Jim Pojar is an internationally respected forest ecology research scientist and well-known British Columbia author of numerous books and scientific papers on the boreal forest, aspen parklands, and coastal ecosystems. He was an ecologist with the BC Ministry of Forests and the Ecological Reserves Program. Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast: Washington, Oregon, British Columbia & Alaska, by Jim Pojar and Andy MacKinnon, has been a best-selling field guide to native plants of the PNW coast for 10 years. Known for its thoroughness, it covers everything from towering trees to microscopic lichens and is filled with photographs drawings, and delightful details such as the origins of plant names.
Andy MacKinnon is a biologist and forester, working with the British Columbia Forest Service. He is also an adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University. Among his many interests and areas of responsibility are old-growth forests; ecosystem processes and conservation; and native plants, fungi, and lichens. Outside of his scientific pursuits, he's played the guitar for 40 years.
A two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist (1999 and 2003) while with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, David Horsey went to work for the Los Angeles Times in 2011. At the Times he is a political commentator and cartoonist and also does a "Horsey on Hollywood" series. The recipient of many honors, he has published a number of collections of his cartoons, and his work is syndicated to a wide range of media outlets. Raised in Seattle, Horsey was editorial cartoonist and then editor-in-chief of The Daily, the student newspaper at the University of Washington, where he received a BA in Communications. The UW has named him as one of its top 100 alumni in the 20th Century.
Award-winning Seattle author David Laskin writes books and articles on subjects as diverse as history, travel, weather, gardens, and the natural world. His most recent books are moving accounts of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary historical events. The Family: Three Journeys into the Heart of the 20th Century (2013)tells the story of the three branches of his mother's family. The Long Way Home: An American Journey from Ellis Island to the Great War (2010) covers the lives of 12 European immigrants, and The Children's Blizzard (2004) is about a deadly winter storm in 1888. His first book (written with Valerie Easton) was Artists in Their Gardens.
Charles R. Cross, Seattle journalist and author, got his start as editor of the UW Daily. His affinity for rock and roll was apparent early on when he once left the front page of The Daily blank like the Beatles' White Album cover. Cross went on to serve as editor of The Rocket from 1986-2000. Hailed by the L.A. Reader as "the best regional music magazine in the nation," it was the first to run a story on Nirvana. Cross wrote about all of the famous Northwest bands, and his articles have appeared in hundreds of publications. He has written seven books, including biographies of Bruce Springsteen and Jimi Hendrix. His award-winning Heavier than Heaven is the definitive book on Kurt Cobain. Cross' most recent work is Here We Are Now: The Lasting Impact of Kurt Cobain.
Ciscoe Morris is one of the best-known gardening experts in the Puget Sound area. After moving to Seattle in the early 70s and continuing his education here, Morris served as Seattle University's Landscape and Grounds Manager for 24 years. He shares his passion for gardening and offers humorous advice through his TV shows, "Gardening with Cisco" on KING 5, and "Gardening with Ciscoe Live" on Northwest Cable News, as well as a weekly radio show. He also writes a column for The Seattle Times, appears regularly on Home and Garden Television, and wrote Ask Cisco, a highly popular garden book.
Estella Leopold was redirected by her famous father, Aldo Leopold, from her interest in entomology to the study of plants, which led to her distinguished career as a paleobotonist specializing in the study of fossil pollen. During her two decades with the U.S. Geological
Survey in Denver, she led concerned scientists and citizens in creating the 6,000-acre Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument in Colorado, and saved one of the richest
deposits of plant and insect fossils in the world from being developed. Leopold came to the UW in 1976 to join Art Kruckeberg's department and is a still-active professor emeritus of botany. A prolific author and committed conservationist, Leopold is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Philosophical Society.
Marita Dingus is a distinguished working and exhibiting mixed-media sculptor and teacher. A native of Seattle, she earned her BFA from Temple University's Tyler School of Art and her MFA from San Jose State University. She works with materials that other people throw away, using them to explore her African heritage. Among her many awards, she has received a Visual Art Fellowship from Artist Trust, a John S. Guggenheim Fellowship, and was named the Morrie and Joan Alhadeff PONCHO Artist of the Year in 2005. Dingus has had solo shows at Henie Onstad Kunstsenter and The Stenersen Museum in Norway and the Museum of Glass in Tacoma. The art world may have never had a more creative advocate of recycling.

