By F. E. MATTHES,
U. S. Geological Survey.
Many people believe that the Yosemite National Park consists principally of the Yosemite Valley and its bordering heights. The name of the park, indeed, would seem to justify that belief, yet nothing could be further from the truth. The Yosemite Valley, though by far the grandest feature of the region, occupies only a small part of the tract. The famous valley measures hut a scant 7 miles in length; the park, on the other hand, comprises no less than 1,124 square miles, an area slightly larger than the State of Rhode Island, or about one-fourth as large as Connecticut. Within this area lie scores of lofty peaks and noble mountains, as well as many beautiful valleys and profound canyons; among others, the Hetch Hetchy Valley and the Tuolumne Canyon, each scarcely less wonderful than the Yosemite Valley itself. Here also are foaming rivers and cool, swift trout brooks; countless emerald lakes that reflect the granite peaks about them; and vast stretches of stately forest, in which many of the famous giant trees of California still survive.
The Yosemite National Park lies near the crest of the great alpine range of California, the Sierra Nevada. To the initiated this fact in itself means a great deal, for the Sierra Nevada is a land not only of scenic wonders, but of marvelous climatea climate paralleled by that of few mountain regions elsewhere in the world. It has a climate of sunshine and serene skies; dry, but not too dry; in summer warm, but not uncomfortably warm; withal characterized by nights that are cool, even frosty at the higher levels. The winters are cold enough to insure a snowfall of 2 to 4 feet in the lowest valleys and to maintain perpetual ice fields and glaciers on the highest crests. One goes to the Yosemite region not merely to admire its cliffs and waterfalls, nor to walk through the aisles of its great forests, but to revel in the full enjoyment of these wonders in the pure, invigorating air and the restful calm that reigns from day to day.
No wonder that the Yosemite region has acquired fame as a paradise for campers and mountaineers and is year after year invaded by tens of thousands of tourists and vacation seekers. Of late, too, it is becoming known as an attractive winter resort, frequented by those who enjoy snowshoeing, tobogganing, and other winter sports. Its possibilities in this regard have long lain neglected, partly, no doubt, because winter sports generally have not been popular on the Pacific coast, partly because the Yosemite Valley was rather inaccessible in winter. Now, however, the railroad from Merced to El Portal, a few miles from the boundary of the park, insures ready access to the Yosemite Valley and permits the hotels there to remain open for the accommodation of tourists throughout the year. From El Portal a short stage drive over a macadamized wagon road takes the traveler to the heart of the Yosemite Valley, which, with its hotels, camps, and livery facilities, constitutes the main tourist center and the base from which excursions may he made.

