Hyundai Cars -- is it time to buy them?
I've heard both good and bad things -- their 10 year, 100k mile guarantee is worth considering, but after hearing about the recall issues [washingtonpost.com], is it really worth being a Hyundai pioneer? Especially since the Sonata and the Camry are very closely priced?

I can't lie. I've thought about writing this article for years. Years. After each futile, heartless, disappointing exit in the first round of the playoffs, I was so ready to write this article that I couldn't sleep. This year was no different. This year I wanted it just as bad as I have for the last several years. And yet, here it is, less than a week since Karl was let go, and I'm not sure I even want to write it anymore.
If you're a chocolate enthusiast you've probably experienced the irritating stains the delectable dainty can often leave behind. I'm sure most people have one or two white shirts in the wardrobe with subtle traces of the brown substance imprinted onto the fabric, which refuse to vanish no matter how many times they've been washed. In the NBA, general managers come and go, but their errors often linger even when they are long gone. Thus the pressure on a GM is excruciating, as one careless decision can set a team back for years to come, and even if they end up losing their job, a stain of their tenure often remains as a constant reminder of their regime. (more…)
After missing all of the warm up games heading into the qualification round of EuroBasket 2013 Danilo Gallinari played in Italy's opening contest against Portugal. Gallo compiled ten points and nine rebounds in only 15 minutes as part of Italy's 97-45 victory.
It is very promising to see Gallinari back on the court and performing effectively. The Rooster has only appeared in 63% of the regular season games the Nuggets have played since arriving as part of the Carmelo Anthony trade in 2011 (57 performances over 90 contests).
In Roundball Mining Company's first Big Board of the year we covered six prospects likely to be available with the 20th pick in the Draft. The second installment of this series will explore more higher-rated prospects who shouldn't, but may fall to the Nuggets first-round selection on Draft night. This is the Denver Nuggets Big Board: Outliers edition.
Heading into the 2011-12 season the Denver Nuggets were a mystery waiting to be solved. After coming off the most chaotic seven months in franchise history the team made monumental strides in the offseason to remain competitive even after parting ways with Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups. In addition, the NBA lockout saw key contributors Wilson Chandler, Kenyon Martina and J.R. Smith all vanish to the opposite side of the world until midseason, leaving even more questions marks about who would be with the team moving forward. But as the season progressed, piece by piece Nuggets fans collected clues about the identity and subsequent standards the team would possess, which ended up being very similar to years past.
In Roundball Mining Company's first postseason reflection piece we'll be taking a look at the evolution of the Denver Nuggets over the last year and examine what we've learned about the team throughout the process. Though the Nuggets have laid the foundation for the future through savvy front-office dealings there's still quite a bit of uncertainty surrounding the roster. Therefore, our most recent 3-on-3 aims to analyze certain aspects of the present, past and future. As always, feel free to hand out your answers to these questions in the comments section below.
|Kenneth Faried, F 30 MIN | 5-8 FG | 1-2 FT | 10 REB | 0 AST | 11 PTS | +19
Faried wasn't overwhelmingly impressive but like always, his energy made a difference. His defense is slowly coming along as well. Now if he could just set more solid screens…
|Danilo Gallinari, SF 35 MIN | 6-12 FG | 2-2 FT | 7 REB | 2 AST | 17 PTS | +26
It seemed the Nuggets made a point of getting Gallinari involved early and often. He had numerous isolation plays in the first quarter and didn't hesitate to pull the trigger on his shot. This was the type of game he needed to get back on track. Now that he's got one under his belt it's time for him to step up more in the last two games of the season in order to prepare himself properly for the playoffs.
|Kosta Koufos, C 15 MIN | 4-5 FG | 0-0 FT | 5 REB | 1 AST | 8 PTS | +14
Koufos continues to improve. His hands will always be partially made of stone and his movement around the rim never be the quickest, but he's showing strides in his game that Mozgov simply wasn't. He showed off a few hook shots on Sunday that were really pretty and was efficient in only 15 minutes of time. If he can keep providing this type of production in limited minutes the Nuggets will be in good shape with their center depth.
|Arron Afflalo, SG 37 MIN | 7-10 FG | 1-1 FT | 3 REB | 3 AST | 15 PTS | +19
Once again Afflalo logged the most minutes of any Nugget and quietly dropped 15 points in the process. His game is so professional and sound. He rarely takes a bad shot and lets everything come to him. Nothing is forced. He only missed one 2-point shot the entire night.
|Ty Lawson, PG 34 MIN | 5-10 FG | 2-2 FT | 5 REB | 10 AST | 13 PTS | +23
It was nice to see Lawson get aggressive, if only for a few plays. There are times (usually when coming off a big performance in the previous game) that Lawson has a tendency to take a back seat in a major way. He was heading that direction before kicking it into gear in the second quarter. He took advantage of open lanes and gave the Nuggets a dimension to their offense they desperately needed: speed.
|Andre Miller, PG 25 MIN | 3-10 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 11 AST | 6 PTS | -1
This was one of Miller's best games in while. It doesn't matter that he only scored six points on 3-10 shooting from the field; what matters is that he was engaged with his teammates, talking and dishing out some excellent assists, mostly to JaVale McGee who he's developing some great chemistry with. The Nuggets are at their best when Miller is distributing first and scoring second, which is what he did on Sunday.
|Corey Brewer, SF 25 MIN | 3-7 FG | 1-1 FT | 3 REB | 3 AST | 8 PTS | +14
Brewer won't wow you with his stat line but his energy was certainly palpable. He still took too many outside shots, and in the playoffs that might cost the Nuggets, but against the Howard-less Magic, it can be overlooked. As long as he keeps getting out on the break and playing good defense a few bad shots can be tolerated.
|Timofey Mozgov, C 9 MIN | 1-2 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 2 PTS | -2
Mozgov is tough to grade. He didn't do much offensively — in fact, he was pretty awful — but he did play solid defense when called upon. For that he deserves credit.
|JaVale McGee, C 24 MIN | 8-11 FG | 1-3 FT | 8 REB | 0 AST | 17 PTS | +7
