Research Interests and Approaches:
My current research interests include studying the effects of forest fragmentation on the nest predators of the endangered Marbled Murrelet and a variety of songbirds in coastal Washington, understanding how best to conserve birds native to the Pacific Islands, and determining how birds respond to urbanization. Although these topics seem disjunct, they have a strong common thread that has anchored most of my research since graduate school. That thread is my personal interest and enthusiasm for corvids, especially jays, crows, and ravens. Throughout most of the world these intelligent birds thrive on humankind's waste and have increased dramatically in abundance and range. As a result, they often unbalance ecosystems because they limit the productivity of other organisms such as the endangered Least Tern and Marbled Murrelet. In the Pacific Islands and other tropical locations, however, many corvids are endangered.
The Hawaiian Crow is one of the rarest birds in the world with less than 30 individuals remaining worldwide and less than 15 surviving in the wild. I am an active contributor to the recovery of this species as a former member of the USFWS appointed Recovery Team and advisor to other research on the islands. The Mariana Crow survives only slightly better on the islands of Guam and Rota. I currently lead the USFWS Recovery Team for this species. Research conducted by myself and my students in Idaho is also aiding the recovery of this species. In my work on the recovery of these critically endangered species I have been more concerned with demographic issues than genetic ones because in very small populations genetic options are limited. My research has focused on the development of hand-rearing techniques (egg incubation regimes, chick-rearing diets and feeding schedules) and reintroduction techniques (testing the effects of rearing birds with and without puppets to simulate parents, with and without wild tutors, and determining how birds respond to releases in areas with and without conspecifics).
My recent research on corvid predation in Washington illustrates an important aspect of conservation biology that I will always try to maintain. This is the importance of cooperative research that involves all important stakeholders. My research is jointly supported state, federal, and private forest managers. Thus, all major landowners and managers on the Peninsula are intimately involved with the research, support its design, and will therefore be more likely to implement our findings for the benefit of the murrelet in the future. By involving all stakeholders in a contentious issue, like how timber harvest may potentially influence an endangered species, we hope to avoid polarizations and mistrust that were common in the similar effort to understand how timber harvest influences Spotted Owls.
I am also interested in the conservation of birds of prey. These species often face endangerment, but my research on them has focused more on understanding their habits before they become endangered so that expensive restoration projects can be avoided. In this light, I have had worked with students and colleagues studying Golden Eagles and Prairie Falcons in the Snake River Birds of Prey National Conservation Area.

Dear Amy: I've been in a relationship with a basically good man (we're both in our 60s) for three years. We have many things in common and enjoy each other most of the time, but some of his behavior is very difficult and tiring to deal with.
If he makes a mistake of any sort, he becomes angry and often throws the offending item (never at me). He hates to admit he's done anything wrong and has lied numerous times.
At his place he keeps everything very neat. At my place he couldn't care less (although he will offer to help me when I ask him for assistance). We've had many conversations about his attitude and behavior, and he says he most certainly will take care of it. That lasts about two days.
He becomes so negative at times that it just wears me out. We've talked about that as well.
I'm really becoming so tired of it all, but I don't want to give up before asking your advice.
What am I missing here? Is there any hope that he will correct any of this?
— Very Tired
Dear Tired: Your account of this relationship is that your guy is negative, deficient, angry and inconsiderate. He is a project in need of constant correction, and then he is either too set in his ways or negligent to stay corrected.
It sounds like he is trying, but he just can't get there. You are locked in a ridiculous and exhausting dynamic with him. Not only is this not good for you, but imagine how he feels to be such a consistent disappointment (according to you).
If you want to stay in this relationship, your choices are to either accept his considerable flaws and go all in with him — as is — or draw up a short list of non-negotiables. Let him know what they are. And let all the other stuff go.
If someone throwing an object in anger is one of your non-negotiables (it would be on my list, unless said object is a basketball), then the next time this happens, you're done. If being lied to is on your list of non-negotiables (again, this would be on my list), and if you get lied to, then you're done. And you don't go back.
Dear Amy: I have daughter who is 26 years old. She has a 15-year-old sister from her mother (my ex-wife; we don't know who this girl's father is).
My daughter brought her sister home to stay with us because my ex-wife was very abusive to her. She now lives with me and my wife.
How do I present her to my friends and other people in our lives without calling her something made up, like "niece" or "stepdaughter," etc.?
— Wondering Un-Dad
Dear Un-Dad: First of all, I give you so much credit for trying to be a hero to this teenager. I hope you will work hard to get your family any extra help you might need. If this girl has been living in a home so abusive that she needed to leave it, she would probably benefit from counseling — privately and also with your family. Family counseling can help everyone learn to communicate through challenging situations.
You should introduce this girl by her name: "This is 'Tiffany,' she is 'Tasha's' sister, and she's living with us now."
People who know you will easily figure out what is what. People who don't know you well don't need to know the particulars of this girl's parentage, only that she is a part of your household.
Dear Amy: "With Friends Like This" took issue with his politically conservative sisters, who rejected him because he is gay. Your response was so powerful. If everyone would adopt the practice of forgiving — "forgiving someone does nothing to change the outcome but does everything to change how you feel" — it would be a much more peaceful world. Thank you!
— A Fan
Dear Fan: Forgiveness is an incredibly powerful force for healing and for spreading good in the world, and yet it is too seldom practiced. Thank you for the good word.

For me, truthfully, documentaries about African American genealogy begin and end with African American Lives 1 & 2. I didn't really get into NBC's "Who Do You Think You Are" during its first run. This year, one of the show's (which premieres February 4th at 8pm/7 C) first celebs is Vanessa Williams. As it turns out Ms. Williams family history yields some genealogical gems worthy of prime time television:
a visit to the national archives
She had me at "United States Colored Troops", so I guess I'll be watching……
UPDATE: Really, really good stuff! I'll be watching every Friday (or at least on DVR)!

