"I bet you're liking those boobs! They look nice cause she's pregnant, but they probably won't after she has the baby." (To the husband of a mom-to-be while they were out shopping.)

I think it's rude to comment on anything going on inside of a person's body, whether it's growing a baby or a tumor. it's very personal. When I was pregnant with my first and i went to open a door for a lady carrying a bunch of boxes- my hand on the door. She snatched it from me, chuckled and said, "No, I've got it. You've got a bigger load than I do." Then at the bank a teller laughed at me and said to teh teller next to her, " Looks like she ate TWO basketballs." If it's not meant to make a person feel good, you should keep your mouth shut.

I guess the first commentor has super thick skin because I found ALL of those to be extremely insensitve and rude and I've never been pregnant!!! I'm not looking forward to hearing things like this :/ But I'm also not shy and I have a feeling I'll be even more outspoken when with child.
No, I dont have super thick skin. I just dont understand why anyone would let someone elses comments ruin their day. The only opinions I care about are my own. God's, and my significant other's. Everyone else can kick rocks. And if someone wants to make a rude comment, I just laugh it off. I have so many other IMPORTANT things to worry about and live for, than what someone else says. Besides, for the most part people are just making conversation or trying to be funny. It must suck to care so much about what everyone says about you, considering every person in the world has their own opinion.
the worst ones I heard were " do you think its the right time for another baby"
and my mother in law telling me I was a bad mom for telling my three year old I had a baby in my stomach. Also her saying all the stuff she still did when she was pregnant because ive been really sick and Ihavent been doing a lot of anything
I have a young face- even now at 31 I still look like I'm in my early 20's. When I was pregnant with my first child I was 20 and I still looked like a teenager. Dirty looks all the time. It wasn't until I was 22 and pregnant with my second baby, toddler in tow, that I got the evil eye from most people! Especially when I was with my husband, who is only 3 years older than me but at the time he looked like a 25 year old man who knocked up at 16 year old. That was interesting! Even now, when I am with my 11 year old son, I'm sure people assume I had him while in high school.... People can be very rude.
When I was pregnant with my 4th (and last) baby, I was asked ALL the time if we were done, if I knew how "that" happens, told that I would be very busy soon (duh!)...
enceinte isn't english it's french get your language right
My hubby's little brother's father called our house when I was on bedrest and severely sick to tell me I can't use pregnancy as an excuse to be a bitch and ignore everyone.....it's bedrest you moron.....I can't exactly gather my stuff and make the 2 hour trip by bus to your place every day to watch you be stoned out of your mind....
I had gotten some of the normal crass, insensitive comments throughout both pregnancies but the one that had me restraining my husband was this event. We were in the baby department. My husband is a disabled veteran and uses a wheelchair to get around. Our 4 yr old son was in his lap and I was 7 months pregnant with our daughter. So we're shopping for baby clothes and teasing our little guy when out of nowhere this woman walks up and starts a conversation with my husband. I bring another outfit over to ask what he thinks and thats when this harpy comes out with the comment "You do realize that isn't YOUR baby, right? Everyone knows cripples can't have children. You shouldn't even allow that boy in your lap, he isn't yours after all!!" I swear the only thing that saved that woman's life is my son was too young to understand what was going on and my husband wasn't going to hurt his son to chase her!
stupid SIL keep making comments about how big I was and how it could be twins. I wasn't even big for that stage. And aside from that it was my 4th child. Her overweight body looked more pregnant than I was.

Comments about Opportunity Basketball Framed Desktop Print:
I was thrilled to see that you offered a photograph that captured the true essence of the motivational message Opportunity. The employee I mentor at work not only needs that constant reminder & motivation to take opportunities that come his way, but he is also the most die hard basketball fan I have ever met. This product couldn't have taken the two aspects and merged them to create a more appropriate message and gift. Thank you!

The threat of underage drinking and overconsumption of alcohol are among the reasons cited by backers of a bill in Congress that would ban direct shipments of wine to consumers, the Associated Press reported May 14.
Skeptics said the real reason for the measure is that alcohol distributors want to protect a lucrative part of their business.
Currently, 38 states allow at least some wine to be shipped directly to consumers. Wineries have supported such legislation at the state level. "This is an anti-consumer bill," said Marty Clubb, owner of the L'Ecole No. 41 winery in Lowden, Wash. "This is about wholesalers trying to entrench their monopoly."
Backers said the legislation was needed to clarify liquor laws and reinforce states' control over alcohol sales, in part by making it harder for wineries and other special interests to ask the courts to overturn state alcohol laws.
"We are extremely concerned that alcohol deregulation will make it very difficult for our states to effectively protect the public interest and ensure the safest system of alcohol distribution in the world," said the National Association of Attorneys General in a letter signed by the chief law-enforcement officials of 39 states.

