Milwaukee Business Networking Opportunities: Belize's Great ...

By Linda Patterson


The sheer enormity of the Belize barrier reef, spanning over 900 kilometers (50 miles) of coastline from Cancun to the Yucatan Peninsula, qualifies it as one of the planet's most remarkable natural attractions. World-renowned for the ancient Mayan pyramids that crouch deep with its steamy tropical jungles, Belize's bounty of marine life has also been a steady draw for tourists and vacationers, who gape in amazement at the mirror-like waters and the dazzling colors worn by a host of unusual and splendid sea creatures.

If you find yourself in Belize, use a pen - not pencil - to add a stop by the barrier reef to your itinerary, no matter how full it might already be. If you haven't already got one, renting an underwater camera would be a particularly good idea; you'll fill entire albums with the unbelievable range of underwater life - including over 500 species of fish - that makes its home around this enormous natural treasure. Even quick trips with a snorkel set or the briefest scuba dives will leave you in awe - and planning your return.

The Belize barrier reef itself is constructed from the hard outer skeletons of over 70 species of coral. Tiny, communal animals with soft bodies and tiny tentacle arms, the coral polyps build their exoskeleton as a defense against predators, which can in turn provide a bountiful home for an entire marine ecosystem to develop around.

This is all besides an abundance of rays, sharks, and even cetaceans that occasionally stop by this undersea oasis. The diversity and quantity of undersea flora make an underwater camera almost necessary equipment for even a short snorkel or scuba dive around the reef - and make the Belize barrier reef an essential, not optional, stop on any tour of South/Central America.

A Profile of Marine Life

One of the barrier reef's most readily-identified, and yet undeniably one of its most beautiful, is the starfish (or sea star). Existing in a range of colorations that rival any fish or bird species, they may appear to be mostly inert, but can actually propel themselves across the ocean floor on hundreds of tiny tube feet. Feeding on mollusks like clams, snails, and oysters, prying their prey's protective shells apart with their arms, some species of sea star can move or glide over the sandy bottom with surprising rapidity, and can travel significant distances in search of prey or to avoid a predator, seeking out the details of their environment by sampling water temperature, brightness, and even chemical makeup.

Along with many species of strange and delicate jellyfish floating in the current, algae, eels, crabs, fish, and more, the plethora of species spanning all phyla is on display there at the reef on even the most quotidian day of the year. All that diversity accounts for a mere ten percent of the reef's massive structure; it's estimated that nearly 90% of the species that inhabit the reef have yet to be fully documented. So when you're ready to make your first plunge, check your mask and your recording equipment, because you won't want to waste a second blinking, much less averting your eyes from the panoply of splendid wildlife and unseen treasures that teems around the Belize barrier reef.

Memphis church helps feed 1,200 needy families

(WMC-TV) ? A Whitehaven church has big plans to help feed the city?s hungry families.

St. Paul Baptist Church has partnered with Feed the Children to help distribute boxes of food and supplies to 1,200 Memphis families.

?Each family will receive a 25-pound box of food, a 10-pound box of personal care items and a box of Avon products,? a church spokesman said in a written statement. ?The boxes are designed to help a family of four for up to one week.?

Volunteers will distribute the boxes at the church, 2124 E. Holmes Road, on May 16. Vouchers for the boxes can be reserved by calling 901- 346-5544. If you can't recive a voucher, food and supplies will also be available on a first-come, first served basis.

?The distribution is part of Feed the Children?s Americans Feeding Americans Caravan, which has helped more than 365,000 families across the country since it began in 2009,? the church?s spokesman said.

However, this isn?t the first time St. Paul?s congregation has helped the needy.

The church has operated a food pantry for more than two years thanks to donations from its members and a partnership with the Mid-South Food Bank.

?At St. Paul we take seriously the Christian directive,? Dr. Christopher B. Davis, the church?s senior pastor, said in a written statement. ?How dare we live off the fat of the land and not provide for our brothers and sisters who are hurting or trying to find their way out of a dire situation? We have been so richly blessed as a congregation that we would be remiss not to be a blessing to others.?

Bret Michaels Settles 2009 Tonys Lawsuit

Michaels claims a piece of the set at the show contributed to a brain hemorrhage that nearly killed him.

It was supposed to be his big Broadway debut, but when Poison singer Bret Michaels performed at the 2009 Tony Awards all he came away with was a viral video and a huge headache. Three years after the stage accident
 seen 'round the world, Michaels has settled a lawsuit against the organizers of the show during which he was hit on the head with a set piece after he and his band performed "Nothin' But a Good Time."

In the suit, Michaels claimed that he suffered head injuries that later contributed to an April 2010 brain hemorrhage
 that nearly killed him.

According to the Associated Press the confidential settlement also covers Michaels' claims against CBS Broadcasting, which aired the show. Michaels had blamed the network for televising the moment that turned into a buzzed-about viral video that was viewed millions of times online. He also claimed Tony Awards producers never warned him there would be a set change after he finished singing the classic 1998 Poison hit "Good Time."

At the time of the accident, the set piece descended rapidly and appeared to hit an unaware Michaels in the face hard enough to snap his head back. He was initially left with a cut lip and broken nose
, but the lawsuit claimed that the accident also caused brain bleeding. Michaels was rushed to the hospital
 in April 2010, where doctors found he had a brain hemorrhage, which was followed by a stroke the singer said nearly killed him. Michaels never said how much compensation he was seeking, but claimed in the suit that the injury hampered his ability to perform at later shows.

An attorney for Michaels said details of the settlement would not be released and spokespeople for CBS and the Tonys released a joint statement saying that "an amicable resolution" had been reached but no further details would be released.
