Camel demand soars in India By Jo Johnson in New Delhi Published: May 2 2008 19:05 | Last updated: May 2 2008 19:05 Farmers in the Indian state of Rajasthan are rediscovering the humble camel. As the cost of running gas-guzzling tractors soars, even-toed ungulates are making a comeback, raising hopes that a fall in the population of the desert state’s signature animal can be reversed. “It’s excellent for the camel population if the price of oil continues to go up because demand for camels will also go up,” says Ilse Köhler-Rollefson of the League for Pastoral Peoples and Endogenous Livestock Development. “Two years ago, a camel cost little more than a goat, which is nothing. The price has since trebled.” The shift comes not a moment too soon for a national camel population that has fallen more than 50 per cent over the past decade, to about 450,000, according to government figures. Market prices for these “ships of the desert”, which crashed with the growing affordability of motorised transport, are rising again as oil prices soar. A sturdy male with a life expectancy of 60-80 years now fetches up to Rs40,000 ($973), compared to Rs5,000-Rs10,000 three years ago, according to Hanuwant Singh of the Lokhit Pashu-Palak Sansthan, a non-profit welfare organisation for livestock keepers. Entry-level tractors cost around $4,000. “It’s very good news,” says Mr Singh, whose organisation aims to dispel the image of backwardness associated with camel ownership and tries to promote higher economic returns for breeders. “We had started to see camels, even female ones, being slaughtered for their meat. Now they are replacing the tractor again.” It is too soon to say that the future for camels is bright. Shrinking grazing areas and a lack of investment in fodder trees may thwart a sustainable revival. Inadequate nutrition undermines the resilience of camel herds, making them vulnerable to disease and lowering birth rates. The LPPS is encouraging the Raika community – traditional guardians of the camel population since the days when Maharajahs rode them into battle – to diversify into products such as camel milk, optimistically dubbed “the white gold of the desert”, camel leather handbags and camel bone jewellery. Animal-lovers hope that the surge in oil prices will enhance the status of camel-breeders, who resent the lack of respect society has accorded their traditional knowledge, and give the Raika a strong incentive to stop selling female camels for slaughter.

my best, red. you are the best!

i am glad i gave up watching that cruel 'sport' 20 years ago, although it wont help the poor beasts any. "Favorite Big Brown wins Kentucky Derby May 3 06:25 PM US/Eastern LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Big Brown won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, living up to his status as the pre-race favorite. Filly Eight Belles was second, but she broke down as the 20-horse field galloped out past the finish line. She was later euthanized on the track."

i love that stuff and have been gobbling it up for 50 years.

Jessica Williams's Songs for a New Century Overlooked jazz pianist gets a little too sleepy by Brant Reiter April 22nd, 2008 12:00 AM Jessica Williams Songs for a New Century Origin You grow up in Baltimore, study classical piano at the Peabody Institute, and wind up gigging with Philly Joe Jones in his namesake town while you're still in your twenties. In '77, you split for the West Coast, hold down the house seat at San Francisco's Keystone Korner, back Stan Getz, Dexter Gordon, Tony Williams, and Charlie Haden. By the late '90s, you've cut a couple dozen discs under your own name, been compared to everyone from Tatum to Tyner to Tristano to Monk, done the requisite Maybeck recital, and garnered plaudits from keyboard peers like Cedar Walton and Dave Brubeck, the latter calling you "one of the greatest jazz pianists I've ever heard." Hell, you've even scored a Guggenheim fellowship. And still, someone mentions your name in New York and the response is: "Jessica who?" I'd like to say this new solo disc is the one that'll win Williams the East Coast recognition she merits. Unfortunately, Songs for a New Century is a low-key-to-a-fault affair, a somewhat soporific set of mostly pensive, impressionistic originals that display little of the fire, wit, or jaw-dropping technique for which Williams, 60, is lauded. Frankly, it all sounds quite a bit like the old century—specifically, like Bill Evans (another fan, and for whom Williams opened) circa 1961. Often lovely, the record nonetheless bears few surprises. Seek out 2002's splendid This Side Up for a better introduction to this overlooked artist, who remains based in the Northwest and is thus far out-side New York's provincial jazz purview.

ADVERTISEMENT Plastic bridge longer-lasting CINCINNATI (AP) — A plastic bridge is taking shape in suburban Cincinnati, promising a longer life than a conventional concrete-and-steel bridge. The 22-foot span in Anderson Township is made of composite deck and beams molded into single panels and held together with epoxy. It won’t corrode or be prone to cracking or salt damage because it has no joints between its deck and beams. ADVERTISEMENT The bridge cost $740,000, funded by a federal grant. While composites have been used in decks and other construction for a decade, they are expensive compared with concrete and steel. The bridge should open in a few weeks. Experts could not provide the cost of a comparable steel-concrete bridge because of several variables. “This is newer technology, and as we get better at using it, that will help. As we get more experience and more use, some of the costs will come down,” said Scott Reeve of Composite Advantage, the Dayton company that built the panels. The panels are made of fiberglass fabrics wrapped around a fiber-enforced foam core, infused with vinyl resin. “It’s similar to what’s used in boats because it’s good for moisture, corrosion and impact. It’s very durable,” Reeve said. Composite Advantage, a two-year-old company, was spun off from the National Composite Center technology incubator in Kettering. “They don’t corrode,” Reeve said. “Composite tanks have been buried underground for 45 years, they dig them up, and there is no problem. ... We see no problem with (bridge panels) lasting 100 years,” compared with about 70 for a conventional bridge. Hamilton County bridge engineer Tom Brayshaw said the panels should last the life of the bridge — and then some. The bridge has eight panels, each weighing 5,500 pounds. “That ends up being about one-fifth the weight of a concrete-steel bridge,” Reeve said. When the bridge reopens in a few weeks, motorists won’t notice any difference, Brayshaw said. The paint produces the concrete gray color typical of traditional bridges. The deck will be covered with asphalt, and guardrails will be installed before the bridge reopens. Brayshaw said University of Cincinnati researchers, who have already been tracking test panels, will gather data from sensors in the bridge. In addition to normal traffic — fewer than 1,000 vehicles a day — the bridge will be tested by driving gravel trucks over it repeatedly to see how it responds to heavy loads, Brayshaw said.

i think i filled out a form for this several months ago, but havent received the check yet.
