On Sunday the Chicago Blackhawks recorded their highest-rated regular season game in Comcast SportsNet Chicago history with a 6.31 HH rating. The NHL on CSN continues its strong start as both the Philadelphia Flyers and Blackhawks were both ranked #1 for the time period in key male demos. So much for the so-called NHL lockout backlash. Like Rihanna going back to Chris Brown, who battered her, hockey fans are very quick to forgive and forget. You heard a lot of tough talk from fans during the lockout about never going back again. Guess it was all just bluster. For last night's 2-1 OT victory by the 6-0-0 Blackhawks over the hated rival Detroit Red Wings, Comcast SportsNet attracted approximately 220,000 households for the entire game and posted an 8.09 "peak" rating during the 8:15 PM quarter-hour (approx. 282,000 households). The 6.31 single game regular season ratings record on Comcast SportsNet shatters the previous record set just five days earlier on January 22 for the Blackhaw...

NHL Picks: Washington Capitals @ Philadelphia Flyers 10/20/11
- Updated: October 19, 2011
Both the Philadelphia Flyers and the Washington Capitals have underachieved over the course of the past few years in the playoffs, but these two are going to hope to continue in the right direction on Thursday night in NHL betting action early in the season.
Washington still hasn't been beaten this year, and it really feels like it is just getting better and better with every passing games. The Capitals have scored at least three goals in all but one of their games this year, and as a result, they have the maximum 10 points and have only conceded a total of three points. The most recent game against the Florida Panthers was probably the most impressive all around performance of the year, as Tommy Vokoun was able to shut out his old team without any real problems. We're still waiting to see when Alexander Ovechkin is going to show up. Ovie only has one goal and two assists on the year, which is a far cry from what we have come to expect from a man who feels like he can go off for 150 points in any given season. That being said, Nicklas Backstrom has six points and Alexander Semin has five, and as long as these types of players are stepping up to the plate and carrying the offense, Ovechkin's prowess is just an added bonus.
The Flyers' only setback was a 3-2 overtime loss at home against the Los Angeles Kings last week. Aside from that though, this offense has been tearing things up, averaging a league best 3.8 goals per game. Philly has only averaged 29.8 shots per game this year, which is something that we know is going to improve as the year progresses. Claude Giroux has seven points on the season to lead the team, and he is clearly making up for the fact that this team has had a bit of a shift in its mindset from years past. Of course, adding Ilya Bryzgalov has changed some things as well. The former Phoenix Coyote has a 1.99 GAA this year, and he already has three wins for his new team. There is no doubt who is going to be in net in the average night anymore, and there is also going to be no short hook and immediate booing when things start to go wrong. As a result, we're going to see a lot more results like the 7-2 beating of the Ottawa Senators on the road on Tuesday, and a lot fewer of the frustrating results like we saw throughout the Eastern Conference Semifinals last year.
Washington Capitals @ Philadelphia Flyers Pick: This is the type of game that the Flyers need to win to keep their mojo going. If they are going to win the Eastern Conference, this is the team that they need to get past, and we think that Philadelphia will send a real message to the rest of the East and the rest of the NHL by taking down the Caps.
NHL Pick: Philadelphia Flyers

"Products that are certified for IHE USA interoperability bring tremendous value to the entire healthcare ecosystem," said Joyce Sensmeier, president of IHE USA and vice president of informatics at HIMSS. "As an industry, we need to set a high bar if we are to rise to the challenge of transforming our healthcare system. For the health IT vendors that have achieved IHE USA certification, this means their integration capabilities go beyond minimum federal requirements to deliver more robust, high-quality, standards-based products."
The IHE USA Certification Program aims to expand beyond traditional electronic health record systems to include domains such as patient-care devices, lab, radiology, cardiology, dentistry and eye care.
"IHE USA Certified products benefit purchasers, system developers and, ultimately, patients," said Amit Trivedi, healthcare program manager at ICSA Labs. "There is a dizzying array of products and systems to choose from, and IHE USA Certification by ICSA Labs can be a differentiating factor to make a more informed decision when selecting the right health IT product to implement."
The certification program will expand by utilizing virtual testing events this fall, leading up to the 2014 IHE North American Connectathon to be held Jan. 27-31 in Chicago.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY – translationbooth.com
Translationbooth.com is a site for translating text at the click of a button. Because at this time of year's it's good to be able to say Heldig Jul, Hamingjusamur Jól or Alegre Natal. If you know people in Denmark, Iceland or Portugal, that is. The free service (which I have used here, so apologies to anybody whose mother tongue I have abused above) offers quick, machine-generated translations. For a fee you can have a human do it properly.
Typing in a few words for a bit of a laugh is not really the purpose of this venture though, as it's primarily aimed at those needing proper translations for business purposes. Complete files can be uploaded and then will be translated by a professional. Turnaround varies depending on the length and complexity of the original document and of course the chosen language, but it really is a slick and, for the most part, affordable service. The range of languages is quite staggering too.

Mark Kermode - Lost the plot
Film - Poor Bruce Willis - again forced to fight bad guys with bad hair. By Mark Kermode
Film - Poor Bruce Willis - again forced to fight bad guys with bad hair. By Mark Kermode
by Mark Kermode Published
How do you solve a problem like Bruce Willis? On the one hand, he's the barrel-chested, bullet-headed, no-nonsense action hero who takes out the trash in wise-cracking skull-thwackers such as Die Hard (and its ongoing sequels) and The Last Boy Scout. On the other hand, he's the surprisingly sensitive Hollywood star whose money-spinning presence has helped promote such admirably intelligent fare as Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys and M Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense.
