Expression of septin 3 isoforms in human brain
ABSTRACT Septin 3 is a novel member of the septin subfamily of GTPase domain proteins. Human septin 3 was originally cloned during a screening of genes expressed in human teratocarcinoma cells induced to differentiate with retinoic acid. Alternative splicing of the septin 3 gene transcript produces two isoforms, A and B, in the human brain, though their regional expression and physiological function remain to be determined. The purpose of the present study was to identify the expression patterns of human septin 3 isoforms in normal human brain and a human neuroblastoma cell line, SH-SY5Y, after retinoic acid-induced differentiation. The expression and distribution patterns of septin 3 isoforms A and B were similar and resembled that of another septin, CDCrel-1. Septin 3A and 3B were expressed in normal human brain in a region-specific manner, with the highest level in the temporal cortex and hippocampus and the lowest level in the brainstem regions. Prominent immunoreactivity was observed diffusely in the neocortices in association with neuropils and punctate structures suggestive of synaptic junctions. Immunoprecipitation studies revealed that septin 3A, 3B, and CDCrel-1 form a complex in the frontal cortex of human brain. These findings, taken together, suggest that septin 3A and 3B, along with CDCrel-1, play some fundamental role(s) in synaptogenesis and neuronal development.
Article: Peanut-like 1 (septin 5) gene expression in normal and neoplastic human endocrine pancreas.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Peanut-like 1 (PNUTL1) is a septin gene which is expressed at high levels in human brain. There it plays a role in the process of membrane fusion during exocytosis by interacting with syntaxin and synaptophysin. As the secretory apparatus of pancreatic islet cells closely resembles that of neurons, we decided to study the expression of PNUTL1 in the human endocrine pancreas, both in normal islets and in pancreatic endocrine tumors (PETs). Normal pancreatic tissue, purified islets, 11 PETs and two cell lines were used to evaluate the presence of PNUTL1 by RT-PCR and Western blot. The expression of the PNUTL1 protein was also evaluated by immunohistochemistry on normal pancreas, additional 26 PETs, eight pancreatic adenocarcinomas, one mixed endocrine-exocrine pancreatic neoplasm, a specimen of solid papillary pseudomucinous tumor, an adult islet cell hyperplasia and a case of neonatal nesidioblastosis. In addition, a tissue array (LandMark High Density Cancer Tissue MicroArray) comprising 280 various tumor and matched normal specimens was utilized. In PETs, the expression of pancreatic hormones, chromogranin-A, synaptophysin and Ki-67 were also evaluated. In the normal pancreas PNUTL1 expression is almost exclusively confined to the islet cells, weak expression was occasionally seen in some acinar cells, while immunoreactivity was completely absent in the ductal epithelia. PNUTL1 expression is maintained at similar high levels in hyperplastic and neoplastic islet cells, but this did not correlate with any of the clinicopathological data nor with proliferation status in PETs. Weak immunoreactivity was also noted in a proportion of exocrine neoplasms. Our findings describe for the first time the high expression levels of PNUTL1 in human pancreatic endocrine cells that suggests a similar role of this protein in islet cells to that demonstrated in neuronal tissues, and warrants further functional studies of this protein.Neuroendocrinology 02/2005; 81(5):311-21.

Article: Targeted disruption of Sept3, a heteromeric assembly partner of Sept5 and Sept7 in axons, has no effect on developing CNS neurons.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The septins constitute a family of GTPase proteins that are involved in many cytological processes such as cytokinesis and exocytosis. Previous studies have indicated that mammalian Sept3 is a brain-specific protein that is abundant in synaptic terminals. Here, we further investigated the localization and function of Sept3 in the mouse brain. Sept3 is expressed in several types of post-mitotic neurons, including granule cells in the cerebellum and pyramidal neurons in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. In primary cultures of hippocampal pyramidal neurons, Sept3 protein is enriched at the tips of growing neurites during differentiation. Sept3 directly binds to Sept5 and Sept7 and forms a heteromeric complex at nerve terminals adjacent to where a synaptic vesicle marker, synaptophysin, is expressed in mature neurons. When over-expressed in HEK293 cells, Sept3 forms filamentous structures that are dependent on the presence of its GTP- and phosphoinositide-binding domains. To investigate the physiological roles of Sept3, we generated Sept3 deficient mice. These mice show no apparent abnormalities in histogenesis nor neuronal differentiation in culture. Expression of synaptic proteins and other septins are unaltered, indicating that Sept3 is dispensable for normal neuronal development.Journal of Neurochemistry 08/2007; 102(1):77-92.

