When Alzheimer's begins in middle age, misdiagnosis may be more likely. This rare form of Alzheimer's affects work, finances and family.
Early-onset Alzheimer's is an uncommon form of dementia that strikes people younger than age 65. Glenn E. Smith, Ph.D., a neuropsychologist at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn., answers questions about this condition.
Of all the people who have Alzheimer's disease, about 5 percent develop symptoms before age 65. So if 4 million Americans have Alzheimer's, at least 200,000 people have the early-onset form of the disease.
Early-onset Alzheimer's has been known to develop between ages 30 and 40, but that's very uncommon. It's more common to see someone in his or her 50s who has the disease.
Some people with early-onset Alzheimer's have the common form of the disease, and experts don't know why these people get the disease at a younger age than others do.
For most, however, early-onset Alzheimer's runs in the family. They're likely to have a parent or grandparent who also developed Alzheimer's at a younger age.
Early-onset Alzheimer's that runs in families is linked to three genes that differ from the APOE gene that can increase your risk of Alzheimer's in general. The genetic path of inheritance is much stronger in early-onset Alzheimer's. If you have a genetic mutation in one of those three genes — the APP, PSEN 1 or PSEN 2 — you may develop Alzheimer's before age 65.
That's a personal decision that only you can make. Anyone who's considering it should pursue genetic counseling — to examine the pros and cons beforehand.
For example, it may be helpful to consider how a positive test may affect your eligibility for long-term care, disability and life insurance.
On the other hand, if you know you carry a form of the early-onset genes, you may be able to take steps to make it easier for you and your loved ones to cope with the effects of the disease.
There's a perception that it does, but it's not backed up by hard data. It depends on what endpoint you're using in your measurement. If the endpoint is admission to a nursing home, that may occur earlier for the early-onset group — but only because their spouses or partners may have more things to deal with, such as children and jobs, than older spouses do.
For example, people who have early-onset Alzheimer's often still have children at home. They or their spouses or partners may have elderly parents that need care, too. Often, people may find themselves overwhelmed with caring for elderly parents, the loved one with early-onset Alzheimer's and their children all at the same time.
Fortunately, resources are available to support people with Alzheimer's to care for themselves and function on their own as long as possible. Many resources are also available for caregivers. Support that can be essential when dealing with early-onset Alzheimer's.
Accurate diagnosis is critical so that you can explain your condition to your employer and perhaps arrange a lighter workload or more convenient schedule. For family reasons it is even more crucial.
The diagnosis is fundamental in helping the family respond with appropriate understanding and compassion. In addition, a complete evaluation will rule out reversible forms of dementia that might improve with treatment.
Alzheimer's disease has a tremendous impact at any age. But we don't expect to see dementia at a young age, so problems emerging at work or home may be misunderstood. People with early-onset Alzheimer's may lose relationships or jobs instead of being identified as medically ill or disabled.
Before your condition significantly affects your ability to do your job, talk to your employer. What you can do:
The loss of intimacy is something poignant with early-onset Alzheimer's. Many people who develop late-onset Alzheimer's have already been widowed. But couples in their 40s or 50s are often in the middle of their lives together.
Spouses or partners face the possibility of spending many years without an active partner. Losing the romantic component and changing to a caregiver status complicates the relationship. Try to:
A diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's also can be difficult for your children, who may not understand what you may go through. Children may blame themselves, become angry or react in any number of ways. Try to:
People with early-onset Alzheimer's often have to quit work, and this loss of income is a serious concern. Finances get even tighter if spouses or partners also quit their jobs to become full-time caregivers.
Some medical benefits and many social-support programs won't provide assistance unless the person with Alzheimer's is older than age 65. Younger people may need special waivers to get into such programs. What you can do:
Key elements of Alzheimer's care are education and support. This is especially true given the unique social challenges of early-onset Alzheimer's. Getting connected to services such as support groups can help you identify resources, gain a deeper understanding of the disability and learn ways to adapt.
Remember, you're not alone. Many resources are available to assist you, your family and caregivers to cope with this disease. Options for support may vary depending on where you live.
Be sure in the early stages of the disease that you and your spouse or partner do research and establish a plan for managing the progression of your condition. Knowing you have a plan and have identified support and resources will help everyone in the future.

Your #1 choice looks like the best choice. The reason FB and Pavesi look very similar is because they are the same ovens. FB ovens used to be made by Pavesi(FB commercial ovens), that's why their older Modena2G models used to have that P on the arch of the ovens mouth and now that don't. FB basically ripped them off. I've got an Ambrogi WFO, and while it's a great oven I can't see going anything but a built Neapolitan oven for commercial use. Do you mind me asking why you want to go gas and not wood? Is it because of HD issues? Running gas at those temps can't be cheaper than using wood, it's definitely cleaner(no spliting, stacking, if space is an issue), but it's hard to believe it's cheaper.
The reason for gas is its more convenient, and the wood we have here is mostly pine.. Which isn't good so we would have to the the wood from British Colombia Canada. I live in Calgary Alberta Canada. The natural gas here is cheaper then to get wood. Also like you mentioned its cleanerFor home use definitely wood..but for commercial its a different. Lots of factors that you have to consider like space, cost and transportation of wood, living in Canada weather doesn't help a lot of snow. Dont get me wrong I would love wood..its just not sensible to go that route for us.

