A zoomable interface lets users map bookmarks to the number keys on their phone for easy navigation, and presents opportunities for marketers.
Microsoft spin-off ZenZui has developed a graphical browsing user interface (UI) for mobile phones. The UI maps the nine number keys on a phone to navigational bookmarks.
In the UI, each number key maps to a tile which acts as a bookmark for particular content. Tiles can provide easy navigation to regularly visited sites, such as an Amazon.com shopping page, a local movie theater, Nike.com, or a site for a particular TV show. Users navigate by zooming in through the number keys, or a touch screen on compatible handsets.
The company and technology offer a number of options for marketers, from branded tiles to simple ad placements.
"What the research showed when we did product work was that people are very good at remembering special layouts, but not as good at remembering text or bookmarks," said Eric Hertz, CEO at ZenZui.
Users of the graphical system can map anywhere from nine to 16 tiles, though ZenZui expects to be able to expand the number to 36. Each number key will have four possible bookmarks assigned.
The plan is to offer the browser through carriers, but also off deck for users to download and create tiles independently. ZenZui will push content to the tiles in a manner similar to RSS. "That's music to the ears certainly to the user and music to the ears of the carriers," said Hertz. "It minimizes bandwidth requirements, data is sent during off-peak times."
Management of the tiles will be handled by users on the phone, or on the Web. "Each user will be able to manage and display new tiles on the computer," said John SanGiovanni, co-founder and VP of products and services at ZenZui. "The next time [the user] looks at the phone, they will be there."
ZenZui also has a viral component. Each tile has a feedback channel and a send-to-a friend function. Both functions potentially offer data to marketers and content owners. "We can report to marketers which are the most viral tiles and which are the stickiest," said SanGiovanni.
The UI offers an opportunity to marketers who want to create branded tiles, or advertise on content tiles. Advertisers can see ways they can do more with those tiles through brand extensions and transactions, said Hertz. For pure advertising, each tile has a space for a banner ad. Content owners not wanting to run advertising can opt to lend the space to a particular charity.
The concept began in Microsoft's research department and was then diverted to Microsoft Ventures Group, an investment arm which typically spins out companies which don't fit with Microsoft's core businesses.
ZenZui plans to enter an alpha trial period with around 100 users. It then plans to hold a beta trial with 1,000 or more users by e-mail invite, similar to the beginning of Gmail. General availability is expected in the fourth quarter.
The name ZenZui is derived from "GUI," the acronym for graphical user interface, (define) with a "Z" for "zoom" tacked on to signify the unique browsing method.

The roster of government programs at risk of waste and mismanagement grew to a total of 30 in the latest update from the Government Accountability Office, Congress' watchdog agency.
Programs to regulate U.S. financial institutions, the Food and Drug Administration's oversight of medical products and the Environmental Protection Agency's assessment and control of toxic chemicals were new entrants on the high-risk list.
Agencies have made inconsistent progress in improving existing programs on the list, said Gene Dodaro, GAO's acting comptroller. The published list provides a road map and incentive for agencies to rehabilitate risky programs. GAO will review agencies' latest plans to correct program problems and work with new Cabinet officials on how to prioritize management issues.
"I think we're going to be taking stock and redoubling our efforts going forward," Dodaro said.
The Defense Department continued to dominate the high-risk list with programs related to its business transformation and contract management, he said.
The Homeland Security Department has made more progress in implementing mission activities than in integrating its management functions and determining how to measure progress in its transformation, Dodaro said.
GAO removed the Federal Aviation Administration's air traffic control modernization program from the high-risk list because it had made significant improvements. The program now has stronger management capabilities, an enterprise architecture, and a cost estimating and accounting approach. FAA has also established an investment management process, and evaluated its critical staff shortages and developed plans to correct them.

I would like to know the significance of Gardenias floating in a bowl of water. A friend of mine receives these from a boyfriend and we are wondering what it means, if anything special.
Gardenias and Camellias don't always have the type of stem that allows for nice artful arrangements. Floating the blossoms allows the "face" of the bloom to be seen.
I have always heard that touching the gardenia blossom will make it turn brown. I don't know if that's true, but I always try to avoid doing it.