Story of the game. One of the best performances I've seen from a Nugget big man in a really, really long time. Nene was able to put up impressive numbers from time to time but there was always one key aspect missing from his game: He never actually played like a big. On Sunday, McGee played like a big man is supposed to play. He took his fair share of isolation shots, showed a variety of different moves and most importantly, finished around the rim with authority and power. That's what a true big man does, and when it's done properly, it's a thing of beauty. This was without question McGee's best performance in a Nuggets uniform and one of the more encouraging performances we've seen from any Nugget this season. As I tweeted during the game, it was pure, unfiltered, sexy athleticism. Chocolate Thunder would be proud.
|Julyan Stone, G 2 MIN | 0-0 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 1 AST | 0 PTS | +8
Stone showed a desire to set up plays instead of run recklessly, and for that I salute him.
|Jordan Hamilton, G 2 MIN | 2-3 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 1 AST | 4 PTS | +8
Hamilton was pretty productive in two minutes time. Should Harrington not be able to go in the next several games, he might be called upon again.
One of the more delightful aspects of being a Nuggets fan these days is knowing how competent the team's front office is. Masai Ujiri and Josh Kroenke have proven to be a dynamic duo that isn't afraid to make a bold move when necessary. Through his first year and a half as the Nuggets Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations, it was as if everything Ujiri touched turned to gold. But in his most recent transaction, sending long-tenured veteran Nene to Washington in exchange for the young, enigmatic JaVale McGee, he might very well have put the first blemish on his otherwise near-perfect track record.
In Roundball Mining Company's latest edition of our 3-on-3 series, we examine what lies ahead for the Denver Nuggets in the near future. There are 13 games remaining on the schedule: seven on the road and seven against teams currently at or below the .500 mark. Right now the Nuggets sit in seventh place in the Western Conference standings and would face the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the Playoffs. Is this the same position the team will find itself in roughly three weeks from now? If so, would it be able to handle a well-coached Spurs team in a seven-game series? These questions and more are detailed inside.
Closure can be a wonderful thing.
One of the stranger free agent pursuits in recent history has finally come to an end. As first reported by the Denver Post, restricted free agent Wilson Chandler agreed to a five year contract with the Nuggets worth $37 million.
There's no doubt this is a big win for Wilson, who missed out on true free agency by signing to play in China during last summer's NBA lockout. Wilson's only option in terms of rejoining the league this year was to sign with Denver.
Chandler's deal averages $7.4 million a year and is nearly identical to the base value of Arron Afflalo's new contract. Afflalo's deal contains incentives that could bump the value up to $43 million over five years.
My initial view is that this is fair deal, but an incredibly generous offer to make to someone in Wilson Chandler's position. There's no doubt shedding Nene's $13.5 million annual salary and the amount given to Arron Afflalo in restricted free agency were key factors in the long, drawn out negotiations that finally culminated in today's deal.
More reaction and analysis to the Chandler signing will be coming soon, but I personally believe this a solid move for Denver and something they needed to get done. To put it in perspective, both Chandler and Gallo's new contracts add up to roughly the max salary figure Carmelo Anthony makes over the life of his extension, which was reportedly being offered to him by the Nuggets brass (although I seriously doubt it after watching Masai and Josh run things the way they have over the past year and a half).
Chandler is one of the more unique threes in the league, who excels on the wing offensively but is probably best suited to defending the post, where he has the strength to match up on taller players and the defensive instincts to provide much needed weak side help. Chandler should be in great shape having played ball virtually all summer long and I wouldn't be surprised if he immediately picks up starters minutes.
In order to wrap my head around the trade that sent longtime Denver Nugget Maybyner "Nene" Hilario to the Washington Wizards I had to compartmentalize my thoughts and feelings into several different categories. I will go through them one at a time in order to attempt to break down a trade that took everyone by surprise.
|Kenneth Faried, F 20 MIN | 3-8 FG | 2-2 FT | 9 REB | 2 AST | 8 PTS | -7
There wasn't much to write home about in a game like this, but Faried was clearly a bright spot. Great energy, great hustle, and nonstop aggression on both ends of the court. The fact he saw the fewest minutes of all starters is a travesty. With Nene out of the picture, George Karl has to come around to him eventually for the Nuggets to have a chance at success.
|Danilo Gallinari, SF 32 MIN | 6-12 FG | 0-0 FT | 3 REB | 1 AST | 15 PTS | -5
32 minutes is a great sign. Physically, Gallo looked much better than he did in his first few games back from injury. It's tough to complain about this performance, but I do think 7 three pointers and no free throw attempts is a bit too unbalanced. Gallo is ready to be more aggressive with his offense and the Nuggets need him to take on a larger role.
|Timofey Mozgov, C 12 MIN | 1-4 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 1 AST | 2 PTS | -11
Tough to watch. Seriously brutal. Way too many minutes. Needs to pick it up soon. Running out of short sentences here. At some point he has to learn how to not body check his man every time he's defending the ball.
|Arron Afflalo, SG 30 MIN | 4-11 FG | 2-3 FT | 2 REB | 3 AST | 10 PTS | -1
A really poor shooting performance, but I saw him giving significantly better effort than most of his teammates on both ends. Afflalo is at his best when he's moving with out the ball, cutting to the basket and shooting off screens. There was no off-ball movement for Denver tonight and just looking at the box score doesn't tell you how hard he was playing.
|Ty Lawson, PG 36 MIN | 4-9 FG | 1-2 FT | 8 REB | 5 AST | 9 PTS | -8
Lawson started slow and was never able to get himself going. He's always been bothered by the Thunder's interior defense which is part of the reason OKC is such a a terrible matchup for the Nuggets. Let's hope JaVale McGee can run a pick and roll because Ty could use an occasional screen and some kind of effort by a big man to help him create.
|Al Harrington, PF 26 MIN | 1-8 FG | 3-4 FT | 8 REB | 1 AST | 5 PTS | -15
Harrington's worst shooting game of the year, and another instance in which the Thunder just badly exposed the Nuggets for playing him so much. He was either stuck on Kevin Durant, Nick Collison or Serge Ibaka, none of whom he has any chance of guarding. Al also got hurt in the fourth quarter and I feel bad for him, but he played a brutally bad game.
|Andre Miller, PG 24 MIN | 7-9 FG | 3-4 FT | 3 REB | 3 AST | 17 PTS | -14
Probably Andre Miller's second best game of the season, and it comes with 4 turnovers and a -14 in 24 minutes. This kind of outcome when Andre Miller has a good game isn't all that unusual, and that kind of tells you the whole story when it comes 2012 season and Andre Miller.
