Brunt of winter storm 'Nemo' expected in other parts of New EnglandBy Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer | February 07,2013Vermonters and visitors to the state will be treated to a wintry weekend but will be spared the full and mighty wrath of winter storm Nemo.
The first major storm of 2013 is expected to pummel parts of Massachusetts, and southern regions of New Hampshire and Maine with more than two feet of snow, but snowfall totals for most of Vermont are expected to fall far shy of that mark.
"We're going to be more of a spectator on this one," said Roger Hill, meteorologist for Worcestor, Vt.-based Weathering Heights. "It looks like a historic Nor'easter that will just graze Vermont."
Forecasters are calling for between 7 inches and 10 inches of snow to fall across the state, beginning Friday morning and continuing until Saturday afternoon. However, residents and travelers through the higher elevations of Windham County can expect as much has 20 inches before it's all over.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A pending deal between the state and federal governments will give a big boost to...

There's school clothes to buy, carpool schedules to arrange and backpacks to stuff. What? You have no idea what back-to-school supplies your little one needs this year? We do! Here's six things to tuck inside your elementary school child's bag.
Tuck an ID card in a zippered compartment of his backpack. Whether you make it yourself, or get one from your local fire station or police department, it should include your child's full name, photo and a contact phone number for a parent.
Writing Tools:
From crayons and markers, to pencils and pens, you child needs plenty of things to use when drawing and writing. Make his supplies stand out from the rest by ordering colorful pencils custom printed with his name.
Even at a young age, children need notebooks to practice their writing homework. Some teachers also require them to send home simple notes to parents on daily progress.
It might seem whimsical, but personalized stickers featuring your child's name makes folders and notebooks easily identifiable for children who share tables and desks at school. Plus stickers are cool!
Art Supplies:
Some students are required to bring their own creative tools such as watercolors, glue and child-safety scissors to use in the classroom. Check with your child's teacher before classes start to see what you little one needs.
Finally, the most important back-to-school items is a cool new backpack. After all, how is your little one going to haul everything to school without one? Plus, novelty backpacks and lunch bags are what gets kids excited about when heading out the door for classes once again.
Do you still have back-to-school shopping to do? Tell us in the comments below what you still need for your child.

Mountain white
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Mountain whites were usually poor whites living in the Southern United States in Pre-Civil War America. They inhabited the valleys of the Appalachian range from western Virginia to northern Georgia and Alabama. [1]
They were often isolated from the rest of Southern society and civilization. Because of this, they did not own slaves and were critical of the Southern economic system. As independent small farmers living on the harsh frontier, they were starkly different from the flatland whites. They were also able to retain many of their customs they brought over from Europe that had long since died out in Europe. There were reports of some isolated mountain whites speaking in Elizabethan accents, even as late as Civil War times.
They advocated for sectionalism, states' rights, and the abolition of slavery.
In the Civil War, the mountain whites were an important stronghold of Unionism within the Confederacy.
Mountain whites also developed their own styles of music which borrowed from Scottish and Irish tradition as many were of Scots-Irish descent. The music of mountain whites contributed heavily to the formation of bluegrass music.

If anyone was worried about water levels in the reservoirs or rain for hay season the past few weeks have certainly sorted out the shortage. If you are not lucky enough to have an amazing facility with an indoor arena riding in the past few weeks has not been easy.
Thankfully there is some super waterproof riding apparel available to help keep you dry in the saddle but the mud season is certainly in full swing in the North East and grooming is a full time job. Show season is around the corner and many of us are gearing up for a busy time out and about. Catskill Horse magazine will be there to share news of regional Upstate New York shows and our events page is full of a variety of opportunities to assist you in your choice of venue. If you see us out on the circuit please don't be shy and come say Hi!
Our May/June issue is full of exciting new horse news and some insightful articles on running a horse business and the ups and downs of being a horse trainer. For a look at running a successful equestrian center we spoke with Valerie McCloskey for our article Whisper Wind Equestrian Center is Nothing to Whisper About. She embraces riders and horses of all disciplines and has been in the horse business for thirty years. It is a truly lovely facility and her experience in the horse world certainly ensured a great design to her own farm. If you are a trainer offering off-site lessons check in with professional trainer Kim Preston of Preston Equestrian and hear the stories of some of her students both equine and human in our article Overcoming Obstacles with Preston Equestrian.
If you are on the hunt for a horse and have considered adopting a Mustang read Bethany Videto's article two in her series Born Free on how to go about finding the right match for your needs. Mustangs compete across multiple disciplines and are in great need of adoption. The process to adopt is easier than you might think.
Other horse resources include the equine rescue centers where horses are rehabilitated and sometimes offered for adoption. The process of rescuing a horse particularly from auction can bring with it the risk of spreading disease. One of the most misunderstood diseases is that of Strangles. The word spreads alarm to any horse owner and while there is a vaccine available its use is not widely undertaken. Experienced horse owners and medical professional Karen Nowak guides us through the procedures and protocols needed to care for a horse with this disease and also provides guidelines for handling any contagious disease in horse barns. Good information for us all to know, just in case.
If you are introducing a new member to your herd then read our A Bit of Advice column where we answer Cheryl's question about the best way to ensure a good outcome.
While on the topic of continued education on horse care check out The Insider's Look at How to Make an Award Winning DVD with Advanced Equine Studies. The 2015 Equus Film Festival in New York City awarded Mouse Hole Farm Production's The Horse's Respiratory 3 DVD set Best Educational Program. Find out what more titles are in the works and how Andrea and Willis Steele have developed their own DVD production company and what inspired them to develop their business.
If you are not buying a horse but are selling one you may relate to our Bit Between the Teeth column and Tina Hammond's frustration with the horse buying public. It does beg the question, do people actually read horse advertisements thoroughly or are they just bereft of a clue as to how to find the right match for their real needs.
Our new spotlight on Equine Artists has proved very popular and in this edition we focus on Judy Widener, a dressage rider/trainer with a strong artistic talent. Judy lives in Palm beach, Florida and shares with us how her passion for art developed and showcases her beautiful works.
I'd also like to add my thanks to all the wonderful Catskill Horse writers and advertisers for their support in keeping us on track for an even larger readership. The Merry Band at the Catskill Horse continues in our quest to bring a great community resource to Upstate New York and the neighboring states and we are adding e-blast newsletters to help spread the word later this month with lots more plans in the works.
Enjoy the Spring riding weather everyone.

