A social-media outpouring is planned for Thursday to support the Senate version of VAWA, a federal funding bill for domestic-safety programs, to a vote. House to Take Up Senate's Anti-violence Act.
(WOMENSENEWS)—Women's advocacy groups are staging a collaborative social media day on Thursday to solidify support for a House vote on a Senate-approved version of a major funding bill for domestic-safety programs.
The effort, which organizers are calling a "blog carnival," will entail email alerts, Twitter and Facebook notifications directing readers to blog entries from organizations across the country posted on HERvotes, a coalition of over 50 women's organizations dedicated to mobilizing women voters around women's health and economic rights.
One provision bolsters protections for LGBTQ individuals. Another givesNative American tribal courts power to prosecute non-Native assailants, The Huffington Post reported.

Nature's Hospitality: Preparations for a Feast by Ogodei-KhanWatch
©2013-2015 Ogodei-KhanMature Content
The last of the Queen's Blade manips, from Queen's Blade: Vanquished Queens volume 2. As a fitting book-end, the last was edited by the Hypnohub user Vorp just as the first was. Here Risty runs afoul of a perfectly normal, nothing-special snake in the jungle, and happily accepts the snake's offer of lots and lots of fruit. Maybe something else is on the menu?
This marks the first time since July 2011 that anything remotely resembling Kaa has appeared on my DA.
Have you done anymore of these, cause there GREAT!!
No more, unfortunately. I looked through both of the art books to pick the six most suitable images. None of the others really work for various reasons.
Does anybody know the original artist of the drawing/painting? Really good
Source, as i said, is Queen's Blade: Vanquished Queens 2, an art book with various artists, though I got the image secondhand (and already translated), so i lack information on specific identities of artists. Likely the folks employed by Hobby Japan to do the various Queens Blade materials, though.
I think an adaptation of this could be good as long as you plan out the expansions carefully. For example, you can go into how the monkeys are Kaa's servants, have Risty catch his attention, and know how to handle their encounter. I'm sure if you plan it all out the story will be entertaining.
I would love to read a full story for this similar to the full stories you used to make.
Hey, i still write stories! Just very, very slowly :-P
Not sure how good an adaptation this one would make, though. I tried adapting short stories to longer stories all year, and it hasn't worked out well <_>
good short story it fits the art well

Quentin Tarantino's Toronto girlfriend accused of plagiarism
Lianne "Spiderbaby" MacDougall, a U of T graduate, apologizes on Twitter and says she's stepping away from horror movie journalism
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Quentin Tarantino's Toronto-born girlfriend, a rising star in the horror movie journalism bracket, has admitted to plagiarism.
And like an advancing menace in a grindhouse flick, her critics are moving in for the kill.
"Lianne as Tarantino's girlfriend was a little too juicy," said Mike White, who helped bring the plagiarism allegations to light on his blog, Impossible Funky.
In a post on Saturday, White said that MacDougall, who uses the pen name Lianne Spiderbaby, lifted blocks of text from other blogs and review sites in two recent articles published by horror culture site FEARnet.
"I was pretty taken aback and I was amazed to see how blatant the plagiarism was," said White.
MacDougall did not respond to multiple requests for comment. On Saturday, however, she tweeted, "I apologize for the plagiarism in my work. I am leaving journalism behind for a while. I'm so very, very sorry to everyone esp (sic) those I've wronged."
A graduate of the film studies program at the University of Toronto and a licensed teacher in Ontario, MacDougall has reportedly been dating Tarantino for months. The pair was spotted by paparazzi while swimming in Mexico in January, while MacDougall accompanied the award-winning director to the Oscars this year.
The movie reviewer, who has written for a range of magazines and websites in Canada and the U.S., moved to Los Angeles in March, according to a cached page from her blog, which has been shut down to non-authorized visitors. MacDougall also hosts the video web series Fright Bytes, in which she discusses horror movies with her brother and co-host, Steve.
She is set to release her first book, Grindhouse Women: Cinema's Hardest Working Women, later this year, which will feature a foreword by Tarantino.
After the allegations of plagiarism hit over the weekend, MacDougall closed her movie review site and removed her Facebook page. Her articles on FEARnet have also been taken down.
Meanwhile, Chris Alexander, editor-in-chief of horror magazine Fangoria, said that "she'll never again write for us." Video Watchdog editor Tim Lucas, who's also worked with MacDougall, said it's up to her to repair her reputation.
"I'm afraid this misconduct has done her reputation and authority some lasting damage," Lucas said.
MaryAnn Johanson, a long-time film blogger who lives in London, was outraged to learn last week that sections of her recent review for the Norwegian movie Turn Me On, Dammit had been copied.
"It was the most egregious example of lifting stuff from a view that I've seen, as far as my work is concerned," said Johanson, who has been reviewing movies online since 1997.
"People that she stole from, including me, we work mostly for the love of this. We don't make a ton of money, if we make any at all, and she turned around and used our work to benefit herself. And that's really, really enraging."

