Ken Norris commented how he discovered this species: "it was a spring day in 1950. I had one more dune to check, one just north of Punta San Felipe. As I walked the dune margin I saw a whitened skull partly protruding from the sand, buried just above the reach of the usual high tide. I couldn't identify it, except to say that it was obviously a very small porpoise or dolphin. On April 28, 1955 Ken mentions in his field notes that our way back we spotted porpoises, which I think are an undescribed species. I suspect they are the harbor porpoise, Phocoena, but of an unknown species." He was correct. With two other skulls available to Norris, all collected in San Felipe, Baja California, he and William N. McFarland described in 1958 a new species of harbor porpoise of the genus Phocoena in the Gulf of California.
The maximum length for females is 150 cm while males are slightly smaller, 145 cm. and weight is about 50 Kg. The vaquita is similar in external morphology to the harbor porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), its geographically nearest phocoenoid neighbor. However, the vaquita differs from the harbor porpoise and the other phocoenids in total length (the vaquita is smaller); the vaquita's flippers are proportionately larger; and the vaquita's dorsal fin is taller and more falcate.
The vaquita is robust in build. In profile, the head appears as a truncated cone with the posterior part of the melon (forehead) sloping inward, toward the blowhole. Anteriorly, the melon slopes abruptly to the snout tip. Generally, the pigmentation pattern is a dark gray cape, pale gray lateral field, and white ventral field. The most conspicuous features of the pigmentation are the relatively large black eye and lip patches.
View range map from IUCN Red List
Vaquitas occur mainly north of 30º45'N and west of 114º20'W. The vaquita has the smallest geographical range of any marine mammal. Its 'core area' consists of about 2235 km2 centred at Rocas Consag, some 40 km east of the town of San Felipe, Baja California. Nearly the entire population lives within a 4000 sq-km (1519 sq-mile) area. The range of the vaquita coincides with most of the Upper Gulf of California and Delta of the Colorado River Biosphere Reserve There is no evidence to indicate that the vaquita's overall range has changed in historic times.
Little is known about vaquita's ecology and behavior. Vaquitas occur in small groups of 1-3 individuals; often just a mother and calf pair. They are typically inconspicuous at the surface (they rarely splash, jump or leap) and they avoid boats. These behaviors, coupled with their small body size, and murky waters of their habitat, make them difficult to observe unless sighting conditions are ideal.
Vaquita's habitat has been described as an area of high concentrations of nutrients and high abundance of phytoplankton and zooplankton in the estuary and adjacent waters of the Upper Gulf of California which maintains a rich marine ecosystem with a diverse and abundant fauna, including seabirds and marine mammals.
Vaquitas are versatile, none-selective predators. Many prey species, such as croakers and toadfish, produce sound; vaquitas may use passive listening to locate prey.
Vaquitas live for approximately 20 years and breed for the first time between the ages of three and six. Breeding is seasonal, with most calves produced in March and April; few females appear to breed each year. Nothing is known of their mating system, although the large size of testes (almost 3% of body mass), reverse sexual dimorphism (females are bigger than males) and small group sizes that sperm competition plays an important role in the species' reproductive strategy.
Vaquitas are generalist feeders, consuming a wide variety of over 21 benthic and demersal (bottom-dwelling) teleost fishes and squids. However there are three main prey species utilized by vaquita: corvine (Isopisthus altipinnis); midshipman toadfish (Porichthys mimeticus), and squid (Lolliguncula panamensis). Because of the small sample size for studies it has not been demonstrated with certainty any differences in diets in relation to sexes or age classes. None of the primary prey of the vaquita is commercially important species, although some are taken as by-catch in shrimp trawl fisheries.
Historical abundance of the vaquita is unknown, but genetic evidence indicates that the population was never large. The most precise estimate of abundance was obtained from a cooperative Mexican-American survey conducted in 1997 that sampled the entire geographical range of the species and estimated there were 567 individuals (95% CI 177-1073).
The most recent estimate based on simultaneous visual and acoustic data gives a total vaquita abundance in 2008 was estimated to be 245 animals (CV=73%, 95%CI 68-884). The 2008 estimate was 57% lower than the 1997 estimate, an average rate of decline of 7.6%/year.
Critically Endangered
The vaquita qualifies for listing as Critically Endangered based on criteria A4d and C2a(ii).
A4d: Given what is known about fishing history in the northern Gulf of California and the vaquita's vulnerability to entanglement in gillnets, it is reasonable to assume that the porpoise population has been declining since the 1940s when gillnet fisheries became widespread in the region. The best estimate of total population size is from 1997: 567 (95% CI 177 - 1,073) (Jaramillo-Legorreta et al. 1999). The estimated annual level of mortality in the early 1990s for one of the three main fishing communities, based on reports from onboard observers (Method 1) and those observer reports combined with information from interviews with fishermen (Method 2), was 84 (95% CI: 14, 155).
The generation time for the vaquita is estimated as 10 years (Rojas-Bracho and Taylor, 1999; Taylor and Rojas-Bracho, 1999), therefore 3 generations is approximately 30 y
Incidental mortality in gillnets for fish and shrimp represents the greatest immediate threat to the survival of the species (bycatch). The only quantitative estimates of bycatch are from 1993-95 and refer to only one of the three main fishing ports: at least 39 individuals were killed per year (95% CI 14-93) using combined data from observers and interviews with fishermen. Assuming that boats from the other ports may experience similar bycatch rates, the total of annual removals is likely well above what would be sustainable. The International Committee for the Recovery of Vaquita (CIRVA) recommended, among several other recommendations, that bycatch of vaquitas must be reduced to zero as soon as possible to prevent its extinction. These conclusions have been repeatedly confirmed and reiterated by the Society for Marine Mammalogy and the Scientific Committee of the International Whaling Commission (IWC).
Of all risk factors - which include the potential for disturbance by trawling to affect the foraging, reproductive, and aggregating behaviour of vaquitas and the non-specific implications of ecological change as a result of diverting the Colorado River for urban and agricultural use and hence the loss of freshwater input to the northern Gulf - bycatch as mentioned above is unequivocally the immediate concern for this species, while the others are less well characterised and longer-term.
In 2007 Mexico's President announced the Conservation Program for Endangered Species (PROCER), which required specific Species Conservation Action Programs (PACE) for selected species. The vaquita topped the list of only five species. PACE-Vaquita, the first of its kind to be presented, is Mexico's conservation policy strategy to put into practice CIRVA's recommendations.
The central goal is to eliminate vaquita bycatch. Given that fishing is one of the most-important economic activities in the Upper Gulf of California, PACE-Vaquita has designed mechanisms to remove the fishing gear that has threatened the vaquita by:
(1) Enforcing the existing bans on gillnet fishing in the Biosphere Reserve and Refuge Area, and possibly expanding the ban to a larger protected area;
(2) Encouraging alternative methods of fishing that do not catch vaquitas; and
(3) Providing economic compensation to fishermen, including a buyout plan and assistance with starting alternative businesses.
So far the following results have been achieved:
(1) The Vaquita Refuge free of entangling and gillnets and shrimp trawlers;(2) 230 artisanal fishing boats withdrawn from fishing activities; and (3) 105 artisanal fishing boats are participating in the fishing gear replacement program.
With this program 602 fewer artisanal boats will be using gillnets. Enforcement is an important component of the recovery program. PROFEPA, the environmental watchdog of SEMARNAT, with the support of the Navy.