VATICAN CITY — The 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council is being celebrated as a major step in the opening of the Vatican Press Office, the successor of the council's information office.
LUMSA, a Rome university nestled between St. Peter's Square and Vatican Radio, held a conference this morning marking the 50th anniversary of the press office, its evolving role and — more generally — the church's changing attitude toward and relationship with the press.
As Catholic News Service marks the 50th anniversary of Vatican II by posting the dispatches written by its team of reporters covering the council, the work they produced becomes even more striking in the light of the problems that faced Italian Catholic journalists trying to report on the council.
During the Second Vatican Council, Raniero La Valle was editor of Avvenire, the Italian bishops' daily newspaper. He said the fact that during the first session of the council almost everything officially was considered secret "put us in great difficulty."
"Information did come out, but we couldn't write most of it," he said this morning. "Our hands were tied behind our backs."
La Valle said Italian news stories about the 1962 session of the council are "not fully accurate" because the Italian Catholic press felt bound by the secrecy rules, while the Italian secular press based their reports on interviews with anyone they could find. La Valle said most of those willing to be interviewed had an agenda and wanted to get out their point of view.
"The council could not be covered except as a scoop by secular journalists," he said.
As the old CNS stories spelled out, the U.S. bishops participating in the council acted quickly to help the English-speaking journalists cover the council. They established a panel of experts to meet with reporters each day and answer their questions.
La Valle said that when the second session of the council opened in 1963, Msgr. Pericle Felici, the council's general secretary, told reporters that while the workings of the council were to be considered secret, reporters should feel free to use "common sense" in determining the limits of the secrecy. From then on, he said, the Italian Catholic media began fully reporting the council.
"For four years, the council was good news and that's how the public saw it," he said. Despite traditionalist voices that try to imply the council — or interpretations of it — have destroyed the church, "it remains good news, which is the reason the church is celebrating its 50th anniversary," La Valle said.

Here is our discussion topic for this term. If you could choose study something that you have never had the opportunity to study, what subject would you choose ? Explain your choice, using specific reasons and details to support your answer. As for me, I would choose to study fine arts. I have always wanted to learn how to paint and draw and I have never had the opportunity to do this. I have tried to paint and draw as an amateur, with very mixed results. It is very difficult to learn specific techniques in the large classes and my teachers do not have the time to attend to all the students in the class. Some of my classmates are very good at painting, and it is frustrating to be a beginner in such classes ! However, if I went to more formal classes I would learn more about how to paint, get more individual attention, and develop my painting skills. I would also have the opportunity to exhibit and even sell some of my paintings, and that would be a dream come true for me. Back to top hellfyJoined: 21 Jun 2010Posts: 2 Posted: Wed Jul 28, 2010 11:15 pm Post subject: If I get an opportunity to study something... As for me, if I get an opportunity to study something, I want to study Russian language. Russia is the one of the biggest countries in the world and has not also long history but also great culture. In this January, I got an opportunity to take part in one month of Winter Russian language school program as international student and it was an amazing experience. I had been FENU - Far Estern National University and studied basic Russian language such as its grammar and conversation. Although it was just one month program, actually, I realised that learning foreign language is good to broaden my horizon and can be good experience. In my opinion, language reflects their culture and tradition so we can understand their ones by studying their language. Furthermore, my major is international trade so learning foreign language is very important for me. Even though Russia has a good relationship with Korea which is my country, actuall trade scale is quite small. Russia has a lot of natural resources and a high potential of growth. To conclude, I would like to study Russian if I had the opportunity to do so.

