Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The son of the leading Hamas figure in Judea and Samaria (the so-called "West Bank") said in an interview with Ha'aretz that he has converted to Christianity and repented of his sins for being an active part of a culture of hate and death that targeted God's Chosen.
Massab Yousef, son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, spoke to the Israeli newspaper from a cafe in California. He knows that he can never return to visit his family in Ramallah without facing certain death.
Saying that he now prefers to be called "Joseph," the young man urged his Jewish interviewer and the entire nation of Israel to beware of phony peace gestures by Hamas or any other Arab authorities that are ultimately guided by Islam.
"You Jews should be aware: You will never, but never have peace with Hamas. Islam, as the ideology that guides them, will not allow them to achieve a peace agreement with the Jews," he said. "They believe that tradition says that the Prophet Mohammed fought against the Jews and that therefore they must continue to fight them to the death."
Massab said it is adherence to Islam that has turned Palestinian and wider Middle East Arab society into one that "sanctifies death and the suicide terrorists."
Massab's family later denied the report that he had become a Christian, and suggested that they are considering legal action against Ha'aretz.

All-Natural Lice Shampoos
6 All-Natural Lice Repellents Just in Time For Camp Season
6 All-Natural Lice Repellents Just in Time For Camp Season
There are few subjects that drive parents into a frenzy as much as the mere mention of the word lice. While the topic may be a dirty one, an infestation can occur on clean heads, too — and with Summer camp season under way, it's high time for the little critters to start jumping from head to head.
Though there's no one method that guarantees it will keep your tot's head free of nits, there are a growing number of over-the-counter shampoos, conditioners, and sprays that are believed to repel the bugs. We've rounded up six all-natural lice repellents that use ingredients like rosemary, citronella, and tea tree oils, rather than toxic chemicals, to help keep kids lice free this Summer. Keep reading for our top picks!

Open Court is CNN's monthly tennis show. Click here for videos, news and features.
(CNN) -- Amelie Mauresmo wants a second life -- one away from tennis.
After calling time on an illustrious playing career with two grand slams safely tucked away, the Frenchwoman is arguably just as entrenched in the game as she ever was.
Mauresmo is currently juggling roles as tournament director in Paris and captain of France's Fed Cup team, alongside coaching and commentating stints.
But the 34-year knows there will come a time when she walks away from the court once and for all, hopefully in the direction of her own vineyard.
"To be lucky enough to have lived one passion -- tennis -- is great but to learn many things and meet new people in a completely different area, atmosphere and world, why not?" she tells CNN's Open Court show.
"I have a high passion that is wine; I am a wine lover, I have a big wine cellar.
"I read a lot of things about wine from around the world and different regions in France. I check sometimes with friends of mine about the wine chateaus that are for sale."
A world away from the tranquil vines associated with France's verdant valleys is the slog of the professional tennis circuit -- Mauresmo's home for well over a decade.
As well as clinching those two major championships in 2006 -- the Australian Open and Wimbledon crowns -- she attained the coveted world No. 1 spot on several occasions and won a silver medal the 2004 Olympics.
But when injuries began to mount in 2009 and Mauresmo took the decision to quit the court, a whole new world presented itself to her.
"It was the pressure," she explains. "The pressure that came out of my shoulders was huge. I was finally able to live a normal life, let's say, to enjoy the things that I could not enjoy before.
"I also felt that I achieved as a tennis player everything that I could have done, so I think it made it quite easy for me to take the step out of it and to do other things.
"Honestly I was scared. (I thought) 'What am I going to do? Is it going to be exciting enough? How exactly is it going to be?'
"You are going into something and you have no clue what it is ... and I am really happy, I don't regret anything."
Fast forward five years and Mauresmo is still intrinsically linked with tennis.
In 2011 she was named tournament director of the GDF Suez Open in Paris, a competition she won three times as a player, before accepting the role of captain of France's national women's team in July 2012.
Read: Bartoli blossoms in Monet's garden
Mauresmo has a special place in her heart for the Fed Cup -- the female equivalent of the Davis Cup -- having won it in 2003, triumphing in all eight of her singles rubbers.
Alize Cornet, one of those involved in France's Group II win over Switzerland last month, says Mauresmo is the best captain she has ever played for.
She has also had success in her short coaching career, helping propel Marion Bartoli to the 2013 Wimbledon title before her compatriot's shock decision to quit the sport.
With 25 career singles titles to her name, and over $15 million accrued in prize money, Mauresmo's name was, and still is, indelibly marked into the fabric of the women's game.
"Tennis was all my life for 20 years," she says.
"I owe so much to tennis as a person also because I really grew up and learned many things, I was talking earlier about the relationships with people and the strong connections that you get.
"I love that also to go on this journey but not alone -- really having people next to me, beside me, guiding me, learning from them, listening to them and giving them some things -- the exchange and the connection you have is quite interesting.
"And on the sports side you develop the competitiveness that you have inside of you, you really let it out. It's an obsessive thing to be a professional athlete, it's something you think about all the time.
"It's everything you do, how you eat, how you sleep, what time you go to bed, the activities you do outside. It's all related with your tennis and it's something that is really taking all your life, and I also enjoyed it.
"It was a relief when it stopped but throughout your career it was really fulfilling you, and it's quite interesting."
Given the knowledge and experience she has, tennis will miss Mauresmo when she departs. And when she does, what memory from her playing days will she treasure most?
"Wimbledon in 2006," she replies, recalling a final in which she rallied from a set down to beat Justine Henin -- who had denied her Olympic gold in Athens -- and become the first Frenchwoman to win the prestigious title since Suzanne Lenglen in 1925.
"It was really the emotion, the exhilaration the relief, being so proud of what I did," Mauresmo adds.
"It was a feeling you really keep in yourself, you are not thinking about it every day in your life but it's something that belongs to you and you cherish.
"Getting a medal in the Olympics is huge, winning the Fed Cup for my country, being number one in the world also is an amazing achievement, all those things but yes I would put Wimbledon on top."

If an electrical contractor has an accident that cost $100,000, including medical costs, compensation, and lost productivity (with a profit margin of 3%), he/she would have to do $6 million worth of work just to break even, according to Dave Potts, director of safety and insurance for the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA). In response, NECA has created an affordable software solution to reach safety goals.
While a safety program can mean the difference between life and death for employees and businesses, while costing more than $17,000 for design and creation, NECA came up with a series of products for creating a custom safety program to suit any company's requirements at minimal cost. The safety software includes three modules: a safety manual module to enable users to create a customized safety manual; a record-keeping module to simplify the task of tracking employee accident and safety information; and a training module for hazardous waste training programs. For more information, visit the NECA web site at www.NECANeT.org or contact Dave Potts at (301) 215-4526.

