Press Sense - 24 / 7 / 05 : Honduras Crocodiles Safe From Hunters, Not Handbags





Honduras Crocodiles Safe From Hunters, Not Handbags - Fri Jul 22, 2005

SAN PEDRO SULA, Honduras (Reuters) - A writhing mass of crocodiles slithers out of a muddy pond, the animals snapping their blood-spattered jaws shut on hunks of raw horsemeat and gulping them down in one.

For the group of onlookers standing right in front of the carnage, with no fence to protect them, it is hard to trust the guide's assurances that the crocodiles are too well-fed to bother attacking.

Luis Reyes, manager of the Cocodrilos Continental crocodile farm in northwestern Honduras, hopes to attract busloads of tourists for the adrenalin-packed experience, held every week.

Yet visitors might be less enthusiastic to learn that for the 1,000 crocodiles wallowing in the farm's mud-filled ponds, there are another 9,000 who will never see the light of day.

Instead, they go from an incubator shed to pitch-black swelteringly hot "fattening tanks" -- artificially heated to make the hatchlings grow faster. Once fully grown they are taken out, killed and skinned to make handbags.

What set out to be a conservation project in the 1990s amid concern that hunting was killing off the native population of American crocodiles, or Crocodylus Acutus, has become a lucrative business that so far has not returned even one of the reptiles to the wild.

"People used to hunt them freely. The idea of the farm was to save them from extinction, to put them back into the wild. But studies show there's now an overpopulation," Reyes said.

The farm is approved by CITES, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, as a project that does not endanger the species. Yet many question the ethics of breeding exotic species merely to be made into luxury goods.

"We originally captured 320 wild crocodiles and today we have 10,000," Reyes says proudly. "We are hoping for 6,000 births this year and our goal is 25,000 births annually."

FASHION OVER WELFARE

The farm does not appear to use brutal killing methods reported by animal rights groups at other farms around the world, such as clubbing reptiles to death or skinning them alive and leaving them to die slowly in agony. ...

The farm sold roughly 2,500 skins last year for about $200 each and its goal is to sell 10 times as many. It also sells the tasty white meat to classy Honduran restaurants.

POVERTY VS ANIMAL RIGHTS

Animal rights aside, Honduras needs to exploit all its natural resources to claw its way out of extreme and widespread poverty.

Eyeing dollars from tourists, who come to Honduras for its jungle reserves and Caribbean scuba-diving, Reyes has stocked a gift shop with crocodile heads, teeth, "asthma-curing" crocodile oil and even crocodile claw backscratchers.

Critics say a better tourist pull could be a tour to see crocodiles in the wild, which could also create more jobs. ...

Press Sense - 26 / 7 / 05 : Benchmark Breaches 7500-Mark, Hits Fresh Life-Time Peaks





Benchmark Breaches 7500-Mark, Hits Fresh Life-Time Peaks - uly 25, 2005

Mumbai, Jul 25 (PTI) The bull charge at the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) was virtually unstoppable today, with the Sensex breaching the crucial 7500-mark and touching a fresh lifetime closing peak of 7505.60, driven up by sustained FII buying coupled with shortcovering by operators.
Buying was at its peak when the benchmark touched the historic high of 7526.88 during intra-day deals, buoyed partly by the Centre's nod to double the investment limit of profit-making public sector units.

The BSE benchmark 30-share index opened moderately higher at 7427.65 and later surged up to end the day at 7505.60 as against last Friday's close of 7423.25, a net rise of 82.35 points or 1.11 per cent.

Barring a few corrective movements, the dream-run at the BSE displayed a massive gain of 312 points or 4.33 per cent in July so far. PTI

Press Sense - 5 / 8 / 05 : Vitamins Are Deadly! ...and Other Nonsense You Will Hear In The Mainstream Press

Vitamins Are Deadly! ...and Other Nonsense You Will Hear In The Mainstream Press
Oct 1, 2004
A new wave of anti-vitamin hysteria is making waves in newspapers, magazines and news networks around the world. You have may have seen some of the headlines that say things like, "Deadly side effects of vitamins," and imply that vitamins will kill you. Many conventional doctors and critics of nutrition are jumping on the bandwagon with this one, coming up with all sorts of distorted headlines that gleefully claim people are not just wasting their money by taking vitamins, but they're actually killing themselves by doing so. According to the reports, this is all based on a scientific study that proves vitamins kill you. But let's take a closer look at the real story here, and find out why there is so much distortion going on, and what the study results actually say.

