found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Jill is free of mommy duties and enjoying life now! She seems to be doing everything she can to make up for time she spent confined and isolated. She has burst out of her shell. She is a bundle of energy and a very loud player. Any canine c...ompanion will need to not take offense to her rowdy play drive. Over time, she should quiet her play with 'gentle' coaching. For now, she seems bent on making up for years of no play.
Jill is a very friendly girl that can be handled all over without any issues. Outside of her relentless play drive while around other basenjis, she is one of the 'easier' basenjis. Her house manners are very good. She knows how to use a doggy door. In her new home, she will need to be watched carefully in the beginning to make sure that she gets all of the house rules right the first time. It appears that her foster home is her first house, so her new family will need to show her that all of the same rules apply to every house.
Jill does have a luxating patella, but it doesn't slow her down at all. She is now a well-muscled and very gregarious player. She is able to keep up with a 10 month old pup that is 50% bigger than she is (and yes, this is really play): http://youtu.be/t3drksdTeOY . She is able to jump up and down off of anything she chooses now - fortunately, she has not chosen to try for my desk or the table yet. Her new owner must make sure that she continues to get lots of exercise to keep or improve her current condition.
Jill is available for a $150 adoption fee to the right home now. If you are interested in Jill and feel you can provide the exercise and the guidance she needs, please contact us at email@example.com . Jill's DNA test for Fanconi has been ordered.
Jill, a Seminole Basenji dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Basenji for sale in Seminole, or seeking a Basenji dog from a breeder in Seminole.

You can learn a lot about a university by visiting its website: programs, tuition rates, scholarships, student services. What you can't tell, though, is how you'll feel when you set foot on campus. That's why a campus tour is so important when you're considering attending a university, says Ken Withers, director of student recruitment at the University of Toronto.
"When I walk on to that campus, do I feel like I'm 'home'? You get that feeling instinctually. You think, 'I'd love to spend four years here,' or, 'This really isn't for me, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable here.'"
Quinn Runkle, who is a senior student ambassador for the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, says her campus visit was how she decided the university was the right place for her. "That was where I came to a better understanding of what the university had to offer, and I really felt like I fit there."
During a typical campus tour you'll hear from recruiting staff about admission requirements and the application process, and you'll get to see the campus. "Where students hang out, where they eat, where they live, where they study," Runkle says. But one of the most valuable parts of a campus tour is the ability to interact with the tour guide, who is usually a current student at the university.
"You shouldn't be afraid to ask anything," Runkle says. "It's your opportunity to have an honest conversation with a current student. The range of questions I've had is phenomenal, so don't hold back."
Your tour guide can give you an idea of what student life is really like at a university, says Lisa Kachulak-Babey, director of student recruitment for the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg.
"A lot of students may be coming from small schools and it can be overwhelming," she says. "On a tour they can find where they could potentially hang out, meet people, about clubs and activities."
Withers advises that students ask, "Where do students go between classes? Where is that student common space? Where do people grab lunch? What happens during orientation?"
He adds, "The truth of the matter is buildings are buildings. It's really, 'What's the heartbeat of the university?'"
When it comes to their academic experience, students can ask questions about study-abroad opportunities, tutoring and disability services, financial aid and scholarships. And if you're looking for more specific information about a particular faculty, Withers says, don't be afraid to ask. Recruiters can connect you with someone, either that day or after your visit by phone or e-mail.
But what if you can't make it to campus for a tour? Most universities offer extensive online interaction, through virtual campus tours, online chats with recruiters and blogs with student mentors (check with their office of student recruitment). And because university recruiters travel across the country (and the world) throughout the year, students can also find out whether someone will be coming to their area.
If you've decided on a university and you still have questions, be sure to attend orientation week, Withers says, whether you're on or off campus.
"More and more universities offer a very extensive orientation period," he says. "It's like a week-long campus tour."
Here are seven essential questions you should ask on your campus tour:
1 Why did you choose to attend this school? Most campus tour guides are current students, so ask them to share what it is they like about their school, and what makes it unique.
2 What was your first year like? Tour guides can give you an idea of what the workload was like in first year, how it compared with high school, what orientation week is like, plus some of the leisure activities and clubs on offer.
3 Where do students hang out? You should ask about where students like to study and relax during the day, as well as what they do for fun on the weekends. Then ask yourself, is this the kind of experience I could see myself enjoying?
4 What are my options when it comes to accommodation? Most schools offer dorm-style residences on campus, but some also offer apartment or townhouse-style living. your tour guide can give you an idea of the cost, the food and the vibe of each residence (for example, is it okay for introverts or is it seriously loud?). Also ask: Do most students live on or off campus?
5 How wired is the campus? Ask whether there is WiFi in the residences, the commons areas, the libraries. If you're the type of person who brings your laptop everywhere, this will matter.
6 What was the overall cost of your first year? Your tour guide can give you an idea of the real cost of attending that university, including tuition, books, food, transit or parking and social expenses. Also, your tour guide can tell you the kinds of part-time jobs students can get on campus or in the nearby community.
7 Where can I get help if I need it? Ask about student services, financial services, mentoring, peer tutoring. Your guide can also give you a sense of how available professors and teaching assistants were during first year, and how he or she dealt with challenging courses.Report Typo/Error

I ran into a situation yesterday that I have yet to find a solution to.
A client's a 3-LAN WRAP with m0n0wall v1.3b4 firewall started kernel
panicing and rebooting... After connecting to the serial port, I noticed
the following additional information being logged:
ipf_nattable_max reduced to X
(where X is between about 20000 and about 29000)
Now, some random amount of time passes, during which time the web GUI
interface is inaccessible and the firewall stops syslogging to the
remote syslog server then,
panic: kmem_malloc(4096): kmem_map too small: 36687872 total allocated
At which point the system complains about no place to write a dump file
(it's on a WRAP so this makes sense) and it reboots.
Initially, this was a WRAP w/m0n0wall v1.3b4. I upgraded it to m0n0wall
v1.3b10 - same thing. So I swapped it out for a new 3-LAN port ALIX box
with m0n0wall v1.3b10 - same results.
After looking into the states page I noticed a high amount of outbound
dns queries from the "new" djbdns dns server so I increased the
CACHESIZE variable from its default 10 1Meg to 100Meg, and also
increased the DATALIMIT variable and restarted the djbdns service.
The firewall ran fine (stopped rebooting every 5-10 minutes) so I
thought I was home-free. It ran for almost 24 hours after those changes
but then again restarted itself.
This client is a school, and the students are away this week. I am
concerned that when they come back things will get worse. Does anyone
have any ideas as to how I may debug this further and get their network
back to the rock solid stability they have been used to?

Viewer Question:
How long does Costochondritis
and Tietze's Syndrome last?
Doctor's Response:
Both Costochondritis and Tietze's Syndrome can spontaneously go away in days to weeks. Sometimes there can be intermittent troublesome pain, worse and better at times, for years. Sometimes the lumpy swelling of Tzietze's Syndrome persists, but becomes painless.
Persistent local pains that are not responding to aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs can often be relieved by cortisone injection.
Thank you for your question.

