Event Description
Cage Fury Fighting Championships returned to Richmond, Virginia to deliver another great night of MMA action with CFFC XXI. Pro and amateur MMA fighters from around the Mid-Atlantic area competed on this 12-bout card held that saw 6 finishes at the Richmond International Raceway as CFFC continued to keep its stranglehold on the prime MMA real estate that is Virginia as the CFFC expansion and domination continues along the Eastern seaboard.
In the main event, northern Virginia native Justin "The Butcher" Hickey (7-3) defeated Richmond's own and hometown hero Bryan "The Angry Elf" Lashomb (5-2) via majority decision after a hard fought battle in the bantamweight division by both competitors. Hickey who trains out of the world-renowned Jackson-Winkeljohn MMA camp in Albuquerque, New Mexico, set the pace early on. Hickey controlled the first round in the standup using a nice clinch as well as on the ground by controlling the action. Hickey landed a nice throw for a takedown. After a quick scramble on the ground and another takedown by Hickey, Lashomb did secure a leg of Hickey's and looked for a kneebar, but Hickey powered out of the hold and landed a series of right hands to Lashomb's face that broke the hold. They made it to their feet and again, Lashomb went for a rolling kneebar that Hickey was able to break free of. A terrific opening round. In round two, it was Lashomb that looked for a takedown as he bulled Hickey into the corner looking for a double leg. But Hickey showed off a great wrestling base but stuffing the attempt and then firing off punches to Lashomb which bloodied up Lashomb's nose and then securing a takedown against the cage of his own. Lashomb worked tirelessly to get back to his feet and he did where the two continued to throw punches and kicks as the bell sounded to end the second round. In round three, both fighters fired off strikes in the standup game. Hickey landed an overhand right that sent Lashomb to the mat and then landed a knee to Lashomb while Lashomb's hand was on the ground, prompting the ref to take away one point. That seemed to be a bit much by the ref who didn't even give a warning and both fighters where in the midst of exchanging and the strike was not thrown with malicious intent. Hickey was outraged and rightfully so. As the fight continued, Hickey continued to land strikes, but Lashomb executed a perfect slam for the takedown. Hickey got back up and was able to score one final takedown as the fight ended. A great main event.
In other action, Elder "El Psycho" Ramos defeated "Bulletproof" Bryan Lane via TKO in round one. There was some great grappling early on in this bout. Ramos landed an awkward throw to get the fight initially to the mat. After a quick scramble, Lane then got a single leg takedown of his own. Lane got Ramos' back and looked for a rear naked choke then transitioned to an armbar but Ramos stayed cool, calm and collected. Ramos escaped as both fighters got back to their feet where Ramos landed an overhand right that sent Lane crashing down to the mat. Ramos continued to hammer away on Lane on the mat until Lane was able to get to his feet where he was dropped once again by a punch. Ramos knocked Lane down a couple more times and threw about 50 more punches with most landing as the ref finally stepped in and stopped the bout.

The Minister of the Presidency, Roberto Henríquez, affirmed that "we are aware that there is still much to be done, and that the country faces new challenges as it becomes more competitive; however, these sorts of studies indicate that we are on the right path. They are a useful tool to identify our strengths, as well as those areas we have to continue working on."
According to a statement released by the Secretariat of Communications, the key factor in this accomplishment is the hard work undertaken by such government entities as ANATI, Superintendency of Securities, The Municipality of Panama, MEF-ANIP, MICI-Panama Emprende, Social Security Fund, Public Registry, AIG, and the Panama Fire Department, along with the teamwork done by the Ministry of the Presidency, through the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Competitiveness.
The 2013/14 report acknowledges these efforts and highlights Panama as one of the economies that improved in three or more indicators, due to having implemented reforms that make the country more conducive to starting and operating a company.
Panama made progress in the following indicators: Starting a Business: simplifying the registration process for new companies by interconnecting the Municipality of Panama with Panama Emprende, a portal for entrepreneurs (obtaining both the Municipal Taxpayer number and notice of operation);Registering Property: expediting the transfer of property deeds, automatically updating the deed with the Cadastral Department, increasing administrative efficiency (staff reorganization);Getting Electricity;Dealing with Construction Permits: implementing a new blueprint approval process, improving administrative efficiency, increasing the ease of registering renovations performed.
Panama also improved in the Protecting Investors indicator by disclosing more transactions and broadening information transparency for its shareholders and investors. As for Paying Taxes, income tax obligations decreased in frequency from monthly payments to four per year, and a new platform was created to declare taxes online.
The country retained its positions in the categories of Trading across Borders (11th) and Resolving Insolvency (112th).
The executive secretary of Economic Affairs and Competitiveness, Kristelle Getzler, expressed that "these results are not only an achievement for the government, but for the entire country, and are the result of a coordinated effort among various government institutions, coupled with feedback from the private sector."

Awesome portable compressor for the money!
Reviewed By Jeffrey B (Marlborough, MA) —6/2/2015 12:11 PM
I've owned and used (and worn out) numerous portable small compressors over the years (I'm 66). I must say that the VIAIR 85P is the best small compressor I've ever used. It is light in weight but operates very quickly and reasonably quietly. I would recommend it to anyone who needs a small portable compressor for their automobile.

