Stephen Kress is Vice-President for Bird Conservation for the National Audubon Society, Director of the Audubon Seabird Restoration Program and Director of the Hog Island Audubon Camp. His career has focused on developing techniques for managing colonial nesting seabirds. In this role, he manages 13 seabird nesting islands in Maine that are home to more than 42,000 seabirds of 27 species. Each year his program trains about 20 interns; hundreds of professional seabird biologists can trace their first interest in seabirds to Project Puffin. Methods first developed in Maine such as chick translocations and social attraction are now standard practice worldwide. Dr. Kress received his Ph.D. from Cornell University and his Master's and undergraduate degrees from Ohio State University.
The Smithsonian Marine Station (SMS) at Fort Pierce is a center for research and education in the marine sciences, specializing in studies of biodiversity and ecology of the marine and estuarine ecosystems of central and south Florida.

John spent his youth in the fog in San Francisco playing in the halls of the Steinhart Aquarium, the California Academy of Sciences and the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park. On weekends with favorable tides, his family drove up the coast to spend the afternoon "tidepooling." And for vacations they backpacked in the Marble Mountains, Sierra and Cascades, wherever they were least likely to encounter others on foot. Only later did he realize that not all young boys had fathers who took great joy and pride in identifying and telling stories about most of the flora and fauna of the western states. Curiosity about nature, how it works, and why—instilled by these early experiences—formed the foundation of what was to come.
A biology major at Lewis and Clark college with an intense interest in literature and philosophy, John was headed to medical school when he discovered the concept of natural selection, which he still thinks is the most important and powerful idea in all of western thought. An almost random single application to grad school at Cornell University resulted in an acceptance letter followed quickly by a nearly non-stop road trip across the US (an inordinate time spent crossing Montana!) in a VW bug loaded to the headliner with a stereo and speakers, all the best LPs from the 60's, and other essentials.
An early field course in methods in behavior and ecology transported John from the dark cold days of an Ithaca spring to the much warmer and sunnier Gulf Coast of Florida where he first saw and studied fiddler crabs. But primate behavior, particularly howler monkey social behavior, had become John's passion (why DO they howl?), so John first had to find out first-hand how difficult it is to study big mammals in the tropics. Tired of looking up with craned neck high in the canopy at silhouettes of what he thought were howler monkeys doing uncertain things, he instead waited for the tide to recede, opened a lawn chair, picked up a pair of binoculars, and proceeded to spend the next 40 years—30 of those in Panama at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute—observing and doing experiments in the field to understand the reproductive behavior and ecology of fiddler crabs.

Increase in minimum wage = higher consumer prices............inflation
it's to help unions increase their wages, that's what this issue is all about
get real
What? Rush is not a news source, he calls himself an entertainer. He comments on the news, he is not a news broadcaster........he says that himself
what a crap story
"Most Americans who claim to be conservative don't know what a real conservative is."
very true Sully.
like I said earlier, young Republicans are Libertarians. They see that there isn't much difference between the parties. But, they do see that there is to much Government in everybody's life.
Well, don't know about anyone on this thread, but I am a conservative and on obamacare since I was laid off in Jan. I went through an independent insurance agent and they did everything for me, i.e. obamacare webpage, signing me up, etc.... very easy. I could have chose the free high deductible plan with no copays, but I chose the BCBS Select @ $125 a month for my wife and me. These plans are based on income, when my income goes up I will pay more. So, my point is, yes the rates are low because the incomes are low.........the taxpayer picks up the difference. I also asked the Ins Agent, "what was in it for her?" she responded by saying "my commissions are paid like any other insurance policy" so, the taxpayer also pays her commissions

Jim Carrey, Tutu Funny in SNL's 'Black Swan' Spoof
You know a serious diva of the dance is in the studio because of the swan wings tattooed on his back (wait, are those buffalo wings?). And he means business, hissing at his rival, Nina, like a crazed Canadian goose. Carrey, looking fit at 48, had a good time with all his 'SNL' sketches, reminding viewers of his early glory days on 'In Living Color' when his over-the-top physicality and I'll-try-anything versatility made him a series standout.
And now, Jim Carrey in a tutu.

