Is SnapFiesta a typical photobooth?
SnapFiesta is a revolutionary photobooth—a booth without the box. We provide an open air system that escapes the confines of a traditional photobooth and creates an interactive photobooth experience. With a portable studio, and extremely high-quality photos, SnapFiesta makes amazing prints that guests love.
What events are best for SnapFiesta?
SnapFiesta provides services for any type of event. We function best in open areas that guests frequent, transforming any event into a fun photo experience. The photobooth can service weddings, private parties, and corporate and promotional events.
How much space does it take up?
In general, our footprint is 10′x 10′; however, the set up can scale down to as small as 6′ × 8′ if needed. We have done events in smaller spaces, so if you have a concern about a particular space, let us know. It is preferable to operate in spaces with a 10' height clearance, to accommodate our studio lighting, but we can fit into a space as low as 7'.
Do you provide backdrops?
Yes, we have a variety of backdrops. Here are some of our standard and premium backdrop choices available. We can also create custom backdrops and design entire sets.
How are the photos taken?
Our operators take the photos for the guests and make the picture taking an interactive experience with a human. Some occasions call for more automation, and we have options such as touch screen or a remote switch so that guests can take control.
Can you do on-site printing?
Yes, we offer instant printing on all of our packages. Our standard print option are double 2×6 strips, reminiscent of traditional photobooths. There are 4-images and space for text or a logo. We also offer additional 4×6 and 5×7 printing options.
Can guests view a slideshow at the event?
Yes, all of our photobooth setups are equipped with two high-resolution LCD monitors, allowing guests to see themselves when taking photos, and to see a slideshow of the photos on the outside of the setup.
Is there a limit to number of photos and prints?
With our standard print options there's no limit to the number of sessions your guests can enjoy! Guests will receive a set of double photo strips from each session, and can take as many sessions as they like. Clients can choose to upgrade to a double print, or reprint on-demand option for higher volume events to ensure every guest gets a print. With all events, your guests will have access to an online gallery to download complimentary web-sized images, or order prints.
How can guests view and share the photos?
Photos are placed in an online gallery on our website for public viewing and ordering after the event, and can be password protected.
Do you offer Social Media integration?
Yes! We've been on the cutting edge of technology since our launch, and continue to provide the newest features. Through our social media upgrade, guests can upload photos instantly to Facebook and Twitter or by email. We also offer InstaPrinting allowing guests at an event to print out their Instagram photos from their phone!
Can the gallery be password protected?
Yes, of course! Let us know ahead of time on what access convenience option you prefer.
Can the photos be branded with my company logo or event details?
Yes, we can overlay photos with your event information, sponsor logo, and any other promotional branding elements. Additionally, we can help you create a customized set, from the background to unique props, so your entire experience will be unique.
Where does SnapFiesta provide service?
SnapFiesta is currently offering service in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Austin, Washington, D.C. and Dominican Republic. We are available for travel, and can fly pretty much anywhere with our setup.
Is it possible to project photos in real time?
As an upgrade, we have the capability to project a live feed from the photobooth anywhere inside your event.
Do you work at outdoor events?
The short answer is, yes! However, there are often more logistics to arrange with an outdoor event, so be sure to contact us so we can make sure we can help work out the details of your event.
How long can SnapFiesta stay at our event?
In most cases, our packages begin with an operation time of 3 hours, and we can accommodate full- and multi-day events.
Do you provide props?
Yes, a variety of props are available depending on which package you select. With advance notice, we can tailor a custom prop package for your event.
How long does it take to set up and break down?
It takes between 1.5-2 hours to set up and about 45 minutes to break down.
We are a non-profit, can you work with our budget?
From the very start of SnapFiesta we've always supported our community charities and foundations. Please contact us to receive a special non-profit rate for your event.

Of all the bands blowing up in the Boston music scene, you could almost call Pile the catalyst. Their versatility is staggering — their performance at Exploding In Sound's Anniversary show during CMJ was the heaviest and most mosh-happy set of the night and the next time I saw them it was an equally great solo acoustic set by frontman Rick Maguire. Pile have been fairly quiet since their 2012 album Dripping, but this new single is a welcome return. "Special Snowflake" is an epic, a multi-sectioned ride through nearly everything the band does well. Listen below.
The "Special Snowflake" single is out 3/11 via Exploding In Sound.

