Local elephants facing extinction
PETALING JAYA (Dec 13, 2012): Elephants in Peninsular Malaysia are in danger of becoming extinct, says World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Malaysia.
It is estimated that there are only about 1,220 to 1,680 Asian elephants left in Peninsular Malaysia. This is based on the data collected from 2000 to 2012 by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP).
WWF Malaysia Species Conservation manager Dr Han Kwai Hin said habitat loss, illegal hunting, and retaliatory killing are the major threats that cause the number of wild elephants to dwindle.

KOTA KINABALU, Malaysia - The use of electric fencing at plantations can help ease human-elephant conflicts, said Sabah Wildlife Department director Dr Laurentius Ambu.
However, he said despite the fact that some big landowners had fenced their estates to avoid crop raiding, many owners still did not switch on the power on their electric fences.

"We want to make the tourism sector our backbone and top revenue earner in the years to come.
"This is because unlike commodities like petroleum and gas, it would not deplete in supply.
"The recent flunctuation of global oil price also create uncertainties," he said in his winding up speech at the last day sitting of the state assembly here on Wedneday.

Wildlife under threat
March 31, 2009
AT the rate of deforestation and habitat fragmentation in their state, Johoreans will have to brace for more human-wildlife conflicts.
The northern and eastern districts of Johor – Segamat, Mersing, and Kota Tinggi – can expect to experience more intrusions of elephants, in particular, into plantations and other farm land.
As forests are cleared. wild jumbos have to be relocated to other areas.
The southern state has witnessed a prolonged conflict with the pachyderm since the late 1980s as forests were cleared for human settlements and converted into agricultural land especially for oil palm plantations by the private sector as well as the Felda (Federal Land Development Agency) scheme.
The problem is to be expected as these forests are important wildlife habitats, judging from the three huge areas gazetted – the Endau-Kluang, Endau-Kota Tinggi and Segamat Wildlife Reserves (WR) – in 1933. Segamat WR has ceased to exist today.
The Department of Wildlife and National Park (Perhilitan) has translocated 99 elephants from this region since 1994. The displaced creatures were mostly relocated to Endau Rompin National Park and the Terengganu side of Taman Negara.

Elephant Attack: 18,000 Oil Palm Trees Destroyed
April 04, 2009
GUA MUSANG, April 4 (Bernama) - A company, which has been awarded a contract to plant oil palms near Pos Blau here, suffered huge losses when 18,000 of the one-year-old palm trees in the 600 hectare plantation were destroyed by elephants since a month ago.
Syarikat Pembangunan Ladang Khazanah Nadi Alam Enterprise manager, Mohd Khazanah Ab Rahman estimated the company losses at almost RM500,000.
He said a herd of five elephants entered the plantation almost every night and destroyed the oil palm trees, as well as banana trees grown as cash crop at the plantation.
The elephants had destroyed about 10,000 of the 75,000 banana trees in the plantation, he told Bernama here.
Mohd Khazanah said workers at the plantation had taken various measures, including burning old tyres at night, to keep away the elephants, but were futile, adding that replanting of the oil palms would be carried out only after the pachyderm returned to the forest area.
He said the attacks by the elephants also caused the 60 workers at the plantation to fear for their safety.

Borneo pygmy elephants, planters battle for land
February 23, 2009
SUKAU, Malaysia (Reuters Life!) - Deprived of access to his favourite food, a pygmy elephant trumpets furiously and charges at wildlife officials, a manifestation of this rare species' battle against Malaysia's key palm oil industry.
Some herds of pygmy elephants, an endangered species according to conservation body the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF), are thriving on the fruit of palm oil plantations that encroach on their domains on Borneo island.
This has intensified the challenges to a mainstay of the economy in this South East Asian country of 27 million people, and the aggression the elephants show against humans.

New Survey Finds More than 600 Asian Elephants
14 January 2009
A new survey of dung has revealed a population of hundreds of endangered Asian elephants living in a Malaysian park. The animals could be the largest-known set of these pachyderms in Southeast Asia.
The researchers counted dung piles to estimate that there are 631 Asian elephants living in Taman Negara National Park — a 4,343 square kilometer (1,676 square mile) protected area in the center of Peninsular Malaysia. This result confirms the largest-known population of elephants remaining in this part of the world, according to the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) and Malaysia's Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP), which partnered to study the elephants.
Asian elephants are endangered due to habitat loss and poaching; between 30,000 and 50,000 may remain in 13 Asian countries. The Asian elephant is listed on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species and has seen a drastic reduction in total population across its range as a result of illegal poaching, increased human-wildlife conflict and other threats.

Elephant Problem Solvable If Illegal Logging Stopped
January 3, 2009
BANDA ACEH, Jan 3 (Bernama) -- Wild elephant incursions into human settlements in Aceh will continue if nothing is done to stop illegal logging in forest areas, Antara news agency reported quoting a local nature conservation official as saying.
"The problem will persist unless illegal logging is stopped," Andi Basrul, head of the Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA), said here Saturday.
During December 2008, wild elephants had invaded a number of villages in Aceh, damaged a few houses and injured several people.
Basrul said his agency could not do much to stop the animals' incursions because they were merely reacting to the damage being done to their habitat.

Injured elephants on the rise, says Sabah wildlife dept
October 11, 2008
The Sabah Wildlife Department (SWD) has a mammoth problem on its hands.
It is increasingly concerned over the rise in the number of injured and dead elephants in the state.
In one instance, a 25-year veteran wildlife guide and lecturer was reduced to tears when he saw a calf (young elephant) in excruciating pain after falling prey to a man-made trap in Kinabatangan.
SWD director Laurentius Ambu noted that the bigger issue facing the department involved elephants getting injured or maimed, mostly due to man-made traps and subsequently succumbing to the injuries.
He said that early last month, a calf was found dead from unknown causes.
"Such traps are usually set by oil palm plantation workers to make ends meet by trapping wild boars and deers for sale to restaurants or self-consumption.