The fan noise is now tolerable, prices are pushing up
Posted by corndog on 07/09/2013
The food was fine for a diner even though my Mexican burger came with banana peppers instead of jalapenos last time I was there. But my girlfriend ordered a little side of cole slow that they give away in every other diner and they charged $3.95. I felt ripped off. Never going back
Posted by Bernard D on 02/14/2013
It's almost a year an despite my complaint about the kitchen whirring noise, nothing has happened. The food is still good at good prices, but it appears nothing will make Mike create a comfortable atmosphere.
Posted by Bernard Dworkin on 03/08/2012
A good diner with large portions and reasonable prices. Major problem is the incessant whirring, pulsating noise from a kitchen exhaust fan that makes it impossible for me to stay there. I discussed the problem with the owner who promised to repair but it's been about 2 months and no change.

Got the credit card bill and noticed $1.00 was added to the already generous tip. When we called they said there was a $1.00 processing fee for credit. It was not posted anywhere in the restaurant or on the menu that was noticeable and no one told us when we paid with a credit card at the cashier there would be a processing fee. Not worth the aggravation and the food has gone downhill.

I've been eating breakfast at Plaza at least once every week for 2 years. They've a sister diner - Nation's - on 49/1st. If what you want is simple diner-food, then Plaza's a perfect place. They've a large lunch crowd, as there's a highschool across the street, as well as construction workers from the area as well, so, try to get there a few minutes early to get a booth.

Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Vacuum cleaning systems that offer the best cleaning ability – is that what you are seeking? It's also likely that you believe that cleaning ability is related to power or suction. Actually, it's not. While there's no single factor that determines the cleaning ability of the vacuum cleaner you use, understanding how vacuums work and how you can help maintain your vacuum cleaner to perform its best is important. Changing your vacuum cleaner bag is an important step in maintaining the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner. While most vacuum cleaners come with an indicator to help you determine when your cleaner's dust bag needs to be changed, you can perform a check yourself to see if it is over 50% full as that's when you need to replace it. Don't wait until the dust bag in your vacuum cleaner is completely full as it can reduce the suction and cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system. If you use your vacuum cleaner frequently, it is recommended that you change vacuum cleaner bags once a month, especially if you are cleaning a large area over 2000 square feet or if your pet sheds a lot.
What you need the most when you are considering vacuum cleaner bag replacement is a bag that is well-matched with the model of your vacuum cleaning system. You can find original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or replacement type bags online. While both serve the purpose, that is enhancing the cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system and providing you an easy way to get rid of all the dirt that you vacuum cleaner collects, you can choose one according to your budget and cleaning needs. At GoVacuum, we have got a vast range of vacuum cleaner bags from the biggest and the best brands around. You'll find them here at great prices and shipping offers. We are the vacuum cleaning system experts and can recommend the right bag for your existing system all while staying within your budget.

Toledo, Ohio
Under the auspices of the General Services Administration Design Excellence Program and located at the intersection of Cherry and Michigan streets on the city's Civic Center Mall the new courthouse, a 223,600 sf facility, provides six courtrooms and space to accommodate future District Court expansion. Our design concept organizes the six courts in three pairs of courtrooms - each in its own cylindrical volume. The court masses are arranged in a right angle configuration. Cohesion of the composition occurs with a continuous horizontal roof plane. The three volumes emerge from the roof as domes. The roof extends towards the west to engage the buildings drop-off. This long cantilever produces a strong horizontal image fronting the mall, terminating the north end and creates a dramatic counterpoint to the existing county courthouse at the opposing end of the mall. The continuous curved surface of the courthouse volume creates a soft link to the landscape of the mall while the rectilinear organization of the chambers creates a strong connection to the urban grid. The scale and articulation of the chamber mass also creates a strong visual connection between the courthouse and the adjacent three story apartment buildings across Cherry Street.

