President Obama signed into law Jan. 10 a bill making it easy for individuals to share their movie rental history online – a measure the Senate Judiciary Committee had hoped would also require law enforcement to obtain a warrant to examine emails and other long-term stored electronic communications, but which in the end did not.
Despite the Obama administration's Digital Government Strategy, the use of digital platforms is "by no means standard across the government" with some federal employees still prohibited from accessing social media sites, according to a new report. "Program managers who lag cannot expect that doing things the way they have always done them will continue to be effective in the new environment," it chides.
The available research on social media use during disasters fails to account for the type of social media, says a report from the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism. START also says that existing research doesn't compare social media use during different kinds of disasters.
Federal agencies can join the legion of amateur cooks and interior designers in posting photos to Pinterest now that the social media site has added federally friendly terms of service, the General Services Administration announced Jan. 8.
Working with Twitter, the Library of Congress has created an archive of approximately 170 billion tweets organized by date, says an LOC report released this month. Now, the technological challenge is how to make the archive accessible to researchers and policymakers in a comprehensive and useful way.
Social media can improve public participation in government, but in some ways, federal branch agencies and departments are going about social media the wrong way, according to an academic article published in the January 2013 issue of the Government Information Quarterly.
If the European Parliament approves a right to be forgotten as part of a data protection proposal unveiled earlier this year, it's very possible the result will be large-scale search engine filtering, says the European Network and Information Security Agency. In a paper (.pdf) released Nov. 20, the agency says technical means alone don't exist that would permit individuals to control the distribution of information about them on the open Internet.
Federal agencies have long used job fairs and university outreach for recruitment, but the Internal Revenue Service is finding success through less traditional channels, such as social media.Like many agencies, the IRS has rules on its Facebook page about swearing and business solicitations. In many ways, successful interaction depends in part on clear standards and expectations, said Eric Erickson.
CAMBRIDGE, MASS. – The rise of low-cost, peer-to-peer transactions facilitated by the Internet presents challenges for privacy, yet regulation of it may be difficult due to the First Amendment, said Jonathan Zittrain, a Harvard law professor. He spoke Nov. 9 at a symposium on privacy and technology held by the Harvard Law Review.
The most common category of individual whose social media activity has been recently monitored by the Homeland Security Department is that of a senior U.S. or foreign government official, says a departmental review.

It's Time To Build the Analytical Engine 127
from the future-is-awhile-ago dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
All programmable machinery designs. Pascal had a mechanical tabulator, for example.
By that argument, the Colossus and contemporaries were just a logical evolution of the telephone exchange.
I disagree. Babbage's ideas were out of the blue. So much so that in the 100 years following, no one working on the numerous calculator (and related) projects had the same idea. Babbage was working on a Turing-complete machine a century before Turing put that concept to paper.
Yes, that's why the first step is "Figure out what the Analytical Engine is". The idea is that they would look over old drawings, use them where they make sense, and fill in the missing bits with whatever would have been available at the time. It would be *an* Analytical Engine rather than *the* Analytical Engine.
Just that the looms didn't do any math doesn't mean they weren't a a programmable device. Surely realizing that a programmable mechanical machine can be built is one of the steps on the way of figuring out how to make a machine that can solve arbitrary problems.
The looms are about as programmable as a hydraulic tracing lathe... My mother was interested in looms although not enough to buy something like a full jacquard-style loom, so my info is based on limited personal experience and lots of second hand discussion. People with no experience with those looms, sometimes overestimate the looms ability... Trust me its not like they were writing C# code on those panels, or they ran them thru a compiler or something... Even modern machine tool G-code is staggeringly more advanced and most people will not lower themselves to calling G-code "programming".
And can it be a complete coincidence that Babbage decided to use the same storage medium?
Well, frankly, yeah, at that stage of technology it is the only possible solution. So any working solution must be identical, more or less, to all the other working solutions. No mass storage devices from our post-punchcard era had yet been invented...
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes. -- Dr. Warren Jackson, Director, UTCS