|Chris Andersen, C 15 MIN | 1-3 FG | 3-4 FT | 5 REB | 0 AST | 5 PTS | +1
Birdman did his job. He provided energy off the bench and outside of Faried, was the best Nuggets big on the floor.He took several shots you did not want him taking, but Denver just had way bigger problems than Bird in this one.
|Corey Brewer, SF 10 MIN | 2-4 FG | 2-4 FT | 0 REB | 1 AST | 6 PTS | -5
10 minutes, 3 fouls, and not a whole lot else. Brewer can be so wildly up and down each possession which makes it very difficult to evaluate him. With Rudy returning to the lineup, it seems like Brew is getting lost in the shuffle a little bit.
|Rudy Fernandez, SG 18 MIN | 2-6 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 2 AST | 5 PTS | -9
Took some really questionable shots, made some really questionable passes, played some really questionable defense. On the other hand, Rudy did provide a nice spark off the bench in the first half. Can his presence have a consistently positive impact over an entire game though? That's questionable.
|Kosta Koufos, C 16 MIN | 2-3 FG | 1-2 FT | 3 REB | 2 AST | 5 PTS | -1
It's good to see Koufos healthy and back in the lineup. He made some nice hustle plays and also appeared to have a bit of rust on his game thanks to his extended absence from the rotation.
|Julyan Stone, G 1 MIN | 0-0 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 0 AST | 0 PTS | +5
Got some good news that he won't be waived to make room for Chandler. It looks like Rony Turiaf will be bought out of his deal to free up a roster spot for Wilson Chandler.
|Jordan Hamilton, G 1 MIN | 1-1 FG | 0-0 FT | 0 REB | 0 AST | 3 PTS | +5
Garbage time hero.
In a shocking trade deadline move the Denver Nuggets have agreed to trade Nene for Wizard's center JaVale McGee. Nene has been struggling this season and his contract is bound to get onerous as he gets into his 30's and McGee is a uber-athletic center who will be great running the floor and is a much better rebounder and shot blocker than Nene.
In the long run it probably is a decent trade for Denver, McGee is entering his prime while Nene is exiting his, but McGee has shown significant shortcomings on both ends of the floor. Plus he wants a contract averaging $14 million a year after this season.
|Kenneth Faried, F 25 MIN | 3-6 FG | 2-4 FT | 9 REB | 1 AST | 8 PTS | -10
His numbers were solid and the foul trouble was kept at a minimum. However, you got a dstinct sense Faried was trying to avoid whistles as he was occasionally exposed against Josh Smith and the Hawks' many perimeter scoring threats. Faried did do a great job running the floor and going after rebounds like he always does. You'd like to see him work on a shot that isn't a dunk, but his pure hustle makes it easy to overlook a lot of the rookie-type flaws in his game.
|Danilo Gallinari, SF 37 MIN | 6-13 FG | 6-7 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 19 PTS | +4
Hands down, that was one of the craziest game winners I've seen. Gallo is getting to the rim like he used to but the elevation and finishing ability just don't look right. Karl finally realized Brewer does not need to be starting even with a half-functional Gallinari available, and Gallo responded with his usual "starter" numbers. Defensively Gallo was better than the rest of the Nuggets so it's easy to crown him as the undisputed hero of tonight's game.
|Nene, C 39 MIN | 8-16 FG | 6-6 FT | 6 REB | 5 AST | 22 PTS | -3
This is a really tough grade to give, because Nene made the game winning free throws and after Josh Smith fouled out, he was far and away the best big on the floor. Unfortunately I cant overlook the fact Nene played soft against Smith, who flat out embarrassed him. The only thing worse than his late game defense was watching Nene settle for jumpers nine times out of ten against Zaza Pachulia. It was one of Nene's best games of the year, but I'm left with a sour taste in my mouth trying to evaluate his overall night. That just… wasn't good.
|Arron Afflalo, SG 35 MIN | 3-10 FG | 0-0 FT | 4 REB | 3 AST | 7 PTS | -3
The leadership isn't there. If the Denver Nuggets are going to fix their perimeter defense, it starts with Arron Afflalo. He is the only one capable of setting a good example. There are games where he's clearly more concerned with getting his offense going rather than holding himself and his teammates accountable on defense. I could care less how many shots he takes — the Nuggets need more out of him from a leadership standpoint, because right now nobody cares about guarding the perimeter.
|Ty Lawson, PG 35 MIN | 8-11 FG | 1-2 FT | 6 REB | 7 AST | 21 PTS | 0
Lawson's early offense carried the Nuggets to a big lead, but his aggression seemed to be missing for a good part of the game. There's no way you can complain about Lawson's production, but he's capable of a lot more. Lawson deferred to Andre Miller and Al Harrington way too much in the fourth quarter, and whether that's a coaching decision or Ty's refusal to demand the ball remains unknown.
|Al Harrington, PF 30 MIN | 8-12 FG | 3-4 FT | 8 REB | 2 AST | 19 PTS | +15
Al Buckets was once again the steadiest player on the court for the Denver Nuggets. You know exactly what you're getting out of Harrington and his production rarely wavers enough to call him out. The story of the game was the fact he was perhaps the most important Nuggets player in terms of containing Josh Smith, for nothing more than the simple fact Harrington forced Smith to play defense. Smith would later foul out of the game in OT.
|Andre Miller, PG 21 MIN | 2-3 FG | 1-1 FT | 0 REB | 8 AST | 5 PTS | -3
My feelings on Miller are well-known, and it needs to be said right away Dre played his best individual game in weeks. He played probably about as well as he can play and was not in the game during the worst stretches, during which Denver really fell apart. The simple assessment I reach time and time again is only further affirmed by every game I see. When he comes into the game, Denver goes from a middling defensive team with potential to a terrible defensive team with no hope.
|Corey Brewer, SF 18 MIN | 5-9 FG | 2-2 FT | 2 REB | 1 AST | 12 PTS | +3
Brewer thrived in a much more appropriate bench role. His production remained constant while his efficiency improved. It pretty much validates the fact Brewer is better suited to coming off the bench. The major problem I had with Brewer was his reach-in foul on Kirk Hinrich late in regulation. He just can't seem to wrap his head around the fact you don't need to go for a steal or deflection every single time you attempt to defend the ball.
|Rudy Fernandez, SG 16 MIN | 2-5 FG | 0-0 FT | 4 REB | 3 AST | 5 PTS | +2
Not much was expected out of Rudy after missing the last 11 games, but he was a surprisingly effective spark off the bench in the first half. His minutes were carefully monitored and he was only used for short stretches, but Rudy had a net positive impact during his time on the floor.
|Timofey Mozgov, C 9 MIN | 0-2 FG | 0-0 FT | 1 REB | 0 AST | 0 PTS | 0
Awful. Really tough to watch, and judging by Mozgov's reaction to coming out of the game, he seemed to know it. The good news is he barely played and the Hawks fortunately weren't capitalizing on Denver turnovers in the first half.

