Seahorses are mainly found in shallow tropical and temperate waters throughout the world, and prefer to live in sheltered areas such as seagrass beds, estuaries, coral reefs, or mangroves. In Pacific waters from North America to South America there are four species. In the Atlantic, the H. erectus ranges from Nova Scotia to Uruguay. H. zosterae, known as the dwarf seahorse, is found in the Bahamas.
Colonies have been found in European waters such as the Thames Estuary.[3]
Three species live in the Mediterranean Sea: H. guttulatus (the long-snouted seahorse), H. hippocampus (the short-snouted seahorse) and H. fuscus (the sea pony). These species form territories; males stay within 1 square meter (11 sq ft) of their habitat while females range about one hundred times that.
Physical description[edit]
Seahorses range in size from 1.5 to 35.5 cm (0.6 to 14.0 in).[4] They are named for their equine appearance. Although they are bony fish, they do not have scales but rather thin skin stretched over a series of bony plates, which are arranged in rings throughout their body. Each species has a distinct number of rings. Seahorses swim upright, another characteristic that is not shared by their close pipefish relatives, who swim horizontally. Razorfish are the only other fish that swim vertically like a seahorse. Unusual among fish, seahorses have a flexible, well-defined neck. They also sport a coronet on the head, which is distinct for each individual.
Seahorses swim very poorly, rapidly fluttering a dorsal fin and using pectoral fins (located behind their eyes) to steer. The slowest-moving fish in the world is H. zosterae (the dwarf seahorse), with a top speed of about 1.5 metres (5 ft) per hour.[5] Seahorses have no caudal fin. Since they are poor swimmers, they are most likely to be found resting with their prehensile tails wound around a stationary object. They have long snouts, which they use to suck up food, and eyes that can move independently of each other (like those of a chameleon).
Evolution and fossil record[edit]
Anatomical evidence, supported by molecular, physical, and genetic evidence, demonstrates that seahorses are highly modified pipefish. The fossil record of seahorses, however, is very sparse. The best known and best studied fossils are specimens of H. guttulatus (though literature more commonly refers to them under the synonym of H. ramulosus), from the Marecchia River Formation of Rimini Province, Italy, dating back to the Lower Pliocene, about 3 million years ago. The earliest known seahorse fossils are of two pipefish-like species, H. sarmaticus and H. slovenicus from the coprolitic horizon of Tunjice Hills, a middle Miocene lagerstätte in Slovenia dating back about 13 million years.[6] Molecular dating finds that pipefish and seahorses diverged during the Late Oligocene. This has led to speculation that seahorses evolved in response to large areas of shallow water, newly created as the result of tectonic events. The shallow water would have allowed the expansion of seagrass habitats that selected for the camouflage offered by the seahorses' upright posture.[7] These tectonic changes occurred in the Western Pacific Ocean, pointing to an origin there, with molecular data suggesting two later, separate invasions of the Atlantic Ocean.[8]
The male seahorse is equipped with a brood pouch on the ventral, or front-facing, side of the tail. When mating, the female seahorse deposits up to 1,500 eggs in the male's pouch. The male carries the eggs for 9 to 45 days until the seahorses emerge fully developed, but very small. Once the seahorses are released into the water, the male's role is done and he offers no further care and often mates again within hours or days during the breeding season.[9]
Before breeding, seahorses may court for several days. Scientists believe the courtship behavior synchronizes the animals' movements as well as reproductive state so that the male can receive the eggs when the female is ready to deposit them. During this time they may change color, swim side by side holding tails or grip the same strand of sea grass with their tails and wheel around in unison in what is known as a "pre-dawn dance". They eventually engage in a "true courtship dance" lasting about 8 hours, during which the male pumps water through the egg pouch on his trunk which expands and opens to display its emptiness. When the female's eggs reach maturity, she and her mate let go of any anchors and snout-to-snout, drift upward out of the seagrass, often spiraling as they rise. The female inserts her ovipositor into the male's brood pouch and deposits dozens to thousands of eggs. As the female releases her eggs, her body slims while his swells. Both animals then sink back into the seagrass and she swims away.
The male releases his sperm directly into seawater where it fertilizes the eggs,[10] which are then embedded in the pouch wall and become surrounded by a spongy tissue.[11] The male supplies the eggs with prolactin, the same hormone responsible for milk production in pregnant mammals. The pouch provides oxygen as well as a controlled environment incubator. The eggs then hatch in the pouch where the salinity of the water is regulated; this prepares the newborns for life in the sea.[12][13] Throughout gestation, which in most species requires two to four weeks, his mate visits him daily for "morning greetings". They interact for about 6 minutes, reminiscent of courtship. The female then swims away until the next morning, and the male returns to sucking up food through his snout.[12]
Research published in 2007 indicates the male releases sperm into the surrounding sea water during fertilization, and not directly into the pouch as previously thought.[14]
The number of young released by the male seahorse averages 100–1000 for most species, but may be as low as 5 for the smaller species, or as high as 2,500. When the fry are ready to be born, the male expels them with muscular contractions. He typically gives birth at night and is ready for the next batch of eggs by morning when his mate returns. Like almost all other fish species, seahorses do not nurture their young after birth. Infants are susceptible to predators or ocean currents which wash them away from feeding grounds or into temperatures too extreme for their delicate bodies. Less than 0.5% of infants survive to adulthood, explaining why litters are so large. These survival rates are actually fairly high compared to other fish, because of their protected gestation, making the process worth the great cost to the father. The eggs of most other fish are abandoned immediately after fertilization.[13]
Questions surrounding reproductive roles[edit]
Reproduction is energetically costly to the male. This brings into question why the sexual role reversal even takes place. In an environment where one partner incurs more energy costs than the other, Bateman's principle suggests that the lesser contributor takes the role of the aggressor. Male seahorses are more aggressive and sometimes "fight" for female attention. According to Amanda Vincent of Project Seahorse, only males tail-wrestle and snap their heads at each other. This discovery prompted further study of energy costs. To estimate the female's direct contribution, researcher Heather D. Masonjones, associate professor of biology at the University of Tampa, chemically analyzed the energy stored in each egg. To measure the burden on the male, Masonjones measured its oxygen consumption. By the end of incubation, the male consumed almost 33% more oxygen than before mating. The study concluded that the female's energy expenditure while generating eggs is twice that of males during incubation[12] confirming the standard hypothesis.
