"First set of mitts"
I bought these gloves a season or two ago when trying to find a better set of gloves to keep my fingers warm. The liners are great but the shell already has some holes in it. I mostly just use the shells themselves and leave the liners in my pocket in case it gets really cold, but for socal weather the shells do more than enough even when it's snowing. The liners give a rather tight fit when wearing them under the shells, but nothing worth worrying about. I got these on sale so I'm not worried too much but I would prefer a more durable glove.

A Birder's Handbook
Two naturalists pen a portable guide to Maine's feathered favorites.
Authors Jeffrey V. Wells and Allison Childs Wells expanded a "top ten birds" list featured in this magazine in the September 2011 issue into a full book, Maine's Favorite Birds (Tilbury House, Gardiner, Maine; paperback; 72 pages; $15 ) with beautiful illustrations by Evan Barbour. No novelty, this a true field guide for all ages, focusing on how to identify those birds especially loved by Mainers and nature-loving visitors to the state.
With this comprehensive, portable little book, you'll be able to tell a song sparrow from a chipping sparrow, pick out what gulls species are begging for your picnic scraps, and confirm that tufted titmouse at your feeder. The guide also features a comprehensive page on field marks, a section on notable birding "hot spots" throughout the state, and ways bird lovers can contribute to bird science and conservation. No matter what your birding abilities are, this book will help you better learn and appreciate the birds you discover throughout Maine. — Kristen Lindquist

So.. I happen to have this relatively developed idea, but I hate the idea of even trying to start to write it down into a story or maybe even a shitty trial for a book. Why? Because I know it'll suck. I just do. I can't write in detail, that's my problem. If I try to write something, I just can't make it longer. I don't know how to describe something, I simply can't. It is impossible to me to write more than 2 pages on a certain event like a battle or something, whereas books have over 10 pages going on about the same thing, which is what makes a book or a story go for long enough.
When I write, it's like one of those undeveloped ideas a kid writes down when trying to write; "She got killed." instead of "The assassin's blade ripped its way deep into the layers of her skin. As she gave the murderer a last cold stare and one gentle touch on his arm, falls of blood covered her chest and made their way down to her bare feet." Yeah, I can't write 10 pages about something. I just don't fit into casual-advanced, where all the expert and yet so full of themselves writers are. x_x Help me?
So here goes nothing, I suppose.
There's this planetary system in a distant galaxy that has 5 planets and no star. The planets are, named after some of Jupiter's moons, Adrastea, Analthea, Lysithea, Ananke and Praxima. Here is the information on each of the planets and finally some information about the plot.
That would be what I had in mind for each of the planets, yeah. Now, story plot? I haven't got much except that there is this new ruler coming along, that decides she wants to go closer to Praxima herself (why do I even say "herself"..? I haven't even got gender settled yet rofl) and check shit out. She comes back from the secret mission and nobody knows what happened there, but she comes back with a twisted mind. She starts to want to make changes here and there on Adrastea, she wants to free the Analthea creatures from the spores and see what happens, she wants to change the way Adrasteans act and think and make them more compassionate (although they hardly know the meaning of the word "compassion", so she will have to explain such an unimaginable concept to them and why it's different and/or better). She also wants to run more expirements on Ananke and implant suitable gases for Adrastean life on it, cut a couple of trees and shit and populate it. I am assuming something will go on including Lysithea as well, although I have no plan at all for it yet.
The reason for such a huge diversity on these planets? I haven't got the slightest idea, and neither do the Adrastean scientists. So.. leaving the part where I will probably never write this out of incapability, impatience and low self-esteem when it comes to my writing skills out, what do you think about my idea? Is it mainstream? I haven't struggled much on avoiding that notion but I still hope the story looks nicer than most space fantasy craps out there, as I put a bit of effort in making it. ^^ Anyway, thank you so trippin' much if you were that bored to read the whole shit. Go ahead, tell me what you think! PS: I could also use some opinions on the *s I have on Adrastea.

