Three meals per day is the eating pattern you have been taught since childhood. However for some people, eating 5-6 times a day keeps their blood sugar more even and can help with weight control.
What Is a Mini Meal?
It is important to know the difference between a mini meal and a snack that is high in fat and carbohydrates. A mini meal should be well balanced—containing fiber, protein, and small amounts of fat. This combination can help you to feel fuller longer. In contrast, people who snack on sweet, fatty foods consume more calories and have a higher likelihood of being overweight.
Make sure your mini meal includes a variety of food groups. This will also help to ensure that you are including vitamins and nutrients in your diet.
Here are some examples of mini meals that you can try!
If you need more ideas to create your mini meals, visit the US Department of Agriculture's Choose MyPlate website, which lists healthy foods from the 5 food groups.
What Works for You?
Everyone's needs are different based on physiology and lifestyle. Finding an eating pattern that gives you the nutrients and energy you need is key to a healthy and active life.
If you currently eat 3 meals a day but find you go into a mid-morning slump, then smaller, more frequent meals may be right for you. Or, if you find yourself constantly hungry and grazing throughout the day, 3 larger meals with fiber, carbohydrates, protein, and a small amount of fat may be the answer for you.
When deciding on a new eating pattern, make sure to stay on the new schedule for at least 2 weeks to let your body adjust. And, no matter which eating pattern you adopt, try to be consistent.

Can You Find it in Your Heart
(1) Clear out the critters on the road to Ivanpah Lake. (2) Return to Ranger Jackson at Mojave Outpost.
Important Items...[edit]
Service Rifle, 5.56mm Rounds, Caravan Lunch (x2), Weapon Repair Kit (x2), 100 Bottle Caps.
One way or another (likely through other Side Quests ), you'll come across a location at the far southwestern edge of the Mojave Wasteland called the Mojave Outpost. The outpost is a bona fide NCR stronghold, designed so that the NCR can have a presence protecting various caravan trading routes and the like from the Legion, Raiders, and all of the rest. If you head inside of the main headquarters building at the outpost (there are only two buildings total you can even enter there), you should find a man named Ranger Jackson. Jackson is in charge here, and when you speak with him, he'll reluctantly give you a task to complete on his behalf. And thankfully, this task is a rather straight-forward and simple one.
Jackson instructs you to head to a certain juncture of road that has been overrun by what he deems "critters." These critters are making it hard for supply lines to make it over to Ivanpah Lake, but once you've taken care of these foes, the supplies can continue to flow unabated, at least for the time being. To get to the location in question, simply quick travel to the Nipton Road Reststop, which is located not too far to the northeast from the Mojave Outpost. If that location isn't already on your map, then you should simply walk the short distance in lieu of quick traveling. Just to the east of the Nipton Road Reststop, you'll find a bit of a dip in a road ahead and below. This is the location from where you can spring your attack safely and easily. Using this perch, you can open fire on the contingent of Giant Worker Ants and Giant Soldier Ants below. Rest assured that when you begin your assault, the Giant Soldier Ants in particular will work their way up the road and around to the high ground to fight you more directly. But the Giant Worker Ants should be nothing more than fodder for your weapon-of-choice.
If you don't have weapons that can be used at moderate range, you may have no choice but to fight these enemies at closer range, which will naturally put you at greater danger. Then again, most of these foes (save the Soldiers) are fairly weak, so problems should be kept to a minimum. The game should prompt you that the initial task for Jackson is finished when all of the enemies in question at this juncture have been slain. Now, all that's left to do is to quick travel back to the Mojave Outpost. When you arrive, run back to NCR headquarters and speak with Jackson. Upon alerting him that the task has been done successfully, you'll earn the experience points from a job well done. Be sure to speak with Jackson about your reward thereafter, however. For doing so, you'll earn a Service Rifle, 5.56mm Rounds, a couple of Caravan Lunches and Weapon Repair Kits, and 100 Bottle Caps to boot.

Down Insulated Suits
Recent Down Insulated Suit Reviews
The North Face Himalayan Suit
This is the best down suit you can buy for your money. It's warm and does its job in the coldest of weather. Keeps you warm and dry, very comfortable, it's like wearing a nice down sleeping bag. It's great for any winter activity. It's best for winter camping and long treks or walks on cold days. I wear the suit all the time around the house or outside, it's that comfortable. I have gotten many compliments on the suit. I would recomend this suit to anyone whos is always cold or wants to be comfortable… Full review
The North Face Himalayan Suit
A wonderful one-piece suit for extreme conditions. Very well made, no cold or wet spots whatsoever, and fairly easy to move around in (considering what it was made for). Yes, the hood is large, and does restrict vision, but with three drawstrings it can be made to fit well, and I think the hood would accommodate an oxygen mask well. The crotch zipper is easy to deal with when nature calls, and the reflective lining adds to the warmth. The mitts in the sleeves are another good feature. Full review
The North Face Himalayan Suit
Amazing workmanship and fill power. The Dryloft fabric works very well. It has a very large hood that could interfere with the view. The elastic in the water pockets are a little too tight. It is really a great product. Full review

Pakistani authorities have stopped issuing "No-Objection Certificates" for the screening of Indian films, holding up the release of new movies like 'Gunday' and 'Hasee Toh Phasee'.
The Federal Information and Broadcasting Ministry has told distributors and exhibitors of Indian films that it is processing new laws and regulations and NOCs will not be issued till these are approved by the federal cabinet.
Nawab Siddiqui, one of Pakistan's leading distributors and exhibitors who runs the Atrium Cineplex in Karachi, said authorities stopped the screening of Indian movies last month.
"The whole process has just been stopped and we couldn't get NOCs for new films like 'Gunday' and 'Hasee Toh Phasee', which were eagerly anticipated in our cinemas," he said.
Siddiqui said the cinema and catering industries stood to lose millions of rupees they had invested in cineplexes and malls after the government's decision in 2006 to allow the screening of Indian films.
"Investors and business groups are very worried because they have invested millions of rupees while new parties are willing to channel investment, but now everything is at a standstill for the last few weeks as no new Indian films have been released," he said.
After the 1965 war with India, Pakistan barred the screening of Indian films for nearly four decades and this gave rise to rampant piracy.
"The irony is that pirated copies of 'Gunday' are being aired on cable across Karachi but it can't be shown legally in cinemas," said the manager of Capri cinema.
Siddiqui, who works with the oldest distribution company Mandviwallas, said the screening of Indian films had fuelled the revival of the cinema industry in Pakistan.