How to Protect Your Horse from West Nile Virus Infection
By Kristen Browning-Blas
Colorado State University College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences
Late summer is peak transmission season for West Nile Virus, and confirmed cases are rising among horses in many regions.
Veterinarians and public health experts urge owners to protect their horses by reducing mosquito populations and possible breeding areas. Equine veterinarians at Colorado State University's James L. Voss Veterinary Teaching Hospital say two important methods will help protect horses against West Nile Virus infection: reduce exposure to mosquitoes and vaccinate against the virus.
Reduce exposure to mosquitoes
• When possible, stall horses during peak mosquito activity, at dawn and dusk.
• Eliminate areas of standing or stagnant water on property, dispose of discarded tires, and change birdbath water and water in tanks for horses at least weekly.
• Use fans on horses while stabled.
• Use insect repellants designed for horses. A fly sheet and fly mask will minimize your horse's exposure to mosquitoes.
• Use incandescent bulbs around the perimeter of the stable.
• Remove any dead birds found on the property, as birds are part of the virus cycle. To pick up a bird, use rubber gloves or a plastic bag turned inside out. For information on testing of birds for West Nile Virus, contact your public health office.
Vaccinations for West Nile Virus
There are currently four licensed vaccine formulations available for use in horses based on efficacy and safety studies for protection against West Nile Virus. "West Nile is one of our core vaccines, so most people vaccinate here," said Dr. Luke Bass, a veterinarian with CSU's Equine Field Service. The American Association of Equine Practitioners recognizes the West Nile Virus vaccine as a core vaccination for all horses regardless of geographic location.
Though the West Nile Virus vaccine is commonly used in horses, vaccination is just one part of the preventive strategy; methods to reduce mosquito exposure should be employed at the same time. Vaccination against other causes of equine encephalitis (eastern equine encephalitis, western equine encephalitis, and Venezuelan equine encephalitis) does not protect your horse against West Nile Virus.
The initial West Nile vaccination or booster vaccine must be given prior to exposure to the virus and your horse should be vaccinated well in advance of mosquito season. Consult with your veterinarian to determine the best vaccination protocol for your horse depending on previous vaccination history and virus and mosquito activity.
Vaccinations for the pregnant mare.
It is important to consult your veterinarian to determine the best method of protection against West Nile Virus for broodmares. Several of the West Nile vaccines have been given to pregnant mares without observed adverse outcomes. As a general recommendation, reproductive specialists suggest avoiding vaccines of any kind in the first 40 days of pregnancy.
Diagnosis and treatment of West Nile Virus
Clinical signs of West Nile infection include fever, incoordination, muscle twitching, head pressing, hyper-excitability, anorexia, lethargy, recumbency (lying down), and death.
Diagnosis of West Nile Virus is made by noting the clinical signs and by positive diagnostic tests on blood or cerebrospinal fluid.
Treatment is primarily supportive, with anti-inflammatory drugs and fluids. Some horses may require hospitalization and assistance with a sling in order to remain standing. Products that provide antibodies to West Nile Virus are available, and the use of these products in equine cases should be discussed with your veterinarian.
Frequently asked questions:
Should I vaccinate my horse for West Nile Virus?
Yes, work with your veterinarian to determine the optimal plan for your horse.
Can I vaccinate my mare if she is in foal?
Yes, work with your veterinarian to determine the optimal plan for your mare.
How old should a foal be to receive the vaccine?
Recent research has shown that foals 3 months of age can be safely vaccinated against West Nile, and will subsequently build an immune response. If your foals are in a high-mosquito area, you may want to vaccinate them as early as 3 months for this disease.
Can a horse infected with West Nile Virus infect horses in neighboring stalls or infect me?
No, the virus is spread through the bite of an infected mosquito, not by contact with an ill horse.

