Above you the high mountain walls and thick forest help keep a secret that few have discovered. You have entered a sacred place, the eastern home of our magnificent national symbol, the American bald eagle. These majestic birds soar high above in their natural habitat, undisturbed by the low rumblings of the occasional train and the passengers who have come for a sighting. Don't be surprised to see these superb flyers swooping overhead in pursuit of prey or gliding gently across the blue mountain skies as if to flaunt their supremacy of the air.

USA Today:
Retrieval of Titanic artifacts begins:
An expedition to retrieve historic artifacts from the ruins of the sunken Titanic is underway in the North Atlantic. The expedition, however, has provoked charges of piracy and grave-robbing from critics including Robert Ballard, who discovered the shipwreck 15 years ago. Ballard claims that the wreckage should be left untouched so that it can remain a memorial to the 1,603 people who died on the ship's maiden voyage. Nonetheless, the expedition will attempt to uncover historic objects from the ship's mailroom, first-class cabins and captain's quarters, as well as valuable jewels from the bow.

Recognizing False Labor:
If Braxton Hicks contractions are irregular and subside when you change activity, they're referred to as false labor. False labor may feel just like the real thing; the only difference is that the contractions start to taper off and then disappear altogether. Doctors say that unless you're finely attuned to the subtleties of labor, you probably won't be able to determine whether you're experiencing false labor until it's over. But false labor can progress into true labor, and therefore evaluation by your doctor or midwife is often necessary to tell the difference, especially if you're having false labor signs very early on. Some signs of false labor include: Contractions that are irregular and don't seem to increase in intensity, pain centered on your lower abdomen rather than on your lower back, and contractions that subside when you move around or take a walk.
NOTE: Always follow the advice of your Physician!