In Aether 16 and verse 20 the "virgin that rode upon the bull" describes the Sign of the Master of the Temple to Crowley. Was this Sign established before his vision or afterwards?
Also, in verse 22 Crowley gives the "sign that only I may know" . In the commentary it is suggested that it is the sign given in verse 5, which seems to be a sign of humility. It seems to be linked to possibly his humility sexually.

DUKE FIELD, Fla. -- Danny Ruiz is a fighter.
He is a staff sergeant in the Air Force Reserve, a husband, father and coach. But above all, he's a fighter.
Ruiz is a week away from his 19th professional mixed martial arts fight. But this one means more. This fight, the Strike Fight event Dec. 8 at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., will be in front of a hometown crowd of his military brethren. It will also be a return to the location where he made the decision to become an MMA fighter.
His combative journey to the octagon and the main event began in New York. Ruiz's father, an Army veteran, taught him to box and showed him some martial arts techniques when he was only eight years old. At age 13, Ruiz discovered knowing how to throw jabs wasn't the only way to win a fight. The realization came to him like a slap in the face -- literally. Instead of punching, a technique Ruiz could defend, a school-yard opponent tackled him and beat him up.
"That's when I started training in wrestling and judo with my uncle," laughed Ruiz, a cargo loader with the 919th Logistics Readiness Squadron.
He moved to Orlando soon after, but continued the training. He met his current trainer Daniel Silva there and the two became fast friends. Silva taught him to incorporate Brazilian jiu jitsu to his repertoire.
"I went into this new gym thinking I knew a few things and could handle myself," said the energetic, 170-pound Ruiz. "We started grappling and I tried a wrist lock and he choked me out. The next time he arm-barred me. I said, 'Oh I like this, where do I sign up? I like this Brazilian jiu jitsu stuff.'"
Ruiz was hooked on the new techniques and in 1998 started training for his first fight. In September of that year, he fought and won a three-round decision.
"The nerves and anxiety were overwhelming at first," said Ruiz, who holds a 12-6 record. "I think I was more scared of my trainer than my opponent."
Ruiz said the win had him on fire for the sport for a while, but he got lazy and didn't want to battle the weight management it took to continue fighting.
In 2003, he entered the active-duty Air Force and was stationed at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., as a weapons loader. Ruiz said his next life-changing moment came in January 2005 while watching the first season of "Ultimate Fighter," a reality show about MMA fighters competing for a shot in the sport's premier league, Ultimate Fighting Championship.
"Phil Nichols was bragging about his two-and-a-half years of jiu jitsu training and that fired me up," recalled Ruiz. "I'd been training five times as long as this guy on TV and here I am laying on the couch watching it happen."
That's when he devoted himself to training for and competing in MMA again. Initially, his dream met with some push-back from supervisors and co-workers, but with the help of his leadership, he got the approvals needed to train and fight while on active duty.
"Since 2005, the Air Force has come a long way toward accepting MMA. The culture of fitness has changed and MMA is much more widely accepted today," said Ruiz, who now helps train other Airmen in MMA at a local gym. "Over the years, I've seen the Air Force adopt many of the MMA-style workouts I used when I began the training. Several of my students have continued to train even in a deployed environment."
He began making monthly eight-hour road trips back to Orlando to train in the gyms where he started years earlier. Ruiz said this was a "bruising" period for him as his trainers wore him out physically. He would not be broken, though. Ruiz continued and returned to fighting status in 2006.
His return was a success. While fighting at 185 pounds, he racked up four straight wins within a year. For his fifth fight, he dropped down to 170 pounds. The weight loss proved too significant; and though Ruiz broke his opponent's nose and orbital bone, he lost by technical knock-out in the second round.
"I was gassed, man, I just gave up," he said of the first loss of his career. "From then on I began to concentrate harder on the cardio and diet because I wanted to remain at that weight."
After a bounce-back knockout victory in 2008, Ruiz struggled with four straight losses by knockout or submission. This career low-point had a dramatic impact on Ruiz's MMA career. He faced tough choices in rebuilding his game to start over. The first step was to repair his mental game and the crippling anxiety he suffered with big matches.
"Pushing past the physical is tough; a program called 'Wintensity' helped me understand what happens to the mind before a fight and how to deal with the anxiety," said Ruiz.
Following the program's exercises and taking a few psychology classes helped Ruiz gain focus and clarity of mind. The techniques allowed him to manage the nerves and anxiety that held him back in the fight.
Silva saw immediate progress once Ruiz finally took hold of his mental game.
"His greatest improvement came after those four tough losses," said Silva. "He was completely humbled after that. It is incredibly difficult for a fighter to have humility, admit their mistakes and understand those errors can be learned from. He had to go deep down and find out who he was and who he wanted to be and do it."
Ruiz decided he wanted to be a fighter again.
During this dark time, he separated from active duty and joined the Air Force Reserve. He served for a year as a weapons loader with the 908th Airlift Wing at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala., before cross-training to join the 919th Special Operations Wing here in 2010.
After an eight-month recovery both mentally and physically, Ruiz returned to the octagon with a new intensity. He won five fights in less than a year en route to six straight victories including the Atlas Fights Welter Weight Championship in April 2011.
"He found his heart," said Silva. "His mind was clear and he went in there and executed. He became an all-around fighter; so whatever mission was in front of him, he got in there and got it done."
Currently, Ruiz is coming off a tough five-round decision loss in February. It was his first loss from a decision. He believes he should've won. He put that out of his mind, however, to focus on his Strike Fight opponent: Michael Kuhn, a fighter from Atlanta, nicknamed "The Slim Reaper."
Prior to a fight, Ruiz goes into a six-to-eight week training camp that includes rigorous daily physical training sessions five days a week. During the week, they spar at 40 percent fight capability. On Saturdays, during "The Gauntlet," the sparring intensifies to 80 percent of a fighter's capability.
"Basically the entire gym comes out and beats you up," joked Ruiz. "The relentless schedule and the demand put on your body, during the camps, are the most difficult aspects of being an MMA fighter and it's supposed to be difficult. If you're giving your all and it's kicking your butt, that's good, because it's working and it will make the actual fight that much easier."
Ruiz, a father of two, said he couldn't get through it all without his wife, Linda, who keeps him on his diet and ensures he makes his weight.
"She usually doesn't come see me fight, because of the kids, but she may come to this one since it's local," said Ruiz.
After fight number 19, Ruiz said he'd like to fight at least once more for a belt, but at 34, he considers himself in the twilight of his MMA career.
"I want to stop at age 35," said Ruiz. "It may be the latter side of 35, but I'm not going to push myself to continue. I do not want to be fighting at 40. I'm fine with taking off my fighter's hat and putting on the coach's hat and focusing on getting my guys into good fights and hopefully the UFC."
But before changing those hats, he's got a few more fights to finish.
At Strike Fight, scheduled for Dec. 8, as he enters the octagon to the tune of Run DMC's "Down with the King," Ruiz will return home to where it all began. And when the cage door locks, Ruiz plans to show everyone what it means to be a fighter.

