Title: | Radar Study of Seabirds and Bats on Windward Hawai'i |
Author: | Reynolds, Michelle H; Cooper, Brian A; Day, Robert H |
Date: | 1997-01 |
Publisher: | University of Hawaii Press |
Citation: | Reynolds MH, Cooper BA, Day RH. 1997. Radar study of seabirds and bats on Windward Hawai'i. Pac Sci 51(1): 97-106. |
Abstract: | Modified marine surveillance radar was used to study the presence/
absence, abundance, and flight activity of four nocturnal species: Hawaiian darkrumped petrel [Pterodroma phaeopygia sandwichensis (Ridgeway)], Newell's shearwater [Puffinus auricularis newelli (Henshaw)], Band-rumped storm-petrel [Oceanodroma castro (Harcourt)), and Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus Sanborn & Crespo). Hawaiian seabirds were recorded flying to or from inland nesting colonies at seven sampling sites on the windward side of the island of Hawai'i. In total, 527 radar "targets" identified as petrel or shearwater-type on the basis of speed, flight behavior, and radar signal strength were observed during eight nights of sampling. Mean movement rates (targets per minute) for seabird targets were 0.1, 0.1,0.3, 3.8, 0.9, and 2.2 for surveys at Kahakai, Kapoho, Mauna Loa, Pali Uli, Pu'ulena Crater, and Waipi'o Valley, respectively. Two percent of the petrel and shearwater-type targets detected on radar were confirmed visually or aurally. Flight paths for seabird targets showed strong directionality at six sampling sites. Mean flight speed for seabird targets (n = 524) was 61 km/hr for all survey areas. Peak detection times for seabirds were from 0430 to 0530 hours for birds flying to sea and 2000 to 2150 hours for birds returning to colonies. Most inland, low elevation sampling sites could not be surveyed reliably for seabirds during the evening activity periods because of radar interference from insects and rapidly flying bats. At those inland sites predawn sampling was the best time for using radar to detect Hawaiian seabirds moving seaward. Hawaiian hoary bats were recorded at eight sampling sites. Eighty-six to 89 radar targets that exhibited erratic flight behavior were identified as "batlike" targets; 17% of these batlike radar targets were confirmed visually. Band-rumped storm-petrels were not identified during our surveys. |

Kenny Anglin, owner of Kritter Getter Custom Game Calls, spends most of his duck season chasing wood ducks in sloughs and flooded creek bottoms in his home state of Georgia. During the last few years, Anglin has perfected a calling style, as well as a handmade call, to lure these birds into range.
Anglin says calling blind (when no birds are visible) can be amazingly effective on wood ducks. "When shooting light first comes, I always make three or four hen squeals," he says. "If birds on the water start answering back, I'll just call to them from time to time, but not too much. On opening morning last year, they were going crazy answering us back, and they started coming right in. We quickly shot our limit."
In addition to hen wood duck squeals, Anglin imitates the whistles made by drakes, as well as the excited chatter of hen woodies on the water. He says the latter call is especially effective when wood ducks can be seen loafing on the water within 100 yards of the decoys. "It's like a vibrating greeting call," Anglin says. "If you use this call on a wood duck on the water, it's probably going to swim toward you to check it out."
Even with good calling, wood ducks are still wood ducks, and Anglin advises that scouting is the most important part of hunting them. He believes in using only a few wood duck decoys—never more than four and sometimes just one.
"When a wood duck is coming by, he'll either land in your hole or fly on by," Anglin says. "They rarely turn and come back. It's pretty simple hunting, although it can be physically demanding."

"(Growing) was a real slow process," he said. Initially, Gateway was a correspondent with First Wisconsin and Guaranty banks working out of rented space in Kenosha. But gradually, Gateway grew to a successful firm of 25 employees that originates Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae loans from a permanent location at 1202 60th St. in Kenosha. The company has about 2,700 customers and services $335 million in mortgages. Deaton will receive the Kenosha County Entrepreneur of the Year award at the Kenosha County Business Excellence Awards presented by the Kenosha Area Business Alliance and the Kenosha Area Chamber of Commerce. "We're one of the small players in the game and we can really give customized service," Deaton said. "Our goal was to always do the loans fast. We still do that." Gateway's average loan approval time is five to 10 days, while consumers can wait months for larger originators to process applications. While most of the company's clients are in the Kenosha-Racine corridor, Gateway lends throughout the state and is working on getting a license to administer mortgages in Illinois. Though he was losing business to other lenders who entered the subprime mortgage market, Deaton stuck to his original lending guidelines and today boasts a delinquency rate below one percent. "The important thing is we didn't change our underwriting standards," he said. "We didn't have any of the problems that some of the other lenders had." The repercussions of subprime lending have put some competitors out of business, which has been a benefit to Gateway. The company continues to make gradual, conservative changes and stick to its principles, Deaton said. "I try to hire real good people and I try to pay them as much as I possibly can," he said. "We're a service business. That's what it's all about."
Craig Deaton is Entrepreneur of the Year
Craig Deaton was determined to start his own business, in his own way, back in 1983 when he founded Gateway Mortgage Corp.