(Adds comments from Italy's Monti in 15th paragraph. For more debt-crisis news, see EXT4.)
Feb. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Greece said that Europe's wealthier countries are "playing with fire" by toying with the idea of expelling it from the 17-nation euro area as talks over a second aid program ran into new obstacles.
Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos leveled the accusation after a decision slated for tonight on aid totaling 130 billion euros ($171 billion) was postponed until at least Feb. 20 and possibly until after a full-time Greek government emerges from elections later in the year.
"We are continually faced with new terms," Venizelos told reporters in Athens today. "In the euro area, there are plenty who don't want us anymore. There are some playing with fire, domestically and abroad. Some are playing with torches and some are playing with matches. But the risk is equally great."
Two years after pledging to pull Greece back from the brink, European leaders are torn between pouring more aid into the struggling economy or risking an unprecedented national bankruptcy that might force the country out of the euro and prompt renewed market tumult.
Euro finance ministers started a conference call at 5 p.m. Brussels time after scrapping plans for a physical meeting due to doubts about Greece's readiness. Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, chairman of the euro panel, now targets a Greek aid decision at the previously scheduled Feb. 20 meeting.
'Very Strict'
"Ultimately the question is whether Greece has political will to sort out their economy and fulfill the conditions," Finnish Finance Minister Jutta Urpilainen told reporters in Helsinki. She spoke of "very strict" attitudes in creditor countries.
The official loans, supplemented by about 100 billion euros of debt relief from private bondholders, have been in the works since July. Each day lost brings Greece closer to a March 20 bond redemption when the government must come up with 14.5 billion euros or become the first country in the euro's 13-year history to default.
The postponement is "very worrying" and "reflects a growing concern among some euro-area countries that Greece will not abide by the conditions of the second bailout package," said Nicola Mai, an economist at JPMorgan Chase Bank in London. "It appears that some euro-area countries are willing to let Greece default."
Euro's Guardians
Tensions over Greece pushed the euro down 0.6 percent to $1.3060 at 5:05 p.m. in Brussels. Meantime, evidence mounted that the euro's guardians have made progress ring-fencing Greece's woes. Portugal raised 3 billion euros today, selling debt maturing in up to 12 months after increasing the amount to meet investor demand.
Greece's caretaker Cabinet, led by Prime Minister Lucas Papademos, yesterday met Europe's demand for 325 million euros in savings by making cuts to defense, public investment and local authorities, two government officials said.
The head of Greece's second-biggest political party, New Democracy's Antonis Samaras, sought to meet a second demand today by providing a signed pledge to back the "objectives, targets and key policies" of the austerity program.
Samaras, seeking early April elections, left open the possibility of "modifications" to Greek policies to promote growth. The head of the rival socialist party, former Prime Minister George Papandreou, dispatched his own written pledge, NET TV reported.
'Horror Movie'
Greece has depleted its credibility by missing targets for deficit reduction, economic reforms and asset sales that were set when it obtained a 110 billion-euro aid package in May 2010. As a result, the once-taboo notion of a departure or expulsion from the euro has crept into the mainstream political debate.
"We cannot give anyone a pretext or motive to apply such a scenario that would prove to be a horror movie not just for Greece but for the world economy," said Venizelos.
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti intervened in the north- south debate, blaming the collapse of budget discipline in Europe on moves by previous German and French governments to shred the anti-deficit "stability pact" in 2003.
"There are no good guys and bad guys: we all need to feel jointly responsible," Monti, himself a caretaker leader picked to restore Italy's finances, said at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France.
Also unclear was whether the European Central Bank, buyer of 219.5 billion euros of weaker countries' bonds in the past two years, would contribute to debt relief in the new package.
Potential Profits
Euro statutes bar the central bank from financing governments. One workaround would be for the ECB to funnel profits from its Greek holdings back through its national branches to euro governments.
The central bank probably spent about 47 billion euros to buy Greek bonds with a face value of 60 billion euros, yielding potential profits of 13 billion euros, according to Juergen Michels, chief European economist at Citigroup in London.
Central bankers have agreed "that we don't wish to make a profit on Greece," ECB council member Luc Coene of Belgium said Feb. 13 in remarks that were embargoed until today. "So when we distribute profit from a given year to the Belgian state, we will provide a breakdown of what's due to Greece and it's then up to the government to decide how to use it."

The Senate Commerce Committee is today holding a hearing about online advertising privacy. Scheduled to testify are:
- Jane Horvath, Google Senior Privacy Counsel
- Mike Hintze, Microsoft Associate General Counsel, Legal & Corporate Affairs
- Chris Kelly, Facebook Chief Privacy Officer
For Google's part, Horvath says she'll be focusing on the following:
- First, Google supports the passage of a comprehensive federal privacy law that would enhance consumer trust and protections; establish a uniform framework for privacy; and put penalties in place to punish and dissuade bad actors;
- Second, we have participated in the Federal Trade Commission's effortsto develop principles relating to online privacy and behavioral advertising, and our hope is that revised principles will be adopted widely by the online advertising industry;
- Third, we believe that the private sector and government should provide more education for consumers about what kinds of personal information are collected by websites, how such data is used, and what steps they can take to better protect their privacy. Too often, web site operators view their online privacy policy as the beginning and end of their privacy obligations;
- And finally, we believe that industry should provide greater labeling of online display ads -- as we currently do with text ads -- and give consumers mechanisms to opt out of behaviorally targeted advertising.
The hearing begins at 10am in SR - 253.
Google has been vocal about their dedication to privacy this week. They've thrown up a privacy link on their minimalist home page and addressed the concerns related to a ruling requiring them to hand over YouTube user logs.
But Google's insistence on their privacy policy has generally not been enough for lawmakers, especially in election years. Several states have taken on the online advertising privacy issue, most recently in New York and Connecticut.
Facebook has not been as successful in protecting user privacy. Last year, the social network came under fire for its Beacon ads, which used user data without their permission.

I used to limit the student logons by restricint their home share to one user, and then testing if their home share mapped.
BUT this meant we had to share each home folder.
how about a script that ran (constantly or every minute) to look at AD to see if there is any duplicate user accounts with an active session?
do you think this would be easy (this is why i am asking the experts).

