Amos Esty
Jared Diamond, the Pulitzer prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel, is a professor of geography at UCLA who began his scientific career in physiology and then expanded into evolutionary biology and biogeography. He has set himself, he has said, "the modest task of trying to explain the broad pattern of human history, on all the continents, for the last 13,000 years." Diamond has received a lot of attention for asking some very basic questions. His latest book, Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, explores the reasons that some societies fall apart, whereas others survive for centuries or even millennia. (Read an excerpt from the prologue.) It also assesses the dangers facing our modern, global society and offers some suggestions for avoiding an environmental catastrophe of our own making.
American Scientist assistant editor Amos Esty spoke with Diamond about the causes of collapse in societies such as those of traditional Easter Islanders and of the Norse who colonized Greenland in 984 A.D.—and about the possibility that we will share a similarly unpleasant fate.
What led you to this topic, the collapse of societies?
It's simple. It was the most fascinating as well as the most important subject I could think of, and one that I'd been interested in for decades, just as many people develop a romantic interest in sites of collapsed societies, like the Maya cities overgrown by jungle or the Anasazi skyscrapers in the U.S. desert. So there was this romantic mystery that drew me to it. There was also the puzzle of why some societies collapse and other societies have gone on in the past for thousands of years without collapsing. Then, finally, there was the importance: what we can learn today in facing problems, many of which are essentially the same as the problems that undid past societies. Maybe we don't have to repeat their mistakes, maybe we can learn. So I did it because I thought it was so fascinating and also so important.
You write in the introduction that when you set out on this project, you thought it would be more narrowly about just environmental damage. Did something change over the course of your research to broaden the scope of the book?
Yes, something changed. Namely, I learned that there is no case of a pure environmental collapse. Easter Island comes closest, but you still have to ask, Why did the Easter Islanders do these foolish things, like cutting down the trees? So there's still the human element. But in virtually all cases other than Easter Island, there's not only human environmental impact, but in many cases there's climate change, and usually there are issues of enemies who try to walk in on a society when the society gets weakened for any reason. There are also issues of friends or trading partners who may be getting weak and collapsing themselves, so that even if you're managing your own resources okay, you may be done in by your neighbors' problems. And then there's the whole human element of how people either respond or fail to respond to these problems. So, in short, the framework got complicated as I learned, and I realized that life is more complicated than my initial naive fantasy.
In the book you say that the case of Easter Island, more than any of the others, "haunts" your readers and students. Why is that?
Because the metaphor is just so obvious. Easter Island is the most isolated inhabitable scrap of land in the world. It's an island in the Pacific about 2,300 miles off the coast of Chile and 1,300 miles from the nearest Polynesian island. So when Easter Island got in trouble, there was no place to which they could flee, and there was nobody to whom they could turn for help. People just see the metaphor: Easter Island isolated in the Pacific Ocean is like planet Earth isolated in space. If we get in trouble, we're not going to be able to run off to another planet, and there aren't really any green extraterrestrials out there whom we can ask for help.
To jump to another of your case studies—you begin by talking about Montana's Bitterroot Valley. Why did you choose to start there, and how would you say Montana relates to these other societies that you discuss?
It does seem paradoxical, because we think of Montana as the most beautiful, pristine state in the lower 48, and that's really true. And it's got among the lowest population density. So you would think that Montana is the last place you would see in a book on societies with environmental problems. Nevertheless, I began the book in Montana. In my first draft of the book, the first chapter was the one that is now chapter 2, on Easter Island. But then I realized that if I began the book with Easter Island, with a remote Polynesian society, we in the United States and Europe would get the idea that this book is about these remote, exotic people who got into trouble, and that we smart moderns would never do the things today that those Polynesians did. And yet, paradoxically, when you scratch the surface, pristine Montana has all the problems of the rest of the world.
In addition, I've been going to Montana for 50 years. I know people in Montana, they're my friends, and I could put faces on the different attitudes that people have about coping with their problems, whereas with Easter Island, I don't know that name of this chief, or that peasant, or that fisherman. So in Montana you can put human faces on the problems and you can show that this isn't just a matter of exotic people but of normal Americans. And you can show that it can happen not just in deserts like the Anasazi of the Southwest, but in what look like robust areas.
You describe Montana as a "microcosm of the environmental problems plaguing the rest of the United States." How so?
One big, familiar problem in Montana is mining that produces toxic waste. The economy of Montana was founded in part on copper mines, and the arsenic and cadmium and copper and acid that's coming out of those mines will come out forever, and it has already cost Montanans $2 billion of tax money. So that's one problem. And many other states besides Montana have mine problems and problems of toxic waste, including the Hudson River, Love Canal and the Chesapeake Bay.
Montana also has its famous problems of forest management and forest fires and forest policy. Those forest fire problems, which result in considerable measure from a century of logging—those forest fire problems are common in much of the American West. In addition, Montana has problems of climate change, because agriculture in much of Montana depends on irrigation, and irrigation makes use of the snowcaps on the mountains, and the snowcaps are melting as the climate gets warmer due to global warming. Montana also has soil problems—salinization, erosion in some places—and, while it may seem outrageous for me sitting here in Los Angeles to complain about air quality in any other American city, the fact is that in Missoula (the city that we fly in and out of in southwestern Montana to get to our vacation home)—the air quality for much of the year is as bad as that of Los Angeles. So those are just some examples of the problems that Montana shares with the rest of the United States and the rest of the world.
One of the case studies that I found most fascinating was that of the Norse settlements in Greenland, which lasted for about 450 years but did eventually collapse. You contrast Norse society there with the nearby Inuit society, which was able to survive. What was most interesting was this idea that the Norse refused to give up some of what you call their "core values." Why did they make the choices that they did? You point out that they starved to death even as the waters around them were filled with fish. Is there a way to explain that kind of decision making?
I find that fascinating too, both fascinating and gut-wrenching—the idea of people starving to death in the midst of abundant food, against which they may have taboos. But the Norse also illustrate that collapse, even in a difficult environment like Greenland, isn't inevitable because another people, the Inuit, or Eskimo, survived while the Norse were dying, and the Norse were refusing to learn from the Inuit. As you say, part of what grabbed you, and part of what grabbed me, about the Norse is the tragedy that the values that had served them so well for centuries, that had enabled them to survive in isolation as this European outpost, a week's dangerous ship journey from Europe, these same values of group cohesion and identity and pride in their European identity—it's those same values that ultimately did them in. But it also reverberates because in the United States, the values that have worked well for us Americans for centuries, namely our isolationism, our sense that we were protected from the rest of the world, and our sense that we were fortunate to live in a land of plenty, of abundant resources—these things are no longer true. And it's agonizing to have to reappraise one's core values that become outdated.
You write that "Norse decision-making was no more suicidal than is ours today." First, by "ours" are you speaking globally, or do you mean, more specifically, the United States? Also, do we have core values, like the possible taboo against fish held by the Norse, that keep us from living in a more sustainable way?
