Cheltenham Hotels - One of England's grand old spa towns, Cheltenham has been attracting admirers since the 18th Century, when the apparent healing properties of its crystalline waters came to the notice of royalty, as well as the likes of Jane Austen and Lord Byron. Today, the city is a place of quintessential English charm and refinement, with pristine green squares, wrought-iron balconies, and of course some of the most exquisite examples of Regency architecture anywhere in the country. The fact that it's situated right on the edge of the hilly Cotswolds means it's perfect for city breakers and country lovers alike. Things to see Cheltenham Racecourse is one of the most famous circuits in the world, and every March attracts thousands of spectators (and eaters, and drinkers) to the Cheltenham Festival – a major event in the racing calendar which includes the legendary Gold Cup. Listen out for the so-called "Cheltenham Roar" from the crowd when it all gets under way. For a rather quieter day out, Sudeley Castle is a marvel that dates back to the 15th Century and, as well as ornate interiors, features majestic gardens with intricate hedges, sumptuous rosebeds, as well as the tomb of Henry VIII's sixth wife. Not far from Cheltenham is Bourton-on-the-Water, a genteel village whose bridges over the River Windrush have earned it the nickname "Venice of the Cotswolds". Opened in 1899, Cheltenham Art Gallery and Museum is a handsome Regency building with works by the visionary Arts and Crafts pioneer William Morris, while the famed waters of Cheltenham can be sampled at the Pittville Pump Room, which with its Greek-style columns and proud dome is a popular concert venue. Hotels in Cheltenham One of the prettiest and poshest districts is Montpellier, and it's here you'll find many of the more high-end hotels in Cheltenham. You can imagine the kind of luxury they offer, from Egyptian linens to on-site beauty spas, often within the striking Regency buildings for which Cheltenham is so renowned. Boutique townhouse hotels in Cheltenham are particularly perfect for couples on romantic getaways, while there is also cheaper accommodation available around the city which doesn't skimp on flat-screen TVs and free WiFi – ideal for families and business travelers alike. Where to stay It almost goes without saying you'll love staying in the city center. Book a Cheltenham hotel here, and you'll be well placed to see the wide handsome avenues and green spaces that give the city its unique identity. The Promenade is a particular must-see – originating in the 18th Century, it's a beautiful boulevard with Georgian buildings on both sides. It's also close to the Long Garden, with its ornamental flower beds and the intricately-carved Neptune Fountain. Alternatively, if you fancy bedding down away from the city itself, the small market town of Stow-on-the-Wold is full of charm, dotted with galleries, antique shops, and tea rooms, and offering good access to the Cotswolds. How to get to The city is well connected to the rest of the UK thanks to Cheltenham Spa Station, which has rail links with major cities such as London, Cardiff, Bristol, and Plymouth. Cheltenham is also very easy to get to by car, as it lies alongside the M5 motorway. There are special bus services between Cheltenham and Cheltenham Racecourse, making a day out there a doddle.

He began the outdoor track & field championship season with a fourth-place effort at the America East meet with a throw of 54.21m.

Climate change claims a snail
(08/12/2007) The Aldabra banded snail (Rachistia aldabrae), a rare and poorly known species found only on Aldabra atoll in the Indian Ocean, has apparently gone extinct due to declining rainfall in its niche habitat. While some may question lamenting the loss of a lowly algae-feeding gastropod on some unheard of chain of tropical islands, its unheralded passing is nevertheless important for the simple reason that Rachistia aldabrae may be a pioneer. As climate change increasingly brings local and regional shifts in precipitation and temperature, other species are expected to follow in its path.
U.N. sends team to investigate gorilla killings
(08/10/2007) The U.N. said it will send a team of experts to probe the killings of critically endangered mountain gorillas in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Four gorillas were shot "execution-style" last month, while three others have been killed so far this year. Rangers believe illegal charcoal harvesters from Goma are to blame.

Afghanistan's recovery effort drives poaching of rare wildlife
(08/07/2007) Few people associate Afghanistan with wildlife and it would come as a surprise to many that the war-torn, but fledging democracy is home to snow leopards, Persian leopards, five species of bush dog, Marco Polo Sheep, Asiatic Black Bear, Brown Bears, Striped Hyenas, and numerous bird of prey species. While much of this biodiversity has survived despite years of civil strife, Afghanistan's wildlife faces new pressures from the very people who are charged with rebuilding the country: contractors and the development community are driving the trade in rare and endangered wildlife. This development, coupled with lack of laws regulating resource management and growing instability, complicate efforts to protect the country's wildlife. Working to address these challenges is Dr. Alex Dehgan, Afghanistan Country Director for the Wildlife conservation Society (WCS). WCS is working to implement the Afghanistan Biodiversity conservation Program, a three-year project funded by the US Agency for International Development to promote wildlife and resource conservation in the country.
New species discovered in "lost" African forest

