Ruffed Grouse Habitat Management
Management for grouse should be directed at creating or maintaining a variety of forest habitats, specifically; breeding cover, nesting cover, brood rearing cover, and fall/winter cover.
Breeding habitat centers around the availability of suitable drumming logs. Males select level logs on sites where the vegetation allows visibility of at least 60 feet. The area must have sufficient stem density and canopy coverage to provide protection from hawks and owls. At least one drumming log per acre is required. The best breeding habitat is found in 10 to 25 year old hardwood stands with densities that tend to range from 2,500 to 15,000 stems per acre, depending on the site and hardwood species.
Preferred nesting habitats have more open understories, lower densities of woody stems, and less ground cover than the habitat used for drumming. Nesting habitat is comprised of young hardwood stands which are 15 to 30+ years old, with trees 2" to 8" DBH, and somewhat open understories. Stem densities may range from 2,000 to 8,000 stems per acre but will vary depending on the site and hardwood species present.
Hens with broods prefer habitats which support a diverse mixture of herbaceous plants with succulent leaves, fruits, and an abundance of insects. Broods need habitat which is open at ground level so as not to restrict movement, but with overhead cover to provide protection from predators. Five to fifteen year old hardwood clearcuts meet these conditions.
During the fall and winter, grouse utilize a wide variety of habitats. The best winter cover exists in clearcut hardwood stands that are 10 to 30+ years old. Moist sites within clearcuts are heavily utilized in winter because they support a wide variety of food sources. Laurel and greenbrier thickets serve as important fall/winter foods particularly in the southeast. Rhododendron and/or white pine thickets may provide thermal cover.
To create the desired future habitat conditions for ruffed grouse, habitat management practices should include:
- Clearcutting as the primary habitat management technique.
- Providing critical cover types within a small area (50 to 100 acres) adjacent to each other.
- Managing forest stands on a pulpwood or short rotation of 40 to 60 years.
- Creating small clearcuts (no larger than 15 acres), irregularly shaped, and well distributed throughout the woodland.
- Leaving at least one drumming log per acre cut.
- Leaving any soft mast shrub and tree species present, particularly grape vines. Retaining a variety of hard mast trees (oaks, hickories, gum, beech, cherry, etc.).
- Leaving no den/perch trees within grouse cuts, to reduce habitat for predators.
- Promoting the natural seeding of white pine whenever possible on small areas for winter cover.
- Daylighting roads at least 50 feet on each side.
- Stabilizing haul roads, skid trails, and landings with a grass/legume mixture (no fescue). Soft mast plantings should be incorporated around landings and skid roads, using native species which retain fruit late into winter.

But he'll sign the St. Patrick's Day bill as a goodwill gesture to Democrats, who moved closer this week toward agreement with the Republican governor on how to address the $484 million Medicaid debt to hospitals. "He says he'll sign the bill. He's a man of his word," said the bill's sponsor Saco Democrat Barry hobbins. "I'm very pleased to have him sign the bill and have it become law. It's very unfortunate that something that was done with a sincere gesture, in an innocuous way turned into a political football."Current state law prohibits the sale of liquor on Sunday between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. The bill would roll back the earliest opening to 6 a.m.Some Maine businesses say they'd lose business without the new law.

Is Tori Spelling about to leave husband, Dean McDermott, thanks to Emily Goodhand? Reports speculate she might just do that after Goodhand went to Us Weekly magazine claiming she slept with her husband of seven years. On Jan. 5 Us Weekly posted a photograph of Spelling seen again without her husband during a family outing.
According to the report, Spelling and her kids -- Liam, 6, Stella, 5, Hattie, 2, Finn, 16 months -- went to Maggiano's Italian Restaurant in Los Angeles Saturday. Also joining them was good friend, Mehran Farhat, and the children's nanny.
McDermott allegedly cheated on Spelling with Goodhand in early December while he was in Toronto promoting a hosting gig of his. According to Goodhand, she met McDermott through a mutual friend of theirs and ended up spending two nights together. She even went as far to say that they did not use protection before they had sex.
Some sources say Tori Spelling will stay with Dean McDermott despite the alleged cheating he did with Emily Goodhand while others say she is "disgusted" by what her husband has done and will end the marriage. A lot more will come of this scandalous marriage before it is over.
Is the latest photo a sign things are about to officially end?

