| Lions and tigers and bears | | 2008-07-01 07:38:00 | | When you have walked among the wildlife, birds, reptiles and raptors in the nature-like environment at the Denver Zoo. For many urban families and children it may be the closest they get to an experience in the natural outdoors. But it is a worthy substitute that should not be missed.The Denver Zoo is not just a zoo. It is an environment that transports you from the metro urban population to a sitting that makes you feel you are truly in the outdoors, in the habitat of the wildlife you are witnessing.The zoo is an educational classroom. It is a place to visit, a place teens and adults can volunteer. When you are there it absorbs you into the sense you are moving from the plains of South Africa to the rainforests of the Amazon to the world’s deserts, the rivers and lakes around the globe and the tundra and frozen artic circle. The realism of the animal and bird environments cast you into a kind of outdoors reality show. One forgets you are in the midst of a metropolitan city.One of th | | By: Most Popular Tourist Places | | |

| No Polar Bears Were Harmed. | | 2008-06-13 00:37:45 | | Welcome to the DONCO Science Center. "Where discoveries today are yesterday's tomorrows."Today we begin a series of articles that look at the role of carbon dioxide in Global Climate Change. I'm your host, Don Lewis, a Real Scientist.Don Lewis, BS, MS, EIEIO: A Real ScientistLet's start by defining some important terms. As many of you no doubt know, carbon dioxide is two words, consisting of 13 letters. (And a space.) But perhaps you didn't know the derivation of these two words.Carbon is a compound word:car = "automobile" and, bon = French for "good".Hence we see that carbon means a good automobile. I haven't the faintest idea how they came up with dioxide, so to hell with it.Carbon dioxide has been associated closely with Global Climate Change (GCC). GCC is a recently observed phenomena, where over time, the Earth's temperature goes up or down. For many millions of years, this did not occur.

| Alaska offers many options for viewing wildlife: Whales, eagles, bears and more | | 2008-02-13 06:20:00 | | Alaska — It was near the end of a six-hour bus tour of Denali National Park that we got a good, long look at a bear eating his way through a field of berries.Elsewhere in Alaska, my husband, two sons and I had watched whales spouting near Juneau, eagles along the Chilkat River, and waterways in Ketchikan and Skagway so full of salmon they could barely move.But we'd headed to Denali knowing that the park's 9,400 square miles are home to just 350 brown bears. We hoped to see them, but we were prepared for the possibility that we might not.And therein lies an important point to keep in mind if you're planning a trip to Alaska this summer. There are no guarantees you'll see wildlife, but you can improve your chances if you're patient and if you put yourself in the right place at the right time."People go to Alaska to see wildlife for a reason, but you see it in many ways and in many circumstances," said Holland America Line spokesman Erik Elvejord.

| Bulls, Bears, and Baristas | | 2008-01-11 23:54:00 | | by Mick WeinsteinIt's looking ugly out there. The Dow recorded its worst first five days of any new year and the S&P 500 has fallen over 6 percent in the past month. And despite Fed Chief Bernanke's market-sparking suggestion yesterday that sharp rate cuts are on the way, sentiment grows that we're facing a recession.Bargaining with the BearJohn Lincoln points to the combination of five factors -- slowing corporate profit growth, the prolonged housing slump, a continued credit crunch, and slowing consumption and manufacturing -- that suggests this bull market is coming to an end. "I don't know if this will be a 'grizzly' (vicious) bear market or a 'knut' (light) bear market," says Lincoln, but "regardless of the severity, one must be prepared for the downturn that will no doubt feel like it's the end of the world."John Mauldin, advisor to the hedge-fund stars, believes the recession is already here, but that it's going to be a mild one. The recovery period, however, will be "prolonged and slow," and will start in the third quarter of this year.Yet Markham Lee argues that the very concept of recession is more a political designation than a financial or mathematical reality: "...the reporting of economic growth, the declaration of recessions, etc., are more about confidence than about the real impact on our household budgets, investments, and businesses." Lee's advice? Ignore recession talk and focus on your own economic reality -- i.e., budget well and diversify your investment portfolio.If dealing with a recession means being realistic, then Wall Street veteran Barry Ritholtz helps process that reality. Using Elisabeth Kubler-Ross' five stages of grief, Ritholtz believes we've already passed through Denial and Anger and have arrived at the Bargaining stage. With growing expectations of a 50-basis-point interest rate cut, investors are bargaining for steady stocks if the Fed cuts aggressively.