First of all, realize there are several steps of distortions taking place here. What you're reading in the press is "...all nutritional supplements will increase your rate of mortality." That is such a broad and distorted statement as to be laughable. A slightly more accurate statement, but still highly distorted, would be that vitamins, not all nutritional supplements, are increasing the mortality rate -- that is, vitamins only.

Now you see, most people don't distinguish between vitamins and nutritional supplements. To most consumers, minerals like calcium and magnesium are also considered vitamins. But in the study there were certain vitamin chemicals that were studied, not other nutritional supplements, such as mineral supplements or superfood supplements.

But in reality, the study isn't even saying that vitamins are going to kill you in the first place. The study was conducted only on cancer patients, so the conclusion that was drawn really only indicated a slightly increased death rate among cancer patients, not among the entire population. Furthermore, it wasn't all vitamins, it was only certain vitamins; that is, a combination of vitamins A and E increased the death rate very slightly among certain cancer patients.

Finally, a critical review of these studies indicates that the vitamins actually studied here were almost universally synthetic vitamins, meaning they weren't actually natural vitamins at all. These are man-made chemicals that don't appear in nature. This is especially true of vitamin E, which, in its synthetic form, has the opposite molecular structure of natural vitamin E.

So, the correct statement here is that, "Synthetic chemicals were found to slightly increase the death rate among certain cancer patients." That is the conclusion of this study. It is such a weak conclusion, in fact, that the very authors of the study said there was "no convincing proof of hazard" for taking vitamin supplements. They also pointed out that the conclusions drawn from this study were of borderline statistical significance, and that many more studies would be needed to draw any conclusions.

Press Sense - 14 / 8 / 05 : Fireman Admits To Starting Fires

Fence Eating Tree : The photo above shows a tree that evidently craves iron. It was taken in an IHOP parking lot in Chicago, Illinois. Trees have an amazing ability to survive seemingly very inhospitable habitats, such as this manmade environment of rusted steel and asphalt. In addition, city trees have to endure high levels of pollution, in the air and in the water. However, any tree with this little fella's arm around it would have to feel a bit better about the mess it's in.

Fireman Admits To Starting Fires
Fri Aug 12, 2005


DRAGUIGNAN, France (Reuters) - A French fireman, a favorite of journalists reporting on forest fires in southern France, admitted to starting seven of them Thursday, a fire brigade source said.

Police found incriminating evidence at the home of the fireman, whom they had suspected for some time, the source said. The fireman, who regularly talked to journalists about the fires in the Var region, will be detained pending investigation.

Investigators will look into whether he might have been responsible for more of the fires.

Press Sense - 22 / 8 / 05 : Convicted Felon's 'Cures' Tops Book Charts




Convicted Felon's 'Cures' Tops Book Charts : Mon Aug 22, 2005
NEW YORK (Reuters) - He went to prison for fraud and was ordered by the U.S. government to stop touting health products on infomercials, but Kevin Trudeau's book "Natural Cures 'They' Don't Want You to Know About" is a bestseller.

Trudeau, who for years sold snoring remedies and memory enhancers through long-format commercials dressed up as talk shows, says he is a consumer advocate battling the "unholy alliance" of drug companies and government regulators.

"It's all about money. The drug industry does not want people to get healthy," he says in a commercial for his book. Trudeau says he has sold about 4 million copies of the book in under a year, a huge amount for a self-published book marketed initially only through the Internet and television infomercials.

The book -- whose back cover says "Never get sick again!" and "Learn the specific natural cures for herpes, acid reflux, diabetes ... cancer ... and more!" -- has topped the Publishers Weekly nonfiction bestseller list for the past three weeks.

That attracted the attention of the New York Consumer Protection Board, which issued a warning this month that Trudeau promised cures he did not deliver.

"This book is exploiting and misleading people who are searching for cures to serious illnesses," said Teresa Santiago, who chairs the board. "From cover to cover, this book is a fraud," she said, adding that a doctor quoted apparently endorsing the book died in 2001.

