Two local bird watchers are giving area residents a reason to rise and shine the next seven Saturdays.
Chattanooga Nature Center naturalist Kyle Waggener and Tennessee Ornithological Society member Clyde Blum are teaming up for Wake Up With the Birds, a series of walks to see which feathered friends are out and about at daybreak.
The outings are timed to early morning when songbirds are concluding the dawn chorus. This wake-up call, which scientists don't fully understand, Waggener said, marks a flutter of activity for songbirds.
"A lot of avian predators, like hawks, don't start being active until 10 [a.m.] or so," Waggener explained. "They ride thermals, so they have to wait on the ground to heat up and create the thermals.
Because of this, "you'll notice a slowing of [songbird] activity [as the morning progresses], but it never stops. We try to get out when it's reasonable for us and still a good level of activity for the birds."
According to Waggener's records, 50 to 75 species may be seen in a typical outing.
"The record for a walk is 85 species several years ago," he said.
The numbers typically peak in late April to early May. The two May dates for Wake Up With the Birds coincide with BioBlitz, a 24-hour species count of wildlife in the area, and International Migratory Bird Day, a worldwide count of migratory birds.
Binoculars are recommended for the outings, which send participants strolling along the Nature Center's boardwalk and through the adjacent grounds of Reflection Riding.
On the first walks, Waggener said, participants can expect to see birds that spend the winter here, such as ruby-crowned kinglets and yellow-bellied sapsuckers. Then species that winter in the Gulf and Atlantic coasts will move through, heading toward breeding grounds. These usually include blue-gray gnatcatchers and black-throated green warblers.
Later species might include yellow-billed cuckoos, Canada warblers and blackpoll warblers, which use Chattanooga as a pit stop on their way North, Waggener said.
One year, eight Baltimore orioles were spotted in the same tree. Another time, a baby barred owl was seen trying out a branch.
Participants don't always have to look up to see the birds, though, as the property is full of wild turkeys.
"It's nothing to [Nature Center staff] because we see them all the time," Waggener said. "But a lot of people on the bird walks get excited to see the turkeys."

Helping Clients During This Financial Storm
Five top concerns and how you can ease your client's fears.
August 15, 2011
Over the last week or so, I've had many calls from people understandably wanting to discuss the current market situation. Many considering selling have wisely taken into consideration tax ramifications and have mentioned needing to discuss their investments with their CPAs.
As such, during these highly volatile days, should you be getting calls to discuss these matters as well, I wanted to share with you some of the most common questions I've been hearing and some thoughts regarding them.
Needless to say, if someone calls me about taxes, I refer them to a CPA so if you're not a licensed securities advisor, you obviously have to refer your clients to someone who is. But if you are getting these types of questions and clients are asking you for any sort of thoughts when addressing them with investment advisors, I thought a short list of common questions I've been hearing and my thoughts about them could be of some help:
As always, whether one sells out, buys gold or searches for the bargains greatly depends on their individual goals, so please don't take any of the above as gospel by any means.
That said, I do hope some of the above can be of help.

MADISON, Wis. - After taking home the Cancun Challenge Championship with a 70-63 victory over the West Virginia Mountaineers last Wednesday, the No. 8 Wisconsin Badgers (8-0) will look to extend their eight-game winning streak to begin the season exactly one week later when they head east to take on the Virginia Cavaliers (7-1) as part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge on Wednesday night.
The ACC is 10-3-1 in the Challenge's 14 years, with the two conferences tying 6-6 in last season's annual meeting.
"The one good thing is you know every year either you've got a home or away game from a power conference, from a very good conference, and you know it's going to be a very good team," Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan said at a press conference on Monday.
Virginia has rattled off six straight wins after dropping their second game of the season at home to Virginia Commonwealth (59-56) and is coming off a weekend in which they were crowned champions at the Corpus Christi Challenge.
Last season, the Cavaliers came into the Kohl Center and left with a 60-54 victory. Led by Joe Harris and his 22 points, Virginia shot 45.7 percent from the field and outrebounded the Badgers 36-18.
Rebounding will go a long way in deciding the outcome of this year's matchup. Both Wisconsin and Virginia use a three-guard system and while Wisconsin's three guards are 6-foot-1 (Ben Brust), 6-foot-2 (Traevon Jackson), and 6-foot-3 (Josh Gasser), Virginia's guards are 6-foot-2 (London Perrantes), 6-foot-5 (Malcolm Brogdon), and 6-foot-6 (Harris).
Brust is the leading rebounder for both teams at 5.8 per game and the Badgers have four different players grabbing over five rebounds per game, but Virginia's team rebounding is mightily impressive and should give Wisconsin some trouble.
The Cavaliers grab an average of 39 rebounds per game, while conceding just 26 to their opponents. This gives Virginia a rebounding margin of 13 rebounds per game over their opponents, the sixth best margin in the nation. Compare that with Wisconsin's rebounding margin of 2.5 per game, 134th in the country, and the statistics become even more alarming.
Perhaps what is good news for the Badgers is that they haven't given their opponents many opportunities to bring in rebounds. While The Badgers are averaging 66.3 possessions, an increase of four from last season and the fastest pace since their 67 possessions per game in 2005-06, the Badgers are also scoring 1.2 points per possession - the most efficient team in Ryan's 13 seasons as coach.
Wednesday's game marks the first true road test of the season, a new type of challenge to this year's Badger squad.
"Well, it's a true road game," Ryan said. "At Green Bay, there were a lot of red jerseys. There was a lot of red coloring up at Green Bay, so it isn't like what's going to happen. I don't think we're going to see a lot of red in Charlottesville."