Occasionally a movie comes along that allows Willis to be both smart and violent, such as Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, in which he played a boxer who wields a punch, a chainsaw and a samurai sword with arch postmodern irony. But more often than not, Willis has had to choose between flexing his muscles and exercising his grey matter. Ask critics to name their favourite Willis film and they may well pick Alan Rudolph's Mortal Thoughts, a brilliant but sadly little-seen thriller in which Willis excelled as a resolutely unheroic abusive spouse. But ask a multiplex audience which new Bruce movie they're most looking forward to and chances are it'll be the forthcoming Die Hard 4.0, the prospect of which bespeaks a growing desperation for another sure-fire, no-brain, bankable hit.
All of which brings us to Hostage, a nasty, manipulative thriller that dearly wants to assert its offbeat, upmarket credentials (hey, the director's French!) even as it beats the audience about the head with gormless, explosive action. Willis stars as a top-flight LAPD hostage negotiator (stop sniggering at the back), Jeff Talley, whose winning streak ends in the film's opening moments when he makes a bad call on some off-the-peg crazy, with blood-splattered results.
Stricken with guilt, Talley shaves his head, hangs up his scruffy duds, and skulks off to become a uniformed police chief in the quiet backwater of Bristo Camino. Here, every day is a "low-crime Monday" - until three adolescent mongrels break into a house in an affluent neighbourhood, shoot a cop and hold hostage a family whose dad just happens to be an accountant for the Mob. To complicate matters, Talley's own family are kidnapped by said Mob, who want him to play this one according to their rules. Et voila! We have the Big Moral Dilemma that is summed up in the film's provocative tag line: "Would you sacrifice another family to save your own?"
According to the film's director, Florent Siri, whose impressive Euro-thriller Nid de guepes/The Nest brought him international attention, Hostage is "a psychological thriller about redemption" that owes a stylistic debt to the conventions of film noir. This sounds promising, but sadly it is utter bunk. In spite of the labyrinthine convolutions of its preposterous plot (clumsily adapted from a novel by Robert Crais), Hostage is a lame-brained cross between Die Hard (1 and 2) and The Negotiator, with Willis once again forced to sort out his family problems at the same time as dealing with armed hostage-takers with bad haircuts.
So whereas, in Die Hard, it was Willis who got to crawl around in air vents while maintaining radio contact with a knackered old cop on the outside, this time it's little Jimmy Bennett who does the crawling while world-weary Bruce wheezes away encouragingly on the cellphone. But when the shit comes down, it's left to Willis to strip off his shirt and do all the shooting and shouting stuff - though it's with a look of grim regret rather than the macho pout of yore. Hell, he even gets to cry, albeit briefly, presumably as proof of the film's character-led credentials.
There is something very dispiriting about a glossy, big-budget Hollywood thriller relying so heavily on the exploitative spectacle of suffering loved ones (bloodstained sons, shackled wives, abused daughters) to court our attentions. The bad guys are either drug-addled dope-heads or balaclava'd Mafiosi, all of whom appear to have escaped from some dreadful TV crime soap. As for Willis, the parameters of his "moral dilemma" are expressed in a succession of nostril-flaring looks that range from a moderate scowl (signifying every- day melancholy) through a slightly more pinched scowl (troubled and/or conflicted) to a full-on eye-bulging scowl (angry, but also troubled and conflicted, and probably a bit melancholy), with an open-mouthed howl thrown in for variety when blowing things up or weeping uncontrollably.
Siri shoots everything in those cod-sepia tones that pass for profundity in the world of pop promos, and lays on a thundering semaphore score that ensures we don't miss any of the Big Moral Dilemmas or Heartbreaking Emotional Conflicts. Only Kevin Pollak emerges unscathed, essaying a slimy supporting cameo as the family man laundering filthy lucre before getting bashed in the head and spending the remainder of the movie in a coma. If only the rest of us had been so lucky.

Staring my journey back home tonight and then all that's left is to continue the life I've been living, which, considering all circumstances, ain't all that bad, now that I really think about. Part of me misses the work, but a very large part of me thinks that I should just stay here.

I read the "OKAY DAZ SERIOUSLY whats going on." thread by kodiak.
Most seem to have realized DAZ is not going to do anything with CARRARA. This breaks my heart! I really love Carrara even with it's flaws.
But the writing's on the wall and more people in the forum have come to realize if they wish to grow and evolve in the 3D world they should invest in another/new modeling/animation program.
AS I read on KODIAKs thread they were talking about C4D and Blender and Lightwave.. I bought the full-bore version of Lightwave 8 years ago and hated using it.
Also in this thread I did not see one person suggest MAYA?
I am leaning twards MAYA.
ANY thoughts on this.
I will have about 2 grand to buy a new application the first of the year and don't wish to waste that money and decades using another 3D Program that will just be put to sleep sloooooowly over the years until its dead.

