I believe a dog that works is valuable no matter the color.
Just saw a so-called white lab has qualified for the MN. Is white as much of a no-no as silver?
My first puppy in 10 years is a stud fee puppy. And I chose the pup with a huge white spot (never saw that in my breeding before) who is automatically disqualified from the show ring. I've wanted a pup with a huge white spot forever. It goes back to the origins of my breed (Curly Coated Retrievers) in which some dogs were totally white. And many were black and white or liver and white. (And yellow.)
I know some people think certain dog breeds should be of a certain color and nothing else. But I'm old enough to know when yellow and chocolate labradors were considered crap as field dogs.
And I've seen the debate on silver labs here. So, what about white labs?
I just want to learn about whether white labs have some support. Goldens used to be basically golden or yellow but a more white, creamy color has been supported in the last 15-20 years or so, at least in the conformation ring.
I don't breed labs or goldens. I just like to hear dog people's opinions of different colors, especially since the field lab has gone from basic black to acceptance of yellows and chocolates.
Are there still some people old enough on here who can't believe (or will admit they can't believe) chocolate and yellow labs can be great field trial labs? And do the creamy goldens give any folks on here pause? (Or Paws?)

Threats To Wild Salmon
Pacific salmon are an important food source for many animals like these Alaskan brown bears (Ursus arctos gyas). This photo is from Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park and Preseve, Alaska, USA. Brown bears congregate annually in large numbers at these falls to take advantage of the salmon run.
Salmon Disease
Student Exploration
Are the runs of a lifetime in danger?
Salmon are an iconic species in the Pacific Ocean where they have been an important food source for people and animals longer than recorded history. Their importance as a food source shaped both the culture of people living around the Pacific Rim, as well as the life history of the animals who live there. Recently, reports of the appearance of a marine virus common in farmed Atlantic salmon off of British Columbia, Canada has caused great concern. Fortunately, researchers are ready to find out what's going on.
An ocean salmon farm in Norway. Salmon anemia virus was introduced to Chile through eggs from a Norwegian hatchery.
Extension Investigation
Use the resources below to answer the following questions:
- What is the connection between the salmon anemia virus and farmed fish? What about the process of farming fish creates favorable conditions for disease?
- What kind of facilities are available for studying disease at the USGS Seattle facility? Why is it advantageous to have this variety of facilities in one place?
- Why is it important that the presence of salmon anemia virus in the Eastern Pacific Ocean could not be confirmed by other researchers? What could the initial report have been a result of? Why are wildlife managers concerned about situations like this one?
- How does the life history of the Pacific salmon and the Atlantic salmon differ? How could this change the way disease is transmitted through the populations?

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Pig Penned
The hunt had started with great promise, but there I was -- stuck.
An hour earlier, a friend and I had seen two or three gobblers on an open flat bordering a dry New Mexico creek bottom. After hiding the truck a quarter-mile up the road, we came at the birds from the opposite direction. A mountain point that led to a small row of cedars near an old hog pen hid our approach.
"This is as far as we can go," my friend said. "Let's try them."
I sat by the cedars and yelped. A roaring gobble echoed back. Bingo.
The birds answered my next few calls, too, but didn't get closer. Subsequent calling series garnered a tepid response, and after 20 minutes, the gobblers just stopped answering. I waited 10 minutes. Nothing.
"Are they coming?" I thought. "What the heck?"
There was no way to tell, and I didn't dare peek around the thick cedars to find out. Trouble was, I'd set up too close to the trees, and if the birds came in silently, they'd be almost on top of me before I knew it.
I couldn't leave the setup, of course, but I longed for a clue about the whereabouts of the birds. Should I sit silently and take my chances or try some other calling tactic to elicit a gobble?
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

If you or someone you know is expecting or breastfeeding, you've probably heard about the benefits of an omega-3 fatty acid, called DHA, for mom and baby.† DHA is a critical nutrient for supporting brain, eye, and nervous system development in unborn children.† Moms get DHA from foods such as cold-water fish, and unborn and nursing babies get their DHA from mom.
Why Advanced Purity Matters
The reality is that most expectant mothers don't eat much fish because of the concerns about mercury and other toxins that may be present in whole fish. There is a simple and nutrient-packed way to get your daily DHA without eating whole fish, however, in the form of a small, easy-swallow prenatal fish oil supplement.
Just one softgel packs in a whopping 480 mg of DHA from an ultra-concentrated fish oil blend that is third-party purity tested for PCB's, heavy metals, mercury, and other toxins. This fish oil is so pure, in fact, that it is consistently awarded the highest IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) 5-star purity rating and it exceeds the stringent NMS (Norwegian Medical Standard) for purity, potency, and freshness.
Don't like the taste of fish? No problem. Norwegian Gold Prenatal DHA tastes like citrus thanks to its natural added orange flavor. Plus, you won't be burping up any fishy taste with the "repeat" you can get with other fish oils. Norwegian Gold Prenatal Omega contains added lipase, an enzyme that helps mom break down the fish oils into smaller, more absorbable compounds.† The result is a better-digested fish oil and better availability to mom and baby.
More Benefits to DHA…
In addition to the important transmission of DHA from mom to baby for developing eyes, brain, and nervous system, DHA has some pretty wonderful benefits for mom too:†
- Supports healthy breast milk in lactating mothers†
- Promotes a healthy level of omega-3 in the mother, promoting her healthy mood after birth†
- Helps replenish mom's omega-3 depletion, contributing to her overall health as well as the health of her newborn†
- Promotes heart and joint health†
Norwegian Gold Prenatal DHA is the latest in ReNew Life's top selling advanced purity fish oil line. This new blend is simply the easiest digested, highest purity fish oil available to moms—and all in one daily tiny orange flavored softgel that also contains 500 IU of vitamin D3.

Chicken Helper® and rotisserie chicken make it easy to have this favorite Italian restaurant dinner at home!
You can use uncooked chicken breasts instead of the rotisserie chicken. Add 2 tablespoons margarine or butter (instead of 1) to bacon drippings in skillet; carefully add 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes. Cook over medium-high heat about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until outsides turn white. Beginning with step 2, continue with recipe as written—except omit rotisserie chicken.
Carbonara sauce is a white sauce flavored with Parmesan cheese and bacon or ham. We've added peas to this version for a touch of sweetness and color.

