The Six Commandments of Mongrels
Mongrels writer Jon Brown says...
Every show has its own set of rules. "No hugging, no learning," to quote an over-quoted example. Thing is, the contents of any given sitcom's rulebook only usually become apparent once you've pitched the producer a load of story ideas and he's patiently explaining why NONE of them are quite right. "The characters all hate each other, that's kind of one of the rules of the show." "None of the characters have any money, that's kind of one of the rules of the show." "Gary can only travel back in time to 1940s Blitz-era London and then forward again to the 1990s (and NOT back to 5th century Britain), that's kind of one of the rules of the show."
Well, let's lay this particular rulebook open. So here they are, the Six Commandments of Mongrels:
#1 No puppet jokes -- The immutable law of Mongrels. There can be no jokes about "having a hand up your arse", or "knocking the stuffing out of someone." Never ever ever. Ever.
#2 Keep the gang together -- You may have noticed, but foxes, cats, pigeons and dogs don't often hang around together embroiling themselves in extended comedic hijinx. Well tough shit, because these ones do. And if you're writing it, it's your job to find problems that keep them together.
#3 We're in the real world -- Which is why every episode starts on actual humans in the actual human world, before panning to reveal our animals in the margins. The audience needs to know where they are, and who's world this is.
#4 Cutaways are a law unto themselves -- You can do anything you want in a cutaway. Provided you can persuade Eamonn Holmes' agent it's a good idea.
#5 You can't end every episode with "then Vince enters and eats everyone" - it's tempting. Especially when you've written Nelson into a corner and he's lumbered with a disabled surrogate runt baby. But just because the real animal kingdom is a brutal place where senseless, random things happen, doesn't mean you can ignore the age-old golden sitcom rules of 'fair play.'
#6 Adding the line "... but with animals" to descriptions of old episodes of Two and a Half Men does NOT constitute a day of storylining - although that never stopped us.
#7 All rules are made to be broken - except the first one.
(Finally, anyone interested in reading an Arthurian special of Goodnight Sweetheart, in which Gary Sparrow takes some WD-40 to the Sword in the Stone, please contact my agent.)
Watch the final episode of Mongrels on Tuesday 10th August at 10.30pm on BBC Three.

Thank you for rule one. Seriously. While a little bit of 4th-wall breaking can be fun, puppet jokes tear the wall down and micturate upon the rubble.
Also, wrong 'whose' in rule #3. That one always gets me too. -

If you have anything...anything...that can take me to that place, then please, I'll take it all.

This was gleefully reported by your masters at the BBC. Yet the powers-that-be at the BBC do nothing about your programme: for several weeks you have been portraying East London foxes as aggressive, dangerous and diseased (in one programme Chris Packham from Springwatch described one as 'skanky' ) and in another episode there was a rabid fox infecting domestic dogs - including a very valuable Afghan stud dog - near the Lord Nelson pub.
We have been shown graphic images of violence, including infanticide, cannibalism, a broken leg with protruding bones and an eviscerated vixen along with heart-rending testimony about the homosexual rape of captive animals. Nothing like the cute and cuddly foxes we see on Springwatch. No wonder the less clued-up locals are up in arms. When will the BBC wake up to this monster sucking at their bosom? -

However, the video of the 'urban fox hunters' turned out to be a hoax. Also, it turned out they made that video in response to the media frenzy about foxes after those 2 girls got 'attacked by a fox', rather than 'Mongrels'. I personally don't think foxes are portrayed badly in this show...look at Nelson he's metrosexual and really anti-violent. Okay Vince is very aggressive, but if anything I think that it mocks the general viewpoint of people that foxes are actually vicious and aggressive (which is why its so funny Nelson is the opposite). I don't think people will relate real animals to the way the characters act on this show, because at the end of the day it is a comedy and you aren't meant to take it seriously.
I don't think that it is shows like Mongrels that will make people turn against foxes, but the stories in the media about fox attacks, which seem to be more frequent now that Conservatives have gotten in and are talking about bringing hunting back (coincidence?). I think that the comment about Nelson the fox being 'skanky' was just a nudge at the character rather than at foxes in general. The joke about the other fox which had rabies seemed to be taking the pi** more out of French people than foxes I thought personally.
Interesting to know what other people think about this though. -