Junior Brown
If you haven't seen Junior Brown yet, you need to "guit with it"! Junior Brown is a one-man musical hot fusion machine, and he's coming to town with his guit-steel, a unique hybrid contraption that's part electric guitar and part country steel guitar. People call him a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Ernest Tubb. But there's a lot more to say about Junior Brown. There's the fact that he's just about the best surf guitarist around, for example. Or that he's a wonderful composer of traditional country songs, the kind in which each outrageous pun leads you deeper into an emotional blind alley. Come check out the performer voted #1 House Rocker by the readers of Guitar Player! Junior comes to Michigan with a new album, "Volume Ten," featuring such Junior Brown classics-to-be as "Hang Up and Drive" and "Phantom of the Opry."

CIS 9668: Design and Development of E-Commerce Systems
Core Courses:
CIS 5617: Computer Networking and Communication CIS 9615: Design and Analysis of Algorithms
Approved CIS elective courses or approved cognate electives. Normally at least 11 courses must be in the CIS required or CIS electives areas.
Internship: A minimum of 1 credit hour of work or research experience outside of Temple's Computer and Information Science Department is required. Students enroll in CIS 9182 or CIS 9282: Independent Study. This requirement can be waived for students with adequate work experience.
Language Examination: No language examination is required.
Ph.D. Qualifying Examination:
The Qualifying Examination tests the student on the fundamentals of Computer and Information Science and the basic body of knowledge in a track. It consists of a written exam on theory and algorithms, systems, and track-specific material. The Qualifying Exam is given every Spring, usually in late January.
Written Skills Examination:
The writing skills of each Ph.D. student will be formally assessed through a two-hour essay exam that is to be taken in the same semester as the Qualifying Exam. The exam is given once a year, normally a week after the Qualifying Exam. The Written Skills Examination may be retaken once but must be passed before Preliminary Examination II is scheduled.
Preliminary Examinations:
The goal of the preliminary examinations is to test the research skills and knowledge of the student and the appropriateness and feasibility of the proposed research. They are completed in two stages.
Prelim I consists of written and oral components testing advanced track knowledge and in-depth knowledge of the research area. It includes a literature review of the area. This preliminary exam is used to determine whether the student needs to take additional courses in order to support research in the chosen area. Prelim I is open only to the advisory committee and members of the department. Prelim I is to be taken within one year of passing the Ph.D. Qualifying Examination.
Prelim II consists of written and oral components to assess the appropriateness of the research, including approach and methodology. It is designed to ensure that the selected research problem is of reasonable scope and significance and that the proposed dissertation is feasible. The written portion of Prelim II should be of sufficient quality to be publishable as a department technical report. This exam is open to the public.
The Doctoral Advisory Committee evaluates the preliminary examinations. Each member votes to pass or fail the student. In order to pass, a majority of the committee members must agree that the exam has been satisfactorily completed. The successful completion of the preliminary examinations produces a written understanding among the student, faculty advisor, and Doctoral Advisory Committee, specifying the work to be done to obtain final approval of the dissertation.
Students who are preparing to do their preliminary examinations should confirm a time and date with the Chair of their Doctoral Advisory Committee and register with the Academic Programs Coordinator one month prior to the date. The student and Chair will receive confirmation for the time, date, and room of the examination.
Dissertation Proposal:
The dissertation proposal demonstrates the student's knowledge of and ability to conduct the proposed research. The proposal should consist of: (a) the context and background surrounding a particular research problem; (b) an exhaustive survey and review of literature related to the problem; and (c) a detailed methodological plan for investigating the problem. The proposal should be finished and approved no more than one year after completing coursework. Upon approval, a timeline for completing the investigation and writing process will be established.
The doctoral dissertation is an original empirical study that makes a significant contribution to the field of Computer and Information Science. It should expand the existing knowledge and demonstrate the student's knowledge of research methods and a mastery of her/his primary area of interest. Dissertations should be rigorously investigated; uphold the ethics and standards of the Computer and Information Science field; demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the primary area of interest and the broader field of Computer and Information Science; and be prepared for publication in a professional journal.
The Doctoral Advisory Committee is formed to oversee the student's doctoral research and is comprised of at least three Graduate Faculty members. Two members, including the Chair, must be from the Computer and Information Science Department. Committee compositions must be approved by the department's graduate committee. The Chair is responsible for overseeing and guiding the student's progress, coordinating the responses of the Committee members, and informing the student of her/his academic progress.
The Dissertation Examining Committee evaluates the student's dissertation and oral defense. This committee is comprised of the Doctoral Advisory Committee and at least one additional Graduate Faculty member from outside the Computer and Information Science Department. The Outside Examiner should be identified no later than the beginning of the semester in which the student will defend the dissertation.
If a student needs to change a member of a Committee, the new member must be approved by the department's graduate committee and registered with the Academic Programs Coordinator and the Graduate School.
The Doctoral Advisory Committee evaluates the student's ability to express verbally her/his research question, methodological approach, primary findings, and implications. The Committee votes to pass or fail the dissertation and the defense at the conclusion of the public presentation.
Students who are preparing to defend their dissertation should confirm a time and date with their Doctoral Advisory Committee and register with the Academic Programs Coordinator at least 30 days before the defense is to be scheduled. The student and Chair will receive confirmation of the time, date, and room for the examination.
The Academic Programs Coordinator sends the Graduate School a completed "Announcement of Dissertation Defense" form at least 10 days before the defense. The department posts flyers announcing the defense.

