Jerome David Ambelang
MADISON - Jerry Ambelang, The Capital Times newspaper reporter known for his "Ambling with Ambelang" column that chronicled the life, growth and progress of Dane County, has died of respiratory failure. He died Friday at Meriter Hospital at the age of 83 after a brief illness that began with pneumonia.
Ambelang retired from The Capital Times in 1998 after 39 years with the paper. He started on the wire desk under the paper's managing editor, and served as its state editor in the late 1970s and early 80s. He worked under each of only four editors--William T Evjue, Miles McMillin, Elliott Maraniss and Dave Zweifel.
Ambelang spent most of his career on the road, covering everything from murders--three women in separate attacks in the summer of '87; to natural disasters--the tornadoes that killed nine residents and leveled 90 percent of Barneveld in June 1984; to elections, protests, school issues; and of course the people stories.
And it was the people stories, lots of people stories--farmers, mayors, firefighters, artists, kids and dogs --that made Ambelang so popular with the paper's readers displaying a common touch with uncommon flair.
Growing up in Cascade, Wisconsin (population 680) the youngest of five children of George and Lucinda Ambelang --barber and teacher respectively. God, family, country was hard wired in his DNA from his German, French and Dutch parents--who demanded hard work and encouraged education. Ambelang became a standout high school athlete and scholar--and turned to the Navy to make his college education a reality.
Upon graduation from Plymouth High School in June 1946, Ambelang entered the Navy V-5 Program completing an Engineering curriculum, Pre-Flight training and Naval Air Basic Training at the US Naval School, Pensacola, FL. Midshipman Ambelang completed Advanced Training in combat type aircraft and final aircraft carrier qualifications in fighter style planes--earning him the Navy wings of gold as a Naval Aviator. Ambelang was assigned to the USS Midway --fighter squadron 61 which was deployed in the Mediterranean.
After his Navy service, Ambelang earned a Bachelors of Arts Degree in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Madison class of 1956.
While in the Navy Ambelang courted and wed Mary Carol Schaller. Their wedding date June 16 was shared by both Mary's parents --Arthur and Ann--and her daughter Jane Gilbertson. Their four children Jay Arthur, Joy Ann, Jonathan Jerome and Jane Adele were raised on Regent Street in the shadow of Camp Randall, educated by the Dominicans of Blessed Sacrament and Edgewood High School, and "national school of excellence" Madison West and home schooled on the progressive politics of their parents. Like their father-- the children graduated from UW-Madison. Both were parental role models and very active in church activities. They nurtured and took care of each other until Mary passed in 2002 watching Badger Basketball.
It was Jerry's deep faith that helped him deal with the loss of his beloved Mary. And it was through his involvement at Blessed Sacrament that he would be blessed with a late life loving relationship with Barbara Gene Cahill, who shared his deep faith and family values.
Jerry's real legacy is his extended family. His kids: Jay and Mary Jo (Quinn), Joy and David Amundson, Jon and Kathryn (Taylor), Jane Gilbertson; Their kids: Kyle Gilbertson, JD and Taylor Ambelang, Sean and Joy (McCoy) Amundson, Stef and Michael Soifer; And their kids: Alexis, Kylie, Sydney, Hunter and Mackenzie Amundson; Rylee and Ava Soifer.
The family sends a big thank you to the professional staff of All Saints Assisted Living and Meriter Hospital for the kindness, patience and Christian values afforded Jerry while in their care. We are truly grateful and feel privileged to have had you in our lives.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11AM on Wednesday, January 16, 2013, at BLESSED SACRAMENT CATHOLIC CHURCH, 2131 Rowley Ave, Madison, with Father Deporres Durham presiding. Visitation will be held from 5PM to 7PM on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at JOYCE-RYAN FUNERAL HOME, 5701 Odana Road, and also from 10AM until time of Mass on Wednesday at the church. Burial will take place at Resurrection Catholic Cemetery.

Surprise visitor: Rare Bromeliad BoaThu, 12/13/2012 - 09:49 — admin
A couple of nights ago we had a surprise visitor next to our restaurant. A beautiful bromeliad boa (Ungaliophis panamensis) was resting calmly on a large leaf. Contrary to what its name would probably suggest, this snake is actually not part of the "Boa family" (Boidae) but is the only member of the dwarf boas (Tropidophiidae) family here in Costa Rica. Little is known about these little snakes (up to 60 cms long), they occupy a range of habitats from lowland rainforest to highland pine-oak forests to cloud forests.

