THE NEW FOUNDATIONS OF EVOLUTION: On the Tree of Life. Jan Sapp. xx + 425 pp. Oxford University Press, 2009. $99 cloth, $39.95 paper.
Published in the year of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, The New Foundations of Evolution is concerned with a topic that is decidedly non-Darwinian: the evolution of microorganisms and the structure of the universal tree of life. This is not really surprising, given that the author is Jan Sapp, an eminent historian of science at York University in Toronto whose previous books have challenged the accepted paradigms of biology. His first, published in 1987, was titled Beyond the Gene: Cytoplasmic Inheritance and the Struggle for Authority in Genetics, and he has written several others on such topics as the history of symbiosis and the evolution of evolutionary thought. Like these others before it, Sapp's latest book is both penetrating and paradigm-shifting.
In the first half of the book, Sapp presents a thorough history of microbiology and microbial evolutionary biology from the 1600s to the middle of the 20th century. This sets the scene for the second half of the book, in which he recounts the compelling story of the efforts of Carl Woese, a microbiologist at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, to construct a universal tree of life using ribosomal RNA sequences. Woese, by constructing his tree, which divided life into three primary lineages or domains—archaea, bacteria and eukarya—rather than the traditional five kingdoms (plants, animals, fungi, protists and monera), and by abolishing the venerable prokaryote-eukaryote dichotomy (to Woese the term prokaryote was inappropriate and misleading), shook the very foundations of evolutionary thought. Sapp's account here is often riveting as he tells how Woese gathered evidence to support the tree, forged a successful collaboration with Otto Kandler of Germany, and encountered resistance from prominent scientists and scientific journals.
But, wait, you might say; what about that earlier statement that microbial evolution is non-Darwinian? Didn't Darwin discover the natural process by which all life evolves, in which natural selection acts on heritable variation within populations? How could any form of evolution, microbial or otherwise, be an exception to this rule? How could anything lie outside Darwin's overarching evolutionary mechanism?
In the preface to The New Foundations of Evolution, Sapp writes that "to come to grips with microbial evolution is to reconsider much of classical biology's understanding of the processes of evolution, its imagery, methods, and doctrines." That's because Darwinism and the Modern Synthesis traditionally have focused on the origins of species of animals and plants, Sapp explains, whereas microbial evolutionary biology probes the earliest origins of life itself. It is largely concerned with "the evolution that occurred before organisms as we know them appeared." It looks at such problems as how the cell and its parts evolved, and how the genetic code might have arisen. Furthermore, he writes, "transfers of genes, of gene clusters, and of whole genomes between distantly related taxonomic groups [through horizontal gene transfer and symbiosis] are fundamental processes in microbial evolution." And they are processes that lie outside the Darwinian scheme, which assumes gradual, incremental change.
As Sapp reveals, microbes have always been problematic for evolutionary biologists. From the very beginning, microbes were not considered appropriate for evolutionary study. Discovered by Antony van Leeuwenhoek (1632–1723), microorganisms (including protists) were initially all lumped together in a group called the "infusoria." Darwin himself, interested primarily in the origin of species, ignored these inhabitants of the invisible world because it was not clear to him (just as it is not clear to us now) whether bacteria even existed as distinct species. When the Modern Synthesis was forged in the 1930s and 1940s, bacteria again were left out. They were thought to dwell in a murky, Lamarckian world outside the Darwinian realm. Now, in our age of comparative genomics, we know that bacteria and archaea can swap genes through horizontal gene transfer, and they apparently have done so extensively in the past. Thus the pesky microbes may once again be causing trouble, this time threatening to turn Woese's nicely branching tree into a web of interconnecting lines.
But the saving grace—the redeeming feature—of the tree that Woese built is this: It is based on the analysis of not just any nucleic acid, but of 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA). And 16S rRNA is a component of one of the subunits of the ribosome, a highly complex structure involved in the translation of messenger RNA into protein. It lies at the core of the cell's information-processing system, where it has direct and indirect interactions with myriad other proteins and RNAs. Its gene is thus a highly unlikely candidate for a horizontal transfer event.
As Sapp explains, in the early 1970s Woese very deliberately chose to use ribosomal RNA in his comparative analysis. This was a brilliant (and extremely lucky) decision on his part. We now know that there are only about 50 genes that lie at the universal informational core of organisms and thus would be appropriate for constructing a tree. Because Woese chose to base his tree on rRNA, it has, at least in terms of its major branches, withstood the test of time.
In the 1990s, University of Colorado biologist Norman Pace dramatically expanded the tree by including 16S rRNA sequences obtained directly from microorganisms in environmental samples. He did this by developing a method that circumvented the need to establish cultures. The universal phylogenetic tree that Pace published in 1997 is reproduced at right.
There are still difficulties in rooting the tree, and in pinpointing when the last universal common ancestor lived and what it looked like, but many scientists who once expressed doubts about the tree now by and large accept its broad outlines. This comes through clearly in a 2005 book edited by Sapp—Microbial Phylogeny and Evolution: Concepts and Controversies, which contains chapters written by some of the earlier skeptics. Whereas The New Foundations of Evolution gives a history of microbiology and tells the story of the discovery of the universal tree, Microbial Phylogeny and Evolution answers the question, How do things stand now regarding the universal tree of life? What one sees is broad acceptance by many, with some debate over the details.
It is nonetheless true that many biologists still believe in a dichotomous prokaryote-eukaryote division of life in which there are prokaryotes on one hand (bacteria and archaea, both of which lack a distinct nucleus) and eukaryotes on the other. Moreover, for many, the gut bacterium Escherichia coli still serves as the prototype for all prokaryotes. Sapp discusses this whole debate, describing the twists and turns it has taken over the years.
Ernst Mayr (1904–2005), an icon of evolutionary biology, was one of a number of scientists who vigorously opposed Woese's (and Norman Pace's) suggestion that the catch-all term "prokaryote" be banned from biology. Woese and Pace had made this suggestion based on 16S rRNA analysis and the fact that a number of other cellular features also differentiate archaea from bacteria: their cell-wall structure and transfer RNA structure, the fact that archaean RNA polymerases resemble those of eukaryotes more than those of bacteria, the presence of unique lipids in their cell membranes, and the presence of introns in their genes. But to Mayr, evolution was "an affair of phenotypes," and the purpose of taxonomy was to serve as "an information storage and retrieval system." For Mayr, a taxonomic system (a tree, if you will) that was based on molecular phylogenetics and thus ignored the huge morphological differences between prokaryotes and eukaryotes was nonsensical. But Woese argued that the primary aim of taxonomy from the time of Darwin has been to "encapsulate descent," and that doing so—in this case by constructing a 16S rRNA tree—would automatically take care of information storage and retrieval. This disagreement between Mayr and Woese was a battle between titans over the very foundation of evolutionary biology.
Sapp expertly describes this debate and others, and thereby brings alive the dynamism at the heart of one of the most significant revolutions in the history of biology.
W. Malcolm Byrnes is associate professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Howard University College of Medicine. His research is concerned with the structure and function of archaeal and bacterial metabolic enzymes. He currently is working on a book applying concepts from evolutionary and developmental biology and ecology to issues in bioethics and Christian theology.

Randle looked good.
The way he plays his style is similar to Hakeem Nicks just the way he catches the ball & route running.
New York Giants Superbowl XXI, XXV, XLII, XLVI Champions!!!!!
that 'praise' he was getting wasn't exactly glowing.
"i'll have to see the rest of the game to see what that was all about....."
sounds like a head coach who's happy with his play but wants to keep a fire under his ***.
the announcers even admitted that he's still not running option routes right now.
so i hope he keeps contributing like this, but lets not make it seem like these rumors we were hearing weren't true.
I'm telling ya, ELI can make anyone look good! I mean, kudos to Rueben Randle, but this guy(eli) is putting up big games with guys dating back to Plax, Toom, Hixon, S.Smith(hasen't done squat since leaving eli), Nicks, Mario, Cruz, Boss(hasen't done squat since leaving ELI), Bennett(didn't do squat in dallas), Barden...etc
I'm not saying they all are super consistent at all, but hes had a monster game with those guys at some point.. Meaning either a 100plus yrd game, a couple tds in same game, or a bunch of catches, or mixtures of the 3... I dont know if were flat out genius's with getting wideouts or TE's of lower value and turning em into very qualtiy players, or ELI and our pass protection are the reason.. This is getting nuts!!!lol
He played against a suspect secondary and did what he should have done, caught some balls. That said, I would like to see him replicate this in another game, not sure when that chance will appear again for him!
He's a rookie, give him some time to develop his NFL talents! He'll be solid for us, and has a very high ceiling.
keep it going Randle....it has started for you now its up to you stay the course....
"Measure Twice......Cut Once"
You couldn't be more full of **** if you were break dancing in a Port-a-Potty.......Kruunch
I wouldnt call it hate. Randle is just a better player imo. Plus it has taken 4 years for Ramses to show anything. Randle was on his 5th game. And I'm not even sure how many he was actually active for.
Give him a pat on the back. Some good catches with guys all over him. Yeah 1 bad drop, but who hasn't had those. Concerns? Yeah a couple. Not a lot of separation against a rookie, and more body catches than hand catches. I see way more upside. Good game speed experience. It will only get better IMO.

