You guys rock.
I only just heard about Tivi today, to see this thread and all you all did and sent for him The photo's with his gifts and him looking happier are just wonderful.
Its just so good to see people who really care about pitbulls & mixes, when so many people are against them.
This thread totally choked me up, as did the video I saw of him first on facebook. I can't get my head around why anyone would ever or could ever set fire to any dog or animal.
Wishing Tivi the best life possible with his new dad.

Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder. It happens when your body can't make enough insulin, or can't use it properly. If you cannot make enough insulin or use the insulin made, your body cannot move blood sugar into the cells. Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease that has no known cure. It is the most common type of diabetes. It is also called adult onset diabetes.
In prediabetes, blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be defined as diabetes. But many people with prediabetes develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years. Prediabetes also greatly increases the risk for heart disease and stroke. With modest weight loss and moderate physical activity, people with prediabetes can delay or prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes.
The exact cause of type 2 diabetes is unknown. But some genetic factors that run in families contribute to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Although you can inherit a tendency to develop type 2 diabetes, it usually takes other factors, such as obesity or physical inactivity, to bring on the disease.
The following are the most common symptoms of type 2 diabetes. But each person may have slightly different symptoms. Symptoms may include:
Frequent bladder and skin infections that don't heal easily
High blood sugar when tested
High sugar in the urine when tested
Unusual thirst
Frequent urination
Weight loss despite an increase in appetite
Blurred vision
Nausea and vomiting
Extreme weakness and fatigue
Irritability and mood changes
Dry, itchy skin
Tingling or loss of feeling in the hands or feet
Sexual dysfunction
Some people who have type 2 diabetes may have no symptoms. Symptoms may be mild and almost unnoticeable, or easily confused with normal signs of aging. Half of all Americans who have diabetes do not know it.
The symptoms of type 2 diabetes may look like other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your doctor for a diagnosis.
Risk factors for type 2 diabetes include the following:
Age. People age 45 or older are at higher risk for diabetes.
Family history of diabetes
Being overweight
Not exercising regularly
Race and ethnicity. Being a member of certain racial and ethnic groups increases the risk for type 2 diabetes. African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, and American Indians are more prone to develop type 2 diabetes than white Americans.
History of gestational diabetes, or giving birth to a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds
A low blood level HDL (high-density lipoprotein--the "good cholesterol")
A high blood triglyceride level
Specific treatment for type 2 diabetes will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
The goal of treatment is to keep blood sugar levels as close to normal as possible.
Emphasis is on control of blood sugar (glucose) by monitoring the levels, regular physical activity, meal planning, and routine health care. Treatment of diabetes is an ongoing process of management and education that includes not only the person with diabetes, but also health care professionals and family members.
Often, type 2 diabetes can be controlled through losing weight, improved nutrition, and exercise alone. However, in some cases, these measures are not enough and either oral or injected medications and/or insulin must be used. Treatment often includes:
Proper diet
Weight control
An appropriate exercise program
Regular foot inspections
Oral medications, other medications, and/or insulin replacement therapy, as directed by your doctor. There are various types of medications that may be used to treat type 2 diabetes when lifestyle changes such as diet, exercise, and weight loss are not enough. Oral medications of several different types are available, with each type working in a different manner to lower blood sugar. One medication may be combined with another one to improve blood sugar control. When oral medications are no longer effective, insulin or other non-insulin injected medications may be prescribed.
New medications for treating diabetes are in development.
Regular monitoring of the hemoglobin A1c levels. The hemoglobin A1c test (also called HbA1c or A1C test) shows the average amount of sugar in the blood over the last three months. The result will indicate if the blood sugar level is under control. The frequency of HbA1c testing will be determined by your doctor. It is recommended that testing occur at least twice a year if the blood sugar level is in the target range and stable, and more frequently if the blood sugar level is unstable.
Untreated or poorly-treated diabetes can cause problems with the kidneys, legs, feet, eyes, heart, nerves, and blood flow, which could lead to kidney failure, gangrene, amputation, blindness, or stroke. For these reasons, it is important to follow a strict treatment plan.
Advances in diabetes research have led to improved methods of managing diabetes and treating its complications. However, scientists continue to explore the causes of diabetes and ways to prevent and treat the disorder. Other methods of giving insulin through inhalers and pills are currently being studied. Scientists are investigating genetic factors involved in type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and some genetic markers for both types have been identified. Bariatric surgery has been used effectively to help spur weight loss and treat type 2 diabetes.