Chris and I had a scary movie marathon on Halloween. We watched 30 Days Of Night (meh), My Name Is Bruce (loved it!), Zombieland (loved it!) and Paranormal Activity.
Paranormal Activity is very low budget ($14,000) and utilizes the POV hand held camera technique. So if you didn't like Blair Witch Project or Cloverfield because of that then you probably won't like this movie either although most of the time the camera is sitting on a tripod so it's not too shaky. There are no big special effects and most of the movie is just watching the things that happen while they're asleep.
It was very, VERY creepy.
From talking with people, they either love or hate this movie. I found the way it was shot to be very atmospheric. The suspense was almost unbearable and I was literally on the edge of my seat, waiting for something to happen. For a movie with almost no special effects it was pretty scary. Now, I'll admit that I had trouble going to sleep that night but I'm happy to report I didn't have to sleep with my light on. If you like scary movies I suggest you give this one a shot.
FYI, there are two endings. The first one from the 2007 release of the movie and then the edited ending that's currently being shown. I had the opportunity to view both endings and I personally found the original ending to be much better.

Want some cheese with that whine, Wild fans?
So here we go to overtime again, and the Minnesota Wild fans are showing their sophistication by throwing objects onto the ice, whining about the penalty to Kim Johnsson with 1:09 left.
Sorry to inform you, Minnesotans. I mean, we in Denver know you're so much smarter about hockey than us Cowtown folk, but last I checked hooking is against the rules. We know, we know. It can't happen in the last minute of a game. That's "not right." That's not hockey.
OK then.
So, suck it up, get the pacifiers out of your mouths and LET'S….PLAY…HOCKEY!

This month marks the 70th anniversary of one of Duxford's most tragic events – the crash of a visiting B-17 of the 95th Bomb Group, which killed 14 men. We've been back through the 78th Fighter Group's records to add some different perspectives to this well-recorded incident.
19 July 1944 began much as any other for the 78th Fighter Group. After breakfast in the Officers' Club and a briefing in their room on the south side of what is now Hangar 4, the pilots strapped themselves into their P-47s. By 0709, 49 were airborne, led by Major Ben I Mayo. Two hours later they were in action, strafing airfields. Several enemy aircraft were destroyed by the Group's pilots, but not without loss: at approximately 0930, Major Norman D Munson, was killed. His wing man, 1st Lieutenant Kinsolving, later described what happened:
'Major Munson came around again for a second pass. This time he set another twin engine aircraft on fire, but just as he did so, his plane was evidently hit by flak for his ship nosed down, hit the aerodrome at a slight angle and burst into flame. The flaming wreckage slid 100 yards off the aerodrome.'
Norman 'Doug' Munson, son of Warren and Sarah Munson of Plattsburgh, New York, was 24 years old.
The 78th arrived back at Duxford a few minutes after noon. As the Duxford Diary reported, 'as usual after a big day, nearly everyone on the base was feeling pretty good.' Around 1400, a B-17 landed. Its captain, Lieutenant Sasser, a friend of one of the 78th's pilots, offered to take some of Duxford's men for a ride in the aircraft – 'Ready Freddie'. Several jumped at the chance, and by around 1430 were airborne.
What happened next caused the largest loss of life in a single incident in Duxford's four decades as an operational airfield.
Captain John E. Lingenfelter's 1042nd Signal Company submitted a report which described the tragedy:
'Men from the base…climbed aboard a visiting bomber for a ride around the field. The bomber careered off the neon beacon on top of one of the hangars; lost its wing which crashed in front of the officers' club; dropped one of its rubber auxiliary tanks through an empty Nissen hut and then crashed into the barrack of the 83rd where it burned, killing all on board and one man in the barrack. The barrack was completely demolished and all aboard the plane were burned beyond recognition.'
As well as the bomber's crew – Sasser, Victor L Mintz, James A Heil Sr. and Francis J Bradburn – there were eight of Duxford's men inside the B-17: Martin H Smith Jr., John B. Putnam Jr., Donald M. French, Ellsworth J Seesz, John F. Hamilton, John D. Gorman, Anthony C. Loguidice, Frank L Wojcicki, and Wilbur K. Edwards. Ernest Taylor was in the barracks when the aircraft hit.
Identifying the dead proved to be a harrowing task, as the 1042nd report describes:
'The accident…had caused considerable confusion in identification of the bodies whose dog-tags were melted with the heat or were lost in the crash. To eliminate any further difficulties along that line a check on dog-tags was made in the mess hall on the twenty-first by Colonel Williams and Major Floyd. Anyone unable to show his tags was ordered from the mess hall to get his dog tags.'
The deaths affected everyone on the station. This was reflected in the reports submitted by each section at the end of the month. Staff Sergeant William H Roberts wrote:
'It is with the deepest regret that I am closing this month's contribution on a note of sadness. The tragic accident that happened on our field… affected us very deeply, inasmuch as two of the three men lost from our squadron worked in our department. As a eulogist I am sadly lacking, however I would like at this time to express the department's felicitations and high esteem for S/Sgt Donald French and Pfc. Wilbur K Edwards. Both men were of the highest moral character and as such accorded our respect. Their ability and willingness to work was exemplified by the proficient manner they performed their duties. They have departed in body but their ethereal presence will always remain.'
The Orderly Room's Bill Brennan paid a moving tribute:
'Death took one of the finest members of the squadron this month. A soldier whose quiet manner and devotion to duty will never be forgotten by any of us. Cpl Anthony C Loguidice was an average G.I. He came from Albany, New York. He had been with the outfit ever since it was activated down at Esler Field. His duties were with the Transportation Section, where he worked diligently for a year and a half. Two days before he was killed he was promoted to the grade of Cpl. A promotion which he sweated out for nearly a year. His death was one of those strange unexpected events that no-one but the Almighty can explain…To us it seems strange that "Tony" should die in this way because he always wanted to be a gunner so he could get a crack at the enemy. He had excellent grades and was an expert with a gun. A new regulation put out by Fighter Command stating that no one would be taken for gunnery duty if he wasn't trained in the States prevented his being a gunner. Many things we will forget about "Tony" but never his quiet efficient manner, his hearty smile, and his always ready to lend a hand attitude.'
Sergeant Jacobs of the Transportation Section also remembered Tony Loguidice:
'This month of July 1944 will always live in the memories of Sgt Jacobs and the men under his supervision for it was Wednesday…of this month that Tony Loguidice, one of the original gang in this section lost his life in the tragic crash of the Flying Fortress. With the loss of Tony we also lost Johnny Gorman of the Transportation Section of the 1671st Ordnance Co., along with eight other enlisted men, the co-pilot of the B-17, Lt Putnam and one other pilot of the 84th Fighter Squadron. Loguidice will always be remembered by the Transportation Section as a man who was not only a perfect soldier but also a shining credit to his family and his home town Albany, New York.'
The funerals on 22 July were moving experiences for the men who attended, as Captain Lingenfelter's company's report recalled:
'The usual Saturday morning inspection of the twenty-second was eliminated so that members of the field might attend a funeral mass at 0730 hours in honour of the men who died in the disaster of the nineteenth. That afternoon all men who desired to attend the funeral were relieved from duty and a convoy of ten or twelve trucks left the field for the Cambridge Military Cemetery at 1500 hours.
The members of the field who attended the funeral will long remember the scene with its…flag-covered coffins; its volleys and taps and many a man thanked God, as he left the cemetery overlooking Cambridge in the distance, for protecting him who might even then be slowly sliding from beneath the flags to rest in the soil of England.'
With thanks to Anne Hughes for archive research. To read more about the tragedy on 19 July, please also see this website, run by 78th Fighter Group historian Curt Shepard. It contains several pages of the original accident reports, and photographs of some of the men who lost their lives.

