HMNS researchers observed the same at Khermeen Tsav. I always felt the latter locality and type locality were at the same level--bottom--whereas other localities like Nogoon Tsav, were representative of the top. Lam Luong, several years ago a researcher back from the Gobi predicted that the boundary between the Djadokhta and Baruungoyot formations won't be found because it doesn't exist. He said they're indivisible.starmanhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128085831047923286.post-46263893455457567282014-12-12T07:36:45.710-08:002014-12-12T07:36:45.710-08:00There are some postcranial specimens that can be r...There are some postcranial specimens that can be referred to Saichania, but most of these are unfigured and undescribed specimens at the PIN in Moscow. In particular, PIN 3142/251 has an undescribed skull and a tail club that is on display - this specimen was referred to Saichania by Tumanova and if we can confirm via the skull that it is indeed Saichania (and not referable to an existing or new taxon), that would go a long way towards solving the tail club conundrum. The Korea-Mongolia International Dinosaur Project also collected several excellent ankylosaur specimens that await description.

As for the Baruungoyot/Djadokhta/Nemegt stratigraphy, we know that the Baruungoyot and Nemegt formations interfinger, and I also know that there's some active work on refining the stratigraphy of at least the Baruungoyot and Nemegt formations and correlating between different localities.Victoriahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128085831047923286.post-86899376883673535332014-12-12T04:06:28.252-08:002014-12-12T04:06:28.252-08:00Say I was wondering, if this Saichania display act...Say I was wondering, if this Saichania display actually has the body of a different animal, are there any other referable postcranial materials that do belong to Saichania besides the in situ specimen? Are there any for Tarchia?

Also, I read somewhere that it's been suggested that the Baruungoyot and the Djadokhta Formations are actually upper and lower parts of the same lithological unit without any distinguishing boundary, and I was wondering if that idea still holds any weight.Lam Luonghttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128085831047923286.post-13576402462565423132014-12-11T14:21:28.555-08:002014-12-11T14:21:28.555-08:00I guess I should make this clear: I think that bot...I guess I should make this clear: I think that both Kulindadromeus and Spinosaurus are pretty big stories and are definitely extremely interesting papers to read, whether or not you agree with all aspects of them.

Lets face it. The Spinosaurus paper was essentially an extended abstract disguised as a paper and essentially told us to trust them rather than providing data like most science papers. Even though the scaling controversy is probably over there are still some problems with the reconstruction (unikely sail shape, tucked-in gastralia,etc.).
Kulindadromeus was interesting but not everyone is convinced that it's "fuzz" is feathers (I'm not really convinced either). http://reptilis.net/2014/07/31/new-siberian-ornithischian-and-the-over-feathering-of-dinosaurs-again/
Now Deinocheirus is simply a fascinating animal. I now have a new favorite Ornithomimosaur (sorry Struthiomimus). It certainly is not another generic Ornithomimosaur. The most mysterious dinosaur of the 20th century is now a dinosaur who's appearance and lifestyle are well understood. No ambiguities like Spinosaurus and Kulindadromeus (people are STILL guessing about the nature of those two dinosaurs) It's clear that the best paleontological discovery of the year is Deinocherius.

What kind of environment produced a megaomnivore like that? The Nemegt had trees for high browsers, and they probably tended to grow alongside the rivers; farther away it may have been too arid. So D. mirificus may have had easy access to tree foliage and fish. As for the sail, I suspect Spinosaurus evolved one just to look taller and more formidable, as a quadrupedal stance made it lower than other big theropods. The sail may have helped ward off Carcharodontosaurus. Maybe that of D. mirificus helped deter T. bataar. Interestingly both big sail backs also had manual claws for defense. Btw I wonder how resources were partitioned between D. mirificus, T. cheloniformis and O. skarzynskii (even assuming the big S. angustirostris fed low). It's a bit odd that the limited(?) high resources of the
Nemegt supported three high feeders. Another oddity: If D. mirificus (like hadrosaurs) preferred riparian habitat, why isn't it more abundantly preserved? Why did it take so long to find relatively complete material?starmanhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128085831047923286.post-13560674792800087212014-11-28T20:11:59.851-08:002014-11-28T20:11:59.851-08:00That's an interesting idea, but I think we can...That's an interesting idea, but I think we can exclude the idea that the shape change is ontogenetic.

Regarding handle morphotypes, I assume that of Ankylosaurus is based on AMNH 5214. With the possible exception of an obscure specimen from the Ferris, 5214 is, I believe, the only Ankylosaurus handle known. It is an immature specimen. Is it possible, therefore, the U shape is a juvenile condition, the V shape an adult, and that of I/113 intermediate, maybe late ontogeny? http://starvisions.blogspot.com/starmanhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128085831047923286.post-5159171706055853062014-11-23T23:50:39.284-08:002014-11-23T23:50:39.284-08:00I didn't realize your PhD thesis was out yet. ...I didn't realize your PhD thesis was out yet. Found it and read it, and I must say it's excellent. Sad to see how many specimens can't be found in their supposed repositories, which we also saw with Maidment's stegosaur review. Indeed, I never noticed that the repository of Bohlin's specimens is never specified in his paper. He just says "The whole material of fossil vertebrates was returned to China." Wow, that'll help people track them down in the future. :| Has there been any effort to locate them by contacting the Ethnographic Museum in Stockholm? Or are we just depending on Sullivan (2006) saying it is lost?