Meeting Increased Summer Hydration Needs
Dr. Eleanor Kellon, Staff Veterinary Specialist for Uckele Health & Nutrition
Everyone looks forward to the warm weather as the ideal time to ride or work their horse. Most understand the dangers of working the horse under conditions of high heat and humidity. However, the horse can be compromised easily under less than sweltering conditions if you do not know how to correctly protect them.
Horses control their body temperature primarily by sweating. In warmer weather, it becomes crucial to support and maintain proper hydration, whether doing endurance training, events, trail rides, or standing in a field in hot weather.
Hydration isn't just about water intake or loss
Sweating also causes significant losses of salt. Losing both can lead to devastating consequences. Horses can lose water volume up to 4 gallons per hour, and as much as 4 ounces of salt per hour. The Sodium in salt, which is Sodium Chloride, is absolutely essential for the horse's body to retain normal, healthy levels of water. Regardless of how much water the horse drinks, it will not be able to retain a normal amount of water in the body without adequate Sodium, or salt. Read the full article...
For Your Horse's Sake: Salt Needs More Attention During Hot Months
Make salt a higher priority than electrolytes
By Juliet M. Getty, Ph.D.
Your horse sweats more during the summer, making electrolyte supplementation worth considering. But electrolytes alone will not protect against dehydration. Your horse needs to have enough sodium (salt). One ounce per day (two tablespoons) is adequate for maintenance during cool months, but hot, humid weather calls for at least two ounces per day, and more if your horse is in work of any kind.
One way to accomplish this: provide a plain, white salt block, Redmond salt rock, or Himalayan salt rock in close proximity. But make sure your horse licks it; many horses do not, due to tiny scratches that form on the tongue. Even better is to offer coarsely granulated salt free choice by pouring some in a small bucket. You can also add salt to each meal. Iodized table salt and Redmond and Himalayan rocks offer a small amount of iodine. Take this into consideration if your horse already receives iodine from another source. Total iodine intake should not exceed 5 mg per day.
Be aware that electrolyte supplements should be given only to a horse that is already in good sodium balance. They are designed to replace what is lost from perspiration and should contain at least 13 grams of chloride, 6 grams of sodium, and 5 grams of potassium per dose. If your horse works more than two hours at a time, provide a dose of electrolytes after exercise by adding it to a gallon of water, top-dressing a feed, or offered via syringe. And always, be sure to keep fresh, clean water nearby.

Avoiding a Lameness Exam by Jackie Bellamy-Zions
With a well-planned training program
The sun is shining, birds are singing, flowers are blooming and the temptation is to launch full-on into your horse-training endeavours.
You may have kept fit throughout the winter on the ski slopes or at the gym but what about your horse? Unless you had access to an indoor arena or migrated south for a few months with your four legged friends, chances are your horse's fitness level is not quite sufficient for competition or strenuous outings yet.
While there is no fool-proof way to avoid all circumstances that could necessitate a lameness exam, there are precautions every horse owner can take to reduce the risk of injury. As with every great fitness program, the key to success is a logical progression and controlling the factors you can control such as footing, stable management and horse health care.

200 Horses Working in City Garbage Dump to be Helped
The World's Largest International Equine Welfare Charity Begins Work in Mexico
Brooke USA, the American fundraising arm of the Brooke, has announced a pilot project in Mexico to help horses working in a garbage dump and recycling centre in San Martin, Puebla State. The horses are some of the most vulnerable of the 12.8 million working equine animals in Mexico.
Horses, donkeys and mules in Mexico are used for agriculture, construction, mining, tourism and transportation, and they are supporting the lives of people by helping them to earn a living. But despite this, there is little support for people to effectively care for their animals. In this important pilot project, which could ultimately affect thousands of working equines across Mexico, the Brooke is partnering with a local organization, Fundación Dejando Huella. They will begin by helping around 200 horses working at the main garbage dump and recycling site in the city of San Martin Texmelucan de Labastida.
The Brooke team is still studying the area to find out what the main welfare problems are, but from early observations the animals are suffering from bit and harness lesions, poor hoof condition and bad body condition. The project will primarily focus on improving and increasing the knowledge, attitudes and practices of the horse owners and the animal health providers who work at the site, so they can create a long-lasting environment of good welfare.
Petra Ingram, Chief Executive of the Brooke, said: "We're so pleased to be expanding into Mexico during 2016. We did a lot of research to learn where our work would benefit the most working equines, and this could be the start of a bigger project. There are millions more horses, donkeys and mules in Mexico so I'm excited to see where this takes us."
The Brooke is currently serving working equines in 11 countries across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Central America. Last year alone, the Brooke reached 1.8 million working equines, benefitting 10 million of the world's poorest people who depend on those animals for their livelihoods. Brooke USA, a 501(c)(3), headquartered at the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, exists to support the Brooke's overseas projects.

