2012 KTM 500 EXC as a Lightweight Dual Sport

It is nice to find like minded riders
I often say there is nothing rarer than an original thought. I knew if I looked long enough I would find someone on the net thinking as I am. I want a truly light weight adventure touring bike. I have narrowed my search down to the 500 EXC. I was thinking about putting soft bags on it and I found this thread. I read the 500 exc? Thread and Harcus and a few others seems to have a lot of great ideas and I am happy to think we are like minded. Thanks for your input. I do have a few questions.
My KTM dealer has two 500 EXC's on the floor. Is the price negotiable or does everyone pay MSRP? What is a good deal? What should I ask for?
Second, does anyone make an integrated, hand gaurd, front turn signal mirror or is this my invention? Back of hand guard is LED turn signal like modern sports bikes have on the back sides of the mirrors. Make the inside of the hand guards out of reflective convex plastic to act as a mirror. My F 150 has a convex plastic mirror on the bottom portion of the side mirrors that work well. Not concerned about how effective the mirror is just trying to check the box for two mirrors for the police man. I am a minimalist at heart. This would clean up the DS parts hanging off my dirt bike. I think one part doing three things is better and saves weight. IMHO Nothing looks worse than turn signals and mirrors hanging off any bike.

The sprocket is holding up well, and seems more durable than the full aluminum sprockets. I am a little concerned about the screws that secure the steel ring to the sprocket, a couple have come loose. I re-tightened them with permanent loctite, but I think Renthal should find a more permanent way to assemble these sprockets.Read All Reviews

The Huron County Health Department wants a new address.
Department administrators would like to place an 0.3-mill levy on the November ballot to raise about $2.8 million to fund its relocation.
"We want to do this because of two reasons," health department Administrator Tim Hollinger said. "It would allow us to move to a new building, and another reason being we need to pass an accreditation for public health."
Hollinger explained that an Ohio accreditation board is being formed. The board will travel to all health departments in Ohio to make sure facilities are up to code.
"We would not pass right now," Hollinger said.
He said there are several reasons why the 50-year-old building at 180 Milan Ave. in Norwalk would not pass inspection. His listed reasons range from the fact that the clinic is not handicap accessible to the fact that it is so small that nearly everyone in the clinic is within earshot of patients discussing health concerns.
At the same time, Hollinger said the need for the health department's services is on the rise. With higher health care costs, the increasing number of uninsured and only a limited number of doctors accepting Medicaid, the department has seen a surge in its client base. It serves about 700 people a month.
"Our clinic used to run two days a week, now we're up to five," Hollinger said, noting the importance of having an outstanding facility.
The proposed new location is on Executive Drive next to Fisher-Titus Medical Center and the Huron County Department of Job and Family Services. It would offer 11,000 square feet, about 4,000 more square feet than the health department occupies now. The extra space could mean the addition of a dental clinic.
"A lot of people in Huron County don't have a dentist," Hollinger said, discussing the possibility of pursuing a dental grant in conjunction with Erie County. "Many of the poor or middle class have nowhere to go."
Hollinger said he has already presented the department's intentions to the Huron County Commissioners. Their approval is needed to forge ahead. The 10-year, nonrenewable levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home about $9.19 annually.
If the proposed levy is passed in November, Hollinger said the department could relocate by spring.

This article discusses how to restore manual password reset functionality for older clients after you upgrade the Groove Enterprise Management Server to version 3.0f or a later version. The article also discusses how to re-implement automatic password reset functionality for current clients if the system is unavailable on the Security Policies page.
In response to customer demand, Enterprise Management Server 3.0f includes automatic password reset functionality as the preferred alternative to the old manual password reset functionality.
When you upgrade Enterprise Management Server to Enterprise Management Server 3.0f, default settings that implement the new automatic password reset functionality are included. In this situation, the old manual password reset functionality becomes unavailable. This upgrade process provides an automatic password reset link only when the following conditions are true:
Note This device setting does not prevent devices that are running Groove 3.0f and later versions of Groove from using the automatic password reset functionality.
To restore the manual password reset functionality, follow these steps:

Made to Resonate
Rapid Prototyping & Design
Great usability extends beyond interface design – it requires the ability to shape and present data in ways that consider an a user's underlying needs and motivations. It's not just the "utility" of a tool, it's the "emotional utility" that creates excitement around a product. Do you have an idea? We can help you build a functional, high-fidelity prototype to test and validate your idea. Contact us at 415-754-8508 to discuss your project.
As our signature approach, we don't ask "what?" We start with "why?". This simple nuance shifts the focus – from building against an product-centered set of technical requirements to focusing on the real needs of a person – your customers. It's in this space of human understanding that we can achieve the highest levels of resonation and delight. It's also in this space we can provide an effective phased strategy, business insights, and tools that help you create "certainty", and buy-in for your ideas.
Give us a chance to discuss our approach with you by calling 415-754-8508 or contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
DB3Innovation is an Atlanta-based design / technology services consultancy specializing in the ideation, design and development of web and mobile products. We're a team of seasoned professionals with the ability to shape products through user-centered, insights-based, and "breakthrough" innovation approaches.
What does this creative mumbo-jumbo mean? In general, we don't work like any traditional digital agency –
First, we tailor our approach to each project to strike a balance between the functional requirements and user-needs research. Second, we host co-design sessions to build business canvases and user-journey maps to validate the idea – leaving you with artifacts that provide clarity to all stakeholders. We then iterate from low to high-fidelity prototypes to ensure our assumptions are correct. Through this process, the "right solution" will reveal itself, at which time we engage our extended team of "finishers" – designers and engineers to finalize the product. While this sounds like an expensive proposition, it's not. Our focus on the "core" experience means that hours aren't wasted over-doing the "context".
Seeking Resonation
We frequently use the term "resonation" to describe the moments when a product makes a person feel smarter or more powerful. It takes a deep exploration into the psyche of the people using the product to understand how to do this. In the past years, we've deep-dived into this topic and it's leading to some incredible insights and methods that combine user-empathy with big data – stay tuned.