Suborder: Haplorrhini
Infraorder: Simiiformes
Family: Atelidae
Subfamily: Atelinae
Genus: Oreonax
Species: O. flavicauda
Other names: O. flavicauda: Lagothrix
flavicauda, Lagothrix hendeei, Peruvian yellow-tailed
woolly monkey, yellow-tailed woolly monkey, Hendee's woolly
monkey; hendees uldabe (Danish); geelstaartwolaap (Dutch);
harmaavillaapina (Finnish); singe laineux à queue jaune (French);
gelbschwanzwollaffe (German); lagotrice a coda gialla (Italian);
barrigudo andino, choro cola amarilla, maquisapa chusco (Spanish);
gulsvansad ullapa, hendees ullapa (Swedish).
O. flavicauda is monotypic, that is, the only member of the
genus Oreonax (Groves 2001; 2005). Groves (2001; 2005) moved
the Peruvian yellow-tailed woolly monkey (Oreonax flavicauda) to its own
genus (Oreonax) from Lagothrix based on cladistic and morphological
grounds. However, the idea of the yellow-tailed woolly monkey in a
genus separate from the other woolly monkeys is not a new one and was
proposed in the early 20th century on grounds of differences in tooth
morphology (Thomas 1927). Some authors disagree with Groves'
taxonomic move, and the validity of the genus Oreonax is still debated
(Matthews & Rosenberger 2008; Rosenberger & Matthews 2008;
Cornejo et al. 2009). For the sake of this factsheet and in
recognizance of disagreements over this taxonomic arrangement, Groves
(2001; 2005) is followed but the reader is referred to the Lagothrix
factsheet for similar species.
As it is among the least known of the primates, data on many aspects
of the yellow-tailed woolly monkey behavioral ecology and biology are
scarce (Shanee et al. 2007a; Cornejo et al. 2009). Where data is
lacking, the reader is referred to the woolly monkey factsheet
(Lagothrix sp.) due to presumable similarities between the species.
Yellow-tailed woolly monkeys are large and robust, with thick,
woolly fur, a hairy face and a prehensile tail with a hairless patch on
the underside (Leo Luna 1987; Ramirez 1988; Ankel-Simons 2007). Their
fur is somewhat longer and denser than the other woolly monkeys
(Lagothrix sp.) (Mittermeier et al. 1977; Aquino &
Encarnación 1994). They are deep mahogany or copper, darker
towards the upper body and head where it is nearly black, with a whitish
patch around the mouth, extending from the chin to between the eyes
(Fooden 1963; Mittermeier et al. 1977; Leo Luna 1987; Ramirez 1988).
Males are somewhat darker in color than females (DeLuycker 2007). The
ends of the extremities are nearly black (Leo Luna 1987). There is some
red-auburn coloration on the lower back and tail and the belly has long
dark-brown fur (Aquino & Encarnacón 1994). The
characteristic feature of the species (and the one which gives the
species its name) is the yellowish pelage of the inside end of the last
third of the tail (Fooden 1963; Mittermeier et al. 1977; Ramirez 1988;
Aquino & Encarnacón 1994). This coloration is not present in
infants and juveniles (DeLuycker 2007). Also separating it
morphologically from the other woolly monkeys are its prominent and long
yellowish pubic hair tuft (more prominent in males) and certain
distinctive skull and deciduous dentition characteristics (Thomas 1927;
Fooden 1963; Mittermeier et al. 1977; Ramirez 1988; Aquino &
Encarnacón 1994).
Several museum specimens had an adult head and body length ranging
from 51.5 to 53.5 cm (20.3 to 21.1 in), and the tail was somewhat longer
than the head and body length (Mittermeier et al. 1977).
The only body weight figure available for yellow-tailed woolly
monkeys is around 10 kg (22.0 lb), and is only a rough, unsexed estimate
(Leo Luna 1984 cited in Di Fiore & Campbell 2007; Di Fiore &
Campbell 2007). True body weight is likely close to that of the genus
Lagothrix (Ramirez 1988).
Woolly monkeys spend almost all of their time in trees, and the tail
is used for balance during movement (Ankel-Simons 2007). They can leap
as far as 15 m (49.2 ft) (Butchart et al. 1995).
The yellow-tailed woolly monkey is the largest primate endemic to
Peru. The distribution of the species is both small and fragmented,
occurring only in humid montane forests on the northeastern slopes of
the Andes Mountains (Butchart et al. 1995; DeLuycker 2007; Shanee et al.
2007a; Cornejo et al. 2009). The species is restricted to the western
Amazonas Department and the eastern San Martín Departments of
northern Peru, south and east of the Marañón River, as
well as past and possible occurrence in restricted areas within the
Cajamarca, Huanuco, Loreto and La Libertad Departments (http://www.redlist.org; Graves &
O'Neill 1980; Parker & Barkley 1981; Leo Luna 1982a; Aquino
& Encarnación 1994; Butchart et al. 1995; review in Shanee et
al. 2007a; Shanee et al. 2007a; Cornejo et al. 2009).
Yellow-tailed woolly monkeys are only found in primary tropical and
subtropical premontane, montane, and montane cloud forests (Graves &
O'Neill 1980; Butchart et al. 1995; DeLuycker 2007; Cornejo et al.
2009). It is found between altitudes of 1500 and 2700 meters above sea
level and its habitat is generally difficult as it is mountainous,
steep, rugged, and foggy with many gorges and ravines (Leo Luna 1980;
1982; DeLuycker 2007; Shanee et al. 2007a; Cornejo et al. 2009). The
height of the canopy is usually around 20-25 meters above the ground
with thick ground-level vegetation (Shanee et al. 2007a). Within the
altitudinal range, there are often a number of microclimates, resulting
in a large potential temperature range within which the species lives.
For example, at one yellow-tailed woolly monkey habitat at Yambrasbamba,
Peru, the temperature ranged from a low of 8˚C (46.4˚F) to a
high of 25˚C (77.0˚F) (Leo Luna 1980). There is a somewhat
dry season between March and September and a particularly wet season
between November and February (Leo Luna 1980; 1982).
Knowledge of the ecology of the yellow-tailed woolly monkey is
incomplete (Carnejo et al. 2009). The species is predominantly
herbivorous, consuming mostly fruits and flowers, particularly of the
genera Cecropia (nettles) and Ficus (figs) (Leo Luna 1980; 1987;
DeLuycker 2007). They sometimes eat insects (Leo Luna 1987; DeLuycker
2007). Other recorded dietary items include lichens, leaves, buds,
bulbs, epiphyte roots and petioles (Leo Luna 1980; 1987; Butchart et al
Yellow-tailed woolly monkeys are generally inactive (Leo Luna
In lower altitudes, yellow-tailed woolly monkeys may be sympatric
with white-bellied spider monkeys (Ateles belzebuth), white-fronted
capuchins (Cebus albifrons)
and night monkeys (Aotus sp.) (Leo Luna
1987). White-bellied spider monkeys have been seen associating and
traveling with yellow-tailed woolly monkeys (Shanee et al. 2007b).
A potential predator is the puma (Felis concolor) and raptors elicit
alarm calls (Leo Luna 1980; DeLuycker 2007).