I always want to know how to take a photo professionally and how to edit photos. In fact, I try improving my skills in photography these days by reading some lessons and watching videos on the internet. And sometimes, I use Photoshop program to edit my photos. I think that photos have glamour; it can send hundred messages to the world! So I hope to be a big photographer. I have many ideas but I cant display them clearly because I still unskilled photographer. Photography could be either hoppy or a job. Actually, many photographers today work in advert companies, newspapers or paid their photos in private gallery. So I can decide what I can do after I become professional. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Asra[/size] Back to top javiera_duranJoined: 21 Jul 2010Posts: 1 Posted: Wed Jul 28, 2010 11:36 pm Post subject: DANCE! DefiniteIy, I would have liked to study dance. I always have enjoyed dancing and each time that I see some modern or classic dancing presentation in a theatre, in a cinema or on the TV, I regret hadn't done it. During my life, I have been part of few dancing groups, but nothing formal, just dancing for fun. For example when I was at the school I participated in a folk music group for 2 years. We played some musical instruments and we also danced national dances, such as "cueca"* and "pascuense"* twice per week. I spent a great time with them. However, I had to leave the group because my time was very limited. Other experince with dancing was when I was 12 years old. It was also at school in the Cheerleaders team. I was part of this group for 3 years and it was an incredible experience. We participated in many competitions and we won many of them. Although I have lived many experiences related with one my passions, nothing isn't really related with the kind of dance that I would have liked to study...a mixture of classic and modern dance. There is a movie that perfectly shows my idea. The name of this movie is "Street Dance". Other example of this type of dance is a dance group called Rock Dance. They were in Perth few weeks ago and their presentation was amazing!. Finally, I always thought that if you have a dreams you have to do everything for making it happen, but in this case I think is impossible to do it for many reasons (my age, my protities now, etc), so dancing for me will be always my frustated dream. *cueca and pascuense are traditional dances of my country (Chile) Back to top Lee Yeon JungJoined: 21 Jul 2010Posts: 1 Posted: Wed Jul 28, 2010 11:41 pm Post subject: If I had a chance.... I want to learn music. Especially I want to learn how to play the instrument, guitar. And I really like music, if I don't have an interest in something, I don't want to learn about it. When I was young, I learned how to play the piano, but I've never learned how to play the guitar. And thesedays, I am interested in music whose melody is really beautiful. When I listen to these kinds of music, I think I want to play these melodies. As I see people who can play the guitar they look like good musicians. Musician is a kind of artist.I think artist always do deep thinking and behave gently. And different from piano, I can take a guitar anywhere. so when I want to play the instrument, I can play it. And In my opinion, If you have an instrument which you can play, you can make a friend more easily. Because music can make us one. Eventhough we are from another country, so I can't understand what you are talking about and you can't understand what I'm saying, we can make a connection through music. Therefore, I want to learn a guitar that I can play anywhere, anytime to make friends and get along with them. Back to top aileenmioJoined: 21 Jul 2010Posts: 1 Posted: Wed Jul 28, 2010 11:42 pm Post subject: I would choose to study.... I would choose to study music, I am interested in how to play bass. I was a member of a band when I was a high school student , there are three instrument in a band, drums, guiter and keybord. I can play keybord because I have play the piano for about 10 years and I learned how to play drums in university, so there still have two instrument that I don't know how to play. One reason for I want to learn how to play the bass rather than the guiter is there are too many people playing guiter, and the most important thing is that between these two choice, grils often choose guiter because it is much easier for girls to play because bass's string is thicker then guiter's, therefor when we are doing some skills like sweep picking, slide ....etc, fingers will feel hurt. So it is too common to play guiter, I like to be diffrient to others. Another reason is that I think the sound of bass is very special, I remembered that at the beginig, it is hard for me to seperate the sounds between bass and guiter, they are so similer, I oftrn got confused, but as the time went by, I finally understand the difference, since then, I was interested in this instrument. Here are something more interesting, we can use bass to substitute for drums in some songs, I found out this fact when I learnd how to play drums. Even though it is difficult to play and I may have to practice it day and night, I still would like to give it a try. thus, I can not only be the drumer and keybord player but also the bass player in the future.

Local fishing continues to be affected by the summer heat, as well as a pattern of good days and bad days, which seems a bit unpredictable. Most anglers finding luck are having it in the early morning, or by battling with persistence through the heat in spots around structure and when the tide is moving fast.
There's just no way to paint this picture and make it look too bright; fishing has been tough.
I first met Zack Byrd in 2003 when he won the Carolinas Junior Championship. I sat in his home in Calabash and chatted with the young phenom, and his parents, Cindy and Steve. He was being home-schooled at the time because his junior golf schedule was so rigorous it would not allow him to attend a regular high school with any consistency. Each week, his dad or mom drove him to junior events all over the country.
Having been a professional fisherman for nearly 20 years, there is simply no replacement for experience in learning and understanding an area's fishery. And to this day, I am still humbled at how foolish the fish can make me feel. However, I do feel as if time has afforded me the opportunity to experience year after year seasonal fish behavior and, as such, sort of get an idea about what the fish are doing.
Brunswick County fishing has picked up a bit from the summer doldrums we have been in. Oppressive heat continues to make fishing best early in the morning or after sunset, but at least anglers have been catching some fish as they begin to turn their eyes toward fall.
The piers have seen scattered catches of Spanish mackerel, bluefish, black drum and flounder with speckled trout showing up for some morning runs. There are some pompano in the surf along with the snapper blues and a few puppy red drum.
Members of the Cape Fear Flounder Tournament Committee have organized the Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce's first flounder tournament, which will be July 31 at Southport Marina.
Don Hughes is the chairman of the tourney, which has an all-cash guarantee of prizes. This is a boat-only tournament. All fish must be taken on a rod and reel. Entry fee is $100 per boat, with optional $50 tournament within a tournament fee.
Local anglers are in the middle of a hot summer, and fishing is best in the early mornings or around sunset.
One species that can be caught during the day, however, are pompano. This year the pompano were late showing up in our waters but they are present now and will get more numerous as we pass August and go toward the fall.
"Normal" is a loose word in reference to fishing. I've been fishing for many years, and I still struggle when someone asks me what he can expect to catch on any given day.
The problem is fish have minds of their own and tails that can lead them most anywhere. I've read science that says fish have a brain the size of a pea. I've been out there hunting fish on many days when I felt as if I had the brain the size of pea and they were nothing short of genius.
Brunswick County inshore anglers are in the stranglehold of a familiar summer pattern right now: early morning bites, nothing happening during the hot days and powerful thunderstorms roaming at night. I wouldn't say fishing is bad, but not much is happening while the sun is high in the sky.
Mother Nature is balancing the weather equation once again. We had several incredible weeks of weather in mid-June and now we are paying for it in mid-July.
As is typical for the summer, a high-pressure ridge has set up to our west, known as a Bermuda high. This high-pressure system brings us a southerly flow, which drives up the heat and humidity and brings the southwest trade winds. These winds are what bother us fishermen the most, as the more the wind, the bigger the seas.

