This year's hurricane forecast calls for a below average season but you have to remember that it only takes one storm to make it a bad year. Hurricanes can hit anytime, even when forecasters do not anticipate them. With this in mind, it is not too early to plan your landscape so in the event of a storm, you don't have to scramble for days to get it ready. With careful planning, getting ready for a storm does not have to be so draining.
The first thing you should do before hurricane season starts is to trim all your trees and bushes. Get rid of any foliage that is dead or might be hanging over your house. If you any dead or weak trees from last year's storms, cut them down so they don't have a chance to do damage this year. Take a tour of your yard and make a list of items that would be dangerous to leave lying around. This list should include patio furniture, loose garden ornaments, small potted plants, yard torches, arbors and even your gas grill. Make a list so you know ahead of time what you will have to move. If you have a shed or gazebo, you might want to add extra tie downs to be sure they stay put and don't wind up in Kansas. You can start early by limiting what you keep out in your yard during the peak months of August and September. If you own a swimming pool, you can throw all your patio furniture into the pool to help keep it from traveling across the state.
There are many plants you can put in your yard that are both attractive and also seemed to hold up fairly well during a hurricane. Hibiscus, Plumbago, Firecracker plant, Ixoria, and even my roses seemed to hold up very well during our past hurricanes. You may also want to consider some native plant varieties such as Palmetto Bush, Passionflower, Azalea Bush, Wax Myrtle, Live Oak and Southern Magnolia. Native plants are used to the high winds that can hit during hurricane season since they have been around our area for so many years. They also add a natural beauty to your yard.
If you live near the ocean, planting becomes even more of a challenge because you need to have plants that resistant to salt spray. Remember that a hurricane can carry the ocean mist far inland with its 70-plus mile-per-hour winds. Plant varieties such as Indian Hawthorne, Saw Palmetto, Confederate Jasmine, Society Garlic, Daylily, Pittisporum, Oleander and Mexican Petunia can do very well in areas where salt spray can be a problem. Gardenia plants also can fare well with less than 25 percent damage and full recovery after one growing season.
When planning your landscape, if you are going to plant large trees, you should always keep the distance from the tree to the house greater than the height of the tree when it is full grown. If you have any trees that are weak or leaning, either have them secured or remove them if they are within striking distance of your home. Another thing to look for are exposed roots. If the soil has been washed away from the roots of your trees, the root structure may be weakened and allow the tree to topple easily. Fill in these areas with soil back to the original ground level.
As you can see, with a few common sense tips and some good planning, you can have both an attractive and safe yard this hurricane season. Remember, the Atlantic hurricane season begins on June 1, 2014.

Crystal structures of rat Catechol-O-Methyltransferase complexed with coumarine-based inhibitor
In human, catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT: E.C. 126.96.36.199) is responsible for metabolism of catechol neurotransmitter and xenobiotics. The main clinical interest in COMT results from the possibility of using COMT inhibitors as adjuncts in the therapy of Parkinson's disease (PD) with l-DOPA. COMT is therefore a target for inhibitor development aiming at PD treatment and has been submitted to extensive structure-based drug design. Recently reported inhibitors have nitrocatechol structure that may inhibit oxidative phosphorylation and uncouple mitochondrial energy production. This work reports the first crystallographic study of Rat COMT complexed with non-nitrocatechol inhibitor. Analysis of the structural differences among the previously reported inhibitor complexes, coumarine-based inhibitor (4-phenyl-7, 8-dihydroxycoumarine: 4PCM) bound structure provides the explanation for inhibitor binding and can be used for future inhibitor design.

Many humans will be very familiar with hip osteoarthritis due to either development issues or trauma. The hip is a versatile joint that provides much of the power of the hind limb whilst having the biggest range of motion of any joint in the body. Painful osteoarthritis can be particularly difficult to adjust to.
In dogs the picture is the same with the developmental condition hip dysplasia (www.hipdysplasia.ie) being the biggest cause of premature and late osteoarthritis of the hip. Other conditions such as Legg Perthes disease, fractures, immune mediated arthritis, dislocation and ischaemic necrosis lead to debilitating hip pain.
Inheritance of the hip dysplasia and legg perthes disease is a problem. Although hip dysplasia is a polygenic condition and therefore cannot be completely controlled or eliminated, it has be proven that controlled breeding programs that do not breed from dogs that have either hip dysplasia or hips that re not within the right range for good hips will signifcantly reduce its incidence.
Such programs such as BVA /KC or OFA or the more sensitive Pennhip are well established systems.

