A tortoise laboriously pulls itself up to a thorny shrub in the arid desert, slowly plucking at the plant's stems in an attempt to suck out any moisture.
The barren terrain dotted with shriveled shrubs offers thin pickings for the Egyptian tortoise, which faces extinction in the wild. People collect and trade them as pets. Overgrazing and expansion of agriculture and tourism threaten their existence, and their natural habitat in the coastal deserts of Egypt, eastern Libya and Israel's western Negev is being destroyed.
No Tortoises in 1994
"Their numbers have declined severely in the last 30 years," said Sherif Baha el-Din, scientific adviser at the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency. He said a thorough survey in Egypt in 1994 had failed to locate any wild tortoises at all.
"They are very ancient animals and haven't changed much over the years, which makes them more susceptible to problems."
The Egyptian tortoise, scientifically known as Testudo Kleinmanni, is one of the world's smallest and most endangered. The largest measure just five inches long.
It is found in sandy and fairly rocky habitats and its light brown color blends in with the soil. It mates in early spring when the weather is warm. The female lays up to five eggs, one to three at a time, which she buries in a shallow hole in the sand. The eggs hatch in summer or early autumn.
Legal Safeguards Not Enough
In 1996, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature placed the Egyptian tortoise on a list of threatened animals. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) bans international trade in the species except for scientific purposes.
Egyptian law bans their sale, purchase or transport without permits but implementation is difficult. In January 1997, police cracked down on illegal traders selling hundreds of tortoises collected from Libya in the Tunsi pet market in central Cairo.
Baha el-Din, who works in the Environmental Affairs Agency's nature conservation sector, was approached by authorities with sacks of tortoises, many of which were sick after being transported with no water or food for weeks. Asked if he could use them as the basis of a conservation program, he accepted.
"I was given 300 dead and dying tortoises," he said. "They were in a very bad condition and we called the Tortoise Trust people to come in and help." The British-based Tortoise Trust is the world's largest tortoise and turtle organization.
"We decided to place the animals in a temporary holding facility on my father's rooftop and then set about taking care of them medically," Baha el-Din said.
Tortoise Care Egypt, a group of international and local organizations and individuals that came together to help conserve the Egyptian tortoise, was then formed by Baha el-Din and his wife Mindy to help take care of the animals.
The Dutch government agreed to give the project a grant. But once the tortoises were treated, with the help of the Zoological Society of London, there was still the dilemma of where to find a suitable site to release them into the wild.
Breeding and Rehabilitation Programs
Zaranik Protectorate in north Sinai was chosen as the ideal location to set up the enclosure and pilot rehabilitation program as it was part of the tortoise's natural habitat.

Well, i prefer to not compare to vanilla WOW or any of those older mmorpgs, since i never played them.
But, if i get the OP right, he's speaking of GW2 as a virtual world that you can call "home". IMO, nope. GW2 still feels too "gamey" and not "virtual world" enough. As much as i wish i could, i can't call Tyria "home", specially with the way pvp is structured. But that's just me of course. And i'll probably still buy the game to have fun.

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 13, 2014
Wealth Management Systems Inc. (WMSI) announced today that it has successfully launched four new retirement planning tools to help users make better decisions today that can have a big impact on their future retirement readiness. This suite of tools includes: the Retirement Planner Tool, the Retirement Plan Contribution Tool, the Social Security Illustrator Tool and the Distribution Planner Tool. The suite takes a holistic approach to retirement planning allowing users to build a plan to achieve their personal retirement income goals. It is estimated that 54% of the people saving for retirement today don't know how much savings they will need to support their desired retirement lifestyle. These tools are designed to address this gap and empower users to define their own retirement income needs interactively.
All tools are highly visual and incorporate modeling features so users can change their inputs and immediately see the impact on their longer-term retirement income projections. These features are a highly effective way to educate and translate key retirement saving and investing concepts into reality for users who learn better by doing.
"The ability to change assumptions on the fly and immediately see their impact graphically has been received very favorably – especially by advisors," commented John Geli, CEO of Wealth Management Systems Inc. "A client told us that one of their retirement consultants had used the Retirement Planner Tool to get a participant enrolled at a 6% contribution rate to fully maximize the company match. But when the participant saw the visual impact a 10% contribution rate had on her future retirement savings balance she was convinced to go to 10% - no further discussion was required."
Designed to work in unison, these tools help users zero in on different facets of their retirement savings strategy:
Each tool also has a save and retrieve feature that makes it easy to quickly and easily generate customized output reports using personalized data to share with spouses and family members, and to support advisors in preparing for client meetings.
About Wealth Management Systems Inc. (WMSI)
Wealth Management Systems Inc. is the leading provider of technology based rollover services within the financial services industry and provides comprehensive, web-based college and retirement planning tools, advisor solutions and financial communications and education for financial services firms.

