Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Organ Transplant
What is an organ transplant?
An organ transplant replaces a failing organ with a healthy organ. A doctor will remove an organ from another person and place it in your body. This may be done when your organ has stopped working or stopped working well because of disease or injury.
Not all organs can be transplanted. Organs most often transplanted include:
- The kidney , because of diabetes, polycystic kidney disease, lupus, or other problems.
- The liver , because of cirrhosis, which has many causes.
- The heart , because of coronary artery disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and other heart problems.
- The pancreas , because of diabetes.
- The lung , because of cystic fibrosis, COPD, and other problems.
- The small intestine, because of short bowel syndrome caused by necrotizing enterocolitis, Crohn's disease, and other problems. An intestine transplant is sometimes an option if you have problems with total parenteral nutrition (TPN).
More than one organ can be transplanted at one time. For example, a heart and lung transplant is possible.
Not everyone is a good candidate for an organ transplant. Your doctor or a transplant center will do tests to see if you are. You probably are not a good candidate if you have an infection, heart disease that is not under control, a drug or alcohol problem, or another serious health problem.
If your tests show you are a good candidate, you are put on a waiting list. It may be days, months, or years before a transplant takes place.
How successful is an organ transplant?
Organ transplants have been done in the United States since the 1950s. The procedure is always improving, and transplants are more successful today than ever before. Organ transplant success depends on:
- Which organ is transplanted.
- How many organs are transplanted. For example, you could have a heart transplant or a heart and lung transplant.
- The disease that has caused your organ to fail.
How do you prepare for an organ transplant?
First, you'll need to have blood and tissue tests done that will be used to match you with a donor. This is because your immune system may see the new organ as foreign and reject it. The more matches you have with the donor, the more likely your body will accept the donor organ.
You'll need to take care of your health. Continue to take your medicines as prescribed and get regular blood tests. Follow your doctor's directions for eating and exercising. You also may want to talk with a psychiatrist, psychologist, or licensed mental health counselor about your transplant.
To learn more about what happens, talk to someone who has had a transplant. Your transplant center or doctor can give you the name of someone who is willing to share his or her experience with you.

A medical opinion on the PM's brain
I read in the paper earlier today that the Wire Brush has been put on the South Beach Diet by his wife. Sheesh! I thought, more reasons to feel contempt for Martin. First, he's fallen for a stupid fad diet, and second, he's under the thumb of his wife. (I'm continually amazed at how my opinion of him still manages to drop, day after day. How low can he go?)
But this diet may be affecting more than just the already low opinions of him from chauvinistic junk-science critics. He may be impairing his ability to think:
"Cutting carbohydrates means he's also cutting his cognitive functions," said Beth Mansfield, a registered dietician and fitness specialist with Peak Performance of Ottawa.This would explain a lot..."That can't help a man like the prime minister think straight."

Danielle Staub to Return to Bravo's REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NJ Next Season
REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY, Bravo, Reality TV
According to the NY Post, Danielle Staub will make a return appearance to Bravo's REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY when the reality series returns next season. A source close to the show told In Touch, "Bravo has offered Danielle a contract. Danielle is contemplating whether this will be full-time or part-time." Another show insider added, "She will be filming several episodes."
"The producers squeezed all the juice they could from the Giudices-versus-Gorgas story line and had to think of a fresh outlet for drama," the source tells In Touch. "Having [Danielle] back on will ruffle a lot of feathers!"
Staub was booted from the reality series after the second season due to her inability to get along with other cast members. Last year her appearance in a widely circulated sex tape caused a stir.
According to the report, filming on the next season has commenced and will include footage of the housewives dealing with the devastating results of Hurricane Sandy, which hit the Garden State last month.

