1. Most hypotheses for translocation success are elaborate, hierarchical, and untested combinations of socio-ecological predictors. Empirical support for those tested is vulnerable to spurious single-predictor relationships and does not account for the hierarchy amongst predictors and non-independence amongst individuals or cohorts. Testing hypotheses as a priori multi-level models promotes stronger inference.
2. We apply a 25-year (1981–2005) data base including 89 reintroduction and 102 restocking events that released 682 black rhinoceros Diceros bicornis into 81 reserves to test 24 hypotheses for translocation success, defined as survival to 1 year post-release. We made information-theoretic comparisons of hypotheses represented as hierarchical models incorporating random effects for reserve and release cohort predictors of death.
3. Mortality rates after restocking were higher than for reintroductions (13·4 cf. 7·9%, respectively) due largely to intraspecific fighting. No predictors strongly influenced reintroduction success, although cohorts consisting entirely of adult males were 8·2% of individuals but contributed 21·9% of deaths, and reserves with lowest carrying capacities (i.e. <0·1 rhino km−2) had a 16·3% mortality rate. Most models for restocking success were not supported. Only those including age class received substantial support. Age was the only predictor to strongly influence death rates. Predictors previously thought influential, like population density, reserve area and quality, and cohort size, were not supported.
4. Synthesis and applications. Simple rules succeeded where complex ecological and demographic hypotheses failed to predict survival after translocation of critically endangered black rhinoceros. Results support bold attempts by managers at translocations towards species recovery in most ways that they have historically occurred. Groups of rhinoceros of different size and composition can be successfully moved over large distances between different ecological contexts. Also, the release of cohorts into reserves that are relatively small, poorer habitat or already stocked need not be avoided so long as calves and all-male cohorts are not reintroduced, and only adults used for restocking. Our analysis demonstrates the importance of information-theoretic comparisons of a priori hierarchical models to test hypotheses for conservation management. We caution against interpreting simple correlations or regression amongst a large number of nested ecological and demographic variables.

text: I have never seen friendships and relationships destroyed at the rate they are today. The really shameful thing is that it is all so stupid as each person, whether liberal or conservative, should simply get over it. The issue is forever kindled through the spewed-out hatred of the talk show clowns who, by the way, are the only winners in the issue as they are all getting rich as they stir the pot. While everyone should vote they need keep in mind that their vote is really not that significant. We need to reflect on the 1972 presidential election where Nixon won over McGovern with the Electoral College giving him 520 votes to McGovern's mere 17. The real kicker there was the popular vote count where the people gave McGovern 29,084,726 to 7,108,459. So the people gave over four times as many votes to the man that did not win. Duh. This has happened on several other elections. So before you go getting all flustered or stewed-up, first turn off the media screwball pot-stirrers and remember that politics is only good if we have a choice. P.S. Keep your friendships sacred. Paul T. McDaniel, Auburn

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - When people are looking for a new place to live, they typically consider how the new area will affect their commute to work, their neighborhood involvement, and perhaps their child's education. However, a new study suggests that where someone lives can also affect their health.
A recently-released study from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) shows that where someone lives may be a factor in how healthy they are.
The UAMS Center of Rural Health released a 56-page-report on the state of health in Arkansas. It details what medical challenges Arkansans face by county and how residents can work to improve their health.
Director Ann Bynum says counties in the Delta region typically rank the lowest among counties for healthy welfare in the state. The report states that while the majority of Arkansas' residents call rural communities their home, the healthcare resources needed to sustain their lives and improve their health are limitedly available in their rural homes.
"We know that we are facing a shortage of health care professionals in rural Arkansas," said Bynum.
Benton County ranked number one in positive health outcomes while Phillips County came in last.

