AUSTRALIA, WATCHMEN MOTION COMIC, WONDER WOMAN and BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA hit Blu-ray and DVD on March 3, along with the DVD releases of SPONGEBOB VS. THE BIG ONE and volumes of CHOWDER and THE SMURFS.
AUSTRALIA on DVD and Blu-ray
Venture down under into an epic and romantic action-adventure set in a country on the brink of war when AUSTRALIA debuts on Blu-ray and DVD March 3 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Ent. with vfx by Animal Logic, Photon VFX, Complete Post, Digital Pictures Iloura, Evil Eye Pictures, Framestore, Fuel VFX, Hydraulx, The LaB Syndney, Lola Visual Effects and Rising Sun Pictures.
Filmed on-location in the vast outback, AUSTRALIA marks Baz Luhrmann's third collaboration with Nicole Kidman and is the first feature film produced as part of a planned trilogy of epic works. The film also represents the work of his wife and creative partner, double Oscar-winning costume designer Catherine Martin (MOULIN ROUGE!, ROMEO + JULIET). Featuring performances from many Aussie natives, the film also stars David Wenham (THE LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING), Jack Thompson (MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL), Bryan Brown (ALONG CAME POLLY) and young Aboriginal Brandon Walters in his feature film debut.
Set in Australia on the brink of World War II, Lady Sarah Ashley, an English Aristocrat (Kidman), travels to the faraway continent where she has inherited a cattle ranch, owned by her late husband. When Australian cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn local known as The Drover (Hugh Jackman) to drive 2,000 head of cattle across hundreds of miles of the country's most unforgiving land, only to still face the bombing of Darwin by the Japanese forces that had attacked Pearl Harbor. When tragedy strikes and Lady Sarah becomes unofficial guardian to a "half-caste" boy, the unlikely couple must come to terms with a prejudiced society, dishonorable business associates and the impending arrival of the Japanese.
Luhrmann tapped Rising Sun Pictures, based in Sydney and Adelaide, to create more than 150 shots for the film, including animating the cattle for the drove sequences using the facility's in-house crowd system, Posse.
CG Supervisor Carsten Kolve says that when Rising Sun started on the project 18 months ago, it evaluated all the crowd system options and stuck with Posse.
"We basically decided the amount of work that it takes to integrate it into our pipeline might as well be spent investing into our own infrastructure and bringing that up to speed and then not having to deal with issues like high license costs," he explains.
Posse also was already tied into Venom, Rising Sun's in-house 3D infrastructure. Venom's ability to let visual effects artists create geometry as late as the render phase provided the kind of flexibility the project required, Kolve adds.
"We're dealing with just skeletons most of the time directly in Maya and then, when it comes to render time, we would actually bind the skeleton with the geometry applied the shader and render the complete individual cow or many of them on demand, which made the whole rendering process very efficient," he says.
Blu-ray Special Features Include:
-- Australia: The people, the history, the location featurette-- Deleted Scenes-- Behind-the-Scenes: Photography, Production Design, Costume Design, Locations, Cinematography, Sound, Editing, Music, Visual Effects
DVD Special Features Include:
-- Deleted Scene: What about the drove?-- Deleted Scene: Angry staff serve dinner
BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA on DVD and Blu-ray
A pampered pooch gets caught up in a "ruff"-and-tumble comedy adventure in BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA, available on DVD and Blu-ray on March 3, 2009 from Walt Disney Studios Home Ent. When a diamond-clad, bootie-wearing Beverly Hills beauty gets lost on a Mexican vacation, she proves that good things really do come in small packages. The film's vfx was by Tippett Studio, Cinesite, Image Engine Design, K.N.B. Effects Group, Kerner Optical, Proof, Realscan 3D and Svengali Visual Effects.
Bonus features include an all-new animated short, deleted scenes and bloopers -- plus Blu-ray exclusives that take viewers behind-the-scenes of the breakout hit that has captured the hearts of families and canine lovers across the nation. Beverly Hills Chihuahua features live-action performances from Jamie Lee Curtis and Piper Perabo, the voice talents of Drew Barrymore, George Lopez, Andy Garcia, Cheech Marin and Paul Rodriguez, and 200 of the cutest canines north or south of the border.
In the 13 years since the talking animals of BABE earned a visual effects Oscar for Rhythm & Hues, we've seen increasingly articulate menageries on screen. BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA features a chattering class comprised of all manner of pooches, voiced by an enviable cast that includes Drew Barrymore, Andy Garcia, George Lopez, Edward James Olmos, Cheech Marin and Paul Rodriguez. Director Raja Gosnell also brought his experience integrating digital character animation into live action films, having directed two movies starring SCOOBY DOO.
But BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA required more than the muzzle replacements of real dogs and a bevy of their digital doubles. It also called for all-CG animals that could deliver lines and look real enough to be believable alongside photographed dogs. "This movie is very much in the vein of SHAGGY DOG," says James W. Brown, animation supervisor at Tippett Studio. The Northern California shop has become known for its animation of CG critters, especially recent characters like Templeton the Rat in CHARLOTTE'S WEB and the chipmunk Pip in ENCHANTED. BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA featured two CG critters that had to have acting chops: The hyper Manuel the Rat (voiced by Marin) and the laid back Iguana Chico (Rodriguez). "Yes, another rat," laughs Brown. "We've got rats down pretty good. But this is a family film, so we didn't go for complete realism. We didn't want anybody to be grossed out by a rat."
DVD Special Features Include:
-- LEGEND OF THE CHIHUAHUA -- an all-new animated short-- Blooper Scooper-- Deleted Scenes-- Audio Commentary (Widescreen Only)
BEVERLY HILLS CHIHUAHUA on Blu-ray contains all of the DVD bonus features, plus the following exclusives:-- Pet Pals: The Voices Behind the Dogs-- Hitting the Bark: On Set with the Dogs of Beverly Hills Chihuahua-- Additional Deleted Scenes-- BD-Live
CHOWDER Vol. 2 on DVD
Now on DVD from Warner Home Video and Cartoon Network, this volume includes the following CHOWDER episodes:
"The Wrong Address"/"The Wrong Customer""The Burple Nurple Stand"/"Shnitzel Makes A Deposit""Gazpacho Stands Up"/"A Taste Of Marzipan""The Puckerberry Overlords"/"The Elemelons""Sniffleball"/"Mung On The Rocks"
Marzipan City is a place where anything can happen and the unorthodox is commonplace. In the middle of this bizarre city is a quaint little shop known as Mung Daal Catering, which is owned by Mung Daal, one of the most accomplished chefs and well known in the entire world. However, things have become a bit hectic in the kitchen as of late, as Mung Daal has recently acquired a young apprentice named Chowder, whom he wishes to pass along all of his knowledge towards. Chowder is an energetic young lad who wishes to become the greatest chef in the world, but his love of food and his extremely short attention span often results in him causing unintended havoc.
However, theyre not alone. Truffles works at Mung Daal Catering and she takes the orders that her husband, Mung Daal, must prepare. Shnitzel, a rock monster, also helps out in the kitchen as he has worked for Mung Daal for years. Along the way, theyll meet the many colorful and zany residents of Marzipan City, though there will always be new dishes to prepare and exciting recipes to follow.

