Kenya's pain, part two: decades of wildlife decline exacerbated by drought
(10/20/2009) Not many years ago if you were planning a trip to Africa to see wildlife, Kenya would be near the top of the list, if not number one. Then violent riots in late 2007 and early 2008 leaving a thousand dead tarnished the country's image abroad. When calm and stability returned, Kenya was again open for tourism, and it's true that most travelers were quick to forget: articles earlier this year announced that even with the global economic crisis Kenya was expecting tourism growth. However, a new disaster may not be so quickly overcome.
Arctic lake undergoing unprecedented changes due to warming
(10/19/2009) The Arctic should be growing cooler, but a new sediment core taken from an Arctic lake reveals that the lake's ecology and chemistry has been transformed by unnatural warming beginning in the 1950s. The sediment core proves that changes happening in the lake during the Twentieth Century are unprecedented over the past 200,000 years. Headed by University of Colorado scientist Yarrow Axelford, the study retrieved the sediment core from the bottom of a thirty foot deep lake on Baffin Island. Importantly the sediment core goes back 80,000 years further than any other core retrieved from the Greenland ice sheet, providing researchers with the longest timescale yet of changes in the Arctic climate.
Present day tropical plant families survived in warmer, wetter tropics 58 million years ago
(10/18/2009) Fifty eight million years ago the tropical rainforests of South America shared many similarities with today's Neotropical forests, according to research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Looking at over 2,000 fossils in Colombia from one of the world's largest open pit coal mines, scientists were able to recreate for the first time the structure of a long vanished rainforest. One inhabited by a titanic snake, giant turtles, and crocodile-like reptiles.
Freshwater species worse off than land or marine
(10/15/2009) Scientists have announced that freshwater species are likely the most threatened on earth. Extinction rates for freshwater inhabitants are currently four to six times the rates for terrestrial and marine species. Yet, these figures have not lead to action on the ground.
Brazilian beef giants agree to moratorium on Amazon deforestation
(10/07/2009) Four of the world's largest cattle producers and traders have agreed to a moratorium on buying cattle from newly deforested areas in the Amazon rainforest, reports Greenpeace.
Could agroforestry solve the biodiversity crisis and address poverty?, an interview with Shonil Bhagwat
(09/24/2009) With the world facing a variety of crises: climate change, food shortages, extreme poverty, and biodiversity loss, researchers are looking at ways to address more than one issue at once by revolutionizing sectors of society. One of the ideas is a transformation of agricultural practices from intensive chemical-dependent crops to mixing agriculture and forest, while relying on organic methods. The latter is known as agroforestry or land sharing—balancing the crop yields with biodiversity. Shonil Bhagwat, Director of MSc in Biodiversity, Conservation and Management at the School of Geography and the Environment, Oxford, believes this philosophy could help the world tackle some of its biggest problems.
Satellite lasers show melting of Greenland, Antarctic worse than expected
(09/23/2009) Researchers examining 43 million satellite measurements of Antarctica's thinning ice sheets and 7 million of Greenland's, show that the ice is melting faster than expected. Published in Nature the research is the most comprehensive picture to date of the melting glaciers, allowing scientists to better predict how sea levels may rise.
Fake Obama makes climate change top priority
(09/21/2009) In an effort to push the real President Obama to attend the UN Summit on Climate Change in December, a fake Obama took over on Friday.
Kenya's pain: famine, drought, government ambivalence cripples once stable nation
(09/17/2009) Kenya was once considered one of Sub-Saharan Africa's success stories: the country possessed a relatively stable government, a good economy, a thriving tourist industry due to a beautiful landscape and abundant wildlife. But violent protests following a disputed election in 2007 hurt the country's reputation, and then—even worse—drought and famine struck the country this year. The government response has been lackluster, the international community has been distracted by the economic crisis, and suddenly Kenya seems no longer to be the light of East Africa, but a warning to the world about the perils of ignoring climate change, government corruption, and the global food and water shortages.
Concerns over deforestation may drive new approach to cattle ranching in the Amazon
(09/08/2009) While you're browsing the mall for running shoes, the Amazon rainforest is probably the farthest thing from your mind. Perhaps it shouldn't be. The globalization of commodity supply chains has created links between consumer products and distant ecosystems like the Amazon. Shoes sold in downtown Manhattan may have been assembled in Vietnam using leather supplied from a Brazilian processor that subcontracted to a rancher in the Amazon. But while demand for these products is currently driving environmental degradation, this connection may also hold the key to slowing the destruction of Earth's largest rainforest.
Sea levels set to rise as Arctic warming replaces millennia long natural cooling cycle
(09/03/2009) According to a new study published in Science the Arctic should be cooling, and in fact has been cooling for millennia. But beginning in 1900 Arctic summer temperatures began rising until the mid-1990s when the cooling trend was completely overcome. Researchers fear that this sudden up-tick in temperatures could lead to rising sea levels threatening coastal cities and islands. "Scientists have known for a while that the current period of warming was preceded by a long-term cooling trend," said lead author Darrell Kaufman of Northern Arizona University. "But our reconstruction quantifies the cooling with greater certainty than ever before."
Political heat rising on climate change, but does the United States feel it?
(09/02/2009) The UN Summit on Climate Change isn't for three months, yet the political temperature has been rising steadily over the summer. The heat is especially focused on the three big players at the summit: China, India, and the United States.
Maldives president tells world: 'please, don't be stupid' on climate change
(09/01/2009) "Please, don't be stupid," Mohamed Nasheed told the world regarding the need to act decisively against climate change. To underlie his message, Nasheed announced that his country will become carbon neutral in ten years.
Summer sea ice likely to disappear in the Arctic by 2015
(08/31/2009) If current melting trends continue, the Arctic Ocean is likely to be free of summer sea ice by 2015, according to research presented at a conference organized by the National Space Institute at Technical University of Denmark, the Danish Meteorological Institute and the Greenland Climate Center.
Cost of climate change adaptation to be 2-3 times higher than current estimates
(08/27/2009) The cost of adapting to climate change will be significantly higher than estimated by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) warns a new report published by the International Institute for Environment and Development and the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College London.
Economic crisis threatens conservation programs and endangered species, an interview with Paula Kahumbu of WildlifeDirect
(08/17/2009) Founded in 2004 by legendary conservationist Richard Leakey, WildlifeDirect is an innovative member of the conservation community. WildlifeDirect is really a meta-organization: it gathers together hundreds of conservation initiatives who blog regularly about the trials and joys of practicing on-the-ground conservation. From stories of gorillas reintroduced in the wild to tracking elephants in the Okavango Delta to saving sea turtles in Sumatra, WildlifeDirect provides the unique experience of actually hearing directly from scientists and conservationists worldwide.
China moves forward on global warming: top scientists recommend emissions peak in 2030
(08/17/2009) In a move that many have seen as a step forward for China in terms of its willingness to combat climate change, the nation's top climatologists have released a report recommending that China begin drawing down greenhouse gas emissions after 2030. The report comes just four months before a widely anticipated global meeting to set up a new international framework to combat climate change in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Historical deforestation in Madagascar may not be as bad as commonly believed
(08/12/2009) The long-held assumption that Madagascar has lost 90 percent of its forest cover due to fire and slash-and-burn agriculture may be overstated, argues new research published in Conservation Letters. Analyzing 6000-year pollen records in four sites, Malika Virah-Sawmy of Oxford University found evidence that vegetation in southeast Madagascar has for millennia been a mosaic of forests, woodlands and savannas, rather than continuous forests as generally believed. Virah-Sawmy says the findings demonstrate the importance of conserving Madagascar's remaining ecosystems as a buffer against climate change.
Loss of Great Barrier Reef due to global warming would cost Australia $37.7 billion
(08/12/2009) A recent study reports that the loss of Australia's Great Barrier Reef due to climate change poses a catastrophe not just for marine life, but would cost $37.7 billion during the next century.
Climate change will challenge US military
(08/11/2009) US military intelligence analysts claim that climate change will present significant strategic issues around the world. The increased occurrences and severity of storms, droughts, resource shortages, and the spread of disease are all linked to climate change.
Photos: hundreds of new species discovered in Himalayan region, threatened by climate change
(08/10/2009) Scientists from a variety of organizations have found over 350 new species in the Eastern Himalayas, including a flying frog, the world's smallest deer, and a gecko which has walked the earth for 100-million-years, according to a new report by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The report, entitled Where World's Collide, warns that these rare biological treasures, as well as numerous other species, are threatened in the Eastern Himalayas by climate change.
Ban Ki-Moon: climate change 'greatest collective challenge we face'
(08/10/2009) United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon spoke on Monday of the challenges facing the world and singled out climate change as the greatest.
Large Trees Declining in Yosemite
(08/07/2009) A recent study by the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) indicates a substantial decline in the number of large-diameter trees in Yellowstone National Park. Between the 1930s and the 1990s there was a 24% decline in large diameter trees.
Indigenous communities threatened by climate change
(08/03/2009) Indigenous cultures around the world are facing increasing threats with the effects of climate change. In addition to the myriad organisms condemned to extinction by climate change, many indigenous human cultures are also in danger. Entire island populations must relocate as rising ocean levels bring devastating storm surges, food supplies for tropical communities are becoming scarcer, and remote Arctic populations are becoming more isolated as polar ice vanishes.
Global warming-induced forest fires to increase health risks in western U.S.
