It took decades in the making, but Georgia's first state trooper to die in the line of duty received a special honor Wednesday.
A busy interchange in Macon was dedicated to Sgt. William Frederick Black Jr. An escaped convict shot the 29-year-old in 1940 near Ringgold during a routine traffic stop.
"I'm just blown away; it means so much. I don't know if I can tell you in words," said Glenn Mitchell, blinking back tears. Mitchell, a cousin of Black's, was one of a dozen family members who attended the unveiling of the sign at Interstate 16 and Highway 23.
The ceremony also included a wreath-laying for the Macon native, a fly-over by Georgia State Patrol and a keynote address delivered by Gov. Nathan Deal.
State lawmakers adopted a resolution during the last legislative session to designate the interchange be named in Black's memory.
"I don't think it's too late; it's never too late," said Mitchell.
The state of Georgia plans on enacting similar memorials by the end of 2014 for the remaining 26 state troopers killed on the job.
Col. Mark McDonough, commissioner of the Georgia Department of Public Safety, said the dedication honors not just Black but all law enforcement, those who have fallen and those who still serve.
"It puts a lump in your throat; it does. It's part of what we do, but it's not easy. And this means a lot to everybody," said McDonough.

The Humanscale 900 Standard Keyboard Tray design ensures that users type and mouse within their neutral reach zone, creating a safe, comfortable and sustainable work environment. The neutral zone in a standard office workspace is defined as the area where a user sits and works at a desk and can easily reach and interact with surrounding computer accessories, including a keyboard and mouse. Unlike older generation keyboard and mouse solutions, Humanscale keyboard trays are designed to ensure that nearly all users are able to work consistently within their Neutral Reach Zone, and thus maintain a low-risk posture.

All Humanscale mechanisms pivot 360 degrees from the point where it is mounted to the track. Some users have a need for additional side-to-side adjustability. The lateral slider provides for eight extra inches of movement from right to left. This is a useful feature for someone at a large workstation that requires them to type facing different angles or monitors.
The track mounts to the underside of your work surface. It directs and supports the Humanscale mechanism and keyboard tray as it slides forward and back. Standard length on most mechanisms is 21 5/8 inches. That length ensures that the keyboard tray can be completely stowed under your desk when not in use. Some mechanisms come standard with a shorter or longer track. Consult each description for that information, but all systems can be ordered with any track length.
The clip mouse platform is the only mouse platform that allows the user total adjustment control in all three dimensions- height, depth, forward/back and tilt, allowing it to be adjusted precisely the way you need it. It also easily snaps onto either side of the tray for left or right use, and it's available in two sizes and different height ranges.
Note: The high clip has an extra one inch height for additional adjustment and usability and is the most popular accessory we sell.
The swivel mouse mounts underneath either the left or right front corner of the platform. It swivels out from underneath the keyboard platform easily and tucks out of the way when not in use. This mouse platform is available in right, left and dual configurations. The main difference between the clip mouse and swivel mouse is the adjustability. The swivel platform stays on the same tilt or angle as the keyboard tray; the clip mouse angle can be adjusted independently.
The M2 offers all the advantages of the swivel mouse, but it is slightly larger and offers a uniquely shaped platform. This lets a user bring the mousing surface closer to their body for a lower risk mousing position.
The Humanscale 900 Keyboard Tray can be ordered with a mouse pad to match any of the available mousing platforms.
|MPGEL8 8.5 inch Gel Mouse Pad for 8.5 inch swivel platforms
|MPGEL10 10 inch Gel Mouse Pad for 10 inch swivel platforms
|CMPGEL8 8.5 inch Gel Mouse Pad for 90 or 90H clip mouse
CMPGEL 10 inch Gel Mouse Pad for 91 or 91H clip mouse
Select from four different palm rest options for your 900 keyboard tray: All are covered with an easy to clean, black synthetic leather.
The 19 inch slim gel palm rest with synthetic leather cover is only about a quarter of an inch thick and is available in black or silver. Slim palm rests are not compatible with swivel mouse platforms.
A keyboard tray is a key component of an ergonomic workstation. Position your keyboard tray so you can type and mouse while keeping your wrists straight. The ideal height for the keyboard is at elbow height or lower. Typically you should locate the keyboard tray just above your lap height. Your upper arms should hang comfortably at your sides as you work. The keyboard tray should be gently sloped or tilted away from the user to allow the wrists to be straight instead of flexed. When properly adjusted, a keyboard tray allows the back, neck, shoulders, and wrists to relax. The size of the keyboard tray must accommodate the keyboard and any input device like a mouse. Avoid having your keyboard on a tray and your mouse on the desk.
Additionally, be sure to measure under your desk to make sure the track will fit from front to back. It's better to have a slightly shorter track than one that is too long. If you have any questions or need additional information, please don't hesitate to contact us via email or by phone.

