Five years and ten seasons in, ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" Monday night hopes to regain some mojo this spring after a less-than-enthralling fall.
This meant reducing the cast to 11 and mixing celebs who will draw guys (Pamela Anderson, Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls) and gals (Jake Pavelka from the "Bachelor," Aiden Turner from "All My Children"). And it never hurts to throw in some divisive figures, too, such as Kate Gosselin and Shannen Doherty.
And Edie Falco continues to make her problematic nurse character likable despite her cheating, pill-popping ways on Showtime's "Nurse Jackie," back Monday night for a second season:
"Dancing With the Stars" 8 p.m. ABC (10th-season debut) — The cast of 11 ranges from classy (astronaut Buzz Aldrin) to trashy (Kate Gosselin of "Jon & Kate" fame).
"The Secret Life of the American Teenager" 8 p.m. ABC Family (second-season finale) — John celebrates his first birthday.
"24" 9 p.m. Fox — With CTU down, Jack chases after those pesky plutonium rods his way.
"Damages" 10 p.m. FX — Ellen's family life goes haywire and Frobisher starts his movie.
"Nurse Jackie" 10 p.m. Showtime (second-season debut) — The pill-popping nurse tries to stop cheating on her sweet husband but that won't be easy.
"The United States of Tara" 10:30 p.m. Showtime (second-season debut) — Meds have kept the alter egos at bay – but not forever.
"American Idol" 8 p.m. Fox — The theme is Billboard No. 1's, which is so broad as to be almost meaningless, though it's certain nobody will do "Chariots of Fire."
"Lost" 9 p.m. ABC — Back story is on Richard, the ageless acolyte of the now-dead Jacob.
"16 and Pregnant" 10 p.m. MTV — For better or worse, teens are fascinated seeing other teens pregnant.
"Justified" 10 p.m. FX — Last week was the biggest FX debut since "The Shield." Raylan chases down an escaped felon who has just three months left on his sentence.
"Parenthood" 10 p.m. NBC — Hoping the writers can give Lauren Graham a bit more of that "Gilmore Girl" mojo.
"Southland" 10 p.m. TNT — Cooper and Sherman visit Dewey at a halfway house.
"America's Next Top Model" 8 p.m. the CW — The two local gals are outspoken. Last week, Alasia from Marietta clashed with Ren. This week, Anslee of Dacula goes toe to toe with Brenda.
"Survivor" 8 p.m. CBS — The NCAA tournament forces this reality classic back a day early and it's a double elimination. Can Russell, immunity idol in hand, fend off powerful Boston Rob?
"American Idol" 9 p.m. Fox — Whoever leaves tonight will likely miss the "Idols Live" tour, which in the past has taken only the top 10.
"Fly Girls" 9 p.m. the CW (new series) — Following the lives of five Virgin America flight attendants. Don't dare call them "stewardesses." That's so 1975.

The county-wide 1-percent capital facilities tax is predicted to be in effect for another year, give or take a month.
The proceeds from that tax, a total of $13.2 million, are funding much-needed projects in Cody, Meeteetse and Powell.
In just a few weeks, the new Cody branch of the Park County Library will open. Pool construction and remodeling in Meeteetse is nearing completion, and construction of the family aquatic center in Powell will begin sometime this fall.
While few of us like the idea of higher taxes, the capital facilities tax is a way to pay for facilities like these that make the communities of Park County better places to live.
And most would agree that the tax is relatively painless. For every $100 spent, just $1 in extra tax is paid. That's the price of a bottle of pop.
Also consider the fact that a 2007 economic impact study on tourism in Wyoming determined that, in Park County, tourist spending accounted for more than 26 percent of the total sales tax collected.
That's right — people who don't even live here are paying for more than one fourth of these projects. That's a pretty good deal for us.
People are already throwing out ideas as to what our communities' needs will be in the future, and grumblings about "no more taxes" already can be heard.
We live in a state with some of the lowest taxes in the nation — 1-percent sales taxes pay for large-scale projects in our towns, without overburdening county residents.
Capital facilities taxes give us a big bang for our buck. If a worthy project is presented, we'd be wise to consider another tax in 2010.

