Mesker Park Zoo and Botanic Garden officials say it was the humane thing to do. They euthanized Daphne, a 19 year old lioness. Zoo Director Amos Morris says the big cat had to be humanely euthanized. Morris says it was a difficult decision, but watching Daphne's failing health, severe arthritis and recent loss of appetite let zoo workers know that it was her time. He said they decided they would not let her suffer unnecessarily. Morris says no decision has been made to replace Daphne.

European Painting before 1900, Johnson Collection Ptarmigan in a Landscape Made in England, EuropeBy 1833 Sir Edwin Landseer, English, 1802 - 1873 Oil on panel * Gallery 294, European Art 1500-1850, second floor 1986-26-280 The Henry P. McIlhenny Collection in memory of Frances P. McIlhenny, 1986 |
LabelTwo ptarmigans, the favorite birds of sport in Scotland, have been shot by a hunter. While the male dies, his wounded mate continues to guard the nest. Landseer often used animals to comment on the human condition. Here, birds that mate for life are made to represent the tragic impact of violence on love and the strength of familial commitment.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |

Front-wheel drive "pulls" the vehicle forward. For this reason, a front-wheel-drive car is in principle more controllable and tracks better than conventional rear-wheel drive. On slippery roads in particular, the front-wheel-drive car has an advantage over rear-wheel drive because the weight of the engine is over the driven wheels, thereby increasing traction. Today almost 80 percent of the world's passenger cars have front-wheel drive. Audi models feature either FrontTrak® front-wheel drive or quattro® permanent all-wheel drive.

text: Daniel Carbonella '04TCB, '05MBA doesn't consider himself a typical CPA. And his clients really appreciate it.Carbonella is currently a Tax Manager at Daszkowski, Tompkins and Weg, a Staten Island CPA firm with expertise in accounting, tax preparation and tax planning, with an emphasis on doing financial planning for individuals. The firm is known for its proactive approach to accounting, a commitment that this energetic young professional has embraced as his own. "As soon as we find out about a proposed new tax law that might impact our clients, I like to give our clients a little heads up so that they're ready to prepare for any eventualities, even a year in advance. If we know that certain tax laws are going into effect in a few months, we can do certain things in advance that can help our clients deal with the impending situation. Whenever I have information that may be helpful to a client, either in the short- or long-term, I make certain that I reach out to them as soon as possible." He credits his person-centered client approach to the experiences he had as a student on the Staten Island campus of St. John's University. It was there that he came to realize that everyone has the right to be treated with respect and as an individual, rather than simply as someone with issues to be dealt with. "It was always very friendly at St. John's," he recalled, "almost like a family atmosphere where the students interacted with each other very well and the professors were totally accessible. I always felt engaged with the University, and had a real sense that I was valued as a person rather than simply as a student. That's the attitude I've always taken with my clients. One of the most important things that I can do is sit a client down and get to know him or her as a person. That way of treating people all started at St. John's." For this outgoing double alumnus, the decision to attend St. John's was nearly a foregone conclusion. A number of his relatives were graduates, and the University's proximity to Manhattan offered a wide range of networking opportunities and career possibilities, both of which were an integral component of his undergraduate and graduate Accounting programs. "During my Junior and Senior years we met with many representatives from accounting firms," he noted. "That made it easier for me when I was going out into the job world, because I already knew many people at these firms, and those contacts made for a much smoother transition for me when I was interviewing with them. At St. John's I learned that it was not only important to network, it was equally important to know whom to network with. Besides educating me on the academic side of Accounting, the University gave me a real taste of what the industry was like." And it's an industry that he has come to love. He got the first taste of his future career when he began working at his current firm during his Freshman year at St. John's. He remained there throughout his five years as a student, only leaving after graduation to accept a position in Manhattan. When his former firm made him an offer three years later, he was grateful for the opportunity to return to the where everything always felt like home. Carbonella believes in giving back, and willingly shares his professional expertise with other members of the St. John's community, particularly by providing tax information to alumni and friends of the University as a guest panelist at "Meet the Experts" estate planning seminars. It's a practical way for him to show his appreciation for what was done for him when he was a student. "It's important to realize that sometimes when we're going to school, we think all that matters is to work hard and do what we have to do to succeed. But once I graduated I realized that there were a lot of people who helped me along the way, especially the professors and the alumni. And now that I'm an alumnus myself, I realize how important it is to give back and help out. Whether students or alumni, we're all connected to St. John's. That makes us a part of one big family, so if I can help them in whatever ways I can, I'm more than happy to do so."

