Testimony Before the 9/11 Commission
Published: April 14, 2004
(Page 16 of 53)
ROEMER: August 23rd or 24th. Is Mr. Pavitt or Mr. McLaughlin briefed on that as well? MCLAUGHLIN: Yes, sir. I was briefed, I think, several days before. The director was out of town. I heard it first in a very abbreviated manner. And then I think the director was briefed in a...
ROEMER: What was the date that you were briefed? MCLAUGHLIN: I can't recall.
ROEMER: Middle of August? August 15th? Earlier? MCLAUGHLIN: No, I just don't recall. It was some time in August. It was just a couple of days before the director.
ROEMER: Now, do you all share this information, then, with other people at CTC and FBI and other places? What do you do with this information?
TENET:: I believe that the context of the information -- and again, I've got to go back and review all of this carefully. The context of this information is, is it came to us from one of our domestic field stations, who was asked to provide some assistance in dealing with this FISA request. That's the context it came to us. And I believe in that time period we immediately tried to undertake a way to figure out how to help the FBI get data and deal with this particular problem. But I'd really want to go back and check records.
ROEMER: With this interesting, curious, fascinating piece of data, do you share this data at the September 4th principals' meeting with other people in the room at that point when you're discussing this policy that has taken seven months to make its way through the process on Al Qaida?
TENET:: It wasn't discussed at the principals' meeting since we were having a separate agenda. My assumption at the time was, Mr. Roemer, that this was something that would be laid down in front of the CSG and people working this at the time.
ROEMER: Why would you assume that that would be...
TENET:: Because all terrorist...
ROEMER: Why not bring it up to the principals? This is the first principals' meeting in seven months on terrorism. Why wouldn't that be something that you would think would be interesting to this discussion?
TENET:: The nature of the discussion we had that morning was on the Predator, how we would fly it, whether we...
ROEMER: But it's an overall policy discussion about Al Qaida and how we fight Al Qaida.
TENET:: Well, it just wasn't -- for whatever reason, all I can tell you is just it wasn't the appropriate place. I just can't take you any farther than that.
ROEMER: Would it have made any difference if you had mentioned -- did you ever mention it, for instance, to the president -- your briefing the president from August 6th on?
TENET:: I didn't see the president. I was not in briefings with him during this time. He was on vacation. I was here.
ROEMER: You didn't see the president between August 6, 2001, and September 10th?
TENET:: Well, no. Before -- saw him after Labor Day, to be sure.
ROEMER: So you saw him September 4th -- at the principals' meeting?
TENET:: It was not at principals' meeting.
ROEMER: Well, you don't see him...
TENET:: Condoleezza Rice -- Condoleezza -- I saw him in this time frame, to be sure.
ROEMER: OK. I'm just confused. You see him on August 6th with the PDB.
TENET:: No, I do not, sir. I'm not there.
ROEMER: OK. You're not -- when do you see him in August?
TENET:: I don't believe I do.
ROEMER: You don't see the president of the United States once in the month of August?
TENET:: He's in Texas and I'm either here or on leave for some of that time, so I'm not here.
ROEMER: So who's briefing him on the PDBs?
TENET:: The briefer, himself. We have a presidential briefer.
ROEMER: But you never get on the phone or in any kind of conference with him to talk at this level of high chatter and huge warnings during the spring and summer to talk to him through the whole month of August?
TENET:: We talked to him directly throughout the spring and early summer almost every day.
ROEMER: But not in August?
TENET:: In this time period, I'm not talking to him, no.
ROEMER: Does he ever say to Dr. Rice or somebody else, I want to talk to Tenet. Tenet is a guy that knows this situation, has been briefing me all through the spring and the summer. Tenet understands this stuff. His hair's been on fire. He's been worried about this stuff. Is that ever asked? Or are you ever called on to...
TENET:: I don't have a recollection of being called, Mr. Roemer. But I'm sure that if I wanted to make a phone call because I had my hair on fire, I would have picked up the phone and talked to the president.
ROEMER: It was just never made.
TENET:: No.
ROEMER: Last question and I'll be quick. On the NSC staff, Mr. Clarke is there for a long period of time. People have various opinions of Mr. Clarke. There's a great deal of turnover on the NSC staff from 2001 on. Is that correct? Mr. Clarke resigns or moves on in 2001, General Downing (ph), General Gordon (ph), Fran Townsend (ph), is that correct, the line up of people? How does that impact your ability to get information and communicate with the CSG, if at all?
TENET:: I don't believe that it does because there's a standing structure in place. Somebody else may be running it. But my understanding is it continues to work the way it always has.
ROEMER: Despite the importance of personal relationships, you are one of the best in this town and...
TENET:: Well, I don't go to the CSG myself. But I think if we talked to our people, I think our people would say we continue to go to these meetings and impart data.
ROEMER: But you talked extensively with Dick Clarke is my understanding.
TENET:: Well, I don't know if extensively is correct.
ROEMER: OK. Often?
TENET:: Well, I don't know how often in that time period. I mean, there were phone calls, but I can't tell you it was extensive during this time period.
ROEMER: OK. Thank you. And thank you for helping me with the questions.
TENET:: Thank you.
KEAN: Congressman Thompson?