11 U.S. Code § 302 - Joint cases
(a) A joint case under a chapter of this title is commenced by the filing with the bankruptcy court of a single petition under such chapter by an individual that may be a debtor under such chapter and such individual's spouse. The commencement of a joint case under a chapter of this title constitutes an order for relief under such chapter.
Source(Pub. L. 95–598, Nov. 6, 1978, 92 Stat. 2558.)
Historical and Revision Notes
senate report no. 95–989
A joint case is a voluntary bankruptcy case concerning a wife and husband. Under current law, there is no explicit provision for joint cases. Very often, however, in the consumer debtor context, a husband and wife are jointly liable on their debts, and jointly hold most of their property. A joint case will facilitate consolidation of their estates, to the benefit of both the debtors and their creditors, because the cost of administration will be reduced, and there will be only one filing fee.
Section 302 specifies that a joint case is commenced by the filing of a petition under an appropriate chapter by an individual and that individual's spouse. Thus, one spouse cannot take the other into bankruptcy without the other's knowledge or consent. The filing of the petition constitutes an order for relief under the chapter selected.
Subsection (b) requires the court to determine the extent, if any, to which the estates of the two debtors will be consolidated; that is, assets and liabilities combined in a single pool to pay creditors. Factors that will be relevant in the court's determination include the extent of jointly held property and the amount of jointly-owned debts. The section, of course, is not license to consolidate in order to avoid other provisions of the title to the detriment of either the debtors or their creditors. It is designed mainly for ease of administration.

Troy Olson caught this Mac at Flaming Gorge
Troy Olson caught this Mac at Flaming Gorge. It took about 45 minutes to land it but it was so exciting to see that it seemed to take 5 minutes. He was jigging and caught it about 8:30 a.m. on June 11th. It actualy spit up about 5 lbs of fish during the whole process, but was no worse for the wear when he put it back in the water as soon as possible to hopfully give somone else the same thrill another day. Troy says he's never "gonna be ruined for fishing but he'll always long for the feel of this monster." He said it was like hooking a 52 Buick while goin down the road. His arms were so tired it was like he'd just finished lifting weights.

Last Sunday night during Game 3 of the San Jose Sharks/Colorado Avalanche NHL Western Conference playoff series, the Sharks took three times as many shots as the Avalanche, kept the puck on Colorado's end, and generally owned the game. Nonetheless, the score remained at 0-0 almost a minute into overtime. And then the worst possible dose of bad luck (or insane miscalculation?) befell San Jose's Dan Boyle: he inadvertently scored the winning goal for the Colorado Avalanche. According to CBSSports.com columnist Ray Ratto, the deflection of Boyle's clearing pass to defenseman Douglas Murray, "to the amazement of all living things… whipped into a tiny hole between the right post and San Jose goalie Evgeni Nabokov."
Thing is, Dan Boyle is in pretty good company. Time after time, we witness acts of "choking under pressure" – especially in sports, but also in other anxiety-eliciting domains of life such as during testing situations, presenting to a group of colleagues or superiors, or performing a musical instrument. Choking, otherwise known as failing in the clutch or performing at suboptimal levels under pressure conditions, happens to the best of us and social psychologist Roy Baumeister has determined the conditions under which the phenomenon is most likely to occur.
Baumeister labels four pressure variables – audience pressure, competition, performance-contingent rewards and punishments, and ego-relevance of the task – as determinants of choking; needless to say, all of these variables were present in full-force at Dan Boyle's mishap on Sunday. Further, Baumeister notes that choking may result from a self-focused attention that interferes with the execution of automatic, routinized processes (such as, oh I don't know, moving around a puck during a professional hockey game in which you are a professional hockey player). In particular, Baumeister suggests that pressure makes the person want to do well, so the performer focuses conscious attention on the process of performance. However, since skills are responses that are overlearned and automatic, attending to them consciously interferes with or inhibits them; conscious attention to an automatic behavior paradoxically causes misalignment between brain and behavior and, frequently, ultimate failure at the task. Other theories suggest that having to perform under pressure causes a self-awareness that precludes awareness of the environment in which one is surrounded, thereby causing the performer to fail to process task-relevant information.
Whatever the case may be, no matter how we social psychologists attempt to rationalize and intellectualize the antecedents of choking, we're sure that none of this is making Dan Boyle feel any better. Good thing he has an old Stanley Cup lying around somewhere to make up for it.

MLB agents and officials think Wright will take this offer
"David Wright will take this offer," ESPN.com's Buster Olney said today, after speaking with a number of agents and officials who aren't involved in these talks.
"There's no guarantee that he'll get that a year from now," one agent told Olney.
Olney thinks Wright should look to Juan Gonzalez's experience in the mid 90s. Back then, Gonzalez turned down a $151.5 million contract from the Tigers when he was the same age as Wright, 29. Gonzalez never got another offer close to that after an injury-plagued season.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
I wrote this earlier, but it seems more relavent in this post, following Buster's comments: "How on earth does Wright pass up $140 million. I don't know how you leave that much money on the table. It's crazy, to me. Sure, he wants to play for a winner. I get it. But, everyone says that, and even still, the odds are low that a MLB player will ever get a ring. There is no guarantee, I don't care where you go, not even the Bronx. In exchange for chasing a championship, he could miss the chance to make a boat-load of money here. I mean, what if Wright passes on this seven-year extension, then injures himself in a way next year (or slumps so bad) that he gets offered significantly less one year from now? He'd never live down passing on $140 million. I just don't know how he can't take it, right now, even if he has doubts about the future of this franchise."

