A lightweight high-traction sole holds up better than conventional motorcycle "bootie" type rain footwear. An easy-on/easy-off design makes them quick to use. Black.

Show More A great experience with Dr. Bresnick and his staff. A+ results from my lift with gummy bear implants.
1 out of 5 stars Breast Lift with Implants
Just Wanted my Boobs Back! - Encino, CA
Show More He was on the arrogant side, but I mistakingly took that for experience. Doesn't do what's discussed in your consult. Had complications due to his error, he made an effort to fix it, but the damage was done. Scarring wasn't too back though- he prides himself on his "good stitch". I just wish he'd done what we discussed.
5 out of 5 stars Breast Implant Revision
2nd Breast Implant Revision! - Encino, CA
Show More The very best skilled and caring Doctor one can have!
5 out of 5 stars Breast Reconstruction
Dr Bresnick Saved My Life - Encino, CA

Explant and Lift Around the Corner - Los Angeles, CA
Show More Will let you know post op :-) fingers crossed
5 out of 5 stars Breast Implant Revision
Revision After Implant Deflation - Encino, CA
Show More A truly skilled surgeon. Dr. Bresnick is extremely experienced and knowledgeable, confident without seeming obnoxiously arrogant, able to communicate clearly, and able to listen attentively. He is genuinely invested in and passionate about his work. I am not the easiest of patients. I am extremely vigilante and contacted him with every concern. He called me back immediately and met with me within an hour to assess my post operative progress. My only gripe is that Dr. Bresnick's nurse met with me during my scheduled post operative visits. She also removed my stiches. Personally, I would have more comfortable if Dr. Bresnick checked my stiches before they were removed. Nevertheless, I couldn't be happier with my results. Dr. Bresnick is an artist!

Usability Problems with Twitter and FacebookUsability expert Jakob Nielsen (left) has interesting things to say about the user experience of reading updates on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace. Key takeaways:
First, "People appreciated this user interface's utter simplicity: no special effort or commands were required beyond looking down the list and maybe scrolling a bit."
Second, "Users didn't seek out past postings that they might have missed; they were content to read only the newest information. So, once your message drops off a user's main page, it might as well not exist. Users who continue browsing messages on the second page are almost unheard of."
That leads to a third point: "If you post too rarely, your material will drift out of users' active timestreams before they visit again. But, if you post too much, you'll crowd out other messages."
And finally, "Users depend on the ability to scan down a stream to pick out logos and user names, but this basic need was often thwarted." For example, "The problems start with something as simple as the choice of username. For example, the United States Department of Education's Twitter ID was "usedgov," which sounded to users like "used government" and was off-putting."
We considered these issues carefully when designing StockTalk, Seeking Alpha's twitter-like platform:
- We made sure that StockTalks are browsable by ticker symbol -- the author just needs to include the symbol in capital letters. That allows readers to view StockTalks by symbol, increasing the value of the author's archive and allowing readers to judge an author's track record.
- We kept full names for users, so you don't have to guess who the author is from their user name. That's crucial, because authors can only generate customer leads or enhance their careers or reputations in other ways if they are recognizable.

How Money Managers and Financial Advisers Are Using the WebA survey of finanical advisors by Kasina LLC found that investment professionals are increasingly looking for information on the open Internet, reaching outside the closed professional tools they've historically relied on.
In response to the question "How has the amount of time you spend online changed over the last 12 months?", 22.3% indicated that their usage has increased by more than three hours a week, while another 28% said it has increased by one to three hours a week.
Davis Janowski, writing for Investment News, illustrates this with comments by money managers and financial advisors. Richard Cox Sr. (pictured), the chief investment manager of Cox Wealth Management LLC, says that in addition to Dorsey Wright's daily asset-leveling program and Morningstar's historical data, he's "a fan of Seeking Alpha, which provides the views of fellow investing professionals and gives him ideas."
We recently received detailed survey data on Seeking Alpha's readership from Nielsen. It found that, of the leading finance websites (those with over two million unique monthly visitors), Seeking Alpha has the highest percentage of investment professionals among its readership.