It started small: temporary gravity failures, time reversal loops, entropy reversals. With much fanfare a new government agency was formed with a mandate "to prevent and protect." Its official title: The Federal Bureau of Physics. Humans, if nothing else, adapt to the changing parameters of their existence. What was extraordinary soon became ordinary, a part of people's daily lives. They move on and do what people have always done: survive. But even that new status quo is now under threat. Things are getting worse, and it falls to Special Agent Adam Hardy and his FBP team to figure out what's going on, before it's too late…

Can anybody tell me anything about this bike?
Not going to buy it, just curious. I had never seen those fairings.
Been looking at that for a while myself.
Never saw that fairing either, looks like a batwing!
Sexy bike, imo.
only 13 g's..............
The fairings were made by Wixom Brothers. The lower section is very rare-This is the second one I've ever seen.
I have one. :D
It is pimped out with all of the period correct accessories. Wixom fairing, lowers and trunk, Enduro bags and who now what else we can't see. There is probably $2000.00 in accessories on it. The minimum you will need to drop the oil pan and clean the slingers and do the normal service stuff.
I have one too, Wixom on a '68 R50US, oddly, this bike also resides in New Jersey.
13K? IF it was a R69S and IF it just had its slingers cleaned by someone that knows what they are doing and IF it was in real good shape, sure.
Let's give him a call, do a group buy!
Here's the deal: seller (attorney as I recall) mentioned, all original & matching, from a collection,still titled in PO's name, not currently registered but ridden regularly, slinger & "full" svc performed @ 5k mi ago, though no record of such, 3rd owner-maybe...
Did not get the sense there was to be a price negotiation.
As an editorial comment, seller left me with the impression he is pretty much a dickhead.
Isn't that the 1967 R60LT.:eek1
In case you haven't figured it out yet, the top portion of the fairing is mounted to the forks and the bottom portion is mounted to the frame. In operation the top part turns with the handle bars and the bottom portion goes with the rest of the bike. I've always thought it was a really neat idea but I have no idea what this is like in practice.
A lot of my friends and riding buddies had /2s in the old days, I had a /6. The R69s could take me in the corners but I would pass them on the straight away. The R60 was slower.
I think it's ruffly 4 or 5K over priced. But not really being in tune with current prices I might be off. It seems the experts say it's over priced too.
I too have a set like this, my panniers are different, they are Wixom, just different. Mine fit a US style fork. They were on my 1969 R69US I purchased from the original owner. He had it all installed at the dealer when the machine was new. Kinda Buck Rogers lookin' for me, I took it all off and made it a solo. Yeah, a /2 LT.......good description! :rofl
For some reason, I really dig this fairing without the screen.... If someone has one FS, let me know!

Say, is that you in the photo?
Without a windscreen you are likely to get bugs in your boobs.
Ummm... no, but Gwendolyn does look a lot like a couple of my Exes.
Funny story here on "you know you're a biker..."
I have never seen another '51 R51/3 in person other than pictures and a few yourtube videos. Well, nothing is ever in HD and then I found (CAUTION NSFW LINK) this (CAUTION NSFW LINK)
I had to put this on my big screen and went through the video pausing it on the items I needed to see (air filter, controls...) I really said out loud... "Damn it, just show the freaking bike!"
Then, I thought about what I said and just laughed at myself.

The Ladybug Game is an educational tool originally developed by Dr. Terry Soule as an easy to use way of watching evolution "in action" and as a possible platform for an evolutionary game. The project received further attention and funding from the Beacon Center, and I was hired on to transform it into a useful, engaging educational program. With the help of Melissa Kjelvik (MSU), we hope to disseminate this program to K-6 classrooms in order to give younger students a better understanding of how evolution works.
Source code: evolutionaryLadybugSplitscreenB
Built with Processing
The application is broken into 5 lessons, each designed to help strengthen a student's understanding of evolutionary processes. There are several pictographcal representations of particular information shown below the "leaves" where the ladybugs and aphids are. For each lesson, you can see the current background color, the average color composition of the aphid population on that background, and the evolutionary parameters that are currently active. You can also see what the average chance the ladybug has to "see" an aphid in the population (the lower this number is, the less likely an aphid is to get eaten). Additionally, there is a color-wheel below the leaves which you can use to change the base background color. A short description of the lessons is below.
- Lesson 1: Introduction -- In the first lesson, students get to control the ladybug, moving it around the screen to eat aphids. This is the only "lesson" where the students do this; in all other modes the ladybug is automatically controlled by the computer. One fun thing to do would be to try and eat all of the aphids of a particular color.
- Lesson 2: Evolution in Action! -- This option is really more of a "see it working" sort of thing. The screen is split into two sides, each with its own ladybug and aphid populations. The background of each side is different, and the initial aphids have random coloration. In a few seconds, the ladybug will eat hundreds of aphids, causing new aphids to be "born" inheriting the attributes of one of the remaining aphids on the screen, with small mutations applied to color, speed, strategy, etc. You can see which aphid is currently being targeted by the ladybug by a small "halo" around it (black against light-colored backgrounds, and white against dark or single-color backgrounds). I would encourage students to try changing the background color to something different once the aphids start to "blend-in" to the background leaves, and watch as the population adapts to the new color! A good thing to watch for is when the "halo" seems to blink around the screen rapidly, meaning the ladybug is now having a very difficult time maintaining a target to eat.
- Lesson 3: Variation -- In the next few lessons, a piece of the "evolutionary machinery" is removed, making it difficult (or nearly impossible) for the aphids to evolve and adapt to their environment. In lesson 3, we remove the small variations in speed, color, and strategy when an aphid is born in the left-hand population; each new aphid is now an exact replica of its parent. Students will see the left-hand population quickly converge to many copies of a single individual, usually one of the better adapted individuals in the original population. However, if they once again change the background colors of the right and left-hand screens, they will see that while the right-hand population will once again eventually adapt to the new color, the left-hand population is "stuck" with its original color, since there is no way to introduce new colors into the population!
- Lesson 4: Inheritance -- In this lesson, similar to lesson 3, we remove another of the building blocks of evolution: inherited traits. Aphids in the left-hand population are born ith completely random coloration, speed, and strategy, instead of inheriting these traits from their parents. Interestingly, the population average will drift slightly toward the goal color, because randomly generated individuals whose color matches closely with the background will still be harder to eat, but it will never converge like the right-hand population will.
- Lesson 5: Selection -- In the final lesson, the ladybug has near-perfect vision, removing the aphids' ability to "hide". It will always target and eat the closest aphid within its view, which effectively removes the selective pressure for color! What is interesting about this lesson is that the aphids can still evolve good evasion strategies, and a fun exercise for students might be to figure out what sort of traits are now the ones being selected. Generally, what you will see here are the aphids on the left evolve to hug the corners, since moving from one side of the screen to the other usually breaks the ladybug's target.
Particular attention was paid to making this program easy to understand and interact with. While in the main it is a teaching tool, we also hope that it is simply fun to watch the ladybug zoom around the screen, watch the aphids adapt, and when they start to get too good at hiding, change the background! With this in mind, we welcome any suggestions you might have to improve the user experience.

