Erosion Control
Cover Crops
Erosion Control
Cover crops can help reduce soil erosion by protecting it from intensive rainstorms as well as providing a physical barrier to runoff. Cover crops may even help to build new topsoil by adding organic matter to the soil. A cover crop chosen for erosion control provides a quick and dense cover at the desired time of the year. During this time of the year, the otherwise bare soil is protected from erosion. After the cover crop is killed, surface residue mulch created by the dead cover crop provides protection against erosion. Erosion reduction after a cover crop is plowed under is small, although soil structure and infiltration rates are likely to be improved if a cover crop with a fine, extensive root system is used.

I need a script that can delete either file extensions or a wildcard? Basically due to R2 not being able to set a default printer we still use a vbs in the all users startup folder to set the default after login. Problem is these vbs files and the startup folder is populating the recent documents folder and I was hoping to add to the vbs default printer script at the end to delete *.vbs files and the startup link.
Is this possible? Can you delete file extensions in a VBScript?
Thanks guys, have done an extensive search but with no avail.

Band history[edit]
Starting in 1996, Spoken quickly became a mainstay in their local music scene due to a relentless work ethic and performance schedule. Shortly after forming, Spoken was signed to their first record deal with Metro 1 Music, on which they released three LPs and a greatest hits compilation. With the release of their first album, On Your Feet (1997), and continuing through their second record, …What Remains (1999), the Spoken sound was a combination of rap meets metal and a bit of melodic rock. The third full-length release, Echoes of the Spirit Still Dwell (2000) contained a heavier, more melodic approach to song writing, with songs like "Forevermore" and "This Path" generating repeated rotations on various modern rock radio and video programs across the country.
A Moment of Imperfect Clarity[edit]
Spoken signed to Tooth and Nail Records to release their next album, titled A Moment of Imperfect Clarity. This, and their subsequent albums on Tooth and Nail, highlighted an evolving sound in which first melody and then a post-hardcore sound were introduced and stressed. The band shot music videos for "Promise"[1] and "Falling Further"[2]
The Last Chance to Breathe[edit]
In 2005, Spoken released Last Chance to Breathe. The style changed even more, becoming more based on screams than heavy guitar work. A music video was shot for "Bitter Taste", a single from the album, featuring Cory Brandon Putman of Norma Jean.[3]
On September 25, 2007, Spoken released the album, Spoken. The sound was heavier and more mature, with both heavy vocals and heavy guitar work. Matt Baird, the lead vocalist for Spoken, said this about their sound: "Our new record has a lot of diversity. There are songs that are heavier than anything we've done before, and there is a song that is mostly piano. The songs are really all over the place as far as a similar style or genre, but it works. I think the record is extremely cohesive. I can't wait for people to hear it."[4]
Spoken has made multiple trips across the United States as well Japan, Germany and Sweden. Averaging over 100 shows a year, they regularly see attendance into the hundreds, filling venues to capacity throughout the U.S.[citation needed]
Echoes of the Spirit Still Dwell re-release[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (November 2012)
In late 2008, Spoken disappeared from the Tooth & Nail roster. Several months later the band announced that they had left the label. Spoken then announced the label Alien Patrol was to release a digital re-release of Echoes of the Spirit Still Dwell, an album that had an extremely limited release early in their career.
Spoken has been working on a new record since 2009 with producer Jasen Rauch. They have revealed that the record is finished and will be released on February 12, 2013 through E1 Music and will be called, "Illusion".[5] The band will support the album with a spring tour alongside Volbeat and Danko Jones.[citation needed] The first single, "Through It All", was released on December 18, 2012.[citation needed]

