-1.469151 | 2.566279 | 54 | Monogamous Animals Often Have Unattractive Partners Red-headed
Gouldian finches are more aggressive than black-headed males and
are not as good at providing parental care. - Constrained mate
choice in social monogamy means that many individuals wind up
with unattractive partners. - "Unattractiveness" is likely tied
to genetic compatibility, which can include behavior factors. -
Females paired with unattractive males have increased stress
hormone levels, which may drive cheating and breakups. In
socially monogamous species, from birds to humans, most
individuals find partners. A large proportion of females,
however, wind up with unattractive males of below-average
quality, according to a new study that also found such less-
than-ideal relationships raise female stress levels. The
findings negate prior theories that, in monogamous species
throughout the animal kingdom, each female has a good chance of
pairing with a male that matches her ideal choice of partner.

Police Chief Scott E. Hockenberry, having heard the community

statement: "I've known Scott for 15 years. He is an excellent
public servant. The entire situation is rather pathetic. There
are now people making statements to the media who are making

the township provided no specific reason or incident to justify
his termination. When people make uninformed statements like

assumptions? Among them is that the chief's firing is related
to a photo showing Hockenberry, in civilian clothing, next to a

too big with Mega phone? TORONTO - When Samsung released its
big, boundary-pushing Galaxy Note smartphone in Canada early
last year it drew sniggers and ridicule for designing a device
with such a large 5.3-inch display. Who would want to be seen
in public holding such an enormously large phone to their face?
critics snickered. Depending on their age and pop cultural
background, many wiseguys likened the Galaxy Note to the clunky
1980s mobile handsets immortalized by Gordon Gecko in the film
"Wall Street" and Zack Morris on the Saturday morning pre-teen

than 10 million units of that phone and millions more of the

later. Having found that there's a market for mammoth mobile

unjustified terror, which paralyses needed efforts to convert

define our reaction (overreaction?) to the September 2001
tragedy, it is fear. Murderous, unseen enemies lurk in the

with the credit_default_swaps tag In the past year the Union
Cycliste International (UCI), the governing body of professional
cycling, has been in the process of rolling out their biological
passport program in hopes of catching drug cheats. The
biological passport program represents a huge change in
direction on the war against drugs. The UCI realized that
artificially increasing the oxygen carrying capacity of blood is
the single most effective way to cheat in endurance sports so
they have developed a programs to monitor cyclist's blood
carrying capacity. Basically, the biological passport program
uses a rider's blood, collected in out-of-competition and in-
competition tests to develop a profile of their "normal" blood
values. Cyclists will be tested randomly throughout the year and
if their blood profile strays outside a statistically
significant range they may be subject to sanction. What makes

Player Review Former staff writer - July 10, 2004 Closer
Look (Cont.) Moving on, the Yepp itself has a whole load of
features (as you can see above). One of the most interesting
ones is the ability to encode on the fly. This is done from a
variety of sources. First, you can encode from FM radio, which I
personally find fantastic (there's a 4 hour continuous DJ spin
on one of the local radio stations here) The file is encoded and
placed in a seperate folder, which unfortunately means you
cannot listen to it right away, but needs to be moved around on
your computer first. Similarly, you can encode (with the Line
cable) from another audio source - if someone else has an

Ants with hundreds of tiny eyes Q: How long does it take for
sunlight to reach Pluto? (Samantha, Mudgee, New South Wales,
Australia) A. A beam of light blasts off the Sun at midnight,
Earth time (00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time, UTC) and soars
outward. Passing each planet in turn, it zips by Earth in about
8 minutes at 00:08:19 UTC and hurtles on at 186 thousand miles
per second (300,000 km/s) for another 320 minutes until it
reaches cold and distant Pluto. About 5:30 in the morning
(05:28:06 UTC), it arrives. That's an average travel time.
Pluto's distance from the Sun averages about 39 times the
distance of Earth from the Sun (a distance unit that is called
an Astronomical Unit, or AU). Pluto's orbit — unlike any of our
other planets — is far from circular. So Pluto's distance from
the Sun varies from about 30 AU to almost 50 AU. Consequently,

it's harder for someone reading the code to tell whether the

two, and someone forgot to update the function) or truly all the
other cases. When you have crisp predicates, I see no excuse
for using else -- it's intellectually sloppy and causes both