OP, as the article says,...the [Obama] administration was aware of his [Petraeus´s] outreach to Romney officials and were "unhappy."
Yes, it does. Interrupted while reading, I missed that when I came back and posted.Nice to find someone reading the articles posted!
Quite a mistake for an expert tactician and strategist.
One of the first victims of the administration´s pay-back.
This is just the start of Vallery Jarretts "revenge".
Turns out Petraeus might be a bit of a weasel.....Let´s hope not. America wants the truth....LZK
After reading the article, it appears that Patraeus might be the same kind of general as Colin Powell...."what´s in it for me AND how does it affect my image and my career?" are the first thoughts passing through his brain. It comes from too much time in the fevered, testosterone laden place called the Pentagon. Another writer this week called them the Pentagon Princes...and in some cases it is too true.
I still don´t see how it was to Obama´s advantage to expose Petraeus? What does the good general have to lose by telling the truth at this point? His career is over for good. Does he not think he owes something to those dead men? Why stay loyal to Mr. Smarmy.
O&Co and their lapdog media are now busy dismantling Petraeus so that, they hope, his testimony is greeted with skepticism or even disbelief.Based on what I see on threads here, it is working.
DP finds himself in the same boat with Johnny Roberts, i.e., beholden to 0´s Chicago thug machine because of closeted skeletons. Don´t forget, this election was lost the day JR decided the wrong way on universal freecare.
Notice how Colin Powell endorsed Obama shortly before election. He will probably end up head of the CIA. If not there, I expect he will be rewarded for his sucking up. All of these upper crust insiders are nothing but a bunch of egotists concerned only about themselves.America has seen it´s better days.
When Petraeus was a cadet at West Point , he began dating and then became engaged tothe Superintendent´s daughter.You cannot imagine how advantageous that was to his career.My opinion of Petraeus has been severely tarnished by the events of late.He seems to have forgotten Duty, Honor , Country by associating with the guy whobelieves in " doody on our country " .
Pretty discouraging to think that people appointed to control and protect our lives aren´t even in control of their own lives. Sooner or later this crash and burn approach Obie uses to destroy his useful idiots is going to catch up with him.

The Obama administration is currently considering which policy priorities they will act on before the 2012 election season swings into high gear. There is a brief, critical window of opportunity to ensure that public access to the results of federally funded research is one of those priorities. On May 21, a petition calling for Public Access to Federally Funded Research Results was posted on the White House's "We the People" website. If the petition garners 25,000 signatures within 30 days, it will be reviewed by White House staff and considered for action. Please show your support for this policy and sign the petition.
Why Open Access? Funders invest in research in order to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery, encourage innovation, enrich education, and stimulate the economy – to improve the public good. They recognize that broad access to the results of research is an essential component of the research process itself. Research advances only through sharing of results, and the value of an investment in research is only maximized through wide use of its results. Yet, too often, research results are not available to the broadest community of potential users. The Internet provides a new opportunity to bring information to a wider audience at virtually no marginal cost, and allow them to use it in new, innovative ways. This has resulted in a call for new framework to allow research results to be more easily accessed and used—a call for Open Access. You can also watch a brief video put together by the Association of Research Libraries (of which Stony Brook is a member) that explains the current cost and access barriers to published scientific research.
What is Open Access? Open Access means the free, immediate, availability on the public Internet of those works which scholars give to the world without expectation of payment – permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search or link to the full text of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software or use them for any other lawful purpose.

You know it makes sense.
yep i've heard of him alot from my grandfather who is of west indian heritage who says he was extremely fast, was sent home from a tour to india in the late 1950's , used to have a run from the boundary at sabina park & was extremely ignorant fast bowler & man who beat his wife later in life.
Also mentions the interesting fact that if he could have gone to Australia during that famous 60-61 series he & Wes Hall could killed Australia. Good old gramps
I had a few beers with him in the mid 90's.

