The Daily Agenda for Friday, October 7
Jim Burroway
October 7th, 2011
Campus Pride College Fair and Prep Day: Boston, MA. Campus Pride's College Fair is an opportunity for LGBT students and their families to discuss educational opportunities with participating LGBT-affirming colleges and universities. The fair features expert advice about LGBT-friendly colleges, scholarship resources and even effective tips for campus visits. The Northwest Region College Fair takes place today at Boston's City Hall, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. More information can be found here. Future College Fairs will take place in Los Angeles (Oct 15) and New York (Nov 4).
AIDS Walks This Weekend: Columbus, OH; Indianapolis, IN and Kent/Sussex, DE.
Pride Celebrations This Weekend: Atlanta, GA; Orlando, FL; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Tucson, AZ.
Also This Weekend: Iris Prize Film Festival, Cardiff, UK.
Values Voter Summit: Washington, D.C. The Family "Research" Council, one of only a handful of organizations tracked by the Southern Poverty Law Center for being an anti-gay hate group, kicks off its annual Values Voter Summit in the nation's capital this morning with a breakfast talk by Mat Staver, Chairman of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty Unversity's Law School. Members of Staver's Liberty Counsel and law school staff have been implicated in the Isabella Miller-Jenkins kidnapping case, while teachers have instructed law students to ignore "man's law" in favor of "God's law." And so as you might expect, the Summit just goes straight downhill from there. Other speakers include House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), and GOP Presidential candidate Sen. Rick Santorum. And all of that is before lunch, when voting begins for the Summit's straw poll. Afternoon speakers include GOP presidential candidates Herman Cain, Texas Gov. Rick Perry, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, plus Rep. Steve King (R-IA) and Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO). The evening plenary session features another GOP presidential candidate, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), as well as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal. The craziness just goes on and on and on through Sunday morning.
Exodus International Florida Regional Conference. Leesburg, FL. Exodus International will conduct a two-day conference with the theme "Chosen for Freedom," beginning today and continuing through Saturday. The conference's featured speakers include Exodus International president Alan Chambers, former Exodus president Joe Dallas, and former Exodus vice president Randy Thomas. Also speaking is Dr. Julie Hamilton, a former president of the National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality (NARTH) and whose book, Handbook of Therapy for Unwanted Homosexual Attractions, includes a final chapter by discredited ex-gay activist George Rekers. As we reported in our original investigation of Rekers's "treatment" of four-year-old Kirk Murphy, Rekers claimed that he had successfully turned the "effeminate pre-homosexual" boy into a straight man. He built his entire career on that supposedly groundbreaking success story. Except there were a couple of problems: Kirk grew up to be gay, and he ultimately committed suicide over the lifelong conflicts he struggled with as a result of that therapy. Yet in Hamilton's book, Rekers boasted that Kirk "had a normal male identity," six years after Kirk took his life. Hamilton's book with Rekers's boast is still on sale at NARTH's web site, and I have no doubt that it will also be available at the conference, which takes place today and tomorrow at the First Baptist Church in Leesburg, FL.
Minnesota Anti-Marriage Strategy and Briefing Session: Bloomington, MN. The Minnesota Faith and Freedom Coalition, supporters of the latest proposed constitutional amendment to make same-sex marriage even more illegaler in the Gopher state, will hold a Strategy and Briefing Session at the Doubletree Inn in Bloomington, MN this morning from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Invited speakers include GOP presidential candidate Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and former Christian Coalition honcho Ralph Reed.

And feel free to consider this your open thread for the day. What's happening in your world?
Sen. Sessions Seeks To Retain HIV Travel Ban
Jim Burroway
July 14th, 2008
Efforts to repeal the prohibition on travelers with HIV from entering the U.S. has taken a tortured path. It had been held in the Senate under a filibuster, which ended last week on a 65-3 vote. Before the vote, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) named Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) as the senator who was trying to quash the travel ban's repeal. The repeal is part of the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief or PEPFAR.
Now we learn that Sen. Sessions has introduced an amendment to keep the United States in the same company of such enlightened states as Sudan, Russia, Libya and Saudi Arabia. The Human Rights Campaign has asked its members to email their senators.

