Komodo dragon, 5 other reptiles die in fire at San Antonio Zoo
SAN ANTONIO — Officials at the San Antonio Zoo will have to raise at least $100,000 to rebuild the enclosure damaged by a Monday fire that killed a Komodo dragon and five other reptiles.
The zoo's female Komodo dragon, Scatha, and the other animals died of smoke inhalation during the early-morning fire, authorities said.
A hot mat, which the zoo's Komodo dragons lie on to keep warm, shorted because of a problem with a fuse or breaker box, zoo Director Steve McCusker said.
"It's depressing," he said. "Everybody's got sort of a lump in their stomach."
Scatha, 15, was described as a favorite among zoo staff and guests.
Komodo dragons are the heaviest lizards on Earth, reaching 10 feet in length and more than 300 pounds. Their life span exceeds 30 years.
The lizards will eat other animals — live or carrion — including deer, pigs, smaller dragons, water buffalo and humans, according to National Geographic. In zoos, they are fed rodents, rabbits and other meat, in addition to eggs.
Anything bitten by a Komodo dragon usually dies of blood poisoning within 24 hours, according to National Geographic. Just four years ago, researchers determined that the animals produce venom in addition to the deadly bacterial strains found in their mouths.
ProFauna Indonesia chairman Rosek Nursahid told Indonesian news outlets in 2009 that a baby Komodo dragon could cost 40 million Indonesian rupiahs, or $4,400. Other news reports have put the black market cost as high as $30,000.
Zoo officials said Monday that they were planning to get a replacement Komodo dragon but did not have an initial estimate of how much it would cost.
Officials continued working late Monday to determine whether the electrical problem that caused Scatha's death originated in the hot mat or in a wall, traveling down wires to short out the mat, zoo spokeswoman Debbie Rios-Vanskike said.
There were no large flames, but the building filled with smoke, McCusker said. The Fire Department extinguished the small blaze in 10 to 15 minutes, he said.
McCusker said a reptile keeper smelled smoke in the two-story enclosure around 6 a.m. and began evacuating the animals. Zookeepers were able to evacuate the male Komodo dragon, Bubba, 20, from the first floor. Scatha was already dead, officials said.
The zoo also lost two Amazon tree boas, two Solomon skink lizards and a Red Mountain racer snake, officials said. They were all kept on the second floor of the building, and all died of smoke inhalation.
Zoo officials said 92 other reptiles, kept on the second floor of the enclosure for research and breeding purposes, were moved into other holding areas during the fire. One of the reptiles was a reticulated python.
McCusker estimated that the smoke damage would cost $100,000 to repair and that the process would take six to eight months.
"It is unfortunate that during the cleanup phase some impressive creatures will be temporarily unavailable for public enjoyment," McCusker said.
The zoo has kept and bred Komodo dragons for at least 15 years after acquiring them from other zoos. Scatha came to the zoo six years ago from the Houston Zoo, Rios-Vanskike said. Visitors came in droves when she and Bubba had babies.
"The Komodo dragon itself is a big draw," Rios-Vanskike said. "People like to see that."
Komodo dragons hail from the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia, according to National Geographic. They lived there for millions of years before humans discovered them about a century ago.
They camouflage themselves while they wait for their prey, springing to bite the other animal. The dragons will follow their prey for miles as the poison takes effect. After the prey is dead, the dragon can eat up to 80 percent of its body weight, according to National Geographic.
Komodo dragon attacks in the wild are rare. Two people were killed from 2007 to 2009, according to an Associated Press report.
In captivity, one of the highest-profile attacks occurred in 2001 when then-San Francisco Chronicle executive editor Phil Bronstein was bitten at the Los Angeles Zoo during a visit with actress Sharon Stone, his wife at the time. Bronstein suffered a serious foot injury but survived.
Komodo dragons are endangered because of a lack of egg-laying females, poaching, human encroachment and natural disasters, according to National Geographic.
The timing of the fire right before Christmas, one of the zoo's biggest days, should not change anything in terms of attendance, Rios-Vanskike said.
When the weather is nice, "a couple thousand" people come to the zoo on Christmas Day, she said.
"This institution has 9,000 animals," she said. "It has 750 species. There's always something you can see."
The zoo's reptile house, which is separate from the Komodo dragon enclosure, was not affected by the fire.
The zoo will have to raise the money to fix the enclosure, but it is also fundraising for giraffes and for its 2014 centennial celebration, Rios-Vanskike said.
Officials are asking for the public's help in dealing with the financial hit.

Difference between revisions of "Kuril Islands"
Revision as of 19:02, 22 May 2013
The Kuril Islands (Russian: Кури́лы, koo-REE-lyh; Japanese: Chishima Islands, 千島列島, Chishima Rettō), are a chain of islands in the Russian Far East, located directly to the north of Japan and east of Sakhalin.
Other destinations
Though still claimed by their former owner, Japan, the Kuriles are now thoroughly Russian, sparsely populated and poor. Most locals make their living fishing in the island chain's abundant waters. The chain's most populated island is Kunashir, centered on Yuzhno-Kurilsk, but its smaller administrative capital Kurilsk is located on the biggest island, Iturup.
As with much of Russia, Russian is the predominant language, some Japanese is spoken as well.
Get in
The largest nearby Russian cities with airports are Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to the west on the island of Sakhalin, and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky to the north. The former's airport has flights on domestic carriers to Yuzhno-Kurilsk and Kurilsk.
Travelers going to the Kuril Islands arrive most quickly via plane from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, but it is also possible to take a slower ferry from Sakhalin to Kunashir and on to Iturup.
Get around
Be sure to eat seafood in the Kurils, as the fishing in this part of the North Pacific is considered some of the best in the world. You may well see this seafood available in expensive restaurants around the world offered at prices a hundred times what it will cost to enjoy it here.
Stay safe