Article: The Fox and the Rabbits—Environmental Variables and Population Genetics (1) Replication Problems in Association Studies and the Untapped Power of GWAS (2) Vitamin A Deficiency, Herpes Simplex Reactivation and Other Causes of Alzheimer's Disease[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Classical population genetics shows that varying permutations of genes and risk factors permit or disallow the effects of causative agents, depending on circumstance. For example, genes and environment determine whether a fox kills black or white rabbits on snow or black ash covered islands. Risk promoting effects are different on each island, but obscured by meta-analysis or GWAS data from both islands, unless partitioned by different contributory factors. In Alzheimer's disease, the foxes appear to be herpes, borrelia or chlamydial infection, hypercholesterolemia, hyperhomocysteinaemia, diabetes, cerebral hypoperfusion, oestrogen depletion, or vitamin A deficiency, all of which promote beta-amyloid deposition in animal models—without the aid of gene variants. All relate to risk factors and subsets of susceptibility genes, which condition their effects. All are less prevalent in convents, where nuns appear less susceptible to the ravages of ageing. Antagonism of the antimicrobial properties of beta-amyloid by Abeta autoantibodies in the ageing population, likely generated by antibodies raised to beta-amyloid/pathogen protein homologues, may play a role in this scenario. These agents are treatable by diet and drugs, vitamin supplementation, pathogen detection and elimination, and autoantibody removal, although again, the beneficial effects of individual treatments may be tempered by genes and environment.01/2011; DOI:10.5402/2011/394678

I guess you all know about the cell phone law in NJ.I say it's about time,what the hell is so important that they need yap about it while driving.
Area police begin ringing up violations as cell-phone ban hits the road in N.J.
Published: Monday, March 03, 2008
From Press staff reports
New Jersey's upgraded penalty for using handheld devices on the road ensnared a few local drivers this weekend, although most police departments said they hadn't compiled statistics for the first two days of enforcement.
A new $100 fine makes handheld activity behind the wheel a primary offense - enough by itself to warrant a traffic stop.
Sgt. Jason Carroll, of the Barnegat Township Police Department in Ocean County, said drivers appeared more vigilant in obeying the law than when it was a secondary offense. His department didn't write its first ticket for a cell phone violation until Sunday afternoon, he said.
"Absolutely," Carroll said when asked whether motorists were cooperating. "As I was out driving, it was really hard to notice anyone on their phones. Typically, before the law, they would put their phones on their lap. Now it's hard to see anyone on phones."
As an extra measure, Barnegat police placed a sign at the entrance of the Garden State Parkway warning motorists not to
talk on their cell phones, Carroll said.
In Cumberland County, troopers at the State Police barracks in Port Norris handed out pamphlets explaining the law. Trooper Barry Saul said his Port Norris squad issued two or three tickets by early Sunday afternoon.
"We're in full effect in enforcing it," Saul said. "If our guys see it, they are going to stop them and will be issuing tickets." No area police departments reported any offenses

12 Best Banks to Bank With | No Fees, High Yield Savings Accounts, Reviews
The Best Rated Banks in 2015
What are the factors you consider when searching for the best banks to bank with?
Are banks with "no fees" at the top of your list?
What about banks that provide added value (i.e., perks)? Would you consider this an extremely important factor for finding and choosing a best bank to bank with?
For example, in regards to added value, a lot of individuals consider high yield savings, high yield checking accounts, and ATM fee refunds as important "added value" factors when searching for the best bank to open an account.
With this article, we are presenting a list of the top rated banks in 2015, as well as reviewing some of the important factors that you should consider before signing up with a bank.
Top 12 best banks to bank with | No fees, high yield savings, checking accounts, ATM refunds
Sorted alphabetically:
- Ally Bank
- American Express Bank
- Bank of Internet USA
- Capital One Bank
- CiTBank
- Discover Bank
- EverBank
- FNBO Direct
- GE Capital Bank
- Lake Michigan Credit Union
- SallieMae Bank
- Synchrony Bank
You can also check out: Barclays Online Banking and Savings Review. Barclays currently offers a 1% APY on its online savings account, which is a higher interest rate than what is offered by a few of the banks on our list.
However, Barclays has not been included on our list, due to the higher than average customer complaints against the bank.