I bought this to keep my 07 Porsche 911 tire properly inflated. This adds about 1 pound every couple of seconds to low profile tire so it works great. I agree with others that the cables could be a bit longer as I use a second car as the battery hook up.

Well worth the money to have as a back up. Much superior to the low end version ($40). It works as advertises, is strong and gets tires up to pressure. Works well on our F350 because we can hook up to either battery and therefore reach the tires easily.

Santo Breaks Ground, Sept 15, 2011
Joined by funders, partners and members of the local community the Santo Community Development Plan broke ground last Thursday, September 15, 2011.
A humble gathering under a tent in the middle of a construction site was present to celebrate an important moment in the reconstruction of Léogâne and Haiti. The Santo Community Development Plan is the largest permanent reconstruction project in the region worst affected by the 2010 earthquake. A collaboration between the Municipality of Léogâne, Habitat for Humanity, Architecture for Humanity and Haven, the project will create an urban infrastructure to support the settlement of a starter home village, schools, health facilities, recreation and community spaces as well as opportunities for commercial development.
The multi-year Santo project is being funded through the generous support from the Inter-American Development Bank-Multilateral Investment Fund; Samenwerkende Hulporganisaties (SHO)/ Cordaid – Netherlands; SAP AG; African-American Baptist Mission Collaboration—Lott Carey; Minuto de Dios; Urban Zen Foundation/New York City Housing Authority; Habitat for Humanity Great Britain (COINS and Jersey Overseas Aid Commission); Diageo Foundation; Progressive Haitian American Organization; Deerborn Charitable Trust, First Institutional Baptist Church; and Ocean Reef Foundation.
The mayor of Léogâne, Santos Alexis, and Willio Latagnac, President of the Montpelier Community Association, expressed their gratitude to all involved in bringing this project to realization.
U.S Ambassador Merten and Mark Andrews, Vice President of Haiti Recovery within Habitat for Humanity International praised the local community for their active role in the project and the design process over the last year.
A passionate speech from Marie Veronila Antoine, one of the future residents, endorsed the project and powerfully stated that "nothing can stop this project now, except for the grace of God."
Though not personally present, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter articulated his enthusiasm and excitement about the Carter Work Project which in an unprecedented move will focus on the Santo project for two years. President Carter and a team of several hundred volunteers will work alongside residents this November to build the first 150 homes.
With 140 foundations already in the ground the ceremony had a palpable reality to it. Work on site in progressing swiftly and the first 150 homes together with the physical infrastructure should be complete by the end of November with residents moving in before Christmas.
Architecture for Humanity have been working on this project since November 2010 as planners and through a community led design process on the design of the physical and social infrastructure. A full range of focus groups, community charrettes, presentations, discussions an dialogue have governed the design of the plan and the project is being tracked publicly online via the Open Architecture Network.