Audit faults EPA in delays probing lead factory dangers
A government audit confirms many of the findings of USA TODAY's 2012 "Ghost Factories" investigation and faults the Environmental Protection Agency for lacking criteria and time limits to screen more than 460 potential lead smelter sites that were first brought to the agency's attention by a scientific researcher in 2001.
In the past two years the EPA has spent an estimated $9.2 million assessing the risks of lead contamination at the sites, and the report says 50 sites have been identified that pose dangers to human health and the environment. At greatest risk are young children, who can suffer lost intelligence and other irreversible health effects from lead exposure.
The EPA took more than 12 years to complete preliminary assessments of the sites, but is now making progress, the EPA Office of Inspector General reported Tuesday. The office made several recommendations, including that the EPA create a process to better evaluate sites in the future that are referred to the agency outside of a formal petition process, as well as establish guidance for addressing those that are in urban settings with multiple potential sources of lead contamination.
"The damage that can result from lead contamination caused many in the EPA, Congress and the media to become appropriately alarmed about whether and how these historical smelter sites were being addressed," said Carolyn Copper, an assistant inspector general for program evaluation.
"The EPA has made progress in assessing the risks of lead contamination under difficult and unclear circumstances," she said. "The EPA also recognizes that it can do more to improve its effectiveness and management approach on these challenging issues in the future."
The EPA has agreed with the report's recommendations and is working on addressing them between now and September 2016, the report says.
In a statement to USA TODAY, the agency said: "We continue to make progress in addressing lead-contaminated soil across the United States, and believe the documented reduction in children's blood–lead levels substantiates the important public health progress our efforts have achieved."
In April 2012, USA TODAY's "Ghost Factories" investigation revealed that the EPA was given a list in 2001 of closed lead factories, called smelters, that primarily operated and shut down during the 1930s through the 1960s, before the era of environmental regulation. The EPA was warned by the scientific researcher who compiled the list from old business directories, William Eckel, that many of the long-closed factories had likely contaminated the soil in surrounding properties with a toxic layer of lead fallout from their smokestacks, a risk to children playing in the dirt and putting dusty hands and toys in their mouths. Lead can remain in the top few inches of soil for hundreds of years.
Despite Eckel's warning, published in a scientific journal article, USA TODAY's examination of all 464 sites on the list found that federal and state regulators had done little to investigate many of the sites or warn thousands of families and children in harm's way.
Using historical maps, archival documents and old phone books, reporters confirmed that about 230 of the sites on Eckel's list had been smelters — and they located sites even when dozens lacked exact street addresses. Most of the others on the list, they found, were business offices that didn't produce any lead pollution; others couldn't be located. Reporters traveled to 13 states and tested more than 1,000 samples of soil around 21 former smelter sites revealing dangerous levels of lead in soil where children played. The series, including videos and a multimedia interactive allowing users to view details of more than 230 sites, is online at ghostfactories.usatoday.com.
Even after the EPA and state regulators began reassessing sites in 2012 in response to the series, USA TODAY evaluated their work and found some investigations were cursory and illogical, with investigators closing the books on several sites without doing any soil testing, despite the sites' close proximity to residential areas where children play.
Tuesday's report says auditors, in reviewing a sampling of 42 of the "Eckel sites," found that one of them lacked documentation and that subsequent screening showed the need for additional assessment and soil testing "because of the site's location in a residential area in close proximity to a school."
The EPA, in a statement said, the issues involved missing paperwork at a Utah smelter site and "do not call into question the assessment work performed at other sites on the Eckel's list."
As of late 2013, the EPA was still assessing five sites; 50 others have been referred for cleanups and the agency has determined that 409 need no further action, according to the agency and a spreadsheet detailing the status of each site released to USA TODAY on Tuesday.
Just over half of the assessments of the 464 sites have occurred since 2012, the report said. From 2001 to 2012, the EPA's regional offices annually assessed only a small fraction of the sites, as few as two and as many as 38 per year, the audit found.
Among the reasons for EPA's delays, the report says:
• The sites were flagged to the agency's attention through a researcher's scientific journal article rather than through a more typical formal petition process with required time limits for evaluations. When the agency distributed the list to regional offices "for informational purposes only, the EPA created an awareness of the sites without a clear expectation for action."
• Many of the sites lacked addresses or detailed location information needed for the agency to act.
• The EPA had a site assessment backlog of about 5,100 sites in 2001.
"Today's report underscores the need for the U.S. to do more to protect neighborhoods and clean up these sites," said U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, who has expressed concern about several sites on the Eckel list in Cleveland. "I'm encouraged that the EPA has made progress in identifying these harmful legacy sites, but more must be done to ensure families know about these sites and can protect their children."
How or even whether to address heavily contaminated soil in urban neighborhoods that surround former lead factories on the list remains a vexed issue for the agency, the report indicates. EPA staff are concerned about how much of the lead came from the specific factory versus other sources. The agency has said that while it has jurisdiction over the lead that came from old factories, it doesn't have authority over the fallout from leaded gasoline or flaking lead-based paint.
"Nonetheless," the auditors wrote, "the contamination still exists and presents a potential risk to public health." They added that in such cases creating barriers between the public and the contaminated soil and conducting public education programs can be appropriate response actions by the agency.
One region visited by investigators had conducted a pilot study using sophisticated scientific testing to try to identify the source of lead in soil by comparing the "species" of lead in the ground with types found in paint and old auto emissions. Auditors noted that this kind of testing can be costly and time consuming, and raised questions about how much resources should be focused on attempting to link contamination to a site.
"The lack of information and clear guidance on assessing lead at former smelter sites created uncertainty for the site assessment managers we spoke with," the auditors wrote and noted this could result in unequal protection and cleanups for those living in areas where the lead source is uncertain.
The continued lack of cleanups around such urban factory sites frustrates some residents. Many of the yards where USA TODAY found the highest levels of lead contamination were near former smelter sites in cities like Philadelphia, Cleveland and Chicago.
"How much time are we going to spend finding out where it came from, rather than finding out what we should do about it?" asked Lisa Conway. The mother of two young children lives in a Philadelphia neighborhood that surrounds the site of a massive former factory site that operated for more than 140 years under various names, including John T. Lewis, National Lead and Anzon. Tests by USA TODAY and the EPA have found hazardous levels of lead in residents' yards.
Conway and her husband, Mike, have added clean topsoil and sod to their backyard to help protect their children from the old soil below. "That was a fairly expensive measure," she said. Despite USA TODAY's series, she says neighborhood awareness of the potential soil hazards in the area remain "ridiculously low" because of an ongoing influx of new residents moving into the area.
Sandy Salzman, executive director of the New Kensington Community Development Corp., which serves the neighborhood, said her group is working with the EPA to offer free blood testing for lead and anonymous soil testing to area residents. She said she's hopeful the tests will help provide data to support a cleanup.
John Pendergrass, a senior attorney at the Environmental Law Institute in Washington, D.C., said he's found the agency is often inconsistent across the country in how it handles lead-contaminated sites in urban areas.
"At its best EPA has used Superfund authority and funds to remediate wide-area lead contamination coupled with heath education (and other measures) to reduce exposure and risk at such sites," Pendergrass said. "But, at sites that look similar to outsiders, other EPA regions have taken little action. I think such sites require an element of creativity, since these sites are not typical Superfund sites."