Hahaha that's the funniest skit I've seen on SNL in years. Black Swan was an incredible movie. Natalie Portman deserves an Oscar for her performance.

I agree it was a twisted but good movie. Natalie Portman does deserve an Oscar.

Not since Justin Timberlake shimmied on 'Saturday Night Live' as one of Beyonce's 'Single Ladies' dancers has a guest host made skintight black spandex so goofy. Enter Jim Carrey, stage right, all limbered up for a silly send-up of the intense Natalie Portman ballet drama 'Black Swan.'
I love this , So does My boyfriend .he is almost 11year older than me .i met him via age'lessmate.c'om a nice place for seeking age le ss love.which gives you a chance to make your life better and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive young girls and treat you like a king. Maybe you wanna check it out or tell your friends..

The Black Swan skit with Carrey was hilarious! Funniest skit I have seen on SNL in a long time.
- Sunday 09 JanuaryBy ed
he makes me sick hes not funny
- Sunday 09 JanuaryBy tygrrrress
Not the least bit funny. I turned on the show hoping with Carrey in it, it'd be funny, nope, the show went right for raunch. Whenever a program goes for sex and potty jokes, it's because there's no writing talent to hold it up. SNL just can't be what it was in the days of Belushi.
- Sunday 09 JanuaryBy Marvin H
The show was generally bad, and it took Jim Carrey to save most of the sketches. What happened? "Find your power" Ugh! The 2nd hand news and the bird and fish sketches? Double ugh!
- Sunday 09 JanuaryBy Hmmm
And that's why Jenny left Jim. What an eccentric, stupid azz!

Nothing funny about Jim Carrey the guys an idiot.

he has no talent, just wastes air !

I like Jim Carrey, however I don't think that was a good role for him to play.

That was good, but the Justin Timberlake skit had me laughing so hard....I haven't laughed that hard since Belushi and Radner were on the show.

South Africa have all to do in the final game against hosts England when the teams meet at Nottingham for the 5th ODI to decide the winner of the series. England already have one hand on the cup with a unassailable 2-1 lead and take the momentum with them having registered 2 wins on the trot. South Africa have suffered quite a bit thanks to their wobbly middle order and will be hoping the team puts up a much better performance this time around. England England will go into the final game with a definite upper-hand having won the last two games in handsome fashion. England dominance has stemmed from the fact that their batting line-up has been in good form, barring a few minor hiccups. Ian Bell, Jonathan Trott and Eoin Morgan have all been in good form and with the likes of Alastair Cook, Craig Kieswetter and Ravi Bopara to support them, England will not worry much about their run-making. Their bowlers too have given the home fans much to smile about, Jade Dernbach, Jimmy Anderson and James Tredwell have all contributed heavily with the ball and that will look to continue their form in the final game. England's major worry will be the form of Ravi Bopara but the right hander has chipped in with the ball which should help him keep his place in the XI. South Africa The Proteas' batting has left a lot to be desired. The team has been heavily dependent on Hashim Amla and even though the classy right-hander has sparkled the rest have only flattered to deceive. Barring Amla, none of the batsmen have been able to cross the 100 run mark in the matches played so far. South Africa will have to pull up their socks and deliver a much improved batting performance if they are to tie the series. On the bowling front, South Africa do not have any major concerns but will hope one of their main bowlers hit top form in the final game.