Visitors To Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary Up 34 Pct In 2007, Says ECER
September 29. 2008
KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 29 (Bernama) -- The National Elephant Conservation Centre in Kuala Gandah has seen a 34 percent increase in visitors in 2007 compared to the previous year.
Earmarked as a wildlife reserve under the East Coast Economic Region (ECER), the centre received a total of 81,017 visitors last year from 60,436 in 2006, ECER said in statement here today.
The centre's elephant unit chief, Nasharuddin Othman, said most of the foreign tourists who visited the elephant sanctuary were from Australia, UK, New Zealand, Japan and Germany.
He said the number of both local and foreign visitors keep increasing every year.
"In 2005, there were 38,863 visitors. This figure rose to 60,436 in 2006. We have attracted a lot of visitors due to the fact that this is the only place in Malaysia where visitors are able to observe closely and understand the handling and management of trans-located Asian elephants," Nasharuddin said.

Probe into elephant's death
September 20, 2008
KOTA KINABALU: The death of a male Borneo Pygmy elephant near a jungle resort in the Kinabatangan district early this month has sparked an investigation by the Sabah Wildlife Department.
The department is probing the cause of death of the elephant, estimated to be about two years old. Its carcass showed no visible injuries.
The department's officer-in-charge in Kota Kinabatangan, Roland Nuin, received information about the dead elephant on Sept 2 and sent a team to the scene.
"Unfortunately, by the time the carcass was found and reported to us, it was already decomposing, which makes it hard for us to determine the cause of death," Nuin said in a statement issued yesterday.

Rare images captured in the wild
September 18, 2008
KOTA KINABALU: Scientists doing research in the jungles of Sabah have recently returned with some exciting photographs.
One was a picture of the rare Sumatran rhinocerous captured with a motion triggered camera, while the other was a series of images of two adult elephants helping a month-old calf across a river.
Sabah Wildlife Department director Laurentius Ambu said both achievements would go a long way in efforts to preserve the two rare and endangered species in the Sabah jungles.
"Monitoring and protection of the animals through the research work done by scientists can boost their number as it helps deter poachers and secure habitat from further degradation and illegal encroachment."
The image of the Sumatran rhino, taken from its rear, is the second made in the wild and this time it was by scientists Ross Jo and Andrew Hearn who are studying the Bornean-clouded leopard under the Global Canopy Programme, which is based in the UK.

Research on jumbos' social life
September 15, 2008
SANDAKAN: A conservationist is now studying the social structure of Sabah's Borneo elephants after past research had focused on genetics.
"We do not yet understand their actual family structures and group dynamics," said Nurzhafarina Othman, a biologist at Danau Girang Field Centre.
Nurzhafarina, whose reasearch would be based on actual observations, would be working with the Elephant Conservation Unit (co-founded by French non-governmental organisation Hutan and the Sabah Wildlife Depart-ment).
DNA information would also be collected via the faeces of the elephants.
The data gathered would assist the department in managing the Kinabatangan elephant population.
As the elephants have lost much of their habitat due to land conversion, they need to "zig-zag" across the land to find food, Nurzhafarina said.
"And of course this includes the need to cross rivers to get to feeding grounds.
"However, river crossings are quite stressful for elephants, especially the young, which have to contend with strong currents and the dangers of crocodiles," said Nurzhafarina.
Wildlife experts worldwide often speak about the protective and nurturing nature of elephants, which are quite regularly seen in the wild.
The Sabah population of Bornean Elephant was estimated at about 1,500 in a 2002 study lead by the department.

Habitat Loss Threatens Pygmy Elephants
August 8, 2007
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- Satellite tracking of pygmy elephants has found that the endangered animals _ unique to Borneo island _ are under threat due to logging and commercial plantations encroaching on their habitat, conservationists said Thursday.
A World Wildlife Fund study, based on two years of satellite tracking, found that pygmy elephants thrive best in forests on flat lowlands and in river valleys _ the same terrain preferred by loggers and oil palm plantations.
About 40 percent of forest in the Malaysian state of Sabah, where most pygmy elephants live, has been lost to logging, conversion for plantations and human settlement over the last four decades, WWF said.
Very little was known about pygmy elephants until a chance DNA analysis in 2003 revealed them to be a distinct subspecies of Asian elephants, which triggered a new effort to conserve them.
In June 2005, the WWF set in motion a landmark project to track pygmy elephants in the rain forests of Sabah by placing collars fitted with transmitters around the necks of five elephants, known to be leaders of their herds.
The collars beamed their locations via satellite to a WWF-Malaysia computer as often as once a day in the first study of its kind, providing valuable information about the elephants' grazing habits and movement patterns.

HULU TERENGGANU: Villagers here are resorting to fireworks to scare away elephant herds that they claimed had been ravaging their crops over the last few weeks.
Some of the villagers in Durian Bador, Kuala Menjing, Sekayu and Padang Setar here said they had once caught sight of 13 elephants at their smallholds, mostly planted with corn and other food crops.
They said this had been going on for more than a decade, but began to get worse over the last few weeks.
"We are terrified and concerned that the elephants may turn violent if confronted," said villager Abdul Razak Samad, 60.