I would say "yes" to both of your questions. When I say "us," it's we Americans, and partly it's we around the world. Are there things that we're doing today? It seems to us just crazy that the Norse wouldn't eat fish, even when they were starving. Then you ask yourself, suppose the United States fails to solve all of the familiar problems that are around us now—problems of energy and oil, problems of water, problems of soil erosion. What do you think people will say, if there are people 80 years from now, when they look back at the United States, consuming twice as much oil per capita as Germany? Germany has a high standard of living like ours, and they do it with half our oil consumption. Isn't it crazy that we waste all this oil? Or isn't it crazy that we in Los Angeles, in a virtual desert area with water problems—that we have golf courses and water our gardens, and waste our water as if we were not dependent on the Arizona River or the Colorado River, over which we are fighting with Arizona, or the Sierra snowpack, over which we are fighting with northern California? So there are things that we Americans are doing that we take for granted now but that I think in 80 years are going to look insane.
Another recurring theme in your book is the tension between First World countries and Third World countries that aspire to First World standards of living. In your chapter on China, you write that "the world cannot sustain China and other Third World countries and current First World countries all operating at First World levels." Yet it seems understandable that people living in the Third World would seek to raise their standard of living, and it also seems unlikely, as you acknowledge in your book, that those in the First World would willingly lower their standard of living. Is there a resolution for this conflict? Is it going to get much worse before it gets better?
It probably will get worse before it gets better, just because there's a lot of momentum to what's going on now. Just to put numbers on it, oil consumption in the United States is about, per capita, 10 times that of China. China wants to catch up to First World standards. So suppose China consumes oil at the same per-capita rate that the United States does. That increases world consumption of oil by 106 percent. We're already concerned about running out of relatively cheap, relatively clean oil within a few decades, so we're going to run out in 15 years instead of 30 years if China achieves our standards.
As for whether the First World can carry on with First World living standards, at first it seems, by definition, no, we've got to give up something. But it turns out there are areas in which we can preserve our standards and just manage our resources efficiently. For example, we could extract and consume the same amount of wood and paper around the world that we are at present with well-managed forests that were just a fraction of the world's current forest estates. But at present we're drawing our timber from lots of forests, many of which are not sustainably managed, and most of which are badly managed. The point is that we could continue operating with the same wood and paper consumption if we just managed our forests better. And the same is true for fish. We could extract as much fish or even more fish from the oceans and go on indefinitely if we managed our fisheries well and sustainably. But in fact most fisheries around the world are managed badly and unsustainably. And so one after another they've collapsed, like the Grand Banks cod fishery or the southern California abalone fishery that collapsed in my lifetime or the northern California sardine fishery that collapsed before I moved to California.
You mention some success stories, such as the long-term success of Iceland and the reforestation of Japan and Germany. Did you find certain traits that these success stories had in common that might show how societies can ensure their long-term sustainability?
Yes, there's a mixture of traits that lie behind these success stories. The success stories tend to be countries that have easier problems to deal with than other countries. It helps if you're in a robust environment like Japan or Germany, which are high-rainfall environments with heavy soil. But on the other hand, Iceland is in a very fragile environment and had a rough time, but it is nevertheless a success story that is now something like the seventh-richest country in the world. On average, it helps if you have easier problems.
The other things are the social factors—what people do. It helps if you can minimize insulation of the elite, those in power, from the rest of society. If the political leaders can wall themselves off from the rest of society— for example, here in southern California, if you live in a gated community and drink bottled water, and you've got your private security patrols, and you send your kids to private schools, and you've got your private pension and your private medical insurance, then of course you don't have a personal investment in Medicare, Social Security, public schools, the police force and the public water supply—that's a blueprint for trouble. Conflicts of interest are another blueprint for trouble, where a small fraction of society can enrich itself by doing things that are bad for the rest of society—like the Enron syndrome, or what mining companies have done, enriching themselves by simply dumping waste into a river. It's cheaper to do that, for them, but it's billions of dollars more expensive for everybody else. Those are some of the ways to achieve success: Minimize conflicts of interest and minimize the insulation of the elite.
One of the major goals of the book, it seems, is to convince people that there really is a danger of potential collapse, but it seems to be a difficult message to get across. You wrote an editorial in the New York Times summarizing some of the major themes of your book, and there was quickly a letter to the editor from a professor of economics who said, "Jared Diamond is too pessimistic about America's future. We trade on an unprecedentedly large global scale. . . . The population growth that so worries Mr. Diamond can be a blessing. When free of oppressive governments and customs, humans are the ultimate resource. We not only consume; we also create." How do you respond to these arguments that your view is overly pessimistic? That as humans we have the ability to pull ourselves out of danger?
I would say to that gentleman to think seriously about the world into which you are launching your children and grandchildren, if you have children and grandchildren. In particular, for example, let's talk about trading on a large global scale. Yes, that has advantages, in that if we run short of a resource, we can get that resource from somewhere else. But that also has big risks. It means that we are exposed not only to our own problems but to other people's problems. The Gulf oil crisis of 1973-1974 showed how the U.S. economy is hostage to what's going on in remote countries that are sources of our oil. Often people, particularly economists and people in the business world, think of globalization as good. They think of it as one way we in the United States are sending them out there in the Third World our good things, like our bottles of Coca-Cola and our Internet. But they forget that globalization means that we are dependent, we are hostage to lots of other countries and also that those other countries can send us their bad things, like their terrorists and their emergent diseases and their illegal immigrants who are moving into the United States and Europe and the Dominican Republic and Panama in numbers that can't be held out.
Fundamentally, then, are you really talking about creating a new way of looking at the world, or just about making simple modifications to our current way of life?
I'm thinking of simple modifications. Many people already understand these issues of environment and resources. The environmental movement really just got started around 1953, so it's a young movement. Nevertheless, more and more people are appreciating the importance of these issues. And those Americans who take them seriously are nearly half of Americans. In the last election they were—what?— 48 percent of Americans. Then, if you look around the world, the United States is the last holdout to the Kyoto Protocol. So most of the rest of the world already accepts the importance of global warming and climate change. In short, we don't need drastic change, we just need 52 percent rather than 48 percent of the vote in the next election.
During the course of your research, was there anything you found that surprised you?
Lots of things. I'd say the two biggest things that surprised me were this issue of why people, why groups make mistakes, why they don't see the obvious problems around them. And that turns out to be a complicated but fascinating subject. And the other big surprise is what goes on in the business world, because eight years ago I, like many people, had naively thought of big businesses as usually making messes and being evil and usually being concerned only with the bottom line and being an unstoppable force. But having been engaged with oil companies and mining companies and logging companies in recent years, I've seen that, yes, some of those companies were even worse than most of us believe, but some of them are far better and do a much more effective job of taking care of their environment than even the National Park Service does—not out of charity, but because they've discovered that it's cheaper for them to take care of the environment and thereby minimize the risks of a $4 billion Exxon Valdez or Santa Barbara oil-spill blowout.
One final question: After having done all this work and written this book, are you more or less optimistic about the way we're headed today?
I remain cautiously optimistic. When my wife and I decided to have children 17 years ago, we decided that the world was not hopeless, and I would still say that things are not hopeless. We've got problems, but if we address ourselves to the problems, we have a chance to solve them, and that's why I wrote the book.