(07/28/2009) Warmer, drier climate in the American West will increase the incidence and severity of forest fires, worsening air quality, reports a new study accepted for publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres.
Global warming may reduce lifespan of cold-blooded species
(07/27/2009) Cold-blooded animals, including fish, amphibians, crustaceans, and reptiles, seem to live longer under cooler conditions, suggesting that warming climate could have impacts on the lifespan of creatures whose body temperatures vary with the temperature of their surroundings, report researchers writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Global ocean temperatures at warmest level since 1880
(07/21/2009) Global ocean temperatures rose to the warmest on record, according to data released last week by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The combined average global land and ocean surface temperature for June was second-warmest since global recording-keeping began in 1880. NOAA also reported a return of el Niño, raising the prospect of dryness—and risk of forest fires—in Southeast Asia.
Global warming may be causing animals to shrink
(07/20/2009) Warming climate may favor small species over large ones, reports a study published Monday in the early online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
NASA reveals dramatic thinning of Arctic sea ice
(07/07/2009) Arctic sea ice thinned dramatically between the winters of 2004 and 2008, with thin seasonal ice replacing thick older ice as the dominant type of sea ice for the first time on record, report NASA researchers. Scientists from NASA and the University of Washington used observations from NASA's Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) to make the first Arctic Ocean basin-wide estimate of the thickness and volume of sea ice cover. The researchers found that overall Arctic sea ice thinned about 17.8 centimeters (7 inches) a year, for a total of 67 cm (2.2 feet) over the four winters from 2004 to 2008. The total area covered by thick older ice that survives one or more summers ("multi-year ice") shrank 42 percent or 1.54 million square kilometers (595,000 square miles), leaving thinner first-year ice ("seasonal ice") as the dominant type of ice in the region.
Extinction risk for Amazonian plants may be lower than previously estimated
(07/06/2009) Five to nine percent of the Amazon's 40,000 known species of plants will be at risk of extinction by 2050 should current deforestation trends continue, report researchers writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The estimates are sharply lower than the 20 to 33 percent predicted in other studies.
Global warming causes sheep to shrink
(07/02/2009) Climate change is shrinking Scotland's wild Soay sheep despite the evolutionary advantages of having a large body, report researchers writing in the journal Science. The results suggest that the decrease is primarily an ecological response to environmental variation over the last 25 years, rather than evolutionary change.
869 species extinct, 17,000 threatened with extinction
(07/02/2009) Nearly 17,000 plant and animal species are known to be threatened with extinction, while more than 800 have disappeared over the past 500 years, reports the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). While these numbers are substantial, they are likely "gross" underestimates since only 2.7 percent of 1.8 million described species have been assessed. The IUCN report warns that governments will miss their 2010 target for reducing biodiversity loss.
Scientists call on Obama for 'maximum personal leadership' to combat global warming
(06/22/2009) Twenty leading scientists have called on President Obama "to exercise maximum personal leadership" in tackling the threat posed by climate change.
New report predicts dire consequences for every U.S. region from global warming
(06/17/2009) Government officials and scientists released a 196 page report detailing the impact of global warming on the U.S. yesterday. The study, commissioned in 2007 during the Bush Administration, found that every region of the U.S. faces large-scale consequences due to climate change, including higher temperatures, increased droughts, heavier rainfall, more severe weather, water shortages, rising sea levels, ecosystem stresses, loss of biodiversity, and economic impacts.
Will jellyfish take over the world?
(06/16/2009) It could be a plot of a (bad) science-fiction film: a man-made disaster creates spawns of millions upon millions of jellyfish which rapidly take over the ocean. Humans, starving for mahi-mahi and Chilean seabass, turn to jellyfish, which becomes the new tuna (after the tuna fishery has collapsed, of course). Fish sticks become jelly-sticks, and fish-and-chips becomes jelly-and-chips. The sci-fi film could end with the ominous image of a jellyfish evolving terrestrial limbs and pulling itself onto land—readying itself for a new conquest.
Photo: guano stains helps researchers track penguins by satellite
(06/10/2009) Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have uncovered a novel way to locate the world's largest penguin's breeding sites, employing satellite imagery they seek out Emperor penguin guano, droppings which show up starkly on the otherwise unsullied white sea ice of Antarctica. Searching for the penguins themselves had proven too difficult, since the birds' black-and-white coloring allowed them to blend in with the shadows made by the ice. The penguin droppings however are light-brown—a colors that has no other source on sea ice, besides guano.
Network of parks can save Africa's birds in warmer world
(06/02/2009) As Africa's birds are forced to move habitats due to climate change, a new study finds that the continent's current park system will continue to protect up to 90 percent of bird species. "We looked at bird species across the whole network of protected areas in Africa and the results show that wildlife conservation areas will be essential for the future survival of many species of birds," said Dr. Stephen Willis from Durham University. "Important Bird Areas (IBAs) will provide new habitats for birds that are forced to move as temperatures and rainfall change and food sources become scarce in the areas where they currently occur. Protected areas are a vital conservation tool to help birds adapt to climate change in the 21st century."
Permian mass extinction caused by giant volcanic eruption
(05/28/2009) Two hundred and sixty million years ago the Earth experienced its worst mass extinction: 95 percent of marine life and 70 percent of terrestrial life vanished. Long a subject of dispute, researchers from the University of Leeds believe they have confirmed the reason behind the so-called Permian extinction.
Starfish may benefit from global warming
(05/25/2009) Climate change is expected to cause widespread disruptions to ecosystems and their resident species. Some creatures will go extinct, others will expand their ranges and thrive. A new study identifies starfish as one of the likely winners from rising ocean temperatures and carbon dioxide concentrations.
Drought threatens rare desert elephants
(05/21/2009) The worst drought in 26 years is threatening a rare herd of desert elephants in the West African country of Mail, warns the conservation organization Save the Elephants. The herd of 350-450 desert elephants live in the Gourma district of Mali,resting in the Sahel belt that separates the Saharan desert from the Sudan.
Study refutes criticism of polar bear listing under the Endangered Species Act
(05/20/2009) In May 2008 the Bush Administration listed the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The listing immediately received allegations of being politically biased and not based on sound science. However, a new paper addresses the allegations point by point and concludes that the decision to add the polar bear under the ESA was not only scientifically sound, but right.
Global warming pushes mammals north in Michigan
(05/14/2009) A new study shows that mammals in the state of Michigan are moving north because of climate change, pushing out other species on the way. Researchers studied the distribution and population of nine small mammals from live-trapping data over 30 years and notes from research museums covering the past hundred years. They utilized over 14,000 records covering the nine species.
Blue whales return to migration pattern used before commercial whaling
(05/13/2009) The blue whale may be returning to a migration route that it abandoned during commercial whaling. Researchers have discovered whales migrating from California to the coastlines of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska for the first time since 1965. Fifteen different cases of whales have been recorded in the north Pacific; four of the whales were individuals who had been viewed off the coast of California, as well.
Near-record flooding in the Amazon
(05/13/2009) Near-record flooding has displaced thousands of people in the Brazilian Amazon, reports the Associated Press.
Global warming to cripple Southeast Asia economically
(04/28/2009) By the end of the century nations in Southeast Asia will face debilitating economic loss due to global warming, according to a new study from the Asian Development Bank. Analyzing Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam the study found that they could suffer an annual loss of 6.7 percent ($230 billion dollars) in combined gross domestic product by 2100, more than double the global average which is estimated at a loss of 2.6 percent.
Antarctica's sea ice increasing due to ozone hole, but scientists predict global warming will catch-up
(04/23/2009) Increasing ice in Antarctica is not a sign that the earth is actually cooling instead of warming as some climate change-skeptics have attested. A new study finds that the growth in Antarctic ice during the last 30 years is actually due to shifting weather patterns caused by the hole in the ozone layer. The researchers predict that eventually global warming will catch up to Antarctica leading to overall melting as it has in the Arctic.
River systems worldwide are losing water due to global warming
(04/22/2009) Many rivers around the world are losing water due to global climate change, according to a new study from the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate. Large populations depend on some of the rivers for everything from agriculture to clean drinking resources, including the Yellow River, the Ganges, the Niger, and the Colorado, which have all shown significant declines.
Colorado River unlikely to meet current water demands in warmer, drier world
(04/20/2009) Feeding the water habits of such major cities as Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Phoenix, in addition to providing irrigation waters for the entire Southwestern United States, has stretched the Colorado River thin. The river no longer consistently reaches the sea as it once did. Now a new study warns that the Colorado River system, which has proven dependable for human use throughout the 20th Century, may soon experience shortages due to global warming.
Global warming could turn forests from sink to source of carbon emissions
(04/16/2009) Rising temperatures could reverse the role forests play in mitigating climate change, turning them into net sources of greenhouse gases, reports a new assessment by the International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO). The report, titled "Adaptation of Forests and People to Climate Change – A Global Assessment" and authored by 35 forestry scientists, examined the potential impacts of climate change across the world's major forest types as well as the capacity of forest biomes to adapt to climate shifts. Among the conclusions: a 2.5-degree-C rise in temperatures would eliminate the net carbon sequestering function of global forests. Presently forests worldwide capture about a quarter of carbon emissions.