Here's how to fix that: On Aug. 11, at 5:30 p.m., in the social hall of Congregation Etz Jacob (7659 Beverly Blvd.), you can attend a free meal as part of the observance of the holy day. The meal will be served prior to the beginning of the fast and will include a discussion with Rabbi Rubin Huttler on the laws and customs of the meal, the fast and the day of observance.
The meal will conclude across the street from the Los Angeles Holocaust Monument Amphitheatre in Pan Pacific Park. There, participants will eat the traditional hard-boiled egg dipped in ashes, and hear two speakers discuss another traumatic time in Jewish history: the prisoner uprising in the Treblinka concentration camp. U.S. Immigration Judge Bruce J. Einhorn, Adjunct Professor of International Human Rights Law and War Crime Studies at Pepperdine University School of Law, will speak on the lessons of the Temple destructions and Treblinka, and businessman and philanthropist Fred Kort, one of the few remaining survivors of Treblinka, will offer his recollection of the camp.
After the two addresses, the audience will read from the Book of Lamentations under the stars, using only flashlights for illumination. "It's a very dramatic atmosphere," Miriam Huttler told Up Front. "It's a very moving way to mark Tisha B'Av."
For reservations for the complementary meal, phone (213) 938-2619.
How To Mark Tisha B'Av, Part II
At the Westwood Kehilla Synagogue, a full day of special presentations will mark the Jewish day of mourning, beginning on Monday evening, Aug. 11, and running through Tuesday. In addition to the traditional services, Rabbi Eli Stern will speak about the "conceptual underpinning of the root causes of the various tragedies marked by Tisha B'Av and offer a paradigm for the bringing about of the Messianic redemption of the Jewish people," according to synagogue publicity. Yaakov Glasser will discuss the elegies that commemorate the tragic events in Jewish history. This is no lighthearted holy day.
At 6 p.m. on Tuesday, the kehilla will join more than 100 synagogues worldwide in sharing a special made-for-Tisha B'Av video featuring Rabbi Yissacher Frand of Baltimore and Paysach Krohn of New York. Both will speak on "Peace Among Jews" and offer practical advice for interpersonal relationships. Why this subject? It was baseless hatred among Jews that brought about the destruction of the Second Temple, writes the Talmud. So why not work to prevent it from happening again?
For more information, call the Westwood Kehilla Synagogue at (310) 441-5288.
How To Mark Tisha B'Av, Part III
One way Up Front chooses to mark the destruction of the Temples is to update readers on the increasingly inevitable destruction of a local one. After The Journal reported last year on efforts to save Boyle Heights' historic and once-magnificent Breed Street Shul, the Los Angeles Times ran a similar article. A public outcry followed both articles, and the Los Angeles City Council, prompted by the Southern California Jewish Historical Society, enacted a measure to surround the shul with a high fence to keep out the vandals, crack addicts and prostitutes who called it home.
Meanwhile, the parties contesting the future of the shul -- the SCJHS, on one side, and Rabbi Mordechai Ganzweig, who claims title to the property, on the other -- convened at the behest of an interested community member in an attempt to reach an agreement.
According to a source present at the negotiations -- which nearly broke apart in acrimonious debate -- the SCJHS agreed to buy the property from the rabbi for a price that the organization would determine. The purchase funds would be put into escrow and distributed to a charity chosen by the widow of Osher Zilberstein, the synagogue's longtime former rabbi. The SCJHS, in return, signed a covenantal agreement with Ganzweig that the structure would never be used for any religious services other than Jewish. Sources estimate a possible purchase price at around $100,000.
For a while, everybody seemed happy.
But that was August 1996. One year later, the SCJHS has yet to make a firm offer to Ganzweig. One source told Up Front that the historical society is looking into the possibility that the rabbi cannot sell what he doesn't legally own. Ganzweig's lawyer claimed during the negotiations that he can produce a clear and unencumbered title to the property. The parties have not been in contact, and none were available for comment as The Journal went to press.
In the meantime, the stately old shul off Cesar Chavez Boulevard -- one of the last remaining monuments to that era of Los Angeles Jewish history -- continues to decay.
"Tear it down; make it into a social center or a museum -- I don't care what they do with it," said one of the participants in last year's meeting. "Whatever they decide, they should have done it already."
Music, Solemn and Otherwise
To bring you into that Tisha B'Av mood -- and to lift you out of it -- we can recommend a newly released album available on CD or cassette. In "The Covenant," keyboardist/producer/arranger Wally Brill combines original recordings of the great cantors of the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, lifted from original 78-rpm recordings, with creative vocalizations and new instrumentation. The technique is called sampling, and if it has worked for a generation of great rap artists, why not for a past generation of great cantors.
And it does work. Take the first track, "Kiddush L'Shabbat." As Cantor Ben Zion Kapov-Kagen sings the traditional blessing over the wine, Ari Langer weaves his lyrical violin work around the cantor's voice. The same magic is worked in "Rtzeh," featuring a chilling recording by Cantor Gershon Sirota. And in "A Typical Day," Brill mixes the descriptions of life in Auschwitz by survivor Helen Lazar with a stunning liturgy sung by Cantor Samuel Malavsky.
Using instruments ranging from the Indian tabla to the Australian didgeridoo, Brill has managed to enrich, not cheapen, these great cantorial recordings. We'll be listening to it long after this Tisha B'Av, and the next. "The Covenant" is available at most record stores.

Little Egret
The Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) is a small white heron. It is the Old World counterpart to the very similar New World Snowy Egret.
Depending on authority, two or three subspecies of Little Egret are currently accepted.[2]
- Egretta garzetta garzetta – Europe, Africa, and most of Asia except the southeast
- Egretta garzetta nigripes – Indonesia east to New Guinea
- Egretta garzetta immaculata – Australia and (non-breeding) New Zealand, often considered synonymous with E. g. nigripes
Three other egret taxa have at times been classified as subspecies of the Little Egret in the past but are now regarded as two separate species. These are the Western Reef Heron Egretta gularis which occurs on the coastline of West Africa (Egretta gularis gularis) and from the Red Sea to India (Egretta gularis schistacea), and the Dimorphic Egret Egretta dimorpha, found in East Africa, Madagascar, the Comoros and the Aldabra Islands.[3]
The adult Little Egret is 55–65 cm long with an 88–106 cm wingspan, and weighs 350–550 grams. Its plumage is all white. The subspecies garzetta has long black legs with yellow feet and a slim black bill. In the breeding season, the adult has two long nape plumes and gauzy plumes on the back and breast, and the bare skin between the bill and eyes becomes red or blue. Juveniles are similar to non-breeding adults but have greenish-black legs and duller yellow feet. has yellow feet and a bare patch of grey-green skin between the bill and eyes. The subspecies nigripes differs in having yellow skin between the bill and eye, and blackish feet.
Little Egrets are mostly silent but make various croaking and bubbling calls at their breeding colonies and produce a harsh alarm call when disturbed.
Distribution and conservation
Its breeding distribution is in wetlands in warm temperate to tropical parts of Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. In warmer locations, most birds are permanent residents; northern populations, including many European birds, migrate to Africa and southern Asia. They may also wander north in late summer after the breeding season, which may have assisted its current range expansion. Globally, the Little Egret is not listed as a threatened species.[3]
Status in northwestern Europe
Historical research has shown that the Little Egret was once present, and probably common, in Great Britain, but became extinct there through a combination of over-hunting in the late mediaeval period and climate change at the start of the Little Ice Age. The inclusion of 1,000 egrets (among numerous other birds) in the banquet to celebrate the enthronement of George Neville as Archbishop of York at Cawood Castle in 1465 indicates the presence of a sizable population in northern England at the time, and they are also listed in the coronation feast of King Henry VI in 1429.[4][5] They had disappeared by the mid 16th century, when William Gowreley, 'yeoman purveyor to the Kinges mowthe', "had to send further south" for egrets.[5]
Further declines occurred throughout Europe as the plumes of the Little Egret and other egrets were in demand for decorating hats. They had been used for this purpose since at least the 17th century but in the 19th century it became a major craze and the number of egret skins passing through dealers reached into the millions. Egret farms were set up where the birds could be plucked without being killed but most of the supply was obtained by hunting, which reduced the population of the species to dangerously low levels and stimulated the establishment of Britain's Royal Society for the Protection of Birds in 1889.
By the 1950s, the Little Egret had become restricted to southern Europe, and conservation laws protecting the species were introduced. This allowed the population to rebounded strongly; over the next few decades it became increasingly common in western France and later on the north coast. It bred in the Netherlands in 1979 with further breeding from the 1990s onward.
In Britain it was a rare vagrant from its 16th century disappearance until the late twentieth century, and did not breed. It has however recently become a regular breeding species and is commonly present, often in large numbers, at favoured coastal sites. The first recent breeding record in England was on Brownsea Island in Dorset in 1996, and the species bred in Wales for the first time in 2002.[6] The population increase has been rapid subsequently, with over 750 pairs breeding in nearly 70 colonies in 2008,[7] and a post-breeding total of 4,540 birds in September 2008.[8] In Ireland the species bred for the first time in 1997 at a site in County Cork and the population has also expanded rapidly since, breeding in most Irish counties by 2010.
Status in Australia
In Australia, its status varies from state to state. It is listed as 'Threatened' on the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act (1988).[9] Under this Act, an Action Statement for the recovery and future management of this species has been prepared.[10] On the 2007 advisory list of threatened vertebrate fauna in Victoria, the Little Egret is listed as endangered.[11]
Colonisation of the New World
The Little Egret has now started to colonise the New World. The first record there was on Barbados in April 1954. It began breeding on the island in 1994. Birds are seen with increasing regularity and have occurred from Suriname and Brazil in the south to Newfoundland and Quebec in the north. Birds on the east coast of North America are thought to have moved north with Snowy Egrets from the Caribbean. In June 2011, a little egret was spotted in Maine, in the Scarborough Marsh, near the Audubon Center. <http://www.wmtw.com/news/28400447/detail.html>
The Little Egret nests in colonies, often with other wading birds, usually on platforms of sticks in trees or shrubs or in a reedbed or bamboo grove. In some locations such as the Cape Verde Islands, they nest on cliffs. Pairs defend a small breeding territory, usually extending around 3–4 m from the nest. The three to five eggs are incubated by both adults for 21–25 days to hatching. They are oval in shape and have a pale, non-glossy, blue-green colour. The young birds are covered in white down feathers, are cared for by both parents and fledge after 40 to 45 days.
Little Egrets eat fish, insects, amphibians, crustaceans, and reptiles. They stalk their prey in shallow water, often running with raised wings or shuffling its feet to disturb small fish. They may also stand still and wait to ambush prey.