Obese Horses Lose Weight on Free-Choice Hay
Research Reflection by Dr. Juliet M. Getty
Researchers from the University of Melbourne, Australia, and the WALTHAM Centre for Pet Nutrition in the United Kingdom examined[i] how much weight obese ponies and horses lost when fed all the hay they wanted (ad-libitum). They also looked at weight loss when forage was restricted.
Twelve obese animals were used in this study: 4 Standardbreds, 4 mixed-breed ponies, and 4 Andalusian-cross horses. For the first 20 weeks, they were all fed hay, ad-libitum. During the next 12 weeks, their hay intake was restricted to 1.25% of body weight. Read the full article...
Second Careers for Racehorses: The Transition from Racetrack to Ribbons
By Barbara Sheridan
Many ex-racehorses are finding second careers once their racing days are over, thanks to the ever increasing awareness of what these multi-talented athletes can also do off the track. As a result of this growing movement to retrain the racehorse, Thoroughbreds, Standardbreds and Quarter Horses have successfully been transitioning from the track to a new lifestyle as sport horses, show horses or all-around pleasure mounts.
Canadian Olympian Jessica Phoenix is a huge proponent of the "ex-racehorse" breed and has successfully worked with them for years. Two of her well-recognized horses in eventing -Exploring and Exponential - were off-the-track Thoroughbreds (OTTB) that successfully took Phoenix to top international levels of competition in eventing.
"Exploring went to the Pam Am Games in 2007, and Exponential went to the Olympics and the Word Equestrian Games in 2010 and 2012," says the Cannington, Ontario resident. "Exponential is such a tough horse. He's 17 now and is still competing at the four-star level." Read the full article...
Reduce Risk of Infection When Traveling Your Horse
For many horses, this is the season for traveling to fall horse shows and events. Considering periodic outbreaks of equine herpes virus (EHV-1) and other infectious diseases, it is critical that your horse be in top physical health before embarking to an unfamiliar area. The foundation of that health is a strong immune system. Added antioxidants and supportive nutrients can have a positive impact on your horse's ability to resist an infection.
Boost supplementation of the following nutrients per day for at least two weeks before you leave and throughout the travels or event; wean your horse off of them for two weeks following your return:
· Vitamins E and C: 5 IUs of vitamin E and 5 mg of vitamin C per pound (0.45 kg) of body weight
· Selenium: 3 to 5 mg of selenium
· Vitamin A: 30 to 60 IUs per pound (.45 kg) of body weight
· Omega 3 fatty acids: 1/2 cup chia seeds or ground flaxseeds per 400 lbs (180 kg) of body weight
· Protein: 14-16% of the diet, and of high quality protein by feeding a variety of protein sources
· Magnesium: 5,000 mg of magnesium per 500 lbs (227 kg) of body weight
· B vitamins: Provide a potent B complex preparation.
Be sure to check how much of these nutrients your horse may already be getting from commercial feeds and supplements, and calculate to add only enough to boost quantities as noted above.
Remember that stress suppresses immune function. An empty stomach is incredibly stressful -- both mentally uncomfortable and physically painful. Protect your horse by allowing him to graze on hay (and pasture, if available) at all times, throughout the day and night. And never let him perform without some forage in his digestive tract.
Attention to increased nutritional needs will go a long way toward keeping your horse healthy during the time away from his familiar surroundings and routine.
Our thanks to Dr. Juliet M. Getty, Ph.D. who is an internationally respected, independent equine nutritionist who believes that optimizing horse health comes from understanding how the horse's physiology and instincts determine the correct feeding and nutrition practices. She is available for private consultations and speaking engagements.
Read Before You Build: Most Common Mistakes When Building An Outdoor Equestrian Arena
There are many common mistakes that can be easily avoided when building an equestrian arena.
1. Using the wrong quantity or quality of stone
You should always be aware of the type of materials required for you build and what you are being supplied with.
• For the base layer (stone drainage layer), it is VITAL that clean, hard, angular stone is used.
• Clean: means the stone has been washed so stone dust/fine soil is not washed straight in to your drains, causing reduced flow of surplus water. We recommend granite or a hard limestone (not soft limestone).
• The stone layer should be 5" (150mm) compacted depth when laid, ideally the stone layer should extend 50cm beyond the fence/kick boards so the perimeter drain is laid outside the school.
• Be cautious if your contractor does not specify the grade/quantity or depth of the materials being laid. Clearly if less stone is used, it will be cheaper and some contractors will reduce the specification and price in order to win the work.
• Hard – means the stones are frost resistant, i.e. will not break down after successive winters, or fracture due to the weight of maintenance machinery.
• The quarry can provide 'technical data sheets' if in any doubt. A good test – take two stones and bang them together, they should not dust, crack or break – if they do, they are not frost resistant.
• Angular stones must inter-link together, so they need to be of similar size, typically 1 3/4 to 2 3/4. (If the stone is rounded it will never "knit" together, so the surface will never be correctly compacted if the base layer moves).
2. Inadequate Drainage:
• There should be at least one drain across the school and one on the perimeter, on all sides
• If the ground is heavy clay, additional cross drains should be installed and the diameter of the exterior drains increased
• It is important that the drain runs have a consistent fall
• If the drainage runs (trenches) are up and down (like a dogs hind leg), do not lay the pipe with pea shingle (fine small pebbles, that are "hard")
• The tops of all the trenches should be covered with a fine grade (eg 4 oz) non woven geotextile membrane which will allow the water to pass in to the drains, but prevent silt/sediment.
• Avoid purchasing unwashed sand for the equestrian surface.
3. Weak Fencing Posts
• Fencing posts should always be concreted in, as they need to support the retaining boards.
• This combination should be strong enough to withstand the surface being packed against them, and able to endure being struck by any maintenance machinery.
4. Building at the wrong time of year/in the wrong conditions
• During a dry period preferably in the summer.
• Clay in particular needs to be carefully managed, especially during earthworks, such as "cut and fill", so "clay heave" does not occur. (This is most likely to occur when wet and under pressure, which causes it "bubble up", this can move the stone layer and membranes, leading to contamination of the surface and poor drainage. Should this occur, remedial works will be required).
5. Incorrect cut and fill
Cut and Fill is the process of cutting in to a bank, and re-laying the material lower down the bank to create a "level formation" for your outdoor equine arena. The banks/slopes must be created correctly to support the new formation.
Top tips from Martin Collins:
• The recommended depth of stone is 5" (150mm), especially for difficult ground, such as heavy clay.
• It is important to include drainage trenches on the outside of the arena. These external drains will stop the "run off" from adjacent paddocks – so this is especially important if an arena has been cut into the slope. They are also important because the outside track typically has the heaviest "foot fall.