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
This past Friday I was surrounded by entrepreneurship education leaders from all sectors the Future of Entrepreneurship Education Summit, a gathering held at the University of Central Florida where actors of our entrepreneurship ecosystem met alongside established entrepreneurship educators to discuss current trends and ideas to nourish the entrepreneurship mindset.
In 2009, the Irish economy underwent one of the deepest recessions in the EU, with its economy shrinking by as much as 10%. Late in 2010, Ireland received an €85bn financial rescue package. Clearly, the winner of Ireland´s general elections held on Sunday (according to polls so far Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny) will have a lot on his shoulders. However, if the past is any indication, Ireland has the potential to resurge economically.
We are a week away from another historic global entrepreneurship event - this time in Shanghai, China, for the annual gathering of global leaders in the entrepreneurial movement led by the Kauffman Foundation.
It is an important week for entrepreneurship around the world, especially here in China where we recently wrapped up the Kauffman Foundation-led Global Entrepreneurship Congress, bringing together impressive leaders in the field from over 100 nations. In addition to launching and recognizing more than 100 national campaigns to promote entrepreneurship through this year's Global Entrepreneurship Week (scheduled for November 14-20), we have witnessed this week entrepreneurship as a burgeoning phenomenon from Chile to China.
Israel is one of the most innovative nations on earth. Israelis (approximately 7.6 million in number) are well-educated, have a global outlook, ties around the world, and most importantly, a positive view of entrepreneurship. Most Israeli entrepreneurs understand ways of moving innovations into the marketplace and how to establish themselves as global companies from the get go. It is only natural that there is so much interest around the world in Israel's entrepreneurship path.
America's fiscal health remains currently at the heart of most economic policy chatter. We are living in tight fiscal times. Congress has been focusing on reaching agreements on reducing spending and budget battles are expected to wage on throughout much of this year. Since balancing the budget is inseparable from tax policy, we take a quick look this week at how taxes shape incentives for entrepreneurs.
This week, I was invited to join the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Trade Ministerial in Big Sky, Montana. This regional bloc meeting remains one of the most important venues for discussing global economic policy. It is also one that has paid attention to the role of entrepreneurs in achieving its goals of trade and cooperation for growth.
I hope that like me, you have had the chance to witness the burgeoning phenomenon of entrepreneurship curriculum in American higher education. More and more, students have the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship on campus. In the process of creating entrepreneurship programs, universities have become more entrepreneurial themselves. This is great news. Colleges and universities are natural incubators of creativity and new ways of looking at things. And this new reality might mean that colleges and universities are better preparing students for success in the American economy where more professionals need to make their own jobs.
One hundred years of banked future hydrocarbon revenues, massive investments in higher education and a common legal framework based on western law all offer this small nation—the size of Connecticut—tremendous potential to be a hub for startups in the GCC. I find it curious therefore that at Qatar's famous "Doha Forum" I participated in today, entrepreneurship and startups were not on the agenda.
According to The Times CEO Summit here in London, Britain is mid-table in the world growth league, but committed to a new rigorous economic agenda. Now that the painful job of drastic budget cuts is underway and an often angry public has aired its grievances, Prime Minister David Cameron appears to be intently focused on new firm formation, the know-how economy, the next digital revolution and private input into "innovating down" health costs. He is determined to protect his AAA Standard & Poors evaluation and keep his economy from heading in the direction of others like Greece.

