With its signature hump, the world's fastest subsonic jetliner cruises at 565 m.p.h., or about 85 percent of the speed of sound at 30,000 feet. To the 10,200 people working in Sears Tower, the jumbo jet approaching from the north Sept. 20 was as tiny and unknowable as a germ. But soon it would torment the overworked imaginations of hundreds still skittish after what happened in New York nine days before.
Reaching for the transponder box, either the pilot or the co-pilot dialed in the four-digit code for an emergency so the control tower would know.
But the second digit came out wrong. The code should have been 7700. Instead it came out 7500, sending the erroneous signal that a hijacker had taken over the plane and setting in motion a chain of events that quickly traversed hundreds of miles.
Before long a trader for Merrill Lynch on the floor in New York overheard a conversation on a speakerphone--a call, authorities later would say, from a passenger on Flight 945. It sounded to the eavesdropping trader like the passenger was saying the plane had been hijacked in Milwaukee and was headed for Chicago.
Quickly, the rumor from New York bounced to Chicago with a phone call to the 56th-floor offices of Merrill Lynch and spread through Sears Tower.
On the 48th floor, somebody in equities at Goldman Sachs & Co. saw a TV news report about a hijacked plane and burst into the human resources department.
"A plane from Wisconsin's been hijacked and it's headed this way," human resources worker Jodi Shivers heard her co-worker say excitedly.
For a couple of seconds, nobody spoke or moved.
Then everybody scrambled for the exits.
Outside New York and Washington and far from any field of combat, the battle joined Sept. 11 was, for most, a fierce inner struggle.
Inside the nation's tallest skyscraper, innumerable personal dramas played out, as companies pondered finding new homes and the tower's managers scrambled to make the tower more secure. This premier address, this architectural marvel with spectacular views, had become the site of a distorted reality in which lower floors were coveted and some employees prayed for layoffs. Over time, workers there, like the rest of the country, found ways to cope and settled into a new kind of normalcy.
For some of them, the hijacking scare of Sept. 20 would prove to be a turning point, informing life-changing decisions. It would persuade a securities broker on the eighth floor to keep working in the building while giving a research associate on the 70th floor one more reason to leave.
Nancy Dombrowski, a securities broker at Stifel, Nicolaus & Co. Inc., was preparing to go downstairs for a smoke when her phone rang. It was a friend and former co-worker, a stock trader at 135 S. LaSalle St.
"Did you guys hear an alarm or get an evacuation announcement?" she recalls him asking.
"What are you talking about?" Dombrowski said.
"My buddy over there, he just called saying they're evacuating because of a plane hijacking out of Milwaukee."
"No," Dombrowski said, her stomach closing into a knot.

Malaysia Airlines has detailed a new management structure which will guide the loss-making company's recently-unveiled strategic effort to return to profitability.
It includes establishing a new business unit for network, alliance and strategy - headed by Hugh Dunleavy and supporting the carrier's partnerships and candidacy for Oneworld membership - as well as a programme management office.
But several other senior figures in Malaysia Airlines units will leave, including those from posts in MAS Aerospace Engineering, MASkargo, and the revenue management and commercial strategy divisions.
The new structure, effective from 1 January, places Ahmad Jauhari as chief executive of long-haul, with immediate oversight of operations, customer experience, network, alliance, strategy and planning, and human capital.
As deputy group chief and head of short-haul, Mohammed Rashdan will be in charge of group finance, aircraft finance and, in the interim, commercial. Shihaj Kutty, formerly of Etihad Airways, will lead revenue management.
Jauhari said the restructuring "signals a new era" for Malaysia Airlines, adding: "It involves the setting-up of several new business units and the renaming of existing functions as well as the introduction of new leaders to take over from familiar faces who have decided to pursue other career opportunities."

Juan Roman Riquelme was overlooked once again as Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella named the home-based contingent of his squad for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ qualifier against Ecuador.
The veteran playmaker has impressed in recent weeks with Boca Juniors but there was no place for him as Sabella added five domestic stars to the 18-strong overseas contingent already selected.
Two of Riquelme's team-mates, keeper Agustin Orion and defender Clemente Rodriguez, joined Estudiantes trio Mariano Andujar, Leandro Desabato and Rodrigo Brana in the squad to face Ecuador on 2 June and Brazil a week later in a friendly in the United States.
Argentina squad
Goalkeepers: S Romero (Sampdoria/Italy), A Orion (Boca Juniors), M Andujar (Estudiantes)
Defenders: P Zabaleta (Manchester City/England), M Rodriguez (Universidad de Chile/Chile), E Garay (Benfica/Portugal), F Fernandez (Napoli/Italy), H Campagnaro (Napoli/Italy), M Rojo (Spartak Moscow/Russia), C Rodriguez (Boca Juniors), L Desabato (Estudiantes)
Midfielders: J Mascherano (Barcelona/Spain), F Gago (Roma/Italy), J Sosa (FC Metalist/Ukraine), M Rodriguez (Liverpool/England), P Guinazu (Internacional/Brazil), E Salvio (Atletico Madrid/Spain), R Brana (Estudiantes)
Forwards: E Lavezzi (Napoli/Italy), A Di Maria (Real Madrid/Spain), L Messi (Barcelona/Spain), G Higuain (Real Madrid/Spain), S Aguero (Manchester City/England)


text: TexasLangGenius, they are not "experts" by any stretch of interpretation, just loudmouths out to poison the alternative art of film photography: a vociferous minority in the Kumbaya-holding hands style of toxic activism. The vast majority of digital "experts" have no formal training in the craft of photography like so many of us who have studied it at tertiary level then worked in business. Their knowledge is hand-me-down and in a great many cases just heresy. They will be proven wrong in the future, they've already been proven wrong in stating ad nauseum how superior their method of photography is over the traditional means (something we learned and wise have known since Nelson lost an eye). Let's not get all hot and bothered while we currently have so much variety in film and instead of idle discourse, load up the cameras and get out there and shoot!