Forging zoos into global conservation centers, an interview with Cristian Samper, head of WCSBy: Mark Szotek, special to mongabay.com
March 25, 2013
For the Wildlife Conservation Society's new CEO, scientific principles and working partnerships are key to conservation.
A Man of Science: Dr Cristian Samper, CEO of the WCS.
Building on a long-standing tradition of commitment to environmental science, the WCS recently appointed a top global biologist, Dr. Cristian Samper, as its new President and CEO. Dr. Samper joined the WCS after serving for a decade as the Director of the Smithsonian Institute's Museum of Natural History.
Mongabay: What is your background? What first drew you to the fields of biology and conservation?
Cristian Samper: Since I am from Colombia, raised in the foothills of the Andes, I grew up surrounded by incredible nature. From a very early age, I was very curious about the environment, and it seems most of my childhood was spent collecting and studying the many local plants and animals that shared my part of the world. Naturally (and not surprisingly), I decided to pursue my education in the field of biology. Initially, I attended the University of Los Andes in Bogotá, but eventually came to the U.S. to complete my PhD at Harvard. After finishing my doctorate, I returned to Colombia, where I worked in a ten-year partnership with the Smithsonian to establish Colombia's National Biodiversity Institute. In an interesting twist, this later resulted in my return to the States to head the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History.
Still, it all started with that small boy in the foothills of the Andes. And it really is the curiosity of this small child, who always asked many questions about the natural world, which shaped the direction of my life and career. I guess from the start, I was always meant to be involved in the fields of natural history and conservation.
Mongabay: What prompted your recent move to head the Wildlife Conservation Society or WCS? What do you feel are the strengths of this organization?
Evolutionary Castaways: Lemurs are an order of primates that survive only on Madagascar. Elsewhere their role in the environment was supplanted by other more advanced primate species, like monkeys.
I had been at the Smithsonian for ten years, which was a truly a rewarding experience since it provided an opportunity to really solidify my working knowledge of the natural world. However, there was one side of me that always wanted to work with conservation directly in the field. The chance to steer the helm of the WCS was the right opportunity for me, at the right time. I am now to hoping to both better understand and document the true mechanics of nature, and also have a meaningful and lasting impact on our world by fostering solid conservation science and management. To meet the challenges of conservation, we need to comprehend fully the true nature of these problems and issues. This is the focus of the WCS, and that's why I feel so privileged to now be a part of this wonderful organization.
Mongabay: Before transitioning to the WCS, your responsibilities at the Smithsonian included managing the world's largest collection of natural history specimens. Since this would include access to numerous examples of recently extinct species, what are your views regarding the "global biodiversity extinction crisis" that many scientists feel is currently unfolding?
Cristian Samper: A difficult thing to understand about the concept of extinction is that it is an ongoing function of nature. What few people realize is that most of the species that have evolved on our planet have already disappeared. As some species have gone extinct, new ones have emerged to fill the vacated jobs or ecological niches. However, recent scientific evidence shows that an enlarged and growing human footprint in the world is accelerating the extinction rates of many groups of animals and plants at an unprecedented rate. The process is happening so rapidly that the important environmental jobs or ecological niches these species fulfilled now remain vacant. As more species disappear, the vital roles or jobs they played in their environment ends with them. And these vacancies are undermining the health of the world's ecosystems on which all life depends, and that includes us. This is a very serious issue that we need to do something about. Yet, we still don't even have a complete grasp of all the species of plants and animals that make up our world, much less the roles they play within environment or the impact if these species are lost. We need to better understand this process to hopefully manage and correct. Since my view has always been that strong scientific data is needed to make informed decisions and policies, I believe this is the main role for groups like the Smithsonian and the WCS. And though accumulating knowledge is central, immediate actions are also needed. Building on our wealth of science and our direct field presence across the globe, I am hoping the WCS will be in position to balance a measured scientific approach with appropriate steps to meet current conservation challenges.
A Friend of the Tiger: Dr Ullas Karanth of the WCS India.
Mongabay: You've been very active in biodiversity conservation in Central and South America. What environmental challenges do these regions face? What other global biodiversity "hotspots" warrant greater attention?
Cristian Samper: Well, it really depends on what part of Latin America we are talking about, as it's a big place. The drivers of change or damage for most of the Andes region of Colombia happened fifty to a hundred years ago, and the situation there is more or less stabilized. However, in areas like the Amazon Basin, the damage is ongoing and tied to a surge in regional economic activity. New roads and infrastructure are being built across Latin America, accelerating the conversion of rain forests and grasslands into agriculture, with crops often ill-suited to the region. In Brazil's Mato Grosso region, soy and cattle are quickly turning what had been thriving forests and grasslands into unproductive, ravaged wastelands where cattle, soy, and other agriculture eventually fail to thrive as local environments degenerate without the native species that maintained the health of the region. This same process is happening in our local waters and marine environments where overfishing or the threat of non-native and invasive species (introduced by man) like the Lionfish, are turning what had been thriving fisheries, upon which many people depended, into distant memories. And these memories won't feed local people and their families
In terms of other parts of the world, there are many areas under similar threats.
Where the Wild Things Are, And Their Champion. Famed conservationist Dr George Scahller of the WCS. The Tibetan Antelope or 'chiru,' and the snow leopard of Central Asia; among the many species he's championed.
For example, I just returned from spending ten days within the Congo rainforest of Central Africa which, on the surface, seems vast and wild. But even there, growing pressures from mining, logging, and agriculture are eroding one of the world's great rainforest and biodiversity hotspots. While there is legitimate need for many countries to utilize natural resources that are available to them, the key is to develop sustainable practices for the long-term viability of these resources and the continued well-being of their people. The question is: can we find the right balance between conservation and development? I think we can, but it will be a combination of identifying and preserving some of the last great wild areas of our planet and developing sustainable policies that work with, not against, the local environments in which people live and hope to prosper. And in some areas of the world, we may need to actively work to restore what's been lost. Increasingly that's a role for the world's zoos and aquariums, which have emerged as safe houses for many of the planet's most threatened species. However, it's not just a matter of saving individual species like a tiger or a polar bear. An awareness of the roles these species and many others play in fostering vibrant and thriving ecosystems, which have broad impact and benefits for both animals and people alike, is essential.
I'd like people to think of the world's ecosystems and environment as finely tuned machines, honed and crafted by nature over the millennia. Now, if we come in and start haphazardly removing parts from these systems (or "machines"), how can we expect them to function at optimal levels? Let's build on this line of thought with an analogy to a machine familiar to most people, the automobile. If a person without a sense of automotive mechanics were to start working on your car, randomly removing parts without knowledge of function, would you expect that car to run afterward? That is why the science of conservation is so vital. We need to properly understand the processes of nature to conserve, restore, and maintain the environmental systems on which we all depend.
Mongabay: The WCS is often billed as a benchmark or standard for growing partnerships between zoological facilities and direct field conservation works (in the case of the WCS, the Bronx Zoo and related NYC facilities). How do you feel that modern zoos can better connect the public with frontline conservation?
Cristian Samper: I feel that zoos, aquariums, and facilities like the Smithsonian should offer the public a window into the wide and wonderful natural world that is really our shared heritage. It's an opportunity for most people who will never have the chance to go to the Congo, or to Himalayas, or the African Savannah's, etc., to come into contact with wild animals and by extension the entire ecosystems that these species represent. And that connection is so important, especially for people who live in large cities, which are increasingly disconnected from nature. Since we live in a planet that is becoming highly urbanized, I think zoos and aquariums help the public better understand the natural systems that make all life on this planet possible. And what people understand, hopefully, they will appreciate. And what they appreciate, hopefully, they will work to protect.
The ability to connect field conservation work and scientific research directly with the public is one of the main reasons that I was drawn to joining the WCS team. The WCS is one of the world's oldest environmental organizations, having been in operation for over 117 years. From the very beginning we have had the mandate of running facilities like the Bronx Zoo, while working to launch scientific expeditions around the globe. But we haven't always linked these two key activities together in eyes of the general public, though building that link is a true and lasting value. But we're now taking great efforts to connect both of these core activities with the public.
One of my favorite exhibits at the Bronx Zoo is the Congo Gorilla Forest Exhibit. It offers our visitors a feel of the Congo and the area's biodiversity richness. Through interactive, educational exhibits, it's a showcase for our field work projects that are working to save this truly magical place. Although I've built a career in biology, I had no idea of the unique and rare qualities of this far off place, until I visited a mini-version of this ecosystem that was built by our team, right here in the Bronx! This inspired my recent trip to the Congo and it sharpened my resolve to help both its wildlife and local people.
Thriving in a Slice of the Congo Set in the Bronx: Lowland Gorillas of the WCS's Congo Gorilla Forest.
Mongabay: Since you are family man (having both a young son and daughter), do you think environmental education for young people is vital? How do you feel it's best to engage young people regarding the environment?
Cristian Samper: Public education is really essential when it comes to environmental issues, and children respond very well in this area. Young children seem to have this very natural interest in plants and animals. If you ever watch a small child with something as simple as a butterfly, you'll see this sense of curiosity and wonder. With the numerous distractions of the modern world, many people lose sight of their connection with nature, and I believe that this is accelerating an increasingly urban world. When the public is disconnected from nature they can make decisions and support policies that work against the health of the global environment (which is really acting against their own real interests). So, how do you genuinely engage young people or anyone really, to consider the environment? You offer them the opportunity to experience a little bit of nature, firsthand. I believe this is one of the most important roles of a modern zoo: the opportunity to offer the public a small, but tangible window into the beauty of the natural world. I feel that we need this sense of appreciation and connection more than ever.
Mongabay: In closing, what are your overall goals for the WCS, going forward?

