As South Sudan eyes independence, will it choose choose to protect its wildlife?
(02/11/2011) After the people of South Sudan have voted overwhelmingly for independence, the work of building a nation begins. Set to become the world's newest country on July 9th of this year, one of many tasks facing the nation's nascent leaders is the conservation of its stunning wildlife. In 2007, following two decades of brutal civil war, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) surveyed South Sudan. What they found surprised everyone: 1.3 million white-eared kob, tiang (or topi) antelope and Mongalla gazelle still roamed the plains, making up the world's second largest migration after the Serengeti. The civil war had not, as expected, largely diminished the Sudan's great wildernesses, which are also inhabited by buffalo, giraffe, lion, bongo, chimpanzee, and some 8,000 elephants. However, with new nationhood comes tough decisions and new pressures. Multi-national companies seeking to exploit the nation's vast natural resources are expected to arrive in South Sudan, tempting them with promises of development and economic growth, promises that have proven uneven at best across Africa.
Leaked government study: road will damage Serengeti wildlife, despite president's assurances
(02/10/2011) Tanzania's President, Jakaya Kikwete, today gave promises that his proposed road project, which will bisect the Serengeti plains, would not hurt one of the world's most famed parks and one of its last great land migrations. "The Serengeti is a jewel of our nation as well as for the international community. […] We will do nothing to hurt the Serengeti and we would like the international community to know this," Kikwete said in a statement reported by the AFP. However, a government environment impact study, leaked to the conservation organization Serengeti Watch, paints a very different picture of how the road will damage the Serengeti. The report includes warnings that the road will 'limit' the migration of the plains' 1.5 million wildebeest and 500,000 other herbivores including zebra.
Arctic fish catch vastly underreported (by hundreds of thousands of metric tons) for 5 decades
(02/07/2011) From 1950 to 2006 the United Nation Food and Agriculture Agency (FAO) estimated that 12,700 metric tons of fish were caught in the Arctic, giving the impression that the Arctic was a still-pristine ecosystem, remaining underexploited by the world's fisheries. However, a recent study by the University of British Colombia Fisheries Center and Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences throws cold water on this widespread belief. According to the study, published in Polar Biology, the total Arctic catch from 1950 to 2006 is likely to have been nearly a million metric tons, almost 75 times the FAO's official record.
The ocean crisis: hope in troubled waters, an interview with Carl Safina
(02/07/2011) Being compared—by more than one reviewer—to Henry Thoreau and Rachel Carson would make any nature writer's day. But add in effusive reviews that compare one to a jazz musician, Ernest Hemingway, and Charles Darwin, and you have a sense of the praise heaped on Carl Safina for his newest work, The View from Lazy Point: A Natural Year in an Unnatural World. Like Safina's other books, The View from Lazy Point focuses on the beauty, poetry, and crisis of the world's oceans and its hundreds-of-thousands of unique inhabitants. Taking the reader on a journey around the world—the Arctic, Antarctic, and the tropics—Safina always returns home to take in the view, and write about the wildlife of his home, i.e. Lazy Point, on Long Island. While Safina's newest book addresses the many ways in which the ocean is being degraded, depleted, and ultimately imperiled as a living ecosystem (such as overfishing and climate change) it also tweezes out stories of hope by focusing on how single animals survive, and in turn how nature survives in an increasingly human world. However, what makes Safina's work different than most nature writing is his ability to move seamlessly from contemporary practical problems to the age-old philosophical underpinnings that got us here. By doing so, he points a way forward.
Bushmeat trade pushing species to the edge in Tanzania
(02/06/2011) Hunters are decimating species in the Uzungwa Scarp Forest Reserve, a part of the Eastern Arc Mountains in Southern Tanzania, according to a new report compiled by international and Tanzanian conservationists. Incorporating three research projects, the report finds that bushmeat hunting in conjunction with forest degradation imperils the ecology of the protected area.
Paradise & Paradox: a semester in Ecuador
(02/02/2011) A semester abroad is an opportunity to live a sort of compacted life. In a few short months you seem to gain the experience of a much longer time and make enough memories to fill years. I recall a weeklong trip to the Alvord Desert with a field biology class from Portland Community College: the adventure of living out of a van, conducting research, and experiencing a place with classmates turned colleagues and professors turned friends who knew the desert like the backs of their hands. In that regard, it had a lot in common with my semester in Ecuador, but I can't think of anything that could have prepared me for a four month stay in a small South American country that I knew very little about.
Scientists: road through Serengeti would likely end wildebeest migration
(02/02/2011) A new study finds that a proposed road cutting through Serengeti National Park would likely have devastating consequences for one of the world's last great migrations. According to the study the road itself could lead to a 35% loss in the famed park's migrating wildebeest herd, essentially cutting the herd down by over half a million animals. Despite such concerns, and the availability of an alternative route that would bypass the Serengeti plains altogether, the Tanzanian government has stated it is going ahead with the controversial road.
From Cambodia to California: the world's top 10 most threatened forests
(02/02/2011) Growing populations, expanding agriculture, commodities such as palm oil and paper, logging, urban sprawl, mining, and other human impacts have pushed many of the world's great forests to the brink. Yet scientists, environmentalists, and even some policymakers increasingly warn that forests are worth more standing than felled. They argue that by safeguarding vulnerable biodiversity, sequestering carbon, controlling erosion, and providing fresh water, forests provide services to humanity, not to mention the unquantifiable importance of having wild places in an increasingly human-modified world. Still, the decline of the world's forests continues: the FAO estimating that around 10 million hectares of tropical forest are lost every year. Of course, some of these forests are more imperiled than others, and a new analysis by Conservation International (CI) has catalogued the world's 10 most threatened forests.
Woman turns home bird sanctuary into effort to save rare birds
(02/02/2011) Twelve percent of the world's species are considered threatened with extinction according to the IUCN Red List, the authority on such matters. While habitat destruction and alien invasive species bear the brunt of the responsibility, the commercial pet trade has contributed to the decline of some of the world's most beautiful species. But with several species on the brink of extinction in the wild, captive-breeding efforts have taken on new significance. Now a San Francisco Bay Area resident is working to take such efforts to a new level. Michele Raffin is at the forefront of the new wave of bird breeders who believe that unless some of these birds are bred for conservation purposes, they will die out both in the wild and in captivity.
World Bank offers to save Serengeti from bisecting road
(01/31/2011) The World Bank has offered to help fund an alternative route for a planned road project that would otherwise cut through Tanzania's world famous Serengeti National Park, according to the German-based NGO Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU). When announced last year, the road project raised protests from environmentalists, scientists, and Tanzanian tour companies, but the Tanzanian government refused to shift plans to an alternative southern route for the road, thereby bypassing the park.
Africa's vanishing wild: mammal populations cut in half
(01/27/2011) The big mammals for which Africa is so famous are vanishing in staggering numbers. According to a study published last year: Africa's large mammal populations have dropped by 59% in just 40 years. But what is even more alarming was that the study only looked at mammal populations residing in parks and wildlife areas, i.e. lands that are, at least on paper, under governmental protection. Surveying 78 protected areas for 69 species, the study included global favorites such as the African elephant, giraffes, zebra, wildebeest, and even Africa's feline king, the lion. "We weren't surprised that populations had dropped but we were surprised by how large the drops had been," lead author Ian Craigie told mongabay.com in an interview.
Egyptian jackal is actually ancient wolf
(01/26/2011) The Egyptian jackal, which may have been the inspiration for the Egyptian god Anubis, is actually not a jackal at all but a member of the wolf family. New genetic research in the open-access journal PLoS ONE finds that the Egyptian jackal is Africa's only member of the gray wolf family. The new wolf, dubbed by researchers as the African wolf, is most closely related to the Himalayan wolf.
Tiny bats trade in caves for pitcher plants in Borneo
(01/26/2011) A tiny species of bat in Borneo has chosen an unusual roost: a carnivorous pitcher plant, according to a recent study. The study examines how this behavior actually benefits both the bats and the plants, creating a symbiotic relationship.
Chinese citizen caught smuggling ivory from the Republic of Congo
(01/24/2011) A Chinese national was caught attempting to smuggle 22 pounds (10 kilos) of ivory out of the Republic of Congo on Saturday, according to the AFP. Officials confiscated five elephant tusks, 80 ivory chopsticks, 3 ivory carvings, and a number of smaller ivory-made items.
95% of Liberia's elephants killed by poachers
(01/24/2011) Since the 1980s, Liberia has lost 19,000 elephants to illegal poaching, according to Patrick Omondi of the Kenya Wildlife Service speaking in Monrovia, the capital of Liberia. The poaching of Liberia's elephants has cut the population by 95% leaving only 1,000 elephants remaining.