Anthony Westbury: Barton suit hurts everyone, including Alex
PORT ST. LUCIE - There aren't many sure bets in life, but this was one of them.
No one could have been surprised by the news last week that a lawsuit had been filed on behalf of the kindergarten student who was "voted out of class" at Morningside Elementary School in 2008.
While we'd all been expecting it, the size and scope of the suit took one's breath away.
Weighing in at 32 pages and around 8,500 words, it includes an impressive array of accused groups and individuals, and a laundry list of wrongdoings.
There's the St. Lucie County School District itself, Superintendent Michael Lannon, Morningside Principal Marcia Cully and her assistant. Teacher Wendy Portillo, of course, gets prominent mention, but so do the district's director of exceptional student education, Bill Tomlinson, and the St. Lucie County chapter of the Classroom Teachers Association.
All these people are accused of flouting big pieces of law, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, and even the Civil Rights Act.
Where to start? Let's begin with the person whose well-being should have been at dead-center throughout: Barton's son Alex.
All of this brouhaha has supposedly been in Alex's name. I have misgivings that much of what happened — either at the hands of his teacher or his mother — was ever in his best interests.
There are many victims in this saga; Alex is the biggest of them.
Over a six-month period, from January through May of 2008, we saw a series of administrative blunders and non-sequiturs. Opportunities to help Alex were missed or lost in all the sound and fury.
The school district's glacial response, the over-burdening of a teacher who came to the end of her rope, the lack of a comprehensive system to handle students like Alex, and an aggressive, litigious mother, all built to form a perfect storm of anger.
Did something go badly wrong in Wendy Portillo's classroom on that May day in 2008? You bet. Portillo admitted she made an error of judgment. She would never use a "Survivor"-type vote to fix a disciplinary problem again, she said.
But did Portillo make that decision to hurt one student or help the remainder who'd been dealing with frequent disruptions for months?
No teacher who displayed the hateful attitudes Barton alleges Portillo did would survive one school year, let alone 12.
Did the school district put together an effective plan to teach Alex? No, and they still haven't come up with a policy that addresses the special needs of autistic students who now number about one in 160 kids nationally.
There are lots of other questions: Did the teachers' union block Alex from being assigned to another school, as the suit alleges? Categorically no, according to CTA Vice President Vicki Rodriguez.
I'm not even going into other bizarre allegations of "mooning" episodes and "a mob" of enraged parents who allegedly threatened Barton. There may be some kernels of truth in this suit somewhere; there's an awful lot of dirt thrown in to see what'll stick.
At the end of the day we have to ask: Will Alex's best interests be served by the suit? Will it help other kids in the future? I seriously doubt it.
We haven't moved forward one step from the beginning of this sad tale in a year and a half.
No one comes out of this unscathed, especially Alex.

Japan PM says 2 nuke reactors must be restarted
TOKYO Japan's leader appealed to the nation Friday to accept that two nuclear reactors that remained shuttered after the Fukushima disaster must be restarted to protect the economy and people's livelihoods.
Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda said the government has taken ample safety measures to ensure the two reactors in western Japan would not leak radiation if an earthquake or tsunami as severe as last year's should strike them.
All 50 of Japan's workable reactors are offline for maintenance and safety concerns since the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, swept into a coastal plant in Fukushima and sparked the world's second-worst nuclear disaster.
The two reactors at the Ohi nuclear plant are the first two ready to resume generating power, but the public has shown great concern that government failures worsened last year's crisis and may recur.
Nuclear energy is crucial for Japanese society, Noda said in a news conference broadcast live. The government wants the reactors to be operational ahead of a summertime energy crunch.
"We should restart the Ohi No. 3 and No. 4 reactors in order to protect the people's livelihoods," Noda said. "The Japanese society cannot survive if we stop all nuclear reactors or keep them halted."
Noda said a 15 percent power deficit is expected in the western region, a level he called "severe." Without nuclear energy, utilities would have to rely more heavily on expensive fossil fuel, which would increase electricity bills and financial strain on small businesses.
He said the public opinion is polarized but he has to make a decision because "I cannot put people's safety and livelihood at stake by not restarting the reactors."
Local consent is not legally required for restarting the reactors, though government ministers have promised to gain understanding from the prefecture. Noda said he understands the mixed feelings many people have about a startup. He promised to publish a long-term energy policy that aims to reduce nuclear dependency and promote renewable energy around August - a delay from an earlier target of June.
Noda's speech Friday possibly removes the last obstacle before a resumption of the Ohi reactors. The Fukui governor made Noda's public appeal conditional to his consent for the startup. With the governor's consent, Noda is expected to make a final go ahead as early as next week, so the restart could take place within days.
Noda said the peak of energy demand for the summer is approaching, requiring a quick decision.
He said major cities around the Ohi plant should thank local residents for their burden of supplying electricity to towns around the west, despite the safety concerns, apparently seeking to gain their understanding for the resumption.
Fukui Gov. Issei Nishikawa took Noda's comment "seriously," indicating an approval, a local newspaper Fukui Shimbun reported.
Fukui, where 13 reactors are clustered in four complexes along the coast, is often called Japan's "Nuclear Alley," making the region Japan's most nuclear-dependent area.
Noda said the startup is not intended just for the summer, rejecting calls for limited operation by Osaka city and other nearby towns. He said he planned to start up more reactors whenever their safety is confirmed.

