If you're thinking about becoming a student at Grace College, or you're a member of the 2015 Freshman Class at Grace, we hope to answer many of your questions as you prepare for your first year of college.
At Grace, we provide a comprehensive program to assist first-year students in their adjustment to college life. It is our hope that Grace will become a fast second home for you and that you'll feel supported as you discover and pursue God's calling on your life. The central components of the first-year program are Welcome Weekend (orientation) and Freshman Foundations (FYE 1010). Throughout orientation and the course, freshmen meet in breakout groups of 15-20 students led by a Faculty Mentor and a Student Mentor (an upperclass student). These groups are designed to give first-year students the kind of support needed to adapt to college life. To being preparing for the Freshman Foundations course before orientation, read the Summer Reading Book.
"Welcome Weekend" will be Saturday, August 15, 2015, through Monday, August 17, 2015. Welcome Weekend is the time when Grace welcomes new students to campus and introduces them and their parents to the Grace campus family.
Welcome Weekend 2015 Schedule | Coming Soon!
The Campus Book Store, Business, Registrar, and Financial Aid Offices are all open during Welcome Weekend to assist new students.
Meetings and other events are scheduled throughout the weekend to help new freshmen and transfer students learn about the Grace campus and community and to become familiar with expectations and the campus environment.
In addition, programs are provided during the weekend to help parents learn about the campus community, educational philosophy, and academic commitment of the college and its faculty and administration. New freshmen and transfer students are required to attend the events specified for them on the schedule.
Each parent will be given two complimentary meal passes for the weekend to be picked up at Welcome Weekend Registration. Additional meal passes for other family members can be purchased at the entrance of Alpha Dining Commons.
You will be given a final schedule of Welcome Weekend Events upon arrival.
To assist parents and/or family members, we have a list of available lodging in the Warsaw and Winona Lake area.
For more information about Welcome Weekend, call the Grace College Student Affairs Office at 1-800-54-GRACE, ext. 6466.
These questions (and perhaps a few more) will be addressed in the Freshman Foundations (FYE 1010) introductory course required for all freshmen. It's designed to help students discover their God-given strengths, navigate through current college issues, introduce the student to the mission and expectations of the learning community at Grace College, better understand what makes Christian liberal arts education valuable, introduce students to the value of service in the local community and introduce the students to prospective departments and faculty within the institution. A primary component of this course is a small group discussion led by Faculty Mentors and Student Mentors where students are free to explore ideas with the guidance of the experienced staff and students at Grace.
God's people are hiding in plain sight.
Tens of millions of Christians live in China today, leading double lives to hide from a government that relentlessly persecutes them. By day, Bob Fu was a teacher in a communist school; by night, he was a preacher in an underground house church network. This edge-of-your-seat book tells the true story of Fu's conversion to Christianity, his arrest and imprisonment for starting an illegal house church, his harrowing escape, and his subsequent rise to prominence in the United States as an advocate for his oppressed brethren. God's Double Agent will inspire you to boldly proclaim and live out your faith in a world that is at times indifferent, and at other times murderously hostile, to those who spread the gospel. More Info
The men, women and students below serve as Faculty and Student Mentors (sometimes called "break out group leaders") for Freshman Foundations (FYE 1010).
As a freshman you will meet with your breakout group one or two times a week. Assisting each Faculty Mentor is an upperclass student called a Student Mentor. Together, it is their desire to assist you in any way possible as you transition to college life and begin to feel at home at Grace. Feel free to contact these mentors with any questions you may have—or just to introduce yourself and begin getting to know them.

Achondroplasia is a rare genetic (inherited) bone disorder that occurs in one in 15,000 to 40,000 live births. Achondroplasia is the most common type of dwarfism, in which the child's arms and legs are short in proportion to body length. Further, the head is often large and the trunk is normal size. The average height of adult males with achondroplasia is about 52 inches (or 4 feet, 4 inches). The average height of adult females with achondroplasia is about 49 inches (or 4 feet, 1 inch).
Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disease. It causes abnormal cartilage formation. Males and females are equally affected. Only one gene from one parent is necessary to have the trait. The majority of achondroplasia cases (80 percent), however, result from a new mutation in families in which the parents are average height and do not have the abnormal gene.
The following are the most common symptoms of achondroplasia. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Shortened arms, legs, and fingers with the upper arms and thighs more shortened than the forearms and lower legs
Large head size with prominent forehead and a flattened nasal bridge
Crowded or misaligned teeth
Curved lower spine (a condition also called lordosis [or "sway-back"] which may lead to kyphosis, or the development of a small hump near the shoulders that usually goes away after the child begins walking.)
Small vertebral canals (back bones) which may lead to spinal cord compression in adolescence. Occasionally children with achondroplasia may die suddenly in infancy or early childhood in their sleep due to compression of the upper end of the spinal cord, which interferes with breathing.
Bowed lower legs
Flat feet that are short and broad
Extra space between the middle and ring fingers (also called a trident hand.)
Poor muscle tone and loose joints
Apnea or stopping or slowing sown of breathing for short periods
Frequent middle ear infections which may lead to hearing loss
Normal intelligence
Delayed developmental milestones, such as walking (which may occur between 18 to 24 months instead of around one year of age)
Normal lifespan
The symptoms of achondroplasia may resemble other problems or medical conditions. Always consult your child's doctor for a diagnosis.
Achondroplasia can be diagnosed before birth by fetal ultrasound or after birth by complete medical history and physical examination. DNA testing is now available before birth to confirm fetal ultrasound findings for parents who are at increased risk for having a child with achondroplasia.
Currently, there is no way to prevent or treat achondroplasia, since the majority of cases result from unexpected new mutations. Treatment with growth hormone does not substantially affect the height of an individual with achondroplasia. Leg-lengthening surgeries may be considered in some very specialized cases.
Detection of bone abnormalities, particularly in the back, are important to prevent breathing difficulties and leg pain or loss of function. Kyphosis (or hunch-back) may need to be surgically corrected if it does not disappear when the child begins walking. Surgery may also help bowing of the legs. Ear infections need to be treated immediately to avoid the risk of hearing loss. Dental problems may need to be addressed by an orthodontist (dentist with special training in the alignment of teeth).
Research into the family of genes called fibroblast growth factors discovered the gene that causes achondroplasia. The goal is to understand how the faulty gene causes the features seen in achondroplasia, in order to lead to improved treatment. These genes have been linked to many other heritable skeletal disorders.

