The leather 'envelope' I purchased for my new iPad Air is beautiful and practical, affordable and sophisticated.
Days after I ordered it, it arrived speedily in a very smart shipping box. Inside, my envelope was protected with earth friendly packing material (SMART). The envelope was further gift boxed in a very nice presentation box, which itself was wrapped in packing paper and sealed to protect the box (!). Inside, the envelope was covered in an ultra suede type fabric to protect IT inside of its gift box!!!

No injuries in crash that damaged Rutland Town homeBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | January 23,2013Anthony Edwards / Staff Photo
Police said the driver of a vehicle fled after crashing into this house on Cedar Lane in Rutland Town on Tuesday night.Lenny Montuori, better known as Big Lenny to his Rutland region customers, was sitting in his office Tuesday night when his home exploded around him.
I was hit by all kinds of shrapnel and everything went black, Montuori said standing outside his partially wrecked home at 230 Cedar Lane in Rutland Town. I turned on the flashlight on my phone and said Oh my god, the whole front of the house is gone.
The northwest corner of Montuoris two-story home was reduced to rubble at about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday when a red Chevrolet Cavalier with Vermont plates crashed into the building. The narrow rural road in front of the home was choked with fire trucks, ambulances and police vehicles an hour later as law enforcement searched for the driver who fled the scene.
Montuori, who sells hotdogs and sausages from a mobile stand, said he was uninjured in the crash and his girlfriend, Susan Shaw, who was in the kitchen at the time of the crash, said she and the couples two dogs were okay as well.
Its a miracle. The couch sits right in that corner and thats where the dogs always sit, she said.
A young woman who the couple say was a passenger in the Cavalier appeared uninjured as well as police interviewed her in a nearby cruiser.
But the welfare and the whereabouts of the driver were unknown at 7:30 p.m. about an hour after the young man reportedly behind the wheel fled on foot in the direction of Route 7.
Vermont State Police along with Rutland County Sheriffs Department deputies were patrolling the roadways and a canine unit was called in to attempt a track.
The identity of the passenger wasnt immediately available. Shaw said the woman didnt attempt to flee and was texting on her phone after the crash. Shaw also said the woman told her she didnt know the driver.
The couple said the driver repeatedly apologized before running away.
He kept saying Oh, Im sorry, Im sorry, Im so sorry, Montouri said.
He said he had to go get help, Shaw added. I said Honey, I wouldnt leave.

Our recent C4 buyer's guide described why '84-'96 Corvette are excellent bargains these days, provided you're prepared for the maintenance and common problems that come with ownership. The story also illustrated the differences between a couple of similarly priced vehicles and why, upon inspection, a Competition Yellow '90 coupe represented a superior buy at only $6,000.
This story is a follow-up. We've put our money where our editorial mouth is and bought that yellow '90. Well, the editorial "we" is, in reality, just "me"—the humble keyboard jockey who was out to prove a point. (Or, at least, that he hadn't thrown away good money.) I would demonstrate that insight, too, by driving the car 2,400 miles from Seattle back to my home in Michigan.
It was an inspired plan, and one I was sure Editor Jay Heath would embrace like a cold beer on a hot Saturday afternoon. He embraced it, all right, but not like grabbing an ice-cold Rolling Rock out of the fridge. It was more like someone handed him a warm bottle of fermented goat's milk. As a self-described "recovering C4 owner," he found that the idea triggered a number of frustrating memories. I, on the other hand, had never owned a C4 before, and although I was aware of the numerous issues that typically plague them, I was blissfully (naively?) unaware of how it was to live with them every day.
With a measured tone that suggested I might be crazy to fly across the country to pick up and drive back in a 21-year-old car I had no experience with, he nonetheless told me to go for it, closing with a terse qualifier: "Just don't call in the middle of the night when something goes wrong."
The Car
As mentioned earlier, it was a Competition Yellow '90 coupe—one of only 171 coupes (and 278 Corvettes overall) sprayed the color that year before a problem caused Chevrolet to pull the plug on it. The car was also somewhat rare, with the ZF six-speed manual transmission and Z51 suspension, as well as the G92 Performance Axle Ratio with 3.07 gears. It had about 117,000 miles on the clock—not low, but not crazy-high, either.
I spotted the car on Craigslist's Tacoma, Washington, site and had another auto-writer friend from the Seattle area, Bruce Caldwell, inspect it for me. I live in suburban Detroit, so I couldn't check it out in person, but I had already planned out the road trip from Seattle back to the Motor City in my mind. That was before the C4 pessimists started in on me. And to be honest, the car had (and still has) a few issues to work out, including the common problems of an air-bag warning light that won't turn off and a tachometer that reads too high.
A few minutes on a couple of popular Corvette forums had me sufficiently spooked about the car's quality to give me pause about the trip, but I'd done similar drives in far more marginal cars. These included an overheating '75 BMW and a four-cylinder Ford that broke a piston ring 50 miles out of Seattle and sucked down 40 quarts of oil on the drive back to Michigan. Nevertheless, I stuffed a couple of ACDelco fuel-pump relays in my suitcase, just in case. Militating in the car's favor were essentially new tires, a new clutch, and fresh brakes.
Road Trip—Day One
After crashing on the couch of an ex- college roommate just outside of Seattle, I hit the road on a soggy, characteristically Northwest Monday morning. In fact, it was pouring. I had a passenger for the first 250 miles or so, as another friend, John, tagged along until Spokane. He was not a car guy.
"So, this is a Corvette, huh?" he said. "I've never ridden in one. Pretty cool."
"Yes," I replied. "Thanks."
"Do they still make Corvettes?"
"Um, yes, John. As a matter of fact, they do."
"Does it have a V-8 engine?" he asked.
I almost changed the conversation to politics, but then he asked a relevant question: "How's the gas mileage?"
\Good question. I didn't know. We filled up before we left, and I wouldn't check again until after I'd dropped him off in Spokane. But at a gas station in Missoula, Montana, I ran the numbers and was pleasantly surprised at the 24.8-mpg average that included several high-elevation mountain passes, non-stop rain, and a few wet, heavy snowflakes. Not bad at all.
I was also happy to make nearly 400 miles without a problem. The L98 small-block pulled the car along I-90 with effortless aplomb, although the Z51 suspension's stiffness didn't make for the smoothest ride, and clambering over those mile-wide sills to drop into or climb out of the C4 cabin wasn't the most comfortable or dignified of exercises. In fact, as we noted in a recent tech story, C4 drivers pulling themselves up by the steering wheel can prematurely wear out the tilt-steering knuckle, causing a loose feeling in the wheel and the tendency for it to "drop" down and to the left.
01| Mile zero, in suburban Seattle. The '90 Competition Yellow coupe was equipped for track-day fun, with the Z51 Performance Handling Package, the G92 Performance Axle Ratio, and the ZF six-speed manual transmission. The purchase price was $6,000, which included essentially new tires, clutch, and brakes. Mileage was about 117,000. 02| The clouds give Seattle its characteristic moodiness. Cue the Pearl Jam tunes. 03| The weather at the outset of the trip wasn't ideal, with heavy rain and snow up in the mountain passes. The Vette soaked up the wet roads effortlessly, averaging just about 25 mpg on the first leg. 04| Driving the C4 hundreds and hundreds of miles every day was comfortable when the pavement was smooth, but the very-stiff Z51 suspension could be jarring on broken pavement. Nevertheless, fatigue wasn't an issue. 05| Healthy eaters, avert your eyes. This trip was made a couple of weeks after Easter, so all the stores had leftover candy at giveaway prices. The white-chocolate bunny was supposed to be a gift for the author's wife, but it didn't make it out of North Dakota.