Treatments of pelvic girdle pain in pregnant women: adverse effects of standard treatment, acupuncture and stabilising exercises on the pregnancy, mother, delivery and the fetus/neonate

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2008, 8:34 doi:10.1186/1472-6882-8-34Published: 26 June 2008
Previous publications indicate that acupuncture is efficient for the treatment of pelvic girdle pain, PGP, in pregnant women. However, the use of acupuncture for PGP is rare due to insufficient documentation of adverse effects of this treatment in this specific condition. The aim of the present work was to assess adverse effects of acupuncture on the pregnancy, mother, delivery and the fetus/neonate in comparison with women that received stabilising exercises as adjunct to standard treatment or standard treatment alone.
In all, 386 women with PGP entered this controlled, single-blind trial. They were randomly assigned to standard treatment plus acupuncture (n = 125), standard treatment plus specific stabilising exercises (n = 131) or to standard treatment alone (n = 130) for 6 weeks. Acupuncture that may be considered strong was used and treatment was started as early as in the second trimester of pregnancy. Adverse effects were recorded during treatment and throughout the pregnancy. Influence on the fetus was measured with cardiotocography (CTG) before-during and after 43 acupuncture sessions in 43 women. A standardised computerized method to analyze the CTG reading numerically (Oxford 8000, Oxford, England) was used. After treatment, the women rated their overall experience of the treatment and listed adverse events if any in a questionnaire. Data of analgesia and oxytocin augmentation during labour, duration of labour, frequency of preterm birth, operative delivery, Apgar score, cord-blood gas/acid base balance and birth weight were also recorded.
There were no serious adverse events after any of the treatments. Minor adverse events were common in the acupuncture group but women rated acupuncture favourably even despite this. The computerized or visually assessed CTG analyses of antenatal recordings in connection with acupuncture were all normal.
This study shows that acupuncture administered with a stimulation that may be considered strong led to minor adverse complaints from the mothers but had no observable severe adverse influences on the pregnancy, mother, delivery or the fetus/neonate.

the banks are arguing with the results....read between the lines folks,,,,,the govt is under pressure to paint a rosy picture as possible and yet the banks still fear the results..HELLO
Bloomberg News either misspoke or spreading misleading rumors. The Stress Tests Results have not been delayed. They Fed has already stated that the results would be released during the week of May 4th. The WSJ (and others) had reported this past Monday (and maybe even earlier) on just that information.From the WSJ on April 27th (Monday):"While the Fed initially planned to release the results of the stress tests on May 4, the government says the results will be released sometime that week."http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124088901025362487.html
hello...regardless of how well capitalized my bank was, I as a CEO would not want the GOV to measure it against a speculative set of circumstances, and then publish the results.
when you use taxpayer money then you tell the taxpayer accurate financial situation..the banks would ask us if they lent us money...sorry,but ita a 2 way street

Arizona Cardinals
Jenkins' touchdowns help Rams to win
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) Janoris Jenkins became the first player in Rams history and the first NFL rookie since 1960 to return two interceptions for touchdowns in the same game and St. Louis dominated the second half to hand the Arizona Cardinals their seventh loss in a row, 31-17 on Sunday.
Arizona rookie Ryan Lindley was intercepted four times in his first NFL start.
Jenkins' returns of 36 and 39 yards emphatically ended the Rams' streak of five straight games without an opponent turnover.
Sam Bradford had a pair of 37-yard touchdown passes - to Lance Kendricks and Chris Givens - for the Rams (4-6-1), who snapped a five-game winless streak and beat Arizona (4-7) for the second time this season.
The Rams' Steven Jackson rushed for 139 yards in 24 carries.