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 6/17/12
LaDainian Tomlinson will retire from the NFL as a member of the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers said Sunday that Tomlinson, who was the NFL MVP in 2006 with San Diego and is the fifth-leading rusher in league history, will re-sign with the team on Monday and then announce his retirement. Tomlinson was drafted in the first round by San Diego in 2001 and spent the first nine years of his career with the Chargers. He played the last two seasons with the Jets. Tomlinson had said recently that he might continue his career if the right opportunity was available. Some fans hoped the Chargers would bring back Tomlinson as a third-down back, but that appeared impossible as long as general manager A.J. Smith is in control. Tomlinson, one of the biggest stars in Chargers history, had a less-than-smooth separation with San Diego in February 2010. While his production had fallen off and injuries were mounting, he had a public tiff with Smith. The GM even mocked the star running back at one ...

reached because of the lack of studies of the relationship between immune function and lead in human adults and because most of the studies reported changes only in observational characteristics, such as immune-cell profiles or Ig concentrations, rather than effects on immune function (such as lymphocyte proliferation, phagocytosis of infectious agents, and NK tumoricidal activity), which is linked more closely with pathologic response or human disease. Even in those cases, however, there was inadequate evidence of an association owing to a general lack of investigations at lower BLLs and inconsistency in available data. The metric of bone lead could have been relevant in terms of a cumulative dose, but very few studies that examined changes in immune end points used non-BLL metrics.
Other Studies Considered
Alterations in the immune response that can be easily studied in humans are limited and are primarily reflective of changes in circulating leukocyte profiles and Ig concentrations. Some studies of lead-exposed workers have reported lead-associated differences in serum Ig concentrations, percentages of CD4+ TH cells, increased circulating B-lymphocytes, decreased NK cells, and impaired lymphoblastogenesis (Ewers et al. 1982; Horiguchi et al. 1992; Fischbein et al. 1993; Queiroz et al. 1993; Undeger et al. 1996; Pinkerton et al. 1998; Basaran and Undeger 2000; El-Safty and Metwally 2000; Kuo et al. 2001; Qiao et al. 2001; Ayatollahi 2002; Mishra et al. 2003, 2006; Heo et al. 2004; Valentino et al. 2007; Mishra et al. 2010; Garcia-Leston et al. 2011). In contrast, other human investigations at similar BLLs demonstrated opposite or no effects on the same characteristics (Horiguchi et al. 1992; Queiroz et al. 1994; Pinkerton et al. 1998; Heo et al. 2004; Mishra et al. 2006; Freije and Dairi 2009). Some results of relevant studies that demonstrated early immunotoxic effects in lead-exposed workers who had BLLs of 40 μg/dL or under are described in brief below.
El-Safty and Metwally (2000) found reduced serum IgA, IgM, and IgG concentrations in lead-exposed plumbers who had an average BLL of 39 μg/dL. Studies by Mishra et al. (2006) supported the finding on circulating Ig and further demonstrated that lead-exposed workers who had an average BLL over 10 μg/dL had increased serum IgA. Fischbein et al. (1993) reported alterations in circulating blood mononuclear-cell profiles and lymphocyte function in firearms instructors. Results of that highly relevant study demonstrated that people who had an average BLL of 25 μg/dL or under, and to a greater extent those who had a BLL over 25 μg/dL, had lower concentrations and lower functional integrity of CD4+ TH lymphocytes than healthy nonexposed controls. Specifically, the absolute percentage and number of CD3+ and CD4+ cells were statistically significantly reduced, whereas those of CD8+ cells were unchanged. Functional integrity of T cells, as determined by proliferative responses to mitogens, was impaired, whereas that of T-cell-dependent B-lymphocyte function appeared to be within the normal range at all stages of maturation. Another study (Sata et al. 1997) demonstrated that circulating immune cell profiles were increased in leadexposed male workers, concentrations of B lymphocytes were positively associated


text: I was at a contest recently and the team next to me was disqualified on their pork entry. Later after the contest I talked to the team members about the reason they were disqualified. They proceeded to tell me it was for using kale and endives. So I asked them if they used kale and endives on their chicken and rib entry. They said they did, and not only at this contest. They used kale and endives on all four categories at a previous contest. At that point I was getting frustrated because his previous contest was the same contest I competed in. So I looked up the results and they placed in the top ten in one category. Not that it made a huge difference in the outcome of the contest but the fact that this got past six table captains and thirty-six judges before getting caught is what disturbed me. But the worst part of the whole situation was that he told me he was a CBJ himself. Now I could see a situation where the rules were kind of vague or a little gray, but this rule is spelled out in black and white. At what point do they take away someone's CBJ status? What other rules are being broken and missed? I want to say I am very disappointed in a system that I spend a lot of time and money involved in.

Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowing for investment purposes) in securities of small companies. The fund's subadviser focuses mainly on U.S. companies with market capitalizations at time of purchase that are within or below the range of companies included in the Russell 2000® Index. The fund will not sell a security just because the company has grown to a market capitalization above the range. The fund may, on occasion, purchase companies with a market capitalization outside the range.

Garter Trap Shawl
Today, we're featuring the Garter Trap pattern by Andra Asars.
This one is a free pattern on Ravelry. Here's a link!
The Garter Trap
You may have noticed our Garter Trap store sample. It gets a lot of attention! It's one of those patterns that looks a lot more complicated than it is. It's made with a long-striping "degradé" style yarn – specifically, Jawoll Magic Degradé – interspersed with a plain-colored yarn. The effect is gorgeous: the multi-colored stripes are broken up by the plain-colored yarn so it looks like you've switched yarns many times and woven in a million multi-colored yarn ends when you haven't done any of that! Due to the visual interest of the striping yarn, the very simple pattern tends to maintain the interest of potentially impatient knitters through the end. The next color is always coming right up!
This shawl is a total winner!