The third time I used it I sealed it exactly how you're supposed to and noticed water was getting on my phone. I think it was condensation being that the phone is electronic and it gets hot.

Josh Thomson Addresses Nate Diaz Directly in Lates Interview: " We can fight again but you didn't make weight the first time"
Read more at Exclusive | Josh Thomson Addresses Nate Diaz Directly In Latest Interview: 'We can fight again, but you didn't make weight the first time' | BJPENN.COM RADIO MMA News | Mixed Martial Arts | UFC News | BJPenn | MMA Fight | UFC FightsNate Diaz made waves in the MMA community following his recent appearance on BJPenn.com Radio as he made several accusations towards the man who had just finished him inside the octagon, Josh Thomson. Diaz claimed Thomson made feminine noises while they fought, and that Thomson ran throughout the fight because he was, a guy whos running scared shitless for his life. While Diaz is rallying for a rematch with Thomson now and the interview has gotten plenty of publicity, Josh Thomson decided to come out with some pretty serious accusations of his own.
Thomson was featured on the latest episode of BJPenn.com Radio where he dropped this bomb on George and Pedro, Josh stated, I think the biggest thing is this; he is interested in a rematch with me, one thing he needs to remember before the fight even happened, he was complaining after weigh ins about how he was moving back up to 170, so he couldnt even make weight when we fought the first time. Nate knows this. Stop the presses! Diaz never made weight? That is quite the accusation indeed!
Thomson went on to address Diaz directly stating, I am going to say this directly to him; Nate, you didnt make the weight, so how are you going to make the weight when we fight again? Thats the thing thats discerning, we all let it slide because it was a huge fight, but you didnt make the weight and you still lost. So unless you plan on fighting me a 170 then Im not really interested. Like I said, Im looking forward to the title shot, Im looking forward to getting in there for the title. If I have to go through him again to do it, then so be it, maybe you should start watching what you eat, maybe you should start doing that to take care of yourself. You couldnt make the weight the first time and that was something I was going to keep to myself, but you want to start talking trash? Saying all these things, knowing that I beat you fair and square, I guess next time well take 20% of your purse if you dont make weight.
Its an issue I could have brought up and made a big deal about but I didnt do it because thats not the kind of person I am. I could have made a big fuss and taken it, rubbed some salt in the wound and taken 20% percent of your purse after you lost, but I didnt Thats the kind of person I am, I moved on and I suggest you do the same thing.

Texas Tech coach Pat Knight used a 12 year old boy as an example after his red raiders missed about 15 lay ups during a recent game. During a team huddle, while the game was in progress, Knight pulled a 12 year old from the stands and and asked the 12 year old if he could make a lay up. The boy said yes so knight told his team if a 12 year old can do it why cant 18 to 21 year olds do it.
Is this a good strategy or bad coaching move?
i think it is a stupid coaching move. Of course the kids can make layups of else they would not be playing high division one basketball. I think he was trying to isend a message but it was just not the right one.
They get scholarships to make lay ups. I like the move. Light a little fire underneath these kids. Pull their head out of the backsides.
Legend Status
I dont like the tactic i would like to see the 12 year old make a layup against a 6'8 defender. If it was wide open layups that is one thing. There are just nights when the shots dont fall. You should know that first hand gerolz when your patent move is just not smooth enough
it has never let me down, but this must be a consistent problem if he had a take such drastic measures during a game.
Legend Status
I think mr. knight might have to look at himself in the mirror to prepare his team better. He cannot go to those measures to prove a point. I really wonder what the texas tech adminstration thought about his tactic.
Those Knights, following in the footsteps. I hope he throws a chair across the floor next time.
i guess the apple does not fall far from the tree with the knights
I think I like the Bobby Knight school of coaching. Light a fire under the kids, whether its throwing a chair, punting the basketball, choking a kid during a game, I think it all works.
I wonder why some kids wanted to play for Coach Knight. Considering how he coached and the antics he used. I would have never. Was he anything like coach k cherokee?
Thats funny because coach K was an assistant for Bobby knight at army. So coach K is a prodigee of Bobby and I know he hold Bobby in high regard. I think kids want to play for Knight because he is a winner, he was three national titles, more than that bum from Carolina Dead Smith.
yo yo Cherokee thats a low blow. I almost went to Carolina and possibly played for Dean Smith but he said i needed a smoother finger roll. I would never play for Knight he would get on my nerves.
I guess your smooth baby hook wasnt good enough for Coach Smith.
Legend Status
Your picture looks like it is mj doing a finger roll. I guess his roll was smooth enough for coach smith.
thank you for sharing your knowledge .:) ?

