The present paper describes an observation on humans taking meat from the kill of lions (Panthera leo Linnaeus). This behaviour is common between large carnivores such as lions, spotted hyenas (Crocuta crocuta), African wild dogs (Lycaon pictus) and cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus), occurring both intra- and interspecific. It is then known as kleptoparasitism, the stealing of food from one individual by another (Macdonnald, 2001). Scientific reports are available on lions kleptoparasitizing hyaenas (Cooper, 1991) and vice versa (Höner et al., 2002; Trinkel & Kastberger, 2005). In addition, some authors reported spotted hyenas stealing prey from African wild dogs (Carbone, Du Toit & Gordon, 1997; Gorman et al., 1998; Carbone et al., 2005). Indirect evidence suggests that cheetahs may be kleptoparasitized by hyaenas and lions (Durant, 2000).
Study area
The observation was recorded on March 28, 2006 in the central region of Bénoué National Park situated in the North Province of Cameroon. Bénoué NP occupies 1800 km2 and its vegetation is associated with a Sudan-savannah climate (White, 1983) as is its diverse fauna. A small population of 30 lions is believed to be present in the park (De Iongh, Bauer & Hamling, 2005). They prey mostly on middle and large sized prey species such as kob (Kobus kob kob), bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus), waterbuck (Kobus ellipsiprymnus unctuosus), western Hartebeest (Alcelaphus buselaphus major), Lord Derby's eland (Taurotragus derbianus gigas) and oribi (Ourebia ourebi; Breuer, 2005; pers. comm. Wiggers) among other available prey species in the park.
The park is not fenced and villages are situated at the boundary of the park. A study was conducted, where 114 households, seventeen park staff and seven professional hunter guides were interviewed around Bénoué NP, who confirmed that illegal activities (e.g. poaching) take place in the park and surrounding hunting zones (Weladji, Moe & Vedeld, 2003).
At 9.30 hours, two adult radio-collared lions (male and female) were observed feeding on a carcass of western hartebeest. On approach by car, both lions fled into a thicket approximately 25 m from the observers, where they remained hidden until the observers left about 2 h later. Visual examination of the carcass showed that there was still a considerable amount of meat present on the remains for the lions to feed upon (Fig. 1).
In the afternoon, around 17.00 hours, we returned to the site for further observations. Near the carcass we encountered several persons, who ran away and hided in the dense vegetation upon our arrival. The lions, obviously disturbed, had left the carcass and were not observed again. Cut marks made clear the carcass was stripped from all meat with a knife. The only remains left were the head, the feet and few remains from the skin (Fig. 2). In addition, freshly cut leaves were found at the remains, suggesting they wrapped the meat in leaves for transport.
In the pictures a wooden pole is visible. Similar poles may be used for wire snares by poachers. If the pole would have been attached to a wire, this would have completely altered the interpretation of our observation. However, after thorough investigation, we found that no wire was attached to the pole or to the hartebeest. Also we found more poles in the surrounding, as it is close to the river and people frequent this place to cut fuel wood and to fish.
In this case, the lions may have been chased off by people who took over their prey. However, we have no direct proof and the lions might also have left their kill before local people took the meat. This act of meat taking at least deprived the lions of their follow-up meal. This role-reversal shows another aspect of human-lion conflict, lions commonly being the aggressor attacking livestock. Scientific evidence for recent 'human kleptoparasitism' in Africa is limited and based on very few peer reviewed articles. In fact, our search only found a single publication for Africa. A study in Uganda describes nine reports in which humans actively scavenged meat from lions and leopards (Treves & Naughton-Treves, 1999). This may suggest that this phenomenon is common in Africa and several anecdotal reports indicate that the practice may still be wide-spread. For instance, it is thought to be a common practice with the nomadic Mbororo in North Cameroon (pers. comm. Gomse). And in the Maswa Game Reserve, Tanzania even park staff has been reported to participate in obtaining meat from lion kills (pers. comm. Whitman). In remote (park) areas in the northern region of the Central African Republic, illegal diamond extraction activities are thought to attract local people who are reported to scavenge on kills of large carnivores. Noteworthy, one village in the Central African Republic is known to allow lions living in their surroundings, solely for easy access to meat (pers. comm. Chardonnet).
The importance of this human behaviour in relation to conservation may be that humans receive benefits from their co-existence with lions and other large carnivores, possibly influencing their attitude and behaviour towards these large carnivores. However, more research is needed to prove this relationship.
Far more peer reviewed publications are available suggesting kleptoparasitism by ancient man (Bunn & Kroll, 1986; Bunn & Ezzo, 1993; Oliver, 1994 and Mussi & Palombo, 2001). Most of these publications refer to hominids from the (Plio-) Pleistocene and confirm that humans have included meat in their diet in an opportunistic way via hunting, searching for carcasses, scavenging leftovers and maybe even displacing other carnivores and stealing their prey.
The phenomenon may have been a survival strategy of ancient humans that still exists in the present day Africa as a strategy to obtain additional animal protein. As this 'human-kleptoparasitism' seems to take place regularly in a large part of Africa, the question arises at what scale it occurs and what its consequences are for conservation (in addition to conventional poaching). Observing the possible importance of humans scavenging on kills of large predators for obtaining meat and the unknown impact on large predators, more research into this phenomenon is required.

