Let's get the downsides out of the way first. Insurance is beyond outrageous! I could only find one company in the entire country to insure me on the thing (I wrote off my GSX-R750 and some thieving scumbag stole my R1, so bang went my no claims). Other not quite so wonderful things are the FOBBs experienced after running it ...

Hospital Dogs
Find out about a project that brings dogs into hospitals and nursing homes, to cheer up patients and residents.
SIMON ROYAL: The dog squad is on the move but these hounds aren't sniffing out drugs or bombs, their mission is to seek people who need unconditional love and then deliver it.
FEMALE: Hello Alan, here is Jessie. Are you going to say hello today, Jess?
SIMON ROYAL: Today Jessie the cocker spaniel and her owner Elaine Penberthy are visiting Alan Gardner in Daw house Hospice.
ALAN GARDNER: There is just something about her personality. She is bursting with personality and charm, as you can see. She is just a loveable character.
SIMON ROYAL: The hospice has been Alan Gardner's home for three months. Coincidentally he arrived here at the same time the pet partners team started their visits. Alan Gardner has cancer, what he prizes most is some independence.
ALAN GARDNER: Very important, very important. And that's where these creatures come along and make it more easy for you to tolerate. You accept this more easily. You don't hear her complain, that's what sort of makes it so good to have them.
SIMON ROYAL: 27 dogs and their owners form the team. They go to hospitals and nursing homes throughout the State.
FEMALE: Did you come to see Maureen?
SIMON ROYAL: But Daw House is the only hospice they visit. The Daw House dogs are screened against diseases which might be passed on to humans such as salmonella. But before they set a paw in here they must first pass a far tougher test.
ALEXIS DAVISON (CO ORDINATOR PET PARTNERS): We have a range of volunteers who quite enjoy actually dressing up in different costumes using things like walking frames and wheelchairs, being very loud and obnoxious to the dogs basically and we see if the dogs cope with that and they are still wagging their tails and enjoying the attention, then basically those dogs are the ones that we look for.
SIMON ROYAL: Do they always behave themselves, have you ever seen the dog disgrace itself?
ALAN GARDNER: No, actually no, they behave better than some humans I think.
PROF. DAVID CURROW (DAW HOUSE HOSPICE): There is no doubt that dogs in our program have been a wonderful tool for people to open up and discuss things than otherwise they may not discuss. When you talk to a golden retriever you can be confident that you will be loved just as you are and you can say whatever you need to and it will be safe to do so and we can't underestimate how important those opportunities are as people's lives are drawing to a close.
SIMON ROYAL: But what of the impact of dying on the dogs? In the late 1980s Bobo the poodle pioneered Pets as Therapy.
He moved into the hospice as a full time resident. But the love and loyalty that made Bobo such a wonderful companion also left him vulnerable. He simply couldn't cope with the constant loss.
DAVID ROACH (FORMER DAW HOUSE SOCIAL WORKER): It was very hard for Bobo to make that adjustment and that's when we discovered that those losses were significant for him.
What we didn't sort of plan for was just how much attention we needed to pay to his emotional wellbeing and so that's why we decided in the end rather than leaving him to live permanently in the hospice which he did for about two and a half years, he spent his whole days and nights there, that he would actually live, you know, apart and with somebody and we were people that he ended up living with.
SIMON ROYAL: Bobo's association with Daw House continued though. For 10 years he went to work with David Roach and went home at night and once again Daw House is Bobo's permanent home
Bobo's experience paved the way for the new program which began in December and both residents and dogs are happy.
ALAN GARDNER: You can't explain the amount of wonderful work that these volunteers do in so many capacities. It is really, they are just marvellous.

Some schools fan bases have a tradition of sticking it out until the end, no matter what. I would have bet money that the Arkansas fan base was one of those, until this game. It wasn't the fact there were 3 to 5% (yep, that's about what it was) of the seats filled at the end of the game, it was that the mass migration out of the stadium began at half time. Half-time. By the middle of the third quarter, less than half of the fans were still there. That's astounding, in the third quarter, less than HALF. No doubt the issue was decided by then, but you're on the sidelines as a player, and you can not only see the stands empty, you can feel the stands empty, hear the fans breaking camp and BS'ing on the way out.
Emotion is part of the game. Much harder for the players to get back on the field, and I mean MUCH harder, when that is happening. It was just a wierd sight at an SEC game.

Fletcher, Quinn E.