Benn primed for Iraq peace trip
Former Labour MP Tony Benn is hoping to meet Saddam Hussein on a visit to Baghdad next week.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz has told Mr Benn he might be granted an interview like the one he had with the dictator in the run-up to the Gulf War.
News of Mr Benn's trip followed reports that Iraq was preparing its troops for a possible chemical war.
Downing Street said it could not confirm the reports but said the news came as "no surprise".
'Good sign'
Mr Benn's announcement came as the US said it was "unacceptable" for Iraq to refuse to grant United weapons inspectors interviews with its key scientists.
The veteran former minister said: "The purpose is to explore the prospects for peace.
"That is why I went in 1990 and it is important now when you hear America speaking about weeks, not months.
"It is a good sign that he may be willing to meet me."
Iraqi documents obtained by BBC Radio 4's Today programme suggest Baghdad is equipping key military units with protection against chemical weapons.
Splits emerging?
Tony Blair's official spokesman said Mr Blair's spokesman said: "What is emerging is a clear pattern which suggests not only that Saddam has weapons of mass destruction but that he is also continuing to try and conceal it.
"Therefore, he is not complying with UN resolution 1441 because he is not proactively engaging with the weapons inspectors to reveal what weapons of mass destruction he has he has and help them disarm them."
There are growing signs of increasing opposition within the United Nations Security Council to possible war - but Number 10 is urging people "not to jump to conclusions".
He said everybody should wait to see what happened when the UN weapons inspectors reported on Monday.
The reports that Iraq could be preparing to use chemical weapons if it comes under attack stem from papers smuggled out by Iraqi opposition figures.
But anti-war Labour MP Tam Dalyell warned that the documents could be propaganda.
Or Iraq might be trying to protect its troops against a chemical attack, he argued.
Human shield
A group of 100 UK peace protesters were preparing on Friday to travel by bus to Iraq, drumming up anti-war support on route.
The group says it is prepared to act as a "human shield" should war start when it is in Iraq.
Suggestions of chemical warfare will stoke fears for British troops heading towards the Gulf.
On Friday, a defence minister rejected claims that troops had been asked to sign disclaimers over vaccines being offered to the military.
Anna Vizor, of St Edmunds, Suffolk, said her husband, who is in the RAF, had rejected offers of various jabs, including anthrax.
In a letter to the Daily Telegraph, Ms Vizor said: "He was told if he wanted to have these jabs, he had to sign a disclaimer saying that if he was ill in the future, he couldn't claim any compensation."
'No vaccine disclaimer'
Defence Minister Lewis Moonie told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "They are not being asked to sign waivers. Categorically not. It is the exact opposite."
Dr Moonie continued: "When somebody refuses a vaccination - not when they take it - a record is kept, signed by the doctor and the person, saying that they understand that they have been offered the vaccination and have refused it.
"We have very good public health reasons for wanting our people to take all the vaccinations, not just anthrax.
"That's why we do try to put pressure on them, but it is a voluntary act."
Earlier, former Tory leadership contender Kenneth Clarke said he was "not persuaded" about the case for war with Iraq.
Mr Clarke said he was worried Washington had taken the decision to go to war months ago.

I am trying to convert a double of known length to a string using a mex function
Ideally, this is how the mex function would work,
ans =
This should be fairly simple, but I'm not having a whole lot of luck.
Thanks for the help,
The actual code should look something like,
#include "mex.h"
void num2str_mex(char *output, double input)
/* convert input of type double to output of type char */
/* not sure what goes here */
void mexFunction( int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[] )
double *input
char *output
/* allocate memory for output string */
output = mxCalloc(1, sizeof(char));
/* create string array for return argument */
plhs[0] = mxCreateString(output);
/* assign pointers to output */
input = mxGetPr(prhs[0]);
/* call num2str_mex subroutine */
Try this:
#include "mex.h"
#include <stdio.h>
void mexFunction( int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[] )
double *input;
char *output;
input = mxGetPr(prhs[0]);
output = mxMalloc(25*sizeof(char));
sprintf(output, "%f", *input);
plhs[0] = mxCreateString(output);
% Bruno
Or if you don't want to bother with malloc but uses a stack memory.
#include "mex.h"
#include <stdio.h>
void mexFunction( int nlhs, mxArray *plhs[], int nrhs, const mxArray *prhs[] )
char output[25];
sprintf(output, "%g", *mxGetPr(prhs[0]));
plhs[0] = mxCreateString(output);
% Bruno

Awesome, thank you.

Could you explain why you need/want to do this in or using a MEX-file? I
would just call one of the MATLAB functions NUM2STR or SPRINTF unless the
MEX-ness is important.

I am trying to write a function that converts serial dates to readable date strings, kind of like Jan Simon's DateStr2Num found here,
except for the opposite way.
Currently I am reading in Unix time (POSIX time) and converting that serial date to representative numbers. For example, I am able to turn,
2011 (year)
8 (month)
24 (day)
9 (hour)
31 (minute)
0 (second)
and now I would like to turn those numbers into a string,
'08/24/2011 09:31:00'
I have written a Matlab version of this code, but I wanted to write a mex version because I was hoping that it might go faster.
Thanks again for the help,

Los Angeles (AFP) Jan 29, 2013
California has long been braced for the Big One, but now a proposed new early warning system seeks to give the US state's residents vital extra seconds before a major earthquake hits.
The $80 million plan, presented by lawmaker Alex Padilla and experts from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), would use technology already in place in Japan to issue warnings from underground sensors.
The alerts could give tens of seconds' early notice to residents of Los Angeles, for example, if the start of a major temblor were detected a significant distance away from the crowded West Coast megalopolis.
Automatic systems could trigger brakes on trains to slow them down before the quake hit, preventing potentially catastrophic derailments from adding to the disaster.
"A fully developed earthquake early warning system would provide Californians critical seconds to take cover, assist loved ones, pull to the side of the road or exit a building," said Padilla, presenting the plan Monday.
"It could allow time to stop a train or power down other critical infrastructure ... it would also speed the response of police and fire personnel by quickly identifying areas hardest hit by the quake."
Geologists say a quake capable of causing widespread destruction is 99 percent certain of hitting California in the next 30 years. A magnitude 7.8 quake could kill 1,800 people, injure 50,000 more and damage 300,000 buildings.
A 6.7-magnitude earthquake in Los Angeles left at least 60 people dead and did an estimated $10 billion damage in 1994, while a 6.9 quake in San Francisco in 1989 claimed the lives of 67 people.
Padilla's plan would be the biggest such warning system in the United States -- but other countries, including Japan, Taiwan, Mexico, Turkey, Romania, Italy and China already have or are building such a network, Padilla said.
In Japan's cataclysmic 2011 earthquake, underground sensors detected the first tectonic shift and sent out telephone text messages to some 50 million people within seconds, according to the LA Times.
The plan was unveiled weeks after a study by Caltech and Japan's Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC) warned that California's big population centers could be more at risk than previously thought.
Specifically, it said that so-called "creeping segments" on earthquake fault lines such as California's San Andreas Fault, previously seen as a buffer that could limit the impact of quakes, could in fact make them worse.
The study's findings "imply that a much larger event may be possible than is now anticipated -- one that might involve both the Los Angeles and San Francisco metropolitan areas," it said.
Michael Gurnis, head of the Caltech Seismological Laboratory, said the system "would save lives and help California in many ways if it is rolled out as a fully operational system.
"For decades Caltech and UC Berkeley have worked with the US Geological Survey on science that can help the public in the event of a major quake," he added.
"Earthquake Early Warning is a ripe area for development of a system that can provide a few seconds to tens of seconds of advance notice for many people in the event of a major earthquake."
Los Angeles is on the so-called Ring of Fire, which circles the Pacific and has produced a number of devastating earthquakes, including Japan's March 2011 quake and tsunami, which killed thousands of people.
California is arguably overdue for the Big One. While major temblors in recent years have shaken Japan, Indonesia, Chile, New Zealand and Mexico, the US West Coast has been spared.