MARCH OF FOLEY. The offices of Foley Hoag are expanding their government strategies practice and have hired Connie Garner and Stacey Sachs to navigate the uncharted waters of healthcare reform. Garner has been named policy director of the government strategies practice, and Sachs joins the firm as senior health policy specialist. Both come from the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, where they served under the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and current HELP Chairman Tom Harkin. In her role as the panel's policy director, Garner was a principal staff architect of the Community Living Assistance Services and Support Act -- enacted as part of healthcare reform this year. Garner received a bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania, a master's in nursing from George Mason University, and an educational specialist degree in health and education policy from The George Washington University. Sachs was health counsel for the HELP Committee, where she had worked since 1998. Before coming to Capitol Hill, she worked for the chief administrative law judge at the Social Security Administration and as a counsel at the Labor Department. Sachs received her bachelor's and law degrees from the University of Florida.

When the guys arrived and first set eyes on each other their little faces lit up, eyes were sparkling and i am sure there were a few trouser movements during the formalities, i knew then and there that this was going to be something special.
both guys could barely keep their hands off each other, so much so that i decided to just hit record and see what happens...

Our crafts begin with activities on Archeology, along with Prehistorical Age dinosaurs & fossils!

Next are projects on the major ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, China, Greece, & Rome.
Find more Ancient History projects on our pages for Ancient History---General Topics AND the page for Ancient Egypt projects. Both of these categories have a separate page of their own!
The Young Archeologist's Club offers several downloadable archeology worksheets that are perfect for classroom activities.

A quick took me here
While beeing in this thread currently, I thought I could ask you guys if anyone of you knows any bluetooth cellphone software suitable for carpc's other then PhoneControl.
For those who wonder why PhoneControl is not a program of my choice (while it is obvious I should support it) I have a short explanation. Please take it as these are my opinions and may not be acceptable for others. PhoCo is IMHO a little bit too hard to configure, maintain and use - especially if you do not have touchscreen. It is way too complex for me - all I want is simple backgroung running application that would pop-up skinnable window "Incomming call from %*^578" with two buttons only - red phone icon button and green phone icon buton. If I decide to pick the phone, it should establish link with phone and setup headset profile. Thats it, no SMS functionality, no phone memory editor, no caller pictures. Small, fast and easy to skin/use program. And afterall, I refuse to install .NET pack just because PhoCo. Its NOT because I do not want to pay for software I will use (I was not using PhoCo even before it was freeware).
You can flame me, but I will accept some advices more then flames

Progress report: CONSTANT BITRATE
I'd like to revive this discussion (this thread appears to be like a year old). Has anyone found an alternative to Phonecontrol? I have a Treo 650 for Sprint and I jsut can't get it to work. I've set up everything in Phonecontrol and it even connected once, but it was non-functional. I never could dial with it. It seems like it just doeasn't work with the Treo 650. So I'm looking for an alternative. So far, I've found:
Mobiphone Plugin mentioned above, which is cool, but it doesn't look like it is being developed anymore
Float's Mobile Agent looks really promising. It is open-source and highly functional. So far, I haven't had any luck with this an my Treo, though. I'm going to keep trying on this one though.
One more option is using the Bluetooth Headset profile in Bluetooth neighborhood. My bluetooth adapter supports this, but my Treo can't see it so this doesn't work for me. Maybe there is something I'm doing wrong here, but I jsut can't figure this one out.
Has anyone seen anything else? I'd be willing to code a basic phone interface - at least something that let me hear the phone audio through the PC via bluetooth, but I know nothing about Bluetooth. I can do basic C++ and C# programming, but I know nothing about interfacing with Bluetooth. Any ideas woudl be appreciated!
Flaots Mobile Agent is for Sony Erricson phones. Phonecontrol does not support any CDMA phones (i.e. sprint + verizon).
mp3car is developing a parrot based bluetooth dongle that should hopefully work with your phone... but I don't know the details.
I need an alternative too. Phonecontrol doesn't work with my new Razr.