The economic boom of HIMSS 2010
Summary: While U.S. unemployment remains near 10%, vendors at HIMSS this year were complaining of a labor shortage. There was a carnival atmosphere on the show floor, and at the after-show parties it was 1999, not 2010.
Even without having spent or committed most of the HITECH Stimulus money available to it, the Department of Health and Human Services has created an economic boom at HIMSS.
This year's show in Atlanta was enormous -- Comdex-sized. Organizers estimated 26,800 registered, but walking across the crowded show floors yesterday that total seemed low.
(UPDATE: The final totals, offered Thursday morning, were more than 27,500 attendees, and more than 900 exhibitors in 359,000 sq ft of occupied exhibit space.)
While the 2008 show in Orlando would have filled the oldest and smallest hall of Atlanta's World Congress Center, this one packed both of the two large halls, which together have well over 1 million square feet of space. (This includes meeting rooms, ballrooms, and catering pantries apparently.)
Some of that space was given over to concessions, some to meeting rooms, some to the Interoperability Showcase, but over 900 vendor booths were large and filled with people.
While U.S. unemployment remains near 10%, vendors at HIMSS this year were complaining of a labor shortage. Some of the stimulus money will go toward educating health IT professionals for hospitals, clinics and vendors, but the fact is if you have these skills now finding work is easy.
There was a carnival atmosphere on the HIMSS show floor, and at the after-show parties it was 1999, not 2010.
The Hyland Software booth above, designed to look like Camden Yards but with a sports bar interior (complete with tapes of baseball highlights), was not typical, but it caught the flavor of the moment.
The software company's URL is onbase.com, which explained the theme, and customers were promised free beer as the show closed for the day.
Hyland actually made some news during the week, buying eWebhealth, which does hosted medical record workflow. But the point of the booth was celebration, an OnBase manager told me. "You don't do business at these shows." You show your customers some love.
Most booths had a distinct sameness -- how many pictures of people with stethoscopes or patients looking at heroic health givers can you stand -- and the vast majority offered variations on the same Electronic Medical Record (EMR) theme.
But given the weather -- a mix of rain and snow most of Tuesday -- and the economic storms outside, HIMSS10 was a happy place. If you're in health IT, happy days are here again.

My husband and I can't thank Dino for not only our amazing engagement pictures but our gorgeous wedding pictures.
We met Dino through a friend and I thank her every day for introducing us because having him as our photographer was the best decision I made when it came to my wedding. He always has fresh and new ideas to keep things fun and exciting.
His work is worth every single penny and I can't wait to work with him again someday. He is so professional yet so much fun at the same time. He makes you feel so relaxed and I don't know how many people have told us how awesome he was at the wedding.
Thank you again for everything!!

Dino is an amazing photographer. As we were taking our engagement photos at my family farm you could see him analyzing different locations to pose. He has unique ideas that were natural for Tom and I to pose. He had an impeccable eye for lighting and setting. He was open to our photo ideas and made recommendations for improvement that enhanced the photos quality. It is one thing to work with someone that takes amazing pictures but another to have someone that you can see really enjoys what he is doing and is good at it. He took great pictures of the two of us with my horse who is not very photogenic. I can say with confidence that Dino was a great choice for our photographer and look forward to seeing the photos of our big day next year.

Dino was absolutely amazing! Everyone had a great time interacting with him, he was great with us during our first look when everyone is antsy to get to the ceremony. He got shots I would never have even thought of. What a great eye he has. His personality is amazing, he's not a boring photographer just there to take pictures, he really got involved with the group and everyone loved him. Reaching out to Dino was the best decision I made while wedding planning, he helped me stay calm the day off even when I was sick of taking pictures :) I highly recommend him for anyone, not just locals. I've seen some destination wedding pictures he's done and they look great! Hopefully we'll have some maternity/family photos to take with him in the next few years! I can't say enough good things about him, call him, make an appointment to sit down and see some of his work!

Dino was so awesome on our wedding day! Using him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He is so easy to work with, he was so calm, fun and professional. Very real and down to earth person. The pictures he got were amazing! He came up to us and said that the sun was setting and sprinklers just came on and said he has a really good shot and told us if we wanted to do it the time was perfect or we didn't have to. We did it and it was beautiful! He is very observant of his surroundings and will tell you when he thinks a good shot will be, always thinking of the next shot. He knows all the prefect angles to make the picture look flawless. The pictures he did are so beautiful, I couldn't be more happy with them. He also got the best pictures of party! I saw pictures of things that I missed, being so busy and they are awesome! Dino was awesome, he is like a fly on the wall, you wouldn't even of known he was there, but he captured pictures of everything plus more! I will be using Dino again and would highly recommend him to anyone!! Very affordable and reasonable! You can tell that he loves what he does!