taking a chance
As with you, there's more to me than this profile will tell...I could try and give you a glimpse of me with only the good or exciting parts included and all the rough edges sanded down but I'm not going to. In "me" there is a piece of every place I've travelled to or avoided; every person I ever met, loved, fought with, slept with, cried with, laughed with; every event (the good and the bad) that took place in my life so far; every emotion I have ever felt. I'm honest, brutally honest sometimes as my dear friend pointed out, I expect nothing less from you. Not sure what I expect from Match though. I'm really just taking a chance and seeing what it's all about. At the very least, there are sure to be some good friends and fun times out of it. If anything in my profile intrigues you, feel free to send me a message and say hi.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Travel/Sightseeing
Dancing, Running, Walking / Hiking, Yoga
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs
I love animals. I personally feel they deserve more space, exercise and attention that I can offer right now but I have had a cat, bird, fish and hamsters in the past, not all at once. :)
At times a creature of habit, at others I'm an explorer. I am happy hanging out in my neighborhood bar or hopping on a plane to visit a new city. I have a strong need to travel, even if it's only for a few days at a time.
Travelling, my family, photography, chocolate, being outside in the pouring rain, trying new foods, being near the ocean, wine, old friends, Bikram Yoga, my Windows phone, local pubs, all sorts of music, Pier 1 Imports, cilantro, life.
My free time is often spent in the company of friends. I enjoy sharing conversation over a meal or a few drinks. If I find myself without errands to run, I might spend a day wandering the city; playing "tourist" in my own home is something I enjoy.
I recently finished Dan Brown's Inferno and Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner. I go through phases with reading. I'm on my third book in a month but didn't read anything for a few months prior.

Review: Smartphones and Beyond
Guest writer David Addington brings us a detailed review of one of the landmark texts in the smartphone industry and a superbly detailed history of Symbian itself. Read the review and then grab the (e)book!
Guest writer David Addington brings us a detailed review of one of the landmark texts in the smartphone industry and a superbly detailed history of Symbian itself. Read the review and then grab the (e)book!
After reviewing quite a number of emergency power banks on these sites, most of which have been quite impressive, I think we have a brand new winner. In terms of build quality, output, capacity and sheer value, the Omaker Premium 15600 wins out over the rest of the competition by a clear margin. As you'll see from my illustrated review below, testing the Omaker with Symbian and Windows Phone smartphones, plus an iPad or two...
Another in Lumsing's excellent series of 'Power Banks', the 6000mAh model here is distinguished from its larger 10400mAh sister by being dramatically slimmer and almost all metal. As a result, the price-per-milliAmp-hour is higher, but I don't care - the 6000 is a "man's" charger - a veritable mobile power tool and yes, you can knock nails in with it. Probably.
Originally an Indiegogo project, Shoulderpod has just released its first product, the S1, and I've been testing it with my Nokia 808 and Lumia 1020. It's a combined stabiliser/grip/mount - it's fabulously constructed and it works really well. Here's to better smartphone-shot video (and, of course, you might find my tutorial helpful!)
The concept of a portable power bank/emergency charger isn't new, of course, especially in these days of smartphones with sealed batteries, for which the only emergency option is usually to plug something in via microUSB. The Lumsing 10400mAh option is new and reviewed here - build quality is excellent and - I contend - the value for money utterly unrivalled.
Regular readers will know that I'm a big fan of the Proporta emergency chargers, from the tiny credit card sized Pocket Power to the mighty Turbocharger 7000. But, of course, there are many other brands on the market, especially at the higher capacity end of the market. Which is why I've been taking a look here at the new 'Kinkoo Infinite One 8000mAh Portable Backup Battery Charger'. In white. And yes, the colour matters, as I shall explain!
The world of accessories fascinates everyone, of course, the drive to make everything smaller and smaller, yet still doing the same job. In this case, the ChargeKey microUSB, a full data and charging cable (i.e. all pins are connected through) that cuts bulk to the nth degree and fits nicely on a key ring. It's even shaped like a key and is a really neat accessory, albeit a little pricey.
We've seen large portable USB chargers (e.g. the Turbocharger 7000), we've seen small all-wireless chargers (the Nokia DC-50), but the Mugenizer N11 seems to offer a feature set that's a very useful compromise. With 4800mAh capacity and both USB and Qi charging output, could the N11 really be the all-purpose mobile charger than many have been waiting for?
Somewhat eyeing up the OIS in the cameras of many of the Nokia Lumia smartphones, guest writer Keir Brython got to wondering how he could stabilise photos for extreme low light shots on his Symbian-running Nokia N8 and 808 PureView. His ponderings led him to the two titled Joby tripod mounts and his full illustrated review is below.
Transparent, waterproof pouches that enable us to use our tech in the pouring rain, down the beach or even, in extreme cases, underwater, have been around for a while, of course, I looked at Proporta's Beach Buoy last year. And now we have E-Case's eSeries 9, with smaller overall form factor and higher window-to-bezel ratio. Here's the eSeries 9 submersible case in action with a couple of likely candidate handsets. Summary? We have a winner...

Thoughts about setup and deployment issues, WiX, XNA, the .NET Framework and Visual Studio
All postings are provided AS IS

I learned a cool trick last week that might be useful if you are running into issues while using the built-in Sonic CD/DVD burning software in Media Center 2005. The following steps will enable creation of a log file for debugging purposes:
Once you have created this file, any subsequent times that you use Sonic burning functionality inside of Media Center, it will write to this file. This file has to already exist before Sonic will write to it however, so it will not log any error information until you manually go and create a new file with the expected name in this location.
