I started applying to jobs a few months ago and so far I've had zero luck in hearing back. I started going to the San Diego JavaScript Meetup and I'm getting involved. I'm surprised by how much I've learned yet how little I know. This group has been great though, and it has been introducing me to many topics that I know I'll need in order to find work. Now I'm learning React and how it creates a virtual DOM in order to allow for websites to refresh only the parts that have changed. The syntax with ES6 is taking a little getting used to but I can easily see how it is much better than the old fashioned way I had been doing it before. So, I'll keep on learning and I'll keep on working on putting more stuff on my resume until I find something, then, I'll continue doing the same.
Job application process begins
After years of education, I'm starting to apply to jobs. I know that right out of the gate I won't be commanding a high salary, and for now I'm OK with that. All I need to do is get my foot in the door somewhere and prove myself and everything else will grow from there. I'm excited to actually make this jump. It's a completely new career path and I'm looking forward to continuing to learn and to actually make a living doing something I would be working on in my spare time anyway.
I just joined LinkedIn a few minutes ago. There are a few reasons I waited so long to join. First, I didn't have a reason to. I wasn't looking for a job and didn't really see the point of having one more social network. Second, I was annoyed by how many invitations I received from any person I had ever sent an email to and that really turned me off to it. However, now that I'm looking for work in a completely new industry it makes a lot more sense.
If you're coming here from LinkedIn, this part of my site is a straight forward WordPress blog. The other sections are ones that I wrote. and provide a better representation of my work.
Completed Free Code Camp's Local Weather App
The "zipline" was pretty straight forward but it was a good introduction to using API's. I struggled with connecting my code to the Open weather map's API but after figuring out which functional call to use it was pretty easy. One more thing I struggled with was that I expected some of the data to return as a single string but one of the items was actually an Object that I didn't realize because the documentation didn't say anything about it. When I saw what was happening I ended up using a for … in loop with a key and it worked out fine. Lastly, its not very pretty, I think I ended up with these colors because of Easter but here it is.
March Review
I started working on Free Code Camp and I'm really enjoying it. The first few lessons were pretty easy and mostly review. I'm now making a small site that shows the local weather. Its actually been a little challenging. I had never known how to work with an API and although there is a bit of a learning curve I think I just pushed passed it. Setting it up and understanding how the message from the other site is received has been the toughest part and simply googling "How do I set up an API?" was the wrong question. I ended up using jQuery's $.getJSON method and it has worked well. I'll post a link to the codepen once I finish.
Month in review
I've been working steadily. I learned how to use version control (git) and I've been learning javascript and some jquery. It's tough working full time then to go home and work on learning programming. It's fun, and I always look forward to it but it can be draining.
I've been working on teamtapia.net for my cousin's business and using some of the javascript/jquery that I've learned. It's not the prettiest site but it responsive and although there are still some issues that I want to fix it is usable.
I'll be spending some time working on my resume so I can start applying soon, as much as I enjoy working with kids its time to move forward with this programming business.
Just because I'm not posting doesn't mean I'm not working
The past few weeks I've been quite busy with work. However, I am still making time for my own learning. I haven't updated my site bacause I've been busy learning javascript. It is so powerful that I'm really excited learning it.
I had originally tried learning some programming by watching youtube videos and attempting to piece it all together. I learned a lot of random things but had no way of connecting them all together. I found a website that took a bunch of material from the web and puts it all together fairly nicely. If you are interested it is:
Resume redirection now works
It turns out I did create my redirection correctly, the problem was that I didn't clear my browser cache. I realized it when I was checking the site on a different computer. It magically was working. Then I tried it on my main pc and it again did not work. I just cleared the cache and history and it worked without a hitch.
I just put up a basic resume. Right now its just a start. I didn't realize how long its been since I had updated it. I ended up deleting most of what I had and didn't include work history as it isn't relevant to computer science. I'll be working more stuff in and as well as updating the entries I've already made.
I added a link on the top bar. One issue I haven't figured out yet was the redirection. I want to redirect "resume.joshcruz.net" to "www.resume.joshcruz.net/resume.php". For some reason it isn't working and when I type in "resume.joshcruz.net" it takes me to google because it couldn't find it and sometimes it'll take me to "resume.com". The redirection works fine if I include "www." at the beginning. I'll figure it out soon enough.
Progress notes
So in the past weeks I've been working on the back-end. I rewrote some of the code for adding thumbnails which now I'm much happier. All of the small photos you see on the photography pages are thumbnails that are small and will load more quickly. The way it is set up now I still upload a thumbnail separately but the code is written to allow me to display a small version of the full res in case I don't have a thumbnail for it yet.