text: Politics Political news Rauner Defends Paying CFO $120,000 For Four Months' Work By Amanda Vinicky • Feb 9, 2015 WUIS Funding for everything from state-subsidized daycare to court reporters' salaries is running out in Illinois. At the same time, Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner signed on a top aide for a contract worth $30,000 per month. Donna Arduin may not be a household name in Illinois yet, but as Rauner's Chief Financial Officer, she may become one. Arduin has been contracted to "provide advice to the governor" on how to deal with Illinois' pending fiscal challenges. For that, she -- or more specifically, her consulting firm -- will be paid $120,000 for four months of work. Deficit Causes Daycare Drama By Lisa Ryan • Feb 6, 2015 childcarecenter.us Illinois' program that provides subsidized daycare for low-income families is out of cash. A Senate committee attempted to address the issue Thursday. Chandra Ankoor is a 24-year-old single mother from Springfield. While she is working, she sends her three daughters to child care that is partially paid for with the help of the state. If it weren't for this assistance, Ankoor says it would cost her every dollar she makes, and then some, to afford the cost of child care. Illinois Coal Industry Not Happy With Dead FutureGen Plan By WNIJ • Feb 6, 2015 Flickr user E Photos / "IMG_1927 - Power Lines" (CC v 2.0) The Illinois coal industry is not happy with the federal government's decision to stop funding a clean-coal project in Illinois. President Barack Obama's administration pulled the plug on the FutureGen 2.0 "clean-coal" power plant, which was slated to be built in central Illinois. $5 Billion Energy Department Plan Covers Argonne, Fermilab By WNIJ • Feb 4, 2015 durbin.senate.gov U.S. Senator Dick Durbin says the budget proposed by President Barack Obama maintains funding for two national laboratories in Illinois. The spending plan includes more than $5 billion for the Energy Department's Office of Science. That's the primary funding source for the Argonne National Laboratory in Lemont and Fermilab in Batavia. Argonne is one of the Energy Department's largest research centers, spanning fields including high-energy physics, climatology and biotechnology. Fermilab is a leading center of high-energy physics research. Rauner: Illinois Needs To Be More Competitive By Illinois Public Radio • Feb 4, 2015 Some of the big ideas Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner outlined in first his State of the State Address aren't likely to get very far. Rauner acknowledged up front that voters elected him - a Republican - and supermajority of Democrats in the legislature. "They don't want partisan bickering, political infightin', or personal conflict to get in the way of servin' the needs of the families of Illinois," Rauner said. Rauner spoke of inequities in granting contracts to minority-owned companies, and prison conditions that he called "unacceptable." U Of I Flash Index Rose .4 Since Last Month By Jim Meadows • Feb 3, 2015 Institute of Government and Public Affairs, U of I The Illinois economy is at its highest level in nearly a year. The U of I's Flash Index measured 106.8 in January, up four-tenths of a point from the month before. The Index rose to 107 last winter. But since then, economist Fred Giertz says the state's economy measured in the 106 range. Illinois Day Care Funds Have Run Out By Amanda Vinicky • Feb 2, 2015 Illinois Child Care Bureau The future of a state-subsidized day care program is in limbo. The budget passed by the last class of lawmakers and signed by former Gov. Pat Quinn cut it by millions of dollars. That means money for it has run out. While that's not expected to be an immediate problem, some say daycare providers could begin cutting off services as soon as later this month if payments are delayed. Gov. Bruce Rauner late last week blamed his predecessor for creating the high-pressure situation. Rauner Wants Ban On Campaign Gifts From State Worker Unions By Hannah Meisel • Jan 30, 2015 Hannah Meisel/IPR Gov. Bruce Rauner lit a fire under labor unions this week when he suggested local governments should be able to implement their own right-to-work laws. Yesterday, Rauner went one step further, saying government unions should be banned from contributing to political campaigns. Rauner had largely been silent about unions since winning his primary campaign last March. In the general election, the candidate abandoned his talk of "government union bosses" who he says control contracts with the state, driving up the cost of business. But this week, that talk and phrase is back. Rauner Criticizes School Admin Costs By Illinois Public Radio • Jan 30, 2015 twitter.com/BruceRauner Gov. Bruce Rauner is criticizing the number of school districts and administrators in the K-through-12 system as too costly. Rauner is calling for what he calls "education bureaucracy" to be pared down, citing the more than 850 school districts and 13,000 administrators in the state. The governor said this week in Champaign that not enough of the state's tax dollars actually make it to the classroom. Two key points in Rauner's gubernatorial campaign were letting the state's temporary income tax hike expire and promising to increase funding for schools. House Rules Break Bipartisanship By Lisa Ryan • Jan 29, 2015 state of Illinois The Illinois House voted to pass the rules for how the legislature will run itself for the next two years. But Republicans took issue with a few of the procedures. Representative Ed Sullivan from Mundelein wants to extend the time period that information is posted online before legislators can debate a bill. The rules require only a one-hour notice before a hearing. "I want to talk a little bit about the voice of the public, those that we serve, and what their voice is within the rules, and their ability to have more transparency."

