US government fails on climate change
(07/26/2010) Not even intense international pressure, the BP oil spill, worsening floods, or the fact that the last six months have been the warmest on record globally was enough to push US climate legislation through the Senate. In the end the legislation died without a single Republican supporting it and a number of Democrats balking. Democratic Senate leader, Harry Reid, said they would continue to push climate legislation in the fall, but analysts say success then is unlikely given up-coming elections in November.
Endangered otter rediscovered in Borneo
(07/25/2010) The last time the hairy-nosed otter (Lutra sumatrana) was seen in Borneo it was road-kill, but researchers have now photographed a living individual of this elusive and endangered species. Photos were taken by camera trap in the Dermakot forest in Sabah, a state of Malaysian Borneo. While the last specimen known in Borneo was killed by a car in 1997, the species hasn't been found confirmed in Sabah for over a century.
Who's really accountable for the BP oil spill?
(07/25/2010) Reading articles in the newspapers recently and online, I find the media's focus is on scrutinizing BP's way of paying for the damage done when an estimated 76,934,000 gallons of their oil leaked out into the Gulf of Mexico after the explosion of their Deepwater Horizon rig in April. It is not that they are being criticised for not standing up and taking full responsibility for their recklessness that caused the spill, but instead they are being accused of not paying enough money for its clean-up. Taxpayers are outraged that they may pick-up the tab and are demanding to know why they should be held accountable when the disaster wasn't their fault. Yet, do we not all have a part to play in this catastrophe?
Scientists commend Indonesia for conservation measures, but urge immediate action on forests and peatlands
(07/23/2010) Scientists convening at the annual Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC) meeting in Sanur, Bali urged Indonesia's leaders to strengthen measures to protect the country's biologically-rich ecosystems. In a resolution issued on the final day of the five-day conference, ATBC commended Indonesia for recent moves to protect forests, including a pledge to cut illegal logging and a billion dollar partnership with Norway to reduce deforestation and forest degradation, but asked the government to immediately implement a planned moratorium on new forestry concessions on peatlands and primary forest lands.
Citibank's shark fin soup promotion draws ire, ends early
(07/22/2010) Citibank Hong Kong has canceled its promotion of shark fin soup after activists cried foul, according to the New York Times. The branch had offered Citibank card holders 15 percent off a shark fin soup dinner at Maxim's Chinese Cuisine for the month of July.
New NASA image reveals the oceans' dead zones
(07/22/2010) A new image by NASA reveals the extent of the world's marine dead zones, which a study in 2008 found were doubling every decade. At that time 415 dead zones had been identified worldwide. Dead zones are regions of the ocean where dissolved oxygen has fallen to such low levels that most marine species can no longer survive. Such conditions are often seasonal.
The growing impacts of China's oil spill
(07/22/2010) Two oil pipelines exploded Friday in the Chinese province of Liaoning beginning China's worst oil spill; nearly a week later 400,000 gallons of oil have spread over 166 square miles, according to China's state media. The pipeline has since been fixed and is operating again. While the spill is small compared to the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico—which currently covers nearly 3,000 square miles with approximately 100 to 200 million gallons of oil—its impact regionally will likely be very large.
Captive orangutans: enriching bodies, minds, and lives
(07/22/2010) Visitors to the Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ) are always delighted by the sight of playful young orangutans. Hairy orange youngsters swinging through the branches or tossing balls around always induce fits of cooing and camera clicking. These activities appear to be so natural that it is easy to forget these are orphans in rehabilitation school and one of the main classes is Enrichment. The term enrichment has become a catchword in the world of captive animal husbandry in the past few years and for many organizations, enrichment has become a new focus as more and more research reveals how critical enrichment is to the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing of captive animals.
How Greenpeace changes big business
(07/22/2010) Tropical deforestation claimed roughly 13 million hectares of forest per year during the first half of this decade, about the same rate of loss as the 1990s. But while the overall numbers have remained relatively constant, they mask a transition of great significance: a shift from poverty-driven to industry-driven deforestation and geographic consolidation of where deforestation occurs. These changes have important implications for efforts to protect the world's remaining tropical forests in that environmental groups now have identifiable targets that may be more responsive to pressure on environmental concerns than tens of millions of impoverished rural farmers. In other words, activists have more leverage than ever to impact corporate behavior as it relates to deforestation. A prime example of this power is evident in a string of successful Greenpeace campaigns, which have targeted some of the largest drivers of deforestation, including the palm oil industry in Indonesia and Malaysia and the soy and cattle industries in the Brazilian Amazon. The campaigns have shared a common approach: target large, conspicuous consumer-facing companies that sell in western markets.
Coral reefs doomed by climate change
(07/22/2010) The world's coral reefs are in great danger from dual threats of rising temperatures and ocean acidification, Charlie Veron, Former Chief Scientist of the Australian Institute of Marine Science, told scientists attending the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation meeting in Sanur, Bali. Tracing the geological history of coral reefs over hundreds of millions of years, Veron said reefs lead a boom-and-bust existence, which appears to be correlated with atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. With CO2 emissions rising sharply from human activities, reefs—which are home to perhaps a quarter of marine species and provide critical protection for coastlines—are poised for a 'bust' on a scale unlike anything seen in tens of millions of years.
Scientists sound warning on forest carbon payment scheme
(07/22/2010) Scientists convening in Bali expressed a range of concerns over a proposed mechanism for mitigating climate change through forest conservation, but some remained hopeful the idea could deliver long-term protection to forests, ease the transition to a low-carbon economy, and generate benefits to forest-dependent people.
Indonesia's forests are a global heritage, says VP
(07/21/2010) The vice president of Indonesia on Wednesday urged scientists and the broader international community to help Indonesia find a balance between conservation and natural resource use.
Wildlife trafficking hubs identified in Indonesia
(07/21/2010) The bulk of illegally traded wildlife moves through two "triangles" that span the Indonesian archipelago, an ecologist told scientists attending a meeting convened in Sanur, Bali by the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation.
Activist against illegal mining shot dead in India
(07/21/2010) On July 20th two unidentified men rode up to Amit Jethwa on a motorcycyle as he was coming out of his office in Ahmedabad and shot him dead at point blank range. Jethwa had recently filed a petition against illegal logging in the Gir Forest, the last home of the Asiatic lion, a subspecies of the African lion listed as Endangered by the IUCN Red List.
Amazing reefs: how corals 'hear', an interview with Steve Simpson
(07/21/2010) Corals aggregate to form vast reefs, which are home to numerous species and provide vital ecological services such as protecting shorelines. However, coral reefs are one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world due to many factors, such as global warming and ocean acidification. Recent research by Simpson and his team of scientists has shown that corals, rather than drifting aimlessly after being released by their parent colonies and by chance landing back on reefs, instead find their way purposefully to reefs by detecting the sound of snapping shrimps and grunting fish on the reef. However, that discovery also means that the larvae might struggle to find reefs when human noises, like drilling or boats, mask the natural ocean sounds.
Ethiopian government says it has tripled forest cover in a decade
(07/21/2010) Known abroad for past images of drought and starvation, the African nation of Ethiopia has announced that it has tripled forest cover from 3 percent in 2000 to 9 percent today, according to the AFP.
June was the 304th month in a row above average temperatures
(07/20/2010) Data released from the US's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Climatic Data Center shows that June 2010 was a record breaker. It was the warmest month of June globally since record-taking began in 1880 and it is the 304th month in a row that has been above the 20th Century average. The last month to fall below the average was February 1985: the month Nelson Mandela, who recently celebrated his 92nd birthday, rejected an offer of freedom from the then apartheid government.
Following public outcry, New Zealand drops plan to mine protected areas