FRIDAY, Feb. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Facing a firestorm of criticism from Catholic leaders, the Obama administration on Friday said it will adjust its health care guideline mandating that religious employers provide women with access to birth control.
In a shift from the current policy, the White House is now saying that these employers will not have to extend free access to birth control, but that insurance companies will be made directly responsible for doing so.
Women who request birth control will still be able to get it free of co-pays or premiums, but universities, hospitals and other institutions with religious affiliations can refuse to cover it, leaving the woman's insurance company with the responsibility of coverage.
In a press briefing Friday morning, an unnamed senior administration official called the move "an accommodation" to religious groups objecting to the policy, which still allows women access to birth control.
"We still have the exemption for employees at churches," the official said. "But all women will have access to free preventive care, including contraception, no matter where they work. That's the core principle that's at stake here."
The change appears to be the Administration's attempt to satisfy both sides on the issue -- religious leaders who object to providing contraception to employees, and those who wish to see that all women retain free access to birth control.
During a lunchtime press briefing, President Barack Obama explained the new position further.
"No woman's health should depend on who she is or where she works or how much money she makes," CNN reported Obama as saying. But "the principle of religious liberty" is also at stake. "As a citizen and as a Christian, I cherish this right."
"Under the rule, women will still have access to free preventive care that includes contraceptive service no matter where they work," Obama said, according to USA Today. "That core principle remains. But if a woman's employer is a charity or a hospital that has a religious objection to providing contraceptive services as part of their health plan. The insurance company -- not the hospital, not the charity -- will be required to reach out and offer the woman contraceptive care free of charge without co-pays, without hassle."
The White House first found itself embroiled in a political fight with Catholic Church officials after a Jan. 20 announcement that all religious-affiliated employers, with the exception of churches and other houses of worship, would have to cover free birth control as part of routine preventive care for women. These institutions were given until August 2013 to comply with the rule.
The announcement last month quickly met with a heated response from Catholic leaders nationwide, and Republican leaders in Congress promised quick legislation in Congress to stop the move. The decision also became a flashpoint for the presidential election race, as Obama's opponents labeled him as attacking religion. On the other side, groups representing women and health advocates pressured Obama to stand firm.
Under the revised plan, religious employers need not offer contraception or refer women to places that might provide it. In these cases, however, the woman's insurance company must fill in the gap and cover contraception free of charge.
The rule is in keeping with the Obama administration's health care reform law, which requires most insurance plans to cover women's preventive health services with no co-pay, starting Aug. 1, 2012.

Those posed portraits, candid shots and listings of senior superlatives make for fond memories each year for students at Lancaster High School.
The staff from the school's yearbook, The Rambler, are to thank for organizing and putting that information together throughout the year. And now, that recognition extends beyond the Bruin family.
The Rambler was recently selected as the best yearbook in the state by the S.C. Scholastic Press Association. The accolade is for the 2010 edition that came out last spring.
She has a shiny face, red lips, long hair and wears a pointy black hat.
Any other day, she'd be all orange, but on Thursday she became the Queen Witch of South Middle School.
That was the name given to one of the several carved and decorated pumpkins on display at the school Thursday.
Last week, South Middle held its Spirit Week, which culminated with a pumpkin-decorating contest. Faculty and staff were divided into 14 teams, and the students voted on which team's pumpkin they liked the best.
There's a slogan, written in Spanish, that Sandra Ovalles tells her students all the time. You can even find it from time to time on her blackboard.
It's "nada es imposible, todo es posible," which means "nothing is impossible, everything is possible" in English.
Ovalles believes you can achieve whatever you set your mind to, and she tries to help her students carry that same attitude – all through the teaching of language.
Some students achieve more success in the classroom when hands-on activities are built into daily lessons, while others may find it easier to work in small groups.
Finding what strategies work best for students and communicating those techniques to teachers is just part of what Wendy Bartell does.
The Buford Middle School literacy coach and instructional facilitator works daily with teachers and students. She helps teachers with their lesson plans, facilitates workshops and speaks to students about literacy.
Bartell said no two days are alike.
You won't find many textbooks in Kristal Salyer's class.
For the last three years, the fourth-grade Clinton Elementary School teacher has abandoned textbooks in three of the four main academic areas and adopted a student-driven approach.
By the numbers, her strategy appears to be working.
Salyer, who's in her fourth year at Clinton Elementary, is the 2010 Celebrate Great Teaching award winner for Lancaster County School District. The accolade is the district's highest honor for educators.
Despite a slow economy, Communities is Schools' annual School Tools supply drive was able to collect hundreds of school supplies that will benefit area school children in need.
The campaign, which collects pencils, notebooks and other items, began Aug. 1 and will end Tuesday.
This year, locals have been able to donate supplies at one of the BB&T locations in the county – on Main Street in Lancaster and off Charlotte Highway in Indian Land.
BB&T served as the lone drop-off location for the Communities in Schools (CIS) drive this year.
Dozens of students who didn't get the supplies they needed when school began will soon get a helping hand.
United Way of Lancaster County recently held its second annual Stuff the Bus school drive in which residents donated papers, pencils, crayons and other school supplies to collection spots throughout the county.
Those supplies benefit children served through the Lancaster County Outreach Project, which provides resources for neglected and abused children.
Remaining supplies will go to other Lancaster County School District children in need.
A group of rising kindergarteners interacted with their teacher and mingled amongst themselves as if they had been around each other for months.
If there were jitters about starting school, they weren't easy to detect. This group of youngsters appeared eager to be in the classroom.
The scene in Heather McManus' kindergarten class at Indian Land Elementary School was one that was seen across the school district last week, as teachers wrapped up this year's Countdown to Kindergarten program.
The Lancaster County Fire Chiefs Association recently announced the latest winners of its annual scholarship.
Sara Gardner and Meredith Hagins are the winners for the 2010 cycle, each receiving $500. They were presented their award July 22 at the association's regular meeting.
Each year, the association awards a $1,000 scholarship to one student or $500 to two.
Crystal Fields' recent trip to Washington, D.C., was more eventful than she thought it would be.
Fields, the lead ESOL (English as a Second or Other Language) teacher for Lancaster County School District, visited the nation's capital for two reasons June 22 through June 27.