Taxpayer cost for Obama's Hawaii extravaganza now at $20 million
I'm so glad that Americans re-elected the man who 'connects so well' with the middle class. I mean, everyone in the middle class needs a good $20 million Christmas/New Years tax payer funded extravaganza in HAwaii right? Surely, this coming December, all those in the 'middle class' will be popping off to the tropics and waste $20 million, now that those evil right people are paying their 'fair share' right? Yes, Obama's on again, off again, Hawaii vacation costs you, me, and other tax payers a cool $20 million. Mr. Middle Class Obama thanks you for your generous donation.
http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2013/01/04/taxpayer-cost-for-obamas-hawaii-extravaganza-now-at-20-million/Latest Ramblings
Michelle Obama recently revealed that she and President Obama don't give Christmas gifts to each other. They merely say, "We're in Hawaii," and that's Christmas gift enough.
But actually the present is from taxpayers, and it's an expensive one.
The total cost to taxpayers of Obama's vacations to Hawaii since becoming president is likely in excess of $20 million, and possibly much, much more. During a time of budget deficits that threaten the nation's security and its future, the Obamas have chosen to maintain a "family tradition" and vacation halfway around the world instead of finding far cheaper alternatives closer to home.

I did not make this headline up
The University has cancelled classes for Monday
Just got this e-mail:
A message from UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ANN ARBOR

OT: Thursday Night Drinking Thread
Wanted to create my first thread, tonight. First I just want to say how great the board is and it's fun coming on here everyday and sharing the Michigan love.
Tonight is my 7th day--out of a total 11 days--for my current vacation. I'm up north in Bellaire. Just got back from Short's brewery, and I picked up a growler of some nice seasonal beer. It's the "Black Cherry Porter" a very nice stout. It has a tart flavor but a very smooth and roasted finish.
The other drinks on tonight's menu are:
- Irish car bombs. I have some guiness, bailey's and some crappy whiskey.
- Jager Bombs. More of a young man's bomb, thankfully I'm still a young man.
- Vodka + Redbull. Read #2
- A dirty 30 of Busch Light..... would've picked up PBR (same price) but the store was out.
- Smirnoff Lemon. Not sure what to do with this, but we have some... so who knows.
Hope everyone on the MGoBoard has a good night, and here's to Iman Marshall and a 2017 Heisman Trophy (If we get him)!
OT: Favorite Dorm Memory
The other day, my buddy and I were reminiscing on some of the good times we had in the dorms. I think it would be interesting to hear some stories from some of the mgoblog crazies...
Best dorm memory during your time at the university, go!
OT: Email from SAM about recent scandal
I woke up this morning to an email that had come in to all alums of the UM Sigma Alpha Mu chapter (Sigma Iota in internal SAM nomenclature) in light of the recent scandal about the damages at the hotel in upper Michigan. The email came in at 1 AM, so apparently they took a page from the Dave Brandon playbook. As this has been a topic on the boards lately, and people have been asking me if I have heard anything from SAM yet, I thought I would share with you the email I received. The email is from Alan Greenberg, who is an alumni advisor to the chapter at UM. Sorry in advance for the long text box.
By now, you have probably heard or seen the bad publicity about Sigma Iota and their ski weekend event in Gaylord, Michigan. Most of it, but not all of it, is true. There were 115 Sammies and about 100 SDT's on this weekend trip. On Saturday night, things got way out of hand. I am not at liberty to describe what was going on at that time, and also I was not there (obviously). So I do not know exactly what took place. The end result was a lot of damage. The local TV station picked up the story and ran with it, eventually distributing it to every news outlet known to man.
The National immediately took action by placing the chapter on probation and ordering that they cease all regular activities until further notice. That includes social events, fundraisers, taking in pledges, athletics, etc. They also issued an apology on behalf of the National HQ. They have also kept in close touch with our Prior and with me, offering their guidance as to how things should be done. The Prior issued a press release a week ago offering his apologies on behalf of the Chapter. It reads:
We are embarrassed and ashamed of the behavior of a few of our chapter members at Treetops Resort over the weekend of January 17-18. This behavior is inconsistent with the values, policies, and practices of this organization.
Our chapter accepts full responsibility for this incident and we will be working with the management of the resort to pay for all damages and cleaning costs.
We will work within our own organization and with university officials to hold those who are responsible accountable for their actions.
More recently, the chapter has sent a $25,000 good faith deposit to the hotel. The Prior has placed calls to the hotel manager and the mayor of the City. By doing so, he has established a line of communication should either one of these men want to reach out to the chapter. He followed that up with emails of apology to both men, and offered that the brothers were more than willing to come back up there and perform community service for the city of Gaylord. The U of M is conducting an investigation and will turn the information over to a disciplinary panel made up of officers from fraternities and sororities. We don't know anything further about how the University will handle this or what else they will do.
Needless to say, this is a very serious issue. I have been in charge of the chapter since 2005, and we have had zero problems like this until now. This is a big one. Obviously, we hope that it does not result in our chapter being banned. It is more than ironic that this thing happened among a group of guys who were responsible for winning 3 Founders Cups in a row. The chapter has won the Cup 5 out of the past 7 years and was a close 2nd the other 2 years, one of which we should have been first, but the judges made a scoring error! Going all the way back to 1913 when the 1st Cup was awarded, this 7 year string of success is totally unprecedented.
And then there is academics. Every year the chapter has the highest GPA on campus! The guys have put in a countless number of hours for philanthropic fund raisers, and they have raised 100's of 1,000's of dollars. It is really a shame that a small quantity of guys created such a mess for everyone; the National HQ, the other brothers, our House Corporation, and themselves. Things were going great, and then this turned everything around 180 in an instant.
We shall see where the investigation goes and how it will work. I will try to keep you posted.
Fraternally, Alan Greenberg
So, that is what they said. If you want me to not share any further updates I receive from either national or UM SAM in the future, let me know, and I will not post these emails. I only am posting this as I have been asked if I had received anything yet.
OT: 5 more UM fraternities & sororities suspended
So, media outlets are reporting that in addition to Sigma Alpha Mu, the 5 additional fraternities and sororities involved in damage to ski resorts have been suspended by their National Organizations.
LINK: http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2015/01/26/um-fraternities-sororities-suspended-vandalism/22377933/
Pi Kappa and Chi Psi fraternities and Sigma Delta Tau, Alpha Phi and Delata Gamma sororities were placed on suspension by their national offices over the weekend, joining Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity, which was suspended last week.
The fraternities and sororities inflicted tens of thousands of dollars in damages on scores of rooms rented Jan. 16-17 at Treetops Resort in Gaylord and Boyne Highlands in Harbor Springs, according to UM officials.
"These incidents simply do not reflect the University of Michigan's values or its expectations," said E. Royster Harper, vice president for student life. "The behaviors are a contradiction of what it means to be in and of a community, and we do not believe that being away from campus is a license to act in destructive and irresponsible ways."
Note: you would think that the newspaper could get the names right. Pi Kappa? Delata Gamma? It shouldn't be that hard to have an editor figure that out. FTR, the Freep got the names of the frats and sororities right, but they aren't quoted or referenced on this website.
OT: RAGSNOWROK Open Thread
I'm in Connecticut, and the governor declared a state of emergency beginning at 9pm EST. My establishment of employment is officially closed until said state is lifted, and it might not happen until Wednesday midday.
How's everyone on the east coast handling things thus far? Do we drink? Or do we re-enact a disaster film?

