WARNING: Bupropion is an antidepressant used to treat a variety of conditions, including depression, other mental/mood disorders, and smoking cessation. Antidepressants can help prevent suicidal thoughts/attempts and provide other important benefits. However, studies have shown that a small number of people (especially people younger than 25) who take antidepressants for any condition may experience new or worsening depression, other mental/mood symptoms, or suicidal thoughts/attempts. Therefore, it is very important to talk with the doctor about the risks and benefits of antidepressant medication, even if treatment is not for a mental/mood condition.
Tell the doctor immediately if you notice new or worsening depression/other psychiatric conditions, unusual behavior changes (including possible suicidal thoughts/attempts), or other mental/mood changes (including new/worsening anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, irritability, hostile/angry feelings, impulsive actions, severe restlessness, very rapid speech). Be especially watchful for these symptoms when a new antidepressant is started or when the dose is changed.
If you are using bupropion to quit smoking, stop taking bupropion and contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of the symptoms listed above. Tell your doctor right away if you have any of these symptoms after stopping treatment.

Students Support Challenge of Excellenceby Howard Hewitt • February 2, 2012 Share:
Wabash students affirmed their support for the Challenge of Excellence campaign Thursday when they presented a $25,000 check to President White.
Student leaders took the initiative when the $60 million Challenge kicked off two years ago. Jake German '11 and Cody Stipes '11 pushed the Student Senate to pledge $25,000 gift to the campaign. (In photo: President White makes remarks about the gift while 2011 Vice President Tyler Wade '12, 2012 President Alex Robbins '13, 2012 Vice President Jeremy Wentzel '14, and 2011 President Steve Henke '12 listen.)
"The Senate, over the past two years, decided to reach that $25,000 goal, and with the money reverted from clubs last semester, we were able to make our final payment in the amount of $16,500," Current Senate President Alex Robbins '12 said.
Robbins presented the final check to President Patrick White Thursday before the weekly Chapel Talk.
The $60 million campaign for student scholarships, faculty support, study abroad, and career success currently stands at just over $52 million.
"It's one thing when alumni give and another entirely when students give," said campaign co-chair Ted Grossnickle '73. "Not only does it show our alumni that those who currently study at and 'own' Wabash want to support the College, but it also demonstrates that students share the impulse to be generous. It's reaffirming for alumni."
The student contribution will go toward the scholarship fund.
"We are very excited and proud that the student body was able to make a contribution to the scholarship pillar and that we will be able to provide future Wabash men with an opportunity to attend the College at a more affordable price," President Robbins said. "It shows the selflessness of the Wabash community and that we are dedicated to the continued success of the College."
Grossnickle, and co-chair Allan Anderson '65, are thrilled with the message the student gift sends to alumni and outside organizations. "Having students adopt and then reach a matching goal is a powerful message to foundations and corporations that the current students understand how philanthropy is a part of the mission of Wabash College. A college like ours just doesn't work well unless philanthropy is there to support it."
Grossnickle praised student leaders for taking the initiative to make a contribution.
"I can tell you that Allan and I as co-chairs believe this action by the Student Senate is terrific," he said. " We are very proud of this action and it makes us want to tell all our alumni about the students on campus today."

A common vitamin may be a powerful weapon against a public health threat perpetrated by "superbugs." These antibiotic-resistant staph bacteria cause nasty—and sometimes lethal—infections. Now, Cedars-Sinai researchers have found that high doses of a form of vitamin B3 boost the immune system's power to fight back.
Staph bacteria tend to hang out in hospitals and pose a special hazard to patients with weakened immune systems. By stimulating a specific gene, known by the acronym CEBPE, scientists enhanced white blood cells' ability to combat staph infections. The method even worked on the most infamous strain, commonly known as MRSA.
"It's critical that we find novel antimicrobial approaches to treat infection and not rely so heavily on antibiotics," says George Liu, MD, PhD, a pediatric infectious diseases physician at Cedars-Sinai's Maxine Dunitz Children's Health Center and co-senior author of the study, which received worldwide attention. "That's why this discovery is so exciting."
Studies show that vitamin B3 enhances the ability of the immune system to kill staphylococcus aureus bacteria by up to 1,000 fold. In tests on human blood, clinical doses of the vitamin appeared to virtually wipe out staph infection in only a few hours. However, until formal testing in patients can be completed, people are cautioned not to treat a suspected infection by taking vitamin B3. Instead, a physician should be consulted.
The researchers have also been examining a rare blood disorder called neutrophil-specific granule deficiency, which afflicts only a handful of people in the world. Patients with this rare disease have a mutation in the CEBPE gene—and, as a result, suffer from weakened immune systems, leaving them vulnerable to life-threatening infections, including staph. The goal in studying this uncommon disorder is to uncover insights into the immune mechanisms that protect healthy individuals against such infections.
Researchers are hopeful that the vitamin, along with other compounds, may be effective against other antibiotic-resistant bacteria like staphylococcus—thereby offering valuable ammunition against infection.