Marshall police sisters deliver baby in parking lot
7-pound, 11-ounce girl born at station
A special delivery arrived Thursday morning at the Marshall police station. A baby girl was born in their parking lot.
One of police officers who helped told WISC-TV she had training on how deliver a baby when she was in the police academy, but that was more than a dozen years ago.
Nestled snug in her car seat, Miranda Nemec has no idea the excitement her birth caused in the village of Marshall.
"She's like, 'she's having a baby,' and I'm like, 'I need gloves!' My first thought was I need gloves," Officer Kristine Quam said.
Quam and her sister, office assistant Deanna Chadwick, sprang into action when Miranda's parents Doug and Amy pulled up in the police department's parking lot.
"I started pounding on all the doors here and people ran out, the neighbor next door brought us some towels than 2 or 3 minutes, we had a little baby," Doug Nemec said.
The sisters, both mothers themselves, managed to stay calm while delivering the baby in the family's car.
"Mom did everything; really we were just glorified catchers because she did the work," Quam said.
Friday the Nemecs stopped by the place of Miranda's birth to meet some of the folks who helped deliver her.
The sisters said it was an honor to be part of little Miranda's birth.
"Probably one of the best moments [that] we got to share with the mom and dad standing right there [was] to hear that baby cry for the first time," Deanna Chadwick said.
"For all the stuff we do and all the things we see, by far, her birth will be the best part of my career," Quam said.
Doug said he's thankful he decided to stop there.
"Mom is terrific," he said. "She's a very brave individual (and) the best wife and mother I could have wished for."
Miranda Nemec weighed a healthy 7 pounds, 11 ounces.
Her dad joked she will have her first birthday party at the police station as a tribute to all the folks who helped deliver her.

Dir. Karen Arthur
AKA The Mafu Cage
My Sister, My Love
The Cage
Two sisters, level-headed yet repressed astronomer Ellen (Lee Grant) and mentally unstable and highly volatile Cissy (Carol Kane) share a crumbling mansion together.
Since the death of their father the siblings have lived in a darkly co-dependent and quite isolated relationship that can only lead to tragedy. Ellen's only interaction with the outside world is through her work as a researcher at an astronomy lab. Even this seems to be a lonely life outside of her home. Cissy meanwhile spends her days sketching various primates she has been keeping in a cage. She refers to them all as Mafu. When she grows tired of them, she kills them. It becomes apparent that Ellen keeps replacing them for her, despite the fact that she knows it is Cissy who kills them. The only other person in the lives of the two sisters is their godfather Zom, who stops in from time to time to humour Cissy and console Ellen.
Adapted from Eric Wesphal's play 'Toi et Tes Nuages', Don't Ring the Doorbell is a vaguely feminist and claustrophobic study of familial breakdown and mental anguish.
It was whilst browsing in one of Belfast's many discount/tat shops I came across this obscure title and as soon as I read the blurb and noticed that it not only starred Carol Kane, but that it was also based on a play, I parted with a whopping £2 and scurried off home to indulge myself. Don't Ring the Doorbell appears to be one of those films that has been cheaply released with a random, tacked on title that actually has very little to do with the film itself. This was originally released under the title The Mafu Cage, a much more appropriate title given the subject matter. I don't know who is being urged not to ring the doorbell, or why, but this bizarre title has no bearing on the story whatsoever, instead it serves as a much more exploitable title for what is otherwise quite a thoughtful and unsettling melodrama. Having said that, I guess it was down to the cheap and oh so bad title that drew my attention to this particular DVD amidst all the Shark Attacks, Creature from the Black Lakes and Dolph Lundgren titles also on display. Fickle, I know. But hey, on with the review!
Don't Ring the Doorbell, is an unsure hybrid of quasi-feminist angst and psychological horror pap. Shades of Roman Polanski's Repulsion shine through in the film's depiction of a vulnerable and highly unstable young woman undergoing a complete mental breakdown. There is also a touch of Whatever Happened to Baby Jane in the tale of two oddball sisters fading away into madness in their secluded and ramshackle house.
Cissy stalks through the house to tribal music, dressing up and dancing. Her room is covered in exotic plants, African relics and various tribal masks showcasing her complete submersion in primitive culture. She often whips herself up into a worrying frenzy and even her sister has difficultly in calming her again. Ellen is portrayed as the 'normal' sister, what with her being quite prim and all. It is obvious that at times she is resentful of her sister's condition and the fact that their father made her swear to always look after Cissy, despite the fact that she needs psychiatric help.
'I don't know how to talk to people, living or dead.'
The relationship between Ellen and Cissy forms the core of the story. Their relationship is at times highly ambiguous. They are shown sharing a bed and at times, Cissy seems a little too familiar with her sister. A definite incestuous subtext lurks within the story and coats the film in an uneasy atmosphere and renders it totally stifling. Things become increasingly tense when Cissy overhears Ellen talking about her colleague and potential love-interest David. It becomes clear Ellen has been deliberately distant with David, but secretly harbours the desire to embark on a relationship with him.
Events take a drastic turn when Ellen leaves Cissy alone at home to embark on a business trip and David unexpectedly calls at the house. He soon sees why Ellen was so secretive. By the time he realises that Cissy is clearly insane, it is far too late. He is initially intrigued by her curious manner and she plies him with wine. She manages to persuade him to allow her to chain him up in Mafu's cage (the fool), and eventually beats him to death. This is the part of the film that events seemed to be leading up to, however they are far too briefly executed to create much impact.
The obvious metaphors of caged animals that are untameable, are rife throughout the film. Ellen is essentially Cissy's keeper. The bizarre and highly atmospheric tribal score evokes heat, danger and the fact that the wild and untamed nature of Cissy is constantly simmering under the surface of proceedings, ready to erupt like the random shots of solar flares inserted into the narrative. The scenes featuring the chained Mafu are unsettling and uncomfortable. Mafu might be the wild animal, but it has nothing on Cissy. The scene where she beats the poor creature to death is shocking and intense. Kane's performance is startling and the sight of Cissy in full tribal garb and lurid red body paint is memorable, to say the least. When she delicately wraps Ellen's body up in her hammock the moment is unsettling in its quiet morbidity.
One of the most striking shots features Cissy submerged in her bathtub, the water around her, blood-red and livid. This simple moment perfectly encapsulates how she has been utterly consumed by, and immersed in, her own blood-dark insanity.
At times it is obvious this was based on play. The limited sets and stagey direction is detached and uninvolving. Everything appears to be open to interpretation – from the stifling relationship of the sisters, to the reasons why Cissy views people, particularly men, as no better than her shackled primates. Unfortunately most of the events, particularly towards the end of the film, play out under almost complete darkness. This ensures that it is quite hard to follow. The performances of the two leads however, are strong and convincing throughout.
While Don't Ring the Doorbell was not quite engaging enough to create the impact it was striving for, that's not to say it isn't worth checking out. Part horror film, part psychological study, the film also hasn't dated very well, but remains an intriguing and obscure little oddity with a highly unsettling, if rather predictable denouement.