According to a report from LA Weekly, Coachella may be delayed due to environmental concerns expressed by Indio locals.
The city of Indio postponed the signing of a contract with Coachella promoter and organizer Goldenvoice. The hesitation comes from mounting pressure put on Indio by neighboring city La Quinta, which is lobbying in favor of an environmental review of the rapidly growing music and arts festival.
La Quinta suggests that Indio and Goldenvoice should conduct an assessment under California Environmental Quality Act to determine how the traffic, noise and pollution connected with the festival affects the environment.
Coachella brings nearly 75,000 people and has expanded this year and will be held over two weekends in April rather than just one. The review could cause a delay in the planned dates.

This was not about the GOP.
Submitted by Unknownuser on Wed, 11/06/2013 - 12:12. Permalink
This was not about the GOP. Cuccinelli was a Ron Paul guy.
It seems that the LP used the Ron Paul supporters to get exposure in 2012 and slapped them in the face last night. They turned the Liberty movement into a 3rd party movement.

Komodo dragon bites 2 in officeFebruary 07,2013Komodo dragon
bites 2 in office
JAKARTA, Indonesia Two people have been hospitalized after being attacked by a giant Komodo dragon that wandered into the office of a wildlife park in eastern Indonesia.
An official at Komodo National Park, Heru Rudiharto, said Wednesday the 6½-foot-long Komodo dragon attacked a park ranger after walking into the office on Tuesday.
It then attacked another park employee who came to help him. Both were badly bitten and were evacuated to a hospital on Bali Island.
Rudiharto said the park ranger also was attacked by a Komodo dragon in 2009.
Endangered Komodo dragons can grow longer than 10 feet. Fewer than 4,000 are believed to be alive. They are found in the wild primarily on the eastern Indonesian islands of Komodo, Padar and Rinca.MORE IN Wire NewsHARTFORD, Conn. Richard C.

Full review: Not so sure (6/5/2008)
The nickel slots are bright, noisy: Bien Shur is subdued, quiet, tasteful. The dining room is classy and beautiful but still comfortable, leaving diners to contemplate the wonderful contemporary cuisine and stunning views of the city and Sandia mountains. After your meal, you can head back downstairs into the casino scuffle for some live jazz in the Tlur P'a Lounge and a hand of video poker. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Full review: You say Confucius, I say Zen (3/10/2011)
Dim sum and sushi under the same roof? It's like a dream come true. The beautiful interior of the antique filling station just east of the federal courthouse is a marked change from the cozy home interior of where AmerAsia used to reside near the University. Hyangami Yi's food is just as good as ever. Expect her familiar dim sum plates and buns, and feel free to order sushi like you've never had in this town from her brother Woo Youn. He's got all the usual sashimi and nigiri in his adjoining restaurant, but it's the original, creative rolls that really set Sumo apart—that, and the adorable little train that ferries your pickled ginger around the sushi bar.

Full review: Cable darling, red chile queen (2/18/2010)
This little restaurant clings close to the heart of Downtown on Sixth Street and Silver, and the food is actually made by Cecilia herself in the kitchen. The tacos, burritos and enchiladas are traditional, tasty and pretty friggin' cheap, too. The red chile packs a wallop, and Cecilia's is even open on Sundays. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Full review: Seriously sexy food (12/25/2008)
Across Edith from the Artichoke Café, Farina's proximity to some of the most established fine dining in Albuquerque isn't an accident. Farina is the punked-up younger sibling of jazzy Artichoke Café, and it brings a tantalizingly direct message to the neighborhood: pizza, beer and wine, and all of it damn good. Sharp, concise and to the point, with 20 superb choices offered by the glass or bottle. Farina's wine list is straightforward and focused. The bar is comfortable and every wine is perfectly matched to the kitchen's chic pizzeria offerings. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Full review: Twenty more years (9/21/2006)
This ray of sunshine in Huning Highland serves gourmet breakfast and lunch, sells house-made English muffins, and has a mini-shop filled with goodies like honey, jams, mustards and vinegars, not to mention non-edibles like cook books, serving vessels and cards. A tiny wine list is just as chic—five reds and five whites are marked on a chalkboard, and all are constantly changing. This list is extremely well thought-out and offers a sampling of some of the most esoteric varietals and brands available in Albuquerque. There's also a large, shaded patio, incredible house-made cupcakes and too-cute French macarons. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Their menu changes weekly, but Hartford Square always features high quality, locally-sourced food with both eat-in and take-out options. Salads are well stocked with fresh, seasonal ingredients and there are always a few hot options like Canadian salmon or ratatouille pot pie. If you're early enough, you'll get first crack at the crossword in the house copy of the New York Times. (Alibi Staff, September 12, 2013)

Full review: The view from Ibiza (5/30/2013)
This rooftop bar, the flirty sister of the fancier (and pricier) Lucia, offers a breezy patio, a menu of small plates and specialty cocktails for the Los Angeles-inclined Downtown crowd. The food is hit or miss, but the house-created cocktails—like the spicy-yet-refreshing cucumber-jalapeño margarita—make it well worth a visit. (Alibi Staff, October 10, 2012)