Why the media lies about Ali
Why the media lies about Ali By Jeffrey T. Kuhner The establishment media is painting a false picture of Muhammad Ali. The late boxing champion is being portrayed as "The Greatest." He is supposedly the finest athlete, boxer and—maybe even—American of the 20th century. Media outlets have not only been celebrating his life and numerous athletic accomplishments, but deifying him. I normally do not like to write anything critical about someone who has just passed away. It's bad taste. Family members and friends deserve to mourn those they have lost…Read More
Criminal Hillary is unfit to be president
By Jeffrey T. Kuhner Hillary Clinton claims Donald Trump is "temperamentally unfit" to be America's commander-in-chief. "This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes," she said in a major foreign policy speech in San Diego, arguing that the Republican presumptive nominee could start a war simply because somebody "got under his very thin skin." Hence, for Democrats, add warmongering—on top of fascism, racism, bigotry, xenophobia, extremism. nativism, isolationism, Islamophobia, homophobia, chauvinism and misogyny—to their long, growing list of reasons to fear The…Read More
Governor Globe
By Jeffrey T. Kuhner Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker is joining the transgender revolution. The liberal Republican has said he will sign the "transgender rights" bill pushed by leftist Democrats in the state Legislature. The legislation represents a triumph for LGBT activists. It calls for individuals—based upon their "gender identity" or the "gender expression" they associate with at the time—to be able to use the restrooms, changing rooms or locker rooms of their choice. In other words, grown men, with their hairy chests and exposed genitals, will be allowed to shower…Read More

Similarly, women can use any formerly men's facilities. The only requirement: you must say you feel as the opposite sex. You don't need to wear a dress or a have a beard. You just need…Read More

Revenge of the RINOs as Trump surges in Massachusetts
By Jeffrey T. Kuhner Fearing a victory by Donald Trump, the Republican establishment is in complete panic. Nationally, GOP elites are openly talking about a brokered convention. FOX News, The Wall Street Journal and The Weekly Standard are desperately shilling for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio. Some are even calling for a moderate Republican to run as a third party candidate should Trump capture the GOP nomination. In short, establishment RINOs would prefer to have Hillary Clinton win in November than see a real conservative populist take control of the party….Read More
Reflecting on Delegate Counts: Trump Surges, Meanwhile Some Look to Give Cruz Delegates
Conservatives voted for Scott Brown the 1st time, then he screwed them. He did so at his own peril, and quickly became yesterday's garbage, losing against the fake indian Warren. Conservatives voted for Charlie Baker, then he screwed them (see related pages on the "Conservative Purge" being undertaken by Baker/Polito), but really, this was pretty much expected from Charlie. His own words "I'm left of Obama on the social issues" and it's no surprise where he would try to pull the state. So with the presidential race before us, Conservatives…Read More

Sparano said Thursday he has a package of around 15 plays in the game plan each week for Tebow. He keeps them separate on his play-call sheet. But there have been a few reasons why Tebow has not been used for more than 12 plays in a game and it's usually around 7.I don't really get what Sparano's point is, but I get the sense that there's a few situations in which using or not using the Wildcat would be applicable (or not) from his comments.
"You get into some games where ... Indianapolis, New England where we're running it pretty good and doing some decent things and you just don't go to all those plays," Sparano said. "At the same time, games like the Miami game where we had to be in up-tempo for a lot of the time ... That's not a place to be shuffling people in and out at that point. We had to get as many plays snapped as we could to get into the game."
1) The offense is humming along and working well on it's own, not needing the added wrinkle of the WildcatSo if those situations are when it won't work, is there an implied situation when it would?
2) The offense is playing catch up and to get back into the game, the Wildcat will only detract from the rhythm
3) When the offense is ahead and looking to break tendencies to keep their opponent on their toesOf course when they've been faced with those instances (Bills, Colts) they didn't use the Wildcat there either.
What I do gather from Sparano's comments is that the Wildcat breaks rhythm and is only effective in a narrow set of circumstances that are of his discretion, which he seems unwilling to spell out. To me, the Jets are just making excuses for using or not using a package they talked up all offseason. Instead of worrying about rhythm or being ahead or behind, they need to think about the Wildcat more game-plan specifically.
The Wildcat is great to slow down the pass rush of opposing teams. The Wildcat is a great way to help establish a running game by adding an extra blocker to the party in favor of the offense and getting the quarterback out of the backfield. The Jets need to think about that and how that applies to their offense, not whether or not they are ahead or behind. The Wildcat CAN be used well and I do think that Tebow is a great part of the personnel if they use him to run the ball and throw to threaten the safeties. But since the coaches are unwilling to do that, they're going to be stuck in this paradigm until they snap out of it.

President Barack Obama has announced his intention to nominate James W. (Jim) Miller to be under secretary of agriculture for Farm and Foreign Agricultural Services and Dallas P. Tonsager to be under secretary of agriculture for Rural Development.
"Jim Miller and Dallas Tonsager are well aware of the challenges and opportunities in rural America. They have dedicated their lives to enhancing the success and improving the lives of farmers, ranchers and those living in rural areas," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
Miller currently is chief of staff for the National Farmers Union, a position he accepted in 1999 after serving four years as senior analyst for agriculture and trade on the majority staff of the Senate Budget Committee. Miller also has served as chief economist for the National Farmers Union and as vice president for government relations for the National Association of Wheat Growers.
Miller operated a fourth-generation family farm in eastern Washington for over 20 years and served as president of the National Association of Wheat Growers in 1987. He was co-chairman of the Canada-U.S. Joint Commission on Grains, a federal commission established to resolve grain trade issues between the two countries.
He is a graduate of Washington State University.
Tonsager currently serves as a board member of the Farm Credit Administration (FCA), a position to which he was appointed in 2004. He also is a member of the board of directors of the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation. Prior to his appointment to the FCA, he was executive director of the South Dakota Value-Added Agriculture Development Center, where he coordinated initiatives to better serve producers who developed value-added agricultural projects.
Tonsager was appointed by President Bill Clinton as the South Dakota state rural development director in 1993 and was named one of two outstanding state directors by USDA in 1999.
In partnership with his brother, he owns Plainview Farm in Oldham, S.D., a family operation that includes corn, soybeans, wheat and hay.
He is a graduate of South Dakota State University.