Also, I noticed you didn't mention Stegosaurides. Is it actually a stegosaur as Bohlin thought? At least as far as we can tell from the figures...Mickey Mortimerhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128085831047923286.post-13631349262798634822014-11-23T08:10:03.252-08:002014-11-23T08:10:03.252-08:00Thanks!

So many workers lately seem to just dump fragmentary holotypes and designate more complete neotypes, which is pretty lazy IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if someone else writing your revision just decided to make the Minotaurasaurus type the neotype of Tarchia gigantea out of pure convenience and nomenclatural "stability".

Next we need a revision of Bohlin's ankylosaurs! Sauroplites, Heishansaurus, Stegosaurides, Peishansaurus...

Btw it's interesting that PIN 3142/250, the well-known "Tarchia" from Khermeen Tsav, has been referred to Saichania. As I just commented in my own blog--post about escalation in the late Campanian--the presence of Saichania in the Nemegt environment solves one problem. Previously it was strange that S. chulsanensis was so well armored and armed, even though it supposedly lived in a tyrannosaur-free semi-desert (Barun Goyot) habitat. Now it's clear Saichania lived alongside Tarbosaurus, and probably coevolved with it.starmanhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128085831047923286.post-29515626411844490872014-10-29T05:31:21.326-07:002014-10-29T05:31:21.326-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.starmanhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128085831047923286.post-25262378870855718692014-10-29T05:07:41.997-07:002014-10-29T05:07:41.997-07:00It might be useful to determine if the osteoderms ...It might be useful to determine if the osteoderms are ankylosaurid or nodosaurid, and where they, and D. imperiosus, occur stratigrahically.

I've been pondering on this very subject myself recently in relation to nodosaurids, prompted by reconstructions of Glyptodon that often show it with hair as well as its very dense shield of osteroderms. I haven't read up on Glyptodon dermal armour so don't know if there is direct evidence for hair on this critter or whether it's a palaeoart meme.

The latter remind me of crocodilians more than anything, with the extensive pitting, and in crocs the osteoderms are not as prominent as we might expect in ankylosaurs.

Tea Pots and More (Pics)
I came across an estate sale that was selling things by the box. After cominng home and unpacking everything this is what I ended up with. I need help identifying what I have... PLEASE HELP!
Wow!! Good junk! I see 4 or more Brown Betty tea pots....ands everal others. Perhaps tha one with the birds is made in Japan?
I see a stack of lovely green transfer ware...perhaps WH Grindley? maybe Johnson Brothers?...made in England or the US?
I see a Frankoma pitcher and cup...
A glass basket....... I am still pining after a cake plate in that pattern I didn't buy for $45....ti was a steal!..Fenton...Wave edge? Something like that?
I see a white ironstone soup tureen with lion handles and a white ironstone pitcher...I see a with with gold trim coffee server....would like to see the back stamp on...I see a couple of tea pots with gold trim I would be interested in seeing the mark on.
I see an old '50's pyrex casserole and a copper tea kettle. do I see some ceramic fruit?
I see the beginnings of either a tea pot collection or a great garage sale!
And....I see Elvis!!
Linda C
Linda C, you're a life saver! Now there are actual results when I try to google something!
You do see ceramic fruit... One of my faves!
The teapots all came in one box. I didn't even know what was in there until I took everything home and unpacked it. Most say England or Japan on the bottom.
I'm guessing she got to fill her own boxes!
Man, if I showed up at home with all that DH would be "me, or those boxes!" Hmm, tough choice...
I'm guessing next you'll be in the market for some plate hangers...
Congrats on great finds.
And....she has a trunk to store it all in!!
Great trunk...been treated to some loving hands decorating....which has pretty well destroyed any antique value it might have had....so you are now free to add your own embellishments without worry about ruining the value of an antique.
I have one very similar which was my MIL's mother's trunk when she came to the US from Sweden in maybe 1885?....at least that's the story.
Good for storing Christmas decorations!
Do I see a Westmoreland milk glass banana boat? and 2 very nice aqua molded stoneware kitchen mixing bowls?
Okie girl - when you have a chance, it would be great to see some of the bottom markings on these things, in particular the green china, the aqua bowls and that red bowl near the back, the teapot with the poppies and the little dish with the feet beside the black teapot....
quite the incredible score there, I am very jealous!!
Suzan J
karinl - I didn't get to fill my boxes. It was more of a take what you want. The rest is going to Goodwill kind of thing. So I grabbed all of the boxes that looked like they had stuff in them with value. Long story short, I got to go through the stuff of the family I work for. Mostly great aunt's stuff. They need the space for something else now instead of storage. If I had actually paid for anything my husband probably would have said me or the junk! HA! He's always down to make an extra buck or two though.
I'm only going to keep a couple of things and the rest is going to go to my grandma's booth she has in an antique store.
Linda - So the trunk is no good? Is the metal work and strap work not original? I know nothing about trunks. My husband did figure out that it was from the 1890's though.
Okay so here's everything that had a stamp on the bottom of it. It really surprised me when I got home to discover that the name on the bottom was the same as the Ironstone stuff... Is this a good thing, or a bad thing?
The picture of the item is on top, followed by a picture of the stamp on the bottom.
The only surprises in the parkings was that3 of those "brown Bettys" were made in Japan....the real treasure is that WW II commemorative Tea Pot. I haven't done a search but think you can almost name your price to a Tea pot collector.
So the banana boat isn't Westmoreland ( it was usually marked) maybe Fenton with a paper label?
I love that white stoneware pitcher!
Now on to the stuff you didn't show...like that silver looking thing under the little white stoneware dish and the copper kettle.
Start a new thread as this one is getting slow to load.