A Jacksonville church's plan to use a dead vulture to ward away the live ones seems to be working.
The Daily News of Jacksonville reported (http://bit.ly/XK2VIU) that Bethlehem Baptist Church contracted with the U.S. Agriculture Department to use vulture effigies to ward away live birds that were destroying the church roof.
The effigies are a taxidermist-prepared vulture body attached to a decoy head because real bird heads disintegrate too quickly.
The dead bird went up about a month ago. Vultures that used to flock to the church roof now hang out elsewhere.
The USDA also has used bird effigies to reduce the potential for bird strikes on military planes, including at New River and Cherry Point air stations. The USDA hung effigies from the water towers in Jacksonville and Havelock.

Kreg hits the deck
Kreg has introduced a new method of securing deck boards to the framing without unsightly screw heads poking up from every board. The method works similar to Kreg's pocket hole jig. The deck jig has three holes to guide the drill bit and driver: the two outside holes sit 45 degrees to the center hole.
To use the jig, first place a couple of spacers (the red items in the photo below) between the deck boards to get the proper spacing. Read more

Nature usually knows best. When it comes to landscaping our yards, we can all emulate nature by using xeriscape techniques to create a lush, attractive, and water saving yard. The word xeriscape is a combination of the Greek word "xeros," which means dry, and landscape. Put together, xeriscape means "dry landscape." Xeriscaping does not mean letting your yard go untouched and growing weeds.
Instead, xeriscape takes advantage of naturally occurring, water frugal plants that happen to be extremely attractive. Landscapes can use large amounts of our drinking water. As valuable as drinking water is in the Valley of the Sun, it makes sense to use plants that minimize water use and water waste. Arizona's hot and dry climate causes extremely high evaporation rates. Combine that with the low average rainfall in the Phoenix area and its obvious why xeriscape is the way to go. Xeriscape is not zero-scape (rock/granite only).
Xeriscape makes sense.
It's attractive, it conserves water, and it requires little maintenance.
Xeriscape: Landscaping With Style In The Arizona Desert. A step-by-step guide for planning, installing and caring for your landscape.
The ADWR Phoenix AMA Drought Tolerant / Low Water Use Plant List is a list of native, drought-tolerant and low water-use plants, trees and shrubs suitable for the Phoenix area. This list and a supplemental list are used as a regulatory document by many cities to decide which plants are considered to be drought-tolerant and suitable for the Phoenix area.

Suwannee County, FL - Counties grappling with flood waters may be able to get some help soon.