Smart Signage
The message on Camden's crosswalks is not just cheery; it's smart.
If you were in Camden this summer, you may have noticed that something was missing — the smile-provoking messages on the village crosswalks that instruct pedestrians to: STOP. WAIT. WAVE.
The signage, which was painted on the road surface at both ends of the crossings, disappeared in June when Main Street was repaved, so the thousands of tourists who visited this midcoast town this past summer crossed the street via some very ordinary crosswalks.
For those who mourned the loss of the signage, we have good news: The messages are coming back this fall, along with some spiffy new faux brick-and-granite crosswalks.
We don't know if Camden's signage is unique, but it is unusual enough that photographs of it can be found at numerous Internet travel and photosharing sites. On his Web site, author Daniel S. Pink asserts that the crossings are not merely charming small-town artifacts, but a "great example of emotionally intelligent signage."
"First," writes Pink, "the mere presence of that surprising third word might make walkers more likely to comply with the first two words. Second, by encouraging the walker to wave, he now has to interpret the intersection from the point of view of a driver who might not see him. Third, when the walker waves, she now has to reckon with not some anonymous schmo bolting across the street, but with a sentient (and apparently friendly) human being whom it would be a shame to mow down."
David Allen, the Maine Department of Transportation traffic engineer who oversees safety and efficiency of the midcoast region's highway system, concurs. "I love them," he says. "Crosswalk laws in Maine give pedestrians the right of way, but they can't just jump out in front of a car that is moving and doesn't have time to stop. The reality is, even if the obligation is on the driver, when there's a conflict between driver and pedestrian, the pedestrian loses every time. Everyone wants a safe crosswalk and friendly atmosphere. It helps Camden thrive."
Allen frequently recommends that other midcoast communities consider adopting Camden's design, though so far none have done so. "It keeps everything nice and friendly," he says. "When someone waves at you, it's hard to grumble. It adds to the friendly nature of Maine."
Earth To Bethel
Long before there were satellite classrooms, there was Telstar.
The western mountain town of Bethel is home to what is surely the most unusually named public school in Maine: Telstar Regional Middle and High School, located on Route 26.
If you're over fifty, the name may have a familiar ring: Telstar was a group of satellites launched in the 1960s — marvels of communication that sent telephone calls and live transatlantic television pictures through space for the first time. As it happens, those groundbreaking transmissions to England and France were relayed from tiny Andover, Bethel's neighbor.
Telstar! The name symbolized the cutting edge — the birth of the space age! — to the students and faculty who walked through the doors of their brand-new school in 1968. What, we mused recently, does it say to students who travel the world on the Internet and who are in constant touch by cell phone? Do today's Telstar students even know what Telstar was?
Indeed they do, reports principal Dan Hart, who says a model of the first Telstar satellite — a three-foot tall white sphere covered with solar panels — occupies a main corridor of the school. Students learn about Telstar in their freshman history class and are reminded of its significance in speeches delivered at graduation, homecoming, and winter carnival.
The school's sports teams have a mixed heritage, Hart notes. They were known as the Telstar Satellites and they had a mascot to match until the late seventies when a science teacher returned from a journey in the Deep South and successfully lobbied for a new name, the Rebels, whose logo was, unfortunately, the Confederate flag. A few years later, however, the Southern Cross was attracting controversy on the national stage, so Telstar returned to its original T star logo and adopted a new mascot, Yosemite Sam. The sports teams are still known as the Rebels.
Although they regard the satellites as somewhat quaint — "It's like the horse and buggy days to them," Hart says — students are proud of their school's name and its logo, a white capital T over a blue star. The Telstar High School sign regularly attracts passersby, who stop into the main office wanting to know the story behind the name. If Hart is there, he may offer them a listen to his vintage Telstar record album. Released by the Tornadoes in 1962, the album is named for its organ-heavy tribute to the satellite, which was a hit single in the band's native England. "We play it for the kids sometimes," Harts says, "and they joke about me having an LP."
Thumbs Out
Maine's long-distance travelers find community — and rides — on Facebook.
When the only bus service to the St. John Valley ended in the spring, residents of this northernmost section of Aroostook County were left with only one way to travel downstate: get in their cars and drive.
"It's a long and lonely trip," says Cheri Michaud, a Frenchville native who now resides in Scarborough. It takes two hours, much of it spent traveling through unpopulated areas with limited or no cell phone service, just to reach the interstate in Houlton or Sherman Mills. From there, it's another one-and-a-half hours to Bangor and three-and-a-half hours to Portland.
The distance between Michaud and her parents, who still live up north, seemed to widen when her son was born two years ago. "They like to come visit as much as possible," she says, "but it is very time consuming and it gets very expensive."
That's when she turned to Facebook. Michaud's mother had twice stumbled upon a ride south when mutual friends read about her plans on Michaud's Facebook page. "I thought it would be great if we could get other people to do this, too," says Michaud.
The Southern Maine-Northern Maine Rideshare page was born. The idea is to provide a forum for people with plans to travel north or south to post their itineraries and offer extra seats to other travelers. People seeking rides are also welcome to post. Much to Michaud's surprise, the group grew from a handful of members to more than one hundred in just a few weeks.
"I thought we'd get a dozen people or so, and maybe my mother could get down here once or twice," Michaud says, "but it went way beyond my expectations. It's a great way to save some money, be eco-friendly, and have some company."
The miles may still be long, but thanks to Facebook, the ride has definitely gotten shorter.
First Mass
Maine Jesuits celebrate a forgotten liturgical anniversary.
Students and faculty of Cheverus High School, a private, Jesuit college preparatory school in Portland, will have something additional to commemorate when they gather for prayers on All Saints' Day this year: the four hundredth anniversary of the first recorded Catholic mass in Maine.
"As far as we can tell from the documentation, it was celebrated on November 1, 1611, on Swan Island in the Kennebec River," says the Reverend William R. Campbell, Cheverus' president. Among the sources for this piece of Maine history: a letter written by the priest who said the mass, Father Pierre Biard.
Not be confused with Swans Island near Bar Harbor, the Swan Island in this story is just a stone's throw from the town of Richmond. Managed today by the state as a wildlife area, it is a gorgeous place, just four miles long and little more than half a mile wide and known for its abandoned eighteenth-century town.
Pierre Biard was one of two French Jesuits who accompanied explorer Charles de Biencourt de Saint-Just on a journey to the Maine coast from the French settlement at Port Royal, Acadia (present day Nova Scotia). In his letter to a superior in Paris, Biard writes in rich detail of arriving at the "Kinibéqui, eighty leagues from Port Royal, on the 28th of October" and of encounters with the Armouchiquois Indians. Those tentative meetings included a seventeenth-century battle of the bands, with the Indians "haranguing, singing, and dancing" on one riverbank and
the French trying to drown out those "invocations to the devil."
The date of November 1 and the Swan Island location are suggested by a handful of secondary sources, according to Father Campbell, who emphasizes that the ceremony, which is referenced in a stained glass window in Cheverus' Loyola Chapel, is the earliest recorded mass in Maine, not necessarily the first mass. The anniversary is unlikely to receive attention in Maine's Catholic churches, which celebrated the four hundredth anniversary of the first mass in the New World — on Saint Croix Island — in 2004. "This is more of a Jesuit event," Campbell says of Biard's mass, and a natural milestone for a school that still honors that brave missionary's vision.
One Mainer to Another:
"At this season, the insistent clarity of the light is the most dramatic thing in the whole pageant of seasonal change. In winter and spring, mists and fog often obliterate the view, and in summer, a light haze settles over the landscape, softening detail and blurring objects at a distance. But as autumn slips into winter, the air becomes clear as crystal." — Caskie Stinnett, One Man's Island

