It was a moment arranged to inspire awe: In 1996, President Bill Clinton stood at Patuxent River Naval Air Station on Independence Day as a rehabilitated bald eagle named Freedom was released back into the wild.
But something went horribly wrong. A pair of ospreys swooped in and attacked the eagle, sending it plunging into the Chesapeake Bay.
"Most of us didn't realize what was going on," Jackie Smith recalled. She had recently joined the Navy installation as a natural resources specialist, and said she was honored to attend the presidential ceremony 17 years ago.
"The bird flew and it was immediately attacked by a pair of osprey, and it fell into the water," Smith said.
Rescuers retrieved the downed eagle, and it was promptly put back into a rehabilitation program, she said.
Enemies like the osprey aside, the bald eagle has made a miraculous comeback over the last four decades, including in Southern Maryland, where the raptors can often be spotted soaring through the skies or roosting in their nests high in the trees.
A true success story
Glenn Therres, Maryland Department of Natural Resources associate director for wildlife and heritage service, has studied bald eagles for 30 years and said they represent a true success story.
Bald eagles had declined so far that there were only an estimated 487 nesting pairs in 1963 in the U.S. (excluding Alaska). That was the year after author Rachel Carson's book "Silent Spring" raised attention to the effects of the chemical pesticide DDT.
There were as few as 44 nesting pairs in Maryland in 1977, Therres said.
By the mid-2000s, there were about 400 breeding pairs in Maryland alone, and populations continue to rebound throughout the country. The number of nesting pairs in the contiguous U.S. now approaches 10,000.
"With any wildlife species, there are dangerous situations to individuals," but the population as a whole is now quite safe, Therres said.
Although the dangerous DDT was banned in 1972, the birds still need clean water to support their primary prey — fish, he said.
And eagle carcasses often are found after electrocution by overhead power lines or because of fights with other eagles or ospreys.
"Individuals are going to get hurt, individuals are going to die," Therres said.
When dead eagles are found, officials sometimes collect the remains and send them to the national eagle repository. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can then distribute eagle parts for educational purposes or to Native American tribes for use in traditional ceremonies.
Therres estimated that one or two dozen bald eagles are found dead each year in the state.
Several eagles have been killed on naval bases in Southern Maryland, but those deaths are becoming less frequent as resource agents mitigate the causes.
"We have had a handful of strikes over 20 years," Smith said, estimating that six or seven bald eagles were hit by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft landing at or taking off from the base.
Seth Berry, natural resources coordinator at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Indian Head, said that there are anywhere from 10 to 14 active bald eagle nests on the installation each year.
Eagles nest in the trees along the 17 miles of shoreline at the base, habitat that is protected with buffer zones that keep some loud or disturbing activities at least 750 feet away during nesting season, from mid-December to mid-June.
The base has worked since 2005 to mitigate bald eagle electrocutions caused by them flying into or landing on electric wires at the base. Lines are retrofitted with "flight diverters" that make the lines more visible, and they are spread farther apart so the eagles cannot touch two wires at once, which can cause electrocution, Berry said. Before the improvements, as many as five birds would die from electrocution in a year on the base. Since then, mortality is zero, one or two birds a year.
"People are very interested in the eagles," Berry said, "and osprey as well, but of course, eagles are going to stand out."
Smith said that there are two nests at Pax River as well as one on Bloodsworth Island and one on Adam Island, two properties owned by the base in the Chesapeake Bay.
"For the most part, they have been productive," she said of the nests, which usually yield one or two chicks a year.
For the last few years, Pax River and Indian Head have contracted with the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., for aerial surveys of the known nests. The college does an initial flight in mid-March to look for active nests and then follows up with a second flight in May to find out how any eggs fared.
Smith and her colleagues do some ground viewing and surveys of the nests, especially one located in a strip of trees between two fairways on Pax River's golf course that is easily visible.
"They seem to adapt very quickly to the expected noise," Smith said.
The eagles do not seem disturbed as golfers walk or drive their carts near the nests, nor do they show reactions when plane or jet noise is heard nearby, based on Smith's observations. She watched the nests to see whether the new, louder Joint Strike Fighter jet would disturb the birds, but they appeared fine, she said.
However, something unusual, like dumping a load of large rocks during shoreline restoration, has caused the birds to take note and look up from their activities, she said.
Still popular, and protected
Mike Callahan, the president of the Southern Maryland Audubon Society, said that while they are majestic to behold, bald eagles are scavengers, thieves and wily hunters. They can be seen eating road kill and getting in aerial fights with other birds, especially ospreys, over food.
In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin advocated for the wild turkey as the nation's symbol instead of the bald eagle because he didn't think the eagle's thieving tendencies would represent the fledgling country well, Callahan said.
"Good thing that was not chosen, or we would be eating our national bird," he said of the holiday favorite.
Callahan, who lives in Newburg, said that in the late 1970s, there were five known active nests in Charles County. By 2000, that number had grown to 60, and "I'm sure they're way above that now," he said.
Bald eagles are prevalent throughout Southern Maryland. Charles has the second highest population (behind Dorchester County on the Eastern Shore) in the state, Callahan said. The swaths of undeveloped or underdeveloped land along the shorelines in Charles offer ideal spots for eagles to nest.
Meg Nicholas, administrative coordinator at the Accokeek Foundation located on the Potomac, said that there are quite a few bald eagles in the park, which offers good public viewing of the birds. Once, she said, as she spoke with an intern on the property, a dead fish dropped from the sky and landed right next to them. She looked up and saw an eagle soaring away after its fumble.
Brandon Burton, site manager at the foundation, said that eagles can often be found near Bull's Cove, just south of the park's boat dock. They are also usually relatively easy to find in neighboring Piscataway Park, especially near the boardwalk.
The bald eagle was added to the U.S. list of endangered species on March 11, 1967. It stayed on that list for 40 years.
Thanks to the banning of DDT and better protection of eagle habitats, which are mainly along shorelines, bald eagles have made nothing short of a miraculous comeback, according to the Fish and Wildlife Service.
The Chesapeake Bay region put into effect its own plan to help the eagles in 1982, with revisions made in 1990. That plan called for protections to existing nests as well as foraging and roosting habitats.
Nests were to be monitored, and a public education program was put into effect to make sure people knew not to disturb or hurt the eagles.
The birds were "delisted" from the endangered species list in 2007, although they are still protected under several other laws, including the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act of 1940 and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The Lacey Act of 1900 offers protections to bald eagles, including making it illegal to possess, transport, sell, import or export bald eagle parts, nests or eggs.
In 2007, a St. Mary's man shot and killed a bald eagle from his back porch. At the time, he said he thought he was shooting at a vulture. The Bushwood resident pleaded guilty in federal court and was fined $2,500 and placed on probation.
There have been few, if any, other violations in Southern Maryland associated with bald eagles over the last decade.
Bob Boxwell, executive director of Cove Point Natural Heritage Trust in Calvert County, said people enjoy seeing eagles in the area. Boxwell said he most often spots the birds during winter, with particularly high activity in areas around Herring Creek and Parker's Creek.
"Once the osprey show up [in March], the eagles kind of vanish into the forest," Boxwell said. "They're outnumbered."
Not all bald eagles migrate, including many that nest in this region. They may "bounce around" the region to look for food now and again, but they generally stay in the area, Therres said.

