We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to reclassify the broad-snouted caiman in Argentina from endangered to threatened in the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (ESA or Act). As part of this proposed rule, we would establish two distinct population segments (DPSs) of the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris): a DPS in Argentina and a DPS that would encompass Bolivia, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. This second DPS would remain listed as endangered under the Act. We are proposing this action under the Act based on the best available data indicating that the Argentine population of the broad- snouted caiman no longer meets the definition of endangered under the Act. Intense management of the species in Ar...

By E. Kyle Minor NEW HAVEN -- Brian Friel's captivating and heartrending "Molly Sweeney" is an unusual -- daringly so -- theater piece. Since its Dublin premiere in 1994, many argue that it is not really a play, and, depending on one's definition of what constitutes a play, they may well have a point.
Presently at Long Wharf Theatre's Stage II through Oct. 16, "Molly Sweeney" is a series of three intertwined monologues describing past actions, delivered directly to the audience. The three characters neither interact with nor acknowledge each other's presence. There is no singular protagonist overcoming obstacles in pursuit of the goal. One could certainly say there is conflict, yet not in the traditional, theatrical sense.

HUNTINGTON - Like a lot of college basketball coaches, Donnie Jones is an old point guard.
The transition is all too natural. The point guard is the team's best ball-handler and, therefore, directs the offensive attack. By definition, a good point guard is a coach on the floor.

First passed in 1977, the statute aimed to replace the Trading With the Enemy Act (TWEA)7 and expand its powers in peacetime.\n These were developed for the administrative context of immigration hearings, not the enhanced formality of criminal proceedings. [...] prohibitions on carrying out protected or innocent activity designed to help designated groups violate the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of association. [...] the ambiguous reference point for the definition of "terrorist activity" that drives § 2339B permits excessive discretion during enforcement, rendering the statute impermissibly vague.

Deadline pressure and 100 amendments are cracking the unity of the state's Wind Siting Council as it strives to agree on turbine placement standards.
Even the definition of agreement is a point of contention among the 15 members. The state law that formed the council requires only that the panel make recommendations that will go to the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin and, ultimately, the state Legislature.

[Steven Silberberg] argues that NEBCO's stations remain responsive to their local markets even though the company's Vermont programming includes little local content other than sports. "We've taken radio stations that don't have financial viability or listeners and spent money to save them," Silberberg says. He says WFAD was in bankruptcy when purchased from Kathryn Messner - wife of Vermont TV weatherman Tom Messner - reportedly for $180,000. And WFAD, along with a few other NEBCO stations in Vermont, does regularly air local school sports as well as occasional live coverage of community events, Silberberg points out.
Ed Flanagan, a NEBCO coowner based in Montpelier at The Point, says its eclectic rock 'n' roll programming is the product of local decision-making. Flanagan also defends ...

Recession talk brings numerous prescriptions for recovery, and nowhere is this truer than in sales, where everyone seems to have a solution. While many of these ideas are good, they might miss the point on one of two counts: On one hand, it's a recession -- by definition, sales lag; on the other, people might be inaccurately assessing the very nature of this recession. The current recession is not from the same mold as most of those that preceded it. This is a credit-driven recession started when the credit markets dried up in the mortgage crisis. It's the credit system that's broken -- and that's what's driving this recession. Smart vendors should see this as an opportunity, and help themselves to the profits.