Spawn of Groupon
Coming soon to an inbox near you: a daily deal. Actually, a lot of them.
Update, Jan. 14, 2011: On Jan. 13, after this article was published, the New York Times' DealBook reported that Groupon is moving forward with an initial public offering, and that investment banks advising on the deal think the company might debut with a value of $15 billion. Here, Annie Lowrey surveys the market for group-deal sites and considers whether the Groupon boom might be a Groupon bubble.
In the past few years, millions of Americans—more than 50 million, in fact—have signed up for a "daily deal" or "group coupon" site. It works like this: You give the online company your ZIP code. Once a day, it sends you an e-mail with a deal from a local business, whether a salon or a sushi joint. The discount is usually steep—generally, 50 percent to 90 percent—and the offer generally expires after a day or two. If you decide you want that $20 massage for $10, you pay up, then print your coupon.
The two dominant players in the field are LivingSocial and Groupon—and both are highly successful. Washington-based LivingSocial has more than 16 million members, and Chicago-based Groupon more than 44 million. Plus, both private companies have serious financial backing: LivingSocial just raised $175 million from Amazon, and Groupon turned down a $6 billion buyout offer from Google, instead raising nearly $1 billion from a variety of investors. The companies' success has inevitably kicked up copycats: Groupon's chief executive recently estimated that 500 imitators have popped up since the site got big. That raises a question: Is this the start of a group-deal boom or a group-deal bubble? Or is it something else entirely?
To understand the phenomenon, let's first survey the competitive landscape. LivingSocial and Groupon have at least a dozen direct competitors—big sites that serve a number of neighborhoods or cities, all looking to get a piece of the $133 billion local businesses spend each year on advertising. There is BuyWithMe, currently serving 26 markets with coupons offering discounts of 50 percent to 90 percent. It is backed by venture-capital heavies Bain Capital Ventures and Matrix Partners. Other big players in the group-coupon field include TownHog (44 U.S. markets, backed by hedge fund D.E. Shaw, among others), Eversave, KGBDeals, and Mamapedia's Sweet Deals.
But the runners-up to LivingSocial and Groupon are distant runners-up. According to December site-visit data compiled by Experian Hitwise, a research and analysis firm, the two biggest sites account for 92 percent of the Web traffic in the "group buying" sector. The third-best-trafficked site, Mamapedia's Sweet Deals, clocks in at just 1.4 percent.
Beyond the national group-coupon sites, there are hundreds of others based in and aimed at local markets: New York City's Scoop St., Virginia's ScoopCoups, Georgia's SavvyLikeMe, the south's GetGrouby, Washington's Deals for Deeds, Seattle's Wrazz, and Phoenix's SnagAndSave, to give just a quick scan of the market. Given that the sites make money by getting more customers to buy more coupons, most are planning regional or even national expansions. And the group-coupon boom extends further still, with piggybacking businesses showing up in the last year or so as well. There are so many daily deals that now there are sites to aggregate the daily deals: YipIt, 8 Coupons, and DealRadar, for instance. And then there are sites to helpbusinesses set up their own group coupons—like the mouthfuls Adility, Wantsa, and Ponkle.
So what differentiates all the group-coupon competitors—the LivingSocial from the Wrazz? To be honest, not much. The Groupon copycats copycat closely. Some sites, like Deals for Deeds, give a portion of sales to charity. Some focus on certain types of customers or products—deals for parents of young kids, or for restaurants and bars, for instance. But all follow the same business model: Local business offers serious discounts to local residents; group coupon site takes a cut. Strangely, they even all look the same, sometimes down to the page design and font.
Taken together, such sites have seen tremendous growth in the past year, despite recession-driven misery in consumer spending and the sluggishness of the advertising market. Experian Hitwise estimates that traffic to group coupon sites grew 610 percent between August 2009 and August 2010. Sales metrics are a bit harder to come by, as the companies are private. But estimates put Groupon's 2010 revenues at $500 million and LivingSocial's revenues at $200 million or so (though both of those numbers should be taken with a heaping pinch of salt). Add in the smaller competitors, and the sector's revenues are more than $750 million. That number is expected to top $1 billion in 2011.
Group coupons are nothing but a souped-up iteration of a very old phenomenon: Plain old coupons date back to the 19th century, if not earlier. That raises the question of what comes next. Will Groupon and LivingSocial prove to be category killers, squashing those 500 little competitors with their wittily written ad copy and awesome deals? Will dozens of new competitors proliferate? Will fierce competition among Groupon, LivingSocial, and their rivals thin margins for all the group coupon sites, forcing some out of business? Will a new form of local or social advertising, perhaps one backed by Google or Facebook, come in and blow all of them out of the water?

