She is the vice-captain of the victorious Indian team
MADURAI: Playing for the country is an achievement for any player. Bringing laurels by winning the event is a greater achievement. Usilampatti-born S. Kavitha is one of the players to attain that glory. She was the vice-captain of the Indian team, which triumphed in the second Asian Women Kabaddi Championship at Teheran in Iran from October 16 to 21.
Kavitha, who is a police constable in Chennai, after India's victory in the six-nation championship, came to Madurai straight from Teheran on Monday. "I was born at Usilampatti and was selected to lead Tamil Nadu team at the National Championship in Chittoor in 2006," she said.
"Our team played five matches in a round robin league and we won all of them easily. There was no opposition at all from any of the teams, excepting Iran, which we won at 36-8 ," said Kavitha.
She was accorded a rousing reception at the Madurai railway station by top officials of the city, including Collector S.S. Jawahar, Commissioner of Police, K. Nandabalan, Mayor Thenmozhi and members of Tamil Nadu State Amateur Kabaddi Association and the Madurai District Amateur Kabaddi Association officials. She was felicitated by E.M.G. Yadava Women's College, where she inaugurated a newly-laid kabaddi court on Tuesday.
Kavitha comes from a poor family. She is the youngest among four sisters. She studied at I.H.M. School, Chennai, and started playing kabaddi at the age of 13. She became a good player in school and then at Quaid-e-Milleth College, where she got her B.A. (Economics), and became a matured player, before joining the Tamil Nadu police, as a constable, in February 2005.
She thanked the Police Department and the Kabaddi Association, who gave good encouragement to her for rising to this level. "To lead the country in Asian and international championships and to get the Arjuna Award is my ambition," said Kavitha.

Smart Spaces
Apr.–June 2015
Physical spaces are packed with opportunities, complexities, and of course, people. Many business and social opportunities are missed, and complexities can highly degrade people's experiences in these spaces. Pervasive computing has yet to be widely exploited in physical spaces in the same way that the ubiquitous Web and smartphones have been exploited--effectively revolutionizing the way we interact with others, work, and conduct our daily lives. With the advent of the Internet of Things as a major force of change in industry and the rise of wearable computing for consumers, the time is right for revisiting the notion of a smart space. The articles in this special issue consider new technologies and approaches for developing pervasive smart spaces. Read article »

The Mahogany Glider (Petaurus gracilis), which is named for its mahogany-brown color, is a highly endangered possum. They are very similar in appearance to both the smaller sized Sugar Glider and Squirrel Glider. The Mahogany Glider is restricted to a very small area, between Ingham and Tully in North Queensland, Australia. The reason for the Mahogany Glider being one of Australia's most threatened species is loss of habitat. About 80% of habitat having been cleared for the growing of...

City officials are set to discuss a stormwater measure Tuesday that would levy a new tax against most L.A. County residents.
The fee doesn't have a purpose or direction, but it could mean thousands of dollars for nonprofits, businesses and even multi-family homes, a county official said Friday.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
"The fee is coming down as a result of the (water quality) standards," said Edel Vizcarra, planning deputy for Supervisor Michael Antonovich, who repeatedly has warned residents of the "fee" that has been suggested by the Los Angeles County Flood Control District.
"What the district is telling us is that there are high levels of pollutants and metals in the water," Vizcarra said. "But it's very difficult to point to one area — (Antonovich) feels that it's a state issue, not a local issue."
Santa Clarita City Council members are set to discuss the fee, which Councilwoman Marsha McLean equated to "double taxation," at Tuesday's meeting.
Los Angeles city and county collectively spends approximately $300 million each year to stay in compliance with state water standards that have become increasingly more stringent each year, according to county officials.
One of the bigger issues with the fee, which Antonovich says is actually a tax, is that the flood district hasn't identified what the revenue would pay for, Vizcarra said.
"We don't even know what is going to be built yet," he said. "We haven't identified any of the projects, yet we'd be taxing people for something that may or may not occur."
Due to procedures set in place by Proposition 218, a majority of 2.2 million affected – 1.1 million residents plus one, according to Vizcarra — would need to protest the fine in order to stop the fee, an unlikely scenario despite the problems associated with it.
If this doesn't occur by Jan. 15 when a hearing is scheduled, then residents would likely see the fee on a mail-in ballot in March, Vizcarra said. That would be the last chance residents would have to stop the fee, which could then also be passed by a simple majority.
While the fee places a cap on single-family residences, schools and nonprofits are not exempt. Phyllis Ishisaka, superintendent of Glendale Unified, which is considered a smaller district, expressed concern that the fee collectively would cost her schools about $250,000.
A church estimated its cost at about $4,000, and big-lot stores such as Target or Costco could be hit with fees that would cost around $11,000 to $12,000, Vizcarra said.
The supervisor has asked for time for alternatives, but in the meantime, the City Council is expected to direct staff to file a protest on behalf of all properties owned in the city.
"One of the things (we're looking at is) that maybe there's a way to find one-time money so that people don't have to be taxed," Vizcarra said. "But we don't know what the project is. And when you have environmental groups taking issue with taxes for environmental purposes, then you know there's a problem."