Here's a look at what made news in our communities:
Hermosa Beach
Authorities called off search operations early Monday morning after an unidentified man allegedly jumped from the Hermosa Beach Pier prompting a full-scale search of the surrounding waters.
The Thelen era of operation of the Mermaid restaurant and cocktail bar ended Monday morning at 2. The legendary local hangout's fate became quite the conversation piece late last week after the pubic learned the restaurant and the entire L-shaped property it is part of soon would close escrow and could be developed into a hotel.
Entrepreneurial Hermosa Beach resident Terresa Zimmerman creates a line of fashionable men's underwear that even women wear. Team Wood, clad in her signature orange brief, makes its debut at the Charlie Saikley 6-Man Beach Volleyball Tournament in Manhattan Beach, creating a bit of buzz and eye candy.
Update on a local man who was arrested in Manhattan Beach in March during a sting operation at a public restroom on the beach at Marine Avenue.
Redondo Beach
: A 58-year-old Redondo Beach man was fatally struck by a vehicle while waiting at a bus stop in front of in North Redondo Beach on Saturday, according to members of the .
A Hollywood artist has taken responsibility for the image painted on a Torrance Chick-fil-A on Hawthorne Boulevard near the Redondo Beach border. Manny Castro told the Huffington Post in an exclusive interview that he spray-painted "Tastes like hate" and a picture of a cow on the side of the eatery at 18200 Hawthorne Blvd. early Friday morning
Two gunmen robbed a on Aviation Boulevard in North Redondo Beach and fled with about $675 in cash from the store's cash registers and a customer's wallet shortly before 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, according to Lt. Joe Hoffman.
Manhattan Beach
Los Angeles Lakers forward Matt Barnes was out on bail today after being arrested on suspicion of threatening a police officer Monday night. Barnes, 32, was arrested around 8:30 p.m. in the 100 block of Manhattan Beach Boulevard, said Manhattan Beach police Lt. Steve Tobias.
Crowds were scant and the fog lingered during the first few hours of the Charlie Saikley 6-Man Beach Volleyball Tournament in Manhattan Beach on Tuesday. By mid-afternoon, the crowd had increased to an estimated 3,000, turning the tournament a tad more spirited and festive but still a far cry from its 2011 madness in which approximately 50,000 people hit town for the first day of the event.
The first day of the tournament, which drew about 50,000 party people to the city last year, goes much smoother in 2012. Find out why.
For a beach that is no stranger to surf lessons, Thursday may have looked like any other sunny day at El Porto in north Manhattan Beach. However, for the blind and visually impaired kids who would soon learn to surf for the first time, Thursday was anything but an ordinary day at the popular surf beach.
And the winner is? PHotos capture the competition, costumes and glory.
Palos Verdes
At least two blue whales were spotted off the coast of the Palos Verdes Peninsula on Wednesday morning, possibly signaling that the leviathans are back in Southern California waters, ABC7 reported.
: The San Diego woman who pleaded guilty to felony hit-and-run in the March death of former Rancho Palos Verdes resident Sho Funai, 23, in San Diego County was sentenced Friday to a year in county jail, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported over the weekend.

After a busy September, with weeks of mega-openings, there's still plenty to do. Like make butter by working out with art duo PopSoda.
In this week's events at the L Magazine: everybody's a pioneer, and we're blazing trails over to their shows.
Chelsea is about to get noisier. Chelsea's unruly non-profit spaces Printed Matter, Electronic Arts Intermix, Eyebeam, and Family Business have joined forces to put together CHELSEA SOUND, an all-day art and music festival held on Saturday, October 27th.
Video artists are a troubled breed; nobody knows how to sell or collect their work. But heck, even MoMA has a ton of video in their collection, so maybe there's a model out there that works. I sat down with Dara Birnbaum, the rare video artist who has both a gallery (Marian Goodman Gallery) and a distributor (Electronic Arts Intermix). That double life hasn't deterred museums and collectors from taking an interest in her work. But, as I gleaned from a lengthy interview with Birnbaum, institutions don't have a clue about fair compensation—not when MoMA only needs to pay $1,200 for one of her videos.
What follows are parts taken from a longer interview with Birnbaum. She's grand in her ambitions, which include a steadfast commitment to unlimited editions, sticking with EAI, and stealing images. Oh, and we talk about Hennessy Youngman.
One line at the bottom of a press release caught my eye: "Jayson Scott Musson's work is now available through EAI's distribution service. For more information, please click here." If you ever wanted the YouTube star on U-Matic or Beta, this is your chance.
I tend to miss a lot of shows where the venue has limited hours or is not on the way to another gallery. This is too bad, because those shows are often the ones I want to see most. I bet this happens to other people, too, so I've put together my shortlist of the ones that get away.