- Teach relapse prevention to the men and their family members;
- Curtail employment barriers through Biblical and secular instruction in employment and career training;
- Locate housing opportunities in safe, clean residential areas with timely access to public transportation and participating churches.
- Support families in being prepared for the release of a family member from incarceration.
End Mass Incarceration Now
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD MAY 24, 2014
For more than a decade, researchers across multiple disciplines have been issuing reports on the widespread societal and economic damage caused by America's now-40-year experiment in locking up vast numbers of its citizens. If there is any remaining disagreement about the destructiveness of this experiment, it mirrors the so-called debate over climate change.
In both cases, overwhelming evidence shows a crisis that threatens society as a whole. In both cases, those who study the problem have called for immediate correction.
Several recent reports provide some of the most comprehensive and compelling proof yet that the United States "has gone past the point where the numbers of people in prison can be justified by social benefits," and that mass incarceration itself is "a source of injustice."
That is the central conclusion of a two-year, 444-page study prepared by the research arm of the National Academy of Sciences at the request of the Justice Department and others. The report highlights many well-known statistics: Since the early 1970s, the nation's prison population has quadrupled to 2.2 million, making it the world's biggest. That is five to 10 times the incarceration rate in other democracies.
On closer inspection the numbers only get worse. More than half of state prisoners are serving time for nonviolent crimes, and one of every nine, or about 159,000 people, are serving life sentences — nearly a third of them without the possibility of parole.
While politicians were responding initially to higher crime rates in the late 1960s, this "historically unprecedented" growth is primarily the result of harsher sentencing that continued long after crime began to fall. These include lengthy mandatory minimums for nonviolent drug offenses that became popular in the 1980s, and "three strikes" laws that have put people away for life for stealing a pair of socks.
And even though the political climate has shifted in recent years, many politicians continue to fear appearing to be "soft on crime," even when there is no evidence that imprisoning more people has reduced crime by more than a small amount.
Meanwhile, much of the world watches in disbelief. A report by Human Rights Watch notes that while prison should generally be a last resort, in the United States "it has been treated as the medicine that cures all ills," and that "in its embrace of incarceration, the country seems to have forgotten just how severe a punishment it is."
The severity is evident in the devastation wrought on America's poorest and least educated, destroying neighborhoods and families. From 1980 to 2000, the number of children with fathers in prison rose from 350,000 to 2.1 million. Since race and poverty overlap so significantly, the weight of our criminal justice experiment continues to fall overwhelmingly on communities of color, and particularly on young black men.
After prison, people are sent back to the impoverished places they came from, but are blocked from re-entering society. Often they cannot vote, get jobs, or receive public benefits like subsidized housing — all of which would improve their odds of staying out of trouble. This web of collateral consequences has created what the National Academy of Sciences report calls "a highly distinct political and legal universe for a large segment of the U.S. population."
Many of the solutions to this crisis are clear, even if the political path to them often is not: Reduce sentence lengths substantially. Provide more opportunities for rehabilitation inside prison. Remove the barriers that keep people from rejoining society after they are released from prison. Use alternatives to imprisonment for nonviolent offenders, drug addicts and the mentally ill. Release elderly or ill prisoners, who are the least likely to re-offend. And since more than 95 percent of inmates are eventually released, rate prisons on their success in keeping former inmates from returning — which as many as two-thirds currently do. Some states have already taken smart and effective steps in these directions, but there is a long way to go.
The insanity of the situation is plain to people across the political spectrum, from Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who agree on the urgent need for change. The research is in, and it is uncontestable. The American experiment in mass incarceration has been a moral, legal, social, and economic disaster. It cannot end soon enough.

Which foods match with South-West French wines?
- t
- thefresser Feb 23, 2008 06:44 AM
I am hosting a tasting of 8 or so recent (2002-2005) wines from the Gaullic and Toulouse region of France. The 4 whites predominantly feature the mauzac grape, while the 4 reds primarily focus on cab franc/merlot blends (85%/15%) . I might add 1 or 2 reds that emphasize the duras or braucol grape.
To accompany these wines, I would like to offer 3 tapas-size food courses, with each course showing 2 t0 3 'foods'. All in all, this means 6-9 'foods' with the 8 wines.
What foods should I serve?
Many thanks!

Oct. 25 (Bloomberg) -- European regulators should postpone an intended increase in core Tier 1 capital requirements as any immediate change would tip Europe into recession, the chief economist at EFG Eurobank Ergasias SA said.
Bank regulators are reported to be considering an increase in core Tier 1 capital level, a measure of financial strength, to 9 percent from 7 percent by mid-2012, as part of a wider plan due to be announced on Oct. 23 to stamp out the sovereign-debt crisis which has driven Greece toward default, roiled global markets and dented confidence in the survival of the 17-nation euro area.
While banks need to shore up their capital base to "be able to withstand country defaults," the intended increase in the core Tier 1 capital rule is "a pro-cyclical regulatory policy as it would force banks to cut lending and would result in a recession in Europe," Gikas Hardouvelis, told a business forum in Belgrade late yesterday.
"Such restrictions should be imposed after the crisis is over, not during the crisis," said Hardouvelis. "This is what economic theory says." He added banking authorities are expected to "lower the bar for banks" rather than push it even higher at a time when European economies need "to switch to an agenda of growth" from the "current obsession with fiscal discipline."