An unexpectedly robust jobs report Friday could push Wall Street into yet another record-setting gain.
U.S. stock futures were higher ahead of the opening bell.
The U.S. government reported that 236,000 jobs were added to the economy in February, and the unemployment rate dropped to 7.7% from 7.9%. That was much better than the 170,000 and 7.8% expected by economists surveyed by CNNMoney.
The strengthening U.S. economy, and particularly job growth, has helped push stocks to new highs.
The Dow finished at a new record Thursday, as the blue chip index and the S&P 500 advanced for a fifth straight day.
Online music streaming firm Pandora Media reported better-than-expected quarterly sales and announced that its CEO will be stepping down. Pandora's shares soared in premarket trading.
Athletic shoe retailer Foot Locker reported a significant increase in sales and profit for the fourth quarter. But its stock dipped 4% in premarket trading.
Citigroup's shares gained more than 2% in premarket trading, following news that the bank passed the Fed's stress test to gauge if it could weather another recession. Morgan Stanley ,JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs Group also passed the tests.
European markets were strong in midday trading, fueled by encouraging U.S. jobs data, while Asian markets ended mixed. The Shanghai Composite lost 0.2% and the Hang Seng added 1.4%. Japan's Nikkei increased 2.6% after the yen extended losses and revised data showed the country's economy has pulled out of a shallow recession.

He had been guarding the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, as he'd done many other days -- with commitment and professionalism. She had gone there to have tea with the ambassador, a respected television journalist set to renew acquaintances with a diplomat and do her job.
Then came the blast.
Whether or not they'd crossed paths before, these two people's stories now forever will be intertwined -- thanks to a man Turkish authorities say belonged to the Marxist Leninist organization known as the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party, or DHKP-C, which the U.S. government and others label a terrorist organization.
Ecevit Sanli, as he was identified by Istanbul police, died after detonating his bomb near the embassy's Gate No. 2 around 1:15 p.m. (6:15 a.m. ET) Friday.
So, too, did the Turkish guard -- described by U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardone as a "hero," and identified by Turkey's semi-official Anadolu News Agency as Mustafa Akarsu.
A photo showed the journalist being carried away on a stretcher, apparently bleeding. Rather than sitting with her for tea, Ricciardone visited the woman -- Didem Tuncay -- at Ankara's Numune Hospital, and afterward described her as "one of the best."
While theories have been floated, neither Turkish nor U.S. authorities have detailed why they think Sanli blew himself up. Prior to Friday, he was known to U.S. and other intelligence agencies, a U.S. law enforcement source told CNN.
Whatever Sanli's rationale, the explosion spurred security clampdowns at diplomatic facilities in Turkey, plus messages of condolences and solidarity. Turkish Prime Minster Recep Tayyip Erdogan called it an attack "against the peace and welfare of our country."
Yet the violence reverberated well beyond Turkey's borders, however, especially in the nation whose embassy was targeted.
The spotlight on U.S. diplomatic installations was already intense after violence last September in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya, where Ambassador Christopher Stevens was one of four Americans killed in Benghazi.
U.S. Rep. Ed Royce said Friday's explosion in Turkey served as "yet another stark reminder of the constant terrorist threat against U.S. facilities, personnel and interests aboard."
"Coming after Benghazi, it underscores the need for a comprehensive review of security at our diplomatic posts," said Royce, a California Republican and chairman of House Foreign Affairs Committee.
'He exploded at the guard'
The bomber had first gone to the rear access of the embassy, then went to a checkpoint on the building's perimeter where IDs are checked, explained U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland. According to law enforcement sources working on the investigation, Sanli blew himself up on a walkway for embassy employees and their guests.
"He exploded at the guard," Nuland explained.
The guard, Akarsu, on one side of the security barrier was killed. Two guards on the other side of the glass survived, said the State Department spokeswoman.
The blast blew a hole in what appeared to be a building that is part of the compound's outer gate, images from CNN sister network CNN Turk showed. This was all part of a large complex that includes blast doors, reinforced windows and a series of metal detectors that visitors must navigate before reaching embassy offices.
The attack stirred swift condemnations, as well as fresh security precautions. The U.S. Embassy in Ankara subsequently put out a statement telling Americans not to visit that facility or U.S. consulates in Istanbul or Adana "until further notice."
Portions of Paris Avenue, where the targeted embassy is located, were shut down, according to Anadolu news. Germany and France, meanwhile, were among the countries who tightened their security in the wake of the blast.
The U.S. ambassador said in a statement that he'd "paid my respects to the family of the Turkish hero who stood guard for us every day."
Calling him "well trained (and) committed to his job," Ricciardone praised the late guard as a "good, excellent, professional guard" who "died defending the Turks and the Americans who work at the embassy."
The ambassador also talked about visiting Tuncay, whom he recalled was "the first person to interview me when I arrived two years ago at NTV." Having learned she'd recently left the Turkish network, Ricciardone said he invited her to tea.
"She serves her country by getting the truth to the Turkish people," the ambassador said. "She, I think, is one of the best."
Not first brush with terror for Turkey, U.S.
Friday's blast was hardly Turkey's first brush with terror.

