The Lievens (Latvian Līveni; Swedish Liewen) are one of the oldest aristocratic families of Baltic Germans. Caupo's grandson, Nicholas, was the first to spell his name Lieven.
They claim descent from Caupo of Turaida (Latvian, Kaupo), the Livonian quasi rex who converted to Christianity in 1186, when Bishop Meinhard attempted to Christianize the region. Henrici Chronicon Lyvoniae tells that Caupo in winter 1203-1204 went to Rome with Theodoric, a Cistercian Monk (who was to become the founder of the Livonian Brothers of the Sword, then the first bishop of Estonia).[1] They were received by the Pope Innocent III who backed up their plans to Christianize Livonia.
According to feudal records, the Lieven ancestor Gerardus Līvo (1269) and his son Johannes (1296) entered service as vassals to the archbishop of Rīga. One of Caupo's daughters married an ancestor of the barons, then Earl Ungern-Sternberg.
Family members[edit]
Reinhold Liewen, the Swedish governor of Oesel (Saaremaa), in 1653 was made a baron together with his brother, whose son Lieutenant-General Baron Hans Heinrich von Liewen accompanied Charles XII in all his campaigns and expeditions. Among Reinhold's descendants, one branch settled in Courland and was recognized in 1801 as in the Holy Roman Empire. Johann-Christoph von Lieven was the first member of the family to gain distinction in the Russian service: he served as Governor of Arkhangelsk under Catherine the Great and as General of Infantry under Emperor Paul.
Baron Otto Heinrich von Lieven (1726–1781) married in 1766 Baroness Charlotte von Gaugreben (1742–1828),[2] who was entrusted by Emperor Paul with the task of educating his daughters and younger sons - Nicholas and Mikhail Pavlovich. In recognition of her services Paul made her a countess in 1799. When her pupil Nicholas became the Emperor of Russia in 1826, the 84-year-old governess was made a Princess with the title of Her Serene Highness. The title was hereditary and passed to her descendants, of which the following were notable.
- Her son, Prince Christoph Heinrich von Lieven (1774–1838), accompanied Alexander I of Russia during the Battle of Austerlitz and at the signing of the Peace of Tilsit. In 1809 he was sent to represent Russia at the Prussian court and, at the crisis of the Napoleonic Wars in 1812, was transferred as the Minister Plenipotentiary to the court of St. James's, a post which he kept for 22 years. Somewhat overshadowed by his more illustrious wife, Dorothea von Lieven, Prince Lieven took part in the Congress of Vienna and died in Rome when he accompanied the future Alexander II of Russia on his Grand Tour.[3]
- His elder brother, Prince Carl Christoph von Lieven (1767–1844), started his career as an aide-de-camp to Prince Potemkin, administered the garrison of Arkhangelsk under Paul and ended his career as Imperial Minister of Education (1828–33).
- Prince Alexander Karlovich Lieven (1801–1880), son of the preceding, Major-General, served as Governor of Taganrog in 1844-1853, and senator 1853-1880.
- Prince Andrey Alexandrovich Lieven (1839–1913), his son, was the Senator and Minister of State Properties in 1877-81.
- Prince Alexandr Alexandrovich Lieven (1860-...), was an admiral of the Imperial Russian Navy: in 1878 entered in service; in 1911 was appointed chief of the naval general staff.[4]
- Prince Anatoly Pavlovich Lieven (1872–1937) commanded a Russo-German battle group in Latvia; Lieven forbade his men to fight the Estonian Army in Vidzeme, unlike the rest of the Baltische Landeswehr. His Liventsy performed only rear security services for the Landeswehr during the campaign.[5] After the Latvian War of Independence he became a Latvian citizen and a manufacturer of bricks.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- Police say a shooting at a baby's birthday party in a Sacramento park that left one person dead and six wounded involved gunfire between two groups.
Officer Michele Gigante told the Sacramento Bee on Sunday (http://bit.ly/1lnc2Oh) that the attackers opened fire on specific people at the party, and subjects from the party shot back.
Gigante says the attackers drove off after people returned fire. It was not known if any of the people who fled were hit.
A 7-year-old child was among the six people who received non-life threatening injuries in the shooting Saturday at Peregrine Park in northern Sacramento.
A man in his 20s died at the scene.
The group had gathered to celebrate the birthday of a year-old child.
Police say the attack appears to be gang-related.