do you think would be better? Dear Patrice: Is the CCNA course or MCSE course harder to take? The CCNA requires passing a single, fairly challenging exam; the MCSE requires passing seven exams that range from somewhat challenging to more than fairly challenging (depending on your choices of electives). Thus, I must say that the MCSE is both more difficult and more expensive than the CCNA.
What are the major differences?
A simple, short answer is: CCNA concentrates on Cisco tools and technologies, MCSE concentrates on Microsoft tools and technologies. A more complex answer also takes into account that the Microsoft certs aim more at network and system administrators on a local/site level, while Cisco credentials tend to be infrastructure focused at the enterprise, telco, or ISP level. Take a look at my book "IT Certification Success" for more information on this topic.
And, which one would be better?
That depends on what you like best, what you want to accomplish, and where your career is heading. In terms of employability and pay, the MCSE is superior to the CCNA. But the CCNA can lead to more senior Cisco certifications that reverse the equation entirely. You must weigh their pros and cons and decide which one is best for you.
Good luck,

I installed a Flowmaster 50 SUV muffler on my '07 4Runner (cut gas mileage 1mpg!). The LOUD sound resonating back in the cab was like a sick cow, moaning from both ends at once (YUCK!)! Midas suggested that I try a turn down eshaust tip, but all they had was chrome plated- They said that the exhausst acid would eat it, and recommended stainless. The problem was that that Toyota used a metric diameter pipe tip (about 2 5/8"...), that no bolt on would fit over! Midas welded this tip on, and it matched perfectly! -Another plus is that it flares out to 3", and does not restrict exhaust flow at the bend! Bottom line!- It cut resonating by 70%, and I can live with the noise (now sounds like my neighbors John Deere diesel tractor). Wish I had never installed the Flowmaster muffler!

The installation was fairly simple but you should make sure to "scrub" clean your exhaust pipe and use a metal polish to finish the job before installing the Gibson slash exhaust tip. The exhaust tip I ordered was 12 inches long but it could have been up to 14 or 15 inches long. I would have gladly paid more to get a longer exhaust tip. Very smart looking on my Explorer and it really dresses it up.

I'm looking for a girl that enjoys the simple but good things in life: a day on the water, a hike in the woods or just chilling at home with a junk food feast. I'm a low-key kind of guy. I'm not prone to jealousy. I respect people and choose to trust them unless there's a good reason not to. I'm active and try to stay in shape but I'm not a fitness fanatic. I have my geeky side but you'll have to get to know me to see it! My perfect girl has a beautiful smile and a laid-back personality. I want someone that has a few common interests that she might want to share with me. I'm not looking to jump into something super serious right off the bat. I'd rather find someone that I click with and see where it goes from there.

Ozone alert extended through Saturday
Will be third straight day
An ozone alert has been extended through Saturday for seven Southwestern Indiana counties, including Vanderburgh and Warrick, according to state and local environmental officials.
Concentrations of ozone may reach or exceed a level considered to be unhealthy for sensitive groups.
The Evansville Environmental Protection Agency, Vanderburgh County Health Department and Indiana Department of Environmental Management issued the alert. State officials said the other counties included are Posey, Dubois, Gibson, Knox, and Spencer.
People with heart or lung disease, older adults, and children should reduce prolonged or heavy exertion when outdoors, especially between 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. when ozone levels are highest.
Within a few hours or days, exposure to higher levels of ozone can cause lung and throat irritation, shortness of breath, increase the frequency of asthma attacks and aggravate respiratory diseases such as asthma, emphysema and bronchitis.
The level of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone is set at an eight-hour average of 76 parts per billion (ppb). Eight-hour ozone levels between 76 to 95 ppb are considered unhealthy for sensitive groups.
No open burning is allowed during Ozone Alerts and the use of gas and charcoal grills is permitted, but residents are encouraged to postpone grilling until air quality improves.
People are also encouraged to limit and driving and use public transit; avoid unnecessary vehicle idling and use of drive-through windows; postpone fueling until after 6 p.m.; consider using electric or manually operated lawn equipment and not use gas-powered equipment between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.; limit using solvents, parts cleaning fluids, paint thinners and chemicals, replace lids when finished; postpone painting or use water-based paints instead of oil-based paints.
Levels of fine particulate pollution today and Thursday are expected to be in the moderate range, according to the Vanderburgh County Health Department's air quality forecast.

Hey You Don't Be Shy Come on over !
Wow...about me. Its kinda hard to define how you are in 4000 characters. Its kind of limiting in a way. I am funny, loving, loyal, dependable, honest (abit sometimes blunt). I have climbed out of bed at literally 2 am to help a friend miles away. I believe its NOT the first impression its the 1000th that real determines a person. That's when one's real character will come out. My goal is a long term relationship with that special gal. I am one woman type of guy. I take it day by day of course. I am no rush and want to really get to know the woman I am with. I am a romantic, preferring quiet evenings in but going out is cool too. I grew up in small town in Michigan, Pulled eight years in the US Marines Corps as food service specialist (chief cook) and as a supply clerk. I am honest, loyal and funny.

I will have my physical fitness certification by the end of the year, and looking to start my own business as well. I would like to settle down with that special gal and have a family. As for children, I am open to "her" desires, I think that is a subject that should be discussed in detail before that stork makes a delivery. I will withhold my opinion until that discussion takes place. As you can see I am into weightlifting, I wish to clearify that I am leaning more to the powerlifting side - then the body builder. Liberals, Obama supporters errrr I am not either one, sorry, but I suggest you move on okay? To everyone that stopped by, thank you and I wish you the best in your search for that someone special....