What can I possibly say about Dino and Lori? They were amazing. Dino was so down to earth, and so helpful. The best advice he gave us was to make a photo list for group pictures. I wish we spent more time on that. We rushed it at the last minute and spent more time than I wanted taking group pictures. But through it all Dino was awesome. He worked with us and did an amazing job. He knew what he wanted and how to do it with as little time as possible. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable and relaxed. He took some amazing candid pictures that made me remember exactly what i was thinking even 2 weeks later. We would have him do it all over again...He was that spectacular. I was so blessed with Dino and how he took the extra time time to take pictures of our children and even had Olivia helping him hold up the lights. He was always just a quick email or phone call away. He was so helpful with all my questions and answered them to make me relax and enjoy the day. I can not say enough wonderful things about Dino and his work. The work stands on its own also. It is breathtaking. He is an outstanding photographer.
Thank you again,

My husband and I could not have made a better decision in choosing a photographer for our wedding. Dino is the best! He and Lori were phenomenal, They were both extremely professional, creative, and a lot of fun. We never felt uncomfortable and had a blast as one of the first weddings of the season for Dino.The turn around time was extremely fast and we absolutely love all of the shots taken. We were so excited to work with Dino and he did not disappoint. It was a relief to be working with one of the best professionals in the business!!

They never rushed me and were wonderful in capturing photographs with my ring bearer (2 years old) and flower girl (3 years old). Contact with Dino was extremely easy and he provided me with a few shots edited the very next day! I am beyond happy with Dino's personality and his quality of work and would recommend him to anyone.

Dino and his crew are amazing!! They work well to make sure you get AMAZING shots and still make sure they don't take up your time to enjoy your wedding. Letting Dino's amazing mind run you will not be disappointed! His imagination and ability to see shots is crazy. Our pictures (and we have only seen a couple) exceed our expectations! They are a great crew to have hanging around you at your wedding--a blast!! Your crazy not to book Dino! His quality is beyond those who you pay 9K for and his prices are actually in budget!
I wanted to update my review because we just got our pictures back! (SO QUICK I may add! we got back from our honeymoon and there they were waiting for us!!) Dino's photos are beyond anything we expected! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The shots are amazing and we were able to relive our wedding all over again. Choosing which to put into an album may take us longer than it took to plan the wedding because they are all great!
Also, people should know when we looked for a photographer we had only a couple requirements-- (1) they are original/fun/willing to go off the beaten path with photos taken AND (2) they wouldn't be seen throughout the night (as awful as that sounds--but we have been to so many weddings where the photographer is in videographers shots, is in the way of guests seeing the ceremony and just all over the place). I will say with Dino we got everything we were looking for! I have guests that have been asking me--where was the photographer? I didn't even see him? Did he stay the whole night? And he did and was all over the place getting those fun shots out on the dance floor! That's exactly the way a professional should be and Dino is! BEST VALUE ALL AROUND!

Dino is an awesome photographer and great person. He is sooo easy to work with. Most of the night I didn't even realize he was there but the shots he got of our wedding where BEAUTIFUL. I don't know how he did what he did but I highly recommend him. You will not be sorry, unless you don't want awesome pictures. He may not be the cheapest around but honestly, I feel he really is.
If you look at the quality and you receive all the rights to all the photos and they truly will be wonderful pictures without a camera in your face all night so you can actually enjoy your day, he is worth every cent and more. I would fully recommend him to every and anyone with no doubt in my mind you will be completely satisfied. Plus it didn't take long to get the disk of all our photos by not long I mean weeks not months like it took my sister. Trust me, that makes a difference too, who wants to wait forever just for your wedding photos. You shouldn't be having your first anniversary while picking what photo you want on your wedding thank yous. That's right ladies all the rights mean you can make everyone a 5x7 thank you with a professional photo. When it comes to a once in a life time day, that you want the very best photos you can get, get Dino.

Dino recently photographed my wedding, and although his pictures speak for themselves, working with him totally surpassed my expectations. He is so easy to work with; the perfect combination of fun and professional. His photos are simply breathtaking. He managed to get several stunning formal shots, as well as hundreds of fun candid pictures. He ever interrupted the ceremony or reception, but always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. His prices, in my opinion are more than reasonable considering the amazing quality. I honestly couldn't imagine trusting anyone else to capture all of the important moments of such a big day. If you are looking for a wedding photographer you simply cannot go wrong with Dino!!

Kellie Pickler: "I Don't Need To Be Manufactured"
Think what you want about former American Idol contestant Kellie Picker's latest album 100 Proof and its striking traditionalist approach, but what may be even more interesting and inspiring than the album itself is the story behind it. After recently parting with her label Sony Music Nashville, Kellie's narrative is becoming similar to the one of Waylon Jennings, the country music Outlaw that Kellie cites as a primary influence.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kellie spoke about the arduous process she went through to release 100 Proof through Sony.
"Well, it wasn't promoted. When my album came out, I didn't even have a song out on the radio. Nobody does that. [The label was] spread thin…Recording this album, to be honest — and I don't mind saying this — the process was hell. [Sony and I] couldn't agree on songs. The thing is, my life is a country song. I don't need to be manufactured, and I don't need anyone to tell me what to say or what to sing."
Kellie, who says her influences for 100 Proof and music in general are folks like Tammy Wynette, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, and Kitty Wells, says this album was the first time she was being herself, and spoke about the pressures young artists are put under to abide by music label's interpretations of what they should be as an artist.
"Since American Idol, it's been like a blur. I've been pulled in a hundred different directions by a hundred different people. You know, signing contracts that I couldn't read, but I was 19 and green and it was, "Sign this contract or go back to working in fast food," and I didn't want to do that. When this album came out, the people that know me, my friends, went, "There's Kellie. There you are."…It's the only album that I've ever had that the critics have embraced. You know why? Because it's me."
Though 100 Proof has been a critic's favorite (including this one), it has been a commercial disappointment compared to most major label releases, selling only 74,000 copies since its release in January. Kellie says she has no desire for crossover pop success. "I wanted to make a hardcore country album…I don't give a damn about being on any other format's station…I am a diehard country music fan." And Kellie hints that an independent label may be her next move.
I've thought about the major labels versus the more independent ones. The ones that actually can probably do more for you. They have more to prove. [You want] to sign with someone that is about the music and gets you.
Who would have ever thought that American Idol's Kellie Pickler would be one carrying the country music Outlaw mantra into the modern-day context? And for folks wondering if Kellie's stint into the traditional side of country was a short-term phase, it appears her experience has only steeled her resolve to be herself. The next shoe to fall is to see if she can find people to believe in her as much as she believes in herself, and if she can enjoy the same commercial success the original Outlaws did back in the mid 70′s when they shook loose their major label chains.