JDSU, CIEN, FNSR: Lack of Carrier Committment Gives Pause, Says Lazard
Lazard Capital Markets's Ian Ing today started coverage of fiber optic component and equipment suppliers JDS Uniphase (JDSU), Finisar (FNSR), and Ciena (CIEN) withNeutral ratings, writing that overall spending on fiber optic infrastructure is being held back by uncertainties about the global economy and by interoperability issues with existing telecom gear.
Ing goes down the list of problems for vendors:
We believe expectations for broader and imminent material global deployments (including core/metro NA) could be hindered by legacy network interoperability, SP demand management (lower QoS, no unlimited) and carrier stinginess pending breakthrough, future-proofed solutions to video bandwidth.
Ing says his talks with carriers suggest they are sending out requests to Ciena and others to see if the vendors can supply required gear, but at the same time, "forecasts have yet to translate to firm orders."
Ing like's Ciena's technology and its ability to capitalize on fiber optic links being lit up at 40 gigabits per second or 100 gigabits per second.
However, he is reluctant to recommend the shares as long as carriers are also buying other stuff to manage what they've already got, and until he sees some improvement in Ciena's profit margin, which has been under pressure of late.
As for JDS and Finisar, both companies need to demonstrate they can achieve the kinds of profit margin that competitor Avago Technologies (AVGO):
For component vendors, we believe AVGO sets the bar on margins through a mix of proprietary optics and selective MSA (commodity) participation. We look for signs of FNSR's and JDSU's ability to replicate such a model,
helped by low-cost volume manufacturing given the WuXi C2H13 ramp and supply chain efficiencies.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|WOW!!! You said firm and hard!
|4 Jaw Chuck
|I guess HD thinks the average rider needs the extra protection from possible paint damage more than stellar braking power. The Harleys I've driven all have had less than eyeball popping braking power (the newer ones are much improved). Since most are cruised not raced it might not matter anyway and having the calipers out in the air stream probably keeps them from boiling the fluid. Some people like the spongy brake feel actually and say to me that hard brakes don't have a proper feel that is easily modulated? Beats me?, I like-em firm and hard myself. This is beginning to sound like a dirty movie!
|Well 4 Jaw was right, never having owned a jap bike I decided to do a little ridin' today. It just happened to be a beautiful day here in Jersey. Of course it didn't take me long to find a few guys on some Hondas. I checked and their master cylinders were marked DOT4 only. Also found a BMW bike also marked DOT4 only. Now I know this topic has kind of gone off in an odd direction but know I really don't understand why Harley uses DOT5. From what almost everyone has said on this topic I would think DOT4 would be the way to go but they (Harley) didn't. Maybe there is no answer to why, just put whatever the stupid manufacter calls for in.
|4 Jaw Chuck
Only Harley Davidson uses DOT 5, all the other makes use DOT 5.1. It might say DOT 5 on the cover but remember the European MFG don't recognize silicone fluid so they mean DOT 5.1. Don't make the mistake of confusing them, it really is a stupid convention you would think they could have adopted a designation like DOT 6 ?
Wait! how stupid of me, that would be logical and make sense. I have to stop using my head for these things.
|That's an interesting qustion by Phat, I don't really know but I'll take some guesses. The first thing it says in my Harley Davidson sevice manual is never use anything but denatured alcohol to clean system components, any normal mineral based cleaners are a definate no-no. Which I think means if you're switching over a DOT4 system to a DOT5 cleaning and replacing almost everything is critical. Any old chemial or cleaning agents in that system will cause trouble. That might explain why a new system built clean that never had anything but DOT5 in it would be less trouble. My bike is 11 years old with DOT5 fluid in it, so I know Harleys been using DOT5 for at least that long. One other observation I made is the reservoir covers on my bike are both screwed and sealed tight to the reservoirs. This might allow less air to penetrate the system. I think PAULWELDIT mentioned DOT5 absorbs air. The last thing you want on a 100hp two wheeler is bad brakes and all they use is DOT5. Go figure?
|Now this aint a trick question.. i really dont know the answer.Why do all the new bikes use it??? I really dont know.!! Have they figured out something or????
In the early 80's the US Postal Service was one of the first vehicle fleets to ban use of asbestos brake linings. With the replacement brake parts manufactures, knowing that in short few years the manufacture of asbestos brake was to be ban by law,the Postal became one of the "test beds" for the soon to be required "non-abestos" linings.About the sametime it also took on the use of "DOT 5" brake fluid.Unfortuantely the brake failures & maintenance increased about 75-80%.Every thing from leaks, to loss of pedal. A carrier would call in Saying he had "no brake pedal". By the time the vehicle was towed in and the next day or so we got to check it out, the brakes would be fine.Closer investigation reveal Silicone fluid the culprit, not the originally accused "Non- asbestos" linigs.
It's a "DOUBLE DAMN"--in the case of a Postal carrier or as PHAT said a race car driver's repeated use of the brake was double trouble.Silicone fluid does not absorb water but it does absorb "air"and the brake system being vented the more the pedal was used the more the fluid became "aerated" so the pedal became "spongy" or even went away completely. After the vehicle set for awhile and all the air bubbles disappeared the brakes were fine. The "Double Damn" was that when the air got into the fliud,the tiny bubbles created were very "abrasive"which lead to failure of master & wheel cylinder rubber parts & their bores(especially aluminum M.C.'s).Silicone brake fliud is also affected by altitude and as stated by many brake part manufactures & Chysler Corp. for one: "Warranty Void if DOT 5 fliud is used". "What's" a little"bubbled" paint when DOT 3&4 fliuds are in less question and probably "Safer". Paulweldit
[ April 13, 2002: Message edited by: PAULWELDIT ]

On my home built Model A I used DOT 5 silicone brake fluid from the beginning. I have not had any problems with the braking system in the five years it has been on the road.
I am using a Mustang non-power master cylinder, GM front disc calipers with a Midland booster, GM drum rear, and have an adjustable proportioning valve in the rear line.
I will admit, it doesn't have the "throw you through the front windshield" feel that you get in a new car. Mostly because the Midland booster isn't doing much, running a prety high lift cam, there isn't much vacuum available.
|I really did not mean to say pressure ...i guess i meant to say travel.If you have driven with dot 5 you will know what i mean.Your leg will get really tired quick with all the pumping your doing.You are correct it is like stepping on marshmellows. Sorry but i dont splain stuff so good.
|4 Jaw Chuck
When I used DOT 5 it did not cause higher pedal pressure only a mushy feel because it is slightly more compressible than DOT 3 or 4. With the mechanical advantage at the pedal it becomes very noticeable.
Higher pedal pressure could be caused by the coagulation of DOT 3/4 and DOT 5 if the systems were no properly diassembled and cleaned with alcohol to remove the last traces of the incompatible fluid.
Despite what they teach you in school liquids are compressible, but the amount is miniscule compared to gases.
|somebody needs to explain why dot 5 requires more brake pedal force than dot 3 or 4. One would think that all hydraulic fluids would compress the same therefore reqiuring the same pedal force.
Dot 5 should in my opinion not be used on anything(not even your john deer lawn tractor).It does not work in a race car.Just ask the guy that was in front of me all nite on the local short track(he did not have much rear bumper left )I have fixed many brake problems on rods also by simply removing the dot 5 . I have heard a few success stories using Dot 5 mostly from some of the SCCA vette boys but most of them payed to have there work done and i suspect they were getting 4 and paying for 5.. I have allways used the Castrol GTX dot 4 product and have no problems.(nope i dont work for them) If you mix dot 3 with 4 it lowers the boiling point.The boiling point on Dot 4 comes down to what Dot 3 is in a matter of months so if you dont do the bleed and flush deal every year there is probably no great gains in using Dot 4. The pedal pressure alone would stop me from every using Dot 5 again.If you ever had to drive down into a corner in the triple digits and pushed on the middle pedal with dot 5 you would never use it again. LOL Its great selling point is it does not eat paint. Well a little tip ...dont put it on the paint Now this is a real tip ...not kidding.Buy brake fluid in small containers(no swap meet crap,or gallon jugs)After you break the seal and use it toss the rest out.If its on the shelf for a few months its not worth putting in your car. I could go on and on about Dot 5 as i was sponsered by a company that makes the stuff ,but we could just not get the stuff to work.Brakes would hang up on a 50 lap race.You would have to stand on the brake pedal to get it slightly slowed down.We finally kept the stuff in the hauler but would make sure the brakes were bleed at the shop(were no one saw we were not using the product) I am no engineer but it wont get used in this shop again.
[ April 10, 2002: Message edited by: Phat ]