Full review: This ain't your mama's meatloaf (1/3/2008)
Modeled after a New York loft, Slate Street's wine bar has an ultra-hip, modern, minimalist feel. This wine list is rhythmic, flowing and poetic, and it's the most pleasurable to read and easiest to comprehend in Albuquerque. The wines are listed by style—"just a little sweet," "ABC: Anything But Chardonnay" or "sexy, elegant, austere"—not varietal or region. Demystifying the label like this makes it easy for patrons to pair wine and food. The listings are simple, but not simplistic. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Full review: They're missing a brick, but only one (7/13/2006)
Forget everything you know about typical diners. Add class, upscale furnishings and a larger price tag, and then you'll have the Standard Diner. They have oysters, fine wines and homemade desserts, and some interesting twists on ordinary fare like meatloaf and mac and cheese. The service is doting, the view of our beloved Huning Highland is representative and if you need a restaurant to take your boss to, try kissing his rings while downing a nice glass of Port. It might make it a little easier. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Full review: Another fish in the pond? (8/21/2008)
Downtown's circle of Asian restaurants widens with Sushi Hana, a straight-shooting sushi joint with some Korean influences (it's from the former owner of Yen Ching). Small and boldly decked in red and black, you'll find affordable, familiar rolls in a contemporary atmosphere. Great for a quick lunch or a half-price sushi happy-hour trip (served from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. weekdays). (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Open only for breakfast and lunch, Zohra's caters to the 9-to-5 crowd with a little bit of everything a Downtown diner could possibly want: Afghani foods, American standbys, even Indian tacos. But stick with the Middle Eastern stuff, including a number of vegetarian choices that come à la carte or as a meal. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Full review: And Chopstix Chinese Cuisine proves it (1/9/2014)
Chopstix is a real culinary adventure with authentic Beijing-style cuisine. You'll find dishes like sweet red bean-stuffed steamed buns, dan dan noodles, mustard and dried bean curd, and stewed chicken feet. Amuse your server to no end by ordering the salted pork noodles, a traditional dish that "only Chinese people like!" A few bucks gets you a huge bowl filled with a rich, porky broth, rice noodles, bok choy, tripe and irregular chunks of pork belly, striated with fat and muscle—not for the meek of pork, to be sure.

Full review: Barbecue for the soul (7/30/2009)
Proprietor Daniel "Pepper" Morgan has an impressive résumé. More importantly, he learned to cook from his grandmother, who taught him the recipe for her barbecue sauce (tangy, smoky and practically drinkable) and passed on to him the soul of soul food. All of the barbecue at Pepper's is spectacular. On the side, good luck choosing between collard greens with smoked turkey, garlicky mac 'n' cheese, molten-hot fried okra and sweet potato corn bread. Closed Sunday. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Full review: A predictable bet (10/9/2008)
There's not a whole heck of a lot to eat this far north in the city, so Far Northeast Heights dwellers are happy this clean, reliable Chinese joint set up in their neck of the woods. Serene earth tones and tasteful lighting set the tone. On the table, sesame chicken displays perfectly fried breading that's crisp without being greasy and is generously sauced with sweet and savory soy notes. Wash those heavier fried foods down with a light, crisp Chinese beer. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Full review: Prefab Pacific whim (1/11/2007)
This Asian-American eatery has a reputation for retro Pacific Rim decor and the clink of drinks with little umbrellas in them. If you're in the mood for East-meets-West fare like lettuce wraps, quaking beef or Tokyo crispy tofu, then load up the Prius and take a drive down Paseo del Norte. You'll also find a large selection of fine loose teas and more liquor than you can shake a limbo stick at. Have a yen for wine? Here it comes in white, red and plum. (Alibi Staff, October 10, 2012)

Full review: Omnivore's delight (2/4/2010)
Every time we go to May Hong we kick ourselves for not going there more often. This place is great! The papery skins of the Vietnamese egg rolls are always perfectly golden, and the cinnamony pork perfectly tender. The menu here is expansive, but you can hardly go wrong. Just close your eyes and drop your finger anywhere— bun bo hue (spicy beef soup), ginger mussels and goi chai (Vietnamese salad) are particularly good. Wash it all down with a jasmine limeade or jackfruit julius. Just don't go on Sunday—it's closed. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Full review: Tempting tempura (11/30/2006)
Since we're long past the point when sushi was considered too exotic for New Mexico, it's time to start paying attention to other fine Japanese favorites like tempura, hibachi-grilled meats and seafood, teriyaki without the La Choy, and the beauty of udon noodles. Mr. Tokyo is modestly sized, moderately priced, and an excellent place for a quick, relaxing lunch or a quiet dinner with friends and family. They have mostly repeat customers because they're just so darn good, and the owner's pint-sized daughter, Shyana, will even wipe off half your table for you (give her a break, she's still a shortie).

We're pretty sure if you take any food and stuff it with cheese, dip it in batter and deep-fry the sucker until it's crunchy and golden-brown, it's going to be good. But try the relleno at Papa Nachos—you'll taste art. While you're at it, try the unique green chile sauce (which happens to be excellent on turkey) or any of the burritos wrapped in fresh, tender tortillas. Closed Sunday and Monday.

R5m stolen cables found on truckComment on this story
Johannesburg - When Joburg metro police department (JMPD) officers pulled over a rusty 18-wheeler truck, it was just to check if it was roadworthy.
What they found instead were electricity cables worth almost R5 million.
The truck was pulled over around 1pm on Sunday.
The officers noticed that the web of tangled cables protruding from the top of the truck's dumping bed belonged to City Power.
"The officers were working on the corner of Crownwood Road (Ormonde). A white Mercedes with two white male occupants was escorting the truck.
"They told the officers that if they escort them to Denver, they'll give them R15 000 cold, hard cash," said JMPD spokeswoman Edna Mamonyane.
The officer pretended to accept the offer, but called for back-up instead. He said he would write them up for a minor offence.
When the back-up arrived, the Mercedes sped off and the truck driver was left to explain the stolen goods.
"When they (the officers and the truck) arrived at Booysens, a black Range Rover arrived and the occupant asked to see the arresting officer. He then offered the officer R60 000 to release the truck."
As the officer was about to call for back-up, that car sped off too.
"City Power have confirmed that the cables are theirs. The cables will be taken by City Power to be secured," Mamonyane said.
The truck bearing the stolen cables had two different business names on it, one on each of the passenger doors. One was for a company in Randfontein and the other for a business in Vanderbijlpark.
Mamonyane said the driver had been arrested and would be charged with possession of stolen cables.

