Cross-domain identity management gives employees a bridge to other agencies
A police officer finds an elderly man unconscious. The officer uses the man's identification to locate his medical history and learns that the man has diabetes. The officer also scans a human services database and learns that the man is in social services custody because he can't care for himself. Finally, veterans records reveal the treatment the man has been receiving at his local Veterans Affairs Department hospital. Based on all that information, the officer can ensure that the man gets the proper medical care, that his social services caseworker is notified and that his treatment is coordinated with VA physicians.
In a perfect world, government workers would have access to all the resources and data they need to do their jobs. It wouldn't matter whether other agencies held the data or applications ran on different networks. The information technology systems would take care of those details and allow workers to access appropriate resources.
The idea behind cross-domain identity management is to give people in different domains, such as different agencies, appropriate access to data and applications based on their identity.
In nondigital environments, that sort of exchange happens all the time. For example, each state issues driver's licenses, but every state recognizes other states' licenses.
When it comes to computer networks, cross-domain identity management is extremely complicated, for several reasons. First, an employee might be authenticated at agency A but not at the level of authentication required by agency B.
"Trust is not transitive," said John Chirapurath, director of marketing at Microsoft's Identity and Security Division. "If A trusts B, and B trusts C, A may or may not trust C."
Second, even if a person's authentication level is sufficient, that information must be transmitted to agency B, so the employee still might not be able to automatically access the information he or she needs.
Finally, any changes in an employee's status — for example, taking on a new position or leaving the government — must somehow ripple through all the agencies immediately.
Although cross-domain identity management is difficult to implement, it has many advantages, especially for government agencies. If a single credentialing process is sufficient to satisfy many agencies, the entire government saves money by not performing credentialing for every agency.
"The resource owner need not manage access to that resource," said Jackson Shaw, senior director of product management at Quest Software, a vendor of identity management applications.
Furthermore, employees can access information and resources more simply and quickly. For example, the Army has 14 domains, and lowering the barriers among them would have tremendous value.
Finally, people receive better services when government employees can do their jobs efficiently.
Political hurdles
Cross-domain identity management faces legal and political challenges in addition to technological ones. Suppose someone misuses access to order 10,000 unneeded widgets. Who is legally liable for that mistake: the user's agency, the agency with the order application or the agency that allowed the access?
Political and legal issues also include concerns about privacy and security. "Each organization's security needs are different, but a common thread across global governments is a strong need to enable more sharing of information without compromising security," said Frank Mayer, president, chief technology officer and co-founder of Tresys Technology.
The banking industry has done a lot to enable cross-domain identity management on an everyday level. For example, customers of one bank can perform certain transactions at another. The federal government is another pioneer in this area, and several federal projects are exploring solutions to cross-domain identity management.
Cross purposes
Because cross-domain identity management is complicated, you probably need a compelling reason to implement it. Before rushing to set it up, examine how cross-domain identity management will help your agency function more productively or efficiently.
Also, try to identify other agencies that might already have some components in place and partner with them. Although all agencies must implement HSPD-12, they're at different stages of the process.
And bear in mind that any durable cross-domain identity management system should be vendor-neutral. "As long as you can transfer the information in a format everyone can understand, the back end doesn't matter," said Sachin Nayyar, chief identity strategist at Sun Microsystems.
Several organizations — such as the Liberty Alliance, an industry group dedicated to developing open standards and best practices for identity management, and the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) — are working to establish standards to make such data transfers easier.
Using physical tokens, such as smart cards, can simplify authentication, but you still need to anchor those cards to identity information on the back end and enable authorization across domains.
Cross training
Even if you implement cross-domain identity management, your challenges aren't over. Your applications also must support federated identities. You should investigate whether your vendors provide versions of their software that will accept those identities. Otherwise, you'll need a proxy that handles the identity management, such as Microsoft's Intelligent Application Gateway.
You also might need to use a trusted operating system to support cross-domain solutions, such as Sun's Trusted Solaris or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 from IBM and Red Hat. If your agency's applications handle classified data, a trusted operating system can provide the foundation necessary for secure processing.
It's important and often simpler to take advantage of existing technology. For example, Quest Software's Vintela Single Sign-on for Java performs authentication using Microsoft's Active Directory, which many agencies and other organizations already use. "Users log on to Active Directory every day," Shaw said.
Defining the criteria for different levels of access is crucial. "Working out the business procedures is 90 percent of the problem," said Roger Sullivan, president of the Liberty Alliance Management Board. You need to define what you're trying to do, what you want to allow and how you make those decisions.
Agencies should take advantage of the information available from standards groups such as the Liberty Alliance and OASIS. Their member lists can point you to potential vendors and other agencies, and their online resources can help you educate your employees and plan projects.

