Family: Otariidae, Eared Seals view all from this family
Description Males have a large head with a long pointed snout. Females are like Northern Fur Seals, but have larger flippers, with fur on the foreflipper. Toes on hind flippers are all similar in size. Males do not have enlarged head crest found in other fur seals. Dry fur is brown or dusky black and has a thick, grizzled appearance compared with coarser hair of sea lions. Now breeds and pups only at Guadalupe and Islas San Benito in Baja California, Mexico. A threatened species, rookeries on Southern California islands were hunted to local extinction at the turn of the nineteenth century. Uses precipitous rocky coasts and caves. Hunts fish and squid in the open sea.
Dimensions 1.9-2.4m, 150-220kg; / 1.4-1.9m, 40-55kg
Endangered Status The Guadalupe Fur Seal is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. It is classified as threatened in California. The Guadalupe Fur Seal was nearly exterminated by seal hunters in the 1800s; by 1892 only seven individuals were known to exist. Although a fisherman sold two males to the San Diego Zoo in 1928, and one seal was seen on San Nicolas Island off southern California in 1949, very few were found until 1954 when 14 were sighted on Guadalupe Island, off Baja California. Mexico declared Guadalupe Island a seal sanctuary in 1975, and by 1987 the seal population numbered about 3,259 (including 998 new pups). Later counts indicate numbers around 6,000. A bull established a territory on San Nicolas Island in 1988 and returned there each year through 1991.

Communiversity set for April 24
Posted April 14, 2010; 10:54 p.m.
The Communiversity celebration, which annually brings the town and University together for a day of performances, food, games and more, is planned for noon to 5 p.m., Saturday, April 24.
Scheduled to take place rain or shine on Nassau and Witherspoon streets and the campus, the event is sponsored by students at the University and the Arts Council of Princeton. Merchants, nonprofit organizations, musicians, performing and visual artists, food vendors and many University student organizations and performing groups will turn the area into a colorful fairground with events for students and families alike.
Numerous student and community groups will perform on five stages, on and off campus, and the streets of Princeton and the front of campus will be filled with vendors, information booths, art exhibits and food stands.
The Princeton University Band will kick off the festivities as it marches up Witherspoon Street beginning at 11:45 a.m. Campus Communiversity activities will feature: performance groups including the TapCats, Raks Odalisque, Triple 8, Ballet Folklorico and the Princeton Tango Club; student organization booths with food, demonstrations and activities; sports clinics put on by University athletes on the Firestone Library green; and performances by the University's a cappella groups in the East Pyne arch.
Tours of the campus by the student-led Orange Key guide service will leave from the FitzRandolph Gate throughout the festival. At 2 p.m., the University Chapel will offer an organ concert. The Cotsen Children's Library and the University Art Museum will host a table near the Scheide Caldwell House where children can decorate sun visors. The Lewis Center for the Arts at 185 Nassau St. will feature exhibitions of student work. The Cyclab, Princeton's bicycle cooperative, will offer free bike repairs. The University's tiger mascot and cheerleaders will roam the festivities to greet kids of all ages.
The University's Chinese lion dancers will perform in front of the main stage on Nassau Street beginning at 2:15 p.m. The University's Davis International Center will continue its tradition of participation with an elaborate flag procession starting at 2:25 p.m. on the Nassau Street stage and ending on campus. Each flag will represent a Princeton student's home country. As the culmination of a month of programming for the International Festival, University international students will sponsor a "Global Village" featuring food, information booths, performances and artwork from around the world. As part of the village, the University Rotaract Club will exhibit a "shelter box" used to provide housing for world disaster relief efforts.
The Arts Council of Princeton is expanding the Communiversity spirit to encompass the entire weekend. For more information on events that begin Friday, April 23, contact the Arts Council at 924-8777 or visit the council's website. For more information about Communiversity, also call the University's Office of Community and Regional Affairs at (609) 258-5144.

I enjoyed the Sochi games. As disappointing as they were for the Americans in hockey and snowboarding's marquee stars (White and Jacobellis), they did put forth a great effort in the sliding sports (first individual luge medal ever, silver in skeleton and bobsledding). I think it was 7 medals total. Also, great finishes in the newer sports like slopestyle and such.
Look forward to Rio in 2 1/2 years.

