Fringe Dwellers 'Hold Secrets Of Survival'
Corals right out on the exposed edges of the world's great coral reef zones may hold an important clue to the survival of coral ecosystems facing intensifying pressure from human activities and climate change.
In a paper in the international journal Science, researchers Professor John Pandolfi of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies and University of Queensland and Professor Ann Budd of the University of Iowa have released new evidence showing that the evolutionary action on coral reefs is not in their "Ëœhot spots' "" but out on the fringes, where corals struggle to survive.
Their trailblazing research is calling for a re-think about how to protect corals and other at-risk species under climate change.
"We think we may have to pay just as much attention to protecting the edges of the ranges of coral species, where corals are fewer and less diverse, as we are currently paying to the places of rich coral biodiversity," Prof Pandolfi says.
"There are two main reasons. First, this appears to be where corals are evolving most quickly, giving rise to new species, in response to all the challenges they encounter, and where they appear to hybridize with one another most readily, potentially as a survival tactic.
"And second, it is on the edges of their ranges that the corals are likely to encounter significant impacts from climate change "" and hence, where we need to act to protect them."
In their research Prof Pandolfi and Prof Budd have pioneered a new approach to assessing the conservation significance of a population of species "" not simply looking at how many species are present, but also the rate of evolution going on among them.
"Evolution is the key to survival for life on Earth, and we feel it makes good sense to assess an area or ecosystem by its evolutionary potential rather than just the number of species it holds," he said.
"In terms of species richness, these fringe areas can't compete with the spectacular hotspots of biodiversity which we normally protect with Marine Parks and other important measures. But in terms of evolutionary innovation, our work suggests they can be way out in front."
The researchers argue that there is a need to anticipate the evolutionary potential of populations at the edge of their inhabited ranges when considering likely effects of climate change on the species. "You'd really hate to lose the populations that are really showing high levels of adaptation and change," Prof. Pandolfi says.
In order to compare the rates of evolution in corals, the team studied existing and fossil corals, going back for several hundreds of thousands of years, collected across the Caribbean.
"One thing we noticed was that not only speciation but also hybridization "" inter-breeding among coral species "" was going on at the edges much more than in the heart of their range. Both mechanisms are ways that the rate of coral evolution speeds up and generates evolutionary novelty over time, in order to cope with the more hostile conditions the corals encounter on the fringes of their distributions," Professor Budd says.
"Our data suggest that species edge zones play an important role in evolutionary innovation," the researchers say.
"As such, we believe that species edge zones and peripheral areas, together with population connectivity, should play a prominent role in the future design (number, placement, size) of marine reserves."
Their paper "Evolutionary novelty is concentrated at the edge of coral species distributions"; by Ann F. Budd and John M. Pandolfi, is published in the current issue of Science, June 18, 2010.

CBI on Monday took over the probe of three new FIRs including abetment to suicide and attempt to murder filed in the molestation case against former Haryana DGP SPS Rathore and other police officials of the State.
Rathore, on his part, moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging a lower court order which denied him anticipatory bail in two fresh FIRs filed by the victim's father and brother levelling serious criminal charges against him.
His plea will come up for hearing on Tuesday.
"CBI has taken up investigation of the three cases relating to the molestation case today," CBI spokesperson Harsh Bhal said in Delhi adding that the Centre had given consent following a request from the Haryana government.
The agency has re-registered the three cases in Special Crime Zone in New Delhi and has asked all persons in the know of facts and circumstances of these cases and those who are willing to give evidence in the court to inform the agency.
The first case has been registered under various sections of the IPC including abetment to suicide against the ex DGP, then Superintendent of Police K. P. Singh, Sub Inspector Prem Dutt and two Assistant Sub-Inspectors Jai Narain and Sewa Singh, all from Haryana police besides others.
The other two cases against the same officers, excluding the then SP, have been registered under various sections including attempt to murder and public servant disobeying law with intent to cause injury.

This ferociously inventive and
satirical novel is set in a 21st Century
Britain divided into dozens of squabbling principalities called the Ununited
Kingdoms. Magic openly exists in this world, once it was the driving force of
civilization but over the centuries it has dwindled. Long ago the greatest
wizard ever forced the powerful and terrifying dragons to live on special
reservations bounded by force fields that disintegrate any human interlopers.
The Dragonlands are pristine natural areas kept free of farms, freeways, and
factories, and in return people can go about their routines without being
gobbled up by giant flying reptiles. All thanks to the mighty wizard Shandar,
the like of whom we shan't see again.
Nowadays the greatest magic
practitioners of the age have to hustle odd jobs like finding lost keys,
enchanting moles out of a garden, or rewiring a house without having to cut
into the walls. Kazam Magical Arts Management is an agency that arranges these
jobs and handles all the paperwork for the notoriously disorganized wizards.
Forms have to be filled out for even the smallest spell. The punishments for
ignoring this modern bureaucracy are very old-fashioned-- burning at the stake.
Kazam is currently run by Jennifer Strange, two months away from her sixteenth
birthday but extremely bright and competent. She is a foundling; there is a
whole industry that contracts orphans in indentured servitude until their
eighteenth birthday. Jennifer could have done worse than being in charge of a
bunch of highly temper mental magic-users who all live with her in a big
converted hotel filled with all sorts of quirks and enchantments. It certainly
never gets boring.
Things get a lot less boring when
some of her precognitive clients and other soothsayers in the Kingdom of Hereford
predict the coming death of the very last dragon. With the demise of the
fearsome and unseen dragon Maltcassion the hundreds of square miles of
Dragonland will be up for grabs. More tantalizing still, there are predictions
of a coming Big Magic, which no one can explain but has all the kingdoms in a
tizzy. Jennifer and her friends at Kazam are swept up in the greedy plots of
politicians, corporations, and the media. She will meet all sorts of weird
characters, benign and menacing, and uncover her own destiny.
Jasper Fforde has amazed us with
his brilliant Thursday Next novels and the Nursery Crimes. He loads his pages
with astounding imagination and gleefully lampoons the status quo. Jennifer
Strange's world comes alive with lots of odd details. The Last Dragonslayer is the first in a series for younger readers.
It came out in the UK
two years ago and I am looking forward to reading the further brainy and funny
Chronicles of Kazam.