Serving Tray for Christmas made out of peppermints. DIY serving tray Dec 19th, 2011 @ 09:05 am › jodi ↓ Skip to comments I am officially obsessed with these candy serving trays… and guess who I got the idea from?! Hosea Rosenberg, founder and chef of BlackBelly Catering. Yes, he's also the Top Chef Season 5 winner Jenna and I met him at Anne Be's Five party a few weeks ago, and he was kind enough to share this creative idea with me! {Thanks, Hosea!} This DIY serving tray is adorable to serve your holiday cookies, apps or drinks! It's an easy {and cheap} way to add a little something extra to your holiday treats. Hosea's beautiful creation at Five: Mint Serving Tray You'll need: mints {we bought mints from Candy Warehouse} a cookie sheet parchment or wax paper {I used wax paper, but heard parchment paper works better!} your oven How To: 1. Heat oven to 350 degrees 2. Place wax paper on cookie sheet 3. Arrange mints in any design you wish on top of wax paper or parchment paper on a cookie sheet {allowing extra room on the sides} 4. Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes 5. Take out and allow to cool on cookie sheet {cools in approximately 5 minutes} 6. Remove wax paper from bottom {be careful, tray is fragile and breaks easily} Voila! A beautiful serving tray!

How can I grow edible mushrooms?
I have been reading, watching and studying growing edible mushrooms for a long time now. I have scoured the internet for spores and have found inoculated dowels to be the source. However, I still have a few questions concerning mushrooms. I read somewhere that you shouldn't use logs that are extremely old. Oak seems to be the perfect wood to inoculate with oyster, shiitake, lion's mane and I think reishi. Now I don't have oak logs and I do have very old and worn out logs. But today we cut down a Kafferboom tree otherwise known as Coastal Coral tree and was wondering if I could use this. I read somewhere that it's not a good idea to inoculate freshly cut wood because of the tree's natural anti-fungal properties. But, if you let it sit out for a week or two then it should be fine. My main concern is if I can use this particular log to grow mushrooms? If not, I regularly pick up cofee-grinds from a local coffee shop and was wondering how I can go about making use of that. I also have fresh or well rotted horse manure as a resource and if anybody has any suggestions on how I can used any of these growing medium to produce mushrooms.

Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium and Madagascar Biodiversity Partnership are partnering with Daharicomores.org to begin a research program on the mongoose lemurin the forest areas of Madagascar and the Comoros Islands.
I took the liberty of using google translator to give you the project information from their website! The MBP is excited to be apart of this research project.
"The lemur Mung (Eulemur mongoz), lives in the forest areas of Madagascar and the Comoros, in small family groups consisting of a monogamous pair and juveniles who leave their parents at the age of 3 to 5 years. In this case, the length of the head and body is 30 to 40 centimeters and that the tail is from 40 to 65 centimeters. The weight varies from 1.1 to 1.6 kg. This epèce has the distinction of being day or night depending on the dry or wet season.
The lemur Mung was classified as a vulnerable species in 2000. But due to the continuing decline of the species related to the decrease in the extent and quality of habitat and poaching, the species was classified as critically endangered on red List IUCN in 2014. in addition, E. mongoz experienced hybridization with E. rufus west of the region Betsiboka Madagascar.
The lemurs research project started in November 2014. The aim of the project is to identify genetic links between populations Eulemur mongoz from Anjouan and Madagascar by analyzing the genetic material from the sample feces and blood.
Habitat loss is dramatic in the southern region of the Betsiboka river in Madagascar. The study compared the genomes of mung lemurs of Madagascar and Anjouan will indicate whether the two populations have a high genetic diversity for the maintenance of the species. The population of Eulemur mongoz Anjouan could serve as a genetic reservoir for the region of Betsiboka and avoid the extinction of the species. In parallel, the field work in Anjouan will generate information on the population of mung lemurs of this island.
The research is organized around a two-step methodology:
1.La Sample collection and DNA extraction
Faeces samples and blood have been collected in Madagascar 10 Anjahamena, Antema 7, 9 to Tsiombikibo, and 1 to Ankarafantsika. In Anjouan, 20 fecal samples will be collected. DNA will be extracted genetic laboratory Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium.
2.La generation and analysis of data
The data generation work will take place in the genetic laboratory of Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium. The DNA will be compared to the genomes of other primates: humans, chimpanzees, orangutans and rhesus macaques. The genetic material of lemur mung MyBaits will be analyzed by the software. Genomes and nuclear DNA sequence data will be evaluated to determine the relatedness of the species and the other members of the genus Eulemur." See More
Un projet de recherche sur les lémuriens a débuté en novembre 2014. L'objectif du projet est d'identifier les liens génétiques entre les populations des lémuriens Eulemur mongoz vivant à Anjouan et à Madagascar en analysant le matériel génétique l'issu d'échantillons de matières fécales et de sang.

