KSET goes silent
Radio station KSET, the Beaumont news-talk outlet that broadcasts at 1300 AM, has gone silent. A hastily scribbled note posted on the door of the KSET studio at 5550 Eastex Freeway read "KSET RADIO HAS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED OPERATIONS. OWNER HAS TAKEN OVER MANAGEMENT." A second note provided employees an address to e-mail their timecards.
These events took place with no apparent warning on the morning of Monday, Jan. 16. An episode of the syndicated Dennis Miller Show was being re-broadcast, but the station went silent by mid-day.
Lee Melton, general sales manager for KSET, told the Business Journal, "It kind of came as a shock this morning. I got a phone call from one of my producers trying to get into the radio station."
Melton said station owner William Hill "has changed the locks, and I have no idea what is happening. The entire crew, every employee including myself, was locked out as of this morning."
Attempts to reach Hill were unsuccessful. A source that did not wish to be identified for this story told the Business Journal that Hill had battled health problems in recent months. According to the source, "Mr. Hill said he was going to put the station up for sale and suspended operations to conduct an audit" in order to effect such a sale. The source declined to provide direct contact information for Hill.
"Only William Hill knows where KSET is going at this point," said Melton. "I've been trying to contact my advertisers and let them know. Obviously we had things on the books ready to run."
In a little more than two years on the air, KSET had established a reputation for broadcasting local news and talk programming. The Dennis Miller Show was one of the few syndicated offerings on KSET, compared to the dominant Clear Channel station KLVI, whose daily programming hours were dominated by Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.
While Melton expressed surprise at the shutdown, others said they saw signs of trouble at the station in recent weeks.
James Dabney, who had hosted In the House with James and Julie from 5 to 9 a.m. five days a week with his wife, said he had no idea KSET was about to suspend operations when he made the decision to leave the station.
"We did our last show on Thursday, Jan. 12," Dabney said. "About three months ago, I told Julie I've got a bad feeling; something's not right. For example, the equipment in the place was literally just falling apart and there were other issues, financial issues."
Dabney said he told his advertisers in advance he was not renewing their contracts because he had decided to leave KSET but that all of his advertisers received all the spots they had paid for by Jan. 12.
"I told all my folks I wanted to be on the radio; I hate that we're not, but I had concerns about what was going on and didn't want to be (on KSET) anymore," he said.
Citing on-going financial issues at KSET, Dabney said, "I've been in business all my adult life and the bottom line is when there's no money, something's real wrong because we had plenty of sponsors; I had sponsors and I'm sure the other shows did and the commercial breaks just seemed to get longer, yet where's the money?"
Speculation over whether Hill was planning to sell the radio station or bring in another management group was not grounded in any verifiable facts at press time.
Melton said that decision rested with one man.
"William Hill, at the end of the day, owns the license; he owns KSET, and if he chooses to take it off the air or sell it to somebody else, he's got that right every day of the week," he said.

It's pretty well known that products like vinyl shower curtains and floor tiles, personal care products and household cleaners expose people to a variety of harmful chemicals that have been linked to asthma and reproductive problems, including infertility in both men and women. But when it comes to eliminating chemicals in your home, where do you start?
That's what scientists at the Silent Spring Institute were hoping to uncover with a massive review of more than 200 products, all of which were analyzed for their hazardous-chemical content. "This is the first large peer-reviewed study of its kind that has looked at such a wide range of products for hormone disruption and asthma," says the study's lead author Robin Dodson, ScD, research scientist at Silent Spring. "It gives us a much clearer snapshot of what people might be exposed to."
A number of studies have pinpointed things like fragrances, cleaners and personal care products as a source of exposure to hormone disruptors, chemicals that act like estrogen or block testosterone in both men and women and can lead to problems with infertility, reproductive cancers and other hormonal functions. But until now, it's never been very clear which products posed the greatest threat, says Dodson.
She and her co-authors selected 170 household products — including dish liquids, laundry detergents, lotions, sunscreens, cosmetics, vinyl shower curtains and vinyl pillow protectors—and analyzed those for the presence of the 66 chemicals that can trigger breathing problems and reproductive abnormalities, among them:
• phthalates, linked to both asthma and infertility
• fragrances, which contain mixtures of a dozen or more chemicals and are even used in "unscented" products to mask chemical odors
• glycol ethers, asthma-triggering solvents often added to cleaning products
• parabens, preservatives used in a variety of personal care products and suspected of causing breast cancer
• triclosan, used in cosmetics and antibacterial soaps and known to interfere with reproductive hormones
• bisphenol A (BPA), a hormone-disrupting chemical used in certain plastics
The researchers also selected 43 "alternative" products that were promoted as being free of some of the above chemicals, for instance, white vinegar, nylon shower curtains, and a variety of "fragrance-free" personal care and cleaning products. To see the brand names of all the products tested, check the full list published by Silent Spring online. They detected at least one of the six chemicals listed above in nearly all products tested, including 41 of the 43 "green" or "nontoxic" products.
