Minnesota's Nikola Pekovic out 7-10 days with bursitis in right ankle
Jan 28, 2014, 4:25 PM EDT
You didn't think we were going to go another day without an NBA injury, did you?
The last time the Minnesota Timberwolves were above .500 they were 8-7 and you hadn't even had your Thanksgiving turkey yet. Ten times since then they have gotten back to .500 and 10 times they lost the next game.
They are hoping to break that streak Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans, but they are going to have to do it without big man Nikola Pekovic.
Pekovic is out for 7-10 days with bursitis in his right ankle, the team announced Tuesday. His ankle was bothering him before the Bulls game Monday and he played just six minutes before leaving for the rest of the night.
Bursitis is the inflammation or irritation of the sac of fluid that provides lubrication between bones, muscle ligaments and the like. We more often see this injury in elbows and shoulders than ankles.
Announcement: Pro Basketball Talk's partner FanDuel is hosting a one-day $65,000 Fantasy Basketball league for Tuesday night's games. It's $25 to join and first prize is $8,000. Starts at 7pm ET on Tuesday. Here's the FanDuel link.
Pekovic provides 18 points and 9 rebounds a game for Minnesota, plus he provides the physicality inside the team needs to let Kevin Love do his thing. Pekovic, however, does not provide a lot of rim protection.
Expect to see a lot more Ronny Turiaf, some Dante Cunningham and maybe some Gorgui Dieng filling in for Pekovic.