This is the Suzuki Kizashi, the sports saloon from the firm more famous for teeny city cars and lazer-quick motorcycles.
Pronounced 'Kee-Zah-Shee' (bless you), it has a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine with a CVT gearbox and looks more like a premium German product than a scratchy Japanese cheapo-box. It has independent multi-link rear suspension and four-wheel-drive capability, too.
There are even plans to make it a hybrid - engineers are working on that as we speak. Unless they're on a quick tea break.
There's some bad news, though. The car has been made with the US in mind and Suzuki is being coy about bringing it to the UK. However, it did hint that - if the time was right - we might get it.
Considering the car has already been developed at the Nurburgring and on some cobbled streets around England, we'd be surprised if it didn't make it to our humble little land.
What do you reckon? It's cooler than a Jimny, eh?

Mercedes all set to launch G63 AMG in India
Article by Ayan Sengupta
Keeping with its plan to bring vehicles in all the market segment in India, Mercedes CEO has announced that the company will launch the much-awaited C63 AMG in India next month. In fact, the launch of the c63 AMG may happen in the first two weeks of February. Speculations surrounding this launch of the C63 AMG have been doing the rounds for a long time. This announcement by the Mercedes India CEO will put an end to those rumors.

Honda Brio to have a new high-end trim?
Article by Ayan Sengupta
Reports on the net suggests that Honda's most popular Brio hatchback will soon have a new top-end VX Brio trim. So far the Brio has been quite well-received by Indian car lovers. But even then the car misses out on some very important features. For instance, the new high-end version of the Brio will have seat adjustment for the driver and most probably, a rear-end defogger.
Honda will be looking to increase the sales of the Honda Brio in India with the introduction of the VX trim level. Currently, the company sales around 200 units of this hatch per month in the country.
Honda was supposed to bring in a diesel variant of the Brio, but that has now been postponed because of the launch of [...]
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible to debut at Geneva
Article by Ayan Sengupta
According to the reports from Autoweek, the new C7 convertible will be making its world debut at the 2013 Geneva motor show, which is scheduled to start from March 5.
This will mean that car may hit the market along with the coupe in the middle of the year but there are also chances that Chevy may delay it with few months. The camouflaged version of the convertible was spotted recently that suggested that the development is still not completed.
It is quite interesting to note that Chevy is selecting Geneva motor show, as Chicago Motor Show is just a couple of week earlier and the New York Motor Show will be following it after a couple of weeks. As C6 made its debut at the Geneva Motor Show back [...]