Cubs-Pirates Preview
Chicago Cubs at Pittsburgh Pirates
- Since 2013, the Pirates are 9-4 at home against the Cubs including winning two-of-three at the beginning of this season. Pittsburgh's 9-4 record at home against the Cubs is its third-best home record versus any National League opponent during this time.
- After losing six of their previous nine games (eight road games), the Cubs have won six of their last eight (six home games). In these last eight games, Chicago has hit five triples and nine home runs.

By TAYLOR BECHTOLD
(AP) -- The Pittsburgh Pirates appear to be in good position to bounce back from a rare home series loss considering the last-place Chicago Cubs are coming to town.
The Cubs have other ideas following their best homestand of the season.
As the Pirates look to avoid their longest home losing streak since late April, Chicago tries to win for the sixth time in seven games Monday night.
Pittsburgh (29-33) took the series opener versus NL Central-leading Milwaukee before dropping the last two at PNC Park. Andrew McCutchen had two of the team's five hits in Sunday's 1-0 defeat and went 5 for 12 with three extra-base hits in the series.
After winning 10 of 15 in Pittsburgh heading into the set, the Pirates suffered their first home series loss since dropping the final three of a four-game set to Cincinnati from April 21-24.
"We've got to get rid of it, and got to move on," manager Clint Hurdle told the team's official website. "That's the challenge of the game at this level: to stay after it."
Hurdle's club has won six of its last seven series with the Cubs (25-35), winning two of three games in both this season. Chicago hasn't won a road series all season and has lost nine of 11 games in Pittsburgh while getting held to 21 runs and a .199 average.
That would seem to favor Pirates starter Charlie Morton (2-7, 3.31 ERA), who is 1-0 with a 1.88 ERA in his last four home matchups with the Cubs. He threw six shutout innings against them at PNC Park in a 4-3, 16-inning win April 2, though he was tagged for six runs in six innings of a 7-6 victory in Chicago six days later.
Morton didn't get a decision in either game but went on to lose his first six of the season before going 2-1 with a 2.81 ERA in his last three starts. He allowed two runs and three hits with a career high-tying nine strikeouts over five innings in a 10-3 win at San Diego last Monday.
The right-hander has a 2.72 ERA in his last nine outings against the Cubs, but they have 25 extra-base hits over their last five games and have shown signs of life.
Chicago had been unbeaten on a six-game homestand, notching a season-high five-game winning streak, before blowing a one-run lead in the eighth inning to lose the finale 4-3 to Miami on Sunday.
"I think these guys should keep their heads up," manager Rick Renteria said. "They're very disappointed right now because we felt like we were on the cusp of being able to have a perfect homestand."
Emilio Bonifacio had three hits after notching his first homer of the season Saturday, and he went 11 for 16 in the season-opening series in Pittsburgh.
Anthony Rizzo, who batted .421 with two homers on the homestand before going hitless Sunday, has hit .375 against the Pirates this season but is 2 for 12 lifetime off Morton.
Edwin Jackson (4-5, 4.59) opposed Morton in both April meetings, allowing one earned run over 5 1-3 innings at Pittsburgh before surrendering six runs over 4 2-3 innings at Wrigley and not getting a decision.
The right-hander has given up three earned runs or less in five of his last six starts. He beat the Mets on Wednesday despite giving up four runs - one earned - and a season-high five walks in five innings of a 5-4 win.
Jackson is 6-2 with a 3.63 ERA in 12 starts versus Pittsburgh, but McCutchen is 7 for 12 in their matchups. McCutchen is 3 for 23 in his last seven games against the Cubs.

MARYSVILLE, Cal Witnesses and family members say a Northern California teen pushed his girlfriend out of the way of an oncoming train before he was struck and killed.
The girlfriend, 16-year-old Mickayla Friend, was critically injured, though her mother, Sandy, said at a vigil Sunday that she was breathing on her own and walking.
Mickayla and her boyfriend, 16-year-old Mateus Moore, were heading to a school dance Friday night in Marysville when they were struck by the Union Pacific freight train.
According to the Appeal-Democrat of Marysville , Sandy Friend said Mickayla told her Mateus pushed her as hard as he could. Witnesses also reported seeing the boy push the girl.
Union Pacific said the conductor sounded the horn. Police are looking into whether the teens were distracted.

Garrett Billings scored three goals and Peter Lamade dished out three assists, as the Cavalier men's lacrosse team topped Vermont, 15-4. The win improves Virginia's record to 3-0.
The game was close throughout the first quarter, as the Catamounts pulled the score to 3-2 after the Cavs scored three quick goals out of the gate. Virginia added to its total, though, heading into the intermission with a 6-2 lead. The Cavaliers proceeded to score six goals in the third quarter as part of a 9-1 run to seal the victory.
In all, ten Cavaliers found the back of the net, led by Billings three. This marked the first ever meeting between Virginia and Vermont. The Catamounts were led by former Cavalier All-American Ryan Curtis, who won a national championship with Virginia in 1999. He and Vermont fall to 0-2 on the season.
The third ranked Cavaliers head to Baltimore to face Syracuse on Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium. Face off is set for noon.