Asia's last lions lose conservation funds to tigers
(01/24/2011) The last lions of Asia and the final survivors of the Asiatic lion subspecies (Panthera leo persica) are losing their federal conservation funding to tiger programs, reports the Indian media agency Daily News & Analysis (DNA). While the Asiatic lion once roamed Central Asia, the Middle East, and even Eastern Europe, today the subspecies survives only in India's Gir Forest National Park in the north-western state of Gujarat.
Updating the top 100 weirdest and most imperiled mammals
(01/24/2011) A lot can change in three years. In January 2007, the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) jumpstarted a program unique in the conservation world: EDGE, which stands for Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered, selects the species it works with not based on popularity or fund-raising potential but on how endangered and evolutionary unique (in laymen's terms: weird) they are. When EDGE first arrived in 2007, it made news with its announcement of the world's top 100 most unique and endangered mammals. While this list included a number of well-known species—such as the blue whale and the Asian elephant—it also introduced the public to many little-recognized mammals that share our planet, such as the adorable long-eared jerboa, the ancient poisonous solenodon, and the ET-like aye-aye. However, after three years the EDGE program found that their top 100 mammals list already need updating.
Can entrepreneurial insights save the Masai Mara?
(01/23/2011) At the epicenter of East Africa's Great Migration, the Masai Mara of Southern Kenya hosts one of the world's great wildlife spectacles, as herds of over two million wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle congregate in search of fresh grazing brought by the annual rains. Yet, even here in one of the world's great wild places, modern man casts a long shadow, and the Mara Ecosystem is degenerating under the pressures of uncontrolled tourism, divisive local politics, and the burgeoning population growth of the local Maasai people. Working to reverse what seems to many conservationists a hopeless trend for the area, a champion of the Masai Mara has emerged in AJ Patel, founder of the Hasla Mara Wildlife Conservation Foundation. Building a career as a successful entrepreneur and civic leader in San Francisco Bay Area's Silicon Valley, AJ now focuses his considerable business experience and skills for the cause of global wildlife conservation
'New' cat in Sumatra: clouded leopard is distinct subspecies
(01/23/2011) Just six years ago the beautiful medium-sized Asian cat, the clouded leopard, was considered a single species. Then in 2006 researchers announced that there were, in fact, two unique species of clouded leopard: one species (Neofelis nebulosa) that inhabited mainland Asia (from Nepal to China and south to peninsular Malaysia) and a more threatened species living on the islands of Borneo and of Sumatra, dubbed the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi). Now, researchers have confirmed that clouded leopards living on Sumatra are distinct from those on Borneo, further subdividing these two populations into unique subspecies.
New hope for rare lemurs in Madagascar
(01/20/2011) A survey of a remote forest area in Madagascar turned up seven new groups of silky sifaka, a critically endangered lemur threatened by habitat destruction. The finding raises hope that the species—which is listed as one of the world's 25 most endangered primates—is surviving in Marojejy National Park despite an outbreak of illegal rosewood logging in 2009 and 2010.
UN and conservation organizations condemn big oil's plan to drill in Virunga National Park
(01/20/2011) WWF, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the UN have all recently expressed concerns about two oil companies' plan to explore for oil in Africa's oldest and famed Virunga National Park. Home to a quarter of the world's mountain gorillas, as well as chimpanzees, hippos, lions, forest elephants, and rare birds Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is one of Africa's most biodiverse parks and is classified by the UN as a World Heritage Site. But according to WWF plans by oil companies SOCO International and Dominion Petroleum could jeopardize not only the wildlife and ecosystems, but also local people.
World's weirdest aphrodisiac: elephant-digested durian fruit
(01/20/2011) The spiky, odorous, weighty, and almost impenetrable durian fruit is considered by some to be a fine delicacy, but others a putrid horror. Its taste has been described between a delicious custard and old gym socks. Still, even durian lovers may be uncomfortable with the idea of eating the fruit after it has been consumed and expelled by a wild Asian elephant. But according to the New Straits Times recently wealthy businessmen are willing to pay over $300 for a sample of elephant-ingested durian, which they believe acts as an aphrodisiac.
Last year worst yet for rhino killings in South Africa
(01/19/2011) Three hundred and thirty-three rhinos were killed in South Africa last year, the highest number yet. Ten of the rhino were black rhinos, which are listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List, the rest were white rhinos, listed as Near Threatened. In total South Africa has over 20,000 rhinos.
Africa gains new elephant species
(01/19/2011) DNA evidence has shown that the forest elephant-Africa's smaller, shyer pachyderm-is indeed a separate species from the much more well-known savanna elephant. While scientists have long debated the status of the forest elephant (should it be considered a separate population, a subspecies, or a unique species?) a new study in the open-access journal PLoS Biology finds that genetically the forest elephant is unarguably a new species. If conservation authorities accept the new study, it will change elephant conservation efforts throughout Africa.
Lion poisonings decimating vultures in Kenya
(01/19/2011) It's a common image of the African savanna: vultures flocking to a carcass on the great plains. However, a new study has found that vulture populations are plummeting in Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve, a part of the Serengeti plains, due to habitat loss as well as the illegal killing of lions. Increasingly farmers and livestock owners have targeted lions and other big predators by poisoning livestock carcasses with toxic pesticides, such as Furadan. Not only illegal, such poisonings take their toll on other Serengeti wildlife, including vultures that perish after feeding on the laced carcasses.
American cougars on the decline: 'We're running against the clock,' says big cat expert
(01/17/2011) It holds the Guinness World Record for having the most names of any animal on the planet, with 40 in English alone. It's also the widest-ranging native land animal in the Americas, yet is declining throughout much of its range. Mongabay talks with big cat expert Dr. Howard Quigley about the status and research implications of the elusive, enigmatic, and unique cougar.
Hyenas discovered in Armenia? Researchers find carcass, tracks
(01/14/2011) On October 1, 2010, the carcass of a striped hyena was found entangled in barbed wire surrounding an orchard in southern Armenia. The find represents the region's first confirmed hyena observation in over 60 years.
Pictures: 6 'lost' frog species discovered in Haiti
(01/12/2011) On the eve of the anniversary of last year's destructive earthquake, scientists have announced a bit of positive news out of Haiti: the rediscovery of six species of frogs.
Wildlife crime goes largely unpunished in Indonesia
(01/10/2011) Indonesia is famed for its wildlife diversity. Straddling the contact zone between Asia and Australia, evolution has created some of the earth's most remarkable species here. Think babirusa , Komodo dragon, orangutan and birds of paradise, and you get the picture. Indonesia is famed for its wildlife diversity. Straddling the contact zone between Asia and Australia, evolution has created some of the earth's most remarkable species here. Think babirusa, Komodo dragon, orangutan and birds of paradise, and you get the picture. Most of us also know that Indonesia has a major problem maintaining this diversity through effective conservation programs. Not a day goes by without Indonesia appearing somewhere in the world's media with a negative story on how it is managing its wildlife.
Malaysian customs seizes 1,800 trafficked reptiles
(01/04/2011) Malaysia ended 2010 with the confiscation of 4.3 metric tons of reptiles near the Thai border on December 20th, reports the Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network, TRAFFIC. The confiscation was the largest of the year and consisted of over 1,800 monitor lizards, snakes, freshwater turtles, and tortoises.
Lemur poaching continues in Madagascar [warning: graphic pictures]
(01/03/2011) A lemur poacher was intercepted with 32 dead lemurs on New Year's Eve in Madagascar's northeastern town of Vohemar, suggesting that killing of lemurs for the commercial bushmeat trade continues on the island nation, reports Fanamby, a Madagascar-based conservation group.
Lemur milestone: captive-born female successfully breeds with wild male
(01/01/2011) After 13 years of releasing captive-born lemurs into the wild, the Madagascar Fauna Group (MFG) has finally succeeded in breeding a captive-born black-and-white ruffed lemur female with a wild male, a pairing that last October produced twins in Betampona Natural Reserve. This is a milestone for lemur conservation, since it is the first time a captive-born lemur and a wild lemur have successfully mated and given birth.
Disappearance of arctic ice could create 'grolar bears', narlugas; trigger biodiversity loss
(12/22/2010) The melting of the Artic Ocean may result in a loss of marine mammal biodiversity, reports a new study published in the journal BNature and conducted jointly by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), the University of Alaska, and the University of Massachusetts. The study is the first to project what might happen if species pushed into new habitats because of ice loss hybridize with one another, resulting in such crossbreeds as "narlugas" and "grolar bears".
Biodiversity and slash-and-burn agriculture in Papua New Guinea
