Shared van from London to the Gatwick express train
During a trip to England, I will visit several places before moving on to London. I wonder if anyone cares to recommend a shared-van company to take me from my hotel to the Gatwick express train station (Victoria ?), as opposed to using the Tube on my own to get there. Thanks.

Thunder Insider: With 16 players signed, Kyle Weaver could be on the outside looking in
It's doubtful, however, that Presti would pull the trigger on any deal involving a player whose contract had more than one year remaining. But teams like Dallas, Denver, Houston, Orlando and the Los Angeles Lakers are all far enough above the luxury tax that they might be willing partners in an attempt to cut costs.
And Presti has a track record of pulling off such deals.
He acquired Eric Maynor from Utah last season by having cap space and being willing to take on Matt Harpring's expiring, insurance-covered contract. Presti gave up only a 2002 draft pick named Peter Fehse who has never played an NBA game. And in 2007, Presti acquired two unprotected first-round draft picks from Phoenix as what amounted to compensation for taking on Kurt Thomas' expiring $8.1 million contract. Presti sent the Suns only a future second-round pick.
We'll soon find out whether Presti has another trick up his sleeve and is able to this time turn a bench player or two into an improbable bargain.

Telemedicine In Schools
Nathalie Dion
Nancy Berardi, R.N., an elementary-school nurse in Rochester, New York, has Ben in her office. The towheaded fifth-grader has arrived with a fever, a cough, and a sore throat. "I just saw your sister yesterday--she has strep, right?" Berardi asks. Ben nods.
Seconds later, Berardi's on the phone with Ben's mom, who's at work. "We'll take a strep culture and have the doctor examine him," she explains, jotting down Ben's health-insurance information. She calls a telemedicine tech, who arrives at the school soon after to swab Ben's throat for a rapid strep test. Five minutes later, the results come back positive. The tech logs Ben's details on a secure server.
"Ready to see the doctor now?" Berardi asks. With a click of the tech's mouse, a physician appears on a monitor.
"So, Ben, I hear you aren't feeling so great," says the doctor.
"Yeah," Ben replies, enthralled by the image on the screen.
The pediatrician goes over the symptoms with Berardi.
"Let's check his ears and lungs," he says, and the tech fastens an electronic otoscope to Ben's ear. An image of his eardrum pops up on the screen. "Looks fine," the doctor says. "Let's check the other ear."
After he determines that neither ear is infected, Berardi places a digital stethoscope on Ben's chest so the doctor can listen to his heart and lungs. The doctor asks Ben to open his mouth so he can see his throat and tonsils. "Purplish-red throat," he says. "It's definitely strep. I'll phone in a prescription." Berardi thanks him and then calls Ben's mom, who will leave work and take her son home.
Thanks to the use of telemedicine, technology that brings the doctor's office to child-care centers and schools, this was another typical day in the nurse's office at Abraham Lincoln School No. 22. "We can often get a child seen by a doctor and treated within an hour," says Berardi. Telemedicine has evolved from chiefly being a way to bring medical care to rural areas with a shortage of primary-care doctors and specialists. Now it's an increasingly popular way to offer care in urban and suburban areas too.
Berardi's school is part of a telemedicine program designed by the University of Rochester Medical Center. Sometimes a provider from the child's own primary-care practice is available to see the child; either way, a report goes out to the child's own pediatrician after the visit. This program, called Health-e-Access, began in 2001 in three child-care centers and is now in all 37 of Rochester's city elementary schools, says director Kenneth McConnochie, M.D., M.P.H., professor of pediatrics. Since the program started, there have been more than 13,000 telemedicine visits and there are at least 24 similar programs across the country, including The Georgia Partnership for TeleHealth and the Arizona Telemedicine Program at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
One big advantage of telemedicine is that kids can be seen right away at school, rather than at an after-hours pediatric clinic or a local E.R. "In one analysis of pediatric emergency-department visits, we found that 40 percent were for nonemergencies such as rashes and other problems that can be diagnosed with telemedicine," says Dr. McConnochie. When telemedicine was offered in child-care facilities and in elementary schools, E.R. visits for these kids dropped by 22 percent.
VaLeesa Rush, of Kansas City, Kansas, used her school's service when her then 6-year-old daughter, MacKayla, developed an ear infection. Within an hour of hearing from the nurse, she was videoconferencing with the doctor at school. "MacKayla gets stressed in doctor's offices," says Rush. "Since she knew the school nurse, she was much more relaxed. It was also a relief not to have to sit in a doctor's office worrying about germs." Windy Garrett, R.N., the nurse at MacKayla's school, says having the trusted figure of a school nurse in the comfort of a familiar setting nearby may also ease parent anxiety. "I can tell by the look on a parent's face when she doesn't understand something," she says. "I'll ask the physician to repeat it, or I'll say to the parent, 'That sounds confusing. Does that make sense to you?' so she can speak up."
Increasingly, schools are also using telemedicine as a way to diagnose and treat mental-health issues like ADHD and autism, says Ryan Spaulding, Ph.D., director of the Center for Telemedicine & Telehealth at the University of Kansas Medical Center, in Kansas City, home of the country's longest-running school program. This is largely because there's a shortage of child psychiatrists, psychologists, and autism-spectrum experts in the United States. "It can be hard for parents to find an expert close enough to them. Often they have to take a day off for psychological testing," explains Dr. Spaulding.

