If you happened to read the June issue of Law Technology News, you may have noticed a three-page "advertorial" section on cloud computing for the legal profession sponsored by the file-sharing platform Box. Or if you visited the Box site recently, you may have noticed a new teaser on the front page inviting to learn more about Box for the legal industry. You might also have noticed that Box recently hired Nitin Gupta, the man who founded LawPivot (which I reviewed here) and then sold it to Rocket Lawyer, as director of professional-services marketing.
All of this is part of a ramped-up push by Box to expand its penetration in the legal industry. Perhaps unspoken in this push is that Box has been outpaced among legal professionals by Dropbox, the free file-sharing platform that sometime seems almost ubiquitous within the legal profession. In fact, among consumers generally, Dropbox is second in numbers of users only to Apple's iCloud among cloud-storage platforms.
Even so, Box has been gaining ground. Earlier this year, it said that its sales to law firms had increased by 70 percent during 2012. To the extent that Dropbox has outpaced Box among lawyers, then the reason is somewhat of a mystery, because, in terms of the features and security a law firm would want, Box outpaces Dropbox in several respects.
Notably, Box was developed from the get-go as a platform for business and enterprise document sharing and collaboration while Dropbox started out with a focus on consumers. Dropbox began to target businesses only in 2011, when it launched Dropbox for Teams, which it rebranded in April 2013 as Dropbox for Business.
Box offers a free, single-user subscription that comes with 5 GB of storage, which is more than the 2 GB you get with the basic Dropbox plan. However, the features that make Box attractive to lawyers come only with the business or enterprise plans. The business plan is $15 per user per month and includes 1,000 GB of storage per user.
Administrative and Access Controls
Some of the notable features Box offers include:
- File synchronization across multiple PCs and mobile devices.
- An administrative console where you can add and delete users, add and delete groups, assign rights to folders, and monitor file activity.
- Role-based access controls, allowing you to set different levels of permissions for different users and folders.
- The ability to edit documents in Box using your native desktop applications.
- Complete version histories.
- High-level encryption for files both during transfer and at rest. Dropbox does not encrypt files at rest.
Box integrates with two cloud-based platforms popular among legal professionals, practice management platform Clio and information security application IntApp. Through the Clio integration, documents in Box can be linked directly to cases and matters in Clio. The IntApp integration enables law firms to monitor lawyer and staff access to sensitive documents and provide alerts of abnormal activity.
Box also integrates with Google Apps, allowing you to crate Google Docs from directly within Box and easily share them via Gmail.
And, as Gupta told me in a recent phone conversation, Box is working on further expanding its integration with legal-specific applications. "We are focused on the legal vertical," he said, "and we are expanding our partner ecosystem in the legal space."
Box has strong collaboration features. You can easily invite others to view and edit files. As you work with others on files, you can post comments and track file versions. You can assign tasks to files, such as to approve, review or update a file.
Box also has Box OneCloud, a well-developed ecosystem of mobile apps that integrate directly with Box and that cover a range of functions from document editing and note-taking to faxing and wireless printing.
If you have never tried Box, consider giving it a go. As a solo, I am quite happy with the free version of Box. I do not need administrative and access controls. Somewhere along the line, Box bumped me up to 50 GB of storage as part of a promotion, so I have ample space for my files.
As I said above, you will need the paid business version to get advanced features such as the administrative console, role-based access and access management. However, you can try the business version for free for 14 days, so you can get a taste of it without spending a dime.

Did you mention that the Business plan requires 3 users minimum? Not just $15 but $45, and so solo's are left out of the advanced features on account of the solo status. Solos can in fact need permissions etc if they contract with other law firms and their personnel.

I actually switched from Box to Dropbox – here's why.
Box seduced me initially with its promises of encryption in transit and at rest, along with impressive descriptions of physical security at their servers: however, the more I learned about cloud storage, the more nervous I got about disclosure as a result of court order or accidental disclosure by the cloud provider's employees. I got particularly nervous about the fact that many of their servers were located out of my jurisdiction.
My solution is to encrypt documents before placing them into the cloud. A number of programs are available to do this: Viivo, Boxcryptor, and Truecrypt are crowd favorites for client-side encryption. Using this process ensures that you retain control over your information, using military-grade encryption.
However, all of these programs (and all local encryption programs I can find) are tailored specifically for Dropbox. Sure, you can MacGuyver a solution to force Boxcryptor to work with Box, but the whole process is quite a pain. Further, many of the most useful features of these programs will only work with Dropbox, such as mobile access – a key function if you're a tablet user, such as myself.
So, I switched. I feel that by encrypting the data before even uploading it, my data is more secure than using either cloud service alone.