Necessity and mothers
When I was 11 years old, my mom was knitting matching sweaters for my dad, my uncle and my two brothers for Christmas. They were beautiful Aran adventures and I was fascinated. Eventually they looked looked like this…
That's my dad on the left in the traditional off white. My Uncle Mark is on the right in baby blue that brought out all the bluey-green oceanic highlights in his lovely Finn eyes. Those are my brothers, Michael on the right and Matthew on the left in bolder warmer orange and red. They were all thrilled to get their sweaters on Christmas morning. And no one noticed a thing.
See…I had a guilty secret. When Mum was working on Dad's sweater, I had picked it up out of her basket and was looking at the rope cable on the side of the front panel that goes up to the shoulder. She had finished the armhole decreasing and was about 2 inches from finishing the front. When she saw me turning it around and poking at the yarn, she went wild. In a voice that will ring in the naughty girl corridors of my mind forever, she yelled, "PUT THAT DOWN! You're going to drop my stitches! Do you have any idea how much work I've put into that…" and more in that same tone. Well. I put it down fast enough, and she thought no more about it. But I did.
About an hour later, Mum blithely went out shopping. As soon as I heard her car turn the corner, I was back in the knitting basket. I picked up that beautiful sweater and was poking at it again, trying to figure out how she had done it. When I heard the kitchen door open, I thought Mum must have forgotten something and come back to get it. Knowing she would be very cross indeed if she caught me with her sweater again after expressly telling me to leave it alone, I ditched the thing as quickly as I could and was innocently reading in the corner of the sofa when my brothers careened through the room on their was somewhere else. A narrow escape, and I went back to pick up the sweater.
That was when I saw the disaster. The exact disaster Mum had been afraid of. I had indeed dropped stitches. I had dropped eleven stitches, to be precise. They had run down several rows in the middle of that cable on the right shoulder.
At this point in my life I can acknowledge that we would all have gotten over it. Eventually. Probably. But at that moment my breath caught in my throat. My life flashed before my eyes. At that moment I was certain I was going to die. I was certain that my mother would end my life. Unless…
I'm not ashamed to admit that when my life was on the line, I thought briefly of framing one of my brothers. Trouble was, neither of them had ever shown the least interest in knitting. And I had already been caught messing with that sweater. There was no way Mum would believe the boys had had anything to do with it. My only option to save myself was to put those stitches back the way I had found them and vow to never touch yarn again.
There is a way, in moments of stress, when ones senses can be heightened and the ability to focus on the smallest details can become crystal clear. I had one of those moments. The world fell away and I saw only that off white wool and its serpentine path through the knitted work. Each stitch rose up as a cul de sac in the ongoing road from the cast on row, through the overpasses of the cables, the roundabouts of the honeycomb center panel, the cobbled surfaces of the purl stitch ground and the textured stitches rising like causeways. To this day, I visualize knitted fabric as a kind of intricate road map where everything goes in its proper direction to its destination. When I was able to see it that way, I was able to see how to reconstruct the parts of the path that I had destroyed. Using the tips of the needles, I picked up the stitches where they lay and pulled loops through loops, crossed stitch paths and lifted those columns back onto the needles in the proper order. The adrenaline burned the process into my memory more than any other knitting I have done since.
When all eleven stitches were reconstructed and back on the needles I was able to let my breath out and time seemed to flow around me again. I gave a few gentle tugs to even out the tension and carefully put the sweater back in the basket. I was again reading in the sofa corner when Mum arrived back home with a car load of groceries. In the next few hours, I was on tenter hooks waiting to see if she would be able to see the patch job. All through dinner and evening TV I was waiting for some repercussion. As I went to bed I was especially nervous; after we kids were in bed was prime knitting time for Mum. I went to sleep waiting for a shriek of discovery that never came.
On Christmas morning when Dad, Uncle Mark, Michael and Matthew tried on their new sweaters and posed for the picture above, I almost couldn't watch for fear that some one would be able to tell what I had done. But, nope. As you can see, they are smilingly oblivious. And I bet you can't see any mistake either.
About 30 years later, I was at Mum and Dad's for Christmas again. I was knitting in the kitchen while Mum did something with the grandkids in the living room, and my sister asked my how I learned to pick up dropped stitches. As I finished telling her my story, I heard my mothers voice from the living room saying, "I TOLD YOU TO LEAVE THAT SWEATER ALONE!" This time, I was pretty sure she was not going to kill me. The statute of limitations has run out; that sweater is long gone. Besides, necessity is the mother of invention and that is how I learned to pick up dropped stitches…and cross cables, and much, much, more knitting arcana. So I laughed at her, and she admitted that she had never noticed, so I must have done a bang up job of it.
I've never again been afraid of knitting. I am the boss of my knitting thanks to my mother…sort of.

MH Hooded Phantom Down is wicked awesome
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I recently picked up one of these bad boys and does exactly what I need. I sized up so I can throw it on over my jacket while switching out the skins and getting ready for the down hills. Even with the extra room inside it's still the warmest 1lb down I have ever worn thanks to the weight mostly coming from mountain hardware's 850 down, the shell is extremely light weight and the unnecessary bells and whistles are absent on this no nonsense mountaineer approved down. If you thinking about getting one DO IT! I'm 6' and about 180 and the large is roomy enough to throw on over a jacket but a medium would fit better over just a base layer.