(07/20/2010) The New Zealand government has caved to public pressure, announcing that it is dropping all plans to mine in protected areas. The plan to open 7,000 hectares of protected areas to mining would have threatened a number of rare and endemic species, including two frogs that are prehistoric relics virtually unchanged from amphibian fossils 150 million years old: Archey's frog (Leiopelma archeyi) and Hochstetter's frog (Leiopelma hochstetteri).
Mahogany market in US threatening the lives of uncontacted natives in the Amazon
(07/20/2010) Consumers in the US purchasing mahogany furniture may be unwittingly supporting illegal logging in a Peruvian reserve for uncontacted indigenous tribes, imperiling the indigenous peoples' lives. A new report by the Upper Amazon Conservancy (UAC) provides evidence that loggers are illegally felling mahogany trees in the Murunahua Reserve where it is estimated some 200 uncontacted natives live.
30 frog species, including 5 unknown to science, killed off by amphibian plague in Panama
(07/19/2010) With advanced genetic techniques, researchers have drawn a picture of just how devastating the currently extinction crisis for the world's amphibians has become in a new study published in the Proceedings of the Nation Academy of Sciences (PNAS). Studying frog populations using DNA barcoding in Panama's Omar Torrijos National Park located in El Copé researchers found that 25 known species and 5 unknown species have vanished since 1998. None have returned.
Oil disaster threatens Gulf of Mexico's deep water titans
(07/19/2010) As I discovered in the course of researching my book, No Rain in the Amazon: How South America's Climate Change Affects the Entire Planet (Palgrave, 2010), the oil industry has had a poor record when it comes to protecting aquatic sea life. Take for example the manatee, which has been put at risk from the Amazon to the Gulf of Mexico as a result of the oil industry. One of the most outlandish creatures on the planet, the shy and retiring manatee, which gets its name from an American Indian word meaning "Lady of the Water," was first described as a cross between a seal and hippo. The creature has a wonderfully round body, mostly black skin the texture of vinyl, a bright pink belly, a diamond-shaped tail and a cleft lip.
Australian mammals in steady decline even in large National Park
(07/19/2010) Kakadu National Park, one of the Australia's "largest and best-resourced" protected areas, is experiencing a staggering decline in its small mammal population, according to a new study published in Wildlife Research. Spanning nearly 2 million hectares—larger than Fiji—the park lies in tropical northern Australia. 'This decline is catastrophic,' John Woinarski, lead author of the study and expert on Australian mammals, told mongabay.com. 'We know of no comparable case in the world of such rapid and severe decline of a large proportion of native species in a large conservation reserve.'
Rare primate photographed for the first time
(07/18/2010) The Horton Plains slender loris (Loris tardigradus nycticeboides, thought extinct by researchers for over six decades, has finally posed for a photograph. This small nocturnal primate lives in the surviving montane tropical forest of Sri Lanka. The species was photographed during a recent expedition by the Zoological Society of London (ZSL)'s EDGE program in conjunction with Sri Lankan researchers.
A fifth of the world's mangroves gone in 30 years
(07/18/2010) A new report by the United Nation Environment Program (UNEP) and the Nature Conservancy has found that mangrove forests are being lost at staggering rates worldwide: since 1980 one fifth of the world's mangroves have been felled.
Illegal logging declining worldwide, but still 'major problem'
(07/15/2010) A new report by the Chatham House finds that illegal logging in tropical forest nation is primarily on the decline, providing evidence that new laws and international efforts on the issue are having a positive impact. According to the report, the total global production of illegal timber has fallen by 22 percent since 2002. Yet the report also finds that nations—both producers and consumers—have a long way to go before illegal logging is an issue of the past.
China seizes over 2,000 illegally trafficked pangolins
(07/14/2010) Boarding a suspect fishing vessel in the early morning of June 6th, Chinese customs officials discovered 2,090 frozen pangolins and 92 cases of pangolin scales, weighing an astounding 3,960 pounds. Manned by five Chinese and one Malaysian national, the boat was awaiting instructions via satellite phone as to where to meet another ship to transfer the illegal cargo while still at sea.
Arctic ice hits lowest record for June
(07/14/2010) In June the average sea ice extent in the Arctic was the lowest on record for that month, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). Measured by satellites, the seasonal movements of Arctic ice have been tracked since 1979 with a dramatic decline seen over the last 30 years. This decline is linked by climatologists to climate change.
Large-scale forest destruction in Sumatra undermines Indonesia's deal with Norway
(07/13/2010) While the Indonesian government basks in a recent agreement with Norway to slow deforestation to the tune of a billion US dollars, a new report by Eyes on the Forest shows photographic evidence of largely government sanctioned deforestation that flouts several Indonesia laws. Potentially embarrassing, the report and photos reveal that two companies, Asian Pulp and Paper (APP) and Asia Pacific Resource International (APRIL), have destroyed 5 percent of Riau province's forests since 2009, including deep peatlands, high conservation value forests (HCVF), Critically Endangered Sumatran tiger habitat, and forest within the Giam Siak Kecil- Bukit Batu UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. In total, over 130,000 hectares (an area larger than Hong Kong) of mostly peat forest were destroyed for pulp.
Dangerous and exploitative: a look at pet wild cats
(07/13/2010) From bobcats, lynx, and pumas to the thousands of lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, and little wildcats living in captive environments, the WildCat Conservation Legal Aid Society is solely devoted to ending the commercial exploitation of all wildcats. Its primary objectives are to drastically reduce and subsequently eliminate the private ownership of wildcats as pets; wildcats held in roadside zoos and pseudo-sanctuaries; using wildcats for entertainment purposes; as well as hunting, trafficking, and trade of wildcats. Lisa Tekancic is an attorney in Washington, DC and founder and president of WildCat Conservation Legal Aid Society. Their mission is to protect and defend all native and non-native wildcats. Lisa is an active member of the DC Bar's Animal Law Committee and has organized and moderated two legal conferences: 'Trafficking, Trade, and Transport of Wildlife,' and 'Wildlife and the Law.' She presented a paper on the methodology of 'Animal Ethics Committee' for the International Conference on Environmental Enrichment, and for four years was volunteer staff at the National Zoological Park's, Cheetah Station.
Paying for nature: putting a price on 'ecosystem services'
(07/12/2010) Ever since humans entered the stage, nature has been providing us with a wide-variety of essential and 'free' services: food production, pollination, soil health, water filtration, and carbon sequestration to name a few. Experts have come to call these 'ecosystem services'. Such services, although vital for an inhabitable planet, have largely gone undervalued in the industrial age, at least officially. Yet as environmental crises pile one on another across the world, a growing number of scientists, economists, environmentalists, and policy-makers are beginning to consider putting a monetary value on 'ecosystem services'.
UK's Royal Society to undertake 'comprehensive review' of population growth
(07/12/2010) The UK's Royal Society has announced that it will begin a major study into the impacts of human population. A largely taboo topic for decades, the Royal Society wants to provide a 'comprehensive review of the science' of population growth, according to a press release. The study, due in 2012, will focus especially on sustainable development in the face of population growth.
Conservation photography: on shooting and saving the world's largest temperate rainforest, an interview with Amy Gulick
(07/11/2010) Most of the US's large ecosystems are but shadows of their former selves. The old-growth deciduous forests that once covered nearly all of the east and mid-west continental US are gone, reduced to a few fragmented patches that are still being lost. The tall grassy plains that once stretched further than any eye could see have been almost wholly replaced by agriculture and increasing suburbs. Habitats, from deserts to western forests, are largely carved by roads and under heavy impact from resource exploitation to invasive species. Coastal marine systems, once super abundant, have partially collapsed in many places due to overfishing, as well as pollution and development. Despite this, there are still places in the US where the 'wild' in wilderness remains largely true, and one of those is the Tongass temperate rainforest of Southeast Alaska.
Controversial changes to Brazilian forest law passes first barrier
(07/08/2010) An amendment to undermine protections in Brazil's 1965 forestry code has passed it first legislative barrier, reports the World Wide Fund for Nature-Brasil (WWF). Yesterday the amendment passed a special vote in the Congress's Special Committee on Forest Law Changes.
With 'psychological cunning' wild cat lures monkeys by mimicking their babies' calls
