Child Craft's Step Toward Modern: Soho Collection
Child Craft has been making baby furnishings for over half a century, but their offerings usually stay in their traditional style wheelhouse. So I was pleasantly surprised to see this more modern line in their booth with clean lines and featuring of-the-moment grey.
The line is a collaboration with Sauder and is made in the U.S.A., and sold ready-to-assemble. I particularly like that the style has longevity and I can as easily picture it in a nursery as a teenager's room (sans crib, of course). The grey leans toward taupe and the wood stain has almost a rustic feel which softens the look up.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
1990 Ford Mustang LX - Blaze Of Glory
Young gun Tyler Garcia wanted the fastest car in school, so he built one with used parts
Some folks like to complain that going fast is only possible with cubic dollars. It's easy to write off building a cool car because you aren't loaded. It's even easier to blame getting beaten by one based on how the car was funded. However, sometimes it's hard work and ingenuity that make a car fast.
Such was the case with Tyler Garcia. He fell for the Fox Mustang in his teens and he never looked back. "I got the car when I was 15 years old. This was my first car. My aunt had a Fox Mustang, and I wanted one of my own," Tyler explained.
Now most of us have fallen for these cars by being around them, but often we've had to wait years to make that dream a reality. Tyler moved a lot faster than that. "We found the car in the Houston Green Sheet, went to see it, and bought it that day," he explained. "It was bone-stock. It took me about a week to decide I wanted the fastest car in school."
To make that dream a reality, Tyler took a part-time job at Strictly Performance in Pearland, Texas, where he earned the used parts he wanted for his car. While building up his first Fox with these used parts, Tyler became known on the local racing scene. Actually, he became infamous.
"I was a 'young gun' racing all the old guys and taking their money," Tyler said. "Many of the sore losers that I raced accused me of using 'Daddy's money' to build the car. Little did they know that I got most of my parts for free."
You might expect that the story could have taken a turn with Tyler riding off into the sunset. Maybe he'd turned his local success into running a national drag racing series. However, this story didn't take a turn at all. Instead, it kept going in a straight line—well past 1,320 feet.
"I started dating my girlfriend, and her stepdad, Tommy Gates, introduced me to the standing mile. He had been racing his Hayabusa at the Texas Mile event in Beeville, Texas, for years."
Tyler and the Texas Mile hit it off in a big way. He and his Fox came running strong right out of the gate with a 191-mph pass at his first event in October 2011.
As with any great story, there was a bit of strife before he achieved his goal. After two runs, he hurt the engine. However, he set his sights on the Texas Mile's gold standard—200 mph.
He tried again at the March 2012 event, and this time he was stuck at 191 mph and Third gear failed. "This is when I decided to totally bulletproof the car and get a TKO transmission," he said. "We tuned the car some more and tried again at the October 2012 event, where we made two passes and went 203.8 and 210.2 mph."
After this accomplishment, videos of Tyler's exploits spread across the Internet at speeds far exceeding 200 mph. The Mustang world was abuzz with the exploits of this 200-mph Fox. We were among those ready to celebrate Tyler's accomplishments. "Everyone was blown away that an old Fox could hit speeds that high," Tyler said. "...but with the right build, we were able to set a world record."
It's hard to argue with those results, and it serves as a reminder that not every fast car is built with the benefit of a large checkbook. 5.0
Horse Sense: Run twice a year at the Chase Field Industrial Complex in Beeville, Texas, the Texas Mile offers racers the opportunity to run flat-out for a full mile with a half-mile shutdown. The classification groupings are for street-legal, non-street-legal, and exhibition vehicles running as fast as 130, 160, 190, and over 200 mph.

Michael Savage scolds NRA over Batman massacre
Exclusive: Kathy Shaidle recaps most controversial talk on air
Michael Savage
Ever the independent thinker, Savage's analysis of the Aurora, Colo., massacre was bound to provoke listeners on both sides of the aisle.
First he called upon the president to call for a temporary ban on the movie "The Dark Knight Rises" – then quickly explained why Obama would never dare to do such a thing (FREE audio).
"The one to blame are the ones who did this movie," he said, "that conglomeration of Hollywood moguls who are the new czars of America. The ones who gave us Obama."
No doubt some were surprised by Savage's other target for blame: the NRA.
Savage insisted that the National Rifle Association was guilty of "demanding no control for any weapon or ammunition. It's insanity." (FREE audio)
He explained, "We're not at war. You're never going to go to war with your government, because you're going to lose. Don't be stupid already. I don't want to hear it anymore. I'm tired of this cracker stuff. … And I'm a gun owner."
Rush Limbaugh
Talk radio pioneer Rush Limbaugh was also an "early adopter" in another medium. While debunking Obama's talking point that the Defense Department invented the Internet, Limbaugh delivered a fascinating history lesson that demonstrated his passion for home computers and the web, long before they became staples of modern life (FREE audio).
Part of Obama's trouble, Limbaugh added, was that his background isn't one the average American can relate to (FREE audio).
"Where's the hardscrabble life?" Rush asked listeners rhetorically. "Where's the growin' up in the Midwest? … There's no life story that Obama has that has much in common with anybody in this country. Obama had a communist, bigamist, absentee father from Kenya. How many people in America can lay claim to that?"
Aaron Klein
Will Obama use the mass murder in Aurora to usher in United Nations-sanctioned gun control? Aaron Klein raised that troubling possibility this week.
He also talked to Sheriff Joe Arpaio's lead investigator to discuss this latest findings related to the president's controversial birth certificate (FREE audio).
Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton offered his insider perspective on whether or not Israel is poised to strike Iran. Meanwhile, Klein investigates persistent reports that Hillary Clinton's chief of staff is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Mark Levin
"You go around without armed bodyguards, and then I'll think about turning in my weapons!" – That was Mark Levin's defiant challenge to New York City's Mayor Bloomberg, after the latter's bizarre call on police to go on strike to protest in favor of more gun control (FREE audio).
Robert Spencer of JihadWatch.com came on to talk to Levin about Obama's reluctance to denounce the Muslim Brotherhood's influence at home and abroad, and the internal Republican Party battle about the same subject (FREE audio).
Laura Ingraham
Laura's listeners enjoyed a rare treat: an interview with the legendary Phyllis Schlafly, one of the most important and powerful conservative woman in America. The veteran grassroots activist, author, military expert and debater extraordinaire talked about the Obama administration's hostility towards religious freedom.
Ohio State Treasurer Josh Mandel is running for Senate. He talked to Ingraham about his plan to expand oil and gas drilling across the state – and to fire union bosses! He also reminded listeners that Ohio is a swing state, so its leadership is a national issue.
Laura and William Kristol talked about Romney's approach to foreign policy. He praised the candidate's decision to travel abroad, because it will help establish Romney as knowledgeable about foreign policy (FREE audio).
Glenn Beck
This week, Glenn Beck held his "Restoring Love" gathering in his new home of Dallas, Texas.
The third in a series of mass gatherings that have previously drawn thousands of conservatives to Washington, D.C., and Israel, "Restoring Love" is not intended to be a political event.
Beck explained to listeners before the rally, "It's important to reach across all boundaries that normally separate us. Christians, Jews, atheists – I don't care. I really don't. Time to put our differences aside just like Thomas Payne and John Adams did. I'll meet with anybody. I'll stand with anybody."
And now, from the left side of the dial …
CBS Radio recently sponsored a forum called "Showdown 2012: Recapturing Democracy." This highly partisan gathering featured CBS Radio on-air talent like Randi Rhodes, Ron Reagan Jr. and other low-rated "progressive talkers," all brainstorming about how to help Obama win reelection.
Since these "talkers" have little real world influence anyway, the event in and of itself will have little impact on November's results.
However, it does raise a question: Can you imagine one of the "Big Three" networks sponsoring a "conservative talk radio forum"? It's impossible, isn't it?