Malaysia's warning to highway drivers: Don't honk at elephants
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia: Elephants are straying onto one of Malaysia's main highways, prompting the government to warn drivers not to trigger a possible rampage by honking at the animals, a news report said Sunday.
The warning came after a motorist claimed to have been chased for about 50 meters (160 feet) earlier this month by a herd of elephants that had been blocking part of the East-West Highway. No injuries were reported in the incident.
Sazmi Miah, parliamentary secretary of the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry, said elephants are often spotted crossing the 125-kilometer (78-mile) highway, which cuts through forested territory in peninsular Malaysia.

A rogue herd's year-long reign of terror ends
January 27, 2007
KUANTAN, SAT.: She was the ringleader, steering her cohorts on destructive rampages around several villages and signalling the retreat when things got too hot. Her year-long reign of terror ended yesterday.
The female elephant, believed to be 20 to 30 years old, was caught after her latest exploit at Kampung Nadak Seberang last Thursday.
For the past year she has led the raids of about 20 elephants on oil palm holdings and orchards here and in Panching, destroying crops and trees.
State Wildlife and National Parks Protection Department director, Inche Ali Che Aman, said after complaints from the villagers a team of 10 rangers was sent to track down the rogue herd on Thursday. The next day they found the elephants in a nearby forest.

It was a shimmering, lustrous pile of elephant dung.
"Wow. Very fresh. So nice," said elephant researcher Cynthia Boon as she broke into a smile.
Boon pinched a bit of the human head-sized bolus and sniffed it.
The team whipped out their dung-assessing gear — a GPS reader, compass, measuring tape and identification tag — and began noting how far it was decayed, the size and exact location.

Trust seeks to preserve Borneo's forests
December 14, 2006
A trust established in October to preserve Malaysia's diminishing rain forests is seeking donors to help buy land to create preservation areas for elephants, orangutans and other animals in Sabah State in Borneo.
The Borneo Conservation Trust plans to buy 5,936 hectares of land along the Kinabatangan River and 270 hectares along the Segama River at a cost of about 6 billion yen.
The trust was the brainchild of Toshinori Tsubouchi, a wildlife specialist dispatched by the Japan International Cooperation Agency to Sabah, and is promoted by Saraya Co., an Osaka-based company producing soap made from palm oil made in Sabah.

Wild elephants stampede through northern Malaysian plantation
The Associated Press
October 14, 2006
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Wild elephants rampaged through a Malaysian plantation district, trampling more than 1,000 banana and rubber trees, a news report said Saturday.
At least four elephants believed to be foraging for food ventured out of a jungle Friday and tore through a rural plantation in the northern state of Kedah, shocking villagers whose livelihood depends on the crops, The Star newspaper reported.
"I hope they will not make rampaging a habit," said resident Hussin Rashid, whose 300 banana trees were destroyed. The report included a photograph of villagers pointing at flattened trees.
Villagers have urged wildlife officials to patrol the area over the next few days to prevent the pachyderms from returning amid fears that they might attack humans.
Elephants are common in Malaysia's tropical forests. Their habitat has been reduced in recent years by logging and clearing of land for development activities, causing some to occasionally invade nearby plantations and farms for food.

Lost elephant back in Belum
New Straits Time September 13, 2006 JELI:
A lost juvenile elephant, which has been roaming the jungles and orchards near Kampung Lata Janggut near here for the past month, is back in familiar territory.
Captured by the state Wildlife rangers on Saturday, the pachyderm was taken on a two-and-a-half-hour journey to the Belum state park in Grik, Perak, where it was released yesterday. The operation started at 8am with two trained elephants, Cik Mek and Lokimala, guiding the young one out from near a stream, behind the village where it had been kept since its capture, to a timber camp 1km away. It was sedated and given antibiotics for an injured foot before being put on a lorry to the Jeli District Wildlife office where it was fed and washed.
Cik Mek and Lokimala, trained for such a task, were brought here by a 12-member team from the National Elephant Conservation Centre in Kuala Gandah, Pahang, on Monday. Department elephant unit head Nasharuddin Othman said Cik Mek was from the centre while Lokimala was based at the Malacca Zoo. He said the rogue elephant, believed to be 18 years old, had been feasting on fruits and damaging fruit trees belonging to villagers. "The elephant was released in Belum in the evening as it was much cooler and to prevent it from getting stressed."

Ambigram Tattoos
Ambigram Tattoos
When it comes to the tattoo world, there are some things that tend to be popular for awhile, making them a fad. Some fads are sort of silly, while other fads are actually very unique and fun. One of the more unique fads to come around recently is ambigram tattoos. What is an ambigram? An ambigram is a word or phrase that reads the same in more than one direction. For instance, if you could read the word ambigram one way, and then flipped it over and could still read the word ambigram, you have created an ambigram.
Ambigram tattoos are great fun because not only can you have one word become an ambigram, but you may be able to create two words into one ambigram. Take names. If you and your spouse have names that work, you could have ambigram tattoos for each of you that read both your name and your spouse's name. One way it may read the name Mindy, for instance, and the other way it may read the name Scott. There is, however, one problem with ambigram tattoos, and that is that they're not the easiest thing to create.
Even the best artist may have a difficult time creating ambigram tattoos for you, which is why you may want to look to another area in order to get ambigram tattoos that you will like and that actually work. There are a few different websites available now which create an ambigram for you out of one or two words using a software program. Once you create an ambigram you like, print out the design (you may have to pay for it) and take it to your tattoo artist. They should be easily able to transfer the image into something that they can tattoo on your body for all to see.