Here my first diary entry. I haven't had much time to code recently, has I am writing a paper for school on Buffer Overflows on Unix Systems. It's my IB extended essay. It's in French and as I found little (not to say nothing) in French about Buffer Overflows, I'll probably try to put it on my webpage when I'm done. If the IP policy of the IBO allows me to do it, because it seems that they want to get all rights on any work submitted to them, so I believe that I will have to put it on my webpage before submitting it to them.
On the programming front, I have rewritten a few months ago the chat code of GnomeICU to add support for multi-party chat and Jeremy is supposed to make a new release (0.95) with my code it in soon. I also had a bizzare bug report on the mailing list that I'm hoping to be able to have enough time to look into soon.

Advocate for Guantanamo detainees to speak, Feb. 27
Posted February 23, 2006; 10:23 p.m.
Sabin Willett, a lawyer seeking the release of a group of Chinese
nationals held in the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
will deliver a talk titled "Who's at Guantanamo?" at 4:30 p.m. Monday,
Feb. 27, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Willett, a Boston attorney, is acting as a pro bono representative for a group of Turkic-speaking Muslims, known as "Uighurs," who fled Communist Chinese rule and have been imprisoned for three years at Guantanamo. A federal judge ruled in December that the Bush administration's detention of the Uighurs was illegal but that the court does not have the power to free them.
Willett is a partner in the firm of Bingham McCutchen, specializing in commercial and bankruptcy litigation. He also is the author of several legal novels.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

- Description
Borgo Rocca Sveva is the result of an ambitious project designed by Cantina di Soave, whose objective was to make transparent, and to further strengthen, the bond between the local area and its entire culture on the one side and, on the other, a particular culture and science, that of wine, that over the centuries came into being and matured. Lying at the heart of a viticulturally-precious zone, and more visibly on the sloping sides of the Castello di Soave, Borgo Rocca Sveva is not only a painstakingly-restored wine cellar but it is above all a uniquely-evocative spot and a privileged centre for education in the culture of wine.
Inaugurated in 2003, Borgo Rocca Sveva is today utilised by Cantina di Soave to testify to its intimate bond with its local area and to represent the high quality of its wines. At a time when so-called globalisation hastens the uniformisation of wines, the reaction of Cantina di Soave, as of other wine producers, has been that of recovering the identity of the product: identifying a wine with a specific area and terroir and then developing and promoting its quality. Borgo Rocca Sveva's role, then, is to function, not only for the wine consumer but for the general tourist to Soave as well, as a functional sign of how the wines of Cantina di Soave are bound up with their terroirs and with the cultures of their places of origin.
It is not by simple chance that Cantina di Soave's ultra-premium lines of wines are made here: Equipe 5, the classic-method spumantes, and Rocca Sveva, which in fact gives its name to the entire complex. The Rocca Sveva selection line constitutes in fact the latest high-quality commitment with which Cantina di Soave has rewarded the determination of its partners protect the typicity of the local area, preserving the characteristics innate in the native grape varieties and in their terroirs, and thus displaying a two-fold intent of promoting both wine and area. In this way, Borgo Rocca Sveva offers itself as a cult-place of wine, which all may approach to better understand the culture of the vine and wine.
For those who wish to bring home a tangible memory of a special day, the wine shop is an ideal place to be tempted by a rich selection of wines, wine-tasting accessories, and some small, not-to-be-passed-up gastronomic gems. The wine shop, with its tasting rooms, constitutes the last step in the visitors' oeno-cultural itinerary inside Borgo Rocca Sveva, the culmination of satisfying their curiosity about the fascinating world of wine.
The wine shop, an area of over 1,000 square meters, makes available everything Cantina di Soave produces: noble wines, everyday wines, grappas, and traditional local products.

I am not familiar with training for hunt tests. Do you train on your marks with gunner out or hidden? With gunners hidden, do the dogs still tend to swing heads off of marks to look for the next one?