Agricultural Training
The CSRL program in Kamuli District engages 38 full and part time staff including VEDCO employees, volunteers, interns, farmer trainers, collaborators from Makerere University, and a Field Operations Manager under contract with ISU. Most have received or are working on their B.S, M.S., or Doctoral Degrees in areas related to Rural Development.
VEDCO utilizes a Farmer-to-Farmer training approach that is highly participatory and farmer group oriented. Most farm households belong to one or more groups formed for farming, marketing, or other purposes. Training sessions are conducted on a range of topics by Community Based Trainers (CBTs) who are successful and innovative farmers trained by VEDCO's Program Extension Officers (PEOs). These topics include: Agronomy, Livestock Production/Health, Nutrition, Sanitation and Health, Natural Resource Management, Savings and Microcredit, and Farming as a Business. The CBTs work closely with up to 12 groups of farmers, each having up to 8 members. The CSRL/VEDCO training program currently serves about 1200 households in Kamuli District. A much larger number of neighboring households benefit indirectly.
The approach used in farmer training has evolved to embrace more practical and action-oriented "hands on" techniques rather than theoretical lectures. Each year, a Training of Trainers for Program Staff (VEDCO staff and CBTs) is conducted to equip staff with better facilitation skills to emphasize "hands on" experiences and practical approaches.
- Farmers can more efficiently utilize their land to produce goods.
- Communities have access to more nutritious food.
- CSRL achieves the goal of sustainable rural livelihoods.
See how Agricultural Training help rural farmers improve their livelihoods.

A 5-month-old boy survived after a tree fell on the truck that he was riding.Teresa Bowers, her boyfriend Marcus Osborne and their son Joshua, were headed west on River Road when a tree crashed on their truck in Ellenwood on Sunday afternoon."The tree just came down from nowhere. In just five seconds – bam! And we tried to get out," Bowers said.The three escaped their crushed pickup truck by climbing through broken windows. Paramedics took Joshua to the hospital, where doctors removed glass from his hair and body.The 1985 Dodge Ram was towed to Cymill Motors, where it's mangled from front to back."The whole tail came off of the back," Osborne said. Osborne only had liability insurance, and not comprehensive, so the insurance company is not going to cover the damage. The tow truck company was a bit more generous and is waiving its charges.Osborne is now trying to determine who is responsible for the tree -- the county or the property owner. The root ball is a few feet from River Road. It's on property which appears to belong to a foreclosed church.Legal questions aside, the family said they are happy to be alive.

By: Jim Krantz, Cow/Calf Field Specialist at SDSU Extension
South Dakota cattlemen challenged by dwindling grazing resources to support their production systems may find cow lease/share arrangements as an alternative to herd liquidation. According to the United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service, South Dakota's cow herd totals (ranked 5th nationally) grew by five percent from 2012 to 2013. Maintaining that growth may be difficult with the continued conversion of pasture and hay ground to crop acres.
Cow lease/share arrangements offer a logistical solution in some instances for cattlemen with surplus grazing acres or winter feed and those who do not have those vital resources available to them. Those contractual agreements typically are unique in almost every circumstance due to the individuality of their management programs, herd genetics, cow frame size or long term goals.
Fundamentally, with share agreements in particular, discussions begin with the identification of the contributions each party will provide in this cow partnership. From the owner's (lessor) viewpoint, those contributions usually include the cows themselves along with an accompanying health program and the bull power to service the cows. The latter is sometimes listed on the lessee side of the ledger instead depending on the desires and goals of both parties. Inputs typically listed as contributions from the lessee might include feed, grazing acres, labor, equipment and facilities. When individual contribution values are tallied, some idea of the percentage of inputs each will provide can then serve as a guide for sharing the calf crop value. A common industry value used extensively in recent years is a 70% - 30% share arrangement where the cow owner receives 30% of the calf value at a designated date. In nearly all arrangements, the cow owner will receive all the cull cow proceeds.
As these agreements are drafted, it is important for both parties to remember that this industry value may or may not fit every situation. This standard usually implies that the agreement includes a time frame of one year that typically runs from October to October. Should that time frame vary, adjustments to the percentage of calf value shared may need to be altered as well.
While this percentage may be the primary driver in the share arrangement, there are a number of additional factors that need consideration as lessor/lease discussions continue:
Cow lease/share arrangements may be a win-win scenario for cattlemen with cows and limited feed resources, especially grazing acres, and cattlemen who have the resources to meet those very needs. However, only after establishing a business mindset and doing some personal homework are cow share agreements truly destined to be "win-win" for all involved.
Two resources may be valuable to those interested in exploring cow share arrangements:

text: content LE Magazine July 2007 Controlling Blood Sugar to Regulate Body Weight By Debra Fulghum Bruce, PhD Those who struggle with obesity often suffer from dangerously elevated glucose (blood sugar) levels. Beta-glucans (derived from oats and barley) slow the absorption of carbohydrates—enabling one to control blood sugar levels and induce the satiety needed to achieve healthy weight management. Side benefits of controlling blood glucose include lowering harmful blood fats and C-reactive protein. When blood sugar levels are stabilized, metabolic syndrome and diabetes can be averted. In this article, we explore how beta-glucans can protect against degenerative disease while offering a decisive advantage for those looking to take control of their blood sugar and their waistline. Fiber-Deficient Diet Elevates Disease Risk A number of health problems that plague aging adults—from high cholesterol to diabetes—can often be traced to inadequate levels of dietary fiber.1 Plant-derived fibers play many useful roles in the body, including binding with water to help propel partially digested foods through the intestinal tract. Principal dietary sources of fiber include whole grains, legumes, nuts, fruits, and vegetables. Americans consume an average of about 14 grams of fiber each day—less than half the amount recommended by the American Diabetes Association for disease prevention and wellness.2 In recent decades, as consumption of processed food has greatly increased, fiber intake has similarly decreased. The result is that most Americans are severely deficient in dietary fiber, and thus at much higher risk of contracting disease. In fact, a diet rich in fiber—particularly from cereal grains—is associated with a 40-50% lower risk of coronary heart disease and heart attack.3 Beta-GlucanS: A Fiber Powerhouse Beta-glucans, soluble fibers found in the cell walls of oats, barley, yeast, bacteria, algae, and mushrooms, have remarkable physiological health benefits. Studies show that when taken with meals, beta-glucan fibers markedly blunt post-meal elevations in blood sugar and insulin levels. Like other foods rich in soluble fiber, beta-glucans help improve blood glucose metabolism while also lowering serum lipid levels and improving colon health.4 About 30-40% of ingested soluble fiber is digested before reaching the colon, while the rest is fermented by bacteria in the large intestine to short-chain fatty acids, which may protect colon mucosa.4-6 Soluble beta-glucan fibers from oats and barley are notable in their ability to bind with water, thus increasing the volume and viscosity (thickness) of the intestinal contents. This leads to the slower absorption of carbohydrates into the bloodstream and decreased blood cholesterol levels.5 Fiber Modulates Post-Meal Blood Sugar Response The meager amounts of fiber that characterize the modern Western diet are a potent contributor to aberrant blood sugar metabolism and the growing epidemic of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and type II diabetes. Currently, about 35 million Americans between the ages of 40 and 74 have impaired fasting glucose, and 16 million have impaired glucose tolerance. Because so many people have both conditions, the total number of adults aged 40 to 74 with pre-diabetes in the United States is estimated to be an astounding 41 million!7 We now know there is a direct link between ingesting carbohydrates and the resultant postprandial (after-meal) blood sugar response.8 After eating a large meal containing ample amounts of quickly absorbed carbohydrates and little soluble fiber, an individual may experience significant postprandial (after-meal) hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar. How quickly blood sugar rises sometimes depends on the glycemic index of the food consumed. The glycemic index is a numerical system that ranks foods on a scale of 0 to 100, according to how quickly their ingestion increases blood glucose levels relative to pure glucose itself. Although different foods may supply the same amount of carbohydratesper serving, they can have very different glycemic indexes. For example, highly processed foods such as white bread and doughnuts send blood sugar levels soaring, and have glycemic indexes of approximately 73-76.9 By contrast, naturally fiber-rich foods such as beans and raw pears slowly increase blood glucose and thus have far lower glycemic indexes, of approximately 29-38.9 Harvard studies suggest that the carbohydrate composition of foods plays a large role in their ability to promote or impair one's health. High-glycemic-index foods that rapidly increase blood sugar contribute to the risk of heart disease and diabetes.10 However, not all fiber is created equal, especially when it comes to favorably influencing the glycemic index of foods. Scientists from the Agricultural Research Service found that barley fiber containing soluble beta-glucan fiber was more effective in regulating peak glucose response than wheat, a whole grain that contains no beta-glucans. They also noted beneficial reductions in glucose and insulin levels when oat-derived beta-glucans were ingested at mealtime.10 Other scientists have found that adding soluble fiber such as oat and barley beta-glucans to the diet helps modulate the after-meal rise in blood sugar, along with the insulin response to a meal containing carbohydrates.11-13 The low glycemic index values of oats or barley, both rich in beta-glucans, may stem from their ability to form a viscous gel with water in the gastrointestinal tract. This thick, gelatinous mixture delays the release of the stomach's contents into the small intestine for further digestion. This contributes to slower production and release of insulin by the pancreas,14 as well as a slower rate of glucose uptake from the small intestine.15 Thus, the high viscosity of beta-glucans may play a critical role in reducing the more dangerous aspects of the glycemic response to a meal. Fiber May Help Avert Metabolic Syndrome, Diabetes Growing evidence suggests that soluble dietary fiber may play an important role in averting the dangers of metabolic syndrome, a precursor to diabetes associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease.16 Metabolic syndrome refers to the constellation of metabolic abnormalities that includes abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, and low levels of beneficial high-density lipoprotein (HDL). A study of the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the Framingham Offspring Cohort found that it was significantly less common among those who ingested the most whole grains and cereal fiber.17 Given both the high fiber content and a low glycemic index attributed to whole-grain foods, increasing one's intake of whole grains may reduce the risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Since metabolic syndrome commonly precedes full-blown type II diabetes, dietary intervention with whole-grain fibers may help keep diabetes at bay. Dietary fibers also benefit those who already have type II diabetes. When diabetic patients consumed a healthy diet that substituted oat beta-glucans for some dietary fat, they exhibited notable improvements in metabolic parameters such as weight, HDL, and long-term blood sugar control.15 Beta-Glucans Lower Cholesterol, Improve Lipids Many physicians have long advised their cardiac patients to consider adding soluble fiber to their meals in order to reduce cholesterol levels. According to both the Third Report of the Expert Panel on Detection, the Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (ATP III) and the American Heart Association,18,19 the gel-forming characteristic of soluble fiber has been shown to improve lipid profiles.20 In one meta-analysis, researchers determined that for every 1-gram increase in soluble dietary fiber, potentially dangerous low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was reduced by 2.2 mg/dL on average.21 In particular, beta-glucan fibers are thought to lower cholesterol by increasing the bulk, volume, and viscosity of the intestinal tract's contents, thus altering cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism in the liver. Beta-glucans increase the excretion of bile acids released from the gall bladder. These bile acids are made up of oxidized cholesterol. The liver uses cholesterol to make more bile, which has the net effect of decreasing the amount of harmful LDL circulating in the blood.4 Thus, beta-glucans not only lower cholesterol, but also help to maintain already-normal levels of cholesterol. In a recent study in Venezuela, investigators set out to determine the effect of bread formulated with 6 grams of beta-glucans (oat-derived soluble fiber) on serum lipids of overweight men with mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol). After eating a low-fat diet for one week, the men were divided into two groups. One group stayed on the American Heart Association (AHA) Step II diet with whole-wheat bread, while the other group remained on the AHA Step II diet containing high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids plus bread made with 6 grams of beta-glucan. It was suggested that all men exercise 60 minutes each day.22 After eight weeks, both groups of men reduced their body weight significantly. Those who ingested bread containing 6 grams of beta-glucans saw an impressive increase in their levels of beneficial HDL, which remained unchanged in the other group. Non-HDL cholesterol decreased in the beta-glucans group, and the total cholesterol/HDL ratio was reduced. While the diet with whole-wheat bread had no effect on fasting plasma glucose, the beta-glucans diet resulted in a decrease in fasting blood glucose. All of these improved lipid profiles reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease in the beta-glucans group.22 Beta-Glucans: What You Need to Know Fiber is an essential but often neglected constituent of a healthy human diet. While the recommended daily allowance of dietary fiber is 25-30 grams, Americans on average consume about half that amount. Scientists believe that inadequate dietary fiber contributes to some of the most prevalent health problems today, ranging from heart disease to metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes. Natural dietary fibers known as beta-glucans have been shown to be highly effective in helping to maintain healthy blood sugar control. By slowing the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, beta-glucans help promote a feeling of fullness that effectively supports efforts to attain and maintain a healthy body weight. Other benefits of beta-glucans include modulating levels of harmful blood lipids and preventing metabolic syndrome. These plant-derived fibers may also help to quell dangerous inflammation in the body. Emerging research suggests a role for dietary fibers in preventing breast cancer and cancer metastasis. Incorporating a nutritional supplement rich in beta-glucans in one's diet provides a convenient way to capture the numerous health benefits associated with optimal fiber intake.