Recently I got the chance to operate John Deere's new construction equipment as part of a sponsored media event by John Deere Construction & Forestry. The 2013 lineup, which was officially unveiled at the World of Concrete earlier this year, includes the E-series skid steers and compact track loaders, the G-series compact excavators, and the 644K Hybrid 4WD loader. John Deere will release the mid-frame models later this summer.
All of the models are equipped with brand new, interim Tier 4 or Final Tier 4 engines, required by meet EPA's emissions standards. The cleaner engines cost more to make, so John Deere wrapped in numerous new comfort and performance features in these new series of vehicles to justify the their higher price tag.
John Deere went straight to customers to ask them what they wanted in these new vehicles. Farmers said they wanted a vehicle that was easy to operate without much training, had more capacity than the previous series and required minimal maintenance without much downtime.
We were asked to judge these features for ourselves in the field. John Deere offered up six of its new construction vehicles to drive: the 332 E skid steer, the 329 E and 333 E compact track loaders (CTLs), the 35 G and 50 G excavators and the 644K Hybrid 4WD loader.
Check out this gallery for an in-depth look at my experience, and the equipment we put to work. For more information about the machines in this gallery, visit johndeere.com.

Today there was a short segment on Flemish public radio about a Flemish woman who has been living in Greece for about 15+ years. She is divorced and has 3 children and recently lost her job. With goverment child support and unemployment benefits she will now receive around 500 euro per month for 12 months after which she will no longer receive any unemployment benefits. Right now she has 200+ euro child support per month but there are currently discussions in parliament to eliminate/reduce child support which would mean that she would only get 75-80 euro per month in total with three children.
The electricity bill will be increased by 40%. She and her friends were of the opinion that they had not seen the worst yet and that the situation in Greece is going to get worse. She expected that in january/february of 2013 a great number of people would no longer be able to pay their electricity bill.

Dash Compartment Lid
jon-v8 replied to jon-v8's topic in Ford Focus ClubThanks guys! Chris and Wilco, you are spot on there. Pretty much every breakers I have contacted either don't have any Ghia's/Titanium's in for breaking, or if they do, the lid won't shut. Trying to find just the lid that has a intact catch is very difficult, and as you say are rarely up for sale. The catch in mine is still there, but a tiny piece has broke off of the tip, obviously enough for it to not catch correctly. The previous owner had wedged a small piece of paper in the gap, but I've actually glued it shut now as I got so fed up with it, but as I hate something not working correctly in my car, I want to try and replace it. Top marks for the link, that is genius! I'm going to have to work out how I can fabricate a similar part.
Dash Compartment Lid
jon-v8 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubI need a new stowage compartment/dash lid for my Focus Ghia as part of the catch has snapped off, meaning it randomly pops up whilst driving and I can't close it! I can't find one anywhere, and refuse to pay dealer prices! Does anyone have a spare or know where I can get one at a reasonable price?
jon-v8 started following Focus Roof Bars Part Number Check, Dash Compartment Lid, Drivers Window Juddering When Closing and and 2 others
Drivers Window Juddering When Closing
jon-v8 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubThe drivers side window judders when closing, around the last 6-8 inches of travel. It doesn't continue to clunk or grind once it reaches the top (which would suspect a broken mechanism). I've tried greasing the fabric channels that run up the door's A & B pillars, thinking they maybe dry/brittle, but that hasn't helped. Has anyone else experienced this?
Clean Alloys
jon-v8 replied to focusdriver's topic in Ford Focus ClubI use Autobrite Very Cherry (the non acid version) wheel cleaner. It's fantastic and the level of shine it leaves is brilliant. I've tried pretty much all wheel cleaners and this is by far the best, don't bother with any others! I also use an EZ detail brush (expensive but great quality will last - mines 3 years old and still fine!) with a small detailing brush.
tommy1340millar reacted to a post in a topic: Ford Focus Mk.2 Estate Boot Water Ingress
Another reason I wanted to make sure I had the correct ratings - insurance! I don't want to be caught out just because of that.
To be fair, I could just grab some N rated tyres (Not that I've seen any) - can't legally go faster than 87MPH anyway!
Good call Shane, forgot all about that label - even though I clean the door shuts every time I wash the car! Kurt, thanks for that. I did kind of think the last garage may have a point after posting my question - I think he maybe referring to the top speed and lack of towbar etc. I'll probably stick with the V's, seeing as how they are on there and have passed many MOT's since.
Tyre Load And Speed Ratings?
jon-v8 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubI need to order a new set of tyres for my '56 Plate 2ltr Focus Estate (205/55/16) Just a bit confused on what load and speed rating I should be running. At the moment there are 91V's all round, but some garages are saying I need to be W's, others say stick with V? Another garage said it doesn't matter as no one takes any notice!! (Won't be using them at all!) Can anybody help me on this one?
Thanks very much for that, I really appreciate it. I am a little confused though, as the seller has sent over an image, and they look as though they're the estate version (with the flared bottoms)?
Focus Roof Bars Part Number Check
jon-v8 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubLooking to buy a set of Roof bars for my estate, I've found a set but only have parts numbers and no photos. They are; SK4M5J46002AA HM02E11171290000 Can anyone confirm what body and year they're for? Many thanks!
Denso Sat Nav Cd Dj Error
jon-v8 replied to jon-v8's topic in Ford Focus ClubThanks for the reply. I researched into it, and everyone who says they have that message is because it either doesn't work, jammed or unplugged/missing. So its interesting that my changer under the passenger seat works, which is why I couldn't understand why I'm getting that message? Does this mean I need to strip it down and clean/regrease?
Calliper Colour Advice
jon-v8 replied to leesheffield1's topic in Ford Focus ClubA few months back I did mine, and only this week I did another coat just to make sure there is a good coverage on them. The difference it makes is amazing, ill post up some pics if you like? I went for hammerite smooth silver - as mine is a Ghia estate and would probably look odd if I went for a colour!
Denso Sat Nav Cd Dj Error
jon-v8 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi Guys, I have the Denso Sat Nav in my 06 Focus, and on CD/AUX mode, in the top right corner it says CDDJ Error - what does this mean? Why does it appear as it all seems to work?