The Ridiculously Delicious Cinnamon-Apple Cake
A year later… I'm back!
It's fall, which means buckets of apples are available, so some friends and I had a baking extravaganza last weekend and baked up an apple pie, an apple cake, two pans of apple crisp, and some apple sauce.
I thought I would share with you the apple cake we made because it was so delicious. It's a Cooking Light receipe that we found on myrecipes.com (giving credit where it's due!)
Sorry for the poor quality picture… all I had available was my phone camera!
- 1 3/4 cups sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup stick margarine, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 ounces block-style fat-free cream cheese, softened (about 3/4 cup)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 cups chopped peeled Rome apple (about 2 large)
- Cooking spray
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Beat 1 1/2 cups sugar, margarine, vanilla, and cream cheese at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended (about 4 minutes). Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture, beating at low speed until blended.
- Combine 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon. Combine 2 tablespoons cinnamon mixture and apple in a bowl, and stir apple mixture into batter. Pour batter into an 8-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray, and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon mixture.
- Bake at 350° for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan. Cool the cake completely on a wire rack, and cut using a serrated knife.
- Note: You can also make this cake in a 9-inch square cake pan or a 9-inch springform pan; just reduce the cooking time by 5 minutes.
Baker note: We used a springform pan, and it worked out just fine. We also substituted some whole wheat flour for the all-purpose flour, and I'm not sure if you could taste a difference since I've never tried the cake before, but it worked great!

The Deal Wizard enjoys traveling... he just hates packing. He can't seem to fold shirts correctly and most efforts look similar to a rat's nest. That's why he bought some packing cubes.
If you've never used a packing cube, you're missing out. Not only does the cube hold your clothes securely during the trip, you can stay organized when you arrive at your destination.
With this one day (2/26) deal, you get one large cube and one medium cube for $6 shipped. That's about half what the Deal Wizard paid for his set.
You'll need more than one set if you want to fully embrace the concept. Try it, it works.

Great time had by all!
We were all impressed with the log cabin and the property. It was every thing we expected and more! Everything was all in great condition, clean and provided something to keep everyone busy. My grandsons loved the fishing off the dock. This is one place I would definitely want to go back to and suggest others take advantage of nice relaxing get away.
OMG ....way too cool!
OMG this place is amazing! So spacious and clean! We had twenty for a family vacation and the 11 kids thought they had died and gone to heaven! The amenities for kids was unbelievable.....their own bunk room , so tastefully decorated!......the theatre room with popcorn machine....the video arcade room....along with the pool table and foosball table....and to top it off....a large hot tub! Each of the 5 bedrooms were perfect with everything all matching! The yard was huge where we played lots of games and we had fires at the firepit at night We cooked all our meals right there in the large commercial kitchen. We rented the pontoon and found the rope swing which everyone thoroughly enjoyed. It would be hard to top this unbelievable lake place or was it "palace"! Thank you Amy for assisting us with any needs we had....as always you're very easy to work with. We'll definitely rent it again!!!!!!!
Absolutely perfect!
We gathered our kids from the East and West hoping for a happy reunion. We were not disappointed. It was as advertised. Amy is great to work with. We enjoyed the proximity to the lake and the boat dock. Our children and grandchildren loved to play on the beach and in the water. It was fun to watch them jump off the dock into the water. We had a campfire one night and roasted marshmallows. That was so relaxing to talk and look over the lake. We would recommend the restaurant at Big Sandy Lake lodge. the food was good with generous portions and service was excellent. Our only regret was we did not bring our bikes. That would have been a fun activity to do as a family. Our kids are already voting on this being our next get together spot. It must have been good if they are willing to drive for 20 hrs one way to get to the cabin. That says a lot. Thanks Amy for a great vacation spot and gathering place! Hope to be back!

Tips on how to close an online g star jeans saleBy . Filed in Uncategorized |
Another important element that is important in any online g star jeans sale is the ability to keep a promise. The seller should be able to deliver what the buyer is looking for. If they lack the type of denim that the buyer is, looking for it is advisable for them not to promise the buyer anything. This is called earning a right. The seller should earn the respect and trust of a seller, since, many people eye online cloth sellers suspiciously. To deaden the buyer's suspicions, it is advisable to try to answer all the queries of the buyer.

