May 2, 2000
SAT., MAY 6 - UW Track & Field at Brigham Young Tri-Meet (with Utah State)
10:00 a.m. Pacific Time (11 a.m. Mountain Time), BYU Track, Provo, Utah
This Week: The Washington track & field teams compete in their final scored meet of the 2000 regular season, visiting Provo, Utah for the Brigham Young Tri-Meet on Saturday, May 6. The meet, which includes host BYU and Utah State, begins with the women's hammer at 10 a.m. Pacific Time (11 a.m. Mountain Time). The first running event is the women's 5,000 meters at 10:40 a.m. PST. The final event on the track is the men's 4x400 relay at 1:30 p.m. while the field events conclude with the women's and men's high jump at 12:30 p.m. The Husky men have a 22-3 record in scored meets, including a perfect 8-0 dual-meet mark. The Washington women are 17-6 in scored meets. The Huskies complete the regular-season portion of their schedule on May 13 in the Seattle Pacific Invitational at Husky Stadium.
Tri-Meet Format: Saturday's tri-meet is sponsored by USA Track & Field as part of its Collegiate Track Series. The meet will implement a fan-friendly time schedule that is projected to fit within a 3 1/2-hour window. In order to remain within the desired time frame, field event attempts will be limited. Throwers will receive four throws rather than the standard three preliminary attempts and three final-round tries. Linear jumpers will also have only four attempts. High jump and pole vault competitors will be limited to seven total attempts regardless of their success at the final height.
Hooker Honored: Washington junior Ja'Warren Hooker (Ellensburg, Wash.) received two honors on May 1, including his second Pac-10 Athlete of the Week award in the last three weeks. Hooker was named the recipient of the Maury White Award given to the outstanding men's performer at the Drake Relays. On Saturday, he won both the 100- and 200-meter races at the prestigious Drake Relays. Hooker's time of 10.20 in the 100-meter preliminaries was his fastest legal time of the season and just .02 off his school-record mark. Hooker, the 1998 Drake 100-meter champion, won this year with a time of 10.28. He won the special invitational Drake 200-meter race in 20.63. Hooker garnered the April 17 Pac-10 Athlete of the Week award after breaking the 19-year-old school record in the 200 meters with a time of 20.33.
Back on Track: Junior Ja'Warren Hooker is back on track, literally, after struggling through an injury-plagued 1999 campaign. He was sidelined until mid-April of the 1999 season with a stress fracture in his left shin and was unable to defend the 1998 NCAA Indoor 55-meter championship he won as a freshman. That was the first NCAA track title for a Husky since 1988. Hooker placed third in the 200 meters and fourth in the 100 at the 1999 Pac-10 championships, but did not compete at either the 1999 NCAA Indoor or Outdoor meets. So far in 2000, Hooker finished sixth in the 60- (6.68) and 200-meter (20.67) events at the NCAA Indoor meet and was named the Western Region Indoor Track Athlete of the Year. He clocked NCAA automatic qualifying times in the 100- (10.18) and 200-meter (20.33) events and was named Pac-10 Athlete of the Week on April 17 and May 1. He won the Drake Relays 100- and 200-meter races to earn the Maury White Award at the meet's top male. As a freshman, Hooker was named the 1998 Pac-10 male track and field Athlete of the Year. He became the first double-event winner in Husky history at the 1998 conference championships, winning the 100- and 200-meter titles. After opening the 1998 outdoor season with 21 consecutive sprint victories, Hooker was beaten for the first time in the finals of the NCAA 100-meter championship in Buffalo, N.Y. where he finished third. Also during 1998, Hooker established a new school record in the 100 meters with a time of 10.18. He is the first Washington track & field athlete to garner Pac-10 Athlete of the Year honors since 1976 when the award was introduced. Hooker played receiver on the Husky football team his first two years (1997 & 1998). As a freshman in 1997 he scored four touchdowns, including an 89-yard kickoff return at Arizona the first time he touched the ball as a collegian. Hooker appeared in eight games during 1998, catching nine passed for 78 yards before a shoulder injury ended his season.
Record Breakers: Three Washington school records have fallen this year. The 19-year-old men's 200-meter mark fell on April 15 when junior Ja'Warren Hooker clocked a time of 20.33 at the Sun Angel Classic in Tempe, Ariz. That shattered the previous UW standard of 20.46 established by LaNoris Marshall in 1981. The 11-year-old men's 5,000-meter record was eclipsed on March 26 when junior David Bazzi posted a time of 13:47.63 at the Stanford Invitational. Bazzi bettered by nearly six seconds the previous record of 13:53.45 set by Alan Hjort in 1989. Sophomore Sandy Erickson improved her women's pole vault record by eight inches with a clearance of 12-11 1/2 on April 29 in Eugene, Ore. Erickson's previous best was a mark of 12-3 1/2. Additionally, Hooker matched his 100-meter mark on March 26 at Stanford, but it was a slightly wind-aided mark that does not qualify for record purposes. Hooker established the Husky 100-meter record of 10.18 seconds on May 2, 1998, replacing Pablo Franco's mark of 10.26 that had stood since 1975.
Big Ben: Washington senior Ben Lindsey has secured his fourth consecutive invitation to the NCAA championships, reaching the automatic men's discus qualifying standard with a heave of 198-11 on March 18 at UCLA. Lindsey boasts a career-best mark of 202-7, thrown on March 28, 1998 in San Diego, that is the third longest in Washington history. The school record of 214-7 was set by Borys Chambul in 1976. The three-time All-American battled a late-season bout with mononucleosis last year, but still managed to finish third in the shot put (60-2) and fifth in the discus (182-9) at the 1999 Pac-10 meet. He placed 19th in the discus at the 1999 NCAA championships after finishing fifth in 1998 and ninth as a freshman in 1997. Lindsey posted an automatic qualifying shot put mark of 62-6 3/4 on April 1 at Washington State. He was the 1998 Pac-10 shot put runner-up and finished fifth (62-5 3/4) at the 1998 NCAA Indoor championships. His personal-best shot put mark of 65-4, registered on May 2, 1998 at Husky Stadium, was the second best effort in Husky history and trails only the school record 65-11 set in 1979 by Steve Summers. Lindsey won the Washington state high school discus title three times and claimed two prep shot championships.
Awesome Anna Aoki: The Washington women's team features one of the finest women's distance runners in the nation, junior Anna Aoki (Vancouver, Wash.). She secured her third consecutive NCAA Outdoor Championships berth with an automatic qualifying 10,000-meter time of 34:07.93 on March 25 at Stanford. Aoki has also reached the NCAA provisional standard in the 3,000 meters (9:38.57) and 5,000 meters (16:28.30). Aoki won the 1998 conference 10,000-meter championship and was the Pac-10 runner-up in 1999. She registered a career-best time of 34:05.30 on March 27, 1999 at Stanford, the third-fastest 10K time in Husky history. At the 1999 NCAA Outdoor championships, Aoki placed 19th (36:54.34) after finishing 17th in 1998. Aoki has qualified for NCAA Indoor championship competition on three occasions in the 5,000 meters. She raced to a 13th-place performance in 1997, 12th in 1999 and 14th in 2000. Aoki has been a mainstay of the UW women's cross country team that qualified for each of the last three NCAA Championships and placed 14th in 1997, ninth in 1998 and 13th in 1999.
Spear Specialist: Sophomore Justin St. Clair is the latest in a long line of Washington javelin standouts, having reached the NCAA provisional standard with a mark of 230-1. He placed 12th at the 1999 NCAA Championships with a heave of 219-1. His career-best effort of 231-3 is the ninth longest mark in Husky history. St. Clair placed third at the 1999 Pac-10 championships (224-5) after finishing seventh in 1998 (209-0). He was named the Pac-10 men's athlete of the week on April 6, 1999. St. Clair won seven of the 10 javelin competitions he entered last season, placing second at the Drake Relays and third at the Pac-10 championships. He topped the 220-foot plateau in eight consecutive meets. Since 1970 when coach Ken Shannon began training Washington javelin competitors, a Husky won 10 of 30 conference men's titles. The most any other conference school can claim is five. Add in 1987 Pac-10 women's titlist Helena Uusitalo, who won the 1986 NCAA title, and Washington athletes have accounted for seven AAU/TAC national javelin championships and three NCAA titles. Also, three UW individuals have earned U.S. Olympic Team berths, including Duncan Atwood twice (1980, 1984). In 1989, Darryl Roberson set an American collegiate record of 249-6 with the new javelin. Washington has had at least one men's or women's javelin competitor qualify for the NCAA championship meet and place among the top 13 during 16 of the 18 years since the NCAA began sponsoring women's sports in 1982.
2000 NCAA Indoor Recap: Two individuals represented Washington in three events at the 2000 NCAA Indoor Championships, March 10-11 in Fayetteville, Ark. Junior Ja'Warren Hooker placed sixth in both the 60-meter dash (6.68) and 200 meters (20.67). He was the 55-meter champion in 1998. Anna Aoki made her third NCAA Indoor appearance, placing 14th in the women's 5,000 meters (16:47.32).
Coaching Staff: While Washington boasts a bevy of standout athletes, the coaches will also draw a great deal of attention this season. The Husky men's and women's track teams are coached for the third season by Orin Richburg, a nationally-acclaimed mentor who will serve as head coach of the U.S. National men's track & field team at the 2001 World Championships in Winnipeg. In 15 years as head coach of the Washington women's team, he compiled an impressive 69-24-1 dual-meet record since his arrival in 1986. The UW women's team ranked among the top-10 dual-meet teams in the nation every year during the 1990s. Richburg's 1988 Husky women's squad finished 10th at the NCAA championship meet, the best national finish in the school's history. His Washington teams have produced 10 conference and two national individual champions. The UW throwers will be tutored for the 32nd, and final, year by assistant coach Ken Shannon who will resign following the 2000 collegiate season. Shannon, who stepped down in 1997 as head UW men's coach after 29 seasons, tutored his Husky throwers to 10 NCAA championships and eight Olympic berths since arriving at Washington in 1968. The UW distance runners are in the capable hands of former Husky All-America steeplechase competitor Greg Metcalf, a 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials finalist. Metcalf coached the women's cross country team to an unprecedented three straight NCAA championship berths. Joining the staff this season as an assistant coach is former 400-meter world record holder and 1968 Olympic gold medalist Lee Evans. At the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, Evans won the gold medal in the 400 meters with a time of 43.86. That record stood for 20 years until being eclipsed in 1988 when Butch Reynolds ran 43.29. Evans earned a second gold medal in 1968 as part of the United States' 4 x 400-meter relay team that clocked a time of 2:56.1 that also stood as a world record for 20 years.
NCAA Championship Qualifying Procedures: Marks which reach automatic standards guarantee berths to the 2000 NCAA Championship Meet, May 31-June 3 in Durham, N.C. If there are not enough automatic qualifiers to fill out the fields, individuals with the next best marks receive NCAA bids, provided they reached the provisional standard.
Husky Qualifiers: Fourteen Washington athletes have reached NCAA qualifying standards in 20 events, including senior Ben Lindsey who has ensured his fourth consecutive NCAA championships appearance. Lindsey reached the automatic men's discus standard with a heave of 198-11 and hit the shot put standard with a mark of 62-6 3/4. Junior Ja'Warren Hooker hit the automatic standards in the men's 100 (10.18) and 200 (20.33) meter events. Hooker placed third in the 100m at the 1998 NCAAs, but did not qualify in 1999. Senior David Bazzi earned his first NCAA berth with an automatic 5,000-meter time of 13:47.63. Senior Anna Aoki will compete for the third straight season in the NCAA women's 10,000-meter race after posting a time of 34:07.93. All four Husky automatic qualifiers hail from the state of Washington.
1999 NCAA Recap: Washington sent four women along with two men's qualifiers to the 1999 NCAA Championships in Boise, Idaho. In men's competition: Justin St. Clair placed 12th in the javelin (219-1) and Ben Lindsey was 19th in the discus (165-8). In women's competition: Cecilia Barnes finished 11th in the discus (169-3), Deeja Youngquist (36:24.33) and Anna Aoki (36:54.34) were 17th and 19th in the 10,000 meters and Keisha Griffis was 19th in the 400-meter hurdles (1:01.01). Both men's NCAA competitors return along with Aoki to compete for the Huskies in 2000.