U.S. court blocks sonar testing to protect whales
(08/07/2007) A U.S. federal court blocked the Navy from using a type of sonar that environmentalists say pose a threat to whales off the coast of California. The judge noted that the Navy's own analyses concluded that the Southern California exercises "will cause widespread harm to nearly thirty species of marine mammals, including five species of endangered whales, and may cause permanent injury and death" and characterized the Navy's proposed mitigation measures as "woefully inadequate and ineffectual."
Scientists demand release of renowned monkey discoverer in Brazil
(08/06/2007) A prominent group of scientists have issued a petition to free world-renowned primatologist Marc van Roosmalen from Brazilian prison after he was charged with illegally keeping monkeys without a permit and other crimes.

10-20% of birds extinct by 2100 due to global warming, deforestation
(06/04/2007) Ten to twenty percent of the world's terrestrial bird species could be threatened with extinction by 2100 due to climate change and habitat destruction reports a study published in the June 5 issue of the journal PLoS Biology. The numbers are in line with estimates published last year in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Combining future projections on global warming, agricultural expansion and human population growth from the global Millennium Ecosystem Assessment with current geographic ranges of the world's 8,750 species of terrestrial birds, researchers Walter Jetz, David Wilcove, and Andrew Dobson estimate that 950 to 1800 species may be condemned to extinction by 2100.
Colorful marine creatures discovered off Panama
(05/31/2007) Researchers have discovered five new species of sea slug off the coast of Central America. Surveys have found that the region, known as the Tropical Eastern Pacific, is characterized by large numbers of endemic and previously unknown species. The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) reports that recent expeditions have turned up 5 new species of nudibranchs--a group of mollusks lacking outer shells. The discoveries are important because nudibranchs have developed "sophisticated chemical defense mechanisms" which can help with the development of novel medicinal products.
Global warming may be key factor in frog deaths

Global warming is killing coral reefs
(05/07/2007) A new study provides further evidence that climate change is adversely affecting coral reefs. While previous studies have linked higher ocean temperatures to coral bleaching events, the new research, published in PLoS Biology, found that climate change may increasing the incidence of disease in Great Barrier Reef corals. Omniously, the research also shows that healthy reefs, with the highest density of corals, are hit the hardest by disease.
Climate change could dramatically change forests in Central America
(05/02/2007) Drought could cause dramatic shifts in rainforest plant communities in Central America, reports a new study published in the May 3 issue of Nature. The research shows that many rainforest plants are ill-equipped to deal with extended dry periods, putting them at elevated risk from changes in climate projected for the region.
Madagascar' forests are recovering

Federal prosecutors have held settlement talks with some of the nine defendants who have not (yet) pleaded guilty in the Galleon Group insider-trading case. But Galleon founder Raj Rajaratnam and his co-defendant, Danielle Chiesi, are apparently not among them.
On July 13, Reed Brodsky, an assistant U.S. attorney in Manhattan, said that prosecutors have had "conversations with counsel for individuals, including cooperating witnesses and defendants, regarding dispositions in connection" with the Zvi Goffer criminal investigation. Goffer, who has pleaded not guilty, is the former trader at hedge funds Incremental Capital and Schottenfeld Securities who allegedly headed one of the two interlocking insider-trading rings in the case.
The three-week old declaration by Brodsky was made public last week, and came three days before David Plate, a former Schottenfeld trader, pleaded guilty as part of a deal with prosecutors. He was the 12th person to do so in the case.
It is unclear whether Brodsky was referring only to Plate, or if any of the remaining Goffer circle co-defendants, Arthur Cutillo, Craig Drimal, Emanuel Goffer, Jason Goldfarb and Michael Kimelman, are talking about cutting a deal with prosecutors.
Galleon's Rajaratnam and Chiesi, a former executive for hedge fund New Castle Partners, are not part of the Goffer circle.
Also last week, U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan—who is overseeing the Rajaratnam criminal trial—denied a defense bid to get additional materials held by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Brodsky had told Sullivan that his office's talks were "separate and apart from any conversations between the staff of the SEC and" the defendants that prosecutors were discussing settlements with.

Steephead valley
A steephead valley, steephead or blind valley is a deep, narrow, flat bottomed valley with an abrupt ending. Such valleys arise in limestone or karst landscapes, where a layer of permeable rock lies above an impermeable substrate such as marl. They are created by a stream flowing within the permeable rock and eroding it from within, until the rock above collapses opening up a steep narrow valley which is then further eroded by the stream running across the impermeable valley floor. At the head of the valley the stream emerges from the rock as a spring. Notable examples can be found in the Jura region of France, for example the Reculée de Baume at Baume-les-Messieurs and the Reculée d'Arbois with its head at Les Planches-près-Arbois and its exit at Arbois.
In North America, blind valleys (the preferred American term) are found in the Driftless Area.