Rated 2 out of 5 by Nashr Not a good one Item arrived safely as promised but not as expected. One of the tips of the edge part was broken and some of the gates and the racks were not straight (you have to bend it with your hands to get it fixed), maybe because the material used to make the product was soft. The whole airer could not suppport stuffs that well and not that freestanding, need to put near/against the wall for support (if it were to collapse). 19 March 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jals1127 does the job very flimsy not as sturdy as i thought it would be the width between the gate could do with being wider you can only get one item of clothing on each bar not recommended if you have lots of washing to air so i bought two airers i have now got the extra drying space that i needed 11 December 2012

Taser in the MPS
All 32 London boroughs now have a group of officers on their borough who are trained in the use of Taser. Every use of Taser is reported and scrutinised and officers are individually accountable under the law for the level of force they use.
Which MPS officers have Tasers?
Taser was initially issued to officers from SCO19 (Firearms Command) as a less lethal option in 2004. Just over 2000 officers from the Met's Firearms commands are trained and equipped to use Taser.
As part of a national government pilot in 2007 Taser was issued to officers from the Territorial Support Group, a specialist unit, trained to the highest level in public order and who respond to violent incidents. There are currently over 400 officers from the Territorial Support Group trained in the use of Taser.
In 2012 the Commissioner instigated a programme to provide a Taser response on every London borough. Around forty officers from each borough have been trained in the use of Taser. The initial training is now complete. Taser trained officers are deployed in pairs in two cars on each borough, that's a maximum of 4 officers per 8 hour shift over a 24 hour period.

It's time to kick-off a sporting extravaganza that dwarfs even the mighty Olympics. Between the starting whistle in the wee hours of Friday to the final whistle a month later, the world will be glued to watching 32 countries contest in Brazil for the biggest honour in the beautiful game – the FIFA World Cup.
After an expected carnival-like opening to the Cup, overwhelming favourites and hosts Brazil take on underdogs, Croatia.
Usually known for their free-flowing and attacking football, this time, however, the Selecao are also going on the defensive. A team official said he believes Brazil can win the 'hexacampeonato', a sixth World Cup, because they have the best defence with Paris Saint-Germain duo of Thiago Silva and David Luiz acting as guards.
There is no doubt, however, that much of the burden will be borne by the unflappable young shoulders of Neymar. Playing in his first World he will be competing for spotlight with the likes of Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentina's Lionel Messi.
Croatia's midfield boasts of talents like Luka Modric of Real Madrid and Ivan Rakitic of Sevilla and it will not make it any easier for Brazil.
For the average Brazilian, football is their biggest dream. For the next month, the world will also live this dream.

