagros Mountains of western Iran were more closely related to hunter-gatherers in the region than they were to farmers in the southern Levant. "There has been a school of thought arguing that everything happens first in the southern Levant and everyone learns how to be farmers in from this initial dispersal," said Roger Matthews of the University of Reading, who is also co-director of the Central Zagros Archaeological Project. "But the archaeological evidence shows very strong local traditions that are clearly not in communication with each other, persisting for centuries if not millennia." These two groups of farmers may have eventually mixed while looking for tool-making materials in eastern Turkey. For more, go to "Europe's First Farmers."
MANTEO, NORTH CAROLINA—Two small fragments of pottery discovered near the shores of Roanoke Island could be linked to the colonization attempts sponsored by English courtier Sir Walter Raleigh. Eric Deetz, an archaeologist with the First Colony Foundation, thinks the blue, white, and brown fragments were part of a jar that held ointment or medicine, and may have belonged to Thomas Harriot or another member of the lost colony. Harriot traveled to North Carolina in 1585, on the second of three trips sponsored by Raleigh, and he is known to have studied the local plants and animals. The pottery was found near the site where the remains of a barrel well—a well lined with barrels whose tops and bottoms have been removed—were uncovered in the 1980s. "That pottery had something to do with the Elizabethan presence on that island," Deetz said in a report by The Virginian-Pilot. National Park Service cultural resource manager Jami Lanier adds that additional artifacts may be found in the area. The excavation of the site is a priority because of the danger of it eroding away. To read about another recent discovery in Virginia, go to "Ship Underground."
GUJARAT, INDIA—The Indian Express reports that structures resembling a Buddhist monastery have been unearthed in the ancient city of Vadnagar in western India. In the seventh century A.D., Chinese traveler Hiuen Tsang wrote about ten Buddhist monasteries in India, including in the city of Vadnagar. "We have unearthed six or seven monastic cells but the entire planning can only be ascertained after extended excavation," said archaeologist Madhulika Samanta of the Archaeological Survey of India. She thinks the entire complex was square-shaped and had an entrance and a verandah on its northern side. Traces of a water management system and metallurgical workshops were also found. More than 4,000 artifacts, including religious sculptures, pottery, and silver and copper coins, have been recovered. The earliest building phase of the complex could date back to the first century A.D. Modern structures built by locals on the site have prevented further research. For more, go to "Letter from India: Living Heritage at Risk."
WILTSHIRE, ENGLAND—A research team from Wessex Archaeology has excavated a large Anglo-Saxon cemetery discovered in the 1970s near the village of Collingbourne Ducis on England's Salisbury Plain. The 1,600-year-old burials include four cremation graves and more than 80 inhumation graves placed on what had been a wooded hilltop. The team found traces of infections such as tuberculosis and leprosy among the bones. Some of the graves contained shield bosses, knives, and spearheads, and are thought to have belonged to warriors. "All of the burials seem to have an iron knife. We're not too sure if it's symbolic of reaching a particular grave, but some of the infant or small child burials have got them as well," Neil Fitzpatrick of Wessex Archaeology said in a Culture 24 report. Fitzpatrick added that most of the graves had grave goods, but individuals who had been buried in a crouched position tended to have been buried with only an iron knife. Many of the women had been buried with reused Roman beads or other jewelry. The team also found traces of funerary structures on both sides of the cemetery. To read about another recent discovery in the same area, go to "A Villa under the Garden."

Christmas Anemone
The Christmas Anemone Urticina crassicornis is a colorful and common cold water anemone from the North Pacific. If you keep a coldwater system, the Christmas Anemone is another anemone variety to add to your display. They are a moderate sized anemone with the column being about 3" (7.6 cm) in diameter, with across the crown reaching about 10" (25 cm). As long as their requirements are met, they are easy to care for. But it is a good idea to invest in a chiller before you obtain one of these guys.
Of the Urticina anemones, a couple species have very festive colors and at first glance they look very similar to one another. The Christmas Anemone Urticina crassicornis is one of these. Its similar looking relatives include the Painted Anemone Urticina grebelnyi and the Dahlia Anemone Urticina felina. Common names you'll see for these fancy anemones include the Mottled Anemone, Painted Urticina, Northern Red Anemone, Painted Tealia, Red and Green Anemone, Northern Red Anemone, Dahlia anemone, and Thick-Petaled Rose Anemone.