|You know I kind of figured that, just how it was writen. I'm just a sucker for detail sometimes. I just have to assume that there are some out there reading this that have never even seen a brake pad and are just now learning. It can get confusing with the different types and like I said I've mixed DOT4 in many DOT3 systems. Oh well off to work I go!
|4 Jaw Chuck
Thats not what I meant, DOT 3 or 4 mix together just fine and are interchangeable with DOT 5.1, these are all glycol based fluids with different temperature ratings and viscosities.
You can't mix DOT 3,4,5.1 (glycol) with DOT 5 (silicone) you will get a jelly, give it a try and see for yourself.
[ April 09, 2002: Message edited by: 4 Jaw Chuck ]

|This is for 4 Jaw Chuck, just wondering about you saying (never mix fluids of different DOT classifications). I know you can't put DOT3 into a DOT4 system because DOT4 is rated higher. It would be like putting type F trans fluid in a new car calling for MerconV. But I have a bottle of Castrol GTLMA brake fluid in front of me. It says right on it 'exceeds DOT3 and DOT4 specifications and mixes with both'. It's more expensive so we don't generally use it unless the system calls for DOT4 but sometimes if we're out of DOT3 at our station we'll use the DOT4 until we get more from parts dept. It says right on the bottle mixes with all conventional brake fluids (DOT3 & 4). Yes if you add DOT4 to DOT3 you are lowering the boiling point of the DOT4, but if the system only requires DOT3 you're still ahead of the game.

By the time it got to the anthropomorphic bunnies acting out a sit-com to a laugh track (or are they donkeys? subscribe to www.davidlynch.com to learn more), I knew that Inland Empire was David Lynch at his most seductive and a film I'd be thinking about for a lot more than the rest of the afternoon. And this was after only about five minutes. Three hours later, after Lynch had reprised and reconfigured themes, motifs, images, and obsessions from Eraserhead onward while at the same time questioning and vindicating the validity of narrative, identity, dreams, and "The Locomotion," I was pretty sure this film was on a par with Mulholland Drive and maybe even Blue Velvet. Some might suggest he's going over the same terrain, but if so, it's a world that is bottomless and inexhaustible.
As in Mulholland Drive, the initial premise involves an actress seeking a role. Unlike the aspiring ingénue played by Naomi Watts in Drive, though, Laura Dern's Nikki has been around the block a few times and is looking for a comeback. She's jubilant when she gets the starring role in a kind of pseudo–Tennessee Williams potboiler directed by the unctuous Kingsley (Jeremy Irons) playing opposite Devon (Justin Theroux), a sleazy womanizer. Even the innuendos of a gossipy talk-show host (here the film seems about to take a For Your Consideration tack) can't dim her enthusiasm. But the weird warnings of Grace Zabriskie's pop-eyed Polish "neighbor" (neighbors are seldom a good omen in a Lynch film) set her up for more role playing than she'd bargained for.
That bare plot line doesn't last long as the story doubles back on itself at least three times and the characters — mostly played by Dern — shed and regrow identities. By the end, the notion of chronological or any kind of conventional order — everybody has trouble with such basic terms as "before" and "after" — has been laid to waste. In its place is a bewildering but beautiful cinematic fugue.
Employing digital video, Lynch exercises unprecedented narrative freedom — he seems to have shot the film and written the script simultaneously. What's lost is his trademark lush visual elegance. Much of the film was shot in the grimy byways of Lódz in Poland (which might account for the hint of Kieslowskian synchronicity), and Lynch's usual bright palette is here almost monochromatic. He uses superimpositions and dissolves for a palimpsest-like effect, unveiling deeper layers of beguiling ambiguity. But his most characteristic device is the tracking shot following Dern as she wanders corridors, climbs stairways, and opens doors into stranger and stranger rooms.
There aren't too many images you take home with you. But Laura Dern's face is enough. She triumphs in the role of a lifetime. Several lifetimes, in fact, as her character metamorphoses with every story within a story and dream within a dream. For the nuances she brings to the expression of perplexity alone, her performance ranks as one of the best of the year. She's as an ideal guide to the most cryptic — and rewarding — film that's come out since the last time Lynch invited us into his empire.

The Real Allure of H-Town
Four Seasons Hotel Houston • Houston, TX
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two in a Deluxe Room
- Sunday Brunch for Two at Quattro
Is there a city more suited to the postcard treatment than Houston? The biggest city in Texas boasts three separate skylines featuring buildings by a who's who of architectural stars—from IM Pei, who dreamt up the city's tallest tower, to glass expert Philip Johnson. And there are few better perches for skyscraper-gazing than a room at the AAA Five Diamond Four Seasons Hotel Houston, situated in the heart of the city's downtown.
Besides a spacious room (400 square feet!), sleekly elegant furnishings, and a plush, down-covered king-size bed, you'll enjoy plenty of little luxuries—from the ultra-thick robes and slippers and aromatic L'Occitane toiletries to free Internet and twice-a-day housekeeping service. Take advantage of the city's year-round warmth and sunny skies (the temperature rarely dips below 65 degrees) at the hotel's gorgeous, recently renovated pool, where you'll be set up with a cushy lounge chair under the shade of palm and live oak trees. Forget your sunscreen? No problem, you'll find a complimentary supply. And, of course, the spa offers a variety of massages, body treatments, and Clarins facials.
The skyline is enviable, but there's plenty more eye candy at street level. Houston's longtime reserves of oil money have turned it into an arts hub—the only city with more theater seats is Manhattan. Take in a marquee show at the turreted, Tony-winning Alley Theatre, or check out something cutting-edge and contemporary at the newer Black Lab Theatre.

Pasta sauce
How do I pull the acidity from a homemade tomato sauce? I have heard to add sugar, are there any alternatives?

Re: Pasta sauce
I always add sugar (white or brown it doesnt matter) But I only add a heaped tablespoon to a 5 litre batch... you dont seem to need much.

Re: Pasta sauce
You can also use a bit of Ketchup, Splenda if you do not want to use sugar, and if you are using fresh tomatoes, try de-seeding them also...

Re: Pasta sauce
You might also try this:
Put a tiny pinch--and I do mean very tiny--of baking soda in the sauce. This will neutralize some of that acid. Make sure it is a small bit as too much will ruin the sauce.

Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by 10J, Aug 11, 2010.
Which pairs besides Gordeeva and Grinkov have landed clean quad twists in competition?
Obertas/Slavnov landed it at 2005 Worlds, but it wasn't too clean:
Dan Zhang & Hao Zhang performed one. I don't remember where or when, though.
Marina Cherkasova & Sergei Shakhrai reportedly did it at the 1977 Europeans but the footage I have starts mid-way through the LP. They tried it at 1978 Europeans and Worlds but bother were under-rotated. However I have this clip which I uploaded a while ago which is from a documentary on soviet skating and shows a fully rotated quad twist which they performed at the 1977/78 USSR Nationals in Vilnius. It's a two-footed catch by him but this is the cleanest one I ever saw them do. It's at 0:43....
They did it at 2001 or 2002 Junior Worlds IIRC.
I seem to recall they did a quad twist at Junior Worlds (and won the title... so 2001, I think?). I don't recall hearing about them doing one in senior ranks though.
Didn't a pair in the 70's do a quint twist?
Wasn't that Cherkasova and Shakhrai? I never saw an actual program from them, but I thought I read it somewhere. They look so funny in pics because of the huge size difference haha.
I remember physically that they looked funny together. But I must have been mistaken - Wikipedia states that they were the first to do the quad twist - nothing about a quint. I find nothing about any skaters ever doing a quint.
It might have been the quad twist I read.. it was a long time ago.
My understanding is they were the first couple to do it.
I don't claim to know everything about skating but I feel really certain that no one has ever done a quint ANYTHING!
1987 worlds pairs: long program
Carman & Knierim
But it was back when she was tiny.
Just as G&G ditched the quad twist after Katia grew a bit.
floskate shared this:
1977-78 Marina Cherkasova & Sergei Shakhrai - Rotated Quad twist and Triple Toeloops
I thought Katia said they ditched it because it took so much energy for so little return from the judges in the marks. Many of them thought it was a triple.
^ I also remember this. They were going to get the same marks with a Quad Twist if they executed a perfect easier routine, so they went for the perfect routine since this was the Holy Grail of 6.0 skating.
I found it highly coincidental that they stopped using it when they did.
I believe she did say that, but I don't recall whether it was in her book or whether it was from an interview.
It was also true their quad looked a lot better when she was littler and lighter.
Did they ever attempt it after the 1986-87 season? That's the only year I know of when they did it.
Don't think so. AFAIK, Gordeeva & Grinkov attempted the quad twist 3 times in international competition in 1986-87 -- in the free skates at 1986 Skate Canada, 1987 Europeans, and 1987 Worlds.

...but Amitraz found in pollen the last few years indicates illegal use...by the beekeepers who's pollen was sampled.
If Dan Rather were practicing journalism, this would be part of his story. He is not....he is presenting a story to an eager public that wants to hear about evil corporations.

- Almonds are a $4 billion dollar-a-year industry (as I said),
- California Wine is a $20 billion dollar-a-year industry (as I said), and apparently
- Grapes must be something more than $4 billion dollar-a-year industry.
You said in you first post:
You also said:
Dan Rather reported that this was an "agricultural disaster", but the last part of you post above raves about how almonds are outpacing other crops:
So there we have what 4 or 5 instances of sensationalism, inconsistencies, lies, and fallacies in your posts? I don't know because I lost count on page 1.
As somebody said earlier in this thread: sensationalism and presenting false data is not the way to solve a problem.
Honey Badger Don't Care ಠ_ಠ ~=[,,_,,]:3
I use Apivar (Amitraz) quite a bit so I've got one piece of advice. It does not kill the mites outright, rather it paralyses them. If they get enough of a dose they fall off the bees and over a few days, starve to death. The downside of this somewhat round about way to kill mites, is that some of them hang on long enough to get back into a brood cell and lay eggs. So it can take several brood cycles to get nearly all mites.
If you want good success with Apivar, be sure to use enough, (two strips per brood box, ie, 4 strips in a 2 brood box hive), and leave it in for 10 weeks. At ten weeks, according to the manufacturer, the strips are still giving off 1/2 as much Amitraz as when new, which is still enough to do the business with the mites.
I might do a thread on this once people start using it.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Mark, the contention I posted above is the opposite of what I've said here and on the other thread. When I tried to bring up the offlabel use (especially of Amiztraz), no one (including you) was willing to address itl
...never answered, never commented on.Now, if we want to talk about being honest and forthcoming, can I assume that since we don't read about offlabel use of Amitraz by commercial beekeepers that none of the commercial beekeepers who participate in this forum were using Amitraz at all while it was not permitted? What standards of full disclosure are being expected of whom?
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
I remember that, and there was no way you were going to get a reply. Anybody innocent of it would have nothing to say, and anybody guilty of it would have nothing to say.
But hey, Amitraz in it's properly designed slow release form suitable for bees (Apivar) is a great, non residual product. If there has been a lot of illegal use in the form of fast release not bee appropriate forms, this may mean there could be resistance. Sad if that's the case.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
Mark appears to have discussed this with his "fellow commercial beekeepers".
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
Are you saying that beekeepers are such a politically powerful group that they don't need to get any messages out to the public?
I have to admit that while I've always wanted to keep bees, one of the factors that made me decide to actually do it was the sensationalized coverage of CCD. I would think that as a person who wrote a book encouraging neophytes to keep bees without chemical inputs (excellent book, by the way-- I have it on Kindle) you would see the value of publicizing the fact that many beekeepers are having a tough time keeping their businesses going, despite the widespread use of miticides and other treaments. Even if they are incorrect about the reason for their difficulties, surely there is some value in letting the public know that these difficulties exist.
Maybe I'm wrong.
You are missing the point. Why are these beekeepers being paid $200/hive for 2 weeks of pollination? Here is a hint....you are likely to get paid to go somewhere and to do something that you wouldn't want to do otherwise....if the job is in a dangerous war zone, the pay is likely pretty good. So far, no one has offered to pay me to go to Disneyland. What paradise do beekeepers who send their bees to the almonds expect?I would think that as a person who wrote a book encouraging neophytes to keep bees without chemical inputs (excellent book, by the way-- I have it on Kindle) you would see the value of publicizing the fact that many beekeepers are having a tough time keeping their businesses going, despite the widespread use of miticides and other treaments.
The issue with the Amitraz is important...it shows that in fact, that the LACK of an illegal miticide seems to have caused real damage...that none of the things that the "industry" publicly tells the non-commercial beekeepers will work seem to be working for the part of the industry that is talking to Dan Rather....what has been working is something other than what the industry has been willing to admit they were using.
It would be like someone telling the media that their financial success came from the stock market, when in fact they were selling crack to make their money. The take home message would be, "work hard and trust the market and you will come out ahead", when the real message is, "sell crack and don't get caught....and definitely don't admit it."
Not if the message is to take action that won't solve the problem....diverting attention from things that actually are causing problems.Even if they are incorrect about the reason for their difficulties, surely there is some value in letting the public know that these difficulties exist.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
OK well some of this is speculation leading to more speculation. As I've been a party to a little of this direction of the discussion I want to disassociate myself from some of the last few posts, to law abiding beeks this could be pretty offensive.
When varroa arrived in my country 13 years ago, the government looked at what was being done in other countries, and discovered mite resistance was occurring because the governments would sometimes allow only a narrow range of treatments, meaning they got use over & over, till they didn't work. Other treatment types that were not available, could only be used illegally in a form not designed for bees, also leading to resistance. So what happened here as a matter of deliberate policy, was a wide range of treatment types were approved for use, allowing rotation and less over exposure. In the main this has worked, although one area of the country now has Apistan resistant mites, because of a group of beekeepers there who used Apistan only, twice a year, every year, till it didn't work.
So, in an ideal world, we don't treat. But if we have to treat, in my opinion Apivar (Amitraz, and not to be confused with Api Life Var), is a fairly friendly option. There is pretty much no method of mite treatment though, that does not have some side effect. Amitraz has in an experiment, appeared to shorten bees memories. Not that I've ever seen a noticeable effect on the performance of a hive.
Yes closer to the time I'll do a thread on it in the diseases section.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
It seemed to me that the main value of the Rather piece was to put human faces on those who are in trouble.
Am I understanding you correctly that you think a better story would be that the beekeepers are doing it to themselves? That might be true. I've been researching neonicotinoids, and there are treatment free beekeepers in the middle of corn country who are doing fine. That story, however might be a harder sell. But it could be coming. Outliers in a disaster are always interesting to journalists, and at some point they may discover this stuff.
When I read The Beekeeper's Lament, about migratory beekeeper John Miller, I was astonished to see that the journalist who wrote it had no idea that it was even possible to keep bees alive without treatment.
I think its rather ironic that not a single beekeeper from the U.S. posting on Beesource seems to know anything about Amitraz. Speculation, perhaps...but it simply isn't believable that no one knows anything.
From: http://www.aphis.usda.gov/plant_heal...vey_Report.pdf
...metabolite of Amitraz found in almost 30% of hives tested? ...in 2011 when the use of Amitraz was illegal?Thymol and 2, 4 Dimethylphenyl (a metabolite of Amitraz), both detected in 27.3% of
the samples...
...at an average of 100ppb levels?
...this was pollen collected from brood comb (not trapped pollen).Alabama, California, Colorado,
Florida, Idaho, Indiana, New York, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin.
We received 99 samples from these states
If we extrapolate this data to show the prevelence of things stuffed into the hive by the beekeeper, we see Fluvalinate, Coumaphos as the most prevelent, and thymol and Amitraz tying for third. Of the 4 of these, one wasn't legal to use in any form in beehives in the U.S. in 2011.
As I said before, Amitraz was in short supply this past year....I've heard rumors that some commercials couldn't get the stuff, and it was their treatment of choice.
Of course this isn't every commercial or every migratory commercial....but I don't believe for a moment that the commercial beekeepers on this list don't know about it.
Let's hear some details.

