As of Saturday, May 25, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
A study of world history confirms the truth that all governments eventually become corrupt. Today, that truth continues to become more obvious in the U.S. government as incidences of corruption are exposed. Approaching Memorial Day, when we pay tribute to those who gave their all to preserve the freedoms the Founding Fathers gave us, we have a president who has vowed to transform or disregard those values. The toadies in mainstream media and the upper chamber of Congress that are loyal and obedient seem supportive of his efforts. In the absence of any obvious effort to preserve and protect our freedoms, we are left to conclude that the goal is to destroy them.
In support of this conclusion, consider that historically, the first step in overthrowing a government is to render the people defenseless by disarming them. The president's efforts to do this are well known. The debacle at Benghazi is utterly shameful. Despite efforts by media and the president to downplay the incident, this truth remains; there was a call for help that never came. Strange that the omniscient, all-knowing media has not explained the whereabouts of the commander in chief, or the secretary of state, during the evening hours of that fateful incident. Compare that to someone drowning and no order given to throw them a life jacket. Now, a congressional hearing has exposed incidences of a government agency, the IRS, that has conspired to intimidate citizens who are opposed to the promised "transformation." Add to that, a Justice Department who in direct conflict with the Fourth Amendment right of privacy, seeks personal phone records of AP journalists.
There are simply too many incidences of wrongdoing, i.e., taking liberties prohibited by our Constitution, in the current administration to be coincidental. Dereliction of duty by the president in fulfilling his oath of office to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, is sufficient grounds for articles of impeachment. However, if he should be impeached and convicted, the vice president would assume the office, which many seem to think would not be an improvement. Any hope of restoring and abiding by the principles set forth in our Constitution that gave us freedom, is in the hands of those Congresspersons who are devoted and dedicated to abiding by their oath of office.