Gardening with good intentions: examining the effects of tropical milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) on monarch migration and disease
Ania Majewska – University of Georgia, Odum School of Ecology
Habitat loss is a major threat to monarchs and their spectacular migration. Gardeners attempt to counter habitat loss by planting milkweed in their gardens to provide host plants for monarch reproduction. Yet, the most readily available and easiest-to-grow species, tropical milkweed (Asclepias curassavica), might have negative consequences. This study proposes to investigate the effects of exotic milkweed on migratory monarchs and a monarch-specific protozoan parasite as well as a management technique for the exotic milkweed. This study will provide an evidence-based understanding of the impacts of exotic milkweed on monarchs and yield recommendations for best practices for home gardens.
How do butterfly metapopulation dynamics change in response to fire? Evaluating the impact of burning as a restoration method of remnant prairie habitat on a federally endangered butterfly (Plebejus icarioides fenderi).
Joseph Smokey – Washington State University Vancouver, School of Biological Sciences
Land managers using fire to restore fragmented and degraded prairie sites seek to understand how many sites and how frequently to burn to provide the greatest benefit to threatened butterflies. This study will use a mark-recapture study on U.S. Army Corps of Engineer sites in Eugene, OR, in combination with a fire model to evaluate relative benefits of burning entire, small but well-connected sites versus subdividing small patches for burn management in a Fender's blue butterfly (Plebejus icarioides fenderi) metapopulation. Results will provide ecologists and managers with insight into best practices of fire restoration for prairie butterflies.

Habitat enrichment for butterflies in tropical forest and urban landscapes
Anuj Jain – National University of Singapore, Department of Biological Sciences
Deforestation and habitat degradation are primary conservation concerns, reducing and fragmenting critical habitats and resources for tropical insects. As a result, many threatened insects cannot maintain their own populations and need intervention in the form of habitat enrichment. Experimental studies that manipulate key insect resources and quantify insects' response are lacking, despite these studies' great conservation potential. Using Singapore as a model system, our research will quantify the effect of a habitat enrichment strategy by using larval host plants and nectar plants for four butterfly species (two locally threatened) with different habitat requirements, studied across mature forest, degraded forest, and urban landscapes.
Do corridors increase gene flow in butterflies?
Yu-Hsuan Liu – North Carolina State University, Department of Biological Sciences
Many butterflies are threatened by habitat fragmentation, which causes loss of genetic diversity in their populations, deteriorating long-term survival, and diminishing restoration success. Corridors, which reconnect fragmented landscapes through strips of habitats, are a promising conservation strategy to reverse these adverse effects. However, there is not enough support for the theory that corridors promote sufficient gene flow to assist in butterfly population persistence. I propose to use two well-studied species, the buckeye (Junonia coenia) and variegated fritillary (Euptoieta claudia), in the world's largest corridor experiment at Savannah River Site as a case study to test whether corridors will be an effective long-term conservation strategy for butterflies.

Consequences of selective-herbidice use on butterfly populations: evaluating the magnitude and persistence of negative herbicidal effects on the demography of a lycaenid (Glaucopsyche lygdamus columbia).
Rachel Glaeser – Washington State University, Vancouver
Selective herbicides are a cost-effective tool for controlling invasive perennial grasses and improving habitat for plants and animals. However, these chemicals can potentially alter butterfly demographic vital rates and negatively impact populations. The field component of this study will examine the effects of a grass-specific herbicide on the oviposition and larval survivorship of the Columbia silvery blue (Glaucopsyche lygdamus columbia). A complementary laboratory investigation will evaluate mechanisms for how herbicides might deter butterfly oviposition. The study will characterize negative effects in order to improve spraying regimes and will additionally evaluate the use of a potential surrogate for at-risk butterfly species.
Conservation genomics of the checkerspot butterfly, Euphydryas editha: finding genes responsible for dispersal propensity.
John Schroeder – Stanford University
Many threatened butterfly species face rampant habitat destruction that interrupts metapopulation dynamics of colonization and extinction. These disruptions result from the isolation of a shrinking number of available habitat patches. Thus, reintroduction is necessary to replace the natural process of recolonization following local extinction. Refining reintroduction techniques is therefore important for butterfly conservation. This project seeks to develop genetic techniques to select optimal subsets of source populations for reintroduction. Specifically, it will determine the genes responsible for dispersal propensity, which can then be used to select a subset of the source population prone to remain in optimal habitat patches.