Dear Listeners,
It's a thrill for me to sit in this morning on Rise When the Rooster Crows, subbing for Jonathan. I had to dig out a slightly different genre of music for today--a little more old-timey than what you normally hear on my Folk Espresso show. It isn't ALL old-timey--gotta keep it mixed-up and eclectic afterall. Sure hope you enjoyed the show and that you'll come back tomorrow morning, 5:30 to 7, for more folkie tunes.
Musically yours,
Diane Hunt

Host Ed Mellnik - 3rd Thursday Spot on Rise When the Rooster Crows
Please join me every 3rd Thursday for contemporary folk music of today and yesturday.
Rise When the Rooster Crows
Does Fred Leeson still host Rise When the Rooster Crows? from I. Orav
Please share the playlist for yesterday, the 15th! I was listening to a song on my way to work, at about 5:56 am, and it has been stuck in my head ever since...not sure who it was though. THANKS! :)
The guys you had on this
The guys you had on this morning were absolutely unbelievably HOT!!!!! What is UP???The authenticity! The talent! The sheer historical knowledge.
"The Americans"
Thank you SO MUCH going to see em tonight AND tomorrow night in Portland at least!
Name of group/song
I've been looking for a playlist for the 10th of Sept. - I wanted to know the name of the group/song that you played at the very end of the program - the very last piece. I couldn't hear all of details - it sounded something like 'Wheels of the World'? Thanks!
song you played
Rise When the Rooster Crows: I love your program, and try to wake up early just to listen, then go back to sleep. Love it!!!
On 4/16/09 you played a song that sang something like:
"How will I rock the cradle when I'm gone?"
I don't know who sang it or what the title really was but it had the most beautiful fiddle playing throughout that thrilled my heart. I want to buy an album by this group but have no clue. I looked on your playlist but it doesn't include that date.
If you don't know off the top of your head just leave it. I just want you to know you play the best music on the radio and can't be found anywhere else. Music sings to the depth of our soul. Sometimes the music you pick is just so beautiful it makes me want to cry happy tears.

"Everyone who received my invitation loved the colors together! The fonts were really cool, and I loved the semi-gloss paper! There was plenty of space to put everything I needed on the invitation. They arrived earlier than I expected and they were packed neatly and organized!"
"It was so easy to personalize my invitation. This was the first time that I ever did this and it was so simple! Everyone loved my invitation. I used a photo of my mother in law that was about 85 years old and it turned out great!"
"We wanted something pretty and soft but still fun. This fit the bill. We used this design for a graduation party invite - changed the background "fifty" to 2013 and the dark "50" to her first initial. I had to play with the font sizes a little to make it look right but in the end it worked very well. We upgraded to the pearlized paper and I was very pleased with how the color and printing looked. The shipping times and customer service were great, too."
"This invitation was a nice surprise. The quality of the paper, the ease of customizing, the price and the quick delivery were all great! We ordered these invitations probably later than we should have for a surprise party. But even after selecting the option to have them professionally reviewed by your company - we received them in less than three days! Awesome. I only wish you had 'thank you' cards in the same design. But I'm still making my choice from your site."
"These invitations were perfect for my mom's 50th Birthday party! They are just classy and casual enough for the occasion, and arrived SUPER fast in perfect quality."

Today marks the end of Daylight Savings Time in the United States and Canada. Set your clocks back one hour when you go to bed tonight. Officially, the change takes place at 2:00 am Sunday. Don't forget. If you forget, you'll be an hour early for whatever you do on Sundays.
Also, remember to set your DVRs. Tonight's game between the Kitties and Hurricanes isn't carried by Carolina's TV network, so you'll have to find Florida's feed as "game 5" in your Center Ice package.
Who am I kidding? Everyone will be watching Leafs against Habs on HNIC.
Anyway, Carolina will be looking to exact revenge agains the Kitties for what happened Wednesday. I say they'll get it.
Crucial to this game is shutting down Olli "Cane Killa" Jokinen. He has tallied 19 points (8/11) against Carolina in the last 9 meetings. His domination of the Canes is way more pronounced than Erik Cole's domination of the Habs. Except that of those nine games, Carolina won seven.
Eric Staal has a four game point streak. Ray Whitney and Matt Cullen each have a five game streak going, and Cory Stillman has a six game streak.
Johnny Crackers will be starting in nets for the Hurricanes while Craig Anderson will get the nod for the Kitties.
Florida beat Buffalo last night, and did not practice today. Carolina will hope to come roaring out of the gates to take advantage of the weary visitors. They will hope to keep their foot on the throttle for the entire game.
Tim Peel and Bill McCreary will be the referee tandem.
One third thing to make sure you do. Watch or record Saturday Night Live. Feist will be playing. If her appearances on other shows are a barometer, she'll play "1234", and will have a chorus of people on stage with her from Broken Social Scene and Grizzly Bear and some other cool folks too. I imagine she'll also play "My Moon My Man". If you get the chance to see her live, do it. It's also fun to watch her on TV.

An investigation by Captain Chip Harding of the Charlottesville Police Department has prompted state officials to look into Virginia's DNA Databank.
Back in October, Captain Chip Harding said he believed there could be as many as 50,000 samples missing from the Databank. Now the Department of Public Safety is investigating why the samples were missed and how the matter can be fixed. Harding says the missed samples could lead to some unnecessary harm.
"There out there and we are going to have victims tonight or this week that don't need to be victims. If their samples were taken when they should have been, we have victims that are going to be victimized that shouldn't be," he said.
The investigation could take at least two months. Virginia's DNA Databank is one of the most extensive in the nation with around 260,000 samples.

It's like "if you relax, there is nice, free flowing subtle sensation flowing throughout your body. Or, there can be gross, intense pain. Don't crave one or be averse to the other. Use both to develop your equanimity — have the same mental attitude to both."
If you do crave or resist, you're told over and over again you'll 'multiply your miseries' and 'create deep, deep misery for yourself'. If you're equanimous, you'll be completely liberated from all your miseries."
The spectre of multiplying your miseries for doing it wrong and the hope of "complete liberation" are paranoia-inducing. How about just try to do your best..

