A:According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, although approximately 49% of adults met Physical Activity Guidelines (15) for aerobic physical activity, more than half were not engaging in sufficient physical activity and the prevalence declined with increasing age (4) (Figure). In addition, obesity continues to be a concern; more than one third of adults in the United States are obese (2), and approximately 17% of kids (2 to 19 years of age) are obese (3). In turn, physical inactivity and being overweight are risk factors for type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and heart disease (1).
With these realities in mind, finding ways to encourage more physical activity is of paramount importance. One of many areas that continues to receive attention as a possible way to promote physical activity is dog ownership, an area of potential promise considering the number of dog owners in the United States (Box 1). In 2013, the American Heart Association (AHA) released a scientific statement "Pet Ownership and Cardiovascular Risk," which critically assessed the influence of pet ownership on the presence and reduction of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular disease risk (12). The AHA recommendations include the following: 1) pet ownership, particularly dog ownership, may be reasonable for reduction of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk; and 2) pet adoption, rescue, or purchase should not be done for the primary purpose of reducing CVD risk (12).
In this scientific statement, the AHA points out the critical need to find novel strategies and interventions to reduce the risk of CVD and the related morbidity and mortality (12). The AHA scientific statement reviews the impact of pet ownership on a number of health-related issues, including the following (12):
* Some studies have found an association between pet ownership and lower blood pressure
* Few studies are available related to pet ownership and lipid levels
* Dog walking (rather than just pet or dog ownership) seems to be associated with a lower incidence of obesity
* Most, but not all, studies have found a beneficial relationship between pet ownership and reaction to stress (e.g., lower heart rate and blood pressure responses)
* Studies with beneficial effects have included dogs or cats, but other pets also have been found to provide benefits, including goat, fish, chimpanzee, and snake ownership
* Pet ownership was not associated with reduced overall mortality in individuals without established CVD but may provide benefits for patients with established CVD
* Dogs seem to be the pet most likely to provide a positive influence on human physical activity
* Dog owners engage in more physical activity and walking and are more likely to meet recommended amounts of physical activity than are nonowners
* Physical activity levels do not seem to be associated with cat or other pet ownership
* Although data related to dogs are the strongest, this could be because dogs are more commonly owned and are most likely to increase the owner's physical activity
In the previous list of findings, note the use of the words "associated" or "relationship." Because most studies did not use a random assignment (most made comparisons between those who were already dog owners and nonowners), the impact of dog ownership on CVD risk reduction is not necessarily cause-and-effect, although an association has been shown. For example, healthier, more active individuals may be more likely to own and walk a dog. The AHA points out that although there could be other factors that are different between owners and nonowners that impact the outcomes, "there are plausible psychological, sociological, and physiological mechanisms for causation for many of the associations, particularly dog ownership and increased physical activity" (12).
Simply owning a dog will not automatically increase an individual's activity, and not all dog owners walk their dogs (Box 2). When considering reasons that dog owners do not walk their dog, researchers in one study found the most common reason given was that the dog "self-exercised" or was an outside dog; other reasons given included that someone else was responsible for walking the dog, there was limited time or interest, the dog was too strong or did not behave, the dog was too old or unable to walk, or the dog owner was too old or unable to walk (13). When considering reasons owners walk their dog, researchers found a dog provided a source of motivation to be active and provided companionship (i.e., someone to walk with) and that owners felt a responsibility to exercise their dog and felt guilty if they did not regularly walk their dog (5). Obligation and self-efficacy are two potentially modifiable factors that have been identified as potential targets to promote dog walking (9). One way to encourage walking is to emphasize the benefits of walking for the dog's health (both physical and mental well-being) (9). Improving self-efficacy with dog-handling skills specific to dog walking is another potential way to encourage dog walking (9). These factors could help promote initiation of dog walking and then, once begun, maintenance may be encouraged because of increased enjoyment by the dog and owner (9).
Many of the factors that influence people to walk their dog are similar to the factors reported for walking in general, although dogs may provide a couple of unique benefits: 1) motivation and encouragement to start walking and 2) social support and companionship to maintain the exercise program (5). Havinga plan of regular aerobic activity (e.g., dog walking), along with other prevention measures, is needed (12). The AHA suggests, "The primary mechanism through which acquisition of a dog leads to an increase in physical activity is believed to be behavioral intention (via the dog's positive effect on the owner's cognitive beliefs about walking), as well as motivation and social support for walking" (12).
As an example, consider the PPET Study (People and Pets Exercising Together) in which overweight or obese people along with an obese pet completed a 12-month weight loss study; a control group of overweight or obese people without a pet also received dietary and physical activity counseling (11). Both groups of people lost weight during the course of the year and the overweight pets also lost weight, showing a benefit to dog health along with that of the human owner. Both groups (those without dogs and those with dogs) reported similar levels of support from family, friends, and coworkers, including both helpful (e.g., cheerleader, accountability) and unhelpful (e.g., saboteur, inconsistent) influences. This is in contrast to the companion dogs that served as a buddy with positive influences only (including consistent initiator, enjoyment, and parental pride). The authors suggest that companion dogs can serve an important role as a social support system for engagement in physical activity and participation in a weight loss program (11).
In another study, nonowners who acquired a dog increased recreational walking by 31 minutes (adjusted for baseline variables) more than nonowners who did not acquire a dog (6). Researchers noted that "intention to walk" was associated with both dog acquisition and increased recreational walking (6). However, the order of events is not known. Individuals may have acquired a dog and then, in caring for the dog, increased their intent to walk. Another option is that individuals may have increased their intention to walk and then acquired a dog to help put that intention into action (6). Researchers suggest the former to be the more likely option; acquiring a dog only to promote walking seems unlikely because previous studies indicate the main function of pet dogs to be companionship (6).
In addition to the many identified positive factors associated with dog ownership/walking, the impact of dogs on others should be considered. Dogs have the potential to negatively impact physical activity in urban environments because of dog litter in public places and stray or uncontrolled dogs (14). Thus, responsible dog owners, including those who regularly walk their dogs on a leash and under control and who pick up dog litter, are important to keep environments safe and inviting for everyone to be active (14). For additional considerations on keeping pet ownership healthy and safe, see resources in Box 3.
Numerous potential health benefits of pet ownership have been suggested by researchers, although cause-and-effect conclusions are somewhat limited because most studies are, because of practical reasons, cross sectional rather than randomized interventions. Dogs may promote physical activity through motivation and encouragement to initiate a program, as well as social support and companionship to continue an activity program. Dog walking has the potential to improve owner health through regular physical activity and also can promote pet health at the same time.