Top places the world's students want to live, work
19% say they would prefer to work in U.S. post-graduation
The United States' economic ills and sputtering employment landscape have done little to dampen college students' enthusiasm about living and working in the country.
In a survey of 4,341 students across the globe, 19 percent of respondents said they would prefer to work in the U.S. post-graduation over any other country, according to Universum, a recruiting, branding and research firm.
"It's still the dream to come to the United States, where there will be unlimited opportunities," said Melissa Murray Bailey, president of Universum Americas.
Students gave a variety of reasons for wanting to make the U.S. their home if offered a job there.
"I feel great affection for the country and I see great opportunities for growth," said one student. Meanwhile another noted, "It's the biggest economy on the planet and home of the biggest enterprises as well."
Other English-speaking nations were among the most popular destinations. The United Kingdom came in second, with 12 percent of the vote, followed by Australia, with 8 percent, and Canada at 6 percent. Germany, also at 6 percent, was the top non-English destination, followed by France, Switzerland, Sweden, Japan, and Spain.
Bailey attributed the dominance of English-speaking nations to almost-universal use of the language. "No matter where they're from, most students have had to learn English," she said.
Among cities, New York topped Universum's list, with 15 percent of students saying they would want to relocate to the city if offered a job there. London, came in second with 11 percent, and San Francisco, Paris and Sydney all tied for third with 4 percent each. Others in the top 10 were Berlin, Stockholm, Hong Kong, Los Angeles and Singapore.
The job prospects in most of these markets have not been very robust, but many students still thought opportunities were available in their field. Business students, for example, cited finance jobs as a reason to find New York and London attractive. IT majors named San Francisco because of all the software and dot-com companies based in the area.
But there were a litany of other reasons students were drawn to these cities.
New York's diversity, for example, makes the city a magnet. "(Students) know the city is not homogenous," said Bailey. "They think, 'In New York, even if I'm different, there will be a lot of people like me.'"
Students also cited New York's culture, opportunities to network, and entertainment venues. Most students, though, focused on career advancement.
"This city has more publishing houses than any other place in the world," said one pragmatic English major.
London devotees mentioned its "awesome culture" and its history. They also noted its close proximity to Europe for travel.
Those who preferred Sydney talked more about lifestyle: They liked the idea of living right near the beach.
For Paris lovers, the city's beauty is the biggest draw.
While some students just wanted to stay close to home, a vast majority were willing to pack up and go. The survey revealed that 95 percent would either absolutely or possibly be willing to work abroad.
About a quarter of the students surveyed were from the U.S., who generally displayed less desire to live abroad, said Bailey. Meanwhile, foreign students regard a stint overseas as a "rite of passage," she said.
Besides New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, the other top 10 U.S. cities students said they would like to move to included Chicago, Boston, Washington, Seattle, San Diego, Atlanta, and Denver.
Universum surveyed the students between October 2012 and January 2013. Their average age was 23.7 years and their most common fields of study were business (32 percent), engineering (20 percent), humanities (17 percent) and natural sciences (12 percent).