In addition to the resident eagles, the lands around the Chesapeake Bay offer temporary homes to migratory eagles from both south and north during certain seasons.
John Attebury of Lusby has tried from his plane to catch glimpses and images of eagles that nest around Calvert Cliffs overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. It's not an easy feat, he said, adding that he takes a door off his small two-seater plane to get a more panoramic view.
Once, an eagle looked like it was heading right into the side of his plane, he said. Eagles can have up to 7-foot wingspans and weigh as much as 14 pounds.
"He threw his wings out to put on the brakes. It was just a gorgeous view," Attebury said.

All along the MKT Trail you will find wayside benches bearing the names of well-loved people from the Columbia area. While the fact that their families and friends sponsored these memorial benches tell us they are remembered, the stories behind the names are less-well known. Welcome to "Voices from the Past."
As you walk the MKT Trail, take note of the many benches that provide rest stops for walkers, runners and cyclists. These benches were placed along the trail in memory of persons whose names are etched on them.
Behind each name is a story that the friends or families who sponsored the bench want to share with you. At the same time, RJI Fellow and Missouri School of Journalism Associate Professor Clyde Bentley was looking for ways to test the use of mobile phones to provide information to the public.
Three undergraduate students from the Journalism School - Ryan Huber, Rachel Moten and Jashin Lin - researched the lives of those memorialized on MKT Trail benches and interviewed their families and friends. They created audio feature stories for a selection of the benches and placed the recordings on the Guide by Cell computer system.
Special signed mark the benches that offer stories. To hear the story, call (573) 303-9003 and then push the number for story as indicated on the sign. You will hear the story of the person named on the bench, including recorded comments from family and friends.
While it is hoped that "Voices from the Past" is fun for you, it is also part of an important research project. Please help the researchers out by pressing 0# after the story, so that you can leave your comments about the project.

|I cannot attend
due to living some 1200 miles from Ann Arbor. So take this request FWIW:
For anyone for whom attending would not be crippling from a financial or temporal standpoint,please do what you can to attend. Now is the time for the collective fanbase to put its money (and time) where its mouth has been for the last two months. Yes, the coaches still patrol the sidelines, but I can think of no better way to show that the invective was directed at the administration, not the players, than to pack Michigan Stadium tomorrow. Wear maize, get there early, watch the pre-game, sing the Victors at the top of your lungs, and be loud as hell.
I have to believe the players themselves would take some inspiration from seeing a nearly-full stadium (especially the student section) during pre-game. Whether that inspiration will be enough to counter the (in)effectiveness of the coaching staff is uncertain, but it's got to be better than a tent stake.
I also have a request for Mr. Hackett (who I'm certain has plenty of time to read the blog this afternoon): This strikes me as the perfect moment to kill the rawk music. Kill it dead. Do it tomorrow. I'm sure you've been attending Michigan games for decades, and you must know how much it changes the experience. If you do nothing else in your interim tenure, this act alone would stake your claim as one of the greatest ADs in history. (That last sentence is /s, but only slightly).

|Miles rumors
At a holiday party in 2007, a gorup of 4 guys were discussing Miles. Each claimed to have an "inside source" that had revealed what it was Miles did to piss everyone off. Each of these guys is a Michigan alum living in AA with means to have access to/run in the same circles as UM higher-ups and/or AD personnel. Each had a completely different story as to what Miles did. The above-referenced rumor was one of them, but the others were completely unrelated. That particular rumor has certainly bounced around more than others over the years, but IMHO that is as attributable to that rumor's salaciousness as to its potential truthfulness.
I accepted at that point I would never know the real story. If Martin didn't reach out to Miles, there is a very limited group of people (Martin himself, perhaps Carr or MSC) who really know why. Unless you hear it direct from them, I wouldn't put any stock in it. Even if Brian or Bacon wrote a book about it, I'd take the info with a grain of salt unless it was backed with quotes from one or more of that small group, and the source(s) later stood by the quotes. And that ain't gonna happen.

