Help Save The Olive Ridley Turtles
2008-05-23 15:17:00 The Olive Ridley sea turtles, one of which is pictured left, are in danger of being extinct. They are a common creature in Orissa, a state in India. However, that could all change real fast. I received an e-mail last week urging me to help save the endangered Olive Ridley turtles in India. Ratan Tata wants to put a port in Dhamra, Orissa that will contribute to the extinction of this species and possibly put others in danger. Construction has already begun despite the obvious ecological and environmental concerns. Greenpeace has the following posted on their site:"The port Tata is proposing to build in Dhamra will directly affect the Olive Ridley turtles. With 150,000 to 350,000 Olive Ridley turtles nesting in the vicinity, the average number of hatchlings is believed to range from 15 million to 35 million."When confronted by Greenpeace Tata promised concerned citizens that it would abandon the port ?if evidence of turtle presence and the ecological significance of the area were eve...

Evening Update - Paul McCartney, Chaka Khan, Frank Sinatra, Turtles
2008-05-14 07:53:00 Paul McCartney recently received a gift from Lexus to thank him for promoting their green-line of cars. Unfortunately, the Lexus hybrid limousine was shipped via jet at a huge cost to the environment compared to if it had been shipped via ground. According to sources, McCartney was horrified that the method was chosen.Chaka Khan is standing strong with her son, Damien, who is currently in rehab to deal with the aftereffects of killing a friend in their home in 2004. Damien was acquitted of after a 2006 trial but has continued to have psychological problems from the ordeal.Khan said, "Right now, he's in rehab and getting all the spiritual and psychological help he will need. He's getting his tool belt full as I did, so that he can live a good and purposeful life of service and come out of that, and be able to live. Because it's tough when you feel responsible for the life of somebody else."Frank Sinatra's widow, Barbara, was left off the invite list for Tuesday's unveiling o...

Threatened Atlantic Leatherback Turtles Split Into Two Groups To Forage, Is
2008-03-28 06:34:00 The beaches of French Guiana constitute a major reproduction site for leatherback turtles। This sea turtle, although a protected species, is threatened by human activity: it ingests plastics, get accidentally caught in fishing nets, sees its egg-laying sites destroyed and its adults hunted illegally for their meat and their eggs. Female turtles return to the same beach every two to three years to lay their eggs. What happens in the interval remains a mystery. It is sometimes possible to spot them offshore in the North Atlantic. Some even swim to very high latitudes (Canada) in search of their favorite food (principally jellyfish). Argos beacons have recently revealed that some females were swimming in two principal directions: the north as would be expected, but also towards the African coast east of French Guiana.The question is whether these locations represent two distinct feeding areas or simply an extra stopover in their migration to the far north.Several French and Belgian s...

Saving Endangered Sea Turtles
2008-02-11 11:42:00 Two leading environmental organizations, Earthwatch Institute and Ocean Conservancy, have partnered on the SEE Turtles project to promote conservation of the world’s endangered sea turtle populations। As all seven of the planet’s species are under threat, the goal of the project is to demonstrate how public involvement in turtle conservation can have a bigger economic impact on local communities than traditional hunting.SEE Turtles formally launches at the 28th Annual Sea Turtle Biology and Conservation Symposium, held by the International Sea Turtle Society, in Loreto, Baja California Sur, Mexico, from January 19 to 26. Like the SEE Turtles campaign itself, many of this year’s Symposium offerings will demonstrate both the environmental and economic benefits of turtle conservation.Sea turtles—marine reptiles whose forms and lifecycles have been virtually unchanged for millions of years—are under threat from many angles, including increased human development that destroys...

pc games Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Review
2008-02-08 16:16:00 Teenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesTime to kick some shell.It's been a while since we've been able to kick some shell with four giant, ninjitsu wielding, turtles. Spawned in 1984 by a healthy dose of green ooze and two hardworking artists, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the Mutant Ninja Turtles started a nationwide craze. These rat educated turtles popularized words like "cowabunga," "radical," and "totally tubular." Everything from animated series, toys, comics, and lunchboxes to live action movies possessed some form of Turtle power. However, out of the slew of licensed memorabilia, the one product that stands out is (at least in my mind) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Arcade. Countless hours and quarters were sucked into Dimension X thanks to the addictive power of this brawler. It's doubtful whether this arcade classic would hold the same level of appeal if it weren't TMNT, but the combination of fast paced action and turtle power had a magical hold on those who played it. Now that ...