Based on the results of their analysis, here are the three biggest sources of chemicals in the home that Dodson recommends we all steer clear of:
1. Fragranced products
Orange-scented dish soap, your makeup, that strawberry-scented shampoo — any product with a fragrance is likely to have high levels of chemicals, Dodson says. "They also contained a lot of the compounds we're most concerned about," she adds. For instance, the phthalate used to keep fragrances from dissipating was the chemical most commonly detected in the study.
There are more than 3,000 chemicals used to make synthetic fragrances, and a single product scent can contain anywhere from 30 to 500 of them. When those chemicals are released into your indoor air, they can combine to create cancer-causing formaldehyde and ultrafine particles that trigger respiratory problems.
To protect business secrets, companies don't have to list those chemicals on labels or even disclose them on corporate websites. In fact, the researchers detected fragrances in 26 products, many of them cleaners, that didn't even list either "fragrance" or a specific scent on the label. Perfumes, car and home air fresheners, and dryer sheets were the products containing the highest levels of fragrance.
2. Vinyl curtains and bedding
The two Target shower curtains Silent Spring tested were 28 percent phthalates by weight. "That means that a quarter of those shower curtains is phthalates," Dodson says. The vinyl pillow protector was 14 percent. "What's concerning is that people are using these pillow protectors to reduce exposure to dust mites because they suffer from asthma, yet the pillow protectors themselves contain high levels of chemicals that cause asthma," she says.
And it's not just the asthma-inducing, hormone-bending phthalates that consumers need to be concerned about. BPA is another hormone disruptor that's used in vinyl products, and it too was detected in the shower curtain and pillow protector. Another hormone disruptor found in the shower curtains was nonylphenol, a breakdown product of a chemical used to prevent plastic from breaking down. The researchers also found glycol ethers, chemicals that are associated with low sperm counts and asthma, in the pillow protector.
3. Anything labeled "antibacterial"
Triclosan and triclocarban are the two most common ingredients in antibacterial soaps and cleaners. Personal care products that use them are considered over-the-counter drugs, and cleaners that use them are considered pesticides, and therefore, both chemicals have to be listed on labels. Both chemicals were detected in products that were properly labeled, but one dish soap contained triclosan even though it wasn't listed.
The sheer number of "antibacterial" products has skyrocketed in the past decade, as germ-phobic shoppers buy up antibacterial towels, bedsheets, workout gear, toothpastes and even cutting boards. But all that germ protection comes at a cost: Many scientists suspect triclosan and triclocarban of contributing to the meteoric rise in drug-resistant bacteria over that same period.
We can't shop our way out of this problem
One of the reasons Silent Spring Institute conducted this study, said Dodson, was to show that even the most devoted label-reader and product-researcher can't avoid all the toxic chemicals used in household products. "Products don't tend to be fully labeled," she notes, as evidenced by all the chemicals they found in products that didn't list them on the label. In addition to finding fragrances and triclosan that weren't in label listings, the authors found paraben preservatives in products that didn't list those on ingredients labels.
A number of online resources, such as the Environmental Working Group's Skin Deep database, use label information to generate safety ratings for a variety of personal care and cleaning products. "Many of these are simply an analysis of labels, which is what their ratings are based on. Unfortunately, these labels aren't complete," Dodson says. "You can't make good decisions without all the information."
Silent Spring is working with other nonprofits to revamp the '70s-era law that regulates chemicals in consumer products, the Toxic Substances Reform Act, which has allowed thousands of older chemicals to be used for decades without adequate safety testing. "Consumers shouldn't have to be chemists," she says, "and we don't have to be forced to shop our way out of this."
In addition to eliminating the products listed above, Dodson offers one final tip: "Choose fewer products. The less you use, the fewer chemicals you're exposed to." Opt for baking soda and white vinegar over commercial cleaners, and use coconut oil, olive oil and baking soda in place of lotions and deodorants.

Post Loop is clearly ripping writers off by getting them to do 20 posts for free... even though you say you only want 10 posts for quality review, which is a rip off in the first place as you only need 2 posts to determine quality.
I got your scam figured out.
1. After the applicant has subscribed and written 10 posts, you lie and tell them they have not subscribed and cannot get credit for the 10 posts they've already written.
2. You tell them to subscribe again and write 10 more posts.
3. The end result is you've gotten 20 posts for free and the writer has nothing to show for that work. Which, by the way, is iffy on your part as I observed bad sentence structure, misspellings and poor puntcuation throughout your forums.