Could GM rice feed the world?
With the production of rice failing to keep up with population growth, the mapping of the rice genome, published today, could be a historic step towards finding a solution, writes Steve Connor
Friday 05 April 2002
The publication today of the full genetic recipe for the world's most important food crop – otherwise known as the rice genome – has thrown the spotlight on the difficulties facing global agriculture. The production of rice, like many staple crops in the developing world, is failing to keep pace with the growth in the human population. Already, in many parts of the world, there is not enough rice to meet demand. Could the manipulation of rice genes using DNA technology provide the answer?
The publication today of the full genetic recipe for the world's most important food crop – otherwise known as the rice genome – has thrown the spotlight on the difficulties facing global agriculture. The production of rice, like many staple crops in the developing world, is failing to keep pace with the growth in the human population. Already, in many parts of the world, there is not enough rice to meet demand. Could the manipulation of rice genes using DNA technology provide the answer?
Half of the people alive today rely on rice to provide them with 80 per cent of their dietary needs. For a third of the world's population, rice is the principle, or indeed the sole source of vital calories. At the same time, some 24,000 people die each day of hunger and its related causes, and another 800 million, many of them children, go to bed each night hungry and malnourished.
Since the "green revolution" of the late 20th century, when increased agricultural production banished many, but not all, famines, rice has been at the centre of the improvements in cereal crop yields. Between the 1960s and 1980s, the rate of increase in rice production just about matched the rate at which human numbers were also increasing. We were, by and large, able to believe that we could feed the new mouths that appeared each year.
However, something happened in the 1990s to cast new doubts over this assumption. Scientists first began to detect the decline in rice production in Thailand and India, and then confirmed it by long-term field trials in the Philippines. The problem seemed complex. Intensive rice cropping damaged the delicate soils of the rice paddies; overwatering boosted production but led to a rise in salinity levels; and some new rice varieties simply reached their highest possible yields.
The rate of increase in rice production fell to less than half of what it was in the previous three decades. Over the last decade, for the first time in a generation, the rate of increase in the population exceeded that for the rate of increase in rice production. The Food and Agriculture Organisation wanted to find out why, so they set up a task force with the unwieldy name of the Expert Consultation on Yield Gap and Productivity Decline in Rice Production.
It was a straightforward, almost Malthusian problem. Unless rice production could be boosted, we were heading for a global famine on a scale that no-one could predict. "We'll need to increase current rice production from nearly 600 million tons annually to almost 800 million tons by the year 2025," says Nguu Nguyen, an agricultural officer at the FAO. And just to make things more difficult, it will have to be done using less land, labour, water and pesticides, or the increased yield will be unsustainable, says Nguyen.
If this sounds like mission-near-impossible, you'd be right. Past experience suggests that boosting yields can only be achieved by using more land, water, and pesticides. Combined with the clever creation of high-yielding hybrid crops, this was essentially how the green revolution managed to increase production to feed a growing world. Many agriculturalists, however, say that although this worked once before, we have to think of some new tricks – which is where the rice genome comes in.
Donald Kennedy, the editor of the journal Science, which publishes the genome studies today, believes that rice could prove more important even than the deciphering of the human genome. The genetic code for rice "will speed improvements in nutritional quality, crop yield and sustainable agriculture to meet the world's growing needs", he says.
The sentiment is matched by Gane Ka-Shu Wong, senior research scientist at the University of Washington's Genome Center, and a lead author on the Science study. "Rice is considered the model genome for all the cereal crops, such as maize, oats, wheat and barley. If you put all these cereal crops together, something like 80 per cent of all the calories consumed in the world come from genomes that are very similar to rice," explains Dr Wong.
Steven Briggs, from the Swiss-based agrochemicals firm Syngenta, agrees: "The genome map of rice is directly related to corn, wheat and barley and provides commercial opportunities for the improvement of all cereal crops – the foundation for the world's food supply."
Dr Briggs was part of the Syngenta team that sequenced the japonica variety of rice, whereas Dr Wong worked alongside the Chinese scientists who decoded the DNA sequence of the indica strain. Combining the results of the two studies suggests that the rice plant possesses between 45,000 and 56,000 genes – perhaps more than the estimated 30,000-40,000 human genes.
The apparent dearth of genes in the human genome belies its hidden complexity. Whereas most rice genes appear to be involved in producing a single protein, many human genes appear to be able to produce more than one by a genetic trick known as "alternate splicing".
"What is interesting about rice and other plants is that there is relatively little alternate splicing," says Dr Wong. "In the case of humans, it's like each gene is a Swiss army knife and you can do a lot of things with one knife. If you do not use a Swiss army knife, you have to carry a separate tool for everything."
A direct comparison between the human and rice genomes has resulted in another finding. "We have compared the genome map of rice to that of humans, and despite having eaten plants for millions of years, there is no evidence that dietary DNA from plants can be taken up into the DNA of humans. So a crop gene produced by biotechnology is unlikely to be acquired by livestock or humans," says Dr Briggs.
Comparing the rice genome with that of arabidopsis, a weed-like plant that has become a genetic model for the botanist, reveals that they share about 8,000 genes, a legacy of a common ancestor dating back to about 200 million years ago when the two major branches of plants (monocots and dicots) diverged.
More interestingly, rice appears to share much in common with the other cereal crops, which had a common ancestor some 50 to 70 million years ago. Dr Briggs says that this is why Syngenta spent about $30m (£21m) decoding the rice genome. "We are working to improve mainly our varieties of maize and wheat using the rice genome," Dr Briggs says. "Because the organisation of the rice genome and the sequence of its genes is directly related to that of the other cereals, we are using it primarily for the purpose of improving those other cereals. We expect to see improvements both in yield and in quality of the grain produced by the application of the rice genome."
By decoding the genes of rice and other staple crops, scientists hope to find new ways of improving productivity by increasing, for instance, resistance of the plants to drought and pests. With rice in particular, there are great hopes of improving its nutritional content – "golden" rice, genetically engineered with a gene for enriching vitamin A, is an example of what could be done in the future. As the authors of the Science paper conclude: "Continued application of genomic and biotechnology tools to crop improvement will be necessary to meet future food, health and material challenges."
The "high-tech" solution to global food shortages is not, however, universally accepted. Environmental groups such as Greenpeace are opposed to genetic modification of crops, arguing that it is about maximising profits for multinational companies rather than helping the poor. Greenpeace cites other ways of boosting rice production that do not rely on increased agrochemicals or gene technology. Planting different rice varieties in fields affected by fungal disease has increased some yields in China by 89 per cent, it says. But Greenpeace also says that it is not yields alone that matter. "The ghost of Malthus still haunts debates about food security, despite widespread recognition that it is not food production per se that determines whether the world is fed or not," says a report by Greenpeace called The Real Green Revolution.
"In this sense, arguments as to whether different forms of agriculture can 'feed the world' are simplistic," it says. "Other significant intermediary factors influence access to and distribution of food on the global and regional scales and within communities."

