Starring Paul F. Tompkins as that married medium Frank Doyle. Also starring James Urbaniak, Kate Micucci, Janet Varney, and Jeri Ryan. Recorded January 7, 2011.
To do a Beyond Belief without Paget Brewster's Sadie is a risky proposition.
It is also an opportunity to explore who Frank is without Sadie. To see who he was and how she changed him. So a glimpse into his past was exciting to write. We've character histories for our married mediums in mind for a while, so it was nice to play with some of it. See how the people in Frank's life paved the way for Sadie to be his one and only.
As we came to the characters of Father Lancaster, Sister Kate and Sister Mary Torquemada it felt as much like Frank was a guest on their show as the reverse. The successful spinoff property returning to the show from whence it spun. It made me want to see this ragtag gritty group of self-righteous tough churchies fighting demons some more. An exploitation house Charlie's Angels vs Demons kind of thing. It was fun to hang a lot of that tough-as-nails, hard drinking demon-fighting nun stuff on guest star Jeri Ryan. For such a kind and genuine person, she pulls off badass genre tough guy like nobody else. It had been too long since we had Kate Micucci on the show. It was fun to write her as a bloodthirsty version of herself. And you'll do no better in life than to imagine a role just right for a grizzled 70's character actor and give that role to James Urbaniak. I recommend you try it. Who else did I love in that episode? Janet Varney? Yes. Janet Varney. Always a breath of fresh air as Donna Henderson the vampire mom. A show I would totally watch.

The AMA has announced its AMA Motorcyclist of the Year, and the organization that represents all American motorcyclists has chosens Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California for its yearly distinction. Using the award as a platform to denounce the outgoing Governor, the AMA in its announcement chastised Gov. Schwarzenegger for his signing of California Senate Bill 435, which brings EPA noise enforcement standards to the Golden State. We've already addressed here at A&R how California's adoption of this law essentially is a moot point legally, but the AMA's grandstanding on this issue smacks speaks to a larger issue that goes to the core of the organization.
Clearly unable to self-regulate and educate the very people it is supposed to represent, the AMA is instead more concerned with tar and feathering politicians and governmental agencies for addressing a growing issue that negatively affects the relationship between motorcyclists and the general population. The simple truth is that a small portion of our community feel the need to compensate for their short-comings by running straight-through exhaust pipes that not only annoy normal citizens, but other motorcyclists as well. How is this an issue that 99% of motorcyclists can't get behind?
While the AMA has some good ideas on how to measure and enforce lower sound levels from motorcycles, the organization's lack of anything resembling efficacy in getting those provisions adopted should not create an open license to lay the blame on others (well except maybe the MIC, which is just as culpable for this problem as the AMA). While it's easy to chastise Gov. Schwarzenegger for signing a bill into law, we think the AMA should take a harder look in the mirror on how motorcyclists created this problem for themselves, because in the end we're the ones that ruined a good thing.
AMA press release after the jump, but for the record we would have given the award to Erik Buell…but hey that's just our opinion.