Recently I've been working on creating an online resume. I'm still coming up with how I want it to look and I'm having some issues with making both the resume section and the photography section match with the cs blog. One specific issue is with the font. There's so much to learn and do. Why am I writing about it instead of actually working on it?

Junkyard Cars 3
Junkyard Cars 3. I believe this to be an abandoned lot of cars that a forest has grown up around. Most of these have probobly been here for 30-40 years. I believe someone does own it but I heard that he's willing to sell- if you can get them out of the trees. Many of the older ones are pretty much unsalvageable, though. BTW: Located 3 miles up the road from New Boston, Il., which is by the Mississippi River.
Junkyard 71 Ford Custom Start attempt
Well all can say this about the most fun I ever had up in Wisconsin. I ended up frying the starter and didn't have enough time to find second one and swap it in before the sun set. Never got one pop out of it. Hopefully it will still be there next time I go up.
Junkyard Cars 5
These cars were well hidden; It was the silos that caught my eye. Strange to find a lot like this with no "NO TRESPASSING" signs or fences. Anyway, the cars don't exactly look salvagable, but they're cool to see. Idk if they're for sale or not but i just went out to this place again recently and the convertible, the white primered car, and the black 55 chevy (3:50-4:05) are all gone- so maybe they were sold?

My sister and brother-in-law wanted to get together the other night, so we decided to meet at Boylan Bridge Brewpub in Raleigh. They had taken a tour of the brewery a couple of weeks ago and were very impressed with their beer.
Boylan Bridge Brewpub is located in downtown, and has a really nice outdoor deck with a great view of the city. However the night we were there it was pretty cold, so we decided to eat inside. The menu is somewhat standard pub food: fish and chips, burgers, a few wraps, salad, etc.
We decided to start out the meal with an appetizer of onion rings. These were excellent onion rings. They had a nice coating of batter, but were not too bready. They were nice and crisp and crunchy with tender onions inside. They come on a wooden spool, most likely made in the wood shop that the owner has just below the pub. It reminded us of the children's toy of plastic round pieces on a spool.
For dinner, I had the black bean burger which came on a nice Kaiser roll, and had lettuce, tomato and onion on it. The bean burger was well seasoned and had good flavor to it. It was a bit mushy, but didn't fall apart. I enjoyed it and had a few additional onion rings with the order. To wash down the burger, I had the Transpotter Scottish Ale, which is one of their seasonal beers. It was a pretty light brown color, had a smooth taste and with just a little hint of hoppiness, which I enjoy. The beer is also one of the higher alcohol content beers, with 7% alcohol. Good thing I wasn't driving that night!
My husband had the fish and chips with some sweet potato fries. I tried a bite or two of the fish which was nice and flaky, lots of tender white meat to the fish and again, had a really great batter that gave it a nice crunch. Scott had the Endless Summer Ale, a night, light beer that is reminiscent of something like a Blue Moon.
My sister and brother-in-law split a Silver Star, which was a spicy chicken Philly sandwich. That had tomatoes, jalapenos, sautéed onions and provolone cheese. They said the sandwich was very good, and it was nice and spicy. They split an Endless Summer Ale, but said they should have each gotten a beer. Splitting the pint was just a bit too small for them.
On a nice spring or summer evening, Boylan Bridge is a great place to come have a few beers, enjoy the skyline and relax with friends.
Boylan Bridge Brewpub is located on 201 Bolyan Avenue in Raleigh. They are open from 4pm – 11pm Monday Thursday and from 11:30am – midnight on Friday and Saturday.

Human Rights in Global Perspective by Richard Ashby Wilson
Book DescriptionIn the West we frequently pay lip service to universal notions of human rights. But do we ever consider how these work in local contexts and across diverse cultural and ethical structures? Do human rights agendas address the problems many people face, or are they more often the imposition of Western values onto largely non-Western communities? Human Rights in a Global Perspective develops a social critique of rights agendas. It provides an understanding of how rights discussions and institutions can construct certain types of subjects such as victims and perpetrators, and certain types of act, such as common crimes and crimes against humanity. Using examples from the United States, Europe, India and South Africa, the authors restore the social dimension to rights processes and suggest some ethical alternatives to current practice.

We investigated the social organization of wild boars (Sus scrofa) using genetic and spatial data from a study population in Tuscany, Italy. In total, 120 wild boars of different sexes and age classes were captured and monitored from 2002 to 2006. All of them were genetically analyzed by using 10 polymorphic microsatellites (HE = 0.693, k = 6.6) and a matrix of pairwise relatedness was calculated. In addition, a reference sample of fully related individuals was created by genotyping 11 adult females and their fetuses (n = 56). Spatial data were gathered for 65 animals that had been fitted with either radiocollars or ear transmitters. Sixteen social units were identified by capture data and confirmed by observations and telemetry. A correlation between interindividual spatial distance and relatedness was observed only in summer–early autumn and seemed to be associated to the presence of piglets. The prediction of matrilinearity in wild boar social units was not confirmed, because a low degree of relatedness among boars was observed within groups. Aggregations of unrelated adult females (with their litters) were detected in the study population. The high turnover in the population due to human-caused mortality seems to be the main factor responsible for this altered social structure. Accordingly, we suggest that the observed social organization would result from grouping of unrelated survivors that is promoted by the presence of wolves in the area.
