I enjoyed your discussion of the Molecular Therapy paper in this week's TWiV. My lab (and others) have worked on using virus particles as scaffolds to increase the immunogenicity of various targets for quite some time. One thing that wanted to point out (and to correct one of the comments of Rich, I believe), is that this strategy actually IS effective at targeting self-antigens—we can efficiently overcome the mechanisms of B cell tolerance by displaying self-antigens on virus particles. My lab has done a number of studies in animal models, and a Swiss company, Cytos, has actually run clinical trials of virus-particle-based vaccines targeting self-molecules involved in various diseases (Alzheimer's and hypertension).
Thanks again for the enjoyable podcast.

I am a graduate student in biophysics who discovered your podcast in December after finding your blog, all while working on a term paper about EBOV vaccines for my mammalian viruses biochemistry course... Despite my physics background, i have been interested in viruses since reading "The Hot Zone" in junior high.
I just listened to twiv 119, and after looking at some of the comments posted below 119, i have wondered what consideration has been taken to produce a vaccine based on a killed virus via formalin or oxidizing radiation, or attenuation. But i must be jumping ahead, since i have not done any journal search about whether or not the virus has been cultured (e.g. HeLa, monkey kidney cells).
I have been working backwards through the TWIV archive, and have yet to get to the double digits, but so far i do not recall if yourself and the other hosts have mentioned that topic about XMRV. If XMRV has crossed the species barrier into humans, then it seems likely that most of the population would have antibodies against it, much like the Epstein Barr V, given that mice follow humans everywhere (there are no rats in alberta).
Good show overall. Keep up the good work, eh.

Congratulations on your great netcast.
I will shortly commence my Virology course for 2011, and I have 165 students, up from 74 last year. I'm thrilled and delighted to have discovered TWIV, which covers so much of the exciting, stimulating stuff that I talk about to my students.
I will be telling them to go straight to your site, so please keep it up.
By the way, if either of you are ever in Adelaide, Australia, let me know. You will be in grave danger of being dragged in to talk to my students, to tell them just how fascinating viruses are,

This week in science, there was an article way at the bottom concerning a phenomenal display of virus/host evolution.
This study found that metastasizing Leishmania parasites actually harbor a virus that stimulates the immune system creating an inflated inflammatory response in the human host, which was seen to lead to a higher reproductive success for the parasite. WOW! From a wider lens in virology, this may not seem to be surprising, as in bacteria this is more common. Phage can transfer many beneficial genes to help bacteria to adapt to many diverse environments, including humans. Although in this particular case were talking about a different type of assistance, dsRNA mediated inflammatory enhancement. Furthermore, in a article on a science news website(http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-02-virus-parasite-combine-humans.html), the authors said "This is the first reported case of a viral infection in a pathogen of this type leading to increased rather than reduced pathogenicity,". This raises many questions concerning other protozoan parasites and whether their virus partners (exogenous...or endogenous?) assist their parasitic lifestyle. Certain virologists have long assumed that viruses assist symbiotic interactions between distant species (such as Luis Villarreal at UCI), where for example, they extend gene addiction to a possible mechanism of mutualism generation.
How widespread do you think this phenomenon is? Could viruses be used as defense, phage from our normal microbiome that possibly infect invading bacteria? Or, persistent viruses like TT viruses, which possibly infect cellular pathogens? No evidence for that however....

Thanks so much for your podcasts. I always learn a lot from you. I just finished listening to your interview with David Tuller, which I enjoyed.
You made a number of confident statements about the certainty that science will figure out what's really going on with XMRV. I'd love to hear more about your perspective on Elaine Defreitas's work on an HLTV2-like retrovirus from a long time ago, because one of the discouraging things about what I've heard about that story is that it seemed like science didn't figure out what was really going on. I'd love to hear if you agree with that perspective or if there's more to the story than what I understand.
Thanks so much for your work.

Dear TWiV hosts,
I enjoy your program for several weeks. I enjoy it very much (including TWiP). I find it very interesting, even for people which are not from the discipline. I wish to give something back, so I have several suggestion which, I think, will make it even better.
The podcast is usually very long, and un-edited. It will be nicer if every episode will be specific for limited number of topics which can be discussed during up to one hour.
The topic of discussion should be cleared at the beginning. New terms and method should be explained at the first mention. Vincent does it in TWiP, and maybe forget it in TWiV, because he is so familiar with the subject, he forget that not every body are.
No need for reading all e-mails in the podcast :-)
Hopefully, I will start my own science podcast (the first Hebrew one), inspired by you, and other podcast on the sciencepodcasters.org
and one last thing before wishing best regards and closing this letter, use Celsius degrees (or Kelvin), out of the US no one can understand if it cold or warm there :-)
Best regards and have a nice week

Hi Twiv
Im listening to twiv #118, one of the emails asked about virus like particles used in vaccines and you discussed that capsid proteins are capable of self assembly. I believe it was Allan that said it was like a bag of magnets coming together to form the structure. Here is a link to a video of magnetic "capsid proteins", which when shaken in a container eventually form an icosahedral shell. I use it in my virology class to demonstrate what I mean by self assembly.

I began listening to TWiV to learn the current state of understanding of XMRV because my wife has had Fibromyalgia/Chronic Fatigue for about 2 1/2 years. This was diagnosed at the Mayo Clinic in February 2010. I found your podcasts dealing with XMRV interesting and educational and have become hooked on TWiV and TWiP (have my TWiV coffee mug ordered) and am in the process of listing to all the back episodes.
I also wanted to let you know about the website bookfinder.com. In episode #9 you mentioned a book named Fever by John G Fuller. It is not currently in print, but you can get used copies through bookfinder. I collect first edition speculative fiction (science fiction) and use this site daily. If it has been published you can probably find it here.

That was a great episode. I love it when there are guests on TWIV that get into the 'oral history' of different viral subjects.

I'm already having them update virology entries on wikipedia for extra credit.
If you ever have Alan Rein on again should ask him to tell you about how the word 'pseudotyping' was coined. It's another really interesting science history story that I don't believe has been written down anywhere.

It's being reported on Facebook that neither Frank and Sandra Ruscetti nor Judy Mikovits has been invited to the upcoming CROI conference. The committee also rejected at least one of their abstracts on XMRV and immune dysfunction.
While there will be discussion of XMRV at the conference the emphasis will be on contamination and negative studies. The absence of Mikovits and the Ruscetti means that they will not be able to offer even a critique of these arguments, let alone defend their own work.
I've appreciated your programs on XMRV and the last one with David Tuller, even if sometimes I've been critical of things you've said. But how much faith can a lay person like me have in the "scientific process" if important views are marginalized. Where does the debate take place if not at a meeting like this?