Authors: Fletcher, Quinn E.; Boonstra, Rudy Abstract: In physiological research on natural populations, it is essential to understand the impact of capture-induced stress because of its numerous effects on many physiological processes. Our objective was to determine the extent to which the stress levels of meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus) were affected by short-term responses to live-trapping and how these were influenced by the amount of time spent in live-traps. Baseline levels were obtained from a snap-trapped sample and stress levels were determined from voles that had spent variable amounts of time in live-traps (up to 16.5 h). Stress levels were inferred from corticosterone and glucose concentrations and hematocrit levels. In the live-trapped sample, corticosterone concentrations reflect only the stress of trap confinement whereas glucose concentrations and hematocrit reflect both the effects of trap confinement and handling. Live-trapping caused corticosterone concentrations to increase by 108% (from 390.3 ng/mL to 810.6 ng/mL), glucose concentrations to increase by 58% (from 55.4 mg/dL to 87.4 mg/dL), and hematocrit levels to increase by 10% (from 49% to 54%) from baseline levels. The length of time a vole spent in a live-trap did not affect corticosterone and glucose concentrations; however, hematocrit levels increased slightly over time (0.21%/h). We conclude that live-trapping induced a stress response in voles, but that longer times in traps did not increase the stress levels. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z Do captive male meadow voles experience acute stress in response to weasel odour? Fletcher, Quinn E. Boonstra, Rudy http://hdl.handle.net/1807/9550 2010-02-08T16:05:58Z 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Do captive male meadow voles experience acute stress in response to weasel odour? Authors: Fletcher, Quinn E.; Boonstra, Rudy Abstract: The hormonal stress response is adapted to deal with acute (short-term) stressors; however, chronic (long-term) stressors have negative effects on survival and fitness. Field and laboratory evidence suggests that voles respond behaviourally to predator odours. However, it is unknown whether voles mount an acute hormonal stress response to predator odour. We determined if reproductively active, captive male meadow voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus Ord, 1815) mounted a more pronounced hormonal stress response to weasel odour (ermine; Mustela erminea L., 1758), one of their principal mammalian predators, relative to their response to nonpredator and control odours. We compared the corticosterone response of captive voles to weasel, jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius Zimmermann, 1780), and control odours following acute (20 min) exposure. The hormonal stress response to the treatment odours did not differ indicating that captive male voles in the reproductive season do not mount an acute stress response to predator odour. We hypothesize that voles do not respond to weasel odour because, independent of other stimuli, olfactory signals are not reliable enough to outweigh the costs, such as suppression of reproduction and of reproductive behaviour, associated with a response. 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z Population limitation of the northern red-backed vole in the boreal forests of northern Canada. Boonstra, Rudy Krebs, Charles J. http://hdl.handle.net/1807/9549 2007-06-22T12:22:59Z 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Population limitation of the northern red-backed vole in the boreal forests of northern Canada. Authors: Boonstra, Rudy; Krebs, Charles J. Abstract: 1. Across the vast boreal forests of North America, no population cycles in Clethrionomys species occur. In Eurasia, by contrast, some Clethrionomys populations of the same species undergo regular 3-5 year cycles. We examined the effects of nutrients, food, competitors, predators, and climate on population limitation in the northern red-backed vole (Clethrionomys rutilus Pallas) in the southwestern Yukon to determine why this difference occurs. 2. From 1986-96 we added food, reduced large mammal predators, and excluded snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus Erxleben) from large plots and found that none of these manipulations affected red-backed vole abundance. Adding nutrients as NPK fertilizer had a slight negative effect, probably acting through a reduction in dwarf shrub productivity caused by competition from grasses. 3. We monitored weasel populations directly through trapping and indirectly through snow tracking. Predation by these vole specialists was irrelevant as a limiting factor most of the time because voles in this area do not reach densities needed to sustain weasel populations. Other boreal forest mammal and bird predators did not focus on red-backed voles. However, when red-backed vole populations increased in the forest and Microtus voles also increased in the meadows, weasel populations increased and may have temporarily depressed red-backed voles in winter. 4. We monitored one major potential food, white spruce seeds, but seed fall was not related to population changes in red-backed voles, even after mast years. 5. We assessed the impact of weather variables, and the average depth of the snow pack during winter (October-March) was directly correlated with vole demography, having both direct effects in that year and delayed effects in the following year. 6. Our long-term trapping data (1973-1996) indicate that Clethrionomys populations fluctuated, with peaks follow hare peaks by 2-3 years. 7. We propose that the key variable limiting these vole populations is overwinter survival and this is a function of overwinter food from berries produced during the previous summer by dwarf shrubs. These shrubs may be stimulated by abundant moisture from winter snows or by periodic fertilization from large quantities of pellets produced at snowshoe hare peaks. 2007-01-01T00:00:00Z Populations cycles in microtines: the senescence hypothesis Boonstra, Rudy http://hdl.handle.net/1807/4405 2006-01-24T07:10:18Z 1994-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Populations cycles in microtines: the senescence hypothesis Authors: Boonstra, Rudy Abstract: The cause of population cycles in microtines (voles and lemmings) remains an enigma. I propose a new solution to this problem based on a crucial feature of microtine biology, shifts in age structure, that has been ignored until now. Empirical evidence indicates that age structure must shift markedly toward older animals during declines because of three characteristics of the previous peak year: a shortened breeding season, total replacement of the breeding population from peak to decline, and density-dependent social inhibition of maturation of young. Declines become inevitable as populations composed of older animals survive and reproduce poorly because of the effects of senescence, possibly interacting with the experiences of peak density, and I present both theoretical and empirical evidence for this hypothesis. Though a variety of physiological systems deteriorate with aging, I focus on a crucial one - the inability of older animals to effectively maintain homeostasis in the face of environmental challenges because of a progressive deterioration in the endocrine feedback mechanisms involved in the hippocampal-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Microtine populations will not exhibit cycles where age structure shifts are prevented owing to extrinsic factors such as intense predation. Five testable predictions are made that can falsify this hypothesis. 1994-01-01T00:00:00Z

Goldie Says: I'm publishing another Live Scouting Blog for tonight's duel between Dubnyk and Reimer. These are way fun and allow me to post full-length thoughts without tweeting a million times a night. Game starts at 7p EST!