Trudeau filed a lawsuit to stop the Consumer Protection Board from approaching TV stations to persuade them not to air his infomercials.

He says he recommends herbs, vitamins and other alternative treatments and, while urging people to consult doctors, lists cures such as shark cartilage for tumors and organic dark chocolate for stress. ...

Press Sense - 29 / 8 / 05 : Hurricane Katrina Roars Toward Louisiana




Hurricane Katrina Roars Toward Louisiana - Mon Aug 29, 2005


NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) - Powerful Hurricane Katrina roared toward the Louisiana coast on Monday with 150 mile per hour (240 kph) winds and a massive storm surge that threatened to swamp the historic city of New Orleans.

Katrina was losing intensity as it approached land, but was still expected to deal a serious blow as it came in from the Gulf of Mexico.

As of 5 a.m. EDT (0900 GMT), the eye of the storm was just off the southeastern Louisiana coast about 90 miles south-southeast of New Orleans and moving north at 15 mph (24 kph), the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.

Winds of 91 miles per hour (146 kph) had been recorded at Grand Isle on the coast, while gusts in New Orleans were already up to 71 mph (114 kph), or almost hurricane force.

Rains pelted the area and were expected to total up to 15 inches, but so far there had been no reports of serious damage.

At least a million people had fled the area ahead of the powerful storm, which was once a fearsome Category 5 storm with 175 mph (280 kph) winds, but was now a Category 4 on the five-step Saffir-Simpson scale.

Weather experts issued dire predictions for the fate of New Orleans, saying that thousands of homes could be damaged or destroyed and a million people left homeless by a storm surge forecast to be as high as 28 feet above normal.

As Katrina plowed through the Gulf of Mexico, oil companies shut down production from many of the offshore platforms that provide a quarter of U.S. oil and gas production.

At least 42 percent of daily Gulf oil production, 20 percent of daily Gulf natural gas output and 8.5 percent of national refining capacity was shut on Sunday, producers and refiners said.

U.S. oil futures jumped nearly $5 a barrel in opening trade to touch a peak of $70.80. The rise in oil prices fed through to other financial markets, hurting stocks and the dollar on fears that economic growth might be curtailed but boosting safe havens such as government bonds and gold.

One Reason To Say Yes To Lap Dancing ...
- Fri Sep 2, 2005


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An angry San Diego topless dancer pulled out a knife and stabbed a customer after he refused a lap dance, police said on Thursday.

Lawanda Dixon, 24, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon shortly after the altercation with 33-year-old Melik Jordan at the Dream Girls Cabaret early on Wednesday, San Diego police Det. Gary Hassen said.

"He was in the club with some friends watching the shows when she came up and asked if he wanted a lap dance," Hassen said. "He said no, she got upset about it, they argued back and forth. She pulled knife out of her bag and stabbed him."

Dixon was taken into custody and police found methamphetamine in a small metal container in Dixon's bag, Hassen said, adding that she may face drug charges. Officers also confiscated a small folding knife.

Jordan was treated for his injuries and released by a local hospital.

Press Sense - 28 / 9 / 05 : Tearful Lynndie England Gets 3 Years In Prison




Tue Sep 27, 200


FORT HOOD, Texas (Reuters) - Lynndie England, the U.S. soldier pictured holding a leash to a naked Iraqi inmate at Abu Ghraib prison in a scandal that prompted global outrage, was sentenced on Tuesday to three years in prison and given a dishonorable discharge.

In sentencing testimony just hours before, England, who had faced a maximum of nine years behind bars, said she was sorry for her actions but said she remained an American patriot.

"After the photos were released, I've heard that attacks were made on U.S. armed forces because of them," she said.

"I apologize to coalition forces and all the families," England, speaking slowly, told the jury of five officers, also apologizing to "detainees, the families, America and all the soldiers."

Press Sense - 2 / 10 / 05 : Mahatma's Statue In China




Friday, September 9 2005


Beijing: India and China, the two fastest developing Asian giants, can together ensure that the world does not lose faith in humanity as taught by Mahatma Gandhi, visiting Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said today (Sept 9, 2005).

