China Broiler Weekly: Slaughterhouses limit production, broiler prices stay weak (week ended May 3, 2012)
An eFeedLink Exclusive
Price summary
Prices stayed weak.
Market analysis
AA broiler
Slaughterhouses continued to limit broiler procurements. Hence, prices of broiler stayed soft over the week even as supplies were low. Broiler farmers were therefore cautious in expanding inventories, resulting in lower prices of day-old chicks.
China breed broiler
Even in south and east China, where markets were on the rise previously, prices of China breed broilers stayed flat amid waning demand. In the northern regions, prices continued to slide.
Adverse weather in the south dampened the confidence of farmers, hence decimating the demand for day-old chicks.
Market forecast
Broiler and chick markets are expected to be weak after the holidays amid reduced post-festive demand.
RMB1=US$0.1588 (May 4)

18 reviews | 3.6 out of 5
I initially purchased this stroller because I was looking for something smaller than the usual tandems, and was not interested in a side by side stroller either. (We have it in Pink, FYI) I've used this stroller twice, and the second time, we got til about the parking lot and my two year old was extremely uncomfortable because she didn't have any leg room, and she was saying "my leg hurt". I ended up taking my two year old out and walking back home. It has been sitting in their room ever since. Also, the front seat has a footrest, but it is too far back for any child to reach, it's kind of an awkward place to put a footrest, since they usually stretch their legs forward. The size and weight are ideal, and it was a smooth ride. But cosmetically, I don't think it works. I have a one year old and a two year old, and they are fairly tall for their age, and was looking for something that would last at least for a year. I will be returning this as soon as possible, and looking into other options, since this stroller didn't work for us.
I needed a lightweight stroller that was easy to move around and this one fit the bill. I have a twenty month old and a 9 month old and felt confined at home because it was too much hassle to get out with them unless the stores had buggies to put them in. We had another double stroller but that thing was so big and awkward, there was no way to even be able to open a door and push them through it at the same time plus it took up way too much room even folded up. The Dream on Me stroller folds up like an umbrella stroller. Its not perfect, the front seat works best for my 9 month old since the seat bottom is a little short. The basket is about useless except for catching my 20 month old's shoes when she takes them off. I do wish for a cupholder and it feels slightly wobbly at times but it is so much more convenient for everyday use to stores or doctor's offices. It folds up like an umbrella stroller, of course its a little bigger than one but its still very compact. The directions to put it together kind of stink but it can be figured out. I am super happy with it for the price and convenience. I can see where this wouldn't be an all day stroller like to an amusement park or something but for every day ease, it works perfectly.
my son is 15mouths and he loves seating in the front seat I also have a 4 year old and this stroller is great for walks to park. The only negative is there no cup holders or place to put baby bags. So if your looking for a stroller for everyday use this won't be good the storage basket will only fit a few diapers and snacks and a extra outfit.
If you want small then this is perfect. It's compact and great for quick trips. I think this will be perfect for navigating Disneyland and malls. Cons are that it is a tight fit for the kid in the backseat, no cupholders for kids or parents, the front seat is shallow so kids will fallout if not restrained, tires are cheap plastic and front footrest is too low
»easy to assemble
»more compact than other doubles
»sleek look
»lots of colors to choose when buying
»great for smaller toddlers (my 2.5 yr old fits great in the backseat, and OK in the front)
»pushes fine, is NOT wobbly like I've seen others state in reviews
»BEST priced double stroller, worth the money! Cons-
»canopy was a bit confusing to put on during assembly
»canopy gets a little smushed from folding up stroller
»toddlers are a bit too big for the front seat, but not too bad
»very little, hard to access basket and no parent tray The only complaint-
This stroller is the most difficult thing to fold. My husband and I were stnading in the rain for about 10 minutes trying to fold that thing. He said we should've just left it there (not really, ha) bit it was a great laugh afterwords.