Although these common names are often used interchangeably, there is basically one generally accepted common name for each species. And though these Urticina anemones can look quite similar to each other, each one has its own unique characteristic to identify it by.
The unique characteristic of the Christmas Anemone is that it always has a smooth column. It ranges from pale orange to reddish-brown often contrasted with stripes or irregular patches. The oral disc is a pale white or yellow, usually sharing the same solid color in the tentacles. The mouth is reddish and there are red radial bands outlining the base of each tentacle.
When caring for this Anemone, using similar husbandry for other cold water anemones is suggested. Like all anemones, these Painted Anemones use their venomous cells or nematocysts found in their tentacles to sting and deflect any possible threats or attacks. But they mostly utilize them for stunning and capturing prey. Some predators of this anemone can be certain nudibranchs, sea stars, and snails.

Christmas Anemone feeding
The Christmas or Northern Sea Anemone has a few name that reflect the temperature of the waters they are found in.... cold! They are similar in appearance and stickiness of most "rock anemones" and are easy to feed. The challenge is keeping your tank between 50.0 to 68.0° F (10.0 to 20.0° C), provide enough light and good water movement. They are great in a cold water nano tank and are easy to feed!
Habitat: Distribution / Background
Sea Anemone Facts: The Christmas Anemone or Northern Red Anemone Urticina crassicornis was described by O. F. Mueller in 1776. The Urticina genus belongs to the Actiniidae family, and this genus contains 6 species. It was formerly called the Tealia crassicornis. Some other common names they are known by are Painted Anemone, Northern Red Anemone, and Painted Urticina. This anemone is not on the IUCN Red List for endangered species.
Where are Sea Anemones Found: The U. crassicornis is widely distributed and common in the North Pacific and other northern seas. .
Sea Anemone Habitat: These anemones are found in intertidal colder waters down to about 98 feet (30 m). They inhabit vertical rock walls that are shaded, or sand and rock covered shore lines as well as tide pools. They are found solitary or in small groupings. Similar to other cold water tidal anemones, they retract their tentacles and close up if the water is sparse during low tides.
They eat prey similar to what other Urticina anemones eat such as sea urchins, small fish, crabs, mussels, gastropods, chitons, barnacles, and they may feed on stranded jellyfish. They use their venomous cells or nematocysts found in their tentacles to sting and deflect any possible threats or attacks but mostly utilize them for stunning and capturing prey. Some predators can be certain nudibranchs, sea stars and snails. The Candy Stripe Shrimp Lebbeus grandimanus is immune to its sting and lives in a commensal relationship with it.
Appearance of a Sea Anemone: The Christmas Anemone has a very smooth column that is not sticky like other Urticina. This is one characteristic which sets them apart from other species. The color of the column ranges from pale orange to reddish-brown and can have contrasting colors of stripes or irregular patches.
It does have a "foot" at the bottom of the pedal column which it uses to adhere to various surfaces. They also use this foot to move around if conditions are not ideal. They can also move by inflating themselves, detaching from the surface, and then rolling along with any current. They will move to avoid predators like starfish, but in the aquarium it is primarily if they are unhappy with the water conditions or the food.
The tentacles are well spaced and are in 5 or more rows. The top row surrounds a mouth that is reddish in color. The oral disk is more pale than the column. It is white or pale yellow with red radial bands that outline the base of each tentacle. The tentacles are usually the same color as the oral disk, and are solid with no markings. The mouth should be closed and tight, and will open when hungry, having an oval look, yet a gaping mouth is a warning signal. The U. crassicornis takes food in and expels waste through this same opening.
Sea Anemones Life Cycles: Christmas Anemones can grow up to 3" (7.6 cm) in diameter and can reach as tall as 5" (12.7 cm) or more. They can live from 60 to 80 years.
Sea Anemone Care: The Painted Anemone is easy to care for if you have appropriate lighting and cold water. As with most anemones, the tank should be at least 1 year old and stable before adding your new Painted Urticina.
When selecting a U. crassicornis, make sure the color is good, their mouth is not gaping open, and their foot and tentacles are sticky to the touch. Also, they should be attached to something and make sure there is no damage to the foot area, often a result of pulling the anemone off its surface.