Special interest spending on TV advertising far outpaced TV spending by candidates in the Wisconsin Supreme Court primary, according to Justice at Stake and the Brennan Center for Justice. Check out Gavel Grab for more.
Wisconsin News and Press Releases
Special interest spending dominated this week's primary for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, with the conservative Wisconsin Club for Growth spending more than $300,000 on television advertisements in support of incumbent Justice Pat Roggensack.
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Pat Roggensack will face Marquette University law professor Ed Fallone and lemon law attorney Vince Megna in the February 19 primary to keep her place on the bench. Roggensack has already raised more than three times as much money as her competitors. Learn more in Gavel Grab.
State Supreme Court Justice David Prosser helped appoint a critic of the ethics case against him to the state's Judicial Commission – even though the panel could still have a hand in that case. On a 4-to-3 vote last month, the Supreme Court named retired attorney Frank Daily to the commission, which oversees the state's entire judicial system. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said Daily wrote a letter-to-the-editor of that paper in May, calling the ethics charges against Prosser unfair. Read more at WTAQ
State Supreme Court Justice David Prosser and three other justices have appointed a retired attorney to the Wisconsin Judicial Commission who has said the ethics case against Prosser is unfair. The court voted 4-3 to appoint Frank J. Daily to the commission last month, at a time when the case against Prosser faces major hurdles. Read more at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
When Dane County Circuit Court Judge Juan Colas ruled parts of Act 10 unconstitutional, Gov. Scott Walker pushed the easy and predictable rhetorical button. Colas, the governor charged, was a "liberal Dane County activist judge." When I was mayor we had several cases before Judge Colas. He was always regarded as thorough, fair and thoughtful even when he ruled against us. Read more at Isthmus Daily Page
Dane County Judge Juan B. Colas has gotten outraged letters and calls after ruling against parts of Act 10, Wisconsin's law that restricted collective bargaining for many public employees. For more, see Gavel Grab.
Gov. Scott Walker's collective bargaining law was struck down late on the night of Friday, Sept. 14. The Wisconsin Supreme Court has yet to rule on the constitutionality of the law, but already a firestorm of debate and controversy has taken place. The most recent action in the unending battle between Walker and the unions is the governor's request that his supporters begin signing petitions. The purpose of these petitions is to raise support and finances for the collective bargaining law. Read more at UW Badger Herald
A Dane County judge who struck down parts of Act 10, the state's law weakening collective bargaining for some public workers, has drawn a spate of letters and phone messages expressing outrage in colorful, at times vitriolic language. "You are no more than a cheap political hack for the Marxist Democratic Party," declares one email sent to Circuit Court Judge Juan B. Colas by someone using a fake name. Read more at the Wisconsin Law Journal
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker launched a petition drive critical of a judge who ruled that many of Walker's restrictions on collective bargaining rights for public workers were unconstitutional. For more, read Gavel Grab.
Gov. Scott Walker continued his attack Thursday on the judge who ruled against his limits on collective bargaining for public workers, launching a petition drive for those who support his changes. "An activist judge in Madison chose to put politics ahead of your votes by striking down Governor Walker's good government budget reforms," the petition from Walker's campaign says. Read more at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen asked a state court judge to delay, pending appeal, a decision that laws curbing public employee collective bargaining rights are unconstitutional. Judge Juan B. Colas in Madison on Sept. 14 ruled the legislation known as Act 10, signed by Governor Scott Walker last year, violated public workers' rights of free speech and free association.

In a perfect world, no one would go to court, but in our imperfect one many people who need the help or protection of the legal system can't afford entry, and even advocates committed to helping them run into barriers. Those concerns are the focus of a public hearing Thursday at Marquette University Law School, hosted by the Wisconsin Access to Justice Commission, created by the state Supreme Court and the State Bar of Wisconsin to study how to improve poor residents' navigation of the civil courts.