Then when you watch Mongrels and you see a fox like Vince and he seems like the sort of animals who would attack children. Then you see Nelson and think OMG look how lovely he is!! it sort of makes me want to adopt a fox and call it Nelson!! xx also Mongrels is a comedy show like TankedWater said so you can't read to much into the "are foxes bad debate".
Also I am kind of suprised that they haven't mentioned fox hunting in the episodes (which isn't a bad thing). I personally think hunting foxes is pointless and cruel. Mostly because foxes are not like deer and rabbit which you can eat at restraunts, so why hunt them?. So really I like foxes and just because one fox attacked someone doesn't mean others will and also people won't read to much in how the foxes on Mongrels act because Vince and Nelson are just too likeable!! xxx -

At 19:14 14th Aug 2010, TankedWater wrote:Yeah Vince is portrayed as attacking just about anyone, but I doubt it's meant to illustrate how foxes act, as the animals on the show act more like humans than animals anyway. Also, as you said ffffion, Vince is actually a likeable character (most people's favourite it seems by the look of facebook).
They actually did a 'flashback' in the last ep to Nelson commented on hunting being barbaric and showed him being chased by a fox hunt and then again in a 'drag hunt' where has was dressed as a woman, but that's about it. I'd be happy if they put another flashback in where Vince is chasing the hunters with a shotgun or something - I think that'd be really funny. Maybe in season 2? -

But speaking as a fox I'd like to say that I'm well peed off with the downright misleading coverage I'm getting from the BBC. I'm not afraid of saying that I'm in favour of the Brits and Americans making Afghanistan and Iraq into better places for us foxes to live - all that demolition, digging in and living in foxholes is 100% OK by me. It goes down real well on Fox News. Trouble is whenever I try to express myself on air the BBC bleep it out so it sounds like I'm a foul-mouthed cretin. The producer says it's something about being "off message" as their guys in Kabul are rather ratcheting up the expenses and the BBC top-brass bean-counters want them back home ASAP. But they do it all the times to us animals. Do we ever get a word in edgeways? Look what happened to Nelson on Springwatch episode. Oh look they've censored that now.

In response to the story about 'a third of animals lovers' being afraid of foxes and not feeding wildlife due to recent news stories about fox attacks (Metro, Thurs), I'm quite disheartened that people are so easily swayed by media reports surrounding two isolated incidents. I'd hope that the public would be sensible enough to know that foxes generally don't pose a danger to humans and fox attacks are extremely rare. I also find it suspicious that there are suddenly increasing reports of fox attacks at a time when the government are discussing plans to bring back fox hunting, and wonder if similar stories of hunting hounds attacking pet cats would get as much publicity, which has been reported before hunting was outlawed. -

At 13:44 4th Sep 2010, TankedWater wrote:unknownone: sabbing is basically disruption of a hunt by varying methods of controlling the hounds, such as masking the scent of a fox with spray, using one of the horns the hunt use to get the hounds to stop chasing an animal and mimicking the calls of the hunt to try to control the hounds. You have to chase after a hunt who are normally on horseback up and down hills for miles and are ocassionaly threatened by the hunt and its supporters. Now hunting has been banned, it can be as simple as bringing a video camera out with you to put the hunt off killing as the footage can be used to prosecute them in court.