I was looking for a stroller to use while traveling with my 3 1/2 year old and my almost 2 year old. I liked that this stroller folded up small and still had seats for both, and wasn't as wide as side by side strollers. My kids actually fit pretty well in the seats, even the back seat. My main problem is that the front seat is just very uncomfortable. The bar that comes across the front hits at a bizarre place, so my kids can't rest their hands on it. Instead, it hits about shoulder height (and both are tall for their age). I read other reviews that the seat wasn't deep enough in the front. I didn't see that problem. Instead, my problem is that my kids have nowhere to put their feet. The foot rest is too far back from the seat, so my kids ended up resting their feet on the wheels (which obviously didn't work either). I didn't have very high expectations for the steering of this stroller, considering the price point, and steering was difficult. Plus, it is difficult going over bumps in the sidewalk or small steps because it is difficult to lean back. I am going to return this and just use two umbrella stroller for our trips.
The style (double umbrella) is exactly what I want. However, when it arrived there was a tear in the material. The mechanism to recline the back seat broke off when I tried to adjust it. The back seat does not recline enough for a child to lay back and sleep. The front seat barely reclines at all. I returned it the day it arrived. The reason I have not ordered a replacement is that I was unable to fully open the stroller. It was to difficult. The only good thing about it was that it is light weight and compact. I am 5'5" and find that most strollers are to short. This stroller is a little taller than most. It would have been a comfortable height for me.
We purchased this stroller as a second, more compact stroller. Our primary stroller is a City Mini Double GT (Side by Side). Our twins are at the point of transitioning out of car carriers and into car seats. We also currently use the Baby Trend snap n go. It is very light weight, and can one hand fold....this is what we wanted to replace.
We ran into 2 short falls on this stroller. First, you can not open and close the stroller with a single hand. Second, the rear tires spread and bind up when you try and pull the stroller backwards...such as going through a doorway. So we returned the stroller.
I received the stroller and found the stroller was slightly used. Can see stripes on all tires. Canopy was poorly bented. But idea of the stroller is great. Would definitely appreciated if my stroller was new
This product is great for the price range. Easy assembly YEAH!!!! It is a little hard to open but once you get the hang of it it gets better. The seats are not that wide but it works pretty well for short trips.
I ordered this in March and it is already broken in June, it never did work right to begin with, and today it just literally fell apart
she loves being able to function while caring for both twins. she is mobile now, not trying to carry 2 babies at once
I bought it so comfortable and small I think is the best option for twins is not ostentatious and shape is really nice.
I have two small children and use public transit to get around and this stroller really comes in handy.
I don't know how to close it but other than that I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great stroller, well made, great price!
very easy to get in and out of the van love it
Beautiful and confortablemfor my two princesses

A quarter century. That's a mere blink of the eye in the life of an elephant or a Galapagos tortoise. After 25 years, oak trees may no longer be called saplings. But it's a long time for an opinion columnist. And, frankly, it's a mark I never expected to reach. Sure doesn't seem that long.
As we approach the doom and gloom of the fiscal cliff, its repercussions are mild compared to what was happening here 150 years ago.
Fifteen years ago, when I moved to northern California, people there often commented on my speech. I would usually just laugh and say, "You know, I never had an accent until I left Mississippi." The brighter folks usually figured out what I meant by that.
Folks familiar with Greek mythology (10th grade?) will remember that it was Alexander who "untied" the Gordian knot in 333 B.C. and, as a result, became known as Alexander the Great. The knot had existed since Gordius honored Zeus by tying it. No one could figure it out.
Tonight you may be sitting in a bar or alone in a hotel room, you may be confined to a hospital bed or you may be kneeling at a Communion altar. You may be with family or only dreaming of a family far away, wherever you are right now the Christmas Eve story is for you.
Once again, it's the season of joy and light on this little planet of ours. And please forgive me if it's unseasonal for me to mention this, but there's a little problem that has come up in Caledonia. It has come without much fanfare or attention, though it may very well lead to a great deal of attention if it's not tended to.