Arbor Day Foundation Newsletter
Transforming Lives
In the island nation of Madagascar, Rain Forest Rescue has been supporting an effort to reverse the destruction of forest habitat that is home to animals like the Black-and-white ruffed lemur, a species listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as "critically endangered" and found nowhere else on earth.
Under a unique program initiated by Dr. Edward E. Louis Jr. of the Omaha Henry Doorly Zo...o and Aquarium, corridors of trees are being planted to restore habitat for the lemurs and other animals that depend on the rain forest. And thanks to donations of Arbor Day Foundation members, more than 250,000 trees will be planted this year.
Dr. Louis' team is employing a local women's club to weed in the nurseries, prepare compost and transplant seedlings into the areas of reforestation. This group, known in the native language of Madagascar as Vehivavy Vonona, or 'The Ready Women,' is helping to fight poverty and transform entire communities. These women are taking leadership roles and making a real difference in their communities and on the forest landscape in their region.
It is efforts like those of Dr. Louis and his team, with donations from Arbor Day Foundation members, that hold the key to the future of lemurs and other wild inhabitants of Madagascar's forests—and the people who share this land.

Breaking News:
After some time tracking, the MBP's graduate student, Malalatiana, and the MBP carnivore team trapped their first fossa. They secured a female which was named "Scar" and a male named "Jack the Ripper". They appear to be a young adults. Malalataina and the team were able to get ATS collar on them and finished with all their work before the fossa woke up. Scar and Jack recovered quickly. Fortunately, the team was ready with welding gloves and got them back into their cages without anyone being bitten. The fossa were released after they had the proper amount of time to fully recover. This is the first time the MBP will be tracking and keeping record of the carnivores habits! Malalatiana plans to use this information for her upcoming presentation.
2014 MBP Student Presentations
Student presentations at the MBP office wrapped up at the end of September. In total, twelve students shared their research with the office staff and visiting international volunteers. Thanks to Mme. Rakouth and Mme. Brigitte, two student advisors from the University of Antananarivo, who also came out to support these early career scientists.
The students presented in front of a full house including their advisors, MBP staff and visiting volunteers.
We were lucky enough to learn about a variety of subjects such as the elusive aye aye from Nico, the diminutive mouse lemurs from Seheno, using drones to monitor landscape change and estimate biomass from Sitraka, and the ecology of greater bamboo lemurs and black and white ruffed lemurs from Mirana and Voahangy, respectively. Bruno is also working on black and white ruffed lemurs doing censuses throughout Madagascar and Daniel described his transect methodologies. Ony and Volana taught us about their reforestation work in the semi-arid spiny and humid evergreen forests in a tag-team presentation, and Tovoniaina explained how he will continue some of these efforts as he prepares to for his fieldwork in Andasibe.
Thanks to all of our students for sharing with us their progress. Also, congrats to Christophe for defending his doctoral dissertation and all the best to Sylviane who will be defending her work at the end of this month. We can still look forward to a few more presentations as additional students take their breaks from remote field locations and return to the office to submit their reports. That means you Larissa, Eugénie and Malala!
Dr. Christophe!
We are pleased to announce MBP's graduate student, Christophe, completed his presentation and received his doctorate
on September 30, 2014. His Jury attributed to him a "Mention Très Honorable Avec Félicitation du Jury", one of the highest honors.
Through the representing MBP team, Christophe passed along his full recognition and gratitude to Dr. Louis,
the MBP field team, and staff for the materials, financial and technical support provide for his to achieve his goal.
Christophe, Thank you for your hard work and determination!
Good Luck in all your future endeavors.
Welcome Rikarlo!
The newest addition to the MBP Aye-aye family has a name! It's Rikarlo!
This name comes from a combination of the Aye-aye teams' names - Richard, Kaway, Richard kely, and Laude. This little guy ws born to Tsinjo in Torotorofotsy. He is about one month old now. Congratulations to Tsinjo on her beautiful baby boy and to the dedication and hard work of the MBP Aye-aye team!

MBP's 1st Aquaponic System in Andavakoera, Madagascar
Aquaponics is a food production system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as a variety fish or shrimp in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in... water) in a close and interactive environment. It is the MBP's quest to introduce additional sustainable food production methods to the community of Andavakoera in Antsiranana.
As of September 2013, though a partnership with Whispering Roots, an Omaha-based nonprofit that specializes in Aquaponics, we constructed and tested a pilot aquaponic system in the genetics' lab where we tried to mirror the concepts that we were hoping to build in Madagascar. This test system allowed us to learn the process hands-on as well evaluate vegetative and fish productivity in the system for deployment in Madagascar.
In June of 2014, the MBP began building the first system. Shannon, OHDZA-MBP's office manager and aquaponics expert, was there to assist with the building and setting up of the system. She was also able to pass on some of the knowlege we have gained from genetics' lab model.
New Work Boots With the generous support of the Ahmanson Foundation's grant, the MBP worked to provide new field supplies to our MBP employees, we worked with Canfield's Sporting Goods to purchase new Keen boots, socks and leather protector.
for the MBP Field Teams!
After shipping and customs, the boots were finally delivered. It was a big success! Thanks to the help of Canfield's.
We are excited to pass along some pictures of the boots being passed out to the MBP teams in Kianjavato, Andasibe, and Torotorofotsy. All the teams love their new boots. The Andasibe team is used to wearing boots and instantly felt how the new boots fit so much better. At Torotorofotsy, the team was used to being barefoot or wearing flip flops, so the boots felt very different for them. But they were so happy, jumping up and down and dancing, laughing like little kids as they tested out their new footwear. At the Kianjavato Ahmanson Field Station (KAFS), the boots were handed out by Ed during the KAFS 5 year Anniversary Celebration. He proudly wore his Canfield's T-shirt! Everyone was very excited.
All the teams took the boot protection very seriously and put on cream right away. In one picture you will see Dezy, the site coordinator in Andasibe and Torotorofotsy, is actually putting on his boots standing on his flip flops because he didn't want to get his new boots dirty.
Thanks again to the Ahmanson Foundation and Canfield's!
The MBP is pleased to announce that our Malagasy graduate students recently completed ArcGIS training at the MBP office in Tana. Great job everyone! We look forward to seeing your new mapping abilities :-)
MBP celebrates World Environment Day in Andasibe

