 Robert Mirabal
Mirabal has been at the forefront of Native American music for 20
years, blending traditional sounds with rock and roll. VOA's Susan
Logue visited him at his home in Taos, New Mexico, and has a profile.
Today, there are dozens of recordings featuring Native American flute
music, but Robert Mirabal says that wasn't the case 20 years ago. "When I
started this style of music, I can honestly say there were six or seven
men playing this instrument in the country. There were maybe three or
four recordings." |

 Married Man?
Using an Internet singles or matchmaking site can be a hazardous way to find a single man. Too many married men who want illicit relationships with other women present themselves online as being single. Fortunately for women who have had problems with this in the past, there are tricks you can use to determine if the man's really single. While the results aren't always conclusive, they can help you decide whether or not to trust your gut instinct about a guy.
One warning sign is if someone is reluctant to post a picture of themselves on their online dating profile. Sometimes single, upright people, are just shy about showing themselves online, and others may have exaggerated their appearance in their profiles, but a lack of a picture may also be a sign of a married man. |

 Ocean Suffers The atlas, which was unveiled here Thursday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, was drawn up by combining impact data for 17 different activities, ranging from fishing and commercial shipping to pollution and climate change.
Coral reefs, continental shelves and the deep ocean were the hardest-hit ecosystems, the international team behind the research reported. The biggest human impact was seen in the North Sea, the South and East China Seas, the Caribbean and North America's East Coast. The least-affected areas were largely near the poles. |

 No Brains
In 1976, the movie "Network" foreshadowed the hollowness of television, the addictive nature of its effect on the human mind, and it predicted the development of a culture without culture that would pervade the United States in the 21st century. I believe there has been a massive deterioration of ethical humanness in our society and that the phenomenon of dehumanization can be attributed to the following social changes: |

 Tricky Business
UNIVERSAL DEFAULT - did you know the credit card company can raise your interest rate if you are late on ANY payment? I don't mean late just to the credit card but to ANYBODY! Be late on your phone bill, car, house... ANYTHING. Or if in the eyes of a creditor you simply have to much outstanding credit, all bets are off regardless of whatever interest rate you signed up for.
The logic is simple. The industry believes it is within its rights to protect its interest in a more risky unsecured loan venture. Therefore, it is not unreasonable to raise rates if it has reason to think risk of being repaid has changed. And as a lender, the creditor has every right to view your credit file any time it wants... all of your file and not just its own payment history.