Possible for opensips to sit behind a nat router on a lan and be able to simultaneously serve internal and external (routable) sip videoconferencing codecs?
I know the server should probably be in public addressable space, but in this instance we can't do that.
So can we have internal opensips with mediaproxy serving internal and external sip clients?
Bogdan-Andrei Iancu
Hi robert,
You can do that, by using the set_advertise_address() function (see http://www.opensips.org/Resources/DocsCoreFcn#toc139) - so even if listening on private interface, opensips will be able to advertise a public ip for traffic going into public side. Of course, you will need some port forwarding, so that traffic from public side will be received on internal net.

Wallstreet; you are totally lost case. I believe Mick is real person with great accomplishments . Man with MBA from Yale knows that Calif Housing bubble is ready to burst. I also sold 9 rental houses so far this year and not so bullish on COH and all retail stock. Today UCLA Anderson's school of business announced Calif. housings are 40-45 % over value. There is similarity to past COH performance that took this stock to excessive evaluation like Calif. housing. Mick is smart business man ..telling the true facts that you guys in Clearwater can not believe our Calif.. life. Stop bashing everybody with foul language ..we don't appreciate your redneck behaviour.

My brain droppings
This is one of the nicer art communities I've found on the internet so I thought I'd give this place a try. There is a lot of fantastic art here! I dont draw as often as I should but maybe starting a sketchbook will motivate me a little more.
These first three are a little old. One of my favorite subjects is the undead. I think zombies are the coolest. I drew these based on their cause of death.
Head Trauma. This one is my favorite of the three.
Drowning. Note the leeches, ugh I hate those things.
Burning. I've never been quite satisfied with my attempt at the "crispy" look in this drawing.
This next one is also old but one of my favorite drawings.

arya Thanks! Yeah the dragon's body is kinda odd. He came out almost like a dragon/grey hound hybrid.
Here are some more recent (and less creepy heh) drawings.
Tree creature, the stick man is just for scale.
Some random doodles! Always fun.

Hahaha, I love the random drawings. I used to do stupid little comic strips before I fell out of the swing of things (i joined the forum for a similar reason, motivation, as well as the obvious desire to get better). The undead drawings are cool as well, man.

Vodafone - Postpaid Bill payment
4 Reviews
Nishant Kumar
I have been using vodafone & previously hutch prepaid for close to 4 years. Around 10 months back i was transferred to Hyderabad. I got a prepaid no. of Hy'bad but the vodafone sales executives lured me & converted my connection into a postpaid. After 6 months, I had to urgently leave A P as i got a new job in Delhi & had to report there urgently. In Delhi I requested the vodafone store staff to take my pending amount & deactivate my connection but they were very unprofessional in their approach & in place of helping me they were telling me to go to A P to get the connection deactivated. I wasted my three days trying to persuade & convince the Vodafone staff of different stores. I even made repeated STD calls to the vodafone Customer care of AP but to no avail. Now they are threatening me through Emails to pay this outstanding bill within 4 days or face legal action.
Please tell me can they prosecute me legally for not paying the outstanding bill?

