Planet in Peril: Battle Lines, Starring Anderson Cooper, Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Lisa Ling

"Planet in Peril: Battle Lines” takes viewers on a journey around the world to places where natural resources are caught in the crossfire of conflict. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta and “The Oprah Winfrey Show” correspondent and National Geographic Channel host Lisa Ling travel to the front lines to investigate the battles being waged over oil, animals and food.

Cooper and Gupta travel to Cameroon and the Democratic Republic of Congo, where dwindling food supplies push people farther into the jungle, exposing them to mysterious and deadly diseases that scientists think could lead to the next pandemic. Ling heads to the Niger Delta, where the thirst for oil has sparked a deadly battle in Nigeria. In addition, Gupta investigates a company based in Peru that residents and health officials have accused of emitting poisonous gases into the community, and Ling reports on why one of the last remaining pockets of African elephants in Central Africa is under threat.

ASP.NET Christmas E-Card by Chris Garreth

One facility that most websites need is a function that provides some exposure to bring in more visitors. A fun way of doing this, especially around the holiday season, is to create a festive electronic postcard system so that site visitors can send each other greetings (branded according to your site, of course). Your visitors get to have fun creating, customizing, personalizing, and sending their e-cards; and you get lots of extra visitors through word of mouth. Those e-card recipients then go on to reply to the e-card or send their own messages to new people, creating a viral effect. This is great advertising with not a penny spent on banner ads!

In this article, Chris Garrett will demonstrate--using ASP.NET and the System.Drawing namespace--how you can create and customize a graphical greetings card. Then you will go on to send this card to email recipients with an HTML email message. The message will contain a link to allow the recipient to come back to your site and send a reply, or create a new message of their own. MORE
