Double-crested Cormorants
Double-crested Cormorants always put on a good show along the Willamette River in Portland. For being an all black bird, they really show a lot of interesting details in their plumage. The blue eyes on an orange face are also striking.
This bird is just starting to sprout his crest feathers.
This young bird is still showing his pale gray breast and neck, but the facial skin is getting pretty bright.
This is what it looks like when a cormorant catches a fish that is just a little too big. The bird swam around for quite a while with this odd posture and bulging neck.
Wetland Birds
While spring migration has not really ramped up yet, locally nesting birds at Fernhill Wetlands and Jackson Bottoms are starting to pair up, and the winter flocks are breaking up.
A few Least Sandpipers have arrived at Fernhill.
These Killdeer were vying for position. I think this species would be more highly regarded if their voices weren't so grating. Their plumage and red eye ring are rather stunning, but they just don't shut up.
I found a pair of Bushtits weaving a nest. The normally gray birds were stained bright yellow with pollen.
Cinnamon Teal, looking all dapper
This Golden-crowned Sparrow had odd white patches on the cheeks, and a few white feathers on the nape.
Tree Swallows are everywhere, pairing up and claiming nest boxes.
Song Sparrow, not unusual, but unusually cooperative
Red-winged Blackbird. Females and immature males have much more interesting plumage than that of the adult males.
North Coast
It had been ages since I visited the coast, so I packed up the dog to check out some spots between Cannon Beach and the Columbia River. I have seen an increasing number of these signs in the area, an attempt to attract nesting Snowy Plovers back to the area. I hope it works.
On the beach at Gearhart, I saw more Sanderlings than I have seen in many years. I don't know whether the population has rebounded a bit, or if I just timed my visit with a good wave of early migrants. We'll hope it is the former.
There was a small flock of Dunlin at Gearhart, and a much larger flock at Fort Stevens. None had started molting into spring plumage yet.
American Crow on the beach. There were a few Common Ravens around, too, but they usually don't allow a close approach.
I found two mixed flocks of gulls. The gull numbers around Portland this winter have been very disappointing, so it was nice to see a good variety of species on the beach. Since I had Nala with me, I couldn't get close enough to identify everyone. This little group is mostly California, with a couple of Mews and possible Thayer's.
The best gulls of the day were Black-legged Kittiwakes. This species is usually found out to sea, so it is nice whenever they come to shore. Here is an adult in the middle of the frame.
A first-cycle Black-legged Kittiwake near the center, with a dark auricular patch and a black bar across the back of the neck.
This Western Gull seemed very dark compared to the other gull seen that day. I think she might be of the southern subspecies.
A quick check of Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach usually reveals some Harlequin Ducks.
Sauvie Island
I took my waterfowl class out to Sauvie Island. The trip produced a nice variety of ducks and geese, and the weather was freakishly nice for February. Here are some Ring-necked Ducks, Dusky Canada Geese, and a couple of Buffleheads.
Some more Dusky Canada Geese. The red neck collars help to clinch the ID. Lesser Canada Geese are fitted with blue collars, while Ridgeway's Cackling Geese have yellow ones.
One of the more interesting birds of the day was this hybrid Greater White-fronted X Cackling Goose.
This Satyr Comma was basking in the sun. While the early spring is enjoyable in the short term, it may have negative effects on the flora and fauna in the long term.
Broughton Beach
Nala and I walked along the Columbia River from Broughton Beach to the Sea Scout base.
Greater Scaup was the most numerous species on the river, with smaller numbers of Lesser Scaup (fifth bird from the right)
Great Scaup (upper left) with Lesser Scaups, showing a nice comparison of size and head shape.
A few Western Grebes were snoozing on the water.
A Common Goldeneye came close enough to shore for some great looks.
Broughton Beach usually holds some interesting songbirds, but this Song Sparrow was the only one I saw on this visit.
A Beaver had been nibbling willow saplings when we approached. He swam out just a few feet offshore and continued downstream.
McNary Wildlife Nature Area
Looking past the rather awkward name, the McNary Wildlife Nature Area is a great little spot for birding. The park, which came to my attention by hosting the recent Black-headed Gull, is located in the town of Umatilla, just downstream from McNary Dam on the Columbia River. Along with views of river, the park has several small ponds, areas of sagebrush, and riparian woods.
The park can be reached from 3rd street, on the north edge of town. From Hwy 730, west of I-82, turn north on either Switzler Avenue or Brownwell Blvd, then east on 3rd to the park. If you are east of I-82, turn north on Devore Road, then west on 3rd.
Black-billed Magpies are common in the area. I have always loved these birds, despite my total inability to get a decent photo of one.
I sorted through hundreds of Cedar Waxwings, looking for the few Bohemian Waxwings that had been reported in the area, but I found no joy.
At least six American White Pelicans were using the park.
An island in one of the ponds serves as a roosting site for Black-crowned Night-Herons.
There was a nice diversity of waterfowl, including this Common Goldeneye.
Gulls were well represented. Along with the abundant Ring-billed, and the famous Black-headed on the left, this shot shows a Mew (just right of center) and a California (right edge, gray legs). Herring and Glaucous-winged were also present.
American Robins and other songbirds were abundant in the brushy areas. A very birdy area overall.
Black-headed Gull
A Black-headed Gull has been hanging out in Umatilla, OR for the past week or so, and after some internal debate I gave chase. The drive to Umatilla is about twice the distance of my normal "chase radius." I am not one who tends to drive great distances for an individual bird. But this bird is special enough to warrant an exception to the rule.
First of all, this is a gull I hadn't seen before, one I have been hoping for for many years. Black-headed Gull is a Eurasian species, with a small population in northeastern Canada and in Greenland. So finding one anywhere in North America away from the northeast coast is extremely rare.
Secondly, this particular bird seems to have established himself in a park in Umatilla and in the adjacent golf course, so my chances of seeing the bird after such a long drive were relatively good. I would not drive so far to look for a warbler or other small songbird, as these tend to move on much more quickly.
After the drive, finding the bird took about five minutes; step out of the car, walk to the edge of the pond, and there he was. ID is pretty easy for this species. They are similar to Bonaparte's Gull, but with a red bill and a dark underwing pattern, visible in flight.
When the gull preens, you can see evidence of the dark hood that will become obvious in the breeding season.
The Black-headed Gull is being seen at the McNary Wildlife Nature Area, just downstream from McNary Dam on the Columbia River. I will write more about this area next time.
New Year Birding
I went out for a few hours on New Year's Day to scout locations for my upcoming gull class. The weather was freakishly sunny for a January day in the Portland area.
The only gull flock I found was at Amberglen office park in Hillsboro. Most were Ring-billed Gulls. Here is a first cycle Ring-billed with an adult. As you can see, I am totally incapable of getting a good photo of white birds in bright sunlight.
These two Mew Gulls were looking very petite among the larger species.
A couple of Hooded Mergansers were swimming near the fountain.
Finally, a bird that doesn't have a lot of white. This Mallard was looking gorgeous in the bright sun.
I took Nala to the dog park next to Vanport Wetlands in hopes of seeing a bird or two between throws of the ball.
A male Eurasian Wigeon made a brief appearance.
A pair of Gadwalls swam in the nearby slough.
The large flock of gulls that had been hanging out in the area were not around that morning, but a large puddle hosted this Ring-billed Gull along with some Mew Gulls.
Smith and Bybee Wetlands
I walked through Smith and Bybee Wetlands after an unsuccessful gull chase in northwest Portland. Here are a few highlights.
A pair of River Otters were in the slough. It is always a treat to see this species.
There were actually a few birds around. I ran into several mixed flocks of small birds that defy point-and-shoot photography.
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
The same bird, showing just a peek of his namesake ruby crown.
The slough had a few waterfowl, all keeping a safe distance from the otters. Here is an American Wigeon.
Raptors were well represented by Bald Eagles, Red-tailed Hawk, and Red-shouldered Hawk, none of which wished to be photographed. Despite the rainy conditions, it was a productive trip.