31 year old man | Chicago, IL, USA | Seeking women 22-35 within 50 miles
A person who articulates witty banter quite well, I live an activity-based lifestyle with a refined social life. Are you a woman that desires to share experiences and emotions of all that life has to offer. If so, let's start with the basics: I can cook. I am clean. I am confident. I am confident that my white laundry is separate from my colors thus I use hot water indubitably! I am creative and honest. Having been suited with long term relationships in my life, I recognize the attention, diligence, trust, and spontaneity required to be successful - ahem, by both sides - oh and of course love, which obviously helps in a relationship. Do you travel? I yearn to travel and covered the US including the big states, Texas and California (withholding the quasi-proposed State of Jefferson, huh? where?). Favorite US cities: Magic City, Mile-High City, Sin City, City that Never Sleeps, City of Angels..Windy City! Haven't been to Alaska, Hawaii, or ... Seattle, though I am not particularly fond of rain - love SUN, SAND, AND SNOW though (can you tell by fav places?). Recently, I've been focusing on no luggage check international adventures and just experienced: London, Amsterdam, Cologne, and Moscow! Next up is … (blindly pointing at a map) … the Arctic Ocean?? Hmm, well maybe….no no, lets try again….Vancouver!? Ok sure. So next up is Vancouver, with a stop in Vegas perhaps…. The recently turned One-year old pup in my photos is Fearless Finnegan. Feel free to call him: Lil' Finn, Finny, F&$^%#!&$^# or F-Cube, the last because my last name starts with "F" thus his initials are FFF! He makes a great running partner, door bell, and specializes in being an alarm clock. Multitalented? Bingo. Wait..bingo? errr... So now that you have become slightly more familiar with me, and hopefully smiled once or twice….who might you be?

Geographic Range
Corvus caurinus lives only along the coast of the northeastern Pacific Ocean between southern Alaska and the northern tip of Washington. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
Corvus caurinus lives mainly in coastal regions near intertidal zones, but can be found along large rivers as far as 120 km inland. They are typically near, but not necessarily in, forested regions and will pull back into the forest edge during harsh weather conditions in winter. Northwestern crows are also likely to live near seabird colonies and refuse dumps. They have also been found living in river deltas, coastal bays, coastal villages, towns and cities, as well as on farmland. They can be found at elevations up to 1700 m. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)

Physical Description
Northwestern crows are mid-sized birds, 41.9 to 44.5 cm long and weighing 340 to 440 g. They have a wingspan of about 99 cm and their feathers are iridescent black with bluish-violet on their head, neck, back, wings, and tail. Their eyes are a smokey brownish-grey color, and their bills are glossy and stout though smaller and less powerful than those of common ravens (Corvus corax). They also have bristlelike feathers covering the nares. Corvus caurinus has thick, black legs with large scales on the front side only. When at rest, the tips of their folded wings do not reach the tip of the tail, which has slightly rounded ends. The sexes look alike, though the male is slightly larger than the female. ("Bird Identification Page", 2001; Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
Immature C. caurinus between 3 to 15 months are also black, but have less iridescence than adults. Their back, wing and tail feathers fade gradually from black to brown. Juveniles from 1 to 3 months have looser, fluffier feathers than adult or immature C. caurinus and their feathers are a dull black. They have blue eyes. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
Corvus caurinus can be distinguished from American crows (Corvus brachyrhynchos) because it is about 10% smaller, with smaller feet. It is also smaller than common ravens (C. corax), and while C. corax has a wedge-shaped tail, the tail of C. caurinus is squarish. Corvus corax also has shaggy throat-feathers which C. caurinus lacks. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)