(07/08/2010) It sounds like something out of a fairy-tale: the big bad predator lures its gullible prey by mimicking a loved one: 'why grandma, what big teeth you have!' But in this case it's the shocking strategy of one little-known jungle feline. In 2005 researchers with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) were watching a group of eight pied tamarins ( Saguinus bicolor), squirrel-sized monkeys, feeding on a ficus tree in the Reserva Florestal Adolpho Ducke in Brazil. They then heard the sound of tamarin babies, but were surprised to see that the sound was not coming from young tamarins, but a hungry margay (Leopardus wiedii), a small cat native to Central and South America, which was hidden from the tamarins.
Road through the Serengeti will eventually 'kill the migration'
(07/08/2010) Tourists, conservationists, individuals, and tour companies have launched an international outcry against the Tanzanian authorities in response to the announcement of the planned construction of the trans-Serengeti Highway highway. There is even a Facebook group and an online petition with 5,038 signatures. But the government has responded by saying that the plans are still on course.
Top officials busted in Amazon logging raids, but political patronage may set them free
(07/08/2010) After two years of investigations, the Brazilian Federal Police arrested some of the most important politicians and authorities for illegal logging in the Amazon. Code-named Operation Jurupari, the Brazilian Federal Police uncovered a massive illegal logging scheme that resulted in the arrests of over 90 people and caused an estimated $500 million in damage to the Amazon rainforest. Over 496 square kilometers (192 square miles), an area the size of California or Spain, were affected and an estimated 1.5 million cubic meters (642 million board feet) of timber was illegally extracted. While the investigation focused on activities in the state of Mato Grosso, which is located in the southern Amazon and is one of the most deforested regions largely due to clearing land for expanding soya farms, it touched numerous others, including São Paulo, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Espirito Santo, Minas Gerais and Distrito Federal.
The changing nature of illegal logging - and illegal logging investigations - in Brazil's Amazon
(07/08/2010) Operation Jurupari followed on several previous Brazilian Federal Police investigations into SEMA, including: Operation Curupira I (June 2005); Curupira II (August 2005); Mapinguari (2007), Arc of Fire (2008), Termes (April 2008); and Caipora (2008). It was led by Franco Perazzoni, Brazilian Federal Police "Delegado" (or chief), who, since 2006, has headed the environmental crimes unit in Mato Grosso and been responsible for about 300 investigations on environmental crimes, of which about 75% were on illegal deforestation in federal areas. The nature of the illegal deforestation has changed over the years.
Amazon soy moratorium extended
(07/08/2010) Brazilian soy farmers have extended their moratorium on Amazon deforestation for another year, reports Greenpeace.
Goodbye to the Gulf: oil disaster hits region's 'primary production'
(07/08/2010) According to a new analysis by the World Resources Institute (WRI), the many ecosystem services provided by the Gulf of Mexico will be severely impacted by BP's giant oil spill. 'Ecosystem services' are the name given by scientists and experts to free benefits provided by intact ecosystems, for example pollination or clean water. In the Gulf of Mexico, such environmental benefits maintain marine food production, storm buffers, tourism, and carbon sequestration, but one of the most important of marine ecosystem services is known as 'primary production'.
Walmart fires back at Greenpeace over deforestation charges
(07/07/2010) Walmart on Wednesday fired back at Greenpeace after the activist group linked the retail giant to destruction of Indonesia's rainforests through its purchases from Sinar Mas Group's Asia Pulp & Paper (APP), a Singapore-based firm associated with destructive logging practices. Noting that it was already working with Greenpeace to eliminate deforestation from its supply chain, the world's largest retailer said it "does not support deforestation" and does not source from APP for its "largest markets." Walmart said it was "surprised" Greenpeace targeted it in a recent press release announcing a new report.
Spotted uncontacted native flees, leaving dinner and dish behind
(07/07/2010) The man had set up camp and was preparing to cook live turtles for a meal when he was seen by people he did not know. He hid behind a tree and then fled from the camp into the forest, abandoning his uncooked turtles and a clay pot behind.
Violence a part of the illegal timber trade, says kidnapped activist
(07/07/2010) The European parliament made a historical move today when it voted overwhelmingly to ban illegal timber from its markets. For activists worldwide the ban on illegal timber in the EU is a reason to celebrate, but for one activist, Faith Doherty of the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA), the move has special resonance. In early 2000, Doherty and an Indonesian colleague were kidnapped, beaten, and threatened with a gun by illegal loggers in Indonesian Borneo.
Europe bars illegal timber from markets
(07/07/2010) The European Parliament today voted overwhelming to bar illegally logged timber from E.U. markets. The legislation, which passed 644-25, will require all companies selling timber products in the E.U. to prove their wood is legally sourced. Companies that fail to demonstrate credible sourcing practices will be subject to fines. The rules will go into effect in 2012, but paper products will be exempted for five years.
Forest loss in India likely worse than conventionally believed
(07/06/2010) Researchers have questioned 2009 findings by the Forest Survey of India (FSI) that found that India's forests were, unlike many tropical Asian nations', on the rebound. According to the FSI, Indian forests had grown by almost five percent from the 1990s. Yet, were these finding too good to be true?
Forgotten species: the cryptic Jerdon's courser
(07/06/2010) According to my Oxford English Dictionary, 'cryptic' means: 'secret, mystical; mysterious; obscure in meaning; enigmatic'. This is the perfect adjective for the rare Indian bird, Jerdon's courser (Rhinoptilus bitorquatus). 'It is not so easy to spot as it is a small bird and when you show the torch it crouches and merges with the surroundings. So we need very good trained eyes to look for them,' Dr. P. Jeganathan recently told mongabay.com.
KFC, Walmart contributing to destruction of Indonesia's rainforests, endangering orangutans
(07/05/2010) Major U.S. companies are contributing to the destruction of Indonesia's rainforests by sourcing paper from Asia Pulp and Paper (APP), a subsidiary of Indonesia-based conglomerate Sinar Mas, alleges a new report from Greenpeace. Investigating two sites on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, the activist group documented destruction of rainforests and carbon-dense peatlands by APP, a company that has lost several major contacts in recent years due to its poor environmental record. Greenpeace called out Walmart, Auchan, and Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) as companies that continue to buy from APP despite its role in deforestation and peatlands degradation.
In the midst of marine collapse will we save our last ocean?
(07/05/2010) Imagine an ocean untouched by oil spills: a sea free of pollution, invasive species, dead zones, and over-exploitation; waters where marine animals exist in natural abundance and play ecological roles undimmed by mankind. Such a place may sound impossible in today's largely depleted oceans, but it exists: only discovered in 1841, the Ross Sea spreads over nearly a million kilometers adjacent to the Antarctic continent. Here killer whales, penguins, sea birds, whales, and giant fish all thrive. However, even with its status as the world's 'last ocean', the Ross Sea has not escaped human impact. Over the last 15 years commercial fisheries have begun to catch one of its most important species in the ecosystem to serve them up on the dinner plates of the wealthy.
Elle MacPherson promotes consumption of illegal rhino horn [warning: graphic image]
(07/02/2010) Despite a number of scientific studies showing that rhino horn has no curative properties, supermodel, entrepreneur, and recent host of Britain's Next Top Model, Elle Macpherson, says she ingests powdered rhino horn because: '[it] works for me'. In an interview with The Sunday Times via Twitter, Elle Macpherson says the illegal substance tastes like 'crushed bone and fungus'.
US pledges 136 million dollars to the environment in Indonesia
(07/01/2010) The US has pledged $136 million to environment and climate change initiatives in Indonesia over the next three years reports Reuters. Earlier in the year, Norway pledged over seven times the US amount (one billion US dollars) to fight deforestation in the Southeast Asian country.
Amazon and Atlantic Forest under threat: politicians press to dilute Brazil's forestry law
(07/01/2010) A group of Brazilian legislatures, known as the 'ruralistas', are working to change important aspects of the Brazil's landmark 1965 forestry code, undermining forest protection in the Amazon and the Mata Atlantica (also known as the Atlantic Forest) and perhaps heralding a new era of booming deforestation. The ruralistas, linked to big agribusiness and landowners, are taking aim at the part of the forestry code that requires landowners in the Amazon to retain 80 percent of their land area as legal reserves, arguing that the law threatens agricultural development.