It's October, which means we've been thinking pink. The NFL does it. Avon does it. And yes, we do it, too. Crane & Co. is celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month by donating a portion of the proceeds from our Peace, Hope, Joy Holiday Card to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
It's a lovely card, if we do say so ourselves. The color is Hibiscus — quite festive, don't you think? The printing process is engraving, which is oh-so very elegant. And the card itself is 100 percent cotton paper, which means it's super sturdy and rich in texture. Not to mention environmentally friendly. Oh, and it's completely customizable.
The number of cards we sell will determine the portion of proceeds we can donate, so get a leg up on your holiday to-dos and get shopping!

The 50 Heaviest Songs Before Black Sabbath: #10-1
09 - Cromagnon, "Caledonia" (1969)
Think Throbbing Gristle laid the groundwork for industrial in the late 1970s? Think again. This song features all of the trademark techniques that would later be integral to industrial metal: samples, screamed vocals, machine-like drums and … bagpipes? Fun fact: Much of this song was recorded in the bathroom of a hotel-turned-studio in Manhattan's Upper West Side. (Note: skip ahead to around the 1:10 mark if you're thrown off by the weird, sampled intro)

The Life for a Child Programme has received the generous support of the following companies:
Lilly Diabetes and Lilly Foundation
Lilly Diabetes provide free insulin for a number of countries supported by the Programme. Over 7,000 children and youth have been helped by donated Lilly insulin and Lilly has pledged to increase this support to cover the insulin needs of up to 24,000 children in the developing world by 2013. Lilly have also provided donations to Rotary International and these funds have been used to provide matching grants for Rotary Club activities in support of the LFAC Program. Many Lilly employees also support the Programme directly over many years.
Nipro Diagnostics
For the past five years Nipro Diagnostics, Inc. (a subsidiary of Nipro Corporation) have been providing reduced-price strips to Life for a Child for a small number of countries. In February 2012, Nipro advised LFAC of a significant and very generous increase in their support for the Programme, markedly decreasing the cost of both test strips and meters specifically for LFAC. This came through an existing strong relationship Nipro has with the Australian Diabetes Council, who have continued to champion LFAC with the company. Excitingly, it will allow LFAC to fully support many children who currently receive donated insulin from Lilly Diabetes, but who are not yet monitored, and also to help a number of new children.
Johnson & Johnson/LifeScan
Johnson & Johnson/LifeScan have provided significant financial contributions to the Programme.
Becton Dickinson
Boehringer Ingelheim
Eastman Kodak
Landmark Group
Medtronic, Inc.

By NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – A car crashed into McKinney's Unique Fashions storefront at 606 N. Gloster St. around 4:20 p.m. Saturday. The driver of the vehicle was transported to North Mississippi Medical Center with injuries. No details were immediately available on those injuries.
The business has extensive damage from the crash. Shattered glass and bricks were strewn about after the accident. No one inside the building was injured.
The dress shop is in the same building with a hair salon and barber shop.
Building owner Lola McKinney was at the scene shortly after the accident. "One of my workers was here" in the dress shop, she said. "I'm just thankful he wasn't hurt."
The Tupelo Police Department is investigating the crash.

They could be easily hung on wall pegs to allow for the ecstatic "shaking" dancing prayers for which the "Believers" became commonly known."

|Charlize Theron
Some celebs just have it. Charlize Theron just… has it! We last saw her holding her own opposite box-office king Will Smith in Hancock last year, and didn't see her around the same time in Sleepwalking. But a star of her caliber doesn't need to be a constant presence in the tabloids to still be relevant. She's much too classy a dame to stoop to mediocre headline-grabbing stunts and torrid affairs to stake her claim in Hollywood. She is a star. Always shining, always admired. That being said… enjoy her awesome pokies.

