and causes the pt substantial and further injury.
when it gets to court, i just cannot see myself telling a judge et al, that i wasn't allowed to assess, and that is my reason for the delay in treatment.
nope...darned tootin' i'm going to look, and note my findings.
but as someone new op, i understand your hesitation.

2Dec 15, '10 by tainted1972If I truly wasn't allowed to remove a dressing and I suspected a dehiscence. I bet I would find that dressing not intact when I was assessing the patient.NooNieNursie and Leelee2 like this.
1Dec 21, '10 by al7139Hi all,
Here is my opinion:
If I have a fresh post-op patient, then the site needs to be assessed. Yes most surgeons prefer to do the dressing changes themselves, but unless it is a dressing that is wrapped around an extremity (such as a fracture or a TKR), it is possible to uncover the incision to assess it. There are rarely orders not to touch the dressing (with the POSSIBLE exception of a pressure dressing, and they are usually only for a short period of time). If a patient reports any unusual sensations, such as feeling it give way, or sudden pain, etc., then I will look under the dressing, and report to the surgeron my assessment and the patients concerns. Also remember it is possible for the surface sutures or staples to stay closed, while the inner layers can open up (not a good thing), so it is important to always report your findings to the surgeon.
Also if I have to continuously reinforce a dressing due to heavy bleeding, I call the surgeon because this is not normal either.
I also make sure I document everything from my assessment to my phone call to the doc, and their orders (or lack of), and I reassess and document that as well. I also will let my charge know what is going on. I would rather look at an incision, and have everything be OK than not look, and have there be a problem, because I was scared to get fussed at by a doc. And, most docs, will not get upset at you doing your job, and if they do, thats on them, just let it roll off your back.

Today we were having a little card game with the guys and the girls. If the girls lost they had to give the guys a lap dance. Long story short the girls lost and we started getting these guys some lap dances. The next thing you know the lap dances started turning into blowjobs then the blowjobs started turning into an orgy and before you knew it there was an all out party going on. This party was awesome, the girls bodies were great and they love to bang so there was non stop action with a host of positions for you to view. Enjoy!

SILVER SPRING, Md., Dec. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- American Career Institute's newest location in Silver Spring, Maryland announced they will now be offering a Dental Assistant Training program. The program currently offered at several other American Career Institute locations in the Massachusetts area is an exciting addition to Silver Spring.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101229/CG22665LOGO)
To keep in line with American Career Institute's career-focused philosophy to education, the program will emphasize a hands-on approach to training with a curriculum that covers both administrative and clinical disciplines. Students will be able to take advantage of Silver Spring's beautiful, brand-new dental facilities complete with two dental chairs and x-ray machine lab. Dental assistants are valuable team members in dental offices across the country and this program will provide students with the comprehensive skills necessary to effectively assist dentists and other members of a dental team.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov), employment of dental assistants is projected to increase 31 percent between 2010 and 2020, which is much faster than the total of all occupations at 14 percent. This above average growth rate was a major factor in the decision to bring the Dental Assistant Training program to American Career Institute's Silver Spring location.
"It is our goal to offer career training programs for our students that will continue to be in-demand in the years to come. With the huge employment growth expected in the field of dental assisting, it seemed like a perfect fit to bring the Dental Assistant Training program to our newest updated facilities here in Silver Spring," said American Career Institute's CEO Andree Fontaine.
The dental program will be in addition to Silver Spring's other technology and healthcare oriented programs which currently include Digital Gaming Design, Digital Multimedia Design, PC & Network Design, Oracle Administration & Enterprise Solutions Developer, Medical Assisting and Medical Coding & Billing.
For more information about the Dental Assistant Training program offered at the new Silver Spring location, call 866-975-4427 or visit the American Career Institute website at www.aci.edu/programs/dental-assisting.