Say what you want about Miley Cyrus, but "Wrecking Ball" is unfuckwittable. (Real world example: I was just at a holiday party in Brooklyn's hipster hotbed of Williamsburg, and even there the only song that stopped every conversation in its tracks and made everyone sing was "Wrecking Ball.") The latest act to cover the smash is London Grammar, the buzzy British band fronted by powerhouse Florence-in-training Hannah Reid.
The trio stopped by BBC's Live Lounge for the cover, where they took the "power" out of "power ballad" by amplifying the original's already engulfing emptiness and adding some spare guitar plucks reminiscent of The xx. Check out the minimalist take up top.

Low-Carbohydrate Pancakes
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Yields: 2 Servings
The big diet trend is low-carbohydrate foods. Programs such as Atkins or Sugar Busters recommend flourless foods. You can have some of your favorite foods in low-carbohydrate form by substituting flour with wheat gluten. Wheat gluten is the natural protein derived from wheat. It is basically wheat flour with the starch removed. So, the next time you have a craving for pancakes, mix up a batch of these wonderful, fluffy pancakes and don't give a second thought to breaking your diet rules.
In a mixing bowl, place wheat gluten, baking powder and sweetener. Whisk in heavy cream, stirring constantly. Add water, olive oil and eggs and blend well. Batter will be thin. Place a flat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Coat griddle with vegetable spray. Pour desired amount of batter on the griddle and cook for 2 minutes or until dry bubbles begin to form around the edges of the pancake and the bottom is browned. Turn and cook for 1–2 additional minutes. Makes 6–8 silver dollar-sized pancakes and 4 medium sized pancakes. Serve with sugar-free syrup and fresh fruit.

Summary: In this unprecedented work of history, now in paperback, one of America's leading Civil War historians draws from nineteenth-century newspapers, letter, & soldiers' diaries to recreate the experiences of African-American troops in the Civil War. The authors richly textured narrative immerses us, battle by battle, in stories of the more than 175,000 black soldiers whose contributions have long been ignored or forgotten. More than a military history, Like Men of War is the stirring saga of people whose answer to slavery was a fierce determination to claim their full rights as citizens by force of arms.

A burly binder for small rippers and bigger, budding experts.
- Angled lateral arms provide better power transmission for expert and beyond skiers
- More forward pressure means better rebound and responsiveness to provide an increased amount of control for skiers who can handle it
- The wide architecture and 100mm wide brake fits modern mid-fat skis

do these work with rergular adult ski boots?
Joe Hoffman
Member since
The lugs on most adult boots will fit kids Rossignol bindings.... however this is not recommended. Depending on your weight and ability, the DIN setting that you require may be greater than this bindings maximum of 10. Further, they are not designed for the torque and leverage exerted by a larger sized boot. I used to play in kids skis (with rossi bindings) when working at a ski school, and while it was fun, the bindings would release prematurely, and there is the risk of pulling the weaker hardware out of the ski.
Joe Hoffman
Member since
Here is a good pair of adult bindings at the same price. The DIN maxes out at 10 on theses as well, so keep that it mind, but otherwise a good buy.
Lexi Dowdall
Member since
Joe is absolutely right here.
It's not worth wrecking your knees!!

Needed some skis with 100mm brakes for my daughter's powder skis last year. These bindings are DIN-10 bindings, and therefore are heavier than most kids bindings. She's 10 years old, a good skier but put her complaining skills to maximum effect.
I'm wondering if the 100mm brake is too...
Member since
I'm wondering if the 100mm brake is too wide for 80mm skis? Is there such a thing as too wide? I was also looking at bindings with 85 mm wide brakes.
Jamie Preston
Member since
Yes, a brake can be too wide because when the ski is tipped on edge, it will drag in the snow - causing either a minor nuisance, or sending you flying depending on conditions and width. An 80 or 85 mm is the best choice for the 80 mm waist. The closer the better. Keep in mind, manufacturers generally make at least 3 different sizes and they are interchangeable within the brand (or line - for instance, Marker brakes for the Royal family line will work on the Duke, Jester, Griffon etc...). So, if you move this binding to a wider ski, you will be able to update the brake.

Hang on, this film was supposed to be awful! I like the original Three Stooges, maybe not as much as the Marx brothers but I truly believe they were artists and that slap-stick is a true art. Their timing was second to none. Ok, so I've given it 2 and a half stars, mainly because... read more

Moe, Larry and Curly try to raise money to save an orphanage, and Moe ends up in the cast of "Jersey Shore." Predictable plot, but the impersonations of the original Stooges are spot-on, and the violent slapstick routines are authentic too; not a terrible choice for a time-waster.

If you want to watch three episodes of The Three Stooges... then just watch three episodes of the original three stooges... There's no reason for this film to exist.

The End of Nature
Bill McKibben
Reissued on the tenth anniversary of its publication, this classic work on our environmental crisis features a new introduction by the author, reviewing both the progress and ground lost in the fight to save the earth.This impassioned plea for radical and life-renewing change is today still considered a groundbreaking work in environmental studies. McKibben's argument that the survival of the globe is dependent on a fundamental, philosophical shift in the way we relate to nature is more relevant than ever.
McKibben writes of our earth's environmental cataclysm, addressing such core issues as the greenhouse effect, acid rain, and the depletion of the ozone layer. His new introduction addresses some of the latest environmental issues that have risen during the 1990s. The book also includes an invaluable new appendix of facts and figures that surveys the progress of the environmental movement.
More than simply a handbook for survival or a doomsday catalog of scientific prediction, this classic, soulful lament on Nature is required reading for nature enthusiasts, activists, and concerned citizens alike.

Zuoan Fashion Ltd. Stock Upgraded (ZA)
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- ZA's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.11 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 4.64, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
- 41.84% is the gross profit margin for ZUOAN FASHION LTD -ADR which we consider to be strong. Regardless of ZA's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 6.11% trails the industry average.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, ZUOAN FASHION LTD -ADR has underperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has exceeded that of the S&P 500.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Textiles, Apparel & Luxury Goods industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 74.5% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $14.99 million to $3.82 million.