Lesson Plan
War Horse Extension Activities
- Grades: 6–8
About this book
Based on War Horse
by Michael Morpurgo
Grades: 6-8
About the book
Joey loves his quiet, simple life as a farm horse. His best friend is a boy named Albert. As the Great War begins, Albert's father sells Joey to the Army. Joey then begins a journey that will take him from the farmlands of England though the battlegrounds of Europe. Joey's first duty is in a cavalry division but with new technologies and warfare practices, the armies on both sides begin to use the horses differently. Joey experiences the harsh realities of war just as the soldiers do on the front line. His relationships with the people he meets along the way gives the reader a very realistic view of this war and paints a very human side of this conflict.
Students will gain an understanding of how the war impacted Joey and how Joey influenced the people and animals around him.
Related Activities
To extend students' enjoyment of the book, try these:
Another Point of View: The entire book was written from a horse's point of view. Have students choose one of the human characters from the book. Then, have them create a scene reflective of the story from that character's point of view. Share a few of the students' stories with the class. Suggest that students read another book set from an animal's point of view such as Call of the Wild by Jack London.
Pet Perspective: Have students write about a day in the life of their own household through the eyes of an animal (i.e. dog, cat, mouse, bird, etc.).
Get Graphically Organized: Use this book as a springboard into your unit on World War I by creating a graphic organizer on the main points of the story. As you progress through the unit, refer back to what Joey was experiencing during the war. As you study specific events, discuss whether a horse like Joey would have been around and what his functions would have been.
A New Kind of War: During World War I, many new weapons were used for the first time. Calvary horses like Joey and Tophorn were basically obsolete. Have students prepare a comparison/contrast chart between previously used weapons and fighting techniques of war to the new weapons and fighting techniques of World War I. Include examples mentioned in the book such as machine guns, tanks, and trenches with barb wire. If an extension of this activity is desired, the comparison/contrast chart can be expanded to include new weapons used in World War II. This would require student research.
The Best Listeners: Joey was a great listener. He provided comfort to many people during a terrible time. Have students discuss how animals can be used in this way. Contact an organization that certifies dogs for therapy and assistance. Invite someone who has a therapy dog to visit the classroom and share how dogs assist people.
In the News: Many newspaper articles are written about war. Mostly they are about particular battles or the number of casualties. Have students write a human interest story that could have appeared in the newspaper about one of the following scenes from the book:
- A horse caught in No Man's Land
- A French farmer and his granddaughter's life with their new "war horse"
- A horse's return to its original master
- Subjects:American History, Independent Reading, Literature, Plot, Character, Setting, Reading Response, Journalism, Literature Appreciation, Animals, Narrative Writing, Writing Prompts, Horses, Europe, World War I
- Skills:Literary Elements, Plot, Character and Setting, Point of View, Problem and Solution, Social Studies, Research Skills, Narrative Writing

Florida's most celebrated epicurean event, the Food Network's South Beach Wine and Food Festival, is set to take over Miami from February 20-23 with a diverse and varied field of culinaires, foodie personalities and incredible dining experiences.
Now in its thirteenth running, the four-day festival, hosted by Southern Wine and Spirits and Florida International University, has grown from humble beginnings as the one-day Florida Extravaganza to one of the world's premiere gourmet gatherings. Last year, 294 chefs, cooking personalities, wine and spirits experts, and entertainers brought their talents to South Beach for more than 60 events. The festival reached a new attendance record of 65,000 guests and generated more than $5.1 million in ticket sales and $4.1 million in sponsorship sales. This directly translated to $2.1 million raised for the educational programs at FIU's Chaplin School of Hospitality and Tourism Management.
This year, SOBEWFF is looking to set a new standard for the food industry. Two hundred and sixty-five chefs, vintners, culinary experts, celebrities and foodie television personalities will join forces for 70 events, making this four-day span one of the most dynamic gastro-affairs in Florida. Events run the gamut from expansive beer and wine tastings to invite-only trade shows, while a bevvy of dining-centric soirees will have patrons feted by some of the most influential and inventive food minds in the nation.
Head to page two for some of the highlights of SOBEWFF 2014.

Most Popular Hairstyles
Messy rockabilly men hairstyle
This short men's hairstyle is a study in contrasts. Sides and back are cropped to the scalp, while the top is left overly long and wavy. The style is a modern take on the retro rockabilly hair, but without the slick, plump quiff. Instead, the dishwater-blonde hair on top is styled up in high, messy, spikes, and the natural wave is also allowed to show through. All movement is limited to the top of the head, while the neat sides show clean arches and jawlines.

Eat to Run for Life
Fight back the years with good nutrition
Photo by Duane Raleigh
Though running can be an energizing fountain of youth, no one is impervious to time's steady tick. After age 30, you start to lose muscle mass and bone density begins to decline by 40. Joints gradually become less flexible and more injury-prone. Running, in particular, puts you at risk for injury, and recovery from intense workouts or high mileage takes longer. The good news is that eating enough of the right foods can satisfy your body's changing nutritional needs and keep you healthy and running for life.
Load Up on Antioxidants
All activity, even breathing, subjects your body to damaging "free radicals." These unstable molecules, unavoidable byproducts of oxidation, turn healthy cells into unhealthy ones by stealing their electrons. The resulting cellular damage increases risk and severity of disease, and speeds up the aging process. "Antioxidants, which offer up their own electrons, help repair and rebuild the damage done by free radicals," says Dr. Christine Gerbstadt, a registered dietician (RD) and marathon runner in Sarasota, Florida.
Antioxidants are found in vitamins A, C and E, known as the "powerhouse trio," and are plentiful in fruits (especially berries) and vegetables. Antioxidants are also found in nuts, seeds, whole grains and even tea and coffee. Studies show they dramatically reduce post-workout muscle soreness, which leads to quicker recovery.

ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, on Wednesday finally released its new Catalyst 10.3 driver that enables third-party providers of stereo 3D solutions to output stereoscopic three-dimensional images using ATI Radeon HD graphics cards. While ATI customers will not officially be able to enjoy stereo 3D, the options suggested by the graphics chips designer are not truly flexible.
"AMD has updated its Direct3D (Quad buffer support) driver to enable 3rd party middleware vendors, such as DDD and iZ3D, to output stereo L/R images at 120Hz (60Hz per eye)," a statement from ATI reads.
Even though the move formally allows ATI Radeon HD to support stereo 3D, just like Nvidia GeForce with 3D Vision technology, the solution is less flexible since it generally relies on proprietary technologies. In order to enjoy stereoscopic 3D gaming or to convert 2D movies to stereo 3D formats, users of ATI Radeon HD graphics cards will have to acquire third-party hardware and software.
Stereo 3D solution from DDD requires a special 3D starter pack ($199) that includes two pairs of wireless 3D active shutter glasses, one 3D transmitter, a CD containing the TriDef 3D Experience software for Windows XP/Vista/7 and an activation code for the TriDef 3D Experience. In addition, end-users need to own an output device supported by DDD, the list of which at present is generally limited to various HDTVs as well as one Hyundai P240W 24" display for whopping $2199. Even though the software from DDD automatically converts video games to stereo 3D format, for the best possible experience the company recommends to download special profiles for new games.
iZ3D's stereoscopic solution is relatively well known. It requires a proprietary 22" monitor (1680x1050, 5ms, 60Hz, 700:1) from iZ3D which costs $349 which comes with two pairs of proprietary polarized glasses. In fact, iZ3D also offers to output 3D content for viewing in shutter glasses, but for that end-users will have to pay $49. While the latter option seems to be rather interesting, since iZ3D does not provide a list of compatible 3D glasses and displays, it seems that it is still limited to the company's very own display.
Even though Nvidia Corp.'s 3D Vision stereo 3D technology is not ideal for a number of reasons, necessity to use proprietary 3D active shutter glasses and relatively limited compatibility with output devices are just two of them, it does guarantee acceptable stereo 3D gaming experience verified by the developer of the graphics processors. Meanwhile, AMD's approach not only requires to use proprietary active shutter glasses (along with an HDTV) or even a proprietary combination of a monitor and glasses, but also delegates tailoring of actual games and the quality of end-user experience to a respective third-party company.

If you could sit down for a meal with any cookbook author (other than Dorie, of course, 'cause she'd be on all our lists), who would it be?
*** Edited to add – living or dead. Either one is ok.
Sara Foster of Foster's Market – her books are the perfect blend of fresh ingredients and Southern comfort food.
Paula Deen, I'm sure we would become BFF!
Marcella Hazan. Although I'm a little afraid of her (actually, I'm generally celebrity-phobic).
Julia Child!
Nigella Lawson – she seems to be a delightful person who would have plenty of interesting tales to tell.
I guess this isn't one person. But I'd love to sit down with the editor's of America's Test Kitchen for an afternoon in their test kitchens.
Ina Garten. She makes everything looks so effortless.
Jacques Pepin. He's been a favorite of mine for a long time. He and Dorie are tied in my collection for the highest number of cookbooks I own from a particular author.

Victory! Army to Discharge Monkeys From Lab
|derekkeats | cc by 2.0
In a huge victory for vervet monkeys, U.S. military officials have confirmed that the Army is ending cruel and archaic monthly training exercises at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in which monkeys are poisoned with a drug overdose that makes them suffer from violent seizures in a crude demonstration of the effects of nerve-agent exposure. Instead of abusing terrified monkeys, Aberdeen—the only Army base in the country that uses animals for this training—will now use human patient simulators, just as every other military facility already does. The move follows months of vigorous campaigning by PETA.
PETA's campaign against the barbaric chemical casualty training exercises included a series of protests this week outside the annual meeting of the Association of the United States Army. Supporters of this effort included veterans, physicians, active service members, and actor Woody Harrelson, who sent a letter on PETA's behalf to Army Chief of Staff Ray Odierno. Many others have also been protesting at Army recruitment centers, flooding the offices of Army officials with e-mails and phone calls, and even gathering outside the homes of Army officials affiliated with the monkey lab. One PETA member even disrupted a speaking event last week by Aberdeen's commanding general, Nick Justice.
Please send an e-mail to Maj. Gen. Nick Justice to thank him for this compassionate decision and ask that he ensure that the transition to simulators be made immediately.

- Bechamel (Mornay) Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups whole milk, heated
- Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup grated fontina cheese
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Assembly:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Bechamel Sauce
- 4 fresh sheets pasta, cooked for 2 to 3 minutes in boiling, salted water, drained or 1 pound lasagna noodles (cooked in boiling, salted water until slightly under al dente, about 5 minutes)
- Ricotta mixture
- Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
- Fresh basil leaves
- Bolognese Sauce
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe. For the Bolognese Sauce:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over high heat.
Season the shanks on both sides with salt and pepper, place in the pan and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.
Remove the shanks to a plate. Remove fat from the pan. Add the pancetta to the pan and cook until golden brown. Remove pancetta with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels.
Add the onion, carrots, celery and garlic to the pan and cook until soft and lightly golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the red wine, scrape the bottom of the pan and cook until completely reduced. Add the beef stock, diced tomatoes, thyme, rosemary and parsley and bring to a simmer. Add the shanks and 1/3 of the pancetta back to the pan, cover and transfer to the oven. Cook until the meat is tender and falling off the bone, about 2 hours.
Remove the shanks to a cutting board and when cool enough to handle, shred the meat into bite-size pieces and place in a bowl.
Strain the cooking liquid into a bowl. Place 3 cups of the cooking liquid into a large high-sided saute pan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until the liquid is reduced to about 3/4 cup. Add the shredded meat and the remaining cooked pancetta to the pan along with 1 cup of the tomato sauce, parsley and basil and stir to combine and just heat through.
For the Ricotta Mixture:
Stir together the ricotta, eggs, parsley, basil, cheese and salt and pepper in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
For the Tomato Sauce:
Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat, add the onions and cook until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and red chili flakes and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, bring to boil, season with salt and pepper and cook until the sauce is reduced and thickened, about 25 to 30 minutes. Stir in the parsley and basil.
For the Bechamel (Mornay) Sace:
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and let cook for about 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in 2 cups of the hot milk and continue whisking until the sauce is thickened and loses its raw flavor, about 5 to 7 minutes. Season the sauce with nutmeg, salt and pepper and whisk in the cheeses. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in some of the remaining milk.
For Assembly:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Butter the bottom and sides of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish with the butter. Ladle a thin layer of bechamel evenly over the bottom of the pan. Place a layer of pasta dough, cut to fit the inside of the pan on top of the bechamel and top the pasta with the ricotta mixture and spread evenly. Spread a thin layer of bechamel over the ricotta, sprinkle with a few tablespoons of Parmesan and some basil leaves. Top with another layer of pasta and spread the meat mixture evenly over the top. Ladle an even layer of bechamel over the Bolognese mixture, sprinkle with a few tablespoons of Parmesan and some basil leaves. Place the final layer of pasta dough over the meat mixture and ladle the bechamel over the top to completely cover the pasta and sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of Parmesan.
Place the pan on a baking sheet and cover loosely with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F, remove the foil and continue baking until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling, about 25 to 35 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and let rest 10 minutes before cutting. Cut into slices and top with some of the tomato sauce, more grated cheese and chopped parsley and basil.