It rhymes, so you know it's rad.
This new author is young - not as
young as Paolini of Eragon
fame, but she's barely in her second year of college, and this book has been
brewing in her head since she was twelve. What's
Left of Me is the beginning of another young adult series called
the Hybrid Chronicles, taking
place in an alternate version of present-day Earth. The people in this universe
are all born with two souls housed in the same body. Essentially, by the time a
person is past their toddler years, a "dominant soul" is expected to
take over the body, while the "recessive soul" fades away entirely.
Children who don't completely merge are seen as hybrids, and are dangerous for
reasons that aren't fully explained in this breakout novel; the main characters
are actually two souls, Addie and Eva, both conscious in the shared body. Once
again you've got teens on the run from the government, but as readers uncover
the horrible medical and political secrets kept from the public, things get
more intense than expected. Addie and Eva communicate through a form of thought/speak
reminiscent of the familiars from Pullman's
Dark Materials series and
Applegate's Animorph series.
Because it's two people in one body, it's like reading about a person with
multiple personalities, except it's happening at the same time and while a girl
is going through the tough teenage years. Seriously, characters in young adult
novels have it beyond rough. Ages 13+

I had the
great pleasure of meeting Veronica Wolff at one of many N.Y.M.B.C fantastic
Author events, and I gotta say this woman is pretty darn spectacular. I had not
read her young adult series before I met her, but after meeting her I bought
the first two books and pre-ordered the third. I was awed and amazed by how
much I loved the story! I finished the first two books in 3 days, and was aching
for the third! These books are not only fast paced, but something is always
happening! I was never bored at any moment, and I loved loved loved the main
character, Annelise! She is a snarky and sarcastic girl with a potty mouth and
tends to, on more than one occasion, put her foot in her mouth. She isn't
played off as this average girl, in fact she is a genius. Finding herself
boarding a plane and being taken to a mysterious island with an even more
mysterious hunk of a Scottish guy. She soon finds out she will be
attending a school where not only vampires are the headmasters but she is
training to be a deadly assassin. All the girls at this school are competing
against eachother to the death to climb up the ladder of becoming an honorable Watcher.
But all she wants to do is to get out of this dark and dreary rock, and in order to
do so, she must become a watcher so that she may escape. Easier said than done,
this series is brilliant! Not at all your typical vampire novel, these books
have something for everyone! They not only had me laughing out loud multiple
times, but they had me hanging onto every word on every page! The
cliffhangers are killer, literally, so make sure to have the next available
book in the series next to you! Bravo Veronica Wolff! Bravo! For Ages 14+

This press release is available in German.
Excitation of neurons depends on the selected influx of certain ions, namely sodium, calcium and potassium through specific channels. Obviously, these channels were crucial for the evolution of nervous systems in animals. How such channels could have evolved their selectivity has been a puzzle until now. Yehu Moran and Ulrich Technau from the University of Vienna together with Scientists from Tel Aviv University and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (USA) have now revealed that voltage-gated sodium channels, which are responsible for neuronal signaling in the nerves of animals, evolved twice in higher and lower animals. These results were published in "Cell Reports".
The opening and closing of ion channels enable flow of ions that constitute the electrical signaling in all nervous systems. Every thought we have or every move we make is the result of the highly accurate opening and closing of numerous ion channels. Whereas the channels of most lower animals and their unicellular relatives cannot discern between sodium and calcium ions, those of higher animals are highly specific for sodium, a characteristic that is important for fast and accurate signaling in complex nervous system.
Surprising results in sea anemones and jellyfish
However, the researchers found that a group of basal animals with simple nerve nets including sea anemones and jellyfish also possess voltage-gated sodium channels, which differ from those found in higher animals, yet show the same selectivity for sodium. Since cnidarians separated from the rest of the animals more than 600 million years ago, these findings suggest that the channels of both cnidarians and higher animals originated independently twice, from ancient non-selective channels which also transmit calcium.

Nebraska to limit abortions because of fetal pain
Abortion supporters and opponents agree the key vote would come from Justice Anthony Kennedy, who sided with the majority in Planned Parenthood v. Casey but is a moderate conservative.
Mary Spaulding Balch, legislative director for national Right to Life, said the key question for the law's supporters is "do we have Kennedy?"
She said she believed there was a good chance the law would be upheld, and if it was, it would provide greater protection for unborn children.
"It says the state has an interest in the unborn child before viability," she said.
The switch from viability to fetal pain in justifying abortion limits isn't the only aspect of the Nebraska law that raises legal issues.
The bill also bars women from having abortions after 20 weeks because of mental health problems. The only exceptions to the ban would be if a woman was near death or at risk of irreversible physical harm.
Another first-of-its kind bill, passed by Nebraska lawmakers on Monday, would require women to be screened for mental health problems and other issues before having abortions. Heineman is expected to sign that bill Tuesday afternoon as well.

