AScribe Newswire
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA -- Adult
siblings are learning to share in the care of their elderly
While the eldest daughter still tends to shoulder the
heaviest burden of caring for aging parents, more and more
adult children are pitching in, says Steven Stern, professor
of economics at the University of Virginia.
"Families often behave as if there is only one
caregiver," said Stern. "While there is usually one child
who is the primary caregiver, other adult children are often
willing to help out, within the limits of their
capabilities. Often, the caregiver may not think to consult
with her siblings and she misses out on opportunities to get
But this has been changing. Stern, and his co-author,
Tenille Checkovitch, now a Yale-educated lawyer and formerly
an undergraduate student at U.Va. majoring in economics,
studied the arrangements families make to care for aging
parents in their article, "Shared Care-giving Responsibility
of Adult Siblings with Elderly Parents," published in the
current issue of the Journal of Human Resources, which
appeared on June 21.
The researchers found that:
- Women provide more care than men.
- Race has little impact on a child's decision to care for
parents, after taking into account other family
- Children living farther away from their parents provide
less care.
- Children provide more care for parents who need help with
the tasks of daily living, such as dressing, eating and
getting around.
- The more children in the family, the less care each child
provides, although total care increases.
Families seem to fall into two different groups, Stern
says. In one, the children make their caregiving decisions
independently; in the other, they work as a team. "It has
something to do with family dynamics," Stern says. Stern
and his colleague took issue with previous research that
suggested that siblings compete with each other for future
bequests by helping their parents. Stern's results did not
substantiate that argument, showing instead that sibling
rivalry didn't lead to more help from all the
children. Instead, more help from one child tended to result
in less help from the others.
Above all, the authors found that families often have more
flexibility in caring for aging parents than they may
realize and most or all the children no matter their gender,
income levels or the distance they live from their parents
should be involved in making decisions. "Decisions don't
happen in a vacuum," Stern said. "Children take into account
the care-giving decisions of their siblings when making
their own decisions."
"What this means is that health care providers should
include all the adult children, as much as possible, in
caregiving decisions," Stern said. "And public policymakers
should realize that programs of long-term care for the
elderly will affect the adult children in these families, as
well as the elderly parents themselves."
The challenge is growing. Improved nutrition and medical
care are lengthening life spans, but as people age, their
physical and mental impairments increase, leading to an
expanding need for long-term care. By 2030, there will be
an estimated 70 million people over 65 in the United States,
according to the U.S. Bureau of the Census. And while only 7
percent of America's oldest population -- 85 and above --
lived in institutions in 1940, 25 percent do now, research
"Needs are complex, but solutions are easier to come by
when children talk to one another and share the care," Stern

Question: We have a spreadsheet that is a several thousand lines made up of three types of rows: User:, Patient:, and those that start with a plus sign. Do you know a way to remove (delete) all of the rows that start with a plus sign without changing the order of the rows?
Answer: You may select the sort/filter icon from the Home tab in the ribbon (or from Data tab). Then click the filter down arrow on the heading of that column and unselect the plus sign on the + entries and keep checks in the User and Patient fields. This filters out the plus signs and only the User and Patient rows will display. You can then copy and paste those records to a new file, just in case you need to refer back to the original data.

Pikes Peak record-holder Jeff Zwart and his record-setting Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car are like kindred spirits, joined together to achieve a greater purpose. We found out exactly what that purpose was when Zwart won and set a new record in the 2WD Time Attack class in last June's 88th running of the Pikes Peak Hillclimb.
Turns out, even in the off-season, Zwart still has time to take his beloved race car out for a spin – or ten – along the Californian mountains with twists and turns that leads to God-knows-where.
When he's not behind the wheel shaking down his 911 GT3 Cup car, the multi-titled Pikes Peak veteran – he's been racing in the event for 12 years on nine different Porsches while winning seven different class championships - spends some time talking about and discussing his deep-seated love for his racer, clearly showing that he and his 911 GT3 Cup are like brothers from two different mothers.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WDRB) – Snow is spitting from a leaden sky around the Western Kentucky University campus. A knot of Hilltopper football players are working out on the ground floor football complex, lifting weights, pounding the treadmill trying to say in game shape.
And TV personnel are laying cable everywhere.
The University of Kentucky had no interest in hiring Bobby Petrino as its next football coach, even though a substantial group of UK fans were fine with the move. WKU had no similar hesitation.
Less than two days after Willie Taggart left for South Florida, WKU is primed to introduce Petrino here during a press conference in the Jim and Jackie Harbaugh Lounge.
WKU will take some hits for this. Petrino comes carrying a vast offensive playbook – and a massive stack of baggage.
Arkansas fired him last April after he lied about an affair he had with a younger woman that Petrino had hired for a job in the football program. He walked out on the Atlanta Falcons in the middle of his first season. He chased multiple jobs after signing contract extensions at the University of Louisville.
This one will be debated nationally with vigor – as it should be.
Western athletic director Todd Stewart and president Dr. Gary Ransdell know that and obviously decided they were willing to forgive Petrino because A) he can win football games; B) he can sell tickets and C) he will get people talking about WKU football.
As we await, Petrino's opening press conference, this discussion has just begun.