Scientists: iron fertilization could be a big climate help
(07/18/2012) For a long time, oceanic iron fertilization was seen as a promising mechanism to combat global climate change. But then in 2009 a well-publicized study found that iron fertilization stored 80 times less carbon than expected, dampening enthusiasm and support around the geoengineering scheme. Now, however, the idea of fertilizing the ocean with iron may be back: a new study in Nature reports that iron fertilization, in the right conditions, could store carbon in the deep ocean for centuries.
Pictures of the day: sea turtle and whale shark release in China
(07/18/2012) Earlier this month, Sea Turtles 911, a conservation organization in China, released two green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) and a juvenile whale shark (Rhincodon typus) back into the wild.
Brazil cripples illegal gold mining operations in indigenous territory
(07/18/2012) Brazilian police have arrested 26 people and confiscated gold and aircraft in a coordinated effort to tackle illegal gold-mining in the Yanomami Indigenous Reserve, reports the BBC. Along with illegal miners the year-long investigation also arrested complicit airplane pilots, engineers, and business people in a bid to undercut the trade's funders and infrastructure.
First snow leopards collared in Afghanistan as species faces rising threat from climate change
(07/18/2012) Scientists have captured and collared two snow leopards (Panthera uncia), arguably one of the world's most elusive predators, in Afghanistan for the first time. Undertaken by researchers with Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Afghani vets, the successful operation was conducted as a new study finds that snow leopard habitat could shrink by nearly one-third due to anthropogenic climate change in the Himalayas.
Northern Hemisphere experiences warmest June on record
(07/17/2012) The Northern Hemisphere suffered its warmest June on record across land and sea, while globally it was the fourth warmest June yet, according to new data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Over 500 dead penguins wash up in Brazil, cause under investigation
(07/17/2012) In recent weeks, 512 Magellanic penguins (Spheniscus magellanicus) have washed up dead in Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. Although badly composed, researchers do not see any obvious signs why the penguins died, especially in such numbers. Marine biologists are currently performing autopsies on carcasses and hope to determine cause of death within a few weeks.
Animal picture of the day: flamingos take flight in the Bahamas
(07/17/2012) Scientists have banded nearly 200 American flamingos (Phoenicopterus ruber) in the Inagua National Park in the Bahamas in order to monitor the long-term population.
Clever whale shark video goes viral
(07/17/2012) Researchers have a caught a juvenile—though still massive—whale shark on camera sucking fish out of a hole in an Indonesian fishing net. Posted on YouTube.com, the video has gone viral and has been viewed by 1.2 million people to date. The footage was captured during a program to tag 30 whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) in Indonesia's Cendrawasih Bay National Marine Park in order to learn more about the world's largest fish.
Innovative conservation: bandanas to promote new park in the Congo
(07/16/2012) American artist, Roger Peet—a member of the art cooperative, Justseeds, and known for his print images of vanishing species—is headed off to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to help survey a new protected area, Lomami National Park. With him, he'll be bringing 400 bandanas sporting beautifully-crafted images of the park's endangered fauna. Peet hopes the bandanas, which he'll be handing out freely to locals, will not only create support and awareness for the fledgling park, but also help local people recognize threatened species.
Cute animal picture of the day: baby bamboo lemur
(07/16/2012) Greater bamboo lemurs (Prolemur simus) are one of over a hundred lemur species found only on the island of Madagascar. Listed as Critically Endangered, there are only around 500 individuals known in the wild, making them one of the world's most imperiled primate species. A new baby was recently born in captivity in the UK's Port Lympne Wild Animal Park.
'Beautiful' new snake discovered in Cambodia (photo)
(07/16/2012) Scientists have discovered a new snake species in the biodiverse rainforests of the Cardamom Mountains, reports Fauna & Flora International (FFI). The new reddish-hued serpent has been named after its country of origin by native herpetologist Neang Thy: the Cambodian kukri (Oligodon kampucheaensis).
Cute animal picture of the day: spotted hyena cub
(07/15/2012) Spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta) are found across sub-Saharan Africa. Adept hunters, hyenas can also survive by scavenging and opportunism. They form the largest packs of any carnivore, which are run by matriarchs. Although, they resemble dogs, the hyena is actually more closely related to cats and weasels.
Deja vu: U.S. undergoes hottest 12 months on record...again and again
(07/12/2012) According to new data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s National Climatic Data Center, the last twelve months have been the warmest on record for the contiguous United States. This record, set between July 2011 through June 2012, beat the last consecutive twelve month record set only a month earlier between June 2011 and May 2012, which in turn beat the previous record holder, you guessed it: May 2011 through April 2012.
Still time to save most species in the Brazilian Amazon
(07/12/2012) Once habitat is lost or degraded, a species doesn't just wink out of existence: it takes time, often several generations, before a species vanishes for good. A new study in Science investigates this process, called "extinction debt", in the Brazilian Amazon and finds that 80-90 percent of the predicted extinctions of birds, amphibians, and mammals have not yet occurred. But, unless urgent action is taken, the debt will be collected, and these species will vanish for good in the next few decades.
Indigenous tribes end occupation of Belo Monte
(07/12/2012) After occupying the construction site of the massive Belo Monte dam for 21 days, some 300 indigenous people have left and gone home. The representatives from nine Amazonian tribes abandoned their occupation after two days of meeting with the dam's builder, the Norte Energia consortium.
Animal picture of the day: the greater roadrunner
(07/12/2012) Charging at speeds up to 26 miles an hour (42 kilometers), the greater roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) chases down prey like lizards and snakes. It is listed as Least Concern by the IUCN Red List, and is found across the Southwestern U.S. Although the greater roadrunner is capable of flight, it prefers racing along the ground.
Thousands of scientists hold mock funeral in Canada to highlight nation's "death of evidence"
(07/11/2012) Carrying signs that said 'Stop Harper's War on Knowledge' and 'Scientists Shouldn't Wear a Muzzle,' Canada's scientists were unusually theatrical yesterday at a rally against the Canadian government's cuts for basic science funding and environmental protections. Scientists, dressed in white coats, carried a coffin to represent "the death of evidence" in Canada, while a costumed grim-reaper led the way. According to police, around 2,000 joined in the protest.
Climate change increased the probability of Texas drought, African famine, and other extreme weather
(07/11/2012) Climate change is here and its increasing the chances for crazy weather, according to scientists. A prestigious group of climatologists have released a landmark report that makes the dramatic point that climate change is impacting our weather systems—and in turn our food crops, our economies, and even our lives—here-and-now. The new report in the American Meteorological Society is first of what is intended to be an annual offering that will attempt to tease out the connections between climate change and individual extreme weather events, such as heatwaves, droughts and floods.
Cute animal picture of the day: stranded sea lion finds new home
(07/11/2012) A young female California sea lion (Zalophus californianus) , who had stranded herself three times, has found a new home at the Bronx Zoo. After her most recent escapade of showing up at a beachside bar in California, experts decided she was too habituated to humans to re-release back into the ocean for a third time. She was transferred to the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo.