JW Anderson launches e-commerce site
JW Anderson has launched his first e-commerce website, which will include campaign shots and exclusive merchandise.
JW Anderson has launched his first e-commerce website.
The designer, who also unveiled his spring/summer 2015 menswear collection today (16.06.14), claims the site was a natural step for the label.
He told VOGUE: ''Our database is young and our impact is around social media, so it feels right to be finally embracing our customer in this way.''
Anderson describes the site as having ''an uncomplicated, purist approach'' and it includes current campaign shots, show looks and product images.
The e-commerce site is also going to sell exclusive merchandise and Anderson will manage his own blog, keeping fans up to date on every design and event.
He said: ''We've developed such a strong following over the years that we have turned into a cult brand and our customers have wanted to have something more from us.
''I like this idea when all the aspects of the business are streamed together so that people can see a full demographic. It's so much more personal and, as we're a very open company, it's so important to integrate comment from us.''
Meanwhile, his new collection features sharp tailoring, pin-striped trousers tied at the hip and jackets with cut away back panels.

Throughout this year, the end of which is fast approaching, dire warnings about the magnitude and severity of the swine flu/H1N1 virus swept repeatedly across the United States and much of the world. The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology last summer raised the specter that the H1N1 flu strain could infect nearly one half the population of the entire United States.
In typical knee-jerk fashion, Congress rushed to spend billions of taxpayer dollars to combat the looming catastrophe — appropriating close to $8 billion to fight the H1N1 flu virus this season. The federal government already has spent nearly $6.5 billion purchasing and distributing doses of swine flu/H1N1 vaccine. Tens of millions of doses of the vaccine that was specially developed and rushed through production to meet the perceived threat, were shipped to facilities in all parts of the country — where many millions now sit unused and unwanted. One news network reported recently that perhaps as many as 250 million doses of swine flu vaccine may wind up being thrown away by the end of the flu season early next year.
However, if one attempts to find out exactly what is happening to all that vaccine, one meets a brick wall. How many doses have actually been administered? What is the cost per dose? How many doses are actually stockpiled by the federal government and by the states? Repeated calls to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) yielded no meaningful information in answer to queries such as these; Internet searches for specifics were similarly unproductive. These questions are relevant for the taxpayers of this country who have been footing the bill for the government's efforts to meet the threat that it defined, but which now appears not to have materialized. Yet answers are as hard to come by as a Christmas creche on a town square.
The CDC, which earlier this year appeared eager to offer information and opinion highlighting the impending swine flu catastrophe, is now strangely silent when probed about what has happened to all that medicine it said was essential and which it claimed we absolutely had to buy. An organization which prides itself on the ability to define, track and defend against all manner of diseases and other threats to Americans' health, now is unable to answer basic questions about what has happened to billions of dollars worth of vaccines that it said were needed immediately if not sooner.
Could it be the Obama Administration doesn't want the American public — the taxpayers who pay for Washington's spendthrift ways — to know how much money has been wasted already in this effort, and how much will be wasted in the near future on unused and unwanted flu vaccine?
This is the same government that is pressuring Congress to rush through legislation that would give it effective control of virtually the entire American health care system. Accurate information on the degree to which it miscalculated and overreacted to one season's flu problem, wouldn't help that agenda right now, would it?

Mercury and Autism
There is much evidence that autism is triggered by a toxic overload which adversely affects organs throughout the body, including the brain. Research indicates that several toxins and biological agents could be contributing to a toxic overload causing autism, including but not limited to:
* ethylmercury in vaccines
* methylmercury and other forms of mercury in the environment
* organic pesticides
* bisphenol A in plastics
* aluminum hydroxide (used in vaccines to stimulate an immune response)
* certain viruses
SafeMinds has also focused on the link between autism and vaccines. There is substantial evidence that in a substantial portion of autism cases, vaccines are the final trigger to toxic overload. SafeMinds has long maintained that the high-mercury vaccines has contributed to autism, and there is growing evidence that the low-mercury and no-mercury vaccines may also contribute to a synergistic toxicity leading to autism.

Generation Rescue: Science: Battling Misinformation
Battling Misinformation
As you can see for yourself in our Published Studies section, there is a growing body of published science pointing incontrovertibly to several truths:
• Neurological Disorders (NDs) in children are growing at a rate well in excess of population growth and are not the result of better diagnosis or widening diagnostic criteria.
• Children with NDs exhibit much higher levels of toxicity in their bodies.
• The ingredients in vaccines are neurotoxic and are capable of creating many of the medical issues children with NDs are suffering from.
And, yet, the popular press is constantly spreading the same tired myths about autism and other NDs. Namely:
• There is no known cause and no known cure
• The link between vaccines and NDs has been disproven
• Recovered children are almost never acknowledged despite their growing numbers

Gee, this must be just coincidence. I hope some "smart people" can convince all of the parent of these children to not be vaccinated so more of them can die.
A new study of a vaccine against rotavirus infection among African newborns shows the drug is highly effective against the disease, which can cause major gastrointestinal distress and death in babies and young children.
Last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that a vaccine be given to infants to prevent severe complications from rotavirus, which can cause potentially fatal diarrhea and dehydration. Malnourished babies or those infected with the AIDS virus are most at risk. Rotavirus kills a half million children worldwide each year, 230,000 of them in six of seven African countries with high rates of rotavirus infection.
A study, commissioned by the WHO and released Wednesday that evaluates the vaccine's effectiveness, prompted the health agency to recommend the vaccine for all infants.
Researchers with PATH – a global non-profit group specializing in vaccine research – found the vaccine called Rotarix reduced severe complications among groups of children in South Africa and Malawi by an average of 60 percent.
Study senior author Kathleen Neuzil of the Seattle, Washington-based non-profit is delighted with the results.
"This is very exciting. This is not a vaccine that needs to be developed," she said. "This is a vaccine that we have now that is used in many parts of the world and, again, has the potential to save millions of lives over the next 10 years or so. And rarely do you have interventions with that kind of impact."
Two vaccines, including Rotarix, are widely available in the developed world, preventing severe complications in about 95 percent of the rotavirus cases in the developed countries.
In the South African study, 3,100 infants in South Africa were vaccinated with Rotarix. Of these, 77 percent of them experienced mild complications compared to children who did not receive the vaccine.
Researchers in Malawi enrolled 1,700 infants and the vaccine reduced the frequency of severe rotavirus complications by 50 percent.