I believe running singles is ideal to teach... factors, concepts, concentration, confidence, not to head swinging... (to name a few). "Teach Teach Teach Train Train Test."
Larry Byrd was quoted, I shoot a hundred free throws daily.
Run set-ups with a purpose. A marking set-up may be composed of only a few factors, to an array of factors. During your teaching phase, try to clearly define each factor on its own by breaking it down into very specific segments. During the training phase move the element into the field, again working specifically on the factor being taught. Only after the dog recognizes the factor and acknowledges that the drills are understood should you test the concept within other concepts and/or factors. This is where most people lose their dogs and lose their plan. They assume for example, that the dog de-cheated off a big protruding point is the same as a dog de-cheating off a soft curled back pocket. They assume that de-cheating from 10 yards back flat to the shore with 20 yards of bank to skirt is the same as de-cheating at a 100 yard entry at a 15 degree angle with only 5 yards of bank to skirt. Distance, angles and clarity are a major factors, but lighting, wind and scents are factors that are also often overlooked when trying to define concept. Each factor has multiple variations Show your dog the variations in the most clearly defined method you can create, walk them through it, teach them through it, train them through it once you see the light come-on and they truly recognize the concept, then test them on it.
Probably the most common mistake is we move on. Shoot your free throws.
What does this have to do with singles vs multiples everything! Teach Teach Teach the concept, Train Train the concept, Test the concept. Teaching and training should primarily consist of singles to clearly define the concepts. Often times testing the concept will involve singles as well. The reward of understanding and focusing in on the concept is a dog that learns how to get the bird without fear of the factors or being distracted by the factors; a dog that understands the task at hand.
So the adage that 80% singles 20% multiples is a cure or a way to alleviate head swinging is to some degree correct. However; there is much more of an advantage than simply getting a dog not to head swing by running singles properly in a format that is purposely planned to teaching a dog new tricks. A dog that can look out at the field and recognize the set-ups will have significant greater confidence at the line, translating into better focus and control at line, thus, much less likely to head swing and much more likely to become a better marking dog.
This is one of my free throw drills. I try to run it once a week, normally Monday morning:
I typically do this work on a soccer field the grass needs to be extremely short where the bird can be seen from the line.
Single throwing Gunner is set directly out in front of the first line approximately 50 yards out. I use a snow goose Dokken and throw flat. I use a count to 20 seconds and send. If my dog loses focus at any point, I immediately heel back off line with a firm No, then bring him back and re-throw. I cue the dog on mark. If he continues to lose focus, we move forward to the AOF splitting the distance about half-way (not the gunner). At the stage I am at with my dog now, I demand a 100% focus, zero movement, sit at "nose-to-toes", completely locked-in and a long 20 second count. The first time doing the drill should be a simple 1 second count then 2 second and so forth. But your standard of sit and focus should not waver.
Second mark, we will drop back the send line 25 yards and place a stick man/non-throwing gunner about 25 yards perpendicular off line from our original send line. Cue the dog, mark hold for 20 seconds and send if the dog maintains focus. If the dog does not, we go back to the first send line without the gunner and repeat.
After the dog is successful at the second line, we drop back an additional 25 yards to the third send line. Place a second stick man/non-throwing gunner about 25 yards perpendicular to the second line. Cue the dog, mark hold for 20 seconds and send if the dog maintains focus. If he does not, we go all the way back to the first send line without the gunner and repeat. Dont expect the dog to generalize the concept with multiple factors. Clearly define the concept until its without question understood, then work into multiple factors.
Best of luck and hope this helps

In recent news ...
On June 21 the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously decided that the Second Circuit Court of Appeals must take a third look at whether Cher's comment at the 2002 Billboard Music Awards was indecent when she said, "I've also had my critics for the last 40 years saying that I was on my way out every year. Right. So f*** 'em." Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote the opinion for the court, finding that Cher's remark and two 2003 instances of alleged broadcast indecency were not actionably indecent because broadcasters had not received fair notice from the Federal Communications Commission. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a brief separate concurrence and Justice Sonia Sotomayor did not participate. In 2007 the appeals court had found the FCC's fleeting expletives policy arbitrary and capricious, but that was reversed by the Supreme Court in 2009. In 2010, in reconsidering, the appeals court found the FCC's policy unconstitutionally vague — that ruling is now vacated by the Supreme Court so the appeals court must re-address the issues in light of the highest court's latest guidance. Kennedy's opinion addressed the vagueness of the FCC's indecency standards as being a consequence of the lack of fair notice to broadcasters. This is a sufficiently different kind of vagueness from the standard the appeals court used to make its second decision on Cher's remark so it must now take a third swing at the fleeting expletive. In 1989 Cher had a major hit with "If I Could Turn Back Time" — for now it seems like she really can. Reactions to the decision ranged from frustration with the continuing lack of clarity to satisfaction with the procedural fact that the FCC will now begin going through its backlog of 1.5 million pending broadcast indecency complaints.
As anticipated, European Parliament's International Trade Committee recommended that parliament's plenary body reject the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement in a vote held on June 21. Superficially, this is consistent with the growing perception that ACTA in Europe is dead, at least as a formal agreement that the United States expected Europe to adopt in the near future. On a more substantive level, ACTA's underlying blueprint for tougher intellectual property enforcement, like many ideas, will not conveniently die just because a popular movement has been clamoring to kill it. Addressing the committee on June 20, EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht outlined the European Commission's plans for the formal agreement's future. "ACTA is not an attack on our liberties, it is a defense of our livelihoods," he said while outlining possible actions that could include resubmitting a tweaked version of ACTA to the European Parliament after the European Court of Justice rules whether the agreement is consistent with Europeans' fundamental rights. Meanwhile, on the enforcement front, the planning outlined by ACTA is likely to move forward in practice, meeting opposition but gaining ground all the same. For example, if nations coordinate systematic reporting on their local IP enforcement efforts in a way that allows them to better share best practices and improve international governmental cooperation, ACTA's formal defeat is unlikely to be an impediment to progress.
On June 19 British Internet service provider BT became the last of the major UK ISPs to impose efforts to block subscribers from accessing copyright-infringing site the Pirate Bay. The Pirate Party UK and others are now offering proxy sites to help consumers avoid the effort to cut them off. Although BT took its time to do a thorough job, blocking more TPB Web addresses than other ISPs had, evasive action was effective within minutes, assisted by the Pirate Bay activating new numerical IP addresses — a process that can be continued almost indefinitely. Successful evasion of ISP blocks makes the effort appear futile to some observers, but the blocks send an important message expected to encourage consumers to take greater advantage of legitimate music websites.
Video-to-MP3 conversion websites and software have become a fresh target for takedown notices. Throughout June Google-owned YouTube has notified several offending websites that their ripping services violate the terms of service for YouTube's application programming interfaces, and one popular site has reportedly been blocked from accessing YouTube. In a similar vein, the RIAA asked tech destination Cnet to remove its Download.com links to ripping software YouTube Downloader.
Several announcements on Google's Public Policy blog detail its increasingly active role in mediating the relationship between Web users and questionable content:
The Recording Academy actively represents the music community on such issues as intellectual property rights, music piracy, archiving and preservation, and censorship concerns. In pursuing its commitment to addressing these and other issues, The Recording Academy undertakes a variety of national initiatives.

The following excerpts from interviews with Woodland Park Zoo staff members were originally published in the Career Corner column in ZooEdition, Woodland Park Zoo's teacher newsletter. The most current Career Corner can be found in the Teacher Newsletter (Zoo Edition) section of the zoo's website.