The drama "Vegas" was inspired by the true story of former Vegas Sheriff Ralph Lamb (Dennis Quaid, left), a rancher tasked with bringing order to 1960s Las Vegas as it begins its rise as a gambling and entertainment mecca. Lamb finds himself repeatedly clashing with Vincent Savino (Michael Chiklis, right), a ruthless Chicago gangster who plans to make Vegas his own. "Vegas" debuts at 9 p.m. Sept. 25 on CBS. CBS said Sunday that Sarah Jones ("Alcatraz") will join the show as a series regular in the second episode of the freshman series. Jones will play Mia Rizzo, the smart daughter of one of Chicago's most powerful men, who works in a casino's "count room," running a scam designed to funnel cash back to Chicago.

Zahra Baker's skull positively identified
Zahra Baker's skull positively identified
A skull found in a wooded area of Caldwell County last spring has been positively been identified as Zahra Baker's.
Investigators used a DNA profile to match the skull to Zahra, WCNC reported. The exam didn't provide any more information on how she was killed, police said.
Baker, 10, was found dead and dismembered in September 2010. Her stepmother Elisa pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in September 2011. She was sentenced to at least 15 years in prison.
A hunter found Baker's skull in April 2012. The SBI Crime Lab, the state medical examiner and Marshall University in West Virginia collaborated to identify her skull.
Her remains will be returned to family.

As the semester winds down, undergraduate and graduate student artists will unveil their best works at the 2008 School of Art Exhibition Dec. 6 – 20 at UH's Blaffer Gallery.
Each year, this popular exhibition offers UH students the opportunity to present their works in a professional museum setting. It also provides Houston art aficionados with a first look at tomorrow's art stars.
Works on view in the exhibition will include paintings, sculpture, video, ceramics, graphic communications, photography and interior design. The public also will have the opportunity to visit the students' studios and talk informally with the artists about their work during an opening reception at 6 p.m., Dec. 5.
"To be in the company of so many talented student artists is an honor," said Lisa Garrett, senior graphic communications student.

Difference between revisions of "Novgorod"
Revision as of 22:50, 23 February 2010
Novgorod (Russian: Великий Новгород Velikii Novgorod) is one of the oldest cities in Russia. It was first mentioned in the manuscripts as early as 859.
The city of Novgorod The Great (Novgorod Veliky) is located between Moscow and Saint Petersburg; its population is estimated at 230,000 people; it is one of the most culturally important cities in Russia.
Novgorod was first mentioned in the manuscripts as early as 859. Together with Kiev, Novgorod was a very important cultural, social and economical centre in Rus'.
Get in
By plane
Novgorod Airport (IATA code: NVR) is currently not operational. It was a busy airport during USSR, but then, due to country's economical situation, had to cease its operations. It has reopened in 1998 with a daily flight to Moscow's Sheremetyevo I (on Yak-40 fleet). This charter flight also came to an end in late 1999. There were plans to open Krechevitsy as a civil airport for the 1150 Anniversary of the city, but the progress in not confirmed.
By train
Train is usually the cheapest way of getting to and from Novgorod. The station is located at the west end of the city center, within 15 minutes' walk of the Detinets (Kremlin). Note that for the elektrichka trains from/to St. Petersburg (train number begins with a 6), tickets can only be purchased on the day of travel, there are no assigned seats, and the cost is about 250 Rubles. For trains # 801 and 802 tickets can be purchased in advance. Two cars have soft seats, versus plastic ones in other cars and other elektrichkas. The price is 275 Rubles for a regular seat, 295 Rubles for a soft seat, which is assigned on a ticket. All trains and elektrichkas have bathrooms on borad - trains have them in the first and last car, elektrichkas have them in the first car only. All trains and elektrichkas also make a brief stop in Chudovo, where you can get out of the train and use a very unpleasantly dirty bathroom. When purchasing the ticket, check the duration of this stop.
From Saint Petersburg, two trains daily from Moskovskiy Vokzal terminal for suburban trains. The seats are not very comfortable, but there is a lot of leg-room space and the windows are there to enjoy the scenery. In between the wagons it is also allowed to smoke.
By bus
Several buses run daily from Saint Petersburg Bus Terminal to Novgorod, with a travel time of about 3.5 hours. Buses to Moscow run only during the summertime, but the trip is long and inconvenient.
Get around
By bus
Novgorod has both bus and trolleybus systems. Running approximately every 5 minutes, buses and trolleybuses will get you to every part of the city.
By cab
Like almost everywhere in Russia you can wave your arm and a car will stop to take you anywhere in town. You can cross the whole center for 80 roubles (3 USD).
By foot
Novgorod is a walking-friendly city, and if you like long walks, everything in the city is within walking distance. The advantage is also that you have a chance to see the beautiful architecture of the city.
Souvenirs, particularly wooden handicrafts and birch-bark paintings, can be found at many locations, including the souvenir market on Sennaya Square (to one's right as one faces the Kremlin from Sofiyskaya Square and the Lenin Statue).
Honey mead is a local favorite.