Why the male seahorse (and other members of Syngnathidae) carries the offspring through gestation is unknown, though some researchers [15] believe it allows for shorter birthing intervals, in turn resulting in more offspring. Given an unlimited number of ready and willing partners, males have the potential to produce 17 percent more offspring than females in a breeding season. Also, females have "time-outs" from the reproductive cycle that are 1.2 times longer than those of males. This seems to be based on mate choice, rather than physiology. When the female's eggs are ready, she must lay them in a few hours or eject them into the water column. Making eggs is a huge cost to her physically, since they amount to about a third of her body weight. To protect against losing a clutch, the female demands a long courtship. The daily greetings help to cement the bond between the pair.[16]
One common misconception about seahorses is that they mate for life. Many species of seahorses form pair bonds that last through at least the breeding season. Some species show a higher level of mate fidelity than others.[17][18] However, many species readily switch mates when the opportunity arises. H. abdominalis and H. breviceps have been shown to breed in groups, showing no continuous mate preference. Many more species mating habits have not been studied, so it is unknown how many species are actually monogamous, or how long those bonds actually last.[19]
Although monogamy within fish is not common, it does appear to exist for some. In this case, the mate guarding hypothesis may be an explanation. This hypothesis states "males remain with a single female because of ecological factors that make male parental care and protection of offspring especially advantageous."[20] Because the rates of survival for newborn seahorses are so low, incubation is essential. Though not proven, males could have taken on this role because of the lengthy period the females require to produce their eggs. If males incubate while females prepare the next clutch (amounting to 1/3 of body weight), they can reduce the interval between clutches.
Feeding habits[edit]
Seahorses feed on small crustaceans floating in the water or crawling on the bottom. With excellent camouflage and a lot of patience, seahorses ambush prey that float within striking range. Mysid shrimp and other small crustaceans are favorites, but some seahorses have been observed eating other kinds of invertebrates and even larval fish. While feeding, they produce a distinctive click each time a food item is ingested. The same clicks are heard with social interactions. In a study of seahorses, it was determined that the distinctive head shape gives rise to a space that is met with minimal interference. Therefore, the seahorse has the ability to come within a very close range of copepods, which they prey on.[21]
Threats of extinction[edit]
Because data is lacking on the sizes of the various seahorse populations, as well as other issues including how many seahorses are dying each year, how many are being born, and the number used for souvenirs, there is insufficient information to assess their risk of extinction, and the risk of losing more seahorses remains a concern. Some species, such as the Paradoxical Seahorse, H. paradoxus[22], may already be extinct. Coral reefs and seagrass beds are deteriorating, reducing viable habitats for seahorses.[23]
While many aquarium hobbyists keep seahorses as pets, seahorses collected from the wild tend to fare poorly in home aquaria. Many eat only live foods such as brine shrimp and are prone to stress, which damages their immune systems and makes them susceptible to disease.
In recent years, however, captive breeding has become more popular. Such seahorses survive better in captivity, and are less likely to carry diseases. They eat frozen mysidacea (crustaceans) that are readily available from aquarium stores,[24] and do not experience the stress of moving out of the wild. Although captive-bred seahorses are more expensive, they take no toll on wild populations.
Seahorses should be kept in an aquarium with low flow and placid tank mates. Seahorses are slow feeders, so fast, aggressive feeders will leave them without food.[24]
Seahorses can co-exist with many species of shrimp and other bottom-feeding creatures. Gobies also make good tank-mates. Keepers are generally advised to avoid eels, tangs, triggerfish, squid, octopus, and sea anemones.[25]
Water quality is very important for the survival of seahorses in an aquarium. Seahorses are delicate species which should not be added to a new tank. The water parameters are recommended to be as follows although these fish may acclimatise to different water over time: Temperature: 23-28 °C pH: 8.1-8.4 Ammonia: 0 mg/l (0.01 mg/l may be tolerated for short periods) Nitrite: 0 mg/l (0.125 mg/l may be tolerated for short periods) S.G.: 1.021-1.024 at 22-24 °C A water quality problem will affect fish behaviour and can be shown by clamped fins, reduced feeding, erratic swimming and gasping at the surface [26]
Seahorses swim up and down as well as utilising the length of the aquarium. Therefore, the tanks should ideally be twice as deep as the length of the adult seahorse.
Animals sold as "freshwater seahorses" are usually the closely related pipefish, of which a few species live in the lower reaches of rivers. The supposed true "freshwater seahorse" called H. aimei is not a valid species, but a synonym sometimes used for Barbour's and Hedgehog seahorses. The latter, which is often confused with the former, is a species that can be found in estuarine environments, but is not actually a freshwater fish.[27]
Use in Chinese herbology[edit]
Seahorse populations are thought to be endangered as a result of overfishing and habitat destruction. Despite a lack of scientific studies or clinical trial,[28][29] the consumption of seahorses for medicinal purposes is widespread in China, where they are used in Chinese herbology primarily for the treatment of impotence, wheezing, nocturnal enuresis, and pain, as well as to promote labor.[30] Up to 20 million seahorses may be caught each year to be sold for use in traditional Chinese medicine.[31] Preferred species of seahorses include H. kellogii, H. histrix, H. kuda, H. trimaculatus, and H. mohnikei.[30] Seahorses are also consumed by the Indonesians, the Central Filipinos, and many other ethnic groups.
Import and export of seahorses has been controlled under CITES since 15 May 2004. However, Indonesia, Japan, Norway, and South Korea have chosen to opt out of the trade rules set by CITES.
The problem may be exacerbated by the growth of pills and capsules as the preferred method of ingesting seahorses. Pills are cheaper and more available than traditional, individually tailored prescriptions of whole seahorses, but the contents are harder to track. Seahorses once had to be of a certain size and quality before they were accepted by TCM practitioners and consumers. Declining availability of the preferred large, pale and smooth seahorses has been offset by the shift towards prepackaged preparations, which make it possible for TCM merchants to sell previously unused, or otherwise undesirable juvenile, spiny and dark-coloured animals. Today almost a third of the seahorses sold in China are prepackaged, adding to the pressure on the species.[32]
Dried seahorses retails from US$600 to $3000 per kilogram with larger, paler and smoother animals commanding the highest prices. In fact, in terms of value based on weight seahorses retail for more than the price of silver and almost that of gold in Asia (UNEP, 2004).[33]