Percentage of Hungry African-Americans Remains
9/6/2012, 10:57 a.m.
Higher than the Nation
WASHINGTON DC -New data recentlyreleased by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reveals that 25.1 percent of African-American households were food insecure in 2011. Food insecure households are those that struggle to put food on the table and often don't know where their next meal will come from. This figure is more than 10 percentage points higher than the overall U.S. food insecurity figure of 14.9 percent.
"African-Americans continue to be disproportionately impacted by unemployment and poverty, and there is a strong correlation to food insecurity rates," said Rev. Derrick Boykin, associate for African-American leadership outreach. "It is unconscionable that so many in our community continue to suffer, though we know the figures could be far worse if it were not for government nutrition programs helping to keep hunger at bay."
Federal nutrition programs like SNAP (The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly food stamps), WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) and school meal programs have kept more Americans from going hungry. The U.S. food insecurity rate reached an all-time high in 2008--the highest on record since the USDA began recording in 1995. The figures remained at that level through 2011.
According to the report, households with children were almost twice as likely to experience food insecurity. African-American households with children, however, were hit harder than the U.S. population as a whole. While 20.6 percent of all households with children were food insecure, 29.2 percent of African-American households with children were food insecure.
"In the world's wealthiest nation, it is deplorable that so many of our children are at risk of hunger," said Rev. David Beckmann, president of Bread for the World. "Congress has a moral obligation to ensure that programs that support the most vulnerable in our society are protected from budget cuts."
Federally funded safety net programs that helped keep millions of Americans from going hungry in 2011 are currently on the chopping block as Congress continues work on the 2012 farm bill reauthorization and deficit reduction.

More than 9 million American children must deal with numerous adverse family conditions that rob them of their ability to become "productive, adult participants in the mainstream of America's future," according to a survey released today.
About one in seven children face at least four risk factors affecting their chance for success. Among them:
Growing up in a single-parent household or with parents who lack a high-school education;
Growing up with parents who do not have full-time jobs;
Living in poverty, relying on welfare; and
Lacking health insurance;
"Coping with any one of these family risk factors is a challenge, but when these factors are combined, they tend to be mutually reinforcing, creating an environment of risk that reduces the chances for the long-term healthy development of children," the 1999 Kids Count survey reported.
"They're basically describing our kids," said Diana Lane, who with her husband Don pastors CityChurch in Amarillo, which ministers to disadvantaged children.
Many of those factors attribute to homelessness, a constant condition for some children in CityChurch ministries, Lane said.
"They are considered homeless if they don't have an adequate sleeping place at night," Lane said. "I would say 35 to 40 percent of our kids are considered homeless by those standards. Two of our kids, today, I don't know where they are. They are 13 and 10. Their mother was arrested, and everybody who is their blood relative is now in jail."
People who want to help can serve as after-school mentors at CityChurch, or they can work through any of the local agencies that serve homeless and disadvantaged kids, Lane said.
Children growing up with multiple family risk factors are more likely to fail than the average American child. The report, for example, found that 4-year-olds from families with several risk factors listed in the report were twice as likely to have difficulties concentrating, three times as likely to have communication problems and nearly five times as likely to be in poor health as 4-year-olds from families with no risk factors.
"Growing up with four or more of the family risk factors in our vulnerability index is cause for exceptional alarm and merits special attention and intervention," said Douglas W. Nelson, president of the Annie E. Casey Foundation that sponsors the survey.
Black and Hispanic children are more likely than white children to grow up in families with multiple risks, the survey said. Nearly 30 percent of all black children and 25 percent of Hispanic children are in the high-risk category, compared with 6 percent of white children.
About one in four high-risk children live in a rural area and one in three live in poor, urban neighborhoods.
The Kids Count survey is released annually by the Casey Foundation, a children's advocacy group based in Baltimore.
The survey uses 10 factors to gauge conditions affecting young people, including rates for poverty, infant mortality, high school dropouts, teen births, and violent crime arrests for juveniles.
The survey reported a slight dip in the national child poverty rate over an 11-year-period. In 1996, the most recent year available for the survey, 20 percent of the nation's children were impoverished, compared to the 21 percent who lived below the poverty rate in 1985. Alaska, New Hampshire and Utah had the least poor children; Louisiana had the most.

In football, just as in many sports, fans often reflect and think back to what could have been.
What could have been for England in 1986 had 'God's' hand not reached out and tapped the ball beyond Peter Shilton.
What could have been for Holland had Arjen Robben's breakaway attempt not been denied by the right foot of Iker Casillas in South Africa.
For every success on the pitch, there is always a failure. The losing team—often overlooked as we celebrate the achievement of the victors—is forced to sit back and ponder, "what if?"
Many times, that losing team is one that was expected to achieve greatness.
Granted, teams that are supposed to win do just that on many occasions. But every once and a while, the teams expected to come away victorious falter, some at the final hurdle, while others don't make it that far.
For some nations, that has happened more often than they would like.
The list is as long as it is memorable, and extends beyond teams to individual players as well.
For these supremely talented footballers, the road to being branded as an underachiever requires perfect storm of talent, expectation and disappointment. They occasionally brought us to our feet with their displays of brilliance, but more often than not left us craving more.
Whether a team or individual player, all of the following had the potential to be amongst the absolute best, but were unable to deliver what was expected of them. Some even managed to produce for a short period of time, but should have accomplished so much more.
Here are the top 10 underachievers in world football.

