Swann will travel back to India in time for England's first Test in Ahmedabad starting on November 15.
His absence from the final warm-up match is a further blow to the tourists who already have fitness concerns about fast bowlers Steven Finn and Stuart Broad.
Finn has a thigh injury and Broad a bruised heel, leaving them highly unlikely to play in the four-day game against Haryana starting on Thursday.
"It puts a big question mark over them, that's fairly obvious," England batting coach Graham Gooch told Sky Sports.
"With a bruised heel it is something that can be very annoying and can take time to clear up," he added.
"You've got to see how it goes each day, whether it gets better with the rest - keep checking it and see how it comes on. There's no other way of going about it really."

This is made worse by the fact you have to click on the parent page to access the drop down, therefore if you actually wanted to get onto the parent page, you can't.
I am using the PageLines theme and I have tried with custom wordpress menus much to no avail.
I am hoping someone out there knows as it is quite frustrating.

Rubio's Promoter Feels That Sergio Martinez Overreacted
By Joaquin Trejo
Reginaldo Kuchle, the promoter for Marco Antonio Rubio, believes Sergio Martinez may have overreacted to being unable to secure a fight with WBC middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Martinez vacated the WBC's Diamond title and walked away from the sanctioning body after they failed to push through an ordered fight with Chavez. The WBC, at their 49th annual convention, ordered Chavez to fight Martinez, but then allowed the Mexican champion to Rubio on February 4th. Martinez also had angry words for HBO, because the network was supporting Chavez's fight with Rubio.
Kuchle recalls how the WBC, at their 48th annual convention in 2010, ordered a final elminator between Rubio and David Lemieux. Rubio stopped Lemieux last April to gain the WBC's number one ranking at 160-pounds. Around that time period, the WBC made Martinez the Diamond champion and attempted to push him to a shot before Rubio.
"Whoever gets angry loses, everyone knows that. At the convention held by WBC in Cancun (in 2010), they agreed that Marco Antonio was going to fight in a final eliminator and he did, won the following year (April 2011). Now we see that Julio says that he is giving the opportunity to Rubio. Don't be confused, the opportunity was earned. Martinez should reconsider his position and should not get angry just like that. Sometimes it is better to be patient, because everything falls in place in due course. He does not have to fight with the broadcaster HBO, who put up a lot of money for events like this. When Rubio wins, I'm sure Martinez will get his chance," Kuchle said.

Well, the only important difference there is that the font used by linux version is bigger and uses just grey scale antialiasing as opposed to the hinted subpixel antialiasing used by windows (not perfect either) -- you are comparing apples with oranges. It seems that gecko respects system wide settings (sans size; come to think of it, why is the font size in firefox apparently measured in pixels instead of the usual typographic units [pt]?) as I have nice fonts in (almost) default rawhide installation with subpixel hinting turned on (and size toned down a bit) and it looks in firefox just the same as in the rest of the desktop (and to say, much better than the screenshots from both windows and fedora you provided, at least on my laptop).

Rescuers are expected to get out again Monday to search for a missing Rocky Mountain National Park ranger.
Jeff Christensen, of Fraser, was last seen by co-workers Friday morning at the Chapin Pass Trailhead off Old Fall River Road as he planned to start a backcountry patrol. The 31-year-old didn't contact park staff that evening and didn't arrive Saturday for his shift.
More than 50 people joined the second day of the search Sunday, including members of the Grand County search and rescue team, Rocky Mountain Rescue Group, Front Range Rescue Dogs, park staff and park volunteers.
Two helicopters assisted, one of them equipped with an infrared heat-seeking device.
Park spokeswoman Kyle Patterson says searchers are hopeful because the weather has been good and Christensen is an experienced mountaineer.