Peaches & Cream French Toast
Presented by: Paula Nemzek
Very rich, this is definitely a keeper for brunch or dinner
serves 8
- 1 loaf challah or similar bread, unsliced
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup half-and-half
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed
- 3 pounds peaches, fresh or frozen and thawed
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 8 ounces (1 cup) mascarpone cheese
- 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar, or to taste
- 1 lemon, zested
Peel, pit and slice peaches. Transfer to a large saucepan, including any juice. Stir in sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon; cook over medium heat until mixture is bubbling. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid reaches a syrupy consistency, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat. You may make this part ahead of time.
Stir together mascarpone, sugar and lemon zest until mixture is smooth.
Slice bread into 11/4-inch slices. With a sharp knife, cut a pocket in the center of each slice of bread, leaving 3 sides intact.
Spoon mascarpone filling into each pocket, being careful not to let filling overflow. You may scoop the mascarpone into a plastic bag, cut off a corner of the bag, and pipe it into the pocket. As an alternative, you can start with 2 thinner slices of bread, and just spread the filling in the center, making a sandwich.
In a pie plate or shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk and vanilla. Heat vegetable oil if needed in a large nonstick skillet on medium, about 250 degrees. Dip both sides of stuffed bread into the egg mixture, add to skillet and cook until browned on both sides. Serve with warm peach topping.

|Weekend update on Linville Gorge Fire
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Saturday, 05 May 2007 20:11
Major progress has been made with a fire near Linville Gorge due to the assistance of the recent rains and cooler weather.The fire, which began on April 25, is thought to have started near the Pinnacle Trail, possibly from a campfire. The Conley Cove Trail, one mile south of Wiseman's View, has been prepared as a potential northern boundary in case the fire spreads. Currently, the fire remains just north of Dogback Mountain and is being held by Old Highway 105 at its western flank. The Linville River serves as its eastern boundary. Rehabilitation efforts inside and outside of the Linville Gorge Wilderness are currently in progress and erosion control treatments on the Pinch In Trail, where the fire line was initially, is almost complete. 304 hand crews are currently battling the blaze that has now reached 2,357 acres. 8 fire engines, 4 bull dozers and 2 helicopters have assisted firefighters. The estimated containment has gone from 30 percent to 80 percent.
CLOSURES: The Linville Gorge Wilderness and the Table Rock Area have been closed by order of the Pisgah National Forest. That portion of the Mountain to Sea Trail from the Kistler Memorial Highway (Old Hwy. 105) to the intersection with National Forest System Road 210 is also closed for public health and safety. Kistler Memorial Highway and the Spence Ridge Bridge are also closed.
The cause of the fire is under investigation. Anyone with information about the cause of the fire is urged to contact Special Agent Jenny Davis at (828) 231-0288.

