SANTA ANA – No stone, however tiny, is left unturned.
For the students who are working at the Cooper Center for Archaeology and Paleontology this summer, the day starts at 9 a.m. While other college students are sleeping in or dragging themselves reluctantly to summer session, the aspiring paleontologists at Cooper don't seem tired at all.
Some chip away at a massive block of fossil-filled sediment with dental picks and X-acto knives. Others sift through Ziploc bags of debris in search of tiny, ancient teeth that could belong to an early mammal or rodent.
"They never get tired. They never get bored," said their supervisor, James Parham. "They get lost in their work."
That's because the work is so interesting, says Gabriel Santos, 25, a master's degree candidate who has worked with Parham for over a year.
"It becomes an obsession," Santos said. "You see a bit of a bone and you want to dig a little more. Then you see another bone, and you want to dig even more. Pretty soon, you look at your watch and realize you've been there for 10 hours."
Parham, a professor of paleontology at Cal State Fullerton, which operates the Cooper Center in collaboration with OC Parks, says the biggest problem he faces with his students is that they work too much.
"I have to remind them to take breaks," Parham said. "I worry they'll get carpal tunnel syndrome."
The students are working on a fossil bed from San Clemente that was unearthed in 1998. It weighs several tons and contains a layer of mineralized bones that are roughly 42 million to 46 million years old. This year, students from community colleges and Cal State Fullerton have identified 10 distinct species.
Among the finds from the bone-containing layer: the Brontothere, a distant cousin of the rhino slightly larger than a cow, and Dyseolemur, a primitive, insect-eating primate with thumbs and toes.
The fossil record shows Southern California was a very different place during the Eocene epoch, 56 million to 34 million years ago, warm and wet enough to support ancient crocodilians and even ancestors of the boa constrictor.
"The diversity of life during the Eocene was ... staggering," Parham said. "It would be impossible for one person to tackle it all."
Each student at Cooper has a specialty.
For Roseanna Garcia, 21, that specialty is age determination: though she's been at the Cooper Center for less than two months, she has helped update the estimated age of the fossil bed in light of the last few months' discoveries.
"I dig through literature," Garcia said, smiling slightly at the pun. "By comparing the fossils in this sediment to fossils in published papers, you can get a pretty good idea of how old your sample is."
Isaac Magallanes, 19, a junior at Cal State Fullerton, has been working on the bone bed for four or five months. Last semester, he took Parham's Geology 101 class, and worked with Parham in his lab as an independent study. He switched majors, from child and adolescent studies to geology, shortly afterward.
"I always had an interest as a kid," he said. "After taking Dr. Parham's class, I realized this was something real people do for a living. And that was it: I caught the bug all over again."
For three weeks, Magallanes has been painstakingly reconstructing a single, fossilized bone from dozens of tiny fragments. He doesn't know what species the bone belongs to, but he says he's closer to the answer than he's ever been.
Santos says his favorite fossils are of a group of large, stubby-legged marine mammals that has been extinct for more than 7 million years.
"I'm kind of obsessed with desmostylians," Santos said. "They are the most beautiful creatures – you don't want to get me started on them."
Magallanes shook his head emphatically, cupping a hand over Santos' mouth. His favorite species – fossil sea lions – are far more interesting, he joked.
The students have formed a close-knit group. They share inside jokes and meals and a compulsion to unearth and identify complete fossils.
"We're a big family here," Santos said. "We understand what it feels like, to want to keep digging. We're like minded."
Their motto, Santos added with a wink, is, "We dig science."
The students are learning that paleontology comes with its share of frustrations. Sometimes, when a slab is left out in the open, the sediment inside it shifts and cracks. When the soil is touched, it caves, spilling pounds of dust and debris.
Danny Weiherer, who attends Santiago Canyon College, said working at the Cooper Center helped him realize that paleontology isn't for him. Weiherer has been trying to reconstruct the environment of the Talega bone bed based on the fossil species unearthed there. What he's learned so far: Eocene San Clemente was a warm, dense forest along a river – very different from what it is today.
"This experience has been amazing," Weiherer, 20, said. "But I want to study living animals, and working here has given me a deeper appreciation for them."
He intends to study ecology at UC Davis.
Still, the Cooper Center has a way of capturing the imagination of everyone who works there, Santos said.
"You close your eyes and you start to see things: a sloth with hunched-over shoulders, a whale with a huge mouth," Santos said. "After you spend enough time studying their bones, these ancient, ancient creatures come to life."
Santos, originally from La Palma, did his undergraduate work at UCI. He was in the process of applying for medical school when he visited a museum of natural history on the east coast.
"I was looking at the fossils, and I had an epiphany," Santos said. "I thought to myself, 'People actually do this for a living.'"
He hasn't looked back since.
"It doesn't feel like work," Santos said. "I guess that's how you know you've picked the right career, when it feels like an adventure day after day after day."
For Garcia, the path has been simpler.
"I've wanted to be a paleontologist always," Garcia said. "This is just the beginning."