Sprint confirms buyout offer from Japan's Softbank
Sprint Nextel, the third-largest US mobile carrier, has confirmed that it is in talks that could result in its takeover by Japanese mobile carrier Softbank.
The Wall Street Journal was first to report on the negotiations, based on a tip by an inside source. Details of the talks were not clear, though it's estimated that the value of the deal in discussion could exceed $12.8bn.
An investment of that size would give the Softbank a controlling interest in Sprint, which currently has a market capitalization of $16.95bn.
Softbank brushed off any requests for comment on Thursday, issuing only a terse statement: "The story about SoftBank and Sprint Nextel Corporation being reported is based on speculation. We have not announced anything. We do not comment on speculation."
Later that same day, however, Sprint issued a rather more forthcoming news release of its own, acknowledging the talks and the potential impact they could have on its business:
Sprint ... today confirmed that it is currently engaged in discussions with Softbank regarding a potential substantial investment by Softbank in Sprint. Although there can be no assurances that these discussions will result in any transaction or on what terms any transaction may occur, such a transaction could involve a change of control of Sprint. Sprint does not intend to comment further unless and until an agreement is reached.
The news comes shortly after word that Sprint was considering making an offer to acquire prepaid mobile player MetroPCS, in a move that could have thrown a wrench in the recently announced merger deal between MetroPCS and fourth-place US wireless carrier T-Mobile.
Both Sprint and T-Mobile have struggled to gain ground against the more entrenched Top Two US carriers. Verizon Wireless and AT&T each have nearly twice as many subscribers as Sprint, and three times as many as T-Mobile.
But all four major US carriers are seeing overall subscription revenues decline, particularly in their top-tier unlimited plans, as customers switch to cheaper prepaid service offerings.
Seeing this trend, Sprint and T-Mobile have both moved aggressively into the prepaid market in hopes of seizing an advantage against the Top Two, which still rely more heavily on traditional subscriptions. As such, a merger with MetroPCS would be strategic for either company.
Sources close to Sprint claim it was already considering buying MetroPCS for around $8bn in February, adding fuel to speculation that it now might try to block the deal with T-Mobile.
Sprint has since put its counterbid for MetroPCS on hold, however, reportedly until it can more thoroughly examine the details of T-Mobile's offer. Some analysts have interpreted this to mean that Sprint may be setting its sights even higher, and that it now plans to wait for the MetroPCS/T-Mobile merger to close so it can bid on the combined company.
An infusion of cash from Softbank could make such a super-merger more likely. Sprint's current share price is significantly higher than it was in February, putting it in a much stronger position to acquire MetroPCS now than then. But a larger merger would still be costly, and Sprint still has its long-term network upgrade plans to worry about.
If a Softbank-controlled Sprint succeeded in acquiring the merged MetroPCS and T-Mobile, however, it would make the company a much stronger third-place contender in the US wireless market – provided, that is, such a deal passed regulatory scrutiny, which is a big "if."
The idea certainly sounded appealing to Sprint investors, though; the carrier's share price jumped more than 13 per cent on the news. ®

See Full Results in the Ancestry.com DNA Test
I get a pretty map.
I have a private family tree at Ancestry.com. That means that I can see it, but others cannot. In my DNA results, there is a world map and my ancestors' birthplaces are tagged on that map. That way I can see where my ancestors are in terms of the color-coded pie slice regions. It's a pretty map, but it doesn't tell me anything new since I'm the one who put all the information in the tree anyway.
I get a brief lesson on ethnicity.
There are a few paragraphs on how ethnicity is determined and its accuracy.
I get information on my ethnic pie slices.
I have four different colored pie slices, so there are options to read about each one. There is information on history, migrations and current countries. There is no commentary for my big "uncertain" pie slice.
I get potential matches. Lots and lots of them.
Ancestry.com DNA provides potential cousin matches based on the test results of others. They are loosely grouped by relationship range, but you can filter and edit the set any way you want. If a potential match has a public family tree on Ancestry.com, you are able to view that. There is an option to contact a potential match.
Ancestry.com also provides an estimated relationship level, so I can see who might be my 3rd cousin, 4th cousin, etc. This is not a perfect tool, just an estimation. One person listed as a potential 4th cousin to me is actually a 2nd cousin once-removed.
Parting thoughts
I took the Ancestry.com DNA test for my own curiosity, so I'm not compelled or motivated to review it here. Hopefully I've provided enough details to answer some questions. The best parts of the test are the pretty pie chart and the potential cousin matches. It's just nice to know you're connected to others out there on the big blue planet.
6 comments:
I have one more question: Are your matches given your full real name, your Ancestry username, or no identifying info? In other words, do you have the option of remaining anonymous to matches that you know you don't want to connect with?ReplyDeleteReplies
Kerry, all I see of my matches are what I assume are their Ancestry user names, and I assume they are seeing the same for my account. If the matches have public family trees, you can see them. If not, it will say private tree. Either way, there is an option to contact all matches through Ancestry channels (it does not show email addresses).Delete
Hi Amy,Delete
I'm curious why you haven't listed Coffin in your surname list. I am a Coffin and have great interest in finding others who e gone as far as doing DNA profiles to share data with. I am guessing Coffin is a married name then?
If you possibly have any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi there, T. Coffin,Delete
You are correct in assuming Coffin is my married name. I have done zero research on the line (mostly because others have already done it).
I don't have Coffin in my surname list because I have nothing to share, not even DNA. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up.
You have a pretty pie chart! :) Mine was much less colorful. I debated about making a public tree to link to my DNA results (my main one is private) and eventually decided to go for it. I have mixed feelings about my choice.ReplyDelete