Gear Review
Love the way it feels.
This review might be a bit odd for some people, but I'm guessing some will get it. I don't like the feel of most sleeping bags against my skin. Never been a big fan of nylon. Of course it is what is and I love backpacking. I use this liner even when I don't need extra warmth just cause I love the way it feels. The extra warmth is a very nice bonus. It definitely adds warmth I just don't know how much extra warmth it adds I've never tested one night, one night without.
I can say that right after I bought this I was messing with it in my truck whilest driving. (Ya, I know 10 and 2.) I had it pulled out of the bag and I put hood up over my head. Even though my cab was a comfortable temperature, my head was sweating within about 5 minutes of having wearing it.
I can also add that on my most recent hike I was of course using this liner in my bag. During the night the liner came down around my waist only covering lower section I felt a slight chill around my chest and and arms. I woke up and pulled the liner back up all the way and was back to be being nice and warm in no time.
So in short I'd buy this again. I'm not sure if really gets as many degrees as the advertisement says, but it does get the job done.

Legislative Advocacy and Neuromuscular Disease
Lately, I have become increasingly involved in legislative advocacy. These efforts regularly involve writing to my elected officials to raise awareness regarding issues such as research funding and legislation regarding quality of life issues for those with neuromuscular disease.
Letterbox Hiking
The hobby of letterboxing has been growing. It involves hiking and navigational skills, with the fun of finding a treasure at the end of the hike. Trails can be selected by level of difficulty and wheelchair accessibility, making this a great hobby for individuals with neuromuscular disease.
Like a Flower Grows Volume 3 Launch
Like a Flower Grows, Volume 3 includes devotions about coping with the neuromuscular disease Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT). I hope to educate readers about this little-know hereditary peripheral neuropathy while sharing my spiritual journey and the connection between scripture and everyday life.
Maintaining Self-esteem Despite Differences
Maintaining self-esteem despite the physical disabilities and differences caused by neuromuscular disease can enable one to make a difference in the world.
Managing Caregiving Stress
Caregiving stress should be taken seriously and, left untreated, can lead to caregiver burnout. While the demands of caregiving may lead to stress, recognizing and taking action to manage caregiving stress will benefit the well-being of both the caregiver and the care receiver.
MDA SHOW of STRENGTH 2014
In its 49th year, the 2014 Telethon broadcast will again use MDA SHOW of STRENGTH as its title. This year, the show will run on Sunday, August 31, for two hours from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. ET. The MDA Show of Strength Telethon will run exclusively on the ABC Television Network.
MDA Summer Camps
Without specialized MDA camps, many children with neuromuscular disease might never have the opportunity to attend a summer camp, as most summer camps are not equipped to handle the specialized health needs and appropriate adaptations in activities for a child with neuromuscular disease.
MDA Transitions Center
The Muscular Dystrophy Association Transitions Center focuses on the needs of teens and young adults with neuromuscular disease. Launched in 2011, this site offers support, information, and resources targeting this group while also raising awareness of the challenges this group will experience.
MDA's Art Collection
Through works of art, individuals express their experiences as individuals and as part of humanity. The works displayed in the Muscular Dystrophy Association Art Collection not only showcase the creative abilities of the individual artists but give a voice to those with neuromuscular disease.
MDA's Free Webinar Series
The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) has produced a series of free live and archived educational presentations called the Public Webinar Series. Expert-led topics include a variety of important issues. Make time to attend a high quality educational presentation from your own home.

News about our libraries and our communities.
This week we have added some new material to our collection of local news files, thanks to a random phone call.
There have been many versions, new and old, about how the world will end.
Thousands of books are published every year, and of those, some are judged to be better than the rest in one category or another.
Tuesday morning as East Coast residents woke to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, the pleas were already being made for blood donations, funds donations, and other ways for those of us who can to help our fellow Americans.
With only two weeks to go before the general election on Nov. 6, most voters are already secure in their picks for the main races. But the races at the state and community level may still hold some questions for local voters.
Moby Dick is one of those books you might have been required to read in high school or college, and afterward you scrape yourself off the deck, count yourself lucky to have survived, and like its narrator, Ishmael, you attempt to move on.
This week the library owes a great deal of thanks to a group of volunteers who count for us in very special ways.
Every year the library selects a week to conduct a count of our usage, using this "typical week" as a sort of survey for what our average usage is all year long.
Those of us who love books know the money that can be made from developing the perfect perfume: the one that smells like our first book, our favorite book, or just old books in general.
September is National Library Card Sign Up Month, and in honor of this special occasion, all three branches of the Jasper County Public Library will be celebrating throughout the month by offering a small prize to everyone signing up for their first library card with JCPL.
All year long the library has programs for book lovers of all ages, from infants to seniors. These programs are so ever-present that we just take them for granted. When do you have story time? Oh, there will be a new one any time now.

Second try almost a given
In my experience unless you have followed the prescribed formula the man will find any excuse to fail a first timer no matter how competent the rider. in a lot of cases,but not all it's about knocking you down a peg. In my case I failed my first test despite the objective proof of a 35 year accident free cage record,excellent bike handling skills from 10 years of competitive motocross followed by 20 years as a mountain bike fanatic. I did not take the safety council course and apparently that's a gaurenteed failure. I failed for not cranking my 50 yr old neck a complete 90 deg. At uncontrolled intersections to prove I was indeed scanning for danger and for going slower than the posted limit in a residential area where the speed limit was not clearly posted so I deferred to a cautious playground zone speed.they did not accept any deviations no matter how understandable or justified. Passed it easily once I understood their game.