Seeing the forest through the elephants: slaughtered elephants taking rainforest trees with them
(03/11/2013) Elephants are vanishing. The booming illegal ivory trade is decimating the world's largest land animal, but no place has been harder hit than the Congo basin and its forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis). The numbers are staggering: a single park in Gabon, Minkebe National Park, has seen 11,100 forest elephants killed in the last eight years; Okapi Faunal Reserve in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has lost 75 percent of its elephants in fifteen years; and a new study in PLoS ONE estimates that in total 60 percent of the world's forest elephants have been killed in the last decade alone. But what does that mean for the Congo forest?
Captive frogs may be spreading diseases to wild cousins across Southeast Asia
(03/07/2013) Scientists have documented a series of links between exotic frogs for trade and diseases in wild frogs in Southeast Asia, including the first documented case of the chytrid fungus—a virulent and lethal disease—in Singapore. According to researchers writing in a new study in EcoHealth, frogs imported into Southeast Asia as pets, food, or traditional medicine are very likely spreading diseases to wild populations.
What happened to the elephants of Bouba Ndjida? [warning: graphic photos]
(03/07/2013) A new report released by the Wildlife Conservation Society says that poachers have killed a staggering 62 percent of Africa's forest elephants in the last decade. The insatiable demand for elephant ivory hails mainly from China and Thailand, which is ironically hosting this year's CITES (CoP16) meeting. The meeting will continue until March 13 2013. The study is based on a survey of five elephant range states including Cameroon. Cameroon is the home of Bouba Ndjida National Park, where the dizzying massacre of 650 elephants occurred last year.
The end of wild Africa?: lions may need fences to survive
(03/06/2013) In order for dwindling lion populations to survive in Africa, large-scale fencing projects may be required according to new research in Ecology Letters. Recent estimates have put lion populations down to 15,000-35,000, a massive drop from a population that was thought to be around 100,000 in 1960. The worsening plight of lions have pushed the researchers to suggest what is likely to be a controversial proposal: fence the top predators in.
Warnings of global ecological tipping points may be overstated
(03/05/2013) There's little evidence that the Earth is nearing a global ecological tipping point, according to a new Trends in Ecology and Evolution paper that is bound to be controversial. The authors argue that despite numerous warnings that the Earth is headed toward an ecological tipping point due to environmental stressors, such as habitat loss or climate change, it's unlikely this will occur anytime soon—at least not on land. The paper comes with a number of caveats, including that a global tipping point could occur in marine ecosystems due to ocean acidification from burning fossil fuels. In addition, regional tipping points, such as the Arctic ice melt or the Amazon rainforest drying out, are still of great concern.
A promising initiative to address deforestation in Brazil at the local level
(03/05/2013) The history of the Brazilian Amazon has long been marked by deforestation and degradation. Until recently the situation has been considered out of control. Then, in 2004, the Brazilian government launched an ambitious program to combat deforestation. Public pressure—both national and international—was one of the reasons that motivated the government to act. Another reason was that in 2004, deforestation contributed to more than 55 percent of Brazil's total greenhouse gas emissions, making Brazil the fourth-largest greenhouse gas emitter in the world.
Extinction warning: racing to save the little dodo from its cousin's fate
(03/04/2013) Sometime in the late 1600s the world's last dodo perished on the island of Mauritius. No one knows how it spent its final moments—rather in the grip of some invasive predator or simply fading away from loneliness—but with its passing came an icon of extinction, that final breath passed by the last of its kind. The dodo, a giant flightless pigeon, was a marvel of the animal world: now another island ground pigeon, known as the little dodo, is facing its namesake's fate. Found only in Samoa, composed of ten islands, the bird has many names: the tooth-billed pigeon, the Manumea (local name), and Didunculus ("little dodo") strigirostris, which lead one scientist to Christen it the Dodlet. But according to recent surveys without rapid action the Dodlet may soon be as extinct as the dodo.
Bolivia leads the way in wetland protection
(03/04/2013) Bolivia continues to be a champion for Amazonian conservation. On February 2, 2013, Bolivia celebrated World Wetlands Day with the designation of more than 6.9 million hectares of the Llanos de Moxos to the Ramsar Convention's Wetlands of International Importance. In addition to being the largest Ramsar designation to date, Bolivia now claims 14.8 million hectares of protected wetland, making it the leading Contracting Party out of 164 participating countries in terms of Ramsar site surface area.