Ashley breaks out: Ashley Dupré, the prostitute whose tryst with soon-to-be-former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer led to his downfall, has used the media frenzy surrounding the scandal to launch her career in music. Billboard magazine went so far as to have music-industry executives review her two songs featured on AmieStreet.com, where they have set record-breaking download numbers. Even the Wall Street Journal has posted user-created mashup videos of the young singer. Bloggers have been quick to comment on her ascendant career.
Gawker points out the hilarity of the past week, as media personalities scramble to make money off the scandal: "In America, when two adults have consensual sex, and the circumstances are just right, they give birth to a vibrant media subeconomy, and this is the continuing miracle of the story of disgraced Gov. Eliot Spitzer and admired prostitute Ashley Kristen Alexandra Nina Vanetta DiPietro Dupre." Sister blog Wonkette sees Dupré as finally fulfilling the dreams all Americans have held for prostitutes since Pretty Woman debuted: "Truly this is just like that movie with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, but if the Richard Gere character lost his job and his dignity and then got indicted on federal white-slavery charges."
Entertainment Weekly's Popwatch gives a cogent summary of the conventional wisdom on Dupré's foray into the celebrity world: "Slightly better than Heidi Montag. Light years from Edith Piaf. That's the generous verdict for the musical talents of Ashley Alexandra Dupré, a.k.a. 'Kristen,' the high-priced prostitute linked to disgraced New York governor Eliot Spitzer."
In a more serious light, George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley explores the legal ramifications of Dupre's success: "[H]er celebrity status does represent some value. While past sex celebrities like Jessica Culter (the so-called Washingtonienne) ultimately declared bankruptcy, … there is an obvious value from such attention. Use of her image for commercial purposes can be actionable as misappropriation. Of course, any profit making will have to coincide with any time served on the underlying crimes. She already has a lawyer, but do not be surprised to see her acquire an agent. This is America where there are no good or bad celebrities. Just celebrities."
One potential bump on the road to stardom: The MySpace page that told of her rough childhood and stints of homelessness and drug abuse? Not quite 100 percent true. At Slate's XX Factor, Hanna Rosin dishes about Ashley's newly discovered origins: "OK, so I am a sucker, or at the very least confused. Ashley grew up in a nice middle-class suburban neighborhood? She spent her young days cheerleading and putting up signs for baby-sitting? … All I can say is, the fathers of Wall, N.J., must have been begging her to baby-sit."
Read more about Ashley/Kristin.
Penned in:Mark Penn,Hillary Clinton's chief strategist, made headlines when he insisted that Barack Obama would be unelectable in the general election, despite the fact that he leads among pledged delegates, states won, and the popular vote.
Marc Ambinder patently denies Penn's assertion: "Of course Obama can win the general election; it's illogical to generalize from the vote totals alone, as I and others have pointed out. Yes, Obama's Gary Hart-Jesse Jackson coalition is untested in modern general elections, but we live in hyperpartisan times, Democrats have an enormous partisan identification advantage, and Democrats are much more enthusiastic about their candidate than Republicans are."
Jonathan Chait at the New Republic's Plank worries that such claims might take hold: "She needs to convince the remaining uncommitted superdelegates to split for her by about a 2-to-1 margin. The only way she can get a split like that is if she can persuasively argue that Obama is unelectable. And the only way she can do that is to make him unelectable. Some people have treated this as an unfortunate byproduct of Clinton's decision to continue her campaign. It's actually a central element of the strategy." Jonathan Singer at liberal MyDD agrees and fears what lengths the Clinton campaign will go to in order to win the nomination: "With this in mind, the most sensible conclusion I seem to be able to infer from Penn's statements are that after the Clinton campaign gets done with Obama he won't be able to win a national election—in other words a promise from the Clinton campaign to make Obama unelectable."
The National Journal may not agree with Penn's arguments, but Ronald Brownstein does believe there are legitimate concerns with Obama's electability. "If Obama runs well, he seems more likely than Clinton to assemble a big majority and trigger a Democratic sweep—not only by attracting independents and crossover Republicans but also by increasing turnout among African-Americans and young people. But if Obama stumbles, he could face a greater danger of fracturing the traditional Democratic coalition by losing seniors and blue-collar whites to McCain, principally on security issues. Clinton's reach across the electorate may not be as long, but her grip on her voters could be firmer."

An autopsy performed Tuesday determined that hypothermia and coronary atherosclerosis caused the death of a 56-year-old man found unresponsive on a South Side street Monday, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
About 9:20 a.m. Monday in the Fernwood neighborhood, authorities found Riccardo White unconscious in the 10000 block of South Wentworth Avenue.
White, who lived in the 1000 block of West 105th Street, was taken to Roseland Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 10:03 a.m., according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Following an autopsy performed Tuesday, the medical examiner's office listed hypothermia following cold exposure as the primary cause of White's death. Coronary atherosclerosis was found to be a secondary cause.
White's death was ruled an accident.

Brash Entertainment announced today that key Hollywood talent from the upcoming animated movie, Space Chimps, will be featured in their videogame of the same name. Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm, RV) and Patrick Warburton (Bee Movie, Seinfeld) reprise their roles from the movie, Luna and Titan respectively, for the videogame. Based on the highly anticipated film produced by Vanguard Animation and presented by Starz Animation, the videogame is slated for release on July 15, 2008, just days before the film's July 18, 2008 debut.
In the Space Chimps game, players follow the adventures of pioneering primates on a mission into outer space. Cheryl Hines as Luna, is a by the books, go-getting chimp, who graduated top of her astronaut training class. As the interactive plot of the game unfolds, Luna's level head becomes an asset, and players take control of the character to explore alien territories and complete quests that explore lands and characters beyond the plot of the movie. Patrick Warburton as Titan, is the commanding officer of their space craft, and uses his deep stern voice to keep his crew in line. However, his quick temper and tendency to go bananas makes leading a squad difficult at times for this commanding chimp.
"I think it is really fun to have a videogame that goes along with the movie," explained Cheryl Hines, who voices Luna in Space Chimps the game and the film. "It gives fans a chance to be part of the movie by playing as their favorite characters, while exploring new adventures."
Space Chimps the game will be available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, and the Wii and Nintendo DS videogame systems from Nintendo. The game is rated 'E' by the ESRA and will be available at retailers nationwide July 15, 2008.