You've got a typo in the headline. It should read:
Miley Cyrus X-Rated Live Brazzers Tour
That's actually Bill Clinton under there.
That's exactly what I was going to say.
It was bad when she stole twerking from black people, but at least it was something that was still relevant. Ripping her stage show from the 1996 Republican National Convention – that's just pathetic.
That purse does not work with those boots. Worst. State Outfit. Ever.
God, i am SICK TO FUC*IN' DEATH of seeing this picture when I load this site. It's disgusting! enough already!
Wow, you gotta give it up to Justin Beavers "TUCK GAME" those outfits leave nothing to the imagination. LOL
Please would you just take this damn picture down — it's been up forever and I'd like to come to this site and NOT see this "point of insertion" pose. GAWD! Gross.

Even in our jaded times it's possible to make a cautionary tale that retains its humanity despite a horrendous body count: Sam Raimi's forthcoming A Simple Plan does so, exquisitely. But Very Bad Things deserves a place in the vault of shame next to the collected works of Todd Solondz and Neil LaBute. It poses as an unblinkered look at the hang-ups and hypocrisies of the bourgeoisie. In reality it's an empty, narcissistic tantrum.
Very Bad Things.
Directed and written by Peter Berg. Starring Jon Favreau, Christian Slater, Cameron Diaz, Daniel Stern, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Jeremy Piven, and Leland Orser.

Neices Funeral
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 04-12-2010 - 8:47am
Saturday was a rough day and probably the worest I have ever had. As you know my baby neice was stillborn on 4-3. We laid her to rest this past Saturday. I feel like a large chunk of my heart was buried with her. It was a very emotional service. They had viewing at 9am and it was horrible. She did not look good at all. I wish I wouldn't have seen her like that. I then watched them close the clasket and that was hard. I sobbed through the whole service. It really got me at the end when they sang the song Tears in Heaven by Eric Clappton. Oh my god that song never left my head and when I hear it in my head all I do is cry. I do not understand why God has taken her from us and why she was never given a chance.
I have placed my IVF cycle on hold since I want to make sure that I am emotional and physically ready when I move into it. I am hoping to be ready for a July cycle.
I hope to get caught up this week with everything that is going on. Thanks for being the support I need.

Big ((Hugs)), I want to tell you again that I'm so sorry for the loss of your niece. I can only imagine how hard the service was. It's never understandable why a child is taken so soon. I wish you and your family much comfort during this very difficult time.
I understand your need to delay your IVF cycle and giving yourself time to heal and feel emotionally ready to start. Sending my thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
Me (30), DH (30)

Hugs Katrina,
I can only imagine how emotional and sad the funeral was for you and your family to go thru. Again I am so very sorry for your loss and hope and pray your family can heal from such a tragedy.

Boy, your story is bringing back memories. I can't even imagine having to listen to that song. I use to work in an office where someone played country music all the time. I probably cried 50% of the time and had to tell him to shut it off often. I don't know if it was your sisters baby or your brothers, but make sure you give alot of opportunity and initiate a conversation often for the mother to talk about her baby

- Great Start to Immigration Reform: Convicted felonious illegal immigrants will work picking crops while incarcerated to defray taxpayer expense, very much like the "Chain Gang of the South". Deportation will begin at the end of the sentence served!
- Send the LA County DA Fraud Division After Danny Bakewell, Sr. et al. Typically, Black leaders have been Serving Themselves and not the Black Community!
Indeed Eddie Glaude. Also, it is refreshing to know that President Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett, Colin Powell, Magic Johnson, and/or other prominent Blacks have not duped all US born Descendants of Slavery!