Visitors looking at the 'Taking Stock: New Acquisitions 2000-2010' exhibition. Photo ©Fennell Photography
Press Release: March 2010
Taking Stock: Acquisitions 2000-201013 March - 25 July 2010Admission free.
A decade of acquisitions at the National Gallery of Ireland will be showcased in an exhibition demonstrating the development and enhancement of the European and Irish collections in recent years. Taking Stock: Acquisitions 2000-2010 will bring together over 100 paintings, prints and drawings reflecting the growth in different areas of the Gallery's collection. It will feature additions by notable European masters, dating from the seventeenth to the early twentieth century, among them Guercino, Boucher, van Gogh, Renoir, Bonnard, Pechstein and Feininger, complemented by a range of important works by many of the most sought-after Irish artists, Thomas Roberts, John Lavery, William Orpen, Jack B. Yeats, Louis le Brocquy and William Scott. On view in the Beit Wing and the Print Gallery from 13 March until 25 July 2010, the exhibition is the first major show dedicated to acquisitions since 1988.
Co-ordinated by Adrian Le Harivel, Curator of British Painting and editor of the accompanying catalogue, the works for the exhibition have been selected by the Gallery curators, each of whom has composed the individual commentaries in the catalogue (price €19.95, Gallery Shop).
"In recent years, there has been a focus on strengthening the area of the collection dating to post 1870, the period in which the Gallery was perceived to be weakest", says Raymond Keaveney, Director of the National Gallery. To this end, the Gallery has been fortunate in acquiring works by Pierre Bonnard, Gustave Caillebotte, Hermann Max Pechstein, Gabriele Münter and the American-born artist, Lyonel Feininger, whose striking composition, Umpferstedt III (1919) will be on view for the first time since it was acquired in New York, in 2008.
Also, the Irish collection has matured significantly over the past decade with the purchase of outstanding paintings and drawings many of which will be featured in this show: Hugh Douglas Hamilton, Cupid and Psyche, (c.1792), which is a study in pen and ink for the famous oil painting in the Gallery; Adam Buck, Portrait of the Edgeworth Family of County Longford (1787); Daniel Maclise, Portrait of John Francis Maguire (1827); Paul Henry, A Connemara Village (1933-34); Mainie Jellett, Single Element (1927); George Collie, The Midday Meal (c.1927). The exhibition will feature a number of works by William Orpen including Lady with a Birdcage (1900-1905); his study for the Western Wedding (c.1914), and his engaging portrait of the famous tenor, Count John McCormack (1923), which was purchased in London in 2009. Most recently the Gallery acquired a key work by William Scott, Frying Pan, Eggs and Napkin (1950).
As this exhibition will demonstrate, the generosity of benefactors and patrons continue to be pivotal in the development of the collection: "It is incontestable that most of the Gallery's greatest treasures have been acquired by way of gift", says Raymond Keaveney.
In this context, it is worth noting that on view in this exhibition will be the first Italian masterpiece purchased by Sir Denis Mahon in 1934, Guercino's Jacob Blessing the Sons of Joseph (1620), which is one of eight wonderful Baroque canvases gifted to the Gallery by the eminent scholar and collector. Another distinguished benefactor is Lady Clementine Beit, who, in 2000, presented JMW Turner's beautiful watercolour, The Castellated Rhine (c.1837).
Reflecting on the prominent role played by gifts to this show, Raymond Keaveney notes: "whilst purchases undoubtedly contribute to the enrichment of a collection, gifts have the capacity to transform beyond the reach of public institutions, especially in the light of the prices which outstanding masterpieces command on the market."
The exhibition will demonstrate how the introduction of tax incentives has benefited the collection since the turn of the Millennium. Section 1003 of the Taxes Consolidation Act (1997), in addition to the resources made available under the Heritage Fund (2001), contributed significantly to the enrichment of the collection: "The availability of tax relief for donations has made it possible to recover important items of our national patrimony which left the country in years gone by due to economic and other pressures on the original owners, says Raymond Keaveney.
Among the most significant works acquired under these schemes were Louis le Brocquy's A Family (1951) which was exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1956; two marvellous paintings by Dutch seventeenth-century artists, Gerard van Honthorst, Music Party (1615-18) and Aelbert Cuyp, Landscape with a Portrait of a Youth and a Tutor on Horseback (c.1650-52), which historically belonged to Lord Charlemont and the Duke of Leinster respectively. This was followed in 2007 by the gift of a rare Irish family group portrait of the Fitzgeralds of Turlough Park, Co. Mayo (1784) by Johann Zoffany.
The exhibition, Taking Stock: Acquisitions 2000-2010, will be on view in the National Gallery of Ireland from 13 March until 25 July 2010. Admission is free.
There will also be a free audio guide to the show, complemented by a programme of talks and tours from March to May.

Did you know that actor Kyle MacLachlan (of Twin Peaks and Portlandia fame) makes wine? I didn't, so when I saw this Gilt Groupe ad for his sweet, sweet nectar last Friday, I nearly lost my shit. There he was, just peering through the leaves as if to say, "OHAI, Diane. Agent Dale Cooper here. I just made you some delicious wine, NBD, perhaps you'd like to drink it." It wasn't long before a few folks on Tumblr turned this ridiculous picture into a meme by 'shopping him into places where he didn't belong (OR DID HE?), and we wanted to get in on the fun. I have yet to meet a meme that can't be improved by his gracefully aging, handsome, wise, wonderful, glorious face. More

I have a 10 month old lab who has good obedience and marks singles. Just wondering if I should ff or cc first.
Collar condition first. You'll want to use your collar as a transition from ear pinch and probably then go right into walking fetch and force to the pile. You don't want to stop in the middle of that progression to do cc.

First dog or 101st... If you are using the collar at all for anything prior to FF, obedience for instance, the dog should be CC to the four actions of come, stay, go and no, to be used in conjunction with this training .
When you get to FF you can then add fetch to the list

Thanks for the help.
I don't understand why you would FF first? Shouldn't the dog understand turning pressure off (including collar pressure) before you FF? Not arguing with how anyone else does it, just curious what methods are used if you FF before CC.....
I collar condition at about 4-5 months and FF when time allows after that. Currently running a pup that was CCed at 4+ months and FFed at 12 months, after our hunting season closed down and winter set in. So I guess, to answer your question....Collar Condition and then Force Fetch works for me. Don