A 1,800-year-old Roman bathing pool was recently uncovered in archaeological
excavations in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem ahead of the construction of a
ritual bath for men (miqve).The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA), who
conducted the excavations at the initiative of the Jerusalem Municipality and
the Moriah Company for the Development of Jerusalem, say that the bathing pool
was probably part of a bathhouse used by the Tenth Legion – the very same Roman
soldiers who destroyed the Second Temple.RELATED:Egyptian archaeologists unearth 4,500 year old tombJewish Quarter: Arabic inscription foundThe discovery sheds light on
the scope of Aelia Capitolina, the city that was founded on the Second Temple
period ruins of Jerusalem, that defined the character of ancient Jerusalem as we
know it today."We were surprised to discover an ancient bathhouse
structure right below the spot where a miqve is to be built," said Dr. Ofer
Sion, excavation director on behalf of the IAA. "The bathhouse tiles, which are
stamped with the symbols of the Tenth Legion "Fretensis" – LEG X FR, were found
in situ and it seems that they were used to cover a rock-hewn water channel
located at the bottom of the pool. The hundreds of terra cotta roof tiles that
were found on the floors of the pool indicate it was a covered structure," he
noted."It seems that the bathhouse was used by [soldiers of the Tenth
Legion] who were garrisoned there after suppressing the Bar Kokhba uprising in
135 CE, when the pagan city Aelia Capitolina was established," Sion continued.
"We know that the Tenth Legion's camp was situated within the limits of what is
today the Old City, probably in the region of the Armenian Quarter. This
assumption is reinforced by the discovery of the bathhouse in the nearby Jewish
Quarter which shows that the multitude of soldiers was spread out and that they
were also active outside the camp, in other parts of the Old City."An
unusual imprint on one of the roof tiles caught the attention of the
archaeologists."Another interesting discovery that caused excitement
during the excavation is the paw print of a dog that probably belonged to one of
the soldiers," Sion said. "The paw print was impressed on the symbol of the
legion on one of the roof tiles and it could have happened accidentally or have
been intended as a joke."Dr. Yuval Baruch, the Jerusalem District
archaeologist for the IAA, noted the importance of the discovery, which sheds
light on the study of post-destruction Jerusalem."Despite the very
extensive archaeological excavations that were carried out in the Jewish
Quarter, so far not even one building has been discovered there that belonged to
the Roman legion," he said. "The absence of such a find led to the conclusion
that Aelia Capitolina, the Roman city which was established after the
destruction of Jerusalem, was small and limited in area."

Dog shoots owner in Florida
Updated On: Feb 27 2013 12:23:56 PM CST
A Florida man was shot and wounded by his dog, who's walked away without charges.
Gregory Dale Lanier, 35, of Frostproof, Fla., and his dog were in his truck Saturday when his dog kicked a loaded gun on the floor, shooting him in the leg, the Highlands Today newspaper reported.
Lanier told authorities he didn't know his .380 pistol was loaded.
Sebring police have ruled the shooting accidental, and Lanier was not seriously injured, according to the Highlands Today.
In December 2011, 78-year-old Billy E. Brown was shot in the thigh by his dog as he drove to a deer hunting spot in Pasco County, according to The Huffington Post.
And this past September, a hunter in France had to have has right hand amputated after his dog shot his gun while apparently attempting to "cuddle" his master, BBC News reported.

Possible sinkhole leads to building collapse at Florida resort
Updated On: Aug 12 2013 09:42:15 AM EDT
An apparent sinkhole has caused a villa at a Clermont resort to partially collapse while another section of it is sinking.
Lake County Fire Rescue Battalion Chief Tony Cuellar said about 30 percent of the three-story villa collapsed around 3 a.m. Monday.
Images: Building collapses into possible sinkhole
Authorities were called to the Summer Bay Resort on U.S. Highway 192 late Sunday where they found the building was making popping noises and windows were breaking.
"I was walking into the room and I head 'bang, bang, bang' and glass breaking," said resort guest Maggie Tamry. "And I ran back to the car and I told my family, we have three toddlers with us, 'Jump in the car, I have a bad feeling.' I thought someone was getting into an altercation."
Cuellar said the hole is in the middle of the villa and is about 40 to 50 feet in diameter. He says authorities think it's getting deeper but can't yet tell if it's growing outward.
The president of Summer Bay Resort Paul Caldwell said 48 units had to be evacuated, but that no injuries have been reported.
There are 900 units on the property. Displaced guests were moved to other units on site.
A geotechnical team has been called to the resort to assess the sinkhole.