"As the two largest developing countries in the world, the two most populous countries and two fastest growing economies in the world, China and India working together can ensure that the world does not lose faith in humanity for our two countries constitute almost 40 per cent of all humanity,"

Patil said after unveiling the first bust of the Father of the Indian Nation at the Chaoyang Park in the Chinese capital.

"The unveiling of the statue of Mahatma Gandhi is a high point of my present official visit to China as the Home Minister of India. This is a milestone that I will cherish," he said on the third day of his five-day official visit.

Quoting Mahatma Gandhi, Patil said Gandhi had 'urged us not to lose faith in humanity' for 'humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.' ...

Press Sense - 6 / 10 / 05 : Chess Boxing Tests Brain and Brawn in Berlin




Thu Oct 6, 2005


BERLIN (Reuters) - Bulgarian boxer Tihomir Titschko's punishing right hook and fancy footwork were not enough to defeat his opponent.

Instead, it was the stocky fighter's mastery of knights and bishops that proved decisive in his successful bid to become the first European chess boxing champion on Saturday night in a dimly lighted warehouse in east Berlin.

Chess boxing is one of the newest and most unlikely hybrid sports, designed to test both brain and brawn. A typical match consists of up to 11 alternating rounds of boxing and "blitz" chess sessions.

Contestants start with a four-minute chess round, then it's into the ring for a two-minute bout of boxing. A minute's break to tend wounds and remove gloves and the sweaty competitors, towels around their necks, sit down at the chess board again.

The form of chess played is "blitz" chess. Competitors have a total of 12 minutes on the clock before the match is over.

"I was just curious," said Tobias Gries, a 30-year-old from Berlin who watched Saturday's championship. "It is one of most unusual combinations possible, so it was interesting to see how these totally contrasting games could be brought together."

The World Chess Boxing Organization (WCBO), which trains several dozen chess boxers twice a week near its headquarters in Berlin, says combining the "No. 1 intellectual sport" with the "No. 1 fighting sport" offers a unique challenge.

The group's motto is: "Fighting is done in the ring and wars are waged on the board."

The German capital, which has won a reputation as a cutting-edge, bohemian city since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, seemed the perfect place to host the competition.

Although a chess boxing contest can end with a knockout, checkmate, or judges' decision, the final on Saturday ended in the seventh round when Titschko's opponent, Andreas Schneider of Germany, conceded defeat.

Schneider's 12 minutes of chess time had nearly elapsed and his king and remaining pawns were in hopeless retreat. He extended his hand to congratulate Titschko. ...

Press Sense - 31 / 10 / 05 : Dhoni's Diwali Fireworks Overwhelms Sri Lanka




Dhoni's Diwali Fireworks Overwhelms Sri Lanka

Jaipur, Oct 31 (PTI) Diwali-eve fireworks by wicketkeeper-batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who smashed a dazzling unbeaten 183, took India to a 3-0 lead in the seven-match one-day series against Sri Lanka here today.

Ten towering sixes and 15 fours studded Dhoni's 145-ball innings which fell 11 runs short of the world record one-day score of 194 by Pakistan's Saeed Anwar. This is the second highest score by an Indian after Sachin Tendulkar's 186 against New Zealand at Hyderabad in 1999.

Dhoni, who broke the record for maximum sixes by an Indian, completely overshadowed a sterling 138-run knock by his Sri Lankan counterpart Kumar Sangakkara as India recorded a comfortable six-wicket victory overhauled the target of 299 with 3.5 overs to spare.

Dhoni's score also equalled Sourav Ganguly's 183 which also came against Sri Lanka at Taunton during a World Cup match in 1999.

The 24-year-old Jharkhand batsman put on valuable partnerships with Virender Sehwag (38) and skipper Rahul Dravid (28) after the in-form Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed cheaply for two in the very first over.

Dhoni brought the winning runs in style, with a huge six off Tillekeratne Dilshan. PTI

Press Sense - 3 / 11 / 05 : India Clinch One-Day Series In Style




India Clinch One-Day Series In Style


Pune, Nov 3 (PTI) India clinched the seven-match series against Sri Lanka by taking an unassailable 4-0 lead in the fourth game here today, relying on brilliant team work to record a one-day title triumph after a gap of nearly one and half years.