Pygmy seahorses[edit]
Pygmy seahorses are less than 15 millimeters (0.59 in) tall and 17 millimeters (0.67 in) wide members of the genus. Previously the term was applied exclusively to the species H. bargibanti but since 1997, discoveries have made this term obsolete. The species H. minotaur, H. denise, H. colemani, H. pontohi, H. severnsi and H. satomiae have been described. Other species that are believed to be unclassified have also been reported in books, dive magazines and on the Internet. They can be distinguished from other species of seahorse by their 12 trunk rings, low number of tail rings (26–29), the location in which young are brooded in the trunk region of males and their extremely small size.[35] Molecular analysis (of ribosomal RNA) of 32 Hippocampus species found that H. bargibanti belongs in a separate clade from other members of the genus and therefore that the species diverged from the other species in the "ancient" past.[36]
Most pygmy seahorses are well camouflaged and live in close association with other organisms including colonial hydrozoans (Lytocarpus and Antennellopsis), coralline algae (Halimeda) sea fans (Muricella, Annella, Acanthogorgia). This combined with their small size accounts for why most species have only been noticed and classified since 2001.[35][37]

I am overwhelmed by the response to this workshop. I am also extremely happy because this is kind of a dream-come-true as I have a way to help others to work on getting their memories down on paper.
Thank you, Everybody, for all the comments.
The main thing I'm noticing is a worry about time. You do have the time, no matter what. Believe me. Writing for 10 minutes a day is okay and you'll be amazed at how the pages mount up. Of course more writing is better but no writing, well, no writing is nothing. Do what you can! It becomes easier and easier to find moments to pick up a pen.
I'm going to try to post these prompts on Mondays and Thursdays for those of you who have been asking for links and feeds and other things I don't know how to do. A bonus prompt is always posted on Tuesdays with with my "Remember When" series.
Need more prompts? There are a lot of memoir writing web sites and many of them have lists of prompts. There's really no end to what you can write about.
So. Writers, journalers, rememberers; Get to writing!
Here's round two of prompts:
A visit to the hospital
Something embarrassing
Classes you've taken - dance, instrument, yoga, exercise, rowing, archery
Describe in detail watching a parent or older sibling doing something around the house that you - at that time - were not allowed to do.
Libraries - town, school, speciality
Visiting an antique store or museum and finding something you remember from your childhood.
Describe making some kind of art or craft in elementary school

Expiration Date:?Sep 2021Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.25 lbsShipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

We go the extra 8,000 miles for the highest quality Kava.
Our Kava root grows in the rich, volcanic soil of the Vanuatu Islands in the South Pacific, and is considered the best Kava in the world. Unlike commercially cultivated Kava, which is plantation-grown with agricultural chemicals, our Kava roots are grown according to ancient tradition in chemical-free village gardens which we have visited in-person and approved. Our roots are indeed organically grown, but cannot be officially "Certified" as such because of the extreme remoteness of the villages.
We boycott all wild-harvested Kava. Wild-growing varieties of Kava are very scarce, and because of senseless harvesting are in danger of extinction. This is why we use only sustainably cultivated Kava to make our extract.
Herb Pharm's Kava is prepared from the whole rhizome with root (never peel, stem or leaf) of 4 to 8 year-old Piper methysticum plants, and is extracted using only pharmaceutical-grade alcohol (never industrial solvents).
Our Liquid extract allows the user to fully experience the aroma and flavor of Kava, and assures optimal absorption and assimilation of Kava constituents by the body. This allows prompt experience of Kava's relaxing, stress-reducing properties.
Kava Liquid Extract
Promotes Peaceful Relaxation
Reduces Stress & Frustration
Suggested Use
Shake well before using.
Add 1 full squeeze of the dropper bulb to 2 oz of water or juice, 2 to 5 times per day. Best taken between meals.
Other Ingredients
Certified organic cane alcohol (83-93%).
Keep out of the reach of children.
Store away from heat & light.
Cautions: FDA advises that a potential risk of rare, but severe, liver injury may be associated with Kava. Ask a healthcare professional before use if you have, or have had, liver problems, frequently use alcoholic beverages, or are taking any medication. Stop use and see a doctor if liver symptoms occur (unusual fatigue, abdominal pain, appetite loss, dark urine, pale stools yellow eyes or skin). Not for use by persons under 18 years of age, or by pregnant or breastfeeding women. Do not take with alcoholic beverages. Excessive use may briefly impair ability to drive, or operate machinery.
Do not use if seal is broken or missing.
Keep bottle tightly closed and store away from heat & light.

This product should be used with caution, as it does work rather well and really quickly. Do not drive the car if you have taken kava! This one is great for tight and tense muscles and mind.

Love kava
Posted by may291 on Apr 27, 2012
Like it for stress, anxiety, relaxing, sleep, menstrual cramps and backache.

The Pharm Kava is the best I have found so far on the market, short of mixing the herb concoction yourself. This kava product is mixed with alcohol and gives a slight "kick" which I think tastes better than the kava mixed with glycerin.
Very good product
Posted by Reviewer2576162 on Jun 13, 2011
Works great and a good company to work with, fast shipping as well!
Good Kava
Posted by Reviewer2685001 on May 03, 2011
Does what Kava should. Preforms well and quickly. I dilute it in a little water and hold some under my tongue for a bit. Good Kava and I really like the Herb Pharm Company and quality. I have used been satisfied with all of their products.