Well school is definitely going by fast. I can't believe that we are already half way through the semester and already, I have made a lot of memories! I am staying really busy with a lot of homework and have already learned how to manage my time a lot better. Tennis has been keeping me busy as well, with practice, then workouts outside of practice. Managing time is very important if you want to go to bed at a reasonable hour, but that hasn't really happened yet. I am having the time of my life and continuing to meet a lot of new people. I have already gotten my daily routine down, considering I basically do the same thing everyday and everyone always has those days where they just want to sleep through everything. I now have learned to put my alarm across the room so I have to get out of bed to turn it off. That is becoming more and more helpful as time goes on.
The tennis girls have been taking me around Lewiston and even Clarkston and being able to see the town has been really cool. My roommate and I have been doing quit a bit of shopping for food considering we don't have a lot of time to head down to the cafeteria to eat. Seeing the town has been something that we are spending more time doing. The restaurants here are pretty good, but money is becoming an issue. I have to watch how much I spend weekly and have limited myself to a certain amount now. So far that is going good.
Classes are going really well. Even though I haven't had a lot of papers to write yet, I still find myself having a lot of homework. My professors here are really cool, and they are more than willing to help you at any time. Whether it's through emails or coming into their office during office hours for extra help. They are very enthusiastic about teaching, which makes classes a lot more bearable. It is very helpful to take the time and meet your professors so they know you rather than just as a student.
Other than all of that, I am really enjoying myself here and couldn't have asked for a better place to be. The people are very friendly and fun to be around. I am looking forward for more good times as the year continues on and trying new things on and off campus. College really is one of the best times of your life!

The particularly thick skin of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape results in wines that can be high in tannin which provides both structure and ageability. This varietal, while frequently aromatic and with an attractive finish, also tends to lack mid-palate richness and so is often blended with lower tannin, but "fleshy" tasting grapes, particularly Merlot and, especially in Australia, Shiraz / Syrah. Cabernet Sauvignon has a well-defined aroma.

I also wish there was a non-ad version, because the ads drain my phone battery. I use this a lot less because I wait until I am at home to use a pc to access it.

I'd like to be able to pay for an ad-free version of the Android app.
I have a limited bandwidth plan through AT&T. So far I have found that ad-based apps are what push me close to my bandwidth limit until I have to uninstall them. I would _much_ rather pay once for an ad-free app than pay every month for the next higher plan. |

The Android app is full of ads that are invasive - it's very easy to click on them mistakenly when trying to add foods etc., which then opens up an internet page (at least on my Galaxy 3 it is). Gah! |

I just very happily paid for the AlcoDroid application. I used the free version for a week, it worked great, so I bought the ad-free version. The transfer of data was perfect. I just backed up the data I'm collecting through the free version onto my SD card (with a single click), then installed the new ad-free version of AlcoDroid. It automatically saw and imported the data I'd backed up and I was off and running. Nothing could be easier.
Having developed my own Android apps and considering how many ad dollars those apps received, I can't believe you wouldn't make more money by having an ad-free version of MyFitnessPal for $2.99. If you ever decide you want an easy paycheck, upgrade MyFitnessPal so that an ad-free version's available. And if you're looking for the right way to have the upgrade work, I suggest you check out AlcoDroid. They seem to have done it right. |

I think if they were to create an add free version of the app they would probably have to improve it somewhat, bug fixing etc.

Yeah, time to look at something else. The ads are annoying to the point of me dropping myfitnesspal. God knows there ARE alternatives out there. And like many, I'd pay for an ad free version. But it appears myfitnesspal is making TOO much money from the advertising to make an ad-free version. Hence.... adios!

If you can find an ad free version, then move away from this site, obviously MFP is making money from adverts, this is called capitalism. The ad do not bother me, I log my food in advance, print a copy and walk with it to work . My phone batter is too important to keep logging into MFP.

Add my vote as well. I paid for the iPhone ad-free version, then switched to Android and was quite dismayed to learn there was no such option for Android. Please.. please.. please... PLEASE make this available!

That's the worst! I really do not like ads, especially when they're by the keyboard. I seem to click the ads only when I'm building a food item and have just memorized the calories/fat/protein/etc for an item and want to type it in. Then I click an ad, get mad, and forget the values. It's extra annoying when you've got a restaurant's nutrition builder open and took the time to build your burrito and the ad hijacks your browser and messes it up. Ads. Blech. Did I mention I don't like the ads?