Strategic Offense
I greatly appreciated David Carroll Cochran's article "Plutocracy or Democracy?" [1] (February 10). Still, I believe he let our bishops off a little too easy with respect to their silence on the transformation of the United States into a plutocracy. He cites an example of a past statement, the magnificent pastoral letter Economic Justice for All, as an example of how the church has spoken out. As he notes, however, that was written twenty-six years ago. It is true that the bishops have more recently sent letters to Congress advocating that when it comes to deficit reduction, legislators should take note of the special needs of the poor, the elderly, and immigrants. But this is relatively weak stuff, given the scope of the current assault on the middle class and the programs on which our unemployed, struggling workers, and poor depend.
Just think of the potential impact if the bishops would launch the kind of effort they have put into the abortion issue, or even the effort they have put into the quickly mobilized campaign to "preserve freedom of choice for religious institutions." In these actions, they have been united in declaring where they stand.
So why haven't they been as vocal when it comes to the issues raised by Cochran? I'm afraid...

Animal Cookie Strain Review
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Mon, February, 24th 2014 by THCFinder
This extremely powerful and loved strain is a hybrid cross between the incredibly beloved Girl Scout Cookie strain and the Fire OG strain. The strain is a fast flowering plant, making it extremely popular among growers. It flower in about 9-10 weeks and grows as a dense plant. The strain is incredibly strong, not for the weak lunged smoker, and is highly recommended for patients that are suffering with pain or insomnia. Needless to say, Animal Cookies is a heavy indica strain that you're sure to love.
The aroma of the flowers is sweet, with a tart sour bite. It smells earthy and strong, a strain that you don't want to be carrying if you're not going to be keeping it in a sealed container. The buds are a gorgeous hue of green, covered in frost, tipped in a dark purple that resembles the ripest of grapes. Trust me, you'll be in love with this strain just from smell along but once you smoke the smooth, gorgeous flowers, you'll be keeping Animal Cookies in your bong for a long time.
For patients looking for a good medicine, Animal Cookies assists patients dealing with ADD and ADHD, as well as severe anxiety, asthma, gastrointestinal disorder, and the dreaded cancer. With so many positive benefits of the strain, it's a wonder that more people aren't talking about it. In addition the the illnesses listed above, this bud will also make the user feel euphoric and happy. This characteristic is especially important for people dealing with anxiety and depression. Many patients (as well as recreational smokers) should definitely be smoking on these buds.
Purple Princess (Hybrid)
Category: Nugs | Posted on Mon, February, 24th 2014 by THCFinder
Purple Princess is thought to be a cross of Cinderella 99 and Ice Princess. Has small, dense purple nugs and is good for stress and anxiety.
Holy Grail OG - Indica
Category: Nugs | Posted on Fri, February, 21st 2014 by THCFinder
The breeder of Holy Grail OG used The OG #18 (3-time cannabis cup winner) and Kosher Kush (2-time cannabis cup winner) to create a strain that definitely lives up to its name. HGK is the holy grail of indicadominant varieties. It has a deep and complex flavor of coffee, Kush, hash and lemon/lime with a similar aroma. These buds are very large, dense and have a slight bluish hue to them.
Stoner Snow Days
Category: Fun | Posted on Fri, February, 21st 2014 by THCFinder
Even those living in southern states have had to deal with some snowfall this year, with some places getting storms every few days. Getting snow in can result in a more then boring day so it's good to have some ideas in advance of what to do if there's a storm and you're trapped inside. Let's face it, snow can ruin a day full of plans and you can wind up going slightly stir crazy if stuck inside. Here's five ideas that will make a boring snow day in to a not so bad one.
1. Paint
Keeping painting supplies around will assure that you have a fun project to work on if it decides to dump three feet of snow on you one day. It'll keep you busy for hours and will produce an awesome wall decoration once you've finished.
2. Cook
Cooking and baking are a great way to stay busy when you're stuck inside. Pick a tougher dish that will keep you busy longer. Then, smoke yourself silly and devour your creation once you've finished. This is a great way to keep yourself occupied during a storm and will end up curing your munchies too.
3. Organize
More for the OCD stoners, organizing your home will give you a clean, happy place to relax in. Your stuff will be easier to find, everything will look better, and it gives you something to do. It might not be fun but some do enjoy this. It's a time consuming process with a result that will leave you feeling accomplished.
4. Write
Stoners enjoy writing down their creative thoughts so grab a blank book and start writing things down! You may shock yourself at some of the good ideas you come up with. These ideas can become short stories, drawings, or something else entirely.
5. Chill
Sometimes, it's good to do nothing. If you're a hardworking stoner that ends up getting snowed in, just sit back and relax. Watch some YouTube, Netflix, make some popcorn, whatever it is you like to do to chill out. You've worked hard and the universe is giving you a free pass to be a couch potato. Take it!