Rock has described the show as "The Honeymooners with drugs" and hopes to become a Broadway regular if his stint on stage is a success.
He tells the Associated Press, "I could absolutely do one of these every once in a while. I like this process because it values the writer. Literally, nothing's done without the writer's approval - and that's so different from the movies. In the movies, they kind of hate the writers. The writers' union needs a Rosa Parks."

Goth girls to survivalists, bovines to bibles, antique pistols to vintage motorcycles: Alberta-born honky-tonker Corb Lund's songcraft covers it all. From a rustic retreat deep in the Rocky Mountain forest, Cabin Fever, Lund's enthralling new album, evolved from a period of introspection and hard traveling. Just like the prolific Lund's subjects run the gamut, so do the sonics on the live-sounding long-player, ranging from rockabilly to Western swing, cowboy balladry to country-rock. And, of course, the occasional yodel…Cabin Fever follows on the boot heels of Lund's 2009 New West debut, the critically acclaimed Losin' Lately Gambler, his sixth album.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
'Love wins in Newtown'
Ana's family finds strength in faith and friends for her funeral today
NEWTOWN, Conn. -- It's like God is crying, said the blonde woman in the Yankees baseball cap, as rain lashed down on this New England town Friday morning.
A hard wind knocked over Christmas trees set up to honour the dead. Volunteers hurried to pick up tiny angel ornaments and silver balls painted with the names of murdered children. Sodden stuffed animals lay in ever-growing heaps.
At exactly 9:30 a.m., there was silence in Newtown. Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy asked for a moment of reflection and then the sound of church bells ringing across his state. It was a week to the minute since the rampage began. They buried five more shooting victims here Friday. Hearses are a constant presence on the town's tree-lined streets.
The funeral for Ana Márquez-Greene, who lived half her six years in Winnipeg, is today in nearby Bloomfield. Her deeply religious family is calling this "her home-going celebration" and have asked friends and family to wear something purple, sparkly or with sequins to honour their baby girl.
Ana was one of ours. She belonged to our city, to the members of her church family, her friends, to the collective of moms and dads and grandparents of our city. She died in America, in this small, lovely town where residents believed they were out of harm's way. They were wrong. One of the first billboards you see leaving Hartford's airport directs you to a gun store. Under the circumstances, it's a sucker punch.
Newtown is where Ana died, but her parents are determined their daughter's legacy will not be defined by an act of madness. Nelba Márquez and Jimmy Greene are celebrating the girl who loved to sing and dance, the child who once claimed she was going to "teach Jesus to cha-cha."
They've set up a memorial Facebook page, filling it with photos and stories of their daughter and her brother, Isaiah.
"Tomorrow during Ana's home-going, we will light candles for all of her classmates, her principal and all of the teachers and staff who perished," Nelba Márquez posted Friday,
"We will honor the first responders. We will pray and lift up all families involved on that terrible day. Love wins in Newtown."
Earlier, she confessed she was having a tough day. "Sweet Ana, morning times are the worst," she wrote. "You used to wake up this entire house with such spunk! Remember that time I was having a hard time at work and you told me, 'Don't let them suck your fun circuits dry mom'? We are so sad without you."
Their Winnipeg friends, many of whom have flown to Newtown to support the family, say their faith will sustain them.
"Their belief in Jesus Christ is carrying them," said Karen Schroeder, whose six-year-old daughter was a close friend of Ana's. "It's a long road. Ana loved the Lord. She loved to talk about Jesus."
Schroeder and her husband met the Márquez-Greene family at Whyte Ridge Baptist Church. The women became fast friends. The Schroeders learned about the slaughter and Ana's death while they were in Fargo at a hockey tournament.
"We sobbed and sobbed in the hotel room," she said. They broke the news to their children softly.
"We told them that something really bad had happened, that someone had made a poor choice."
There is no language or tradition for this, no prescribed way to cope with the slaughter of innocents. Newtown is draped with earnest signs painted on now-sagging sheets. "Pray for Newtown," they read, strung between trees and across bridges. Cardboard angels adorn a roadside ditch; scores of stuffed bears, candles and bouquets of flowers have followed.
High school girls, giggly in one instant and weeping the next, wear brand-new T-shirts promising to live their lives with peace and faith. There is random tenderness, with residents asking strangers how they're doing, how they're really doing, and offering up a hug if it seems welcome. Coffee was free at the Demitasse café Friday morning, with a donation to the Sandy Hook School trust fund encouraged. Most store windows hold small, defiant signs reading "Sandy Hook We Choose Life." Frank's Unisex is having a cut-a-thon to raise money for the victims' families. The Queen St. Tailor's window is filled with brightly coloured stars, each printed with the name of a dead child.
Under a tarp near the school, the sweet smell of wax from memorial candles mingled with the scent of hundreds of flowers. Father Guilermo Torres stood outside in the rain, offering prayer and comfort to those who asked.
Some people are angry and beyond comfort. Lehana Mercado and John Kim drove to Newtown from the Bronx, N.Y. Mercado, the mother of a five-year-old girl, was carrying cellophane-wrapped red roses.
"I was crying, I couldn't sleep," when she heard the news of the murders. "I won't recover. I don't think America will recover, either. It shouldn't."
Ashley Perrault came to the memorial with her boyfriend and their four-year-old daughter. The little girl goes to a Catholic school. Her mom thought she'd be safe there. Now she wonders if Kiersten will be safe anywhere. They were just babies, she keeps repeating.
Musician Paul Pontillo said he grew up in a rough neighbourhood, where violence was expected. Not here, he said, not in this town that looks like a Norman Rockwell painting.
"My greatest fear is to know now that this could happen anywhere," he said.
The Newtown slayings are this decade's 9/11. The mass murder was a monstrous assault on what we hold sacred, on our sense of personal safety and on the previously held belief that children too young to have enemies are free from deliberate harm. These slayings will shape us and our children for generations.
The Márquez-Greene family is determined they will not crumble from their sorrow.
"Our shining hope is your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. From this we take comfort that you are in a way better place than any of us," Ana's mom wrote. "I miss you so much. I'm going to do everything I can to remember and remind everyone that love wins. I already talked to the governor and the President. I would much rather talk to you though. I love you Ana. Daddy and your brother miss you too."
When U.S. President Barack Obama met the families of the victims, one Winnipeg friend said, Márquez showed him pictures of her two children. He joked that Isaiah's ears stuck out like his, but assured Márquez her son was better-looking. They both cried while they hugged. Obama left with photos of Ana and Isaiah.
Newtown is a place of sorrow now. Flags are flying at half-mast and there are too many dark suits and solemn faces. So many dead. So many shattered families. Today, Ana Márquez-Greene is being sent home.
"Ana was very beautiful," her mother wrote Thursday. "She was also very smart. She was reading at a 6th grade level. She loved math picture problems. She loved arts and crafts. She loved ballet. She loved people fiercely.
"Every day off the bus, she used to wait for us to give her mami and daddy hugs. Now she waits to receive us in heaven. We can't wait for that hug. Love wins."
Don't let them suck your fun circuits dry. Love wins.