My bathroom door would not lock, the pool was out of order, housekeeping was short of towels-had to give us pool towels. The family had four rooms, in town for a funeral. The Wi-Fi did not work properly, satellite went out too.
Staff friendly
Toilet stopped working more than once
Nothing was good. It was a bad experience.
The sheets and toilet was dirty.
The day I checked out!
What a dump! This hotel is not only filthy and run down, it is also in a horrible neighborhood. Thank goodness I always travel with Lysol wipes. This hellish hotel needs a complete renovation and competent help! Breakfast bar is a joke...SLOP!
Despite being completely booked and a crazy busy weekend because of the University homecoming across the street, the hotel staff was extremely friendly. I would visit again.
My only dislike about the hotel was not about the hotel itself but the closeness of restaurants and attractions outside the hotel. We typically had to drive anywhere we went.
Nothing really.
I was very disappointed in the hotel because I once lived in this city and I remember when it was the Sheraton and it was a very nice place to stay now with new owners walls need painting people stay there use it as a party place for the weekend.
It was nothing but false advertisement it had no ashtray, no trash can,no refrigerator no microwave.. And very night we had to fight to get a spot because the customers at the lunge next door was using all the spaces up.
The bed was very comfortable. I liked that the room had a refrigerator and microwave. The breakfast was ok. Room was decent for a one night stay. It was right in front of traffic but the noise was minimal. It was across a Rite Aid, just in case you need to get something.
The room was small, the color on the walls were a dingy darker green making it look even smaller, wallpaper lining the top of the wall was poorly taped together. Half the plugs in the room didn't work.
The bathroom was noticeably dirty: it had other people's hairs on the floor/tub and there was even a roach that made an appearance. They provided just a bar of soap and a small sample of shampoo.
I was hoping for more variety with the breakfast-just cereal and toast/waffles. No eggs or bagels.
Good location and friendly staff.
Some of the furniture was torn and ragged. There were large rips in the chair. The chair in the business center was ripped!
The location was ideal. The rooms were clean and comfortable.
The staff was friendly and professional
This hotel is beachfront which is it's only redeeming feature!
The hotel was dirty and not just from the last guest. We saw the non-electric "carpet sweeper" that was being used on the carpets and I am not sure that the bathroom floor had been mopped for some time. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone besides the "spring break" college crowd. The best thing is the location but they fall down in every other aspect! Just glad I didn't have my young family with me!,The hotel was dirty and not just from the last guest.

Everything was just so nice and all the staff was so great and always had a nice on there faces.
personnel were accommodating to any of my requests. that is as expected
the room was musty like mold, the key lock did not work correctly anytime. weak shower pressure.
Theres no elevator or luggage cart to haul your luggage if yourr on the 2nd floor. The door was jammed and it took 3 minutes to open my door each time.. the breakfast was a joke lol. The internet didnt work and neither did the exercise equipment
Rooms, staff, location
For the money the room cost, the breakfast could be better.
Overall, the hotel was more than sufficient for meeting my needs and expectations. It was definitely clean and the staff were excellent and very helpful. I plan on a return trip in the near future and will again book for a stay at this hotel.
Nothing to dislike at all.
Didn't known the area to well when I selected this hotel. Not in the best area.
Great manager. Had compliant 're maintenance issues and manager personally inspected room in our presence. He was sincere and professional.
Mattress on our bed sagged and was uncomfortable.
Nice Rroom.
Breakfast wasn't included in price of room.
Friendly Staff!!!
There was a major crack in the bathroom tile. The carpet had a major cut in it. The alarm clock wasn't working.
Fast Wi-Fi
Microwave and 'fridge - but it was dirty
Poorly maintained
Unkempt staff
I knew the area and figured this wouldn't be a hotel with illicit activity. I was right, hookers and drug dealers wouldn't stay at this very poorly maintain facility that is badly in need of major renovation.

Toulon fly-half Jonny Wilkinson was understandably delighted after kicking all of his side's points as they beat Saracens 24-12 at Twickenham to secure their place in the Heineken Cup final.
The England international enjoyed a 100% success rate, slotting over seven penalties and a late drop-goal that broke Sarries' resolve, but Wilkinson was keen to pay tribute to the English side.
"It was great to come out on top against a team like Saracens, it's a big thing for us," he said.
"It didn't go fantastically well for us and we didn't do some of the things we wanted to do.
"But it was all about fighting hard until the last minute and hanging on. Spirit and determination got us there."
One intriguing moment in the contest came six minutes from time when Wilkinson stabbed over his drop-goal as Farrell clattered into him, with the two sharing friendly words afterwards.
"When Owen tackled me, he said 'I didn't go through' and I said 'I'm really sorry, I didn't deserve that, it was down to luck'," added Wilkinson.
"He played brilliantly and didn't deserve that."
The British and Irish Lions squad to tour Australia is announced on Tuesday and the pressure is mounting on head coach Warren Gatland to find a place for Wilkinson on the plane, despite his insistence on not selecting French-based players.
Wilkinson himself remained modest about his chances of inclusion, insisting there are others who might be more likely to get the nod.
"The Lions is difficult for me because it's not at all that I wouldn't consider it - it would be fabulous. It's up there with the most amazing experiences you can get in rugby," he added.
"There's young players like Owen Farrell and Toby Flood for England, Dan Biggar for Wales and Ireland's Jonny Sexton, who are taking rugby forward and it's their era.
"I want those guys to experience that because they deserve it. I'm digging my fingernails in and hanging on really."
Toulon head coach Bernard Laporte was happy to praise Wilkinson though after his skipper turned in a man-of-the-match performance.
"Jonny was huge today," he said. "Great players win great matches and today that was the case.
"Our English players were extremely good and wanted to show in their homeland that they are not finished. Jonny is a great player and has been for a long time.
"Clermont are a benchmark - they are excellent. But I don't think we are particularly bad and we look forward to playing them in the final."