Angela and Yoojin Kim, sisters from Korea, net the biggest deal in Shark Tank history as all 5 sharks teamed up to seed the company with an a staggering $2.5 million dollars! In just a short 6 months, their Testosterone product has completely disrupted the Men's Health industry in Korea, and with the help of the Sharks, they are now ready to take over the world market. After a complete re-brand and re-packaging, the sisters are now ready to launch their new brand, , Globally. See the amazing demonstration below that got the sharks ready to feed instantly!
What is the Shark Tank Miracle Testosterone Supplement?
Shockingly, the Kim sisters have invented a new chemical compound that boosts testosterone production in men, particularly men over 36, the average age in which testosterone has been shown to naturally diminish. While there are a number of "supplements" on the market that are claiming to boost testosterone, the Kim sisters have created the first reuptake inhibitor (RI), making it particularly more effective at permanently retaining testosterone. RI's work by blocking the inhibiting the plasmalemmal transporter-mediated reuptake of a neurotransmitter from the synapse into the pre-synaptic neuron. What this means to men without a doctorate in chemistry: a permanent cure for erectile dysfunction. Men everywhere have been waiting years for a testosterone supplement like this.
Does the Shark Tank Miracle Testosterone Booster Supplement Actually Work?
"This is an industry that has been desperate for a cure for so long. I'm thrilled to be working with the Kim Sisters and am looking forward to scaling production."
The Men's Health industry is a massive market, but it's seldom reported on. Studies show that the majority of men over the age of 40 have had experiences with erectile dysfunction, and a shocking 80% of all men are unhappy with their size. There is obviously a huge potential for the Sharks to profit, but does the pill actually work?
We Decided To Put These Testosterone Boosting Alpha Pills To The Test!
In order to test the veracity of the Kim Sisters' product, Fox News needed a reporter to try it out. As a wife of 36 years to a husband who has been struggling with erectile dysfunction, I decided to volunteer. What did I have to lose?
After I placed my order, a few days later the pills arrived at my house. I couldn't wait for us to get to bed — before he fell asleep, I gave him a pill saying that it was just a vitamin.
I'm kind of uncomfortable telling you about our crazy amazing experience but… since we'll never meet offline I'll tell you the details:
In less than an hour my husband woke up with a super stiff erection, and believe me, when I say we banged for 1 hour and 45 minutes straight, that's no exaggeration!
His cock was so hard, and I've never had an orgasm like that… ever! We were both able to achieve multiple orgasms that night. There was tons screaming and a lot of sweat. I had the perfect ride, the best I've ever had! I was finally satisfied, and he was too. I expected the pill to work, but this was way more than I had expected.
What Was Our Result?
The Sharks had said that these miracle testosterone pills were designed to increased men's size, and that's exactly what happened with my hubby! I still find it hard to believe that this stuff turned him into a long, strong, wild beast in bed — and all for the price of a movie ticket and without any expensive prescription. I find the results to be worth every penny (I already ordered three more packs) — life is too valuable, and I'm not the kind of girl that skimps on pleasures.
So, I can definitely recommend these amazing for anyone who wants to last longer in bed and for anyone who wants to improve their size. Don't hesitate to use that sample offer of , and make sure you take it because now I'm FINALLY satisfied. On top of my hubby's erections being on point, he is now way bigger than before and lasts way longer than ever before when we use it.
When reached for comment, The Sharks graciously provided PIOP with their promotional package: a limited selection of free samples of .

The animal kingdom is bustling with chirps, cries, howls, roars, yelps and shrieks. We've managed to track down some of the rowdiest of the bunch, so please make some noise for ARKive's Top 10 Loudest Animals.
Southern elephant seal
The male southern elephant seal has a large inflatable proboscis, which it uses to produce an explosive, resounding roar. The vocalisations are commonly heard during the mating season, when bulls intimidate rivals to win groups of females.
Check out these southern elephant seals displaying and fighting on ARKive.
American alligator
Although the American alligator lacks vocal chords, this doesn't stop it producing deep, throaty bellows. A bellowing alligator can incite others to join in, forming a bellowing chorus. Bellows can reach 90 decibels and are thought to attract a female mate or threaten nearby males.
Watch this male American alligator bellowing on ARKive.
Cassini periodical cicada
For such a small critter, the male Cassini periodical cicada is surprisingly noisy – but it has a good reason, after being stuck underground for 17 years! Males announce their arrival with a high frequency courtship song to attract a mate. Females are silent, but a chorus of males can reach up to 100 decibels!
Three-wattled bellbird
With one of the loudest bird calls, the three-wattled bellbird certainly wants to show off its song – after all, it may have been practising for 7 years! Males call out to prospective females from a clearing at the top of a tree. The song is made up of chattering and a few, thunderous 'bong' notes, peaking at 100 decibels and travelling more than 1 kilometre through the forest.
There's a great video of the male three-wattled bellbird calling on ARKive.
The lion has a very large voicebox, or larynx, supported by a stretchy ligament, which creates an extra-large airway. Its remarkable roar reaches 114 decibels and can be heard up to 5 kilometres away!
The male kakapo creates an amplification bowl in the ground, which it sits inside before releasing powerful 'booms' to attract females. Males use their inflatable throat sacs to create the low frequency 'boom', which is thought to be one of the most far-carrying bird songs, travelling a staggering 5 kilometres! The amazing kakapo 'boom' call can be seen on ARKive.
African elephant
Producing piercing trumpets when threatened, alarmed, or excited, the African elephant can communicate over long distances, up to an impressive 9 kilometres! Its trunk amplifies sound and it often uses deep growls, rumbles or purrs, and many of these are too low for us to hear.
Mantled howler monkey
The aptly named mantled howler monkey produces distinctive howls and is one of the loudest mammals in the world. The hyoid bone at the top of its windpipe reverberates its roars and growls. Troops of mantled howler monkeys howl at dawn and dusk and have been compared to the sound of a raucous crowd. A howling troop can be heard over 2 kilometres away!
Greater bulldog bat
The greater bulldog bat's high frequency screech is thought to reach 140 decibels – that's 100 times louder than a rock gig! The intensity of its call has been likened to sitting on an airport runway!
Blue whale
Blowing the competition out of the water is the largest animal to have ever lived, the blue whale. Its long calls range from a staggering 155 to 188 decibels and it has been clearly detected as far as 3,000 kilometres away! The blue whale's low frequency moans typically last for 20 seconds, and are thought to have a range of functions, such as prey detection, communication and sensing the environment.
Do you have a favourite loud species on ARKive? Let us know using the comments below.

For those who doubt the central economic assumption that agents react to incentives you need look no futher than this extract from an article about the Rolling Stones (as reported in Greg Mankiw's excellent blog)
The Stones are famously tax-averse. I broach the subject with Keith [Richards] in Camp X-Ray, as he calls his backstage lair. There is incense in the air and Ronnie Wood drifts in and out--it is, in other words, a perfect venue for such a discussion. "The whole business thing is predicated a lot on the tax laws," says Keith, Marlboro in one hand, vodka and juice in the other. "It's why we rehearse in Canada and not in the U.S. A lot of our astute moves have been basically keeping up with tax laws, where to go, where not to put it. Whether to sit on it or not. We left England because we'd be paying 98 cents on the dollar. We left, and they lost out. No taxes at all. I don't want to screw anybody out of anything, least of all the governments that I work with. We put 30% in holding until we sort it out." No wonder Keith chooses to live not in London, or even New York City, but in Weston, Conn.
More great insights into the economics of the Rolling Stones and the music industry are here.