Well well. A most curious state of affairs this morning. It looks like a final script session for "Eastenders" (only the spelling's better.) But to business.
Frankly when you're a fox it's hard to tell hunters and sabs apart - two bunches of posh townie folk with nothing better to do of a morning. You just know it's going to be a bad day. Give me Millwall v West Ham anytime. Sabs don't know the trouble they cause - at least with the hunt you have a good where you're going to be sleeping that night (although it does sometimes go pear-shaped if they catch someone out after a night on the tiles). But with sabs you have no idea - when you find yourself turfed out on some other fox's patch they don't exactly put out the flags for you, believe me. A least the hunts do their bit for making life as unpleasant as possible for people to live in the country and what fox is going to argue with that? Townie sabs screw it up by taking the fox out of the equation and sticking it in their back garden. It's like hitting the big snake in Snakes & Ladders. Now the cities are now full of foxes forced to compete with pensioners and asylum seekers for the contents of wheelie bins. No wonder hunting got banned.
When I was approached by the people behind "Mongrels" it was sold to me as being a trendy & radical forum for my radical foxist views, e.g. that the East End should be bombed back into the early 1950s to make it a better place for foxes to live and the feeling on the street is that its current demography seems to feel much the same. 5-11 ain't the half of it. Unfortunately although "Mongrels" is a reality TV programme, it's made by the BBC and as such is subject to all the cutesy overpaind editorial foibles of that organisation. Result - every time I open my mouth to make my case the words get beeped out because some junior producer with a degree in Current Affairs and a hand up his arse can't tell the difference between foxism and fascism and is afraid to let on.

Isn't it a good thing that the public view of foxes may have improved based on the show? Especially considering the other stuff we discussed about negative media. Like I said, if you want free speech try Channel 4, but I think they're more interested in chicken welfare. Saying that, they did do a documentary called 'meet the foxes' a while back (where you on that?). That being said, I agree with your comments about making places more habitable for foxes, although don't think bombing is a good way of going about it - talking about bombing places will get you arrested for terrorism...unless you work in the government that is.

It might get through under the auspices of one of the many BBC's affirmative action pro-disability policies.

Before you sign any contracts make sure that they give you more scenes in series 2 than series 1, and don't let them censor your views. Looking forward to Autumnwatch too - are you going to KO another cock garage? No idea where Hoxton is but all the best with your campaign. Foxton does sound better than Hoxton. In fact why stop there, why not campaign to get London called Foxdon?

Hoxton is (or was) part of the traditional East End with an entrenched working class community and a very unsuitable place for foxes to live in what with all the thrift and those pesky whippets walking the streets at all hours...
I found that by sticking a "Foxton" sign outside a house and indulging in a bit of late-night courtship and bin-rattling even the most entrenched of whippet owners could be persuaded to leave to be replaced by a stream of transients, undesirables and shiftless social parasites far more tolerant of rats and foxes and other wildlife. Indeed many of the "Mongrels" team now either reside within the said vicinity or aspire to do so.
So the "Make Hoxton Foxton" campaign is going great guns and I'm very disappointed you haven't heard of it especially given the carrier bags full of used high denomination banknotes that has been handed over to bring Springwatch and Autumnwatch to the area to promote it. That Simon King doesn't come cheap. Once again "Make Hoxton Foxton"! -

Foxton (not Hoxton) sounds like a nice place to live, I'd move there if I worked in London. The only wildlife I get where I live is the neighbour's cat and magpies which always wake me up of a morning. Never really lived anywhere where there are foxes - I'd always leave some food out if there was.
Apparently there was a story on the news about a woman who got her ear bitten by a fox that got into her house recently...you wouldn't know anything about that would you Vince? Haha. Seriously, all these stories about fox attacks are getting ridiculous. At least my letter got published in the metro (on Monday), so hopefully if people see that they'll actually put 2 and 2 together and realize it's a ploy by the Tories to make foxes look bad so they can repel the Hunting Act.
I'm not really one of the dozen or so virgins and old people that tends to watch Sring/Autumwatch so wouldn't have heard of Hoxton, although I might watch this years Autumwatch if there are some BAFTA shots of foxes. -

No, compared to the twin evils of foxicidal farmers and townie boy racers the hunts are nothing to us foxes - the loss of their fox-breeding programmes has been much harder to take. Since this realisation sank in with those frustrated hunt saboteurs contemplating their now-empty lives they have used every opportunity to goad the current government into repealing the hunting ban by raising the issue at every turn. Meanwhile somewhat counter-intuitively the proscription of fox-killing has led to an increase in the number of people 'riding to hounds'. You couldn't make it up. Ah the prospect of idyllic autumn afternoons with man and fox engaged in mutually rewarding recreation! My ginger pulse quickens at the thought of being pursued across the countryside by a jodpurs-wearing Julia Bradbury. Resistance is futile. My legs turn to water...