Hi, what if you just want your pie chart and map, is there a way to turn off the potential match feature?ReplyDelete

Okay, I hate to do this, but I have decided to resign from the post of the keenIME dropdown administrator.
First, I want to give my sincere apologies for those who have been inconvenienced by my AWOL status. I know I have been neglecting my duties for some time. I feel sad to end my relation with something that I began, but other projects have kept me from being able to keep up with the dropdown sign-ups and weekly spotlights, and they don't seem to be letting up anytime soon.
I think there were many good things that have happened over the years with the keenIME group. In particular, we were able to pull off three successful collaboration efforts, "Frickin' Cold Winter", "Keenime Spring Break", and "Keenime Hearts", each one led by different Keenspace artists and members. There was a lot of fervor and diligence that went into these undertakings and I sincerely thank each individual involved.
The dropdown itself, however, has outgrown its practicality. This is mainly because of the astounding number of new comics (and aborted comics) in keenspace, that to keep a coherent list of updating comics would be difficult and time-consuming. We have already seen the list grow to unwieldy proportions.
The weekly spotlights, however, I felt were really helpful in showcasing new artists. Unfortunately, it too also required much individual effort, and the queue grew so large, that many who would sign up would not be drawing their comics when their spotlight week finally arrived.
Now, of course there are ways to improve on this system. For example, better automation, a better organization and perhaps categorization of comics, a change in the signup policies, etc. I don't think that a lean, mean keenIME system is impossible to achieve, but it will require quite some up-front effort, and I personally don't have any free time left to undertake this.
Also, because of very bad choices I had made in the outset, the old dropdown is glued to my own comic account, and not somewhere public like "gear.keenspace.com". This poses inconveniences for myself as well as keenIME members. If a new dropdown is created, it should be created as a brand new start, and stored on a brand new, and public location. What remains in my account is a stub file that is empty, so therefore, anyone using that dropdown will see that the javascript doesn't write anything at all. If you wish to see the code for the original old dropdown, you can find it at
During the time I was involved in keenIME, I saw many people stand up and take the reins, and really demonstrate good leadership. I am confident that there is someone out there who would be willing to renew and reorganize the keenIME dropdown into something much better than it was. I am happy to assist this person in any way, when he or she decides to step up and take care of it. Private message me or whatever if you need help or advice.
Sorry this sounds so cheesy. I'm happy to see that there is still activity in the forum here. Please keep it up, and thanks!

Hey there loves! Here is another green eye makeup look! Here is a more dark and edgy look than the first! It was easy to create, and you can use any makeup products you have lying around! When I finished the look it sort of reminded of a version of the makeup the girl from Pitch Perfect wears. This is a fun and kind of vampy look! If you have any questions about the products I used, feel free to ask. I hope you guys enjoy and please like this post and follow me if you do 🙂 Thanks so much for reading and love always Pearlsnheels ❤
I also have a light purple lipstick on my lips! To unify the makeup look with the eyes!
As you can see, this look really intensifies the look of my green eyes. I used a black liquid eyeliner on my top lid, with a pretty heavy application. Then I used a purple eyeliner and smudged it out on my under eye area. I finished the look with an eyelash curler and black mascara.
Please leave me any suggestions for more makeup looks, I would love to read your feedback 🙂 Thanks xoxo

(PARIS) Alexander McQueen
Great things often come in small packages. Such was the case for Sarah Burton's magnificent but petite collection for Alexander McQueen. Staged at the Opéra Comique before a selected list of 150 VIP onlookers, just ten looks held court against the backdrop of the venue's ornate gilded interior. While Burton's maternity leave might have shrunk the size of the collection, it certainly didn't diminish the grandeur. The theme? Burton looked to ecclesiastical wardrobes like communion gowns and nun habits, but the looks were anything but demure. Voluminous hoop skirts, cinched corseted waists, puff sleeves, and beaded diadems that caged the faces were paired with millstone collars that were the de rigueur neck ornamentation of the era. All of the above were in the mix, looking like they'd marched straight off the canvas of a Renaissance painting. One gown with an intricately beaded gold corset had a giant hoop skirt and lengthy bell sleeves, accented with a faint golden lattice pattern. Another frock was comprised of pure white off-the-shoulder lace, ruffled and finished off with a hoop skirt and a metallic corset cinching in the waist. On the pieds? White and silver studded boots. Edgy! All of the romantique McQueen costume dramatics were there; not to be left out was the late designer's divinely dark taste for all things macabre. See: Studded (or perhaps beaded to resemble studs) mini-corset dresses that fell into long trains in the back with harness-like straps and beaded fishnets will likely swath tapis rouge royalty at the much gabbed-about upcoming punk-themed Met Ball. Although this collection was inspired by nuns and all things religieuse, its lavish regal air suggested it would be better fit for a queen.