If there's one thing that you can rely on Microsoft for, it's the timely updates to its most essential software products. Last year we saw the release of its groundbreaking, touch-enabled Windows 8 operating system, and now today consumers can finally get their hands on an up-to-date version of the Office productivity platform.
The Office 365 suite packs all the old staples – Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook – and all of these have been tinkered with the new touchscreen interface in mind. Most of the new features are pretty superficial, but the really big change is in the way that Office is now being sold and updated, with Microsoft opting for the subscription route just like we do with popular music download or file sharing services.
For the what seems like a reasonable price of $99.99 a year, users can download and use Office with all the aforementioned programs, plus OneNote, Access and Publisher, 60 minutes of free Skype calls and 20GB of SkyDrive storage, on up to five devices – including PCs, Macs and tablet/PC hybrids like the Surface Pro. This price is discounted to $79.99 for both students and those that buy a Windows 8 PC at the same time as they buy Office 365, while an alternative subscription lets users 'pay-as-they-go' at $9.99 a month for full access to the new suite.
Next month, Microsoft said that it'll be releasing the Office 365 Small Business Premium version of the software, which costs $149.99 a year with additional features like a 25GB Outlook mailbox, the ability to set up a public website with free hosting, and also host online meetings.
Switching to a subscription model is clearly a smart move that will benefit both Microsoft and consumers. As SiliconANGLE Contributing Editor John Casaretto explained when the model was first announced, subscriptions will give Microsoft a consistent revenue stream, whilst struggling businesses will no longer have to worry about the huge upfront costs of getting Office software installed in their IT systems.
The pricing is a clear indication that Microsoft is hoping to convince consumers that Office is the most cost-effective productivity suite around. As part of this effort, users will also be able to download upgrades for free when they become available. For heavy Office users, and especially those who need the software on more than one device, the subscription plan would seem to make a lot more sense than the old-style standalone licenses.
Microsoft Bets Big on the Cloud
Probably the biggest difference from the home user's point of view will be the way in which Office is integrated with SkyDrive. Microsoft has included support so that users can directly save and open documents within SkyDrive, making it easier than ever to edit and share documents while switching between different devices. This also applies to mobile devices, where there are several OneNote clients available for Windows Phone, Android and iOS. With Windows Phone, users will also be able to view and edit Word, PowerPoint and Excel files. It's not clear what Microsoft plans to do with the full version of Office Mobile on iOS and Android, but it's likely that these will somehow tie into its subscription plan as well.
Clearly, Microsoft is hoping to convince consumers that the future lies with subscriptions and the cloud. Even so, the changes to Office are far less apparent than when one compares Windows 7 to Windows 8. Office 365 has had a facelift, but functionality-wise it users will find it's still very familiar, something that will perhaps win over those skeptics who have been less than impressed with the new operating system.
Undoubtedly, Microsoft has invested a lot in the new Office, but then it needed to. With Google pushing it hard for a slice of the enterprise action, Microsoft's move to embrace a future in the cloud is a timely one and also an important step on its "fundamental shift" towards becoming a devices and services company.