Where there is a problem, there is an opportunity…Montreal finished at the bottom of the list behind Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, Quebec City, Ottawa and Halifax.
Via: Huff Strategy
Corporate Knights Magazine unveiled the third-annual Corporate Knights Most Sustainable Cities in Canada
The top cities in the 2009 list. The comprehensive ranking identifies Canadian cities whose practices leave the smallest environmental footprint possible and create a healthy, thriving population. Corporate Knights Sustainable Cities Ranking are as follows:
Large city category: Edmonton, AB
Medium city category: Halifax, NS
Small city category: Yellowknife, NT
…Montreal's (5.96) ambitious GHG reduction target is complemented by the city's innovative "Bixi" bike share program and a plan to double its network of bike paths by 2014. Montreal's 2009 budget allocated a record $322 million to accessible, energy-efficient public transit. Host to over 32 public arts events last year, the largest community garden network in the country, and the fewest fast food stores per capita of all cities, Montreal's top score was in the Social Well-being category.
Opportunity to improve: Montreal struggled in the Ecological Integrity category with high rates of water use and poor air quality. High unemployment rates aided to a poor showing in Economic Security.

french bread pizza
Are you sure you want to delete this recipe?
This recipe was uploaded by 04burgesse
Pre heat the oven at 180 degrees. In a hot pan splash some oil. Wait untill this is hot and put in your finely chopped onion and crushed garlic. Once these are cooked put in your tomatoes. Then add a 2-5 teaspoons of mixed herbs ( choice of taste ) , a pinch of salt and pepper and a pinch or two of sugar to sweeten the tomatoes. Then have a good squirt of tomatoe puree to give colour to the sauce and more flavour and a dribble of red wine vinigar for a kick. Once you done this leave the sauce to reduce for around 5 to 10 mins. Whilst your waiting you can get your french bread ready by cutting long peices. Then cutting them im half so one side is crust and the other is bread and put the on a tray ( crust down, bread up ) Then simply spoon the sauce onto the bread equally. then grate some cheese on for taste. Then put them into the oven for around 5-8 minutes to brown off. :thumbsup: Enjoy. :D

Received this as a free sample (labelled "Soothing Cleansing Oil") when I purchased the inferior quality gel eyeliner from BB. To my great surprise, this is an excellent product for removing long wear makeup. It does not irritate my sensitive eyes and rinses off completely. I have a very oily t-zone and recoiled from the idea of putting anything oily on my skin. However this product is fully water misicible and turns to a milky fluid on contact with water. If anything, it's a tiny bit drying. I am pleased at how quickly and efficiently it removes makeup. Note: this product should not be confused with the 'Long Wear Eye Makeup Remover" by BB, which is a disgusting oily mess and DOES NOT remove makeup. Even the BB salesgirls cannot tell the difference between the products, so buy with care!
What a crap for such a price! It doesn't even remove the tinted moisturiser and I have to apply it for the second time. Guess what, the tinted moisturiser is still there! It also make my sensitive/dry cheecks red. I'll go on buying Sephore's Supreme Cleansing oil, which is almost 1/3 cheaper, effective and not that harsh.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Contains a unique blend of oils - sunflower, jojoba, olive and kukui nut along with jasmine flower extract for its soothing properties (and light fragrance?) - yet, I found the consistency to be more runny than viscous and compared to other cleansing oils I've tried (DHC, Fancl, Shu Uemura, SKII...etc.) I need to use a lot more because it's lacking in that nice slip. Removes eye and face makeup adequately, although it does blur my vision a tiny bit if I happen to get any residue in my eyes, so I will use a separate eye makeup remover if I go heavy on the eyeshadow and mascara.
This is one of the more luxurious high end cleansing oils I've sampled, but there's something in the formula that I'm sensitive to. If I use this to remove my eye makeup, my top and bottom lash lines itch like crazy. Also, it doesn't rinse off squeaky clean. For combo to oily skintypes, you might need an additional cleanser to combat that effect.
This does remove makeup very quickly. It also smells amazing. However, I can get the same results from using cold cream at a fraction of the price. Also, to me, this didn't rinse off as much as I would like. So, I would most likely end up washing my face after using this, which is a waste of my money.

Bought the new formulation Soothing Cleansing Oil, I find this dries out my skin. Rinses well, smells nice but I still prefer my Fancl Cleansing Oil. :)
I'm into the Oil Cleansing Method (OCM) at the moment, it helps remove my oil clogs and dead skin cells much better than any scrub or masks I've ever used so I can't really comment on how well this removes makeup.

I used to be a huge shu cleansing oil fan, but since they went out of the country, I stopped buying them. I have tried to use others, but none really came to comparison including the famous FANCL. Bobbi Brown's is the closest cleansing oil that I found that's close to the consistency and the cleansing quality as Shu in the states. I think if you want to try Shu or any cleansing oil in general,try the bobbi brown first. Obviously don't buy it; just get a sample and see if you like the feel.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have used Mac and Shu oils which are superior. This one of bb is thicker and does not rinse clean. As it more thick it also spreads less easily and thus you need to use more. I love bb makeup but the skin care doesn't work for combo/oily skins at all.
I normally use DHC cleansing oil and love it. But, as I sometimes do, I just wanted to try something new. I'm glad I did, I really like this product. It has a much thinner, lighter feel in comparison to DHC and mixes well with water (DHC does not). I don't think it removes stubborn eye makeup as well as and is bit more expensive than DHC. It smells fresh and light. It does not aggravate my oily skin and large pores. I will repurchase.