Product Description
KangerTech AeroTank V2
The AeroTank Version 2 from KangerTech is a dual coil glassomizer that offers a significant upgrade in adjustable airflow over the original Kanger Aerotank. The AeroTank Version 2 features KangerTech's newly redesigned airflow control system that allows the user to twist the valve for the desired airflow setting. This airflow ring on the base is no longer threaded like it was on the original AeroTank, thus allowing for a trouble free air adjustment. This tank is entirely constructed of stainless steel, minus the pyrex tank section. The atomizer heads that are included with this tank system are the original exposed wick dual coil heads; however, the most recent enclosed wick dual coil heads can also be used. Included in the box is the AeroTank V2, a beauty ring for eGo threading, (2) 2.0 ohm exposed wick dual coil atomizers, and a short instruction manual. This tank is a significant upgrade from the original KangerTech Aerotank clearomizer as the adjustable air flow has been greatly improved. It is fully rebuildable and is a must have for anyone who is a fan of KangerTech tanks. Because it is a dual 2.0 ohm coil, it is recommended to run on a mod/battery that is capable of running a voltage of 5.0 volts. It is a very aesthetically pleasing tank that suits both the Innokin iTazte MVP v2 and Innoking iTazte SVD extremely well. Overall, Kanger seems to be continuing to come out with great new products that are constantly improving.
What's in the box?
- Fully rebuildable Kanger AeroTank
- Adjustable Air Flow Base
- (2) 2.0 ohm dual coil atomizer heads
- Removable Drip Tip
- Beauty Ring
- Instruction Manual
- Weighs about 2.0 oz fully built with atomizer head inserted
- From the base to the tip it measures at just under 3 inches.
The AeroTank V2 from KangerTech is a great dual coil glassomizer that uses improved Kanger dual coil atomizer heads and allows for the adjustment of air flow to suit your needs. It is a great tank and is ideal for anyone who is seeking more flavor and control. All in all, a must have for anyone who is a fan of previous Kanger tanks.

.- As the EU court in Strasbourg prepares to issue a new ruling on the public display of crucifixes on June 30, the president of the Bishops' Conference of Russia, Bishop Joseph Werth, noted that the crucifix is not only a religious symbol but it also represents Europe's true identity.
"Religious symbols such as the cross are not only the sign of Christianity but also one of the most important elements of European identity," the bishop said.
In a statement published by L'Osservatore Romano, Bishop Werth recalled that "in Russia under the communist regime, many believers suffered persecution and society suffered from moral insanity." Given these facts, he continued, "pluralism and freedom of conscience do not imply restrictions on the rights of those who wish to live according to the spiritual and cultural heritage of our continent."
Bishops in Bulgaria, Poland, Greece, Slovenia and other countries have issued similar statements, asserting that Europe's foundation was built upon Christianity, which has the cross as its main symbol.

Donervon Daniels went back to West Brom at the weekend but Gills boss Peter Taylor hasn't ruled out a future return.
The young central-defender played just three games for Gillingham during his time at Priestfield. Taylor thinks Daniels has plenty to offer but needs time – something the Gills don't have at present.
The Gills boss said: "Donervon is a great lad but there is a difference between playing under-21 football there (at West Brom), which is nice football and coming and playing football for a struggling League 1 team.
"We are not out the woods and the difference was hard. He understood 100% and so did West Brom. I told them I had to be more sure if I was going to put someone in the team.
"Donervon has been good as gold and is someone I could be interested in later on but not at this particular time."
The difference between playing under-21 football for a top-flight side and playing first-team games is something that was highlighted by West Ham at the weekend, as their youngsters crashed to a 5-0 FA Cup defeat to a full-strength Nottingham Forest.
"There is nothing like result-football," said Taylor. "All managers want their young players to go out on loan. They call it the real world and that's what it is.
"To have the raving hump when you've lost is good for your career, because if it doesn't matter then there is no way you are going to put in that extra yard."

Music industry proves how out of touch it is with 'Ringles'
Boy, is the record industry ever scramblin'. They know the CD is just about dead, and now they're looking for a new way to make money off their artists. Their solution? Ringles. Nope, I'm not kidding, unfortunately for the record industry.
What, pray tell, are Ringles? Why, they're little CDs that will have three songs, a ringtone, and a desktop wallpaper on them. The price? Six to seven bucks. Here's a conservative prediction about Ringles: They'll be a horrible, horrible failure. People won't even know they existed they'll fail so fast. Seriously, $7 for a CD single, a ringtone, and a JPG? Are you kidding me? What kind of lobotomized jackass would buy that? Look, I know the marketplace is changing fast and you're trying to keep up, but at least try to maintain your dignity. That's pathetic.

BB cream for black sensitive skin
Sort By
I was wondering if anybody had any good suggestions for a BB cream for black sensitive skin. I'm based in the UK.
Thank you!!
Sleek's perhaps? It just released recently.
Try dr brant.
My skin's extremely sensitive & very dark & after trying them all can honestly say that GOSH BB Cream is the best. You can get it at Superdrug & even though its a budget-friendly but it gives a perfect finish & feels good on your face.