Evernote acquires Penultimate; iPad note taking fans rejoice
Summary: Evernote just announced the acquisition of Penultimate, the extremely popular inking application on the Apple iPad.
I love Evernote and have been a pro version subscriber for years so I was pleased to just receive the news that the acquired Penultimate. Penultimate is a fantastic ink application for the iPad, available for just 99 cents, and will remain an independent application with even more Evernote integration.
As stated by Phil Libin, CEO of Evernote:
Digital handwriting has been around for decades, but it has never gone mainstream because the hardware and software simply weren't aligned. Thanks to Penultimate and the iPad, that's all changing. For the first time ever, writing on a tablet is really great, which is why we chose this moment to make the acquisition. We have big plans for Penultimate that will both enhance the app and bring more capabilities into Evernote. It's already the best handwriting app out there, and it's only just getting started."
Penultimate allows you to create handwritten notes, sketch things out, and really do just about anything you do on paper. You can import photos and images to use with your notes too. I used to use Evernote on Windows Phone with a stylus and currently use it on my HTC Flyer with the stylus, but the iPad application has always been limited to text notes. With Penultimate you can take handwritten notes, drawings, and sketches and sync them with Evernote. With this new acquisition we are sure to see even more Evernote functionality integrated with Penultimate and I can't wait to see what develops.

If back-to-school is adding up to a clutter explosion
in your home, you'll love our easy-as-ABC lessons for taming the chaos.
Designate a Drop Spot: Backpacks and sports gear can easily
engulf a home; pick a convenient drop spot for off-loading when the kids arrive
home. Make it easy to make it stick: a simple hall bench; set of cubbies or
even wall hooks can do the trick. Offer simple rewards when all items are
stowed away regularly.
Kitchen Command Center: Deputize a bulletin board or white board to track all
family commitments, sports schedules and major tests and projects. When invites
and event notices come in, log the date on the calendar, then toss the paper.
Homework Helper: Corral
pens, pencils, glue sticks and other homework supplies in a portable homework caddy.
Keeping study tools
close at hand will prevent students from wandering off in search of needed
items and individual items from migrating all over the house. Consider color
coding your kids so you can tell which child is leaving supplies scattered
around the house.
A Look Ahead: Model
good organizational habits for your kids by spending the end of the day planning
for the next morning. By taking just 15 minutes to round up school supplies,
paperwork and special items such as snow boots or umbrellas, you can minimize
stress during the morning rush.
Weekly Clean Ups: Keep chaos at bay with weekly clean-ups. Update the
family command center calendar, restore missing items to their rightful place
and restock school supplies that are running low. Revisit your children's
personal planners or calendars and provide feedback on how they managed their
schedules and workloads for the week. Praise successes and offer suggestions
for improvement where necessary.

days, cooler nights: fall's sweater weather is here. Create room in your closet
for bulky cold weather clothes and boots with our simple steps for a
well-organized wardrobe.
So Long Summer: Free
up room for cold weather fashions by saying good-bye to seasonal items until
next summer. Retire flip flops, sundresses and bathing suits from your closet
into off-season storage. By editing your closet to house only seasonally
appropriate items, it'll be easier to dress each morning.
Assess the Dress:
Give all fall items a through onceover asking yourself three questions: Does it
fit? Do I wear it? Do I love it? If the answer to any of these questions is no,
the item needs to go.
Move On: Gather
unwanted or ill-fitting clothes into groups: one to donate, one to pass along
to friends and another to trash. Consider enlisting a friend to help you assess
your closet; their unbiased eye will help you weed out what no longer works. Be
sure to keep receipts for any items donated to charity.
Identify Transition Items:
Find a spot in your closet to house transition items, such as tees or
lightweight dresses that can be worn with tights and belted cardigans. While some
summer items can transition through a cool fall, they often must be retired
during a cold winter. By grouping these items in one spot, you can keep track
of them and ensure they eventually make it into storage rather than cluttering
up the closet.
Color Code: Once
your wardrobe is edited down to seasonally appropriate items, it's time to
color code like items. By grouping items by color, specific items can be found
more readily. Also, consider grouping items into zones: low rods for shirts,
tops and folded pants, and a higher rod for dresses and long skirts.
Embrace Order: Opening
the door to a tidy, well-organized closet each morning can be a moment of Zen.
Arrange your hangers in the same direction and banish sloppy piles by storing items
that require folding draped over hangers. Keep a small trash can to corral
dry-cleaning bags and wire hangers. Aim for clutter free calm.
Tame Odds & Ends: Corral
accessories and small items which can easily take over a closet. Use bins to
capture handbags and larger accessories. Think vertical, using closet walls to
display hats or favorite bags. Belts and scarves can be stored on the back of
the closet door or in specially-designed hanging units.