Asia's third largest animal may be on the rebound

Surviving on the top of the world, in the Tibetan-Qinghai Plateau, the wild yak (Bos mutus) lives it life out in such obscurity that even scientists know almost nothing about it.
Bureaucratic reform plays a part in reducing deforestation in Indonesia
(01/17/2013) Reforming Indonesia's bloated and underperforming bureaucracy will play an important part in reducing the country's high rate of deforestation and forest degradation, the head of the country's Ministry of Administrative Reform told mongabay.com in an exclusive interview. Administrative Reform Minister Azwar Abubakar said that a smaller and more meritocratic bureaucracy will help cut corruption while more effectively governing the sprawling archipelago.
Bloodsucking flies help scientists identify rare, hard-to-find mammals
(01/16/2013) Last year scientists released a study that is likely to revolutionize how conservationists track elusive species. Researchers extracted the recently sucked blood of terrestrial leeches in Vietnam's remote Annamite Mountains and looked at the DNA of what they'd been feeding on: remarkably researchers were able to identify a number of endangered and rarely-seen mammals. In fact two of the species gleaned from these blood-meals had been discovered by scientists as late as the 1990s. In the past, trying to find rare and shy jungle animals required many man hours and a lot of funding. While the increasing use of remote camera traps has allowed scientists to expand their search, DNA sampling from leeches could be the next big step in simplifying (and cheapening) the quest for tracking the world's mammals.

New website tracks protected areas under attack
(01/16/2013) The struggle to safeguard wild lands and species doesn't end when a park or protected area is created. In fact, social scientists and conservationists are increasingly uncovering a global trend whereby even long-established protected areas come under pressure by industrial, governmental, or community interests. This phenomenon, recently dubbed PADDD (which stands for Protected Area Downgrading, Downsizing, and Degazettement), includes protected areas that see their legal status lowered (downgraded), lose a section of their land (downsized), or are abolished entirely (degazetted). Now, a new website from WWF seeks to track PADDD events worldwide.

(01/16/2013) A northern white-cheeked gibbon pair (Nomascus leucogenys) at the Wildlife Conservation Society's (WCS) Bronx Zoo have given birth to a brand new infant. This is the mother gibbon's 11th infant.
Rhino wars: documenting the poaching crisis in South Africa
(01/16/2013) In 2012 a record 668 rhinos were slaughtered by poachers in South Africa for the horns, which are used as scientifically-debunked medicine in Asia. Rhino poaching has hit record levels worldwide over the past few years, but no where is the carnage greater than South Africa, which houses well over half of the world's rhinos. Thus it's no surprise that when student filmmaker, Anne Goodard, arrived in South Africa to film zebra behavior, she quickly became enthralled by the dark and tragic drama surrounding the country's rhinos.
The secret to the surging popularity of sloths: viral Web videos
(01/16/2013) Sloths have been the beneficiary of a surge of popularity of late. A big part of that has been filmmaker Lucy Cooke's footage of baby sloths at the world's only sloth orphanage in Costa Rica. Posted on the Internet in 2010, a 90-second clip went viral and has now been watched millions of times. That video, called 'Meet the Sloths', 'attracted celebrity fans from Ricky Gervaise to Ashton Kutcher and turned the sleepy residents of the world's only sloth orphanage into international superstars,' according to Cooke.