Photo: Kentucky Coaches Are Redefining "BBN" To Convince 4-Star WR To Join Wildcats
The Kentucky football program has been on fire when it comes to recruiting — believe it or not, the Wildcats currently have the number one recruiting class for 2014. Many fans have been wondering what Marks Stoops has been selling to kids.
John Calipari thinks that the recruits have been flocking because "families trust Kentucky with their kids", but today, we got somewhat of an inside look at one of Stoops' recruiting pitches.
One of the prospects that the Wildcats have been recruiting, 4-star wide receiver Blake Bone, tweeted out this picture of several recruitment letters that he had received:
Lol at UK . pic.twitter.com/a3dd7myZ5t
— Ghost.™ (@KingOfEights_8) June 21, 2013
It appears that the coaches are trying to change the famous "BBN" acronym to a wide receiver fan club! Of course, it will always stand for Big Blue Nation to Wildcats fans, but you get the point that Mark Stoops is trying to get across — Blake Bone is a natural fit for the football program.
Bone is reportedly down to four final schools for his college choice: South Carolina, Louisville, Ole Miss, and Kentucky. We should know soon enough whether or not Blake Bone Nation will be the next big thing in Lexington.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Iginla Hurt- Details Sketchy
by Paul on 01/05/07 at 12:44 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the Calgary Sun,
Chants of "Iggy, Iggy" that punctuated the fight gave way to a sombre buzz in the building when fans started noticing their leader had gone straight to the dressing room after serving his five minutes.
With team doctors tending to Iginla throughout the third period, Flames officials reported late in the evening Iginla had suffered a lower-body injury and wouldn't return. That's all they'd say. While press-time speculation swirled around a possible wrist injury, coach Jim Playfair would only say the injury didn't occur during the scrap. Replays showed a pre-fight hit along the boards by Allen, suggesting Iginla's left knee twist awkwardly.
Either injury is potentially devastating for one of the league's top snipers.

Bertuzzi Slow To Recover

from the Vancouver Province,
"I just miss actually playing the game so much. I guess it's not surprising in that I don't really have any hobbies and I've played most of my life. But seeing the guys out there and not being able to help is a terrible feeling."
Bertuzzi is still haunted by "the incident" now almost three years ago but he's obviously not at liberty to talk about anything pursuant to Steve Moore's civil suit.
What he's trying to focus on is getting hockey back into his life and resuming what was his life before this all happened.
"I'm really disappointed I'm not going to be able to come back to Vancouver to play but I really feel sorry for the fans here in Florida who thought they were getting a player to help."

Lack Of Interest
by Paul on 01/05/07 at 12:35 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the Montreal Gazette,
For the Capitals, even a burgeoning superstar is not enough. After devoting not a single column inch to the Caps in its nine-page Wednesday sports section, the Post came back with a story yesterday on declining attendance at the Verizon Centre.
The Post's story put the Capitals average attendance this season at 13,103 going into last night's game against the Canadiens, down 800 fans a game from last season and 4,000 from what the Caps were drawing five years ago. And because the NHL counts tickets distributed, that number bares little or no resemblance to the actual count of fannies in the seats.
Night after night, Ovechkin is playing in front of a half-empty arena. It's a terrible waste, like Vladimir Guerrero toiling in front of 6,000 fans at the Big O - but it doesn't appear that anything short of a Stanley Cup is going to bring out the fans in Washington.

Recognizing Briere
by Paul on 01/05/07 at 11:44 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
Even though Briere, a 5-foot-10, 178-pound center, is a core player on an elite team, he is not one of hockey's best-known personalities. That he has fared so well in the all-star voting suggests he isn't entirely unknown, although it's hardly out of the question that Sabres partisans are responsible for most of the support he has gotten.
Briere works in a modest-sized market and is part of a club that emphasizes collective accomplishments, even though its lineup is studded with big-time talents. Not that Briere frets much about any lack of public recognition he might have outside the Niagara Frontier.
"It's not about myself, or anybody personally," he said. "We're a team, a team that relies a lot on everybody chipping in. I wouldn't have it any other way…."

from the Bangor Daily News,
It's only the second time in the last 21 years that Gary Thorne has faced the prospect of going through an entire winter and spring without calling any NHL action.
His life as a professional broadcaster is no less hectic, but things have been unsettling for the Old Town native the last three months.
"I've got plenty of work to stay busy, but with something you were close to, it feels like there's something missing," said the 58-year-old Thorne. "When you're around it for that long a period and that much out of each year, you have a personal stake in it. It's a hole and it's something you wish you could fill."