If you run into any issues with CD/DVD burning, please create this log file and include it when contacting me or your customer support representative. I'd also encourage you to open up the log file and take a look at it yourself as well. There are some errors that have relatively simple workarounds that can be determined simply by looking at the error log information.
Hope this helps....
I have a similar issue - although frustratingly the program seems to get to ~77% before posting the same 'Create failure' error (an error has occured in creating the CD/DVD). Mine is a brand new machine with Roll-Up 2 installed and current drivers. I created a log file which is attached. Hope you can shed some like on this problem. Thanks & Happy NY.

Hi Alkeith - I'm not familiar with this type of error. Did you edit the DVR-MS file at all before trying to burn it to DVD? I have heard of some problems with burning DVR-MS files that have been edited (to remove commercials or for other reasons). If that is the case, you may want to try to burn this file to a video DVD using some other DVD burning software.
If that is not the case, it might help to uninstall and re-install the Sonic Encoders software on your system or repair the Sonic Windows components.
Not sure if this thread is still checked but I'm yanking my hair out trying to get my recorded TV burned to DVD. It used to work until about 3 months ago. I think these are the pertinent lines from the SonicLog_mce.log file. Please help if you can.

Hi Ronjako - I can't tell for sure from this log snippet what the problem might be. It could help to uninstall and re-install the Sonic components on your system to try to repair this issue. It might also help to post a question on the Microsoft.Public.Windows.MediaCenter newsgroup to see if anyone there has any additional suggestions.

Can we save the Sumatran rhino? Indonesia holds out hope
(06/19/2015) 'One percent of the world's population,' veterinarian Zulfi Arsan says as he nods towards Bina, a 714-kilogram, 30-year-old female Sumatran rhinoceros leisurely crunching branches whole. A gentle and easygoing rhino, pink-hued Bina doesn't seem to mind the two-legged hominids snapping pictures and awing at her every move at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary.
Halloween in the Amazon: baby bird dresses up like killer caterpillar
(03/23/2015) 'Mama, I wanna be a toxic caterpillar,' says the little bird. 'Okay,' mamma answers, 'but first you gotta study your Batesian mimicry.' Meet the cinereous mourner, an ash-colored, Amazonian bird that looks rather hum-drum compared to many other birds found in the region. Yet, scientists have discovered something special about the birds: its newborn babies look and move like a neon orange, toxic caterpillar.
Genetics study sheds light on Chile's most endangered bird
(12/22/2014) A member of the Furnariidae family, the small brown and beige bird possesses rusty "spine-like" tail feathers and inhabits densely vegetated areas. Scientists estimate the total population to range from 140 to 500 individuals. In 2012 the IUCN declared the Masafuera Rayadito to be a Critically Endangered species.
Lizard see, lizard do: scientists discover surprising behavior in reptiles
(12/10/2014) Imitation can be obnoxious. For those with siblings, imitating your brother's or sister's every word was a surefire way to steadily drive them toward insanity. Annoying it may be, imitation is also special; it's a behavior long regarded to be uniquely human. The skill of imitation is a little less exclusive now, as reptiles join the ranks of creatures capable of the social feat. Researchers from the United Kingdom and Austria recently demonstrated that one lizard, the bearded dragon (Pogona vitticeps), can learn through imitation.
One-two punch: farming, global warming destroying unique East African forests
(12/03/2014) Lush mountains speckle East Africa's grasslands and desert, from Mozambique to Ethiopia. These isolated habitats are home to a plethora of species, and are considered by scientists to be some of the most biodiverse regions in the world. However, their forests are being cut down for farmland and are threatened by global warming, putting at risk multitudes of species that have nowhere else to go.
New birds arise due to emigration not separation
(11/11/2014) A bird's eye view of speciation in the Neotropics. How long does it take for a new species to develop? Not long, it turns out. In fact, only a few thousand years — an evolutionary blink of an eye. A recent article published in Nature tracked neotropical bird speciation, or the process by which new species emerge.
Jane Goodall joins mongabay
(10/13/2014) Famed primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall—whose image is known the world over—has joined the advisory board of mongabay.org. This is the non-profit branch of mongabay.com, an environmental and science website with a special focus on tropical forests. Goodall first came to global prominence at the age of 26 when she set off to Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania to study chimpanzee behavior.
Outcompeted: Species competition may result in geographic isolation
(10/03/2014) Scientists have long believed that gene flow and species dispersal is only interrupted by physical barriers, like mountain ranges, rivers or even the complete disappearance of a suitable habitat. But new research into the distribution of two mouse opossum species in South America suggests that other factors may play a role as well, such as competition and predation.
Did the world's only venomous primate evolve to mimic the cobra?
(09/29/2014) The bite of a slow loris can be painful, and sometimes even lethal. After all, this cute-looking YouTube sensation is the only known 'venomous' primate in the world—a trait that might have strangely evolved to mimic spectacled cobras, according to a recent paper. Mimicry in mammals is rare. But anecdotal evidence and studies in the past have noted the uncanny cobra-like defensive postures, sounds, and gait in slow lorises.
Bizarre lizard newest victim of reptile pet trade
(09/15/2014) If you've never heard of the earless monitor lizard, you're not alone: this cryptic lizard has long-escaped the attention of the larger public. But over the past couple years its bizarre appearance has been splashed across social media sites for reptile collectors. While this decidedly-quirky attention may seem benign, it could actually threaten the species' existence.