At age 45 Robbie Marshall had it all, or so it seemed. He had been married, had two children, and built up a successful advertising agency. So what on earth made him trade his suit for leathers, his office for the saddle of a great motorcycle, and his bulging appointment book for an out-of-date world atlas? The prospect of a new challenge held such overwhelming appeal that he was prepared to risk it all-his hard won career, the trappings of wealth, and the love of a good woman-for life on the road and a lifestyle completely removed from anything he had known before. And so he shook hands with his business partner, kissed his girlfriend goodbye, and rode off into the unknown. Over the course of this double or nothing adventure he came face to face with his own ignorance, enormous danger, and wracking loneliness as well as some of the best that human nature has to offer.

Marketplace Tech Report for Monday, October 22, 2012
Episode Teaser Image
Episode Description
Boy, could we make a lot of money if we knew who was going win the election in two weeks. All this technology, all of this fearsome data crunching power, you'd think our predictions would be getting better. Nate Silver, who runs the New York Times political blog Five Thirty Eight, says that all the new technology we have at our fingertips doesn't guarentee better predictions. Turns out our computers often help us make bad political predictions more quickly.

Green Living Research Guide Leave a comment
The library is "Going Green" with our National Library Week festivities, thinking of ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle. We're selling all of our withdrawn books and audiovisual material in the book sale next week, holding a recycled book contest for people to be creative with old and seemingly unusable books, collecting paper to be recycled and binding them into notepads, etc. We've also put together a Green Living research guide to help you live a greener life.
In the Green Living research guide, you'll find information about reference books, electronic books, and regular books on sustainable living, green architecture, and the environment, among other topics. You can also see the audiovisual materials we own on green living, as well as streaming media through databases like Films on Demand (that you can use to view streaming films on your computer at home). The Green Living research guide also lists a wide variety of websites that might be of interst, and can start you on your way to thinking about ways you can live more green.
New Sci Fi Research Guide Leave a comment
For all you science fiction lovers out there, the library has just released a new research guide for your browsing pleasure.