With just one bedroom with kingsize double and one single bed the cottage is ideal for two adults but one child is easily accommodated and /or any variation of families with up to two children at a squeeze.
Although fenced the cottage boundary is not totally secure and the surrounding fields are usually grazed by sheep therefore we advise that unless dogs are very obedient and unlikely to take any interest in our woolly neighbours for their own safety they be kept on a lead.
The Monmouthshire region
The Brecon Beacons National Park is a mountainous region of outstaning natural beaty where walkers from all over the world come to walk the hills and vales, the cottage is in front of the Blorenge Mountain (popular for hang gliders) and looks directly on to the Sugar Loaf Mountain.
The Brecon and Monmouthshire canal winds along the Usk valley within 300 metres of the cottage.
Vineyard and wine tasting available on the Sugar Loaf. We are only a couple of miles from the town of Abergavenny and near the villages of Govilon, Gilwern and Crickhowell.
We are fortunate to have a Waitrose supermarket on the outskirts of Abergavenny, less than 5 minutes from the Cottage.
Being on the Eastern side of the brecon Beacons results in much drier weather in the Abergavenny area than in the Beacons themselves.
Abergavenny and the local area host various festivals such as the Abergavenny Food Festival in September, Steam Rally in May, week long Cycling Festival in July (Becky James world champion from Abergavenny), Abergavenny Shire horse Show in July and the famed Abergavennyood Food Festival in September to name but a few.
We are near to the World Heritage Site of Blaenavon and the adjacent Big Pit museum where you can be taken underground in the original winding gear lifts
Abergavenny is a busy but unruffled Market Town with lots of interesting shops, pubs and local eateries, famous for its food festival in September and 14 miles from the Cathedral town of Brecon with its annual jazz festival in August. Local restaurants include the nationally acclaimed Walnut Tree whose co-owner Shaun Hill ran the Merchant House Restaurant (won a few gongs) in Ludlow up to early 2005, the Hardwick owned by Stephen Terry of TV fame and the Angel Hotel in Abergavenny which provides the most heavenly afternoon teas.
It is quite possible for you to leave the car on arrival and not use it again until your departure since all the facilities are within easy walking distance for the majority of people. The undulating terrain offeres you splendid views of the surrounding hills and the accommodation looks out to agricultural land that is usually occupied by sheep.
A short distance (5 miles) from the cottage lies Blaenavon, a World Heritage Site with its restored iron works and Big Pit, now a museum offering free trips underground via original winding gear. Continuing the underground theme the cottage is surrounded by some of the best potholing in the UK from Llangatock to the Blorenge with over 130 miles of caves in the immediate area.
The capital city, Cardiff is just 30 miles away with its fascinating castle, bay quarter, millenium stadium and modern shopping malls.
There are numerous walks that can be started within 300 yards of the house. For example, as you approach along the drive you will cross over the Brecon and Monmouthshire Canal now frequented by longboats and other leisure craft and providing a tree lined towpath to both left and right. In either direction you soon arrive at watering holes offering food and a warm welcome. Starting a little closer to the house and leading from the drive is a footpath accross the fields leading to the recently completed cycleway/footpath which follows the old tramway which to the right winds up the nearby Tilla Hill and to the left leading into Abergavenny.
The 2010 Ryder Cup course at the Celtic Manor Resort is less than 30 minutes from Govilon.

I have a Server (Windows Server 2008 64 bit) to be exact. Everytime I attempt to share a file or folder on vista, the server sees it but will not allow me to access it. Tells me I do not have permission. I am trying to share a file from my PC to it. I connect to it remotely, its on my router. I generally use it to host games.
However since I can't allow it the access to the folder I need, I am wondering if theres something special I have to do. XP you just right clicked went to properties and turned file sharing on for that specific folder, and the other pc had access to it.
The Server does still detect this is being XP, but I think thats just a bug. Does anyone know how I can share my folder with the server? Its defiantly something on my PC, rather then the server.
Sorry for the misleading title, its 4AM :D, and I have to work in 1 hour. Just awoke :P.
Re: Networking
You need to set Share permissions and NTFS permission on the file more than likely. Share permissions should be set to Everyone - Full Control and NTFS should specify the users or groups that need access to the file.
You can access these functions under the Security tab when you Right Click > Properties a file.
I had a hard time following your post, so if this isn't what you're looking for, please rephrase the question. ;)
Re: Networking
I am trying to share the file with my network. So that my server can access the folder I choose to share. It works up until I am ready to click in it to browse. The public folder option works great, but thats as far as it goes. The files I right click on and choose to share, show up but if I try to browse them with the other pc on my network it tells me I do not have permissions. Sorry I thought I had to work so my typing wasn't very good earlier.
Basically I can browse the folder from my own pc. Say if I choose to share that folder with the network, then I go to "Network" and choose for example this PC it shows the folder I am sharing. I can browse it fine on this pc through the network, but if I connect to the server and try to browse that same folder it tells me I do not have permission to do so, but the folder does show up so it is sharing the folder, just not allowing me to do anything beyond that.
Update on the post.
I just right clicked a folder on the server - and told it to share it with the network. I can browse that folder from my main pc, but not the other way around. My main PC still is not allowing the server to browse the folders I choose to share.
Re: Networking
What version of Vista do you have?
If you don't have Business or Ultimate (or just not connected to a domain), you might need to disable simple file sharing so that you can properly assign permissions for Sharing and NTFS. You can do this by opening My Computer, going to Tools > Folder Options > View > Then uncheck "Use Simple File Sharing (Recommended". This will allow you to view your NTFS permissions. In XP Home and maybe in Vista Home, you might have to boot into safe mode to view these permissions.
When you right click the file > Properties > Sharing, go to the Permissions button for the share and make sure you have set the group "Everyone" to "Full Control" or just check all the Allow boxes. You'll want to manage who has access individually with the NTFS permissions described above.
Re: Networking
Did what ya said now nothing works. I can't access control panel it just disappears. The folder I've been trying to share the whole time now doesn't work AT ALL. It tells me I do not have access to it from my own damn pc. Control Panel, Network Places all close and won't let me access them. How do I fix this crap?
I turned off what you said I didn't see EXACTLY what you said in there, but it was the closest thing I could see. I have Vista Ultimate btw.
Re: Networking
Windows file sharing will use the most restrictive set of rights to determine access rights when remotely accessed. You can either adjust share or NTFS permissions. I usually control permissions on the share level.
It sounds like you borked the NTFS permissions, you'll need to reset the permissions on the folder.
Re: Networking
Thanks guys.. duh all I had to do was add Everyone to it.. can't believe that.. It still would of been nice if it worked like XP where you just click "share this folder" and thats it.
Re: Networking
Re: Networking
It's the most restrictive; from a security aspect it'd be better to control it both on the NTFS level as well as the share level. Your advice was 100% accurate, NTFS would be the 'catch-all'.
Re: Networking
Re: Networking
How does Linux handle file sharing? Does it have separate sharing and file system level permissions, or is it all bundled into one simple and secure methodology? The reason I like just setting Share to Everyone and then managing on an NTFS level is because it becomes such a pain in the ass to make sure that permission levels are equivalent across the board. Obviously, share level restrictions would add another layer of security, but damn... things get hairy.