Hizbullah calls Lebanon government to invest in gas exploration following Israeli announcement
The head of "Loyalty to the Resistance" bloc, which includes Hizbullah deputies in the Lebanese Parliament including MP Mohammad Raad, urged the Lebanese authorities to speed up the investment in oil wealth discovered in its waters, in order to prevent the Israeli government to reach out to this wealth.
Safir newspaper quoted on Thursday, Raad as saying: "Day after day history proves it has no mercy on those who are slow in investing in the development of national wealth, whether in water or in oil", adding that future generations will judge this slowdown which amounts to negligence on the national level and waste." MP Raad added that "the discovery of oil reserves in our national territorial waters should increase the attention of all officials to act and make the utmost efforts in order to start the investment operations, and jump over all the bureaucratic procedures, because the issue is a challenge and a national must hin order to block the Zionist enemy and prevent the hand that extends to this wealth."
On Wednesday, Israel officially announced the results of prospecting and exploration for gas in the field of "Leviatan", located northwest of Haifa in the area adjacent to the borders of the Lebanese waters. They indicated that the field contains 16 trillion cubic feet of gas, equivalent to 453 billion cubic meters, a figure about 80 percent higher compared to gas discovered in the field of Tamar, which is located on the distance of 47 kilometers from south-east.

If you've been following our budget 318 build, you know it's built and it's finally time to put it into the car-in this case, the car is a '66 Barracuda. The premise of this engine rebuild was to build a reliable engine without breaking the bank (Read: We were being cheap). We felt that we had successfully met our plan-so far. The engine was definitely put together inexpensively, but by paying attention to the new parts we used, and the condition of the used parts we re-used, we felt we should have a dependable engine when we were finished.
But, without actually putting it in something and running it, it's just a display on an engine stand-enter the "Fish." The Barracuda came from the factory with a 273 and a four-speed, and while the factory deemed this combination adequate, it's a common thought around here that a few more cubic inches couldn't hurt, now could they? Normally, we would have decided on some sort of stroker combination, but this time we decided to see just how inexpensively we could build a V-8.
Also, we've gotten so many emails over the years by guys wanting to see a 318 build, it was time. Since the Fish came with a four-speed, it also has a clutch, and in this case, we felt that the 9½-inch unit just wouldn't cut it. Sure, the 318 is not a big-powered engine, but c'mon, a 9½- inch clutch? That's like putting a 600-cfm carburetor on a 500-inch big-block-it might fit, but that don't make it right. So we bit the bullet and upgraded to a 10½-inch clutch from Ram. We decided to use Ram's HDX Clutch set. According to Ram, they are the performance upgrade for your daily driver/hot rod. Pressure plates feature increased clamp loads and their 300 Series organic clutch disc. The 300 Series consists of steel backed organic facing material that greatly increases rotational strength, and an eight-spring center hub for excellent shock absorption. It's a tight fit, but if you use the right bellhousing, it does fit and is a great upgrade.
Next we had to tackle the cooling system. The stock radiator was leaking all over the place, and was, well, old. So we contacted Flex-a-Lite and ordered one of their Flex-a-Fit radiators. The crossflow style radiator is designed with internal fins that perform as heat sinks and absorb heat more quickly from the engine coolant, then radiate it through external fins that increase the tank's radiant surface area. According to Flex-a-Lite, it's almost threefold. The unique external fin design integrates limitless fastening points into the tank itself, transforming the radiator into a convenient bracket for attaching expansion tanks, electric fans, oil coolers, etc. This new Flex-a-Fit side tank design turns an otherwise tough radiator swap into a simple installation using a few drilled brackets.
After we finally got everything fitted, and ultimately installed, it was time for a little dyno session. Before we go any further, keep in mind this is not a high horsepower thumper built to turn tires into powder. This build was very economical and done with the idea that anyone can do it-so don't snicker if you feel the power we got isn't enough. For what it is, the 318 sounds great pulling into a cruise night, and handles traffic with ease.
Before the dyno session, it took a little time to get the tuning right. Thankfully, we had access to a F.A.S.T Air/Fuel meter that made it easy. The F.A.S.T. meter uses O2 sensors that are installed into the exhaust pipe(s), read the A/F, and tell you how to jet/tune. What a great tool.
When we were happy with the results of driving around with the F.A.S.T. meter, it was finally time to strap it to the dyno. We were afraid to do any track testing yet, because the car still has a puny 7¼ rear, and we knew a couple hard launches could be catastrophic. We'll address that later. Anyway, after the big wheel quit turning, the budget 318 gave us 220 rear wheel horsepower at 4,900 rpm. That's where the power stopped climbing, so that's where we stopped. Torque came in at 260 lb/ft at 3,650 rpm. So, we built a little 318 for under $1,700 that sounds great, runs like a champ, and will spin the tires from a stop at will. It's a 318-that sounds good to us.

