First records in Tanzania of the Vulnerable Jackson's mongoose Bdeogale jacksoni (Herpestidae)
New records in Tanzania of the Vulnerable Jackson's mongoose Bdeogale jacksoni expand its distribution by over 900 km to the south. During two independent camera-trap surveys over 3 years B. jacksoni, one of Africa's most cryptic small carnivores and previously thought to be endemic to Kenya, was recorded in forests of the Udzungwa Mountains. All records were highly localized within Matundu forest, at a maximum of 2.65 km apart. Most of the records (73%) were between 19.00 and 00.00, confirming that the species is primarily nocturnal. Conservation recommendations include further ecological research, genetic analyses, surveys in other Eastern Arc and ground-water dependent forests, and greater protection for Matundu.(Published Online January 5 2007)

Minneapolis is poised to become the first city in the Midwest to adopt an energy benchmarking and disclosure rule for commercial buildings.
The City Council's energy and environment committee unanimously passed a proposal Monday (video) to require large commercial building owners to annually measure and report energy consumption data. (UPDATE: The full city council approved the proposal on Feb. 8.)
Council Member Elizabeth Glidden, who proposed the ordinance, said it's about using market forces to capitalize on the "untapped potential" of commercial building energy savings.
"The intent of this ordinance is to use market force — not performance or design mandates — to increase energy efficiency in existing commercial and city-owned buildings," said Brendon Slotterback, the city's sustainability program coordinator. "It's also intended to provide consistent, transparent reporting on energy and water use data, not just to owners and managers, but to tenants, potential tenants and the public at large."
It's also designed to promote green job growth. Slotterback said energy service companies in cities with similar ordinances have seen up to 30 percent increases in activity as building owners sought to improve their scores.
How it works
The proposal originated from a Twin Cities green jobs committee called Thinc.Green, which is made up of business, union, nonprofit and city leaders from Minneapolis and St. Paul. It's modeled after similar ordinances in half a dozen other cities, including New York, San Francisco, and Austin, Texas. In the Midwest, Chicago is also considering a commercial benchmarking and disclosure policy.
The reporting would be completed using Energy Star's free, online Portfolio Manager software, which is already used by more than 4,300 commercial building owners in the Twin Cities area, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
The city would disclose data on its own buildings in 2013. Only the largest commercial buildings — over 100,000 square feet — would need to comply in 2014, and the program would extend to 50,000-square-foot in 2015. In total, the ordinance would cover 630 buildings representing about 75 percent of the city's total commercial square footage.
The city would wait one year to publish the first results so that owners would have a chance to make improvements.
Supporters at Monday's public hearing included representatives of Fresh Energy, the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, and the Natural Resources Defense Council (members of RE-AMP, which also publishes Midwest Energy News), as well as energy efficiency consultants who said the policy would help create jobs.
Stephen Todd, a Twin Cities sustainability consultant, said his firm would likely hire another employee and more contractors to help Minneapolis building owners improve efficiency before they need to start reporting energy use. That's in part based on his experience working in Austin, Texas, where a 2011 benchmarking and disclosure policy is already having an impact.
"What I see down there is that it has motivated many commercial real estate organizations to look at what they can do to optimize the performance of their buildings and try to improve the relative efficiency," Todd said. "They anticipate more market pressure... on behalf of tenants in evaluating office space."
'Green premiums' vs. 'brown discounts'
While building owners usually pay for things like windows and HVAC systems, tenants are typically the ones who pay the energy bills. That's created a split-incentive problem in commercial real estate.
Giving tenants better information for comparing building energy use gives building owners more incentive to invest in efficiency. Some may be able to charge a "green premium," but Todd said what's more likely is a "brown discount," in which an existing tenant might be able to use a building's relative inefficiency to negotiate better lease terms.
The impact of Minneapolis' ordinance would have potential to extend beyond the 630 buildings required to report, Todd said. If it's successful, tenants could start to expect Energy Star scores from anyone before signing a lease.
"If that information is readily available in Minneapolis, they're probably going to ask the same questions in St. Paul and Bloomington," Todd said.
The Minneapolis Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) encourages members to benchmark energy use — its "Kilowatt Crackdown" competition generated 13 million kWh of energy savings — but it opposes mandated disclosure.
"We question whether the proposed building rating system would add to the success of market forces already in play and are concerned about the potential for unintended negative consequences," said Kevin Lewis, executive director of BOMA Greater Minneapolis.
Lewis described a hypothetical building with outdated systems that couldn't afford expensive retrofits. "Could they lose tenants and could they go out of business?"
David Dabson, general manager of Piedmont Office Realty Trust, asked that the published disclosures only identify buildings by an ID number or address, not by name, so that the scores don't "misrepresent" tenants who names appear on the building.
Council Member Glidden said the ordinance is about taking best practices already used by some and spreading them across the city.
"It's been through BOMA that there's been a light shown on the great practices already in place by a lot of building owners... of what can happen through voluntary participation in these energy saving programs," Glidden said.
Buildings under financial distress, buildings with less than 50 percent occupancy, and buildings with less than two years of occupancy would be exempt.
The annual report would take between two to five hours to complete using the Energy Star website. Owners or managers enter information on the buildings size and use along with metered utility data. From that information, the city would publish online an energy intensity rating, an estimate of annual greenhouse gas emissions, and the building's Energy Star score, which is relative to other buildings in the country.
The city has already received a grant from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for training building owners who would be required to use the tool.
Correction: An earlier version of this story mistakenly said the policy would apply to commercial buildings 25,000 square feet and above. The policy would only apply to commercial buildings 50,000 square feet and above.
One thought on "Minneapolis plan aims to let market drive efficiency"
For large buildings with multiple tenants who have their own meters and pay their own utilities, I wonder how the building owner will aquire that information?