More reviews by beautyjunkie2012
This cleansing oil is well received by my oily/combo skin. It does an awesome job at removing all my make-up. Eye make-up as well. Best applied on dry skin where I masaage around my face I then allow my fingers to get wet and that is when the real magic happens. I do use a soaking baby face towel to wipe my face followed by a quick rinse of water. A touch of toner and my skin is super happy.
Pros:Great at removing eye makeup, contains no mineral oil, lightly scented
Cons: wish it was a bigger bottle,
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Didn't really think much of the Bobbi Brown skincare range until I tried this cleansing oil in a department store and was instantly hooked! I have very dry skin and use this in conjunction with the Bobbi Brown buffing grains, which gives me extremely smooth skin. I use 2 squirts of the oil, add about half a teaspoon of the buffing grains into my palms and start massaging into my face for a couple of minutes. Then I add a bit of water to my face and the oil turns to foam and wash it all off. It doesn't leave any oily residue and has a wonderful gingery smell.
At £27 a bottle, it is quite pricey especially if you buy it with the buffing grains which is about the same price- but I haven't found anything that works better for smooth, clear skin so I will stick to this combo for now!

LibLabCon Getting Nervous Because UKIP Hasn't Gone Away…..
As the country closes down for August there is one little factoid that our fearless media have somehow "missed" (I wonder why?…lol..)
Yup, despite all the efforts of those bright young things (and the bright not so young things) at the Telegraph and Times and the cut and paste hacks at the Mail The YouGov monthly average over the 18 months since January 2013 shows support for UKIP steady and firm at around 12/14%. Remember the Labour bean counters who reckoned even without winning a seat a 9% UKIP vote could siphon off enough numbers from the Tories to lose them several key marginals? Remember the recent Ashcroft poll that suggested the possibility of UKIP slipping out in front in some seats where Lab and Con are neck and neck on 30% each?
BTW – don't just take my word for it….read what this leading electoral academic has to say…
All of them, the political class and the media class are very very nervous about all this. It just doesn't fit into their cosy world view….there's a whiff of Wat Tyler in the air – and a bloody good job, say I….

News & Press
Welcome to all the latest news and press from Animal Aid.
Statement from Animal Aid on Race Horse Deaths
There has been an outraged response from the racing industry over the front-page Daily Mirror article (20 September) on the death of race horse Wigmore Hall – which features Animal Aid's photographs of the horse being shot. Amongst the aspects of the piece that have been hotly disputed was Animal Aid's assertion that one in 42 horses dies each season on jump racecourses. The statistic is reliable.See how we calculated that fraction Read our press release Read the article in the Daily Mirror
Bullet in the head for a long-haul horse
Our undercover investigators took photographs the racing industry does not want the public to see. They show Wigmore Hall moments after breaking his leg at Doncaster Racecourse, and then being shot in the head by a vet.
Screened off in order to be out of sight from the race-going public in the grandstands, Wigmore Hall's unceremonious death was brought about by a bullet from a silent pistol.Moreabout the career and death of Wigmore Hall Read the article in the Mirror
United Utilities Calls off the Cull!
Campaign by Bird Lover and Animal Aid Successful
When bird lover David Kennedy discovered that Canada geese were being shot at Lingley Mere – a lake owned by Warrington-based United Utilities – he felt he had to speak out. David, who lives about 10 miles from Lingley Mere, knew that a proposed cull of geese at Lake Windermere had been halted when the local authority was persuaded to put into place non-lethal control plans, and he contacted United Utilities to urge them to do the same.Moreabout the successful campaign to convince United Utilities to stop killing Canada geese

Badger Killing has Begun
The badger cull has resumed in Gloucestershire and Somerset, despite overwhelming public opposition, independent scientific evidence and the fact that last year's culls were nothing short of a fiasco. Even the government's own Independent Expert Panel concluded that the 2013 culls were both ineffective and inhumane.More about the badger cull Gloucestershire Against Badger Shooting Somerset Badger Patrol Somerset Against the Badger Cull Dorset for Badger and Bovine Welfare Hunt Saboteurs Association