The Duchess of Cambridge had a baby girl Saturday morning in London, Buckingham Palace announced.
Prince William, 32, was present for the birth. The baby weighed 8 pounds 3 ounces, the palace said, adding that Kate, 33, and her child were both doing well.
Later in the day, the royal couple stepped out the door of the hospital with the duchess carrying her newborn, wrapped in white. They waved briefly to the crowds gathered outside before leaving in an escorted car driven by William.
The world's media had been stationed outside the hospital behind barriers awaiting news of the birth. When it was announced early in the day, cheers rang out from the crowd...

Quiz Runoff
by Marc B. Shapiro
Written on 4 Shevat, 5773, the yahrzeit of R. Jehiel Jacob Weinberg
Written on 4 Shevat, 5773, the yahrzeit of R. Jehiel Jacob Weinberg
1. In the last post, as the quiz question, I asked for the name of the first Hebrew book published by a living author. The answer is Nofet Tzufim by R. Judah Messer Leon. As the Wikipedia entry for Messer Leon states, this work "was printed by Abraham Conat of Mantua in 1475-6, the only work by a living author printed in Hebrew in the fifteenth century."
A number of people got the right answer, and as a few of them told me, and I confirmed for myself, it was not that difficult to find the answer using Google. There is nothing wrong with using Google or any other search tool, and it is my fault for not realizing that the answer could be found so easily.
Some of the material in the Wikipedia entry for Messer Leon comes from the Jewish Encyclopedia, but not the sentence I quoted above. The second part of the sentence is in fact incorrect, as there is at least one other work by a living author printed in Hebrew in the fifteenth century. I refer to the Agur, by R. Jacob ben Judah Landau (died 1493). This work appeared sometime between 1487 and 1492, so Wikipedia tells us, and in this instance Wikipedia's information comes from the Jewish Encyclopedia. These sources also tell us that "The 'Agur' was the first Jewish work to contain a rabbinical approbation, besides being the second Hebrew book printed during the author's lifetime."
Why then did a number of those who contacted me think that the Agur was the first book to appear in the author's lifetime, rather than the second? Perhaps because in the Encyclopaedia Judaica entry "Haskamah", which is reprinted here, we find the following incorrect statement: "The first haskamah appeared in the 15th century, in the Agur by Jacob Landau (Naples, c. 1490), the first Hebrew book printed during its author's lifetime."
Starting now, I will try to make my quiz questions a bit harder (i.e., not so easy to find the answers via Google). Here are the names of those who answered correctly on the last quiz: Shalom Leaf, Alex Heppenheimer, Leor Jacobi, Eric Lawee, Moshe Lapin, Shimon S., Ari Kinsberg, Yonason Rosman, Peretz Mochkin, Yehudah Hausman, Dovid Solomon
Since I can't reward all of them, there will be a runoff. The following questions are to be answered only by them and only by emailing me the answer. If you can only answer one of the questions please do so.
A. What is the first volume of responsa published in the lifetime of its author?
B. There is a verse in the book of Exodus (hint: we haven't yet reached it this year) which has a very strange vocalization of a word, found nowhere else in Tanach. (The word itself is also spelled in an unusual fashion, found only one other time in Tanach). The purpose of this vocalization is apparently in order to make a rhyme.[1] What am I referring to?
I had thought to ask: What is the first Hebrew work to use modern punctuation including question marks, but via Google I found the answer in a few seconds. So hopefully the answers to what I have asked are not so easily found.
2. I have a good deal more to say on themes discussed in the last post, which I will get to in future posts. But I have one piece of information that I think is quite significant (a real "chiddush") and I don't want to delay passing it on. It turns out that R. Schachter was too quick to add the correction in Nefesh ha-Rav. Here is an email I received by someone who prefers to remain anonymous.
I am not into writing reactions (Israelis call them "talkbacks") on blogs, since I have not become accustomed to the 21st Century. But I want to give you a bit of information that is relevant to your discussion of Metzitza. I attended Rav Aharon Lichtenstein's shiurim at Gruss for a number of years, and I clearly remember what he said on the subject during what the guys called "a press conference." He said very clearly that the Rav was against any Metzitza at all, and he expressed this view explicitly at the brit of one of Rav Aharon's sons. To me such a view makes lots of sense, if one understands that it is required in the gemara only because it was then thought that the lack of Metzitza was dangerous.(כי לא עביד סכנה הוא (שבת קלג,
3. Many people have mentioned to me the problems with the commenting feature (at least for those using Chrome). When you click on it, you often don't see the most recent comments. One way to fix this is after you click to see the comments, where it says "Discussion" check "Newest" or "Oldest", and everything will come up. We will try to come up with a fix for this.
[1] I am referring to the level of peshat, as I realize that all sorts of explanations based on derush, remez, and kabbalah can be offered.