The Real Menshes on Benches
I met two menshes on benches the Friday of Thanksgiving. You may now have the image of the Mensch on the Bench Hanukkah toy, but unlike this stuffed elf counterpart, these were true mensches.
One of the rules for this toy is that a "true mensch is one who puts smiles on other peoples' faces." The word mensch is Yiddish for human being. It means to be a true human; to live up to the depths of kindness, generosity, integrity and love that a human can muster. The two mensches I met put a smile on my face for sure.
My parents moved to Philadelphia over the summer from Boston to be near my youngest brother and his family. They joined Congregation Rodef Shalom which is near where they live. They joined because they had heard the synagogue was an architectural gem, which it is, that the clergy are accessible and warm, that the preaching and teaching is intellectually stimulating and that the worship is full of music and joy. As soon as they joined, another synagogue family called them and invited them out to dinner (which my parents were thrilled about since they don't have any friends there yet). The synagogue staff greeted my parents at the door for several weeks after they moved to welcome them in and make sure they were getting acclimated. My parents were immediately swept off their feet with the ruach—the spirit—of the service. They kept telling me what a wonderful community this is. They love that each week there is a Shehecheyanu prayer sung after those in attendance share the good news that is happening in their lives.
My family and I were visiting for Thanksgiving and my parents were so excited and proud to take us to their new temple. Well, my 5 and 7-year-old are not well behaved in synagogue. You might be surprised considering my husband is a pulpit rabbi and they go to synagogue a lot. My children are high energy, antsy, loud and boisterous. They get thirsty and have to pee a lot during services which requires them to go in and out of the sanctuary. They whine. They get hungry. No matter how many little activities and small snacks I bring, we have not fully mastered the art of sitting respectfully in synagogue with a "calm body" as we like to say.
On this Friday night, they were exhausted which mellowed them a little. But, my youngest ate through the whole hour long service (I so appreciated that the service was one hour including a Torah reading and short sermon). This synagogue has a quiet room where you can hear the service but people can't hear us. However, we braved the actual sanctuary because my parents wanted the kids to try to fully participate. Wouldn't you know, they did (sort of). When the time came to share a Shehecheyanu moment, my 5-year-old raised his hand for the microphone and said, "I am visiting my grandma and papa" which just made my parents kvell (swell with pride) and everyone in the community ooh and ahh with his cuteness.
During the Lecha Dodi prayer, they form a dancing chain and my children joined right in! The Rabbi made sure to welcome us specifically at the start of the service as well and he called my children up for the honor of helping to undress the Torah. Actively participating definitely helps one stay engaged, no matter how old you are. But, my kids were not perfect during that hour by any stretch of the imagination. There was a trail of popcorn under our seats to prove it.
After the service the two women sitting right behind us (on actual pews/benches) said, "Your children were such a delight. We loved their energy. We loved their dancing. They are so beautiful. What a joy to have you visiting." They didn't say, "Next time, you could try the Quiet Room." Their response made me smile. It warmed my heart. It took a load off. I had been wondering how annoyed they would be sitting right behind us. It made me want to come back again. I told you I met two menshes on benches! They embodied what it means to be gracious, welcoming and empathetic.
It's Like Miso Soup!
Rabbi Ari is the Director of InterfaithFamily/Chicago. She also has children who will not eat matzah ball soup or a bagel and lox and is continually surprised and dismayed at their culinary preferences. She was inspired by this story because of how culturally astute the grandparents were to how their grandchildren were being raised and how quickly they made a bridge between the familiar to the new and exotic (the world of the matzah ball!).
A woman recently told me the story of her grandchildren who live out of state and aren't being raised Jewish.* They come to visit for a week each summer. This past summer they went right from the airport to the deli. Not that there isn't Jewish deli where these kids live, but the grandparents wanted the experience of eating Jewish foods with their grandchildren at one of their favorite spots. This is one way they share their love of Jewish culture with their grandchildren.
These grandchildren have been raised on sushi and other international cuisine. When the youngest grandson looked at his bowl of matzah ball soup, he did not want to eat it. He said that he is used to more "normal" food (like sushi!). The grandparent telling the story said that her husband turned to the grandchild without missing a beat and said, "It's just like miso soup…" and the child dove in. Once that broth touched his lips, he was sold! He even liked the matzah ball.
We at InterfaithFamily/Chicago are partners with the JUF (our Federation) and Grandparents for Social Action on a new program for grandparents called GIFTS: Grandparents, Inspiration, Family, Tzedakah, Sharing. We are offering a five-session class at 15 congregations and Jewish organizations around Chicagoland taking place now through the spring (to find a class, go to www.juf.org/gifts).
The classes consist of interactive lessons about how grandparents can pass on their values and deepen their engagement with their grandchildren. The fifth session is specifically geared toward talking about grandchildren raised in interfaith homes as well as any family situation that you might not have planned for or anticipated. The session is called "Changing our Narrative" and it is a hopeful session about what continuity means to us.
We just had a meeting for grandparents who are alumni of the classes that were offered this past year to talk about how to improve the program and to help plan an exciting city-wide Grandparent Conference to take place this spring (more information to come). One of the grandparents shared that fantastic story with me.