4.1: Atoms
Lesson Objectives
- Explain the law of conservation of mass, the law of definite proportions, and the law of multiple proportions.
- Describe John Dalton's atomic theory.
Lesson Vocabulary
- atom
- law of conservation of mass
- law of definite proportions
- law of multiple proportions
Early Atomic Models
Democritus was a Greek philosopher who lived from 460 B.C. until 370 B.C. He was among the first known individuals to suggest the idea of the atom as the basic unit of matter. The word atom comes from the Greek word atomos, meaning "indivisible." Democritus (see Figure below) was indeed ahead of his time, but his ideas were not useful at that time in describing chemical behavior because there was no experimental evidence to support it. His approach was a philosophical one rather than a truly scientific one. Many centuries would pass before the notion of atoms was merged with modern scientific experimentation and thought.
Democritus believed that all matter consisted of tiny, indestructible particles called atoms.
Beginnings of Atomic Theory
By the late 1700s, chemists had accepted the definition of an element as a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by ordinary chemical means. It was also clear that elements combine with one another to form more complex substances called compounds. The chemical and physical properties of these compounds are different than the properties of the elements from which they were formed. There was some disagreement, however, about whether elements always combined in exactly the same ratio when forming a particular compound.
In the 1790s, a greater emphasis began to be placed on the quantitative analysis of chemical reactions. Accurate and reproducible measurements of the masses of reacting elements and the compounds that they form led to the formulation of several basic laws. One of these is called the law of conservation of mass, which states that during a chemical reaction, the total mass of the products must be equal to the total mass of the reactants. In other words, mass cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction, but must always be conserved.
The law of conservation of mass is demonstrated in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5hM1DxaPLw (1:05).
The discovery that mass is always conserved in chemical reactions was soon followed by the law of definite proportions, which states that a given chemical compound always contains the same elements in the exact same proportions by mass. As an example, any sample of pure water contains 11.19% hydrogen and 88.81% oxygen by mass. It does not matter where the sample of water came from or how it was prepared. Its composition, like that of every other compound, is fixed (Figure below).
Regardless of its source or its form (solid, liquid, or gas), water always has the exact same elemental composition: 11.19% of its mass is hydrogen and 88.81% of its mass is oxygen.
Experiments also began to demonstrate that the same pairs of certain elements could combine to form more than one compound. Consider the elements carbon and oxygen. Combined in one way, they form the familiar compound called carbon dioxide. In every sample of carbon dioxide, there is 32.0 g of oxygen present for every 12.0 g of carbon. By dividing 32.0 by 12.0, this simplifies to an oxygen/carbon mass ratio of 2.66 to 1. Another compound that forms from the combination of carbon and oxygen is called carbon monoxide. Every sample of carbon monoxide contains 16.0 g of oxygen for every 12.0 g of carbon, which simplifies to an oxygen/carbon mass ratio of 1.33 to 1. In other words, a given mass of carbon needs to combine with exactly twice as much oxygen to make carbon dioxide as it would to produce carbon monoxide. Figure below illustrates the law of multiple proportions. Whenever the same two elements form more than one compound, the different masses of one element that combine with the same mass of the other element are in the ratio of small whole numbers.
Carbon monoxide, on the left, contains 1.333 g of oxygen for every 1 g of carbon. Carbon dioxide, on the right, contains 2.666 g of oxygen for every gram of carbon. The ratio of oxygen in these two compounds is 1:2, which is a ratio of small whole numbers.
Sample Problem 4.1: Calculating Mass Ratios
Copper reacts with chlorine to form two compounds. Compound A contains 4.08 g of copper for every 2.28 g of chlorine. Compound B contains 7.53 g of copper for every 8.40 g of chlorine. What is the lowest whole number mass ratio of copper that combines with a given mass of chlorine?
Step 1: List the known quantities and plan the problem.
- Compound A = 4.08 g Cu and 2.28 g Cl
- Compound B = 7.53 g Cu and 8.40 g Cl
Apply the law of multiple proportions to the two compounds. For each compound, find the grams of copper that combine with 1.00 g of chlorine by dividing the mass of copper by the mass of chlorine. Then, find the ratio of the masses of copper in the two compounds by dividing the larger value by the smaller value.
Step 2: Calculate.
Compare the masses of copper per gram of chlorine in the two samples.
The mass ratio of copper per gram of chlorine in the two compounds is 2:1.
Step 3: Think about your result.
The ratio is a small whole-number ratio. For a given mass of chlorine, compound A contains twice the mass of copper as does compound B.
Dalton's Atomic Theory
In 1808, an English chemist and schoolteacher named John Dalton (1766-1844) formulated an atomic theory based on the law of conservation of mass, the law of definite proportions, and the law of multiple proportions. His theory can be summarized in the following statements, illustrated in Figure below.
- All matter is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.
- Atoms of the same element are identical in terms of size, mass, and other properties. Atoms of one element are different from the atoms of any other element.
- Atoms of different elements can chemically combine with one another in simple whole-number ratios to form chemical compounds.
- Chemical reactions can be described as the separation, combination, or rearrangement of atoms. Atoms of one element cannot be changed into atoms of a different element as a result of a chemical reaction.
Dalton's atomic theory states that chemical reactions are due to rearrangements of atoms. On the left, hydrogen molecules are shown as two H atoms, while oxygen molecules are shown as two O atoms. The chemical reaction forms water as the atoms rearrange. There are identical numbers of hydrogen and oxygen atoms before and after the reaction.
Sizes of Atoms
The graphite in your pencil is composed of the element carbon. Imagine taking a small piece of carbon and grinding it until it is a fine dust. Each speck of carbon would still have all of the physical and chemical properties of carbon. Now imagine that you could somehow keep dividing the speck of carbon into smaller and smaller pieces. Eventually, you would reach a point where your carbon sample is as small as it could possibly be. This final particle is called an atom, which is defined as the smallest particle of an element that retains the properties of that element.
Atoms, as you probably know, are extremely small. In fact, the graphite in an ordinary pencil contains about 5 × 1020 atoms of carbon. This is an almost incomprehensibly large number. The population of the entire Earth is about 7 × 109 people, meaning that there are about 7 × 1010 times as many carbon atoms in your pencil as there are people on the Earth! For this to be true, atoms must be extremely small. Can we see atoms? It's not easy, but a modern instrument called a scanning tunneling microscope allows scientists to visualize the atom, as shown in Figure below.
Images of individual gold atoms can be seen on the surface of a smooth sheet of gold metal using scanning tunneling microscopy.
Lesson Summary
- The Greek philosopher Democritus believed that matter is composed of indivisible and indestructible building blocks, which he called atoms.
- John Dalton transformed the ideas of Democritus into a scientific atomic theory, which began to explain the law of conservation of mass, the law of definite proportions, and the law of multiple proportions.
- Matter cannot be created or destroyed in chemical reactions.
- Elements react to form compounds in fixed proportions by mass.
- Elements combine with one another in simple whole-number ratios.
- An atom is the smallest unit of an element that retains the properties of that element.
Lesson Review Questions
- Describe the contribution of Democritus to modern atomic theory.
- What happens to the total mass of a system during a chemical reaction?
- What does "fixed composition" mean with regard to chemical compounds?
- What law explains the relationships between different chemical compounds that contain only the elements carbon and oxygen?
- What are the four essential points of Dalton's atomic theory?
Apply Concepts
- Alchemy is an ancient tradition that predated the modern science of chemistry. One goal of the alchemist was to change base metals such as iron or lead into valuable metals such as gold or silver. Explain, using Dalton's theory, why alchemists were unable to do this.
Think Critically
- If an atom of element A has a mass of 2 units, while an atom of element B has a mass of 5 units, what would be the ratio of element A to element B in a compound that had a mass of 11 units?
- Sulfur reacts with oxygen to form two compounds. Compound A consists of 1.89 g of sulfur for every 1.89 g of oxygen. Compound B consists of 3.72 g of sulfur for every 5.57 g of oxygen. What is the lowest whole number mass ratio of sulfur that combines with a given mass of oxygen?
- Hydrocarbons are a class of organic compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen. Methane, an important hydrocarbon fuel, has a carbon/hydrogen mass ratio of 3:1. An 80-g sample of a hydrocarbon compound is analyzed and found to contain 64 g of carbon. Is the hydrocarbon sample methane? Explain.
- The mass of 6.02 × 1023 atoms of iron is 55.85 g. What is the mass of one atom of iron?