1:05 p.m.: TIME contributor Eben Harrell is walking around Boston and emailed this observation: "Almost every business is closed. The 'shelter in place' guidance has essentially shut down a major American city. It creeps me out how easy it has become to [paralyze] the entire city."
Update: An earlier version of this post included comments by TIME stringer Eben Harrell that have been revised. The original post stated that "It creeps me out how easy it has become to [paralyze] the entire city — after all that talk of 'tough' Boston." Harrell says, "As a Bostonian who has witnessed first-hand the incredible resilience of this city, I was attempting to question whether the lock down was too restrictive and whether the police should just let Boston be Boston."
12:30 p.m.: In a press conference, Massachusetts State Police said there will be a controlled explosion in Cambridge on Norfolk Street. They also said about 60 percent of the search in Watertown has been completed. Boston Police reiterated that in a tweet:
#CommunityAlert: Per Mass State Police: "60% of the search is done but there is still more work to be done."—
Boston Police Dept. (@Boston_Police) April 19, 2013
Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick (D) urged residents of Boston and Watertown to remain inside and not open doors for anyone other than a law enforcement official. Boston Mayor Thomas Menino offered some uplifting words: "We're not going to let terrorists win over. We're going to get through this. We're going to be a stronger city, and we're going to move forward."
11:45 a.m.: Ruslan Tsarni, the bombing suspect's uncle, has called on the young man to "turn yourself in" and "ask forgiveness" from the victims, the AP reports. "You put a shame on the entire Chechen ethnicity," he said in video that just aired on MSNBC.
11:35 a.m.: President of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov has put out a statement, which can be seen on Instagram. Foreign Policy posted an English translation on its website. Here's a key excerpt:
Any attempt to make the connection between Chechnya and Tsarnaevys if they are guilty, [is] in vain. They grew up in the United States, their attitudes and beliefs were formed there. It is necessary to seek the roots of evil in America. From terrorism to fight the whole world. We know better than anyone else. We wish recovery to all the victims and share the feelings of sorrow Americans.
11:00 a.m.: President Obama met with senior aides in the White House Situation Room Friday morning, including not just his domestic security officials but also those charged with international affairs.
"Participating in the briefing are Attorney General Eric Holder, FBI Director Robert Mueller, Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, National Security Advisor Tom Donilon, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco, Deputy National Security Advisor Tony Blinken, Deputy Chief of Staff Alyssa Mastromonaco, Deputy National Security Advisor For Strategic Communications Ben Rhodes, Deputy Counsel to the President Avril Haines and National Security Advisor to the Vice President Jake Sullivan. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Secretary of State John Kerry, and CIA Director John Brennan joined by video conference."
Officials have still not released any information about a possible motive for the terrorist bombings. But the fact that CIA Director Brennan and Secretary of State John Kerry joined the conversation suggests that an international element to the attacks is, at least, under discussion.
10:48 a.m.: Harvard University will also be closed all day, according to a statement: "Events continue to unfold in the ongoing law enforcement search for an armed and dangerous suspect in an area not far from the Cambridge/Allston campus."
10:44 a.m.: New message on the UMASS-Dartmouth website:
10:30 a.m.: The University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth is now closed after reports that one of the suspects is a registered student. "Individuals on campus should shelter in place unless instructed otherwise," according to a statement on the UMASS Dartmouth website.