Time Traveling Art Historian
John L. Doe
Humanities (HUM/205)
January 08, 2012
I am Shaun Jones an author and a art historian, with the supernatural ability to travel through
time. With this unique ability I have traveled through three classical time periods, to survey and
analyze art work; which included ancient Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Roman civilizations. I
have selected artwork from each period that describes and sums up the cultures in details. I
have also decided to dedicate three chapters to my upcoming book from my experiences with
time travel to these early cultures. My first hand experiences of the specific artwork selected
will characterize the beliefs, ideas, values and desires of the time period. I will also reflect on
how these great works of art changed and influenced its respected era.
Chapter 1: The Colosseum of Ancient Rome
In many ways, Rome inherited its art, culture, literature, philosophy and religious life from
Greece. By the seventh century B.C.E., and along with the Latins, Etruscans, and Celts, the
Greeks occupied parts of the Italian peninsula. This ensured the influence of Greek ways on the
developing Italian culture (Benton & DiYanni, 2008). During my time travel to Rome, I
noticed Greece was the parent of all these European civilizations. The Greek influence was wide
spread throughout these civilizations much of this influence can be seen in the artwork and
architecture. All temples had a Greek temple plan, along with with columns in a Tuscan order,
which is the Doric order modified by the addition of a base(Benton & DiYanni, 2008).
Even though I noticed the Romans conquered the Greeks militarily and politically, the Greeks
conquered the Romans artistically and culturally. This has changed my whole concept and
outlook of Rome. Rome was not its own entitity, but a distant child of Greece....

2 Varieties Of Sourdough Starter
Sourdough Starter.
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 Tblspns sugar
1 envelope active dry yeast
1/2 tsp salt - if desired
2 cups warm water.
Quick Overnight Starter.
2 cups warm water
1 envelope active dry yeast
2 cups all-purpose flour
How to make it
Sourdough Starter.
In a large glass or plastic pitcher, with a strainer in lid or a large bowl, combine all ingredients.
Beat with a wooden or plastic spoon. - Fermentation will dissolve small lumps.
Place lid on pitcher & turn the strainer to the spout or cover the bowl with a cloth.
Set in a warm place & let ferment for 2 -3 days.
Stir mixture several times each day.
Makes 3 - 4 cups.
To use.
Remove the amount of starter needed for recipe & refrigerate the remaining starter in the pitcher with the lid vented by the strainer or a plastic container that has a vent hole in it.
Replenish every 7 - 10 days by stirring in equal amounts of flour & water. After replenishing let stand at room temp. overnight & then return to the fridge.
Quick Overnight Starter.
Follow the same method as the above starter but let stand in a warm place for 6 hrs or overnight.
Starter will ferment, increase in size, then become thin & decrease to it's original size.
Continue for use & replenishment as above starter.
Makes about 3 1/2 cups
For both of these methods, if clear liquid forms on top of starter just stir it back into mixture.
Never use metal containers or spoons to prepare starter.
If not replenished in 7 - 10 days starter may go bad.
If starter turns pink or orange it has gone bad. Discard & start fresh
It can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Before using, remove from the freezer & let thaw in the fridge for 24 hrs.
Never use anything but flour & water & the occasional teaspoon of yeast to replenish starter.
Print it!


text: RawDawg May 04, 2012 3:33 AM BSB » What's the Story? Time to back the Brits Cry me a river. It's been like this since the beginning of time. Companies don't sponsor riders through the ranks because they like them and want to support them. They do it because either the guy writing the checks into bike racing and/or it makes good business sense. Bike racing is bigger in Spain and Italy than say England and the US. It's good a good marking opportunity for companies in Spain and Italy to sponsor riders in their championship. Does it make good business sense for a British company to sponsor a kid in Spanish 125cc it they are not in that market selling products? Probably not. So why would they do it? Repsol isn't paying the bill for Marquez just because he is an outstanding talent. He's attracting eye balls on Spanish TV and it's a good return on advertisement dollars invested.