Ken Duke is the Managing Editor of Fishing Tackle Retailer and the author of two books on bass fishing. Follow him on Twitter @thinkbass.
How do you measure performance in competitive fishing. That's actually pretty easy, though there a lot of ways to do it. In the Bassmaster Elite Series it's done through the pounds and ounces of the five biggest bass you can bring to the scales each round over the course of four days. Though the points system that underlies the circuit has changed over the years, it's always tried to measure the same thing — who's the best fisherman?
And the basis for changes in the system is that reasonable people can differ in their assessment of the various points accruals. Some like one method, others prefer a different one. As long as B.A.S.S. utilizes tournament formats that involve "cuts" so that every angler does not fish every day, there will always be some guesswork and iniquity in any scoring system.
In an effort to make an assessment that's as "apples to apples" as I can get it, I ran all 61 Elite Series tournaments through an analysis that ranked the anglers' finishes on a straight percentile basis. For example, if there were 100 anglers in a tournament and Jeff Kriet finished fifth, he'd score 0.05. The winner would score 0.01 and the last place finisher would score 1.00. The lower the score, the better.
The virtues of such a system are several. First of all, it's simple. Second, it adjusts for variances in field size; Elite events have had as few as 93 anglers and as many as 109 — it wouldn't be fair or accurate to give the same score to the anglers who finished 50th in each tournament. Third, it's fair; anglers are striving to finish as high in the standings as they can in order to earn more money and critical performance points.
Of course, there are also problems with this system. The most notable is that this analysis doesn't reflect the wide gaps in performance that occasionally occur. For example, when Mike McClelland won on Grand Lake in 2006, his margin of victory was 15 pounds, 9 ounces. No one was in the same performance zip code as McClelland that week. Nevertheless, this system can only score him as the first place finisher and the runner up as a second place finisher. As long as there are cuts, there's simply no other good way to do it.
Now that we know what we're dealing with, let's take a look at the 10 best Elite seasons any angler has ever had.
1. | 0.1379 | Kevin VanDam | 2006 |
2. | 0.1388 | Skeet Reese | 2009 |
3. | 0.1474 | Skeet Reese | 2007 |
4. | 0.1490 | Kevin VanDam | 2011 |
5. | 0.1573 | Edwin Evers | 2010 |
6. | 0.1653 | Skeet Reese | 2010 |
7. | 0.1680 | Kevin VanDam | 2009 |
8. | 0.1733 | Alton Jones | 2009 |
9. | 0.1768 | Kevin VanDam | 2007 |
10. | 0.1990 | Kevin VanDam | 2008 |
That 0.1379 by KVD in 2006 means that he averaged a finish in the top 14 percent in 2006. It's the best average finish over the course of an entire season in Elite history. In all, VanDam has half of the top 10 spots.
If you've got a really good memory, you might be saying to yourself "Hey, VanDam didn't win AOY in 2006 — how could he have the best average performance?"
Great question.
KVD was disqualified from the Santee Cooper tournament that year because he allowed someone else to operate his boat during practice while he stood on the bow looking for bedding fish (Randy Howell and Alton Jones were disqualified for the same thing). The rule was new and it cost VanDam the tournament entry, opening the door for Michael Iaconelli to claim AOY. Had VanDam fished the tournament and weighed in just one bass, he would have been AOY in 2006. Rather than the title Ike won, it was the one that KVD lost.
As you can see from those numbers, if you want to win AOY you really need to average a top 20 percent finish for the season. Who's doing that in 2012? Well, our leader at the halfway point, Randy Howell, is crushing it. He's at 0.1061 — way better than anyone has ever done for a full season. David Walker is also posting AOY-type numbers at 0.1717.
In 2010, Skeet Reese was an astounding 0.0314 (he averaged a finish in the top three percent!) for the first five tournaments. The next two events weren't nearly as good and he fell to the sixth best season ever.
If those are the best seasons, what about the worst? Well, since you asked ....
1. | 0.9583 | Brent Broderick | 2011 |
2. | 0.9518 | Conrad Picou | 2006 |
3. | 0.8957 | Kevin Langill | 2009 |
4. | 0.8696 | Scott Ashmore | 2010 |
5. | 0.8572 | Jimmy Houston | 2006 |
6. | 0.8556 | Brent Broderick | 2009 |
7. | 0.8517 | Randy Yarnall | 2006 |
8. | 0.8499 | Paul Hirosky | 2008 |
9. | 0.8412 | Dave Smith | 2009 |
10. | 0.8266 | Mark Burgess | 2010 |
Those numbers are not pretty. In eight Elite events last year, Broderick's best finish was 90th in a field of 99 anglers. The affable Ohioan had an epically bad season that saw him cash no prize money checks at all. Brutal!
And how about the best average finish for a career — who has that record?
As if you needed to ask! Of course, it's Kevin VanDam. With five of the top 10 seasons to his credit, KVD would have to rank head and shoulders above the rest of competition, and he does. Here are the top 10 who have fished a minimum of 24 Elite Series events (three full seasons — just to keep things fair).
1. | 0.1938 | Kevin VanDam |
2. | 0.2501 | Skeet Reese |
3. | 0.3084 | Todd Faircloth |
4. | 0.3096 | Edwin Evers |
5. | 0.3216 | Aaron Martens |
6. | 0.3292 | Alton Jones |
7. | 0.3380 | Michael Iaconelli |
8. | 0.3399 | Steve Kennedy |
9. | 0.3462 | Randy Howell |
10. | 0.3597 | Greg Hackney |
Ott DeFoe and Keith Combs — two rookies from 2011 — have a real shot to crack the top 10 once they have enough tournaments under their belts, but for now their sample size is just too small. They've proven they can compete, but they've fished about one-fifth of the Elite events that the anglers on the list have fished. We'll check back in on them in another year or two.
Next time we'll take a look at what it really takes to qualify for the Bassmaster Classic through the Elite Series.