Lessons for conservation of montane butterfly metapopulations in fragmented habitats in the 21st century: The important role of local patch dynamics on metapopulation stability in response to climate change in the American Southwest.
Rachael Ryan – New Mexico State University
Montane butterflies occupying fragmented habitats have been identified as particularly vulnerable to the effect of climate change predicted over the 21st Century. The response to environmental stochastic events is controlled in part by the underlying population dynamics. For classic Levin-style metapopulations, with low dispersal rates, within-patch processes primarily direct population dynamics. The current study seeks to use genetic data from Euphydryas anicia cloudcrofti to understand within patch dynamics influencing the stability of the metapopulation, and use this data to model population viability in response to environmental stochastic events predicted for climate change in the Southwest over a 100-year time scale.
Land Use Abandonment in Eastern Mediterranean – effects on butterfly and moth communities
Jana Šlancarová – University of South Bohemia, Biology Center AS CR v. v. i., Institute of Entomology
The Southern Balkans belong to the Mediterranean global biodiversity hot-spot. As elsewhere in Europe, its biodiversity is threatened by land use intensification and abandonment. Negative consequences for Lepidoptera, well described from Iberian Peninsula, remain practically unknown for the Balkans. We will combine timed surveys (butterflies) and light trapping (moths) to detect abandonment effects on formerly grazed lands in Bulgaria, Macedonia and Greece. Proposed study regions cover the diverse natural and socioeconomic conditions of the Southern Balkans. Diverse data analysis approaches (community indices, ordination, life history traits) should provide a comprehensive picture of how land abandonment affects Lepidoptera in eastern Mediterranean.

The effects of anthropogenic landscape fragmentation on genetic connectivity of Rocky Mountain dotted blue (Euphilotes ancilla) metapopulations.
Elizabeth Paulson – University of Colorado at Boulder
Rapid rates of landscape fragmentation and associated habitat loss across the globe pose a serious threat to biodiversity and the persistence of environmentally sensitive species. Understanding the impacts of land-use conversion and increased habitat isolation on ecological processes such as dispersal and gene flow will allow for effective conservation planning and land-use management practices. This research will delimit the functional connectivity of metapopulations in an anthropogenically fragmented landscape through coalescence-based genetic analyses, in combination with geographic information system (GIS) modeling, using isolation by resistance and circuit theory to model butterfly movement between habitat patches.
Mechanistic Modeling of Monarch Range in Relation to Global Climate Change
Kelly Nail – University of Minnesota
Eastern North American monarch butterflies may serve as a particularly effective indicator species for climate change, in part due to their long migration that necessitates multiple habitats. Monarch butterflies have also previously shifted their migration patterns, which may allow them to better adapt to future climate change. This shift may already be occurring in Texas, where some monarch butterflies are thought to be overwintering instead of Mexico. I propose to study the degree of overwintering in Texas, the cold limits of monarch butterflies, and use this information to inform a mechanistic model of monarch range under future climate scenarios.

Landscape Genetics of butterflies:Exploring the effects of habitat fragmentation on levels of genetic diversity and fitness.
Lindsay Crawford – University of Western Ontario
Effective, long-term management of threatened species experiencing habitat fragmentation requires an understanding of the genetic consequences of such habitat change on populations. This study will investigate the population genetic structure of the bog copper butterfly Lycaena epixanthe in a naturally patchy habitat network and relate the observed spatial patterns of genetic diversity to (1) the surrounding landscape configuration and composition, and (2) components of individual fitness. Using this system as a model, the results from this study will contribute to efforts to predict future population trends and preserve evolutionary potential for threatened butterflies experiencing habitat loss.
Climate change effects on trophic interactions in montane meadows systems
Jill A. Sherwood – Iowa State University
This study will provide an initial examination of climatic trends in an effort to understand how interactions between Parnassius clodius butterflies and their host plant Dicentra uniflora may be affected by climatic changes. The results will provide insight into the phenological interactions of P. clodius and D. uniflora and be used as a proxy for understanding climate change impacts in many systems.