SPOILERS ABOUND! The traditional Disney musical is a genre that has been given the shaft in recent years. With Pixar becoming the foremost animation house in Hollywood, we've got films that are thematically deep and resonate in ways the older Disney musicals didn't. And while there's no denying the absolute cinematic quality of Pixar's films, there's a simple endearing quality to the likes of Aladdin and The Lion King that I have grown to miss. The quality I am talking about may not make me introspect like Pixar regularly does but makes me feel warm and gooey inside and feel good about [Read More…]
(SPOILERS ABOUND!) In the midst of an Oscar season filled with the usual dramatic fare comes David O'Russell's American Hustle to remind me why I began watching films in the first place: to be utterly entertained. Not that I don't mind or enjoy the more serious films we get in December and January, it just seems to me that sometimes we lose sight of the fact that having fun and being entertained are also perfectly good reasons to visit movie theaters. And they're also perfectly good reasons why a director may choose to make a film. There really is nothing [Read More…]

SPOILERS GALORE! I've now seen this summer's most anticipated film twice, and the experience was surprisingly different on each viewing. The first time around the film fell down in the weight of my expectations. How couldn't it? With a story by Christopher Nolan, screenplay by Nolan and David Goyer, and directed by Zack Snyder (of 300 fame), Man of Steel was the most anticipated worldwide film since last year's The Dark Knight Rises. Unfortunately, it didn't meet up to those standards. However, on a second viewing, after having removed my expectation-tinted glasses, I realize that it is a worthy reboot [Read More…]
What makes the Mass Effect trilogy one of the greatest game series of all time? That question will understandably generate a myriad of responses from the series' long-time fans. Some will highlight the breathtaking science-fiction world the creators gave us, vaguely reminiscent of Star Wars and Star Trek, yet completely new all the same. Some will point to the abundant gameplay options available to the player; whether playing as a Soldier, Engineer or Biotic, there was always something new to be found in each playthrough. Nearly everybody will point to the consequences the players' decisions have on the game world, with [Read More…]
Roger Ebert passed away yesterday night, finally succumbing to his long, arduous struggle with cancer. I woke up to the news today morning and haven't been able to think clearly, if at all, for the better part of the day. How can I even begin quantify the impact Roger Ebert has had on me, as well as scores of other filmbuffs? For me personally, he was the baptist. He was the one who inducted me into the world of cinephilia by a trial-by-fire. It was somewhere between 2003-05 when I began reading his reviews. I clearly remember thinking he was [Read More…]
There's a beautiful moment in the second half of Haridas where the child lets his father know exactly what it is that excites him. It is, at once, the first time the father stoops down to truly understand what drives his autistic son; the scene where the audience understands the significance of a totem the child has carried thus far; and the instant where the film finally kicks into gear. It is also one of the few truly cathartic sequences in a film which is otherwise muddled in the melodramatic conventions required of Tamil films. Not surprisingly, my mind floated back [Read More…]
As I exited the theater after watching Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty, I had a sinking feeling that had nothing to do with the film's quality and everything to do with the real-life events it recounted. I thought to myself, "The United States not only killed the most wanted man in history, they also made a fucking brilliant film about it. Respect! What has my country done lately? Nothing." This realization was quite depressing because of the truth in it. Zero Dark Thirty's retelling of the painstaking efforts of the CIA to find Osama Bin Laden's location followed by the US Navy SEAL's assault on [Read More…]
When Lincoln was initially announced, Liam Neeson was signed up to take on the challenge of bringing to life the 16th President of the United States. As someone who holds a great deal of admiration for Neeson, I was intrigued, not the least because it would've been one of his more showy roles in a long time. Of course, we all know what happened, Neeson, having lost his wife by the time the film went to floors, opted out of the project saying he was a little too old for the part, and Daniel Day-Lewis was roped in and what was already [Read More…]
P.S.: Although I've tried to avoid major spoilers, Special 26 is one of those films which works better if you enter the theater with no preconceived notions. So be warned! One of the defining aspects of Neeraj Pandey's films so far seems to be his usage of offhand shots/scenes to establish his characters. How else can you explain Naseeruddin Shah's conversations on the phone with his wife in A Wednesday! which are perfunctory to the overall plot? They serve no purpose other than to reveal something about this character. Will the film lose anything without these phone conversations? Certainly not. But they [Read More…]