It is not known when northwestern crows (Corvus caurinus) form breeding pairs, but it is most likely sometime in their second year, prior to the breeding season. If a courtship display exists, it is very subtle and has not been observed. However, prior to copulation, the male droops, spreads his wings and tail, points his bill down and quivers his wings and tail while exposing nictitating membranes (a transparent inner eyelid in birds). The female has a similar display, but she crouches and quivers her tail rapidly. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
Corvus caurinus has been known to participate in cooperative breeding. A mated pair will sometimes keep one of their offspring from the previous season (who has not yet reached sexual maturity) with them on their breeding territory. The juvenile bird helps the male protect the territory, hide food, and, very infrequently, gather food for the nestlings. A breeding pair does not always have a helper; when they do they only have one and it is always one of their offspring. (James and Verbeek, 1983; Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
- Mating System
- monogamous
- cooperative breeder
Young Corvus caurinus probably reach sexual maturity between 15 and 20 months. They copulate and begin building nests from early February through late March. Northwestern crows breed once yearly, but they will renest if disturbed early in the season. The female selects a place to build the nest, normally in or under trees, shrubs, blackberry tangles, or tall grass. Nest-building occurs only during daylight hours and in good weather. Nests are built with branches broken off of trees, grass and moss as well as other objects and soil. Corvus caurinus line their nests with moss, gull and crow feathers and sheep's wool, among other things. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
A female C. caurinus typically lays 3 to 6 eggs per breeding season, laying one egg a day, almost always before 8:00 AM. Eggs are pale bluish with darker brown spots and are subelliptical to oval. They have a smooth, slightly glossy surface and are about 40 mm long and 28 mm wide. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
Incubation most likely begins on the second day, and is performed by the female only. The incubation period is about 18 days; during this time the male feeds the female, most often at a small distance from the nest. After the eggs have hatched, female C. caurinus begin feeding the hatchlings. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
Corvus caurinus typically leave the nest permanently at about 31 days. All of the chicks leave the nest on the same day and stay in nearby trees and shrubs, making short flights when their parents are away. They begin exploring nearby territories between 10 and 14 days and begin feeding themselves as early as 55 days after hatching. Parent C. caurinus will feed fledglings until they are 77 days old.

Adult C. caurinus build nests for their young, then lay eggs. The female broods the altricial young for about 18 days before devoting all of her time to gathering food and feeding them. The male, and sometimes a helper, will bring food from the time they hatch, until about 77 days after hatching. Young leave the nest at about 31 days but still rely on their parents for food as they can only make short flights. They begin to feed on their own starting around 55 days and parents generally stop feeding them at 77 days. Parent birds protect their offspring throughout this time. Immature C. caurinus associate with roosting groups of adults and feed near them for the first year or two, probably to pick up their leftovers and learn the intricacies of feeding.

Corvus caurinus typically lives about 12 years in the wild, if it fledges. The longest known lifespan is 17 years. About 10% of eggs fail to hatch and many hatchlings either starve or are killed before they leave the nest. Some fledglings in coastal territories fall into the ocean and drown or are killed by neighboring colonies of gulls. Disease accounts for few deaths in C. caurinus populations. The main known cause of death is recreational shooting in British Columbia, but food availability is probably a large factor in determining population sizes. Corvus caurinus are not kept in captivity. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)

Corvus caurinus spends the breeding season in territorial pairs. After the fledgling period they gradually decrease territorial behavior and eventually the entire family goes to live in a large roosting community. Yearlings and non-mating adults remain in the roosting community year-round. Within a roosting community, certain birds will act as sentries, keeping an eye out for available food, possible thieves and predators. They communicate with the rest of the flock through calls. Immature birds and fledglings have been known to play with one another while in flight. Corvus caurinus does not have a set hierarchy within roosting groups, but males are generally dominant over females, and females are dominant over yearlings and fledglings. When there is a breeding helper, the helper is subordinate to both adults, but dominant over any other adults trespassing on their territory. (Robinette and James, 2001; Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
Northwestern crows walk, hop and fly. They fly with a steady, regular wing-beat and make use of strong winds to glide along cliffs. They fly at about 30 km/h and have a wing-beat that is faster than that of American crows (C. brachyrhynchos). They are very maneuverable in flight. They have also been seen playing games, flying high into the air in order to drop a stick or stone from their claws or beak then rush back down to grasp it again. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)