By Blake Long/Special to the Journal
NEW ALBANY – The senior leadership of Henry Foster and Devonte Williamson helped Ingomar advance to the title match of the Union County Tournament.
The duo of Foster and Williamson combined for 45 points and 18 rebounds to help the Falcons defeat top-seeded East Union 65-62 at Memorial Gymnasium.
"I thought that for the most part I had two seniors that were playing very hard to make sure they had an opportunity to play in the finals," said Ingomar coach Jonathan Ashley. "Devonte and Henry both made good plays down the stretch."
Foster scored a game-high 23, including 12 in a row in a crucial fourth-quarter stretch for the Falcons (15-8).
East Union had just taken a 48-46 lead on a Jonathan Valle layup two minutes into the fourth before Foster knocked down three straight 3-pointers.
The latter trey came after a nice hustle play by Sam Cobb in which he stole the ball and flung it back in bounds to Foster while running into the bleachers.
The Urchins hung around and were within two points as late as 20 seconds to play, but Ingomar made just enough free throws to secure its championship date with New Albany tonight.
Williamson had a double-double with 22 points and 11 boards. Vadale Rucker led East Union (13-7) with 18 points and Dontrell Lattimore scored 17.
(G) West Union 35, Ingomar 22: Defense helped the Lady Eagles (15-4) advance to today's 6 p.m. championship game against host New Albany.
Ingomar (13-9) trailed 18-11 after the first quarter, but West Union held the Lady Falcons scoreless in the second and to a total of only eleven points over the final three periods.
"We've worked on effort, determination, and hard work and they've proven to me that that's what they're going to give me," said West Union coach Kelly Robbins.
Hannah McQuary and Julianna Garner each scored eight points for the Lady Eagles to lead all scorers.
(B) New Albany 67, Myrtle 58: In the nightcap, Bernard Spight led three New Albany (11-8) double-digit scorers with 15. Robert Montgomery had 23 points for Myrtle (11-9).

I would like to thank Spider Cable for the review sample and my apologies for taking so long in writing this review. Since I have had these I have used them about 75% of the time when I am using earphones, which probably averages about two hours per day. So I have put quite a few hours..." --Carlsan