3 of 5 swarms after 2 weeks have gone queenless, & splits (6) made w/capped cell cups lookin pretty bleak, 1 large extraction no Qn no Qn cells, not to mention I released 3 virgins into 3/ 5 frame nucs & no eggs or brood or sign of Qns. I am thinking that maybe 8 nucs I have reserved may go to requeening/ combining some of these queenless.
I put Qn into ML gell grid for 24 hrs, when I went to release her I saw no eggs(not saying there wasn't any, just can't see that well). I left cell grid in thinking maybe they need to clean/aromatize it longer. I would like to get these colonies ramped up for the summer & running into challenges. Going from 2, to 6 now 20+ has me thoroughly but excitedly CONFUSED.
Suggestions please.

The truth is out there, but when it comes to the search for other planets beyond our Solar System the truth has turned out to be far stranger than science fiction.
Scientists looking for habitable "exoplanets" are astounded by the diversity of the weird worlds orbiting distant stars - some shining like diamonds, others as black as coal.
"We are finding an absolutely enormous range of planet types. It has come as quite a surprise," said William Borucki of Nasa's Ames Research Centre in Moffat Field, California, the principal investigator on the Kepler Mission to find habitable planets beyond our Solar System.
Among them is one that resembles Tatooine, the home of Star Wars hero Luke Skywalker. Kepler-16b has two suns but is not thought to be habitable.
The Kepler space telescope, launched four years ago, has scoured the sky for the faint twinkles of starlight caused as a distant planet passes across the face of its star.
Kepler has so far identified 2740 possible exoplanets, with confirmed planet discoveries numbering 114 to date.
Although there are about 350 exoplanets the size of Earth, none so far has been found in the "habitable zone", otherwise known as the Goldilocks distance from a star, where it is not too hot, nor too cold for liquid water, and hence life, to exist.
The telescope has revealed a remarkably range of planets - far more than theoreticians had predicted at the start of the mission, Dr Borucki said.
While some planets are as dense as iron, with oceans of molten metal, others appear to be feather-light heavenly bodies composed of gaseous or rarefied material, he said.

