Wonderfully accurate overview of what happened to Mr. Cheney.
This type of procedure
is no longer considered very invasive and I hate it when they call
all cardiac infarctions
(help me out Char, if the terminology is not correct) heart attacks.
That is the terminology
that reporters think we understand when what it does is tell little
if anything about the
nature of the problem... IMO...
I'd hate to go hunting with several of these news reporters about now...
liable to get your
head blown off by someone trying to get the latest scope...
When I was a kid, I hunted with a 12-Gauge Pump Marlin. We hunted
rabbits in Ohio. It
was a real wake-up call the first and only time I ever set the
trigger off *accidentally*. Blew
a nice hole in the ground and scared the bejebbers out of me and, of
course, everyone around me.
I was 12 or so at the time. Things like that can happen with
a young plebe sent out to do a
"man's" job, but that was how we "came of age" in the Swainhart family...
I imagine that is what happened with this story. Somebody got
trigger happy and didn't get their
facts straight being so anxious for that big pay raise...

|Sat, 25 Dec 2010 06:22:41 GMT
Can you please point me an example of that or some Hector API documentation? I am currently using IndexedSliceRangeQuery to filter on a 2ndary index and fetching all columns of the matching rows - using range start/end = null. Can the option you suggest be used with the 2ndry index filtering? I would appreciate very much seeing an example. Does it make any performance difference whether that conversion is done by Hector/Cass or by the app? Thanks.

Renee Zellweger sure does score major hotties.
After splitting with her boyfriend of two years Bradley Cooper in March, Zellweger seems to have moved on with everyone's favorite TV uncle: John Stamos!
Zellweger and the artist formerly known as "Full House's" Uncle Jesse were spotted together at Disneyland on Monday, July 11, US Weekly reports. One witness says the stars "were having a great time laughing and dancing as they walked from one ride to another."
The chatty Cathy witness says Zellweger, 42, and Stamos, 47, "looked really close and both very happy" but "were trying to stay under the radar." The "Glee" guest star posed for pictures with fans and Zellweger was more than happy to play photographer. "We didn't recognize her until they were leaving and she handed my phone back to us," the fan says.
What do you think of this new couple, Zappers? Are you down with Zellstamos? Or would it be Stamweger? Sound off in the comments.

Once, twice, three times a pyramid: thanks to non-invasive scanning, archaeologists have determined that "El Castilo," also known as the Kukulkan pyramid in Chichen Itza, has two other pyramids inside of it. As The Guardian explains:

"A 10-metre-tall pyramid was found within another 20-metre structure, which itself is enveloped by the 30-metre exterior visible at the Maya archeological complex known as Chichen Itza in Yucatán state. The smallest pyramid was built between the years 550 and 800, engineers and anthropologists said. The middle structure had already been discovered in the 1930s and dates back to the years 800-1000, while the largest one was finished between 1050 and 1300."

Forming a closer, more harmonious bond between humanity and nature is the underlying goal of Javier Senosiain's organic or so-called "bio-architecture." His buildings often take the shape of organic forms--in one case, mythic serpent Quetzalcoatl--while simultaneously harvesting rainwater and providing natural shade and ventilation, among other attributes. The Mexican architect and professor at UNAM has a retrospective exhibition at The Palace of Fine Arts in Mexico City displaying his buildings, including a proposed low-income housing complex which breaks away from the cram'em'in monolithic housing milleu and instead creates a walkable, livable village. Check out this CCTV-America video profiling Senosiain and his work:

Mexico City is notorious for its gridlock (and the smog it produces). The ride-sharing platform Uber has taken advantage of this captive audience with an unusual advertising medium: drones.

As reported by Bloomberg, Uber has sent off a fleet of sign-bearing drones to hover over windshields. "Driving by yourself?" asks one in Spanish. "That's why you can never see the volcanoes."

Mexico City represents Uber's biggest market, so the unique (and aggressive) advertising strategy makes some sense. No word yet on any drone-provoked fender benders.

..We must expose rather than mask the institutional mechanisms driving uneven urban development. Such a revelation requires a corresponding expansion of our understanding of the scope of architecture itself—can we design human rights, for example? Can social justice become an architectural protocol? In other words, the most important materials with which architects must learn to work are not steel and concrete but critical knowledge of the underlying conditions that produce today's urban crises.