Get used to it. Anything remotely based on real science around here gets flamed. You have to understand that accurate sound reproduction is more of a religion than a science to most of these people, and you're an atheist who's telling them there is no god. You should have started a thread about how changing the power cord on your CD player made the most amazing improvement in sound you've ever heard through your KSC-75s. Then you'ld be feeling the love right now.
I think the complexity of the test wave form, combined with how easy it is to see aberrations, is a great idea. I think it's excellent, well thought out stuff. Keep up the good work!
Furthermore, psy models are primarily tuned for _real music_; not test tones that are unlikely to mirror a realistic scenario, created to try to trick the psy model. Those tests are useful when trying to isolate a problem, or improve performance after having solved problems with actual music, but the failure of a psy model on something highly synthetic is hardly dispositive of the global performance of the model. HE-AAC, for example, uses SBR which can actually work fairly well with many songs, especially when taking into account a low target bitrate, but it is unlikely to perform well in some circumstances, such as probably those of this type. Another thing to consider is that what shows as visible loss in some areas may not necessarily indicate poor performance. The fact of the matter is, as per the very foundations of psychoacoustics, you cannot hear all which is available in the source data, and it's the job of the psy model to figure out what you can and cannot hear. A graph that may show some visible loss may indicate the psy model was able to better figure out what was inaudible than that of another codec, and so was able to dedicate more bandwidth to that which is audible in the source.
I'll reiterate my earlier point. Lossy compression's focus is maximisation of quantitative loss with minimisation of qualitative loss. These graphs are unlikely to be sufficient for the purposes of making a well-reasoned, defensible analysis of the qualitative performance of a codec, especially without a working background in psychoacoustic theory and analysis.

What a week: Barenboim plays Brahms and the South Bank celebrates Max. By Paul Driver
At 62, Daniel Barenboim has no trouble executing the solo part of both of Brahms's huge piano concertos in a single concert, then doing the same the following afternoon. The orchestra was the London Symphony, conducted fierily by Antonio Pappano, the hall the Barbican, and the phenomenon typical of this master musician of the age. Two weeks before, he had appeared at the Festival Hall with his own orchestra, the Chicago Symphony, both as conductor (a transcendent Mahler Ninth Symphony) and as the soloist — under Pierre Boulez's direction — in Bartok's First Piano Concerto. From his (and the work's)

DUNCAN, C. S., C. J. R. BLIMKIE, A. KEMP, W. HIGGS, C. T. COWELL, H. WOODHEAD, J. N. BRIODY, and R. HOWMAN-GILES. Mid-femur geometry and biomechanical properties in 15- to 18-yr-old female athletes. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 34, No. 4, pp. 673–681, 2002.
Purpose: Right-leg mid-femur geometry and biomechanical indices of bone strength were compared among elite cyclists (CYC), runners (RUN), swimmers (SWIM), triathletes (TRI), and controls (C)—10 subjects per group.
Methods: Bone cross-sectional areas (CSA), volumes (Vol), and cross-sectional moments of inertia (CSMI) were assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and cortical volumetric bone density (volBMD) was determined as the quotient of DXA-derived bone mineral content (BMC) and MRI-derived cortical bone volume. Bone strength index (BSI) was calculated as the product of cortical volBMD and CSMI.
Results: RUN had higher (P < 0.05) size- (femur length and body mass) adjusted (ANCOVA) cortical CSA than C, SWIM, and CYC; and higher size, age, and years of sport-specific training- (YST) adjusted cortical CSA than SWIM and CYC. TRI had higher (P < 0.05) size-adjusted CSA than SWIM. SWIM and CYC had significantly larger (P < 0.05) size-adjusted medullary cavity CSA than RUN and TRI, and the difference between CYC and RUN persisted after additional adjustment for age and YST. RUN had significantly (P < 0.05) greater size-adjusted CSMI and BSI than C, SWIM, and CYC; and higher size, age, and YST-adjusted CSMI and BSI than SWIM and CYC. Mid-femur areal bone mineral density (BMD) was significantly (P < 0.05) higher for RUN compared with CYC only, but there were no other differences among groups for BMC, bone volumes, or volumetric total or cortical BMD.
Conclusions: Running, a weight-bearing exercise, is associated with more favorable geometric and biomechanical characteristics in relation to bone strength, compared with the weight supported activities of swimming and cycling. Differences may reflect skeletal adaptations to the specific mechanical-loading patterns inherent in these sports.

Sound: The second full-length album by Sam Beam catches at the heart and soul. It's more than amazing. It's more than brilliant. Iron And Wine's songs are very catchy. I can't get them out of my head after I listen to one. Especially the heading track "On Your Wings". Sam Beam, the man behind the music of Iron And Wine, is a modern day, music genius. The entire album itself keeps you attached throught the entire thing. His songs talk about faith, or love, or loss, or death. Which is a great thing to go from something like loving his daughters to something like war. Our Endless Numbered Days is a little boring at times, but it shouldn't keep you from purchasing this album. // 9
Lyrics: The lyrics of Iron And Wine are perfect. The way they flow along with the acoustic guitar is so free and calming. Sam Beam's voice is pure amazement. Best example of his amazing talent is showed in the ending track, "Passing Afternoon". I get chills often from that song. His lyrics are witty at time, and faithful at others. Overall, the lyrics of Iron And Wine are simply brilliant and breath-taking. // 10
Overall Impression: It's strange to me that Iron And Wine's acoustic, country, indie sound came from Miami, Florida. I wouldn't expect such a great sound like this to come from that city. Overall, this album is a must buy! Everything about it is awesome. "On Your Wings", "Sunset Soon Forgotten", and "Passing Afternoon" are the must listen to tracks from Iron And Wine's sophomore release. // 10
Sound: Beauty, it seems, can come in the simplest of forms. Everyones favourite one man army, Sam Beam, aka Iron & Wine, knows this. He has created a masterpiece "difficult second album" while staying nicely in his comfort zone, which, turns out, is highly effective. He has written 12 more acoustic gems, some of which can be boring, but the majority of which can soothe even the angriest of minds. // 9
Lyrics: Sam Beam is a very modest genius. He writes these simple, formulaic songs that you'd expect wouldn't work for any normal singer songwriter, and pulls them off with grace. His lyrics rely heavily on metaphors (and good ones too) but often cover the simplest of subjects. The pretty little stories that he weaves blend perfectly with the soft fingerpicked guitar and his angelic, soft voice. don't be fooled by the album's slightly repetetive opener "On Your Wings", a song which in my opinion drags on a little too much. Luckily it's followed up by an album highlight, "Naked As We Came". This bouncy little track, for me, set the standard of what I like Iron & Wine songs to sound like- happy. On the nearly six minute long "Cinder and Smoke", it seems forced. It could've been a good song, had it only been 3 or 4 minutes long, but Sam seems insistant on dragging it on, and on, and on. Other highlights for me include "Each Coming Night" and "Passing Afternoon." // 9
Overall Impression: All in all, I love this album. It is the most relaxing thing to listen to, and Sam Beam's beautiful tales have the abilty to transport you to wherever he chooses to set them. Bar tracks 1 and 3, the album has a very optimistic sound to it. The heavily metaphorical lyrics leave a lot to the imagination, further enabling to you to be transported away as you try and figure them out. Most importantly, this album evokes feeling, isn't that what music is about? // 10