Happy New Year my Sparkfriends!! I wish you all the successes, laughter, joy and precious memories for 2014!
I have not written a blog in more than a year. My last blog in 2012 featured what I considered my fitness bucket list...let's just say that list still remains a bucket list. The truth is that in January 2013, I suffered another back injury...this time, another disc tore in my lower back and after several "second" opinions, surgery was on the table. I will never forget the pain that tore through my lower back to my left ankle. I will never forget the crying in pain every morning when I woke up. I will never forget the fact that I could not control my bladder in the mornings and almost peed on myself. I will never forget the numbness of two toes and the limping. I will never forget the 8 tablets a day that I took that barely gave me relief! Reluctantly, I agreed to surgery for July 5, 2013. I am so happy and grateful for the prayers, concerns and well-wishes from my family, friends and sparkfriends. I am also grateful that I met my new physiotherapist who uses water therapy in her sessions in June 2013. By the time, I went for my surgery consultation, the pain and numbness were gone. My neurosurgeon cancelled the surgery! Glory to God! That is my biggest testimony for 2013!
Fast forward to 2014!
I have gained over 40lbs! No Excuses...But the truth is I did not exercise for more than 6 months. I was on medication. And my diet was not the best! That is the naked truth!
I won't put any fancy goals or new year's resolutions. I just want to lose the 40lbs I gained. How I plan to do that and do it safely with no damage to my back?
1. Eat clean at least 80% of the time! Following the 80/20 rule as written by Chris Freytag! Loved that article. I have attached the link for your reading pleasure.
2. Exercise at least 5 days a week. My workouts will include Chris Freytag's workouts, Les Mills Combat (purchased that today), Taebo and Leslie Sansone walking videos.
3. Listen to my body...more like listen to my back. Don't push it!
Simple goals. For the month of January, I have given up cakes! I love cakes but need some discipline. hopefully, after this month, I will crave cakes less!
My goal is 6lbs for this month! I am declaring that I will play by the rules! I know you will not results without the work and I am ready to put in the work!!
Let's do this!!
Disclaimer - All images were taken from google. I do not own any of them
It is that time of year again when I will make some goals, commitments or resolution for the upcoming year and declare that this will be THE year! But honest self-reflection promptly reminds me that every year since I have been on this journey, each year has been THE year. Truth is some years I have succeeded and relapsed for whatever reasons or just plain failed. Last week, I got an article from Coach Calorie (which I highly recommend that you subscribe to as they have great articles) that had this picture in it and got me thinking�
So I have decided to start AGAIN in November. I mean which law says that resolutions have to begin in January anyways! Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear the whispers that Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts are upon us�but if I continue to fail at these events, then I have already failed before I have started. (side note � Thank God, Jamaica doesn�t have thanksgiving!)
Seriously though, I don�t want to be writing a blog like this in November 2013. I should have reached my goal weight by then�whatever that is on the scale�I am not sure but I want to be AND feel fit and healthy!
How will I get here? Well I have come up with my 2013 fitness bucket list�another idea I think I got from Coach Calorie too. Here goes (in no particular order):
1. I will master Tapout�s Plyo XT! I swear this is my nemesis workout
2. I will complete Jillian Michaels�s Body Revolution with RHEYNKLAW. We are scheduled to start in January 2013.
3. Complete 25 boy push-ups without modifying! Ugh�I hate push-ups�maybe 20?? No I need to challenge myself!
4. Maintain a 3 minute plank! Ha!
5. Learn to swim�I mean this will be good for my back�.but I am still iffy about this one!
6. Hike Blue Mountain, Jamaica! Crazy that I live here and so many visitors have hiked it and I don�t even know where it is!
7. Complete a 5k WALK!!! I will leave the running to my fitness besties Nats, Ben and Cheryl!
8. Enjoy yoga�hmmm
9. Complete a round of Bob Harper�s workouts. I should have enough of his workouts to make up a plan�.need to find a schedule�.I am sure few exists online.
10. I will cheat at cheat meals only. Need to curb those sweets�.does this belong here? Well it is fitness related�I think?
By the end of 2013:
1. I will have a six pack�ok I will be happy with 4!
2. I will wear a bikini!
3. I will lose 17lbs and keep it off!!!
4. I will have such a strong core that my back will in turn be strengthened!
I will track my progress through my blogs...sighs...big accountability promise but important one to keep!
I believe I can do it! 2013 will be THE year!
Today I started Week 3 of Tapout XT and I am still excited about my workouts. The workouts I have done so far are hardcore, yet not crazy like Insanity. I am still not able to make it through a workout without stopping at intervals but this a welcome challenge! I have lost some inches and 2 lbs after two weeks and my diet has not been the best.
It is hard to give a detailed review of each workout as there are so many different exercises in each...but even for the targeted area workouts, you still feel like you get a full body workout. For the first week and a half, I was super sore in every possible area!! Loved it! So far I have done:
Cross Core Combat - 46 mins
Strength & Upper Force - 55 mins
Ultimate Abs - 16 mins
Plyo XT - 52 mins
Yoga XT - 51 mins
Legs & Back - 41 mins
Sprawl & Brawl - 46 mins
Competition Core - 48 mins
Cardio XT - 46 mins
I have found it hard to select a favorite workout as they are all great. Mike Karpenko, the trainer is excellent! He gives great tips and stresses great form all the time. He is not annoying or over the top plus he is a cutie! He uses resistance bands and leg bands which I find easier to use than dumbbells as you can increase/decrease resistance with one band than switching up each time like you would have to do with weights. The water breaks are timely and well appreciated. At the end of each workout, Mike adds a "Killer Move" which is about 2 mins long...if you are not dying by the end of the workout, then the killer move will make sure you are!
"Cons" of the workouts include:
- The crew is really advanced; all of them have either done the 90 days of Tapout and are really fit or are professional fighters so it is hard to find someone to keep up with.
- This is definitely not a workout for beginners and I may add intermediate exercisers...there are hardly any modifiers.
- Some of the persons use bad form, I guess when they are getting tired so you have to be careful who you decide to follow.
BUT the workouts appear to be working! I am feeling stronger and my clothes are looser! It doesn't get better than this!!