Now as a fox and I'm quite used to eating my food raw but I've been an urban fox for long enough to know that humans do things rather differently. Maybe the only way of house-training her was to incorporate cookery lessons into an activity show format? Didn't RTE do the same with Jedward's potty training?

U.N. officials said last week that Africa is especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of global warming and lacks the resources to deal with them. They said industrialized nations should not look to developing nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions without doing more themselves.
Meanwhile, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences joined with other such scientific groups in a dozen nations in calling on world leaders to limit the threat of climate change by decreasing their dependence on fossil fuels.
And the authors of an article in American Scientist magazine looked at the ecological effects of climate change on the Antarctic Peninsula. They say the average midwinter temperature there has increased by 6 degrees Celsius since 1950, or five times the global average.
American companies that burn coal to make electricity are looking for a way to build plants that would capture their emissions, a strategy that may become a lot more important soon, according to the New York Times.
And, finally, the Christian Science Monitor began a series called "Empty Oceans" that looks at disappearing fish stocks and changing undersea ecosystems, among other factors that are raising alarms.

Decades of chemical pollution have damaged the ozone layer of the upper atmosphere that shields Earth from the harmful effects of the sun's ultraviolet rays, each summer eating a hole over the South Pole that expands to nearly the size of Antarctica. But since 1996, when an international treaty banned the culprit chemical refrigerants and propellants ... , the size of the seasonal tear has been shrinking - and scientists predict it may stop forming by the end of this century. You would think that was good news. But atmospheric scientists caution in a new study published in Science that sewing up the rift in the ozone ... layer may exacerbate another environmental woe: climate change.

DIMONA, ISRAEL -- On the scorched floor of Israel's Negev Desert blooms a field of 1,640 robotic mirrors that behave like sunflowers. Slightly larger than pingpong tables and guided by a computer, they turn imperceptibly to follow the sun and focus its rays on the pinnacle of a 200-foot tower, where a water boiler will soon start producing high-pressure steam. This futuristic assembly is Arnold Goldman's scale model and testing ground for five larger solar fields his company plans to build in the Mojave Desert to supply up to 900 megawatts of clean energy to California in the next decade.

Khavinson, of the University of South Florida in Tampa, and Neumann, of the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, had never heard of it. So they started a crash course in gravitational lensing.

The late 16th Century shipwreck hails from a pivotal point in England's military history.

The ultraviolet flash that signals the explosion of a red supergiant star has been detected by astronomers for the first time. "We have witnessed the violent death of a massive star in a galaxy almost a billion light-years away in unprecedented detail," said study team member Kevin Schawinski, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford in the U.K. The discovery comes just weeks after an independent team reported the first sighting of x-ray light from a star just as it was beginning to explode. Seeing such "first light" from supernovae could help astronomers better understand what's happening inside massive stars in their final moments.
Vinyl shower curtains sold at major retailers across the country emit toxic chemicals that have been linked to serious health problems, according to a report released Thursday by a national environmental organization. The curtains contained high concentrations of chemicals that are linked to liver damage as well as damage to the central nervous, respiratory and reproductive systems, said researchers for the Virginia-based Center for Health, Environment & Justice. The organization commissioned the study about two years ago to determine what caused that "new shower curtain smell" familiar to many consumers.

(Associated Press) - For about 20 years, Dr. Michael Klag has used a fertilizer made from Milwaukee municipal sludge on azaleas and yew shrubs at his suburban Baltimore home. And Klag, dean of the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, says he's never had any question about its safety. But in the past few weeks, he has found himself reassuring the public about a similar product .... Johns Hopkins researchers spread it on nine yards in poor black Baltimore neighborhoods in an experiment eight years ago. That's become a cause for outrage among some politicians and others who have called for an investigation. The trigger was an Associated Press story in April that raised questions about the Baltimore experiment and whether there has been adequate testing to determine if sludge is safe.