County backs term limits
Shelby Commissioners also add recall language
Shelby County Commissioners steamrolled through remaining amendments to the county's charter Wednesday, voting to keep the register and clerk elected but, for the first time, limiting those offices and that of the sheriff, assessor and trustee to two four-year terms.
Also a first, commissioners approved a recall provision.
Citizens would be allowed to vote an elected official out of office for any reason if 15 percent of the county's registered voters -- or voters in a particular district, in the case of county commissioners -- sign a petition demanding the action. Elected officials could not be recalled during the first or last 180 days of their terms.
Neither the Memphis nor county charters allows for recall elections, according to county attorney Brian Kuhn, but the Memphis Charter Commission is considering a similar amendment.
"I think the people are so frustrated with government right now that they need a recourse when things are not going the direction they want it to go," said Commissioner Mike Carpenter.
All changes will require approval from county voters in August.
Commissioners have been tasked with amending the charter to clearly define the offices of sheriff, assessor, trustee, register and county clerk as a result of a state Supreme Court ruling. The court found the offices had not been spelled out in the charter that was adopted by voters in 1984.
Last week, the commission voted to keep as elected the countywide offices of sheriff (chief law enforcement officer), trustee (chief tax collector), and assessor (chief property appraiser).
But there was support from Commissioners Deidre Malone, Steve Mulroy and Mike Ritz to turn the register and clerk into appointed positions because of their largely administrative duties.
While the register is the county's chief record keeper of deeds, wills, mortgages and other documents, the clerk has a wide range of duties that include issuing license plates and permits for beer, hunting and fishing.
Yet in a super-majority vote -- requiring at least nine out of 13 votes to pass -- commissioners on Wednesday decided to keep both the register and clerk elected.
Register Tom Leatherwood, who was present for the vote, was relieved.
"I believe the commission showed their faith and confidence in the voters," said Leatherwood, who announced Tuesday his plan to leave the register's office and run for 7th Congressional District.
Commissioners also voted to limit the terms of all five offices to two four-year terms, amending an earlier vote to give the sheriff, trustee and assessor three four-year terms.
Noting the benefits of on-the-job training, the commission originally voted to give the offices three terms apiece. But Mayor AC Wharton argued last week that the officeholders would then have an advantage over the mayor and the county commission, which are each limited to two four-year terms.
With the exception of Commissioners Sidney Chism, Joe Ford and James Harvey, the nine other commissioners present agreed with Wharton, approving two four-year term limits across the board.
"It clearly needs to be the same," Commissioner Deidre Malone said.
Commission Chairman David Lillard said some of the amendments could change as commissioners begin to determine how the issues will be presented on the Aug. 7 ballot.
"These items could be brought back up in the future," Lillard said.
Charter Amendments
Because of a state Supreme Court ruling last year, County Commissioners must amend the duties and selection process of the sheriff, clerk, trustee, register and assessor.
The next charter amendment committee meeting will be at 9 a.m. Friday.
Beginning mid-April, commissioners will begin the first of three readings of a referendum to go before voters Aug. 7.

In the harrowing aftermath of the school shooting in Connecticut, one thought wells in my mind: Why can't we regulate guns as seriously as we do cars?
The fundamental reason kids are dying in massacres like this one is not that we have lunatics or criminals - all countries have them - but that we suffer from a political failure to regulate guns.
Children ages 5 to 14 in the United States are 13 times as likely to be killed with guns as children in other industrialized countries, according to David Hemenway, a public health specialist at Harvard who has written an excellent book on gun violence.
So let's treat firearms rationally as the center of a public health crisis that claims one life every 20 minutes. The U.S. realistically isn't going to ban guns, but we can take steps to reduce the carnage.
American schoolchildren are protected by building codes that govern stairways and windows. School buses must meet safety standards, and the bus drivers have to pass tests. Cafeteria food is regulated for safety. The only things we seem lax about are the things most likely to kill.
We even regulate toy guns, by requiring orange tips - but lawmakers don't have the gumption to stand up to National Rifle Association extremists and regulate real guns as carefully as we do toys. What do we make of the contrast between heroic teachers who stand up to a gunman and craven, feckless politicians who won't stand up to the NRA?
Look, I grew up on an Oregon farm where guns were a part of life; and my dad gave me a .22 rifle for my 12th birthday. I understand: Shooting is fun!
But so is driving, and we accept that we must wear seat belts, use headlights at night and fill out forms to buy a car. Why can't we be equally adult about regulating guns?
The tragedy isn't one school shooting, it's the unceasing toll across our country. More Americans die in gun homicides and suicides in six months than have died in the last 25 years in every terrorist attack and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq combined.
So what can we do? A starting point would be to limit gun purchases to one a month to curb gun traffickers. Likewise, we should restrict the sale of high-capacity magazines so that a shooter can't kill as many people without reloading.
We should impose a universal background check for gun buyers, even with private sales. Let's make serial numbers more difficult to erase, and back California in its effort to require that new handguns imprint a microstamp on each shell so that it can be traced back to a particular gun.
Other countries offer a road map. In Australia in 1996, a mass killing of 35 people galvanized the nation's conservative prime minister to ban certain rapid-fire long guns. The "national firearms agreement," as it was known, led to the buyback of 650,000 guns and to tighter rules for licensing and safe storage of those remaining in public hands.
The law did not end gun ownership in Australia. It reduced the number of firearms in private hands by one-fifth, and they were the kinds most likely to be used in mass shootings.
In the 18 years before the law, Australia suffered 13 mass shootings - but not one in the 14 years after the law took full effect. The murder rate with firearms has dropped by more than 40%, according to data compiled by the Harvard Injury Control Research Center, and the suicide rate with firearms has dropped by more than half.
For that matter, we can look for inspiration at our own history on auto safety. As with guns, some auto deaths are caused by people who break laws or behave irresponsibly. But we don't shrug and say, "Cars don't kill people, drunks do."
Instead, we have required seat belts, air bags, child seats and crash safety standards. We have introduced limited licenses for young drivers and tried to curb the use of mobile phones while driving. All this has reduced the U.S. traffic fatality rate per mile driven by nearly 90% since the 1950s.
Some of you are alive today because of those auto safety regulations. And if we don't treat guns in the same serious way, some of you and some of your children will die because of our failure.