Indonesia's moratorium not enough to achieve emissions reduction target
(01/20/2015) When Indonesia's former president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono declared a moratorium in May 2012 on the issuance of new permits for logging in primary forests and on peat lands, it was widely hailed as an important, albeit far too limited, step in clamping down on the country's levels of deforestation.
High deforestation rates in Malaysian states hit by flooding
(01/19/2015) Five states hard hit by flooding last month in Malaysia had high rates of forest loss in recent years, bolstering assertions that environmental degradation may have worsened the disaster. According to satellite data from researchers led by the University of Maryland's Matt Hansen and displayed on Global Forest Watch, the states of Johor, Kelantan, Pahang, Perak, and Terengganu each lost more than 10 percent of their forest cover between 2001 and 2012. Loss was greatest in areas with dense tree cover.
Rising meat consumption pushes farming past deforestation as global warming driver
(01/18/2015) Agriculture has surpasses deforestation and land use change as a driver of greenhouse gas emissions, argues a paper published in Global Change Biology.
Fake Doritos ad pressures Pepsi over palm oil policy
(01/18/2015) A dispute between environmentalists and PepsiCo over the food company's palm oil sourcing policy is escalating after activists released a video spoofing the Doritos Super Bowl campaign. Earlier this month SumofUs.org posted a clip stating that PepsiCo's current palm oil policy fails to exclude deforestation from its supply chain, meaning that Pepsi products like Doritos could be contributing to the destruction of rainforests in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Facing legacy of deforestation and corruption, Sarawak may cease granting new logging concessions
(01/18/2015) Sarawak Chief Minister Adenan Satem says his government may stop granting new logging concessions, reports Malaysian state media.
Even with no El Nino, 2014 was the warmest year on record
(01/18/2015) On Friday both NASA and NOAA announced that last year—2014—was the warmest on record. The year bested out both previous record holders, 2005 and 2010. According to NOAA, 2014 was 0.69 degrees Celsius (1.24 degrees Fahrenheit) above the 20th century average. The Earth is warming rapidly due to greenhouse gas emissions, mostly from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas.
Tree climbing as a tool to build respect for forests
(01/16/2015) The bulk of life in the rainforest is found the leafy layers of the canopy. But little was known about this world until relatively recently, when hobbyists, naturalists, and researchers began devising ways to access the upper levels of the forest. These efforts accelerated in the 1970s when scientists started to use mountaineering techniques and ropes to climb towering rainforest trees for long-term study and observation.
Sulawesi village seeks protection for sacred forest threatened by development
(01/16/2015) Home to some 400 fishermen, Manurung village appears unremarkable at first glance: quiet houses along a winding river lined with boats. However, behind the village lies something remarkable: a tract of old-growth forest nearly untouched by human exploitation. Pensimoni Hill stands as a rare outpost of towering trees rising above freshwater springs that provide clean water and life for the villages below.
Fishing industry could lose up to $41 billion due to climate change
(01/16/2015) Climate change is already having a severe impact on the atmosphere and oceans around the world. These changes are also impacting specific economic sectors including the fishing and aquaculture industries. According to a recent report by the European Climate Foundation, the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership and the University of Cambridge, the fishing industry is projected to lose tens-of-billions as the world continues to heat up.
Amazon tribe attacks oilfield in Ecuador
(01/15/2015) Indigenous leaders are calling for the release of six tribesmen implicated in a raid on an oilfield in Eastern Ecuador that left six soldiers injured, reports Andina and El Comercio.
Ocean's 15: meet the species that have vanished forever from our seas
(01/15/2015) In the last 500 years, the oceans have suffered far fewer extinctions than on land—at least that we know of. According to a recent study in Science, 15 animals are known to have vanished forever from the oceans while terrestrial ecosystems have seen 514 extinctions. The researchers, however, warn that the number of marine extinctions could rise rapidly as the oceans are industrialized.
Empty seas? Scientists warn of an industrialized ocean
(01/15/2015) This is obvious, but still important: humans are not a marine species. Even as we have colonized most of our planet's terrestrial landscapes, we have not yet colonized the oceans. And for most of our history, we have impacted them only on the periphery. A new review in Science finds that this has saved marine species and ecosystems from large-scale damage—that is, until the last couple centuries.
No experience necessary: how studying tamarins led to an innovative research organization in the Amazon