Engineers Find New "Lake," Prompting Emergency Floodwater Release from Falcon Dam
The Center for Space Research at The University of Texas at Austin has discovered that a 200-square-mile lake has formed in the Rio Grande Basin of northern Mexico, threatening residents of Starr County and others in the Rio Grande Valley.
Gordon Wells, a research engineer with the center, has been closely monitoring the engineering research center's satellite imagery to anticipate regional flooding. On July 9 he discovered the new "lake," about the same size as the Rio Grande River mainstream reservoir and fishing paradise, Falcon International Reservoir.Read more
With Hurricane Ike, researchers develop next-generation forecasts to safeguard coastal communities
Science at the Center of the Storm: It was Sept. 7, 2008, six days before Hurricane Ike, the third most destructive hurricane in U.S. history, crashed into the Texas coast. Ike had already made landfall in Cuba as a Category 4 hurricane, and in the coming days would gather strength over the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.Read more

While I typically support efforts to add sanity to our overly-litigious culture that seems to encourage anyone to sue anybody for anything, I don't think the lawyers at General Mills thought through the type of social media firestorm they would ignite by adding language to the company's website alerting customers they can't take legal action against the company if they've done things like download a coupon, enter a contest or, if read literally, liked on Facebook one of the company's products, say, Cheerios or Wheaties or Macaroni Grill or Fruit Loops.

London & Paris plus Rome July 2013
Hey, I'm looking at doing the London & Paris plus Rome tour in July next year but I'm a little anxious about how it's all going to work as I'll be traveling to Europe for the first time and on my own! I want to do contiki so I can meet & travel with other people, but I'm not a super party person so mainly I want to know that I'll be able to buddy up with other like minded travelers so I don't have to worry about getting stuck out at night (and during the day I guess) without someone to get around with. Anyone else doing this tour and/or know how it all goes when on your own? Thanks!

Hidden amidst the overall very positive sales figures that Chrysler released earlier this week were a few disappointments, the biggest of which may be the Dodge Dart. While Dodge sales in general were down 11 percent from a year ago, the Dart's poor figures stood out from the rest – with 4,888 units sold, the Dart was down 37 percent in February.