Background on Basilicata
It has even been called Italy's best kept secret; it is located only two hours south of Naples, yet is virtually unknown outside Italy, unlike the famous Amalfi coast to the north. It is certainly one of Italy's most beautiful beach resorts, situated in a breathtaking position overlooking the rugged gulf of Policastro. The mountains rise steeply from the sea and the coastline is unspoilt by modern buildings. The water has consistently been rated as among the cleanest in Europe, and is ideal for snorkelling and diving, as well as swimming in the many small coves along the shore. The coastline is dotted with sea caves, most of which can only be reached by boat. La Grotta della Meraviglia is the only sea cave accessible on foot and there are some amazing stalactite and stalagmite formations to be seen in the deep underground cavern.
Multi Activity Holidays in Basilicata
Whilst many customers will look to stay for a week or more in the area , we can arrange an action packed 4 day break for you including rafting and zipwiring. We can also arrange a bike tour - self guided from a single hotel or a multi-hotel option. Example packages can be seen at Active packages or contact us with your favourites and we can put an itinerary together for you.
More on Maretea
The district of Maratea is actually composed of a number of ancient settlements grouped along the coast, with the main centre being known as the 'Centro Storico', with narrow winding streets and small shops selling local food specialities and crafts. Maratea is often called 'the town with 44 churches' for the surprising number of its churches and chapels. The white statue of Christ, 'Il Redentore', the Redeemer, dominates the skyline above the village and coast. It is 22 metres high, second only in size to that of Rio, and stands on a mountain ridge that offers dizzying views of the Centro Storico, the Port, and the Tryrrhenian sea. Designed by the Florentine sculptor Bruno Innocenti, the statue was completed in 1965 and is located on the top of mount San Biagio, right in front of the Basilica.
Maratea, like the rest of the region of Basilicata, has been an isolated and poor area, invaded and colonized by various different empires. After the fall of the Roman Empire, southern Italy became part of the Byzantine Empire. From the 7th century, the Tyrrhenian sea and coastline came under the control of the Saracens. It was later under the control of the Normans and other European dynasties, until 1861 when Italy was finally united. Maratea suffered extreme poverty, in common with the rest of Basilicata. Many of its inhabitants emigrated to the United States and Venezuela. Since the 1950s, tourism has been the economic driver of the area.