Dear TWiV Team,
My name is Michael Walsh and I am on the faculty at SUNY, Downstate in the the School of Public Health in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. I have enjoyed listening to your podcasts for quite sometime. I find TWiV, TWiP, and now TWiM, very engaging. I really appreciate the personalities of each of you four, Vincent, Dickson, Rich, and Alan, and the casual, yet unflinching approach taken with each topic.
As an epidemiologist, one of my primary areas of research is the interface between infectious disease, climate, and geography. I use the application of GIS methods frequently in my work and was quite interested by a recent paper in the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene reporting on land use and West Nile virus, a focus of some of my own work here in New York State. I found the results interesting, though as a skeptic and a bias-wary epidemiologist, I think it is difficult to draw inference from county level data of WNV cases. And as we all know, correlation does not equal causation. When I was reading this paper, I immediately thought of Dickson. I have listened to the many discussions you've had on TWiV regarding WNV and I've always quite appreciated Dickson's point of view with respect to the complex ecology of this infection. For example, I think the hypothesis that increased incidence of human WNV infection can result from drier weather that provokes greater bird dispersal leaving humans as a more available mosquito host is well-founded. I would like to see (or undertake) some better studies that combine population-based epidemiology and multi-species ecology to get at a better understanding of this process. As regards the paper, I'd like to hear Dickson's opinion on the juxtaposition of an "Eastern" and "Western" WNV in the United States, based on the former being an urban disease and the latter being a rural disease as described by the authors. The authors posit that regional differences in the distribution of human WNV incidence between the eastern US and western US can be delineated by distinctions in land cover across these two regions (developed/urban land versus rural land). Moreover, they suggest that these land cover differences correspond to similar differences in the distributions of Culex pipiens and C. tarsalis between the two regions. The authors attribute differences in WNV incidence to the exploitation of different local environments by the two culicine mosquitoes. I am interested to hear your thoughts, particularly with respect to how such regional distinctions, if true, may fit with the overall dissemination of the virus from east to west across the United States from 1999 to 2006. I am wary of the aggregate data which were used to measure incidence, and we also do not get a clear picture of the finer resolution of the mosquito and bird ecologies that must also be at play. Nevertheless, I do think it is an interesting hypothesis-paper.
Keep up the excellent quality of your podcasts. All four of you provide a true gem to anyone interested in virology, infectious disease, or science in general. You do a great public service and I, for one, very much appreciate your efforts.
Also, I have a blog on infectious disease called Infection Landscapes, at http://infectionlandscapes.blogspot.com/

The podcast is called Omega tau and can be found at http://omegataupodcast.net/category/podcast-en/ The host is German but is kind enough to do a fair number of really interesting English podcasts. The show is a bit like Futures in Biotech in style (ie interviews vs panel). Topics range from quantum computing to flying the space shuttle to electron microscopes. Check it out.

Dear TWiV,
Could it be that viruses are implied in a wider range of diseases than we currently think? Sciencedaily published an article today where they state that ALS could be caused by a human retrovirus. I know that we are in a discussion right now, where XMRV could turn out not be the cause of CFS or some other disease but this does not have to be true for other diseases and retroviruses. Please keep up the great work and I'd love to hear you guys talk about it.

Hello Vincent, Dick, Alan, and Rich,
My name is Kari. I am currently a graduate student in the Baric lab at UNC Chapel Hill in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology. I love listening to your podcast, being turned onto it by Eric Donaldson whom you have had on to talk about the bat virome. Eric's work on bats is great, but equally great is his work with noroviruses. I may be a little bit biased, working on noroviruses and all, but I think it's high time you do an episode on this virus since it affects pretty much everyone at one point or another (I like to call it the puking/pooping virus). In the United States alone, over 23 million people get norovirus each year! I could go on and on about my virus, but I would rather have you guys do that on an upcoming episode :) Thanks again for doing TWIV! I love it!
Best Regards,
UNC-Chapel Hill

Several weeks ago I had occasion to speak with Dr Judy Mikovits. I mentioned your podcast show to her, and she said that she and Frank (I assume she meant Dr Frank Ruscetti) would be willing to be guests on TWIV. I think it would be fascinating to have both of them on the same show, and hear your usual free-ranging chat between you regulars and the two of them. From what I understand from our conversation, WPI has finally been able to raise enough funds to buy their own sequencer, and they have a lot of ideas about what they'd like to investigate in regards to XMRV, polymorphic forms, etc.
I am including the contact information for the Whittemore Peterson Institute below, in case it would be useful to you. In my experience trying to speak to Dr Mikovits, the "guardians at the gate" are diligent in screening her calls. If you don't have any luck arranging something through the media contact below, you might succeed by speaking to Dr Mikovits directly, since she did clearly say in our conversation that she'd be interested in talking with you. (I eventually got through to her by doing some name dropping, "Dr Klimas suggested i..." etc. I'm not proud--whatever works!)
Disclaimer: Although I listen to all episodes of TWIV and find them fascinating, I have a particular interest in XMRV because I tested positive for XMRV via serology (antibodies). This was through WPI and participation in one of their studies. I've been ill for many years with CFS, and I follow as much as I can of the science relating to CFS. I don't know whether XMRV will turn out to be the answer, but it certainly is interesting. The work with spinal fluid proteins associated with CFS and fibromyalgia is also very promising. I was raised with a scientific background, and I hope very much that CFS will become understood and effective treatments available some day.
Again, thank you for a very interesting show.
Sophie writes: (with respect to 'The decline effect and the scientific method')
I think this article is quite disturbing. Even if the author is right I have a serious problem with sentences like: "If replication is what separates the rigor of science from the squishiness of pseudoscience, where do we put all these rigorously validated findings that can no longer be proved? Which results should we believe?" It seems to me that it is a problem at the moment, for the general public to distinguish between real science and more alternative things (like homeopathy) and I think this article might give, as Mr. Marc Crislip puts it: "The alternative wackaloos" even more ammunition, even though it is unwarranted. I also think it is a big problem that, as Alan points out, the beginning is sensational, because if somebody doesn't read the article through, they might draw the wrong conclusions.
Besides that I find it really interesting, and would like you guys to talk more about it. At least in Denmark, it isn't a problem most science-students know about and it isn't discussed in class and I think it should, to avoid bachelor students ending up finding out about this in their first really important paper/assignment.
In general I think there should be more focus on the problems with science, so we are prepared to handle these things before we get out in the "real world".
We just had a case of a cheating brain-scientist, who now has been convicted of using research money for clothes and stuff, trying to blame this on one of her students and faking mouse-experiments results. It was quite clear that the system isn't really geared towards handling these cases. Both this and the MRI-autism study might have been caught way earlier, if scientist were more aware of potential problems.
Please discuss and sorry for the rant:)
Sincerely Sophie