News articles on impact of climate change
Mongabay.com news articles on impact of climate change in blog format. Updated regularly.
What would the Dalai Lama do?: spiritual leader speaks out on climate change
(11/30/2009) The Dalai Lama has given up taking baths in favor of showers and makes certain all lights are off when he leaves a room to help lower his carbon footprint, he told a crowd of reporters in Sydney Australia today.
Global warming will increase likelihood of civil war in Africa by 55 percent
(11/23/2009) There have been many warnings by policymakers that rising temperatures in Africa could lead to civil conflict, however a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is the first to uncover empirical evidence for these warnings and quantify them. The results—that higher temperatures increased the likelihood of civil war in sub-Saharan Africa by over 50 percent—took aback even the researchers.
Oceans' ability to sequester carbon diminishing
(11/18/2009) A new study—the first of its kind—has completed an annual accounting of the oceans' intake of carbon over the past 250 years, and the news is troubling. According to the study, published in Nature, the oceans' ability to sequester carbon is struggling to keep-up with mankind's ever-growing emissions. Since 2000 researchers estimate that while every year the oceans continue to sequester more anthropogenic carbon emission, the overall proportion of carbon taken in by the oceans is declining.
Coastal habitats may sequester 50 times more carbon than tropical forests by area
(11/16/2009) Highly endangered coastal habitats are incredibly effective in sequestering carbon and locking it away in soil, according to a new paper in a report by the IUCN. The paper attests that coastal habitats—such as mangroves, sea grasses, and salt marshes—sequester as much as 50 times the amount of carbon in their soil per hectare as tropical forest. "The key difference between these coastal habitats and forests is that mangroves, seagrasses and the plants in salt marshes are extremely efficient at burying carbon in the sediment below them where it can stay for centuries or even millennia."
Declaration calls for more wilderness protected areas to combat global warming
(11/11/2009) Meeting this week in Merida, Mexico, the 9th World Wilderness Congress (WILD9) has released a declaration that calls for increasing wilderness protections in an effort to mitigate climate change. The declaration, which is signed by a number of influential organizations, argues that wilderness areas—both terrestrial and marine—act as carbon sinks, while preserving biodiversity and vital ecosystem services.
Nations vulnerable to global warming present demands: carbon levels below 350ppm and billions in aid
(11/10/2009) A group of nations especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change have released a declaration calling for developed countries to keep CO2 emission below 350 parts per million (ppm) and to give 1.5 percent of their gross domestic product to aid developing nations in adapting to the myriad impacts of climate change.
Global warming threatens desert life
(11/09/2009) There have been numerous studies showing how climate change is impacting a variety of environments—from the Arctic to coral reefs to alpine—but how could a warmer world damage deserts, already the world's warmest and driest environments?
Hunting across Southeast Asia weakens forests' survival, An interview with Richard Corlett
(11/08/2009) A large flying fox eats a fruit ingesting its seeds. Flying over the tropical forests it eventually deposits the seeds at the base of another tree far from the first. One of these seeds takes root, sprouts, and in thirty years time a new tree waits for another flying fox to spread its speed. In the Southeast Asian tropics an astounding 80 percent of seeds are spread not by wind, but by animals: birds, bats, rodents, even elephants. But in a region where animals of all shapes and sizes are being wiped out by uncontrolled hunting and poaching—what will the forests of the future look like? This is the question that has long occupied Richard Corlett, professor of biological science at the National University of Singapore.
NASA satellite image reveals extent of drought in East Africa
(11/05/2009) A new image from NASA shows the severity of the drought in East Africa, which impacted Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia.
Kenya's pain, part two: decades of wildlife decline exacerbated by drought
(10/20/2009) Not many years ago if you were planning a trip to Africa to see wildlife, Kenya would be near the top of the list, if not number one. Then violent riots in late 2007 and early 2008 leaving a thousand dead tarnished the country's image abroad. When calm and stability returned, Kenya was again open for tourism, and it's true that most travelers were quick to forget: articles earlier this year announced that even with the global economic crisis Kenya was expecting tourism growth. However, a new disaster may not be so quickly overcome.
Arctic lake undergoing unprecedented changes due to warming
(10/19/2009) The Arctic should be growing cooler, but a new sediment core taken from an Arctic lake reveals that the lake's ecology and chemistry has been transformed by unnatural warming beginning in the 1950s. The sediment core proves that changes happening in the lake during the Twentieth Century are unprecedented over the past 200,000 years. Headed by University of Colorado scientist Yarrow Axelford, the study retrieved the sediment core from the bottom of a thirty foot deep lake on Baffin Island. Importantly the sediment core goes back 80,000 years further than any other core retrieved from the Greenland ice sheet, providing researchers with the longest timescale yet of changes in the Arctic climate.
Present day tropical plant families survived in warmer, wetter tropics 58 million years ago
(10/18/2009) Fifty eight million years ago the tropical rainforests of South America shared many similarities with today's Neotropical forests, according to research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Looking at over 2,000 fossils in Colombia from one of the world's largest open pit coal mines, scientists were able to recreate for the first time the structure of a long vanished rainforest. One inhabited by a titanic snake, giant turtles, and crocodile-like reptiles.
Freshwater species worse off than land or marine
(10/15/2009) Scientists have announced that freshwater species are likely the most threatened on earth. Extinction rates for freshwater inhabitants are currently four to six times the rates for terrestrial and marine species. Yet, these figures have not lead to action on the ground.
Brazilian beef giants agree to moratorium on Amazon deforestation
(10/07/2009) Four of the world's largest cattle producers and traders have agreed to a moratorium on buying cattle from newly deforested areas in the Amazon rainforest, reports Greenpeace.
Could agroforestry solve the biodiversity crisis and address poverty?, an interview with Shonil Bhagwat
(09/24/2009) With the world facing a variety of crises: climate change, food shortages, extreme poverty, and biodiversity loss, researchers are looking at ways to address more than one issue at once by revolutionizing sectors of society. One of the ideas is a transformation of agricultural practices from intensive chemical-dependent crops to mixing agriculture and forest, while relying on organic methods. The latter is known as agroforestry or land sharing—balancing the crop yields with biodiversity. Shonil Bhagwat, Director of MSc in Biodiversity, Conservation and Management at the School of Geography and the Environment, Oxford, believes this philosophy could help the world tackle some of its biggest problems.
Satellite lasers show melting of Greenland, Antarctic worse than expected
(09/23/2009) Researchers examining 43 million satellite measurements of Antarctica's thinning ice sheets and 7 million of Greenland's, show that the ice is melting faster than expected. Published in Nature the research is the most comprehensive picture to date of the melting glaciers, allowing scientists to better predict how sea levels may rise.
Fake Obama makes climate change top priority
(09/21/2009) In an effort to push the real President Obama to attend the UN Summit on Climate Change in December, a fake Obama took over on Friday.
Kenya's pain: famine, drought, government ambivalence cripples once stable nation
(09/17/2009) Kenya was once considered one of Sub-Saharan Africa's success stories: the country possessed a relatively stable government, a good economy, a thriving tourist industry due to a beautiful landscape and abundant wildlife. But violent protests following a disputed election in 2007 hurt the country's reputation, and then—even worse—drought and famine struck the country this year. The government response has been lackluster, the international community has been distracted by the economic crisis, and suddenly Kenya seems no longer to be the light of East Africa, but a warning to the world about the perils of ignoring climate change, government corruption, and the global food and water shortages.
Concerns over deforestation may drive new approach to cattle ranching in the Amazon
(09/08/2009) While you're browsing the mall for running shoes, the Amazon rainforest is probably the farthest thing from your mind. Perhaps it shouldn't be. The globalization of commodity supply chains has created links between consumer products and distant ecosystems like the Amazon. Shoes sold in downtown Manhattan may have been assembled in Vietnam using leather supplied from a Brazilian processor that subcontracted to a rancher in the Amazon. But while demand for these products is currently driving environmental degradation, this connection may also hold the key to slowing the destruction of Earth's largest rainforest.
Sea levels set to rise as Arctic warming replaces millennia long natural cooling cycle
(09/03/2009) According to a new study published in Science the Arctic should be cooling, and in fact has been cooling for millennia. But beginning in 1900 Arctic summer temperatures began rising until the mid-1990s when the cooling trend was completely overcome. Researchers fear that this sudden up-tick in temperatures could lead to rising sea levels threatening coastal cities and islands. "Scientists have known for a while that the current period of warming was preceded by a long-term cooling trend," said lead author Darrell Kaufman of Northern Arizona University. "But our reconstruction quantifies the cooling with greater certainty than ever before."
Political heat rising on climate change, but does the United States feel it?
(09/02/2009) The UN Summit on Climate Change isn't for three months, yet the political temperature has been rising steadily over the summer. The heat is especially focused on the three big players at the summit: China, India, and the United States.
Maldives president tells world: 'please, don't be stupid' on climate change
(09/01/2009) "Please, don't be stupid," Mohamed Nasheed told the world regarding the need to act decisively against climate change. To underlie his message, Nasheed announced that his country will become carbon neutral in ten years.
Summer sea ice likely to disappear in the Arctic by 2015
(08/31/2009) If current melting trends continue, the Arctic Ocean is likely to be free of summer sea ice by 2015, according to research presented at a conference organized by the National Space Institute at Technical University of Denmark, the Danish Meteorological Institute and the Greenland Climate Center.
Cost of climate change adaptation to be 2-3 times higher than current estimates
(08/27/2009) The cost of adapting to climate change will be significantly higher than estimated by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) warns a new report published by the International Institute for Environment and Development and the Grantham Institute for Climate Change at Imperial College London.
Economic crisis threatens conservation programs and endangered species, an interview with Paula Kahumbu of WildlifeDirect