Wold News host Diane Sawyer on Thursday grilled John Boehner, pushing the House Speaker to support tax increases in the wake of Barack Obama's victory. In a clip played on Friday's Good Morning America, the anchor lectured, "[Obama] campaigned on it. Sixty percent of the voters have said that they are ready to raise these taxes. They are ready to have the wealthier Americans pitch in here." [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Reporter Jon Karl reminded that Obama "talked about it in every single campaign speech." In the full interview that aired on World News, Sawyer demanded to know about more taxes: "He campaigned on specific increases in tax rates from 35 percent to 39 percent, for those making more than $250,000. So, is that on the table?...Is it on the table to talk about?"
Repeating the President's talking points, she huffed, "The fiscal cliff is looming. The President has said, 'Do it now, get us get a deal.'" She didn't talk about what compromises Obama will make.
Rather than ask about whether Congress will investigate the murder of America's ambassador and the administration's botched handling of Libya, Sawyer wanted to the details of the painful Republican loss: "What was the first word you said to yourself, when you knew that the president was going to win again?"
A partial transcript of the November 9 GMA segment:
JON KARL: But raising taxes on the wealthy was a central issue of President Obama's campaign. He talked about it in every, single campaign speech.
BARACK OBAMA: [Montage] The wealthiest Americans got tax cuts. Tax cuts. Tax cuts. Try a tax cut. Another five trillion dollar tax cut that favors the wealthy. The wealthy. That's not change.
KARL: In her exclusive interview Thursday, Diane Sawyer pressed the Speaker on that.
DIANE SAWYER: He campaigned on it. Sixty percent of the voters have said that they are ready to raise these taxes. They are ready to have the wealthier Americans pitch in here.
JOHN BOEHNER: I said yesterday that raising tax rates is unacceptable.
[Thanks to MRC intern Jeff Meyer for the World News transcript.]
A transcript of the November 8 World News segment can be found below:
DIANE SAWYER: Tonight, from Washington, D.C., This is a special edition of "World News." An ABC News exclusive. We sit down with the country's most powerful Republican, House Speaker John Boehner. Facing a critical deadline. Will he and the president finally make a deal? Or will this country fall off a cliff of huge tax increases and a new recession? Everyone has said, a disaster is looming.
SAWYER: Good evening once again from Washington, D.C., where the election may be over, but the clock is ticking on an issue affecting every American family. And standing at the urgent crossroads, the president and the Speaker of the House, Republican John Boehner. There is a freight train bearing down on this country, called the fiscal cliff. It made the stock market so nervous today, for the second day in a row, it dropped. And business leaders have begun to come forward to warn the government there will be serious economic consequences if there's no deal. At issue, the fiscal cliff, a doomsday law that hikes taxes and unleashes a wrecking ball of cuts by January 1st. So, I started by asking Speaker Boehner if this time, he and the now re-elected president are going to make a deal. What was the first word you said to yourself, when you knew that the president was going to win again?
JOHN BOEHNER: It's the hand I was dealt. I'll play it. And I went to bed.
SAWYER: Right away? How early?
BOEHNER: 11:15. I saw the handwriting on the wall for a couple of hours. And at 11:15, the race was, in my view, finished. I went to sleep. And slept like a baby.
SAWYER: The fiscal cliff is looming. The President has said, do it now, get us get a deal, let us end this grid lock now. Is it going to happen?
BOEHNER: I remain optimistic that we're going to be able to find common ground to avoid this fiscal cliff and find a way to work together.
SAWYER: But by when? By January 1?
BOEHNER: I would hope so.
SAWYER: The president is talking about specific increases; he campaigned on specific increases in tax rates from 35% to 39%, for those making more than $250,000. So, is that on the table? Right now?
BOEHNER: Raising taxes on small business people is the wrong prescription, given where our economy is.
SAWYER: Is it on the table to talk about?
BOEHNER: I made clear yesterday that raising tax rates is unacceptable and frankly it couldn't even pass the House. Putting increased revenues on the table, but through reforming our tax code. And I would do that, if the president were serious about solving our spending problem. And trying to secure our entitlement programs. The president and I have had various conversations. I'm confident that he and I can find the common ground necessary.
SAWYER: So, you will talk about it, even if you believe it's the wrong approach, you'll talk about it.
BOEHNER: Of course we'll talk about it. We talk about all kinds of things we may disagree on. I'm the most reasonable, responsible person here in Washington. The president knows this. He knows that he and I can work together. The election's over. Now it's time to get to work.
SAWYER: And the Speaker seemed confident that after this election, tea party members will be supportive of getting work done. So, I asked, will he still repeal ObamaCare? You had said, next year, that you would repeal the health care vote. That still your mission?
BOEHNER: Well, I think the election changes that, it's pretty clear that the president was re-elected; ObamaCare is the law of the land.
SAWYER: But you won't be spending the time next year trying to repeal ObamaCare?
BOEHNER: There certainly may be parts of it that we believe need to be changed, we may do that. No decisions at this point.
SAWYER: And another question. About a fire brand in his party, the man who ran for Vice President, still Congressman Paul Ryan. Congressman Paul Ryan, is he the leader of the Republican Party now?
BOEHNER: Oh, I wouldn't think so. Paul Ryan's a policy wonk. He's involved in the cause of trying to bring us pro-growth, economic agenda to America and making sure that we're doing this in a fiscally responsible way.
SAWYER: There have been a lot of Republican comments, Rush Limbaugh said –
RUSH LIMBAUGH: I went to bed last night thinking we've lost the country.
SAWYER: We've lost the country, we're outnumbered. Al Cardenas has said that the party has gotten, these are his words, too old, too white, too male. Is that right?
BOEHNER: Well, I think what Republicans need to learn is how do we speak to all Americans? You know, not just the people who look like us and act like us, but how do we speak to all Americans?
SAWYER: The powerful Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner. That was just today and I'm here now with Jonathan Karl, who has covered the campaign, coverers Congress for us. What did you hear Jon?
JONATHAN KARL: Well, he said raising tax rates is unacceptable. And let me tell you, there is an entirely different view of that on the other side of the aisle and at the White House. If the president campaigned on one thing, it was raising tax rates on the wealthy. They say any deal that doesn't do that is unacceptable
SAWYER: So, what happens next now? I seem to hear the Speaker saying, you know, we can talk.
KARL: Well, he did. And he wanted to reassure everybody, including the markets that a deal will be done. We're not going to get to the brink. We're not going to get to the point where the credit rating of the country is again at risk. He said he's willing to talk about anything and Diane, he called himself the most reasonable man in Washington. So, I think that he is determined to get something done.
SAWYER: Okay, Jon Karl, thank you.