House to examine proposal for United Nations regulation of the Internet
**Written by Doug Powers
The United Nations has a simple business plan when it comes to wresting control of as much of the world as possible: Pronounce yourself the global arbiter of human rights, then declare everything a human right.
The UN has already said Internet access is a human right, so naturally the best way to police that human right is to put the UN in charge of the Internet.
A House subcommittee will soon consider this possibility:
The proposal is backed by China, Russia, Brazil, India and other UN members, and would give the UN's International Telecommunication Union (ITU) more control over the governance of the Internet.
It's an unpopular idea with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle in Congress, and officials with the Obama administration have also criticized it.
"We're quite concerned," Larry Strickling, the head of the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration, said in an interview with The Hill earlier this year.
He said the measure would expose the Internet to "top-down regulation where's it's really the governments that are at the table but the rest of the stakeholders aren't."
The House Energy and Commerce subcommittee on Communications and Technology will hold the hearing and hear testimony from Robert McDowell, a Republican commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC); David Gross, a former State Department official; and Sally Shipman Wentworth, the senior manager of public policy for the nonprofit Internet Society.
Because when you think "Internet freedom" you think China and Russia. Don't worry though, the UN wouldn't have a Internet "kill switch" (they call theirs an "enemies of human rights emergency denial-of-service button" — definitely not the same thing).
What's to consider? Nancy Reagan's "just say 'no'" rule applies to anything that would grant the United Nations more authority over anything.
A pair of Congressmen have already introduced legislation opposing any resolution allowing UN control of the Internet, but the above story is something to keep an eye on — as is this.

Lisa Henning won the seventh weekly honor for the Tigers this season on Monday.
Nov. 18, 2013
COLUMBIA, Mo. - On the heels of one of the most impressive victories in college volleyball this season, Mizzou senior two-time All-American Lisa Henning (Blue Springs, Mo.) has been named Southeastern Conference Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday (Nov. 18). The award for Henning is her second of the season and is the fifth time in her career that she has received with a weekly conference honor. This is the seventh SEC weekly award for seventh-ranked Mizzou this season. The award comes after Henning posted 17 kills on .500 hitting in a huge win at No. 5 Florida last Friday.
"I just can't say enough about what this team has meant to me this season," Henning said. "We obviously did something great as a team last weekend and it just so happens that the league is recognizing me. Anyone on our team could have gotten this award after a win like we had at Florida. Molly (Kreklow) was phenomenal and gave us great balls to hit all night at Florida. She is the best setter in the country and I am so fortunate to have developed such a great connection over the last four years. She makes my job really easy."
Henning was outstanding last weekend, posting 4.00 kills per set on .452 hitting as Mizzou improved to a national-best 31-0 and seized control of the SEC Championship race by improving to 15-0 in league play. She had 17 kills on .500 hitting in Mizzou's sweep of No. 5 Florida last Friday night. In a televised game, she led Mizzou to its first-ever road win over a top-five team as the Tigers became earned just the sixth team to win in Florida's O'Connell Center since Mary Wise took over Florida in 1991. It was also the first time that a team had swept Florida in 22 years at home.
Against Florida, Henning came up with big play after big play. With the Tigers down 22-21 in the first set, she tallied a huge block to tie the set and Mizzou won the next three points to claim the set, one of which was a Henning kill. In the third set, she rallied Mizzou from down 16-12 to a 25-23 set win. With Mizzou trailing 21-20, Henning tallied four of the Tigers' final five kills in the set to help Mizzou complete the sweep. She then came back and had seven kills on .333 hitting in a three-set sweep at South Carolina.
For all the latest on Mizzou volleyball, stay tuned to MUTigers.com and follow the team on twitter @MizzouVB.

And Obama isn't budging on his insistence on higher tax revenue along with spending cuts.
The White House has warned that the broad-based $85 billion in cuts could affect everything from commercial flights to classrooms to meat inspections. The cuts would slash domestic and defense spending, leading to forced unpaid days off for hundreds of thousands of workers.
But the impact won't be immediate, giving negotiators some breathing room to work on a deal.
That is, if both sides decide to actually start negotiating.
No serious talks to avert the budget cuts are under way, even among White House and congressional staff. There have been no face-to-face meetings between Obama and Republicans this year. And there's been just one known phone call this year between Obama and the top congressional Republicans, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Instead, Obama is focusing his efforts on rallying public support for his sequester offset plan, including a trip Tuesday to Newport News, Va., an area that could be hurt by the defense cuts. His message to America: The cuts will be drastic; they'll result in job loss, and Republicans will be to blame.
Polling suggests the president's strategy may be working. A new Washington Post-Pew Research poll showed that 45 percent of Americans would blame congressional Republicans if the cuts took effect, while 32 percent would blame Obama. An additional 13 percent said both sides would share in the blame.
But getting the public to blame Republicans doesn't ensure the president gets what he wants in this latest budget battle. It could also deepen the mistrust between the president and congressional Republicans.
And that may put Obama right back where he started: still searching for a way to fight a Republican "fever" that may have eased but has hardly broken.