Universo Hotel
The historical Republic of Lucca and its province provide a unique venue for the study of the rich yet tumultuous urban and rural life of early modern Italy. And of the military defences of Renaissance and early modern Europe the historical period that witnessed the gunpowder revolution and its attendant developments in defensive architecture/ engineering/ warfare/ and to a large extent culture and daily life. The Florentine novelist/ Guido Piovene/ maintained that Lucca was the only Italian city which is totally enclosed/ ringed about by the high bulwark which it built in the 16th and 17th centuries/ and which still hides it from the eyes of anyone arriving from the surrounding plain. By the early nineteenth-century the starkly forbidding appearance of the walls had been softened by the ring of trees planted atop the massive walls leading poet Gabriele DAnnunzio to celebrate Lucca as the city of the wooded circle. The Hotel Universo is in the very centre of these walls. 46 Comfort rooms/3DeLuxe and 3 Junior Suites and 2 Family rooms equipped with direct dial phone/ mini bar and television. The restaurant/ recently renovated/ offers a very high quality an exquisite cuisine in a quiet and refined environment/ which is the perfect setting for the calm and elegant atmosphere of Hotel universo.

put two cups room temperture water in pot 1/4 teaspoon stevia extract powder 1 packet koolaid for cheap flavoring--we use lemon or cherry 3 tablespoons beef gelatin heat on stove while stirring till just begins to steam to dissolve gelatin take off stove and add 3 more cups cool water ladle into 8 one cup serving dishes sitting on a sheet pan to catch any spilled wipe bottoms across a paper towel and put on a shelf in fridge to gel. Only takes a few minutes. You can sub most fruit juices for water and koolaid. We prefer the koolaid as we go through 2 batches a day. We prefer the lemon and cherry koolaid flavorings as they are two of the flavors lowest in sodium --we prefer wide mouth one cup canning jars to desert dishes and bowls (you can top with whip cream and put the lid on and take with you and the straight sides of the jars make it easier to put in fridge without spilling)

How to find the best medical info on the web.
Bothered by a lump, a nagging pain or mysterious lump? Chances are, a diagnosis is just a click away. From symptom checkers to illness-specific forums, tons of health information is now available on the web�and a 2012 Pew study found that 93 million Americans have looked there. But can Dr. Google be trusted? �Searching online for symptoms and diagnoses can become a very dangerous, frustrating and confusing process,� says Dr. Harlan Weinberg, author of Dr. Weinberg�s Guide to the Best Resources on the Web. �That�s why it�s important to develop a discerning eye for evaluating health websites.� One of the biggest pitfalls of self-diagnosing via the web is that�it can create undue medical anxiety, or �cyberchondria,� if you�discover, for example, that your twitching eyelid could be a sign of�Parkinson�s disease (only in very, very rare cases). �You research�symptoms and learn about a particular disease and immediately imagine a worst-case scenario,� says Dr. Carolyn Clancy, director of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). But when used wisely, the Internet can be an incredibly potent�tool, empowering you to be champion of your own healthcare. �More responsibility is shifting to the patients, and I think doctors�welcome this,� Clancy says. �At the end of the day, physicians� jobs are so much easier when they are dealing with patients who are�informed and who want to be involved in their own healthcare.� RELATED: Online Doctor Consultations�Are They For You? Nearly anyone can claim to be a health expert on the Internet,�Weinberg warns. So how can you sort out the good, the bad and the�quacks online? Dixie A. Jones, president of the Medical Library Association, offers these guidelines on what to watch for when browsing health-related sites. Current dates: �The health website should be frequently up- dated and should indicate the date of the latest revision,� Jones says. Look for these dates at the bottom of the home page. The site�s owner: Any dependable health website should make it easy to recognize who is funding the website and its content�if�it�s hard to find, that�s a red flag. Look for web addresses that end in .gov, .edu or .org, which indicates government, educational or professional organizations rather than commercial sites. You can typically find details about owner- ship on a site�s �About Us� page. Possible bias: It�s important to recognize who is sponsoring the site�and what their intent is. �Is a particular product being promoted? Does the site sell that product? Or is the information provided by a publicly funded, non-com- mercial site such as a government agency or research hospital?� Jones says. Detailed facts and resources:��The information provided on the web- site should be from a credible source, such as a medical association, an ac- credited educational institution, a professional journal with an editorial board or a government agency. Look at other sites on the same topic to see if the in- formation is confirmed elsewhere,� says Jones. Be skeptical of testimonials from untraceable sources, or overly technical jargon on a site directed at consumers. Measured language: If the site makes claims that sound too good to be true, they probably are. Other bad signs: a promise of quick or miraculous results, or sensational, over-the-top writing. Privacy protection: Health information should be confidential. Look for a Privacy Policy link near the top or bottom of the homepage. Steer clear if the policy says something along the lines of, �We share information with companies that can provide you with useful products.� Although the Internet can be a valuable tool for accessing health resources, if you truly suspect something is off, your best bet is to consult a living, breathing doctor. �There are certain discussions that have to occur in person,� Weinberg says. �No computer can substitute for that.� Best Health Sites: On his own website, Knowledgeofmedicine.com, Dr. Harlan Weinberg maintains a comprehensive list of credible health websites. Here are some of his top picks: Heart Health Cardiosmart.org, American College of Cardiology Hearthealthywomen.org, Heart Healthy Women Coalition Strokecenter.org, The Internet Stroke Center, Washington University Respiratory Health Patients.thoracic.org, American Thoracic Society Onebreath.org, American College of Chest Physicians Lung.org, American Lung Association Diabetes Diabetes.org, American Diabetes Association Ndep.nih.gov, National Diabetes Education Program Joslin.org, Joslin Diabetes Center Women's Health Mchlibrary.info, The Maternal & Child Health Library, Georgetown University 4collegewomen.org, Brandeis University Womenshealth.gov and Girlshealth.gov, Department of Health & Human Services Brought to you by: Spry Living

BERLIN -- Former Olympic shot put champion Udo Beyer has admitted doping, saying in a documentary that it was his personal decision and that, still, he won the gold medal in 1976 in Montreal because he was "the best" and not because he doped.
Beyer competed for East Germany, which had a systematic doping program for its top athletes, many of whom have said they were not aware they were being given performance-enhancing substances.
Speaking in the film "The Lone Wolf" shown at the Berlin Film Festival this week, Beyer said he knew what was happening.