An Owasso homeowner will likely not face any charges after shooting a man who was trying to break into his home Sunday evening.
Owasso Police received a 911 call about an attempted home invasion around 8 p.m. Sunday in the 9900 block of E. 100th Pl. North, and while officers were en route to the scene, they were told shots had been fired.
According to police, when officers arrived, they found the suspect on the back patio with a gunshot wound to the thigh.
He was identified as 44-year-old Timothy Wall, treated on scene by Owasso medics and transported to a Tulsa hospital.
Wall has been charged with first-degree burglary.
Police told KTUL.com that no charges are being sought against the homeowner at this time.

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) 2010 forum took place last week in Yokohama and I just cannot help but be critical of the event's brand touchpoints. Aside from the World Economic Forum in Davos, APEC is becoming one of the world's largest economic events. Every November, member nations from the Asia-Pacific Rim converge in a different city, to discuss the future of the Asia-Pacific region. But if Asia-Pacific is serious about leading the world in economics, trade and technology, then like all brands within Asia-Pacific, it must take branding seriously.
A quick comparison of APEC and WEF's digital touchpoints demonstrate APEC's deficiencies when it comes to branding. Both organizations have a Facebook page. However, WEF's Facebook page is brilliant: Clear and logical with quick links to the official Facebook Fan Page, the WEF blog and the WEF website. I am not surprised that it has over 13,000 Facebook fans. (Not bad for an economic NGO.) The page also has a YouTube tab that is packed with up-to-the-minute interviews with world leaders and reports from regional forums. The LiveStream tab is presented as an interactive TV station with links to share on Twitter, Facebook and Buzz, plus a chat and social stream feature. Whoever thought economics, trade and international security could be so much fun?
In contrast, APEC's Facebook presence is poor. It is comprised of three amateur photographs, a discussion tab with no comments since 2008, and an info tab containing clumsy information. Overall, the experience is disappointing. If APEC accounts for 40 percent of the world's population and nearly half of world GDP then it must get serious and focus on communicating a strong message with intelligent brand touchpoints. Judge for yourselves: WEF vs. APEC.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (September 20, 2013) – Behind the feet of redshirt senior Tricia DiPaolo (Sparta, N.J.) and junior Stef Scholz (South Hackensack, N.J.), the Rutgers women's soccer team earned a late 2-1 victory Friday night at Yurcak Field. Scholz converted the game-winner with 0:31 seconds remaining off a ball from DiPaolo, who earned her second assist of the game on the cap.
With the victory, RU (7-1-1) maintains its four-match unbeaten streak (3-0-1) as it heads into its conference opener next Friday at Cincinnati.
"Tricia played with an unbelievable urgency tonight," said head coach Glenn Crooks. "She continues to find her game at right back – not her natural position – and she's defending better from that position, she's attacking better out of that position and she's really seeing it.
"You see the kind of service that Trish can get, and both finishes were class. The game-winner by Scholz was phenomenal, and that was just and absolutely unbelievable finish."
The Scarlet Knights came out firing in the second half, outshooting the Wildcats (3-4-2) a convincing, 16-1. RU put 10 of its 22 shots for the game on goal, with Scholz's game-winner guiding the Scarlet Knights to victory.
Scholz now leads the team with six goals on the season, all of which have come in the last three games. After her two-assist match, DiPaolo is now tied for the team lead with three assists.
Redshirt senior Jess Janosz (Ringwood, N.J.) improved to 7-1-1 on the season. She made three saves and allowed Nova's lone goal in the 40th minute of action.
Freshman Madison Tiernan (Voorhees, N.J.) knotted the game up at 1-1 in the 72nd minute on a header in front of the net. DiPaolo sent a perfect ball in from 30 yards out that led to a Tiernan volley to tie the match.
Tiernan is now second on the team with five goals after scoring in three consecutive matches.
The Scarlet Knights are off until Friday, Sept. 27, when they travel to Cincinnati, Ohio to open their American Athletic Conference slate against Cincinnati. RU blanked the Bearcats, 5-0, last season at Yurcak Field and holds an 8-2-1 all-time advantage.
Game Notes
- With the victory, RU is now 7-1-1 on the year – its best start since beginning the 2009 season with the same record.
- Scholz earned her first start of the season against the Wildcats. It marked the first start for Scholz since Oct. 27, 2011.
- Scholz's six goals in three games are the most for an RU player since redshirt senior Jonelle Filigno (Mississauga, Canada) opened the first three matches of 2012 with five goals. Former RU player Ashley Jones also recorded five goals from Sept. 13-20 during the 2009 season.
- DiPaolo recorded her seventh and eighth career helpers Friday night against Villanova. It was the first multi-assist game of her career.
- Tiernan and Scholz are the first RU players to score in three consecutive matches since Filigno did so to open last season. Filigno scored five of RU's six goals to open the year.
- Filigno left the match in the first half with an injury, but returned to play the second half.
- RU recorded at least 20 shots (22) for the third-straight game and fourth time this season. The Scarlet Knights have not achieved that feat since beginning the 2009 season with 23, 21 and 28 shots in its first three matches.