Our marbles are lost. Our toons are loony. Our marchers all have their own disconsonant beats.
We have lost our collective minds.
The world has gone so far over the edge that we have no milestones of insanity by which to judge the next crazy occurrence against the last.
Our marbles are lost. Our toons are loony. Our marchers all have their own disconsonant beats.
It may have been so before Barack Obama was elected to a second term in the White House. But those votes shone a light on the irrational idiots who were cloaked in darkness until those votes were totaled.
Some of the people who have blurred the line between conservative and crazy for years are certainly leading the charge of the goofy brigade now. But they have just as many co-crazies on the left joining their parade.
Jamie Foxx goes on the Soul Train Awards and speaks of President Obama as "our lord and savior."
"It's like church over here. It's like church in here. First of all, give an honor to God and our lord and savior, Barack Obama," Foxx told the crowd.
We may never know if he was poking fun at people like Rush Limbaugh and other right-wing pundits who mock Obama supporters for their overly exuberant praise of the President or if he somehow believes that something about Obama feels really Biblical.
Either way, it was both a stupid thing to say and a masterful way to become relevant again. Shockingly enough, Foxx has a new film coming out at Christmas.
He must really believe no publicity is bad publicity.
Another Obama supporter seems to have taken his worship of Obama to a strange place. Michael D'Antuono produced a painting called "Truth" features Obama depicted as Jesus, wearing a crown of thorns, in a position of a person being crucified.
Surprisingly, the crucifix Obama has a very pleasant look on his face for someone being depicted as a victim of a tortuous capital punishment technique.
How can you call this painting crazy? It's like the word love. People love their children and they love chocolate ice cream. These people are crazy, but the word has lost its meaning.
Glenn Beck wasn't about to let people on the left side of the political spectrum take up all the crazy space though. He decided to redepict the 1987 Andres Sorrano artwork that featured photo of a crucifix in a bottle of his own urine.
Beck's version played on the Obama as a savior meme and he dunked an Obama bobblehead in a bottle of fluid that was also purportedly urine. Of course that "urine" was fake (it even had a green tint which is weird even for Beck) but the crazy shadow had already been cast.
Then the magazine GQ came out with a column in their humor section that called Mitt Romney the least influential person in the world.
"Did anyone vote enthusiastically for Mitt Romney? Of course not," the article said.
Obviously, this is another shot at a man whose only crime was winning the GOP presidential nomination.
Romney – who received more than 47 percent of the vote on Nov. 6 - was on the list with Guy Fieri, Bobby Valentine, and Adam Sandler.
The authors of the column were obviously not going for credibility or even humor. The attempt was to get as much publicity as possible for the column and the magazine. Being correct wouldn't do that. Absurdity rules the days in the 24-hour news cycle. It takes a lot of outrage to fuel that machine.
Of course, no list of craziness would be complete without Grover Norquist running around yelling about lawmakers who signed his pledge not to raise taxes. Norquist is angry at those defectors who are willing to compromise to keep the economy away from the fiscal cliff. (I know it is trite. I just didn't want to be the only columnist in America who hasn't used the term at least once).
Norquist says he doesn't believe in compromise. He thinks it is absurd to imagine Democrats would accept entitlement cuts if Republicans would accept some tax increases to improve the country's revenue.
"If you had a pink unicorn, how many dollars in taxes would you raise to trade for the pink unicorn?" Norquist said. "Since pink unicorns do not exist in the real world, it's never occurred to me to worry about the senator from South Carolina. He's not going to vote for a deal because the kind of 10-1 ratio deal he's talking about with real, iron-clad spending cuts is never going to happen."
Who is this guy? How did this lobbyist/conservative activist ever convince 95 percent of the Republicans to sign some pledge he dreamed up?
I do believe that a positive tax environment can be beneficial for investment. But at some point the law of diminishing returns takes the Keynesian ideal and turns it on its head.
I think most people believe – as the election results supported – that some tax increases for wealthy people could help the government close its deficit.
What Grover Norquist needs to realize is that people care as much about what he thinks as they do the thoughts of Grover from Sesame Street.
I have no idea when I boarded the crazy train. But I am ready to get off.
I am looking forward to a shift – hopefully soon – back to normal and logical discussion.

How To Make a Homespun Holiday Tree
I live in a small home and finding a spot for the Christmas tree usually requires stacking one or two pieces of furniture in the corner. Not this year! I made a delightful tree that doesn't require any furniture removal. Read full instructions after the jump!
• 3-4 fallen tree branches
• 1 box of LED holiday lights
• a little creamy white yarn, trim or fabric
• a couple of bricks and a few tacks
Step 1- Gather fallen tree branches of varying lengths depending on your space.
Step 2- Anchor largest branch. My main branch is about six feet high and 1-2″ in diameter, so I used a couple of bricks at the bottom to hold branch in place and then tied yarn around the top of the branch and extended to the corner of my ceiling. If your branch is heavy, use fishing line for appropriate weight.
Step 3- Tie smaller branches to main branch with yarn.
Step 4- Hang holiday lights from the branches (I found my LED star lights at IKEA).
Step 5- Wrap branches with scraps of yarn, trim and fabric.
Step 6- Plug it in and chant, "Fa la la la la, la la la la!"

It's back to court for the case that pitted Catherine Zeta-Jones and her husband Michael Douglas against British celebrity magazine Hello!
The magazine plans to appeal last year's legal decision that it shell out more than $1.9 million to a rival publication for printing unauthorized photos of the celebrity couple's November 2000 wedding.
On Thursday in London, Hello! lawyer Christopher Hutchings said the magazine would go to court at the beginning of next week to fight the damages award to OK!, reports the Associated Press. He said the magazine would not challenge a $28,000 payment made to Douglas, 60, and Zeta-Jones, 35.
Last year, a High Court judge ruled that Hello! had breached the Douglas's commercial confidentiality by publishing secretly snapped photos of their splashy wedding at New York's Plaza Hotel. Douglas and Zeta-Jones had signed an exclusive deal with OK! for rights to pictures of the nuptials.
In the 2003 ruling, following a six-week trial at which Zeta-Jones and Douglas both testified, Judge John Lindsay awarded the couple token damages after they had sought upwards of $1 million. In court, Zeta-Jones had said she had felt "violated" by the "sleazy and unflattering" pictures published in Hello!
At the time of last year's decision, the jurist also declared that OK! was owed more than $1.9 million for commercial damage to its expected exclusive coverage. Both sides were granted permission to appeal aspects of the judgment.
Hutchings said that once court commences next Monday his client is prepared to argue that it had run its own wedding pictures as a journalistic "spoiler" to its rival's coverage – "no different to any other spoiler in the past or since. Hello! has been subject to many spoilers, including ones from OK!"