Home Range
During the mating season, C. caurinus pairs defend a territory of about 0.48 ha against all other adults, all unrelated fledglings and most or all related fledglings by calling, chasing, flying and displaying. At times they will share a larger range with a loose group of other nesting pairs. Breeding pairs tend to return to the same territory each breeding season and use the same roosting sites for the rest of the year. The size of home ranges is largely unknown and varies based on availability of food. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
Communication and Perception
Northwestern crows C. caurinus communicate mainly with calls. They have a variety of calls with meanings that range from threatening territorial defense calls to begging or feeding calls. Males have a specific call that they use to signal to brooding females that they are bringing food and she should come get some. They are very vocal in roosting groups and use warning calls and mob calls that will quickly bring the whole community together in order to scare off a would-be predator. They also engage in some visual displays, mostly to declare dominance, territory rights and to signal willingness to mate. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
Food Habits
Northwestern crows are omnivorous scavengers. They can and will eat almost anything they can find. Their diet ranges from small invertebrates, to human garbage, to fruit, depending on what is available. Along coasts they feed mainly on clams (Venerupis philippinarum and Protothaca staminea) crustaceans and sand dollars (Dendraster excentricus). The crows pick these animals up, fly high into the air and drop them on rocks in order to break them open. They have also been known to eat sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) off of rocks and to steal eggs and nestlings from peregrine falcons (Falco peregrinus) and cormorants (family Phalacrocoracidae), among others. Blackberries are an important part of their diet, as are many forms of carrion such as fish, dead seals, dead birds, roadkill and dead insects from the grills of cars. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
They can be seen walking along the shore, digging through the sand for clams, stabbing the ground in search of insects and wading in shallow tide pools. They have also been known to root through garbage cans and landfills. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
Corvus caurinus will also cache food in the morning and evenings. Saved items include clams, cormorant eggs, crabs and fish. Cached food is typically retrieved within 24 hours. They also transport cached food for young and incubating females. Food caching seems to take place mainly at the beginning of the breeding season during high tide. It is believed that one main function of caching food is that it guarantees food for the female and nestlings at a time when food could become scarce. Corvus caurinus caches food in vegetation and along rocks. They most often attempt to bury the food and seem to memorize its location in order to find it again.

As a social animal, C. caurinus relies greatly on roosting partners for protection. They alert one another to predators with calls and then mob the potential predator and create a deafening noise by calling together. They tend to perch above predators and call down at them. They have been seen mobbing northern harriers (Circus cyaneus), hawks (Accipiter striatus and Buteo jamaicensis) , owls (Tyto alba, Asio flammeus and Asio otus), gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis), domestic cats (Felis silvestris), dogs (Canis lupus familiaris) and people. They also chase young birds, juvenile squirrels and raccoons (Procyon lotor). Many predators, such as garter snakes (genus Thamnophis), other birds, and possibly gray squirrels, are primarily a threat to nestlings and fledglings, these animals are attacked, chased or mobbed by the parents.
Predators of C. caurinus include: northern harriers (Circus cyaneus), sharp-shinned hawks (Accipiter striatus), red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis), owls (Tyto alba, Asio flammeus and Asio otus), gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis), domestic cats (Felis silvestris), dogs (Canis lupus familiaris), raccoons (Procyon lotor), northern goshawks (Accipiter gentilis), garter snakes (genus Thamnophis), Cooper's hawks (Accipiter cooperii) and bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus).

Ecosystem Roles
Corvus caurinus feeds on many different organisms, both living and dead. It eats many of the species that inhabit northern tide pools and cleans up carrion and refuse in all of its habitats. It is prey to some large sea birds and some smaller vertebrates feed on C. caurinus nestlings. Nestlings and adults serve as hosts to louse flies, bird blow fly larvae (Protocaliphora braueri), fleas Ceratophyllus niger, and feather louse Myrsidea interrupta. (Robinette and James, 2001; Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
Blackberries are also an important food for C. caurinus and it acts as a disperser of blackberry seeds. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
- Ecosystem Impact
- disperses seeds
- biodegradation
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
Corvus caurinus provides an important cleaning service to humans. It keeps shorelines and riversides free of refuse and carrion. It also plays an important role in keeping tide pool ecosystems in check. Studies show that predatory sea birds, including C. caurinus are a significant factor in controlling sea urchin populations. Northwestern crows hold down populations of clams and crabs, preventing overpopulation and maintaining biodiversity in the ocean and intertidal zones. (Robinette and James, 1997; Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
- Positive Impacts
- controls pest population
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
Northwestern crows have been known to feed on crops. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)
- Negative Impacts
- crop pest
Conservation Status
This species is protected by the US Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Overall, (C. caurinus) has benefited from human contact because humans clear out deep forests creating more of the open, forest fringe which these crows thrive in. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)

Other Comments
Very little research has been done on C. caurinus, it is a relatively restricted species that occupies an unfriendly environment so it does not come into contact with humans very often. It also seems to have a fairly stable population. The number of individuals in a given area is based largely upon food availability and how many birds the area can support. (Verbeek and Butler, 1999)

Goat cheese chicken makes most of early onions
Hand in hand with the organic food craze, the local food craze and the environmental craze, comes seasonal food craze.
Americans used to revel in the excitement of using blueberries in January, oranges in July and tomatoes in December.
But, as it turns out, December tomatoes aren't so great after all.
Beyond the disappointing taste and texture lies the expensive and carbon-spewing fuel used to find and bring the produce from warmer climates.
Food in season contains not only more nutrients and flavor, but it comes at a lower cost, because supplies are high.
Cooking Light magazine jumps on the bandwagon with its new book "Cooking Through The Seasons."
It splits information into spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It contains recipes that use seasonal food, as well as charts that show what's in season, and what you need in the kitchen to help you prepare them.
In short, if you can't be with the fruits you love, love the ones you're with.