The article makes reference to the controversy generated a few months ago over a competition to design Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's proposed border wall between the US and Mexico. The editors of Bustler, Archinect's sister site, decided not to host the competition due to potential conflicts with our ethical standards, writing, "We are conflicted about the nature of the competition and fear that it promotes xenophobia. The competition goes against the ethical standards we strive to align ourselves with."

For more on the competition, check out the editorial on Bustler.

It is a simple sculpture: 64 concrete pyramids that stand in a perfect circle around two-and-a-half acres of rippling, black volcanic rock. Known as "Espacio Escultórico" ("Sculptural Space"), the sculpture was inaugurated in 1979 here on the campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. It is considered one of the most important pieces of land art in Mexico, a tranquil oasis in a chaotic city.

"But the recent construction of a white eight-story building nearby has prompted a furious protest that pits the university's needs against Mexico's cultural heritage."

Much will be published over the coming days about the Biennale's national pavilion winners—Spain's "Unfinished" (with the Golden Lion) and Japan's "en: Art of Nexus" and Peru's "Our Amazon Frontline" (with special mentions). It is a phenomenon that conceals the terrain, limiting the perspective of the majority, and inaccurately reduces the dynamism of the lived experience. At the same time, after the fascination with the nominations wears off, it garners those passed over with a certain mystique. In the interest of representation and curiosity, then, it seems fitting to acknowledge a (very) small sampling of the more and wider.

Oh, Canada. This year, per curator Pierre Bélanger, the Canadians overcame "a list of every possible bureaucratic, logistical, and material blockade imaginable multiplied times three" in order to participate in the Biennale. With their permanent pavilion closed for construction and an agitator's stance, the "Extraction" team's contribution is all fight. They t...

After Alejandro Aravena accepted the Pritzker Prize yesterday, his firm Elemental released four open source plans for low income housing that, according to the firm's website, balance the constraints of "low-rise high density, without overcrowding, with possibility of expansion (from social housing to middle-class dwelling)." The plans were released partly as a response to the looming housing crisis of 2030, in which it is estimated that two billion people will be living under the poverty line.

Aravena's self-described "incremental housing" is partly a governmental effort, and partly an individual one. By providing plans for proven models of sustainable housing, people can have greater agency in housing themselves. "Given the magnitude of the housing shortage, we won't solve this problem unless we add people's own resources and building capacity to that of governments and the market," reads Elemental's statement.

The four projects Elemental has released plans for are Quinta Monroy, V...

'Mexico City's water system goes against its own functional essence. The city is dehydrating itself. We're mixing our water with poisonous waste and then pumping it out through a complex network of pipes. Just like what happens when a human is dehydrated, Mexico City has diarrhea.' — Elias Cattan

"In a mega-metropolis with a deep history of corrupt leaders and state-sanctioned misinformation, [architect Elias Cattan of Taller 13] believes awareness is the first step. That's why he's part of a growing movement of environmental scientists, activists, designers and engineers determined to redesign Mexico City's water supply management while educating its 9 million residents in the process."

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump dominated another round of primaries last night...further securing his position as the party's frontrunner. His polemical campaign continues to provoke criticism from both his own party and from Democrats, as concern over his inflammatory, xenophobic and sexist rhetoric transforms into panic. The debate breached into architecture after a competition was announced last week for design responses to Trump's call for a wall along the US/Mexico border.

Bustler, Archinect's sister site, declined the opportunity to post a competition calling for design responses to Donald Trump's calls for a border wall, which has since generated a good deal of controversy. Read about why – then join the debate on Bustler.

The Cross Border Xpress is the first project to join a site in the U.S. with a foreign airport terminal.

The number of Mexican immigrants living in the U.S. illegally has declined. In 2014, 5.6 million unauthorized immigrants from Mexico lived in the U.S., down by about 1 million since 2007. [...] Mexican unauthorized immigrants are more likely than unauthorized immigrants overall to work in the construction industry ... Among Mexican unauthorized immigrants ages 16 and older who were employed in 2012, 19% worked in construction and 13% worked in a wide range of businesses

The Wall Street Journal previously reported on the trend of declining Mexican-born workers in the U.S. construction industry, leading to a total loss of half a million laborers since 2007. According to a Pew Research Study in "Hispanic Trends" from March of 2015, citing the most recent data through 2012, unauthorized immigrants account for 14% of the construction workforce overall:

Unauthorized immigrants made up 5.1% of the nation's labor force in 2012, numbering 8.1 million who were working or looking for work, according to previously published Pew Research estimates (Passel and Cohn, 2014). But as this new analysis shows, they account for a far higher share of the total workforce in specific jobs, notably farming (26%), cleaning and maintenance (17%), and construction (14%).