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she wrote for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business -- though she joked she'd get around to them some day.
Sadly, that day will never come. Lindor died in October 2014 after a 15-month battle with brain cancer.
Lindor received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and was awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
Reynolds was 56. She is survived by a husband, mother, a daughter and son-in-law and three stepdaughters.
The Free Press has published an ebook celebrating the best of Lindor's work. It's available in the Winnipeg Free Press Store; all proceeds will be donated through our Miracle on Mountain charity to the Christmas Cheer Board.

The weekend includes chapel each day, communion, small group discussions, sharing, music, singing, laughter, and prayer. Georgia Presbyterian Cursillo (GPC) weekends are held twice a year at the very comfortable Pinnacle Retreat Center in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains of Clayton, Georgia.

Preaching the Verbs - A New Approach to Preaching
Date: 5/4/2015 - 5/6/2015
This event is full as of 3/26/15. Additional interested persons may elect to be placed on a waiting list and notified in the event of a cancellation.
If you do a quick survey of any Bible passage, you'll find that the verbs dominate. It's what we do and don't do that preoccupies human beings. And it's the verbs we cannot imagine for ourselves (live, liberate, forgive, resurrect) that the church offers, and that we reach for, week after week. Dr. Anna Carter Florence puts a twist on dramatic theory and invites us to read the biblical "script" by focusing on the verbs that are given and chosen by the characters. What new things will we see and hear in both our sacred text and our human drama when we connect the verbs? How can that, in turn, change and renew our preaching?
Instructors: Dr. Anna Carter Florence, Peter Marshall, Associate Professor of Preaching at Columbia Theological Seminary, assisted by Rev. Khalia Williams, Chapel Coordinator and Adjunct Professor of Worship and Preaching.
Want to stay for an entire week for independent study/worship planning? See extended stay housing option, or indicate on registration form number of additional nights (departure Friday, May 8).