Impacts of Wolbachia Infection on Conservation Strategies for the Karner Blue Butterfly (Lycaeides Melissa samuelis)
Zach Gompert, Graduate Student – Department of Botany, University of Wyoming
Some populations of the federally endangered Karner blue butterfly are infected with a cytoplasmic incompatibility inducing strain of the endoparasitic bacterium Wolbachia. This infection may negatively impact the demographics of Karner blue populations. This research will use molecular methods to assess the Wolbachia infection status (presence or absence and strain of Wolbachia) of Karner blue butterflies from 16 populations covering their extant range. Additionally, computational models will be developed to predict the demographic effect(s) of the spread of Wolbachia to uninfected populations. Findings will inform Karner blue butterfly conservation strategies, particularly regarding the utility of translocations and reintroductions.
Filling in the Gaps: Characterizing Habitat Requirements of an Imperiled Butterfly
Erica Henry, Graduate Student – Science Program, Washington State University Vancouver
Lack of basic biological information about at-risk butterfly species is a key limiting factor in butterfly conservation. This study will fill information gaps for the Mardon skipper (Polites mardon) populations in South Puget Sound. Larval food plants will be identified and Mardon skipper habitat characteristics described with respect to oviposition site selection and general use areas. How the invasive tall oatgrass (Arrhenatherum elatius) impacts Mardon skipper behavior and oviposition will also be examined. Understanding these aspects of the Mardon skipper's life history is vital in developing effective conservation strategies.

Linking Local Behavior and Range-Wide Movement to Conserve a Rare Butterfly in an Urbanized Landscape
Allison K. Leidner, PhD candidate – Department of Zoology, North Carolina State University
Habitat loss and fragmentation by urban development pose severe threats to species viability. This research focuses on a newly identified Atrytonopsis species which uses heavily fragmented sand dune habitat along a 30-mile stretch of North Carolina's barrier islands. Combining local behavioral studies with range-wide analyses of population structure this study will determine the effects of habitat fragmentation and urbanization on the movement of Atrytonopsis. Ultimately, this information can identify features in the landscape that promote movement, and be used to generate conservation strategies that will help maintain the long-term persistence of Atrytonopsis.
Climate Change as a Threat to Geometrid Moths Along an Altitudinal Gradient In the North Eastern Andes of Ecuador
Genoveva R. Castañeda, PhD candidate – Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Tulane University
Climate change is predicted to change species' distributions, potentially decoupling interactions among species, with related consequences for entire communities. Ecological models and empirical data predict that these impacts will be more severe for montane species, as these species have upper limits to potential range expansion in response to warmer temperatures. This study will experimentally extend the altitudinal range of ants, the dominant predators of Eios geometrid caterpillars in the Andean mountains of Ecuador, in order to investigate the impacts that increases in global temperatures will have on ant-plant mutualisms and distributions of Lepidoptera.
Rising Treeline and Shifting Host-Plan Dynamics: Implications for a Monophagous Alpine Butterfly
Kurt Illerbrun, Graduate Student – Department of Biological Sciences, University of Alberta
Climate mediated treeline rise reduces the size and contiguity of alpine meadows worldwide, altering the ecology of alpine flora and fauna. On Jumpingpound Ridge in Alberta, Canada, treeline may be a major determinant of distribution and abundance for Sedum lanceolatum, host plant of the Apollo butterfly Parnassius smintheus, whose larvae are monophagous. This research will examine the effects of advancing treeline and herbivory on Sedum distribution and dynamics, and relate these effects to the observed responses in movement and herbivory pattern of Parnassius larvae. Knowledge of fine-scale resource usage by larvae will aid in understanding and predicting butterfly responses to habitat change in similar environments, with direct relevance to endangered lepidoptera.

Indirect Effects of an invasive gall wasp on a native butterfly, a possible mechanism for population declines in a threatened butterfly species
Kirsten M. Prior, PhD Graduate Student – Department of Biological Sciences, University of Notre Dame
Garry oak ecosystems are hotspots of butterfly and plant diversity in North America. They are under immediate threat, especially at the edge of their range, due to habitat loss and degradation as a direct result of changes in land-use. Population extinctions and declines of a native threatened butterfly species have been observed in locales that are surrounded by an urban matrix, which have outbreaks of a high-impact oak-galling invader. The importance of indirect interactions between these two species mediated by changes in resource quality will be examined to uncover a possible mechanism for population extinctions of this butterfly. As more locales in this region face the threat of urban encroachment, understanding the causes of population extinctions and declines of species in these changing ecosystems becomes increasingly important.
Responses of Butterfly Abundance and Species Richness to Mechanical Treatments of A Sagebrush Ecosystem in the Upper Gunnison Basin of Colorado
Tyler L. Hicks, Undergraduate Student – Department of Natural and Environmental Sciences, Western State College of Colorado
Native sagebrush-steppe ecosystems in North America are rapidly declining due to degradation, fragmentation, and destruction. The lack of natural disturbance and overgrazing has reduced the productivity of these shrublands. Mechanical treatments of sagebrush are being undertaken to increase its productivity. However, the affects of these treatments on sagebrush invertebrate communities is poorly understood. By utilizing butterflies we can monitor how an important component of all ecosystems, invertebrates, responds to these treatments. Here we will determine the effects of two types of mechanical treatment, Dixie harrow and brush mowing, on butterfly abundance and species richness within the sagebrush-steppe ecosystems of the Upper Gunnison Basin.