New 'Star Trek,' sans Shatner, is all about 'ensemble'
May 19, 2013 8:00 AMORLANDO -- Say this much for the new films in the long-running "Star Trek" franchise. They're real "share the wealth" exercises. It's not just about Kirk, Spock and Bones and a couple of red shirts boldly going while everybody else sits idly by.
"A good filmmaker with a great team of writers who acknowledge that they're trying to make something truly an ensemble piece will go to that trouble to give everybody enough to do," says Zoe Saldana, who plays a much more layered version of Lt. Uhura than the classic "Trek" ever allowed.
J.J. Abrams and his team, Ms. Saldana says, followed up with juicy roles and good scenes, and didn't "just stop with casting good people."
Her colleague, Simon ("Scotty") Pegg, is amusingly less diplomatic: "I think that's because Chris Pine is a little less of a camera hog than Bill Shatner."
In "Star Trek Into Darkness," Mr. Sulu tastes command for the first time, Mr. Scott has a crisis of conscience and Lt. Uhura is shaken by those she loses or might lose in a deadly confrontation.
This democratization of the Enterprise is something fans and critics have picked up on. The Hollywood Reporter raved about the extra "human dimensions" and character "undercurrents" that rarely showed up in previous incarnations of "Star Trek."
Mr. Abrams had a number of advantages in that regard. Self-described as nothing like a die-hard fan of "Star Trek," he feels free to take liberties with characters and storylines. And unlike the TV show, he cast established actors in many key roles. Ms. Saldana, 34, already was a movie star, and Mr. Pegg, 42, is something of a brand name in modern British comedy.
"J.J. hired me because he knows that I just feel," Ms. Saldana says. "You provide me an arc, you explain the situation and where I start, emotionally and where I'm supposed to finish, and I just feel. I'm a minute-to-minute kind of person, and that's how I approach acting.
"If that was the reality and I was really on board that ship, I would be so stressed. Sad to be losing people, scared to death of losing Spock. I'd be ANGRY if the person I was in love with was taking great risks. If he [screws] up, he's dead. We're done."
Mr. Pegg, star of "Shaun of the Dead" and the comic relief in the "Mission: Impossible" movies, was brought in to be funny. The new film turns Scotty the engineer into an action hero, of sorts. A funny one.
"I had to get fit," he says. "Really fit. Lots of training. I was staying in Santa Monica, where there's a great set of steps -- 100 steps, mind-blowingly tiring. You have to be prepared for anything, hanging from something for take after take, running, full out, take after take. You have to be fit to go into space."
The "Trek" folks are earnestly avoiding talking about the plot and character twists of "Into Darkness," which drew its (loose) inspiration from the 1980s "Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan," one of the most beloved films in the "Trek" canon.
But one surprise Ms. Saldana is happy to speak of is the return of Starfleet's original "sworn enemy," the Klingons. And since in this "Trek" they don't speak English, well, the Enterprise's linguist and communications officer is who they must converse with.
"For this version of 'Star Trek,' a lot was riding on that first person to speak Klingon on the screen. Uhura. Me. I was just this happy-go-lucky actress, 'Yeah, of course I'll speak Klingon. My character's a linguist! I was in 'Avatar!' I spoke Na'vi.' No problem!
"Come to find out, this mattered. I'd be the person whose Klingon would be sort of the model for all Klingon speak to come. Scary."
With this emphasis on ensemble meaning that every actor now is crucial and all of them have burgeoning careers outside of "Trek," and the fact that director J.J. Abrams is the keeper of the "Star Wars" flame for new films he'll be doing for Disney, might this be the last "Star Trek" we'll see for a long while?
"Actually, I think the gap will be shorter now," Mr. Pegg says, hopefully. Time demands on every actor -- even the leads -- will be shorter, and with Abrams otherwise engaged, "I'm guessing he'll just produce it, and find somebody else to direct the next one. Just a theory, but it makes sense to me."

Wednesday Night EMU - Ohio U. Basketball Game Canceled
By Clark Smith
Jan 30, 2013
Tonight's scheduled basketball game between the Eastern Michigan University Eagles and Ohio University Bobcats has been canceled due to a robbery on the Ohio University campus this morning.
Ohio University officials say a gunman robbed a student around 9:30 this morning. Because the suspect has not been apprehended, Ohio University canceled classes and activities for the remainder of the day. Tonight's game will be re-scheduled.

The City of Winnipeg Public Service is recommending a three-year increase for sewer and water rates in order to fund $1.2 billion in upgrades to sewage treatment facilities, along with tackling the cost of inflation.
Officials said water and sewer rates, including the basic charge, would increase by 4.3 per cent each year from 2013 to 2015. The average homeowner would see an increase of about $3 per month, said the city.
City officials said the proposed increase is lower than previous projections, which called for two six per cent increases, following by a 6.5 per cent increase in year three.
The upgrades to the sewage treatment facilities have been provincially mandated, said the city.
The proposed increase still needs to go before a city committee and then council as a whole to determine whether or not it will be approved.

29 gallon empty usually for all my aquariums i have ideas on wat to put in them...but i have an empty 29 and im not sure wat to put in it so it is up to you the people of the forum to decide wat fish or fishes wil go into this tank so decide wisely haha |
alligators. |
not wat i was thinkin |
how about some Chichlids from Lake Tanganyika like shellies a colony of shellies would be great and fun to watch |
yes, indeed it wasnt what "you was thinkin" however according to you it is "up to us, to decide" - unfortunatly gators wouldnt work ( ofcourse ) so :idea: go with 2 marbeled angels, 1 white angel, and 1 black angel .. i think that would be interesting. if you do this and your adding live plants, i would do the entire tank floor in short foreground plants just to maximize the angels space to swim. |
yeh i have def. been debating the angel idea...idk if i would plant it or not and if i did it def. wouldnt get planted till christmas when i get some money but i mite do angels any other interesting fish |
i love discus butthat would be too small for a good group i also like bichirs! they are fun, cute looking eels, but can also be expensive. but an eel for sure if u want big fish if not go for 25 neons tetras and then 10 cories! :| that would look so cool |
a bichir would not fit in a 29 for its in entire life yeh i was thinkin a big school of neon tetras would be cool and def. some corys do u think i could keep a pair of kribs, some neons, and some corys....this is just one of my ideas...im also debating angels |
4 angels wouldn't work in a 29 gallon, especially if you ended up with a mating pair. Maybe one would work- but more than that won't. They either need to be kept alone or in groups to spread out aggression, and this tank isn't large enough for a group. Neons are probably a bit small, and may get eaten by the kribs. I'd recommend getting a shoal of something a bit larger like red-eye tetras, serpae tetras or tiger barbs. Some other interesting fish would be a dwarf pike like Crenicichla compressiceps or Crenicichla regani. Ctenopoma acutirostre are also unique and interesting. |
I'll always throw my support behind tetras. The tetra+cory+centerpiece fish is something I'm doing, but I'm going to use a german blue ram and a red tailed black shark for the showy fish. |