Obama released his budget today, and in it he attempts to reduce the Federal Deficit by $1.7 trillion over 10 years, using a combination of spending cuts and increased taxes.
So what does the budget really look like?
We compared the numbers from the White House budget with the current CBO baseline of what budgets are currently expected to look like to figure out what he actually changes
For each key category, the level zero is the current projected funding level for the next ten years.
If a line goes above zero, the President's budget will spend more on it than current funding levels — or in the case of revenues, that number will be higher.
Just a primer:
- Revenues are money that flows into the government through taxes.
- Mandatory spending is programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and income security programs
- Defense discretionary is made up of funds given by congress to the defense department as well as several other departments with defense programs
- Non-defense discretionary funds go to all other executive functions besides defense action.
The general trend? Most of the lines on the budget exceed funding for the next two to three years (stimulus basically), then drop below projected funding levels following 2016 or 2017. So in other words, this represents the kind of stimulus-now, but-later budgeting that a lot of economists in Washington favor:

New Car Review Video
2013 Buick Enclave: New Car Review - Video
The 2013 Buick Enclave is the classic luxury crossover, an upscale marriage between a conventional family vehicle and a capable SUV, offering all-weather convenience, 7- or 8-passenger versatility and an abundance of comfort, style and practicality. For 2013, the Enclave has received a long overdue refresh, including sleeker headlights, a larger grille and redesigned LED taillights.
Premium Cabin
It's all about premium comfort and content within the Enclave. This crossover's spacious cabin is defined by quality materials and a high-level of fit and finish. Standard tech features include USB, Bluetooth, a color touch display and SiriusXM radio. But ultimately, how much technology you get depends on the option package you choose. Our recommendation is the Premium Group that includes a 10-speaker Bose audio system and rear-seat entertainment.
Overall, we like the three rows of seats. They're comfortable and easy to climb in and out of. But the third-row seat is tight and better suited for kids. We also found that backing up is a chore since rear visibility is less than generous.
Strong and Sure-Footed
The 2013 Enclave uses the same powertrain setup that we saw last year, a 3.6-liter, 288-horsepower V6 with a 6-speed automatic. It's enough to get the Enclave from 0 to 60 miles per hour in around eight seconds and provide more than adequate passing power. Front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive models are both available, but the Enclave is not for serious off-roading. It is, however, more than capable of handling wet or snowy roads.
Onboard safety features such as ABS, traction and stability control and the optional all-wheel drive make for a sure-footed and secure crossover in anyone's book.
Fuel economy ratings are 17 miles per gallon city/24 mpg hwy in front-wheel drive and 16 mpg city/22 mpg hwy in all-wheel drive.
A Fair Value
The base Enclave stickers at just over $38,000, and we think that's fair money for all that the Enclave offers. An uplevel Enclave with all-wheel drive starts at a little under $48,000. It makes sense to cross-shop the Enclave against the Acura MDX, the Volvo XC90 and the Ford Flex, all formidable competitors.
The Last Word
The 2013 Buick Enclave is blessed with most of what a luxury crossover shopper needs, as long as your driveway is your favorite off-road destination. This well-built crossover seems to ring all the right bells. It's plush, stylish and roomy enough for a good-sized family. It offers a solid driving experience, too.

World Bulletin/News Desk
Investigators have determined that ammonium nitrate was the cause of the explosion at a West, Texas, fertilizer plant last month that left 14 people dead and some 200 injured, a spokeswoman for the Texas state fire marshal's office said on Tuesday.
"The investigators have been able to narrow down the origin to the fertilizer and seed building on site, and we also know that what caused the explosion was the ammonium nitrate," said Rachel Moreno, a spokeswoman for the Texas State Fire Marshal's Office. "What we don't know is exactly why."
The fire marshal's office has been leading the investigation of the April 17 blast, along with the federal Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agency (ATF).
Ammonium nitrate is a dry fertilizer mixed with other fertilizers such as phosphate and applied to crops to promote growth. It can be combustible under certain conditions, and was used as an ingredient in the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 that left 168 people dead.

If you have or know a solar project, please submit it to us for consideration as a featured project using Submit an Item. http://www.solaripedia.com/302/submit-an-item.html
The low impact, organic design, woodland home built by Simon Dale in Wales conjures images of Hobbits baking bread in tiny hand-made ovens and friendly gatherings among the denizens of Middle Earth. But this extremely natural home also utilizes solar PV technology to bring lighting, music, refrigeration and computing power into this outgrowth of the forest. Dale and his father-in-law spent about four months and $6,000 building the home in 2008. Besides the PVs, they made it as sustainable as possible with oak, straw bale walls, roof and floor, a vegetated roof, and lime plaster on the walls.
Dale says the main tools used were a chainsaw, hammer and one-inch chisel. And he writes that he is not a builder or carpenter, with little experience other than building a similar house two years prior. He believes that constructing this kind of building is accessible to anyone. He views this building as one part of a low-impact or permaculture approach to life.
Some key points of the design and construction:
• Dug into hillside for low visual impact and shelter
• Stone and mud from diggings used for retaining walls, foundations etc.
• Frame of oak thinnings (spare wood) from surrounding woodland
• Reciprocal roof rafters are structurally and aesthaetically fantastic and very easy to do
• Straw bales in floor, walls and roof for super-insulation and easy building
• Plastic sheet and mud/turf roof for low impact and ease
• Lime plaster on walls is breathable and low energy to manufacture (compared to cement)
• Reclaimed (scrap) wood for floors and fittings
• Anything you could possibly want is in a rubbish pile somewhere (windows, burner, plumbing, wiring...)
• Woodburner for heating - renewable and locally plentiful
• Flue goes through big stone/plaster lump to retain and slowly release heat
• Fridge is cooled by air coming underground through foundations
• Skylight in roof lets in natural feeling light
• Solar panels for lighting, music and computing
• Water by gravity from nearby spring
• Compost toilet
• Roof water collects in pond for garden etc.

I think this house is still there - it looks like it's the one at the corner of Green Lane and the path leading to Brookfold Lane (the path is actually labelled 'Brookfold Lane' on Google Earth). I took a photo of the house in July last year and I'll email it to you.

This is interesting. My mother always referred to ABC Lane and I wonder if there was a name change at some point. I imagine my mother would be of the same age as the postcard you've shown so that would figure.