Peter Georgescu to appear on 'Chautauqua People'
Peter Georgescu will be the next person featured on the new Access Channel 5 program called "Chautauqua People," which debuted in July. The program will air at 1:30 and 7:30 p.m. each day beginning on Aug. 24 with the last airing on Aug. 30.
Georgescu was born in Bucharest where his family was in the upper levels of Romanian society. His father was employed by Standard Oil of New Jersey during World War II while the Romanian government was under control of Ion Antonescu, supported by the Iron Guard fascist movement.
Georgescu and his brother Costa were sent from Bucharest to live with their grandparents in the village of Lipova as their father joined the resistance movement.
In 1941 his father was arrested by the fascists and imprisoned until the end of the war. Upon release in 1945, he resumed his work with Standard Oil. The family spent two very happy post-war years together.
However, while Georgescu's parents were in the United States on a business trip, Stalin's forces seized control of Romania as a vast Iron Curtain fell across Europe. Everyone knew that Georgescu's father was unable to return home because he would have been immediately arrested and executed. Around age 10, Georgescu, his older brother, and grandmother were put into hard labor. The boys lived with their grandmother and were required to perform the worst of near-slave-labor jobs by the communist government when they should have been attending school. During this time his grandfather was executed in a communist prison.
Georgescu was reunited with his parents in 1954 at the age of 15 after President Eisenhower arranged for the boys' freedom in return for some Russian spies held by the U.S. He arrived in this country and was greeted by his parents whom he hardly remembered.
He was accepted by the headmaster of Exeter academy despite having no knowledge of the English language and only a third-grade education. He mastered the language and academics necessary eventually to attend Princeton where he graduated cum laude. He subsequently earned an MBA from Stanford.
Instead of following his father and entering the oil industry, Georgescu joined Young and Rubicam, a marketing and communications company, where he remained for 40 years, retiring as chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

For the sixth consecutive season, the Upper Arlington Swim & Racquet Club won the Suburban Swim Club League championship.
The Seadogs totaled 2,733.5 points to easily outdistance the other four clubs in a weather-shortened meet July 9 and 10.
The Muirfield Muirfins finished second (2,002) and were followed by the Grandview Gators (1,845.5), Olentangy Tornadoes (1,795) and Hilliard Marlins (1,684). It was Grandview's first year in the league.
"We swam spectacularly and won both the juniors and seniors (divisions)," fourth-year Seadogs coach Barb Smith said. "The only unfortunate thing was not getting to watch all the younger kids swim, but we can't control the weather. I know all the coaches felt bad. You'd like to get to see the young kids on this stage and see how much they've improved and how much they've learned."
The juniors (10-and-under) can compete in three events, while the seniors (ages 11-18) can compete in four. The meet featured more than 500 competitors.
The Seadogs set seven program records in their eight-lane, 25-meter pool.
Four individuals set marks in the 15-18 class. Erin Sheehan won the 50-meter butterfly (30.39 seconds) and Jenny Smith won the 100 individual medley (1:08.04) on the girls side. Geoff Dickhaut won the 50 freestyle (26.05) and Ethan Fischer won the 50 breaststroke (33.74) for the boys.
"I thought our 15-to-18s all swam great and I also was very pleased with the swims in 13 and 14 and 11 and 12," coach Smith said. "It was an impressive performance by our seniors."
Swim & Racquet also broke three relay records, including a pair in medley relays.
The Seadogs won the 200 medley relay in the girls 13-14 age group, finishing in 2:12.24, and the 8-and-under girls won the 100 medley relay in 1:34.04.
The 13-14 lineup consisted of Kendra Sheehan, Grace Cullen, Anna Fischer and Anna Linzell. The 8-and-under lineup was Brennan Campbell, Sydney Barrett, Caroline Ubert and Paige Parker.
The 11-12 boys won the 200 free relay in a program-record 2:18.14. The lineup consisted of Ray Reed, Will Geletka, Jonathan Sugar and Alec Caswell.
Caswell won all of his events, also taking individual titles in the 50 fly (33.34), 50 free (30.73) and 100 IM (1:15.56).
Ubert also won all of her events, adding individual titles in the 25 free (17.3) and 25 fly (19.19).
Although Swim & Racquet won again, the balance in the league was shown by the number of event wins by the other clubs. Muirfield won eight events, one fewer than Grandview and Hilliard. Olentangy won six events.
"I think that's an indication of things to come," Hilliard coach Jeff Williams said. "It's a league with lots of strong competition, and although we were last like we were last season, the point total was much better and we had a ton of event winners. We put things together and had a stellar end of the year."
Coons, Ernst pace Hilliard
Hilliard was led by Ben Coons and Riley Ernst in the 13-14 age group.
Coons won the 50 free (30.68) and 50 breast (38.76) and was a member of the winning 200 medley relay (2:28.23). He was joined on the relay by Aaron Sartain, Ryan Gunter and Jack Gearhiser. Sartain also won the 50 back (35.66).
Ernest led the girls with wins in the 100 IM (1:14.26) and 50 back (34.22).
"Ben and Riley deserve the success because of their dedication and improvement," Williams said. "They make those around them work harder and improve. They are workhorses unlike anyone I've seen in their age group in quite a while."
The club's other wins were in the girls 11-12 group. Alex Worthington won the 50 back (34.22) and Sophie Lewis won the 50 breast (38.76). Worthington also was a member of the winning 200 medley relay (2:29.88), joining Brogan Gehring, Kaylee Preble and Eeshaa Mehta.
Relays strong for Muirfield
Muirfield was led by its 13-14 boys team, as Eddie Anders won the 100 IM (1:15.3) and 50 fly (32.7) and was a member of the winning 200 free relay (2:13.27) with Kellen Posacki, Scott Crawford and Nathan Zimovan.
The 15-18 girls won two relays, as Hannah Kayuha, Kelly Fox, Morgan Quesnel and Alexis Holderman finished the 200 medley in 2:18.95 and the 200 free in 2:02.78.
Other winners were Abby Manning in the 8-and-under girls 25 breast (29.03), Austin Carlin in the 9-10 boys 25 breast (22.63) and the 11-12 boys 200 medley relay of John McDonald, Reno James, Brenden Zimovan and Cole Iacono (2:41.33).
Grandview strong across age groups
Grandview's success was spread out, as the Gators' nine event wins came in seven groups.
Kaitlyn Sims was the lone double individual winner, as she was first in the 50 free (35.78) and 25 fly (17.28) in the 9-10 girls class.
Tucker Rinehart, competing in the 15-18 boys class, won the 50 free (29.55) and joined Peter Bonn, Glenn Cheney and Josh Smith on the winning 200 medley relay (2:17.73).
The other five wins were in relays.
Girls winners were the 8-and-under 100 free (1:24.13) of Greta Tew, Evie Cribbs, Sydney Swanson and Chai Dobbs-Euans, the 11-12 200 free (2:21.36) of Adelle Bechtel, Olivia White, Leah Stamm and Keelin O'Connor and the 13-14 200 free (2:10.45) of Calley Schmalz, Claire Bills, Courtney Swihart and Adrienne Bechtel.
For the boys, winning relays were the 8-and-under 100 free (1:27.05) of Matt Sanzo, Dylan Koprowski, Williams Halberg and Zach Buscemi and the 9-10 100 medley (1:23.17) of Leo Graham, Adam Bechtel, Ben Sterneker and Johnnie Herilhy.
Girls find success for Olentangy
Olentangy was led by its girls, specifically Caroline Cruise in the 11-12 age group. She won the 50 free (32.42), the 50 fly (34.76) and the 100 IM (1:18.86).
Ally Braun won the 50 free (29.94) in the 13-14 group and Regan Blythe won the 25 back (24.82) in the 8-and-under group.
The lone boys winner was the 9-10 200 free relay (2:37.06) of Parker Lawrence, Parker Budreau, Christian Lorence and Dean Stack.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD-(July 19, 2012)Area middle school students are learning about robotics, earth science and green technology from engineers who work at NASA and the University of Maryland Eastern Shore at the sixth annual "Reach for the Stars" summer camp.
Brett Kim, a freshman at Stephen Decatur High School, is getting a feel for some of the challenges scientists face. Kim and fellow budding scientists are building a smaller version of a rocket they will launch for their final project. "It has to keep an egg (representing the astronaut) safe and still be able to fly," Kim said. "It's complicated and takes a lot of time and patience. Nothing works the first time."
"The students build these test rockets (from plans) to develop skills for their larger rockets," said Brenda Dingwall, camp coordinator and equal opportunity specialist for NASA's Wallops Flight Center. Next time, she said, the students will design their own rockets to launch. "Hopefully, the astronaut will come back in one piece."
The two-week program, which began July 16, encourages students to pursue higher education and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics—STEM disciplines. The camp serves teens with disabilities, at-risk students and those who are gifted and talented. Students from UMES' Rehabilitation Services Department are able to apply their skills working with the children with special needs.
This is the first time that most of the campers have been on a college campus, Dingwall said. "The reason we do it (the camp) at the university is so that students see themselves as science and engineering students. It opens up a new world to them."
Zainab Mirza, from Ocean City, is enjoying the experience. "I love the camp, the counselors, meeting new people and the whole experience of being at college learning new things."
Started in 2007, the camp traditionally has been sponsored by UMES, NASA, Worcester County Economic Development and the TIME Foundation. A generous grant from the Ronald McDonald House Charities arranged by Baxter Enterprises, franchisee for most McDonald's restaurants on Delmarva, has expanded the 2012 program.