'Fast and Furious 7' News: Film Footage Shows Hobb in Cirtical Condition, Included in 'Fast and Furious 6' DVD [VIDEO]
Footage featuring Han's funeral from 'Fast and Furious 7' will be featured on the blu-ray DVD for 'Fast and Furious 6,' which will release on Dec. 10.
Footage featuring Han's funeral from the upcoming Fast and Furious 7 will be featured on the blu-ray DVD for Fast and Furious 6, which will release on Dec. 10.
Fans have so far only gotten glimpses from the set of the new film through photos posted by the cast and crew.
Movies.com got access to a pre-release copy of the DVD and said the clip suggests that the "stakes will be raised big time" in the seventh Fast and Furious installment.
The scene features the cast regulars mourning Han's death at his funeral, according to the website. The big reveal is that Hobb's (Dwyane Johnson) is also battling death in a hospital. Johnson has been tweeting images from the set showing his character in the thick of it, with action sequences fraught with danger. After watching the scene, Movies.com speculates that something will happen to him early on in the film.
Here is the website's entire description of the scene where the gang is at Han's funeral:
"If you were hoping that his death at the end of Fast & Furious 6 (which, in a surprise twist, was actually from Tokyo Drift) was a misdirect, it looks like you're out of luck. He's dead for real, and it's hit the gang hard. There aren't any tears shed.. but Vin Diesel does croak out 'You were always my brother, Han. He put you in this grave, so now I'll do the same to him.' "
Han's death was first revealed in the new clip when Ludacris said, '"First Han, now Hobbs is laid up, of all people." At some point between FF6 and FF7, something happened to Hobbs to put him in the hospital.
Fast and Furious 7 will take off from where Fast and Furious 6 left off. Wan took over the director's role from Justin Lin, who announced earlier in the year that he will step away from directing the franchise.
The cast for the seventh installment reprising their roles include Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, Paul Walker, Ludacris and Jordana Brewster. UFC Womens Bantam weight champion Ronda Rousey and ONG Bak star Tony Jaa will also star in the film.
Fast and Furious 7 hits theaters in July 2014.

wii is too weak for such type of games? can anyone advice a racing game on wii except mariocart? i think no... graphics is really crappy.
a game in Brazil with Brazilian names, but really Rio again? That is a thousands of cities in Brazil, and for what I know there is cities with better streets for racing... but it`s fine thou... and a black guy who plays soccer, another cliche...
Definitely will purchase! Looks like it could be one of the best racing titles for the Wii to date!
EA loves money. They will release anything to make it.
yes! Police!!
I likes this nfs better than the 360/ps3 versions. This is the way the series should keep 'er dialed in at, eh? Aw come on, eh?
looks good. btw rio de janeiro is represented very well here even though is not as cool as ppl think not to say is crawling with thieves and drug dealers contrary to South Brazil that looks like another country regarding culture, race and everything, I mean it's a way better place to visit or to live and you rarely see "mulatos" or black people there, nothing agains't them I just mentioned that because games like this one like to represent brazilians as "mulatos", cmon 50% of population is caucasian white(80% in south). EA should sponsor Florianópolis - SC, totally owns Rio in my opinion, I'm tired of Rio. I hope one day people will stop thinking all cities in Brazil look like Rio. For me Rio is overated, you can find tons of better cities in the South.
shift is so crap
looks okay for wii but shift for 360 is hot!!
this game really REALLY looks like mega crap....the tires look 2 times too big for the cars ( and no they shouldn't look like that even if your going 200 mph ) yea its on the wii but it shouldn't look like a childs cartoon EA has gone off the deep end with the need for speed series ever since carbon.....
Man, I have to get this game.
@ flavio_trucker america is not making this game, it's canada
IDK wat y'all sayngg...!!! (the ones saying "ITS MEEGGAA CRAP" cause from my point of view it AINT!!! it lookss good for the "crappy" graphics of the Wii.... definitely buy this one...
This game looks like mega crap.....
I am brazilian, and honestly, i dont like how the game producers view our country from a cultural point. Anyway, Rio environment on game looks good and the game looks fun.
Was that a siren I heard?

