The Houston SPCA's Wildlife Center of Texas , a Bayou City-based wildlife rehabilitation center, rescued a nestling bald eagle from a nest in Webster on Thursday. The eaglet—nicknamed Boots by Paul White, the owner of the property where the eagles are located— was rescued after nest cam footage showed the baby bird struggling to sit up and move around the nest, which impaired his chances for survival. "Boots was brought back to the center for rehabilitation due to his poor condition," a Facebook post from the organization read, which also included a photo of Boots at the center. "He is extremely weak, but we are providing around the clock care, including warm fluids and nutritional supplements to try to help him pull through." Once Boots is more stable, the Houston SPCA said it plans to assess apparent deformities they found in his legs and feet. They thanked CenterPoint Energy who assisted in the rescue by providing a high lift bucket truck to help them reach the … [Read more...] about Houston SPCA Wildlife Center of Texas rescues nestling bald eagle in Webster

Kids & Family Ambitious student & parents campaign aims to reduce incidence of underage drinking Cindy Kurman , Local Business Posted Reply “Know the NO” is the theme of an ambitious year-long campaign aimed at students and parents in the Tinley Park community to reduce the incidence of underage drinking. The campaign, which launched in October, has been created by Leaders Opposed to Underage Drinking (L.O.U.D.), a collaboration of community and educational leaders in these communities south of Chicago. L.O.U.D. is the brainchild of Bremen Youth Services, a social services agency that serves young people and families in the Bremen Township area. The theme emphasizes that saying “no” to alcohol is the norm in these communities, not the exception. The campaign is aimed at … [Read more...] about Tinley Park Says It LOUDly and Proudly: “Know the NO”

THE ENGLISH department at Yale used to resemble a sort of English country estate. It included a great house of many wings and rooms (the Elizabethan Pavilion, the Metaphysical Poets Billiard Parlor, the T. S. Eliot Chapel and so forth) and, normally, one entered this house via certain well-marked paths and avenues that ran through a spacious park. The park looked as though Nature had … [Read more...] about THE TYRANNY OF THE YALE CRITICS

IN EARLY SUMMER, I PAID TWO VISITS TO Harold Bloom, the eminent literary critic famous for his prodigious intellectual energy. On both occasions, he seemed intent on staging a deathbed scene. Collapsed on a reclining armchair, brow furrowed, mouth sour, the 64-year-old Bloom looked worse than pained. "The battle is lost," he whispered. "These resentniks have destroyed the canon." … [Read more...] about Colossus Among Critics; Harold Bloom

Just as you can’t judge a stewed eel by its looks (otherwise who would eat one?), you can’t judge a series by its name. “Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern,” tonight on the Travel Channel, is smarter than its lame title implies, thanks to the charm and intelligence of its host. The gimmick: Mr. Zimmern, a Minneapolis chef, food writer and radio host, travels the globe eating grubs, grouper throats and mammalian unmentionables, all to demonstrate that offal isn’t so bad. The reality: By taking an anthropological approach to food, Mr. Zimmern broadens his subject, conveying a vivid sense of place and a serious appreciation for social and culinary diversity. Now back to those grouper throats, and mullet gizzards, tongue and chitlins. That was the Gulf Coast, last week. Before that Mr. Zimmern went to Ecuador, where he ingested guinea pig (“absolutely fall-off-the-bone delicious”), “lemony tasting” live ants in the rain forest and grubs, served on banana leaves at a family feast. Then … [Read more...] about One Man’s Biodiversity Is Another Man’s Lunch