Great composition again.
Incredible! Golden Star ~ I had to study the map closely to see if this was real or not ~ well done William
Hi Andrew and Nick, thanks for your comments. Studying the map won't help as these two blocks of student residences have only just been built. what drew me tot htis shot was the parallel between the wood and dark metal/window in the stairs and the block seen through the window.
very impressive William.
Welcome to my pictures Gradus, thanks for your kind comments. All the best
Really great work, William-- how you've lined up the building outside to sit snugly in that window frame is perrrrrfection, and the way the lines sweep out to the corners of the photo while incorporating all those satisfying blocks and steps... Wow!
Oh I see what you mean! I saw the echo in the shape of the building, but even the charcoal and beige stripes are repeated in the stairs and the outside view. Very well caught!
But still great pics! :)

15.8% of Young People Still Out of Work in January
Generation Opportunity releases Millennial Jobs Report
Washington, DC – (2/7/14) – Generation Opportunity, a national, non-partisan youth advocacy organization, is announcing its Millennial Jobs Report for January 2014. The data is non-seasonally adjusted (NSA) and is specific to 18-29 year olds:
Evan Feinberg, President of Generation Opportunity, issued the following statement:
"Young Americans can thank Obamacare for such a bleak jobs picture. The Congressional Budget Office wasn't lying when it reported Obamacare will reduce the American workforce by an additional 2 million jobs over the next three years.
"15.8% of us are still out of work and we have almost nothing to show for it – fewer people have health insurance now than in 2009."
Generation Opportunity is a national, non-partisan organization advocating for economic opportunity for young people through less government and more freedom.

Today the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in U.S. vs. Windsor that the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is unconstitutional by depriving gay, lesbian, same-sex, and LGBT couples from marrying the person that they love. The decision was authored by Justice Anthony Kennedy, which he principally noted that: "The federal statute is invalid, for no legitimate purpose overcomes the purpose and effect to disparage and to injure those whom the State, by its marriage laws, sought to protect in personhood and dignity." This decision is a landmark decision which will now allow gay and lesbian couples to share federal benefits and protections (as well as state benefits and protections as provided under state law). What is also foreseeable is that this should also allow U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, temporary nonimmigrants, and other foreigners to seek federal immigration benefits for their gay and lesbian spouses. So, the question now is what benefits under U.S. Immigration Law could this potentially benefit same-sex, gay, lesbian and LGBT couples now that DOMA is overturned? Here's a brief list of the possible changes:
The full reach of the DOMA decision will be flushed out in the coming days, weeks and months ahead. The above list is not exhaustive and will be updated in the future. I am sure that USCIS, CBP, ICE, and the Department of State should be issuing new policy guidance in the future. But today is a great day for America where full rights, liberties and benefits under the law are equal.