There are nuances that makes this not only possible but desirable. The reason that his medical records would disclose that he is diabetic is that he would have marked that piece of information as available to emergency personnel. He wouldn't need to give all-or-nothing access to his records. If a doctor accessed his medical records, he'd also see that he has brain cancer and syphilis, but the EMT or police officer only sees that he is diabetic. He could choose to hide that too, but that would be pretty dumb.
The problem with new solutions is often that we have to unlearn our previous knowledge because it will keep us from getting new benefits. The un-american and democracy losing statements are naive at best.
Unbelievable - utterly unbelievable. How can the author (Edmund DeJesus) have the temerity to even THINK this let alone print it? Are you aware 6that the fracas surrounding A-Rod arose only after CONFIDENTIAL information given to his doctor was then taken by the GOVERNMENT and leaked? As I said, utterly unbelievable: and you, Mr. DeJesus, should be ASHAMED of yourself. Unless, of course, you're not an American or simply don't understand the Constituion - which seems more likely, to be frank...
Brought to you by BIG BROTHER! First of all a police officer does not have a need to know or have access to anyone's medical records in order to call a medical professional (ambulance/emt) to help in this situation. My health issues nor anyone elses is the business of my Federal Government. We do not have nationalized medicine and if we ever go that way we certainly will lose our Democracy long before. Which by the way is the path which we are on. The Federal Government needs to get back to doing with our Constitution allows it to do and nothing else!

Morrison Multi-link IRS
The folks at Art Morrison Enterprises recently came by to show us their groundbreaking Multi-Link IRS. An early production unit was installed on the 1969 Camaro of AME product engineer, Matt Jones, so we got it up on the rack and did a walk-around with its designer. We also captured some video, which you'll want to check out on the PopularHotRodding.com video page, but in the meantime, here's some details.
The AME Multi-Link IRS is the first street machine–style IRS to use a multi-link setup with a toe link. Based around the compact yet strong fifth-gen Camaro rear spindle, the multi-link is designed to correct flaws of previous IRS designs while enhancing some of the IRS's benefits. Chief among those is the incorporation of dynamic steering and antisquat into the geometry. Moreover, a lower unsprung weight, a nearly indestructible Strange S60 rearend, and availability in four common track widths (55.5, 57.5, 59.5, and 61.5 inches) make it a slam dunk for a take-no-prisoners Pro Touring ride.
Fully contained within a perimeter cradle, the AME Multi-Link IRS bolts to prepared rear chassis sections (see AME for details) via isolation bushings, thus creating a ride that is as smooth and unobtrusive as the grip is tenacious. The AME Multi-Link can also be ordered with most any Morrison chassis, including the G-Sport and MaxG muscle car chassis lines. Check it out at www.ArtMorrison.com or call 866-321-4499. —Johnny Hunkins
Chevy SS Coming, But Technically It's Already Here
We're excited for the new Chevy SS to hit the streets because after all, why wouldn't we be? A rear-wheel-drive sedan with a V-8 engine is the stuff that Chevy has been lacking since 1996. The funny thing is that you've already been watching the SS roll around your city or town in black and white livery. Heck, some of you have probably ridden in the back seat of one already! That's right, the Chevy SS is essentially the same as the current Chevy Caprice PPV (police pursuit vehicle).
While the Caprice is a stripped-down, tough-as-nails cop car, the SS is going to be a pretty luxurious piece with a six-speed automatic transmission and a far more refined interior. Also, the Caprice is not available for sale to the public (although several have famously slipped through the red tape and ended up in civilian paws), and we're not even sure that they'll be available on the secondhand auction market. The SS will be positioned against cars like the Chrysler 300, Taurus SHO, and European sedans as they're the only direct competition. It is really cool in our eyes that this car is coming; the Pontiac G8 was really catching fire before the brand was killed. This is the kind of automotive comeback story that we really, really, like. —Bangshift.com
Nitto Racing Rivals Goes Live, Kills Productivity
As if we needed another excuse around here to goof off, Nitto Tires has introduced their new Racing Rivals drag racing game, and we've not dropped our phone since. The game is super fun, allows for all kinds of customization, and provides the ability to "rise up the ranks" as a Nitto-sponsored racer. You can race against computer-generated rivals or against live opponents playing from around the world. The level of detail in the game is boss, and you can actually add specific lines of Nitto tires to your car. The game is free to play in case you needed yet another reason to believe in how awesome this is.
There are dozens of cars that racers can choose from that are both domestic and foreign in manufacturer. If you want to race a late-model Challenger you can. Want a Subaru? Go for it. Challenger? Yeah, they have that covered. On top of those there's a huge pile more. Nitto wants the game to help them interact with potential customers in specific ways and we think that this will work. The only negative thing that can come of this is the fact that you'll become really obsessed with becoming better and faster. It is a super fun game. —Brian Lohnes