First Patient Enrolled in GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Study
Multi-Center Study to Assess Safety and Effectiveness of GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis for Treatment of Common Iliac Artery Aneurysms (CIAA) or Aorto-Iliac Aneurysms (AIA)
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.—November 14, 2013—W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. (Gore) announced that Brian Peterson, MD, from Saint Louis University, enrolled the first patient in the GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Clinical Study, a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, single-arm study designed to assess the safety and effectiveness of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis for treatment of patients with Common Iliac Artery Aneurysms (CIAA) or Aorto-Iliac Aneurysms (AIA). The patient was treated at St. Anthony's Medical Center, in St. Louis, Missouri.
The GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Devices (iliac branch component and internal iliac component) are used in conjunction with the GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis to isolate the common iliac artery from systemic blood flow and preserve blood flow in the external iliac and internal iliac arteries.
Dr. Peterson commented, "We are pleased to get this important study underway and move closer toward improved iliac artery repair. The low profile design, pre-cannulated branch, and bi-femoral delivery system proved beneficial in this first case. We look forward to the results of this important study and their implications for minimally invasive endovascular procedures involving iliac arteries."
"Providing the best possible patient care and fulfilling unmet clinical needs require constant innovation. Gore is committed to advancing these innovations through collaboration with the clinical community," added Ryan Takeuchi, Aortic Business Unit Leader at Gore. "We are excited that endovascular specialists globally are expressing such a high level of interest in the study and in iliac artery repair solutions."
Endovascular specialists will enroll 60 patients at up to 50 sites during the course of this study. The GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis received CE Mark in October 2013 and is currently available in the U.S. for investigational purposes only.
The Gore Medical Products Division has provided creative therapeutic solutions to complex medical problems for more than 35 years. During that time, more than 35 million innovative Gore Medical Devices have been implanted, saving and improving the quality of lives worldwide.

I'm looking for an equivalent of Ctrl+Alt+Del on Windows for OS X.
Note: I am not looking for cmd+option+esc and this is not a duplicate of any questions asking for a "task manager".
Ctrl+Alt+Del on Windows uses an interrupt whereas cmd+option+esc is just another keyboard shortcut. If the system is stuck (hung, etc.) cmd+option+esc will not respond because it's just another user-mode program/dialog like any other.
I'm looking for an interrupt-based solution that will allow me to take control of an unresponsive system. OS X is (by and large) more stable than Windows, but when it gets stuck I have not found a solution as powerful as Ctrl+Alt+Del on Windows.

Gaius Charles is saying goodbye to the ABC hit medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" after this season. According to a report by Entertainment Weekly on March 25, the actor who plays resident Shane Ross will not have his contract picked up by the show next season.
Charles is not alone in departing the show. Actress Tessa Ferrer who plays resident Leah Murphy will also not be back. Both Gaius and Ferrer will join long-time regular Sandra Oh in leaving the show. It is unclear as to how either of the characters will leave the show.
Charles joined the show last season along with Ferrer and actresses Camilla Luddington and Jerikka Hinton, adding some new blood to "Grey's Anatomy". The show could be open for future guest appearances. With Isaiah Washington returning in a guest role, anything is possible for the long running prime time drama series.

Betting preview with Bet Butler
by Stuart Vose
Official partners bring us Liverpool match odds.
Liverpool v Sunderland: Wednesday January 2nd 19:45
Match analysis from Sunderland betting partner Bet Butler:
Liverpool 1.44 | Draw 4.90| Sunderland 9.40
There's every chance of Sunderland coming away with something from this match, as they are undefeated in their last three games against the Reds.
Sunderland have ended level in four of their away games this season, with Liverpool drawing five of their last 15 against teams currently in the middle third of the table. You could consider Sunderland Draw No Bet at 7.0 as this returns your stake in the event of a stalemate.
Also worth a look is Sunderland to win the first half at 7.50. The Black Cats have been in front at the break in four of their 10 away games this season and in five of their last 14 games away at teams in the top half.
Steven Fletcher looks cracking value to score first as Sunderland have netted first in half their away games this term. Fletcher is 11.0 to score first, with Saha 13.5 and Sessegnon 15.0.
For all the best odds, visit Bet Butler.