Warning: language.
"... ooh baby, now she's wondering how we're doing this! We're in the car behind you with a radio recorder, observing you with a hidden camera! Yea-hah!"
Whether it's true or not, New Yorkers have gained the stereotype of being rude, pushy, demonstrative, and just generally being unpleasant when they're out in public. Ed Bassmaster set out to debunk (or confirm) that stereotype.
In the words of a New Yorker (maybe?), have a nice day, a**hole!

Emberizinae (Towhees, Sparrows, and Allies)
Green-tailed Towhee,Pipilo chlorurus. (Fig. 11.50) Male length 6 3/4 in (17 cm), female length 6 1/2 in (16.75 cm); male weight 1 oz (28.9 g), female weight 7/8 oz (24.9 g). Locally common summer resident in the White-Inyo Range, from 6,200 to 10,000 ft (1,890 to 3,050 m).
Green-tailed Towhees breed in brushland in this region, occurring in greatest numbers in open pinyon with mixed brushland. High-elevation habitats of sagebrush mixed with willows and birch are visited sparingly. A particularly favorable site is sagebrush interspersed with serviceberry, currant, and scattered pinyons in a canyon bottom. Arid flats of pure sagebrush are avoided. The adults are skilled runners, moving while crouched in alleyways between the shrubs. They forage on the ground
for insects and fruit in leaf litter. Nests are placed near the ground in bushes. Adult Green-tailed Towhees decoy readily to a squeak and commonly respond with a catlike mew . Males sing from open perches in pinyon tops at approximately 20 ft (6 m) above the ground. Reference: Grinnell and Storer (1924).
Rufous-sided Towhee,Pipilo erythrophthalmus. (Fig. 11.51) Male length 7 3/4 in (20 cm), female length 7 1/2 in (19.5 cm); male weight 1 3/10 oz (37.4 g), female weight 1 3/10 oz (37.6 g). Common resident in the White-Inyo Range, recorded from 6,000 to 9,000 ft (1,830 to 2,740 m).
This species frequents dense brushy habitats along slopes and canyon bottoms in the pinyon-juniper-mahogany belt. Sagebrush and streamside growth of willow-rose-birch are particularly favored. A ground cover of litter is essential to the presence of Rufous-sided Towhees; there the species rakes up seed of herbaceous vegetation and insects by simultaneously scratching with both feet. While foraging, it stays well hidden in the dense cover of brush or riparian thickets. Nests are usually placed on or near the ground at the base of a shrub or in an otherwise concealed place. During the breeding season, males commonly sing from more exposed areas, such as branches of small pinyons, junipers, or Mountain Mahogany. Although this species is difficult to see except when singing, it will readily announce its presence by a buzzy trill, which is subordinated in this region by one or more harsh introductory notes. References: Kroodsma (1971), Davis (1960).
Chipping Sparrow,Spizella passerina. (Fig. 11.52) Male length 5 1/4 in (13 cm), female length 5 in (12.5 cm); male weight 1/2 oz (12.6 g), female weight 2/5 oz (12.1
g). Very common summer resident in the White-Inyo Range, from 7,200 to 10,400 ft (2,200 to 3,170 m).
This sparrow is very numerous in open woods of pinyon, juniper, and Mountain Mahogany. Territories are defended in areas of scattered trees, open brush, rocks and grass; heavy brush is avoided. Chipping Sparrows search the ground for small seeds and insects but will also take buds in bushes and trees, especially during the spring. The dry, harsh trill of the male is a common summertime song in this area. References: Grinnell and Storer (1924), Reynolds and Knapton (1984).
Brewer's Sparrow,Spizella breweri. (Fig. 11.53) Male length 5 1/4 in (13 cm), female length 5 in (12.5 cm); male weight 3/8 oz (11 g), female weight 3/8 oz (10.4 g). Very common summer resident in the White-Inyo region, from 6,750 to 10,300 ft (2,060 to 3,140 m).
Although the Brewer's Sparrow nests over an impressively wide elevational range in these mountains, only sagebrush is occupied. Extensive stands, such as those on the alluvial fans below the pinyon zone or those on benches and flats at high elevations, are used most commonly. Small numbers also nest in sagebrush growth in local openings of otherwise narrow canyons. This sparrow compensates for its plain plumage by emitting an elaborate song — a series of buzzes and trills given at different pitches, one of the longest vocalizations of any species in the region. Brewer's Sparrows forage
on the ground or in bushes for insects and seeds. Nests are well hidden in sagebrush tops. References: Reynolds (1981), Weathers (1983).
Black-chinned Sparrow,Spizella atrogularis. (Fig. 11.54) Male length 5 1/4 in (13 cm), female length 5 1/4 in (13 cm); male weight 3/8 oz (10.6 g), female weight 3/8 oz (10.9 g). Rare and local summer resident in the White Mountains; recorded between 6,750 and 7,000 ft (2,060 and 2,130 m).