BASINGSTOKE Cavaliers turned on the style as they beat visiting Petersfield 33-8.
The home side took two minutes to take the lead as scrum-half and skipper Brent Evans broke through the Petersfield defence and offloaded to man-of-the-match, Toby Fryer who scored.
The Cavaliers scored again as Evans' storming run from the back of a ruck allowed him to feed Fryer, whose short pass to Chris Pritchard saw the teenager run in from the 22.
The visitors replied with a score to add to an earlier penalty to make it 10-8, but the home side increased their advantage by half-time as, from a 10 metre scrum, Evans picked up the ball and scored.
After the break, Fryer returned the earlier favour and put Evans in for his second try of the game.
Basingstoke added another score from flanker Scott Barr, which was quickly followed by another from Luke Robertson – his first in senior rugby.
With a penalty added by Dean Crossley, the game finished with the home side as 33-8 winners.
Coach Steve Parker said: "This sort of performance has been coming. The boys are working very hard in training, our injury list is shortening and it's great to welcome back some of the more long-term absentees.
"While Toby got the man-of-the-match award, it's fair to say all the players were outstanding today."
The fifths were also in action on Saturday, away to Lymington Mariners.
The inexperienced Basingstoke side were beaten 52-0, Sean Pritchard being their man-of-the-match.
Team coach Trevor Coxon said: "It was a tough day, but this is a young side and they will have learned a lot from this.
"Scott Maher and Sean Pritchard are only 17, but they put in a very good shift today. I'm proud of the boys for not giving up."
The Dragons were 38-17 winners at Tottonians. They are at Reading this weekend.

What are your opinions about getting a BA and self esteem? Does getting one mean you have a low self esteem?
- racecar
- Last updated: 5 years ago
My soon- to- be- ex-husband tells me that getting one means I have low self esteem and I need to "deal with that". How do you feel about this? What are some of our psychological reasons for doing this? Btw I had my BA surgery today and so far so good!

What exactly is that ornate, cream-colored facade looming over Locust Street? Walking west, from Washington Square, one could simply pass by the old Musical Fund Hall without a thought. And that would be an option, but it would be a mistake.
In the 1820s, when the Musical Fund Hall was new, it was the center of cultural life in Philadelphia. Broad Street was still mostly barren. The Academy of Music would not be built for three more decades. Nearby, the Walnut Street Theater was thriving and the Square served as one of the gathering grounds for the city's 150,000 residents. But that population would double again before 1850 and double again by 1870, forcing the city westward and leaving the Musical Fund Hall as a pleasant, if quaint, memory.

Laura Robson vs Sorana Cirstea Semi Final Tennis Match 2012
WTA China Guangzhou Open 2012
To reach the last eight Robson had defeated the second seed, Zheng Jie of China 6-3, 6-3. She next plays third-seeded Sorana Cirstea, the world No.30 for a place in the final. The Romanian beat Alize Cornet of France 6-4, 6-3.
The second semi-final will be between Ursula Radwanska of Poland and Hsieh Su-wei of Taiwan.Robson is the first British woman to reach a main tour singles semi-final since Anne Keothavong at the Luxembourg Open in October 2011.The Londoner is aiming to become the first British woman to contest a main tour singles final since Jo Durie in 1990 in Newport, USA.
The last British woman to win a WTA singles title was Sara Gomer in July 1988 in Aptos, California. Having won a silver medal in the Olympic mixed doubles and reached the US Open last 16, Robson's superb season continues. She broke Peng's serve three times, and decisively in game 12, to secure a tight opening set.It was roles reversed in an equally combative second, but Robson composed herself to dominate the decider.
"After New York I'm feeling pretty confident on court and I'm not really having any trouble serving out matches at the moment, which is always good," she told The Tennis Space website.
"But I've still got a lot that I can improve on, so I'm trying not to focus on anyone else's expectations, just focusing on improving and listening to my coach [Zeljko Krajan]."
Robson beat Zheng Jie to make the last eight and having battled past Peng in hot conditions, she will play Cirstea for the first time.
"It's going to be a really tough match because she's a very aggressive player and hits a lot of winners, so I'm going to have to be ready to run a lot, that's for sure," she added.

The population of Edmonton is over 800,000 and the Edmonton Metropolitan Area population is close to one million as of 2003. Edmonton also has the one of the lowest population densities in North America - about 67 times less than New York. At 684 km2, Edmonton has a large city boundary, larger in area than Chicago, Illinois. Note that the 684 km2 is measured from the border of the city limits and not the actual extent of the built up area of the city. In the 2001 Canadian Census, 47.2% of Edmonton CMA residents identified themselves as having an ethnic origin within Europe. The next most mentioned region of ethnic origin was the British Isles (39.9%) and then North America (26.6%). French origins accounted for 12.2%, East and Southeast Asia origins (7.9%) and Aboriginal origins (6.0%). Over 47% of Edmonton CMA residents identified themselves as having more than one ethnic origin. In mid-2001, 10.5 percent of the resident population in Edmonton was of retirement age 65 and over, compared with 13.2 percent in Canada; therefore, the average age is 35.4 years of age comparing to 37.6 years of age for all of Canada.