Glad to see the house is still there and looking every bit as beautiful... I've always liked the big bay windows on such homes... would look stunning at Christmas with a tree there.
ABC Lane got it's name from how allotments were allocated.. A. B. C. D and so on... and of course Hydonians then referred to it as ABC Lane... there's a post been done on the lane.

The 1950s
Important additions to the School's faculty in the late 1940s and early 1950s include two former soloists from Russia's Kiev State Theater of Opera and Ballet, Antonina Tumkovsky and Hélène Dudin. The pair establish the syllabus for children's division classes still in place at SAB today and become institutions at the school, each teaching for 45 or more years. Also new to the faculty during this era is Felia Doubrovska, former star of the Ballets Russes, who will strongly influence scores of young advanced female students at the School for the next three decades.
With the creation of The Nutcracker for New York City Ballet in 1954, Balanchine introduces the use of SAB's younger students in age-appropriate but sophisticated choreography on the professional stage. SAB's children have appeared in NYCB's Nutcracker annually ever since as well as a number of other ballets containing roles for children. In early 1956, the School relocates to larger studios at Broadway and 82nd Street on Manhattan's upper west side.

Defenders in Action: Senate Bill Betters Sea Otters' Odds
© Sebastian Kennerknecht/Minden Pictures
For the California sea otter, the struggle to survive is epic. After being hunted to near extinction about a century ago, these sleek marine mammals have struggled to recover—facing threats such as oil spills, fishing gear entrapment, food supply shortages and diseases.
Last spring U.S. Geological Survey scientists announced the disappointing results of the latest sea otter census: a decline in the three-year otter population average for the first time in more than a decade.
The good news is Sen. Barbara Boxer introduced the Southern Sea Otter Recovery and Research Act in October, which aims to ensure vital funding that could allow researchers to unravel the reasons behind the sea otter's decline.
"This bill couldn't come soon enough," says Jim Curland, Defenders' marine program associate and a long-time advocate for sea otter recover. "Sea otters are struggling. But I'm hopeful that this will be a bill that provides the lifeline that sea otters need to keep their heads above the water."
If passed, the legislation would authorize $5 million a year in research funding for five years.
"Sen. Boxer has been a longtime champion and supporter of sea otter research and conservation efforts and we greatly appreciate her leadership in introducing the act," says Curland.
California taxpayers can also help to fund research to save this iconic species by checking a box on their 2010 state income-tax form to donate any amount they desire, starting at $1. Last year, Californians donated more than $250,000.

It's difficult to over-emphasize how important fungi are, writes Dr David Minter, Chair of IUCN's intriguingly-named Cup Fungi, Truffles and their Allies Specialist Group. Their well-being is necessary for sustainable life on this planet. Without them, we're finished.
To take just one example, they are nature's recyclers. Like the municipal refuse collectors employed to remove our rubbish, we don't notice them until for some reason they stop. But—and it's scary—stopping is something they might just possibly do. Scientists have known for over 100 years that, like animals and plants, fungi too are affected by the destructive activities of mankind. There is already evidence that populations of many species are falling: the impact of air pollution on lichen-forming fungi is particularly well documented. Although there is still insufficient information about the conservation status of fungi, there is every reason to suppose they are just as vulnerable as other groups of organisms to habitat loss and climate change.
Misleading descriptions
Public awareness of their importance is, however, very low, not least because biodiversity—the full and wonderful diversity of life—is still widely portrayed as 'flora and fauna' or 'animals and plants'. These lazy and misleading descriptions can even be found on websites of major biological institutions and learned societies which should and do know better. Biodiversity is so much more than 'animals and plants'. The five kingdom classification of life, which recognizes fungi in a kingdom of their own, has been generally accepted by scientists since at least 1970 and, with an estimated 1.5 million species of fungi on this planet and a presence in all major ecosystems--freshwater, marine and terrestrial alike, this kingdom is megadiverse. There are far more fungi than all the plants and vertebrates put together. To ignore them is not a sensible option.
The broader conservation movement, however, remains largely unaware of the need to conserve fungi. Priority habitats for conservation, such as 'biodiversity hotspots', are almost always defined on the basis of bird, mammal and flowering plant diversity. Fungi don't get a look-in. This means that habitats rich in fungal diversity are missed and remain unprotected. Most nature reserve management plans do not take fungi into account. Fungi are often treated as part of the problem, rather than recognized as themselves being in need of protection. In many countries there is no explicit legal protection for fungi.
A daunting task
IUCN has recognized this problem and, in 2009, reorganized and expanded its Specialist Groups which provide coverage of fungi under the Species Survival Commission. Where there were two groups previously, there are now five, and where fungal Specialist Groups were formerly listed under 'Plants' they are now correctly grouped in their own independent category. Collectively, these groups have the daunting task of building an infrastructure for fungal conservation and raising awareness at all levels that fungi need to be protected.
When I came out of university, I was employed in an institution devoted to fungi, and it was my job to identify microscopic species sent in from all over the world. It was a privilege to see the wonderful diversity of these organisms and, with the constant arrival of specimens representing new species, my colleagues and I became increasingly aware that the fungi already known and described form only a tiny proportion of what is probably out there. Now, the generally accepted estimate is that over 90% of all the planet's fungal species still await discovery. Over the same period, a consistent and long-term failure at governmental level to support basic taxonomic research meant that my colleagues were not replaced when they left and, by 1999, the institution itself had ceased to exist. These are not easy conditions in which to promote fungal conservation.
Getting the message across
IUCN's fungal Specialist Groups need to get their message across to the public and their governments worldwide. It is particularly important to get fungi better recognized by the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). When it was adopted in 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit, laudibly, the CBD established the right to protection for all forms of life, and "all forms of life" includes fungi. Unfortunately, its text classified biodiversity as "animals, plants and micro-organisms"—two taxonomic kingdoms and a third category defined by size. Fungi belong in neither the animal nor plant kingdom, but they do include in their number some of the largest single living individuals known on earth. One genetically uniform colony of the toadstool Armillaria ostoyae in the Malheur National Forest of Oregon covers an area of almost 9 km2, making it far bigger than the blue whale or any of the great redwoods. The term micro-organism—that third category—therefore hardly seems appropriate.
Fungi simply do not fit these inadequate CBD definitions, and they are suffering as a result. Their right to protection has been established, but the convention has provided no machinery for ensuring it happens. Many national biodiversity action plans produced in response to the convention fail to consider fungi at all. The few which do usually treat them as 'lower plants'—an obscure corner of botany. The CBD designated 2010 as the International Year of Biodiversity, but the accompanying logo shows only animals and plants, and fungi are nowhere mentioned in the official video made to promote the year. This is a compelling and very public indication that, as presently organized, the CBD is not delivering protection for these critically important organisms. As David Hawksworth, one of the world's leading fungal experts so eloquently put it, fungi are truly "the orphans of Rio".
The rapidly declining resources available for work with fungal biodiversity made it clear that, to conserve fungi, the first step was to conserve mycologists—the scientists who work with these organisms—and the second step was to digitize existing information about when and where fungi occur, to provide an objective basis for future work. Outside the developed world, there are very few countries where mycologists can be found. Over 16 years, with funding from the UK Darwin Initiative, I ran projects which delivered support to those mycologists while digitizing vast numbers of fungal records. The results of that work are now available through the Cybertruffle website. Information about when and where fungi occur is delivered in 10 languages and there is also a digital library for mycology providing free and open access to over 320,000 pages of mycological literature. During those years and despite those efforts, mycologists themselves as a group have in many parts of the world become critically endangered.
The way ahead
The IUCN fungal specialist groups need to learn fast. They have to develop political expertise, where possible by learning from the experiences of other conservation bodies. They must also raise awareness of fungi among the CBD National Focal Points, and engage governments which are not signatories to the CBD, helping them to understand the importance of fungal conservation.
The groups should raise the profile of fungi, in part through a campaign to encourage biological institutions and societies to ensure that the language used in their promotional material properly reflects the true importance of fungi. The groups will work to identify, classify and publicise threats to fungi, and to identify important areas for fungi and impacts on human society which may occur as a result of fungal population declines and extinctions. They will also promote the message that, without taking fungi into account, the ecosystem approach to conservation is so severely compromised as to be invalid.
The groups must promote representation by mycologists on bodies concerned with biodiversity and conservation. If fungi are the "orphans of Rio", then mycology, like an orphan, enjoys little of the family wealth (mycologists are usually hidden away in obscure departments of botanical institutions, getting a very small share of resources), and mycology is rarely consulted on family matters by the biological sciences. Biodiversity initiatives should as a matter of course involve mycologists as equal players from their inception. At present, in general, they don't.
The big collective achievement of the IUCN fungal specialist groups since reorganization has been to play a leading role in establishing a new society for fungal conservation—the International Society for Fungal Conservation. Almost unbelievably, it appears to be the first society anywhere in the world exclusively and explicitly devoted to protecting fungi. Establishing it was an important and historic event for the conservation world, but only a first step. The Society, like the IUCN fungal specialist groups, is new, small and inexperienced. They all now needs strong, enthusiastic and generous support from other conservation bodies and from all who understand the pressing need to protect the "orphans of Rio". There is a huge task ahead.