I need someone to listen. Not judge, not give advice. Just listen and support me. I feel the anxiety building already. I don't wanna feel this. I need it gone.
I don't wanna lose you. Ugh.
No, nothing is bothering me…really.
I don't always get "depressed" when something bad happens. Depression sneaks up on me when I least expect it. I wake up one morning, not wanting to leave bed. I don't want to go hang out with my friends or see that movie I've been dying to watch. I don't want to talk about it, because there's nothing to talk about.
There's just this stinging feeling in my chest. This little voice that's telling me to be upset and withdrawn for no reason at all. And because I don't want to go on medicines, I have to trust myself. Most of the time I know that taking a drive or writing or going for a walk will help to make me feel better. However there are still times when the depression just takes over completely. It doesn't allow for the emergency exits to be used. So I'm left to just wait it out. Endure the pain I'm feeling inside and know that it's not permanent.
So if I seem upset and I tell you that nothing happened…just please believe me.
If you want to kill yourself, kill what you don't like. I had an old self that I killed. You can kill yourself too, but that doesn't mean you got to stop living.

There are few great surprises in life once you're an adult, but actually learning that you're pregnant for the first time is one of them. It's amazing enough to get the news yourself, but when you're ready to share it with friends and families, it's truly one of the most memorable times of your life.
People come up with all sorts of creative ways to deliver the news, and the reactions are varied but (almost) always touching. Some are just a little more enthusiastic and tear-inducing than others. For example, the parents in this first video are so happy when they get the news from their daughter, you can't help but cheer for them.
Don't you just want to join in their celebration? If only all babies were as joyfully anticipated as this lucky little one. Here are four more awesome reactions to pregnancy news:
More from The Stir: 6 Deadly Sins of Pregnancy I Confess to Committing
Telling siblings about the news can go either way, but this little girl has the sweetest reaction (forward to about 3:20 if you're short on time):
This one didn't go quite as planned when the kids were told, but it's pretty hilarious nonetheless.
Here are two dads who get the news that they're going to be grandpas. There's some profanity, so be careful who's around when you watch, but their joy is infectious.
In this one there's no big emotional outburst, but it's absolutely heartwarming to see this dad react to news that his wife is pregnant after undergoing fertility treatments.
More from The Stir: 6 Things You Can Blame on Pregnancy Brain (and 6 You CAN'T)
What's the best reaction you got when you shared news of your pregnancy?
Image via YouTube
Those are awesome! I loved the first one, the 2 dads, and the last one.
The best reaction we got was when we told my 14 year old sister-in-law. She must've said, "You're gonna have a baby??!!" a dozen times!
I absolutely looove the last 2 =)
Crying over them all! My pregnancy (2nd) was a complete shock to everyone, my husband and I included, because we were told we couldnt couldnt have another because of some health issues of mine. Each one is a blessing and these new parents are fortunate to have such supportive families :D
Oh man, the last one made me tear up... I had to see how things turned out because she kept saying "I think so" so I looked at her YouTube... They had a son named Ethan! It's so awesome that they were able to overcome their infertility issues; what a happy ending.
I also loved the first video with the parents. All of these videos were great!
None really just oh ok..
These videos are all so wonderful--especially the 1st one. PURE JOY captured on video! When I was expecting my 1st son, I wrote a poem to include with the ultrasound picture that we gave to my parents to announce we were expecting. Even though my brother had given them grandchildren, there was something truly special when the only daughter shares the joyous news with her Mom. There are so many unique and creative ways to announce your pregnancy to your Mom. In case you haven't heard or seen this one yet, check out the "You're Going to be a Grandma!" gift book (http://www.thegrandmabook.com/). Also makes a great Mother's Day gift.
P.S. This book is based on the original poem that I wrote my Mom 16 years ago. As a "Mom-preneur" I thought their might be other Moms who might be interested in this. Wishing every Mom and Mom-to-be a wonderful Mother's Day filled with joy!
Wow my mom told me to get an abortion when i told her The News.
not sure if they were going to cry or laugh :-)
My dad jumped up and couldn't stand it he was so happy. :)

Mingo is my FAVORITE spot in the Portland area. A branch of of Portland's Downtown Cafe Mingo restaurant, Mingo is simple, delicious and a wonderful place. The food is always spot on and the waitstaff is dedicated to the restaurant's quality. I was first introduced to Mingo by my aunt when I was 18. My aunt has been going for years before that - this place knows how to stay in business and thrive. Everyone who knows Mingo knows that the "Penne al Sugo di Carne" is their specialty. Everyone I have sent to Mingo raves about the food, especially the Sugo. You can go for happy hour and get a smaller portion even. This restaurant has it going on!