How residual is Thymol in a hive Dean?
I used it for the first ever time this year and have been wondering.
"Thinking Inside The Box"
As far as addressing offlabel use, what would you have me say? I have already written that beekeepers want to be treated the same as other farmers.
Mark Berninghausen
Bill Petch told us that as a bookbinder, the paste from the gluepot would always turn moldy. Every bookbinder has a tin of thymol crystals next to the glue pot. A single crystal dropped in the pot (with tweezers), would stink up the room (well, probably a better stink than the glue pot without the thymol), and the paste would never mold.
I've never used it.
Sometimes the lights all shining on me
Other times I can barely see. -The Grateful Dead
Do you know any beekeepers who take or send bees to almonds in CA? Have you talked to them?
I can't say that I know what they expect, other than to get paid for good strong colonies. I know what some of them find when they get their bees back. One friend who sent 5 loads to CA has all of his hives back and is making splits from them. Some of which have enuf bees and brood to take two nucs out of and leave a colony which will be ready for apples in NY or Blueberrys in ME. That's a guy, actually three guys, here in SC.
Another person I am "FRIEND"s w/ on Facebook is from WA and he is finding them in similar good shape.
This is not uncommon from what I have heard and seen over the past 5 or 6 years, so, whether they expect this sort of outcome or not, they prepare to take advantage of this sort of result.
But, maybe you were thinking of something else?
Mark Berninghausen
You certainly don't have to...that's your business.
...required to follow label requirements?I have already written that beekeepers want to be treated the same as other farmers.

Drive By Voting
Posted 03 May 2004 - 04:38 PM
Posted 03 May 2004 - 07:48 PM
I would hope people submitting to POTW think the photo they have just submitted is the very best of their work (that week), so will have done some heavy filtering anyway. If they have other work they can submit it under the other categories.
This would suggest the average for POTW should be higher than average so a 6-9 range would be the expected voting range. A few review groups require comments to be given if you want to rate an image outside the 6-8 range.
Personally I tend not to vote on photos I think are less than a 5 - because to get less than that I am really looking at a shapshot, which has at less one major defect (subject blurred, no subject, etc), and if people want to put that up for review without having done a review of the basics themselves...
People have put out undeservingly low marks without comments, and I think any mark outside -/+2 of the average should be dropped if it has no comment with it.
Where people have made an effort to capture a moment, I always try to put what could have made it into a 9.
Please note on the above I don't get a chance each week to look at all the photos, or provide as many reviews as I would like.
I think not enabling the people who submit to POTW to comment only, would be the way to go.
Posted 06 May 2004 - 02:40 PM
My problem wasn't with only getting a 6 for my photos, it was the fact that I had two scores of 6 by the same person who never commented on how I could improve on it. Like a lot of people seem to be saying (and I agree) - we come on here to get constructive feedback on how to improve.
I tend to give my ratings based on all other pictures I have seen on other sites. If I have seen better ones of the same subject matter I will mark down a little bit.
Personally I have become a bit sick of voting now (due to people questioning me giving a mark of 7 even though I have given a reason for it, and they go and give it a 9 and say nothing is wrong with it).
I agree that maybe there should be a panel of judges or maybe just leave it down to the opinion of the owner of the site - Mark. From looking at his photos, I would certainly respect his vote/opinion on what he thinks is a winning picture.
The other option would perhaps to be like I said before - make the scoring anonymous, but still allow people to make comments. This would hopefully then rule out:
- 'revenge' voting.
- marking higher than usual as someone gave it a low mark.
- people being swayed by others votes. i.e. if 4 people all gave a 9, you would be tempted to give it a 9 as well.

I'm currently looking at something along the lines of the contests over at http://www.fredmiranda.com, where Fred selects the best X number of entries from the week (in his humble opinion), and then sets up a Poll where everyone can vote for their favourite - therefore you would effectively only get one vote.
So it would be a 2-stage process. I would pick my favourites and create a Poll here on the forum, and you would have a certain number of days in which to vote for the overall winner.
This will only work if:
i) you all trust my judgement and don't question it too much
ii) you all take the time to vote for the overall winner
I may also introduce a weekly theme, rather than it being an open contest, and also add some prizes.
The Monthly Competition will stay as it is.
You will still be able to rate photos and leave comments on the main Gallery, where you can choose to ignore them if you want to!
How does that sound?

If you're setting yourself up as the judge, though, you'll want to make it crystal clear that you're not going to respond to any emails that question your judgement. Your decisions must be absolutely carved in stone unless very impressive bribes are tendered.
Under the Mark-is-the-Judge concept, I think the theme / assignment idea is necessary; that way, your own biases for subject matter won't get in the way; in addition, having a theme will encourage (force?) people to broaden their photographic horizons.
I for one, will defer to your judgement(s).
L-series lenses would make great prizes, y'know. Okay, okay, never mind.

There is a certain satisfying anarchy about the whole thing. And it seems quite popular since the drive by voting began, but perhaps thats just my perception.
I know that these things get abused and there is tactical voting, but its all part of the fun.
However, if there is to be a prize then it will have to change.
Posted 13 May 2004 - 12:15 PM
-People can submit unrate crits.
-All Register users get 2 votes a week. One for POTW and a runner up. (other than their own photos, of course)
-They can change there choices during the week as new images are submitted.
-All votes are private
-The winner is the one with the most POTW votes, ties are decided by the most 2nd place votes, then Mark.
This way Mark is not placed in the position of having to chose between different style or themes of photos.
I am not in favour of a theme, simply because it reduces this to a cull of the archive. I love the fact (like this week) a fantastic photo taken a hour ago can be put and shared - rather than waiting for a bugs week.
PhotoFridays themed weekly contest works along similar lines. But the theme mean I cannot photo every week. We have recently had a huge leap in the number of people submitting images for POTW.
No prizes please, let keep this for fun, else we will attract the pros. Even something real simple like a star against the wining image would be enough.
Posted 13 May 2004 - 03:15 PM
When a theme is set, people tend to stretch the limits of what the theme is anyway, and end up submitting anything that is only slightly related. I think there would end up being arguments about that too
Posted 13 May 2004 - 06:30 PM
Posted 14 May 2004 - 01:22 AM
Posted 21 May 2004 - 02:10 AM
Just a counterpoint, themes tend to make me more photo productive. I recently started submitting to Photo Friday, but not because it's a contest. I like the fact that every week there's a new reason to shoot something and that someone else told me what I have to shoot. It gets the juices flowing.
That said, I just submitted my first POTW submission and really liked the fact that I had an outlet for a recent image I thought was fun.
Anyway, I think the problem with POTW is that it's not fun/easy enough to view/vote. A smaller set of pics, announced just after the end of the contest, with a simple yes/no voting scheme should fix that.

There have been some significant changes to the way in which the Photo of the Week contest which affect how the contest is judged. The following rules have been added:
11. The overall winner of the contest will then be voted for by you. A Public Poll will be setup on the PhotographyBLOG Forums and you will have 7 days during which you can vote for your favourite photo from the ones that I have chosen. The Poll will then be closed and the overall winner announced.