Chemical Spill KitsAll laboratories with hazardous chemicals in them must have a spill kit present, sufficient to address the size and type of chemicals present. This is a fairly frequent deficiency noted in our lab inspections. You may build a kit to meet your requirements or you can purchase a pre-assembled kit from any of the safety product suppliers.
Kits should have sorbent pads, socks or similar items appropriate for your chemicals. You may also use granular sorbent which also may neutralize acid or base materials, and/or bind up organic materials. Select sufficient materials to accommodate the largest chemical container in your lab.
The kit should also have protective and waste disposal materials, such as goggles, gloves, disposal bags and a small pan to assist in picking up loose sorbent material.
A common issue when labs are inspected is that the lab people know they have a spill kit but can't find it! It is critical that all lab persons know their kit's location. If it is in a cabinet, place a sign on the cabinet door of the kit's presence.
Only persons trained in spill response should attempt to clean up a spill. One of the most critical factors in this activity is understanding when a spill is appropriate for you to respond to yourself and when it is not. Please check out these links for more information on performing hazardous material spill response in your laboratories.
Finally, it is CRITICAL that, when a spill occurs and you have depleted some of your spill response supplies, that you PROMPTLY order replacement materials. Mellon Stores stocks some of these items; others are available on-line.

Brrraaaaaiiiinns! Now you can crave them without being a zombie!
|October 2011
Brrraaaaaiiiinns! Now you can crave them without being a zombie!
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, which I'm sure comes as no surprise as I run a candy blog. It's not just the candy however. I love the costumes, the foliage (which I sadly miss out on now that I live in LA), the pumpkins, the stories….I could go on and on! So knowing October was just around the corner, I took a trip to Target to see what candy they had in for the season. I found a few things, one of them was these cute Lifesavers Gummis Spooky Shapes!
It has a fun Halloween styled package, using ooze green and purple color scheme what has gotten popular along with traditional orange and black. In the corner is Frankenstein, Dracula and the Mummy holding trick-or-treat bags. All smiling. Kinda creepy. The box has a strange triangular opening in the back where you pull out the sealed plastic bag that keeps the gummis fresh and safe.
The aroma of the gummis is unmistakeable. They're Lifesavers all right. It's the smell I remember from when I was a kid. It's fruit punchy with a strong hint of cherry. The shapes are cute: smiling jack-o-lanterns, witch heads, black cats, ghosts.
The red flavor is the exact same as the red Lifesaver. It's cherry, with a strong fruity flavor and a very heavy metallic edge to it from the food coloring. It's somewhat bitter but full of nostalgia.
Light purple is berry. It starts off tasting like grape, but a floral sweetness takes over which reminds me more of raspberries and strawberries.
Green is bland at first, then the bright, somewhat tart flavors of green apple kick through. It's tangy and apply, in the Jolly Rancher sort of way.
These gummis just reminded me how much I miss the 5 flavor Lifesavers from my youth: lemon, lime, orange, pineapple and cherry. Nostalgia aside, I liked these flavors and the came across as fun and the shapes were certainly in the spirit of Halloween. The jack-o-lantern one is my favorite!

One thing I absolutely love about October and Halloween is, aside from candy, the fact that many candy companies use it as a reason to introduce new candies to the market. This was occurring quite frequently a few years ago, but recently this phenomena has been slowing down some. Thankfully, this year, Jelly Belly is releasing a new jelly bean just in time for Halloween: Jelly Belly Candy Corn jelly beans!
These were surprise samples from Jelly Belly. I say that because I never hear beforehand when they arrive at my doorstep. They just…show up. I want to remind my readers that free samples never taint my opinions of the candy in my reviews. If I like them, I"ll say so. Even bad free candy still tastes bad, and I'll say so. I digress, back to these pretty little beans:
The beans use all the colors of normal candy corn, white, yellow and orange. The speckling is random and very pretty.
The flavor is almost candy corn. It read that way to me immediately upon my first sampling. It was only after trying some real candy corn side by side where I found minute flavor differences. But, the essence is definitely there. If you aren't a fan of the texture or intense sweetness of candy corn, then the jelly bean version is for you. The texture is smooth and gummi and is no where near as sweet as the original kernels.
Now, in comparison, there's Jelly Belly Candy Corn. Now, each brand has a slightly different version of candy corn, and Jelly Belly is no exception. Their candy corn is pristine, there's not breaking or chopping of any of the corn kernels in the bag. The pieces are firm to the touch and extremely smooth. There's more squat and are rounder than most candy corn varieties. The flavor and texture are all traditional candy corn. The sweet chew of the sugary fondant and the slight graininess, and the extremely sweet flavor with the hint of honey. Awesome, but I think Brach's is still my favorite.
I recommend these jelly beans to anyone who likes candy corn. If you're one of those folks who's really on the fence with the stuff, perhaps give them a try. The slight twist in form might be the trick to make them a favorite in your candy repertoire.