I'm a newbie here and I would like to respond to Logress' post in the front page. Spare my English since I'm a 7 year old kid.
The way I see your kickstarter being made is subpar appealing in overall imo compared to other CCG&TCG of your league. Generally what Alteil offer VISUALLY is indeed excellent but the TECHNICAL (not gameplay) side of it is discouraging in the eyes of some possible newcomers.
What are the things that appeal?
1. Card arts = bithcslapped all TCG, CCG and CTCG so far.
2. Propaganda = nice.
It's good to have the popular site to write something about Alteil, even better if you can get the big sites (IGN alike) to feature Alteil. I see you're working for the articles very hard, I wish you the best.
3. New main site = sexy.
Improve this by adding the most successful combo of game element : Hero, Heroine, Villain, Badass Monster, and Cuteness (obsidian buncle seems to have the pokemon appeal). Alteil does have the arts to fit these elements, choose wisely and show them off on the main page, and modify the page a bit so it can auto resize for smaller screen.
4. Battle grid = erotic.
Groawrrrrrr. Nyaaaaaannnnn. Pew pew. If you know what I mean.
5. Early birds pledge = orgasmic.
Improve this by expanding the limit. This one seems to be the best offer. There's a chance that people will pledge or not just by seeing this offer availability. For them it's either pledge or leave. It's a good feeling to be one of lucky early bird dontcha think?
What are the thing that meh, pffft and bloody discouraging?
1. Amazon Payment = meh.
Only people who can sign up to amazon can pledge wtf??? There should be a pledge option for outside US, what I'm trying to say is the 0 USD pledge kinda thing. I saw a kickstarter page that done this (I don't remember which, don't have link), it is closely something like below:Pledge a donation: For our international user that is unable to pay with amazon you can pledge a donation (xxUSD). You can start your fund transfer if we reach 80% target 10 days before funding period ends. Please contact us with donation details using your kickstarter.
2. Stretch goals component = pffft.
You put your auction house in stretch goal, but you're going to implement it anyway?? I think there's a crowdfunded movie that uses DYNAMIC STRETCH GOAL. This one is better suited for auction house and alike. How does it work?? See below:
i. ($70k) TBA: Dec 2014
Auction House
Premium features #1 etc…
ii. ($100k) TBA: Oct 2014
Auction House
Premium features #1 etc…
iii. ($120k) TBA: Sep 2013
Auction House
Premium features #1 etc…
iv. ….
v. ($12M): TBA day after funding ends
Auction House
Premium features #1 etc…vi. Dynamic goal are meant to cover expenses that closely related to your manpower and resourcing. Such as bigger fund means more programmers and job done faster. Though this is superficial, at least this will tell pledgers that THEY WILL HAVE IT NO MATTER WHAT, just question of time. Well each feature can have different TBA, do it as you see fit. If you manage to release thing earlier than TBA promised of the funded amount, it is a good image for your game and admins/dev.
3. Forum = bloody discouraging.
ACID, BLOOD, CANCER, DISEASE, PHLEGM and ABOMINATION.
Believe it or not, no matter how good you hide your forum, gamers nature will always seek for the games forum as it is 50% of the game imo. It's human nature to be curious dontcha think?
MAEK UH NEWH PHORUM PHOR ALTEIL HORIZON!!!It works just like a counter skill: If newplayer look for Alteil forum, show AH forum. This way you will superficially telling them that our rotten forum did not exist.IMPHORTANTEH: Get AH forum up before starting kickstarter, flood it with strategy guide, legacy gameplay vids, starter prediction etc… to give a good appeal to possible AH new player. MODS will have to INDISCRIMINATELY delete post that is flaming, ranting, monetary related thread and anything that is not helping. Of course you have to be careful not to piss off newcomer asking stupid questions.
What is great to have/show but not extremely necessary?
1. Gameplay Videos
Good job having a gameplay vid like EN, in the commentary are tutorial like, which is a good thing. Keep it.
To make thing spicier, get any experienced player to do commentary vid of actual battle with all the drama and emotion of joy, rage, scream and orgasmic moan. This will make alteil look exciting for newbies. It is quite effective to gain playerbase, seen it works in other MMO.
What are the things you left out?
1. Good catch phrase alike:
Being said that advertising your monetary model directly like F2P, it's bad since Alteil is not accurately F2P. Think of something new such as "Playing is Collecting", it should give a vague idea that Alteil can be play for free.
IMPORTANTEUZ: Think of cool phrase such as:"Game for Strategist" or "Game Designed for Strategist" instead of "Strategy Game". Don't describe your game, describe your players. Your reader will have an impression like "Owh! I'm indeed smart and genius, this game is for me!""Brain does Matter" instead of "Challenging Game". This is called as something like Subconscious Provocation/Challenge which is positive; don't remember exact term but it is widely used OP weapon in adv industry as its mission is to get readers to feel subconsciously challenged and curious. Psychology FTW!!!Claim yourself as CTCG instead of CCG or TCG. Cards are COLLECTIBLE (appease spender) and TRADEABLE (appease freeplayer), nuff said."Online turn-based tactics card game with a battle grid by creators of Star Ocean & Valkyrie Profile. Artists from Zelda & Final Fantasy". Please reword and make the sentence fancier, this sentence tells me that you're not excited enough, too dull especially the Artist part, are you lazy???Get help from linguistic specialist in adv industries. Or get a modern dictionary. Or studies existing cool advertisement phrases.
2. Playable demos
Good thing that you're working on it.
3. Volume
Get the big sites to publish articles about AH 1st day of kickstarter, if it is out before your kick starter start, they might not found your KS page, and forget about it next day.
Have AH featured in Kongregate and alikes, in the 1st day of KS. It is good if you can integrate Kong, but don't go for facebook I BEG YOUHH (current trend is destroying games), u'll have more haters than likers.
TRUE STORY: I'm a forum mod for a game that destroyed by its FB debut which:Before FB debut: small player base (very much like alteil).After FB debut: same small player base + haters that rage about their page being flood by stupid request/invitation and annoyed their friends.AFTER KONG DEBUT&FB APP KILLED: playerbase X 6 + same haters (turned to trolls) from FB + POSITIVE KIDS from KONG.Conclusion? Skip FB nuff said. It's bad having haters to linger around the forum enough to make me quit modding and discourage other player. Seriously there are 40+ DG over there after 3 month of FB debut. Alteil is lucky to have only one. Build strong forum community first then it is ok to consider FB.
4. Donation
What you can do is provide the EARLY BIRDS for people outside US in 0 USD pledge form. The rewards should be a bit inferior from US early birds, to avoid the US pledgers to go for this instead. Or just state that this pledge option will be available at let say 80% if it reached 7 days before funding period ends. Note: it is very sad that I can't pledge even though it is within my wallet capacity (look at my $ spending log will you Logress??). Living in different continent is sad
5. As I mentioned before, add link to forum, and it's a good thing if you update your AH progress over there.
I have a lot to talk about premium features and your stretch goal in detail, but I'll do it later. I have to go to my kindergarten, or my cute ultra-revealing teacher will scold me softly.
Your Grandpa.
Ps: Logress & GGG, put your baby inside buncle costume, make it cute AH release alternate art FTW!!!
Ps: MysteryMan, I admire the buncle on your shoulder. Don't deny it I know it is not a cat.