Environmental News NetworkJanuary 31, 2008 The United Arab Emirates (UAE) are putting US$15 billion into an alternative energy and clean technology initiative to establish itself as the regional and global centre of future energy solutions.Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, the capital of UAE, announced the initiative at the World Future Energy Summit held in Abu Dhabi, last week (21—23 January).The initiative will include projects targeting solar and wind power and hydrogen fuel, and reduction and management of carbon emissions. Amongst the projects is the establishment of the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, a graduate-level scientific engineering institution offering PhD-level teaching as well as conducting research. A US$250 million Masdar Clean Technology Fund will be dedicated to financing renewable energy research projects conducted by private companies.The fund will focus on the development and commercialisation of technologies in renewable energy, energy efficiency, carbon management, water usage and desalination, with a particular emphasis on technologies applicable to the environmental conditions of the Middle East and North Africa. The UAE are also establishing the Zayed Future Energy Prize to honour individuals and organisations from throughout the globe for excellence in innovation, development and implementation of sustainable energy solutions. The inaugural prize will be awarded in 2009, with US$2.2 million awarded to three winners each year. All of the projects will be based Masdar city — the UAE's planned 'zero carbon and zero-waste' city, due to open in late 2009. "After realising that they have one of the highest energy consumption rates per capita in the world, the UAE has finally started spearheading renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in the region," says Wael Hmaidan, executive director and head of the Arab Climate Campaign at IndyACT (The League of Independent Activists) based in Lebanon. But he added, "What we mostly lack in the Arab world is strong climate change policy"? Adopting a strong climate change position with clear targets for the global treaty is currently as important as investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency, if not more. The UAE and other Arab states should urgently adopt climate change policies that complement the UAE's technical initiative."

The theft of essential components from the TVNZ television repeater in Whangamata means residents receiving television channels with UHF aerials will now have to switch to satellite television.
Many people will have to buy a Freeview box or Sky TV a year earlier than planned.
Whangamata was due to go completely digital on December 1 next year, but the "disappearance" of solar panels and batteries last week has hastened the process, with TVNZ reportedly saying it is too costly to fix.
A number of Whangamata viewers thought their television sets had gone on the blink. It took a few days for people, after talking to others, to realise that something greater was amiss than their TV or aerial "packing up".
Calls made to TVNZ revealed the facts - essential elements at the repeater site at the end of Peninsula Rd had vanished.
Georgie Hills, spokeswoman for TVNZ which provides TVOne and TV2, confirmed the Whangamata transmission signal was no longer functioning between the Wentworth River at Moana Point and the Otahu River. She believed TV3 was also off the air, but could not comment on its behalf.
"On or about October 16 the TVNZ solar power supply - batteries and regulator - were taken. It is not known when or if the equipment can be restored," she said.
Ms Hills could not confirm if the solar panels had also been removed or whether the theft was reported to police.
"The site is maintained by Kordia, a Crown-owned telco, and their priorities have been to make the site secure and recover the stolen property. It is up to Kordia to report the theft," Ms Hills said.
Whangamata police Sergeant Vince Ranger said the thefts had not been reported and until someone did he could not take any action.
Lance Pitcher, from Pitcher Electrical in Whangamata, said TVNZ told him they would not fix the repeater unless police recovered the stolen parts, as it could cost anywhere between $500,000 and $1 million. It wasn't worth the expense as the peninsula was to go digital next year, they said.
Ms Hills would not confirm the cost to rebuild the repeater.
Mr Pitcher said his company had fielded calls from people worried their televisions weren't working.
"If the repeater isn't repaired then Sky or Freeview are the only options," he said.
Mr Pitcher said the television sets with built-in decoders didn't work on the peninsula and people would still have to buy a set-top box or decoder.
"You don't have to change your TV though. If you have a really old one it can still be used, but might cost a bit more to adjust."
John Stevens, owner of 100 per cent Whangamata, said sales last week had "gone ballistic" with people looking for advice and buying new aerials or parts because they thought the fault lay with their television.
"I'm surprised TVNZ hasn't made any announcements or advertised what's happened. I've heard stories from customers about them climbing on roofs or under their houses trying to find out what's wrong," Mr Stevens said.
"It's actually quite cruel."
In the past week he had sold about 60 Freeview boxes and booked 18 or 20 installations, which includes the satellite dish.
The cost ranged from about $100 for a decoder alone, up to several hundred dollars for an installation.

Story highlights
- Research has found that every criticism from managers should be balanced by six positive comments
- Effectiveness of both praise and criticism as motivators has a lot to do with how the message is delivered
- Setting the context for negative feedback helps soften the blow
- Emotions should be taken out of the equation when delivering negative feedback
Criticism from bosses can be hard to swallow. But research shows there are more constructive ways for managers to deliver negative feedback, and that bosses should use positive comments a lot more -- about six times more -- than criticism.
The study, done by the University of Michigan Business School several years ago, compared team performance to the frequency of praise and criticism given within the teams.
The best-performing teams used about six times as many positive comments for every negative one. It found that the worst performing teams, on average, used three negative comments for every positive one.
American psychologist, John Gottman, has found a similar ratio for positive and negative comments from spouses leading to happier marriages.
"Negative interactions tend to dampen the enthusiasm and commitment of the individual," says Jack Zenger, a leadership consultant, who was not part of the studies. "A manager should be very thoughtful and weigh the risks and benefits before giving any negative feedback."
While positive feedback seems to be more helpful in the work setting, leadership experts say the effectiveness of both praise and criticism as motivators has a lot to do with how the message is delivered.
When a manager must give negative feedback to a worker, it helps not to do it abruptly, Zenger says. Managers can preface the conversation by letting the employee know that his or her contributions are appreciated, and that a specific suggestion is a way to improve effectiveness and nothing more than that.
"When we watch a movie, there is often background music that signals to us whether something terrible is about to happen or whether this is a happy scene in the movie. Ideally, managers need to provide a similar signal that provides an accurate context for any message," he says.
Zenger adds that any criticism should be delivered in the utmost privacy, never in front of others.
Denmark-based Alexander Kjerulf, who studies happiness at work, said his organization conducted a survey that found lack of praise and recognition to be the No. 2 factor making people unhappy at their jobs. (The top reason was having coworkers who constantly complain.)
And even though the research shows it is unproductive to criticize more than praise, experts say it is still important to give negative feedback once in a while.
"Criticism is vitally important. We need to tell people what they do well and what they can do better," Kjerulf says. "But many workplaces either give no feedback or only give criticism. This is a shame because we learn so much from being told what we get right."
On the other end of the feedback spectrum, there are ways for praise to work better as a motivator.
Kjerulf says that praise, if delivered poorly, like when it seems obligatory or trivial, can have negative effects. "It makes us mistrust all future praise," he said.
For praise to be constructive, it needs to be specific and heartfelt, Zenger says.
"A passing 'good job' or 'well done' means very little. But when a manager takes the time to tell the individual specifically what he or she had done and the consequences that it has had, then praise begins to have an extremely positive effect," he says.
But while praise should be delivered with conviction or an emotional connection, emotions should be taken out of the equation when giving negative feedback, Zenger says. Delivering criticism while either party is angry, for example, is usually not constructive.
"When emotions become the dominant force and the quality of the ideas are taking a backseat, then feedback is given the wrong way," he says.
But managers should realize that feedback should go both ways: managers should seek feedback from their employees about their own behavior.
"The manager who asks, 'what can I do to be a more effective supervisor for you' is sending the signal that no one is expected to be perfect in that we can learn from each other," Zenger says. "How the manager responds to the employees' observations will serve as the example for how they respond to criticism."
But in the case where an employee is upset about negative comments from managers, "there's no way around it," Kjerulf says, "you'll have to talk to your boss. Be very specific and say what it is about the boss' behavior you don't like."