U.S. and Canada
Adventurous new writing from young American playwrights, the importation to Broadway of a sensationally reconceived British staging of the musical Cabaret, and the arrival of promising, even visionary, new leadership at several major regional theatres were the highlights of an otherwise sketchy year in American theatre. Economically and artistically, 1998 was dominated by works that had debuted in 1997; on Broadway Disney's The Lion King and Livent's Ragtime held sway, and throughout the country Paula Vogel's provocative, Pulitzer-winning drama How I Learned to Drive became far and away the most-produced play of the year.
The critical attention afforded new works by such fledgling writers as Diana Son, Robert O'Hara, W. David Hancock, Kenneth Lonergan, Margaret Edson, and Warren Leight was the year's most promising sign, an indication that these next-generation playwrights had both significant messages to deliver and the sophistication to shape their medium inventively. Son's Stop Kiss, a seriocomic play about the blossoming romance between two women and a random act of violence that tragically interrupts it, opened late in the year at New York City's Public Theater to admiring notices and sold-out houses. O'Hara's Insurrection: Holding History, a free-form, time-tripping examination of slavery and its legacy, generated enthusiasm and controversy at San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre. Experimentalist Hancock garnered awards and a virtual cult following in several cities for his menacing and poignant environmental works The Convention of Cartography and The Race of the Ark Tattoo.
Lonergan's This Is Our Youth, a sly, acerbic study of rudderless adolescents mounted by New York's New Group, was a dark-horse success Off-Broadway. Edson, a first-grade teacher from Atlanta, Ga., writing her first play, scored critically and commercially with Wit, an unlikely drama about a John Donne scholar dying of cancer (a breakthrough role for actress Kathleen Chalfant). Leight won kudos for the richly detailed memory play Side Man, about the dissolution of a family in the post-big-band era 1950s.
By contrast, better-known American playwrights turned out few works of note, and the New York theatre reached out for serious mainstream dramas to a dependable source from England, the recently knighted Sir David Hare, and a freshly celebrated (some would say notorious) one from Ireland, 27-year-old bad-boy dramatist Martin McDonagh. Hare, who had famously sworn off Broadway a decade ago following an angry set-to with then New York Times critic Frank Rich, was nevertheless represented there by back-to-back commercial successes--The Judas Kiss, a portrait of Oscar Wilde in decline featuring a game but miscast Liam Neeson in the leading role, and The Blue Room, a sexually frank reworking of Arthur Schnitzler's La Ronde starring film actress Nicole Kidman. Neither play was up to the level of last season's Skylight, but the combination of celebrity wattage and sensationalism (Kidman and her Blue Room costar Iain Glen appeared briefly nude) assured an active box office.
The first two plays in Martin McDonagh's trilogy, set in Leenane, a backwater village in the west of Ireland, were imported to New York with great fanfare, much of it focusing on the dashing, argumentative young writer whose idea of theatre was, in his words, a "punk destruction of what's gone on before." Such aspirations notwithstanding, The Cripple of Inishmaan, a large-cast drama mounted in an uneven production at the Public Theater, and The Beauty Queen of Leenane, a tauter, funnier, and more sinister work handled with great delicacy by director Garry Hynes in an Atlantic Theatre Company production that moved to Broadway, proved straightforward, even conventional, in form. McDonagh, like his literary predecessors John Millington Synge and William Butler Yeats, made adept use of literary language and a strong narrative drive--even as he pessimistically surveyed the shattered fragments of Irish society riven by internal conflict and the pressures of modernity. In addition to acting awards for three of its principals, Beauty Queen earned Hines, head of Ireland's Druid Theatre, the first-ever Tony award to go to a female director.
That history-making moment at the June 7 Tony ceremony was followed in short order by a second win for a woman director, Julie Taymor of The Lion King. The Disney-financed extravaganza earned six Tonys in all, beating out Ragtime for best musical (though Terrence McNally was cited for the latter show's book, and Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty won for original score). Art, French playwright Yasmina Reza's witty pas de trois for male actors about aesthetics in contemporary art and the demands of friendship, was a surprise win for best play of the year.
Director Sam Mendes's revisionist Cabaret swept the Tonys' musical-revival category and provided the New York season with indelible onstage images and a dramatic offstage survival story. Imported by the Roundabout Theatre Company from Mendes's increasingly vital Donmar Warehouse (after months of negotiation for a club-style venue in the theatre district where the show's Kit Kat Klub could be created environmentally), the production departed radically from the tone of Harold Prince's original 1966 stage production and Bob Fosse's landmark 1972 film. Mendes turned the gamine Sally Bowles (Natasha Richardson, later replaced by Jennifer Jason Leigh) into a desperate and self-deluded waif and the omnipresent Master of Ceremonies (Alan Cumming, in the role memorably played by Joel Grey as a tuxedoed German Expressionist marionette) into a gyrating, omnisexual creature spangled with glitter and scarred with needle track marks. Dark, erotic, and relentless, the production emphasized the economic desperation of late Weimar Germany rather than its honky-tonk gaiety and pointed to disturbing connections between the aesthetics of the Nazi era and those of current popular culture.
Ensconced in a 520-seat club on 43rd Street, the hit musical was forced to close down for several weeks when the scaffolding of a construction elevator attached to the nearby Condé Nast Tower in Times Square collapsed, making the neighborhood unsafe for pedestrians. The closing of Cabaret and two other Roundabout productions cost the theatre some $2 million, but producer Todd Haimes held out until the show could reopen and then announced plans to move it late in the year to refurbished quarters once occupied by the legendary discotheque Studio 54.
Haimes took centre stage in another financial drama when he was offered the reins of Livent, the Toronto-based production company founded by Garth Drabinsky and recently acquired by a team that included Hollywood power broker Michael Ovitz. Drabinsky was ousted amid allegations of bookkeeping irregularities, and Haimes assumed his duties while retaining his connections to the Roundabout. (See Sidebar.)
Other leadership changes at theatres around the U.S. bode well for the vitality of regional work. Director Michael Wilson slipped confidently into the shoes of longtime Hartford Stage Company director Mark Lamos, announcing his intention to devote the coming decade at the Connecticut theatre to examining the complete output of Tennessee Williams. Another Williams aficionado, Molly Smith, was selected as director of Washington, D.C.'s Arena Stage, on the basis of her years of progressive and community-sensitive work at the Perseverance Theatre of Alaska. At the debt-ridden Long Wharf Theatre in New Haven, Conn. (where Margaret Edson's Wit originated), second-season artistic director Douglas Hughes engineered an economic turnaround and steered a new creative team in inventive directions.
On the Canadian side of the border, Livent's business troubles--the management takeover was followed by bankruptcy and the decimation of the company's Toronto offices--engendered fears that Canadian tourism might be affected. The theatre community got more bad news in the form of continued government cutbacks in arts funding, although this was somewhat offset by a well-publicized gift of $1 million to small arts groups from Joan Chalmers, a prominent philanthropist.
A note of optimism was struck when leading Canadian actors joined forces to form a new classical company named Soulpepper, under the artistic directorship of Albert Schultz, with Broadway-certified musical-theatre actor Brent Carver (who also led the cast of the Livent-backed musical Parade at New York's Lincoln Center Theater) as its first-year guest artist. Among the year's most memorable productions was Shelagh Stephenson's wry confessional family drama The Memory of Water at Toronto's Tarragon Theatre.