For additional information, refer to the Resource Checklist for IS Committee Chairs.
1. When does my appointment as committee chair begin and end?
Refer to the appointment form you signed and returned to the IS Vice-Chair for specific dates of your term. Your appointment as chair begins immediately after Annual Conference of the year noted. After the Annual Conference of the year your appointment begins, you will be added to the committee and Advisory Council rosters and lists. Your term concludes after the Annual Conference of the second year shown on your appointment form. You will be removed from the committee and Advisory Council rosters and lists about one month later, so you have time to complete last minute works such as finalize meeting minutes.
2. What projects will my committee be charged to work on?
Familiarize yourself with your committee charge and your committee web page. If possible, meet with the outgoing chair at Annual Conference about current activities, programs, and projects. Soon after the Annual Conference, the outgoing chair should send you the committee files and internal documents as well.
3. What deadlines do I have?
The Timetable for Incoming Committee Chairs provides a calendar of the typical deadlines shared by all IS committee chairs. One of the first deadlines for committee chairs is related to the committee's planning forms. The Annual Planning Information links to a timetable and the online forms. It is a good idea to talk with the outgoing committee chair, who can explain committee-specific deadlines and can give you valuable information regarding previous work of the committee.
4. How and when do I update my committee's web site and roster?
The Tips for Committee Web Pages provides guidelines regarding committee web pages. At a minimum, committee chairs should ensure that their committee's web site is updated in July, December, and April. Inform your committee members that if their email address changes they will need to inform the IS Committee List Administrator, as well as update their information via the ALA web site.
5. What are the deadlines for the IS Newsletter submissions?
The deadline for the Fall Newsletter is usually late September and the deadline for the Spring Newsletter is usually early March. The dates will be announced on the ILI-L list and Advisory Council list well in advance of the deadlines. The IS Newsletter Editor will announce the dates at the Advisory Council meetings and on the Advisory Council list. All committees are encouraged to submit a brief update about a project, publication, or event handled by their committee in either the fall or spring newsletter. It is a good idea to contact the editor to discuss the length of the article and deadline in advance of sending a submission.
7. What is the difference between IS Advisory and IS Executive?
The IS Executive Committee consists of the IS Chair, Vice-Chair, Past Chair, and Secretary and Members-at-Large; all Executive Committee members are elected by the IS membership. The IS Advisory Council consists of the members of the Executive Committe plus the chairs of all standing committees and special committees of the Section. The committee chairs are all appointed by the IS Vice-Chair. Additionally, the IS Web Site Administrator(s), IS Newsletter Editor, IS Archivist, and LOEX director serve as ex-officio members of the Advisory Council. The Advisory Council meetings provide a forum for all committee chairs to exchange information and discuss issues. For further clarification, browse the Structure of the Instruction Section.
8. How do I know when to submit a proposal to Executive Committee?
View this pdf document to help you determine if submitting a proposal is necessary.
9. What is the role of the Executive Committee Liaison to my committee?
In July, the IS Chair will identify a member of the IS Executive Committee to serve as a liaison to your committee. The Executive Committee Liaison will be added to your committee's email list and may attend some of your committee meeting during conferences. The Liaison is your connection to the Executive Committee; they can interpret policies, guide you through procedures, bring proposals and questions from your committee to the Executive Committee for review and action, and generally facilitate your work as committee chair.
9. What types of projects require Executive and/or ACRL approval?
Any product of committee work requires approval by either your Executive Committee Liaison or by the entire Executive Committee. Some publications require additional approval by an appropriate ACRL committee; a list of these types of publications can be found with the IS Publication Policies and Procedures Manual's description of Type 3 Documents. Always start with your Executive Committee Liaison who can determine what additional review or approval is needed for any projects including announcements, handouts, surveys, evaluation forms, local arrangements, speaker arrangements, discussion topics, publications, and more.
10. What process do I follow when my committee wants to propose a project to Executive?
Generally, committees have a large amount of work to complete the responsibilities for ongoing projects, publications and events. If your committee has a new project, first discuss the project with your Executive Committee Liaison. Once you and your Liaison have worked out the details of the project, the Liaison will present your proposal to the Executive Committee and report the Executive Committee's recommendation back to you in a timely fashion. Please note, however, that Chairs should not propose new projects in the Planning forms unless they have followed the process outlined above.
11. What approval do we need before publishing an article that is a result of committee work?
Articles produced as a result of ALA/ACRL committee work are considered "Type 3 publications" and require approval. For details, please consult the IS Publication Policies and Procedures Manual.
12. How do I schedule rooms and equipment for committee meetings?
The IS Chair will contact all committee chairs about requests for committee meeting rooms and equipment for the Midwinter Conference (about September 1) and Annual Conference (about October 1). Once the rooms are confirmed by ACRL, the IS Chair will send a complete list of the meeting locations to the Advisory Council email list and have it posted to the IS web site. The IS Chair should bring copies of the room request forms to the conference for each committee chair in case there are problems. More details about the process, types or rooms, and types of equipment is available on the Tips for Section Chairs Scheduling ALA Conference Meetings.
13. Who is responsible for committee meeting minutes?
The committee's secretary has the responsibility of taking minutes at the meeting, sending drafts to the committee for approval, sending final minutes to the IS Secretary, and distributing copies of the minutes at the next committee meeting. Additional details are outlined in the Tips for Taking Minutes document.
14. How do committee members and program speakers get reimbursed?
Before committing to any expense, obtain approval from the Executive Committee. Contact your Executive Committee Liaison who will take the expense to the Executive Committee for review to ensure that the request meets the ACRL Reimbursement Policy and IS basic services budget limitations. If the expense is approved, you will need to submit receipts along with a Reimbursement Request Form (PDF) to the IS Chair for their signature of approval.
15. What do I do if a scheduled speaker for my program withdraws?
One should consult your Executive Committee Liaison immediately. It is wise to have the contact information (hotel and/or cellular phone) for the Liaison at the conferences as well.
16. What do I do if a committee member resigns?
Forward the committee member's resignation email or letter to the Vice-Chair and let the Vice-Chair know if you need someone to fill the vacant position or can continue the remainder of the year with the current committee membership. The Vice-Chair will forward all necessary paperwork to ACRL and the IS Committee List Administrator to see that the committee member is removed from the committee roster and committee listserv.
17. Can I remove a non-responsive or inactive committee member?
First, try to determine the cause of the inactivity. Contact the committee member to discuss the committee workload and expectations; there may be opportunities for the committee member to contribute that will work out for all involved. Be sure to keep your Executive Committee Liaison and the IS Vice-Chair apprised of the situation throughout. If you feel it appropriate, you can recommend removal of the committee member, but the Vice-Chair makes the final decision and handles the paperwork. For details regarding acceptable and unacceptable committee member absences from meetings, see the Guide to Policies and Procedures regarding Committee Attendance.
18. How do I get additional members appointed to my committee?
Committee appointments are primarily made in the spring prior to the date they begin. The IS Vice-Chair carefully considers committee volunteers and makes appointments that consider the volunteers' skills and a maximum number of committee members. Except in the case of resignation or an additional special project assigned to a committee, it is rare that additional committee members are added later. If you feel you need additional committee members, contact your Executive Committee Liaison and the IS Vice-Chair, describing your extenuating need.
19. How and when do I turn things over to the next committee chair?
If possible, meet with the incoming chair at the Annual Conference about current activities, programs, and projects. In June, at the end of your term, you will need to submit committee materials to the IS Archives for preservation in the ACRL IS Archives following the Guidelines for Archival Record Retention. By July you should send the incoming chair any committee files and internal documents that will help them throughout the year.