Hi there,
I have gone through this forum to read similar topics and try doing some suggestions like - re-saving permalinks, re-activating all plugins individually to look out for a culprit, optimizing my DS tables and still to no avail. Even sent a ticket to my hosting provider and I have been told that it has to do with plugin itself.
Now, the gallery images are showing up just fine... it's just that the individual images have all of a sudden been replaced with "no images found" ??
[singlepic id=389 w=320 h=240 float=left]
NextGEN Gallery by Photocrati Version 2.7.6
I wonder if that has anything to do with a conflict with permalinks+NextGen code because images are inside each gallery and it's ok when I pull it out to view in the browser?? or with the 'Exclude' from gallery???
Really need this sorted as there are 100s of images on my site and I'm loosing business so advice would be much appreciated here thanks...

SAN FRANCISCO -- Russ Ortiz has a torn tendon in his
throwing elbow that likely will sideline San Francisco's
right-hander for the remainder of the season.
Ortiz was placed on the disabled list Tuesday for the third time
this year and had already missed 73 games because of injuries to
his pitching arm before his latest setback. He was scheduled to be
examined by team orthopedist Ken Akizuki later Tuesday and possibly
another doctor before deciding whether to undergo surgery to repair
what athletic trainer Dave Groeschner described as a "significant
tear" on the inside of his elbow.
Ortiz left his start Monday at Florida in the fifth inning
because of a strained elbow. He had an MRI exam and X-rays Tuesday.
"I don't want to rule him out just yet," Groeschner said.
"I'm always concerned when a pitcher has an elbow injury."
Groeschner said there hasn't been any evidence that the
33-year-old Ortiz is doing something mechanically that has made him
more prone to arm injuries, which he hadn't dealt with before in
his 10-year big league career.
"He's pitched a long time," Groeschner said. "These things
happen to guys who pitch. He's in his 30s."
The Giants hadn't decided who would fill Ortiz's turn in the
rotation, which next comes up Saturday against the Milwaukee
Brewers. Pat Misch and Kevin Correia are candidates.
Ortiz's roster spot was filled by Tim Lincecum, who came off the
bereavement list to start the opener of a three-game series against
the Chicago Cubs.
Ortiz returned to the Giants for a second stint this season,
beginning the year as the club's fifth starter after working hard
during winter ball to remake himself after a bad year with Arizona
and Baltimore. He had last pitched for San Francisco in the 2002
World Series, when the Giants lost in seven games to the Angels.
He isn't ready to guess what his situation will be in 2008. For
now, he is focused on getting fully healthy again -- however long
that might take.
Ortiz was on the disabled list from May 2-20 because of a nerve
problem in his elbow, then again from June 7 to Aug. 9 due to a
right forearm strain.
"Every issue I've had has been different," he said. "I
thought I was on my way. I felt good after the Atlanta start coming
into this [last] start. Yesterday I went out for the fifth and I
could barely break a pane of glass."
In addition, right-handed reliever Randy Messenger was scheduled
for surgery Wednesday on his broken left hand. He will have a screw
inserted near the base of his thumb. The pitcher said he would have
needed a full-arm cast had he not opted for surgery.
Messenger, who underwent an MRI and CT scan Tuesday, should be
able to recover more quickly after the procedure, perhaps resuming
throwing after about a week of rest.
"We don't want to rush him back," Groeschner said.

Oh great internetmenz, I need your help. My decade old math skills are failing me.
I'm attempting to rotate an image towards a point using pygame. The point is the mouse cursor in this case. Here is an example of my issue (this is only a snippet):
src_image, rect = pygame.image.load('c:\\testimage.png')
screen = pygame.display.get_surface()
# Example values
player_angle = 0
player_position = (100,100)
# Get the mouse point (Something between (0,0) and (1024,800)).
mouse_point = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
# Set the old_center for repositioning after the rotate.
old_center = self.rect.center
# *** Heres my problem, how do I determine what the angle is from the player_angle
# to the mouse_point with only these three peices of information.
angle_to_mouse = ??
image = pygame.transform.rotate(self.src_image, angle_to_mouse)
rect = image.get_rect()
rect.center = old_center
How do I determine the angle from the center point of the player_point to the mouse_point?