New York City is known for its awe-inspiring sites, historical achievements, and diverse population.
One major milestone in New York City history is the founding of the stock exchange. The world's biggest stock exchange NYSE began in 1792. History reveals that people began trading on 68 Wall Street beneath the shelter of a buttonwood tree. The first listed company was the Bank of New York, created when stockbrokers signed the Buttonwood agreement that decided the trading rules.
Since then, NYSE has a US$16.613 trillion market capitalization. This stock exchange is quite a milestone in New York financial history.

Faiella mantra will be respect
That's going to be JoAnn Faiella's mantra throughout her tenure as mayor, she said Friday.
Faiella, who defeated City Councilman Chris Cooper with more than 55 percent of the vote in Tuesday's election, will be sworn in as mayor Nov. 15 at the Community Center across from City Hall.
A special City Council meeting will follow at 8 p.m. in City Council chambers when a new vice mayor will be appointed and council members will be selected to serve on various boards and committees.
One of the reasons Faiella said she was successful in getting elected is because residents and city employees were fed up with the way they were being treated by city council members and city staff.
Faiella, 47, worked at the city's Police Department for eight years as a records specialist and crime intelligence analyst. She resigned from that job Friday morning.
'Putting people ahead of politics'
Faiella said she's going to be a "people's mayor," one who is caring and communicates.
Faiella, who ran on "putting people ahead of politics" said she's going to be a much different mayor than Patricia Christensen who resigned from office in September after she was arrested on charges of misusing campaign finance money.
"I always had the moral you lead by example, and that's one thing that we lacked," Faiella said. "(Christensen) wasn't available. Half the people that I spoke to said, 'We didn't even know her.' Unless you ran in her circle, she didn't make an effort to meet and communicate with the rest of the residents of Port St. Lucie who voted her in, mind you. And that's the feedback I got from residents.
"The vision of the council is going to change as far as how they treat people. We have to treat people with respect and kindness. We have to keep in mind we don't know what people have gone through before they lash out at the City Council. In my book, customers are always right."
Faiella also feels that's the reason she beat Cooper for the mayor's position.
"What hurt Chris Cooper is his attitude and his arrogance," she said. "And I heard it all over my campaign. Up until the last day he had an attitude. Did he become a seasoned politician? I guess that's what happened to him. We forget why we were put in here."
goals for the future
Faiella said her goals during her initial months in office are to re-examine the budget, work closely with City Manager Jerry Bentrott and get to know city employees.
One of Faiella's campaign promises was to push the city to rehire 24 police officers who were laid off Sept. 24 because of budget cuts. She still plans to pursue it, she said.
"If anybody knows me, and there's a lot of people who know me through the ranks of the Police Department, I'm a fighter, and I fight for what I believe in," she said. "I don't let anybody sway me or turn my head around.
"I don't have to be doing this. I already had a job at the city of Port St. Lucie. I'm doing this for a change because it's due to Port St. Lucie. We've been in such a comfortable mode, and it's time that new visions and new people take over the city of Port St. Lucie."
brooklyn-born and strong-minded
Faiella, born and reared in Brooklyn, has lived in Port St. Lucie for 21 years with her husband, Pat. She has three children and a bachelor of arts degree in business administration and management from the University of Phoenix. With an Italian mother and French father, she's fluent in French, Italian and Spanish.
She's also learning Creole so she can communicate better with the Haitian community, which she said strongly supported her campaign.
Through her leadership, there's going to be more openness at City Hall, she said.
She wants to reassess salaries and positions of upper management and possibly look into putting a cap on certain salaries, and this includes employees in the Police Department, she said. She also wants to look into combining city departments to save money.
"That's one of the things people in my campaign were asking me, 'Why is it the muscle and not the fat' (that always gets cut)? I'm not here to tear anything apart or take anything down or sell anything," she said. "I'm here to re-examine and make what we have more better, efficient and effective for the city of Port St. Lucie.
"I'm very strong minded," Faiella said. "You'll always get transparency and accountability from me. I'm a leader, and I've always been that ever since I was in high school.
"Not everybody is going to like the decisions that I make, but it's making the right decisions for the right reasons. No personal agendas. Not trying to be vindictive. It's doing the right thing for the city of Port St. Lucie because we forget the people are the ones who voted us in, and that's what we need to instill is doing the right thing for the people."

New global carbon map for 2.5 billion ha of forests
(05/31/2011) Tropical forests across Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia stored 247 gigatons of carbon — more than 30 years' worth of current emissions from fossil fuels use — in the early 2000s, according to a comprehensive assessment of the world's carbon stocks. The research, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by an international team of scientists, used data from 4,079 plot sites around the world and satellite-based measurements to estimate that forests store 193 billion tons of carbon in their vegetation and 54 billion tons in their roots structure. The study has produced a carbon map for 2.5 billion ha (6.2 billion acres) of forests.
Destruction of Brazil's most endangered forest, the Mata Atlantica, slows
(05/27/2011) Deforestation of Brazil's most threatened forest ecosystem dropped substantially during the 2008-2010 period according to new data released by Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE) and Fundação SOS Mata Atlântica. Analysis of satellite images across 16 of the 17 states the Atlantic Forest spans found that 312 square kilometers of forest was cleared between 2008 and 2010, down from 1,029 square kilometers between 2005 and 2008. Deforestation was concentrated in the states of Minas Gerais, Bahia, Santa Catarina and Parana.