Take action against battery cages for 'gamebirds'
The focus of this year's National Anti-Shooting Week (22 - 28 September) is our campaign to ban the battery cages that are used to incarcerate breeding pheasants and partridges. We view the abolition of these contraptions – known in industry circles as 'raised-laying cages' – as an important first step towards the end of all 'sport' shooting.Get involved in National Anti-Shooting Week Write to your MP
Environmental impacts of animal farming spark continued controversy
New research published by Cambridge and Aberdeen universities has provided further evidence of the massive and growing environmental impacts of farming animals for food, sparking more debate on the issue.More about the new report on animal farming and the environment Register for the Great Vegan Challenge
Say 'No' To Ice Bucket Challenge
Huge sums of money have been donated in recent weeks to motor neurone disease charities through the ice bucket challenge craze. Animal Aid is urging people to resist enriching these charities by dowsing themselves in iced water or challenging others to do so.More about Animal Aid's opposition to the Ice Bucket Challenge Visit our Victims of Charity Website
The 'SOCPA Seven'
September 22 marks the start of a criminal trial in London's Southwark Crown Court that, supporters of the seven defendants claim, amounts to a concerted attack on non-violent grass roots anti-vivisection campaigning. It is argued that peaceful protests against Europe's largest animal testing lab, Huntingdon Life Sciences, have led to charges of criminal conspiracy 'under laws created specifically to criminalise animal rights campaigning'.More about the SOCPA Seven
Ask your MP to support the battery cage ban!
We are asking MPs to pledge their support for a ban on the use of battery cages for the breeding of pheasants and partridges. These cages each hold one cock pheasant and eight to ten female pheasants for the whole of their productive lives.More about our campaign for a ban on battery cages for breeding pheasants and partridges Write to your MP now
BBC documentary reveals health impacts of meat
Despite trying to remain impartial throughout, the first part of the BBC's documentary 'Horizon: Should I Eat Meat?' (18 August) showed in no uncertain terms that current meat consumption levels in the UK are unhealthy, especially those of processed red meat such as bacon and sausages.More about the documentary Horizon: Should I Eat Meat?
The Inglorious Twelfth
August 12th – the so-called Glorious Twelfth – marked the start of the four-month grouse shooting season. A new Animal Aid report, Calling the Shots 2014, is aimed at alerting the public to the truth about an activity that is based on extensive wildlife and environmental destruction. Burning is carried out to encourage the growth of fresh heather, on which the grouse are fattened-up for shooting. Roads are dug and car parks built for the visiting 'guns'. Moorland wildlife perceived to threaten the birds is slaughtered.More about the Glorious Twelfth and out-of-control grouse shoot owners Take action now
Royal Ascot Update – Death Toll Rises to Four
It has been announced today (7 August) that young filly Inchila has been destroyed after she was unable to recover from a fractured pelvis sustained during a race at Royal Ascot this year. This brings the 2014 Royal Meeting's equine death toll to four.More about the horse deaths at Royal Ascot
Two farmers prosecuted for neglecting animals
A farmer in Yorkshire has been jailed for 16 weeks after 350 dead and dying animals were discovered at his farm, whilst another farmer in Wales has had his animals seized after they were found to be neglected and underfed.More about the farmers prosecuted for neglecting animals
Insensitivity of primate researchers exposed by government committee
The Animals in Science Committee (ASC), which is responsible for advising the government on vivisection, has rejected several elements of a deeply disturbing government-commissioned report that downplayed the suffering of primates used in neuroscience research.More about the report Read our response to the report
Home Office minister calls for an end to animal testing
Norman Baker, the minister responsible for regulating animal experiments in the UK, has called for an end to animal testing. Speaking to the BBC, he said that a ban 'would not happen tomorrow', but that he was working to persuade industry of the economic advantages to ending the practice.More about the statement Read the article on the BBC website
Growing backlash against the brutality and rural vandalism of grouse shoot owners
A new Animal Aid report charts the growing backlash against grouse shooting, and attacks the Tory-led coalition government for the way in which it has 'increased the flow of public money in the moor owners' direction while stripping away controls that could moderate their reckless excesses'.More on Animal Aid's updated report, Calling the Shots 2014, which reveals that wealthy moorland shoot owners are receiving even more financial and regulatory encouragement to wreak havoc on sensitive moorland habitat Take action and write to Defra now
Visit SlaughterhouseCCTV.org.uk
Animal Aid has launched a powerful addition to our campaign for mandatory CCTV in slaughterhouses: a new film hosted on a dedicated website – SlaughterhouseCCTV.org.uk.