edited July 2011 in Non-Animal Collective Discussion
will someone please give me some of them so I can listen to it and decide if it's as awesome as I believe it may be???
http://www.mediafire.com/?auj25yme9zm their first CD, .zip format. I didn't put it up there, but that's where I got mine. Just so you know, they aren't perfect but have a great feel. I think most of us here would agree that their second album is a bit more solid than their first (or I hope so at least). The first is a solid place to start, though. [youtube] this is also a killer version of one of their new songs.
Soooooooooo Wini, what do you think?  I really like Andrews outfit in that perfomance. I wonder where he shops..
it is an adorable outfit. Have you seen the pictures of him wearing those wonderfully red and white verticle striped pants? I love those.
I have not.
i'm sorry, i've searched the internet for a while and couldn't find it again. I've seen far too many pictures of Andrew Wyngarden that aren't so easy to find. It's a very true statement when I say 'I have a crush on that man'. He really does have an excellent taste in exciting pants, though.
Noah look alike looks like Andrew too. Especially since their hair was the same length and is still the same length after NLA got it cut. Also, Congratulations is better than Oracular Spectacular. It's my opinion, but it's the truth.
it is the truth. you are right Grizzy. It is far better, more solid, consistent and fantastic.
Yeah. Oracular Spectacular seems really, really uneven in sound and style. It's like one of those albums where the artist adds a bunch of filler songs after their singles got really big. Minus The Handshake and The Youth, those songs are top notch.
I think Future Reflections is brilliant too. But other than that I agree with you. There are some other great moments but they lose their zest quickly.
MGMT sucks
What makes you say that? Was it Oracular? Or Congratulations? Have you listened to Siberean Breaks!? I showed my big sister Congratulations and she likes the Kids sort of stuff better.. but idk. I do think they have some talent in songwriting.. specially SB.
That's just like, your opinion, man.
mmm....It's Working video is up and out. Cool stuff there.
[quote="KidGrizzly"]That's just like, your opinion, man.[/quote] your obviously not a golfer
I think Maps thinks this is CA. xD I don't see any point whatsoever in saying something sucks to a bunch of people who like them. Be constructive at least.
haha! Oh good one, Shinsy! We certainly aren't into hating here. Constructive dislike is certainly welcome but blatant hate isn't really that useful. At least they didn't say anything mean. anyways. Have you guys watched the Its Working video yet? I think its pretty cool. THat's probably my least favorite song off the whole album so i'm bound not to be madly in love with it.
Not yet. Waiting for the new billing period to start! Tomorrow!
I saw it. It's not too bad, but not the best either.
yeah, I agree. I love when a video makes you like a song even more, that one certainly didn't. Brosport did for me, I think. Also. I'm still blown away by how amazing The Handshake and Future Reflections are. I mean, those two songs I could listen to over and over again for a very long time.
So since hearing Congratulations live, I've been listening to the album again and it's grown on me. I can really appreciate it when I'm laying in bed on a cool summers eve. =3 I get to see MGMT again tomorrow in Seattle! Can't wait!
Lucky thing! MGMT are cool kids. love em.
I would love to see them once but I think I blew too much money when I went and saw Ween to spend money on a trip to Boston... I got my Siberian Breaks (record store day) 12" single in the mail yesterday. Ordered it from Rough Trade. Its got some of the blue marbling, which is nice, I just wish it had more. Too bad my record player is temporarily broken because I can't wait to listen to it.
THAT STINKS THAT YOUR TURNTABLE IS BROKEN! Sorry caps.
it does stink! Luckily I know what is wrong with it (I think) and I can cheaply buy a part off the internet. Its just a matter of willing myself to spend money.
MGMT are okay. I hate it when they compare Animal Collective to them though. Animal Collective cannot be touched in the Indie music scene.
[quote="Immortal_Apathy"]MGMT are okay. I hate it when they compare Animal Collective to them though. Animal Collective cannot be touched in the Indie music scene. [/quote] Agreed! I think they are okay too listen too every once in a while. I think they are a tad bit overrated, most of their songs are about how good sex feels anyways. (Judging on every thing ive heard by them.)
they certainly aren't.......I mean...I think there is only one song that is related to sex? and it was one of the ones they got signed on their label for.... my favorite thing is the story of MGMT in regards to their first album. It makes it a very interesting piece of art. I was listening to Congratulations again today and was reminded by what a great album it is. Its wicked solid and has such a great feel and progression.
Maybe i shouldn't judge it so quickly then.
Listen to Indie Rokkers. Awesome song.
MGMT are magnifico. Congratulations has my vote for album of the year. and Siberian Breaks is outstanding. Such a beautiful well-written song. A lot of people knock Oracular Spectacular, but I think it's got some really great material. I agree that it is inconsistent and not as solid of an album. But I think that due to their "sound" evolving after they got signed they were kind of stuck with a few songs that didn't fit (Kids, Time to Pretend, maybe Electric Feel).
i listened to mgmt a lot more earlier on in this year. i was so pumped for congratulations, got it at coachella and was so sad that i was late for a signing. now i dont listen to them as much, but theyre still pretty cool
I hate to say it, but while I like a lot of their sounds and catchy melodies, every song fades into one another for me. I can hardly tell them apart.
while they do have other good stuff it is hard for me NOT to just put them down to the 3 biggie songs time 2 pretend / kids / electric feel (eel meal!) well mainly the first two... if everything they do otherwise or for now on is just pretty good at best they'll still have those songs... those songs, man!
I got tired of their hits from Oracular. But revisited Oracular and started a love affair with "The Youth" (if you like Tim and Eric, Eric directed the official video for them) and "Future Reflections". I really liked Congratulations and as a music snob I wanted to be elitist and dislike it, but it's pretty solid all the way through. As many have mentioned, Siberian Breaks is the strongest song on there. Edit: Just noticed that I could be taken out of context as saying I started a love affair with the youth. No pedo.
oh man... you should see the video that "Eric" guy directed for the band HEALTH i warned ye!
[quote="ArrogantBastard"]...and [I] started a love affair with "The Youth"...[/quote] I think there's a list for guys like you.
I like them a lot, but there ain't enough substancial for me to be obsessed. People have sometimes told me that animal collective tries to hard to be trippy or different. If anything that's MGMT. I'm not saying it's wrong or bad, I like them but everybody likes them and they do that if anyone does that. Animal collective just does what they want. Make your own rules. I remember seeing time to pretend on VH1 thinking "this is gonna be big", and now everybody knows them and wow.
I don't think MGMT tries to be trippy or different, I think they are just very much that way. I really have a lot of respect for them to I do agree that they lack some of the substance that Animal Collective has. They are also younger and are only on their second record, which I always picture as their first one since their first one was mainly comprised of older songs for them. I like them a lot and I think it's great that a lot of people like them because that means they have more financial support. I feel very much that their music is honest and genuine.
i feel like congrats was their 3rd and are soon to be on their 4th! climbing to new glows / orack specktack / grats! / next one! eyah! GLITTER PENIS haha!
I would definetly go see them. I would not pay over 40$ though. I would for AC though. 100$ is the limit for them as well as Phish.
Paid $70 for 10th row seats at Phish New Years '10 in Miami. Fucking nuts. Was that '09 or '10? I can't remember. Whenever they were here. Crazy night. Got in on the 29th for free!
I like MGMT. I think a lot of bands out there don't excite me like they do, they seem special, like AC. I like them enough and I bought their first to albums, which I thought were pretty good. If you take AC and their first two you have Danse and both of MGMT's albums are better than that in my opinion. However AC does feel more like a complete band, mainly because I can name all of the band members of AC. Do you feel as if Yeasayer, MGMT, And Animal Collective are close to the same genre, specifically the last two albums from each band, and that they put their own special flavor on it, not judging on how well it is done and which is better (AC is best).
i'd def. put danse above both MGMT albums! though i do love the 2 biggie songs on orack! KIDS+TIME TO PRETEND! some goodies on the rest of that album and the next one but to me they just can't live up to those 2 songs! can't!!!! flash delirium / siberian brakes are pretty damn cool though... and THE YOUTH! yeasayer was a good AC gripoff band! ... and i liked how they changed for the 2nd album... wonder what the 3rd will be like?
Danse isn't bad, it has some good tracks, I just find it not as good, in my opinion, as any other AC album except Hollin'.
def. better than holland and DEF better than frickin CRAPfire songs uh! how anyone puts campfire above holland let alone danse / indian is so beyond me! that i don't even find it of amusing!
Holland was way too lo-fi for my tastes, and like I said if I want early AC I put in Spirit or Danse. As for Campfire Songs I think it could have been fleshed out with more SOUND, it just is too quiet unless you just want to chill, but this is my opinion so don't you think I'am right OR wrong. Same is said for MGMT, Tigers and Sage both make good points both seem valid to me and lets leave it at that.
GO we are not on the same page when it comes to AC albums. I LOVE Campfire Songs so much and it is definitely above Holland and equal to or better than Danse. Not Indian though, I love Indian a lot.
Yeah, none of you are on my page... my page is William Shatner singing Mr. Tambourine Man over and over again, he just won't shut up.
No, but seriously. [img]http://mega-upload.fr/images/telecharger-mister-bob-tv-multi-tvrip-french_tmhri_4.jpg[/img] Like, I'm totally for cereal. BLAH!

Cast Brass Converted Gas Sconce Item # R8875
Circa 1905
When Pompeii and Herculaneum were discovered, the Classical Revival was born in Europe. When the United States declared independence and set up a Greek-style Democracy, the Classical Revival was born in America. The endless refined appeal of Classical design stretches across the 19th and 20th centuries, and encompasses variations like Beaux Arts, Neo-Classical, Rococo and Greek Revival. Design elements like coves and ogees are borrowed from ancient architecture, and ornaments are predominated by acanthus leaf, Greek key, egg and dart, and wave motifs. While most Classical Revival lighting was at home in municipal and public buildings, these impressive fixtures make great focal points for today's homes of any style.
- Historical Style: Classical Revival
- Originally, these were gas-powered (note the gas keys below sockets), but we restored them to be fully electric.
- Condition Notes: Well-preserved original polished brass finish.
- Bulbs not included.