Becca Hanson is a partner at Studio Hanson Roberts, a landscape design firm specializing in connecting visitors to living collections. They have worked with zoos, botanical gardens, and similar institutions worldwide, including designing the Humboldt penguin exhibit at Woodland Park Zoo. Currently, they are the designers of our soon-to open Banyan Wilds: Malayan tiger and sloth bear exhibits.
Woodland Park Zoo: Tell us a little about your firm, and what you do there.
Becca Hanson: The studio is composed of myself, my husband, and six staff. Most of us are landscape architects, and we do zoo design work, which also includes aquariums – really, any work that brings people, animals and the natural environment together.
WPZ: To have a career in your field, what sort of education is needed, and what sort of things should someone enjoy?
BH: The things you really need to enjoy are animals and people, and to have a good solid love for the natural environment. For me, I started out in architecture, then realized it bored me to tears! (Laughs) So I left architecture and moved over into landscape architecture. I graduated with a professional degree in that, with a minor in plant community ecology. From there, I went on to work for a firm in Seattle, Jones and Jones, that had done the master plan for Woodland Park Zoo many years ago. Through that, I was introduced to zoo design, which I never knew existed as any kind of profession, and I fell in love with it! I fell in love with the people, because anyone who is involved with live animals and zoos has a deep, deep passion for the living world. And that is always satisfying to work with – there is never a bad moment when you're working with those people, and with animals, and trying to do what's best for those animals. And for education – I've learned a lot about educational philosophy, and social psychology, how to work with people, and move people, and get them to change their behaviors. But, also, I love just being able to create habitats that have animal welfare as their goal.
WPZ: Tell us a little more about how animal welfare is integrated into zoo design.
BH: It's an exciting time to be a zoo designer, because the whole science of animal welfare is kicking into high gear, with a lot of good scientific work being done on what happiness really is. What do animals need in their lives? This came out of the United Kingdom in the 1960s, with the concept of the "five freedoms." This was legislation that was passed there that dealt with farm animals and the farming industry. It was looking at what animals need to live rich and fulfilling lives, even though we're using them -- such as using chickens to produce eggs. One of those things is to have enough space to do those behaviors that come naturally to them, like running to the end of the pasture, interacting with others, that sort of thing. Then in my profession, you add in the design framework, the physical spaces we all need to live rich and fulfilling lives. It's very exciting!
WPZ: Tell us about the current project you're working on for WPZ.
BH: The current project focuses on Malayan tigers and Asian sloth bears, two of my favorite animals. What we have been doing is taking a look at how you take the existing structures, which were built in the late 1940s and early 50s, and adapt those into better facilities for the animals. We've adapted the original night holding spaces, and we've also completely changed the outdoor exhibits… We've also layered in behavioral enrichment opportunities, things that help the animals express their natural behaviors. That behavioral freedom then gives the animals psychological security within the space, and allows people to see those natural behaviors being expressed. So it's going to be pretty exciting when it's built!
WPZ: What's your favorite part of your job?
BH: My very favorite part is at the end, when the habitat is built, and the keepers are ready to introduce those animals into the new habitat. I love to be there, and watch those animals go into the habitat and start to interact with it. Will they use those design features we've built in? For example, on the penguin exhibit, we had long discussions about the penguins' behavior – how steep an incline would they walk up, how far can they jump? And they did it! The penguins went right in there, and they did exactly what we expected, they swam in just the ways we expected, and they leaped out of the water doing porpoising behaviors in the areas we had designed for them to be able to do just that. And it was so much fun to see them expressing those wonderful behaviors! And then, when the animals are all settled in, they're happy in their new habitat, you let the kids come see them. And watch as they make that connection, and see the beauty, and the physical joy of those animals. You can see each side being content, and calm, and happy in each other's presence. Everything else in the design process just leads up to that moment.