California Marijuana Legalization Initiative Postponed Until 2016
Category: News | Posted on Fri, February, 21st 2014 by THCFinder
The Los Angeles Times reported today that a deep-pocketed marijuana reform coalition including the Drug Policy Alliance had decided not to move forward this year with an initiative to legalize the weed in the Golden State. Instead, the coalition will aim at 2016.
That means marijuana legalization will most likely not be on the ballot in California this year. Three other legalization initiatives have been filed, but two of them appear to lack the funds to complete expensive signature gathering efforts — 504,000 signatures are needed by April 18 — and the third has yet to be cleared for circulation.
The coalition, which is supported by billionaire financier George Soros, and which included the late Progressive Insurance founder Peter Lewis, had consistently argued that 2016 was more doable than this year, but filed the Control, Regulate and Tax Marijuana Act late last year after polling numbers suggested victory was within reach.
At the time, spokesmen said they would make a decision on whether to move forward or not around the beginning of February. Now, that decision has been made.
The decision to wait was a "very close" call and "one that came down to the wire," Graham Boyd, counsel to Lewis, told The Times. "We see this as a trial run or dress rehearsal for 2016," he said.
Boyd and DPA executive director Ethan Nadelmann told The Times in interviews Monday that they wanted more time to do outreach with elected officials, law enforcement, and public health leaders, an approach they said worked in Washington state. They also said money was an issue, and that the death of Peter Lewis had an impact.
"We believe the best way to go forward with any state ballot initiative is to have a strong funding base in place before launching the campaign," Boyd said. "It is certainly true that Peter Lewis' death made that a much more difficult process to do in the time we had."

Today, the Unicameral Committee on Health and Human Services advanced LB 887, the Wellness In Nebraska bill that extends health care coverage to Nebraskans with incomes at or below 133% of the Federal Poverty Level.
"For the health and well-being of Nebraska's people, we urge the passage of LB 887," said Jon Bailey, Director of Rural Research and Analysis at the Center for Rural Affairs. "The failure of Nebraska to approve and implement the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act has created a coverage gap that an estimated 33,000 Nebraskans have fallen into."
According to Bailey, there is currently no help that that can be offered for Nebraskans that fall into the gap. They do not qualify for insurance marketplace tax credits because their incomes are too low. Consequently, even the least expensive insurance on the marketplace is generally unaffordable; and their employers do not provide health insurance.
"All that we can do and all that the ACA navigators can do is tell them the truth and send them on their way disappointed, frustrated and still uninsured," explained Bailey.
"LB 887 is crucial for rural Nebraskans," Bailey added. "It is simply immoral to enact a public policy of negligence that leaves 33,000 people, including over 15,000 from rural and small town Nebraska, by the side of the road with no options and with the disappointment and frustration of being in the coverage gap. Most importantly, it is immoral to leave them without the ability to resolve their health care needs and without the tools to enhance their long-term health."
"LB 887 will allow those in the coverage gap to become responsible health care consumers living healthier lives," Bailey concluded. "There are no valid excuses for failing to adopt LB 887. It's time to put people ahead of politics."