(01/15/2015) While conducting doctoral research on tamarin reproductive biology in the Peruvian Amazon, Mrinalini Watsa realized she needed help in the field. Rather than hiring seasonal assistance she, along with Gideon Erkenswick, decided to create a life-changing non-profit organization, PrimatesPeru. The new NGO would allow students to conduct field research in one of the most biodiverse, yet threatened, places on Earth.
Farmers help restore degraded forests in Sulawesi
(01/15/2015) Irda tends to his two-hectare timber plantation in Pamulukkang Forest at the base of Tanete Kindo Mountain in West Sulawesi. Unlike some other farmers in Indonesia, he does so without fear of harassment by forest rangers or police. Since 2008, he has been involved in the Community Plantation Forest (HTR) program—an initiative by the Indonesian government to restore degraded lands by encouraging locals to plant and manage commercially sustainable forests.
Amazon gold rush destroying huge swaths of rainforest
(01/14/2015) The rainforests of South America face many threats. The deforestation occurring on the continent is among the highest in the world and results in losses of habitat, biodiversity and massive amounts of sequestered carbon. While the usual culprits such as farming, ranching and logging are well known, gold mining is fast extending its destructive reach into some of the world's most untouched landscapes, according to new research.
Did palm oil expansion play a role in the Ebola crisis?
(01/14/2015) The Ebola outbreak in West Africa may have been the result of complex economic and agricultural policies developed by authorities in Guinea and Liberia, according to a new commentary in Environment and Planning A. Looking at the economic activities around villages where Ebola first emerged, the investigators analyzed a shift in land-use activities in Guinea's forested region, particularly an increase in oil palm.
Road building spree hurts Amazon birds
(01/14/2015) A city-dwelling crow in Japan strategically drops a nut near a crosswalk into moving traffic. The bird then waits patiently for the light to turn before dropping down to the road and collecting the cracked nut in safety. While this type of animal behavior is fascinating, such adaptation to the human world is not possible for most bird species.
Deforestation climbing - along with fears - in the Amazon
(01/13/2015) Deforestation in the Brazil Amazon continues to pace well ahead of last year's rate, shows data released today by Imazon. According to the Brazilian NGO's analysis of satellite data, 1,373 square kilometers of rainforest was chopped down between August 2014 and December 2014, a 224 percent increase relative to the prior corresponding period a year before.
Forest management by Sulawesi community attracts international attention
(01/13/2015) The Ngata Toro community in the Indonesian province of Central Sulawesi worked with the government to remap their lands and negotiate access to the forest. In the year 2000, officials from the national park signed an agreement with Ngata Toro recognizing the existence of indigenous forests, and granting them permission to maintain the forest as they had previously.
Mother and cub: researchers photograph rare cat with cub in Sumatra
(01/13/2015) Researchers working in Kerinci Seblat National Park have captured a remarkable image of a mother Asian golden cat (Catopuma temminckii) carrying her young in her mouth. The image was taken in mid-2014 as reported by Mongabay Indonesia by the Sumatran Tiger Research Team.
Will Indonesia's REDD+ Agency be dissolved?
(01/13/2015) Indonesia's cabinet-level agency tasked with reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (BP REDD+), may be dissolved after only one year in operation. The head of the newly merged Ministries of the Environment and Forestry has indicated she intends to absorb the group into her agency—stripping BP REDD+ of its ability to operate independently.
Casting for another job: will fishers take up a new livelihood?
(01/12/2015) Can alternative income programs save Fiji's reef fish? Many implicate the failure of Fiji's government to prioritize sustainable management over fisheries development projects, or suggest that Fijians' mindsets must dramatically shift first.
Video: global carbon dispersal looks like an impressionistic painting in motion
(01/12/2015) A new video showing the global movements of carbon dioxide during one year may look beautiful, but such impressions are misleading. The video, produced by NASA, shows just how much humans are impacting the world's atmosphere, leading to rising temperatures, ocean acidification, melting glaciers, vanishing sea ice, and untold impacts on both wildlife and human communities.
New study: 'Yeti' hairs do not point to unknown bear species
(01/12/2015) A new study casts doubt on findings from 2013 that hairs from a purported Yeti belonged to an unknown bear species or polar and brown bear hybrid. Instead, two researchers—who took a fresh look at the DNA in question—say the hairs are simply that of a Himalayan brown bear.
Malta approves public referendum of bird hunt that kills over 15,000
(01/12/2015) Malta's Constitutional Court has upheld a public referendum to decide the fate of the country's controversial spring bird hunt, which kills over ten thousand migrating birds every year. The Constitutional Court threw out objections by Malta's powerful hunting lobby, and instead sided with the 11 conservation groups who organized the referendum, known as the Coalition for the Abolition of Spring Hunting—gathering 40,000 signatures from Maltese voters.