Where the car insurance cheaters live
Rate evasion raises car insurance rates for everyone. And soon, in at least one state, it may be against the law.
Registering and insuring your vehicle using your sister's address in the next state or your parents' house in a neighboring county might seem a clever way to save money on your car insurance rates.
In some cases, doing so might save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year. In Bullhead City, Ariz., for example, a 40-year-old man driving a 2012 Honda Accord would pay about $729 a year. But across the Colorado River in Laughlin, Nev., the same driver would pay about $1,580.
Compare what drivers pay in these neighboring ZIP codes:
- Attleboro, Mass.: $977; Pawtucket, R.I.: $1,860.
- Fort Smith, Ark.: $1,075; Roland, Okla.: $2,116.
- Hazel Park, Mich.: $2,485; Detroit, Mich.: $4,314
You can check out the differences in your city with CarInsurance.com's Nosy Neighbor tool.
The temptation is clear enough. But if you're caught with your car registered at the wrong location, you could see your auto insurance claim invalidated or a bill for unpaid premiums in your mailbox.
And if you live in New Jersey, you might soon face criminal charges.
So what's the harm in cheating?
While fudging on your address might seem harmless enough, it's a practice known as rate evasion, and it's considered a form of insurance fraud. A 2010 report by Quality Planning, an industry analyst, put the cost to insurers at more than $1 billion a year.
"It's one of those issues that cause consternation," says Howard Goldblatt, director of government affairs with the Coalition Against Insurance Fraud in Washington, D.C. The nonprofit's membership is made up dozens of insurance companies, consumer groups and government organizations.
With rate evasion, people claim to live in another state or that their car is garaged there, in order to pay lower insurance rates. They might also say they live in another, less costly county in the same state.
If you say you live in Pennsylvania and you actually live in New Jersey, "you're posing a risk here but you're not paying for that risk," says Chuck Leitgeb, vice president of the Insurance Council of New Jersey. The insurance advocacy and research group comprises 20 companies that together underwrite two-thirds of the state's auto policies.
Residents of your home state whose vehicles are registered in the right location end up covering your share of the costs by paying higher auto insurance rates, Leitgeb says.
And drivers of the state you falsely claim as your own face higher premiums if you have an accident -- because your wreck makes their statistics look worse than they actually are.
Rate evasion can have unexpected consequences. The Michigan news site MLive.com found that a large number of Detroit residents had registered their vehicles in other, less expensive parts of the state, depressing the number of registered voters in the city.
By at least one estimate, some 60% of Detroit residents don't even bother with buying car insurance.
Where the cheaters live -- and don't live
Rate evasion is particularly common in states such as New Jersey, New York and Florida - all states with sky-high auto insurance rates in some of their metro areas. Residents will use an address or a P.O. box in another location to register their vehicles.
In certain areas of New Jersey, especially northern, urban areas, and the southern part of the state bordering Pennsylvania, it's not uncommon to see plenty of cars with out-of-state license plates regularly parked in people's driveways and on residential streets, Leitgeb says.
It's a similar situation in New York, where cars from North Carolina and Pennsylvania can be found parked in the middle of the week on Brooklyn streets, Goldblatt says. Prosecutors report dozens of vehicles registered at some Pennsylvania addresses.
Many people get away with evading rates. Others don't.
Their fraud may be discovered once a claim is filed. If insurance companies suspect you're a rate evader, they can pay a company such as Lexis-Nexis to do a public records search. If your car is insured in North Carolina but your phone bills go to New York, you may have a problem.
Or their neighbors may turn them in. "It drives people crazy," New York state Sen. Diane Savino told the New York Post. "Constituents are calling my office to report motorists who have out-of-state license plates."
New York legislators have even proposed a reward for doing so. Some states already have online systems to report cheaters like this one run by the California Highway Patrol.
The worst that can happen? Prison
Some states are moving to crack down on the practice of rate evasion. North Carolina and Idaho, which have some of the lowest auto insurance rates, have made it tougher to register vehicles there.
In Pennsylvania, the Attorney General's Office has stepped up rate evasion prosecution. Last year, for example, a New Jersey man and 11 co-conspirators were charged with illegally providing Pennsylvania vehicle registrations and insurance to people who lived in other states.
Now New Jersey has the practice in its sights. Under current state law, New Jersey's Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor can't prosecute such cases because they're not considered a form of insurance fraud.
Smart Spending on the go: Get our app for Android or iPhone
But that soon could change. A bill working its way through the state's Legislature would classify rate evasion as insurance fraud, with varying levels of criminal penalties if someone is convicted, including up to 18 months in jail.