At Christmas we always think of children and gifts and goodwill. But do we ever stop and remember the people in our community or connected to it that year round do so much to help young people. Of course there are teachers and social workers and church youth leaders and scout leaders and so many others that I dare not list for fear of leaving someone out.
Early last January, I got a call from an old high school friend who lives in the suburbs of Memphis. It was the same day a deeply-disturbed 22-year-old named Jared Loughner opened fire in the parking lot of a Tucson supermarket, killing six people and injuring 12 others, including U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords.
It's been a tough road for the Delta, but high commodity prices are giving the region a healthy boost.
Once at MUW I shared my fear with Professor David Smith that I was not brave. Looking up from his desk with horn-rimmed glasses on the tip of his nose and disheveled graying hair on his head he said, "Bravery is not bravado. It's being afraid and doing it anyway."
What were you thinking? Why did you do what you did? I don't care if you were mentally ill. I don't care if you were a nerd, loner or had issues. I want answers to why you had to kill 20 elementary children and six adults. You killed your mother in her bed and you picked innocent, defenseless children in their school. You killed teachers trying to protect those children.
I have not talked with you in a while. I still think of you. I still feel with you. We have watched our children grow. Some of our children have had to endure heartbreaks, yet most of them have matured into responsible adults with careers: teachers, bankers, writers, photographers, lawyers, doctors, etc. To feel cool, they no longer are compelled to borrow each other's clothing or to see who can make an A in Uitohoven's English class. Some have babies, and those babies are OUR grandchildren.
The Christmas season always reminds me of barbecue and global warming. They have both been around our area a long time.
The failed Twin Creeks solar panel plant in Senatobia is yet another chapter in Mississippi's story of failed state investments.
I live in a world of superlatives, just ask my wife. But when every day is "the best day ever," I find I'm rarely disappointed. You would think that with high expectations, I would be let down more often than not. But I tend to keep my expectations realistic; it's what happens along the way that I find most exciting.
In tough times we expect strong leadership from public officials. These days our officials come from one of three types: leaders, pleaders, and plodders.
The cabin was barely finished when the need arose. The preacher man was exhausted and full of sorrows. "Come to the quiet," I offered.
As a child growing up in Southside, Cheryl Bush's favorite playground was Friendship Cemetery. "We'd run around there for hours and then pick up acorns," she said. When you ask her what she did with the acorns, she looks at you quizzically, too polite to imply you've asked a question with an obvious answer.
Last week, I had an interesting conversation with Sam and Carolyn Kaye about Horace King. King, the subject of a previous column, was a black bridge builder who, in 1842, built the first bridge across the Tombigbee River at Columbus.
Almost every afternoon, I take the walk from the office to Coffee House on 5th for an iced tea. The other day, I noticed a young lady sitting at one of the tables there, working on her laptop, which was positioned at such an angle that I could recognize what was on the screen. "Algebra, right?" I asked. "Yes," she said wearily. "I'm studying for finals." I certainly remembered the feeling, if not the algebra.

nice jump out of the gate...another weak day in the BDI and handy class index.
Does anyone have a date for the 4th quarter earnings report?
Last year they didn't disclose 4Q until 3/26, about three weeks before the FY results. Don't know if it will be the same this year; Schwab says they expect 3/25 this year.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Lightsaber Duels Preview
Not as clumsy or random as your typical fighting game.
So no, I don't have any idea whether or not Lightsaber Duels observes authentic, Lucas-approved lightsaber stances. Nor should you care! That would be missing the point of this game, the same way that stormtroopers somehow miss everything they shoot at. Lightsaber Duels isn't really about telling a great story or anything despite the bits of banter exchanged in the heat of battle when two characters lock swords. It simply is about this: using the Wii Remote like it's a lightsaber. In other words, this is pretty much the game that sprang immediately to everyone's mind the moment the Wii Remote was first revealed to the world.