The SL Shakespeare Company (SSC) integrates technology with professional rich content. Each play will be performed in a way that should excite both the zealous Shakespeare fan and the die-hard technologist. While the stage outfits may be recycled, the technology will likely continue to evolve with each new play.
Of course, the core of the fun rests in this creed: All of SSC's inworld shows in 2008ff will be performed live.
For our first play, Hamlet, we will be using state-of-the-art bot technology to represent the actors inworld. Different kinds of bots would be used, and they are best broken into two general categories. InfoBots, which are autonomous and feed directly on encoded data, and AvaBots, which require real time live input from actors to function. The latter kind of bots, which would fit on the live stage, would allow the actors to focus on their voice roles. Initially, we would synchronize the bots to the actor's lines for animations and gestures pertinent to the line. Plans of developing a standalone client with lipsynch and realtime motion-capture support feeding from an external server, similar to SL voice, are also underway. For both possibilities, bot-serialization would also eliminate the possibility of an actor or bot's crashing from affecting the play.
In our main location, the four-sim bridge-corners starting at the SL Shakespeare Company's plot on the southwest corner of sLiterary, actors would be able to ad lib according to will or that of the audience.
However, since we are using technology that can potentially be replicated ad infinitum, we can have an arbitrary number of affiliate sites. Both 4-sims and 1-sim affiliates would be able to participate. A 4-sim affiliate would have the whole enchilada (minus the potential for the actor's ad-libbing from offsite audience interaction), with actor-bots and a voice stream from the main site. A 1-sim affiliate would have a simulcast stream on a screen on the stage of the old SL Globe Theatre (1024m2 footprint).
In addition, we will also be expecting a degree of non-verbal audience interaction. Back in Shakespeare's days, the audience often threw hazelnuts and chickenbones on the stage during a play. Thus, for one method of non-verbal interaction, we will be providing attachments that would allow the audience to launch various temporary objects and particles onstage (or wherever they aim!). Conversely, those onstage would be able to interact with the audience in more than just verbal ways. For example, in scenes where blood is involved, quite a bit of gore may be flung onto the audience a la particles. Similarly, in scenes involving water, the front row should definitely be prepared for a splash!
Just as in Shakespeare's era, where groundbreaking entire theatres were built based on the best setup in former more-peripatetic ad-hoc "theatres" (on the bar in a pub, or in the general area of an inn), our theatre will be built based on both a combination of lessons learned from previous SL theatre productions and the technological and professional design support possible only from the best.

GEISHA TO GO LyricsArtist: Helmet
Album: Born Annoying
Inviting Jesus you're singing to me
Twelve again now it's Geisha-to-go and go
Shit, shower, shave, sit and watch the show
Young man waiting for a pig heart
Might die tomorrow or get a brand new start
My unemployment check must be lost in the mail
No life without it, It's the last on sale
Get a life
Color scheme, say you discussed
Cherry pop tart frosting now I dress you up
Sit down little doggie, mouth open real wide
Dream a big plate dinner, fill you up inside
All lyrics are the property of their respective authors, artists and labels.