Sulawesi community regains access to forest on which it depends
(01/09/2015) Recognizing the ecological sensitivity of an area in Central Sulawesi, the Indonesian government established two expansive protected areas in the region. Although these protective measures may be forward-thinking in terms of environmental protection, they had the unfortunate side effect of corralling the residents of the village of Namo on a tiny patch of land, forbidding them from the utilizing the forest resources that once sustained them.
Indonesia to weaken peatlands protection to support plantations
(01/08/2015) The Indonesian Ministry of the Environment and Forestry has announced it will further hobble its peatlands protection law to allow plantations to continue operating on a business as usual basis.
California introduces bill to close ivory loophole
(01/08/2015) California congresswoman, Toni G. Atkins, introduced a bill yesterday (AB 96) that would close a major loophole allowing ivory to be sold all over the state. Thousands of miles away, across Africa, poachers are decimating elephants for their ivory tusks. A recent study estimated that one fifth of the continent's elephants have been slaughtered in just three years.
Kalimantan community maps forest to thwart timber companies
(01/08/2015) The small village of Tumbang Bahanei is inhabited by 139 indigenous families that tend to 2,859 hectares of customary forest, 132 hectares of rice fields, 5,841 hectares of rubber forest, and 43 hectares of forest designated for indigenous tourism. In total, this amounts to just over 8,880 hectares. The residents know these numbers precisely, because they have been diligently mapping every corner of their territory in a desperate attempt to prevent it from being snatched up by timber companies.
New bat species has fangs you won't believe
(01/08/2015) What big teeth you have, my dear! The better to eat insects with—and make one's own ecological niche. Scientists have uncovered a new bat with stupendous canines in the rainforests of Lao PDR and Vietnam, aptly naming it Hypsugo dolichodon, or the long-toothed pipistrelle.
Sulawesi community vies to maintain rights to forest
(01/07/2015) Around 3,000 people from 833 households live in Tompo Bulu's seven sub-villages. Traditional culture and ritual run thick in this area. The residents of Karampuang believe the area is where the cultures from eastern and western Indonesia first met. Local myth holds that the first leader of the area descended from the sky with a mandate that the locals must maintain their traditional way of life.
Palm oil threatens community forest in Central Kalimantan
(01/07/2015) Delang district is different than many parts of Central Kalimantan. Namely, on the drive in from Nangabulik, you won't see large-scale oil palm plantations, and the forest appears to be well maintained. This is because the locals are keenly aware of the importance of their land at the headwaters of the Lamandau River.
How black rhinos and local communities help each other in Namibia
(01/07/2015) Africa's rhinos are in a state of crisis. Poaching for their horn has resulted in the deaths of thousands of animals and pushed the continent's two species—the white and black rhino—against the wall. Yet, despite the crisis, there are pockets of rhino territory where poaching remains rare and rhinos live comparatively unmolested. Indeed, one of the brightest spots for rhinos is in Namibia.
One clever ape: new book celebrates real-life Orangutan Houdini
(01/07/2015) An interview with Laurel Neme about her new children's book, Orangutan Houdini. When no one is looking, a gangly orangutan named Fu Manchu reaches into his mouth and pulls out a wire. Carefully, Fu, housed at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Nebraska, begins to pick the lock to his enclosure's door, and escapes! He and his orangutan cohort have the run of the zoo, until his keeper Jerry brings them all back home.
Time for a checkup: researchers examine the health of lowland tapirs
(01/07/2015) The Brazilian tapir may get a bad rap in Brazil, where referring to someone as a 'tapir' essentially equates to calling them an 'ass,' but history has shown that this species is deserving of a lot more respect. These hardy 'living fossils' have survived multiple extinction events since the Eocene, yet their ability to survive the ongoing Anthopocene extinction remains uncertain.
Peru's first environment minister dies at 74
(01/07/2015) Born to a poor family of coffee farmers on the western slopes of the Andes in 1940, Antonio Brack Egg became one of Peru's most respected ecologists and led the country in protecting its profound biodiversity. Completing his doctorate at the university of Wurzburg, Germany in 1973, Brack Egg started his life of Peruvian public service with the Ministry of Agriculture, working to reestablish threatened populations of vicuña (Vicugna vicugna), a relative of the llama, honored as Peru's national animal.
Traditional farming technique preserves soil, forest in Kalimantan
(01/06/2015) The road winds five kilometers through a thick canopy of trees before ending abruptly at a stream and a small, stout wooden cabin in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Amid, the cabin's owner, proudly explains that he constructed it from local hardwoods—high value trees still readily available in the surrounding hills.
Earthworms under threat