Age Appropriate
In a live chat, Prudie counsels a man who is concerned that the age difference between him and his wife makes him a predator.
Q. Loud Eater: I work in a small bungalow on a studio lot in L.A. Three of us have desks out in the open in the main area. Our P.A. is young and a bit quirky, but enthusiastic, eager to learn, and has a great attitude. I adore him, but, he has one hugely annoying habit: He is the loudest eater I have ever encountered. He chomps, slurps, and smacks his way through every meal. We often eat lunches at our desks while working, as we're on a tight schedule. His eating is so distracting, I had to pick up my laptop and carry it outside at one point so I could concentrate on finishing my work. Is it ever okay to tell somebody that they eat too loudly? How can I do it kindly and politely?
A: If you have to leave the room because of the volume of a young colleague's eating, then you will be doing him a huge favor by discussing this with him (but not over a meal). You say he's "quirky" which could mean he lacks certain social skills, but since he's eager to advance, you have to tell him that he has a habit he's probably not aware of he needs to address. Explain he is a really loud eater and he needs to tone it way down. Since you're in the movie or TV business, you could suggest that he tape himself eating and listen and watch what he does. He could also find an etiquette consultant who could give him a few sessions on table manners. To put him at ease, be calm and unembarrassed. In years to come, he'll probably look back with gratitude that you were willing to have a difficult conversation that helped his career.
Q. Abusive Husband's Death: My husband was an emotionally (and, on three occasions, physically) abusive man. He hid his abusive behavior from everyone but our children and me. I recently managed to save up enough money to divorce him and move far away. Then he died; a drunk driver T-boned his car. His family and his friends are grief-stricken and assume I am too. His mother comes over to help with the kids but inevitably breaks down and wants to talk about my husband and how wonderful he was. My children had a very strained volatile relationship with their father, and now they feel pressured to pretend like he was a loving father. My 13-year-old son told me he's not sad his dad died, and, as awful as it sounds, I don't blame him. How should I respond to others' legitimate grief over the man they thought they knew? I feel fraudulent posing as his wife when I couldn't wait to leave him. I didn't want him to die, but if I'm being honest, his death doesn't make me sad either.
A: Since you divorced your husband and moved far away, people should know that your sense of loss is going to be different from someone whose loving husband just died. To the expressions of grief you can respond with anodyne statements. "It was a shocking loss." "I know how much you miss your son/friend/brother." With your former mother-in-law you have a difficult balancing act. You want her in her grandchildren's lives, but you cannot grieve with her. Try saying something like, "Of course I understand you're in agony. But discussing Brandon is just too painful for me, so I'm sorry I can't do it." Despite your relief at your ex's death, I think you should tread carefully with the children because they will have raw and complicated feelings to sort through. You can listen attentively to them and let them know it's okay to express these complicated feelings without saying that you, too, are glad he's dead. You can acknowledge that their father had some good qualities that sadly were often overwhelmed by his bad ones, and that he did cause all of you a lot of pain. You can explain that in such circumstances you understand that among their many feelings is a sense of relief.
Q. Re: Abusive Husband's Death: The letter writer said she had saved up enough so she could divorce her husband and move far away, not that she had initiated any of those proceedings.
A: Ah, thanks for clarifying my misreading. Yes, this complicates things, but I will then reiterate my initial advice. For herself and her children, she simply should not put on false theatrics about being the devastated widow. She can acknowledge the grief of the other person and say it's too painful for her to have conversations about her ex. She should limit things with her mother-in-law. She was planning to move, which she should probably put on hold at least temporarily because her kids are going through enough disruption. But eventually she may decide starting over somewhere else is still a good idea.
Q. Looking a Gift Cruise in the Mouth: My in-laws announced late last summer that for a Christmas gift they were taking everyone in the family on a cruise in 2013. I'm not crazy about cruises but would be a good sport and go since they were paying for it. Turns out they are only paying the costs of the cruise cabin. We are having to pay flights/transfers/tips/additional cruise costs/required shore trips. By the time this is all said and done, this will most likely be my husband's and my only vacation this year. How do I keep a jovial attitude whilst spending all this additional money on a trip I don't even want to go on?
A: You and your husband have to decide if you want to do this trip. If it fills you both with dread, then you're adults and entitled to disregard the royal decree of his parents. But if he feels this will likely be the only time his entire family gets to all be together in such an extended fashion, his parents are getting older, and the fun parts of the trip will balance out the expense, then you make peace with the fact that being in a family means you don't always get your own way. There are worse things in life than having someone pay for your cabin on a cruise ship. As long as the ship's engine doesn't die mid-voyage, or the passengers don't get norovirus, you'll be able to consider the trip a success.

Wield the weapon from the Republic's destroyer and its savior!
Both Anakin and Luke Skywalker battled with a blue lightsaber. Star Wars Anakin/Luke Skywalker Blue Lightsaber is based on that "elegant weapon," as Obi-Wan Kenobi called it. The blade lights up and extends to 3 feet in length, telescoping down into the handle when not in use. As a young padawan, Anakin Skywalker wielded a blue lightsaber that he crafted himself, and the weapon served him through many adventures. After he turned to the Dark Side, Anakin -- now Darth Vader -- fought his former master Obi-Wan and was nearly destroyed. Obi-Wan then took the blue lightsaber and saved it until the day that he could present it to Anakin's son, Luke, when the two met on Tatooine. From that moment on, Luke kept this lightsaber. It was the weapon he used in training with Obi-Wan and Yoda, when battling Jabba the Hut, and later when he fought Darth Vader at Cloud City. In that struggle, Luke lost both his hand and the blue lightsaber when it tumbled away and fell into a maintenance shaft. No matter which Jedi knight you choose to be, the blue lightsaber, carried by heroes in a galaxy long ago and far away, is a weapon you can be proud to own!