(05/24/2011) Brazil's environmental enforcement agency busted an illegal logging ring following analysis of satellite imagery, reports Globo.
Brazil confirms big jump in Amazon deforestation
(05/18/2011) New data from the Brazilian government seems to confirm environmentalists' fears that farmers and ranchers are clearing rainforest in anticipation of a weakening of the country's rules governing forest protection. Wednesday, Brazil's National Space Research Agency (INPE) announced a sharp rise in deforestation in March and April relative to the same period last year. INPE's rapid deforestation detection system (DETER) recorded 593 square kilometers of forest clearing during the past two months, a 473 percent increase over the 103.5 sq km chopped down from March-April 2010.
Huge surge in Amazon deforestation
(05/17/2011) Analysis by Imazon, a research institute, has confirmed a huge surge in deforestation in a critical part of the Brazilian Amazon.
Information leak: Amazon deforestation increases sharply while forest code debated
(05/16/2011) Deforestation has increased sharply in Mato Grosso over the past nine months according to information leaked to Folha.com.
Google Earth animation reveals Indonesian forest targeted for destruction by pulp and paper companies
(05/14/2011) A new animation created using Google Earth offers a tour of an area of forest slated for destruction by logging companies. The animation, created by WWF-Indonesia and David Tryse, with technical assistance from Google Earth Outreach, highlights the rainforest of the Bukit Tigapuluh landscape in Sumatra, the only island in the world that is home to Sumatran tigers, elephants, rhinos, and orangutans. All of these species are considered endangered or critically endangered due to habitat destruction or poaching.
Election cycle linked to deforestation rate in Indonesia
(04/14/2011) Increased fragmentation of political jurisdictions and the election cycle contribute to Indonesia's high deforestation rate according to analysis published by researchers at the London School of Economics (LSE), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and South Dakota State University (SDSU). The research confirms the observation that Indonesian politicians in forest-rich districts seem repay their election debts by granting forest concessions.
Amazon deforestation flat since last year
(03/23/2011) Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is roughly flat for the 7 months ended February 28 relative to the same period last year, reports Imazon, a Brazil-based NGO.
Using Google Earth to monitor threats to archeological sites
(03/16/2011) A new alert system uses Google Earth and other satellite-based tools to protect cultural heritage sites from fire, looting, encroachment, destructive tourism, and other threats, says the Global Heritage Fund, the group that launched the initiative.
First large-scale map of oil palm plantations reveals big environmental toll
(03/07/2011) Expansion of industrial oil palm plantations across Malaysia and Indonesia have laid waste to vast areas of forest and peatlands, exacerbating greenhouse gas emissions and putting biodiversity at risk, reports a new satellite-based analysis that maps mature oil palm estates across Peninsular Malaysia, Borneo, and Sumatra.
Indonesian Borneo and Sumatra lose 9% of forest cover in 8 years
(02/25/2011) Kalimantan and Sumatra lost 5.4 million hectares, or 9.2 percent, of their forest cover between 2000/2001 and 2007/2008, reveals a new satellite-based assessment of Indonesian forest cover. The research, led by Mark Broich of South Dakota State University, found that more than 20 percent of forest clearing occurred in areas where conversion was either restricted or prohibited, indicating that during the period, the Indonesian government failed to enforce its forestry laws.
Monitoring deforestation: an interview with Brazilian space researcher Gilberto Camara
(02/08/2011) Perhaps unsurprisingly, the world's best deforestation tracking system is found in the country with the most rainforest: Brazil. Following international outcry over immense forest loss in the 1980s, Brazil in the 1990s set in motion a plan to develop a satellite-based system for tracking changes in forest cover. In 2003 Brazil made the system available to the world via its web site, providing transparency on an issue that was until then seen as a badge of shame by some. Since then Brazil has become recognized as the standard-bearer for deforestation tracking and reporting—no other country offers the kind of data Brazil provides. Space engineer Gilberto Camara has overseen much of INPE's earth sensing work and during his watch, INPE has released several new exciting capabilities.
Burning up biodiversity: forest fires increase in Madagascar
(01/10/2011) The number of fires burning in and around forests in the northeastern part of Madagascar increased during the 2010 burning season relative the the year before, according to analysis of NASA data by WildMadagascar.org / Mongabay.com. The rise in burning corresponds to an especially dry year and continued illegal logging of the region's biologically-rich rainforests.
Satellite data reveals fires in region plagued by illegal logging in Madagascar
(12/27/2010) New satellite data reveals active burning in Sava, a region in Madagascar that has been ravaged by illegal logging for rosewood and other valuable rainforest timber.
Map: 15 million sq km of land suitable for forest restoration
(12/22/2010) 1.5 billion hectares (5.8 million square miles) of land are suitable for forest restoration, according a new analysis by the Global Partnership on Forest Landscape Restoration, a partnership between the World Resources Institute, South Dakota State University, and IUCN.
New data shows REDD+ is succeeding
(12/15/2010) Amid the whirlwind of climate change news before and after the Cancún climate conference, including a landmark agreement on REDD+ (reducing emissions from deforestation, and related pro-forest actions), an important story seems to have passed by with little notice. Over the past two months, several new analyses have given clear evidence that deforestation has gone down over the past several years. In fact, the drop is quite impressive, and shows that of all the approaches to avoiding the worst consequences of global warming, reducing tropical deforestation is the one that has contributed by far the most to date.
NASA image reveals worst drought on record for the Amazon river