Task Lighting in Offices - Code Notes
The appropriate treatment of task lighting for energy code compliance has always been a potentially confusing issue. The intent of ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2007 (as well as previous editions back to 1999) and the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) (including editions back to 2003) is for task lighting to be included in compliance calculations when it is part of the lighting design. This applies to office spaces where task lighting is common, as well as other spaces where task lighting may appear in various forms.

Lions get another New Jersey recruit
For a coach that vowed his program would dominate recruiting in Pennsylvania, Penn State football coach James Franklin and his staff are going pretty well in New Jersey, too.
The Nittany Lions got their fourth recruit for 2015 from New Jersey on Sunday and their 16th overall in this class when Sayreville War Memorial High School defensive back Myles Hartsfield made a pledge on Sunday and then announced it publicly via Twitter.
Hartsfield's decision gives Penn State four of Rival.com's top 10 rising seniors in New Jersey and four of the top six to have made a college choice so far. Penn State also signed four New Jersey players in its 2014 recruiting class, including top-rated tight end Mike Gesicki and blue-chip receiver Saeed Blacknall.
Hartsfield follows a trend of versatility and helps shore up a position of need in this recruiting class in the secondary. Standing 5-foot-10 1/2 and weighing in at 175 pounds, Hartsfield is seen as a safety by most recruiting services, but Penn State recruited him primarily as a cornerback.
Last season, Hartsfield picked off four passes and recorded 44 tackles. He also rushed for nearly 1,600 yards.
Hartsfield recently had narrowed his prospective colleges to Penn State and Rutgers, but the handwriting was on the wall when he passed up on a scheduled visit to the New Jersey college late last week. Hartsfield's other top offers were from Pitt, Syracuse, West Virginia, Georgia Tech, Cincinnati, Purdue, Temple and Wake Forest.
The Lions are in the running for another top New Jersey prospect, too. Lawrenceville Prep four-star offensive tackle Grant Newsome made two-day visits to both Penn State and Michigan late last week. The Lions and Wolverines are considered Newsome's co-leaders, and it's possible he could arrive at a decision as early as this week. However, recruiting analysts maintain this is a race that's very close, and Newsome, who is from Virginia, also has offers from SEC powers Alabama and LSU – he could try to visit those schools before picking a school.
With Hartsfield, Penn State now has three defensive backs on its 2015 commitment list: Washington, D.C.'s Ayron Monroe is a similar prospect to Hartsfield in that most see him as a safety but he possibly could be a fit at corner, while Connecticut's Jarvis Miller, Penn State's initial 2015 recruit, is a pure safety.
The Lions probably would like to bring in one if not two more defensive backs if its scholarship numbers allow. St. Joseph's Preps John Reid and Central Valley's Jordan Whitehead, both pure corners, have been the names linked with the Lions most closely through the last few months.