Or rather, it's almost that game. At E3 this year, Nintendo announced a new technology called Wii Motion Plus that will bring true 1-to-1 motion controls to the system. And, ever open and helpful to its most important third-party supporters (said ironically), the company didn't bother to inform anyone of the technology's existence before revealing it to the world. So Lightsaber Duels won't offer a truly immersive sword-battling experience. You'll have to wait for the sequel for that! This one is a sort of halfway point. That disturbance in the Force -- it's as if a million voices cried out in anger before sadly realizing they were going to buy the game anyway.
SCREENS: Click the image above to check out all Star Wars: The Clone Wars -- Lightsaber Duels screens.
But it could be worse; LucasArts has put out some sincerely crappy Star Wars product in recent years, and Lightsaber Duels is anything but. Sure, it could be quite a bit more promising if only Nintendo weren't so churlish with its information, but even so, this fighting game seems sincerely promising. The version on display at Penny Arcade Expo this weekend featured only two characters (Obi-Wan Kenobi decked out in armor and dual-blade wielder Asajj Ventress) and a single environment (a starfighter hangar), but it got the point across. Lightsaber Duels isn't your typical fighting game; it's nowhere near as fast as something like Soul Calibur IV, but that's not bad at all. Its more methodical pacing is akin to classic weapon fighters like Bushido Blade and The Last Blade. While it lacks either of those games' brilliant damage models -- you simply take damage to your life bar whenever you're hit, per usual -- it still stands out as something fairly unique. The slower-than-normal speed has a lot to do with the motion controls. Swinging the Remote takes more time than simply mashing a button, and Lightsaber Duels seems built around fairness and playability. Simply swinging wildly is a good way to lose, since the Wii Remote registers several types of attacks. You have your usual sweeping lateral motions, a strong overhead swipe, and quick thrusts, each with a different delay and priority. To add a touch of complexity, it's possible to block, jump, and dodge, although like the sword motions, these are rather slower and more methodical than usual. Blocking doesn't happen instantly, for instance; you need to read your opponent's actions and block as they begin to swing or else you'll be unable to raise your blade in time to defend.
Of course, it's possible to turtle behind a defensive stance, but that's not wise. Characters can use the Force to levitate and fling items strewn around the arena, some of which can be manipulated while offscreen and smashed into an opponent's head from behind their guard. Players can also activate a sort of Force-enhanced attack mode that lends extra powers to their combos. Also, in keeping with the game's more true-to-life approach to swordsmanship, combos in Lightsaber Duels are natural combinations of sword motions rather than special moves per se.
All in all, this seems to represent an interesting and unique take on the fighting genre, which makes it far more promising than if it had shaped up to be a typical fighting game with motion gimmicks tacked on. Instead, Lightsaber Duels feels more strategic and measured than its peers, which could go a long way toward making it more than simply a motion-controlled novelty. Roughly a dozen characters will be available to play, too, which should add some variety and depth.
They're all Clone Wars-era characters, though: no Luke Skywalker or black-suited Vader for you. More likely, you'll get Kit Fisto and Luminara Unduli (or maybe even -- dare we dream! -- Yaddle). So I guess Lightsaber Duels actually is sticking to canon. Which in turn probably means that Yoda really will use the proper lightsaber forms. I guess it's your lucky day, Wookieepedia warriors.

HmmmPosted: Nov 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Tophar
So your looking at your character from a side view but using the wiimote as if you were fighting a person in front of you? That seems kinda weird.
When I first heard about this game I was picturing a console version of the saber battler you got to do on the Star Wars Arcade game thing only much cooler. Miunnio looks aight I s'pose

1:1? Come on!Posted: Sep 02, 2008 12:00AM PST by Redshell
Am I really supposed to believe that if Nintendo had given Lucasarts another 6 months lead time, that this game would be built around 1:1 controls?
I'm skeptical. That seems kinda ridiculous. It would be an entirely different style of game.

In the concluding chapter of Sociobiology: A New Synthesis, Harvard University's Edward O. Wilson states, "Scientists and humanists should consider together the possibility that the time has come for ethics to be removed temporarily from the hands of the philosophers and biologicized."[1] Wilson is certainly not the first to recommend this move.[2] For Wilson, it is bound up with his aim to promote the "Modern Synthesis" involving sociobiology, which he defines as "the systematic study of the bio … [Read more...]