Here's an ingenious example of using a system to your advantage. You may remember David Prosser. He's the Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who won a re-election campaign when a clerk in Waukesha County "found" a bag of ballots at the last minute. He also made headlines for grabbing his fellow state Supreme Court justice by the neck during a deliberation, with the entire Court present. Read more in Fire Dog Lake.
Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman becomes the third member of the state's high court to recuse himself from hearing the complaint against fellow Justice David Prosser. Read more in the Pierce County Herald.
A third Wisconsin Supreme Court justice has recused himself from the ethics case against fellow Justice David Prosser, casting doubt on whether the high court will ever hear the case. Justice Michael Gableman's recusal today leaves the court without a quorum to hear the disciplinary case against Prosser. Read more in the Wisconsin State Journal.
The ethics case against Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser over his altercation with a colleague last year appears all but dead now that a third justice has recused himself from hearing the matter. As expected, Justice Michael Gableman, in a decision announced Friday, joined justices Annette Ziegler and Patience Roggensack in saying he would not take part in considering the March complaint by the Wisconsin Judicial Commission. Read more in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Advocates say low income people in Wisconsin are being denied access to justice. They made their case Tuesday in Eau Claire to a state commission looking for ways to improve legal options for those in poverty. Read more in the Superior Telegram.
Gov. Scott Walker says the process for reviewing complaints against sitting state Supreme Court justices must be one that instills confidence, but he won't say whether changes should be made. Read more in The Associated Press.
Writing in 1993, Colby College political science professor L. Sandy Maisel called political party platforms "the most important document(s) that a political party produces" but also "worthless pieces of paper," because so few voters know what they contain. Read more in the Isthmus Daily Page.
A second state Supreme Court justice has recused herself in the ethics case against Justice David Prosser, a further sign the case could end prematurely. Prosser is accused of violating the judicial ethics code by putting his hands on the neck of Justice Ann Walsh Bradley during a June 2011 dispute. Read more in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Wisconsin state judges who were among nearly a million residents who signed petitions that triggered an unsuccessful recall election against Republican Governor Scott Walker did not breach their judicial obligations, a state ethics panel has found. Read more in Reuters.

Light pours in through a huge leaded-glass skylight, radiating off veined white marble. Read more in The American Scholar.
Wisconsin judges who signed petitions for this year's gubernatorial recall election acted within their rights and the bounds of judicial ethics, the Wisconsin Judicial Commission has ruled. Read more in the Wausau Daily Herald.

Towards Combining Web Classification and Web Information Extraction: A Case Study
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Web content analysis often has two sequential and separate steps: Web Classification to identify the target Web pages, and Web Information Extraction to extract the metadata contained in the target Web pages. This decoupled strategy is highly ineffective since the errors in Web classification will be propagated to Web information extraction and eventually accumulate to a high level. This paper studies the mutual dependencies between these two steps and proposes to combine them by using a model of Conditional Random Fields (CRFs). This model can be used to simultaneously recognize the target Web pages and extract the corresponding metadata. Systematic experiments in the project Of-Course for online course search show that this model significantly improves the F1 value for both of the two steps.

MULGRAVE – The Town of Mulgrave is taking steps to stimulate economic development opportunities by upgrading its Loggie Street wastewater system. The updated system will support new and existing commercial operations as well as the needs of local residents.
The primary clientele served by the Loggie Street wastewater pumping station are the businesses in the Mulgrave Marine Industrial Park, as well as several residences located in the north end of town. Recently, Royal DSM, a major tenant of the town-owned Mulgrave Marine Industrial Park, has commenced the construction of a $30 million expansion to its Mulgrave plant where it produces Omega-3 products. The replacement of the town's current wastewater pumping station will increase the capacity and reliability of the system and provide the required support for the DSM expansion, as well as future commercial growth opportunities in the community.
The Government of Canada is contributing $200,412 toward the project, through ACOA's Innovative Communities Fund (ICF).
"This project will not only support the expansion of an existing commercial operation, but also the future needs of the Marine Industrial Park and nearby homes," says Mulgrave Mayor Lorne MacDonald. "The more efficient pumping system will support future business and residential growth, making our community a more attractive place to live and work."
Mulgrave Marine Industrial Park comprises 28 acres of developed industrial land. It is home to a number of local employers, including the Strait Regional School Board Bus Maintenance Garage, Royal DSM, and Mulgrave Machine Works Ltd.
"Our Government is pleased to support communities in their efforts to address infrastructure needs that help create an improved environment for business expansion and growth," says Peter MacKay, Minister of Justice and Central Nova MP. "As the Regional Minister for Nova Scotia, I'm encouraged by the innovative vision of municipalities like the Town of Mulgrave that are committed to fostering partnerships that contribute to the long-term prosperity of the region."

Marsha Ambrosius - Co-Star
Artist: Marsha Ambrosius
Producer: Focus
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 25 votes )
Already having built up a strong reputation as half of R&B group Floetry (and 1/4 of Mario and Sterling Simms' songwriting team, the Knightwritaz), Aftermath signee Marsha Ambrosius knows it's only a matter of time before she reaches superstar status. Using her current standing as an inspirational advantage, the London native is doing some courting around the city; whichever man wins her over will be her Co-Star once she makes it big. Toning down his usual high-tempo club beats, in-house beatsmith Focus comes through with enough smooth strings and brass to make listeners think that he was hired to be part of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Hopefully, Co-Star will break off with a strong internet buzz and thrust the talented singer into the mainstream.