Revealed: the Foreign Office Devo unit's drive to kill off independence
Tom Gordon, Scottish Political Editor / / News
A FOREIGN Office department ostensibly set up to promote the Scottish Government's interests is being used against it in the independence referendum, diplomatic cables have revealed.
The Devolution Unit, created by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in 2012 to deliver abroad the "utmost co-operation", now appears to be at the heart of Westminster's anti-independence drive, amassing hostile reactions from overseas.
It is understood the FCO has contacted the governments of China, Russia, the US, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the 28 EU nations about the Scottish referendum in a global search for allies who might oppose independence.
Loading article content
One recent cable showed UK embassies being ordered to forward a Westminster paper critical of independence "to their host governments and other local contacts" and then feed their comments back to the Devolution Unit "ASAP".
It would help the Unionist cause if countries raised their concerns about an independent Scotland joining international bodies such as the EU and Nato.
The action is in spite of Prime Minister David Cameron insisting that September's poll is purely "a debate between Scots" - the argument he uses for refusing to debate with Alex Salmond.
Promoted stories
The First Minister yesterday issued a fresh challenge to debate to Cameron, saying he had "a responsibility to let people hear his case for the No campaign and for Scotland remaining under Westminster control".
The Sunday Herald has already revealed two examples of Westminster discussing independence with foreign governments.
In December, Downing Street's Scotland adviser Andrew Dunlop and a Cabinet Office official flew to Madrid to discuss the referendum with Mariano Rajoy's government.
With the visit coming soon after Rajoy had undermined the SNP by warning an independent Scotland would be left outside the EU, Alex Salmond accused the Spanish prime minister of plotting a "stitch-up" with Cameron.
The Sunday Herald also revealed how Russia's top news agency had reported Cameron's office was "extremely interested" in getting president Vladimir Putin's support for a No vote.
The SNP last night said the Devolution Unit's behind-the-scenes activity was "a disgrace".
The Unit's head appeared at Holyrood's European and External Relations Committee last July.
Annie McGee, a former vice-consul in Madrid, told MSPs: "Our focus is on working with the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and the Northern Ireland Executive on their foreign policy interests. I make sure visits overseas run smoothly and that there is the utmost co-operation with our posts. We work with colleagues in the Scottish Government ... to ensure areas of interest are explored as they should be."
Europe Minister David Lidington told MSPs at the same session the Unit was about co-operation. "We are building a working culture between the United Kingdom Government and the devolved administrations in which we co-operate effectively on European policy," he said.
"The Unit ... gives a bit more focused support to that co-ordination role, particularly with regard to the interests of the devolved administrations."
However, official UK government material suggests that, far from advancing the Scottish Government's case, or remaining neutral, the Devolution Unit is actively engaged in promoting Westminster's desire for a No vote.
Last week, after Foreign Secretary William Hague launched the latest in Westminster's Scotland Analysis papers on the problems which could face an independent Scotland, the FCO sent a diplomatic telegram, or "Diptel", message about the document to its staff overseas.
The Sunday Herald has seen its content. It said: "EU Posts are requested to circulate the paper ASAP to their host govts & other local contacts.
"Other posts particularly Washington, Ottawa, Canberra, Wellington & UK Rep Brussels may wish to do so.
"You should refer to previous FCO guidance sent to Posts on how to present the referendum work. "Report back to DEVO UNIT, FCO. Other local reaction (public or private) ASAP."
Other Diptel messages released to the pro-Yes National Collective group under Freedom of Information also show the Unit acting as a clearing house for reactions from overseas governments to Scottish independence.
Angus Robertson, the SNP's Westminster leader, said: "In public David Cameron has pledged that the referendum is for people in Scotland.
"In private he's using UK diplomats around the world to support the 'no' campaign.
"Governments internationally have said they won't get involved in this democratic debate in Scotland.
"It's a disgrace that the Prime Minister is breaking his word, encouraging foreign interventions while running scared of a debate with First Minister Salmond."
A Westminster source said the SNP's attack was "frankly quite ludicrous", as Salmond was in regular touch with other governments, and it was routine for the Westminster government to share information abroad, "especially about issues that have ramifactions outwith the UK".
A Downing Street spokesman added: "The SNP can debate about debates all they like. We are getting on with informing the debate with detailed analyses so that people can decide."