This paper develops a new approach to the adaptive line enhancement (ALE) of the emergency locator transmitter (ELT) signal where the input signal to the ALE is replaced by its autocorrelation function. This approach is related to signal processing using higher order statistics (HOS). The paper also compares the results of using the new approach with other different used methods. The first method uses the signal xk as an input to the ALE, and the second method uses xk2 as the input to the ALE. The results illustrate the superiority of the proposed method over the other two methods

At around 4 this morning I lost my little "Nemo" The ER doctor went to do an ultra sound and went to clean me out and wow. He has to use so many swabs and other things due to the bleeding. As he was doing it I was watching. All I could see was red clot after red clot, and then I yellow clot. It was the yolk sac. I started to cry just a little, but I was ok. I was raised to believe that a life must end for a new one to begin. As I was sitting in my ER room a nurse came in to try to get an IV started. He tried once and then had to leave to take a patient up to L&D. The way I look at it is maybe I had to lose my baby so she could have hers. Maybe she had been trying for years for this baby and it was finally time. I lost my Step-Dad back in December of 08 so I know that my baby is in very good hands. He tried so hard to fight his cancer so he could be there to watch DS be born. It didn't happen. So at least now he has one to hold.
The doctors said my body has pretty much done its job at getting rid of what it needs to. There is a spot on my right ovary that they are worried about that. I have to go every 48 hrs for 4 times to make sure my hormone levels are going down. If they areĀnot it means that there may be a baby in there. Which would mean I was going to be having twins. I am just praying my levels go down.
I am going to miss this group so much. I will stop in from time to time and read post and see how everyone is doing. I can't wait to see all of your little babies come February.

Rolandan Finch ran for 243 yards and two touchdowns, and Boston College defeated Maryland 28-17 Saturday for its first Atlantic Coast Conference victory of the season. The game featured the two teams with the worst overall records in the ACC, and it showed. The Eagles (2-6, 1-4) committed four turnovers and the Terrapins (2-6, 1-4) gave the ball away twice and missed two short field goals. The lackluster matchup, along with freezing temperatures and a surprise snowfall, caused thousands of fans to stay at home. Attendance was announced at 29,945, but there were fewer than 10,000 people in the seats when the second half started with Maryland trailing 21-3. Finch, a sophomore, never before broke the 100-yard mark and had run for 266 yards in six games before Saturday. He had 152 yards rushing at halftime, finished with a career-high 39 carries and had a team-leading two catches for seven yards. Finch is filling in for standout senior Montel Harris, who's out for the year with a kn...

Privatisation made steel sector stagnant
The privatisation of public enterprises by the Federal Government has brought seven years of stagnation to the steel sector, the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Mr Musa Sada, has said.
Sada, who said this in a keynote address delivered at the Second National Steel Summit in Abuja, added that any nation that was serious about growth must develop its steel sector because it provides the base for industrial takeoff.
He said: "The objectives of privatisation were to encourage the private sector to own and run the enterprises, while the government would only play the role of a regulator. But the privatised enterprises have not shown any sign of visible growth since the last five to seven years due to various factors such as inadequate infrastructural facilities such as power supply, scarcity of raw materials and indiscriminate importation of metal products.
"The privatisation in the steel sector began in 2000. By the middle of 2005, the three inland rolling mills, Delta Steel Company and Aluminium Smelter Company of Nigeria were successfully privatised, while the Ajaokuta Steel plant and the National Iron Ore Mining Company were given out on concession to core investors."
"The Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), which carried out the privatisation of these enterprises, for several reasons, has not been able to achieve the objectives of the privatisation programme in this sector," the minister added.