Help for Clam Bayou hasn't dried up
Money, through a grant and a group, will trickle into the preserve so trash won't.
By NICK JOHNSON, Times Staff Wires
Published September 2, 2007
Volunteer cleanups will continue in Clam Bayou Nature Preserve, thanks to a grant from the Southwest Florida Water Management District and a new nonprofit group.
The cleanups began when Kurt Zuelsdorf, who runs a kayak nature tour business, began offering free kayak rentals in return for picking up a bag of garbage in the heavily polluted bayou.
An initial grant from the water management district, commonly know as Swiftmud, helped Zuelsdorf pay for the rental time, but the money quickly ran out as the program was growing in popularity.
He soon found himself trying to manage more than 400 volunteers, dubbed the Green Machine, while searching for private sponsors.
That's when Michelle and Greg McIntosh, two of Zuelsdorf's Green Machine volunteers, decided to lend a hand.
"They've been looking for something to sink their teeth into for a long time, and after they came out to volunteer for my cleanup program everything just clicked into place," Zuelsdorf said.
The McIntoshes started the nonprofit Nature Matters to help fund the cleanups. The entity is awaiting tax-exempt status.
"It doesn't seem like anyone is truly accountable for the waterways, so we're taking it upon ourselves to do so," Michelle McIntosh said.
Formation of the nonprofit group will make it easier to apply for grants to fund the cleanups because the money will no longer be tied directly to Kayak Nature Adventures, Zuelsdorf's tour business.
"We'll be able to better organize our cleanups and keep better track of my members," Zuelsdorf said of his volunteers, whom he is encouraging to register with the new organization.
Meanwhile, he has received another Swiftmud grant of about $5,000 that he says will fund three bayou cleanups a month until December.
Once Nature Matters is fully established, it will be able to take over funding the cleanups that may eventually branch out into other waterways.
"I certainly don't love picking up trash, but I love to see the effects it has on nature," Michelle McIntosh said. "If we don't do it, no one will."
The organization's Web site is www.naturematters.us.

Gloria Estefan was once asked to spy for the CIA. The singer admitted that she considered it.
While working as a translator at the Miami airport, Estefan, who was born in Cuba, was reportedly approached because of her language skills. She had the ability to speak French, English, and Spanish and self-reported ability to "pass as a regular person without raising an eyebrow." A skill she currently lacks, due to her later rise to fame. Although, she admits that being a singer would have been a great cover for a spy. This is a good instinct what with new technology that could potentially put cameras and voice recorders in headsets. A singer wouldn't cause suspicion with a microphone. What about those new trendy sunglasses stars are so mad about? A small recorder fits nicely in each. …Read More →

Special Chieftain Editorial: Keep hands off PEDCO money
This morning we are taking the rare action of placing an editorial on the front page of the Sunday Chieftain.
The Pueblo City Council has acted irresponsibly and illegally by discussing in secret session the notion of changing how the half-cent sales tax for economic development can be spent.
Since the voters first approved the tax in 1984, the revenue has been dedicated to bringing in primary jobs, utilizing recruiting efforts by the Pueblo Economic Development Corp.
Now City Council has been meeting secretly to try to convince the voting public to take a big bite — perhaps half — out of the job creation fund, currently about $40 million. Council members have shown a lack of understanding for the history and reason behind the formation of PEDCO more than 30 years ago. They lack the vision of what it will take to compete with other markets for jobs in the future.
Councilman Chris Kaufman and Council President Sandy Daff and other council members leading the raid on job creation funds have shirked their responsibility to the people they represent. In trying to divert a portion of these designated funds for projects such as street paving, they behave like the pork-barrel spenders in Washington, D.C. Just like self-serving congressional members, their short-term thinking could directly affect our ability to attract future jobs to Pueblo.
Here's a history lesson: Prior to PEDCO, an organization called the Pueblo Development Commission was headquartered in City Hall. In 11 years, PDC was credited with spending money on several studies, printing booklets and handing out awards to local business leaders, but it produced not one single job.
It was clear that a new approach was needed.
With strong support and guidance from then-Gov. Richard Lamm and his economic development representative, Bill Hacker, the plan for PEDCO was launched. Other names you should recognize and recall as involved in the effort included prominent Pueblo business and community leaders Bob Jackson, Bob Johnston and Mahlon White.
The first PEDCO board included a who's who of Pueblo business and community titans, including Dave Cardinal, Walt Bassett, Paul Clarkin, Jim Carter, Eldon Engle, Tom Farley, Paul Jones, Don Luster, Harold Mabie, Sam Falsetto and Lyle Wilcox. There also were two members of local government on the board.
Those individuals and others led the effort, but it was Pueblo voters who courageously decided then and several times since to tax themselves to establish a special fund which only could be used to attract primary jobs to Pueblo.
PEDCO played a huge role in saving Pueblo from an unemployment rate that neared 20 percent in the 1980s. From the beginning, PEDCO has been successful in attracting jobs to our community, and spreading the news nationwide and even worldwide that Pueblo is open for business.
And every citizen, by virtue of paying the half-cent sales tax, has played a key role in PEDCO's success.
We all have worked too hard in building this promise of a bright future to allow this behind-the-scenes City Council's proposed raid to continue.
It was a slap in Pueblo's face for our elected representatives to meet behind closed doors — and without public notice in advance — on this very public matter and we feel confident you, the voters, will hold them responsible if the council has the audacity to ask you for permission to raid the primary job creation fund.
City Council members need to keep their mitts off the half-cent fund because it affects our future. Leave the PEDCO money alone!

A man in his 50s died last weekend from complications that included the flu, the city's director of health said Monday night.
Dr. Christine Nevin-Woods, contacted at home, said she was not sure where the man, who had underlying medical conditions, died, either at Parkview or St. Mary-Corwin medical centers.
"He would not have died if he did not have the flu," said Nevin-Woods. "Almost everyone who has been in the hospital with the flu has underlying conditions and most have not been vaccinated."
Also Monday, public health officials confirmed an increase of flu-like illness in the Pueblo County jail.
Sheriff Kirk Taylor contacted the Pueblo City-County Health Department and the department confirmed the increase in cases at the jail, said Nevin-Woods.
"The Pueblo County Sheriff's Office is working closely with the health department to minimize the spread of this illness in the jail," she said.
Part of the intake process for new prisoners is to offer a flu shot, Taylor said Monday night. "But we can't make people take the shot.
"There's a few cases, and we wanted to get out in front of it, because we're in such close confines," he said. "We have one confirmed with the flu, but there are people who are sick. Every inmate and staffer is eligible to get a shot.
"We don't have a whole lot of room to segregate sick people," Taylor said. "Over 50 people get booked in and released from this facility every day; it is inevitable illnesses outside the building make it inside."
The increase in flu-like illness in the jail mirrors the increase in Pueblo and throughout Colorado according to the health department. To date, Pueblo has had 38 hospitalized cases of influenza. Most hospital cases have underlying conditions, such as chronic lung disease, diabetes and those whose bodies cannot fight disease and are most vulnerable when not vaccinated.
"The hospitalized cases of flu represent the tip of the iceberg as to how many actual flu cases are currently in Pueblo," noted Nevin-Woods. "The age distribution of people getting ill in Pueblo is younger than most years as 24-64 year olds are the majority of the individuals being hospitalized."