The use of genetic data in population viability analysis has promise as a broadly applicable approach to addressing conservation questions (Greenwald, 2010). However, the commentaries on my article in this issue (Jehle, 2010; Koons, 2010; Trenham, 2010) bring up several important points that warrant reiteration for researchers interested in conducting similar analyses. Toward that end, I outline here three issues that should be considered before applying this methodology, and include for each the 'ideal world' scenario. Researchers must decide on a case-by-case basis how well a particular dataset or study system conforms (or fails to conform) to the ideal, as this will determine the accuracy and broader applicability of model results.
(1) Appropriate conceptual framework. Since the development of the metapopulation framework, it has been used extensively, especially in amphibian studies. However, as Trenham (2010) points out, the underlying assumptions are not always addressed or tested (Marsh & Trenham, 2001; Smith & Green, 2005). For example, of 53 studies reviewed by Smith & Green (2005), only 10 tested whether any single population was large enough to ensure long-term survival, and only three tested whether local dynamics were asynchronous. Regardless of the organism of interest, this is a critical first step to consider if the goal is to use RAMAS/Metapop (Akçakaya, 1998) or another modeling method that assumes metapopulation structure. This framework is not appropriate for organisms in large, continuous populations (i.e. no probability of local extinction) or for those in completely isolated populations (i.e. no probability of recolonization); in these cases alternative population models must be developed that do not assume metapopulation structure. Indeed, Koons (2010) suggests development of situation-specific population models, which allows for greater flexibility in defining the underlying assumptions. Clearly, the goal should be as close a match as possible between population models and the 'real world' scenario, and careful consideration should be given to population structure and demographic parameters before model development. All models will provide an answer; the accuracy and relevance of that answer depend entirely on the quality of model development and parameterization.
(2) Availability of relevant demographic data. Ideally, data on population parameters such as mortality and fecundity would be available from long-term capture–mark–recapture (CMR) studies of the populations of interest. These data would serve three important purposes. First, they would act as a comparison or replacement for genetic estimates of effective population size, which (as noted by the commentaries) may influence model results in some systems (Koons, 2010) and may vary greatly from census population sizes (Jehle, 2010). Second, dispersal events documented by CMR could validate assignment test results (Berry, Tocher & Sarre, 2004; Koons, 2010; Trenham, 2010). Finally, I reiterate an excellent point made by Trenham (2010): demographic parameters likely vary depending on landscape context. For example, mortality might be underestimated by using values derived from populations in pristine landscapes, and this could clearly influence model results. As he noted, this was a necessary simplification in my study, but ideally demographic data would come from the populations of interest or from populations in similar landscapes.
The assessment of demographic parameters along fragmentation gradients, while logistically challenging, would be an extremely valuable direction for future research. This would allow for accurate model parameterization across a range of landscapes, as well as further comparisons of models based on dispersal–distance curves versus genetic assignment tests (e.g. is there a certain critical level of habitat heterogeneity above which assignment tests outperform dispersal–distance functions?).
(3) Thorough and representative genetic sampling. It is important to consider the spatial and temporal extent of sampling when designing a population genetic study. An ideal study system would consist of all potential source populations within a biologically meaningful dispersal distance. If this is not feasible, awareness of the quantity and location of these unsampled 'ghost' populations would aid interpretation of assignment test results. If there are numerous ghost populations, a less stringent assignment test approach might be most appropriate (e.g. the 'high dispersal' scenario; Greenwald, 2010). The ideal temporal extent of sampling will depend on the organism of interest; multi-year sampling would be especially valuable in cases with potential temporal variation in population genetic structure (e.g. different breeding cohorts) or in dispersal across years (Jehle, 2010; Trenham, 2010).
Another important consideration is balancing the number of sampled individuals and the number of loci. Several simulation studies have explored the power of assignment tests under various combinations of number of alleles, loci, individuals, populations and levels of population differentiation. For moderately differentiated populations (FST=0.1) one study showed that 100% correct assignment could be obtained using a Bayesian assignment method with 10 microsatellite loci from 30 to 50 individuals from each of 10 populations (Cornuet et al., 1999). Adding additional loci appears to increase power much more than adding polymorphism (alleles/locus; Bernatchez & Duchesne, 2000) or increasing the number of sampled individuals (Paetkau et al., 2004).
In summary, the approach of combining population genetic data and viability analysis can be a useful tool for conservation research, with the potential to identify source populations, populations at risk of local extinction, and persistence estimates for population networks. It may be especially valuable for organisms in fragmented or degraded habitat, where the assumption underlying dispersal–distance curves (equal probability of dispersal in any direction) is likely to be violated. I will be interested in the success of this technique in other systems, especially for long-term study systems where the 'ideal' conditions outlined above can be met or approached (e.g. the European crested newt Triturus cristatus, Jehle, 2010; or the California tiger salamander Ambystoma californiense, Trenham, 2010). However, in the 'crisis discipline' (Soulé, 1985) of conservation biology, the need for expedient decisions may preclude this level of thorough information gathering. If time does not permit a long-term CMR study, genetic assignment tests can provide a rapid empirical estimate of population connectivity for use in viability modeling.