2,700 sq km of Brazil's most endangered rainforest destroyed in 8 years
(12/03/2010) 270,000 hectares of the Mata Atlântica, Brazil's most threatened ecosystem, was cleared between 2002 and 2008, reports a new assessment by the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Natural Resources (IBAMA). Less than 8 percent of the Atlantic forest—famed for its biodiversity—remains.
Pulp plantations destroying Sumatra's rainforests
(11/30/2010) Indonesia's push to become the world's largest supplier of palm oil and a major pulp and paper exporter has taken a heavy toll on the rainforests and peatlands of Sumatra, reveals a new assessment of the island's forest cover by WWF. The assessment, based on analysis of satellite imagery, shows Sumatra has lost nearly half of its natural forest cover since 1985. The island's forests were cleared and converted at a rate of 542,000 hectares, or 2.1 percent, per year. More than 80 percent of forest loss occurred in lowland areas, where the most biodiverse and carbon-dense ecosystems are found.
Google Earth now features 3-D trees
(11/29/2010) With world leaders meeting at climate talks in Cancun to discuss the future of forests, Google has added 3D trees to the latest version of Google Earth. Google has populated several major cities with more than 80 million virtual trees based on an automated process that identifies trees in satellite images. The realistic 3D representations are based on actual tree species found in urban areas. But Google has also extended realistic tree coverage to sites in some of the world's most biologically diverse forests.
Belize lost 10,000 ha of forest per year since 1980
(11/07/2010) Forests in Belize have been cleared at a rate of nearly 10,000 hectares per year for the past 30 years, a recent study shows. In 1980, forests covered 79.5% of the land surface of Belize but as of February 2010 it had decreased to 62.7%. The area covered by forests in the country thus went from about 6500 square miles 30 years ago to around 5300 square miles today, losing an area the size of Rhode Island.
Deforestation falls, but rainforest damage surges in Brazil in Sept
(11/06/2010) Despite the worst drought on record in the region, deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon during September fell by 20 percent relative to September 2009, reports Imazon, a research institute that provides monthly updates on forest clearing.
Brazil to launch new deforestation monitoring system that 'sees' through clouds
(10/11/2010) Brazil will launch a new high resolution deforestation monitoring system that will be capable of detecting forest clearing under cloudy conditions.
Free availability of satellite imagery has boosted deforestation monitoring applications, but risk of data gap looms
(09/29/2010) In recent years there has been an explosion in the number of satellite-based monitoring applications and technologies, which is perhaps best exemplified in the eyes of the public by Google Earth, which allows anyone with a decent internet connection to view overhead images of nearly any place on Earth. But these new applications are also helping scientists more effectively monitor environmental change, including the fluctuations in polar sea ice, shifts in oceanic plankton, and deforestation. An important factor in the expanded use of satellite imagery has been the U.S. government's free Landsat Data Distribution Policy, which allows free or inexpensive access to data captured by Landsat satellites, which have been collected data on a regular basis since 1972. But the Landsat program is not presently operating at its full capacity, increasing the risk of a 'data gap' before a new system is in place in 2012.
Google Earth launches ocean layer for iPhone, iPad users
(09/21/2010) Google Earth's ocean layer is now available on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, reports Google in a blog post.
Linking satellite and socio-economic data helps explain deforestation, disease trends
(09/08/2010) To better understand what leads to environmental changes on Earth, Stanford's Eric Lambin combines remote satellite data with on-the- ground conversations with local residents. This in-depth knowledge may lead, for example, to less deforestation.
Peru's rainforest highway triggers surge in deforestation, according to new 3D forest mapping
(09/06/2010) Scientists using a combination of satellite imagery, airborne-laser technology, and ground-based plot surveys to create three-dimensional high resolution carbon maps of the Amazon rainforest have documented a surge in emissions from deforestation and selective logging following the paving of the Trans-Oceanic Highway in Peru. The study, published this week in the early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals that selective logging and other forms of forest degradation in Peru account for nearly a third of emissions compared to deforestation alone.
NASA: surge in Amazon fires
(08/31/2010) The number of fire hotspots has surged in the Bolivian and Brazilian parts of the Amazon, reveals data and imagery from NASA.
Amazon deforestation falls significantly in 2010, according to preliminary data
(08/31/2010) Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is down significantly since last year, according to preliminary estimates released by Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE) and Imazon, a Brazil-based NGO that tracks forest loss and degradation across the Amazon. Analysis of NASA MODIS data by Imazon found some 1,488 square kilometers of forest were cleared during the 12 months ended July 31, 2010, down 16 percent from the same period last year, when 1,766 square kilometers were deforested. Meanwhile analysis by INPE shows an even steeper drop from 4,375 square kilometers in August 2008 through July 2009 to 2,296 square kilometers in the current period, a decline of 48 percent. The discrepancy between INPE's and Imazon's estimates results from differences in how deforestation is tracked.
80% of rainforests could adversely impacted by logging, deforestation, climate change by 2100
(08/05/2010) The world's tropical forests may suffer large-scale degradation and deforestation by the end of the century if current logging and climate change trends persist, finds a new analysis published in Conservation Letters.
The changing nature of illegal logging - and illegal logging investigations - in Brazil's Amazon
(07/08/2010) Operation Jurupari followed on several previous Brazilian Federal Police investigations into SEMA, including: Operation Curupira I (June 2005); Curupira II (August 2005); Mapinguari (2007), Arc of Fire (2008), Termes (April 2008); and Caipora (2008). It was led by Franco Perazzoni, Brazilian Federal Police "Delegado" (or chief), who, since 2006, has headed the environmental crimes unit in Mato Grosso and been responsible for about 300 investigations on environmental crimes, of which about 75% were on illegal deforestation in federal areas. The nature of the illegal deforestation has changed over the years.