Fan Duel - if you won money, chances are it's in your account there. Go to Fan Duel and login.
My mistake - I could have sworn Snyder told me that the baseball Fantasy Guide was being released on the 11th. NOPE. The DobberBaseball Fantasy Guide is OUT TODAY. As with the hockey one, it's updated right up until the season.
Scott Gomez's ice time was down to 10:28 today as he slowly Jonathan Cheechoos his way out of the NHL…
The ice time was his lowest all season, other than the game he left in October due to injury. He had a great career early on, but I think Alexander Mogilny made him a better player than he actually was, and injuries took care of the rest. Similar reasons as Cheechoo.
I know Andrei Kostitsyn has said that he wants to stay in Montreal, but I think they'll move him. Just a hunch, I normally don't speak to trade rumors (or start them), but a new environment would do him a world of good, like brother Sergei. He's better than this. But I think you'll notice in the coming months that the Rene Bourques will start being brought in and the Andrei Kostitsyns will start getting shipped out. Finally addressing that sandpaper issue that fans pretty much identified eight years ago.
The team will be built around Cole, Bourque, Subban, Pacioretty, Eller – size and/or gritty skill. David Desharnais as well, because he over achieves, which is almost the same category. And of course Emelin. But I can see lots of changes outside of those players.
The snakebitten Artem Anisimov scored a goal and added two assists, ending his pointless drought at 17 games.
Scott Hartnell had a rare off-game, going minus-4 yesterday. Impressive to see that Matt Read was even, despite playing nearly 19 minutes. Man I like that player, I feel very comfortable that he'll be at least a 45-point player for years to come, but has the upside for 70 or more. It would depend on how they play him, but as long as he consistently can be counted on in all situations (4:34 SH ice time, 2:26 PP ice time) it would seem that he is money.
Tom Sestito – 25 minutes in penalties yesterday. Seven shifts. Too bad you can't count on him to dress for every game.
The Fan Duel contest Saturday had me finish 74th. That means 73 of you win five bucks, courtesy of Fan Duel. I went heavy on Oilers because they were playing Ty Conklin, heavy on Sharks because I own Mike Smith and he's been weak lately (bad strategy I know, but I figure if he does great it helps me in my leagues and if he does poorly then it helps me in Fan Duel). My downfall was on defense going cheap with Cam Barker and trusting my SJ instinct on Dan Boyle. I also chose Bryzgalov as the goalie and he didn't even start! That was announced close to the start of the game. Keep an eye out for more of these contest as we'll try to run one every month both here and at DobberBaseball.
Speaking of DobberBaseball, the Fantasy Baseball Guide is out this Saturday.
I thought that Cal O'Reilly played very well in Pittsburgh debut, showing some of the old chemistry with Steve Sullivan. Then yesterday he picked up an assist on the second PP unit. It was interesting to see that when they pulled the goalie, O'Reilly was the player who jumped over the boards. It looks like Dustin Jeffrey is being trained to be a checker. They've tried him on wing, but he's out of place there. So checker it is. Meanwhile, with Jordan Staal back soon I have to wonder where O'Reilly fits in.
Ilya Kovalchuk has 60 shots on goal and 20 points in his last 13 games.
Steve Bernier now has points in back to back games and is playing with Zach Parise at times (though primarily with Henrique and Ponikarovsky). He bears watching. I have to keep reminding myself that he's only 26.