ROUND #282, Demonic Speedster w/ variants
ROUND#282, Demonic Speedster w/ variants
This next week and a half (you'll have a bit longer to do this one so we can get back to our "Tuesday new topic" schedule) we'll be designing 3 variants on the same concept. Much like the spitter round 2 cows ago, you won't be able to illustrate an entire scene for your creatures to exist in. You'll only be able to show the creature design itself. With that said here's the brief...
Design 3 variants of a demonic beast that has the ability to move very fast. Because you won't be designing a scene for this creature to move through. You will need to show its capability for high speeds through your designs alone. Hopefully this will be a good challenge to amp up your design skills.
Requirements this week...
- you may NOT include a scene, or backdrop for your creature designs. Only include straight forward designs on a blank page layout for your finals. NO ILLUSTRATIONS!
- the creatures must appear to be able to move exceptionally fast.
- the designs must be demonic in nature. They are creatures that live in, or come from hell.

Here's my first idea for the creature. Gonna start with the other variants now.
Is it OK to fully render one of the variants and leave the other two looser, maybe just as sketches? That way you know the final creature and can easily picture the other two versions with the same finish.
I just really wanna paint this one but I don't know if I would have time for all three. Thanks.
Sounds like another good one! Count me in!
Last week was hectic and I wasn't able to participate- so I have some making up to do!
Awesome cow there!!! Im working on it right now, lets work all!! Hace fin everyone
Some quick ideas
Here's my first variation...
I thought I'd throw a sketch out and see how it goes.
64% of all percentages are made up on the spot.

Hey guys here is my sketch of Hell hounds A.K.A Demonic speedsters ..They are the fastest sprinters in the realm of hell . They are primarly used to hunt down souls that try to escape hell .. some species hav been used as mounts by the dark riders
Very cool work everyone! Who doesn't like painting demons?
Here's a wip of my first creature version. Gonna do a full paint of the other two as well.
Very early approach, all of them are very similar though
Thx Nickybeats man!!! Awesome work you too
Im seeing a lot nice stuff here. Lets do the best!!!!