Gaiman's new book a beautiful collision of memory, mortality
If you ask me, I'll tell you that "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is Neil Gaiman's portrait of the artist as a young man. With this book, Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything.
If you ask me, I'll tell you that this is not only a creation myth (of imagination, of a meaningful life, of the universe), but also a wonderful fairy tale with some truly creepy moments. Set in the English countryside of Gaiman's childhood, the story's middle-aged narrator (an artist) flees a family funeral, retreating "toward a house that had not existed for decades." He ends up at the pond at the end of the lane where he first met the Hempstock women (Old Mrs. Hempstock, Ginnie and Lettie), a trinity of females who recall when "the moon was made," who can "snip fragments of time," and who are "not in the fabric of the universe," but "outside of it." »Read Full Article
Coach fired after dance team performed song Miley Cyrus made infamous
A Wisconsin high school dance coach has been fired after her team performed a routine to an edited version of "Blurred Lines," a popular song by Robin Thicke, the Wausau Daily Herald reports.
Lisa Jolin was fired from her job at Marshfield High School in August, after the dance team performed Aug. 23 at the first home football game. Days later, Thicke and Miley Cyrus performed the sexually suggestive — and what some describe as misogynistic — song at the MTV Video Music Awards. »Read Full Article(56)

Been here? Rate It!
Siberian Tiger Park - Part 1
This makes an interesting half-day visit from Harbin. It is on the north side of the Songhuajiang river, and about 30RMB in a taxi. It is advisable to get the taxi to wait, as there are not many in this area.
It is difficult to know what to make of the place though. It is ostensibly a breeding and research centre for the Amur Tiger, yet it doesn't show up on the ISIS listing of centres holding Siberian tigers. In fact, there is precious little mention of the place anywhere other than in news stories of keepers being eaten by the tigers occasionally.
There is virtually no educational information at all, other than some photo panels in the waiting 'shed' where you can browse through the....errrr....tasteful tourist souvenirs (yawn).
If the centre is for research purposes, I am curious to know why they need to keep African lions and black panthers there as well.
Tickets are purchased at the exit, as is common in China.(I know. Live with it) You walk across to the shed and wait for a minibus to take you through about eight open compounds where large numbers of extremely impressive Siberian tigers are hanging around looking fierce and very, very big.
Siberian Tiger Park - Part 2
If you are unlucky (or lucky, depending on your point of view), another person on your bus will have paid to have some poor animal fed to the tigers at the last compound on your route. While it is 'just nature', many people find the fascination that some people have with sadistic animal-on-animal violence a bit worrying. On our trip, one man had paid for a chicken to be put to the gladiators, but the plucky little bird flew straight up on the roof of our bus. It eventually fell off to be torn apart by the tigers. Most of the (males) on our bus were falling over themselves to photograph this spectacle. I have no further comment to make on this, because I'll just get myself into trouble if I do.
The park is worth visiting, in the hope that somehow, perhaps, you are contributing to saving these tigers.
If you are interested in the Manchurian tiger, the following websites provide a lot of information.

brave enough? go to tiger park!
The park, covering an area of 1.2 million square miles, is located on the northern bank of the Songhua River. It is the largest wild natural park in the world for the northeast tiger. Aspecial tour car allows you to linger through groups of tigers and appreciate the adventurous and exciting scene.
it has 4 parts
1,tiger from 5years old, 8--10 in total amount
2,tiger age from 2-4, total is 10--13
3,white tigers, a couple from Sweden :), 2-3 years old
4,tiger under 1 year old, total amout is around 30
price: 50 yuan/person.
Tigers, lions and other fluffy beasts
Tiger park... you'd think it is just a name. But apparently they have a wonderful National Park where tigers and lions live in the wild. Actually, we went there because my Australian's friend Chinese wife read in a news paper that due to SARS animals were starving and the add asked people to visit the park so that the money collected from tickets would contribute to maintainance works and improvement of their diet.
Some of the animals live in cages like panthers and hybrids between tigers and lions: they have a very wild nature and can't co-exist peacefully with other species. But, gosh, the animals were gorgeous. There were few albino tigers both young and adult: GORGEOUS!
We enjoyed the trip and on the way there we even bumped into some people with camels (!) so took pictures :-)