Blogger outreach essential for brands
18 December 2013
GLASGOW: The advocacy and opinions of influential bloggers can be more useful than a high-profile ad in connecting with a target audience by creating unique content and boosting SEO strategies, according to leading industry figures.
But, warned Jo-Ann Fortune, fashion and retail editor at digital agency iCrossing, brands should not think of them as just a cheap option. A professional partnership,
she told The Drum
, brings the best results.
One brand doing this successfully is fashion retailer Uniqlo, which commissioned fashion bloggers to create content around a new collection. "The most successful approach for us is to create bespoke campaigns and experiences that bloggers and their followers can get genuinely excited about," said Alice Frost, European digital and CRM manager for Uniqlo.
Google algorithms are also playing a role in influencing consumers looking for an authoritative voice. Adam Keyes, content and promotions executive at The Search Agency, noted that Google Authorship Markup meant the search giant could now rank the authority of particular bloggers as well as blogs generally.
"Blogger outreach is essential in accelerating the necessary 'know, like, trust' process that is essential in achieving the required conversions you set out for," he stated.
Underlying this was a need to operate a co-ordinated digital marketing strategy. "It is surprising how often you see blogger and influencer engagement from a social and PR perspective running cluelessly in tandem with tactical SEO paid link-building," observed Aresha Krishnan, senior content manager at Cheil.
"Too many agencies fail to identify the huge opportunity to join the dots to form a more holistic digital content strategy," she added.
Brands and bloggers also have to be wary of breaching advertising rules that require paid-for content to be made clear to readers. The Advertising Standards Authority recently updated guidance on its website,
urging bloggers to be "up-front"
about any financial relationships with the brands they were writing about.
It said that it had received a "steady stream of enquiries" from bloggers, some of whom had raised concerns about agencies offering them money to advertise on their behalf while encouraging them not to declare their interest.

Hi Ladies! I am thinking about filing for child support and sole physical placement of my 18 month old daughter and need some advice! Sorry if this gets a little long, I'm new to this and don't know all the abbreviations you guys use! Here's a little info about my situation. My daughter's father and I lived together until she was about 9 months old, since then she has lived with me 100% of the time. He has never even had her overnight (thank god lol) SD cannot keep a job for more than a few weeks and also gets paid under the table a lot. He gets in trouble with the law a lot as well. In fact he may be going to jail in the next few weeks. He does not have a stable home either. He lives back n forth between his family, moving almost every month. It is no place for a child (lots of yelling, drug use and anger) He also smokes marijuana. AND he has severe anger management problems and has been violent towards me numerous times. We get along fairly good (when he is calm) and he sees DD a few times a week and on the weekends. That being said, what are my chances of getting sole physical placement? We wrote up an agreement and SD agreed to give me placement and also that DD is not allowed at his home due to it being an unstable environment. SO...how do I get child support if he either isn't working or gets paid under the table? Can he be granted overnight visits even if I have physical placement? Basically, I want him to be able to see DD but in a very controlled environment and NOT overnight. What do I do??? Sorry this got so long but I don't know anyone else who has gone through something like this!!
Custody Questions!!
Comments (3)
Gosh, the first thing I would do is find a lawyer, he would be able to help with all your questions and get you on the road to a successful custody case. I would think anyway. Best of luck to ya.
Here's what I can tell you...in Washington state, if the parents have a parenting plan, which is what you have with him on paper, it is granted during child support hearing. My SD and I don't, but he's also never seen his DD. The court, without me asking, gave me sole custody and if he wants to see her, he can ask nicely or take me to court. I'm not sure where you live, but my county court system has people you can meet with for $10 a session that can answer questions and give you paperwork and advise on filling it out/court processes. Check and see if your courts offer that. If not, I agree with Kim, find a family lawyer that might offer a free hour meeting. Have your questions written down, the agreement and any proof you have that he's got some issues. Hopefully that will help you out. And the next time he get physical/verbal with you CALL 911!! That way it's on the record and the will help you out a lot!!!!!!
I know how it feels when it comes time to start fighting with the system. I was so scared he was going to get some type of custody and take it only because he knew it would upset me. I hope it works out for you. You might not get a lot of financial support, but just know your daughter will be safe with you and not in his crazy world. Lots of luck and stay strong! It's a LONG up hill battle, the end result should be worth it.
Proud mother (and father) to Olivia Mae, born August 15, 2007
I don't know what state you are in so the laws do vary. I can say in my experience with custody and support, which are 2 seperate issues in the state of CA, that you have nothing without documented proof. You can request drug testing, but it has to be proved as to why. He is going to jail, what for. You basically need proof of his abuse to you and/or your child. Smoking a joint doesn't necessarily warrant supervised visitation. Lack of paying support doens't warrant you withholding visitation( not that you are, just trying to prove examples), etc. Basically you need to document his behavior, the more examples you have, the more able you are to present oyur case to the judge.
As far as support goes, they can award it, doesn't mean he will pay it. And if he works under the table, there is nothing you can do to make his employer be honest and state how much he is actually making. If he is in an out of jail, then there is nothing you can do to make him pay it. You really can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.
Your best bet is to go for consults with some attorneys. See what your options are and if it is even worth pursuing. Sometimes it is better to let sleeping dogs lie.