Selection Criteria: Top 12 Online Banks to Bank with in the US
After applying various ranking and comparison criteria (No fees: $0 monthly fees, $0 minimum balance, high yield savings or high yield checking accounts, ATM fee refunds, etc.), we were able to narrow the selection down to the banks listed above.
Most of the banks on our list are able to provide such high yielding savings and checking accounts, and pay higher APYs because of their unique banking business model.
For example, a lot of them:
- Do not operate many bank branches
- Do not hire nearly as many employees as traditional brick-and-mortal banks
- Rely heavily on automated online tools
... and based on the above factors, many of these banks are able to pass along these "overhead cost savings" as additional interest to their depositors.

Key Variables Used in our Selection of the Top Rate Best Banks Providing High Yielding Accounts
1. Type of Account
High yield checking or savings? A high yield checking account comes with greater flexibility than a high yield savings account.
Banking regulations place limits on savings accounts. You are only allowed to make six free transfers / withdraws each statement cycle
2. High Yield APY (High yield paying checking / savings accounts)
The APY (Annual Percentage Yield) is the annual interest rate that the bank pays you.
Having as high a yield as possible is a high priority for most individuals.
3. ATM Fees Refund
Some of the best banks on our list will refund your ATM fees, up to a particular amount.
This allows you to use any bank's ATM and get refunded the ATM fee that you are charged for using that other bank's ATM machine.
4. Monthly Fees
On our list of top banks, we focused on banks with $0 monthly fees.
5. Minimum Balance
The minimum balance is the minimum amount of money that a bank requires you to keep in your account each month. For our top rated banks, we focused on those firms with a $0 minimum.
6. Account Opening Deposit (Minimum $$$ to Open Account)
Initial deposit required by some banks when you open an account
7. Requirements
Most of the banks listed here require you to meet a few requirements in order to qualify for the high interest paying account.
In addition, one or more of the top banks on our list only provide services to residents in a particular state or to individuals that are part of a group or affiliation
All the banks on our list are FDIC insured.
In the unlikely event that any of these banks would fail, the FDIC would step in and "reimburse" your funds in the failed bank - up to $250,000 per bank and per beneficiary for checking, savings and CD accounts.
The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) is backed by the full faith of the US government, and the $250,000 is the maximum amount allowed by law at FDIC insured banks.
In addition to savings, checking and CD accounts, money market accounts and other types of demand deposits are also insured.
With a combination of accounts, it is possible for you and your family to increase the $250,000 maximum insurance limit.
Here is an example of how a couple could raise the ceiling on the FDIC maximum:

Leonardo DiCaprio & Jamie Foxx to Star in MEAN BUSINESS Film Adaptation for Warner Bros
According to Deadline, DJANGO UNCHAINED leads Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx are set to reunite for the film adaptation of S. Craig Zahler's pending novel MEAN BUSINESS for Warner Bros.
DiCaprio will also serve as producer on the project, which Zahler will also adapt. As of now, no director is attached.
Per Deadline, "The tale starts off with a bang: DiCaprio is a hardened detective who, after being told by a man that his beautiful wife is missing, tells him she is a hooker who obviously made off with his money. After the man commits a desperate tragic act right in the squad room, the disgraced detective is sent to a hellhole rust belt town called Victory, Missouri, where violent crime is skyrocketing. Partnered with an equally bad-assed detective who was demoted for publicly brutalizing a suspect (Foxx), the new partners get to do some real work. Police officers start showing up dead execution-style, and the cops think it might be open season on Victory's police department."
For the original report, click here.
Foxx is currently working on The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and will next be seen in White House Down. Foxx last appeared in Django Unchained and took home an Academy Award and a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in the film Ray. He is also a Grammy winning musician. His albums include Unpredictable, Best Night of My Life and Intuition.
DiCaprio is just coming off of Baz Luhrmann's remake of THE GREAT GATSBY, and can next be seen in Martin Scorsese's THE WOLF OF WALL STREET opposite Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, Jean Dujardin, Jon Favreau, and Cristin Milioti.