Lightened by the silence//Max and Phoenix
He could feel it as he traced his finger along the curve of turquoise track that spidered downwards across the other male's wrist. A steady beat, a pulse that was set to a gentle rhythm; echoed by the soft hum of his breath. Max let his finger wander down stream, blunt crescent of his thumb nail following the sinuous flow of vein until it became invisible about half way up his forearm. But Phoenix wasn't reacting to the feather soft touch of the others thumb, his own eyes focused on the screen that was flickering; pixilated colour bouncing blue off the light coloured walls. Max sighed, attention span at that of five year olds, shifting slightly in his seat.
The two were sat on one of the two threadbare couches, tossed precariously atop were an abundance of garishly coloured throw cushions; unessicary bulges that his mother and Lavender alike had insisted on. The younger of the two was sat in between Max's legs, head resting on his torso, bobbing up and down with every inhale and exhale.
"Can we watch something else?" he murmured into the others ear, letting his lips linger for longer than nessicary, only pulling away to retrieve the remote that was balancing on the arm of the sofa. It was peaceful. Things between the two always were, gentle hum of the television set filling the silence that was otherwise comfortable, with a unessicary purr of sound. Sound that wasn't needed, it was odd really how natural silence was between them. How they could lie, without a single word uttered, for hours on end without the want or need for conversation.
Max's eyes flickered momentarily to the side, eyes greeting the tiled surfaces of his lead in kitchen. Phoenix had made dinner and the crockery was still sat on the kitchen counter. Unwashed plates and sterling silver forks jewelling the granite in a display of laziness. Neither wanted to face the sud ridden fate that washing up entailed, so they left it, retiring to the sofa with far more enthusiasm.
"Monday night TV is horse shit…" Max muttered to himself, flicking between channels. Thumb pressing the plastic button with increased force as the options dwindled to that of the news and a poorly executed documentary on the Amazon. "Shit, shit, more shit…" he continued remote pointed to the box, repeating the same stations over and over in the false hope that something interesting would crop up between the rubbish. But that's when the other shifted, the hips that were positioned between his thighs pushing back some as he stretched, Phoenix didn't have to say anything but even Max was becoming bored of the routine, tossing the control to the floor with a nonchalant flick of the wrist.
"We'll have to make our own entertainment wont we?" he said with an impish grin, tongue coming out to drag across the skin of his bottom lip. Max let his hand trail the skin of Phoenix's forearm once more, coming up and over the crease of his elbow this time before swooping back down to rub the roughened clench of his knuckles. "Thanks for dinner" he said simply, placing his hands either side of the man's hips pulling him closer, so the space between them was nonexistent. Max's lips settling in quarry of Phoenix's bent neck, folds pressing into the skin up and down the neck repeatedly.

Fresno, CA is more than a pit-stop! -Veronica Stumpf, CRE Broker of Stumpf & Co. (BRE Lic. #01906952)
I adventured to the outskirts of Clovis to attend the Organic Stone Fruit Jubilee last weekend.
The event didn't quite live up to the name "jubilee." I imagined people picking fruit while dancing vigorously to loud music. I'm still amazed that people traveled from Nicaragua to attend this event!
Still, it was a lovely experience. They have a diverse herb garden. Walking through the garden inspired me to finally extract the oil from the rosemary plant my boyfriend gave me for my birthday (BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER :) ). To-night I will attempt to make my own rosemary shampoo!
Here's to domestic bold challenges!
Have a lovely day in Fresno!