AUSTIN — Texas families still have time to lock in costs at Texas public colleges and universities at today's prices and avoid future increases in tuition and required fees. Comptroller Susan Combs reminds families they can do so by enrolling their children in the Texas Tuition Promise Fund®, the state's prepaid college tuition program. The current annual enrollment period ends on Feb. 28 .
The Texas Tuition Promise Fund allows participants to lock in the cost of undergraduate tuition and required fees at Texas public colleges and universities based on current prices.
"Families can purchase a Promise Fund account and ease their concern about rising college costs," Combs said. "The program also gives parents the flexibility of choosing how much prepaid tuition they want to buy and what payment options to use as they plan ahead for their children's education."
Under the plan, families can prepay tuition and required fees for a four-year degree, two years of community college or just a few semesters at Texas public colleges and universities by purchasing tuition units.
Enrollment in the program at 2012-13 prices will close Feb. 28. This deadline extends to July 31 for children younger than 1. The next annual enrollment period begins Sept. 1, with new contract prices based on Texas public college costs for the 2013-14 academic year.
Complete plan information, current prices, enrollment forms and more are available online at www.texastuitionpromisefund.com, or call (800) 445-GRAD (4723), Option 5.

Michael Laudrup will do everything he can to make sure Swansea sign Jonathan de Guzman in the summer.
De Guzman is only on loan at the Liberty Stadium from Villarreal until the end of the season, and again highlighted his talent with a fine double in the 3-1 win over Stoke.
The 25-year-old midfielder has hit his stride in recent weeks and his ability on the ball has been a key part in Swansea's high-tempo attacking approach under Laudrup, who previously worked with the Dutchman at Mallorca. "He is on loan until the end of the season, and then what happens happens, said Laudrup.

In traditional countries, the celerbrating of birthday was as good as unknown. If we discover the teachings of the Buddha a little, its not difficult why people did not celerbrate it at all.
Now that is a total differnt situation to our modern times as well as a dramatic change through modern times influences in the traditional countries.
Would a serious praticing Buddhist celerbrate Birthday?
As a warm-up maybe a similie from Ajhan Chah:
The Beginning Is the End
When we're born we're already dead, you know. Aging and death are the same thing. It's like a tree. Part of it's the base; part of it's the end at the tip. When there's a base, there's an end. When there's an end, there's a base. When there's no base, there's no end. When there's an end, there has to be a base. An end without a base: That can't be. That's how it is.
So it's kind of amusing. When a person dies, we're sad and upset. We sit and cry, grieving — all kinds of things. That's delusion. It's delusion, you know. When a person dies we sob and cry. That's the way it's been since who knows when. We don't stop to examine this carefully. Actually — and excuse me for saying this — it appears to me that if you're going to cry when a person dies, it'd be better to cry when a person is born. But we have it all backwards. When a child is born, people beam and laugh from happiness. But actually birth is death. Death is birth. The beginning is the end; the end is the beginning.

I am always looking for ways to inspire my students and promote learning in my classroom. The biggest obstacle I often face is school itself. Whether its curriculum, rules, schedules, standardized tests or the host of other things that get in the way of inspired learning, there is always appears to be some obstacle. The past two years I have been fortunate to offer my students a day of unfiltered learning that was driven by their passions and interests in the form of Innovation Day. For me, it always kind of bothered me that this day only happened one time during the school year. I wanted a way to have this notion of learning exist in my classroom more regularly and this year I am giving something new a try.
Two weeks ago I introduced my students to something a colleague and I are calling "Passion Projects". We committed a day a week (which is a class period in a junior high setting) to allow kids to work on these projects. To start, we asked our students what they were passionate about. What did they want to be when they grew up? If they had unrestricted time and resources to learn about something, what would that be? As a class we talked through the answers to these questions and started designing projects and learning activities based on their interests. Below is the first list of topics that was generated by my students during their first brainstorm.
- Music
- Environmental impacts on testing
- Entertaining
- Ocean
- Building
- Website design
- Interior Decorating
- Fishing
- Photobooks/Photography
- Acting
- Writing
- Engineering
- Dinosaurs
- Dancing ballerina
- Cooking, chef
- Perform-drama-skits
- Occupational Therapy
- Marine biology
- Animals
- Basketball
- Swimming animals
- Game design
- Meteorology
Now some of these we are working with and creating into "doable" projects within the parameters of our school day and physical space. Outside of that, I have given them very few restrictions. One requirement I gave them is that I want them to keep a learning journal in some form to reflect on their learning. The other thing I asked them to do is share their work with their peers a few times over the course of the year. I told them I will provide feedback and guidance but never a grade or evaluation.
My goal is for students to pursue something they are passionate about and may never get a chance within a school to study. One way I hope to further inspire them is to use my social media "superpowers" to connect my students with some experts or professionals in some of the above topics. For example, I am already working on connecting my young meteorologist with one of the stars of Discovery's show Stormchasers. I truly want to inspire these kids to think outside of the box and find something to be passionate about. If are or know somebody that is connected to one of these fields please leave me a comment as I would love to talk with you.
I look forward to sharing this journey with my students and sharing their successes and spectacular failures along the way.