Cycle course: 7 laps, Technical corners, One large bridge,
Run Course: 3 laps,
The course layout and locations will be the same as last year. 2 laps
Swim, 7 laps Bike and 3 laps Run. The run turnaorund is to be set at the end
of the descent on the south side of the Southern Gate Bridge. Instead, the
bike turn will be 300 m away from the run turn.
Run course turnaround is the same for all three laps.
Wheel stops will be located at two places. One is in front of the head
quarters at the transition area. The other is at the "730" intersection.
Four (4) aid stations per lap planned on the run course.
Race day tide level: It will be high tide and almost completely flat
during the women's race. For the men's race, the tide will be gradually
going out. It is likely to swim with the current from the start and swim
against after the turnaround. Though the tidal current will be slow, 10cm
per 30 minutes, unexpected current may take place on the entire course.
Tide level on 11th (Fri) and 12th (Sat) will see no big change. Important
notice is that athletes will be allowed to swim at the official swim
training times only. This is due to fishing boats on their jobs.
You may be encouraged to observe the the current conditions on the top of
the Southern gate bridge.

Ok so this month we flip the script. Lets see what you can do with your body weight.
This month will be L-sit or any variation for time. Variations include but are not limited to: L-hang, tuck hang, tuck sit, V sit… Be creative and use the equipment you have. Also to make evaluation easier please use the same variation at the end of the month so we are comparing apples to apples. It is great if you have progressed but that should mean your beginning variant should be held longer than the first time.
Thank you again to the crew that came to my seminar at Crossfit Coastal for being my guinea pigs.
Don't laugh too hard at me, i promise i used to be able to do this for a minute and a half… Lets see if i can get it back by the end of the month!!
PS i will be compiling the results from last month and getting a post up about the winners as well as sending them a link to the new widget for your site.

Invisible Baby
Live at Tonic
Better known for bringing cinematic postrock to the jam-band scene in the Benevento/Russo Duo, keysman Marco Benevento accrued substantial jazz chops via studies with Brad Mehldau, Kenny Werner and Joanne Brackeen. When not touring rock clubs, the 30-year-old Jersey native is a mainstay in New York's improv and experimental scenes, and the fruit of his labor is evident on a recent pair of albums; a trio record dubbed Invisible Baby, and an ambitious triple- disc set recorded live at the now-defunct out-music mecca Tonic
Featuring Benevento on piano, Reed Mathis on bass and drummers Andrew Barr and Matt Chamberlain splitting duties on the kit, Invisible Baby boasts eight original compositions and finds Benevento—who's usually behind a B3—pumping a grand piano through Leslie speakers and projector amps, and tinkering with toys like Mellotron, Speak and Spell and a vintage church organ. But toys aside, Benevento delivers some memorable and introspective compositions like "Record Book," a pensive tune that showcases his melodic and understated playing. "The Real Morning Party" features an infectious synth-laden head and a hypnotic drum solo wherein Andrew Barr bangs on silver salad bowls and brake pads.
Live at Tonic showcases Benevento the improviser alongside some high-profile friends: drummers Joe Russo and Bobby Previte, former Phish bassist Mike Gordon and Sex Mob's Steven Bernstein. The three-disc set, recorded during Benevento's Lower East Side residency in November 2006, draws from many of his own compositions, a multitude of covers and a few jams composed on the spot. Carly Simon's "Nobody Does it Better" is dark and apocalyptic in scope, a take on Spencer Davis Group's "Gimme Some Lovin'" is raucous and fun, and Monk's "Bye Ya" illustrates Benevento's simple enthusiasm and skill on the ivories. Beyond the hype, this is an audacious, deep-thinking young player.

Review: With Sinister 'The Sacrament' Ti West Transcends A Done-To-Death Genre
I'll admit it - I'm so sick of found footage flicks. What started as a clever and cheap device for filmmakers Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez back in 1999 for their breakout horror flick "The Blair Witch Project" (not the first of course, but certainly the most prolific!) has spawned so many subpar films that it's all but exhausted every aspect of the first person camera movement. And yet with his uncanny ability to manipulate tone and pace effectively, "The House of the Devil" and "The Innkeepers" filmmaker Ti West manages with his latest film "The Sacrament" to transcend and actually overcome the done-to-death style and add yet another notable movie notch to his impressive body of work.
Patrick is a fashion photographer whose drug-addicted sister Caroline has gone missing, but one day he receives a mysterious letter. It's from Caroline and it states not only has she found solace and rehabilitation in a local commune called Eden Parish, but also she wants her brother to come to its undisclosed location to meet her there. Weary and worried, Patrick brings along two Vice media correspondents to document the event and see what the commune is all about.
As with most of West's work the slow and simmering build of the piece is front and center and in "The Sacrament" it's actually two-fold. For the first part sees West creating a lush and almost serene like vibe with Eden Parish, a seemingly beautiful, non-judgmental and almost ideal place to live that's void of the cult-like trappings normally associated with such places. The second part, of course, is the stuff that usually follows, an unraveling of paradise if you will and it's equally as poignant and powerful. All are a part of that Ti West design that almost always becomes about the journey as opposed to the destination and gets the most out of what is not seen. As far as the acting goes, there are some West regulars here like AJ Bowen and Joe Swanberg as the skeptical camera/interview team, as well as Amy Seimetz as the strange sister Caroline. But the true knockout performance of this show is the charismatic, yet creepy turn by Gene Jones as the commune's leader simply called Father. So odd, eerie and captivating is the work by Jones that it's not hard to see why the disillusioned lambs of Eden Parish would follow his every word – he knows his audience.
Yes, the documentary style footage that the film employs does make one wish West had simply gone the normal film route. But thankfully the director and his Cinematographer Eric Robbins never let it distract from the impact of the piece and any damaging effect on "The Sacrament" as a film is minimal to none. It simply goes to show that even in the face of a dying and overblown genre, a little Ti West goes a long way.