Then when it comes to storage of these toners, what type of containers should they be stored in, and how long do they have before they expire and I would be printing 5x7 and 8x10 for now so what size tray would be good for this process. Along with how to work with the toners. I have some prints that came out great and wrote the info on how did those particuliar prints, and would like to make them again and tone those prints.

The Tupelo school board has extended the contract of superintendent Gearl Loden. The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports Loden's contract now runs an additional year — through June 30, 2017. Loden was hired by the district last February and given a four-year contract that began on July 1, 2012.
He came to Tupelo after leading Amory schools. Loden replaced interim superintendent David Meadows.

The Phoenix Suns failed to come to an agreement on an extension with point guard Eric Bledsoe Thursday night, meaning the young point guard they acquired last offseason will become a restricted free agent this summer.
"There is no rookie extension with Eric but that doesn't in any way suggest that we are not excited that Eric is a Sun and we look forward to Eric being a Suns for a long time," said Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby, who has been engaged in extension talks over the past month with Mark Termini, the former agent who works as a negotiator for Bledsoe's agent, Rich Paul.
"It's a hard thing to do. We had numerous conversations over the past few weeks. We had a good, professional exchange of ideas."
Babby said the franchise's research showed that only three players — Al Jefferson, Caron Butler and James Harden — agreed to an extension in the past decade before playing for a team that had just traded for them.
"Both sides are trying to make projections on what Eric's performance and new role are going to be," Babby said Thursday night. "Those projections are not necessarily precise and, from the Suns' perspective, it needs to be considered from the context that Eric will be a restricted free agent in the summer, which gives us matching rights. In the end, it seemed prudent to wait until July. In the meantime, we will be rooting for Eric to have a great season."
There was basically no upside to the Suns extending Bledsoe. Either he takes off and has a monster season, making an extension a no-brainer, or he struggles and lowers his value below what he'll likely get now.

Pacheco drops out of RI secretary of state race
Former state Democratic Party Chairman Edwin Pacheco said Friday he's dropping out of the race for secretary of state in Rhode Island.
Pacheco confirmed the move to NBC 10's Bill Rappleye.
According to the Associated Press, Pacheco said he wants to focus on his family and his work as executive director of Education in Action, a nonprofit that provides civics and financial literacy programs for children.
Pacheco's departure leaves two other Democrats vying for the seat -- Newport businessman Guillame de Ramel and Nellie Gorbea, the former executive director of HousingWorks RI.
Pacheco served as chairman of the Democratic Party from 2010 until he resigned in April to focus on his campaign. He is a former state representative from Burrillville.
Incumbent Secretary of State Ralph Mollis is term-limited and has said he may run for lieutenant governor.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