More forest statistics for Liberia
While Liberia's brutal civil war delayed the commercial exploitation of its rainforests during the 1990s, "conflict timber" was a key source of revenue for warring factions. The harvesting of this wood, combined with collateral damage from military operations and wildlife poaching, took a heavy toll on Liberia's forests. With the end of the war, Liberia's new government—which took power at end of the war in 1998—immediately established forestry as a national priority and instituted a five-year tax holiday on timber industries. This policy, combined with the return of commercial interests to the country, repopulation, and reconstruction efforts, has put pressure on Liberia's remaining forest resources. Since the close of the 1990s, deforestation rates have increased by 17 percent, and primary forest cover in the country has fallen to just over 1.3 percent of the total land area (or 4.1 percent of the forest cover).
After granting large concessions to timber firms, the Liberian government essentially lost control over logging in much of the country. In June 2005, the director of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in Liberia warned that the forest and its associated resources were at a very "high risk of facing depletion" from illegal logging and land invasions by gold miners.
Since the United Nations Security imposed strict sanctions on Liberia in 2003, the government has not legitimately earned any revenue from the timber sector. As such, virtually all logging in Liberia has been illegal and will continue to be until the country is able to meet conditions set forth by the UN which include: increased transparency in timber transactions, government control over the forestry sector, and the banishment of the use of militias by logging firms. Until the government is able to rein in illicit activities in the country's forests, illegal logging will continue to take a heavy toll on Liberia's natural resources. Further pressure from subsistence activities—about 98% of the country's energy needs are met by fuelwood and charcoal according to the ITTO—will not help the situation.
Despite these challenges, things may be looking up for Liberia's forests. After announcing the expansion of Sapo National Park and the creation of the Nimba Nature Reserve in 2003, the government has worked with international NGOs to monitor and address illegal activities in the country's national park. In November 2005, Conservation International (CI) led a survey to assess Liberia`s remaining biodiversity. At last count, the country was home to 2,200 species of plants, 193 mammals, and 576 bird species.
On paper, nearly 16 percent of Liberia is now under some form of protection.