New era for Microsoft as Surface tablet and Windows 8 go on sale
Microsoft embarked on a new era Friday as its two long-anticipated projects finally went on sale: a major overhaul of its operating system and a foray into hardware with a tablet computer.
It took years to get both on the shelves, and now Microsoft is waiting to see whether customers will bite. The firm set up temporary stores to get its products in front of more shoppers. There was even a "pop-up" store in Times Square for a major midnight launch Friday morning.
The products mark Microsoft's first steps at shifting its focus from the software that made it a technology giant to the hardware and services that it believes will carry it into the post-PC era.
With its tablet, the Surface, Microsoft is battling for a share of a market dominated by Apple's iPad. The iPad has about 60 per cent of the world's tablet market, but that is down from 80 per cent two years ago. Competing tablets running Google's Android system appear nearly every month.
Rhoda Alexander, an analyst for IHS iSuppli, said Microsoft's brand recognition may help it cut through the cluttered market. "Consumers stick to companies with which they already have a relationship," she said. "The first tendency is to initially gravitate toward brands that you know."
Microsoft is entering the market relatively late and has a lot of ground to make up. The company has not issued any sales estimates for the Surface and did not disclose how many were snapped up on its first day on the market.
Hopes remain high for the Surface tablet, which went on sale Friday after receiving mixed reviews. Reviewers praised the clean lines and solid build of the tablet, but found the software less appealing. The device doesn't support older versions of Windows software and only runs applications downloaded from the dedicated Windows Store.
With Windows 8, the stakes are even higher. Microsoft made bold changes in its operating system to make it more appealing to mobile users. The system is designed to work on traditional and mobile devices, and users can control the system by keyboard and mouse or, in some cases, by touch.
Making such radical changes to its central product could be a risky bet for Microsoft. Reviewers and early users have said its attempt to bridge the divide between new and old technology can be confusing to operate. Users may decide to stick with their current versions of Windows until Microsoft polishes more of the system's rough edges.
The Surface tablet starts at $499. Users can upgrade to Windows 8 for $40 online or order a disc for $70.