Patagonian steppe
Patagonian steppe, western Chile near Argentine border. Source: C.Michael Hogan
The Patagonian steppe ecoregion extends approximately from the mid-Andean Precordillera southward, terminating immediately north of the Strait of Magellan near the Rio Gallegos. This steppe is bounded on the west by the cold temperate forest slopes of the Andes Range, and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. It extends northwest as shrubland steppe and to the north as thorn thicket, gradually making the transition to Argentine Monte. This area is a cold desert scrub steppe, with very high wind velocities throughout the year, as well as year around frosts likely. This ecoregion has high levels of endemism for both plants and animals.
Location and general description
The Patagonian steppe ecoregion mainly covers the Patagonia region of Argentina from the Atlantic Ocean shore across the border and into easten Chile. The Peninsula Valdés is an outlier of this ecoregion, lying slightly north of the main body. The topography of this ecoregion includes low-lying mountains, plateaus and plains. Soils are variable but generally exhibit a rocky-sandy composition that are deficient in fine-grained materials and organic matter. The climate is very arid and cold with snow during the winter and nighttime frosts practically year-around; however, annual precipitation does not typically reach more than 200 millimetres (mm). A characteristic of the Patagonian climate is a persistent desiccating wind that arrives with great force from the west, particularly in the summer months. Austral winter generally lasts for five months from about June to September, with averages of the coldest month between one to three °Celsius below freezing. Elevations range considerably in this expansive ecoregion from sea level nearer the shores of the Atlantic up to 2000 metres (m) in the north and about 700 m in the southern extent of the ecoregion, due to the Andean slopes on the western side.
In general, the vegetation of this steppe ecoregion is xerophytic and highly adapted for protection against drought, wind, and herbivores. The vegetation is considered strongly related to Andean flora however the average numbers of endemic species for dominant families is very high with as much as 60 percent endemism in Leguminosae and 33 percent in Compositae families. Three main types of vegetative communities are exhibited in the Patagonian steppe. The most common type is semi-desert (45%), with shrub-steppe (30%) in second place, and grass-steppe (20%) in third place in terms of percent of occurrence. Desert-like areas also exist here with little to no vegetative cover; however, some wet meadow areas are present which have close to 100% plant cover.
Semi-desert vegetation has highly adapted features; these dwarf and cushion shrubs are the most widely occuring vegetation type in the ecoregion. Shrubs species of Acantholippia, Benthamiella, Nassauvia and Verbena genera grow in these areas as well as cushion plants of Mulinum spinosum and Brachyclados caespitosus and tuft grasses; the most common being species of Poa and Stipa. Also abundant are species with heteroblastic growth and small limited-growth branches covered with tight leaves. Junellia tridens and Nassauvia glomerulosa are good examples of this type of plant. Taller woody shrubs indicate a change to shrub steppe communities within the ecoregion. These species of Anarthrophyllum, Berberis, Schinus, and Verbena can grow up to three meters in height. Valleys and lowlands with higher amounts of water available to vegetation host species of sedges (Eleocharis), rushes (Juncus), grasses (Agrostis, Hordeum, Polypogon), and in saline areas certain halphytic species (Distichlis, Nitrophila, Puccinellina).
In this ecoregion one finds two endemic species of the Mesquite genus Prosopis, one species of Creosote Bush, Larrea, and some species within the genera Wolfberry (Lycium) and Peppertree (Schinus). Genera and species endemism are extremely high in the Patagonian steppe, notably among the plant genera Philippiella, Neobaclea, Xerodraba, Benthamiella, Pantacantha, Duseniella, Eriachaenium and Lepidophyllum. There are also numerous endemic species of mammals, birds, and amphibians. The National Council for Bird Preservation asserts that this ecoregion is one of the most important in terms of the presence of endemic bird species, and posits that there are likely ten such avian species here. The fauna is quite varied in the Patagonian steppe. There have been a total of 363 native vertebrates recorded within the Patagonian steppe ecoregion.
Among avifauna occurring in the ecoregion are: Lesser Rhea (Pterocnemia pennata), Patagonian Tinamou (Tinamotis ingoufi), Black-chested Buzzard Eagle (Geranoaetus melanoleucus), Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), Band-winged Nightjar (Caprimulgus longirostris), Sharp-billed Canastero (Asthenes pyrrholeuca), Patagonian Mockingbird (Mimus patagónicus), Patagonian Yellow Finch (Sicalis lebruni) to recite representative species.
Among mammals one can find the Patagonian Cavy (Dolichotis patagonum), Southern Viscacha (Lagidium viscacia), Wolffsohn's Mountain Viscacha (Lagidium wolffsohni), Patagonian Weasel (Lyncodon patagonicus), Pategonian Opossum (Lestodelphys halli), Humboldt's Hog-nosed Skunk (Conepatus humboldti), Puma (Felis concolor), Zorro Gris Chico (Dusicyon griseus), and the Guanaco (Lama guanicoe), among other taxa.
The following taxa comprise the set of amphibians present in the Patagonian steppe: the Endangered Andalgala Water Frog (Telmatobius scrocchii), a limited range anuran known only from the El Ingenio stream and tributaries the Río Arenal, Redonda and Lio los Cerrillos, in the Campo Arenal area of Catamarca Province, northwestern Argentina; Argentine Toad (Rhinella arenarum), found in ponds and stagnant bogs; El Rincon Stream Frog (Somuncuria somuncurensis); Gray Four-eyed Frog (Pleurodema bufoninum), an anuran typically found beneath rocks or under vegetation; Island Spiny-chest Frog (Alsodes monticola), known to only a single location at Inchy in coastal southern Chile; Laguna Raimunda Frog (Atelognathus reverberii), known from merely five lagoons on the Somuncura Plateau, an isolated basaltic plateau in Río Negro Province, Argentina; Las Bayas Creek Frog (Atelognathus solitarius);, found only at Las Bayas Creek, 48 kilometres south from Pilcaniyeu, Río Negro Province, Argentina; Olive Spiny-chest Frog (Alsodes verrucosus), occurring in only two localities in Andean Chile: Cautin and Puyehue; Patagonia Frog (Atelognathus patagonicus), found in isolated lagoons, rocky and volcanic areas bordering Laguna Blanca; the Vulnerable Portezuelo Frog (Atelognathus salai), known only from a pond at Laguna de los Gendarmes and other nearby ponds in southwestern Argentine Patagonia; Tonchek Spiny-chested Frog (Alsodes gargola), found in the provinces of Río Negro within the Parque Nacional Nahuel Huapi, (A. g. gargola), Neuquen volcanic tablelands of Lonco Luan and surroundings (A. g. neuquensis) and Parque Nacional Los Alerces and Parque Nacional Lago Puelo; Warty Toad (Rhinella spinulosa); and the Zapala Frog (Atelognathus praebasalticus), endemic to northwestern Argentine Patagonia, and localities in Neuquen Province. .
Among reptiles, one observes Fitzinger-s Tree Ignuna (Liolaemus fitzingerii), King's Tree Iguana (L. kingi), Darwin's Marked Gecko (Homonota Darwinii) and Darwin's Iguana (Diplolaemus Darwinii), among others.
Selected threatened taxa
Species in danger of becoming extinct or which are classified as Vulnerable include the Ruddy-headed Goose (Chloephaga rubidiceps), South Andean Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus), Lesser Rhea (Pterocnemia pennata), Hooded Grebe (Podiceps gallardoi), Patagonian Cavy (Dolichotis patagonum), Wolffsohn's Mountain Viscacha (Lagidium wolffsohni), Guanaco (Lama guanicoe), Zorro Gris Chico (Dusicyon griseus) and the marine species Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis).
Marine margins
The Argentine coasts have high species diversity, including 33 species of cetaceans, eight species of pinnipeds and more than 450 fish species in the waters of the Argentine Sea.
Current status
Despite the low density of the human population, this ecoregion has been significantly adversely affected due to the fragility of the environment, especially due to overgrazing of introduced livestock over large portions of the Patagonian steppe. This ecoregion has numerous natural reserves and protected areas. These include the Laguna Blanca National Park (Ramsar), Nahuel Huapi National Park, Perito Moreno National Park, Los Glaciares National Park, Bosques Petrificados Natural Monument, El Payén Provincial Reserve, El Tromen Provincial Reserve, Domuyo Provincial Reserve, Somuncurá Provincial Reserve, Laguna Aleusco Provincial Reserve, Bosques Petrificados José Ormachea Provincial Reserve, Bahía San Julián Provincial Reserve, and Península de Valdés Provincial.
Types and severity of threats
The major problem is desertification due to overgrazing primarily by domesticated sheep, damaging the limited plant coverage and exposing the soil to erosion. In addition to the topsoil loss, native fauna are being displaced by enormous numbers of domesticated livestock, who are competing for the same biomass of grass stocks. Many species of fauna are also now in regression due to the tempting prices paid for the skins of chulengos (baby guanacos) and choique rhea feathers. There is also pressure on foxes and pumas from hunting and/or poisoning because they are persecuted for being considered by some ranchers as a potential threat to flocks.
Justification of ecoregion delineation
Within Argentina the delineations for the Patagonian Steppe were derived from Daniele and Natenzon, and linework follows their "Estepa Arbustiva Patagónica Arida (arid Patagonian woodland steppe)" region. Other resources consulted include Cabrera and Morello. The linework for the western portion and within Chile was modified according to UNESCO and expert opinion at ecoregional priority setting workshops: Valdivia, Chile, Bariloche, Argentina, and Concepción, Chile.