The Real Cost of Horse Ownership
Story by:
Equine Guelph
It is often said that if you ask a question to ten horse owners, you will get ten different answers. However, one thing we can all agree upon is that horses are expensive! Affording the initial purchase cost is the least of expenses. Calculating the maintenance over the horses' lifetime is a more realistic look at a long-term budgeting plan. How much does horse ownership really cost? The short answer is that it depends. There are many variables that come into play when calculating the cost of horse ownership:
Buying a Horse
"How much does a horse cost?" is a frequently asked question, and like many things in the horse world, the answer is highly variable. Horses can cost anywhere from free to millions of dollars! Realistically, one can expect to spend a few thousand dollars to find an appropriate mount, though this price will depend on the market, the type of horse, intended use and your location.

What's the Real Cost of Humanely Euthanizing and Disposing of a Horse?
Something all horse owner's must face is their responsibility to their horses when the time comes for the last kindness you can do for a horse in pain, humanely ending its life. As one of our staff writer's Bethany Videto said the other day when a discussion with a friend came up about selling her horse , " You don't sell your grandparents just because they get old, why would you sell your horse. He is your responsibility."
The Homes for Horses Coalition set out to answer questions about the cost of humanely euthanizing and disposing of horses by surveying horse rescues, veterinarians, veterinary schools and disposal services across the country. The results of the 2014 survey confirm that doing the right thing at the end of a horse's life is not very expensive.
Out of 94 organizations surveyed across the U.S.A., 87% reported the cost of euthanasia to be less than $300. Out of 104 organizations offering disposal services, 75% reported the cost of disposal to be less than $300. While cremation can be expensive, the cost of having the horse's carcass transferred to a landfill can be as low as $50. These costs are a virtual drop in the bucket when it comes to the overall expense of keeping a horse, and are simply a part of responsible horse ownership. Read the full article.....

Vaccine Risks?
Here is some advice on what to look out for as your horse is administered vaccines this season. There have been reports of some serious adverse reactions this year, so be vigilant and ask your vet for their advice and specifically what adverse vaccine reports they have received through their channels.
It's important to be able to distinguish between minor side effects and those reactions that warrant a call to your veterinarian.
Normal Responses
After intramuscular vaccination, it's fairly common for horses to experience mild, temporary side effects for a few hours such as:
• Local muscle soreness or swelling
• Fatigue
• Fever
• Loss of appetite
• Lack of energy or alertness
However, if the signs listed above last for more than 24 hours, you should consult your veterinarian as soon as possible to inform them of what is going on with the horse. This will allow your veterinarian to provide you with treatment advice and care instructions.
Causes for Possible Concern
Sometimes more serious side effects, and in some cases, life-threatening events, can occur, including:
• Hives
• Difficulty breathing
• Collapse
• Colic
• Swelling at the injection site several days post vaccination.
These more serious side effects are rare, but do require immediate consultation, and, in some cases, medical intervention.
Working with your veterinarian is the best way to ensure your horse is being evaluated based upon its particular needs. Many veterinarians follow the American Association of Equine Practitioners' recommended guidelines for core vaccinations. Veterinarians can also be helpful in determining the need for other risk-based vaccinations based on an assessment of your geographic threats and travel plans. They are also familiar with the proper handling and administering of vaccines, which is important because those handled improperly can actually become ineffective or may increase the risk of side effects.
CH note: This advice comes from a leading vaccine manufacturer and is provided in excerpts.