| Polar bears and penguins do not share habitats | | 2007-12-23 15:52:00 | | The idea that polar bears and penguins populate the same geographical region is a common misconception that plagues far too many individual's minds. Sure, it might seem like a nice thing to believe - polar bears roaring ferociously, chasing poor, defenseless penguins around over snow and ice, and devouring them whole. This, however, is pure hogwash. Polar bears are entirely native to the northern hemisphere, on the complete opposite end of the Earth from where penguins make their homes. Perhaps the worst offender in spreading penguin-polar bear interaction lies is the Coca Cola company. Polar bears and penguins are frequently and unrealistically seen frolicking together and enjoying a refreshing bottle of Coke. It is high time Coke ended these commercials. I recently purchased a package of gift labels, only to find that much to my dismay a number of the labels featured penguins and polar bears jovially interacting. Such a sight would surely make any intelligent individual rebuke a gift and promptly throw it into the nearest fireplace. There's a reason Chiodos released a song titled "There's No Penguins in Alaska" on their debut full length album Alls Well That Ends Well - to end the vicious lies and false truths of the pro-polar bear-penguin interspecies soda parties groups. | | By: Sunrise on the Sufferbus | | |

| Giants at Bears, Open Thread | | 2007-12-02 06:45:41 | | Game: Giants (7-4) at Bears (5-6) Time: 4:15 p.m. TV: FOX This is a huge game for the Giants today. A victory would go a long way toward solidying a playoff berth and soothing a lot of the wounds opened last week in a 41-17 loss to Minnesota. I still believe, as I said earlier in the week, that if the Giants play turnover-free football and keep Devin Hester from hurting them they should win the football game. Weather conditions promise to be miserable, with snow and freezing rain in the forecast for Chicago. Consider this your open thread. I'm fired up. Hope you are, too!

| What to watch for: Broncos at Bears | | 2007-11-21 17:06:42 | | Time to once again break down the Xs and Os for the Broncos, this time against the Super Bowl runner up team Chicago Bears. Chicago is a team in decline, and threatens to become one of those teams that makes it to a Super Bowl then fails to make the playoffs the following year. Denver, on the other hand, is a team off to a bad start that seems to have made a major turn around and shares the lead with the Chargers in the AFC West. For the first time in a while I have a team to break down that I am familiar with. The Bears run a variation of smash mouth football that is hard to define. It doesn't easily fall into the "Erhard-Perkins" system, "3-Y Cloud" system (aka 3 yards and a cloud of dust), "Run to Daylight", nor "Single Wing". It is probably closest to the "Daylight" system, but we'll break it down more in a moment. Chicago runs the Tampa 2 variation of the Cover 2.

| Giants' defense isn't the '85 Bears yet | | 2007-10-20 14:39:00 | | No one would be foolish enough to mention this New York Giants defense in the same breath as the 1985 Chicago Bears. Would they? Bob Glauber of Newsday did just that in a column the other day. The year was 1985, long before any of these Giants defensive linemen were even thinking about an NFL career. The Bears were putting together the most dominant single-season defensive performance ever. Mention the '85 Bears and you recall a relentless pass rush, with complicated, virtually unstoppable blitzes. Mike Singletary, Richard Dent, Otis Wilson, Wilber Marshall, Dan Hampton, Steve McMichael, Gary Fencik and Dave Duerson. They crushed all but one opponent - a Dolphins team that kept the '72 Miami squad as the modern NFL's only unbeaten - before steamrolling through the playoffs and Super Bowl XX. Bears 21, Giants 0. Bears 24, Rams 0. Bears 46, Patriots 10. There will never be another team like it. Yet the thought of those Bears came to mind, albeit briefly, during Monday night's Giants-Falcons game at the Georgia Dome. While the Giants' current sack machines were mere babes, I was a rookie NFL writer who didn't fully grasp what I was seeing. All I knew was that whenever the Bears put eight, nine, 10 men at the line of scrimmage, it was one of the most exciting moments in football. Just to watch them swarm and bury the quarterback with waves of blitzes was as breathtaking as seeing Joe Montana hit Jerry Rice on a 50-yard fly. For a few fleeting moments Monday, the Giants' defense looked like a reasonable facsimile. Not that this group can be compared with the '85 Bears, because no defense this side of the Steel Curtain Steelers - not even the 2000 Ravens - was as formidable. But the scheme the Giants are running under new coordinator Steve Spagnuolo might be the closest we get to see of that attack. Finally, after the read-and-react conservatism of the Tim Lewis era, it is fun to watch the Giants' defense. Whoa, Bob! The Giants defense has been good for four games. And, yes, this attacking style is fun to watch. But let's not immortalize this group quite so fast. The Giants defense hasn't really done anything yet. The Eagles were without Brian Westbrook and had an overmatched rookie trying to stop Osi Umenyiora. The Redskins have a young quarterback. The Jets are hardly an offensive juggernaut, and the fractured Falcons barely even threatened the Giants. There is definitely reason to be optimistic. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has turned loose a fearsome group of pass-rushers, and cornerbacks Sam Madison and Aaron Ross give the Giants the best pass coverage they have had since Jason Sehorn was in his prime. Let's wait, though, until the Giants play the Cowboys again. Until they play the Eagles with Westbrook. Until they face the Patriots in their final game of the regular season. Let's wait until all the evidence is in before we start comparing the Giants to the best defenses of modern times. Let's at least wait until Spagnuolo's defense shuts down a truly good team. Until then those kinds of comparisons are just silly.