Home | Academics | Our Schools | Conservatory of Performing Arts | Conservatory News & Features
Dance alumni from left to right: Mia Angelini, Allie Kronick, Marlana Doyle, Patti Hogan, Kiki Lucas and Terrill Mitchell.
Six Conservatory of Performing Arts alumni are working for Houston Metropolitan Dance Company, a contemporary repertory dance company in Houston, Texas.
Below, the Point Park graduates discuss why they chose the COPA dance program, share their experiences as a student and offer career advice to aspiring dancers.
Marlana Doyle, 2001B.A. in dance, jazz concentrationArtistic Director
"You have four years to mature as an artist and as a person. Work your hardest, use your connections and take advantage of any opportunities that are there. I encourage my students in Houston to apply to Point Park University and to the Summer Dance Workshop. I am proud that I went to Point Park and of the successful graduates. I am constantly hiring alumni because I trust what the school produces as a committed dancer."
Terrill Mitchell, 2007B.A. in dance, jazz concentrationCompany Member
"Point Park's training opened my eyes to the real world and prepared me with what to expect after graduation, how to conduct myself and to remain versatile regardless of my strengths and weaknesses. I loved that Point Park is a small school and gave a lot of individual focus. The advice that I have for students today is to never assume you deserve a job or come in feeling entitled. The hard work hasn't even begun until after college."
Kiki Lucas, 1999B.A. in dance, jazz concentrationResident Choreographer
"I chose Point Park University because there were so many students that I looked up to in classes before mine. I was also influenced to attend by Professor Jodi Welch, who is my teacher and mentor."
Allie Kronick, 2010B.A. in dance, dual concentration in jazz and modernCompany Member
"My advice to today's students would be to take advantage of the many different teachers and styles of dance offered in the program. Push yourself, talk to your teachers and choreographers about their own experiences, and try to become as well-rounded as possible so that you are ready for anything in the real world. Be a sponge, because at the end of the four years you will get out of the program exactly what you have put into it."
Mia Angelini, 2012B.F.A. in dance, jazz concentrationTrainee
"My favorite experience at Point Park was becoming so close to my peers and being able to share dance with them every day. I would recommend Point Park because I feel that in the four years I was there I became a completely different dancer and a person. It was important to me to allow a great amount of room for change, while still staying true to who I am, and my experiences at Point Park followed through with that idea."
Patti Hogan, 2012B.A. in dance, jazz concentrationTrainee
"I chose Point Park because of the range of talented and intelligent faculty, the city environment of the campus and the success rates of graduating seniors. Point Park prepares you for the real world. You will train with choreographers from all around the world and you are expected to be no less professional than a dancer in a professional dance company. Point Park also creates multiple performance opportunities throughout your career at the school. It is all up to you how hard you want to work to be in these pieces, or be in the classes that you want to be in."

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner's resignation speech on Friday was the tipping point for a city parks employee who filed a claim against Filner today, saying he grabbed her from behind, put her into a headlock and rubbed her breasts at a city park.
"It was the last straw, his speech, and the way he downplayed and diminished and pretty much disregarded his own actions against all of us by saying it was just awkwardness or hubris," said Stacy McKenzie, a parks manager who has been with the city for 32 years.
In his speech on Friday, Filner denied sexually harassing anyone and said he had no intention to "violate any physical or emotional space."
"I was trying to establish personal relationships but the combination of awkwardness and hubris I think led to behavior that many found offensive," Filner said.
The announcement of Filner's resignation, effective this Friday, came after six weeks of intense scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct.
According to McKenzie, Filner approached her on April 21 at the Clairemont Day at the Bay event at Mission Bay Park. He grabbed her hands and asked her for a date, she said. She backed away, but he pursued her across the park.
"I'm a personable person. I'm not easily offended with people getting into my space, but coming behind me with the headlock and clamping my hands was just absolutely over the top," McKenzie said.
McKenzie's claim for $500,000 is a precursor to a lawsuit. It names two witnesses to the behavior by Filner.
U-T Watchdog, which broke the story of her claim early this morning, has contacted the mayor's office and city attorney's office for comment.
The claim states, "At a public event, claimant's supervisor, Bob Filner, battered claimant for his own sexual gratification, by placing her in a headlock, rubbing his body against hers, rubbing his elbow against her breasts, rubbing her arm, and holding her hands, all without consent, after asking her on a date."
The claim alleges battery and gender violence, sexual harassment, and negligence by the city because of "negligent training, supervision, and failure to protect and warn against Filner's predatory nature."
According to the settlement terms Filner and the City Council reached on Friday, City Attorney Jan Goldsmith's office will provide a joint legal defense of Filner and the city for claims filed for Filner's alleged conduct in his capacity as mayor "made by current or former employees."
The City Council also last week agreed to cover up to $98,000 of Filner's outside legal fees.
Although nearly 20 women have come forward, only one has filed a lawsuit, former Filner communications director Irene McCormack Jackson. She and two others have previously filed complaints with the state. McKenzie 's is the first known claim to be filed with the city.
McCormack Jackson said that Filner barraged her with a series of sexually suggestive comments like "I would do a better job if you kissed me," "When are you going to get naked?" and "Wouldn't it be great if you took off your panties and worked without them on?"
McCormack Jackson, a former U-T editor and former Port of San Diego executive, took a $50,000 pay cut to join Filner's staff because she said she was excited about his vision for the city. What she found instead, she said, was "an atmosphere where women were viewed by Mayor Filner as sexual objects or stupid idiots."Copyright © 2019, The San Diego Union-Tribune