Gene dynamics within a population are strongly influenced by breeding system, social structure, and dispersal patterns (Apollonio and Hartl 1993; Chepko-Sade and Tang Halpin 1987; Storz 1999). Polygynous breeding and female philopatry are the rule in mammals, and a huge variation can be observed in their social structures, ranging from primarily solitary to highly social (Eisenberg and Kleiman 1983). Social systems also may differ from population to population, as a response to different ecological constraints and management practices (Lott 1991; Pope 1998). In any case, this variation has a profound impact on the genetic features of populations (Dobson 1998; Storz 1999). Conversely, the study of the genetic structure of a population at a fine scale can prove helpful in describing its social organization (Sugg et al. 1996). In particular, knowledge of genetic relationships among individuals in a population can disclose hidden social interactions that are important to fully understand the behavioral ecology of the species (e.g., nonkin-based cooperation—Blundell et al. 2004).
The application of molecular techniques provides a tool to establish kin relationships within a population, thus enabling evaluation of multiple hypotheses in relation to the spatial and social organization of the species under study. Examination of molecular data has revealed close spatial associations among kin in several mammal species including the Florida black bear (Ursus americanus floridanus—Moyer et al. 2006), raccoons (Procyon lotor—Ratnayeke et al. 2002), gray mouse lemurs (Microcebus murinus—Wimmer et al. 2002), and African lions (Panthera leo—Spong and Creel 2004). However, the hypothesis that relatedness influences spatial organization in mammals has not always been confirmed, such as in studies on snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus—Burton and Krebs 2003), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus—Comer et al. 2005), and bobcats (Lynx rufus—Janečka et al. 2006).
The wild boar (Sus scrofa) is an important wildlife species, in both economical and ecological terms. Its widespread recovery across Europe during the last 50 years has raised concerns about management of this species, which is considered a pest by some and a resource by others. Effective management strategies should take into account several aspects of this species' biology, its social behavior being one of the most important.
The social organization of wild boars is centered around philopatric adult females, which are facultative cooperative breeders. According to Briedermann (1986), the basic social unit is a matrilineal group, with 1 or more related adult females, and 1 or more cohorts of offspring. After weaning, most females stay with their mothers, and only about 20% of yearling females leave the natal group and disperse (Kaminski et al. 2005). Once yearling females have achieved the appropriate growth condition, they are likely to reproduce while still in the social group with their mother (Kaminski et al. 2005). However, genealogical relationships in female groups have been poorly investigated thus far and deviations from this commonly accepted scheme have been rarely documented (see Gabor et al. 1999).
Female wild boars typically maintain long-term fidelity to relatively small home ranges (Spitz and Janeau 1990), and a high percentage of adjacent females exhibit overlapping home ranges (Boitani et al. 1994). Accordingly, one would expect overlapping home ranges to reflect a common female lineage, and genetic relatedness should be inversely correlated with the spatial distance between individuals.
In comparison to other ungulates, wild boars are characterized by several peculiarities such as very high reproductive output (3–6 piglets per litter), early reproduction in females, and a weak mother–offspring bond (Carranza 1996; Cousse et al. 1994; Kaminski et al. 2005). These features obviously affect their social structure, influencing both the size and the composition of social groups, and the duration of interindividual associations. In addition, the organization of wild boar groups can vary temporally, with splitting into subgroups and merging of subgroups occurring frequently in a population (Gabor et al. 1999; Kaminski et al. 2005). Importantly, however, the role of demographic and extrinsic factors (e.g., hunting) possibly affecting both the composition and the stability of social groups has not been systematically investigated.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the nature of wild boar associations in relation to the genetic relatedness among individuals. We 1st verified the correlation between geographic and genetic distance among individuals in a population, and then considered the spatial behavior of social units in relation to their composition and the intragroup degree of relatedness. Specifically, we addressed the following questions: Is the geographic distance between individuals inversely correlated to their genetic relatedness? Is genetic relatedness higher for individuals belonging to the same social unit than for individuals belonging to different social units? Are all adult females in a social group close relatives (mother–offspring or full sisters)?