UConn coach Geno Auriemma pans Mavs owner's talk of drafting Baylor star Brittney Griner
Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma doesn't think much of Mark Cuban's notion of drafting Brittney Griner into the NBA.
Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, said Tuesday night that he would consider drafting Griner, the 6-foot-8 senior standout for Baylor whose career ended over the weekend when the Lady Bears lost in the NCAA tournament.
Cuban told reporters that if Griner is the best player available, "I will take her."
"Right now, I'd lean toward yes, just to see if she can do it," he said. "You never know unless you give somebody a chance."
Griner responded with a tweet: "I would hold my own! Lets do it"
Auriemma said Wednesday that Cuban is a financial genius, but "his genius would take a huge hit if he drafted Brittney Griner."
"I think it would be a sham," he said. "The fact that a woman could actually play right now in the NBA and compete successfully against the level of play that they have is absolutely ludicrous."

It's been five years since JonBenét Ramsey's Christmas 1996 murder in Boulder rocked the known world, but even time hasn't quelled much of the weirdness associated with this case, nor has it mellowed some of the strange and peripheral characters who got involved in the crime's aftermath.
One of the strangest of the bunch was Jeff Shapiro, the exuberant (to use a nice word) reporter (again, using a nice word) for the Globe, who was arrested for harassing friends of John and Patsy Ramsey while he was covering the case and then fired by the tabloid in 1999. His story continues...
You might remember Shapiro from his arrest, or possibly from his testimony against his editors at the Globe, whom he accused of trying to coerce Boulder detective Steve Thomas into talking; he later delivered hours and hours of taped phone conversations with those editors to the FBI and the national media. Or you might remember him from his appearances on major-network news shows, in magazines and, finally, in Perfect Murder, Perfect Town, Larry Schiller's book about the JonBenet case. Shapiro seemed to be everywhere and to have an in with everyone...right up until he was out. So out, in fact, that he worked odd jobs and even wrote a September 1999 op-ed piece for the Denver Post admonishing his "former tabloid colleagues."
And then, a year or so later, Shapiro slipped out of Boulder, telling anyone who asked that he was tired of the spotlight. It appeared that his fifteen minutes of fame had expired.
In August 2000, Shapiro reappeared...we think. Someone using the byline Jeffrey Scott Shapiro (our Jeff's middle name Scott, too) popped up as a reporter for the Journal News, a daily paper in Westchester County, New York. Robert Masterson, a reporter for the Westchester County Weekly, recognized the name and decided to investigate. But as Masterson wrote then, "The Jeffrey Scott Shapiro who writes for the Journal News would not speak on the record and would neither confirm nor deny that he is the same Jeffrey Scott Shapiro who worked the Ramsey murder for the Globe." Neither Gannett, which owns the Journal News, nor Shapiro's editor would talk, either.
Fast-forward to the weeks following September 11. Shapiro, who'd mostly been covering crime and traffic in the communities within Westchester County, began tracking down one of the many "street rumors" that some Arab-Americans may have known about the attacks before they happened. On October 11, the Journal News published the results of his work in a blockbuster story, which appeared to confirm one of the rumors. "In Brooklyn, a high school freshman who recently immigrated from Pakistan was investigated by federal agents after his teacher confirmed that he had predicted the Trade Center's collapse a week before the towers were attacked," Shapiro wrote.
Although nothing ever came of a police investigation into the student's comments, Shapiro managed to wrangle his way onto the Today Show for an interview with Matt Lauer the day after his piece was printed. The story was picked up by a number of other news outlets, too, and even became the basis for one of high-profile Newsweek writer Jonathan Alter's columns, in which he called Shapiro "an aggressive young reporter." Indeed.
Neither Lauer or Alter mentioned that this aggressive young reporter was already an out-of-work aggressive young reporter -- again -- by the time they talked with him. At some point on the morning of October 11, Shapiro was fired by the Journal News management, according to an article Masterson wrote for the November 29 edition of the Fairfield County Weekly (which by then had merged with the Westchester County Weekly). For what reason, no one would tell Masterson on the record, although off-the-record sources agreed that "in a closed-door meeting at the Journal News, Shapiro was immediately fired and escorted from the building."
Where will Shapiro appear next? We'll just have to wait for the tapes.