Patrik Stefan's Really Bad Night

The closing few seconds of the Dallas v Edmonton game Thursday night, and a very embarrassing moment for 1999's first overall draft pick, Patrik Stefan. Said Dallas Stars defenceman Darryl Sydor afterwards:
"That was bizarre. Seconds left with an empty net and then it's down in our end and tie game. I've never seen any thing like that and you probably won't see anything like that again for a long time."

Blues Tie NHL Record

From the AP via SLAM,
Goalie Manny Legace likes the way the St. Louis Blues have started games lately.
Lee Stempniak and Dennis Wideman scored goals to lead the Blues to a 2-0 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Thursday night.
St. Louis has not given up a goal in the first period since Andy Murray became coach 12 games ago. The streak matches the NHL record which was set in 1974 by the Los Angeles Kings. The Blues ended the Kings streak that season by scoring a first period goal in the 13th game.

Safer Dasher Boards

We normally don't read about some of the products that help make the game safer…
Bone rattling board collisions are an inevitable part of life in the National Hockey League. This season, however, more NHL players will skate away without serious injuries thanks to a new product from Intek Plastics, a custom plastic extruder, and Athletica, a rink systems provider.
SoftCap is a flexible extruded plastic cover that sits on top of rink dasher boards. Its design uses hollow channels to absorb impact 96% better than the material previously used, according to NHL testing. The league expects SoftCap will reduce head, chin, elbow and other injuries and has approved the product for all team arenas. The New York Islanders was the first team to install the product and several more orders have followed.

Good service. Nice place if you are looking for a total quiet place
Amazing, just like described and seen on the pictures. We just wanted to stay a couple of nights but then it was so excellent, that we extended for 2 nights!
Our stay was just brilliant and excellent, from the beginning of really late arriving and support while arriving, txs Sandy for so nice welcome, over incredible helpful stuff onsite!
The little paradise in Ubud makes a perfect basis for discovering the area and enjoy an unforgettable honeymoon! Just 5 min drive into Ubud is worthwhile.
When we are back to Bali we will definitely come again!
Thanks to a really great team that made our stay so special!!
We had an amazing 3 nights stay at this place and we found it exactly as described(if not even more than that)...was just the right accommodation to be in after a very long flight..everything was sparkling clean, staff very friendly and helpful (Sandi was absolutely incredible, she helped all the way thru and answered all questions/requests within minutes), quiet location, amazing rice fields view, great pool (most of the time you'll have it all for yourself despite a few other villas on the premises), quality breakfast, all coming at a great rate...I only hope we'll be able to come back here again one day.
I absolutely loved this place!! The quaint villas and the amazing view of the paddy fields from the pool and lounge area made my stay here truly memorable. I loved the peace and quiet and is very well maintained by the staff. Would surely come back here again just to relax by the pool.
Though we had booked Villa Agung we got a different one. So do confirm beforehand if you want to stay only in one particular villa. There are two right by the side of the paddy fields and I'm assuming it would have a great view.
It is a great location for those who have access to a scooty or some means of transport as it is a little outside the main area of Ubud. If you would want to be within walking distance of Ubud's main streets then this is not the place for you. Having said that this location warrants a stay of a few days atleast.
Free Wifi is available but our villa couldnt get a strong connection so I had to go close to the lounge area for it to work. It wasnt a necessity for me so didnt bother me much.
Cela a été un plaisir de résider dans ces petites maisons.Gentillesse et sourire comme très souvent en (website hidden) tranquillité des lieux n'a d'égal que la beauté du site.
A 10 minutes d'ubud,si vous souhaitez profiter des possibilités de la ville,de découvrir ses rizières,cela a été pour nous une très belle étape.
Merci encore
We had an amazing time at Lodtunduh Sari! From the efficient booking process with Sandi who timely answered to all our questions to our 4 day stay in the clean, quiet and comfortable Villa Agung. We arrived in the middle of the night because our flight was delayed and we were relieved to see that our driver was patiently waiting for us. The staff at Lodtunduh Sari was always friendly and we really appreciated the fact that it was possible to rent a scooter to move around. The hotel is located right in the rice fields, at a 5 minute ride from the Monkey Forest and the city centre. The road is not busy so no worries!
Ubud is a must-see place and Lodtunduh Sari is definitely the place to stay to truly enjoy the little city!
Lodtunduh Sari is a fantastic place : lost in the middle of the rice fields and yet at a 10-minute drive from Ubud. The staff was very kind and considerate. The villa itself was very beautiful, confortable and peaceful. This place is perfect to chill out and also to visit Ubud and its surroundings. We had a really good time here.

