Photographer may be key to saving the wild horses of Tonto National Forest [video]

If the key to saving the herd of wild horses in Arizona’s Tonto National Forest is awareness, Becky Standridge is turning out to be their angel of mercy.

It’s easy to live in Phoenix, the metropolitan area which borders the park, and never know of their existence, so it shouldn’t be surprising that forest officials themselves are now relying on the collection of an amateur photographer to keep track of these Wild West relics.

Officials discovered Standridge’s vital collection when she went to a ranger station to identify the horse that had been hit by a car, never considering they wouldn’t know.

"I wanted to keep it on my log who was now missing because you can't see every horse every day", Standridge explained.

But when the Range Wildlife Manger asked what Becky had been up to she learned that no one had ever catalogued the horses. In fact, there had been a long debate over how to manage the herd. Becky's hobby was like an answer falling from the sky. An answer that may save many of these horses.

Dog
Kilo the pit bull took a bullet for his owner, joining a long line of pooches who've risked their lives for the sake of their human pals

Dog lovers like to point out that their four-legged friends are the most loyal companions a person could ever need. That loyalty can sometimes mean the difference between life and death, like in the instance of Staten Island, N.Y., pit bull Kilo, who recently put his own life on the line to save his owner from an armed attacker. Kilo isn't the first canine companion to save his owner from danger. Here, a list of eight dogs that earned extra doggie treats the hard way:

The movements that underlie many social dances arise from early African American social history and continue with today’s dance fads.

  • Use big, beautiful pictures. Optimize your Pinterest experience by making sure the source pictures on your blog shop are big and beautiful. Big pictures allows you to leverage Pinterest to the maximum.

  • Employ hashtags. As with Twitter, Pinterest allows users to organize their collections with hashtags. Using hashtags like #bluedresses, #chiffondresses, or #funnytshirts allows people to find your product more easily. It also allows you to more easily integrate your Pinterest posts with other social platforms on Twitter—whether you're sharing them or one of your fans is sharing them.

How OMGPOP's CEO earned his "World's Greatest Boss" coffee mug

In the last few years we’ve been bombarded with stories showing the brutal side of work, of losing jobs or missing breaks, of a few profiting while everyone else plummets, but his story is the exception that might just get you out of bed to face another day.

Before OMGPOP’s Draw Something caught fire, the horizon looked exceptionally bleak, and that meant laying off flash developers to buy a few months of breathing room before throwing in the towel. Even in their darkest hour, the company was still trying to find their former employees new jobs when their ship came in.

In only six weeks, 35 million people downloaded Draw Something and when a deal appeared to be in the works with Zynga, CEO Dan Porter did something that only seems to happen in the movies; he hired back the laid-off workers so they could share in the company’s good fortune.

According to a first-hand source:

He was literally negotiating the deal and jamming the re-hires back into payroll to make sure they were covered with hours remaining in the close. Their options kept vesting and they benefitted from the sale.

Well done, sir, well done.

Well played.