How a text message could save an elephant or a rhino from a poacher
(01/15/2013) Soon a text message may save an elephant's or rhino's life. The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) is implementing a new alarm system in some protected areas that will alert rangers of intruders via a text message, reports the Guardian. Elephants and rhinos have been killed in record numbers across Africa as demand for illegal rhino horns and ivory in Asia has skyrocketed.
Landmines, chains, and hope: the elephants of Thailand
(01/15/2013) Few animals draw more compassion and awe from people than elephants. Highly intelligent, deeply social, and touchingly sensitive, elephants have much in common with human beings, despite their size and shape. Yet elephants around the world are still often abused and mis-treated, whether to entertain tourists or as victims of human strife. A new film, The Last Elephants in Thailand, sets out to document both the good and bad that elephants encounter in a world dominated by homo sapiens.
Forestry official: Indonesia should extend moratorium on new forest concessions
(01/15/2013) Despite opposition from the powerful palm oil industry, Indonesia should extend its two-year moratorium on new logging and agricultural concessions in carbon-dense peatlands and forests, said a top forestry official.
Photos: Neon blue dragon discovered in Vietnamese rainforest
(01/15/2013) German and Russian biologists have discovered a stunning new species of lizard in Vietnam. The species, dubbed Calotes bachae, is described in a recent issue of the journal Zootaxa. Calotes bachae is a type of agama, a group of lizards commonly known as 'forest dragons.'
Gold mine approved in French Guiana's only national park
(01/15/2013) Tensions have risen in the small Amazonian community of Saül in French Guiana after locals discovered that the French government approved a large-scale gold mining operation near their town—and inside French Guiana's only national park—against their wishes. Run by mining company, Rexma, locals and scientists both fear that the mine would lead to deforestation, water pollution, and a loss in biodiversity for a community dependent on the forest and ecotourism.
In the kingdom of the black panther
(01/15/2013) The black panther has a mythical aura: Rudyard Kipling chose the animal for one of his heroes in the Jungle Book, in the 1970s it became the symbol of an African-American socialist party, while comic guru Stan Lee selected the stunning feline for his first black superhero. But the real black panther isn't an actual species, instead it's a rare dark pigmentation found most commonly in leopards, but also occasionally in jaguars and other wild cats. The rarity of the black panther—not to mention its striking appearance—has added to their mystery. However, recent studies have found that black panthers, in this case 'black leopards,' are astoundingly common in one part of the world: the Malayan peninsula.
Saving manta rays from the fin trade
(01/15/2013) Tens of millions of sharks and rays are killed each year to meet demand for shark fin, a delicacy across East Asia. But while the plight of sharks has gained prominence in international environmental circles in recent years, the decline in rays has received considerably less attention. A new film, Manta Ray of Hope, aims to change that. Produced by cinematographer, scuba diver, and marine conservationist Shawn Heinrichs, Manta Ray of Hope offers a look at the mysterious and magnificent world of the world's largest ray, the manta ray. The film highlights both the threats mantas face as well as some of the people who are working to save them.
Saving the Arabian leopard, the world's smallest leopard
(01/14/2013) Today most people are more likely to associate Yemen with warfare and bizarre terrorism plots rather than wildlife. But Yemen is home to a surprising diversity of animals, including a population of the world's smallest leopard: The Arabian leopard (Panthera pardus nimr). Native to the Arabian Peninsula, the Arabian leopard is today extremely rare — less than 200 animals are thought to survive in the wild. Despite the cat's precarious position, there is relatively little local enthusiasm to protect a species that is widely seen as a threat to livestock. Nevertheless one man in Yemen is trying to boost the value of leopard in the eyes of local people. David Stanton, an American teacher living in Yemen, had devoted his life to saving the Arabian leopard.
Malaysian candidate pledges to drop controversial dam in Sarawak if elected
(01/14/2013) Malaysia's current opposition leader, Anwar Ibrahim, has pledged to cancel the controversial Baram Dam in Sarawak if upcoming general elections sweep him into the office of Prime Minister. Ibrahim made the announcement while visiting the state of Sarawak, located on the island of Borneo, over the weekend, according to the indigenous rights NGO, Bruno Manser Fund.
Climate change already pummeling U.S. according to government report
(01/14/2013) Climate change is on the march across the U.S. according to a new draft report written by U.S. government scientists with input from 240 experts. It documents increasing and worsening extreme weather, rising sea levels, and ocean acidification among other impacts. Released Friday for public review, the report will be officially launched later this year or early in 2014.
Common toads ravaged by killer disease in Portugal
(01/14/2013) The chytrid fungus—responsible for millions of amphibian deaths worldwide—is now believed to be behind a sudden decline in the common midwife toad (Alytes obstetricans), according to a new paper in Animal Conservation. Researchers have detected the presence of the deadly fungus in the Serra da Estrela, north-central Portugal, home to a population of the midwife toad.
Scary caterpillar fungus could lead to new cancer drug
(01/14/2013) Cordyceps sinensis, commonly known as caterpillar fungus, may be a groundbreaking new treatment for a number of life-threatening conditions including asthma, kidney failure and cancer according to a paper recently published by The RNA Society. If you're a caterpillar of the Tibetan Plateau, the fungus Cordyceps is your worst nightmare. It hits you when you're most vulnerable, during hibernation. You can try to stay awake, but on the Tibetan plateau, which reaches −40 degrees Celsius during the winter, you'll have to hibernate sooner or later, and the fungus will be waiting for you.
A second look at 'Fewer, Richer, Greener: The End of the Population Explosion and the Future for Investors'
(01/14/2013) Fewer, Richer, Greener: The End of the Population Explosion and the Future for Investors (November/December 2012, Vol. 68, No. 6: 20–37), by Mr. Laurence B. Siegel provides us with a commentary of population explosion and green investment opportunities over the long-run.

Rhino poaching hits new record in 2012
(01/11/2013) 668 rhinos were killed in South Africa during 2012 according to new figures released by the South African government. The total, which represents a 49 percent rise over the 448 killed in 2011, reveals the heavy toll the black market trade in rhino horn is taking on one of Africa's best known and most endangered animals.
Throwing our food away: Up to 50% of the food produced worldwide is wasted
(01/10/2013) A new report titled 'Global food, waste not, want not' published by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers has found that 30 to 50% of all food produced in the world never reaches a stomach.
NGOs call on Obama Administration to suspend Arctic oil drilling after series of blunders
(01/10/2013) A coalition of 17 conservation groups are calling on the Obama Administration to suspend offshore oil and gas drilling in the Arctic after Shell's attempt to drill there has been undermined by a series of mishaps. Shell's long stream of problems was capped this month when the company lost control of its drilling rig which ran aground on Sitkalidak Island in southern Alaska. Officials have now warned that up to 272 gallons of diesel fuel may have spilled from the rig's lifeboats.
Colombia to double the size of massive Amazon reserve to include uncontacted tribes' land
(01/10/2013) Colombia may more than double the size of the remote and poorly-known Chiribiquete National Park to make it the biggest protected area in the Colombian Amazon, reports El Espectador. Chiribiquete best known for its unusual rock formations, including mesa-like tepuis and dramatic waterfalls, but also features at least 32 cave painting sites with some 250,000 drawings, making it a key center for indigenous culture.
Dead tigers, dead people: logging by paper industry worsens human-tiger conflict in Sumatra, alleges report
(01/10/2013) Destruction of rainforests and peatlands on the Indonesian island of Sumatra by the pulp and paper industry is worsening conflict between tigers and humans, including fatal encounters, alleges a new report published by a coalition of environmental groups in Riau, Sumatra. The report looks specifically at five concessions operated by companies that supply wood to Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) and its corporate parent, the Sinar Mas Group (SMG). The report says that the majority of human-tiger conflict incidents in Riau between 1997 and 2009 occurred within these concessions.
Paradigm shift needed to avert global environmental collapse, according to author of new book The Blueprint: Averting Global Collapse
(01/10/2013) Global strategist, trained educator, and international lecturer Daniel Rirdan set out to create a plan addressing the future of our planet. His book The Blueprint: Averting Global Collapse, published this year, does just that. "It has been a sixty hour a week routine," Rirdan told mongabay.com in a recent interview. "Basically, I would wake up with the burden of the world on my shoulders and go to sleep with it. It went on like this for eighteen months." It becomes apparent when reading The Blueprint that it was indeed a monumental undertaking.