The Black-chinned Sparrow occurs sparingly in the White Mountains, at the northern edge of the species' distribution, where it lives in a rather distinctive and characteristic habitat. Although sagebrush is usually prevalent where this sparrow breeds in eastern California, it typically requires a diverse mixture of shrubs in addition to the sage, including Rabbitbrush, Bitterbrush, and Mormon Tea. Furthermore, most records of the species are from brushland sites in varied, sloping terrain, often with jumbled rock outcrops and a scattering of pinyon and/or juniper. Males sing from either the tops of these small trees or from the tops of prominent shrubs and usually fly substantial distances between song perches. Thus, territories
are large, and pairs are widely spaced. The easiest way to detect this trim, handsome sparrow is through its distinctive song — a rapid trill introduced by three clear, sweet notes and increasing in cadence toward the end. Reference: Johnson, Bryant, and Miller (1948).
Vesper Sparrow,Poocetes gramineus. (Fig. 11.55) Male length 6 in (15 cm); female length 5 3/4 in (14.75 cm); male weight 7/8 oz (24.9 g), female weight 4/5 oz (22.7 g). Uncommon summer resident in the White-Inyo Range, from approximately 7,800 to 10,500 ft (2,380 to 3,200 m).
This species occurs in the sagebrush-grassland habitat both below and above the pinyon belt. There only small numbers can be found. Vesper Sparrows are shy birds and commonly remain undetected even when present because of their inconspicuous habits. They forage mostly on the ground, but males usually perch on prominent sage tops when delivering their advertising song. References: Kroodsma (1972), Grinnell and Storer (1924).
Black-throated Sparrow,Amphispiza bilineata. (Fig. 11.56) Male length 5 1/4 in (13 cm), female length 5 in (12.5 cm); male weight 1/2 oz (13.5 g), female weight 1/2 oz (13.2 g). Fairly common summer resident in the White-Inyo Range, occurring from the valley bottoms up to approximately 6,800 ft (2,070 m) elevation.
Black-throated Sparrows occur only in brushland on the alluvial fans on both slopes of the mountains. They generally prefer the warmer, drier areas to the south. Consequently, greatest densities are attained in the southern Shadscale zone, with the species becoming relatively scarce on the cooler sagebrush slopes to the north. The sparrows favor areas that are sparingly vegetated and where an exposed hard rock or gravel surface is evident. Seeds taken from the ground between shrubs constitute the primary food. Nests are placed on the ground in a thick cover of brush. During
the breeding season, these birds can be seen or heard singing from bush tops, and after June, postbreeding family groups filter through the brushland. This strikingly patterned species is often easy to watch and seems tamer than its somewhat plainer relative, the Sage Sparrow. References: Heckenlively (1970), Weathers (1983).
Sage Sparrow,Amphispiza belli. (Fig. 11.57) Male length 5 3/4 in (14.5 cm), female length 5 1/2 in (14 cm); male weight 3/5 oz (16.5 g), female weight 1/2 oz (14.7 g). Very common summer resident in the White-Inyo Range; occurs from the valley floors to approximately 7,500 ft (2,290 m) elevation. Postbreeding birds occur higher, to 8,500 ft (2,590 m), even in early June.
This species occurs continuously along the west-facing slope from the north end of the White Mountains to the southern portion of the Inyos. Curiously, it is rare or lacking on the east side of the mountains south of Trail Canyon. Flats and alluvial fans between 3,500 and 6,500 ft (1,067 and 1,981 m) support the greatest numbers; very high altitudes are avoided. Like its close relative the Black-throated Sparrow, the Sage Sparrow lives only in brushland, and both species commonly occur side by side in the White-Inyo Range. In the north the Sage Sparrow occupies essentially pure sagebrush, while in the south Shadscale (saltbush) is the predominant habitat. Seeds of annual plants provide the primary food source. This sparrow also uses the tops of
bushes for song posts as well as for concealed nest sites. Occasionally, several males can be heard singing from very close range. The tinkling song carries for several hundred yards unless the bird is downwind. Nesting begins in April in the south, so that fully grown juveniles abound in the saltbush scrub by June, when family groups are commonly encountered. Northern populations breed several weeks later. These birds are typically shy and difficult to approach in the open brushland; when pressed, they will fly long distances and may drop to the ground and run among the shadows below well-spaced shrubs. References: Moldenhauer and Wiens (1970), Wiens (1982).
Fox Sparrow,Passerella iliaca. (Fig. 11.58) Male length 6 1/2 in (16.75 cm), female length 6 1/2 in (16.75 cm); male weight 1 oz (29.7 g), female weight 1 oz (28.1 g). Locally common summer resident in the White Mountains, between 6,750 and 9,600 ft (2,060 and 2,930 m) elevation. Known to occur locally in the Inyo Range (Lead Canyon, 9,600 ft [2,930 m]).