We knew it was coming, but now we get to see Halo 4 in action, thanks to Microsoft and developers 343 Industries showing off the new game at the Microsoft press E3 conference in LA.
As you have probably gathered, Halo 4 marks the return of Master Chief and the beginning of a new saga in the blockbuster franchise that started 10 years ago.
Microsoft took to the stage to showcase Halo Infinity Multiplayer, including a new story-driven experience known as Spartan Ops.
"A first of its kind, Spartan Ops is an episodic adventure - playable in single-player or cooperatively with up to four players - that blends immersive storytelling, high-quality cinematics and action-packed gameplay to deliver an unprecedented serialised experience," claims Microsoft, hoping to extend the urge to play the game beyond the opening weekend.
Halo 4 hits store shelves on 6 November 2012, just in time to make it on your Christmas list.
UPDATE: Pocket-lint has now had the chance to play the game for real at Microsoft's dedicated Halo 4 showcase and party in LA and, while we've only had a chance to experience two different multiplayer modes and maps, we can already tell that 343 Industries has risen to the challenge of taking on such an important franchise.
The mode we played most was the one newest to this chapter, Spartan Ops. With three other gamers, we played what will be episode one of the adventure that will be available for download in timed chunks.
The cinematics were far from finished, with 2D animated storyboards where there will be 3D CGI renders, but the gameplay and graphics therein are close to finalised.
Of course, the gameplay itself is as can be expected, and will definitely please die-hard Halo-ites. It's speed is extremely impressive. Although there are a few lulls in the firefighting, they don't last for long before you're straight back into a running battle.
However, the most impressive aspect of what we've seen so far is in graphical flair. Everything, textures, colour pallette, 3D models, seem sharper and better defined than ever before. If we had any negative feelings about former Master Chief outings it was that the games were cartoony, with garish colour schemes and basic modelling. That's perhaps a little extreme, as we haven't seen the former Bungie games side-by-side with this new one, but there's definitely a greater feeling of realism - well, as much as can be for a game set on an alien planet, featuring running battles with extraterrestrials.
The team-based versus multiplayer was not quite as exciting for us as, a) it didn't feature as many enemies to kill, just another team of four, and b) we ended up dying a lot when faced with some true hardcore Halo fans. We can certainly say that it looks as tidy as the Spartan Ops mode, however.
Sadly, we didn't get to see or play any single-player action at the Halo 4 event, but thanks to the playtime we've had with the game so far, we're now awaiting any developments in that field with eager anticipation. We have faith, thanks to our experiences so far, that 343 Industries will have done a cracking job.

