<b>By The Associated Press</b><br />
Authorities say a toddler has been reunited with his mother after employees found him playing inside a claw crane machine at a Nebraska bowling alley.<br />
<br />
Lincoln police say a 24-year-old woman called 911 Monday afternoon because her 3-year-old son was missing from her apartment.<br />
<br />
Employees at the bowling alley across the street meanwhile called police to say a small boy was playing with stuffed animals inside the coin-operated machine.<br />
<br />
It was unclear how the boy ended up inside the claw crane machine. A representative from the vending machine company let him out and he was reunited with his mother a short time later. He was not hurt.<br />
<br />
Police say the mother was not cited because she quickly reported that her son was missing and there were no indications of neglect.</div>

</tbody></table>
Green sea turtles remain a rare sight in many parts of the world, but one Indonesian island tasked with protecting them is being overrun by far too many.<br />
<br />
New research suggests that the gentle endangered creatures are crowding into a marine reserve in numbers never recorded anywhere, gobbling seagrass to the point that they risk destroying the food source that’s vital to their survival.<br />
<br />
Up to 20 turtles were spotted in an area covering about two U.S. football fields (one hectare) at Derawan Island off Indonesia’s part of Borneo in 2011. That means snorkelers are almost guaranteed to see a turtle every moment they’re in the water. The rate was four times higher than non-protected areas elsewhere and also topped historic numbers reported before the reptile was hunted by humans.<br />
<br />
The graceful creatures with heart-shaped shells usually just munch on seagrass much like cows grazing in a field. But the increasing population has pushed them to desperation: With no top leaves left, they now claw at the plants with their flippers and use their mouths to violently rip the seagrass out by the roots, leaving patches of white sandy ocean floor. Such behavior has not been seen elsewhere, according to findings published last week in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.<br />
<br />
They are “creating sort of piles of mud in the seagrass bed where they’ve eaten the underlying root matter, and it can take a hell of a long time for that to come back,” said co-author Peter Mumby, a marine ecologist at the University of Queensland in Australia. “So essentially, they’re going to eat themselves out of house and home.”<br />
<br />
Using modeling, the research team, led from 2008 to 2011 by Marjolijn Christianen of Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands, found that nearly all turtles would need to be removed from the area in order for the seagrass to recover. If they are not stopped, the beds could be destroyed within the next five to 10 years, the study suggests.<br />
<br />
Mumby said a short-term solution may be to try to relocate the turtles to less populated reserves, but he added that larger conservation issues must be addressed by the government. Pesticide, fertilizer and sediment runoff from nearby mining and agriculture operations, including rapidly expanded palm oil plantations, are smothering seagrass beds in areas outside the decade-old reserve. The turtles are also congregating in the protected area for safety because they are being poached outside. The heavy hunting of sharks, a major turtle predator, could be another factor contributing to the rising numbers.<br />
<br />
Many of the turtles feeding off Derawan do not nest there and instead come from outside areas including Malaysia and the Philippines, said Windia Adnyana, a turtle expert from Udayana University in Bali who has worked for years in the marine reserve. And while there are more turtles coming to eat, he said the number nesting on the island continues to decline with an estimated 10,000 turtles returning to the beach where they were born every year.<br />
<br />
“It’s alarming in a place like Derawan,” he said. “Protecting the species alone is not enough. There has to be consideration about the capacity of the food itself, the seagrass.”<br />
<br />
Seagrass is part of an important ecosystem, providing food, shelter and nurseries for different types of fish, mammals and invertebrates. It helps maintain the health of coral reefs, mangroves and marshes, while also preventing erosion and keeping water clear by trapping sediment coming from land.<br />
<br />
A 2011 global survey found that 14 percent of all seagrass species are at risk of going extinct, largely due to pollution, coastal development, deforestation, sedimentation, sewage runoff and dredging.<br />

The Houston Rockets decided to pull a <a href="http://www.chicoer.com/ci_23868967/michigan-state-football-prank-video">Michigan State</a> and scare their players half to death with a seemingly fake object that would come to life. An inflatable version of Houston’s mascot, Clutch, stood guard outside practice when the players arrived at 9 a.m.<br />
<br />
A few hours later, Clutch, with a human now inside, spooked most of the players.<br />

<br />
Now, 31 years and roughly 11,000 games later, Thomasson, of Buffalo, N.Y., is the newly crowned world record holder for having the largest collection of video games. He is featured in a two-page spread in the just-released “Guinness World Records 2014 Gamer’s Edition.”<br />
<br />
Along with the games, he has the devices to play them on — not only the Xboxes and PlayStations but obscure ones like 1995′s Casio Loopy, the only game system specifically geared toward girls, and the Pippin, a dud released by Apple the same year.<br />

</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
“Every game on it is awful,” Thomasson says of Apple’s foray into the gaming world.<br />
<br />
At the other end of the spectrum is the old Colecovision unit like the one that appeared under the Christmas tree one year after his grandparents gave him his first game for it. They had mistakenly believed his parents had gotten their hands on the playing system, which was a hot item that year. It stands to this day as the best present his parents ever gave him.<br />
<br />
“It’s my first love so it’s sentimental,” Thomasson said. But the games also were quality, with very little of the “shovelware” — mediocre, rushed releases — typical of many systems, he said.<br />
<br />
“They looked good, they played good. For the time they sounded good,” he said, “for the bleeps and blips of the 80s.”<br />
<br />
Thomasson began collecting almost immediately, he said, but the path to the world record had a couple of restarts. He sold off his collection twice, first in 1989 to raise money for a Sega Genesis, then again to pay for his 1998 wedding.<br />
<br />
Since then, Thomasson has methodically rebuilt the collection, averaging two games per day on a strict $3,000-a-year budget which means never paying full price.<br />
<br />
He estimates the collection is worth $700,000 to $800,000.<br />
<br />
He hasn’t played every game. The father of a 5-year-old, Anna, Thomasson designs games and teaches 2D animation, game design and the history of video games at Canisius College in Buffalo.<br />
<br />
“I probably get three hours of playing in a week,” he said. “If I’m lucky.”<br />
<br />
Guinness lists the number of games in Thomasson’s record-breaking collection at 10,607, though he said the number exceeds 11,000 now, a year after the official count and after discovering forgotten stashes of games after the counting crew left.<br />
<br />
Either way, it bested the previous record holder, Richard Lecce, who held the record first recorded in 2010 with 8,616 games.<br />
<br />
Still an active collector, Lecce hasn’t counted his games in the last few years and doesn’t know what his number has grown to, but he has no immediate plans to challenge Thomasson for his old record. He’s happy to see more people collecting, and appreciating, video games.<br />
<br />
“Everything from the original artwork to the actual code that was written for the games to the actual box art and the whole marketing plan,” he said. “It’s just a very undervalued and underappreciated art form.”Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1434033422112211298.post-79770496367497216832013-12-16T11:30:00.002-08:002013-12-16T11:30:55.000-08:00Mystery man gives ‘Tips For Jesus’ up to $10,000By Verena Dobnik<br />