Drum's Not Dead is the third album by experimental rock band Liars, released in 2006 through Mute Records. It was recorded in at Planet Roc studios in Berlin and produced by Angus Andrew. The sound is characterized by pounding drums, highly distorted guitar drones, and falsetto vocals. Upon initial release, the album featured a DVD with three different music videos for each song.
The album's title and several track names refer to two fictional characters: Drum and Mount Heart Attack. For the band they are like Yin and Yang, each a state of being. Drum is assertive and productive, the spirit of creative confidence. With two drum kits integral to many of these percussive, propulsive, highly rhythmic convulsions, Drum came to be acknowledged as a fourth member of the band. Conversely, Mount Heart Attack is the reaction to Drum's action, the embodiment of stress and self-doubt. Both became key elements in the creative process.[4]
Pitchfork Media ranked the album number 6 on their list of the Top 50 albums of 2006.[5]

Mapping the Big Apple contest - get your work in a Manhattan Art Gallery
The Cartographers Guild, in partnership with the Soho Gallery for Digital Art, presents Mapping the Big Apple. The challenge is to create a map inspired by New York. From early drafts of the streets of New Amsterdam, to the grid layout of Manhattan when Central Park was first proposed to the iconic New Yorker cover from March 29th, 1976 New York has always inspired cartographers and artists with its streets and avenues. And not just cartographers. Manhattan has been destroyed in more ways that any other city. From the monster of Cloverfield to the ice age of The Day After Tomorrow New York has taken it all. Now its your task to take this iconic skyline and represent it in your own way.
In this challenge you must create a map inspired by New York. It must be letter sized (11″ by 8.5″) or larger and a minimum of 150dpi. Beyond that, your imagination can be your guide. It can be anything from an ant colony in central park to an airship shipping lane map with a terminus on top of the Empire State. As long as New York is involved in some way, your map will be eligible.
The contest will run until the 31st of October, after which there will be a round of public voting. Each artist can submit up to three entries. The top 45 maps will be included in an exhibition at the Soho Gallery for Digital Art that will run in Manhattan from the 16th of November until the 12th of December. As part of the exhibition, the gallery will sell prints of the maps to the public, with 70% of the price after print costs going to the artists. The top three entries will get pride of place at the center of the gallery.
To find out more, and to enter, go to the Challenge on the Cartographers Guild.
Good luck and happy mapping!

My dream of many years has been to visit New York! I wish I could study there.
I would like to participate in this challenge, however I've got a question. The challenge is to map the Big Apple (=new york city) but later on it says "As long as New York is involved in some way, your map will be eligible." Does this go for the state of New York as well? This might be a stupid question but my english isn't that great, so I'm just making sure.

LOS ANGELES --- Abe Markowitz remembers it all too well. It was his redshirt freshman season in 2009. After playing sparingly in the season opener against San Jose State, as a walk-on, he was left behind when the team traveled to Ohio State. Then-freshman quarterback Matt Barkley led the team on a 95-yard game winning drive and the Trojans left the Horseshoe with an 18-15 win. Markowitz didnt get to experience the great comeback in person but, ever the optimist, he was just glad to see it. I got to go hang out with my friends and watch it in the Galen Center 3D, Markowitz said. That was almost just as cool. It was in 3D in the Galen Center! Before the 2012 season, Markowitz has done a lot of watching. He didnt play at all in 2010 after being sidelined with foot injuries. Two foot surgeries kept him from seeing the field in 2011. Stepping on the field against Cal last Saturday to make the first start of his career was a humbling feat for the fifth year senior. I was really gr...

Heart and Arterial Disease
The book, Heart and Arterial Disease is an intelligent guide that explains why more than 100 million Canadians and Americans have high blood pressure, coronary artery disease and are at risk of having heart attacks and strokes. They should seek the benefits of complete diet revision. We recognize considerable overlap of common diseases that originate in the food supply. A person with arterial disease often is overweight and has diabetes, for example.
Here is Dr. Gislason's Preface:
This book is written to inform people who are at risk of vascular disease or who already have diagnosed disease. The issues are complex and patient study is required to form an educated opinion about what strategies are desirable to prevent and to manage these common diseases. Concern about arterial disease has high priority in the public perception of disease. Drugs used to manage arterial diseases are among the most profitable chemicals ever invented. The extraordinary growth in variety and profitability of drugs to treat high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and manage heart attacks and strokes is unmatched in medicine. Big money is invested in marketing and vested interests compete to control the public perception of these diseases.
Cardiologists know that atherosclerosis is a disease caused by eating too much of the wrong foods and exercising too little, but they are primarily interested in prescribing drugs. They earn money and gain prestige from knowing about these drugs. They tend to ignore the advantages of changing disease-causing conditions and focus on treating the consequences. In all fairness to physicians, most of their patients will not cooperate with attempts to modify their behavior and do not alter their disease causing life-style.
Most human problems can be solved by changing human behavior. This book is written for the intelligent, well-motivated reader who is capable of change. Too many humans are unwilling or unable to change and will remain victims of their own habits. This is not to argue that constructive changes in diet and lifestyle are easy to achieve. It is to argue that if you understand the issues and pursue a healthy revision of your food choices, exercise more, and lose weight you can enjoy a healthier, longer life. The Alpha Nutrition Program is comprehensive diet revision.
The topics discussed are
Proper Nutrition
Go to Center for Arterial Disease
This book is intended to be used with the Alpha Nutrition Program The program is modular and versatile and can be adapted to a variety of disease conditions where diet and nutrition play a role. The good news is that even if you have a long problem list that appears to involve multiple diseases, all health problems tend to improve when you follow the Alpha Nutrition Program.