Biodiversity, systematics, and evolution of Schrankia, a cave and rainforest dwelling Hawaiian moth (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
Matthew J. Medeiros, Graduate Student – Department of Integrative Biology, University of California
Hawaiian Lepidoptera have value as indicator species, as food for endangered birds, and as pollinators. However, many groups are poorly studied. One such group, Schrankia, is interesting because it occurs in two threatened Hawaiian ecosystems: rainforests and caves. Its ecological role and natural history are almost entirely unknown. This study has two main goals: 1) Document the diversity of Schrankia and begin work on a functional key and phylogeny for this group; and 2) explain the distribution and evolution of flightless cave populations of Schrankia, predicting levels of diversity for the Hawaiian cave fauna in general.
Studying the effects of invasive Argentine ants on Lycaenid butterflies
Jessica Shors, PhD Graduate Student, Stanford University
Many North American ants protect North American lycaenid butterfly larvae from parasitism, a mutualism carefully mediated by co-evolution. However, Argentine ants are displacing native ant populations. Because of the geographic isolation between Argentina and North America, it is assumed that Argentine ants cannot protect North American lycaenids. Therefore, Argentine ants have been implicated in the decline of many lycaenid populations, a dire situation because many lycaenid butterfly species are threatened and/or endangered. This study will test this implication with a factorial design, comparing lycaenid larval survivability for ant-exclusion and ant-inclusion treatments in habitat with native ants and habitat with Argentine ants.
Does timing and frequency of mowing affect butterfly assemblages in post-agricultural fields?
Jessica Stager, Graduate Student, Antioch New England Graduate School
Grassland butterflies are declining across the Northeast, and small post-agricultural fields may provide important refuges. These fields may also act as population sinks, however, if field-cutting interferes with key life history periods. This thesis aims to determine whether mowing regimes significantly influence butterfly species richness, abundance, and/or community composition in the post-agricultural fields of the Champlain Basin of Vermont. A non-technical report describing the results and recommendations of the study will be produced and distributed to regional landowners.

Using behavior to link restoration to population dynamics for an endangered butterfly
Leslie Rossmell, Washington State University – Vancouver
This study examines effectiveness of a habitat restoration technique which creates nectar-source buffers adjacent to endangered Fender's blue butterfly habitat. Understanding dispersal behavior is a critical component in designing reserves that serve as sources to bolster the population. Leslie will compare dispersal behavior in buffer areas with and without nectar sources to predict effects on population dynamics. Results of this study will enable better conservation by influencing decisions about reserve design. This behavioral approach links on-the-ground restoration action to population dynamics, a linkage rarely made in scientific literature and one with potential to greatly aid restoration strategies for endangered invertebrates.
Investigating the use of herbicides to control invasive weeds: effects on at-risk butterflies
Cheryl Russell, Washington State University – Vancouver
Northwest prairies support several at-risk butterfly species. These prairies are severely impacted by invasive perennial grasses and few management techniques hold promise in reducing these weeds. Cheryl will investigate the effects of herbicide exposure on at-risk butterflies by using the Puget blue butterfly as a model species. Larvae will be subjected to herbicide exposure followed by assessment of lethal and sublethal effects to make recommendations to land managers on the use of herbicide in these sensitive habitats.

Systematics and status of threatened Hawaiian leaf-roller moths in the genus Omiodes (Gueneé) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae)
William Haines, University of Hawai'i at Manoa
The genus Omiodes contains some of the most remarkable and anomalous of Hawaiian insects. Unfortunately, due to the impacts of non-native parasitoids and habitat alteration, over half of the Hawaiian species are thought to be extinct. In this project Mr. Haines will survey for populations of threatened Omiodes species, map these populations, and assess their status by scoring sites based on presence or absence and parasitism rates. He will also construct a phylogeny of the group, assessing the validity of currently described species.
Microlepidoptera of hill prairies
Terry Harrison, Department of Entomology, University of Illinois
Microlepidoptera are of substantial biological importance in prairie communities. Larvae of almost all microlepidoptera are a food source for a diverse and often specialized array of pathogens, parasitoids, and predators. In this project, microlepidoptera will be collected at eight different hill prairie sites in Illinois. Mr. Harrison will compile the first-ever dedicated species inventory of microlepidoptera in a prairie community within the original range of eastern tallgrass prairie. He will then analyze the data to test hypotheses regarding reserve design and management, which are of critical importance in conservation of endangered biotic communities such as prairie remnants.