professorwoodruff's Profile
Not much is know about the real life of Professor Woodruff.
His name first started appearing on patents around the time of the Industrial Revolution. His most notable invention appears to be the "Woodruff's Audiological Beautifier" (an invention to trim ear hairs) that was wildly in Vogue for three years at the turn of the century.
His first name remains a mystery to this day, but his middle initial being "H" popular opinion sways between Horatio, Hieronymus, and Hector.
Upon his death in 1922, the executors of his will were dispatched to his New England home only to discover 4 stories of sub-level caverns beneath his seaside home crammed to the gills with fantastical treasures.
As of 2011 teams of historical preservationist are still unearthing strongboxes of eccentric ephemera yet to be adored by our modern generation of creative geniuses…

Make The Mac App Store Re-Download Apps To Your Mac [OS X Tips]
The Mac App Store is a great way to download apps to your Mac, as it takes care of the download, the install, and the post-install clean up for you. Sometimes, however, things can get a bit wonky, whether by accident or design, and you'll want to go and download an app you think you've deleted.
Sometimes the Mac App Store will think the app you've deleted is still on your Mac. Or, you'll want to re-download an app that's behaving weirdly. When that happens, there will be a "Downloaded," or "Installed" button there that won't let you do anything.
While not all Mac App Store apps will work the same way, here are a few things to try out.

The leader of the Green Party in England and Wales is among those backing the huge wave of public sector strikes across the country today.
Anti-cuts activists will join public sector strikes on 30 June, as part of the largest day of action against the government's cuts so far.
Newspapers have reported that the UK government is to publish a 'Big Society' bill, supposedly giving citizens more choice and control. In practice, this may involve offloading further responsibilities on to individuals, families and communities, forcing them to put in extra time and money or go without much-needed services.
The Green Party has called for an end to "arbitrary, ego-driven economic policy-making". It wants an "open, rational debate" about sustainability.
The NHS Future Forum is due to submit its report on government health reforms today. But new research shows that privatisation continues apace.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is right that not much from the key policies being implemented by the government was put before the voters, says Mark Field MP.
Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams has criticised the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition government's policies on a wide range of issues.
Economic pressure on tertiary education needs to be addressed with proper critical thinking rather than simply complied with or ignored, professors say.
The breadth and quality of education universities once offered is now being seriously eroded by underfunding, says Dr Andrew W. Hass from the University of Stirling. But funding is not where the deeper crisis lies, he suggests. Cutbacks are just the symptom of a greater underlying problem. The real problem is an identity crisis. What is 'the university' for?
The Church of Scotland has been urged to campaign against cuts being imposed by Scottish local authorities to learning disability services.

The paper addresses the problem of output power regulation of fixed-pitch variable-speed wind energy conversion systems. Operation is constrained by practical reasons to the low-speed side of the turbine power-speed curve. Unfortunately, this region is characterized by a nonminimum phase dynamics which is an obstacle to perform the regulation task. A dynamical variable structure controller is developed that accomplishes the control objective despite this limitation. The proposed control strategy presents attractive features such as robustness to parametric uncertainties of the turbine and generator as well as to electric grid disturbances.