Local officals and speakers for the event.
The MBP was pleased to be involved at the celebration for World Environment Day at Andasibe, Madagascar. The MBP initiated the Analamazaotra Re-introduction/Translocation Project (ART Project) in the Andasibe region by re-establishing the Diademed sifaka and Black-and-white ruffed lemur back into their historical habitat range within Analamazaotra Special Reserve. The festivities were led by local community leaders, who spoke about Eco-theology, climate change, and slash-and-burn agriculture.
The MBP's Technical Director, Tovo, presented information about rocket stoves and briquette production, and endangered species. It was a big hit. The local community leaders were especially impressed and grateful for the MBP's "Conservation Credit Program", where local reforestation participants earn credits for planting trees to purchase solar panels and rocket stoves.
Among other topics, great interest was expressed about the dire situation of the northern sportive lemur with only 17 individuals remaining. The audience was also excited that MBP is active in radiated tortoise protection, and is assisting with the most recent confiscation of 968 individuals.

Madagascar Biodiversity Partnership
Malagasy Grad Student Completes DEA
On March 20, 2014, the Madagascar Biodiversity Partnership's General Director and Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium's Department Chair of Conservation Genetics, Dr. Edward Louis, Jr. was present as the external reporter at Mr. James Sedera Solofondranohatra thesis defense entitled "Ecoethologied'une Femelle de Daubentonia madagascariensis dans la Forêt de Kianjavato, Sud-Est de Madagascar. " His degree, which is similar to a masters, is from the faculty of sciences at the Université d'Antananarivo, Départémente dePaleontologie et d'Anthropologie Biologique, with a specialization in Primatology.
With support from Omaha's Zoo Foundation, Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, the San Diego Zoo, and the MBP, Sedera has conducted an excellent research effort on one of the most difficult lemurs or even mammals to study, given that this species has enormous home territories and daily home ranges, are strictly nocturnal, and extremely intelligent at avoidance behavior. His study was conducted for a total of 11 months, primarily in the forest of Kianjavato, part of the FOFIFA Kianjavato, and the Sangasanga Mountain.
Sedera's research is the first comprehensive continuous investigation of an individual free-ranging Aye-aye on the island of Madagascar, which follows up on the pinnacle study by Dr. Eleanor Sterling in 1991 on Nosy Mangabe.
During this time, Sedera worked out of MBP's Kianjavato Ahmanson Field Station monitoring food preferences, habitat use and territory of a female Aye-aye named "Bozy" which included a period of time in which she had a male offspring named "Mena". The results of his study have redefined what scientists understand about this enigmatic species including diet preferences in a lowland forest, territorial home range (many times larger than was documented by Dr. sterling's findings that reported 30-50 hectares for female Aye-aye), reliance on major tree species for food resources, higher use of bamboo for insect resources, use of the upper canopy for food and dispersal, and activity budgets centered primarily on feeding (80%).
Sedera presented his results orally at the International Prosimian Congress meeting at Ranomafana National Parc at the Centre ValBio. His preliminary reports were instrumental in changing the IUCN red data list status from Near Threatened to Endangered at the IUCN red data meeting in Antananarivo.Sedera's efforts will certainly continue to impact and improve the species status and draw interests to further study and protect this singular lemur from Madagascar.