Childhood astrocytoma is a disease in which benign (noncancer) or malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the brain.
Astrocytomas are tumors that start in star-shaped brain cells called astrocytes. An astrocyte is a type of glial cell. Glial cells hold nerve cells in place and help them work the way they should. There are several types of astrocytomas. They can form anywhere in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Brain tumors are the third most common type of cancer in children.
The tumors may be benign (not cancer) or malignant (cancer). Benign brain tumors grow and press on nearby areas of the brain. They rarely spread into other tissues. Malignant brain tumors are likely to grow quickly and spread into other brain tissue. When a tumor grows into or presses on an area of the brain, it may stop that part of the brain from working the way it should. Both benign and malignant brain tumors can cause symptoms and need treatment.
This summary is about the treatment of primary brain tumors that begin in the glial cells in the brain. Information is included about the following tumors that form from glial cells:
- Astrocytomas.
- Oligodendrogliomas.
- Oligoastrocytomas.
- Glioblastoma.
Treatment of metastatic brain tumors is not discussed in this summary. Metastatic brain tumors are formed by cancer cells that begin in other parts of the body and spread to the brain.
Brain tumors can occur in both children and adults. However, treatment for children may be different than treatment for adults. (For more information about the different types of brain tumors, see the PDQ Childhood Brain and Spinal Cord Tumors Treatment Overview summary about children and the Adult Brain Tumors summary about adults.)
The central nervous system controls many important body functions.
Astrocytomas most commonly form in these parts of the central nervous system (CNS):
- Cerebrum: The largest part of the brain, at the top of the head. The cerebrum controls thinking, learning, problem-solving, speech, emotions, reading, writing, and voluntary movement.
- Cerebellum: The lower, back part of the brain (near the middle of the back of the head). The cerebellum controls movement, balance, and posture.
- Brain stem: The part that connects the brain to the spinal cord, in the lowest part of the brain (just above the back of the neck). The brain stem controls breathing, heart rate, and the nerves and muscles used in seeing, hearing, walking, talking, and eating.
- Hypothalamus: The area in the middle of the base of the brain that controls body temperature, hunger, and thirst.
- Visual pathway: The group of nerves that connect the eye with the brain.
- Spinal cord: The column of nerve tissue that runs from the brain stem down the center of the back. It is covered by three thin layers of tissue called membranes. The spinal cord and membranes are surrounded by the vertebrae (back bones). Spinal cord nerves carry messages between the brain and the rest of the body, such as a signal from the brain to cause muscles to move or from the skin to the brain for the sense of touch.