LEITH, N.D. (AP) -- A white supremacist who tried to take over a small North Dakota town has sold his house there.
Leith Mayor Ryan Schock says 62-year-old Craig Cobb sold the home to a resident of nearby Carson, and Grant County records confirm that.
Cobb is accused of terrorizing Leith residents with guns last November. He has pleaded not guilty to seven counts of felony terrorizing and remains jailed. He could face up to 35 years in prison if convicted.
A district judge on Monday gave attorneys in the case three weeks to try to work out a plea deal.
Cobb purchased a dozen lots in Leith after moving there about two years ago, and still owns three.

The last major NBA award for the 2013 season was handed out on Wednesday and to the disappointment of New York Knicks fans, it did not go to one of their own.
After leading the Denver Nuggets to a franchise best 57 win regular season, George Karl was named the NBA's Coach of the Year.
Karl worked wonders with a lineup that lacked an All-Star, was hit hard by injuries to several starters and twisted its way through a brutal early-season schedule in which 22 of the team's first 32 games were on the road. In leading the Nuggets to the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference, Karl was named Coach of the Year for the first time in his 25-year coaching career.
It was well deserved.
Despite not having a dominant scorer- Ty Lawson led the Nuggets by averaging only 16.7 points per game- the Nuggets finished an amazing 38-3 at home on the season and finished with the fourth best record in the NBA.
Karl received 62 first-place votes, followed by the Miami Heat's Erik Spoelstra with 24 votes from a panel of sports writers and broadcasters.
The Knicks Mike Woodson finished third and San Antonio's Gregg Popovich, who won the award last season, was fourth.
Karl had 404 votes overall, which blew away Spoelstra's 190.
He is 1,131-756 in his 25 seasons as head coach and his 21 straight non-losing seasons ties Phil Jackson for the longest streak in league history.
Overall he was the right choice. It would have been nice to see Woodson win the award, but this was Karl's to lose. If anyone had a legitimate gripe it would have been Spoelstra, who led the Heat to the best record in the league and saw them win an amazing 27 games in a row.

A memorial Poem from Newton, CT...Author Unkwown
Twas' 11 days before
Christmas, around 9:38
when 20 beautiful children stormed through heaven's
Their smiles were contagious; their laughter filled the air,
......they could hardly believe all the beauty they saw there.
were filled with such joy; they didn't know what to say,
they remembered
nothing of what had happened earlier that day.
"Where are we?" asked a
little girl, as quiet as a mouse.
"This is heaven." declared a small boy,
"We're spending Christmas at God's house."
When what to their wondering
eyes did appear,
but Jesus, their savior, the children gathered near.
He looked at them and smiled, and they smiled just the same,
then He
opened His arms and He called them by name.
And in that moment was joy
that only heaven can bring
those children all flew into the arms of their
As they lingered in the warmth of His embrace,
one small girl
turned and looked at Jesus' face.
As if He could read all the questions
she had,
He gently whispered to her, "I'll take care of mom and dad."
Then He looked down on earth, the world far below,
He saw all of the
hurt, the sorrow, and woe.
Then He closed His eyes and He outstretched
His hand,
"Let My power and presence re-enter this land!"
"May this
country be delivered from the hands of fools",
"I'm taking back my nation,
I'm taking back my schools!"
Then He and the children stood up without a
"Come now my children, let me show you around."
filled the space, some skipped and some ran,
all displaying enthusiasm that
only a small child can.
And I heard Him proclaim as He walked out of