When trying to explain why young people take their own lives, some research indicates a correlation between high risk behaviors – such as sexual activity and drug use – with higher suicide rates. Other studies cite increases in youth depression.
Risk factors for suicidal behavior can include feelings of hopelessness or isolation, having a parent with a mood disorder, substance abuse, history of physical or sexual abuse, school or work problems and chronic physical illness.
Warning signs can include statements such as, "I won't be a problem for you much longer." Talking about suicide, refusing help, not tolerating praise or reward, complaining about being a "bad" person and giving away favorite possessions also can foretell suicide.
If a teen in your family, classroom or youth agency is exhibiting these warning signs, stay with that individual and ask direct questions that can help that person express their feelings. Focus on the present, not the past or the future. Remain calm, and seek help from a doctor or a mental health professional.

As a huge country music fan, I co-founded CountryMusicIsLove.com in July 2008 in order to give fans a place to stay connected to country music and the artists that they love. My favorite country acts include Jason Aldean, Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney and Lady Antebellum, and although I immerse myself in the country world, my tastes aren't limited to the music that comes from Nashville. If it's good music, I'll listen to it, no matter what genre it comes from.
When I'm not listening to, dancing along with, traveling for, or writing about country music, I can usually be found at the ballpark with my two kids. My kids, music, and sports are quite easily the three loves of my life.
These are the most read, shared and discussed blog posts on GRAMMY.com right now.

Auditing Folder Access in Windows
I've got a client who wants to audit users' attempts to access directories they shouldn't on Windows 2003 servers. Of course, he has enable auditing object access for the specific directories, and the 560 "Failed" events start showing up in the Event Log.
The problem is, lots of unexpected failure events show up too--apparently Windows Explorer is doing "drive-by" peeks at the other folders nearby the one you're accessing?
Let me explain: If I'm auditing some of the folders under \\server\users, e.g. \\server\users\dontgohere, and I login and browse to \\server\users\myusername, then look in the Security Event Log, I will see at least 3 #560 "Failed" events saying that I just tried to read the folder \\server\users\dontgohere!
Presumably, this is because Windoze is looking at the folder properties. I assume I can't really do anything to prevent that?
So... my real question is: anyone know a way I can audit when people are really trying to access the folder, and avoid the false-alarms caused by the Windows Explorer drive-bys?

In 1910 Walker was commissioned to create a full-size sculpture of Florence Nightingale that would function as the Crimean War Memorial in Waterloo Place, London. This is Walker's small-scale version of the work.
English nurse, hospital reformer and humanitarian, Florence Nightingale (1820–1910) was the founder of trained nursing as a profession for women. She is best known for her tireless work during the Crimean War, when she is said to have revolutionised British military medical care by increasing standards for sanitation and nutrition, thus dramatically reducing mortality rates.