Twenty-three days to take action against impunity
Approximately 30 journalists are targeted and murdered every year, and on average, in only three of these crimes are the killers ever brought to justice. Other attacks on freedom of expression occur daily: bloggers are threatened, photographers beaten, writers kidnapped. And in those instances, justice is even more rare. Today, the Committee to Protect Journalists joins freedom of expression advocates worldwide in a 23-day campaign to dismantle one case at a time a culture of impunity that allows perpetrators to gag journalists, bloggers, photographers and writers, while keeping the rest of us uninformed.

The weather forecast for this weekend here in Eastern Washington is for SNOW SHOWERS and highs around 40 Degrees F. It's the first weekend after the Spring Turkey Hunting season opened on April 15th. Although we enjoy a 6-week season, do you think that turkey hunters going out in such poor conditions STAND A CHANCE of bagging a turkey? Should we just wait for better weather, and take a chance that the turkeys don't become "call shy" or "pressured" by other, die-hard hunters?
Has anybody ever hunted in the snow? Could you follow the turkey tracks? Any advice would be appreciated, since I've NEVER HUNTED turkeys before.

Eating Vegan at National Restaurant Chains
April 17th, 2012 | by The Healthy Voyager
You never know when you are heading out for a meal with a group and need to do the best you can with the menu you are given. No matter where you may be in the U.S. (and Canada), you should have no problem finding a decent meal at any of the places on the list below. Obviously, chain restaurants aren't ideal most of the time, but part of eating vegan in social situations is about showing that veganism isn't all about sacrifice, right? For a lot of folks, eating out at these big chains is where it's at