Titanium vs. Millipedes: new species discovered in Madagascar threatened by mining
(08/13/2014) A team of scientists from the United States and Germany has recently described seven new species of Malagasy giant pill-millipede. All but one of these species are considered "microendemics," in that they have only been found in small, isolated forest patches.
Forgotten species: the exotic squirrel with a super tail
(08/13/2014) With among the world's largest tails compared to body-size, the tufted ground squirrel just might be the most exotic squirrel species on the planet. Found only on the island of Borneo, this threatened species is also surrounded by wild tales, including the tenacity to take down a deer for dinner. New research explores the squirrel's monster tail and whether other tales about it may be true.
They think, therefore they spread: plants can make complex conditional decisions
(07/07/2014) Strong memory, being able to predict the future, and acting based on one's surroundings are traits typically associated only with the most advanced types of animals. However, a team of German and Dutch scientists from the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research (UFZ) and the University of Göttingen found ecological evidence that plants also have these abilities.
Super cute, but tiny, elephant-relative discovered in Namibia
(06/30/2014) Forget marsupials, the world's strangest group of mammals are actually those in the Afrotheria order. This superorder of mammals contains a motley crew that at first glance seems to have nothing in common: from elephants to rodent-sized sengi. Last week, scientists announced the newest, and arguably cutest, member of Atrotheria: the Etendeka round-eared sengi.
Scientists discover carnivorous water rat in Indonesia, good example of convergent evolution
(06/19/2014) Researchers have discovered a new carnivorous water rat on the island of Sulawesi that's so unique it represents an entirely new genus. They believe many more new rodent species await discovery in this relatively undisturbed part of Indonesia, but mining and other types of development may threaten vital habitat before it's even surveyed.
Scientists uncover new marine mammal genus, represented by single endangered species
(05/14/2014) This is the story of three seals: the Caribbean, the Hawaiian, and the Mediterranean monk seals. Once numbering in the hundreds of thousands, the Caribbean monk seal was a hugely abundant marine mammal found across the Caribbean, and even recorded by Christopher Columbus during his second voyage, whose men killed several for food.
Giant ibis, little dodo, and the kakapo: meet the 100 weirdest and most endangered birds
(04/10/2014) The comic dodo, the stately great auk, the passenger pigeon blotting out the skies: human kind has wiped out nearly 200 species of birds in the last five hundred years. Now, if we don't act soon we'll add many new ones to the list: birds such as the giant ibis, the plains-wanderer, and the crow honeyeater. And these are just a few of the species that appear today on the long-awaited EDGE list.
Wonderful Creatures: life is a gamble (inside a caterpillar) for the trigonalid wasp
(03/27/2014) Among the huge diversity of insects there are some bewilderingly complex life cycles, but few can compete with the trigonalid wasps for the seemingly haphazard way they ensure their genes are passed to the next generation. In most cases, a female parasitoid wasp deposits her eggs on or in the host, but this is far too pedestrian and safe for the trigonalids. These mavericks of the wasp world, which are also parasitoids, like to make things more difficult for themselves.
Sloths, moths and algae: a surprising partnership sheds light on a mystery
(03/22/2014) While it spends the majority of its time in the safety of tree canopies, the three-toed sloth regularly places itself in mortal danger by descending to the forest floor to defecate. For years, scientists have been trying to figure out what is driving this peculiar and risky behavior. Now, Jonathan Pauli from the University of Wisconsin-Madison believes his team of researchers has found an important clue to this mystery involving an unusual and beneficial relationship among sloths, moths and algae.
Scientists discover single gene that enables multiple morphs in a butterfly
(03/10/2014) Scientists have discovered the gene enabling multiple female morphs that give the Common Mormon butterfly its very tongue-in-cheek name. doublesex, the gene that controls gender in insects, is also a mimicry supergene that determines diverse wing patterns in this butterfly, according to a recent study published in Nature. The study also shows that the supergene is not a cluster of closely-linked genes as postulated for nearly half a century, but a single gene controlling all the variations exhibited by the butterfly's wings.
Wonderful Creatures: meet the beetle-riding arachnid
(03/06/2014) Without wings, smaller terrestrial animals are really restricted when it comes to moving long distances to find new areas of habitat. However, lots of species get around this problem simply by clinging on to other, more mobile animals. The common, yet overlooked pseudoscorpions are among the most accomplished stowaways, one of which (Cordylochernes scorpiodes) has forged a fascinating relationship with the harlequin beetle, a large, strikingly colored insect.
Amazon trees super-diverse in chemicals
(03/03/2014) In the Western Amazon—arguably the world's most biodiverse region—scientists have found that not only is the forest super-rich in species, but also in chemicals. Climbing into the canopy of thousands of trees across 19 different forests in the region—from the lowland Amazon to high Andean cloud forests—the researchers sampled chemical signatures from canopy leaves and were surprised by the levels of diversity uncovered.
Wonderful Creatures: the tiny, predatory penis-worm that lies in wait in the sand
(02/28/2014) The seabed is really where it's at in terms of animal diversity. Of the 35 known animal lineages, representatives of all but two are found here. In contrast, the huge numbers of species that inhabit tropical rainforests represent a mere 12 lineages. One group of animals that illustrates the diversity of the seabed is the Priapulida, which also go by the unfortunate common name of "penis worms." Only 20 species of priapulid are known today, a shadow of their diverse past, which extends back for well over 500 million years. Not commonly seen, the priapulids have attracted little attention from the zoology community as a whole.