Conservation status of species of Cydia, an endemic Hawaiian moth
Peter T. Oboyski , The University of California, Berkeley
This research will document the distribution, natural histories, and threats to endemic Hawaiian moths (Cydia spp.), as well as identify new species and outline their conservation needs. Hawaiian Cydia are extremely important to ecosystems in native Hawaiian forests. The larvae of these moths feed on seeds of endemic leguminous plants, affecting this plant's recruitment, and are the most important insect prey to palila, an endangered Hawaiian forest bird. However, much of the biology of this genus remains unknown. The initial goals of this project are to extensively survey for Cydia species, determine host plants and distributions, and document the native and alien parasitic wasps that depredate them.
Gene flow between populations of the endangered maritime ringlet (Coenonympha tullia inornata) and a common subspecies (C. t. nipisiquit), and its impact on endangered species conservation
Makiri Sei, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
The maritime ringlet is a Canadian federally endangered, rare butterfly that inhabits six salt marshes in northern New Brunswick and a few salt marshes in the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec. Makiri will study the genetic distinctness and the rate of gene flow between the endangered maritime ringlet and a common, closely related subspecies that may live in nearby grasslands. Hybridization with common species is increasingly being examined as a significant threat to rare species, which are often adapted to unique habitats. The use of genetic analysis at the population level is still infrequent in invertebrate conservation, but may determine if hybridization is occurring. This project will consist of three steps: collection of samples, DNA extraction and genotyping, and genotype analysis to estimate the amount of gene flow between the subspecies.

Classic Fit Bootcut Jeans - Petite Sizes: Featuring great-fitting stretch denim and fabulous washes! Our Classic Rise jean sits at the natural waist.
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 3.63 out of 8 votes cast
Flattering jeans
These jeans are so flattering! The higher waste is something I look for and these are just right for me. I am 73 and my 26 year old granddaughter said they were such a good style that she would like some, too!
Holland, Michigan
My favorite pair
The pair I have are several years old. The fit is the most flattering of the many jeans that I have. I hope that the light wash and the other colors will be restocked in this fit!
Nashville, TN
Very Nice Jeans
I really like these jeans. This is my second pair. I have a fairly straight figure so a lot of jeans are too big in the hips/thighs for me. I ordered my normal size 4 and was quite happy. The rise is great and while they aren't tight on my hips they're close enough!
Redfield, NY
Too Baggy
They fit true to size for me...at first. But 10 minutes before I left my house to go to the grocery store they started to get baggy. By the time I got halfway through the store they were saggy. If I had gone down a size they would have been too small. I just got some skinny jeans at another store the same size as these and although they have spandex as well, they stay tight. Sent these back for a refund.
W. Columbia, SC
Too Big
I read the reviews and decided to go up a size. Well, I normally take a size 6 and went with the 8, and they were too big. Now I have to reorder in a size 6. They do have a slimming feel to them, but I found where they started to bag out and droop on me, which is uncomfortable. I'm not one to wear a belt so I prefer to go back to my usual size to see how they fit. I think if you're built more "straight" and not hippy you may want to order your usual size. Otherwise go up a size. I think once I get them to "fit" in my correct size I'll like them!
Straight leg wanted
I purchased the Favorite rise Straight Leg previously but I prefer the Classic Rise. I chose the Classic Rise this time but only saw bootcut available in Classic Rise. Classic Rise Straight Leg should be an option. I also agree that they are not relaxed through hips and thighs.
Fort Lauderdale, FL
Love These Jeans!!
I do agree with the first reviewer that these jeans are cut slim. I did not know that when I ordered the first pair (indigo rinse). I ordered an 8T which works for every pair I have ordered except these. So, I sent them back for a 10T and absolutely LOVE THEM! So much so I ordered a pair in sapphire and one in skylight. They fit great - you just need to go up a size. Also, I love the quality of the denim - not flimsy or thin.
Van Nuys, CA
Not as described in catalog or on-line
NOT relaxed through hips and thighs as described. They are very skinny through hips, thighs, knees. Also catalog does not mention that they have faded wash look.

Once again, an Alabama state senator plans to go after the death penalty. So far all efforts to end capital punishment have gone nowhere in the state legislature. Selma Sen. Hank Sanders says it's a practice that needs to come to an end. "Capital punishment in Alabama as in other places really has been something reserved for poor people," Sanders said. Sanders is pushing several bills. One to eliminate capital punishment, one to put a moratorium on capital punishment, limit the death penalty for mentally challenged, juvenile offenders and restrict judges' sentencing authority. "We spend a lot of money on capital punishment in Alabama. I don't have the figures. We have spent a whole lot of money on so-called capital crime. I think we can do better," Sanders said. Alabama voters remain split over the controversial issue. "African Americans in this state receive a lot more and quicker than others. So for the state of Alabama I think should be outlawed," Wanda Spillers said. "I'm pretty conservative about it. I think it should be left as it is. There should be serious punishment or a plan for serious crime," Matthew Sensintaffer said. Some Alabama lawmakers state they don't believe the legislature will end capital punishment. Still, Sanders is not giving up. He says it's too important of issue not to have a serious debate this year. He also points to a large number of inmates sitting on Alabama's death row. "Either we have more bad people in Alabama or there is a something wrong with our system. I don't think there are more bad people in Alabama," Sanders said.