Oman ministry adopts management model
Civil Service Ministry announces embrace of European quality management model
Muscat: Breaking new ground in its quest to boost productivity and efficiency in the public sector, Oman's Ministry of Civil Service on Saturday became the first government entity to embrace Europe's acclaimed EFQM-based framework for quality management.
A circular issued by Shaikh Khalid Bin Omar Al Marhoon, Minister of Civil Service, directed all departments within the ministry to adopt the European Foundation for Quality Management (EFQM), an excellence model implemented by more than 30,000 organisations in Europe.
First launched in 1999, the EFQM Excellence Model is based on eight Fundamental Concepts of Excellence. Designed to help organisations continually improve and achieve higher levels of performance, EFQM provides networking and mutual learning experiences, offers education, recognises achievements and supports the implementation of best tools and practices.
Brussels-based EFQM is a non-profit membership foundation that serves as the custodian of the EFQM Excellency Model, a non-prescriptive management framework that is widely used in public and private sector organisations throughout Europe and beyond.
Oman News Agency (ONA) quoted Al Marhoon as saying the initiative will help employees sync their personal career and growth objectives with the overall mission and vision of the ministry. Individual performances will be measured and excellence recognised through a system of incentives and rewards. The Excellence Model will also form the cornerstone of the ministry's human resources development programme, with training and skills development set to receive top priority, he stated.
The government has tasked the Supreme Planning Council, the country's top long-range planning agency, with formulating a strategy to address productivity and efficiency issues in the public sector.

Who says a bride has to wear white on her wedding day? For South Asian brides, no color is off limits including brilliant reds, blues and golds. For the past 17 years, Vastra in Hicksville has been helping brides from New York and across the country find the perfect dress for their special day.
There's no lack of Indian sari boutiques in Hicksville but according to Marketing Director Prachi Jain, what sets Vastra apart from the others is its emphasis on one of a kind, hand-embroidered Indian dresses.
When a bride comes in, they can either peruse through one of the 85 dresses Vastra has in-house or work with the owner Poonam Jain (Prachi's mother) to come up with a one-of-a-kind design. Brides can choose every single detail, including the color, fabric, beading and pattern.
"It helps the bride have a say in the dress down to the very thread. Brides can take control of the whole process," says Prachi. "They love the hand-embroidery because it gives them a lot more control over the dress. When you pick something up at the store, you have to deal with the designs, but with a hand-crafted custom dress, you can choose every layer of the embroidery."
The dress design is then sent to Vastra's 30 person factory in New Delhi where it takes anywhere from three to six months to complete. During that time, brides can Skype to check up on the progress of their dress.
Brides make up 70 percent of Vastra's clientele and while for a long time they were strictly of Indian or South Asian origin, there's been a huge increase recently in American brides.
"We have a lot more brides who are marrying into Indian families," says Prachi. "A lot of them know what they want, but if they don't we guide them as to what they should wear and the customs and rituals."
Brides often opt for Indian dresses such as lehengas or saris for the day of the wedding and anarkalis and patialas for other ceremonies. Bridesmaids are often outfitted in salwars. Because an Indian wedding typically consists of several ceremonies over a few days, a bride will often leave Vastra with three dresses for herself, plus one or two for each of her bridesmaids (the average is 11 dresses per bridal party). Bridesmaids' dresses generally range from $250 to $800 each and the bride's dresses can range from $1,500 and up.
But for Poonam, the brides and their families are more than just customers, they become friends. Since opening her store in 1989, Poonam has formed a close bond with many of her clients who have come back time and time again, attending their weddings, sweet 16s and other functions.
"The customers don't just come in and go out, but we get to know them one on one. We develop a strong relationship with the client because we spend a lot of time with them," says Prachi. "They're not just customers but friends."
Vastra is located at 17 E. Old Country Rd, Hicksville in the Delco Plaza Shopping Center. For more information visit www.vastrahicksville.com or call 516-433-7724.