Never used pygame, but what you are looking for is calculating an angle given a difference vector, in your case player_position - mouse_point. This will give you a (relative) x and y which you feed to atan2. Search the python math lib for this function, I bet it exists. This will give you the angle in radians which you can then feed to the rotate function (angle_to_mouse). Don't know what coordinate system you are using (left/right-handed), so probably you will have to negate y prior to the atan2 call (or negate angle_to_mouse).

The Youth Ministry program is awesome, the adviser is also really great. He is there to answer any questions and help you get on track with things. I wouldn't change Barclay for anything... academics wise.
Professors are awesome! They are like a friend but also give you structure. The workload is more in some classes over others which is nice. I tend to study in my dorm room, but the library is very popular to study and it's very welcoming.
The teachers and staff are amazing, they are always there for you no matter what. They are always askign about school and your personal life.

:: how nintendo are you? ::
You are an assassin.
That means you are a proffessional and do your
job without mixing any emotions in it. In your
life you have probably been hurt many times and
have gotten some mental scars. This results in
you being distant from people. Though many
think that you are evil, you are not. What you
really are is a person, trying to forget your
pain and past. You are the person who never
seems to care and that is why being an assassin
fits you good. Atleast, that's what people
think. Even if you don't care that much for
your victims, you still have the ability to
care and to generally feel. It is not lost,
just a little forgotten. In crowds you tend to
not get to noticed, and dress in black or other
discrete colours. You don't being in the
spotlight and wish people would just leave you
alone. But once you do get close to someone you
have a hard time letting go and get real down
if you loose him/her.

"Chilling (and complete)"
Although it doesn't say so, this edition of "Jekyll and Hyde" is unabridged; the only thing missing, as far as I can tell, are a couple of chapter titles. (The chapters themselves are intact.) The reading by Ian Holm is superb: dark and dismal, giving full voice to Utterson's frustration and Jekyll's despair. The coarseness and cruelty of Hyde's voice is especially chilling. This is by far the best of the four audio versions of this story I've tried.