Dish and Google May Have a Wireless Affair!
Shine is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
In the past, food, shelter and clothing were considered to be the basic necessities for the survival of a human being. There were days when people were happy and content with these three things in life. But times have changed. Now we have more to add to the list of the so-called "basic necessities."
Nowadays, internet and mobile phone are the two things without which survival has become difficult. But to bring the internet and mobile services to consumers requires a huge infrastructure. The giants of the industry are aware of this and are in a rat race to capture market share.
The days of a wired network are slowly fading. Wireless is the new buzz word. AT&T (NYSE: T) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ) are two corporate behemoths providing wireless services for internet and mobile services.
Dish Network (NASDAQ: DISH) is an American satellite broadcaster, providing direct-broadcast satellite service—including satellite television, audio programming, and interactive television services—to commercial and residential customers in the United States. DISH has been looking for a partner in building out a wireless network with the wireless spectrum—the airwaves that can be used to provide mobile phone and internet services—it has acquired since 2008. According to the chairman of DISH, Charlie Ergen, the company is looking to partner with a corporation that already has wireless towers and related infrastructure for transmitting data, among other expertise in the business. It has been in talks with many companies for potential partnerships to provide wireless services.
Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) is one of the several companies that DISH has held talks with recently. Google is the czar of online business, and now the company has started making its own smartphones and tablets through Motorola. The most–used mobile operating system for smartphones, Android, is also owned by Google. Google is now expanding its ownership of the infrastructure that brings the Web to personal computers and mobile devices, including the wires that connect people's homes to the Internet. Google believes that faster Internet download speeds at home and on mobile devices mean people can use more Google services such as Internet search, Gmail and YouTube video, translating into more revenue for the company.
"From Google's perspective, it wants people to watch 10 hours of YouTube a day on their devices, and what hurts them is (wireless carriers) restricting capacity," said Walter Piecyk, a wireless-industry analyst at research firm BTIG.
This is the reason Google wants to invest in wireless infrastructure. Though Google doesn't have much expertise in wireless infrastructure and doesn't control spectrum, the company has cash – more than $45 billion at the end of September – which could be used to help build a new network.
If Google manages to gain some control over wireless spectrum, it could push to increase Web traffic speeds on mobile devices. Google also could ensure the availability of new services such as Google Wallet, a mobile payments system that currently is blocked by AT&T and Verizon.
Back in June, the chairman of Dish had named T-Mobile USA and Sprint Nextel as possible partners, but both companies have recently unveiled their plans to merge with other companies.
AT&T is an American multinational telecommunications corporation and is the largest provider of mobile telephony and fixed telephony. It also provides broadband subscription television services. In order to strengthen its wireless services and meet the demands of its customers, AT&T had proposed buying T-Mobile for $39 billion last year. But the regulators blocked this deal. Some of the analysts believe that AT&T could be another logical partner for Dish to provide wireless services.
Verizon is an American global broadband and telecommunications company. It is also the biggest rival of AT&T. Verizon purchased spectrums worth $3.9 billion from Bright House Networks, Comcast, Cox Communications and Time Warner Cable that the Federal Communications Commission approved. This is another reason why AT&T has been aggressively seeking out ways to bolster its own spectrum resources. When Dish secures the regulatory approvals, it would have AT&T's infrastructure in place to host its spectrum and AT&T would have the benefit of added spectrum.
Who would partner with DISH is still a mystery. But from an investor's point of view we can say that the partnership will definitely give a boost to the share prices of the companies tying knot with each other. The rumors of possible partnership would also lead to temporary rise in the share prices of the companies. This could be the time for traders to make some quick bucks.

Save more on big-ticket items
How to save on TVs and fridges this holiday season.
This Deal of the Daycomes fromAnnaMaria Andriotisat partner site SmartMoney.
The holiday season may still be one Halloween away, but retailers are already gearing up for one of the hot gifts of the year: refrigerators.
According to many analysts, retailers are expected to offer more deals on home appliances and electronics in the run-up to the holidays than they did last year. And if they do, shoppers will be going for the big-ticket items: As of September, one in almost seven consumers planned to buy computers, up from one in 10 a year ago, according to BIGresearch, which tracks retail trends. TVs are on the list for 10.6% of consumers, appliances for 7.3%.
- Making a big purchase? Estimate your credit score
Most retailers have more inventory now than they did last year -- which means that as the end of the year gets closer, they'll grow more eager to unload it. A 30% discount is typical early in the holiday shopping season, analysts say, but that could be just the start. The closer the holidays get, the larger the sales could be, and many retailers will throw in freebies on shipping, installation or extended warranties. (Analysts say discounts could hit 60% or more in the days after Christmas, so consumers willing to wait could save double.) Post continues after video.
To get the best deal, figure out what you want before you go to the store and use websites like PriceGrabber and DealTime to compare prices at retailers, including Sears and P.C. Richard & Son. And to time the deals right, start with a game plan.
Here are three tips for saving on a big-ticket purchase this holiday season.
Procrastinate. Sure, it will be tempting for thrill-seekers to run to the stores on Black Friday. But those heavily promoted sales won't include the better-quality models that many consumers want. Instead, retailers will start slashing prices on pricier items during the first two weeks of December, says Casey Chroust, an executive vice president at the Retail Industry Leaders Association. Those will include appliances and electronics that are more energy-efficient, quieter or have more features.
Research appliance rebates. This holiday season will probably be the last for consumers to get a government-sponsored rebate for energy-efficient appliances. Many of the state programs, which are funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, have already depleted their allocation, but 26 states, including New York, Pennsylvania and California, and Washington, D.C., still offer a rebate to consumers who replace their existing appliances, such as refrigerators, clothes washers and dishwashers, with Energy Star models.
Amounts vary by state but generally run up to $500, depending on the product and its price. On a Samsung stainless steel refrigerator, for example, a New Yorker could get a 20% discount and a $105 rebate, lowering the cost from $2,570 to $1,951. To qualify, visit your state's rebate website and submit the application and receipt.
Note from Karen: I replaced my very old fridge with a new, Energy Star-qualified model, got a $100 rebate, and noticed a significant drop in my electric bill.
Free shipping. As retailers create more incentives to increase sales, free shipping and installation should be more common this year, says Steve Koenig, director of industry analysis at the Consumer Electronics Association, who notes that these deals could save consumers up to $100 or more.
Free shipping deals have already popped up for consumers who buy a big-ticket item online. HomeDepot.com is offering free shipping through the end of the year on most purchases of $249 or more, and in late September, Best Buy announced free site-to-store shipping, where items purchased on its website are shipped for free to the Best Buy closest to the shopper.
But don't fall for pitches to join store "shipping clubs," which charge an annual fee to cover postage on all your orders and are unlikely to help you save a lot of money. Also, by joining such a club, you're less likely to comparison shop and find additional savings.