Local veterans groups and residents gathered at Hicksville Middle School Veterans Memorial Park recently to honor brave servicemen and woman, past and present. William M. Gouse Jr. Post 3211 hosted Hicksville's annual Veterans Day ceremony on Nov. 11.
The ceremonies began with the pledge and national anthem sung by Hicksville High School student Cassie Pursoo, accompanied by trumpeter Conner Hoelzer. Monsignor Thomas Costa from Our Lady of Church in Hicksville gave the invocation.

On Nov. 10, a dedication ceremony was held to celebrate the completion of a beautiful new two-story house in Hicksville. However, while new dwellings are an ordinary occurrence on Long Island, this one was unique and special in a way that very few are.
The house at 77 Thorman Ave. was built in memory of Navy Lieutenant and posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Michael P. Murphy, a Long Island native who tragically died in combat while serving in Afghanistan in 2005. However, this house represents more than just the dedicated service of a man to his country; it represents the beginning of a new life full of hope for a brother-in-arms and his family as well.

Football was Mike Torrellas' heart and soul. He also liked a good Turkey Bowl.
Unfortunately, the Hicksville Crusaders co-founder wasn't able to witness the program's inaugural event, which took place Saturday, Nov. 8.
Torrellas passed away suddenly last December due to a blood clot, but the spirit and drive of the man who wore the number 53 and tragically passed at that age still surrounds the Crusaders football program.

Mintzer, a jazz saxophonist, composer, arranger, and big band leader based in Los Angeles, California, was born Jan. 27, 1953.
He is equally active in the areas of performance, composing/arranging, and music education.

NASCAR: Bristol spring weekend shifting to April
Aug 22, 2014, 5:39 PM EST
The first of NASCAR's two annual visits to the Bristol Motor Speedway has been moved back a month.
BMS announced today that its spring NASCAR weekend, which features the Food City 500 for the Sprint Cup Series and a 300-mile Nationwide Series undercard, will go off on April 17-19, 2015.
"This is a great day in the history of Bristol Motor Speedway thanks to our passionate fans," said Jerry Caldwell, BMS general manager and executive vice president, in a statement.
"[Speedway Motorsports Inc. CEO and president] Bruton and Marcus Smith and NASCAR heard the relentless plea for a true spring race date. The fans can look forward to a 2015 landmark celebration April 17-19 in Thunder Valley."
The Food City 500 has been held in March since the 2005 season, but weather conditions for the race have varied considerably.
This past March, Carl Edwards won after rain delayed the start for two hours and then delayed it again in mid-race for an additional three hours and change – causing it to end under the lights.
NASCAR.com notes that a spring date change for Bristol has been under consideration for some time, citing a Bristol (Tenn.) Herald Courier interview from last year in which Caldwell said that such a move would be "a game-changer for all of us."
"I just remind [NASCAR officials] what we're dealing with and what the race fans need," added Caldwell in the interview.
Now, Caldwell and BMS have gotten their wish.

And the Babe of the Week is…Nicky Fleites!

Nicky, Nicky, Nicky can't you see…sometimes your butt just hypnotizes thee.
Once again, the idea that no good deed goes unpunished proves itself to be true.
Food costs may be on the rise, but, according to a new survey from Gallup, Americans are still spending less in inflation-adjusted dollars on food than they have in the past.
With all the fees airlines have been packing on in the past couple years, it may seem that tickets are impossibly expensive.
But there are times when it's cheaper to buy them — and those times are fast approaching.
In all sports, many athletes stay loyal, while others want to pursue another team after some time. Does this make them a bad person, or a smart player?
Our apologies -- Sandy knocked us out of commission so we're a little late on Babe of the Week. We've dug ourselves out of the rubble here in New York, though, and we didn't forget about what's really important.