Springfield Series Multi Point Patio Trim with European Mortise and 85 mm Center to Center from the Estates Collection
This is made specifically for multipoint doors and is a Trim Only. Product includes Interior and Exterior Trim with Lever and Cylinder (if Keyed Entry Function) Only.
The Springfield Series Multi-point trim, as part of the Baldwin Estate Collection, is crafted with a superior quality of finishes, while providing a unique traditional design and distinct flowing style. Equipped with the curved 5455 wave metal lever, the rounded design of this solid forged brass patio function handleset creates a sense of grace and dignity that leave a lasting impression. The Springfield Series provides more than an appealing sleek design, as its function emulates form with its multi-point construction and various latching points that create an extra level of stability and security for an added peace of mind.
Patio Function: Similar to a privacy function handleset where a door can be locked from the inside, the patio function adds another level of protection as there is no emergency release on the outside; which enables it to be used for egress applications. Most commonly used for patios and balconies that are not the primary entryways to your home, patio handlesets are a secure and convenient choice.

text: In the midst of recovering from Hurricane Sandy and a fall northeaster, St. John's University paused last week to honor the courageous men and women who serve in our nation's armed forces at its annual Veteran's Day celebration. Though it is traditionally held in front of St. Augustine Hall on the Queens campus, the weather forced a change of venue for the November 8 ceremony to the D'Angelo Center. But inclement weather and a gasoline shortage failed to discourage the 150 guests in attendance, including veterans and their spouses, ROTC cadets, students, faculty and members of the community.Staten Island campus Photo GalleryQueens campus Photo Gallery Following opening remarks by Reverend James J. Maher, C.M., Executive Vice President for Mission and Student Service, a wreath commemorating those who lost their lives in service to their country was laid at the D'Angelo Center fireplace by Joseph Sciame '71Ed, Vice President for Community Relations, and Lieutenant Colonel Joseph Pishock, Commanding Officer of St. John's University's ROTC Unit.A separate ceremony was held the following day at the University's Staten Island campus, which also included a wreath-laying ceremony by the flagpole on the Great Lawn as "Taps" was played. At the Queens campus, Lt. Col. Pishock reminded everyone that Veteran's Day is an opportunity to remember the thousands who have died and the millions who have fought for our country. During the ceremony, a new Student Veterans Organization was introduced and a donation was presented to them from the Dime Savings Bank. Following each campus ceremony, veterans, ROTC cadets and guests were invited to a special luncheon. Mr. Sciame conveyed the University's appreciation to the many alumni who have served in the military. Exposure to these heroic men and women, he said, serves as a powerful example to St. John's students who had the chance to interact with them. "As a veteran myself, I am always honored to organize these annual ceremonies. They celebrate the goodness of the men and women of America who wear the uniform."

