The Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health February's "Walk with a Doc" has a focus on active transportation, specifically biking.
We were joined by Washington Area Bicyclist Association, Black Women Bike DC, Bike Arlington, and Capital Bikeshare to talk about the health benefits of biking, impediments and support for biking in our cities, ways to integrate biking into the lives of ourselves and our communities.

The segregation-era homes of Inglewood are looking ragged, still showing tenacious independence in their dereliction. Some sit empty, others cling tightly to memories fading since integration finally came in 1954. Now you're just as likely to find black as white in this neighborhood, precariously perched over the hill and out of sight of Bridgetown. I've passed through walking, biking, or driving since being born, watching the mouldering, demolition, and periodic renovation of various tiny historic homes. Thousands of times on the roadside, seeing what the years might make of us. The oldest ones show additions on additions, slowly expanded from the original shacks, more room made as money was saved and children born. Poor, proud history, old as any other village in the Valley, but far more forgotten. But you and I, we remember.

TA soldiers on Exercise ROMAN STAR in Italy
TA soldiers from 4 YORKS are in Italy learning how to adapt to the changing nature of conflict. As the Army looks to draw down its forces in Afghanistan and retrain to combat the new security threats facing the world, training is changing to reflect the new demands. The new training exercise with the Italian Army, known as Ex ROMAN STAR, follows this month's Government announcement on troop reductions and a greater reliance on reserve soldiers to integrate with the regular Army. It is the first of a series of new overseas exercises for the reserves who will need to increase their numbers to meet the demands of the Army 2020 structure
Reservists from 4 YORKS are the first to undertake the exercise which trains them to prepare for and execute an attack on a property occupied by enemy forces. The attack includes a helicopter assault with the Italian Army providing the air assets. Building up to this, the troops will learn how to combine conventional warfare and close quarter combat with modern assault techniques, some of which have been developed during operations in Afghanistan; Crown copyright.

While many angiosperms (flowering plants) have blossoms with both the staminate and pistillate parts present, some are monoecious instead, with separate female and male flowers on the same plant. Still others are diocecious—single-sexed blooms are borne on separate plants.
This species, Wood Nettle (Laportea canadensis) is native to the eastern half of North America. And it's a good example of the monoecious type. The white-tepaled panicles lower on the stem are the staminate; the pistillate rise up and out of view at the top.
Some years ago, while I was introducing a tour group to a particularly lovely bottomland forest in Minnesota, a young participant clad in shorts and a T-shirt ran into the middle of a large community of Wood Nettles some distance off the path. I think he was trying to play hide-and-seek with his parents. At any rate, his cover was soon blown, as the hefty subcutaneous dose of formic acid he'd received started to take effect. I remember hearing a very loud yeeeeoooowwwww.
To brush against the leaves of just a single plant can be distinctly unpleasant. Like its opposite-leaved cousin the Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica), Wood Nettle is beweaponed with tiny stiletto-like hairs filled with the same kind of acid used by ants.
Incidentally, you should be able figure out the flower-gender arrangement of the Stinging Nettle from its taxonomic name. In this case, knowledge of Latin isn't really necessary.

Ulaanbaatar - the capital city of Mongolia, has undergone rapid expansion due to the high-levels of rural-to-urban migration. In-migrants have been settling in Ger areas which have developed on Ulaanbaatar city's periphery to accommodate population growth that has exceeded the capacity planned urban core area. The factors behind in-migration in recent years include poor incomes in the countryside, the Dzuds (extremely cold winter occurrences) of 1999-2010 which resulted in the loss of livestock - the main source of income in the countryside, and the Supreme Court decision of 2003 that granted citizens the right to the "freedom of movement" within Mongolia. The in-migrants have settled in the Ger-areas located outside the conventional built-up area of the city with predominantly traditional Ger (felt-tent) housing and low-levels of infrastructure and service provision.

It is difficult to not pay attention to Ordalina, our arts facilitator. She has a magical way with the children (and just about any other person) that very few people have.
It is in deepest regret and sadness that I inform you of Roney's cold-blooded murder on the early morning hours of January 16th. May he find peace wherever his journey has taken him.......
We need your Change more than ever now, to bring about justice so that Roney's death will not have been in vain.