Patient's Stories
Our patients share their stories of recovery
Welcome to the website
MELISA Diagnostics provides a blood test to diagnose metal hypersensitivity. The MELISA® test is used by healthcare professionals worldwide to determine if metals present in dental restorations and surgical and orthopaedic implants are suitable for patients. Metal-induced inflammation might not only cause skin conditions but may also lead to systemic health effects such as muscle pain, fatigue and cognitive problems, among others.
If a health problem begins after you have received an implant, you might benefit from taking a MELISA® test and should consult your doctor or dentist to refer you for testing. MELISA® testing is available through clinics or licensed laboratories.

Transition Bikes TR250 Downhill Full Suspension
|(2 Reviews)
Product DescriptionThe TR250 is the little brother to our world cup proven TR450. It's not afraid to go fast in gnarly terrain, but the TR250 is a more nimble handling bike, with tighter geometry for a more playful feel on the trail. With settings for 180mm or 160mm of rear wheel travel, adjustable head angle and bottom bracket height as well as chainstay length, the TR250 is a truly versatile downhill bike. Designed with bike parks like Whistler in mind, this is the ultimate shuttle and lift bike for someone that cares more about styling jumps than split times. The TR250 build is spec'd with a single crown fork, but the frame is fully dual crown compatible. The size small also makes an excellent downhill race bike for shorter riders.

Strengths: Time went into the testing of this design and it shows. If there are more lively bikes in this category I'd be surprised. It's incredibly laterally stiff, no hint of flex ever. Very compliant and it corners with the best of them. Another huge upside is the simplicity, a novice bike tech can have the rear linkage out, cleaned, lubricated and reassembled in less than 20 minutes and feeling like new. How many modern serious downhill/freeride bikes can claim that? To top it all off it pedals decently when at it's intended speed and has to be one of the best looking bikes of all time. I am a light rider and even for me every input gives back, it's just so fun. I ride Whistler numerous times annually and I can't imagine a better bike for it. To top it all off I had the chance to ride with the companies founders on my local trails and they are stellar dudes and total rippers. This bike is a kickass option for those who want to rip serious terrain but still want something responsive. I love my 250
Weaknesses: Linkage driven single pivot still has some negaitive single pivot traits....ie mild brake stiffening(though greatly reduced over high single pivots) and pedal bob when standing up and grinding it. As well my 2011 250 came stock with Elixir CR's and they have had issues. Beefed up trail bike brakes still struggle to cope with DH demands. The 2012's came with Codes, a much better fit. The rebound on the DXH4 is all but untouchable unless you have skinny fingers(like me) and you have to wrap the seat and chain stays in rubber unless you want an aluminum bear bell deterrent on the trails. At 39.1 lbs it's not the lightest, but with some careful changes 35lbs is not a stretch.