Averting Lemur Extinctions
amid Madagascar's Political Crisis
Click on photos to be directed to Science
Photos courtsey of Dr. Edward E. Louis Jr.
The island nation of Madagascar is well known for it rich diversity of plants and animals and more famously for its lemurs.These primates, however, are the most threatened mammal group on the planet, with 94% of the 101 species of lemurs being in danger of becoming extinct.Poverty, political instability, slash-and-burn agriculture, mining, illegal logging, and an increase in bush meat trade are all factors jeopardizing the survival of these animals.
However, conservationists have not given up and have released a new three year emergency conservation action plan, which is highlighted in the well known journal, Science. One of the authors of this article is OHDZA and MBP's own conservation genetics researcher, Dr. Edward Louis, Jr. Along with thirteen other experts, Louis, put together a plan that identifies 30 important lemur forests for preservation. Each site has an individual strategized plan incorporating local needs but they all have in common the need for community managed protected areas, sustaining and expanding the presence oflong-term research, and promoting and expanding ecotourism.
One of the critical lemur sites listed in the plan is the Kianjavato Classified Forest, located in the south eastern part of the country. Acting on behalf of Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium and the Madagascar Biodiversity Partnership, Louis and his team have diligently been working at this site for several years conducting research and implementing community involved conservation projects.The project Louis is most proud of is the reforestation effort he initiated which has resulted in 78,000 native trees being planted back into the landscape. Louis' efforts have created,and will continue to create, additional habitat for the critically endangered black-and-white ruffed lemur and the greater bamboo lemur that live in this forest.
To support this crucial conservation action plan to save Madagascar's lemurs, a total of $7.6 million will need to be raised. Funds are sought from every level from governments to foundations to individuals. Scientists, including Dr. Louis, are optimistic and say that if implemented such a plan could prevent the extinction of any lemur species inthe next decade and provide the framework for long-term conservation success.

Born: May 01, 1927
Died: June 10, 2014
Ruby passed away peacefully at home Tuesday, June 10, 2014 with family and friends by her side. She became an angel with grace and courage. She had no doubt about the wonderful life Jesus had waiting for her. Her loving sprit and mind were still with her but her body was done with this world.
Ruby was born to Oscar and Florence Gardner at their rural home in Duncan, Oklahoma May 1, 1927. She married J.B. Anderson in 1945 and raised one child Vivian.
Ruby was preceded in death by Oscar and Florence, her beloved J.B. brother Orland (Ida Sue), sister Eudine, infant sister Emma Ann, brother Bill (Pauline), sister-in-law Margie Gardner, niece Shari Hogan and her son-in-law Butch Keen.
Ruby is survived by her daughter; Vivian Keen, brothers James & Gus Gardner, sister Hallene Newman, also numerous nieces and nephews; Linda (Tommy) Cooper, Joy (Eddie) Battershell, Bill (Suzanne) Gardner, Rita (Jim) Herman, James (Mary) Newman, Steve (Nona) Newman, Cathy (Patton) Parish, Carolyn (Greg) Gammon, Greg (Gwyn) Gardner, Tim (Julie) Gardner, David (Sandra) Gardner, Stacy Hackler, Earl (Penny) Gardner, Ralena (Mike) Fewell, extended family Jennifer Mellow, Kirsten Doering, Max Prada. Special blessings to Kirsten, Max and Infinity Hospice who helped bedside care during the last days.
Until the last Ruby continued to cook Christmas goodies, and gardened enough in the summer to feed half the neighborhood.
Funeral services will be held in Duncan, Oklahoma at the Carter-Smart Funeral Home Chapel on Tuesday, June 17, 2014 at 10:30 a.m. She will be laid to rest next to her beloved J.B. at the Duncan Cemetery.
Family visitation will be Monday evening from 5:00 - 7:00 p.m. at the funeral home.
Nephews will serve as pallbearers. A celebration of life in Reno will be planned later this year.

As we pass an elderly woman using a waking stick moving a donkey along the road... Something amiss here perhaps... Just before dark we (after a few more diversions) find the monastery town, and quickly realise this is not the famous on in the book... And what promised ...

'Of all the gin joints...' What would be the chances the group dinner would be in the same restaurant? With perhaps 80 in town? Esa and Daniela walk past me, sheep in tow. Mr Posh Nosh for some reason came over and mentioned my failed 'avoidance scheme'. Declined two offers to sit with the group [I was almost done my meal and had lots to do on the blog yet]. Back after 2030, finishing up c 2145. Sacked out by 2245.
The Eyeball of Bansko
... the hotel around 1 and you know what that means...nana nap time! So after some serious snoozing, we got up around 2 and wandered around the village of Bansko, heading down some lovely little alleyways and spent the rest of the day just chillling out in local bars and caf�s, drinking beer and coffee and relaxing and catching up on our photos and blog time.
It was really great to have a nice chill-out day in the ...

... end. The locals first scrub down their laundry on the concrete bench nearby, then throw it all into the bucket, let Mother Nature do its thing, then hang all their intimates up on the nearby drying racks. Today, one of the locals, was doing their carpets. How they do this in the middle of the winter when there's 3 metres of snow is anyone's guess.
We later got back on our private bus and drove to the nearby ski resort of Bansko. Bansko is like any ...

... 90) for a half litre of good Bulgarian hops, that's a bargain in any man's language!
So the 13 of us hunkered down for an hour and swapped stories of Game of Thrones and drank some local brewskis. We had a couple of the locals stop by and yell some things in Bulgarian at us. None of the townsfolk appear to speak English so everything's done in sign language or smiles. It was all good fun and, as mentioned, the locals seem to get a kick out of having us around. ...