Jose Lapoujade is hoping to be fit to take on AFC Fylde at Marsh Lane tomorrow
Mark Edwards, Sports Editor. Call me on 01865 425451 / / Sport
DARREN Mullings and Alejandro-Adrian Santiago return from suspension as Oxford City look to get back to winning ways at home to AFC Fylde tomorrow.
The duo have served three and one-game bans respectively following dismissals earlier this season.
And with full back Jose Lapoujade also hoping to be fit, general manager Justin Merritt has a near full-strength squad available.
City's unbeaten start to the season was ended by a 1-0 defeat at Harrogate Town last Saturday, but Merritt was encouraged by the display, despite the result.
"It was a massive step forward in terms of performance," he said.
"We played some great football, but I just feel we are not having the rub of the green at the moment.
"We had a team meeting last Thursday night about how we want to do things and how we are trying to play, and it was great to see the players taking that on board.
"If we repeat that level of display, and add the extra 20 per cent that I feel we have still to come, we can be right in there."
Although City have started the season brightly, Merritt is hoping that if his players stay clear of injuries and suspensions there will be plenty more to enthuse about.
"For one reason or another, I have not been able to pick the same team for consecutive matches," he added.
"We have the two players back from suspension for Saturday and are hoping Jose will be fit too.
"Once they are back, hopefully things will settle down and we can really push on."
AFC Fylde, promoted from the Northern Premier last season, are fifth in the table.
They are managed by Dave Challinor, known by football fans for a huge long throw.
"They have had a great start and will be tough," Merritt said.

"We have had them watched, but I'm interested in what we do rather than our opponents."

5 RSPO companies linked to haze
(06/24/2013) Five members of the Roundtable and Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) will be asked to submit digital maps of their plantations after media reports linked them to fires in Sumatra that are driving the haze across Singapore and Malaysia. The RSPO has given the companies — PT Jatim Jaya Perkasa, Tabung Haji Plantations, Sinar Mas, Kuala Lumpur Kepong, and Sime Darby — 48 hours to submit maps of their plantations in Sumatra and Kalimantan so the eco-certification body can compare them to fire hotspot data from NASA and NOAA.
Solving 'wicked problems': ten principles for improved environmental management
(06/23/2013) As agriculture continues to expand at the expense of forests in the tropics, humanity struggles to meet environmental protection goals. Despite global efforts towards sustainable agriculture and some progress towards the gazetting of protected areas, there are as yet no general and effective solutions for meeting both conservation goals and food needs, and thus the loss and degradation of natural habitats continues. The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) has estimated a 70% increase in food production will be needed by 2050 to feed a population that will exceed 9 billion. How can such food production be met in ways that conserve the environment while also alleviating poverty?
Indonesian logging giant pulls out of FSC certification scheme
(06/22/2013) Following a complaint filed by environmental groups, Indonesian forestry giant Asia Pacific Resources International Limited (APRIL) has pulled out of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), an eco-labeling initiative for timber and other forest products.

In landmark ruling, Indonesia's indigenous people win right to millions of hectares of forest
(05/17/2013) In a landmark ruling, Indonesia's Constitutional Court has invalidated the Indonesian government's claim to millions of hectares of forest land, potentially giving indigenous and local communities the right to manage their customary forests, reports Mongabay-Indonesia. In a review of a 1999 forestry law, the court ruled that customary forests should not be classified as "State Forest Areas". The move is significant because Indonesia's central government has control over the country's vast forest estate, effectively enabling agencies like the Ministry of Forestry to grant large concessions to companies for logging and plantations even if the area has been managed for generations by local people.

APP answers questions on new forest conservation policy
(04/29/2013) In February, Asia Pulp & Paper, one the world's largest paper producers, announced a forest conservation policy that would effectively exclude fiber sourced through conversion of rainforests and peatlands.