Brookwood Cemetery, also known as the London Necropolis, is a burial ground in Brookwood, Surrey, England. It is the largest cemetery in the United Kingdom and one of the largest in Europe. The cemetery is a Grade I site in the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
Brookwood Cemetery was conceived by the London Necropolis Company in 1849 to house London's deceased, at a time when the capital was finding it difficult to accommodate its increasing population, of living and dead. The cemetery is said to have been landscaped by architect William Tite, but this is disputed.[5] By 1854, Brookwood was the largest cemetery in the world (it is no longer). Its initial owner incorporated by Act of Parliament in 1852, Brookwood Cemetery was consecrated by the Bishop of Winchester on 7 November 1854 and opened to the public on 13 November 1854. Over 235,000 people have been buried there.
Brookwood originally was accessible by rail from a special station – the London Necropolis railway station – next to Waterloo station in Central London. Trains, with passenger carriages and others for coffins and ready for safe carriage by horse-drawn vehicle ran into the cemetery on a dedicated branch from the adjoining South Western Main Line – a junction was just to the west of Brookwood station. The original London Necropolis station was relocated in 1902 but its successor was demolished after suffering bomb damage during World War II. Two stations were in the cemetery itself: North for non-conformists and South for Anglicans. Their platforms still exist. For visitors wishing to use the South Western Main Line, Brookwood station provides direct access since June 1864. A commemorative very short track with signpost and plaque which purposefully gives way to a grass field recollects the old final main stage of the journey of the interred.
A military cemetery was added to Brookwood in 1917 and contains some of the dead from World War I and World War II. A military memorial was built in 1958. Memorialised here too is Edward the Martyr,[6] King of England, whose relics are kept nearby in St Edward the Martyr Orthodox Church.
The London Necropolis Company was taken over by Alliance Property in 1959 [7] and the company was gradually divested of land and investments until by 1973, the cemetery was an independent entity. The cemetery changed hands between various development companies in the 1970s, during which time the cemetery maintenance was neglected: 1970 Cornwall Property (Holdings) Ltd, 1971 Great Southern Group, 1973 Maximillian Investments .[8] Maximillian investments secured the passing of the Brookwood Cemetery Act 1975 which authorised them to sell unused parts of the cemetery [9] and a few areas were sold for development. In 1985, Ramadan Güney acquired Brookwood Cemetery from the owner Mr D.J.T. Dally, who was previously the cemetery manager .[4] The purchase evolved from Güney's role as Chairman of the UK Turkish Islamic Trust, which wanted suitable burial facilities for its members.[3] The Brookwood Cemetery Society was founded in 1992 to organise events, promote the site's history and support restoration work. After Ramadan's death in 2006, he was buried in the cemetery and ownership passed to Ramadan's children (by his late wife) and operated by his son Erkin, a director at the cemetery for almost 30 years. Diane Holliday, Ramadan's partner of 6 years, was "frozen out" from the operating company and then dismissed.[1] In 2011, the inheritance of the cemetery was successfully challenged by Diane Holliday and her adult son Kevin.[2] This decision was upheld by the High Court on appeal in 2012.[1]
Brookwood Military Cemetery and memorials[edit]
Brookwood Military Cemetery covers about 37 acres (15 ha) and is the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in the United Kingdom.[10] The land was set aside during World War I to provide a burial site for men and women of Commonwealth and American armed forces who died in the United Kingdom of wounds. It now contains 1,601 Commonwealth burials from World War I and 3,476 from World War II (the latter including 3 unidentified British and 2 unidentified Canadian airmen). Within this, there is a particularly large Canadian section, which includes 43 men who died of wounds following the Dieppe Raid in August 1942. Two dozen Muslim dead were transferred here in 1968 from the Muslim Burial Ground, Horsell Common. The cemetery also has 786 non-Commonwealth war graves, including 28 unidentified French. It also contains Polish, Czech, Belgian and Italian sections.
The United Kingdom 1914-1918 Memorial stands at the north-eastern end of the 1914-1918 Plot. Created in 2004, it currently (1 June 2014) commemorates 320 Commonwealth service personnel who died in the First World War in the United Kingdom but have no known grave. (Those whose graves are subsequently discovered become commemorated under the respective cemetery.)[11]
The Brookwood Memorial stands at the southern end of the Canadian section of the cemetery and commemorates 3,500 Commonwealth men and women who died during the Second World War and have no known grave. This includes commandos killed in the Dieppe and St Nazaire Raids; and Special Operations Executive personnel who died in occupied Europe. The Brookwood Memorial honours 199 Canadian servicemen and women. The memorial was placed within a military cemetery near the theatre of operations.[12]
The nearby Brookwood (Russia) Memorial was erected in 1983 and commemorates forces of the British Commonwealth who died in Russia in World War I and World War II.
Brookwood American Cemetery and Memorial[edit]
This 4.5-acre (1.8 ha) site lies to the west of the civilian cemetery. It contains the graves of 468 American military dead and a further 563 with no known grave are commemorated. It is administered by the American Battle Monuments Commission. Close by are military cemeteries and monuments of the British Commonwealth and other allied nations.[13][14]

"As Polit Dueñas posits, the phenomenon of narco trafficking expresses an overwhelming challenge of representation. In this sense the author has successfully met the challenge head on. The text brings a fresh interdisciplinary mix of archival work and ethnographic involvement that fruitfully explores the conundrums of Latin American narco culture. As such it is a genuine contribution for understanding the troubled historical narco legacies of our time."—Oswaldo Benavides, Fordham University

I'm privileged to not only treat patients who have craniofacial deformities, but the more traditional orthodontic patient as well — who just have a few crooked teeth that they want to see improved.
One of our goals in treatment of craniofacial patients is to prepare them for whatever surgical intervention they're going to have, which may be with a plastic surgeon or with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. What we do as the orthodontist is we prepare them — get their teeth in a proper position so that the surgeon can do their job.
Growing up in a household where my father was an orthodontist, I was able to see the transformation and changes that he made in people's lives. And I knew that I wanted to do that as well.

