Poaching, exploitation of non-timber forest produce, grazing significantly curbed: study
Even as biodiversity decline is being reported from national parks worldwide, Mudumalai and Anamalai tiger reserves in Tamil Nadu have shown positive trends in sustaining its rich variety of flora and fauna.
This is the conclusion of a study taken up in 60 reserves in various parts of the world by a team of biodiversity researchers numbering more than 200.
Raman Sukumar of the Centre for Ecological Sciences, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc), who was part of the team of researchers, told The Hindu that the mammalian fauna of Mudumalai was intact and, in fact, increasing.
Citing the example of both tiger and the elephant population in this dry, deciduous forest, Prof. Sukumar said: "The tiger is always considered as being at the apex of the food chain and also representing the health of the ecosystem. Similarly, the research has also showed that forest cover in both the reserves was largely intact for the past several decades."
"Protected areas are often thought of as the last bastions of plant and animal species in a world that is experiencing rapid erosion in biodiversity as a consequence of developmental pressure. This belief has never been explicitly tested worldwide to see how effectively protected areas are performing in the biodiversity rich tropical regions," he said.
The analysis published last month in the international journal Nature by a global consortium of conservation scientists examined the issue through data on biodiversity trends, developments and other environmental pressures over the last three decades at 60 protected areas across Asia-Pacific, African and American tropics, he said.
The study found that 50 per cent of the tropical reserves were experiencing serious declines in biodiversity, across many plant and animal groups. The ecological health of these protected areas was influenced not only by the levels of disturbance within the reserve but also the ecological pressures in the surrounding habitats.
Three important aspects mainly contributed to the biodiversity decline at the global level — habitat disruption, hunting and exploitation of forest produces. These parameters are under control in both Mudumalai and Anamalai Tiger Reserves. "In both the reserves, the forests are contiguous. Similarly, poaching and exploitation of non-timber forest produce have been significantly curbed over the past decade. Livestock grazing has also declined sharply in Mudumalai and its surrounding Sigur plateau," he points out.
Other side
However, there is a need for monitoring the impacts of invasive species such as Lantana camara, which has expanded its growth over a period of time. Similarly, the pollution level of the Moyar, the major river flowing through the Mudumalai reserve, from its catchment in The Nilgiris, needs to be curtailed, he emphasises.

But in the lawless microcosm of the island, is it really such a smart idea to play by the rules?
When a mysterious player confronts Ryouta with not a handful of bombs but the cruel blade of a knife, will he be able to think outside the video game box long enough to find a way to survive?!

John Brolick won two late-model titles each at both Raceway Park and Grundy County Speedway. He is a tire seller at Grundy and at Illiana speedways. | Tony Baranek/Sun-Times Media
Updated: September 16, 2014 6:38AM
Brolick, 54, of New Lenox, operates JC Race Tires along with partners Greg Craven and Bob Johnson at both Grundy County and Illiana speedways. An elevator repair man by trade, Brolick was a late-model champion at Raceway Park in 1994 and '97, and at Grundy County Speedway in '98 and '99. He retired after the 2000 season, but continued to own and work on cars.
What got you started in the tire business?
Just wanting to still be involved in racing and wanting to be here every week. It came available and it was just an opportunity for us to do something different.
What's the most satisfying aspect of being on this side of the racing fence?
The tires are just fun, because there are so many people who never had the opportunity to know how simple it really was to do your own tires and do them right. They've never had a teacher. Guys never really knew how to measure them, premeasure them, air them up. I think we've benefited a lot of them.
You retired as a driver pretty early in the game. Any regrets?
Oh, of course. But I don't regret why. I had to get out because I had children. If I got hurt, nobody would be there to get them through school. That doesn't make people bad because they race when they have kids, but my wife didn't work. If something had happened to me I was the only provider in the home. I have just as much fun helping people as I do racing myself.
Are you happy with the state of racing today?
I'm happy with the racing. I just don't understand how there are not more fans out there. I don't know where you'll find a more inexpensive place to bring your kids, the neighbors and have such a good time.
What made you such a successful race car driver?
I think that car preparation was 99 percent of it. We finished every lap and we didn't tear anything up. Everybody talked about Raceway, what a bull ring it was, but I never needed a new clip or a tail section. So we had to be doing something right.
What was the best moment of your racing life?
Oh, Pete Jenin's birthday bash (at Raceway Park). There was nothing better. I went to Lake Geneva (Wisconsin) once and had fast time out of 60 cars in my first ARTGO show, but Pete's bash was better than all of them. It was a blast, that was the race to win for me. I loved Raceway, everything about it.
How about at Grundy?
Grundy was my second-favorite (track). I had back-to-back championships there, that was fun. I don't think there's been better (competition) in years like it is now. It's just awesome racing, and these guys aren't wrecking anything. They're all respecting each other.
Now that the kids are older, could you see yourself maybe getting back behind the wheel?
You know, I don't think so. We still have cars in our stable. D.J. Weltmeyer drove one of them earlier this year. But I think it would be like a Michael Jordan thing. You come back and it's not so much fun if you can't be at the top of your game. I'm too competitive to go out there and just drive around.
As told to Tony Baranek