On the Road to Forever

Post a comment
When one thinks of Easter Island, located in the southern Pacific Ocean, an image of 1,000-plus "head statues" comes to mind. At higher elevations, the statues are full-bodied and very large. Since its discovery in the 1700s, a mystery has hung over the island as to how the statues got there in the first place.
In an attempt to solve the mystery of the head statues, and their placement all over the island, archeologists gained permission to excavate the ground surrounding two of the heads. They hoped to find the remains of tools and such to help them understand the meaning of the statues and how they got there. What they found was not at all what they had expected.
As they dug, they discovered the "head statues" are not only "heads," but also full-bodied statues buried in the dirt, every bit as big as the statues above ground. The dirt that buried the statues was washed down from higher elevations and not deliberately placed there to bury, protect, or support the statues. The statues were carved and erected in place, and stand on stone pavements (a man-made foundation).
Evidence of how this was accomplished has been found and possible engineering scenarios have been theorized, but are as yet to be confirmed. The thing is, the whole island still remains a mystery and digging around only revealed what has always been there, adding even more intrigue to investigating minds searching for the truths of a forgotten people.
Children don't have a problem with questioning what they don't understand. Little Johnny's kindergarten class was on a field trip to the local police station where they saw pictures, tacked on the bulletin board, of the 10 most-wanted criminals. One of the youngsters pointed to a picture and asked if it really was the photo of a wanted person. "Yes," said the policeman. "The detectives want him in particular very badly." Little Johnny asked, "Why didn't you keep him when you took his picture?"
Other children just need more time to unbury the truths and ways of the world. A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd (alternating between the bride's side and the groom's side). While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar. So it went on, step, step, roar; step, step, roar all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing. The little boy, however, was getting very distressed from the laughter and was also near tears. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was just being the Ring Bear."
(Galatians 1: 1-10 & 5:7 -- 6:10) Paul's letter to the church in Galatia expresses much frustration as Paul had discovered that someone had come into the congregation teaching something different from the Gospel he taught, causing much confusion among the brethren.
Confusion in the church is nothing new and it doesn't have to be that way. Too many people simply maintain their religion by what they hear and are taught. They hear conflicting messages and eventually form personal thoughts about God and heaven, life and death, and return to the world.
Like the "head statues," most believers' introduction to the Gospel is good, and they can see the truth. Can we accept that everything we are told from that point forward in our Christian walk is good Gospel, or do we need to dig deeper into God's Word for a more complete understanding of God's will? Investigate what you hear. (Acts 17: 10-11) Discover the whole body of Christ.