Drama at the Belgian Grand Prix
When Lewis Hamilton breezed over the finish line at the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa in first place this weekend, it seemed he had claimed yet another victory for his team. However drama struck when officials later decided to impose a 25-second penalty on Hamilton, pushing him back to third place and giving the victory to Felipe Massa two hours after the race had ended.
Massa Makes Light Work of Valencia Circuit
With the European Grand Prix starting at a new venue on Sunday, it was hard to predict who'd race the circuit the best and come out on top. The new circuit took the cars around the harbor streets of Valencia, Spain, providing a scenic backdrop to an exciting race. In the end it was Felipe Massa who took the checkered flag.
German Grand Prix Review
The German Grand Prix was perhaps one of the most unexpected races of the season. The surprising part wasn't that Lewis Hamilton took the winner's trophy, it was that the Ferrari Team performed dismally, with Massa only just managing to scrape together a third place.
Hamilton Wins British Grand Prix
The race day dawned with incredibly wet conditions that ultimately made for some wild racing, but it seems that Lewis Hamilton managed to overcome all the obstacles to take the checkered flag at the British Grand Prix this past Sunday.
French Grand Prix made for an Exciting Weekend
Formula One racing fans no doubt already know the results of this weekend's racing at Magny-Cours: Felipe Massa took the checkered flag followed closely by Kimi Raikkonen, with Jarno Trulli coming it at third place. Let us recap on this weekend's magnificent racing…

This has been proved a good food for our hermit crabs, we mix it with a powdered food but this stuff is always gone first. They seem to have healthy exoskeletons. My kids call them crabby patties, thus the title.
Pros: Supports healthy exoskeletons
Cons: Questionable as to mix it with other food or not

Artist Peter Stegall plays the (color) fields at Triple Base Gallery
Field day: Peter Stegall's An Equal Playing Field (2007).
By Ava Jancar
Triple Base guest curator Dina Dusko has organized an exhibition that opposes what has become known as the "regular" programming of the space. For this show, she has brought in the work of an established artist, Peter Stegall, rather than spotlighting a recent graduate of California College of the Arts. It has been decades since Stegall graduated with his MA in art from Sacramento State. That said, in past years, his work has not had much exposure within San Francisco proper.
Stegall's pieces - characterized by the hard-edged geometric forms common in paintings of the 1940s through '60s - seem initially as though they too could have been the product of another decade. While the columnar elements of a John McLaughlin or a Barnett Newman and the sweeping curves of a Lorser Feitelson are present, Stegall's paintings - although contemporary hybridizations of such mid-century masters - seem vastly different, experientially. While a vintage piece by Feitelson may appear cracked and aging, Stegall's works glisten. The gloss enamel paint on the small Masonite panels lack the imperfections of time - bringing fleetingly to mind the glossy surfaces of John McCracken's painted planks. In this respect, canonical references seem to break down, particularly when noticing the slightness of the panels themselves.
Averaging around 8 by 11 inches, the paintings do not emit an aura of grandeur similar to the works of his predecessors. Instead they seem like quiet studies in search of the beautiful. Stegall's use of a small brush to paint the surface of the panels may also account for their quaint size. He fills in each field of color using the same size brush, therefore leaving the definite mark of his hand.
Similarly, because he does not tape off the forms within the compositions - the slight waver of his hand, again, is recognizable in the transition from field to field. In spite of these omnipresent, albeit minuscule, gestural marks, the expressive quality of the brushwork does not take the fore. Rather, the relationships of colors next to one another and their optical effects gain resonance.
"An Equal Playing Field: New Work by Peter Stegall" runs through Feb. 17 at Triple Base Gallery, 3041 24th St., SF. Hours are Thursday-Sunday noon-5 p.m. (415) 643-3943. Artist lecture happens Feb. 10, 4-7 p.m.