VZ Velorum: 116 years of a Mira star
pdf ps
Lászlo L. Kiss
of Physics, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia
April 6, 2006; accepted May 2, 2006
Abstract Using the Harvard College Observatory photographic
plate collection and recent CCD observations by the ASAS project we have
reconstructed the light variations of the southern pulsating red giant star VZ
Velorum between 1890 and early 2006. Contrary to an early report on its
low-amplitude semiregular nature, we found a relatively stable Mira-like light
curve with a mean period of 318 days and amplitude up to 7 magnitudes. The
latest observations show evidence for a slightly shorter period (312 days).
However, the difference does not exceed the intrinsic period jitter often seen
in Mira type variables.

Researchers Discover Solid-State Buckyballs In Space
[ Watch the Video ]
For the first time ever, astronomers have discovered buckminsterfullerines existing in a solid form in space, according to a study published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Ian O'Neill of Discovery News reports that buckminsterfullerines (also known as buckyballs) are "a geodesic molecular ordering of 60 carbon atoms that resemble the domes designed by American architect and inventor Richard Buckminster Fuller."
Previously, these carbon spheres had only been discovered existing in a gas state in outer space, but now researchers, including lead author Nye Evans of the UK's Keele University, have used data obtained from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope to detect particles made up of stacked buckyballs around a pair of stars.
Those stars, known as XX Ophiuchi, is located some 6,500 light years from Earth and had enough particles surrounding them " to fill the equivalent in volume to 10,000 Mount Everests," the U.S. space agency reported in a Wednesday press release.
"These buckyballs are stacked together to form a solid, like oranges in a crate," Evans said in a statement. "The particles we detected are miniscule, far smaller than the width of a hair, but each one would contain stacks of millions of buckyballs."
Buckyballs, whose existence in space had not been confirmed until they were first witnessed — in gas form — by the Spitzer telescope in a nearby galaxy known two years ago, have an unusual structure which NASA says makes them prime candidates for a variety of chemical or electrical applications here on Earth, "including superconducting materials, medicines, water purification and armor."
Here on Earth, the soccer-ball shaped particles are discovered in soot, and while in solid form at the bottom of a test tube, they take on a "brown, 'goo-like form," O'Neill wrote.
"The recent discovery of buckyballs particles means that large quantities of these molecules must be present in some stellar environments in order to link up and form solid particles," NASA officials reported on Wednesday. "The research team was able to identify the solid form of buckyballs in the Spitzer data because they emit light in a unique way that differs from the gaseous form."
Mike Werner, Spitzer project scientist for at the Pasadena, California-based Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), called the results "exciting" and said that their findings suggest that buckminsterfullerines were "even more widespread in space" than the telescope's previous findings had suggested. He added that he believed that the particles could be "an important form of carbon, an essential building block for life, throughout the cosmos."