Update 21/4 - We added the DUP manifesto.
Update 20/4 - We added the SNP manifesto and Labour's Green Plan.
Update 17/4 - We added the Plaid Cymru manifesto.
Update 15/4 - We added the Liberal Democrat and UKIP manifestos.
Update 14/4 - We added the Conservative and Green Party manifestos.
The UK's closest election in a generation is now three weeks away. Carbon Brief is tracking the climate and energy content of the parties' manifestos as they are launched.
Labour went first on Monday 13 April, followed a day later by the Conservatives and Greens. The Liberal Democrats and the UK Independence Party launched on Wednesday 15 April. Other parties followed over the following week.
In contrast to 2010, climate change has barely featured on the campaign trail so far. That's despite - or perhaps because of - the joint climate pledge from the leaders of the three largest parties. This promised to work towards a legally-binding global climate deal, to agree new UK emissions-cutting goals and to phase out unabated coal-fired power.
Carbon Brief's climate and energy tracker will be updated through the week as the manifestos come in, allowing party policies to be compared side by side. The image below is a preview of the information available if you click through to the interactive online version.
Carbon Brief's climate and energy election grid includes key extracts from the 2015 election manifestos along with commentary and links to further information. Click the image or this link for the full interactive version.
Climate campaigners celebrated on Thursday as 98% of shareholders backed a resolution forcing BP to come clean about the impact that climate change will have on its operations.
BP is a company which emits about the same volume of greenhouse gases as Norway. It has advocated for a global economy-wide price on carbon, yet also scaled back its investments in renewable energy. Thanks to the resolution, it will have to be more transparent in the future about how it plans to move towards a greener business model.
The Financial Times described the vote as a "major victory" for activists, while transparency pressure group CDP called it "a game changing day".
Yet the resolution, though unusual, was not controversial. BP itself backed the motion, and it received the overwhelming support of shareholders across the board. A similar motion, backed by Shell, will be put to vote at their AGM on 19 May.
Carbon Brief looks at whether the resolution could change BP's approach to climate change for the better.
Update 21/4 - We added the views of Tim Rotheray.
Update 20/4 - We added the views of Professor Paul Ekins.
In three weeks, the UK will go to the polls in one of the closest-fought and least predictable elections in a generation. Carbon Brief has already pored over the political parties' manifesto views on climate and energy.
But the likelihood of a multi-party coalition makes extrapolating pre-election commitments into future government action a real challenge. Carbon Brief asked a range of experts for their views on the May 7 poll's implications, in particular:
What are the key climate and energy dividing lines for the election?
How do you see potential election outcomes affecting climate and energy policy, post-election and in the run-up to Paris?
Here's what they had to say:
Jim Watson, research director of the UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) and professor of energy policy at the University of Sussex Science and Technology Policy Research Centre (SPRU):
"The large uncertainty about the outcome of the election, particularly the different coalitions that may emerge, makes it hard to predict what the next government's policy will look like. An important lesson of the 2010 election is that strong manifesto commitments by some parties could be traded off in post-election negotiations if the result is close. "However, given the recent joint statement by Miliband, Cameron and Clegg, a strong commitment to continued emissions reductions is likely. There is much more uncertainty about specifics. If the Conservatives lead the next government, there would be more pressure to reduce funding for some low carbon technologies - including cost effective options like onshore wind. If a Labour-led government sees its plans through, this would mean significant regulatory upheaval - and a reinforcement of the more interventionist policies we have seen in the past few years."

AKQA expands to Portland to be closer to Nike
By Sarah Shearman, campaignlive.co.uk, Tuesday, 02 October 2012 12:10PM
AKQA is expanding its presence in the US after its acquisition by WPP, with the launch of two new offices including Portland, Oregon, allowing it to be closer to the headquarters of long-standing client Nike.
The primary reason for opening the office in Portland is to better service Nike, which the agency has worked with for more than 12 years. It will also be closer to the Portland headquarters of Nike's creative agency, Wieden & Kennedy.
Through its Atlanta office it will be able to better service nearby clients such as The Coca-Cola Company, Turner Broadcasting, Delta Airlines and Coca-Cola, as well as Verizon Wireless, which has a big presence in the region.
The offices will employ around a dozen staff each and they are recruiting.
As well as better servicing clients, the agency claims the expansion is part of a strategy to tap the "talent pool" in the cities.
Plans for the new offices were in place before the agency was acquired by network giant WPP for $540m (£348m), in July.
According to Tom Bedecarre, chairman of AKQA, the business is expanding to "enhance our ability to make new connections and deliver solution for clients globally."
He added that the opening of its new offices represented its "commitment to a rich technology ecosystem and talent pool".
AKQA was founded in London in 1995 and now has 10 offices globally. The two new offices in the US add to San Francisco, Washington DC and New York.
In January, AKQA opened in Paris to better service Nike.