Black Witch in Ohio
A black witch moth was found near Columbus, Ohio. The moth made the local paper.
Here is a link that might be useful: Huge moth makes rare appearance
Way cool!!! There was a report last year of a BWM out in the gulf 25 miles off shore perched on an oil rig.
Nice to see someone so excited about that big moth :o)
They are common here and we tend to take them for granted. It's always nice though to set out butterfly brew or fruit and find one or more coming to feed.
~ Cat
Here is a link that might be useful: Female Black Witch on my community webshots
I was the guy who collected the black witch moth in question. As an entomologist in Ohio, I feel I was pretty lucky to come by a rare gem like the black witch. I encourage you all to keep an eye out for them because there were likely more than one that made their way this far north, in fact I have received a few emails from people claming to have seen them here in ohio.
Congratulations, Josh. How exciting!!! I found one in my yard in '04, as I recall, I had a wonderful butterfly season that year.
You may probably already know, but Mike Quinn, Biologist of the Texas Parks and Recreation keeps records of Black Witch sightings. Here's some information, and his e-mail.
Thanks for sharing.
Here is a link that might be useful: Mike Quinn -Black witch info and e-mail
Yes, the adults will feed on butterfly brew and fruit (fresh or rotting). We bait trees and old stumps regularly at some of our butterfly parks. One of our TPWD parks has moth blacklighting tours each week. That's when you hang a white sheet between some trees and set up a black light behind it. Moths will come to the light :o)
~ Cat
Cool that Josh showed up here.
I would like to point out that the article was NOT buried in the paper. It was on the front page of the local/2nd section.
Josh, I was thinking about you and your moth on Sunday. I went past that McDonalds twice, on my way to and from Lake Choctaw. Made sure to point it out to my kids. I've known about the McDonalds since The Dispatch did the big story about moths out there but I have yet to make it out there at night.
I finally got around to going to the McDonalds where this moth was caught. Went there 3 times last month and once this month. My son caught a female luna which was kind enough to give us some eggs. We have also caught "big poplar sphinx," hog sphinxes, imperials, polyphemus and some stuff I have yet to identify. When you walk around there, you have to look up and down because a lot of moths just decide to sit in the parking lot. The ones on the ground make great photo subjects because they have no interest in going anywhere.
My son and I love going there. My daughter wants to go but it will be a couple years because she is an emotional wreck when she is sleep deprived.
Looks like a male, KC, like the one that visited me the other night.
Since the outbreak of black witches we had before Katrina, I could do without them, myself. I don't know if storms in the Gulf blow them in or what. Speaking of storms in the Gulf, I need to check out Ernesto, I think he's called.
I just wrote about strays heading north in another thread and it reminded me about something I had not posted here.
A guy in Ohio found a black witch shortly after it eclosed. If he takes the first picture 5 minutes later, when the wings are expanded, it is not a huge story. But he got a picture that clearly shows the BW was fresh out of the pupa.
If I found a BW cat in a tree in Ohio, I would go nuts. Finding the moth would be pretty exciting too.
Story link is below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Black Witch spawned in Ohio!
Wow - those pictures are amazing! I'd flip if I found a black witch emerging down here, too! I've seen them on more than one occasion, but I've never seen a caterpillar or cocoon. Several of their host plants grow here on the property, so I'll keep my eyes peeled for them.
They're really impressive moths, for sure!
Wow so glad I clicked in here! What awesome pics. I had no idea there were so many pretty moths. Kcclark, I moved down here from Worthington area a while back, know exactly where you're talking about.
And how cool that they want to go to Mickey D's. You can say, "Let's go get some burgers and moths."
Below, I've linked a Columbus Dispatch story about moths and the West Jeff McDonalds.

- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at AutoTrader full-time (more than 5 years)
Opportunities to travel/dine in different cities, 401K, Brand Recognition, home-office
Lack of Professional Development availability; Ever-changing compensation plan; poor & unprofessional middle-management; cronyism; over-priced products and strong competition...
ATC used to be a great company to work for. The culture was one of appreciating employees' efforts and contributions as the basis, or at least a huge factor, in the success of the company. Compensation was great- you could earn good money; there were several fringe-benefits like employee events, contests with great prizes/money, expenses were approved for most items; nice overnight trips with dining, realistic revenue goals, etc. Overtime, however, - and especially after the acquisition of the other businesses - employees were not celebrated, expenses tightened up big time (I couldn't expense pens or highlighters or post-its, b/c they couldn't be exclusively used for ATC purposes!), goals increased significantly, pay plans changed for the worse (and continued to do so very regularly), career paths vanished, structured/professional management disappeared and was replaced with the people who got in at the right time and stayed friends with the right people and who managed by the seat of their pants (ironically there was way increased corporatism going on as well); prices for dealers increased, and so on!
Ultimately, with all of these changes, hard work became useless. The work load essentially doubled over the past couple years- really impacting work-life balance- and the pay decreased significantly, like 30-40%! The attitude of the company really changed towards reps. You could be retaining hundreds of thousands of dollars (if not in the Million range) and still creating additional revenue but if you didn't meet the increased goals every single time, you were done- bulls-eyed for getting canned. If you're in an area where's there's constant opportunity (new dealers, dealers you haven't maxed out yet...) this might not be a problem, but for a lot of areas, there are NO more new dealers and dealers are NOT willing to pay twice as much for a product they get from cars.com or other places with better results, and having a few different products (that are still pricey) that don't really deliver ROI isn't a help either and isn't fooling dealers. This is a huge area, ATC needs to stop the arrogance. It's not the only thing helping dealers sell cars- dealers know this, competitors know this, but ATC ignores it.?? This is not a great way to ensure long-term adoption and belief in the product.
In addition, if you aren't part of the "in" group or "favorites" you might as well pack your bags...you will be expedited out (especially in the above referenced situation, you'll have the odd's slowly stacked against you...decreased territory, re-alignment that leaves you with less than ideal accounts, singled out & micro-managed, left out of group meetings, scrutinized intensely...etc) and you will have zero career path- you will be overlooked and not even told about opportunities...these will promptly be bestowed on a person of a more favorable status before you even know they exist. Overall, there's a complete lack of structure in how to properly navigate in this company, no uniformity between regions/districts- at best it'll be like fumbling around in an unfamiliar dark room trying to find the light switch.
Take a genuine interest and concern for what's really happening in the field- how reps AND dealer-customers really feel...and make decisions in accordance with that, not despite of! Properly compensate your reps and morale and performance will probably benefit.

I have been working at AutoTrader full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Great benefits, energetic people, lots of opportunity for growth, lots of opportunities to learn via internal training offered weekly at no costs. A lead from where you are type of environment where your input is always heard. Rapidly growing organization means plenty of room to grow current roles as well as find new roles. A company that people actually retire from without being terminated months before retirement! A great place to start and finish your professional career.Cons
Although input is heard, decisions that have negative impacts are made daily by leadership who kind of figure it out as they go. Too many managers with no formal training in their areas who continue to figure it out as they go. The transparency boasted by the company has not proven to be true in all areas.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Trust your knowledge workers input and really "listen" to employees. Not taking action on employee suggestions is a positive sign that you dont really care about their input. Align your department with other ATG & ATC business units for better input and output across the company.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

I worked at AutoTrader full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
Benefits, healthcare, 401k matching 6%Cons
1. ATC bought all these software companies but do not have a knowledge base on how to run them. They basically purchased 4 companies who have overlapping products and by default they pit Homenet, Vin, Vauto and CDM all against each other and want all companies to leverage autotrader to get in with dealers.
2. its not about whats remotely best for the dealer it's about what is financially best for ATC. Example: if a dealer can buy VIN's market-pricing tool for $300 or Vauto for $2000 then they want the VIN rep to back off. Which is fine if all companies are on board which they are not. VIN wants all of their products in stores including Inventory and Market Pricing and Autotrader does not. VIN is not on the same page as Autotrader.
3. VIN pushes ERRONEOUS information to dealers on the capabilities of their CRM, Market Pricing tool, Desking and inventory and ESPECIALLY their Websites/SEO.
4. Environment - While autotrader supposedly has a professional culture they allow VIN and Homenet to be run like unprofessionally and hostile. (in regards to how they treat their employees) Example - constantly swearing at the sales reps and not approving expense reports for their internal amusement which ties up the finances of the sales reps.
5. The offer drastically different pricing to dealers based on the mood of the sales managers (more so VIN than anyone else)
6.