The Vulcar Ingot is a car available in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V. After Niko Bellic collects all thirty cars for Stevie, Stevie agrees to purchase cars from Niko with the Ingot fetching $0.
DesignThe Ingot is a station wagon which in general resembles the Volkswagen Passat Mk4, bearing some similarties to the Nissan Stagea WC34 (note the taillights and the side profile). Its engine noise is high-pitched, reminiscent of Volkwagen's trademark VR5 and VR6 engines (most likely a VR6 because it has 6 manifold pipes indicating a 6 cylinder engine), as seen in the fourth-generation VW Jetta; both have less than 200 horsepower. The Ingot is not as performance-oriented as the Stagea, despite sporting racing pedals and a racing steering wheel.
The Ingot has a low-powered 6 cylinder engine, coupled to a 4 speed gearbox in an FR drivetrain layout. The Ingot isn't very fast; after finding 4th gear, the car hesitates or cannot up-shift at all when on wide-open throttle. Its engine is not resilient, and may stop working after only a few crashes. The Ingot does, however, have decent handling, and its suspension is not too hard or too soft, making it perfect for regular street driving in Liberty City. It can go 0-60 in 12.3 seconds with a top speed of 150 MPH (250 KM/H). It is worth about $10,000.
A special "VD90R" variant of the car can occasionally be found in GTA IV; it's an Ingot with removed badging and new grill, a small spoiler with a small body kit, and candy red paint. This variant is driven by the Russian Mafia. Is based on the Nissan Stagea 260RS Autech Version.
- In Grand Theft Auto IV, the two default radio stations in the Ingot are Massive B Soundsystem 96.9 and Tuff Gong Radio. In Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony and Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned the default radio station is RamJam FM.
- The Ingot lacks an exhaust pipe in both Stock and VD90R trims yet a trail of fumes are visible.
- The Ingot is one of the only cars which cannot be sold to Stevie after completing all thirty car thefts, even in perfect condition.
- Ingot means "block of metal, (typically oblong in shape)", which could be a reference to the car's lack of value and it's very square and linear design.
- Driving an Ingot around seems to spawn the Securicar and is seen driving around, this happens a lot faster in West and Central Algonquin.
The Ingot is rarely seen in West Broker, where the Russian presence is strong. But, they can be found too in Bohan. The VD90R variant is usually found in the Hove Beach area, where it is driven by Russian Mafia members. Otherwise, the car is very rare in GTA IV, being much more frequent in GTA Chinatown Wars.
Spawns more frequently when driving a Hakumai.
- Grand Theft Auto V

Comments On Apr 08, 2013:Fits tight and very little adjustability. It rides high in the stomach area and for me its a little bite of a pain. While the price point is amazing, I would like to see more protection in the chest. Very little protection via the plastic guards. There is more padding then actual plastic protection. I am looking at getting the Fox Titan suit as a replacement as it is CE certified and offers better chest protection.

Comments On Dec 28, 2012:Ok guys... I'll admit it. I have the ol' belly a lot of us have. I'm 225lbs and i'm 5'9. I'm thicker around the midsection, and my fiance bought this for me as a christmas present. Long story short, it doesnt even come NEARLY large enough. I'm an XL in all tops. This thing, no joke was 4 inches away from being able to zip up. Unless you're rail thin, dont buy. If you're a size L, get the XL!!!!!!!! If you're a medium, get the XL!

Comments On Mar 11, 2011:Not impressed. Hot, thight in the chest, back protector hits the back of my helmet as the ride goes on and the jacket starts lifting on the body. Front plastic protectors very small and almost getting in the way rather than providing assurance. I am quite sure I bought the correct size. Similar products used: EVS balistic jacket (very good) and Thor impact rig (excellent).