Meager post-Ebola harvests worsen food insecurity in West Africa
(06/25/2015) The chaos caused by the Ebola outbreak made it much more than a public health issue in affected West African nations. Farmers, who are central to West African economies, suffered, and the effects have hampered the region's efforts to recover from the disease.
Coordinated protests hit Socfin plantations in four countries
(06/05/2015) French NGO ReAct is coordinating protest actions against the plantation operations of Socfin, a Belgian company with origins in the Belgian Congo. Yesterday, protesters gathered in Paris outside the headquarters of Bolloré, another conglomerate which holds a 39 percent stake in Socfin. Other demonstrations have been staged in three African countries and Cambodia in recent weeks.
World's critical habitats lost Connecticut-size area of forest in a decade
(05/08/2015) Many of the world's endangered animals live in only one place, making them hugely susceptible to environmental upset. One fell swoop, and entire species could disappear from existence forever. New analysis shows that possibility may be edging closer and closer to reality in some areas, with forests known to harbor high-risk species losing an area of tree cover the size of Connecticut in a little over a decade.
Criticism of GAR and Wilmar African oil palm projects highlight global 'no-deforestation' challenges
(04/16/2015) Despite high-profile no-deforestation policies, palm oil giants Golden Agri-Resources and Wilmar have attracted criticism recently over their projects in Africa, particularly regarding the correct implementation of free, prior and informed consent (FPIC) of affected communities. Some NGOs have suggested these persistent problems indicate no lessons have been learned from years of bad practice in Indonesia.
Local land rights may be in danger from push for palm oil in Liberia
(03/12/2015) The rights of local and indigenous peoples aren't being adequately protected in the drive for economic development, according to a report published in February by the Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI), a coalition of forest-oriented organizations. For a place like Liberia, reeling from both decades of persistent poverty and the recent Ebola epidemic, economic development seems critical at just about any cost.
Rainforest loss increased in the 2000s, concludes new analysis
(02/25/2015) Loss of tropical forests accelerated roughly 60 percent during the 2000s, argues a paper published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. The findings contradict previous research suggesting that deforestation slowed since the 1990s. The study is based on a map of 1990 forest cover developed last year by Do-Hyung Kim and colleagues from the University of Maryland. The map, which includes 34 countries that contain 80 percent of the world's tropical forests, enabled the researchers to establish a consistent baseline for tracking forest cover change across regions and countries over time.
Scientists sound the alarm on African palm oil investment
(02/20/2015) Africa's people, forests and wildlife are in trouble if the mostly unbridled expansion of oil palm in West and Central Africa is allowed to continue unchecked, says an organization of African scientists.
Financial pledges for REDD+ slow to be disbursed, finds report
(01/27/2015) Only a small fraction of the $7.3 billion pledged under the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation (REDD+) program has actually been disbursed, find a new report that tracked REDD+ finance in seven countries. The report, published by Forest Trends, analyzed REDD+ financial flows between 2009 and 2012 in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Ghana, Liberia, Tanzania and Vietnam
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.
Greenpeace: zero deforestation pioneer makes progress, but still has work to do
(12/22/2014) Half a decade ago, Golden-Agri Resources (GAR) was losing customers right and left in the midst of a Greenpeace campaign that blamed the Singapore-based palm oil giant for destroying forests in Indonesia. Then in February 2011, GAR surprised the world when it announced it would no longer clear rainforests or peatlands for new plantations. The company also committed to resolving social conflicts and respecting the right of local communities to reject plantation development on their traditional lands. Observers thought it could be mark the beginning a transformation in how palm oil was produced.
Developing land without approval of local people 'a human rights issue of grave concern,' says new report
(11/20/2014) Throughout the tropics, staggering amounts of land have been designated for natural resource extraction—as much as 40 percent of Peru, 30 percent of Indonesia and 35 percent of Liberia. However, much of this land is already in use; it is being inhabited by local communities and indigenous peoples. And while it is possible to live on and extract resources from the same land, when local communities are not consulted in this exchange, conflict may erupt.
Destroyed habitat, fewer resources, Ebola: the many repercussions of Liberia's deforestation
(10/29/2014) Liberia is one of the last strongholds of intact forest in West Africa. These forests are the home of many unique species of plants and animals, and many Liberians rely on the forests for direct economic benefits. The presence of intact forests may even be important for preventing the future outbreak of disease such as Ebola, which can be transmitted to people from animal vectors displaced by deforestation.
Scientists use genes, feces to study disappearing monkeys
(09/24/2014) Human pressures through tree clearing and poaching are reducing both forest and fauna in West Africa. In response to dwindling primate populations, scientists used genetics techniques to examine their makeup and outlook – demonstrating the usefulness of such methods in the study of animals that are becoming ever-fewer in number and ever-harder to find.
Norway to pay Liberia to stop deforestation
(09/23/2014) In one of the many major announcements that have come out of the UN Climate Summit in New York this week, Norway says it will pay Liberia to stop cutting down its forests. Norway's payment will come on the form of development aid for the war-torn, impoverished, and now Ebola-ridden West African nation.