There's info on finding books, media, author biographies, websites, and even MLA citation help if you so need it.
If you find something that peaks your interest and need help finding it, stop by the Reference Desk– we're here to help.

New Research Guide on the Beat Generation Leave a comment
If you haven't checked out the library's research guides, I'd highly recommend doing so. They give handy tips on how to find books, articles, and other resources at the library on a variety of topics. We even have research guides tailored to particular classes.
There's a new (as in hot off the presses) research guide on the ever popular Engl 102: The Beat Generation taught by Kurt Hemmer. Even if you're not taking the class, take a look at the research guide to check out the books, articles, and media we have on authors such as Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, and others.
And if you're interested, you can browse through the more than fifty other guides on topics ranging from chemistry to Martin Luther King, Jr. to psychology and more.

Alan Gerow, Mar 20th, 2009 @ 11:23amYet, in London, as soon as you drive into the city, your license place is photographed and run through image processors to find out who you are. The moment you enter the city the government has you on camera until you leave. They monitor 24/7/365, and want to expand their camera network. This is fine with people, but getting caught on camera once a couple months ago when they were standing in front of a place being photographed is a major problem that will ruin the world.
I trust private companies with that information infinitely more than I would ever trust a bureaucrat or police officer. Google wants to show people where things are ... the government wants to show people the inside of a jail cage. Or at least throw fines at them so they can justify the cost of putting up all those cameras in the first place.
Google has done more to protect my privacy than anyone else. They were the only US search engine that denied the federal government access to its logs without a court order, when Yahoo & Microsoft gave their logs upon a polite request. True, Google used the excuse that it would expose trade secrets, but they stood up to the government and its unreasonable expectations and demands.
I trust Google to know about me. I don't trust politicians to know about me.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]