We can start to dig ourselves out of hole by building houses people need
Wherever there is demand for homes, planning must be granted to help create jobs writes Colm McCarthy
Published 21/07/2013 | 05:00
EUROZONE leaders have maintained, since the first Greek bailout back in May 2010 that suitable adjustments by the distressed members – principally budgetary tightening and bank rescue financed locally – would ensure a successful emergence from the crisis. The initial policy foresaw no haircuts for bank creditors or sovereign bondholders in Greece or even when Ireland and Portugal joined the bailout club. After the Greek sovereign default, the largest in history, and the chaotic bank defaults in Cyprus, this policy stance has been abandoned (without apology, of course). A series of European Central Bank initiatives, including extensive liquidity provision to banks and the promise of sovereign bond purchases has helped to contain the crisis, which threatened to boil over last summer in Italy and Spain.
The current eurozone survival plan includes, it would appear, the belief on the part of the German government that Greece will now be able to pay its debts and that the Greek economy will begin to recover. German finance minister Wolfgang Schauble ruled out the need for any further Greek debt relief on a visit to Athens last Thursday. But economic output in Greece is expected to fall by at least another five per cent this year, over a quarter of the workforce is unemployed, the economy does not have an internationally competitive manufacturing or service sector and thus has no engine of recovery.
It is the universal opinion in the financial world, Herr Schauble excepted, that there will be another large haircut for Greece's creditors and this is reflected in Greek sovereign bond prices. But there can be no talk of further Greek debt relief, however inevitable, since the German election is due on September 22 and the voters are not to be frightened. They are already under the impression that Greece has been receiving large handouts from Germany and persuaded that no more is either deserved or necessary.
There have been no transfers from German taxpayers to Greece, or to any other troubled eurozone country for that matter. Greece has received large loans from official lenders, including the IMF, EU institutions and individual European countries but no budgetary transfers whatsoever. All of the official lenders were spared any writedowns during the last Greek default, which applied haircuts only to private sector lenders, mainly banks, insurance companies and pension funds, some German but others from around the world. Thus the German treasury has paid not a single euro to Greece, nor has it thus far written down a single euro on any lending to Greece. That the German electorate has been persuaded otherwise is a tribute to the German spin-doctoring profession, and to rogue elements in the German economics profession.
The problem for Herr Schauble and his government colleagues is that the next Greek default cannot be confined to private sector lenders, since there are now so few of them. Next time, the official lenders, including Germany, will be in the firing line. This cannot be admitted prior to the election. Nor can the likelihood of a similar outcome in Portugal, where the government has struggled to meet deficit-cutting targets, the economy is far from recovery and where default in some form looks unavoidable. Greece and Portugal are small countries. The real nightmare for Germany and the other creditor countries, whose banks and fund managers hold troubled assets in southern Europe, is that neither Spain nor Italy appears likely to grow out of their banking and debt crises. Spain's banking system remains fragile, the public finances are overstretched, the economy continues to contract and the government is mired in a deep corruption scandal. Italy has an even bigger public debt burden and no durable government has yet been formed. Italy could be headed for another general election with no guarantee of a stable government emerging. Unless Italy and Spain can find some early formula for a return to economic growth, their debt burdens too could prove unsustainable. There are just nine weeks to go to German polling day and the bond markets can perhaps be kept sedated until then. The sedatives consists of cheap ECB liquidity, regular hints that this will continue for quite some time, and the possibility of the ECB buying Italian and Spanish bonds.
Greece has already failed to complete its first bailout, which ended in default. The second looks headed for the same fate and Portugal, due to exit bailout in mid-2014, now looks extremely unlikely to deliver. This leaves Ireland, due to exit at the end of 2013 and expected to survive without official lender assistance thereafter. The Irish Government is scheduled to introduce the budget for 2014 on October 15, two months earlier than usual. The public are normally spared pre-budget speculation until the autumn but those days are gone and the budget rumour season has already commenced. Government ministers are already promising 'stimulus' measures and the opposition are demanding that the €3.1bn in tax increases and expenditure cuts required under the EU/IMF rescue programme be abandoned.
The Central Statistics Office has just announced that at the end of March, the Government's gross debt (including advance borrowing, held in cash, of about €25bn) had already reached €204bn.
Net of cash, the debt will probably exceed 140 per cent of national income by the year's end. Whatever the planned deficit for next year, it will be added to this enormous figure. The sustainability of Ireland's debt, whether next year's borrowing is the planned €7.5bn, a little more or a little less, is not greatly affected by whatever decisions are taken in October. There will be another large addition to outstanding debt by the end of next year.
As the IMF pointed out in their most recent assessment of Ireland's debt sustainability, a zero or low rate of economic growth over the next few years will see the debt total, and the ratio of debt to national income, continue to rise.
They are too polite to say so but the IMF are clearly not convinced that the Irish sovereign debt – bearing in mind the substantial private sector external debt contracted via the bank credit bubble – can be serviced given the depressed economic outlook. Many financial commentators also doubt that the prospective debt level is sustainable. Only an early return of economic growth, at a high rate and sustained for several years, would alter this picture. If you think this is a racing certainty, then it is reasonable to add a billion or two to the overall debt mountain in pursuit of 'stimulus'. If you think that Ireland is a basket case anyway and that default is inevitable, the same conclusion follows.
An intermediate position is also available. There is a sporting chance, if the right policies are followed, that the budget deficit could be cut to zero over the next couple of years and that the country could return to some kind of solvency in the public finances. The best way to scupper this prospect is to go for some gimmicky stimulus aimed at creating short-term and once-off construction jobs, based on extra debt. Construction spending does not create substantial permanent (or even temporary) employment. Borrowing money to build stuff that exceeded what was needed was pretty much what got us into this mess. It is depressing that last week's job creation targets announced by the Government were based yet again on a boost to construction, financed by letting the already excessive and unsustainable national debt grow faster.
Here's a plan which will cost the Exchequer nothing – boost construction employment, and make lots of young potential house-buyers happy. There is an emerging shortage in the Dublin area of three and four-bedroomed family homes and prices for second-hand versions are rising. There is also a plentiful supply of buildable land close enough to the city. There are still farms inside the M50!
There is no shortage of labour or of materials. There are even a few house-builders left standing willing to have a go! There is, however, a ludicrous shortage of planning permission in the Dublin area – one of the lowest-density cities in this part of the world. Of course, there are empty and unsold houses throughout the country but the demand is not there. The policy of letting the builders build only where they could get planning permission has been tried and the results are clear. Wherever demand emerges for housing, in Dublin or anywhere else, the Government should grant the permission. Jobs created for free!