BELLINGHAM — Loss of biodiversity appears to impact ecosystems as much as climate change, pollution and other major forms of environmental stress, according to a new study from an international research team headed by Western Washington University's Dave Hooper.
|Former WWU graduate student Daniel Slakey samples plant diversity while investigating the encroachment of exotic species as part of the research of Western Biology Professor David Hooper.
The study is the first comprehensive effort to directly compare the impacts of biological diversity loss to the anticipated effects of a host of other human-caused environmental changes.
The results highlight the need for stronger local, national and international efforts to protect biodiversity and the benefits it provides, according to the researchers, who are based at nine institutions in the United States, Canada and Sweden.
The study is scheduled for online publication in the journal "Nature" on May 2, and can be viewed online at http://www.nature.com/nature.
"Some people have assumed that biodiversity effects are relatively minor compared to other environmental stressors," said Hooper, the lead author of the "Nature" paper. "Our new results show that future loss of species has the potential to reduce plant production just as much as global warming and pollution."
Studies over the last two decades have demonstrated that more biologically diverse ecosystems are more productive. As a result, there has been growing concern that the very high rates of modern extinctions – due to habitat loss, overharvesting and other human-caused environmental changes – could reduce nature's ability to provide goods and services like food, clean water and a stable climate.
But until now, it's been unclear how biodiversity losses stack up against other human-caused environmental changes that affect ecosystem health and productivity.

In their study, Hooper and his colleagues used combined data from a large number of published studies to compare how various global environmental stressors affect two processes important in all ecosystems: plant growth and the decomposition of dead plants by bacteria and fungi. The new study involved the construction of a data base drawn from 192 peer-reviewed publications about experiments that manipulated species richness and examined the impact on ecosystem processes.
The global synthesis by Hooper and his colleagues found that in areas where local species loss this century falls within the lower range of projections (loss of 1 to 20 percent of plant species), negligible impacts on ecosystem plant growth will result, and changes in species richness will rank low relative to the impacts projected for other environmental changes.
In ecosystems where species losses fall within intermediate projections (21 to 40 percent of species), however, species loss is expected to reduce plant growth by 5 to 10 percent, an effect that is comparable in magnitude to the expected impacts of climate warming and increased ultraviolet radiation due to stratospheric ozone loss.
At higher levels of extinction (41 to 60 percent of species), the impacts of species loss ranked with those of many other major drivers of environmental change, such as ozone pollution, acid deposition on forests, and nutrient pollution.
"Within the range of expected species losses, we saw average declines in plant growth that were as large as changes seen in experiments simulating several other major environmental changes caused by humans," Hooper said. "I think several of us working on this study were surprised by the comparative strength of those effects."
The strength of the observed biodiversity effects suggests that policymakers searching for solutions to other pressing environmental problems should be aware of potential adverse effects on biodiversity, as well, the researchers said.
"Loss of biological diversity due to species extinctions is going to have major impacts on our planet, and we better prepare ourselves to deal with them," said University of Michigan ecologist Bradley Cardinale, one of the co-authors.
Still to be determined is how diversity loss and other large-scale environmental changes will interact to alter ecosystems. "The biggest challenge looking forward is to predict the combined impacts of these environmental challenges to natural ecosystems and to society," said J. Emmett Duffy of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science, a co-author of the paper.
Authors of the Nature paper, in addition to Hooper, Cardinale, and Duffy, are E. Carol Adair of the University of Vermont and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, Jarrett E.K. Byrnes of the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis, Bruce A. Hungate of Northern Arizona University, Kristen L. Matulich of University of California Irvine, Andrew Gonzalez of McGill University, Lars Gamfeldt of the University of Gothenburg (Sweden) and Mary I. O'Connor of the University of British Columbia and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis.
Funding for the study included grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis.
"This analysis establishes that reduced biodiversity affects ecosystems at levels comparable to those of global warming or air pollution," said Henry Gholz, program director in the National Science Foundation's Division of Environmental Biology.
"With this work, Professor Hooper and his colleagues have contributed significantly to our further understanding of the complexities of ecosystem dynamics, and its importance to society," said Jeff Wright, dean of the College of Sciences and Technology at Western. "Acknowledgement of the quality and rigor of this work through publication in a journal of the stature of "Nature" is one more example of the many valuable scientific contributions made by Western scholars."