'Gotham' Recap: 'Selina Kyle'
We want to understand how justice becomes the single most important virtue for a person. We're waiting for you to make it work, Gotham.
We want to understand how justice becomes the single most important virtue for a person. We're waiting for you to make it work, Gotham.
Teenage mystery, high school drama, and Batman. There's a lot to love about 'Gotham Academy', including the history and depth that it brings to DC's New 52.
Last week, Agents of SHIELD came back strong, but can it keep up the pace, the energy, and the quality in the second episode of season two?
Shing Yin Khor is a cartoonist whose work is deserving of wider recognition in the comic book industry.
Some licensed DC Comics apparel has caused a commotion with sexist slogans like "Training to be Batman's wife." We explain the problem and how it happens.
In case you haven't noticed from the fact that all your Twitter friends have changed their display names to delightfully sub-Cryptkeeper puns, it is finally October! And that, my fiends, means that it's finally time for some spoooooky announcements about upcoming projects, and Dark Horse is getting the jump on everyone else by touting a brand-new comic that won't be out until 2015.
There's a reason they're announcing it now, though: It's a brand new comic about Frankenstein's Monster written by Mike Mignola, and that's kind of a big deal. Along with artist Ben Stenbeck, who worked with Mignola previously on Baltimore, the series will be called Frankenstein Underground, and will be set in the same universe as Hellboy and BPRD.
You would think that by October, the end of Convention Season as we know it, publishers like IDW would be running out of exclusive covers and new titles to debut at cons. But you would be wrong. The dogged determination of the people who make comics should never be underestimated, and when they set up at Booth #1844 next weekend at New York Comic Con, IDW is going to have plenty to offer.
The trailer premiere for the animated movie 'Justice League: Throne of Atlantis' has emerged, and with it comes our first look at the sequel to DC's 'Justice League: War.' Hey, it's no 'Batman vs. Superman' or the live-action 'Justice League' trailer, but Warner Bros. animation is certainly nothing to scoff at.
A great comic book cover is an advertisement, a work of art, a statement, and an invitation. A great comic book cover is a glimpse of another world through a canvas no bigger than a window pane. In Best Comic Book Covers Ever (This Month), we look back over some of the most eye-catching, original and exceptional covers of the past month.
September's covers include masterclass composition from Genndy Tarkakovsky and Noelle Stevenson, some beautiful uses of light, color, and contrast, and some very different portraits of gods, old and new.
Oh, Gotham. You're a show about the city that created Batman. The city that raised Poison Ivy, Catwoman, and the Penguin. With so much about these characters' behavioral profiles already established by DC Comics, don't you have at least a basic responsibility to teach us something about the development, manifestation and course of psychopathology? We're watching because we want to know what led these characters down such crooked paths, and how Bruce Wayne rose out of his trauma to create the formidable crime-fighter we know as the Dark Knight. We already know the future's end, so tell us something worthwhile about the beginnings. It's the least you can do.
Koyama Press announced its spring 2015 lineup of graphic novels this week, and the books coming down the pipeline range from personal, diary-format comics to a weird, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pastiche. There's also a surreal deconstruction of superheroes and an effusive celebration of color. Creators include Dustin Harbin, A. Degen, Alex Schubert and Ginette Lapalme.
Gotham Academy is exactly the comic book I want to read.
That probably doesn't come as a surprise to anyone who's been reading ComicsAlliance for any significant amount of time. I mean, if you made a list of the things I like seeing in my comics, then Batman, teenage mystery solvers, and high school drama set in a superhero universe are all things that are going to land pretty close to the top of the list, and those three elements form the exact core of Gotham Academy's premise. It's so perfectly designed to fit my very specific tastes that you'd actually have to work hard to combine them into something that I wouldn't like.
Because of that, it might be tempting to write off anything nice I have to say about the book, but trust me: this first issue of Gotham Academy is great, not just because it's got a bunch of stuff I want to see, but because Becky Cloonan, Brenden Fletcher, Karl Kerschl, Geyser, and Dave McCaig, have produced one of the most solid starts of the year.
Amy Reeder, artist of Rocket Girl from Image, announced on her blog this week that she'd been asked by the organizers of New York Comic-Con to design some posters letting people know that harassment simply won't be tolerated.
The result is some really neatly designed imagery that will hopefully grab people's attention and help them understand that cosplayers should always be treated with respect and consideration.
Last week, Agents of SHIELD came back strong, and not, "oh, it's better than it was" strong, but "oh, it might actually be good" strong, with the new ragtag outsider premise making for much more interesting dynamic -- and the use of the Absorbing Man pushing all the right nerd buttons.
This week's episode, 'Heavy Is The Head', directed by Jesse Bochco and written by Paul Zbyszewski, picks up where last week's ended -- but can it keep up the pace, the energy, and the quality? Has Agents of SHIELD ever had two good episodes in a row? Could this be that blessed day? Find out, thanks to our ComicsAlliance-exclusive S.H.L.E.I.D. recap system.
Each weekday, ComicsAlliance brings you a carefully selected variety of links from around the web about comics and comics-related media, including movies, video games, toys, and whatever else might be worth noting. Quite frankly, these are items you may just need to know about to have a productive day. Take a look at today's hand-picked links after the jump.

KSP Post 2 Investigating Death of Greenville Couple
Date of News Release: 03/07/2013
Greenville, KY. (Muhlenberg County) – The Kentucky State Police is currently investigating the death of a Greenville couple.
On Thursday, March 07, 2013, at approximately 9:10 a.m., the KSP Post 2 Madisonville was contacted by the Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Department in reference to a shooting at a residence located at 4715 State Route 853, Greenville.
Upon arrival, officers discovered that Armilda D. Green, 61 of Greenville, KY, and her husband, Everett T. Green, 62, were deceased inside their residence. The preliminary investigation revealed that each victim appeared to have suffered from a single gunshot. At the present time, it appears that Mr. Green shot his wife and then turned the gun on himself. The Muhlenberg County Coroner, Tony Armour, pronounced the victims dead at the scene.
An autopsy is scheduled for tomorrow morning, March 8, at the State Medical Examiner's Office in Madisonville.
The investigation is continuing by KSP Detective Lonnie Kavanaugh. The Muhlenberg County Sheriff's Department and the Muhlenberg County Coroner's Office assisted at the scene.

Bonce is fairly new, but it immediately stood out. Located out of town, it is extremely clean and so modern, the staff are friendly and the overall feel of the place is really good. The prices are competitive and the quality is good. Overall a nice experience. I believe they have just opened a shop in Walsall too, opposite Toni&Guy of all places! Definitely worth a trip.

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — The Coast Guard and state agencies are working to remove two failing ships in Tacoma.
The 167-foot Helena Star sank Friday at a marina, leaving its stern sticking out of the water and its mast leaning on the 130-foot Golden West, causing that vessel to list.
Coast Guard Petty Officer Nathan Bradshaw says residual fuel from the Helen Star is contained in an oil boom. Both ships had fuel removed last year.
The Coast Guard and state agencies are trying to identify owners who would be responsible for cleanup and salvage costs.
Melissa Ferris with the Department of Natural Resources Derelict Vessel Removal Program says an owner of the Golden West has been identified, but investigators are still looking a paperwork trying to identify an owner of the Helena Star.