Yes, Henrique returned to the lineup and played over 15 minutes, but was pointless.
David Clarkson is on a four-game points streak and has seven points in that span. He's up to 20 goals and 88 PIM, making 30 and 150 a possibility. But if he gets one, I doubt he'll get the other – during his points streak he has just two PIM.
James Neal and Evgeni Malkin – combined minus-14 the last four games.
Alex Ovechkin has been back for two games now – over 42 minutes of action. He's pointless and minus-2. Unfortunately, at this point, a good poll question would be: Does Ovechkin top 65 points? Keeper leagues note – this is a great 'buy low' situation. Ovechkin is a superstar with skills that surpass all but two players in the NHL. He will bounce back and shoot past 100 points again. Next year? The year after? One of them. But it will happen. He's too good.
Brooks Laich left the game midway through and was later seen on crutches. The word is that he's out at least a week, but we shall see.
I acquired Wojtek Wolski as a throw-in on the weekend. If he gets traded, I'll look like a genius. If he doesn't, then he gets dropped at the draft. But the guy is only 25. He has consistency issues and he's soft for a big man. But he has shown that when motivated he can give you a good season.
I was surprised to see Stefan Elliott get sent down by the Avalanche and Tyson Barrie recalled. But Barrie deserves it, as he's been tearing up the AHL while Elliott has hit a bit of a slump. I had just thought Elliott was an NHLer for good. Next time though, mark it. Both players 'should' be stars in this league very soon.
Sean Bergenheim has four points in his last three games. Seeing 17 minutes a game these days. If you remember, he had nine goals in 16 playoff games last spring. I think he's a potential 25-goal, 45-point player. His career highs are 15 and 29 and he's on pace this year for 18 and 22.
James Reimer getting back-to-back shutouts is huge, even if he wasn't busy the in the first one. The second one, 49 saves, was spectacular. Imagine what that does for the confidence. If the Leafs have "that" Reimer back, then they are a lock for the playoffs. Easy. And if "that" Reimer really is back, you can probably count on a second round out of them too. But it's too early to tell for sure, and they are playing the hot Edmonton Oilers next, and two games after that they play the high-octane offense of the Flyers. In fact, give Gustavsson the Oiler game and Reimer the "layup" against the Jets Tuesday. The Jets have scored just one goal in their last two games and three goals in their last 10 periods. My two cents.
Nathan Horton (concussion) was scheduled to skate yesterday for the first time since getting injured.

County Administrator Steve Swafford told the County Commission at its meeting on Monday that he and Sheriff Joe Jacks have decided to test the Oak Grove tower to see if it would work for the county's emergency communications.
The county has been having trouble with interference with signals from the tower on Turkey Heaven Mountain that the Sheriff's Department, the school system and the fire departments use now. The deputies have been carrying mobile phones as a backup because they can lose contact with dispatch in some areas, the sheriff has said.
After months of investigation, it's still not clear exactly where the interference is coming from other than the metro Atlanta area, said County Administrator Steve Swafford. The location of the interference appears to change depending on the atmospheric conditions, he said.
The Oak Grove tower is currently used by the Cleburne County Emergency Medical Service and the county's public works department. It also has a fire department repeater on it, Swafford said.
"People have always believed that the Turkey Heaven tower was the superior location because of its altitude," Swafford said.
But with the Oak Grove tower there may be less possibility of interference, Swafford said.
"It's a lower altitude," Swafford said. "It's more centrally located. It's more shielded toward the east."
The tests should begin sometime this month, Swafford said. Any costs associated with the tests would be paid out of the budget of the Sheriff's Department, Swafford said. The tests should take about a month, he added.
If it works, the county will petition the Federal Communications Commission to change its current license from the Turkey Heaven tower to the Oak Grove tower.
In other business the commissioners:
— Heard from representatives from the Cleburne County Foster and Adoptive Parent Association that the association is having difficulty getting any money for utilities from its fellow tenant at the old water authority building on Brockford Street. Celebrate Recovery, an addiction recovery service, has recently started using the building with permission from the Commission. The commissioners asked that the director of Celebrate Recovery attend their next meeting on June 24.
— Heard from Revenue Tax Commissioner Joyce Fuller that the assessment clerk in her office has announced her retirement. Fuller asked for permission to hire a new assessment clerk.
— Heard from Swafford that the county will receive a three-year, $300,000 grant to begin a program to prevent and clean up illegal tire dumps in the county.
— Heard from Melissia Wood, the county finance director, that she would be leaving for another opportunity. Wood, who has been with Cleburne County for nearly 10 years, will be leaving as of June 28.