The Top 10 Chinoiserie Pieces
Interior designers Katie Ridder and Thomas Jayne applaud a style that has been adding charm and exotic flair to homes for centuries
In the 17th and 18th centuries, as tourists and traders ventured eastward, a fascination with all things Asian swept Europe. Inspired by travelers' sketchbooks and imported porcelain and lacquerware, designers layered their furniture, interiors, and ceramics with fantastical Chinese imagery, resulting in the perennially popular style called chinoiserie.
Now as then, an exotic accent achieves the same desired effect: "Chinoiserie brings worldly sophistication to a space," says decorator Katie Ridder. Her own projects sparkle with examples, from colorful fret-back chairs (styled after bamboo) to japanned furniture (Europe's take on Asian lacquer).
Designer Thomas Jayne points out that chinoiserie introduced new shapes and palettes to Western decor. "So many styles, from Chippendale to Danish modern"—Hans Wegner's Wishbone chair, for example—"owe a debt to Asia," he says. "The materials may change over the years, but the style continues to have appeal centuries later."

Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my!Posted Tuesday, June 3, 2008, at 9:03 PM
Life became just a little more interesting in Advance and Arbor Monday, when this black bear took a notion to climb a cypress tree about half-way between the two towns. The bear furnished everyone in a three-county radius with an entire day's entertainment, until nightfall, when he was allowed to climb down unseen and disappear into what I hope was an remote area to the north. (Bollinger County sounds like a nice place for a cute little "bear cub..")
It started, as it often does, with a phone call from my "contact" in the sporting world.
"Grab your camera! There's a bear in a tree outside Advance!" he said. How does he always manage to show up right behind me, as I'm driving through Advance? Does he have ESP or what?
Out we sped east on Highway 25 about four miles to a large tree standing right beside the highway, where the gravel cuts off south to the Langco plant. I couldn't miss it, since there were cars and trucks lining the highway, as if we were in the middle of the 100-Mile Yardsale again.
People were standing under a big cypress tree, necks craned, cameras clicking - and there he was, sure enough, looking down at us and yawning sleepily - a big, black bear. He didn't seem excited; in fact, he seemed a bit bored.
I was relieved to see an agent from the Missouri Department of Conservation there, since I had visions of some redneck taking target practice in the trees.
"There were about 60 people standing around the tree when I got here," said the officer. "I almost had a heart attack! I told them to stand back and scatter out, and if the bear started to come down, they needed to run for their cars as fast as they could!" Great, my car was parked up on the highway with all the other dopes, and I'd have had to climb a steep embankment to get to it. I eyed the agent's truck and measured the distance...
One man, who had been driving by when the bear ran across the highway, said it was moving FAST. It came from the north along Highway NN and crossed Gerald and Shirley Owens' land, which faces Highway 25. Everyone said that Gerald was the first one to see it. It must have been frightened by the traffic.
By the time I had taken about a dozen pictures from various angles, another Department of Conservation truck had pulled up with another officer. Eventually, there were four conservation agents and the KFVS camera crew and reporter.
My friend Emma (another goat herder) told me last night that when she and her husband went by the suddenly-famous tree about three p.m., there were two highway patrol cars and a sheriff on the site, along with all the neck-craning crowd. There must have been a long line of cars, because she thought they'd gotten caught in a funeral procession.
Anyway, Officer Ken West explained that the bear was a young male, probably about 1-2 years old. He said that most of the time these young males are chased off by their mothers, who are ready to have another cub.
According to West, most of the department's bear calls come from 4 counties - Bollinger, Wayne, Madison, and Iron. This bear had no business in Scott or Stoddard.
"We'll just wait here until everyone leaves," the officer said, reassuringly. "He'll probably come down when it gets dark. The best thing to do is let them be, unless they're causing property damage."
West explained that they had an incident in Poplar Bluff some time back, when a black bear was in a tree downtown. They shot him with rubber bullets, and it just made him mad. I guess they wanted to keep this guy calm.
My friend Emma said that she and her husband came back by the location at six on their way back from Cape, and there were no observers out there. That must have been when the bear shimmied down and headed out. I'm amazed that someone didn't camp out to watch all night.
That's all I know....except for the usual craziness that crops up afterwards. Someone came into the newspaper office in Advance today and tried to tell me that a local farmer in the region was "missing six cows." However, I haven't found anyone who even knows this supposed farmer. The complainant wants the bear relocated, since she lives on the next farm over. She's really ticked off at the Conservation Dep't. (Does that sound familiar?)
I'd be willing to bet that a black bear's range is extensive - probably as much so as the feral yellow labs (recognized by locals in our area as "cougars"). Unlike cougars, however, the black bears seem to be acknowledged by the Missouri Department of Conservation... Of course, it's a little hard to deny their existance, when one is half-way up a cypress tree, staring down at you.
I didn't hear anyone asking, "Are you sure it wasn't a black lab?"
From the dark and scarey hills of Tillman (about five miles from the bear tree)....this is your wary rural reporter Madeline signing off...

Hey Ms. Dejournett
I saw your article in the Southeast Missourian today. As one of your former students (MR - 85) it was interesting and refreshing to see your story. I have occupied my night looking up your old blogs. Love your writing style and sense of humor. Especially about the labs and conservation department. If you look at old news reports they were denying bears and armadillos in Missouri quite frequently as well. I have the paper in my favorites now and will check up on your blogs regularly. Just don't check/critique my spelling and grammar if I comment.

Madeline Dejournett's response:If you're who I think you are, I doubt that I'll find much wrong with your spelling and grammar! Thanks for posting; it's good to hear from you kids. One of your classmates posted last year & brought back such pleasant memories!
We had a hilarious time with the yellow lab/cougar/conservation dep't blog! I'm glad the whole ridiculous conversation is still out there on the archives. I hope to one day lure Yellow Rose of Essex back on the blogs...
My dogs are absolutely worn out from patroling the goat pen and fending off the feral black labs all night!
-- Posted by goat lady on Wed, Jun 4, 2008, at 9:30 AM
Goat Lady and MD, you'd better be on the watch,, this black bear may develop a taste for 'goats'......and I've been seeing Armadillo's for years on the roads feet up in the air as if to say 'Why me Lord'.....they shoulda stayed in Texas.
-- Posted by changedname on Thu, Jun 5, 2008, at 11:53 AM
Good one, dexterite.
I heard on the news the other day that one reason armadillos are killed so often on the road is that when a car scares them they jump straight up, thus jumping right into the car rather than hunkering down and letting it go over them.
Another reason may be that they're just not the sharpest tool in the toolbox.
Now that black bear.... Can you imagine the story he would tell his relatives about all those people stopping to see him? It must have looked a lot like the "bear-jams" at Yellowstone.
-- Posted by Ducky on Thu, Jun 5, 2008, at 1:22 PM
Are you sure it wasn't a black lab? Hey, I had to be the first one to ask! lol!
Seriously, this has got to be one of the best stories yet in this area! I'm emailing it to some of my friends and relatives out of state.