America's Next Top Model alum Lisa D'Amato teamed up with interior designer and turquoise-la.com founder Vanessa De Vargas to create the ultimate baby room.
The ANTM All-Stars winner welcomed baby boy Daxel Vaughn with her husband, Adam Friedman, last September and they have finished sprucing up their little man's adorable play space. Vanessa met the model mom almost four years ago through their significant others and together created some adorable designs.
We caught up with Vanessa to get the scoop on Lisa's darling redesign.
How did you come up with the overall room design? You were talking and said it took you over two months?
It was pretty quick. Lisa came to me and said she really wanted a circus theme, so we've been kind of calling the room cirque du LA, which I thought was cute. In this case, we decided to do a little bit of that vintage and modern style, and so we pulled images from vintage circus. I just wanted a little collage, great storage for his little sunglasses, more books, hats, etc. It's nice to have these things out so that Lisa can pull from them.
How did you come up with this design?
I wanted a section where Lisa could pull different books or when the baby comes in he can pick which book he wants as she holds him coming into the room. It's also sort of becomes like this little library. A lot of the books are vintage, and some of them also came from Lisa's baby shower as well, and others came from The Land of Nod.
And the bookcase has vintage pieces as well as from Land of Nod, the D is vintage, the little clock is vintage, the piece of artwork found online, the Walt Disney book is actually Adam's book from when he was little, and I also found these incredible original series of nursery rhymes, like the Jungle Book.
What made you think of making the nursery black and white?
I've been wanting to do a black room for a while, and it's not something normal, obviously. But I think because the room has a lot of white, it bounces off all the black, and black is a versatile color. When I chose the black Valspar I decided to think of what colors were in a circus. Well, there's a lot of grey and there's a lot of red. So pulling from that was my inspiration.

"Extreme Couponing" returns Nov. 13
The fourth season of "Extreme Couponing" begins with back-to-back episodes at 9 and 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13 on TLC and features all new shoppers, stockpiles and strategies.
Details on a few of the standout savers included in the fourth season, provided by TLC, are as follows:
· Julie is a Colorado couponer whose dream job is to be paid to coupon. It looks like she'll finally have her chance when she answers an "extreme couponer wanted" ad for a Sober Home for teenage boys. To land her dream job, Julie must prove to Aaron, the home's founder, that she can score 2 weeks' worth of organic products for just $150, a difficult task that is made even harder by the boys' antics.
· In Georgia, couponing duo April and Chasity have outgrown their large stockpile rooms, and the only solution is to go even bigger. April convinces Chasity to join "the building club," and the two of them go shopping for backyard storage sheds to house their stockpiles. When April's husband Clint says he could coupon faster than April and Chasity, the battle lines are drawn, and the ladies put their husbands to the test by putting their coupon binders in the men's hands and sending them to the store.
· Most people have albums of baby photos and family vacations, but Georgia couponer Rudy collects photos of her grocery hauls. After every shopping trip, Rudy spends hours meticulously setting up her hauls so she can take a picture of them and hang on to the memories of her supermarket successes.
· New York couponer Susan is the original coupon queen. She has been couponing for over 40 years and saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process, paving the way for younger extreme couponers. She even has a coupon robot that mechanically sorts her thousands of coupons for her for each shopping trip. To commemorate her 40th anniversary of couponing, Susan will attempt to break her personal couponing record – $519 for $20 – and prove that even after 40 years, she's still got it.