Rumor has it his scalding finish to the season has him focused entirely on prepping for the MLS draft. Don't expect any further appearances in the winged helmet. Obviously, good for him, but a downer for those hoping he might be the answer to our kicking woes on Jan. 1 or beyond.
|4 years 40 weeks ago
|Thanks for this thread
I agree wholeheartedly. And it did have a significant impact on the game. First, the TD KO return was caused in large part by a low, short kick -- not sure if Hagerup would have done better, but he's been handling KOs the last few weeks for a reason. As soon as he caught the ball on the 15 without a coverage guy in sight, you knew it was trouble. The shanked punt had a big impact as well. All in all, it provided a nice teaching moment for my son (who I had "suspended" during our backyard football game yesterday for, let's just say, unsportsmanlike conduct).
One of the reasons I love Michigan (in addition to being a brainwashed lifelong fan and alum) is that we do things the right way. And it gives me confidence that our AD will make what I believe to be the right decision in retaining RR. In many places (cough, East Lansing, cough), a coach might have felt the need to bow to the UNACCEPTABLE crowd in order to keep his job, or at the very least felt that his AD wouldn't care about the shoddy discipline so long as the product on the field was good. At Michigan, it's the opposite -- I believe the coach knows that letting a player play despite the rules violation would be a bigger black mark in the AD's book than the blowout loss.

Watching this for the umpteenth time, I noticed something about Dorrestein that I didn't in any of the umpteen times I looked at the original picture pages or the non-captioned video. Dorrestein does not get "caught up in the wash" -- he affirmatively releases from the DE and turns toward the playside guys that are being pushed toward him (about 2:05). Almost like he was coached to do it. This struck me as odd, given that we've seen Omameh and Lewan repeatedly hopping on such donkeys and whipping them senseless. I never knew nothin' about OL play, but isn't the fix for this to simply continue pushing the guy in the general direction he wants to go, i.e., angled downfield? If Dorrestein had done so, the guy wouldn't have gotten to the play side either (a) as quickly or (b) only 7 yards downfield or (c) possibly not at all if Dorrestein had enough push and knocked him off his feet. Denard would've been well to the outside and presumably beyond his reach by that point.

|#22's read
Another difference (and the reason I don't think it would've mattered which slot was in on play 1) -- in play 1, he's immediately dropping into his deep half, which gives him the time and depth he needs to avoid the block and catch Denard on the angle. In play 2, he actually steps forward on the snap, so when he starts on his angle he gets caught up in the wash. I wonder if he got bitched out on play 1 for bailing so quick and thus being unable to catch Denard until 40 yards downfield, so when play 2 came up he's thinking, "Oh man, I gotta get upfield ASAP!"
Also, Te'o was blitzing on play 1, which meant that Omameh had to take him at the LOS, rather than getting on him five yards downfield and pushing him back.

Interesting how he says he can't protect Crist more, and has to keep the zone read in the play call rotation, "because of the spread offense." I'm sure there's a segment of the domer population spouting off about how real coaches adapt their scheme to fit their personnel. Particularly since I'm fairly certain that Crist's injury happened on a zone read keeper (he got mashed in the right side of the head by (I think) Mouton at the end of the play). Hopefully, that segment is more powerful than the similar subset of Michigan fans, and Kelly gets run out of town before he gets a chance to get his own Denard coached up and on the field.

|The most amazing thing
I'm thinking back on the last two games, and I don't remember a single pass in which I said, "Whew, we're lucky that wasn't picked off." Seems like his incompletions have either been drops, throwaways, or killing Roy Roundtree. I attribute it to the coaching -- they are either drawing up plays in which there is always a first or second read that cannot be doubled, or Denard is uber-prepared for these coverages through film work, or Denard has been drilled so thoroughly on ball security that he will always take off rather than try to force it in.

That quote is attributed to none other than George W. Bush. How the heck did he know about Tacopants before any of the rest of us did?

I am so sick of coming to this board the Monday after a big win and what do we get? Another transfer!?! How many of these guys is RR going to run off before we're left with Denard, Molk, and 18 guys who aspire to be Kovacs? But then again, having re-read the original post, I see there's no link. What's your source, OP (or should I say, Melanie Collins)? Have you actually talked to Taco? I won't believe Taco's really gone until TomVH has gotten confirmation from Taco's dad (first name Nacho, I believe -- or is that our new OL recruit? Tough to keep it all straight).

Consider my Sparty bro-in-law. I couldn't watch the game live, so had my phone off for radio silence purposes. After I watched the game last night, I turned my phone back on. There's a text from the aforementioned SBIL, to the effect of "look at the Heisman candidate caving like a little girl at the first sign of adversity!!" I'm not sure what prompted the text -- it came in about 5 pm, and I didn't go back to try to figure out what play he was talking about. In all events, I happily replied, asking him if he cared to issue a retraction. To his credit, he acknowledged that he had a large helping of crow on his plate.