Report: Apple's iOS 7 to Have a "Flat" UI Design
Tiffany Kaiser
April 30, 2013 1:39 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Jony Ive is the man behind the OS overhaul
Apple has reportedly made some pretty big changes to
iOS 7
, including a "flatter" look pioneered by Jony Ive,
Apple's head of Industrial Design and Human Interface
In the past, software and hardware design
never really crossed paths
under Apple's roof. In fact, a report in March of this year pointed out that Apple's software design team for iOS typically sat in the dark on what the industrial design team was doing, but the two have started collaborating more as of late -- allowing software designers to get an idea of what devices their iOS projects will run on, and also give industrial designers a say in what the software will look like on their hardware.
This change (under Apple CEO Tim Cook) is showing its face with the iPhone/iPad's upcoming mobile operating system, iOS 7.
9 to 5 Mac
reports that Ive has had a huge role in designing iOS 7, and that the new look may shock customers who are used to past versions of iOS.
IOS 7 is expected to have a "flat" look, closely related to the look of Microsoft 8's live tiles. This is quite a break from the user interface designed under former CEO Steve Jobs, which follows a more glossy and life life look. The new OS loses all that shine and
currently lavished on users.
Apple's Jony Ive
While the design is flatter, the ease-of-use remains the same. There will be no learning curve for users, as the idea was to keep things simple (as usual).
The look won't be the only change to iOS in the upcoming version. There will also be an all-new icon set for Apple's native apps, and tool bars, tab bars and other interface features will get a fresh design.
Apple has also been considering adding more bundled information and options panels within the OS, like Notification Center. This would allow users to quickly glance at many notifications across their system at once. It hasn't been confirmed if we'll see this in iOS 7, though.
The changes aren't expected to please all users, specifically those who are used to the lifelike design with heavy textures. However, Cook has placed all confidence in Ive's ability to create across hardware and software.
"Jony, who I think has the best taste of anyone in the world and the best design skills, now has responsibility for the human interface," said Cook in a
Bloomberg BusinessWeek
interview this year. "I mean, look at our products. The face of this is the software, right? And the face of this iPad is the software. So it's saying, Jony has done a remarkable job leading our hardware design, so let's also have Jony responsible for the software and the look and feel of the software, not the underlying architecture and so forth, but the look and feel."
Ive stepped in last year when former vice president of iOS software
Scott Forstall got the boot
due to the Apple Maps debacle.
The changes to iOS 7 are not expected to give all developers too much trouble in the future, but apps built for iOS 6 and previous could be considered outdated since they're made to match old versions of iOS.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Apple was pulling engineers from OS X 10.9 to finish iOS 7. At that time, it was predicted "Ive's work is apparently making many people really happy, but will also apparently make rich-texture-loving designers sad."
Apple's mobile operating system is likely going through a huge overhaul because it's in the midst of creating entirely new gadgets, such as
the upcoming smart watch
. Reports have said that the new watch's OS will be built from the ground up rather than starting with the iPod nano's touch operating system (which has a screen about the size of a watch). Also, the iPhone/iPad's OS must be reconstructed to work with the new devices.
The watch is due out
as early as this year
9 to 5 Mac
"If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion." -- Scientology founder L. Ron. Hubbard