Impairment-related work expenses are ordinary and necessary business expenses for attendant care services at your place of work and other expenses in connection with your place of work that are necessary for you to be able to work. Where to report. If you are an employee, any impairment-related work expenses can be reported on Form 2106 efile it or 2106-EZ efile it .

Losses from Other Activities - Schedule K-1 (Form 1065-B), Box 2 If the amount reported in Schedule K-1 (Form 1065-B), box 2, is a loss, report it on Schedule A (Form 1040), line 27, or Schedule A (Form 1040NR), line 16 (only if effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business). It is not subject to the passive activity limitations. Repayments Under Claim of Right If you had to repay more than $3,000 that you included in your income in an earlier year, because at the time you thought you had an unrestricted right to it, you may be able to deduct the amount you repaid, or take a credit against your tax. More information about Repayments Un-recovered Investments in Annuity A retiree who contributed to an investment in an annuity can exclude from income a part of each payment received as a tax-free return of the retiree's investment. If the retiree dies before the entire investment is recovered tax-free, any un-recovered investment can be deducted on the retiree's final income tax return. More information about Pension and Annuity Income. Performing Artists If you qualify as a performing artist, you can deduct your employee business expenses as an adjustment to income rather than as a miscellaneous itemized deduction. To qualify, you must meet all three of the following requirements: You perform performing arts services for at least two employers during your tax year. (You are considered to have performed services in the performing arts for an employer only if that employer paid you $200 or more.) Your allowable business expenses related to the performing arts exceed 10% of your gross income from the performing arts. Your adjusted gross income is equal to or less than $16,000 before deducting these business expenses. If you do not meet all of the above requirements, you must deduct your expenses as a miscellaneous itemized deduction subject to the 2% limit. Special rules for married persons. If you are married, you must file a joint return unless you lived apart from your spouse at all times during the tax year.

Name: Lara Gochin Raffaelli, editor/translator of Gabriele D'Annunzio's Pleasure
Favorite Penguin Classic Title/Author: Three Novels of New York by Edith Wharton
Why do you love this Penguin Classic? Edith Wharton is one of my all-time favorite authors and I have read every one of her books. I've read The House of Mirth over and over again and think about it very often. One of my favorite quotes comes from The Age of Innocence: "There was no use in trying to emancipate a wife who had not the dimmest notion that she was not free"; it appeals to the enduring feminist in me.
What should I read next?: I'd love to re-read Middlemarch, by George Eliot. I loved this book.

Light Angel
Light Angel is a new security feature that activates when motion is detected. It is so easy to install and can be placed in your doors or anywhere you want. It is automatic and uses LEDs. With the use of batteries, you don't have to worry of the cords and installing it is as easy as 1-2-3.
The Claim
What's great about this highly innovated light device is its easy to install feature. Since it is battery powered and completely cordless, you can place it in any location that you want - may it be in your windows, at your entrance door, backyard or even in your gates. It also has an adjustable swivel that you can easily move to the angle that you desire and to the areas where you want the light to be focused. Light Angel automatically lights up when motion is detected. You can even place it in roofless areas and expose it in the rain since it is waterproof. This device can help you feel more secured from intruders and is way less expensive than any other security devices. The ultra-bright LEDs lights up so fast because of the motion technology equipped in it and stay on for 30 seconds. Not to mention, each bulb can last for up to 100,000 hours!
Total Cost Breakdown
The cost of Light Angel is $10.00 plus $7.99 shipping. The special TV offer allows you to receive a second Light Angel by paying the extra shipping fee of $6.99 for a total price of $24.98.

What is the Light Angel?
There are several security devices that are available to help people feel secure at the office or at home. Most of the security devices have to do with turning on lights and that usually is sufficient to ward away intruders. The Light Angel is a wonderful security device that can add to the existing security in a home or act as the only most affordable security device in a home.
How does it work?
The Light Angel is made of LED lights that light up when the device senses any motion. It is a perfect security device that is both affordable and easy to install. The Light Angel can be mounted anywhere there is a window or a door and runs on batteries.
The features of the Light Angel are as follows:
- LED Lights
- Battery Operated
- All Weather Compatible
- Wireless
- Swivel Head
- Water Resistant
The Light Angel is run on LED lights that can glow for up to 100,000 hours. The Light Angel is wireless and runs only on batteries. The Light Angel has a swivel head that can be turned to any direction that security is sensitive at.
The Light Angel is one of the most easiest security devices that can be installed in a home. Every feature that comes with the Light Angel is specifically to make it affordable, easy to use and easy to install. There is motion sensor that activates the light as soon as anything is felt to be moving within the range of the Light Angel.
The Light Angel is used to light up doorways and backyards. In fact even windows that are susceptible to break-ins can have a Light Angel fit over it. In this way, as soon as the light begins to glow, people will be able to tell that there is someone they know or unknown who might have turned up. It is a perfect outdoor light that can be placed even in areas where there is no protection against rain, since the Light Angel is water resistant.
Easy to use
The Light Angel is very easy to use and to install. There are no cords that need to be installed to get the Light Angel working. Moreover, the Light Angel is also great for just lighting up an area that needs extra lighting as well. Every home that has a porch would definitely need an automatic porch light to help people watch their step. The Light Angel is a perfect porch light as well.
Save Money
Having to spend on expensive security systems can burn a big hole in the pocket. The Light Angel is simply affordable and easy to use as well. More over, it serves a dual purpose. There is no need to install a separate light in areas of the home that are naïve. The Light Angel will be able to act as a regular light as well as a motion sensing light specifically for intruders.