Campaign 2010: Fact-checking the campaign ads
"Rusty," 30-second TV ad running statewide by the Zach Wamp for Governor campaign.
Theme: Seated over breakfast in a diner, folksy "Rusty, lifelong Tennessean," talks about Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam: "You know, I've been thinking about our governor's race here in Tennessee. This Bill Haslam ain't our guy." Wamp is referenced only in the "paid for by" subtext near the end.
Claims: Haslam is "a billionaire oil man who price-gouged working Tennesseans when we were hurtin' the most, then blamed his employees. Haslam raised taxes in Knoxville 15 percent; blamed his predecessor. He even teamed up with New York Mayor Bloomberg to take away our guns. And that's just wrong. Bill Haslam is trying to buy this election but we just can't afford a big oil man as our governor."
Context: Wamp and Haslam are running for the GOP nomination for governor. Polls indicate Haslam in the lead and Wamp trailing. The ad is Wamp's first "attack" ad. "Rusty" is W.R. "Rusty" Criminger, a Chattanooga marketing and advertising consultant.
"Billionaire" -- Haslam has not released a personal financial disclosure of his net worth but says he is not a "billionaire." Family-owned Pilot Corp., established by his father and owned by the candidate, his father, brother and sister, recently acquired rival Flying J. Forbes last year ranked the two companies the nation's 13th- and 14th-largest privately held companies, with revenues totaling $35 billion.
"Price gouging" -- On April 16, 2009, the state attorney general accused four Pilot fuel stations in Knox County of violating the price-gouging section of the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act after Hurricane Ike in September 2008. The civil case accused the four Pilot stations of selling at $4.99 a gallon regular unleaded fuel that cost the company between $3.49 and $3.80 a gallon. Pilot entered a court-approved settlement in which it denied any wrongdoing but agreed to refund the overcharges to gas purchasers who filed claims and to pay the state $13,000 in fees and penalties.
"Raised taxes" -- In 2004, Haslam proposed, and the Knoxville city council approved, raising the city property tax rate from $2.70 per $100 of assessed value to $3.05, a 13 percent increase. The Knoxville News Sentinel reported the increase was partly due to an "inherited $10 million budget shortfall."
"Take away our guns" -- Haslam was a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, founded by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg in 2006. The group issued a 40-point "Blueprint for Federal Action on Illegal Guns" and has worked to require criminal background checks for gun buyers at gun shows that are required at gun stores. The group has not advocated seizing legally owned firearms. Haslam resigned from the group last year, saying that its agenda had changed.
"Buy this election" -- Through June 30, Haslam put $400,000 of his own money into his campaign, which had raised $8.7 million from others and spent $7.1 million. Through the same period, Wamp put $61,000 in personal funds into his campaign, raised $3.9 million from others and spent $2.7 million.
The reality: Haslam raised property taxes 13% and his family-owned company settled price-gouging charges filed by the state, agreeing to pay restitution. The charge that he wanted "to take away our guns" appears false. The Haslam camp says that calling him a "billionare" is "grossly overstating his wealth."

Integrating "Audio for Games" Into the Modern Audio Production Curriculum
The Electronic Game industry is becoming a bigger part of the audio production world every day. Proposals for stand-alone degree programs for colleges, schools and universities have appeared recently but this paper proposes that electronic game audio be an integral part of a general curriculum in audio production, along with established components such as sound for film and studio recording.