Hi Vincent, Dick, Alan, et al.
In TWIV 70 you talked about host manipulation by 'outside invaders', i.e., viruses, parasites, etc. An article giving many examples of this type of manipulation can be found in the Scientific American of March 2003. The author of this article is Robert Sapolsky & is entitled 'Bugs In The Brain'.
I enjoy TWIV immensely & was introduced to TWIV by a friend whose daughter took a virology course at Columbia University. Listening to TWIV was part of her assignments. I, myself, am an alumna of Barnard & have worked extensively in various areas of cardiovascular physiology. Keep up the great programs of TWIV & TWIP.

Hi Vincent and gang,
First I would like to say thank you for a great podcast. I am a parasitologist who recently started a job in Virology and I found twiv after watching your lecture series at http://microbiology.columbia.edu/w3310.html (thanks for that too!). I drive for 2 to 3 hours a day, depending on traffic, and twiv and twip have been keeping me sane as well as brushing up my science.
By the way, I am now up to date with twip - 1 month is too long to wait for the next one! So my question relates to a statement you made about growing influenza in cell culture. You said that in order to get a high titre of virus from a cell monolayer you had to start with a low MOI. This is general question but I work with avian influenza and I can't understand why this would be the case. This is why: There are a limited number of cells in the monolayer Influenza causes lysis of the cell and presumably there is a limit to the number of virus particles produced by each cell Therefore the MOI will only affect how fast the final virus titre is reached. The variability in final virus titre may therefore be due to when the flasks are harvested. If I have got this wrong I would gladly be corrected.
I have not finished listening to all twiv episodes (thank goodness as it really does help with the driving), so you may have answered this question.
Thanks and keep up the good work,

Dear TWiVtastic Four,
I must disclose that I thoroughly enjoyed this most recent episode (#124).
I think it had a nice mix of detailed science, some insight into how science in the modern age works, a nice nuanced discussion of what to do about smallpox and plenty of puns. If people think in anyway similar to me they think of some nebulous 'smallpox' vials kept in cold storage somewhere like the DNA was in Jurassic Park, where security is as weak as having just one Wayne Knight as the IT guy. Obviously that's a bit of a caricature but I think you get the idea. When the listener e-mail about funding came up in my head I was already rambling similar to what Alan said so I was quite pleased to hear him articulate my reactionary thoughts better than I was rambling internally. Speaking of Alan, I knew this would be a good episode due to a critical measure in TWiV quality. That is the time-to-pun measure. When Alan is in top form it's nice and low. And there was Dick right at the end for the walk-off victory with the vertical farming quip.
So in summary, great guest, great topics, great to have everyone back and to know that Dick has no escape from the podcasting. Someone send him a fishing video game so he won't have to travel.
Sven-Urban writes:
In the latest epi... Oh, by the way, why am I able to address you like that? Why not "Ladies and Gentlemen"?... Sorry, that was a glitch, let's reboot:
In the latest episode as of this writing, #124, you were once again talking about the possibly pending call for destruction of all known smallpox virus stocks. You also mentioned that nowadays, as the genetic code is known (for some of the lines, at least), it would be possible to reconstruct the virus from scratch, although it would be with som difficulties. Not that I'm about to try it at home (my wife might object - and she's both a better chemist and a better cook than I am anyway), but how would you go about it, and what would the largest hurdles be? Would it be done in test tubes and reactors, or would you enlist the aid of some poor, doomed cell to do it for you? And would you, really, get a "proper", healthy virus, alive and kicking, as a result? A somewhat thorough step-by-step overview would be much appreciated!
As an aside, I would once again like to suggest a "listener POTW", this time the three "The Science of Discworld" books by Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart and Jack Cohen:
The Science of Discworld
The Science of Discworld II, The Globe
The Science of Discworld III, Darwins Watch
In these books (all available in paper back) the authors explore science - particularly physics, cosmology and evolution - as seen through the eyes and sharp but weird minds of the denizens and wizards of Discworld. These books are GOOD, and anyone who is at least reasonably familiar with science and happens to like Discworld will love these hilarious, but also very serious, books!
Best Regards from a thawing Sweden!

Types of Assessment
Assessing in Different Ways
Assessment is a common practice in today's classrooms. It usually takes place in predictable ways in traditional formats. A wide variety of assessment options are available, however, to meet the instructional needs of teachers and the learning needs of students.
Formative Assessment
Although tests and exams are not going to disappear from schools, student learning can be greatly enhanced when information from a wide variety of kinds of assessment is used to inform instruction, provide feedback, and evaluate products and performances. The kind of assessment that occurs before and during a unit of study is called formative assessment.
Several strategies of formative assessment give students and teachers the kinds of information they need to improve learning:
- Strategies for gauging student needs, such as examining student work, analyzing graphic organizers, and brainstorming
- Strategies to encourage self-direction, such as self-assessment, peer feedback, and cooperative grouping
- Strategies for monitoring progress, such as informal observations, anecdotal notes, and learning logs
- Strategies to check for understanding, such as journals, interviews, and informal questioning
Summative Assessment
While formative assessments can give students and teachers information about how well they are doing while they are working on projects, at some point, most teachers are required to give a report on student learning at the end of a particular unit or on a particular project. Students also want and need to know how well they have done. This kind of assessment, done after the fact, is called summative assessment.
Summative assessments, like unit tests, can provide useful information if teachers and students take the time to look at them analytically. Teachers can find areas of weakness to address in more depth in future units and with future groups of students. Students can identify problem areas and set goals for future learning.
Assessment Scenarios
Compare the experiences of students in two different classrooms, one with traditional assessment and another where assessment is ongoing and continuous.