No writer of any talent would want to be associated with hustlers like Post Loop. I will be reporting your SCAM along with a copy of this email in the proper places including the website which recommended you and also on my three blogs. sweetkali

TOKYO (Reuters) - The Bank of Japan board kept its policy unchanged on Thursday and voted down a proposal to step up monetary stimulus, saving ammunition for new leaders who are expected to take bolder action to try to end nearly two decades of deflation.
Investors say action is likely to come at the BOJ's next meeting on April 3-4, when Asian Development Bank President Haruhiko Kuroda, a vocal advocate of aggressive easing, is expected to have taken over as governor.
At this week's meeting, BOJ board member Sayuri Shirai proposed bringing forward open-ended government debt purchases planned for next year. While she was voted down 8-1, her proposal was seen as a harbinger of the changes coming to monetary policy.
"Today's decision came as no surprise, but the fact that Shirai proposed bringing forward open-ended JGB purchases has laid the groundwork for further monetary easing at the bank's next policy review under the new leadership," said Junko Nishioka, chief Japan economist at RBS Securities.
"Even though the proposal was rejected today, it could be put forward again at the next policy meeting in April and adopted given that BOJ governor nominee Kuroda has floated a similar idea in parliament."
The BOJ revised up its assessment of the economy, saying it was bottoming out, which was slightly more positive than last month's view that the economy appeared "to have hit bottom."
The policy meeting was the last for Governor Masaaki Shirakawa and his two deputies. They leave on March 19 after a five-year term spent battling crises including the aftermath of Lehman Brothers' collapse in 2008 and the devastating March 2011 earthquake in Japan.
Shirakawa challenged Kuroda's argument that the central bank needed to focus more on fostering inflation expectations to end deflation, saying the best way to achieve inflation was for rising wages to accompany increased growth expectations.
"In the case where we rely mostly on inflation expectation, this would prompt a rise in government bond yields, reducing the price of JGBs held by financial institutions and thereby hurting the financial system," Shirakawa told a media conference.
"If wage hikes come first, this would squeeze corporate profits and therefore unlikely lead to sustained recovery in real economy."
At the meeting, board member Ryuzo Miyao proposed continuing the BOJ's policy of keeping interest rates virtually at zero until the central bank's target of 2 percent inflation is in sight. His proposal was also voted down 8-1.
"We may see more meeting results of split votes under the new BOJ governor," said Yuichi Kodama, chief economist at Meiji Yasuda Life Insurance.
"Current board members have not necessarily been aggressive towards easing, and it is hard to consider all of them will suddenly change their stance. But given the new BOJ leadership will have a more reflationary stance, the pace of monetary easing will likely speed up."
The revision to the economic assessment is unlikely to relieve pressure on the BOJ's new management to come up with more innovative ways to end deflation.
Facing relentless pressure from new Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for bolder efforts to revive the economy, the BOJ doubled its inflation target to 2 percent in January and made an open-ended pledge to buy assets from next year.
Under Shirakawa, the BOJ agreed to buy assets or make loans totalling 101 trillion yen (720 billion pounds) by the end of this year, part of which includes buying government bonds with a maturity of up to three years.
Abe nominated Kuroda to shake up the BOJ, and parliament is expect to confirm his appointment later this month. In a confirmation hearing this week, Kuroda advocated buying longer-dated Japanese government bonds to help end deflation.
Kuroda said buying longer-dated bonds would better foster inflation expectations and encourage an escape from deflation.
Abe's push for bolder monetary stimulus has helped weaken the yen to a near three-year low against the dollar, giving the export-reliant economy some relief and the BOJ some breathing space.