To take a Christmas Anemone from another aquarium, use a thin blunt item like a credit card, gently wiggle it under the foot, slowly nudging it away from the glass. If it's attached to a rock, ideally you can simply purchase the rock as well. On a rock, it would be very wise to purchase the rock, because these guys can stick hard and would probably be damaged if removed. If you cannot purchase the rock then directing water at it or wiggling the rock gently upside down under water while tickling the foot can work.
What Do Sea Anemones Eat: The Northern Red Anemone is a carnivore. Feed your U. crassicornis chopped silversides, shrimp, krill, and mussels, fresh chopped fish (from your grocery store), as well as frozen carnivore preparations. Feed once a week or twice a month, since cold water anemones have much slower metabolisms.
Water changes of 10% bi-monthly or 20% a month are typical. Monitor your water quality for your particular situation and adjust your water changes accordingly. An average sized Christmas Anemone is equal to about one fish as far as waste production is concerned. Purigen and Poly-fiber are great products to help in maintaining water quality. Purigen is a synthetic polymer that removes soluble and insoluble impurities from water at an exceptionally high rate and capacity, helping to control ammonia, nitrites and nitrates. Additions of Iodine and and trace elements are suggested.
The typical reef environment is what is needed for your Christmas Anemone, but it must be a cold water reef. It is a good idea to invest in a chiller before you obtain one of these guys. They need live rock or some other solid material they can attach to. Provide some rock crevices as well as rocky overhangs. Be sure to have all of your pumps covered. Most good quality pumps have guards on them and are worth the investment.
All anemones are semi-aggressive because they can be mobile, although most of the cold water anemones stay still if their needs are met. It has often been suggested to not put anemones in a reef environment because corals cannot move away from the stinging tentacles. Once you have your anemone situated and it has not moved for several months, it might be safe to add other corals. Just keep in mind these anemones will sting everything they can reach, such as corals and other invertebrates. Anemones will move if your lighting is not good, or the water quality is not to their liking.
After splitting, anemones will tolerate their own "clones" and sometimes their own species. All anemones in the tank need to have their own space, otherwise there can be a "chemical" warfare between species. This will usually cause one to not eat, shrink and eventually die. Having excellent filtration and a large tank will usually allow 2 anemones at opposite ends to thrive. You can also build a natural blockade to help prevent them from wandering into each others "space".
No sexual difference in appearance is known.
The Christmas Anemone will divide in captivity, but there is no information on propagation of cold water anemones. It may be just like other anemones. Similar to other cold water anemones, they reproduce by fission or external fertilization of egg and sperm. When they spawn, they produce larvae that will float away and eventually find a spot to land. They then attach and develop a pedal disk that grows into a new anemone.
Problems for the these anemones are pretty minimal unless your lighting, water movement, feeding and water quality are low. Then your anemone will detach to look for "better conditions." In general, if your anemone moves, it is not happy. Make sure your lighting and water quality is good, and that the food you are offering is to their liking. Some predators include certain nudibranchs, sea stars, and snails.
The Christmas Anemone is generally unavailable to aquarists through retailers.

I remember that early in the MD-90 development they were going to use an ultra-high bypass unducted fan engine to power it. I think I remember seeing it installed on a B727, it looked pretty vicious. I wonder if there were any jets built that utilize this and who owns the technology now? Would it be a good alternative to power todays jetliners?
Thanks in advance for any repsonses.

Potholes across the South East to be fixed
Councils in the South East are to receive more than £8 million pounds to repair potholes.
It's part of the governments plans to fix more than 3 million in the UK.
Kent County Council will get one of the largest pay outs across the country of £6.2 million.
It's one of the biggest investments in roads since the 1970's.
£168m offered as part of Pothole Pledge
Councils across the Meridian region have been invited to apply for a share of a £168m Pothole Fund to repair uneven roads.
The extra Government funding is thought to help repair more than three million potholes to make roads safer and smoother for motorists and other road users.
Local authorities who are given a share of the fund will have to sign a Pothole Pledge which will set out the number of potholes they will have repaired by March 2015.
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said:
"Part of this government's long term plan is investing in our roads. Potholes are a menace for all road users which is why this extra funding is provided in addition to the £10 billion already committed for councils for road maintenance.