Biofuel boom could lead to life-threatening ozone pollution
(01/09/2013) Not long ago biofuels were seen as one of the major tools to combat climate change, but a large number of studies in recent years have shown that many first generation biofuels may have little climate benefit—and some are actually harmful—and are also linked to rising food prices. Now, a new study in Nature Climate Change warns that biofuels using fast-growing trees (polar, willow, and eucalytpus) could also exacerbate ground-level ozone pollution.
Australia reels from record heatwave, fires
(01/09/2013) Yesterday Australia recorded its highest average temperature yet: 40.33 degrees Celsius (104.59 Fahrenheit). The nation has been sweltering under an unprecedented summer heatwave that has spawned wildfires across the nation, including on the island of Tasmania where over 100 houses were engulfed over the weekend. Temperatures are finally falling slightly today, providing a short reprieve before they are expected to rise again this weekend.
New giant flying frog discovered near city of 9 million
(01/09/2013) Jodi Rowley is no stranger to discovering new amphibians—she's helped describe over 10 in her short career thus far—but still she was shocked to discover a new species of flying frog less than 100 kilometers from a major, bustling Southeast Asian metropolis, Ho Chi Minh City. Unfortunately, the new frog, dubbed Helen's tree frog (Rhacophorus helenae), may be on the verge of extinction, according to the description published in the Journal of Herpetology.

Giant squid caught on video
(01/08/2013) Last summer, after 55 dives, three scientists in a submarine off the coast of Japan encountered an animal people have mythologized and feared for thousands of years: the giant squid. According to the researchers with Japan's National Science Museum they managed to capture the first footage ever (see below) of a giant squid in its natural habitat, although photos were also released in 2005 of a giant squid feeding.
Kenya suffers it worst elephant poaching incident yet
(01/08/2013) Over the weekend Kenya suffered its single worst elephant poaching incident when poachers killed an entire family of elephants. In all, eleven elephants were gunned down and had their tusks removed. Among the dead was a two-month-old calf. The elephants were killed in Tsavo East National Park.

Environment ministry drops copper mine in Zambezi park
(01/07/2013) A proposed copper mine set to be built in Lower Zambezi National Park has been rejected by Zambia's environmental management agency. Australian company Zambezi Resources Ltd, a subsidiary of Proactive Investors, had scheduled the $494 million Kangaluwi Copper Project to begin production in 2015. But their proposal sparked an outcry from environmentalists and government lobbyists concerned about the effects of the open pit mine in the park. Though mining is not generally permitted in the park, Zambezi Resources obtained a Large-Scale Mining License from the government which would have allowed them to mine for 25 years right in the middle of Lower Zambezi National Park.
Botanists discover cave-dwelling plant
(01/07/2013) The South China Karst region resembles a lost world with its stone forests and towering limestone formations that look like petrified skyscrapers. Standing at the edge of one of the region's many vine-covered gorges, you could picture an apatosaurus lifting its head above the mist that blankets the gorge floor. Of course, that would be impossible, but what botanists recently found in the region was only slightly less surprising (to botanists). Near the back of a limestone cave, pink flowers bloomed on a newly discovered nettle that could survive on just a tiny fraction of the sunlight other plants receive. As Ian Malcolm in Jurassic Park said, "life will find a way."
Mercury hurts birds and people: what we can learn from studying our feathered friends
(01/07/2013) Birds aren't that different from people. We learn from our parents, just like zebra finches learn songs from their fathers. We are active and noisy during the day, like birds, and we can also be territorial. Also like birds, we try to attract mates through colorful displays and beautiful songs. Birds are sensitive to pollution in their environment just like we are: harmful elements such as mercury wreak similar havoc on human and bird biology alike. Because our species share so many attributes, studying birds illustrates the connections between them and us.

Between Two Worlds: Tears for the Unheeded Wisdom of Elders
(01/06/2013) It was September 1990 and I was flying, blissfully high on a sea of books, their rich smells, colors and textures heady like incense, in Blackwell's Bookshop on Broad Street, Oxford. I had been thrilled just to arrive in Oxford a week before, fresh from the forests of northeastern Tasmania. I had won a scholarship to study at the Oxford Forestry Institute and here I was, ready and eager but frustrated that the course didn't begin for another week. Grown from humble beginnings, Oxford was a whole new world to me, one of potential, of learning, history, of new experiences promised, new thinking to embrace.