Next week will be conference week between teachers and parents and since Princess One has the same teacher again, I'm sure that college preparation will surface out in our conversation - how competitive it is to get in, how expensive it can be and how well-rounded the kid should be to be accepted, etc. For some reason, this pattern of thought was disrupted when I came across this book through research called Be Centsable.
Ok, I can't articulate yet the intimate connection between the two but after 2 weeks of couponing, I now believe in its power to reduce expenses. True, it costs time, but the payoff is more organized grocery shopping experience because my visits are governed by sale items and coupons that match our needs. Initially, I believed that couponing is not worth the time compared to the savings so I went on my merry ways of shopping wholesale at Costco for our provisions. When I sat down and really broke down the cost per oz of our oft-bought items, I discovered that without coupons, Costco prices are already lower compared to grocery stores BUT with sales, plus manufacturer's coupons, and store coupons, you can get rock bottom deals, and might even get for free. The writers of Be Centsable also have a website called becentsable.net that I check regularly for deals, the coupons you can use and where to find those coupons. If you are interested, you can check their post about CVS deals for the week here to see what I mean.
So I'm interested to hear what you have to say. Do you use coupons in grocery shopping?

Common snipe
|Common snipe
|Conservation status
|Scientific classification
|G. gallinago
|Binomial name
|Gallinago gallinago
(Linnaeus, 1758)
G. g. faroeensis
Capella gallinago
The common snipe (Gallinago gallinago) is a small, stocky wader native to the Old World. The breeding habitat is marshes, bogs, tundra and wet meadows throughout northern Europe and northern Asia. It is migratory, with European birds wintering in southern and western Europe and Africa (south to the Equator), and Asian migrants moving to tropical southern Asia. The North American Wilson's snipe was previously considered the same species, and is listed as such in older field guides.
Adults are 25–27 cm in length with a 44–47 cm wingspan and a weight of 80–140 g (up to 180 g pre-migration). They have short greenish-grey legs and a very long (5.5–7 cm) straight dark bill. The body is mottled brown with straw-yellow stripes on top and pale underneath. They have a dark stripe through the eye, with light stripes above and below it. The wings are pointed.[2][3]
It is the most widespread of several similar snipes. It most closely resembles the Wilson's snipe G. delicata of North America, which was until recently considered to be a subspecies G. g. delicata of Common snipe. They differ in the number of tail feathers, with seven pairs in G. gallinago and eight pairs in G. delicata; the North American species also has a slightly thinner white trailing edge to the wings (the white is mostly on the tips of the secondaries).[4][5] Both species breed in the Aleutian Islands.[2] It is also very similar to the pin-tailed snipe G. stenura and Swinhoe's snipe G. megala of eastern Asia; identification of these species there is complex.[6]
There are two subspecies of common snipe, G. g. faeroeensis in Iceland, the Faroes, Shetland and Orkney (wintering in Britain and Ireland), and G. g. gallinago in the rest of the Old World.
It is a well camouflaged bird, it is usually shy and conceals itself close to ground vegetation and flushes only when approached closely. When flushed, they utter a sharp note that sounds like scape, scape and fly off in a series of aerial zig-zags to confuse predators.[7] They forage in soft mud, probing or picking up food by sight. They mainly eat insects and earthworms, also some plant material.[3]
An example of the "drumming" sound.
|Problems playing this file? See media help.
The male performs "winnowing" display during courtship, flying high in circles and then taking shallow dives to produce a "drumming" sound by vibrating its tail feathers. This sound has been compared by others to the bleating of a sheep or goat; hence in many languages the snipe is known by names signifying "flying goat," "heaven's ram," as in Scotland by "heather-bleater"[7] and in Finnish the name taivaanvuohi, "sky goat". Common snipe nest in a well-hidden location on the ground, laying four eggs of a dark olive colour, blotched and spotted with rich brown,[7] which are incubated by the female for 18–21 days. The young when freshly hatched are covered in down of a dark maroon, variegated with black, white and buff.[7] The young are cared for by both parents, each parent looking after half the brood, with fledging in 10–20 days.[2][3]
Overall, the species is not threatened. Populations on the southern fringes of the breeding range in Europe are however declining with local extinction in some areas (notably in parts of England and Germany), mainly due to field drainage and agricultural intensification.[2] The Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies to the species. It is still hunted as a gamebird in much of its range.[2]