Ambassador to Luxembourg: Who is Robert Mandell?
Saturday, August 06, 2011
On June 28, President Barack Obama announced his intention to replace one top donor with another in making his latest pick for ambassador to Luxembourg: Florida real estate developer Robert A. Mandell.
Obama first went with Cynthia Stroum, a Seattle investor and Obama bundler who resigned in February after a State Department report found Stroum had turned the U.S. embassy in Luxembourg into "a state of dysfunction." Words like "bullying," "hostile," and "intimidating" were used to describe Stroum by Foreign Service officers serving under her.
Mandell is a native of Florida who earned his college and law degrees from the University of Florida. He also took part in the Owner Management Program at Harvard Business School.
A developer by profession, with no prior diplomatic experience, Mandell served as chairman and CEO of The Greater Construction Corp. from 1998 until 2005. He purchased his father's business, Greater Homes, in 2005 and turned it into Greater Properties, Inc., a mall development company. He also operates Meritage Homes of Central Florida, which has built more than 20 residential communities in Orlando, St. Cloud and Winter Garden.
Mandell has served on the board of directors of Florida Hospital, the Burnham Institute for Medical Research of La Jolla, California, and the Vermont Studio Center. He also has served on the Audit and Finance Committee of the Adventist Health System and as trustee for the OK Corrall Ranch, Colorado,
He has been a member of the Orange County Chairman's Transportation Commission and the Orange County Public Schools' Blue Ribbon Panel on Education.
In 2010, Obama appointed Mandell to the President's Export Council, a White House group that advises on matters of international trade.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, he donated more than $30,000 to Obama's presidential campaign. Mandell also donated $50,000 to Obama's inauguration committee. In addition, he has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates since 1992.

The page was trimmed because the "solution" it presented has a large number of issues which make it a terrible approach to the problem. The page was locked because a large number of people apparently would prefer an immediate copy-and-paste wrong solution to a proper solution which involves a bit more study, time and effort.

Would you like to elaborate some more about that on the wiki page, and explain in what context it's ok to use the thread-locals approach (such as in Django i18n)?

Recent Illinois reviews
"It is my pleasure to recommend this property to most anyone who needs "a home away from home." My husband had serious surgery at Northwestern Hospital and our daughters traveled some distance to support us. This apartment was perfect for us girls while my husband was in the hospital. After his discharge from the hospital, my husband and I were greeted with warm hugs and delicious pastries made by our generous host - Nadiya. At that point it was just the two of us in this darling unit. Nadiya treated us like family and just looking at the picture above again - makes me homesick for it. The unit and owner are both a true delight! Thanks again for making us feel so at "home" in your home. We shall return!!!"
"Just returned from a lovely stay at a wonderful mini farm set in some pretty rolling wooded hills. The best word I can think of to describe the cabin is charming and the owners are charming, warm lovely people as well. The farm has some friendly horses, cows, a dog and a cat and some nice hiking. If you would like a taste of the "country life" this property is perfect. The owners go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and that this is your home away from home. I got a yummy plate of freshly baked cookies and even a tour of the main house! It's quiet and peaceful and the master bedroom bed is thick foam mattress and super comfy. You are away from it all and yet a few minutes drive and you can find groceries or a fine restaurant. It truly is the best of both worlds and I would definitely stay there again"
"I booked this place for an extended family getaway for a long weekend. Age 70 to just 1 year (brought a pack and play for the baby). Everyone found something to do. Fishing, hiking, biking, swimming, game room, horseback riding, kayak, by the way all of this was done right in the community the house is at. Plus of course heading into downtown Galena for shopping...only a 15 to 20 minute drive. If you plan on coming I would recommend making reservations at the stable for riding and the kayaks as soon as you get there. They can book up fast especially on Sat/Sun. I would only bring bikes if those who are riding are old enough to be comfortable on the road (no sidewalks) and can handle HILLS! Although there is a nice paved trail up the way it is extremely hilly, we are talking going down at 25 mph and having to walk the bike partway up the hills. That being said there were several of us adults and some pre-teen and teenagers who rode the bikes to the pool. Totally doable, only about 1.5 mi ride to the pool and game room, (bring a bike lock), but again extremely hilly and you are sharing the road with cars. Now to the house, just as it is pictured! The only thing missing out the pictures is the hill that makes up the driveway! Mavis was extremely helpful with questions prior to booking and never had a problem there. The kitchen has plenty of pots/pans, even a Keurig. No need to bring much. I just brought my favorite chopping knife. There is a Piggly Wiggly grocery store about 5 minutes past downtown Galena. We actually only ate out for a few lunches, we had all our dinners in the house...utilized the grill often. (Grill is not perfect, the shelf is WOBBLY, but will do.) I would totally recommend this place to a large family. Lots of fun in the area."
"You always wish you can find owners like Marta and Jason. Their cozy apartment was perfect for my group of 4 that was in town for Riot Fest. The apartment is clean and stocked with just about anything you would expect to find in your own place. They even provide some breakfast foods to get your visit started. We actually arrived with a small cold front, but the apartment easily keeps you warm at night. The shower was always hot, the WiFi was always strong, and the owners were always friendly. Marta and Jason live on the property and made themselves available for any questions and requests. I've been to Chicago quite a few times, and this is by far, the best neighborhood I've stayed in. We always felt safe and everything is only a few minutes away. We ventured without a car, which was fine, because you have a Blue line stop 5 minutes away, and multiple, convenient buses nearby. Our group really took advantage of the great eats in the surrounding area of Wicker Park. Some recommendations nearby: Las Palmas (Mexican), Max's Wine Dive (American), and of course, our daily stop at Stan's Donuts & Coffee (Amazing). The 72 bus got us to and from Riot Fest at Humboldt Park everyday and night from the festival. If for some reason, you're to lazy at night to use a CTA option, there always seems to be multiple Uber drivers in the area. Chicago is a fantastic city. But when you're staying in a great little place like this, in a location you can't beat, the experience is only enhanced that much more. Without hesitation, I would stay here again."