Your tan hasn't even faded but you are back to work big time. Hello
September, time to get busy.
If your post-Labor Day mojo is in need of a reboot, read our five tips
for making your reentry from the slow summer pace painless.
for a Smooth Return: Returning to your office Monday morning from vacation to
face a kajillion e-mails is never fun. Take some time Sunday evening to triage
your email inbox, deleting what's unnecessary and sorting remaining e-mails into
an "immediate action" folder and a "later in the week" folder. Likewise, clear
your Monday calendar so that meetings and conference calls fall later in the
day or even mid-week. By scheduling in an initial block of meeting-free time,
you can catch up on what you've missed before new demands overwhelm.
Schedule an Update: After a vacation, schedule
time for key work colleagues to update you on projects statuses, new deadline
and other important considerations. By selecting key people to spearhead your update,
you minimize information overload and the time-drain or hearing from too many
Build in Fun: Returning from vacation can be a bummer. Ward
off the post-vacation blues by booking a lunch date with a good friend or a
trusted colleague mid-week. Connecting with friends keeps the post-vacation
glow going just a little bit longer. Research
shows that the happiest workers are those who feel connected to their coworkers
and friends.
Engage in Goal Setting: While returning to work means diving in to must-do projects,
take time to focus not just on the nuts and bolts of work but on your career big
picture. Passionate, successful employees are those that are always growing and
adding new skills or experiences. Look at September as a fresh start, and dive
into career building.
Book another Vacation: Saying good-bye to summer Fridays and a leisurely vacation pace
isn't easy. So consider scheduling your next getaway now. Knowing that you have
a fun vacation to look forward down the road takes the sting out of returning
to the 9-to-5 grind.
Finally, we leave you with one of our past posts to help ease the
transition from summer BBQs to sweater weather: Top 10 Reasons to be Excited its Fall.
Enjoy your fall!

Folders to do more,
just like you do. One folder offers three sections, making it a snap to
subdivide files for multiple or large projects. Managing a busy household?

project? Teach her to designate the separate sections for notes, drafts and
resource materials. One folder, three pockets: endless possibilities.

back-to-school season puts your need for organization and productivity into
overdrive. That's why we made this fuss-free folder extraordinarily simple to
use. Each folder offers an oversize tab for easy identification and three
smaller tabs, making sorting simple. Heavy-duty documents are not a problem; the
folders are sealed on all sides for maximum security. And the deep pockets
easily capture and secure multiple or thick documents.
We also
designed the folders in standard-letter size to integrate seamlessly into your
existing filing systems: use them in either a hanging or desktop system. The
folders also come in assorted colors so users can color-code documents for easy
filing and quick retrieval. Who doesn't love a folder that works as hard as you
do? Yup, Divide-It-Up simply does more.
would you use a multi-tasking folder like Divide-It-Up?

Back-to-school shopping signs are everywhere
signaling summer's end. Before you know it, cool weather will spell retirement
for boogie boards, beach umbrellas and other summer gear. Start your fall on an
organized note with our tips for storing seasonal summer items.
Beachy Clean
Before storing beach chairs, umbrellas and
sand toys, give each item a cold water rinse and a good scrub. Next, allow items
to thoroughly dry in the sun to avoid mildew and prevent sand and salt from corroding
items during the off-season.
Likewise, hose down patio furniture and clean
outdoor pillows with a mixture of water and mild detergent. Scrub mildew stains
with a stiff brush; allow all items to dry in the sun, then store indoors in a
garage or basement.
Once the summer BBQ season is over, it's time
to thrill your grill. Dismantle and clean all the gunk off, finishing up with a
light coating of oil spray to repel winter moisture. Then store your grill in
an indoor, protected environment such as a garage. The exception to this
storage rule? Propane tanks: safety dictates well-ventilated, protected outdoor
storage versus indoors.
Store More
Maximize storage with creativity. Think vertical
and use your garage or basement walls to hang lightweight items. Mark off the
dimensions of
beach chairs, umbrellas, and surf and boogie
boards along the wall. Next, add eye-hold screws along the measurements'
perimeter and use bungee cords to affix items to the wall. You can also reduce
the number of bulky items to store by deflating all beach balls and inner tubes
and storing like items in a plastic storage bin.
Keep in mind that
not all items need to be stored for next season. Kids grow like weeds so don't waste time storing outgrown
summer clothes and bikes, etc. Organize a swap with friends whose kids are
older or younger to pass along outgrown items and inherit what your family can
use the following year. Give all items a careful onceover; sometimes an item is
past its prime and is ready to toss. That slip 'n slide that is more slip than
slide? Toss. Rusty gardening tools? Toss. Inner tubes that constantly lose air?
Toss. You get the idea.
Be sure to free up closet space for your fall goods by storing
all beach towels and bathing suits in plastic storage bins in the garage,
basement or attic.
If you still don't
have a place to store all your summer items, hit the stores: storage items are traditionally on sale in the
fall as stores court back-to-school shoppers looking to get organized. Evaluate
your current storage needs and stock up on what you're missing.
Repair and Retire
Finally, get a jump start on next summer's
warm weather fun by tackling needed repairs and restocking seasonal items now,
while prices are at rock bottom. By repairing summer sports gear such as tennis
racquets and swim goggles before storing, and replacing must-have items now,
you'll be ready to dive back into summer fun the minute Memorial Day rolls

you store summer gear? Share your thoughts here and on the Pendaflex Facebook and Twitter

Topic - Rope middle mark
shaymarriott - on 17 Mar 2013
I bought an Edelrid Heron last week, and today took it out of it's packaging to have a play. One thing I have noticed is that the mid point marker is out by a fair bit - enough to cause about two meters extra surpluses rope on one end when racking it from the marked 'middle'.
Is this something which is normal in the rope world? I've never owned a rope before but have used many, and I do not remember ever having this issue before.
I spent the best part of Ł150 at CO on the rope and I guess I expected better. Is it worth asking for a replacement?