Mobile networkers have always taken business custom seriously, and the recent offering from Vodafone suits small businesses well, especially if there's a staffer or two working away from the office.
Customers don't always like to call a mobile number, even if they know you might be on the move. It costs more than calling a landline, for a start, and while it might seem normal for a plumber to have a mobile number only, it's less so for a financial adviser, say.
So One Net Express aims to circumvent the customer's hesitation by adding a landline number to your mobile. Callers dial a local number, and are charged accordingly while you are freed from sitting around the fixed line all day just to make sure you get every call.
In fact, you don't need to have a separate landline with another provider, so you have only one phone bill. You can have a new landline number or connect your existing number to the mobile. There are no call divert charges for transferring calls. The system could mean you no longer need a switchboard in the office.
Voicemails all come through to the same number, as well. Plus, there are other sophistications, so you can use One Net Express across several mobiles. The service can be set so all mobiles ring simultaneously when a call comes in, so the first person to answer takes the call. Or you can set up a Hunt Group so if someone calls you and you can't answer the phone the system automatically starts searching through an assigned list of numbers, ringing each in turn until someone answers. You can even play hold music to callers. If you must.
One Net Express can offer you multiple local numbers with different area codes so potential customers think you're even more local than you are.
It's available for single users or more and if there are more than one of you, you can share minutes and texts, and some tariffs include unlimited calls to UK landlines.
Prices for business sharers start at £22.50 excluding VAT per person and happily many of the latest smartphones, like the excellent NokiaLumia 800, pictured, are available.
4 Stars
From £10 plus VAT per month for a single user

Life Arrangements
This section concerns things that weave people's lives together. Many of them are medium or long-term aspects. Some can be short-term, but may have lasting results. These are often ways in which people express closeness with their family of choice, beyond their genetic relatives.
Letting someone drive your car. This involves trusting another person with an expensive piece of equipment that, for most folks, is vital to everyday function. There may also be insurance concerns. Usually this is reserved for family members or significant others. Occasionally, close friends may be allowed.
Sharing clothes, jewelry, other personal items. This is common between siblings or close female friends. Sometimes roommates do it too. Wearing someone else's shirt or bathrobe is typical in romantic relationships, so can suggest a similar level of intimacy even in the absence of sex.
Giving someone your password and/or asking them to post to your online account. Essentially you're trusting them to "be you" at least briefly, such as to post why you won't be online today if you are sick or your internet connection is down. A mistake here can wreck your online relationships or cost you an account. Most people reserve this level of trust for family members, lovers, or perhaps very close friends.
Sharing a bank account or other economic feature. Most often done in family, this can also involve professional partners or housemates. It requires a high level of trust with valuables, as a mistake can cause big long-term problems. But it's a good way to show reliance among family of choice or people who share a lot of activities and purchasing responsibilities.
Packing someone's bag(s) for a trip. This requires a detailed knowledge of the other person so you know the right things to put in it. Plus it involves handling someone's personal items. Getting there and finding something left out really sucks. Usually it's done by people who live together, in whatever arrangement.
Cleaning someone else's living space. This shows care and knowledge on the part of the cleaner, and trust on the part of the recipient. You have to know what NOT to throw away or move. It's typical of family members and roommates. Coworkers may clean each other's desk, office space, etc.
Living together. This is a big step, even if it's just for a little while. Housemates are in each other's pockets; it's hard to keep secrets. Family members and lovers often live together, but housemates who are family-of-choice form a category of their own. If you don't want a romantic partner, a permanent housemate is a good choice for someone to share your life with.
Raising a child together. While usually done by lovers who are the parents, this is sometimes done by other combinations of people. For instance, one parent might leave the other parent and connect (sexually or nonsexually) with a new partner. A woman might decide to have a child without involving the sire, but instead share childraising with housemates. Due to family tragedy, anyone might suddenly inherit a child from a relative. In any form, this is a long-term commitment to making a family that affects not just the adults but also the child(ren).

Scientists have simplified the steps to create highly efficient silicon solar cells by applying a new mix of materials to a standard design. The special blend of materials eliminates the need for a process known as doping that steers the device's properties by introducing foreign atoms. Doping can also degrade performance.

Price of Solar Energy in the United States Has Fallen to 5¢/kWh on Average
Solar energy pricing is at an all-time low, according to a new report released by Berkeley Lab. Driven by lower installed costs, improved project performance, and a race to build projects ahead of a reduction in a key federal incentive, utility-scale solar project developers have been negotiating power sales agreements with utilities at prices averaging just 5¢/kWh.