This year's Super Bowl ads didn't send out any real ripples – nothing like 2013's oddly sensational Go Daddy spot with Bar Refaeli making out with a gratefully passionate nerd. In general, they settled for cute, if not always as cute as they were supposed to be. A Volkswagen ad that imagined German engineers getting wings ended with a proctological gag that stayed within good taste but never escaped the fact that it was a proctological gag.

The Muppets Take on Twitter Trolls in Latest Muppets Most Wanted Trailer
Originally posted 01/13/2014 03:30PM
If you watched the Golden Globes on Sunday night, you'll know that Muppets Most Wanted was totally shut out when it came to nominations. Of course, this is because the movie doesn't come out until March, but still – The Muppets aren't too happy about it.
The latest trailer for the upcoming film, which debuted during the 2014 Golden Globes broadcast, finds fans of the eponymous puppets arguing about the lack of respect given to the film during the 2013 awards season. (For the record, the franchise itself hasn't exactly been snubbed by the award-giving elite: The Muppets's 2011 comeback won an Oscar for Best Song in 2012.) In classic online form, the dispute soon devolves into a cavalcade of misspelling, name-calling and spam links, from such wits as @HotFudge1218 and @Babybean1128.

4 Must-See Moments from Lady Gaga & the Muppets' Holiday Spectacular

As Kermit the Frog recently noted, the Muppets have a long history with Lady Gaga. Mother Monster took the dapper amphibian as her date to the VMAs in 2009, and has even worn him as a fashion statement.
So, it wasn't a huge surprise that the "Born this Way" songstress was joined by the Muppets crew for a holiday-themed musical special that aired on ABC Thursday evening ... especially since Gaga is promoting her new album, ArtPop, and Kermit, Piggy and Co. star in the upcoming flick Muppets Most Wanted.
In case you missed the show, which featured guest appearances from RuPaul, Elton John, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Kristen Bell, we've rounded up some of the most memorable clips below.

They've done a Grease episode, they've done a Rocky Horror episode, and now it appears Glee may be doing a Muppets episode.