And we want them to work within the social context, in this case, of Tijuana." "Tijuana is our laboratory," says Enrique González Silva, the school's founding academic director. "The idea of the program is that the students understand the reality of being an architect here." [...] "The theory is very important. But we want students to be able to design and build."

Housing – its affordability, accessibility, and form – is a key preoccupation of the Chicago Architecture Biennial. While not necessarily the core concern for most of the Biennial's participants, housing gets a significant share of the exhibition's floorspace.

Several participants' considerations of contemporary housing issues are exhibited in full-scale, benefitting the visitor with an easily relatable (and, at least by size, literally inhabitable) form. As one of these life-sized installations, Tatiana Bilbao Estudio's sustainable housing project stands out for already being realized outside of the Biennial's walls.

Designed in response to Mexico's housing shortage, referencing the country's overall deficit of 9 million homes, Bilbao's Sustainable Housing project aims to provide a prototype for affordable, adaptable, single-family social housing. After researching with potential users and observing concurrent trends in local social housing design, the firm produced a modified vision...

The ruins of a 16th century church have emerged from the waters of a reservoir in Mexico. The water level in the Nezahualcóyotl reservoir in Chiapas state has dropped by 25m (82ft) because of a drought in the area. The church, known as the Temple of Santiago or the Temple of Quechula, has been under nearly 100ft of water since 1966. The church, which is believed to have been built by Spanish colonists, is 183ft long and 42ft wide, with a bell tower that rises 48ft above the ground.

The airport's design is surely aiming to set the standard for the airport of the future. Not only is the new structure expected to be one of the world's largest airports at 555,000 sq. meters, it also aims to be the world's most sustainable airport.

Ask almost any of the local architects in this Mexican border town and they will tell you Tijuana has become a hotbed of building activity. The growing demand for designer homes, they say, is being driven primarily by Tijuana natives returning to the city... Most of the developments in Tijuana are for upper-middle-class families ... but the spare designs and basic building materials, especially concrete, used by Mr. Medina and others make it possible for more residents to have designed homes.

As a result of the violence, the local real estate market has bottomed out. Those who flee the city usually can't sell their homes and businesses, so more and more buildings, including some of Tampico's largest and most impressive ones, lie abandoned. Buildings that could easily survive for another century are mere empty shells, with huge trees growing through the roofs and out of the windows. Such levels of abandonment are rarely seen in the centre of a major city.

"To me, this house is the ultimate modernity dream come true," says Fernando Romero of the two-story, mid-century gem he calls home. "It is extremely flexible for all types of activities: for family, for socializing, for living." Designed in 1955 by homegrown architect Francisco Artigas, the house is located in the leafy suburbs of Mexico City, adjacent to one of largest city parks in the Western Hemisphere, Bosque de Chapultepec.

Designed by the British architect David Chipperfield, the three-story building is a plain, compact block of light travertine, unornamented apart from a saw-tooth crest on top. It's a no-nonsense, no-ego structure that seems to look inward rather than outward.

Holland Cotter reviews the new Museo Jumex, a contemporary art museum in Mexico City sponsored by the art patron Eugenio López Alonso. Built adjacent to the more formally -adventurous Museo Soumaya, she judges that the architectural design and inaugural exhibitions point to "a calculated effort by the museum to set itself apart, to baffle expectations".

For this brief phase in international relations, then, the U.S./Mexico border formally included a strange, pop-up entry/exit point. A kind of embassy of the porous. Passport stamps from the experience must surely stand as some of the most unique in the world, like some variation on philatelic collecting.

 "Architect and designer Quilian Riano was on hand for the crossing, and these are his photographs reproduced here. By way of email, Riano described the physical terrain where they crossed beneath and through the border, remarking that the hydrological status of the land there 'really makes you think about how arbitrary borders are.'"

"It would be easy for me to raise a picket sign and as an architect say, 'Down with this wall!'" Rael said in a release. "I have to accept the wall because it exists, but as a designer I see that something better is possible. Why not do something intelligent, something incredible? I envision not just a 'dumb wall,' but a social infrastructure that connects and improves lives on both sides."