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm glad you're taking on this project, and I understand there will be limitations. I'm sorry if I came off a bit negative, mostly I was hoping to address challenges, but I didn't do a good job in communicating that.
In regards to:
"It's somewhat similar to how the CPI addresses things like car prices. Obviously, the change in the price of a 1966 Ford Fairlane says little about what's happening with regard to inflation. So instead of following that specific car, the CPI would instead follow the average mid-sized vehicle of the current model year -- say, a 2012 Ford Taurus."
Yes, that case can be made. Caution, however, should be taken because it isn't quite comparable. For as we approach the end of an expansion life cycle, both supply and demand drop off quite a bit. The fewest players are typically playing, and those who do aren't often crafting items with that expansion's mats, etc. While herb or ore or enchanting mats prices may drop by half the last weeks or months before a new expansion, the same cannot be said for new car prices right before the next model year comes out. You might get a 5% or 10% discount for a 2011 Ford Taurus as the new 2012s arrive, but you're never going to see it drop to half the week before, and to almost nothing the week after the 2012s arrive on the lot.
Of course nothing in life is perfect, and I'm sure you'll do your best. I wish you the best of luck on the project. The results will be interesting to see.

Judge Orders Dog to Warn Others About Dangerous Tail Wagging
After twice knocking the lamp off the table due to excessive and overly excited tail wagging, a judge has ordered Clem the dog to wear a sign warning others of his rambunctious appendage.
"I'm not sure what good it will do," said Laslo Coyne, who lodged a complaint last week after his iced coffee was nearly knocked off the table by Clem. "I mean, that tail is a menace, and no amount of signage will change that."
When asked what he thought could protect his future iced coffees, Laslo wasn't sure.
"Making him an outside dog, maybe? I don't know," he mumbled.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"Personalized these for our save the dates. My fiance and I had a photo shoot done in an old Broadway movie theater. And these save the dates were perfect touch of modern to mix with the vintage style. Paper quality was excellent and am really pleased with this product. Looking forward to purchasing the coordinated suite for my wedding invitations."
"My save the date turned out beautiful! The shimmer paper added a really nice detail to the already amazing product! The product is high quality and I would definitely recommend this product to everyone!"
"The Precocious Penguin Save the Dates (in black) were a big hit with our guests and a fun and whimsical way to share our happy wedding date news! Would be fun for wedding paper divas to expand the Precious Penguins pattern to other card/invitation types (i.e. thank yous, rehearsal dinner/shower invites, etc.)"
"I ordered these Save the Dates and am extremely pleased. They have such a unique look to them, which I love. They look nothing like any of the other Save the Dates on my fridge, that I received. I do wish they came in magnets however, they are still great. If you're looking for a Save the Date that will stand out amongst the rest, this is a great choice."
"The cards were incredibly easy to customize and I loved the selection offered. I live in the UK now, so it was key for me to have fast and reliable international delivery, which is exactly what I got. I was stunned at how quickly the cards came and was impressed by the quality, especially given what a great price they were. Will definitely use them again to order Thank You cards and will recommend to all my friends."

Black Bean and Chili Scrambled Egg Arepas
I've been looking for Harina P.A.N. for quite some time now, and finally found one place to get it in Sydney; the Essential Ingredient in Rozelle. It was worth the drive! This was a great breakfast and pretty simple to make. Note: let the arepa's cool off before you cut them, or it'll fall apart a bit.
I should mention, if you haven't heard of them, that arepa's are a Venezuelan corn cake… think of it like a taco shell, but like, tastier.
- 1 can of black beans, cooked on medium for 15 minutes
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 cup Harina P.A.N.
- 1 1/2 cups warm milk
- 1/2 cup grated cheese
- 4 tbsp butter
- Olive oil, salt and pepper
Mix Harina P.A.N., 1 1/4 cups milk, and cheese. Season with salt and let sit while you get a pan hot. Melt butter in the pan, and form 1/2 inch thick, 3 inch wide rounds of the dough. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side until golden, and then move to a baking tray and bake for 15 minutes at 200C / 375F. Set aside for at least 10 minutes before slicing into it to make a pita.
In the meantime, get your beans ready and mix up the eggs, chili, and remaining milk. Season and scramble in a medium heat pan. Serve together in the arepas.

(12/01/2009) If you're a world leader and you won't be in Copenhagen next week you might feel out of the loop. Currently 98 heads of state have agreed to attend the Climate Change Summit in Copenhagen—nearly half of the 192 member nations of the UN.
Face-to-face with what may be the last of the world's smallest rhino, the Bornean rhinoceros
(12/01/2009) Nothing can really prepare a person for coming face-to-face with what may be the last of a species. I had known for a week that I would be fortunate enough to meet Tam. I'd heard stories of his gentle demeanor, discussed his current situation with experts, and read everything I could find about this surprising individual. But still, walking up to the pen where Tam stood contentedly pulling leaves from the hands of a local ranger, hearing him snort and whistle, watching as he rattled the bars with his blunted horn, I felt like I was walking into a place I wasn't meant to be. As though I was treading on his, Tam's space: entering into a cool deep forest where mud wallows and shadows still linger. This was Tam's world; or at least it should be.
World requires radical new economic models to fight poverty and mitigate global warming
(11/30/2009) A new report calls for a radical re-envisioning of current economic models in order to tackle poverty, mitigate and adapt to climate change, and solve other environmental problems. The report was crafted by the New Economics Foundation (NEF) and the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and was supported by The Working Group on Climate Change and Development, which includes a wide variety of well-known groups, including environmental, religious, and anti-poverty organizations.