Chasing a stiff target of 262 for victory, the Indians were in a spot of bother at one stage before the new batting sensation Mahendra Singh Dhoni (45 not out) and young Suresh Raina (39 not out) kept their cool to steer the team to a four-wicket victory with 26 balls to spare.

It was yet another commendable performance by Rahul Dravid and his men as they not only only recorded their fourth convincing win on a trot but also notched up their first one-day win since the tour of Pakistan in March-April last year.

Dhoni, who played a sedate knock in keeping with the situation, brought about the remarkable victory in style by clobbering Russel Arnold for two consecutive sixes to send the capacity crowd at the stadium into a frenzy.

Captain Rahul Dravid (63), Virender Sehwag (48 ) and Venugopala Rao (38 ) were the other notable contributors for India who avenged their recent defeats against Sri Lanka. PTI

Dhoni, Rao, Raina Are Future Of Indian Batting: Dravid

Pune, Nov 3 (PTI) The future of Indian batting has arrived in the shape of youngsters like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Suresh Raina and Venugopal Rao, skipper Rahul Dravid said today.
"Dhoni, Raina and Venugopal Rao are the future of Indian batting and it looks very exciting," Dravid said after the youngsters scripted a series-clinching four wicket victory over the Sri Lankans here.

"It is most satisfying to see players who have not even played 10 games for the country take responsibility and see the side home," he said.

Admitting that he himself played a bad shot at a crucial juncture, Dravid said Raina and Dhoni played "brilliantly" under pressure to settle the match.

Talking about the gains from the series, he said "we played as a team and everyone contributed towards the cause." Dravid singled out Ajit Agarkar and Harbhajan Singh for special praise saying the off-spinner's bowling had made a big difference to the side.

Rival captain Marvan Atapattu said "things are not going too well for us and these are tough times." "A couple of missed chances cost us and the Indians finished the match pretty well," Atapattu said, adding however that there were clear signs of improvement in the side.

Man of the match Ajit Agarkar said he concentrated on hitting good areas and bowling straight.

"My action is holding up well as I have worked hard on it am getting good swing and reverse swing at the moment," the wiry paceman said. PTI

Excuse me? Can you please repeat that address?


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Wed Nov 23, 2005 - Michael Fisk is a street fighting man. And the street he's fighting is named _.

Fisk, who lives on _ Street in the Los Angeles suburb of West Hollywood, has gone to city hall to get the road's name changed -- saying that its slang meaning has made life difficult for homeowners.

"Since we moved in four years ago its just become such a hassle," Fisk said. "It's embarrassing. Something definitely needs to be changed. I realize that it's a man's name, but words change meaning, and this one has."

_ Street is in a neighborhood that fancies first names for its roads, with Keith and Norma among the choices.

Fisk, who collected signatures on a petition from more than half of the residents on _ Street, has so far been met with a lack of interest from city officials, who say that changing a street name***** is too much work.

A Very Creative Way To Shorten Their Commute...


RIYADH (Reuters) - Mon Nov 28 - Four Saudi women teaching in a remote village school have married their driver so they can live closer to work, Al-Watan newspaper said on Monday.

The newspaper said the women from Al-Baha province in south-west Saudi Arabia were impressed with the man's "good morals" and decided to marry him and live together in the village where they teach -- avoiding a tiring daily commute.

They were married in a short ceremony, and have agreed to pay the driver a share of their monthly salaries, Al-Watan said. Women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia, while men can marry up to four women according to Islamic law.

Press Sense - 30 / 11 / 05 : Creativity Linked To Sexual Success




Creativity Linked To Sexual Success


LONDON (Reuters) - Tue Nov 29, 2005 - Pablo Picasso, Lord Byron and Dylan Thomas had more in common than simple creativity. They also had active sex lives, which researchers said on Wednesday was no coincidence.

Psychologists at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and the Open University in Britain found that professional artists and poets have about twice as many partners as other people.

Their creativity seems to act like a sexual magnet.

But Dr Daniel Nettle, a psychologist at Newcastle University's School of Biology, said it is a double-edge sword.

"Poets and artists have more sexual partners but they also have high rates of depression," he told Reuters. ...