Thanks as always for the work. Two nitpicks -- in your substitution intro, you mention Mike Williams coming in. Perhaps you had the duck/juice thing on your brain, but don't you mean Mike Jones? Second, I think Obi deserved more credit on the fumble recovery -- he took on two blockers (allowing Floyd to be a free hitter), but still did not get knocked off his feet, which ultimately meant he was in position to make the recovery.

In all of its forms (tomato sauce and juice, e.g., as well as raw), the tomato is the second most widely consumed vegetable in the U.S., after the potato.
And you thought you were just going to learn about a better tomato juice!
Health & Nutrition
Far from being poisonous, tomatoes contain the antioxidant lycopene, which studies continue to show seems to have an ability to reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Tomatoes also contain the antioxidants vitamin C and carotenoids (including beta carotene), which are believed to provide protection from free radicals that cause premature aging, cancer, heart disease and cataracts.
Tomatoes are low in calories, about 35 for a medium tomato, but proportionately high in sugar—a corresponding 8 grams. Its juice is naturally low in sodium (one cup has 1% of your daily value) and zero fat. It is also a good source of copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, niacin, pantothenic acid, thiamin and vitamin K; and a very good source of folate, potassium, and vitamins A, B6 and C.

Black Diamond's FlipLock Pro system allows for quick easy adjustments and security. Large baskets and lightweight materials keep you moving quick through deep snow, and Black Diamond even designed a grip specifically for the gram-counters, to keep things light.
- 16mm aluminum upper—18mm aluminum lower
- Touring Series grip with fluted interior
- Touring Series strap with lightweight webbing and ladder-lock buckle
- Lightweight grip extension
- 100mm powder basket

not what they used to be
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I loved the old Silver anodized traverse pole, nearly indestructible, I still have a pair that is 15(?) years old. Then a few years ago in an attempt to shed weight BD decreased the diameter of the Traverse and brought out the Gold anodized version. Nice and light, though not quite as tough, I bent several lower sections over a few years.
This latest dark anodized version (pictured here) is weaker still. Maybe a lower grade alloy? The lowers have been bending regularly for me, and I snapped my first lower section ever this year, it broke very easily.
The traverse still has the best lock mechanism in the business, imho. But, I can't recommend these newer/weaker poles above any others on the market, which is a bummer.
They still do the job, but not the highly reliable backcountry gear they were a few years ago
Diameter of Poles: Black diamond website: 16 mm (.63 in) aluminum upper with 14 mm (.55 in) aluminum lower for The Black Diamond Traverse 2015. They should of made them with 18 mm upper and 16 mm lower. Good Review in a nutshell.
Way better than expected
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Before I bought these, I already had some bad experiences with adjustable trekking/skiing poles. I admit I've never paid much for them, but they did not hold up even to their value, so I stuck with regular skiing poles for some time, but then I started to tour more, and I started to look back at adjustable poles again. I believe BD makes pretty much the same poles with 2 adjustment points, but I decided that a single point should make them more durable. Durability is always my first concern. Anyways, I took them with me everywhere this winter, skiing both in resorts and backcountry. I am happy to report that they're alive and well. Fliplock worked great, never got frozen. They do scratch pretty easily, so their pretty look fades away rather quick, but I guess it is just a matter of what one likes. I like them scratched :)
+ Durable,
+ Fliplock does not freeze
+ Great powder baskets
+ Pole's tip is *NOT* mounted on some plastic, so no need to worry about breaking it by using your ski pole to change binding's mode
- None observed.

The big powder baskets on these are great for even the deepest of days in the Wasatch
Reed Debus
Good Poles
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
How many times have you ever thought "Man I totally would have skied that, but my ski poles were slowing me down." Me neither. But if you ever did these would be the poles for you. Love the adjustable-ness and the powder baskets.
Sean Zimmerman-Wall
Good value and construction
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have been ski touring with BD Traverses for many years and just upgraded to the latest model. I have been happy with the new Flic-loc system as they are not that prone to icing. The swing weight is excellent and the powder basket is great on the deep days. I like the shaft grip on this model better than previous models since it doesn't slip as much on really cold days. I am happy to report that they seem to hold up just as well as my older models even after several long tours. These are an all around solid backcountry skiing or trekking pole.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These are great for touring, solid, and easy to use. I also happen to think they are a lovely shade of orange, easily sorted out in the back of the truck and fished out of the snow. These were purchased for my husband, and have seen a few years use, mine are a few years older and adjust like they are brand new. Wrist straps are easy to use, too.
Mendi and Sydney Yoshikawa
Great Adjusting Trekking Poles
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These poles I got when I desperately needed new poles, we whet to REI to look for poles but they had no poles to choose from. So it was either a pair of $160 smith poles that didn't quite fit or $20 (with $20 off coupon) ugly orange flame poles that will probably grow with me until the day they break (they are really long.). I chose the orange flame poles . I have seen many people over the 4 years I've had these poles have the same poles except like really bent up and stuff, so I don't know how they got theirs that way, but mine minus a few scratches (I got this year from a big crash I had) have been perfect. I do think Black Diamond should change a few things though put out more girly designs so these poles would interest me more to pick them up in the first place and add holes at the top for knuckle guards because I really want to add them but there is no where to put them. Other than that these poles are pretty good. Nothing fancy just plain ski poles.