This historic family home with its turret, sea views from each level and all-round sunshine has done something to actress Theresa Healey that none of her previous homes ever managed to do.
It has quelled a restlessness in her that had her moving house many times during her adult life. Her newfound tranquillity here also had a good deal to do with her becoming a mum when her son Zac (11) was born, shortly after her move to the home 12 years ago.
Theresa and her husband, film and television producer Steven O'Meagher, bought this place with family life in mind.
Before this home came into their lives, Theresa had bought and sold five houses, as much for her love of change as for her penchant for the investment strategies involved.
Growing up in a family constantly on the move had a lot to do with that, too. "Thirteen schools and three tertiary institutions . . . we moved around a lot," she explains of her father's job turning around poorly performing department stores around the country.
"We always knew when new carpet went down that we were going. What I did love about it was that it was Mum and I who got to choose and buy the houses. By the time Zac was born, though, I knew I didn't want to do that to my children. I didn't want them to be the 'new kid' at school every year."
Theresa and Steven rented this home for five years from a couple in the same industry, before they bought it seven years ago. "It has history and it has creative history," says Theresa of the house that was built in 1895. It is known as the former harbour master's house and also the home of James Parr, who was the Mayor of Auckland from 1911 to 1915.
Its various monikers have included "the lookout" and "the pepper pot". For a day or so during renovations in the 1980s it was officially a bomb site. The then-owner, who introduced himself to Theresa quite recently, told her how he arrived home to find police, fire and bomb disposal authorities dealing with an unexploded World War II bomb builders had uncovered beneath the turret's foundations.
That storybook turret is now 8-year-old Xavier's room with all the citywide views you'd expect from a corner first-floor vantage point. "We've got views from every level," says Theresa. "We've had kids' parties on the veranda. The house is so practical and so warm and light because every single room gets the sun. We've loved it here. It is urban rather than suburban and you feel as if you are part of everything that happens here."
All the significant house renovations had been done by previous owners, including those by award-winning architect Felicity Wallace who designed the period veranda extension that opens the dining room to the outdoors. She redesigned the kitchen with its funky funnelshaped ceiling that has a sandblasted glass pane at the apex with the words "Sure to Rise".
Across the hallway in the laundry, she repeated the kitchen's timeless combination of timber cabinetry and a stainless steel bench. Nearby, she has given the tiled bathroom, with its pedestal basin and clawfoot bath, a fresh style-appropriate look.
Original features include timber floors, coloured and stained glass windows, the hall archway and the sweeping staircase.
Sadly, the O'Meagher family are closing the door on this part of their life reluctantly in favour of a move to a home with more land for their boys.
And that means Theresa will need to find a new spot for her day bed on which she stretches out to learn her lines for her next production.

Man celebrates 20 years after having a heart transplant
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - Glenn Keup is surrounded by his family and friends, something he's thankful for after suffering a heart attack more than 20-years ago.
"Major heart attack in December of '92, had a bypass and right after the bypass, the back side of the heart blocked up, and there was nothing they could do on the back side of the heart," says Keup.
He tells News 5 only about 16 percent of his heart was functioning, and he needed a transplant.
"They called different transplant places like Duke and Vanderbilt, and my statistics at that time were so low for getting a transplant or even being transported there."
But luckily, Birmingham, Alabama was willing to take on the surgery.
"I got put on the list on January 4th officially and February 3rd a heart became available in the Birmingham area," Keup continues.
He says, what happened that day was a twist of fate.
"It was supposed to go to the lady down the hall from me, but she had a fever that day. So it kicked it back to me and she got a transplant two weeks later."
Glenn's friends and family say they're not only here celebrating his life, but they also want to point out the importance of donating organs.
"There's so many people out there that are on waiting lists that are really dying. Because people are not donating their organs," says Keup's friend Frank Read.
For the one's who have donated, like the 23 year old woman who's heart Keup received, he says he's forever grateful.
"I was able to see everything that I could here. I was able to raise two boys, see them go through high school. Watch my wife graduate from college and watch myself just change different careers as I got older.
My son get married and have two little grandchildren. I never though i'd see grandchildren, but I did!"

Honey there is no more Frosted Flakes! That's OK sweetheart, I just snort the cereal dust from the bottom of the box.

Reviewed By Van S (Clearwater, FL) Reviewed for a 2011 Volkswagen CC —5/15/2015 9:03 AM
These rotors are amazing. Not only do they look great, they also improved the braking performance of my car (a 2011 VW CC). Paired with Akebono Ceramic Pads, my brakes improved significantly. My car no longer has a vague brake feel and is confident in sudden braking situations. Before, I've always felt like my oem brakes (rotors and pads) were slipping whenever I brake hard... That issue is not a thing of the past, after upgrading to these rotors and ceramic brake pads. Great jobs, Baer Deleca. I'll be sure to purchase the rear rotors as soon as they become available.

Innovation in wargames is a hard thing to achieve. New ideas are rare and it's even rarer to find new development studios willing to bring these ideas to life. Nevertheless, once in a while, someone comes along with an innovative concept, a different approach.
Armored Brigade is one of these rare projects that are the best candidates to evolve an entire market.

The failed siege of Hull and the Battle of Edgehill represent the initial fights of the English Civil War.

"I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that you call a Gentleman and is nothing else" – Oliver Cromwell, 1643
The shadow of the Thirty Years War hit the British Isles in 1625, as Charles I became King of England. Accustomed to a weaker Scottish Parliament, the new King found fiercer opposition from the Parliament in London.
Now, only two decades later, open war has started with the Royalists facing the Parliamentarians, and the conflict is raging in England and Scotland.
The Country is at odds, its population forced to take a side and torn apart by religious divisions.