The launch of our new stick has yielded a bunch of incredible feedback. Please keep it coming! We thought we'd take a moment to answer two of our most commonly asked questions and let you know a little about our process of development.
Do you plan to make a grapefruit version of your new sticks?
When will we see a baking soda free version of the stick?
The Lavender Bergamot and the Lemon Eucalyptus are the only versions of the stick that we have plans for in the near future. Besides taking f-o-r-e-v-e-r to develop these and wanting to enjoy our honeymoon with them– we're also such a small team that it takes a lot of work to launch new products, holy smokes!
Here are some technical reasons why…
When we formulated the deo sticks, we had a few key things in mind (besides using awesome, safe, organic, recognizable ingredients and a biodegradable stick). The stick has to be effective, gentle and non-greasy. Seems like we should easily be able to translate the cream recipes, right? Well, it's more complicated than just adding some wax and putting it in a tube. We made over 30 versions of the stick before we landed on this final version.
We were unable to make a successful deodorant that met those standards and with the same scent as the Grapefruit Baking Soda deodorant. The essential oils in the deodorants are just as hardworking as the other ingredients- they're not just a pretty scent! To create a Grapefruit version, we would have to increase the amount of those citrus essential oils to an unsafe dilution for them to be as effective as they are in the cream. Or we would have to increase the amount of baking soda, which would lead to irritation. Or we would have to increase the amount of powder, which would lead to a gunky mess.
This has a lot to do with the method of application. Even though the stick version is a more favorable application method, it's not as thorough as the cream. Applying with your fingers means that you can apply more and rub it all the way in- so it won't stain clothes or cause abrasion (which leads to irritation). The sticks have to be able to work with less product applied since people won't be rubbing it in with their fingers.
Essential oils all function very differently and all have different levels of effectiveness. In the end, we chose some stronger more antimicrobial oils that we could use at a lower dilution.
Because less is applied, the addition of that teeny amount of baking soda gives a little added "oomph" to the recipe- making it more effective. We did our due diligence on this. Last summer, we had some of our most loyal and "sensitive" customers, store owners and family (who use our BS-free deo) test out the sticks until we landed on something that works and had the least amount of baking soda while still giving fresh results.
We hope you'll give them a try! Shop it here.
Not just your potato's best friend, this fresh and woody herb promotes hair growth and stimulates blood circulation. The fragrant oils in the rosemary leaf also dissolve excess and clogging sebum in hair follicles to balance oil production without over-drying. Make your own herbal tea hair rinse with fresh rosemary or apply hair oil with the essential oil.
Soy is one of the most controversial foods in the world. Depending who you ask, some may call it a superfood while others consider it a toxin. It seems for every study supporting the benefits of soy there's another revealing its harmful effects− making researching soy very confusing to consumers.

Hello! Let me start by explaining that I am by no means good at cooking. I tend muddle my way through the same recipes every night because I know I won't screw them up. However, one thing that I know I rule at making is homemade sweet potato fries.
I'm sure if I had the luxury of a deep fryer, I'd use that. But I do not, so I'll just lie and say that I bake them because it's healthier. This is not a science, and no two batches ever turn out the same, so you need to try using these guidelines but it might take a couple tries to get them how you want them.
Preheat the oven to 425°. Start by peeling all of your yams. I usually cook one per person eating. Then you're going to chop them in halves and then keep slicing them into fry shapes. You don't want to cut them too narrow though, or else it makes them difficult to pick up and eat.
After you've cut all the yams, you can coat them in a thin layer of corn starch (the starch is optional. Depending on how fatty I want them to be, I will or won't add it. It helps make them more crisp) I find a colander (or strainer) is the easiest way to get the right amount. You end up wasting a lot into the sink, but I'd rather that than have them smothered. Add the starch, then carefully give them a good shake in the colander, until they are just dusted.
Arrange the fries on a pan. I just received a special french fry pan from Brad's mom so this was actually my first time using it! It works really well, and the holes in the bottom allow more heat to cook the fries evenly. However, if you're not quite a fry fanatic like me and don't have special cookware for them, a cookie sheet works just as well! Drizzle oil over the fries, and use your hands to flip them and make sure every side has some on them.
From there, add any sort of toppings or seasonings you'd like. My personal favourite is rosemary and sea salt, but I usually don't add the salt until I flip them.
While the fries are in the oven, you can make sauce! This one really needs no recipe since it is only 2 ingredients: Sriracha Sauce (hot sauce) and mayo. Just mix it up in a bowl, and vary the amounts depending on how much spice you'd like.
Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Makes 1 plate, enough for one really hungry person or 2 people to share.
2 yams
2 tablespoons of corn starch
2 tablespoons of olive oil
+ any additional seasonings, to taste (I like sea salt and rosemary)
For Sauce (mild spiciness):
1/2 cup of mayo
1 teaspoon of Sriracha Sauce
Preheat oven to 425°. Peel yams, then slice into fry shapes making sure not to cut them too thin. From here, you have the option to soak them in cold water, but it isn't mandatory and I usually can't tell the difference. Coat fries in corn starch in a colander and shake until they are dusted lightly. Place them on a baking pan then drizzle olive oil over the fries, and use your hands to make sure they are lightly coated in oil on every side. Arrange on the baking pan so there is about a finger space between the fries on every side. Add your seasoning preference, then place in the oven. Cook for about 10-15 minutes on the first side, then flip (this is when I add the sea salt) and finish cooking for about 5-10 minutes. This is where it is all down to you, because every oven is different. Just remember to keep an eye on them, and check that they aren't burning.
For the sauce, add the Sriracha Sauce to the mayo and stir. Add more Sriracha for more spice, or mayo to make it more mild, depending on your taste.