Racial reconciliation advocate to deliver Kenner Lecture
Charles Villa-Vicencio
Charles Villa-Vicencio, a senior research fellow in the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation in Cape Town, South Africa, will deliver the 2009 Kenner Lecture next week in the Zoellner Arts Center.
Villa-Vicencio's address, titled "Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes: Does the South African Settlement Have Anything to Teach the World?," will begin at 8 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 22, in Baker Hall.
The lecture is free and open to the public.
Villa-Vicencio is a noted proponent of racial equality in Africa. He founded the Institute for Justice and Reconciliation in 2000 and served eight years as its executive director. He is now a visiting professor in the
Conflict Resolution Program
at Georgetown University.
"The Kenner Lecture is supposed to be about greater understanding between peoples, cultures and religions, so Prof. Villa-Vicencio is ideal for the event," says Ben Wright, professor and department chair of
religion studies
and organizer of the lecture.
"Here is a person who has been actively involved in working to achieve justice in conflict-torn regions without having sides resort to retributive violence. Prof. Villa-Vicencio is seeking peace with justice that will last."
Villa-Vicencio served previously as the national research director in the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which sought to rebuild post-apartheid South African society through reconciliation and not retribution. By the end of its hearings, the Commission had taken statements from more than 20,000 victims of apartheid and had received applications for amnesty from 7,100 perpetrators of violence.
His forthcoming book, scheduled for release in October 2009, is titled
Walk with Us and Listen: Political Reconciliation in Africa
, with a forward by Bishop Desmond Tutu.
The Kenner Lecture was established in 1997 by Jeffrey L. Kenner '65, who holds degrees in industrial engineering and business. He is the president of Kenner & Company Inc., a New York-based private equity investment firm which he founded in 1986. Kenner served as a Lehigh trustee from 1995-2002 and has been a longtime member of Lehigh's Asa Packer and Tower Societies.

Need Better Computer Speakers for Your Home PC or Gaming PC?
A Better Way to the PC Home Theater System:
Looking for some better options to consider with computer speakers?
These ideas are often overlooked by the mainstream retail customer.
But I don't think you are mainstream... or ordinary...
Get a speaker that is anything but ordinary... High Quality completely finished surround sound speakers... Now on Sale!
Build your own speakers:
1. You can buy a basic set of small computer monitors from a big box store. This is the most expensive and offers the lowest audio performance.
2. You can buy a speaker kit and put the parts together - which is very easy. (see picture to the right) You will only need a few basic tools to complete the job and it will only take a couple hours. To see more go to: Speaker Building - Build your perfect speaker with our parts and supplies from crossover components to full kits. This is a less expensive and higher performance option than the first. Go to the Cheap Home Theater System page for help with these..
3. Or, did you know that you can easily make your own DIY computer speakers from scratch? It's actually quite simple. Getting higher performance PC speakers and spending less on these discount speakers at the same time.
The entire process can easily be completed on a Saturday afternoon. Our speaker plans show you how to build them. Below is a parts list. You could even make up your own plans if you wish.
Recommended Speaker components and Speaker Parts:This is the HiVi B3N full range driver. Use from 150Hz to 20,000Hz.
This speaker driver is a real bargain at it's $12 per unit price. Very smooth response up to 8k where a peak will need to be brought down. Available at Parts Express.
This can usually be done within the sound-card software of your computer speaker system. Bass distortion below 200 Hz is pretty high so I would only use this driver down to about 150 Hz.
Distortion is very good from 200 Hz to 20 kHz, especially at this price. These will not play super loud but are more than adequate for PC speaker monitors or for TV or small PC Home theater system monitors.
You will get higher performance with a set of these mini cube speakers and a small sub-woofer, than a Blose' acoustimass speaker system. And for a small fraction of the price.
Click the parts express link below and enter "HiVi B3N" in the search bar on the right of their page. It will bring up this driver.
These parts can be found at Parts Express – Free Shipping Every Day on most orders over $98 (Restrictions apply).
Binding Posts are mounted on the back of the cabinet by drilling two holes.
Seal between cabinet and posts with silicon caulk for a complete seal.
Your PC speakers will be easier to hook up with a set of these and they only cost a few dollars at Parts Express.
Click one of the Parts Express text links and enter binding posts into the top right search box to see a variety of these connectors.
To learn how to make your own DIY speaker cables and interconnect wires click here.
This is a full range driver from Tang Band. Can also be used from 100Hz to 20,000Hz.
Will need some Eq around 14k to smooth a rise in the response. Very easy to correct with a computer.
This driver has a very nice even response with low distortion. Because it is a 4" driver it will have some beaming at high frequencies. This is a trade off for the coherence that it provides.
Beaming is not really an issue if you are seated in the sweet spot, such as at the computer.
This driver will have a bit better bass response and lower distortion in below 200 Hz than the Hi-Vi B3N driver above. But the price is a bit higher too.
Click the parts express link below and enter "Tang Band W4-1337SA" in the search bar on the right of their page. It will bring up this driver. Find these speaker drivers at Parts Express – Free Shipping Every Day on most orders over $98 (Restrictions apply).
For Highest Quality Computer Audio and PC Home Theater System:
Fabricate small enclosures out of 3/4" thick MDF for your computer speakers. The cabinet will be 5.5" wide, 9" tall and 7" deep. Cut the pieces with a table saw or chop saw for DIY computer-speakers.
If you only have a power saw use guides and clamps to make your cuts straight. You can add a brace in the middle of the cab if you wish.
Cut the hole for the driver into the front baffle before finishing assembly of the cabinet. Chamfer the inside edge of the front baffle.
This will allow the back wave of sound to easily evacuate away from the driver and baffle. Use the driver to line up the holes for the mounting screws. Drill holes for terminal block on the rear baffle at this time also.
Use the Mini Cube speakers for a computer surround sound speaker - awesome performance!
If you want perfect looking cabinets for your computer speakers you must sand all edges until the joints are perfectly flat. This will take some time if doing this by hand.
Makes sure all voids and gaps are completely filled with glue prior to finishing your sanding job. Filled spaces will need to be sanded flat as well. (after they have completely dried)
Use 'stick on' sandpaper pads and stick them to a flat piece of left over MDF. If you have a power sander this process is much faster. Caution: A belt sander may remove too much wood.
Primer the cabinet with a spray on primer. (not in the garage next to your car) Apply several coats of primer and check your work with a light.
Apply your first coat of color to the computer speakers. Add layers by lightly sanding after each coat dries. Keep in mind this primer and paint process can take several days because of drying time. Be patient!
Solder the driver terminals to the terminal block using some 16ga wire. Make sure polarity is correct. Install the terminal block into the cabinet. Make sure the terminal block is sealed to the cabinet.
Use a gasket when mounting the driver to the baffle. The cabinet must be air tight.
Use an old home theater receiver to power the computer speakers drivers. If you are looking for Very High Quality Audio for your computer read this on how to build a set of even better computer speakers and a DIY home theater speaker. An article about the superiority of using the HTPC to do more than just store media.