I don't have an Android phone right now. But in my application I need to use the accelerometer values. So I need an a simulator capable of it. How can I do this?
The Android emulator doesn't support it itself but OpenIntents' SensorSimulator fills the void. Download and unpack the zip file, then start the standalone jar file:
Next, install SensorSimulatorSettings on the emulator using the adb tool which comes with the SDK:
(run adb devices to find the emulator device name). Finally, run the installed SensorSimulatorSettings app in the emulator and enter the IP address 10.0.2.2 (despite what the SensorSimulator application might suggest. This is an alias to the loopback device of the development host so should always be valid. | |||||||||
I also was trying to get the SensorSimulator working and I think I finally got it working. The above steps: "...java -jar bin/sensorsimulator.jar Next, install SensorSimulatorSettings on the emulator using the adb tool which comes with the SDK: $ adb -s install bin/SensorSimulatorSettings.apk ...Finally, run the installed SensorSimulatorSettings app in the emulator and enter the IP address 10.0.2.2..." are a good start, but I needed to do more. You apparently need to then modify your application to use the SensorSimulator. You can go to http://code.google.com/p/openintents/wiki/SensorSimulator and scroll down to the "How to use the SensorSimulator in your application" section. Even then I got some errors in compiling, so you might want to see this page: Vintage Thermometer custom UI component + SensorSimulator (steps to test the component on the emulator) - I had to remove the references to android.hardware.Sensor, SensorEvent, and SensorEventListener. And then it was failing at the call to connectSimulator. Apparently, I needed to give my application permission to use the Internet in the manifest file. After all that, I am able to use the SensorSimulator to virtually rotate my phone and I do get the corresponding sensor readings in my application. | |||
I experienced that emulator for target 10 doesn't support accelerometer but for target 15 it does. I dont know if there is a way to do it for target 10. So for testing your application, Create your project and AVD for target 15. | |||
Afaik the simulator doesn't support that. | |||||
The recent version of emulator comes enabled with Accelerometer and other sensor simulation support. One can use telnet localhost PORT as show below for setting the values.
Trying ::1... telnet: connect to address ::1: Connection refused Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Android Console: type 'help' for a list of commands OK
allows you to request the emulator sensors available sub-commands:
KO: missing sub-command
acceleration: enabled. magnetic-field: enabled. orientation: enabled. temperature: enabled. proximity: enabled. OK -- JR | |||

The hip-hop group had a No. 5 album and late-night TV play, but its biggest feat was a local festival.
Atmosphere members Sean Daley "Slug", right, and Anthony Davis "Ant" smoke in thier tour bus Monday before the midnight release of thier record, "When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint that Sh*t Gold", at 5th Element Record Store in Minneapolis.
To put it bluntly: No Minnesota artist enjoyed more success in 2008 than rapper Slug and DJ/producer Ant, our Artists of the Year in 2002. Their album "When Life Gives You Lemons" debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard chart in April and went on to sell 150,000 copies (never mind how many more were illegally downloaded). They performed on Letterman, Conan and Jimmy Kimmel, in an era when late-night TV is crucial to music acts. The exclamation point to these accomplishments is they did it all via their hometown label, Rhymesayers.
But the crowning achievement of Atmosphere's 15-year career came over Memorial Day weekend, when it drew 12,000 fans to its inaugural Soundset festival. In a year when major touring acts couldn't half-fill arenas here, this was a feat that past Twin Cities bigwigs such as Soul Asylum or Semisonic probably couldn't have done.
Of course, commercial success isn't everything. "Lemons" also was an artistic triumph -- particularly for Slug, whose bad rep as an "emo" rapper flies out the window with mature, visionary singer/songwriterly songs such as "Guarantees" and "Me."

Host of "Al Bernameg" Bassem Youssef, often called "Egypt's Jon Stewart", is under investigation for mocking President Mohamed Morsi, worrying many.
An investigation ordered by Egyptian prosecutors over the "Egyptian Jon Stewart" has many fearful of a crackdown on free expression as the country continues a tough transition towrads democracy.
Lawyer Ramadan al-Oksory filed a petition against popular satirist Bassem Youssef, the host of "Al Bernameg," or "The Program." The newly-appointed prosecutor accuses the comedian of mocking state figures, including Islamist President Mohamed Morsi.
The complaint also targets the country's largest opposition newspaper with spreading false news about the president. By using the judiciary system, the investigation has sparked worries that the new Muslim-Brotherhood government may be using tactics similar to the ousted Mubarak-regime to intimidate or silence their own critics.
A controversial new constitution was passed by popular referendum in December, though it has been criticized by human rights groups for lacking in protections of basic freedoms and minority rights.
A practicing heart surgeon, Bassem Youssef has gained a cult following ever since he launched his media career after the revolution that toppled Hosni Mubarak. His two hour show, now airing on CBC, has targeted Islamists, and his political satire has drawn plenty of ire. The case against him is worrying for many, with a constitution that includes provisions that, among other things, forbids insults.
Mohamed Radwan, the Managing Editor of Al-Masry al-Youm, the paper now under investigation, is troubled by the approach.
[Mohamed Radwan, Managing Editor of Al-Masry al-Youm]:
"And there has been no small number, in fact a great number of complaints that they have put forwards. They want to say that the decisive factor is the judiciary. But the institution of the presidency, and I would never apologize for saying this, and those now occupying it, do not understand what it means for there to be political differences which should be solved by political means and not through the courts."
Radwan says that the constitution has a clause that can shut down newspapers if they publish errors.
Though some do agree, many do not approve of the investigations.
[Karim, Egyptian Man]:
"When I criticise a situation that I do not like, and then my criticism is not allowed, then where is democracy? Then there is no democracy, and no free expression, when they are always saying they will allow a free press and media — so where is it then?"