Budget Decor: Making Crepe Paper Look Cool
Oh Happy Day
Maybe it is because Spring is in the air and the snow is starting to melt in places that have been buried for months now, but I'm ready to invite over friends and party. It might be a birthday, new job, or simply just a Tuesday, but no mater what the celebration, this inexpensive party staple just got a makeover!
Most of us remember parties from when we were younger with a few streamers of crepe paper on the walls. They might have been twisted up a time or two, but that's about as creative as things got. Over at Oh Happy Day Jordan Ferney has been busy cutting up a storm and making this old party staple into something new and quite glamorous.
By folding or rolling your crepe paper up onto itself, you can cut the edges and then crinkle them with your hands to give this full and lush, colorful boa look. Even though they're intended to be used as party decorations, we're pretty sure they'd be great just hanging in the corner of a bedroom to give a burst of color too!
The process is super simple and if you're looking to add some serious bang for your buck, this is for sure an idea to stash away when you're looking for a little fun. Check out all the details and step by step instructions over at Oh Happy Day and make sure you slip an invite to your next get together in the mail for me! I even promise to come early and help you decorate!

Just be careful to not allow crepe paper to get wet, even damp. The colors bleed, and the stains are pretty much unremovable.
Other than that, I agree, the fringed streamers have appeal -- the colors in the examples are pretty together, too -- getting two shades of a color makes everything look richer.
WAY cool!
and dont taste it. i remember licking a streamer as a child and a more foul taste does not come to mind.
I'm having a brunch this sunday! thnx a lot for the idea <3
Hey guys. Don't mean to be a bummer, but you can buy these. I use them for everything from costumes (the best cheap parrot feathers ever) to good old festive party streamers.
See an exmple here:
: )
these are a-mazing. you can't buy them that look this rad. And good heavens people, who doesn't know not to get streamers wet and not to lick them...really. I LOVE these, very inspiring!
yes, that is the first thing that comes to mind.....licking the decor. sheesh!
LOVE all her projects, and this one is no different. so delicate and sweet, and i love the color combo. beautiful work, jordan!
Pretty, reminds me of marine life.
Wow..two pictures of random streamers on a chair. I am thoroughly inspired! Thank you, Apartment Therapy!!

Tazewell, Va.--In court Friday morning, the man accused of murdering his parents at a Tazewell County restaurant.
Christopher Deen Looney decided to waive his right to the preliminary hearing.
He faces two counts of capital murder in the March 2009 slayings Harvey Looney, 52, and Valerie Looney, 48.
Christopher Looney was arrested back in February , nearly four years after the murders. His parents were killed while working at Pizza Plus in Claypool Hill.
The case will now head to the November Grand Jury. Since the crime involves family members, the proceedings are being held in Tazewell County's Juvenile and Domestic Court.
Commonwealth Attorney Dennis Lee tells WVVA, Looney could face the death penalty if convicted.

Sweet Citrus Marmalade
G2Gerry Posted: 01/11/11
Magart Posted: 03/11/11
I read the previous reviews and agreed with them. Is is labor intensive and it did not thicken. I checked some other recipes for marmalade and think the amount of sugar was incorrect. I added another cup of sugar and cooked it for about an hour and a half longer. It turned a deep gold color and gelled perfectly and tastes delicious!
KellHen Posted: 02/10/11
I feel like this was missing something as well. I found this recipe in the January 2011 edition of Southern Living. I already had all of the ingredients, and thought it looked easy enough to make and give as hostess gifts. As it turns out, I was wrong. With all the zesting and peeling, it took me nearly three hours just to prep. And then it took me another two and a half hours (not 50 min like the recipe says) to notice any difference in the consistancy of the mixture. After properly cooling and refrigerating for 24 hours, I still had a syrup. I ended up putting it back on the stove and adding 1/4 of an orange Jell-O pack in hopes that it would thicken, which it did, but now I have more of a jelly than a marmalade. It's also very, very bitter. I want to try this again with less Jell-O and less zest in hopes that I get a better result.
hclark108 Posted: 03/23/11
This recipe is perfect, it is the best marmalade I have ever tasted. I am not sure why others had problems with this recipe. My suggestions would be to use a candy thermometer to eliminate any thickening problems and make sure you don't get any of the pith (white of rind) when you zest and you will not have any bitterness. Also, make sure your fruit is delicious and you can't go wrong.