really cool stuff guys, looking forward to this c.o.w
decided to focus on the terrain these guys would traverse; they swim around in magma and jump like tree frogs on land. their heads are inspired by dogs receiving a face full of quills after biting into a porcupine and attack by ramming their heads into whatever they're trying to catch.
Awesome designs everyone! Beautiful shapes Jimmy Zhang, and the silver color is great! Eclectix, i personally really like the wheel-design! It's fun and it definitely looks fast! Alexson the second version has awesome color and looks way scary! Philip those silhouettes are really nice, and i'm looking forward to seeing how the middle one will look. Rob Powell, your sketches are awesome like always. I really like the design at the top! Rynka I really love your design at the top left. It's very simple but it scares me, and there is something about the smile and the way it looks like it moves that's cool. Artka your sketches are beautiful and all the creatures look like they are super fast. Panketepang there is something in your sketches that reminds me of the awesome movie Titan A:E! This is a great compliment! Giby, the design for the mouth of the creature to the left is really cool. And i really like the eyes of the one on the bottom. Blazinwolf the movement in your painting is beautiful, and i love the creatures expression. NickyBeats, the design on the top row at the far right is the fastest looking creature so far if you ask me. It looks like it can burst into hyper-speed at any moment. Ricardops, I like how you have gone beyond the kind of animal anatomy that is what we associate with speed. They look very much like they all come from hell. Tyrus, i am very much looking forward to seeing where you are going to take the sketch. It looks very interesting and i hope you finish it! Doug Hoppes, i like the movement in your sketch and i hope to see more of this creature! Jarkuzy, the design at the top right and the one at the bottom left are my favourites. They are both inspiring and a little bit mystical. Like they come from a dark fairy tail. In a great way.
I have been wondering about this challenge and here is what i think is a fun problem. The animals that we think of when we think of speed are mostly cats, dogs, maybe some fish-like creatures, birds and maybe lizards and a few others. If these creatures that we are designing are from hell, they don't need to have any similarities with any animal from our world, right? When you come from, or live in hell, i guess you don't have to have any similar anatomy to anything fast in our world, and still move very fast. But, because we do know what kind of body moves fast in our world, is it impossible to make anything look fast to us, that doesn't exist and also doesn't resemble anything that we know is fast? This question doesn't need to be relevant for the challenge, i just thought it was interesting. Because the sketches i have been doing end up looking slow when i don't hint to anything that looks like a fast animal that we know of. It's hard to go for something that i can imagine coming from hell (that is to say totally nightmarish) and still make it look like it can move fast. i'm not at all trying to start a discussion about what this challenge is about or anything like that. I just noticed this and thought i'd ask if anyone else has any thoughts about this. Anyway awesome stuff everyone! And i love these weekly challenges!
Any critique is very welcome! I am here to learn! Thank you!
If you are interested please take a look:
My website!
@AdamStolterman: Thanks =] I'll probably be colouring them closer to the deadline if I have time. In regards to your question, I've asked similar ones for most of my projects (e.g. how to make a flying, alien creature look like it flies, does it need wings? if it doesn't, do i risk alienating the viewer?). As you've found out, presenting things in an unfamiliar way often alienates the viewer; we're pretty stubborn when it comes to our expectations of what an archetype is supposed to look like. Using the speedsters as an example, they have to convey speed without context (environment, narrative, etc.) this leaves us with focusing on forms that we already associate with speed to get that idea across to the viewer (slender silhouette, angular, etc.). It seems like the fewer elements we have to explain things to an audience, the more we rely on familiar things to communicate our ideas successfully.
First of three. I'd like to expand a bit on the design with some sketches, but I'm not sure if that's along the lines of the rules
I'm trying!
Here's my first variant. It's a sprinter that chases down large prey, hooking them with the curved bone of its' skull. It then spreads its' frill, bringing it and its' prey to a sudden halt.
Great work guys!
Unfortunately I won't have time to finish all my creatures... so here's the one i did.