Cat Cognition Capers: Knocking Stuff Over Edition
Today I tried looking up studies and/or scholarly articles on the phenomenon of Cats Knocking Things Over, but didn't come up with any interesting results. The majority of writing on this subject seems to be in the context of advice on "cat behavior problems", e.g., Dealing With Cats That Knock Things Down, How can I get my cat to stop knocking stuff over?, etc.
(Of course, if anyone has any links to papers on this subject please feel free to share!)
But anyway. It occurred to me, upon seeing Shadow (one of three ex-feral littermates sharing my home) push a container of cat treats off my desk for the nth time earlier today, that (if it was indeed being done deliberately) such an action might represent a fairly well-developed understanding of certain physical principles. I.e., the fact that if one cannot readily access the contents of a treat-containing object, one might be able to gain access via utilizing the tendency of objects to fall over when pushed or similarly manipulated.
(Full disclosure: as a person on the autistic spectrum who is also interested in neuroscience and relevant cognitive research, I must admit it tends to catch my attention whenever I encounter what to me looks like an interesting ability or trait, in any species, being largely written off as a "behavior problem". Often it seems to me something is being missed when this occurs, so I'm driven to investigate in situations like this!)
Certainly the standard "I am not a professional researcher, this was all done completely informally, my home is not a laboratory, etc." disclaimer must be applied to these results. Moreover, I am well aware that interpretation is not data (and vice versa), and in truth the only thing that can be said for sure is that at least one of my cats pretty consistently knocks over objects when is is conceivable that he has reason to believe these objects could contain treats.
The following three videos appear in chronological order. All were filmed on 5 September 2010, in the afternoon, within the space of maybe twenty minutes.
In this first video ("Cats and Gravity I"), Shadow is shown pushing a sealed container of treats off my desk.
He had precedent for doing this, as this particular container is the usual one I put the kitties' daily allotment of treats in. Once, about a week ago, I left the lid part-way off, to see what he would do (seeing as he'd definitely be able to smell the treats within). And in that case he proceeded to nudge the container around with his nose until it fell off the table, scattering treats hither and thither, much to his and his siblings' delight.
Now, I am fairly certain that this first knockdown was an accident. However, since then, Shadow has pushed the treat container off multiple other surfaces (besides the coffee table), on multiple separate occasions. "Cats and Gravity I", then, seems like it could very well represent Shadow's having learned that "if I push this container, sometimes treats fall out!" I don't know that anyone in the cognitive research field actually believes this level of reasoning is beyond the domestic feline (I suspect not) but in any event, it makes for a good "baseline" data point in terms of the variables I am interested in observing.
In this next video ("Cats and Gravity II"), we have an interesting situation involving three cats. You may remember Coraline and Brodie from all those string and zip-tie trials I ran as a rough check of what experimental design conditions might be improved so that cats could better demonstrate their actual cognitive capacities in string-pulling tasks. In the case of that set of puzzles, Cora and Brodie were the only participating felines; Shadow preferred to simply watch.
However, in "Cats and Gravity II", you will observe that Brodie "experiments" with the treat-containing bottle but doesn't succeed in getting anything out of it, whereas Shadow makes one single decisive swipe and sends the thing crashing down. Note that this bottle is different from the treat container in the first video, but it is one that I've put treats in several times prior to this, so the cats would definitely be familiar with it.
(Coraline, meanwhile, is ignoring the whole business and seems more excited about the fact that I've gotten up from my computer chair, giving her an opening to steal it. To me this mainly suggests that at different points in time, different cats may have very different priorities!)
And then we come to "Cats and Gravity III". The outcome of this scenario completely caught me off guard (you may even be able to hear me exclaim "HOLY CRAP!" at one point). In this case I took a treat container that would be new to all the cats (another empty vitamin bottle, this time a dark purple one slightly larger than the white one used in "Cats and Gravity II"). I let them watch me putting treats into it, and then placed this bottle on top of a small end table in the living room (a different surface in a different part of the house than my desk, to control for position habit).
In this case, the video shows that initially none of the cats really showed interest in the new treat bottle when I first placed it on the end table. However, after I went over and shook it a bit, Shadow went over to the table, put his front paws on the top surface, and then proceeded to lift the bottle up with his mouth and throw it down onto the floor. (That's where I exclaimed "HOLY CRAP!", by the way.)
So...what to make of this?
Subjectively speaking (yes, I'm about to offer an interpretation), it looked to me like Shadow spontaneously came up with a really creative way of getting the treats he knew were inside the purple bottle. Which would suggest that he's learned to generalize beyond "if I paw at this maybe it will fall and treats will come out" and now understands that it is not the mechanical motion of pawing or nosing that's important, but rather, the falling of the bottle itself, if one's goal is to get the treats out of the bottle. This, to me, seems pretty significant, and again I'm curious to know if there's any literature out there saying one thing or another about this type of cognition in felines.
However, this was of course a tiny sample set. And I did not do this series of "mini-trials" in response to another study I'd be able to cite and/or comment on -- like I said at the beginning, I couldn't find any studies about cats knocking stuff over. No peer-reviewed references = not "ResearchBlogging". Plus, for all I know, cats' understanding of gravitational cause-and-effect is already well documented and known and I just fail at searching for this documentation.
That said, at the very least, I think anyone who really wants to study cats' understanding of cause-and-effect as it pertains to objects in a broader sense would do well to try out a variety of different scenarios involving different types of objects, and requiring different types of attentiveness and planning on the cats' part.
I find it terribly problematic (and this goes back to my discussion of the string experiments again) when a single particular test is taken (whether by the study authors, the media, or both) as meaning something globally significant about a given population's abilities or lack thereof. In the absence of a single task (or task type) with huge amounts of existing data backing up its ability to test "general" cognitive ability in a given domain, multiple tasks of varying attributes would seem to me required for appropriate levels of rigor.
Also, I have to say that another reason I wanted to post these videos is because now more than ever I am beginning to think it is very important to have as much of an experiment on record (for multiple parties to view and evaluate) as possible. Even though I (hopefully) disclaimered the heck out of my string experiments, I still would rather do things as close to "right" as possible for a layperson -- just because I'm not a real researcher doesn't mean I can't practice holding my informal stuff to higher standards.
Finally, I would just like to say that I would be extremely interested to get people's comments on what it looks like is actually happening in the videos above. As in, if you think Shadow is doing what he's doing deliberately, what aspects of his actions lead you to think that? I'm curious about this because I see my cats doing all sorts of things all the time, some of which (to me) look "deliberate", whereas other things they do look thoroughly "accidental". Only I haven't come up with a good way to describe what "deliberateness" looks like in quantitative terms.
I suspect that in general this sort of issue comes up a lot in animal cognition research, which has me curious as to whether there even exists any kind of objective way to measure something so "internal". Behaviorism (in my opinion) fails miserably to account for everything that could potentially be important (for one thing it often seems to completely fail to account for, say, different sensory and perceptual modalities on the part of the researcher vs. subject), and much of what I hear from "evolutionary psychology" sounds like it's been pulled straight from someone's nether orifice, to put it politely. So I'd be really intrigued to know what other tools or paradigms may currently be out there that might be more promising.

Very interesting. I once posted the question on my blog, Why do cats love to knock little objects off of big objects? There were a lot of speculations, but the one that makes the most sense to me is that this represents knocking bird eggs out of nests to break on the ground so the inside can be eaten.
- Anne Corwin said...
CPP: Hmm, I'd be curious to read the speculations in response to your post, if it still exists. I'll see if I can find it. The "knocking eggs out of nests" thing makes sense, but personally my "theory" is that cats have evolved with a kind of generalized predilection for experimenting with physical objects.
One of my favorite examples of this sort of thing can be seen in this video of a cat repeatedly flushing a toilet. I'm interpreting again here but it looks to me like the cat has figured out a really interesting cause-and-effect relationship and is repeating the flushing because it's just so danged fascinating to see the water swirl around. And it's also important to remember that cats are opportunistic predators, meaning it makes heaps of sense for them to experiment with parts of their environment from multiple angles.
- Comrade PhysioProf said...
Yeah, I like your theory that this is probably a more general predilection to fucke with shitte and see what happens. Here is the post:

I'm not a cat person, but I have had the pleasure of sharing my life with birds (6 budgerigars and 2 zebra finches) over the past 20 years. It saddens me that so many of the behavioral traits that I treasure in my avian companions get labeled "problem behaviors" simply because they are inconvenient for many modern humans. For example, budgies love flinging objects off of tables, shelves, etc. In some cases this seems to be for the pure joy of manipulating large objects with their beaks. Sometimes it appears to be curiosity/foraging behavior. Other times it's an invitation to play Parrot Fetch (bird flings object, human retrieves, repeat until one or both parties get bored).
- Anne Corwin said...
Fledchen: Oh, interesting! I've never lived with birds in the house but I've definitely seen some very intriguing avian antics going on in the yard, etc. I didn't know about budgerigars throwing things off shelves but that is kind of awesome. :D
You wrote: It saddens me that so many of the behavioral traits that I treasure in my avian companions get labeled "problem behaviors" simply because they are inconvenient for many modern humans.
Oh yeah, that is a big peeve of mine as well (whether we're talking about birds or cats or even atypical humans). Some people seem to be saying on the one hand that a given animal "doesn't really do anything interesting" but on the other hand, all kinds of things the animal IS doing are written off as merely "problems".
And while yeah, sometimes certain actions are problematic enough for the human to merit some kind of solution, I think that whenever any of us chooses to share a home with a member of another species, we need to make room for them to BE a member of that species. Which might mean (in the case of budgies) avoiding putting breakable throwable objects within reach of the birds, and in the case of cats, not storing fine china on shelves they can physically access. And so on.
- Rachel Cohen-Rottenberg said...
I was very interested in the fact that in the second video, Budgie moved the container from the edge of desk and back, but never actually pushed it over the edge. Then Shadow came over and made gravity work. As I was watching, I kept feeling that some kind of communication was going on between Budgie and Shadow, as though Budgie were kind of toying with the idea of pushing the container off the desk, and Shadow got impatient and finished the job. I wondered whether Budgie had somewhere gotten the message that humans don't like things getting knocked off desks, and decided not to push the limits, while Shadow either never got the message or just doesn't care, and decided to just go for the treats. Sometimes human siblings pick off this kind of social/psychic territory: I was the cooperative child, while my younger brother was the boundary pusher. I wonder whether the same kind of thing happens to domesticated animals.
In the third video, I also got the feeling that the cats were looking at you and wondering "What does she want from us now?" I don't know how you'd prove whether the cats knew they were subjects of an experiment, or how to account for the impact of that consciousness on their actions, but it's an interesting question to me.
- Anne Corwin said...
Rachel Cohen-Rottenberg: I presume you meant Brodie when you wrote Budgie? (I don't have any cats named Budgie, but I can see how you might have been thrown off by the comments Fledchen and I made prior to yours, in which we referred to budgies in the avian sense).
That aside, you've made some intriguing observations. Generally speaking, Brodie is a lot more cautious and detail-oriented than Shadow is. Shadow prefers to wield his will like a blunt instrument. :P You seem to have picked up on that just from these videos, which is very cool.
I doubt Brodie was worried about getting in trouble, though, as I don't yell at the cats or scold them when they knock things down (my home is pretty well cat-proofed, so there's not much for them to knock over that would actually lead to problems if they did). More likely he was just "experimenting", in the sense of testing out how close he could push the bottle to the edge of the desk without it falling. Or something along those lines.
As for the third video...I suppose it's possible that the cats were wondering what I wanted them to do, but I would guess it more probable that they were wondering if I was going to do something interesting or entertaining on their behalf. (I often do things like set up boxes or arrangements of toys for them to figure out and play with, and they usually stare at me when I'm doing that!)
- Rachel Cohen-Rottenberg said...
Oh, yes, I did mean Brodie. Sorry!
I think you're probably right about Brodie experimenting, trying out different things. Our cat Dakota figured out how to open her cage at the shelter and how to open the attic door in our house. She seems quite attuned to the details of how things work, and clearly (to me, anyway) understands cause and effect.
She's also extremely attuned to human expression and emotion, far more than any other cat I've ever met. She walks quite comfortably into any room except my loft, which she seems to understand is my "private space," and she'll stand at the doorway meowing until I invite her in. I've never shooed her out, so how she knows that my loft is different from other space in the house is intriguing to me. I'm not sure there's an experiment that would answer that. :-)