To the board: Referring the reader just to hotel La Chance amounts to unfair advertizing. It easer should be removed or other references added. Wikitravel is supposed to be unbiased source. There are many reasonable hotels in Merzouga. Even if you decide to stick to those with websites and eamils there are a few that are not any worse than La Cahnce, e.g. hotel Sahara that is cheaper and provides better desert stays http://www.auberge-sahara-merzouga.com/ ([email protected]), Ksar-Bicha ([email protected]) etc. Staff at all of these hotels respond to emails in english, french and German. They all proviude information. In fact it looks like they provide better information and more realistic prices.
Even though Elena Hall, the owner of the La chance, is an American (or maybe because of that) she quotes the least realistic prices and provides the least interesting responses to the request. She is least willing to customize iteneraries, hotels, etc. So I see it as unfair to post her address in the article.
I am a traveler who experienced all this first hand. You may also look at trip advisor to confirm my point. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs)

By Massachusetts Maritime Academy Sports Information
BUZZARDS BAY, Mass. – In its weather-delayed season opener, the MIT football team fell to host Massachusetts Maritime Academy, 49-27, on Sunday afternoon. Senior DeRon Brown led the Engineers' attack with a total of 216 yards, including a 148-yard performance on the ground. Nathan Sherr rushed for 325 yards on 26 carries and scored three touchdowns for the Buccaneers.
Sherr got Massachusetts Maritime (1-1) on the board first with 5:53 to play in the opening quarter on a one-yard plunge, but the visiting Engineers (0-1) evened matters in the first 39 seconds of the second stanza when sophomore quarterback Kyle Johnson scored from 22 yards out to tie the game at seven. Johnson's scamper was the beginning of a combined 42-point quarter, as Sherr gave the Buccaneers the lead back on the ensuing possession with a three-yard run before Johnson hooked up Brown on a 50-yard touchdown pass off a screen to even the score at 14 with 9:16 remaining before intermission.
Matt White gave the hosts the lead for good on a 20-yard touchdown run on the next Massachusetts Maritime possession for a 21-14 edge. Following an MIT punt, Sherr ripped off a 95-yard touchdown run to extend the margin to 28-14. After an Engineer fumble on the first play on the ensuing drive, White plunged in from nine yards out for his second score of the quarter to give Massachusetts Maritime a 35-14 edge at the break.
Stephen Yablonski's three-yard run capped an eight play, 80-yard drive to open the second half as MIT sliced its deficit to 35-20, but the Buccaneers answered two possessions later when quarterback Matthew Spinazzola connected with Joseph St. Pierre on a seven-yard scoring strike off a fake field goal. Douglas Dyke closed out the Massachusetts Maritime scoring on a four-yard run early in the final stanza, and the Cardinal and Gray's Cameron Brown provided the final touchdown of the day on a three-yard scamper with 3:12 remaining.
White also went over the century mark in rushing with a career-high 111 yards to go with his two touchdowns for Massachusetts Maritime. The Buccaneers outgained the Engineers by a 572-409 margin in total offense for the afternoon, as the hosts amassed 26 rushing first downs and gained 8.8 yards per play on just 65 attempts.
Peter Gilliland and Kristopher Weaver paced MIT defensively with nine total tackles each, including eight solo stops, while Brian Doyle added six solo tackles and seven total stops for the Engineers on the afternoon.
Ryan Howley led Massachusetts Maritime with 11 total tackles (eight solo), while Mike Bois amassed 10 total stops, including eight solo. Michael Farnsworth registered 1.5 sacks for the Buccaneers, who recorded nine tackles for losses of 32 yards on the day, while Andy Hirko added eight solo stops.

Advertising Is Content
from the let's-try-again... dept
This has been an ongoing theme around here, but it looks like slowly, but surely, TV execs are realizing that advertising is content. For too long, many people assumed that content was what brought people in, and advertising was the annoying stuff they put up with to see the stuff they wanted. When you begin to realize that advertising itself is content (and that any content can be used for advertising), it opens up a whole new world of possibilities, where things like TiVo and unauthorized downloading aren't scary. In fact, they're so not scary that they start to look like wide open opportunities. E-Media Tidbits is noticing the fact that commercials are apparently starting to become entertaining enough on their own that there's now a whole TV channel devoted to them. I don't think this is really that new. For years, there have been successful TV shows playing "the funniest commercials." AdCritic was hugely popular in attracting visitors (though, never came up with a good business model) years back showing that people wanted to watch commercials. In fact, it seems like a TV show of commercials is actually a step backwards, making people sit through random commercials, rather than letting them pick and choose, such as at AdCritic or one of the sites that have tried to do similar offerings.

As our reporters continue to uncover wanton overspending by the Centinela Valley school district in so many budget areas, it's reasonable to conclude that the board members are either dupes of those who are extracting so much money from the district, or are on the take.
With no evidence of wrongdoing at district headquarters, we have to surmise that the board members have been fooled. Repeatedly.
The superintendent took in $663,000 in total compensation in 2013. "We would not knowingly give that high a salary," board member Hugo Rojas said at a board meeting last month. By his own admission then, they were duped.
Now comes word that the district has been spending 10 times as much on legal fees as nearby Redondo Beach Unified, which is about a third larger than Centinela Valley. Some of those legal fees, which averaged $1.7 million a year over the past three years, went to the attorney or attorneys who prepared Superintendent Jose Fernandez's contract — the one that netted him that obscene compensation last year and a low-interest, $910,000 loan from the district to buy a house in an exclusive neighborhood.
Some of those legal fees go to the attorneys who often sit in the audience at board meetings to answer legal questions, adding up to a lot of billable hours that most school districts don't require.
And some of the fees even go to the attorneys who help keep school board members in line. When then-board member Sandra Suarez asked in 2011 how much the district was spending on legal fees with its top law firm and what duties it was performing, the firm gave her 125 pages of invoices that were redacted — blacked out to keep the elected representative of the public from seeing what the district had been billed for, leaving only the dollar amounts. Not only that, but the law firm, Dannis Woliver Kelley, charged the district $744 for responding to her request — charging for all that redacting, no doubt.
Later, when her fellow board members issued a formal letter of reprimand to Suarez, saying she had overstepped her authority in several respects, it cited the her request to review legal invoices and characterized it as "disruptive."
It appears that it doesn't pay to question the district's well-compensated law firms. The message appears to be that board members should just sit there and be good little dupes.