The lemur end-game: scientists propose ambitious plan to save the world's most imperiled mammal family
(02/20/2014) Due to the wonderful idiosyncrasies of evolution, there is one country on Earth that houses 20 percent of the world's primates. More astounding still, every single one of these primates—an entire distinct family in fact—are found no-where else. The country is, of course, Madagascar and the primates in question are, of course, lemurs. But the far-flung island of Madagascar, once a safe haven for wild evolutionary experiments, has become an ecological nightmare. Overpopulation, deep poverty, political instability, slash-and-burn agriculture, illegal logging for lucrative woods, and a booming bushmeat trade has placed 94 percent of the world's lemurs under threat of extinction, making this the most imperiled mammal group on the planet. But, in order to stem a rapid march toward extinction, conservationists today publicized an emergency three year plan to safeguard 30 important lemur forests in the journal Science.
Wonderful Creatures: the bizarre-looking marine worm with an incredibly important ecological role
(02/13/2014) Almost everyone knows what an earthworm is, but these very familiar animals are just one variation on a very rich theme that is at its most fabulously varied in the oceans. The mind-boggling appearances and lifestyles of the marine segmented worms are perfectly exemplified by this week's animal.
Photos: mass turtle hatching produces over 200,000 babies
(02/11/2014) Biologists recently documented one of nature's least-known, big events. On the banks of the Purus River in the Brazilian Amazon, researchers witnessed the mass-hatching of an estimated 210,000 giant South American river turtles (Podocnemis expansa). The giant South American river turtle, or Arrau, is the world's largest side-necked turtle and can grow up to 80 centimeters long (nearly three feet).
On edge of extinction, could drones and technology save the Little Dodo?
(02/10/2014) Almost nothing is known about the little dodo, a large, archaic, pigeon-like bird found only on the islands of Samoa. Worse still, this truly bizarre bird is on the verge of extinction, following the fate of its much more famous relative, the dodo bird. Recently, conservationists estimated that fewer than 200 survived on the island and maybe far fewer; frustratingly, sightings of the bird have been almost non-existent in recent years. But conservation efforts were buoyed this December when researchers stumbled on a juvenile little dodo hanging out in a tree. Not only was this an important sighting of a nearly-extinct species, but even more so it proved the species is still successfully breeding. In other words: there is still time to save the species from extinction so long as conservationists are able to raise the funds needed.
Scientists make one of the biggest animal discoveries of the century: a new tapir
(12/16/2013) In what will likely be considered one of the biggest (literally) zoological discoveries of the Twenty-First Century, scientists today announced they have discovered a new species of tapir in Brazil and Colombia. The new mammal, hidden from science but known to local indigenous tribes, is actually one of the biggest animals on the continent, although it's still the smallest living tapir. Described in the Journal of Mammology, the scientists have named the new tapir Tapirus kabomani after the name for 'tapir' in the local Paumari language: Arabo kabomani.
Odd porcupine hugely imperiled by hunting, deforestation
(12/16/2013) The thin-spined porcupine, also known as the bristle-spined rat, is a truly distinct animal: a sort of cross between New World porcupines and spiny rats with genetic research showing it is slightly closer to the former rather than the latter. But the thin-spined porcupine (Chaetomys subspinosus), found only in Brazil's Atlantic Forest, is imperiled by human activities. In fact, a new study in mongabay.com's open access journal Tropical Conservation Science found that the species remains a target for hunters, despite a reputation for tasting terrible.
Like ancient humans, some lemurs slumber in caves
(12/05/2013) After playing, feeding, and socializing in trees all day, some ring-tailed lemurs (Lemur catta) take their nightly respite in caves, according to a new study in Madagascar Conservation and Development. The findings are important because this is the first time scientists have ever recorded primates regularly using caves (see video below).
Sky islands: exploring East Africa's last frontier
(12/04/2013) The montane rainforests of East Africa are little-known to the global public. The Amazon and Congo loom much larger in our minds, while the savannas of East Africa remain the iconic ecosystems for the region. However these ancient, biodiverse forests—sitting on the tops of mountains rising from the African savanna—are home to some remarkable species, many found only in a single forest. A team of international scientists—Michele Menegon, Fabio Pupin, and Simon Loader—have made it their mission to document the little-known reptiles and amphibians in these so-called sky islands, many of which are highly imperiled.
Dolphins, bats and the evolution of echolocation
(11/08/2013) A dolphin swimming through the world's oceans after fish, and a bat flying through the air with its membranous wings to catch insects or eat fruit: at first glance, it looks like no two creatures could be more different. But it turns out they share a superpower - they hunt prey by emitting high-pitched sounds and listening for a returning echo. A recent study published in the journal Nature Letters has shown that the regions of the genome responsible for this ability are strikingly similar between these very different mammals.