Tom Cruise's Drunk Neighbor Was Tased for Climbing Over His Wall
A neighbor of TOM CRUISE got drunk and climbed over the wall around Tom's house . . . and got TASED for his efforts. Here's what happened . . .
--A 41-year-old Australian interior designer and reality TV star named Jason Sullivan has been staying at the home of Tom's manager, Kevin Huvane. Huvane's house is adjacent to Tom's.
--Well, Sullivan went out Sunday night and got HAMMERED. When he was dropped off in the neighborhood early yesterday morning, he apparently mistook Tom's house for Kevin's.
--He climbed the wall, where he was spotted by one of Tom's security guards, who told him to stop. But instead, Sullivan kept walking toward Tom's house, so the guard tased him. Twice.
--Police were called and Sullivan was arrested for trespassing. He was also treated for injuries he suffered during the tasing.
--Tom does NOT want to pursue charges against Sullivan, because he realizes the guy made a mistake. His lawyer says, quote, "Tom's not a vindictive guy. The guy was drunk. He didn't have a malicious intent."
Kelsey Grammer Brought His Baby to a Playboy Mansion Party . . . And One of the Playmates Isn't Happy About It
KELSEY GRAMMER hit up the Playboy Mansion Halloween party over the weekend . . . with his 3-month-old daughter Faith. (???)
--TMZ says the baby was, quote, "tucked into her bassinet as the music blared" and Kelsey, quote, "whooped it up at a table next to PARIS HILTON just after midnight."
--That didn't sit well with Playmate MELISSA MAY. She Tweeted, quote, "Why the [eff] does Kelsey Grammer have a newborn baby at the Mansion party!?!?!?"
Is Kim Kardashian Willing to Sacrifice Her Body to Make Babies With Kanye West?
Is KIM KARDASHIAN so in love with KANYE WEST that she's willing to ruin her body just to have his kids?
--The "National Enquirer" claims that Kim's original plan was to use a surrogate mom in order to preserve the curves that made her . . . and ultimately her entire family . . . famous. But she changed her mind after their romantic trip to Italy.
--According to a source, Kim recently said, quote, "All I want now is to be Kanye's wife and the mother of his babies. I don't care WHAT it does to my figure!"
The First Live Episode of "X Factor" Has Been Bumped Up to Tomorrow Night
The first LIVE episode of "X Factor" will air TOMORROW night . . . instead of Thursday night. It was bumped up because the World Series was over early. (--The San Francisco Giants swept the Detroit Tigers in four games.)
--This will also be the debut of the show's new hosts KHLOE KARDASHIAN and MARIO LOPEZ. (--On Thursday's episode the top finalists will be revealed, and America begins voting next week.)
NBC Has Decided Not to Pursue Rainn Wilson's "Office" Spin-Off
Earlier this year, NBC was developing a spin-off of "The Office" starring Dwight . . . who's played by RAINN WILSON. It was about Dwight's life on his family's beet farm and bed & breakfast, which has been featured on "The Office" several times.
--Well, the show, which was called "The Farm", is no longer in development. Yesterday, Rainn Tweeted, quote, "NBC has passed on moving forward with 'The Farm' TV show. Had a blast making the pilot . . . onwards & upwards!"
(--"The Farm" was going to be set-up in an upcoming episode of "The Office". There's no word if that episode will still air.)