Drought Increases Texas Black Bear Concerns
Rural Residents, Hunters Advised to Be Bear Aware
AUSTIN — Wildlife biologists are advising hunters, ranchers and rural residents that black bears appear to be roaming longer distances and may approach people or houses in search of food and water because of the drought.
If conditions remain dry, people could see more bears, said Mike Krueger, district leader of the Edwards Plateau Wildlife District for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.
"We're getting a few reports of people seeing bears during daylight hours, and that's unusual," Krueger said. "It's the associated water around homes and the food. The pet food, the smell of cooking; all those things could attract bears."
Recent bear sightings could reflect young bears who have been turned out by their mothers and are setting out to establish their own home ranges.
Because of the drought, the bears appear to be traveling longer distances, sometimes even hundreds miles, to find better habitat conditions. Known breeding bear populations in Texas are in far West Texas, so it's possible bears seen in Central Texas traveled from there, or from Mexico. Bears are still considered rare in Texas.
A black bear was killed in early August in Kerr County north of San Antonio. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department investigated the incident, since bears are protected and may not be hunted. The man who killed the bear said he felt he and his dogs were in danger. The bear was a 2 year old male, weighing 103 pounds.
"We need to encourage everyone to be more tolerant of bears," Krueger said. "We recommend people try to scare bears away, or go to a safe place and call us. But killing a bear should be a last resort unless a person is truly threatened."
Krueger said when the first waves of hunters head to the field in September, some might see broken windows or other signs of bears attempting to enter buildings where food was kept, or wildlife feeders overturned.
Bears are omnivores, meaning they eat almost anything. Research shows free-roaming black bears are mainly vegetarians, and up to 90 percent of their diet is vegetable material, including nuts, fruits, berries and plants. Most of the protein in a bear's diet comes from insects like beetles, wasps, termites and ants.
According to the TPWD brochure Bear Safety in Mind, bears are normally shy and not aggressive to humans. But if a bear regularly visits a ranch or deer stand, people should try to scare it with rocks, a slingshot or air horn.
If people encounter a bear at close range, they should talk calmly while backing away slowly. Don't make direct eye contact, and don't run away.
If a bear approaches you, stand your ground and raise your arms, backpack or jacket to appear larger, and yell at the bear to scare it off.
Hunters should keep camps clean to prevent odors that will attract bears, and discard gut piles far from campsites. Placing deer corn in piles or in open feeders will attract more bears, while using an automated feeder hung out of reach of bears will decrease bear visits. Also, switching bait from corn to soybeans will reduce bear activity. And, planting food plots is the best way to attract deer and avoid bear visits.
It is against the law to kill a black bear in Texas, with penalties of up to $10,000, added civil restitution fines, jail time and loss of all hunting privileges. The black bear, Ursus americanus, is listed as threatened by the State of Texas and the Louisiana black bear, Ursus americanus luteolus, sometimes seen in eastern Texas, has additional protection and is federally listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
To report a black bear sighting in Texas, call a TPWD Wildlife Division regional office: West Texas (Alpine), (432) 837-2051; Central Texas (Kerrville), (830) 896-2500; East Texas (Tyler), (903) 566-1626; Panhandle/Rolling Plains (Canyon), (806) 651-3014; Cross Timbers (Brownwood), (325) 643-5977; South Texas (Pleasanton). (830) 569-8700. If it's an emergency, call the local sheriff's office or 911.

Whovians, you need to see this! I just found a video — a quite recent one given how difficult it was to find a video that can be viewed from the UK — and it features Miss Karen Gillan in Craig Ferguson's The Late Late Show. And what's more interesting than two of my favourite Scottish people talking about Scotland-y things and Doctor Who? Singing, that's what!
Karen Gillan sings a song… in Gaelic. How awesome-tastic is that?!
Below is a YouTube video, but it can only be viewed in America seen as it's on the CBS Channel. If you can't see it, here's a link to the video in the bing website. Hope it works! This is just too cool to miss.
Over and out.

Spare Parts.
#0109 Spare Main Housing O-Ring
#5020 Silicone Lubricant in 4 1cc Tubes
Camera's Built-in Flash.
An included flash diffuser improves lighting quality when the camera's built-in flash is used. A built-in flash is effective between 1-3 feet (0.3-0.9m) from the subject in clear conditions. For best results an external underwater strobe is recommended.
External Color Filters.
Color filters replace some of the reds, oranges and more natural tones that would otherwise be lost underwater. Effective in relatively shallow, sunny conditions. Available as #6441.46 for tropical blue water and #6441.86 for use in green water settings. For optimum results use in combination with manual white balance (see camera user guide for information on setting custom white balance).
External Underwater Strobes.
Ikelite strobes are much more powerful, recycle more quickly, and eliminate more backscatter than the camera's built-in flash. Don't settle for flat, blue-green images. Use the AutoFlash AF35 for easy automatic exposure. Or add an optional DS Substrobe with EV Manual Controller for more power and wider angle of coverage. For the best results in all conditions.
Pro-V8 LED Video Lite.
For additional lighting when using the camera's movie mode and to aid in focus. For use with or without a color filter.
Macro Port Adapter Option.
Port adapter #9306.82 (MSRP $50) slides over the front of the lens port and allows for the attachment of 67mm threaded macro lenses from Inon and Epoque. The adapter may be removed and replaced underwater and requires no modification to the housing's standard lens port. Macro lens not available for purchase through Ikelite. The camera's lens specifications prevents the effective attachment of external wide angle conversion lenses.
Wide Angle Option.
The housing's lens port accepts the optional #6430.4 WD-4 Wide Angle Conversion Dome. The WD-4 corrects for refractive magnification to take advantage of the camera's full angle of coverage underwater. The resulting image is free of vignetting and super sharp corner-to-corner. The conversion dome may be removed and replaced underwater and requires no modification to the housing's standard port.
External wide angle lenses are not compatible with this housing.

Save your work in Dropbox
Once you've finished installation, start saving all your important work in your Dropbox folder.
Work out of your Dropbox folder. Anything you save in there will be safe and accessible from any other device with Dropbox installed.
There are two ways to access your Dropbox folder on your computer:
- Just like you would access any other file on your computer: via Finder on Mac, or File Explorer on Windows.
- Via the Dropbox desktop icon in your computer's system tray or menu bar (lower-right corner on PCs or upper-right corner on Macs).
Using the Dropbox folder
Let's be clear: The Dropbox folder works like any other folder on your computer. To save your work in Dropbox, just drag and drop your files into the Dropbox folder. And remember that everything in the folder will be automatically synced to our website, so it's safe, secure, and accessible across all your other linked devices.
Understanding Dropbox syncing icons
Because we save your files on our website and make them accessible on your other devices, we add status icons to your files and folders so you know the application is working.
Here's what each of these icons means:
- Green check: All your files are saved on our website and accessible from any device.
- Blue arrows: Your files are in the process of being saved to our website and your other devices. The speed of your Internet connection, the size of the files, and the number of files all affect how long this takes. Please be patient!
- Red X: Something isn't working properly and your files are not being synced. Give it some time and check the status later. In most cases, the problem will fix itself, but if it persists, contact your admin.
Saving space on your hard drive using Selective Sync
When you start saving files in Dropbox, they'll take up hard drive space just like regular files do. If you're worried about running out of hard drive space, try using our Selective Sync feature.
Selective Sync is how you choose which folders are synced to a computer.
- By default, your folders are saved on our website and on your computer. Just like your other folders, this takes up space on your hard drive.
- As an alternative, you can decide to have certain folders saved only on our website.
- Selective Sync needs to be set up on each computer individually. This way, you can choose which files are accessible on each.
We recommend using Selective Sync for files and folders you don't access very often.
Important: If you delete files from your Dropbox folder instead of using Selective Sync to free up space, they'll be deleted from your other linked devices. They'll also be deleted from the devices of anyone you've shared the files with. Be careful!
To set up Selective Sync on your device:
- Click on the Dropbox icon in your system tray or menu bar.
- Click on the gear icon and then select Preferences.
- Go to the Account tab and pick which account (personal or work) you'd like to set up.
- Find the "Selective Sync" section and click Change Settings.... You'll see a list of all the folders in your Dropbox. By default, they will all have a checkmark next to their names, indicating they're saved on both your computer and on our website.
- Deselect the checkmark next to the folder's name if you want to remove it from your hard drive.
- When you click Update, the files will automatically be removed from your computer, but will still be available on our website.
Uploading files on the Dropbox website
If you don't have the desktop application installed, or just want to upload a few files, you can always use our website.
Since the website uploader has a limit of 10 GB per file, and can only upload selections of files, we recommend using the Dropbox desktop application for entire folders and large files.
To upload files on the website:
- Sign in to the Dropbox website.
- Click the Upload button at the top of the window.
- A window will appear. Click the Choose File button and then select the file on your computer that you'd like to add to your Dropbox.
- Choose as many files as you like, and then click the Start Upload button.
Your files will start uploading, and you'll see a progress indicator. Once it's done, your files will be in your Dropbox!