Our kids and grandkids have different cultural references than we have. They are growing up on different foods, their "normal" is nothing like what our life was like at their age and we have to constantly translate for ourselves and them as we bond and communicate. Is eating matzah ball soup with Jewish grandparents going to make these children Jewish? That's not the point or the goal here. Feeling closeness, sharing our soul food, hearing the names of the foods in Yiddish, making connections, expanding one's repertoire and experiences and creating memories of things only done with one's grandparents is meaningful, impactful and important. Who these kids will be will happen over time. The closeness they feel with loving, open-minded, insightful, aware grandparents who know what their lives are like and who are willing to translate and help them relate to new things is priceless.
*We often hear this phrase. It means different things to different people who say it. For some it means that the family isn't a member of a synagogue. For others it means that the parents do not articulate that the children are being raised with a Jewish identity—the parents want to raise them without specific religious references. Some say it means that the children are being raised "nothing." This is one I particularly dislike as many children who are not raised with Jewish holidays or going to synagogue are raised with lots—not nothing—when it comes to values, for example. "Nothing" portrays such an empty, void and negative image.
Surprisingly, many children whose parents did not participate in Judaism and Jewish living affirm their Jewish identity as adults and seek avenues for engagement then because of relationships with grandparents, and other connections made along the way. Just knowing the cultural and religious heritage they inherited, even if it has been latent for some time, may mean something to one's identity.
So, when you read or hear that children aren't being raised Jewish, it is often an overly simplistic statement that may not capture a whole picture. As well, it hints at but doesn't fully capture where the parents may be with their own religiosity, spirituality or communal ties. The parents' own background and Jewish baggage may be coming in to play here and it may be complicated and messy in terms of how to raise children. Or, it may be that the parents are just not religiously, culturally or communally inclined even in the most open senses of Jewish expression. It's not their thing, but it's in their family and so a confrontation (whether warm and inviting or stressful) with Judaism occurs every now and then for their family.
This is Strength
My grandmother was a force to be reckoned with. Smart as a whip and made up her own mind about everything. Incredibly independent considering she was married at 19 and never spent a night away from my grandfather in their 72 years together. She had a master's degree. Traveled the world. Cared deeply about Judaism. All of her strength and character was put to the test when she developed esophageal cancer in her 70s. She moved from Florida to New York for treatment, which no one was particularly hopeful about. People much younger than her rarely beat this type of cancer. She did.
In the year before my grandmother passed at age 91, I explained to her what my new job was at InterfaithFamily, and while I don't think she fully understood what it is that we do, I think she understood that we help people to live Jewishly. It seems like a simple goal: to help all kinds of people connect with Judaism at all different stages in their lives.
But most often, it's when someone dies, or someone gets married or is born that people turn to religion. I felt the truth of this over the last week at her funeral and while sitting shiva with my family and friends. Having a rabbi from my family's synagogue lead us in prayer at our house was unexpectedly comforting.
Just two weeks earlier, in the same house, the same friends were gathered to celebrate my engagement. The Jewish pieces my fiancé and I are fitting together in preparation for our wedding (What should the ketubah say? What will our chuppah be made out of?) are essential parts of the ceremony, for us.
But even though we were both brought up Jewish, we were not born with Jewish knowledge of how to have a Jewish funeral or a Jewish wedding. We needed the rabbi at the cemetery to tell us not to pass the shovel we were using to toss dirt into the grave from one person to another, but to stick it back in the earth first (so as not to pass death), and why to form a path for the immediate family to walk through on their departure from the cemetery (we were supporting my father, uncle and great aunts). While we don't know all the answers, it is easier for us to find them: We have rabbis and religious family members to turn to with our questions. We had a cousin translate our ketubah into Hebrew.
What if what we needed was not within arm's length? Where would we turn to find it? Would we even bother?
Creating inclusive Jewish resources for pivotal times in our lives as well as every day that couples with little or no prior religious knowledge can use, and letting people know we have them—and they're free—is what I think about every day. I also think about my grandmother every day. I don't think she believed for a second that she would succumb to cancer, and she moved back to Florida after her treatment like nothing had happened. Her natural way of moving through life was to persevere and to be proud of who she was and where she came from. I hope that when you visit this website, you feel welcomed for who you are and supported in finding what you're looking for.
Grandparenting in Interfaith Families
Are you a Jewish grandparent navigating your relationship with your child, their partner, and your grandchild? Are you the adult, sandwiched between your parent and your young child, respecting the one who raised you and hoping they will respect your choices in raising your own family? I am curious what works (and what doesn't work). Please comment below and join me as we start a dialogue about the role of grandparents!
I believe step one should be to have a conversation. The grandparent should sit down with their adult child and discuss how each sees the other's role. Share thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams. Respect each other. Recognize that this can be easier said than done!
But then what? Grandparents: what do you do (have you done) that has worked really well? What didn't work so well that you would do differently next time? Children, what have your parents done that worked (or didn't)? What do you wish they would do?
I have five ideas to get us started; I'm interested to hear if you think these will be well received.
What would you like to add to this list?