Fox Sparrows breed in dense riparian thickets of willows, Water Birch, aspen saplings, and Wild Rose, especially in the deep canyons on the east side of the mountains. This habitat, shared by all Great Basin and Rocky Mountain subspecies, contrasts strikingly with the chaparral used primarily by all forms in the Sierra Nevada. In favorable streamside growth, Fox Sparrow territories are placed in a
continuous linear sequence, and two or more males are commonly heard at once. Song perches, from 5 to 15 ft (1.5 to 4.6 m) high, are typically in bush tops, which offer partial concealment by sprays of foliage. This species forages principally on the ground in leaf litter, which is kicked away by vigorous backward strokes of the legs. Insects exposed in this way are fed to the nestlings. References: Martin (1977), Martin (1979).
Song Sparrow,Melospiza melodia. (Fig. 11.59). Male length 5 3/4 oz (14.75 cm), female length 5 1/2 in (14.25 cm); male weight 3/4 oz (21.7 g), female weight 3/4 oz (20.4 g). Locally common summer resident in the White Mountains with records up to 9,600 ft (2,930 m); more numerous in Owens Valley to the west of the White-Inyo Range.
The highest elevational record for the form M. m. fisherella occurs in Cottonwood Basin in the White Mountains. There, and throughout this generally arid region, the species is restricted to canyon bottoms with thick, low cover near water. Willow and Wild Rose thickets along streams are commonly occupied. Song Sparrows forage near the water's edge or on damp ground below the willows. Males sing from exposed bush tops, usually no more than several feet above the ground. Food consists of insects and seeds taken from the ground. References: Nice (1937); Smith, Yom-Toy, and Moses (1982).
White-crowned Sparrow,Zonotrichia leucophrys. (Fig. 11.60) Male length 6 1/2 in (16.5 cm), female length 6 in. (15.5 cm); male weight 1 oz (30 g), female weight 9/10 oz (26.1 g). Common summer resident in the White Mountains, between 8,200 and 10,500 ft (2,500 and 3,200 m).
White-crowned Sparrows frequent high-altitude meadows where willow thickets, young or stunted pines, scattered aspen saplings, and wildflowers are clumped on the boggy ground. Because they favor places with running water, the headwaters of mountain streams are a good place to find the species. The adults are sleek and appear clean-cut. During the summer, they forage for insects on the damp ground, never far from cover. Nests are placed either on the ground under willows or other bushes, or a few feet above the ground in willows or small conifers. In the Subalpine Zone of the high Sierra Nevada, the volume of winter and spring snowfall drastically influences both the timing of summer breeding and the amount of space available for nesting. When the snowpack is heavy, fewer birds breed, and these individuals nest two weeks later than during normal years. Populations in the White Mountains presumably respond in a similar fashion. References: Morton (1978); Morton, Horstman, and Osborn (1972).
Dark-eyed (Oregon) Junco,Junco hyemalis. (Fig. 11.61) Male length 5 1/2 in (14.25 cm), female length 5 1/2 in (14 cm); male weight 3/5 oz (17 g), female weight 5/8 oz (18.3 g). Common summer resident in the White-Inyo Range, between 7,400 and 10,500 ft (2,260 and 3,200 m).
Gray-headed Junco,Junco caniceps. (Fig. 11.62) Male length 6 in (15.25 cm), female length 6 in (15 cm); male weight 5/8 oz (18.4 g), female weight 5/8 oz (18.8 g). Rare to relatively common summer resident in the White-Inyo Range, between 7,400 and 10,500 ft (2,260 and 3,200 m).
Because these two forms hybridize in the region, some authorities combine them into one species (Dark-eyed Junco, Junco hyemalis ). However, most individuals encountered in this area appear to be either pure parental types or very close to one species or the other; thus, we prefer to consider them as two full species. Furthermore, studies from several areas where both forms coexist have shown that each kind prefers to pair with a mate of similar appearance, further evidence that two distinct species are involved.
Juncos prefer cool and shady places where grass or forb cover provides a substrate for foraging and nesting. Thus, woodland of large pinyons on north- or east-facing slopes, riparian growth of willows and aspen, shady groves of large Mountain Mahogany, and Subalpine Forest of Bristlecone, Limber, and Lodgepole pines are all used. Openings in these habitats are favored. Most activities are concentrated on or near the ground. There juncos take insects and seeds and commonly conceal their nests under overhanging plants or turf. However, exposed twigs or tree tops at heights ranging from 10 to 50 ft (3 to 15 m) are chosen by males for song posts. The song is a ringing, musical trill. Juncos give their distinctive popping note when an intruder is
near the nest, especially after the eggs have hatched. References: Balph (1977), Hadley (1969), A. Miller (1941).