With England in a good place and young players clamouring for his spot, it is as good a time as any for Colly to step down. Him being able to concentrate on limited overs cricket, which has always been his forte, would help the team and himself.
Every 5 years we have an election and have to decide who are the least obnoxious out of all the men. Then one gets in and they age really quickly. Which is always fun to watch.
To be fair Colly's only acknowledging the truth of the situation; it could well be his last test.
He does have a habit of producing knocks when his worth's being questioned tho.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."
- Barney Ronay on Mario Balotelli

Galle, the CB series, his century at Edgbaston against the Saffies when he was in the last chance saloon, Cardiff, Centurion and Cape Town will never be forgotten.
In terms of overall fielding always thought he was a rung below ABDV, Ponting and Symonds but second only to Rhodes in my time taking spectacular catches.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Minnesota Lynx appeared headed for an easy afternoon before Chicago got off to a fast start in the second half to make it close. However, the defending champions then pulled away again.
Lindsay Whalen scored 25 points, Taj McWilliams-Franklin added 12, and Seimone Augustus and Maya Moore had 10 each to lead the Lynx to a 79-67 victory over the Sky on Saturday.
All of Augustus's points came in the second half as Minnesota (12-1) won its second straight after it's only loss of the season last Sunday.
Down by 17 points at halftime, Chicago (7-3) scored the first 12 points of the third quarter to pull to 51-46. Moore scored Minnesota's first points of the second half more than 7 minutes into the frame and added a 3-pointer the next time down the floor. Augustus made a 3-pointer to give the Lynx a 62-51 lead.
"I felt like we were still getting pretty good shots," Whalen said. "We just needed one to go in and then after that we got a couple fast breaks and were able to make plays out of that. Somebody just had to step up and make that first shot."
Augustus finished off a 2-on-1 with Whalen for an easy basket before a spin move and layup by Whalen gave the Lynx a 66-52 lead early in the fourth quarter. The Sky didn't get closer than 10 points the rest of the way.
Sylvia Fowles had her ninth double-double in 10 games for Chicago, with 22 points and 13 rebounds. Sonja Petrovic added 13 points and Swin Cash 11 for the Sky, who committed 24 turnovers and lost its second straight to fall to second place in the Eastern Conference.
"You give Minnesota credit," Cash said. "They did some good things out there, but a lot of it is what we can control. ... We have to go out there and really lock in and focus on not being so turnover prone."
Chicago played its first game without leading scorer Epiphanny Prince. The guard, who was averaging 22.3 points per game, is expected to miss 6 to 8 weeks with a broken bone in her right foot, which she injured last Saturday.
"Piph made it easier for us because she was knocking down shots from the outside, so it made a threat from the inside presence to the outside," Fowles said. "Everybody's just got to step up. Things happen like that. ... You still have to step up and play your game."
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said it was Whalen's best all-around game of the season.
"My mindset going into this game was I needed Lindsay Whalen to be good off the pick and roll and get some easy stuff. ... She got the game ball today."
Whalen scored five points in a 14-4 run to give the Lynx a 23-8 first quarter lead. She scored seven straight points late in the first half for a 48-34 lead.
"We know anybody can step up on this team. When we play as a team really good things happen," Whalen said. "I just wanted to be aggressive."
Both teams wore commemorative uniforms to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Title IX, the federal law that pushed forward sports participation for women and girls.

Installing the latest Ubuntu Linux: Ubuntu 11.10
Summary: The latest version of the most popular desktop Linux of them all is ready to go. Here's how your installation should go.
3 of 11Image
Next, you need to decide if you want to include proprietary software, such as Adobe Flash, in your Ubuntu desktop. If you're a free software purist, you're going to say no to this option. I'm more of a pragmatist so I'm chose both to install it. In addition, at this point you need to choose if you want to download upgrades as you're installing your new copy of Ubuntu. I usually choose yes, but if you have a slow Internet connection, you can skip this.
After this, you need to decide what you're going to do with your hard drive. On a standalone PC you can either use your entire system or choose to have it dual-boot with Windows or some other operating system. In my experience, Ubuntu can live quite comfortably on the same PC as Windows XP, Windows 7, or any other version of Linux.
Since I'm installing Ubuntu on a VirtualBox virtual machine, I'm going to use the entire hard disk.

From the dramatization of prison life in Orange is the New Black to the revelation that "artisanal" goodies enjoyed by hipsters and foodies – cage-free eggs, chèvre, even wine – actually rely on prison labor, today's prison culture is, well, bizarre. And here's something else to add to the list under the heading "Really????" — the $350 Prison Boot, manufactured by Frye.
Surely, this must just be a cute marketing term – right? No. As the maker of the boot describes, "As for Men's, the Prison Boot is actually based on the Arkansas prison boots that are issued out to the prisoners, so we remade it and made it a little more comfortable. [Laughing]." Apparently this time, it's not prison labor (as far as I can tell) that is being expropriated but prison "fashion". The boots recall the concept of militarization, as developed by Cynthia Enloe, a scholar of the military as a social force. She notes that anything can be militarized: a soup can, groups of people (like mothers), toys (GI Joe!), and more. The mark of a militarized society, Enloe argues, is when the militarization of everyday life, through everyday objects, goes unnoticed and becomes taken-for-granted. In other words, when a child sipping tomato soup no longer thinks to ask why the noodles are shaped like weaponry. The Prison boot (Prisonized boot?) extends Enloe's analysis and suggests that the military is not uniquely generative: other institutions, like the prison, can also seep into everyday life and fundamentally reshape it.
Unlike Enloe's tomato soup example, people have been raising questions of the Prison boot: "Prisoners get Frye boots????!!" and "I was thinking the same thing WTF!!" (from Frye's instagram account last month). Hmm. Perhaps some questions are better left unposed…either way, it's a subtle reminder that even as calls for decarceration are louder than they've been in decades and even as conservatives take on the charge to end mass incarceration, the cultural fallout of the prison is likely to be much longer lasting.

When a person gets an idea and puts it to use its called an accomplishment. It sometimes goes against the laws of nature as we know them to be. The younger group of post computer generation do not understand this, and this is why we can not develop new ideas. They only know what a computer tells them. they think if a computer tells them it can't be done its fact. If our grand parents believed this, they would be reading my comment by candle light.

Regarding the comment that wind mills don't produce electicity but wind turbines do. who ever wrote that hasn't been around long enough. I grew up in a windy ranch country and we had wind mills to pump water and windmills to generate electicity.
The only turbines that we knew of was far away in a river and normally owned ba a utility company.