Though everyone would agree that relatively overnight success isn't simply feasible in football, the curious case of Salam Ranjan Singh surely raises eyebrows and does cause one to rethink!
Born in Kha-Potessangbam, Manipur, this 6 feet tall, 17-year-old central defender didn't take up to playing serious football almost till the age of 15. Starting out as a striker, his local coach, Shiband Sir, converted him into a central defender to make the best use of his natural abilities.
Soon he started dominating all the opposition attackers as he was imperious in defence, combining his obvious aerial abilities with brilliant positional sense. It was as recent as 2010 when Ranjan's hard tackling ability impressed Maniratnam, a coach attached with Directorate of Youth and Sports Affairs, Manipur, during an all-Manipur Inter-District Tournament.
On the coach's advice, Ranjan took the Pune FC trials held in Manipur and was shortlisted among the multitude of boys who turned up in Imphal. In Pune during the final selection round, he was as impressive as before and duly inducted into the first batch of the Peninsula Pune FC Academy.
Since then, he hasn't looked back! Being part of the team which won back to back Under-20 I-League titles, Salam Ranjan has looked very comfortable at the heart of the defence. Astoundingly the team conceded only 11 goals during the course of two seasons in the span of 18 matches.
The accolades for Salam don't end there! Not only was he included in the Maharashtra's squad for Santosh trophy 2013 but he was also selected for the India Under-19 training camp. He was even awarded as the 'Best Disciplined Under-19 Player' of the 2012-13 season. On the back of his stupendous performances for the Under-20 team, Salam has been promoted to the senior team for the 2013-14 season thus handing him the opportunity to shine on the big stage.
In spite of being a central defender, this youngster idolizes Ronaldinho and unsurprisingly loves to watch Brazil and Barcelona in action. He loves to listen to Manipuri as well as Hindi music and spends his free time by watching football or playing games on his cell phone.
Salam Ranjan, who could easily be termed as a 'smiling assassin' as whether it's an answer or a crunching tackle, it is always accompanied by a smile, knows there is absolutely no substitute to hard work and hopes to play for the Indian national team one day.

Thomasville-- RAD Kids, or Resisting Aggression Defensively is an international self-defense program for kids. Now Southwest Georgia Technical College and All Pro Safety consultants are bringing this cutting edge safety class to south Georgia for the first time.
In a world where news of child abductions and sexual predators haS become far too common, kids need to know more than the standard safety lines they've been taught. "It's more than just lecture, it's more than just telling the kids call 911. Because they can all repeat that back to us," said Rachelle Denmark, SWGTC Criminal Justice Instructor.
Kids know they should "stay safe". . .now they want to know how to do it. "I wanted to learn how to get away from bad guys if they try to hurt me," said seven-year-old Jess Eason.
"I wanted to learn how to defend myself. Because if they got me and I didn't know how to do this than we would, I wouldn't be able to get away," added six-year-old Jesse Snipes.
Even though their small, the instructors at RAD kids are teaching them methods and techniques to defend themselves "When it comes down to it, if someone gets a hold of them, a stranger or someone they don't know and it trying to touch them in a place that's uncomfortable or take them off, they know how to defend theirself and run away to safety," said Denmark.
If someone comes near them, first they yell, 'No!' "I learned how to block and that's like this," explained seven-year-old Nicholas Herndon. And five-year-old Kinsey Kelley added, "If they grab your arm you can make a hammer head and hit them in the arm."
Five-year-old Addison Kelley explained what to do if their attacker happens to be a dog, "When a dog comes up you're supposed to freeze and throw a bookbag or a jacket at them." And if tries to bite they learned to curl up in a fetal position and cover their face until the dog goes away.
Everything their learning are preventative measures. "I hope I don't have to do nothing with it," said Herndon. But if they ever have to, they'll be prepared. "If we can prevent one child from being abducted, one child from being molested, one child from being hurt, then I think we've done our job," said Denmark. Even potentially saved a life.
The program also covers what to do in case of a fire and how kids can protect themselves against bullying. Instructors hope to offer the course several times a year.

Your Review:
Zarek is the "baddest boy†hero that even the "regular†soulless bad boy Dark Hunters fear (book 4 in the series). His mortal life starts with his mother paying to have him killed as a newborn and betrayals get worse from there. His immortal life isn't much cheerier. After 900 years of harsh solitary exile in frozen Alaska, he is slated for execution with one last chance: being judged by a Justice Nymph Astrid. Sister to the Greek Fates, Astrid is herself pretty jaded and has never found an accused to be innocent. In contrast to the earlier books in the series were there are clear enemies in the modern world, Zarek's story plays out in large part in dreamscapes of his past and Astrid's fantasies. Still there is plenty of action in battle and bedroom scenes. Being the "baddest†and most misunderstood of course means he is that much more enticing for readers of the series and the virginal Astrid. Hidden truths come out explaining lapses in Zarek's memories and further the overarching series narrative between the Artemis and the first Dark Hunter, Acheron.