Lights Out: Shining a Light on Caring for the Dying in a Multi-Faith World
What would you do if you were a chaplain or pastor or trusted friend given the honor of caring for someone of another faith tradition who is approaching death? My students and I have heard from many faith leaders in my world religions class this semester talk about their views of the soul and body as well as end of life care.There were a variety of views presented, as one would expect. For all the differences, though, we can start from a common basis. As the Buddhist guest speaker shared, … [Read more...]
If I Weren't a Christian, Perhaps I'd Be a Pagan
Max Weber wrote that the "progressive disenchantment of the world" marks modernity. This is indeed the case, even though some have sought to demonstrate a potent counter-trend in modernity to provide forms of re-enchantment compatible with secular reason.[1]I discussed the theme of disenchantment and re-enchantment with a Pagan during a recent dinner event involving Pagans and Evangelicals.

Is Religion a Biologically Determined Neurosis?
Is religion a biologically determined neurosis? Yes and no. Before seeking to answer this question more fully, I will summarize some basic tenets of someone who viewed religion in this way—Sigmund Freud.Freud has been called a 'biologist of the mind.' While there is a line of distinction between the brain and mind for Freud, the distinction does not pertain to reality, but concepts. There are not two independent substances—brain and mind. Thus, Freud was a materialist. He was also a determi … [Read more...]

In Steve's estimation, churches can help foster a vital connection between faith and science in people's minds and hearts through … [Read more...]


text: This is team trap-turn. It's a simple strategy, trap foes with Magnezone and Dugtrio, and kill. Lure foes to be trapped with U-Turn, and trap and kill. I got it to 1300 on the ladder, but it could be a lot better, hopefully with some friendly advice. First up are the trappers. Magnezone @ Leftovers Trait: Magnet Pull EVs: 204 HP / 252 SAtk / 52 Spd Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Substitute - Charge Beam - Hidden Power [Fire] - Thunderbolt Your standard steel trapper. As everyone knows, he owns steel. Minus Bronzong(EQ) Jirachi(Fire Punch) Scizor(Superpower BrickBreak) Other than that, he kills em all, and any of those above lacking those moves. His main job is to stop Forre Ferro and Skarm from setting layers. I love seeing teams with them on it, as you know this guy is destroying any hopes they had. They become major liabilities and this guy comes out + whatever charge beam lets me come out. Typically I'm finding with sub and leftovers and rain he never uses hp fire all that much, so i'm pondering dropping it for a different move that should surpise a common switch in, like Landorus, Terrakion, or Gliscor. Kinda torn between water and ice here. As more than one kill after I get 3 or 4 charge boosts would be nice :D EV nature wise, Max attack and Max bulk. The speed is there to outspeed the Scizors that have the token few evs tossed it's way for speed. Dugtrio (M) @ Choice Band Trait: Arena Trap EVs: 244 HP / 252 Atk / 12 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Beat Up - Earthquake - Stone Edge - Sucker Punch The next of the two trappers. This guy is different than most variants. Choice Band is essential to how I play him. As is maximum hp, as he can take a hit this way, and I get the strength boost from band and don't have to be sashed. Before you hate on Beat Up, it serves its role amazing. It OHKO's sub Gengar even with only 5 hits. It OHKO Azelf, Espeon, Xatu. 2HKO Jellicent with a full team, and Deoxys-D(Some) Just gotta make sure never to hit Terrakion/Virizion with it. Sucker punch is for later game closing, once I have a good read on what sets i'm facing, Starmie is OHKO by it which is huge, as I can switch into rapid spin and kill easily. I'm pondering dropping Stone Edge as I rarely use it, I put it up to catch Volcarona quiver dancing, but if I have rocks up EQ suffices without being rocked by misses. I hate misses. EV Wise, I know speed is lacking, but between Sucker Punch he outspeeds what he has to. Max Speed Heatran, almost all Ninetales. Other than that, he doesn't really need to outrun anything else common. The