"Obama announces initiative for young black and Latino men, The program, called My Brother's Keeper, is a public-private partnership designed to help beneficiaries stay in school and find good jobs." by Christi Parsons, LA Times, February 27, 2014
WASHINGTON — After addressing the issue of race sparingly in his first term, President Obama on Thursday unveiled an initiative explicitly aimed at a group he says demands urgent attention — black and Latino young men.
Obama announced a program called My Brother's Keeper and ordered the federal government to focus resources on programs that had been proven to help minority young men stay out of trouble, succeed in school and land good jobs.
"So often, the issues facing boys and young men of color get caught up in long-running ideological arguments — about race and class and crime and poverty, the role of government, partisan politics," the president said in a packed White House East Room. "But the urgency of the situation requires us to move past some of those old arguments and focus on getting something done and focusing on what works. Doesn't mean the arguments are unimportant; it just means that they can't paralyze us."
The initiative was shaped in part by two meetings Obama had with a chapter of the Chicago-based group Becoming a Man, which left a deep impression on the president and the group's young African American men. The last time they saw the president, they presented him with a Father's Day card in the Oval Office, leaving him speechless.
Obama was introduced by Christian Champagne, an 18-year-old junior at Hyde Park Academy High School, who said he was coasting along with B's and C's when he listened to the president talk about his own struggles growing up without a father at home. Now Champagne said he earns A's and B's and plans to go to college.
"I felt the flame in me," he said in an interview. "I wanted to be more."
The effort will resemble others in Obama's second-term agenda, as it relies on existing resources, recruits private-sector participation and depends not at all on the approval of Congress. He's calling on prominent men of color — Colin Powell and Magic Johnson are already on board — to bring police, business and philanthropic leaders to the cause.
But the initiative is unique for Obama in that it targets beneficiaries specifically by race, a departure for the first African American president, who typically talks about disadvantages in economic terms rather than racial ones.
The announcement comes almost exactly two years after the shooting of Trayvon Martin, the black Florida teenager whose death provoked some of the president's most personal remarks on race and prodded him to think about a broad-based approach to the difficulties such men face. "If I had a son," Obama said then, "he'd look like Trayvon." Martin's parents were at Thursday's White House event.
Last year, Obama had his first meeting with the boys of the Becoming a Man mentoring program at Hyde Park Academy High School, about a mile from his South Side Chicago home, a fresh reminder of his own personal connection to the precarious fortunes of young black men in America.
"He was really struck by the fact that, if he had grown up in Chicago, he might have not had the same opportunities he had," said Valerie Jarrett, a senior advisor and close Obama family friend.
Around that time, Obama directed his staff to start looking at how to help African American boys in ways that didn't involve any grand new federal programs.
The result is a public-private partnership designed to better focus existing government funds and to leverage private investment. The official announcement, originally scheduled for two weeks ago, was delayed by a snowstorm.
Obama on Thursday signed a presidential memorandum setting up a task force to figure out which public and private efforts are working and how to expand upon them. The task force will recommend ways to create incentives for state and local governments and the private sector to invest in the most effective programs.
Several foundation leaders joined Obama to announce plans to invest at least $200 million over the next five years in education, parenting, criminal justice and job programs.
The president decided to address such problems in terms of race for practical reasons, advisors say. "He feels that we should have an honest conversation, and that, if we're willing to do that, it will lead to progress," Jarrett said.
Obama only occasionally spoke about racial issues in his first term. After his reelection in 2012, he began to display a new openness to discussing the subject, speaking overseas about the U.S. history of slavery and discussing his own experiences as a black man after the Trayvon Martin killing.
With Thursday's announcement, Obama addressed the subject in the form of policy. Black leaders welcomed the explicit talk, even if some were disappointed to see Obama admit he couldn't set things right on a grander scale.
"The presumption that a private-public partnership could actually address the depths of the social misery confronting this population is, at best, misguided," said Eddie Glaude, head of the Center for African American Studies at Princeton University. "That's not to say it's not needed. But it's the equivalent of a Band-Aid on a gunshot wound."
"We have babies who are starving, and families who can't keep roofs over their heads, and workers who can't find jobs, and our conception of government is so anemic that we can't muster the resources to respond," Glaude said.
Like so much of Obama's agenda, the plans for My Brother's Keeper are a function of necessity. Congress isn't approving much of anything Obama proposes, so he must work with available resources.
The impact may be narrow, aides acknowledge, but it's real.
The president has seen the results in his interaction with the Becoming a Man group from Hyde Park Academy High School.
"I think the president's getting as much out of this as they are," said Anthony Ramirez-Di Vittorio, a clinical social worker at the Youth Guidance nonprofit that runs the program, which he founded. "This is not a political moment. This is a moment of fatherliness."
A year ago, Obama sat down with a dozen young men for their weekly "check-in circle" at their campus. Last summer, he invited them to his own circle — the Oval Office.
"It has definitely given me motivation," said Kerron Turner, a 19-year-old senior. "Having the president there, talking to you … it makes you want to put on your A-game."