New protected areas in Brazil contribute to major drop in Amazon deforestation rate
(06/01/2010) Protected areas in the Brazilian Amazon are proving highly effective in reducing forest loss in Earth's largest rainforest, reports a new study based on analysis of deforestation trends in and around indigenous territories, parks, military holdings, and sustainable use reserves. The research, published in the early edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, finds that 37 percent of the recent decline in deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon can be attributed to newly established protected areas. Brazil designated some 709,000 square kilometers (274,000 sq mi) of Amazon forest — an area larger than the state of Texas — between 2002 and 2009 under its Amazon Protected Areas Program (ARPA). Meanwhile deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell by nearly three-quarters between 2004 and 2009.

Biggest private funder of Amazon conservation teams with Google and scientists to develop earth monitoring platform
(12/18/2009) The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the largest private funder of Amazon rainforest conservation, is playing an unheralded but integral role in the development of the Earth Engine platform, a system that combines the computing power of Google with advanced monitoring and analysis technologies developed by leading environmental scientists. The platform, which was officially unveiled at climate talks in in Copenhagen, promises to enable near real-time monitoring of the world's forests and carbon at high resolution at selected sites before COP-16 in Mexico.
Google's Earth Engine to help tropical countries monitor forests
(12/16/2009) A powerful forest monitoring application unveiled last week by Google will be made freely available to developing countries as a means to build the capacity to quality for compensation under REDD, a proposed climate change mitigation mechanism that would pay tropical countries for protecting forests, according to a senior Google engineer presenting at a side event at COP15 in Copenhagen.

Brazilian tribe owns carbon rights to Amazon rainforest land
(12/09/2009) A rainforest tribe fighting to save their territory from loggers owns the carbon-trading rights to their land, according to a legal opinion released today by Baker & McKenzie, one of the world's largest law firms. The opinion, which was commissioned by Forest Trends, a Washington, D.C.-based forest conservation group, could boost the efforts of indigenous groups seeking compensation for preserving forest on their lands, effectively paving the way for large-scale indigenous-led conservation of the Amazon rainforest. Indigenous people control more than a quarter of the Brazilian Amazon.
Ethnographic maps built using cutting-edge technology may help Amazon tribes win forest carbon payments
(11/29/2009) A new handbook lays out the methodology for cultural mapping, providing indigenous groups with a powerful tool for defending their land and culture, while enabling them to benefit from some 21st century advancements. Cultural mapping may also facilitate indigenous efforts to win recognition and compensation under a proposed scheme to mitigate climate change through forest conservation. The scheme—known as REDD for reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation—will be a central topic of discussion at next month's climate talks in Copenhagen, but concerns remain that it could fail to deliver benefits to forest dwellers.
Google – the new eye in the sky for protecting forests?
(11/22/2009) Google looks set to play a part in a called-for "new environmental world order" by satellite-monitoring the rates of deforestation of tropical rainforests and pinpointing illegal logging and land misuse, Google's Northern and Central Europe head Philipp Schindler has revealed. Schindler made the announcement in London on November 19 at a meeting at St James's Palace hosted by the Prince's Rainforests Project about a new climate change reduction mechanism, REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation). An inter-governmental report produced this month by an Informal Working Group (IWG) for Interim Funding of REDD has outlined an initiative to save the CO2 equivalent of the annual emissions of the US over five years by rewarding developing countries for reducing deforestation, with payments on a performance basis.

Weeknight grilling never got easier than with this ready-in-minutes shrimp and grits recipe. It combines two favorites of the American South - shrimp and grits - with the spicy heat of North Africa. Harissa is to Northern Africa as Tabasco is to many American tables and is used much in the same way - to kick your dish up a notch! It's a beautifully bold condiment consisting of caraway, coriander, cumin, guajillo chiles, smoked paprika, garlic and sometimes salt. If you're looking to add smoky and spice to your dishes then you'll love harissa. Use it on couscous, grilled meats, mixed into soups and stews, or drizzled over plain yogurt for a savory dish. Some varieties are spicier than others, so find a blend that suits your palate. Our favorite is a dry blend from World Spice Merchants that we mix with water and/or olive oil (you can order from them here).
This easy shrimp recipe literally takes just minutes to make. Simply grill shrimp, lightly coat them in harissa and serve over warm grits. Drizzle more harissa over the entire dish and garnish with freshly chopped green onions. You could also use quick cooking polenta. Padrón peppers are in season (small, sweet and typically mild Spanish peppers), so we roasted up a few, sprinkled them with Murray River Flake Salt (or kosher salt) and tossed them on the plate with our shrimp. Get the recipe and instructions below.
Easy Grilled Shrimp with Grits, Harissa, and Padron Peppers
Serves 4
Alternative cooking method: Don't have a barbecue? Simply sauté the shrimp in a pan and skip the grill!
1 pound large shrimp (we used 16/20 count in size), deveined with tails on
Olive oil or cooking spray
3/4 cup quick cooking grits
Water or chicken stock (for cooking grits)3-4 green onions (green part only), sliced on the diagonal
Harissa, store-bought or our favorite blend from World Spice Merchants *See note below.
Optional: padron peppers or any grilled pepper or vegetables
Clean and devein shrimp, leaving the tails on. Place them on a skewer (like below), drizzle with olive oil or cooking spray, and grill until they just turn pink (about 3-5 minutes total depending on size).
Cook grits according to package instructions. Use water or chicken stock for added flavor. While grits are cooking, slice green onions and set aside.
Divide grits among Remove shrimp from skewers and dip in enough harissa to coat. Place on top of each plate of grits. To garnish, drizzle a bit more harissa over each dish and add green onions.
Serve with grilled peppers or vegetables (optional).
*Note: Harissa can come in a paste or in dry form. If using a paste, you may need to thin it a bit with hot water and olive oil to get to a consistency where you can drizzle it. Same with a dry blend, simply use enough liquid to reach a desired consistency.