Salmonella from pet turtles sickens 103 in '07
2008-02-02 14:59:00 Ok, so I've wanted a turtle for some time now. But Mrs. Pet Haven always cautioned me that you could get diseases from turtles. I never really knew if she was making that up, but as it turns out, she's right. According to a recent report, contact with small pet turtles was to blame for 103 Salmonella infections that occurred in 33 states between May and December 2007, according to federal health officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta.Salmonella infections can be severe, leading to hospitalization and, in some cases, death, the CDC notes.Turtles and other reptiles are well-known reservoirs for Salmonella and while the sale and distribution of small turtles — measuring less than 4 inches — was officially outlawed in the U.S. in 1975, cases of turtle-associated Salmonella infection continue to occur.Roughly half of the Salmonella infections documented in the 2007 outbreak occurred in young children, who are at greater risk for severe illness from ...

Green Sea Turtles-Photos
2008-01-29 13:38:00 NOAA photosGREEN SEA TURTLES Green sea turtles are reptiles whose ancestors evolved on land and returned to the sea to live about 150 million years ago. They are one of the few species so ancient that they watched the dinosaurs evolve and become extinct. The sea turtle's body is wonderfully adapted to life in the ocean. Their shells are lighter and more streamlined than those of their terrestrial counterparts, and their front and rear limbs have evolved into flippers making them efficient and graceful swimmers, capable of swimming long distances in a relatively short period of time. Sea turtles have been known to move through the water as fast as 35 mph. When active, sea turtles swim to the surface every few minutes in order to breathe. When sleeping or resting, which usually occurs at night, adult sea turtles can remain underwater for more than 2 hours without breathing. This is due to the fact that turtles are capable of containing higher concentrations of carbon dioxide in their...
PET TURTLES: CUTE BUT OFTEN CONTAMINATED
2008-01-29 13:03:00 Small turtles may carry deadly Salmonella, says FDAThe little glassy-eyed creatures may look cute and harmless, but small turtles can make people very ill, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warns.Turtles commonly carry bacteria called Salmonella on their outer skin and shell surfaces. People can get Salmonella by coming in contact with turtles or their habitats.Salmonella can cause a serious or even life-threatening infection in people, even though the bacteria do not make turtles sick. An example is the 2007 death of a four-week-old baby in Florida linked to Salmonella from a small turtle. The DNA of the Salmonella from the turtle matched that from the infant.People infected with Salmonella may have diarrhea, fever, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and headache. Symptoms usually appear six to 72 hours after contact with the bacteria and last about two to seven days. Most people recover without treatment, but some get so sick that they need to be treated in a hospital.Anyone can...

A toothlike cusp is located on each side of the gray upper jaw; the lower jaw is hooked anteriorly. The paddle-like clawless limbs are black with white margins and pale spotting.

These range from small freshwater species to marine giants.The source of many of our great-grandmothers’ tortoiseshell combs and hair pieces, the hawksbill turtle can be found in tropical and subtropical coastal waters across the globe. Found in the waters of 82 nations, the largest populations center in the Caribbean Sea, the Seychelles, Indonesia and Australia. Individuals often migrate hundreds of miles to nest at the beaches where they were born.Hawksbill females are exceptionally fast nesters, able to complete a nest of about 130 eggs in 60 to 90 minutes. Temperature is essential in sex determination. A nest of 86.5 degrees F or greater for instance will produce only females. Those hatchlings that evade predation and human harvesting typically spend 1-3 years at sea before moving closer to shore, along r...

Cable Turtles
2007-12-13 00:00:00 One thing that really bugs me about tech accessories is the cables. Somehow I've managed to buy a phone and camera that both use different sized USB ports so you can't use any generic cable. No, you need the one that came with it which just happens to be black and long and looks like every other cable you own. And don't even get me started on getting out the one cable you need from your laptop bag and instead pulling out every other cable in one big tangled mess. Doesn't make you look organised when trying to set up for a presentation at all. So I'm liking the look of Cable Turtles. These neat little cable organisers fit most standard cables, withstand heat so the excess cable can be kept rolled away whilst using the cable and they come in a variety of nifty colours which has got me mentally constructing a colour coded schema for my tech accessories, so that i can learn to associate 'red' with the camera cable and just grab the red cable turtle.