I'm ready to reroof my house and want to consider an elastomeric coating rather than replacing the existing shingles. I'd use a local contractor either way
If what you are asking is if you should coat old shingles with a elastomeric coat instead of tearing off the old and replace with new, I think the answer is no. Such rubberized compounds are normally used for short term repairs (2 to 5 years) on damaged shingles on a pitched roof, and as a seam sealer on rolled roofing for flatter pitches. If your shingles are failing, coming loose or have cupped or distorted with age, coating them most likely would be a very short term fix. The underside of the shingles will continue to fail, making an expensive coating project a waste of money in my opinion.
If I have missed the point of the question, I'm sorry. If the situation is different, the answer may change a bit. But normally, i'd never use an eleastomer coat over old worn out shingles.
Shingles have the advantages that one would associate with a well understood conventional technology, those implicit in a large tradebase of competent installers and those that come with a long history of successful installations on residential and commercial structures.
Elastomeric roof coatings have all the advantages that come from lacking these features.

The playlist this week is dedicated to my mom. After a lifelong career in speech therapy, she retires tomorrow.
Most people, of course, are biased towards the greatness of their own mothers. But I can say with complete confidence that plenty of others appreciate mi madre for the truly wonderful woman she is. She's a standout teacher who, for decades, has been adored by students and respected by colleagues. During her long and illustrious journey as a speech therapist, she's touched many lives.
In retirement, she'll continue to touch many more.
Congrats, Mom. I'm proud of you.
Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight (EigenARTig Deepest Love Remix)
I remember when Eagle Eye Cherry's original version first came out. It was 1997. I was about to enter a new high school. My mom was driving a couple of my friends and me to the annual summer fair. The song came on the car radio and we all started singing it. We were seizing the night, just as the song instructs, because "tomorrow comes to take me away." Hearing this remix gives me the goosebumps. I can't tell if it's because of the memory it triggers, or because of how bone-chillingly beautiful it is. Either way, it's haunting. (You can get EigenARTig's insanely awesome remix for free with a "Like" on Facebook; follow the "FREE DOWNLOAD" button from SoundCloud.)
Come September, now that she won't have to commute anywhere, I wonder what my mom will do early in the morning. Will she sleep in? Will she make waffles and pancakes? Will she read up on cross-stitching strategy and join a knitting club? Knowing her, she'll probably dance. You will too if you put on this upbeat indie charmer.
After she's done dancing, I bet my mom will pack her bags and head down to Cape May. It's her absolute favorite place in the world to be. The quaint sea town is laidback yet elegant, just like my mom. And just like this song.
Most people count down the days to retirement because they can't wait to do nothing all day. But not my mom. She's already on the board of two organizations and is debating which to join next. For those who aren't quite as self-motivated, expansive life-affirming songs like this one will give ya a good kick on the behind.
Teachers are superheroes. I smile thinking back to a few of my own elementary school teachers, especially the ones who encouraged me to be creative. I have no doubt others do the same when they think about how my mom helped them overcome their speech challenges. She acted as their guide, helping them (often, quite literally) find their voice. Over the years, my mom has worked with hundreds, if not thousands, of kids. Each of their lives has been made better by discovering the gift of language. If that's not the work of a superhero, then I don't know what is.