Match Your Swing to Your Body
There is no perfect swing – only perfect impact conditions. How you get there can be made easier by understanding your own abilities and limitations are and working from there.
If there was a perfect swing, the ideas that constitute it wouldn't have changed so many times over the years. Not everyone is built the same so there cannot be 1 swing concept. You must find out what your body can perform.
I test students very early in their process of buildinng what is best for them. I use 8 different physical tests that show me what each person will be able to do based on their body type, flexibility, balance, speed and strength in certain ares.
These tests will clearly show that person what they will do the best and know that they can perofrm well in certain motions and that they would not perform well in other types of motion.
Understand your stregths and limitations and you will progress much faster.

Nancy Grace Suck-Up Paul Penzone (Ex-Phoenix `Silent Witness' Sarge) Chimes In On Casey Anthony "Guilt"
Before retiring to civilian life a few years ago, Paul Penzone did a very nice job as the Phoenix Police Department's "face" of its Silent Witness program. He always came across in the media as compassionate, concerned, and genuine,
Nancy Grace inspires local lawman to suck up like True Blood vampire |
By that, we mean his pandering to the vicious Ms. Grace, one of the more vile TV "personalities" to come down the pike in a long time.
More than one former police colleague of the old sarge called us after his July 11 appearance on Grace, which came a few days after a Florida jury walked infamous "Tot Mom" Casey Anthony on charges that she had murdered her little daughter, Caylee.
None of the comments about Penzone's comments were positive, and let's leave it at that.
We finally found time to peek at a transcript, during which the histrionic bleached-blonde hostess trashed the Anthony jury (average citizens whom had spent weeks of their lives sequestered in a hotel while the trial continued), the defense team (which, like it or not, WON the flippin' case), and anyone else who came to mind.
Screw the presumption of innocence!
Screw the jury system!
Screw Tot Mom! (We do agree that Anthony is one of the more revolting characters to hit the national stage in awhile, but, sorry, the State of Florida obviously didn't prove its case.)
This was Ms. Grace's lead-in to her brief back-and-forth with Penzone:
"It`s very disturbing to any of us that have been in the system, that have devoted our lives to justice, to see, A, this verdict, and B, the foreperson who doesn`t want to be identified say he`s sick and disgusted at his own verdict. This as Tot Mom set to walk to seven-figure dollar offers when she gets out.
Not really a question there, but Penzone ran with it anyway:
"It was difficult. You know, Nancy, just the week before, I remember we`re saying I have faith in the system, and for those of us like you who have served in the system, when you see an injustice like this, it breaks your heart.
"I have to say this first," Penzone continued. "And it`s not to flatter you, Nancy, but to fight as hard as you do for children who can`t be heard now because of things such as this, there`s not enough credit that goes to you for this. So stay the course, and I appreciate what you do. But to the jury in this issue."
Grace stopped him right there.
Penzone's unasked-for flattery was a wet dream for a narcissist (definition: inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity).
Grace could have cared less at that moment about that evil Tot Mom jury.
Penzone had made it all about her.
"Listen, Paul Penzone," she spat. "I`m not worried about some lawyer or some TV person sitting up on Park Avenue in New York City has to say about me. That`s not my concern. My concern is the miscarriage of justice. And now the jurors, one after the next, claiming, `Oh, yes, we thought she did it, and now give me some money.'"
Penzone rode the old girl on home.
"And I appreciate that so much about you," he said.. "I just -- I have a very difficult time, first of all, with the previous person said about understanding that circumstantial evidence is valuable. Additionally, just 10 hours [of jury deliberation] to change your mind after that trial? I don`t know how it occurred."
Time up, sir, but we are quite sure that Nancy will have you back on her show, and sooner than later.

The Beast Within
Gybbon MacNachton leads his cousins on a race against the Hunters to find the Lost Ones, children born of MacNachtons and Outsiders, and finally bring them home.
Like her mother, Alice Boyd carries the curse of the Nightrider, but unlike her mother, there is no safe home or haven for her and her son.
Alice lost her parents many years ago to the Hunters, and was captured and raped by one as well, now she is a foster mother to three other children as well as her own, all on the run for their lives. Gybbon comes across this feral woman and her children, and knows with certainty that Alice is his mate. Convincing her of his sincerity and that of his kin is a battle unlike any he has ever attempted, and one he cannot afford to lose.
Gybbon and Alice are completely captivating characters, and their story just whets your appetite for more.
The Vampire Hunter
She is the last of the Levenach, and Beatrix has grown so terribly weary of her never ending battle to rid the forest of evil, but it is her legacy, and one she will carry on until her last breath.
One hundred years is an eternity of agony for Alder the White. Losing his humanity and his soul was fitting punishment for his greed, but the time has come for it to finally end.
He only has to accomplish two more tasks to regain his mortality, but meeting Beatrix throws his plans into a tailspin. She is more in every way than any other woman he has ever known, and it takes only a breath of her air to know he is lost. Beatrix never anticipated having a man in her life, but with Alder she is beginning to dream what can only end in tragedy for both of them.
The power of these two beings comes screaming through page after page. They suit each other perfectly and their story reflects this wonderfully.
Laird of Midnight
Kenna Graham's station in life only reinforces the depths to which she has fallen: tavern wench, widow, and now target of the Devil's own spawn.
In his own mind, Laird Finlay MacLain is a murderer of the worst kind, even if it was not by his hand that his clan died.
If it takes an eternity, MacLain will never cease in his hunt to take down the vampires responsible for the mutilation of his family. He has one target left, but discovering Kenna puts all thoughts of killing to the back of his mind. Kenna is terrified, but she cannot decide if it is for MacLain himself, or the power of her feelings for him.
The heat between these two is staggering, and only burns hotter with every page.
The collection of these three stories in Highland Beast holds you enthralled with darkly passionate vampires and the women who can bring them to their knees. I love that they follow the same theme and are centered in the same region, but each story is unique and exciting. The first story is the perfect preview for a series, and one I would hope to read further, while the other two stories feel complete in their delivery. These are all pleasures to read and the compilation a perfect fit.