By Pat Romanski The true value of the Internet of Things (IoT) lies not just in the data, but through the services that protect the data, perform the analysis and present findings in a usable way. With many IoT elements rooted in traditional IT components, Big Data and IoT isn't just a play for enterprise. In fact, the IoT presents SMBs with the prospect of launching entirely new activities and exploring innovative areas. CompTIA research identifies several areas where IoT is expected to have the greatest impact. Feb. 28, 2015 02:00 AM EST Reads: 2,978 |

Communicating With the Other Half: NTFS Support in Linux
NTFS support has been slow in coming to Linux. But new drivers are now available that enable you to read from, and even to write to, NTFS partitions, including removable media formatted with NTFS. We show you how.
Unfortunately, Microsoft has kept many of the internal details of NTFS secret, and the filesystem has changed with each new version of Windows. The secrecy makes it difficult for third parties, and particularly for open source developers, to write reliable NTFS drivers. In the case of a file system, an unreliable driver can translate into lost data, so NTFS support (particularly read/write NTFS support) has been slow in coming to Linux.
Fortunately, this picture is beginning to change, with several NTFS drivers now available for Linux. These drivers enable you to read from, and even to write to, NTFS partitions, including removable media formatted with NTFS. If you dual-boot between Linux and Windows, this will enable you to eliminate any FAT partition you might otherwise use for data exchange. Even if you don't let Windows near your hard disks, NTFS support will enable you to read removable disks that others have formatted with NTFS.

"Benedict XVI used the first papal state visit to Britain to launch a blistering attack on atheist extremism and aggressive secularism, and to rue the damage that the exclusion of God, religion and virtue from public life had done in the last century. The leader of the Roman Catholic church concluded a speech, made before the Queen and assembled dignitaries at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, with the argument that the Nazi desire to eradicate God had led to the Holocaust and a plea for 21st-century Britain to respect its Christian foundations. <Josh replies,> I'd like to think that if I had been in the Hitler Youth, had worn the Nazi uniform in combat, went on to head a church that - through the blood libel, pogroms, Crusades, Passion plays, and Inquisitions - has done more to sustain a culture of anti-Semitism in Europe than anything else, and if I held the same position in that Church as Pius XII, who abetted the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, not to mention the toxic nationalism that they exploited, and if Hitler had been an adherent of my religion, I might just shut the fuck up about who is to blame for Naziism, World War II, and the Holocaust. If it were me, I wouldn't launch an effort at trivializing the Holocaust during the Jewish Days of Awe, the holy time between the beginning of the year and the day of atonement. But I'm not a wizened procurer for pedophile priests who gets regularly mistaken for Emperor Palpatine, so what do I know. ********** Yikes!

"This was a perfect place to stay."
My family and I really loved the house. It has been beautifully transformed. There is a lot of space, light and comfort, and all the facilities that we required. We felt that it was even better than it had looked on the website. We had four small children with us, and they enjoyed playing with the toys provided, running in the safe garden, and talking to the horses. There was a huge feeling of peace, and the surrounding area was stunning. It was also very well placed to explore other parts of the Forest of Dean. This was especially useful as we could only stay for a long weekend. Another very useful facility was the provision of two dishwashers! With a large group, including toddlers, we cooked all our own meals, and it was a great relief not to have to spend time washing up.
We all want to come back again, and I am sure it would suit people of different ages and requirements.
The location was perfect for us as well, as we came from Swindon, Bristol and Oxford, but none of us had a long or difficult drive.
Thank you for your positive comments. We're very glad you enjoyed your stay and found Lodge Barn so comfortable and practical for your needs. Hideaways Reservations team.

Shale gas insiders and outsiders
- Anya Litvak
- Reporter- Pittsburgh Business Times
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
PHILADELPHIA -- As the Shale Gas Outrage protest buzzed outside of the Philadelphia Convention Center, inside XTO President Jack Williams told a lunchtime crowd that "public confidence is not as strong as it could be."
About a dozen police cars lined a side street with protesters. In her introduction to the event, Marcellus Shale Coalition leader Kathryn Klaber advised attendees to take off their conference badges when outside.
But there was as little animosity as there was interaction between insiders and outsiders this morning.
Doug Shields spent his 59th birthday (and his 58th last year) here amid protest signs prolifically punning on the fracking process.
Shields was there to give what he called the "coach's halftime speech" to the crowd.
"We don't have a shale gas problem in Pennsylvania, we have a democracy problem," Shields practiced, referring to Act 13, which preempts some municipal zoning authority.
He doesn't see the Supreme Court overturning a lower court's decision that invalidates that part of the law, but if it does, the matter will be taken to the ballot box, he promised.
'Right now, these guys have more rights than I do," Shields nodded toward the convention center.
The former Pittsburgh city councilman mocked the companies that allegedly told Mayor Luke Ravenstahl that they don't feel wanted in Pittsburgh because of the city's ban on shale extraction.
He also spoke out against some of the catch phrases heard at these conferences, such "we have to do it right."
About an hour later, inside the convention center, XTO's Williams told the lunchtime crowd that the industry has to boost public confidence.
"If we get it right, the payoff can be tremendous," he said.