Customer Testimonials:
"Peter, I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say how impressed I am with these speakers. They are EXACTLY what I was looking for..very very small with big sound.
My wife loves them as well. They look great, and you hardly notice them at all sitting on the shelf. They integrate perfectly as surrounds. I have them crossed over at 150 as you recommended...simply fantastic. I only have about 15 hours on them so far, so I know they will only get better. You really have something here. Kelly ~ Montana USA
"I found these speakers by accident and after reading all the available info and after several emails back and forth with the company owner I decided I had nothing to lose, so I ordered a set of 5 mini cube speakers.
Peter was very helpful and patient and always responded to my emails within hours.
I have had the speakers set up for a couple of days and they sound great; they are everything described on the web site.
The sound from these small speakers truly is awesome.
I replaced a set of very high quality but also very large speakers and have not been disappointed... and the wife loves not having four large speakers in the living room.
The sound from these speakers really does fill the entire house, I was concerned about the small size of the speakers due to the fact I like to listen to music and movies at volumes most would consider loud.
These speakers are more than capable of playing at volume levels louder than I ever need while also maintaining very high quality sound. ~by; William (Corinth,TX)
"I ordered these speakers in the hope of bringing some life to my entertainment system... I didn't think it would bring room filling sound to my entire house. These speakers not only fill my den with crystal clear sound, but radiate great sound throughout the house. Thanks for such a great product!" Celia ~Malasia IP#220.127.116.11
"these speakers breathed new life back into my music, I had no idea such small surround sound speakers could perform so well." John from US IP# 184.108.40.206
"how you got so much performance out of these speakers I have no idea -Great product!" Andrew from Denmark IP# 220.127.116.11
"nice speakers, nice finish, blended in with my room well and the wife is happy too. Great sound presentation! Now I just wish you guys made a subwoofer." Kyle from US IP# 184.108.40.206
"These surround sound speakers are amazing! After running them in for a couple days, I decided to play some tunes, and they never once sounded distorted or strained...
While I know they should be paired with a good sub-woofer bass system, I think they sound good enough that I can wait until I have the money to buy a really nice sub." Fred US IP#22.214.171.124
"Wow, what a great set of speakers. I really understand what you mean by a large sound-stage." Sandy from US IP# 22.214.171.124
"Recently I came to realize that my HDTV was better than my sound system... So, I decided to piece together a better sound system. Running across your site (and these speakers) was the best thing that has happened to my home theater.
My current system is; an older receiver, a home theater PC with a blue-ray player drive, and one pair of your Mini-Cubes. (for now; I plan to buy 3 more speakers soon)" Kevin US IP#188.8.131.52
"Purchasing a new set of surround sound speakers was a must for me. My old system looked awful and sounded even worse. The quality and look of your Mini-Cube speaker were a perfect fit.
Once I reviewed the ratings and tests I knew they would be perfect. I will be sure to look for more information and products from you. I can't believe the performance of these surround sound speakers for the modest price. I would recommend these speakers to anyone!" Mike US IP#172.16.2.142
"The overall quality and dynamic capacity of these speakers really took me by surprise. Their imaging is distinct, tonality is crystal clear, and oh yeah... they pump out some serious volume!
I feel like I have stolen speakers that I can't afford. People that spend more are Suckers!!" Micah US #Ohio