Seems retrograde / unnecessary and hostile to LGBT meditators. I don't really care, and I guess it kept me a little less distracted by sex, but still..
The "outro" Goenka chant to the lovingkindness meditation is comically long, like 40 minutes
The lovingkindness chant has a significantly chiller melody than all the previous chants tho
There's a shit ton of Pali chanting. Goenka says "this is not a rite or ritual", but it clearly is.
If the purpose is to do something annoying that you have to endure with equanimity, then job well done. I'm afraid that is not the purpose. I have to admit that a tiny minority of the chanting is cute.
Writing about hairy dicks, pussies, assholes, mothers, etc.
Sleep, sensory, and caloric deprivation. Social isolation. Goenka video and audios are your only source of information. They're friendly, but also demanding and extremely difficult to resist.
Even though the means are coercive, I actually think Goenka's message is not harmful and actually quite wonderful. Still I have some great notes in case I ever want to start a suicide cult
START ONE — Rent on Kent could use a people's temple
I'm utterly transformed! Can't wait to tell everyone! I'm gonna write the canonical essay on meditation! I'm going to start my own retreat center with Rugby Dan and Fanny, and it's gonna have hypnotherapy, squats, and cooking!
On a first retreat, you can convince yourself to believe in your own grandiosity because you don't have any data that says you won't achieve real, lasting transformation served as a crutch
Now, two years later, I have some data. My second retreat will be harder but more realistic
Always desperately want the meditation to be over, the retreat to be over, the job to be done, the present anxiety extinguished. This pattern is actually a perverse desire to accelerate toward death. Slow it doooooown guy
The future is not better than this — it's exactly like the this, except you're older. Very difficult to accept (because the present rarely feels totally satisfying)
The inevitability of mood change was startling. Every day I swung multiple times. The deeper into the retreat, the deeper the swings. By the end it was extreme euphoria and depression.
This happens every day outside of the retreat environment, and we attempt to minimize the magnitude of the swings by eating, smoking weed, lashing out, Russian baths, etc.
Life is not this (no hand motion), it's this (rapid up and down hand motion). Accepting this is difficult!
mood swings are not for novices.
If you want something to change, you have to feel the pain yourself. Mommy isn't going to kiss you on the forehead and airlift you to heaven

Previewing Wild Card SundayPosted by on January 7, 2010 – 2:54 pm
Earlier today on the vikings.com Blog, we examined the Saturday Wild Card games. Now, let's look at Sunday's matchups.
Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots – Sunday, Jan. 10 at Noon CST
Though the Ravens and Patriots didn't play last weekend, they did square up earlier this season in New England, with the Pats coming out on top. Can they go two-for-two vs. Baltimore?
New England Offense vs. Ravens Defense
The main storyline of this game is in essence Ravens LB Ray Lewis vs. Patriots QB Tom Brady. Both are perennial Pro Bowlers and the leaders of their respective teams. However, with the loss last weekend of Pats WR Wes Welker to a knee injury, Brady's job just got a heckuva lot tougher, as the New England offense may have a difficult time replacing Welker's 123 catches and nearly 1,400 receiving yards.
Welker had 6 catches in the Week 4 matchup between these teams last October, but had just 48 yards as the Patriots offense was largely held in check by Lewis and Co. Randy Moss had 3 catches for 50 yards and a score, while Brady was 21 of 32 for 258 yards and the lone TD pass.
On the ground, like usual, New England struggled, as their 4-headed attack of Fred Taylor, Kevin Faulk, Sammy Morris and Laurence Maroney combined for 25 carries for 74 yards.
With the absence of Welker and his ability to catch short and intermediate passes, establishing the ground game to setup play action and deeper passes down-field to Moss will be key for the Pats.
Ravens Offense vs. New England Defense
In the team's prior meeting, the Ravens offense was driving down the field late in the 4th quarter with a chance to tie or win the game, but a drop on a 4th-down pass by WR Mark Clayton inside the New England 10-yard line ended Baltimore's hopes of pulling off the comeback.
Despite the loss, QB Joe Flacco had a solid day, throwing 47 times, which is a number that Baltimore would likely want to cut in half this time around. While the 2nd-year signal caller has the ability to do more than just be a care-taker, a game such as last week against Oakland is more of an ideal setup for the Ravens: Flacco threw 19 passes while the team ran the ball 31 times.
The trio of Ray Rice, Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain is as deep of a backfield as there is, as the Ravens sport the 5th-best rushing attack in the NFL. Despite not having Welker to worry about, the Ravens will want to try to keep Brady and the Pats offense off the field and their best bet to achieve that goal is to establish the running game early and often.
Prediction: Ravens over Patriots
Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals – Sunday, Jan. 10 at 3:40 p.m. CST
Including their preseason trip to Arizona, this is Green Bay's 3rd trip to the Phoenix area this season. A nice reward for having to live in Green Bay I guess.
Arizona Offense vs. Green Bay Defense
Despite playing just a week ago, it's tough to draw too much from that game as it relates to this week's matchup since, by the time the game kicked off, neither team had anything to play for in terms of postseason positioning and both teams pulled its starters at various points during the contest.
However, this weekend's game could be adversely affected by the knee and ankle injury suffered by Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin, who suffered an MCL sprain and high ankle sprain. Even if Boldin is able to go this weekend, he clearly won't be at 100 percent and his loss is a big blow to Arizona's offense. QB Kurt Warner will still have Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston at his disposal, and the Cards will likely need to score close to 30 points or more to win.
Due to the explosiveness of Green Bay's offense and the likely loss of Boldin, look for the Cardinals to try to establish Beanie Wells and the rest of their running game to wear down Green Bay's defense and, more importantly, keep Aaron Rodgers on the sideline.
Green Bay Offense vs. Arizona Defense
No offense in the NFL has been better than the Packers over the 2nd-half of the season, as Green Bay rolls into Arizona averaging over 30 points per game over their final 8 regular season games. Rodgers, who earned his 1st Pro Bowl birth this season, has thrown just 2 INTs over that 8 game span, shouldn't have many issues in continuing his strong play and putting up points against an Arizona team that may be without Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, one of the team's top CBs. Arizona ranks 23rd against the pass, so missing one of their top defenders could be a blow too much to overcome if Rodgers-Cromartie can't go due to his knee injury.
RB Ryan Grant had over 1,200 yards on the ground for Green Bay this season, and like the Cardinals with their running attack, Green Bay will want to control the clock to a degree and not let Warner and Fitzgerald beat them.
As fans saw last season in the playoffs, the Cardinals are a very dangerous team, particularly at home, so look for them to give the Packers a very spirited effort Sunday is the desert.