Two hundred million years ago there was an extraordinary development in the history of life: an ancient group of reptiles made a giant evolutionary leap into the skies.
In this groundbreaking, BAFTA winning, documentary, David Attenborough travels back in time to discover how and why these creatures took flight, and why after 150 million years of aerial domination they vanished.With the help of a team of scientists he unravels one of palaeontology's enduring mysteries, how did lizards the size of giraffes defy gravity and soar through prehistoric skies? Driven by the information he finds as he attempts to answer these questions, Attenborough finds that the marvel of pterosaur flight has evolutionary echoes that resonate even today.

In the wake of the Duck Dynasty public relations nightmare after A&E decided to indefinitely suspend star Phil Robertson after he made homophobic and racist comments in a GQ interview, network executives are privately admitting the hit reality show should have been taken off the air for two weeks during the holiday break, radio detection and rangingOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
A&E has faced an avalanche of criticism and outrage from fans of Duck Dynasty for the decision to take Robertson off the air and boycotts of the network and social media campaigns have "taken on a life of their own, and it's an absolute disaster for A&E," a source told radio detection and ranging.
"Network bosses now recognize they should have just taken the show off the air for two weeks, since reruns were just airing anyway. The fallout wouldn't have been strong and everyone could have just moved on.
PHOTOS: 'Duck Dynasty' Is 'Fake'! 25 Shocking Secrets & Lies Behind
The Louisiana native caused a major stir in telling how he doesn't understand how homosexuality between men, saying, "It seems like, to me, a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man's anus. That's just me. I'm just thinking: There's more there! She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying?"
A&E decided to put the show on hiatus, which has been a disaster for them.
"Now, it's a stand-off between the family and the network, who is going to blink first? There is no way Phil is going to apologize for his comments because he doesn't think what he said is hateful or prejudice, it's his religious beliefs," the source said.

Meanwhile, the "network is hopeful that cooler heads will prevail and a solution that is suitable for both parties can be reached. A&E isn't going to walk away from Duck Dynasty, they can't afford to do it. It's just a matter of getting both sides to agree on how to move forward," the insider added.

The manufacturing sector grew at its fastest rate since last summer as new orders picked up pace, contributing to the economy's strong start this year.

For the first time in many years, manufacturing stands out as an area of strength in the American economy.
January 4, 2012
U.S. manufacturing grew at its fastest pace in six months in December, and producers appeared poised to keep boosting output to replenish empty shelves in coming months.
December 21, 2011
It was rather remarkable this morning to watch the proceedings on the House floor. House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) wanted to try again to bring up the Senate's bipartisan payroll-tax-break compromise, and instead of debating, Republicans literally walked away from the fight.
December 14, 2011
The exercise of this right is under threat again. Not from batons or water hoses but from those intent on hindering access to the ballot for the perverse purpose of manipulating elections. We cannot afford to allow access to the voting booth to be granted or denied based on political expediency.
December 1, 2011
House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Thursday morning that Congress in the next few weeks needs to focus on extending unemployment benefits that expire at the end of the year.
November 30, 2011
House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said that while the agenda is full for the home stretch into 2012, "there's no more important piece of legislation" than extending benefits.
November 30, 2011
"There is no more important piece of legislation that we need to pass than the extension of unemployment insurance benefits," the Maryland Democrat said today. "Over the next 21 days we're going to test whether the Congress has a heart and a soul."
November 4, 2011
Democrats on Thursday ratcheted up efforts to combat new voting laws adopted by 13 states that Democrats contend are deliberate efforts to keep its core voting blocs from casting ballots next year.
November 4, 2011
Congressional Democrats are warning that state's changes to voting laws may make it harder to cast election ballots — and are appealing to local officials to do something about it.

September 30, 2011
America is still recovering from the worst economic crisis many of us have seen in our lifetimes. For many African-Americans, recovery is not coming nearly fast enough. We have made some progress since the worst days of the crisis -- President Obama inherited an economy that was losing nearly three-quarters of a million jobs each month, and we now have had eighteen straight months of private sector job growth -- but more needs to be done.
September 22, 2011
Last Friday, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced he would ignore international warnings and take his bid for recognition of a Palestinian state to the UN Security Council. The decision facing Abbas was a simple one: return to direct peace negotiations with Israel or rebuff the U.S. and renew diplomatic warfare against Israel. In choosing the latter, Abbas has put at risk not only the Palestinian Authority's relationship with the U.S., but the aspirations of his own people.
September 20, 2011
Undoubtedly, the current economic crisis has had very negative effects on the Hispanic community. The overall unemployment rate among Hispanics is 11.3 percent, and among Latino youth, it's even worse at 19.3 percent. Similarly, Hispanic small businesses have also suffered tremendously.
September 19, 2011
This time, President Obama did not compromise with himself beforehand, or put out a half measure in hopes of luring nonexistent Republican support. This time, he issued an unabashed call for economic fairness in cutting the federal deficit, asking as much from those on the economy's upper rungs as from those lower down whose programs may be trimmed.
September 16, 2011
The patent that led to the telephone was approved in one month. The patent that led to the cell phone, as former White House economic advisor Austan Goolsbee recently observed, was approved in three years. Today, patents are held up for even longer -- and jobs and growth are held up with them. At this moment, more than 700,000 patents are caught in the backlog. Could one of those 700,000 new ideas be the next iPhone, the next breakthrough drug, the key to the next great American industry? We'll have to wait a long time to find out.
September 8, 2011
President Obama started off his address to a joint session of Congress by giving a nod to the House Democrats' "Make it in America" agenda.
August 30, 2011
THE United States became the world's largest economy because we invented products and then made them with new processes. With design and fabrication side by side, insights from the factory floor flowed back to the drawing board. Today, our most important task is to restart this virtuous cycle of invention and manufacturing.
August 27, 2011
AS we celebrate the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial, we reflect on the life and legacy of this great man. But recent legislation on voting reminds us that there is still work to do. Since January, a majority of state legislatures have passed or considered election-law changes that, taken together, constitute the most concerted effort to restrict the right to vote since before the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
August 25, 2011
The $825 billion economic stimulus law signed by President Obama in February 2009 is still having a positive impact on the economy some 30 months later, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

A chronic shortage of engineering students threatens America's role as the world's leading innovator and continues to impede our nation's fragile economic recovery. Over the past 20 years, the percentage of engineers graduating in the United States has stagnated, while India and China surpass us with rapid progress.
July 14, 2011
The jobs report released last week disappointed a lot of Americans, and I'm one of them. Our private sector added 57,000 jobs in June, but with public-sector layoffs across the country, the total number of jobs created added up to just 18,000. To be sure, that's far better than the situation our country faced as President Obama took office, when we were losing nearly three-quarters of a million jobs per month. Since then, our economy has been steadily adding jobs, and our private sector has grown for 16 straight months. But that's hardly any consolation to the millions of Americans who are still out of work, still suffering the effects of 2008's financial crisis. What can we do to make their future brighter?