US stocks fell for the eighth day in the past 10 on Tuesday as uncertainty stemming from the political stalemate in Greece gave investors another reason to be cautious and sellers came out in force late in the session.
The S&P 500 fell for the third straight session as attempts to form a government in Greece fell apart, raising the possibility of a rejection of the bailout terms spelled out by the European Union for the fiscally troubled nation, Reuters said.
After holding near the unchanged mark for much of the session, stocks moved lower in the absence of positive news to turn the tide of negative sentiment.
"Those who are looking for a little bit of a bounce off the last eight trading sessions lost their nerve because there is really nothing out there to indicate the broader story has changed," said Peter Kenny, managing director at Knight Capital in Jersey City, New Jersey.
The concerns about upheaval in the euro zone and its effect on the global economy weighed on energy and materials stocks, with US crude down for the third straight day. The S&P energy index and the S&P materials index each dropped 1.5 per cent.
Quarterly results helped boost retailers TJX, up 6.9 per cent at $US42.45, and Dick's Sporting Goods, up 5.9 per cent at $US50.05. US retail sales rose 0.1 per cent in April, slightly below expectations. However, details in the Commerce Department's report indicating underlying strength in demand and a rebound in manufacturing activity in New York State calmed concerns that the economy was stalling.
The declines on Tuesday pushed the S&P 500 down more than 6 per cent from its early April high, leaving some investors optimistic that the pullback may be nearing an end as stock prices become more attractive.
"We could go a little lower, but not much lower. It's hard to ignore the fundamentals - and clearly there are some good fundamentals and prices," said Mark Martiak, senior wealth strategist at Premier/First Allied Securities in New York.
Data showing an index of home builders' sentiment at a five-year high in May helped lift the sector's shares. The PHLX housing index advanced 0.6 per cent. But Home Depot shares lost 2.4 per cent to $US48.67 and ranked as the biggest drag on the Dow after the home improvement retailer posted quarterly sales that fell short of Wall Street's expectations.
The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 63.35 points, or 0.50 per cent, to 12,632.00 at the close. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index lost 7.69 points, or 0.57 per cent, to 1330.66. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 8.82 points, or 0.30 per cent, to 2893.76.
JPMorgan Chase & Co rose 1.3 per cent to $US36.24, mostly unchanged this week after falling more than 11 per cent last week after disclosing a trading loss of at least $US2 billion. Pressure mounted on the bank to reclaim some of the millions of dollars it paid to the executives who oversaw the wrong-way trades.
Avon Products Inc tumbled 9.7 per cent to $US18.71 after Coty Inc withdrew its $US10.7 billion takeover bid for the company, saying it had missed a deadline to start discussions.
Chesapeake Energy Corp shares dropped as much as 7.8 per cent to $US14.31, their lowest since March 2009, after a credit rating downgrade and news that the natural gas producer will increase its borrowing to $US4 billion from the planned $US3 billion as it faces a liquidity crunch. Chesapeake shares finished the session down 5.6 per cent at $US14.65.
Facebook Inc increased the price range of its initial public offering, aiming to raise more than $US12 billion and giving the world's largest social network a valuation potentially exceeding $US100 billion. The indications of high demand for Facebook's IPO prompted some buyers to snap up other social media companies' shares, such as online game maker Zynga Inc, up 7.7 per cent at $US8.56.
Volume was active with about 7.22 billion shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Amex and Nasdaq, above the daily average of 6.78 billion. Declining stocks outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a ratio of nearly 2 to 1, while on the Nasdaq, about 14 stocks fell for every 11 that rose.

President Obama again urged Congress to pass his jobs bill Saturday, this time with an emphasis on teachers.
"Since 2009, we've lost more than 300,000 education jobs, in part because of budget cuts at the state and local level," Obama said during his weekly radio address.
In the 11 months since Obama proposed his jobs bill, congressional Republicans have said the plan would be ineffective while adding to the national debt.
Obama said Republicans are pushing a budget that would cut education while giving tax breaks to the wealthy when the USA faces intense global competition for high-skill jobs.
Education cuts are "the opposite of what we should be doing as a country," Obama said. "States should be making education a priority in their budgets, even in tough fiscal times. And Congress should be willing to help out -- because this affects all of us."
The president's radio address:
Hi, everybody. This week, I spent some time traveling across Iowa talking with folks about rebuilding an economy where if you work hard, you and your family can get ahead.
And along the way, I stopped in at Cascade High School to thank the teachers there for doing such a great job -- and wish them luck as they head back to the classroom for this school year.
There's nothing more important to our country's future than the education we give our kids. And there's no one more important to that education than the person at the front of the classroom.
Teachers matter. Most work tirelessly, with modest pay, sometimes digging into their own pocket for school supplies -- just to make a difference. They give everything for our kids – and in return, we should invest in them.
But here's the thing: this year, several thousand fewer educators will be going back to school. Since 2009, we've lost more than 300,000 education jobs, in part because of budget cuts at the state and local level.
Think about what that means for our country. At a time when the rest of the world is racing to out-educate America; these cuts force our kids into crowded classrooms, cancel programs for preschoolers and kindergarteners, and shorten the school week and the school year.
That's the opposite of what we should be doing as a country. States should be making education a priority in their budgets, even in tough fiscal times. And Congress should be willing to help out -- because this affects all of us.
That's why part of the jobs bill that I sent to Congress last September included support for states to prevent further layoffs and to rehire teachers who'd lost their jobs. But here we are -- a year later with tens of thousands more educators laid off -- and Congress still hasn't done anything about it.
In fact, the economic plan that almost every Republican in Congress voted for would make the situation even worse. It would actually cut funding for education -- which means fewer kids in Head Start, fewer teachers in our classrooms, and fewer college students with access to financial aid -- all to pay for a massive new tax cut for millionaires and billionaires.
That's backwards. That's wrong. That plan doesn't invest in our future; it undercuts our future.
If we want America to lead in the 21st century, nothing is more important than giving everyone the best education possible -- from the day they start preschool to the day they start their career.
That's why we launched a national competition to improve our schools. And for less than one percent of what our nation spends on education each year, we've encouraged almost every state to raise their standards -- the first time that's happened in a generation.
That's why we've invested in math and science education, and given states more flexibility on No Child Left Behind.
And that's why we've reformed the student loan program to put students before big banks, and increased financial aid for millions of young people -- because in America, higher education cannot be a luxury; it's an economic necessity every family should be able to afford.
This is a country where no matter what you look like or where you come from, if you're willing to study and work hard, you can go as far as your talents will take you. You can make it if you try. I am only the President of the United States today because of the chance my education gave me. I want every child in America to have that chance. That's what I'm fighting for. And as long as I have the privilege of being your President, that's what I'm going to keep fighting for.
Thanks, and have a great weekend.

Bears' receiver Devin Thomas announced retirement through a message on his social account, and the team confirmed he indeed has called it quits.
"I have come to a decision to retire from the NFL," Thomas wrote Sunday morning.
Thomas sent a subsequent message in what seemed to be a reason for his call to quit.
"God has blessed me (with) achieving a childhood dream," Thomas wrote. "I want to give back to my hometown and coach/mentor kids so that they can reach their own."
Thomas declared that he'd been thinking about retiring for some considerable time, but the daily grind of training camp played a role in enticing out the decision.
"I definitely feel just like it's a weight lifted, the beginning of my true life. I am very excited to be able to live my life without anything holding me back. Betting lines
"It's something I meditated on for some time. But as I was preparing for the upcoming season, my spirit was telling me it was time to turn over a new leaf and put away this childish game idolized by so many people."
Bears coach Lovie Smith asserted he did not try to convince Thomas to stay.
"He's not with us anymore; decided he didn't want to play any more football," Smith expounded. "You don't want a fellow out here if he is not completely into football and he has a passion to play it. So it's not like I try and talk guys out of it when they've made up their minds."
A 2nd-round draft pick of the Redskins in 2008, Thomas played in 55 career games (including 11 starts) with the Redskins, Panthers and Giants, with whom he earned a Super Bowl ring in the 2011 season.
In 4 seasons in the NFL, Thomas, 25 years old, caught 43 passes for 482 yards and 3 touchdowns, in addition to returning 60 kickoffs for 1,445 yards.
The Chicago Bears signed Thomas in March to a one year contract.
The club expected Thomas to contribute principally on special groups in 2012, but his departure might clear the way for more junior players to earn register spots such as 2nd-year receiver Dane Sanzenbacher and undrafted rookie Brittan Golden.
Sanzenbacher appeared to face long odds of making the roster when the club brought in Thomas due to the new addition's abilities on special teams. Golden, in the meantime, seems to have got the attention of the training staff after powerful exercise programs early in training camp.
"It's understandable," Sanzenbacher related of Thomas' call. "Everyone is at a different point in their career, has different things going on outside of football, different private things. We do not know. We come here (and) it is like you and your co-workers. You're with them for that quantity of time, and some people like to follow other things."
Thomas sounded prepared for his next phase.
"The younger me would not have thought to retire," Thomas said. "But as I've grown spiritually, it's permitted me to see a bigger purpose in life. It isn't about the glitz and the glamour. It's about my life and making me cheerful, serving out my life's purpose, enjoying family and doing what I was called to do."