Be Careful
If this dude challenges the legality of Street View and LOSES (which he most likely will) then that gives G00gle a legal precident to reference in future lawsuits.
It's pretty hard to make a legal case for or against Street View, because there's really never been anything like it before. Sure you could always drive around, take pictures, geotag them and post them on-line, but Google ads a whole new dimension to it by tying it right into the Maps behemoth.
I can understand people seeing this as invasive, but the question is really if it's a violation of someone's "legal" rights to privacy.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]
I looked at Google Maps yesterday. It was fun having a look around at the old streets I used to know in Derby and Nottingham before I moved out of the country, and seeing how they've changed since. It was also nice to show a few of the Greek, Spanish and German guys I currently work with what my old neighbourhoods actually looked like (grey skies in evidence, the main reason I always say I moved) and it's an incredibly useful tool to get a feel of how a place *really* looks and feels.
As for people being caught on camera, I have never understood peoples' objections to an undated photo of them in a public place that was perfectly visible to anyone driving in front or behind of Google's car. How it's a privacy violation is beyond me.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]

googe street view
I love google street view. Yesterday I was on a local message board for St. Louis, MO discussing good mexican restaurants. There is a restaurant on Cherokee street that I always go to but could not remember the name nor street address. No problem, took a virtual ride down Cherokee with google street view and read the name of the place off of the front awning.
I just don't understand how or why a person feels there is an invasion of privacy for anything visible from the street at street level? If you are parading naked before a window facing the street, whose fault is it when your picture gets snapped by the "street view" van?[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]

Privacy at stake!
People get mad when u take pictures of them on the street. It is a bit creepy. You should always ask for permission, ESPECIALLY if you plan to post them on the internet.
At least it isn't some douche who wants to get rich by suing Google. I see the legitimacy of his complaints, but they won't stick in court. Kudos for trying.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]
Steve L, Mar 20th, 2009 @ 12:57pmSomewhere along the line people got the idea that if a photo of you ends up somewhere on the internet, it automatically destroys your entire life. When in reality, no one cares about "Joe Smith" standing on a corner eating a hotdog with a stupid look on his face in Boise Idaho six months ago.
@Alan, agreed.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]

Or unless Joe Smith is Ghyslain Raza, and he goes through the rest of his life at school getting picked on for doing something silly he never thought would hit the internet.
Honestly the way people dig stupid humor, I think that pic of Joe Smith would probably get passed around and laughed at until eventually it got to someone who knew him![ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]

Home Buying
I live in San Diego and I'm looking to buy a house right now.
I use www.redfin.com to find listings
maps.live.com then click on Bird's eye to look at the neighborhood
maps.google.com then streetview to get better pictures of the house and neighboring houses
But street view can easilly be replaced if I drive by the house, and I do that anyway if I like what I see in street view because things like the yard could be dramatically different.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]
Alan Gerow, Mar 20th, 2009 @ 3:25pm
Re: Home Buying
What if you lived in Boston and were looking for a house in San Diego. Then you wouldn't have the luxury of being able to drive by it. Street View would be hard to be reliably replaced, since any photo coming from the owner or realtor could have old or doctored pictures.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]

It's a European thing. In private you have a right to privacy, so in public you have a right to publicy. These unauthorized photos are violating people's rights to publicy, that's all.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]

Google have nothing to lose from giving your details up. They only want to make money off you.
The government stands to lose power/money because we can vote them out.
Personally I think neither should have that kind of information, and its true that the government is far more dangerous with these things.
But I would rather that I had some say in what went on, as i have with government, than a company that can do whatever.[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]

so what does this guy do when say a bunch of tourist's start taking pictures of our wonderful old building just at the same time this dude walks past in the background & BAM he has been caught walking down oxford street
does he then track down these so called tourist's and take them to court as well?
when are people going to pull their collective heads out of their nose bag's & realize a PUBLIC PLACE IS A PUBLIC PLACE.
be it a passer by, cctv, snappy tourist's, beggars, blaggers, cops on push bikes, cops on foot, me, you & the whole world have the ability to see YOU in some form or another either directly or by proxy face it when you are in a public place weather you know it or not there is the possiblity you will get spotted/snapped/tracked/questioned/quized/glanced at/spoken too
Why don't this dude make better use of his time by lobbying against the fact that you now need government permission to protest![ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]
Very Annoyed, Mar 26th, 2009 @ 2:21am
For the last few years I have been able to use google earth as a tool to my working life and have found it excellent but I have just seen the google map street view and was astounded to be able to see into my elderly parents home and my sisters house including what type of doors, locks and other security devices they have fitted. I could even see what furniture and fittings they have. If people do not want there faces visible then fine, thats there perogative but i think that being able to look into someones house from the comfort of your pc should be made an illegal view to be able to show. By this I mean that google should place a pixellated overlay to everything except the bricks and mortar. Its an ideal opportunity for the unfortunate people who seem to disregard the materials in life that people have worked for and steal them causing numerous damages to property and the feelings of the victims. What would happen if I stood on a street and took photos of peoples houses to put on the intanet. Arrested?[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]
Daniel, Apr 23rd, 2009 @ 4:10pm
Very Annoyed, what about pictures used by real estate agents to sell homes? What about simply standing on the street and looking at a house? The camera logically can't capture anything you couldn't see just by standing outside and looking.
And at any rate, the ICO has taken the side of Google. More info at http://www.newsy.com/videos/privacy_in_the_age_of_google/[ reply to this | link to this | view in thread ]

Although the marine living resources are renewable, their unbridled exploitation causes irreparable loss to the habitat and the sustainable production of biota. Ever increasing population and demand for cheap fish protein together with the availability of a 8041 km long coast and more than 1,80,000 km2 shallow coastal area have attracted not only the traditional communities but also small-scale entrepreneurs into fishing. The last fifty years' growth of Indian marine fisheries is commendable, which has transformed a subsistence-oriented traditional fmheries into a market oriented commercial fisheries with the support of technical advancements in harvest and post harvest areas and also gained considerable strength and capabilities in landing, storage and processing infrastructure. The growing demand for prime value species of marine resources in domestic and export market has encouraged the commercial exploitation and production of target species

And actually just to be safe, we added a 4th one as well. We don't want you guys to ever have issues again, so keep reporting 'em if you see anything. The way we have modified the code, we can add servers to the mix within about 4 hours of noticing load issues. So even if we start to hit the upper limit, we'll be able to get 'er back on track pretty fast.
These four frontend servers are monsters though, so they should be able to handle the apocalypse.