Blue Ridge Parkway visits drop in 2012
Blue Ridge Parkway visits drop in 2012
LYNCHBURG, Va. —
Fewer visitors toured the Blue Ridge Parkway in 2012.
The News and Advance of Lynchburg reports that visits dropped 1 percent from the previous year to the parkway's second-lowest level in nearly three decades.
That 1 percent decline translates to about 177,000 less travelers along the 469-mile scenic route.
The parkway that stretches through Virginia and North Carolina was seeing fewer visits for several years until 2011, when visits picked up. That year the highway had 15.3 million recreational visits.
Parkway Superintendent Phil Francis said he blames much of the 2012 decline on Superstorm Sandy. The storm hit at the parkway's busiest month, October.
High gas prices may have also played a role.

I just tried the latest Google Now with Madsonic in terms of playing music. The first time I did it, I said:
"Ok Google, play Monster by Skillet". Google Now brought up a card asking me to buy the song from the play store as the default action. When I clicked on the play store icon in the lower left corner of the card, it presented me with all the music players I had installed, including Madsonic, which I selected. The song then started playing in Madsonic, and subsequent commands played directly in Madsonic without intervention.
However, trying to play an entire album or artist didn't work. After watching on screen what was happening, it looks like Google Now simply shunts a search into Madsonic, which then plays the first item returned in the search. The search results are usually displayed on the screen and the playlist can easily be amended from there. I don't exactly know what search is being passed into Madsonic. I don't know if there is even a way to differentiate an artist request vs. album request.
Anyway, it's better than nothing and if you only want to listen to one song at at time, it actually works.


text: This track will awake your sense of beauty and fill your being with positive energy. "Expression" is driven by energic glitchy beats blended with soulful cello and a violin ensemble, background pianos and organ. Your presentation, ad, commercial, or film would be more expressive and can have greater impact with this tune.

Science Daily reports that researchers in China have discovered chicken manure can be used to biodegrade crude oil in contaminated soil. Writing in the International Journal of Environment and Pollution, the team explains how bacteria in chicken manure break down 50% more crude oil than soil lacking the manure.
Contamination of soil by crude oil occurs around the world because of equipment failure, natural disasters, deliberate acts, and human error. However, conventional approaches to clean-up come with additional environmental costs. Detergents, for instance, become pollutants themselves and can persist in the environment long after any remediation exercise is complete.
Bioremediation is a more environmentally benign approach which uses natural or engineered microbes that can metabolize the organic components of crude oil. Stimulating such microbial degradation in contaminated soil often involves the use of expensive fertilizers containing nitrogen and phosphorus, and, again, may come with an additional environmental price tag despite the "bio" label. Soil hardening and a loss of soil quality often accompany this approach.
The research team of Bello Yakubu, Huiwen Ma, and ChuYu Zhang of Wuhan University, China, suggest that animal waste, and in particular chicken manure, may provide the necessary chemical and microbial initiators to trigger biodegradation of crude oil if applied to contaminated soil. One important factor is that chicken manure raises the pH of soil to the range 6.3 to 7.4, which is optimal for the growth of known oil-utilizing bacteria.
In tests, the team added chicken manure to soil contaminated with 10% volume-to-weight of crude oil to soil. They found that the almost 75% of the oil was broken down in soil with the fowl additive after about two weeks.

'The Voice' Season 2 Premiere Scores Biggest Non-Sports Ratings in Six Years
'The Voice' is a smash hit. No, really! The Season 2 premiere of the hit singing competition grabbed the highest non-sports show ratings on network TV in six years. It had to be Blake Shelton's sense of humor that pulled in all those viewer, right? That or the fact that the 2012 Super Bowl was the most watched TV program…ever, which means that a whole mess of people stuck around and watched what followed the big game.
According to EW, the show pulled in 37.6 million viewers and enjoyed a 16.3 ratings share among adults 18-49. That is a key number, since it is the demo that advertisers covet. The numbers were ultimately enough to earn the show its highest rating for a non-sports telecast on any network in six years. The last non-sports, post-Super Bowl telecast to rake in such killer ratings was a special episode of 'Grey's Anatomy,' which aired back in 2006.
So the conventional wisdom is that if you put a show on after the Super Bowl, you're likely to get a significant chunk of the country to watch it. Nice work, 'The Voice' producers.
The next new episode of 'The Voice' airs tonight (Feb. 6) at 8PM ET on NBC. Tune into to see Shelton banter with his fellow coaches and fill his team with talent.