Revolution will consume PDP in 2015- Buhari
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will be consumed by a political revolution during the 2015 election says former Head of State and Presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Major General Muhammadu Buhari.
Buhari said at poverty alleviation programme organized by a member of the House of Representatives representing Kaduna North Federal constituency on the platform of the CPC, Usman Bawa on Saturday in Kaduna that the PDP will be in political turmoil by 2015, which will bring about a revolution that will put an end to what he called injustice and stealing by the party.
The former Head of State who stressed that the PDP was not interested in social justice and transparency however reinterated his earlier call on Nigerians and his supporters to protect their votes during elections and avoid being manipulated by opponents.
According to him, "the PDP and its leadership don't accept social justice. If there is no social justice, in a question of time there will be revolution in one form or the other. After the last general election, we went as far as to the Supreme Court.
"But after that, what happened in Kogi State, Adamawa and Sokoto states and the bye-elections made us believe that PDP leadership is not prepared for real democracy and social justice. And I hope they will be strong enough to go through the consequences of their injustice.
"I want to speak of what happened in Igabi local government area of Kaduna State. Members of CPC in Kaduna State, the elected members of PDP from the Senate, House of Representatives and the state Assembly, went to educate people in Igabi and made sure that there was free and fair election and the CPC won.
"What I am advocating is for the local government election and 2015 general elections to be free and fair. Every local government and constituency must behave like Igabi. If you don't want to win, but to remain as slaves in your own country, then you can go home and sleep. Otherwise, if you must fight for your right, you must wake and ensure that justice is done.
"You must make sure that your votes count. To prove to you that there is not going to be justice under PDP and its leaders, look at what happened in the hearing on petroleum resources in the national Assembly, pension fund, people were dying in twos while others are syndicates of thieves, with people stealing and keeping money in their houses up to the tune of 2billion naira. By 2015, whoever stole public funds has automatically sentenced himself to death.
"We know that we have been rigged out in last election; nothing can happen unless there is justice, what I said before, I still stand by it Akaa'sa, a tsare, a raka, a hana, a taba meaning display the election materials, protect, escort, prevent.
"From now, if you want justice politically, you must all emulate Igabi. Otherwise, the situation we are in will continue to deteriorate. May God give you patient in the hardship that you have been subjected to, the money that is expected to educate your children, build roads, hospitals and provide the required security is been stolen abroad. Nigerians must rise against this attitude; it is your right."
He lamented the looting of pension funds, saying that such magnitude of financial fraud cannot take place under a government that believes in justice and transparency.

Pilgrimage to Mother India
Northern India Sacred Sites
With Mudita Sabato
Northern India Sacred Sites
With Mudita Sabato
An Affordable Retreat Experience
The intention of this retreat pilgrimage is for you to be deeply happy while experiencing
Mother India in all her glory.
Daily practices and meditations will be offered from the Sufi and Buddhist traditions.
Mudita will lead morning and evening practice and meditations.
The pilgrimage is designed for those who choose a deep experience without paying high tour prices. Depending on your time frame, you can choose from a two or three week journey.
Mudita will be staying for three weeks. Mudita has traveled to India many times (at least 9 times) along with living in Northern India for a year.
We will stay in nice, clean, quiet hotel in New Delhi with western accommodations. Then a day trip to Arga, to the Taj Mahal. Next we will begin to head north toward the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains to Rishikesh, to experience the Sacred Ganges River. Rishikesh is hill station in the foothills of the Himalayan Mountains, a special pilgrimage area for all Hindu's. Then off to Dehradun, then up to Dharamsala, where we will stay for most of the retreat trip, to allow you to dive deep into a daily rhythm. While we are in Himalayan mountains in Dharamsala, we will stay in a modest Tibetan "Guest House" (hotel/motel) accommodation, just a few foot steps away from His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama's Temple and his monastery, Namgyal Monastery. Each room has its own private bath. My hope is to keep the tour group to about 8 people, with each person booking their own airline ticket. If you would like to travel on the same flight with Mudita to India, she will give to you all her airline details, so you can book the same flight.
Looking at expenses for this affordable, relaxed, journey…
14 day Retreat Pilgrimage- Estimate is about $100 a day!
Less if you room with someone on the tour.
Land Travel expenses in India $250
Food $250
Lodging (Delhi- if shared room) $500
Guide Fee $300
Total $1300
Deposit of $300 due by November 1, 2015. Refunds up till February 1, 2016, if your
place can be filled, otherwise only $50 will be refunded. Mudita will be making all our travel arrangements within India. You will reserve your lodging with your own credit card. Mudita will provide you with a step by step retreat pilgrimage timeline, with all the information you will need,
to be able to make all your own outside of India travel arrangements.

For information on the Archetype Translation work:
Mudita Sabato was raised Catholic and in her early 20's she studied with a Lakota Sioux Medicine women, later she found herself on the path of Hinduism. She has studied the daily prayers of Islam, and in her early 30's lived in the Himalayan Mountains, to study Tibetan Buddhism, with her teacher, Lama Tenzen Choden. Her path has helped to developed her inwardly in mystical understanding. In the 1980's she became a Sufi Initiate. Her Sufi teacher is Murshid Wali Ali Meyer, the Director of the Sufi Ruhaniat International Esoteric School. Some would call her a Whirling Dervish. Today, she is a Sufi Guide/Teacher and group facilitator of sacred dance, walks, music, voice, movement and "Whirling as Meditation."