WASHINGTON - Europe this month rolled out new restrictions on makers of chemicals linked to cancer and other health problems, changes that are forcing U.S. industries to find new ways to produce a wide range of everyday products.The new laws in the European Union (EU) require companies to demonstrate that a chemical is safe before it enters commerce, the opposite of policies in the United States, where regulators must prove a chemical is harmful before it can be restricted or removed from the market. Manufacturers said complying with the European laws will add billions to their costs.The changes come as consumers increasingly are worried about the long-term consequences of chemical exposure and are agitating for more aggressive regulation. In the United States, these pressures have spurred efforts in Congress and some state legislatures to pass laws that would circumvent the laborious federal regulatory process.

What worries Hudnut is the possibility of the geological equivalent of dominos: What if an earthquake on one fault causes a chain reaction? That, he believes, is what happened in China last month in the earthquake that has so far been blamed for more than 69,000 deaths.

Some shark populations in the Mediterranean Sea have completely collapsed, according to a new study, with numbers of five species declining by more than 96 percent over the past two centuries."This loss of top predators could hold serious implications for the entire marine ecosystem, greatly affecting food webs throughout this region," said the lead author of the study, Francesco Ferretti, a doctoral student in marine biology at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia.Particularly troubling, the researchers said, were patterns indicating a lack of females of breeding age, which are essential if populations are to recover even with new conservation measures.

In the other scenario, the universe is but a tiny part of a primordial structure now grown so big it exceeds the horizon of the observable universe.

Athletes in the ancient Olympics competed in the buff, on the grounds (among other things) that clothes were a hindrance to performance. Modern technology, however, has changed that. In some sports, notably swimming, the right attire can be an enormous boon. Take Speedo's LZR swimsuit, which was introduced in February.Fully 38 of the 42 world swimming records that have been broken since then have fallen to swimmers wearing LZRs. Indeed, some of those records have been claimed by less-than-notable racers, suggesting that the difference lies in the apparel, not the athlete.To make the LZR, four innovations had to come together. The first is the fabric. The new suit is cut from a densely woven nylon-elastane material that compresses the wearer's body into a hydrodynamic shape but is extremely light. Moreover, there are no sewn seams. Instead, the suit is bonded by ultrasonic welding.

Stacey Gayle used to love music. Listening to it and performing it was a big part of her life. She had stacks of CDs in her car, went to concerts of artists like Sean Paul, and would go to parties where hot songs would blare. ... Then she started having seizures.The first one happened while she slept in her bedroom in Rosedale, Queens in New York City on the night of March 3, 2005. ... Several brain scans and blood tests gave no clue as to why she seized. Soon after, she had another, this time at a friend's barbecue.... At first, the seizures seemed to occur randomly. In the spring of 2006, however, she noticed a pattern. At the time, Sean Paul's "Temperature" was sitting at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, continually being played on urban radio stations. It was playing at nearly every barbecue and party she went to. That was a problem: "Every time it would go on, I would pass out and go into a seizure," she recalls.

It is the new classification that has been sanctioned for the object that was formerly known as the "ninth planet."It is nearly two years since the International Astronomical Union (IAU) stripped Pluto of its former status as a "proper" planet. Now an IAU committee, meeting in Oslo, has suggested that small, nearly spherical objects orbiting beyond Neptune should carry the "plutoid" tag.As astronomy's official nomenclature organisation, the IAU must approve all new names and classifications. Its decision at the 2006 General Assembly to demote Pluto from "planet" to "dwarf planet" caused an international furore.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Associated Press) - NASA launched a telescope Wednesday to scout out elusive, super high-energy gamma rays lurking in the universe. Glast - a NASA acronym standing for Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope - began its five- to 10-year Earth-orbiting mission with a midday blastoff aboard a Delta rocket.The $690 million telescope, supported by six countries, will pick up where NASA's Compton Gamma Ray Observatory left off before its deliberate destruction in 2000, but in a bigger and better way.With superior new technology and insight gained from Compton and other telescopes, Glast will be able to do in three hours, or two orbits of Earth - survey the entire sky - what Compton took 15 months to do. What's more, Glast and its particle detectors are much more sensitive and precise, and should provide an unprecedented view into the high-energy universe from a 345-mile-high orbit.