Once so shy I couldn't make eye contact with comfort, I am now an outgoing introvert with a TV audience of 96 million households on HSN. Who could have guessed that this shy girl would become a TV Show Host? I love sharing the fabulous feeling of finding the right gift for yourself or someone you love, so it's a perfect job fit. Passion drives me, and I have many passions. I am also a Yoga Teacher, a happy wife, an inspirational speaker/storyteller, and an aspiring author.
My DNA is infused with the importing business my father started, which explains my passion for giftware and collectibles. Born in India, my father Sajjan Singh Sarna came to America in 1929 for his education. A natural, creative salesman, he discovered that Americans were hungry for handcrafted treasures from India—incense, fine embroidered goods, and, especially, bells! In 1938, after having a dream about a cow bell ringing and floating in the air, he purchased more bells and created a brand for his treasures: The Bells of Sarna. He named each bell and attached a story tag about the bell's purpose and history in India. Whether new or antique, made of wood or brass, the elephant bells, cow bells, and bells of every size and shape sold quickly. He fell in love with my mom, who he met in New York City, and they married. A force of nature herself in design and fashion, she was his true soul mate, in life, and in business. They were the first to do quality control in India and imported millions of beautiful Sarna Bells to America.
Like my parents, I am a Marketer, infatuated with branding and product development. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration at the University of Florida. The Sarasota, Florida yoga studio I owned for 10 years is one of my biggest accomplishments. During this period, I created two television programs: an instructional Yoga show and a talk show on Natural Healing. After, I traveled the world for a year, teaching Business Skills to women and speaking about "How to project a powerful positive image." I've been humbled with awards, for helping people manage conflict, coaching on corporate diplomacy, and giving compassion to people who drive us nuts. Public relations, cold-sales calling, and fundraising flesh out my resume. Throughout my life, I have been a passionate rock-hound, collecting gemstones and studying them along the way. This passion led me to become a Graduate Gemologist from The Gemological Institute of America
When I joined HSN in 1999, I found my niche. HSN offers me the chance to be a jeweler, a home decor consultant, and a stylist, though the products I present.
In my free time, I am also writing a book/screenplay/musical about my parents' adventures as they traveled throughout the world, creating and importing gifts, jewelry, and textiles. The story is about their lives and their love for each other, with a "rags-to-riches" twist we can all learn from today.

New Holland, PA (June 05, 2013) -
"With new engines, the 200 Series will not only meet the Tier 4 standards, they will also have more power and capability. They can still work in the same spaces they did before, but they will perform like the next class size larger machine," says Paul Wade, Construction Equipment Product Marketing Manager.
Medium-frame models meet Tier 4 Final standards with DOC-only technologyNew Holland Construction's medium-frame L218 and L220 skid steers have been updated with new ISM diesel four-cylinder turbocharged and after-cooled engines with an efficient, fuel-efficient high pressure common rail (HPCR) fuel system design and electronic controls. These engines meet the Tier 4 Final emissions mandate with a maintenance-free diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC)-only solution which eliminates the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF)."These models are frequently used in rental yards and fleets with multiple operators," says Wade. "The DOC-only solution offers these customers a greater level of maintenance convenience than the more commonly utilized cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR) with diesel particulate filter (DPF) technology."With a 21% higher peak torque rise at 1,800 rpm, the L220 has a 12% increase in horsepower from 60 to 67 gross hp. The L218 remains at 60 gross hp, but has 7% more torque for additional power and performance.
Compact models meet Tier 4 Final standards with CEGR/DPFThe small-frame L213 and L216 compact skid steers meet Tier 4 Final status using CEGR and DPF technology. The L213 skid steer features a 2.2-liter ISM engine. With this new engine, the gross horsepower increases from 46 to 49 hp. with a 9.6% torque boost. Compared to the L215 model it replaces, the L216 boasts an increased operating lift capacity of 1,600 lbs. Engine horsepower has been increased by 8 hp. Additionally, a hydraulic quick coupler option is now available on both of these compact skid steers.
Maximized performance and reliabilityTo maximize performance and reliability, all models in the 200 Series feature new electronic engine control. CAN-messaging capabilities allow the operator to monitor and store diagnostic data points, including hydraulic oil temperature, fuel rail pressure and fuel tank level.
With the 200 Series, New Holland maintains the best-in-class forward dump height and reach with the vertical lift design that can load material to the center of trucks, finishing jobs faster. The medium-frame skid steer loaders feature the patented vertical lift Super Boom® design, delivering superior forward dump height and reach. The 53-degree dump angle on the 200 Series skid steer loaders is also best in class. This lets operators empty the bucket faster, increasing cycle times and productivity.
The self-leveling bucket feature on the five models with the Super Boom design allows attachments to maintain the preset location throughout the lift cycle. Customers using pallet forks or other attachments to load materials into confined spaces will appreciate the extra work they'll be able to complete with the self-leveling feature.