Patriots lose to Cardinals in OT
The Pequot Lakes Patriots couldn't hold a 29-21 halftime lead in a 61-58 Mid-State Conference overtime loss to Staples-Motley on Friday, Jan. 4.
The Patriots, 4-6 overall, were scheduled to host three straight games - Crosby-Ironton on Tuesday, Jan. 8, Grand Rapids on Thursday, Jan. 10, and Brainerd on Monday, Jan. 14.
"We had too many turnovers to win a game like this," said Pequot Lakes coach Garry Grewe, whose squad committed 10 turnovers early in the second half as the Cardinals rallied. "We certainly didn't get many calls to go our way, and both (Jordan) Redmond and (Brett) Peterson got in foul trouble."
The Patriots took an early 15-12 lead after baskets by Keegan Johnson and Redmond. Pequot Lakes then grabbed the halftime lead on three baskets each by Redmond and Travis Jacobson.
S-M started the second half with a 10-0 run, and got the lead back at 31-29 on Kyle Jansson's three-point basket. Redmond's three-point play put the Patriots back on top, but the senior then picked up his fourth foul with 11:36 still left in the half. Two minutes later, Peterson was whistled for his fourth foul, and Pequot Lakes was in trouble despite leading.
The Patriots assumed a 51-47 lead late in the second half after a jumper by John Craig and a layup by Wes Mumm. The Cardinals took advantage of turnovers to take a 52-51 lead on a 3-point shot by Seth Auger.
Peterson's free throw tied it in the final seconds to send the game into overtime. S-M took a 56-54 lead in the extra session when Brian Huber tipped in a rebound. A pair of free throws by Jansson gave the Cardinals a four-point lead, but in the final minute Jacobson had a basket and Redmond nailed two free throws to tie 58-58 with 27 seconds left.
Huber got loose for a layup with 17 ticks remaining to give S-M a 60-58 lead. Jalen Busker added a free throw with 2.8 seconds left after Redmond fouled out and the Cardinals came away winners. Redmond and Jacobson each had 19 points while Busker had 21 to lead S-M.

Packers Training Camp Report 7-31-14
INJURY REPORT: A day after missing the majority of practice with an ankle injury, safety Morgan Burnett was out Thursday and not participating. The safety group was thin as undrafted free agent Tanner Miller also was out with an ankle injury. DE Jerely Worthy (back), DT Letroy Guion (hamstring), WR Jeff Janis (illness) have not gotten on the field for training camp and continue to be out. The one player who was able to return for the first time Thursday was OLB/DE Nick Perry. Perry participated in drill work and team periods, and Mike McCarthy says there are no restrictions on him or Mike Neal, who returned yesterday. Guard T.J. Lang (shoulder) worked with the first team offensive line after being limited the past few days.
Practice: The first thing that was evident upon arrival Thursday was the appearance of real NFL referees, including the infamous Ed Hochuli. Every year there are new rules, or current rules that will be emphasized more, and players had the chance to interact with officials today on those things. Word around the league is defense holding and grabbing of the wide receiver's jersey will be a penalty called more frequently and watched closer this season. There were plenty of flags on the field during team sessions. New Packers WR Gerrard Sheppard at practice, a day after being claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Ravens. The offensive and defensive lines battled in the always entertaining and energetic "half-line drill" Thursday. Both lines work on running the ball and stuffing the run, leading to a lot of collisions and chatter among players. CB Casey Hayward has looked great in his return from hamstring issues last year, but he was the victim of two great offensive plays Thursday. First Jordy Nelson hauled in a 50 yard pass from Aaron Rodgers by going up over Hayward for the contested catch. Then later in practice, Scott Tolzien launched deep down the left sideline and got out-leaped by WR Alex Gillett for a big gain. There's been a lot of talk about safeties Micah Hyde and Ha Ha Clinton-Dix competing for reps in the secondary, but Sean Richardson has also stood out with the only two interceptions of the group in camp, including one off a tipped pass deflected by Davon House Thursday.
What's next? The Packers return to practice Friday at 8:20 a.m.

Quick entry to discuss a problem I have experienced lately on my Fedora 12 laptop. As I came back from a short vacation, I updated my fedora installation and downloaded a bunch of stuff, including a Google Chromium update.
When I tried to run Chromium, SELinux displayed an error an locked the browser, which would not start. Basically, the error message goes like this:
"The chromium-browse application attempted to load
/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libmedia.so which requires text relocation. This is a
potential security problem. Most libraries do not need this permission.
Libraries are sometimes coded incorrectly and request this permission."
I tried a few things with SELinux policies, as I read disabling it was not recommended unless completely necessary (it really is not and you should follow this recommendation, as you have many other internet browsing options, starting with Firefox).
In my case, I was unable to find a policy that would fix this problem, so after a bit of google searching, I found that this issue had been filed as a bug and acknowledged as such by developers. In fact, they proposed a working workaround. From a terminal, run the following command, which will likely require admin access:
chcon -t textrel_shlib_t '/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libmedia.so'
Once you complete that step, you should be able to open Chromium again. You may still see the SELinux error message, though.
A long term solution is in the works and will probably come in the next SELinux update.
Hope this helps!

PV Generation Potential for May and June
The PV Power Map is a report of national solar resource availability as illustrated by the monthly energy output of a nominal 1-kilowatt (kW) photovoltaic (PV) system by location. The May and June maps illustrate the Great Lakes dampening effect commonly seen in warmer months. By dampening cloud formation, the Great Lakes' cold water results in greater solar potential than other regions, such as the Eastern seaboard.

Re: Getting an Xbox One.[ Edited ]
Then you have the PS2. The PS2 took everything that the PS1 did right and made it better.
With the PS3, the biggest challenge was getting the high grade hardware down to a reasonable price. By time the PS3 was released, the Xbox 360 was already having trouble with the Red Rings of Death. Then you had the newly developed Blu-Ray that was very expensive at the time. With HD-DVD and Blu-Ray going head to head, the CELL processor being so very expensive to produce and difficult to program for, and then you have Nintendo with their motion sensing on top of it all with XBL proving to be a reliable online gaming service, the PS3 was just to much money for not enough innovation on the experience side of things.
With the PS4, there isn't a whole lot new with either system. Wii-U has been out for a year but has really struggled to even get crawling. Microsoft has very clearly betrayed their customers and they have lost a lot of money because of it. Over the last month, Microsoft's stock value has dropped $3 (almost 10%). Most of this drop can be accounted for solely in the loss of support and trust that their fans had in them over the Xbox One. They were expecting to see E3 pick things back up for the console, but instead it only made things worse.
On the other hand, Sony's stock has gone up about 10% over the last month. This is really a big jump for Sony, especially considering the conversion rate from Japanese ¥ (Yen) to US Dollars. This increase is largely because people are seeing that the Playstation 4 really is for the gamer.
Re: Getting an Xbox One.
These two companies together (much more so on the side of Nintendo) brought the video game industry back from the crash of 1984.
Because of the massive amount of low quality games that caused the crash, the companies needed to ensure that the games they put out were high quality and this made both of them be very untrusting of third party publishers.

He's right give Microsoft credit for being good competition
I already gave credit that the 360 brought good competition, along with Sony learning from their past PS3 mistakes... Because of those two factors (Stiff competition/PS3 Failure's) Sony is making all the right decisions for their PS4.
Now it's time for Microsoft to learn from their mistakes, and lose this coming Gen, because that's the only way we all will get better competition. It's also the only way Microsoft will try to do better with their next console after the Xbone.
If Microsoft were to succeed and Sony fail, then I know it would be horrible for every console gamer... Sony can't take another failure, while Microsoft can easily afford to learn from all the Xbone failures so far. Without Sony in the game for future competition, Microsoft wouldn't ever change anything for the better, unless it's for their benefit, not ours.
This is another example as the reason why I'm backing Sony 100% this coming Gen = I believe Sony NEEDS our support far more than Microsoft does. Microsoft needs to learn, and bring out a system far better than the Xbone next time.

i would think that consoles would probably get a little slimmer. xbox one took ten steps back with its size
Microsoft went cheap on the Xbone design, and tech by going with DDR3 RAM, and then using 32MB of eSRAM to bring up the bandwidth. They didn't start working on the Xbone project until 2010 (Sony/Cerny PS4 started in 2007), and it shows. I bet Don Mattrick cut a lot of corners so he can package his baby project (Kinect) with every system, and still make a profit at $500.
Re: Getting an Xbox One.
Been an XBOX fan for 5 years. Now I am ready for a change. I pre-ordered and paid off the PS4, Killzone Shadow Fall and Call of Duty Ghosts. Titanfall will be on Playstation eventually (if you have spent any time reading things on the net). I switched from Microsoft to Playsation because I really don't trust them as a company any more. Who is to say they wont institute the same horrible things again? If you are going to say "They can't do that" then you really did not read the EULA you signed when you joined XBOX Live. I am pretty psyched about Killzone myself.