It was just what we needed. An adventure down to Tasmania to finish off one hell of a year. Thanks to the hard work of our Tassie friend Michelle we made our way south for a cooking and rabbit-stripping demonstration she organised for me at Mona, the art jewel of Hobart.
Road tripping sights.
I love the beauty of mixing a bit of work with pleasure. We left the mainland after the Hobart demo was done and road tripped to Bruny Island via the beautiful Huon Valley.
Bruny Island, even though it's dotted with plenty of established farms and houses, has managed to retain a certain wildness and rawness which I was immediately drawn to. My wild man instincts went a bit crazy, in fact I wasn't the only one affected by this embracing of wildness. Henry boy had what we called a case of Lagoon Fever where he ran wild like he'd been stung by a swarm of bees. We were at a place called Big Lagoon (aptly named because it is both a lagoon and large in size), and that dog ran and ran, seemingly covering kilometres in seconds. He slept like an angel that night (but snored like a drunken lord).
Big Lagoon, where the wind was so powerful, all proper fly fishing casting techniques go out the window.
We spent most of the time fishing and foraging for the most beautiful food. Oysters were mind-blowing, straight off the rocks and down the gullet. The mussels were some of the finest, cooked in garlic and wine, simple stuff but wowsers!
The days spent in the little boat were the best. Kate's papa Warwick (aka Wazza, Wayne, Gary, Grampa James Brown, Darren, Ramish) was kind enough to let us take the boat for a few days in Adventure Bay.
Late each afternoon he'd drive on the beach to pick us up and we'd then head over the rolling hills of Adventure Bay up the steep drive to his humble island retreat where we'd fillet the fish and cook them all kinds of ways.
Here is a man who has worked like a dog all his working career, and now he lives a life with almost nothing, but in fact he appears to have everything he ever wanted. It's obvious to me that he made the choice to simplify life, and he's actually been successful. If you ever meet the bloke you'd understand why, it suits his "I can do what ever I want" approach to life. He's a pig in poo down there, what a breezy life he lives.
Warwick's clever outdoor kitchen table he crafted with salvage timber complete with sunken herb garden. He could sell these tables. But he probably couldn't be stuffed. I don't blame him.
How rad are the little raised beds made from salvaged stuff?!
He's (Warwick) inadvertently put me back on track, in regards to simplifying things. This year has been both cursed and blessed. It's almost at the end, and I'm feeling like positive changes are afoot. For now, I'm just having a few days of doing very little and dreaming of being back on wild Bruny Island eating oysters off the rocks.
Thanks Kate for letting me steal most of your images, and sorry I was in holiday mode and reluctant to get the camera out.

11 Brilliant Inventions From Popular Science's Best of What's New 2008
5. Popular Science Best of What's New 2008 Gadget Award: 3M MPro 110
Ushering in a new wave of digital displays, the 3M MPro (micro-projector) uses LED technology to bring a projector size down to the size of an iPhone. Right now the device is an accessory to a computer or other handhelds, but by next year it is "projected" to be an embedded component of handheld technologies from cell phones to cameras. The 3M Pro displays at standard TV quality (640 by 480 pixels) and projects up to a 50 inch diagonal image in a dark room -- a 10 inch diagonal in bright rooms. Available here. (See runners-up in the Gadget category.)

