Wildlife expert Ron Wooten said he started researching the animals after a group of them attacked his dog back in 2013.

Wooten found a carcass of one of the canines that was killed by a car and sent it off to Princeton University. The animal's DNA showed it ... |

Former Thiess John Holland executive Stephen Sasse has given evidence that Opposition Leader Bill Shorten was directly involved in discussions about $300,000 | in payments to the Australian Workers Union when he was national secretary in late 2004 and that a series of invoices for large payments appear to be bogus.

In order to create the cash flow necessary to continue issuing grants year after year, most foundations reinvest the majority of their endowment in the open market. Historically, however, major funders haven’t thought a lot about how to use that... |

When you think of the name Ben Hogan and even when you take a look at the recent club introductions from the new Ben Hogan Golf Equipment Company | , your natural inclination is toward precision and classic blade-like design. It's what you think of when you think of Hogan blade irons, Hogan's 1-iron shot at Merion in the 1950 U.S. Open, and well, maybe a new collection of Ben Hogan hybrids.
Hybrids? Really, says Terry Koehler, the president and CEO of the equipmen... |

Goodbye, 1986 election. Hello, 1988 presidential race. As the last cheer fades from this year's campaign, political attention immediately swings toward 1988 | and the two frontrunners for the White House - Vice-President George Bush and US Sen. Gary Hart.
The 1988 race, jampacked with potential candidates, has created great anticipation in both parties. It should be a watershed election, according to analysts like Republican John Sears III, who says it will set the politica... |

There is a woman who sings at our church. She has a fine voice and is obviously an accomplished vocalist. Included in her repertoire is a | vibrato which when used to highlight a note or passage adds significantly to the music. However, when used on every note, as she does, it is just plain annoying.
The same can be said of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Unlike his milquetoast predecessor nominees (Sen. John McCain and former Go... |

Sooty air pollution can cause genetic damage that can be passed along to offspring, Canadian researchers reported today in a study on mice.
Follow | -up work is needed to learn if people can inherit pollution-damaged DNA that harms their health. In the meantime, the discovery is sure to increase scientists' worry about particulates, the microscopic soot particles emitted by factories, power plants and diesel-burning vehicles.

Is ‘Brand Journalism’ the New PR?
PR professionals: Do you consider yourself content providers? How about reporters? Bloggers? | Are we getting close?

How I Got Started: "I first started taking photographs going into high school. I was really into graffiti at the time. The camera was really | just a device for me to document what my friends and I were tagging. We were just kids looking to have fun, with no artistic intention. I would buy disposable cameras (they were really light to carry around), and then made 4x6 prints once I went through the roll. Eventually, illegal activities and the disposable camer... |

January 12, 2010: For the last five years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been developing an arms industry. With that in | mind, a recent deal with South Korea should come as no surprise.

In an interview with Media Matters, Rolly discussed the importance of following the money.

The idea that history moves in cycles tends to be viewed with suspicion by scholars. Although historians as respected as | Arthur M.

When the sun is shining, many of us are unable to resist a trip to the beach to soak up the rays, despite recommendations that we should | cover up to reduce the risk of skin cancer.

Cable Bahamas is a strong company, with positive growth prospects, one of our best-known and most actively traded equities. Yet the share | price quoted on BISX gives the impression of a severe loser, with a decline of about nearly 40 percent in the last year, from $3.68 to $2.29. Why?
Surely not because the recession has caused mass liquidations to meet household expenses or feed the kids. No - the real reason is Bahamian shareholders are uneasy about an... |

Third, do not believe the Republican spin. The race was going to be close because there were 18 candidates with 11 of them mostly well known Republicans | .
