EL SALVADOR GANGS14 August 2012San Salvador, El SalvadorAn anti-gang police unit searches for gang members. Many in El Salvador remain skeptical that the truce will stick, noting that young men in poor neighborhoods lack alternatives and there is no easy way to lure them off the streets.They had faced off many times before, on the streets, with guns in their hands. But when top leaders of two of the hemispheres most violent street gangs sat across from one another in the stifling air of a maximum security prison, the encounter had a very different aim: peace. With a military chaplain and a former lawmaker officiating, the imprisoned gang leaders held a moment of silence for the thousands of people their street armies had killed. After a few more meetings and the governments concession to transfer 30 of the leaders to less-restrictive conditions they shook hands on a pact to put an end to the killings. The truce endures in El Salvador, long one of the most violent countries in the Americas. With 30,000 to 50,000 members and weaponry that includes assault-style rifles and grenades, the two gangs are virtual armies that have the power to affect the security of the entire region and they have used it to terrorize populations still weary from years of civil war and instability.

PACIFIED FAVELA25 May 2012The favelas in Rio de Janeiro, slums where drugs and guns are a daily reality, are often separated by only one street from the richest and most exclusive areas of the city. With the World Cup coming to Rio in 2014, and the Olympics in 2016, politicians are trying to clean up and pacify the favelas. New roads are being built, children play, and mothers take their children to school. Yet there remains an abundance of drugs and alcohol, conflicts between locals and the pacification police, and people who wish things would return to the way they used to be. What will happen when the big events have passed?

EMPEROR PENGUINS19 November 2011Ross Sea, AntarcticaNew science shows that Emperor Penguins are capable of tripling their swimming speed by releasing millions of bubbles from their feathers. These bubbles reduce the friction between their feathers and the icy seawater, allowing them to accelerate in the water. They use speeds of up to 30 kilometers per hour to avoid leopard seals and to launch themselves up onto the ice.

WHALE SHARKS28 August 2008Hanifaru Bay Marine Reserve, MaldivesA whale shark breaks the surface while waiting for a tidal delivery of plankton into a large cul-de-sac in the coral reef. Once the waters turn from clear turquoise blue to cloudy green, this shark and others in the area will alternate between ram and suction feeding, to hoover and filter their planktonic food from the water column.Whale sharks have roamed the oceans for 60 million years, yet we know little about their reproduction, social behavior, and migrations. The species was extensively hunted, but today protective legislation is in place in much of the whale shark's global range.