(01/06/2015) 1st November 1837 was a disappointing day at the Geological Society of London. The men (and they were only men) of the Society were expecting great things from the young Charles Darwin, recently returned from his Beagle voyage. Yet on that day only William Buckland saw sufficient value in Darwin's work to recommend it for publication – but then Buckland himself was an oddity, given his work on fossil feces and his proclivity for eating his way through the Animal Kingdom (moles and bluebottle flies, he reported, are particularly distasteful).
Coffee farmers help protect Flores forest
(01/06/2015) Located on the slopes of Inerie Mountain on the island of Flores in Indonesia, farmers in Bajawa and Golewa districts have practiced sustainable agroforestry for generations, producing coffee for export to the U.S. and Europe known as Arabica Flores Bajawa (AFB). Although not as well-known as other specialty coffees in Indonesia, its popularity is increasing, and Ngada regency now produces more than 300 tons of AFB per harvest.
Judge protects Midwest wolves after 1,599 killed in three years
(01/06/2015) Future wolf hunting and trapping seasons in the Upper Midwest are on hold after a judge ruled the Obama Administration erred in removing the top predator from the Endangered Species Act. The ruling came nearly three years after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service dropped federal protections for the Great Lakes' wolf population. Since then hunters and trappers have killed 1,599 wolves.
Half of Indonesia's deforestation occurs outside concession areas
(01/06/2015) Roughly half of Indonesia's natural forest loss occurs outside officially designated concession areas, concludes a new assessment that also finds higher deforestation rates in places with worse forest governance scores. The report, released last month by Forest Watch Indonesia, is based on analysis of satellite data spanning the archipelago. Unlike assessments by the Ministry of Forestry, the data includes areas outside the 'forest estate'.
Two vanishing prairie butterflies added to the Endangered Species Act
(01/05/2015) This fall, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service added two little-known prairie butterflies to the Endangered Species Act. One of the species, the Poweshiek skipperling, may be down to only a few hundred individuals. The Dakota skipperling is faring a little better, but both have lost the majority of their habitat in the pass few hundred years and continue to decline.
Featured video: new documentary highlights 'Sumatra Burning'
(01/05/2015) A new half-hour documentary investigate the impact of the palm oil industry in Indonesia, including burning forests and peatlands as well as haze spreading across Indonesian borders. Entitled Sumatra Burning, the documentary explores palm oil production on the island of Sumatra, which is experiencing some of the highest deforestation rates on the planet.
Rainforests: 10 things to watch in 2015
(01/02/2015) 2014 was a landmark year for tropical rainforests, with dozens of major companies committing to eliminating deforestation from their supply chains, the launch of new platforms for monitoring forests, and sharp drop in clearing in the Brazilian Amazon, among other big developments. Here's a quick look ahead at what might be in store for tropical forests in 2015.
Things you want to know about Mongabay
(01/01/2015) This is a compilation of responses to some of the most frequently asked questions for Mongabay. If you have additional questions you'd like me to answer, you can ask them using this form.
Most popular environmental news stories in 2014
(12/31/2014) In 2014 Mongabay published more than 1,100 stories in English and over 450 posts in Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Japanese, and Chinese. Mongabay-Indonesia published nearly 1,400 posts in Indonesian. Stories ran the gamut from light-hearted feel-good pieces to hard-hitting investigative content to thought-provoking interviews.
Monkey sleep, monkey do: how primates choose their trees
(12/31/2014) Primates don't monkey around when deciding where to spend the night, but primatologists have had a poor grasp on what drives certain monkeys toward specific trees. Now, two extensive studies of Indonesian primates suggest that factors in selecting trees each evening are site-specific and different for each species—and that some overnight spots result in conflicts between monkeys and humans.
Activists call out 'one of the worst actors in pulp and paper'
(12/30/2014) The owner of the only mill in Indonesia equipped to produce dissolving pulp, Toba Pulp Lestari (TPL), is being held out as emblematic of the risks the industry's massive recent growth pose to endangered forests.
Top 10 camera trap photos of animals
(12/30/2014) Camera traps are revolutionizing the world of conservation, helping researchers document elusive wildlife, record rarely-observed animal behavior, catch poachers, and identify high conservation value areas. The non-invasive tool also offers incredible marketing value, showcasing the sometimes little-seen targets of conservation efforts.
2014: the year in rainforests
(12/30/2014) 2014 could be classified as 'The Year of the Zero Deforestation Commitment'. During 2014, nearly two dozen major companies, ranging from palm oil producers to fast food chains to toothpaste makers, established policies to exclude palm oil sourced at the expense of rainforests and peatlands.