Refreshing toner
Posted by Reviewer1183567 on Mar 05, 2011
Nice, refreshing toner, which I use at night before I use a moisturizer afterwards for my very dry skin. Sometimes has a very slight sting, which may not be good for someone with very sensitive skin. Two minor things: the label came off immediately after arrival so that I had to mark the bottle as to what it contained, and the sprayer does not produce a fine mist so that you have to be careful and shield the eyes if applying directly to the face.
Great at one thing
Posted by 5668344325038503219 on Aug 10, 2014
Great when I use it while rinsing off the seaweed mask by Reviva. Too drying to use any other time though, especially everyday.
No esta mal

I do like this & that it is organic. Other toners I've used have been so heavy on the witch hazel they're not pleasant to use. This is nice.

Great product!

An excellent face tonic, very light with a pleasant fragrance that doesn't leave your skin feeling heavy or sticky after using. The only tonic that works for my face and doesn't cause break outs, easy to apply.
I really like this ..
Posted by Reviewer1540113 on Oct 27, 2011
It seems to really TONE. So many toners don't. One reviewer should contact iHerb to replace a faulty bottle.
Good Tonic
Posted by Reviewer3126974 on Jan 27, 2011
It is gentle and pleasant for skin. Well absorbed. Yes, and it really smells good.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Staacy It's ok.. So far, (I've only had this for about 2 weeks) it seems durable. I bought it to do exercises that would require it to bounce. It does not. Trying to figure out how to modify my workout to the limitations of the equipment. Once I do that, I may need to modify my review, but right now it did not meet my expectations. April 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Scott18 As described Exactly as described. Appears to be strong and durable. August 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by dawg great product Again this is a great product that I would recommend to everyone, i think its a product we can work into our programs. October 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Work out at home Workout at Home I use the medicine ball at my gym and wanted one so I can work out at home on the days I can't get to the gym. It gives a great workout, strength and resistance training. Just one disappointment.... the ones at my gym bounced and I was hoping this one did that too. But it does not, its more of a "slam" ball. Still great for core training June 3, 2014