Arsène Wenger sees the FA Cup as "a bonus" but it's one he plans to cash in this season.
The Frenchman has won the competition four times since taking over as Arsenal manager and he takes the first step on another road to Wembley when Leeds United visit Emirates Stadium tonight.
No manager would suggest that FA Cup triumphs alone can sustain a club at the highest level and that's why a top-four Premier League finish is Wenger's first goal every season. But he would dearly love to get his hands on the famous old trophy in May.
"It is more important [to be in the Champions League every season] but that does not mean it's not important to win on Monday," said Wenger. "It's very important for us.
"The basis of our life at the top level is dictated by the championship. If we can add on top of that the FA Cup it is fantastic. But our life, at the level where we are, with the wages we have, and the aspirations we have, is to play in the Champions League. After that you want, of course to win all the other trophies.
"For us it's not comparable, the FA Cup and Champions League. The Champions League is compulsory. The FA Cup is something that is for enjoyment. It is a bonus that we want. While the Champions League, for us, is something that is needed."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Green Bay Falls 2-1 in Horizon League Opener
By: Jill Wunrow
DETROIT, Mich. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - After taking a 1-0 lead early in the second half, the Green Bay (2-3-1, 0-1 HL) men's soccer team wrapped up its four-game road swing falling 2-1 at Detroit (3-4-0, 1-0 HL) in its Horizon League opener Friday, Sept. 14 at Titan Field.
Green Bay opened the first period outshooting Detroit 7-1 but both teams remained scoreless at the break.
Less than three minutes into the second half, junior forward Sam Krenzien (Wauwatosa, Wis.) scored the first goal of the contest off a corner kick from Whitney Browne (Brooklyn Park, Minn.). The header goal was Krenzien's first of the season and Browne's first assist.
Less than two minutes later, Green Bay was called for a foul which resulted in Detroit's Adam Bedell scoring the equalizing goal on a penalty kick.
Late in the 51st minute, Krenzien fired one of his team high three shots but was too high off the mark.
Detroit grabbed control offensively and took the next three shots. In the 57th minute Bedell found Matt Harkema in the far corner for the eventual game-winning goal.
Both teams finished the game with nine shots each with Detroit earning one more (4-3) corner kick than Green Bay. Krenzien, William Donovan (St. Charles, Mo.) and Ahmad Bad (Brooklyn Park, Minn.) all led the Phoenix with three shots a piece.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE... For the first time since Aug. 31 Green Bay returns to Aldo Santaga Stadium Tuesday, Sept. 18 where it hosts SIU-Edwardsville at 7 p.m. Sept. 21-23 Green Bay is back on the road and will head to Oregon for the Oregon State Tournament.

since i already have a 229 with both 357.sig and .40 barrel it was natural for me to want the .357 barrel for my xd40 v-10. looked around on the net and only found a 3 inch and a 5 inch for sale used so i took the "new" approach.
firedragon was the only one that had it in stock and didn't have to "make one or wait for someone else to make one."
it was drop in and worked great with no filing or fitting required. . the recoil of the .357 sig is different on the lighter xd than on the 229 but if you shoot both it is no huge difference. .357 is more of a handful on the xd but i like it that way
the 357sig is a hot little round that takes some practice to control in any weapon but worth the effort in my book. there was also the difference between the ported .40 and the non ported .357sig barrels but it was slight.
the best part of the .357 barrel was still being able to see the front sight without cleaning it after 30 rounds. :mrgreen:
the ported barrel makes the front sight dirty after about 30 but that is irrelavant in a carry gun.
both of these guns are carried.
bottom group is 50 with the xd in .357 . not bad for first time shooting that round through my xd.
the middle is 50 .40 through the 229 .
the top is 50 through the xd with the .40 ported .
i was using 2 had grip(practice, practice, practice the "master grip") at 21 feet with no rapid fire but reaquiring target as fast as possible before next round left.
the .357 sig was wwb ammo
the .40 was 50 american and 50 federal
happy all the way.
would reccomend the firedargon barrel highly as far as service , quailty, fit and finish, and accuracy.

Fox Squirrel
Sciurus niger
by Mike Carraway
Updated by Colleen Olfenbuttel
North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.
Class: Mammalia
Order: Rodentia
Average Size
Length: 20-26 in.
Weight: 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 lbs.
Pine seeds, acorns, hickory nuts, buds, berries, fungi and some insects.
Fox squirrels generally mate in midwinter. Females breed when they are 1 year old, and occasionally, in years when food availability is high; older females may breed again in summer and produce a second litter.
Litters of 1 to 5 young are usually born in February or March after a gestation period of 44 days. Fox squirrels are blind and hairless at birth and open their eyes after 4 to 5 weeks. Young are weaned at 8 to 9 weeks of age and may remain with the adult for another month.
Life Expectancy
Fox squirrels that survive to become adults live an average of 3 to 4 years. Maximum life expectancy in the wild is generally 6
to 7 years, but individuals have been known to live as long as 12 years.
Range and Distribution
The fox squirrel is a native of North America that occurs in the eastern United States, except for New England. There are two distinct populations: western and southeastern. Western fox squirrels range from the Ohio Valley to Oklahoma. Southeastern fox squirrels range from Texas to Maryland and south to Florida.
General Information
The largest and most colorful tree squirrel in North Carolina, the fox squirrel lives primarily in mature longleaf pine and open pine-oak forests in the Sandhills and southern Coastal Plain. The fox squirrel is about twice as large as the gray squirrel, and individuals exhibit a variety of color phases and patterns ranging from gray to black to red.
Southeastern fox squirrels occur in a variety of color phases. Most in North Carolina are grayish, with various patches of black on the head and feet and white patches on the nose, paws and ear tips.Some animals are almost totally black with dark gray patches, and others are reddish or rust colored. Rare specimens from western North Carolina are generally red and probably belong to a midwestern race of fox squirrels.
Adults are much larger than the more common gray squirrel and the western fox squirrels found in the Midwest. They range in length from 20 to 26 in. and weigh from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 lbs.
History and Status
Fox squirrels were once more widely distributed in North Carolina than they are today. Their preferred habitat, longleaf pine forests, was once common in the southern Coastal Plain but has mostly disappeared from the landscape. Timber management practices favor loblolly pine regeneration and are often based on clearcutting, 40-year rotations, and suppression of natural fires, which restrict the number of open old-growth longleaf pine forests.
Because fox squirrels are solitary animals, their population densities are generally low even in areas where they are considered common. Large areas of habitat are needed to support viable populations. Stable populations of fox squirrels still exist in southeastern North Carolina but are often located in isolated pockets of habitat.
Habitat and Habits
Fox squirrels in North Carolina inhabit mostly open, mature pine-oak forests. Food habits are highly variable according to season. The most common foods are seeds from green and mature pinecones, acorns, hickory nuts, buds and berries from a variety of plants, fungi, and insects.
Fox squirrels are diurnal and are generally active for 8 to 14 hours a day. They are not territorial but are solitary and asocial except when breeding or rearing young. Tree cavity nests are very important for rearing young and providing protection from winter weather. These nests are usually found in large old hardwood trees, ancient flattop longleaf pines, or dead standing trees, and are often located on wetland edges next to mature pine-oak forests. Leaf nests are often constructed during warmer months in the limbs of oak or pine trees or occasionally on the ground.
The large size of the southeastern fox squirrel is thought to be related in several ways to the open forests of longleaf pine. The trees in these forests are widely spaced, requiring the squirrel to travel overland to forage rather than from tree to tree like flying squirrels or gray squirrels. Also, the green longleaf pinecones are much larger than those from other southeastern pines, and only the fox squirrel has the size and strength to manipulate the cone and remove the nutritious seeds that form an important part of the animal's diet.
There are no natural predators that regularly capture adult fox squirrels, but individuals are occasionally preyed upon by bobcats, foxes and great horned owls. Young squirrels in the nest are vulnerable to snakes, raccoons and opossums.
People Interactions
Fox squirrels are active during daylight hours and are occasionally seen by people. They are considered a trophy by hunters and are often mounted. They occasionally raid grain or cornfields for food and may cause some minor damage to crops.
The fox squirrel is listed as a game species in North Carolina. Where they do occur in the state, their populations are healthy enough to withstand hunting pressure. Fox squirrels are considered vulnerable in some areas because there are locations with good habitat for this species, yet there are no fox squirrels there. The likely reason is that habitat has been drastically fragmented and it has been difficult for fox squirrels to disperse to the better habitat. The current range is smaller than the historical range.
NCWRC Interaction: How You Can Help
Fox squirrels prefer habitats composed of mature, open pine-oak and longleaf pine forests. But certain management practices, such as large-scale replacement of longleaf pine with loblolly pine, shortened stand rotation, and fire-suppression, coupled with suburban and urban development, have led to a reduction and fragmentation of preferred habitat.
Homeowners and developers can create habitat for fox squirrels by creating areas on their property that encourage the growth and/or maintenance of mature hardwoods and longleaf pines. Management around streams can provide both habitat and travel corridors for fox squirrels, which would aid in reducing fragmentation between preferred habitats.