There are a lot of shows that focus on a place of business, and many of them get Strictly Formula after a while and need a Retool. Sometimes a change of management can bring life back into an old show, or at least add conflict for awhile. Sometimes this is an excuse to stage a Tyrant Takes the Helm story. Sometimes this is an excuse to stick the heroes in charge. Under New Management refers to a permanent change in management — or at least long enough for a full story arc. When the boss being replaced is back by the end of the episode it's a 10-Minute Retirement. This is not The Protagonist being thrust into a recently vacated position and suddenly finding himself in charge of an organization while he's still learning the ropes. That's You Are in Command Now. Often associated with We Don't Suck Anymore, They Changed It, Now It Sucks and Nothing Is the Same Anymore. If done badly can lead to Meet the New Boss.

Confessions of a Dysfunctional Blogger
I am new to the blogging world and have encountered some frustrations. I thought I would share them to see if others feel similar and/or to solicit the advice of those who are more experienced:
1) I am anal retentive. I cannot afford a nice camera, nor do I have access to photoshop to edit my photos. I am not at all happy with all of my photographs. Should I refrain from taking pictures until I have better equipment?
2) I am out of practice. I used to be quite a good writer and photogragher, but it's been a long time since I've allowed my creative juices to flow. I know what I am capable of, but I am frustrated that I am not able yet to executute the kind of quality that I want to represent on my blog. It's also very intimidating to be among such talented writers and photographers. Do I publish my sub-par blog posts and keep perfecting my work over time or do I keep my blog posts to myself until I am satisfied with the quality?
3) I'm a perfectionist. If it's not perfect it bugs me to no end. Does it have to be perfect to publish it? Will my audience be patient and interested in watching me grow or do they want to see perfection the first time?
4) I'm insecure. I really enjoy blogging, but I don't know if I'm all that good at it. How do you know if you're good at it? I certainly know I'm not as good as the majority of you. How can I build confidence in my abilities as a blogger?
5) I'm uneducated. I have enjoyed the technical aspect of teaching myself how to create my own website, but I've have no actually training. Can anyone offer advice on some good resources for new bloggers?
For those of you who have any thoughts or advice, I would really appreciate it if you could be willing to share them in the comments. Heck, if you want to write your own blog post in response to this, feel free! Unless I am a complete dysfunctional freak, perhaps there might be a couple of other folks that might find your feedback valuable as well!

What's Brewing
By Lauren Blake
Posted: Friday, Jan. 31, 2014
Brews and bar food have long been Plaza Midwood staples. But the newest addition to the collection, Pint Central, is adding a South American fusion twist to the neighborhoods typical beer-centric eatery. The Central Avenue spot offers a menu pairing Argentinian-influenced tapas and entrees with a curated list of more than 100 local and craft beers. Pint Central was launched by brothers Mario and Carlos Flynn, Argentinian natives who have called the U.S. home for more than 20 years with Mario working in local spots like Aroojis Wine Bar. Scheduled to open this month, the casual spot features two patios with uptown views sure to be neighborhood favorites once warm weather arrives.www.pint-central.com