2 HASKINS & SELLS July Quantitative Measurements THE INFLUENCE of economic changes on the financial condition of individual enterprises is nowhere reflected more sharply than in stocks of merchandise. Cash may show an increase or decrease in amount when compared at two different dates and the change may have no secondary significance. Accounts receivable appearing in a lesser amount at the later of two dates indicate, from an economic point of view, that the enterprise at that time has less capital invested in that asset. Changes in inventories have a dual significance. They are stated in terms of dollars, but the dollar must be reinterpreted in the light of current prices. The period from 1921 to 1929 was one of increasing prices. During that period the general price level mounted steadily and generously. The problem constantly presented was one of replacements at higher prices. The same quantities at successively later periods showed increasingly larger numbers of dollars tied up in inventories. The immediate future, from a business viewpoint, was not so troublesome, because the general movement was upward, and there was reasonable prospect of selling goods at increasingly higher prices. Now the situation is reversed. Prices of cattle, for example, have declined to the lowest in twenty-five years. Two years ago, sirloin steak was selling at fifty-one cents a pound. On June 10, 1931, it sold at thirty-five cents a pound. Last year, in June, prime ribs retailed at forty-three cents a pound. Last week the retail price was twenty-three cents. The purchasing power of the retail meat-dollar has increased about eighty-seven per cent. The housewife with forty-three cents to spend for prime ribs of beef, may have almost two pounds now, instead of one pound a year ago. The housewife with twenty-three cents to spend now may have a pound of prime rib roast, whereas last year she might not have been able to buy any because of the high price. The dealer's inventory of one pound of beef last year would have shown forty-three cents invested in that commodity. This year the inventory would show one pound at twenty-three cents. Ostensibly, there has been a reduction of forty-six and one-half per cent. in the inventory. In reality, the inventory has not been reduced. The value of the inventory, based on current prices, has declined. This homely illustration suggests what may be expected in most lines of business, whether the inventory amounts to thousands or to millions of dollars. Prices generally have been following the curve applicable to meats, as may be seen from consulting the various price indices. Weekly average prices of representative commodities for the month of May, 1931, show the purchasing power of the dollar as 140.2, the year 1926 being used as the basis for comparison. For the same month in 1930, the

WHO International biological reference preparations
WHO Role
"To define an internationally agreed unit to allow comparison of biological measurements worldwide"
WHO provides Biological Reference Materials which serve as reference sources of defined biological activity expressed in an internationally agreed unit. These preparations are the basis of a uniform reporting system, helping physicians and scientists involved in patient care, regulatory authorities and manufacturing settings to communicate in a common language for designating the activity or potency of biological preparations used in prophylaxis or therapy, and ensuring the reliability of in vitro biological diagnostic procedures used for diagnosis of diseases and treatment monitoring.
This concept of using well-characterized preparations as references against which batches of biological products are assessed remains fundamental to ensuring the quality of biological products as well as the consistency of production and are essential for the establishment of appropriate clinical dosing. These preparations are generally intended for use in the characterization of the activity of secondary reference preparations (regional, national or in-house working standards). They are made for use in laboratory assays only and should not be administered to humans.
Establishment of WHO Reference Materials
The WHO Biological Reference Materials are established through a standard procedure, found in TRS 932, Annex 2, in which representative materials (often one of several candidates donated to WHO for the purpose) are tested by participating laboratories using their own methodologies. These scientific studies are designed and coordinated by a responsible WHO Collaborating Center. Upon establishment of the reference preparation by the ECBS, the material is assigned a unitage, often in International Units, and serve as the comparator against which results from laboratories, regardless of location or methods employed, can be standardized and compared.
TRS 932 Annex 2
Distribution of WHO Reference Materials
WHO biological reference materials are often in limited supply, and only distributed to qualified laboratories. These include National Control Laboratories and manufacturers of biological medicinal products. The materials are distributed through custodians, which are generally one of the WHO Collaborating Centers. A small handling fee is usually charged by the custodian to offset the costs of international shipments.
Catalogue of WHO Biological Reference Materials
The WHO biological reference materials are listed according to product class, along with identification numbers and custodians.

Who Is LulzSec?
LulzSec made headlines all over the world with its 50-day spree of hacking, leaking, DDoSing, website defacing, and yes, lots of lulz. We've analyzed the meaning of the hacktivist group's reign of cyber-mayhem, as well as LulzSec's methods.
Now let's look at what we know about the identities of LulzSec's members and their roles in the group.
None of the individuals that LulzSec itself has identified as its core group of six main membersSabu, Topiary, Kayla, T-Flow, Avanit, and Pwnsaucehas been arrested by authorities as of this week. Given LulzSec's penchant for trickery, it's always possible that some of those handles don't even represent distinct individuals.
But we can get an idea about who those Lulz Boat-steering pranksters are through various media reports and "doxes" published by LulzSec's rivals in the hacktivist underground, as well as leaked Internet Relay Chat (IRC) logs published and analyzed by the Guardian.
One thing we won't do is publish the supposed real-life names of the LulzSec members and associates we're profiling here. It's easy enough to find documentation around the Internet that purportedly outs various LulzSec players, if one chooses to look.
Instead, we're interested in connecting the various dots to paint a picture of how this tight-knit group of hacktivists coalesced out of the AnonOps hacking wing of Anonymous and its loose affiliate gn0sis, leaning heavily on the Guardian's deep-diving legwork, but also on LulzSec's own leaked admissions and the work of dedicated LulzSec outers like Backtrace Security, Team Web Ninjas, and lone-wolf LulzSec-stalker the Jester.
The LulzSec story as told by the Internet is a convoluted one, with bits of information that contradict others. This is by no means a finished story. But maybe endings are overrated in the long run. Read ahead for the whole fascinating, if open-ended tale.

Queen shows fighting spirit, walks out of hospital
LONDON -- Last month, USA TODAY wrote about the unlikely scenario that would see the United Kingdom's Queen Elizabeth take a cue from Pope Benedict XVI and resign her office due to health reasons.