HARTFORD, Conn. Connecticut Sen. Christopher Dodd said Friday that he has been diagnosed with an early stage of prostate cancer and will have surgery in early August, but the prognosis is good and the illness will not affect his plans to seek a sixth term next year.
Dodd said the cancer was detected in June during his annual physical and the results were confirmed by a biopsy. He said he plans to have surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York shortly after Congress adjourns next week and is "very confident we're going to come out of this well."
My question is, isn't he a bit too old for surgery. Since prostate cancer is so slow progressing, shouldn't he be willing to forgo the surgery at his age? The rest of us will likely have to do so.

wow! it looks like jimb is here.
wow! it looks like jimb is here.
the point being that humans are now the dominant species, and so they will naturally fill the available space as long as they fill comfortable. so if you make room, others will take the room. you need to convince more people that lots of room is desirable. until you do that, it doesn't matter at all whether or not you, personally, reproduce.
hacking: no hacking lately. it looks like learning Common Lisp is very detrimental to one's productivity with lesser languages. I don't know what to do about it, in fact -- I'm close to being completely blocked...
well, nah. get some meta-discussion instead:
I really really don't want to see any political discussions on Advogato. I mean, is there any hope (or, in fact, any desire) for a rational discussion of the Middle East situation with an obviously very young and impressionable Egyptian while the rest of the people here either don't care (understandable) or do care but get their facts from CNN and the like?
that was just an example. it would be sad to see a discussion of the US elections or religion, too.
if you have a need to vent about some highly flammable topic, do it on USENET or something. and if you vented here, then yes, be sorry.
I just noticed something and it's very alarming: it seems that my mails/posts to public fora frequently offend people, even though I never intend this. is it the style (not that I have any), or is it some attitude that I manage to hide from myself?
ok, so dan invented a classification for me.
apparently, I'm a sexp-fiend. it kind of fits.
it looks like all of my diary entries will be this informative.

Alternate name: American Painted Lady
Family: Nymphalidae, Brush-footed Butterflies view all from this family
Description The American Painted Lady or American Lady (Vanessa virginiensis) is a butterfly found throughout North America.
Vanessa virginiensis lives in flowery habitats, usually in mountains. The larvae feed on various Asteraceae, especially the cudweeds of genus Gnaphalium. All stages of the life cycle can be found throughout temperate North America as well as Madeira and the Canary Islands. Occasionally individuals can be found as far as south-west Europe.
Vanessa virginiensis is most easily distinguishable by its two large eyespots on the ventral side, whereas V. cardui has four small eyespots and V. annabella has none. V. virginiensis also uniquely features a white dot within the forewing subapical field, set in pink on the underside and usually also in the dorsal side's orange field.
The largest spot in the black forewing tips is white in V. cardui, pale orange in this species, and orange in the West Coast species. The latter also has a purer orange background color of the dorsal side, as opposed to the darker and (especially in V. virginiensis) redder hue of the other two.
A less reliable indicator is the row of black eyespots on the dorsal submarginal hindwing. In the American Painted Lady, those on the opposite ends of the row are often larger and have blue "pupils". In V. annabella, this applies to the inner two spots, while in V. cardui some of the black eyespots may have tiny blue pupils in the summer morph, but usually have none at all, and the eyespots themselves are all roughly the same size. The size of the wings are about 5 cm (2 in) across.
Dimensions The size of the wings are about 5 cm (2 in) across.
Habitat Canyons & caves, Forests & woodlands, Meadows & fields, Cities, suburbs & towns, Freshwater swamps, marshes & bogs, Deserts, Scrub, shrub & brushlands.
Range Mid-Atlantic, Rocky Mountains, Southwest, Florida, Southeast, Great Lakes, California, New England, Eastern Canada, Northwest, Western Canada, Texas, Plains, Alaska.

The California Cancer Registry (CCR) is California's statewide population-based cancer surveillance system. The CCR collects information about all cancers diagnosed in California (except basal and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and carcinoma in situ of the cervix).
In 1985, statewide, population-based cancer reporting was required with the enactment of sections 103875, 103885, and 100330 of the California Health and Safety Code. The CCR is now recognized as one of the leading cancer registries in the world. Due to the size and diversity of the California population, more is now known about the occurrence of cancer in diverse populations than ever before. The CCR has proven to be the cornerstone of a substantial amount of cancer research in the California population.

The PH Professional Network (PHPN) Mentor Program connects non-physician clinicians working with PH patients with a qualified peer who can provide professional mentorship. Mentees may be seeking general guidance and advice on PH-related treatment, care, and research, or seeking specific guidance on a particular topic pertaining to PH. The program is designed to enhance patient care and professional collaboration.
Mentors will be available to answer questions and provide individual support to mentees about a variety of subjects, including:
To apply, all mentees and mentors must fill out an application and submit a photo and CV. Applicants must be PHPN members and meet the guidelines put forth by the Communications Committee. Applications will be reviewed and approved by the PHPN Communications Committee on a rolling basis. Mentees may select preferred mentors after viewing mentor profiles and the Committee will do their best to accommodate their selection; if no options are selected, the committee will determine the best available match.
PHA staff will contact the mentor and mentee to set up a brief call to connect the pair and the Communications Committee Chair. On the call, the mentor and mentee will receive an overview of the program and discuss their preferred mode of communication. They can also schedule any regular communication, if needed. The mentee will then be free to contact the mentor as needed. The mentor will agree to be available to one mentee for a period of up to six months.
The mentee and mentor will be expected to fill out a brief evaluation form after one, three and six months. The evaluation will collect information about frequency of contact, the general experience and any issues that arise. The Communications Committee will review the data (with names removed) and share this information with PHA and the PHPN Executive Committee as needed to identify the challenges faced by new PH professionals as well as opportunities to improve the program.
PHA staff will contact each mentor-mentee pair after six months of a mentorship to evaluate the relationship. If the mentee wants to extend the mentorship, the mentor will have the option to continue the mentorship or end it. If the mentee would like to continue working with a mentor, they may request a new one. The six-month period is in place to make mentors available to future mentees. Mentors are not bound to a term length, and may resign from their position if professional or personal obligations interfere with their ability to carry out mentor responsibilities.
If you have any questions about the program or the status of your application, please email email@example.com or call 301-565-3004 x761.