Other activities Research Interests My research interests include learner corpora, the effects of L1 upon Second Language Acquisition, Cognitive Linguistics, e-Learning and the teaching of grammar. I began my PhD (part-time) in 2009. Thesis title: How definite are we about the definite article? Supervisors: Dr Jeannette Littlemore and Dr Nicholas Groom The difficulty with which many international students use a/the/Ø articles is an interesting research area for both linguistic and pedagogical reasons. My research shows that learners of English, when writing academic English, are confronted with a choice of a/the/Ø articles in around 1 in every 5 words. This high frequency of use shows that improved pedagogy is important, but also makes them an ideal focus for any researcher interested in learner errors, since relatively small corpora can yield very rich insights. With the assumption that first language transfer effects are one variable, even if only one among other more significant factors which impact upon learners' 'target-like use' of the article system, my thesis first investigates different L1 learners' use of the English article system in academic writing using error-tagged learner corpora. After comparing their patterns of use with L1 English teachers' writing, I speculate about how and why different L1 learners underuse and overuse English the definite articles using a testing approach to evaluate several possibilities.

The Digital Skeptic: Wake Up and Smell the Profits
MainStreet) -- Sam Penix doesn't want to be shown the money. He prefers to smell his way to profits. "If you assume some sort of algo or machine is going to do the job," says Penix, owner of the Everyman Espresso shop in Soho, "you might as well not show up to work."Penix owns not one but two of the highest quality, high-margin, high-end coffee bars here in caffeine-obsessed Gotham. He specializes in a diabolically tricky end of the custom-coffee game: the so-called microlot brew. In other words, he scours the crazily fractured -- and frankly, skeevy -- global coffee market for the best of the best of those who grow, ship, roast, blend and finally brew coffee. The baristas he hires are as important as any step in the process. "What people learn in this business is, with so many moving parts you can't be too exact," Penix warns. "If one piece of the chain sucks, the coffee sucks. And the customers won't come back." Penix is brewing up some impressive numbers in this growing market. Specialty coffee shops such as Everyman account for about a third of the total U.S coffee market, which peaks at $32 billion, according to the Specialty Coffee Association of America, the Long Beach, Calif.-based coffee industry trade group. He opened this second Soho location about a month ago, and it's easy to see why business is booming. When I happened in for a cup of what Penix told me was a microlot varietal called Pacamara from Santa Elena, El Salvador, it was to get out of the rain. But when I was served what was, without question, one of the best espressos I have had in years, I happily paid $3.50 for a cup, $19 for a pound of roasted beans and $80 for a hand grinder to improve my at-home coffee skilz. Considering that I -- and everyone I know -- grumbles when paying a third of that for Dunkin' Donuts (DNKN) or the simply dreadful Starbucks (SBUX), when I smell margins like this, I wake right up. And I began pressing Penix for his secrets. Which took about zero effort.NEW YORK (