Materials and Methods
Study area.—The study was carried out in the Alpe di Catenaia, a 12,000-ha mountainous area along the Apennines in Tuscany, Italy (43°48′N, 11°49′E). The area includes a natural reserve (2,730 ha) and nearby zones that are open to hunting (Fig. 1). Elevation ranges from 490 to 1,414 m above sea level; the climate is temperate, with hot, dry summers, and cold, rainy winters. Most of the study area (85%) is covered by forests, whereas the remaining 15% consists of scrubland, cultivated areas, orchards, vineyards, olive groves, and human settlements. The only other wild ungulate species in the area is roe deer (Capreolus capreolus), and wolves (Canis lupus) are the only predator. Wild boars represented the staple prey item for wolves in this area (Mattioli et al. 1995, 2004), and a wolf pack of 5 or 6 individuals established its territory and maintained a presence in the area throughout the study period.
The wild boar is a game species that is intensively hunted in Tuscany. Outside the protected area of the natural reserve, wild boars are managed by local hunters. Drive hunts with dogs are conducted from September to January, when 300–900 animals are legally killed in the area each year.
Animal captures, radiotracking, and group definition.—This study was carried out from spring 2002 to winter 2005–2006. Wild boars were captured by cage traps baited with maize, except in February–March when they were captured using a vertical drop net. Cage traps allowed for the simultaneous capture of up to 9 individuals per capture event. We determined sex of captured animals and classified them into 1 of 3 age classes: piglets (from birth to about 12 months; hereinafter referred to as PGL), yearlings (12–24 months old; YRL), or adults (>24 months). Upon capture, individuals were blindfolded, fitted with ear tags (Allflex, Northfield, Minnesota), weighed, and measured, and age was determined by teeth eruption and wear patterns (Briedermann 1986). Zoletil (Virbac SAS, Carros Cedex, France; 10 ml/10 kg) was used to immobilize relatively large animals (≥35 kg). Hair samples for genetic analyses were collected and stored in plastic envelopes at −20°C. Sixty-five wild boars were radiocollared. Thirty-one animals (≥30 kg) were fitted with TXV-10 radiocollars (Televilt, Lindesberg, Sweden), whereas 24 animals (<30 kg) were fitted with TXP-R ear transmitters (Televilt). The procedures we used in this work conform to all relevant Italian wildlife and animal welfare legislation, and meet guidelines approved by the American Society of Mammalogists (Gannon et al. 2007).
We determined locations of radiocollared animals by triangulation from 3 different reference points (White and Garrott 1990). A minimum of 8 locations per animal per month (range 8–14 locations) was collected. Locations were distributed uniformly over the day (discontinuous telemetry—Swihart and Slade 1985), with consecutive positions separated by ≥12 h. We plotted all locations onto a 1:10,000 digital map of the study area. We estimated the accuracy of locations by locating test transmitters that had been placed in different habitats within the study area (Harris et al. 1990). Error for positions was in the range of ± 100 m for fair signals within the study area.
Genetic analysis.—One hundred twenty captured wild boars were analyzed from hair (n = 99) or tissue (n = 21) samples. The 21 tissue samples were obtained from marked animals killed by hunters, or found dead in the study area. We also analyzed tissue reference samples from 11 pregnant females killed during the hunting season and their fetuses (from 4 to 6 fetuses per female). Total genomic DNA was extracted using GenElute Mammalian Genomic DNA Miniprep kit (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, Missouri) for tissue samples and Instagene Matrix (Bio-Rad, Hercules, California) for hair samples, and kept at −20°C.
All individual animals were typed by a panel of 10 polymorphic microsatellites selected for the analysis: s090, s155, sw24, sw122, sw461, sw2021, sw2492, sw2496, sw2532, and IGF1 (details at http://www.thearkdb.org). Each polymerase chain reaction was performed in a 10-µl reaction volume, containing 3 µl of DNA solution, 0.5 U of Taq DNA polymerase (Euroclone, Siziano, Italy), 1× polymerase chain reaction buffer (Euroclone), 2.5 mM MgCl2, 100 µM of each deoxynucleosite triphosphate, and 2 pmol of each primer. The forward primer of each pair was labeled with an ABI fluorescent dye (6-FAM, HEX, or TET; Applied Biosystems, Foster City, California). The amplification profile was set up with an initial step of denaturation at 95°C for 3 min, followed by 35 cycles of 92°C for 45 s, annealing temperature (52–65°C) for 45 s, and 72°C for 30 s. A further extension step of 72°C for 10 min concluded the reaction. Polymerase chain reaction–amplified microsatellite alleles were sized using capillary electrophoresis in an ABI PRISM 3100-Avant automatic sequencer (Applied Biosystems). GeneMapper software (Applied Biosystems) was used to analyze electrophoretic data.