(12/20/2010) As pressures increase on the rich forests of Papua New Guinea, how will biodiversity fare? A new study in mongabay.com's Tropical Conservation Science attempts to answer this question by looking at how bird species are impacted by slash-and-burn agriculture. While locals have been practicing such agriculture for 5,000 years, rising populations and societal changes are expected to increase the pressure of slash-and-burn agriculture on forests and the species that live there.
The hair-snare: non-invasive animal research technique makes good in Mexico
(12/19/2010) It's not easy or cheap to catch an elusive wild cat, and trapping such an animal can prove harmful to the individual. With such factors in mind, researchers are consistently turning to non-invasive methods of gathering data about species, including collecting feces and the increasingly popular camera trap. But one method rarely gets mentioned: the humble hair-snare. A new study in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science has demonstrated the success of hair-snare in gathering data about mammals in Mexico, including the first successful hair catch of two rarely seen cat species, the jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) and the margay (Leopardus wiedii).
New hope for polar bears
(12/17/2010) Once thought of as a doomed species, new research published in the journal Nature and conducted by scientists from several institutions, including the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Geological Survey, finds that polar bears could be saved from extinction - if certain measures are taken.
Teaching orangutans to be wild – orangutan rehabilitation
(12/15/2010) Michelle Desilets, Executive Director of the Orangutan Land Trust, spoke with Laurel Neme on her 'The WildLife' radio show and podcast about the process of rehabilitating orphaned orangutans and teaching them to be wild. This is the second in a two-part interview. The first part covered orangutan biology, habits and the interconnected threats, from the pet trade to habitat loss and expansion of oil palm plantations, facing these creatures. This second part focuses on what happens to surviving orangutans.
Primatologists: the best hope for apes is the best hope for us
(12/15/2010) Distinguished conservation luminaries, eminent primate experts, ape-suited bucket wielders, a group of African drummers and nearly 1,500 people gathered in London last week for an evening of talks to shine the spotlight on the plight of apes and the forests in which they live, sending a strong message to the climate negotiators hammering out a REDD+ mechanism in Cancun. Hosted by conservation heavyweight Sir David Attenborough, Hope 4 Apes was something of a reunion of the first Hope 4 Apes event that took place ten years ago to raise awareness of -- and funding for -- ape conservation.
Picture: New lemur in Madagascar
(12/15/2010) Researchers have discovered a new species of lemur in Madagascar.
Deforestation sparks giant rodent invasions
(12/15/2010) Capybara are expanding into areas of deforestation throughout South America, reports a new study conducted by Kansas State University researchers and published in the journal of Global Change Biology. The study is the first to report capybara populations invading historically arid regions and finds that the presence of invasive capybara can hinder habitat restoration.
The secrets of animal TV: many nature shows rely on unethical tactics
(12/14/2010) Classic animal series like Shark Week hosted by the Discovery Channel and Wild America by Marty Stouffer have captivated audiences for years, bringing them closer than ever to nature from the comfort of their living room. Unfortunately what the audience doesn't know is that many of those wildlife films incorporate unethical behavior including animal harassment, staged scenes, and the use of trained animals. These claims come from Chris Palmer, a veteran wildlife filmmaker with over 300 hours of original programming for prime time television and the giant screen, director of the Center for Environmental Filmmaking at American University and author of Shooting in the Wild: An Insider's Account of Making Movies in the Animal Kingdom (Sierra Club Books, 2010). Palmer concedes that his films have used these unethical techniques and that significant proportion of the wildlife programming we find ourselves enthralled with is as fake and scripted as any Hollywood movie.
The problem-solving ape: what makes orangutans special and why they are threatened
(12/13/2010) Michelle Desilets, Executive Director of the Orangutan Land Trust, spoke with Laurel Neme on her "The WildLife" radio show and podcast about orangutans. In the first part of her interview, they discussed orangutan biology, habits and the interconnected threats, from the pet trade to habitat loss and expansion of oil palm plantations, facing these creatures. The second part covers the process of rehabilitating orangutans and teaching them to be wild.
Mountain gorilla population up by 100 individuals
(12/07/2010) Conservation appears to be working for the Critically Endangered mountain gorilla (Gorilla beringei beringei) in the Virunga massif region, as a new census shows an additional 100 individuals from the last census in 2003, an increase of over a quarter. The Virunga massif is a region in three nations—Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Uganda—and covering three protected area.
Saving the maleo, a geothermal nesting bird, in Sulawesi
(12/06/2010) More species are threatened with extinction in Indonesia than any other country on Earth. If we are to save them, it will take more protected areas, radical shifts in deforestation, and better anti-poaching efforts, but in many cases it will also take species-specific conservation efforts that work directly with local people. The Alliance for Tompotika Conservation (AlTo) is a model organization for this method, founder Marcy Summers describes it as 'very small, community-based, and efficient, with very low overhead.' By focusing on the wonderfully bizarre maleo, a ground-dwelling bird on the island of Sulawesi, the organization has succeeded in protecting a vital nesting area while initiating a moratorium on the egg-harvesting, which once devastated the species.
Saving Sulawesi's 'pig-deer', the babirusa
(12/06/2010) The babirusa of Sulawesi may be one of the world's oddest looking—and acting—mammals. Literally meaning 'pig-deer' the babirusa, which includes four species, belongs to its own genus 'Babyrousa' in the pig family. Males are especially unique, sporting four tusks, two of which appear to come right out of the animal's snout. To make it to the top of the babirusa hierarchy, males will combat each other in an activity dubbed 'boxing' where they will rear up on their hind legs and club at each other. Despite their many oddities, the babriusa were not formally studied until the late 1980s when Dr. Lynn Clayton spent four years in Sulawesi's forest observing them.
World has run out of fishing grounds
(12/06/2010) The world's oceans can no longer accommodate fisheries expansion, confirms a study conducted by joint effort between the University of British Columbia and the National Geographic Society. The study is the first of its kind to analyze the geographic expansion of global fisheries. Published in the journal PLoS ONE, the study lends additional credence to reports that current fishing practices are unsustainable. Researchers holistically determined the ecological footprint of commercial fisheries by looking at primary production—the tiny organisms that make up the bottom of the food chain—and calculating the amount necessary to support current fishing yields around the world from 1950 to 2005. The study finds that the amount of primary production required to maintain commercial fishing at current levels far exceeds that which exists.
Thousands pledge to boycott restaurants serving bluefin tuna
(12/01/2010) So far over 14,000 people have pledged to boycott eating bluefin tuna or visiting any restaurant that serves the imperiled species. The boycott, begun by US-conservation organization Center for Biological Diversity (CBD), is striving to raise awareness about a species that many scientists say is being fished to the brink of extinction.
'Environmental and social aggression': oil exploration threatens award-winning marine protected area
(12/01/2010) The Seaflower Marine Protected Area (MPA), which recently won top honors at the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Japan, is now under threat by planned oil exploration in the region, according to the Providence Foundation which is devoted to protecting the area. Proposed blocs for exploration by the Colombian government lie in the North Cays adjacent to the park, and perhaps even inside MPA boundaries. Spreading over 65,000 square kilometers (6.5 million hectares), Seaflower MPA lies within the Colombian Caribbean department known as the Archipelago of San Andres, Old Providence and Santa Catalina. This richly diverse Archipelago is home to a known 57 coral species, over 400 fish, and some 150 birds, as well as the ethnic and cultural minority: the Raizal people. The prospect of massive infrastructure or, even worse, oil spills in the area could devastate the park and locals' livelihoods.
Study: REDD could save species from extinction, if well-funded
(12/01/2010) The burgeoning global program REDD+ (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) could do more than mitigate climate change, according to a new study in Conservation Letters by scientists with Conservation International (CI). Analyzing a sample of 2,500 forest animals, including mammals, birds and amphibians, researchers found that REDD+ could reduce the rate of extinction among these species by 46-82% over five years. The wide range in the study's findings depends on the amount of funds devoted to REDD+: more funds means greater forest preservation and, thereby, less extinction.
Logging concession could extinguish endangered Sumatran elephant population
(11/30/2010) Local conservationists are urging the Indonesian government to halt the destruction of a 42,000 hectare forest in the renowned Bukit Tigapuluh Forest Landscape for a pulpwood plantation. According to researchers, the forest concession—owned by PT Lestari Asri Jaya, a subsidiary of Barito Pacific Group—contains the last population of Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus) in the Bukit Tigapuluh and approximately 5% of the island's total population. In a letter being sent to the Ministry of Forests, conservationists write that the destruction of the forest "would immediately lead to local extinction of elephants in Bukit Tigapuluh". They argue that given its ecological importance, the PT Lestari Asri Jaya forest concession should be placed under permanent protection.