Nigerian Couple Who Beat Their Kids Jailed 14 yrs in London
What most Nigerians culturally do by using corporal punishment to correct their children when they do wrong and go scot free has become the albatross for two Nigerian couples resident in the United Kingdom.
For beating their six children with brooms, hoovers and wires and even giving their baby a morphine overdose after childbirth, the Nigerian couple have been jailed for seven years each in London, with the UK press calling them all sorts of names.
But the Nigerian married couple denied the allegations, claiming the children were victims of a racist witch-hunt. They were, however, found guilty of cruelty to a person under 16.
The parents convicted of a decade long campaign of abuse against their six children were jailed for seven years each yesterday.

Bobby Brown has checked into rehabilitation and is currently undergoing psychological evaluation for alcohol addiction, TMZ reports.

The 43-year-old, is being treated for alcohol abuse issues. Brown has suffered from this abuse for many years.
In March 2012, he was arrested for drinking under the influence of alcohol.
'He decided that he needed help and wants to make the best out of the rest of his life for his children's sake', a source told TMZ.

The victim, Kamoru Lamidi, was said to have died after a stone Yekini threw at his son, Sumaila, hit him.

Last week in L.A, Kenny G filed the papers through his lawyer Laura Wasser citing 'irreconcilable differences' as a reason for their split.
TMZ reports there is a prenuptial agreement between the couple. Kenny G might just be walking out of the case free of expensive future obligations as he is worth a cool $50m.