I bought a HDPE Sacred Flame hoop several months ago and I have to tell everyone how awesome it is! It's super light-weight and responsive. The design is beautiful. (I got the sugar skulls.) And it's incredibly well balanced. You can coil it up for travel and the bendy wicks make it less likey that you'll hurt the spines if you drop it. There is nothing not to like about this hoop!
One word of advice if you get one: be sure you shake the fuel off as you pull it out of the dip can, because some of the hoop is bare plastic, if can get a little slick if you drip fuel on it.
The customer service is wonderful. Slang is super helpful and totally on the ball. If you've been on the fence about this hoop, go for it. You will be so glad you did!

The number of suicides in the UK has risen for the first time in a decade as the recession took hold, according to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) yesterday.
Meanwhile, the number of divorces fell to the lowest level since 1975, suggesting that more couples may be staying together because the economic crisis left them unable to afford to split. Alcohol-related deaths also rose by 3.5 per cent over the same period to 9,031 lives lost – including 11 drinkers aged under 35. The figures will add to the growing alarm about the damage being done by Britain's culture of excessive drinking and fuel fears that the recession will have long-lasting repercussions.
The start of the recession coincided with a 6.1 per cent increase in the number of people taking their own lives – the first rise since 1998, the official statistics revealed. Since hitting a peak in 1998, suicide rates have steadily decreased, thanks to a range of initiatives to provide support to the vulnerable. But the number of suicides jumped from 5,377 in 2007 to 5,706 in 2008 – coinciding with the beginning of the recession.
Three times as many men as women killed themselves. Suicide rates for men were highest in the north east of England and lowest in the East Midlands. There is no clear regional pattern in female suicides.
There were also 9,031 alcohol-related deaths in the UK in 2008, compared to 8,724 the previous year. The number of drink-related fatalities has more than doubled since the early 1990s. Almost all the deaths were of people aged over 35, but 11 deaths related to alcohol consumption were recorded in 2008 in the 15-34 age group.
A separate ONS survey suggested that middle-class professionals were more likely to be heavy drinkers than people from less-privileged backgrounds. The study, Smoking and Drinking Among Adults, showed a clear class division in drinking habits. Professionals admitted consuming 13.8 units of alcohol a week, compared with 10.6 units in the households of manual workers. Middle-class drinkers also drank more frequently, with almost one in five admitting drinking alcohol on five or more days a week, compared to just 11 per cent of manual workers.
Divorces fell by 5 per cent in England and Wales in 2008, dropping to 121,779. It is the fifth consecutive year that the number has fallen, down from a peak of 153,176 in 2003, and the figure is the lowest since 1975.
Stephen Platt, Samaritans' trustee and professor of health policy research at the University of Edinburgh, warned that the rise in suicides could be the start of an upward trend caused by the recession. He said: "Given the strong research evidence of a link between economic recession and suicide, it is possible that this is the start of an upward trend in suicide which could continue until there is an improvement in economic conditions."
Sandra Davis, head of family law at Mishcon de Reya, said that 2008's financial crisis had led to couples staying in unhappy marriages.