People across the nation know a lot more about Los Angeles-based pet photographer and dog savior Lori Fusaro, thanks to NBC Nightly News. Her story and her latest journey capped off Saturday's broadcast, bringing more and more attention to Fusaro's passion: senior dogs.
Her dedication to photographing old dogs in area shelters is attracting attention. As is her Silver Hearts project, an artsy photography book highlighting the beauty of old dogs. Fusaro's enthusiasm for senior dogs is so magnetic, it attracted folks at the mega-news show as well as reporters for Today.com.
Last year, Fusaro saw Shady, a dumped and nearly-dead senior Pit Bull at a high-kill Los Angeles shelter. She could not get the dog out of her mind, and knew this one needed more than Fusaro's award-winning photography skills. Shady needed Fusaro. And that's what she got. Fusaro adopted the dog, renamed her Sunny and decided she would make the dog's last days on Earth happy ones. More than a year later and Sunny, even with her health problems, is utterly thriving.
As is Fusaro. Yes, Sunny may have gotten her lifeline rejuvenated under the love of Fusaro, but Fusaro found her career soaring in new ways under the love of Sunny. Fusaro is now focusing much of her work on fighting for the homeless senior dog, the one who may have many good years left but finds itself surrendered to a shelter, depressed and confused. Of all the dogs in shelters across the nation, senior dogs are not the first adopted, IF they are adopted at all. Fusaro hopes to change that.
Through her Silver Hearts project, Fusaro is traveling the country, raising money and photographing senior dogs in an effort to show the benefits and beauty of older dogs. Money raised will help her publish this book and, as a result, save more and more homeless seniors.
As she stated on the Silver Hearts website: "I used to be one of those people who thought my heart couldn't handle bringing an older dog into my life. That it would be just too painful for me to love a dog knowing their time was limited. I came to realize that no creature should die alone and every animal deserves a home, even if it's for a short time. My mantra has become, "If not me, then who?" With this book, I hope to make that mantra resonate with others. Together we can make a difference. Love doesn't keep track of years."

Two Former Women's Swimmers Set National Masters Swimming Record
April 30, 2012
CHICAGO - Former UIC women's swimmers Hannika Schleebs and Julia Shallcross teamed up to help produce a United States Masters Swimming Record in the 200 medley relay at the Illinois Masters State Meet held at the UIC Natatorium.
Along with Katie Braun from Northwestern, and Kelly McNichols, a Georgia alum, the foursome was aiming to beat 1:48.84, the national record. They emerged as the new record holder, touching the wall in 1:47.44.
Schleebs wrapped up her eligibility with the Flames this past winter, while Shallcross graduated in 2011.
Chicago Masters Swim Club offers athletes 18 and older of all abilities the opportunity to improve their swimming fitness and technique. The Club is coached by current UIC men's and women's swimming mentor Paul Moniak.

If you are a developer who's interested in starting a new business or even just earning extra cash on the side, you have a few options that can lead to scalable profits and passive income. The most popular choices these days are SaaS (Software as a Service) and iPhone/iPad development.
Choosing web application or iPhone OS development is a matter of personal taste, skills, goals, technical requirements, and so on. If we are looking at things solely from an economical perspective though, it's interesting to consider for a moment which of the two is most likely to be profitable all things being equal.
In my opinion, despite the horror stories, it is far easier to make money with iPhone/iPad development than with charging for a service provided by a web application. The reason for this is very simple. Users don't expect to pay for websites. They occasionally do for the useful ones, but it's a relatively new approach and people are still adjusting to it.
Due to the hosted nature of SaaS offerings, they often require a monthly or yearly subscription as well, which is harder to sell than a single one time purchase. $9.99 here, $19.99 there, all adds up very quickly to an uncomfortable monthly bill.
iPhone and iPad applications on the other hand have a major advantage. Apple created an incredible ecosystem where millions of users are ready to pay for tiny applications that solve one small problem or are amusing enough to install. Low prices without the need for a subscription encourage impulse buyers to purchase applications without giving it a second thought.
You've probably been on the web for many years now, yet how many web applications do you pay for? However if you have an iPod Touch, an iPhone, or an iPad, how many applications have you bought? I own an iPod Touch and rarely use it, yet even I've paid for some applications.
It's a matter of expectations and Apple did a marvelous job in that respect. When you buy an iPhone, you are almost expected to get cool apps for it. That, along with web access, is the whole point of having an advanced smart phone device. There are no such expectations for web applications.
Take a look at this list of applications and their sales. Most of them could be easily ported to the web, yet their limited scope and functionality wouldn't even justify calling the resulting sites web applications. Few people would pay for them, even if one were to price them at $0.99. (And I'm not talking about apps for which being on a phone is the key feature). Conversely, porting a free Flash game from the web to the iPhone, for example, would almost certainly lead to sales.
Android is an option too, but I feel that Google has done a much poorer job at setting expectations. Furthermore their marketplace is a lackluster version of the App Store, users from several countries are unable to purchase applications or have to jump through hoops to do so, and developers from countries such as Canada, cannot publish and sell their apps on the Android Market.
The question is, will Google do a better job with the Chrome Web Store that was announced yesterday at Google I/O? If so, it may become a good extra channel through which to sell web applications; an App Store for the web if you will. The distinction between web apps and offline mobile apps may even fade away at some point. That would be a great thing for developers. For the time being however, it is my opinion that developing for the iPhone OS is a safer bet in terms of achieving profitability.

[…] Web or iPhone OS applications to make money? One interesting feature about appstores is that they have successfully enabled the micropayment model in an area where it doesn't belong at all. […]
Interesting comments, Antonio. Definitely paid apps are the way to go in order to make a profit on the iPhone (or any mobile platform available). The biggest issue that I have is app longevity. For example, my apps, if left for some time without further investment, eventually become stagnant and begin generating less and less revenue.
However, I haven't found much evidence suggesting that mobile advertising is profiting for developers and even less on generating revenue through web based apps on the mobile platform. As such, I totally agree that paid apps are the way to go. Just need to find the right niche markets and add value. Otherwise apps become lost in the saturated app store.
Nice post dude.