Oklahoma City therapy dog goes on his final round
ter Boz's last trip outside, Mosca's son set the dog down on the floor while they waited for the elevator to arrive.
The dog turned his head and spotted a group of elderly patients. Even though he hadn't really walked in days, the dog stood up, walked across the hall and let all the patients pet him one last time. He walked back to the elevator and collapsed on the floor.
"Just a working dog to the end," Mosca said. "He was a sweet puppy dog and loved by many, many folks. … He was just a very special creature."
After returning to the vet, Boz deteriorated further. He couldn't move, and he wouldn't recover. Mosca had to make the heartbreaking decision to end the suffering. Since then, he's heard from colleagues and patients who are grateful for the difference Boz made in their lives.
"He brought a lot of joy to a lot of folks," Mosca said, "and that's the part that counts."

hutower Rating:3.0I had high hopes for the AngeloHome brand. Unfortunately, based on the items ordered from O, I cannot support any future purchase of the brand. This bed has great design. However, the quality of the upholstery was poor forcing me to change my plans to place it in my master bedroom. The bed will be moved to a guest room. I had far too much trouble with the delivery process and couldn't bear trying to return it. Maybe I will sell it on Craiglist.
As the host of HGTV's "24 Hour Design" and "Rate My Space," designer Angelo Surmelis said he strives to use color in a way that will affect the mood of a room. From a dusty blue velvet chair that evokes the sky in London to a bright floral chair inspired by summer, Surmelis has created pieces for his angelo:HOME furniture line that make colorful companions to your other furniture and home decor.

tressaj Rating:5.0When this queen size bed was delivered the headboard was damaged. I called Overstock and they sent a new one out very quickly. They were easy to deal with and I was happy with their customer service by phone and email. As for the bed itself.... it is beautiful, well made, and expensive looking. I looked at other stores and by far feel this was a great choice. Very happy with it. Thanks Overstock!!

Susan M. Rating:4.0I ordered 2 of these for a spare bedroom to be used by my grandchildren. They were easy enough to assemble and will serve the purpose of occasional use just fine. I'm not sure I would want this design for long term every day use.

Christine R. Rating:5.0This arrived around 6:30 at night and I had it out of the box, put together and bed made within about an hour, by myself. It was simple to put together, all the parts were available and lined up perfectly. You cannot beat the quality of this bed, I am thrilled with my purchase. Overstock.com is the best! Thank you for offering amazing & quality products at these prices. I'm a customer for life! :)

APP, environmentalists talk future of Indonesia's forests
(02/20/2014) In February 2013, one of the world's most notorious forestry companies announced it would no longer chop down rainforests and peatlands to produce pulp and paper. The move was met with considerable skepticism by critics who had seen the company break previous high profile commitments to end deforestation. Why would this time be any different?
Uprising against illegal mining in Indonesia pits villagers against miners, police
(02/19/2014) Hundreds of villagers and fishermen on Bangka Island in North Sulawesi attempted to stop a ship owned by PT Mikgro Metal Perdana (MMP) from offloading heavy machinery to be used in mining operations. The Indonesian Supreme Court ruled in November that the company's mining permits, issued by the local government, should be invalidated.
The making of Amazon Gold: once more unto the breach
(02/19/2014) When Sarah duPont first visited the Peruvian Amazon rainforest in the summer of 1999, it was a different place than it is today. Oceans of green, tranquil forest, met the eye at every turn. At dawn, her brain struggled to comprehend the onslaught of morning calls and duets of the nearly 600 species of birds resounding under the canopy. Today, the director of the new award-winning film, Amazon Gold, reports that "roads have been built and people have arrived. It has become a new wild west, a place without law. People driven by poverty and the desire for a better life have come, exploiting the sacred ground."
Animals of the Serengeti – book review
(02/19/2014) Animals of the Serengeti: And Ngorongoro Conservation Area by Adam Scott Kennedy and Vicki Kennedy is an easy-to-use guidebook that is also very readable. The region covered by the book is the Greater Serengeti area bounded in the west by Lake Victoria and the east by Lake Manyara in Tanzania, and in the north by southern Kenya.
Two kids, one year, from the Amazon to the Arctic: the environmental adventure of a lifetime
(02/19/2014) The Kraft family—Larry, Lauri, Jamie (age 8), and Jason (age 6)—are on the trip of a lifetime, a round-the-world tour with an environmental focus. Currently in India, the family has already made their way through the Amazon, Vietnam, Costa Rica, Australia, and the Galapagos, among other wild places. Still left on their itinerary: the Arctic. But the trip isn't all fun and games, instead the Kraft's are using the year abroad to learn first hand about global environmental issues and solutions.
Conservation groups launch new whistleblower site for wildlife and forest crimes
(02/18/2014) Welcome to Wildleaks: a new website that aims to give the global public a secure and anonymous platform to report wildlife trafficking and illegal deforestation. The illegal wildlife trade has become one of the world's largest criminal activities in recent years, decimating elephants, rhinos, tigers, primates, and thousands of lesser known species. Meanwhile, illegal logging is rampant in many parts of the world, imperiling biodiversity, undercutting locals, and robbing governments of revenue.
Scientists discover new gecko hanging-on in single forest fragment
(02/17/2014) Scientists have identified a new species of day gecko that is the largest in its genus (Cnemaspis) to be found in Sri Lanka. To date, it has been observed only within the Rammalakanda Reserve in southern Sri Lanka, an area spanning just 1,700 hectares, raising questions about the viability of this population and hence the species' long-term prospects.