Comments On Mar 11, 2011:i feel much safer wearing this than a regular coat w/out any protection.
im 6' tall, and almost 200lbs, w/a 43" chest and a slight spare tire. it also has an extra kidney belt. that part is necessary...if you have an option to get with a kidney belt, do it...as it totally secures the lower spine panels too.
the large fits me perfect, and i now have spine protection from my shoulders to below my belt.
i like how all the extra guards have their own Velcro straps to keep them taught, and in place, i haven't wrecked but will write another review if i ever get its full potential.
this is a much better value than separate armor and this has the best spine protection i have seen yet.
also, the straps are additional rash protection where the plastic gaurds are the heavy hitting areas...
also, the forearms (among other vulrnerable areas) have an additional weaving and padding for low hanging limbs and/ or road/ dirt rash prevention.
a lot of thought went into this, and it shows.
im really happy with this.

Comments On Mar 10, 2011:Good for the price but warm. Only used it in winter so far, and it keep you very warm. Not sure it will be bearable in the summer.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Mar 01, 2011:for the price this is absolutely to most protection youll get. it has saved my skin several times.
the down side is its hot and doesnt breath real well. summers in az this thing is suicide. in the winter its fine but doesnt fit as well as the more $$ brands.

Comments On Dec 16, 2010:This body armors alright-- its good light-armor, not weight wise, but protection-wise. The movement is fine, because the plastic armor plates are not very substantial. Friends ride different brand armor, and they have more protection, but this seems to have easier movement. Elbow pads could be better. Size definitely run BIG, so get it one smaller size for a nice snug fit.

Comments On Dec 09, 2010:I like the looks and function...but the zipper in on the wrong side for a man and it was a perfect fit for my skinny wife. It was ordered as an XL man. Buy it for your wife

Comments On Oct 28, 2010:Product offers O.K. protection, little on the heavy side, specially after starting to sweat. Elbow protection could be better. Sizes run bigger. It's a good first body armor. Value is good.

Comments On Jun 14, 2010:I bought this body armor, but the sizes run small and it didnt fit, instead of paying return shipping I talked a racer friend of mine to buy it from me for the purchase price and try it the next day while racing, he came over for the race since I lived close to where the race was being held. Next day I get a call he had crashed hard and was on his way to the hospital, Broken hand, Bruised chest where it impacted with the armor, but nothing else broken! The armor didnt survive the impact but performed its job well! Talking later he said he said if it had not been for the armor he would have been way worse off, his bike had a bent subframe and other damage but money can fix that, thanks Rocky mountain!

Summer Reading at Walkertown Branch this June and July leaves us feeling thankful and happy. We celebrate along with our winners and acknowledge the many presenters who shared their time and talents.
From local movie-makers Wayne and Olena Crawford in mid-June to local model rocket instructors Ann and Art Riddle on July 30, 18 adults shared
lRonald McDonald inspired us to read, and the Wake Forest Museum of Anthropology taught us about archaeology.
Children decorated our sidewalk with sidewalk chalk grafitti, watched a fun film about gnomes, and made rock monsters out of river stones.
Our regular programs of Storytime and Music and Movement had great attendance! We read, danced, and giggled our way through the summer. Teens were amazed by the mind-reading chicanery of Erik Dobell and learned about the writing process by local author Cindy Cipriano.
Overall, our summer programs for children and teens were 1430 people strong! Children turned in 176 reading logs and teens turned in 401 reading logs! We had 762 Adult reading logs turned in which means our adult readers have read 2286 books in two month! What a great lead in reading, parents! We are thankful to our Walkertown patrons for their support of the library and hope you all enjoyed FCPL's Summer Reading Program.
Walkertown Branch Library winners from each age category are as follows: Gerrie E. (adult), Emily B. (teen), Jackson Y. (child).
Congratulations to all our winners and participants! There is still a chance to win the Summer Reading grand prize. The drawing for a $100.00 gift certificate will take place next week at the Central library.

Six BirdLife Partners in the Americas, together with the global Rio Tinto-BirdLife program and local conservation groups, have successfully completed three years of conservation efforts for migratory birds along the Interior-Pacific flyways. These efforts have built on an existing initiative, "Linking Communities", at three key sites (complexes of IBAs) in North America, and have supported the planning and implementation of conservation and education actions at six IBAs in South America.
A new book detailing the biodiversity of one of the most remarkable forests in Madagascar, Tsitongambarika, has just been published.
"Consideration of sustainability must become mainstream in all sectors of society. I think we are now starting to see a growing trend towards business reputations, best practices and the economic bottom line being linked to how effectively they incorporate biodiversity into their agendas."

FORT WAYNE (www.incnow.tv) - The Lake County Captains plated four runs in the eighth inning to take the lead en route to a 9-6 win over the TinCaps Saturday night, Fort Wayne's first home loss of the young season.
The Caps got two run homers from Brian Adams and Gabriel Quintana and three times held two run leads, but surrendered each one.
The Captains went ahead in the eighth on a two run double by Jorge Martinez and weathered a Fort Wayne rally in the ninth when the TinCaps loaded the bases but failed to score.
The TinCaps, now 5-4 finish their four game series with Lake County on Sunday.