As U.S. sees record heat, extreme weather pummels 4 continents
(07/10/2012) It's not only the U.S. that has experienced record-breaking extreme weather events recently, in the last couple months extreme weather has struck around the world with startling ferocity. In addition to the much-covered heatwaves, wildfires, and droughts in the U.S., killer floods struck India, the worst drought yet recorded plagued South Korea, and massive forest fires swept through Siberia to name just a few.
Pictures of the day: LEGO animals storm Bronx Zoo
(07/10/2012) LEGO animals are debuting next to the real things at the Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo this summer. LEGO artists have created a menagerie of animals including lemurs, a tiger, hornbills, rhinos, gorillas, flamingoes, a giraffe, and a zebra. The exhibition runs until September 3rd. "The safari brings to life the challenges faced by wildlife due to habitat loss and real threats to their survival. The goal of the program is to connect young minds to nature and inspire visitors to help build a future for wildlife," the Bronx Zoo says in a press release.
Meet the world's rarest snake: only 18 left
(07/10/2012) It's slithery, brown, and doesn't mind being picked up: meet the Saint Lucia racer (Liophis ornatus), which holds the dubious honor of being the world's most endangered snake. A five month extensive survey found just 18 animals on a small islet off of the Caribbean Island of Saint Lucia. The snake had once been abundant on Saint Lucia, as well, but was decimated by invasive mongooses. For nearly 40 years the snake was thought to be extinct until in 1973 a single snake was found on the Maria Major Island, a 12-hectare (30 acre) protected islet, a mile off the coast of Saint Lucia (see map below).
2,600 scientists: climate change killing the world's coral reefs
(07/10/2012) In an unprecedented show of concern, 2,600 (and rising) of the world's top marine scientists have released a Consensus Statement on Climate Change and Coral Reefs that raises alarm bells about the state of the world's reefs as they are pummeled by rising temperatures and ocean acidification, both caused by greenhouse gas emissions. The statement was released at the 12th International Coral Reef Symposium.
Google Earth used to discover unknown forest in Angola, scientists find it full of rare birds
(07/09/2012) An expedition, followed up by some computer hunting on Google Earth, has discovered large remnants of old growth forest, including thriving bird communities, in the mountains of Angola. The Namba Mountains in Angola were expected to contain around 100 hectares of forest, but an on-the-ground survey, coupled with online research, has discovered numerous forest fragments totaling around 590 hectares in the remote mountains, boosting the chances for many rare species.
Predicting the distribution of tropical dung beetles
(07/09/2012) Although they live in almost every ecosystem in the world—from your backyard to the Antarctic—scientists know very little about many insect species, including many individual species' distribution. A new study in mongabay.com's open-access journal Tropical Conservation Science attempts to predict the range of 53 dung beetle species in the genus Eurysternus, all of which are found in the American tropics. Dung beetles are hugely important to their environments, since they efficiently devour and recycle waste.
Poaching in the Serengeti linked to poverty, high legal hunting prices
(07/09/2012) In the effort to protect the Serengeti—arguably Africa's most famous ecosystem—one of the major problems is the bushmeat trade. Population growth, little available protein, poverty, and a long-standing history of hunting has led many communities to poach wildlife within Serengeti National Park. Interviewing over a thousand community members in the western Serengeti, scientists found that community members are largely aware that wildlife hunting is illegal and that conservation of wild species is important, but hunt animals anyway partly out of necessity.
Making reforestation work in abandoned pasturelands
(07/09/2012) Tropical reforestation is not easy, especially in abandoned pasturelands. But a new study in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science finds that removing grasses prior to and after planting native tree seeds significantly improves the chances of forests to take root. The study site, located in Mexico's Lacandon rainforest, was covered in an invasive African grass (Cynodon plectostachyus).
Poaching results in elephant gender imbalance in Indian park
(07/09/2012) Scientists have undertaken a new census of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) in India's Biligiri Rangaswamy Temple Tiger Reserve (BRT) following almost 30 years of sustained poaching. Estimating that the park contains four female elephants for every male, the scientists warn in a new study in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science that this gender imbalance threatens the population. Poachers target male Asian elephants for their tusks, generally leaving females untouched.
Critically Endangered capuchins discovered in four new locations
(07/09/2012) The Ecuadorian capuchin, a Critically Endangered subspecies of the white-fronted capuchin (Cebus albifrons), has been discovered in four new locations according to a new study in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science. Found only in Ecuador and northern Peru, the scientists say the monkey may be unique enough to warrant consideration as a distinct species.
Tracking elephants in Cameroon to mitigate conflict with locals
(07/09/2012) Elephant conservation is imperiled by poor spatial planning, according to a new study in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science. Tracking two elephant matriarchs in and around Bénoué National Park in Cameroon, scientists found that the herds spent over half their time outside of the park, highlighting the potential for human-wildlife conflict as elephants are known to raid fields.
Bad science journalism: articles spread misinformation about whale sharks
(07/09/2012) The death of one of the world's largest recorded whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) in the Arabian Sea provoked a sudden global interest in these massive shark. Weighing 14.5 tons, the fish in question made 'whale shark 'whale shark' the number 3 top search in Google Trends on the day the news hit. But, according to a new study in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science, more than half the reports filed by journalists were "factually wrong."
Endangered fruit bats, and many other species, on the menu in the Philippines
(07/09/2012) Bushmeat hunting is well-known to be decimating animal populations in Africa, but has been little studied much of Southeast Asia. However, a new paper in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science shines light on the size and scale of bushmeat poaching in the Philippines. Studying an anonymous community near a national park on the island of Luzon, researchers found that poachers targeted 22 species, ten of which are considered either threatened or near threatened with extinction by the IUCN Red List.
Poacher known as 'Morgan' behind devastating massacre at Okapi Wildlife Reserve
(07/05/2012) Officials have pointed to an infamous elephant poacher known as 'Morgan' as the head of the murderous attack at the Okapi Wildlife Reserve station in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) late last month. The attack by Morgan and his crew left seven people dead, including two wildlife rangers. The poachers also shot dead 13 captive okapis at the headquarters, which were considered ambassadors for the imperiled forest. One okapi remains alive, but injured and conservationists are not optimistic about its survival. UNESCO and the the NGO Fauna and Flora international have issued an emergency appeal to raise $120,000 dollars within two weeks for the victim's families as well as for rapidly rebuilding the station.
Experts dispute recent study that claims little impact by pre-Columbian tribes in Amazon
(07/05/2012) A study last month in the journal Science argued that pre-Columbian peoples had little impact on the western and central Amazon, going against a recently composed picture of the early Amazon inhabited by large, sophisticated populations influencing both the forest and its biodiversity. The new study, based on hundreds of soil samples, theorizes that indigenous populations in much of the Amazon were tiny and always on the move, largely sticking to rivers and practicing marginal agriculture. However, the study raised eyebrows as soon as it was released, including those of notable researchers who openly criticized its methods and pointed out omissions in the paper, such as no mention of hundreds of geoglyphs, manmade earthen structures, found in the region.