The Business of Cooling The Planet
The risk of disruptive climate change grows every day. John Holdren, the White House science advisor, said last year that we have three options: Mitigate, adapt, suffer. If we don't mitigate (meaning reduce emissions), we'll have to adapt (move to new places, develop new crops, build sea walls). If we do neither, we'll suffer. But, as regular readers of this blog know, there's a fourth option–geoengineering.
Geoengineering is term used to describe planetary-scale technologies that are designed to counteract the climate effects of past greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere. I've been fascinated with geoengineering for about two years, and this week FORTUNE will publish my story, The Business of Cooling the Planet, about three startup companies that want to save the planet by capturing carbon dioxide from the air. This topic is so important that I'm planning to expand the story into a short e-book in the next couple of months.
The FORTUNE story begins by describing how Microsoft founder Bill Gates became an expert on climate and energy:
One of the cool things about being Bill gates is that if you are curious about something, you can find smart people who will teach you whatever it is that you want to know. About five years ago Gates decided that he wanted to learn about climate change, so he arranged for two of the world's leading climate scientists, David Keith of the University of Calgary in Alberta, Canada, and Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution, to organize a series of seminars. Since then, Keith and Caldeira have recruited scientists, energy experts, economists, and policy wonks to deliver about a dozen detailed presentations to Gates. He prepares by doing hundreds of pages of reading, some quite technical; the ensuing discussions, which last three or four hours, can be intense. "Bill has the intellectual curiosity of a very bright graduate student," Caldeira says, "but a graduate student whose time you are not supposed to waste."
This is no academic exercise. Gates has been convinced that the risk of global warming is worse than most people think. He can see that the world's governments have failed to curb the emissions caused by burning coal, oil, and natural gas. In June 2010 he put together a coalition of business leaders, including GE's Jeff Immelt, to urge Congress to invest more in clean-energy research, but that's not happening. So the Microsoft billionaire and philanthropist has stepped into the breach to become the world's leading funder of research into geoengineering— deliberate, large-scale interventions in the earth's climate system intended to prevent climate change and its repercussions.
Since 2007, Gates has given about $4.6 million of his money to Caldeira and Keith for geoengineering research. Intellectual Ventures, a private company funded in part by Gates, has explored such technologies as building an 18-mile-long hose, tethered by balloons, that would spray tiny particles into the stratosphere to block the sun's rays. Gates has even attached his name to a patent application for ocean-churning technology designed to sap the strength of hurricanes, which appear to be getting fiercer because of global warming.
The story goes on focus on three startup companies that are working on
A straightforward, albeit audacious, way to cool an overheating planet: Build many thousands of big machines to remove carbon dioxide from the air.
The companies are Carbon Engineering (in which Gates is an investor), Global Thermostat and Kilimanjaro Energy. They are all a long way from making any money from carbon dioxide removal, and indeed there are many skeptics who say the costs of pulling CO2 from the air are so high that it will never make business sense.
Still, the work these companies are doing is important for three reasons, all of which underscore the way carbon dioxide removal (CDR) differs from solar radiation management, the better-known geoengineering technology:
First, these companies are asking us to think about CO2 in a new way, not as a dangerous waste product or pollutant, but as a resource that can be captured, recycled and made into something new – potentially, carbon free fuels.
Second, unlike some of the quicker, cheaper and easier forms of geoengineering (like shooting tiny particles into the stratosphere to block the sun), carbon dioxide removal is relatively low-risk. Yes, there are real issues about what to do with the CO2 once it's captured from the air, but those should be manageable.
Third, while solar radiation management attempts to deal with the fact of climate change, i.e., a warming planet, carbon dioxide removal (CDR) goes right at the cause, by reversing the rising atmospheric concentrations of CO2. It's the closest thing we have to a time machine.
None of this is to suggest that dealing with the climate crisis will be easy. It won't be, particularly given the dismal state of climate politics in the U.S. But that's another reason to hope that one or more of these startups find success.