College Hockey:Crusaders prevent a shutout in a tough weekend
Three things from this weekend's action in Atlantic Hockey
1. Holy Cross prevents a shutout – The league did a decent job the previous week in a plethora of non-conference games, but this past weekend was a different story. AHA teams went 1-8-2 out of league, with only the Crusaders posting a win. Goaltender Matt Ginn led the way with 36 saves as the Crusaders beat the Golden Knights on the road 3-1. After being hooked on a breakaway, senior Brandon Nunn converted on a penalty shot in the third period to seal the deal.
"I was deciding whether or not to watch it," Pearl told the Watertown Daily Times. "I was going to let the crowd reaction tell me what happened. But Brandon made a beautiful shot."
The win avenged a 5-0 loss to Clarkson last year at Holy Cross. The Golden Knights have another shot at the AHA when they host Niagara this weekend.
2. Ya gotta protect the lead – In five of the the ten games Atlantic Hockey teams didn't win this past weekend (0-8-2), the AHA team had a lead but didn't hold it. Both nights Niagara played at Michigan State, the Purple Eagles had a 2-0 lead going into the third period, but lost on Friday and had to settle for a tie on Saturday.
Niagara lost the ensuing shootout on Saturday while Mercyhurst won theirs after losing a third period lead and tying Ferris State. Both games were in CCHA rinks, and the league uses that abominable practice. At least in these games, the shootout didn't count. They actually award points for the thing in conference play.
3. Buffalo State is better than Michigan? If you play the game of comparing scores, this can be claimed. The Division III Bengals defeated Penn State 3-0 on Friday, and the Nittany Lions turned around the beat Rochester Institute of Technology 3-2 on Saturday. The Tigers defeated Michigan 5-4 in overtime on Oct. 11. As Mercyhurst forward Matt Zay said in reaction to this question on my Twitter feed:

Many companies count on us to acquire and retain the right talent. Immaterial of whether your need is temporary manpower, temporary to permanent, seasonal work force or world class flexi work force, FOGMY will be able to source the right candidate, across India, within the expected time frames.
As a leading staffing agency from India our operational excellence caters across segments.

Generally, after the short-listing, you get to recruit your hand-picked candidates, and then they migrate onto our rolls.
Contract Staff Augmentation
FOGMY can search out experienced, highly qualified personnel to quickly fill a position on a project team or a temporary vacancy in the organizational chart. Contract Services are a perfect solution for companies that experience frequent fluctuation in the need for people resources. As projects begin to ramp up, FOGMY can be there to supplement the necessary resources to complete the job. As projects are completed and inventory begins to slow down, FOGMY can help manage the discontinuation of existing contracts.
Consultant-to-Hire Services are very similar to Contract Services with the exception that it is normally the intention of the company to hire the FOGMY consultant at some point in the future. Contract-to-Hire Services give the company the ability to monitor the work performance of a Consultant prior to making a formal offer of employment. This option can also be an excellent solution for companies that have a temporary to permanent placement need or have not yet budgeted for hiring at that time but have the forecasted need for the position as full-time.
Direct Hire
FOGMY Direct Hire Services are a perfect solution for companies that need resources internally but may lack the recruiting expertise or resources to attract ideal candidates. FOGMY team can help by seeking out those top performers who are gainfully employed at their current company and not actively seeking to change jobs and those that are currently looking. We are able to recruit these people, the right people, for you by getting to know your company values and goals and then selling the candidate on the benefits of working for your company. Direct Hire Services give companies the ability to immediately hire FOGMY Consultants as internal employees
Candidate Sourcing
Resume Searching Services - Our resume sourcing solution is the key to kicking off and/or supercharging an existing search. Allow us to take the burden out of sourcing through either hundreds of unqualified responses or that very niche, small talent pool position by searching resumes from our vast networks of connections, internal databases and headhunting strategies that match your key position criteria.
Consultant Recruiting Solutions - Our consultant recruiters get to know you, your jobs and your firm and provide you with dedicated recruiting over a 2 to 3 week period to fill your open position. ALL candidates sourced will be forwarded to you for your own database / files. This not only ensures compliance with various Federal / State labor reporting requirements but also allows you the flexibility to reach out to those candidates not selected at a later time for future position vacancies. The consultant is also a brand champion for your firm, selling the virtues of the organization to prospective candidates for both current and future openings.