Why buy Kiln Dried Firewood? The drier the wood is, the higher the temperature the wood will burn at, causing more heat production. Homefire Kiln Dried Logs are much drier than most seasoned and partially seasoned firewood. In addition to providing greater warmth, Kiln Dried Firewood can save you from the issues created by the extra moisture in seasoned and partially seasoned firewood, such as tarring and flue problems. In fact, most stove manufacturers recommend only using truly seasoned or Kiln Dried firewood.
While most firewood in the industry is unseasoned or merely partially seasoned, we understand that you want quality for your money. That's why we're proud to offer the best Kiln Dried Firewood in the area. The Real Firewood Company is also UK Kiln Dried Firewood quality assured, so you can be confident in your purchases.
Another reason it is important to buy Kiln Dried firewood from a business as trusted and dedicated as the Real Firewood Company? Many competitors deceptively charge by weight and do not factor moisture into their prices. We charge by volume – not weight. If you wanted to purchase water, you would simply run the tap!
Our Kiln Dried Firewood is unique from many competitors' – all of our wood is derived from properly managed sustainable forests. As a testament of our dedication to quality, The Real Firewood Company is a member of the Wood Heat Association, the UK's largest renewable energy trade body and a subsidiary of the Renewable Energy Association. While we do not claim to sell the cheapest firewood available, we take care to ensure that our Kiln Dried logs are produced using the most progressive techniques.
For more insight into our high quality standards, consider this: a single supplier in Latvia sources all of our wood. They cut, process, and Kiln Dry the firewood. They then thoroughly test it before packing it into crates and re-test it before placing it into shipping containers, guaranteeing high quality dried firewood. When it arrives at our warehouse, we test it ourselves for adequate moisture content and determine quality based on factors such as log size and species types. The firewood then remains in our warehouse and is later retested to ensure that it is below our guaranteed 20% moisture content. All of this testing takes time, but here at the Real Firewood Company, we know the importance of dependability. We take extra precautions to ensure that we deliver on our guarantees.
We offer Ash, Oak, and Birch as we believe that these are the best quality species. We have recently acquired enough Ash firewood – the "King" of firewood - for the coming season, so if you order soon, we guarantee that your firewood will contain 100% pure Ash. Should you want another premium species of firewood, contact us and we will be happy to accommodate your needs. As a company that deeply cares for the well being of our customers, we should warn you that some of our competitors sell mixed hardwood, which is likely to contain Alder, Aspen, and other fast-burning inferior species.
The Real Firewood Company is a small family business that takes pride in reliably delivering ready-to-burn firewood. Not only will we deliver a product that you will believe in, but our delivery protocols ensure that it will be delivered punctually and with care. With the Real Firewood Company, you will never have to worry about your purchases being scattered on your lawn or driveway again!
Crated pallets arrive in wooden crates according to the size you order. They are ideal for delivery to flat areas such as tar or concrete. Because our hand pump trucks only operate on hard surfaces, we will not place crates on gravel or grass. Roadways must be at least 2.8 meters wide at minimum and access must be obstacle-free. Crates cannot be left at an incline. If adequate delivery cannot be ensured due to vehicle access, products will arrive at kerbside.
All of our Kiln Dried logs are delivered nationwide at no cost with a few exceptions. In order to fulfill your needs in a timely fashion, all of our products are fully stocked at all times. Deliveries are guaranteed to arrive within three to five business days or less after the date of order. If requested, we will also deliver on Saturdays for a small extra fee. If you require a rush delivery, please dial our hotline number for next day delivery at a low surcharge of £10. In order to reduce prices for our most loyal customers, we also release exclusive discounts and special offers to customers who sign up for our newsletter.
Unfortunately, we cannot remove old pallets from previous deliveries. However, pallets make for excellent kindling for your next pallet of firewood as they are made from untreated timber!
Most firewood companies take weeks to deliver on their promises. The Real Firewood Company, on the other hand, has a reputation for excellent service. Our ideology is simple: we want to offer you the highest quality Kiln Dried firewood in exchange for your money. No headaches. The firewood market lacks reliable suppliers; the Real Firewood Company was established with thirty years' knowledge of the forestry industry and this is what we have kept in mind since our inception. You can rest assured that when you order Homefire Kiln Dried Logs from us, you will get a quality product that you will come back for time and time again!
In order to maintain the quality of your Kiln Dried firewood, you should store it in a well-ventilated shed or garage after delivery. Alternatively, you may place your firewood under a waterproof cover that protects the entire top of the stack, but is open on the sides. You should also keep firewood raised off the ground.