The Katz Files
Rating the TNA Roster 3
The Kingfish Arnie Katz continues his monthly series that rates each TNA wrestlers' recent performances, analyzes strengths and weaknesses, and even charts future courses for major TNA stars.
Part 3
Check the first two columns in this series for the long-winded explanation if you haven't yet read it.
Jesse Neal
Mic: C
Ring: C+
Comment: His feud with Brother Ray has some puzzling aspects. For some reason, Bubba is acting like a heel, but Jesse Neal isn't doing a lot to encourage fans to root for him. Neal's alliance with Shannon Moore, whose character is confusing, to say the least, doesn't clarify his position.
Jimmy Hart
Mic: C+
Ring: N/A
Comment: He is still on the roster, though his presence on the show is next-to-non-existent.
Mic: B=
Ring: B=
Comment: His heel character is quite interesting, helped along by the mutual animosity between him and AJ Styles. One of them needs to turn face so they can carry their feud into the ring. Kazarian is a good babyface, but Styles really doesn't play the heel all that well. Most likely, Kazarian will be the rulebreaker and Styles will work as a tweener with a grudge against Kaz.
Kevin Nash
Mic: B
Ring: C-
Comment: His choices seem to come down to teaming with the unpredictable and sometimes unreliable Scott Hall or do a rerun of his Eric Young connection. In the long run, it may be better to bite the bullet and go with Nash and Young. TNA is no longer very sensitive to fan objection to multiple, rapid character flips, so TNA might as well get the benefit of having Young in the team.
Mic: N/A
Ring: B
Comment: He's still on the roster, but rarely gets TV time.
Kurt Angel
Mic: B+
Ring: B+
Comment: He has returned to the ring and will now pursue the goal of working his way up the rankings. It would be good if TNA didn't take that climb too literally. He has spoken of fighting each person above him in the rankings, but it would be more reasonable for him to leapfrog a few as he piles up the victories.
Lacey Von Erich
Mic: N/A
Ring: D
Comment: She is very pretty and sexy.
Madison Rayne
Mic: C
Ring: C+
Comment: She is not a very glamorous or dynamic champion. She ill soon drop the singles title and go back to her reasonable effective team with Velvet Sky.
Mic: N/A
Ring: B-
Comment: They've shortened his name – and shortened his TV time, too. He has a good look, but he is still fairly green. If TNA had a development group, a few months there would probably result in a big improvement for him.
Matt Morgan
Mic: B
Ring: B
Comment: The story is wacky, but kind of enjoyable. Morgan pretending to be a tam team is not the newest idea in wrestling gimmicks, but he has carried it off pretty well. He needs to move past it now into a singles feud, possibly with a returning Hernandez/
Mike Tenay
Mic: A-
Ring: N/A
Comment: The Professor does a solid job under trying circumstances.
Mr. Anderson
Mic: B+
Ring: B-
Comment: Is his babyface turn a long-term change or just the prelude to a betrayal? He desperately needed to do more than the microphone shtick – and he has certainly added a bizarre and intriguing element with his new friendship with Jeff Hardy.
Mic: N/A
Ring: N/A
Comment: The bodacious blonde is apparently in the doghouse, which is a pity. ODB is one of the Knockout division's best wrestlers and may be the top talker, too. She has a vibrancy and magnetism that elude most of the other Knockouts.
Orlando Jordan
Mic: C
Ring: C+
Comment: His character is still in flux and has not yet crystallized sufficiently for fans to get a handle on it. They seem to be making him into a freak, but they can't decide what kind.
Mic: N/A
Ring: N/A
Comment: H is still shown on the promotion's roster, but he may actually be gone. He was a great creative talent in his prime, but illness and injury have shortened his career.
Mic: N/A
Ring: N/A
Comment: The War Machine is on the roster, but he seldom has any impact on the show. He has more value than that, but has possibly gotten lost in the shuffle.
Ric Flair
Mic: B
Ring: N/A
Comment: He now has a Four Horsemen-like group, which is the best way to use him. Ric shouldn't wrestle, but he can still talk when he is sent out with something definite to say.
Rob Terry
Mic: C
Ring: C+
Comment: More plot support, including an attempt to elevate the prestige of the Global Championship, would be a big help. There's no reason why the GC can't become the equivalent of WWE's UC and US belts, but TNA must develop a competitive title scene and a more intense antagonist for Terry.
Rob Van Dam
Mic: B
Ring: A-
Comment: He's the champ and doing a pretty good job of it, too. RVD excites the crowd and delivers fine matches. What else do you want?
Samoa Joe
Mic: B
Ring: B
Comment: He is part of the show again, but it's hard to say what part. Samoa Joe is one of TNA's outstanding attractions, but you'd never know it from the way they've buried him for about the last six months.
Mic: N/A
Ring: B+
Comment: She has returned from her tour, but she is not yet having much of a role in t5he promotion. She's a very strong worker, so figure that will change.
I'll be back on Friday with another part of my TNA roster ratings. I hope you'll join me then and, please, bring your friends.

He always chooses the most interesting projects, and Robert Pattinson's latest flick "Queen of the Desert" just debuted a new preview trailer.
Also starring Nicole Kidman (who had to learn to ride a camel for the gig), James Franco and Damian Lewis, the highly-anticipated movie is slated to hit theaters later this year.
Taking care of her to-do list, Hilary Duff ran errands around the Los Angeles area on Thursday afternoon (July 2).
The "Lizzie McGuire" lady recently stated that she's closed her Tinder account- "I'm not still using it. It was really fun for me for a minute; I wanted to experience something totally normal and also shock people. No one thought I was really on it – and I was really on it!"
Earlier this week they announced they were divorcing, but that doesn't mean Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner aren't still committed parents.
On Thursday (July 2) the "Good Will Hunting Hunk" and the "Butter" babe grabbed their three kids, hopped a plane and jetted down to their private estate in the Bahamas for some Fourth of July weekend fun.
It's been a tough year for Tracy Morgan, as he suffered near-life-threatening injuries in a car crash last June. And on Thursday (July 2) the "30 Rock" star looked to be on an upswing as he celebrated his daughter Maven's second birthday.
Morgan took his fiancée Megan Wollover and their little girl to Orlando, Florida where they spent the day at Walt Disney World riding rides and having a marvelous time together.
Enjoying all the perks of her celebrity status, Suki Waterhouse made an appearance at The Serpentine Gallery's annual summer party in London on Thursday night (July 2).
The adorable English model brought her younger sister Immy Waterhouse as her date and garnered plenty of attention thanks to her mint green Valentino gown that barely covered her modesty.