We know that all of our industry partners are very high-tech, but it's not everyday that we have a chance to experience that first-hand. We took SRAM's invitation for pre-season technical training & facility tour with open arms – we got a lot of new knowledge and an even bigger trust in people and components. Lot's of photos inside! aaa
2014 season took us around the world to many amazing places and venues. Our nine riders did a fantastic job, taking many victories and podiums. But these are just some of the highlight of our season, made possible by the whole team, our partners and our fans. This is our ultimate 2014 gallery. aaa
Slovenian cycling federation awarded best riders & teams of the 2014 season, and again the top honors also went to our team. Tanja Žakelj is best female rider of the year (for the fifth time in her career!), Unior Tools Team is best MTB team. aaa
Nejc Rutar was one of the first riders that got his hands on the latest backpack from CamelBak. Kudu is and enduro/all-mountain oriented product, full of nice features that make riding & racing more convenient. Nejc is not a fan of backpacks, but he found this one very practical and used it on many races. aaa
Now she really deserves a holiday! Tanja just came from the last race of the season – stage race Tradewinds Langkawi International Mountain Bike Challenge that took place in Langkawi in Malaysia. Tanja did an excellent job and finished second in the elite women category. aaa
Fastest times in first, third and fifth stage were not enough – one big crash in the second stage of the last race of the SloEnduro series took Nejc Rutar to third place on the race and second place overall. aaa
Big finals of the Enduro World Series once again took place in the Italian costal town of Finale Ligure, again on the great trails that everybody likes so much. We had four riders on the start – our enduro riders Nejc and Anže had a company of our downhillers Ruaridh and Žiga. aaa