6. Popular Science Best of What's New 2008 Green Award: EcoRock
Finally, there's a new drywall technology and it's green! Called EcoRock, the compound is made of 20 different materials that are industrial by-products And the compound is so green that it congeals without heat, but with water. Serious Materials tried out 5,000 recipes before finding EcoRock, which costs about the same as high-end drywall. What is definitely cost saving about EcoRock is that it is impervious to mold and termites!
Drywall, invented in 1917, is made of ground-up gypsum rock which, heating in 500 degree kilns, producing 20 billion pounds of greenhouse gases per year. (See runners-up in the green tech category.)
7. Popular Science Best of What's New 2008 Health Award: Recellularized Heart
Under the heading Believe It Or Not, a biologist at the University of Minnesota, Doris Taylor, has discovered a way to make heart transplants more successful. By removing the cells of the donor heart and replacing them with the patient's cells, a "recellularized heart" would reduce waiting time for donated heart organs and minimize the risk of patient rejection of the new heart.
Currently, about half of the patients receiving heart transplants die within five years, despite current repair procedures and drugs available to minimize rejection. Ms. Taylor has perfected her procedure in rats and expects, if all goes well, that the new transplant procedure will be available for humans in about 10 years. (See runners-up in the Health category.)
8. Popular Science Best of What's New 2008 Home Entertainment Award: Sony XEL-1 OLED Television
Sony's first organic light-emitting diode (OLED) TV is only 3 millimeters thin, produces unbeatable color and the highest contrast possible in a TV. Years in development, Sony was able to produce only an 11 inch screen in OLED, because a special glass is needed for OLED circuitry, which is not produced in large sheets. Once retooling is done to accommodate a larger screen, Popular Science is predicting other TV manufacturers will jump in and, in the meantime, Sony will be making OLED TV's thin enough to stick on your wall. But for right now, Sony is the pioneer. Available for sale here.

Nairobi — The International Sweet Potato Centre has launched a $21.25 million research project in Uganda that will develop nutritionally enhanced sweet potatoes, in a project to reduce health problems related to vitamin A deficiency and improve food security in sub-Saharan Africa.
Vitamin A is necessary for good eyesight, healthy skin and for building the immune system.
The centre works in developing countries to help reduce poverty and increase food security through scientific research related to sweet potatoes and other root crops.
The five-year research project, named Sweet Potato Action for Security and Health in Africa is one of nine such projects benefiting from the $120 million Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation investment to support smallscale farmers in Africa and India.
This grant brings to $1.4 billion the amount of money the foundation has committed to agricultural efforts in the world to date.
In addition to nutritional enhancement, the research will employ both conventional methods and biotechnology to create at least 20 locally adapted sweet potatoes varieties resistance to drought, virus and diseases.
Biotechnology will be used to develop weevil resistant varieties.
An earlier study proved that the orange-fleshed sweet potato already in the market can drastically bring down impacts of vitamin A-deficiency that threaten an estimated 43 million children under the age of five in sub- Saharan Africa.
"We have already proven this in South Africa and in western Kenya but we want to see it in action and that is what this project is set out to do," said Dr Robert Mwanga, an expert on the crop.
Sweet potato is the third most important food crop in production in seven East and Central African countries, with Uganda leading at 2.5 million tonnes annual production.
It is an easy crop to grow as it requires less labour and can grow in marginal land and can withstand dry conditions.
Yet the potential of the crop has remained largely untapped.
The project is designed to improve food security and livelihoods of poor families by exploiting the untapped potential of the sweet potato, which includes its use in confectionery and animal feed.

I think it could use some other objects in focus besides the figures. Everything else is very blurry and I don't think its very balanced like that. I am thinking something like pillars with engravings on them in the foreground, or a ruined structure in the background, also with some architectural detail to take away form the almost total abstraction of the environment.

Like I've said here and here andhere and here and here and here and etc., Americans have become far to fixated on religious representation in politics. From the blog that tells us all about God talk on the presidential campaign trail:
Mitt Romney, the presidential candidate most disadvantaged by his personal religious faith, said earlier this month that "based on the numbers of American Muslims [as a percentage] in our population, I cannot see that a cabinet position would be justified."
"But of course," Romney continued. "I would imagine that Muslims could serve at lower levels of my administration."
You can read all about Romney's remarks today's Christian Science Monitor, in a not-to-be-missed op-ed by Mansoor Ijaz, a Muslim investor who asked Romney about Muslim appointees at a fundraiser earlier this month. Here's the Romney team's response.
Ijaz does a perfectly good job refuting Romney himself, so God-o-Meter will only state the obvious. How can a presidential candidate whose Mormon faith accounts for just 2-percent of the American population rule out a Muslim in his cabinet on the basis that Islam has too few American adherents?