No way, was the consensus from experts, and even from the queen herself -- based on past statements reflecting her attitudes to public service and the moral necessity to keep on keeping on. It's not starting the job that's difficult, it's seeing it through, another British female leader -- Margaret Thatcher -- is fond of remarking, a saying of her grocer father's. As far as anyone can tell, the queen wants to see it through.
And on Monday, she proved that when she walked out unassisted of King Edward VII Hospital in London after receiving treatment for a suspected case of gastroenteritis.
POPE VS. QUEEN:Unlike pope, no 'cheerio' likely from queen
The well-being of Britain's official head of state is no trifling matter, of course, but the doting British press weren't given that much to go on in terms of reporting the queen's ailment, which forced her first hospitalization in 10 years. However, the subtext from the various non-announcements was clear, and it chimes with the queen's preferred operating mode: No reason for alarm, nothing to see here, move along now. Above all, there must be NO fuss. There certainly won't be any resigning.
Still, on Monday, as the queen spent her second day recovering at King Edward VII Hospital in London, the British bulldog spirit was once again in evidence. Buckingham Palace wasn't saying much. She's being assessed but is in good health. It's just a precautionary measure. She's in "good spirits." That kind of thing.
So what was a royal press to do? The Sun tabloid newspaper -- under the headline "Her Majesty the Queasy" -- focused on the queen's health record: Wisdom tooth removed in 1982, stitches in hand after a bite from her corgi in 1993, bloodshot eye in 2006, etc. The Daily Mirror noted that sometimes we just forget that she is 86, after all. The Daily Telegraph mused that even a highly devoted monarch needs to sometimes just let go and admit she's ill and get the necessary care.
Such was the dearth of available information that a great deal of column inches was given over to a discussion of two police officers who were standing guard outside King Edward VII's Hospital on Sunday evening. The two officers are known as "Big Tone" and "Little Tone," because -- you guessed it -- at 7 feet 2 inches Anthony Wallyn towers over his 5-foot-6 partner Tony Thich. "Big Tone," Sky News reported, gets 100 to 500 requests for a photo every day. Further, The Guardian is holding a "caption competition" where readers can speculate on what "these two amusingly paired officers" could be saying.

The Aldrich Alert
A Publication of the Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty
by Gary Aldrich - Volume I, Issue 6
What a difference an election makes. After a surprising first-place finish in New Hampshire, and a substantial second place in Delaware, where he did not campaign, Senator John McCain has created a full-fledged race in the Republican Party process to select a worthy candidate. Suddenly, George W. Bush is no longer considered the inevitable winner.
Perhaps one reason why Bush is loosing ground to McCain is that McCain is pointing at the 800-pound elephant in the room -- the Clinton-Gore character issue. After he lost the 92 election, and when true character problems surfaced in the Clinton-Gore Administration, President Bush was quick to tell the media that he did not believe in criticizing his successor. It was about politeness and civility, you see. Nevertheless, much damage has been done to the institutions that his administration worked so hard to build. I'm a fan of the Bush family, but even I've been puzzled by the silence.
But, that was then, and this is now - this is for all the marbles, but even Governor Bush seems reluctant to point a finger at such obvious wrongs, instead using veiled language and general statements about maturity and decency needed in our White House. Can't he understand that the American people are desperate for leadership about these real life issues?
This weekend, I attended conservative meetings in St. Louis, where hundreds of concerned citizens, mostly parents and grandparents, expressed dismay and bafflement at the apparent surgical way the entire Bush family stays away from frank discussions about "the elephant." To some, it appears that they have made a science out of avoiding the many horrible things Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, and Gore are doing to the presidency, our national security and our nation's values.
Governor Bush should consider that if he doesn't address the Clinton character issues and the serious damage that has been done by these counterculture socialists from the Sixties - he stands to cede the big character issue to McCain. Senator McCain's war record makes him the apparent anecdote for the "virus" the Clintons bring to our nation's capitol.
I am not sure Senator McCain is the correct cure for what ails us now. His temperament, the shady deals known as the "Keating Five" and his stated position that non profit foundations like this one are somehow a threat to our national elections and health, make him a scary and questionable choice. What's wrong with asking government hard questions?
However, I know the Bush family very well. They are decent and law abiding, and I have no fear at all that a "new" Bush Administration could damage my children's future, as long as conservatives like us keep the pressure up for real meaningful change and reform. Governor Bush does not fear public opinion, but Senator McCain has already said he intends to try to silence organizations that educate, organize and galvanize the grassroots.
Some leaders in our nation's history also didn't want interference from those they called "the mob." Patrick Henry disagreed. He was "of the people." Patrick Henry, George Mason, and a few others insisted that the First, Second, and other key Amendments were the very rights that would keep us free and strong. They were not afraid of the people!