WMV stands for Windows
Media Video -- developed and controlled by Microsoft. WMV is a generic name
of Microsoft's video encoding solutions and doesn't necessarily define the technology
what it uses -- since version 7 (WMV7) Microsoft has used its own flavour of
MPEG-4 video encoding technology.
DivX video format is originally based on hacked
WMV codec.
Windows Media Format 11 adds support for HD video up to 1080P. WMF 11 runs
only on Windows XP and Vista.
Additional information is available on Microsoft
Windows Media page.
Animated GIF is not
really a video format. It is a sequence of GIF frames stringed together. Due
to the 256-color limitation of GIF, the color is dithered. The compression is
not that great, so the file size tend to be large given the frame rate and resolution.
However, since GIF is supported by all web browsers without any add-on, it
is a great way to create small video thumbnails. Generally, the resolution should
be kept small (80x60, for example), the frame rate should be kept low (4 fps,
for example), and the duration should be kept under a few seconds.
Animated GIF is not really a video format. It uses 256-color GIF compression,
with low quality and relatively large files. It is not suitable for video playback.
However, since it is supported by all web browsers without any add-on's, it

To encode a video to an animated GIF, you need to have River

Movie Review: For Colored Girls
The Charlotte Observer
"For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow Is Enuf" hit Broadway audiences like a hammer blow 34 years ago.
Playgoers were on their feet physically at the end but on their knees emotionally. Ntozake Shange's "choreopoem," a series of monologues that put us inside the minds of black women, left many people (including this 22-year-old white man) feeling we'd had our first full look at characters who were not only disenfranchised but nearly invisible – a poignant thought in the year of America's bicentennial celebration.
Tyler Perry was 7 at the time, but the play must have made a powerful impression later. The writer-director waited until he had the clout, budget and prestige to attract a top-flight cast, then turned "Colored Girls" into a movie with a little less darkness but plenty of heart and guts.
The film is an odd hybrid structurally: Perry pays tribute to the original poetry by inserting it into otherwise realistic dialogue. So Phylicia Rashad is counseling a loose woman in conventional fashion when she breaks into a long, flowery speech about lilies and African queens.
That suited me, as I could listen to Phylicia Rashad read the list of possible side effects of an antidepressant capsule. But if you can't get comfortably inside this structure, which has an exotic and melodramatic quality, the movie will make you fidget.
It has two undeniable virtues, however: Perry's bolder attitude as a writer and uniformly good work by his cast.
Perry deals for the first time with many problems that go unsolved by man or God. (Except for a religious fanatic who doesn't seem to get much joy from her faith, played by Whoopi Goldberg, God is never mentioned.)
A sympathetic character becomes HIV-positive. Little children suffer without reprieve. A back-alley abortionist, cheerful and casual, sticks her tools into a scared high school graduate. The main hope offered is that broken people can hold each other up and find strength together.
Except for an apartment manager with loads of common sense (Rashad) and a social worker with more conscience than she needs (Kerry Washington), all the characters surf on waves of pain.
A dance teacher (Anika Noni Rose), an office worker (Kimberly Elise) and the editor of a fashion magazine (Janet Jackson) all suffer at the hands of callous or brutal men. A sluttish bartender (Thandie Newton), crippled by a sexually abusive grandfather and an unhelpful mom, treats men cruelly before they can do the same to her. Even the cheerful manager of a free health clinic lets the same philanderer into her bed and heart over and over. (She's played by Loretta Devine, who steals the show with the poem "Somebody Almost Ran Off With My Stuff.")
We have made progress since 1976, and Perry knows that. (For one thing, he would never have directed an expensive studio picture back then.)
The fact that he can show black women running mass-market magazines and health clinics reminds us how far we've come. But there are still plenty of women of all colors suffering from abuse of all kinds, some shouting to make themselves heard and some whispering in fear. We still need to listen.
This adaptation of Ntozake Shange's drama is slightly softened but has plenty of power and a first-rate cast.(Full review)