Damage Threshold
this wiki
Damage Threshold is a combat statistic in Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel. It was removed in Fallout 3, leaving Damage resistance as the only armor statistic. However, it was restored in Fallout: New Vegas.
Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics
In the original Fallout games, DT (Damage Threshold) is one of three stats by which a character can reduce or avoid damage. The other stats are AC (Armor Class) and DR (Damage Resistance). DT occupies the "middle step" for combat and simulates the effect of how tough armor can immediately stop a bullet cold, no matter how many successful shots are fired (like a real-life tank).
More specifically, after AC is checked for a successful hit and before DR is checked to further reduce the damage, any incoming damage is immediately reduced by DT:
Unlike in Fallout: New Vegas, damage can be completely negated by DT. In such a case, the player gets a message that an attack dealt "no damage," which can be frustratingly common when using weaker weapons against power armor or Wanamingos.
Fallout: New Vegas
Imagine that there is an amount of damage that armor directly subtracts from damage... a "threshold" of damage, if you will. While a small percentage of damage may get through even the thickest armor, damage threshold can effectively neutralize a lot of small arms."— J.E. Sawyer
Fallout: New Vegas mostly moves away from the use of Damage Resistance (DR) in Fallout 3 to Damage Threshold (DT). However, there are still places where DR is used, and because the math is a little bit more involved than in Fallouts 1 and 2, no discussion of DT is complete without referring to DR (though see the individual DR page for details on that mechanic alone).
The combined statistics of DT and DR (with DR being applied first, contrary to previous Fallouts) determines the final damage of each attack. Like in previous games, DT is an outright subtraction: if a shot is fired with a damage value of 40 against a DT of 10, then 10 damage will be ignored. However, unlike in Fallouts 1 and 2, DT cannot outright reduce an attack to below 20% of its adjusted, pre-DT damage.[1] This adjusted, pre-DT damage itself depends on any DR a player has, which itself is capped to a DR of 85.
So to adjust our earlier example, if a shot of damage 40 is fired against a character with 95 DR and 10 DT, the damage is first reduced to 6 (95 DR is capped down to 85% reduction), and then subtracted by 10. The final result (-4) is less than 20% of the pre-adjusted original (6), so the final damage is instead 1.2.
In F:NV, the red shield appears next to a target's health meter when you hit it for damage that is equal to or less than the target's damage threshold. A HUD-colored shield appears next to the player's health meter when the player is hit for damage equal to or less than the player's damage threshold."— J.E. Sawyer
Damage which is reduced to below minimum value is indicated with a shield icon next to the health bar (either the PC, or the non-player character's). When all of an enemy's DT (if it's not 0 to begin with) is overcome with armor piercing attacks, then a broken shield icon will be appear in its place instead. The shield icon is shown during V.A.T.S. and on the HUD's health bars once damage has been inflicted upon a target and will remain for 3 seconds afterwards.
The default value for DT is set at 0, this is then modified mainly by the DT value of armor and clothing worn. Other attributes that can also affect the DT value both permanently or temporarily of a character are perks, traits, consumables and ammunition.
- Despite DT being the determining factor for armor in New Vegas, when repairing armor merchants will list DR instead. All armors when viewed from the repair screen have a DR of 0. This is fixed in patch 1.1.1.
- In the initial release of Fallout: New Vegas, all creatures such as super mutants, robots, or deathclaws had twice as much DT as intended (in other words, twice the amount of DT as was entered in their G.E.C.K. page). This was corrected in the 1.2 patch. A similar bug affects the DR of creatures in Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, which has not been corrected.
- In Fallout: New Vegas, the only articles of clothing that provide DR are the Rebreather, which is acquired during the quest Volare!, the Vault 11 jumpsuit, and the scientist outfit.
- While wearing one of the said items above or after having taken Psycho, Slasher, or Battle Brew, your Pip-Boy 3000 will crossfade between showing your DR and DT. Taking the DR items off or having your DR chems expire while your Pip-Boy has DT partially faded out or completely replaced with DR will keep your DT partially faded out or render it completely invisible. Removing the DR item or putting away your Pip-Boy only when the armor display is fully on DT is highly recommended.