i live in watauga county and we have gray squirrels and a little tiny squirrel the natives call boomers - they are reddish like a fox.
in raleigh, we had gray squirrels that were large. could these be the fox squirrel?
it is all confusing
btw, at kent state in ohio they have solid black squirrels. wow... i was so impressed.
After looking at pictures on
After looking at pictures on line I am convinced that I have seen a red squirrel in my yard. Every thing I have read says they do not live in my part of the state, the coastal plain. Is it possible they have migrated to this area?
Dear Connie,
Dear Connie,
Thanks for visiting NCpedia and taking a few minutes to post your observations and question.
Depending on where you live in North Carolina, it is definitely possible that you have seen a red squirrel. This link goes to a "North Carolina Species Report" from North Carolina State University (from 2005) about the distribution of the red squirrel across the state. This map indicates that the red squirrel was found primarily in the western counties, at least as of 2005. http://www.basic.ncsu.edu/ncgap/sppreport/amafb08010.html
An additional resource on the fox squirrel (which can be red) comes from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission http://www.ncwildlife.org/Portals/0/Learning/documents/Species/foxsquirrel.pdf
And you may want to visit their website to find more information about North Carolina wildlife or to find their contact information. http://www.ncwildlife.org/Learning/Species.aspx
Thanks very much for visiting NCpedia and sharing your wildlife experience and question with us.

I recently started on a Bo-Katan costume. I really liked/like the owl-shape on/of her helmet and it also was the first part of the costume I now have... lol :lol I was searching for more parts/tips/references of her costume when I came across this forum, of which I soon realized that it's awesome and wanted to be part of :)
It's great being among you guys! Hope to know you all better soon!

Backtrack 3 Final does not include the utility formerly known as "set ip address" in BT2. This handy utility could easily configure Ethernet network card eth0. To remedy this problem, I just made a little script that I give you: Backtrack Network Manager.
First, download Backtrack Network Manager:
-Backtrack Network Manager (in french)
-Backtrack Network Manager (in english)
Ok, so here is a little explanation about how to use this tool and what it can do:
It's a shell script, so you must make it executable, right click on it (the script is called network.sh), properties, permissions, "is executable", yes. Now that the script is executable, you can put it in /usr/bin, so you can use it in a shell, wherever you are. Open a shell and:
All you have to do is select your option, and enter the informations asked, the script will configure your eth0 card for you.Code:network.sh
Here is the menu:
The script allows:
- Activate/desactivate eth0
- Display eth0 informations
- Set ip address, subnet mask and gateway for eth0
- Configure the dns server for eth0
- Activate the dhcp for eth0
- Test the network with a ping
Everything is almost automatic.
You can find more details about the script here: Backtrack Network Manager little how to (in french). You can use the translation tools available for free on the net to translate that.
Of course, the script is very simple and can be improved, but it is already a functional basis, which I hope, can help

One of my favorite passtimes at work is to peruse the threads of TDH, which is lucky for me since recently they blocked the ebay from us and if ya'll don't know what down range rock is, it's a great website withabout a bajillion flash games. But the worst thing is that they block all images from the hosting sites like photo bucket, which can really hinder the awesomeness of some threads.

It was a loss written all over it and we pulled out a win. The kids do need the burn, but I also think we need to start holding them accountable for there play... they need "some" mins handed to them each game but for extended mins they need to earn them in game. I didn't watch it with my eyes so i am making judgments half supported but by looking at the stats the only bench player that played well was stuckey, Amir has been great in the plus minus numbers lately and last night he was negative... he did get in he did get a chance to make a difference and he didn't have it last night. maybe its the back to back for him? remember he's not use to the nightly grind yet. Lets see how they kids come to play wed. Were a work in progress, and as long as we keep taking steps forward think how scary we can be in June.