Live the legend as you plant your feet in the snows of Kilimanjaro, Africa's tallest mountain at 19,443 feet – one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences Africa has to offer. For this Kilimanjaro adventure, we've chosen the lightly used Rongai Route, which approaches the mountain from the north. Experienced guides consider the Rongai Route an easier and more beautiful climb than the heavily trafficked Marangu Trail.
The Mt. Kilimanjaro climb takes you through diverse habitats: forests, alpine moorlands and a high-altitude desert in the saddle between the two snow-blanketed peaks. See wildlife such as the beautiful Kilimanjaro colubus monkey and eland. Wake to magnificent sunrises that make glaciers luminescent and grant the peak an alpine glow.
Although the climb does not require technical skills, it is a serious undertaking; however, anyone accustomed to strenuous exercise can reach the summit.
What is Custom Travel? The itinerary below is only a small sample of options in East Africa. Every traveler can envision their ideal way to see the world. International Expeditions' experienced Custom Travel Planners create individually tailored tours that match your style of travel, budget and timeline. Tell us the dates you wish to travel, and we'll take care of the details.
Arrive in Arusha, Tanzania. Upon arrival, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. Get a good night's sleep before your adventure begins tomorrow!
Arusha/Mt. Kilimanjaro Climb Briefing/Kibo Hotel
Your guide will provide an orientation for the Kilimanjaro climb and assist you in preparing your clothes and gear, as well as storing any excess luggage or items. Experienced guides and porters carry your food and equipment. (B,D)
Mt. Kilimanjaro Climb: Rongai One Camp
Rongai One Camp (8,500 ft): After completing the necessary registration formalities at the National Park gate, transfer to the start of the Rongai Route. The climb begins from the attractive wooden village of Nale Moru on a small path winding through fields of maize and potatoes before entering pine forest. The track then starts to climb consistently, but gently through attractive forest that shelters a variety of wildlife, including the beautiful Kilimanjaro colobus monkey. These monkeys are black with a long "cape" of white hair and a flowing white tail. The forest begins to thin out and the first camp is at the edge of the moorland zone with extensive views over Kenya's plains. (3-4 hours walking). (B,L,D)
Mt. Kilimanjaro Climb: Kikelewa Caves
Kikelewa Caves (11,000 feet). The morning walk is a steady ascent to the "Second Cave" with superb views of Kibo and the Eastern icefields on the crater rim. After lunch, leave the main trail and strike out across the moorland on a smaller path towards the jagged peaks of Mawenzi. Your campsite is in a sheltered valley with giant senecios near Kikelewa Caves. (6-7 hours walking) (B,L,D)
Mt. Kilimanjaro Climb: Mawnzi Tarn
Mawenzi Tarn (14,200 feet). A short but steep climb up grassy slopes is rewarded by superb views and a tangible sense of total wilderness. Leave vegetation behind shortly before reaching the next camp at Mawenzi Tarn, spectacularly situated beneath the towering spires of Mawenzi. The afternoon will be free to rest or explore the surrounding area as an aid to acclimatisation. (3-4 hours walking) (B,L,D)
Mt. Kilimanjaro Climb: Kibo Camp
Full day acclimatization. Trek to Kibo Camp. Cross the lunar desert of the "Saddle" between Mawenzi and Kibo to reach Kibo Campsite at the bottom of the Kibo crater wall. The remainder of the day is spent resting in preparation for the final ascent before a very early night! (5-6 hours walking) (B,L,D)
Mt. Kilimanjaro Climb: Gilman's Point/Summit/Horombo Hut
Climb to Gillman's Point (18,700 feet) and Summit! Start the final day by torchlight around 1 am. This is by far the steepest and most demanding part of the climb. Plodding very slowly in the darkness along a switchback trail through loose volcanic scree, head for the crater rim and Gillman's Point. Rest there for a short time to enjoy the spectacular sunrise over Mawenzi. Those who are still feeling strong can make the three hour round trip to Uhuru Peak, passing close to the spectacular glaciers and ice cliffs that still occupy most of the summit area. The descent to Kibo is surprisingly fast and after some refreshments, continue the descent to reach your final campsite at Horombo. (11-15 hours walking) (B,L,D)
Mt. Kilimanjaro Climb: Arusha
A steady descent takes you down through moorland to Mandara Hut, the first stopping place at the Marangu Route. Continue descending through lovely lush forest on a good path to the National Park gate at Marangu. (5-6 hours walking). When you finish the climb, there will be a vehicle waiting to transfer you back to Kibo Hotel. Continue to the main gate and onward to Mountain Village. Arriving Arusha, you have the remainder of the afternoon and evening at leisure to relish your accomplishment! (B)
Arusha/En Route
The morning is free to rest or enjoy shopping. This evening you will depart on your international flight home.
Arrive U.S.
Your flight arrives back into the U.S.

We really are seeing the disappearance of whole ecological niches, which means extinctions."northern latitudes as a whole actually got cooler. So one point to make here is that just because you have global warming, it doesn't get warm immediately everywhere. Climate changes, but in this case it actually got cooler. And the reason is because there was a flood of fresh water into the North Atlantic, which changed the oceanic circulation that actually keeps northern latitudes a little warmer than they would be otherwise.

We really are seeing the disappearance of whole ecological niches, which means extinctions."already beginning to happen, with butterflies, for example. But that simply means you take a species from a place where it's going extinct because its climate is changing and you move it to a different part of the world, where it has suitable climate to survive. I think we'll probably be doing some of that to keep species alive.