(02/14/2014) The University of Maryland, Google, and other partners have made available a trove of forest cover data for download.
REDD+ should finance corridors between protected areas, argues study
(02/14/2014) The Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) program should finance protection of corridors linking existing protected areas in order to better safeguard biodiversity while simultaneously helping mitigate climate change, argues a study published last month in Nature Climate Change.
Local communities key to saving the Critically Endangered Mexican black howler monkey
(02/14/2014) For conservation initiatives around the world, community involvement is often crucial. An additional challenge is how to conserve species once their habitats have become fragmented. A primatologist in Mexico is bringing these together in a celebration of a Critically Endangered primate species: the Mexican black howler monkey. In 2013 Juan Carlos Serio-Silva was part of a team that not only helped to secure the establishment of a protected area for the Mexican black howler monkey, but also engaged local communities in a week of festivities, dubbed the First International Black Howler Monkey Week.
Next big idea in conservation? Recognizing we are our own obstacles
(02/14/2014) Cynthia Ong is not satisfied with the conservation status-quo. Her work aims to bring people together to form new conservation paradigms around the idea that land, animals and people are indelibly and inextricably linked. Ong is a facilitator, organizer, and manager with over 20 years experience in socio-environmental justice, entrepreneurship, and community activism. She has served as founder, board director and CEO of numerous for-profit and not-for-profit organizations in both Southeast Asia and in the U.S.
Scientists discover new whale species
(02/14/2014) Beaked whales are incredibly elusive and rare, little-known to scientists and the public alike—although some species are three times the size of an elephant. Extreme divers, beaked whales have been recorded plunging as deep as 1,800 meters (5,900 feet) for over an hour. Few of the over 20 species are well-known by researchers, but now scientists have discovered a new beaked whale to add to the already large, and cryptic, group: the pointed beaked whale (Mesoplodon hotaula).
Featured video: camera traps catch jaguars, anteaters, and a sloth eating clay in the Amazon rainforest
(02/13/2014) These are sights that have rarely been seen by human eyes: a stealthy jaguar, a bustling giant armadillo, and, most amazingly, a sloth slurping up clay from the ground. A new compilation of camera trap videos from Yasuni National Park in the Ecuadorean Amazon shows a staggering array of species, many cryptic and rare.
Wonderful Creatures: the bizarre-looking marine worm with an incredibly important ecological role
(02/13/2014) Almost everyone knows what an earthworm is, but these very familiar animals are just one variation on a very rich theme that is at its most fabulously varied in the oceans. The mind-boggling appearances and lifestyles of the marine segmented worms are perfectly exemplified by this week's animal.
Ivory trade's shocking toll: 65% of world's forest elephants killed in 12 years (warning: graphic image)
(02/12/2014) Forest elephants have suffered unprecedented butchery for their ivory tusks over the past decade, according to new numbers released by conservationists today in London. Sixty-five percent of the world's forest elephants have been slaughtered by poachers over the last dozen years, with poachers killing an astounding nine percent of the population annually. Lesser-known than their savannah cousins, a genetics study in 2010 found that forest elephants are in fact a distinct species, as far removed from savannah elephants as Asian elephants are from mammoths. These findings make the forest elephant crisis even more urgent.
One person killed, two injured in elephant attacks in Indonesia this year
(02/12/2014) It was near dawn on Jan. 4 when a critically endangered Sumatran elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus) destroyed a small shack near a plantation in Indonesia's Aceh province, killing a local farmer from West Aceh district and injuring his 13-year-old son. Yusmani, 59, was trampled to death while his son, Reverendi, escaped with a broken leg.
Obama announces new strategy to tackle wildlife trafficking, including toughening ivory ban
(02/12/2014) Yesterday, the Obama administration announced an ambitious new strategy to help tackle the global illegal wildlife trade, including a near-complete ban on commercial ivory. The new strategy will not only push over a dozen federal agencies to make fighting wildlife trafficking a new priority, but will also focus on reducing demand for wildlife parts and actively engaging the international community. The U.S. is the world's second largest destination for illegal wildlife trafficking after China.