After 15 years, the program has aided one community in expanding its forest by 9.2 percent in the last decade, while still allowing community access to forest for smallscale logging in Ethiopia's Bale Mountains.
Fighting deforestation—and corruption—in Indonesia
(04/11/2013) The basic premise of the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) program seems simple: rich nations pay tropical countries for preserving their forests. Yet the program has made relatively limited progress on the ground since 2007, when the concept got tentative go-ahead during U.N. climate talks in Bali. The reasons for the stagnation are myriad, but despite the simplicity of the idea, implementing REDD+ is extraordinarily complex. Still the last few years have provided lessons for new pilot projects by testing what does and doesn't work. Today a number of countries have REDD+ projects, some of which are even generating carbon credits in voluntary markets. By supporting credibly certified projects, companies and individuals can claim to "offset" their emissions by keeping forests standing. However one of the countries expected to benefit most from REDD+ has been largely on the sidelines. Indonesia's REDD+ program has been held up by numerous factors, but perhaps the biggest challenge for REDD+ in Indonesia is corruption.
6 lessons for stopping deforestation on the frontier
(04/09/2013) In 1984, at the tail end of the Brazilian dictatorship, I took up residence in a frontier town called Paragominas in the eastern Amazon. I went to study rainforests and pasture restoration, but soon became captivated as well by the drama of the frontier itself. Forests were hotly contested among cattle ranchers, smallholder communities, land speculators and more than a hundred logging companies, sometimes with fatal results. If we are to meet rising global demand for food, conserve tropical forests, and mitigate climate change at the pace that is necessary, we must become much better at taming aggressive, lawless tropical forest frontiers where people are making a lot of money cutting forests down.
Indonesia to raise logging, mining fees in forest areas
(04/08/2013) Indonesia's Ministry of Forestry will soon raise fees on forest exploitation activities including logging, mining, and oil and gas exploration as part of an effort to increase income from resource use.

Investigation clears APP of deforestation allegations in Borneo
(04/04/2013) Two logging companies that supply Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) with timber have not violated the Indonesian forestry giant's new zero deforestation commitment, according to a field investigation by The Forest Trust, a conservation group. The investigation was a direct response to allegations raised in a report published last week by Relawan Pemantau Hutan Kalimantan (RPHK), a consortium of local NGOs in West Kalimantan, the western-most province in Indonesian Borneo. The RPHK report found evidence of active clearing within two concession areas linked to Asia Tani Persada (ATP) and Daya Tani Kalbar (DTK), companies that supply APP with timber for its pulp mills.
Jumping the gun? Confusion over APP deforestation report
(03/29/2013) On Thursday AFP reported that green groups have accused Indonesian forestry giant Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) of breaking its commitment to stop clearing natural forests and peatlands. But that's not entirely accurate. What the coalition of environmental groups in Indonesian Borneo actually reported was clearing by two companies that supply APP with fiber, not deforestation by APP-owned companies.
APP suppliers allegedly slashing forests and peatlands in Indonesia, despite new 'no deforestation' policy
(03/27/2013) Less than two months after its implementation, two Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) suppliers in Indonesian Borneo have been accused of violating the company's new sustainability policy, which includes a zero deforestation commitment throughout its entire supply chain.

(03/22/2013) A group of biologists and conservation scientists meeting in Sumatra warned that potential changes to Aceh's spatial plan could undermine some of the ecological services that underpin the Indonesian province's economy and well-being of its citizens. After its meeting from March 18-22 in Banda Aceh, the Asia chapter of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC) issued a declaration [PDF] highlighting the importance of the region's tropical forest ecosystem, which is potentially at risk due to proposed changes to its spatial plan.