Evolution of public-carry laws expands gun rights
Practice now permitted in majority of states
The national News21 Initiative brings together a select group of student journalists to produce a major national investigation into a topic of wide interest. This year, News21 has documented the struggle over gun rights and regulations in America. Under the direction of some of the nations best professional investigative journalists, 29 students from 16 universities have traveled the country to produce text, videos and interactive graphics to tell the story "Gun Wars: The Struggle Over Rights and Regulation in America." Over the next two weeks we will be featuring much of their reporting. You can view the entire project at the News21 website.
WICKENBURG, Ariz. -- More Americans can carry guns in more places than ever. In the majority of states, law-abiding gun owners can walk into bars, restaurants and churches with their guns without fear of legal ramifications, a News 21 review of all 50 states found.
"It's a situation just like getting up in the morning and putting your shoes on or your boots on. For me it's putting (my gun) onto my side," said Lee Bird, owner of Twin Birds Saddlery in Wickenburg, Ariz., 60 miles northwest of Phoenix. Bird openly carries a .38 Smith & Wesson Special revolver on his hip everyday.
"People look at you, but I ignore it," Bird said. "I'm not carrying it for attention. I'm carrying it because I want people to know that if there is an incident somewhere, that I am there to defend myself or my family."
Although Bird prefers to openly carry, sometimes he keeps his gun concealed in his briefcase or pocket. Arizona has some of the strongest gun rights laws in the country. It is one of seven states that do not require gun owners to get a permit to carry a concealed gun.
Thirty years ago, Bird wouldn't have been able to carry his gun concealed at all. Historically many states heavily restricted who could own a handgun or banned the concealed carry of handguns altogether.
The art of carry from News21 on Vimeo.
Lee Bird customizes leather gun holsters in his saddlery store outside Phoenix. To Bird, guns are a tool for protecting himself and his property. Video edited by Kristen Hwang, videography by Kristen Hwang and Jacob Byk/News21.
"People have come to think of the Second Amendment as protecting the individual right to keep and bear arms," said Joseph Blocher, a law professor at Duke University specializing in constitutional law. "Also, I think people have come to oppose strong handgun laws and things like that which have in the past found favor."
Guns are increasingly common in public spaces.
Georgia's Legislature recently passed the Georgia Safe Carry Protection Act, which significantly expanded where gun owners could take their firearms. It allows licensed gun owners to bring their firearms in to churches, schools, bars and restaurants. Critics of the bill have called it the "Guns Everywhere Bill."
"I open my front door and walk in public spaces in Georgia," said Kathryn Grant, co-founder of the Georgia Gun Sense Coalition. "Most people don't think about the potential of violence erupting because it's not a reference point, it's not a part of their experience yet."
For some, the acceptability of guns and the number of people who could potentially be carrying is terrifying.
"If I thought about the possibility of the increased number of guns now that are being carried in places, it would have a paralyzing effect, and I won't let that happen," Grant said.
But Georgia Carry, an influential gun-rights group, pushed the Safe Carry Protection Act through the Legislature to reinforce its members' Second Amendment rights.
"If the criminal isn't going to abide by the law, then I should have more places to carry," Georgia Carry Executive Director Jerry Henry said. "Or it's the responsibility of the place that denies my right to carry to protect me."
Georgia Carry aims to educate the public about gun owners' carry rights in the state and to ensure that people understand that guns are an acceptable part of society, Henry said.
The expansion of gun rights into the public sphere is a relatively new phenomenon, although not unique to Georgia.
In the 1960s, legislators responded to race riots and rising violent crime by passing restrictive gun laws. However, recent gun violence has spurred legislators in some states to strip away restrictions on where people can carry guns outside the home.
In 2013, following the Newtown school shooting, 63 laws in 26 states were enacted that made it easier to carry in public, according to an analysis by Mother Jones magazine. Only two laws were enacted in two states that made it harder to carry.
"It's now just a sort of empirical social fact in most of this country that when you go to the shopping mall or the ballet or wherever, some of the people in the crowd of the few thousand around you, there's going to be a percentage carrying guns," said Dave Kopel, adjunct law professor at Denver University who specializes in Second Amendment law.
"The best states have strong permitting standards to make sure that people who have a history of alcohol abuse or of violent arrests are not carrying guns in public," said Brina Milikowsky, a spokeswoman at Everytown for Gun Safety.
Gun owners making legal purchases are required to pass a federal background check and in most states must meet certain standards to obtain carry permits, such as age and training.
"I have been through all the safety courses that are necessary," said Bird, who calls himself a "middle-of-the-road" gun owner. He has no problem with background checks and gun laws for legitimate gun buyers, as long as they are not too restrictive, he said. Bird grew up hunting and target shooting with his father and has been using guns since he was 4.
Gun laws regulating where people could carry used to fall along rural and urban boundaries. But the advent of preemption laws, which prevent municipalities from passing their own firearms ordinances, has polarized the issue of public carry.
States began passing firearms preemption laws in the 1980s. Prior to that it was illegal to carry a gun inside city limits in many places.
"You could have one outside because it was more rural, not as much of a police presence so you might need one to defend yourself," said Blocher, Duke University law professor. "But in the city, people drew a different public-safety balance. That has changed a lot, especially in the last 30 years."
In the majority of states, the cities and counties cannot make their own firearms ordinances but must abide by state law. However, preemption laws are not uniform across the country, and in some states, municipalities may have more-stringent firearm controls than the state.
"We're a country that has more access to guns than any industrialized country," said Grant, from the Georgia Gun Sense Coalition. "It's important to stop this epidemic of gun violence. As a public safety issue it's incredibly important."
"All of the legislation points to more guns in more spaces being a good idea," Grant said. "The research isn't out there. It's fundamentally flawed logic."
Laura Cutilletta, senior staff attorney for the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, says that open carry can still be jarring to some.
"The public tends to not like seeing people carrying guns openly in public places and they call the police, usually not realizing that it's actually legal in most places," Cutilletta said. "If they knew that people were carrying and they just can't see it, they would be equally disturbed by that."
The majority of gun owners have guns for personal safety, not to make a political statement, surveys have found. Despite the increased attention on open-carry rallies at state capitals or chain stores like Target, only 5 percent of gun owners said they carry to reaffirm their Second Amendment right, according to a 2013 Gallup poll.
"In my lifetime, I hope I never have to draw down on a person," Bird said. "It's there for my protection. If I need it, it's a tool and that's all it's used for."
Many law-abiding gun owners feel that gun control advocates wrongly associate guns with crime. Brett Pucillo, president of Ohio Carry, said he started the group to advocate for general firearms rights through community outreach.
"Our goal is to spread that awareness and show people not only what they're legally able to do and how to do it safely, but also to show them that good guys have guns, too," Pucillo said. "So it's not just the bad guys, like they see in movies."

Tutorial Details: Two-day Workshop - SNP Variant Detection Applied Tutorial - Using the Genome Analysis Tool Kit (GATK) Best-practices Pipeline
|Wednesday, November 28, 2012, 01:00 pm - 04:00 pm
|575 Walter
|Kevin A Silverstein PhD, MSI, John R Garbe, , Dr. Innocent G Onsongo, MSI
**This is a two-day workshop. Attendance is required on both November 28 and 29 (1:00 to 4:00 both days).**
DNA resequencing with the intent to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms in individual samples is emerging as a frequent core task to identify genotypic differences in a population that may contribute to important phenotypic effects. The computational field has converged on a standardized best practices suite of tools for analyzing this type of data centered around the Genome Analysis Toolkit (GATK).
In this hands-on tutorial, participants will perform analyses from start to finish with the goal of identifying SNP variants using data from de-identified human DNA samples. This will include (1) sample QA/QC, (2) mapping via BWA, post-processing of alignment files to remove PCR duplicates, re-calibrate basecalls and cleanup regions near indels, (3) genotype calling, (4) SNP annotation, and (5) SNP filtering and quality re-calibration.
The first half hour of the first session will cover the basics of the Galaxy interface, so those already familiar with Galaxy can safely arrive one half-hour late for the first session.
|See note on Galaxy in last paragraph of description.

"But Governor Daniels is trying to appease to Big Labor by stopping the Indiana Right to Work Bill (HB 1028) from even being voted on this year."
What I'm asking is, if we are to believe the Republican Governor is interested in the POTUS, how can he be in cahoots with the Indiana unions that certainly don't vote for any conservatives?