Voice alone won't win 'CMT's Next Superstar'
Singing skill is only one of the talents that will be judged in the latest musical competition, CMT's Next Superstar (Friday, 9 ET/PT).
The country contest, hosted by Thea Andrews, differs structurally from the usual TV singing competition. Rather than simply performing before an audience, five men and five women ages 22-50 will take on a range of challenges, including writing songs and making music videos.
"It's really much more of an in-depth look than I think you would traditionally get from a singing competition show," says Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Matt Serletic, the show's one permanent judge. He'll be joined on the panel each week by celebrity guests, including singers Colbie Caillat and Trace Adkins. The premiere's guests are actress/singer Kristin Chenoweth and Billboard writer Fred Bronson.
In the weekly competition, a house audience will vote for its favorites. The bottom two vote-getters have to sing to survive, with the judges deciding their fate. When the competition gets down to two finalists, viewers nationwide will vote.
"It challenges the contestants to become fully versed in all aspects of being an artist," Serletic says. "It really gets you in there learning how to deal with radio programmers, how to make a record, how to write a song under pressure. You look at these contestants, and you get to see them grow over time in more ways."
The series, based in Nashville and its surroundings, has a solid pedigree, coming from American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance executive producer Nigel Lythgoe and his son, Simon. Nigel Lythgoe likes the gritty, non-traditional structure of the series.
"We don't have a shiny floor show. We play in prisons, at military bases, in bars. It's much more what they would be doing in their career after this show," he says. "The concentration is on the songwriting, too. And we're not pinning it down to any age."
Lythgoe, who says he was especially impressed by the "rich vein" of songwriting talent shown by the competitors, isn't worried about the crowded field of musical competitions, including giant Idol and NBC's upcoming The Voice (April 26, 9 ET/PT). In the summer, America's Got Talentwill return on NBC, and Bravo's Platinum Hit, a songwriting competition featuring former Idol judge Kara DioGuardi, and an ABC series following the Karaoke World Championships USA will premiere. Simon Cowell's The X Factor will arrive on Fox in the fall.
"The public will decide," he says. " It's a bit like saying, 'Is there room for all these cop dramas on television?' If the shows are good, people will watch them. It's just the survival of the fittest."

Works are proceeding rapidly on both the A46 Bypass upgrade and the Seimen's development at Teal Park.
As can be seen from the aerial photographs attached, the Bypass upgrade works are now taking shape and the new roundabout at the Whisby Road/Kingsley Road junction is open.
Owners of the 87 acre development, Taylor Lindsey, are now, through their Sole Agents Hodgson Elkington, fielding enquiries for other occupiers moving onto the site.
Director of Taylor Lindsey Robin Taylor stated that he was delighted with the progress that is being made with both the highway upgrade and the building works on the Seimen's relocation site. "With these two elements of the project going according to plan, we will, by the end of this year, have the East Midlands Premier Employment Park up trading and open for business".
Sam Elkington, Senior Partner of Hodgson Elkington and Sole Agent for the development, stated "Now that potential occupiers of Teal Park can see development work taking place and know that the Bypass upgrade is nearing completion, they can see that this project is for real and that Lincoln really is the home of the East Midlands Premier Employment Park. We have received a number of enquiries which we are progressing and whilst it will clearly take time to bring these to fruition, it is encouraging that even in these extremely testing times, occupiers are showing genuine interest in the development."
Works on the A46 Bypass are scheduled to be completed by Autumn 2012. Work on the Seimens relocation building is scheduled also to be completed by August 2012 with an occupation of the building taking place scheduled to be in early 2013.
Teal Park extends to 87 acres and has a planning consent for 1.3 million sq ft of employment space which will include factories, offices, along with ancillary accommodation comprising, pub, hotel, showroom and leisure uses.