Yale will close out its non-league schedule Sunday afternoon with its first-ever meeting with Division III power Baruch inside the friendly confines of John J. Lee Amphitheater. The Bulldogs are looking to remain perfect in 2012 after a New Year's Day victory over Army followed by a dominating win at Bucknell on Tuesday. This is the final game for the Bulldogs before they begin Ivy League play at Brown on Friday. Junior guard Megan Vasquez continues to lead the Bulldogs. She raised her scoring average to 13.8 points per game following a game-high 17 points against Bucknell. Sophomore Janna Graf has come on strong of late and is averaging 10.4 ppg. and 5.6 rpg. Baruch has lost four of its last five games heading into Sunday's meeting with Yale. The Bearcats are led by junior guard Jessica Duleba, who is leading the team in scoring (13.7 ppg.), rebounding (5.9 rpg.), and assists (2.4 apg.).
Scouting Baruch
The Bearcats of Baruch are coming to New Haven with a 6-6 overall record, including a 3-4 mark in games on the road. However, the Bearcats are 1-4 in their last five games, including 1-2 this week. Baruch's game against Yale is its fourth game in six days after a winter break that began after the Bearcats' game against Kean University on Dec. 14 and lasted until their home game against DeSales University on Jan. 3, an 18-day span between games. The Bearcats are led by junior guard Jessica Duleba, who is first on the team in points per game (13.7 ppg.), rebounding (5.9 rpg.), assists (2.4 apg.), 3-point shooting (41.7 percent, 10-for-24), minutes (29.2 mpg.), and second in steals (19).
Midwood Reunion
When Baruch freshman Francess Henry visits Yale on Sunday, she will not be coming just to play a game with her Bearcats teammates. She is also coming for a Midwood High School reunion. Henry and Yale senior captain Michelle Cashen were once teammates at the Brooklyn, N.Y., high school. The pair helped lead the Midwood Hornets to a 14-10 overall record in 2007-08, Cashen's final scholastic season before she joined the Bulldogs. Cashen remembers her former teammate fondly. "I just remember that she was very skilled and played very smoothly. From what my high school coach told me, she only got better after her freshman year." In her first season with the Bearcats, Henry is averaging 4.5 ppg., 2.3 rpg, and 1.2 apg.
CUNY Shining Stars
Kiara Johnson (Week of Dec. 12), Jessica Duleba (Week of Nov. 21), and Iyana Abrams (Week of Dec. 5) have already garnered recognition from the City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNY). The conference has announced weekly awards five times this season, and Baruch has taken the Player of the Week honors in two of those five weeks and the Rookie of the Week honor once. Johnson earned Player of the Week honors after scoring 20 points in a 64-59 loss to Ithaca on Dec. 10. She was 6-for-9 from the floor, 6-for-7 from the foul line in the Bearcats' only game of the week. Duleba earned Player of the Week honors after averaging 18.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in a 2-1 week for the Bearcats that included her first double-double of the season (20 points, 10 rebounds vs. Rochester). In a 2-0 week for the Bearcats, Abrams earned Rookie of the Week honors after totaling 24 points and 13 rebounds in wins over CCNY and NYU.
Magician of Manhattan
While UCLA had its Wizard of Westwood in legendary coach John Wooden, Baruch, a Division III power located in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, has its Magician of Manhattan. Machli Joseph began his coaching career in 2004-05, his first season at Baruch. Since he took over as head coach, the Bearcats have won no fewer than 21 games in each of his seven seasons. In his rookie season, he coached the Bearcats to a then-record 21 wins, their first-ever postseason berth (ECAC) and the CUNYAC North Division regular-season championship. Things only got better from there. He guided the Bearcats to their first-ever CUNYAC Tournament crown and their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament. He holds an overall record of 163-54 in his eight seasons at the helm, including an astonishing 89-5 record in CUNYAC play. He has led the Bearcats to six CUNYAC regular-season titles and five CUNYAC tournament championships.
International Flavor
Baruch College is one of the flagship colleges in the City University of New York system, but there is an international flare to the women's basketball team's bench. Senior reserve guard Camille Voitot is from Bourg-en-Bresse, France, which is an hour drive from Lyon, France, and about 1.5 hours from Geneva, Switzerland, and four hours from Paris. Junior reserve guard Fanta Conde is also an international student from Conakry, Guinea. The coastal city lies near the Guinea border with Sierra Leone.
Last Time Out
On the road for the final time in non-league play, Yale dominated Bucknell, especially early on the in second half, to take a 69-48 victory in Lewisburg, Pa. The Bulldogs were led by junior guard Megan Vasquez, who scored a game-high 17 points behind an efficient 7-for-12 shooting performance. Sophomore forward Janna Graf tallied 13 points, five rebounds and a pair of blocks, while freshman guard Sarah Halejian added 13 points and four assists. The Bulldogs (7-6) put together their best shooting performance of the season, hitting 49.1 percent of their shots (26-of-53), including a season-best 54.5 percent from 3-point range (6-for-11). The Bulldogs were especially efficient in the second half, draining 13 of their 19 shots (68.4 percent). The Bulldogs pulled away from the Bison through the first 16 minutes of the second half, opening up a lead that reached 28 points (67-39).
Survival of the Fittest
Army freshman Olivia Schretzman had a chance to lift Army to a come-from-behind victory, but her eight-foot jumper at the buzzer rolled in and out of the basket, allowing Yale to survive with a 63-62 win on New Year's Day at Yale. Yale saw five players score at least eight points, and the balanced attack helped the Bulldogs improve to 6-6 overall. Michelle Cashen recorded her eighth career double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Bulldogs. Megan Vasquez also scored 11 points. Freshmen Sarah Halejian (9 points) and Arrice Bryant (6 points, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks) also turned in strong performances for Yale. Yale scored 21 of its points off of 16 Army turnovers.
No FSU Repeat
Florida State avenged last season's stunning upset at Yale with a 92-58 win over the Bulldogs on Dec. 28, 2011, in Tallahassee. Alexa Deluzio scored 15 of her game-high 20 points in the opening half to lead the Seminoles. Janna Graf scored Yale's first nine points en route to an 18-point night. Chelsea Davis recorded a double-double, with 12 points and 11 rebounds. Florida State shot a blistering 62.3 percent (38-for-61). The Seminoles also dominated the paint, outrebounding the Bulldogs 49-29 and outscoring the Bulldogs 60-8 in the paint. Yale struggled from the opening tip. Janna Graf scored Yale's first nine points en route to an 18-point night. No other Yale player reached double figures, though freshman Hayden Latham had nine points. The Bulldogs shot 17-for-66 (25.8 percent), their worst shooting performance this season.
Return to Tallahassee
Chris Gobrecht, the Joel E. Smilow, Class of 1954, Head Coach of Women's Basketball at Yale, made her first return to Tallahassee since she coached at Florida State in the 1996-97 season. When Gobrecht arrived at FSU, the Seminoles had struggled through four straight sub-.500 seasons. FSU showed promise early on in Gobrecht's only season in Tallahassee, winning three straight games before Christmas to improve to 5-4 on the season. However, the challenges of playing in the Atlantic Coast Conference overwhelmed the Seminoles that season, and they finished the year with a 5-22 overall record, 0-16 in ACC play. Gobrecht left after that season to become the head coach at her alma mater, Southern California, where she coached for seven seasons before coming to Yale.
Ivy Quest on Horizon
The quest for the Ivy League championship began this weekend as Penn and Princeton tipped off the double round-robin schedule on Jan. 7 at Penn. As the only Division I conference without a postseason tournament, the League's 14-game conference slate becomes the "tournament" to determine which Ivy team wins the title and earns an automatic bid in the NCAA Tournament. The team that finishes the season in second place earns the Ivy League's automatic bid to the Women's National Invitational Tournament (WNIT). Yale earned its first-ever WNIT bid last season after finishing a program-best 10-4 in league play. Yale has one game left on its non-league schedule before it begins Ivy League play at Brown on Jan. 13. Princeton is the two-time defending Ivy League champion. Yale is pursuing its first Ivy League championship since the 1978-79 season, when the league champion was determined in a mid-season tournament.
Milestone Watch for Vasquez
Junior guard Megan Vasquez has now scored 868 career points. She needs just 132 points to reach 1,000 career points. She now has four 20-point outings this season, including Holy Cross (23), Marist (21), Houston (22) and Boston University (22). Vasquez scored 322 points in her freshman season and 366 points last season. If she approaches her average of 344 points from her first two seasons, she should reach the 1,000-point milestone at some point during the Ivy League season. In doing so, Vasquez will become the 17th player in Yale's history to reach 1,000 career points. The last Bulldog to reach the milestone was Melissa Colborne, who closed out her career with 1,418 points, fifth on Yale's all-time scoring list. If Vasquez continues to maintain her 344-point pace, she would finish in sixth place on Yale's all-time list with 1,376 career points.

