    How To Choose The Right Pet Bird - Top Stocks For 2012, Best ...

    Birds are interesting and very loyal companions for humans, much like dogs, and they can be the perfect pets for certain people if they comprehend what they are getting into to begin with. Las Vegas bail bonds, a company in Nevada, and other companies around the United States have found that it is easier to get business when they have a pet to show off for their customers. Businesses like the Las Vegas bail bond company, know the value of unique pets but they also understand the responsibility that comes with owning a pet like a bird.

    Obviously the first thing you need to look at when you are looking for a bird if how much space your have in your home and therefore, how big the bird can actually be. Birds need big cages and lots of room to explore and move about and it is common sense that the bigger the bird, the more area they are going to need. If you have a small apartment, do not get a huge bird that is going to end up taking over every corner you have to call your own or else you will be extremely upset with your choice.

    Once your know what size bird you are allowed to have, you should look at the basic traits that types of birds have such as their temperament and how easy it is to train them. If you do not have a lot of expertise with birds, it would not make sense to get a bird that is hard to train and not easy to get along with. Likewise, other family members that are going to come in contact with the bird should be thought of and if there are young children in your family, you should get a bird that has an extremely easy going temperament so that the bird does not hurt the kids.

    Finally, you need to think about the amount of time you are prepared to give to the bird that you buy and how much time you are actually going to be able to give to the bird. Birds require a ton of attention and a lot of training or else they become ill and hard to manage. In the same sense, some birds can survive for a long, long time and if you are not prepared for that commitment, you should probably look for a different pet because birds are not suited for you. Birds are not meant to be displayed around like a painting in a museum so if that is your intention, you should definitely pick another animal.

    In the end, birds are incredible pets for the right people but nightmares for people who do not do enough research about their pets and who rush through in the hopes of having a unique animal to show their friends and family. Take things carefully, or else you will regret it and you will be fixed with a pet that you cannot train, nor get along with, for a very, very long time.

    Connor R. Sullivan has a son in law school who works closely with a Las Vegas bail bond firm as part of his training. He learned a lot from working at a Las Vegas bail bonds firm during the summer. Also published at How To Choose The Right Pet Bird.

    Southern Great Plains could run out of groundwater in 30 years, study finds

    A new study looking at key aquifers beneath the Great Plains and California's Central Valley suggests that areas of Texas and Kansas are drawing groundwater at an unsustainable rate.

    By Pete Spotts / May 30, 2012

    Wheat harvesters work on Tuesday near Clearwater, Kan. The Ogallala aquifer runs beneath much of western Kansas.

    Fernando Salazar/The Wichita Eagle/AP

    Enlarge

    Key farming regions in the US are drawing water from underground sources at unsustainable rates, with slightly more than one-third of the southern Great Plains at risk of tapping out its sources within the next 30 years.

    Skip to next paragraph

    '; } else if (google_ads.length > 1) { ad_unit += ''; } } document.getElementById("ad_unit").innerHTML += ad_unit; google_adnum += google_ads.length; return; } var google_adnum = 0; google_ad_client = "pub-6743622525202572"; google_ad_output = 'js'; google_max_num_ads = '1'; google_feedback = "on"; google_ad_type = "text"; google_adtest = "off"; google_image_size = '230x105'; google_skip = '0'; // -->

    Those are among the conclusions of a study of the nation's two major aquifers ? one underlying the high plains, the other beneath California's Central Valley ? published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

    Concerns over the loss of groundwater in these areas aren't new. But the researchers say the tools they've used build a detailed picture of these critical water sources ? how the amount of water they contain varies with time, location, and regional climate patterns ? could allow for more nuanced approached to local water management.

    Other water specialists suggest that the ability to combine detailed well measurements with satellite data could open the door to developing regionwide, even multistate planning for groundwater use ? an approach that currently is applied to surface water.

    Moreover, careful tracking of aquifers is likely to become more critical as global warming's effects become more pronounced, particularly during the second half of this century, the team suggests.