Reasons to wear a belt: On September 1, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong was kicked off a Southwest flight because his pants were too baggy. And then he tweeted about it. Because that's what Twitter is for.
Reasons to wear a belt: On September 1, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong was kicked off a Southwest flight because his pants were too baggy. And then he tweeted about it. Because that's what Twitter is for.
Generically attractive Josh Duhamel joined the ranks of celebrities who have been kicked off planes because of a Crackberry habit last December. While on a plane heading to Kentucky from New York, Duhamel pulled out his Blackberry and started texting when the plane had already hit the runway. An attendant asked him to turn it off; and surprise! He didn't. The price for his insolence? The plane turned around and went back to the gate, where Duhamel was subsequently given the boot. Don't text and fly, kids. Not even if you're dating Fergie.
Joan Rivers, it seems, has two names on her passport: Her showbiz name Rivers and her late husband's surname Rosenberg. Now, this most likely wouldn't be a problem in the States, because if you're going to pose as someone else in order to hijack a plane, Joan Rivers probably isn't your first choice of disguise; but in Costa Rica, it was a different story. In January of 2010, a security agent at one of the smaller airports in the country decided her passport-- with its two names-- looked suspicious and wouldn't let her board her flight back to Newark. Whoops. She managed to get back a day later, after finding someone willing to drive her seven hours to Costa Rica's main airport.
In 1994, Christian Slater tried to bring a gun on a plane. He was actually arrested before he made it onto the plane, so maybe technically he wasn't kicked off it; but he did end up missing his flight, as well as getting charged with possession of a weapon. I suppose it's a credit to airport security that he got nabbed in the terminal, rather than on the plane itself. Or something.
Back in the middle of July, Brooke Mueller was on a United flight from LA to Cancun that was about to take off when she started to feel sick and tried to run to the bathroom. The flight attendant naturally wouldn't let her go-- that's what airsickness bags are for-- so Brooke freaked out and started to get belligerent. Apparently she asked to be removed from the plane, but it's also possible that she got kicked off for the whole belligerence thing. She'd just started hanging out with Charlie Sheen again when this happened-- think he might be the cause of the mysterious illness that started the whole problem?
Dave Chappelle's tale of air-born woe takes the proverbial cake: While on a flight on a private jet bound for Ohio, the comedian "freaked out" according a witness (and yes, that's a technical term). He refused to put his seat belt on; then he walked into the cockpit, repeatedly asked how much longer the flight would be, and started grabbing the pilot's arms. Then -- according to sources -- Dave repeatedly walked into the cockpit, asking how much longer the flight would be, and started grabbing the pilot's arms. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Chappelle was deemed a safety risk and the plane made an emergency landing in Pittsburgh. A rep for Chappelle tried to explain away the incident by saying that he ate something that didn't sit well with him and that the bathroom on the plane was "not the kind he needed." I'm not even really sure what that means. Then again, maybe I don't really want to know.
In 2009, the Hoff apparently got drunk enough to be deemed "unfit to travel" by British Airways. His rep claims, of course, that he wasn't drunk-- he was just having a bad reaction to some pain medication he had taken for an arm injury-- but come on, Hoff. Don't lie to the puppies.
Okay, so maybe Huffington Post creator Arianna Huffington wasn't quite kicked off a plane due to her Blackberry addiction, but she probably would have been were they not already in the air. On a United Express flight from Washington Dulles to New York, Huffington refrained from turning her Blackberry off after the flight crew had made the standard "please keep all cell phones in the off position" announcement. But it gets better: Another passenger started to heckle her about it, standing up and saying, among other things, "Hey, lady! Don't you speak English?" (obviously, the passenger doesn't read HuffPo). Then, of course, THAT passenger refused to sit down when he was told to. Once the plane hit the ground in New York, both offenders were escorted off the plane and given a stern talking-to. That'll learn ya.
No one ever claimed that Brody Jenner was a good role model, but just to drive that point home, here's a little anecdote for you: In 2007, The Hills star refused to turn off his Sidekick, in spite of the flight staff asking him to do so. And then, for some bizarre reason, a bunch of other passengers on the plane decided that if Brody Jenner wasn't turning off his electronic thingy, neither were they. And then they got mean about it, which resulted in all of them getting booted off the plane by airport police. Moral of the story: If you're going to choose a celebrity to emulate, choose one who's not Brody Jenner.
This one became rather a big deal when it happened in February of 2010: Kevin Smith was kicked off a Southwest flight for being too hefty. He subsequently launched a Twitter attack on the airline-- specifically on the captain who gave him the boot. Southwest, for the record, apologized.
We've heard this one before. And we STILL think it's weird.
No, she didn't kicked off her plane for wearing this crazy, crazy hat. Nope: She called a bunch of kids on her flight from Palm Beach to New York "little fuckers." Loudly. And with feeling. And even though the flight attendants offered to move her to a different seat, she just kept screaming. The plane's takeoff was called off, it turned right around, and Ivana was removed from it. Because that's what you do in the face of a 5-year-olds-- I mean, a 60-year-old's-- temper tantrum.
I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but this one isn't actually Paris' fault: Last December, the entire plane Paris was on was evacuated when a 4-inch serrated knife was found in a seat pocket. It ended up being a box cutter which belonged to the crew, but hey. You never know. It could have been this kitten's. And no one would blame it if it was.

- Description
This handheld panorama is merely a note for my writing. I was out looking at water projects being implemented by Central Asia Development Group and this pano is like a notebook entry. Not meant to be fine photography, or even passable. The images have not been adjusted other than to meld into a pano. This is straight from the camera.
In the "snapshots" Alexander the Great's massive Farah Citadel can be seen. In another snapshot is a small military base with Italians and Americans (and maybe others but that's all I saw).

Family: Anatidae, Ducks and Geese view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE In breeding plumage, has orange-chestnut body plumage, white cheeks, black cap and nape, and bright blue bill. Note also the small white vent. Outside breeding season, body plumage is gray-brown and bill is more dull grayish. ADULT FEMALE Gray-brown plumage, with paler cheeks that are broken by dark line from base of bill; bill is dull blue-gray, similar to that seen in winter male.
Dimensions Length: 14-16" (36-41 cm)
Habitat Local breeding species in east, favoring fresh__water marshes and well-vegetated lakes; nests among emergent vegetation. In winter, found on sheltered estuaries and bays on Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and ice-free lakes and ponds inland.
Range California, Great Lakes, Rocky Mountains, Mid-Atlantic, Texas, Western Canada, Plains, New England, Southwest, Northwest, Florida, Eastern Canada, Alaska, Southeast
Voice Mostly silent.
Discussion Small diving duck that feeds on aquatic invertebrates and submerged roots and seeds. Both sexes regularly cock their spiky-looking tails. Breeding male is unmistakable and engages in "bubbling" chest-beating courtship displays in spring. In winter, all birds could perhaps be confused with a small grebe, but Ruddy Duck's proportionately large bill easily dispels confusion.