By now, surely everyone knows that actor and comedian Robin Williams has committed suicide. Certainly, everyone realizes what a tragedy it is as well. How could anyone who made so many people so happy have done such a thing? How could someone with such a profound ability to entertain and also make others reflect on important things (if you've heard him tell the story of The Fisher King you know what we mean) do something so final to himself? Suicide, really, is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
We are not trying to criticize Mr. Williams nor anyone else who has fought the demons which influenced them towards suicide. That we can't understand it perhaps ought to make us all the more considerate of the mind which contemplates such an act. Of all the things a human being might do this, being so very beyond what other ills a man might commit, stops us in our tracks. One can almost understand someone hurting someone else for personal gain or private pleasure. But taking one's own life? It seems about as extreme of a thing as possible to imagine.
Again, we're not condemning Robin Williams or anyone else who's committed suicide. That's not our job, and the very nature of the act appears to us so incomprehensible as may also make it easily forgivable. The trouble is that we can't do that too readily either. We don't want to be so willing to excuse suicide that we might however inadvertently encourage someone else to do it to themselves. We don't want people to believe that it's okay to do that if things become, at face value, too difficult to handle. And as difficult as it is to say or hear especially right after news like that of Robin Williams, it's within the realm of possibility that someone taking their own life fully understood what they were doing, but did it anyway. That is the basic rationale behind the late Jack Kevorkian's ideals, you know.
What we do affects what others do. We are all role models, whether we want to be or not and whether we think so or not. As such, we can't be too forgiving of suicide lest we make it a reasonable alternative, particularly for someone who is facing demons we can't imagine. We can't encourage a world which effectively says, if it were the only option Robin Williams saw, it must be all right. It may be splitting hairs to say love the person but hate the action. But we don't see any other acceptable outlook.
What we need to do is be on the lookout for signs of trouble among our friends and family and to encourage fortitude in dealing with the issues they face, and help them find better solutions to their problems. We ought to be charitable (we will not say nonjudgmental, because to be that would actually require us to a blanket acceptance of things like suicide if you think about it) if as a result of their battles something tragic may happen. If it comes to that, all we can say is, Rest in Peace.
Rest in Peace, Robin Williams. And for those interested in hearing his story of The Fisher King, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wN3bcE7ldHg It seems specially poignant today.

CLEVELAND - A fast start at home proved to be enough for Cleveland State, which grabbed a 74-62 win over visiting Detroit behind 21 points from Bryn Forbes who also paced the Vikings with eight rebounds in front of 4,101 at the Wolstein Center.
"I don't know how," Forbes said of his eight rebounds that were key in the Vikings holding off the Titans, who came to Cleveland as unbeaten co-leaders of the Horizon League. "The guy I was guarding was 6-6 so I guess it was my blocking out," added the freshman from East Lansing, Mich., who played against a number of Titans in high school.
"I played a few of them," he explained. "Ray McCallum (Jr.) scored 28 against us in the first half of the state championship game," he remembered.
Forbes got 19 of his 21 points in the first half, when the Vikings, who led wire to wire, took a 43-35 lead to the locker room.
The Viking freshman guard got there with 5-of-6 from behind the 3-point line including one in the final seconds to close out the first 20 minutes and hand CSU its 8-point advantage that never evaporated.
"We came up against a very hungry team," said Titan coach Ray McCallum Sr. "And our guard play was not very good. That hurt us. Cleveland State came out fast and Forbes set the tone. We have to get back to business with our next three at home."
The Titans got 22 points from Ray McCallum Jr., but he could have had a much better day, hitting just 4-of-11 from the foul line. As a team, the Titans had a tough day from the stripe, going just 13-for 32. Detroit, which averages 79 points a game, also got 16 from Nick Minnerath, but had no others in double figures.
Detroit, 11-6 overall, also had trouble behind the 3-point line, going 3-for-18 for the game and 0-for-7 after intermission. All Detroit's nine second-half field goals were either dunks or lay ups.
Cleveland State, 10-8 with the win, is off to its annual 2-game swing to Wisconsin to face Milwaukee on Thursday and Green Bay on Saturday. The Vikings got back to even at 2-2 in the league with the win over the Titans.
"We have played the top four teams in the league and came out 2-2," said CSU coach Gary Waters, who got 15 points from senior Tim Kamczyc and another 11 from sophomore Sebastian Douglas in stopping a stretch where the Vikings had lost three of four including league road losses at Valparaiso and Wright State.
The 74 points put up by the Vikings were the team's most since a 79-59 win over Rio Grande on Dec. 28 and most against a Division I opponent since besting Toledo 78-73 back on Dec. 1.
Cleveland State, which won both regular season meetings last season with Detroit but lost an Horizon League tournament game with the Titans, are in Detroit Feb. 12 in the return match.
Detroit is home Thursday to host Valparaiso. the Titans then stay home on Saturday to play UIC before concluding a 3-game home stand with a Jan. 21 game with league leader Wright State (4-0).