Witnesses say a fight led to a slashing outside a Taunton Green apartment building. Some bystanders told police a group of men were standing around "giving each other Ric Flair chops" when they were assaulted by a 61-year-old with a razor.
TAUNTON — A city man was rushed to a Rhode Island Hospital after a slashing in downtown Taunton on Sunday night.
Taunton police arrested a 61-year-old man, charging him with assault with intent to murder and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Bernard Kellogg, of 9 Taunton Green, allegedly slashed the victim in the neck, leaving the man with a "severe laceration" that left a trail of blood from a white door at 9 Taunton Green to the yellow curb outside Santander Bank at 12 Taunton Green.
Police said the victim fled the scene of the attack on foot.
Taunton police were initially dispatched to a reported fight at 9 Taunton Green, after receiving numerous 911 calls describing a melee between Kellogg and a group of four men.
Taunton police talked to witnesses, who said Kellogg used a "straight razor" to slash the victim.
One witness among the group of four men told police that they had been "horsing around" and "giving each other Ric Flair chops" when one of the doors facing the street opened and a man began yelling at them.
The man, later identified as Kellogg, yelled at the four to quiet down and leave, before Kellogg charged at the victim holding the razor and sliced across the man's neck, police said.
The witness stated that he and the others pulled the victim away from Kellogg and they all ran toward Court Street, before realizing the victim was bleeding from a deep laceration to the left side of his neck.
They then sat down on a park bench while applying pressure to the wound, before paramedics transported the victim by ambulance to Rhode Island Hospital.
Other witnesses told investigators that Kellogg was "jumped" by the group, before returning to his apartment covered in blood, according to the police report.
Police said they later interviewed Kellogg and that a blood-soaked blue-collared shirt was hanging on a chair in plain view, although officers could not locate the razor or any other cutting instrument used in the alleged assault.
Kellogg was expected to be arraigned in Taunton District Court on Monday.
On Monday afternoon, the Taunton District Court's chief court officer said Kellogg was at a hospital in Boston undergoing an evaluation, without providing any further details. The arraignment was not held at the Taunton court on Monday.
At Kellogg's apartment building, the property owner Gunnar Hexum said that he has been trying to remove Kellogg as a resident of the building prior to the slashing incident.
"Good, he should be in jail, and stay there," said Hexum, when informed that Kellogg was arrested for the alleged stabbing outside his downtown property.
The 9 Taunton Green location, where Hexum runs the Massachusetts School of Information Technology on the ground floor, was also the site of the city's eighth fatal heroin overdose of the year, which took place in mid-March (there have been at least 10 fatal overdoses in the city this year). At the time, Hexum said that homeless people were taking advantage of the female victim and were staying overnight at her apartment. Taunton Mayor Thomas Hoye Jr. commented in the aftermath of the fatal overdose, urging Hexum to take responsibility and saying that the entire building has been a problem and a drain on resources.
On Monday, Hexum said that he was doing his best to deal with the problem and was trying to evict Kellogg.
"The tenants are the tenants," Hexum said. "Their behavior is their behavior. When it comes to violating the terms of the lease here, we've been trying our best to get Bernard out."

Pittsburgh business auctions vandal's brick for $1150
Pittsburgh business auctions vandal's brick for $1150
It's like throwing money out the window, only backward.
It's like throwing money out the window, only backward.
The brick a vandal tossed through a Pittsburgh printing shop's window Monday night fetched its new owner more than $1,000 in an impromptu auction Tuesday.
Commomwealth Press owner, Dan Rugh, says what was initially a frustrated joke turned into a big moneymaker, with people and businesses alike pitching in prizes. One woman offered tickets to a Pittsburgh Penguins hockey game, a brewery offered a free tour, and restaurants donated gift certificates.
The final $1150 bid for the brick came in at 11:59 p.m. Donations totaled about $1000 more.
The window cost only $425 to fix so Rugh and his partner say they'll donate the rest to charity.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Sunday condemned Russia's "incredible act of aggression" in Ukraine and threatened "very serious repercussions" from the United States and other countries, including sanctions to isolate Russia economically.
"You just don't in the 21st century behave in 19th century fashion by invading another country on completely trumped up pre-text," Kerry told the CBS program "Face the Nation."
Kerry, however, added that Russia still has "a right set of choices" that can be made to defuse the crisis.
"It's an incredible act of aggression. It is really a stunning, willful choice by President (Vladimir) Putin to invade another country. Russia is in violation of the sovereignty of Ukraine. Russia is in violation of its international obligations," Kerry added.
Kerry said U.S. President Barack Obama told Putin in a 90-minute phone call on Saturday that "there will be serious repercussions if this stands. The president ... told Mr. Putin that it was imperative to find a different path, to roll back this invasion and un-do this act of invasion."
Kerry said G8 nations and some other countries are "prepared to go to the hilt to isolate Russia" with a "broad array of options" available.
"They're prepared to put sanctions in place, they're prepared to isolate Russia economically, the ruble is already going down. Russia has major economic challenges," Kerry said, as he also mentioned visa bans, asset freezes and trade isolation as possible steps.
Kerry's comments came amid a chorus of condemnation from Washington and its allies. Putin obtained permission from his parliament on Saturday to use military force to protect Russian citizens in Ukraine, spurning Western pleas not intervene.
Russian forces have already bloodlessly seized Crimea - an isolated Black Sea peninsula where Moscow has a naval base.

text: McGraw Hill Financial to sell Aviation Week to Penton Published on July 25, 2013. New York—McGraw Hill Financial announced Wednesday that it has agreed to sell Aviation Week to Penton Media. Financial terms of the all-cash deal, which is expected to close shortly, were not disclosed. "Today's announcement is another important step in the development of McGraw Hill Financial,'' Harold McGraw III, chairman and president-CEO of McGraw Hill Financial, said in a statement. "This action allows us to apply even greater focus on our high-growth, high-margin benchmark businesses serving large and growing capital and commodity markets around the world," McGraw added: "Aviation Week is a premier franchise in the civil and defense aerospace industry. We're pleased the business has found a strategic fit and a good home with Penton, which is a respected business information and marketing company and has complementary assets and capabilities." The move fits with McGraw-Hill Financial's strategy of divesting noncore assets while investing for growth in markets where it has size and scale. Earlier this year, it sold McGraw-Hill Education as part of its Growth and Value Plan. Last year, it sold its nine-station Broadcasting Group to E.W. Scripps Co.; and in 2009 it sold BusinessWeek to Bloomberg. Aviation Week, which reaches more than 1.2 million professionals in 185 countries, is a major provider of information and services to the global commercial, defense, maintenance/repair/overhaul, space and business aviation communities. Its flagship brand is Aviation Week & Space Technology. "The combination of Aviation Week and Penton Aviation creates the largest and most powerful targeted marketing platform for companies and executives in the dynamic and growing global aviation industry," David Kieselstein, CEO of Penton, said in a statement. Penton Aviation's brands include Air Transport World, SpeedNews, Aircraft Bluebook, Air Charter Guide, Airportdata.com and Ac-U-KWIK. With the acquisition, the group will have 143 employees globally.