Yes, it's been a really long time since I've been here, updating No Expiration. I'm going to try to return more often in 2014. You can read a lot of my stuff here at Radio.com, the site I work for (along with a number of websites for CBS owned classic rock, classic hits and Jack stations, along with Chicago's WXRT).
I'm planning on sharing my take on upcoming music events including the GRAMMYs and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as well as links to some of my interviews, videos and features. But for now, I'm returning with my take on the best albums of the year.
Regarding the headline, I don't really have anything against Vampire Weekend, I am not that familiar with their music (although the few times I've heard their music, it hasn't really kept my attention). I think that they are a "zeitgeist" band - a band who, through a confluence of fans, critical acclaim and an intangible "x factor," are a band who everyone who works in music is expected to pay attention to, and expected to like. That's fine. I definitely like some artists who fall into that category.
Anyway, I've been having a hard time coming up with an actual order for my favorite albums of the year. In recent years, I've had a handful of albums that rose to the top. In 2007, it was Ben Harper, Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, Mavis Staples and Robert Plant/Alison Krauss. In 2008, the Foxboro Hot Tubs. In 2009, Bob Dylan, the Cocktail Slippers, Rancid and Levon Helm. 2010, it was the Drive-By Truckers and Mavis Staples. 2011: Social Distortion and Foo Fighters. And last year, Bruce Springsteen's Wrecking Ball.
This year, I have a number of albums that I've enjoyed, but no clear favorites. But I'll try to put them in some sort of order here. So, let's start already!
1. Ben Harper with Charlie Musselwhite - Get Up! Two generations of blues artists come together. The easiest thing in the world would have been to make this a covers album. Instead, Ben (and the guys from his current band) wrote a bunch of songs that should be blues standards in the years to come. I had the pleasure and honor of interviewing them when their album came out, and that was a huge thrill. Shortly after that, I saw them playing a show at Irving Plaza (way too small of a venue for them) and it was mind-blowingly great. Check out my review, with my wife's amazing photos, here. Anyway, I'm curious to see what Ben does next: I'd love to see him reunite with his old band, the Innocent Criminals, in 2014.
2. Nine Inch Nails - Hesitation Marks This was one that I thought was really overlooked by music critics. But I realize that a white, angry guy forever connected to the '90s who looks like he could totally kick your ass isn't who critics get behind these days. But whatever. This album was really innovative. Of course, Trent has to compete with his past, which definitely looms large. Pretty Hate Machine, Broken and The Downward Spiral were all game changers. I don't know that he has another earth shaking record in him like that again. And he isn't that guy anymore: he's married, he has kids, has greyhounds. And yet, I think he's still haunted by every artist who ever disappointed him: he doesn't want to get soft, get boring or sell out. And he doesn't. Not only was this a great album, but he supported it with a great tour: first he did the festival circuit (they pretty much blew everyone away, including Mrs. Carter, at Made In America) and then revamped the band, put together a new stage show and raised the game once again on his headlining tour. Check out my review of that, and (again) my wife's amazing photos, here. I should also mention that his album with How To Destroy Angels was great, and their concerts were amazing too. I can't wait to see what Trent does next.
here. Do I buy into any of his hype? No. The Wall Street Journal wrote a scathing retort to his complaints that the fashion world is preventing him from entering their world. I wouldn't look to him as a fashion icon anyway. But what he is great at is making records. Of course, sometimes he needs some help and that was the case here: Rick Rubin exec-produced this album, and I'm sure that was a big factor. But Kanye knows a great track when he produces it, and he knows who to collaborate with (he worked with Daft Punk on "Black Skinhead," a highlight of the album). And he's still a compelling MC. I even like "Bound 2" but let's not talk about the video.
You Are Not Alone, but this is still pretty great. Once again, Tweedy wrote the best song on the album. Last time, it was the title track, this time it's "Every Step." As great as the songs that Tweedy writes for Wilco are, I think he saves his best songs for Mavis. Another highlight is the cover of Funkadelic's "Can You Get To That." Mavis is the rare artist who improves with age. I went to see her in concert at New York's City Winery, and it was one of the best shows I saw all year. It made you feel good to be alive. Thank you Mavis.
calling Jay Z out after playing Made In America. I like some of Jay's stuff, but everyone else falls all over themselves trying to be his pal. Josh comes from a different era and a different school.
7. Elvis Costello and the Roots - Wise Up Ghost More proof that both Elvis and the Roots can tackle any kind of music. A lot of this album reminds me of the Specials. Sometimes these kinds of combinations can come off a bit contrived, but you know that with this one, it was all about mutual admiration and respect. I would love to see them tour together: imagine what Elvis songs they would revisit if they had time to rework some of his classics. (In my world, Black Thought would be part of the tour and they'd do a bunch of Roots classics as well, Elvis could play along on guitar). Anyway, I'd file this with Elvis's great collab with Allen Toussaint, and the Roots' album with John Legend.
interviewed by A&E for a Sabbath doc. I was not disappointed by this album (other than the fact that they couldn't get it together with Bill Ward to have a full reunion; that said, Brad Wilk did a great job on the album, and Tommy Clufetos was great live). A lot of credit is due to producer Rick Rubin (him again!) but also to Ozzy, Tony and Geezer for bringing their A+ game. Especially Tony, who was going through chemo at the time.
9. Walking Papers - Walking Papers A new band featuring Duff McKagan on Guns N Roses and Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees and Mad Season. It sounds like nothing Duff has done, it's really more like Barrett's bands. In fact, singer Jeff Angell sounds a bit like Mark Lanegan. It's definitely a hard rock album, but more of a dusty Tom Waits type blues vibe (not a Clapton blues vibe). I was fortunate enough to interview Duff and Jeff for a Radio.com New Music To Know (read it here) and they were super cool. But what really turned me on to them was seeing them live on the second stage at the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival (see my review and my wife's photos here). They were really great, and I bought their album right there, and then reached out to get an interview. This isn't a "side project," it's a great band, please be clear. I hope they tour in 2014, I want to see them again!
10. Valerie June - Pushin' Against A Stone I also interviewed her for Radio.com's New Music To Know (read it here). I heard about her because some of the songs were produced by Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys (one of my favorite producers) and I think I'd read about her somewhere. I checked out her album and was blown away. It would be great if she was a "zeitgeist" artist, but she's not going out of her way to enter the conversation for anything other than her amazing singing voice and her great songs. I think music lovers will be following her career for years to come.
So, there you have it. But ten isn't enough, here's a few other albums that I feel I have to add:
- Daft Punk Random Access Memories It has my favorite song of the year (yes, "Get Lucky") and it sees them turning their backs on the EDM scene they may or may not have created, eschewing samples and using all live musicians, including Nile Rodgers.
- M.I.A. Matangi It has another of my favorite songs of the year ("Bring The Noize"). She's one of the most interesting artists today, consistently.
- Alice In Chains The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here In which they prove that the "new" lineup, with singer/guitarist William DuVall is for real. One of the most underrated albums of the year.
- Haim Days Are Gone Yeah, I'm with the critics on this one, too. I don't know how it's "indie" though, it sounds like '80s era Fleetwood Mac and Genesis, and I mean that as a compliment. Especially relative to what most indie rock sounds like these days. I saw them at Made In America and they were incredible.
- Aaron Neville My True Story In which he revisits his doo-wop past, on a stripped down record produced by Don Was and Keith Richards.
- Holly Williams The Highway The granddaughter of Hank, her artistry stands on its own. She's great. "Drinkin'" is devastating.
- Lindi Ortega Tin Star I discovered her opening for Social Distortion, she was great. I wish the press would pay attention to her, she surely deserves it. Another artist who I covered for Radio.com's New Music To Know. A super cool chick as well.
- Jason Isbell Southeastern The former Drive-By Trucker (who wrote my favorite DBT song, "Never Gonna Change") announced this album by saying it was the best thing he's ever done. Well, it is pretty freaking great. Check it out.
- Lone Bellow Lone Bellow A great new band, when they sing together it's magic. Do yourself a favor and check them out.
- Kacey Musgraves Same Trailer Different Park Another time the critics are right. Her debut is excellent, she will get my vote for Best New Artist at the GRAMMYs.
- Hanni El-Khatib Head In The Dirt Another Dan Auerbach production, it's great garage rock from L.A.
- Sara Bareilles The Blessed Unrest I'm sorry to say that I only listened to this after it got a GRAMMY nomination, and well deserved. I interviewed a lot of music writers about her, all of whom were surprised, because she's not part of the zeitgeist, or the conversation. Which is all hte more reason to check this album out.
Well, that's pretty much it. Bring it, 2014!