(Part 1 – 'The Last Man on Earth')(Part 2 – 'The Last Woman on Earth')
The emptier the world proved to be, the more confining it became.
They had been alone in their dank, global mausoleum for over three months now and at times it seemed that a reality with other humans was something they had only dreamed once. It faded. Summer was approaching and the heat coaxed out a new noxious odor from within the pervading stench that Dioria and Lammel had only just begun to grow accustomed to. The rotting bodies and unchecked intestinal functions of the (dramatically decreased) animal population were a potent enough aromatic experience, even more with the oven on.
As Lammel had hoped, in time Dioria found rudimentary human interaction a necessity. Starving herself or opening a vein with a sharp window shard had required too much will-power, which meant that life stubbornly crawled on. As the weeks went by without contact, without affirmations of her beauty or modest approval of her benign asides, her normally calm and steady internal voice had grown frantic and insistent. The loneliness did not agree with her.
It had been nearly a month since their last meeting when Dioria wandered out one Tuesday (or Wednesday or Saturday; what of it?) towards Lammel's neighborhood, a formerly immaculate row of posh condominiums and designer shops, now a molten river of skin and plastic, bones and silicone. In the weeks since she had last seen the area, Lammel had taken on the morbid task of clearing pathways through the offal, creating the impression of a plowed street after a particularly vibrant snowstorm.
He was surprised to see her, pleasantly so, a state his face could not hope to hide.
In her absence, his inner monologue had grown bolder, decisive, with the resolve of a settler in the land of ravages, commissioned by an unknown power to remake the world in his own image. He had developed a day-to-day routine, something he never actually had in the pre-Apocalypse when an entire day could be lost within the plains of a digital battlefield. Worldwide desolation had a haunting familiarity, which is not to say that the sight of a decomposing arm sloshing out of its socket into a crumbled mess didn't still bring on fits of convulsive disgorging, but at least now, through the practiced art of disassociation, he could sleep a few hours a night. He was a hardened survivor.
But the presence of Dioria softened him.
"Any news?" She asked.
"Other survivors?"
"Oh. No."
"It really is just us."
"…Yes." He answered.
It was midday, the sun above them, and for a brief period the omnipresent shadows were in hiding. They stood a mile apart in their uncomfortable circle of yards, and if Lammel had been more adept at reading human emotions he might have recognized the expression on Dioria's face as unholy resignation, the look of humanity. This was it, this was all. They stood in silence for minutes, Dioria looking out over the ruins, truly looking for the first time in months, her eyes focusing on a pair of shoes, half off, then a leather jacket, distressed, and next a bright diamond ring, the solitary gleam in a mound of filth. This spree spread for miles all around.
Lammel also examined his surroundings, though he had done it countless times, and he always returned to the only remaining stem of beauty in the wasteland, Dioria's lilting face. When her gaze scanned past him, he averted his eyes quickly, a biological instinct bred of his status as a lesser creature in the kingdom. But they were the last humans on earth, and surely that meant things had changed. What did it mean for him to be beneath her when there was no higher level, nothing greater with which to be compared? He was the standard. His body was, for all its failings, warm.
If he stepped up to her, pulled her to him and kissed her with all the force that his desire demanded, wouldn't she acquiesce, even reciprocate? Humans had rules, both stated and unstated, for how pursuit must be approached, but what did those rules mean in this empty world? They were animals after all, and they both had needs.
Dioria ceased her examination and looked at Lammel directly.
"We should go." She stated.
"We can't keep living here in this graveyard. There has to be more out there, somewhere. We have to find it."
"Oh. Yes. Okay."
And like that, the new social order was set.

I think it's pretty common, right, for new moms to be neurotic about the mortality of their precious little angel? To go into the nursery to check and make sure their sleeping baby is still breathing? To start to panic if things seem a little "too quiet"?
At least that's what I hear.
But isn't that supposed to wear off at some point?
Because for me, it hasn't. Worn off. And I'm wondering if my having had a near-death experience with cancer might have something to do with it. That and the fact that, being part of the cancer community, I seem to see and hear about death a lot more than I did before.
Life just seems more fragile to me now, more tenuous.
My husband and I were recently traveling with our girl to the beach, and she developed a cough that seemed to be exacerbated by the angle of her carseat. We gave her bottles of formula, a sippy cup of water, and all-natural infant cough syrup, but nothing seemed to help. Then she made an odd strangle-y, gurgle-y sound.
"I hope that wasn't her death rattle," I said over my shoulder as I crawled into the backseat of our rented minivan.
Is everyone as morbid as I am?
Given the fact that every morning that I don't hear our girl happily chattering to herself on the baby monitor, I wonder if she hasn't died in her sleep, it's probably no surprise that I'm wondering about her risks for cancer. After all, I had Stage IIIC Fallopian tube cancer, and my mother had Stage IV non-Hodgkins lymphoma nearly five years ago (and lived to tell about it).
The "Survivorship" program at the cancer center where I did my treatment offers what they call genetic counseling. They have nurse practitioners who specialize in genetics performing family cancer risk assessments for cancer patients and their loved ones. They also provide education about genetics and cancer risk, genetic testing, and access to clinical trials and research studies for those at increased risk for cancer.
Sign me up.
I'm scheduled to be assessed in the next 30 days. We can then decide what sort of testing and screening my siblings and daughter should undergo, when, and how often. Because we know that, barring a cure, early detection is key in winning the fight against cancer.
And since my daughter did me the solid of helping the doctors find my cancer, I figure I can do her one back.
I think that's the least I can do.