STUDENTS have been advising Westmorland General Hospital on how it can provide more cost-effective and 'greener' heating.
Sixth-formers from Ripley St Thomas Church of England Academy in Lancaster worked with Morecambe Bay NHS Trust on the 'Hands On' project for eight months.
The pupils investigated the hospital's annual energy consumption to see how it could be done differently to cut carbon emissions and suggested using local suppliers as one option.
TWO crashes on the cycling track drew concerned gasps from a crowd of 3,000 people who turned out to enjoy the traditional Ambleside Sports at Rydal Park.
In the first collision a young rider came off his bike and was winded. But in the true spirit of the sports, he got up and was back on his bike for the next race.
This was followed by a more serious incident which resulted in a rider cracking his ribs when a cyclist hit him as he crossed the track.
The forecasted rain came for just half an hour but it failed to dampen the atmosphere as spectators were treated to a feast of traditional sports including Cumberland and Westmorland wrestling, hound trailing, fell racing and cycling.
Maryport's Ricky Lightfoot smashed the course record in the nine-mile Heart of the Lakes Rydal Round which takes in much of the Fairfield Horseshoe and 3,000ft of climb. He came home in 1 hour 17 minutes and 39 seconds, which was two minutes and 50 seconds faster than Alastair Dunn's best mark set in 2009.
Lightfoot, running for Ellenborough, edged clear of the field after the first climb and finished three minutes clear of Borrowdale's Jim Davies with Howgill Harrier Carl Bell in third. Fiona Hughes was the first lady back in 1.38.07.
"It was a bit windy but getting up on the field on top of Fairfield I was able to pull away," said Lightfoot. "I had been injured on and off for the last month but I got some training in and it was a big test. I took a few wrong turns at the start but managed to get back and then I just pulled away from the pack."
The senior men's guides race was won by the Isle of Man's Lloyd Taggart (Dark Peak) in 14.24. He was shadowed closely by Helm Hill's Mark Addison (14.33) who was unable to hang on as the pair dropped back into Rydal Park with Alastair Dunn finishing third in 15.05. First lady was Helm Hill's Mel Hyder (18.50) who led home Moorfoot's Scout Adlin (19.10) and Rossendale's Emma Flanagan (20.00).
Cumberland and Westmorland Wrestling has a new world champion in James Hall, 17, of Langwathby.
Hall, who trains at the Milnthorpe Boxing Academy, beat Ben Brocklebank in the final and was thrilled to win the championship at his fourth attempt.
"I have tried to win for a few years and only came fifth last year, so to win now is something else," he said.
"Ambleside Sports is one of the most traditional games around and it offers a really good contest."
SPACE pirate and alien life forms could soon be seen zooming around the Lake District – thanks to a new million dollar movie.
Old Hutton writer and director Rick McLeod has teamed up with a group of American producers to make a science fiction film based on cult television series Firefly.
The US consortium, one of whom has done sound-tracks for Mr McLeod in the past, originally began filming experimental sequences in county – but then the idea turned into a feature-length film.
Although $1 million is a relatively small budget for a movie, Mr McLeod said he was 'shocked' when the group gave the figure.
"Last year was a good one for us – we're still reeling from that – so when they approached me my first question was 'Are you serious?'
"It's not easy to make films in Cumbria, especially with the UK Film Council gone. When we had Leslie Grantham here, he was unpaid because he loved the script.
"It's great to know that our hard work is starting to pay off."
The film, called Lost Transmission, follows the lonely adventure of Blake, captain of a mining ship, with no-one but his computer to talk to after war breaks out on Earth. But he leaves the planet to find life on other worlds.
Filming is expected to start in early 2012, and will be split between Cumbria and America.
CGI effects are already being worked on by the studio, which created a castle in the middle of Windermere in a previous flick.
Before filming begins in earnest, Mr McLeod is shooting a short promotional video with action sequences in Old Hutton.
And he is looking for '23rd century pirates' to star as extras in a fight scene on Sunday, to be led by a trained fight choreographer.
"We're seeking punks, goths and heavy rockers. Long or short hair, tattoos and piercings are a bonus but not essential. The more outrageous the look the better," said Mr McLeod.
Filming will last for between two and three hours and anyone interested can email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Participants are requested to send a head shot with their email.
Discussions with actors to play the role of Blake are still going on.
A LANDMARK Forestry Commission conservation project has entered a new chapter with the arrival of 30 more birds of prey in Grizedale Forest.
Red kites were successfully reintroduced to the heart of the Lake District in the summer of 2010. Now their numbers are set to double with new hatchlings arriving from the Forestry Commission's flagship breeding site in Rockingham Forest, Northamptonshire.
The latest group of juvenile raptors are spending a month gaining strength in a custom made pen at a secret location in the forest.
An expert Forestry Commission team is caring for the young birds and feeding them until they are ready to fly and fend for themselves.
Forestry Commission wildlife ranger Iain Yoxall, who has led the project to reintroduce red kites into Grizedale, said: "The release of the first 30 birds last year was a momentous sight and has given us cause for great confidence in the project.
"We are feeding the new arrivals on a variety of food, with the staple diet and nourishment coming from dead grey squirrel, rats and mice. The birds of prey are primarily scavengers in the wild and feed mostly on carrion.
"We will care for the hatchlings for three or four weeks until they have grown strong enough to take wing, giving them the best possible opportunity to thrive in the wild.
"Before release, we have a vet on hand to give each of the birds a full health screening which includes delousing, worming, visual inspections and blood tests.
When the birds are released, they carry tags on each wing, an orange one on the left to show they are from Grizedale, and one on the right to indicate the year of release – white ones for 2011.
The Grizedale birds also carry radio transmitters to allow the forest's rangers to monitor their progress and the scheme's success, but the Forestry Commission is keen for people to report sightings of the birds to help judge their movements and support the project.
The Forestry Commission North West England has been granted a special licence to release 90 red kites in Grizedale Forest over a three year period. The latest arrivals mark the second phase of the landmark final reintroduction of the birds in England. There will be another 30 birds released in 2012.
Red kites were almost eradicated from the UK following changes in farming practices and human persecution between the 16th and 19th centuries. The UK population is now expanding and there are thought to be over 1,000 pairs of the birds in the country.
There have been sightings of the tagged Grizedale birds in Dumfries and Galloway to the north and as far away as East Sussex in the south.
The arrival of the birds co-incides with a critical report by the Veterinary Association for Wildlife Management which describes re-introduction programmes as "potential man-made threats to biodiversity."
Bird experts from organisations like Natural England, the RSPB and the British Association of Shooting and Conservation have come together to form a special advisory group to help ensure the project's success.