Meeting the mammal that survived the dinosaurs
(10/14/2013) So, here I am, running in a forest at night over 2,000 miles from home. This forest—dry, stout, and thorny enough to draw blood—lies just a few miles north of a rural town in the western edge of the Dominican Republic on the border with Haiti. I'm following—or trying to keep pace with—a local hunter and guide as we search for one of the world's most bizarre mammals. It's an animal few people have heard of, let alone actually seen; even most Dominicans don't readily recognize its name or picture. But I've been obsessed with it for six years: it's called a "solenodon," more accurately the Hispaniolan solenodon or its (quite appropriate) scientific name, Solenodon paradoxus.
Featured video: 'this is day one for the olinguito'
(09/04/2013) Last month scientists unveiled a remarkable discovery: a new mammal in the order Carnivora (even though it mostly lives off fruits) in the Andean cloud forests. This was the first new mammal from that order in the Western Hemisphere since the 1970s. The olinguito had long been mistaken for its closest relatives, olingos—small tree-dwelling mammals that inhabit the lowland rainforests of South and Central America—however genetic research showed the olinguito had actually been separated by 3-4 million years from its cousins.
Trinidad and Tobago: a biodiversity hotspot overlooked
(08/26/2013) The two-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean (just off the coast of Venezuela) may be smaller than Delaware, but it has had an outsized role in the history of rainforest conservation as well as our understanding of tropical ecology. Home to an astounding number of tropical ecosystems and over 3,000 species and counting (including 470 bird species in just 2,000 square miles), Trinidad and Tobago is an often overlooked gem in the world's biodiversity.
Zoo races to save extreme butterfly from extinction
(08/15/2013) In a large room that used to house aquatic mammals at the Minnesota Zoo, Erik Runquist holds up a vial and says, 'Here are its eggs.' I peer inside and see small specks, pale with a dot of brown at the top; they look like a single grain of cous cous or quinoa. Runquist explains that the brown on the top is the head cap of the larva, a fact that becomes more clear under a microscope when you can see the encased larva squirm. I'm looking at the eggs of a Poweshiek skipperling, a species that is more imperiled than pandas, tigers, or bluewhales. Once superabundant, only several hundred Poweshiek skipperlings may survive on Earth today and the eggs I'm looking at are the only ones in captivity.
Scientists discover teddy bear-like mammal hiding out in Andean cloud forests (photos)
(08/15/2013) While the olinguito looks like a wild, tree-climbing teddy bear with a cat's tail, it's actually the world's newest mammalian carnivore. The remarkable discovery—the first mammal carnivore uncovered in the Western Hemisphere since the 1970s—was found in the lush cloud forests of the Andes, a biodiverse region home to a wide-range of species found no-where else. Dubbed the olinguito (Bassaricyon neblina), the new mammal is a member of a little-known, elusive group of mammals—olingos—that are related to raccoons, coatis, and kinkajous. However, according to its description in the journal Zookeys, the olinguito is the most distinct member of its group, separated from other olingos by 3-4 million years (or longer than Homo sapiens have walked the Earth).
Meet Thor's shrew: scientists discover new mammal with a superior spine
(07/30/2013) In 1917, Joel Asaph Allen examined an innocuous species of shrew from the Congo Basin and made a remarkable discovery: the shrew's spine was unlike any seen before. Interlocking lumbar vertebrae made the species' spine four times strong than any other vertebrate on Earth adjusted for its size. The small mammal had been discovered only seven years before and was dubbed the hero shrew (Scutisorex somereni), after the name give to it by the local Mangbetu people, who had long known of the shrew's remarkable abilities.
Madagascar's rate of speciation slowing down
(07/16/2013) While Madagascar is famous for its incredible diversity of plants and animals, a new study suggests that the island's rate of speciation has slowed to a crawl.
Vocal-sac breeding frog possibly extinct
(07/02/2013) Somewhere in the wet pine forests of Chile, a male frog is gulping-up a bunch of eggs. No he's not eating them, he's just being a good dad. Darwin's frogs are known for their unique parenting-style: tadpoles are incubated in the vocal sac of the father. First recorded by Charles Darwin during his world famous voyage aboard the Beagle, the amphibians were common in the native Chilean pine forests until the last few decades. Now, scientists believe that one of the two species, the northern Darwin's frog (Rhinoderma rufum), may have vanished for good. And the other is hanging on by a thread.
Why bioluminescent fungi glow in the dark
(06/13/2013) Aristotle (384–322 BC) reported a mysterious light, distinct from fire, emanating from decaying wood. Pliny the Elder (23–79 AD) mentioned feasting on a glowing, sweet fungus found on trees in France and, in the late fifteenth century, a Dutch consul gave accounts of Indonesian peoples using fungal fruits to illuminate forest pathways. Bioluminescent fungi have intrigued generations of observers, and a handful of scientists still carry that torch of curiosity, answering questions about how and why these mushrooms glow.
Common moth can hear higher frequencies than any other animal on Earth
(05/09/2013) A common little moth turns out to have the best ears in the animal kingdom. According to a new study in Biology Letters, the greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) is capable of hearing frequencies up to 300,000 hertz (300kHz), which is 15 times the frequency humans can hear at their prime, around 20 kHz.
New insect discovered in Brazil, only third known in its bizarre family (photos)
(04/15/2013) A new species of forcepfly named Austromerope brasiliensis, was recently discovered in Brazil and described in the open access journal Zoo Keys. This is the first discovery of forcepfly in the Neotropics and only the third known worldwide. The forcepfly, often called the earwigfly because the male genital forceps closely resemble the cerci of the common earwig, remains a scientific enigma due to the lack of information on the family.