John Wingate Weeks Historic SiteApril 19. 2011 8:52PM
The Mt. Prospect estate was built at the direction of John Wingate Weeks, leading conservationist, U.S. congressman, U.S. senator, and Secretary of War under Presidents Harding and Coolidge. Set at the very top of Mt. Prospect in Lancaster, New Hampshire, the house and grounds provide a 360-degree panorama of mountain splendor, including the Presidential Range of the White Mountains, the Green Mountains of Vermont, the Kilkenny Range, the Percy Peaks, and the upper Connecticut River Valley. The 420-acre Mt. Prospect estate was given to the state of New Hampshire in 1941 by John Weeks' children, Katherine Weeks Davidge and Sinclair Weeks.
The main house, called the "lodge," is built of fieldstone and stucco; its gable roof is covered with red terra cotta tiles. The lodge is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The plan and form of the house are mostly original and its architectural style is not easily defined.
The Weeks State Park Association hosts a series of weekly summer programs related to the north country of New Hampshire. The public is welcome to attend the free programs that are normally scheduled in the park on Thursday evenings.

After 17 years behind bars for murder charges, two wrongfully convicted inmates will finally be set free, that is, when their ankle tracking bracelets arrive. Eric Glisson, 37, and Cathy Watkins, 44, have both served nearly two decades for the shooting death of cab driver Baithe Diop. Today a Bronx judge vacated the convictions of both Glisson and Watkins, clearing them of the 1995 murder and setting them free. However, due to a lack of availability of the tracking ankle bracelets, a common practice in New York for newly released inmates, the two will have to stay at Rikers Island until Wednesday (Oct. 24), when the bracelets will become available again.
As expected, family members of the two are upset about the extended stay, but grateful that their loved ones will return home soon. "It's hard, you know going to school and hearing other girls talk about their dad and the time they enjoyed together. It's hard for me," said Glisson's 17-year-old daughter, Cynthia Morales. Adding insult to injury, a condition of the release permits the Bronx District Attorney's Office the ability to re-prosecute Watkins and Glisson if further compelling evidence is discovered within the next 90 days of receiving ankle monitoring.

STOP TTIP Minutes – Meeting – January 20 2014
StopTTIP meeting 20th January 2014 – minutes
By Clive Menzies
1. Effects on NHS – Set up public fora –
Few people in NHS are involved in process. Do they care? Fear is prevalent. Growing awareness of
TTIP in Keep Our NHS Public. Labour promise to reverse privatisation but prohibited under TTIP.
Need more campaigning. Groups are making waves and blocked Serco from a commissioning
contract Lewisham. CCG rejected it. NHS is much more of a hot button for people in contrast to
Fire Station closures. Emotional affinity for the NHS – 70% of contracts going to the private sector.
People are willing to act. Ending competition – Labour are promising to stop forcing competition.
Competitive not a planned service. Unite don't think Labour will go far enough. Pharmaceutical
industry. Health and Social Care Act – can't be reverse. Exemption for NHS from TTIP called for by
Andy Burnham. South London KONP UK pays 300% of European average for drugs. Swedish
experience – Karl Rove. National Pensioners Convention. KONP agreed to focus on TTIP. Brent

Goldsmith, Green Party Caroline Lucas, David Graeber. Glyn Moody, Max Kaiser, Stacey Herbert,
2. Follow on from strategy meeting
Vision for the political space in Dec 2014 – the obstacles to getting there. Split activities across
teams – outreach – Jan need contacts. Press group – International Business Times article. Gareth
invited an article. Prefer to have a series – awaiting response for Gareth's return. Tom's written
something. Action group – banner made at the March for freedom. Rather conceptual – prefer
actions orientation. Useful to plan the picture. Document that people can refer to. Structure.
Opening up was useful. Reducing issues to a statement on a postit note can be limiting. For people
who are less involved, it is very useful. Press, Street Action, fund raising, publicity and materials.
Tom's done a leaflet on finance. Kai wants to make another flyer and video with Mark. Media and
website in progress. Dan. Mel writing group dynamics. Recirculate the list of groups which need
resources – mini-meetings very useful. Naomi waiting for the website. MS Publisher template for a
newsletter and introduction. Information kit. Collate materials on a central repository. Word-press
template ready to go. Obi, Chris and Linda will work together on it. Parliamentary Parliamentary
activity – All Party Parliamentary Group meeting totally in support of TTIP. Which, CBI, all in
favour. Unions only raised some job issues. National Farmers Fed want an impact assessment.

the Earth – best summary of the one sided nature of the meeting. NGOs made strong objections.
Businesses clamouring for ISDS. Linda made reference to Independent article on Sovereignty.
Meeting at the House of Lords – chief negotiated. Linda's written to the Chair of European Scrutiny
committee. Writing to MPs to demand questioning in Parliament. They work for us. How will TTIP
effect education, health etc. (What do they know site). Zac Goldsmith to set up a Parliamentary
Opposition Group. IRSG watered down food regulation (article in the Independent – big banks, food
speculation). Commons movement – approach by Tim to see what they think about TTIP and TTP.

time limit for the demands. A lot of the signatories are funded by the commission.
4. Unions – Owen Tudor (TUC) obstructive on progressive issues? Challenge will come from
public awareness, will they drive it. Whatever groups are organisations people are in, they will be
affected, as they become aware, they can bring pressure in a more concerted way. Unions are
dealing with many issues – use conferences. Occupy working with Hands off LT – possible
privatisation post election. Schedule of big union events. Teaching unions over Easter, Unison,
Unite coming soon. Collate union events into the calender. Good time to get TTIP into the motions
– leaflet, fringe meetings. Lib Conference March – take away your local voice
5. Independent article on sovereignty – study the sources of TTIP's historical perspective. Jay Treaty
1795 – American war of Independence. Threw out East India Company. Most favoured nation status
(Astor family – Cameron's father in law). Investor state disputes. More interesting than the
bureaucratic minutiae. Alien capital.

Epic 'Defrauded' Developers with Unreal Engine, Says Silicon Knights
"The trial is proceeding," Dyack told Develop. "We feel really good about our claims, and we're hopeful that justice will be done. We all feel really strongly that they have defrauded us, and a major portion of the industry."
The dispute centers around Silicon Knights' claim that Epic held off on delivering promised features in its Unreal Engine 3 middleware in order to focus on its own UE3-powered effort, Gears of War (PC, 360).
The case went to trial following the denial of Epic's filing to dismiss the suit, and multiple licensees of the software have since been served with subpoenas in an effort to obtain evidence for the court battle.
"The Too Human you see today only really started development when [Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes (GCN)] was completed," Dyack explained. "So it's been a four-year development cycle and it would have been out even quicker, but we had to re-write the engine because of all the Epic stuff."
The first of a planned trilogy, the oft-delayed Too Human will finally reach retailers this coming Wednesday.