Satheeshkumar, P and Basheer Khan, Anisa (2012) Influence of Environmental Parameters on the Distribution and Diversity of Molluscan Composition in Pondicherry Mangroves, Southeast Coast of India. Ocean Science Journal, 47 (1). pp. 61-71.
| PDF 645Kb |
Seasonal variation in the distribution of mollusks in relation to environmental parameters was studied at four mangrove stations on the Pondicherry coast during September 2008-August 2009. A total of 37 species of molluscs were recorded, among them 16 species of bivalves belonging to 7 families and 12 Genera, and 21 species of gastropods belonging to 14 families and 19 Genera, with the Cereithedia cingulata being the dominant group. An increase of species density and diversity in the Post monsoon season was observed, with the highest values for both indexes at stations 1 and 2, and the lowest at stations 3 and 4 fine where the sand assemblage was dominated by a few gastropods. Pollution indicator species Cassidula nucleus, Melampus ceylonicus, Sphaerassiminea minuta were found only in highly polluted regions near stations 3 and 4; they were totally absent in moderately polluted areas near stations 1 and 2. From a stepwise multivariate analysis of the different environmental parameters regarding molluscan density, it was found that in all 10 parameters govern the density variation of benthic mollusks in Pondicherry mangroves and that the organic matter of sediment and sulphide, DO, and salinity were the highly significant ones.

You aren't squatting or bending over for jumps and shuffles.
It's been ingrained into my subconscious to keep my weight in my heels for any type of strength training: Deadlift, squats, over-head presses, etc.
I've been having a great deal of difficulty with lateral (side to side) jumps and shuffles, and one of the women I work out with who attended a baseball camp told me it's because I need to push off with the balls of my feet, not my heels. I tried it; it's harder because I'm not used to it, but I think once I get the new technique down it will be for the best.
So let me see if I've got this straight: It seems like any time you're staying in one spot and doing strength training, the weight should be in the heels, but if you're trying to propel yourself in any direction; up, forward, sideways, even a backwards run, then the weight should be in the balls of your feet. Is that the gist of it?
You aren't squatting or bending over for jumps and shuffles.
In all of the universe there is only one person with your exact charateristics. Just like there is only one person with everybody else's characteristics. Effectively, your uniqueness makes you pretty average.
static training = weight over arches, balanced between heels and balls
dynamic training (power/speed/agility) will put you on the balls of your feet more often than not
I didn't like the rules you gave me, so I made some of my own.
Strong people are harder to kill than weak people, and more useful in general. - Mark Rippetoe
A trainer at my chiropractor's office told me to remain evenly on my feet, and try to squeeze the floor with my toes while doing squats. It's very difficult...
Good to know. I think I was compensating for a propensity to leaning forward, caused by insufficient hip mobility. I'll try with the toes "neutral" tomorrow morning.
FWIW: This post over at Robb Wolf's website resulted in a few form epiphanies for me with the breathing/anterior pelvic tilt issue (despite the fact that I don't wear a belt when I lift): Improving Squats with Diaphragmatic Breathing and Voodoo - Jim Laird
Yes, weight lifting over the heels and movement from the balls. (I'm not going to laugh at that no matter what)
For things like jumping, your foot acts sort of like a spring, so the final drive is going to come from the forefoot. Trying to jump only from the heel doesn't allow you to recruit all the muscles in the foot that are meant for that purpose--you're only using the leg muscles that way (sort of like the difference between running in stabilizing shoes as compared to running in barefoot shoes). Also, you will land lighter as well if you are not coming down directly on the heel.
If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive. --Audre Lorde