I have lived in Arizona for the last 30 years. I have been hooked on scrapbooking for almost 10 years now and have enjoyed teaching for the last five. When I am not making a mess in my scrapbook room or driving my kids somewhere, I love to read a good book or attend my tap dance class.
BPC: What do you like about your friends? TS: I think the thing I like most about my friends is that they make me laugh, and they are always there, whether it is 6:00 in the morning or midnight. My good friends know I am a little goofy, sometimes disorganized and always overbooked - and love me anyways!
BPC: Where do you hope to go? TS: I would love to travel outside the United States more; it has always been a dream of mine to go to Australia, Italy and France. I have a couple of teaching trips that will take me outside the country this year which I am pretty excited about, but I would love to travel to a European country with my family; I think that would be fabulous!
BPC: What do you need every day? TS: To really be in my zone, I need about 6 hours of sleep and one sugar-free Red Bull drink to jumpstart me in the morning. From there, a good day consists of having a balance of time with my kids and husband so I stay plugged into their daily lives, then at least an hour to myself to do something that charges me up, whether it is going to dance class, reading a book, creating art, or cleaning out a closet that is been driving me crazy!
BPC: What's your favorite line? TS: This is a hard question I don't really have a favorite line, but I LOVE the Star Wars series of movies, and my husband and I have been known to sneak up on my son and say in a very deep mechanical voice: " Luke, I am your Father!" I know we are weird!

I am hoping that this year I will make it to the Rose Bowl Flea Market in Los Angeles!
BPC: What do you believe in? TS: I believe that our own attitudes shape our destiny and daily happiness to a large degree. Facing life with a positive outlook and looking for the good in others as well as ourselves makes for a happier life. Dream big, plan well, work hard, smile a lot, and lots of good things will happen.
BPC: If you could take only one thing before you left the planet, what would you take? TS: My scrapbooks. I never want to forget the memories, photos and stories saved in those books they are my history.
BPC: Why do you like teaching at Big Picture Classes? TS: I enjoy teaching because I enjoy connecting with people that have the same passions that I do. I love sharing creative ways to preserve memories, and the creative exchange of ideas that always goes on in a class!

Iowa State Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, in response to Republican calls for a Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage in response to the Iowa State Supreme Court's recent ruling:
[L]ast Friday night, I hugged my wife. You know Ive been married for 37 years. I hugged my wife. I felt like our love was just a little more meaningful last Friday night because thousands of other Iowa citizens could hug each other and have the state recognize their love for each other.

Palm Beach Post Staff Writers
A circuit court judge this morning denied bond for a Boynton Beach teen who allegedly murdered a 22-year-old man two months ago in a drug deal gone bad.
Jimmy "Boo Boo" Clemons Jr., 17, was arrested April 25 and charged with first-degree murder for the death of 22-year-old Valley Alexandre who was slain in Lantana on March 16.
Clemons was being held in juvenile detention until last night when he was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail, according to jail records. He is now charged as an adult with first-degree murder, armed robbery and delinquent in possession of a firearm.
Clemons stood in front of Circuit Court Judge Marni Bryson this morning wearing a red jail uniform. He spoke only when the public defender said he did not want to be questioned without an attorney present. When asked if that was correct, he muttered "yeah."
Clemons had been the subject of an intense law enforcement search following the March 17 shooting deaths of his mother and aunt.
When authorities caught up with him in April, they booked him on charges of burglary and weapons possession for allegations that he took his father's gun "for protection." Before he could leave custody on bond for those charges, investigators arrested him again, this time for Alexandre's murder.
Law enforcement sources told The Palm Beach Post the killings of sisters Janice Rahming, 54, and Daphne Clemons, 41, on March 17 were likely in retaliation Alexandre's shooting the previous day.
The shooting of the two women as they sat on a living room couch exchanging beauty tips so upset the community that Boynton Beach Police Chief Matthew Immler quickly called a town hall meeting to help quell the growing outrage over violence and gang activity.
Immler also implied at the time that the shootings could have been retaliation for another shooting, and law enforcement authorities began looking to bring Clemons in for questioning.
His father, Jimmy Clemons Sr., noticed that his 9mm Ruger was missing from a drawer in his home on March 21. He later learned that his son had taken the gun "for protection when he leaves the house," according to a probable-cause affidavit.
According to detectives, witnesses have said Clemons wanted to rob Alexandre because he believed Alexandre had a large amount of drugs. Later that night, Alexandre was shot in his car during a drug deal gone bad by two men, one of whom was identified as Clemons by a witness who managed to jump out of the car seconds before Alexandre was killed in Lantana.
Phone records placed Clemons and Alexandre in the same "general location" at the time, Clemons' arrest report said.