Cheers to the New Year with In Home Senior Care
The year is drawing to a close and it's time to think about the New Year ahead. With each New Year comes a clean slate for new ideas and achievements. It is fresh start to a new ways of doing things that make life better and more enjoyable.
One way to start the New Year is to introduce more fresh ingredients and avoiding over-processed foods as much as possible. Choosing meals with more green vegetables and lean meats, less fatty and sugary foods, will not only benefit the waistline but also overall mood. It is true that we are what we eat, so eating better will make us feel better.
Another way to begin the New Year is to find ways to incorporate some form of exercise into our day-to-day activities. The daily workout doesn't have to be extremely difficult or vigorous; simply going on a walk after dinner or choosing stairs over elevators whenever possible is a great way to add exercise into each day. Exercise is great for the body and the mind because it reduces stress. When participating in physical activities with a friend, it is also a way to connect.
Getting a jump start on a fresh New Year can be achieved with a start in organizing. There are oftentimes boxes of things that are forgotten and given the time to look through, many find they are unneeded and can be given away to charities and second hand stores. Look through closets for items no longer in use. If there are clothing items that were not worn in a few seasons, it is time to let it go. The time taken to organize does not have to be done in one day; simply take it one closet at a time.
With the New Year approaching, there are many ways to start fresh. Another way to bring the New Year is to spread joy to those we love and don't always get the time to enjoy. Make it a point to bring dinner to an elderly loved one who might not get visitors on a daily basis. Take an afternoon to sit and visit with them and listen to their stories; they have lived through many things and have learned a lot! The best way to ring in the New Year is to do so with family and friends. The greatest gift to give ourselves is the gift of time spent with those we love.

Hey Gang,
Here are some new pics taken yesterday at Kanaha of the new Molded Sandwich board that I am building here on Maui. I built a new factory and I went to a PVC sandwich molded construction so that I can produce boards faster and by late July or August make enough for IKA production class rules. With the mold, I can make boards faster but I cannot change the boards so I have extremely close tolerance on all these boards. Of course they are heavier than my older CNC boards because now allot of materials are all thrown together in a mold at one time. Separating the board building steps is always lighter but not as consistently the same shape as a molded board. With the newer PVC Sandwich construction, the boards will dent less and stay looking better longer!
There will be around 7 racers at the Worlds on these boards. Bruno lost one of his in the airlines so an extra board had to be built in the last two days for him. It is nice having the mold, otherwise it would not have been possible to make one so fast.
To Avoid confusion there will only be this ONE MODEL LE Aguera Board produced now for the foreseeable future for IKA Production registration. The Regular Aguera production boards will continue though. Previous LE model customers who bought boards directly from me can get the newer model at a discounted price! Previous LE models will not be legal for IKA Production Class rules because I will discontinue making them.