City of Portland Measure 26-150
Renews Children's Levy: YES
Measures pitched as "helping children" are perennially popular and—like children themselves—adorable until examined closely. The so-called Portland Children's Levy is like a baby's diaper: It stinks, but it's necessary. And somebody should change it already.First, the smelly part: The city of Portland is out of its element when it tries to provide social services. That's the job of Multnomah County. This mission creep bothered us in 2002, when City Commissioner Dan Saltzman first proposed a tax of 40 cents on every $1,000 of assessed property value for child-abuse prevention, foster care, early education and hunger prevention.
The measure before us now would extend the levy for five more years, raising about $10 million annually.
But the Children's Levy operates with admirably low administrative costs and provides good oversight of programs that receive its grants.
We think the taxpayers of Portland should be chipping in to offer a safety net to kids in foster care, who come from abusive homes and who aren't getting three square meals a day.
But so should the taxpayers of Multnomah County to a greater extent. It makes zero sense that a levy intended to help the neediest kids doesn't extend into some of the poorest areas in the eastern portion of the county.
Multnomah County needs to step up and take over the mission behind this levy. Instead, the county has pushed a library taxing district—which cut into money for the Children's Levy.
So vote yes, and consider adding a note to city and county officials, telling them to straighten out once and for all who pays for what.
Measures: 26-151: Fluoridation | 26-150: Children's Levy | 26-152: Natural Areas
Portland Public Schools: Zone 4 | Zone 6
Portland Community College: Zone 2 | Zone 4 | Zone 5
Multnomah Education Service District: Position 1 | Position 2 | Position 3

I am wondering if this is "normal" or not. The oppsite happened the last time I was nursing a 2+yr old while pg. My nursling is 31 months old and nursing 12-13x a day. i am 17 weeks pg. He is still getting milk, (I can see it all over my nipple when he lets go) but my breasts have shrunk from a 38DD to a 36D. My breasts are not tender, but my nipples are to nursing only, and only if I am really full.
The last 2x I became pg while nursing this same child, my breasts grew each time at that time I was nursing 13-15x/day I made it to 14w when my nursling was 1yr and 15w when my nursling was 19mo.
And my first nursling I nursed while pg as well, he was 2-2.5 and my breasts grew with that pg as well, he was only nursing 3-5x/ day.
I did loose weight in the first tri, not m/s just not really hungry. And I havent gained any back (but I did have some weight to spare), my abdomin is getting bigger. Could I just be redistrubuting the weight? has anyone else had their breasts shrink while pg?

Neiman Marcus Unveils Jetpacks. Or, "A New Way For Rich Dad To Hurt Himself."
Our local institution of fashion innovation and gifting technology, Neiman Marcus, has released the 86th edition of its legendary Christmas Book. The shopping season kick-off catalog has morphed over time, growing larger and more extravagant each year. And now, it's offering a jetpack called the JETLEV R200.No, Dad! No!
The JETLEV R200 attaches to its operator with a stylish, 30 pound harness which lifts him up to 32 feet in the air via hydropressure. The whole thing resembles a giant canister vacuum, where you, the elevated human being flung about, are the cleaning attachment. The engine can run for four hours and scoot around a distance of 80 miles before exhausting the tank's 22-gallon gasoline supply.
Want one? No problem. It sells for a $99,500 and comes with loads of accessory toys and a certification and training course, probably to keep this from happening.
Here's a video of the thing in action:

Now that the holidays are upon us (happy holidays!) and the year is about to end, we at OSNews thought it time to finally lift the veil a little bit on the next version of OSNews - OSNews 5. I've hinted at this next version of OSNews here and there in the comments, but we think it's time to make it all a little bit more official by taking in some initial feedback.

Ah, figured as much. Didn't initially notice as I only use OS X for work (mostly just Phase One Capture and Corel Painter).
If you're searching for fonts, you could try Adobe's Source Sans Pro. They're open source, and (from what I can tell) look pretty good on various rendering engines and pixel densities.

Research Interests
This research program has dual foci involving (1) the basic neuro-chemistry and molecular neurobiology of nicotine and (2) cellular and biochemical approaches to understand the action of opioid peptides on the immune system.
The nicotine research uses in vivo microdialysis coupled with measurements of biogenic amines and excitatory amino acids to understand both the neurochemical basis for addiction to nicotine and the beneficial therapeutic effects of nicotinic agonists on hypothalamic and hippocampal function. In many of these studies, nicotine is delivered acutely through intra-jugular catheters and cannulae that are chronically implanted in specific CNS sites. Animals also learn to self-administer nicotine through operant conditioning that mimics human smoking. In vivo microdialysis in these self-administering animals permits analysis of changes in brain neurochemistry and direct correlation of these with drug-dependent behavior. Using RT-PCR, analyses are made of specific gene expression in micropunched areas of brain. Similarly, in situ hybridization analyses are used to characterize the effects of nicotine self-administration on short and longterm changes in CNS gene expression.
Dr. Sharp's research on opioid immunobiology seeks to understand the cellular and molecular basis for the modulatory effects of opiates and opioid peptides on lymphocytes, specifically T-cells. Using fluorescence flow cytometry and RT-PCR, his lab is characterizing the expression of delta opioid receptors on specific subsets of T lymphocytes. Biochemical and immunological approaches (e.g., immunoprecipitation, Western immunoblotting, receptor binding, etc.) are used to elucidate the signal transduction pathways that mediate the anti-proliferative actions of delta opioid receptors on T-cells. Their current focus is on the role of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in opioid signaling, as this pertains to the effects of opioids on MAPK-dependent interleukin-2 production.