MINNEAPOLIS — Dick Bianco has a panic button under his desk.
As head of Experimental Surgical Services at the University of Minnesota, he's been the focus of animal rights activists' rage.
Bianco estimated that up to 300 sheep are "sacrificed" each year as part of his experiments in heart valve research. Pathology staff members kill the sheep with an overdose injection of a drug similar to what a veterinarian would use to euthanize a pet.
Bianco speaks out in support of animal experimentation and accepts his status as a public figure of the biomedical research industry. But he sees it differently when animal rights groups try to influence students.
"My solution is to bring the students to us," he said. He invites high school students to his lab for field trips to "counteract" PETA's message that using animals for research is wrong.
Bianco tests heart valves in animals before the valves go on to human trials. He proactively promotes research like this, which has drawn threats in the past.
Activist Camille Marino, out of Florida, posted a threat against Bianco on her website negotioationisover.net in 2009.
"We should not be surprised when the unconscionable violence inflicted upon animals is justifiably visited upon their tormentors," she wrote.
Animal rights organizations have demonstrated at the University in the past. In 1999, the Animal Liberation Front claimed responsibility for vandalizing research facilities and stealing more than 100 animals.
Frustrated with PETA's access to high schools, Bianco "invited himself" to speak at a high school science teachers' conference about a decade ago.
"Look it," he remembers saying from the podium. "You're letting PETA into your schools — you're not letting us into your schools. We don't want to brainwash your kids. What we want to do is expose them to a real medical research laboratory."
Immediately after his talk, teachers approached Bianco to get information on how to make the tours happen.
Since that day, 10,000 students have toured Bianco's Experimental Surgical Services lab, he estimated.
"Certainly my agenda is (fighting) the anti-science movement of the animal rights," Bianco said. "But it also is, we're going to have a problem in science — young kids aren't interested in it."
The hands moved gracefully, stringing a needle holder into one side of the flesh and threading it out the other. Steadily, they moved down the wound, sewing it up cleanly.
These weren't first-class surgeons. They were high schoolers, only doctors from wrists to finger tips. They wore jeans, sweatshirts and vests. But their hands were in rubber surgical gloves, and they gracefully stitched up the wounds on makeshift patients — pig limbs.
Meanwhile, Bianco was next door implanting a synthetic valve into a sheep. There was more blood in that room, and some students looked away as they walked by.
In their room, the high schoolers followed along as pre-vet junior and lab employee Amanda compared operating the tools to learning how to use chopsticks and told the students to open up a plastic package "like string cheese."
This was one station on Blaine High School's visit to Experimental Surgical Services recently. Some students were queasy — one fainted after seeing a heart and lung out on a table — but the consensus was that the lab made for a pretty cool field trip.
At another station, students used an "echo" machine to see their friend's heart and lungs.
"Have you ever seen your heart?" asked science teacher Tim Riordan, who did the same tour as a high schooler. "This is a first, man. Let's do it."

Marketing Secrets From The World's Smallest Jewelry Store
If you have ever driven in Philadelphia during rush hour, you might have noticed a rather curious billboard that is black with no images or color. Instead in a slightly weird font is the URL to a single website: I Hate Steven Singer dot com. While driving by the billboard, you may also hear the same Mr. Singer on the radio talking about the many reasons to hate him. If you happen to visit the website, you would find what may be the most irreverent jewelry store homepage ever created.

NATURAL history auctions usually throw up some fascinating lots, from bugs in amber to fossilised fish, from meteorites to a range of precious and semi-precious rocks, and the January 11 sale held by I.M. Chait, in association with David Herskowitz, was no exception.
For just $400 you could have picked up a 30 million-year-old turtle shell, or for $10,000 the 7ft 4in (2.23m) skeleton of a species of cave bear (Ursus uralensis), larger than today's grizzlies, kodiaks and polar bears, that roamed Eastern Europe during the last Ice Age. And if a whole bear is just too much to contemplate, then how about $250 (£130) for a Romanian cave bear's impressive baculum or penis bone, ready mounted in an 8 x 12in (20 x 30cm) display case?
The fossilised, empty armadillo that graced the catalogue cover did not find a new home but a woolly mammoth skull that was dug out of the softening tundra at Yakuntia in the Indigirka Basin (Russia) just a couple of years ago did sell at $28,000 (£14,840). The tusks of the skull – 3ft (91cm) along the curves and easily removable "for safe transport" – are shorter than one would expect as the result of a deformity in the otherwise well-preserved aveols.
The catalogue entry describes the skull as being in excellent condition with only about 15-20 per cent restoration, mostly to the back, but in this specialised field, I thought it might be worthwhile reprinting part of the saleroom's general advice on the matter of restoration, repair and enhancement of fossils.
Restoration, which as a general rule is not mentioned if it is less that 25 per cent, "...means the replacement of missing segments of the fossil not including repair of small cracks or chips. Repair is simply the reconstruction of the elements (piecing back together) that are recovered... A fossil is said to be enhanced when it needs to be highlighted, shaded or in some cases partly colored to match the rest of the specimen". The saleroom also point out that all fossils offered have been professionally prepared for display in a scientifically accurate manner and in introducing a group of trilobites, brought a new word into my vocabulary: "these exquisite examples have been brought to us by two of the finest trilobite preparitors in the world".