The Dar es Salaam based non-governmental organisation Under The Same Sun (UTSS) has decried ongoing threats against people with skin disability, saying the situation is creating fear in the victims.
UTSS executive director Vicky Ntetema made the remarks recently in Dar es Salaam when addressing students from various secondary schools in the city at the screening of a film titled 'White and Black: Crimes of Colour' which depicts the killings of people with albinism.
The film has been directed by Jean-Francois Mean featuring Tanzanian journalist Vicky Ntetema.
Ntetema said that although the number of killings involving people with albinism had dropped threats against the group were still rampant.
"We can not say that the murders of people with albinism have been contained until the government stops taking these people to special centres to protect them from being attacked," she said.
She said a drop in the murder cases of people with albinism has been contributed to by a number of factors, including government efforts to fight the crime and public education on albinism.
She further said that cases related to albino killings filed at different courts in the country and the judgments which had been delivered were among factors which contributed to the drop.
Ntetema said public education on issues related to albinism was still crucial in fighting the crime in the country.
For his part, UTSS operations manager Education (Scholarship Fund) Gamariel Mboya said that his organisation was planning a tour to raise awareness about albinism in 37 secondary schools in the Lake Zone regions.
He said the awareness tour would be conducted this and next month and the primary tool would be the Swahili language version of the film, 'White and Black: Crimes of Colour', which was produced in 2009 at a time when, for two years running, the murders of people with albinism in lake zone averaged between 2 and 3 a month.
Mboya said the film's screening would be preceded by a short seminar on albinism and followed by a debate and discussion organised by Under The Same Sun but administered by leading members of the Lake Zone's Tanzania Albino Society.

Population ecology
(Image via Crash Course Population Ecology https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBOsqmBQBQk)
Population ecology is the field of ecology that focuses on the factors that affect the population size of a given organism, population growth rate, and spatial dispersion of individuals with populations. Demography is the subset of population ecology that studies statistics related to human populations.
Factors affecting population size
The only factors that can alter population sizes are births, deaths, immigration, and emigration. Births and immigration add individuals to a population whereas deaths and emigration remove individuals from a population. When more individuals are being added to a population than are being removed, the population increases in size. Alternatively, when more individuals are removed from the population than are added to the population the population decreases in size. Population sizes do not change when the rate that individuals are lost from a population is equal to the rate that individuals are added to the population (dynamic equilibrium).
Factors affecting population growth rates
Population growth rates are affected by interactions with both the abiotic and biotic environment. Climactic factors such as precipitation and temperature can have profound direct and indirect effects on population sizes. Temporal fluctuations in abiotic conditions can be important causes of variation in population sizes. Biotic factors such as competition and predation can directly and indirectly affect population sizes. Population dynamics can be influenced by interactions with members of their own species (e.g., intraspecific competition) and members of different species (e.g., interspecific competition, predation, and mutualism).
Models of population growth
Population ecologists have developed mathematical models to study the growth of populations. The simplest model of population growth is the exponential growth model which assumes that the per capita growth rate (the change in population size/time/individual) is constant. Because populations growing exponentially continue to grow at an increasing rate, the exponential growth model is not a realistic model for most populations.
The logistic growth model is a more realistic model because it allows the per capita growth rate to vary with population size. The carrying capacity, the population size at which the population growth rate equals zero, is reached when the per capita birth rate (# births/time/individual) equals the per capita death rate (# deaths/time/individual). In logistic growth, birth and death rates are density dependent; as populations increase in size the per capita birth rate decreases (due to increased competition for resources) and the per capita death rate increases due to increased competition for resources, the increased spread of disease or an increase in predation that arises when predators are attracted to areas of high population sizes.
In the real world patterns of population growth may be more complicated than predicted by simple models because most populations are regulated by a variety of density dependent (e.g., competition and spread of disease) and density independent factors (e.g., climate and disturbances).
Spatial dispersion
Individuals in a population may be spread across the environment in different patterns (clumped dispersion, even dispersion, or random dispersion). Interaction with both the abiotic and biotic environments can influence patterns of spatial dispersion. For example, clumped dispersions may arise when individuals are limited to living in patchy with the appropriate abiotic environmental conditions and even dispersions may arise as the result of intraspecific competition.
Human population growth
The study of human population growth is an especially important subset of the field of population ecology. Humans have had a unique pattern of population growth. Human demographers are interested in the factors that cause patterns to vary between different countries and predicting what will happen to human population growth in the future.