Career Options
Graduates of marine biology and oceanography degree programs can go into a number of different careers in different fields. They can use their knowledge of the ocean and its life to pursue a wide variety of jobs.
Public or Private Researcher
Universities, government agencies and conservation groups employ marine scientists to study and promote understanding of marine life or the chemical, physical and geological characteristics of marine environments. Job descriptions vary by industry.
For example, oceanographers specializing in aquaculture may study the effects that farming fish, shellfish and seaweed has on the surrounding environment, while marine biologists develop more efficient and environmentally sustainable farming methods. Governments employ oceanographers to study the effect of pollutants on coastal waterways and marine biologists to study the toxicology of the wildlife within those zones.
Private firms employ marine scientists to develop new products or processing methods. For example, a marine biologist at a pharmaceutical company may develop new drugs based on the disease-resistant compounds found in marine species. Oil and gas drilling companies retain oceanographers to help locate new reserves or develop more efficient drilling methods.
Completion of a bachelor's degree program in biology or oceanography can be sufficient for employment as a laboratory technician or other entry-level positions; however, most research scientists pursue an advanced degree. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of most occupations, coursework in chemistry, physics and mathematics can prove beneficial. Additional coursework in business management and marketing can provide a basis for the administrative duties involved with some businesses.
The education and training for a specialty field is typically offered within a master's degree program in marine biology or oceanography. Faculty and chief researcher and development positions require the completion of a doctoral degree program.
Job Outlook and Salary Info
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicted that from 2012-2022, marine biologists, who are included within the occupation category of zoologist, could expect employment growth of 5%. New jobs will arise in part from the need to monitor the effects of climate change on ocean life and sea levels. In May 2013, the BLS further reported that zoologists and wildlife biologists earned an average yearly salary of $62,610.
Oceanographers, also called geoscientists by the BLS, are expected to experience 16% growth in jobs during the 2012-2022 decade. As in marine biology, this increase is partly due to the need for environmental monitoring and protection. Geoscientists earned an average salary of $108,420 as of May 2013.
Aquarium Curator, Aquarist or Exhibit Coordinator
Exhibit coordinators oversee the work of researchers, aquarists and designers to create products for zoos and aquariums. Similarly, curators manage an institution's collection of marine life, and may act as a liaison between their organization and academic researchers and conservation groups.
Aquarists go into the field to collect specimens for aquariums and zoos, and also care for the specimens and maintain their exhibits. Duties include the day-to-day feeding of animals, implementation of disease treatments and general cleaning of tanks.
Most employers require the completion of a biological sciences or related bachelor's degree program. Additionally, aquarists and those directly overseeing aquarists are required to have scuba certification.
Job Outlook and Salary Info
During the 2012-2022 decade, the BLS projects 13% job growth for curators, including aquarium curators, due to the continuing public interest in science and nature. The profession is small, however, so competition for any new jobs is expected to be fierce. The BLS reported in May 2013 that curators in general earned an average salary of $55,620. Major employers were museums and similar institutions, as well as colleges and universities.
Education Specialist
Aquariums hire education specialists to teach visitors about the institution's wildlife and research programs. They may lead trips into the field, tour visitors through their institution and visit schools. They may also accompany aquarists into the field to assist with specimen collection.
Employers may prefer students who have completed a bachelor's degree program in biological science. An education degree program supplemented with science courses may suffice.
Science Writer
Science writers cover research advances and biotechnology developments. Their primary goal is to help the public understand complex and challenging scientific issues. They generally work as journalists or for scientific institutions, such as research foundations and aquariums, where they compose press releases and develop materials for exhibits.
Completion of a bachelor's degree program is generally required. The Council for the Advancement of Science Writing recommends that students pursue a science bachelor's degree program supplemented with journalism coursework or a journalism program supplemented with science classes (www.casw.org).
Job Outlook and Salary Info
As of May 2013, science writers, who are considered journalists by the BLS, worked mainly in the print journalism industry, such as for newspapers, periodicals and book publishers. They made an average of $44,360 per year.
Congressional Aide
Marine scientists can contribute to the public dialogue and legislation of marine issues by working as a policy expert. Members of Congress retain legislative aides to brief them on specific issues and communicate with constituent groups, such as marine biology conservation groups or pharmaceutical companies.
There are no strict requirements to become a congressional staffer; however, general expertise on several topics is expected. Marine scientists can gain policy experience by participating in a fellowship, such as the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Dean John A. Knauss Marine Policy Fellowship or the American Association for the Advancement of Science's (AAAS) Energy, Environment and Agriculture Fellowship. Marine scientists must be pursuing a graduate degree to be eligible for the NOAA Fellowship, while the AAAS requires individuals who have earned a Ph.D.