Follow the route of the legendary Canadian pioneers, deep into a land where bears still roam wild.
The wooden canoe skims over the smooth waters. As the paddle dips, it creates a tiny whirlpool in the boat's rippling wake. Around the sandy edge of the shore, the placid faces of moose peer out of the trees. Two lumber out and splash into the river, unconcerned by the presence of humans in a canoe. The icy water is refreshing in the heat, and provides a reprieve from mosquitoes. Behind the trees, the sides of the valley shear up towards a blue sky. The slopes are densely wooded with cedars. This is the Mont des Loups, Wolves' Mountain, in the heart of Parc de la Jacques-Cartier. here, in the wildernesses of Québec, wolves still run wild in the forests.
The first people in this area of valleys and peaks were Innu, a nomadic indigenous nation, known to the europeans as the Montagnais. In 1535, a French explorer, Jacques Cartier, arrived in St Lawrence Bay. He found diamonds and gold on the cliffs that are now Québec City. Thrilled, he headed back to Paris with his haul, and presented it with a flourish. He was laughed out of court. Despite his name, Cartier was no jeweller: he had found worthless quartz crystals and fool's gold.
In the years that followed, more Frenchmen arrived. While their English contemporaries sought to conquer, the French did not then try to take the native peoples' lands. They wanted to trade.
At the time, hats made of felted beaver fur were much desired by fashionable European gentlemen. So much so, that there were few beavers left in Europe. Canada provided a new hunting ground.
Back in the 16th Century, the point where the St Lawrence River tightens became a base for a rogue collection of hard-bitten survivalists, who spent months venturing deep into the heart of Innu territory to the trading posts at Lac St-Jean. These were the coureurs des bois, or wood runners. They were traders, and were prepared to swap weapons for furs. One rifle, stood on its end, could be exchanged for a stack of beaver pelts the same height. The coureurs des bois faced deadly rapids, canyons, blizzards, bears, wolves, and marauding Iroquois. They must have really wanted those hats.
A route carved out by a river through a valley was the main highway between Québec City and the north for the coureurs des bois. The first part of this route is now preserved as the Parc de la Jacques-Cartier, a national park of outstanding beauty. Thoughtful planning has ensured that the plentiful recreational activities here - including hiking, canoeing and fishing - have made minimal impact on the environment, and much of it still looks exactly as it did when the first europeans arrived. The canoe routes are those used by the coureurs des bois, and by the Innu and huron people with whom they traded. historic trails lead through the dense forest. Following the river up the west side of the valley is one called the Jesuit Trail, named for the French missionaries who soon began to arrive alongside the coureurs des bois.
"To the Jesuits, Amerindian society was really shocking," says Marie Coulombe, one of the park's guides. A Huron brave would present the lady of his choice with a marten pelt. If she consented, he would be allowed to move into her family's longhouse. She was permitted a two-week test drive. "Then, if she didn't like him, she just said, 'Goodbye!' and he had to leave," Marie exclaims. "Maybe she would be pregnant, but this wasn't a stigma among the Hurons. She would try another man instead. If she decided to keep him, he would be considered the baby's father. This was normal, and everybody was relaxed about it." Except for the Jesuits, who marched up this trail from Québec City to burden the locals with conservative European values.
The most popular route along the valley today is an ascent of the Mont des Loups, bounding up wooden steps and over little rivulets through a forest dappled with sunlight. Squeaking chipmunks, straight out of Snow White, gambol across the path. The mountain's wolves stay hidden, preferring to keep away from humans.
Further upriver, Marie leads the way in a thrilling scramble though a maze of overground caverns. Colossal rocks were deposited here by a glacier 10,000 years ago, propped up against each other at unlikely angles. They form a series of grottoes: some bathed in sunlight, some pitch-black, and some still filled with ice in the simmering heat of a Québec summer. In the cracks between the stones, there is here and there an eerie, electric green glow. This is schistostega, known in the park as lightning moss. "We say that there are fairies living in the caverns, and they put the lightning moss here to lure thieves away from their treasure," says Marie. An orange tree frog hops ahead of us as we emerge from the rocks back into the forest.
While the French were trading with the Innu, the English made alliances with an indigenous American league of nations, the Iroquois. Keen to secure control over the fur trade and expand their territory, the Mohawks, an Iroquois tribe, attacked huron lands. The resulting Beaver Wars raged for several years in the middle of the 17th century. equipped with firearms they had bought from Dutch traders, the Mohawks surged westwards into Ontario, driving many hurons as far as Québec City itself. In around 1675, they settled here under the name huron-Wendat, and began to challenge the Innu for control of the beaver fur trade. The clear losers in all this, of course, were the beavers, which were virtually wiped out in the lands near Québec City. The coureurs des bois were obliged to go further and further into the wilderness to seek those valuable pelts.
Plenty of Huron-Wendat people still live in the area, and there is a growing enthusiasm for rediscovering their heritage. In a secluded glade outside the park is Tsonontwan, a collection of teepees, round tents and longhouses built by Régent Garihwa Sioui, an eccentric, hippyish and amiable chief of the Huron-Wendat. This is Régent's home, and he has built the dwellings so that locals and visitors can stay, experiencing something of what life would have been like in a First nations village. Though he has a modern house at the entrance to the site, Régent often sleeps in a teepee when nobody is visiting.
Régent leads me up a narrow track to a ridge, overlooking a stunning view of the Jacques-Cartier River. He speaks with great passion about the land, and about his Huron-Wendat heritage. "We Amerindians invented democracy," he says. Most historians credit the Greeks with that, but Régent is so enthusiastic about his theory that it seems churlish to argue. "The reason America is so powerful is because of the great strength of the native people. We have taught the Euro-Americans everything."
We wander back down to the glade past Régent's house, which is guarded by a pack of huskies. "She is the most beautiful," says Régent, indicating a fearsome-looking hound. "She looks like a wolf." Actually, I think she may be a wolf. She unleashes a throaty growl. It would be a brave visitor who offered one of Régent's dogs a belly rub.
Régent bustles into the kitchen tent, keen to introduce us to First Nations cuisine. Some of Québec's indigenous people, including the Huron-Wendat, did farm vegetables and corn, but in a climate with such severe winters many survived on a hunter-gatherer diet of berries, fish, deer, moose, bear and beaver. "I prefer to eat only meat, cooked rare, and some berries," Régent says. "I can't digest vegetables."
He pours steaming cups of a herbal infusion: "Labrador tea!" After so much talk of an all-meat diet, I can't resist asking if it is made from real labradors. "No, no!" he says. "These are the dried leaves and flowers of a shrub. It is a good drink for hunters. Very calming." The infusion has a pleasant flavour not unlike camomile.
"Now, we will eat," the chief exclaims. He unveils fresh salmon he has smoked, Huron-style, on a wood frame; tender buffalo steak marinated in forest berry juice; and bannique, a rich traditional corn bread. Sated, we retire for a night sleeping as the coureurs des bois slept, on a bed of fragrant spruce branches inside a teepee.
The Parc de la Jacques-Cartier is only the beginning of the vast Laurentides Wildlife Reserve, 3,015 square miles of lakes, hills, forests and rivers stretching all the way from the outskirts of Québec City to Saguenay in the northeast. Like the coureurs de bois, the Innu and Huron-Wendat, what brings people here today is the Canadian wildlife. Most modern visitors plan only to admire it in its natural setting, not turn it into hats.
At a service station north of the Parc de la Jacques-Cartier, biologist Rolland Lemieux is preparing for an expedition. Bespectacled and middle-aged, Rolland looks completely ordinary. He is far from that. For the past 34 years, he has been the best trapper in the area. If you want to catch a lynx, a bear or even a wolf, Rolland is your man. Though he still runs licensed hunting trips in conjunction with the Canadian national parks agency, he traps animals mostly for ecological research and monitoring projects. During his career, he has trapped at least 2,000 bears alive, and returned them unharmed to the wild.
The coureurs des bois soon diversified from the beaver trade into other furs, seeking bears, foxes, wolves and raccoons. Rolland can trap anything - wolves are the biggest challenge, and he took 23 of those alive last winter - but today he is looking for bears. he drives out to a popular spot where bears congregate. he has brought a bait box with him, from which he pulls out, rather unexpectedly, a slab of cake. Bears, it seems, can't resist cake. Any particular type of cake? "Bears will eat anything," Rolland says. "Though, they're not crazy about chocolate."
He arranges the cake on the feeding post, and retreats to a hide. Sure enough, seconds later, a bear pads eagerly out of the trees and gets its paws stuck in. The bear is enormous. It moves fast, but in perfect silence. A few metres away, a porcupine nosing around some shrubs hasn't even noticed.
"It's a male," whispers Rolland. "About four years old."
The area's bears like to use the pineboard sides of the hide as a scratching post when humans are not around. Deep gouges show how fearsome those paws can be - even if the bear in the clearing is currently using his to tear into a Victoria sponge. Having demolished the cake, the bear turns and slips back into the thick foliage.
Rolland is often asked to trap bears that menace campsites and then release them back into the woods at a safe distance. he tells a story about one such bear. He shot it with a tranquilliser dart and loaded into the back of his truck to drive out to the wilderness. Halfway down the highway, it began waking up, and thrashing about. Fortunately, there is a partition between the driver's seat and the back of Rolland's truck - but it is only made of thin Plexiglass. A fully conscious bear would smash it in one swipe. "The other drivers on the road were pointing and screaming," he chuckles.
How did you get it out of the truck?
"I opened the door quickly, and jumped out of the way."
For all his nonchalant style, Rolland never lets his guard down. "Even the two-thousandth time you deal with a bear, you have to treat it like it's the first time," his assistant, Philippe, says. "It's dangerous to relax; Rolland never does. That's why he's still here."
When the coureurs des bois had collected their furs, they canoed and hiked back to what is now Québec City. The city was formally founded in 1608 by Samuel de Champlain, and is now the only walled city in the Americas north of Mexico. It had a vital strategic placement on a rocky bluff over the St Lawrence River, at the furthest point that ocean-going ships could venture from the Atlantic. The British, the French and the Americans often fought over it, and today it retains a European-edged charm.
Vieux-Québec, the old walled city, is exceptionally pretty, historic houses and chapels lining its winding streets. By the late 17th Century, as Québec City began to develop a civic identity, the fur trade began to be regulated. The coureurs des bois were licensed, and renamed the voyageurs. The days of freewheeling fortune-seekers striking out into the wilderness were over. But the legacy of the Beaver Wars between the indigenous nations, and the bitter rivalries between european settlers for control of the north American continent, were coming to an extraordinary climax. In 1756, a war broke out between Britain, Prussia and their allies on one side, and the French, the Russians and theirs on the other, that would expand across the Americas and europe, and even into parts of Africa and Asia. This was the Seven years' War, described by Winston Churchill as the first "world war" for its immense scope. Québec City became the scene of one of the most crucial battles in world history.
Alongside the newer part of the city, stretching from the old fort past the fashionable Avenue Cartier and the elegant Museum of Fine Arts, are the Plains of Abraham. It was here, in 1759, that the famous battle (of the same name) was fought. Sitting now on lawns, amid well-tended flowerbeds and chattering picnickers, it is hard to imagine the British Army swarming onto this plain to attack the French, the smoke of gunfire forming a thick haze among the trees, the slashing of bayonets, and the screaming of the wounded. Today, it is blissfully quiet - though back in town, on the elegant Rue St-Louis, there is a cannonball still wedged in the roots of a tree that is said to date from that battle.
What had begun with a fashion for hats ended with the fall of a mighty empire. The British victory in Québec was the beginning of the end for the French in North America. But Québec City remains, even 250 years later, a monument to that lost world - and a gateway to a wilderness that is still very much untamed.
Getting there
Air Canada has flights from London Heathrow to Québec City, connecting in Ottawa or Montréal (from £450 return).
Getting around
Québec City is best explored on foot as the old city has a one-way system and little parking. But you'll need to rent a car for day trips (from £20 per day).