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5P X58 motherboard review -
3 - Southbridge | Multi GPU explained
ATI CrossFireX & NVIDIA SLI configurations
Now we already know that the X58 motherboards obviously can manage CrossfireX. But we already informed you that this mainboard is SLI certified, we need to cover the topic NVIDIA SLI support, let's dig right into that one right away a little deeper as this feature definitely made the biggest rumble over the past month whenever the name "X58" surfaced somewhere.
Mainboard manufacturers can submit their X58 board to NVIDIA and get them certified. Once certified the combo of a BIOS and NVIDIA GeForce Forceware driver will open up SLI support on the consumer side of the experience after recognizing a specific key handed out by NVIDIA to the motherboard manufacturer. That key will be located in the SBIOS.
This allows native SLI support with a few restrictions. The native SLI support actually doesn't sound too restricted, as motherboards with as few as two PCIe x16 slots and as many as four PCIe x16 slots will be able to support an array of SLI configurations, including a 3-Way SLI and even a fourth graphics card for a PhysX boost.
So be careful with this information. The danger here is that not all X58 mainboards are SLI capable. In fact the Intel reference mainboard at hand here today did not support SLI mode. Investigate carefully of you want to opt SLI if your X58 mainboard will support it, most of them will get certified though. We expect most mainboards vendors to get you at least a three PCI Express x16 slots solution to enable 2-way, 3-way and 4-way ATI CrossFireX or NVIDIA SLI configurations. ASUS, EVGA, MSI, Gigabyte, and DFI, have all licensed NVIDIA SLI technology for their new lineup of motherboards.
This mainboard tested today is SLI certified and though we spot 3 PCIe x16 slots, supports up-to 2-way SLI. We'll show you the reason for this in the photo-shoot.
Crossing the Southbridge
So we have the X58 chip "Northbridge" on that motherboard covering all the primary functions, but what about secondary lower level functions. Well, Intel will pair the motherboard with the ICH10 or the ICH10R "South bridge" similar to the Intel P45 (Eaglelake) chipsets.
ICH10(R) implements a 10Gb/s bidirectional DMI interface to the X58. ICH10 is basically a die-shrink of ICH9, boasting similar specs. It supports several interfaces to the somewhat slower peripherals on your motherboard like SATA and USB:
- Six PCIe version 2 ports, four of which can be configured as either 4x1 or 1x4
- Six SATA 3Gb/s ports in either legacy IDE or AHCI mode. These can support external eSATA
- One PCI slot
- Intel high definition audio
- Integrated gigabit LAN.
- Six USB 2.0 controllers 12 ports