Mission Hospital has expanded the properties it owns with two multimillion-dollar real estate deals - one involving a building owned by a Mission board member and the spouse of the board chairman.
The health system paid $10.9 million for land and two Hendersonville Road office buildings where it now leases office space, despite an out-of-town appraiser's estimate that the properties were worth $800,000 less.

Impaired Proof 1891 Double Eagle1891 PR 58 PCGS. While this is obviously not one of the finer known proofs of this scarce issue, it is still abundantly evident that the coin is a proof with its deeply reflective fields and intricately detailed devices.

Now the level has fallen due to what researchers label as "stabilisation."Demographics Professor Jan Latten at the Statistics Netherlands (CBS) said: "There was an element of hype in 2001.

Committee gets testimony on tar sands pipelineFebruary 19,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — A committee of the Vermont House is hearing about the possible shipment of tar sands oil on a pipeline that crosses northern Vermont.
The CEO of the Portland Pipeline Company, which owns the line, is due to appear Tuesday before the House Committee on Fish, Wildlife and Water Resources.
Larry Wilson said in recent legislative testimony that he would welcome an opportunity to reverse the flow of the Montreal-to-Portland pipeline, but he currently knows of no plans to do so.
Environmental groups have been warning of the likelihood that tar sands would be shipped through Vermont.
The committee is weighing whether Vermont's Act 250 land-use law should apply to the shipment of heavy oil through the state.MORE IN This Just InSafety warning for Full StoryBETHEL Police have made an arrest nearly a week after a hit-and-run accident in which the...

If you're planning a Halloween party, don't get lazy with the treats and snacks. Just setting out big bowls of candy is not going to cut it.
Instead, how about Mummy Cookie Pops? Or Frankenstein Marshmallows? Or even Mis-Fortune Cookies?
Sure, Halloween is all about the kiddos. Opening the front door to the neighborhood wee ones (yours or someone else's) dressed in their trick-or-treating finery is a sugar rush unto itself.

Most I've seen have the Steelers taking Lawrence Timmons, or Leon Hall. I'd prefer Timmons, he seems like he can be a guy who can play either the 3-4 or the 4-3, and with the loss of Joey Porter they're going to need to get some one in there to help fill that gap.

wiki option means that the publisher of a feature
(editorial collective) or a newswire post (individual)
is able to "give the option" to others to edit the
post, as in wiki, instead of simply commenting it.
This means having and "edit" option available on the
feature/post - made available by the original poster -
so other users can contribute contents directely from
the web, instead of participating to traditional
editorial mailing lists.
Release 3.3 will have a feature that will allow selected stories to be edited by the public with an optional password. The idea is to use it for working documents and that these stories would be locked to comments. Depending on how this is used it may develop more towards wiki functionality