Lovely hotel in Vienna center. Clean. Recommended!Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Excellent value"
We were two couples on vacation, found the hotel excellent.The transportation means were very good, with tram, underground service close by.The staff was very helpful and the breakfast great. the only problem was the poor WiFi service. The hotel gives guests a code for 24 hours but the thing just does not work - the connection is erratic at best. But […] this is a small thing as Vienna has many locations with free WiFi service so we did not find the problem too difficult to solve. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Noisy Japanese"
This is an excellent hotel close to the Strassebahn tram stop. However it is NOT 10 min walk from the city as stated. After one night we are invaded by a large party of Japanese who made a lot of noise during the night which the staff didn't seem to control very well. . The reception, on arrival, knew nothing about the free breakfast offer. I had to […] show a copy of my booking confirmation as proof. It took half an hour to convince the receptionist.

"Excelent time"
The hotel is located very close to a Tram stop (number D), a Metro station (U4 and U6) and a shopping mall. We arrived in the hotel at 11:30 and got the suite room number 409 at on the fourth floor with windows facing the street. The rooms are big, spacious and with very high ceilings,very quiet and beautiful.

"Not A 4 Star Hotel"
This hotel is a good 30 mins walk into the centre of Vienna. However there is a tram that goes from outside the hotel and it will have you there in under 10 mins. Air conditioning in the room was very poor which made the room very warm. Some hotel staff were very helpful and others were very rude. Would choose another hotel if I was in Vienna againGenuine Hotels.com guest review

This is an old world type of hotel with high ceilings and carpeted corridors.The Internet was next to useless. The staff were helpful and friendly. We skipped the breakfast and had great coffee and pastries 5 minutes away in a lovely cafe. It was quiet and there was a fridge.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great value"
Good value for money. When we worked out the lie of the city it was easy access to trams and metro which were great. There was a Stop virtually outsode our door!

"A Great Way to Enjoy Vienna"
Bellevue was kind enough to upgrade our room for no additional cost. It was lovely with 12 foot ceilings, a sofa and arm chairs and refrigerator. Air conditioned, too. We loved the charm of the hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful. There was the Supermarket across the street, the Laundromat next door, and Trams going in all important directions just […] around the corner. An 8 day metro pass took us virtually from our front door to all we wanted to see in Vienna. The Franz Josef Train station was across the street, but added no noise to the neighborhood. Only a feel of safety since people were coming past at all hours. All very walkable. The only short coming was lack of affordable and reliable internet. If you are dependent on internet, this hotel is not for you. Otherwise, enjoy! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The hotel was a bit out if the way, but once we worked out our bearings it was easy to get around. Internet access was only on the foyer which was annoying, we ended up going across the road to Macdonalds for endless free wifi. The room was at the back and very quiet. Enjoyed it.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Value for money"
Pleasant stay. Good location. Friendly staff. Clean rooms.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Extras render not quite full value"
Whilst room was good value, the; 1)25 € extra for breakfast was not 2) only free 30 min WIFI in lobby, or 10 € in room, was very odd, and a hotel world 1st for me.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Quiet Hotel in the Middle of Everything"
We had a wonderful stay, the room faced in to a courtyard and so was very quiet. The hotel staff was very kind, the room was clean and the washrooms had been recently remodeled. Had some trouble keeping steady temperature in the showers, though. For the price we paid (only$90USD) I would certainly stay there again, but I do have another favourite, more […] centrally located hotel in the city. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Wifi totally unsatisfactory"
We had stayed in this hotel in 2012, and had been very pleased. This time we were given a much smaller room, and wifi, which we had not used the previous year, was very unsatisfactory. Only 30 minutes free allowed per day, it was very difficult to access, and this could only be done in the lobby, sometimes reception staff would help and other times […] they would not. They were normally very efficient, courteous and pleasant, but this constant barrage of requests for assistance from guests became, Ithink, too much for them. 24 hour wifi was possible in the bedrooms, but this would have cost an extra €60,and I do not know how successful it was.