Gotta See It: That teenager Jonathan Huberdeau pulled the move he did in a penalty shot and not in a shootout makes it all the more impressive. Talk about rookie poise. My goodness.
The 19-year-old Quebec native was bear-hugged from behind by Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Kimmo Timonen on a clear first-period break to the goal and thus granted his first career penalty shot.
Cue the magic.
Watch as Huberdeau butter-slides sideways on his skates, slowing his momentum with the puck on his backhand, then smoothly dekes out Ilya Bryzgalov, finishing backhand five-hole. Not sure if we want the kid's hands or his feet.
"I love being in a shootout, penalty-shot situation," Huberdeau told reporters after the game. "They gave me the opportunity, very happy they have the confidence in me, and it was great to come through for the team."
Bryzgalov lost it. From a sitting position on the ice, he threw his stick back towards the glass.
And when Huberdeau – who finished the game with four points – beat Bryz on a power-play goal in the second period, the amateur Russian cosmonaut was yanked from the game. He finished the game with a 7.56 GAA. Again, he threw his stick. This time down the tunnel as he went to the dressing room.
Thanks everyone !! Feels great , a big win and we are back at it tomorrow night in Pittsburgh !! #roady #FlaPanthers #2/2 — Jonathan Huberdeau (@JonnyHuby11) February 22, 2013
Thanks everyone !! Feels great , a big win and we are back at it tomorrow night in Pittsburgh !! #roady #FlaPanthers #2/2

Huberdeau now leads the Panthers in goals (eight), points (13), plus/minus (+3) and shooting percentage (23.5%). His stats are even more remarkable when you consider the rookie is only getting the seventh-most amount of ice time among Panthers forwards.
And with the St. Louis Blues' Vladimir Tarasenko injured, he might have taken the yellow jersey in the Calder race.