Environmental conditions under which species reproduce have major consequences on breeding success and subsequent fitness. Therefore breeding habitat choice is ultimately important. Studies rarely address the potential fitness pay-offs of alternative natural breeding habitats by experimental translocation. Here we present a new tool to study fitness consequences of free living birds in different habitats. We translocated a migratory passerine, the pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca), to a novel site, where pairs were subjected to a short stay (2–4 days) in a nest box-equipped aviary before being released. We show that it is technically possible to retain birds in the new area for breeding, allowing the study of reproductive consequences of dispersal under natural conditions. The translocation resulted in an extension of the interval between arrival and egg laying of four days, highlighting the importance of having an adequate control group. Clutch size and nestling parameters did not differ significantly between translocated and unmanipulated females, which suggests that the procedure did not affect birds in their reproductive performance later on. This method could be applied broadly in evolutionary and ecological research, e.g., to study the potential fitness benefits and costs for dispersing to more northern latitudes as a way of adapting to climate change.

Environmental conditions have a great effect on avian breeding success and birds should be adapted to choose a location that maximizes fitness. Therefore, habitat choice of a bird is considered as a major life-history decision [1], [2]. The fitness consequences of habitat choice depend on physical and ecological features of the habitat, how well birds are adapted to these local circumstances, and the competition they experience. The idea that individuals are locally adapted to their breeding habitat assumes that they perform less in fitness terms if they are forced to breed at another place. This assumption is rarely tested under natural conditions outside isolated islands [3], because it appears difficult to force individuals to breed at a different place, and study their fitness compared to unmanipulated controls. Here we present a novel experimental procedure to study fitness consequences of avian habitat choice under natural conditions.
Habitat choice of a bird should have evolved to maximise fitness pay-offs [4] and can be based on, for example, innate preferences [5], previous experience or public information [6]. However, a birds' habitat choice might become maladaptive if adopted cues do not allow to track changes in the environment. In seasonally changing environments, the precise timing of arrival and breeding relative to the timing of other organisms in that environment is often crucial [7]. In addition, current climate change differentially shifts the timing of the annual cycle of many organisms leading to mismatches between cycles of prey and predator [8], [9]. This mismatch is particularly acute in long-distance migrants breeding in temperate forests: their arrival and breeding dates advanced less than the peak abundance of caterpillars [10], [11]. Consequently, they fail to profit from the short food peak in spring, with possible fitness consequences and population declines [12], [13].
If birds are unable to adjust sufficiently to changes in one habitat, dispersal to a different habitat might be an advantageous mechanism. Our aim was to develop a method to experimentally study the consequences of this potential mechanism. Successful adaptation to climate change is possible without a change in timing by dispersing to habitats that show less seasonality in food abundance or a later food peak. To overcome the problem of arriving and breeding too late under conditions of severe climate warming, individual birds could also move to more northerly breeding areas where spring starts later. This could be advantageous for the individual by increasing its reproductive success. In addition, genes for earlier migration introduced by birds normally breeding at more southerly latitudes could also facilitate adaptation in the northern population [14] if they result in a better match with the phenology of their main prey. Although those genes may be beneficial in a northern breeding area, there are potentially high costs involved in moving north. Evolutionary costs can be the break-up of co-adapted gene complexes and outbreeding, which can result in a loss of beneficial local adaptations [15]–[17]. Introduced individuals lack experience with the local habitat and its associated food sources and predators [18], [19]. In order to find out how important northward dispersal could be as an adaptation to climate change, we need to study fitness correlates of dispersing individuals.
Studies comparing the performance of philopatric birds with that of long-distance dispersers hardly exist, mainly because of the difficulties to track birds [20]. One example is a study by Hansson et al. [21] where stable isotope analysis was used to identify immigrating long-distance dispersers. Lifetime reproductive success was found to be lower in long-distance dispersers, but the authors could not exclude non-random dispersal (e.g. greater movements of low-quality individuals) as a potential explanation of this result [22].
It is still unclear how important long-distance dispersal is in our focal species, the pied flycatcher (Ficedula hypoleuca), but it has been suggested to be more common than usually thought [23]. Current data show that the migratory pied flycatcher does occasionally perform extensive natal dispersal [24], [25]. However, reports of natal dispersal over hundreds of kilometers are rare (but see [26]). Moreover, the low detection rate of such movements inhibits the study of fitness consequences of long-distance dispersal in this species under natural conditions.
Artificial translocation, and release of birds into a new breeding area, can be used to mimic long-distance dispersal. This is a common tool in conservation biology for the reintroduction of species [27], [28]. However, the immediate release of pied flycatchers at a distant site (250 km away) resulted in a high proportion of birds disappearing from this new location (>80%, [23]), therefore making it difficult to compare breeding performance of translocated and philopatric birds. In another study, pied flycatchers were translocated into a different habitat by gradually moving their nest box during nest building [29]. Only short distances (around 50 m in this case) can be covered with this technique though.
In this paper we present a new set-up which allows for the study of reproductive consequences of long-distance dispersal in free-ranging birds. In the presented pilot experiment, we captured pairs shortly after arrival at the breeding grounds and kept them as pair in a nest box-equipped aviary at a novel site for several days before releasing them again. We performed this pilot experiment during the breeding season of 2009 with the aim to evaluate the set-up for future experiments on long-distance dispersal. We tried to: (a) confirm, that translocated birds stay at the new location and breed there, and (b) estimate the impact of the set-up on the reproductive behaviour of the birds.
Non-systematic observations of captive birds revealed that most males soon started advertising the new box to their partner and most females were seen nest building before release. Of the nine translocated females, six started breeding in the new box they were assigned to, while three other females moved short distances (95, 110 and 155 m) to a different box to breed with a novel male. Of the eight males, four were recaptured at the nest of their aviary partner. One male moved (145 m) within the plot to another box and a second male returned to the place of capture (13 km) and bred there. The two remaining males (of which one was used twice) disappeared and were not recaptured. One of their females bred in the box of release, and the other moved to another box.