| Most Polar Bears Could Be Gone by 2050 | | 2007-09-08 02:48:22 | | Washington (ToGW) - Two-thirds of the world's current polar bear population could be gone by 2050 if predictions of melting sea ice hold true, the U.S. Geological Survey said on Friday.Polar bears could become extinct even sooner than predicted because sea ice has been melting faster than expected, the USGS said in a report aimed at determining whether the arctic bear should be classified as a threatened species."Projected changes in future sea ice conditions, if realized, will result in loss of approximately two-thirds of the world's current polar bear population by the mid 21st century," the report's executive summary said."Because the observed trajectory of Arctic sea ice decline appears to be underestimated by currently available models, this assessment of future polar bear status may be conservative."The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering putting polar bears under the protection of the Endangered Species Act.Via :: Reuters

| Bears Quickly Sign Walker to Five-Year Deal | | 2007-08-01 17:16:20 | | The Bears didn’t seem to want to wait to wrap up their newly acquired defensive tackle for a couple of years. The team on Tuesday announced that they have signed DT Darwin Walker to a five-year deal worth $25 million. The deal came down just two days after Walker was traded from the Bills to the Bears.
“This is great, and I’m just excited to be a Bear,” Walker said after practice Tuesday night. “And I look forward to trying to get to the Super Bowl.” Walker was one of the more interesting stories this past offseason. He came to the Bills in a trade from Philly, but refused to play for them unless they gave him a new deal. He was set to make $1.3 mil this year and $1.4 next.
Buffalo took a hard stance against giving Walker a new deal, and instead of reversing the trade that sent him to the Bills and allowing him to go back to Philly, instead the team worked out a deal with the Bears. Walker, now jolly and happy, said he would have taken ju | | By: NFL GridIron Gab | | |

| Al Gore and "Live Earth" Drown 10 Polar Bears | | 2007-07-06 23:57:00 | | Al Gore and his Global Warming myths have officially reached a new level of absurdity. This time the arrogance and condescending ignorance surpasses anything anyone could have imagined. I advise anyone reading this to remove any sharp objects from your vicinity; this is going to get really ugly. This Saturday, we will all be showered with the best liberalism has to offer. On Saturday, Al Gore and a bunch of rock stars will be putting on a world Concert, “Live Earth.” This concert, of course, is going to cool the planet. Yes, after all the people around the globe are done getting stoned out of their minds at a rock concert, they are all going to help pass liberal policies that will save the Planet from Global Warming. Those who attend the concert will promise to pressure their country to sign treaties to cut global warming “pollution,” personally reduce carbon dioxide “pollution” (I assume by taping their mouths shut) and plant trees, among other things.

| Bears and Briggs to Try and Settle Differences | | 2007-07-05 17:09:27 | | It appears as if the Bears and Lance Briggs are going to try and work out their differences, as agent Drew Rosenhaus has presented some new proposals to the Bears about getting Briggs back in the fold. While Rosenhaus was in Chicago wrapping up the five-year deal for first-round pick TE Greg Olsen, he gave the Bears some food for thought about Briggs. “We presented some concepts that we think will work for the Bears and for Lance,” Rosenhaus said in the Chicago Tribune.
It has been a stressful offseason between the Bears and Briggs, to the point where Chicago slapped him with the franchise tag when a new deal could not be worked out. The tag will guarentee him $7.2 mil for one season, much to the dislike of Briggs, who has been outspoken in wanting out of the Windy City. The talks between Rosenhaus and the Bears is the first sign of progress for quite some time.