Jesse James Apologizes to Sandra Bullock and His Children
People: Facing allegations of infidelity, Jesse James issued an apology Thursday to his wife Sandra Bullock and his three children, taking full responsibility for their heartbreak.
Although he called "the vast majority" of allegations against him "untrue and unfounded," he says in a statement provided to PEOPLE, "There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me."
"It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way," he says in the statement. "This has caused my wife and kids pain and embarrassment beyond comprehension and I am extremely saddened to have brought this on them. I am truly very sorry for the grief I have caused them. I hope one day they can find it in their hearts to forgive me."
Read more stories moms are talking about.
My heart goes out to her. She does not deserve this. She waited so long to get married and is a great person.
Sorry b/c you got caught! Too little, too late. Embarrassment & pain, duh. What did you think, they'd get pleasure out of it too? Was it worth it? Apparently, he didn't learn from Tiger Woods. Shame on you!! You have an awesome woman who dotes on you, stands beside you, & fights your battles with you & this is how you show gratitude. Hope she leaves him in the dust. He does NOT deserve her! Why is it when a man has an awesome woman he has to mess it up.
Folks today generate their particular values inside goods, just like several little finger shoes or boots, elegant Nike shoes or boots and in addition cheap mbt shoes or boots. They will not merely help make these kinds of shoes or boots way of trend, but in addition make an effort to cause them to become problem a lot more concerning individual well being.

Amazing Images
BeetleCopter View of the Serengeti
One of my earliest posts on this blog was about BeetleCam, a remote-controlled mobile camera built by Will and Matt Burrard-Lucas to get close up to all kinds of wildlife. Their goal was to shoot photographs without disturbing the animals or putting themselves in harm's way. Their BeetleCam photographs of lions, elephants, leopards, African buffalo, and African wild dogs are startlingly beautiful.
Now BeetleCam has gone aerial: Will Burrard-Lucas has just introduced the BeetleCopter. He recently returned from the Serengeti with this beautiful aerial footage from his own custom-built camera copter.
Burrard-Lucas is a great photographer, with or without the help of BeetleCams or Copters; he's captured exceptional images of wildlife all over the globe. His aim, as he says on his website, is "to inspire people to celebrate and conserve the natural wonders of our planet." Mission accomplished.
If his work inspires you to look into getting a BeetleCam or BeetleCopter, check out Camtraptions, the company Burrard-Lucas recently launched to develop and sell remote and camera trap devices. You may not be able to travel the world as he does, but–if you're into photography–with one (or both!) of these clever devices you just might discover something new in your own neck of the woods.
Unicorn Caught by Camera Trap
First confirmed sighting in the wild in the 21st century
No, that headline isn't bait-and-switch. It's true: last week, a World Wildlife Fund camera trap in Vietnam captured an image no one expected to see: a wild saola, aka "Asian unicorn," so named because saola have long, slender horns that grow up to 52 centimeters long.
The species was first discovered in Vietnam in 1992 and has only been photographed in the wild four times since then. Like the mythic unicorn, little is known about their ecology and habits, and no one knows how many saola there are left in the wild. The last confirmed sighting by conservationists was from a camera trap in 1999, when the saola population was estimated to be about 1000. A decade later, conservationists estimated that the population had decreased to 200. Today saola are considered one of the most endangered species on the planet. Read more…
The California Condor Cam
They're back—and ready for their closeup.Unfortunately, as with many species, time and human beings have not been kind to the condor. The first recorded sighting of a California Condor in Monterey Bay occurred in 1602, by Spanish explorer Father Antonio de la Ascension. At the time, California Condors roamed large areas of the American Southwest and West Coast. By 1987, the birds were nearly extinct due to poaching, lead poisoning, and habitat destruction.
The last remaining condors in the wild—the entire population consisted of 22 individuals—were captured in 1987 and moved to zoos in San Diego and Los Angeles in an attempt to save the species through a captive breeding program. That program has been a success: since 1991, condors have been slowly released into the wild, and today there are 435 condors in existence, 237 of which live in the wild.
In mid-October, the first camera to capture live streaming video of condors in the wild was turned on in the remote hills of Big Sur. Read more…
Essential things you probably don't know much about
We're talking plankton. Yep, plankton.
Bet most of you don't know much about plankton, but you probably should, since they contribute substantially to the oxygen you breathe, among other essential planet-supporting activities. Now there's a fun, mind-expanding way to learn about these exceptionally hard-working organisms—and help scientists collect data about the effects of climate change on the world's oceans.
In mid-September, Zooniverse launched a project to crowd-source identification of plankton from photographic images captured at various locations around the globe. By identifying the numbers, sizes, and types of plankton found in these areas, scientists can analyze where and when plankton occur at different depths in the ocean; this information is a key to understanding the health of the oceans' ecosystems.
Take a Virtual Tour of the World's Coral Reefs
Photographers with new tools and technologies document reefs worldwide
In the 1960s and 70s, the TV documentary series The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau brought the magnificence of the oceans to millions of viewers. Cousteau, a French researcher, explorer, and filmmaker involved in oceanography since the 1940s, quickly became a cultural icon and a leading voice in the environmental movement.
Today, you don't have to watch a TV documentary to see the undersea landscapes Jacques Cousteau spent his life documenting: thanks to the Catlin Seaview Survey, everyone can now conduct their own virtual tours of coral reefs, right on their laptops.According to the Survey's website, 40-50% of corals have been lost over the last 50 years due to pollution, overfishing, and climate change. And this decline is likely to continue, which is a critical issue for millions of people who rely on the reefs for food, coastal protection, and tourism dollars.
The Catlin Seaview Survey, launched in September 2012 on the Great Barrier Reef, aims "to scientifically record the world's coral reefs and reveal them all in high-resolution, 360-degree panoramic vision." The image data collected by the survey will enable change to be monitored over time, enabling scientists, policymakers, and the general public to see and understand what's happening to the reefs, which may spur more action to restore and protect reefs worldwide. The images clearly show the difference between active, healthy reefs and reefs that have suffered severe decline. Read more…
Wild Again
On Kickstarter: Beautiful Photographs of Habitat Restoration
In the early 1900s, thousands of acres of Kenyan forest were cleared for the production of monoculture crops of tea and the eucalyptus used to dry it. Now some of that habitat is being restored by the Ecological Restoration Alliance, a group of botanic gardens from the US, UK, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea, China, Australia, and Jordan. Their goal is to restore 100 damaged and degraded habitats across 6 continents in 20 years. The places they're targeting include tropical forests, prairies, wild places within cities, wetlands, and coastal sites — ecosystems that are threatened and no longer able to sustain people's livelihoods or to support biodiversity.
The Alliance's approach includes restoring wild areas, protecting restored habitats, and creating socioeconomic benefits for local communities. And it's an approach that works. In just 12 years, restoration of the upland forest in Kenya has transformed a eucalyptus plantation into a thriving forest with over 150 bird species, a wide range of mammals, and hundreds of rare and endangered tree species.