In 1974, a beautician, a physician, a massage instructor and an aromatherapist united to create a line of skin care products as unique as the needs of your complexion. Their goal was to make it easy for women to obtain beautiful skin by giving them what they called the golden key or "Le Clé en Or." This idea of helping women unlock their natural potential for a gorgeous complexion inspired the brand name, Decleor. Today, the Parisian skin care brand is a leader in creating new, 100 percent natural solutions for the skin.
International Customers: Decleor products cannot be shipped outside of the United States.
Decleor Paris offers products that avoid harsh chemicals, artificial colorants, chemical preservatives, synthetic fragrance and chemical sunscreens wherever possible. |

Decleor Skin Care
The Decleor approach to beauty involves treating the entire body along with the skin. By improving your health and emotional well-being through aromatherapy, the brand's products can actually help you to feel better as well as look better. The collection is well known for its lineup of treatment products, which use natural ingredients to address problems like sagging skin, environmental stress, dark under eye circles, chapped lips and even tired legs. Start shopping the Decleor range to find natural solutions to all of your skin care concerns.
In 1974, the company was formed under the name Cleor, which means the "Golden Key that opens the Temple of Beauty." Experts from a variety of fields — beauty, medicine, aromatherapy and physiotherapy — combined their specialized knowledge and holistic approach to create innovative plant-based products for spas. In 1984, the name was changed to Decleor. Since then, Decleor has become the world's largest beauty Aromatherapy brand. As a company that practices what it preaches, Decleor has worked toward preserving the ecosystem in Madagascar and enhancing the living conditions of the local populations since 2008.
Decleor is headquartered in France and strives towards offering products with a high concentration of pure and natural active plant botanicals, avoiding artificial colorants and fragrances. While originally developed for spa use, aromatherapy has gained recognition for its multitude of benefits, leaving Decleor to pave the way towards using the science of aromatherapy on a daily basis for healthier skin. Decleor has invested heavily in product development to deliver skin care that is clinically proven to effectively treat and maintain all skin types as well as many skin conditions.

National recognition for two Hampshire County Council projects
Thusday, 14 March 2013
Two innovative Hampshire County Council projects were finalists last night at a prestigious national award ceremony in London. (Wednesday 13 March 2013)
The LGC 2013 Awards celebrate the greatest achievements from across local government in England.
'Dancing their way out of trouble into success' told the story of how the Wessex Dance Academy is transforming the lives of some of Hampshire's young people, who have offended or are at risk of offending, have been excluded from mainstream education, or are looked after children. Run in conjunction with Hampshire County Council's Youth Offending Team and a professional dance company, the Academy raises self esteem, builds confidence and shows young people they can succeed through a 12-week intensive dance programme. The Academy also helps graduates return to education, training or employment. Early indications of success are testimony to the transformational power of the arts.
'Connecting even faster and further' showed how Hampshire County Council and Virgin Media Business transformed the UK's first Public Services Network into one of the most ambitious telecommunications projects of its time. The HPSN2 project allows over one thousand public sector organisations across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight shared access to innovative IT services, saving an incredible £1 million every year. As well as saving money, the core network now underpins 15 local authorities, 52 Hampshire Fire and Rescue sites, 800 schools, colleges and voluntary organisations, and allows over 20,000 public sector staff access to information from any site, at any time and from mobile devices on the move.
The Leader of Hampshire County Council, Councillor Ken Thornber, said he was very proud that the authority had received this recognition:
"This double accolade is testimony to the creativity and vision of forward looking staff who work in a very modern business. Hampshire County Council has long been recognised as a top performing local authority and the work showcased at last night's awards ceremony also demonstrates what an exciting place this is to work.
"Transforming the lives of troubled young people is a big task but the Wessex Dance Academy has shown how a unique opportunity and a positive focus for their lives can help them achieve through hard work, dedication and commitment. At the end of their 12 week programme they give a very moving public performance where they dance in front of hundreds of people at a major Hampshire arts venue. It is often the first time that anyone has applauded them or praised them for anything that they have done. For many of them it's a realisation that they can turn their lives around and do better in life.
"I'm equally proud of how our IT systems and know-how are transforming the way we do business in the public sector. HSPN2 has exceeded all expectations in facilitating a more mobile, flexible and modern public service and continues to be a blueprint for national success as a lead for the Government's national PSN programme.
"Whether it's an arts programme for troubled young people or a major IT initiative Hampshire County Council is rightly proud of its national reputation thanks to the dedication and contribution of its staff."