Mouse In My House... um, Apartment
Hey all,
My wife and I live in Center City, Philadelphia and for the most part, we've been winning the war on mice (using sonic traps and snap traps). We haven't actually seen a mouse in almost a year but last night one of them buggers got into our wall (our ceililng is also the roof of the apartment building). So I've got a few questions:
1) How the heck do I get it out?
2) Will the old "moth balls on the roof" trick work?
3) Can the mouse actually get itself out or is it stuck (10' wall)?
4) How long will the mouse live (assuming it has no connection to food or water)?
Please help as I would very much like to actually sleep tonight. I've handled mice before (both alive and dead) so I far from fearful. It's more of a major pain in the butt then anything else.
i was joking.
seriously though, the mouse got in some how or another and likely will be able to get out on it's own. the problem is he may not WANT to get out adn stay out. find where it got in and stuff some steel wool in the hole. he will die from starvation in a few days. as long as you have a few more weeks of cool weather, you shoul dnever even smell him.

: Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh on Tuesday launched two restoration projects to beautify Shimla.
"The government is committed to preserve old heritage buildings in the state and every effort would be made to maintain the glory of such buildings," Mr. Singh said at the projects' launching function.
The Chief Minister said the conservation and restoration of the Town Hall, built in 1908 with stone and timber, would be done aesthetically, keeping in mind its original Gothic style architecture. The Town Hall houses the Shimla Municipal Corporation.
The Town Hall — one of the 91 British-era buildings and the Mall Road are to get a facelift with an investment of Rs.30 crore. Of the total, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will provide half the amount as a loan.
Mr. Singh said all heritage buildings in the town would have inscription plates that will relate the history of that building.
He said the town would give a different and magnificent look during the night after illumination of the Gaiety Theatre, the Town Hall, the Scandal Point and the Christ Church.
As for Mall Road, it is set for a facelift with the asphalt road surface being replaced with European-style cobblestone patterns, besides creating leisure plazas, official sources said.
The "Queen of Hills", Shimla, as the town was then called, was the summer capital of the British colonial rulers.
More than 60 years after the British left, this town still attracts their descendants who are eager to explore their roots.
Sadly, the imperial grandeur of the buildings that were once institutions of power has slowly been fading.
Some of the monuments and buildings have been damaged by age or have been refurbished, while others have simply vanished. - IANS