Turn Table Talk
I might be doing something wrong and need some TT guys to help me set it up. It is a MC cart like the 110 so I did not make any changes to the Pro-Ject phono preamp. When setup this way it has very low output/gain. With the sunfire cranked wide open its just barely at listening level.
Maybe I need to look at putting ohm jumpers on the back of the phono preamp?? Brian?? I can switch the phono pre to MM and it picks up lots of gain....really too much. Maybe It has such a lowered noise floor Im just not used to it...lol
Next issue. There is a twist dial on the rear of the tone arm. It is graduated 0.0/0.1/0.2/0.3 etc. Is this .1 gram increments or 1 whole gram increments.

Federal Chief Information Officers:
Responsibilities, Reporting Relationships, Tenure, and Challenges
GAO-04-823, Jul 21, 2004
Additional Materials:

Although the federal government has invested substantially in information technology (IT), its success in managing information resources has varied. Agencies have taken steps to implement modern strategies, systems, and management policies and practices, but they still face significant information and technology management challenges. Recognizing the key role of the chief information officer (CIO) in helping an agency to achieve better results through IT, congressional requesters asked GAO to study the current status of CIOs at major departments and agencies. Among the topics this report describes are (1) CIOs' responsibilities and reporting relationships, and (2) current CIOs' professional backgrounds and the tenures of all of the CIOs since enactment of the Clinger-Cohen Act.
GAO administered a questionnaire and interviewed CIOs at 27 major departments and agencies, finding that respondents were responsible for most of the 13 areas we identified as either required by statute or critical to effective information and technology management. All of the CIOs had responsibility for five areas, including enterprise architecture and IT investment management. However, two of these areas--information disclosure and statistics--were outside the purview of more than half of the officers. Although the CIOs generally did not think placing responsibility for some areas in separate units presented a problem, having these responsibilities performed by multiple officials could make the integration of various information and technology management areas, as envisioned by law, more difficult to achieve. Given these results, it may be time to revisit whether the current statutory framework of responsibilities reflects the most effective assignment of information and technology management responsibilities. The law also generally requires that CIOs report directly to their agency heads, and 19 of the 27 said that they did. However, views were mixed among current and former officers on whether such a direct reporting relationship was important. Agency CIOs come from a wide variety of professional and educational backgrounds, but they almost always have IT or IT-related work or educational experience. Since enactment of the Clinger-Cohen Act, the median tenure of a federal CIO has been about 2 years; in contrast, both current CIOs and former agency IT executives most commonly cited 3 to 5 years as the time they needed to become effective. According to some current CIOs, high turnover is a problem because it can limit CIOs' ability to put their agendas in place. Various mechanisms, such as human capital flexibilities, are available for agencies to use to help them try to reduce CIO turnover or mitigate its effect.
Status Legend:
- Open
- Closed - implemented
- Closed - not implemented
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Matter: As it holds hearings on and introduces legislation related to information and technology management, the Congress may wish to consider the results of this review and whether the existing statutory requirements related to CIO responsibilities and reporting to the agency heads reflect the most effective assignment of information and technology management responsibilities and reporting relationships.
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: As of September 2008, the Congress has not reexamined through hearings and legislation the statutory requirements related to CIO responsibilities and reporting relationships to the agency heads.

What would you do with the money right now? I'm asking in complete seriousness, and could really use the advice. Where would you invest? And mutual funds worth looking at? How much into gold & silver?
If I had $20K, I would say I had savings.....