Yahoo is expanding the online ad partnership it struck with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia over the fall to include the domestic diva's magazine, as well as her TV and radio programs. This past weekend, MSLO began running the first of eight custom webisodes it produced with Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO). The videos feature Martha and Yahoo Web Life editor Heather Cabot (see left) talking about a variety of topics that are intended to subtly suggest ways MSLO's audience can use Yahoo to e-mail their holiday greetings and thank-you notes as well as manage their money. The talks with Cabot will also be translated to advertorials in the magazine.
Over the past year, MSLO's online ad revenue has been mixed, while its general publishing and broadcast dollars have been as challenged as other media companies. The deal with Yahoo should help MSLO meet its expectations of an improved Q4, which is typically the media company's strongest period. The deal also represents the growth of MSLO's online video business. The company began testing pay-to-download videos last spring.
Yahoo's Cabot has appeared on Martha's TV show four times since Yahoo kicked off its $100 million branding campaign this fall. "There were some smaller, online-only advertorials that we've done, but this is our first cross-platform deal with Yahoo," said Janet Balis, MSLO's EVP of Media Sales & Marketing, in an interview with paidContent. The company expects to do similar deals next year, especially around major holidays.
On the Yahoo side, while its ad campaign has also been criticized for lacking a clear coherent message, the tie-in with MSLO should help attract the general female audience its been seeking to build since launching its female-focused Shine channel in March '08.
The partnership came together just before Yahoo kicked off the last fall, as Yahoo was starting its branding campaign. "We weren't just looking for paid media, but a content partner as well," said Penny Baldwin, Yahoo's SVP, global integrated marketing and brand management. Part of the goals of the campaign was to showcase the interlocking parts of Yahoo's products and services. In the case of the MSLO deal, Yahoo hopes to attract MSLO's audience to its female-focused Shine channel, while also getting more users for services like the Flickr photo site and Yahoo e-mail. "We

I never said its bad to ride a nice big bike, and I have had them, I have a problem with people thinking they NEED a big bike to do anything on.
Over and over I hear people say an 883 is too small to take on the hiway, or you need 80+ hp just to be safe riding, or a bike is a joke because it only has 40 hp and so on.
I am not very interested in reading about someone riding cross country on the latest BMW or big Harley, gold wing, etc, it happens every day. But when someone gets an old/small bike for $50.00 and does it, its interesting to me.
Take one of the big bikes in the dirt, and its interesting, slab on a little bike and its interesting, get a very old bike and do anything with it and its interesting.
Tour on your gold wing, it might be nice, but its not really interesting unless its in the dirt.
I DO find it interesting when someone takes any big heavy bike in the rough dirt, the story often includes nice X rays of broken bones and details about spot operation, helicopters, etc.
Lets face it, you get almost no respect if you ride a small bike in the US.
So I tend to buck the trend and give little respect to people who ride big bikes on the street.
If all it takes is a bunch of money, I tend to not respect the thing, whatever it is.
Not that I dislike it, or think its wrong, I just do not respect it.
If someone goes out and BUYS a fast car, thats fine, if someone BUILDS a fast car, that gets my respect.
I know I am odd, and not like the others....

In Italian with English captions
Egypt under the joint rule of Cleopatra and her younger brother Ptolemy, 48 B.C.
Julius Caesar has pursued his enemy Pompey into Egypt and defeated his armies.
Pompey's wife Cornelia and son Sextus are taken under Caesar's protection,
and Caesar even offers to forgive Pompey if he surrenders directly to him. But Ptolemy,
Pompey's ally and joint ruler of Egypt, sends Pompey's head to Caesar.
Horrified by this act, Caesar tells Ptolemy's general Achillas (who brought the head)
that he will punish Ptolemy for this deed.
At the Egyptian court, Cleopatra learns of Caesar's conquests and resolves to
seduce the Roman in her bid to become the sole ruler of Egypt. Meanwhile, Achillas tells
Ptolemy that his gift earned him Caesar's anger. Achillas offers to kill Caesar and
win Ptolemy sole power over Egypt if Achillas can have Pompey's wife Cornelia for
his bride. Ptolemy agrees to this bargain.
Cleopatra arrives at Caesar's camp disguised as a servant named Lydia. She enlists
Caesar's aid against Ptolemy. Mourning the loss of her husband, Cornelia attempts suicide
but her son Sextus stops her. He vows to avenge his father and the pair plot to kill Ptolemy.
Cleopatra overhears their plans and promises to help them gain entry into the palace.
Once in the palace, however, Cornelia and Sextus are captured. Cornelia is sent to the
seraglio while Sextus is imprisoned. Ptolemy decides to take Cornelia for himself, cheating
Achillas. Cleopatra's servant Nirenus frees Sextus and advises the young man that the
best time to take his revenge is when Ptolomy is in the seraglio with Cornelia.
Cleopatra has several meetings with Caesar in the palace. The pair fall in love and Caesar
asks Cleopatra to marry him. She finally reveals her true identity. Caesar's friend
Curius arrives to warn the pair about a plot to kill Caesar. Cleopatra promises her support and
tells her lover to flee while he can. He is determined to face Ptolemy and leaves Cleopatra in
order to do battle.
In the seraglio, Achillas warns Ptolemy that Cleopatra is plotting against him. Sextus tries
to kill Ptolemy but is defeated by Achillas. Once again, Achillas demands Cornelia as payment for
his services, but Ptolemy refuses. Cornelia sends her son off, telling him to be brave and wait
for another chance at Ptolemy.
Later, at the port of Alexandria, Achillas decides to help Cleopatra. Ptolemy's armies
have defeated Cleopatra's forces and the queen has been taken prisoner. Wounded in an earlier
battle, Achillas confesses that he killed Pompey and gives Sextus a seal which will give the young
man command over his warriors. Caesar, presumed drowned in a sea battle, washes ashore, just in time
to hear Achillas's confession and to take the seal from Sextus. Caesar promises to rescue
Cleopatra and Cornelia with these fresh troops.
At Ptolemy's palace, Cleopatra prepares to die, but Caesar arrives in time to defeat
Ptolemy's guards. Sextus finds his mother defending herself from Ptolomy's advances.
Sextus kills Ptolomy.
Cleopatra offers Caesar the crown and scepter of Egypt, but he returns them to her and crowns
her Queen of Egypt. Caesar and Cleopatra declare their love for each other to their subjects as
well as peace for all of Egypt.