Lead Heatran (M) @ Air Balloon Trait: Flash Fire EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd Naive Nature (+Spd, -SDef) - Flame Charge - Stealth Rock - Hidden Power [Ice] - Earth Power This guy is typically my lead. He begs to be hit by water for Gastrodon boosts, who destroys rain teams. He lays rocks. I know i'm lacking special fire attacks, but Flame Charge owns sun teams, so it's really hard to drop. Plus after two he outspeeds most the meta game. HP Ice is pretty standard to check the common switch ins. It also lets him switch into outrages to OHKO back. Earth Power is for other trans, im pondering dropping it as my team really isn't Heatran weak, it's just nice to know this guy beats all variants of heatran if the other team has him, which what 1/3 do. If anyone has suggestions about Earth Power or a different HP that would help the team out more that would be sweet. Heatrans synergy with each poke on this team is amazing, and I don't like to sacrifice him as he can work with any of them for late game. Salamence (F) @ Choice Scarf Trait: Moxie EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Naughty Nature (+Atk, -SDef) - Outrage - Dragon Claw - Flamethrower - Earthquake This is my main sweeper after Mag has done his job. He also is a great lure of steel as well for Mag. They both cover eachother amazingly and gel so well it's ridiculous. Dragon claw is there so I have stab and don't get locked in to be sharded to death. EQ and flamethrower are there for some prediction fun. I don't go fire blast as I hate it when moves miss, and flame thrower is strong against whatever is weak to it anyways. Nature wise and ev wise. I wanted max attack as each kill gives you that much more power. Speed he is scarfed so he outspeeds most everything, just have to watch out for other Mence and Scarf Terrakion. But I have Tran and Scizor for those guys anyways. Gastrodon (F) @ Leftovers Trait: Storm Drain EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SAtk Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk) - Ice Beam - Surf - Hidden Power [Grass] - Earth Power I keep messing around with this guy. I would like to have Toxic on him, if I stay with leftovers. But I love having a move for every single poke, minus Gyarados/Kingdra/Ferrothorn. He was specs before, and destroyed rain teams after a boost. But he still does with leftovers and has more usefulness now. HP grass is to safely switch into a water move, and kill right back. I chose surf over scald, as in the rain a boosted Surf destroys everything, even ferrothorn doesn't like it. EVS are set to make him as strong and as bulky as possible. Leftovers helps him last longer, and switch moves around. Scizor (F) @ Rocky Helmet Trait: Technician EVs: 252 HP / 16 Atk / 240 Def Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Roost - U-turn - Swords Dance - Bullet Punch This is my physical wall. If you haven't noticed, I like power and synergy over stalling. But this guy usually gets stronger as the match goes on. He can switch into fake outs and hurt the foe more. He can switch into pretty much any physical move, and either boost, or roost. Terrakion close combat does 40-60 percent, and I can threaten to OHKO back with BP. It is a weaker BP, but boosting is easy with this guy, after one swords dance he hits as hard as a banded scizor anyways. U-Turn is there to lure out Mag and get trapped for an easy Dug kill. Or to lure fire pokes to allow heatran to set up. The evs are set to maximize his bulk so he can stick around for a long time, unless I play super bad. U-Turn could be utilized better on a different Scizor, but the idea is to only have to use it once or never depending on the team. This guy counters all scizors 1 on 1, and before you say it, especially Superpower ones, they only hurt him once, and I can roost and boost after that. This guy also owns Gliscor. I have even switched in on sub'ed and sword danced ones and came out on top.

Good Samaritans Bought Homeless Couple 3 Nights Out Of The Cold, But The Hotel Kicked Them Out
CREDIT: Shutterstock
The low temperature for Columbus, OH on Saturday was 6 degrees. Blowing snow was creating whiteout conditions for drivers. George and Joyce Gruss were already delayed hours by winter weather when they stopped at a Wendy's off of Interstate 71 to get some dinner.