The Role of Science for Conservation - book review
(03/18/2013) The Role of Science for Conservation, edited by Matthias Wolff and Mark Gardner, celebrates Charles Darwin's Bicentennial and 50 years of research by the Charles Darwin Foundation in The Galápagos, Ecuador.
Beyond the resorts: traveling the real and wild Dominican Republic (photos)
(01/29/2013) For its stunning variety of ecosystems, the Dominican Republic is like a continent squished into half an island. Lowland rainforests, cloud forests, pine forests, dry forests, mangroves, savannah, coastal lagoons, salt lakes, a rift valley, karst land formations, four mountain ranges—including the highest mountain in the Caribbean—and not to mention some of the best beaches, snorkeling, and scuba diving in the hemisphere can all be reached within just a few hours drive of the capital, Santo Domingo. Yet, bizarrely, most tourists who visit the Dominican Republic never venture out of their all-inclusive resort, missing out on some of the most stunning landscapes—and accessible wildlife viewing—in the Caribbean.
Scientists nearly double the number of biogeographic realms
(01/02/2013) In 1876, British biologist Alfred Russell Wallace published a map of the world that outlined how related animals were spread over the Earth. For example, Wallace was the first to publicize that North American biodiversity was substantially different from South America, and that an invisible line separated Southeast Asian biodiversity from that of Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands. With Wallace's research came the founding of biogeography, or the study of species in relation to geography. Today, scientists with the University of Copenhagen have updated Wallace's map—nearly doubling the number of biogeographic realms—with support from data on over 21,000 species.
New Guinea singing dog photographed in the wild for the first time
(12/03/2012) A rarely seen canine has been photographed in the wild, likely for the first time. Tom Hewitt, director of Adventure Alternative Borneo, photographed the New Guinea singing dog during a 12-day expedition up a remote mountain in Indonesian Papua. Very closely related to the Australian dingo, the New Guinea singing dog, so named for its unique vocalizations, has become hugely threatened by hybridization with domesticated dogs.
Scientists create 'tree of life' mapping all known bird species
(11/02/2012) Scientists have created an evolutionary maps for all the world's nearly 10,000 bird species. The 'tree of life' is published in the current issue of the journal Nature.
Endangered turtle urinates through its mouth
(10/11/2012) One of China's most commonly farmed turtles for consumption, the Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis), has a unique ability: it urinates out of its mouth. Researchers in Singapore, writing in The Journal of Experimental Biology, have discovered that the Chinese soft-shelled turtle excretes most of its urine from its mouth instead of its kidneys. They hypothesize that the turtle developed this ability in order to survive in brackish waters, which contain considerably more salt than freshwater.
An interview with conservation writer David Quammen
(09/05/2012) David Quammen has done consistent and conscientious reporting from the trenches of ecological and evolutionary research for over thirty years now. Few in the world can claim as intimate and broad an understanding of conservation biology as he can. His books such as The Song of the Dodo and Monster of God match scientific and literary perfection. Nandini Velho and Umesh Srinivasan talk to him about the history of conservation science and what it can seek to create.

But whether the procedure cuts the risk of getting and dying from colon cancer by 60 percent (as the study indicated) or 90 percent (as had been assumed), it's still the most effective screen for any common cancer, after the Pap smear. Unlike a mammogram or a test for prostate-specific antigen, colonoscopy can even be considered a form of prevention, since it enables the doctor to get rid of polyps before they become malignant. And yet fewer than half of people who should be screened--those ages 50 and older at average risk--are getting either a colonoscopy or one of the other highly recommended tests for colorectal cancer: sigmoidoscopy, CT or "virtual" colonoscopy, or a double-contrast barium enema.

In addition to finding the best possible practitioner, you need to do your part beforehand. If your insides aren't as immaculate as you can get them, it's harder to detect polyps, especially the flat kind on the right side of the colon (which this study found to be a potential blind spot). There are variations on the prep, which is basically a clear-liquid diet for some period of time plus laxatives. Following to the letter whichever version your doctor recommends is the best way to ensure an unobscured view of the walls of your bowel, says Sidney Winawer, an attending gastroenterologist at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
The colonoscopy isn't perfect; few medical procedures are. And no screening test can give you a 100 percent guarantee that you won't get colon cancer. (There are less invasive tests available, though they can't find precancerous polyps and have other drawbacks; the new stool DNA test requires you to mail in a bowel movement for testing.)
So besides adhering to the recommended screening schedule, you'll want to follow the usual prescriptions for a healthy life, since the evidence is mounting that they may fend off not just colon cancer but other chronic diseases as well: Eat a balanced diet heavy in fruits, veggies, and whole grains and light in saturated fat, and go lightly on the alcohol. Don't smoke (a recent study found that longtime smokers are more likely to get the disease). Get plenty of exercise, and keep your weight down.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has sent out a
warning on the medicines Paxil (paroxetine) and Paxil CR. These antidepressants
are used to treat
depression. Taking Paxil or Paxil CR during the first
12 weeks of pregnancy may increase a woman's chance of having a baby with a
birth defect. The maker of the medicine, GlaxoSmithKline, has changed the label
on the medicine to reflect this.
If you take Paxil or Paxil CR and are pregnant or are planning to get
pregnant, talk to your doctor. Do not stop taking Paxil or Paxil CR unless you
talk to your doctor first.