Joanna--I don't have cancer and I'm just as paranoid about illnesses. Mine are 1.5 and 3.5. I get these little freakouts every single time they get sick. Every. Time. I always think about how fragile they are and how their little bodies can't handle the same things ours can and then you read bizarre news stories like the kid recently who fell and scraped his knee and died of a staph infection just a couple days later--things like that don't help.
I think given your very recent diagnosis and what all you've gone through, its totally normal. Me? Maybe I need a little help--:)

The answer is not by having you sit in the woods wearing camouflage clothing and brandishing a high powered rifle to pick off poachers one by one. The answer is simple and safe requiring you only to use your skill of observation and controlling where your money goes. In the last 100 years the population of tigers in the wild has decreased over 95% and over 12, http://www.directtelevisionpackages.com/,000 elephants are illegally killed every year to support ivory trade. You've just learned two things that will make you a valuable asset to help stopping animal trade, don't buy anything produced by using tigers, including their skins or elephant ivory. If the money dries up there will be no incentive for the poachers to continue their slaughter. Some other products in high demand are rhinoceros horn and bile from gall bladders of bears used in making holistic remedies in Asia. There are many other animal species being decimated due to illegal trade and you can be part of the solution. If you observe someone possibly involved in this trade do not personally confront them. Record as much information as you can and contact the officials as soon as possible. Start with your local game warden or state's department of natural resources or wildlife. If they can't take care of the situation themselves they will contact someone who can. Don't buy products produced by wildlife and keep your money out of the circle supporting illegal poaching.
The Dangers of Having Exotic Pets in the Home{no comment}
Reasons People Want to Have Exotic Pets{no comment}
If you're a city dweller, there's not much point in having an alligator or an 8-foot python in your apartment, yet many people do it. Ever since Salvador Dali trotted around Paris with an ocelot on a leash, people have wanted to do the same thing!
Showing off is a major reason for having an exotic pet. It's like having the latest model Mercedes or the biggest yacht in the marina. Michael Jackson had an entire zoo stocked with everything from a chimpanzee read more…..
In What States is Animal Trading Legal?{no comment}
Only 10 states in the United States have laws pertaining to exotic animal trading. And, those laws do not protect the poor animals that suffer through the hands of smugglers on the journey from places like Brazil to right here in the U.S. The illegal trading of animals is ranked just second to drug trafficking! However, animal smugglers will most likely never see a day in jail. That is a horrific thought to anyone who knows and understands just what these poor animals go through only to be exchanged from one wrong hand to read more…..
Poachers Beware – An Elephant Never Forgets{no comment}
They say an elephant never forgets, but what they don't tell you is that this remarkable memory starts at a very early age. There was a special they showed on Cable.TV a while back that talked all about it. In the special, a man, recently retired, was standing outside of an elephant reservation. Suddenly, out of nowhere, one of the adult elephants charged him and killed him.
The incident was highly publicized. At the time, the event was horrifying and this seemingly unprovoked act of violence was terrifying. However, some background checks soon revealed who the victim was – a former poacher. It seems that the elephant's mother had been killed by this poacher. While the poacher left the baby to fend for itself, it eventually was found and raised in the reservation.
All that time, the baby elephant never forgot the smell of his mother's killer. And when the time came, the elephant got his revenge on his mother's murderer.
Let that be a lesson to any would-be poachers out there thinking of turning their sights toward elephants. The old adage "an elephant never forgets" is based more in fact than you realize. At least one poacher learned firsthand the truth.

Why Animal Trading Needs to be Illegal{no comment}
What is animal trading? Wild animal trading is the capturing of animals from the wild and selling them for pets or for personal menageries. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) just one country, the United States, the selling of exotic animals generates 20 billion per year. Traders use the Internet and clandestine auctions to sell their stock.
Every year, thousands of mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fish are taken out of their native habitats and brought into captivity. This not only empties wild populations of species, but many read more…..
How You can Help Stop Animal Trading{no comment}
The answer is not by having you sit in the woods wearing camouflage clothing and brandishing a high powered rifle to pick off poachers one by one. The answer is simple and safe requiring you only to use your skill of observation and controlling where your money goes. In the last 100 years the population of tigers in the wild has decreased over 95 and over 12,000 elephants are illegally killed every year to support ivory trade.