The Lowepro Edit 110 does more than just carry your camcorder — it carries all of your camcorder's accessories, too, so you're never stuck without a spare battery or memory card. Dual side pockets, a front zippered pocket, and internal mesh pockets provide plenty of room for storing all your accessories, including video cables and remotes. Plus, the padded interior has an internal divider that adjusts to fit snugly against your camcorder so it won't bounce around in transit. Carry this bag by the adjustable shoulder strap or comfort-grip handle.
The Edit 110 also has a SlipLock attachment tab, so you can add compatible Lowepro pouches and get more room for accessories.
Bought this for a Canon FS400 video camera, and its cords. Everything *just* fits in the bag, which is fine for me, as I don't plan to use it for anything else. The strap is a good length; the bag is lightweight and comfortable to wear cross-body. The zipper tabs make a slight chinking noise which I only mention because I could hear it in the background of a video I took while walking around :). A perfectly functional bag. Four stars simply because of its small size, though perhaps that's not quite fair on my part.
Pros: Good interior padding; lightweight; good strap length.
Design: The Lowepro Edit 110 is a flexible camcorder bag with a padded, comfort-grip handle, adjustable shoulder strap, and a SlipLock attachment loop. It has a padded interior with a soft tricot lining to protect your camcorder from scratches, and a padded divider for configuring the compartment as you desire. The zippered front pocket has a split internal stretch pocket for your memory cards and batteries. The two pleated side pockets have a hook-and-loop flap to keep things in place. In addition, the interior of the lid has a zippered mesh pocket for more small accessories.
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.

Article Summary
With many people using their smartphone's image capture capabilities as often as they use the device for making calls, it's not surprising that manufacturers continue to beef up smartphone camera credentials.

My Turian Gal by NightlyreWatch
©2014-2016 Nightlyre
Here's my turian lady mask-in-progress. There's still quite a bit I have left to do - mostly just painting on her patterns and doing her neck, but she's good enough to show. Like my Garrus, this gal's jaw moves and she has glass eyes. Good vision, too... I learned a lot of lessons from my Garrus mask! She's called Andora, but I haven't decided on her surname yet.
Got a female turian OC you'd love to cosplay, or Nyreen? I'm doing a limited run of raw resin kits over on the website. Take a look: www.rednebulastudios.com/?page…
Looking awesome! Can't wait to see her finished!
So cool! Great job! Watching the progress has been so fun! :-D
It'll be very different walking around as her at PCC... anticipating a lot of, "what are you supposed to be?" or people assuming I'm Nyreen - who looks completely different. I'm just going to tell them humans all look alike too, hehe.
Thats pretty freakin cool.
your welcome.
People must think the Turians are invading when you arrive at a con
People must think the Turians are invading when you arrive at a con
jajajajaj está la raja
this is lovely! excellent work! I love seeing more turians
Very nice! Interesting look too. Someone I'd like to meet...but not in a dark alley.
Aw! You haven't even seen her sharp pointy teeth yet! She's nice, though. Maybe a little sarcastic, I'm still working out a character for her. I do know she's a xenobiologist, and doesn't tend to frequent dark alleys, so you're safe.
I don't know what it is about female turians, but I think they look hot.
I'm probably a very sick man.
I'm probably a very sick man.
You think they look hot because they ARE hot, plainly! (Or I'm also a sick woman. Not sure which )
Испугал >.<
Она доброжелательный, не страшно! (Я надеюсь, что это перевод имеет смысл; я использовал Google )
Impressive work!
You never cease to amaze
Damn, this is just amazing!
Wow! That's awesome!
That looks AMAZING! Can't wait to see the final result!
Ridiculously impressive stuff!