Don't eat or touch bat bushmeat amid worsening Ebola outbreak, UN warns
(07/29/2014) The world's worst Ebola outbreak was likely begun by a hunter shooting a fruit bat for their dinner or the market, according to the UN. The outbreak has killed over 660 people in six months to date, and recently spread via plane to Nigeria. The disease is particularly deadly with a mortality rate of around 90 percent.
Invasion of the oil palm: western Africa's native son returns, threatening great apes
(07/28/2014) As palm oil producers increasingly look to Africa's tropical forests as suitable candidates for their next plantations, primate scientists are sounding the alarm about the destruction of ape habitat that can go hand in hand with oil palm expansion. A recent study sought to take those warnings a step further by quantifying the overlap in suitable oil palm land with current ape habitat.
Deutsche Bank dumps controversial palm oil company
(05/27/2014) Deutsche Bank has sold its stake in Bumitama, an Indonesian palm company that has been embroiled in controversy over alleged destruction of rainforests and peatlands in Borneo, reports Friends of the Earth Europe.
Over 9,000 primates killed for single bushmeat market in West Africa every year
(03/24/2014) Over the past 25 years, West Africa's primates have been put at risk due to an escalating bushmeat trade compounded with forest loss from expanding human populations. In fact, many endemic primates in the Upper Guinea forests of Liberia and Ivory Coast have been pushed to the verge of extinction. To better understand what's happening, a recent study in mongabay.com's open-access journal Tropical Conservation Science investigated the bushmeat exchange between these neighboring countries.
Rainforest news review for 2013
(12/26/2013) 2013 was full of major developments in efforts to understand and protect the world's tropical rainforests. The following is a review of some of the major tropical forest-related news stories for the year. As a review, this post will not cover everything that transpired during 2013 in the world of tropical forests. Please feel free to highlight anything this post missed via the comments section at the bottom. Also please note that this review focuses only on tropical forests.
Palm oil companies ignoring community rights, new study shows
(11/07/2013) Some of the largest palm oil companies are clearing forests and peatlands without seeking consent of local communities, leading to a spate of unresolved conflicts in plantation concessions around the world, warns a coalition of NGOs and researchers. Members of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) are violating the rights of local communities in tropical forests and failing to live up to social and environmental commitments, the coalition said in a report released on Thursday.
Investors beware: global land grabbing ends in 'financial damage' and human rights violations
(02/07/2013) Investing in companies that flout local community rights in developing countries often leads to severe economic losses, according to a new report from the Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI). A rising trend in "land grabbing" from Africa to South America by corporations and even foreign governments results in social instability, which can lead to large-scale protests, violence, and even murder, delaying and sometimes derailing projects. Such instability poses massive risk to any investor, not to mention supporting corporate entities that are accused of ignoring human rights.
40% of Liberia's forests granted for logging
(09/04/2012) 40 percent of Liberia's forests have been granted to logging companies operating outside the country's strict forestry laws, alleges a new investigation by Global Witness, Save My Future Foundation (SAMFU) and Sustainable Development Institute (SDI).
Ten African nations pledge to transform their economies to take nature into account
(06/11/2012) Last month ten African nations, led by Botswana, pledged to incorporate "natural capital" into their economies. Natural capital, which seeks to measure the economic worth of the services provided by ecosystems and biodiversity—for example pollination, clean water, and carbon—is a nascent, but growing, method to curtail environmental damage and ensure more sustainable development. Dubbed the Gaborone Declaration, the pledge was signed by Botswana, Liberia, Namibia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Gabon, Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, and Tanzania following a two day summit.
The camera trap revolution: how a simple device is shaping research and conservation worldwide
(02/14/2012) I must confess to a recent addiction: camera trap photos. When the Smithsonian released 202,000 camera trap photos to the public online, I couldn't help but spend hours transfixed by the private world of animals. There was the golden snub-monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana), with its unmistakably blue face staring straight at you, captured on a trail in the mountains of China. Or a southern tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla), a tree anteater that resembles a living Muppet, poking its nose in the leaf litter as sunlight plays on its head in the Peruvian Amazon. Or the dim body of a spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) led by jewel-like eyes in the Tanzanian night. Or the less exotic red fox (Vulpes vulpes) which admittedly appears much more exotic when shot in China in the midst of a snowstorm. Even the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca), an animal I too often connect with cartoons and stuffed animals, looks wholly real and wild when captured by camera trap: no longer a symbol or even a pudgy bear at the zoo, but a true animal with its own inner, mysterious life.
Mysterious pygmy hippo filmed in Liberia
(12/19/2011) Conservationists have captured the first ever footage (see video below) of the elusive pygmy hippo (Choeropsis liberiensis) in Liberia. The forest-dwelling, nocturnal species—weighing only a quarter of the size of the well-known common hippo (Hippopotamus amphibius)—has proven incredibly difficult to study. But the use of camera traps in Liberia's Sapo National Park has allowed researchers a glimpse into its cryptic life.