Attorney 'shocked' by murder charge
Bouquets of flowers have been placed at the entrance to the abandoned City Concrete plant at 2 Hampton Road in Exeter in memory of Amanda "Amy" Warf, whose body was found inside last week. (JASON SCHREIBER/Union Leader Correspondent)
He was even more surprised when he learned that Warf's ex-husband, Aaron Desjardins, was charged in her murder.
Coughlin, a Portsmouth lawyer, was representing Desjardins while he and Warf ironed out the details of a parenting plan for their 11-month-old son, William, in the Brentwood Family Court.
Coughlin was hired just after their divorce was final in February 2012 and says he never saw any serious problems between the two.
They may have disagreed at times like many divorced couples, but Coughlin said it was nothing unusual.
"I hear about these things happening, and sometimes when I'm involved in a particular case I wonder if something bad might happen because of the nature of my client or the nature of the opposing party," he said. "This case didn't have that. It's surprising that he might somehow be involved."
The last time Coughlin spoke with Desjardins was a few weeks before prosecutors say he killed Warf by slitting her throat.
The body of the 36-year-old mother who worked at Exeter Hospital was discovered on the second floor of the abandoned City Concrete factory on Hampton Road in Exeter on March 7. Firefighters found her body while responding to a fire that prosecutors say was intentionally set, though Desjardins hasn't been charged with arson.
Just a few days after telling reporters he had nothing to do with her murder and that someone else had done it, Desjardins, 36, was arrested at gunpoint near his Epping home Tuesday and charged with first-degree murder.
Coughlin said he believes Warf and Desjardins were still seeing a co-parent counselor at the time of the killing and had a hearing scheduled in May.
"They were working on the minutia, the logistics of the parenting time that they would spend with William, but they had pretty much equally divided it, and they were trying to figure out when transfers would occur and things like that," Coughlin said.
Before his arrest, Desjardins told the New Hampshire Union Leader that he and Warf had "come to full agreement" on custody of their son.
"We were just going to put the ink on the paper," he said at the time, suggesting that all was well between him and Warf.
Unlike some couples, Warf and Desjardins didn't seem to have a problem getting together to work out their issues.
"They could meet in the same room. There were no domestic violence aspects of the case. No restraining orders," Coughlin said. "If it turns out that he was aggressive toward her during this event I certainly never saw evidence of that when I observed them dealing with each other."
At times, even Desjardins' new wife, Sarah, would attend meetings with Coughlin when Warf was also present. Court documents hinted at some tension between the two women in the past, but Coughlin said Sarah was "very helpful with him in parenting William."
According to Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell, William is now being cared for by other family members while Desjardins remains held without bail at the Rockingham County jail. He is due back in court for a probable cause hearing on March 22 at the 10th Circuit Court in Brentwood.

VATICAN LETTER Mar-18-2005 (980 words) Backgrounder. With graphic. xxxi
Moms' moral dilemma: When preserving life may mean death
By Carol Glatz
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Some Catholic women may have felt they were prescribed a hard pill to swallow when the Vatican openly praised an Italian woman who refused cancer treatment so she could carry her weeks-old embryo to term.
The story of Rita Fedrizzi made Italian and Vatican headlines in late January when she died of skin cancer just three months after delivering a healthy baby boy.
Doctors had recommended she undergo an abortion so as to pursue treatment for melanoma. She refused the abortion and all medical treatment, saying it would have been like "killing one of my other two children to save my skin."
The Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, said her sacrifice was "a courageous gesture ... a gesture of love and faith in order to let life win."
The paper recalled a similar, heroic gesture of another Italian woman, St. Gianna Beretta Molla, the "pro-life saint," canonized last May by Pope John Paul II for having put her unborn child's life before her own during her struggle with a benign uterine tumor.
By putting these acts of self-immolation in such bold relief, the church underlines its unwavering respect of the sacred value of the life of the unborn.
But what of the life of the woman carrying the child?
Just one month after Fedrizzi's death, the Vatican sponsored a conference devoted to "The Quality of Life and the Ethics of Health."
The late-February gathering discussed many issues, including the right of every person to life, health and treatment.
How were Catholic women to reconcile what on the surface seemed like two contradictory messages? Forgoing treatment for a pathological condition brought praise, even sainthood, from the Vatican, yet in the background there was the reminder that people have a responsibility to look after their health.
In the case of St. Gianna and Fedrizzi, "It was within their right to undergo treatment," even if the treatment would have "indirectly compromised the pregnancy," said Bishop Elio Sgreccia, head of the Pontifical Academy for Life.
Following the principle of double effect, the church teaches it is morally acceptable to undergo treatment for a serious medical condition even if the therapy is potentially harmful, even lethal, to an unborn child.
The "bad effect" of harm or death occurring to the fetus is tolerated only as long as the aim of the medical intervention is to acquire the "good effect" of helping treat the patient.
For example, "It would be morally acceptable for a woman to ask to remove a cancerous womb" even if she were pregnant, explained Redemptorist Father Brian Johnstone, an Australian moral theologian at Rome's Alphonsian Academy.
"If (the cancerous organ) is not removed, she will die and the fetus will die. The intention is not to kill the embryo, but to remove the cancer," he said.
But a woman is also justified in opting to refuse any treatment for a condition that may put her fetus at risk, Father Johnstone said.
"It is not morally required" by the church, he said, but the church recognizes such an act to be "a heroic decision to sacrifice oneself for someone else."
A heroic act is, in fact, one that is not obligatory, said Bishop Sgreccia. If it were obligatory to give up one's life so that another could live, it would no longer be an example of heroism or martyrdom, he told
Catholic News Service
By praising the sacrifice made by St. Gianna and Fedrizzi, the church "is not necessarily saying that forgoing treatment for a disease that might harm the child is the right thing to do," said Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk, a neuroscientist and director of education at the National Catholic Bioethics Center in Philadelphia.
"The church is rather recognizing that a voluntary decision on behalf of one's unborn child is a powerful sign in the midst of a culture of death where the unborn child is routinely sidelined at the slightest provocation," he told CNS.
Father Pacholczyk also warned that each case needs to be looked at thoroughly.
How far along Fedrizzi's melanoma had progressed at the time of its diagnosis was never mentioned in the news stories. Since melanoma is very difficult to treat after a certain point, he said there would be the question of whether a regime of chemotherapy would have offered any real benefit.
On the other hand, St. Gianna did undergo treatment for her uterine fibroid. Though benign, it could have led to fetal abnormalities or complications if left alone.
Surgical procedures in the 1960s, however, called for removal of her entire uterus. St. Gianna was a doctor and instead insisted surgeons only remove what was necessary and allow her baby to live and reach term.
Seven days after she gave birth, she died of an infection that "almost certainly occurred consequent to the Caesarian" delivery of the baby, wrote Father Pacholczyk in an online essay describing St. Gianna's medical condition.
Franciscan Father Maurizio Faggioni, a moral theologian, agreed each woman's case is different.
If a pregnant woman discovers she has a medical condition needing treatment that may potentially harm the fetus, she has a range of options open to her, including giving birth early if possible so as to begin therapy immediately, said Father Faggioni.
Many factors should be considered in deciding whether to opt for full medical treatment to save one's own life or to refuse treatment for the sake of the life of the fetus, said the theologians.
For example, "it would have to be taken into consideration" if a woman already had other children who were dependent on her, said Father Johnstone.
"No other person outside herself ought to tell her to sacrifice herself," said the priest.
"The church does give forth these examples (of heroism), but it also recognizes that people do have to live their lives and will use practical reasoning," he said.