Siberian Tiger Park
In Harbin we took a taxi out to the Siberian Tiger Park where they have about 100 tigers and a few lions. The tigers are not being prepared for independence in the wild and they are totally dependant upon man. The sole purpose of the park appears to be tourist dollars. The flip-side, however, is that the tigers are alive, and their parts not currently for sale in hundreds of pharmacies across China.
They loaded us onto mini-buses and took us through the grounds. The tigers have obviously been fed from these buses and were coming right up to the back windows that could open, where we were sitting. They bumped right up against the buses. At one point a tiger followed us out of his area. The mini-bus driver took us around in circles as we corralled the tiger back into his area. Later on we were walking in this protected walkway through some other tigers.
My friend, Will, joked how they should provide raw meet for the tourists to feed to the tigers. Sure enough, around the next corner was a lady selling live chickens from a basket. Will couldn't resist and bought one. They showed him what to do: hold the live chicken by the wings through this gap and get ready to jump back. The tiger made a huge leap for it, but we were a little too high. He came close enough to give us a hell of a scare, though! Then Will dropped the bird and it was snapped up before it hit the ground.

Tigers in the "wild"
The tiger park is worth a trip outside the city. I was expecting something really inhumane and third world, but I was surprised. It's not the San Diego Zoo, but it's pleasant enough. The tigers have room to run and you can get pretty close. When we went there was nobody else at the park and we were free to leisurely walk around. The bus ride through the grounds is worth it.

North-east Tiger
It is the biggest north-east tiger brood base. North-east tiger is the largest tiger in the world.
But before I saw them, I did not believe so. But to see is to believe.

texasmonthly.com: Where did the idea for Bum Steers come from and when did it first appear in the magazine?
PB: Bum Steers was a shameless rip-off of Esquire's Dubious Achievements awards. At the time, Esquire ranked with The New Yorker as the best-written magazine in the country, and the Dubious Achievement awards were widely read. The original idea for a Texas version may have come from editor Bill Broyles, or with the first writer to tackle them, Richard West. The magazine's first issue was February 1973, and so the first Bum Steers appeared in February 1974. The name caused some consternation around the office, because the first ad campaign for Texas Monthly had promised, "No bum steers or bluebonnets." We did a really controversial cover the second year of Richard dressed in a raincoat, which he was holding open—from the back of course—with the line, if I remember correctly, "Texas Exposed." For the first four years (1974—1977) they continued to appear in February, and in 1978 they moved to January, where they have remained ever since with the exception of 1986, when the Sesquicentennial issue appeared in January and Bum Steers was moved back a month.
texasmonthly.com: Can you explain the whole process of how Bum Steers works?
AD: We prepare for it all year long. In the editorial department we have a big cardboard box labeled "Bum Steers," and everyone—writers, editors, art folks—throws clippings and printouts and press releases in there every month. Readers are great about sending in submissions; we get dozens from them. And we have regular Bum Steer-ophiles around the state who keep an eye out for local follies. By the end of October, when we start planning and organizing, the box is crammed full. There are several hundred items to wade through. We divide them into "Yes," "Maybe," and "No" piles, until we've winnowed the finalists down to 150 or so. Then we write up each item, and the whole batch has to be copy edited, fact-checked, and subjected to the rest of the editorial process. It's like doing a big annoying jigsaw puzzle—it takes a lot of time, effort, and swearing.
PB: All during the year, the Bum Steers team—mainly Evan, Anne, the art department, and I—are on the lookout for our Bum Steer of the Year to put on the cover. Sometimes it is obvious who or what the Bum Steer of the Year should be, and sometimes it is less obvious. We also look for funny products and books that can go in the Gift Guide and Bookshelf sidebars. By the end of the first week, we want to have a polished version, edited and with as many headlines as possible, for all items. We also must come up with a cover idea during the first week. The second week is devoted to refining and to choosing sidebars and finalizing the cover. Hours are spent debating color, content, image, and nuance. The third week is usually a short week, because it is before Thanksgiving, and the goal, indeed, the mandate, is to have all copy ready except the introduction to be laid out on the weekend before the last week of work on the issue. Deputy editor Jane Dure is responsible for making sure that we are keeping up with the timetable.
What I have been talking about is the little picture of Bum Steers. The big picture is understanding what a Bum Steer is and how to make it work. A Bum Steer is (1) an unusual, funny incident that happens to ordinary people and sheds light on the human condition; or (2) something stupid or outrageous done by a public figure. Bum Steers are their own art form. The item must be written in a way that makes absolutely clear who the Bum Steer is on and precisely what is funny. Long, complicated items do not make good Bum Steers. Sometimes we have to choose one of three funny things in an incident, just to keep it focused. Write-ups have to be pithy and sharp. We try to make the joke come at the end of the write-up. Then the headline plays off the end of the write-up. There are so few words in a Bum Steer and in a Bum Steer headline, but it takes so much work to get each one right.
texasmonthly.com: What is your all-time favorite Bum Steer?
AD: I couldn't pick a single favorite Bum Steer—it sounds almost as hard as picking a favorite book or movie—but this year when I was sorting through the Bum Steer box, the item about Texas being the nation's leading manure-producing state struck me as almost the perfect Bum Steer. And it wasn't just the scatological possibilities for the headline.
PB: My all-time favorite Bum Steer, which means my all-time favorite headline, was an incident when Texas A&M was cited by state environmental authorities for dumping effluent into a creek, which, I swear to God, was called Shinola Creek, which led to the pluperfect headline, "Now We Know the Aggies Really Can't Tell It From Shinola." This is the case where, as sometimes happens in Bum Steers, the item isn't inherently funny but the headline saves the day. This year we had some wonderful heads: "Grab Your Crotch Gently Yet Firmly" for the same Texas Rangers' hiring of a manners coach to teach etiquette to Rangers' prospects; "Slow Traffickers Keep Right" for a car that was driving on a not-yet-open stretch of freeway; "But What Was His Punishment?" for a man who had attacked a police officer at a McDonald's and was ordered by the judge to stay out of McDonald's for five years; "Selena Some of the Time" for the cancellation of further performances of the musical, "Selena Forever." Occasional bathroom humor works; when a fire started by a soiled diaper left in the sun did serious damage to an apartment complex, the headline was, "It Was a Number-Two-Alarm Fire." I'm always happiest when I find a headline that works for