The fact the Tanna is such an amazing place, you could probably have stayed anywhere and still enjoyed yourself but Tanna Lodge was a great choice. Very clean and spacious rooms. Staff are friendly and helpful, and will arrange any tours you wish to do. The highlight of staying at Tanna Lodge was the very friendly and boisterous Labrador, Prince. We definitely suggest taking Prince to the beach for an evening swim.
A few of the restaurant/bar staff spoke little to no English which made it very hard to explain my fiancés dietary requirements. Wifi is unusable, even sitting next to the modem doesn't get a stable connection but that can be expected on a third world island.
Beautiful location on Tanna Island, a nice break away from civilization
Extremely slow service, super overpriced, breakfast took about 2 hours to arrive...Lack of options for activities. They really rape you on activity pricing with a smile.
Vanuatuan bungalow village feel with luxury accommodation. Our villa was right beside the beach, the sound of waves while falling asleep was special. Staff very friendly and helpful, just ask and they will do anything for you. We loved all the tours Tanna Lodge organised for us. 3 nights min needed to see everything.
Tanna lodge is a small scale friendly place, with the rooms ("villas") scattered in a garden on the sea. The owners use local staff and materials. At my request the restaurant provided me with tasty vegetarian meals. There is free wifi in the restaurant. The tours to the vulcano and to the kastom village were excellent.
The room they gave me first (#17) did not at all resemble the pictures on the website. Villa#3 was much better, although a bit dark inside.
The comfort after spending the previous night in an amazing treehouse with very basic amenities. was great to have cold beer and selection of food and luxury bed
Ocean was rough and not good for swimming but that may have just been weather while we there
The staff was absolutely wonderful and Tanna is a gorgeous place. We will be back!
A better bar with more drinks selection would be great.
The staff were beautiful - happy, gentle and so accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. They helped with tours, massage requests and anything else we asked for. Ken was a master at taking us to the Volcano - he must know every inch of that bumpy road and the Island! The food was wholesome and check in/check out time was extremely generous, as was the welcoming lime juice and toast on arrival. Prince the dog is a lovely addition to a tight family feel.
The roads aren't great so be prepared for a rough ride but it's worth it. There was a grumpy Caucasian man we saw a couple of times and someone said he was the owner. He wasn't friendly (ignored everyone) and we heard him yelling at staff in the kitchen when the power failed momentarily. He was the only one that let the team down!
Warm welcome, atmosphere, swimming pool, private bungalow, dining room and food. Lobster was excellent. Hosts Hugh and Stella made us feel part of the wider family. Staff were friendly and helpful. Trip to Volcano was memorable!! Loved Tanna. It was special.
My blisters! Cheap Chinese shoes! (not the fault of this resort)
Leaving it. Rats in our room during the night along with many other bugs. Did not sleep a wink listening to them.
Rats. Food was way over priced, paying Sydney prices for very bland stuff. Fish came out completely raw, sent it back and it came out overcooked. Breakfast was served by one of the guys there that clearly felt it was beneath him and it felt like we were a burden. It is close to the airport (less than 20 mins) but around 90 mins to the volcano which is long considering the roads there. They forgot about out airport pickup, we waited for 30 mins before getting a taxi. They did pay the fare but only did because I had made a point of it when we arrived.
The view from the bungalow was fantastic, the outdoor shower was great, and you can't beat going to sleep to the sound of the ocean...
The Tanna Lodge team welcomed us with wide smiles and great hospitality for three nights on the amazing Island of Tanna. While there they helped us arrange our trip to the rumbling, erupting Mt Yasur volcano... and we enjoyed a great quad bike adventure to the 'custom village' with the local tribes. Great cultural experience. The food was excellent local fare, the pool lovely, and the villas comfy and clean. A definite must if you venture to the excitment of Tanna for a few nights!
not a great beach, but hey the volcano, poolside and the hospitality make up for that!
Friendly helpful staff, nothings a problem, great location, food ok, great lodgings, clean
non English speaking bar and wait staff (not a major issue - actually funny at times)
Quiet and laid back Friendly staff Trip to the volcano Good coffee for breakfast
Was quite expensive for what you got. Local village was a lot more than 15minutes a walk. No ceiling fan as specified. The beach wasn't really a swimming beach - rough waves with lots of sharp rocks
Firstly, Tanna Lodge is on an island where there is little tourist development. That is the charm of the experience. It's 30 minutes from the airport, thus nearer for the 1.5hr drive to the volcano. Other resorts are 2 hrs. Staff are friendly,obliging. Nice location with water outlook. Onside ring the remote limitations, good variety of local and imported menu options. Newly opened Futuna Cultural Village only minutes away is well worth a visit.
Did not dislike anything. Did not anticipate 5 star, did expect an island experience and that's what we got
The relaxed atmosphere,the friendly and obliging staff and a very amiable owner who has many interesting srories to tell. The layout of the grounds and bungalows is great. You will enjoy Tanna lodge and the Volcano tour.