Over the past couple of months, I've been compiling my Best of 2011 list, an annual ritual of sorts, comprised of my favorite books, movies and music published throughout the year. But what about all of the great movies and music from years gone by that I've recently embraced and enjoyed? Well, here is a list of films that I've recently viewed, some of which are well known classics and others that are gems just waiting to be discovered and checked out. Compared to recently released films, they hold up quite well. All That Heaven Allows: The great director Douglas Sirk's classic tale of domestic and social conflict between a restless widow (Jane Wyman) and a close minded society that refuses to accept her love for a younger man played by Rock Hudson. The vibrant Technicolor and use of innovative filming techniques makes this seemingly conventional melodrama an influential touchstone for contemporary directors like Todd Haynes (his great movie Far From Heaven is a reworked homage to Sirk's classic) and Ranier Fassbinder. A Streetcar Named Desire: A stunning movie when you consider the time period in which it was made. Everything you've read about Marlon Brando's visceral performance is accurate. His explosive screen presence set the stage for younger method actors to take more expressive approaches to acting. What I didn't know was how mesmerizing Vivian Leigh was going to be as the doomed Blanche DuBois.Night of the Hunter: A perfectly rendered performance by Robert Mitchum as the creepy murderer posing as a preacher (famously adorned with the words hate and love tattooed on his knuckles) makes Night of the Hunter one of the 1950's most influential films. Mitchum's deranged killer faces off against two children and an ornery grandmother as he tries to secure a large sum of stolen money. The famous ditty sung by Mitchum throughout the film was referenced by the Joel and Ethan Coen in their 2010 film True Grit during the closing credits. Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore: One of the director Martin Scorsese's lesser known films from the 1970's but a strong, poignant film nonetheless. Driven by the award-winning, tour de force performance of Ellen Burstyn, Alice tells the story of a young mother in search of a career as a torch singer. Unsuccessful in love and singing, Alice ends up in the American Southwest working as a waitress at Mel's Diner (later to be spun off as a television sitcom). Kris Kristofferson plays a man who shows an interest in Alice and her son. Will Alice settle down and marry or will she head off to California to strike it big as a singer? Her quirky, talkative son provides the movie's comedic and lighthearted touches. Cameos by future stars include a very young Jodie Foster and Scorsese regular Harvey Keitel. The Big Sleep: A lively if often convoluted whodunit, this first adaptation of the Raymond Chandler classic, was a major success at the box offices when it was released in 1946. Starring Hollywood's hottest couple at the time, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, this Phillip Marlowe-centered, detective thriller is one of the few book adaptations that translates well to the big screen in large part to the great chemistry between the two stars and the crackling dialogue, filled with gritty innuendo.

Two men will be arraigned in federal court in Bangor next week on charges they illegally smuggled Narwhal tusks into the U.S. for 10 years. Narwhals are a mysterious, endangered species of whale that lives primarily in the waters of the Canadian High Arctic, and west and east Greenland. Males grow ivory tusks that can spiral counterclockwise to eight feet in length. Smuggled tusks reached Europe as early as the middle ages and are credited with inspiring the unicorn myth. Jay Field joins Ed Morin to talk about the case.

EVENT HORIZON (Saturday, May 7)
Rock Jong Il Rocks Out
Rock Jong Il • punk • Suspended • metal • Russian Girlfriends • rock • Get Action • punk
By August March
On Saturday, May 7, put down that Communist Manifesto you've been perusing and take a stroll downtown to Launchpad for the album release party of Rock Jong Il. The quintet of local rockers and stalwart party members are having an album release party to celebrate the recording Dictators of Rock. Longtime members of the anti-capitalist forces seeking a rock and roll revolution in this city, Rock Jong Il have a sound that reviewers have rightly compared to seminal bands like Pere Ubu and the Dead Boys. Though the comrades in Rock Jong Il wear their influences heart-like on their tattered, war-weary sleeves, they're anything but derivative. With a list of songs that explore the miasma of postmodern culture through the use of hardcore aesthetics balanced with a casual mastery of their instruments (these guys can actually play their guitars, basses and drum-kits, unlike some of the DIY punk outfits in these parts) Rock Jong Il is a band whose steadfast dedication to form and function result in a rocking and rousing output. Members: Jeff Cohen, Johnny Huchmala, Jay Collins. Bob Beckley and Brandon Davis have got what it takes to move past insurgency and toward world domination. Get Action, Suspended and Russian Girlfriends will provide support for a night of rampage and revolt. Tickets for this introduction to what punk rock should probably sound like cost $5.

Amun and Kebi
this wiki
Amun and Kebi are both prominent members of the Egyptian coven. They are survivors of the coven that was destroyed by the Volturi when they warred against the Romanians and the Egyptians. Other than the Volturi's ancients and the Romanians, Kebi and Amun are two of the most ancient vampires in history.
In Breaking Dawn - Part 2, Amun is portrayed by Omar Metwally and Kebi by Andrea Gabriel.
Amun and Kebi were both ancient Egyptians. Amun was one of the first who established the Egyptian coven that warred against the Romanian coven. Kebi was an Egyptian slave chosen by Amun to make her his mate; he chose her because of her beauty and loyalty, which was subsequently magnified by her transformation. However, their relationship was never one of equal.
When the Volturi established the laws and conquered the Romanians, Amun knew that his coven would be their next target and quickly swayed to obey their new laws, and Kebi followed him. The rest of their coven was massacred after that.
With only Kebi and Amun left, they re-established what was left of the coven by trying to find talented members. Eventually, they came across Demetri, and later Benjamin. Kebi did not enjoy Benjamin's involvement because he was constantly receiving Amun's attention, but she kept her feelings to herself. Five years later, Tia joined their coven as Benjamin's mate. Although Amun wasn't fancy of the idea, he realized the benefits of having Tia in their coven; subsequently, Kebi became content that Benjamin's bond to Tia weakened his bond to Amun, so she could have him more to herself.
Breaking Dawn
When the Cullens sought the Egyptians out for aid, Amun was immediately resistant to the idea even after the proof was presented, but Benjamin's subtle threat of disbanding their coven forced him to stay, and Kebi stayed with him.
Amun and Kebi left the confrontation before everyone else. In the movie adaptation, they remain with the Cullens throughout the entire confrontation, but leave right afterwards.