Tweedy Browne Value Fund Gets More Bullish on These Stocks
Anh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The Tweedy Browne Value Fund has managed to deliver a nice annual return of 8.82% for the past 20 years, beating the S&P 500's annualized return of 7.70%. The fund, with net assets of $600.5 million, or $21.50 NAV, seeks long-term growth by investing in undervalued securities.
In the first quarter 2013, it added more shares of Halliburton (NYSE: HAL) and Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-A) to its portfolio. Let's take a closer look at these two companies to see whether or not investors should follow Tweedy Browne Value Fund into these stocks.
Halliburton – a relatively undervalued company
Tweedy Browne increased its stake in Halliburton from 252,700 shares to 307,865 shares. Halliburton, established in 1919, is a leading provider of services and products to oil & gas and other related energy players, operating in two business segments: Completion and Production and Drilling and Evaluation.
The Completion and Production segment generated most of its operating income, $3.14 billion, whereas the operating profit of the Drilling and Evaluation segment was around $1.67 billion in 2012. The company has a diverse customer base as no customer accounted for more than 10% of its total revenue during any period. Being the largest hydraulic-fracturing service provider in the world, the company has benefited a lot from a recent fracking boom.
Halliburton is trading at around $40 per share with a total market cap of more than $37 billion. The market values the company at around 6.1 times EV/EBITDA. In the first quarter of 2013, the company increased its quarterly dividend by 39% to $0.125 per share. Consequently, the forward dividend yield is around 1.25%. In addition, the company announced that it would continue its "systematic" share repurchases.
Baker Hughes – similar valuation but much less profitable
Compared to its peer Baker Hughes (NYSE: BHI), Halliburton has a lower valuation. At around $43 per share, Baker Hughes is worth around $19.1 billion on the market. It is valued at 6.2 times EV/EBITDA. The company is also a leading supplier of oilfield services, products, and systems to the big global oil & natural gas companies, operating in more than 80 countries.
Recently, Baker Hughes received an unsolicited "mini-tender offer" from TRC Capital to buy up to 2.5 million shares of the company at around $42 per share. Interestingly, the offer came in at a 4.61% off from its recent closing price. Thus, Baker Hughes recommended investors to reject TRC's "mini-tender offer".
Income investors would like Baker Hughes due to its consistent dividend payment for the past several decades. It pays around $0.15 per share with a dividend yield of 1.4%.
Halliburton is more profitable than Baker Hughes with a higher operating margin at 15.64%, while the operating margin of Baker Hughes is only 9.81%. Halliburton also enjoys a higher return on equity of 17.84% whereas the return on equity of Baker Hughes is only 7.13%.
Royal Dutch Shell – a global oil & gas play with juicy dividends
The Tweedy Browne Value Fund has also increased its stake in Royal Dutch Shell to more than 603,000 shares. Shell is considered one of the biggest independent oil/gas companies with global operations in the U.S., the U.K., Brazil, Brunei, China, Denmark, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Oman, Qatar, and Russia. The company operates in both upstream and downstream segments.
Most of its revenue, $424.4 billion, was generated from the downstream segment, while the upstream segment contributed only $94.55 billion in revenue in 2012. In terms of geography, Shell derived most of its revenue from two main geographical segments -- Europe ($184.2 billion) and Asia, Oceania, Africa ($156.3 billion).
In 2012, Shell had around 13.6 billion BOE in its proved reserves, less than BP's proved reserves of more than 17.7 billion BOE. ExxonMobil has the highest proved reserves among the three, at around 25.2 billion BOE.
At $66 per share, Shell is worth around $208 billion on the market. It is valued quite cheaply at only 4.24 EV/EBITDA. What investors might like about Shell is the fact that it is currently paying shareholders dividends with a juicy yield of 4.7%.
My Foolish take
Both Halliburton and Shell could be good stocks to buy at their current prices. Halliburton is relatively cheap compared to its peer, Baker Hughes. Shell, on the other hand, has quite a cheap valuation and offers a juicy dividend yield to its shareholders.