Current Available Data
Please note: Range maps of special concern species are now available!
Georgia Rare Species and Natural Community Data
Rare Species Locations
Disclaimer for Use of Rare Species Location Data
Please keep in mind the limitations of our database. The data collected by the Nongame Conservation Section comes from a variety of sources, including museum and herbarium records, literature, and reports from individuals and organizations, as well as field surveys by our staff biologists. In most cases the information is not the result of a recent on-site survey by our staff. Many areas of Georgia have never been surveyed thoroughly.
The Nongame Conservation Section can only occasionally provide definitive information on the presence or absence of rare species in a given area. Our files are updated constantly as new information is received. Thus, information provided by our program represents the existing data in our files on the date indicated on these pages and should not be considered a final statement on the species or area under consideration.
Current Available Data
Please note: Range maps of special concern species are now available!
Known rare species and natural community EOs (element occurrences) generalized to the county, quarter quad, huc8 and huc10 level are provided here in several formats. These include clickable maps, kmz (compressed Google Earth files) and downloadable CSV spreadsheet/database tabular files. Also provided are the ESRI Shapefile GIS index files (overlay layers) used to generate the data. Please see the next section below for help with using these data sets.
CLICK ON THIS LINK to try our NEW ELEMENT LISTS "DRAFT" with configurable EO lists updated with data exported from Biotics March 2017 or later.
(The CVS files were updated from our database on March 18, 2016. All other files were updated on December 27, 2014)
Help With Using Data Above
The following tutorials use the csv file, qq_eos.csv, and the shapefile index, qq.shp, from the above available quarter quad data. Procedures using the county and watershed data should be very similar to the procedures using quarter quad data demonstrated here. The tutorials attempt to demonstrate the following three GIS procedures using different methods and software but accomplishing the same end results.
GIS Software Used for Tutorials
Fewer EOs for a Given Location Over Time
Several people have noticed that rare species that previously were reported for certain counties, quarter quads or HUC watersheds are no longer reported for these areas in our currently provided data. This is primarily because newly revised boundaries of EOs, using better data, are almost always smaller when they don't have as much uncertainty distance added in. These revised EO boundaries will then intersect fewer counties, quarter quads or HUC watersheds than they did previously. To a smaller degree, attrition is due to misidentified specimens and taxonomic changes.
Difference Between Known and Potential Element Ranges:
These lists are for rare species and natural communities that are KNOWN to occur within a given area and for which we have records of the locations in our databases. They should not be confused with lists of POTENTIAL elements for a given area. Potential lists are distributed by our office, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and others. Potential elements lists include both those elements that are known to occur within a given area and those whose theoretical range intersects the area of interest and may show up within the region as more surveys are conducted.

The drought drove corn prices up while product demand supports our milk price.
by Amanda Smith, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
There are three simple truths when it comes to the milk market, noted Mike North, a senior hedge consultant with First Capitol Ag, at the ABA National Agricultural Bankers Conference. We are producing a highly perishable product in a volatile market that is incredibly sensitive (a small change can have a significant overall impact).
Class III prices spend the majority of their time between $11 and $13. A very small amount of time is spent with Class III prices nearing or greater than $20. "We have gotten to these market highs because of the drought this year. End-user supply concerns drove the market," noted North.
"Many dairymen want feed prices to drop back down. They want soybean meal prices less than $500 and corn under $4 to $5 per bushel. What they don't see though is that when the corn market makes its highs, the milk market is often doing the same," said North. "It's a necessary relationship."
The lack of rain through the Midwest not only caused a spike in corn prices, it led to a similar rise in milk price. These markets move hand-in-hand: When feed prices drop, producers need to be prepared for a concurrent drop in milk price. "Prices were not solely fueled by the U.S. drought. A drought throughout South America is pushing corn prices higher. If we experience another drought in the U.S. though it could be Armageddon.
Dairy cow slaughter, noted North, is up a bit but is not that far outside of what is considered normal. It is up, yes, but we have a massive replacement population we can lean into. Even with a rise in slaughter numbers, compare to 2009 averages for milk cows on farm, we are still ahead by 100,000. Additionally, even with September ration changes as new feeds were harvested, milk per cow remains high.
Product determines our milk prices, North went on to add. In 2009, the world did not want what we were producing and prices held at $9. Today, the market is holding at a high level. Whey is the second biggest factor in our Class III prices and the product that is holding the market up. Whey demand is part of the reason prices could average $18 next year.
One note North did make was that if we go to a supply system, we will shut ourselves out of the export market. Similar to the U.S., Canadian dairy prices ebb and flow, too. Every time they are in a low cycle, the industry contracts. At this point in time, Canada has lost more dairymen than the U.S. Producers who don't want to manage risk will not be in the market long; they must attend to risk.

"Leave your name, leave your number, leave me the f#$k alone." :lol:
"My cell phone in China was on the wall just out of reach of my hand thru the bars."
Smart a$$ :D
What I got now is a flip phone, and I know what you mean about only needing the phone and not all the other features, but the way phones are now your very limited to what you can get. Most places (around here) only offer one flip phone now, just about all they offer is smart phones, and to me they're too big and bulky.
I use it more at work to talk to co-workers then at home, if it wasn't for needing it at work I don't think I'd even have a cell phone.
Well the search will continue, hopefully I'll get time to stop in one of those places that handle multiple providers (like Best Buy) to get a better idea what plans are available from as many places as possible.

Vol Hoops Central: Ole Miss
Jan. 27, 2014
TENNESSEE vs. OLE MISS
Jan. 29, 2014 | 8 p.m. ET
Thompson-Boling Arena | Knoxville, Tenn.
- According to ESPN's InsideRPI, Tennessee is one of three SEC teams boasting top-10 status in overall "strength of schedule. Alabama is rated second, Kentucky is seventh and UT is 10th.
- In SEC play, Tennessee owns the league's best rebounding defense (29.8 rapg) and rebounding margin (+10.0 rpg). Ole Miss and Tennessee each average exactly 14.0 offensive rebounds per game in league play (T-3rd).
- In his only previous visit to Thompson-Boling Arena (1/9/13), Ole Miss sharpshooter Marshall Henderson scored 32 points to lead the Rebels to their first win in Knoxville since 1991.
- Jordan McRae (18.5 ppg) and Marshall Henderson (18.7 ppg) combine to average 37.2 ppg this season. That's more than half the total scoring offense of 242 Division I teams.
- Vols senior Jordan McRae averages 17.8 ppg in four career games vs. Ole Miss. He scored 26 points in each meeting last season.
- In two career games vs. Ole Miss, Vols forward Jeronne Maymon is 9-of-13 (.692) from the field, 11-of-15 (.733) from the foul line and averages 14.5 points and 14.0 rebounds.
- UT's starting frontcourt of Jarnell Stokes (80) and Jeronne Maymon (70) have combined for 150 offensive rebounds this season (7.89 orpg).
- Vols junior Jarnell Stokes ranks sixth nationally in offensive rebounding, with 4.21 orpg.
LAST TIME vs. OLE MISS...
- Tennessee led for much of the game, but No. 23 Ole Miss scored nine of the final 12 points to pull out a 62-56 victory Jan. 24, 2013, in Oxford, Miss.
- The Vols posted a season-high 19 assists (on 28 baskets).
- The SEC's top two scorers dueled it out, with Ole Miss' Marshall Henderson scoring 24 of of his game-high 28 points in the second half. Tennessee's Jordan McRae tied his then-career-high with 26 points for the third time in six games.
- With the game tied at 53 with just over four minutes left, Henderson knocked down on a 3-pointer to put the Rebels up 56-53. Then Ole Miss converted a UT turnover in a fastbreak layup by Reginald Buckner with 3:40 left giving Ole Miss a 58-53 lead.
- McRae tied his previous career-high on a 3-pointer with 3:15 left, making it 58-56 Ole Miss. He had a chance to tie the game with 2:32 left, but missed a pair of free throws. Tennessee could have tied the game again with 1:01 left after McRae drew and offensive foul, but Armani Moore missed two more free throws.
- The Vols led 25-18 at halftime, limiting the Rebels to their fewest points in any half this season (the previous low was 29). Tennessee's defense held Ole Miss to just 4-of-23 from the floor for 17.4 percent. Henderson was limited to four points, all on free throws. He was 0-of-4 from the floor.
- UT outrebounded the Rebels 26-15 in the first half and outscored Ole Miss 16-4 in the paint.
McRAE, HENDERSON WERE ROOMIES
- Tennessee's Jordan McRae and Ole Miss' Marshall Henderson were roommates at the 2013 Kevin Durant Academy in Washington, D.C., this past June.
- McRae told reporters over the summer: "He's one of the most normal guys I've ever met, surprisingly. (He wasn't) jumping around the room. He's just normal. I was laying on the bed on my phone, and he walked in. Everybody, even myself, when I'm off the court, I'm totally different (from) when I'm on. That's just a part of it."
- Sophomore guard Armani Moore logged just 14 total minutes of court time in the seven contests leading up to Tennessee's Jan. 18 game at Kentucky (including four DNPs).
- But in UT's last three games, Moore is averaging 17.0 minutes off the bench, and he is the Vols' fourth-leading scorer during that span (5.0 ppg).
- In those three games, the Kennesaw, Ga., native is shooting 50 percent overall, and he is a perfect 4-for-4 at the free-throw line. He also has four blocked shots.
- Moore earned his increased role via his toughness and physical style of play.
- Brandon Wharton scored 20 points, Rashard Lee added 17 and 10 rebounds, Isiah Victor poured in 16 points and C.J. Black totaled 15 and 13 rebounds as UT upset the 11th-ranked Rebels 77-67 in Knoxville on Jan. 17, 1998.
- Gene Tormohlen grabbed 31 rebounds at Ole Miss on Feb. 11, 1957, to lift UT to a 98-88 win in Oxford. The 31 boards still stand as the second-best single-game effort in school history.
- Carlus Groves went 11-for-12 (.917) from the floor, the fourth-best single-game average in UT annals, against the Rebels to lift Tennessee to a 98-86 win in Knoxville on Feb. 19, 1992.
- Jeronne Maymon grabbed an incredible 10 offensive rebounds as part of an 11-point, 17-rebound effort against Ole Miss in the SEC Tournament last season in Nashville. Despite 21 points from Trae Golden and 15 from Skylar McBee, the Vols fell in overtime, 77-72.
Complete Game Notes