Soaking Up Carbon Dioxide and Turning it into Valuable Products
Berkeley Lab researchers have incorporated molecules of porphyrin CO2 catalysts into the sponge-like crystals of covalent organic frameworks (COFs) to create a molecular system that not only absorbs CO2, but also selectively reduces it to CO, a primary building block for a wide range of chemical products.
Another Milestone in Hybrid Artificial Photosynthesis
Berkeley Lab researchers using a bioinorganic hybrid approach to artificial photosynthesis have combined semiconducting nanowires with select microbes to create a system that produces renewable molecular hydrogen and uses it to synthesize carbon dioxide into methane, the primary constituent of natural gas.

Future distributed solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment levels are highly sensitive to retail electricity rate design, according to a newly released report by researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab). The study also explores the feedback effects between retail electricity rates and PV deployment, and suggests that increased solar deployment can lead to changes in PV compensation levels that either accelerate or dampen further deployment.

After the third time, and mind you, according to the bank and FDIC it is illegal to try to cash the same check more than 2 times, the bank had us close down the account and open a new one. The bank called it Bank Fraud on Toyota's part. In doing this Toyota managed to ruin our credit. Every time the check went thru it bounced every thing else.
Now all our credit cards have almost a 30% interest rate. Then Toyota repossessed the car. We told them until they sent back the check not made out to them that they kept trying to cash (and I have proof of every time they tried to cash it), we would then send a payment. Now Toyota is suing us for about $12000 the cost they lost on the vehicle. They sold a 4 year old SUV with about 50,000 miles for about $10000, blue book value was $25000. And Toyotas legal department said they only tried to cash the check 2 times, I have this in writing.
Toyota Financial is the worst place I have ever dealt with. DON'T use Toyota. And as a side note. The dealership had the vehicle almost as much as we did. Every time we brought it in for routine maintenance they found another defect that had to be repaired.

Advertising Agency: The Jupiter Drawing Room, South Africa
14 comments
Love it!
I wish I could print it in bigger size and put it on my office wall.
neither I could read the copy, but obviously I am too old now and my memory doesn't serve me right (I'm definitely not too young to know the ad) - what vintage ad are we talking about, please?
*the best skate/snow/surfing videos and pictures.
*updated daily!
AdArena: Sex Sells
lol :-D... Funny comment Albondiga.
I personally like the tonality in it though (but hey - maybe I'm just an old fart... which - I guess - also puts me in the center of the target group:-))
In my opinion, this ad both build the brand and sell the stuff.
Pretty Nice.
I agree ...
nothing special ...
well done on the pitches though ... ...
Oh!! could you please paste your copy ....here so that I can read and know whats it all about.
"No think is impossible"
Um rocketman...
If you don't know that Jupiter is an ad agency then what the F#@& are you doing in this industry?
And what are you doing on this website if you aren't interested in agencies around the world (which I assume you're not if you don't know the big international players)?
Sometimes I wonder...
rocketman, have you been hiding under a rock?
"it took me a great deal of eye bleeding to understand that the Jupiter Drawing Room is an agency..." - TJDR is one of the world's most well-respected, creative agencies.
"...and not an antique store" - your eyes must bleed quite easily then because the first word in the first line of body copy reads, "Agencies".