Why I Teach
Education is a partnership between students, professors and a learning institution. By using a university's resources and combining them with my own life experiences and knowledge, students are able to accelerate their acquisition of understanding and skills that might otherwise take a lifetime of research and trial and error.
As I pass along my knowledge and experience to young people, they inspire me to learn and understand their world as well as my own.

Let's face it: The LS platform is a pretty sophisticated thing. A lot of brainy folks in lab coats worked feverishly to make the LS produce excellent power combined with good mpg and clean emissions. Then there is the big-block, whose massive cubic inches and Godzilla-like torque numbers seem go with muscle cars like peas and carrots.
Even though the LS is the new kid on the street and the Rat ruled it with shear size, the granddaddy of them all, the traditional small-block, is still a force to be reckoned with. It's not a hard thing to imagine, considering since the small-block can be built just about anyway you want, stock, budget, gnarly, and so on. We know the small-block pretty much started it all and will be around much longer than these pages you are reading now. We decided to show a little love to our favorite mouse and find the 15 newest products out in the market today. We have everything from dress up items to rotating assemblies and just about everything in between.
1. Billet Specialties new Streamline air cleaners and valve covers offer a fresh new look for your engine compartment. The air cleaners and valve covers are capped off with a 3D machined wing nut and single raised rib complement any exterior trim cues. Available finishes include satin black powdercoat with a polished billet trim strip and also a ready to finish with a polished billet trim strip. The ready to finish is bead blasted and ready for you to paint or powder coat. Stainless hardware is included.
Billet Specialties
2. The new Comp Cams Ultra-Gold ARC series aluminum rocker arms has design updates and new features that take it to a whole new level. The rockers feature an arced, recessed, contoured design to increase engine power, enhance valvetrain stability and improve oiling, while still fitting under stock valve covers. A new arched channel and contoured top, similar to a bridge design, give the rockers the best strength-to-weight ratio possible. The body has additional CNC contouring to improve clearances for valve covers and springs. Manufactured entirely in the USA, all Ultra-Gold ARC series aluminum rocker arms feature a spring oiler channel through the body for improved lubrication. Trunnion retaining clips have been replaced with an ultra durable spiral lock type clip, similar to what holds a piston pin in place. Stress relieving radii have also been added to areas of the body, trunnion and pushrod seat insert. Even the included locking nuts have been revised to increase surface area to better maintain lash and eliminate wear.
Comp Cams
3. Dart's Special High Performance Group has developed pre-engineered, dyno-tested top end combinations that make it easy to build a powerful and durable performance engine at a very affordable price. Based on Dart's new Special High Performance aluminum cylinder heads, the kits include assembled SHP heads with stainless steel valves, springs and related hardware, a Dart intake manifold, chrome valve covers, gaskets, fasteners and even spark plugs. The SHP heads are cast and machined in the USA from premium A356-T6 alloy and are available with your choice of 180cc or 200cc intake ports and 64cc or 72cc combustion chambers to provide versatility for different engine combinations. Designed to work with most off-the-shelf pistons and headers, the SHP heads are a true bolt-on package, which offers significant performance gains and legendary Dart quality. These performance-matched top end kits are ideal for completing one of Dart's short-block assemblies or upgrading an existing engine.

Pure JavaScript client side validation is the simplest but least feature-rich type of Client Side Validation. This type of validation uses 100% client-side JavaScript code to try to validate the values entered by the user. Because the validation logic is actually repeated in the JavaScript code, it is important to understand that some values will be considered acceptable by the JavaScript code but will be marked as unacceptable by the server-side Validation.
Only the following validators are supported:
Because client side validation does not talk to the server, the theme (xhtml theme or css_xhtml theme) is responsible for properly manipulating the HTML DOM to display the error message inline. The JavaScript that is responsible for doing this logic is
validation.js and can be found in each theme.
If you wish to add additional validator support beyond those listed, you may override the xhtml theme teamplte
form-close-validate.ftl. This file contains the JavaScript that tries to validate each user-entered value from within the browswer. The css_xhtml theme extends the xhtml theme and therefore doesn't have it's own form-close-validate.ftl template.