AFRICAST 2014 with the theme: Digital Broadcast Content: Production, Sourcing and Delivery, is the tenth edition of the biennial conference of Africa Broadcasters which premiered in October, 1996. AFRICAST 2014 is very unique as it heralds the final drive towards Digital terrestrial television switchover in Nigeria and the world. The conference therefore provided a solid platform for stakeholders in Africa's broadcasting scene to converge and exchange ideas on content creation and explore the possibilities offered by the new and emerging technologies.
The opening ceremony which was declared open by the Secretary to the Federal Government of Nigeria (SGF), Mr. Pius Anyim Pius, represented by Dr Ferdinand Agu, Senior Special Assistant, Research and Development to the President, attracted dignitaries and broadcast experts from around the world. In attendance were the Chairman House Committee on Information, Hon Umar Buba Jubril, Chairman of the NBC Board, Prof. Herbert Onye Orji and other Board Members; Commissioners of Information and former Directors General of the National Broadcasting Commission. Others were the Directors General of sister regulatory agencies and Chief Executives of government and private broadcast stations in Nigeria as well as other broadcast experts from around the world.

Now that's what I'm talking about!Do you have a picture of the jig you caught it on?
FC, it's the top left hand corner of the pic. But it was a pink head not white. They really liked the pink on Saturday.
And I personal think the eyes made a difference that day. But that is JMO.
And it was a 3/8 oz jig. Buddies were using 1/4 oz.

The Wonderful World of Jig's
Guys and Gals,
I am sending this pics about how we do our jigs, We make our jars 2to 3 inches high and about 1 1/2 to 2 inches around, into our heating source for painting jigs, with a small jar, and drill a hole in the top, just undersize of the wick size, a pcs of rope works, put pcs of rope not quite to hit bottom and trim off 1/2 to 3/4 inch from top of lid, fill jar half way w denatured alchohol, available at hardware stores, stand back
and light it , it will burn a little higher at first time, when it settles , we get our paint in container ( like a plastic container they sell mealy worms in, save the lid to cover powder paint.) Take a plastic knife and with point down lightly make a dip across top of paint, (usually the depth of jig your painting,) now, heat the jig over the wick , our way is when it is hot enough to dip in the paint , when it changes color, turn it over to other side for couple seconds, put it in the dip you have in the powder paint and use knife to swish paint over top of it and
then, hit the heat again to make paint cover jig evenly.
When we are done, we put them in this oven on a rack my fishing buddy
made out of allumium strips, drilled holes in the angles, and used bolts and
nuts to adjust the height, and our rack holds 50 painted jigs and we set
oven at 225 degrees for 10 minutes, it is baked on and holds up well.
Keep a tight line,
And will answer any questions.
Where they paint on eye's?Where you in current?
Drink beer,listen to music and make jigs in the garage waiting for the ice to go!!! LOVE IT..........
I do it in the basement myself!!!
The Wonderful World of Jig's
Guys and Gals,
I forgot to add in the above article about the painting jigs that is it is
a very clean burning , denatured Alcohol, we use it in the basement ,the
Garage and in my buddy basement room and no fumes and don''t need
to open a window either, doing it this way for many yrs.
Keep a tight line,
PS> We run the ovens in the same way as above, put it on 4 blocks of
brick , laying them flat under each leg , this way , keeps the heat up and
away from the table , Just keep the area around the oven free of every-
thing basement. We also put a permanent marker line on
the 10 minute line and the 225 heat line.
FC, same eyes as that one. I was fishing a local lake so no current but wind was blowing. It was rigged with a slip bobber about 6' down and tipped with a 4" minnow. But then again the walleye and sauger report are very very good for this year on this lake.
The Wonderful World of Jig's
Guy and Gals,
Take a look at these wooden egg , we paint everything white first, then
whatever color you choose, we powder paint as previously described and
we made a jig to drill them on center, this way , on a level drill press, drill
a hole the size of an older practice arrow tip, I think it was an inch deep and put glue in hole and bump it in with a pc of harder wood, now you are very close to dead center, these wooden eggs are shaped like an egg, usually we put the thickest end up and point on the center of the arrow tip and hold with your hand and line up drill with the center point put in earlier, with a punch and drill a 1/16 or 1/8 inch hole depending on line size you use, drill bit all the way thru, (Keep backing it out to clear chips) while drilling fast, and then change bits and run a 1/8 or 3/16 drill bit down about one inch . Now you have a finished egg, we spray paint these and finish with a clear coat.
This is what put my fenwick fly rod in the closet for the last 10 yrs, we
put the size line you using on your rod thru the thinest part of the egg
and run line thru and I put a small barrel swivel on and if you want a bead
(the purpose of double holes in it is so the barrel swivel will go up into
the egg and only the leader is exposed), then I keep about 18 inches to
two feet of line from top of my 6 ft 6 inch rod, Then I run my fluorcarbon line from the bobber to about 6 inches past the end of the handle area and tie on a 1 3/2 maribou jig w red head and a 1 inch minnow from gulp jars and w that rig I can whip it 75 to 100 ft so easily in any direction with this size egg and up to 150 ft plus with the bigger egg and my 10 ft rod, and when it is just about to land throw bail over and pull rod back to get line taunt right away and work it slowly back or quick at times or add a small sinker 1/32 and let it sink slowly and work back to boat and this fabulous way of fishing cover and open water and covering so much area and up to close to 6 ft deep this way, really ups your fishing odds,, I use light sinker and let it fall slowly, it drives then nuts and get a lot more fish this way .
When I use my 10 foot rod and I can cover to close to nine ft and use a small pinch about 15 inches up and use a 3 inch berkley smelt minnow from a bag, and did very well on trout crappies , perch , bass and some nice walleyes around weed beds, this has change our fishing to a big plus in the freezer department. I just might add a 4 to 6 inch line off bobber
this yr and run a minnow very close to the bobber, last yr and a couple
times I had thunders hits on the bobber by big Bass and Northerns, if I
had a minnow tight to bobber I would have some monsters to battle.
I was fishing with my buddy last and after many yrs he found a website
and will send it to me today where you can buy these eggs in different size and our favorite size is 1 1/8 inches long. In the boat By myself I will anchor and fish around the clock way, but don't do it continuously around
I throw two cast to each area say 1 o/clock to 12 o/clock and then
I do the same at 4 o/clock , 8 o/clock and then 11 and 12 o/clock
and then to 1 to 2 o/clock and right around again , advancing each time
and this way has been very successful for many yrs.
Last night my buddy showed me a new way to get early season crappies,
We got to the area he is doing well at near dark, and nothing till pitch dark but nothing breaking the surface like previous night so we got nothing by trolling and casting very slowly with the bobber and a streamer so I decided trying different depths and nothing then I saw two swirls and threw the bobber rig over and missed one and nothing so we trolled a
rebel minnow w blue back and silver sides and 1 1/2 inch lure 50 to 60 ft. back and runs about 2 ft down or so and just moving and jerking it often,
with hardly a wake and trolling over deep water 25 to 30 ft deep and missed a couple but saved the night by getting these 4 nice crappies that
way, I would never have fished this way in March to get crappies, you would think they would be shallower by now with this super nice weather, and no ice, that we are having, but my buddy and his friend were trying all over the lake the other night and didn't have a bite for 3 hrs and they went further up into the deep water this time after nothing in shallow water last yr, and saw the swirls and threw the bobber and the fly rig in the pitch dark over 13 to 20 ft and got 10 that night and missed pretty many, light hitters. He said they were swirling all over the place and got them over an hour period.
That is why I love fishing , you just got to keep trying to you find them,
One night making swirls on top all over the deep water in the dark, and a
70 degree day again and the exact pattern as the night before you would
would work and only 3 swirls in 3 hrs of fishing , that's why they call it fishing.
My buddy won 2 yrs in a row weekend trout fishing contest by using this bobber and a wooly bugger fly on 6 ft of flurocarbon, and our other buddy won the yr before using the same set-up. These were monster trout , 25 , 27 and 28 inches that won. He is the guy who showed me this yrs ago when I had a water filled bobber and he out throwed me twice the distance w the wooden bobber, he didn't have to hit me on the head with a hammer to get me to see the difference. We took hundreds of trout with this bobber rig over the yrs, but the last couple yrs I don't trout fish much , first of all I don't like to eat them, too fishy tasting for me, and I sure get my share of other kinds of fish to eat while up our place in N>Y. When I get trout I drop them off to older people gutted or filleted, what ever way they want, and they really like that.
Sorry for getting long winded here,
Keep a tight line,
Any body interested in trout, My brother gets 550 to 600 trout every yr
for over 30 yrs fishing streams in major city area and this yr he told me
last week at a family diner he set his all time record this year because of
no ice and bad weather and wound up with 967 trout for 2011.
Now , he only uses 2 ways , if interest i will put it up.
The Wonderful World of Jig's
Guys and Gals,
All of you jig fisherman take a look at these green glo in the dark eggs,
and the name of them, we were over my buddy's basement and I put a
pack of these green eggs on his desk and we were testing all kinds of glow in the dark stuff, turning the light off and on, and not even put them against the light or flashing light to them, to everyone's surprise, this pack of these green eggs glowed the brightest with the lights out , by far
beating all other jigs that have glow in the dark paint on them. WOW, this really impressed me and I got my favorite jig out for crappies where last yr I sat on one spot and between 12;30 p.m. till 1;45 p.m. in 13 ft in June over edge of weeds I got 25 huge crappies w 15 over 14 inches to 15 1/2
inches and none under 12 inches, I was on Cloud 9, I just couldn't believe
the size of these monster crappies, some over 2 inches thick and 5 inches wide and either could everybody else who came to see them in the next couple hours.
I am sending a picture of my very productive jig and take notice to the
very high glowing egg I slide on to it before tying them and a three inch
berkley minnow, blue in color. That little glowing egg on small jigs gets a lot of perch out of deep water, this yr I am going to slide one on my line ahead of my jigs.
Keep a tight line,