Professor Robert Langer's biomaterials research has allowed for more accurate and controlled release of drugs into patients' bodies.His work has had a significant impact on fighting cancer and heart disease, with more than 100 million people using medicines delivered via his designs. The 800,000 euros award is seen as an unofficial Nobel Prize for technology.It is given every second year for a technology that "significantly improves the quality of human life, today and in the future." ... His work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology involved finding a way to gradually release drug molecules into a patient's body.
About 50 countries, including Korea, Taiwan and Japan the last of which accounted for 36 percent of American beef exports closed their doors to American beef after the first confirmed case of mad cow disease was found in Moses Lake, Wash., in December 2003.The circumstances of that first case, and the defensive reactions of the United States Department of Agriculture after its discovery, led to years of skepticism by American consumer groups and difficult negotiations with foreign countries over reopening their markets -- especially in Asia's wealthier countries, where consumers are used to demanding that their governments certify that imported food is safe.Although the first infected cow was probably not a "downer" -- too diseased or crippled to walk -- it was part of a shipment of broken-down old dairy cows, and it became clear from press reports that some small slaughterhouses specialized in taking such borderline animals, which often had to be hoisted or winched out of their trucks on chains.

For thousands of years, humans saw the seas as an infinite source of plenty. But the industrialized fishing fleets of the 20th century found the ocean's bounds. Today, fish stocks are disappearing and undersea ecosystems are changing in ways that raise alarm. How did this happen? And what must be done to reverse these trends and sustain life in the world's seas?In Part 1 of a series, the Monitor looks at the factors that have conspired to cause the collpse of fish stocks.In the past, sail-powered fishing boats were limited by wind and weather; today's factory ships, with sonar and GPS, can scour the sea for months. The sea was not so vast, once we deployed an industrial armada against it.

A carbon nanotube that spins in a current of electrons, like a wind turbine in a breeze, could become the world's smallest printer or shrink computer memory, UK researchers say.The design is simple. A carbon nanotube 10 nanometres long and 1 nm wide is suspended between two others, its ends nested inside them to form a rotating joint. When a direct current is passed along the tubes, the central one spins around.That design has as yet only been tested using advanced computer simulations by Colin Lambert and colleagues at Lancaster University, Lancashire, UK. But Adrian Bachtold of the Catalan Institute for Nanotechnology, who was not involved in the work, intends to build the electron turbines and says it should be straightforward.
The Phoenix Mars Lander has successfully filled its scientific oven with clumpy Martian soil, and scientists expect to close the door and begin their analysis within a few days.The lander had trouble getting the oven to fill because the soil clods refused to sift through a screen over the oven's opening. After repeated attempts and a last try at vibrating the screen, they succeeded in coaxing soil through the screen and into the oven.The tiny oven is one of eight aboard the Phoenix Mars Lander. The high-temperature ovens are part of a key scientific instrument that will analyze Martian ice and soil and determine whether organic compounds, the building blocks of life, are present.
A rare fossil found in Australia suggests dinosaurs were able to trek north across a vast continent, scientists report.The hundred-million-year-old fossil belonged to a two-legged meat-eater, or theropod, that is closely related to Megaraptor namunhuaiquii, a giant, big-clawed carnivore from Argentina, says a team led by Nathan Smith of the University of Chicago's Field Museum. The discovery could help redraw the world map during the dinosaur era, researchers add.That's because the newfound Australian dinosaur shows that animals could travel across the prehistoric supercontinent of Gondwana during the Cretaceous period, about 145 to 65 million years ago. This in turn suggests that Gondwana's Southern Hemisphere landmasses broke up later than traditionally thought.
Our National Academy of Sciences and its counterparts in a dozen other nations issued a joint statement [Tuesday] calling on world leaders to "to limit the threat of climate change" by weaning themselves off of their dependence on fossil fuels.They also called for a move to sustainable resource use - which, as we all know, would not include the continued full-throttle mining of finite, millions-of-years-old coal, oil, and natural gas.The academies that issued the request for action are known as the G8 (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the United States) plus 5 (the largest developing countries: China, India, Brazil, Mexico, and South Africa). These science academies represent some nations that do not yet work together on discussing, much less tackling, climate change.
WASHINGTON - According to the Congressional Research Service, there are only about 30 scientists among the 535 senators and representatives in the 110th Congress .... But physics is on a roll."Go back 15 years, and there weren't any physicists," said Vernon J. Ehlers, a Republican who taught the subject at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Mich., until he was elected to Congress in 1993.His was a lone voice until 1998, when Rush Holt, assistant director of the Princeton Plasma Physics laboratory, won election from New Jersey as a Democrat. And today there are three, adding Bill Foster, a physicist at Fermilab and another Democrat, who won a special election in March in Illinois. ... [A] Congress full of physicists might solve some worrisome problems, the three-member physics caucus argued one afternoon when they met for a joint interview in the Capitol.