Countertop ovens?
Posted by: theconsultant on Jun-07-06 1:09 PM (EST)
mmm. Jerky!
It just occurred to me that we could use or countertop oven to make jerky in.. would the process be any different from using a regular oven?
We're planning on going camping again in 2 weeks. I hope to see recipes before then! Ok.. so it's just an excuse to make some beef jerky ;-)

The Space
This is a brand new 130-square-meter duplex with 130-square-meter garden. A traditional "échoppe bordelaise".

The bathroom is right next to the room (linen and towels are included).

The duplex has the advantage of being located in a very calm and quiet neighbourhood while being in the city center. We love it!
Getting around
The duplex is close to Tram A. It is located 10 minutes away from Place Pey Berland (city hotel) by walk or by tram (same time).
The city center is roughly 50 minutes away from the airport Bordeaux Merignac.
Other Things to Note
Check-in time is after 5.00pm, but we can arrange an earlier check-in with you.
We love you. But please, respect our home.
Une colocation remplie de personnes adorables, chaleureuses et serviables. Une maison spacieuse très bien située, à 10 minutes à pied du centre ville et pour les fainéants, le tram est à deux pas. Allez-y les yeux fermés !
Melvyn et ses colocs ont été très accueillants ! J'ai passé un week-end sympa et rencontré plein de mondes :) c'était un peu l'auberge espagnole... Contente d'avoir partagé ses 3 jours au sein d'une coloc au top ^^ je vous recommande l'appart et encore plus quand les beaux jours arriveront !
L'appartement de Melvyn est une collocation extrêmement sympathique. J'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à échanger avec les habitants de cette très belle maison.
Par ailleurs, la situation géographique de la maison, très proche d'un arrêt du tram A et de plusieurs stations de VCub, est très pratique pour circuler dans Bordeaux.
Je reviendrai volontiers chez Melvyn lors de prochains séjours à Bordeaux et recommande vivement cette location à la communauté Airbnb
We arrived for our stay with our host not remembering that we were coming. We were alerted that the room was not ready but it would be soon and could shower and put stuff in the room. The shower was cold but we didn't mind as we were aware it's a share house. Later that evening we were reminded of this after the host was also subjected to a cold shower. We left that evening for dinner and returned with the room still not prepared. My partner had just got the flu and it was 10pm. The host explained he thought we would be out later. After reminding him 30 mins after returning, the sheets were changed.
The start was not good but everything was adequate after this. The house is well equipped for tenants. There are allocated places for own things and everybody seems to do their own thing. The host was helpful in pointing out things to do and see. The room is in a quiet space. The apartment is close to the city and the parking is on the street (free). There are spaces but they are tight.
La maison est très bien située pour profiter de Bordeaux et agréable. Les collocs sont accueillants. Je n'ai malheureusement pas pu passer beaucoup de temps avec eux, ni mm pu visiter bdx (séjour pro trop éprouvant!) Mais on se sent chez eux comme à la maison!
Merci de votre hospitalité.

Has anyone else found an increase in politeness since honor was introduced? Just wanted to shout out to the smart designers who brought honor into the game. It's great seeing "gg" and "gg wp" instead of "gg noobs" every game now. Even the winning teams are nicer!
Scarlet Flandre
what is nicer? i dont see it
Dante Brimscone
Been about the same. Still plenty of fun teammates and enemies. Still get at least one troll every 3 or 4 games.
It's a nice function, but until the Honor system rewards something real (like IP) there's no more incentive to play cordially than there was before.

bullnose corners and shoe molding
We had new oak floors and white baseboards installed for our remodel. there are gaps between the floor and the baseboards, some areas are 1/8 inch. we had decided to install shoe molding to cover them but our contractor claims that shoe molding can't be installed on bullnose corners. Is that correct? It seems like it would look odd to not have shoe molding around the corners.
Other option would be to scribe the baseboards but the contractor says they may look wavy afterwards. Any thoughts?
What is a bullnose corner? If it's where the base is rounded at the corners, I've seen shoemold installed on those. I've seen jobs with pre-made inside and outside corners on the shoemold. It wouldn't be too hard to make corners or you could have a millwork make them.
You might be able to wrap flexible shoemold around the corners and miter the ends to meet the wood shoemold on the longer runs. Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006R98WTO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A39EAJK4Y34QD0
I assume you're referring to gaps UNDER the base, not next to it. Scribing the base should fix these, especially if you only have 1/8" gaps. Scribing shouldn't make the base look wavy if done correctly.
It seems like your contractor is discouraging you from either method to remedy this problem. What does he suggest?
Even if you did close that gap it wont keep bugs or dirt from getting back in the walls.
Now closing the gap makes for a better look. And i agree with you that it looks tacky. Especially if its brand new. A good finish carpetner shouldnt even flinch when told to scribe base to a floor. Its almost second nature to them.
gregmills - our GC is the one installing the baseboards. He does do some carpentry but maybe he doesn't have enough experience with this? Should I try to hire someone else to do this?
So we should we scribe vs shoe molding?
jfcwood - our walls are rounded so yes that's what I mean by bullnose corner.
thanks so much for the responses!