An independent Kenyan monitoring group will send 7,000 non-partisan observers and data collectors to polling stations around the country to evaluate the March 4th elections, Kenya's Daily Nation reported Monday (February 18th).
The Elections Observation Group (Elog) intends to provide an alternative account of the quality of the polls and the credibility of the results provided by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), said Elog steering committee member Peter Alingo.
"We will not ask for the opinions of voters. This will be based on direct observations and polling stations," Alingo said. "This will help clear uncertainties by providing validation to the results given by the IEBC."
Observers will be looking at voting behaviour, voter security, time spent in the polling booth, clerks' professionalism, and the polls' opening and closing times. Findings will be sent to a data centre in Nairobi as they are collected, which Elog says will allow it to help prevent voting malpractice.

"Suppliers and outside workers play a key role in improving the competitiveness of the business. While seeking the keenest competitive edge, the Group bases it relations with suppliers and outside workers on fairness, impartiality, and ensuring equal opportunities for all parties concerned. The Pirelli Group requires that its suppliers and outside workers comply with the principles and rules in this Code."
(Ethical Code – Suppliers and Outside Workers).
|Sustainability of Supply Chain
|Mapping of Purchases
Relations with suppliers are defined and enforced by specific Company processes. There are two fundamental underlying phases to supplier management:
- approval of new suppliers;
- monitoring of vendor (Vendor Rating).
The vendor's sustainability is assessed in an independent audit, as illustrated in detail elsewhere in this section.
The Vendor Rating covers all merchandise and geographical areas of purchase and is used as an integral component of commercial negotiations. These procedures are supported by a special website available online through the Purchasing Portal. This website supports the Regulations (including the Purchasing Manual, General Conditions to be applied to suppliers), the Vendor List, surveys, Vendor Rating with feedback and the definition of support actions. This portal provides both an assurance of process uniformity and a guarantee of transparency, in addition to being a communications, on-going training and knowledge sharing tool.
In view of shared development, the processes of dialogue and interaction with suppliers are the object of process improvement, in terms of both quality and tools. Specifically, the Vendor Rating results are regularly revised and commented on by the Purchasing Department. This process involves meetings organised with the vendors, aimed at identifying any corrective actions or measures to improve performance. Each purchase contract includes the name of the buyer contact, to provide the vendor with a company channel that is always available for any feedback.
In 2013 Pirelli organised a series of training sessions for strategic suppliers. The sessions concerned aspects of occupational law, human rights, environmental respect and business ethics, which form the basis for the Pirelli policies detailed in the sustainability clauses.
Training involved the suppliers identified as strategic, coming from Italy, Germany, UK, Romania, Russia, Turkey, Egypt, US, Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Singapore, China, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. Following the online training session, the suppliers have been asked to answer a mandatory test aimed at establishing and monitoring the effectiveness of the training action.
Independent audits of vendor sustainability
The Company commissions independent audits from leading specialised firms to review compliance by Pirelli vendors with their ethical, social and environmental responsibilities, as provided inter alia in the sustainability clauses that they sign.
The independent audits were carried out both at the Pirelli sites, where the suppliers provide services with their own personnel, and at their administrative facilities. Workers, supervising managers and union representatives are interviewed on specific issues as part of these audits. The auditors use a checklist of sustainability parameters based on the SA8000® standard, the Pirelli Health, Occupational Safety, Environment and Social Responsibility Policy and the Pirelli Ethical Code, and thus in compliance with the provisions of the Group's sustainability clauses signed by the vendors. At the central level, a team comprised by the Group Sustainability and Purchasing Departments defines the guidelines for selection of the vendors to be audited, while supporting the corresponding local departments that will manage the process, training and informing them about the purpose and procedures of the audit.