I found my box turtle!
I posted in early May that my male box turtle escaped from the tortoise playpen.
I pretty much figured he was a goner. But he found his way to the garden (his outside pen is right next to the garden). I was picking tomatoes and there he was at the base of the biggest tomato plant.
I remember all the great support you all gave me and so I wanted to let you know that there was a very happy ending :-)
He seems like he's been getting plenty to eat and now he can tell the female what he did on his summer vacation.
yayyy!!! wow, this is so cool! imagine...a TURTLE finding his way back home. ya know, i wonder if he's been close all this time and just decided to stop playing his little game and show himself. LOL
every so often, i would wonder what happened to the little guy. very nice to hear he's back where he belongs. :)
So great that he came back!!!!
We have a turtle that visits. Every summer, a couple time each year - for the past few years, he (?) shows up at our garage door. Hangs around for a day or so - then disappears till the next time. I'm assuming it's the same one.....
Not being a turtle expert myself, I often wonder why he comes. The closest water source (small creek) is about a mile away. Don't they usually keep closer to the water?
Thanks everyone for sharing in my joy!
To Rhizo. When I got him from the pet store, a kid had dropped him a few days before and he has a scrape and a bit missing from his shell. Also I live in the high desert so there won't be very many box turtles wandering around :-)
To kitasmommie: there must be something at your house that he likes; do you have flowers or something near the garage? Your yard must be in the boundaries of its territory and something draws it to your yard the same time every year.