Abrams Named President of London Fog
January 17, 2005,
Apparel producer London Fog Industries — which in December acquired Homestead Fabrics Ltd. and named its president David Greenstein as CEO — has now named another home fashions veteran, Len Abrams, as president of London Fog with responsibility for all sales and merchandising.
Abrams is a veteran of more than 30 years in the home fashions industry, with experience in manufacturing, product sourcing and retail management. He has been president and owner of Leonard Howard Corp., which consults with retailers and manufacturers on inventory and sales issues, and Leonard Abrams Sales Corp., which sources linens and home products in overseas markets. He had earlier been associated with Barclay Home Products.
"Len knows everyone," said London Fog CEO David Greenstein. "His unique background in both apparel and home textiles and across all kinds of retail channels makes him an ideal addition to the company."
In December, when London Fog acquired the $100 million Homestead business, Greenstein said he was interested in diversifying London Fog beyond its core competence in apparel. "We are building on an entrepreneurial company that can move quickly to bring new products to market across different categories," he said.

Shining a spotlight on the rights of persons with disabilities through communication, awareness raising and information sharing
In early December, MTDS participated in the closing workshop of the Leadership and Empowerment for Action on Disability (LEAD) project in Hammanmet, Tunisia. We were there to share insights on how to develop an effective communication strategy with civil society activists from Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia.
MTDS was a partner of LEAD, a project of Handicap International funded by the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI).
Through LEAD, civil society leaders identified gaps in legislation and national policies and learned how to conduct effective advocacy to enhance the social, economic and political participation of 11 million disabled people in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. For its part, MTDS developed a hub website to facilitate information sharing among activists in the Maghreb and supported an e learning program.

MTDS and Handicap International Morocco launch Innovative E-learning Program
Sixty civil society activists from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia are sharpening their advocacy skills by learning about how public policy is made in their countries. Their objective: strengthen national policies promoting the inclusion of persons with disabilities. According to Léo GOUPIL-BARBIER, project manager of Leadership and Empowerment for Actions on Disability (LEAD), "We chose e-learning because it enables people with mobility challenges as well as those living in more remote geographic areas to participate in our training program." Activists from the three countries are taking part in regular webinar sessions, downloading learning materials and sharing their work using an integrated solution developed by MTDS. LEAD is funded by the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI). The training was launched in October 2013. For more information, see http://www.maghrebhandicap.com/index.php/e-learning.
Women's rights in rural livelihoods
With MTDS support, USAID's Morocco Economic Competitiveness Program created a short animated video to raise awareness about the significant contribution of Moroccan women in sustaining rural livelihoods. The animation promotes rural women's right to participate in decision-making, get access to information, training, and credit and to receive their fair share of economic benefits. It is produced in Moroccan Arabic for use by civil society organizations and other defenders of gender equality in rural Morocco. The video is available here: http://youtu.be/SCzcWLoYpko
Khadamatfes.ma: Connects Citizens-in-Need with Social Service Providers in Fès
There is a surprisingly large number of both public and civil society –run social services available to help persons in need in the city of Fès. The challenge for many citizens is in finding out what these services are and how to reach them. MTDS recently developed a web application that helps solve this problem. MTDS created an interactive database that allows users, which include both everyday citizens and social workers, to search for services by location, theme (ex. legal assistance, health, and employment services) and type of service. Khadamatfes.ma was launched in October 2012, by USAID Morocco through the SANAD Project. The Moroccan association, Carrefour d'Initiatives de Communication, d'Information et de Documentation currently manages khadamatfes.ma and is ensuring that information about services is regularly updated.

USAID: a changing game!
"This agency is no longer satisfied with writing big checks to big contractors and calling it development." Those challenging words, spoken by Rajiv Shah, the administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), were just one part of his speech forging a new direction for an agency that has been in the backwater of U.S. foreign cooperation and security policies for years. As described in a recent Washington Post article, the focus will now be given to small business companies, as MTDS, that have been working in the field for many years and benefit from strong local roots.

Yakbone, Location II
An update on Yakbone for Location II(South Cape State Beach):
After we all met at the designated area, Tim and I decided to give SCSB a try. Juro and I exchanged cell phone numbers and headed off. Upon arriving, we where met with swarms of hungry mosquitos. I think I was bit 30 times by the time I got rigged up and ready to go !! We headed down the path towards the rips. As soon as we hit the beach, around 50 yards from us, we a huge blitz going on. Needless to say, this was one quick way to get rid fo the cobwebbs !
Tim's first cast hooked into a freight train that headed for the Vineyard. I hooked a bass around 28 inches and lost it at my feet. I looked to my right (now about 50 yards away) and Tim was still fighting his fish ! I made another cast and landed a schoolie about 22 inches after that a bluefish about 6 lbs. that destryed my fly. Time finally landed his big ole' fat striper. Easily a keeper.......
Out of the corner of our eye, we saw a man and his two kids running down the beach. The boys had to be around 6 or 7. At that point, we decided to move on down the beach and let the young guys get into the action (which they did !).
Well, needless to say, we spent 4 hours fishing every step of the beach area. The rips that set up on an out going tide are just unbelievable looking. We did get bumps from snapper blues. We knew this because we would get a "thump" and then nothing. Bringing the fly in, you would notice it seemed to be loosing material !
Around noon, we decided to sit up on the logs and take a break. Calling Juro to check in, I looked to my left at the corner of the rip. And there they where.......the green footballs we had been waiting for ! Tim was already running down the beach. I was trying to get off the phone with Juro and grab my gear at the same time. I kept saying to him, "I gotta go, there are Bonito here !". Unfortunately, we where not succesful in hooking up......
Tim decided to call it a day and save some of his points for another day. I stayed on and continued to cast and cast and cast. One of the things I noticed was that every Bonito I saw that afternoon traveled right down what I would call the "scum line". This is the slick and smooth water that you see between the water on the beach and the deeper water. You know the area that is 40 feet too short of a 100 ft cast !
I did have 3 shots in the afternoon as I set up on a point where I could actually reach the scum line. Knowing the bones feed into the current, I kept looking right and casting into the slick area. The Funny Fish Gods where not smiling on me today.......
Later in the day, Greg and Craig showed up. Craig proceded to catch a fluke but that was about it for the rest of the day. I stayed until dark and never did see any fish breaks at dusk.
Overall, this experience just reinforces why these fish are called funny fish. Thanks to everyone who helped pull this together. Now, onto BoneClave 2000 !