Mobile phones global health menace, says top brain surgeon
Global epidemic nearing
Prolonged mobile phone use could be more damaging to your health than smoking or asbestos, according to the latest report into the possible risks of handset radiation on human brains.
The report was compiled by Dr Vini Khurana, an Australian neurosurgeon, following 14 months of research. This, he says, involved a critical review of many existing medical resources and online information into the possible links between brain tumours and mobile phone use.
Dr Khurana concluded that long term exposure to mobile phone radiation is causing an "emerging global public health concern". He also forecast that over the next four years the dangers of mobile phones on our brains will become more evident, as stronger evidence come to light linking prolonged mobile phone use to brain tumours.
So, what is Khurana's solution? Dump all the world's mobile phones into the Grand Canyon? Make Bluetooth headsets mandatory? Bring back the pager?
No, the doctor has called for the mobile phone industry and governments to take "immediate and decisive steps". This would see both camps acknowledge there's a health problem and propose possible solutions, such as yet further studies.
Dr Khurana's research stands in contrast to the findings of two separate reports published last month, which both concluded that mobile phones don't increase your risk of developing cancer.
A study by the Tokyo Women's Medical University failed to find any evidence that mobile phone use leads to brain cancer, following the cross-examination of mobile phone users with and without brain cancer.
An Australian university professor also unveiled his cancer causing product banding system, which placed mobile phones in an unlikely category – the lowest risk band of all.

NH Fish & Game plans $695,000 tracking project to study moose population's rapid decline
By DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
New Hampshire's moose population is on the decline, according to Fish & Game officials, who plan a $695,000 project to collar and track moose in an effort to determine the cause. (UNION LEADER FILE)
Moose mortality
• Moose may live 20 years, but average lifespan is 10 to 12 years.
• Black bear are a significant predator of moose calves under nine weeks old. Coyotes may also take an occasional calf.
• Moose are susceptible to a tiny parasite known as brainworm, which is usually fatal. The parasite is passed from deer to moose via snails, which moose ingest while feeding.
• Moose also die from severe infestations of winter ticks. An infested moose can carry up to 120,000 ticks and can lose large amounts of hair trying to remove them, leading to secondary infections and hypothermia.
• Each year, as many as 250 moose die as a result of collisions with automobiles.
— NH Fish & Game (wildlife.state.nh.us)
Owner surrenders 60 lovebirds to Stratham SPCA
Global warming shriveling moose libido?
— The state will spend nearly $700,000 in a moose collaring and tracking project designed to help Fish and Game officials determine why the state's moose population is declining at such a rapid rate.
The Executive Council unanimously approved the study by wildlife experts from the University of New Hampshire on Wednesday, but not before Executive Councilor Debora Pignatell, D-Nashua, raised questions about the $695,000 contract.
"It looks like we're spending $700,000 to track moose. Does that sound like a lot of money to you?" she asked Glenn Normandeau, executive director of the Fish and Game Department.
Normandeau estimated that the moose population in the state is 4,500 at this point, which is considered a low number.
"There's a lot of concern because the economic value to the state of moose is in the tens of millions," he said. "Just the whole moose-watching thing is huge, and we're concerned. They are coming under stress from climate, or what we believe to be climate. We are trying to find out if that is really the case and if there is anything we can do about it."
Normandeau said the four-year project, financed primarily by federal funds, involves helicopters, expensive equipment and highly skilled personnel.
Using helicopters and net-guns, the wildlife biologists capture and radio-collar cow and calf moose, and then use GPS technology to track their movements.
State officials don't have exact numbers, but say that sightings of moose are way down statewide.
Ted Walski, a Fish and Game biologist, recently told the Keene Sentinel that sightings are down 20 to 30 percent in recent years.
The state's largest land mammals average about 1,000 pounds and stand 6 feet at the shoulder.
They are hunted in October for nine days through a state lottery that this year granted permits to 275 people from a pool of 13,000 applicants.
"We also have some disease issues going on," Normandeau told the council. "We are really trying to accurately find out what is going on in the field, and there is no other way than tracking them. I've been educated on the process it takes to bring the animals down and collaring them without injury. It is an expensive process."
In background material prepared for the council, the Fish and Game Department stated that "moose are arguably the most important wildlife species in New Hampshire from both social and economic perspectives."
Normandeau said the state is trying to avoid the fate of eastern Minnesota, where the moose population has disappeared in the past decade.
"It's completely gone," he said. "And other areas are experiencing similar declines while other areas are doing well. We're trying to figure out what is going on, and if there are things we can do, long-term, to ensure we have moose in the future."
Other council votes
In other action, the council voted to:
• Confirm Perry Plummer to continue as director of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, after applauding his recent response to flooding in various parts of the state.
• Approve a $1.5 million contract with a Boston consulting firm to create a computerized network that will verify eligibility for state assistance by cross-checking applicant information with databases around the country to eliminate duplication and deter fraud.
• Authorized the sale of state-owned land and buildings at 247-249 Pleasant St., Concord, to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic for $900,000. The land is adjacent to property the clinic already owns.

The Power Surge: Energy, Opportunity, and the Battle for America's Future
Michael Levi
Oxford University Press, 2013 ($27.95)
The U.S. is in the midst of a transformation in the way the country produces and uses energy. Blasting deep shale formations with water—also known as fracking—and the ability to drill wells horizontally as well as vertically have freed a bonanza of previously untapped oil and natural gas. At the same time, government programs have mandated more efficient vehicles and helped to jump-start the development of alternative sources of energy, such as solar and wind power. President Barack Obama calls this an "all of the above" strategy, and that's a plan Levi, who is an energy expert at the Council on Foreign Relations, endorses in this engaging and illuminating book. He also argues that we'll need oversight and regulations to ensure that activities such as fracking are done right.