"-Layout worked well for our picture (elongated) -Customized the font type at the base of the photo with our family name -Used rounded corners, which added a really nice touch -Snowflake detail was sweet and did not overwhelm the picture -Felt quality was basically in line with the cards we also ordered from Minted. This was a good value for the price."
"This card turned out better than expected! I am very impressed with how thick the card is. It's not your typical flimsy photo card. I also loved how I could change the type and size of font on the card."

Hey all,
I'm using the Advanced Custom Fields plugin, and am having some trouble doing something that I would think would be relatively easy.
So, I've got a featured item with the typical description, title, and image. I also have some meta information that is irrelevant to this post. But, most importantly, I have a Start_date datepicker and an End_Date datepicker. I want to make a wp_query, and set
$featured_item = the_post() only if the Start_date is before or equal to today's date, and the End_Date is after or equal to today's date.
How should I go about doing this?

Life Story of My Life
posted by June 8 at 16:47 PMon
I'm sure all the Sloggers have been wondering, "Where is Mike in MO? Have his special Freaky Friday privileges been revoked?" No, I've been sequestered in a room with my boss all day going over shit so mundane I wouldn't bore my worst enemy with it.
Which brings me to the nature of the headline. The story of my life is: sad irony.
Two weeks ago I was so bored with my job I accepted a new position with more responsibility. I thought, "I love slogging and reading ThinkProgress all day and geting paid for it, but the grown-up thing to do is take on more shit and get paid."
Sure enough, now I'm busy as hell, I never get to slog, and to top it all off, I am chosen as a "prolific commentor" and bestowed a rare privilege to Slog, BUT I CAN'T! I'm so jealous of all the fun my fellow Freaky Friday Sloggers have been having.
I only hope I'm unemployeed next time I'm handed the keys to The Slog…

After my very inspiring Saturday, I spent Sunday cutting into some of my pieces of jersey. By the end of the day I had pieces cut out for three t-shirts, including one from the fabric that I bought on Saturday.
Last night, in between baking a special treat, I spent some time stitching up one of them – and of course the one I chose to do first was the new fabric!
It took most of the evening (in between other things), because I took my time and carefully matched the stripes down the side seams (in all honesty, with varying success). Can you see the side seam in the picture below? Hopefully only just!
The fabric wasn't quite wide enough to make the sleeves full length, so I decided to try making them hit just above the elbow, which i'm really happy with. That little bit of extra warmth but without the annoyance I get around the elbow with 3/4 length sleeves.
I don't remember what makes up this fabric and can't find it on the Tessuti site, but it's really comfy to wear and seems pretty warm, so success!
This shirt is made using a slightly modified version of the pattern I've previously traced off a t-shirt. I've made some others between the ones I've blogged and this one, so I really need to get around to taking some photos so I can catalogue the changes I've done to improve the pattern (and the mistakes I've made!)
9 Comments
The t-shirt looks lovely- stripes are perfect for that V-neckband. And you've done a great job of matching the stripes!↓
You have perfected 'strip-matching' – well done! Love the wide band detail on the neckline…↓
Rachel, you are so clever. Love how you did the neckline. Can't wait to see what the other two T-shirts look like! Caroline↓
Very nice work on that t-shirt!!↓
It's so pretty! Did you still want me to bring the renfrew Friday?↓
Great t-shirt. I'm curious about how you cut the binding, and if it is cut across the grain, how it is stabilised.↓
The binding is cut with the stretch going along the length, as it's then stretched into the neckline so it sits flat. It's not stabilised with anything, but is folded in half. I have pattern pieces for the binding on this style of t-shirt, to give both the V at the front and also at the shoulder seams there's some shaping too. If there's any interest I can scan the pieces and the shape of the neckline if anyone is interested in adapting a t-shirt pattern to having the neckline (and/or seeing how it goes together)↓
So cute! I wish I could find some good t-shirt knits to make some myself!↓
That's an awesome T-shirt. I love what you did with the collar panel. The whole things looks incredibly professional xx↓