@@USDA Rural Development administers and manages more than 40 housing, business, and community programs through a network of 60 employees located in eight offices across the state. One of our primary goals this year is to increase partnerships with rural communities and leverage community resources in underrepresented & unrepresented groups with a strong presence on reservation areas.
"USDA, through its Rural Development mission area, has a portfolio of programs designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers," said Elsie Meeks, Rural Development State Director. "We are working to build new partnerships to create jobs and improve the economic vitality of rural communities in South Dakota."
Most business programs are available to serve rural areas and cities with a population of less than 50,000. Types of programs offered include:
• Guaranteed Business & Industry Loans (B&I)
• Rural Economic Development Loans/Grants (REDLG)
• Rural Business Enterprise Grants (RBEG)
• Intermediary Re-lending Program (IRP)
• Renewable Energy Grants & Energy Efficiency Grants
• Rural Business Opportunity Grants (RBOG)
• Value-Added Producer Grants
Housing programs assist families and individuals. Types of programs offered include:
• Single Family Housing Direct Loans (502)
• Single Family Housing Guaranteed Loans (502 Guaranteed)
• Repair Loans and Grants (SFH 504)
• Rural Rental Housing Guaranteed (GRRH 538)
Community programs provide essential community infrastructure key to economic development, health, and safety. Programs include:
• Water and Waste Disposal Loans (WEP)
• Community Facilities Loans (CF)
Further information on rural programs is available at a local USDA Rural Development office or by visiting USDA Rural Development's web site at www.rurdev.usda.gov.
USDA has made a concerted effort to deliver results for the American people, even as USDA implements sequestration – the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act. USDA has already undertaken historic efforts since 2009 to save more than $700 million in taxpayer funds through targeted, common-sense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better position to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible.

With a spiritual vibe that fills the air, the island of Bali is a tropical paradise where you can choose to relax and unwind or live it up a little. Either way Bali holidays will have something to offer you.
Golden beaches and turquoise coloured waters surround the Indonesian island, you can lay around for hours soaking up the sun, or take refuge under one of the many palm trees that line the bays. Water sports are a favourite on the island, and you can participate in these at many of the main beach resorts; or you can indulge in a cocktail and watch.
Located on the fringe of Seminyak, one of the island's most vibrant leisure areas, a short distance away from Petitenget Beach. A pool, a spa for singles and couples, and spacious accommodation with the option of a duplex, family residence, and a private plunge pool all available, make the resort a modern yet quiet holiday base.
Bali Dynasty Resort is a premier beachside resort in South Kuta, renowned for its warm Balinese hospitality. The Resort offers six restaurants, four bars, three swimming pools, spa villa, exercise room, beach club, kids' club, meeting facilities and complimentary Hospitality lounge for those early arrivals and late departures. The unique layout allows for a subtle but effective division between the couples market and the family market.
After basking in your tranquil surroundings all day, the night time brings out a side to the island that's bursting with fun. By heading to Kuta or Seminyak, travellers will find bars, restaurants and discos filled with vibrant nightlife.
But don't forget to experience the divine culture that flows throughout Bali wherever you go; as art, from wood carvings to batik paintings, fill the various areas.
So if its paradise with a twist you want, then the delights of Bali are definitely for you.

SUNDAY, Jan. 26, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Professional baseball players are much more likely to be injured in tag plays at home plate than in other types of base-running plays, a new study shows.
Major League Baseball (MLB) owners recognize that this is a serious problem, and have proposed a rule change to reduce the risk of injury when catchers try to block runners who are heading for home plate. The proposal is awaiting approval by players and umpires.
In this study, researchers looked at data from the 2002 to 2011 MLB seasons, and found that tag plays at home plate resulted in injuries 4.3 times more often than other base-running plays.
Home plate collisions led to nearly three players per season suffering injuries that were severe enough for them to be put on the 15-day disabled list, the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center researchers said.
They also calculated that injuries from home plate collisions cost teams an average of about $2.3 million a season, according to the study published in the current issue of the International Journal of Sports Medicine.
"That's just the financial impact. More difficult to quantify but also worth considering are the players' health and the effect of their absences on their teams' performance," study author Dr. Daryl Rosenbaum, a sports medicine physician, said in a Wake Forest news release.
"I don't think fans go to baseball games to see collisions, and I don't think if you remove them it would change the inherent nature of the game," he added. "Why are collisions allowed in this one scenario when they're not really part of the game?"
A collegiate rule already prohibits catchers and other defensive players from blocking home plate and other bases, the news release noted.