Notes on the Geography of Uzbekistan
Unlike its neighbors, the government of Uzbekistan has allied itself to the United States, rather than to Russia. Frustrated Uzbeks see this as the root cause of their poverty, because it minimizes trade opportunities. Paradoxically, they like the United States. "Uzbekistan bad; America good," says the elderly caretaker of an abandoned madrasa in Bukhara. You wouldn't think he'd be so fond of a country whose government sits on him, but he's not making a political statement: he's just envying America its wealth, as you can tell when he rubs his thumb against his fingers.
The chapters here begin with the capital, Tashkent, then drift west and north to Samarkand, Bukhara, and Khiva. Finally there's a look at Soktare, a village an hour's drive from Bukhara and the birthplace of Sadriddin Aini, a dominant figure in 20th century Tajik literature.

This was a very easy install, took me less than an hour. Fitment is great and the sound is even better. This exhaust provides a deep idle and lower rpm note, but doesn't drone on the highway. My one recommendation would be to also get some extended length hangers, which I did not.

Very glad I went with the DC from autoanything l, it was easy to put in once I got the old rusty one off, has a nice tone that isn't too farty and a good hum.

Neonatal Resuscitation in Developing Countries
Principal Investigator: Waldemar A Carlo
Affiliation: University of Alabama at Birmingham
Country: USA
Abstract: DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application provides evidence that the proposed U.S. Principal Investigator has an established leadership record in the design, implementation, and publication of clinical trials, including several multicenter and single center trials. The assembled team consists of investigators highly qualified and motivated to perform the proposed work. A rigorously designed multicenter clinical trial of improved resuscitation to reduce mortality due to perinatal asphyxia is proposed. Perinatal asphyxia has been identified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as the most frequent cause of early deaths worldwide, accounting for about 20% of neonatal mortality. In Zambia, perinatal asphyxia accounts for about 40% of neonatal mortality. Although prompt resuscitation after birth can prevent many of the deaths and reduce disabilities in survivors from perinatal asphyxia, WHO has concluded that resuscitation is often not initiated or the methods used are inadequate or wrong. Neonatal resuscitation is a simple, inexpensive, readily available, and cost effective intervention. Even though the principles of the Neonatal Resuscitation Program are recommended for international application, this successful U.S. program has had no dissemination in many developing countries including Zambia, and its effects on neonatal outcome have not been tested in a randomized controlled trial. The proposed randomized controlled trial will determine if implementation of the combined Neonatal Resuscitation Program/Essential Newborn Care Program compared to only basic perinatal care education of health care providers (Essential Newborn Care Program only) results in reduced mortality due to perinatal asphyxia. The trial will be performed in four cities in Zambia. The study design will assure validity, accuracy, and precision of the estimate of the treatment effects. If effective, further efforts to train healthcare workers worldwide in neonatal resuscitation could result in important reductions in perinatal mortality and morbidity. Improved neonatal resuscitation for newly born infants with perinatal asphyxia may be one of the most cost effective interventions in perinatal care. The proposed team of investigators will work with the NICHD and other centers of the Global Network for Women and Children's Health Research to design, prioritize, plan, implement, analyze, interpret, and report innovative randomized trials and observational studies that are likely to improve maternal and childhood survival and other important outcomes. The qualifications and unequivocal commitment of the U.S. Principal Investigator, the Senior Foreign Investigator, and the team of investigators, as well as the full endorsement of the Government of Zambia, the University of Zambia, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham will ensure superior performance if this application is funded.