A couple of years ago I watched a crow with a discarded crisp (chip) packet. First he tried to stick his head in it but it wouldn't open; then he picked it up in his beak at the sealed end and shook it. He at once ate all the crumbs that fell out, then walked back and forth across its surface as it lay flat on the ground and picked it up (without hesitation by the sealed end) and shook it again, apparently to good effect as he pecked around on the ground some more before flying off.
Looks to me like their curiosity was initially sparked by the novel sound of rattling in the bottle, and you also. But then it was firmly reinforced with the smell of the food that was present in the room (and on the bottle) at the same time everything else was happening. A neat observation was made by 'justsomeguy' in a previous entry regarding the effect of the sense of smell on a mind (being that it is most memorable of all senses, or something like that, but anyway let's say it's so for the sake of discussion). And in being more memorable, it stands to reason that their attention was effectively captured by the smell, regardless of how their curiousity was aroused. At this point, all sorts of neat stuff was happening in their minds on all levels of consciousness. For instance, as they were processing what was with the bottle, they were also looking at you, yawning (as if they weren't), and communicating subtly amongst themselves. Here's a cool site with relevant trivia: http://largestfastestsmartest.com/animalswithbestsmell.html
oops, that was for the 2nd one
- Amanda said...
fledchen: My friend has a Quaker parrot (here is the photo of the parrot) who also has this fascination with dropping objects. She has a huge collection of balls that she will fling around and then drop them off the top of her cage. I wonder if it's a general parrot thing, or whether it's because she's lived with budgies for a long time (she speaks budgie-speak more than she speaks Quaker-speak a lot of the time, so we assume she's had at least one good budgie friend in the past, unfortunately we don't know her past because she was abused and neglected and then confiscated from someone's house and then smuggled out of the state by a rescue group so they wouldn't kill her, and so on, so there's a lot of missing links).
I just signed up to your blogs rss feed. Will you post more on this subject?

NEWPORT CITY - With the exception of a few sniffles, not a sound could be heard in Gardner Park Saturday morning as Betty Barrett told the heartbreaking story of how her son, Michael "Guido" Narducci, lost his life to suicide.
With her second husband behind her, holding her for support, she recalled the abuse her now ex-husband gave her and family "relentless." She explained how her ex-husband referred to Michael as a loser. After their divorce, Barrett's ex-husband even lied to their children about her, she said.
VERMONT – The Vermont Department of Health (DOH) says that Vermonters are at risk for serious illness from mosquito bites.
Two people in Vermont are infected with Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) and several independent sources say that one, an 86-year-old man, has died from the disease. Another hospitalized patient is thought to have West Nile Virus. Both diseases are contracted from mosquito bites.
This is the first time EEE was been found in humans in Vermont.
IRASBURG, VT - Scott Bowen, 34, of Irasburg, lost his life Friday in a two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Tree River Campground and VT RT 58 in Irasburg.
According to the Vermont State Police, Bowen was operating a Suzuki Motorcycle sometime before 6 AM, headed east towards Irasburg. At the same time, Randy Machia, 49, of Eden, was operating a 2011 Ford F350 truck and was exiting the campground.
ORLEANS–To say Tyrah Urie is off to a good start this season would be like saying that the sun is a relatively warm place to be.
Well, much like the sun, Urie is on fire.
After scoring twice in the season opener at Lyndon, she doubled her output on Saturday, banging home four more goals in a 4-1 win over Richford, bringing her season total to six, leaving her an average of a hat-trick per game in the young season.
"Sometimes when the skill isn't good and everyone's effort stay's up, you can win some soccer games," said coach Brad Urie.
ORLEANS–Folks in attendance at the Lake Region-People's Academy boy's soccer game on Friday came away with a sense of how well this year's Rangers can play, as they more than held their own against a traditionally very good Wolves team in a 2-0 loss.
"I think we played with a lot of heart, a lot of desire, and we created some chances," said coach Tom Evans.
In fact one could argue that for several stretches of play, Lake Region was the better team.
What was working for the Rangers early was their collapsing style of defense.
NEWPORT–Matt St.Amour's penalty kick goal with 10:50 left to play in the first half was all the scoring that the Missisquoi Valley Union Thunderbirds needed, as they played the role of spoiler in the North Country boys' soccer team's home opener, winning the contest 1-0.
Although this makes two losses in a row, coach James McKenny is philosophical in his take on the situation.
"We do have somewhat of a luxury, being that it is early in the season and we can try and make some moves within the line-up and how we look on the field."
North Country 30, U-32 40
EAST MONTPELIER–The North Country football team took a 30-28 lead into the fourth quarter, but would never score again as the running game of the Raiders was too much for the Falcons to handle, and they fell by the final score of 40-30.
"Things were going well, but we just could not stop their running attack," said coach Tim Simoneau as he team now stands at 0-2.
"The offense however was doing exactly what I wanted them to do."

MOUNT VERNON, Maine(NEWS CENTER) -- It took more than forty firefighters and crews from seven communities to knock down a fire that broke out at a Mt. Vernon home and business Sunday morning.
PHOTOS:Mt. Vernon fire
Mt. Vernon Deputy Fire Chief Tony Dunn said firefighters were called to a building located at 591 Bean Rd. around 3:30 a.m. for the report of a fire, and when they arrived on scene the building was fully engulfed in flames.
One person was home at the time, but they were able to escape the fire without injury.
Dunn said the building contained a first floor cabinet making business, and the second floor was the person's home.
Officials said the building was destroyed in the fire and it is considered a total loss.
There's no word yet on the cause, and the State Fire Marshal's office has been called in to investigate.
Mt. Vernon was assisted by Vienna, Readfield, Belgrade, Fayette, Manchester, and Wayne fire departments on scene.
Dunn said it took nearly 45 minutes to get the flames under control.