TUPELO – With Mississippi communities occupying five slots among the 25 deadliest tornadoes in U.S. history, emergency management and weather experts warn residents to prepare for severe weather as tornado season picks up speed.
March and April have notorious distinctions as prolific months for producing tornadoes in the state, National Weather Service in Jackson data shows. From 1950 to 2012, records show March having 232 twisters, April with 335 and May with 204. The only other comparable month is November, which has 229 tornadoes.
Tupelo's 1936 tornado, which caused at least 216 deaths, occurred on April 6. Mother Nature's strength can be as destructive as it is unpredictable.
On April 27, 2011, more than 50 tornadoes wreaked havoc in Mississippi and other Southern states and in other parts of the country. Since that destructive day, federal records show no more than 11 tornadoes – all of which have been relatively weak – have been reported in Mississippi north of Highway 82.
However, Grady Dixon, an associate professor of geosciences at Mississippi State University, warns that the period of fewer tornadoes shouldn't give a false sense of security.
"Of course, we can make up that difference in a single day," he said. "All it takes is one tornado to show how destructive they can be."
From 2001 to 2012, Mississippi has had an average of eight tornado-related deaths each year.
Lee Bowdry, emergency management director for Lee County, said people should take precautions ahead of severe weather.
"The more you prepare, the higher chance you have of surviving any kind of severe weather," Bowdry said.
He suggested having a weather radio or other means of monitoring weather conditions and access to a safe place to seek shelter if necessary.
Recently, Lee County added a weather siren in Mooreville and another in Saltillo for a combined 28 scattered throughout the county. A federal grant covered most of the costs of the new sirens, requiring the county to pay 5 percent of the costs.
If needed, the county also has plans to open up shelters in Baldwyn, Guntown, Nettleton, Plantersville, Saltillo, Shannon, Tupelo, Richmond and Verona.
To give quick notification of dangerous weather conditions, the Lee County Board of Supervisors and the Three Rivers Planning and Development District now provide phone, text message and email updates based on National Weather Service warnings.
The messages alert people moments after the NWS issues warnings of approaching severe weather.
People interested in the service can sign up at www.co.lee.ms.us or by calling Lee County Emergency Management at 841-9020.

Barriers to entry in open source projects.
One of the things that I've seen to be a downside in many open source projects is that while they embrace the licensing, but not necessarily the ideals that go with it.
It's all too easy to forget that the strength of open source is in it's community, and there are too many examples to mention of projects where getting involved in their communities is way harder than it should be.
Knowingly, and unknowingly, projects create barriers that prevent effective entry into the community and effective participation. How much of this is really necessary? How much of this is harmful, and how much can be done about it?

In Baltimore at Johns Hopkins, they've taken "the research from the paper to the kid," says Kim Mudd, a research nurse and the program's coordinator. Under the direction of allergist Dr. Robert Wood, she and her colleagues are working with close to 200 patients on baked milk or baked egg challenges. The children are coming into the clinic and are eating, under supervision, milk or egg in a muffin or cake that has been baked at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes.
The success rate with the baked form is remarkable: "Many of these kids outright failed straight-up milk or egg challenges, or have had a milk ingestion that resulted in significant symptoms," says Mudd.
These children are sent home from the clinic and told to keep baked milk (or egg) in their diet. They slowly increase the amount of baked allergen that's in the foods they eat and, over time, are encouraged to try foods that have been cooked for a shorter time. Pizza is one example, or a food with more milk and that's been cooked on the stove, such as pancakes. Some kids have eventually been able to tolerate milk that hasn't been heated.
Researchers at Mount Sinai, meanwhile, have been trying to figure out what it is that's different in the kids who can tolerate baked milk, versus those who can't. They've zeroed in on an answer, and it's to do with the way the immune system recognizes the amino acids in the protein.
When milk is heated, proteins change shape and for some people, this means their immune systems no longer recognize them as an allergen. Having this information is a step in the direction of allowing many more kids to eat baked egg or milk in the diet. As it stands, the baked food must be eaten for the first time in a controlled setting equipped with emergency medication.
"It's expensive, it's time-consuming, you have to have the right people, and it's hard to do," says Mudd. The Mount Sinai researchers are developing a blood test that could be used instead of an oral baked milk challenge to determine who can tolerate extensively heated milk. Sampson told reporters at the AAAAI meeting in February that, "if things in fact work out, [a commercial blood test for dairy] could be a couple of years away."
FOR GLAUBER, opening Theo's diet up to include baked egg and milk has been life-changing. "You don't have to worry about what's in baked goods. You get a hot dog, you can eat the bun. You can eat bread or crackers. Theo's just so excited, because it's things that he's always wanted to eat, like croissants," she said.
One interesting question that journalists raised at the AAAAI meeting: As baking allergens seems so obvious and as allergists had heard rumblings of children tolerating cookies or cakes but not a glass a milk, why had this type of therapy not been tried before?
"I think that we were a little bit uncomfortable with that, not completely understanding, or not thinking about the structural changes that may take place [to the proteins]," said Sampson.
But now, with more confidence in challenging kids to baked egg or milk, and a blood test in the works to help resolve who should tolerate the baked good, households that have been longing for the return of pizza night may soon be granted their wish.

If that sounds sad, so be it, but like whiskey, this book is also warming. The stories start and end with death, yet even with these mortal bookends they celebrate the melancholy joy of life. In the opener, "Lucy's Last Hurrah," Lucy is "eighty-two and her bones were tired" when she walks out into a winter storm. She's no longer running the bar by then, having turned it over to her lesbian bartender, Rita, so "none of her regulars knew she was quietly freezing to death that night, as they drifted in for happy hour and stayed out until dawn." But, as with many of these stories, that sense of sadness, longing, and even inappropriate drinking fits. "It's all right," Lucy is imagined to be thinking, "The heart is right to cry. Oh, darlings, enjoy the night."
Richard Russo fans will notice that Barry mines similar territory: Lucy's Bar and Russo's Empire Grill are set in the same kind of close-knit, dysfunctional Rust Belt community, where old loves and rivals rub up against each other because there's nowhere else to go. But Barry makes the Lucy's Bar crowd her own with detail that works like a gesture drawing, creating memorable characterization in a few strokes. Not much is explained, and not much needs to be; this novel is composed of short stories because Barry wastes no words. There's Linda, the advice columnist who rarely tells the truth — and whose own confidences to her long-distance boyfriend are filed under "Letters Not Sent." Grace, who "had given up hard liquor and cigarettes a few years before, after she'd found a lump in her breast, but she missed her old bad habits." And Bill, who had "sworn off women since his last girlfriend, Trish, left him for a piano tuner, but because Madeleine was new, and because she didn't seem to care if he lived or died, Bill found himself keeping an eye on her."