Skip to comments.Video of the Largest Wolf Pack Ever Found in Oregon
Posted on 08/06/2010 7:01:50 PM PDT by Korah
Thanks to U.S. District Judge Donald Molloy's ruling (PDF file of preliminary injunction order) that the Endangered Species Act protections must be reinstated for wolves in both Montana and Idaho, be prepared to hear of more reports about large packs of wolves roaming the countryside in neighboring states like the one that was filmed in Oregon. Even though neither state, Washington or Oregon, were part of the Fish and Wildlife Service's wolf reintroduction program, they are definitely a recipient of the outcome. It was the late "90"s when the first wolves made it to Oregon, now they are beginning to roam in large packs.... (excerpt)
Follow the link below to see the video of the
Largest Wolf Pack Ever Found in Oregon
(Excerpt) Read more at ChicoER/Gate)....
The intellectuals and elites are all for re-introducing the predators back into the herd of sheep whether they are wolves, criminals, or Muslim terrorists. It wouldn't be fair to do anything less! It's a good way of thinning the herd.
If a rancher looses livestock to them...reimburse out of tax dollars.
Wolves don't attack people and as far as I know there's not a documented attack on humans by wolves in over 100 years.
However, Mountain Lions and Bears attack humans EVERY YEAR, multiple time per year.
Should we kill all of them too?
Britain has it's weirdos also.
"Wolves in Wales appear to have vanished in the early medieval period. The last reference to them is in 1166 when a so-called "madwolf" was reported to have killed 22 people"
"A BIZARRE campaign is being hatched to return wild beasts such as bears and wolves to the forests of Wales.
While most conservationists in Wales are busy trying to bring back the harmless dormouse and rare butterflies from the brink of extinction, the Wild Beasts Trust is going a step further.
It is trying to bring back "man-eating" carnivores that have not been seen in the wilds of Britain for centuries, such as bears, wolves and lynx.
Inspired by the restoration of the osprey and red kite populations in Wales, the Scottish-based group said it is already reintroducing beavers, which have not lived in Britain since the mid 17th century, into Tayside and it has its sights set on Wales too."
The wolves have the elk herd in Yellowstone and around it cut in half, so less elk to hunt. They are up in the Big Horns so will clean the elk and deer out here.
Umm, Candice Berner, an Alaska school teacher was attacked and killed by wolves last March.
There are numerous documented wolf attacks on humans...
Holy crap! That's one big wolf!
It's not wolves, but bears here- I can think of two cases (one this Summer, the other several years back) when bears travelled through the city of Pittsburgh. Bears. Liberalism is destroying this country.
A wolf acting in protection of young?
Or, a documented case of predation?
Even IF predation, we see dozens of cases every years of DOMESTIC DOGS killing humans...
Should we kill all of them too?
A breeding pair in Central Park would be interesting
I was in Oregon for an elk hunt in the Malheur Forest of eastern Oregon in 1997. While I was there I got to thinking how much different the hunt preparations would be if there were Grizzlies in those mountains. My brother assured me that the last Grizzly South of the Columbia River had been killed 105 years before, and there was no way they could swim that!
In 1998, on the next mountain range north of where we camped, a ranger was trapped in his truck camper for hours by a big Grizzly. It seems that there may have been a secretive operation by the state biologists to re-introduce a breeding pair of the bears back into the area.
I've changed up to a .375-338 for all subsequent hunts.
Well don't you sling the propaganda around. Wolves do attack people, they attack anything that looks like food. There are many documented attacks on humans in the European records, you might want to take a look at them sometime. The BS about wolves not attacking humans is something the greenies made up in order to justify sticking them back into the states.
Ranchers don't want to be reimbursed they want to keep their herds multiplying and make money selling the meat, wool or whatever.
You are saying, fine, let the wolves kill all the livestock and let the taxpayers pay the Ranchers so they can make a profit and feed the wolves.
People used to say Mountain Lions didn't attack people either but they sure as he** do.
Think about this: Dogs are wolves closest relatives and they attack and kill people almost daily, in the US and other countries, so what makes you think that wolves, who are more vicious than any dog, will not attack and eat humans?
Wolves don't attack people and as far as I know there's not a documented attack on humans by wolves in over 100 years.
"Umm, Candice Berner, an Alaska school teacher was attacked and killed by wolves last March.
There are numerous documented wolf attacks on humans...
And, in THAT case the Canadian Wildlife Department testified in court that death was the result of a bear attack.
I'm with you...I hate over reaction on this stuff and you make excellant points...relax. Not everyone is ready to extinguish the wolves.
and, of course, there is the historic fear of wolves.
Re-introducing wolves is just another way for socialists and other commie leaning liberal elitists to thin the human herd.
I like the photo, but wasn't that proven to be fake?
I have a friend who is with Fish and Wildlife in Oregon. They have been working with a rancher for a couple of years who has done everything they suggested to protect his livestock from wolves. He just lost 30 yearling sheep.
When the wolf reintroduction was proposed, supposedly the ranchers would be reimbursed for their losses, but it was never funded so he's out of luck - as is every other farmer/rancher in Oregon.
Typical liberal thought process - here's what we want (wolves are nice creatures and won't it be nice to have them in the wild again) - bend over.
\ Grow up. Bears and Lions both are hunted and in the states they aren't hunted they are kept in check by people shooting them illegally. As for dogs, they generally don't run wild and most of the killings are by a particular breed or breeds, the owners are responsible and in some cases have been sent to jail for murder. This keeps the amount of dog attacks down to a minimum. However, you answer the question of wolves attacking humans by your own senseless arguments. If Dogs attack people then wolves sure as he** will, and do, attack people.
Coyotes, which are in reality small wolves, attack people every year, they are also hunted, which tends to keep attacks on people to a minimum. Fear of humans does that. By not allowing these wolves to be hunted they have no fear of man and are more likely to start snacking on humans, they certainly have no fear of coming onto ranches and killing off livestock, which my tax dollars have to pay for.
Seems to me you have some more recovering to do. You are another who claims to be smart, but your own statement proves you are ignorant of the facts.
Go back to smoking your pot and singing coom by yah at the campfire with thin injuns lib.
That is absolutely correct. The European wolves were very aggressive toward humans and were killed off as a result.
I see folks citing articles that are composed of conjecture (and there are refutations to most), but I have yet to see a link that substantiates a documented case of a wolf killing a human in North America in the last 100 years.
And, even if there were 10, I would ask this audience: Compare that to 12 deaths annually in the US due to Domestic Dog Bites!
Should we kill all domestic dogs?