text: The Point Guard obsession Steve Nash, Chris Paul, Deron Williams, Derrick Rose, John Wall, Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook, Ty Lawson, Stephen Curry. I am sure everyone recognises those names and so they should as they are some of the best point guards the NBA currently has. Zero!! That is the number of championship rings that they all have combined. Now I am not here to tell you that you shouldn't want any of those players, that would be a stupid argument. But what I am here to argue is whether you need a superstar PG to lead you to an NBA championship. Sure you can always say that injuries or crooked NBA referees have been the main reasons why none of those guys have an NBA championship but the fact still remains the majority of NBA championships are not won by teams that are led by their PG. Almost all of those players are the unquestioned best player and leaders of their teams with perhaps Russell Westbrook being the exception. (Steve Nash was in his Phoenix days) Here are a few of other names for you to consider - Rajon Rondo, Tony Parker, Chauncey Billups, Derek Fisher, Mario Chalmers. 11 NBA championships between them if my maths is correct. And you can make a very strong argument that none of them were the unquestioned leaders of their teams. Important pieces sure but are those the names you first think of when you think of those teams championship years? I would bet the names James, Wade, Duncan, O'Neal, Bryant, Wallace, Garnett, Pierce are the ones that come to mind first. So with that being said doesn't it seem strange to any of you that the NBA is obsessed with the next great point guard when so few of them actually win you an NBA title. And last time I checked wasn't winning the NBA title what it is all about? Just take a look at the last 4 teams left in this years playoffs. San Antonio is the only one with a point guard who is likely a household name. This isn't about not having a good point guard, a winning team needs a good point guard to guide the squad around the court, but it certainly isn't the be all and end all. If the Pistons want to get back to the NBA championship they are going to get there on the mighty shoulders of Andre Drummond. If you can get a great PG great, go for it. But don't build your franchise on it.

Well my ears perked-up with the article in Bee Source on using coconut oil ,but there was no infomation on how to apply it. Has anybody the information ?
I saw that article also and was very curious if it works. Anybody have any first hand experience with this type of oil?
do you use it for bathing purposes? (insert winky winky icon)
I am interested also about coconut oil. But am a little hesitant with information as such coming from a beekeeper who lost 15 hives to afb, and they progressed to the point that all actually died from afb. Thats real hard to do.
(He) also mentions crisco oil as a natural treatment. I assume he speaks of v-mites, and would question he efforts in this treatment and possible confusion in application and treatment methods.
He also does not state how long he has used coconut oil. So did he start out with new equipment, new bees, and how long have they survived with just his coconut oil.
He mentions that maybe this coconut oil will kill afb. So I assume that having lost his bees once to afb, that other known successful management techniques were not, and are not, used. That his sole reasoning for not having afb again is now attributed to coconut oil.
The article lacks details, but makes certain claims. Simple details that would clear or explain simple connections are lacking.
Of couse starting out again, perhaps with better hygienic bees he could of ordered unknowingly, or the fact that enough time did not pass to show symptoms, or a ton of other issues that could play a part is not given.
For a beekeeper to decide he knows enough to go "natural" and use only crisco patties and sugar with garlic, in some attempt to keep bees, and then know so little as to actually lose 15 hives to afb, not by burning but by having them progress so far as to actually die from the desease, is mind boggling.
I'll check out the coconut oil. Others claim all kinds of success with "oils". I checked them out, and I might as well check this out too. Just wish a little more details were available.
I have also heard the same claim, almost line for line, in using olive oil. Are they closely similar? Anyone use olive oil while were on the subject?
Thanks B-B my sentiments also BUT they still laugh at chicken soup , my favorate in sickbed.
I actuall tried a soy version of crisco....I figured if crisco was bad for us it might not be so great for the bees. It mixed up real well but don't let it get warm as it gets liquidy fast. I'll let everyone know how it turns out. I have also opted for essential oils instead of apigard.....one thing I know for sure is that their wings are in great shape, and they built up super fast this spring. So far I have looked for mites and have not seen but a couple. The verdict is still out until at least spring.
Finaly got an ansver . Use just like crisco melting point to soft is about 75 deg
I tried to look up a tel# in whitepages.com but could not come up with one. I was going to make a call and ask about particulars.
Soy or vegetable oil, hydrogenated; there isnt much difference. The reason crisco is bad is its a hydrogenated oil, a trans fat. Same is true with hydrogenated anything, be it soy or any other oil.

Upper Saddle River man charged in drug death of Ramsey teen
A 44-year-old Upper Saddle River man has been charged with maintaining a large-scale drug manufacturing business out of his home and with causing the drug-overdose death of a Ramsey teen.
Darius Ghahary has been charged with strict liability for a drug-induced death and manslaughter in connection with the death of Daniel Lajterman, 19, who was found dead at his family's home Sunday from an apparent heroin overdose, officials said.
Before his death, Lajterman purchased various drugs from Ghahary, including a substance he believed to be heroin but was instead a "poly-drug substance" Ghahary had mixed himself, officials said. The mix may have contained fentanyl, a synthetic opiate painkiller 80 times more potent than morphine, according to the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office.
Lajterman was a 2013 graduate of Ramsey High School, where he played football with Ghahary's son.
Lajterman was attending Bergen Community College, according to his online obituary.
Reached Friday afternoon at the family home in Ramsey, Lajterman's mother, Linda, said the family was still grieving and was not prepared to comment.
"The only comment we have is that we are very appreciative of all the efforts of the police department," Linda Lajterman said.
Ghahary was arrested at his house on Feb. 24; he was also charged with maintaining a drug manufacturing facility and distribution of heroin.
On Monday and Tuesday, investigators searched Ghahary's house and several storage facilities; they found large quantities of substances including fentanyl, oxycodone, Xanax, Adderall, Hydromorphone, synthetic THC, steroids, Molly (MDMA), marijuana and others, in both powder and pill form, according to the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office.
The investigation is ongoing, the prosecutor's office said, noting: "It is believed that Ghahary has been peddling his illicit drugs to numerous young adults in the Northern Bergen County area."
Ghahary's daughter, Alynn, was charged with hindering apprehension and tampering with evidence.