Rules of Civility? Heck, as polite as he was, George Washington knew when to pick up the sword. I hope George W. Bush will follow the lead of Patrick Henry and George Washington. If he does -- if he addresses the serious character issues and the damage done to our institutions and our nation's values, then his quest should be easily won.

Gorillas display many human-like behaviors and emotions, such as laughter and sadness. They even make their own tools to help them survive in the forest. In fact, gorillas share 98.3% of their genetic code with humans, making them our closest cousins after chimpanzees and bonobos. The largest of the great apes, gorillas are stocky animals with broad chests and shoulders, large, human-like hands and small eyes set into hairless faces.
100,000 to 200,000
Scientific Name
Gorilla gorilla and Gorilla beringei
4-6 ft.
up to 440 pounds
Gorillas live in family groups of usually 5 to 10, but sometimes two to more than 50, led by a dominant male who holds his position for years. Females become sexually mature around seven or eight years old but don't begin to breed until a couple of years later. Males mature at an even greater age. Once a female begins to breed, she'll likely give birth to only one baby every four to six years, and only three or four over her entire lifetime. This low rate of reproduction makes it difficult for gorillas to recover from population declines. Both gorilla species have been decreasing in numbers for decades, and a 2010 United Nations report suggests that they may disappear from large parts of the Congo Basin by the mid-2020s.
Conservation efforts by WWF, other organizations and governments are making a difference for gorillas. New protected areas are being designated for some gorilla populations, and the population of mountain gorillas has seen an increase in recent years.

The Gorilla Family
Why They Matter
Our Closest Cousins
Gorillas share 98.3% of their DNA with humans, making them our closest cousins after chimpanzees and bonobos. These charismatic, intelligent animals often surprise us with behaviors and emotions so similar to our human experience.
Gorillas Help Maintain Forests
Gorillas play a key role in maintaining the biodiversity of their forest homes by spreading the seeds of the trees they eat and by opening up gaps in the trees as they move around, letting in light and helping sun-loving plants grow.
Protecting Gorilla Habitat Helps Humans
In Central Africa, humans depend on the same environment as gorillas for their food, water, medicine and other forest products. Protecting forests that house gorillas also conserves the forests for the humans that live there. The Congo Basin is home to the second largest tropical rainforest on Earth, which serves as the green heart of Africa. Moisture generated by this forest falls as rain in the United States, meaning that the impact of the loss of this forest will be felt globally.
- Population 100,000 to 200,000
Like humans, gorillas reproduce slowly, giving birth to only one baby at a time and then raising that infant for several years before giving birth again. This slow reproduction rate makes gorillas especially vulnerable to any population declines.
Habitat destruction is a problem across their central African range. Gorillas are also still killed for the bushmeat trade. That trade has helped spread the Ebola virus, which is deadly to both gorillas and humans. Efforts to protect gorillas are often hampered by weak law enforcement and civil unrest in many places where gorillas live.
Only 17% of the gorilla population currently lives in protected regions, and vast areas of gorilla forest have already been lost. That destruction continues as logging companies clear areas for the timber trade, the mining and oil and gas industries move into gorilla territory, and local people cut down trees to make room for agricultural fields and livestock.
In some cultures in central Africa, the killing and eating of gorillas has increased in recent years and the animals are frequently slaughtered for the bushmeat trade.
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a severe, infectious, often fatal disease that has devastated many African great ape populations. Scientists in 2003 estimated that a third of the wild gorilla population had been killed by the Ebola virus, and the species remain at risk. Additionally, because gorillas share so many traits with humans, they are susceptible to other human diseases. Populations of gorillas that are in frequent contact with humans are particularly vulnerable to deadly respiratory infections. In mountain gorilla range, where gorillas frequently raid farms, they are susceptible to scabies, TB and a host of other diseases from human transmission.
Both the killing of gorillas and trade in gorilla products are illegal across the animals' range, but poachers, traders and consumers are rarely apprehended
What WWF Is Doing
Because poaching is a problem across central Africa, WWF works with TRAFFIC, the world's largest wildlife trade monitoring network, and the World Conservation Union to monitor the illegal trade of gorillas and other great apes. WWF also advocates for nations to more effectively enforce wildlife laws and raises awareness in local villages of the dangers of eating bushmeat. In addition, WWF has trained local wildlife authorities in modern methods of antipoaching and gorilla monitoring and provided equipment and provisions for anti-poaching teams in several nations.
Ecotourism provides opportunities for protecting gorillas and their forest homes and for helping the local people. WWF has habituated gorilla groups to humans to develop opportunities for gorilla tourism. The organization has also trained trackers and guides as part of the development of controlled tourism programs.