You earned that award! Just grand
"This beautiful photo of a wolf jumping over a fence elicited the usual rabble of "fake!" claims when it won a prestigious wildlife photography competition. The photographer denies the claims, but he's just been stripped of the award.
Unusually, nobody doubts that it's a real wolf (as opposed to some sort of photo manipulation)the controversy is that the wolf pictured may in fact be a tame wolf by the name of Ossian. The evidence: It's an exceedingly rare species, hardly ever seen in the wild; a wild wolf would be more likely to squeeze through the fence than leap over it; and, um, it looks like Ossian (I guess there are people out there who can tell wolves apart; I can barely tell that it's not my neighbor's dog). Jesus termed it "the ultimate FAKE internet whining."
The judges for the Natural History Museum have decided after awarding this photo the top prize that the wolf pictured is in fact a tame specimen, which breaks the rules of the competition."
If you read the caption to this photo, it says Veolia Environment Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009.
Jose Luis Rodriguez was forced to admit the wolf in the photo is a tamed wolf he rented out for the day to take the photoshoot. The award was rescinded.
Whoops! Wrong Wolf pack!
I don't know whether that remark should be classified as wacky or just plain idiotic...
fruit loops
Evidence provided by Rodriguez's accusers point to a black scar under the wolves' right eye
That aint gonna put me to sleep!
Bears usually avoid human beings but there is an occasional attack due to cubs being around or the bear is starving. Where do you think the term, "bear market" originated?
Mountain lions are usually very solitary and attacks on humans are rare. Between 1890 and 2004 about 20 people have died from being attacked.
Why should we add more predators to those that are already out there? You want to see more human beings die?
As a New Englander ignorant about these matters, is there anything practically that will prevent some public spirited hunters from plugging these things and moving on if the packs become a problem?
Under that logic, should we kill all domestic dogs? Domestic dogs kill 12 people per year on average.
What happened to common sense?
If a wolf is causing a problems, coming onto private property getting near kids and or killing stock on private property, kill the damn wolf...Can the government and it's over paid agents not see this as justified?
What is the GD problem?
The way I see it, if the wolves are not bothering anyone, leave them the hell alone, but if someone shoots one on their private property for good reason...So what?
Lemme guess, this is against federal law?
...you answered my question
Photographic Proof That Wolves Do Kill Without Eating Their prey
You didn't answer my question. Do you want to add more predators to the wild that will result in the deaths of more human beings than what is already occurring?
You slightly overstate the case. On rare occasion, wolves attack humans, esp sick, injured, or old ones. Then again, it is RARE. See http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_attacks_on_humans esp compared to other carnivors. I'm with you on this one.
—Alaska State Troopers said yesterday that a woman found dead in Chignik Lake early this week was most likely killed in a wolf attack, and state authorities are on their way there to try to capture or kill the animals.This from ANCHORAGE, Alaska. It is true. Do not want to believe?
By the way, your ignorance forced me to post the whole article because you are the type that will never follow a link if it proves how ignorant you are.
Candice Berner, 32, appeared to have been killed Monday evening during a run along a remote road outside the community on the Alaska Peninsula, according to troopers. An autopsy yesterday determined the cause of death was "multiple injuries due to animal mauling," troopers spokeswoman Megan Peters said in a statement.
Based on interviews with biologists and villagers in Chignik Lake, troopers concluded wolves were the animals most likely responsible, she said.
The state Department of Fish and Game wanted to conduct DNA testing to help study the incident, but troopers are convinced it was a wolf attack, troopers director Col. Audie Holloway said.
"We are as close to 100 percent certain as you can be," Holloway said.
Troopers investigating the scene found many wolf footprints around the body and bloody drag marks in the snow, he said. Berner's body had been partially predated and had teeth marks on the throat, which was severely damaged and was the likely injury that caused her death, Holloway said.
Investigators were able to conclude after the autopsy that the animal injuries caused the death and were not inflicted post-mortem, he said.
"She was bleeding as she was being moved, being drug, and the damage to the throat," Holloway said. "The medical examiner concluded that she wasn't killed by any other method and that the damage to the throat was severe. There were animal bite marks on the throat.
"Wolves, just like big cats, usually attack the wind pipe area and try to control the victim that way."
It appeared the attack was predatory, motivated by wolves wanting something to eat, he said.
Holloway said troopers and Fish and Game biologists were on their way to Chignik Lake yesterday planning to capture or kill the responsible wolves.
They believe at least two or three were involved, he said.
"We'll stay as long as we can to make sure the public feels as safe as we can make them feel living in Alaska," he said.
Berner, a 32-year-old special education teacher based in Perryville, was found dead Monday evening by a group on snowmachiners traveling along a road outside Chignik Lake.
Berner, originally from Slippery Rock, Pa., stood about 4 feet, 11 inches tall and was an athletic person, an avid runner, according to her family. Officials from the Lake and Peninsula School District said Berner left work at the end of the day Monday to go for a run.
The snowmachiners came across the scene of her death a short time later.
In the wake of the death, villagers began hunting for wolves in the area, which they say have been coming increasingly closer to town in search of food.
Wolves like to hunt and they will hunt people without hesitation. The "mystique" around them is pure advertising.
Sad too.
What about the dozen killed every year by domestic dogs?
Should we eliminate that threat?
I never advocated killing all the wolves, although I think bringing them back into the states was a mistake, but they need a season on them in order to keep the packs in check.
Once they kill off all the deer,elk, and moose in the USA, and in some areas they have almost reached that point, they will turn more and more to livestock and then to humans. Whatever is easiest to catch is what they will kill and eat, and that includes humans. The reason there isn't any records of wolves attacking humans in the USA for the last hundred years is because for most of that time wolves were extinct in the US.
As for EU wolves being more aggressive, that is true of the original gray wolves that the USA had but the ones imported from Canada and Alaska are bigger and more aggressive than the original. There will be humans killed as soon as the wild prey goes away.
Mountain lions didn't start attacking humans in numbers until they ran out of range, becoming over populated in areas with wild game and moving into close proximity to man.
Wild predators will hunt and kill anything that is edible and that includes humans.
As for saying that if they only kill 10 or 12 people a year being an acceptable number, I suppose you would think the same if one of those victims was a relative to you or yourself.