There is this industry, called "Climate Change". It has commodified and quantified the infinite human capacity for worry. I am going to refer to this worry as "change".
The change will happen regardless. The increased ability to measure and discuss change is itself irrelevant to the fact of the change.
Why does anyone think governments should do something about change? Government is for human systems. Roads. Borders. Laws. Taxes. Schools, in some cases. Governments are the last human organization I want looking at change. Change is inevitable and unstoppable. I don't think anything is more guaranteed to happen than change, except the sale of worry over it.
This is the true story of what is happening. Yes, things are different. Yes, it can be measured better than ever. Yes it can be discussed more thoroughly than ever. It does not mean that it should be characterized in any way, for the benefit or to the detriment of anyone. And that is all that happens. The sale of worry.
Ignore the commodification of worry. There will never be a time when people do not think they have reached some limit. Never. It is a human trait to extrapolate, based on available technology. The fears and worries of this age will seem simple in 50 years, compared to what science will then be able to measure and discuss. Same as it has ever been.

Just found this. Blanche, at the Masonic Temple, 1999, with me on bass.
While I've got a VHS tape of this somewhere, embedding this fits in with my lack of VHS to digital encoder situation. The tape, however, has the funny interview that this is missing. Really happy with my bass sound here!
In the right background, in the jpg capture frame you see, under Daphne's arm, is my 1972 Fender Stratocaster. On the left is Peter Hudson with his Gibson Firebird. I'm way over on the right. You can't miss me, I start the song.
No comment on the death of Roderick Robbie, but I will once again take the opportunity to point out that the dome cost over 600 million dollars, all of it from canadian taxpayers. All of it.
It was sold to Rogers Corporation for 25 million. All of it. That's about what they bring in daily from Canadian subscribers, or what they spend in a month on lawyers and media buys, to ensure they can keep their monopoly.
It is easily the most overbuilt structure imaginable. With the roof closed it will make a great bomb shelter, and it should be a part of emergency planning, but it's comically terrible as a venue. Even the Seattle Kingdome (long since demolished) at least had volume from the crowd, and decent proximity to the field of play.
Skydome was nothing but a corporate tax write-off party until the Jays finished their run; the illusion that you are doing something right while you blow someone else's money is easy to create when the stadium is full and the team is winning.
The reality was that once the cash ran out, the corps headed for the exits, and the actual building has about as much relevance to humans as a boulder does to an ant.
No one in the Toronto media is going to point out that these Bills games are a complete dog of an event, because they are afraid Rogers will yank its ad spend. Fortunately, I don't care about this :)
It's just great that rogers has 78 million dollars to overpay on these turkeys. That is three times what they paid for the skydome. At least the Bills series wasn't originally taxpayer funded construction.
So the story they planted in the media this week is that ticket prices are too high? Nice. Come on. You could not pay most people to go down to the dome to watch that league. It's not a Toronto team, it's got "Rogers" written all over it as a forced "event", and the whole thing is as phony as the people in Rogers' advertising. At least the cbc is running an AP wire story on this nonsense instead of regurgitating Rogers' press releases. Listening to the Sportsnet590 announcers toss softballs at Joe Theisman on the subject would have been preferable; that was very bad radio.
If they want to throw 78M at Jays players, I might consider following that team again. They've lost me as long as they keep all the games on the pay sports channels. If they want to throw 78M at an American billionaire because they think they'll recoup the money in advertising rights and gate revenue, well it's our stupidity that keeps them rolling in the money.

College football outlook: BYU's up-tempo transformation beginning to yield results
BYU had an up-tempo mentality before it had an up-tempo offense.
"It's always been the will before the skill for me," BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall said Monday. "Our entire program is about how hard you try.
"All we're doing is asking the offense to do is what the defense and special teams had already been doing."
And it's working great. An offense that struggled against good competition last year, is not just running more plays, but gaining more yards and scoring more points per play.
After BYU's offense tanked last season, Mendenhall decided upping the pace on offense could help the Cougars go from consistent winners — they haven't had a losing season in nine years under Mendenhall and have won double-digits five times — to a program that could finish in the top 10 and compete for a national title.
"It's to push the envelope of what is possible here and what we can accomplish," he said.
Mendenhall revamped his entire offensive staff after 2012. The key piece was bringing back former Cougars offensive coordinator Robert Anae, who had been working as offensive line coach at Arizona (2011-12).
Anae was retained at Arizona when Rich Rodriguez took over and for one season got a crash course in fast football.
"A year with Rich Rod was like a gift," Anae said.
Anae said Mendenhall's program already had the foundation in place to make a quick and successful transition to the up-tempo offense — from the emphasis on effort and conditioning to the tone set by a defense that played a furious and attacking style.
"To have the offense go at a fast pace kind of fit the team culture that was already here," he said. "To do something like that you need a team-wide commitment."
The Cougars have embraced the new approach. No team in college football has run more plays per game than BYU at a shade under 90, up from 77 per game last year. The Cougars have gone from 400 yards per game and 5.19 yards per play to 511.3 and 5.70. That second number puts the Cougars at 65th in the country, so there is still plenty of room for improvement and big plays.
First-year starting quarterback Taysom Hill, a dual-threat still developing as a passer, is sixth in the nation in total offense at 357 yards per game.
Meanwhile, that nasty defense Mendenhall has made BYU's calling card in recent years — he was a former defensive coordinator — still ranks 20th in the nation in yards per play at 4.87.
The Cougars have won five straight, including Friday's impressive 37-20 victory against Boise State, and have this week off before playing at No. 22 Wisconsin on Nov. 9.
It will be the biggest test yet for the Cougars' new offensive style, though Mendenhall is quick to point out that up-tempo has done more than just increase BYU's offensive production.
"One of things I love about coaching is to see the human will tested. To see players being fatigued and still willing to go on," he said. "I love what it does to our practices and what it does to our individual growth and maturity."
Don't call him Curtis or Coach Johnson. Tulane coach Curtis Johnson prefers C.J. And considering how well the Green Wave have been playing in their second season under the New Orleans native and former Saints assistant, his is a name worth knowing.
Tulane (6-2, 4-0) is bowl-eligible, in first place in Conference USA's West Division, and on the way to snapping a string of 10 straight losing seasons. The program was nearly washed away by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and had shown few signs of hope since.