Q: Where is the O'Reilly Family Event Center located?
The O'Reilly Family Event Center is located on the eastern edge of Drury University's Springfield campus. Our address is 935 N. Summit Avenue, Springfield, MO, 65802. We recommend using this address for GPS mapping to the center. See Directions & Parking for more information
Q: Where can I park for events?
The O'Reilly Family Event Center is pleased to offer our guests free parking for events. Guest parking lots are located on Summit Avenue on the northeastern side of the event center. Additional parking is located on Drury Lane on the southern side of the building if needed. See Directions & Parking for more information
Q: What kind of private events do you host?
The O'Reilly Family Event Center offers several options for private event and meeting space. We've hosted wedding receptions (ideal for weddings at Stone Chapel), corporate Christmas parties, sports banquets, meetings, and more. Our banquet rooms and outdoor plaza offer flexibility and amenities. For more information about private events at O'Reilly, please contact Morgan Prather at email@example.com or by phone at (417) 872-6316.
Q: What amenities do you offer for private bookings?
We offer use of our round banquet tables, black meeting chairs, projector, screen, microphone and speaker, and table linens from SB Bon (provided for wedding receptions only). We are a full service catering venue, which means all food and beverage can be provided by us, but you may bring in your own caterer. Be sure to look over our extensive catering menu.
Q: If I was a season ticket holder last year, will I be able to renew my tickets at the same price?
In some cases, yes. However, in other cases pricing may increase based on demand. Pricing in certain sections may also decrease, so you could actually receive a reduction in the cost of your tickets depending on the section where your seats are located.
Q: If I purchase tickets for only one team (i.e. Panthers only or Lady Panthers only, not both), will I have to leave my seat for doubleheaders?
Perhaps. If you purchase seats for only one program, Drury may sell your seat to a season ticket holder for the other program. This means that when your team plays the first game of a double header, there may be a ticket holder needing access to the same seat for the second game. However, if Drury does not sell this seat to another ticket holder for the other program, you may stay and watch the second game of the doubleheader at no additional cost.
Q: If I purchase seats for only one program, and my seat is sold to another ticket holder, can I stay to watch the second game of a doubleheader when my team plays first?
Yes. We do not clear the gym, so provided there is another seat available, you are welcome (and Drury encourages you) to stay to watch the other team play.
Q: I plan to purchase seats for only one program. When my team plays the second game of a doubleheader, can I arrive early and watch the remainder of the first game from my seats?
Yes. As long as your seat is unoccupied, you may use it to watch the other program. However, please be aware that there it is likely that another fan using the seat in which case you'll need to find another unoccupied seat.
Q: Is there an additional charge for aisle seating?
Yes, a $300 booster membership is required for the ability to purchase aisle seating. This fee is only charged one time even if multiple seats are purchased. Please remember the $300 booster fee is tax deductible and helps to support the operations of Drury Basketball (travel, summer school, etc).
Q: How do I get a parking pass?
Parking passes can be purchased when you buy your tickets, or any time up to the start of the season (subject to availability). This year, season ticket holders have 3 options for parking:
Q: Lair Membership. Who is eligible?
Q: Will the format for the Lair be the same as last season?
The Lair will be a different experience this year. It will feature interaction with the coaching staff before each game, multi-media integration and other surprises.
Q: Why purchase season tickets?
The price of walk-up tickets to Drury basketball games will vary by game (depending on the opponent), and in most cases will be offered at a significantly higher price than last year. So, season tickets will know that they are receiving a good value for their tickets per game. In addition, season ticket holders have the privilege to sit in the same seat for every game while also having the ability to purchase a dedicated parking pass and attend the Lair (opportunities not available to non-season ticket holders).
Q: For ticket holders who are handicapped or have mobility challenges, can seats be accesses through the northeast tunnel (where the teams enter the court)?
Yes. Simply notify anyone in the box office at the time your tickets are purchased, and a pass will be issued granting you access to your seats through the players tunnel for all games in the '11 – '12 season.

The Rosenberg Gallery is located in the lobby of the Kraushaar Auditorium, a 1,000 seat theater, and the 225-seat Merrick Hall. Art exhibits have been mounted here since 1962, and the gallery was renovated and renamed the Rosenberg Gallery in 1982, after Ruth Blaustein Rosenberg, Goucher Class of 1921. Operated under the auspices of Goucher's Art and Art History Department, the gallery presents five exhibits each academic year.
Shows are selected around a central theme or concept. On occasion, exhibits are presented in conjunction with some other activity on campus, such as a concert, performance, or symposium. Where appropriate, the gallery collaborates with other academic departments to present multi-disciplinary public programs. This is in keeping with the gallery's goal of expanding the audience for contemporary art and the philosophy that art is an enterprise connected to other areas of human inquiry and to the concerns of all people, not just to connoisseurs and specialists.
We are committed to exhibiting the work of artists who do not have the opportunity to have solo showings in commercial galleries in Baltimore, with a special interest in providing opportunities for artists who are women, members of ethnic or racial minorities, or who live in rural areas of Maryland.
The gallery frequently exhibits artists from other parts of our region alongside Baltimore-area artists to help bring these artistic communities closer together and to promote exchange of ideas and information. Artists using innovative and unfamiliar techniques and artists whose work addresses contemporary concerns, both aesthetically and in terms of content, are given a chance to reach a broader audience, and in turn, the audience is given a chance to expand its understanding and awareness of contemporary art. For students, the gallery activities are a component of a liberal education, providing a place to learn about contemporary art and meet working artists.
The Rosenberg Gallery program is funded with the assistance of grants from the Maryland State Arts Council, an agency funded by the State of Maryland and the NEA and the Baltimore County Commission on the Arts and Sciences.
Current Exhibit
Better Homes
This exhibit by Heather Boaz will be presented from Tuesday, January 20, to Sunday, March 29, 2015.
An artist's reception will be held Thursday, February 5 from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Rosenberg Art Gallery.
Gallery Hours
9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday - Sunday
The Rosenberg Gallery is free and open to the public.