More:FEMA Hurricane Preparedness | August 23 Travel Warning -- The Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands
U.S. citizens traveling to storm-prone regions during hurricane and typhoon season should carefully consider the potential dangers and inconveniences associated with their travel before finalizing plans. Even inland areas far from the coastline can experience destructive winds, tornadoes, and floods from tropical storms, hurricanes and typhoons. Those who choose to travel should devise an emergency plan in advance of their departure. Prior to leaving the United States, enroll your trip on the State Department's travel enrollment website or at the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate.
For U.S. citizens overseas, in the event of a tropical storm, hurricane or typhoon, the U.S. Embassy will send out a warden message and will monitor the storm's track, issuing updated messages as information becomes available. The Department of State may also issue Travel Alerts or Travel Warnings to apprise the traveling public of the situation.
Please also take this time to check your travel documents and those of your family members to assure that all U.S. passports are still valid and that any non-U.S. citizen family members have valid U.S. visas. You may need to travel to the United States on short notice and would not want to be stuck without valid travel documents.
For situations involving an injury to, or the death of, an American citizen overseas, contact the OCS Call Center at 1-800-407-4747 (from overseas: 202-501-4444).

Mayo renovations get started
FAIRMONT – Infusion therapy is intensive therapy.
Patients typically receive their medication by IV, or sometimes through intramuscular injections or via the spinal column. They're often cancer patients needing chemotherapy, or people who can't take oral medications.
Soon, local patients in need of these services will get a little more sunshine in their lives.
Fundraising launched last year to create a new space for the infusion therapy department at Mayo Clinic Health System in Fairmont. Construction began this week. Gary True of Hertzke Construction said their part in the project will be complete in three months, and the space should be open to patients by summer.
The finished product will be an expanded, sun-lit suite in a different part of the building, with six infusion therapy stations, two exam rooms, a physician office and a consultation office – all with natural lighting, a contrast from the current setting.
Carole Lohmann, speaking for the medical center's auxiliary, has described the existing space as "almost a closeted area, with no outside windows. It's a very dreary place to have to sit."
Administrator Bob Bartingale is looking forward to offering what he has said will be a "true oncology center."
"There is a need to update our infusion therapy space to better meet the needs of our patients," Bartingale said. "This expansion project will provide patients with a more comfortable clinical area, both in space and atmosphere. Additionally, with our increased patient capacity, we can keep more patients' care close to home."
The facility expects to be able to treat more patients thanks to the additional room. Right now, 10 to 11 patients per day receive infusion therapy, but the number could go up to 14.
The project's cost has been estimated at $445,000, with local contributions adding up to $245,000 in donations through Mayo Clinic Health System in Fairmont Auxiliary, Mayo Clinic Health System in Fairmont Foundation and Fairmont Community Hospital Foundation. Mayo is paying the remaining costs.

Dr Simon Macdonald has been awarded the Review of English Studies essay prize for 2012 for his essay 'Identifying Mrs Meeke: Another Burney Family Novelist'. His essay focuses on the writer 'Mrs Meeke', the most prolific English-language novelist of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries; he demonstrates that she can be identified as Elizabeth Meeke, a step-sister of Frances Burney, the most prestigious novelist of the period. In announcing the prize, the journal editor wrote that this was 'a terrific find, beautifully handled, and the judgment of the editors was unanimous'. The essay will be published by Review of English Studies in 2013.

About the Author: Janice Clark serves as the Director of Electronic Information in the Bureau of Public Affairs.
Where do you like to get your news? On the subway? In line at the bank? While waiting for your double-shot skinny no foam latte?
If you're like many of us, handheld devices are becoming essential tools for keeping up with the latest information, whether while we're commuting, shuttling between the main building and one of the Department's annexes, or inbetween meetings. So we here in the www.state.gov office set out to identify which content would be most appropriate for these devices, and then worked behind the scenes to automate those categories of information so they could be quickly and easily seen on small screens.
As a result, you can now get the latest foreign policy information from the State Department by pointing the browser on your BlackBerry, iPhone, or other hand-held device to m.state.gov.
Here's what you'll find there:
Top Stories from state.gov's home page, as well as other recent stories;
Secretary Clinton's remarks, travel and daily appointments schedule;
Country Info (A-Z access to Background Notes);
Daily Press Briefings; and
More News (Fact sheets and other press releases)
m.state.gov also links to the mobile site for the DipNote blog, and to www.state.gov, for those devices that are able to render the full site. Future enhancements will include photos, video, and PDFs, allowing you to access even more state.gov content on-the-go.
The Department is also working on developing specific APPs, with possible uses to include tools for overseas travelers such as travel warnings, passport info, per diems, and tourist information. We'd love to hear your ideas.

@Patrick W. in Maryland - I completely understand the impulse, believe me! However, I checked in with the Passport Office, and here's what they said:
"Passport photos are not to be PhotoShopped for any reason. If a photo has been adjusted in any way, it will be rejected. We will then request new photos be sent, all of which causes delays in the issuance process for the customer."
So...the best advice we can offer is get plenty of sleep and ask for good lighting.
Thanks for the question!

Over at Real Clear Religion, Acton's director of research, Samuel Gregg discusses Pope Francis's recent appointment of Cardinal George Pell to "Secretariat of the Economy." The secretariat has authority over the economic activities of the Vatican City State and the Holy See.
Gregg explains his take on Cardinal Pell and this appointment:
It may well turn out to be the greatest challenge of his priestly life.
You don't need to watch the Godfather Part III to know that the Catholic Church has struggled for several decades to address some real problems in the management of the Holy See's finances. Just looking at an organizational chart of the various units involved in some way in administering the Holy See's resources is enough to make even devout Catholics think that maybe Dan Brown's novels are onto something.
What's often called "the Vatican Bank" — it's more formal title is the Istituto per le Opere di Religione (IOR) — is just one of several institutions that the Holy See has created over the years to manage various resources. In many ways, a far more important structure is the lesser-known "Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See" (APSA), which, as it stated under its governing document, serves "to administer the properties owned by the Holy See in order to provide the funds necessary for the Roman Curia to function."