I'm having some troubles defining and passing report parameters to subreports in VS 2010. In VS 2008 in the design view I was able to right click and define the report parameter and have it passed through.
In VS 2010 that prompt is missing. So my question is, how can I pass a value from a parent report to a subreport in VS 2010?
Additionally, this is what is shown in the Report Properties dialog inside of VS 2010:
For the time being I have defined the parameter in the subreport manually in the XML but I'm receiving an error from the main report when I attempt to pass a parameter of any type to the subreport.
The error is :
An error occurred during local report processing.
Value cannot be null. Parameter name: value
Where I do not have a parameter named value defined anywhere.

I am having the similar problem with Subreport in VS2010.
When I insert a subreport into the main report Under general tab in Subreport properties It has "Use this report as a subreport" But does not have a drop down to choose from. If I type in the other report name and then click on parameters then click add the Drop down list is blank. How do I add the sub report. In vs2008 it use to have the drop down list box where I could choose the dataset for sub report that is missing here.

People's SAARC seeks free mobility across the region
Expresses solidarity with the people of NepalImmediate end sought to violence in Sri Lanka
NEW DELHI: Describing the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) meets as mere ceremonial occasions, the People's SAARC comprising Parliamentarians, writers, women's rights activists and civil society organisations from across the region has asked the official SAARC participants to adopt pro-people policies.
The People's SAARC conclave was held in Kathmandu last month. More than 10,000 people gathered to voice their concerns over the official SAARC process, where the common people's interests were totally ignored.
Releasing here on Monday the declaration adopted at Kathmandu, Arjun Karki, coordinator, South Asia Alliance for Poverty Eradication, said that SAARC, contrary to its conceived role, had failed to fulfil the aspirations of the common people. Largely, it remained an interaction among the governments, thereby aggravating the process of exclusion, denial of rights and democratic freedom.
Alternative system
The People's SAARC is an attempt to create a vision of an alternative political, socio-economic and cultural system free from the baggage of history and to create a collective beyond the artificial boundaries.
"The first step towards creating this momentum is the demand for a South Asian Parliamentary Forum with a clear aim to connect institutional democracies across the region with members of Parliament from the seven SAARC countries," said Nepal MP Ananda Pokharel.
According to social activist Kamal Mitra Chenoy, the SAARC often ended up taking up bilateral "squabbles" such as the Kashmir issue and never addressed the aspirations of the people of the region.
Women's issues
Women's issues, particularly those of Muslims, also figured in the People's SAARC. It was felt that politics of religious hate and divide was going on in the region. "The women got together to decide how to resist this kind of politics that was responsible for human rights violations. Women also sought a platform to raise their issues," said Zakia Jowhar of the Indian Muslim Women's Movement.
The declaration sought free mobility across the region, strengthening and institutionalisation of democracy, human rights and justice, besides demilitarisation and de-nuclearisation of the states.
The conclave expressed solidarity with the people of Nepal in their struggle for realising democracy and further strengthening the gains of the pro-democracy movement. It expressed concern over the present predicament of the peace process in Sri Lanka and demanded that the negotiations be recommenced and the armed hostility be ended immediately.

I miss it too. There is nothing that they now sell that I can think of as 'Burberry'. Their shareholders are happy though, for now - the share price is four times what it was in 2006. It probably makes sense for them to make things in China, as that's increasingly where their market is too.

SEATTLE- The Washington State Ferries run betwen Edmonds and Kingston was back to full service Thursday after being cut in half for nearly two days due to maintenance issues.
The ferry system tweeted that a two-boat schedule would resume late Thursday morning.
Service has been hampered since Tuesday, when the ferry Tacoma lost power on the busy Seattle-Bainbridge Island route and a ferry was shifted from the Edmonds-Kingston route, causing delays for those riders.
The problems have left Puget Sound ferry riders grumbling about long waits and disruptions during the peak summer tourism and travel season.
The two vessels required repairs at the same time two other ferries were out for scheduled maintenance, Capt. George Capacci said.
No estimate was available for the return of the Tacoma, which has an electrical problem, Capacci said.
Service should return to normal this weekend with the return of the Wenatchee, which has been in dry dock in Vancouver, British Columbia, to repair a leak.
As part of the shuffle, service was canceled Thursday and Friday on the run between Anacortes and Sidney, British Columbia. That boat was sent to restore two-boat service on the Edmonds-Kingston run.
It's an unprecedented situation we find ourselves in, Capacci told reporters in a conference call.
He apologized to riders and said the ferry system is fragile and vulnerable to disruptions due to an aging fleet and deferred maintenance.
The system had little flexibility because the Yakima is out for motor maintenance and the Kitsap for painting, Capacci said.
Washington State Ferries operates 22 vessels - the largest such fleet in the U.S. - on 10 routes across Puget Sound. State ferries carry more than 23 million commuters, tourists and business passengers a year.
The state is in the process of adding three Olympic-class ferries. The Tokitae (toh-kee-tay) is in service. Another vessel is under construction and one is planned.
The state Transportation Department also is in the process of finding a permanent ferry system director to replace David Moseley who resigned in April.