All in the family: Local fans of Oprah Winfrey were surprised to find Denver businesswoman Gayle Greer showing up alongside the talk-show hostess last week. Greer, a former Time Warner Cable executive who went on to launch an Internet startup, appeared as part of a program celebrating "courageous women who changed course" by deciding to make big changes in their lives. Oprah hailed Greer as a hot-shot, big-money executive who turned her back on the corporate world, choosing instead to spend time with family and friends. "It's very important to stay true to yourself," Greer told Oprah. "If you don't take the time to feel the unhappiness, you won't find the time to search for it."
Investors in Greer's last venture, however, have probably had plenty of time to get in touch with their unhappiness. On the same day that Greer was opening her heart to Oprah, the assets of her former company -- including the office chairs -- were being auctioned off as part of a bankruptcy proceeding. The company, GS2.net, was an Internet services provider that went under in September, leaving behind dozens of creditors. Well known in the business world, Greer had used her connections to line up an all-star cast of principals -- like former Denver Bronco kicker Rich Karlis, who served as vice president of sales. And her investors included Denver oilman and longtime Denver Art Museum trustee Frederic C. Hamilton, as well as local businesspeople John and Ann Gallagher.
Not surprisingly, Greer's appearance on Oprah's show set tongues wagging among area dot-commies. While many former employees of Denver Internet startups are working construction or serving beer, none of them have been congratulated on national television for their "courage" in suddenly finding more time to spend with their families.
Perhaps Greer should follow the advice of Oprah's own television shrink, Dr. Phil, who often berates self-indulgent guests on the show, advising them to "get real."

February 16, 1969 - October 27, 2013
Monticello, NY
Faye Collette Brown - Fowler was sent from heaven to bless the lives of her parents Virginia and Wayne Brown on February 16th 1969, and laid into eternal rest on October 27th, 2013 surrounded by family and friends.
Faye had always expressed a strong love for fashion. She enjoyed looking fabulous from her stylish hair and nails to her clothes, jewelry and shoes. Faye was also a very family oriented person; she never hesitated to take on the caregiver role for her nieces, nephews and friends. She was known to many as "Aunt Faye" whether blood relation or not. Faye was the type of person to give the shirt off her back or open her home to anyone when needed.
Faye attended Fallsburg Central High and Middletown Beauty School. During her later years in life she had a goal to reach others in her community through her testimony. Faye became an inspiration to others through her motivational speaking sessions at the Monticello Recovery Center. For leisure, Faye had begun to travel to visit her loved ones. She often spent plenty of time with her grandchildren in New Jersey.
There will be a viewing at 11 a.m. on Friday, November 1st followed by the Home Going service at 1 p.m. at the Kings Chapel Mission Church, 15 Spring Street in Monticello. Burial will follow at Rock Ridge Cemetery in Monticello.
Arrangements are under the direction of the VanInwegen-Kenny, Inc. Funeral Home of Monticello; for additional information or to send an online condolence, please visit www.kennyfuneralhome.com