US bobsledder calls Olympic selections 'corrupt'
A U.S. bobsledder who was not chosen for the Sochi Games calls the selection process "corrupt" and questions why Lolo Jones received a spot on the women's Olympic roster.
AP Sports Writer
A U.S. bobsledder who was not chosen for the Sochi Games calls the selection process "corrupt" and questions why Lolo Jones received a spot on the women's Olympic roster.
Chuck Berkeley, who made the 2010 Vancouver Games team and was on the World Cup roster this season, said the teams for Sochi were chosen based largely on an athlete's popularity. He added that some sliders were favored over others with better credentials and that the USA-3 women's sled Jones is pushing at the Olympics would fare better with someone else in her spot.
"I get that people want to latch on to a media sensation and run wild," Berkeley told The Associated Press, referring to Jones. "But it comes down to this: There are athletes who deserve to be there who are not there, on the women's and the men's sides. And you have to ask yourself why is that the case. What is wrong with the selection process? Why is it flawed? Why is it corrupt?"
After hearing of Berkeley's remarks, U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation CEO Darrin Steele told AP on Wednesday that he stands by the team selections. He also noted how certain athletes who did not get picked for Olympic spots, like Katie Eberling, were able to accept roles as alternates and help the team in Sochi.
Eberling's omission was pointed out in a tweet by Berkeley on Tuesday night, where he said that the USA-3 sled would be better if she was in the second seat. Berkeley did not mention Jones in that tweet, though the jab toward Jones -- always a lightning rod for critics -- was thinly veiled at best.
"From my personal experience with Lolo, she's had a very bad attitude," Berkeley said.
He tweeted that he hoped the "marketing dollars" were worth the decision to put Jones on the Olympic team, though later clarified to AP that he thinks the attention the two-time Summer Olympian has brought bobsledding is a good thing.
U.S. officials have said that Jones' inclusion on the Olympic roster has not led to any sponsorship opportunities for the federation.
"The men's and women's teams, we kept our distance from each other this year because of Lolo Jones," Berkeley said in an interview hours after the initial tweet. "For no other reason. We like everybody else. It was because of Lolo Jones."
Jones and Jazmine Fenlator were 11th after Tuesday's first two runs of the women's bobsled event. They had the fifth-fastest average push times in the field on the opening night, and the other two U.S. sleds were in gold and bronze medal positions at the midway point of the competition.
Berkeley also had harsh words for U.S. coaches, calling them "complete idiots" without referring to any by name.
Berkeley, a push athlete, said he thought he should have made the Sochi team, and he does not plan on sliding again for the U.S. unless the federation makes major changes in leadership and coaching.
"I'll just say this: Cory Butner has never won a World Cup medal in his entire career as a driver without me in the back of his two-man sled, ever," Berkeley said. "So how does Chuck Berkeley stay home when that's the case? It's just weird. I've won medals before Cory Butner in two-man. It's strange to me that certain individuals who don't meet all the criteria points ... but someone else is going to go over you. At what point is the USBSF held accountable?"
Butner raced in the two-man competition at Sochi with Chris Fogt, the reigning U.S. push champion, in the back of his sled. They finished 12th.

Hamas arsenal hit but rocket know-how intact
Published on Nov 26, 2012 6:16 AM
GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories (AFP) - The distinctive whoosh of a longer-range rocket leaving Gaza set sirens wailing in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem within minutes, as Hamas militants broke new ground in the fight against Israel.
And although the Islamists' firepower was hard hit during its eight-day confrontation with Israel, Hamas has valuable technical knowledge at its fingertips which could be used to rebuild its arsenal.
In the first hours of Israel's bombardment of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, officials said the air force had destroyed the lion's share of the enclave's arsenal of rockets with a range longer than 40km.
"The army took out most of the rockets aimed at central Israel and thousands that were aimed at southern Israel," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told pilots who took part in Gaza sorties on Sunday.