Audio File Problem
I have a problem with an audio file, it's a .wav. Our phone system records phone calls "for quality assurance purposes" and are reviewed (or in some cases, investigated) often.
We have a situation where we need to listen to one of these calls and we've downloaded it from the system. It's apx. 2MB in size, but when we try to play it, there is no sound. There are no error messages, and the slider moves across like it is playing the file.
We've tried converting it to mp3, but the 'process' meter goes in a negative direction and never converts the file.
Does anyone know of a good tool that can analyze this file or somehow extract audio out of it?

Nintendo Wii U
Rated E10+
This fall, Nintendo launched the hotly anticipated Wii U gaming console, the first update to 2006's Wii. (Read more about the Wii U in TFK's Gift Guide). The deluxe edition of the Wii U includes a copy of NintendoLand, which features a dozen mini-games that help you learn about the possibilities of the Wii U and the GamePad that controls it. First, you'll enter Central Tower with your Mii, an amusement-park-like space where you can chose from 12 attractions, or mini-games, including Donkey Kong's Crash Course, Metroid Blast and Animal Crossing: Sweet Day. You can play alone, as a team or competitively.
Many attractions feature familiar Nintendo characters you know and love. Your Mii becomes arrow-wielding Zelda in The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest, where you turn the GamePad to aim your arrows. In Mario Chase: The Great Getaway, use the GamePad to play as Mario and hide from the Toads in a maze. Like a true game of hide-and-go-seek, a second player can use a Wii Remote and the main TV screen to play as a Toad and chase Mario down, without being able to see what's on the GamePad screen of the person playing Mario. In Pikmin Adventure, Olimar and the Pikmin team up to survive an alien planet. As Olimar, you can summon your Pikmin (including other players) during any moment of danger. (Included with the $350 deluxe Wii U set, or $59.99 separately)
New Super Mario Bros U
Nintendo Wii U
Rated E
See Super Mario in HD for the first time in New Super Mario Bros. U, just for the Wii U. The familiar side-scrolling game brings fun new features to Mushroom Kingdom, as Mario and his friends try to rescue Princess Peach. Mario can take on a new form for gliding when he grabs a Super Acorn: Flying Squirrel Mario. Play alone with the GamePad, and the game will be mirrored on the TV screen and GamePad screen (you can even keep playing while someone else watches TV!). You can also play with up to five players using Wii Remotes. In the multi-player cooperative mode, the player holding the GamePad creates Boost Blocks to help other players navigate tricky stages or distract enemies by tapping them on the screen. Rescuing Princess Peach has never been so much fun! ($59.99)
Rabbids Land
Nintendo Wii U
Rated E
Silly Rabbids! The Rabbids are up to new hijinks is Rabbids Land, a party game that takes advantage of the Wii U's two screens. In the game, Rabbids have taken over an amusement park and plan to invade all the attractions in competitive fun. Players move around a giant board game to determine what attractions they'll compete in to collect trophies. In one attraction, the GamePad player attempts to steal items from a gift shop, while the Wii Remote player monitors security cameras to catch the sneaky Rabbid. In another, the Wii Remote player launches fireballs by tapping to the rhythm of the music, while another player tilts the GamePad to dodge them. In another mini-game, one player blows air on the GamePad to launch penguins at a ship, while a player on the ship tries to block them with snowballs. It's all wild and wacky fun! ($49.99)