Posted in Alumni News
By Ryan Woodcock
There was a lot of golf action this weekend, with the PGA TOUR hosting the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral and the Puerto Rico Open; while the Nationwide Tour was in Chile for the Chile Classic presented by Pacific Rubiales.
Let's start in Puerto Rico, where another Gateway Pro Tour alum was crowned a winner on the PGA TOUR this season. George McNeill shot rounds of 66-70-67-69 and finished at 16-under to beat Ryo Ishikawa by two shots, earning his second career victory (2007 Frys.com Open).
McNeill had a one-shot lead heading into the final round, but couldn't get much going in round four. He was even-par through 15 holes (three birdies, three bogeys), but caught fire and broke away from the pack with three consecutive birdies to finish his round and secure the win.
"After I birdied 16 and actually walking up to the 17th green, after I hit my second shot is when I saw that he (Ryo) had the lead with me," McNeill said. "So I probably had about a 10 or 12‑footer there, and I said well, I need to make it. Also, Henrik (Stenson) wasn't too far behind, too, so it was not like it was an easy cake walk, but it was a nice way to win."
McNeill earned a nice $630,000 paycheck for the win, and he jumped all the way up to 19th in the FedEx Cup standings. His first win, which came more than five years ago, came in his rookie campaign. Since then he's had six runner-up finishes (two in a playoff) and no wins.
"I was really nervous, but I knew what I had to do, and basically I just had to bear down and get it done," McNeill said. "If not, then somebody else was going to win. I was trying to basically have control of myself, and that's all I was looking for."
For the week, 21 GPT alums made the cut, with six finishing in Top-10 and 9 among the Top-15.
Matt Jones opened with rounds of 66-67 and finished the weekend 72-71 to finish T5 at 12-under par; while Kevin Stadler and Daniel Summerhays finished T7 at 11-under. Stadler earned his second Top-10 and fifth Top-25 of the season, while Summerhays also turned in his second Top-10 outing of the year.
Blake Adams shook off his opening round 74 with three straight 68s to finish T9 at 10-under, while DeLaet recorded rounds of 69-70-68-71 to match Adams at 10-under. Adams final-round 68 included four birdies on the final six holes for his best finish of the year.
Roberto Castro, William McGirt and Jeff Overton finished T14 at -8, while Edward Loar closed with a final-round 68 to finish T25 at 9-under.

Out in Florida the players converged on Doral for the second WGC event of the year. Bubba Watson followed up a pedestrian opening-round 70 with a 62 in round two, and was the third-round leader after his 67 on Saturday. In the final round, Watson quickly saw his three-shot lead evaporate during a four-hole stretch, but he still had a chance at a playoff. He hit a fantastic four-iron on 18 out of the palm trees to about 9 feet, giving him a chance at birdie and a playoff with Justin Rose. But he couldn't convert his birdie putt, and he ended up settling for second, his sixth career runner-up finish. Despite his near miss, Watson continues his stellar 2012 season – he has two Top-5 finishes and has finished in the Top-20 in all six starts this year. He currently sits 12th in the FedEx Cup standings.
For the week, seven GPT alums finished in the money, including Martin Laird, who finished T24 at 8-under, while Garth Mulroy and Gary Woodland finished T29 at 7-under par. Chez Reavie and Branden Grace both started slowly with opening-round 78s, but rebounded nicely to finish T35 at 6-under par. Reavie shot 68-67 in rounds 2 and 3, while Grace put together a spectacular third-round 64 that included a 30 on the front nine and a start that included eight birdies on the first 11 holes.
Brandt Snedeker finished T45 at 4-under, and stays in the Top-10 (9th) in the FedEx Cup standings.

In Santiago, Chile, playing at the Prince of Wales Country Club, a total of 32 GPT alums finished in the money at the Chile Classic. Of those, two finished in the Top-5, five finished in the Top-10 and a total of seven placed in the Top-20.
Alex Aragon and Rob Oppenheim were the highest finishers, shooting 16-under for the week to finish T4. Aragon birdied the final hole to jump into the Top-5, while Oppenheim carded rounds of 69-65-69 to earn his sixth career Top-10 placing.
Brice Garnett, Benjamin Alvarado and Camilo Benedetti all shot 14-under for the week and finished inside the Top-10 at T9. Garnett recorded five birdies over the last 10 holes in the final round for his second career Top-10, while Alvarado shot 69 in the final round, including a birdie on the final hole, to jump into the Top-10. Benedetti shot rounds of 67-69-68-70 to earn his eighth career Top-10 finish on the Nationwide Tour.
Rounding out the Top-25 are Lee Williams and Troy Merritt, who finished T17 at 12-under; and Aron Price, who closed with a final-round 67 to finish T23 at 11-under par.

Congrats again to George McNeill for earning his second career PGA TOUR victory, nice work George! Next stop on the PGA TOUR is the Transitions Championship in Palm Harbor, Florida, Mar. 15-18. GPT alum Gary Woodland is the defending champ; let's see if he can go back-to-back. The Nationwide Tour will take a week off before getting back to action Mar. 22-25 at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open. Good luck to everyone playing this week, and as always, check back here next week for a complete recap!