The City has effectively managed the deployment of long-term projects, as defined in the previous IT strategic plan, as well as kept pace with the increasing user needs. In order to maintain the strategic momentum towards improved digital government services, the City, IT has re-engaged with eGov Consulting Services to update the IT Strategic Plan.
The updated plan describes:
A vision for information technology for the City for the next five years
The mission of the IT Department
The strategies and goals the IT Department will use to move the vision forward over the next five years
Specific initiatives/projects IT Department will undertake to achieve those strategies/goals.
This Plan was developed through a consensus process with City Management, IT Department's staff and IT Department's customers. The intent was to take a holistic, corporate view of information technology for the City, in order to better understand how the IT Department could best serve the City's needs.

Mechanisms underlying the programming of small artery dysfunction: review of the model using low protein diet in pregnancy in the rat
Brawley, L., Poston, L. and Hanson, M. A. (2003) Mechanisms underlying the programming of small artery dysfunction: review of the model using low protein diet in pregnancy in the rat. Archives of Physiology and Biochemistry, 111, (1), 23-35. (doi:10.1076/apab.188.8.131.5238).
Full text not available from this repository.
Human and animal studies have shown that unbalanced maternal nutrition is associated with the development of cardiovascular and metabolic disease in adulthood. In the Southampton maternal low protein model (SMLP), protein deprivation (50%) throughout pregnancy in rats leads to elevated blood pressure in adult offspring. Impaired peripheral arterial function may contribute to the cardiovascular dysfunction observed in these offspring. This review discusses the impact of such a dietary insult on the vascular function of resistance arteries from pregnant rats (pF 0 ), their offspring (F 1 ), the pregnant offspring (pF 1 ) and the second generation (F 2 ). At each stage, disturbances in endothelium-dependent relaxation were observed, implicating changes in endothelial nitric oxide (NO)-guanylate cyclase (GC) signalling pathway in the vascular adaptations to pregnancy and the programmed effects on offspring.

Appeals court lets state defund Planned Parenthood
Perry: 'A win for Texas women, our rule of law and our state's priority to protect life'
(CBS News) A federal appeals court ruled late Tuesday that Texas can cut off funding for Planned Parenthood clinics that provide health services to low-income women before a trial over a new law that bans state money from going to organizations tied to abortion providers.
The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans lifted a federal judge's temporary injunction that called for the funding to continue pending an October trial on Planned Parenthood's challenge to the law.
State officials sought to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood clinics that provide family planning and health services to poor women as part of the Texas Women's Health Program after the state's Republican-led Legislature passed a law banning funds to organizations linked to abortion providers. No state money goes to pay for abortions.

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
This practice by SEC is efficient and should also Be applied by european authorities. There is only an apparent contradiction: the guilty party pays, yet the compensation does not go to the victim. In my opinion a substantial part of the money should be returned to the medical care authorities of the country involved.
"A few more examples of such regulatory forbearance and perhaps business will get the message."
I know I did. Illegal acts which net hundreds of millions of dollars from China and other large nations through unscrupulous acts will cost you 60-70 million. It sounds more like a cost of doing business than good law enforcement.
Perhaps the next issue should be about US companies preying on illegal immigrants. Millions made by ignoring labor regulations and thousands worth of fines. Yea we got that under control also.
The choice of the words "the regulator will crow" implies subjectivity on the part of the writer. Can he or she be one of those extremists which flourish in the current pre-enlightenment mood of the Republican Party and its fringes? Does he or she find that state regulation of drug companies is ideologically distasteful? Writing from decadent over-regulated Europe, I'm left wondering after more than 20 years if it is worth continuing with my Economist subscription.
The next logical step for the regulator would be to expose the names and posts of those corrupt officials in the medical care administration who illegally profited from Pfizer's practices. Specifically, who was the Russian Deputy Health Minister whom Pfizer showered with perks in 2003? Dr. Onishchenko? Dishonishchenko, rather. The episode was mentioned in the American Government's report on Pfizer but the perpetrator's name was edited out of it.
Meanwhile, Dr. Onishchenko is still Deputy Health Minister responsible for sanitary control (equivalent of FDA Chief in the USA). Now he is waging a war on hamburgers as an un-Russian food. Is it time for Burger King to invite the good doctor to a 'conference' in Las Vegas?
Despite Foreign Corrupt Practices Act in USA, the pharmaceutical giants are brazenly indulging into such soft selling ideas is appalling.In developing world & in eastern block countries the nexus of doctors and pharmaceutical companies are well known and documented. Only thing that comes to mind is the willingness of these companies to pay the fine, tacitly it implies guilts but more importantly the quantum of fine seems very low & therefore, a willingness to settle it as fast as it can be so that no more worms creep out of the can.