Hey babe, only just caught up with all the stories from the beginning...
Sounds amazing! What an incredible adventure and Im so jealous! (Especially of the tutle part, would have loved to do that - menu included!)
Looking forward to reading more stories so keep them coming.
A day out with the hippies
Loading Map
Valisas is a one-dirt-street town from the road to the beach..
We get down to the beach and it is really pretty, dunes, blue-green water, a whole bunch of beached whales with mate. Even on the beach when you are walking along you have mate!!!!! (pronounce Mut-ay) Granted we must have looked just as ridiculous with our overnight bags on the beach and Katya was carrying a national geographic tripod as well. National Geographic tripod�s are definitely not made from a super light titanium type metal...but of course it�s still light at this stage.
To get to Cavo Polonio you have to cross the dunes, to get to the dunes, you have to do a a river crossing that might rival the otter trail from a depth perspective and being the exceptionally tall person I am I had to cross the river with my bag on my head like a sack of mielies, in order to keep my sleeping bag and pillow dry
We then ran up the dune which was probably the highest mountain in Uruguay, as Katya said that we would have the most amazing view from the top of Cavo Polonio...the view was gorgeous...but it was of more dunes and farmland. So we made the amateur error of thinking that the beach and our end point was just over the next dune... And then the next dune and then the next dune. The beach when we finally got there was absolutely beautiful, completely empty except for being littered with dead sea lion and turtle carcasses. (kept thinking how perfect it would have been for the census). It was essentially a graveyard for the ocean. With each footstep in the scorching heat, the light bags we are carrying and two bananas we have bought as snacks are starting to get heavier and heavier. Eventually Katya was like but if only we had a tent for shelter, then we could stop...oh wait, I know she says, I have watched Bear Grylls we can make a shelter...one times national geographic tripod dredged into the sand and two sarongs out from either side attached to birkenstocks for weight!!!!! And this actually worked...so if you ever need shelter in the boiling heat, make sure to carry around a national geographic tripod (one that really likes sand)!!!! So we sat down and had a little nap and a banana in the boiling heat
Cavo Polonio is a little hippie surf town that has no streets, no electricity and no cars, you have to walk there via the beach (not the dunes) or catch a 4x4 in.
Having walked all day we were starving and went out for the most amazing dinner...fish and salad...the salad had olives and artichokes ad beetroot in it! One of the most wonderful things I have ever eaten (perspective is a fabulous thing)!!! Although knowing that we were coming back to more pasta and rice this may not hae been our smartest move! But it was still so good!! The place that we stayed in had a bucket shower (apparently it is possible to have a hot one if they stoke the fire and make a donkey!!!!) and no real running water, but there was a bed and it was pretty clean.
The reason we went to Cabo Polonio in the first place on our day out was that Katya had promised me the most amazing stars and sea lions, she had wanted to shoot some night photos (hence trekking national geographic tripod on trek through the dunes) to her complete and utter horror, it was cloudy, cold and there were no sea lions near the lighthouse
So on our day off we walked for ages then woke up at 5am to catch the 6am 4x4 to make the 7am bus to be back in camp in time to be on lunch making duty!!! At 6am it was pitch dark and 4 x 4-ing in the dark is an interesting new experience when you are sitting on top of the roof of the truck holding on for dear life as a uruguayan cowboy drives (am sure he had mate in hand and was steering with his foot)...Katya and i were in hysterics the entire way. In fact we were holding on so tightly that the paint from the 4X4 came off in our hands. The sunrise was beautiful and we eventually made it back to camp in time to start the 6 day cycle again...
Pasta and vegetables!!!
Although I had initially planned on saving turtles for a month, after another scrumptious meal of rice with potatoes (seriously who makes rice with potatoes and nothing else????) I called it quits, and told Katya that I was done and outa there...she had the fantatsic choice to make of staying at chez-carbs for another week or bailing and heading for iguacu
We left La Coronilla at 7pm, arrived in Montevideo at 11.30pm, got off the bus...went to the station and booked tickets on the buqubus. Caught the bus from Montevideo at 2am to Colonia. You would never believe it if I told you that this bus was packed to capacity. Swap over in Colonia at 3.30am and catch the ferry at 5am for a 3 hour ferry ride. Then get to Beunos Aires, walk 8 blocks to the retiro looking like a pregnant turtle, book another bus to Iguacu at 1pm. So between 8am and 1pm we caught a bus to the city to go and see Katya�s photo exhibition, then back to the station for a 19 hour bus ride to Iguacu. Again Katya was convinced it was 16 hours and was very disappointed when lonely planet was right again!!!! 19 hours on a bus, no matter how comfy they make it sound when you buy the tickets...is not comfy!!! The aircon always works brilliantly, the toilet never has enough paper and the chairs do not go flat ie you need to take your sleeping bag on the bus and a roll of loo paper and maybe some vicks to prevent the smell permeating your lungs (thanks to my brother for these brilliant tips). So a 7am arrival in Peurto Iguacu turned into a 10am arrival but still we arrived.
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Hey babe, only just caught up with all the stories from the beginning...
Man - this looks like such a tough life Levy.
This business of walking everywhere is most exhausting. Rather find a hot boy and ask him to carry you places :-P

Excerpt: "Veteran Josh Brown seems like the heavy favorite to win the New York Giants' placekicking job.WEET (4)
Continuing with our look at the 90-man roster the New York Giants will bring to training camp we look today at Josh Brown, the placekicker the Giants signed to take the spot vacated by Lawrence Tynes.
2012 Season In Review
The 10-year veteran was out of a job at the beginning of last season, and wound up kicking in only four games for the Cincinnati Bengals. Brown showed he still has plenty left, however, making 11-of-12 field-goal attempts with a long of 52 yards. He also had six touchbacks in 23 kickoffs." Read more...