Training camp - Day two
EN reader Cara Cassella went to training camp today and sent us a brief report on yesterday's events as well as a few photos:
"Apparently Kevin Veilleux is trying to become the next coach killer... um I mean Jaromir Jagr. He totally took out Michel Therrien's skates, Therrien fell, left the ice immediately and returned later miraculously able to use plurals. Also Janne Pesonen was not wearing his gold helmet but was sporting an awesome fluorescent green mouth guard. The white team (Sidney Crosby's) won, 2-0. A fun time was had by all. After I was this close to getting Sid's autograph but the idiots around me rushed his car and slammed into it. He got mad and left. I can't blame him though that was just rude. Oh, and rest assured the Dunkin Donuts logo is still there."
-Mark Eaton should avoid operating large machinery.
-Evgeni Malkin liked Petr Sykora's goal in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final just as much as you did.
-Kris Beech is happy to be back in Pittsburgh.
-Ryan Stone and Jonathan Filewich didn't play in yesterday's scrimmage.
-Dave Gove is trying to impress Penguins management.
-Faceoff-Factor has a report on Day 2 of camp.
-Fighting has been banned in camp.
-EN Reader Jackie Wise spotted this music video devoted to Sidney Crosby:
Former Penguins forward Matthew Barnaby will replace Barry Melrose for ESPN's two minutes of monthly hockey coverage.
Atlantic Division
-Former Penguins goaltender Jean-Sebastien Aubin signed a one-year deal with the Flyers. With backup goaltender Antero Niittymaki dealing with hip issues, the Flyers needed some depth at the position.
Northeast Division
-The median household income of Pominville just went up by $26.5 million. The Sabres signed forward Jason Pominville signed a five-year deal.
Southeast Division
-The Panthers will bring defenseman Jassen Cullimore to camp on a tryout basis.
-Personalized license plates for Capitals fans are available in Maryland and Virginia. We assume once you purchase them, you can sell them to Penguins fans for marked up prices and complain when someone calls you out on it. (Kudos to EN commenter G-Man for the find.)
-As shocking as it might seem, Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin doesn't put a lot of thought into his hair care.
-With Justin Williams on the shelf with a leg injury, the Hurricanes might have to turn to Jeff O'Neill to replace some of Williams' offense.
Central Division
-Blues defenseman Erik Johnson hurt his knee while golfing. What is it about hockey players getting hurt on golf courses?
-Even with Marian Hossa in town, Red Wings forward Dan Cleary doesn't expect his playing time to decline.
Northwest Division
-With some encouragement from Jaromir Jagr, assistant coach Wayne Fleming has agreed to coach Jagr's team in the KHL, Avangard Omsk.
Pacific Division
-Stars defenseman and former Penguin Sergei Zubov is dealing with a hip injury.
-The Kings have yet to re-sign restricted free agent forward Patrick O'Sullivan.

Opinion + Organ donation
We badly need more donated kidneys. Let's start paying for themShmuly YanklowitzThe black market for organs is thriving, but exploitative, and only of use if you're wealthy or well-connected. We need to find a better way
A system of presumed consent seems a blindingly obvious solution to the problem, and presents no threat to an individual's right to choose
The paediatric consultant at the centre of the uplifting story of the boy who lived for 100 minutes explains why he decided organ donation was ethical and celebrates a precious legacy
More than 100 children's lives could have been saved if more couples shared the courage of Jess Evans and Mike Houlston, the parents of Britain's youngest donor

Who deserves a new liver? Anyone who needs oneBarbara EllenBarbara Ellen: Denying life-saving treatment to those who have brought illness on themselves amounts to ethical means-testing
Paul C McLean: Organ transplant is humanity at its best only when the organs are procured in a moral way and recipient selection is just
A new strategy to increase organ donations could see patients on the organ donor register prioritised for transplants themselves. Is this fair?
The UK needs new organ donation law, and fastSharon BrennanSharon Brennan: As the need for transplants rises each year, Wales should be commended, not criticised, for introducing opt-out organ donation
Arwa Mahdawi: People don't realise how much their data, freely shared on Facebook, is worth to brands who anticipate every move

Richard Sugg: The spread of illegal transplant tourism is causing horrific abuses. We must find a way to stop it
A report from the Nuffield Council on Bioethics suggests that the NHS should pay for the funerals of organ donors to boost the number of organs available for transplant operations. Do you agree?
Do your bit for the rich. Sell your body partsKevin McKennaKevin McKenna: A market in human organs is certainly one way of dealing with the irresponsible poor
Decoding the news Time to allow cash for kidneys?Sarah Boseley