    A number of recent studies have highlighted the problem of groundwater depletion globally for irrigation, notes Bridget Scanlon, who heads the Sustainable Water Resources Program at the University of Texas at Austin and was the study's lead author.

    ?We wanted to look in more detail at the two areas where there has been the most groundwater depletion in the US and try to better understand what is going on so that we could see if its possible to manage them more sustainably or reduce the depletion,? she says.

    Ogallala aquifer

    Some of the biggest surprises involved the Ogallala aquifer, a resource that stretches north along the Texas-New Mexico border through the Oklahoma panhandle and western Kansas to extend through virtually all of Nebraska and into eastern Wyoming.

    Farming in the high plains contributes about $35 billion a year to the economy. Conventional wisdom has held that from north to south, the aquifer represents ?fossil? water from the melting of the continent's glaciers at the end of the last Ice Age. And in the central and southern high plains, that remains true. This is where groundwater losses have been most pronounced.

    About 4 percent of the land area above the aquifer, which falls in parts of Kansas and Texas, is responsible for about a third of its water losses, the team estimated.

    But the researchers found that in the northern high plains, groundwater levels either have been holding relatively steady or have increased between 1950 and 2007 ? fed by rain and seepage from lakes that come and go with the rainy season and snow melt. Some water also finds its way underground from the Platte, Republican, and Arkansas Rivers. The water percolates through soils that are coarser than soils in the central and southern high plains.

    Overall, however, the Ogallala Aquifer has lost an average of 5.3 cubic kilometers of water a year between the 1950s and 2007 ? a rate that increased to an average of 7 cubic kilometers of water between 1987 and 2007.

    Island Water Sports -Wave of Hope ? Sun Sentinel Interview | IWS ...

    The ocean may be right at our doorstep, and the waves never sleep. But some kids never have the chance to shred, get their flow on, or shout out a spirited "cowabunga!"

    So for more than 25 years, the Island Water Sport surf shop in Deerfield Beach has been footing the bill for three or four underprivileged kids to attend its annual summer surf camp.

    "Some of these kids have never been to the beach," said Mike Paim, the shop's marketing manager. "They're very urban, very sheltered."

    But this year, in partnership with the city of Deerfield Beach, the shop is upping the ante: they're aiming to school more than two dozen at-risk kids in the fine art of hanging 10, shooting the curl, or just standing up on the board without falling.

    "Our goal is to send 30 kids to camp at least," Paim said.

    To meet that goal, the shop and the city are looking for donations. They held one fundraiser already, in which surf equipment vendors dedicated 15 percent of their sales, along with auctions of surfboards and beach cruisers, to the camp charity. The event took in $5,000, enough to send 16 kids to surf camp this summer.

    "We need to reach out to the community to raise money to send even more kids out," Paim said.

    Vice Mayor Bill Ganz praised the camp for giving poor kids the opportunity to play around in the surf. "I think it's outstanding, and really, it's a great benefit to the city," he said. "They're giving back to the community."

    The city is working on alternative ways to help fund the program, he added.

    The surf camp consists of 10, one-week sessions for $299 a week. From 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., kids ages 6 to 17 take lessons on surfing, skim boarding, snorkeling and stand-up paddling. They also attend classes on surf history and the environment, smear on extra sun screen and clean up the beach.

    Disadvantaged kids find the surf camp a welcome respite from often grim neighborhoods, and not just because of the refreshing surf.

    "It's a brand new experience for them, and it can really open their eyes that there's more to do out there than just hanging around on the street," Paim said. "It gets them in touch with nature. They don't have a lot of time for recreation."

    Many of the kids who benefited from the shop's previous charity sponsorships ? a program motivated by faith ? have continued to ride the waves.

    "Some of these kids started at an early age and 10 to 15 years later are still into surfing," Paim said.

    The shop and city are planning at least one more event to raise the money needed to fund the surf camp for 14 more kids.

    "I think we'll probably end up doing one more through the summer," Paim said. "Once we schedule the next event, we're sure the community will come out again and support it."