My last pup came home at 7 weeks because it fit my schedule. In 3 years I'll let you know if I shoulda waited another week.
My last pup came home at 7 weeks because it fit my schedule. In 3 years I'll let you know if I shoulda waited another week.
Think about it this way too. The older they are (to a point), the more reliable the vet well check is going to be. Most ACVOs around here won't want to do a CERF until sometime between 7 and 8 wks at minimum for good reason also (maturity). What is the rush if the breeder is doing a good job? I have 5.5 wk olds right now and there is NO WAY I'd consider letting them go in 5 days... 8 wks for me.
There is quite a difference of opinion on this subject with some believing that 49 days is the magic day for them to go to their new home. The other group believes that at least 9 weeks is the proper time. I have raised a few litters and there have been times when 1 or 2 of the puppies in the litter became very dominant and I thought they got pretty rough with some of the other puppies. In those situations I was glad that they were going home in the 7 week range rather than continuing to have to experience the dominance from the other puppy.
First of all, depending on where the litter is or where you are, bringing a pup home at this age is illegal.
Second, and more importantly, at 44 days the pups are just entering the age of socialization. Prior to this it was all about "me". Now the pup is learning that there are others out there and they need to be recognized and reckoned with. It is during this period that pups learn bite inhibition, start learning toilet habits and tons more. Tons of canine behavior that you can't teach.
If this is the only time to get the puppy, I'd think long and hard about finding another puppy. Through a mix-up, I got one once a bit younger than this and the first 6 months were an absolute nightmare.

SVP PS-4400 Portable Handheld Scanner w/ Preview C 5/29/2014nd from seattle, wa
Bought this for travel overseas. Checked it out and everything functional. Wish I had spent a little extra for sheet fed....
Handy gadget for reasonable price 1/4/2014
Here are a few specific comments: 1) LCD display is too small for viewing scanned images, but very handy for the various status information. 2) Requires a steady hand, so be prepared to practice a little. 3) Doesn't come with a memory card, but at this price point I didn't mind buying one separately. Also, I haven't experienced any problems with battery life reported by other reviewers, but I think in addition to the memory card, it may also be a good idea to buy some rechargeable AA batteries.
very good valume 11/8/2013
Very portable, nice image, I'm very happy with it.
Nice portable scanner 9/30/2013
The scanner is small, light weight and high quality. It will not go wrong with the price o Rakuten either.
Great portable scanner 7/10/2013Victoria from Houston, TX
So far so good. It's easy to use and the image is clear. The color screen is tiny but good enough for a quick view of the file. Purchasing was a breeze and shipping was prompt. It doesn't come with a micro SD card, but you can buy that online for cheap. For this price is it a great buy.
review 7/10/2013
Works great but drains batteries fast! 7/4/2013
The product works great but it drains the batteries after just a couple scans. I recommend re-chargeable batteries with this one.
worth every penny. 7/1/2013MIKE from Boynton Beach, Fl.
Works great, does good scans for JPG's and have not done PDF's yet. Buttons a little confusing, but works as good as I could expect for the price. Higher priced scanners do not have a preview window like this one does[ at least most don't]. very very good product and good seller.
So far a good item 5/22/2013
Copies look pretty good
small,neat and helpful 5/21/2013laurie from baltimore,md
this scan is very helpful for me and the rendering I receive back is very good quality,for a small scanner it packs a pretty good punch
Very usabel item 4/1/2013Ben from Brooklyn, NY
Very usable item for home and school.
Good Scanner 3/24/2013
This scanner is easy to use. Very handy. I like it very much.
Good As Advertised 1/13/2013
Works as Charm.
Well done 1/11/2013Dr. A C. Castillo Crimm from Huntsville, TX
Shipped promptly, packaged carefully, and received in plenty of time for my work.
Cool! 11/23/2012NL7XM from Easton, PA
Amazing capability for such a portable device. Only improvement would be if one side of the scanning element was closer to the edge in order to capture text nearer the seam of an open, thick book. (Flat pages are no problem, however.)
good 11/22/2012
Nice little scanner 11/16/2012
For the discounted price you can't beat it. Comes in handy when you need to take a quick scan of something. Works well.
Great portable device 11/16/2012EdTheSewingMan from Springfield, IL
For such a small device it produces fantastic color and sharpness of a scanned image.
such a great divice 10/7/2012
I can not believe how easy this is!!! this is a great scanner.
two things that people might want to know about product
If you want to make sure you scan the entire page it helps to use a peace of plexiglass over the book you are scanning.
SVP PS4400 Handheld Portable Scanner 10/5/2012AScannerDarkly from Shangra-La
Waiting for my microSD card to arrive. Users beware this scanner will not operate without microSD card and it is not included. I've read reviews of this scanner and they are mostly positive, so I figure my feedback here would just "ditto" everyone else's. It appears this scanner has more resolution power than the competition, so that is a plus. Also, potential buyers make sure you check package contents for enclosed "white balance sheet." Mine was missing. This "sheet" accessory is mandatory.
great deal all the way around 10/5/2012Mitch from Boynton Beach, FL
great value. easy to use.
Great Scanner 10/4/2012Steven from Memphis, TN
Fits easily into my briefcase. Images look good. Great price.
Fast Service 10/1/2012
Just what I needed. Scanner worked great. Just what I needed for traveling.
Cool device 9/27/2012
Very easy to operate. Light, small and portable