Who are the Syrians running from?
My Canadian's view is that they want to get out before the county is levelled. Lets dialogue on this. It's important. Our hypothecating about a better world is meaningless if the big toys come out and they very well could. I don't like having foreign politicians heading down a road that could lead to a nuclear conflict. I suggest that intelligent conversation could help input some sanity into the situation.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Sep 8 2013: David Hubbard, Great Idea.
The Syrians revolted a few years ago, and when reporters suggested
that the revolutionaries might ask for help from the United States, they
replied with a loud NO!!!
They told reporters for outsiders to stay out of their fight.
Recorded as news from the streets during bloody riots.
How correct the remarks might have been? I don't know.
Since then only Gossip -- Unsubstantiated
That the United States has been secretly and is today
...training Rebels to fight and providing weaponry.
The US Gov't has 850,000 employees with Top Secret
clearances, and a so-impotent Freedom of Information Act,
even a good congressman cannot get a peek at anything.
So here we sit. Typing NSA collectables into TED conversations.
President Obama
First put 4 to 6 destroyers in position to fling 200 WMD missiles into Syria,
and stationed an Aircraft Carrier and Fleet. He began asking for Partners.
Then he publicly threatened the Assad led Syrian Government with a
Military response, appropriate to their use of Chemical Weapons that
killed and maimed 1400 Syrian citizens.
He told the American people and the world he had proof.
But he never showed any.
There is news from the refugee camps. So we know this part is true.
Estimates of several million Syrians have already fled the revolutionary WAR.
They try to live in remote areas, in Syria, and inside refugee camps in neighboring
nations that are willing to help them. Turkey and Jordan, and maybe others also.
This is a scenario that has been repeated for many years, because of WARS.
Mr. Putin claims that rebel outlaw Terrorists did the deed.
Mr. Obama claims it was Assad's government.
Mr. Assad says the Other Dude Did It. ODDI Defense.
The G20 wouldn't agree to help much.
Cameron sided with Obama and forgot about the UK vote.
Obama doesn't want to wait for the UN Security Council vote,
..because China and Russia will likely Veto.
Sep 8 2013: Lejan.
I went back to my old closed Microsoft conversation and found
most commenters have been removed. I wonder why?
If you noticed, hardly any American TEDsters commented.
Seems the issue is decided, by apathy...
The Spying and Surveillances won't be stopped by public outrage.
At least on TED.
By the time Outrage appears, Bluffdale, Utah will already be filled.
The IRS and the NSA will be contributing to the health and safety
of the Mormon's Deseret State aka: Utah.
Jay Leno's tricky question, and Obama's Lie will be memories forgotten.
Turkey will have expanded and will be in charge of the Middle East.
Israel will be the United States Energy Tzars.
The US Military will select our President.
We will pay the NSA or CIA to rewrite world history, for the second time..
People will ask -- Who is John Galt?
...But no TEDster will know the answer.
Sep 9 2013: '...But no TEDster will know the answer.'
I am certain that there are TEDsters who only read the book which, '... of course, involves orcs', as they listened carefully to John Rogers quote about John Galt.
And those who did may know about 'the one', who binds them all and remained sensitive about it since childhood.
This country has never seen so many people awakening from their American dream than it does today. Thats no apathy, thats morning tiredness! Give them some time, some coffee, some more austerity programs, some more wikileaks. Let them have a view more Brad Mannings, Edward Snowdens and Goldman Sachses and they will begin stretching again ...
They can't just shake off centuries of carrot chasing prosperity hope away in a heartbeat.
I know it is there, still, and plenty of it, it's just buried and a bit anxious to come out, that's all...
And some will know how great stories begin, as 'in a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit'. This morning has broken!
Sep 9 2013: Frank, there are more than just 2 who choose to blow the whistle while knowing that would ruin their lives in their own countries forever:
Three came to speak at the 29th Chaos Communication Congress (29c3), the annual congress of the Chaos Computer Club [CCC], which is a hacker community in Germany.
True hackers by their nature and ethics have no affection for intelligence services and they have the knowledge to defend surveillance and suppressive misinformation, thats why their sources of information are widely spread.
Thanks to their open and sharing attitude, I was able to get to know about and to listen to Jesselyn Radack, Thomas Drake and William Binney which speeches left me deeply impressed and concerned about whats going on in the 'land of the free' ...
In case the mentioned term 'Torrorists' is new to you, have a look here:
Sep 10 2013: The only time "most commenters" might be removed from a conversation, I believe, is either when all those commenters turn out to be a single individual posing as several people by using lots of pseudonyms or when people are being so hostile/rude to each other that the moderators think they have violated the terms of use.
Those are the only cases in which I have seen multiple names disappear from a conversation.
Sep 9 2013: So all my writing here is just for some dusty hard-drives and collector-bots?
*bomb* *extremism* *Allah*
And no real agent is reading through all of my funny English?
*attack* *parcel received* *72 Virgins*
How then will I ever be able to make them understand, that they've lost it?
*AK47* *Iحزب الله* *'plutonium*
But if YOU, aka THEY, do read this 'live', just give us a sign of good will, or at least a hint if those *keywords* trigger anything ... in you?
*supercritical* *42*
end of message ...
Sep 9 2013: Robert, thank you,
I have been surprised that the Seniors at the Senior Center of my
small community are as one in their opines about Obama's failures.
If I didn't know better I would call them all Republicans. Not so.
They for the most part voted for Obama, or after he won election,
wanted him to have a chance because he was a black man, and,
most of us white guys, are tired of listening to non-stop bitching
from those who act down-trodden. I may be more sensitive, as
my son-in-law is black as the ace-of-spades. He doesn't bitch,
because, like most men, we are slaves to our women.. Ha. Ha.
"Time marches on". ..I note that the other minorities have joined
America society without a whimper. Now that the back-packers
and plastic-porkers are getting their way, who can bitch about not
being free?
I apologize for my descriptive analysis but I am very old and haven't
learned to change the date on my VCR yet, and I still believe that
Microwaves fry your brains. And if you call me, don't try to leave a
message, I don't have a recorder. How can they charge more for gas
after taking the Lead out?
The US Gov't has 850,000 employees with Top-Secret Clearances.
Only 2 of them have come forward to sound the alarm.
..Only 2.
...Only 2 that we know of.
....Scary huh?