DISPATCHER: 911 emergency, what is the location of the emergency?
Caller: We are the San Francisco International Airport
DISPATCHER: Okay and what at the airport do you need help?
Caller: We just got in a plane crash and there are a bunch of people who need help and there is not enough medics. That need help. There is a woman out here on the street, on the runway who is pretty much burned severely on the head and we don't know what to do.
DISPATCHER: Okay, we do have help started that way. You say that there is help, but there is not enough people, correct?
Caller: Yes. She is severely burned and she pretty much will die soon if we don't get any help.
DISPATCHER: We will begin to get additional help to you soon. Can you confirm the number you are calling from for me please?
Caller: She needs help
DISPATCHER: Where on the runway are you?
Caller: We are next to the United plane near the beginning of the runway where plane debris are. Where it first crashed
DISPATCHER: debris
Caller: where it first crashed
DISPATCHER: How old is she?
Caller: I don't know, I'm going to say about 25, 24? She is severely burned and she really needs help and I don't even know what to do. How do I? Is there any way we can assist her in any way?
DISPATCHER: I'm going to ask you a series of questions to see if I can see if I can get you any instructions. Just stay on the line with me.
Caller okay, okay.
CALLER 1: "Hi. Yeah, we just crash-landed on (indistinct) airlines, and it looks like it's on the south (indistinct), but not too many ambulances."
DISPATCHER: "Yes, we do have the ambulances and the fire department on the way."
CALLER 1: "Okay."
DISPATCHER: "Can you tell me, are there people that are trapped on the plane? I know some people have gotten off already."
CALLER 1: "I got — I think the majority of people got off. I tried to stay back, but I think there's at least a handful of people behind me, before everyone was telling us to get out, so…"
DISPATCHER: "Are you guys actually trapped, or just the people haven't gotten off?"
CALLER 1: "No, no. Every– most people have gone down the slide, and I think everyone's — there's some people going into the plane now, and…" (indistinct)
DISPATCHER: "…going back into the plane?"
CALLER 1: "The emergency crews."
CALLER 2: "Hi. We are at the San Francisco International Airport, and we just got in a plane crash, and there are a lot of people that need help… and anyways…" (indistinct)
DISPATCHER: "Are you with a lot of the ambulances that are there?"
CALLER 2: "No, they are not. We have — we have people over here who are — weren't found, and they're burned, really badly."