Today I did Cross Core Combat! Picture says it all - earning it with sweat!!
This blog is way overdue! It is a hard (and long) one to write because I have to admit my weaknesses and admit that my doctors and friends were right and I was wrong.
No, I was not addicted to drugs or liquor...I was a workoutaholic!
I took this picture literally! Yes... my addiction was to working out everyday...sometimes twice a day....sometimes 7 days a week (no rest day). I am one of those persons who felt guilty missing a workout; one of those persons who worked out for at least 60 minutes a day....30 minutes? Ha! I laugh at that! Now, I know a lot of persons on SP may be wondering so what? A lot of persons record more than 3000 minutes a month. But I am not a typical person. I have a serious back problem...I have disc degenerative disease, two torn discs, bulging disc against thecal sac and several dessicated disc cartilages. Last year, I found out how serious my condition was and since then; I have been warned that I cannot continue to work out as I used to do in 2010. I had several 'relapses' where I writhed in pain and missed several days of work because the pain was so bad. I vowed each time, I would not work out so hard again or I would take it easy the next time.
In February 2012, I started to do Insanity. Obviously, I was insane! There is a clear warning that if you have back or knee issues, don't do the workouts. In addition, I knew my two orthopedic surgeons, my general practitioner, my physiotherapist, family and friends would balk at this idea yet I started anyways. My friends in my fitness group on FB warned me everyday - please be careful and I always responded "no pain, Insanity agrees with my back!"
In March, I added Body Revolution. I started to have muscle spasms...ignored that...felt a little warning pain...ignored that. On March 17, 2012, I woke up with some pain but did Bob Harper's Ultimate Cardio Body workout because I wanted to try out my new sneakers and HRM. I used my tens unit in the night and felt fine when I woke up on Sunday morning. When I arrived at church, I could barely come out of my car. The pain just came on; no warning! To cut a long story short, I ended up in the hospital...I could not walk for two days!! The pain was so excruciating! The injections did not work...the tablets did not work...ice and heat did not work! It was never this bad. I couldn't go to the bathroom on my own, I couldn't sit up to eat, I couldn't drive myself. Wow! What a wake up call. It was a humbling week. Several life lessons. Thanks to my doctors, DBF (who took such good care of me
), friends, physiotherapist and a new addition, my chiropractor, I am now on the mend. It didn't seem possible in March but now I am walking just fine and I am having painfree days! I have gotten the go-ahead to exercise this past week but this time, I WILL NOT be going back to my obsessive behavior!
So I have learnt that I need to more than ever:
I have also learnt that I don't need a 60 minute workout!
I have to:
I can't be so hard on myself! I have done well and this setback doesn't mean I am a failure! I won't just put on 40lbs because I can't workout or I can't do 6 days a week or can't workout like 60 minutes a day. It is hard lesson but I prefer to get addicted to taking care of myself the best way more than being addicted to exercise that unfortunately, can put an end to me not being able to move much less exercise.
In addition,
So lesson learnt but I won't give up! I will succeed just no crazy stuff!! Thanks to all my Spark friends that checked in and left a kind note or sparkgoodie! I appreciated it!
So we have been enjoying the new bubbly Jillian for the past month...still a tough trainer but a little fun, dance and jabs inserted in the workouts and we experience and appreciate a 'softer' Jillian. Of course, we have seen the intensity increase with each workout (which reminds me, I am yet to write the reviews on Workouts 3 & 4). After doing the first month, you do expect things to 'tun up' as we say in Jamaica which means intensify but seriously Jillian, so quick?? In Workout 5? So are are you planning to kill us in Workout # 9 if we make it there?? (side bar - Because I am doing both Insanity and Body Revolution, I am having nightmares about Shaun T and Jillian creating a program together *gulps*- a combined Jillian/Shaun T would be the end of me!! )
Anyways, here is my review! Workout # 5 is approximately 36 mins including warm up and cool down. There are 4 circuits that are repeated twice.
Jillian decides to start the workout with a yoga move that took her a WHOLE minute to demonstrate - she started with a sun salutation, exhale, fold down to the ground, raise half way with a flat back and exhale, then palms to the ground, jump back into a plank pose, move into a chaturanga pose, then into an up dog, then a down dog, bend the knees and jump back up to the top! Repeat 3 times. Seriously??? Who does that for a warm up? OMG! This was when I knew I was in for a challenging workout!
Circuit 1:
1. Push Ups with a side plank rotation (I actually did all the reps with military style/"boy pushups" Yay!)
2. With light weights, in a nice deep crescent pose, triceps pulses to the back (thank God, she said light weights)
3. Jumping Squats (can use weights to make it harder)
4. Repeat exercise 2 on opposite leg.
5. Cardio Interval - mountain climbers.
Can you imagine how your triceps are killing you now with all this focus and this circuit is repeated with the exception of the cardio interval.
Circuit 2:
1. With a heavy weight, wood choppers - I like this one because it works your core, quads, hips..it is like you are chopping a tree with an axe. I have done the move before but not with a rotation.
2. With light weights, drop and hold sumo and do arm presses
3. Repeat exercise 1 on opposite leg.
4. Scissor abs
5. Cardio Interval - High knees
Repeat the circuit with the exception of the cardio interval (By now, my heart rate is really up and I am really sweating!)
Circuit 3:
1. Using the cable, create a loop to put one foot through, step through with the other one into a deep crescent pose and arms to side; pull cable in and back to a "T position"
2. Crab exercise with one leg raised ( I really feel this one)
3. Repeat exercise 1 on opposite leg (now your arms are crying and the sweat literally drops off)
4. Repeat exercise 2 with opposite leg raised (your triceps officially hate you now)
5. Cardio Interval - Cable Punches (oh yes, Jillian is baaaacccck!!)
Your triceps are now officially in malice with you! But then Jillian says she wants you to be able to have sex with the lights on and you tell your triceps to suck it up!
Repeat the circuit with the exception on the Cardio interval.
Circuit 4:
1. With a medium size weight, do a single leg squat ending in a raise.
2. Line tricep press
3. Repeat exercise 1 on opposite leg.
4. Repeat exercise 2 on opposite side.
5. Cardio Interval - Speed rope (Jillian reminds you she didn't say jump rope..haha)
Repeat the circuit with the exception of the cardio bit.
Finally the cool down! OMG, Jillian!!
Tip of the night:
Oh, Jillian was on the cover of Health this month; check her out:

Small Business Owners Reinvent To Survive And Grow
In May 2008, Lauren Rottet bought back the architecture and design business she founded in 1990. She and her partner had sold the company to a larger engineering and construction firm in 1994 and continued working there. At the time, she believed it was a good strategic move. But years later, Rottet wanted more autonomy and bought the business back.
Her timing wasn't great. The slump in the construction market was under way. A month after the deal to buy back Rottet Studio closed, the firm's biggest client put all its projects on hold. Then the financial crisis hit.Clients who were still seeking her services scaled back. Instead of winning big, lucrative projects like redesigning a law firm's new office, she would get less expensive projects like renovations of a company's reception area. "Instead of managing eight big (projects), you were managing 25 little ones," she says. "A small project can be as much work as a big one." Rottet, who had offices in Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York, had to think differently about how she ran her business. Instead of having a team work on a project, one staffer would handle it. "We quickly started to cross-training to make people more adept at doing more things," Rottet says. So an employee whose specialty was interior design learned how to do architectural drawing. Architects learned about selecting furniture and fabrics. Rottet also took on new types of clients. Before the pullback in the construction business, 90 percent of the firm's work consisted of projects like corporate offices. Rottet's new clients included hotels and homeowners. That meant convincing new clients she could adapt to their needs. But she was able to make the transition â¿¿ she's even signed deals to design rooms for cruise lines. The result: Business has more than doubled since 2010, the worst year for the company's revenue.