There actually is coverage on Michigan's game last Saturday at two different Ohio State fan websites.
The Ozone has had a feature called "Michigan Monday" for years, and it continues.
LINK: http://theozone.net/football/2013/MichiganMondays/WeekOne_CentralMichigan.html
In addition, "Eleven Warriors" has apparently now added a weekly piece called "Sun & Bluesday."
LINK: http://www.elevenwarriors.com/2013/09/25429/michigan-football-sun-bluesday-fast-out-of-the-gate#more
Those of you who are addicts can go to the links. There just isn't a whole lot to add. A few observations from the Ozone.
- The Ozone liked Heitzmann & Ojemudia (in addition to the observations many have made about the O Line, Gardner, etc.)
- The Ozone also noted that the "Red Zone" defense for Michigan only gave up two field goals, which is a good thing.
Eleven Warriors isn't as heavy on analysis, but actually uses mgoblog's own Ace Anbender as as source of info. Johnny Ginter, their writer, is heavy on the snark, but can be entertaining. He writes,
I have recruited Ace Anbender from the admittedly *deep sigh* excellent MGoBlog to help me parse through what happened this past weekend. Our conversations are real, but have been edited slightly for brevity/spelling/to make me look cool.
- Ginter is pretty crabby because Michigan beat CMU the way Ohio fans think they should have beat Buffalo.
- He was struck that the defense was as good as it was, and the loss of Jake Ryan didn't cripple us.
- Ginter also thought Gardner wasn't bad. However, he believes that Gardner's decision making will come back to bite Michigan when playing against a real opponent (read: Ohio.) I have to agree I'd like to see Gardner improve there a bit.
- Ginter wasn't that impressed by Toussaint or Smith, but thinks Green is the real deal.
As always, go to the links if you want more detail. Given the nature of a first game against CMU, there just really isn't that much to analyze. (Well, unless you're doing things like UFR's.)

New York – With seven different champions in the last seven grand slam tournaments, it is nearly inconceivable that Serena Williams would be seen as the overwhelming choice to win the U.S. Open.
But after her Wimbledon and Olympic triumphs, many of her rivals seem to think the year's final grand slam is hers to lose.
"Serena is probably the favorite coming in given her recent form," said Australian Samantha Stosur, the defending champion. "No matter who you are, I don't think you can really deny that."
The U.S. Open begins on Monday at Flushing Meadows and Williams is seeded fourth, behind Victoria Azarenka, Agnieszka Radwanska and 2006 champion Maria Sharapova, who won this year's French Open.
Kim Clijsters, a three-time U.S. Open champion is playing in the last tournament of her career, also tipped her hat to Williams.
"Serena is the best ever just because physically she just stands out," Clijsters told reporters. "When she's in good shape she just stands out tremendously.
"I mean, she's fast, she's strong, she has a very good eye, as well. It's the combination. What we have seen over the last few months is the best player ever."
Williams lost in the round of 16 at the Australian Open, was bounced in her first match at the French before returning to the form that has seen her claim 14 grand slam championships.
The three-time U.S. Open champion is taking her status as the favourite in stride.
"You've got to embrace it whether you're the favorite or the one to beat or whether you are not," she said. "And I embrace it. In Wimbledon I wasn't the favorite. I embraced that.
"Hopefully I can propel and do my best here."
Top-ranked Azarenka, who won the Australian Open earlier this year by beating Sharapova in the final, bristled at the talk Williams was the one to beat.
"When I go in the tournament I'm trying to think of just the girl or my opponent who I play today, you know, that particular day," said the 6-foot-tall (1.83 m) Azarenka, who will face Russian Alexandra Panova in the opening round.
"Because the tournament is really long anything can happen on any day. You cannot feel great throughout the two weeks and play perfectly every match.
"You just have to take it really one moment at a time and don't think what's going to happen later or who's the favourite or not. I never even think about that."
Sharapova, a four-times grand slam champion, admitted Williams "gained a tremendous amount of confidence at Wimbledon" before striking gold at the London Games.
"When she got to the Olympics with every match she just improved," said Sharapova. "She took that confidence and she played just really great physical tennis, served extremely well.
"Who knows? Obviously of course she's the favourite because she won those two big events back to back. But everybody is still in the draw here.
"It starts from the first round on, and that's why everybody is here."
Barring an upset based on the seeding, Williams would play Radwanska in one semi-final, while Azarenka could take on Sharapova in the other.
Williams, who last won the U.S. Open in 2008, said it was difficult to compare winning the Olympics as a member of the United States team with a victory at Flushing Meadows.
"The Olympics is a totally different thing because you're playing for your country and you're rooting on your team mates and stuff like that," she said. "So it's just super, super cool.
"It's like Olympics is almost more fun. Whereas you really want to win but if you don't then you want the USA to win. Now here it's back to being a one-person sport." – Reuters