| Bears should be commended | | 2007-06-26 14:09:26 | | Good for the Chicago Bears. The Bears yesterday put some teeth in the NFL's new zero tolerance player conduct policy, releasing wayward defensive tackle Tank Johnson. Johnson, of course, was already facing an eight-game suspension for violating probation on a gun charge. then, over the weekend, was pulled over for suspicion of DUI. The 'embarrassed' Bears decided to cut ties with Johnson. I applaud the move. ESPN's football blogger, Matt Mosley, on the other hand, says the Bears "shouldn't be celebrated for making this decision." Huh? Why not? NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has made it obvious that cleaning up player conduct off the field is his top priority. It's about time. For too long, the league and its teams have turned their backs on off the field law-breaking. As long as guys showed up on Sunday and performed, nobody really cared what they did with their evenings, or early mornings. Not anymore. I think the Bears are to be commended for stepping up | | By: Big Blue View | | |

| Bears cut Johnson for speeding ticket? | | 2007-06-25 23:51:39 | | The Bears have cut the Tank. From what I can make of it he is being cut for the equivalent of a speeding ticket. As everyone knows, he was pulled over for going 40mph in a 25mph zone and the officer thought he was “impaired” at the time. He was arrested for “DUI Impaired to the Slightest Degree” but was not charged or booked. Blood was taken and sent off to the lab. Johnson was said to be cooperative.
From the sounds of this Johnson was not showing he was drunk enough to be charged via a Breathalyzer so they drew blood (I’m just guessing there but the Breathalyzer would be in procedure). He was not charged because they had nothing to hold him on at that time. results won’t even be available for two weeks. Essentially, the Bears just cut a man for a speeding ticket.

| Tired of Issues; Bears Waive Tank Johnson | | 2007-06-25 22:12:40 | | Finally fed up with his off the field actions, the Bears took swift action on Monday, waiving defensive tackle Tank Johnson. The latest issue with Johnson took place on Friday, as he was stopped for speeding in Arizona, and was cited for “being impaired to the slightest degree,” according to the Chicago Tribune.
Bears GM Jerry Angelo stated the following about Johnson’s release. “We are upset and embarrassed by Tank’s actions last week,” Angelo said. “He compromised the credibility of our organization. We made it clear to him that he had no room for error. Our goal was to help someone through a difficult period in his life, but the effort needs to come from both sides. It didn’t, and we have decided to move on.”
Johnson already was suspended for the first 8 games this season after he voilated the NFL’s personal conduct policy. He was sentenced to 120 days in jail on March 15th after voilating a gun charge in 2005. He was re | | By: NFL GridIron Gab | | |

| Bears DE Harris Backtracks on Comments About Grossman | | 2007-06-19 22:46:05 | | As has happened quite a few times this NFL offseason, a player is backtracking in statments he made about something he should have tought about a little bit more before he said it. That player in this case is Bears defensive linemen Tommie Harris, who stated a few days back that he would like Eagles current QB Donovan McNabb to be the Bears starting QB this season. Whoops. Did Harris forget that the Bears already have a quarterback. Well, at least they have a player who is listed as a quarterback, and in this case, that is Rex Grossman, who certainly has had his share of Bears fans who would no longer like to have him as their QB.
But back to Harris, who on Monday was in full damage control mode, saying “sorry” to teammates about the comments. “I will be careful the next time I joke around,” Harris said in Tuesday’s Philadelphia Inquirer. “Donovan was behind the camera laughing.

| Bears’ Johnson Draws Eight-Game Suspension | | 2007-06-05 00:11:10 | | Tank Johnson of the Chicago Bears was suspended by the NFL for the first eight games of the 2007 season for violating the league’s new personal conduct policy. The defensive tackle recently served a two-month jail sentence on a probation violation on gun charges. He is the third player suspended by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in just over a month for off-field behavior.
Goodell stated that Johnson’s suspension could be reduced to six games if he has no further involvement with law enforcement and undergoes counseling. After meeting with Goodell last month upon his release from jail, Johnson said that he was prepared to accept whatever punishment Goddell handed down and that his goal was to become the NFL’s “Man Of The Year”, the player who is considered the league’s “best citizen”.
This suspension was made possible by several incidents - in December 2006, police raided the 300-pound defensive tackle’s suburban Chicago home and fo | | By: NFL GridIron Gab | | |

I had posted my resume on Monster.com and within weeks had gotten contacted by my soon to be new company. The HR representative from the company was extremely courteous which was encouraging. I was asked to visit the company for a formal interview with the VP of my future department.When I arrived for the interview I was further encouraged by the professional surroundings and the approach of my interview. I was basically treated like a king as I was toured around the building and introduced to the various groups I would be managing. The VP would comment “This is our new Client Services Manger (referring to me)” following up with “He will bring tons of analytical skill, background, and professionalism to our company.” As the interview processes ended that day my VP left me with the comment “we’ll be looking forward to your input and | | By: Turtles at Work | | |