WWF conducts research into the ecology, distribution and population biology of gorillas. The organization also supports research into the spread of diseases between humans and gorillas and the natural spread of diseases such as Ebola, as well as disease prevention. Park rangers are often the ones monitoring gorillas, and so WWF and our partners have established a ranger-based monitoring program for mountain gorillas that documented a 17% increase in gorilla numbers in the Virunga Mountains over a 14-year period.
Habitat destruction is a concern for all four gorilla subspecies. WWF has worked to designate new protected areas for gorillas in many places, like in Cameroon, where gorilla sanctuaries would provide havens for the rare cross river gorilla as well as the western lowland gorilla. WWF also collaborates with local governments in the Congo Basin, timber companies and international lending institutions to promote dialogue, encourage the best environmental practices and promote the adoption of forest certification standards.

Went For A Run? Do These 4 Pilates Moves To Slim Faster & Prevent Injury
Every yin needs its yang, and that includes your workouts! For runners (especially those who completed yesterday's ING NYC Marathon) that means doing Pilates!
Here's why: Pilates preaches proper posture, muscular balance, a strong core and breath control, which all happen to be key elements in reducing injury and improving stamina.
"Pilates is an excellent choice for runners due to its inherent movement principles that balance strength and flexibility. Pilates moves open tight hip flexors and hamstrings, strengthen hip adductors, abductors and quadriceps muscles to help keep runners's knee and hip joints more stable," says Pilates expert, and owner of re:AB studio in NYC, Brooke Siler. (Siler's celeb clientele reads like a red carpet guest list, including Zooey Deschanel, Madonna, Kirsten Dunst, Liv Tyler and Rachel Weisz.) "Pilates' balance of strength and flexibility in the hips helps create proper biomechanics which leads to knee joint stability and function. And by eliminating the bulk of overworked musculature, Pilates ensures that runners remain long, lean, and injury-free."
[#image: /photos/57d8dce950778cef321a6835]||||||
"The joint-pounding strain endured by many runners often results in symptoms including: Plantar Fasciitis, Shin splints, Patellofemoral pain syndrome (knee pain), tight hip flexors and hamstrings and low back pain, to name a few," Siler says. "In Pilates we can work with the stability of a "Magic Circle" (an excellent runner's prop!) in order to help runners engage weak vastus mediali (inside of the quads) again working to eliminate patellofemoral (knee) pain syndrome."
And the cherry on top is that a study published earlier this year in Women & Health found that life satisfaction may improve after six months of Pilates-based mat exercise. Siler shares four slimming Pilates exercises perfect for recovering runners:
1. 2 x 4 exercise
Helps prevent plantar fasciitis, achilles tendonitis and shin splints. Strengthens ankles, stretches calf muscles.
- Stand on a 2x4 plank (or step's edge), with heels together and toes apart, inner thighs pressed tightly together. Draw your "powerhouse" (Pilates-speak for low abs) in and up and gently rise up onto the balls of your feet.
- Bend knees slowly (count of 3) until in a plie position without allowing bottom to stick out.
- Slowly lower heels to the floor and stand up by drawing inner thighs together. Heels remain together throughout all movements.
- Repeat 5-8x and then reverse the sequence.
2. Standing Twist
This StandingIliotibial Bandstretch helps to aid in prevention ofIT BandSyndrome.
- Stand with legs open wider than shoulders' width, toes slightly turned out and arms extended to sides of room, reaching for opposing walls. With weight on balls of feet, begin twisting your body to the right allowing hips and legs to follow the waistline (so you'll swivel on your toes).
- Continue twisting until upper body faces back of the room and legs are completely crossed with no pressure in knees. Leaving lower body still, continue turning upper body to the right as you reach down to take hold of your left calf or ankle (right leg will bend, left remains straight). Allow your head weight to drop toward the left knee and hold for a count of 3.
- Slowly begin unwinding your body to the left, passing through each movement of the sequence as you return to the start. Repeat the sequence twisting to the left.
- Continue alternating the sequence until you have completed 3 standing twists to each side.
3. Inner Thigh Lifts & Circles
Stretches the IT Band and strengthens gluteus medius.
- Lie on your right side with left foot crossed in front of your right leg, left foot flat on floor and kneecap facing ceiling. Rest your head on your right arm and with the other hand take hold of your left ankle or press palm down into mat in front of you.
- Extend your straight leg (right leg) and raise it off the floor, turning your heel slightly toward the ceiling. Lift and lower your inner thigh without allowing it to touch the mat. Emphasis on the lift!
- Repeat 8-10x and then hold in the lifted position and circle your leg forward 8-10x and backwards 8-10x. Switch sides and repeat sequence.