Previewing Wild Card SaturdayPosted by on January 7, 2010 – 1:57 pm
Let's take a quick look at both of Saturday's Wild Card playoff games, with a prediction of the AFC game. We'll also have a preview of Sunday's Wild Card playoff games here on the vikings.com Blog later this afternoon.
NY Jets at Cincinnati Bengals – Saturday, Jan. 9 , 3:30 p.m. CT
Winners of the AFC North division, the Bengals are the #4 seed and host the #5 seeded Jets, who earned a spot in the playoffs as a wild card. This game, as both of the NFC Wild Card matchups are, is a rematch of a Week 17 contest that New York won by a 37-0 score. I'm pretty sure this game will be closer. Let's take a look…
Jets Offense vs. Bengals Defense
No team ran the ball more often or more successfully than the Jets this season – they led the NFL in rushing attempts and rushing yards. And in the playoffs that offensive philosophy will behoove them because they will be starting a rookie QB – Mark Sanchez – who has made his fair share of mistakes.
The Jets were able to run all over the Bengals in their Week 17 contest, but there are 2 major differences between that game and the one that will be played on Saturday. For starters, the Bengals had nothing to play for last week and it showed. There is more on the line this time and the Bengals will play like it. But Cincinnati will also perform better defensively because they'll have their run-stuffing DT – Domata Peko – back from injury. Whether those 2 factors are enough to tilt the field in Cincy's favor remains to be seen. It will be fun to watch, though.
Bengals Offense vs. Jets Defense
There might not be a more aggressive defense in the NFL than a Rex Ryan defense. Blitz-happy doesn't even come close to describing Ryan's philosophy, especially on 3rd down. What Cincy has going for it, though, is that even though they were also a run-dominated offense this year, they can also pass it. Carson Palmer is a playoff-proven QB and he has a #1 WR (Chad Ochocinco) who can play with anyone. There are 2 key matchups to watch here: 1) Palmer against the Jets blitz and 2) Ochocinco against perhaps the best cover CB in the NFL – Darrelle Revis.
Special Teams
Both of these offenses will come out running the football and running it a lot. That means controlling the tempo and winning the field position battle will be crucial. Special teams is a big factor in field position and the team whose special teams unit can perform better will have a leg up in this game.
Prediction: Jets over Bengals
Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys – Saturday, Jan. 9, 7:00 p.m. CT
In another Week 17 rematch, the Eagles make a return trip to Dallas to play the Cowboys, winners of the NFC East. Dallas defeated Philly twice in the regular season, so the Eagles are out to exercise the demons while the Cowboys are preparing to complete a 3-game season series sweep of their division rivals.
Eagles Offense vs. Cowboys Defense
QB Donovan McNabb and Co. have displayed their explosive abilities often this season, but never against the Cowboys. The Eagles were shutout last week and scored just 16 points in the 1st meeting. As a result, I expect head coach Andy Reid to come out with a new twist in the offense – something we haven't seen from the Eagles much this season. I don't know if it will involve Mike Vick or not, but that's one possibility. Maybe it'll be an exclusive spread offense attack, a la what New England did to the Vikings in 2006. Something's gotta change for the Eagles, and I know Reid has the offensive mind to figure something out.
Cowboys Offense vs. Eagles Defense
What you've got to like about the Cowboys offense is their versatility. They can hammer you with a 3-pronged rushing attack, which is paced by former Golden Gopher Marion Barber III, or they can beat you through the air with QB Tony Romo firing the rock all over the place to WR Miles Austin, RB Felix Jones and TE Jason Witten. The Eagles are dealing with injuries and it just feels as if they are a bit out-manned in this matchup. Dallas is hot and it's tough to pick against them in this spot. But the Eagles do have some play-makers on defense – notably CB Asante Samuel – so if the Cowboys relax too much they will get in trouble.
Special Teams
The Eagles have a distinct advantage in this facet of the game. Although K David Akers missed a FG last week, he comes up big in big spots. No other kicker made more FGs than Akers this season. I will say, though, Dallas did a much better job this season in pinning their opponents inside the 20 with coffin corner kicks.
However, the special teams trump card goes to the Eagles because of WR DeSean Jackson, who is a lethal returner and will strike from anywhere on the field, at any time in the game. If the Eagles win, I bet Jackson makes a big play on special teams.

Five Positive Trends For Vikings Heading Into PlayoffsPosted by on January 7, 2010 – 11:24 am
1. Brett Favre and Adrian Peterson
This is less of a trend and more of just a statement of fact, but having Favre and Peterson on your team in the playoffs isn't going to be a bad thing. Both Favre and Peterson have the ability to take over and win games. Favre did it this year against the San Francisco 49ers and twice against Green Bay, and we've seen Peterson do it several times over the course of his career, including this year in the season-opener at Cleveland.
2. A Bye and Home Playoff Game
For the 2nd consecutive year, the Vikings closed out the regular season with a huge win in Week 17 against the NY Giants. Last year they clinched the NFC North with a 50-yard Ryan Longwell FG at the buzzer. This year, they dominated the Giants 44-7 to help clinch a 1st-round bye in the NFC playoffs. The bye allows some key players (Bernard Berrian, Steve Hutchinson, Pat Williams, Antoine Winfield) to rest up and rejuvenate and then when the Vikings do return to action they'll be playing their 1st playoff game at home, where they are 8-0 in 2009.
3. Pass Rush On Turf
The Vikings had 29.0 sacks in 10 games while playing on artificial surfaces during 2009, which included 25.0 sacks in 8 home games. Jared Allen and Ray Edwards love rushing the edge on the fast surfaces and they'll be in line to play on the artificial stuff all the way up to Super Bowl XLIV, which is being played outdoors and on grass at Land Shark Stadium in South Florida.
4. Vikings On Fire In Last 7 quarters
The Vikings went on a tough run in December, losing 3 of 4 games and struggling to keep a rhythm on offense. But they have outscored their opponents 74-27 in the last 7 quarters and the offense is trending upward heading into the playoffs.
5. The Kicking Game
Often overlooked – except when something goes wrong – the kicking game is an important aspect of every game played in the NFL. And the kicking game is a broad spectrum that encompasses kickoffs, FGs, PATs and punts, from a general standpoint.
The Vikings kicking game in 2009 has been solid. K Ryan Longwell converted 26 of 28 FG tries this year, including 2 of 2 from 50+ yards, and he was 54 of 55 on PATs. On top of that, Longwell generally did a nice job of spotting his kickoffs. While Longwell doesn't record many touchbacks, he's improved over the last couple of seasons on his accuracy from the tee.