Surprise list
From Erights
(→For-loop pattern failure is not an error)
|Line 58:
|Line 58:
Revision as of 07:45, 20 April 2011
Potentially surprising parts of the E language.
Current as of E 0.8.33o.
Very true! Makes a chagne to see someone spell it out like that. :)
def x doesn't return x
The forward declaration expression,
def var, does not return var but rather the Resolver for it.
# E sample ? def x # value: <Resolver> ? x # value: <Promise>
If you want to pass a resolver as an argument, using it as an "out parameter", this syntax is helpful:
x.hereIsAResolver(def y) ... use y
If you want the actual promise, simply write
(def x; x).
Unresolved references do not necessarily behave as their future resolved identity
— messages sent before the reference is resolved may be reacted to however the current holder of the reference "arrow-head" chooses, which does not necessarily correspond to the reference to which the unresolved reference resolves.
This has been discussed in an e-lang thread.
This cannot be fixed without removing pipelining, eliminating one of the major benefits of the E reference model.
For now, see this lengthy example by MarkM.
To avoid being vulnerable to this type of misbehavior, do not use a sameness test (
==) or Map key lookup in order to decide on the reliability of the response to a previously sent message. This might involve using a when-catch/whenResolved construct to wait until the reference is resolved.
Accumulator operator is lowest-precedence
As you can see in the following expansion, the operator following the "_" is always lowest-precedence (as it is the one effectively rewritten into an assignment form):
? e`pragma.enable("accumulator"); accum 0 while (a) { _ * b + c }` # value: e`null ... # accum__1 := accum__1.multiply(b.add(c)) ...
NVXbEU Touchdown! That's a really cool way of ptuitng it!
Avoid accumulator syntax when the accumulation cannot be expressed as a single call.
Shadowing function arguments
Rebinding a name within a block is an error, e.g.
def foo() { def x := 2 def x := 3 }
("Failed: x already in scope")
However, rebinding an argument does not issue any warning:
def foo(x) { ... def x := 2 ... println(x) }
The already-in-scope error is intended to catch accidentally using the same name twice, not prohibit rebinding. Generally, you can expect it to be supressed anywhere there is visible
{...} syntax.
Single-letter uriGetters are a special case
It is not possible to refer to a single-letter uriGetter in a URI literal.
? def <t> := ["foo" => "bar"] # value: ["foo" => "bar"] ? interp.setExpand(true) ? <t:foo> # expansion: file__uriGetter.get("t:foo")
# value: <file:/Users/kpreid/t:foo>
This is a feature intended for convenient support for Windows drive letter filenames. XXX Look at whether MarkM agreed to remove it.
Use names longer than one letter.

This fabric is 100% silk and is hand woven in India on hand looms by local artisans. The irregular slubs and nubs in the fabric are characteristic of this style and can only be achieved by using the same weaving procedures that have been passed down from generation to generation for over 250 years.
The variations in the size and length of the slubs and nubs are part of the beauty of this style , as are the variations in texture and therefore are not considered flaws or defects.
Please note, the variation may occur between dye lots.
Knit fabric backing is recommended if you are using this fabric for upholstery. if you are using this fabric for custom draperies, we recommend that you use lining and interlining to enhance the beauty of your drapery and to protect the fabric from the sun.

I would like to know why there is such a negative view of the word "welfare" anyway. The preamble to the constitution explicitly states
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America"
I guess in the US, the phrase has come to represent only governmental funds spent on poor and working class people. You never hear people complaining about welfare for the rich (excessive tax cuts to promote "job creation", interest free loans to "stimulate the financial markets", Oil and farm subsidies, etc).
The term Welfare has become a propaganda weapon to use against the poor in class warfare. It provides a neat little stereotypical label which can be used to pit working class Americans against the poor, while the wealthy lobby to create laws which funnel more money and power to themselves.
In reality, welfare, social security, unemployment, etc. are all forms of government-run insurance. We all pay in and we all have the opportunity to receive payments out. If Bill Gates were to suddenly lose everything he owns, he would get welfare, medicaid, social security, unemployment, etc. The only difference from private insurance is that these insurance premiums are based on the amount of money people earn. Pay what you can, receive what you need.

The 100 Mile Design Challenge
The student exhibits at this year's ICFF clearly had a sustainable focus: students from the Rhode Island School of Design designed products from recyclable composites, while students from the University of Oregon explored the environmental impact of flat-packed furniture. But the most interesting and idealistic exhibit came from the collaboration between the Maryland Institute College of Art and the University of Washington...
The 100 Mile Design Challenge aimed to show that thoughtful, attractive design was possible using local materials found near Baltimore and Seattle. Nothing was off-limits, and materials used in the final prototypes included bamboo, clay, red oak, oyster shells, hemp, beeswax, charcoal and pine resin.