Tar Heels eliminate Gators; Campbell wins first NCAA tourney game
Adam Ramirez and Adam Pate hit back-to-back RBI doubles in the third inning after a rain delay of 3 hours, 19 minutes to spark North Carolina to a 5-2 victory that eliminated host and No. 2 national seed Florida on Saturday.
The Gators (40-23) went 0-2 in a regional for the second year in a row and have lost their last six NCAA tournament games since the 2012 College World Series.
North Carolina (35-26) advanced to a game on Sunday against the loser of the late game between the College of Charleston and Long Beach State.
The Tar Heels broke open a scoreless tie after returning from the lengthy delay, greeting Florida reliever Kirby Snead with four consecutive hits.
Reilly Hovis (9-1) got the victory in relief.
Zack Powers and Casey Turgeon had RBI singles for the Gators.
Campbell 4, Old Dominion 1 (12 innings)
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Elijah Trail and Brooks Borders had RBI singles in the 12th inning and Campbell won for the first time in NCAA tournament play, beating Old Dominion 4-1 in an elimination game Saturday in the Columbia Regional.
Reliever Ryan Thompson (7-2) pitched five innings of one-hit ball to keep Campbell in it.
The Camels (41-20) will face Maryland or South Carolina in another elimination game Sunday. Campbell's only other NCAA appearance was when it went 0-2 in the 1990 tournament.
Old Dominion (36-26) has lost eight straight NCAA tournament games dating to 1995.
Pitching problems doomed Old Dominion for a second straight game. Closer Brad Gero twice hit batters in the ninth inning against Maryland that let in the tying and winning runs Friday. This time, reliever Victor Diaz hit a batter to load the bases and set up the run-scoring hits by Trail and Borders.

Like most inhabitants of the tropical rainforests, titan beetles are threatened by deforestation and habitat loss. Paradoxically, the interest of commercial collectors in specimens of Titanus may help to save not only the beetles themselves, but the whole ecosystem where they live.
Anything that can be commercially marketed, even on a relatively small scale, but which lives only in good quality forest, will have the fringe benefit of saving tracts of forest that would otherwise be cleared away for more destructive forms of subsistence. One example is the brazil nut which is considered a 'green' product because the nuts only grow well in relatively diverse, undisturbed forest. Thus, the brazil nut industry provides an incentive to local people to keep areas of natural forest in good condition. This provides an income from the nuts, and at the same time protects everything else that inhabits the forest.
There are villages in French Guiana, in the rainforests, where many people supplement their income by collecting insects in general, and Titanus in particular, for sale to dealers and collectors. This cottage industry ensures the continued survival of the forests in these areas, and all the species they support.
Because female Titanus beetles are nearly impossible to collect, the commercial industry deals almost entirely in males. This makes the business truly sustainable, because the removal of males is less damaging to a population than removal of females (because one male can fertilise many females).
So as well as being a truly magnificent creature, and the largest beetle in the world, Titanus giganteus could be described as a guardian of the rainforest.
Since it is a large and showy insect, and many specimens end up in the commercial trade, there have been moves to extend legal protection to this species. But any such legislation is likely to have a negative impact and lead to further deforestation.