|"Protecting nature. Preserving life"
The Nature Conservancy is a charitable environmental organization, headquartered in Arlington, Virginia.
Its mission is to "conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends."[2] The Conservancy pursues non confrontational, pragmatic solutions to conservations challenges working with partners including indigenous communities, businesses, governments, multilateral institutions, and other non-profits.[4]
The Conservancy's work focuses on the global priorities of Lands, Water, Climate, Oceans, and Cities.[5] Founded in Arlington, Virginia, in 1951, The Nature Conservancy now impacts conservation in 69 countries, including all 50 states of the United States. The Conservancy has over one million members, and has protected more than 119,000,000 acres (48,000,000 ha) of land and thousands of miles of rivers worldwide.[4] The Nature Conservancy also operates more than 100 marine conservation projects globally.[6] The organization's assets total $6.71 billion as of 2015.[7] The Nature Conservancy is the largest environmental nonprofit by assets and by revenue in the Americas.[8]
The Nature Conservancy rates as one of the most trusted national organizations in Harris Interactive polls every year since 2005.[9][10][11][12] Forbes magazine rated The Nature Conservancy's fundraising efficiency at 88 percent in its 2005 survey of the largest U.S. charities.[13] The Conservancy received a three-star rating from Charity Navigator in 2016 (three-star in 2015)[14] The American Institute of Philanthropy gives the Conservancy a B+ rating and includes it on its list of "Top-Rated Charities".[15]
The Nature Conservancy is led by President and CEO Mark Tercek, a former managing director at Goldman Sachs. He is the author of the Washington Post and Publisher's Weekly bestselling book Nature's Fortune: How Business and Society Thrive by Investing in Nature.[16] The Nature Conservancy's Chief Scientist is Australian Hugh Possingham, who was named to this position in 2016.[17] The organization's Board of Directors draws from all segments of the community. The current board chairman is Craig McCaw, the Chairman & CEO of Eagle River Inc. Other current members include former U.S. Senator Bill Frist, chairman of the Alibaba Group Jack Ma, and Chairman and Co-founder of The Bridgespan Group Thomas Tierney.[18]