While they ate, they noticed a woman at a nearby table crying. "We were thinking maybe it was a Valentine's Day gone bad or something," George told ThinkProgress. But when Joyce asked her and her male companion what was wrong, it turned out they were homeless and stuck in Columbus after someone they were traveling with on their way to Michigan left them there. They had been staying at a shelter but told the Grusses that they missed the curfew that evening and couldn't get back in. And while they had scraped together $60, hotels wouldn't let them stay because they didn't have any identification. Homeless people often lack ID because it can be difficult to maintain the necessary documents.
So the Grusses decided to help. "We thought maybe more than a night would be good if we can do that," he said. They decided to drive the couple to a Super 8 hotel in the area and buy them a stay for three nights, and then reach out to friends in Columbus who could get them more outreach and help. The couple accepted. "They said they'd be willing to do anything, whatever help we were willing to offer, they were happy to accept it," he said.
When they got to the Super 8, George says no one paid them any attention, including a nearby security guard. He presented his own ID and credit cards and they were given keys to a room. After taking the couple to their room, George and Joyce said goodbye and kept driving toward Dayton.
An hour later, George got a call that ruined their good deed. It was a security guard at the Super 8. He said the hotel had checked on the room and when the couple couldn't produce ID, it kicked them out. "We argued with them," he recalled. "I told him we paid for the room." Even though he said they were willing to risk any potential damage to the room, the guard insisted that because guests have to be 21 to stay in rooms and the couple had no identification to prove they were over that age, they couldn't stay.
"He ended the conversation by saying, 'Oh by the way, your repayment is not refundable,'" George said. He hadn't cared about the money until that point. "I felt like I was robbed."
He says his call to Super 8's corporate headquarters didn't produce any results either and he and his wife were already an hour away. "We got to Dayton so frustrated and so sad," he said. "We missed the opportunity to help someone." He posted on Facebook about the ordeal and his sons pushed the story out on Twitter. Eventually a petition was created, which had nearly reached its 15,000 signature goal as of Tuesday afternoon. "We're not trying to bash Super 8," George was quick to explain. "We're just frustrated with one hotel."
In an emailed statement, a spokesperson for the Wyndham Hotel Group, which owns Super 8, said, "As a hotel franchisor, we consider guest safety and security to be of the upmost importance and as such, require each of the independently owned and operated hotels in our portfolio to comply with not only our own brand standards but also all local, state and federal laws. Please know that we take seriously the concerns that have been shared and are investigating at this time."
George noted that there may be reasons to have a rule requiring ID. But, he said, "I think they maliciously applied the rule and hurt a couple, put them out in the cold."
He and his wife don't know what happened to the couple. On their drive back home on Monday, they went to all the fast food restaurants in the area where they met as well as on streets and in stores. "But we never found them. So that's where we are," he noted sadly.
He says someone from Wyndham has called him since and said the company "would try to make this right," in part by refunding the couple's money. But, he noted, "The opportunity to make this right as passed. This poor couple got put out in the cold."
But he said when the company sent him his refund, they're going to give all of the money to a group in Columbus that helps the homeless. "We're just going to donate it directly to that group and let them help other homeless people, because that's what was intended to happen," he said.
More than 153,000 Americans go without shelter on any given night, and frigid winter temperatures make a difficult situation a deadly one. The cold has already claimed homeless lives, and last year an estimated 2,000 people died on the streets.

Views on authorship and author contribution statements: poll results, part 1
A little while back I polled y'all on your views on who should get to be an author of a scientific paper, and on author contribution statements as a way of apportioning credit and responsibility for scientific papers. Here are the results on authorship, which I find quite interesting. There's a fair bit of disagreement! I'll post results on author contribution statements in a follow-up post.
Ask us anything: reviewing papers for small journals
A while back we invited you to ask us anything. Here's our answer to our next question, from Richard Feldman. The question has been paraphrased for brevity, click through for the original.