Goals: The Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) was launched to determine if water-ice exists in a permanently shadowed crater at the Moon's South Pole. LCROSS will excavate the permanently dark floor of a crater with back-to-back impacts. The impacts will create a plume that specialized instruments will be able to analyze for the presence of water (ice and vapor), hydrocarbons and hydrated materials. The spacecraft was launched with the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter mission.
Accomplishments: LCROSS and its Centaur stage impacted the Moon on schedule on 9 Oct. 2009. The twin impacts of LCROSS and a companion rocket stage in the moon's Cabeus crater on Oct. 9, 2009, lifted a plume of material that might not have seen direct sunlight for billions of years. As the plume traveled nearly 10 miles above the rim of Cabeus, instruments aboard LCROSS and LRO made observations of the crater and debris and vapor clouds. After the impacts, grains of mostly pure water ice were lofted into the sunlight in the vacuum of space.
The missions found evidence that the lunar soil within shadowy craters is rich in useful materials, and the moon is chemically active and has a water cycle. Scientists also confirmed the water was in the form of mostly pure ice crystals in some places.

MUST HAVE NUDE LIP. I absolutely Love this lip Color it is by far one of my favorite Colors to achieve the perfect nude lip. I like to pair this lipstick with MAC lipgloss in underage, if you have a similar skintone as me this is a must have for any season :)
I absolutely love this lip color its matte which is great because this is a red shade and trust me you'll get tons of attention with this one no need for any gloss... anytime I wear this I get asked what is that color!!! bottom line this Red is for you and me it loves every and any skin tone!!
All my mac lipsticks are great, but if your looking for a classic, sexy, pin-up-esc lip, look no further than Ruby Woo. It stays on forever, and with a matching red liner makes your pout look as good as marilyn!
I love this lipstick. It's a blackish-purple shade which I personally think looks lovely on darker skinned ladies. This is my go to fall lipstick! I just think darker toned purples look better on my lips rather than bright (like Rebel). You've got to try this out. Most people are skeptical at first due to how dark it is but trust it looks gorgeous. I would personally recommend not adding a gloss on top because this color looks gorgeous on its own. xx
Can we say unique? You'll definitely stand out because this is a lavender/violet type of color which is not common. That is what I love about it. If you have a neutral eye and you let this be the statement maker, then you'll like it.
Cyber is a very edgy fierce blacken purple. Personally I feel this is a lipstick for a fashion show or for someone who is on the fearless rebellious side of life . Anyone can pull this off with the right amount of confidence even though its very bold.Cyber also gives the whiter teeth effect which is also a plus. But if your like me who has this color but want to make it wearable for everyday use just mix it with a nyx jumbo eyeshadow base in milk to make a pretty lavender lip color . The pic is cyber mixed with the nyx jumbo eyeshadow base in milk.
Perfect red lipstick! Suits on any skin tone. Must wear this if you wanna stand out in the crowd or look classy pin up. Very matte! No need to put another coat every hour or so, very long lasting even if i drink, eat or whatever it's still there. But you'll definitely should wear a lip balm under.
A must have! love love love <3
Shalimar,xoxo ❤
So I grew up thinking that BLACK women are not allowed to wear red. No, let me rephrase that, I grew up trained that DARK SKINNED BLACK WOMEN are forbidden from wearing RED LIPSTICK. If you, DARK BLACK SKINNED WOMAN, dared to cross that line then you were either a prostitute or a no-good ... But, how wrong. I don't know what prompted me to be BOLD and to cross the line, I guess the beauty vanguards were not paying attention, but I did. I wanted red lips to go with a smoky eye. I went to the MAC counter and I asked for red lipstick, I probably whispered it, thinking that I looked foolish. I tried Ruby Woo and Russian Red. Both of them, I love and love. Also, let me say that if you are into pin-up looks, Ruby woo is that perfect matte red that you need for such a look. It definitely is a blue undertone lipstick that will compliment your dark skin in so many lovely ways. If you have never tried any red lipstick, please let Ruby Woo turn you from a red lipstick virgin into a red lip VIXEN. If you find that it is matte, you can apply a gloss over it. If you think i like it but, it's still to red, please use a darker lipliner, such as: vino, burgindy, or nightmoth by MAC.
This is the best pruple lipstick I've ever seen and it looks good too. The only negative thing I was unaware of the reel lipstick collection coming out so i had to get it on ebay :(, but overall the lipstick his hot!!!!

What Makes Us Moo
Here at MooGoo, we know that when it comes to your skin, the steaks are high. So, we hope you don't mind us bragging about the fact that we're an Australian company with an entire range of natural and safe products that are made with effective ingredients designed for people with skin and scalp problems
MooGoo came about when the head of our herd thought it was unusual that his mother was using a product made for cows to heal her skin condition. This udder cream was designed to heal cows udders and keep them in prime condition for milking, whilst being full of skin repair ingredients. However it was very thick to apply. So he set about to make this cow cream fit for human consumption and much lighter and non-greasy.
We have now moved on to greener pastures, expanding our range of skin products to help with a multitude of skin and scalp problems. However, we have kept the same philosophy about our products. That is using the full strength of healing products and not using any ingredients that we have a beef with, such as petroleum or chemical based ingredients. MooGoo has a skim-free policy when it comes to listing our ingredients, we tell you about everything, not just the pretty sounding and "active" ones.
Every product we have was made for our own use or for friends or family. We add the full concentration of ingredients we know are needed to help the skin or the scalp. MooGoo does not use gimmick ingredients and marketing, or cheap filling ingredients.
Watch this vid to see how some moisturisers are made!