"I want councils to rise to the challenge and to reward councils who come up with new and better ways of making repairs quickly and effectively."
The £168m fund was announced in the Chancellor's March Budget statement and is addition to the £10billion maintenance for local roads.
South's roads are the worst in the country
You may have thought it as you were driving around the region but now it's official - the roads in the South are in the worst state of repair in the country. Potholes are the big problem, and it's estimated an extra 12 billion pounds is needed to repair them. Martin Stew reports.
£3.4 million for pot hole repairs in West Sussex
West Sussex County Council is to receive around £3.4m from the Government to help repair roads damaged by severe weather.It comes after the Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin announced that an extra £140m was being made available to help authorities in the UK.
The County Council has been told it will receive £3,475,968 as part of its share.The Government released the emergency payment following the wettest winter on record.
The announcement comes weeks before the County Council launches its £30m Better Roads Programme, a two-year scheme targeting rural and residential roads in West Sussex in need of repair.
Pothole crisis as road repair cost continues to spiral
They are blighting our roads like never before. Damaging cars and costing drivers hundreds of pounds in repairs. But council's in the south say the full cost of dealing with potholes following the winter weather isn't yet known and is continuing to mount up.
In Hampshire, repairs to flood-damaged roads are already costing up to £36m. In Surrey, it's £15m and also expected to rise. Meanwhile, 400 potholes a week are being fixed on the Isle of Wight and 10 thousand potholes have been fixed in West Sussex since January.
Motoring groups say £140m pounds of emergency funding from the government to tackle the crisis is just a fraction of what's needed. As Charlotte Wilkins reports.
Peacehaven residents 'disgusted' with state of roads
Video. People living in an East Sussex town are disgusted with the state of their roads. Potholes have opened up everywhere and they claim the council are not doing enough to fix them.
Now a campaign has been launched to ensure Peacehaven gets some of the £140 million of government money to fix them.
Charlotte Wilkins spoke to Nancy Platts, Parliamentary Candidate for Peacehaven, Councillor David Brazier from Kent County Council and Roger Williams, who's Head of Highways at East Sussex County Council.
Help to fill that hole - reporting potholes
A pothole repair fund of £140 million is to be shared by councils across England. Cllr David Brazier, Cabinet member for Environment and Transport from Kent County Council, explains how you can help to get potholes fixed.
Funds for potholes 'just a fraction' of the money needed
Motoring groups say emergency funding released by the government to tackle the south's pothole crisis is just a fraction of the money needed.
A pothole repair fund of £140 million is to be shared by councils across England.
But there are claims that the sum needed to repair our flood-damaged roads is £10 billion.
If that is right, the vast majority of the region's potholes are unlikely to be repaired for at least a year.
County Council's drone captures extent of flood damage from the air
The county council say it has so far:
· Taken more than 3,500 highways calls, with fire crews receiving another 2,000
· Responded to around 315 instances of flooding affecting roads
· Carried out over 70 safety inspections to bridges and embankments
· Cleared 850 fallen trees
· Dealt with nearly 350 other incidents
· Supported vulnerable people through regular contact and home visits.
Council says bill could rise to £10 million to repair weather damage
Surrey County Council say torrential rain, strong winds and burst riverbanks over recent weeks mean engineers have been working 'around the clock' to clear hundreds of flooded roads and fallen trees, and the county council's fire and rescue service responded to thousands of calls.
Experts assessing damage to roads and river banks across the county say the original bill estimated at £5 million could rise above £10 million.
More flooding is possible, with the Environment Agency asking the county council today to remove repair scaffolding from the bridge over the Wey at the bottom of Guildford High Street in anticipation of further predicted rainfall.

Last night you and I were all spruced up in our gray tuxedos, standing at the altar in the University of Georgia Chapel, and the minister asked, "Who gives this woman to be married to this man?"
I hope you were listening closely to those words and think seriously about all they imply, because I certainly have — for a long time. I suppose I have been thinking about them since Oct. 3, 1985, when Jamie Leigh first came into our lives. I suppose it is no coincidence that she came right in the middle of football season.
WASHINGTON - Even if you believe that the Common Core standards are high-quality, internationally benchmarked and would provide a solid foundation for the American education system, you should be worried about how they are being implemented.