Well, at least Fernando Alonso has better taste in company cars than he does in sweaters.
Ferrari F1's pilot has just picked up the keys to his box-fresh fleet vehicle and, instead of the 458 Italia we'd have predicted, he's opted instead for a Maserati GranCabrio.
Now, we know we've been guilty of mocking the lantern-jawed Spaniard over the last couple of years at TopGear.com, but here we must hold our hands up: though it ain't quite a Ferrari (wonder if a nice Fiat Qubo 1.4 Active was on his shortlist?) that's a mighty fine choice of car.
Especially in Alonso's discerning spec of - and here we must quote from Maserati's adulatory press release - Grigio Granito paint with a Pearl Beige and Bordeaux leather interior and a Bordeaux soft-top. A truly stunning combo when teamed with the Reddish Red and Definitely White of Nando's weekend wear.
Maserati also helpfully mentions that the GranCabrio goes on sale in the UK next month, with prices starting at £95,510. Grumpy race driver not included.

Volcano Erupts Off Yemen, Soldiers Killed
October 1, 2007 02:43 PM - Mohammed Ghobari, Reuters
SANAA (Reuters) - A volcano erupted on a Yemeni Red Sea island late on Sunday, killing at least seven soldiers and spewing lava and ash hundreds of meters into the air.
A government official said seven bodies had been recovered, along with one survivor, all soldiers stationed on Jabal al-Tair island, some 80 miles off Yemen's mainland.
A Defence Ministry official on the island, which has been home to a military base since Yemen's 1996 conflict with Eritrea, said its western part had "collapsed" into the sea.

Lake Superior Sets Record for Low Water
October 1, 2007 10:39 AM - AP
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. - Drought and mild temperatures have pushed Lake Superior's water level to its lowest point on record for this time of year, continuing a downward spiral across the Great Lakes. Preliminary data show Superior's average water level in September dipped 1.6 inches beneath the previous low for that month reached in 1926, Cynthia Sellinger, deputy director of NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory, said Sunday.
Deforestation Needs to be in Next Climate Pact
October 1, 2007 09:08 AM - Reuters
JAKARTA -Cutting emissions from deforestation will be key to curbing climate change and should be agreed upon in December's climate talks in Bali, a leading Indonesian forestry researcher said on Monday. The conference on the resort island is expected to initiate talks on clinching a new deal by 2009 to fight global warming. Under the Kyoto Protocol, developed nations can pay poor countries to cut emissions from activities such as the manufacture of refrigerants and fertilizers as well as capturing greenhouse gases from farm waste and rubbish dumps.
Tropical Storm Juliette forms in Mexican Pacific
September 30, 2007 05:27 PM - Reuters
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Juliette formed in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico and was forecast to whirl along off the Baja California peninsula over the next few days, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said on Sunday.
Juliette was carrying maximum sustained winds of 45 mph (72 kph) and was more than 350 miles southwest of the peninsula.
The center described Juliette as a "weaker storm" that could lose force as it hit cooler waters.