Indonesia rejects, delays 1.3m ha of concessions due to moratorium
(02/12/2014) The Indonesian government has rejected nearly 932,000 hectares (2.3 million acres) of oil palm, timber, and logging concessions due to its moratorium on new permits across millions of hectares of peatlands and rainforests, reports Mongabay-Indonesia.
Despite falling palm oil price, premium for 'sustainable' product rises
(02/12/2014) Despite a sharp drop in the price of palm oil since 2011, premiums for certificates representing palm oil produced under the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) standard have risen due to increased demand for greener palm kernel oil (CPKO), reveals data released by GreenPalm.
Helping the Amazon's 'Jaguar People' protect their culture and traditional wisdom
(02/11/2014) Tribes in the Amazon are increasingly exposed to the outside world by choice or circumstance. The fallout of outside contact has rarely been anything less than catastrophic, resulting in untold extinction of hundreds of tribes over the centuries. For ones that survived the devastation of introduced disease and conquest, the process of acculturation transformed once proud cultures into fragmented remnants, their self-sufficiency and social cohesion stripped away, left to struggle in a new world marked by poverty and external dependence
Incredible encounter: whales devour European eels in the darkness of the ocean depths
(02/11/2014) The Critically Endangered European eel makes one of the most astounding migrations in the wild kingdom. After spending most of its life in Europe's freshwater rivers, the eel embarks on an undersea odyssey, traveling 6,000 kilometers (3,720 miles) to the Sargasso Sea where it will spawn and die. The long-journeying eels larva than make their way back to Europe over nearly a year. Yet by tracking adult European eels (Anguilla anguilla) with electronic data loggers, scientists have discovered that some eels never make it to their spawning ground, but instead are swallowed-up in the depths by leviathans.
Photos: mass turtle hatching produces over 200,000 babies
(02/11/2014) Biologists recently documented one of nature's least-known, big events. On the banks of the Purus River in the Brazilian Amazon, researchers witnessed the mass-hatching of an estimated 210,000 giant South American river turtles (Podocnemis expansa). The giant South American river turtle, or Arrau, is the world's largest side-necked turtle and can grow up to 80 centimeters long (nearly three feet).
Cambodia protects forest for giant ibis
(02/10/2014) Cambodia has set aside an area of forest just slightly smaller than Singapore to protect the country's national bird: the giant ibis (Thaumatibis gigantea). Listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List, the giant ibis is down to just a few hundred birds.
Study: 59% of Marine Protected Areas are ineffective
(02/10/2014) Protecting large, isolated areas of no-take zones for over 10 years with strong enforcement is the key to effective Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), according to a letter published this week in Nature. However, 59% of all MPAs meet less than three of the five criteria, making them protected in name only.
On edge of extinction, could drones and technology save the Little Dodo?
(02/10/2014) Almost nothing is known about the little dodo, a large, archaic, pigeon-like bird found only on the islands of Samoa. Worse still, this truly bizarre bird is on the verge of extinction, following the fate of its much more famous relative, the dodo bird. Recently, conservationists estimated that fewer than 200 survived on the island and maybe far fewer; frustratingly, sightings of the bird have been almost non-existent in recent years. But conservation efforts were buoyed this December when researchers stumbled on a juvenile little dodo hanging out in a tree. Not only was this an important sighting of a nearly-extinct species, but even more so it proved the species is still successfully breeding. In other words: there is still time to save the species from extinction so long as conservationists are able to raise the funds needed.
Reduced impact logging failing to cut emissions in Indonesia
(02/10/2014) Advocates for reduced impact logging in tropical forests often make a case that better forest management cuts carbon emissions relative to traditional forms of timber harvesting. While the argument for altering logging approaches to limit forest damage makes intuitive sense, a new study suggests that the carbon benefits may not bear out in practice.
365-988 million birds killed annually in U.S. window collisions