The Nature Conservancy takes a scientific approach to conservation, setting goals that describe the results it wants to achieve for biodiversity. The Nature Conservancy sets both long-term and near-term goals for conserving the abundance and geographic distribution of critical species and ecological systems. The organization's overall goal is to ensure the long-term survival of all biodiversity on Earth.[19]
The Nature Conservancy works with all sectors of society including businesses, individuals, communities, partner organizations, and government agencies to achieve its goals. The Nature Conservancy is known for working effectively and collaboratively with traditional land owners such as farmers and ranchers, with whom it partners when such a partnership provides an opportunity to advance mutual goals.[20] The Nature Conservancy is in the forefront of private conservation groups implementing prescribed fire[21] to restore and maintain healthy ecosystems and working to address the threats to biodiversity posed by non-native and invasive plants and animals.[22]
The Nature Conservancy has pioneered new land preservation techniques such as the conservation easement and debt for nature swaps. A conservation easement is a way for land owners to ensure that their land remains in its natural state while capitalizing on some of the land's potential development value. Debt for nature swaps are tools used to encourage natural area preservation in third world countries while assisting the country economically as well: in exchange for setting aside land, some of the country's foreign debt is forgiven.[23][24]
The Conservancy believes that the private sector has an important role to play in advancing its conservation mission. The organization works to help businesses make better decisions, understand the value of nature, and ultimately protect it.[25] Among the companies it works with are: 3M/3M Foundation, Alcoa Foundation, AmazonSmile, AT&T, Avon, Bank of America, Barrick Gold, BHP Billiton, Cargill, Inc., Caterpillar/Caterpillar Foundation, The Coca Cola Company, Delta Air Lines, Discovery Channel: North America, Disney The Dow Chemical Company, FEMSA, General Mills, Goldman Sachs, Harley-Davidson, IBM, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Lowe's/Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation, Microsoft, Oracle, Patagonia, PepsiCo Recycle for Nature, Swiss Re, UPS, Whole Foods Market.[26]
Featured project sites[edit]
The Nature Conservancy's expanding international conservation efforts include work in North America, Central America, and South America, Africa, the Pacific Rim, the Caribbean, and Asia.[27] Increasingly, the Conservancy focuses on developing global solutions at the intersection of nature's and people's needs. The solutions are areas where it aims to develop specific strategies and link them to its place-based work at the system scale.[28] Below are a few examples of such work:
The Nature Conservancy was instrumental in the creation in 2004 of the Great Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado. The Conservancy's efforts in China's Yunnan province, one of the most vital centers of plant diversity in the northern temperate hemisphere, serve as a model for locally based ecotourism with a global impact. The Nature Conservancy and its conservation partner, Pronatura Peninsula Yucatán, are working to halt deforestation on private lands in and around the 1.8 million acre (7,300 km²) Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, along the Guatemala–Mexico border. In November 2004, 370,000 acres (1,500 km²) of threatened tropical forest in Calakmul were permanently protected under a historic land deal between the Mexican federal and state government, Pronatura Peninsula Yucatán, four local communities and the Conservancy.[29]
The Nature Conservancy's programs in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming are working together to build partnerships and enhance the profile of the conservation needs in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem by supporting voluntary, private land conservation of important wildlife habitat. In 2007, the Nature Conservancy made a 161,000-acre (650 km2) purchase of New York forestland from Finch Paper Holdings LLC for $110 million, its largest purchase ever in that state.[28][30] In June 2008, The Nature Conservancy and The Trust for Public Land announced they reached an agreement to purchase approximately 320,000 acres (1,300 km2) of western Montana forestland from Plum Creek Timber Company (NYSE:PCL) for $510 million. The purchase, known as the Montana Legacy Project, is part of an effort to keep these forests in productive timber management and protect the area's clean water and abundant fish and wildlife habitat, while promoting continued public access to these lands for fishing, hiking, hunting and other recreational pursuits.[31][32][33] As a follow-on, in 2015 The Nature Conservancy made a $134 million transaction to purchase 165,073 acres – 257 square miles – of forests, rivers and wildlife habitat in the Cascade Mountain Range of Washington and in the Blackfoot River Valley in Montana. The Conservancy also acquired this land from Plum Creek, including 47,921 acres in the Yakima River Headwaters in Washington and 117,152 acres in the Lower Blackfoot River Watershed in Montana.[34][35]
In December 2015, The Nature Conservancy announced the finalization of the first ever debt swap in Seychelles aimed at ocean conservation. The new protected area increases the country's marine protected waters from less than 1 percent to more than 30 percent including support for the creation of the second largest Marine Protected Area in the Western Indian Ocean.[36] The debt swap deal was made possible through a partnership with the Seychelles Ministry of Finance, support of debt-holding nations including France, and grants from private organizations led by the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.[37]
Financing for this effort was organized by The Nature Conservancy's impact investing unit called NatureVest.[38][39] NatureVest was created in 2014 with founding sponsorship from JPMorgan Chase & Co. with the stated goal of sourcing and putting to work at least $1 billion of impact investment capital for measurable conservation outcomes over three years.[40][41] For their work on the Seychelles debt restructuring, The Nature Conservancy and JPMorgan Chase were given the FT/ITC Transformational Business Award for Achievement in Transformational Finance[42] The award is given by the Financial Times and the World Bank's International Finance Corporation (IFC) for ground-breaking, commercially viable solutions to development challenges.[43]
Plant a Billion Trees campaign[edit]
The Nature Conservancy's Plant a Billion Trees Campaign is an effort to restore 2,500,000 acres (10,100 km2) of land and plant one billion trees by 2025 in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil. Each donated dollar results in one planted tree in the Atlantic Forest.[44][better source needed]
Environmental benefits[edit]