A small plane carrying a pilot and two passengers crashed into a house in Palm Coast on Friday killing all on board, authorities said.
PALM COAST -- A single-engine plane carrying a pilot and two passengers bound for Knoxville, Tenn., crashed into a house in Palm Coast on Friday and burst into flames, killing all aboard, officials said.
But a woman who was alone inside the house at the time of the crash climbed out of a back bedroom window and managed to escape serious injury.
"To be honest, I had to really think about, am I in a movie?" Susan Crockett said Saturday outside her destroyed home. "Because I didn't know what was going on. I'm on the phone with my daughter, and I'm like, 'There's a plane in the middle of my house.'"
The pilot, Michael Anders, was trying to make an emergency landing at Flagler County Airport when the plane crashed into the house at 22 Utica Path about 2:20 p.m. Friday, officials said.
Also killed in the crash were passengers Duane Shaw, 59, a neighbor of Anders, and Charissee Peoples, 42, an official said. Peoples was Shaw's fianc�e. The three were flying back from vacationing in several spots in the Caribbean, the official said.
Anders reported "severe shaking" and declared an emergency about 2:10 p.m., according to Flagler County sheriff's spokeswoman Debra Johnson.
Flagler County Airport Director Roy Sieger said when air traffic controllers in Daytona Beach handed off the emergency to Flagler airport controllers, tower personnel notified Flagler County Fire/Rescue crews and the Flagler County Sheriff's Office.
"We were staged within two minutes of the call," he said. "I noticed (the plane) was too low and that's when we lost sight of it."
Sieger said according to flight controllers the pilot of the plane reported smoke in the cockpit at 2:18 p.m. and at 2:19 the crash occurred.
Sieger said he feared the worst when tower personnel reported the plane had crashed just east of the airport. When he arrived at the crash site, Sieger said there was not a lot of debris on the ground because the plane "totally went into the house."
The crash killed Anders on his 58th birthday. He was a teacher at Clinton County High School in Albany, Ky., where he lived in a fly-in community near Spring Creek Airport. He coached the chess and golf teams at the school, according to past editions of his local newspaper.
"You don't coach for the money," Anders told the Clinton County News in an interview about the golf team in August 2011. "You coach for the love of the game. It's a great game. It's the last of the games with no referees. These kids are taught more than just a game. They are taught integrity, honesty ... I'm not the coach that stops them in the middle of their round. I have to trust that once they take off they are on their own. It's about life."
Crockett, the home's owner, was treated Friday at Florida Hospital Flagler, according to a hospital spokeswoman, then showed up Saturday to retrieve her sister's Army flag from the house. Its wooden display case was charred from flames.
Crockett's daughter, Jessica, said Friday night it was "surreal" when she learned that a plane had crashed into her mother's house. Crockett, 20, a senior at the University of Florida in Gainesville, said she got a call from a friend that a plane had crashed into her mother's house. She and another friend jumped into a car and rushed to Palm Coast.
Crockett said her mother subsequently called her to assure her she was OK. She said her mom was in a back bedroom when the plane plummeted through the roof.
"She says it's all kind of a blur," Jessica Crockett said. "She just remembered trying to get out. She said the house is on fire and she got out."
She said her mother suffered some bruises on her arm as she climbed out the window but is otherwise OK.
"She did know it was a plane because she could hear it," Jessica Crockett said. "But we hear planes all the time. I used to live here. We hear them a lot. We kind of just figure they are landing at the airport."
The family used to talk about the planes.
"It's kind of sad now," Jessica Crockett said. "But we joked about it all the time because the planes get really loud because they do fly kind of low. But we never thought it'd actually happen."
She said it was hard to comprehend.
"It's kinda, like, surreal," she said. "You wonder if that really happened."
According to preliminary information from the Federal Aviation Administration, the plane was a Beech Bonanza (BE35) aircraft heading to Downtown Island Airport in Knoxville when the pilot reported a mechanical problem and diverted to the Flagler airport. The identities of those on board the plane were not immediately available.
Florida Highway Patrol Lt. Justin Asbury said the 1957 single-engine plane was registered in the British Virgin Islands and had departed from Fort Pierce. He said investigators from the National Traffic Safety Board would arrive Friday night to examine the wreckage and take over the investigation.
Late Friday afternoon, the silver tail of the plane could be seen protruding from a gaping hole in the roof of the house, its burnt trusses sticking out like exposed ribs.
The crash rocked the Seminole Woods neighborhood east of the airport. One of Crockett's next-door neighbors, Lauren Hornsby, was home feeding her 7-month-old daughter when the crash occurred.
"An explosion, that's what she heard," said Tim Hornsby, Lauren's husband. "She said it sounded like a tractor-trailer crashed right next door to our house."
Hornsby said when his wife rushed outside to see what had happened she saw "flames everywhere and embers were falling on the house and she was afraid our house was going to burn down." He said a deputy helped her and the baby to evacuate.
Alan and Lisa Howell, who live about 10 houses down from the crash site, said they were home when Alan Howell heard a loud boom. Howell jumped on his bike and rode down the street to get closer to the crash scene.
"When I came outside, I could see the flames shooting out above the trees," he said.
Howell said it appeared the plane came to rest in the backyard. The houses in the immediate area were evacuated and the entire street was closed to traffic.
Another neighbor said he heard a boom and felt the ground shake.
"I didn't think nothing of it because sometimes there's tractor-trailers running on Seminole Woods (Boulevard) and next thing you know there were sheriff's deputies coming up and down the block telling people to evacuate," said Jeff Sheeley, who lives about a block from the crash site. Shelley said the fire was very intense.
"When you look from here, and see fires at the top of the tree line, it's pretty big," he said from his front yard.
Chad Battelene, a server at High Jackers restaurant at the airport, saw the emergency crews gathered near the runway before the crash.
"I went out the door and I saw the plane coming in on final approach," he said.
Battelene, who is also a pilot and uses the airport, said "hazy and cloudy" conditions obscured his view of the plane.
"I saw it, then I took my eyes off it," he said. "When I looked up again, it was gone."
Moments later, he said he saw smoke rising from the ground.
Sieger said at the time of the crash, traffic at the airport was slow and visibility was four miles with a cloud ceiling at 900 feet and overcast.
Flagler County Fire Chief Don Petito said fire engines were dispatched to the airport to assist in what he expected would be an emergency landing. He said he thought it looked like the plane was going to make it to the runaway but it clipped the tops of some trees and went down.
Armando Gonzalez, who lives on Ulaturn Trail near Utica, said he heard the noise of a plane in trouble.
"I hear an engine missing, like backfiring, and I told my neighbor it looks like an airplane having a problem," Gonzalez said. "And 10 seconds after that I hear an explosion. By the time we drive from my house to the place, like two or three minutes, the whole house was in flames and we saw the lady coming out, screaming out of the house, 'Is an airplane in my house, is an airplane in my house?' "
"The house was in flames already. It was a lot of smoke, a lot of flames," Gonzalez said. "We saw that the tail of the airplane was sticking out from the back of the house. . . . You could feel the heat from the flames."
Gonzalez said the woman was really nervous and shaking.
"I know we lost three lives," Gonzalez said. But at least she's saved. "That was a miracle. You have to believe in God. That was a miracle that she came out of that house."
Three other fatal plane crashes have occurred in Volusia and Flagler counties since February 2011.
A crash on Feb. 16, 2011, in New Smyrna Beach killed two, and a fatal crash occurred during an air show in Flagler on March 26, 2011. The pilot of a plane that crashed into a Publix in DeLand on April 2, 2012, Kim Presbrey, died several weeks after the crash. Thomas Rhoades, a passenger, was injured but survived.
The Bonanza is a single-engine aircraft in production for more than 50 years, with more than 12,000 on the FAA's aircraft registry.
According to the United States Aircraft Insurance Group, between 1983 and 1999 the Bonanza/Debonair aircraft flew approximately 20.2 million hours with 1,143 accidents, an average of 6.72 accidents for every 100,000 hours for the Beech 35 model, a lower-than-average number of crashes.
More than half of the accidents analyzed were minor, with little or no injury, the insurance group reported. About 70 percent of the accidents were due to pilot error and mechanical issues caused about 20 percent of the crashes.
Nationwide last year, there were 405 fatalities in 268 accidents, including 27 in Florida, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.
Her mother's home all but destroyed, Jessica Crockett said Friday night that her mother is staying with family members. She thanked God for her mother's survival.
"My mom is going to be fine," Jessica Crockett said. "She's got a great faith in God."
Staff writers Aaron London, Annie Martin, Dinah Voyles Pulver and Andrew Gant contributed to this report.
The pilot of a Beechcraft Bonanza calmly reported a vibration and losing oil pressure as he tried to guide his stricken Beechcraft Bonanza to the Flagler County Airport before it crashed into a Palm Coast home on Friday afternoon, killing all three aboard the aircraft.
Pilot Michael R. Anders, 57, radioed air traffic controllers about a vibration, possibly in a propeller or in the engine. He also said his airplane was having problems with oil pressure. Anders referred to the plane as is customary by its N number, N375B.
The two passengers who died along with Anders were Duane L. Shaw, 59, and Charissee M. Peoples, 42. Anders and Shaw were from Albany, Ky., and Peoples was from Indianapolis.
Here is an edited transcription of communications between the pilot and tower.
(5:47 minutes into audio)