Data analysis.—The program Ranges 6 (Kenward et al. 2003) was used to estimate monthly home ranges based on the 95% minimum convex polygon method (Southwood 1966). Minimum convex polygon home range was preferred over the kernel method because of the limited number of fixes available for animals each month (Kernohan et al. 2001). However, in calculating home-range centroids from fix locations, the kernel method was preferred over alternative methods (harmonic or arithmetic mean), because this method incorporates information on the density of locations.
Individual wild boars were partitioned into social units according to capture data, which were subsequently confirmed by observations and telemetry. We assumed that individuals captured together in the same trap or moving together when caught in the nets were part of a social unit. We took into account only those associations that were confirmed by visual observations or telemetry data during the 1st month after the animals' capture. To confirm subsequent groupings, we evaluated the concurrence and the distribution of locations of each pair of individuals over 1 month. Accordingly, we assumed that 2 individual wild boars were associated in a social unit during a specific month when >50% of their locations during a 2-h time period were closer than 500 m. The occurrence and composition of each social unit was checked each month from July 2002 to February 2006. Individual locations and home-range overlaps were visualized in ArcView GIS 3.2 (ESRI, Redlands, California).
We evaluated the level of genetic variability of the population based on observed heterozygosity (HO) and expected heterozygosity (HE), which were estimated by GenAlEx 6 (Peakall and Smouse 2005). GENEPOP 3.2 (Raymond and Rousset 1995) was used to estimate the inbreeding coefficient (FIS; ranging between −1 and 1) and to test loci for Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium and linkage equilibrium. The sequential Bonferroni correction was applied to correct significance thresholds in case of multiple tests (Rice 1989).
We used GenAlEx to calculate a matrix of pairwise relatedness for all the sampled individuals in the population. As coefficient of relatedness, we chose the unbiased rxy statistics introduced by Queller and Goodnight (1989). Pairwise rxy values range from −1 to +1, with 0 indicating the relatedness in a random draw of alleles from the population. Theoretically, in a randomly mating population a relatedness value of 0.5 is expected for parent–offspring and full siblings. Actually, deviations from such expectation are common and this value may vary considerably (Queller and Goodnight 1989). The relatedness matrix was calculated for the data set including all available genotypes (n = 120). In addition, we obtained an empirical data set of fully related individuals (parent–offspring and full siblings) by genotyping 11 adult females killed during the hunting season, together with their fetuses (4–6 fetuses per female, n = 56). The distribution of rxy values of these "true" family groups (n = 163 comparisons) was used as reference.
Our a priori prediction was that the geographic distance between individuals in the population would be inversely proportional to their genetic distance, based on the idea that closely related animals would either belong to the same social unit or occupy home ranges in relatively closer proximity than more distantly related animals. We tested this hypothesis by estimating the correlation between pairwise relatedness values and spatial distances among monthly home-range centroids in our sample of radiotagged animals (n = 65). This analysis was restricted to the period April 2003–March 2005, because this was the time span during which we had a fairly large sample size. To account for the lack of independence among pairwise values, we performed a Mantel test for matrix correspondence in GenAlEx, testing significance of the correlation coefficient by 9,999 random permutations (Smouse et al. 1986), and applied Bonferroni correction. Because piglets typically move in close association with their mothers during their 1st year of life (Briedermann 1986), the inclusion of piglets in this analysis may obscure the effect of relatedness in the postweaning establishment of individual home ranges. Therefore, the Mantel test was repeated after removing from the matrix all comparisons that included piglets.
Moreover, we assessed the degree of relatedness between all the members of each social unit identified by field data. Accordingly, we classified each pairwise interaction over a monitored period into either "group" when the 2 individuals joined the same social unit for at least 1 month, or "nongroup" when the 2 individuals were never detected in the same social unit. We compared the 2 corresponding relatedness distributions between each other and to the reference sample, to evaluate the deviation from a state of full relatedness (i.e., from a theoretic rxy value of 0.5). Finally, we explored levels of relatedness within groups including adult females (FAD), by comparing PGL-FAD, YRL-FAD, and FAD-FAD associations with those within reference families (mothers + fetuses). Likewise, we evaluated the possible composition of groups of subadults by comparing the relatedness in YRL-YRL associations with those obtained for PGL-PGL, and for the reference true siblings (fetuses from the same female). Two-sample randomization tests (10,000 iterations) were used in PopTools 2.7.5 (Hood 2006) to test for differences between means. Descriptive statistics and graphs were performed using SPSS version 13.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, Illinois). Inferring kinship from relatedness coefficients can be misleading, because results can deviate from actual pedigree relationships (Blouin 2003; Csillery et al. 2006; Van Horn et al. 2008). Nonetheless, Van Horn et al. (2008) showed that the identification of unrelated dyads is poorly affected by errors, being the chance of misclassification higher at higher degrees of kinship. Accordingly, we used the program Kingroup 2 (Konovalov et al. 2004) to test the hypothesis of unrelatedness between pairs of adult females. The program uses a simulation routine to calculate a ratio between the likelihoods associated to 2 specific alternative hypotheses (e.g., unrelated versus full siblings). Using allele frequencies in the real population, Kingroup generates simulated distributions of rxy for each of the kinship categories corresponding to the null hypothesis (e.g., unrelated) and the primary hypothesis (e.g., full siblings). From these distributions, it calculates the confidence threshold of the likelihood ratio (i.e., the values needed to reject the null hypothesis). We considered that 2 females were unrelated when, for a given pair, the null hypothesis of unrelatedness could not be rejected, whereas the alternative hypothesis (i.e., mother–offspring, full siblings, and half siblings) could confidently be discarded.