Why We Don't Use Paraffin Oil in Skin Care
Almost half the population of Australia is now affected by some sort of skin problem. (1999 survey, St Vincent's Hospital). The number of people with eczema has doubled every decade since petroleum based detergents became commonly used for washing and Paraffin Oil (also petroleum based) became the dominant oil used in skin care. Read More...
Did you know that not all ingredients need to be shown on the label?
If the ingredients start off reading like a medieval love potion, chances are the real ingredients are submerged somewhere in the middle.
When water and natural edible oils are combined in skin care products, ingredients are needed to keep them fresh. If there are no preservation ingredients shown on the label, then the product will become contaminated with bacteria very quickly, just like any food. The bacteria cannot be seen or smelt. A poorly preserved cream can cause serious skin infection and eye damage if used on the face. Grapefruit Seed Extract and Essential Oils have been proven many times to be unreliable methods of keeping products free from bacteria.
In our opinion, a tiny amount of an effective preservative is much safer on the skin than a large amount of bacteria.
Note: MooGoo creams have been independently tested to ensure they remain pure and uncontaminated for at least two years. when stored below 30 Degrees Celsius.This is a called a "Challenge Test. It is not a compulsory test in Australia. Read More...
Who Checks the Accuracy of Labels?
Although label guidelines state that ingredients should be listed in order of weight, this is not well enforced in Australia. Most most people do not realize that the cosmetic industry does not have inspectors checking the accuracy of ingredient listed. Read More...
Natural Ingredients and Allergies - Patch Test Your Products!
Many people are allergic to fruits, nuts, milk and other natural ingredients. Virtually nobody is allergic to Cola. This does not mean that Cola is good for our health and fruit is bad. The reason is that our bodies have not had the time to develop the wrong immune response (develop an allergy) to synthetic ingredients.
If you are prone to allergies, patch test all natural products on a small area of skin first. Once this is done, natural products are generally much better for health in our opinion.
Researching Your Ingredients - Websites claiming the ocean is toxic to our skin?!
According to some websites, Sodium Chloride is a dangerous chemical in skin care.
This website has statements such as "Sodium Chloride - Positive mutation assay: Mutation in Mammalian Somatic Cells (mouse oth)." (Link)
It may seem after reading this "Cosmetic Database" and others that are similiar, that manufacturers are out to harm us with their products by using Sodium Chloride. But Sodium Chloride is just sea salt. We happily swim in the ocean which is full of Sodium Chloride and even EAT it. Read More...
Why do Many Washing Products Irritate? Even those labelled "For Sensitive Skin" or Eczema?
Why do we see Sodium Laureth Sulphate in almost all commercial washing products, despite its high skin irritation score? This includes most pharmacy products labeled for 'Sensitive Skin' or Eczema. The answer is it is the cheapest, and it can be warehoused for years.Read More...
Some Pesticide To Soothe Your Scalp?
We encourage anyone using so-called "scalp care" products to do some research on the products' main active ingredient called Zinc Pyrithione. There are Government warning for workers using this ingredient as the active ingredient in anti-fouling boat paints and pesticides, yet it is also the active in many "Scalp Care" shampoos. Read More...
"Faux Organic"
"My shampoo ingredients look more like salad..."
Water is a "Certified Organic" ingredient under most schemes. If 75% of the formulation is water, then a "Certified Organic" product is achieved before any other ingredients are even added. Organically grown ingredients are a very small percentage of the total formulation and not enough to make a difference, except to price. Recent surveys have found only a few products have genuine independent organic accreditation. Read More...
Does High Price = Quality
"I Simply Won't Buy a Cream For Less Than $150" : It is tempting to believe that when spending more on skincare products, we are taking "better care" of our skin.
To some extent this is true. There are many cheap creams that are of very poor quality. However, there is also a marketing strategy of pricing creams expensively for no reason other than to increase sales to the high end market. Most people are not cosmetic chemists, and so really do not know what the ingredients are, and so will pay more in the hope it is better. Read More...

Three people have been found, Tuesday morning, after officials say they got lost and stuck in a trench.
According to officials three surveyors, from Canton, had been in a wooded area between Clarington and Beallsville, when they went into a trench and couldn't climb back out of it. Officials from a dozen different departments spent over six hours searching for them.
One of the three did suffer from non-life threating injuries and was taking to Wheeling hospital to be checked out.
The names of the two female and male lost are not being released at this time.