Training camp is an absolute battle for just about everyone involved. If you're not fighting to make the roster, you're fighting for a starting job and increased playing time in the upcoming season. There are always a handful of players that can do no wrong, but even those players will become more expendable once they start to decline.
Yes, training camp is an intense battle that you just don't see in any other sport. Rosters are always getting shaken up. Players are getting released or traded all the time and one bad day of practice could cost some of these roster hopefuls their one shot at the NFL.
I'll take a look at the Eagles current 90-man roster and analyze some of the recent moves along with some of the upcoming moves. I'll also take a look at each position group and determine who stays, who goes and who is right on the borderline.

For Sale: SEITZ 6X17, 160 Megapixel Digital Panoramic Camera Kit.
Seitz 6×17, 160 megapixel Digital Panoramic Camera kit with D3 – 7,500 scan back (7.500 x 21.250 pixel images).
Cost £20,000 (+/- US $30,000) which represents 50% of new value.
Mint condition except minimal W&T on body frame. 90mm & 250mm Lens, Center Filter, 2 Spare Batteries & Chargers all in Waterproof Explorer Case. Lenses and Scan Back in absolute mint condition, no dust or anything. The D3 Scan back can be used on the Seitz Roundshot for 360 degree images.
Reason for sale is while the images are beautiful, there are 3 main reasons.
1. I want to take pictures 'away from the car', ie, you can-not take camping equipment with the Seitz equipment as it is just too heavy and bulky.
2. At 52 my knees seem to be getting 'dodgy' ie I can start feeling them getting painful if I carry heavy weights, especially up hill. (Weakest link in the chain as it were!).
3. I am getting more into workshops where Nikons etc are more suitable or relevant.
So when I look at the overall picture, I can find a smaller lighter camera, save my knees and not really loose any market in terms of print sales. Indeed the change would free me from the restriction of having just a 90mm and 250mm lens and allow me to shoot in more remote locations with a greater lens choice.
If serious, suggest communicate directly with me via email at email@example.com
David Osborn, www.BritishPanoramics.com, London, UK.

Please contact me for more detailed information etc. Regards David.

…the Dialectic
What does public health have to do with personalized medicine? Ten years of thinking, talking, and writing on this question have turned a lopsided seesaw into a springboard for dialectic. The connections between human biology and epidemiology must grow stronger before either science can fully deliver on its promise to help people stay healthy.
…the Skeptic
After training in preventive medicine, epidemiology, and biostatistics, I had a 25-year career at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). My first encounter with genomics was in the HIV epidemic monitoring program in the late 1980′s, when the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was new technology, available in only a few US laboratories. Within ten years, PCR had become indispensable in public health research and surveillance. It had also inspired the human genome project. I joined CDC's new Office of Public Health Genomics in 1999.
Disclosure: Since retiring from the Commissioned Corps of the US Public Health Service in 2009, I have worked as an independent consultant. I continue to work on CDC projects with the Office of Public Health Genomics, as well as other groups. I am not paid for writing this blog and receive no income from it. Inspiration for posts comes from many sources, including scientific publications, media reports, websites, and other blogs. I credit these sources and link to them directly whenever possible. I do not write about projects that I am consulting on or discuss information that is not in the public domain.

Hi, I have Robot Coupe R100 but the bowl is gray color (part# 117657). Can I use this one, this Clear one? or do you have the gray color in stock. thanks, Joe
Hi. Yes, this clear one can be used with R100. The gray one is a special order part and has to be ordered by phone.

I have an OLD Robot Coupe-maybe 1982. I can't even find the model number. On the bottom it says Type RC 1A. The center section of the bowl has snapped off so I need a new bowl . The one above looks very close to the one I have. The difference is the location of the locking hinges at the top of the bowl. Mine are located to the right of the cylinder with the spring in it (when the spring is at 12:00) and opposite this cylinder, (at 6:00) which I think is the necessary location for the lid to hook on. Is there such a bowl still being made?
Hello, we would recommend that you contact the Robot Coupe company directly to make sure that you find the bowl that is best suited for the model you currently have. They will be able to give you precise information for this older model and current replacements parts. Thank you!

Dimensionality Reduction by Feature Selection in Machine Learning
Dimensionality reduction is a commonly used step in machine learning, especially when dealing with a high dimensional space of features. The original feature space is mapped onto a new, reduced dimensioanllyity space and the examples to be used by machine learning algorithms are represented in that new space. The mapping is usually performed either by selecting a subset of the original features or/and by constructing some new features. This persentation deals with the first approach, feature subset selection. We provide a brief overview of the feature subset selection techniques that are commonly used in machine learning and give a more detailed description of feature subset selection used in machine learning on text data. Performance of some methods used is document categorization is illustrated by providing experimental comparison on real-world data collected from the Web.

Kitchen bacteria…most people don't want to talk about it, but no matter how clean your kitchen is, some of these may surprise you! The kitchen is one of the many places we frequent that we want to make sure is clean, REALLY clean. And unluckily for us, it's one of the two rooms in our homes where the most bacteria can be found. (Not surprisingly, the bathroom is the other room.) But it makes sense — a lot of activity happens in the kitchen.
Not only is the kitchen one of the most popular places to gather, but raw foods (including meat) and dirty plates are handled on a regular basis. But it's important to keep it clean; bacteria can make you and your family sick. There are some spots that we always wipe down, and then others that we might not even know are important to disinfect. Take a look below at 6 places that are harboring the most bacteria in your kitchen.
Here's some tips on How To Avoid Cross Contamination…
Kitchen Drain
The only thing in your home that houses more germs than the kitchen drain is your bathroom toilet. And this is problematic since the kitchen drain is in close contact with many other kitchen items. A quick way to clean your kitchen drain is to pour a little baking soda in it with warm water running.
Wash Cloth/Sponge
You may think you're cleaning your plates and cups when in fact you could just be spreading bacteria all over them. A sponge or wash cloth can house 134,630 bacteria/square inch, so you may want to keep it clean. You can either zap the sponge in the microwave for a minute, run it in the dishwasher.
Kitchen Faucet
When you need to wash your hands while making dinner, you have to use the faucet handle (with your dirty hands). The faucet handle essentially sees many hands before they've been washed, so don't forget to wipe it down.
Dish Towel
A study on NBC.com found that "7 percent of kitchen towels were contaminated with MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), the difficult-to-treat staph bacteria that can cause life-threatening skin infections." The best way to avoid MRSA is to wash them once to twice a week, and allow them to completely air dry.
Microwave Buttons
When is the last time you wiped down your microwave buttons? For many of us, that answer would be close to never. But think about how many times dirty fingers are in contact those buttons. Next time you clean the inside of your microwave (which we sure hope you do), be sure to get the outside too.
Salt & Pepper Shaker
In a recent study conducted by the University of Virginia, "researchers asked 30 adults who were beginning to show signs of a cold, to name 10 places they'd touched in their homes over the previous 18 hours. The researchers then tested those areas for cold viruses. The tests found viruses on 41 percent of the surfaces tested, and every one of the salt and pepper shakers tested were positive for cold viruses." To solve this, just remember to wipe down your shakers when you wipe down your kitchen table.