|Eh, I catch Cowherd
Eh, I catch Cowherd occasionally for the last hour when Dan Patrick is over and if I happen to be in my car. That show appeals to the lowest common denominator. Cowherd goes for ratings, not for anything intellectual or objective, and I've heard him admit as much. There's very little value in his show.
Unfortunately, the show on 570 after the DP Show ends is just as bad so I'm stuck at times.

Even before he committed, there were reports that he performed well at our camp and got lots of attention from our coaches, so it's not like this is purely a "this kid must be good because Michigan likes him" thing. And it's not like they gave him a crazy high ranking either.

Has Apple, by filing so many patent / IPR violation suits against Samsung in so many countries, marked Samsung as its equal?
Update: 02-Jan-2013:
Galen Gruman, in his post on "2012: The year Android truly challenged iOS" says...
"...also reinforced to the public that Samsung was an innovator -- why else would Apple be so intent on destroying it legally? Even though Samsung lost the biggest battle, in many ways, it may have won the war, at least for buyers' hearts..."
Update: 09-May-2012:
Don Reisinger provides 10 reasons why Apple and Samsung are equal. I would like to draw your attention to point (4) Name recognition is vastly important, (6) Samsung has taken the fight to Apple and (7) The patent battles help!
For those of you who read Harry Potter, here is the parallel. Remember the prophecy? …
"…The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not…and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…"
…and Dumbledore tells Harry that "Voldemort singled you out as the person who would be most dangerous to him — and in doing so, he made you the person who would be most dangerous to him!"
Though, on the one hand Apple has been able to restrict Samsung from selling Galaxy Tab in some of the EU countries, but on the other hand Apple has achieved the following:
(1) In the mind of the customer Samsung is now established as THE competitor for Apple
Read this article titled "Samsung vs. Apple: And the Winner is…" in Forbes and observe the tone! Also note that it is titled Samsung vs. Apple and not Apple vs. Samsung!
(2) Made Samsung management much more aggressive
See this Fox News – "Samsung vs. Apple War Set to Explode"… (again Samsung vs. Apple and not Apple vs. Samsung!)
"…a top Samsung executive says the company will take a bolder stance in its patent battle with smartphone and tablet rival Apple, which Samsung claims has been "free riding" on its patented wireless technologies…"
Thanks to Apple now Samsung can finally shed the tag of being a South Korean company.

However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

We can create these positions in both long and short forms and this ability sets up an interesting scenario--an arbitrage!

This article addresses the impact of systematic ignorance and epistemic uncertainty upon white Western women's participation in anti-racist and transnational feminisms. I argue that a "methodology of the privileged" is necessary for effective coalition-building across racial and geopolitical inequities. Examining both self-reflexivity and racial sedition as existing methods, I conclude that epistemic uncertainty should be considered an additional strategy rather than a dilemma for the privileged.
