String theory, the new Holy Grail of physics, is so bizarre, yet so appealing, that maybe you'll want to learn more •~«about it. Let me pitch just one of its ideas. We all know that matter, the chair that you arc sitting on, the printer's ink that forms the words which are allowing you to read this article, is composed of atoms and molecules. Atoms are composed of three more basic units, protons and neutrons which form the nucleus of the atom and electrons which orbit the nucleus. Each of these subatomic particles, the proton, neutron, and electron are composed of still smaller units called quarks. Now quantum physicists are starting to believe that quarks are composed of billions of vibrating, wriggling string-like entities. The strings themselves are energy, not matter, and their vibrations are governed by six very small dimensions which control the manner in which these oscillations occur, thus giving us a sense of order and predictability to the matter that surrounds us. In its essence, energy disguises itself as matter. In the macro, string theory predicts multiple uni- verses which co-exist and are influenced by the decisions we make in this universe. On the micro, string theory suggests that our thoughts, wishes, and desires influ- ence matter on the quantum (smallest) level. It lends credence to the benefits of positive thought, the power of prayer, and that we have an essence, a spirit, or a soul that continues after we die. Would it not be ironic, if in the end, string theory allowed science to prove the existence of God? www.astronomy.o-rg.

She liked to follow CROW in the paper and was a fan of its work. Although she felt she had a good idea of how the hospi- tal operated, she was Shocked to learn how many new patients arrived each day. She was under the impression it was one or two. In fact, so far this year, the least number of patients CROW has admitted in one day is six. On the busiest day, the clinic took in a whopping 25 patients. These numbers underscore how much CROW relies on volunteer help and financial donations from the community. On a daily basis, staff takes care of approximately 150 animals, an impressive work load for a non- profit organization The week PJ vis- ited the bookstore, for example, CROW was treating 53 animals in intensive care and 99 in the outside enclo- sures.

All have the Mtelltale decurved bills, and all are about the size of a SPECIAL chunky little blue heron. White ibis adults are white, duuuh, and Don't Pass Up Our pretty much unmistakable. Their young are often segregated and are brown with a white belly. Produce Department Maybe the most likely bird these juveniles could be confused with would be a tri-colored heron, also with a white belly, but they are pretty much a no-brainer. White faced ibis The tough part comes when we encounter "dark" ibis, which are obviously either white-faced or glossy. Make no mistake about it, these two can be extremely difficult. Adults in breeding plumage aren't too terrible, as the white face on "our bird" (the one commonly seen in Texas) is pretty conspicuous, if seen reasonably well. The chalky blue face on the glossy does not extend behind the eye and is much less prominent. Where the wheels fall off the wagon is in immature and winter plumaged birds. They not only are extremely dif- mmm ficult, but often have their heads moving up and down, half-buried in muck. As a bird guide, I can truthfully say that these two birds give me more trouble than any, two birds normally encountered, other than silent willow/alder fly- catchers. In all adult birds, there will be at least a hint of the blue facial FEATURING line on the glossy, although it is FRESH Florida Citrus - SunHarvest • Indian River more pronounced in spring and summer.