Tropical sprue is a condition that occurs in people who live in or visit tropical areas. It impairs nutrients from being absorbed from the intestines. This causes malabsorption.
This disease is caused by inflammation of, and damage to the small intestine. It comes from having too much of certain types of bacteria in the intestines.
Risk factors are:
Treatment begins with plenty of fluids and electrolytes. Replacement of folate, iron, vitamin B12, and other nutrients may also be needed. Antibiotic therapy with tetracycline or Bactrim is typically given for 3 to 6 months.
In most cases, oral tetracycline is not prescribed for children until after all the permanent teeth have come in. This medicine can permanently discolor teeth that are still forming. However, other antibiotics can be used.
The outcome is good with treatment.
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are common.
In children, sprue leads to:
Call your health care provider if:
Other than avoiding living in or traveling to tropical climates, there is no known prevention for tropical sprue.

Sierra College sends 'mojo' to the Big Easy
ROCKLIN — As fact has it, the San Francisco 49ers haven't won a Super Bowl since 1994. As the theory goes at Sierra College, the 49ers haven't won a Super Bowl since they quit training there in the summer heat.
That's five Super Bowl championships before and during training camp at Sierra College, and none since they left.
Now that the 49ers are all settled in in New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII, Sierra is ready to do all it can to help the team win its sixth Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Trying to restore the "mojo" in the 49ers, a rally of sorts was held at Homer "Buzz" Ostrom Stadium on Tuesday. Leading the charge before about 100 fans, including Sierra's energetic softball team, were former 49ers Dan Bunz and Mike Wells. Bunz was a tight end in high school who ended up being a linebacker in the NFL who, romanticism for the quarterback notwithstanding, made arguably the tackle of the game, "The Stop," as it's known, to help the 49ers win that first Super Bowl in 1982. Wells was a tight end who scored one touchdown in the NFL.
With Bunz guarding Wells while Sierra football coach Ed Eaton threw them passes, these two 49ers reenacted training camp for a few minutes as the entertained crowd watched.
Before the drill, Bunz and Wells educated the gathering on what training camp was about.
Wells nabbed his first job post football as a coach at Rocklin High School. Trying to make the team and stick with the 49ers, he was "always a guy trying to make the team. We stayed in the dorms, catfishing in the pond behind the cafeteria," said Wells, wearing a T-shirt that read, "Huey Lewis & The News and the San Francisco 49ers, Cal Expo Amphitheatre, Aug. 17, 1985."
Lewis is a big-time 49ers fan who has performed the National Anthem several times at Candlestick Park; but not this weekend. That honor goes to pop star Alicia Keys.
Bunz might have fished for cats in the pond, too, had he not sneaked out after dinner to sleep in his bed "just over there," he said, pointing back over his shoulder.
It was Bunz who urged 49ers management to look at Sierra as a possible training camp site. Bunz loved training at Sierra, but he loved home more. The Oakmont High School graduate used to sneak out after dinner and hightail it home to his jacuzzi.
Legendary coach Bill Walsh got word and ordered additional security. Only Bunz never actually sneaked by security.
"I'd leave after dinner and head home. They never caught me," Bunz said as the crowd giggled. "Coach Walsh said, 'If I ever caught a guy sneaking out, not being a part of the team, I'd send him to Buffalo.' "
Bunz said he was "the bad guy" at first with the 49ers suffering through practices in "120 degrees" and all. But when the 49ers won that first Super Bowl, everyone realized practicing in triple-digit heat got them in shape.
Bunz, a first-round draft pick out of Long Beach State, spent seven of his eight years in the NFL with the 49ers. By blasting Cincinnati's Charles Alexander at the 1-yard line, probably the most memorable play on the 49ers' famous goal-line stand in Super Bowl XVI, Bunz is one of the most popular players this side of Joe Montana.
Once out of football, Bunz earned a community college credential and assisted former Sierra head coach Rex Chappell before coaching at Sacramento State and Hiram Johnson School. Bunz now has been at Sutter Middle School for 21 years.
Still looking fit at 57 and wearing his familiar No. 57 jersey, Bunz joined Wells signing autographs for the crowd.
The line was long, and it included Gloria Reyes. Raised in San Francisco and a frequent fan for 49ers game at Candlestick Park, Reyes, 82, now lives in a senior home in Fair Oaks.
Attending the mojo rally with friends Vicki Neese and Kathy Johnson, Reyes proudly showed off a poster she built on a computer showing suddenly popular quarterback Colin Kaepernick running toward a raven in a birdcage. The poster reads, "Cage the Ravens."
"As long as I keep breathing, I'll keep being a fan," said Reyes, wearing a faded but sturdy T-shirt "from the 1940s" that read "49ers Football Forever Faithful," a red and gold jacket that was made for her and included footballs in the design, and 49ers helmets on a necklace and earrings.
Bunz autographed his name across the midsection of Neese's gray 49ers T-shirt.
"I used to see Joe Montana and Jerry Rice come here and practice," Neese said.
Johnson, their chauffeur, couldn't wait for the party planned at their senior home on Super Bowl Sunday, saying, "I just can't wait to see all those fans there."