Watch Fareed Zakaria's full interview with author Salman Rushdie on GPS, Sunday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET
Manufactured outrage such as that seen in recent protests in Egypt, Libya and elsewhere is "much more prevalent and much more widespread" than it was when The Satanic Verses was published, the book's author, Salman Rushdie, has told Fareed Zakaria.
Rushdie sparked controversy, and enraged Iranian Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, in 1989 with his novel The Satanic Verses, a book widely praised by critics but condemned as blasphemous by Khomeini.
Back then, a fatwa was issued, and on Monday, Imam Hojatoleslam Hassan Sanei raised his little-known organization's original bounty on Rushdie by half a million dollars, to $3.3 million, according to Iran's Mehr news agency. Sanei's organization, the 15th of Khordad Foundation, made news when it first offered its bounty, but it had in recent years largely faded from public view.
"The death sentence issued against Salman (Rushdie) was meant to dry the roots of anti-Islamic plots, and now by carrying out that sentence the sequence of these anti-Islamic plots could be uprooted and these days are the best time to do that," Mehr quoted the imam as saying.
Rushdie's new book, Joseph Anton: A Memoir, is an account of the firestorm surrounding The Satanic Verses. But Rushdie suggests that as with the protests over The Satanic Verses, the recent unrest surrounding a controversial video that was posted on YouTube has been managed. "At the time of the attack on The Satanic Verses, what we saw was not so much a spontaneous outpouring of rage as a very carefully manufactured outpouring," Rushdie told Zakaria.
"There was no doubt that it was highly controlled. You know, there were missives sent out from mosques to all sorts of people and they were all identical to make sure everybody was singing from the same song sheet...making the same attacks on the book in the same words."
"Looking back at it, you can see that that was one of the early moments at which this project of manufacturing outrage began," he said. "And that's, of course, become much more prevalent and much more widespread."
"And I think certainly, if we look at what's happening now, this is very much a product of the outrage machine," Rushdie said. "Yes, there's this stupid film...and the correct response to a stupid film on YouTube is to say it's a stupid film on YouTube, and you get on with the rest of your life.
"So to take that and to deliberately use it to inflame your troops, you know, is a political act," Rushdie added. "That's not about religion, that's about power."
Hinduism is a disgusting cult. Even to this day cross-cousin, father-daughter, mother-son, brother-sister, doing each other is common practice. Let me make it easy for you and refer you to the hindu scriptures and share it with the world. Shame on Hindus and barbaric Hinduism.
Pushan is the lover of his sister [ Rg Ved VI.55.4 ][ Apte 11 ]
The Ashvisns married Surya and Savitri who is their sister [ RV I.116.19 ].
Agni is the son of his father and his sister [ Rg Ved.I.91.7 ]
We continue to monitor the economic, political and cultural bubble burst/malaise in India and are very concerned with the continued state of deterioration. At this point, we restate our view that India is in a precarious situation and that a geo-political implosion is imminent (if not already in process) and the need of the hour. As you will recall, India has an unmanageable large population mired in poverty and we are spinning our wheels trying to prop it up. Additionally, it is also too big of a geographical unit to govern. Americans now need to focus on its own people and cannot afford to handout more financial and technological aid to India.
We believe that this defragmentation of India will unleash boundless opportunities and uber economic demand that will be beneficial to US and Europe and help pull them out of current recessionary trends. We pray for the events to unfold peacefully and in a harmonious manner for the people of India and its neighbors.
Tragically, in India people are dying of hunger. Why are low caste poor Hindus prohibited from eating beef? People stop their cars, and sit for hours waiting for a cow to clear the roadway, thinking it to be sacred. In India cow meat is cheaper than other available meats. Instead of these Brahmins taking care of the low caste peoples of India, they are doing their best to save their "holy" cows instead. This is evil. According to Valmith's Ramayana, God Rama "ATE" meat. So then "why" have these Brahmins given up beef-eating? It's hypocrisy within their own religion.
Rushdie was one of the input sources for the project of manufacturing a product of outrage machine. When he found that there are now many sources which are deterrant to his business, he started finding fault in other sources. A day is not far off when he would admit that he was wrong most of the time, and that there should not be a Total Freedom.
Freedom of expression and freedom of inquiry are the best tools for sorting out what is true from what is false.
Until the western societies can get to know that Islam and the Muslim word is a society that ignorance dominants people perception, Arabs and Muslims are the worst man kind on earth. Unless Americans start to deal with these folks the way they have to be dealt with ....we shall continue to have in security in our societies, civilization and beliefs. if one depicts Prophet Mohammed it's an insult. Why, and if one is civilized enough why do you have to be insulted and go wild like an animal to kill innocent people about the depiction of Mohammed.
The outrage machine is a carefully planned operation by the Mullahs every Friday. Islam is being distorted by these 'wise" men and uneducated, gullible Muslim youth no better than to pounce on anything non-Islam!
We remain extremely appalled and highly concerned about the continued medieval cultural and barbaric social practices prevalent in the name of Hinduism in India. Much to our chagrin, the human rights organizations are either turning a blind eye towards these injustices or are being paid off to look the other way. We are particularly aware of the victims of such practices, namely, young children and women especially those women who are pregnant and are bearing a female embryo.
They are being mistreated or simply sacrificed in the name of their deities. To the civilized world such atrocious behavior is repulsive and is condemned in the strongest words. We urge the Indian Hindus to immediately cease and desist from such unacceptable norms. To them we say the world is watching and will see to it that justice prevails.
Have you seen the anti-US cartoons from Egypt? Just waiting for Americans to burn some embassies... oh wait, that won't happen.
This attempted provocation might just shine a light on the differences between the West and the Muslim word.