Will Strong Encryption Protect Privacy and Make Government Obsolete?
Recorded: Tuesday, April 24, 2001
Many people have wondered how technological progress will affect political, economic, and civil freedoms. With the rise of encryption software, the National Security Agency's Echelon worldwide surveillance system, and the FBI's Carnivore e-mail snooping program, this subject is no longer the exclusive domain of speculative thinkers or futurists, it is the subject of intense public-policy debate. Will privacy-enhancing technology improve faster than privacy-threatening technology? Should the government mandate privacy standards? Should it enforce contracts in cyberspace, or would private law do a better job? Economist, physicist, and legal scholar David Friedman discussed these and related questions about technological change and the case for and against government involvement.

Imperial Woodpecker found on 1956 film but not on surveys to film location.
By Adrian Long, Thu, 27/10/2011 - 08:13
The largest woodpecker that ever lived and the closest relative of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker probably went extinct in Mexico in the late 20th century concludes a paper just published in the October 2011 issue of The Auk, the scientific journal of the American Ornithologists' Union. It was thought that no photos or film of the two-foot-tall, flamboyantly crested bird existed, until a biologist from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology tracked down a 16-mm film shot in 1956 by a dentist from Pennsylvania. The footage captures the last ever confirmed sighting of an Imperial Woodpecker. Original 85-second clip of a female Imperial Woodpecker. For more clips (including image stabilised clips) click here The researchers not only restored the film to use it to describe the species' behavior but also to study the habitat of the woodpecker by tracking down the exact filming location during a 2010 expedition to the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains, in Mexico. This 'lost species' survey, was co-funded by The British Birdwatching Fair - Founding Global Sponsor of the BirdLife Preventing Extinctions Programme. Pronatura (BirdLife in Mexico) helped with the expedition logistics. "It is stunning to look back through time with this film and see the magnificent Imperial Woodpecker moving through its old-growth forest environment, and it is heartbreaking to know that both the bird and the forest are gone," said Martjan Lammertink, lead author of the paper. In the color film, a female Imperial Woodpecker hitches up and forages on the trunks of large Durango pines. The bird's extraordinary crest of black feathers curves up over her head, shaking as she hitches up the tree and chips at bark with her long, pale bill. As she launches into flight, the bird shows a long pointed tail, long wings, and a powerful, fast flight. The film was shot by William L. Rhein, a dentist and amateur ornithologist from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, who went to Mexico in 1953, 1954, and 1956 specifically to film and record the sounds of the Imperial Woodpecker. He finally succeeded in filming the bird in 1956, shooting the footage hand-held from the back of a mule, while camping in a remote location in the Sierra Madre Occidental in Durango state. No sound recordings were obtained of the species by Rhein or any other recordist. Rhein died in 1999 at age 89. During the 2010 expedition local residents were interviewed about the Imperial Woodpecker and explored a few remaining old-growth forests in areas inaccessible to logging. The survey found no evidence that Imperial Woodpeckers are still alive. Only residents in their late 60s or older remembered it, and no one reported seeing any of the birds after the 1950s. "Even in the rare remnants of uncut forest, we found evidence of hunting and saw old-growth forests being cut and burned and planted with marijuana and opium poppies," said Tim Gallagher, a member of the expedition. The entire range of the Imperial Woodpecker lay in the high country of the Sierra Madre Occidental—a rugged mountain range stretching some 900 miles south from the U.S.-Mexico border—and the Transvolcanic mountains of central Mexico. The species largely vanished in the late 1940s and 1950s as logging destroyed their old-growth pine forest habitat. Imperial Woodpeckers were also frequently shot for food, to use in folk remedies, or out of curiosity. One interviewee reported that logging interests in the 1950s actively encouraged the extermination of these birds, saying that they were destructive to valuable timber, and actually supplied poison to smear on the birds' foraging trees. Similar poisoning campaigns had been waged against the Mexican wolves and grizzly bears in these mountains, and both of these subspecies are now gone. The article in the Auk—"Film documentation of the probably extinct Imperial Woodpecker (Campephilus imperialis)"—by Martjan Lammertink, Tim Gallagher, Ken Rosenberg, John Fitzpatrick, and Eric Liner of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Jorge Rojas-Tomé of Organización Vida Silvestre and Patricia Escalante of Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM)—analyzes the film and provides details about the 1950s expeditions of William L. Rhein and the 2010 Cornell Lab follow-up expedition.

Outstanding! If an amateur ornithologist could obtain footage of Imperial Woodpecker with a hand held movie camera, on a quite modest expedition in 1956, makes you wonder why leading professional ornithologists with access to high tech equipment and large research budgets could not obtain any evidence for the continued existence of Ivory-billed Woodpecker in the first decade of the 21st Century.
By Martjan Lammertink (not verified) on Thu, 17/11/2011 - 19:11
Jonathan, Good question. Rhein's filming of the Imperial Woodpecker was achieved not after one modest expedition but after three expeditions in 1953, 1954, and 1956, totaling 18 weeks of effort. In the first two years, multiple individuals of Imperial Woodpecker were seen multiple times, including perched birds, but could not be filmed. In 1956 Rhein finally filmed an Imperial Woodpecker, in nine takes that all start with a perched bird. In comparison, in Arkansas in spring 2004 over a period of 12 weeks by a relatively small, ad-hoc response team, 6 brief sighting were made of a bird in flight, and one poor video was made. Certainly if perched birds were seen during that time, better documentation could have been obtained. The larger, organized effort you refer to demonstrated that from early 2005 no Ivory-billed Woodpecker remained resident in the sightings area, but that does not disprove the validity of the 2004 sightings. There is a significant difference in ease of observing and filming between inundated Arkansas swamp forest and dry open pine-oak parkland of the Sierra Madre Occidental. Finally, it is of note that after successfully filming the Imperial Woodpecker, Rhein in 1959 observed an Ivory-billed Woodpecker in the Florida panhandle (Jackson 2002, Birds of North America), but did not obtain film documentation of that sighting.