That unlikely uprising left the Miami Dolphins as the only team in the high-flying AFC without a 30-point game this season.Sunday marked the 15th consecutive game under Henne that the Dolphins failed to exceed 25 pointsEven the most recent 30-point explosion, which came almost a full year ago (Nov. 1 at the Jets), featured two special teams scores from Ted Ginn Jr. and another from the defense ( Jason Taylor).Four trips to the Steelers' 21-yard-line or closer failed to produce a touchdown Sunday.Read 'em and weep folks. Cold hard facts for you."Lack of efficiency and execution, that would be the thread," Sparano said. "If you're looking for me to say we should have done something different, that there was some magic out there, no, I'm not going to tell you that."
In other words, it's the players not the plays.

Can India become a global drug discovery collboration hot spot?
Over the last few decades India has reiterated its capabilities in providing dependable and cost effective chemistry services to big pharma through a multitude of outsourcing deals. A large percentage of these collaborations, however, are no longer limited to short-term outsourcing agreements but rather long-term milestone-based partnerships.
After two years of announcing the basic plan with medium-to-long-term strategies for business expansion to India, including those for a variety of functions such as sales and marketing, research, development, chemistry, manufacturing and control (CMC), manufacturing and IT, Takeda Pharmaceutical, took the plunge, with a three year drug discovery collaboration with Advinus Therapeutics in October this year. As a part of the deal, Advinus Therapeutics will receive a guaranteed payment of $36 million as well as a milestone based payment of $9 million, dependent on the targets achieved during candidates.
"The Takeda-Advinus deal seems to be a holistic deal which will help other internal programs and provide them good breathing space as well as provide an impetus to drug discovery in India", said Mr Siddharth Dhodi, manager, life sciences, Yes Bank.
Dr Rashmi Barbhaiya, CEO, Advinus Therapeutics, said that, "This deal will not be based on prior research carried out at Advinus. Instead we will involve entirely new projects in therapeutics areas such as inflammation, CNS, and metabolic diseases, all of which Advinus has developed an expertise in through its past projects."
Highlighting the sentiment Dr Ajay Kumar Sharma, associate director, pharma and biotech, healthcare practice, Frost & Sullivan, South Asia and Middle East, said that, "Advinus has been focusing on developing it's own drug candidates for quite some time and now with the support of Takeda coming in there would be no surprise if the world sees some blockbuster drugs coming out of their arsenal in the next decade. This move will also increase the confidence for other big pharma's to re-think their strategies."

When Sea Stars Attack
Invasive Species
Student Exploration
Sea Star War
An invasive species is a non-native species which enters a new ecosystem. Often these individual invaders just die because they cannot deal with an ecosystem they did not evolve in or there are too few invading individuals to make a viable population. Essentially, unless an individual can reproduce asexually or is a pregnant female, you need at least one female and one male to grow a population. 100 males may cause problems but unless the species can change sex (which some species can and it is called sequential hermaphroditism; you can find out more here: http://www.reefscapes.net/articles/articles/2002/hermaphroditism.html). There are never going to more than 100 individuals. But sometimes the invaders hit the jackpot and enter an ecosystem where they have no predators and then there can be problems. Watch this video to see what is happening in the "Land Down Under."

Braised Pears with Australian Lemon Myrtle Leaves
Serves 2
2 large firm pears
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
3 lemon myrtle leaves or dried bay leaves
250 ml Amarone or other full-bodied red wine
Peel the pears, cut each into halves lengthwise and remove the core, leaving the stem attached. Select a pan with a lid that will accommodate all the pear halves lying flat. There should be no overlapping, nor should the pan be too large so that the butter burns. Heat the pan to medium hot, add the butter and melt. Just as the foam subsides, place in the pears cut side down. Brown lightly, turn and brown the other side. Scatter the sugar over the pears. Add the leaves and gradually pour the wine over all.
Cover the pan, leaving the lid a little askew, and turn down the heat to medium low. Cook, turning the pears from time to time, until they are tender. The syrup created may need to be reduced, or if the heat is too high it may need the addition of a little water. When the dish is finished, the juices should be dense and deep-coloured.
Spoon the juices over the pears and, after they have cooled a little, serve with thick cream.
Do no refrigerate.
Queen of Nuts Cake
Unsalted butter
¼ cup fine breadcrumbs
200g best quality dark chocolate, grated
150g caster sugar
150g blanched almonds, finely chopped
30g candied citron or peel, finely cut
5 egg yolks lightly beaten with a few drops of pure vanilla
5 egg whites
Preheat oven to 160 degrees C. Melt the butter and liberally grease a circular springform tin 22 cm in diameter and 5 cm deep. Coat the buttered sides of the tin with breadcrumbs and line base with cooking parchment.
Mix the chocolate, sugar, almonds and citron. Stir in the egg yolks with vanilla. Beat the whites until soft peaks form. Fold into the mixture. Carefully transfer to the tin and bake at 160 degrees C for 35 minutes, until firm. Cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes, then turn out carefully. Allow to cool before cutting with a hot knife. This cake keeps well for 2 to 3 days in an airtight container.
