Sri Lankan monk is condemned to death for murder A Buddhist monk in Sri Lanka has been sentenced to death - the first monk in 50 years to receive such a sentence in the country. Gomadiye Sarana, 37, was convicted for a murder committed before he was ordained into the clergy. His fate is unclear, however, as no death sentence has been carried out for more than three decades in Sri Lanka. Sarana and an accomplice were found guilty of murdering a man 12 years ago by a court in the south of the country. The crime appeared to be linked to a dispute over an affair the monk had with the murder victim's sister. http://www.bbc.co.uk...d-asia-17133192

Surviving a Recession — And a Wildfire Forests have experienced fires for millions of years; yet for at least the last hundred years, fire departments in wooded areas have suppressed fires as quickly as possible. With ever-increasing efficiency they've succeeded in removing fire from its traditional role in a natural forest eco-system.

Fires play an essential role in burning away the old understory and regenerating the forest. If dead branche…