Martjan, Well done on locating the place where the film was taken.Important that we have a timeline from the habitat from then to present. I would expect this bird to go extinct before the ivory bill due to range and ease of finding and as mentioned the deliberate killing.The fact Rhein saw an IvoryBill in Florida in 59 is the most important thing.Its pretty obvious birds were breeding in the panhandle,and from 59 until present plenty of forest remained,logging had fell off and trophy hunting stopped.If IvoryBills do persist (i think its probable,just)then the panhandle must at the least of been/is the last stronghold. The main point i always think is the idea the singer tract was the only place left,yet Khun saw 3 birds miles from the singer flying away from it.Plus over 20 fledgelings left the tract over 7 years.They dispersed somewhere,but where?.
By Mike Burk (not verified) on Fri, 28/10/2011 - 20:38
I read this article yesterday after seeing it on msn.com, It reminded me of some pictures I took on my last trip to Mexico in the fall of 2009. I believe that I have 4 pictures of an Imperial Woodpecker that I took of a bird that caught my eye because of it's large size. Not sure if I will get a response but I know where I was and what I was doing when I spotted the bird. I can even point out the exact tree that the bird was foraging on at the time of the pic. I was unaware of its rarity until now.

"...makes you wonder why leading professional ornithologists with access to high tech equipment and large research budgets could not obtain any evidence for the continued existence of Ivory-billed Woodpecker in the first decade of the 21st Century." Because, unfortunately, the Ivory-billed Woodpecker is also [almost surely] extinct.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -- The Denver Broncos have signed former Chargers running back Jacob Hester to take the spot opened when Willis McGahee went on injured reserve.
The Broncos also signed Jeremiah Johnson back to their practice squad Monday.
Hester, a third-round pick out of LSU in 2008, played fullback for San Diego for four years. He had 94 rushes for 319 yards and also caught 55 passes for 308 yards.
He'll join Knowshon Moreno, Lance Ball and Ronnie Hillman as the fourth running back on Denver's 53-man roster.
McGahee, who injured his right knee last week, is eligible to return to the active roster for the AFC title game if the Broncos advance that far.
Johnson spent the entire season on the practice squad before being cut last week.

The Bum Deal
this wiki
The Bum Deal is the final mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given to protagonist Victor Vance by undercover cop Bryan Forbes from the abandoned apartment complex in Little Havana, Vice City
Lance and Victor go to the house they've tied Bryan Forbes, looking for more information on a big shipment coming to Vice City. Forbes tells them that the contact who knows about the shipment is at the White Stallionz Bar. Victor and Lance drive over to the bar but while entering they're surrounded by gay white supremacist Bikers who attack them. After all the Bikers are dead, the Vance brothers leave the bar to go and get Forbes. But upon arriving at the house, Forbes has untied himself and attempts to escape. They chase him and Victor kills Forbes as well as dropping Lance at his hotel.
Mission objectives
In order to completc the mission the player must:
- Go to the White Stallionz Bar
- Enter the bar
- Take out the Stallionz
- Go back to the derelict building
- Take out Forbes
- Take Lance back to his hotel
Post mission pager message
Aunt Enid: Lance tells me he's running things down there. He's such a good kid...
There is no reward for completing this mission but the mission From Zero to Hero is unlocked, however it only becomes available once the mission Snitch Hitch is completed.
- As with the previous mission, Leap and Bound, whatever vehicle is brought to the mission trigger point remains available after the initial cutscene. Using a motorcycle (preferably a PCJ-600 as opposed to an automobile makes chasing and killing Forbes easier since bikes allow forward drive-bys. Victor has the option of taking one of the Stallionz' bikes after the gunfight.
- This missions plot may be a parody of a recurring joke in the police academy films as an antagonist/s would be lured to the gay bar under a lie e.g: best salad bar in town. In this case its the protagonists lured there using the lie that there is a contact there who knows about the shipment.
- The Wintergreen, Freeway, and Ventoso in this mission all have higher horsepower.

At Uncyclopedia, writing articles is not a requirement, but it certainly is a fun and easy way to express your creativity. To write an article, it's recommended that you start it in your userspace (for example, User:SecondChanceForMe/Article about stuff) so you can edit it at your leisure. If you decide to create it in the cold world of mainspace, make sure it is in accordance with the policies laid out above, and if you're not done put the "Work-In-Progress" template - {{construction}} - onto it as well.