Live from City Halls, Glasgow
Presented by Louise Fryer
Matthias Pintscher and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 and are joined by Johannes Moser in Lutoslawski's Cello Concerto
Beethoven's shatteringly original 7th Symphony was deemed 'fit for a mad-house' by critics after its first performance in 1813, however it is Richard Wagner's description of the work as 'the apotheosis of the dance' that has stood the test of time. The composer-conductor Matthias Pintscher and the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra perform a concert of music inspired by 'the dance'. The Beethoven Symphony is partnered with Berlioz's orchestration of Weber's 'Invitation to the Dance', and Johann Strauss II's thoroughly Viennese Overture to his operetta Die Fledermaus.
Throughout the year the Orchestra has been exploring the unique contributions of composers from Poland, and this evening it is joined by Johannes Moser for a performance of Lutoslawski's Cello Concerto. To mark the composer's centenary year the German-born cellist takes on this work which grows from the pulsing of the cello alone to a musical drama pitting soloist against orchestra in a series of dramatic episodes which showcase Lutoslawki's deftly colourful orchestral palette.

ICAAC 2006: Physicians warn of overuse of vancomycin in treating hospital-acquired pneumonia
Vancomycin may be overused for the treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia, perhaps because of physicians' perceptions that patients are at high risk for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), according to a study by Robert H. Eng, MD, and colleagues at the Veterans Affairs New Jersey Health Care System in East Orange, NJ. The study was presented at the 45th ICAAC meeting in Washington, DC.
The researchers sought to determine whether vancomycin was used appropriately or inappropriately for the treatment of pneumonia at their institution, in accordance with guidelines developed by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS). To do so, they developed an electronic form at the point of antibiotic order to capture vancomycin prescribers' decisions and thoughts.
The point-of-care electronic form was administered to all vancomycin prescribers from October to December 2004 and captured the following information: body site of infection, reason for vancomycin use, and culture results. Individual cases were then reviewed using electronic medical records that included pharmacy, laboratory, and admission records.
A total of 286 orders for vancomycin were written for 205 patients, with 127 continuations. "To our surprise, 28% of vancomycin was used to treat respiratory infections," Dr Eng said. "Only a minority of these patients had MRSA infection confirmed by recovery of the organism from respiratory tract cultures."
The patients treated for respiratory sites were reviewed. Their average age was 72 years, 67% of cases were healthcare-associated or hospital-acquired, 39% of the orders were from intensive care units, and all had concurrent orders for antibiotics active against gram-negative bacteria. Only 13% of the patients had MRSA isolated from sputum for that admission. The average treatment period for patients was 7 days (range: 1–30 d).
The MRSA-culture-negative patients continued to receive vancomycin for a varying duration after the culture results were known.
Sixty percent of the patients improved clinically, 13% died within 7 days, and 20% died between Days 7 and 30. The MRSA rate among S aureus isolates was 50% for all cultures submitted.
All of the patients had vancomycin prescribed in accordance with the IDSA/ATS guidelines for patients at high risk for infection with multidrug-resistant bacteria. "It is possible that physicians' perceptions and interpretations of the current guidelines may lead to overuse of vancomycin for the treatment of pneumonia in hospitalized cases," Dr Eng said.
The current practice of vancomycin use in this clinical setting needs to be refined to prevent its overuse, Dr Eng concluded.
Hepatitis B immune globulin (HepaGam B, Cangene) was approved for the treatment of acute exposure to blood containing the hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), perinatal exposure of infants born to mothers who are positive for HbsAg, sexual exposure to individuals who are HbsAg-positive, and household exposure to individuals with acute HBV infection.
Aprotinin may increase risk in cardiac surgery; FDA issues alert
The serine protease inhibitor aprotinin (Trasylol, Bayer) may increase the risk of renal failure, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, and encephalopathy among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, according to an observational study in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
Colesevelam/fenofibrate combination boosts efficacy in treatment of hyperlipidemia
Colesevelam/fenofibrate combination boosts efficacy in treatment of hyperlipidemia. Fenofibrate significantly reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in patients with mixed hyperlipidemia when used in combination with the specifically engineered bile acid sequestrant (SE-BAS) colesevelam, according to a study published in Current Medical Research and Opinion.

Fireworks At St James'?
Everton will be hoping for some early fireworks in their clash with Newcastle this weekend.
Last season the Toffees recorded a 2-1 victory at St James' Park with Leon Osman and Phil Jagielka on the scoresheet.
The odds on a repeat scoreline are a tempting 10.00 (9/1) and it's worth bearing in mind that the Magpies have scored in all but their opening Premier League home game this season, while Everton had their shooting boots on with a three-goal haul in their last away match.
With that in mind David Moyes' side are 2.95 (39/20) to record any sort of victory and it could be a shrewd punt as the Blues emerge from a period of mixing it with the Premier League's elite.
If you fancy Ossie to repeat his goalscoring feat from last season's corresponding fixture the midfielder is an 11.00 (10/1) chance to bag the first goal.
A lengthier punt is on Jagielka to snare the first goal of the game. The Everton centre half often goes forward for set pieces and scored against Wigan earlier this term following a corner.
His strike on Tyneside last season also came from a training ground free-kick routine. Jags scoring the first goal is a 34.00 (33/1) gamble.
Click here to bet now.
Odds are subject to change.