Hey everyone!Hope you had a great week! Thanks for voting for us!I am really bummed Val and Elisabetta left. I was worried about him — we worry about each other all the time — and when he got eliminated, I felt bad because I want to see him win and do well. We're competitive by nature and it's hard to accept stuff like this at first, but you do and move on. It's not ideal, but he will be back. I thought they did a great job with their quickstep, but unfortunately, nobody knew her. They relied on getting a good score, which they got, but a lot of other people got good scores too, and it was a close spread, so that's where the fan bases make the difference.As for our scores, it is what it is.

New iPad version coming soon?
Apple is preparing for a production run in the fourth quarter, one analyst says, and it could include up to 1 million new models.
One analyst says the iPad 3 is heading into production in the fourth quarter. Jeff Fidacaro of Susquehanna Financial tells AllThingsD that his supply chain checks show Apple boosting fourth-quarter iPad production to between 12 million and 14 million.
Most of those units are for the current iPad. But Fidacaro sees an early production run of the iPad 3 in there. He says Apple has scheduled 600,000 to 1 million iPad 3 units on the plan for the fourth quarter.
If Fidacaro is correct, Apple is starting to build up an iPad 3 inventory, perhaps with an eye on a launch early next year.
The iPad has been the dominant force in the tablet sector since it debuted in April 2010. Other companies have rushed to produce competing tablets, but nothing has really dented the iPad's lead.
Even Cisco is getting into the market, as the following video shows.
Post continues below.
But Apple might be feeling some pressure now that Amazon (AMZN) has announced its entry into the market. Amazon's Kindle Fire is set to launch Nov. 15 for a mere $199. The Fire has fewer bells and whistles than the iPad, which starts at $499, but the price difference alone is certainly enough to pique customer interest.
AppleInsider says Apple may be exploring a cheaper iPad for release in early 2012. The move would surely be to counter the Kindle Fire's price point. A cheaper iPad could be priced in the mid- to high $200 range, an analyst with Ticonderoga Securities wrote in a note to investors.

Crystal clear audio and extra radio stations from these wireless wonders
What is it?
A portable media player with cameras, wireless capabilities and a diverse array of apps and games
What's great
Excellent audio quality; beautiful, high-definition screen; easy to manage and navigate; iOS 5 update liberates it from your computer
What's not
Expensive for the higher end models; body gets dirty and scratched easily; photo cameras a major disappointment
The bottom line
Quite simply the best portable media player money can currently buy.
Perhaps it's not surprising that when Apple refreshed its iPhone and iPod product line earlier this month the only thing it did to the iPod touch was to make it available in white as well as black. After all, when it comes to portable media, the iPod touch is the undisputed king. It outclasses everything else in terms of functionality and features, has a screen to die for and produces great-sounding audio to boot.
In terms of music, the iPod touch excels thanks to its touch-screen interface, great sound and wi-fi connection. That wireless connection - coupled with the new iOS 5 release - means you no longer need cables to transfer music, video and photos from your computer to your portable device. And with access to iTunes direct from your device, you don't actually need a computer when it comes to purchasing new tunes to listen to.
Assuming you're not listening to music on the iPod touch's internal - and unsurprisingly poor - speaker, you can expect to enjoy a rich, deep sound. It's definitely a step up from earlier iPod touches, but as always the best results come when you hook up your iPod to a quality set of speakers or headphones.
If you do intend using the touch primarily as a music player, don't skimp and opt for the 8GB model, as you'll find trying to fit a half-decent music collection alongside apps and even a smattering of videos is practically impossible.
Getting to your music collection is thankfully simple, thanks to the iPod touch's brilliant touch-screen interface, which has no equal, particularly among portable media players. It makes browsing and selecting your music a simple process, with lots of options for filtering your collection and beautifully rendered artwork, highlighting the high-definition screen that has to be seen to truly appreciate its bright, colourful and pin-sharp display. Volume adjustment is quick and easy too, thanks to the physical buttons on the left-hand side of the unit.
The high-definition screen, marketed as 'Retina' by Apple, is bettered only by the iPhone 4, and is certainly superior to any other media player on the market, coming in at double the resolution of its nearest competitor. It makes browsing your photos or watching video a delight, and allows you to watch longer movies without feeling the strain on your eyes.
The iPod touch also comes with two cameras and, while they're awful when it comes to taking still shots, the rear-facing camera is capable of shooting reasonable quality HD (720p) video. It's better than the average phone's camera, but not up to the quality of a dedicated camcorder. The cameras also allow you to use the iPod touch for video calling (Apple's own FaceTime is bundled, and it works with Skype too), and you can publish your cinematic masterpieces direct to YouTube should you wish.
Where the iPod touch truly leaves the competition for dead is in its versatility. This is a device capable of running the vast majority of iPhone apps, making it equally adept at playing games, keeping you in touch and up-to-date, and much more besides.
But to allow that to distract you from its primary function - that of an extremely capable and benchmark-setting media player - does it a disservice. Forget about the bonus features, when all is said and done, it's simply the best portable media player on the market.