The Plant a Billion Trees campaign has also been identified as a tool to help slow climate change, as the Atlantic Forest – one of the biggest tropical forests in the world – helps regulate the atmosphere and stabilize global climate. The reforestation of the Atlantic Forest has the capability to remove 10 million tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere every year. The Nature Conservancy states that this is equivalent to taking two million cars off the road. The Atlantic Forest's restoration could help to slow the process of climate change that is affecting the earth.[citation needed]
The Nature Conservancy's Plant a Billion Trees Campaign also aims to protect 10 critical watersheds in the Atlantic Forest that provide water and hydro power to more than 70 million people, create 20,000 direct jobs, and an additional 70,000 indirectly as part of this effort. The Plant a Billion Trees Campaign is also associated with The Nature Conservancy's Adopt an Acre program, which consists of nine locations, including Brazil.[45][better source needed]
Involvement in the community[edit]
The Nature Conservancy also features e-cards from the Atlantic Forest, as well as video of the Atlantic Forest and detailed information about the seedlings on their website.[46] The Web site also features a news feed and an interactive map of the Atlantic Forest region in Brazil, as well as information on many of the plants, animals, and people that are impacted by the plight of the forest and who may benefit from its restoration.[46][better source needed]
Tree planting[edit]
The Nature Conservancy plants one tree in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil for each dollar donated by supporters.[citation needed] Some of the seeds being planted consist of:
- Guapuruvu Tree (Schizolobium parahyba) – An indigenous plant of Atlantic Forest, this has one of the fastest growth rates of all the native species.
- Golden Trumpet Tree (Tabebuia umbellate) – According to popular belief, when this tree's yellow blooms appear, no more frosts will occur. The wood of a Golden Trumpet Tree has the same fire rating as concrete and is denser than water. Illegal logging activity has grown due to this tree's growing popularity.
- Ice-Cream Bean Tree (Inga edulis) – Leafy and abundant, this tree controls weeds and erosion. Its popular fruit is a long pod up to a few feet, containing a sweet pulp surrounding large seeds.
- Capororoca Tree (Myrsine ferruginea) – Birds like the Rufous-bellied Thrush enjoy the fruit off of this tree.[44][better source needed]
History of the campaign[edit]
The Nature Conservancy launched the Plant a Billion Trees Campaign in 2008 with a micro-site plantabillion.org that is affiliated but not hosted by The Nature Conservancy's website.
As a part of this launch, The Nature Conservancy pledged to plant 25 million trees as part of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP)'s Billion Tree Campaign.[47][better source needed] This campaign encourages individuals and organizations to plant their own trees around the world and record this action on the website as a tally.
On Earth Day 2009, Disneynature's film Earth debuted, promising to plant a tree for every ticket sold to the film in its first week. This resulted in a donation of 2.7 million trees to the Plant a Billion Trees program.[48]
The Plant a Billion Trees Campaign has followed The Nature Conservancy's approach of partnering with larger organizations (such as Disneynature, Planet Green, Penguin Books, Payless Shoesource, AT&T, Disney Worldwide Conservation Fund, and Visa) to leverage donations from supporters and increase efficiency and effectiveness of the campaign.[44][better source needed]
- Penguin Classics sponsored a Penguin Walk[49] to benefit the Plant a Billion Trees Campaign on June 6, 2009 as well.[50]
- Payless Shoesource sponsored the Plant a Billion Trees Campaign[51][better source needed] by giving $1 to The Nature Conservancy for every Plant a Billion Trees reusable bag sold between April 13, 2009, and December 31, 2009 (sold at a retail value of $1.99) and $1 from each zoe&zac branded product sold between 4/13/09 and 5/4/09. Payless guaranteed a minimum total contribution of $100,000 in 2009 from these sales and the sales of other merchandise during 2009.
- Panasonic has been involved by planting a tree for each customer who selects The Nature Conservancy in its "Giving Back" program.[47][better source needed]
- Organic Bouquet donated ten percent for every flower and gift purchased during the month of April 2008 at www.organicbouquet.com/nature.[47][better source needed]
The Nature Conservancy and its scientists also work with other conservation organizations, local landowners, state and federal officials, agencies, and private companies to protect, connect, and buffer what is left of the Atlantic Forest.[47][better source needed]
Over the years, The Nature Conservancy has faced a number of criticisms. They fall into the following main categories:
Too close to business[edit]
The Nature Conservancy has ties to many large companies, including those in the oil, gas, mining, chemical and agricultural industries.[52] Its Board of Directors currently includes the retired chairman of Duke Energy, and executives from Merck, HP, Google and several financial industry groups.[53] It also has a Business Council which it describes as a consultative forum that includes Bank of America, BP America, Cargill, Chevron, The Coca-Cola Company, The Dow Chemical Company, Duke Energy, General Mills, Royal Dutch Shell, and Starbucks Coffee Company.[54] The organization faced criticism in 2010 from supporters for its refusal to cut ties with BP after the Gulf oil spill.[55][56]
Writer and activist Naomi Klein, have strongly criticized The Nature Conservancy for earning money from an oil well on land it controls in Texas.[57] Klein has also criticized The Nature Conservancy and other large environmental NGOs for their continued engagement with fossil fuel companies.[58]
Questionable resale[edit]
There have been allegations of The Nature Conservancy obtaining land and reselling it at a profit, sometimes to supporters,[59] who have then made use of it in ways which many perceived as being insufficiently environmentally friendly. The rationale for the resale has been that the profit allows The Nature Conservancy to increase its preservation of what the Nature Conservancy claims are more important locations.[60] However, the Conservancy does have a no-net-profit policy that has been in effect for years for all transactions of this type. It has ways of ensuring that its disbursements will offset any illicitly-generated revenues.[61]
Animal rights[edit]
Like many large environmental groups such as the Sierra Club and the World Wildlife Fund, the Conservancy has also been criticized for using hunting in its management policies. Retired General Norman Schwarzkopf, the Commander of coalition forces during the First Gulf War, and a member of the President's Conservation Counsel of the Conservancy, was also a member of the trophy hunting organization the Safari Club International.[62]
Junk Mail[edit]
The Nature Conservancy asks for monetary contributions, in part by sending out unsolicited promotional letters, calendars, et cetera (i.e., so-called "junk mail"). The practice of sending junk mail wastes millions of trees (per year), produces greenhouse gases equivalent to millions of cars (per year), and wastes billions of gallons of water (per year), according to the environmental impact group 41pounds.org.[63]
The organization publishes The Nature Conservancy magazine (ISSN 1540-2428; six issues per year).