The purpose of this page is to give consumers a brief overview of the law profession to help you make an informed decision for your legal representation.
In order to practice law in the United States, a lawyer must have completed a four-year degree and have a law degree from an accredited law school(California is a notable exception, but the non-accredited law school must meet certain requirements). A lawyer must then pass a written bar examination, and in some cases, a written ethics exam. Bar examinations do vary on a state-by-state basis. In most states, a lawyer is required to take the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE), and the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) in addition to the state bar exam. Some states also require a Multistate Performance Test (MPT).
Lawyers can concentrate their practices to certain areas of law. By limiting the range of cases they handle,lawyers are able to acquire specialized knowledge and experience. However, to be certified as a specialist of a discipline, a lawyer must complete a specialty certification program accredited by the American Bar Association (ABA).The individual states regulate the lawyers in their respective states and promulgate rules of professional responsibility. These rules are subject to the United States Constitution.
Lawyers have numerous responsibilities in serving their clients. These responsibilities encompass both professional and ethical rules and codes of conduct set forth by state bar associations where the lawyers are licensed. Once licensed to practice law by their state bar association, lawyers are legally permitted offer legal advice to their clients, draft legal documents, file legal complaints, and litigate cases in state court.

The shakeups continue at Florida Atlantic University with Provost Brenda Claiborne becoming at least the fifth administrator to step down in recent months.
Claiborne will stay at FAU but will become a program director for neuroscience at the Jupiter campus Aug. 7, the university said.
"While I have thoroughly enjoyed my tenure as provost, this move provides the opportunity for me to resume my research on brain development and aging," Claiborne said.
Diane Alperin, associate provost of personnel and programs, will serve as acting provost until an interim provost is appointed.
A semester of controversies and bad publicity prompted former FAU President Mary Jane Saunders to step down in mid-May. Three other administrators left FAU for other jobs a few weeks later: Jennifer O'Flannery Anderson, vice president for community engagement; Janet Cramer, associate provost for instruction and assessment; and Monica Orozco, assistant provost for elearning.

An Equal Employment Opportunity Commission work group found African Americans are still faced with discrimination and fewer opportunities in the federal workplace, according to a new report.
The EEOC work group determined African Americans were hindered by unconscious biases, insufficient training and mentoring, outdated recruiting and hiring practices and the perception of inequality.
The EEOC found the perception of inequality can thwart African Americans from advancing professionally, even when minority workers are not directly being discriminated against.
Additionally, the work group found African Americans experience lack of mentoring and networking opportunities.
Many of the recommendations came in 2010 after the EEOC began questioning various agencies, affinity groups and academics to identify outstanding equal-opportunity problems and suggest changes.
"This effort is the latest step in an ongoing dialogue with agency stakeholders to effectuate a model federal workplace for all employees," Carlton Hadden, director of EEOC's Office of Federal Operations, said in a written statement.
The EEOC work group suggested agencies create formal mentoring programs to make certain all employees learn workplace tips and be made aware of new job openings.
Another suggestion made by the agencies is to increase training, to give African Americans the chance to grow within their departments and to help managers recognize and do away with bias.
The report will require senior managers enforce equal employment laws and regulations.
"Compliance with these rules should be factored into managers' evaluations," EEOC said, "and bonuses should contingent upon making diversity a priority."

I have created a tool which will easily change your (apache) document root to the folder you have selected. It will automatically search for apache and your current Document Root. Have your root changed in seconds!
The reason why I developed this tool is because I am studying IT and I was getting sick of copying the websites over and over again, that's why I made this. I think it is very easy to use. During the period of this development I learnt alot and I know there are other ways to easily manage multiple roots but yeah... Just tell me what you think and maybe I will upload it! Thankyou.
This is the main form, here you can browse for your folder you want to have as your root. It will automatically check if Apache is running and it will Save and Restart if needed.
I made this even easier... You can right click on a folder in your Windows Browser and you can choose to have it as root. The main form won't be visible during this process.
And just for the lolz, I added an Windows 8 styled notification when it's done changing and restarting Apache! This will popup in the bottom right corner of your screen!
Please tell me what you think!
Don't get frustated while reading my English haha. I am Dutch and just 16 years old. Dont hate on me

Jan. 14, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Senior Craig Edwards and Freshman Rastislav Racz each picked up two individual victories to push MIT (6-0, 4-0 NEWMAC) to victory over New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference foes Springfield College and the United States Coast Guard Academy on Sunday afternoon. The Engineers downed the Pride, 185-114, and the Bears, 163-134.
Coast Guard (4-2, 3-1 NEWMAC) overcame Springfield (3-7, 1-2 NEWMAC), 194.50-105.50, in the day's other meeting.
Edwards took the 100-yard (53.54) and 200-yard (1:56.45) backstrokes, while Racz touched the wall ahead of his opponents in both the 100-yard (58.95) and 200-yard (2:10.76) breaststrokes.
The Cardinal and Gray picked up a number of other individual victories on the day to propel the squad to victory over its conference foes. Sophomore Deke Hu won the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 1:59.79, while Jeff Zhou took the 100-yard butterfly (53.11) and Kalvin Kao touched the wall first in the 200-yard individual medley (2:00.72).
Zhou was also instrumental in Tech finishing 1-2 in the 50-yard freestyle, earning maximum points in the 50-yard freestyle with a winning time of 21.86. He barely edged out teammate Luke Cummings, who clocked in at 21.96 for the second-place finish.
The Engineers relay teams earned two victories, as well. The 200-yard medley relay team of Zhou, Racz, Hu and Cummings took the top spot with a time of 1:36.19, while the 400-yard free relay squad of Peter Wellings, Cummings, Zhou and Edwards touched the wall at 3:11.66 to finish first.
Head coach Dawn Gerken was pleased by how well her team performed, saying that "today's tri-meet was a competitive match-up that could have gone either way. We were fortunate to win a few close races, but the real key to our victory was depth," she added.
She concluded, "I am proud of how well we raced, but, more importantly, I am proud of the way the team supported one another."
Coast Guard showed its prowess in the freestyle events by taking first-place finishes in four of five. Junior Bobby Brown won the 200-yard (1:44.14), 100-yard (47.90) and the 500-yard (4:51.29), while Doug Fallon rounded out the domination by taking maximum points in the 1000-yard (10:01.44).
Springfield was buoyed by Matt Fitzgerald, who took the one-meter diving competition with a score of 244.90.
MIT will return to action on Saturday, Jan. 20, when it hosts Tufts University at 1:00 p.m. Springfield will hit the road on that same day to take on Williams College at 1:00 p.m., while Coast Guard travels to Babson on Tuesday, Jan. 16 at 5:00 p.m.