This exclusive knit is square and dense, creating a rugged yet soft fabric with inherent stretch and long-wearing durability. Our Shak fabric is best used as a midlayer but is soft enough to wear as an expedition-weight baselayer and substantial enough to be used as an outerlayer in some conditions. No matter how you wear it, the performance is unbeatable. Machine washable.

|Fun route taking the Southeast Ridge up. Not a single other person, bright blue sky and absolutely no wind. Taking the East Slope Trail down was another story. 50+ people, strong winds and monotonous trail. Should of traversed to Paiute to avoid the crowds. At least I will know next time. Overall, a perfect day to spend the Fourth of July.

|Route Climbed: Blue Lake Loop Date Climbed: June 18, 2005
|An easy ascent via East Slopes, no snowshoes necessary. When you reach the saddle between Audubon and "Notabon", take a peek over the edge to the Coney Lakes basin below. It's a spectacular sight. Watch out for the wind that comes screaming up from the basin, however. I almost got knocked back onto my butt! (I attempted to climb Audubon in May via this basin, but the snow was too deep w/the long approach I had) A glissade down Crooked Couloir, described as "very steep gully" in the route description, is highly recommended if snow conditions permit. Be sure you have an ax to control speed on this one, it is very steep, and is almost 2,000 vertical feet! We probably could have put on our snowshoes when down in the basin, as the snow was pretty soft at 11am and still very deep. Snowshoes will be unnecessary in a few weeks... A great route all-around.

|I've been on this ridge three times. Weather turned me back at the notch the first time-I quickly descended into the east face cirque to dump altitude. Second time was the charm. Snow helps make this route easier, covering the scree and talus down low, and allows a quick descent/ascent of the south facing couloir into the notch if you're so inclined. The 'Headwall' out of the notch was mostly turf on my June, 20 ascent. Third attempt exceeded my partner's comfort level at the notch. Bring a rope to rap if you're worried about this notorious downclimb, although I went without on all my attempts. Also ascended from Paiute's connecting ridge in September?, 2004. Simple third class scramble, with insane wind.

|Climbed with Georg Betsy on a beautiful, clear day with only variable winds (contrary to forecasts). Amazing views all around, but a bad day for altitude--I recently moved from WA. Sick and lethargic towards the summit and pretty much the whole way out. Some navigational challenges orienteering our way back to the lake, made even more fun (can you hear the irony?) by deep, deep snow in the woods to plod through. Despite being sick, a great trip.

'Buffalo started the extra frame with a power play as Tkachuk was issued a slashing call as time expired in regulation, but the Sabres were unable to take advantage and with 1:14 remaining in overtime Jaroslav Spacek was called for holding Ilya Kovalchuk. Atlanta brought the puck into the Buffalo end and Alexei Zhitnik sent a pass from the high slot to Slava Kozlov, who used a touch pass to get the puck to the slot where Tkachuk fired a wrister into the right corner of the net to win the game.'

Arkansas Razorback Coach Bret Bielema Visits Texarkana [PHOTOS/VIDEO]
Last night the annual Texarkana Razorback Club Dinner was held at the Elks Lodge on Garland Street. The crowd was full of fans dressed in red and white. We enjoyed a fabulous dinner from Big Jakes and the speakers were informative as well as very entertaining. We were surprised to learn that Coach Bielema is quite the auctioneer.

Marine Life on Hawaii Island
From indigenous marine life to friendly seasonal visitors, the warm waters of Hawaii Island are home to a variety of sea animals that can be easily discovered—if you know where to look.
Manta Rays (Hahalua)
The mysterious manta ray is one of the largest fishes in the ocean with wingspans of up to 20 feet or more but unlike stingrays or eagle rays, mantas do not have stingers. The Kona Coast is the best place to spot friendly manta rays at night. You can see them attracted to the spotlights in the waters off of resorts like the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and Sheraton Kona Resort & Spa at Keauhou Bay, just south of Historic Kailua Village (Kailua-Kona). Or to get up close and personal, book a manta ray boat tour to snorkel or scuba with manta rays. This may be one of the most memorable adventures you experience on Hawaii Island.
Humpback Whales (Kohola)
Thousands of humpback whales visit the warm waters of Hawaii every year between November and March. Migrating from seas as far as Alaska, these gentle giants partake in the longest seasonal migration of any mammal.
During the winter months you can spot whales along the Kohala Coast, off the shores of North Kohala, and in Hilo Bay to the east. Historic Puukohola Heiau near Kawaihae Harbor literally means "hill of the whale," and is still a popular whale watching spot today. Take a whale watching boat tour during the winter months for the best encounters. Seeing a massive humpback whale breach the sea is an incredible sight.
Spinner Dolphins (Naia)
Spinner dolphins are common throughout Hawaii and pods of these acrobatic marine mammals can be readily seen off the south Kona Coast on Hawaii Island. Spinner dolphins are aptly named for their affinity to spin as they leap out of the water. Seeing these playful animals ride in the wake of your boat is an unforgettable — and not uncommon — experience.
Green Turtles (Honu)
Although they are a threatened species, Hawaiian green sea turtles, or honu, are the most common sea turtle found in Hawaii. You can see large honu swimming along the southern Kona Coast or resting on the sands of Kahaluu Beach and Punaluu Black Sand Beach in Kau. Because these are a protected species, it is important not to touch the honu.
Hawaii's abundant waters are home to a variety of fish. In fact, roughly 20% of fish species in Hawaii are unique to the islands. From the bandit angelfish to Hawaii's state fish the humuhumunukunukuapuaa (which ironically isn't endemic), snorkelers and divers will be richly rewarded in their exploration of the Kona Coast, which is known for its calm and clear waters.

A recent spate of killings ranging from a gunmen entering a church and killing a pastor to yesterday's slaughter in a small Alabama town which resulted in 10 deaths will lead "experts" to connect the current economic crisis to the murders. It would be simplistic to claim a gunmen who wanders down the streets of an Alabama town killing people was influenced in such behavior by the collapse of the American economy. However, during the past eight years the nation has been under the rule of a Republican party and president who insist there are no rules which must be followed and if you believe there is evidence of possible "terrorism" then you have the right to invent legal procedures. We have been living in a state of lawlessness created by Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld and the so-called legal experts at the Justice Department who do not believe the president must adhere to the Constitution as known, but has the right to create Constitution as he believes exists.
The gunmen went drove down the street killing people as they sat on their porches. Perhaps, his actions constitute a metaphor for Bush America. If the TV program 24 allows individuals to take the law into their own hands, why not extend that right to individual citizens. Who knows what led this unfortunate man into this madness, but, it is more important for Americans to learn what led Bush into his disregard for the Constitution. Perhaps, even more devastating is why did so many Americans accept the right of the president to disregard law and order in the name of "security?"