Re: Everquest 2 ships on November 8th!
From what I gather Graphicmaniac, some are, and some aren't. For example, in the tutorial there's a Captain of the Ship you are on. He's actually Dwight Shultz apparently (guy from the A Team) He's adopted a pirates voice, and it's actually very over the top. ("Arrr, me ol scurvy swab, you best be killin' the rats or you'll be walkin' the plank" type of thing. I saw him speak in a short movie clip and noted he wasn't a very good voice actor - seemed to go from Hobbit to Welsh to Southern English. Might come from the Mel Gibson school of Unconvincing Accents
On the other hand, the Freeport head honcho Lucan D'Lere (voiced by Christopher Lee of LOTR fame) is actually very good imo. Some people have said some of the quest NPC's in the cities call out to you as you run past, and can be annoying when you've heard them x amount of times. I'm not in beta though, just going on what others have said. Not sure if their mouths are synched with what their saying or not though. I can't decide whether the voices add immersion or take away from them.

One thing that I do find refreshing about Mr. Castellini and his reported remarks is that he appears to be a successful individual that follows conservatism in his business dealings and communications.
I think we really can reasonably assume that he is giving Mr. Krivsky the tools to achieve the goals and objectives. It would have been somewhat out of character for him to have made such a remark in earnest or jest publically while at the same time to not afford Mr. Krivsky the necessary tools and resources to achieve Mr. Castellinis spoken aspirations.

I must. I must.
It's OK to dream and hope they get the right players in here. Ain't nothing wrong with that. I admit I do too. But the harsh reality is that throwing money at a player doesn't make them a better player. We could pay Juan Castro $20M a year but it isn't going to make him A-Rod.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
Minimum, this off season I'd like to see a strong pitching coach added (I like Hickey from what I've seen), then two solid starters (one FA, one via trade), one closer candidate, a young MI to pair with Phillips and a strong OF or 1B bat (if Dunn goes in a trade I would need to see at least one more solid bat).
I also wouldn't mind a young catcher (could even be AA/AAA) who is solid defensively and can rake. This one is secondary though.
[EDIT] I would love to find a pitching coach candidate who can not only take solid arms and maintain it, but take guys like Claussen or Ramierez, focus them and get the most from the talent they do have.

What ever players we may be fantasizing about..... 20 other teams are also.
There is only one language that players listen to, and that's $$$$$$$$$$.
This is going to be an interesting off-season because the pitching market is still tighter then a new pair of jeans. Wonder what kind of contracts, like Jeff Weaver and a few others, are going to land?
I still say that it's going to have to be done incrementally (piece by piece) over the next couple of years, as we get out from under bad contracts. I don't think there is going to be any HUGE life changing, BIG NAME, signings in this off-season.
So lets not do anything stupid and give out an more bad contracts till we're our from under these.
But I don't think Kriv will IMO. Just focus on pitching first, and remember Wayne..... no reasonable offer will be refused. Be that used car salesman.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
I know that Cincinnati is not the most desirable place to play with the team in the state it's in right now, and I've often wondered whether this team will EVER be able to acquire a top free-agent pitcher (as opposed to obtaining them via trade or, horror of horrors, the farm system). That is why money can help with the desirable ones, along with more creative incentives. For example, I would pursue Zito, who is a smart guy, by appealing to his sense of humanity, by reminding him that on the big-money teams on the coasts he is just another pitcher, and easily replaced, and if they don't get him they'll get someone else. Whereas he can singlehandedly be a huge difference with this team, take them to new heights in a way that no other single player can, and be a hero in Cincinnati for generations. I would also offer to build him his own power-generated wave lake for surfing and a rack of rare guitars. And I would give him his own newsletter. Then I would bring in a group of small children wearing Reds Zito jerseys and have them serenade him with a Zinzinnnati Zitotastic! song. But I haven't put a lot of thought into this or anything.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
Hasn't Zito said he wants to stay on the west coast though?
Not everyone goes after the almighty dollar. Many players have taken less to either stay someplace or spurned a higher offer to play elsewhere. I believe Greg Maddux turned down the Yankees to go with a lesser offer from the Braves because he didn't want to play in NY. Our main man Jr. could have stayed in SEA for more money or went elsewhere for more money but he decided this is where he wanted to play.
Others want a challenge. Maybe the #3 guy on a pitching staff would rather take less money to be the #1 guy on a staff than stay put for more money. You see a guy like Rich Aurilia. All he wants is a regular job somewhere. If the Reds had told him that he would be the starter at 2nd or SS next year, he would have accepted the option for 2007.
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
This should not come as a shock, really....
I would expect nothing less from Castellini
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
If you want to discount Castellini's plan before it's even been implemented, I guess that's your prerogative. But personally, I have seen nothing from Castellini to make me assume he's going to renege on his promise.
And hearing the above quote has me very, very excited about this postseason and the coming years.
Of course, that probably doesn't make me very cool or witty.

I liked the spinach maultaschen at the beer garden. The location at the old town Bad Wimpfen is also great.
We tried Maltaschen , a local Swabian Delicacy , similar to a lasagne but with a much cleaner taste. The food and local red wine were excellent and our great night was sealed when we shared our table with two local ladies and their young daughters . The young girls were just starting to learning english at school so there...
My maultaschen with spinach sauce was wonderful--and not just because I had a cup of gluhwein!
It was hot, perfectly seasoned, and almost too much for one person. The dining room is off to the side of the bar. It was too chilly to eat in the garden at the back. I real "local" kind of place!