CD-i Games Rarity Rating / A-C
>> Sunday, January 25, 2009
Okay then guys, this is going to be the definitive series on CD-i game rarity that we shall thrash out over the coming weeks. It will kick off with all of us listing the games and how rare we believe they are. Some I have not given a rating at all and have just put a question mark (?) because I am honestly not sure about those specific titles even after working on the CD-i for over years now!! Some will probably be regional releases that we're not too sure about such as Lingo, which is a Dutch release. Post below and rate the games as follows:
1 - 4 = Fairly common and easy to find.
5 - 7 = Stepping up the rankings and would be a CD-i title any respectable collection would have.
8 - 10 = These are the rare to ultra rare CD-i games that you wish you had!!
Also inform us of your influences over the rarity ratings, for example if you go to the used goods shops in your local area or perhaps visit the regional ebay (please specify which i.e. American, British, Dutch etc etc...) and tell us where you come from.
For Interactive Dreams it would be:
Location: The Netherlands
Influences: ebay (American, British, Dutch, German), web based retailers and used goods stores in The Netherlands.

Our Interview with Reggie Watts
See original content here
We caught up with the brilliant comedian/musician Reggie Watts (IFC's Comedy Bang Bang) in San Francisco at the Outside Lands Music Festival and asked him about how he eats on tour:
Food is important, but when you tour you sometimes end up eating some pretty sh*tty food. Which sucks.
But I do try to find out the great restaurants to go to before I go to a city. Like I went to Heirloom Cafe the other day which was awesome. And I went to Zuni and had their famous chicken.
If I am in town more than a day then I have a high chance of actually going somewhere great that has a beautiful philosophy behind it — a philosophy about quality. I really love quality but sometimes you just gotta eat a hot dog cause there is nothing else around.
I wish we had Del Taco and Chipotle. They are really best in San Fran. You must visit them. Just so you know how terrible things can be.
BONUS: Watch this hilarious clip of Reggie and Michael Cera musically improvising on their love of food.

Facebook's Great Betrayal - Facebook - Gawker:
But it's not just that Facebook is tricking its users; it's betraying them. It did so when it literally communalized private friend lists that people spent years accumulating, without which their accounts would be useless. It did so when it mislead them by saying it wanted to enhance their privacy, when the real goal was growth and profit. And it continues to do so every day it does not respond to the loud fedback of its users (and the implicit feedback of its own CEO).

HONOLULU, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- Now that the issue of taxes has been addressed, U.S. lawmakers can address the "real" problem -- federal spending, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said.
McConnell, R-Ky., negotiated what he called an "imperfect solution" with Vice President Joe Biden to avert the country from going over the "fiscal cliff" of increased taxes and across-the-board spending cuts.
President Obama signed the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 Wednesday while he was in Hawaii with his family. The law makes permanent lower tax rates passed during President George W. Bush's administration on income up to $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for families; permanently indexes the Alternative Minimum Tax exemption amount to the Consumer Price Index; extends emergency unemployment benefits for one year; continues existing Medicare payment rates for physician services through Dec. 31; extends farm bill policies and programs through Sept. 30, and delays automatic, across-the-board federal spending cuts for two months.
Income above $400,000 (individual) and $450,000 (couple) will be taxed at the rate of 39.6 percent, which was effect when President Clinton was in office.
"[Now] that the president has gotten his long-sought tax hike on the 'rich,' we can finally turn squarely toward the real problem, which is spending," McConnell wrote in a commentary published by Yahoo! Wednesday.
"The first day of a new Congress always represents a fresh start," the Republican from Kentucky wrote. This year, it also presents a perfect opportunity to tackle the single-greatest challenge facing our nation: reining in the out-of-control federal spending that threatens to permanently alter our economy and dim the prospects and opportunities of future generations of Americans."
He said the deal shielded more than 99 percent of taxpayers from a massive tax hike "that President Obama was all-too willing to impose."
McConnell said the debate on taxes "is over. Now the conversation turns to cutting spending on the government programs that are the real source of the nation's fiscal imbalance."
"And the upcoming debate on the debt limit is the perfect time to have that discussion," he said.
"The president may not want to have a fight about government spending over the next few months, but it's the fight he is going to have," McConnell said, urging Democrats to "deliver the same kind of bipartisan resolution to the spending problem we have now achieved on revenue."
The bill passed the Senate, 89-8, early New Year's Day and was approved by the House Tuesday night on a 257-167 vote after discussions were raised about whether to try to amend the bill to include more spending cuts.
Obama also signed the Defense bill, which authorizes Fiscal Year 2013 appropriations for Pentagon programs and military construction, Energy Department national security programs, and Transportation Department maritime security programs; authorizes recruitment and retention bonuses, special payments, and other authorities relating to the armed forces, and makes other modifications to national security, foreign affairs and other related programs.