(08/17/2009) Founded in 2004 by legendary conservationist Richard Leakey, WildlifeDirect is an innovative member of the conservation community. WildlifeDirect is really a meta-organization: it gathers together hundreds of conservation initiatives who blog regularly about the trials and joys of practicing on-the-ground conservation. From stories of gorillas reintroduced in the wild to tracking elephants in the Okavango Delta to saving sea turtles in Sumatra, WildlifeDirect provides the unique experience of actually hearing directly from scientists and conservationists worldwide.
China moves forward on global warming: top scientists recommend emissions peak in 2030
(08/17/2009) In a move that many have seen as a step forward for China in terms of its willingness to combat climate change, the nation's top climatologists have released a report recommending that China begin drawing down greenhouse gas emissions after 2030. The report comes just four months before a widely anticipated global meeting to set up a new international framework to combat climate change in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Historical deforestation in Madagascar may not be as bad as commonly believed
(08/12/2009) The long-held assumption that Madagascar has lost 90 percent of its forest cover due to fire and slash-and-burn agriculture may be overstated, argues new research published in Conservation Letters. Analyzing 6000-year pollen records in four sites, Malika Virah-Sawmy of Oxford University found evidence that vegetation in southeast Madagascar has for millennia been a mosaic of forests, woodlands and savannas, rather than continuous forests as generally believed. Virah-Sawmy says the findings demonstrate the importance of conserving Madagascar's remaining ecosystems as a buffer against climate change.
Loss of Great Barrier Reef due to global warming would cost Australia $37.7 billion
(08/12/2009) A recent study reports that the loss of Australia's Great Barrier Reef due to climate change poses a catastrophe not just for marine life, but would cost $37.7 billion during the next century.
Climate change will challenge US military
(08/11/2009) US military intelligence analysts claim that climate change will present significant strategic issues around the world. The increased occurrences and severity of storms, droughts, resource shortages, and the spread of disease are all linked to climate change.
Photos: hundreds of new species discovered in Himalayan region, threatened by climate change
(08/10/2009) Scientists from a variety of organizations have found over 350 new species in the Eastern Himalayas, including a flying frog, the world's smallest deer, and a gecko which has walked the earth for 100-million-years, according to a new report by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The report, entitled Where World's Collide, warns that these rare biological treasures, as well as numerous other species, are threatened in the Eastern Himalayas by climate change.
Ban Ki-Moon: climate change 'greatest collective challenge we face'
(08/10/2009) United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon spoke on Monday of the challenges facing the world and singled out climate change as the greatest.
Large Trees Declining in Yosemite
(08/07/2009) A recent study by the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) indicates a substantial decline in the number of large-diameter trees in Yellowstone National Park. Between the 1930s and the 1990s there was a 24% decline in large diameter trees.
Indigenous communities threatened by climate change
(08/03/2009) Indigenous cultures around the world are facing increasing threats with the effects of climate change. In addition to the myriad organisms condemned to extinction by climate change, many indigenous human cultures are also in danger. Entire island populations must relocate as rising ocean levels bring devastating storm surges, food supplies for tropical communities are becoming scarcer, and remote Arctic populations are becoming more isolated as polar ice vanishes.
Global warming-induced forest fires to increase health risks in western U.S.
(07/28/2009) Warmer, drier climate in the American West will increase the incidence and severity of forest fires, worsening air quality, reports a new study accepted for publication in the Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres.
Global warming may reduce lifespan of cold-blooded species
(07/27/2009) Cold-blooded animals, including fish, amphibians, crustaceans, and reptiles, seem to live longer under cooler conditions, suggesting that warming climate could have impacts on the lifespan of creatures whose body temperatures vary with the temperature of their surroundings, report researchers writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
Global ocean temperatures at warmest level since 1880
(07/21/2009) Global ocean temperatures rose to the warmest on record, according to data released last week by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The combined average global land and ocean surface temperature for June was second-warmest since global recording-keeping began in 1880. NOAA also reported a return of el Niño, raising the prospect of dryness—and risk of forest fires—in Southeast Asia.
Global warming may be causing animals to shrink
(07/20/2009) Warming climate may favor small species over large ones, reports a study published Monday in the early online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
NASA reveals dramatic thinning of Arctic sea ice
(07/07/2009) Arctic sea ice thinned dramatically between the winters of 2004 and 2008, with thin seasonal ice replacing thick older ice as the dominant type of sea ice for the first time on record, report NASA researchers. Scientists from NASA and the University of Washington used observations from NASA's Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) to make the first Arctic Ocean basin-wide estimate of the thickness and volume of sea ice cover. The researchers found that overall Arctic sea ice thinned about 17.8 centimeters (7 inches) a year, for a total of 67 cm (2.2 feet) over the four winters from 2004 to 2008. The total area covered by thick older ice that survives one or more summers ("multi-year ice") shrank 42 percent or 1.54 million square kilometers (595,000 square miles), leaving thinner first-year ice ("seasonal ice") as the dominant type of ice in the region.
Extinction risk for Amazonian plants may be lower than previously estimated
(07/06/2009) Five to nine percent of the Amazon's 40,000 known species of plants will be at risk of extinction by 2050 should current deforestation trends continue, report researchers writing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The estimates are sharply lower than the 20 to 33 percent predicted in other studies.
Global warming causes sheep to shrink
(07/02/2009) Climate change is shrinking Scotland's wild Soay sheep despite the evolutionary advantages of having a large body, report researchers writing in the journal Science. The results suggest that the decrease is primarily an ecological response to environmental variation over the last 25 years, rather than evolutionary change.
869 species extinct, 17,000 threatened with extinction
(07/02/2009) Nearly 17,000 plant and animal species are known to be threatened with extinction, while more than 800 have disappeared over the past 500 years, reports the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). While these numbers are substantial, they are likely "gross" underestimates since only 2.7 percent of 1.8 million described species have been assessed. The IUCN report warns that governments will miss their 2010 target for reducing biodiversity loss.
Scientists call on Obama for 'maximum personal leadership' to combat global warming
(06/22/2009) Twenty leading scientists have called on President Obama "to exercise maximum personal leadership" in tackling the threat posed by climate change.
New report predicts dire consequences for every U.S. region from global warming
(06/17/2009) Government officials and scientists released a 196 page report detailing the impact of global warming on the U.S. yesterday. The study, commissioned in 2007 during the Bush Administration, found that every region of the U.S. faces large-scale consequences due to climate change, including higher temperatures, increased droughts, heavier rainfall, more severe weather, water shortages, rising sea levels, ecosystem stresses, loss of biodiversity, and economic impacts.
Will jellyfish take over the world?
(06/16/2009) It could be a plot of a (bad) science-fiction film: a man-made disaster creates spawns of millions upon millions of jellyfish which rapidly take over the ocean. Humans, starving for mahi-mahi and Chilean seabass, turn to jellyfish, which becomes the new tuna (after the tuna fishery has collapsed, of course). Fish sticks become jelly-sticks, and fish-and-chips becomes jelly-and-chips. The sci-fi film could end with the ominous image of a jellyfish evolving terrestrial limbs and pulling itself onto land—readying itself for a new conquest.
Photo: guano stains helps researchers track penguins by satellite
(06/10/2009) Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) have uncovered a novel way to locate the world's largest penguin's breeding sites, employing satellite imagery they seek out Emperor penguin guano, droppings which show up starkly on the otherwise unsullied white sea ice of Antarctica. Searching for the penguins themselves had proven too difficult, since the birds' black-and-white coloring allowed them to blend in with the shadows made by the ice. The penguin droppings however are light-brown—a colors that has no other source on sea ice, besides guano.
Network of parks can save Africa's birds in warmer world
(06/02/2009) As Africa's birds are forced to move habitats due to climate change, a new study finds that the continent's current park system will continue to protect up to 90 percent of bird species. "We looked at bird species across the whole network of protected areas in Africa and the results show that wildlife conservation areas will be essential for the future survival of many species of birds," said Dr. Stephen Willis from Durham University. "Important Bird Areas (IBAs) will provide new habitats for birds that are forced to move as temperatures and rainfall change and food sources become scarce in the areas where they currently occur. Protected areas are a vital conservation tool to help birds adapt to climate change in the 21st century."
Permian mass extinction caused by giant volcanic eruption
(05/28/2009) Two hundred and sixty million years ago the Earth experienced its worst mass extinction: 95 percent of marine life and 70 percent of terrestrial life vanished. Long a subject of dispute, researchers from the University of Leeds believe they have confirmed the reason behind the so-called Permian extinction.
Starfish may benefit from global warming
(05/25/2009) Climate change is expected to cause widespread disruptions to ecosystems and their resident species. Some creatures will go extinct, others will expand their ranges and thrive. A new study identifies starfish as one of the likely winners from rising ocean temperatures and carbon dioxide concentrations.
Drought threatens rare desert elephants
(05/21/2009) The worst drought in 26 years is threatening a rare herd of desert elephants in the West African country of Mail, warns the conservation organization Save the Elephants. The herd of 350-450 desert elephants live in the Gourma district of Mali,resting in the Sahel belt that separates the Saharan desert from the Sudan.
Study refutes criticism of polar bear listing under the Endangered Species Act
(05/20/2009) In May 2008 the Bush Administration listed the polar bear under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The listing immediately received allegations of being politically biased and not based on sound science. However, a new paper addresses the allegations point by point and concludes that the decision to add the polar bear under the ESA was not only scientifically sound, but right.