tumor that forms when two types of cells in the brain, called oligodendrocytes and astrocytes, rapidly increase in number to form a mass. These brain cells are known as glial cells, which normally protect and support nerve cells in the brain. Because an oligoastrocytoma is made up of a combination of two cell types, it is known as a mixed glioma.[1] An oligoastrocytoma is described as anaplastic when the tumor grows quickly and the cancer cells within the tumor have the potential to spread into surrounding brain tissue or to more distant parts of the body. Oligoastrocytomas usually occur in a part of the brain called the cerebrum and are diagnosed in adults between the ages of 30 and 50.[2] The exact cause of this condition is unknown.[3][2]Anaplastic oligoastrocytoma is a brain

China's Dalian Bourse Plans Coke, Coking Coal Futures
Dalian Commodity Exchange plans to introduce coke futures this year and is studying plans for coking coal contracts as consumption for the raw materials rises in China, the world's biggest steelmaker.
"Due to a combination of factors, the price of coke and coking coal this year fluctuated a lot," Liu Xingqiang, the director of the bourse, China's largest derivatives market, said at a conference in the city today. "The industry's need for a risk transfer is very strong.
Dalian Commodity Exchange joins Singapore in pushing futures for bulk commodities, as demand for steel rebounds with the global economic recovery. BHP Billiton Ltd., the world's largest exporter of coking coal, this year won two price increases for the material from Asian mills after dropping annual contracts for quarterly agreements.
"It gives participants an opportunity to hedge some of their purchases and protect the downside." Andrew Driscoll, head of resources research at CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, said by telephone. "A lot of the long term contracts are fixed in volumes but not prices, so futures will provide the industry with ways to hedge their positions."
Prices of coking coal traded in Asia rose to $225 a ton for the July quarter, up from $200 in the previous quarter, and compared with annual prices of $129 in 2009, according to Deutsche Bank AG. Prices could fall in the fourth quarter and into the first half of 2011 as global steel demand could "decelerate and potentially contract," the bank said in a June 30 report.
Trading Volume
Futures trading in China, the third-largest economy, jumped 47 percent in the first half from a year ago, according to data compiled by the Futures Industry Association, as the government cede control of prices of some commodities and allow more market participants.
The Chinese government maintains controls of prices of commodities including electricity and fuel and imposes export and import limits on products such as minor metals to prevent inflation.
CME Group Inc., the world's largest futures exchange, predicts "great growth" in Asian derivatives as the economy grows. Dalian Commodity Exchange may introduce energy, coking coal and live-hog futures contracts to spur trading volume, Liu said in October last year.
Still, trading volume on the futures contracts may take a while to pick up, according to Driscoll.
"A lot of producers and consumers have been dealing directly with each other for a number of years. They're set in their ways of doing business," said Driscoll.
China's coking coal imports may reach the second highest on record this year as domestic production can't meet demand from steelmakers, Citigroup Inc. said on April 22.