Five (Good and Bad) Trends To WatchPosted by on January 7, 2010 – 10:45 am
The good news is that the Vikings earned a 1st-round bye and won't play their 1st playoff game until 4 other teams are eliminated. The bad news is that means there will be no Vikings game to watch or talk about this weekend.
So we have to talk about something else in the meantime.
As a result, we've come up with 5 good and bad trends the Vikings have going as they enter the playoffs. The good trends are obviously ones we'd like to see the Vikings continue as the playoffs march on. The bad trends are ones we'd like to see eliminated, or at least tempered, as the postseason moves forward.
It's always better to take the bad news first, so we'll start with 5 trends we'd like to see eliminated. But come back around lunchtime because that's when we'll post the 5 positive trends.
1. Pass Defense
We all love the Vikings rushing defense – it's #2 in the NFL. But at times the pass defense can make you nervous. While the Vikings aren't terrible in yards allowed, there are 4 other areas of pass defense that need to be improved in the playoffs. They are:
1) Passing TDs allowed. The Vikings rank just 23rd in this category with 26 allowed, and only 2 other playoff teams have given up more passing TDs (Philadelphia, Green Bay).
2) The Vikings are tied for 26th with just 11 INTs. No other playoff team has fewer than the Vikings 11 INTs.
3) Opposing passers have a 92.5 passer rating against the Vikings and no other playoff team is allowing a better rating.
4) Opposing passers are completing 63.7% of their passes against the Vikings and only 1 other playoff team (Indianapolis) is allowing a higher percentage of completed passes.
2. Negative Plays On Offense
The Vikings were the league's 2nd-highest scoring team behind New Orleans and only 4 other teams averaged more yards per game, those are great trends. On the flip side, though, the Vikings led the league with 116 negative plays. The Vikings were a great 3rd-down offense, converting 44.8% of their 3rd down conversions, but they could be even better on 3rd downs (and all other downs) if they could decrease their rate of negative plays.
3. Takeaways
The Vikings finished on the plus side of the turnover margin in 2009, but they finished in a tie for 22nd with just 24 takeaways. Vikings assistant head coach/defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier stresses taking the ball away to his defense, and he'll continue to do so as they prepare for their 1st playoff game.
4. Ball Security
Fumbling wasn't a rampant problem for the Vikings in 2009, but at times it reared its ugly head. The most memorable fumble is of course RB Adrian Peterson's in Chicago, but he wasn't the only guy to put the ball on the ground. Favre lost one in Pittsburgh that was returned for 6 points and both Chester Taylor and Darius Reynaud fumbled against the Giants in Week 17. Maybe we're being nit-picky here, but it'd be nice to see 0 fumbles during a long postseason run.
5. Kick Return Coverage
Before we get into this one, I want to qualify this trend by saying 2 things: 1) the Vikings kick coverage units were much improved from last year and generally performed well on a week-to-week basis and 2) the Vikings covered more kickoff returns than any other team during the regular season. With those 2 things said, the Vikings did allow 53 kickoff returns of 20+ yards, which was 2nd-most in the NFL, and they allowed 6 kickoff returns of 40+ yards, which was tied for the 4th-most. Again, maybe we're being nit-picky here, but it'd be good to see a couple of 0s in those categories during a long postseason run.

Minor injuries were reported as a result of the accident, which involved an 18-wheeler.

Does an interactive video really beat a live human?
Is education really about packaging up information into interactive forms? Then why didn't DVDs and "multimedia" already solve the problem? Or books for that matter? I can learn from books now no problem, but back when I was a dumb 17-year-old it wasn't the case - no matter how much I tried to understand, I needed someone to bump me straight and do it in person, whether it was my mates or the (good) lecturers. So I don't reckon all these Internet-based courses are ultimately going to supplant in-person teaching, but I can't really say *why*.
Re: Does an interactive video really beat a live human?
Who cares, it's free, and if you can complete it, at least it will look good on your CV. I'll do it, mainly because I don't have the time, nor the funds to take a programming course in a classroom setting. Now I'll have something to do on my weekends and any other free time I can find.
Yeah I call bullshit....
It may be a nice, fun, interesting course, but ALL it really is is just bait advertising to get more paying customers to take up the $$$$$$ course at the university.
I am all for studying and diversifying and churning up the adaptive mental process's, but many of these bullshit "free and open" online university courses are badly run, the course work is a fucking mess, and many of them are just arseholes hopping on the "Open University" bandwagon - serving up worthless add-hoc shit in the process, that leads to no specific qualification or certifiable capability.
Q: Will I get acknowledgment for completion?
You will not receive any official certificate or accreditation for the course. But you will receive some awesome looking badges that will be displayed on your OpenLearning profile!
Ohhhh fuck!!! I will receive some AWESOME looking badges on my E - profile...... Truly awesome.
That is a bullshit artists way of saying we are too slack to work on a trust based system and go that little bit extra, and give the certificate as a qualification in it's own right, AND it's the first step in a range of qualifications in the whole subject or the branching specialisations.
I do think it's worth being constantly enrolled and doing something challenging and worthwhile, but the end result is that sometimes I want to have the paperwork to prove that I have understood the subject and can implement the understanding, in a useful, and cost effective way.
And most of the "Open University" courses and the people who come out with the bullshit, are just a fucking waste of time.