Former NFL head of officiating Mike Pereira has now made his thoughts known on the overtime call made by the officials during the late game fake punt between the San Diego Chargers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
On the play, the officials declared that the forward progress of safety Eric Weddle had been stopped prior to the football being ripped from his arms by a Chiefs defensive player. The spot of the ball gave the Chargers a first down and the drive culminated in a field goal, which eventually won the game.
"In KC/SD game, Linesman ruled that progress was stopped at the 30 before the helmet came off or the ball came loose. I don't agree," wrote Pereira on Twitter.
Pereira did not stop there, however.
"Replay did not stop the game because the ruling of forward progress is not reviewable. Should have been a strip and TD in my opinion. The reason I say progress was not stopped is the surge of the pile is going forward. Teammate is pushing runner forward."
Pereira promises to cover this play Monday on Fox Sports Daily.
In addition to the above, Weddle lost his helmet on the play, but that wasn't addressed by referee Bill Leavy.
Forward progress isn't reviewable; a helmet coming off is and it will be interesting to see how this plays out. It won't help the Pittsburgh Steelers, however.
It Should help the Steelers though. Fucking Leavy cost us.
No, we cost us by loosing to miami, oakland, titans, etc..
The missed field goal was also botched by refs. New rule states that defending team can only have a max of six defenders to one side of the snapper. SD clearly had eight players on one side of snapper, which should have resulted in a 5 yard penalty and rekick. Just saying.
Wow! This is the first I've seen of this play. Definitely a missed call.
Steelers in the play offs did not fit NFL's storyboard for this season.
I live 30 miles from where the game was played… watched it unfold.. laughed at how the Chargers had blown it… and am baffled at how that type of call can be made and even more baffled at how that type of call goes without a review… Bush League is what it is.
Steelers got screwed by refs
They had to take six teams. So if you and the 16 people who gave u a thumbs up actually think SD deserved it more than pittsburgh after that display of ineptitude and game fixing then you must not have seen the chargers much. And definitely not yesterday.
man you watch that and you see 57 standing up you see 32 behind him standing up with his arms around 57 waist then 57 strips ball and 32 takes it from his arms for a td the ref at top of the plays walking in to line like ok its just another push the line across for the first then he sees cheifs strip ball and runs with the 32 …now how cant there be a review on a change of procession ..only whistle blown was the one the nfl uses to change games that goodels crews use …i never liked leavy or his crew because if your going to get the short end of the stick in a game it come from him and his …they expect teams and players to know rules and stick a stick in the eye of them if any one who disagrees with them ….but year after year the nfl and refs dont even know there own back room make up a rule as we go along secrets
I heard that same grand collusion theory from Seattle fans after the Super Bowl.
If forward progress didn't happen, then neither did the first down. You can't give him forward progress without allowing the play to continue.
Agree Brendon…..although the Steelers basically let the season get away from them in September they still deserved the chance to make the playoffs due to the inept play of the other AFC teams…this call was blown by the officials in more than one facet, helmet appears off BEFORE the line to gain AND forward progress was not stopped prior to the ball coming out (not to mention the possible infraction on the missed FG). Though I just think it was just another case of bad officiating in the NFL, It sure appears that there was an effort by the league to keep the Steelers out of the playoffs. They tried to do it in GB last week but the Packers screwed that up. Not sure what they would have done once there but you gotta get in to win so we will never know. Bottom line is I think all the talk of the Steelers losing draft picks for Tomlin's "blunder" is over, the league should be giving some compensatory picks to them to make up for yet another "blunder' of their own.