South Dakota is a large state with few people, but CIO Otto Doll helped span the distance between scattered communities with a statewide radio system.
The system has more than 10,000 users, including law enforcement officers, firefighters, ambulance drivers, hospital emergency rooms, health clinics, transit bus drivers and state public safety officials.
"The state established one system where everyone can talk to anyone else," Doll said. "As one would find if you come here to South Dakota, being small, being spread out, very often we need the support, we need the resources of neighboring communities. So it was very important for us to establish something that was ubiquitous across the whole state."
South Dakota also has been quite successful at deploying technology in its K-12 school systems. "We're always able to implement capabilities, whether it's access to the Internet; high-speed access to the Internet; providing e-mail to all teachers, administrators and students; hosting their Web sites, etc.," Doll said.
South Dakota help every school in the state tap into advanced IT resources, Doll said. "We wired every school in the state, all 660 school buildings, back in the '90s. We interconnected all of them through the high-speed wiring network the state has. We have video conferencing to every high school, every junior high, a number of the elementary schools, state offices, etc.," he said. "We didn't implement it in just some school districts or some percentage -- it's 100 percent."
One principle that guides Doll's IT activities is the need to use taxpayer dollars efficiently.
"You can look at my organization's strategic plan, and you'll see the first two strategies are sort of two sides of the same coin," he said. "On one hand, of course, we want to reduce the cost of IT wherever possible, but on the other hand, we want to reduce agency cost through use of IT."
Congratulations to this year's group of "Doers, Dreamers and Drivers," who appear in the March issue of Government Technology magazine.

With all due respect…
There was a great comedy piece a few years back (whose origin escapes us) that gave examples of how the English would use their language when speaking to a non-native speaker to imply the precise opposite of what was actually being understood. This allowed the English to feel superior without actually damaging international relations. One example was the phrase "with all due respect" which is generally understood to imply that the speaker has a great deal of respect for their counterpart, while the speaker is actually implying that they have no respect in the slightest for their interlocutor. The respect due being precisely zero.
This thought occurred to us when a few of us opened our email this week to see a draft ad being sent around by the Cato Institute (i.e. Pat Michaels) looking for signatories prior to being published in "major US newspapers" sometime soon:
There are a number of amusing details here. While we are curious about the credentials of "Dr. N. Here", we certainly understand why they are looking for a little more variety on the list. More surprising (and somewhat ironically) the mailing list for signature requests includes a number of scientists who don't agree with these sentiments at all. It's as if Michaels and Cato actually believe that these various lists of "dissenting" scientists are accurate reflections of support for their agenda. They appear to be have been conned by their own disinformation.
As an exercise for our readers, perhaps people would like to speculate on who is going to end up on the published list? (If indeed it gets published). Ginger Spice would be likely on past form, but they might improve the screening this time around…
But most amusing are the footnotes that they use to bolster their case. There are four: the brand new Swanson and Tsonis (GRL, 2009), Brohan et al (JGR, 2006) (which is there to provide a link to the HadCRU temperature data), Pielke et al (BAMS, 2005), and the oft-derided Douglass et al (IJoC, 2008).
Of these papers, not one has the evidence to support the statements attributed to them in the main text. To wit:
Surface temperature changes over the past century have been episodic and modest and there has been no net global warming for over a decade now.1,2
Well, the first part of the statement is exactly what you expect with a modest long-term trend in the presence of internal variability and is not controversial in the least. The "global warming stopped" meme is particularly lame since it relies on both a feigned ignorance of the statistics of short periods and being careful about which data set you use. It also requires cherry-picking the start year, had the period been "exactly a decade" or 12 years then all the trends are positive.
The use of the recent Swanson and Tsonis paper is simply opportunism. Those authors specifically state that their results are not in any way contradictory with the idea of a long term global warming trend. Instead they are attempting to characterise the internal variability that everyone knows exists.
After controlling for population growth and property values, there has been no increase in damages from severe weather-related events.3

For Virtual Prospectors, Life in the Bitcoin Mines Gets Real
Temperatures, Electric Bills Rise as Enthusiasts Hunt for Web Currency
Aubrey McIntosh has taken up mining in his spare time, and he's finding it hard and hot—even if it's prospecting for a virtual currency and a computer is doing all of the work.
Mr. McIntosh, a semiretired chemistry professor in Morris, Minn., is among the growing ranks of enthusiasts who use powerful computers to "mine," in insider parlance, "bitcoins," an unregulated digital currency.
Mr. McIntosh keeps his specialized computer, which he said cost about $1,500 and is custom-built to find bitcoins, near the chimney flue in his basement to try to get rid of all the heat it generates.
"It sounds like an aircraft carrier," he said. Since turning the computer on his electricity bill has about doubled.
Bitcoins aren't physical objects that you can put in your pocket. Bitcoin is a virtual currency—launched in 2009 by a person or group going by the name "Satoshi Nakamoto"—that isn't backed by a government. Units of the currency exist only online but are sometimes traded for real goods and services. Users send the bitcoins to each other using digital addresses.
Few merchants take bitcoins as payment, but the number is growing. For example, WordPress.com, a blogging service, and dating website OkCupid both accept bitcoins. There are also currency exchanges that let users trade bitcoins for U.S. dollars and other countries' currencies.
Bitcoins are mined by a decentralized network of computers that guess solutions to a mathematical puzzle. As part of that process, miners keep track of and verify all transactions on the bitcoin network, so bitcoins are a kind of compensation for maintaining the ledger of transactions. The faster a person's computer system can find solutions relative to the rest of the network, the better chance he or she has of being awarded bitcoins.
That can require powerful computer equipment to keep up with competitors. Some people spend tens of thousands of dollars on custom-built "mining rigs" that they say can triple their homes' electricity bills and raise room temperatures by 20 degrees or more. For some miners, the payoff has been only virtual thus far. Many either hang on to the bitcoins or trade them for traditional currencies on online exchanges. On Thursday, one bitcoin fetched about $135 on Tokyo-based Mt. Gox, one of the largest bitcoin currency exchanges.
Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, the twins known for battling Mark Zuckerberg over ownership of Facebook Inc., recently proposed the creation of an exchange-traded fund to track bitcoin, though regulators haven't yet said if they will approve it.
While Mr. McIntosh, the chemistry professor, says he has made more money than he has spent on mining, he tries not to talk to his extended family about it. "I think the whole concept of bitcoin would alarm them," he said.
The system is designed so that only about 21 million bitcoins will ever be mined. So far, about 11.7 million bitcoins have been mined, leaving 9.3 million up for grabs.
That has led to an arms race. The first miners in 2009 used standard home computers. By 2011, they discovered that computer graphics cards, commonly used to render graphics in videogames, could perform the calculations faster. Now, startup hardware companies sell mining rigs designed with no other purpose than to find bitcoins.
For David Perry, a 30-year-old software developer in Las Vegas, things got so out of hand that he had to buy a second air-conditioning unit just to keep his 700-square-foot apartment habitable. During the summer of 2012, he said, his monthly electric bill hit $700, more than five times the normal amount. His mining rig included 14 computer graphics cards, which then were among the most effective kinds of equipment to find the currency.
Although he said he has "more than 10 times recouped" in bitcoins his $2,500 investment in hardware even after factoring in electricity costs, his wife is still skeptical of the operation. "It got so hot that we realized we were living in our own personal hell," said Mr. Perry, who now blogs about bitcoin-mining equipment.
Software developer Daniel Mross, who is 35 years old and lives in Pittsburgh, recently shut down his bitcoin rig after two years of mining. At its peak, his setup included four computers with a dozen computer graphics cards, among other equipment.
"It threw off a hell of a lot of heat, much to my wife's dismay," he said. But, he added, "It was nice in winter time."
Mr. Mross said his monthly electric bill once almost hit $700, up from the typical $250. Though he shut down his rig, Mr. Mross is making a documentary, called "The Rise and Rise of Bitcoin," in which he tells his mining story.
A major factor that did in Mr. Mross was the advent of pricey computer systems designed especially for bitcoin mining.
One startup, Butterfly Labs in Overland Park, Kan., sells mining rigs that cost as much as $22,484. Co-founder Jeff Ownby said his company consistently sells out each time it releases a batch of new mining rigs.
The bigger systems can be a strain on residential power capabilities. James Gibson, a former Web applications developer, started a mining operation out of his apartment in Orlando, Fla., in 2011 but quickly outgrew it.
"We couldn't have the TV on and keep all the miners on at the same time," he said. "The circuit would pop." Now, he rents space in four data centers in Kansas, in part to make sure his 27 mining rigs never lose power or Internet connectivity.
Mr. McIntosh has figured out a way to limit losses. Before receiving his new $1,500 bitcoin mining machine this summer, he sold investors 69 "shares" of the rig, worth 1% of its future findings.
The deal allowed him to make back his investment even before turning the machine on, he said. The shares sold for between 0.8 and 1.4 bitcoins each.
Michael B. Taylor, a computer science professor at the University of California, San Diego who has also written a paper on bitcoin, in March bought four of the shares for what he said was about the equivalent of $315 at the time. He said he receives bitcoin "dividends" every week. But the payout is dropping as other bitcoin miners throw evermore firepower into their operations. Given the arms race for mining equipment, the rig, said Mr. Taylor, is "guaranteed to be obsolete in a year."