Pre-industrial deforestation still warming atmosphere
(07/03/2012) Fossil fuels were not burned in massive quantities prior to the Industrial Revolution, but humans were still pumping carbon into the atmosphere due to land use change, especially deforestation. In fact, a new study in Environmental Research Letters finds that deforestation prior to 1850 is still heating up our atmosphere today.
Indigenous tribes occupy Belo Monte dam for over 10 days
(07/03/2012) As of Tuesday, the occupation of Belo Monte dam by indigenous tribes entered its 13th day. Indigenous people, who have fought the planned Brazilian dam for decades, argue that the massive hydroelectric project on the Xingu River will devastate their way of life. According to a statement from the tribes, 17 indigenous villages from 13 ethnic groups are now represented at the occupation, which has successfully scuttled some work on the dam.
Animal picture of the day: rare image of Asiatic cheetah and cubs
(07/03/2012) The Asiatic cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus venaticus), also known as the Iranian cheetah, is one the world's rarest cat subspecies with somewhere between 70-110 individuals left. No surprisingly it is considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List.
India's Western Ghats rainforest declared UNESCO World Heritage Site
(07/03/2012) India's Western Ghats, considered one of the richest biodiversity hotspots in the world, has been dubbed a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In total, 39 different sites in the tropical rainforest—home to Asian elephants, Bengal tigers, lion-tailed macaques, and thousands of other species—have made it under the listing.
Scientific expedition to survey species in China's Bigfoot territory
(07/02/2012) This month, nearly 40 scientists will enter a wild and remote region of western China, reports China's state media Xinhua. Spending several weeks in Shennongjia Nature Reserve, the researchers hope to study rare species like the golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana), which is listed as Endangered by the IUCN Red List. But the forest is also the source of China's 'wild man' sightings; known locally as the 'Yeren,' the unconfirmed primate has also been dubbed China's Bigfoot.
Cute animal picture of the day: dromedary camel baby
(07/02/2012) The dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius) is the world's largest camel. It's easily recognizable by its single hump.
Scientist: 'no doubt' that climate change is playing a role in U.S. fires
(07/02/2012) A noted climate scientist says there is 'no doubt' that climate change is 'playing a role' in this year's series of record fires in the western U.S. A massive wildfire in Colorado has forced the evacuation of 36,000 people, destroyed over 300 homes, and killed two people. The devastation wrought by the Waldo Canyon Fire even prompted a visit form U.S. President Barack Obama. But this is not the only epic fire in the U.S. this year: less than a month before the Colorado disaster, New Mexico experienced its largest fire on record in Gila Nation Forest; the conflagration burned up 247,000 acres (100,000 hectares). Other major wildfires have occurred in Utah and Wyoming, as well as other parts of New Mexico and Colorado.
Gabon torches their ivory stock as poachers attack okapi reserve
(07/02/2012) Last week, the west African nation of Gabon committed over 1,200 ivory tusks and carvings to the fire. The act, which was meant to send a strong signal to illegal wildlife poachers across Africa, came only a few days after militia poachers stormed the Okapi Wildlife Reserve in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). The assailants killed 13 okapis and six people, including two wildlife rangers, in retaliation for a crackdown against poaching and mining in the protected area. Poaching has reached epidemic levels in Africa due to increasing bushmeat consumption and a rise in East Asian demand for black-market ivory and rhino horns.
Forgotten species: the overlooked Sumatran striped rabbit
(06/28/2012) When you read the words 'Sumatra' and 'Endangered Species' in the same sentence there is a 99 percent chance that you will be reading about one of four animals: orangutans, tigers, elephants, or rhinos. These big four of Sumatra have become the rallying cry to save the island's ever-dwindling forests. This is not surprising, given that these species include some of the world's most publicly beloved animals and, in addition, they are all considered Critically Endangered by the IUCN Red List. But by dominating the headlines in Sumatra's deforestation crisis, these four species often overshadow the thousands of other species found on the island, many of which also face extinction. In fact when you read the words 'Sumatra' and 'Endangered Species' you will almost certainly not be reading about the Sumatran striped rabbit.
96 percent of the world's species remain unevaluated by the Red List
(06/28/2012) Nearly 250 species have been added to the threatened categories—i.e. Vulnerable, Endangered, and Critically Endangered—in this year's update of the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) Red List. The 247 additions—including sixty bird species—pushes the number of threatened species globally perilously close to 20,000. However to date the Red List has only assessed 4 percent of the world's known species; for the other 96 percent, scientists simply don't know how they are faring.
Flouting moratorium, Cambodia approves four land concessions in protected areas
(06/27/2012) A month-and-a-half after Cambodian Prime Minister, Hun Sen, declared a moratorium on on new economic land concessions, the government has announced four new concessions, each located in protected areas. Economic land concessions have come under the microscope in Cambodia after large-scale protests by local people and the recent murder of forest activist Chut Wutty. Critics say the concessions, which last year totaled two million hectares (4.9 million acres) sold off to foreign corporations, have resulted in local land conflict and environmental degradation.
Genetic analysis reveals 79 new species of sharks and rays, many likely endangered
(06/27/2012) Analyzing the DNA sequences of 4,383 specimens of sharks and rays, researchers have discovered 79 potentially new species, raising both the known diversity of this predacious family and concerns that many species are likely more imperiled than thought. Already 32 percent of open ocean sharks and rays are considered threatened with extinction by the IUCN Red List, due largely to overfishing, finning, bycatch, and prey depletion.
Agricultural area larger than Texas has been 'land-grabbed'
(06/26/2012) Compiling over 1,000 foreign land deals from 2000-2010, a new report finds that 702,000 square kilometers (271,043 square miles) of agricultural land worldwide has been sold-off to foreign governments or international corporations, an area larger than Texas. The report by the Worldwatch Institute finds that such land deals, often referred to as "land grabbing," have declined since a peak in 2009, but still remain high.
New Sumatran rhino mama filmed giving birth and nursing
(06/25/2012) On early Saturday morning, scientists were elated when first-time Sumatran rhino mother, Ratu, gave birth to a healthy male calf. The birth was filmed as well footage has been taken of the little tike—with massive eyes—nursing (see videos below). The new calf gives hope to a species on the very brink of extinction.
Cute animal picture of the day: moose twins
(06/25/2012) On May 21st, two Eurasian moose twins (Alces alces) were born at the Zoological Society of London's (ZSL) Whipsnade Zoo. The twins were named Toffee and Caramel.
Lonesome George passes, taking unique subspecies with him
(06/25/2012) Lonesome George, the sole surviving member of the Pinta Island tortoise (Chelonoidis nigra abingdoni), was found dead on Sunday by staff at the Galapagos National Park. With George's passing, the Pinta Island tortoise subspecies officially falls into extinction. First found in 1972, Lonesome George became famous for representing the last of his kind. He was believed to be around 100—middle-aged for a Galapagos tortoise which can live to 200 years old. Staff plan to do an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