Radio 4 spends a day on a motor boat with Tucker the sniffer dog and a team of zoologists in search of killer whale dung, floating in the waters off the North American Pacific coast.
Tucker is a black Labrador. He is one of an elite team of detection dogs, trained to find the faeces of threatened animals in the cause of conservation.
A lump of faeces is packed with information about an animal's stress levels, fertility, nutritional status and exposure to chemical pollution. There is no other way to reap this data from living whales because whales spend most of their lives underwater. It is impossible to take blood samples from them because of their thick blubber. A trained dog's nose enables researchers from the University of Washington in Seattle to find whale scat in much greater quantities than by relying on their own human senses.
Tucker's work means the scientists can start to piece together an explanation for why a special population of killer whales in North America is at risk of extinction.
This community of orca lives between Vancouver Island and the mainland US Pacific coast. They number about 90 individuals and in recent years they have suffered some terrible times. Three years ago, about one in ten died. Several years earlier, 20% of them were lost.
Could it be the boat loads of whale-watching tourists which are fatally disturbing the animals? Or is it declining numbers of King Salmon - the staple food of this population of killer whales. Alternatively, high levels of industrial and agricultural pollutants from the land might be to blame. According to Professor Sam Wasser who runs the university's Center for Conservation Biology, the hormones and chemicals in the orcas' poop which Tucker might finds suggests a possible toxic interplay of factors.
Presenter Andrew Luck-Baker also talks to Rosalind Rolland, a whale biologist at the New England Aquarium in Boston. Ros was the first to use a detection dog to study whales through their faeces.
Her species is the gigantic North Atlantic Right Whale whose numbers are also perilously low. Her best detection dog was a Rottweiler called Fargo who worked in the drugs squad before moving into whale conservation. Sadly Fargo died last year and is much missed for his work ethic and fearlessness in the face of curious 70 tonne marine mammals.
This programme was first broadcast in October 2010.
Producer/presenter: Andrew Luck-Baker.

The Tragic Hero of the Post-Classical Renaissance
English drama spearheaded by William Shakespeare, is dominated by the Post-Classical Renaissance. Pre-renaissance drama in England was essentially allegorical plays extolling Christian values. This paper therefore critically looks at how Shakespearean tragic hero is defined and portrayed. The paper, using textual analysis, provides extracts from William Shakespeare's King Lear as the main text to present King Lear as tragic hero. The study shows that the post-classical renaissance period portrays the tragic hero on the basis of weakness of character and is different from the Aristotelian concept of tragedy as hamartia, a going wrong.
Key words: Shakespeare; Renaissance; Moral theory; King Lear

Luke Fretwell on sf.govfresh
GovFresh will be putting on their first local event on Sept 1 in San Francisco. Adobe is honored to host the event at our facilities in San Francisco. We asked Luke Fretwell of GovFresh to give us some context for the event. See the Q&A below.
Q: Thanks for spending a bit of time with us, Luke. Not that you need much of an introduction these days but can you give us a few sentences of background on yourself and GovFresh?
A: I grew up and worked in and around the Beltway. I studied Government & Politics and International Relations at George Mason University. I'm familiar with the Beltway culture how government operates.
I've spent much of the last 10 years in start-up environments and help entrepreneurs with their own ideas. I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to pursue my professional interests. During the dot-com bust, I helped re-work a VC-funded start-up into a government contractor and learned a lot about the business and procurement side of government.
GovFresh is the perfect storm of my Beltway past and Bay Area present. Having worked and lived in both has helped me understand how all this fits together.
Q: Talk a bit about the origins of the event you have coming up on Sept. 1. Where did the idea come from and what's the purpose?

Adobe Connect Helps U.S. Dept. of State "Connect" Speakers with International Audiences
Repost from Adobe Featured Blogs
The July/August issue of Harvard Business Review features the article titled "Empowered," by Josh Bernoff and Ted Shadler – a great read on how some leading companies are empowering their employees to use social technologies to interact with customers and help solve their problems. One of the highlighted use cases is the U.S. State Department, which used Adobe Connect to create Co.Nx (pronounced "connex") for presenting webchats with speakers ranging from President Obama, to the upcoming webchat with Curt Onalfo, head coach of D.C. United. With a strong presence on Facebook, Co.Nx has more than 100,000 fans and its webchats are viewed by tens of thousands throughout the world.