Walk Among Giants: 7 places to see the majestic California redwoods
There are giants in California. They jut out of soil dampened by fog rolling in from the Pacific and reach greater heights than any other living thing on the planet. They are the coast redwoods: the world's tallest trees. Many of them grow to be over 200 feet tall and the tallest soar to over 350 feet -- higher than a 30 story skyscraper. When you're in the middle of redwoods and look up, you won't be likely to see the tops of the trees and it's fascinating to realize there's a hidden world in the canopy above. For many people, being in the presence of these giants rouses feelings of reverence and awe for the Earth.
Height isn't the only merit of the coast redwoods: they have impressive survival skills that enable them to exist for centuries and sometimes even millennia. Their bark is thick and rich in tannins which helps resist fires and serves as a natural insect and fungi repellent. Their shallow roots allow them to easily absorb the fog that drips from their needles; an adaptation that keeps them hydrated during California's dry season. Underground, their roots intertwine with those of other redwoods giving them the collective strength to withstand wind and floods, and -- according to researchers from the University of British Columbia -- to communicate and share resources via a complex network of fungal threads.
So, where can you see these amazing trees in person? The coast redwood habitat extends from the southern coast of Oregon to California's Central Coast, and there are a number of national and state parks full of redwoods near HI USA hostels. Here are seven places in Northern California where you can experience the coast redwoods:
Muir Woods National Monument
Named after John Muir, California's preeminent conservationist, Muir Woods is one of the state's most popular redwood groves. This old-growth redwood forest was spared during a period of heavy logging because of its inaccessibility at the time, and it was established as a national park in 1908. The main path that visitors stick to is a gentle walkway filled with educational placards but there are a number of other trails for longer secluded hikes. Just 12 miles north of San Francisco, Muir Woods makes for a good day trip from the city and it's easily accessible from HI Marin Headlands Hostel, which is also about 12 miles away. On weekends and holidays from May to October, there is a shuttle to Muir Woods that picks up visitors from the Sausalito Ferry Terminal.
Big Basin Redwoods State Park
In the hills that extend for several miles inland between HI Pigeon Point Lighthouse Hostel and HI Santa Cruz Hostel you'll find Big Basin, California's oldest state park and a California Historical Landmark. It covers 18,000 acres, has over 80 miles of trails, and a large number of ancient redwoods can be found here. In addition to coast redwoods and several waterfalls, the park is home to a wide variety of animal species including deer, frogs, woodpeckers, banana slugs, coyotes and bobcats. Across the street from the Highway 1 entrance to Big Basin is Waddell Beach, a popular spot for windsurfing and kiteboarding.
Butano State Park
If you're looking for a peaceful walk through the redwoods, Butano State Park is a great option. About 6.5 miles inland from HI Pigeon Point Lighthouse Hostel, this is a lesser known park that's full of streams that flow year round. Its secluded location means there are often less crowds at this park. While you're here, try to find the Candelabra Tree –- a redwood with five huge branches (each as big as trees themselves), protruding from its massive trunk.
Samuel P. Taylor State Park
13 miles away from HI Point Reyes Hostel, Samuel P. Taylor State Park contains a combination of coast redwood forest and open grassland. This park is named after Samuel Penfield Taylor, a man who struck it rich in California's Gold Rush and invested his wealth in land and businesses in Marin County. There are a number of different types of landscapes and trails here, so if you're looking for redwoods, follow the Pioneer Tree Trail. Samuel P. Taylor also includes part of Lagunitas Creek where you can find salmon and trout spawning in the winter. In the park's grasslands, keep your eyes peeled for the springtime wildflower bloom.
Portola Redwoods State Park
Tucked away in the hills east of Highway 1, near both HI Point Montara Lighthouse Hostel and HI Pigeon Point Lighthouse Hostel, Portola Redwoods State Park is another secluded and serene place to visit the redwoods. This park has 18 miles of trails that connect with four adjacent San Mateo County parks: Pescadero Creek Park, Memorial Park, Sam McDonald Park, and Heritage Grove. The Sequoia Nature Trail loop makes for an easy introduction to Portola Redwoods though there are more challenging hikes here, as well. The park's small waterfall -- charmingly named "Tip Toe Falls" -- can be found along the Iverson Trail.
Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park
Just 5.5 miles north of HI Santa Cruz Hostel is Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. This park is centered around a grove of old growth redwoods which includes trees that are 1,800 years old and crown 300 feet tall. You'll also find giant sequoias -- the world's most massive trees -- in this park. Beyond the main loop, there are trails leading to sandy beaches on the San Lorenzo River and overlooks that afford impressive views of Monterey Bay. Just outside the park is Roaring Camp Railroads, which offers family-friendly rides through the redwoods on 19th century steam engine trains.
Wilder Ranch State Historic Park
Wilder Ranch provides a wonderful opportunity to visit both the redwoods and the ocean in one hike on the Pacific to Redwoods Loop. Starting just off of Highway 1, this challenging 12 mile hike will take you along the craggy cliffs of the Pacific coast and up into a redwood forest before bringing you back to the ocean. A little under 5 five miles away from the Santa Cruz Hostel, Wilder Ranch is also popular for its historic buildings and living history days.
Stay at one of our Northern California Hostels, and experience the magic of the redwoods.

The Nebraska football team continued its week of preparation for Saturday's showdown against Penn State on Tuesday. The team practiced in full pads for just over two hours, splitting time between the Hawks Championship Center and outside on the Ed and Joyanne Gass Practice Field.
Defensive Coordinator John Papuchis addressed the media after practice, focused on stopping a Penn State offense that has exceeded expectations this season.
"They are extremely efficient at what they do," Papuchis said. "They don't do a lot, but what they do is really well-coached, really sound. The quarterback understands where to go with the football and they're obviously a well-coached team watching them on tape."
Penn State Head Coach Bill O'Brien certainly deserves a lot of credit for turning a season that began with two losses and the stain of NCAA sanctions into a 6-3 (4-1) campaign. However, Papuchis said that he's been very impressed by the Nittany Lions' fifth-year senior quarterback, Matt McGloin.
"He fits in really well in what they do," Papuchis said. "He's very efficient, very productive, and he's only thrown three interceptions on the year. He's careful with the ball and makes good decisions."
Papuchis also mentioned some of the improvements he has seen in McGloin compared to last season, during which he threw eight touchdown passes and five interceptions. This season, McGloin has already thrown 18 touchdowns, while only throwing three interceptions, and will look to continue his progress on Saturday.
"He's maturing in the role," Papuchis said. "He has another 12 or 13 starts under his belt since the last time we played them and you can see he has grown as a player. He knows where to go with the ball, he's accurate, he finds a way to make things happen, and he buys himself time in the pocket. He's a good player."
Nebraska's secondary hasn't been easy to pick apart for opposing quarterbacks, though. The Blackshirts are giving up only 156 passing yards per game this season, along with the lowest opposing pass completion percentage in the nation at 46 percent. Papuchis commented on the number of players it takes to make that possible.
"We have an all-hands-on-deck mentality when it comes to who we play in the secondary," Papuchis said. "A bunch of corners have seen significant time for us this year. Our safety spot is a little bit more solidified, but with as much nickel and dime as we play – whether it's Cooper or Blatchford or a linebacker in there – whatever fits that week, we go with the best personnel and try to maximize the roster that we have."