Redskins have to lose two for us to get in? No other realistic scenerios?
giants would have to lose 1 more besides us
Someone ran a playoff scenario and found the Giants have to lose 3 games, and finish 8-8. Even after beating them head to head we lose on some tiebreak with them.
There is a way we get in at 8-8 with losing to the Giants. But it involves Chicago losing out, and getting CHI, NYG, and DAL all at 8-8. The 4 way tie would cancel out head-to-head tiebreakers and the Saints would get it.
Scenarios for the Playoffs
edit: there is one outside chance
Washington losses 2 and Giants win division
we must win out (dallas must lose one more game )
Minnesota must only win 1
SEA doesn't matter we can't finish in front of them
STL must lose two (no tie break possible)
Chicago must lose out
I think that's it.
not looking good, but there is a chance.

Awards as the outstanding senior athletes among Hope College graduates in the class of 2013 were presented during the college's Honors Convocation on Thursday (April 25).
Libby Westrate of Grandville (Grandville HS) was presented the John Schouten award while Cory Schmidt Milan, Ohio (Milan HS) received the Otto van der Velde All-Campus Award.
The Schouten award is given to a senior woman who, in addition to excelling in athletics, possesses other strong character traits and leadership abilities. The award is named in memory of John "Jack" Schouten who was a long-time physical educator and coach at Hope, in addition to serving as the college's first director of athletics.
The van der Velde award is presented to a senior man for outstanding contributions to the college in athletics, scholarship and participation in student activities. The award, presented annually since 1932, is named in memory of Dr. Otto van der Velde, a 1915 Hope College graduate who lettered in four sports and was later the college's team physician for more than 40 years.
* A psychology major, Schmidt is a four-year letterwinner in baseball. A pitcher, he has a 4-2 record this season and is 13-5 over his collegiate career. With a 3.95 grade point average, he was recently named to the Phi Betta Kappa national honor society. He is the son of Dr. and Mrs. Eric Schmidt of Milan, Ohio.
* A biology major with a minor in Spanish, Westrate was captain of the swimming/diving team as a junior and senior and was named the outstanding female swimmer in the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) both years. Over her career, she was an individual MIAA gold medal winner 11 times. She holds the Hope records in the 50, 100 and 200 free, the MIAA record in the 50 free and competed in the NCAA championship four years. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joel Westrate of Grandville.

In Maine, you can buy a gun on a Sunday, but you can't buy a car. In fact, in Maine you can buy almost anything you want on a Sunday, except for a car. Maine state law forbids car-buying on Sundays.
The law prohibiting the sale of automobiles on Sundays is a remnant of ancient "blue laws," or "Sunday closing laws." But almost all the blue laws relating to commercial activity have been loosened or eliminated, except for the law against car-buying.
Long ago, and especially during the times of the Puritans, many businesses shut down their shops on Sundays. But in the modern world there is plenty of commerce taking place, with malls and restaurants and theaters remaining open.
Does it make sense to you that you can go shopping for items like couches, clothing, televisions, computers, and shotguns on a Sunday, but not for automobiles? We should get rid of this law against car shopping that restricts our independent choices for no good reason.
The Maine law prohibits engaging in the "buying, selling, exchanging, dealing or trading of new or used motor vehicles on Sunday." Car dealers who violate this law face harsh economic penalties.
There have been recent attempts at repeal. In February, state representative Don Pilon of Saco introduced a bill in the Maine Legislature to overturn the law. His effort was squashed, ironically enough, by the Committee on Economic Development.
As far as I'm concerned, this law against car-buying is draconian.
I celebrate the Sabbath on Saturday, not Sunday. For me and my family and my community, it's really difficult to purchase a car in Maine. Whereas laws should be designed to bring order to society, this law makes our lives chaotic. When we try to buy a car, we are squeezed for time. We must take off from work to go car shopping, and our time window for shopping for a major purchase is very limited.
Maine is one of the few states in our country that has Sunday closing laws in effect for automobile shops.
In my opinion that this law is religious coercion, because it mandates that society observe the Christian Sabbath in a certain way. Those types of laws are too restrictive. We once closed down movie theaters on Sundays in Maine, but no longer. We do not tolerate mandates about what we, as a society, can and cannot do on the Sabbath. That's what the Taliban do in Afghanistan; that's not what we do in America.
The big question then is: Why is this law against car shopping still around?
The answer is that many car dealerships and those who work at dealerships are afraid of what may happen if the law is changed. They are concerned that they will have to work on Sundays and this will cause hardship for their families. I respect those concerns. But car dealers can still decide to remain closed, after the restrictive law is cancelled. There are many owners of stores who close up shop on Sunday without state interference, and car dealers can do the same thing. The state, however, has no business mandating closures of car dealerships.
Our legislators have a responsibility to abrogate this unfair law. They must ensure that we have a system of law in Maine that is reasonable, logical, and which does not discriminate. Their job is not to be accountable to special interest groups, such as car dealerships.