Americans throw away enough food every year to feed 200 million adults
(11/30/2009) The amount of food Americans throw away has risen by approximately 50 percent since 1974 according to a new study in PLoS ONE. American now waste on average 1400 calories per person everyday, equaling 150 trillion calories a year nationwide. Considering that the average person requires approximately 2,000 calories a day, this means that the US could feed over 200 million adults every year with the food that ends up in the trash. Currently, the UN estimates that one billion people—an historical record—are going hungry worldwide.
Zoos call for deeper emission cuts to save life on Earth
(11/30/2009) To save species around the world zoos say deeper emission cuts are needed than governments are currently proposing. Over 200 zoos worldwide have signed a petition calling on governments to set the target of atmospheric carbon below 350 parts per million (ppm) far lower than most government targets.
Guyana expedition finds biodiversity trove in area slated for oil and gas development, an interview with Robert Pickles
(11/29/2009) An expedition deep into Guyana's rainforest interior to find the endangered giant river otter—and collect their scat for genetic analysis—uncovered much more than even this endangered charismatic species. "Visiting the Rewa Head felt like we were walking in the footsteps of Wallace and Bates, seeing South America with its natural density of wild animals as it would have appeared 150 years ago," expedition member Robert Pickles said to Mongabay.com.
Reforestation effort would lower Britain's greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent
(11/25/2009) A study by Britain's Forestry Commission found that planting 23,000 hectares of forest every year for the next 40 years would lower the island nation's greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent, according to reporting by the BBC.
Land of plenty: 50 percent rise in the amount of food wasted in America worsens global warming, consumes freshwater
(11/25/2009) Just before Thanksgiving a new study shows that Americans are throwing away more food than ever. Since 1974 the amount of food Americans water per capita has risen by approximately 50 percent, according to a new study in PLoS ONE. Researchers found that food waste is adding to America's greenhouse gas emissions and accounts for over one quarter of the nation's freshwater consumption every year.
In midst of poaching crisis, illegal rhino horn tops gold
(11/25/2009) Rhino poaching has hit a fifteen-year high, and the rising price for black-market rhino horn is likely the reason why. For the first time in a decade rhino horn is worth more than gold: a kilo of rhino horn is worth approximately 60,000 US dollars while gold is a little over 40,600 US dollars.
The US will set emissions target, but is this a turning point for success at Copenhagen?

Sushi lovers may be eating Critically Endangered species without knowing it
(11/24/2009) Restaurants sampled in New York and Colorado are serving up bluefin tuna without informing their customers know they are dining on an endangered species, according to a new study in PLoS ONE. Using DNA barcoding researchers from the Sackler Institute for Comparative Genomics at the American Museum of Natural History found that nearly a third of tuna sampled in one restaurant in Colorado and thirty restaurants in New York served bluefin tuna, and nine of the restaurants did not label the tuna as bluefin.
Transmitters implanted in orangutans for tracking after release into the wild
(11/23/2009) For the first time transmitters have been implanted in orangutans to track their daily movements.