Derale Hyper Cool Transmission CoolerPosted in How To on March 1, 2010
If there has been one killer of transmissions, guilty of gearbox murder more than all other causes combined, it is definitely heat. The best ways to fight transmission heat are to lessen the load on the tranny and to add more cooling capacity. Since we're not lowering the gear ratio or lightening the truck up at all, we wanted to add some more cooling capacity to the 4L80E in this Chevy 2500 4x4. The truck was at OC Tranny getting its 80,000-mile-old transmission rebuilt, and we took the opportunity to add a bigger and better Derale Hyper Cool cooler in place of the factory auxiliary cooler that comes with the tow packages on most fullsize trucks.
We chose a Hyper Cool unit because we like the electric fan option that we can wire whatever way we choose to. Since the tranny temperatures in this truck didn't ever spike unless towing heavy loads or playing off-road, we chose to wire up the fan directly to an on/off switch to use it only when needed.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Loyola Marymount took advantage of five UC Santa Barbara errors and some wildness on the mound en route to a 9-5 win on Friday at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium in Santa Barbara.
The loss ends the Gauchos' five-game winning streak and drops them to 5-4 on the year. LMU improves to 3-6.
UCSB starting pitcher Andrew Vasquez was wild, but battled in-and-out of trouble through the first four innings. The Gauchos took a 2-0 lead in the third on RBI singles by Brandon Trinkwon and Greg Mahle.
Santa Barbara upped the lead to 3-0 in the bottom of the fourth when Joey Wallace belted a mammoth home run over the screen in left field. It was Wallace's second home run of the season.
The Lions, who stranded nine runners through four innings, including the bases loaded in the first and second, finally broke through in the fifth.
Alex Guthrie reached on an error to lead things off for LMU and then stole second as Shon Roe struck out. A fly out to right by Cullen Mahoney moved Guthrie to third base with two outs. A walk to David Edwards put runners on the corners and Colton Plaia was safe on catcher's interference to load the bases. Matt Lowenstein walked, scoring Guthrie with the first run of the inning.
After the first run scored, Vasquez was replaced by Dalton Douty and by the time the dust settled in the top of the fifth, the Lions had scored five unearned runs on just two hits to take a 5-3 lead.
Vasquez went 4.2 innings and allowed just two hits, but he was credited with four runs, none earned, six walks and six strikeouts.
LMU extended its lead with a run in the top of the sixth and three in the top of the seventh with the big blows coming from Guthrie, who had an RBI double, and Roe, who had a two-run single.
The Gauchos got one back in the bottom of the seventh when shortstop Brandon Trinkwon tripled home Lance Roenicke, who had doubled with two outs. UCSB scored another in the bottom of the ninth when pinch hitter Bryce Tafelski, who doubled to open the inning, scored on a groundout by Roenicke.
UCSB outhit LMU by an 11-10 count. The Gauchos were paced by Trinkwon, Roenicke and Brett Vertigan who had two hits apiece. Trinkwon had two RBI. On the mound, Vasquez was credited with the loss and is now 1-1. Casey Schapper was sharp in relief as he went the final two innings and allowed just one hit.
Colin Welmon (1-1) got the win for the Lions. Although he was shaky at times, he went 6.0 innings, allowing six hits and one walk while striking out five.
UCSB and LMU will continue the series on Saturday and Sunday with 1:00 p.m. games at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium. Tickets are available online by clicking here, or at the stadium one-and-a-half hours before first pitch.
Both games can also be heard live online with the Voice of the Gauchos Gerry Fall calling all the action. To listen, click here.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Utilizing six double-digit scorers and a pair of double-doubles to boot, the Georgia College men's basketball team (9-4, 3-2 PBC) manhandled Flagler College (9-5, 3-3 PBC) 83-65 Monday night in the Centennial Center.
Junior guard Jared Holmes (Indianapolis) paced the scoring for GC, knocking down 15 points with four rebounds. Both Ryan Aquino (Roswell, Ga.) and Josh Hurst (Athens, Ga.) tallied double-double efforts, Aquino with 13 points and 10 rebounds, Hurst with 10 points and 15 boards. The 15 caroms for Hurst was a career-best.
Sophomore Ryan LeGates (Marietta, Ga.) had 13 points including a pair of threes, while Reece Wiedeman (Suwanee, Ga.) and Mike Augustine (Waterloo, Ill.) had 11 and 10 points, respectively. Augustine was perfect shooting for the night, 4-of-4 from the field and 2-of-2 from the line.
"The balanced scoring speaks well for our team," said head coach Terry Sellers. "It's probably our most consistent performance over an entire 40 minutes that we've had this season."
The Bobcats struggled with the Saints in the first half, when the score was tied three times with six lead changes. The final tie came with 7:42 left at 27-27, and the 'Cats responded with a 15-5 run for the remainder of the half, leading 42-32 at the break. GC continued to pull away in the second stanza, beating Flagler 41-33.
The Bobcats controlled the boards 42-30, and got a 23-7 advantage in points off the bench. Points in the paint were also in Georgia College's favor, 36-24.
Eddie Fowler led Flagler in scoring with 17, aided by 16 points from John Pietkiewicz and 14 points and six assists from D.J. Ferguson.
The Bobcats shot 51 percent from the field (31-61), hitting over half of their shots for the first time since a loss at Anderson University Nov. 23.
Hurst's 15 rebounds give the forward 477 in his career, passing Julius Wilcox (1984-88) and Ken Kemp (2005-09) into ninth in the GC recordbooks. Hurst is now four rebounds behind No. 8 Willie Jones (1980-82).
GC is back in action Wednesday, Jan. 19 at 7:30 p.m., traveling to Columbus State University (6-7, 2-2 PBC). The Cougars most recently beat Francis Marion University 70-67 Sunday.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, back-to-back winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Johns Hopkins-Randolph-Macon Football Notes
The Game: Johns Hopkins opens the 2013 season on the road at Randoph-Macon. This will be the 10th meeting between the two teams since 2002 and the 36th overall meeting in series history.
A Look Back: Johns Hopkins posted a 10-2 record, won a fourth straight Centennial Conference title and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Playoffs last season. Randolph-Macon posted a 7-3 record and tied for second place in the ODAC with a 5-2 league mark last season. The `Jackets won their final three games of the 2012 season.
Series History: This week's game will be the 36th all-time meeting between Johns Hopkins and Randolph-Macon with JHU holding an 18-16-1 advantage. A complete series history can be found on page 2.
Poll Position: Johns Hopkins earned top 20 preseason rankings in three polls. The Blue Jays were ranked 9th by the Sporting News, 10th by Lindy's College Football and 17th by D3football.com.
The first AFCA Poll of the 2013 season will be released in late September.
For Openers: Johns Hopkins is 13-9-1 in season-openers under head coach Jim Margraff and the Blue Jays have currently won 10 of their last 14 openers.
Road Openers: Johns Hopkins is 13-10 under head coach Jim Margraff in its first road game of the year.
I'm Honored: Seniors Armand Jenifer and Ben Cranston, two key pieces of a prolific Blue Jay offense a year ago, were selected as preseason All-Americans. They are two of the four returning starters on an offensive line that paved the way for a unit that averaged 485.2 yards and 36.8 points per game last season.
Jenifer grabbed first team honors from D3football.com, Lindy's College Football, Sporting News and Phil Steele's College Football Preview, while Cranston grabbed second team honors from D3football.com and Lindy's College Football.
Returning All-Centennial Jays: Johns Hopkins dominated the 2012 All-Centennial Conference Football Team as the Blue Jays claimed the coach (Jim Margraff), offensive (Jonathan Rigaud) and defensive player of the year awards (Taylor Maciow) and had 12 players earn All-Centennial honors.
While Margraff and his staff will need to replace Rigaud and Maciow, the Blue Jays do return nine of the premier players in the league.
Below is a look at JHU's returning All-Centennial performers:
John Arena - LB (2nd Team)
Vincenzo Bonaddio - OL (T) (2nd Team)
Ben Cranston - OL (C) (1st Team)
Joe DiTrolio - DL (2nd Team)
Armand Jenifer - OL (T) (1st Team)
Michael Longo - DL (HM)
Kevin Quinn - OL (G) (2nd Team)
Ryan Rice - DB (2nd Team)
Dan Wodicka - WR (1st Team)
Four in a Row: Jonathan Rigaud became the fourth straight Johns Hopkins player to win Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Year honors when he grabbed the honor last season. Rigaud joins Hewitt Tomlin (2011), Sam Wernick (2010) and Andrew Kase (2009) as JHU's recent CC Offensive Players of the Year. They join Anthony Triplin (2005) on the list. Mark Campbell (QB) was named the Centennial Player of the Year in 1985 (a single POY was selected in the league from 1983-1992. Starting in 1993 an Offensive and Defensive Player of the Year were selected).
Centennial Favorites: For the fifth consecutive year and the eighth time in the last 10 years Johns Hopkins was selected as the favorite in the league's preseason poll of coaches and SIDs. The Blue Jays received 17 of 20 first-place votes and totaled 161 points to easily out-distance Franklin & Marshall, which checked in at number two in the poll with three first-place votes and 139 points.
JHU Ties Victory Record: Johns Hopkins posted a 10-2 record in 2012 and tied the school record for victories in a season. Only three times previously - 2003, 2009 & 2011 - had Hopkins won 10 games in a season. Johns Hopkins had never won more than seven games in a season prior to 2002, but the Blue Jays have posted eight or more wins nine times in the last 11 years.
Centennial Conference Champions: Johns Hopkins claimed its eighth Centennial Conference title last season with all eight championships coming since 2002. JHU's eight CC titles are just one shy of the record of nine, which is shared by Dickinson and Muhlenberg.
NCAA History: Johns Hopkins made its fourth trip to the NCAA Playoffs last season with all four appearances coming since 2005 under the direction of Jim Margraff, the all-time winningest coach in school history. The Blue Jays are 3-4 all-time in the NCAAs with a run to the NCAA Quarterfinals in 2009 and last year's trip to the second round highlighting JHU's NCAA history.
Post-Season Regulars: Johns Hopkins has advanced to the post-season nine times since 2002 as JHU has played in five ECAC Bowl Games and the four NCAA Tournaments since 2002. Including the 3-4 record in NCAA action, Johns Hopkins sports a 7-5 all-time post-season record as the Blue Jays are 4-1 all-time in ECAC Bowl Games. Including ECAC games, Johns Hopkins has advanced to the post-season in each of the last five years.
Sweet September: Johns Hopkins enters the 2013 season having won 11 straight and 14 of its last 15 games in the month of September. The only team to beat JHU in the month of September in its last 15 games? Randolph-Macon, which posted a 41-37 win over JHU on September 11, 2010.
More September: Johns Hopkins has not lost a home game in the month of September since September 22, 2007, when Moravian escaped Homewood with a 44-41 victory. Since then the Blue Jays have won nine straight at home in September.
Margraff Ranks Second on State Victory Chart: Johns Hopkins head coach Jim Margraff sports a career record of 157-81-3 (.658) entering this week's game at Randolph-Macon. He is just the second college football coach in Maryland state history to win 150 career games. Only Morgan State's Eddie Hurt, who won 174 games from 1929-59, has won more games as the head football coach at a college or university in the state of Maryland than Margraff.
Sustained Success: Since the start of the 2002 season the Blue Jays sport an 91-31 (.746) record. Taking it back farther the Blue Jays are 97-34 (.740) since the start of the 2001 season and 102-39 (.723) since the beginning of the 2000 season.
The 74 wins the Blue Jays amassed from 2000-09 are the most wins in a decade in school history. Johns Hopkins had never won more than seven games in a season prior to this decade. In the decade completed in 2009, the Blue Jays averaged more than seven wins per season (7.4).
Seven's Heaven: Since the beginning of the 2003 season the Blue Jays are 82-21 (.796) when scoring more than seven points and 0-7 when they have been held to seven points or less.
An Offensive Group: Johns Hopkins returns eight starters to an offense that averaged 485.2 yards and 36.8 points per game last season. The Blue Jays ranked 12th nationally in scoring offense, 18th in rushing offense (252.8) and 26th in scoring. The Blue Jays ran a school-record 954 plays and set school marks for total yards (5,823), rushing yards (3,3034), rushing touchdowns (47), first downs (317) and total points scored (441).
Defense Among Nation's Best: With seven starters back on defense, the Blue Jays will look to pick up right where they left off a year ago. Hopkins ranked among the top 40 in the nation in sacks per game (3.25/14th), rushing defense (102.1/28th), scoring defense (17.8/36th) and total defense (306.6/40th).