Verified Patient Reviews
He is a great doctors but he treats many (many) patients at the same time and the wait time is just awful
Great dr and the whole team. Thank you !!
Que es un excelente doctor, te explica sobre lo que tienes y es muy amable.
I think the doctor himself was fine, but the staff needs to know before touching somebody, you need to explain to the person who/what they are and what they are going to do.
Very nice staff, very clean office, and very nice and friendly Doctor!
Kind and understanding, on the spot and professional.
Very fast consultation
I believe treatment and diagnosis were good. Doctors are great and very nice. But the waiting time was awful... Why booking so many patients (over twenty??) at the same time when there are only two doctors? Besides, by adding five degrees to the AC, it wouldn't be so cold, yet totally bearable (and the clinic would save so much money!).
Muy bueno,
both him and Dr. Awad were very patient and involved with obtaining the correct eyeglass prescription for my husband
Excellent team and quality of service, all my doubts were solve and make me feel satisfied with the doctor, diagnosis and treatment.
es un equipo completamente profesiona, yo quede completamente satisfecho, y se lo recomendaria a cualquiera. gracias al dr Lazcano ya su equipo.
Every time I see this great surgeon it is a pleasure.
I'll recommend it.
Very good, solo la demora de verte con el doctor por lo demas ok.
Friendly staff, nice place . Decent wait time
The whole staff was very nice. Yes, I would definitely recommend. Didn't like the waiting time, got there a 8:30am and left around 11am. But lately every doctor I go it's the same, so as long as the staff and doctor are great (which was the case) it's ok. :)
Very pleasant experience, even though the wait was long
Everyone was very nice. The testing was very intense. I was impressed. The Dr. Lazcano was very profesional and down to Earth. I will definitely go back and also recommend this office.
I was attended in a corteous way.
Speedy service and very friendly staff.
Long waiting time and Dr Lazcano deferred me to one of his doctor partners.
Great service. I liked the clinic and the staff was very Nice
I like that he go direct to the point and seems to be pretty confident with his profession.
Very good- office was very busy at 8:30 am.
Una factoria
Excelente !!!!
Recomendable, excelente staff. Volveré.
Very professional and thorough. I am glad to have chosen this doctor.
Very nice staff, no wait. Loved the doctors!!
He is an excellent professional. Also, he's very kind. No hesitation in recommending him.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Street League Stakeboarding
Official Sponsor
Final Stop/p>
UIC Pavilion
Chicago, IL October 4, 2015
PacSun is proud to support the SLS Nike SB World tour.
Prudential Center RECAP
Newark, NJ August 23, 2015
PacSun is proud to support the SLS Nike SB World tour, a competition that elevates street skateboarding and showcases an international roster of skating's elite pros as they compete in an easy-to-follow, instant-scoring format. At each stop on the tour, world-famous arenas are transformed into custom concrete skate plazas, challenging the pros to raise their skateboarding to new highs. The winner of each tour event is guaranteed a spot in the 2015 Street League Super Crown World Championship in Chicago.
In May 2014 he made a name for himself when he qualified in the top spot in the first annual Monster Energy Street League Pro Open in Los Angeles. His performance that day secured him a spot on the tour. From there he had a great rookie season, in which he qualified for the finals at each stop and was in seventh place heading into the Super Crown championship. He finished in 5th place at the Super Crown, ahead of Paul Rodriguez, Luan Oliveira and Shane O'Neill.
He was the 7th best skater on the tour overall with an average trick score of 7 and his highest scoring trick was an 8.7. Now that he's a bit more seasoned and knows what to expect at each stop don't be surprised if he takes it up a few notches in 2015 and inches closer to making an appearance at the winner's podium. Having just turned Pro for Flip, it's safe to say he is on his way.
In 2013 he was electrifying in Street League, placing second in three stops and winning his first stop ever in Munich, Germany, and later the Super Crown championship. 2014 wasn't a good year for Cole in Street League, he placed 9th overall and his 7th place showing at the Monster Energy Pro Open was his best. Despite placing 14th in Chicago and 10th in Los Angeles he had an average trick score of 7.7 and his highest scored trick was an 8.4. He didn't make it to the Super Crown but is specifically the type of person who can bounce back from a down year, because he knows the Street League format well and knows precisely how to skate in order to win the contest.

...but having a second baby is back on the table! My Dh got promoted this month (technically it's a new job, but for the same company) and he got a substantial raise. But, last Friday, I got surprised with a promotion. I've been asking for it for 3 years, and just figured it was never going to happen because I kept getting the run around from my boss. I was shocked! And it was a huge raise, 26%!!!! They said it's because my first manager hired me in at way too low of a salary, so they used this opportunity to "make it right" and bring me up to industry standard for a CG designer.
So anyway, back to the point. I thought we were for sure one and done, and this weekend I brought it up with Dh. He wants to look at the budget and pay off his car first, but said we could start trying as soon as next summer! Which might sound a little far away to you guys, but if you thought you were never going to have another, it sounds extremely close