Sands has now been taken over by Nassau Tanit Beach.
Sat on the sandy shores of Playa d'en Bossa and overlooking the beautiful Mediterranean sea, Sands Beach Bar is the ideal place to chill out, mingle or party in Ibiza style. With a menu full of flavour and diversity this classy beach abode serves a range of internationally inspired, but locally sourced meals from world class chef Tim Payne.
Though friendly and accessible to all, Sands Beach Bar isn't a stranger to a famous face, especially since Carl Cox himself became part-owner in 2011. Aside from being a restaurant which welcomes anyone from VIP's to young families, the bar also hosts legendary beach parties and after-parties, with Coxy hosting a special party at the venue once or twice a season where he plays a total history of his musical influences. Other DJs and promoters will throw one-off parties at Sands throughout the summer season, whilst tINI and the Gang held their free beach party weekly at Sands in 2014.
Alongside Carl Cox, Jason Bull of Es Vive Hotel and Safehouse Management are the driving forces behind the popular bar and although all at Sands love to party they also pride themselves on their service, food and the overall experience for their clientele, having really focused on developing their menu in the last few years.
In 2014 Sands moved to a new location only a few bars down the beach from its old one, taking over the venue formerly known as Sirocco. Aside from amazing food the venue also prides itself on 'beach vibes and sun' and its open plan layout enhances its summery atmosphere.
Check out our location and food review here.

Eating out
Better choice in town
At the base, Lizard Creek Lodge offers 'generous portions – lamb shank particularly good'. The Corner Pocket is an airy modern place at the Griz Inn, simply furnished, with quite a wide-ranging menu, good service and generally excellent food. Yamagoya in the Alpine Lodge does Japanese ('good to eat some lighter food for a change', 'wonderful ice cream'); there's another branch in town. Kelsey's (part of a chain) serves standard and reliable steaks, burgers, pasta and pizza.
In the town of Fernie, there are quite a few options, though some places we have liked in the past have closed. On our last visit we enjoyed an excellent simple dinner at the jolly, busy Brick House (all BC wines though, which means pricey). We've also enjoyed various Asian cuisines at Curry Bowl – and the Indian food at Tandoor & Grill in the out-of-town Stanford hotel is a reader tip.

Mountain restaurants
One tiny sit-down hut
Lost Boys Cafe is a tiny self-service place in a fine position with great views at the top of Timber Bowl with a basic, limited menu. It gets busy even when the mountain isn't. Bear's Den at the top of the Elk chair is an open-air fast-food kiosk. Naturally, most people eat at the base area. The ancient no-frills Day Lodge at the Griz Lodge serves soups, burgers and daily specials. Look at 'Eating out' to see other options – we usually head for the Corner Pocket.
Have a beer
When the lifts close, head for the Griz Bar above the Day Lodge. During the week, the resort bars are pretty quiet later on. In town, the bars of the Royal hotel are popular with locals, as is the Park Place Lodge Pub (with pool, table-football and big-screen TVs).
Off the slopes
Get out and about
The Arts Station has two galleries, a theatre and craft studios, and there is a walking tour of historic Fernie – you buy a $5 self-guided booklet from the visitor information centre or retailers. Watching the local ice hockey team, the Ghostriders, is 'well worth doing – good fun'. There's a pool at the Aquatic Centre in town.

Something something, something something Time was, an Eagle team that was as bad as this one would have been booed out of the stadium. They weren't. Not even when they fell behind 14-3, with the defense giving up points in ways that redefined the term easy. Time was, an Eagle coach that called a fourth and inches play with a slow-developing run to the running back, rather than a simple sneak with your tall, young and physical QB, would hear the deafening hatred of people who, frankly, looked and sounded like they were dangerously unhinged and bereft of other things in their life. Tonight, no so much. At all. Honestly, I've heard nastier crowds, and more intense ones, at high school games. Time was, a back-breaking fumble from a promising rookie RB in the midst of his breakout professional game would make me feel a little bad for him. Tonight, I pretty much expected each mistake, given how fundamentally unsound he was with the ball. Finally, I don't really ever remember rooting...

Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.
About Sarah: Writing your own dating profile is weird...which is why Sarah outsourced the task to me, her friend of 10 years. After I heard her crack a couple sarcastic jokes at our University of Maryland orientation, I thought to myself, "I must make this person my friend, she's hilarious." So here's what you need to know about Sarah…she's intensely loyal, to family, to friends, to her teams and her job. This loyalty makes her someone you can count on. She's fun, she will build a blanket fort with you if the whim strikes. She's a hard worker who will never throw in the towel till the job's done. She's a sports lover, but most especially a Steelers and Penguins fan and she can talk sports with the best of 'em. She's a traveler who wants to see the world but she loves home most of all. She's got good taste… in music, restaurants and personal style. She's the kind of Irish girl you'll want to take home to mom. Who she's looking for: Someone who can hang in and have fun. A sports lover is a must. A guy with an appreciation of music and a good sense of humor. Someone who enjoys travel, especially to a great beach or a foreign city but also likes discovering new spots on his own block. A passion for what he does or what he wants to do, a love of family and a desire to have his own one day.