Applicants for driving licenses will now be required to state whether they want to be organ donors, following a recommendation from the government's "nudge unit", in a bid to boost numbers. Is is fair to force a decision like this?
Delegates to the British Medical Association's annual conference will debate a system of presumed consent for organ donation. But would you opt out of donating your organs?
Response: I was offered organs for my patients from donors with leukaemia and Hodgkin's disease, says René Chang
Joel Braunold: Orthodox Jews should be free to make their own decisions about what constitutes death
Response: There is only a problem when the duties to honour life and to save life are in conflict, says Jonathan Sacks
The people's panel: As the government announces a new scheme to increase donor numbers, five Cif readers tell us their thoughts and experiences

Laurence Isaacson: It is a disgrace that the UK has one of the lowest organ donor rates in the western world
You told us Follow Wales's lead on organ donationCarl Packman
Carl Packman: Never mind the queasiness – to cut deaths among those waiting for organs the whole UK must copy the Welsh opt-out system

Editorial: Examining the ethics of transplants may shed light on why Britain's rate of organ transplant is among the worst in the developed world
Medical experts have suggested rewards for organ donors, such as an expenses-paid funeral, or souvenir mugs and t-shirts. Should donors be materially rewarded?

Orange County Horse Properties for Sale
There are many areas in Orange County that feature horse properties for sale or lease. Orange County is not just about beautiful beaches and surfing! Orange County horse properties are typically found in the following cities: Anaheim Hills, Coto De Caza, Fullerton, Laguna Hills, North Tustin, San Juan Capistrano, Yorba Linda, and Villa Park. They can also be found in several unincorporated areas such as the Santiago Canyon Areas including Silverado Canyon, Modjeska Canyon, and Trabuco Canyon. Most cities have strict zoning and rules regarding equestrian use so I would encourage you to always verify that the horse property you are considering meets your intended use as it is always better to be safe than sorry.
There are many horse properties listed in the Orange County MLS that are zoned "Equestrian". Listings include homes, ranches, and lots that are equestrian zoned - some are "improved" and some are simply raw land zoned equestrian and will require work to truly accommodate horses. Given the wide range of properties in this category we request that you simply contact us below sharing your specific needs and we will promptly send you all listings that will meet your needs.
Contact an Orange County Realtor to View Equestrian Properties
Contact David Grbich for more information regarding any Orange County horse property for sale or lease. I would welcome the opportunity to assist you and earn your business - 949-500-0484.

The Stratford Zoo Midnight Revue Presents Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet. A classic pair. And who better to play them than…a rooster and a bear?
Once again, the animals of the Stratford Zoo are performing Shakespeare like you've never seen it– with fangs, feathers, tails, and most importantly, heart.
Ian Lendler's hilarious tale of after-hours animal stagecraft is perfectly paired with the adorable, accessible artwork of Zack Giallongo (Broxo, Ewoks) in this side-splitting companion to their graphic novel The Stratford Zoo Midnight Revue Presents Macbeth.
"This innovative and intelligent reimagining hits all the notes of the Bard's famous play yet manages to put enough of a spin on it to keep it fresh and novel…Those too young to appreciate the original play will certainly grasp this cleverly anthropomorphized, lushly envisioned graphic romp, not realizing how effectively they are being set up for the original later on."
– Kirkus Reviews (starred review) READ MORE
"One sign of promise is when an idea seems so obvious that it's a wonder it hasn't done before. A midnight zoo production of Macbeth, by animals for animals? Of course!... Like any fine comic idea, once the structure is put into place, the laughs come effortlessly. This is the Bard at his broadest."
–Publisher's Weekly (starred review) READ MORE
"With its gruesome murders, Macbeth might not seem the most obvious of Shakespeare's plays to be adapted into a children's graphic novel, but by placing the play as a story within a story, Lender and Giallongo make it work…[This] is a delightful introduction to the Bard's work that won't overwhelm young readers."
–School Library Journal