What are your intentions?
Pilot: Roger, give us the localizer please.
Tower: Ok, the best we can do is an RNAV at that airport or we can reverse course back to Daytona is the only precision approach we have in our air space for the ILS is Daytona.
Pilot: We don't need a precision approach. Is there anything with a localizer or anything VFR.
Tower: No, all of our airports right now are IFR. All ceilings are hovering right around 900 to 1000 feet.
Pilot: We'll take the nearest one and try to break out at 1000 but I don't have RNAV capability.
Tower: 35 Bravo, Roger we can do a surveillance approach and guide you in to the airport. Are you OK with that?

OSLO, Norway (AP) — The EU received the Nobel Peace Prize on Monday for promoting peace and human rights in Europe following the devastation of World War II, and the bloc was urged to use that unity in its battle with an economic crisis that is causing suffering for many of its citizens.
About 20 European government leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and Italian Premier Mario Monti, attended the ceremony in the capital of Norway, an oil-rich country that has twice rejected joining the European Union.
Not everyone approved the decision to give the prize to the EU, created 60 years ago as Europe was struggling to recover from a war that killed millions of people.
Three Peace Prize laureates — South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mairead Maguire of Northern Ireland and Adolfo Perez Esquivel from Argentina — have demanded that the prize money of $1.2 million not be paid this year. They said the bloc contradicts the values associated with the prize because it relies on military force to ensure security.
Amnesty International said Monday that EU leaders should not "bask in the glow of the prize," warning that xenophobia and intolerance are now on the rise in the continent of 500 million people.
Prize committee Chairman Thorbjoern Jagland handed out the Nobel diplomas and medals to EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso, EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy and president of the EU Parliament Martin Schulz before at a ceremony in Oslo's City Hall attended by heads of state, royalty and international dignitaries.
In his awarding speech, Jagland said the EU had been instrumental in turning "a continent of war" into one of peace.
"In this process the European Union has figured most prominently," he told an applauding gathering of several hundred people.
This year's prize comes against a backdrop of protests as the debt crisis for countries using the euro currency triggers tensions within the union, causing soaring unemployment and requiring massive austerity measures.
The EU's institutions, and the member countries, have been criticized for reacting too slowly to the crisis, which has continued for three years. The EU, and the 17 members that use the euro in particular, have struggled over too much government debt that has resulted in the eurozone's economy being mired in recession.
In his speech, Jagland addressed the financial woes, saying European unity has become increasingly important.
"The political framework in which the union is rooted is more important now than ever," he said. "We must stand together. We have collective responsibility."
Barroso told the gathering that the EU, "which has overcome war and totalitarianism," will always stand by those in pursuit of peace and human dignity.
"And let me say it from here today, the current situation in Syria is a stain on the world's conscience and the international community has a moral duty to address it," Barroso said.
As he spoke, EU foreign ministers were meeting in Brussels to discuss a range of issues including the civil war in Syria, where more than 40,000 people have died, according to activists. Syria's rebels have recently seized airbases near Damascus and Aleppo, and put President Bashar Assad's forces on their heels.
Jagland's speech mainly dealt with past achievements, saying the awarding committee had decided to honor the union, which grew out of the conviction that ever-closer economic ties would make sure that century-old enemies such as Germany and France never turned on each other again.
He described that reconciliation as "probably the most dramatic example in history to show that war and conflict can be turned so rapidly into peace and cooperation."
Jagland said the presence of Merkel and Hollande on Monday made "this day very particular, symbolic for all of us," prompting extended applause from the gathering and bows from the two leaders.
He didn't mention that the two leaders had spent most of the summer arguing over how best to solve Europe's economic problems. Merkel has stuck to her line that the region has to cut back and introduce painful reforms if it is to survive the current crisis, whereas Hollande has been calling for spending by governments to encourage growth.
In his speech, Van Rompuy acknowledged the economic crisis is causing "great hardship and putting the political bonds of our union to the test."
But, he said, "while we must keep a sense of proportion — even such tensions don't take us back to the darkness of the past — the test Europe is currently facing is real."
The Nobel Peace Prize is always awarded in Oslo on Dec. 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death in 1896. Similar ceremonies were being held in the Swedish capital for the Nobel laureates in medicine, chemistry, physics and literature.

Maybe more substantive discussion about long term reliability, parts availability, service, more pros/cons, and other descriptive tidbits would be more useful to understanding how this system will or won't work for most of us as dirt riders. Man, I clicked on this thread thinking I was going to really learn some real world application of this concept and found pages of a full blown school playground fracas over terminology and semantics with a few hidden gems of real information. I'm a gearhead too, but I don't require a full and total comprehension of all of Newton's laws to ride my dirt bike. Can we get back to our regularly scheduled programming involving how this system is working and can work for real world off road use?