Developer: Midway San Diego
Publisher: Midway
Platform: PS2, XBox
Release Date: December 12, 2005
by Jason Ferguson
The classic Gauntlet series has been reborn in the form of Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows! This entry in the series features a lot of improvements over the rest of the series, such as deeper gameplay, much more impressive graphics, and online play. But do the changes result in a better game? Read on to find out!
The Uricointi Empire was once a mighty kingdom, whose Emperor was aided by four powerful, immortal heroes. These heroes, known best by simple words that befit them, were the Elf, the Warrior, the Wizard, and the Valkyrie. These great heroes were loyal to their Emperor, but little did they know that he was being corrupted by six power-hungry advisors. These advisors craved not only the Emperor's position, but the immortality of the heroes. The Emperor was tricked into betraying his trusted heroes, and bound them to the Great Tree Rit'i, which grew its very roots into the nexus of magical energy at the bottom of the world. Afterwards, the six advisors betrayed the Emperor as well, killing him and taking the throne for themselves. Now as a ghost cursed to roam the world alone, the former Emperor realizes his mistake. He must free the heroes from the Great Tree and undo his first sorrow. Once free, they will be able to destroy the evil advisors, and put closure to the Emperor's remaining six sorrows, freeing the world from the clutches of evil and allowing the Emperor to rest in peace.
At first glance the story seems fairly deep and interesting, however it's not relayed through the game well at all. Most of the info I just gave you can be found in the game manual, or will be explained before the game begins in a brief intro scene. Once the game begins, there really isn't much to the story. No plot twists, character interaction, or even much explanation as to what's going on. There is a little bit of story given in snippets between each level, which ties together each level, explaining where you are and who you're about to fight. The story isn't particularly deep and not very interesting, but it ties the game together enough to give you a reason to keep fighting the evil hordes.
If you've ever played a Gauntlet game, the gameplay will be familiar to you. You start out by choosing one of the four heroes to play as. The game can be played by anywhere from 1-4 players, and you can even take the action online, which is new to the series. The game is fully playable single-player, however, to get the most out of it, the game should really be played with friends. When played alone, the gameplay can quickly get repetitive and dull.
Throughout the game you'll hack 'n' slash your way through hordes of enemies, gaining experience with each kill and taking out the generators to stop the swarm. When you gain enough experience you'll level up, which will award you with a stat point that you can use to increase either your health, attack, or mana regeneration. Along the way, you'll also gather gold, which you can use to purchase new abilities.
Seven Sorrows adds quite a bit more depth to the series with a variety of attacks and abilities. You can perform a hack, which is a powerful shield-breaking attack; a slash, which is a sweeping attack that can hit multiple foes; a projectile, which is a ranged attack; and a launch, which shoots enemies into the air. You can also block, dodge, and perform a powerful mana blast, which uses up your MP to deal great damage to nearby foes as well as defeats Death, who will occasionally pop out of treasure chests to kill you. Aside from these basic moves, each character can perform a variety of unique combos using different button combinations. Each character also has four unique special moves, such as the Warrior's Vortex ability, which is an axe maneuver that pulls in and stuns nearby enemies. These moves are powerful and can have a variety of effects, but they are used at the expense of MP. This all adds a lot more depth to Seven Sorrows than what was seen in previous games in the series, and helps to break up some of the hack 'n' slash monotony. It's still not horribly deep, but it should be enough to please most RPG fans while keeping the gameplay simple enough to appeal to the casual gamer. If you're a fan of the genre who yearns for a break from the complexity of most RPGs, then Gauntlet might have just the right level of depth for you.
Throughout the game you'll also pick up armor and weapons upgrades that will not only increase the strength of your weapons and armor, but will also change their appearance. This isn't nearly as interesting as in Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, where you changed character class in addition to changing appearance, and you gained a familiar, which also changed in appearance. But, I guess it's better than nothing!
The game features multiple difficulty settings, ranging from Beginning to Impossible. In Beginning mode, you and your teammates have infinite lives. In the Impossible mode, though, you only have two lives, making it extremely challenging. If you're brave enough to try your hand at the Impossible mode, you're probably best off to play through some of the easier modes first in order to power your character up. Unfortunately, the game length is extremely short and can easily be conquered in a weekend or a lengthy day-long sitting. It does feature a little bit of replay value if you decide to try and tackle some of the higher modes of difficulty, play as a different character, or level your character up to the fullest. Still, I managed to gain access to all the abilities in a single play through, so you'll probably get everything there really is to get out of the game by beating it once. It's a major step forward as far as graphics and gameplay depth over Dark Legacy, but it doesn't feature a fraction of the replay value or nearly as much game length.
The game's music is actually pretty good, however it's subtle enough that you aren't going to notice it a lot among all the chaos. Still, the music suits the game nicely, and if you take the time to listen to it, you'll be pleased. The voice acting is all of pretty good quality, although the narrator can get annoying pretty quickly because you'll have to listen to him freak out every time someone starts to get low on health.
Graphically, the game is a major improvement over previous games in the series. The environments are beautiful and feature a large amount of variety, allowing you to notice the high amount of detail. The spell effects look great, from blasts of fire to the summoning of Death as he appears to drain your life. The characters are also well detailed and designed, although perhaps a bit cliché, and they even move with a fair amount of realism. Unfortunately, the camera can cause quite a few problems if you choose to play multiplayer. Players will often get stuck on objects, and you'll have to backtrack to free them. Most annoying of all is when a character gets pinned in the corner of the screen by enemies and is unable to move. There will also be plenty of times where you can't see the oncoming swarms of enemies due to the focus of the camera and they'll seem to come out of nowhere.
Overall, Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows is an action-packed, enjoyable adventure that makes some major improvements on the classic Gauntlet gameplay. It's not particularly long, though, the camera is as annoying as ever, and hardcore RPG fans may find it far too light on the RPG elements for their taste. Still, with all things considered, this is great multiplayer fun for those who aren't looking for something horribly deep.