If you wanna see some of the garbage they are pulling two hours after the law passed go to this website.
Those lazy telemarketers never give up, do they.
LOL damn that's almost funny enough to put under the Tech Humor section! Anything to make a buck in Corp America though, that's just the way it is these days! But I would not surprised that a ton of businesses already have hit that site and forked over the cash to beocme "compliant"! In the end though it just makes you laugh, well at least me...
Good post...
[shadow]There is no right and wrong, only fun and boring...
Formatting my server because someone hacked into it sounds pretty boring to me...
That\'s why it\'s all about AntiOnline.com![/shadow]
OMG, did you see the cheese log that is the president of that outfit??

Can't these people take a hint. I'm shocked that there is actually a company who publically advertises the fact they are side-stepping the "do not call list". These people are scum.
I don't think they are side stepping it, I think they are there to help telemarketers stay up to date with the DoNotCall list by a connection means. This way the said business can stay in compliance while this new company can rack in the bucks by offering the service. That is unless I'm not reading something right (then again I was just skimming the site anyway)
Just a thought...
Alright I see now AcidDrive.....I just had to read it more closely. Still though, get a real job........
I thought it was interesting that they charge 55 cents a minute for domestic calls. Thats more then my cell when I exceed my "free" minutes. I understand business pay more utility type services then consumers but I'd be surprised if they pay more then $.10 per minute.
If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, you will be hacked. What\'s more, you deserve to be hacked.

It is called list scrubbing where a company will have a huge list of possible contacts that they have acquired through a variety of means including purchasing from another company and they need to make sure that they are all clear to call all of those people without having compliance issues with local, state or now national laws which allow those people to opt out of solicitations. It has become so difficult because so many laws are being created against telemarketers that they are having to get third parties to help them scrub aka remove all people who have opted out of solicitation to prevent violations which can lead to costly penalties and even class action lawsuits.
That is most likely not a cheese d**k operation but a company that has spent time reviewing all the laws involved and act as consultants to the telemarketing companies to make sure that they are compliant with all of the new laws.

For example, a 70-day rental may be booked on a reservation of 62 days and one of 8 days or may be booked on a reservation of 40 days and 30 days. Additional reservations/voucher is required for each rental period, which must be presented at the counter for renewal of the rental record prior to the 63rd day (or whatever day rental has been split to).