The Persistence of Plastic
For Earth Day, a look at the gift that keeps on giving."Plastics." That famous line from The Graduate has stuck with us for many years—and so, for better or worse, have plastics themselves. Today, plastics are in just about everything we make and use, from cars and computers to clothing and food storage containers. And with good reason: plastics are generally inexpensive, easy to mass-produce, light, strong, durable, corrosion-resistant, with good thermal and electrical insulation properties.
Because plastics are so cheap, most of the plastic containers we use are designed for a single use. And each year we use more; according to a 2010 report from KPMG International, plastic production during the past decade equals that of the entire twentieth century. Although we don't give those single-use containers another thought once we dispose of them, we should; they are and will always be with us. Read more…

Found May 01, 2013 on Hall of Very Good:
PLAYERS: Tim Hudson, Bryce Harper
TEAMS: Atlanta Braves, Washington Nationals
TEAMS: Atlanta Braves, Washington Nationals
Tuesday night, Tim Hudson became just the third active pitcher (Andy Pettitte and Roy Halladay) to reach 200 victories. And dude did it in style. The righty scattered three hits over seven stellar innings and blasted his third career home run (you can credit Bryce Harper with the assist) while powering the Atlanta Braves to an 8-1 victory over the Washington Nationals. "It was just one of those nights where things were lined up," Hudson said following the game. "The stars were aligned, and I guess it was meant to be." "He pitched a heck of a ballgame," Washington manager Davey Johnson said. "You have to tip your hat. That's the best I've seen him use all his pitches." All-time, Hudson is the 113th pitcher with 200 wins, but that's not the most impressive feat. Of the modern-day 200-game winners, only Whitey Ford (.690), Pedro Martinez (.687), Lefty Grove (.680), Christy Mathewson (.665), Halladay (.663) and Roger Clemens (.658) have a better winning percentage than Hudson's .656. "It's a great accomplishment for anybody," Hudson said. "But honestly, I feel like it's something along the way, and I hope I can accomplish a lot more in this game. I feel like I can play for a while. I feel like I haven't missed a beat from 17 or 18 years ago. I'm just a little more crafty nowadays, and I definitely have more pop." And speaking of pop (and, yes, I know Hudson meant on the mound and not at the plate), according to the Elias Sports Bureau, Bob Lemon was the only other pitcher to hit a home run in the same game in which he notched his 200th win.