A dance studio on West Quincy Avenue is walking through the steps to a rezoning in hopes of continuing to operate in its current location.
True Dance Academy at 8950 W. Quincy Ave., across the street from the federal prison, was granted a "home occupation" exception in 2009 by the Board of Adjustment that permitted the dance lessons if the owner lived on the property. But business owner Shelly Trujillo now is seeking a zoning change, since she has not been living there.
The staging area was packed with warplanes spanning the entire history of winged combat. A World War I-era biplane sat next to a sleek F-16 fighter jet, which shared a hangar with a P-51 Mustang, the classic U.S. World War II fighter plane.
It was an impressive display of military power, even if the planes were only a foot tall.

For the Courier
DENVER — Columbine and Littleton did their part to debunk the myth that running teams can't succeed in a passing environment at last week's Denver Broncos' 7-on-7 high school football tournament.
Scores of rats, mice and geckos — as well as pot plants — were seized at a home in South Jeffco on June 17 after the sheriff's Animal Control unit responded to an anonymous tip about rodents being kept in poor conditions.
A news release from the Sheriff's Office said Animal Control officers went to a home in 3700 block of South Moore Street about 10 a.m. and spoke to the owner, who let them into the garage.

The paper studies a fiscal policy instrument that can reduce fiscal distortions, without affecting revenues, in a politically viable way. The instrument is a private contract (tax buyout), offered by the government to each individual citizen, whereby the citizen can choose to pay a fixed price up front in exchange for a given reduction in her tax rate for a prespecified period of time. We consider a dynamic overlapping-generations economy, calibrated to match several features of the U.S. income and wealth distribution, and show that, under simple pricing, the introduction of the buyout is revenue neutral and at the same time can benefit a significant fraction of the population and lead to sizable increases in labor supply, income, consumption, and welfare.

AOL, a York-based online media company that you've all probably heard of several years ago and don't even hear of now, is on the verge of buying Michael Arrington's TechCrunch. A deal like this with so much media attention might cause it to fall apart, but at the moment I don't deem it very possible. AOL and Arrington are obviously not responding to comment, and the deal has yet to be made official. There's heavy speculation though that it might be at the SF TechCrunch Disrupt going on now and that AOL's CEO Tim Armstrong might make an appearance.
However it may go, congrats to Arrington and his team.
Updated: It's official. AOL's Armstrong has already posted it on TechCrunch, and I give hats off to Arrington and his team. Well done.