Modelers I think a lot of players don't understand the
differences among a DI, a speaker emulator and an amp modeler.
These are commonly-used tools for guitarists who want to play
their instrument "direct to the board", usually in situations
where it's necessary or desirable to minimize stage volume.
Briefly, here's what each unit does: So why would you use each
of these units, and why use one unit in preference to another?
A DI's sole function is to match an unbalanced signal line to a
balanced signal line. Unbalanced lines are common in guitar rigs
because the circuitry needed to drive the line is inexpensive.
The downside of an unbalanced line is that longer cable runs
tend to degrade the signal by attenuating higher frequencies and
by picking up electrical noise (hum and buzz). A balanced line
is designed to overcome these limitations at the expense of
additional cost and complexity in t |

day for U.S. and wider Western diplomacy since records began,"
former British ambassador Charles Crawford asked simply: "How
has this happened?" On the answer, opinions might differ. Or
maybe not. A consensus assessment of the past week's events
could easily form around Oliver Hardy's famous lament to the
compulsive bumbler Stan Laurel : "Here's another nice mess
you've gotten us into!" In the interplay between Barack Obama
and John Kerry, it's not obvious which one is Laurel and which
one is Hardy. But diplomatic slapstick is not funny. No one
wants to live in a Laurel and Hardy presidency. In a Laurel and
Hardy presidency, red lines vanish, shots across the bow are
word balloons, and a display of U.S. power with the whole world
watching is going to be "unbelievably small." The past week was
a perfect storm of American malfunction. Colliding at the center

the Translate system. The system tracks changes in the English

some pages have "Translate this page" in blue above the title -
if you need to translate a page that doesn't yet have that,

-4.230164 | 1.286568 | -1 | Category Archives: Food and race To support my efforts to
produce 30 posts in 30 days for National Blogging Post Month, my
friend Laura Kimball has been providing writing prompts for me
and my fellow blogger, Harmony Hasbrook. Last night, Laura gave
us the following prompt: Smell, the sense that triggers the
richest, most obscure memories during the most awkward times.
Write about a time when a smell triggered a deep or odd memory.
What was the smell? What was the memory? And did that
recollection cause you to do anything in that present moment. I
was completely stymied by this prompt. I had no idea what to
write about. I sifted through memories of a variety of
smells—ranging from pleasant to repugnant—but nothing moved me
to write. Then a faint recollection tugged at me. Continue

holes to secure the backsplash Photo: Kolin Smith To make a
backsplash, cut a piece of particleboard 5½inches wide and as
long as the counter. Do not double up the wood. Laminate this
piece, adhering first the short sides, then the wide face, and
finally the top. Using a caulk gun, run a bead of clear caulk
along the bottom part of the face of the backsplash. Align it
with the back side of the countertop surface, making sure the
bottom edges are flush. Using a drill/driver fitted with a
1½-inch bit, create pilot holes through the backsplash and into
the edge of the countertop every 6 to 8 inches. Drive 1 5/8-inch
screws through the pilot holes. With a wet finger, smooth any
caulk that oozes out. Ask TOH users about Kitchen Countertops

contemplate the mysteries of Bandelier National Monument
Matthew Jaffe Travel planner: where to go in the canyon and
beyond From the cliffs above Frijoles Canyon in Bandelier
National Monument, you can look down on the curving walls and
into the honeycomb-patterned remains of the village of Tyuonyi.
Dating back 800 years, it's the largest of the ancient
structures within this canyon 50 miles northwest of Santa Fe.
Bandelier is justly celebrated as one of the Southwest's most
significant archaeological sites. But it's also a living place
that feels especially vibrant as summer wildflowers bloom and
the monsoon season arrives. Local Pueblo peoples still regard
it as part of their ancestral lands. And the monument's 33,750
acres preserve both the buildings and the natural world of their
forebears, who lived here before abandoning the area nearly 400
years ago. "Visitors come to Bandelier with the idea that the
people who lived here mysteriously vanish |

Lake City International Airport staff is especially sensitive to
those requiring special or individual assistance. Police FAQs
Are airport police different from other police officers? No,
they are not. Airport police officers are sworn peace officers
with full police powers in the state of Utah. Airport police and
the Salt lake City Police Department are separate police
agencies. The airport police officers' primary duty is to patrol
airport property, however, they are empowered by state law to
take action outside of their designated patrol area if there is
an immediate danger to a person's safety, or if they observe a
crime in progress. How do I request a report? Make an on-line
request at Call 801-575-2470 during business hours and you will
be put in contact with a person who can assist you. Who can I
call if I have a question or complaint about police procedures?