(02/10/2014) 365-988 million birds are killed in the U.S. each year in collisions with buildings, estimates a review published last month in the journal The Condor: Ornithological Applications.
Madagascar's new president pledges to fight illegal logging
(02/07/2014) Madagascar's newly elected president Hery Rajaonarimampianina pledged to 'lead the fight' against illegal rosewood logging in the impoverished island nation.
Next big idea in forest conservation? Incentivizing keeping primary forests intact
(02/07/2014) Much of Dr. Corey Bradshaw's work has a singular aim: to keep primary habitats and functioning ecosystems intact. According to Bradshaw, the existing system of carbon trading rules needs to be changed so that primary forests are given a higher value than other forms of land use. 'Nothing, can replace primary vegetation, both in terms of biodiversity value and other ecosystem services.'
35 pictures of the sharkfin trade that will shock and dismay you
(02/07/2014) Last month scientists released a study warning that one quarter of all sharks and rays are threatened with extinction. The research was the result of collaboration between 300 scientists from 64 countries. It concluded that overfishing is the biggest threat to the most number of species, noting that up to 73 million sharks are killed each year for their fins alone.
Proposed rail and road projects could devastate Nepal's tigers and rhinos
(02/06/2014) Chitwan National Park is a conservation success story. Since its establishment in 1973 the park's populations of both Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris) and one-horned rhinos (Rhinoceros unicornis) have quintupled, a success achieved during a time when both species have been under siege globally by poachers. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the park is also a vital economic resource for locals: last year the park admitted over 150,000 tourists who brought in nearly $2 million in entry fees alone. But all this is imperiled by government plans for a new railway that would cut the park in half and a slew of new roads, according to a group of international conservationists known as the Alliance of Leading Environmental Researchers and Thinkers (ALERT).
Drought, fire reducing ability of Amazon rainforest to store carbon
(02/06/2014) New research published in Nature adds further evidence to the argument that drought and fire are reducing the Amazon's ability to store carbon, raising concerns that Earth's largest rainforest could tip from a carbon sink to a carbon source.
Amazon rainforest does not 'green up' during the dry season
(02/06/2014) Analysis of satellite imagery has cleared up a controversy over whether the Amazon rainforest 'greens up' during the dry season.
REDD+ could fail without near-term financial support
(02/06/2014) An ambitious plan to save the world's tropical forests by valuing them for the carbon the store may fail to reduce deforestation unless governments and multilateral institutions significantly scale up financial commitments to the program, argues a new report published by the Global Canopy Programme, the Amazon Environmental Research Institute, Fauna & Flora International, and UNEP Finance Initiative.
Alaska roasting: new NASA map shows the Final Frontier in grip of January heatwave
(02/05/2014) Alaska got California weather at the end of January, as displayed by a new map based on data by NASA's Terra satellite's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). The U.S. state experiences one of its warmest winter periods on record during the second half of January, including some temperatures that ran 40 degrees Fahrenheit (22 degrees Celsius) above average. According to the EPA, temperatures in Alaska have risen an average of 3.4 degrees Fahrenheit (1.9 degrees Celsius) in just the last 50 years due to climate change.
Alpine bumblebees capable of flying over Mt. Everest
(02/05/2014) The genus Bombus consists of over 250 species of large, nectar-loving bumblebees. Their bright coloration serves as a warning to predators that they are unwelcome prey and their bodies are covered in a fine coat of hair - known as pile - which gives them their characteristically fuzzy look. Bumblebees display a remarkably capable flight performance despite being encumbered with oversized bodies supported by relatively diminutive wings.
Peatland plantations drive steep GHG emissions in Indonesia's Riau Province
(02/05/2014) Versatile is the best way to describe the reddish brown fruit born from oil palm trees. Both the flesh and seed of the fruit is used in many applications including cooking, cosmetics, and biofuel. In addition, the fruit is composed of 50 percent oil, making it a highly efficient product that requires less land than other oil producing crops.
20 million people face hunger in Africa's Sahel region