For Immediate Release July 29, 2011Contact: Jeremy Warren, 512-463-0113
Ellis Statement on AG Opinion on Scope of Forensic Science Commission Authority
Senator Rodney Ellis (D-Houston) released the following statement regarding the Attorney General Opinion on the scope of investigatory powers of the Forensic Science Commission:
"While I believe the Attorney General took a very narrow view in responding to the questions asked, I was happy to see him recognize that the Forensic Science Commission has the authority to investigate allegations of professional negligence or misconduct from incidents occurring prior to September 1, 2005.
"A major component of the complaint involving Ernest Willis and Cameron Willingham is the negligence of the Texas Fire Marshall's Office in failing to inform prosecutors, defense lawyers, and the courts about the fact that it had used flawed arson science to convict hundreds or thousands of people. It failed to inform the Governor's Office and the Board of Pardons and Parole as well, and as a result innocent people could be incarcerated today or may have been executed.
"Nothing in this Attorney General's opinion prevents the Texas Forensic Science Commission from completing its report and ruling that the Fire Marshall was negligent when it failed in its "duty to correct" the flawed arson science that was used in numerous arson cases. They had that "duty to correct" prior to 2005, when the Forensic Science Commission legislation took effect, and after 2005, and they have never done so. They should inform the criminal justice system of their mistakes quickly, and I would encourage the Forensic Science Commission to make such a recommendation to ensure justice is served in Texas."

Art Glass Show features 95-year-old Brooklyn artist
Brilliant samples of colorful fused glass art sparkled in the windows of Camamu Studio and Showroom during a February 9-11 art show. Longtime Brooklyn artist Frank Springer's latest works were featured at this, his first public art event in the new showroom at 2021 S.E. Clinton Street.
Scores of friends and art lovers gathered to admire the work of this gracious and talented senior at a Friday reception and wine-tasting event, followed by a weekend art exhibition.
Springer, 95, is retired from the Portland Police Bureau. He has experimented in various art media for 35 years, moving from agates and polished rock sculptures through a stained glass window period, and settling, eight years ago, on fused colored glass art forms.
'It's a lot of fun, not too expensive to get into, and you can design whatever your imagination can think up,' says this cheerful gentleman.
Currently, Frank creates a variety of dishes, vases, bowls, and smaller art pieces. 'I took classes at Cline glass Co., and now have my own kiln for fusing and slumping glass,' he says. 'I purchase materials at Cline Glass, and at the Bullseye Glass Company in Brooklyn.'
Springer first began his art hobbies with cut and polished rocks. His wife asked one day if he could create a leaded-glass-style window from the samples he'd stockpiled. After conferring with a Scappoose Artist on leading tips and techniques, Frank began to create 2- and 3-dimensional 'leaded rock' art. His unique collection of wheeled vehicles includes a jade stagecoach, rose quartz Cinderella's coach, Roman chariot, and a Conestoga wagon made of petrified wood, among other objects.
As the rock art process became too weighty, Frank moved on to stained glass projects, settling most recently on fused glass art.
Springer's friendship with Brooklyn artist Cecelia Hallinan resulted in a wonderful 64-foot-long garden mural that she painted along the fence in his back yard. Cecelia convinced him to display his latest talents in a public venue, and organized the February art show. Visitors were delighted with both the glass art and with Springer's lively stories--an extensive collection of historical Brooklyn anecdotes.
'These are such beautiful pieces; you're so inspiring,' commented one guest. Another addressed his historical reminiscences, saying, 'Frank seems to know everybody in Portland.'
Springer enjoys the creative aspects of his hobby. 'The big plates take a couple of weeks to complete,' he says. 'Most of the work is in choosing the colors and designing the patterns on cardboard. You have to plan on wasting some glass through cutting errors, but by experimenting with shape and color combinations, you can create a variety of finished pieces. The fusing process takes about 14 hours, since the kiln has to heat up first.'
This talented glass artist enjoyed meeting guests and sharing his love of color with visiting art lovers. Many striking art glass pieces were snapped up by eager buyers, pleased to have lovely art pieces created by this amiable and talented senior, Frank Springer, a lifelong Brooklyn resident.