LAS VEGAS – Something had to give Saturday afternoon as Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch came out of turn four at Las Vegas Motor Speedway leading the NASCAR Nationwide Boyd Gaming 300 field with 38 laps remaining.
Neither Sprint Cup driver had won a Nationwide race at the track, although they had come close. In 2011, Keselowski suffered a flat tire while leading the final lap, and hometown Busch had finished second last year.
"I stepped on the gas but it felt like parachutes popped out," said Busch about the lap 162 restart while he was in second place. "The cars just flew by me. I was third or fourth by turn one."
Indeed, Keselowski turned on the jets and maintained the position to win his 28th career Nationwide race at the 1.5-mile track. He finished 0.348 seconds ahead of Busch, who was slowed by lapped traffic in the closing laps, and averaged 131.997 mph in the 200-lap race.
"Kyle is one of the best in the business and he deserves a win here. It was just our day, it was meant to be," said Keselowski, who will start second in today's Sprint Cup Series Kobalt 400. "We had to never give up.
We found every way we could to make it hard.
"This (Penske) Ford was flying today. These races aren't getting any easier to win."
In part because Keselowski's car had generator problems late in the race, resulting in a loss of power. But he had enough to finish,
Busch was clearly dejected by the outcome.
"I don't know what caused us to lose the lead, that was unfortunate," said Busch. "I think that was the race. The best motor won, that's for sure, and probably the best car."
Busch, who led three times for 33 laps, had to come from last after his crew changed a belt following qualifying and before the race. Within 20 laps, he was in the top 10.
Cup drivers took the top four spots in the race. Kyle Larson was third, followed by Dale Earnhardt Jr. Rookie Chase Elliott, makes his LVMS debut, was the highest-finishing Nationwide driver in fifth.
"Our car was good from the get-go, it was just a matter of getting it up to the front," said Eliott, who was in the top 10 throughout the race. "It was just a lot of fun. It gives us a mindset we can run up front. The cars can, just up to me to get the job done."
Elliott drives for Earnhardt, who had his driover's father Bill as his spotter.
"Chase is better than he thinks he is," said Earnhardt.
Cup notes: Drivers will be wise to note pit road speed. There were 19 violations on Saturday, with the same equipment NASCAR will use today. … Jamie McMurray posted the fastest speed in the final Cup practice on Saturday, 28.886 seconds at 186.942, with rookie Austin Dillon second. Clint Bowyer, Kasey Kahne and Kevin Harvick, last week's winner, comprised the top five. Jimmie Johnson had the best average for a 10-run run, 183.392. Pole sitter Joey Logano was 15th-best in the session. In the early morning session, Brian Vickers led the field with a28.579 run at 188.950, followed by Bowyer, Keselowski, Jimmie Johnson and McMurray. … Martin Truex Jr., who is 12th on the starting grid, will make his 300th Cup start. He has two wins, 31 top fives and 90 top tens. … Jeff Burton will also make his first start for Michael Waltrip Racing and the 692nd of his career. His has two previous wins at Las Vegas (1999 and 2000).

In February, the Center for Non-Profits conducted an online survey to see how NJ's charities were fairing as the recession lingers. Here's a summary of the results.
- Nearly two-thirds (64%) of responding organizations reported that demand for services had increased during the past year, and even more (74%) expected demand to continue to rise in 2010.
- Forty-five percent reported that total funding had declined in 2009, and 43% reported that expenses exceeded support and revenue during the most recently completed fiscal year.
- Forty-three percent of respondents reported that they had already frozen or cut salaries when the survey was taken, and 19% had implemented some reduction of staff hours. Nearly one-third (31%) had cut staff, and an additional 17% said that they might do so before the end of 2010.
- Despite these cost-cutting measures, nearly 60% of respondents expected their total expenses to rise in 2010. At the same time, only 38% expected their total 2010 funding to increase, while 35% anticipated a drop in total funding.

WildEndurance will not be taking place in 2016. Please do not register for this year.
The Wilderness Society
From its birth in the Franklin River campaign of the early 80's, saving the last wild river in Tasmania from being dammed, The Wilderness Society has been instrumental in protecting millions of hectares of magnificent wilderness. This includes such icons as the Daintree (QLD), Kakadu (NT), Macquarie Island (TAS), Ningaloo Reef (WA), Tasmanian Forests and the magnificent Blue Mountain World Heritage area (NSW) where WildEndurance is staged.
But our work is far from over - the challenges facing Australia are bigger than ever.
Spectacular areas are threatened by rampant industrialisation; our marine ecosystems are unprotected, under huge pressure from overfishing, pollution and mining. Drought and climate change put added pressure on our remaining wild places, making it more important than ever to protect them.
You can help ensure the long-term health of our environment, wildlife and future generations by participating in WildEndurance 2015 or sponsoring a team.
Now in its 9th year, WildEndurance has helped to raise over a million dollars for our environment! Let's work together to ensure a healthy environment for all.
How does The Wilderness Society work to protect, promote and restore our natural environment?
We are a national, community-based, environmental advocacy organisation. Being independent means we rely entirely on the ongoing support and commitment of people like you for our success in maintaining a healthy and sustainable environment. We provide a voice for nature at a time when this could not be more crucial.
We do research to understand the environmental impacts of activities such as logging, clearing, mining, fishing, and the nuclear industry and work with scientists to determine what nature needs to survive these pressures in the long term.
We create community awareness of threats to their local environment and cultural/economic well-being - through education, activities and events to publicise the issues.
We use government processes and the legal system to prepare submissions and provide advice to governments, promote new and improved laws to help protect the environment and use the courts if companies or governments are not complying with the laws.
We build alliances with like-minded organisations and industries to protect landscapes and ecosystems that we will depend on in the future for their biodiversity - as sources of food, medicine and recreation.
You and I
We value the power of the people to make change - our work would not be possible without our supporters in communities across the country, connected through Campaign Centres in all States in Australia. The Wilderness Society is one of the biggest member based environmental organisations in Australia.
Where your money goes provides you with more information on your team's valuable contribution and how it could help right now.