Videos and Photos: over 17,000 species discovered in waters beyond the sun's reach
(11/23/2009) Deep, deep below the ocean's surface, in a world of ever-present darkness, one would expect few, if any, species would thrive. However, recent expeditions by the Census of Marine Life (CoML) have found an incredible array of strange, diverse, and amazing creatures. To date a total of 17,650 species are now known to live in frigid, nearly lightless waters beyond the photic zone—where enough light occurs for photosynthesis—approximately 200 meters deep. Nearly 6,000 of these occur in even harsher ecosystems, below depths of 1,000 meters or 0.62 miles down.
Global warming will increase likelihood of civil war in Africa by 55 percent
(11/23/2009) There have been many warnings by policymakers that rising temperatures in Africa could lead to civil conflict, however a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences is the first to uncover empirical evidence for these warnings and quantify them. The results—that higher temperatures increased the likelihood of civil war in sub-Saharan Africa by over 50 percent—took aback even the researchers.
Deforestation emissions should be shared between producer and consumer, argues study
(11/19/2009) Under the Kyoto Protocol the nation that produces carbon emission takes responsibility for them, but what about when the country is producing carbon-intensive goods for consumer demand beyond its borders? For example while China is now the world's highest carbon emitter, 50 percent of its growth over the last year was due to producing goods for wealthy countries like the EU and the United States which have, in a sense, outsourced their manufacturing emissions to China. A new study in Environmental Research Letters presents a possible model for making certain that both producer and consumer share responsibility for emissions in an area so far neglected by studies of this kind: deforestation and land-use change.
Oil palm workers still below poverty line, despite Minister's statements
(11/19/2009) On October 19th, Plantation Industries and Commodities Minister Tan Sri Bernard Dompok told parliament that oil palm harvesters and rubber tappers are living above Malaysia's national poverty line, according to a story in the Malaysian Insider. But now representatives of the workers are saying Dompok lied.
After years of controversy: Flores 'hobbits' are a new species of humans
(11/19/2009) When the 'hobbits' were discovered in 2003 they made news worldwide, sparking visions of a world our small relations lived among giant rats, dwarf elephants, and lizards bigger than the Komodo dragon. The small hominin fossils discovered on the island of Flores in Indonesia proved just how little modern humans knew about our deep ancestry. While researchers instantly claimed that the 'hobbits' were a new species of hominin other scientists disagreed: they argued that the 'hobbits' were modern humans that had been dwarfed by disease. A new study inSignificance hopes to put the controversy to rest.
Using fish as livestock feed threatens global fisheries
(11/18/2009) Fish doesn't just feed humans. Millions of tons of fish are fed every year to chickens, pigs, and even farmed fish even in the midst of rising concerns over fish stocks collapses around the world. Finding an alternative to fish as livestock feed would go a long way toward preventing the collapse of fish populations worldwide according to a new paper in Oryx.
Oceans' ability to sequester carbon diminishing
(11/18/2009) A new study—the first of its kind—has completed an annual accounting of the oceans' intake of carbon over the past 250 years, and the news is troubling. According to the study, published in Nature, the oceans' ability to sequester carbon is struggling to keep-up with mankind's ever-growing emissions. Since 2000 researchers estimate that while every year the oceans continue to sequester more anthropogenic carbon emission, the overall proportion of carbon taken in by the oceans is declining.
Pygmy hippo shot and killed in…Australia
(11/17/2009) Hunters going after pigs in Australia's Northwest Territories got a big surprise when they shot an animal they mistook for a pig, only to find out it was a pygmy hippopotamus, reports the Northwest Territory News.
Record year for CO2 emissions, even with economic slowdown
(11/17/2009) 8.7 billion tons of carbon dioxide was emitted into the earth's atmosphere in 2008, a growth of 2 percent despite the economic crisis. This averages out to each person contributing a record high of 1.3 tons of carbon, according to a report in the journal Nature Science. While the global recession slowed the growth of fossil fuel emissions for the first time this decade, it did not lower emissions altogether.
Coastal habitats may sequester 50 times more carbon than tropical forests by area
(11/16/2009) Highly endangered coastal habitats are incredibly effective in sequestering carbon and locking it away in soil, according to a new paper in a report by the IUCN. The paper attests that coastal habitats—such as mangroves, sea grasses, and salt marshes—sequester as much as 50 times the amount of carbon in their soil per hectare as tropical forest. "The key difference between these coastal habitats and forests is that mangroves, seagrasses and the plants in salt marshes are extremely efficient at burying carbon in the sediment below them where it can stay for centuries or even millennia."
Extinct goat was "similar to crocodiles"
(11/16/2009) It sounds like something out of Greek mythology: a half-goat, half-reptilian creature. But researchers have discovered that an extinct species of goat, the Balearic Island cave goat or Myotragus balearicus, survived in nutrient-poor Mediterranean islands by evolving reptilian-specific characteristics. The goat, much like crocodiles, was able to grow at flexible rates, stopping growth entirely when food was scant. This adaptation—never before seen in a mammal—allowed the species to survive for five million years before being driven to extinction only 3,000 years ago, likely by human hunters.
Actions taken to save sharks 'disappointing'
(11/15/2009) Environmentalists say that the International Commissions for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT) did not do enough in their yearly meeting to protect the ocean's sharks.
ICCAT fails to protect critically endangered tuna—again
(11/15/2009) The International Commissions for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT) ignored the advice of its scientists to end fishing of the Atlantic bluefin tuna. Instead ICAAT set a quota of 13,500 tons of fish. This is not the first time ICCAT has flouted its own researchers' advice: it has repeatedly set quotas well-above its researchers' recommendations.
New rating systems seeks to promote sustainable landscapes from shopping malls to city parks
(11/15/2009) The Sustainable Sites Initiative has developed the United States' first rating system for the design, construction, and on-going maintenance of a wide-variety of landscapes, both with and without buildings, including shopping malls, subdivisions, university campuses, corporate buildings, transportation centers, parks and other recreation areas, and single-family homes.
Forgotten species: Madagascar's water-loving mammal, the aquatic tenrec
(11/12/2009) There are many adjectives one could attach to the aquatic tenrec: rare, mysterious, elusive, one-of-a-kind, even adorable, though one tries to stray from such value-laden titles since it excludes so many other non-adorable inhabitants of the animal kingdom. This small and, yes, cute insectivore, also known as the web-footed tenrec, lives in Eastern Madagascar where at night it spends the majority of its time swimming and diving in fast-moving streams for insects and tadpoles. It sleeps during the day in small streamside burrows. To date that is about the extent of our knowledge of this species.
New report: boreal forests contain more carbon than tropical forest per hectare
(11/12/2009) A new report states that boreal forests store nearly twice as much carbon as tropical forests per hectare: a fact which researchers say should make the conservation of boreal forests as important as tropical in climate change negotiations. The report from the Canadian Boreal Initiative and the Boreal Songbird Initiative, entitled "The Carbon the World Forgot", estimates that the boreal forest—which survives in massive swathes across Alaska, Canada, Northern Europe, and Russia—stores 22 percent of all carbon on the earth's land surface. According to the study the boreal contains 703 gigatons of carbon, while the world's tropical forests contain 375 gigatons.
Declaration calls for more wilderness protected areas to combat global warming
(11/11/2009) Meeting this week in Merida, Mexico, the 9th World Wilderness Congress (WILD9) has released a declaration that calls for increasing wilderness protections in an effort to mitigate climate change. The declaration, which is signed by a number of influential organizations, argues that wilderness areas—both terrestrial and marine—act as carbon sinks, while preserving biodiversity and vital ecosystem services.
UN singles out US as the most important nation for global warming negotiations
(11/11/2009) Visiting Washington DC, Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon stated that the United States was the world's most important actor when it comes to negotiations for a new climate change treaty, while urging the Senate to move forward on legislation.
Costa Rica proposes to downgrade Las Baulas National Park, threatening leatherback sea turtles
(11/11/2009) Costa Rica is considered by many to be a shining example of environmental stewardship, preserving both its terrestrial and marine biodiversity while benefiting from being a popular tourist location. However, a new move by the Costa Rican government has placed their reputation in question. In May of this year the President of Costa Rica, Oscar Arias, presented a law to the legislature that would downgrade Las Baulas from a National Park to a 'mixed property wildlife refuge'. The downgrading would authorize a number of development projects that conservationists say would threaten the park's starring resident: the leatherback turtle.
Nations vulnerable to global warming present demands: carbon levels below 350ppm and billions in aid
(11/10/2009) A group of nations especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change have released a declaration calling for developed countries to keep CO2 emission below 350 parts per million (ppm) and to give 1.5 percent of their gross domestic product to aid developing nations in adapting to the myriad impacts of climate change.
Prime Minister of Kenya urged to ban lion-killing pesticide after child dies from ingestion
(11/10/2009) On Monday October 26th a three-year-old girl mistakenly ate the pesticide Furadan (also known as carbofuran) in western Kenya. Her father, a teacher at a primary school, said that he had no knowledge of how dangerous the pesticide was, which he had purchased to kill pests in his vegetable garden.
Global warming threatens desert life
(11/09/2009) There have been numerous studies showing how climate change is impacting a variety of environments—from the Arctic to coral reefs to alpine—but how could a warmer world damage deserts, already the world's warmest and driest environments?
Saving the world's rarest wolf
(11/09/2009) Living on the roof of Africa, the Ethiopian wolf is one of the world's rarest carnivores, if not the rarest! Trapped on a few mountain islands rising over 4,000 meters above sea level on either/both sides of the Great Rift Valley, this unique canid has so far survived millennia of human-animal interactions in one of Africa's most densely populated rural lands. But the threat of climate change and a shifting agriculture frontier may require new conservation measures, according to Argentine-born Claudio Sillero, the world's foremost expert on the Ethiopian wolf, who has spent two decades championing this rare species.
Obama slower than Bush in protecting America's endangered species
(11/08/2009) In George W. Bush's eight years as president, he placed 62 species under the protection of the Endangered Species Act (ESA), an average of eight species per year. While, Bush's slow pace in protecting endangered species frustrated environmentalists in light of continued decline among many species, Obama is moving even slower.
Hunting across Southeast Asia weakens forests' survival, An interview with Richard Corlett
(11/08/2009) A large flying fox eats a fruit ingesting its seeds. Flying over the tropical forests it eventually deposits the seeds at the base of another tree far from the first. One of these seeds takes root, sprouts, and in thirty years time a new tree waits for another flying fox to spread its speed. In the Southeast Asian tropics an astounding 80 percent of seeds are spread not by wind, but by animals: birds, bats, rodents, even elephants. But in a region where animals of all shapes and sizes are being wiped out by uncontrolled hunting and poaching—what will the forests of the future look like? This is the question that has long occupied Richard Corlett, professor of biological science at the National University of Singapore.
Fossil fuel subsidies "bringing us closer to irreversible climate change"
(11/06/2009) The Green Economy Coalition is urging G20 finance ministers to rapidly put an end to fossil fuel subsidies. In a letter to the ministers the coalition argues that these subsidies are contributing directly to climate change and making it difficult for the world to transition to a greener economy.
NASA satellite image reveals extent of drought in East Africa
(11/05/2009) A new image from NASA shows the severity of the drought in East Africa, which impacted Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia.
World's first video of the elusive and endangered bay cat
(11/05/2009) Rare, elusive, and endangered by habitat loss, the bay cat is one of the world's least studied wild cats. Several specimens of the cat were collected in the 19th and 20th Century, but a living cat wasn't even photographed until 1998. Now, researchers in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, have managed to capture the first film of the bay cat (Catopuma badia). Lasting seven seconds, the video shows the distinctly reddish-brown cat in its habitat.
Kihansi spray toad goes extinct in the wild
(11/04/2009) This year's IUCN Red List has updated its assessment of the Kihansi spray toad, moving the species from Critically Endangered to Extinct in the Wild. With that another amphibian species has been lost to a combination of habitat loss and the devastating amphibian disease, the chytrid fungus. The Kihansi spray toad Nectophrynoides asperginis, which still survives in a number of zoos in the United States, had lived on just two hectares along the Kihansi gorge in Tanzania. The toad was specially adapted to the spray region of the Kihansi waterfall, which kept its small environment at a constant temperature and humidity.
Reptiles underrepresented on the IUCN Red List
(11/04/2009) Currently there are an estimated nearly 9,000 reptiles in the world, while the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List has assessed all of the world's described mammals, birds, and amphibians, reptiles have yet to be fully assessed, leaving herpetologists with an unclear picture of how reptiles are faring in the world. Currently, 1,677 reptiles have been assessed (less than 20 percent of the total number of reptile species known) with 293 added this year.
Governments, public failing to save world's species
(11/04/2009) According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) 2008 report, released yesterday, 36 percent of the total species evaluated by the organization are threatened with extinction. If one adds the species classified as Near Threatened, the percentage jumps to 44 percent—nearly half.
Photos: Palm oil threatens Borneo's rarest cats
(11/04/2009) Oil palm expansion is threatening Borneo's rarest wild cats, reports a new study based on three years of fieldwork and more than 17,000 camera trap nights. Studying cats in five locations—each with different environments—in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, researchers found that four of five cat species are threatened by habitat loss due to palm oil plantations. "No other place has a higher percentage of threatened wild cats!" Jim Sanderson, an expert on the world's small cats, told Mongabay.com. Pointing out that 80 percent of Borneo's cats face extinction, Sanderson said that "not one of these wild cats poses a direct threat to humans."
California's great white sharks are a distinct population
(11/04/2009) Researchers have long thought that white sharks migrated across oceans, but a new study in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B shows that the population in the northeastern Pacific Ocean, along California, hasn't mixed with other white sharks for tens of thousands of years.
Gucci drops APP in pledge to save rainforests
(11/03/2009) One of the world's largest and most prestigious fashion brands has stated it will stop sourcing paper from Indonesian forests and will drop Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) as a supplier, which has become notorious for tropical deforestation. The move comes after pressure from the Rainforest Action Network (RAN) on the fashion industry to stop sourcing paper from threatened rainforests for their shopping bags.
Wolves keep forests nutrient-rich
(11/02/2009) As hunting wolves is legal again in two American states, Montana and Idaho, researchers have discovered an important role these large predators play in creating nutrient hotspots in northern forest environments. Researchers from Michigan Technological University found that when wolves take down their prey—in this case moose—they do more than simply keep a check on herbivore populations. The corpses of wolf-hunted moose create hotspots of forest fertility by enriching the soil with biochemicals. Due to this sudden up-tick in nutrients, microbial and fungal growth explodes, in turn providing extra nutrients for plants near the kill.
Goodbye, snows of Kilimanjaro
(11/02/2009) The most recent survey among the ice fields atop Mount Kilimanjaro found that the ice atop Africa's most famous mountain could be gone in twenty years—and maybe even sooner. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science the study was conducted by a team of researchers who first measured the glaciers in 2000. They discovered that between 1912 and 2007, 85 percent of the ice that covered Mount Kilimanjaro vanished. When using 2000 as baseline the mountain has lost 26 percent of its ice.