England will play Brazil and Ireland in friendlies at Wembley Stadium next year as part of celebrations to mark the Football Association's 150th anniversary. The FA says Brazil will play at the London venue on Feb. 6, and England will then face the 2014 World Cup host in Rio de Janeiro in June. Before England goes on its two-game tour of South America, Roy Hodgson's side will play Ireland at Wembley on May 29. It will be the first time the two countries have played each other since England supporters tore up seats and hurled missiles in 1995, leading to the match at Lansdowne Road being abandoned.

Critics at the Venice Film Festival seem to have found the first big flop up for an award, the Scarlett Johansson-starring 'Under the Skin'
Scarlett Johansson stars in the Jonathan Glazer sci-fi that is currently dividing critics at the Venice Film Festival right down the middle; Under the Skin. Amidst reports that parts of the audience walked out during the screening of the Scotland-filmed movie, whilst others just stayed and heckled until the end, the film has also received some of the strongest reviews given in the festival so far, with some praising the film as a modern masterpiece.
The new film has split critics
The critics are well and truly divided over the film, in which Johansson plays a black wigged alien who feasts on ramblers in the Scottish Highlands and Glasgow city centre; hardly your standard blurb for a film being touted as one of the best in years, but then again it is also being touted as one of the worst films in years too. Robbie Collin of The Telegraph gave a glowing, five-star review of the film, which he described as an "astonishing" feat that will leave audiences "entranced and terrified" at the same time. He goes on to mention that, in a largely dialogue-free setting, Scarlett give a superb and chilling performance that may just be her best to date, as she wanders purposely through Glasgow to harvest human with masterful acting ability. As for Glazer's direction, he seems to pinpoint where people may have disagreed with the film, stating that the director "leaves you to make sense of his images by yourself, or simply to wallow in them when you can't."
Watch the trailer for Under the Skin
Collins cuts a nearly solitary figure in his glowing review, with others being nowhere near as kind to a film in which Scarlett Johansson supposedly get naked (surely making it an instant five-star classic). From a five-star rating, The Independent gave the film only one star in their review by Kaleem Aftab. Commenting that it seems as though "Glazer simply gave up on trying to find a cohesive story," the review is a far cry from the Telegraph's reception. Johansson's performance is given some praise, but overall the critic reckons that the film is more like a collection of "perfume adverts or music video."
Producer James Wilson (L), Scarlett Johansson (M) and director Jonathan Glazer (R) attend the premiere of the film in Venice
Scott Feinberg of the Hollywood Reporter was equally as negative in his review, although he, like many others, was keen to single out Johansson for her thoroughly convincing performance. Stating in his review that a "not inconsiderable number" of people walked out of the cinema through sheer tedium, he doesn't paint a great picture of a film that is only just held together by Scarlett's "totally commit[ted]" part.
So is it a modern day Citizen Kane? Or is it just really bad? Under the Skin is out on general release once it finds a distributor and you can ask the same question yourself when it comes out.
Scarlett has roundly praised for her performance in the divisive film