A pregnant British woman is angry and expressing her ire to the press because she was forced to sit on the floor of a train.
Victoria Poskitt, 40, is five months pregnant with her first child, and while riding a packed train from central London to the city suburbs she felt unbearably nauseous.
Poskitt, who commutes to London daily for her job, told the London Evening Standard that she informed passengers she was feeling ill but nobody offered their seats.
Poskitt also asked a rail worker for a pass to move into first-class but she was again refused a seat. The company policy is to move pregnant women who are no more than 20 weeks from their due date to first-class if seats are unavailable in coach. The rider also must have a monthly pass and Poskitt didn't qualify. She pays for individual tickets because she commutes only three times a week.
With no other options, Poskitt fell to the floor of the coach where she lay for the duration of the trip.
Should a passenger have given up his seat in coach? Should you give up your seat for a pregnant woman?
On trains and buses, it's common knowledge and often noted with signs that passengers should give up their seats for the elderly and disabled. What's more good manners stipulate that you give up your seat to anyone—whether it's a small child or pregnant woman—who would clearly have trouble standing up on a moving train. Sadly, I've noticed that many don't follow this rule. While riding the Muni train in San Francisco, I've nudged teenagers plugged into their iPhones to give up their seats to old men with walkers and women with canes.
The elderly and disabled should always get first dibs on seats. Next in line are pregnant women and young children—3-year-olds are probably better off sitting while a 6-year-old can certainly stand and should learn to be gracious and offer a seat to an adult who deserves a rest. Of course, this etiquette become tricky when you mistakenly give up your seat to a woman who looks pregnant but really is not. In other words, people should use their best judgement when offering seats to fellow passengers and it sounds like someone should have given up their seat to Ms. Poskitt. These small acts of random kindness can certainly brighten someone's day and make the world an all-around friendly place.

We are very excited to announce that we are finally getting married! After such a long engagement, I bet you were all starting to wonder whether we would ever get round to planning our big day. Well, this is it. We have it all planned, down to the last minute detail, and we are looking forward to sharing this very special day with our family and closest friends. Here you can find out all the arrangements for the day, as well as RSVP to let us know whether you are able to make it or not.
The ceremony will be at Grace Church on Broadway in New York, starting at 2:30pm.
New Yorkers amongst you will know that parking is notoriously bad in that area, so we recommend you park out of town and either get a taxi to the venue, or get the 4,5,6, N, R, or L train to Union Square. Grace Church is between 10th and 11th streets.
The party will then be moving over to the Rockefeller Center, where we have hired 620 Loft and Garden. Don't worry, we know it may rain, so we've hired a tent, just to be on the safe side. Food and drink will be provided, but you may want to bring a little cash with you for the cash bar.
The best gift that you can possibly give us is your attendance at our wedding. If you would like to give us something else, we would be very grateful if you made a little contribution to our honeymoon in Venice.
Here are a few pictures from our wedding scrap book, so you can get excited along with us about the big day.
We would be delighted if you can share our special day with us. Please RSVP below and choose which meal you and any additional guests would like. Also if you would like to select a song to be played at the evening reception, please feel free to add one.