Police seek bank robbery suspectMarch 22,2013
HARDWICK A Vermont police department said an arrest warrant has been issued for a Hardwick bank robbery suspect who is believed to be in Connecticut, where she is also suspected of a number of bank robberies.
Hardwick Police said the warrant for the arrest of 29-year-old Susan Braig was issued Thursday. She has not been taken into custody.
Hardwick Police Chief Aaron Cochran says Braig is suspected of robbing the Union Bank, on Route 15 last Sept. 6.
Cochran said he was contacted by the Connecticut State Police in January. A subsequent investigation led to the issuing of the Vermont arrest warrant.
Cochran said Braig lived for a time in Winooski, but she now lives in Connecticut. He did not know her hometown.MORE IN This Just InGov. Peter Shumlin chats with Vermont Press Bureau chief Neal P.

I stayed here for a conference recently. The rooms were clean and spacious and the hotels facilities are good. I especially liked the lazy river and the water slides.
There were a few issues that came up. The food wasn't as diverse as I have had at other all-inclusive resorts. In fact, after two meals in the buffet ("Fresh", the main dining area) I was kind of sick of it. It did change but the selections at each meal were limited. The service was very good at Mangoes and the Seaside Grill. I checked in at 3.30 and was hungry. I was told everything was closed until dinner but discovered that both Mangoes and the Seaside Grill serve until 6.00pm. The other major issue is that both locks on my room (front door and balcony sliding door) did not actually lock properly. I called maintenance several times but these were never fixed. I ended up just praying that my room would be safe and nothing would be stolen. That seemed to work.
Overall, I had a very pleasant stay and would stay there again.

I have been working at Bain & Company
The people and my direct team are great to work with. Overall, it's a fun company to work for. The company perks and benefits are great (e.g., free coffee, cereal and fruit, monthly socials and gatherings to keep employees happy).
Unfairness in promotion. Bain often creates job titles/positions that aren't applicable in the outside work world. There is a huge disconnect between the administrative and consulting staff in terms of treatment and pay. Senior management tend to promote within if the candidate comes from a 'consulting' background, despite the person's hands on experience and knowledge in the industry. Senior management often values a consultant's perspective/insight more so than that of an admin employee with extensive knowledge and background in the industry.
Value your hard working employees and their expertise. Consultants aren't the only ones with expertise to offer to Bain. Bain should be able to do things more in-house versus having projects outsourced (to India or companies with certain expertise).

I worked at Bain & CompanyPros
The company has a moto of "Work Hard Play Hard" and they stand behind it. There are high expectations of employee performance and the rewards for hard work are regular. The company fosters an environment where employees from all departments and level socialize and share their views related to the business. Bain also has a commitment to improving a range of business and career skills for all employees. Employees are provided with all of the tools they need to perform their job, there are almost no questions asked about requests, this fosters a feeling of trust and respect between the employee and the company.Cons
The only con that comes to mind is the lower salary for my position in the industry. The work load and complexity of the work load is much greater then others in the same position yet out pay is lower. Then again Bain seems to attempt to offset the lower pay with more paid socializing events.Advice to ManagementAdvice

What happens when we die is a question that has perplexed mankind for millenniums. All of us are affected by death. Over the ages, people in every society have pondered the subject, and there is no shortage of proposed answers. Many people believe in heaven and hell. However, others believe in reincarnation. Answers to the question about what happens when we die are as diverse as the customs and beliefs of the people giving them. Yet, most religions agree on one fundamental idea: That something inside a person—a soul, a spirit, a ghost—is immortal and continues living after death. In this presentation you will find truthful and satisfying answers to the question, "What happens when we die"?