First and foremost, I'd like to express my appreciation to the developers for all of their hard work so far on this promising plugin.
That being said, this plugin has issues and is not quite ready to be used on a production-level website.
Here's some of what I've noticed so far...
- The [APCAL] shortcode isn't setup correctly. All of the JavaScript links and HTML code is directly outputted at runtime using
echoinstead of being stored into a variable and returned to WordPress for rendering within the WP's
This causes a number of issues: The calendar gets rendered before the WP template does (so it's outside the template) and all of the JavaScript and CSS links get put within the HTML body instead of being inside the
The issue of the HTML code getting directly outputted can be fixed by using PHP Output Buffering:
ob_start();at the beginning of the
appointment_calendar_shortcodefunction (within the appointment-calendar-shortcode.php file), and then putting
$htmlOut = ob_get_clean(); ob_end_clean(); return $htmlOut;right before the end of the function. This way, all HTML output is returned for WordPress to use in
As for the JavaScript & CSS links issues, WordPress' provided functions
wp_enqueue_style()would fix those in a heartbeat.
- Upon submitting an appointment, 2 appointments get created instead of just 1. I'm not sure why this is yet, but I'll post an update later as soon as I figure out a fix.
- The notification/confirmation e-mail messages can't be edited from the WordPress back-end. The plugin developers have really tried do a good job of writing them, but the language isn't entirely correct. It would be nice if admins could write their own, using the TinyMCE editor and
%variable_placeholders%for things like name, date, start time, etc.
This was a breeze for me to do with the client site I'm working on now, especially since
strip_tags()can be used to derive a plain-text version from the HTML version, and then both the HTML & plain-text versions can be sent in the same message (using the
Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=whatevere-mail header) which lets the recipient's client software pick which should be displayed.
- Under "Manage Appointments", there's no one-click Approve or Cancel buttons. Not having these adds an extra step to the process of approving an appointment: The admin has to click "Update Appointment", then select "Approved", then save it. This works just fine, but it makes approving the appointments more tedious.
- A lot of the settings are stored to the
wp_optionstable in serialized array format. I'd prefer to see them stored using JSON format (using
json_encode() andjson_decode()`) simply because it makes them more searchable by MySQL and less prone to breakage, but I suppose it's up to the developers.
Some of these seem critical in my mind, while others would just be nice to have. All in all, this is a very promising plugin that's off to great start.
I'd happily contribute if the developers have a git repository :-) Keep up the good work, guys - You've almost got it!

The LSU Tigers go into the 2011 season with much optimism, loads of talent, new faces and some changes.
The goal is set as a BCS championship, and Tigers fans will see anything less as a missed opportunity.
There are many stories and answers to questions to look forward to as the season approaches, but they all stem down to one thing. Are we going to be better than last season?
Improvement is the key. The Tigers had success in 2010 but fell just short of the ultimate goal: BCS glory.
The BCS title game returns to the Louisiana Superdome in January 2012, and the LSU Tigers and their fans hope that the trophy stays in the state after the game.

I was working for the rusty canteen for 3 1/2 months. During that time I was only paid in tips no hourly wage.
Most nights I would work 8-12 hours, sometimes 4-5 nights a week. My tips where very small everynight. I might have made 150 per month.
I was just wondering if what she did was legal but I got fired. Because she couldnt pay me.

After contacting the Better Business Bureau(complaint #353440)they contacted MCI and they(MCI) gave me my points on 9-14-01.
The Better Business Bureau sent me a follow up 1 month later asking if the situation was resolved . I said yes so that should have been it.
On Oct 24 MCI requested my points back from American Express. American Express then gave my 5000 points(cost)back to MCI. With numerous calls back to MCI no one will give me a answer. I have all documentation and some names(Ray Allen MCI supervisor 703-341-2943)he was the most helpful if I can say that.
On Dec.13-01 I spoke to a Karl and he said he would get my points back by close of business on Dec 14 2001. This did not happen.