Lindley Armstrong "Spike" Jones (1911-1965) was a legendary bandleader in the thirties, forties, and fifties, and one of the first innovators of novelty music in popular culture - not, by the way, the more recent director. Spike was a master of musical comedy - not in terms of the film genre, where one gets a comedy that happens to feature singing, but in comedy created through music. Like "Weird Al" Yankovic, Spike was a parodist, and, again, like Weird Al, having your song mocked by Spike was viewed as a necessity before you could really consider yourself to have made it to musical stardom ... although their approaches were wildly different. Weird Al plays the music so straight that if you're not listening closely, you might not notice that it's a parody; whereas Spike wouldn't change the lyrics, but would take the music out back and mug it. His 1944 hit cover of "Cocktails for Two", originally a nice, sweet song about how Prohibition was over and people could have alcohol on dates again, featured gunshots, gargling, slide whistles, and enough violence done to the musical instruments that he may have violated the Geneva Convention.Technically, most of his music isn't so much parody as it is travesty (in the technical definition of the word, without the modern connotation of meanness or butchery). He would play the tune with the correct notes and the original lyrics, but in such an out-of-left-field musical style that the music itself was the joke, much like Weird Al's polkas. Parody, by contrast, involves changing the lyrics of an existing song, which is what Weird Al is most famous for. Spike Jones engaged in some parody, but it was in his travesties where his style really soared.His band, the City Slickers, were a corporate example of Hollywood Tone-Deaf. They were all, Spike included, absolute top-notch players — you had to be to pull off the scripted cacophony of his scores, mastering the split-second timing and making the proceedings funny rather than totally anarchic. Their musicianship is evident on those rare occasions when they played a passage or (even rarer) an entire number "straight."In the modern day, he is perhaps best known for performing a cover of the song Der Fuehrer's Face, featured in the Disney Wartime Cartoon of the same name, though the song was originally written by Oliver Wallace.Another famous routine is "William Tell Overture", featuring a horse race commentary by fellow comedian Doodles Weaver stacked with jokes about the horses' names and ending in a surprise win for The Alleged Steed Feetlebaum.And around Christmas, you've probably heard "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth".Spike, over his long career, did live performances, radio, a bit of film work, and appeared on TV for several years. A live performance was a sight to behold, with Spike both conducting and also handling many of the oddball percussion instruments, madly racing around the stage in his trademark loud-patterned Zoot Suit (which he continued to wear long after the Zoot had passed its 15 minutes of fashion fame).Not to be confused with Spike Jonze.
Spike Jones and his City Slickers provide examples of:

It's been almost a decade since I was pregnant, and I can't believe how much ultrasounds have changed. You see so much more detail now! It's incredible. And that goes for other kinds of imaging. Digital imaging lets us see our babies' development in amazing detail.
Alexander Tsiaras is a dad and a scientist who works with digital imaging to study fetal development. He wants you to see this gorgeous video of a fertilized cell developing into a baby. But he also wants us to know that getting such a close-up view has totally changed how he sees pregnancy. And what he's seeing has got him worried. We know that we need to eat healthy when we're pregnant. But could we actually be poisoning our babies by eating the wrong food?
Tsiaras is worried about what he calls metabolic disorders: Those symptoms like high blood pressure and type-2 diabetes that put us at risk for more serious stuff like stroke, heart disease, and kidney disease. He says we can make our babies more likely to get those metabolic disorders through own own lifestyle choices when we're pregnant.
Now I view pregnancy not as a perfectly loving mobile spa, but rather, as a fragile environment, one that must be kept healthy at all costs if a developing fetus is ever to be allowed to experience the delicate imperative of each of its genes.
In other words, if you think your eating habits only affect you during pregnancy, you're wrong. They're affecting your baby, too.
More from The Stir: 20 Pregnancy Symptoms They Don't Warn You About
I just want to say here that part of me kind of hates this kind of news -- those scolding posts that guilt moms over the foods that they eat. That said, what do we do with this information? Here's how Tsiaras puts it:
In visualizing these culprits, our research has led us to point the finger at refined nutrients -- particularly refined sugars and refined starches. These toxins -- coupled with chronic stress, chronic sleeplessness, and inactivity -- are defying all of the medical strides that we've made in the last few decades.
So -- sugar and starch are the bad guys as usual. Soda and fast food French fries. All the medical and technological advances of the past several years aren't keeping up with the damage we're doing with our lifestyles! Yikes.
But doctors have been telling us to eat healthy for ages. This idea of eating healthy for the baby isn't new. It's just becoming easier for us to SEE. Anyway, it's some food for thought while we enjoy his cool video showing the development of a baby from conception to birth.
How much did you think about what you ate while pregnant affecting your developing baby?
Image via TED
WOW! Amazing video!!
So much for it being just a blob of tissue. That is incredible seeing the nerves and beginning bone structure, as well as, the organs at about one month! And it is fascinating to realize that the baby would be 1.5 tons if it grew at that rate the entire time!! Incredible.
That video was amazing! I don't care what anyone says, that is a BABY growing from start to finish.
Here comes the Pro-Life brigade!
That was amazing...
Amazing, but incredibly creepy and honestly somewhat scary looking
I think about what I'm eating and how it affects the baby all the time. I usually eat healthy, sometimes I grab a quick bite while out and about, but not all the time. I drink maybe 1 soda a month, which was pretty typical for me since I prefer water. It seems pretty basic that you want to eat healthier while pregnant, but I'm not going to beat myself up for the occasional fry or burger.
Yep, that really is a baby you're sucking out. Who'd've thunk?