Stem cells transformed into brain cells to treat Parkinson's disease
Parkinson's disease is a debilitating condition where dopamine-producing cells (dopamine is a chemical messenger in the brain) in a region of the brain called the substantia nigra die off. This region of the midbrain is important to basic movments, and the symptoms include tremors and shaking (like Michael J. Fox).
Although we still don't know why they die, it's long been a goal to try and replace these damaged neurons with healthy ones. Stem cells, you say?
Oh yeah, we're all over that, as reported in Nature this week:
In a series of experiments, the team gave animals six injections of more than a million cells each, to parts of the brain affected by Parkinson's. The neurons survived, formed new connections and restored lost movement in mouse, rat and monkey models of the disease, with no sign of tumour development. The improvement in monkeys was crucial, as the rodent brains required fewer working neurons to overcome their symptoms.
On the prospect of future human trials, Dr Studer said: "We now have the right cells, but to put them into humans requires them to be produced in a specialised facility rather than a laboratory, for safety reasons. We have removed the main biological bottleneck and now it's an engineering problem."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
"The Horde of Lordaeron (Forsaken and blood elves) are closely allied with each other, due to being former allies and having both been betrayed by the Alliance in some capacity. This has alwasy been reflected in-game, even in their starting reputations.
I take issue with this statement. The Forsaken have never been betrayed by the Alliance. Quite the opposite in fact, in WC3 it is them who betray Garithos and his men. Yeah, Garithos was a massive jerk but he still held up his end of the bargain, and he got backstabbed for it.
As for the Blood Elves, the faction of Blood Elves that is part of the Horde was never "betrayed" by the Alliance. It is Kael'thas and his men who suffered under Garithos, and the Horde is perfectly happy to kill them alongside the Alliance in Outland.
As for the Alliances unity, I think it's quite strong, as reflected in Northrend. Every Alliance member race is there in force, united under Stormwind.

Crack Down on Rhino Horn Trade!
Tell Judge John Gleeson to throw the book at rhino horn trader Michael Slattery, Jr.!
In November, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that Michael Slattery, Jr., an Irish national and an alleged member of an organized criminal group, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy for violating the Lacey Act, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Slattery traveled throughout the U.S. acquiring black rhino horns to sell using falsified documents.
His hearing is scheduled for January 10, 2014 and the Judge needs to hear from you right away to impose the most strict penalty possible, hopefully deterring other rhino horn traders from engaging in this cruel commerce.
Happy Holidays from Everyone at Born Free USA
Warm wishes to you and yours this holiday season. Please join us as we remember our furred, feathered, and finned friends.
Thank you for your support and warmest wishes for the holidays.
Maine Residents: Protect Maine's Bears!
The Mainers for Fair Bear Hunting coalition is working hard to gather 80,000 signatures by January 9 for a ballot measure to protect bears from hounding, baiting, and trapping – and Born Free USA wants to help them reach this goal. Visit their website to find out how to add your signature or to get involved in the signature-gathering effort.
The Mainers for Fair Bear Hunting coalition needs 20,000 more signatures before January 9 to ensure that the Maine Fair Bear Hunting Act comes up for a vote in November. Get involved and add your signature today!
Wisconsin: Oppose Savage "Hounding" of Gray Wolves!
Gray wolves are being cruelly slaughtered in Wisconsin, and soon, dogs may be forced to participate in the brutal hunt. Help prevent this abusive practice by contacting your state legislators AND Dane County Judge Peter Anderson today!
Judge Anderson issued a temporary injunction against the use of dogs in wolf hunts on August 31, after humane societies and environmental groups sued. This injunction will be lifted on December 20 – in only 3 short days! Please ask him to extend the injunction without delay by calling his office at 608-266-4937 or emailing the court clerk at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Additionally, tell your state senators that you support Senator Risser's bill S.B. 93, which would end hounding permanently in the state. These state officials need to know that you won't tolerate such a savage hunt in Wisconsin!
Michigan: Act Now to Prohibit "Pet" Primates!
There is exciting progress in the fight to end the private ownership of primates in Michigan. Senator Rick Jones (R-24) has introduced S.B. 669 to make it unlawful to own, breed, or sell nonhuman primates as pets. We need your help to urge the Agriculture Committee to approve this bill!
The senators on the Agriculture Committee need to hear that this bill is crucial for public safety and animal welfare, and that their constituents care deeply about the issue. Please call or email these senators to tell them that both primates and humans in Michigan deserve this protection.
New York: Tell Steakhouse to Halt this Cruel Stunt!
M. Wells Steakhouse in Long Island City, NY is using an appalling gimmick to drum up business for its big opening--putting lion meat on the menu.
What the restaurant owners won't tell customers is that lion meat is virtually unregulated. Lions sold for slaughter in the U.S. are completely omitted from the Humane Slaughter Act, and there is little oversight for their welfare or the safety of their meat.
As a concerned New York citizen, please call the owners of M. Wells Steakhouse at 718-786-9060 to let them know that lions belong on the endangered species list, not on the menu!

For Ina Garten, creating a successful meal has nothing to do with what's in vogue; it's all about what's readily available, in season, and easy to prepare. In Back to Basics Ina explores how to bring the best out of ordinary ingredients for delicious meals that have that extra wow factor we've all come to expect from the Barefoot Contessa.
Which ingredient unlocks the purest chocolate flavor in brownie pudding? What twist makes an old favorite like tomato Caprese salad truly unique? How can you amp up the impact of butternut squash soup without overpowering the true butternut squash flavor? It's not always about finding the most exotic or costly ingredients--it's about finding the methods and flavor pairings that unlock the essence of good food.
Newcomers and longtime fans alike will love Ina's insights on building a menu, finishing a dish, and setting the scene for dinner, and an inspired roster of all-new recipes--ranging from Lobster Corn Chowder to Fresh Lemon Mousse and Easy Sticky Buns--demonstrates Ina's talent for transforming fresh, easy-to-find ingredients into an elegant meal without fuss or complications.

Asymptotic Distribution-Free Diagnostic Tests For Heteroskedastic Time Series Models
AbstractThis article investigates model checks for a class of possibly nonlinear heteroskedastic time series models, including but not restricted to ARMA-GARCH models. We propose omnibus tests based on functionals of certain weighted standardized residual empirical processes. The new tests are asymptotically distribution-free, suitable when the conditioning set is in?nite- dimensional, and consistent against a class of Pitman?s local alternatives converging at the parametric rate n??1=2; with n the sample size. A Monte Carlo study shows that the simulated level of the proposed tests is close to the asymptotic level already for moderate sample sizes and that tests have a satisfactory power performance. Finally, we illustrate our methodology with an application to the well-known S&P 500 daily stock index. The paper also contains an asymptotic uniform expansion for weighted residual empirical processes when initial conditions are considered, a result of independent interest.