"Convenient location and good quality"
Very close to the train station to get to the Wachau region which is worth visiting when you are in Vienna. Our room was not on the street side, so no idea about the noise in the street-side rooms, though it does not seem to be a busy street. No idea about breakfast and other food matters also, but cafe and bar side was fine. Good quality hotel with […] classical flavor, and nice people at the reception counter. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good value for money"
Stayed 3 nights in May. Chose the hotel due to the location, which is only a couple of minutes from the Friedensbrücke metro station. The centre of Vienna is easily reached via public transport. There is a Billa supermarket right in front of the hotel, which was open even during the Ascension day. The room was a bit outdated but very quiet (window to […] the courtyard) and breakfast and service was really good. My only complaint would be about the pillows, which were not very comfortable (too thin). Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful hotel but high connection costs"
Bellevue is a very beautiful hotel and close to ubahn services. Thankfully parking is free over the weekend. However, we were shocked at the cost of WiFi connection rates, considering city bars allow you the use of theirs for free.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"it is good location hotel."
That is nice hotel, good breakfast, good location. but the bed too soft for me.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"not bad"
Clean, nice location, but should be upgradedGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Beautiful Hotel"
The hotel was clean, really nice staff, and worth all 4 stars. The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the center of town. For 11 euro you can get a 48 hour pass that covers the cable cars and subway, with a little study time the train is very easy to use and can get you anywhere inside or outside the city.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"very bad area"
i will not stay in this hotel again, for the price we paid, the staff was very unfriendly, tv was broken in room and surrounding neighborhood was bad, lots of beggars around hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Large room, which was very nice for Vienna. Lobby and coffe shop were cozy, and the only place that WIFI worked (we knew that ahead of time). Bed was comfortable, and the staff spoke great English (we're from the U.S.). For Vienna, this was a really good value.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Our Vienna experience!"
Staff very friendly- spoke perfect English- which was a help to my wife and I. Upgraded us when we arrived and the breakfast buffet - was great plenty of choice. Great location near a tram stop and easy walking distance to the the subway. Supermarket nearby which added to the the convenience. Great job all round!!!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel with limited wifi"
Hotel is nice, clean, but they have wifi only via 30 min vouchers and the wifi itself is slow. Vienna is small, so easy to get from one point to the next, but the neighborhood of this hotel (Friedensbrucke) does not have much to offer on its own. Good deal for the price.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel large but comfortable and clean, husband a little surprised at high price of half litre lager!! very near a supermarket and mcdonalds plus other take aways, next street/strasse has a good restaurant used by locals. Although hotel is a little way out away from the centre it did make us underground/and transport efficient by the end of our 4 night […] stay.

"Sounds like good hotel but did not satisfied at al"
Belevue hotel in Vienna is old fashioned grand type hotel.When we checked in the reception and porter was ok ish. Room was small compare to photos shown on the hotel web gallery.Walls are made out of card board like. you could hear someone in next room very clearly.In room you wont be expecting a kettle and complimentary tea or coffee, when ever you […] need a hot water or something you have ring to the reception or you have to make a journey to the restaurant bar.Then again when you ask for jug or thermos of hot water there wont be enough of them.which is very sad. Food wise, the breakfast was fine decent,but dinner was disaster.I had a pork cutlet with vegetables and crouton type of chrispy potato cakes. And my dad who is 78 years of age had a pork with mushroom souce and some gnoque type of potratoes but meat was like microvaved and rest of the food was ice cold. when I complained to the waitress , she said so what if it is cold it is cold.........even she said cannot believe what she said. Also I recognised there was some raicial issue. (I am from Mongolia but I am a British citizen) As I complained to the waitress she asked me that where I was from and I said GB..... she said something in her mouth. over all hotel is not 4 star quality i think, but could reach 2 star in my experience. As my review I do not wish to offer this hotel to anyone. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

Week-end romantique avec mon épouse. Quartier très sympa, à 2 pas du métro, du tram et du train. Nombreux commerces alentours. Pour qui veut bien manger, traditionnel et pas cher: Un restaurant typique Viennois "D'Landsknecht" 13 Porzellangasse 1090 Wien, à 1/4 d'heure à pieds de l'hôtel, excellent dîner traditionnel et bières pour finir avec un digestif […] offert, le tout 35€ pour 2 personnes.

Manque dans la chambre: des chaussons, des crochets dans la salle de bain pour suspendre les affaires, matelas hyper mous mal dormi, sinon chambre et espaces communs vieux mais propre.