"This design is beautiful and the team is able to move the words to the top of the page or bottom to accommodate your picture. Ours came out great. The finish is professional and the paper is great quality even though we did not upgrade it. We did not need to personalize anything other than moving the text. We can't wait to send them out!"
"We customized our cards with black, blush and gray instead of the yellow and gold and it turned out beautifully! WPD did an amazing job, was so prompt to get back to us on all design changes, and the customer service team was extremely helpful when I was having trouble uploading an image onto the site. The quality of the paper is great, especially for the price. I am very pleased with the way these turned out!"
"I am very pleased with the Save The Date Cards ordered for my daughter's wedding. The quality of the paper and coloring of the photo were impressive. We enhanced the photo with the "Sunshine" feature and since the photo was in an outdoors setting it added a nice glow to the finish product. Thank you"
"We really liked the design on this card, but the colors in our picture were making it difficult for the words to show up well. Customer service was very quick (sometimes within a couple hours) to make the changes we requested and the card looked great. I was nervous about the paper quality, but they were very sturdy and durable. And the picture came out very clear. I would definitely recommend using this product. I am 100% satisfied with my whole experience and end product."
"I was beyond pleased with my order! Every detail was perfect. I love how I was able to upload my photo and change the colors / fonts to my exact liking, and a sample was literally sent for my review the EXACT same day I placed my order! My order was shipped before the estimated date, and the he quality was perfect. I will definitely be ordering all the rest of my wedding products from this site. Highly recommended!!"

Dire facts Americans should know
Many Americans are only concerned about worldwide population growth although the U.S. population situation is also very dire.
Despite China's draconian one-child policy adopted in 1979 and the negative international migration it has experienced, some 350 million people have since been added to its population. Even though China's fertility rate is 1.55, far below that of the United States and replacement level of 2.1, its population is projected to grow until 2030 assuming that China continues to enforce its one-child policy!
Conversely, according to CIA.gov, estimated total fertility rate for the U.S. in 2013 was 2.06. Additionally, since Congress adopted "Immigration Reform and Control Act" (IRCA) in 1986, our illegal immigrant population has quadrupled. Furthermore, one million legal immigrants on average add to our population yearly, without counting hundreds of thousands of "guest-workers" or illegal migrants, or U.S.-born children of these newcomers.
Based on the above trends and considering half of our residents are 35 or under, our population of 317 million will continue to swell even if our fertility rate were to drop drastically to China's and immigration reduced to near zero. The U.S. population has doubled since 1950. Another doubling of 317 million equals half of India's current population. (Try to imagine 634 million cars lined up at a freeway!). Is this what we want to leave to today's children?
Presently, over 100 developing nations have fertility rates well above 2.1. Forty of them exceed 4! According to projections, 3 billion people will be added to the world's population by 2050. Currently, some 50 million Americans live in poverty including many educated parents, and our infrastructure is overburdened. Is doubling our population mostly due to immigration the responsible way to address problems here and abroad?
China symbolized poverty 3 decades ago. It is now our largest foreign creditor and holds the largest foreign currency reserves in the world. Now hundreds of billionaires, including Mexican citizen Carlos Slim, the world's second richest person, live in developing nations. Why not urge these countries to work on improving life for their own citizens, as China has done,but without promoting forced abortions? They can start by emulating the Taiwan government's humane family planning program: It brought its fertility rate from 5.1 in 1964 to 1.0 in 1983.
The U.S. is already overwhelmed with myriad problems caused by many factors and policies. Although many white and non-white people have good qualities, our continued rapid population expansion essentially means more users of water, energy and other natural resources, in addition to more job-seekers, students, patients, drivers and polluters. A very crowded, polluted and impoverished United States is not in the interest of any American citizen.
Therefore, while Americans should not promote forced abortions, we must urge elected officials in Washington, D.C. to immediately take serious and sensible steps to stabilize our population. Advocates for children, women, better environment, quality life for current and future generations should join forces to to educate individuals of child-bearing age about the consequences of having children they cannot afford. Congress should start by emulating Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's Immigration Stabilization Act of 1995 when reforming immigration for the benefit of all American citizens, native and foreign-born.