A Goal Based Approach To Debt Management
Good debt management advice is hard to come by.
Traditional financial wisdom states that certain debts, such as mortgage and student loans are good debts, while most other debts such as credit card debt, car loans, etc… are bad debts.
On the other hand, many Personal Finance bloggers express the opinion that ALL debt is essentially bad, to be paid down as quickly as possible, sometimes even at the cost of establishing a sustainable savings plan for the household.
So what is the truth?
Credit Scores Matter More Than You Think
Credit scores are important when you want to borrow money or get a new credit card.
They're important when you want to rent an apartment or a house, since the landlord will usually run a credit and background check on you before they'll hand over the keys. If you thought all those people checking their free FICO credit score were wasting their time, you might be surprised to hear that it affects more than loans.
If you thought the importance of your credit stopped there, unfortunately, you're wrong. There are several places where your credit score and your credit history can have an affect, even though it has nothing to do with you borrowing money.
Car Allowance Rebate System – Cash For Clunkers
In late June President Obama signed into law the the Car Allowance Rebate System or as it's also known: Cash for Clunkers. This is a program that encourages people to trade in their cars for more efficient models. It also helps to stimulate the economy (similar to the first time home buyer tax credit) at a time when car sales are lagging.
The program runs from July 1st through November 1st 2009. Cars traded in during that time could be eligible for a credit of either $3500 or $4500 depending on the car and the increase in mileage the new vehicle provides.