The Process
Each of you is in a continual process of unfoldment and the birth chart can put you in touch with the higher plan for your life or the bigger picture, as seen and co-created by the higher part of our being. To work creatively and positively with this wiser part of your being, you have to believe that all your lessons are being meted out by your own soul (which is intimately connected to your inner divinity).
This helps you to grow and evolve into the beautiful being you already are, deep within and know ourselves as divinity incarnated. Therefore, expanding your consciousness is one of the main purposes of astrology. It is not about fortune telling or being psychic. It is about listening and observing your inner world and all the outer events occurring in your life. You can then relate this to the birth chart and the symbolic language and story it depicts of your unfolding life.
Astrology and the symbols correctly interpreted can be a positive and is a useful guide to your higher path and enables you to see your life from a much higher perspective, than you may normally view it.

I'm making a 1 Gal batch of Spiced Winter Cider from Organic Apple Juice. I know I should use the following;
Orange peel/Orange juice?
Nutmeg (maybe?)
Does it matter if I use Ground versions of the above spices, and how much should I add to the batch of each? Anyone with any experience here?
I have not experienced myself but I have read both here and other places that the Oranges citrus can kill the yeast. But your ingredients sound good.
Ground/powdered spices tend to make a mess. Whole/cracked spices are easier to work with & can easily be removed when the desired flavour level has been reached. Just use a hop bag & put your whole/cracked spices in it with a couple sanitized marbles to hold it down. You can tie a length of fishing line onto it & just let it hang over the lip of the carbouy & replace your stopper; the stopper will hold it in place. And the orange zest will work just fine. Regards, GF.
I've managed to find some ready-cracked spices in a mulling kit in my cupboard! So it's ready tied, i'll just add a little orange and hang it over the side like you say. that's a great idea...would you recommend just tasting to see when the desired level's there?
Sounds lovely! Do mollasses ferment? They're very cheap here on account of our carribbean community
Don't use cloves.

My foster Mom has adopted me!!
Hi. My name is Adara. I am a beautiful golden and white,spayed, girl bunny with a happy, outgoing personality. I have lost most of the vision in both of my eyes for unknown reasons. I look and act very healthy in every other way.
I was left at the shelter this way and the vet says there isn't much we can do. Sometimes e.cunniculi can damage the eyes but I don't have any other symptoms, so who knows.
The bottom line is that I am a very pretty sweet girl who would love to find my forever home.
Because of my eyes, I would do best with a more experienced bunny lover who understands the need to keep my home and belongings simple and consist ant.
I enjoy being petted and am okay being held, but I can get startled easily when you reach for me, so please talk with me first and let me know what you are doing.
I'm really a lovely girl with so much love to share. I really hope you will come meet me soon!

The Tao of Wu
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A unique book of wisdom and experience that reaches from the most violent slums of New York City to the highest planes of spiritual thought by the RZA, founder of the Wu-Tang Clan and hip-hop's most exalted wise man.
The RZA, the Abbot of the Wu-Tang Clan and hip-hop culture's most dynamic genius, imparts the lessons he's learned on the journey that's taken him from the Staten Island projects to international superstar, all along the way a devout student of knowledge in every form he's found it-on the streets, in religion, in martial arts, in chess, in popular culture. Part chronicle of an extraordinary life and part spiritual and philosophical discourse, The Tao of Wu is a nonfiction Siddhartha for the hip-hop generation-an engaging, seeking book that will enlighten, entertain, and inspire.
The legions of Wu-Tang fans are accustomed to this heady mix-their obsession with the band's puzzlelike lyrics and elaborate mythology has propelled the group through fifteen years of dazzling, multiplatform success. In his 2005 bestseller The Wu-Tang Manual, the RZA provided the barest glimpse of how that mythology worked. In The Tao of Wu, he takes us deep inside the complex sense of wisdom and spirituality that has been at the core of his commercial and creative success.
The book is built around major moments in the RZA's life when he was faced with a dramatic turning point, either bad (a potential prison sentence) or good (a record deal that could pull his family out of poverty), and the lessons he took from each experience. His points of view are always surprising and provocative, and reveal a profound, genuine, and abiding wisdom-consistently tempered with humor and peppered with unique, colloquial phraseology. It is a spiritual memoir as the world has never seen before, and will never see again.
"This hodgepodge of memoir, spiritual advice and poetry is a sincere attempt by the RZA, Wu Tang Clan founder and producer, to impart his accumulated life wisdom through the lens of hip-hop and idiosyncratic personal religion. To this end, the book opens with a series of paragraphs defining wisdom ('Wisdom is woman,' 'Woman is the word') and continues with the full Webster's Dictionary definition of wisdom. Repetition and generalization are problems, but serious fans of the Wu-Tang Clan, who surely are all of the potential readers for this book, will find some interesting stories of the RZA's early days through some diligent skimming. He writes about saving Method Man's life at the scene of a drug deal gone bad on Staten Island, the emotional connections shared in the projects over viewings of kung-fu movies and the marathon home production sessions during which he created the backing tracks for years' worth of albums for his cohorts. The spiritual message of the book can be hard to parse: the RZA embraces 5 Percent Nation Muslim teachings as well as Zen Buddhism — the latter is the basis for a mind-numbing section of 'Hip-Hop Koans' that includes 'Don't hate the player; hate the game.' Chess tips and a case for vegetarianism also factor into this singular work." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
The RZA, founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan and hip-hop culture's most dynamic genius, imparts the lessons he's learned on the journey that's taken him from the Staten Island projects to international superstar.
The RZA, founder of the Wu-Tang Clan, imparts the lessons he's learned on his journey from the Staten Island projects to international superstardom. A devout student of knowledge in every form in which he's found it, he distills here the wisdom he's acquired into seven "pillars," each based on a formative event in his life-from the moment he first heard the call of hip-hop to the death of his cousin and Clan- mate, Russell Jones, aka ODB. Delivered in RZA's unmistakable style, at once surprising, profound, and provocative, The Tao of Wu is a spiritual memoir the world has never seen before, and will never see again.