About your sig
I just created one for you at User:SecondChanceForMe/sig. It's nothing exciting, but if you want to use it change your preferences to have your sig as
{{subst:nosubst|User:SecondChanceForMe/sig}}. Also tick the I want to use wiki text in my signature box if it's unticked. As I said, it's nothing exciting, but it means you can sign a page with four tildes (~~~~) which will leave a copy of your sig and a timestamp. Once you have a little more wiki-fu there are funkier things you can do with your sig (like mine), but for now the main thing to remember is that it should have your username, a link to your user page, and a link to your talk page. There are a few more things about it here. Pup 06:34 04 Mar '12

If the lane is too narrow for a vehicle and bike to safely travel side-by-side within the lane, then ANY position within that lane is okay (and legal). Check your state's "far-to-the-right" law for details.
Further left, maybe even left of center in some cases, might be more effective in encouraging overtaking traffic to change lanes to pass.
Riding too far right in a narrow lane is an open invitation for close passing.

Vol State Student from Haiti Wins Statewide Service Award
Submitted on May 01, 2012 at 9:00 AM
Jean Bildad Michel received his VISA to study in the United States on the morning of Tuesday, January 12, 2010. Just a few hours later his country of Haiti was hit by a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake. Friends and classmates perished in the quake. His sister was severely injured. He stayed at her side for days waiting for medical help. Michel did manage to make it to the United States to attend school at Volunteer State Community College and now the White House student has been awarded the Harold M. Love Community Service Award by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. It's awarded to just a few college students in Tennessee.
"I went back to Haiti after being in the United States for a while and I couldn't even sleep," said Michel. "There was so much that needed to be done."
Michel took action and enlisted help from friends, supporters and students in Tennessee. He worked with First Baptist Church of White House and other donors across the country to build a school in Haiti. It started out as nothing more than a tent and a teacher, and has grown to include several teachers, staff and a building for nearly 400 students. Kimberley Reed-Bracey was Michel's sponsor in the U.S. and the force behind getting him to America. He calls her his American Mom.
"He's so humble. He gives all credit to God," Reed-Bracey said. "He's one of the only people I have met in my life who doesn't get caught up in the ego thing."
Michel works with friends in Haiti on a mission that was actually started before the Earthquake. Through the "Prosperity of God Mission" they provide English classes and other services in his village. White House First Baptist Church recently held a 5K run to collect funds for an upcoming Haitian mission trip. They have joined with churches across the country to provide a range of support, all focused on empowering Haitians to help themselves. Michel has also worked on aid efforts with the VISA international student association and the Collegiate Ministry student group at Vol State. They're sending sewing machines to Haiti to give women an opportunity to earn a living.
Michel is transferring to Cumberland University this summer to continue his education and pursue a very practical dream.
"I was the first person in my family to attend high school and college," said Michel. "I want to be a nurse to help my people with all of the issues they have there."
The individuals selected to receive recognition with the Harold M. Love Award represent the many dimensions of community service - volunteer work, public service, charitable service and leadership roles in community organizations. The students honored each year are chosen from colleges and universities across the state.
For information on how you can help with the Haitian relief efforts visit Prosperity of God Ministries on Facebook.

A mother who threatened to "Seek revenge on police" is now in custody, police tell 11 News.
That mother's son, Robert Kresky, was shot and killed by Springs police last month when he wouldn't pull over in the stolen car he was driving.
Thursday, investigators tell us they received a tip that Kresky's mother was driving around with a shotgun, looking for revenge against police officers.
Police had been keeping an eye on that woman since around noon Thursday. They were watching for a stolen car she was reportedly driving around in.
When she got into the stolen SUV, an officer tried to pull her over.
She then sped off through a parking lot, crossed the westbound lanes of Platte Avenue, and tried to cross over a median. But in her attempt to get away, she crashed into a tree and became stuck. That's when police made their move and arrested 45-year-old Donna Quintana.
Both eastbound and westbound lanes of Platte were closed for about a hour while police were investigating. We asked police if they found any weapons in the stolen car; they said no.
But they did tell 11 News that the SUV was stolen back in November from Fountain. They think it's connected to a car theft ring they've been investigating for several weeks in El Paso County.
We don't know much more about the theft ring, but they are investigating if the driver, Quintana, is linked to it.
She was arrested Thursday night for driving a stolen car and eluding police. She also had some outstanding misdemeanor warrants.

List of violations
If you find your name on this list, please do not remove it — we check user pages and contributions before taking any action, so feel free to post a response/explanation on an appropriate page, such as your own talk page. Removing your name from this list shows a lack of trust in our judgment, and will most likely increase your chances of getting a ban!
This is not a "Most Wanted" list, and viewers don't memorize everybody who appears on the list.
Server pages are generally better policed by their users, and we do not like to get involved in such disputes. Vandalism is not the same as a disagreement, and we encourage you to work out the problem on related talk pages rather than reporting them here.
Do not add entries as "suspects", that designation is only for use by admins who have investigated the person in question.
Do add additions to the top, or else they might be seen as old and generally ignored.

