Jennifer Garner Baby

Jennifer Garner Baby - Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are making room for one more baby. The couple confirmed that they are expecting their third child. They confirmed the news to The Associated Press, simply saying that they are "thrilled" to have another baby.


The pair, who married in 2005, already have two daughters, Violet, 5, and Seraphina, 2. "She's always wanted three kids," a source told UsMagazine.com of Garner. "This was her plan all along." In addition to a growing family, Garner and Affleck still have busy film careers to juggle.

Garner, who recently starred in the "Arthur" remake alongside Russell Brand, has a number of films on her docket, including "The Odd Life of Timothy Green," which she just promoted at Disney's D23 convention, and "Butter." Meanwhile, "The Town" director Affleck will next star in Terrence Malick's forthcoming untitled project and is attached to the thriller "Argo."

Garner spoke to Usmagazine.com earlier this year about how she manages to balance work and family. "You have to have a great nanny, and you have to have a supportive husband," Garner said. "We figure it out day by day. It's always messy, and it's never as glamorous as people think it is, but we get through, and as long as the kids are happy, it's all good." As for fatherhood, in an interview back in 2008, Affleck shared that he hoped he's a good dad. "I hope so.

I think we all like to see ourselves as good dads, but there's also that fear, 'Oh, I don't want to be like my father,' or, 'I hope my kid doesn't turn out like me.' You know, I have those feelings too," he told the U.K.'s Mirror. "So the key is optimism."

Aplysina Archeri (stove-pipe sponge)

Aplysina Archeri (stove-pipe sponge) - Aplysina archeri (also known as stove-pipe sponge because of its shape) is a species of tube sponge that has long tube-like structures of cylindrical shape. Many tubes are attached to one particular part of the organism. A single tube can grow up to 5 feet high and 3 inches thick. 

These sponges mostly live in the Atlantic Ocean: the Caribbean, Bahamas, Florida, and Bonaire. They are filter feeders; they eat food such asplankton or suspended detritus as it passes them. Very little is known about their behavioral patterns except for their feeding ecology andreproductive biology. Their occur in varying colors including lavender, gray and brown. They reproduce both by asexual and sexual reproduction. Aplysina Archeri (stove-pipe sponge),

When they release their sperms, the sperms float in water and eventually land somewhere where they begin to reproduce cells and grow. These sponges take hundreds of years to grow and never stop growing until they die. Snails are among their natural predators. The dense population of these sponges is going down because of toxic dumps and oil spill.

Redwood National Park, California

Redwood National Park, California - The Redwood National and State Parks (RNSP) are located in the United States, along the coast of northern California. Comprising Redwood National Park (established 1968) and California's Del Norte Coast, Jedediah Smith, and Prairie Creek Redwoods State Parks (dating from the 1920s), the combined RNSP contain 133,000 acres (540 km2).


 Located entirely within Del Norte and Humboldt Counties, the four parks, together, protect 45% of all remaining coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) old-growth forests, totaling at least 38,982 acres (157.75 km2). These trees are the tallest and one of the most massive tree species on Earth. In addition to the redwood forests, the parks preserve other indigenous flora, fauna, grassland prairie, cultural resources, portions of rivers and other streams, and 37 miles (60 km) of pristine coastline. Redwood National Park, California,


 In 1850, old-growth redwood forest covered more than 2,000,000 acres (8,100 km2) of the California coast. The northern portion of that area, originally inhabited by Native Americans, attracted many lumbermen and others turned gold miners when a minor gold rush brought them to the region. Failing in efforts to strike it rich in gold, these men turned toward harvesting the giant trees for booming development in San Francisco and other places on the West Coast.

After many decades of unobstructed clear-cut logging, serious efforts toward conservation began. By the 1920s the work of the Save-the-Redwoods League, founded in 1918 to preserve remaining old-growth redwoods, resulted in the establishment of Prairie Creek, Del Norte Coast, and Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Parks among others. Redwood National Park was created in 1968, by which time nearly 90% of the original redwood trees had been logged. The National Park Service (NPS) and the California Department of Parks and Recreation (CDPR) administratively combined Redwood National Park with the three abutting Redwood State Parks in 1994 for the purpose of cooperative forest management and stabilization of forests and watersheds as a single unit.

Vatican Hiding Truth About Missing Girl Say Prosecutors

Vatican Hiding Truth About Missing Girl Say Prosecutors - The Vatican has been accused of hiding the truth about one of Italy's most intractable mysteries - the disappearance of a teenage girl nearly 30 years ago. Prosecutors in Rome say that "someone in the Vatican" knows the fate of Emanuela Orlandi, the 15-year-old daughter of a Vatican employee who vanished in June 1983.


Her kidnap in Rome by unidentified men has been the subject of scrutiny for three decades, with allegations that it was connected to blackmail and banking scandals involving the Holy See.

One theory is that the girl's father, a Vatican employee, had stumbled on documents that connected the Vatican's bank with organised crime in Rome and that she was seized in an attempt to silence him. The alleged mastermind of the kidnapping was Enrico "Renatino" De Pedis, the leader of the Magliana gang, Rome's most ruthless criminal band.

He was shot dead by rival gangsters in a street in central Rome in 1990 and his body interred in a crypt in the Basilica of Sant' Apollinare.

It has always been seen as highly unusual that a known mafioso should have been given the honour of being buried in a church in which popes and cardinals are interred.

There has been speculation that Orlandi was murdered and her remains hidden in the tomb alongside De Pedis.

Prosecutors in Rome have for the first time explicitly pointed the finger at the Vatican, saying that senior cardinals are covering up the truth.

Giancarlo Capaldo, a senior prosecutor who is investigating the case, said he had found evidence that serving members of the Curia - the Vatican's governing body - knew much more than they were saying about Emanuela's disappearance.

"There are people still alive, and still inside the Vatican, who know the truth," the prosecutor was quoted as saying by Corriere della Sera.

Pietro Orlandi, Miss Orlandi's brother, seized on the remarks, saying it was time for the Vatican to come clean and calling on investigators to open the tomb of De Pedis to establish whether it contained his sister's remains. "The Holy See now has a moral duty to give a response after refusing for years to collaborate with the magistracy," he said. "Their silence is becoming embarrassing."

The Vatican insists that it has divulged all it knew about the case. "If someone on the inside had known something, they would have said," said Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, 78, who was number three in the Vatican Secretariat of State at the time. "We were all interested in clarifying the matter, but unfortunately we were not able to find out anything about it."

Over the years it has been claimed that Emanuela's kidnapping was carried out on the orders of a Catholic archbishop, Paul Marcinkus, the disgraced head of the Vatican bank, the Istituto per le Opere di Religione. The IOR was involved in the bankruptcy of Italy's largest private bank, the Banco Ambrosiano, in 1982.
Its president, Roberto Calvi, nicknamed "God's Banker", was found hanged beneath Blackfriars Bridge in London, with investigators unable to rule whether he had committed suicide or was murdered, possibly by the Mafia.

The Vatican has denied that Archbishop Marcinkus, who died in 2006, had anything to do with the teenager's disappearance.