Boss gives an injury update on Ivorian, Gibson and Pienaar.
Steven Pienaar
Arouna Kone
Darron Gibson
Antolin Alcaraz
Arouna Kone is likely to be fit for the weekend trip to West Ham.
The striker missed last Saturday's win over Chelsea but is set to return against the Hammers after the bruised bone in his knee improved.
Manager Roberto Martinez told evertontv: "He [Kone] should have a very good opportunity to be involved on Saturday. He has still got a bit of bruising in his bone – he got a knock in training – but we hope over the next 48 hours he will be available to be with the side."
The Goodison chief also had positive news on Darron Gibson, with the Republic of Ireland midfielder in line to return from his own knee problem imminently.
"We need Darron fit. Darron is a special player and he brings something different to the side," said Martinez.
"He is progressing really well. I would say that from a medical point of view, he is very close to being fit. Now it's the match fitness he needs to get.
"That could take a bit of time and we need to adapt to how the knee reacts to work.
"But we are really happy to see him ready and really close to being able to be involved and be in the squad."
Martinez also hinted that Steven Pienaar's injury could clear up sooner than some reports have claimed.
The Blues boss continued: "With Stevie, we need to assess him week to week. When you get the sort of soft tissue injury he has, you never really know.
"I do feel that Stevie will react well to treatment. He is a very fit boy and I do feel that he will probably be back quicker than anyone expects."
Summer signing Antolin Alcaraz is still awaiting a Blues debut after undergoing surgery on a groin problem but his manager hopes a first taste of the action is getting ever closer.
He added: "After the surgery Antolin had in his groin, now he is still recovering.
"We need to make sure that we get him the right program and the medical department is working really well with Antolin.
"We need to help him to get through this period. We hope that he is going to be fully fit very soon."

I recently bought a Lubitel 166+, which was in my wishlist from a very long time. The Lubitel 166+ is the top of the Lomo-produced cameras, inspired by the original Lubitel 166 Universal. Since I'm trying to understand the basics of this amazing camera, I'd like to share all the things I discover about it.
I recently bought the amazing Lubitel 166+ and I simply love it. Even though the price is not so attractive, I really suggest to save up for it, because it could seriously change your shooting philosophy.
Risen from the ashes of the old project of the Lubitel 166 + Universal, the Lomographic Society took the ancient project and improved it. I was very curious about this camera, because a friend of mine lent me the original Lubitel 166+ Universal and I tried it: it was an amazing and very powerful camera. I said "powerful" because of the amazing not automatic capabilities: since it doesn't have an auto mode (like the LC-A, LC-A+ and LC-Wide), you have to set all the shooting parameters yourself and manually, before pressing the shutter.
Surely the old fashioned aspect is very attractive; I think that twins lens cameras (TLR) have all a really cool design. I particularly like the Lubitel 166+ design, because it's quite minimal.
What I'm going to speak about in this series is how to first approach to a camera which is still quite simple to use (like all Lomo cameras) but infinitely customizable, from a setting point of view. The real power if this camera is not the design, but is made by a lot of different features that only this camera has: : an amazing and very peculiar history, the philosophy which is behind the camera (and many times is not so easy to recognize it), some really cool additional accessories that you can find in the box (with the camera), the amazing and stunning all manual shooting style, technical features that you cannot find in other cameras, easiness to improve your shooting with this camera (in a very fast way), the possibility of discovering some really cool experimental techniques.
These are all the things I'm going to speak about in this series. I hope you will enjoy it…
PS: Since I will speak about a lot of things, this series will be a cross section series : there will be review articles, tipster articles, news articles, analog lifestyle articles.
Alessandro Panelli (aka yo.panic or .panic) is a Medicine and Surgery student, a photographer and a writer from Padova (Italy, near Venice).
Read more about Alessandro's work and life here or add him on Facebook or Google+.
The Lubitel 166+ is a loving recreation of the Soviet-era classic. Based on a design that dates back over 60 years, this camera is updated with new features like the ability to shoot both 120 and 35mm film. Shoot mind-blowing images with the Lubitel 166+, available in our Online Shop.

By Christian Jennings - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – The popular website facebook seems fun and harmless, but law enforcers say if you aren't careful it can attract criminals and create dangerous situations.
Because of safety concerns the networking site is launching a safety center to make members aware of dangers while surfing the net. And even Albany law enforcers have some safety tips of their own for facebook users.
It seems as though everyone has a facebook page, in fact there are 400 million users. It's a fun website especially when you are bored at home but law enforcers say you have to use caution when accepting friend requests, posting pictures, and especially posting status updates telling the world where you are and what you're doing.
The average facebook user spends at least one hour on the addicting website per day. But even when you're not online, friends, friends of friends, and even strangers could be looking at your page.
"So you really don't want to give out information like you're going to be out of town or on vacation," said Capt. Craig Dodd with the Dougherty County Sheriff's Office says posting such status updates is asking for trouble. Especially since most people are burglarized by people they know.
"You might as well put a sign up that says, here I'll be out of town, come break into my house," said Capt. Dodd.
Instead, wait to post pictures and updates when you get BACK from vacation. He also warns users to use caution when posting personal info, even birthdays. He suggests only posting your month and year, not the exact day.
"There are websites where they can find you by your cell phone number, by your name and date of birth you can find anybody you want to find on the web," said Capt. Dodd.
Because of that scary fact, the social networking giant just launched a new "safety center" full of tools for teenagers, teachers, parents, even law enforcers, who also have a special warning for women.
"Women constantly post pics of themselves at the beach in bikinis and that's a really bad idea," said Dodd.
The most helpful tool to insure safety on facebook is the privacy tab. Change your settings so only your close friends can see your info, pictures, and comments.
Last month an Indiana woman told police one of her facebook friends burglarized her home after she updated her facebook status, saying she and her fiancee would be at a concert.