Summer Study Abroad Programs
Whether it's an academic requirement, a personal challenge, a career requirement, or indeed just for fun, learning a foreign language has never been more crucial and whilst study aids such as books and CD-ROMs are useful, they don't have quite the same effect as the Eurolingua Institute!
The chances are you've come across a plethora of organisations offering foreign language courses, but we'll guarantee that none of them take the same unique and successful approach to teaching as we do. Our years of experience of teaching foreign languages has taught us that the best way for any student to study a foreign language is to study in the country where the language in question is the native tongue. So as you can imagine, with every language from Dutch to Ukrainian being included in our extensive range of courses, we have some very exciting learning and cultural experiences to offer students of all ages and backgrounds.
If you fancy a study English abroad programme, be it in Malta or New Zealand, you can guarantee that the venues and programmes we offer are light years away from those offered by our rivals. It's worth stressing that our courses are not aimed at a specific age group, indeed we welcome students from 16-75 and everyone who attends will find our teaching methods conducive to their way of thinking. Learning the Eurolingua way will provide everyone the opportunity to add a foreign language to their list of skills, so come and join us.
A Wealth Of Foreign Language School Course Options
Here at the Eurolingua Institute we appreciate that everyone responds to different environments and this is reflected in the different styles of study programmes which we offer. For those who flourish as part of an interactive team, our group language programmes are absolutely ideal and with a native teacher at the helm, these language school based courses aim for fluency in record time. Or if you're a student looking for a study programme of a more personal nature then we wholeheartedly recommend our unique one to one language homestay programme.
This style of course provides total immersion into the language you've chosen to study and being that you'll be staying in the tutor's own home you'll be pretty much eating and sleeping your new second choice language! Not only are these courses incredibly effective, but as participants on our summer study abroad program will discover, they are great fun too! We can guarantee you'll be amazed at how quickly your foreign language skills develop using our modern communicative methods and being as you're listening to a native speaker each day, your accent will be perfect!
The courses we run are of great benefit to people from all walks of life and for those looking to pursue a career, our TEFL/TESOL and hospitality based programmes are particularly beneficial. Once you've looked at all your options we're confident you'll find our range of comprehensive courses perfect for your study needs and we'll be delighted to welcome you at your earliest convenience.
A Truly Worldwide Foreign Language Study Experience
No matter what your country of origin may be and regardless of your background, we positively encourage you to join us at the Eurolingua Institute for the foreign language experience of a lifetime. Every one of our courses offers students the chance to combine language study and a cultural experience that is ultimately rewarding beyond your dreams. From complete beginners to those looking to brush up on a particular language, we have something to offer students at all levels and you might be interested to hear that you can add to those all important American college credits by enrolling on one of our courses.
We have dedicated courses available at locations throughout the world and whether you want to study abroad in France, or join a homestay programme in Ireland, the world is simply your oyster. When we say we're a worldwide language institution we're not joking, with over 70 schools in the likes of The Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, we aim to offer the complete foreign language experience.
Learning should be fun and with our courses you'll find a combination of fun and practical study provides the perfect platform for fluency in all the languages that we teach. And naturally, fluency is what we aim for with all of our students and anyone who enrols with us can rest assured that we'll be with you every step of the way in your quest to speak the likes of German and Japanese just like a native.
Learning Popular Languages And Cultures
Our much lauded courses are firm favourites amongst individuals, educational establishments and private businesses alike and when you partake yourself it'll soon become apparent why we're regarded as one of the leading exponents of foreign language courses. Whether you choose to enrol on one of our excellent homestay programmes, or choose a course based in a more traditional classroom environment, learning Spanish and Italian will be a breeze.
Choosing to study abroad in Europe brings with it many advantages, not least the chance to study in what are commonly regarded as some of the world's finest cultures and centres of learning. Think of European culture and the French language instantly springs to mind and when you join us at our language school in Montpellier, we'll take you on a journey which will not only leave you speaking like a French national, but thinking like one as well. Regardless of which course you opt for, our intention is to completely immerse our students in the country and culture where the course takes place and as most past students agree, this helps their understanding of the language in question no end.
Many languages are of course spoken by multiple nations, which does of course broaden your study horizons. For instance, when it comes to learning Portuguese, not only can you attend a language school in Portugal itself, but you can also partake of a simply wonderful homestay programme in Brazil! By joining us you're learning far more than a foreign language.
Foreign Languages Courses Made Irresistible
Foreign languages are becoming increasingly important, when it comes to securing a premium career move having at least one European language 'under your belt' certainly won't do your prospects of being hired any harm at all! Our unique hospitality internships offer students the chance to gain vital work experience in a 'foreign' environment and as most offer food and accommodation as part of the deal; this has to be overseas study at its very finest.
As a study abroad agency of some repute we only recruit the very finest tutors to run our courses and this is reflected in our ability to make even a language novice into a fluent speaker. From one to one tuition, to manageable classes, anyone who attends one of our courses is guaranteed to receive all the attention they deserve and when you take into account the comparatively affordable prices of our academic courses and homestay programmes, students can't really go wrong.
As an institution we firmly believe that total immersion is by far and away the best way to learn a foreign language and you will find all of our courses are created with this in mind. And after all what better way is there to learn Japanese than by attending an accredited language school in the culture filled and ever beautiful Fukuoka City? Our mission at Eurolingua is simple; we aim to turn all our students into fluent speakers and at the same time open their eyes to our culturally diverse world.
Learning A Foreign Language Made Easy
For all those who are interested in learning something other than their mother tongue, our courses are absolutely ideal and we're confident that our methods are by far and away the most productive way to learn a new language.
With study opportunities available in stunning locations like South Africa, Europe, USA, South America, Australia and even The Caribbean, you can combine all encompassing study whilst at the same time enjoying everything that the host country has to offer. We urge all budding students out there not to be duped by some of the less reputable institutions and only use the services of a study abroad agent, like ourselves, who take immense pride in turning students into proficient speakers of such languages as English, French, Italian and Spanish. Regardless of how basic your knowledge may be at present, our skilled tutors will make your chosen language accessible in a short space of time.
Enrolling on any of our programmes couldn't be easier, simply fill out the online application form and we'll book your place on what we feel are the most comprehensive language courses available today. Our record speaks for itself and we'd feel privileged if you'd join us at some point and our dedicated team will show the beauty of learning another language with our esteemed institution. It's also worth remembering that all of our courses can be tailor-made to suit to needs of specific groups, after all where foreign languages are concerned we understand students have different expectations.