Difference being is that a former head of NFL referees is stating that the refs blew two separate calls against the Chiefs – either of which would have won the game.
I'll say it again as a die-hard Steeler, the reason we did not make it was those horrible losses we had to some of the worst teams. San Diego doesn't deserve to be in he playoffs since they couldn't beat 19 second string guys on KC. That's poor. But we don't deserve to be in at 8-8 period.
Glad we did not have a losing season again, glad Baltimore is out of it, now lets work on fixing that defense and special teams.
There's no doubt that calls were blown in both games. I choose to believe that calls are simply blown and it's not more than that. If I get the the point that I think the league is deciding who should win and lose, I'll pay as much attention to football as I do to professional wrestling.
I've got land that could be had on your own private island for only $1000.
Jon Crissinger, if you believe the NFL powers that be dictate who wins the games, that's fine. Maybe they do. I just don't think you can have it both ways. You can't say it was just bad officiating when it benefits the Steelers and turn around and say it's a conspiracy when it goes against them. Is the "Bettis Bowl" in question in your mind?
Not that they dictate who wins, but they do try and help certain teams. Money talks. And yes I do believe they tried to help Pittsburgh win in the "Bettis Bowl". Pitt was a 6th seed and the bettor payout was huge for Pitt winning.
Can't wait for the refs to award Le' Veon Bell with that TD in the Ravens Steelers game then if forward progress doesn't stop the moment the helmet comes off…
The San Diego/Kansas City result was a farce. But it will pan out as a positive for the Steelers in the coming years. Why? The team got better as the season progressed, but was not a Super Bowl contender IMO. You can't lose to Minn., Tenn., Oakland and Miami — at home in the snow — and be considered a top team. For Steeler Nation merely making the playoffs is not good enough. Better to get the 15th draft pick and get ready for next year. There is much to look forward to.
BTW, I hope all you all Steeler fans understand that the ref Levy, is the same dude who gave you the SB. I guess now you folks might understand how the Seahawk fans felt. The real reason your team missed the playoffs is 0 – 4 to start.
To those Steeler fans who simply cannot stop crying like someone just stole their favorite yellow snot rag…get over it already! You're an 8-8 team. 8-8 is 500 and 500 is MEDIOCRE. Where was your righteous indignation when this EXACT SAME officiating crew GIFTED you a superbowl you probably should've lost vs. the Seahawks…you were gifted a ring, and denied a playoff birth…you still come out ahead…as the Steelers usually do…Pittsburgh fans crying about unfair treatment is like the spoiled brat from Willy Wonka crying because she's never been told no before…and my response is the same…"the writers need to hurry up and kill her off, because no one wants to hear her of all people, bitch about how unfair things are." Piss and moan all you like, not the officials fault you started 0-4. I for one would much rather watch Rivers and the re-vamped SD offense over another Steeler team limping along, with a banged up Big Ben, and zero offensive firepower, failing to realize that it was time to rebuild that team two years ago. You pummeled Cleveland and you think that somehow means you're the better of the two teams? SD beat Denver in Denver, KC (the starters) in KC…The Colts, the Eagles in Philly…those are 4 victories against playoff teams right there, 3 of which were on the road…however they got there they finished 9-7= they deserve it MORE than you do. Thanks for playing, better luck next season.
Sure, SD is a powerhouse. They couldn't beat KC's second string without the refs help. That's real impressive.
and you couldn't beat the Seahawks without those SAME refs helping you out…does that mean you don't get credit for that last superbowl ring? NO. A win is a win is a win…however you get it…its a results oriented league…did the bolts get lucky yesterday? of course! Does it matter? of course not! The result is what matters…and the result is…. unfortunately for you pouting, temper tantrum throwing steeler fan…a ticket home to freezing ass Pittsburgh for the post season tourney…better luck next season.