Italian Regional trains - how long tix valid
I remember that Italian Regional train tickets are valid for a certain amount of time after being stamped but don't remember how long. My goal is to get on a train in Bologna to (via a connection) Cremona and get off for an hour or two in Parma on the way. Can I do that or do I need a new ticket for each segment? I have a sneaking memory of hearing that the times had been tightened up???

Have you checked your flight reservations lately?
Someone posted something like this recently, but it is worth repeating. I was booked via United on a return flight from Munich to Denver via Toronto. I recently went to the website to see if I could figure out the immigration/customs situation in Toronto. I was surprised to see a note on my itinerary. Apparently my flight from Toronto to Denver had been cancelled, and they had put me on an earlier flight, the last flight from Toronto, which left Toronto 25 minutes before my flight from Munich arrived! There was a further note that asked if I accepted the change. Well, duh. Do I mind if my flight to Denver leaves before I arrive? And, they didn't offer an alternative, just asked if I accept an impossible connection. And they hadn't notified me of the conflict. What if I had just assumed that I had a connection and hadn't checked? Does the guy who runs this airline make more than minimum wage? If so, he is overpaid. Good(?) news, after almost an hour on the phone, I got them to reschedule me through Dulles (Ugh). So I will get home sometime that night, no thanks to United.

The Suns turned to their two-time Most Valuable Player in the closing minutes of Game 5 Tuesday. For one of the few times in his career, Steve Nash didn't respond.
SLIDESHOW: See photos from Game 5
Spurs notebook: Bowen comes up with biggest defensive play of series
Nash committed three turnovers in the final two minutes of Phoenix's 92-87 loss to the San Antonio Spurs.
The uncharacteristic finish ended an uncharacteristic game for Nash, who made just 4 of 16 shots and had more turnovers (five) than assists (three).
"I know I made a couple of key turnovers that cost us," Nash said.
Suns coach Mike D'Antoni believes Nash was thrown off when Phoenix ran its offense through forward Boris Diaw to take advantage of the mismatch he had in the low post.
"When we do that through Boris we are a different team," D'Antoni said. "We had to switch identities and that takes adjustment periods for everything you do. We have to adjust or change the points of reference on the floor, ball movement on the floor — you are affected without a doubt."
Nash said he thought the Suns "improvised too much" offensively.
"We didn't run sets that we were used to running," he said. … "We probably should have calmed down a little bit. I'll take responsibility for that."
With an ever-present ice bag tucked inside his practice shorts at the morning shootaround, Grant Hill was resigned to not playing in Game 5. He was inactive for the first time in the series, replaced on the bench by rookie Alando Tucker.
And after playing in 70 games and resurrecting his injury-prone career during the regular season, to have to watch another chance to win his first NBA playoff series is yet another in a series of professional disappointments.
"We looked better without me (in Game 4), so let's keep winning," Hill said. "The last two weeks have been hard. Thinking about the whys … the hows … it's a pretty tough thing. I just have to keep hoping that I have more to give, that there will be enough time."
Hill's abdominal/groin injury has some of the telltale signs of his second sports hernia — a tear in the muscles of the lower abdomen that can lead to the muscle pulling away from the bones. An MRI taken before Game 3 didn't confirm the fears, but a true diagnosis is only possible through an arthroscopic examination.
After finally overcoming foot and ankle problems, Hill missed all but 19 games of the 2005-06 season with the hernia, which required surgery. At that time, he said he would consider retirement if he was faced with another surgery.
For the third time in as many games in San Antonio, a good first half of work by Phoenix unraveled in the final minutes of the first half.
The Suns reeled in a 30-22, late-first-quarter deficit with a 17-6 run, capped by a Shaquille O'Neal dunk and a 39-36 lead. But the Spurs, who cut deeply into Phoenix leads in Games 1 and 2 just before halftime, outscored the Suns 18-6 over the final 5:40 and ended the half with seven straight points. Tony Parker's 3-pointer with 4.9 seconds left gave San Antonio its biggest lead (54-45) at intermission.
First, Dallas' Jason Kidd avoided a suspension for his horse-collar tackle on Janero Pargo of New Orleans on Sunday. Then Monday, neither Boston's Kendrick Perkins nor Atlanta's Marvin Williams were suspended after both admitted going on the court to "observe" the skirmish between Kevin Garnett of the Celtics and Zaza Pachulia of the Hawks — with NBA Commissioner David Stern watching from the stands.
But none of the Suns were interested in comparing the decision to Game 4 of last year's Suns-Spurs series — when Amaré Stoudemire and Boris Diaw were suspended a game from "leaving the vicinity of the bench."
D'Antoni's only reaction was, "I have enough problems of my own."