All three artificially formed pairs broke up after release, while four of the six original pairs stayed together. The likelihood to move away from the release site also was higher for birds that bred in the area of capture in the previous year (males and females, only one out of six stayed at the assigned box), while birds not breeding in the area before stayed more often at their assigned box (nine out of eleven birds). The time interval between female arrival at the original site and laying of the first egg at the new site significantly declined with date (F1,29 = 11.78, p<0.01) and was on average 9.7 (±1.3 S.D.) days (Fig. 1). The interval was significantly longer compared with unmanipulated females which commenced laying on average 5.6 (±1.2 S.D.) days after arrival (F1,30 = 73.04, p<0.001). Clutch size declined significantly with date (F1,31 = 17.77, p<0.001), but did not differ between translocated and control nests (F1,30 = 1.62, p = 0.21; translocated: n = 9, mean ± SD: 6.33±0.71, control: n = 24, mean ± SD: 6.63±0.88, Fig. 2). Mean fledging weight at age 12 days (translocated: 13.8±1.4 g, control: 14.6±1.0 g; mean±S.D.): and number of fledglings (translocated: 5.0±1.8, control: 5.5±1.8; mean ± S.D.) did not show large differences, but because of another experiment taking place after laying in the control group, sample sizes were very limited (six nests) and we therefore do not give the statistics here.
Interval between arrival date of females in the original breeding area and first egg date was used. Translocated nests: open circles and dashed regression lines. Control nests: filled circles and solid regression lines.
First egg date was used as laying date. For graphical reasons only, original data points were shifted 0.05 lower (control) or 0.05 higher (translocated) along the y-axis. Regression lines were calculated from original data.
In 2010, we recaptured four of the translocated males (50%) and one female (11%), all in their original area. Three of these males had successfully bred in the release area, as had the female. Interestingly, two of these males did not breed in the original site before the experiment, but did move back after successful breeding in the new site.
The translocation of pairs of pied flycatchers to a site 13 km of their original site, resulted in all nine translocated females to start breeding within the release plot, confirming that our translocation procedure is suitable for measuring effects of dispersal on reproductive output. Previous breeding experience seemed to affect a birds' decision to stay at the exact place of release. It is known that adult male pied flycatchers show relatively high site-fidelity to a previous breeding location [30], and therefore males with local breeding experience may return more often to their former breeding site. Using inexperienced first-year breeders will thus likely increase translocation success. Males seemed to be less prone to stay than females, but males could have been missed even if they stayed in the area and when their females moved away to breed in another nest box. Furthermore, males could have been affected more by interference with neighbouring males due to the short distances between boxes (<50 m in some cases). Familiarity with the partner seemed to increase the probability of the pair remaining together, which was not found for other species that were translocated [31]. The success of these experiments thus likely depends on the selection of individuals depending on their previous history.
The interval between arrival at the original site and egg laying was about four days longer compared to the control group. This was most likely caused by the translocation or the aviary phase. Therefore, when applying this set-up, it is important to use a control group of birds receiving the same treatment whilst being translocated randomly, for example within the original breeding area. In addition, our result also indicates that females did not use the 2–4 days of supplemental feeding to advance laying, which has been sometimes found in other food-supplementation experiments of longer duration [32]. Rather, egg laying started several days later than in control birds. The treatment caused no significant difference in clutch size between the groups, when controlling for date, suggesting that the performance of pairs after release was not severely affected by previous procedures but by the local environment experienced.
With our set-up we could solve two main methodological problems of studying consequences of dispersal, randomization and detectability of free-living individuals. The advantage of our approach is that birds breed in a natural environment, the choice of which is at the mercy of the experimenter. This makes observed differences in performance more meaningful and easier to interpret compared to experiments in captivity where ad libitum food and exclusion of predators might conceal many effects [33].
Our set-up could have many applications, not only for the study of long-distance dispersal. Correlative evidence suggests that under conditions of climate change it becomes increasingly doubtful if the habitat choice of species is still adaptive [34]. If preferences of species remain stable but environmental conditions change, the preferred habitats might even become ecological traps with serious consequences for populations and species. So far, experimental evidence on the existence of ecological traps is still scarce, especially for birds [35], [36].
Recently, translocations have been suggested as a conservation tool, especially to speed up local adaptation under conditions of climate change [37]. Our study shows that it is technically possible to improve the success of such translocations, although those generally also imply potentially serious, unforeseen risks for an ecosystem that require deliberate consideration. Other applications could be the investigation of consequences of mate choice or experiments manipulating the density of breeding pairs in a plot.
There are, however, species-specific limitations to the suitability of our approach. The aviary set-up is applied easily for small-sized species only, e.g. small passerine birds. Capture of pairs before breeding must be feasible as well. Individuals then need to become attached to the new spot, which is probably achieved best for cavity-nesting species, where birds experience the provided nest box as an indicator of a high-quality territory that should be defended [38]. To avoid competition with other territorial breeding birds, nearby breeding opportunities should be removed or blocked. Pied flycatchers are ideal in this respect, because they only defend a small area around the nest box. Sensitivity of birds to the translocation procedure has to be rather low, as handling effects might otherwise overrule experimental effects on breeding behaviour.
Overall, we conclude that this approach could become an important tool to the study of dispersal and more general for investigating effects of breeding environment on behaviour and reproductive success. A wide array of studies in (behavioural) ecology and evolution would benefit from the ability to remove the linkage between the birds' choice of breeding location and a trait under study, and the ability to force some desired breeding environment for individuals, all while allowing free-ranging, natural breeding.