Just a sample of the people I'm riding with on the Climate Ride this weekend with Filter for Good.
By day he works on reforesting Nicaragua. I called him the Closer after he saved just enough to lay down an effort and bring it home.
Geothermal Rock n' Rollas
Best kit award goes to the Geothermal Girls
Xtracycle Longtail
Hardest work man on this ride is pedaling this beast over rolling Pennsylvania terrain.
Mr. Happy
Even after all that climbing, dude is still smiling every time I see him.
What is the Climate Ride?
If the Climate Ride was one of our Mobile Socials, I'd title it something like MoSo Intellectual Edition. Today I rode with with an electrical engineer, doctor of microbiology, the IT guy that built a Thomson Reuters database, and the reforester above. Like-minded people riding along talking about issues that matter to them, is just like any group ride.
We all need a good mechanic too.

Former EastEnders star Hannah Waterman has given birth to a baby boy.
The actress has become a mum for the first time with her new partner, The Bill star Huw Higginson.
Hannah, 36, began dating the actor last summer after splitting from her husband and former Enders co-star Ricky Groves.
Prior to starting a relationship with Huw she had been his friend for ten years.
She put him up in her flat when he needed a place to stay after splitting with his wife Geraldine Dove-Higginson.
It was then that friendship blossomed into something more.
"We spoke early on in our relationship about the fact that we'd like a family," she told Closer.
"I'm 35 and I didn't want to wait around because, as everyone knows, it can be harder to conceive as you get older.
"But we didn't expect it to happen so quickly."