"RZA is a towering artist and deep thinker who has much to teach us. I salute his courageous vision and compassionate witness-as manifest in this book and his life!"
-Cornel West
"I congratulate the world for this beautiful gift, wisdom from the life and travels of RZA, wisdom I truly believe draws from the deepest pools of human thought and spirit...When a wise monk passes away, the monastery builds a pagoda in his memory. Some pagodas get one floor, some get two or three. But if the man was known as the wisest and most enlightened of all monks, his pagoda gets seven. I believe the seven pillars of wisdom in this book are like the seven floors of an exalted monk's pagoda. They represent the wisdom, knowledge, and enlightenment of a soul that has never stopped training, never stopped learning."
-Sifu Shi Yan Ming, thirty-fourth generation Shaolin Temple warrior monk

Winds could ground balloons in Macy's parade; rain and snow snarl holiday travel
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Thanksgiving travellers scrambled to book earlier flights Tuesday to avoid a sprawling storm bearing down on the East Coast with a messy mix of snow, rain and wind that threatened to snarl one of the busiest travel days of the year and ground giant balloon versions of Snoopy and SpongeBob SquarePants in the Macy's parade.
The characters that soar between Manhattan skyscrapers every year may not lift off Thursday if sustained winds exceed 23 mph and gusts exceed 34 mph, according to city rules enacted after fierce winds in 1997 caused a Cat in the Hat balloon to topple a light pole and seriously injure a spectator.
Current forecasts call for sustained winds of 20 mph and gusts of 36 mph.
"At this time, it is too early to make any determinations on the flight of the giant balloons," said Macy's spokesman Orlando Veras. "On Thanksgiving morning, Macy's works closely with the NYPD, who, based on real time weather data and the official regulations determine if the balloons will fly and at what heights."
Balloons have been grounded only once in the parade's 87-year history, when bad weather kept them from flying in 1971. They're set to be inflated in Manhattan on Wednesday evening.
Meanwhile, meteorologists warned that the storm, which has moved across the country, would almost certainly upset holiday travel plans on Wednesday for those hoping to visit loved ones in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Many travellers were moving to earlier flights, taking advantage of airlines' policies to waive their normal change fees.
Lisa Jablon was originally supposed to fly Delta from New York City to Syracuse, N.Y., on Wednesday at 9:39 a.m. But after following the storm's movements, she decided to jump on the last flight out Tuesday night.
"I'm flying up to spend the holiday with my boyfriend's family and I didn't want to get stuck," Jablon said. "The rain seems to be better off tonight than it looks tomorrow morning."
The good news is that the storm is supposed to pass through the Northeast before Thanksgiving Day, with the weather mostly clearing up by Wednesday evening.
Most airlines are hoping the storms won't be too severe, allowing them to continue operating a nearly full schedule with few cancellations, but likely a lot of delays, said Daniel Baker, CEO of FlightAware, a global flight tracking service.
"Cancellations are used as a good, preventative measure to avoid cascading delays that can negatively impact travellers thousands of miles away," Baker said.
Heavy rain and high winds would affect travel by air and road in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic and could have a ripple effect on airports with departing and originating flights elsewhere.
Heavy rain and breezy conditions were in the forecast Wednesday from the Carolinas to the Northeast, with ice and snow a possibility in the Appalachians, western Pennsylvania and western New York.
The storm system, already blamed for at least 11 deaths, could also spawn isolated tornadoes in the Florida Panhandle. The Southeast is set to suffer soaking rain in the coming days, primarily in Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky.
"It couldn't have come at a worse time," said meteorologist Tim Morrin of the National Weather Service. "Visibility will be restricted not only by the rain and wash from other cars, but from the fog."
After arguing with American Airlines on Tuesday, David Short was able to board a flight from New York City to Dallas a day earlier than planned. The airline initially told him it would cost $2,000 to get on the earlier flight, but a few hours later a representative told him the airline was offering flight-change waivers at no cost.
"It was definitely very frustrating and stressful, but it's all working out," Short said.
This holiday will likely see the most air travellers since 2007, according to Airlines for America, the industry's trade and lobbying group, with the busiest day being Sunday, an estimated 2.56 million passengers. Wednesday is expected to be the second-busiest, with 2.42 million passengers.

Why do clowns here discredit marquez at welterweight ?
Crazy how they base that assumption on a mayweather fight lol . The clowns act like marquez got knocked out or lost to a journeyman or someone like mike jones or matthew hatton lmao . Seriously its stupid to assume marquez cant fight at welter off a mayweather loss . So I guess delahoya , hatton , mosely , baldomir , gatti and zab judah shoudlve returned or stayed at lightweight too . im not saying marquez would tear sh1t up in the welterweight division but I am saying that he also wont get torn up by manny come this fall . Expect a hell of a fight and dont listen to clowns lol

This is the most idiotic topic I have ever read.
A) Marquez fought at 147 was destroyed becuase he had never fought in that weight class before. It was pretty stupid to take on someone like Mayweather Jr. at a weight class you have little experience but then again Marquez likes money alot don't we all?
B) Marquez moved back down to 135 because he knew thats where he belongs
C) Marquez moved back up to 140 fought a guy none of us ever really heard of and KO'd a cab-driver with a glass chin in the 1rst round with a straight right.
D) Marquez is now fighting Manny who has fought at 140, 147, and 154(caughtweights)
It's a pointless fight because Marquez beat no one we ever heard of at 140 or higher. He didn't beat a peterson, campbell, ortiz, hatton, cotto, margarito. He beat no one of note at 140 and above.
All time great

Respectfully he didn't get KO'd because floyd kinda pulled back. He could've repeated the 2nd round every round if he wanted to.
That said you are right about judging him just off the mayweather fight.

well IMO JMM probably even realizes that welterweight is not an ideal weight for him
how else do you explain
1. he immediately moved back down to lightweight
2. and as a tune up for a November fight at 144lbs he weighs all of 138lbs.
the first point you could make a case as he wanted to defend his titles but with a shot at being the first Mexican born 4 division chance at 140 wouldn't you have thought that would have been an ideal goal?
and with the 2nd point generally tune ups are made at weights where the fighter feels he can make with ease. This fight with Ramos was at 140lbs, yet JMM weighed 138
the guy is not a welterweight