Missouri Town Hosting Alligator Round Up
Two years ago a reptile salesman showed up in Kennett, Missouri. He is believed to have sold at least 50 alligators in the town before police officers were able to stop this illegal activity and get him out of town. Now that the alligators are getting older, and not as easy to keep in a house, the Kennett Humane Officials are trying to round up the alligators before they are released into the wild.
It is illegal to possess or own an alligator in the town, but officials will overlook that if owners turn in their alligators, no charges will be pressed. Alligators could be dangerous to their owners, as a 3 foot alligator could snap off an arm. They would pose a threat to children, adults and other animals, captive or if released into the wild.

text: Vertex Pharmaceutical One final breakout idea that's also in the biotechnology sector is Vertex Pharmaceutical ( VRTX). This company is engaged in the business of discovering, developing and commercializing small molecule drugs for the treatment of diseases. Vertex engaged in phase-I clinical trials and/or nonclinical activities with respect to a range of additional drug candidates, including compounds intended for the treatment of hepatitis C virus infection, cystic fibrosis and influenza. This stock has been uptrending nicely so far this year with shares up over 28%. A couple of reasons to like Vertex here is because the stock is displaying some relative strength with shares up most of the day in this weak tape, and also because of an upcoming catalyst that could propel shares higher. Vertex is slated to present at an upcoming Robert W. Baird Health Care Conference in New York that will take place on Sept. 7 and 8. If you take a look at the chart for Vertex, you'll see that this stock has two major breakout signals that could be setting up to trigger in the coming days or weeks. The first is a move above a key descending trend line that started back in early August when the stock was at $53 a share. A move above that trend line would be a bullish development for shares of VRTX since it's marked a level where sellers have showed up recently. The second breakout signal will trigger if VRTX trades above some near-term overhead resistance at $47.50 and then above its 50-day moving average of $47.92 a share. If the stock clears both of those levels, then it will have a pretty resistance free clear path back towards $53 a share. One could simply be a buyer of this stock on any weakness as long as it holds above its near-term support zone at around $44.50 to $43.30 a share. I would get out of this trade if the stock falls below those levels on strong volume. If you want to buy strength, then buy VRTX once it clears its 50-day moving average of $47.92 on big volume. Look for volume that's tracking close to or well above its three-month average volume of 2.17 million shares. I would stop out of that trade if the stock then moves back below that key descending trend line. I would add to any long position in VRTX if it clears $53 with volume. This stock has a decent short interest since 4.1% of the tradable float is sold short by the bears. Those short-sellers have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by around 11.8%, or by about 898,000 shares. If this stock breaks out soon, then the bears could cover quickly sparking a big short-covering rally.

Our family of five has traveled to a variety of skiing mountains within a 5 hour drive of our NJ Shore home. We are primarily interested in finding mountains that are good for the entire family. Of the many places we have been in PA, NJ and NY, West Mountain has been our favorite. The quality of the snow, natural and man made, is great. The trails are groomed well and there were only a very few ice patches. Our youngest skiiers have taken lessons at many different mountains. The lessons they received at West were definately the best (instructors were Niki and Spencer). The bunny slope is a little bit isolated from the other trails unlike a place like Mountain Creek where high level skiiers ski through the lesson area.
Everyone in our family found trails they liked. And BEST of all, even on a beautiful sunny President's Day Weekend, we never waited in line for the chair lifts.
In addition, for those who don't ski or for those who want a break from skiing, the tubing park is very fun. But the tubing park can get very busy on weekends and waits can be long. Go on Friday or Sunday evening.