Kickers and specialists drift off into their own little world throughout much of an NFL practice as they're only needed for the special teams portion of practice. So the three or four players spend a lot of quality time together during training camp and the regular season.
In training camp, there could be two kickers or two punters on the roster with one being the clear-cut favorite and the other being a long shot to make the roster. That's far from the case with the New Orleans Saints' Garrett Hartley and John Kasay.
It's the most "mano a mano" battle in training camp as both have plenty of NFL credentials.
Hartley was the toast of New Orleans after his clutch performances in the NFC championship game and Super Bowl XLIV during the 2009 season. Then the yips came in 2010.
Hartley struggled to follow up his Super Bowl success as he only converted on five of his first nine kicks. His biggest miss occurred in Week 3 at home against Atlanta that would have won the game. Instead, the Falcons converted on a field goal in overtime to win it. The Saints then benched Hartley the next week for two games in favor of John Carney as Coach Sean Payton displayed his penchant for a short fuse on kickers.
Payton never lost complete faith in Hartley, though, as Hartley went 15 of 16 in field goal attempts to end the season. Hartley inked a five-year contract right before the lockout in 2011 to show the Saints possessed ample confidence in him.
Then Hartley appeared to tweak his hip in the Saints' third preseason game in Oakland in 2011. The injury was more than a tweak as Hartley landed on injured reserve.
That's where Kasay came into play.
The 42-year-old left-footed kicker attended a meeting at his child's school one day and signed with the Saints the next after Hartley's season-ending injury. All Kasay did was put up the most points in his 21-year career as he racked up 147. The 42-year-old kicker made 82.4 percent of his kicks in 2011, including a 53-yarder.
Both have accolades to back up why they deserve to make the roster. But both likely comprehend that only one kicker will make the 53-man roster leading up to Week 1's matchup with the Redskins.
"I don't think there's any way (to keep two kickers), just because with Thomas (Morstead) being such a good kickoff guy," special teams coach Greg McMahon said. "It's kind of unique because we're probably one of two or three teams in the National Football League that has a punter that also kicks off. There's no way that we could keep two that I could think of."
McMahon said the plan is to rotate kickers on every field-goal try whether it's a point after touchdown attempt or an actual field-goal attempt. The rotation has just ended up with Kasay having four attempts with Hartley only booting one field-goal try. Kasay has missed two of his four kicks, with one being blocked, while Hartley converted on his one field-goal attempt.
"Both players have to stay active," McMahon said. "We just don't want them to go a quarter or a half because we want both guys to play the game. I think after five games it will all work its way out. That's the intention anyway."
McMahon said it's not fair to make a judgment at this point in camp. He also said he's purposely kept punter Thomas Morstead as Hartley's holder and quarterback Chase Daniel as Kasay's holder considering that's how everyone involved is accustomed to through the last couple of seasons.
Meanwhile, Hartley said he began feeling 100 percent healthy again toward the end of December and into January. Once he felt healthy, Hartley focused off the field on adding muscle to work on his overall strength.
Hartley, 26, said he worked on changing his steps during the last 11 months and working on subtle things that the public might not notice. Hartley also worked on increased flexibility and his explosiveness in what he called his fast-twitch muscles.
"My leg feels great," Hartley said. "I kind of changed up my steps and fundamentally I feel sound. And honestly, I'm just excited to be back around the guys and work on a daily basis out there doing what I know how to do."
Hartley also said competing against Kasay will make him a better kicker in the long run.
"Obviously, knowing we're battling for a spot, you can't focus on what he's doing or what people want to talk about or speculate," Hartley said. "Just know I can control what I can control and do what I can do to the best of my abilities. Just produce out on the field and let everything else take care of itself regardless of what happens. It is a competition. We are friends, however we know the business aspect of it. We come out here, compete against each other and make each other better every day."
Kasay said he was still working out Monday as he walked into the locker room when asked for an interview.
With such close quarters through their training regiments, long snapper Justin Drescher sort feels like he's in the middle. Yet Drescher said everyone handles the kicker battle with professionalism.
"Both Garrett and John are great guys and great competitors," Drescher said. "That's what makes it fun to watch. They both work so hard and want the best for one another. They're both great kickers. You can't say a bad thing about them. This thing just has to play out and will play out how it's supposed to."