I tell you that virtue does not come from money: but from virtue comes money and all other good things to man, both to the individual and to the state. - Socrates
Do you own a home yet? If not get a duplex/triplex/quad and take advantage of the government's FHA program, and make money by renting out the other unit(s)
<= 3.5% interest rates
3.5% money down
270k max loan for single family, up to I think ~500k max loan for a quadplex property.
These loans are guaranteed by our wonderfully generous government, so if you have anything better than terrible credit you instantly qualify.
The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
Haha, well my savings WERE Apple stock, but I had to bail on it because I think it's a sinking ship. I'm a small business owner making $800 a month, so it will be a long journey before I have more money to invest. I just need a safe place for that money. Inflation makes savings accounts pointless.
Put the 20k to work.
For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow." ~Ecclesiastes 1:18
Curious , how are you living on 800 a month ? I am getting read to throw $1500 in the mail for bills
That will get me by , to Thanksgiving .
Consumerism is a bitch. It creeps up on you pretty quickly. I learned a lot about it the first time I moved from my house to an apartment...couldn't believe how much crap I've purchased and only use irregularly.

There are no crimes against people.
There are only crimes against the state.
And the state will never, ever choose to hold accountable its agents, because a thing can not commit a crime against itself.
Is this money you may be needing in the next couple years? If so (and you indicate you want safety), you want to take less risk than if you won't need it for a long time. You will at least want to keep enough in a safe, liquid form to be able to cover all your expenses for a year (they used to say about six months but given the current employment situation I would want a year) should you for some reason lose your income source. I would not put that money into stocks or metals. But having said that, where I have a block of my "emergency fund" is in a stock- a dividend paying utility stock. Look into DRIPs or Dividend ReInvestment Plans- the cheapest way to invest in stocks (lower costs means higher returns). I get a guaranteed return with the dividend and utility stocks tend to be pretty stable so are less risky than other stocks. I keep another chunk (at least three months expenses) in a basic bank account. Low interest but safe keeping for the money. Having a reserve was critical the last time I found myself out of work- and it took 11 months to find a new job.

Congratulations! I was so happy to be finally working again! I did not care that I was working for a lot less money than before- it was more money than not working and I had the chance to work my way up. Now I make more than I used to. Looking for work was very frustrating and really sucked. A really crappy job is better than trying to find a job for that long.

Assuming I had no home no car and no job, I would build myself a tiny house (one of those 100 square foot homes) with solar panels for heat and a wood stove for warmth at a cost of less than $10,000, buy a cheap car that can tow it and find someone that is willing to let me stay in their driveway and use their water. I would have a home with no debt that I can take anywhere I need, a car to get me anywhere I need, and I could find a minimum wage job and have next to no expenses beyond food/wood/water which would all be pretty cheap. And if i could I would not even get a car at all which would eliminate car maintenance costs. From there I could save several thousand a year and after a few years I would have more money than I started with. At that point I could start investing.
No more IRS.
I am now old enough to vote.
100 square foot would be ten feet by ten feet. That is indeed tiny.
I am Zippy and I approve of this message. But you don't have to.
Setting your sites kind of low there 2young, eh? $20,000 isn't a lot of money. Why would you want to work a minimum wage job?
Original supporter of Ron Paul since 2007 and I stand with Rand.
It would depend on a lot of other factors... do you have a steady job? Do you have debt? Do you have any future obligations coming due in the near future, etc.
Google for Harry Browne's Permanant Portfolio and that is a good place to start.

When I say minimum wage job I don't necessarily mean I'd actually earn minimum wage, I just meant a low paying job that can be easily found around the city. Obviously if I could get a better job I would, but the low paying one is the starting point to get going. I made an excel spreadsheet and estimated that someone could put anywhere from $5000 to $7000 a year into a savings account while making $14000 a year if they lived frugally and didn't have a car and mortgage and huge electric/gas/plumbing bills. The idea is to take care of all of the necessities in life before taking any risks.
No more IRS.

Use it to invest in the precious metals market asap, gold, silver, even copper. All of them are accumulating wealth and will continue to do so. I(nvest in any thing else and you'll only see what you invested in become worth less and less as the Federal Reserve manipulates and tanks the market and devalues the dollar.

Depends on what assets you have. Do you own a home? A car? Are you satisfied with your current home? Does your car run well? If yes to all, I say forego the gold and silver for awhile to invest in real estate. It won't get you much, but it's a good start. I would try to build your income before you start pouring your cash into gold and silver. Only put into gold and silver (preferably silver) what you can afford to do without. From there, your decisions should be ruled mainly by good sense.

Thank you guys for the help so far. I really appreciate it.
To give you more details - I have no debt and no home. I currently rent a house with 3 other people. My monthly bills are $400 (rent, cable, gas, electric, phone). I am steadily employed at $800 a month in order to grow my business as much as possible (it's a tabletop gaming retail store, growing steadily) but could bump that up to $900-$1000 at the start of next year. I have my bachelors degree in Philosophy (Asian). I've taken and taught wilderness survival classes for about 8 years. I have no food or water stockpiled and do not own a gun or ammo. I own a Plymouth Neon with over 200k miles on it.
I'm looking to put a good chunk of my money toward more of a long-term savings and will keep the rest as an emergency fund. Hopefully that helps!