Tim Bradley: Pacquiao is Declining, I'll Beat Him Easier!
By Edward Chaykovsky
WBO welterweight champion Timothy Bradley is very much in favor of a staging an immediate rematch against Manny Pacquiao. Bradley won a controversial twelve round split decision over the Filipino superstar on June 9th in Las Vegas. He feels Pacquiao is declining and no longer the same pound-for-pound boxer who battered opponents like Oscar De La Hoya, Ricky Hatton and Miguel Cotto. Bradley told hometown paper, The Desert Sun, that he'll beat Pacquiao even "easier" in the rematch. Pacquiao is scheduled to return on November 10th and Bradley is one of the possible options for the date.
"He's declining, honestly he is declining. He had me hurt in the fourth round, he didn't try to come out and finish me, the old Manny would've. The old Manny would've, I just think there's a lot of wear and tear on him, his mind is in 50,000 different places. He's got his newfound religion and stuff like that, and I just feel like maybe he's worn out, honestly. I have a busy schedule but his schedule is like all day busy, like 24/7, he never stops moving.

EyeToy: Play
You are the controller.
Eye Toy is many things to many people. As one of the most unusual peripherals ever released, it's certain to evoke a wide variety of reactions. With that in mind, we made sure each editor had a chance to get some time in the eye of Eye Toy. Here are our impressions.
There's something strangely addictive about batting a soccer ball around in Keep Ups and trying to knock monkeys out of windows by punting the ball at them. Like so much about the Eye Toy, it's the simplicity of it that works; that's what will undoubtedly make this thing the ultimate party toy. Even though it made me feel a bit silly, cuz I'm not much of a dancer, I did sort of enjoy the Simon-style gameplay of Boogie Down. Eye Toy will definitely change the way some people look at videogames. You may find it a bit simple, but there are lots of people who will learn to appreciate games because of it.
-John Davison
So, I'm waving my arms around, flailing about like a complete ass, mildly self-conscious yet mostly unconcerned, having a grand time...washing windows? Yep. Despite being a domestic god, I've never loved cleaning windowsuntil now. Wishi Washi's surreal blend of banjo music and dirt removal is a totally silly blast. Even better? Plate Spinner, if only because it tosses some plucky primates into the mix. Still, Eye Toy is merely a gimmicky gadget right now, in desperate need of some serious applications. I love it, but partly because I can't wait to see what comes next.
-Gary Steinman
At least by name association, I think the game that most excited me about Eye Toy was Boxing ChumpI was all psyched for a first-person Punch-Out!!. Needless to say, the side-view perspective disappoints me, but I do enjoy flailing away with a flurry of furious punches at the hapless generic onscreen robot. Blocking just flat-out doesn't work, but you feel good about yourself when you manage to perfectly time a backward movement that makes ol' metalhead miss. Ghost Catcher doesn't have quite the same fun factor as you try to "pop" ghosts by basically speedtyping into midair. You'll enjoy it a time or two, then quickly go back to Boxing Chump.
-Chris Baker
I expected Eye Toy to be one of those neat ideas that fails miserably in practice, but it's much cooler than I expected. Sure, there are some duds: Slap Stream could use a good slapping, for example. But setting off fireworks in Rocket Rumble or frantically keeping spaceships airborne in UFO Juggler offers a glimpse of what the future of gaming might look like. If I had to rate this solely on the strength of these games, it would probably get a 2.5. But there's enough potential here to earn the Eye Toy 5 stars, easy.
-Joe Rybicki
Even though I feel like a complete jackass when using the Eye Toy, I can definitely see its potential, at least for rhythm games like Beat Freak. Even though it's incredibly simplistic, Beat Freak has Samba De Amigolike feel and gameplay mechanics. Conversely, a game like Mirror Time just doesn't do it for me. Its novelty feature is that it flips your image on the screen so you have to think twice about which hand or appendage to use, but it's still a boring balloon-popping game. Kids will probably love it, but adults probably won't.
-Giancarlo Varanini
While Kung Foo is one of the signature Eye Toy games, it's also the simplest: Just hit ninjas. At first it's pretty goofy and fun, but its simplicity starts wearing thin. Slap Stream, while improving on the "hit things" formula by adding bunnies, resembles a poor man's Virtua Cop, since instead of shooting baddies and not shooting civvies, you're slapping non-bunnies and not slapping bunnies. The "smack things" oeuvre is, as expected, not a particularly deep one, but while the games themselves aren't great, they still provide plentiful party entertainment. The Eye Toy has potential to go beyond these weak minigames, and overall, I'd give it 4 stars.
-Thierry Nguyen
The general consensus seems to be a cautious optimism about what Eye Toy has in store for the future. If game designers manage to deliver on the potential, it could be the greatest invention everbut that's a big if. While the games on the Play disc are little more than good party diversions, we can't really penalize a peripheral for the demos it ships with. And there's no denying that, as a peripheral, the Eye Toy certainly deserves to be noticed.