Failing to collect data 'devastating impact' on neglect
The Department for Education has admitted that councils need to gather information to spot early signs of neglect, after a report suggested around 60% of local authorities were missing key structures to address the situation.
We agree that councils need to gather information to spot the early signs of neglect, which can have devastating consequences for the most vulnerable.
[We] are overhauling the training and evaluation of social workers to give trainees the expertise they need to tackle neglect. We have also given the NSPCC over £11 million to run a comprehensive 24/7 advice and reporting service for those who have concerns about a child, and are developing training materials with the sector to help improve practice in this area.
Families need help early 'to stop child neglect'
Lack of information gathering is putting children's lives at further risk, the chief executive of Action for Children has said, after a report from the charity suggested that around 60% of councils did not have adequate systems in place to give early warning signs over whether youngsters are being neglected.
This is unacceptable when we know more can be done - we cannot allow the suffering of any child. Neglect can be stopped in its tracks.
Families need help as early as possible so they can make positive changes in their lives, transforming their and their children's stories by being the best parents they can be.
Councils 'unaware' of how many children 'neglected'
Many councils do not know how many children in their area are likely to suffer from neglect, according to a charity.
New research by Action for Children suggests that around 60% of local authorities do not have systems in place to collect information that would give early warning signs that youngsters are being neglected.
Gathering this information can help councils ensure that children and families get help to prevent future problems, the charity said.
Data obtained from 80 English councils through a Freedom of Information request made by Action for Children found 48 (60%) said other than statistics on the number of children known to them through child protection plans, they used no other mechanisms to find out how many youngsters in their area are at risk or experiencing neglect. No London councils were approached as part of the FoI request.
Eight children aged 12 and 13 disqualified from driving
Eight children aged 12 or 13-years-old are among those who are disqualified from driving, according to figures from the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency.
The children are just a few of the 230 people under the age of 17 who are currently disqualified.
The figures were supplied by the following a Freedom of Information Act request made by the Institute of Advanced Motorists.
- They showed that 92,136 people in the UK were disqualified from driving between July 2013 and June 2014
- Of those about 62,000 are still disqualified
- As many as 36,001 of the 92,136 were in the 20-30 age range
- Only 3,874 of the disqualifications involved drivers in their 60s and only 15% involved women motorists

Child maintenance fees 'give stronger incentive to pay'
New child maintenance fees will force parents trying to get out of paying for their youngster to cough up, a work and pensions minister has told Good Morning Britain.
Steve Webb dismissed claims the Government would make money by charging rowing parents for use of the child maintenance service, and said the fees were about "getting people to pay to benefit children".
Minister: Child Support Agency 'not fit for purpose'
The Government is phasing out the Child Support Agency (CSA) as it is "not fit for purpose", Work and Pensions minister Steve Webb has said.
"The old CSA was just not fit for purpose - it spent £503 million in one year to transfer £1.1bn of maintenance and left more than 50% of children living in separated families with no effective financial arrangement in place at all," Mr Webb said.
He said the new Child Maintenance System (CMS) would encourage separated parents to agree together on how to provide for their children.
Under the new regime, parents who fail to come up with an agreement face fees for using the CMS, while there are also charges for absent parents who try to avoid paying maintenance.
£300 fine for late child maintenance payments
Parents who have to be pursued through the courts or have child maintenance payments deducted from their wages will risk a charge of £300 under a new child support system that comes into force today.
Parents will also face fees if they cannot come to an amicable arrangement on supporting their children financially.
The new system means the Child Support Agency (CSA) will be phased out over the next three years and replaced with the Child Maintenance Service (CMS).
Letters have already been sent to 50,000 parents in England, Scotland and Wales earlier this year warning them of the changes.
Parents risk fees if they fail to agree on child support
Separated parents will be hit by charges if they cannot come to an agreement over child support for their children under a new system coming into force today.
Parents who turn to the Child Maintenance Service (CMS) to collect and pay settlements will face hefty fees.
The parent not living full-time with their children will face a 20% surcharge on top of their support payment, while the other parent faces losing 4% of the money they would normally receive.

July is national picnic month, and with 4th of July weekend right around the corner, there is no better time to host a patriotic picnic. Nancy Soriano, editor-in-chief of Country Living magazine, stopped by "Good Morning America" today to offer some tips on how to have an old-fashioned picnic that is easy, affordable and good for the environment.
To plan the perfect patriotic picnic, check out our list of Soriano's tips and suggestions.
Why not throw a little "green" in with your red, white and blue color palette. Consider using environmentally-friendly alternatives to the standard disposable picnic-ware. These items can be reused, recycled, or even things you grab from home.
Table Cloth
Do you have any extra red or white holiday wrapping paper lying around? Wrapping paper makes a great colorful and inexpensive table cloth. It also gives you reason to use that old gift wrap you've been saving since December.
Place Settings
Your tableware can be cheap, chic and easy on the environment. Preserve Tableware is made from recycled plastic, and unlike other plastic utensils, can go in the dishwasher. It's just a little more expensive than normal plastic-ware, but is very environmental-friendly, reusable and recyclable. You can find Preserve Tableware at Whole Foods.
Setting the table for six? It's fun to mismatch a little. Nancy suggests using different colors that still all go together. For another idea and a clever way to separate flatware, try putting each person's utensils in different envelopes. For added decoration, you can use rubber stamps to put people's names on the outside of the envelope. This makes it easy for guests to grab cutlery before sitting down to eat.
For a "green" flatware fix -- don't toss your bottle carrier; instead, reuse it as a caddy for napkins and flatware. You can use the different compartments to hold items, like condiments, and if you're looking for patriotic colors, a six-pack carrier of Coke comes in red and white.
Other On-the-Table Tips
Use leak-resistant paper bowls to hold things, like salsa and dips. Buy them in plaids or a bandana pattern to add both color and practicality to your table.
Cake can serve double duty as a centerpiece and a dessert. For a cake with a hint of patriotism, it's easy to buy a basic white cake at your local market and decorate it in red and blue. Fresh colorful berries or vintage flags add just the right amount of color.
Flowers can also work as a great centerpiece. For an easy, affordable option and a fun project, spray paint empty cans in a pale blue color, and then fill them with red flowers.
Candles add great ambience. For a simple, pretty and safe way to use them outdoors, put your candles in mason jars filled with sand. Solar nylon lanterns are also a "green" way to light up the outdoors. Charge the lanterns outside in the sun all day and they will glow up to six hours at night. To add a little light to your evening picnic, hang the lanterns on the corners of the table.
A Patriotic Touch
This is perfect for your 4th of July picnic. Copy the Constitution, roll it up and secure it with a band. Then pass it out to guests for a party favor they surely won't forget.