Date Reviewed: October 13, 2012
Strengths: Confidence inspiring! I bought this bike because I wasn't a dedicated downhiller. I wanted a bike I could swap a shorter travel fork in case I wanted a different ride. This bike didn't not disappoint. It makes you commit to lines and conquer your fears. I ran down ruts and roots with no hesitation at all and if I make a mistake I know it would be my fault and not the bike's. Made bigger drops and jumps with no qualms at all.
If you get the chance to purchase one. Go get one! Do not hesitate. It is one sweet ride.
Weaknesses: I found installing the chips to adjust travel was a bit difficult. The linkage being hidden from view is a bit tedious to clean but I see time cleaning it as time getting better acquainted with its beautiful curves.

Like a good user-centered designer, founder Scot Herbst started the project by observing customers in their natural habitats and recording their difficulties using similar products. … With this insight in hand, Herbst rearranged the elements of the bucket to create an asymmetrical, yet better balanced product. "The best part about these little innovations is they didn't add any cost to the product," he says. "They're cost-neutral features that are achieved without adding material or complex tooling." You can't argue with free, but the importance of this design rests less in its features and more why it was developed in the first place.

Washington's tranquil Shaw is an island of blessings
SHAW ISLAND, Wash. - This island isn't all about nuns, but you'll be hard-pressed to avoid the topic. Especially if you're driving too fast on that first hairpin curve just up from the ferry dock, and you meet the prioress rounding the corner in her Subaru.