How do you spell love?
The heart-melting moment US soldier
returns from Iraq to surprise
daughter as she gets 'sergeant'
right at spelling bee
Last updated at 5:42 PM on 13th October 2011
Skylar Johnson had not seen her father since last Christmas when she stepped on stage for her school's spelling bee on Friday.
So when the moderator asked the nine-year-old how to spell 'sergeant', she was overcome with emotion when he appeared from behind the curtain.
Staff Sergeant Therron Johnson and his little girl embraced for the first time in almost a year at Boca Raton Elementary in Florida.
Emotional: Staff Sergeant Therron Johnson and nine-year-old Skylar hug for the first time in ten months at Boca Raton Elementary in Florida on Friday
An Avionics Line Supervisor with Charlie Company of the 1,111th Florida National Guard, Sergeant Johnson has been serving in Iraq for the past ten months.
CBS12 captured a video of the heartfelt moment, showing Skylar as she says the final 'T' into the mic in front of an auditorium of her classmates.
She's then asked if she knows any sergeants, and says sweetly: 'My dad.'
'Your dad? Wow, her dad is a sergeant,' her teacher told the class. 'That's kind of funny because today we have a very special sergeant here.'
A curtain opens behind her, revealing Sergeant Johnson dressed in his National Guard uniform.
The pair embrace as they blink back tears and he says to her: 'I love you baby! I love you so much!'
After the reunion, Skylar clung to her father and said she still had butterflies at the thought of seeing him again.
Sergeant Johnson presented the school with an American flag that flew over Iraq to thank it for its help in planning the reunion.
He said he had called school officials three weeks ago to let them know Skylar would be out of class for a few days while he was in town, and they wanted to make the reunion something special – so they planned the fake spelling bee.
'There are no words to explain how special this was,' he said. 'To have her whole class, everybody be a part of this, it was very, very special to me.'
Sergeant Johnson has nine days to spend with his family, including Skylar's tenth birthday, before he returns to Iraq.
For his daughter, this surprise was the best birthday gift she could imagine.
'I really hope he didn't get me a present, because this one, you can't beat it,' she said. 'Whatever he buys, he can't beat it.'
SSG Johnson surprises Skylar – HAPPY

Korbie's hair was straightish, because it was too short, and the curls too delicate. If it was humid enough and you fluffed his hair while wet, he'd have the start of curls, but the daily laying down, petting and rubbing his head against stuff would straighten his hair. But the curls did come in eventually.
Here's my album to show you how dramatic his hair change was. Towards the bottom are some infant pictures that show how straight his hair was. Now he has the tightest little ringlets, those pictures are not good hair days for him.

Regeneration of the intestinal epithelium after injury or during pathogenesis is a dynamic cellular process critical for host immunity. However, current epithelial injury models provide poor spatial control, complicating the study of precise cellular responses. Here we developed endoscopic femtosecond-laser surgery capable of generating acute tissue injury. A side-view probe provides a convenient access to the distal colon in the mouse in vivo and allows real-time intraoperative monitoring as well as pre- and post-surgery examinations via multiphoton imaging. The photo-induced damage showed a nonlinear dependence on laser intensity. At an optical power of 200 mW (2.5 nJ per pulse), scanning the beam focus over 300x300 µm2 area in the colonic mucosa generated substantial vascular damages within 30 s. We confirmed the localized tissue damage and the physiologic regeneration of the disrupted epithelium by in situ barrier function assays, validating the animal model for epithelial regeneration following injury. The femtosecond endosurgery technique is applicable to various experimental models based on laser-induced perturbations.

Zucchini Stroganoff
The classic is Beef Stroganoff, named after the 19th century Russian diplomat Count Paul Stroganov. It is made from slices of beef, mushrooms, and onions sautéd in butter with a sour cream sauce. So here's a side dish that replaces the beef with crunchy mellow fresh green zucchini squash. Alas it is not the prettiest dish, but it more than makes up for it in speed and flavor. Your guest will think it took you hours. Not!
Makes. 2 servings
Takes. 10 minutes prep time, 15 minutes, cooking time
2 tablespoons of butter
1/4 pound mushrooms
1/2 pound fresh zucchini
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons of sour cream
About the mushrooms. Regular old fashioned button mushrooms actually work better with this dish than portobellos or the fancier muchrooms.
About the zucchini. Pick a firm, fresh bright green zucchini. Yellow squash works, but not as well.
About the garlic. Believe it or not, this is one of those dishes where powdered garlic works better than fresh.
Outdoor Method
1) Cut the ends off the zucchini and slice into 1/4" disks. Rinse the mushrooms and pat them dry. Yes, you can wash mushrooms. They really don't absorb as much water as you might think. And when you cook this dish, a little water in the sauce doesn't hurt. Cut off the hard parts of the stems and cut them into 1/4" slices.
2) Melt the butter over low heat in a large non-stick frying pan or wok.
3) Toss the zucchini and mushrooms in the butter and turn off the heat. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and garlic.
4) Take out to the grill and dump them onto a grill topper or grill basket. Grill until they are both slightly limp and spoon into a serving bowl. Add the sour cream, stir it in, and serve.
Indoor Method
3) Add the mushrooms and turn the heat to high. sprinkle with garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss or stir occasionally until the mushrooms give up their water - there will be a wet puddle in the bottom of the pan. Continue heating and stirring until the water is almost gone.
3) Add the zucchini slices. Sauté until they begin to get limp, but not until they are mushy. You want a little crunch left.
4) Turn off the heat, add the sour cream, stir it in, and serve.