Have you ever dreamed of starting your own business? For Cheyne Rood, who grew up in Marcellus and currently lives in Syracuse, that dream became a reality as of November of 2007 when he launched his very own website, www.dustjacketreview.com.
Rood describes Dust Jacket Review (DJR) as "a website where readers can connect with other readers, find great book reviews and excerpts, and express themselves with the books they love."
Rood, 25, after graduating from Marcellus High School in 2000, went on to Colgate University where he originally declared Computer Science as his major, but graduated summa cum laude with a major in Philosophy and History.
Rood said, "Here I am working with computers after all. Maybe I am a more philosophical web designer than most."
I sat down with Cheyne to ask a few questions about how he got his business started:
What lead you to create DJR?
"I couldn't find a place online that featured the things that made me love reading. When I read a great book, it comes to represent something really personal and meaningful. I wanted to build a community where people could talk about books in this light, and connect via the books they read."
How did you create DJR? What steps did you take?
"I first created a countless number of mockups of how I thought the site should look and function. I began reading about starting a web business and looking for a developer who could help make the concept a reality. Meanwhile, I studied to learn various programming and designing methods so I could take an increasingly active role in the development process."
What are the main attractions of DJR?
"We think of books as a great way to get to know someone. One of our main features is Shelf Comments. We challenge our members to boil their reading experiences into 1-2 sentences. Sometimes people remember a book for its place in their life, rather than its content -- the book serves as a memory of travels, loved ones, or a grade school teacher. A single Shelf Comment is interesting. An entire bookshelf worth of Shelf Comments creates a narrative about the personality, experiences, and interests of a person."

Aside from the often complained about naming conventions and arguably lite
software bundle, there were no issues at all with this card from a hardware,
software or performance standpoint. Put simply, this card does exactly what
Gainward claims it will do and then some. It actually goes well above what
Gainward claims it will do and I've seen claims of exceeding 720MHz on the
memory with tools like RivaTuner in other reviews, which I don't doubt after
having worked with this card.
The memory timing differences between the OEM and retail versions of this
card obviously won't be a problem if you buy this from a brick and mortar store.
However, if you order this card online and the memory difference between 3.3ns
(retail) and 3.6(OEM) is important to you then you need to verify what the bar
code is before purchasing.
The following is not related to the card at all, but rather a brief soapbox
speech regarding benchmarking in general. Benchmarks should always be taken with
a grain of salt unless you can verify the specifics (game options, map/level,
AA/AF settings, etc) that so directly affect the end results. Many of the
Ti4800SE reviews that I've read over the past month or so have laughable
benchmarks at best and are just useless without more information. It's by no
means an exact science.
2D quality was always a negative with older GeForce cards and even with GF3
cards. However, my opinion is that nVidia has made big improvements in this
area. I have a Matrox G450 at work and a G400 before that; this 2D quality
difference to this Gainward card is negligable. Neither ATI or nVidia have
likely bested Matrox in 2D quality but this card is such an improvement that I
wouldn't mind using it for day-to-day 2D business applications at all.
Although this is an nVidia enthusiast website I know that I speak not only
for myself but others here that there's no interest in being a "fanboy". Doing
so would be a disservice to you. So, having said that (as I firmly straddle the
fence), here are my closing thoughts.
This card is a very high quality piece of hardware and one that shows a lot
of room for growing with faster processors. My CPU was a considerable bottleneck
in many of these benchmarks. However, since most of you likely don't own the
latest motherboard/CPU on the market, I'm confident that the class of system
these benchmarks were run on will be something you can relate to. I obviously
didn't do any tests to confirm this with say, a P4 3GHz system, so this is of
course just my opinion. If you spend some time reading other similar reviews
based on faster systems though you'll quickly see that this card has plenty of
horses under the hood.
The AGP-8X isn't something I discussed to any degree and as most of you know
it simply doesn't merit much discussion, at least not in the immediate future.
If I get a hold of an AGP-8X motherboard I may update this article if anything
interesting shows up but I won't hold my breath.
As of the writing of this article the card can be found for ~$200. I won't
spend a lot of time drawing comparisons between what options are in that price
range as there are obviously a few out there. Basically though, this card should be a very nice card to have for at
least the next 12-18 months for the majority of games out there (perhaps not so
for Doom3, but only time will tell). If you have a GeForce3 class, Radeon 8500
class card or below then my opinion is that this card is well worth the upgrade. Or, if
you don't currently have a VIVO card then this would be an excellent choice
while providing excellent gaming performance.
This card is extremely overclockable and I never once experienced any
artifacting, crashing or otherwise to suggest that the card couldn't take
whatever I threw at it. It's just rock solid from my experience. It easily beats
a stock Ti4600 in almost every scenario based on benchmark comparisons.
Granted, there really isn't much of anything new with this card. It's
basically a highly overclockable Ti4400 with very fast memory.
It is built on the new NV28 chip set though so one can safely assume that at
least some minor improvements were made from the NV25 chip set. It's a bit
lacking regarding DirectX 9 hardware support but with games just now starting to
really come out with DirectX 8 support you're still ahead of the curve.
I would like to thank
Gainward for providing us with their latest NV28-based graphics card for
this review. My contact at
Gainward was always willing to answer my questions and was patient with the
extended timeframe for this review to be completed.
I would also like to give a special thanks to Brian and Steve for their
feedback on some of the rough drafts of this review and for their insight on
certain topics.