Hello programmers!
Welcome to my new website! I am an enthusiastic programmer and an avid supporter of computer programming, logical problem solving and relevant contests. In the year 2001, I developed a website to guide the ACM-ICPC (International Collegiate Programming Contest) contestants called the ACMSolver.org. It was developed as a reference point for the newbie programmers and has been referred as an ICPC blog in the Wikipedia: The ACM-ICPC.
A little background: I started my programming contest career in the late 90's. From the very beginning, I realised the need for an easy-to-read and consolidated guideline for participants of the ACM-ICPC like contests. As a consequence, I initiated this tutorial site. In the year 2006, I produced a programming contest study material titled the Art of Programming Contest, as cited in an article published by Dr. Dobbs Journal and also in the supporting materials of the Wikivarsity book Design and Analysis of Algorithms as well as in the ACM UVa Online judge), has become a popular download item from several computer programming contest related websites (Read more). I am planning to produce a revised version of the book The Art of Programming Contest 2. I worked as a programming contest problem setter for the University de Valladolid (UVa) Online Judge in one small contest in 2001 (see problem numbers: 10219, 10220, 10221, 10222). I also worked as an organiser (contest director) of one national computer programming contest in Bangladesh in 2007 (see DIPC07 contest).
After completing my PhD in Computer Science in 2013 from the University of Newcastle, Australia, I have worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher for 2.5 years. Meanwhile, I co-initiated the ACM-ICPC at this university and coached the UoN's programming contest team 'UoN Stu and Arts' (certificate) for participating in the ACM-ICPC South Pacific Contest 2013, hosted by the USyd. Recently, I have moved to the University of Southern Queensland as a High Performance computing Systems Engineer to help researchers here with HPC based research and computation.

Thomas S. O'Neill, vice president of Exelon Nuclear's new plant development program since March 2007, has been promoted to Senior Vice President
KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. (March 2, 2009) - Thomas S. O'Neill, vice president of Exelon Nuclear's new plant development program since March 2007, has been promoted to Senior Vice President, Generation Development for Exelon Generation, Exelon President and Chief Operating Officer Chris Crane announced today.
In his new role, O'Neill will be responsible for identification and development of new renewable and merchant generation and new enterprises, providing oversight for projects across the company. The promotion is effective March 2, 2009.
A substantial portion of O'Neill's responsibility will involve renewable energy and other development work required to meet carbon reduction goals established under Exelon 2020: A Low Carbon Roadmap. His group will support the work of Corporate Strategy, Corporate Development, Power Team and other organizations as they establish priorities for business and generation development.
Under President Obama's administration, Exelon expects to see a broad range of obligations and opportunities arising from energy, environmental and economic mandates, Crane said. Coupled with Exelon 2020 carbon reduction commitments, the new demands will require a new approach to Exelon's business development.
"We're entering an era of new energy development that requires us to expand our thinking across the traditional fossil and nuclear organizational lines into a broader, more unified approach," Crane said. "This will require an integrated, disciplined project management approach that makes the most efficient use of our resources. Tom has demonstrated that he can consistently and successfully navigate complex, multifaceted projects with nimbleness and efficiency. I am delighted that he will be leading this new approach to our development work."
O'Neill joined Exelon in 2001 after 12 years in private law practice. He was a partner with the Chicago office of the national law firm Jenner & Block, practicing civil and criminal litigation with a wide range of corporate and individual clients. He joined Exelon as lead counsel to Exelon Nuclear and was promoted to vice president responsible for regulatory, legal and environmental affairs before taking on his most recent project development role.
O'Neill received his Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of Illinois-Urbana (Honors with High Distinction) and his law de

A lot of chapters written and expressed with so many emotions I've given.
Impossible to tear it up and remain Unforgiving. And I work all day to pay my mortgage bills like
bkr hypotheken, because I can't be forsaken.
Life is like a wrapped gift you don't want to damage.
Time is passing by and there are moments with lasting tears when I cry.
Stuck in the essence of Pain.
Spoken Words protect when I say I'm fine, but these are lies for the good cause.
I'm saving the bad things for the environment and your thoughts, but that's me.Full with contradictions and your name deeply carved in my distorted heart.
The idea of happiness is like a daydream. a curse of mixed illusions that gave me a crazy vision I only see.
It takes a long while to believe that I'm strong or weak. Or is it wrong that I peak.
Real love is what I need and eventually you will too and that's the truth..
Everything is Temporary.