Yale ISTF Conference: Food & Forests: Cultivating Resilient Landscapes
Yale Chapter of the International Society of Tropical Foresters
On January 24-26, the Yale Chapter of the International Society of Tropical Foresters will gather practitioners and researchers from academia, government, and environment and development institutions to discuss how development and conservation goals can be integrated across food producing landscapes in the tropics in order to promote food security and healthy forests. The conference will also consider at what scales this integration should occur, potential challenges to implementation, and lessons learned. We encourage submissions that look beyond yield and calories to address issues of access, nutrition, resilience, rights, and governance, as well as analyses of ecosystem services and forest management.
Yale's student chapter of the International Society of Tropical Foresters (ISTF) was first organized in 1989, as part of a network of natural resource professionals concerned with tropical resource management. ISTF provides a forum for students with interests and experiences in linking natural resource conservation and management with economic development. Members participate in a range of social, educational, and professional activities that promote the sharing of experiences and knowledge related to resource management in developing countries.

Is Your Child's Backpack Safe? Are You Sure?
National School Backpack Awareness Day, created by the American Occupational Therapy Association, actually isn't until September 19. But because you're probably thinking of buying a backpack now, I wanted to share some key info. The tote your child uses to haul books and assorted treasures to school may seem not seem like a big deal, but too-heavy packs can cause pain and injury. More than 79 million kids in the United States carry backpacks, and more than half of them are carrying one that's way too heavy. Overloading a backpack, or wearing it the wrong way, can cause back, neck and shoulder strain and pain. Pointers to keep in mind:
• A fully loaded backpack should weigh no more than ten percent of a child's body weight. So a student weighing 70 pounds shouldn't carry a backpack heavier than 7 pounds.
• Heaviest items should be loaded closest to the child's back.
• Arrange books and materials so they don't slide around inside.
• Regularly remove unnecessary items, to avoid added bulk.
• Buying a new pack? Select one with well-padded shoulders, to relieve pressure. The height of the backpack should extend from about two inches below the shoulder blades to waist level or slightly above; the bottom of the pack should rest in the curve of the lower back.
• Adjust shoulder straps so the pack fits snugly on your child's back.
• Kids should always wear their backpacks on both shoulders, with the waist belt, so the weight is evenly distributed.

Stately decor is inspired by the early 19th century, and free Wi-Fi and laptops are available in every room. Some rooms have great views of Hyde Park. Kid-friendly highlights include welcome gifts and daily treats, free use of children's movies, books and games, babysitting services, and a family fun package. Some of the Deluxe Rooms have one double and one queen bed, and all rooms can accommodate rollaway beds and cribs. Plus, adjoining rooms are available in some suites.
Town Hall Hotel Rating: 5.0 Pearls
This boutique hotel offers an excellent location on the southwest tip of Hyde Park overlooking Kensington Gardens. The individually decorated, luxe 67 rooms all showcase classic Italian touches as well as dramatic contemporary design, and many are spacious enough for families. Kid-friendly perks include babysitting services and an indoor pool. Plus, families can be driven around by the free chauffeur service in a Jaguar within a 1.5-mile radius. While only the two-bedroom apartments have two beds, rollaway beds and cribs are available in all room types.
The Halkin by COMO Rating: 5.0 Pearls
A 41-room boutique hotel with generous amounts of space, the Halkin exudes luxury -- from its distinctive Italian-cum-Asian interior design to its marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs. Sumptuous and spacious guest rooms literally offer convenience at the touch of a button, as all have wall consoles for calling the butler and other services. Cribs are available in all rooms and suites, and deluxe rooms have space for rollaway beds.

Nonethless, it welcomes families and offers babysitting services as well as an indoor pool -- a rare find in London.

For a certain quintessentially English air of prestige without the usual pretention, and a premier location for West End shopping, this is a good place to be.
St. James's Hotel and Club Rating: 5.0 Pearls
Before St. James's was a luxurious boutique hotel, it had a distinguished past as an exclusive Gentlemen's Club. Previously owned by Sirs Michael Caine and Sean Connery -- and frequented by Winston Churchill and Gregory Peck -- this striking building on a quiet cul-de-sac in prestigious Mayfair now houses romantic, lavish accommodations. A multi-million renovation brought in bespoke furnishings, and rooms offer high-tech perks such as free Wi-Fi and iPod docks. Cribs and rollaway beds are available for all rooms types, and families will likely love the special kids' concierge services and the available babysitting services.