- Need to encourage students to really look at the leaves and not just play with the interactive tool.
- Another activity with a stronger coverage of the science: http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/IB181/VPL/Clim/Clim1.html
About the Science
- Students are required to examine leaf edges using either large poster images or an online interactive tool and do some simple arithmetic to understand the differences in the leaves from different sites.
- This activity gives an example of how scientists themselves conduct their inquiry.
- Large amount of background information appropriate for educators and students is available.
- References to the original data, as well as that for the correlations between mean temperature and leaf morphology, are not included.
- An article addressing the underlying science of leaf margin analysis can be found here: Wilf, Peter. (1997). When are leaves good thermometers? A new case for Leaf Margin Analysis. Paleobiology, 23(3), 373-390 .
- Ideally the change seen during the early Cenozoic should be related with any effects that it had on biota.
- The explanation of the term "isotopes" is provided, educators need to clarify this in class.
- Comment from scientist: When used immediately following "Cenozoic," the term "era" should possess an uppercase "E" (i.e., Cenozoic Era).
About the Pedagogy
- Activity uses text, images, illustrations, video and interactive forms to tell a vivid story.

Toyo Tire USA Packs A Punch
You better be careful about what you say about Toyo tyres from now on. For the US branch of the company - Toyo Tire USA - has just released a statement confirming that they are sponsoring Ultimate Fighting Championship Lightweight division fighter, Anthony "Showtime" Pettis.
Talking of the new sponsorship deal, Pettis said, "I am proud to represent Toyo Tires. Toyo has always been a major supporter of mixed martial arts and I am honoured that they have selected me as an ambassador of their brand."
Anthony Pettis originally hails from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and is considered by many within the UFC organisation to be a top contender for the UFC Lightweight Championship over the coming year. At present his fight record is a very impressive 11-1-0 (that's wins-losses-draws).
Standing at 5' 9" and weighing in at 155lb, Pettis holds a third degree black belt in the martial art Taekwondo. He has also studied (and uses) Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai to complete an impressive arsenal of fighting styles.
He made his professional debut as a MMA fighter back in December 2007 and went on a 7 match unbeaten run. Before fighting within the UFC, Pettis spent over a year fighting in the World Extreme Cagefighting Leagues (WEC).
As part of the new deal, the Toyo Tires logo will feature on the shorts Pettis wears during fights. On top of this, Pettis is expected to further promote the brand through marketing campaigns and personal appearances.
The Manager of events and motorsports for the Toyo Tire USA Corp, Stan Chen, was elated with the new sponsorship deal. He has been quoted on Typress.com as saying, "we are excited to have Anthony Pettis as one of our Team Toyo Athletes for 2011.
"Pettis is a great personality in the sport of mixed martial arts and is a top contender for the UFC lightweight championship."