HSRP on LAN and WAN interface
I currently use L3 switches as edge routers to my WAN. I want to use a pair of 3560x switches with IPbase to provide a failover path to my WAN using HSRP at one location but had some problems testing the configuration. My plan is use a virtual address on the LAN interface (VLANx which port gi0/1 accesses) and the WAN interface (VLANy which port gi0/24 accesses). I want switch 1 to be primary since it will have an IPS attached to it, and switch 2 will be backup and used only when switch 1 or the IPS requires maintenance. On both the LAN and WAN sides there is no advanced routing going on, the various hosts just depend on the availability of their respective default gateways, so HSRP should be sufficient to provide a failover in either direction.
In my testing I got 1 or the other link to fail over but not the entire switch. What should my config look like to achieve failover of the entire switch in the event 1 or the other interface goes down, and fail back when the primary links are again available?

As children, the lessons we learn from our parents stick with us our entire life. My mother was never shocked when I would bring home another animal. She taught me I can't keep them all and I learned to "rehome" at an early age. That lesson has stuck with me, shaped me and brought me to the amazing place I'm at now.
I train, rescue, foster and rehome animals. In doing that, I've been able to help a lot of people keep their animals through education about canine body language, animal behavior and essentially being the boss or pack leader.
Sometimes pet parents get so frustrated with their dog and think getting rid of that dog is the only solution when it could be something as simple as teaching boundaries.
That's where I can help and where I want to help. My passion is helping people keep their dogs in their home and everyone being at peace. I understand that some people want a dog that knows 100 tricks, but sometimes a well-behaved pet is enough. My focus is finding out what you want from your dog and what is the healthiest and safest way possible to make that happen.
For example, my husband and I have six dogs — an English mastiff, bull mastiff, Neapolitan mastiff, Fila Brasileiro (also known as a Brazilian mastiff), a great dane and a pit bull.
Our English mastiff isn't expected to do the same things as our Fila, and we don't train her to do the same things.
My husband uses the Fila as his demonstration dog for dog training. She has to pop and lock when told what to do because it's her job. The only thing I require of my English mastiff is to be a surrogate mom to puppies we rescue and be well-behaved.
What we require of them is completely different and how we train them is completely different. But how we love them is exactly the same — consistently and with fairness. They both work hard at their jobs and we love them equally, therefore their positions in our pack are not in jeopardy. The same goes for every animal in our house. It's the only way we can foster and rescue as many dogs as we do.
I've been offered a wonderful opportunity to help our community now by writing an advice column for pet owners. If you have any questions about training or need help with dog-behavior issues, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I will do my best to answer your questions here in a future column. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