Geographic Range
Rhinophylla pumilio occurs in the Amazon Basin and the Guianas (Emmons, 1990). It can be found in Bolivia, Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, Columbia, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Peru (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006). (Emmons, 1990; Rinehart and Kunz, 2006)
- Biogeographic Regions
- neotropical
In Venezuela, R. pumilio is associated with moist areas and structured, tropical evergreen forests (Eisenberg and Redford, 1999). In French Guiana and southeastern Brazil, R. pumilio is found in primary and mature secondary lowland forest. In Amazonian Brazil R. pumilio is found in a wide variety of habitats including primary forest, forest fragments, and savannas. (Eisenberg and Redford, 1999; Rinehart and Kunz, 2006)

Physical Description
Rhinophylla pumilio is commonly known as dwarf little fruit bats or Peter's little fruit bats. Females are slightly larger than males with an average weight of 10.4 g in females and 9.4 g in males. Fur color is unicolored gray or brown to the base with slightly darker hair tips (Emmons, 1990). Head to body length averages 50 mm in females and 48.3 mm in males (Eisenberg and Redford, 1999). Wing color is dark to blackish, contrasting with the lighter metacarpals and phalanges (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006). Average forearm length in females is 35 mm and 34.7 mm in males. Average hind foot length for females is 10.77 mm and 10.33 mm in males. The ears are rounded, shorter than the head, and are a pinkish brown color (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006). Average ear length for females is 15.81 mm and 16.33 mm in males (Eisenberg and Redford, 1999). The tragus extends one-third of the length of the ear and is small and broad. (Eisenberg and Redford, 1999; Emmons, 1990; Rinehart and Kunz, 2006)
Dwarf little fruit bats have no external tail. The calcar is 5 mm in length and is distinct. The noseleaf is well developed, with a length twice its width. The tragus can reach well beyond the eye to the center of the forehead when flattened. (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006)
The dental formula is i 2/2, c 1/1, p 2/2, m 3/3, totaling 32 teeth. The medial upper incisors are notched and are larger than the outer incisors. The lower incisors contrast in size, the medial being larger and having a trilobed cutting edge . The two lower premolars are similar in form to the 3 lower molars. (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006)
Rhinophylla pumilio can be distinguished from Carollia species by the absence of a tail and reduced uropatagium. Rhinophylla pumilio can also be distinguished from other Rhinophylla species by incisor shape. The upper medial incisor is notched on cutting edge of R. pumilio and R. fischerae, whereas the cutting edge is uninterrupted in R. alethina. Rhinophylla pumilio also has a distinct lateral cingular style which is absent in R. fischerae and R. alethina. Rhinophylla pumilio is distinguished from other Rhinophylla species by the absence of conspicuous, stiff hairs along the distal edge of the uropatagium and a shorter calcar. (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006)
- Other Physical Features
- endothermic
- homoiothermic
- bilateral symmetry
- Sexual Dimorphism
- sexes alike
- Range mass
- 7 to 13 g
- 0.25 to 0.46 oz
- Range length
- 43 to 58 mm
- 1.69 to 2.28 in
- Average basal metabolic rate
- 1.96ml cm3.O2/g/hr
The mating system of R. pumilio has not been studied in detail. Dwarf little fruit bats have been found roosting in groups of one male to two to three females, suggesting polygyny. (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006)
- Mating System
- polygynous
There is little available information on the reproductive behavior of R. pumilio. Pregnant and lactating females have been captured in March, May, June, July, August, September November, and December (Rinehart and Kunz 2006). As in other bat species, females give birth to one young per year. (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006)
- Key Reproductive Features
- iteroparous
- seasonal breeding
- gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate)
- sexual
- viviparous
- Breeding interval
- Dwarf little fruit bats breed once yearly.
- Average number of offspring
- 1
There is little available information on the parental involvement of Rhinophylla pumilio. However, as in all bat species, females invest a significant proportion of their energy into gestation and lactation of their single offspring each year.

Life expectancy of Rhinophylla pumilio is not known.
Dwarf little fruit bats are sedentary, tent-making bats. They create tent-like structures for roosting from large leaves by biting the supporting structures of the leaf until they fold. They have been known to also roost in abandoned leaf tents made by other tent-making bats. Dwarf little fruit bats use tents as night feeding roosts and as daytime roosts. They change roosts every few days. Roosts often consist of one male and about three females. Tents are constructed approximately 1.5 m to 15 m above the ground. These bats have also been known to roost in culverts and thatched roofs. Dwarf little fruit bats are active immediately after dust and before dawn with a period of inactivity in the depths of the night (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006). (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006)
- Key Behaviors
- arboreal
- flies
- crepuscular
- motile
- sedentary
- social
- Range territory size
- 1,600 m to 4,750 m km^2
Home Range
Rhinophylla pumilio can cover a distance of about 1,600 m to 4,750 m foraging and traveling at night, an area of about 6 ha to 15 ha (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006). (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006)
Communication and Perception
There is little information available on interspecific communication in R. pumilio. Dwarf little fruit bats are microchiropteran bats that use echolocation calls to navigate and find food (Fenton, 1992). Olfaction is probably also an important mode of perception and communication, as many species of fruit bats use olfaction to locate food and communication among mammals is often primarily through olfaction. (Fenton, 1992)
- Perception Channels
- visual
- tactile
- acoustic
- echolocation
- chemical
Food Habits
Dwarf little fruit bats have a variable diet that consist of small seeded understory and mid-canopy fruits. They occasionally eat the pollen of flowers, such as the flowers of Vismia duckei, Philodendron billietae, and Cecropis disphylla (Rhinehart and Kunz, 2006). (Rinehart and Kunz, 2006)
- Plant Foods
- seeds, grains, and nuts
- fruit
- pollen
Rhinophylla pumilio is subject to predation by squirrel monkeys. Squirrel monkeys have learned how to prey on tent making bats regardless of roost protection. Dwarf little fruit bats roost in small groups under tents made of leaves and stems. They use the vibration of the leaves to alert them of predator presence. Squirrel monkeys will scout the leaves from below, grabbing bats and knocking some to the ground. (Fenton, 1992)
- Known Predators
- squirrel monkeys (Saimiri)
Ecosystem Roles
Dwarf little fruit bats are mostly frugivorous and are important seed and pollen dispersers (Fenton, 1992). (Fenton, 1992)
- Ecosystem Impact
- disperses seeds
- pollinates
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
There is little information available on how Rhinophylla pumilio benefits humans.
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There is no evidence that Rhinophylla pumilio negatively effects humans.
Conservation Status
Rhinophylla pumilio is common throughout its geographical range. It is classified as lower risk/least concern by the IUCN red list of threatened species.