Next: The Great American Canyon Band
By editor
The Great American Canyon Band is a Baltimore indie-folk act featuring husband-and-wife duo Paul and Krystal Jean Masson. The pair's first single, "Tumbleweed," is a lovely, dreamy piece of countrified rock, destined for road trips. The rest of the self-titled EP came out in May, and an additional track, "Young Lady," was released on Sept. 5; it's available for download here.
The duo's harmony-rich sound is alternately mellow, sad, wistful, romantic and sweeping. The Great American Canyon Band has been compared to The Duchess & The Duke and Lost in the Trees. WXPN's The Key describes the pair's EP as "a gorgeous collection of hypnotic songs that draws on [a] heady mix of dream pop, acousticana and psychedelia."

Excellent location opposite Newcastle Central Railway Station and minutes wakj from Centre for Life and main shopping areas. Excellent breakfast, clean and well eqipped bedrooms and ensuite. tolietries, tea, coffee etc. Does not have the feel of a chain hotel, with individual style, quirky corridors etc. Very helpful, courteous and attentive staff at reception and breakfast. The room was not big, but suitable enough for myself - booked as a single - and on the 5th floor did feel a bit like an attic, but I like attics!! The lifts small and a bit on the slow side. I would certainly stay there again
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Opposite Newcastle's Central Rail and Bus Station, this beautifully preserved 19th-century building is now a modern hotel. The County Hotel by Thistle, located in the heart of Newcastle city centre, is just minutes from restaurants, bars and theatres as well as the Quayside area. St James' Park, home of Newcastle United FC, is a 10-minute walk away. The Metro Radio Arena, O2 Academy and Sage Gateshead are located within walking distance of the hotel. With a flat-screen satellite TV, an in-room safe and tea and coffee making facilities, the rooms also have 24-hour room service available.

7 Things to Do While Fake-Working This Week
The days between Christmas and New Year's Day are some of the strangest in the American office environment. A critical mass of your co-workers will have foolishly decided to expend some critical vacation days. As a result, those of us Left Behind to work during this week don't really have all that much work to do or any kind of meaningful supervision. And yet, conscience requires us to spend time in the office.
What is to be done?
- Clean your office. Your office is a mess! Well maybe it's just my office. But this is a great 52nd-week activity. It involves being in the office, it's basically work-related, and you've got the time.
- Read Josh Levin's profile of Linda Taylor. It's too long to digest during conventional slacking off but far too brilliant to go unread. Now is the time.
- Read some listicles. 'Tis the season.
- Set up your Amazon subscriptions. Even if you don't deploy a fake baby, Amazon Subscribe & Save can save you a bunch of time and money on common household items and groceries. But getting started with a set of subscriptions can be tedious. Guess who's got plenty of time for tedious staring-at-a-computer tasks this week? You!
- Write your congressman about something. Normal people never send mail to their senator or member of Congress. Consquently, members of Congress' perception of what voters care about and think is massively skewed by the priorities of socially deviant frequent letter-writers. Step up and be a weirdo for once and let your elected officials know what you think. The looming expiration of unemployment insurance benefits would be a good topic.
- Patronize a local business. You are bored at the office today. But at least you're getting paid. Think of the poor servers working at business district food service establishments suffering through a day of massively reduced sales and tips. Make sure to head out and spend some money. Christmas is a macroeconomic miracle on average, but don't leave anyone out in the cold.
- Do your damn job. There's probably something useful you could be doing, right?