Donald, you've become one of those special people to us cheeseheads. You'll always be a class act, symbolic of Green Bay, and a Hall of Fame Packer. You've set the bar even higher.
Donald we love you. Your a great role model, a great Packer, a great citizen of Wisconsin.Hide replies
Could not have said it any better. DD is pure class. Love the guy!
Rock on, Donald. Looking forward to seeing you this season.
Just finished watching all dances. OMG!!! Especially loved the dances without the shirt. (Yes, I am female.) His kids are so cute. Son looks just like him and his little girl is adorable. Pure class.
The Viennese waltz reminded me so much of "The King and I" when the King of Siam (Yul Brynner) waltzed with Anna across the palace floor. Pure magic then and pure magic now.

Crop Insurance:
USDA Needs a Better Estimate of Improper Payments to Strengthen Controls Over Claims
RCED-99-266: Published: Sep 22, 1999. Publicly Released: Sep 22, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-9692
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on crop insurance, focusing on: (1) the extent to which crop insurance claims are paid in error--either unintentionally or fraudulently--and, to the extent practical, a comparison of the rate at which claims are paid in error with rates for other types of insurance; (2) the insurance companies' and the Department of Agriculture's Risk Management Agency's (RMA) quality controls to ensure that accurate claims payments are made; and (3) the proposals being considered to reduce insurance companies' administrative requirements and the potential impact of these proposals on the operations of the crop insurance program.
GAO noted that: (1) there are no precise estimates of the extent to which crop insurance claims are paid in error; (2) while RMA estimated that about 5 percent of claims were paid in error in 1997, the agency's methodology for estimating errors was questionable in several respects; (3) specifically, the estimate was based on an inadequate sample size and did not include the results of timely, on-site reviews to detect errors resulting from fraud; (4) although information on payment errors for other types of property and casualty insurance is limited, a recent insurance industry study reported higher rates of fraud-related payment errors than RMA reports for crop insurance; (5) RMA and the insurance companies revised the process for examining the accuracy of paid claims in 1998; (6) previously, the agency has reviewed the claims of a few companies every year for accuracy, but available resources limited the number of claims that could be examined; (7) under the new process, the agency is able to get much broader coverage of claims activity by relying on the companies themselves to review an agency-selected statistical sample of their claims to detect erroneous payments; (8) the companies use agency guidance for ensuring that the sampled claims were properly paid; (9) the agency then reviews a sample of these same claims to determine whether the companies' review processes are adequate; (10) while it is too early to evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, success will depend heavily on how well the companies implement this approach and the quality of RMA's oversight of the process; (11) RMA and the companies are considering proposals to simplify administrative requirements in three principal areas: (a) developing alternatives to producers' actual production histories, which are used to determine the insured value of a crop; (b) simplifying the administration of one type of crop insurance--catastrophic; and (c) changing other administrative requirements, such as allowing farmers to self-certify claims below certain dollar amounts; (12) the agency and the companies do not agree on how these simplification proposals would affect program operations; and (13) for example, while some simplification proposals could reduce the companies' administrative costs, these proposals could also increase claims payments, which would increase government costs.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: USDA's Risk Management Agency and the participating insurance companies concurred with GAO's recommendation and began implementation in early 2000.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Agriculture should require the Administrator, RMA, to evaluate the costs of alternative methods for developing more accurate estimates of error rates for claims payments and implement an alternative that would improve the estimate at a reasonable cost to the federal government. Alternatives that could be considered include having RMA sample and analyze a sufficient number of claims to make an estimate.
Agency Affected: Department of Agriculture
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: USDA's Risk Management Agency and the participating insurance companies concurred with GAO's recommendation and began implementation in early 2000.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Agriculture should require the Administrator, RMA, to evaluate the costs of alternative methods for developing more accurate estimates of error rates for claims payments and implement an alternative that would improve the estimate at a reasonable cost to the federal government. Alternatives that could be considered include using the claims sampling done by the insurance companies under the quality control program to make the estimate.