in adults is 96% to 98%. Rather, we investigated a group of young adults with
acute varicella who claimed to have had prior varicella. We discovered that
none had preexisting antibodies to VZV in serum samples predating their acute
varicella episode and concluded that true second episodes of varicella in
immunocompetent adults must be rare. As we stated in our conclusions, the
20 patients who believed that they were having a second episode of varicella
must represent the 2% to 4% of adults who believe they have had varicella
previously but are, in fact, seronegative.1- 3

If Neils Miller doesn't have a statue in Appleton, Wisconsin, he should. You'll be hard pressed to find someone who has had a larger impact on the welding industry than Mr. Miller. Back in 1929, he saw a need for a small, affordable arc welder that would operate on the type of electricity readily available in rural Wisconsin. Using American ingenuity, he cobbled together scrap metal, core and coil materials and hammered out that first welder in his basement. Six short years later, Miller Electric Mfg. Co. produced an industry-changing industrial welder and the rest is history.
Throughout the 40's, Miller's machines powered war efforts in the shipyards and defense plants. In the 50's, Miller played a key role in the construction of most major planes, jets, fighters and missiles. Companies like Boeing, Cessna, Lockheed, Douglas all used Miller machines in their factories. The 1970's brought the introduction of the Millermatic machines; the first power source with a built-in wire feeder.
Today, Miller Electric continues their dominance in the marketplace with machines like the Millermatic 211 and the Dynasty 200 DX, Auto-darkening welding helmets, and the Diversion 180 AC/DC TIG Welder. Miller's full line of welding machines and welding accessories give their loyal customers plenty of reasons to "Bleed Blue."