Two-thirds of British chicken contaminated with campylobacter
An undercover investigation by The Guardian has revealed a string of appalling hygiene and biosecurity failures at slaughterhouses and factory farms that is fuelling the 280,000 cases of campylobacter food poisoning from chicken meat each year.More about campylobacter contamination in British chicken Watch The Guardian's undercover investigation
Giving up meat is better for the environment than giving up your car, says new study
New research from the USA has found that cutting meat consumption would do more to reduce carbon emissions than getting rid of your car. The scientists behind the report singled out beef farming as being especially damaging to the environment and proposed cutting subsidies for meat production in order to reduce consumption.Moreabout the environmental impacts of meat production
Keep animals cool in hot weather
With the recent arrival of hot weather, we should be reminded that animals suffer and die when temperatures rise. Dogs die very quickly in hot cars and they should not be left inside them even for very short periods. Opening a window a few inches is not sufficient.
It's not just dogs who suffer in heatwaves. We offer advice on caring for rabbits, smaller animals and wildlife.More about how to help animals in hot weather
Appeal for common sense from new Environment Minister
Owen Paterson's time as Environment Minister was dominated by tribal allegiances to the farming and pro-hunting, pro-shooting countryside fraternity, which resulted in irrational and highly damaging policies, such as the disastrous badger cull. But with his sacking in the latest cabinet reshuffle comes the opportunity for a more rational, common sense approach to farming policy in the UK.More about the change of Environment Minister
Another increase in animal experiments: Government tries to airbrush GM animal suffering
The number of experiments conducted in British laboratories in 2013 was the highest in nearly 30 years, according to government statistics published today. The total of 4.12 million 'procedures' exceeded the 2012 figure by 11,600. The use of genetically modified (GM) mice once again dominated the Home Office's (HO) annual figures, and the department's strategy is a clear one: to suggest that little or no suffering is involved in this area of research because most of it involves benign breeding programmes.Moreabout the 2013 animal research statistics and our analysis
Culling badgers 'won't control bovine TB'
Computer modelling by the universities of Warwick and Cambridge has accurately reproduced the spread of bovine TB and the number of cases. Furthermore, the study, which has been published in Nature, has concluded that culling badgers will not control the disease.More on the study into how to prevent the spread of bTB Read the BBC article

More than 29,000 Utahns have found health coverage on the Affordable Care Act's online insurance marketplace, www.HealthCare.gov, 36 percent of whom enrolled last month.
Nationally, enrollment soared to 3.3 million, with 1.1 million, or 53 percent, signing up in January.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
"That's now up to 9.6 million Americans who have either signed up for private coverage or Medicaid," said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius announcing the numbers on Wednesday.
January's tally shows enrollment tapering from the spike in December, when scores of shoppers initially stymied by technical failures were finally able to complete online applications. And it's unclear how many consumers have actually paid their first month's premium, raising questions about whether the Obama administration will reach its enrollment goals.
The federal government had hoped to link 7 million people with private health plans before the open enrollment window closes March 31.
But Julie Bataille, communications director for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, expects enrollment to be brisk through March and stressed, "Our overall goal really remains to enroll as many Americans as possible in affordable health coverage."
Wednesday's report detailed the types of insurance plans Utahns favored.
Exchange plans are organized into "metal tiers," based on their actuarial values. Most Utah consumers, 55 percent, picked "silver" plans, which pay 70 percent of the costs of covered services.
Another 14 percent chose bronze, 26 percent went with gold and 4 percent picked platinum.
Nearly half, or 47 percent, of Utah's exchange shoppers are young, between the ages of 18 and 34. More than half are women.

Next time, when you buy or waste anything for yourself or your family, think of a child who goes without a morsel whole day. This shows how spiritual people are in India, because next time you come across any kid without food, just see your, Allah, Shiva, Krishna, Durga, Vishnu, Hanuman, Ganapati, Ahura Mazda, Sai, Guru Nanak, Christ in him/her. May be he is testing your generosity. The day of judgment only Karma is accounted for nothing else, no wealth, no position, name or fame.

One of the highest cities in the world, Potosí rises up from a cold and barren plateau at an altitude of 4050m. Founded in 1545 after the discovery of silver in Cerro Rico, Potosí quickly became legendary for its wealth and within three decades it was the largest city in the New World. Potosí´s seesawing history continues to be tied wholly to the silver of Cerro Rico, a mountain now honeycombed with deep mines.
Although floods and earthquakes have left their marks, Potosí retains its colonial charm. Narrow streets wind steeply around churches, cathedrals, museums, markets and plazas. In 1987 UNESCO declared the city of Potosí a ´World Heritage Site´ in recognition of its rich history and wealth of colonial architecture.
Buses arrive daily from all major cities in Bolivia inlcuding La paz (approx. 11 hours) via Oruru (approx. 8 hours). Potosi is the most common launch pad to Uyuni (approx. 6 hours).
Trains travel a scenic route to Sucre (approx. 6 hours)
Potosí also has the world´s highest commercial airport with flights to and from La Paz.
Because of its altitude Potosí is cold year round. The summer months between December and March average around 13º Celsius while the winter months between June and August regularly dip below freezing.