The Tin Roof Blowdown
The Tin Roof Blowdown
A Dave Robicheaux Novel
Simon & Schuster, Hardcover, 9781416548485, 384pp.
Publication Date: July 17, 2007
In the waning days of summer, 2005, a storm with greater impact than the bomb that struck Hiroshima peels the face off southern Louisiana.
This is the gruesome reality Iberia Parish Sheriff's Detective Dave Robicheaux discovers as he is deployed to New Orleans. As James Lee Burke's new novel, The Tin Roof Blowdown, begins, Hurricane Katrina has left the commercial district and residential neighborhoods awash with looters and predators of every stripe. The power grid of the city has been destroyed, New Orleans reduced to the level of a medieval society. There is no law, no order, no sanctuary for the infirm, the helpless, and the innocent. Bodies float in the streets and lie impaled on the branches of flooded trees. In the midst of an apocalyptical nightmare, Robicheaux must find two serial rapists, a morphine-addicted priest, and a vigilante who may be more dangerous than the criminals looting the city.
In a singular style that defies genre, James Lee Burke has created a hauntingly bleak picture of life in New Orleans after Katrina. Filled with complex characters and depictions of people at both their best and worst, The Tin Roof Blowdown is not only an action-packed crime thriller, but a poignant story of courage and sacrifice that critics are already calling Burke's best work.
James Lee Burke, a rare winner of two Edgar Awards, and named Grand Master by the Mystery Writers of America, is the author of thirty previous novels and two collections of short stories, including such New York Times bestsellers as The Glass Rainbow, Swan Peak, The Tin Roof Blowdown, Last Car to Elysian Fields and Rain Gods. He lives in Missoula, Montana.

Gov. touts bike apparel expansionJuly 09,2013DERBY Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin says the expansion of a bicycle apparel company in Derby shows how the state is adding jobs in the Northeast Kingdom, traditionally the states most economically challenged region.
Shumlin made the comments Monday at the groundbreaking in Derby for an $8 million expansion by the company Louis Garneau.
Currently the company employs about 90 people in Newport.
Once the expansion is complete in 2014 the company is expected to add another 10 employees to start and at least 10 more in the future.
Shumlin said Louis Garneau, who is Canadian, was on a cycling team in Stowe years ago and he and his wife started a small cycling clothing manufacturing business in their garage.
They later expanded in Newport and now theyre expanding again.MORE IN Vermont NewsPHILADELPHIA Vermonts delegation to the Democratic National Convention took center stage...

Waxing lyrical
February 16, 2012
Manchester men had chests, stomachs, shoulders, backs and armpits waxed to raise £9,000 for a toddler with a life-threatening muscular condition.
The waxing was at the Hale home of Jonathan Dee, whose one-year-old son David suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
The £9,000 raised will go towards experimental drug trials for a cure.
Mr Dee was joined by supporters Jamie Moryoussef, Jeremy Dee, Jonathan Epstein, James Glaskie, Nik Garston, Jonny Kay, Eli Portnoy and Barrie Taube.
A man was sponsored for £2k to have his chest waxed
A last-minute recruit was Ilan Lieberman, who agreed to have his chest waxed if he could attract £2,000 in sponsorship. He did.

Although researchers have long argued in favor of off-peak transit service, studies that have empirically estimated its benefits regarding revenue generation, trip diversions, and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission are rare. This study provides important evidence about the benefits of off-peak commuter rail service by focusing on the Pascack Valley line in New Jersey, where off-peak service was introduced in October 2007. The research involved two focus groups and an onboard survey of passengers. Benefits were estimated regarding additional revenue generation and reduction in vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and GHG emission. The research shows that the new off-peak service potentially reduced VMT by more than 12 million annually due to diversions from other modes. Although diversions from other modes resulted in a substantial reduction in GHG emissions, due to the additional diesel fuel used by the new trains, the net GHG savings were in the range of 28–49 %. The research further shows that both peak period and off-peak riders benefited from the new off-peak service. Evidence is found about an increase in new transit riders and a modest increase peak period usage because of the off-peak service.

EMPORIA, Kan. (AP) _ The Kansas Hall of Fame has selected
renowned Emporia newspaper editor William Allen White to its 2012
class of laureates.
The announcement was made Wednesday at the William Allen White