Kali leaves the Alaska Zoo to join polar bear cub Luna at the Buffalo Zoo
Earlier this week, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that Kali, the polar bear cub rescued in March from the Point Lay area of Alaska, would leave the Alaska Zoo en route to the Buffalo Zoo. Kali (pronounced Cully, the Inupiat name for Point Lay), a 65-pound cub, arrived Wednesday in Western New York and will join young female cub Luna.
The Buffalo Zoo said both cubs will benefit from each other's company.
Under the care of Alaska Zoo staff, Kali has adjusted well to his surroundings, more than tripling in size and weight.
"The Alaska Zoo has done a tremendous job of providing excellent, temporary care for Kali," said Service Director Dan Ashe. "I would like to personally thank the zoo for stepping up - at moment's notice - to care for this cub. Now, as Kali leaves Alaska for his next short-term home, we are confident that the Buffalo Zoo will provide the best of care for Kali as the service makes a final determination on a permanent home for the cub."
On March 12, the service received word that a female polar bear had been shot near Point Lay, Alaska. The adult female was accompanied by a cub, which was transferred first to the community of Point Lay, and then to the North Slope Borough's Department of Wildlife Management in Barrow, Alaska. After the cub was examined and observed to be in good condition, the service asked the Alaska Zoo to temporarily care for it. Alaska Airlines flew the cub to Anchorage where it was met by service and Alaska Zoo staff.
"The Alaska Zoo is proud of its long history of partnering with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to provide a home for orphaned and abandoned wildlife," said Alaska Zoo Director Pat Lampi. "The zoo's staff has more than 100 years of direct staff experience in raising rescued polar bear cubs."
Dubbed "Operation Kali," Kali's trip from Anchorage to Buffalo was arranged and funded by M&T Bank, one of the Buffalo Zoo's long-standing corporate sponsors. Kali was to be accompanied by Alaska Zoo Executive Director Patrick Lampi and Zoo Curator Shannon Jensen along with Dr. Kurt Volle, a veterinarian with the Buffalo Zoo. Kali and crew were set to take off from Anchorage for Buffalo on a UPS 747- 400 jet.
"We are thrilled to receive Kali," said Dr. Donna Fernandes, president of the Buffalo Zoo. "Recovery of orphaned cubs is one of the reasons we are building our new polar bear habitat, Arctic Edge. Both cubs will benefit immensely from the opportunity to play with one another to ensure that they learn to be bears and not become too attached to human caretakers."
"As the Buffalo Zoo moves forward with its plans for a new world-class polar bear exhibit, we're excited to help bring Kali to Buffalo to join Luna, allowing our neighbors to enjoy learning more about these amazing animals," said M&T Bank Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer Michele Trolli.
Kali's journey from the Arctic coastal plain to the Alaska Zoo to the Buffalo Zoo is the result of collaboration among the people of Point Lay, the North Slope Borough, the North Slope Borough Police Department, the Alaska Zoo, Alaska Airlines, the Buffalo Zoo, M&T Bank, United Parcel Service, the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, the Polar Bear Species Survival Plan management group and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
The service will make a final determination on a permanent home for the polar bear cub based on consideration of multiple criteria, including staff experience and expertise, quality of facilities, and the age, sex and temperament of bears currently in the zoo's collection. Zoos have been an important partner for the conservation of many species and, as climate change continues to threaten polar bear habitat, the service will work closely with the AZA, the Polar Bear SSP and zoos across the country to ensure the proper placement and care of any additional polar bear cubs that may need future care.
For more information about polar bear conservation, visithttp://alaska.fws.gov/fisheries/mmm/polarbear/pbmain.htm.
Luna, meanwhile, continues to thrive at the Buffalo Zoo. She currently weighs around 80 pounds. Her diet consists of a combination of meat and formula.
Luna is on exhibit daily in the vanishing animals north exhibit, across from the zebras, from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Buffalo Zoo continues to share videos online on its Facebook and YouTube pages. (https://www.facebook.com/BuffaloZoo;http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBuffalozoo)

NH's snow businesses weather a lackluster stretch of winterBy SARA YOUNG-KNOX
Special to the Union Leader
January 22. 2013 10:09PM
TAMWORTH - The annual dog sled races that start on Chocorua Lake are slated to take place Feb. 16 and 17, a change from the race's original scheduled dates.
The New England Dog Sled Club's race was scheduled to take place earlier this month, but inadequate trail conditions pushed the event deeper into winter. Though the region received about a foot of snow in December, a warm week in which the temperature soared into the 50s shrank the snowpack.
On Tuesday, the snow that was forecast did not materialize, though with the mercury only rising to the low 20s, what snow remained on the ground and slopes of the White Mountains was staying frozen in place. Though there was blue sky in Mount Washington Valley, the higher summits to the north were covered in clouds.
According to National Weather Service data, Pittsburg, the First Connecticut Lake, and Pinkham Notch all had about 13 inches of snow on the ground, with Berlin registering 12 inches, and Center Sandwich 10.5 inches. North Conway and Gorham both have 9 inches, and the wind-blown top of Mount Washington, as of Monday, had 10 inches. Tamworth had 7.
White Mountain ski areas have been luckier in their quest for white gold. At the start of MLK weekend, Laura Tuveson, marketing coordinator at Attitash Mountain Resort and Wildcat Mountain, said, "Wildcat Mountain is reaping the benefits of having the most snowfall this season in the state of New Hampshire, including almost a foot of new snow this week, bringing the season totals over 100 inches to date."
Despite last week's warm weather, downhill ski areas have held on to snow they've made, and they've received up to 5 inches of snow in the last few days. Loon Mountain reported 52 of its 61 trails open Tuesday. Bretton Woods had 71 of 102 trails open. King Pine Ski Area in Madison had all 17 of its trails open.
Cross-country ski areas, which for the most part depend on natural snow, made it through the January thaw. Tuesday at the Nordic Center at Waterville, 61 kilometers of trails were open, with Bear Notch Ski Area in Bartlett opening 60 kilometers of trails.
At Whitaker Woods in North Conway, groomers worked with the snow they had to keep the trail network through the town-owned land ready for skiers.
For snowmobilers, there's a variety of trail conditions in the North Country. Pittsburg has 100 percent of its trails open, with trails in the northern part of the region rated very good to great, similar to the report out of Diamond Pond/Coleman State Park.
This weekend, Friday through Sunday, riders on snowmobiles legally registered in any of the three northern New England states may ride on any of the trails in New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine, for a three-state reciprocal weekend of riding.