Forests under fire: Australia's imperiled south west
(03/05/2013) In the far southwestern corner of Western Australia, beyond the famed wineries in the shadow of the Margaret River, lies an ecosystem like no other, the South West ecoregion. This part of Australia has been identified as one of 34 global biodiversity hotspots, home to rare endemic flora and fauna like the Carnaby's black cockatoo, numbat (banded anteaters), woylie (brush-tailed bettong), mainland quokka and over 1500 plant species, most found nowhere else. Unfortunately, this unique habitat is being increasingly fragmented and its inhabitants threatened by a number of forces, including climate change, dieback, fires and logging. And, on the eve of the Western Australia's state elections, the future of the South West hangs in the balance.
Palm oil company destroys 7,000 ha of Amazon rainforest in Peru
(03/04/2013) A palm oil producer has leveled some 7,000 hectares of rainforest in the Peruvian Amazon, highlighting the risks of oil palm expansion in the world's largest tropical forest, reports El Comercio.
Saving forests by stemming agricultural sprawl
(03/01/2013) I'm fortunate to travel the world helping conserve habitats for some of the world's most iconic species. When I visit places like the Amazon and Sumatra, I'm still awestruck by their diversity and pristine beauty. I'm also reminded how threatened they are. Our growing demand for food and fiber is fueling deforestation in resource-rich regions of the world. As environmentalists, if we don't change where and how we produce food and fiber, we can turn off the lights and go home. There won't be any biodiversity left to protect.
Malaysian NGOs boldly demand forest conservation action in Borneo
(02/28/2013) In an unusually bold statement catalyzed by the deaths of 14 rare elephants, six Malaysian NGOs today called on the Sabah state government to pursue 'a more conservation focused agenda' in managing the state's forests. The demand comes shortly after the death of 14 endangered pygmy elephants — thought poisoned by an oil palm plantation developer — thrust Sabah's environmental problems into the international spotlight.
Selective logging changes character of tropical forest
(02/28/2013) Selective logging is usually considered less harmful than other forestry practices, such as clear cutting, but a new study in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science has found that even selective logging has a major impact on tropical forests lasting decades. Comparing trees in two previously logged sites and two unlogged sites in northeast India, researchers found less tree diversity in selectively logged forests with trees dispersed by birds proved especially hard-hit.
Deforestation, wetlands loss in Brazil and Indonesia generated 45b tons of CO2 in 20 years
(02/22/2013) The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has launched a global set of statistics on carbon emissions from deforestation, agriculture and other forms of land use for the 1990-2010 period.
Is APP deal a sign of a changing forestry sector?
(02/15/2013) Asia Pulp & Paper (APP), one of the world's largest paper companies, announced earlier this month that it will no longer cut down natural forests in Indonesia and will demand similar commitments from its suppliers. The announcement was received with guarded optimism by Greenpeace, Rainforest Action Network, World Wildlife Fund, and other NGOs who have waged a persistent campaign to change APP's forest policies.
Indonesian governor proposes opening protected areas to logging
(02/12/2013) The governor of Indonesia's Aceh Province on the island of Sumatra has proposed opening up more than 50,000 hectares of protected forest to logging, according to a new analysis by an Indonesian environmental group.
After Indonesian paper giant commits to no deforestation, pressure mounts on its biggest competitor
(02/12/2013) After Indonesian paper giant Asia Pulp & Paper's announcement last week that it will no longer source fiber produced from destruction of tropical rainforests, environmental groups are now urging Indonesia's other major paper company to make a similar commitment. On Tuesday, WWF echoed Greenpeace's call for Asia Pacific Resources International Limited (APRIL) to eliminate deforestation from its supply chain. Like APP, APRIL has been linked to large-scale conversion of Sumatra's endangered rainforests for industrial tree plantations to produce pulp and paper.
Activists blast World Bank on continued support of industrial rainforest logging
(02/11/2013) Two environmental activist groups blasted the World Bank over its reported decision to block a probe into its support of industrial-scale rainforest logging.
The beginning of the end of deforestation in Indonesia?
(02/05/2013) Asia Pulp & Paper, a forestry giant that has been widely criticized for its role in driving deforestation and contributing to social conflict in Indonesia, today announced a zero deforestation policy that could have a dramatic impact on efforts to slow the Southeast Asian nation's high rate of deforestation. The policy, which went into effect February 1, is ambitious enough that one of APP's most vocal critics and agitators, Greenpeace, will suspend its highly-damaging campaign against the paper giant. The campaign against APP has cost the paper giant tens of millions of dollars in lost business since 2009. The new policy targets several of the major criticisms against APP, including deforestation, degradation of high carbon peatlands, conservation of critical wildlife habitat, and social conflict with local communities.
Indonesian province of East Kalimantan imposes moratorium on deforestation
(02/02/2013) The Indonesian province of East Kalimantan has imposed a one-year moratorium on new permits for logging, mining, and oil palm plantations, reports Reuters.