In part one of this series, we discussed the issues of security, interoperability and vendor lock-in issues in cloud computing contracts. In this installment, we will discuss the five issues of regulatory compliance, reliability, complexity, privacy and pricing.
1. Regulatory compliance
Compliance touches on many issues, depending on the industry and requirements of the customer. Compliance is an issue that, along with security and privacy, often inhibits the adoption of cloud computing. In many cases, however, these issues can be addressed with a combination of contract provisions, careful vetting of vendors, the adoption of granular security procedures and, to some extent, insurance protections. A detailed discussion of the contract issues is beyond the scope of this article because the concerns vary substantially depending on the type of business. Companies should consult counsel that is familiar with the specific regulatory requirements of the business.
Customers need to address and understand, in the contract with the cloud provider, what happens when they must respond to legal discovery or a regulatory subpoena. Like the horizontal interoperability issue, the format for the extracted data, the length of time needed to extract the data, the vendor's ability to search and cull the data and the cost of extraction are all important issues.
2. Reliability
The service level agreement (SLA) should cover reliability. Availability, bandwidth and vertical interoperability should be addressed with as much specificity as necessary. The remedies, as explained in our last column, should, if possible, to incentivize the vendor to comply with the reliability requirements.
Availability numbers can be deceiving. A guarantee of 99 percent availability actually means that the service could be out for an entire day every 100 days. Many availability provisions do not address throughput or bandwidth. The service could be up, but unacceptably slow, and still be considered "available" under the contract. Customers should also understand that there may be exceptions in the contract that do not count towards the availability or related guarantees, such as the service being down for maintenance as the result of events outside of the vendor's control. This is not to say that cloud vendors should be expected to guarantee 100 percent availability or ideal throughput all of the time, but only that both parties should understand and properly document their expectations.
3. Complexity
Complexity is a subset of interoperability and intersects with other issues such as regulatory compliance. It is often addressed through careful planning and in a meaningful and granular implementation and testing process. Like enterprise resource planning projects, cloud computing projects require a detailed understanding of the customer's workflows and the scope of work. Customers should beware of vendors promising that "we can do that" if the vendor does not take the time to understand the client's business needs. All too often, the sales promises turn into vague scope-of-work requirements in the SLA and problems during the testing and implementation phases. On the vendor's side, the customer's failure to commit the resources necessary to implement the project may also create problems. Spending time on all of these issues at the beginning of the relationship and incorporating the understandings into the contract gives the project a better chance at success.
4. Privacy
Privacy in the context of cloud computing contracts, apart from security issues, is primarily related to two types of data: personally identifiable information such as financial information (primarily names and addresses combined with social security numbers, credit card numbers or other bank account information) and personal medical information. If this type of data is relevant, the contract should cover the steps taken to protect the information, encryption, access by system administrators, procedures to report breaches and allocation of the risk of loss between parties in the event of a privacy breach. Insurance coverage may also be an issue. Note that the customer often cannot successfully transfer responsibility for privacy breaches to the vendor and will have to settle for indemnification or similar provisions.
The use of cloud services also creates issues under international privacy laws. Data centers may be located in many countries and may result in the inadvertent application of foreign privacy laws or run afoul of trade or export restrictions.
5. Pricing
Pricing is usually straightforward. (The vendor lock-in section of our previous column addressed price escalation). Most pricing issues are the same as those of other IT contracts.

Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum told the LA Times that former three-division world champion Miguel Cotto likely is headed toward a clash with WBC middleweight champion Sergio Martinez on June 7 in New York City on the weekend of the annual Puerto Rican Day Parade. "I'm optimistic that fight is going to happen. It isn't done yet, but there's some magic in Miguel fighting in the New York area that weekend," Arum told The Times. Cotto has passed on a proposed March fight with Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas. The WBC has mandated that Martinez defend against Marco Antonio Rubio next, but with Martinez out of action since April with injuries, Rubio may fight for an interim belt instead.

With the 2012 US Open just a little more than three weeks away, it's time to start getting serious about picking the contenders.
The Olympic Club in San Francisco will play host to the 112th playing of golf's toughest test, and the field is naturally an impressive one.
Sure, there's the world's top-ranked player and defending champion Rory McIlroy. His play at a couple events this year has been suspect—especially at the Masters Tournament last month where he finished T40—but for the most part, he's been playing very well.
Of course, there's Tiger Woods. I picked Tiger to win his 15th major championship this year, but your guess is as good as mine when it comes to which Tiger Woods we'll see at the US Open. The Tiger of old reappeared in winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational by five strokes in March, but like McIlroy, he finished T40 at the Masters and has been inconsistent this season.
I'm also guessing players like Phil Mickelson, Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar will have something to say about the outcome of this championship.
But what about those dark horse candidates who won't bring the same flair of the aforementioned golfers, but who could play surprisingly well?
The PGA Tour made a stop at the HP Byron Nelson Championship this past week and several players notched standout performances that got my attention heading into this year's second major.
Here are five Byron Nelson standouts who just might be ready to shock the world at the Olympic Club.

element14 gets into the fabric of technology with its latest challenge
Engineers to create wearable technology with new Adafruit FLORA kit
As one of the hottest topics in global technology and with the first products starting to appear on the market, element14 is challenging engineers and developers to design and develop their own piece of wearable technology. The global competition will focus entirely on technology integrated within clothing and wearable accessories, and aims to encourage a deeper level of integration than those demonstrated by first-generation wearables such as the Pebble watch and Google Glass.
Market reports suggest well spend between $6bn and $50bn* on wearable technology within five years and it has fast become one of the biggest topics in global technology. Clothing that can recognise and relay the users location, environment or status will allow all kinds of new industrial applications or personal well-being solutions.
element14 has selected the Adafruits FLORA kit to provide the computing platform for the challenge. The FLORA allows designers to create products that are far more integrated and less expensive and opens up wearable technology to a wider group of users where potential designs could include a tracking device for the elderly or vulnerable, a cycling jacket with built in visibility sensing lights or gloves that operate as hand-worn data terminals. This challenge follows on from element14s successful wireless power and energy harvesting challenges, which saw competitors working on projects ranging from monitoring beer brewing to a carbon monoxide detector that never needs batteries.
"Wearable technology is incredibly popular at the moment, from Google Glass to the successful Pebble watch on Kick Starter," said Dianne Kibbey, Global Head of Community, element14. "Yet we're still waiting for a product that brings wearable technology together with clothing and that's what makes this competition and the Adafruit kit stand out. In this challenge we're calling on our talented community to create something new in wearable technology that will make a difference to the every day lives of the user. From tracking the vulnerable or elderly to finding a lost handbag in a nightclub, wearable technology is only just getting started and has the potential to do so much and this is why we're all really looking forward to seeing the submissions in this competition."
The FLORA is the size of a mans watch face and designed to be literally sewn into an item of clothing or fabric accessory using a special steel wire to run the circuitry within the seams. It is programmed via a built in USB and supports USB HID (human interface device) so it can act like a mouse, keyboard or to attach directly to mobile phones to connect to other users or remote data. The FLORA allows easy control and power of a large quantity of addressable RGB LEDs so all types of displays, effects or indication are possible to provide decoration and functional indication. It is also designed to be robust and as accessible as possible for beginners. The fabric friendly board which weights just 4.4g, has no bare headers which could limit location or damage fabric.
Becky Stern, Director of Wearable Electronics at Adafruit, said: "We're so excited to see what fun wearable electronics projects the participants make for the challenge, and Adafruit is delighted to work with element14 and its Arduino community to bring us all closer."
Successful entrants from across the element14 community will be given the chance to build and demonstrate a piece of their own wearable technology which should have a useful impact on everyday lives. element14 is calling for engineers and makers to submit their basic ideas here, from which five will be chosen and given a free FLORA kit to develop their project fully with support from the element14 community and other Arduino developers. The ultimate winner, to be announced in September, will be judged by a panel from Adafruit and the Community on the potential of the prototype to be practical to the point where it can be developed into genuine and mainstream products. The quality of supporting content produced during the course of the competition, including blogs, videos and designs will also be considered in the final judging process.
The Adafruit FLORA kits can be purchased in the US from Newark.com and in Europe from Farnell.com. Customers who purchase the kits are also invited to enter the project. To find out more, or submit an idea, head over to the dedicated page on the element14 Community at www.element14.com/wearables.
*market reports from IMS conservatively set the wearable market at $6bn by 2016 and Credit Suisse predicts the mega trend could be worth $50bn in five years.