(02/04/2014) The UN and partner humanitarian groups today called on the international community to spend $2 billion to avoid a famine in Africa's Sahel region, which includes nine nations along the southern edge of the Sahara. Although the Sahel is chronically prone to food insecurity, the situation has dramatically worsened as the UN estimates 20 million people are at risk of hunger up from 11 million last year.
How hunters have become key to saving Bulgaria's capercaillie
(02/04/2014) Surprising clatter cuts through the silence in the snowy forest shortly before sunrise. The powerful clicking sounds like a dropping Ping-Pong ball before culminating in a loud pop resembling the opening of a champagne bottle. This sound is heard clearly and far. Propped on a thick pine tree branch, with a peacock-fanned tale, relaxed wings and head pointing skyward, a western capercaillie is singing. The song terminates with a low-frequency sound similar to scraping a fork to the bottom of a frying pan. It's exactly during those last few moments of singing that something unusual happens: the male bird goes temporarily deaf. Hence the species' common name in Bulgarian—deaf bird.
Gas company to drill in Manu National Park buffer zone, imperiling indigenous people
(02/04/2014) The Peruvian government has approved plans for gas company Pluspetrol to move deeper into a supposedly protected reserve for indigenous peoples and the buffer zone of the Manu National Park in the Amazon rainforest. The approval follows the government rescinding a highly critical report on the potential impacts of the operations by the Culture Ministry (MINCU), the resignation of the Culture Minister and other Ministry personnel, and repeated criticism from Peruvian and international civil society.
'Flying snakes' achieve surprising lift through unique body shape
(02/04/2014) Flying snakes achieve surprising amounts of lift through the shape of their bodies, report researchers from Virginia Tech in a paper recently published in the Journal of Experimental Biology. The study examined how paradise tree snakes—one of five species of so-called flying snake found in Southeast Asia—shape their bodies to achieve the lift that allows them to glide up to 30 meters between trees.
Total says it will not drill in any World Heritage Sites
(02/03/2014) One of the world's largest oil and gas companies, Total, has committed to leave the planet's UNESCO World Heritage Sites untouched, according to the United Nations. The UN says the French energy giant has sent written confirmation that it will not explore or extract fossil fuels from any of the world's over 200 natural World Heritage Sites.
Australia proposes removing old-growth forests from World Heritage Site
(02/03/2014) Last year, after decades of fighting, environmentalists and the forestry industry reached a landmark agreement that added 170,000 hectares of old-growth forest in Tasmania as a part of a World Heritage Site. But less than a year later and that so-called peace agreement is in danger of unraveling. The new Australian government, under Prime Minister Tony Abbott, is going ahead with removing 74,000 hectares (43 percent) from the World Heritage site.
Brazilian soy industry extends deforestation moratorium
(02/01/2014) Soy traders and producers in the Brazilian Amazon agreed to extend a moratorium on soybeans produced in recently deforested areas for another year, reports Greenpeace.
Endangered tiger killed in Sumatra
(02/01/2014) A young Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) was shot and killed by a coffee farmer in Jambi Province. With an estimated 400 individuals left in the wild, the species is Critically Endangered, while habitat loss increasingly forces them into populated areas to search for food.
L'Oreal pledges to wipe out forest destruction from its products by 2020
(01/31/2014) French cosmetics giant, L'Oreal, has pledged to stop using palm oil linked to deforestation for its products by 2020. Palm oil, which is found in both cosmetics and many food items, has been linked to widespread deforestation in places like Indonesia and Malaysia, decimating biodiversity and contributing to global warming. The crop, which is both high-yield and lucrative, is now becoming increasingly popular in Africa and Latin America as well.

Jeff Skinner is on a roll. The Carolina Hurricanes' 21-year-old forward recorded the hat trick – his second of the season – to propel his team to a 4-3 overtime victory over the Washington Capitals on Thursday.
Skinner is now up to 19 goals on the season. He has five goals in the last two games, and nine points in his last five games.
Born in Toronto, his recent hot streak comes less than a week before Hockey Canada will announce its roster for the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Could his play of late have any kind of influence on those entrusted with making the decisions for Canada's team?