The first conceptual drawings for a proposed new emergency operations center in Dothan were released.
The City of Dothan and the Houston County E-911 Advisory Committee met Thursday to go over the first conceptual drawings for the new operations center.
The group estimates that the price of the building will be more than $9-million dollars.
The committee is attempting to secure a grant that could be used for construction.
The committee also discussed next year's operating budget. Like many entities, they have more requests than money to cover them.

Selena and Peter plan to have a family game night once a week, and Selena will make her special taco dinner that Bella has requested every week since the beginning of her stay in the hospital.
Last week Bella was transferred to the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston to begin her road to recovery, but was back in the Boston Children's Hospital within 24 hours because she got pneumonia.
"It was a setback but it's very important that her health is at it's best before she goes onto the next stage," said Roarty.
After a month or two in Spaulding Bella will be transferred to Shriner's Hospital for Children in Philadelphia where she will learn to use prosthetic limbs and get back on her feet again.
"We don't know exactly when she will receive the prosthetic limbs, but when she is released from Boston she will learn how to use models and go from there," Roarty said.
The cost is mounting for the Roarty family. Their home in Londonderry will need extensive modifications to accommodate a wheelchair.
Selena, who is also her primary insurance holder, must be by her side during the extensive rehabilitation process and therefore she will be unable to work (she is also a flight attendant with Jet Blue), causing the family to lose significant income.
Since her mother will be with her during this process, the family needs funds for daycare of their other children. Lastly, she will be faced with medical challenges for the rest of her life.
Several fundraisers have been held in New Hampshire for Bella, and two have been organized for the New York area.
The first one is at Manhattan bar Blue Ruin, located on 538 Ninth Avenue, on Friday, June 18 from 8-11 p.m.
A second benefit if planned for Saturday, June 19 at the VFW in Lynbrook, Long Island from 7-11 p.m.
When Bella is in full recovery Roarty and his family plan to go to Ireland to visit the home of his parents.
"I go over there all the time, but Selena and I have been planning to bring the kids someday and my parents have a house there so we look forward to it," said Roarty.
Donations can be made to the Bella Tucker Fund via the PayPal link or by mail to the Bella Tucker Fund, P.O. Box 199, Londonderry, New Hampshire 03053.

Sales at the 511-store retail chain have grown by an average of 17% a year for the past 10 years, enabling Dick's to claim 8.5% of the hotly contested U.S. market.
Dick's stock (ticker: DKS) has also been a high scorer, rallying more than 60% in the past five years, to a recent $49. The shares could reach $60 in the next 12 months, if Dick's continues to post mid-teens earnings growth.
The retailer is likely to report net income of $323 million, or $2.56 a share, for the fiscal year that ended in January 2013, on revenue of $5.9 billion. It could earn as much as $3 a share in fiscal 2014. "Dick's is a good long-term growth story," says Brian Lazorishak, who bought shares in November for his Chase MidCap Growth fund.

Dick's expects to operate 900 stores before reaching saturation, almost double its current store base. Some analysts think the company could open at least 36 new stores this year, which would help power earnings growth. Wall Street's consensus forecast calls for earnings of $2.92 a share in fiscal 2014.
Lazorishak regards Dick's as one of the safest ways to invest in sporting-goods retailing, given the company's diversified merchandise mix, consistent earnings record, and strong balance sheet. Dick's boasted net cash of $272 million, or $2.16 a share, as of the end of October, after accounting for $22 million of debt and lease obligations.