Alumnus John Carlton-Foss, PhD '81 on the Threat of Global Warming08/24/2009
The impacts of energy use continue to threaten our society, forcing social transformation. Despite ignorance and denial, the facts of Global warming and demand for energy are crowding their way into our reality. The current concentrations of carbon in the atmosphere are higher than they were during the Pliocene Era, 2-5 million years ago. The global temperatures then were 7 to 10 degrees Centigrade higher than the present ones. In 2008 the cost of energy rose so dramatically before falling again that the financial shortfall threatened to overwhelm the most vulnerable in our culture, reminding all of us of our vulnerability. Many came to recognize adequate availability of fuel as a strategic asset. Demand and supply argue that the world economy must voluntarily cut back on its demand or the price will continue to rise until people are forced to cut back. Hidden in financial urgency, are the emerging symptoms of global warming, and the likelihood that the government will have to mandate cutbacks. In fact, if things do not change, energy usage and price will rise when the economy comes out of severe recession. We can do something about it. One thing would be the successful implementation of such programs as Cap and Trade which creates a market for atmospheric carbon, and technical innovations focused on sustainable energy development. Every solution involves enlightened personal choice and discipline. All people must find ways to reduce consumption dramatically while maintaining the sustainable parts of quality in their lives. Many of us have been working on this for decades, work it is again time to share.
Also important in the long term solution to the Global warming issue is managing significant stakeholders who push for actions which increase carbon into the atmosphere. Believe me. I work with some of them. They understand, but they need to be helped to make the transition. We need to foster a social and organizational transformation. If it is to be voluntary, it must have close to 100% market penetration. It must happen very rapidly, within ten to twenty years. Not easy. Self-contained breathing apparatuses (saving the lives of fire-fighters) required 60 years for 50% adoption. The PC revolution required about 25 years but is still not at 100%.
Social science, personal transformation, and marketing science can play significant roles in this transformation. Let's talk about it. I am also very technically skilled, and open to technical discussion. I also blog about energy at http://greenenergyglobalwarming.blogspot.com/, about older people at http://everwalk.blogspot.com/. I participate sometimes in the Harvard and MIT alum discussion groups and would hope to do a certain amount of cross-fertilization among these groups.

At a press conference last Friday, Price Mayor Joe Piccolo stressed that things do not look good for the city or the county as far as water goes.
"There's a good indication, no matter how well things go for the rest of the spring, it will not be a normal year when it comes to water use," stated Piccolo. "I believe even though supplies are low, if we are careful and begin now, we can make it stretch."
Currently, water conditions in the mountains around Carbon County are better than last year. But due to lower levels in Scofield Reservoir, the water situation will not be as good in 2003.
A recent decision between Carbon, Emery and Sanpete counties to pump Skyline mine water into Electric Lake will reduce the flow in Muddy Creek.
The counties agreed to divert the Skyline water into the lake to keep the Huntington Power plant running.
Without the 4,000 gallons per minute from the mine, Utah Power would have to close the plant in June, putting hundreds of people out of work.
The agreement means the flow that contributed to the local water situation last year will be cut at least in half.
Installation of the new transmission line will help Price. But a snag near the Helper overpass has put part of the old line out of commission and new connections will take until mid-June to complete. Until then, the most Price's water system can deliver is 2.5 million gallons per day.
"That's a problem if it gets warm," pointed out the mayor. "During peak warm weather, the demand reaches five million gallons per day."
Supplies for businesses and residents could be tight if people do not conserve water.
"Last year, we did an experiment with one of the big users here in town," explained Piccolo. "We found that, if the outside watering is done to its best effect, 50 percent of the water that is normally used can be saved and the lawns can still look good."
The mayor said peaks in water use usually occur in the summer and one other time.
"It seems people like to turn their hoses on outside around the first of April," commented Piccolo. "I don't know what it is, but we have a big peak in water use at that point, too."
The city has planned an education campaign to change residents' habits and cut usage.
"Last year, the residents, conservation hurt the city's bottom line," noted the Price mayor. "But despite the lower revenues, that was good because it showed people were changing how they used water. Every drop saved helps us all."
Piccolo encouraged local residents to take note of things that affect water usage - not only around home, but everywhere in the community.
"If you see something like a broken pipe or a leak of any kind, call us 24-seven," urged Piccolo. "We don't want to waste water with leaking pipes or breaks in the line. Even call me at home if you have to. I am in the phone book."
Responding to a question raised at the meeting, the mayor and city staff pointed out an interconnection with Price River Water Improvement District exists and PRWID is willing to help in an emergency.
"However, if we are using PRWID water, we are using all our water," said Sam White, Price public utilities supervisor.
Another issue involved advising all community members about the situation.
"We plan on doing a one on one with large water users," said Piccolo. "For residents and others, we will be running some ads encouraging conservation."
Several residents asked how the transmission line costs would effect rates.
"Because of lots of fore-planning on the part of the staff at the city, the rate increase will be very low," replied Piccolo. "It looks to be around 2 to 3 percent and will take 25 years to pay for. The line has a life expectancy of 100 years."

Just a few meters from the beach, some amazing skateboarding action was taking place at the Converse Coastal Carnage bowl. The bowl was a spectacle in itself, with true pool coping in the deep sections. Add a line up of athletes with a super deep bag of tricks, and watch the bleachers fill up. We watched the practice rounds on both Friday and Saturday, which were nearly as exciting as the actual competition. In addition to the up and coming generation of skaters, there were some veterans on hand– Omar Hassan and Lance Mountain (who made it to the finals), to name a few.
Sunday afternoon is when the cash rounds took place. The top three spots were Ben Raybourn, Ben Hatchell, and, Curren Caples, in that order. Ben's winning trick was an insane transfer from a hip extension, to the far side of the shallow end. We were also digging Caple's strong resemblance of the young Jay Adams. Thanks again to Converse for hosting us on such an action packed weekend. Be sure to peep the full gallery.