I've found other answers suggesting that, although valid html, this is not semantically valid. But is it really not OK to nest em/strong tags in all instances? The above example seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable use - to specifically emphasise a subsection of something that's already emphasised. But can screen readers interpret this as it's meant to be interpreted, or woudl it tend to confuse them?

Animal Diversity Web
Great for students, great for general information, the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology's Animal Diversity Web is written largely by and for college students but has the materials elementary, middle, and high school students might need for reports and that the general public might need to understand the particular animal.
The information section covers the geographic range, the habitat, a physical description, reproduction, lifespan/longevity, behavior, communication and perception, food habits, predation, ecosystem roles, positive and negative economic importance for humans, and conservation status. There is a box listing the kingdom, phylum, subphylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
There are tabs for pictures (14 for the sandhill crane) and specimens (skeletal structure, teeth, etc.).
Some highlights from the coverage of the sandhill crane: "Five courtship displays have been identified as part of "dancing," the primary mechanism of pair formation in this species. These displays are the Upright wing stretch, Horizontal head pump, Bow, Vertical Leap and Vertical toss." The chicks "are able to leave the nest within 24 hours of hatching."
With the first snow now falling you might think the sandhill cranes have left for southern climes but the Monday count at the Phyllis Haehnle Memorial Audubon Sanctuary was 1902 cranes, the highest count this fall.

"I don't know what to say" Why????
Why would MS buying Vivendi make you think that TF2/Half-life2/Diablo 3, etc. would change?
Hell I'd say they're more likely... though some would be most likely on Xbox (or at least released there first).
Hell I was excited to see this... especially since it's Vivendi who owns the rights to Middle Earth Online (and there have been rumors that they've enlisted the best MMO development team around to do it... Turbine - MS's good buddies).
I figure this announcement makes a Turbine/MS MEO even more likely (basically... a game as epic as SWG but not crap).
Ya, I think he is worried about them only coming out on Xbox and if they do come to PC it will be very late and we will forget about them. Like we haven't already. :rolleyes: If they do only come out on Xbox I won't mind if they have a K/M for us to use.
And don't forget, PC users are STILL waiting for Halo. Plus, if all games are made for consoles, the smarter ones will be dumbed down. Look at Deus Ex 2.

Bel Canto (Paperback)
Somewhere in South America, at the home of the country's vice president, a lavish birthday party is being held in honor of the powerful businessman Mr. Hosokawa. Roxanne Coss, opera's most revered soprano, has mesmerized the international guests with her singing. It is a perfect evening -- until a band of gunwielding terrorists takes the entire party hostage. But what begins as a panicked, life-threatening scenario slowly evolves into something quite different, a moment of great beauty, as terrorists and hostages forge unexpected bonds and people from different continents become compatriots, intimate friends, and lovers.

A recent blog post by Dave Fish at Maritz Research addresses the topic of why we shouldn't be satisfied with satisfaction questions. Here are some key excerpts: […]Read More