O's, Blue Jays meet, look to move up in AL East
For the Orioles and Blue Jays, this is supposed to be the season that one of them supplants the typical American League East powers atop the division.
Baltimore is coming off a breakout 2012 season that ended with its first playoff appearance since 1997, while Toronto pulled off a blockbuster trade during a busy offseason to become a popular pick to win -- at least -- its first division title since '93.
Yet as the clubs meet for the first time this season Monday at Camden Yards, they are in a familiar place in the AL East. Though only in the first month of the season, Baltimore sits in third place entering Monday, behind the first-place Red Sox and second-place Yankees, while Toronto is last in the division at 8-11 after rallying to beat the Yanks on Sunday.
"I don't think there's any need for that," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said when asked if there had been any closed-door meetings to address his team's slow start. "They know what's at stake. They're all giving it their best, we just haven't performed the way we hoped. That doesn't mean we're going to, and to be honest, we've run into some good pitching along the way, too."
On Monday, they'll face Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman, who is searching for some answers of his own. Tillman is winless through his first three starts, posting a 7.07 ERA, yet it's another number that has the O's most concerned.
Tillman is yet to make it through the sixth inning, pitching just 14 total frames in his three outings. Orioles starters combined have pitched six full innings in just half of the team's 18 games and only three times has a Baltimore starter recorded at least one out in the seventh.
"We need to start giving our bullpen a break," Tillman said after pitching a season-high 5 1/3 innings his last time out. "That, I'll speak for myself, [I need to] get deeper in these ballgames. Get outs earlier in the count. This bullpen, guys have been picking us up big time. It's our turn to kind of [take] the ball and get things going."
The Blue Jays will counter with J.A. Happ, who will also be looking to make some improvements in Monday's series opener. Happ struggled in his last outing, giving up five runs over 5 2/3 innings Wednesday against the White Sox in suffering his first defeat of the season.
Happ, too, is yet to complete six innings, though he did allow just one hit over 5 1/3 shutout innings in his season debut. For the season, Happ is 2-1 with a 5.06 ERA.
"He's not a pinpoint control guy, but you still have to come in the zone enough to work ahead," Gibbons said after Happ threw just 58 of his 92 pitches for strikes on Wednesday. "He's been great all year, that was his first blip, so he'll bounce back."
Blue Jays: Kawasaki getting a look in leadoff spot
Toronto went with a different approach in Sunday's finale against the Yankees, with Gibbons moving shortstop Munenori Kawasaki to the leadoff spot.
Kawasaki, who had hit ninth in his first eight games, led off the bottom of the first with an infield single and came around to score on a throwing error to give Toronto an early lead en route to an 8-4 victory. The lineup shift came as a result of Jose Bautista's return to the lineup and Rajai Davis' subsequent move to the bench.
"I think he's the perfect choice with Rajai not in there," Gibbons said of Kawasaki. "He's playing good, he gives you a great at-bat every time. He gets on base. With Raj out, give him a shot in there. Getting on base, spark plug, I think he'll do a great up there."
Kawasaki finished Sunday's game 1-for-4 with a sacrifice fly and is hitting .261 while filling in for the injured Jose Reyes.
Orioles: Johnson progressing toward return
Right-hander Steve Johnson threw a side session on Saturday in Sarasota, Fla., as he continues to work back from a lat injury.
Johnson, who will start a rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Norfolk, went 4-0 with a 2.11 ERA in 12 appearances, including four starts, with the Orioles last season. He was 1-0 with a 3.46 ERA in five appearances (three starts) while competing for the final rotation spot this spring before being slowed by the injury.
Worth noting
• Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is 4-for-6 (.667) with a walk in seven career plate appearances against Happ.
• Jays slugger Jose Bautista is 4-for-9 (.444) with a pair of homers and four RBIs lifetime against Tillman.