Journal Abstracts
Unlimited access to full-length articles is included with membership. Click memberships to become a member.
In this creative look into the future, the author offers a scenario in which giving birth without medical intervention is deemed to be ideal. The scene starts in the year 2010 with an interdisciplinary conference to discuss the need to control the rate of caesarean birth. The effects of the Utopian attitude are evaluated in 2031. Interestingly, outsiders had been at the root of the miraculous solutions unanimously adopted in this country. This essay presents a thought-provoking approach that will have you creating your own version of Utopia.
Currently, the rate of circumcision is declining in the United States (The Circumcision Reference Library, n.d.). Estimates vary from one in six men circumcised worldwide (Dunsmuir and Gordon, 1999) to one in three according to a 2008 report from the World Health Organization. This paper explores the historical roots of circumcision and where the procedure stands today, from a practical and an ethical perspective. The current debate over whether to circumcise or not to circumcise young males is explored through the lens of a prenatal and perinatal psychology student.
Part I - Introduction: Prenatal Bonding BA (*Bindungsanalyse by Raffai) provides the possibility of creating an intense bonding between mother and fetus, of being witness to the development of the fetus in the womb, to realize early prenatal traumas as well to have the chance for immediate healing. In this respect the method is at the same time an instrument of pre- and perinatal research, an empowerment of bonding between mother and fetus and a great help for giving birth much more easily.
This article presents an expanded paradigm for understanding the pervasive impact of subtle parent-child interactions that cause experiences of shock, trauma, and stress during the first three years of life. Drawn from quantitative, qualitative, applied evidence-based practice, case formulation research methods, and a comprehensive review of related research, it uses the term "developmental trauma" to describe these early experiences. The article also places shock, trauma, and stress on a continuum and charts their impact on the development of individuals, couples, and families.
The death of a twin in the womb is traumatic for the mother. Pre- and perinatal psychology emphasizes the importance of a calm and stress-free pregnancy for the mother, so that the child will not be badly affected. The loss of one or more fetuses from a twin or multiple conception is unavoidably stressful. However, with full knowledge of the implications of such a death on all the parties involved and the opportunity to mourn the death openly, the stress on the pregnant mother can be reduced. Ways to reduce the stress on the mother are described.
In recent decades perinatal clinical psychology and infant research has shown how neurological maturation of the newborn and infant brain is due to learning from maternal care: properties of baby's mind development are conditioned by maternal care, and the baby's primary mental development conditions the future child and adult mental development. Research has also shown that maternal care may be modulated by childbirth pain. The experience of pain may increase and enrich maternal care, and its suppression may depress the mother's ability in maternal care.
Abstract:Perinatal clinical psychology deals with infant mental development, primary parent-child relationships, and problems related to nurturing and parenting activities of the woman and the couple during the prenatal and neonatal period. Its aims are promoting positive influences and preventing risk elements for the child's development and for the parents raising the child, thus providing support to primary relationships. Perinatal clinical psychology studies intra-psychic, interpersonal, and trans-generational mental processes.
The Perinatal Application of Synthetic Oxytocin and its Possible Influence on the Human Psyche and the Etiology of AutismAbstract:Autism is currently occurring in one in 10,000 children in Europe. The incidence in the US has been steadily increasing over the last years to a figure at least 4 times as high. It has become an issue of primary importance for modern society. Oxytocin is a hormone produced by the body, which is released in the posterior pituitary gland and controls a number of bodily functions. However, since the 90's, its psychoactive component is being investigated and is becoming very meaningful in diagnosis and therapy of both psychiatry and psychology.
Clinical observations indicated that those psychiatric patients who survived when a preborn sibling died were adversely affected by the experience. It seemed that being a survivor of a pregnancy loss, particularly abortion, contributed to psychiatric illnesses. Data was collected from a sample of 293 adults - 98 patients and 195 counseling trainees. A self-report questionnaire with visual analogue, rating, and descriptive questions was used to ascertain the extent of common psychiatric symptoms.
Is Maternal Personality and Coping Style Related to Breech Presentation? Evaluating the Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Models of Risk Factors for Breech PresentationAbstract:
We investigated maternal personality characteristics and coping style as potential risk factors for breech presentation in this case-control study. Mothers of cephalic presentation babies (n=72) and mothers of breech presentation babies (n=42) participated in a socio-demographic survey, the State Trait Personality Inventory (STPI), and an in-depth interview. In-depth interview results suggested mothers of breech presentation were more likely to be idealistic, analytical, overextended, and fearful; also less likely to be flexible.

Mr. Blood: Boy if you are stupid enough to step into a ring against us the only thing your retarded ass is gonna "get" is broken. Let me say this real slow, so you can be sure to understand, keep your fucking head down, and stay out of our way, because facing us will be the last stupid thing you do on God's Green Earth.
Mr. Black: You understand boy?
Mr. Blood: We didn't become the JBW tag team champions by playing nice and dancin for the inbred pieces of shit who pay to see us. We didn't survive the complete destruction of HWA and ICW by talking like Flavor Flav having a seizure, we have Dominated in every fucking company we are in because we are the meanest, roughest, toughest sons of bitches to ever step foot in a wrestling ring and there ain't a team here, no many how many jackasses you got, that can take us out. It's true we had a momentary setback at IVWT, but that situation is gonna be fixed real fucking quick.
Mr. Black: Mixed Emotions got somethin of ours.
Mr. Blood: So right now I will let you off light, because we got bigger shit to deal with and to be honest, you ain't nothin but another fucking kid who spent too much time jacking off to Eminem. You keep pushing your luck however, and we will fucking end you.
Mr. Black: Understood?

Now is a great time to pick up one of the crawlies in our DOG DAYS OF SUMMER SALE running from August 16th through August 20th. . One great little guy for your patio or deck might be our Sun Bathing Lizard Cast Iron Garden Statue. He is done in strong cast iron and sits on a lovely light rock, just sunning away and having a lazy time.
People are always talking about our cute and lifelike animal sculptures which are done in realistic detail and all hand painted, like our Meerkat statue. We now have a new collection of marvelous puppies in various breeds and one of the cutest is our Dalmation Puppy Dog Statue. He is hand painted and shows his spots, but the really interesting element is his eyes, they actually seem to be looking back at you. You can pick up this cute puppy and many other things at our DOG DAYS OF SUMMER SALE running from August 16th through August 20th.
Large animals are certainly a Design Toscano forte such as our giraffes, dinosaurs and outdoor elephant statues. We also have one that perhaps is not quite as majestic, but extremely eye catching. This is our Bad Intentions Giant Warthog Garden Statue who stands 27" tall and has the eyes of a gargoyle. He has a long snout and great horns and while not the prettiest thing in the garden, he'll be the most discussed. Get him at our DOG DAYS OF SUMMER SALE running from August 16th through August 20th.