Customer Reviews of Genius MousePen 8x6 Graphics Tablet
Good product5/17/2012
This Graphic Tablet is great, makes my life so much easier. I have really enjoyed this tablet. I am a college student, and I've been able to use it in my classes to draw diagrams and to copy notes onto Microsoft OneNote. Using it, I can do my homework and save it electronically without hassling with the paper. I have very bad hand-writing, but Vista's handwriting recognition is almost perfect.
great price5/10/2012
This is a pretty good deal for the money. It's pretty nice for touching up photos, drawing, etc.
Awesome product!!!10/13/2010
Recently got me one of these and so far can't come up with no cons for this tablet other than not havinan eraser on the opposite end of the pen but that can be easily substituted for with the eraser tool in whichever software you're using. The responsiveness is flawless as is the pressure sensitivity. I've used it with both Corel Painter and Adobe Photoshop CS5 and been more than satisfied. I highly recommend this product.!!!!!
Great product - works as advertised4/4/2010
Great product - does everything I need it to do, which is basically taking handwritten notes and occasionally as a replacement for my mouse. Works perfectly in Linux with the wizardpen driver; even the pressure sensitivity works. I haven't tried using the buttons along the edges, or the included mouse, yet.
No problem for me at all5/15/2009
Just got this tablet, install the driver and plug it in. It works fine without any problem. Pressure sensitive setting works. Not dead zone as reported by other. The custom fields work as well. No problem with photoshop CS3 either. The only thing that may not be 100 percent is the pen battery compartment. It is very hard to pull open to replace the battery when necessary. Other than that it is all good. You can't beat the price. If people are really having problem with this, try download the 3.0 driver (Which it comes with now) from the website.
Nice drawing pad5/12/2009
The installation is not hard, but not easy as a USB mouse. The software come with the pad is OK for kids, Photoshop is definitely better for drawing more complex objects. However, the pen will automatically standby and becomes less sensitive after it wakes up when I use it in Photoshop (I don't know why). Overall it is working well.
I am happy that I ordered my mousepen3/17/2009
I received it as expected and it is doing everything that I needed it to do. Thank you very much!
Doesn't work with dual monitors!10/1/2008
I bought it to use with Photoshop. I gues you get what you pay for. After I hooked it up is when I discover it doesn't support dual monitors. Bummer.3 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
Not for professional use9/19/2008
I tried to use this with Google Sketchup and found it not good enough to accomplish anything. The pen mouse buttons do not function like mouse buttons and there is no way to adjust sensitivity, so it's hard to be accurate. I think this would be great for a paint program for fun or for kids. It has enough features, it's just not practical for professional use.
Works Well -- Great Deal8/22/2008
Installation was easy on XP. Comes with a suite of programs (some are trial). I have mainly used it to annotate documents I have received from students in an online math course. For that purpose, it does exactly what I needed. The included mouse is lacking, but I did not purchase the tablet for the mouse.
Been using this for about a month, and I use nothing else now! The pressure levels are GREAT if you're a Photoshop frequenter, as I am. Great for editing photographs down to a pin drop point; also very cool for creating new brushes and such. It took me a while to realize to move the mouse using the pen, not to touch the surface; just gliding your hand over the tablet is key. Another thing about this that's semi-frustrating is when using the pen, if you lift it up and move it, the cursor on the screen will jump back to where you started. I.e., when drawing long lines, if you hit the edge and move your pen, your cursor will move, too. It's an inconvenience, but if you're looking for something that will be suitable professional digital art, you might consider a Wacom. I'm still crutching on the wireless mouse, but I LOVE that it's included; when someone else not used to the pen uses my PC, all it takes to switch to the mouse is one click while on the tablet. It installed easily and quickly and works essentially perfectly for me. This tablet is really great for the beginner/intermediate user, as well as for the casual digital artist, which I think covers 90% of the people looking at this for purchase, anyway. Easy install, easy use, reliable. Combine this with the price and I highly recommend this one! :)
Good performance, especially for the price7/15/2008
It's no Wacom tablet, but it performs just like it says it will. For the price, it's just what I was looking for. The construction is not as high-quality as a Wacom tablet, but it costs hundreds less. Works just fine for my laptop.
Good for the price6/10/2008
The mouse is no user friendly. The middle roller does not go all the way around. The tablet works as advertised.
Good product6/10/2008
Pro: easily installed and works well under windows xp. Satisfied with the characters wrote with it. the low price is a plus. Con: tried twice to install on ubuntu linux 8.04 but failed.2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful
The mysterious East6/10/2008
Anything billed as Genius is automatically suspect, and I should have known better. The price is very good if you can get the thing to work. The driver will not install in the programs file, only the manual and "Uninstall". The screen image is tiny. Trial versions of expensive crapware is included on the installation disk but nothing to bring up the tablet itself. The pen itself has the most remarkable battery-holder design I have ever seen and could hardly be more paltry. Attempts to communicate with genius on its website accounts for the headline.

Perhaps we need fresh data from previously neglected kinds of insect societies. This is the approach James Costa offers in The Other Insect Societies. Costa launches the entomological equivalent of subaltern studies, focusing deliberately on species that have failed to make it to Wilson's elite grade of 'eusociality.' Readers will find in the book a fascinating wealth of information about the obscure social lives of earwigs, grasshoppers, crickets, mantids, cockroaches, aphids, treehoppers, bugs, thrips, beetles, caterpillars, sawflies, and even some non-insect anthropods. Costa's book will inevitably be compared with The Evolution of Social Behavior in Insects and Arachnids, edited by Jae C. Choe and Bernard Crespi...I am rather optimistic that, paralleling the effects of the subaltern studies of Indian historians, a focus on other insect societies will provide valuable fresh perspectives useful even for understanding present-day eusocial species...A few hours with Costa's book will bring any beginner up to date with a century's worth of scattered literature on almost everything that is known about any of the many obscure groups of insects discussed.