I have to agree with all my brazilian buddies!Since im brazilian too lol! For crying out loud,even Driver 2 on PSone had a more accurate voice acting and most things were well translated,and like Flavio_Trucker said: "Brasil is bigger than Rio, we don't speak spanish and our culture is far different from the Mexican culture. Latin America isn't all the same, damn it." So,sorry EA but you fail!Loll!
Capoeira exist in Brazil, i live here you need a kevlar tire to drive in Rio
Capoeira doesn't exist in Brazil either apparently... rofl I'm from the U.S. and this even insults me at how much information is terribly wrong in this trailer...
Really.. I'm from Rio and I have to agree with the comments so far.. And Konami.. please.. you want to do a soccer game and forget that the five times champion of the world, one of the most relevant soccer nations of the world (arguably the most relevant), Brazil speaks portuguese! Do your homework! What the hell.. all you need to do is Wikipedia. but I guess this isn't the forum for this discussion.. NFS looks alright for a wii game.
Dear EA, please bring back Most Wanted!!!
100% agree with @fire_wolf_br Damn Brazil related games tend to show us the major ignorance that runs the head of the americans. God, Brasil is bigger than Rio, we don't speak spanish and our culture is far different from the Mexican culture. Latin America isn't all the same, damn it.
Why the heck all these game productors who try to do anything Brazil-related always miss something? In this case, the "Policia", where it's actually "Polícia". Or, on the other hand, where Konami thinks we speak spanish on their PES games.
im sorry, but i honestly think it looks like crap.
@ Virtual Erkan Since the Wii graphics are not as good as the other systems maybe a more cartoonish look for th game is better for the Wii than a realalistic look.
It is more like a cartoon game
a must buy....i like it...go wii
looks stylish... definitely a departure from the previous installments in the series when it comes to looks.
Looking pretty good for the "low end" consoles from a graphical point of view. I am definitly going to be trying this on both. High hopes that, with the exception of Mario Kart, we are now going to get a decent racer on each of these consoles - long over due IMO.

Police in Thailand say three Iranian nationals held in connection with a bomb blast in the Thai capital on Tuesday were plotting to attack Israeli diplomats.
Thai police chief General Prewpan Dhamapong told a local television station that the suspects in the botched plot, which came to light after an apparently unintended explosion at a house in Bangkok, had a specific target.
"I can tell you that the target was specific and aimed at Israeli diplomatic staff," General Prewpan Dhamapong said in the interview late on Wednesday.
He said that the type of explosive - a homemade "sticky" bomb - found at the blast site on Tuesday matched the devices planted on Israeli diplomatic cars in India and Georgia a day earlier.
"The type of improvised explosives they used were the same. The type that was attached to vehicles," he said, confirming that an investigation into a magnetic strip found in Bangkok was the same type used in New Delhi.
Thai authorities stepped up security at embassies and tourist areas on Thursday in response to the incident.
Accidental explosion
Five people, including one of the suspects, were injured in the incident, which began with the accidental explosion of a grenade, police said.
One explosive device first went off in the suspects' home. Another was thrown at a taxi that would not take one of the men who left the house following the explosion.
The third blew off the man's leg when he tried to throw it at police and it either went off before he could throw it or it hit something and ricocheted back at him.
The injured man, identified as Saeid Moradi, was in stable condition in a Bangkok hospital, although he remained unconscious after 10 hours of surgery, Suparung Preechayuth, a hospital surgeon, said.
Another Iranian was detained in Bangkok on Tuesday after fleeing the destroyed house, while a third was arrested on Wednesday in neighbouring Malaysia after boarding a flight from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur overnight.
Police were also looking for the woman who originally rented the house.
Iranian 'aggression'
Binyamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, accused Iran of targeting diplomats, saying that if the world did not stop Iran's "aggression", the attacks would spread.
"It harms innocent diplomats in many countries and the nations of the world must condemn Iran's terror actions and demarcate red lines against Iranian aggression," he said.
"If such aggression is not stopped it will spread to many countries."
Iran has denied any involvement in the blasts, saying Israel often made such accusations.
Iranian state TV quoted Ramin Mehmanparast, the country's foreign ministry spokesman, as saying that Israel was behind the explosions.
"The main goal of the Zionist regime is to conceal its real essence in carrying out terrorist acts particularly assassinating Iran's scientists," the state news agency IRNA quoted Mehmanparast as saying.
"We are not accepting, we are denying this and I don't know how they [the Israelis] can assume within a short time of one hour that to say who has done this," Iran's ambassador to India, Seyed Mehdi Nabizadeh, said, referring to the New Delhi attack.
"It has happened in India. If India's security says something like that, then we have to verify."
India 'lacks evidence'
India said it did not have enough evidence to reach a firm conclusion.
"The Indian government does not have any evidence pointing to any individual, entity, organisation or country being involved in Monday's blast, so far," a foreign ministry spokesman said.
The attack on an Israeli diplomatic car in the Indian capital left a female diplomat and three other people injured.
Police in Georgia, meanwhile, said they had thwarted on an Israeli diplomatic vehicle on the same day.
Russia has condemned the bomb attacks and called on both countries to investigate but did not accuse Iran or any other country of involvement.
Russia "decisively condemns these attacks by extremists", the foreign ministry said in a statement.
"We are convinced there can be no justification for terrorism in all its forms."
