I grew up in the 80s, so like every kid who grew up from the 60s on, I grew up with Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts gang. I remember pouring through the Sunday comics at my grandparents’ house, just to find my favorite comic strips. Among them was Peanuts. Of course, I loved the Peanuts television specials. There was the original special, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Then there were specials for every other holiday including Thanksgiving, Easter, Valentines, and who could forget, Halloween?

Free Music Downloads Without the Legal Peril

It’s simple to get free music from online services like LimeWire, but it could also bring an unfriendly letter from a lawyer.

the law tends to lag behind the technological advances, there are gray areas where free music, while not clearly legal, is not clearly illegal.

The legal precedent that lets people transfer CDs to their iPods was established in Sony Corporation of America v. Universal City Studios, known as the Betamax case. Essentially, the ruling said that people could record copyrighted material for personal, noncommercial use

Some free music sources are, without question, legitimate. Apple’s iTunes, which has helped to popularize paid downloading, gives away a song by a new artist every week. A different free iTunes song is given away at Starbucks stores each week, as well. Amazon offers free downloads on its MP3 page.

Just because the artists give it away does not mean that users can

Have you filed for your HDTV Converter Box coupon yet?

No?!…

Well, you should. It’s like getting a brand new television for $20-30!

After I got my coupon card several months ago, I searched around and found a few reviews on CNet for recommended HD Converter boxes. The reviews were older than I liked but there wasn’t much else available at that time. Since then, there are other reviews available on places like Amazon and Happy Iguana’s TV Converter Box Store.

Bottom Line
Apply now, if you have not for the $40 government coupon - you’ll be glad you did!

Product Description

When his friend's death is ruled a suicide, Kevin Connor-a hustler by trade, sleuth by default-sets out to prove a case of murder. It doesn't help matters that the victim's grown children, who disapproved of their father's gay lifestyle, are only concerned about their inheritance. But they are not Kevin's only problem. His high-strung mother has moved in with him-and she knows nothing about his questionable . . . job.

Brazil: Deforestation rises sharply as farmers push into Amazon

Tue, 02 Sep 2008 09:51:54 GMT

Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk

Concerns over the destruction of the Brazilian rainforest resurfaced at the weekend after it emerged that deforestation jumped by 64% over the last 12 months, according to official government data.

Brazil's National Institute for Space Research this week said that around 3,145 square miles - an area half the size of Wales - were razed between August 2007 and August 2008.

With commodity prices hitting recent highs and loggers and soy farmers pushing ever further into the Amazon jungle, satellite images captured by a real-time monitoring system, known in Brazil as Deter, showed that deforestation was once again on the rise after three years on the wane.

Brazil's push to expand its economy and develop the Amazon region is posing increasing threats to Brazil's natural resources. They accuse the government of retreating from its promises to defend the Amazon rainforest, which has been decimated since the 1970s by a mixture of logging, cattle ranching and soy farming.

Rate of Amazon deforestation increases

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil: The rate of Amazon deforestation increased 69 percent in the past 12 months - the first such increase in three years - as rising demand for soy and cattle pushed farmers and ranchers to fell trees, officials said Saturday.

About 8,147 square kilometers, or 3,145 square miles, of forest were destroyed between August 2007 and August 2008 - a 69 percent increase over the 4,820 square kilometers felled in the previous 12 months, according to the National Institute for Space Research, which monitors destruction of the Amazon.

Brazil's government has increased cash payments to fight illegal Amazon logging this year, and it eliminated government bank loans to farmers who illegally clear forest to plant crops.

The country lost 2.7 percent of its Amazon rain forest in 2007, or 11,000 square kilometers. Environmental officials fear even more land will be cleared this year, but they have not forecast how much.

Anthropologists in Amazon Jungles

Revealed by overgrown earthworks, the 100 square-mile urban units consist of clusters of interconnected villages ranging from 50-150 acres in size. The town-nodes were arranged along a highly-regular pattern of roads built around a central plaza about 500 feet across. The cities appear to have been at their height between the 13th and 17th centuries.

"No single Xingu settlement merits the term 'city.' But what do you do with a core of five settlements are few kilometers away from each other?" Michael Heckenberger, a University of Florida anthropologist currently in Brazil, told Science. "A fast walk from one to another would take you 15 minutes, maximum."

The work suggests that the Amazon basin, particularly the Xingu region, may have been more populated than previously thought, but without the traditional city structures that mark other old urban civilizations in other parts of the world.

Ford did question, however, Heckenberger's use of the term "urban" to describe the settlements.

Amazons' lost towns

'Lost towns' discovered in Amazon

A remote area of the Amazon river basin was once home to densely populated towns, Science journal reports.

The Upper Xingu, in west Brazil, was once thought to be virgin forest, but in fact shows traces of extensive human activity.

Researchers found evidence of a grid-like pattern of settlements connected by road networks and arranged around large central plazas.

There are signs of farming, wetland management, and possibly fish farms.

The ancient urban communities date back to before the first Europeans set foot in the Upper Xingu region of the Brazilian Amazon in the 15th Century.

"They have quite remarkable planning and self-organisation, more so than many classical examples of what people would call urbanism," he said. Although the remains are almost invisible, they can be identified by members of the Kuikuro tribe, who are thought to be direct descendents of the people who built the towns.