Sample composition and spatial data.—We captured a total of 120 wild boars, 65 of which were fitted with radio-transmitters and radiotracked between 2002 and 2006. Sixteen social units were identified in our sample on the basis of capture and spatial associations. Mortality from hunting and poaching was high and caused 86% of the deaths of the study animals. Annual mortality amounted to 47% for adults, 75% for yearlings, and 48% for piglets (mortality in the first 2 months of life was not considered because very young piglets could not be radiotagged). Consequently, each single wild boar was monitored for an average of 8.6 months. In the 2-year period (April 2003– March 2005), the average number of monthly locations of each radiocollared individual was 8.3 ± 2.3 SD and a total of 4,546 radiolocations were obtained.
The composition of our sample in the 1st year (2003) differed markedly from that in the 2nd year (2004), especially in relation to the proportion of juveniles, which dropped from an average of 50% of the sample in 2003 to only 8% in 2004 (Fig. 2b). Because of this difference we treated the 2 years separately in the statistical analysis. Monthly home ranges differed between years as well, averaging 187.1 ha ± 209.6 SD in 2003 and 50.7 ± 65.1 ha in 2004 (Fig. 2c). Similarly, the mean overlap between home ranges was twice as high in 2003 compared to 2004 (30.0% versus 15.6%; Fig. 2d).
Genetic variation.—A total of 66 different alleles were found at the analyzed loci (minimum = 3 and maximum = 12 per locus, k = 6.6). Average HO and HE were similar, amounting to 0.688 and 0.693, respectively. The overall FIS in the population was very close to 0 (0.006). The population did not show any significant deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, both at single loci and overall (Fisher's method, P = 0.377), whereas linkage disequilibrium resulted only for 3 (out of 45) loci combinations (sw2532–sw2496, s090–sw2496, and sw122–sw2532). However, each of these markers was mapped in a different chromosome, so that physical linkage could be excluded. Accordingly, in the statistical analyses, we assumed that alleles at different loci were independent.
The coefficient of relatedness in our sample of 120 wild boars averaged −0.010 ± 0.209 SD. The reference sample represented by 11 adult females and their litters (fetuses) provided a mean relatedness of 0.599 ± 0.130 SD, slightly higher than the value of 0.5, which is theoretically expected for comparisons between 1st-degree relatives (parent–offspring and full siblings).
Relatedness, spatial patterns, and social units.—The correlation between spatial distance and genetic relatedness, as resulting from the Mantel test, fluctuated during the study period (Table 1), proving significantly negative only in summer and autumn (July–October) 2003. This could be related to the presence of piglets, given that no correlation was observed in 2004 when the sample composition was biased toward subadults and adults (Fig. 2). Moreover, the repetition of this analysis without piglets resulted in a complete lack of significance during the 2-year study period.

The hypothesis that individuals belonging to the same social unit were more related than nonassociated individuals was confirmed. The randomization test showed a significantly higher relatedness among individuals of the same social unit (P < 0.001), although the width of the range suggests that unrelated individuals can group together (Fig. 3a). In fact, intragroup comparisons differed from the reference sample (P < 0.001), thus suggesting a deviation from the full-relatedness hypothesis.
As regards the type of association within putative matrilineal social units, YRL-FAD associations showed the highest levels of relatedness, followed by PGL-FAD and FAD-FAD (Fig. 3b). The relatedness between adult females in a group was significantly lower than the relatedness observed in YRL-FAD (P = 0.017) and PGL-FAD (P = 0.026) associations, but each of them significantly differed from the distribution observed in the reference families (all P < 0.001). Similarly, pairs of yearlings (YRL-YRL) showed a low average level of relatedness when compared to PGL-PGL associations and to control sibling pairs (Fig. 3c), thus deviating from the expectation of sibship. The average relatedness of FAD-FAD dyads was 0.082 ± 0.155 (mean ± SD). The likelihood analysis with Kingroup allowed us to confidently exclude 5 of 9 pairs from being represented by close relatives (rxy ranging between −0.212 and 0.140). Indeed, for all of them, the null hypotheses of full siblings, half siblings, and parent–offspring could be rejected at a 95% confidence. Three unrelated pairs were found in association for <3 months (usually because of the death or signal loss of 1 female in the pair), whereas the other 2 dyads persisted for as long as 6 consecutive months.