The hand develops normally in the vast majority of people, resulting in five normally functioning digits.
Syndactyly is the abnormal development of the hand, such that the fingers are fused. The number of digits fused and whether or not the bones and nails of the fingers are fused is variable. Surgical repair is indicated in cases in which functional ability or cosmetic appearance is impaired.
Skin areas to be repaired are marked. The skin is incised, and the fused tissues are separated, including bone if necessary.
Small flaps at the sides of the fingers and in the web are lifted up. These flaps are sutured into position, leaving absent areas of skin. These areas are filled in with full thickness skin grafts taken from the groin. The hand is then immobilized with bulky dressings or a cast.
The results of the repair are dependent on the degree of fusion of the digits. When joined fingers share a single fingernail, the creation of two normal-looking nails is rarely possible. One nail will look more normal than the other. Some children require a second surgery, depending on the complexity of the syndactyly. Hospital stays of 1 or 2 days are common. Small children with hand syndactylies may have a cast put on that extends above the flexed elbow. Sometimes, the cast extends beyond the fingers or toes. This protects the repaired areas from trauma.

Queen of the Rays
Reef manta rays (Manta alfredi) spend all their time hanging around their home reefs
You Mean Those Aren't The Same
Sometimes scientists can't make up their minds. They used to think there were lots of species of manta rays because of color differences. Then they decided there was only one species but lots of different color schemes based on mitochondrial DNA analysis. Everyone was happy with this except for some of the people who spent a lot of time in the field swimming with manta rays. They noticed behavioral differences between manta rays and a size difference to go with the behavior. Then they found the kicker--a vestigial stinger to go with the size and behavior differences. Yep, Andrea Marshall saw what everyone else had missed. There wasn't one species of manta ray. There were two... At least as far as science knows now.
- Discovering A Second Species of Giant Manta at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kMsvpdbR6s
"No Duhs" and Head Scratchers
If you need help scratching a mental itch, use the resources below:
- Do you think it matters if scientists look at specimens in the lab and don't observe animals in their native environment? Why or why not?
- What kinds of information do you think you could gather by having an animal in a lab that you could not gather in the field? Do you think this kind of information justifies holding animals in labs indefinitely? Why or why not? Do you think this kind of information justifies capturing them and then releasing them?
- Explain how the behavioral differences between these two species of manta rays could have led to the formation of the species? Explain your thinking as fully as possible.
- Why is the identification of the two species vital to the conservation of the species? What kinds of information do scientists need to have a good chance at being successful in conservation efforts?

Yoshihiro Sato Wins at Shootboxing 2013 Act. 1
- Written by Dave Walsh
The first Shootboxing event of the year kicked off last night in Tokyo, Japan at Korakuen Hall. The show featured a variety of good fights with a few of the normal Shootboxing faces, headlined by a match between Yoshihiro Sato and the 2012 S-Cup runner-up, Henri Van Opstal.
In the main event event Sato emerged victorious, defeating Van Opstal by decision with scores of 30-29, 30-29, and 29-29. It was a desperately needed win for Sato, who had already dropped his last three fights to Shemsi Beqiri, Sanny Dahlbeck, and Kenta, respectively. A win over Van Opstal puts him back into the ranks of contender. However, as close as the scores were we may need to hold out until a video surfaces before we claim that the Infinity Sniper is back in full form.
In the other big fight on the card Warren Stevelmans beat Bovy Sor Udomson by decision with scores of 29-29, 29-28, and 30-28. This will be Stevelmans' third consecutive victory, coming off wins over Dzhabar Askerov and Hinata. Stevelmans is set to face Johann Fauveau at GLORY 5 London.
Also on the card, Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen won his first Shootboxing match against Kenji Kanai, after being defeated in his debut by Hiroaki Suzuki. It's good to see Hansen taking Shootboxing seriously, and hopefully we'll see him in more events in the future.