Marouane Chamakh is back among the goals.
The Moroccan striker had not scored for more than three months when he slotted home Tomas Rosicky's pass in the FA Cup win over Leyton Orient on Wednesday - and he admits it was a huge relief.
Now Marouane wants to get back to the form he showed in the opening months of the campaign as Arsène Wenger turns to him in the absence of the injured Robin van Persie.
The striker spoke exclusively to Arsenal TV Online ahead of the Sunderland game. He discussed:
- the importance of his goal against Orient
- why he suffered a mid-season dip
- starting the campaign so well
- why he enjoys the pressure
- his relief at ending his goal drought
- the Sunderland game
- how close he was to joining them
- Manchester United's trip to Liverpool

Posted by David Johnson on June 6, 2012
Jason Hurd is the son of an Idaho backcountry bush pilot, stands about 6' 5" tall and runs an aircraft maintenance shop at the Erie Municipal Airport in Colorado - about a mile as the crow flies from my office. Airplanes are in his blood, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a more interesting character or competent mechanic anywhere. His shop is not the cheapest around, but pilots who value their lives know that Jason's is the place to go if they want a thorough inspection and the work done right the first time. When an aircraft breaks down, the pilot can't just pull over to the side of the road, hop out and fix it. In fact, aircraft maintenance is about as mission-critical as it gets. Oh, and it's heavily regulated and operates on razor-thin margins, too.
His mechanics are all first-rate - Jason sees to that with high standards and expectations for both hiring and conduct. The shop is spotless and his employees are both competent and courteous. He runs a tight ship. What I find most fascinating when I visit his shop though is the incredible amount of money that his employees have spent on their tools. The rolling tool boxes ($8,500 each…without the tools) are painted with blazing yellow paint, and festooned with chrome Snap-On logos. But the real money is inside; the value of the tools can easily reach $50,000 or more - all paid for by the mechanics themselves, and each mechanic earns maybe $45,000 per year in salary - much less when they're fresh out of aviation school. And…when they're new to the job and making the least money is when they have to start building their tool inventories.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Dog trainer
I have worked with Tino at Quality K-9. Recommended by Southwest German Shepherd Rescue here in Phoenix:
Dog Obedience Training Phoenix - Dog Training Phoenix
|I know of an excellent trainer in Gilbert, AZ that I highly recommend. I can't say enough good things about this guy, he has a very unique approach to training and I have seen many dogs do a complete 360 under his care. He's not cheap (not sure what he charges for boarding/training) but he gets results, so in the long run, he may be cheaper then dealing with less knowledgeable so called "trainers" that take your money and can't perform. Here's his web site: TOP DOG Boarding & Training - Gilbert - Arizona - Welcome His name is Shawn, awesome guy!! Good luck, hope you can get your boy under control and keep him.
Hi Patty! I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. While I haven't worked with any rescues, I can recommend an excellent behaviorist in the area if you are willing to go that route (behaviorists are much different than just a trainer). His name is Sam and his info can be found at Phoenix Dog Training | Scottsdale Dog Trainer / Gilbert Dog Behaviorist / Paradise Valley Dog School / Chandler Group Classes / Glendale Dog Obedience, Tempe Dog Questions, Ahwahtukee Dog Lessons, Cave Creek Dog Behavior, Surprise Dog Evaluation, Peo. We hired him for private puppy manners class and he was excellent and has worked with GSD's and aggressive dogs.
I believe there is a rescue in Flagstaff that you could probably find through a google search. I wish you the best!
GSD rescue in Phx Az
Hello I have a very strong alpha male 10 month old male GSD. I have tried training- group and private. Not working. The trainer said he is going to take along time to get his behavior under control. I know the biggest problem is his alpha male- my son left for boot camp and he is a little wild because I can't control him. He is in his crate most of the time because I work and when he is outside he is very destructive. I am looking for a place that can take him and help him get under control. I know I can't do it. He bares his teeth at me and barks and runs with things in his mouth that he can't have- usually something he has dragged off the kitchen counter. I am tired and at a loss. I live in Mesa az. Any suggestions????? Thanks