Publication: theday.com
New London — The major players in the project to build a National Coast Guard Museum downtown said the new agreement they signed Wednesday should make it crystal clear that this museum will become a reality.
Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said that when the site for the museum was announced in April, skeptics asked, "Is it actually going to happen?"
"If today's ceremony speaks to anything, it says loudly and clearly this is happening," Finizio said.
Adm. Robert J. Papp Jr. said Coast Guard men and women have done great things for the country, and their story deserves to be told.
"What better place than down by the water here in New London, Connecticut?" Papp, the commandant of the Coast Guard, said. "It will be done."
In the ceremony at Union Station Wednesday, as trains rumbled by, Papp, Finizio, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and James Coleman, chairman of the National Coast Guard Museum Association Inc., signed a memorandum of agreement that outlines how the Coast Guard, city, state and museum association will cooperate and what their responsibilities will be.
Museum supporters filled the station for the ceremony. The site of the museum is a 0.37-acre lot behind the station. It could also jut out over the Thames River.
"We are finally doing what we should have done as a nation a long time ago to honor the men and women of the Coast Guard," Malloy said.
In formal language, the agreement explains why the public entities and the museum association believe it is important to build a museum to educate the public about the Coast Guard's maritime heritage.
The agreement describes how the city will give the land for the museum to the Coast Guard as a gift, the state will spend up to $20 million to build a pedestrian bridge across the railroad tracks for access to the museum and the Cross Sound Ferry terminal, and the parties to the agreement will work to ensure the barque Eagle can dock near the museum.
It also says the service may locate a Heritage and History Center there, which would be a hub for managing artifacts and a site for scholarly research. Plans call for building a four-story, 54,300-square-foot museum with four floors of interactive exhibits, event space, lecture rooms and a reception area with a gift shop and cafe, to be opened in late 2017.
Coleman said after the ceremony that the agreement charts the way forward. And with it in hand, he said, he can approach the large companies that have shown interest in supporting the project financially.
"It gives us credibility," he said. "… It's not only key to fundraising, but also to moving the museum forward."
U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, said the Coast Guard deserves a museum, especially since there are more than 90 Defense Department museums, two-thirds of which are Army-related. The Coast Guard is the only branch of the armed forces without a national museum.
"With the execution of this document, we are going to change that," he said. "It's going to be a good day for this region. It's going to be a good day for our country."
The Coast Guard cannot accept the land for the museum, however, until it finishes assessing the site, the agreement states. The Coast Guard is currently conducting an environmental review and a valuation and property survey for its financial records and to determine the legal parameters of the proposed property. The Coast Guard also has to follow the process for accepting the gift into its real property inventory, said Rear Adm. Steven D. Poulin, the service's director of governmental and public affairs.
Poulin said the hope is to complete the required reviews and surveys in time for a ceremonial groundbreaking in May.
The agreement is not a binding legal document. Bob Ross, executive director of the Office of Military Affairs and the state's point person for the museum project, said the agreement is a "high-level framework" that will help ensure everyone understands the major parts of the project and the relationships that have to be in place.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said in an interview that even without the force of contract law, the document is important because "handshakes still matter," and the memorandum is a handshake between parties that "respect each other's word and whose word is their bond." Blumenthal also pledged to fight for federal funding to support the museum.
Two important stakeholders, Union Station and Cross Sound Ferry, did not sign the memorandum because the focus for this agreement was the public entities involved, Ross said. But he does expect the station and the ferry service to be a part of future agreements that will be binding.
Todd O'Donnell, who served as the master of ceremonies, said he and Barbara Timken, the station owners, are "ready to start talking as soon as they want to."
"We think the Coast Guard Museum is the biggest thing in this region," he said after the ceremony. "We will work with them to make that happen."
As the next step in the process, Ross said, the state will sign an assistance agreement with the museum association so state funding can be used to design the pedestrian bridge.
A consultant hired by the state is exploring seven options for the bridge, the most promising of which is for a bridge to be built over the station platforms, leading into the museum and ferry terminal, Ross said.
The consultant, Milone & MacBroom Inc., is also looking at whether the bridge should be built across Water Street, which Ross said would not be ideal because it would divert pedestrian traffic away from local businesses downtown, and is considering different locations for the bridge and whether the bridge should be a tunnel instead.
The state has not ruled out any of the alternatives, and the consultant's report should be available in about a month, Ross said.
In early May, the museum association is planning a ceremonial groundbreaking so Papp, who made the museum a top priority, can take part before he is relieved as commandant May 30.
Papp told the group in the train station that he was thinking about New London last November when he was in another train station on a beautiful waterfront, drinking coffee in a Starbucks.
There were historic buildings that had been restored, mixed among modern architecture, Papp said, and buses, ferries and trains full of people arriving in Malmo, Sweden. He visited an industrial museum where families were spending the day, and a restored fort.
Papp said he saw many similarities between Malmo and New London. What New London needs, he said, is "one central attraction, that museum, a modern building built within all that New London has to offer."
"All those things that I saw in Malmo, that I've seen in a dozen other seaport locations across the world as I've traveled, why not New London?" he said. "Well, it's going to be New London. I'm confident of that."