About reverting vandalism
|Warning templates
If you wish to revert vandalism, open the last correct version (by clicking on the date), hit edit on that page and save it with an appropriate note!
However, it is worth noting that admins can quickly revert changes with one click, but only if it is the last edit. If you have better things to do than undo all their edits, you can just add the vandal's name here and we will block them. Once added to the list a 'contribs' link appear, giving quick access to a list of all their contributions. In that case we can open each revert link and revert all their edits in one fell swoop.
Therefore there's no desperate need to try to undo their works unless:
- The page is high profile
- It looks like no admins are around
- You have a reason to contribute to an article that has been vandalized
There's no need spend all your time undoing vandalism - just make sure they're on the above list!
Thank you for all your assistance, everyone.
Adding suspects or vandals to the list
How to add a new month
Very simple, add the following (replace
<month> and
<year> with appropriate month and year):
==== <month> <year> ====
{| {{WoWWiki:Known vandals/Table}}
- <new suspect/vandal...>
How to add a new suspect
Also easy to do. Just add the {{suspect}} template in the appropriate month/year at the top:
- ==== <month> <year> ====
- {| {{WoWWiki:Known vandals/Table}}
{{suspect|<suspect user name>}} <optional comment>
- <other suspects/vandals...>
- |}
Note that underscores are helpful. If a user has a space in his name, it may cause problems with the template, but this problem should have been eliminated.
How to add a new vandal
Also easy to do. Just add the {{vandal}} template in the appropriate month/year at the top:
- ==== <month> <year> ====
- {| {{WoWWiki:Known vandals/Table}}
{{vandal|<vandal user name>}} <optional comment>
- <other suspects/vandals...>
- |}
Note that underscores are helpful. If a user has a space in his name, it may cause problems with the template, but this problem should have been eliminated.
Administrator-only actions
When a user is marked as a vandal, an admin will investigate the claim (usually by reviewing the accused vandal's contributions) and follow the policy. This may include reverting acts of vandalism and informing the user on their talk page that they have been accused of vandalism, if their contributions don't seem to be overt vandalism.
In addition, admins can do a few things the average user cannot to deal with vandalism:
- Use the [rollback] link to quickly revert vandalism (if it was the last edit on an article).
- Use the Special:Blockip page to ban/block the user from editing for a period of time (based on policy).
- Use the move tab in situations where a regular user might not be able to, to maintain the history of a vandalized article.
- Use the protect tab to give a reprieve to a frequently vandalized article, assuming it doesn't undergo frequent necessary updates.
If a vandal has caused massive disruption, use the "if bot" link when reverting vandalism — it will cause the vandalism (and the rollback) to become tagged as a "bot edit" and hidden from the RC list by default.
Blocking a vandal
After an admin has investigated they can ban/block the user according to policy by using the {{block}} template:
{{block|<blocked vandal user name>}} <optional comment> + <additional comment> + <ban time>
An admin may add some extra information when the block happens or at a later time such as ban/block time length, date/time of unblock or date/time when an unblock occured.
- Adding block duration time/date
- {{block|<blocked vandal user name>|time=<block time or unblock date/time>}}
- Adding unblock time/date when or if block expires
- {{block|<blocked vandal user name>|unblocked=<date/time when unblock occurred>}}
Making a suspect
If the user subsequently contacts an admin with a reasonable explanation for the act (falsely accused, mistaken edit, misunderstood policy, etc.) and the admin is convinced the user has reformed or sufficiently explained their actions, the admin can use the {{suspect}} template to put then on a sort of probation (and clear the ban/block, if warranted):
{{suspect|<suspected vandal user name>}} <optional comment> + <additional comment>
Identifying fake spam cleaners
Thanks to CJ for noticing these "sneaky bots".
Here are easy steps to identify fake spam cleaners:
- Go to the history page of the article that was supposedly cleaned.
- Click the left radio button next to the entry you think was the last non-spam edit (spammers usually have red user links, since they're not real users).
- Click the right radio button next to the entry of the "fake spam cleaner" edit.
- Click the "Compare selected versions" button.
If you see lots of spam remaining, this user is probably a "fake spam cleaner".
Put them on the vandals list!

Another Former Cub Joins John Vander Wal Tour of Duty
John Vander Wal was the hitting equivalent of a 'loogy': an average big leaguer whose left-handed swing kept in the game until he was 38.
His lifetime career average vs. right-handed pitching is .267 with an .819 OPS. He also amassed 126 career pinch hits, 17 of which were home runs.
Vander Wal never played for the Cubs but frequently played against the North Siders while spending the later half of his career on a rust belt tour of the NL Central. First Pittsburgh, then Milwaukee and finally Cincinnati (2004).
Jim Edmonds followed Vander Wal's lead four years later when he left St. Louis and ended up with the Cubs in May of 2008 at the ripe age of 38.
Chicago parted ways with Edmonds after one season despite his 19 HR, 49 RBI and 135 OPS+ in 85-games. He took the next year off and then signed with Milwaukee, who in turn traded Edmonds to the Reds in August of 2010; his 'John Vander Wal Tour of Duty' now complete.
Corey Patterson is another who's stepped into Vander Wal's footprints. A lefty batter who broke in with the Cubs and later bounced from Cincinnati to Milwaukee to St. Louis (among other stops).
And now another left-handed journeyman, and former Cub, is on the brink of turning the Vander Wal trick. Cesar Izturis, 33, who played for the Cubs (2006-07), the Pirates (2007), St. Louis (2008) and Milwaukee (2012) has signed a minor league deal with the Reds.
In the name of John Vander Wal, who's next! Louis Valbuena, Tony Campana, Brett Jackson?