Jane Henson Dies of Cancer

Jim Henson's partner in marriage and Muppets has died.
Jane Henson died at age 78 Tuesday at her Connecticut home following a battle with cancer, according to the Jim Henson Co.
She and Henson met in a University of Maryland puppetry class in the mid-1950s, and they became creative and business partners in the development of the Muppets.
The Hensons married in 1959 and had five children: Lisa, Cheryl, Brian, John and Heather. The pair separated in 1986, and Jim Henson died in 1990.
Miss Piggy Keeps Paparazzi at Bay by Tossing Cupcakes
Originally posted 11/23/2011 08:00PM
In the Internet age, it's harder than ever for celebrities to avoid the prying cameras of the paparazzi – and no one knows that better than Miss Piggy.
"Sometimes they get a little bit too close," the porcine diva told PEOPLE during a recent interview at the Beverly Hilton. "It is not like they catch my bad side, because I don't have one. So that is never the problem. The problem is being seen with the wrong guy."
Piggy's new movie, The Muppets, opened Wednesday, and though it's brought her back in the spotlight, the star says her promotional tour has been "grueling."
"I am telling you, I have never worked so hard in my life," Miss Piggy says.
Should the Muppets Host the Academy Awards?
Originally posted 11/10/2011 03:00PM
With Eddie Murphy out as host of the Oscars, the search is on for his replacement. But who is beloved, charming and recognizable enough with the comedic timing to carry the most famous awards show? No one said it had to be a person.
A social media campaign has emerged on Facebook and Twitter advocating for Jim Henson's Muppets to take over hosting duties at the 84th Academy Awards on Feb. 26.
With their own feature film out in theaters Nov. 23, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear and the gang are certainly experiencing a career resurgence. And just imagine the fashion possibilities for Piggy.

DURING a time of rapid and rampant development Noosa took the road less travelled.
The man who mapped, navigated and fought for this new direction was Noosa conservationist Dr Arthur Harrold.
Last Friday, at Drysdale Chapel, Tewantin, more than a 150 family and friends turned out to bid farewell to the man who was described as a visionary and having infinite patience.
Born in 1918, Dr Arthur Harrold studied arts and medicine at Cambridge University and St Bartholomew's hospital.
His passion at Cambridge was botany. He served as a young doctor in the Second World War and then travelled to Australia with the Royal Navy in Australia where he met his wife, Marjorie.
At the service conservationists Michael Gloster and John Sinclair spoke of the man who settled in Noosa in 1960 with two young children and started up his medical practice in Noosaville. "His home at Little Cove became conservation headquarters," Dr Gloster said.
This was where the hundreds of battles that kept Noosa green were planned. Out of those many battles, Dr Gloster said there were two that could be called the "sweetest moments".
One came after the 22-year battle that finally ensured the security of Noosa National Park from development and the creation of Cooloola National Park.
"It's hard to get your head around his vision for that time," Dr Gloster said.
But against all odds, he relentlessly pursued and achieved his national park vision.
"He knew how to go to George St and get support," Dr Gloster said.
"He was trusted in the corridors of power because they knew he would keep his word."
John Sinclair, who fought sand mining on Fraser Island with Dr Harrold in the early 1970s recalled the beginning of their battle.
"We sat down at a meeting on a Saturday afternoon and devised a strategy," he said.
"I think that's when we came up with FIDO - Fraser Island Defenders Organisation."
He said that Dr Harrold's emotional feel for the landscape coupled with his scientific background made him a passionate environmental campaigner.
"He was not prepared to just be an academic," he said.
"He was a man of action."
But, in the end, Dr Harrold 's achievments did not need to be painted in words.
They could be seen all around us.