Do you have questions about wood storks? Read the wood stork FAQ for answers.
Are wood storks really storks?Yes, although the wood stork we are familiar with here in Florida looks nothing like the European white stork most people think about when they hear the name stork, the wood stork is a true stork. It is one of only 17 species of storks in the family Ciconiidae that are generally distributed throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the world. Storks, herons, ibises, and New World vultures are placed in the avian order Ciconiiformes. Recent DNA analysis suggests storks and New World vultures are more closely related to one another than storks are related to ibises and herons.
Do wood storks deliver babies?There is no evidence that wood storks deliver babies.
Where do wood storks occur?The species is a common nesting bird from coastal Mexico and northern Argentina throughout interior South America, the Caribbean islands of Cuba and Hispaniola, north to the southeastern United States, including Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Florida has the largest nesting population in the U.S. Non-breeding and migratory storks occur in southern California, southern Texas and Louisiana, along the Atlantic coast as far north as Delaware Bay, and along the Mississippi drainage as far north as Missouri.
What do wood storks feed on?Wood storks feed on a variety of prey items including fish, frogs, crayfish, large insects, and occasionally small alligators and mice. However, fish make up the bulk of their diet, especially fish ranging in size from 1-6 inches. This means that storks feed on larger fish that require more than one season or year of growth. The implication is that these prey require wetlands that are flooded for greater than one year and infrequently dry up completely.
I have seen some people feeding hotdogs and chicken wings to wood storks and other wild animals. Should I feed wood storks?No. It is never a good idea to feed wildlife. The result is an animal that becomes acclimated to humans, which often results in an adverse wildlife-human interaction and dependence upon the supplemental feeding to survive. Storks that are fed by people may become panhandlers and be a problem later when the feeding stops, which requires intervention by wildlife personnel. Finally, artificial food items such as hotdogs and chicken wings are woefully deficient in vitamins and minerals that are required for proper nutrition.
I often see wood storks with chalky white-colored legs. What causes this color?Normally the legs of wood storks are black, however, an observant person may occasionally notice the lower half of their legs are covered with a white-colored material during the warmer parts of the year. This is especially noticeable when storks are incubating eggs or young nestlings and they can not move away from their nests and into the shade. Storks will defecate on their legs, especially when they have to stand in the sun while tending their nest. This behavior is thought to be a cooling mechanism that uses the highly vascularized legs and cooling effect of the evaporating moisture. The guano (the scientific word for bird feces, which is more of a chalky, watery consistency) is washed off their legs when they forage in water and appears to have no pathological effect on the skin. A similar cooling effect is attained when a person wipes their body with a moist towel.
Where can I go to see wood storks breeding?Most wood stork colonies are located either on private lands or far back in swamps that do not permit ready access to see these nesting birds. Less common coastal colonies are more accessible to boat traffic. However, we recommend that you use binoculars when observing these nesting birds and maintain a minimum of 100 yards from the colony. The best place to see nesting storks in Florida is at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary maintained by the National Audubon Society near Naples.
Why should I maintain the recommended 100-yard buffer when observing wood storks?Most birds require a minimum distance between a potential predator or approaching human before they abandon their nests. Causing storks to flush from their nests will expose the eggs or young nestlings to over-heating due to the effects of the sun or the stress due to cooling during cooler temperatures or inclement weather. The defenseless and exposed eggs and young birds also are exposed to aerial predators such as crows, which often are alerted to the disturbance caused by humans and quickly swoop in and pillage the nest contents. Finally, disturbed older nestlings may try to escape and fall from the nest or tree. Adults will not feed these young and they face an almost certain death.
How far away from a colony will wood storks fly in order to find food for their young?Based on several studies, both in Georgia and Florida, using wood storks with attached radio-transmitters that send signals to allow the location of the individual birds, it appears that storks regularly fly distances of 5-12 miles from the nesting colony during regular foraging bouts. However, one stork flew about 75 miles away and returned the following day to relieve its mate and feed its nestlings! The distance a stork flies to locate food is dependent upon water levels, the availability of prey, and quality of wetlands. During droughts, storks must fly greater distances in order to find food. Thus, the wetlands around the colony site are important in maintaining the feeding habitat and integrity of a successful nesting effort.
If I know of or see a colony of wood storks, should I notify anyone?Most of the wood stork colonies in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina are known to wildlife agencies as a result of intensive aerial and ground surveys by their personnel. However, we frequently are alerted to the location of unknown or new nesting colonies of storks by the public. Please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Why do wood storks have the word "wood" in their name?Wood storks have a variety of common names, hence the frequent use of the scientific or Latin name Mycteria americana to avoid confusion. "Wood" probably refers to their nesting sites being located in the woods or swamps. Other common names include wood ibis (due to the similarity of the down-curved bill of ibises) and flinthead (due to the lack of feathers on the head and instead possessing large, scale-like patches typical of adults). Use of the word "Mycteria" in the scientific name is Greek for nostril, or to sneer, which is derived from the large down-curved bill of the species.