Tebow absence would radically alter Gators' offensive philosophy
"He wasn't moving," Florida center
As Tebow lay on the field at Commonwealth Stadium, the world stopped for the top-ranked Gators. No player in the country is more important to his team. After the more important questions about Tebow's well-being are addressed, it may be prudent to ask another question:
Thoughts of titles were secondary in the moments immediately following Tebow's injury. A replay showed that after a crushing hit from Kentucky defensive end
While the pictures of Tebow looked frightening, Florida coach
If Tebow indeed suffered a concussion, as Meyer suggested in his postgame press conference, he'll have an off week to recover and could possibly be ready to play when Florida faces LSU in Baton Rouge on Oct. 10. But if Tebow can't play, what then?
The Gators would turn to
If Brantley played at Georgia or USC or at any school that runs a pro-style offense, he could replace the starter seamlessly. The problem at Florida is that the coaching staff will have to adjust the offense to fit Brantley's skill set, which is more similar to
Meyer has said the Florida offense under Brantley would look more similar to Meyer's Utah offense under
Bottom line: Brantley has the talent to keep Florida competing for a title if he is pressed into duty, but the complications of switching between quarterbacks suited for two different styles could significantly slow Florida's offense.
Meyer knows this. Obviously, he'd rather get Tebow back now and install the Brantley offense next spring. "We've just got to get [Tebow] healthy," Meyer told the Gator Radio Network.

How my products are sold, the main SKU of my product will never have any stock (stock=0) and I just track/change the stock of the product options. Does this make sense?
I think so. You're using the "alternate SKU" feature as documented in http://www.ubercart.org/docs/user/10962/product_skus_and_adjustments , right? If so, I think you'll be fine. In fact, this is the very reason that I export the stock levels as a separate file, instead of including it in products.csv, which only has records for the "primary" SKUs.
Anyway, give it a shot and let us know how you go.

Rebels, troops clash in Aleppo
Aleppo: The route to Aleppo from the Turkish border is a long web of dirt back roads with miles of exposed ground. But undaunted and in total darkness, dozens of young men jump onto white trucks with their AK-47 rifles, keen to join the fight there.
Syria's 16-month revolt has finally erupted in the country's commercial hub, but the momentum was not generated inside the city — it was brought into the historic city's ancient stone alleyways from the scorched fields of the surrounding countryside.
" "Share on facebookTweet this
But now the things are heating up.
Troops and rebels fought pitched battles near an intelligence headquarters in Aleppo Tuesday, a watchdog said, as a military offensive in Syria's commercial capital raged into a fourth day.
The fighting erupted when rebels launched an assault before dawn on the powerful air force intelligence branch in Aleppo's Zahraa district, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Fighting was continuing into the day.
Rebels armed with rocket propelled grenades attacked Aleppo's main military court as well as a police station and a branch of the ruling Baath Party in the city's Salhin district, the Britain-based Observatory said.
Meanwhile, the neighbourhoods of Firdoss, Al Mashhad and Ansari were bombarded through the night by government troops, the watchdog said.
Fighting also flared in Salaheddin, the rebels' main bastion in Aleppo, which was strafed by government helicopter gunships, according to the Syrian Revolution General Committee, a network of activists on the ground.
A security official in Damascus had said that the army had regained some of Salaheddin but it was facing "a very strong resistance." The rebels, however, denied that the army had advanced even "one metre".
The Observatory said violence across the country as of on Monday saw 93 people killed - 41 civilians, 19 rebels and 33 soldiers.