Golden-mantled tree-kangaroo
|Golden-mantled tree-kangaroo[1]
|Conservation status
|Scientific classification
|D. pulcherrimus
|Binomial name
|Dendrolagus pulcherrimus
Flannery, 1993
|Golden-mantled tree-kangaroo range
(red — extant, black — extinct)
The golden-mantled tree-kangaroo (Dendrolagus pulcherrimus) is a species of tree-kangaroo native and endemic to montane forests of northern New Guinea. It has chestnut brown short coat with a pale belly, and yellowish neck, cheeks and feet. A double golden stripe runs down its back. The tail is long and has pale rings.
Its appearance is similar to the closely related Goodfellow's tree-kangaroo. It differs from the latter by having a pinkish or lighter color face, golden shoulders, white ears and smaller size. Some authorities consider the golden-mantled tree-kangaroo as a subspecies of Goodfellow's tree-kangaroo.
It was discovered in 1993 by Australian naturalist Professor Tim Flannery, who is now based at Macquarie University in Sydney.
In addition to the Torricelli Mountains, it also occurs in the nearby Foja Mountains in Papua, Indonesia. The latter population is often reported as being discovered on an expedition in December 2005, but it was known from this mountain range before that.[3]
The golden-mantled tree-kangaroo is considered as one of the most endangered of all tree-kangaroos. It is extirpated from most of its original range. It is not rated by IUCN, where included as a subspecies of Goodfellow's tree-kangaroo.

Bonus Watch '13: Jefferies CEOsBy Bess Levin
Jefferies Group awarded Chairman and Chief Executive Richard Handler $19 million in annual compensation for 2012, up 36% from a year ago, a sharp raise that pushed him ahead of some top executives at larger Wall Street rivals. In its annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the investment bank, which agreed to be bought by Leucadia National Corp., LUK +1.12% said Mr. Handler will receive a $13 million long-term equity-incentive award as well as a $5 million cash bonus and $1 million in base salary. The big pay increase means Mr. Handler will take home more than J.P. Morgan Chase JPM +1.03% & Co. Chairman and CEO James Dimon and Morgan Stanley Chairman and CEO James Gorman. Mr. Dimon had his compensation slashed sharply, to $11.5 million, amid the fallout over a trading debacle that cost the nation's largest bank more than $6 billion. Mr. Gorman is expected to receive less than the $10.5 million he was granted for 2011, according to a person familiar with his pay package.

Cool but you still work at Jefferies

The Caylee Anthony Case (2012)
Dr. G: Inside the Caylee Anthony Case - A Shocking Crime (2012)
The tragic story of 2 year old Caylee Anthony (the missing little Florida girl whose body would eventually be discovered near her family home a few months later) shocked, terrified and stunned a nation when the little girl's mother Casey would be arrested for, charged with and in a dramatic made-for-TV trial, be exonerated of the murder …
"The trial lasted six weeks, from May to July 2011. The prosecution sought the death penalty and alleged Casey murdered her daughter to free herself from parental responsibilities by administering chloroform and applying duct tape. The defense team, led by Jose Baez, countered that the child had drowned accidentally in the family's swimming pool on June 16, 2008, and that George Anthony disposed of the body. The defense contended that Casey lied about this and other issues because of a dysfunctional upbringing, which they said included sexual abuse by her father. The defense did not present evidence as to how Caylee died, nor evidence that Casey was sexually abused as a child, but challenged every piece of the prosecution's evidence, calling much of it "fantasy forensics". Casey did not testify. On July 5, 2011, the jury found Casey not guilty of first degree murder, aggravated child abuse, and aggravated manslaughter of a child, but guilty of four misdemeanor counts of providing false information to a law enforcement officer. With credit for time served, she was released on July 17, 2011. A Florida appeals court overturned two of the misdemeanor convictions on January 25, 2013. " – Wikipedia

"I'm annoyed by this racist BBC article."
Can we please drop the race issue? The BBC story, whatever one's views about its content, has nothing whatsoever to do with race. The UK and the USA both have members of all "races" (whatever that is)as citizens and residents. The UK is, obviously, a western European country and its largest ethnic groups are north European - Germanic, Celtic, etc. The USA's largest ethnic groups include English, German and Irish origin, all of whom originated in western Europe. So, the proportions may be different but both are multi-ethnic countries of great variety.
For the British to be racists regarding Americans would require them to be racists regarding themselves.
And "race" itself, obsession though it may be for many, is an obsolete concept, scientifically discredited and with no "taxonomic significance" (to quote Wikipedia). It is an outmoded concept with no scientific validity and should be avoided in reasoned discourse.
It certainly should not be thrown around as an all-purpose insult like the, equally regrettable and inaccurate "liberal", "fascist", "communist", etc.