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA -- Africa produces a tiny fraction of the world's greenhouse gases but is particularly vulnerable to the effects of global warming, U.N. environmental experts said Tuesday at a conference of African environment ministers here.Some of those present had harsh words for the developed world, in particular the United States, the largest producer of greenhouse gases. They said industrialized nations are pressing Africans to reduce gas emissions while not doing enough themselves."Computer models project major changes in precipitation patterns on the continent, which could lead to food shortages and increased desertification," says a United Nations Environment Program report released at the conference. "Yet on the whole, African nations lack the resources and technology to address such changes."
Combining standard field biology techniques with a Web-accessible robotic camera positioned at the Welder Wildlife Refuge in Sinton, Tex., scientists and amateur ornithologists are trying to determine whether the sighting of subtropical birds well north of their natural habitat is proof of climate change and a profound shift in wildlife migration patterns. Amateur observers have witnessed - via the CONE (Collaborative Observatories for Natural Environments) Welder Web site - the green jay, great kiskadee and white-tipped dove cavorting north of their known breeding areas in Texas's Rio Grande Valley, about 160 miles from Sinton. In fact, dozens of species of subtropical birds appear to have shifted to neighborhoods north of their normal stomping grounds.

Colossal structures larger than the visible universe - forged during the period of cosmic inflation nearly 14 billion years ago - may be responsible for a strange pattern seen in the big bang's afterglow, says a team of cosmologists. If confirmed, the structures could provide precious information about the universe's earliest moments. In the first instant after its birth, the universe is thought to have experienced a rapid growth spurt called inflation. During this period, space itself expanded faster than the speed of light. Inflation solves some cosmological puzzles, such as why relic radiation from the big bang, released when the universe was less than 400,000 years old, is relatively uniform.

ModCloth Gifts For Geeks ModCloth Founder Susan Gregg Koger Shares Her Geek Finds by Kelly Schwarze 12/04/12 6 Reactions 17 Shares Print 2 5 10 0 0 A little bit of vintage appeal and some sweet sassy geek is how we think of the clothes and accessories available from online shop ModCloth.

Haddon Township needed a rebound victory Monday. Kim Gaskill took that quite literally.
Gaskill pounded back a second-chance shot to give Haddon Township a 1-0 overtime win over visiting Woodbury in a Colonial Conference girls' soccer game and snap a losing skid.
The Hawks opened the season with four straight wins, but had dropped three in a row.
Gaskill made sure it ended there. Five minutes into overtime, Andrea Peterson crossed the ball into the box, and Gaskill put it on the charging keeper, who made the initial save. Gaskill tucked the rebound into the top right corner.
Haddon Township goalie Sarah Getzinger made eight saves.
