ST. PETERSBURG, FL, May 09, 2011 (Press-News.org) In 1988 with the St. Petersburg Pier reemerging from a two year $12 million rennovation, owners Fred and Merle Snook of The Hide Out were first in line to sign up for a retail home in this magnificent downtown destination. With unique leather products and a recovering retail economy they were quick to expand to International Drive in Orlando and world famous John's Pass Village on the Gulf of Mexico.
Bringing a wide variety of leathers such as alligator, eelskin, stingray, lizard and an extensive
array of snakeskin fashion accessories made them one of Florida's best known leather retailers for almost 25 years.
Approaching retirement age but not waniting to abandon the business they loved, Fred and Merle made the difficult choice to close the retail locations and join the 21st century on the world wide web. Now their long time customers still get the personal service and unique leather products that made them a star attraction in central Florida for those many years.
With less time needed managing locations, Fred and Merle now spend more time developing and producing new, exclusive leather accessories proudly made in the USA.
A bold transition from the twentieth to the twenty first century in the retail industry is key to surviving and The Hide Out is making that move smoothly.

They are our neighbors; Tim and Kim Bradfield of Phoenix, Jason and Jennifer Harris of West Phoenix, Tom and Jodi Giallanza of Buckeye, Dave and Amy Littler of Gilbert, Byron and Perez Nash of Mesa, Tom and Leslie Schultz, just to name a few. And their stories are far too commonplace. Due to the slowing economy salaries were reduced or jobs lost, or there were unforeseen medical bills that had to be paid.
These families could no longer afford to make their mortgage payment and could not sell their house because with dropping real estate values they were upside-down in ...

Sexual orientation affects cancer survivorship
2011-05-10
Gay men have a higher prevalence of cancer compared with heterosexual men, and lesbian and bisexual female cancer survivors report lower levels of health than heterosexual female cancer survivors. Those are the conclusions of a new study published early online in Cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society. The study's findings shed light on the types of programs and services that are needed to assist lesbian, gay, and bisexual cancer survivors.
Cancer surveillance studies don't ask questions about sexual orientation, which means there is scarce information ...
Methane levels 17 times higher in water wells near hydrofracking sites
2011-05-10
DURHAM, N.C. – A study by Duke University researchers has found high levels of leaked methane in well water collected near shale-gas drilling and hydrofracking sites. The scientists collected and analyzed water samples from 68 private groundwater wells across five counties in northeastern Pennsylvania and New York.
"At least some of the homeowners who claim that their wells were contaminated by shale-gas extraction appear to be right," says Robert B. Jackson, Nicholas Professor of Global Environmental Change and director of Duke's Center on Global Change.

Immature skull led young tyrannosaurs to rely on speed, agility to catch prey
2011-05-10
ATHENS, Ohio (May 9, 2011)—While adult tyrannosaurs wielded power and size to kill large prey, youngsters used agility to hunt smaller game.
"It's one of the secrets of success for tyrannosaurs—the different age groups weren't competing with each other for food because their diets shifted as they grew," said Ohio University paleontologist Lawrence Witmer.
Witmer is part of an international team of scientists from Japan, Mongolia and the United States that analyzed the youngest and most-complete known skull for any species of tyrannosaur, offering a new view of the ...