How do you fairly review a paper for a smaller or more local journal? Does one just look at recent issues and say 'oh, that's how it's done at this journal', or does one push the authors to be more rigorous and correct mistakes?
Where to drink in Ft. Lauderdale for the ESA meeting if you're a beer geek
I won't be at the ESA meeting this year, but as a
service to the community way of procrastinating, here are the fruits of my background research on where to drink interesting beer in Ft. Lauderdale.* Think of it as a specialized supplement to J. Matt Hoch's guest post yesterday on where to eat and drink in Ft. Lauderdale.
Or, you could just find a nice spot by the beach and drink whatever Steve Walker's drinking. But I wouldn't recommend that.**😉
Where to eat and drink in Ft. Lauderdale for the ESA meeting
Note from Jeremy: this is a guest post from J. Matt Hoch, an ecologist at Nova Southeastern University in Ft. Lauderdale. Thanks very much to Matt for sharing his local knowledge–and for going so far as to poll his whole college for suggestions! He even told you where to eat in Miami if you have time to pop down there. He'll be at the ESA meeting, so if you see him thank him in person!
E. C. Pielou, 1923-2016
Very sad news: E. C. Pielou has passed away. After earning two PhDs–in mathematics and mathematical ecology–she pioneered multivariate statistics in ecology. Like countless ecologists, I learned multivariate statistics from her classic textbook, The Interpretation of Ecological Data. She wrote several other books on mathematical ecology. Canadian ecologists in particular will feel her loss; she held faculty positions at Queens, Dalhousie, and Lethbridge (that last as a Canada Research Chair), and remained an active environmentalist, naturalist, and nature writer in British Columbia until the end of her life. Among her many awards and honors, she was the second woman to receive the ESA's Eminent Ecologist Award, in 1986. Fond personal remembrance from Loys Maingon of Comox Valley Nature here.
2016 has been a sad year for ecology–a whole generation of giants is passing on.
UPDATE: In the comments, Meg passes on a link to Jacquelyn Gill's very nice 2012 piece on E. C. Pielou. Both her piece, and the remembrance linked above, include amusing anecdotes attesting to the value Pielou attached to mathematical rigor and precision. Jacquelyn's piece also includes detail on Pielou's remarkable life story, of which I was embarrassingly unaware. She started out as a self-taught amateur in the late 1950s, and was awarded a PhD from the University of London based on papers she'd written on her own without an adviser or supervisory committee.
Friday links: how to do good research, results-free review, and more
Also this week: all we have to fear is
getting scooped fear of getting scooped, A>Z, the ongoing death professionalization of science blogging, and more. Including a bit of shameless own-horn tooting.
Who's asked me to review recently, and how I've responded
In case you're curious, here's every review request I've received since July 2013, including those I declined. I haven't counted counted mss I've handled as an editor for Axios Review or as a guest editor for Functional Ecology. First the list, in descending order of number of requests, then a few comments. Unless you have insomnia, you'll probably just want to scroll to the comments.
Ask us anything: taking a "starter" job
A while back we invited you to ask us anything. Here are our answers to the next question, from Mason. Question is paraphrased for brevity, click the link for the full question.
Any advice on applying for and accepting positions that aren't ideal from the perspective of the applicant? For instance, what if you accept a position because its your only option at the time, but then later get a better offer? Should you mention at the interview stage that you've applied for other positions that you'd prefer?
Want to write a guest post for us on where to eat and drink at the ESA meeting? (UPDATED)
Do you know Ft. Lauderdale? Do you like to eat food and drink drinks? If so, you can do us and thousands of ecologists a favor by writing a guest post for us on where to eat and drink in Ft. Lauderdale for the ESA meeting! (UPDATE: We've got someone lined up, post will go up later this week or early next week.)
Here, here, and here are our posts from last year on where to eat and drink in Baltimore, to give you an idea of the sort of thing we're looking for. We've been doing these posts for a few years now and they've become really popular.
If you're interested, email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) or tweet to @DynamicEcology. First volunteer or two gets the gig! You'd need to be able to write something in the next 10 days or so.