Goar: A door opens for the mentally ill
For the first time, a person who's been through the psychiatric system is given a voice in decision-making.
Share via Email
History was made in a quiet committee room at Queen's Park last week.
For the first time, an individual living openly with mental illness was appointed to the Consent and Capacity Board, the powerful tribunal that determines whether Ontarians receiving psychiatric treatment are capable of living outside an institution without endangering themselves or others. It handles about 4,500 cases a year.
The board has 131 members: 45 lawyers, 44 psychiatrists and 42 members of the public (retired public figures, community leaders, caregivers and relatives of psychiatric patients).
What it didn't have until last week was anyone who had been institutionalized for mental illness, labelled, stereotyped and limited by the opinions of doctors and the fears of society.
Pat Capponi has survived all that — plus poverty, isolation and the misperception that psychiatric patients never recover.
Last Tuesday, she was unanimously approved by the Public Appointments Committee as the newest member of the Consent and Capacity Board.
The all-party committee rarely gives its unanimous endorsement to any nominee for the province's 258 agencies, boards and commissions. It has never said yes to a candidate with credentials like Capponi's.
The hearing was surprisingly low-key. Capponi made a brief opening statement, describing her background, qualifications and why she wanted to serve on the board.
She took MPPs back to the day, 30 years ago, when she convinced the late Larry Grossman, who was minister of health, to visit the boarding home she shared with 70 other discharged psychiatric patients. She wanted him to see how they lived and hear their stories.
That was her first breakthrough. Since then, she has sat at many tables: the board of the old Clarke Institute and the new Centre for Addictions and Mental Health, former mayor Mel Lastman's task force on discharged psychiatric patients and the Toronto Police Board's subcommittee on mental health. She has taught what she's learned to other people with mental disorders.
"There is much more to us than the often-obscuring labels we carry," she said. "We have proven over and over again that given the opportunity, we respond with pride, ability and courage."
Then she faced questions from the politicians. Only one, from former Conservative health minister Jim Wilson, challenged her fitness for the job. Citing the case of a psychiatric patient released from Penetanguishene Mental Health Centre who went on a crime spree that ended in murder, he asked Capponi if she was tough enough to say no.
"If you do the crime, you do the time," she said firmly. "I am sterner than most (mental health advocates)."
She added that the board's mandate doesn't leave a lot of room for discretion. Members must balance the rights of involuntarily detained psychiatric patients against society's right to safety. They must provide reasons for their decisions.
The hearing was over in 20 minutes. Wilson joined his colleagues in the groundbreaking consensus.
Capponi was still shaking as MPPs scurried off to the Legislature. "Holy sh--," she said, realizing the huge responsibility she'd taken on.
Maria Van Bommel, a Liberal backbencher who'd remained behind, offered her congratulations. "We're going to deal with the stigma of mental illness, one person at a time," she vowed.
Capponi's biggest backer wasn't there. But Judge Ted Ormston, who chairs the Consent and Capacity Board, was confident she'd clear the final hurdle.
He was the one who recruited her. He put her through a rigorous screening. And he is excited about what Capponi will bring to the board. "Patients will look across the table at her and gain hope. It's the single most powerful stigma-reducing thing there is."
Ormston looks to her to help him eliminate the board's us-and-them culture. "It's only us."

Molecular Medicine and Gene Therapy
The Division of Molecular Medicine and Gene Therapy is located at the Biomedical Center (BMC), Lund University, Sweden. Established as a joint venture between the Medical Faculty at Lund University and the Hematology Clinic at Lund University Hospital, our mission is to translate basic science to clinical applications.
Our research focuses on hematopoiesis, the continuous and dynamic process of blood cell formation. The laboratory consists of eight closely collaborating research groups that all share a common interest in investigating the properties of blood stem cells to eventually understand and treat hematological disorders.
Five of our researchers belong to the Hemato-Linné Excellence Linnaeus Research Environment funded by The Swedish Research Council and Lund University. Several of the groups are engaged in StemTherapy, a Strategic Research Area for Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine that is also supported by The Swedish Research Council.
Each year UniStem organizes a big outreach event on stem cells dedicated to high school students. In 2014 the event was organized simultaneously by 47 universities across Italy, Spain, Ireland, Sweden and UK and the plan is to get even more universities across Europe involved for 2015. This year Lund Stem Cell Center, via the Research School, will organize UniStem Day in Lund! The event will take place on Friday March 13th.
Congratulations to Jonas Larsson who was recently awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant. Of the 2,525 applications received from all over Europe, 372 were awarded funding. Jonas Larsson is one out of nine Swedish researchers who received an ERC Consolidator Grant 2014. He was awarded € 2 million for his research on "Uncovering Targets for Ex Vivo Expansion of Hematopoietic Stem Cells to Enhance Cell Therapies of Blood Disorders (UNEXPECTED)".
Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown effect of vitamin A during fetal development.
The results show that vitamin A affects the formation of blood cells that occurs during human embryonic development.
Professor Xiaolong Fan from Beijing Normal University, China, will hold a lecture entitled "Molecular Classification of Glioma" on February 11 at 14:00 in Segerfalk lecture hall, BMC A10. Professor Fan's laboratory has recently published a paper in PNAS (2014) describing key findings in the molecular classification of glioma. Xiaolong Fan has been a member of the Division of Molecular Medicine between 1997 and 2001 where he mainly focused on the development of adenoviral vector-mediated gene transfer into human hematopoietic cells.
Please welcome Xiaojie Xian! Xiaojie joined the vector unit headed by Niels-Bjarne Woods as a senior researcher and will also work part-time for the department as a lab manager.
"I was working extensively with in vivo mouse system to explore the mechanism of tumour metastasis and pancreas development for my PhD study.

With Stone, Steel & Bright Lights, Farrar has collected live recordings from last year's tour, some performed solo but most aided by the five-piece Canyon. These solo, acoustic songs are faithful to the originals, though the live context reveals little about the songs. Farrar's unflagging stoicism may be part of the package, but it hardly makes him engaging to watch or hear perform live. Things pick up a bit with the addition of Canyon's dreamy, reverberating gauze; on "Make It Alright," Farrar is bolstered by the driving backbeat and is allowed to take flight over the beautiful haze. It's enlightening to hear Farrar work with this adventuresome, spectral quintet, and Canyon's contributions elicit Farrar's finest moments.
Stone, Steel & Bright Lights picks exclusively from Farrar's solo output (two albums and one EP), and while some of his best songs are contained here (the short, satisfying "Greenwich Time" and the rollicking "Damn Shame"), his myth-making work with Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt is left out. One can admire this "don't look back" approach, but it leaves this live album an incomplete picture of Farrar's impressive output. As it stands, Stone, Steel & Bright Lights is preaching to the converted for Farrar fans, though don't be surprised if Canyon gets a boost in sales.