At what age do wood storks begin to breed?Based on banded and known-age birds, wood storks do not enter their first breeding season until they attain a minimum of three years of age. However, most storks do not begin breeding until they are four years of age. Thereafter, they probably nest once a year.
About how long do wood storks live?We do not know much about the longevity of wood storks. We believe they generally live to be 11-18 years old in the wild. The oldest wood stork in captivity lived to be 27 years and 6 days old.
What are some of the factors that result in the death of wood storks?Let's examine sources of stork mortality at two levels: First, breeding-related mortality of the eggs and nestlings is a common phenomenon. Of the average clutch size of 3 eggs per nest, only about 1.3 nestlings survive to become independent and fly from the nest. Thereafter, survival rates of these fledglings once they leave the nest is unknown. Known factors causing egg or nestling loss are predators, nest collapse during storms, and insufficient food supplies which results in starvation when parents can not capture sufficient prey. Second, mortality of adult storks also is due to a variety of causes. Factors that have been identified to cause the death of adults include predators (such as alligators and bobcats), pesticide poisoning, collisions with power lines, and being struck by automobiles while taking off across the road. Disease also probably plays an unknown role in the death of both young and old storks.
How can you tell the difference between a male and female wood stork?There are no obvious differences in the plumage that will allow you to distinguish between male and female wood storks. However, males are slightly larger than females (males average 7.1 pounds, females average 6.1 pounds) and have a heavier, longer bill (males average 9 inches to a female average of 7.5 inches).
How many eggs do wood storks lay?The clutch size (number of eggs laid) of wood storks range from 1-5 eggs, with 3 eggs being the most common number of eggs in a nest. The eggs are a flat-white in color and similar in size to an extra large chicken egg. If the first clutch is lost early in the nesting season, a female may lay a second clutch if she has enough body reserves. Usually the second clutch size contains fewer eggs.
How old are wood storks when they leave their nest or colony?Wood stork nestlings are fully feathered and capable of short flights at about 7-8 weeks of age but are not independent of their parents until they are 9-10 weeks old. The fledglings then leave the colony at 10-12 weeks of age. Thereafter, they do not interact with their parents. Immature storks spend the next 3-4 years wandering until they reach reproductive maturity. Only rarely will these young adult storks be seen in colonies and then mostly in small numbers; however on occasion they will group together in a gang and disrupt the nesting activities of the adults.
Do both parents take care of the nestlings?Yes, both males and females share incubation (sitting on eggs) and brooding (taking care of the nestlings) duties.
I have occasionally seen wood storks soaring at great altitudes while flying my private plane. Why are they flying so high?Whereas storks are slow to take off in flight, requiring deep laborious wing beats to gain altitude due to their size and weight, they are graceful fliers once in flight and excellent high altitude fliers. Storks frequently seek out thermals (the upward convection of warm, rising air) during the summer months, which allows storks to attain great heights with little wing flapping. The use of thermals greatly conserves energy compared to flight with wing-flapping. Once they reach the desired height, the storks will glide with little wing-flapping for great distances toward their foraging sites. Occasionally, storks will use a series of thermals (thermal hopping) to get to their ultimate destination, similar to humans flying gliders.
What type of trees do wood storks use for nesting?Storks nest in a variety of both native and exotic species of trees and generally can be described as requiring woody vegetation in water or surrounded by water in the case of an island. Native species include cypress, gum, willow, oaks, wax myrtle, both red and black mangrove, and red maple. Non-native or introduced species include Brazilian pepperbush and Australian pine, especially in south Florida. Suitable nesting substrate, also known as a base, must be strong enough to support the rather large nest, one or both members of the pair, and nestlings. This usually requires the tree to be both tall and possess large limbs where the nests are located. Storks usually build their nests in trees flooded by 1 to 3 feet of water or surrounded by water in the case of islands. At interior freshwater sites, these flooded trees provide a water barrier to ground predators such as raccoons and snakes. This water moat around the nest trees also allows the 24-hour patrol by alligators that further reduces the chance of a raccoon swimming to a nest tree.
What type of nest do wood storks build?Storks build a rather bulky nest of twigs that are simply laid in the forks of trees or on a branch of a tree. Nest height above the water varies from 3- to 50- feet. Nests generally are 20- to 25-inches in diameter and 6- to 10-inches high. The foundation material usually is made up of larger dead sticks (up to 2- inches thick) while the upper surface of the nest contains smaller (1/16- to 1/8-inch thick), more pliable twigs. While most of the nest is rather porous, the interior surface or cup region is lined with live vegetation made up of leaves and pliable branchlets. This nest greenery lines the cup region to prevent the eggs from slipping down into the spaces between the large twigs and further insulates the eggs in the rather porous nest. Finally, the habit of storks to defecate over the edge of the nest deposits a layer of guano around the edge of the nest, which dries to form an almost adobe material. It also provides some strengthening and rigidity to the lattice, or framework of twigs.
What sounds or calls do wood storks make?Nestlings make a variety of calls mostly associated with being uncomfortable (when a brooding parent raises off the nestlings, for example) or when begging for food from their parents. From hatching until about 2-weeks of age, nestlings utter a long series of repetitive raspy "heh-heh" calls. Once they attain the age of 2-weeks, nestlings utter a repetitive series of nasal "haw-haw" calls. This call is audible from several hundred feet away and is useful in locating a large stork colony from the ground. However, adult storks don't really utter a call. Rather, they make either hissing sounds or loud popping sounds by snapping their bills during aggressive interactions or courtship activities.