BEIJING (AP) — "SpongeBob SquarePants" and other Nickelodeon children's programs will be dubbed into Mandarin and available to watch free online in China over the next 12 months in the latest deal to give a foreign entertainment company more access to China's vast market.
Sohu Video, a unit of popular Chinese Web portal Sohu.com, announced Thursday an online video-on-demand and video syndication collaboration in China with Viacom International Media Networks, a unit of Viacom Inc.
In a joint statement, the companies said the deal will enable an estimated 389 million Chinese online video users to watch Mandarin-dubbed and subtitled Nickelodeon programming on Sohu's site. The companies declined to say how much Sohu paid for the content.
From Sunday, Sohu Video will start to offer more than 200 hours of Nickelodeon programming, including "iconic and beloved characters" such as animated television series "SpongeBob SquarePants," ''Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and "Avatar."
Sohu's video site is populated with American TV shows, Japanese animation series, Chinese variety shows and in-house programs. It obtained the exclusive online broadcast rights for the second season of hit reality talent show "The Voice of China," shown earlier this year, generating nearly 2 billion video views, according to Sohu.

You can find the OP here.
I also noticed this, and there were edit options for a post which wasn't mine and a few other strange things in that topic.
The words seem to be repeated blocks of text, each in a 1px by 1px span element, and contained within a div that has an id attribute of user_cke_pastebin, so something to do with this WYSIWYG editor. When you quote reply the offending post, you do actually get the layered text if you look at the source view, but it has different style attributes so that it's positioned way off the left of the screen.
That's really strange. I've passed that information along to the engineering team. Thanks for the report.
This is a bug in the editor which will be fixed whenever they release the next version. In the meantime, we're filtering these out server-side so they don't display.

A marketing research director holds a top-level management position and is responsible for overseeing the market research department. They work closely with the marketing team, providing guidance and instruction as needed. The market research director must be able to set clear objectives for their department, as well as analyze their team's progress on goals that already exist. They frequently communicate with supervisors and clients, helping identify clients' needs and ensuring that any marketing goals align with what would work best for their clients. The marketing research director leads weekly meetings and daily informal meetings with subordinates. They are in frequent communication with clients and other employees using the phone and email, as well as during in-person meetings. An individual in this role must be very flexible and able to adjust to new and changing marketing trends as well.Read More...
The marketing research director typically works full time in an office setting during regular business hours, although overtime may be required depending on the needs of their business. Occasional travel to clients' places of business is needed as well.
This position requires a bachelor's degree and typically at least 10 years' experience in the marketing or a closely related field. Good communication skills are essential for both communicating with employees and clients, and excellent planning and organization skills are needed as well.
Marketing Research Directors report using a diverse set of skills on the job. Fortunate workers who know Strategy can expect a significant pay bump, scoring salaries 31 percent above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Project Management and Research Analysis. Those proficient in Market Research are, more often than not, also skilled in Project Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Marketing Research Directors generally obtain higher compensation for more plentiful past experience. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience make $58K, but folks with five to 10 years under their belts enjoy an appreciably larger median of $95K. After 10 to 20 years, professionals can make it pretty big; the median salary sits in the six-figure neighborhood of $118K. People who have worked for more than 20 years report a median income of $135K, which is barely higher than the median for folks with 10 to 20 years of experience.
For Marketing Research Directors, San Francisco provides a pay rate that is 44 percent greater than the national average. Marketing Research Directors will also find cushy salaries in Philadelphia (+42 percent) and Chicago (+16 percent). Trailing the national average by 12 percent, Atlanta is the market with the smallest paychecks.

As summer draws to a close, we applaud the well-organized and managed construction project to widen U.S. Highway 14-A east of Cody to five lanes — two lanes going each direction, with a turning lane in the middle.
The $9. 6 million project is the last of 11 projects the Wyoming Department of Transportation has planned and overseen since 2001 to widen the highway between Powell and Cody at a total cost of nearly $66.4 million, making it easier, faster and safer to travel between the two cities.

Michel Martin looks at his legacy.