How we are different
Experienced Physicians
Abortion Pill Clinic
Legal Abortion Clinic by Pill 3 to 24 Weeks
At Legal Abortion by Pill Clinic, we know that there are many legal and political issues that surround abortion. This website is intended not only to give you abortion facts that most people do not know about the history of abortion, but with hopes to give people who agree or disagree with abortion reasons why it should never be illegal again. We are an abortion clinic providing performing medical (abortion pill, ru486 pills) and surgical abortion services, well woman care and reproductive services in Florida since 1996. At Legal Abortion By Pill clinics we provide surgical abortion procedures, medical abortions, and early abortions are performed from 3 weeks, up to 24 weeks, in our safe, comfortable, relaxed, state-of-the-art medical offices in several convenient locations in Florida. All of our Physicians have Florida State Medical Licenses and possess a superb experience in performing ultrasounds and abortion procedures.
Our Florida abortion clinics provide legal, safe early medical and surgical abortion procedures, first trimester, second trimester and late term medical and surgical pregnancy terminations. Our abortion pill (non-surgical, pills for abortion, medical abortion, chemical abortion, early option pill abortion, RU486 abortion pills) abortion procedure can be performed in the first, second or late trimester of pregnancy. We use different forms of IV sedation which include regular IV sedation, Advanced IV sedation, Deep IV Sedation and General Anesthesia. We are one of the first in the country to use Advanced IV Sedation with medication that is quick acting and leaves the body in 30 minutes or less. The advantage is that patients are able to drive themselves to and from the office without an escort. No other facilities in the area offer this form of anesthesia. Patients are able to resume their normal activities as soon as they leave the medical office. It allows for a 3 minute, safe and pain free abortion to be carried out.
Medical, Chemical, Abortion Pill, RU486 or Non-Surgical Abortion
3-24 Weeks Gestation
Our Legal Abortion by Pill Clinic abortion clinics located in Orlando (2 sites), Tampa, Ocala, and Ft. Lauderdale, Florida not only perform surgical and medical abortions using RU486 abortive pills (Mifeprex, mifepristone, chemical abortion, non-surgical abortion, abortion by pill, abortion pills, French Pill), Methotrexate and cytotec (misoprostol) for early abortions of 3 to 9 weeks gestation in the first trimester of pregnancy, but RU486 can be used to perform medical abortions (non-surgical) in early and late second trimester abortions and late term abortions due to the ability of the abortion pill (RU486) to cause an increase in intrauterine pressure and uterine contractions which is how we provide women who are undergoing second trimester and late term abortion one of the safest and most efficient way of terminating a pregnancy which usually can be completed in less than 24 hours when other facilities take two to three days. We have been performing early abortion procedures both surgically and medically for over 15 years. Women often choose the medical abortion because it can be performed in the privacy of the home with their supporting partner, and feel it is a more private, personal option.
In our abortion clinics in Florida, we are committed to treat every woman with superior care, compassion and for all women to maintain their dignity. We maintain all patients privacy and confidentiality. Having an abortion involves ethical, moral, religious, social, family, age, and financial thought. It is one of the most difficult times in a patients life. We perform abortions using the most recent surgical procedures, using the state of the art medical diagnostic machines and the latest in medications that allow the abortion procedure to be done safely and efficiently. This allows us to have an Extremely Low Complication Rate.
Our gynecological services include Well Woman Exams, Pap Smears, Pelvic Exams, STD testing including, School Examinations, Pregnancy and STD prevention, birth control, Free Pregnancy Testing, Emergency Contraception (morning after pill), Counseling for Third Trimester Abortion, and immunizations (vaccinations) for children and adults.
Extremely Low Complication Rate:
We are proud of our excellent patient safety records and extremely low complication rates. We take extra steps to provide additional measures of safety for our patients. We perform ultrasound on all our patients before surgery and on a case by case basis during, and after the abortion to ensure the safety and completeness of the procedure. The RU486 side effects (Mifepristone, Mifeprex) and surgical abortion side effects are minimal. We also perform ultrasounds on patients who return to our offices for their three week check up if they still have a positive pregnancy test. Five to seven percent of the patients who undergo a termination can have a positive pregnancy test for up to 6 weeks after an abortion procedure.

Photo Maps is a Windows Phone 8 photography app that mixes your images with a map detailing the location of the photo. Photo Maps isn't like Image Map where your photos are mapped out based on where they were taken. Instead, Photo Maps lets you take a photo and adds small Bing map of your location to the image.
Maps choices can be set from within Photo Maps' settings and you can choose between road, aerial, hybrid and terrain map views. Camera controls are rather limited in that you can only turn on/off the flash and toggle between the rear/front cameras from within the app.
Once captured the image is saved to your Windows Phone Pictures Hub. Sharing the image is a little odd in that a back arrow is displayed at the top of the screen which will send you to your Pictures Hub gallery page. From there you go into the Camera Roll gallery and tap the mapped photo. In doing so it pulls up your sharing options. I couldn't help but think there could have been an easier way to share the mapped photos.
Photo Maps isn't something you'll use every day but say you need to remember where a house you are considering buying/renting is or need to send someone directions to a restaurant. You can snap a picture and combine a visual landmark with a map of the area to help you or friends find their way.
There is a free trial version of Photo Maps to let you try things out before buying. The full version will run you $1.49 and you can find Photo Maps here at the Windows Phone Store. Keep in mind that Photo Maps requires Windows Phone 8 and is only available for devices such as the Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC 8X.

Rumor has it that T-Mobile is planning a vacation blackout on its employees between September 20 and September 22. This could be in relation to whatever Samsung is announcing in Berlin next week, but more likely we'd punch for something a little closer to home. David Beren of TmoNews:
"I'm hearing whispers T-Mobile is planning blackout dates between September 20th and 22nd. Like all good rumors, we should take this with the standard "subject to change" warning but my sources suggest this could be iPhone related."
If Apple holds to pattern, September 20 is exactly when we'd be expecting the iPhone 5s and 5C to go on sale following a September 10 launch event. The question isn't whether or not they're just being jerks to their staff, it's what they might be acting upon. Is the blackout based upon actual, insider carrier information about the launch of the new iPhones, or is it just a case of hedging bets based on the ever churning rumor mills?
On behalf of T-Mobile employees everywhere, we hope it's the first one.
Source: TmoNews
Update: AppleInsider reports that Apple is blocking employees who work on AppleCare support from taking vacations from September 15th through the 28th. The implication is that AppleCare employees will have their hands full from mid-September onward, presumably helping customers that have ordered new iPhones and those that will be upgrading to iOS 7.