Social organization can vary under different ecological conditions (Lott 1991), and the goal of this study was to combine genetic and radiotelemetry data for evaluating the social organization of wild boars based on estimates of genetic relatedness among individuals of the same and different social groups. Based on what was previously known for the behavior of wild boars, we expected social units in our study population to be composed of relatives, and that individual social units would have a higher chance of being surrounded by related than unrelated individuals. Because wild boars are social and only adult males are solitary, the overall spatial segregation among individuals can be predicted to correlate with genetic relatedness.
We observed a negative correlation between geographic distance (i.e., distance between home-range centroids) and genetic relatedness only in summer and early autumn, that is, during the period between parturition and weaning of juvenile wild boars. This also was the period when the social affinity in groups appears stronger (Kaminski et al. 2005), as observed in other suids (Byers 1983; Somers et al. 1995). A remarkable difference was observed between years. The correlation between distance and relatedness was statistically significant in the period July–October 2003 but not during year 2004. The most obvious explanation for the observed correlation in 2003 was that this pattern resulted from the higher number of piglets in social units during July–October, when they were strongly associated with their mothers. A very small number of piglets were included in our sample during 2004 (Fig. 2) because of low capture success. However, we cannot exclude other ecological factors (e.g., food availability, climate, etc.) from causing the observed difference between years.
The overall weak and temporally limited correlation between genetic and spatial distance does not fit a model of social structure where relatives tend to stay close even though they occasionally belong to different groups. A similar pattern was found in white-tailed deer (Comer et al. 2005), where the observed weak correlation between genetic relatedness and spatial association in females contradicted the "rose-petal" hypothesis of social organization in this species (Porter et al. 1991). Comer at al. (2005) considered this apparent contradiction as a possible effect of heavy harvesting, suggested by the altered age structure in the female population, that could have limited the occurrence of persistent and cohesive social groups. Hunting also could help explain the pattern observed in our study population, as suggested by the relatedness analyses within social units (see below). The wild boar population we studied was characterized by an overall high mortality rate, mostly due to hunting and poaching (86% of deaths in our sample). The resulting high turnover could have affected the distribution of genes in the population, accounting for the observed deviation from the expected pattern.
Individuals in a group were more related than individuals that were never found in association. This result agrees with the expectation of matrilineal social units, although the divergence from the reference families suggests that low-related or unrelated individuals also could be found in association. When we evaluated intragroup relatedness with respect to the age class of individuals, we obtained unexpected results. In particular, in 5 of 9 cases, adult females joining the same social unit were neither sisters, half sisters, nor mother–daughter. Furthermore, for each age class combination that we took into consideration, the range of relatedness values suggested the simultaneous presence of unrelated and fully related individuals. Thus, contrary to common expectation, associations of both unrelated adult females and unrelated yearlings appeared to be frequent in our study population. The higher level of relatedness shown by the YRL-FAD with respect to FAD-FAD dyads (Fig. 3b) suggested that the individuals remaining in association with adult females after the 1st year of age usually were their offspring. The high number of piglets in a group implied that multiple litters of different adult females often were associated. This could easily explain the low relatedness of PGL-FAD dyads when compared to the control mother–offspring groups.
The occurrence of nonkin associations within groups was reported for feral pigs in Texas (Emlen 1997; Gabor et al. 1999) but has never been demonstrated for European free-living wild boars. Temporal associations of unrelated individuals can be accounted for by the possible benefits deriving from group living, beyond the fitness consequences of kin-based cooperative behavior (Griffin and West 2002). For instance, herding represents an effective antipredator strategy, commonly adopted against cooperative-hunting predators (Hamilton 1971). Wolves are the most important natural predators of wild boars in Europe, where they basically select for young boars (Jedrzejewski et al. 2000; Mattioli et al. 1995). Grouping as an antipredator response to wolves is common in ungulates (Creel and Winnie 2005; Lingle 2001; Mech and Peterson 2003). Adult wild boars, because of their size and aggressiveness, are less vulnerable to wolf predation and are expected to have lower benefits from grouping than young individuals (Mech and Peterson 2003). This could be a key factor explaining the solitary life of adult males. On the contrary, adult females also have to warrant protection for their litter. When piglets are present, mothers will often react aggressively against predators (Heck and Raschke 1980), like other large-sized ungulate mothers (e.g., female moose [Alces alces—Stephenson and Van Ballenberghe 1995]). Reaction by adult females to a wolf attack can be more effective if they are in a group. Therefore, they might be urged by the presence of predators to join other females, regardless of kinship. This could well be the case in our study area, where a wolf pack was consistently present during the study and mainly relied on wild boars as a prey species (Apollonio and Mattioli 2006).