4. Front Split
Part 1 opens the hip flexors and hamstrings and loosens a tight low back while part 2 strengthens quads and glutes. It also helps prevent runner's knee by strengthening quads to keep the kneecap aligned, and stretching hips to allow for proper biomechanics while running.
- (part 1) Kneel on a mat with your powerhouse pulled in and up. Open arms for balance and step one foot far forward and bend your knee. Place palms or fingertips down on either side of your foot. Make sure your front heel is directly underneath your front knee.
- Straighten your back leg off the ground with toes flexed under you (so you are in a low lunge position). Do not move forward or back. Make sure you are still lifted in your powerhouse. Lengthen more through the front of your back hip by tightening your glutes as you stretch your heel further away.
- (part 2) Lower your back knee to the mat and straighten your front leg bowing your body forward and stretching your hamstring. Keep your upper body weight lifted off the front leg by contracting your abdominals up into your low back. To intensify the stretch in your hamstring and calf, flex your front ankle.
- Return to the forward starting position and repeat sequence 3x before switching legs.

WOODBURN, Ore. – Adam Bean and Derek Wilson earned All-NWC First Team honors in leading the Puget Sound men's golf team at the NWC Championships this weekend. The men's team took third in the tournament and the women's team was eighth.
Bean was even with par for the second day in a row to take third in the tournament. He fired a two-day score of 144 (E) to pace the Loggers. Wilson shaved a couple strokes off of his day one round with a one-over 73 on Sunday. He finished four over par to take fourth.
Bean started the day one stroke off the lead but Linfield's Adam Ruben was one under par for the second day in a row to take medalist honors. Ryan Kukula was also one-under par on Sunday to finish one stroke ahead of Bean.
Matt Kitto shot a 78 (+6) on Sunday to finish 10 over par for the tournament in 17th. Ricky Howard cut down his second round by five strokes to finish 15-over for the tournament. He was just five over par on Sunday.
The Loggers were four strokes better as a team on Sunday but didn't catch Linfield or Whitworth in the team standings. They turned in a two-day scorecard of 604 (+28) to take third. Whitworth overcame Linfield for the team title and completed the sweep of the three "major" tournaments in the NWC. They locked up the NWC's automatic qualification into the NCAA Championships.
The women's team took 19 strokes off its day one score but remained in eighth at the championship tournament. The Loggers turned in a two-day scorecard of 837 (+261).
Halle Peterson led the dramatic improvement on day two of the championship, shaving 12 strokes off her score. Peterson shot an 85 (+12) to jump up to 24th on the leaderboard. Ev Grier also took five strokes off her day one total to finish in 30th. Peterson shot a 182 (+38) while Grier was 51-over with a 195.
Lauren Boniface turned in a two-day scorecard of 225 (+81) while Madison Cox rounded out the team scoring with a 235 (+91). Cox took nine strokes off her day one total.
George Fox won the women's team title with the Bruins' Kelsey Morrison winning the individual title.
The championships spelled the end of the season for both teams. The Logger men finished third in the NWC standings by half a point while the Logger women finished eighth in the standings.

Microsoft's Blue Screen of Death has been simultaneously worrying and pissing people off since Windows 1.0. No doubt trying to add a bit of sexy glamour to an otherwise frustrating experience, Microsoft's next OS looks to include a black screen.
The change in colors (well, color to an absence of color) was dug up in an early build of Windows 8, and photographed by forum user Canouna. It's possible Microsoft could have a change in heart and decide not to paint everything in black—after all, early copies of Windows 98 and Vista showed a Red Screen of Death. It's just as well they defaulted back to the BSOD—I would've had a heart attack seeing a blood-red RSOD flashing up. [My Digital Life via Winrumors]

High Entropy Alloys VIII
Presentation Title
Nanomolding Far and Close to Equilibrium
Naijia Liu, Sungwoo Sohn, Jan Schroers, Arindam Raj , Guannan Liu
On-Site Speaker (Planned)
Naijia Liu
Abstract Scope
Tremendous effort has been taken during the last two decades in the development of nano fabrication techniques for metals as they exhibit desirable functional properties. However, both bottom-up and top-down fabrication approaches are limited in some critical aspects such as material choice, geometry, and scalability. A highly versatile and widely used fabrication method is molding, which is generally associated with a soft state of a material. Nanomolding has been realized for polymers, gels, and some glasses, such as metallic glasses that soften at elevated temperatures, but not for crystalline metals that remain hard in their crystalline state. Recently, we discovered that nanomolding is possible with crystalline metals. Scaling considerations reveal that the underlying process is based on atomic diffusion down a pressure gradient. Most effective at ~0.5 Tm, such thermomechanical nanomolding (TMNM of crystalline metals) results in very high aspect ratio up to 1000 and nanowires as small as 5 nm in diameter.