With memories of last July's Cougar Ace disaster presumably heavy on their minds, Mazda just shipped out their first batch of new Mazda CX-9 CUVs from Hiroshima to North America. This time the crossing will be aboard the Coral Leader car carrier. It left Hiroshima yesterday for its voyage to California via Tacoma. The ship is expected to reach the U.S. before the New Year. With the Cougar Ace's payload of Mazda3s and CX-7s ultimately written off, we can only hope that this batch of vehicles, which includes the new 7-passenger CX-9, will have a much less eventful crossing. Bon Voyage.
The two-row, 5-passenger CX-7 has been something of a hit for Mazda with its stylish good looks and equally attractive combination of good performance and affordable pricing. The bigger CX-9 is hoping to be just as endearing in the ever more popular three-row segment. When they finally hit U.S. showrooms in late January, the sticker on the CX-9s will read $29,035 and up. That's the base price for the front-drive Sport model. There's also going to be Touring and Grand Touring versions with awd available across all trim levels. No matter which one you pick, you get Ford's award-winning corporate 3.5-liter V6 mated to a 6-speed auto trans. In this Mazda CUV, the engine is rated at 250 hp. It was designed primarily for the U.S., but it is also rumored to be on its way to Australia in 2008.

"I knew the score was kind of up there a little bit, so I thought I'd have fun with it. I guess it would have been a little nicer if the goal was a big goal."