Latest Comments
Condiment Confessions
I don't like sour cream on borritos or sandwiches, I'll have a little with baked potatoes but that's about it.
I hate ketchup, I almost always use hot sauce or maybe bbq sauce instead.
Can't stand sweet mustard either, but I love the spicy kind.
Mayo based dressings/dips... I don't like them on salads or on veggies. I do like a little mayo along with other condiments on sandwiches, and I'm ashamed to admit that I also like it on fries.
Relish I also stay away from, tho a good hot pepper relish can be good.
I'm not too big on condiments anyway, I don't think loading up a meal with any amount of "extras" really makes an improvement.
Is This Food?
Yes, it's food.
But a $625, 2400-page cookbook? Coming from a Microsoft exec? I find this ironic...
Weekend Giveaway: 'Masterchef Cookbook'
My thai red curry.
Hey SE'ers-What do you do for a living?
Software developer.
I can relate to feedmillgirl. I excel in the gray area between art and science, and I find that both cooking and coding fall into that category.
Cooking for One?
I hear what you're saying about cooking for one. However have you seen the series small plates? It's intended to make dishes that can provide small servings for several people, however I think you could also use it to make a single large serving for one.
Best breakfast to get you thru the workday?
Greek yogurt with fresh berries/fruit and nuts is one of my summertime favorites, its always very satisfying.
For the winter I like savory oatmeal consisting of oatmeal mixed with an egg, herbs and maybe some cheese, or else with some yogurt and dried fruit.
Also, eggs in toast, and omelettes filled with whatever leftovers happen to be lying around the fridge.
Soft-Serve Poll: Vanilla, Chocolate, or Swirl?
I don't get why most places only offer chocolate and vanilla for soft serve. I went to a specialty ice cream place once that had some berry flavors- in fact their blueberry softserve had to be the best ice cream I've ever had.
Crepes with lettuce filling -- looking for a recipe
I'm not familiar with anything like this myself, but this sounded interesting so I did some research on it.
Are you familiar with blintz/blini, basically a Jewish/Eastern European crepe? I found a cabbage-filled variation of it here which sounds a lot like what you're describing.
What is Your Absolute Favorite "Ethnic" Cuisine?
I'd have to say authentic Greek. Actually offers a very good variety...
roast leg of lamb, kebabs, and Greek sausage for meats, obviously you'd have all the seafood you'd want. Some of the best vegetarian choices, like stuffed grape leaves, spanakopita, tomato salads. Amazing pastries like Baklava for dessert. Greek yogurt with honey is one of my favorite breakfasts. And of course, classic Greek dishes like mousaka and pastitsio.
Honestly, I've traveled over a descent part of Europe including Italy, France, and Germany, but Greek cuisine had to be my favorite, it really is underrated. Of course, the fact that most American Greek restaurants are poor quality doesn't help.
Cook the Book: 'The Book of Tapas'
definitely have to go with spanish tortilla
What's the Weirdest Sandwich You Make?
A favorite wrap: Ham and turkey, with pepperjack cheese, french fries, spicy mustard, hot peppers, and a little of each of any veggies available, wrapped in a wheat wrap and toasted.
Sometimes I leave out the fries and cheese if I'm not looking for as much of a comforter... some people think it's a weird combo but ham and turkey is delicious.

A rock-and-roll family reunion
By Ann Hornaday
Friday, Nov 04, 2011
"Janie Jones" takes its cue from rock-and-roll at its most road-weary and hard-bitten, even if it has nothing to do with the Clash or the group's 1977 song of the same name.
Instead, writer-director David Rosenthal has set his modern family picaresque in the archipelago of Nowheresvilles in the American Midwest, where for years, aging alternative rocker Ethan Brand (Allesandro Nivola) has been plying the asphalt seas with his two backup musicians and an Ahab-like obsession with recapturing his lost youth and fame. (Ethan's fictional songs were written by Clem Snide's Eef Barkley, and Nivola assumes a credible Dave Alvin-like authority once he hits the stage.)
It's into this boozy, depressive world that an erstwhile groupie (played by Elisabeth Shue in a cameo) arrives one night to tell Ethan he's a father - and oh, by the way, she needs to go to rehab so here's his chance to bond with the 13-year-old daughter he never knew. M'kay, thanks a bunch, byeeee!
Luckily for Ethan, the kid in question is Janie Jones (Abigail Breslin), an unusually gifted and self-possessed teenager who regards Ethan with the even gaze of a much older and wiser soul that her years suggest. (A nervy sequence later in the film proves that her mien of maturity isn't a put-on.)
Nivola and Breslin make a terrific mismatched pair in a film that often resembles a mash-up of "Crazy Heart" and Sofia Coppola's "Somewhere," which may account for why it too often feels derivative and contrived - especially in a third act that revolves around a whiplash familial reveal and a sweet but preposterous payoff. Still, the two lead actors harmonize not only figuratively but literally, when Breslin shows that our Little Miss Sunshine can sing. Kudos as well to Frank Whaley and Joel Moore as Ethan's long-suffering bandmates; they aptly capture the affection, competition and testosterone-fueled chaos of a world bound by a stage on one side and a smelly tour bus on the other.
Contains brief drug use and adult themes.