About us
The Department of Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases coordinates and supports policies and strategies to enhance global access to interventions for the prevention, control, elimination and eradication of neglected tropical diseases, including some zoonotic diseases.
What do we do
Consistent with World Health Assembly resolutions and in line with WHO's roadmap for neglected tropical diseases [pdf 1.2Mb], we support Member States to overcome the global impact of these diseases by accelerating access to prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care interventions for all those in need.
Neglected tropical diseases are a medically diverse group of infections caused by a variety of pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, protozoa and helminths. The 17 neglected tropical diseases prioritized by WHO affect more than 1 billion people worldwide and are endemic in 149 countries.
Why we work
Neglected tropical diseases cause immense human suffering and death. They pose a devastating obstacle to healthand remain a serious impediment to poverty reduction and overall socioeconomic development.
How we improve access to health
Universal coverage against neglected tropical diseases depends to a large extent on enhanced access to free essential medicines and on stronger, well-planned, financially sound and efficient health systems.
Through a well-trained and motivated work force at country level, we aim to prioritize the public health needs of poor and marginalized populations. We provide technical and strategic guidance in key areas, coordinate the distribution of donated medicines, promote WHO's role in partnership involvement, strengthen capacity in countries endemic for these diseases, and leverage the contribution of stakeholders to the elimination and eradication of neglected tropical diseases.
We deliver interventions through appropriate technology at sustainable cost and with the help of international partners we support Member States in the coordination and integration of national control programmes with the cooperation of sectors such as education, agriculture and veterinary public health.
Our approach
Our approach to tackling neglected tropical diseases builds on five public-health strategies:
- preventive chemotherapy – the large-scale delivery of free and safe, single-dose, quality-assured medicines, either alone or in combination, at regular intervals to treat selected diseases;
- innovative and intensified disease management – the management of diseases that are difficult to diagnose and treat and which can, in most cases, trigger severe clinical manifestations and complications;
- vector control and pesticide management – the safe and judicious management of public-health pesticides to achieve vector control through integrated vector management;
- safe drinking-water, basic sanitation and hygiene services, and education – the prioritization of improved sanitation combined with delivering preventive chemotherapy and health education to sustain reductions in prevalence of many of these diseases;
- zoonotic disease management – the application of veterinary sciences and interventions to protect and improve human health (also referred to as veterinary public-health).
Although one approach may predominate for the control of a specific disease or group of diseases, effective control results when several approaches are combined and delivered locally.
Of the 17 neglected tropical diseases, two are targeted for eradication – dracunculiasis (guinea-worm disease) and yaws and four for elimination (blinding trachoma, human African trypanosomiasis, leprosy and lymphatic filariasis).

Central Florida Families can enjoy the Orlando Science Center for $5/person
Walmart Foundation $5 Day Returns on Sunday, March 14 only - 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
ORLANDO, FL - (March 9, 2010) - The next "Walmart Foundation $5 Day" at the Orlando Science Center will be Sunday, March 14. Thanks to the generous support of the Walmart Foundation, all guests to the Science Center on that day will enjoy exhibits, films and live programs for the significantly discounted price of $5. General admission fees are usually $17 for adults and $12 for kids (ages 3-11).
"Walmart Foundation and Walmart Stores continually look for opportunities to give back locally," said Steven Daniel, Walmart Market Manager for Central Florida. "We have been very pleased with the response of the last two Walmart Foundation $5 Days at the Orlando Science Center. The previous events provided families with a full day of engaging fun at a greatly reduced price. These are the types of community programs we are proud to sponsor for our Central Florida neighbors."
During this day of reduced admission prices, guests can enjoy the newly arrived Frogs, an exhibit featuring over 80 live frogs and toads representing 20 species from around the world.

Guests can continue their day of exploration with Science in Toyland, where they can use classic toys to learn scientific principles. Visitors will also be able to enjoy exhibits like the hurricane simulator in Science Park, the orange grove in KidsTown, and the live reptiles on display in NatureWorks.
"We have really enjoyed participating in Walmart Foundation $5 Days. The attendance at the earlier two events has been incredible. More than 4,000 people came out each time to the Orlando Science Center to explore and discover together," said JoAnn Newman, president and CEO of the Science Center. "Walmart Stores are a very generous community partner that enables us to make this special offer possible."
In addition to touring exhibits, guests can venture into the Dr. Phillips CineDome and witness the breathtaking visuals being projected on the massive eight-story screen.

There are three major benefits to be derived from log and event management solutions (sometimes referred to as SIEM, security information and event management). In the first case, these solutions provide real-time identification and alerting against external and internal security threats. Secondly, they provide compliance monitoring and reporting and, thirdly, they offer forensic environments for root cause analysis and fraud detection.
There are a large number of log and event management solutions within the market—more than 20—and they by no means all offer comparable capabilities. The sorts of features to look for include: integration, real-time analysis, forensics and compliance monitoring, infrastructure, performance and scalability.

Congratulations — you've found your dream dress for the upcoming party season! Now comes the bummer... what the eff do you wear under it? While we'd all like to look like we were born with our dresses on, panty lines, exposed bras, and our own protruding bits and bumps are always insistent on making their own debuts. That's why we're particularly grateful for the fine people out there creating shapewear and underthings that manage to help our bodies defy gravity, HD cameras, and that extra (three) helpings of pasta from the night before.