Oct. 11, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – MIT men's soccer continued its torrid start to the 2008 campaign by knocking off Springfield College, 2-0, on Saturday at Roberts Field. The victory moved the Engineers to 12-0-1 on the season and 3-0-0 in NEWMAC Play while the Cardinal and Gray continue to build on the best start in program history.
Springfield (5-6-1, 2-2-0) generated the first scoring threat of the afternoon off the boot of senior Matt Montgomery, who re-directed a cross and slammed the ball off the top of the crossbar eight minutes into the match. The Pride had additional chances early in the contest, but a pair of corner kicks and several good crosses failed to yield a goal. MIT mounted pressure on the Springfield backs midway through the first half, but goalkeeper Kevin Leahy made four saves during the stretch to keep the Engineers' attack at bay.
MIT broke the scoreless tie two minutes into the second half as junior Adam Talsma delivered his first goal of the season on a re-direct. A penalty near mid-field set up the opportunity while sophomore defender Kevin Chou sent the ball into the box.
The Pride enjoyed a commanding 9-2 edge in corners, but unfortunately every chance to come up with the equalizer was met with an MIT response. Caldwell reciprocated Leahy's tremendous first half by making fives saves of his own in the second.
With Springfield continuing to search for the game-tying goal, the Engineers locked up the conference win with another finish in the 83rd minute. Sophomore Christian Therkelsen sent a through-ball toward the middle of the pitch that freshman Max Stein-Golenbock corralled and drove 20 yards down field before placing the ball in the bottom left corner for the 2-0 lead.
Caldwell closed the afternoon with seven saves en route to his sixth shutout of the season. Leahy made five saves in goal for the Pride.

Ask participants how scientists know what dinosaurs looked like. (They find fossils and reconstruct the skeletons.) It is important for scientists to find the pieces in their original positions (relative to one another) so that they can see how the pieces fit together. The same is true for culturalhuman-madeartifacts.
Use three simple picture puzzles. Break the puzzles apart. In a yard, sandlot, or playground, scatter all the pieces of one puzzle in a small area. In another location scatter just two or three pieces, and in another location leave just one piece. Split the group into three teams and have one group at each location recover the pieces. Ask the groups to try reconstructing their puzzle or describe the picture based on the pieces they have found.
Ask each group how easy it was to reconstruct the puzzle. Discuss the following:
Although this Quick Concept deals with fossils and artifacts, the principle leave what you find applies to all things that should remain undisturbed in the backcountry. Wildflowers, petrified rock, and nests are examples of other discoveries to leave for others to enjoy.

The lead-up to today's nomination of former GOP senator from Nebraska Chuck Hagel to be the next Secretary of Defense has been marked by an aggressive smear campaign by neoconservatives determined to scuttle the bid. Among the ringleaders of this campaign has been the Weekly Standard's Bill Kristol, who has deemed Hagel unfit for service at the Pentagon.
It turns out though that Kristol was less worried about Hagel's positions when he was being considered for a much higher position than Cabinet Secretary: Vice President of the United States. Hagel was among those on the short-list to be named as Vice Presidential candidate under then-Gov. George W. Bush on the Republican ticket in 2000. At the time, Kristol was a supporter of the possibility that Hagel would be a heart-beat away from the presidency, making the rounds on several cable shows to make the case.
When reading the transcript of Kristol's appearance on Chris Matthews' Hardball on Jun. 7, 2000, the irony is palpable. During the lead-in to the show, Matthews said, "Then we're going to talk about what's alleged to be a smear campaign against George W. Bush's likely candidate for VP, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska. That smear campaign, according to Bill Kristol, who's going to join us, is being led by Senate Republican leader Trent Lott." Kristol went on to accuse Lott of attempting to kill the chance of Hagel getting the nod, while forgoing the chance to bring up any negatives on Hagel when directly asked by Matthews. But Kristol made his feelings about then-Senator Hagel quite clear:
KRISTOL: Trent Lott does not like people [like Hagel] exercising independence.
MATTHEWS: Because they're the very kind of people that you, Bill Kristol, like, right? You're always championing the mavericks.
KRISTOL: Well, somewhat, yes.
The next week on Fox News, Kristol was more effusive in his praising of Hagel's qualifications when talking with host Paula Zahn:
ZAHN: I want to have a broader conversation about that later, but I'm going to quickly continue to go down this list. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska?
KRISTOL: Impressive and attractive first-term senator, some foreign policy experience, a McCain supporter. So he reaches out to the McCain voters. I think he's a pretty — has a pretty decent shot.
Several things can be read from Kristol's early belief that Hagel was ready to be Vice President compared to his current thinking. It may be that Kristol did not fully vet the positions held by Hagel before agreeing that he should be on the GOP ticket in 2000 — a firm possibility given his support for Gov. Sarah Palin in 2008. But it's probably more likely that his belief in Hagel's qualifications have dimmed since then due to Hagel's abandonment of support for the Iraq War. After all, one of Kristol's main critiques of Hagel now is that Hagel has expressed skepticism about the U.S. going to war with Iran. Indeed, during the height of the Iraq war in 2007, Kristol called Hagel "irresponsible" for withdrawing his support.
But Hagel's views on Iraq and Iran are well within the mainstream, and the neocons have been entirely discredited. Perhaps then Kristol is now simply looking for a little pay back.