From Coca, the muddy waters of the lower Río Napo flow in broad curves for over 200km to Nuevo Rocafuerte on the Peruvian border. Long, motorized canoes ply the shallow river, searching for the deepest channels between large and slowly shifting sandbanks, while half-submerged logs wag vigorously in the currents. The region is only sparsely populated, and you'll pass just the odd Kichwa homestead linked to the riverbank by steep dirt footpaths. The Río Napo is the region's motorway, and its network of tributaries and backwaters forms the basic infrastructure to remote indigenous communities deep within the remaining tracts of pristine rainforest. In the forests to the south, between the ríos Napo and Curaray, lies the Waorani Reserve, home to about two thousand people. Their territory acts as a buffer zone to the Parque Nacional Yasuní, Ecuador's largest national park, protecting a number of habitats and an extraordinary wealth of flora and fauna.
Since Coca became more accessible in the 1970s, this wild part of the eastern Oriente has been one of the country's top natural attractions, and also the location of several of the best jungle lodges, which provide the most comfortable way of experiencing the rainforest here. Many of them have an observation tower – a high vantage point to see life in the jungle canopy that's all but invisible from the ground – and own private reserves close to much larger national parks. A number of less expensive jungle-tour operators (see Tours from Coca) also run trips down the Río Napo from Coca, some using their own basic accommodation, others making do with tents and campsites. Añangu, three hours' drive east from Coca, on the edge of the Parque Nacional Yasuní, is one of the few indigenous communities along the lower Napo that has developed its own ecotourism programme.
Parque Nacional Yasuní
Parque Nacional Yasuní
Parque Nacional Yasuní encompasses just under 10,000 square kilometres of tropical rainforest around the basins of the ríos Tiputini, Yasuní, Nashiño and Curaray. The gap at the western end, in the shape of a giant horseshoe, was made into Reserva Waorani in 1990 for the 21 Waorani communities living here; it is effectively a 6000-square-kilometre buffer zone preventing colonization and oil exploitation from the west.
Yasuní is part of the "Napo Pleistocene refuge", an area of rainforest thought to have survived the ravages of the ice age, allowing species here to thrive and diversify, generating scores of endemic species. It's theorized that this long period of development is why the Amazon rainforest is much more biodiverse than its African and Asian counterparts, which the ice age affected. Yasuní claims almost sixty percent of Ecuador's mammal species, including 81 species of bat, larger animals such as jaguars, ocelots, tapirs, twelve primate species and aquatic mammals including pink freshwater dolphins, manatee and giant otters. Over 520 bird species have been recorded, including harpy eagles and sunbitterns, and one recent botanical study found 473 tree species in only one hectare, which is thought to be a world record. Most of the park consists of forest on well-drained soil (tierra firme), but other life zones include seasonally flooded forest (várzea) and permanently flooded swamp forest (igapó). Scientists today believe they've only scratched the surface of identifying all life here.
UNESCO was quick to declare Yasuní an International Biosphere Reserve in 1979 – two months prior to the park's official creation – to strengthen its protected status before oil companies could start prospecting. Despite this, the park is under attack from several of them and roads have already been built into protected areas. At Pompeya, barges ferry oil vehicles across the Río Napo to a gravel road, known as the Vía Maxus after the oil company that built it, which cuts right through the northern arm of the park for 150km. Entrance to the park here is monitored to allow access only to oil workers and members of the three small Waorani communities who live inside Yasuní, preventing settlers from colonizing the forest. Even so, environmentalists complain the road destroyed fifty saltpans, disturbed centres of animal activity and was built of contaminated waste materials. Nor is this the only concern: as many as five oil companies are operating inside the park, and the threat of new roads, waste dumping, destruction and contamination is never very far away. The damage hasn't only been environmental; Waorani living in and around the reserve have persistently suffered from malicious interference, as some oil companies continue to exploit community divisions, bribe leaders, spoil hunting grounds and pollute water supplies.
The Kichwa community of AÑANGU, on the south shore of the Napo, about 66km downstream of Coca, has access to two stunning natural resources. Inside the northern reaches of the Parque Nacional Yasuní and only an hour's walk west from the community, Laguna Añangucocha is one of the largest lakes in the region. It's bordered by dense forest, where peccaries and pumas forage and the waters twitch with caimans, piranhas and paiche, a fish that reputedly nudges the 200-pund mark (though there are rumours some weigh twice as much). The area is also excellent for birdwatchers, holding 560 species and two parrot licks (an exposed clay bank) near the community. The licks provide an extraordinary spectacle as thousands of parrots squabble over the best perches to peck at and gulp down the clay, the mineral-rich content of which helps them digest the harsh acidic fruits they usually eat.
The community has its own lodge, the A Napo Wildlife Center (reservations in advance in Quito on t02/2528261, whttp://www.napowildlifecenter.com), composed of ten beautiful and spacious cabins on Añangucocha, with private bathrooms, hot water, electric lights and hammocks on porches overlooking the lake. Next to the dining room, a 36-metre observation tower allows you to scan the forest canopy with binoculars for monkeys and bird species. Highlights of a stay here include possible sightings of giant otters; walks down the "manakin trail" where six species of manakin can be spotted; and visits to the parrot licks, where hides (blinds) have been built for better observation of the blue-headed and orange-cheeked parrots, cobalt-winged parakeets, scarlet-fronted parrotlets and scarlet macaws that feed there in a frenzy of sound and colour. Extremely knowledgeable local guides (who also work as Yasuní park rangers) backed up by bilingual naturalists, lead jungle walks and canoe rides. A three-night package costs $720, while four nights is $920 per person in a double, including boat transport from Coca and park entrance fees.

K.J. Martijn Cremers joined the University of Notre Dame as Professor of Finance in 2012. Prior to that, he was a faculty at Yale School of Management from 2002 – 2012 after obtaining his PhD in finance from the Stern School of Business at New York University. Hailing from the Netherlands, his undergraduate degree in Econometrics is from the VU University Amsterdam (1993-1997).
Professor Cremers' research focuses on empirical issues in investments and corporate governance. His academic work has been published in top academic journals such as the Journal of Finance, the Review of Financial Studies and the Journal of Financial Economics. His research has also been covered in newspapers like the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times and numerous others.
He is an Associate Editor at the Review of Finance (2010-) and previously was an Associate Editor of the Review of Financial Studies (2009-2012), and serves on the Editorial Board of JAAF – a Journal of Accounting, Finance & Law (2012-) and of European Financial Management (2012-).
At Notre Dame, he teaches courses on fixed income markets and corporate governance to MBA and undergraduate students.
His paper "How active is your fund manager? A new measure that predicts performance" (published in 2009 in the Review of Financial Studies) introduced a measure of active management named 'Active Share', which is based on a comparison of the holdings of a fund with those of its benchmark. The 'Active Share' measure has become widely used in the financial industry and was e.g. incorporated in Morningstar Direct and FactSet.