Study Species and Experimental Procedure
Pied flycatchers are long-distance migratory passerines breeding in natural cavities and nest boxes in temperate forests across Europe. They are single-brooded and both parents participate in nestling care [30]. We caught 17 individuals (six pairs, plus three females and two males without their original partner) at our study site in Drenthe, the northern Netherlands, during the early nest-building stage in April and May 2009. Birds were then transported to another nest box area 13 km away. This area offered 100 nest boxes distributed over 0.3 km2. Six original pairs and three newly formed pairs (one male was used twice with two different females, after his first partner moved to another male) were released into outdoor aviaries built around a tree with a nest box. Dimensions of the aviaries were 2×2×2 m. Food (mealworms) and water were provided ad libitum on a feeding table, as well as nesting material and perches. The pairs were kept in the aviaries between two and four days and were subsequently released. To keep disturbance at a minimum we removed the netting on all sides of the aviaries, but left the structure in situ until the next day when it was removed. Nests were then monitored throughout the breeding season to collect data on laying date, clutch size, nestling weight and fledging success. The control group consisted of 23 nests, located at the site of release of the experimental birds, that remained unmanipulated until egg laying started. In 17 of these control nests eggs were collected daily after laying and replaced by dummy eggs for another experiment.

Dear Iris List,
I have come out of lurking to share my photo...of Thornbird with you.
I think it is really exquisite. there seems to be a slight silver frost to
the standards, along with beautiful burgundy cast to the horns.
and a creamy butterscotch cast over - all,. When I went out this morning
and saw it in the early morning light it was awsome. Hope you enjoy these
pictures.My wonderful husband took them for me. (Back to lurking) Yetta Loyd