Scherzer, Buchholz have tough act to follow in Game 2
Righties bring different skill sets but huge challenges to Tigers, Sox
Game 1 of the American League Championship Series will be a tough act to follow. No, make that an impossible act.
It's very, very likely that in Game 2, which pits Detroit right-hander Max Scherzer against Boston righty Clay Buchholz and is slated for Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on FOX, there will not be a no-hitter going until there's one out in the ninth inning.
Slim would be a safe word to describe the chances that the Red Sox will end up striking out 17 times.
You probably wouldn't want to wager that Detroit's starter, even though it's an AL Cy Young Award favorite in 21-game-winner Scherzer, will strike out 12 and walk six over six innings while throwing 116 pitches, as Anibal Sanchez did in Game 1.
In other words, enough about the Tigers' wacky, tension-filled, 1-0 win in Game 1. It's time for the second game in this best-of-seven set, and there figures to be even more drama on tap.
In the aftermath of the Tigers' Game 1 victory, the Red Sox were left wondering where their potent offense went, but if we've learned anything about this team over the course of 162 games and about its veteran players over the course of the last 10-plus years, it's that their memories are pretty short.
"I think we'll be ready to go tomorrow night," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "We have the ability to put tonight behind us, and we'll be ready to go."
Meanwhile, the Tigers would like to tap into some more of the road mojo that let them escape with one tough win. They didn't exactly dent the Green Monster on Saturday, as it turned out. They got only six hits off Red Sox starter Jon Lester, and they struck out four times. Their lone run came on a bloop single by Jhonny Peralta.
And the guy they're facing on Sunday, Buchholz, was 12-1 with a 1.74 ERA in the regular season.
"We could have done a little better with opportunities," Tigers skipper Jim Leyland said. "We have to do a little bit better. But what you're seeing is a lot of good pitching. There [were] two playoff games today, both 1-0 scores. That tells you the quality of pitching in the postseason. We have to do better with our opportunities, but on this one we were able to hold on."
The Game 2 starters bring different skill sets but huge challenges.
Scherzer has done it all this year, from a 21-3 campaign with a 2.90 ERA and 240 strikeouts in 214 1/3 innings to his two wins over Oakland in the AL Division Series -- one as a starter and one as a reliever. Now he's participating in his second straight ALCS, and he knows what he's dealing with in the Red Sox.
"Well, they're just a great team," Scherzer said. "They can grind at-bats out, they don't chase a lot. They foul off pitches. ... You can mention all those things they're very good at; it comes down to attacking the hitters and making sure I'm working ahead in the count."
He has been doing that a lot this year, though Leyland doesn't feel the need to explain his hurler's special season in specific terms.
"I think he's one of those guys that it happens now and then, guys get on a roll, whether it's the guy shooting three-pointers or hot field-goal kicker or whatever it is," Leyland said. "In sports, guys get on a roll from time to time. And he's been a positive roll. ... And that's the type of year he's had."
Buchholz might have put up a big Cy Young challenge if he hadn't missed three months with a strained bursa sac. He was 9-0 with a 1.71 ERA until he went on the disabled list in June, and 3-1 with a 1.88 ERA in the four starts he made after returning in September. In his only postseason start of 2013 thus far, against Tampa Bay in the AL Division Series, he made a quality start, giving up three runs in six innings in a no-decision.
"I wish he wouldn't have missed the three months, I can tell you that," Farrell said. "But every path to a certain player is going to take a different turn on the way. And to say that he's more rested, well, he was also recovering from an injury.
"There's no restrictions on how we plan for tomorrow or plan for a given start. So we feel like he's in good shape physically going into tomorrow."
Tigers: Cabrera exits Game 1 early
Third baseman Miguel Cabrera was removed from Saturday's game in the bottom of the eighth inning and replaced by Ramon Santiago for defensive purposes, as Cabrera continues to struggle from the ailments in his lower body that have plagued him throughout the last month of the season and into October. Cabrera singled his first time up and added a walk in the sixth inning but moved very slowly around the bases.
"We know we're handicapped a little bit because of our [Cabrera] situation," Leyland said. "I think the biggest key in that situation was that the two guys that they had coming up to lead off that inning were [Shane] Victorino and [Dustin] Pedroia.
"Both are excellent baseball players, both smart. Victorino could have dropped the bunt down on Miggy. Pedroia could have dropped a bunt on Miggy. We felt like that was the best way to go."
• The Tigers won Game 1 of an ALCS for the fourth time, following similar victories in 2012, 2006 and 1984. In each of those years, the Tigers went on to win the series. In 22 postseason series, the Tigers have won Game 1 six times (1940 World Series, 1984 World Series, 2006 ALCS, 2012 ALDS and 2012 ALCS). In every case except the 1940 Fall Classic, the Tigers went on to win that series.
• Cabrera's single in the first inning extended his streak of reaching base safely in postseason games with the Tigers to 30, extending his big league postseason record.
Red Sox: Still working the count
Even though the Sox lost Game 1, 1-0, and only got one hit, they still did what they do in regard to seeing a lot of pitches. Sanchez pitched no-hit baseball for six innings and struck out 12, but he walked six and threw 116 pitches.
Farrell saw his offense's continued patience as another positive moving forward.
"We left eight men on base," he said. "[A] characteristic of this team all year is to build a pitch count."
• Prior to Saturday, the Red Sox had been shut out at home in a postseason game only once: Game 5 of the 1918 World Series against the Cubs, which the Red Sox lost, 3-0. The ALCS opener was also the first 1-0 postseason game in the history of Fenway Park.
• At 21 years and 11 days, infielder Xander Bogaerts became the youngest player in an ALCS game since Francisco Rodriguez (Angels) in 2002, and the youngest position player in a ALCS contest since Alex Rodriguez, then with Seattle, in 1995.
Worth noting
• The Tigers became the first team in postseason history to record back-to-back postseason starts of at least five innings in which the starting pitchers allowed no hits. Justin Verlander didn't allow a hit until two outs in the seventh inning against the A's on Thursday in Game 5 of the Division Series, and Sanchez left Saturday's game after six no-hit innings.
• Each of Boston's last four AL Championship Series (2003, 2004, 2007 and 2008) have gone the full seven games; these are the only seven-game ALCS since a Red Sox win in 1986.

Read the great discussion based on a reader-submitted question about autism. Incredible conversation going on!
Many folks support our decision to homeschool. Others think we're crazy. I happen to agree with both camps.
Some days we do school. Some days we don't. It all depends on whether or not I'm in the mood.
I love writing cookbooks, and I pour my heart and soul into each and every one! They're full of my very favorite recipes, photos of life on the ranch, and lots and lots of love.