It's a word put together from Chillin' and Relaxing. It actually means the same. If somebody should cool down you could say he or she has to relax or has to chill out. If you decide not to choose between these to, or you haven't made a decision while you already have to say the word, you say 'Chillax'.
It could also mean having a good time with your friends.

Conservation Status
Pygmy hippos are classified as Endangered by the IUCN and are on Appendix II of CITES. Threats to H. liberiensis populations include deforestation, hunting, agricultural land development, and civil conflicts. Pygmy hippos are legally protected in most of the regions where they are found. However, there are little or no resources available to enforce their protection and numbers in the wild continue to decrease. The subspecies H. l. heslopi is considered extinct in the wild, although its existence is still questioned because reports of individuals in Nigeria are questionable.

LIVELY BROADWAY SHOW TUNE fills the air in a rehearsal studio on Manhattan's West Side. Practicing her moves for a performance by the Infinity Dance Theater, the company she founded in 1995, Kitty Lunn sways to the music, her arms waving gently like windblown grasses. Her partner Christopher Nelson glides to her side, sweeping her into his arms in a move so seamless, an observer almost forgets that Lunn, a paraplegic, has been sitting in a wheelchair. That's precisely the effect she desires. "I want," she says, "to command the same respect sitting down as I did standing up."
It has been nine years since the day Lunn, a Broadway-bound actress, slipped on an icy stairway in New York City, crushing her spine. In a profession in which crow's-feet are sources of trauma, Lunn, 45, has made a remarkable comeback. In recent years she has appeared on soaps including CBS's As the World Turns, as well as in print and TV ads. In August her dance troupe will perform in Atlanta during the arts festival held in concert with the Summer Olympics. Says Infinity dancer Robert Koval: "She takes life and does everything with it. Kitty is an inspiration."
Little in Lunn's early life prepared her for such a test of character. From age 10, she studied dance while growing up in New Orleans, the youngest of three children of Hugh Morrison, an insurance agency owner, and his wife, Beatrice, a homemaker. Lunn left her hometown high school as a sophomore and entered the Washington School of Ballet in 1968, where she began acting. Several years later she moved to New York City, building a career on soaps and in TV commercials. Then, on Jan. 28, 1987, she was preparing for her first Broadway role, in Sherlock's Last Case, a comedy starring Frank Langella, when she fell on the steps of an office building. "It was like glass shards in my spinal cord," says Lunn.
Hospitalized for most of the next 2½ years, Lunn endured five operations and was racked by such excruciating pain, she says, that she often considered suicide. What helped her through was the love of Andrew Macmillan, an actor, now 65, whom Lunn had met shortly before her accident. He visited her every day. After four months he proposed and she accepted. The wisdom of her choice was confirmed when they applied for a marriage license and, she recalls, a city clerk said, "Isn't that nice? He's marrying you anyway." Snapped Macmillan: "I'm damned lucky she'll have me."
Insensitivity such as that clerk's, Lunn says, left her feeling that her identity "was disappearing"—that others saw only her wheelchair. As a result, she plunged back into auditions and won election in 1990 to the board of Actors' Equity, where she is a forceful advocate for disabled performers. "Kitty has raised the consciousness of the entire entertainment industry," Equity executive Alan Eisenberg told USA Today.
These days, as she rehearses 15 hours a week in her customized, 17-pound chair for the Infinity troupe's Olympics performance, Lunn hopes to tweak consciences around the world. One piece she will perform is titled "Inside My Body There Is a Dancer"—and it's the inner artist she wants audiences to see. "My soul," Lunn explains, "wasn't injured in that fall."

"If you recall in late 2010, Stone announced it would release a spin off of their Stone Old Guardian and Stone Imperial Russian Stout in the name of "Odd Beers for Odd Years." They made Old Guardian BELGO Barleywine and Belgo Anise Russian Imperial Stout for 2011. With 2013 on the way, we did some digging to find out what was in store for the Odd Beers for Odd Years. We've confirmed Old Guardian will be brewed with Oak Smoked Wheat malt from Weyerman. It will be a smokey wheat wine of sorts. We have not confirmed the twist on IRS, but have been told coffee has been identified as one of the potential ingredients" I know the 2011 versions received less than favorable reviews from all of us but personally I am excited about the next round of variations. Coffee in stone IRS!? Hell yeah http://thefullpint.com/beer-news/stone-old-guardian-13-odd-beer-will-be/

Champions League glory is the pinnacle of the European season. Every club has aspirations to achieve it, but few can realistically be viewed as true contenders.
Each Champions League competition introduces us to a dark horse team that rides their luck further than anyone thought. Paris Saint-Germain is one of those teams that is not part of the "favorites" status, but has the pieces to make a run at the ultimate prize.
While PSG has been wielding their spending power on putting together a squad that can chase the European dream, few feel they are ready to survive the rigors of the competition.
Despite the lack of faith by others, the following slides take a look at what PSG has that makes them a potential dark horse during this European campaign.