Contact the Iowa State University Extension Hortline at (515) 294-3108 (Monday-Friday; 10 a.m.-12 noon and 1-4:30 p.m.) or send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

How deep should I plant my gladiolus bulbs?
Planting depth varies with the size of the bulb (corm). Large corms should be planted 4 to 6 inches deep and 6 inches apart. Small corms should be planted at a depth of 3 inches. Gladioli require well-drained soils and perform best in a sunny location. Glads normally bloom about 8 to 10 weeks after planting.
Which shrubs will grow in shade?
Most deciduous shrubs perform best when grown in areas that receive partial to full sun. However, there are shrubs that can be successfully grown in partial shade. (Sites in partial shade receive two to four hours of direct sun.)
Deciduous shrubs that can be successfully grown in partial shade include; pagoda dogwood (Cornus alternifolia), gray dogwood (Cornus racemosa), bush honeysuckle (Diervilla lonicera), fothergilla (Fothergilla spp.), common witchhazel (Hamamelis virginiana), smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens), Virginia sweetspire (Itea virginica), Japanese kerria (Kerria japonica), alpine currant (Ribes alpinum), arrowwood viburnum (Viburnum dentatum) and American cranberrybush viburnum (Viburnum trilobum).
Yew (Taxus spp.), arborvitae (Thuja spp.) and Russian cypress (Microbiota decussata) are evergreen shrubs that can be grown in partial shade.
What materials would be a good mulch for a vegetable garden?
Lawn clippings, straw and leaves are excellent mulches for the vegetable garden. Allow lawn clippings to dry before applying them to gardens. A thick layer of fresh lawn clippings may get hot and produce an unpleasant odor. If the lawn has been treated with a broadleaf herbicide, don't use the clippings until the lawn has been mowed two or three times after the application.
Straw should be free of crop and weed seed. Suitable materials include wheat, oat and soybean straw. Leaves should be shredded or composted before applied as a mulch. Shredded or composted leaves are less likely to blow away in the wind.
A mulch depth of 2 to 4 inches would be appropriate when applying these materials to the vegetable garden.
My peonies bloom poorly. What could be wrong?
There are several factors which may cause peonies to bloom poorly. Peonies perform best in full sun. Peonies that receive less than 4 hours of direct sun will not bloom well. Plants growing in a shady location should be transplanted to a sunny site in September. Peonies planted too deeply often fail to bloom well.
When planting peonies, position the peony buds 1 to 2 inches below the soil surface. Peonies that are planted too deeply produce lush foliage, but don't bloom well. Recently planted or divided peonies may not bloom well for two or three years. The new plants need to grow and get stronger before they are capable of blooming well. Also, premature removal of peony foliage in July or August weakens plants, resulting in few flowers the following spring.

You say the idea that global warming could trigger a large drop in temperatures has finally been put to rest because no such event was found in the interglacial period around 120,000 years ago (11 September, p 6). But what about the Older Dryas event (ending around 12,000 BC), the Younger Dryas event (ending around 10,000 BC) or the cold snap that occurred between 6400 and 6000 BC?
Can we be sure that conditions today are sufficiently different that such periods of sudden cold, lasting hundreds, or thousands, of years, could not recur?

What would happen if manufacturers were responsible for the disposal of their used-up products? The Computer Take Back Campaign (CTBC), a coalition of environmental groups across the United States, hopes that the result would be both a national recycling network and the removal of hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and brominated flame retardants from products so that companies would not have to worry about them later. The CTBC has been promoting this idea with limited success since 2002, but this year it finally seems on the brink of acceptance.

We're going to have a mountain of old TV sets on our hands. Anyone have any ideas on how to re-use old analog TV sets?
Keep using them and buy a set-top box with an analogue output, of course. Or has the unfettered American electronics industry been advocating the trashing of your old stuff in favour of shiny new stuff for no good reason? I guess that's another reason to make them take responsibility for the entire product lifecycle.

Originally written on Blue Seat Blogs | Last updated 8/14/13
As the offseason wears on, us and Matt Josephs of Blue Line Station (Twitter: 11Matt_Josephs8) will be running a tournament for the Best Ranger since the 2005 lockout. Yesterday we saw #3 Michael Nylander beat #14 Jason Strudwick. Today's matchup is #7 Brian Boyle vs. #10 Nik Zherdev. Brian Boyle (acquired – 2009 trade with LA) When the Rangers acquired then-RFA Brian Boyle for a third round pick in the 2010 draft (Jordan Weal), most thought this was a bad trade and a terrible overpayment just so we could have "our own 2003 1st round pick." Boyle was used in a bottom-six capacity and really thrived in that role with the Rangers, with both Tom Renney and John Tortorella. His 21-goal season may have been a blip and he's more likely to be in the 5-10 goal, 10-20 point range. That said, he's one of the top defensive forwards in the game, and he is someone that AV will rely on heavily for defensive zone draws. Over his four seasons in New York, Boyle has a scoring line of 38-34-72 while ...