The analyst's $60 price target implies a price/earnings ratio of 21 a share, within the company's historic range.
Dick's pays a modest annual dividend of 50 cents a share, for a yield of 1%.
Dick's shares peaked last September at $54.24, amid concern that warmer-than-usual winter weather would crimp sales of outerwear and winter sports equipment. Investors also worried about the future of gun sales, after a Dec. 14 massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., provoked an outcry that could lead to congressional action banning certain types of rifles and ammunition clips.
After the shootings, Dick's announced it would suspend sales of so-called modern sporting rifles temporarily in all its stores. The worries seem misplaced as semi-automatic rifles represent an estimated 1% of total sales, and guns and ammunition in general account for a mid-single-digit percentage of sales.

DICK'S WAS FOUNDED in Binghamton, N.Y., in 1948, by 18-year-old Dick Stack, as a bait-and-tackle shop. Today the retailer is run by his son, Ed Stack, 58, who controls nearly 20% of the company, mostly through super-voting Class B stock. Dick's has grown sharply through the years, sometimes through acquisitions, including the 2004 purchase of Galyan's Trading. A 2007 deal for Golf Galaxy made Dick's the nation's largest golf-products retailer.
The Bottom Line
Dick's has rallied 60%, to $49, in the past five years, but could tack on further gains of 20% or more. The company thinks it could roll out 50% more stores before saturating the country.
The company reports results in three categories. Hardlines, including fitness equipment, comprises 52% of sales; apparel contributes 29%; and footwear, 19%. Dick's target audience includes sports enthusiasts, families, and outdoorsmen. The company's emphasis on in-store boutiques organized by brand further differentiates it from competitors. Moreover, accredited fitness trainers and golf pros are on hand to offer customers' tips.
Standard & Poor's analyst Joseph Agnese rates Dick's Hold, and worries that weak consumer spending on discretionary items will crimp company sales. Longer-term threats include Amazon.com AMZN 1.2881641684887122% Amazon.com Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD769 9.78 1.2881641684887122% /Date(1472245200139-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 2744759 AFTER HOURS USD769.2 0.200000000000045 0.02600780234070221% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 32071 P/E Ratio 191.56515457240366 Market Cap 364562909942.627 Dividend Yield N/A Rev. per Employee 522691 More quote details and news » (AMZN), as well as Sports Authority, which could regain some of its former muscle. Sports Authority officials weren't available for comment
In the meantime, look for an 8% uptick in sales in the current year, driven by gains in unit growth, same-store sales, and widening profit margins, the result of a continued shift to soft goods, such as apparel, from products such as fitness equipment.
Americans love to participate in sports, and the numbers suggest that Dick's suits their needs. Chances are the original Dick would be awfully proud of that.
Game's On
Dick's controls 8.5% of the U.S. sporting-goods market, versus Foot Locker's 6%. Dick's shares are pricier than competitors', but are supported by fast-rising earnings.

Oct.8, Part 1...Happy National Pierogi Day!
Over a year ago
I love stuffed pockets of anything…samosas, empanadas, turnovers, calzones. Pierogi are the Polish version, usually boiled then baked or fried to golden crispy yumfulness. Traditionally they're filled with potatoes, veggies, cheese…dessert pierogi may contain any fruityjammy thing you like. 🙂

Apple Gets Emmy Award
Date: Wednesday, August 22nd, 2001, 08:48
Category: Archive
Despite a respectable effort by Sony to build hype around its Vaio R505 laptop in a special "test drive" in front of Grand Central Station here in New York, Apple's Titanium stole the show again — and it didn't even have to show up.
In contrast to his usual secrecy, Jobs is up-front in a press release about Apple Expo Paris: no new hardware will be introduced. "My keynote will focus on Mac OS X v10.1, the super-fast new version of Mac OS X, and our revolutionary new iDVD 2 software, which lets users create their own custom DVDs that can be played on consumer DVD players," says Jobs. "This has been an incredible new product year for Apple, so we don?t plan to launch any new hardware products in Paris this year."
It should come as no surprise that Apple will not announce new hardware in Paris. The new hardware introduced at MacWorld was just so conservative that many think of it as not being new.