Study: Global Warming Effecting North America's Northernmost Arctic Lake
September 29, 2007 05:35 PM - Paul Schaefer, ENN
Quebec, Canada - Analyses conducted by researchers from Université Laval's Center for Northern Studies reveal that aquatic life in Ward Hunt Lake, the continent's northernmost lake, is affected by climate change.
Ward Hunt Lake is a body of water located on a small island north of Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic, has undergone major transformations within the last two centuries. The speed and range of these transformations—unprecedented in the lake's last 8,000 years—suggest that climate change related to human activity could be at the source of this phenomenon.
The researchers' conclusions are based on the analysis of a sediment core extracted in the center of Ward Hunt Lake in August 2003. This 18 centimeter long sediment core containing algae pigments and diatom remnants was used by the researchers as a biological archive in order to determine the diversity and abundance of aquatic life-forms in the lake over the last 8,450 years.
Researchers Discover Tropical Kelp Forests
September 29, 2007 04:33 PM - Paul Schaefer, ENN
Santa Barbara, California - Santa Barbara, California - Researchers have discovered large undersea forests of endangered kelp in areas previously thought to be bare of the plant, in the tropics. Using a computer model, researchers believe they've located nearly 10,000 square miles of areas that could harbor the plant. "The ecosystems that form in these cold, deep pockets beneath warm tropical waters look more like their cousins in California than the tropical reefs just 200 feet above," said co-author Brian Kinlan, a researcher with UC Santa Barbara's Marine Science Institute. "It is very similar to what we see when we climb a high mountain. For example, high alpine country in California looks more like Alaska."
Tropical Storm Melissa Whirls In Atlantic
September 29, 2007 03:35 PM -
MIAMI (Reuters) - Tropical Storm Melissa formed in the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday but posed no immediate threat to land, while Tropical Depression Karen weakened, the National Hurricane Center said.
As of 11 a.m. EDT, Melissa was about 300 miles
west of the Cape Verde Islands, moving northwest at eight miles per hour (13 kilometers per hour) with winds of 40 mph, the hurricane center said.
"Little change in strength is forecast during the next 24 hours," the center's advisory said.

Habitat conservation falters with economy
Government programs and agencies wither; non-profits scratch for money
State funding also follows a seesaw pattern. California's Wildlife Conservation Board, a major source of land acquisition funds, averaged spending about $220 million a year during the early 2000s. The level has shrunk to an average of $85 million annually since 2006.
John Donnelly, executive director of the conservation board, figures the agency will be able to maintain its current pace for at least four years, but it's not clear when or if another statewide bond measure will pass to keep money flowing for the long term.
"It's been five years since the last major bond act was passed," he said. "Our funding is dwindling."
The situation is more severe at state land agencies, which historically have been willing to adopt or purchase habitat lands. Conservationists say they're pulling back in the face of unprecedented budget cuts that have forced the state to plan closures of 70 California parks.
"State government is kind of leery about taking on additional lands at the same time they can't operate those that they currently hold," said David Van Cleve at The Nature Conservancy in San Diego.
In 2004, the conservancy and its partners launched the Las Californias Binational Conservation Initiative. It was designed to make sure that creatures such as mountain lions and bighorn sheep could move across the rapidly developing border region. It had high-powered supporters, including the largest conservation group in Mexico.
Today, momentum has slowed. "I'd love to give you a great success story," Van Cleve said. But, "it's probably not as robust as anybody would prefer."
He cited many factors, from skittish donors to wary agencies, and said there are signs of progress. For instance, the conservancy is working in Mexico City to promote conservation of border lands and the initiative recently was awarded money from Wildlife Conservation Board to help pay for 563 acres near Jamul.
"We haven't stopped just because the money has slowed down," Van Cleve said.
Funding opportunities would expand under a plan by the San Diego Association of Governments to distribute roughly $160 million from a TransNet habitat conservation account over the next 37 years. The money is part of a larger environmental mitigation packaged SANDAG used to secure support from conservationists.
"It will mean acceleration of land acquisition despite the economy that we are in," said Mike Kelly, board president of the San Diego Conservation Resources Network. "Without the TransNet funding, there would be very little land acquisition going on."
SANDAG is developing a strategy for distributing the money, but executive director Gary Gallegos said it won't be meted out until the agency sews up permits for various road projects such as expanding Interstate 5.
Gallegos downplayed the money's potential to buoy conservationists. "I imagine their expectations are probably way greater than our capacity," he said.