quintain estates & dev plc
quintain estates & dev plc (QUTDF) Key Developments
To provide an update for private investors
Quintain announced that Simon Laffin, independent non-executive director and Chairman of the Audit Committee, has confirmed that he will step down from the Board at the Annual General Meeting on July 20, 2015.
Quintain Estates and Development plc reported consolidated earnings results for the year ended March 31, 2015. For the year, the company reported revenue of £57.7 million compared to £32.6 million a year ago. Operating profit was £41.4 million compared to £12.5 million a year ago. Profit before tax was £40.7 million compared to £4.7 million a year ago. Profit from continuing operations was £38.1 million or 7.2 pence per basic and diluted share compared to £11 million or 2.1 pence per basic and diluted share a year ago. Profit attributable to equity holders was £37.9 million or 7.2 pence per basic and diluted share compared to £52.9 million or 2.1 pence per basic and diluted share a year ago. Net cashflow from operating activities was £12.7 million against net cash outflow from operating activities of £21.2 million reported last year. Purchase of owner-occupied properties, plant and equipment was £2.7 million against £1.8 million reported last year. Purchase and development of investment properties was £97.3 million against £69.0 million reported last year. Adjusted profit before tax was £6.2 million compared to £4.2 million a year ago. Net debt at 31 March 2015 was £200.8 million against £208.9 million at March 31, 2014.
Maxwell James, Chief Executive of Quintain Estates and Development plc (LSE:QED) said, "It gets some pace behind it and we will look to selectively acquire assets in London particularly where we can see the opportunity to use our development skills to potentially add incremental value."
Quintain Estates and Development plc has established a second joint venture with Keystone Alto S.A. ("Keystone") to deliver the next 260,000 sq ft residential development at Wembley Park. The joint venture will pay Quintain £19.0 million for the unserviced 1.5 acre plot ("Alto") and, separately, £8.0 million under an agreement for infrastructure to be delivered in the future: a total of £27.0 million. Net of the JV equity commitment, for its respective roles as a 50% partner and land vendor, Quintain will own 50% of the equity in the joint venture and receive cash proceeds of £14.3 million, paid around completion of the transaction, with a further £4.0 million to be paid on completion of the first phase, anticipated in 2017. Two buildings comprising 362 homes will be built on the plot, either side of a private courtyard garden. 120 of the homes will be constructed for Quintain, for which the Company will pay the joint venture £36.8 million. Of this amount, £7.3 million will be paid now and £3.7 million in October, with the balance paid from existing Company resources on practical completion, expected in 2017. These homes will be retained by Quintain and professionally managed as high quality private rental sector ("PRS") accommodation to expand the Group's income. In addition, Quintain's appointment as development and project manager for Alto will generate fee income of approximately £3.7 million over the next two years, further enhancing the Group's earnings.

★ Jenny Lewis ★
So I guess some other stuff happened but cut to the chase & yay Jenny Lewis, my favorite. I've only seen her once before; I'm not necessarily a concert fanatic, & I have pretty curmudgeonly opinions. Notably, I just won't go to your show if it is at a big venue. I have no interest in that, no matter how much I like your music. Since Jenny Lewis tends to play in NJ venues or open for folks, I usually don't try too hard to make it happen, but I am really glad we did. Jennifer & Kuba were good sports & went there early so we could be close to the stage. A lot of new material, which is great, because-- well, it means new material exists. Also some classics: I didn't expect to hear "A Better Son/Daughter" yesterday. The show didn't blow my mind but it did make me very happy. Oh so now let me back track a little. We went to Governor's Ball with Kuba, confusingly on Randall's Island. I knew it was on Randall's Island, & we were going to Randall's Island, but when I mentioned it Jenny was like "are you trolling me?" & inside my head I went ("well, I am starting now!") & teased her about it for a bit. Then a ferry & an island & music! Lots of food truck food; corndogs from Jalapeño Dog, nuggets from some nugget place-- fried food, on a tender stomach, as I'd been sick the day before-- really good corn, Momofuku Milk Bar cookies...basically just better quality fair food, but at least that justified the cost of the concessions a little. Music festivals are fun (Jenny & I had fun at Sweet Life, too), but I wanted to leave earlier than everyone else. I don't care about the headliners: see above re: big venues. We hung out on a hill a bit, picnicking; that was fun. So hold on, what did we see? Well, we missed HAERTS, which is a bummer, because I like what I've heard of them & want to see if it holds steady. We saw Janelle Monae, but mostly at a distance. La Roux, same thing; I guess La Roux is popular? Um, Kurt Vile, which I didn't "get." TV on the Radio was pretty good but we wandered away to see Grimes. Grimes, who I wish I "got," but don't. Then Outkast was last & despite the friendly Kiwi next to us, it was just one of those occasions that reminds you of the stupid casual selfishness of the human species. Opinions on large venues & their ilk: validated. We left, walked across a bridge back into Metropolis, & trudged home sharing a train car with a crazy guy.

Inexplicable but essential: Romney has to give his wavering ranks, especially his fundraisers, reason to hold on to Oct. 3.
Think about the incentives facing a wavering member of Congress.
With Pence out, Huckabee wavering and Palin problematic, conservatives are looking for a heartthrob.
late 13c., weyveren, "to show indecision," probably related to Old English wæfre "restless, wavering," from Proto-Germanic *wæbraz (cf. Middle High German wabern "to waver," Old Norse vafra "to hover about"), a frequentative form from the root of wave (v.). Related: Wavered; wavering.