Montezemolo: вҖңFerrari must remain exclusiveвҖқ
Maranello, 8th May – Luca di Montezemolo addressed more than 250 members of the media today at the Maranello factory to explain key areas of the business to the media, as well as announcing impressive results for the first quarter of 2013.
вҖңI base my plans for Ferrari on four key areas,вҖқ said Montezemolo. вҖңOur team spirit, our passion, our extreme technology and our exclusivityвҖқ this is how he summed up his feelings to the assembled journalists from over 30 countries.
Montezemolo announced impressive first quarter results for Ferrari. A total of 1,798 road cars were sold, excluding the pre-sales of La Ferrari, an increase of 4% on the first quarter of 2012. Revenues also increased to вӮ¬551 million, an increase of 8%. Trading profit was also up 42% standing at вӮ¬80.5 million with Net profit up 36.5% to вӮ¬54.7 million.
He also explained his vision not to increase the production numbers of Ferrari road cars in 2013, the production will be less than 7,000 in 2013.
вҖңI want Ferrari to remain exclusive,вҖқ he explained. вҖңA Ferrari is like a beautiful woman, she must be worth waiting for and desired. I base my ideas on what I learned from Enzo Ferrari, if we produce less cars, we will not flood the market and it makes our used cars more desirable too.вҖқ
The chairman also discussed FerrariвҖҷs investment in the future with an international work force already standing at 2,900 people, he announced that 250 new jobs will be created in Italy this year, with a 20% increase in blue collar workers and opportunities within 3 years for 100 workers to be promoted to professional white collar roles.
вҖңIt is my dream that I am replaced by someone who has come from a blue-collar role,вҖқ Montezemolo enthused. It was not just the investment in the workforce that he announced, but also a вӮ¬100million investment from now until 2015 in the environment in which everyone works. This is on top of the вӮ¬4 million already invested each year in the workers and their families.
Montezemolo pointed out that innovation is the key to success of Ferrari вҖ" none of the models follow the same design – each are individual form the 12 cylinder cars such as the FF to the 8 cylinder California which continues to be the top performing model in the USA. He summed up the range as вҖңDifferent Ferraris for different Ferraristi.вҖқ
He went on to explain that Ferrari is the strongest brand in the world with 95 items displaying the prancing horse sold worldwide every minute. With an international presence in over 61 countries there are currently 54 dealers in the USA, 27 in Great China (a number that is set to increase), 101 in the Europe, Middle East and Asia (EMEA) region and 17 in the Far East (also set to increase).
By far the biggest turnover per market belongs to the EMEA region with the far east and Greater China following second with 28%. Ferrari aims to develop the American market to such a point that it can reach 30% of the turnover by 2017.

McCann, Yanks hand Jays 15th loss in row in Bronx
Recommended Video:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Brian McCann has been helping the New York Yankees win games lately, even if his hitting stats haven't shown it.
He's got some numbers to point to now, after he homered, tripled and drove in five runs to send the Yankees past the first-place Toronto Blue Jays 7-3 on Wednesday night.
"It was about time I chipped it in, and tonight was a good night to do that," McCann said. "It was just nice to contribute -- on the offensive side for a change."
McCann hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the fourth and added a bases-loaded triple in the seventh to help the Yankees beat Mark Buehrle for the ninth straight time and hand the Blue Jays their 15th loss in a row in the Bronx.
"I gave up a flyball to right field that's a two-run homer and we lose the game," Buehrle said. "Same thing as yesterday -- a little 318-foot flyball that ends up going out. It's frustrating when you come out and battle, tonight and last night, and pretty much it's two losses on that short porch in right field."
Rookie Chase Whitley (3-0) remained unbeaten in seven starts since making his big league debut this season.
"We had never seen him as a starter," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "So our expectations have changed a lot."
Buehrle (10-4) was trying to tie Yankees ace Masahiro Tanaka for the most wins in the majors. He gave up three runs and six hits in six innings and lost his third straight start overall.
Buehrle is 1-11 lifetime against the Yankees, with his lone win coming in 2004 while with the Chicago White Sox.
McCann tied his career high with five RBIs. Toronto's Jose Bautista had an RBI double in the eighth for his 1,000th career hit.
The Yankees have taken the first two in a three-game series against Toronto.
McCann's third big league triple, and first since 2009 as an All-Star catcher with Atlanta, came off left-hander Brett Cecil, who had been brought in to face pinch-hitter Ichiro Suzuki with the Blue Jays down 3-2 in the seventh.
Cecil walked Suzuki with the bases loaded to force in a run before McCann put the game safely out of reach.
Cecil said after the game that he would be going on the disabled list due to his nagging left groin injury.
McCann was hitting .174 for June before his homer, which was measured at 348 feet -- not far enough to clear most fences in the majors.
"We really believe in him as an offensive force and he showed it tonight. A couple tough lefties he's facing and he drives in five," Girardi said. "He's done a great job behind home plate, he's never taken it behind home plate."
McCann helped the Yankees respond after the Blue Jays took a 2-1 lead on two-out RBI singles by Colby Rasmus and Dioner Navarro in the top half.
Alfonso Soriano's first-inning single put the Yankees on the board.
Whitley gave up two runs and five hits in five innings. He walked Melky Cabrera in the fifth, ending his streak of starts without a walk at three. His last walk was May 26 against the Cardinals.
NOTES: Derek Jeter saw six pitches in his first four at-bats, going 0 for 4 before he popped up a bunt attempt in the seventh. He hit a double off the wall in the eighth, giving him 533, one behind Lou Gehrig as the Yankees leader. . Brett Gardner singled his first four times for the Yankees before a lineout in the eighth. . McCann was the first Yankees catcher to have a homer, a triple and five RBIs since Elston Howard on Aug. 19, 1962. ... Toronto 3B Brett Lawrie was hit in back of the left hand by a pitch in the fourth inning replaced by Steve Tolleson in the bottom of the fifth. Lawrie said he "should be able to go" Thursday. ... The series ends Thursday night, with Yankees RHP David Phelps (2-4) set to face righty Drew Hutchison (5-4). ... The Yankees' longest home winning streak vs. any team was 19 in a row over Cleveland from June 1960 to April 1962, the team said in citing the Elias Sports Bureau. ... Toronto's Melky Cabrera extended his streak of games with a hit against his former team to 18 with a first-inning single.

this area. We also give people the chance to see these beautiful
animals up close in what would be their natural habitats. By trying to
keep everything as natural as possible for them it helps them to feel
at ease in their enclosures even with people walking so close to their
dens or houses.