Ottima pulizia, ben curato, arredato con gusto. Personale gentilissimo e molto professionale. Colazione impeccabile e molto varia. Per una vacanza a Vienna è ottimo, vicinissimo al centro e a due passi dalla metropolitana. Lo consiglio vivamente esperienza più che positiva!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Hotel di discreta fattura anche se un pò datato"
Gli spazi comuni non sono ampissimi ma con arredi e finiture di buon pregio e di discreto gusto, anche se il tutto risulta essere un pò datato. Meglio le sale ristorante e prima colazione. Le camere sono adeguate in ampiezza e rifiniture al livello dell'hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
We had a nice holiday. The staff was not so custom mined. Good location, city centre.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"gutes Hotel zu einem fairen Preis!"
Mein Freund ich ich haben eine Städtereise in gemacht und 4 Nächte im Hotel Bellevue gebucht. Also das Personal war sehr freundlich. Wir haben statt einem normalen Zimmer (gebucht) ein Deluxe Zimmer bekommen - und das war wirklich RIESIG! Das Hotel selber ist zwar schon älter, ABER sehr gepflegt und der Stil in dem das Hotel gehalten ist gefällt mir […] persönlich sehr, sodass ich mich dort gleich wohl fühlte. Im ganzen Hotel ist es sehr warm, obwohl scheinbar keine Heizungen an sind, jetzt Ende Oktober fand ich persönlich das sehr gut. Lage des Hotels ist ok - die Straßenbahnstation "Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof" ist direkt vor der Tür, man fährt dann ca. 15 min in die Stadt. Das Frühstück war gut: frisch geschnittenes Obst, jeden Tag selbst gebackner Marmorkuchen und Sekt (so viel man will - Selbstbedienung) und eine normale Auswahl an sonstigem (Aufschnitt, Müsli, süßes Gebäck). Das einzige was mir nicht so gefallen hat waren die Brötchen (sehr pappig). Zwischen 20 normalen pappbrötchen hatte man Glück evtl. ein schönes Brötchen zu erwischen (z.B. Mohn/Körner/Ciabatta). Hier sollte das Hotel nicht so geizen finde ich... Zimmer wie gesagt auch schön, leider hört man Nachts die Straßenbahn (auch bei geschlossenem Fenster), was zunächst sehr ungewohnt war. Alles in allem finde ich, dass das Hotel sehr gut war. Ich würde wieder dort Urlaub machen! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Ich habe mich im Bellevue insgesamt wohlgefühlt!"
Das Hotel hat eine repräsentative Eingangshalle mit einer rund um die Uhr besetzten Rezeption, die hilfsbereit alle Fragen beantwortet. Die Bar ist gemütlich, der Frühstücksraum großzügig so wie auch das Frühstück. Die Zimmer sind schön und sauber. Ich kann das Hotel insgesamt nur empfehlen.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Hotel de charme pour une bon rapport qualité prix"
Bel hôtel à proximité des lignes de métro et de tramway (possibilité de rejoindre le centre très rapidement). Bon rapport qualité prix pour une chambre double standart. Un petit bémol pour l'absence de produits usuels dans un 4 étoiles dans la salle de bain (seulement une mini savonnette un un distributeur de gel douche, un shampoing aurait été apprécié, […] heureusement j'en avais pris un petit en bagage cabine par précaution). Petit-déjeuner correct. Personnel accueillant et disponible (avec possibilité de conciergerie gratuite). Séjour à Vienne très agréable! Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Sauberes Hotel, tolles Frühstück, tolle Badewanne"
2 Nächte für eine Städtereise, im Neubau gegenüber ist der Billi drin, da man sonst in der ganzen Stadt nichts kaufen konnte am Wochenende, kann man dort als einzigem Ort einkaufen, zentral gelegen, gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, leider kein VOX als FernsehprogrammGenuine Hotels.com guest review

It was probably obvious yesterday that we earnestly thought the FDA might finally turn around a longtime decision, one largely against all advice, information and recommendations from sexual, reproductive and adolescent health and rights experts and advocates, when it came to unfounded restrictions long put on teen access to Plan B.
And that was going to actually happen. The FDA was on board this time around and made the decision to ditch those restrictions. People under 17 were finally going to have the same kind of access to a safe, important kind of contraception those over 17 had, a kind of access there is simply no sound reason to restrict.
And yet.
In what Jodi Jacobson of RH Reality Check so rightfully said can, "only be called an astounding move by an Administration that pledged on inauguration day that medical and health decisions would be based on fact not ideology and for which women are a major constituency, today Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the Department of HealtRead more...
I'm thrilled to announce that beginning in May, Scarleteen will be welcoming CJ Turett as our part-time assistant director. We've never had an official assistant director before, but have wanted one for quite some time, and I can't conceive of a better person for the job. I am particularly delighted to bring someone into a position of leadership here who is a younger activist: part of serving younger people well involves making them an integral part of the organizations who serve them, which absolutely should include positions of leadership.
CJ is a has a master's degree in human sexuality education from Widener University and is currently pursuing an Ed.D. He has worked previously as a community educator at a domestic violence and sexual assault survivor service organization, as an HIV/AIDS and LGBT case manager for the Mazzoni Center, and most recently as the education coordinator for Answer and their Sex, Etc. website. He has lectured on numerous LGBT health and well-being issues oRead more...
This is about a recent scare of mine at the dentist or how a misdiagnosis almost cost me hundreds of dollars and unnecessary pain and surgery. However, before I talk about that specific experience, I'd like to share my back story.
I am writing this Scarleteen blog entry after having read Heather's piece after I returned home from my local polling place. Heather, I thank you for sharing your thoughts and reasons for voting the way you did this year; this blog entry was inspired in large part by your post. I find myself holding many similar sentiments to the ones you expressed here so well. As a fellow Green Party supporter as well as long-term Ralph Nader fan, whom I admire for standing by his convictions and staying true to his word in his actions*, I found myself with not just one but two very appealing third party/independent candidates that I'd very much like to vote for this year.
However, I decided that keeping McCain out of office, imagining just how horrible his presidency would be for the US and world at large, was most important: I cast my vote for Obama. As Heather so succinctly stated, "While I'd love to vote for my party (wouldn't I always!), this is another of those years where I don't feel aRead more...