Airbus Launches Chinese Biofuel Study
Airbus and China's Tsinghua University have agreed to jointly investigate biofuel feedstocks in the country in an initiative designed to identify the best options for sustainable commercialization of alternative fuel supply for aviation. By early next year, Airbus hopes to have narrowed down the list of possible feedstocks, which will include cooking oil and algae, to the most promising alternative fuel solutions. With that decision taken, the partners intend to investigate ways to accelerate production.
Professor Zhang Xiliang, director of the Institute of Energy, Environment and Economy, Tsinghua University, said the project will "help us improve our understanding of the nature of aviation biofuels commercialization in China." Airbus has already started to establish biofuel "value chains" in Latin America, Australia, Europe and the Middle East, so the latest project will add Asia to its prospective fuel supply network.
Last month Boeing and Chinese aerospace group Comac opened their Aviation Energy Conservation and Emissions Reduction Technology Center, whose first project involves exploring opportunities to refine waste cooking oil. Efforts to develop viable biofuels to power airliners have gathered pace since early demonstration flights with biofuel-kerosene blends took place in 2008. More recently, Boeing conducted the first intercontinental scheduled flight powered by biofuel in August 2011 (an Aeromexico 777-200ER from Mexico City to Madrid) with a 30 percent jatropha-kerosene blend. In April 2012, Boeing and ANA conducted the first transpacific biofuel flight using a Boeing 787 (Seattle to Tokyo) fueled by a 15 percent blend derived from cooking oil.
In March, Boeing, Airbus and Embraer signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at fostering ties in developing enough "drop-in" affordable biofuels to meet 4 percent of aviation's fuel needs by 2020. Airbus concentrates its efforts in Europe, where it works with airlines in the European Commission-backed "Biofuel Flightpath" program, launched in June last year.
On August 30, China's ICBC Leasing ordered 50 Airbus A320s, including 20 of the new re-engined A320neo. Airbus achieved another breakthrough deal in Asia last week, when Philippine Airlines ordered 34 A321s, 10 A321neos and 10 A330-300s.

Relief for the victims of the Moore, Oklahoma tornadoes is coming from right here in eastern North Carolina.
Organizers with the Ayden Chamber of Commerce have reached Moore, Oklahoma were tornados devastated lives on May 20th. They spent weeks collecting school supplies from drop-off locations at Ayden elementary, middle, high school and the chamber.
Stacy Gaskins with the chamber says word spread and people were soon donated anything they could to the cause. The culmination of the donation drive was the "Stuff the Truck" event put on Saturday at the Ayden Town Common. The event featured live music and attractions.
The 20-foot Pensky truck was filled with donations during the event and left for Moore on Monday.
"They have nothing," said Gaskins, "The insurance is not going to cover a lot of their basic supplies, things from staples to scissors to art projects, coloring books, crayons. This was K-6 schools so they need everything."
You can follow the journey on the "Stuff the Truck" Facebook account.

Family of girl killed in crash to sue city over 911 delay
The family of a 4-year-old girl who was struck and killed by an unlicensed motorist on the Upper West Side earlier this month is preparing to file a $40 million lawsuit against the city and emergency responders, The Daily News reports.
Ariel Russo died on June 4 after she was struck by an SUV driven by a teen who was fleeing a traffic stop. Russo's grandmother remains in the hospital with injuries from the crash.
"It took them too long to get there," Sofia Russo, Ariel's mom, told The News. "No other child should die because it takes too long. The ambulance system has to be fixed for the children of New York."
Records show that it took four minutes and 18 seconds before EMS responders were dispatched to the scene, according to The News. It took another three minutes and 52 seconds before the ambulance reached the location of the accident.
Notices of claim will be filed on Wednesday.
"This is a terrible tragedy which never should have happened," Attorneys Sanford Rubenstein and Ira Newman said in a statement. "We intend to hold accountable all those responsible civilly, and the family is fully cooperating with the Manhattan district attorney's office."
The filing is expected to name the FDNY, the NYPD, EMS and the owners of the crash vehicle.
The driver of the vehicle, 17-year-old Franklin Reyes, has been charged with vehicular manslaughter. The teen had reportedly taken his mother's car without her permission and was on his way to St. Agnes Boys High School where he is a student.
Reyes was fleeing a traffic stop when he jumped the curb at Amsterdam Avenue and West 97th Street and struck Ariel and her grandmother.
The 911 system, which debuted just two weeks ago, has been under fire by critics. It is expected to be the subject of a City Council hearing on Monday.
The FDNY said the delay was caused by human error when a dispatcher missed the call, and it was not caused by any problems with the system.