The rare Rhinopias aphanes, or weedy scorpionfish, mimics a crinoid as it lies in wait for prey. |
With eight wives and many pigs, the Huli witch doctor Pajia is a wealthy man by tribal standards. He earns a living by conjuring spirits, and blending lotions and potions. |
The plane banks over Papua New Guinea's mainland, and beneath you a fern-green jungle blankets the flanks of mountains that drop down to sugar-white sand and into the turquoise Pacific. But underneath the paradise-perfect scenery, Papua New Guinea is a land of immensities and complexities. It is a country of 600 islands spread out over hundreds of miles, with more than 700 languages, a troubled capital city and a ritualistic tribal culture.
This juxtaposition of the rare and wonderful plays out under water, too. Thousands of square miles of coral reef jammed with strange creatures. Water-darkening schools of fish. Dizzyingly deep walls. World War II wrecks. It would take more than a single magazine article to do it justice.
The sites highlighted here illustrate PNG's diversity. Loloata Island offers rare marine species. A trio of islands in the Bismarck Sea--New Britain, New Ireland and New Hanover--is the cruising ground of large pelagics. Finally, Tari Valley is the place to experience PNG's rich tribal culture.
Loloata means "one hill" in Motu, the language spoken locally. Visitors who arrive by boat are immediately greeted by the friendly crew and staff of Loloata Island Resort, which overlooks Bootless Bay. Only 20 minutes from Port Moresby, PNG's capital city, Loloata is a serene retreat where you can spend a day at the beach or enjoy world-class diving. The resort's comfortable dive boats whisk you to a myriad of sites. The pinnacle of Suzie's Bommie, adorned with red sea whips, pink sea fans, and huge barrel and elephant ear sponges, is alive with schools of batfish, sweetlips and other reef fish. Loloata also features a World War II aircraft wreck. The seagrass beds of uninhabited Lion Island shelter lots of small, weird creatures like white-faced morays, chocolate chip sea stars and harlequin pipefish, and is the destination of choice for muck divers.
Common lizardfish in PNG are bigger than their cousins in other oceans. |
In the Southern Highlands, Ambua Lodge's bungalows offer warmth in the cooler mountains. |
The jumping-off point for diving in the Bismarck Sea is Walindi Plantation, a still-operating oil-palm plantation on New Britain Island. Amazed by the biodiversity of Kimbe Bay, owner Max Benjamin built a dive resort and donated land for a nature center. The bay is home to hundreds of species of fish and coral, and the calm waters offer a respite to sperm whales, orcas and large schools of tuna. To reach the outer islands beyond Kimbe Bay in the Bismarck Sea, visitors can board one of three live-aboards that use Walindi as a base. FeBrina, Star Dancer and Paradise Sport can get to the Witus, where jacks and barracuda number in the thousands. It's an overnight crossing to the passes of New Ireland and New Hanover islands (the Kavieng area), where divers can drift-dive in a three-knot current alongside rays and sharks. On the eastern side of Kimbe Bay, the Fathers, named after New Britain's highest and still-active volcano, Mt. Ulauan, or Father, is just west of Lolobau Island. Even though it's in Kimbe Bay, this hook-shaped reef chain, packed with soft corals and gorgonians, is also accessible only by live-aboard. You may encounter a friendly pod of resident dolphins who often play in the boat's wake--and if you're lucky, with divers in the water.
PNG's waters are thick with hundreds of species of schooling fish like these milkfish. |
The vast and rugged highlands of Papua New Guinea were the last of the country's territories to be explored by Europeans. Hike the lush, high-altitude rain forests of the Tari basin in the Southern Highlands, and you'll be treated to spectacular waterfalls and unusual fauna and flora like flamboyant birds of paradise, a cuddly member of the possum family called the cuscus and rare species of orchids. This is a primal landscape, and home to the tribe of wig-wearers known as the Huli. Fierce warriors, the Hulis are also excellent farmers and hunters. The gardens and domestic chores are tended to by the tribe's women, who often live separately from the men. In the Wig School, young Huli males make amazing, decorated wigs that are used in cultural heritage shows that are popular tourist attractions. The traditional song and dance called sing-sing is performed by brilliantly costumed locals on a regular basis. While the Hulis and other tribes living in the Highlands have been affected by the changes brought by outsiders, it is still possible for visitors to witness a way of life and culture found nowhere else in the world.
Schools of chevron barracuda can be found throughout Papua New Guinea. |
Locals fish and farm in isolated villages that dot PNG's rivers, though they're increasingly exposed to outside influences. |
Dive Conditions > Average water temperatures vary from 77 degrees along the edge of the Coral Sea to 84 degrees in the Bismarck Sea.
Weather > Tropical, with coastal temperatures hovering between 77 degrees and 86 degrees. The wet season is from December to March. Rainfall is heavy, but varies greatly.
Getting There > Most divers fly into the capital of Port Moresby, arriving via connections in Australia (Cairns, Sydney or Brisbane), although you can also connect to Port Moresby through Singapore, New Zealand and the Philippines.
Documents > Passports are required. You can get a 60-day tourist visa (about US$10.25) on arrival, but it's best to obtain one in advance from the PNG Embassy at (202) 745-3680 or at www.pngembassy.org. If your itinerary includes overnight layovers in Australia, you'll also need an Australian tourist visa. It's free, but must be arranged (either on paper or electronically) in advance. Call the Australian Embassy at (800) 242-2878 or visit www.austemb.org.
Currency > The kina (PGK), which fluctuates wildly. At press time, US$1 = PGK3.3. The departure tax must be paid in kinos (about US$9).

Space anisometry in unilateral neglect
This chapter discusses a recent series of experiments that show neglect patients reproduced horizontal extents on either side of a perceived or remembered extent (the 'model') and comments on their results, except for those investigations in which the patients were only asked to generate contralesional extents. The results of the latter investigations have unquestionable points of interest, but their explanatory potential is less complete. In conclusion, what has been learned from recent research on horizontal extent reproduction in unilateral neglect urges reconsideration of former theories about a disorder that still remains largely elusive, despite the impressive increase of contributions following the publication of the remarkable volume edited by Weinstein and Friedland in 1977.