I guess this is the classic "Half Glass" argument, We see it differently than those who are against guns in anyone's hands other than LEO and Military.
Read about it on CNN
But don't mention arming yourself in the event you are targeted, and he who is "bent on causing you physical harm" is following your plan of retreat. I guess it is good advice for those who don't want to protect themselves, and a good start to avoid something, but as they said, "a large part of the responsibility for safety in open venues rests with workers themselves"Police and security analysts said a large part of the responsibility for safety in open venues rests with workers themselves -- remaining aware and vigilant.
"We all go out in public at some point," said University of Washington Assistant Police Chief Ray Wittmier on Wednesday. "But it's really hard to always be on your guard if there's somebody who's bent on causing you physical harm."

Happy new year from your friends at NAILS.
Staying in touch is usually on everyone's priority list at this time of year; people send holiday greetings to each other, often including a letter about the year's events.
This month's cover story is like that. To give our readers a perspective on the events in the nail industry this past year, we got in touch with a number of sources. Their viewpoints combine in a year-end review depicting a prosperous 1987 and predicting encouraging possibilities for 1988.
Tying in with the cover story's survey are several articles emphasizing the importance of staying in touch with clients and the community ... through surveys.
An article by Peter Grimes outlines techniques for conducting market surveys, and is followed by a specific example — a survey by Mark Schaefer, designed to compare natural nail care salons with those offering acrylic services.
One notable conclusion of Mr. Schaefer's survey is that the most important salon attributes are those involving direct social interaction between customers and manicurists.
Meanwhile, Bill West wrote about effective communicating, reflecting the same principles, with suggestions on how to evaluate and improve interpersonal communication.
Staying in touch and communicating with your clientele should be a salon priority — just as staying in touch with the nail industry and our readers is a priority for NAILS Magazine, as we extend our warmest holiday greetings and best wishes for a prosperous New Year to all of you.

Top Ten DotA Scourge Heroes
Nord666Here is a list about Warcraft III: Defense of the Ancients Scourge Heroes. No Sentinel is listed, only Scourge! Don't agree with the list? Vote for an existing item you think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on or create your own version of this list.
The Top Ten
1Doom Bringer, Lucifer
Doombringer is dual capable hero. He has very good strength and strength gain and on the other hand he has a huge mana pool, specially at higher levels. So you can use him both as a warrior hero and as a mage hero...
But he sucks in case of base agility and agility gain (but that can be fixed by buying good items).

5Bloodseeker, Strygwyr
I were awesome he can regen HP and best killer ever.. I'm like his ultimate skill cause it become powerful when the other hero run away... And the effect from this skill is HP become lower and maybe die when HP under 500...
I like the bloodseekers 4th skill because when your build is good if the enemy will not run you can kill them easily
Sure kill because he have a rapture!

6Skeleton King, King Leoric
Can use Reincarnation and kill some dumbass hero
Just can't die and has a awesome dps

Deadly with the right combination of his spells
[Newest]Invoker the very best

Cool agility hero his attack speed is the best to track the enemy down fast
12Faceless Void, Darkterror
13Axe, Mogul Khan
Because he is just strong in the early of the game but in middle of the game he will still dying like a fly
Every hero in the last of the game can beat Axe IF he was plying well..
In the new verion axe is really noob and he can't fo anything...
Trust me be a top player and don't pick a noob hero (AXE)
You guys need to wake up! If your hero is below 300hp (level 1), Axe just gonna use his "CULLING BLADE" to kill your hero. He should be at rank 1 in this list. And what if his Culling BLADE is in level 3, which he kills your hero below 625hp, how are you going to kill him? Can you? I think you can't.
Axe must be in the first place!
Bloodstone to Axe = victory for the scourge

14Sand King, Crixalis
While not versatile SK works well for hero killing his epicenter alongside stun can easily take out heroes and turn the tides on a dominating lane.
He is easy to use! Just stun and sandstorm or stun and epi. One more thing. He is great with bkb just try this!
15Spiritbreaker, Barathrum
NOT ONLY STRENGTH BUT DAMAGE USE BURIZA + TREADS, MoM, ASSAULT CUIRASS, AGHANIMS SCEPTER AND, HoT NOT EVEN 5 HEROES CAN TAKE HIM ON!
Bara should be up, he can take off any hero in the map and he's the first call if your friend needs help, And develop agility to speed attack and stun more it never gives a chance to enemy hero to hit even. I took down 18 without die.
16Lycanthrope, Banehallow
Lycan should be at rank 1! When he turns to the legendary wolf, his speed are unstoppable! And he got critical strike! Just give him a cranium basher or abyssal blade and RAMPAGE.
Lycan is my hero From the Scourge... I really used him many times... When I was successfully late no one can beat me.. :D
17Queen of Pain, Akasha
Why isent she in the list? One of the top 3 mid heros who with shedow strik and blink is unescapeable and if shis 2 far just throw a sonv wave to finish.