The Maximum Student-to-Teacher Ratio in this class is 25 to 1.
Our School Day is Monday through Thursday from 8:30am to 3:00pm, and Friday from 8:30am to 2:00pm.
Purpose Statement
The goal of Zion Lutheran School is to help students develop a relationship with Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. At the elementary and middle grades, we realize positive socialization, Christian empathy for one another, and classroom relationships support much of a student's school success. In order to prepare students for a rewarding Christian relationship, teachers implement self-help strategies that provide structure, teach organizational skills, and encourage successful performance.
Spiritual Life
Religion: Through the curriculum, Voyages, emphasis during the school year is the life of Jesus and the gospel of Matthew. Additional subjects will include an overview of the Bible, church history and Martin Luther. Daily devotions, along with weekly memory work, all help the children grow spiritually.
Chapel: All students gather together each week for a worship service that includes prayer, music, Christian mission opportunities, and age appropriate talks. Parents are welcome to join us each week for this special time.
Academic Life
Language Arts & Reading: The students continue to strengthen their skills in grammar, writing, and spelling though English and Spelling Workout. Literature and independent reading are also encouraged in a variety of genres and monitored through journaling.
Mathematics: Middle Grade Math – Tools For Success continues to build on the fundamentals of math and offers tools for Internet and classroom computer activities.
Science: An appreciation for the world God has created is gained as the children study life, physical and earth science. We are currently adopting a new curriculum. Activities and labs take place weekly.
Social Studies: In order to better understand the world in which we live, students focus on ancient world history and incorporate map and geography skills with high level thinking skills. The text is A Message of Ancient Days.
Technology: Computer activities include work processing, research, educational games, and math problem solving through the Prentice Hall Internet site. The students enhance their skills at the computer in their classroom or in the lab twice a week. Students have access to school-owned iPads on a regular basis. SMART Boards are used in all middle school classrooms.
Physical Education: Physical Education is a class designed to provide aerobic exercise, appreciation for physical fitness, and learned skills in individual and team athletics. Students are required to dress in designated PE attire twice a week for this class.
Music: In addition to learning to play the hand chimes, the students share a basic vocabulary of the elements of music that may inform a discussion, appreciation, and study of selected musical works. The focus combines music history with appreciation of illustrative works.
Band: Band is available as an elective. Group and individual instruction prepare students for concerts and retirement home presentations.
Art: The creative side of each child is nurtured through art each week. Projects are planned to coordinate with holidays and the curriculum. Many projects have been displayed at the annual Lutheran Elementary Schools Tournament in Oregon.
Library: Students visit the library once a week for an opportunity to complete research and check out books for personal enjoyment.
Grade Activities
Field Trips: To learn more about different cultures and appreciate other people, a variety of field trips is taken throughout our community. These may include Padilla Bay, Matthew House, Seattle Times, Seattle Art Museum, and Outdoor Education.
Spring Musical: Students participate in a drama production involving song and dance. Some of the recent productions include Bye Bye Birdie and Cinderella.
Special Activities: In order for children to become well-balanced individuals, a wide variety of activities is offered. These include: soccer, drill team, volleyball, basketball, track, spelling bee, chess club, math club, knowledge bowl, music, art, drama, math, and essay competitions.
Lutheran sixth graders from the Puget Sound area come to celebrate God's creation at Miracle Ranch. This outdoor education experience helps build skills and bind friendships.
L.E.S.T.: The Lutheran Elementary Schools Tournament (L.E.S.T.) is a ministry of Concordia University, Portland in partnership with elementary schools of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod. The L.E.S.T. is based on the value of Christian education that emphasizes the love and praise of God, thankful use of talents and service to others. The primary goal of the L.E.S.T. is to provide an organized structure to promote fun, skill development, fair play and fellowship among Lutheran elementary school youth through academic, fine arts, and recreational activities. Children may be involved in one or many activities. These include: athletics, drill, cheer, spelling bee, knowledge bowl, chess club, math competition, piano and essay competition.
Outdoor Education: Students develop appreciation of God's world through a variety of programs and activities at Miracle Ranch. The 6th grade students in Puget Sound Lutheran Schools participate in the three-day event during the month of September.
Piano Lessons: Lessons are available throughout the school day for an additional charge.
Transportation: Van transportation is available within the service area.