Compare great BMW Fan Belt prices in Golders Green with Who Can Fix My Car.
All round good garage. With good mechanics
Stayed late on a bank holiday weekend, fixed my car promptly. Great service from great guys.
The problem was identified as lack of oil in the gearbox, after driving for a few hours there is oil all over the underside of the car, my usual mechanic who i have brought the car back has said that this should have been identified. I essentially paid £110 for nothing.
Alternator broke on weekend. Used this site and mobile car service responded straight away with a great price. Booked in for Monday morning and fixed by the aftetnoon, couldn't have asked for more. Thanks.
Quick and efficient service, was very attentive and friendly in offering advice on what needed to be done. I will be definitely using in the future
Robert contacted me for the work and explained to me exactly what was needed and time required. He also helped me book the appointment for Saturday. He answered all my queries clearly. On the day as agreed, they started work as soon as I reached the garage and the work was completed on time as previously mentioned. Read brake pads and sensor were changed. Brake fluid was replaced. They also inspected the front brakes and discs and even suggested when I would need to change it and did not scare or persuade me to change it right away like some other garage had quoted me. Overall it has been a pleasant experience and I would definitely recommend C&R Motors and their team. Thanks guys
Very quick, polite and efficient
Really easy to book. I took the car in and was completed within the time agreed. This was fantastic cos I had other appointments booked. I was able to be on time . I would definitely recommend C & R Moters Ltd. Great job.
Thoroughly satisfied with the work carried out at this garage. Job was completed quickly and properly. Customer service was excellent also. Highly recommended.
The VERY best home delivery and service you could ever want! Thank you for the wonderful service, I shall definitely be back! its not often you find a garage that is honest and reliable.
Awesome garage! Good and fast service and really nice & friendly guys. Really reasonable pricing and honest work, highly recommended. Thanks Al and Patrick!
very professional and polite
excellent job
Awesome garage! Really good service and really nice bunch of guys, Happy to help and completely honest. Really reasonable quote but didn't skimp on the job. Great mechanics. Highly recommended. Cheers Al!
I had a great experience at Autowerke. They got back to me very fast with a great quote and when I arrived they had a lovely, welcoming atmosphere. They're a bit of a community hub as well so even local people and regular customers seem to pop in for an occasional chat. The work was done quickly and to a great standard. I will return there should I need any further work.
Did a good job, no problems
Good job!
Great quality and quick job, everything as described.
Good service, happy with the result.
I picked these chaps as they were reasonably close and had a good rating. I assumed they would call me as the email I received said but no one ever called and so I used someone else. I would give zero stars but the website won't let me.
Definitely Recommend this garage, great staff, very welcoming and friendly, gives honest advice and good service. Extra things were done without charge. A++++++++
You cannot trust them either..they didn't make oil change and they charge me 30£ for that job, what didn't do, some unreliable..i'm sitting customer room and i cannot see, what they do..watch out this garage..i cannot recommended them ! They try to charge brake discs too, discs not always need to change same time, when pads..
Job could have been done a little bit quicker but very good service overall!
Happy with the service provided. Job done well.
Good service and pleasant staff
This is an excellent local garage that I wish was more local to me - but worth the journey. Joe, who runs the office side of the business, is brilliant and reassuring (my car is extremely old). There were clear explanations at every stage and all the work was fast and efficient. I highly recommend this garage
Efficient service, repair as requested, competitive price, car left clean etc. Recommended
Efficient service, repair as requested, competitive price, car left clean etc. Recommended

very good service, kept informed of all works that car needed with costs agreed.very professional to deal with and will use again.

By Riley Manning/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Members of the Temple of B'Nai Israel gathered Tuesday night at the Tupelo Country Club to celebrate one of the greatest occasions in Jewish history: the liberation of their people from Egypt.
Leader of the service, Marc Perler said the holiday actually began Monday night, but custom dictates Jews spend the actual night of Passover with their individual families.
In the Exodus story, the 10th plague was sent to claim the lives of Egypt's first–born children. Jews were instructed to stay in their homes and mark their doorway with lamb's blood so the plague would pass over their houses.
Likewise, the tradition recalls this Biblical moment, which, for Jews, brings mixed emotions.
"Both sides suffered. Jews from their bondage and the oppressors from the plagues," Perler said. "Our freedom came at such a high price, and our celebration is tempered by both sufferings."
The second night of Passover brings Jewish families together as a community.
To commemorate the pain of Jews and Egyptians, the some 50 Temple B'Nai members removed one spoonful of wine with each mention of a plague, as they recounted the Exodus story together over dinner. They broke and ate matzo, the flat bread Perler said harkens back to the Passover story.
"When Pharaoh released the Jews, they left so quickly the bread was not allowed time to rise," he said. "For this reason, Passover is sometimes called 'the Festival of Unleavened Bread.'"
At the conclusion of the story, the youngest able member stood and ask customary questions that detail the importance of their ritual. The rest of the members answered in call-and-response fashion.
Perler said the inculcation of these traditions in Jewish young is crucial in the continuation of the faith. That way, services may be conducted without a rabbi.
He said even though Christians refer to the Torah as the Old Testament, the past is not so distant for Jews.
"The Torah is the history of creation, of mankind. It sets the groundwork for who we are, who we will become," he said. "The Passover story represents our daily liberation, and our obligation to God to be a light unto nations."

In the months following the 1968 bushfires around Upwey and the surrounding region, Williams became increasingly interested in conveying the regeneration of the plants. Over time he made many engaging drawings, gouaches and oils of ferns as they gradually sprang back into life, including Burnt ferns. Here, the magnified shapes of the fern plants appear to dance across the ground, a joyful renewal of life after considerable loss.