Puma's Amory Ross on the VOR: Tristan da Cunha
Puma's Amory Ross on the VOR: Tristan da Cunha
Today's sport outing was offensive. The PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG team was invited to play at the Tristan Golf Course, a beautiful nine-hole establishment built into the side of a volcano. And while the scenery certainly lived up to it's reputation, we were insulted by some of the on-site manners. Several club members kept eating grass and, among other things, the occasional golf ball. One bull of an occupant wouldn't get out of my way; he just stood there staring! Another had the audacity to go to the bathroom, in public. For such a lovely island with such friendly people, they really must do something about their course residents. Holy cow were they rude!
Life away from the Tristan golf course continues for the 11 of us from PUMA's Mar Mostro. We had a heck of a first day here that involved little but rest, food, and drink. We are catered to by the locals, and one thing that was made immediately clear: food will never be in short supply. We have three home cooked meals a day – thank you Felicity and Joanna! Living arrangements include two adjacent houses located exactly between the dock and the pub. Perfect. Two of us stay out on the boat each night just to make sure the anchorage remains safe. There's an internet café with three computers connecting us to the outside world. There's a small store, a church, and a school. Outside of that there's not much. Life here is very simple.
We all have work to do before the freighter gets here, but the Tristanians are eager to entertain when we have time to spare. They have been incredibly generous already and have also organized an excursion to nearby Nightingale Island to see the penguins and albatross, a tour of their fishery, and an all-day hike to the volcano summit some 2,700 meters above our heads. The local soccer ["football"] club wants to take a run at us, too. We're banking on Marmo for the win…with eight legs he better be good!
Otherwise, spirits remain high. It was tough looking at the pictures of Telefónica arriving in Cape Town, but so is life and we have to accept it as such. Everyone's doing a good job staying positive and focused despite the current predicament. Michi is on permanent "TEAM BREMEN" watch (our freighter), and he's been providing us with its hourly whereabouts. It will be a few days before she's here, but we're counting down the minutes until we can resume our easterly progress towards Cape Town.

To be in good academic standing, undergraduate students are expected to maintain at least a 2.00 GPA in each of the following areas:
all coursework completed at CSULB (CSULB cumulative GPA)
all transferable college coursework plus coursework completed at CSULB (overall cumulative GPA)
To be in good academic standing, graduate students are expected to maintain at least a 3.00 GPA in each of the following areas:
all upper-division courses completed subsequent to the first degree (courses numbered 300-499 at CSULB)
all graduate-level courses completed subsequent to the first degree (courses numbered 500 and above at CSULB)
Academic Probation is a warning that a student's academic performance is below the minimum requirements for good academic standing and for graduation.
Probation for undergraduates occurs at the end of any Fall or Spring term in which their CSULB cumulative and/or overall cumulative GPA falls below 2.00.
Probation for graduate students occurs any time their GPA falls below 3.00.
Academic Disqualification is dismissal from CSULB. Undergraduate students on academic probation are subject to academic disqualification when:
A student, just disqualified, may appeal his or her disqualification if he or she has improved their GPA, can provide documentation of extenuating circumstances that led to their weak academic performance, shows tangible changes that will lead to future academic success, participated in an intervention program at the University Center for Undergraduate Advising, or made significant academic progress.
For additional information, contact the University Center for Undergraduate Advising and/or review the information on the University Center for Undergraduate Advising website.
Disqualified students may apply for reinstatement to the university once they have been out of attendance for at least one fall or spring semester and have demonstrated an ability to succeed academically.
To be considered for reinstatement to the University, a disqualified student must:
This can be achieved as follows:
Complete academic courses that are applicable as degree credit toward General Education or major requirements through CSULB College of Continuing and Professional Education (CCPE), Open University, Summer and/or Winter sessions. These courses must be acceptable for degree credit; the grades you earn in these courses will factor into your CSULB cumulative GPA and your overall cumulative GPA.
Here are some important things to consider when registering for courses while on Academic Disqualification:
If you are applying to be reinstated in a different major, you are strongly encouraged to complete the major specific requirements required of current CSULB students to declare the new major.
If you have a considerable CSULB grade point deficiency, you are strongly encouraged to take courses through CCPE Open University. Disqualified students are allowed to take a maximum of 6 units per academic semester. Additionally, please note that there is a limit of 24 semester units of Open University and extension credits that may count toward the CSULB degree.
You may consider repeating a CSULB course in which you previously earned a grade of "D," "F" or "WU." If you repeat the course at CCPE Open University and earn a grade of "C" or better in the second attempt, the first grade earned will be deleted from your GPA; however, if you earn less than a grade of "C," both the first and second attempt grades will be averaged into your GPA and could negatively affect your chances for reinstatement. Please review the limits on repeating classes.
You may apply for reinstatement after at least one term away from the University (not including Summer) during which you took steps to demonstrate your academic improvement. Submit an Application for Admission, Petition for Reinstatement and all transcripts to the Academic Appeals Committee by the deadline date for the term for which you are requesting reinstatement. If requested, you may be required to submit a Timely Graduation Appeal consistent with the Timely Graduation policy.
|Fall semester
|May 31
|Spring semester
|November 1
Submit your Application for Admission, Petition for Reinstatement and official transcripts for all work completed and courses in progress since disqualification to Enrollment Services, Brotman Hall 101, or mail them to:CSULB
Note: Students who attended any other institution before 1988 must re-submit official transcripts from the other institution(s).
Students should submit all documents as soon as possible in order to be considered for provisional admission. Final grades for all courses taken since disqualification must be submitted in order for the Academic Appeals Committee to finalize admission eligibility.
Transcripts for enrollment through CSULB's College of Continuing and Professional Education do not need to be submitted. For more information regarding Reinstatement, refer to the University Catalog or visit the University Center for Undergraduate Advising.
Strategies for Academic Success is a University program designed for undergraduate students who are on Academic Probation. If you are a declared graduate student or credential candidate on Academic Probation, you should contact your department for information and assistance.
The program presents workshops with information about University policies and procedures, the reasons why students encounter academic problems and the various methods of assistance available from campus services and offices to help students become more successful.
You must sign up in advance to attend one of the workshops, which are scheduled at various times throughout each term and during the Summer and Winter breaks.
For more information or to sign up for a workshop, please contact the University Center for Undergraduate Advising at (562) 985-4837 or visit us in the Steven and Nini Horn Center, Room 103.