Ken Salazar's role in BP disaster: More spin than reform?
The finger-pointing over the massive oil slick threatening the Gulf Coast is spreading almost as fast as the spill itself. While critics on the right chortle over Department of the Interior chief of staff Tom Strickland's ill-timed trip to the Grand Canyon in the midst of the developing crisis, the White House and DOI have been firing off relentless press releases detailing the administration's minute-by-minute efforts to contain the spill and prepare for the worst, while heaping blame on British Petroleum -- which is firing back with its own inspiring updates about the company's heroic efforts to fix the mess. The folks over at grist.org are dubbing the political maneuvering over the spill Spinapalooza 2010. And nobody is spinning harder at the moment than Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar.
Whether his agency's pull-out-all-stops-and-lower-the-booms response to the spill ultimately averts an environmental catastrophe or proves stunningly ineffective, Salazar is receiving a degree of scrutiny now that he largely avoided in his first year on the job. And uncomfortable questions are emerging about the degree to which the reform-minded former Colorado senator may have been more focused on rhetoric rather than action in his approach to environmental safety in offshore drilling operations, before the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon made the issue too pressing to ignore. One of Salazar's first acts as Secretary was to visit the Lakewood office of the Minerals Management Service and declare that there was a new sheriff in town. His "top priority," he told Congress, would be to restore integrity to Interior and especially MMS, the scandal-plagued watchdog that had become entirely too cozy with energy companies during the Bush era. Unfortunately, the promised overhaul didn't come quickly enough to make any real difference in offshore drilling procedures. Under Bush, MMS officials had concluded that any possible spill at BP's Gulf operations would have minimal environmental impact. And, as this Washington Post story details, under Salazar the MMS continued to grant hundreds of "categorical exclusions" that allowed oil companies to drill offshore without detailed environmental impact analyses -- and yes, BP's Deepwater Horizon lease received just such an exemption last year. Given that DOI in the Bush years was heavily criticized for basically rubber-stamping one industry request after another to drill wherever the hell they wanted, it's alarming to see the tough-talking sheriff doing the same thing. Doubtless, major overhauls of offshore drilling regs are now in the works -- and will be roundly protested as a knee-jerk reaction to a spill that remains at this point largely unexplained. For a preview, check out these comments by former FEMA director Michael Brown. But even major reform at this point won't erase the impression that what was supposed to be a "pro-active" administration has been placed in the familiar position of reacting to a crisis after the genie -- and the sludge -- is already out of the bottle.

Ed Helms Joins the Griswolds
Rusty Griswold is all grown-up. Ed Helms is in talks with New Line to star in a new installment of the Vacation franchise as the son of Clark Griswold, now an adult with a family of his own. For all of you blissfully ignorant young people: Chevy Chase originally played Griswold patriarch Clark, who dragged his poor family around the world on crappy slapstick vacations over the course of the original film, Vacation, followed by European Vacation, Christmas Vacation, and Vegas Vacation. (Don't believe the masses; Vegas had some moments. Wayne Newton? Ethan Embry?! And Randy Quaid straight killed it.) No word on where this new Vacation will be set, although Horrible Bosses writers John Francis Daley, a.k.a. (as it should be pointed out for at least the next five years of his successful adult career) Sam Weir from Freaks & Geeks, and Jonathan Goldstein are whipping up the screenplay now.
Congrats to Ed Helms, who's made a lot of money for a lot of people over the course of two Hangovers and so should get to star in as many high-profile, big-budget studio comedies as he pleases. And congrats as well to Hollywood, for continuing to think independently by refusing to be swayed by the fact that everyone makes fun of it for not having any original ideas. Live your life, Hollywood! But just one question here: Won't things get a little dark for this next generation of Griswolds, as Rusty takes his kids on all-new crappy slapstick vacations? Won't Rusty's wife, certainly having heard, again and again, the tales of how Rusty's dad would epically mess up while traveling, come to bitterly resent her husband's inability to avoid the mistakes of his father? Won't it all feel depressingly fatalistic? Ah, well … have fun on your trip, new Griswolds.

Third design for Darkside clothing. Traditional Lucky Cat vs. western good luck theme.
Oh man this would be an awesome back for a guitar, and as a t-shirt I would most certainly buy this, I have that cat in plastic by the way
Thanks! I'm actually working on one more right now! I love them and apparently so do lots of other people haha!
OMG! i love this!! i'm getting a lucky cat on my thigh a little later this year!!! i love the colours!!!
I'm in love! I collect Lucky Cats as well as American Lady Luck stuff, so this is major eye-candy for me! Brilliant!

Just wanted to say "Thanks" for the super service. Last week I placed my first order with you, to be delivered to my granddaughter in Arkansas. Since I live in Oregon, I don't get to see her very often, but we share a love of crafting & she frequently asks me to send her supplies that her dad can't find in their small town, you can be sure that I'll be send her more from your site in the future! Thank you again for your exceptional service!