Guest Author - Lori Phillips
Todays economy is forcing people to make drastic sacrifices in their lifestyles and living with adult children is fast becoming the most common. When the housing market has turned upside down and two-income-families are turning into no-income families, I predict that multiple family homes will become the new trend. Pooling resources will be a good way to keep afloat in a downward spiraling economy.
One of my friends whose husband lost his IT job depends on her meager salary from a preschool job. It doesnt cover the mortgage and theyre facing the inevitable: She, her husband and three school-age children will move in with her parents within a few months.
My adult children live with us still. One is undergoing medical treatment; the other moved back after attending an East Coast school and decided he preferred the West Coast. Sure they could rent their own place, if they had roommates, but theyre wise enough to know that a little independence isnt worth the rent money that could be diverted toward a better cause. They also dont care to live on dry packaged noodle soup or do away with a fast Internet connection. Living with us provides them a better lifestyle than they could afford.
Cultural norms
In some cultures, living with several generations of family members is the norm. The older members care for the little ones as their parents work outside the home. No child care from strangers is necessary. Then, as the elderly members age, the younger members care for them in a circle of life sort of way. Finances are combined and the clan enjoys a good living. I recall an old high school acquaintance whose parents moved with her when she went to college. They rented an apartment together and cooked and cleaned for her so she could focus on her studies. Then, they cared for the grandchildren as their daughter married and worked as a pharmacist. Her success was their success.
But the American tradition has been one of independence rather than interdependence in the Asian tradition. Young adult children are encouraged to fly away on their own while the older members bask in the accomplishment of having raised independent children while enjoying newfound freedom from child-rearing. Only today, out of necessity, their children are flocking back home.
Consider the mutual benefits as well as the possible pitfalls
There are benefits and pitfalls of which to be aware. The financial benefits are obvious but there are others like family closeness. It feels great to spend time with my adult kids instead of waiting for the weekly phone call. Family dinners around the table are fun and boisterous again. My son agreed to work the family business and he is an indispensible asset, and I can tell you that sharing the household workload with my adult daughter is fantastic. It frees me up to pursue my interests.
Our only pitfall is one of privacy, even though we live in a spacious four-bedroom home. But everyone is respectful of a closed door, and were good about setting aside Date Nights. Other people we know have run into other problems like messy habits and wasteful living. When youre trying to help out by allowing adult kids to live rent-free, how aggravating is it to watch them spend money on booze and gambling?
How to live with your adult children happily
If your adult children come home, its good to pre-empt problems by establishing some mutual agreements. Be sure to discuss the following:
1. Rent: Will the kids be expected to pay a portion of the house mortgage? Or will they be allowed to stash it away to help them build reserves for their own place in the future?
2. Household maintenance: Will the kids be expected to chip in with chores? If so, which chores? Will they help financially or physically with home repairs?
3. Bills: More bodies in the house means higher utility bills, like water and electricity. Will the kids chip in their portion?
4. Food: Will they help with the grocery bill? If so, how much? Will they help with food preparation or will mom do all the cooking once again?
5. Living space: Will the kids invite guests over every weekend to take over the living space?
6. Independence: Will you insist upon a curfew now that theyre adults? Will you meddle or let them live their adult lives under your roof? Will it bother you that they are saving on rent money only to spend it on things you dont approve of like drinking or gambling? Will they expect you to babysit without giving you notice?
7. Length of stay: Is this a temporary arrangement? How long will you allow them to stay?
Maybe its the Asian in me, but I love living with my adult children. They are respectful, helpful, and really great company. If we could afford a huge house, Id gladly invite their families to live in their own wing although their spouses might have different plan. For now, Id like to think that we've helped them from wasteful renting until they marry and start their own families. Meanwhile, I get to hold onto my kids just a little while longer and we can wait out these unstable financial times together.