Two 17-year-old Wilson High School baseball players and their former coaches have been acquitted on all charges in the controversial case of alleged horseplay on the team bus last year -- but that doesn't mean it will be the last time they see the inside of a courtroom.
Two of the top lawyers in the region on Thursday vowed to press forward with civil lawsuits against the school district -- a process that may yet clear up what really happened on a baseball team bus ride from Niagara Falls to Wilson April 17, 2008.
Town Justice George R. Berger, who presided over the case in closed-door session because it involved possible youthful offenders, notified lawyers by mail Thursday that he found the two players not guilty of forcible touching, child endangerment and first- and second-degree hazing. He did not explain his decision, nor is he required to do so.
"It's a sealed case. I can't comment," Berger said when reached at home.
Defense attorneys for the boys didn't hesitate to speak out.
"We're very happy, obviously," said Kevin P. Shelby, attorney for one of the players. He said he had some jitters that the judge might convict on the least of the counts, second-degree hazing.
"After having gone through the trial, I think it's the appropriate verdict," said the other defense attorney, P. Andrew Vona. "We believe we deserved it."
"All through this, the childhood story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf' kept going through my head," the father of Shelby's client said.
The father of Vona's client told The Buffalo News, "I was running through the house yelling, 'Not guilty!' "
As for his son, "He said that he felt the weight of the world was off his shoulders," the father said.
A third defendant, now 19, previously pleaded guilty to child endangerment and will be sentenced by Berger on Aug. 18.
Assistant District Attorney Robert A. Zucco, who prosecuted the case, declined to comment Thursday. On Monday, the day their trial was to start, he dropped child endangerment charges against coaches William M. Atlas and Thomas J. Baia.
>Shift in focus
Three varsity players originally were charged with abusing three junior varsity players in a case that took on sexual overtones. Baia and Atlas were accused of failing to intervene during the alleged incident, and there were allegations that similar incidents had occurred in the past.
"I have no doubt there was some noise and chaos in the back of the bus, as would typically be the case in a school bus full of teenagers, but I think there was no evidence of anything beyond horseplay, because nothing beyond horseplay ever happened, and I don't think many of the witnesses saw what did happen," Vona said.
The action is now expected to shift to State Supreme Court, where parents of three junior varsity players who were allegedly victimized will pursue legal action -- but against the school district, not the players or their coaches.
Christopher O'Brien, of the O'Brien and Boyd firm, said he represents one of the JV players and has filed court paperwork, although the case has yet to be assigned to a judge.
"Our case was never against the boys. Our case was always against the school district for failing in their primary responsibility, which is to protect the children," O'Brien said.
Terrence M. Connors, who is representing two other complainants, said he will file by the end of the month. He said Thursday's verdicts won't deter his clients.
The threshold of evidence in the civil cases will be different than in the criminal cases. Unlike Zucco, Connors and O'Brien don't have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt who did what during a chaotic few moments on the bus.
"We have to show the school district has a duty to protect the welfare of the children, which is the statute," O'Brien said. "It's less critical to point the finger: this boy did this, that boy did that."
O'Brien charges that his client, who was not one of the complainants in the criminal case, was bullied repeatedly over a lengthy period, but not on the now-infamous bus trip from Niagara Falls to Wilson.
O'Brien said his client got in trouble with the older players when he allegedly tried to prevent them from dragging a JV teammate to the back of the team bus. On April 17, 2008, "My client was not in the back of the bus," he said.
>Injury alleged
O'Brien asserted that his client, who did not testify at the players' trial, could have helped the prosecution.
His court papers assert that during the spring of 2008, the boy was "injured" both on school grounds and on the team bus.
"He was assaulted and/or abused by students, [which] took place on a repeated basis during the school day, during baseball practice and/or while the students were being transported to and from baseball games," the papers say.
The suit demands damages to compensate for "severe emotional, mental and psychological injuries," and the cost of counseling for the boy. "We want a jury of six people from Niagara County, and they'll tell us what justice is," O'Brien said when asked if he had a figure in mind for settling the case.
The papers charged that the alleged injuries were caused by "the negligence, carelessness and lack of appropriate policies of the school district, together with the school district's inadequate response to prior complaints about similar behavior preceding these incidents."
School Superintendent Michael S. Wendt said this of the verdict: "It didn't surprise me, because it was in line with similar findings we had when we readmitted the kids to school." The 17-year-olds were suspended after their arrests last year but were reinstated last Dec. 1 after a hearing by the school's attorney.
Regarding the allegations in O'Brien's lawsuit, Wendt said, "I certainly haven't heard anything that would lend credit to what he says."
As for "prior complaints," O'Brien said he was relying on a statement from one of the defendants to state police. The statement said that in 2006, he was a victim of an assault by older players, who struck him in the legs and were punished by having to run laps of the field.
That defendant's father confirmed Thursday that his son "was slapped around on the back of the bus" in 2006.
Meanwhile, Wendt said that when Baia and Atlas go before the Board of Education on Tuesday for reinstatement to their teaching jobs, the topic of returning to coaching may not be settled.
"If the teachers are reinstated, then they would likely to be able to coach, but that still remains to be seen," the superintendent said.
Asked Thursday if the two players would be welcome back on his team if he's returned to coaching, Baia said, "I would guess that would be a decision up to the school. From my point of view, of course I would."e-mail: email@example.com
