Some experts have suggested that the grizzlies might not stick around long enough to face off with the polar bears, says Rockwell, but he isn't buying that. The 4,000-plus-sq.-mi. park where hunting is banned is what Rockwell calls a "food mecca" for grizzlies. Wapusk is home to some 7,000 caribou, an equal number of moose and untold numbers of rabbits, fish, geese and other creatures. When Rockwell and his team ask the real experts - the Cree elders whose ancestors have lived there for generations - they say, "Why would a bear that's found...
Paradoxically, the intrusion of another top predator could in some ways make life easier for the white bears, says Rockwell. "Polar bears will eat anything they can get their grubby little mouths around," he says. "They'll take flightless geese, seals silly enough to get caught on shore when the tide goes out and caribou and moose calves. But they can't run fast enough to bring down adult moose or caribou." Grizzlies can and do - but the catch is, as soon as a grizzly knocks one down, the polar bears will smell it. "An adult male grizzly might weigh...
...official status of the project introduces a plethora of potentially sticky issues related to intellectual property. Students who create study guides often lose control over what happens to their work once it is shared with others and may not want it posted online. Some study guides that get circulated around campus were created several years ago, and their authors might have concerns about their ideas becoming public. Moreover, because study guides are not official academic documents, they may be cobbled together in a variety of questionable ways. Some might contain whole passages copied verbatim from professor’s copyrighted...
...proclivity of Americans for divorce - recent statistics put the U.S. divorce rate at about 3.5 per 1,000 people, or roughly half the marriage rate - it may only be a matter of time before the concept makes the jump across the pond. Indeed, divorce has become a big industry around the world, thanks in part to such high-profile celebrity splits like Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston and Heather Mills and Paul McCartney. "Celebrate-don't-commiserate" products like greeting cards, sponge cakes and divorce-themed books are all the rage now in the U.S. and Europe. Christine Gallagher...
...blame is certainly going around. Many conspiracists accuse "foreign hands," more specifically Anglo-Saxons, for the Greek and Spanish crises, arguing that they have always hated the euro and are now using their hedge funds and media operations to bring it down. Some suggest that speculators are attacking the euro to block moves toward tougher European Union regulation of the market. Others, like European Central Bank chief economist Jürgen Stark, suggest people are perpetrating a ruse to hide the U.K.'s budget deficit. "It's astonishing to see where most of the criticism of the euro is coming...