40 year old man | Irvine, CA, USA | Seeking women 20-38 within 50 miles
looking for something different and special some type of companionship...
My friends would refer to me as an audiophile, one who lives for audio / sound / music. I love making music, designing Sound, FX's, background ambience's, creating therapeutic music, creating audio and sound that account for emotions in feature films, documentaries, trailers, T.V., animations, short films, film festival work, web based media and promos, and other mediums. music is one of my greatest passions. I am also a talented cook, specially with Italian food and I have the capability of finding my way into a womans heart through her belly! I Don't know what my ideal match is... but when I find her, I'll just know... a lot makes me laugh and smile when I am with the right person because I am grateful for just about everything life has to offer. I am very trustworthy, honest, caring, loving, extremely empathetic towards many causes that strike emotion in me. I love life and living in the moment not knowing all the plans ahead of time so I may be surprised down the road...Naturally I'm a slightly introverted person but coming from a large Italian Family of 9 and being the youngest, well lets say it has brought out a nice extroverted side in me that allows me to be socially comfortable in just about any situation or setting.I most certainly know how to stand up for what I believe in and protect those that are with me with out engaging in conflict. I am a true gentlemen that way with great diplomatic skills. I'm looking for a real relationship and or companionship! where I can enjoy even more that life has to offer by being with someone whom I truly care for and respect, after all sharing and giving is what completes us as people in my humbled opinion. I try to let nature take its course and let things be relaxed in a stress free environment and atmosphere... I am new to this experience my reason for joining match.com is due to the fact that I work long hours sometimes and therefor do not get out as much as I would like to, although I try to get out here and there I don't foresee my self meeting my future Mate across the street at the local pub. So I guess you could say that joining might help me meet someone and maybe someone special! I'm looking for an honest, Trustworthy, compassionate, caring, loving, romantic like myself that is not perfect or impervious to life's disappointments, but that would make me want to be a better person in life! Someone who has goals and dreams of their own that they are passionate about. One who can be comfortable in there own skin in most social situations yet reserved enough to retain there own identity and individuality and not change or stray from that. we are who we are but as a team we can grow to be better then ourselves as individuals.

We need your help to continue an extraordinary campaign that uses a 15-second television commercial to show the UNCENSORED TRUTH about drone murder to hundreds of thousands, or more, U.S. television viewers!
On February 27, this first-ever TV commercial began a week-long run on various cable channels in Las Vegas, NV, including CNN and MSNBC, showing viewers living near the Creech AFB drone control center what they probably have never seen before – children killed and mutilated by U.S. drones. It's graphic but necessary.
On Mar 31, the same commercial began a month's run on CNN, MSNBC and even FoxNews in and around Beale AFB outside Sacramento, CA, a base critical to supporting U.S. killer drone operations.
We consider these showings to be a remarkable achievement because until now the images of those killed and injured by U.S. drones have been kept off of American television screens.
In addition to showing drone victims, the voice-over on the ad says: "Drone pilots, please refuse to fly."
There is growing news coverage about the commercials. Here is a link to an article in the Sacramento Bee, the major paper in northern California and part of the McClatchy Company news chain: http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article17894003.html
This resulted in this article in Air Force Times, which will be read by many Air Force people and their families around the world:
Vice News followed with this report: https://news.vice.com/article/graphic-new-veteran-sponsored-ads-are-asking-drone-pilots-not-to-fly
Here is a link to an RT report also resulting from the showing of the ad near Beale: http://youtu.be/GTdlqqdrZ1U
And this is a report on KFBK, a radio station with a wide reach in northern California: http://www.kfbk.com/articles/kfbk-news-461777/new-tv-ads-take-aim-at-13461862/
The Guardian published this piece:
All video clips and footage in the advertisements come from the independent short documentary film, Wounds of Waziristan (www.woundsofwaziristan.com), directed by filmmaker and journalist, Madiha Tahir and co-produced by Messiah Rhodes and AJ Russo. The half-hour film features two survivors of drone attacks. One of them, Saddam, can be seen in the ad holding the photo of his dead niece. The documentary was released on Vice Motherboard as well as Democracy Now! marking the first time that Americans saw an extended portrayal of the consequences of drone attacks.
Here are links to additional coverage of this campaign. Please note particularly David Swanson's report for War Is A Crime.org that was critical in generating other coverage and which includes a list quotes addressing the illegality and immorality of drone war as well as a drone war fact sheet.
We are now entering the second phase of this advertising campaign, and we are asking you to please contribute toward a total of $8,000 that will be needed, minimally, to run the TV ad in areas surrounding drone control centers at Hancock Air National Guard Base outside Syracuse, NY; Niagara Falls Air National Guard Base; Whiteman AFB near Knob Noster, MO; and Cannon AFB near Clovis, NM.
The campaign is being coordinated with local cable companies and networks by Information in the Public Interest, an activist social justice ad agency that produces issue-advertising for only progressive peace, environmental and social justice causes, operated by Cres Vellucci, a member of Veterans for Peace and other anti-war groups. Contributions are not tax deductible because the agency does political work. All the money collected goes directly to buying airtime for the commercials. $25 may buy a spot on CNN, $50 a spot on MSNBC (depending on the rates in local areas).
Please contribute whatever you can, and circulate this appeal far and wide.
Thank you for considering this request.
In solidarity,