No surprise, the N&R supports the proposed taxpayer-financed downtown hotel.
It's understandable —- they've got land downtown and themselves, and it would give them something watch outside their office windows besides the Davie Street parking deck. It's also really hard to believe that veteran newspaper men who supposedly have been keeping an eye on government for years can fall for the logic that no public money is at risk in this project because private investors would be liable for the "federal recovery zone bonds."
Newsflash, newspapermen —- government eats deals like this all the time —look what just happened with the aquatic center, for heaven's sake. That's what makes it an even better risk for the developers—- I'm sure Bridget Chisholm knows this all too well. And the Ole Asheboro Neighborhood Association's role in this is still very mysterious. They stand to benefit from this deal, but would they also be on the hook for the bonds if the hotel fails? Or are they just angling for some totally free money?
Here's some more logic— the hotel might not like it, but the city would still have a nice parking deck.
If you ask me, this project defies all logic.
[...] if not, who would pay back those bonds? So much for the argument that no public money is at [...]

ok a silly little project in my ead being applied to Airsoft.
in the future you often see the USCM for example in films like aliens, so what would the british have ?
well the simple answer would be UKCM but colonial marine suggests we have an empire when lets be honest the chance of the uk having a space project fast enough would be pure fuff and fantacy, if we did reach the stars from the uk it would be under the wing of the US or EU !!!
so the uk set up a wing of the military called the UKCM this allowed the UK keeps its fingers in the pot, make some profit and support its allies and gather intel on it allies.
yes these needs alot of fleshing out and proper thinking, and welcome to the way i process these things.
i like the ideas of colonial marine and i like the idea of mercenaries but UK doese not fit these ideal very well ? maybe it needs more thinking ?

Depends on, I suppose, the source material. You aren't thinking of something in BF Evo by any chance, are you? That I could certainly help with.

I don't mean speed limits, but in relations to road conditions.
You can drive fast as usual, the main roads are good and some roads might be under constructions and improving.

main roads are first class.
using local public transport is also a good solution

THE INDEX OF REFRACTION FOR SODIUM ATOM WAVES through various gases has been measured, providing new details about interatomic forces between sodium and the individual gases. Under certain experimental conditions, whole atoms, like light, can behave as rippling waves rather than pointlike particles. In the past few years, researchers have successfully demonstrated some of atoms' hard-to-detect wavelike properties using atom interferometers, devices that split up atom waves and recombine them to form interference patterns. Now, David Pritchard of MIT (617-253-6812) and his co-workers have passed one portion of a sodium atom wave through one of numerous gas samples (such as helium, neon, argon, ammonia, and water) and then recombined it with another portion of the wave that did not pass through the gas. From the resulting interference pattern the researchers derived the index of refraction, basically a measure of the "bending" angle of the sodium atom ray as it traverses the gas medium. From the index of refraction researchers extracted new details about the long-range forces between the sodium atom and the gases. Of the gases studied, they have found that helium behaves most like a hard sphere in its interactions with sodium, exerting the weakest long-range attraction, while xenon has the most dominant long-range attraction. (J. Schmiedmayer et al., 13 Feb. in Physical Review Letters.)
CAN FUSION BE INITIATED BY SONOLUMINESCENCE? In sonoluminescence carefully tuned sound waves cause bubbles in a fluid to oscillate; in the collapsing part of this motion the bubbles emit short (50 psec) bursts of light, most likely by some implosion effect. At a recent meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, Livermore physicist William Moss presented computer simulations which show that peak temperatures (as high as 1 million K) and pressures inside the bubbles could, with further experimental refinements, be sufficient to support nuclear fusion reactions. Experiments at several labs have not been able to measure such high temperatures; nor have they observed neutrons, an important product of nuclear fusion. One current experiment, at Livermore, is using bubbles filled with deuterium rather than air. (Science, 16 December 1994.)
HELIUM DOES NOT FLOW WELL ON CESIUM . Above a temperature of 2 K, thin films of helium-4 on a cesium surface can become thick films in a process called wetting. Below 2 K, however, the cesium only allows thin films (only a few atomic layers at most) of He-4 to form, and this, according to James Rutledge of the University of California at Irvine, is not enough for the helium to flow as a superfluid (Physics World, December 1994). In a recent experiment researchers at the University of Exeter in Britain have measured the flow of helium across cesium to be a factor of 10**9 less than the flow of helium across glass. Furthermore, at a temperature of 0.12 K, there was an average of less than 4 x 10**-6 monolayers of helium on the Cs surface. This property may make cesium a good coating for surfaces where the presence of superfluid helium is undesirable. (P. Stefanyi et al., Physical Review Letters, 1 August 1994.)