Fundraiser Highlights Youth Homelessness
Sam P.K. Collins | 3/26/2014, 3 p.m.
Hundreds of millennials recently slept under the stars and raised thousands of dollars in an effort to bring attention to youth homelessness in the District.
The event, touted as the Young Professional Sleep Out attracted more than 100 people that work in various career fields. Volunteers known as sleepers listened to the stories of those who have experienced homelessness and later got some shut eye in the parking lot of Covenant House Washington (CHW) in Southeast. The gathering at the community center on March 21 counted among six sleep outs that took place throughout the United States and Canada.
"We want the community, country, and world to understand the plight of young people and ensure that they are not forgotten," said Madye Henson, 56, president and CEO of CHW since December 2013. "What makes this service opportunity unique is that it's hands on. Our young people gain something of value from those who came to serve," said Henson, a Northwest resident.
Guests at CHW listened as spoken word artists, singers, and instrumentalists performed during the Mellon Street Cafe, an artist showcase named after the location of the CHW Crisis Center, a 44-bed residence for homeless youth, also located in Southeast. Jonelle Britt, a resident of the crisis center since January, and Nia Bermudez, community liaison at CHW, performed Beyoncé's "Pretty Hurts."
Britt said CHW provided the stable environment she needed to pursue her education. The Southeast resident wants to attend college after she completes her CHW-sponsored GED program.
"The staff at the crisis center understands me," said Britt, 20. "I can go to anyone there for help. I want the people in the audience to know that if they ever hit that low point in their life, they should not give up. I want to live comfortably one day and I will go to college either this fall or next spring to make it happen."
Later in the evening, sleepers talked with youth from CHW and listened to stories of arguments with family members, financial troubles, and stints on the streets. Nia Benjamin, a management analyst in the federal government, attended the event with her friend. She said that she enjoyed hearing the residents' stories of resilience and triumph.
"Sometimes you need to hear these touching stories," said Benjamin, 26, who lives in Bowie, Md. "It helps to get this reality check. Everyone needs to give back in some form, especially African Americans. We don't give back very often. I would like to see a lot more action."
Hundreds of D.C.'s young people use CHW's year-round programs and services that include transitional living apartments, workforce development training, academic classes, and child care for the infants of young parents. The Young Professional Sleep Out, in its second year, followed a gathering of CHW board members, local business leaders and entrepreneurs last November during which they also slept in the parking lot of the community center to draw attention to a problem that's often not addressed. This year, the millennials collected more than $30,000 in donations, engaging in conversations about youth homelessness with their peers on social networks.
"We thought that this initiative would be a good fit for young professionals since it was action oriented," said Alexis Lindsay, 30, manager of special events and communications at CHW. "It was life changing. We had people who are already involved as well as those who are doing something philanthropic for the first time," said Lindsay, a Northwest resident.
Rande Atcherson, a proposal manager for a retirement planning company, passionately recited a poem about working hard and setting goals during the Mellon Street Café. He said that he looked forward to sleeping outdoors, calling it an opportunity to show his solidarity with the less fortunate.
"I really want to get involved in this movement and experience what others go through so that I can strengthen my message," said Atcherson, 33, a Capitol Heights, Md. resident. "Sometimes we focus too much on the present instead of envisioning our future. If we work toward making our dreams come to fruition instead, we will be in a much better position."

Austrian skydiver Felix Baumgartner fell to Earth from a height of 128,000 feet a few weeks ago, setting three world records. He stepped out of a capsule/balloon floating on the edge of space and fell 24.2 miles to the ground while reaching speeds faster than the speed of sound (833.9mph, Mach 1.24). For four and a half minutes, the world held its breath as a little white dot on the screen was free falling through the atmosphere. Prior to making the historic jump, Baumgartner stood and said:
"I know the whole world is watching right now and I wish the world could see what I can see. Sometimes you have to go up really high to understand how small you really are."
During the fall, Baumgartner went into a violent spin, and was thrashed around like a rag doll. Finally, he was able to gain control, and soon deployed a parachute that brought him safely to a landing.
When he was on the ground, Baumgartner dropped to his knees and raised his arms to the sky. He'd done it.
Moments later, he spoke:
I'm not really sure.