Bullet GT
The Bullet GT is a supercar featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
The Bullet GT is evidently based on the Bullet, a similarly designed sports car from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, sharing similar Ford GT-like design cues and hood scoop, and rear window shutters seemingly inspired by those of the Lamborghini Miura.
Much like various newly designed cars in TBOGT, the car lacks badges indicating its manufacturer. However, while its interior is derived from the Grotti Turismo, police radio chatter indicate the car is actually a Vapid model.
The Bullet GT has a massive top speed about 211 MPH (341 km/h), and is possibly and arguably the fastest car in the game, butting heads with the Comet, the Turismo and the Coquette. It can turn corners easily, and barely has any understeer. Unlike the real Ford GT, which has a relativley low-revving (compared to European cars) supercharged-V8, the Bullet GT's engine is naturally-aspirated and very high-revving.
- The player can spawn the Bullet GT via cheat code by dialing "227-555-9666".
- Henrique Bardas can acquire one for the player after the mission No. 3.
- Very common in Alderney
- The Bullet GT can commonly spawn in Algonquin, Liberty City.
- The Bullet GT is used during Triathlons. The player can obtain a unique green and black Bullet GT in this event.
- Will spawn in the Star Junction area, also will appear if driving one.
- Spawn in Chinatown
- The Bullet GT plays the two radio stations Electro-Choc or Radio Broker by default when entered.

It is an offence if you either fail to stop at the scene of an accident or fail to report an accident in which you are involved
It is an offence if you either fail to stop at the scene of an accident or fail to report an accident in which you are involved.
If a road-traffic accident in which you are involved as a driver results in injury to someone other than yourself, or injury to an animal, or damage to property, there are important things you must do to avoid breaking the law and to help any possible future insurance claim.
If you've been an AA member for more than a year then you can get advice on any personal legal matter, motoring or otherwise by calling the legal assistance helpline, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
As soon as your car is involved in an accident you need to take the following steps, regardless of who was at fault.
If you are involved in a road-traffic accident as a driver and one or more of the following occurs:
Then you must:
If you don't exchange those details at the scene, you must report the accident at a police station or to a police constable as soon as you can, and in any case within 24 hours.
If another person is injured you must:
Reporting the accident to the police by telephone is not sufficient and you cannot ask someone else to report for you.
You're obliged to do these things not only when you are directly involved in an accident, but also if your vehicle's 'presence' was a factor.
If you don't comply with these obligations you risk committing two offences: failing to stop and failing to report, and you can be guilty of either or both. The penalty for each includes a maximum fine of £5,000 and five to ten penalty points. Courts also have the power to disqualify you from driving for either offence and are likely to do so when both offences are committed on the same occasion. Failing to stop or report an accident can carry a maximum of six months' imprisonment.
Even if there was no personal injury involved, if someone holds you responsible for the accident, they have the right to request your insurance details. This request does not necessarily have to be at the time of the accident and can be made a later date. Failure to provide that information without a reasonable excuse is also an offence.
It will also be a condition of your insurance policy that you report the accident to your insurance company within a reasonable time, even if you do not want to claim yourself. A failure to do so can invalidate your cover.
Note down a detailed description of what happened, collecting as much information - photographs and notes - as you can while at the scene
(24 September 2013)
*an 'animal' is defined as any horse, cattle, ass, mule, sheep, pig, goat or dog

Many animals are endangered, and may soon become a part of the list of extinct animals. Human activities are solely responsible for the condition of endangered animals. Habitat loss of the endangered animals is caused due to the rapid development activities of man.
According to International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), one-fourth of mammals, one-half of fresh-water turtles, one-third of amphibians, one-eighth of birds, and one-fifth of sharks are endangered.
Twenty times more species than those present today inhabited the earth. As the time passed by, many animals became extinct due to natural disasters. Dinosaurs, which existed about 65 million years ago, are believed to be the last animals to become extinct in a series of volcanic eruptions.
It is not that the extinction of animals has been due to natural factors only. However, excessive hunting of animals, in early days, for pleasure and bounties is considered to be one cause for the extinction of animals.
The European expansions in the 15th and 16th centuries have been the recent cause of extinction of animals. They cleared the forests and cut down the trees to make rapid development, and destroyed the natural habitats of many animals.
Some animals have died because they could not adapt to the changed climatic conditions. The destructive activities of man have drastically changed the global climate, and made the endangered animals homeless.
Environmentalists study the decaying remains and fossils of extinct animals to gain information about them. Some fossils are millions of years old, and give insightful information about extinct animals. Quagga, Spectacled Commarant, Caspian Tiger, Dodo, Kemp's Ridley Turtle, Tasmanian wolf, the golden mantled tree Kangaroo, etc. are no more alive, but scientists are trying to find information about them.
The "red list" of IUCN includes all the extinct and endangered animals in the world. The list includes the names of some extinct animals such as Javan Tiger, Elephant Bird, Dodo, and Passenger Pigeon. Endangered animals on the list of IUCN are Giant Turtle, Bactrian camel, Mountain Gorilla, Brown Spider Monkey, Island Fox, Gharial, Dhole, Markhor, Blue Whale, Asian Elephant, Giant Panda, Snow Leopard, African Elephant, Cheetah, Lion, Indian Rhinoceros, Hippopotamus, and Polar Bear.
Plastic is an inorganic matter, which does not decompose. Plastic wastes are considered to be one of the greatest threats for the endangered animals. It kills about one million sea birds annually, and has endangered the lives of countless marine animals.
Poaching is yet another factor, which has endangered animals. The illegal business of poaching has threatened the existence of many endangered animals, and pushed them on the brink of extinction.
Several governments have initiated steps to check the illegal practice of poaching. Laws of the land make poaching of endangered animals a punishable offence and the poachers are sentenced to severe imprisonment. But, the illegal business of poaching will remain there because a lot of money is involved in this ugly business.
Therefore, a determined effort can save the endangered animals from becoming extinct. World Wildlife Federation (WWF) has taken the responsibility to conserve the endangered animals. Our little effort to safeguard the endangered animals will contribute to prevent them from becoming extinct.