your health, you have nothing,
Mother used to say. That was very true, indeed,
And so it is today. Yet how does one maintain their
Through food, I do believe. Itll nourish the body
and nurture the soul
In its subtle, profound way. But how does one cook healthy
Ah, the easiest part of all! And if one really truly
Bad habits will fall, fall, fall.
It is a pity Mother did not apply her wisdom to her
cooking.We were raised, like most everyone else, on
the Standard American Diet. In mid-century America,
there was no information, no warnings about the harmful
effects of hydrogenated oils, processed sugar, sodium
chloride or pesticides. In fact,
food was hardly attributed to illness. Mother was a
victim of the times.
Then, in the early seventies, the shift
toward more conscious food choices began and I eagerly
followed. As my diet gradually changed toward more plant-based
foods, my attitude and my health began to improve and
my life took another direction. My passion to learn
more about the healing nature of
foods led me to the Far East and to Europe where I lived
for twelve years.
I studied macrobiotic cooking in harmony
with Taoist principles under the guidance of my mentor,
Mayli. I express these insightful teachings through
my cooking, which I hope will inspire other seekers
of health and lovers of great cuisine. Happy stomach!
All about Coconut
The coconut palm is one of the oldest
trees on the planet and has existed since the age of
the dinosaurs. It flourishes in tropical climates from
Southeast Asia to Polynesia, India, the Pacific Islands,
Hawaii, the Caribbean, southern California and South
Revered as the most useful tree on earth, the coconut
palm has generously provided civilizations with all
their needs to survive. Its roots, fronds and trunk
are used for shelter, light, furniture, and household
utensils. But its most sacred part is its fruit, the
coconut. A hard outer green shell protects its precious
nut-like seed that is covered in a hairy brown husk.
This husk provides fuel for cooking, fiber for clothing
and a rope, which is stronger than hemp. Within this
seed lies the true essence of the coconut palm - its
water, meat and oil - its life giving force.
During the months that this seed matures, it goes through
two major stages: first the young coconut, with its
soft, jelly-like meat and sweet revitalizing water that
quenches thirst and provides energy; the second and
most potent stage produces the mature nut. After harvesting
the nut and removing the water, workers shell the nuts
by hand. The inner skin, a thin brown layer, is cut
away leaving pure thick, white coconut meat. The milk
and cream are used for the ubiquitous curry sauces and
desserts, and the oil is used for cooking, body massage,
to nourish the skin, nails and hair and applied topically
on wounds to speed healing.
The coconut has always been prized for its medicinal
qualities. Yet, it also has the reputation as an aphrodisiac
because of its ability to stimulate the production of
hormones in both the male and female. When used as body
oil and blended with stimulating spices such as cayenne
pepper, it acts as a carrier to circulate the blood
and to stimulate the organs, while its aromatic scent
enhances the senses.
The highly mineral-charged coconut water acts to detoxify
the kidneys, which indirectly affects its neighbors,
the reproductive organs. Healthy kidneys are believed
to promote a vibrant, healthy attitude, which expresses
itself through the normal, healthy desire for sexual
and emotional fulfillment. In a greater sense, this
cycle is the silent call of nature to preserve the species.
After years of research, western medicine has just
recently confirmed the profound healing properties of
coconut, dispelling decades of misleading information.
According to the results of these findings, coconut's
unique form of saturated fat actually helps prevent
heart disease, stroke and hardening of the arteries.
Unlike other oils and fats, coconut oil contains a large
amount of the fatty acid known as lauric acid, which
is the predominant fatty acid found in mother's milk.
The lauric acid makes breast milk easily digestible,
it strengthens the immune system and protects against
viral, bacterial and fungal infections. Studies have
shown coconut oil's effectiveness with HIV, SARS, Crohn's
Disease, as well as other chronic illnesses. It detoxifies
the liver, helps to build lipoproteins, fats and hormones
and bile, which is necessary for digestion. Coconut's
amazing healing properties are also attributed to reducing
the risk of other degenerative conditions such as cancer,
osteoporosis, and diabetes.
The medium chain fatty acids help to create a healthy
digestive tract, which in turn allows for better digestion
and absorption of the nutrients in our foods. They also
speed up metabolism providing an immediate source of
energy while supplying fewer calories than other fats
making it the oil of choice for weight loss and hypothyroidism.
Coconut oil also helps protect against skin cancer and
other blemishes, and helps prevent premature aging and
wrinkling. As a cooking oil, it is highly resistant
to heat and spoilage. In fact, coconut oil has been
called "the healthiest dietary oil on earth".
Most coconut oil sold in markets is refined. The excessive
heat, bleaching and chemical solvents used in the refining
process creates a thick, yellowish-white product that
is tasteless and odorless. Only the organic, extra virgin,
expeller or hand pressed coconut oil retains its white
color, light texture and mild taste, and has the scent
of fresh coconut.
Coconut oil is truly an ideal food: It is not hydrogenated,
contains no trans fats and has a long shelf life. It
is a wonderful substitute for butter or margarine and
because it does not revert to trans fatty acids when
heated, it is a healthy choice for cooking.
Coconut oil can be substituted for any other oil. Here
are two simple and tasty recipes.
Coconut Fried Tofu -

1/2 lb. (225 grams) firm or extra firm tofu
coconut oil for frying

I was hoping this was an Australian Swamp Rat, but the white belly and pointy snout rule that out pretty well. Good climber, though.
Norway rats not known for their climbing ability, but it does look a bit that way. Long tail though.
Let's see, for native rodents, Parks Tasmania has:
Water Rat Hydromys chrysogaster
Long-tailed Mouse Pseudomys higginsi
New Holland Mouse Pseudomys novaehollandiae
Broad-toothed Mouse Mastacomys fucus
Swamp Rat Rattus lutreolus
Of those it's obviously not a Water Rat. Swamp Rat has tail 2/3 of body + head length, very small ears, and a short nose. New Holland Mouse is pink-tailed and not so large-bodied. Long-tailed Mouse: "lives mainly in Southern Beech rainforests where annual rainfall may exceed 2000mm... It is also found a little beyond the rainforest in dense, wet sclerophyll forests and deep fern gullies" which is nothing like this area of sea-level wetland surrounded by farmland. Broad-toothed Mouse has a tail shorter than head+body, dusky feet and belly, and is described with words like "tubby" and "chubby-cheeked."
So I don't think it's any of those. I've seen definite Brown Rats (they were huge) climbing around on power lines before, but I don't know how agile they are overall. I have a lot more photos of this fellow so I'll put up some better profile ones.
It was also quite unafraid-- these photos are with a small point-and-shoot with no zoom.
Found a bunch of things saying that Black Rats have tails markedly longer than their bodies, semi-prehensile tails, and narrow pointed snouts, so I'll go with that.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/2/2010 (2721 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
NEW YORK -- Like many of the athletes vying for gold in Vancouver, Stephen Colbert's Olympic training has been eventful.
He has already auditioned for the U.S. bobsled, speedskating and curling teams. He has angered a sizable portion of Canada. And he has landed on the cover of Sports Illustrated's Olympic preview.
Now, he's preparing for the big event. While The Colbert Report is in repeats next week, the comedian will be in Vancouver for the first week of the Olympics. He'll be there recording a wealth of material for his show (to air beginning Feb. 22), attending events, conducting interviews and doing a kind of half-show from a stage set up outside the Olympic centre.
"We'll bring snow because I don't think Vancouver has any," he said in an interview, taking a swipe at the city's sometimes watery precipitation.
When the U.S. speedskating team lost its primary sponsor last fall (the Dutch bank DSB went bankrupt), the Report stepped in with a novel idea. The show's ardent fans had previously raised sizable amounts of money for charity, and the show suggested that the Colbert Nation could sponsor the skaters.
Fan donations filled the shortfall by raising more than $300,000. "Colbert Nation" is branded on the team's suits and Colbert has had an active relationship with the squad.
The team has largely responded with gratitude. On his Comedy Central show, Colbert autographed the leg of speedskater Katherine Reutter, on her request. Robert Crowley, executive director of U.S. Speedskating, says Colbert has brought "great attention to our sport." Apolo Anton Ohno has also applauded Colbert's humour.
"Our country is kind of in need of some humour right now, and it's all for a good cause," Ohno said.
But many Canadians have been put off by Colbert's frequent mockery. As a pseudo pundit, Colbert likes to elevate the U.S. above all other countries, making the Olympics prime fodder for parodic patriotism.
He has called Canadians "syrup-suckers," "Saskatche-whiners," and said Canadian history is a euphemism for a sex act so depraved, he can't say it on TV.

Myra is an ancient town in Lycia. The small town of Kale (Demre) is situated near it today. It is in Antalya Province of Turkey. It was located on the river Myros (Demre Çay), in the fertile alluvial plain between Alaca Dağ, the Massikytos range and the Aegean Sea.
Nicholas of Myra (also known as Saint Nicholas) did many things there.