|Kill before being killed: An experimental approach supports the predator-removal hypothesis as a determinant of intraguild predation in top predators
|Lourenço, Rui; Penteriani, Vincenzo ; Delgado, María del Mar
|Issue Date:
|Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology 65: 1709- 1714 (2011)
|Intraguild predation (IGP) has been explained in terms of competitor-removal, food-stress and predator-removal hypotheses. Only the first two hypotheses have been fairly well studied. To test the predator-removal hypothesis as a force determining IGP in avian predators, we performed a field experiment to simulate the presence of an IG predator (eagle owl Bubo bubo dummy) in the surrounding of the nests of four potential IG prey (black kite Milvus migrans, red kite Milvus milvus, booted eagle Aquila pennata and common buzzard Buteo buteo). To discard the possibility that an aggressive reaction towards the eagle owl was not related to the presence of the IG predator, we also presented a stuffed tawny owl Strix aluco, which is a potential competitor but cannot be considered an IG predator of the studied diurnal raptors considered in the experiment. While almost always ignoring the tawny owl, raptors chiefly showed an interspecific aggressive behaviour towards their IG predator. Our results seem to support the predator-removal hypothesis, as the IG prey may take advantage of the diurnal inactivity of the IG predator to remove it from their territory. However, the recorded behaviour may be also considered as a special variety of mobbing (i. e. a prey's counter-strategy against its predator), where the mobber is sufficiently powerful to escalate predator harassment into deliberate killing attempts. In their turn, eagle owls can respond with an IG predatory behaviour aimed at removing IG prey species which are highly aggressive mobbers. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

Sound Radiation Analysis of Loudspeaker Systems Using Nearfield Acoustic Holography (NAH) and the Application Visualization System (AVS)
Broadband acoustic holography from intensity measurements (BAHIM) is a powerful field reconstruction technique allowing one to predict the sound radiation from a source simply by determining the nearfield complex pressure distribution on a parallel measurement plane (hologram). Fundamental wave descriptive properties of the intensity vector and the visualization capabilities of the AVS graphics software can be combined to study acoustic fields of loudspeaker systems, and completely characterize details concerning diffraction, diaphragm/port interaction, and sound propagation.

1996 Lincoln Mark VIII Coupe LSC 2dr Coupe
This car is already over 13 years old and still kicks the snot out of 80 percent of the new cars on the road today. Why Lincoln stopped making these Ill never know, this is my 5th one. The people who own these cars NEVER get rid of them. Still looks modern 14 years later. If you get a chance to own one of these you will see to, and never get rid of it.
Mileage, Performance, BIG MOONROOF that slides all way back into roof or pops up like normal.
If you get the base model without HID headlights, you will be disappointed by the nighttime driving. The headlight insides were a poor design from the start. Other than that, this is by far an awesome car once you put new High Intensity Headlights into it.
1996 Lincoln Mark VIII Coupe 2dr Coupe
Quick with a 4.6 DOHC all aluminum, and with mods like exhaust work, different rearratio with limited slip, air intake mods this is a low 14 second car, and there is virtually nothing on the road that can roll with it. It handles great expecially for a big car, and is beautiful with lots of style and design innovations. Air ride is nice but not dependable-you have to figure on replacing components every 6 to 8 years. Headlights are a joke, but HID kits on ebay cost $77 and are simple to install, so that problem is history now. Still able to get parts, but the 96 is the most unique and rare, so this'll be an issue one day. I will always have one-great car!
Cockpit styling, classic lines, powerful, big revving aluminum engine that is decent on gas, somewhat easy to work on, trans is nice with necessary mods, tunable engine for much more power and drivability, memory seats, built-in garage opener, great sound and AC, handles great, fast and fun-get one!
Air suspension is flawed and relativly expensive to fix, headlights are awful but can be easily fixed for less than $100, trans has known weaknesses that can also be fixed for less than $200 if not too far gone. That's about it-and it is 12 years old, so that's not too bad.
My 96 Lincoln stills feels a tight as the day I brought it home. With 90,000 miles it still drives, runs and looks like a new car. Never had any problems. My only complaint is the headlights are a bit dim.
Space ship interior
I've enjoyed this vehicle to the limits. 220,000 miles and still very strong. Trans rebuilt at 150,000 along with some air suspension/electrical repairs. Rust is beginning to take over however i just wont part with it until its done!
Power, look, handling.
Stock radios are horrible! component systems should be an option also the air suspension is over rated.
Excellent car--looked great, powerful, wonderful seats and interior. The perfect car for highway cruising, handled well for its size too and the air suspension provides a comfortable but not floaty ride. The 32v V8 is one of Ford's best engine designs, smooth and lots of power. The shape still looks contemporary 10 years down the road, and the interior design is the best of any car I've owned. Beautiful and functional. Safe, too, mine was totaled in an accident and I walked away without a scratch. I miss it...would have bought another had I been able to find a low-mileage example. Destined to become a classic, and hopefully I'll have another one by then...
Excellent seats, elegant exterior styling, real wood trim inside, silky and powerful V8 engine, smooth, comfortable ride, traction control and useful info. center.
Air suspension can be problematic, headlights are atrocious (the HIDs on the LSC were *much* better), city MPG isn't too good.