The shame is that black bears aren't seen in trees every day. There is something sad that it is such a rare occurrence that people stand around gawking like tourists at Disneyland. It reminds me of many moons ago when I lived north of Los Angeles near a place called Placerita Canyon. For some weird reason PC is a large oasis of dense trees and wildlife with a large fast moving artesian spring running through it. Surrounding PC is the brown Southern California desert. PC has a visitors center staffed by volunteers that are mostly retired people. Since it reminded me of greener climes, I went hiking in PC fairly often on weekends. I was talking one day with one of the volunteers who told me that during the week they had a lot of field trips of school kids from Los Angeles. She said that many of these kids were in total wonderment because they had never been out of the city and seen any kind of natural "wilderness." To emphasize the point she said that once when she was serving as the field guide for school kids from Compton (At that time you didn't dare drive through Compton unless you were in an armored car -- or in any vehicle after dark.), a squirrel ran across the trail in front of the kids. One of the boys exclaimed, "Look, it is out of its cage!" These kids had only seen animals at the zoo. They were unaware that putting animals in zoos is unnatural, while them running free is normal. The norm should be to see black bears climbing trees and being a regular part of life -- not for it to be a special event when they make an appearance.
-- Posted by FJGuy on Thu, Jun 5, 2008, at 8:19 PM
Several people said that they had never seen a bear before - not even in a zoo. I heard one man say he'd been to Wyoming and Colorado and had never seen a bear; he couldn't believe he was seeing one that close to home!
I'm not missing any goats.....yet!
Can't you see a black lab up in a tree?? Even the MDC agents couldn't explain that!
-- Posted by goat lady on Thu, Jun 5, 2008, at 10:11 PM
Madeline Dejournett's response:I heard some interesting new information on the wildlife issue in this area yesterday: A friend who lives between Advance and Zalma told me that the recent floods wiped out a large part of the armadillo population. When the flood waters went down, they found dozens of the creatures lying dead. They were still hibernating (or hiding?) in their dens, and they obviously drowned.
If I can find enough information, I'd like to do a story for the NSC on it.
Poor little creatures - this makes a second unfortunate defense mechanism for them! They are known to leap straight up when frightened - which causes them to jump right into the cars that are driving over them - and now this tendancy to hide, and/or sleep in holes!
I once had a student teacher from the St. Louis area, and he had never seen a pig.
-- Posted by goat lady on Sat, Jun 7, 2008, at 9:37 PM
Yellow Rose!!! Where are you? We now have feral black labs running rampant in SE MO along with the yellow labs. We need your quick wit.
-- Posted by Ducky on Mon, Jun 9, 2008, at 1:36 PM
I tell ya, she's been kidnapped by her hairy-eyeballed boss, who's holding her for ransom! C'mon, bloggers, dig down into yer pockets & come up with some cash to bail 'er out!
Chained to her desk, no doubt...
-- Posted by goat lady on Mon, Jun 9, 2008, at 10:19 PM
This morning I've realized that both Yellow Rose and Minnie O'Pausal are missing in action!
Could there be a connection? Could some sinister blogger have kidnapped BOTH of them?? Let's see, who could they have offended???
Yellow Rose said some pretty sharp things about the Conservation Department, and they certainly have the means to put her to silence...but Minnie seems singularly innocent of any malice. She mostly made fun of herself! Perhaps secret agents of AARP took offense at her age-ridiculing comments!
-- Posted by goat lady on Tue, Jun 10, 2008, at 6:42 AM
Maybe it was the Grey Panthers, the more militant arm of the AARP.

The impact of gestational weight loss on maternal and neonatal outcomes
- College of Nursing, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA
- Correspondence to Deborah K Steward
College of Nursing, The Ohio State University, 1585 Neil Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210, USA; dsteward{at}con.ohio-state.edu
Implications for nursing practice and research
The results of this study suggest there is a need to:
■ Monitor women's prepregnant body mass index (BMI).
■ Educate pregnant women about the importance of appropriate weight gain.
■ Prospective studies are needed to identify those factors that impact on gestational weight gain.
■ Longitudinal studies are needed to follow the developmental trajectories of children born to mothers who experience gestational weight loss.
There is a need to define what constitutes adequate weight gain during pregnancy. Paramount to this discussion is the effect of weight gain or loss not only on maternal health but also on the child's short- and long-term health. This is particularly important because …

Kohli casts doubt over fifth ODI
India's Virat Kohli has cast doubt over whether the fifth one-day international in Dharamsala against England will take place.
- Related Content
The Himalayan hill station, which sits almost 1,500 metres above sea level, has never before hosted an international match but was approved to do so on January 27 despite being deep in the winter season.
This month has already seen significant snowfall in Dharamsala, while weather forecasts suggest the match could be due to start in temperatures at, or just below, freezing point.
Runway restrictions at the nearby airport in Gaggal mean some support staff and kit bags from each team will have to travel by road, which could also prove challenging.
Yet rumours the fixture would be reallocated have come to nothing and the England and Wales Cricket Board have not been told to make any contingencies.
But Kohli admits the Indian players are not convinced a match will be possible.
As such, he has told his side, who are 2-1 up, to clinch the series in the fourth ODI at Mohali on Wednesday and not rely on Dharamsala.
"It's not certain we are going to have a game in Dharamsala," he admitted.
"We are all aware (of the weather problems) so this game becomes all the more important. It makes the game really, really important.
"We have to step up tomorrow.
"We will treat the game like it it is the last in the series, we have to. But when you lose the first game in a series, that is how you go into every game."
India look likely to field a settled side, after back-to-back victories with the same XI.
Only Ajinkya Rahane is in serious danger of losing his place as opener, with Cheteshwar Pujara waiting in the wings.
But Rahane was man of the match when India defeated England at the same venue in 2011, scoring a career-best 91, and could be given another chance.

text: Baseball Team Picked Second In Coaches' Preseason PollIf the MIAC coaches are correct, Saturday's conference opener doubleheader against St. Thomas is a matchup of the top two teams in the league. The Pipers, currently 8-10 overall, drew the second highest numbers of votes in the coaches poll that was released March 27. The Pipers drew one first place vote and 77 points overall, trailing only the Tommies, who garnered 87 points and eight first place votes. The teams square off to open league play this Saturday at the Metrodome. Game time for the doubleheader is 7:00 p.m. A year ago, the Pipers won four of five head-to-head matchups with their St. Paul neighbors. The last of those wins came on May 15 and allowed the Pipers claim the MIAC playoff crown and earn an automatic bid to their first-ever NCAA Division III tournament. The Pipers won once in their regional, finishing with a school record 29 victories. The Tommies also went as an at-large opponent. In the coaches' poll, Hamline was placed second just ahead of St. John's. The top four teams make it to the MIAC playoffs May 11-13 in Minnetonka, Minn.