Tylenol issues a voluntary recall of several children's products.
The recall affects:
- Children's Tylenol Meltaways in bottles and the pop through pill packets
- The packets of Children's Tylenol Softchews
- Junior Tylenol Meltways.
The recall was triggered by concerns the "push-through- packs" containing two pills would lead some consumers to take both tablets.
The labels on the bottled products also created some confusion.
Consumers or retailers who have questions on the recall can call 877-895-3665.

Tip: Categorizing images[edit]
Hello, Fig!
Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.
Here's how:
1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:
2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.
- [[Category:Category name]]
For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:
- [[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]
- [[Category:Comets]]
This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".
When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations"). Pro-tip: The CommonSense tool can help you find the best category for your image.
Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Although Seymour gymnast Alyssa Goen finished third in all-around against No. 10-ranked Columbus East, the Owls struggled at times during Saturday's meet, which finished with a 105.25-93.45 loss to the host Olympians.
"I think our girls did OK today, especially when we changed and added more skillful stuff to some of our routines on Thursday," Seymour coach Angie Mellencamp said. "We had a lot of falls today on the floor and on the bars. We are just not hitting 100 percent out there."
Goen, a sophomore, had an all-around score of 34.2. She tied East freshman Becca Bryan for first on vault with 8.8, and she was third on bars with 8.5 and second on floor with 9.4 but scored 7.5 on beam.

Perez Pass? Manny Way? Amarillo's much-needed Grand Street Bridge has no official name in honor of one individual.
Following a 3-2 vote by Potter County commissioners Monday, that might change — or maybe not.
Before a standing-room-only crowd, the county approved a resolution "in support of community efforts to name the Grand Street Bridge as a memorial to former Commissioner Manny Perez."
The resolution passed with County Judge Arthur Ware and Commissioner H.R. Kelly opposing — and they weren't the only voices of disapproval. During an address to commissioners, former Amarillo Mayor Debra McCartt asked the county to withdraw the resolution, and Kelly later made the motion. The motion failed by the same 3-2 vote, with — as you might guess — Ware and Kelly in favor.
Here's the problem with naming the bridge in honor of Perez, who was a staunch supporter of building the badly needed bridge in his beloved Precinct 2 before his death in October 2011 — the bridge isn't the property of Potter County but rather the city of Amarillo, and there were many who funded and supported the bridge project.
A compromise of sorts that recognizes all who contributed to the bridge would be more appropriate.
The county resolution has no real authority, but can be regarded as a recommendation to the city — and if the feelings of McCartt are any indication, it seems the city isn't that enthusiastic.
While McCartt applauded Perez's passion to getting the bridge built, she correctly mentioned many organizations and individuals that shared that passion for the bridge, which was needed to alleviate traffic congestion because of railroad tracks.
The bridge was funded by $7.3 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds — in other words, federal stimulus money — and $1.8 million from the city. According to Commissioner Joe Kirkwood, the county kicked in $500,000.
We would hope the disagreement — if that is what occurs — between the county and the city doesn't erode into a political tiff because one entity does not want the other dictating policy.
Monday's meeting was packed with about 20 to 30 supporters of the resolution, and their contention that Perez tirelessly fought for the bridge was accurate.
Perhaps there is a solution — a compromise mentioned by Commissioner Alphonso Vaughn.
Vaughn asked City Commissioner Jim Simms, who also was in attendance Monday, if the bridge could sport a plaque rather than an official name. Simms said he did not want to speak for other city officials.
It is clear the city should do something to recognize the many people and organizations that aided in the completion of a bridge project that was long overdue — and Perez's name should be at or near the top of the list.
While we hope Perez's name will be included prominently in that recognition, county and city officials need to make sure all who contributed to the bridge's completion are not overlooked — and a plaque or sign with the Perez name leading the way deserves serious consideration.