Human activities also are likely to influence the social structure of wild boars. Hunting was shown to affect both the social and spatial behaviour of wild boars, increasing social affinity (Kaminski et al. 2005) and inducing variation in home-range size, as well as temporary departures from traditional resting sites (Baubet et al. 1998; Maillard and Fournier 1995; Sodeikat and Pohlmeyer 2002). These effects are more evident when drive hunting is practiced, as revealed by a parallel study on spatial patterns of roe deer in the same area (Bongi et al. 2007). Furthermore, losses due to the high mortality rate modified the size and the composition of social units and, as a consequence, nonkin associations might have been formed so as to replace dead individuals and maintain the advantages of group living. This explanation would entail a high turnover and a dynamic composition of social units, where the loss of 1 or more relatives is compensated by the acceptance of unrelated individuals to the group or by merging of groups. These processes may be enhanced by the high proportion of females killed during the hunting season in the study area (in a bag of 2,648 kills, 31% were represented by subadult or adult females). In fact, unlike in other European countries (e.g., Germany), Italian legislation allows hunters to kill adult females leading groups.
In addition to the above-mentioned explanations, average similarity within a social unit also can be lower than expected because of multiple paternity. Indeed, when piglets in a litter have different fathers (i.e., they are half siblings), the overall intralitter relatedness will be lower than when they are full siblings (i.e., a single father). The effect can be more pronounced when it involves different cohorts within the same social unit. Although observations of adult females breeding with several males are poorly documented (Barrett 1978), in a recent study Delgado et al. (2008) confirmed that this phenomenon may occur at low frequencies, detecting limited signs of multiple paternity in a wild boar population in Portugal.
To summarize, our results suggest that interactions between kin do not play an exclusive role in wild boar sociality. The matrilineal structure of social units in this species may thus exhibit exceptions under certain conditions. In our study area, the weak correlation between genetic relatedness and spatial distance, and the occurrence of unrelated adult females within a group, suggest a frequent deviation from matrilinearity. We believe that rearrangements of wild boar social groups were likely due to the combination of high human-caused mortality, and constant exposure to predation risk.
Further studies are warranted to investigate the temporal and spatial dynamics of nonkin associations, their occurrence under different conditions (e.g., hunting versus nonhunting areas), and the role of predators as a driving force in promoting group formation in wild boars. Finally, the presence of unrelated individual wild boars in a social unit opens a series of questions regarding the possible fitness benefits associated with cooperative breeding in this species.
We thank E. Donaggio, N. Cappai, A. Viviani, R. Tognini, M. Derudas, V. Mariano, and P. Lamberti for their effort in field activities, and many local hunters from wild boar hunting teams and from the Unione Regionale Cacciatori dell'Appennino association, students, and volunteers for their assistance in capturing and monitoring wild boars. We also are thankful to S. Ciuti and S. Luccarini for advice and suggestions during the study. We thank the Regione Toscana (P. Banti), the Provincia of Arezzo (G. Chianucci, P. Pedone, and L. Mattioli), and the Ministero dell'Università for logistic and financial support. Finally, we are grateful to A. Binelli, who kindly revised linguistic style, and to R. A. Sweitzer and an anonymous reviewer for their contribution in improving a preliminary draft of the manuscript. LI benefited from a fellowship sponsored by Sardinia Resorts s.r.l.

Champagne Sabering Comes to Queens
If you're looking for a pre-M. Wells Steakhouse drink destination - or have an hour to kill because you forgot to call ahead - check out The Baroness Bar. Even more impressive than their list of high-end wine and champagne?The fact bottles are opened the old fashioned way, by saber, which means you may want to pack a poncho just in case you're all dressed up. The practice is a fixture, just as long as you are willing to shell out for a bottle of bubbles (from $60 to $96). A small selection of craft beer bottles and drafts from breweries like Long Trail and Magic Hat are also listed if you prefer a more economical night out, as brews range from six to eight bucks. If you're firmly entrenched after a drink or two, there's also charcuterie, flatbreads, and a selection of cheeses courtesy of Murray's Cheese Shop. Flatbreads feature creative toppings and names, like the Granny Smith (brie cheese, apple preserve, and ham) and Fidel Castro (Tasso ham, Manchego cheese, spicy mustard aioli and pickles). We're not sure how the flatbread is cut, but we're pretty sure it's acceptable to use a knife and fork if necessary since we're sure that's what a baroness would do.

The shares, in often busy trading, lost 18p to 663p, with NatWest Securities talking about the end of the Zeneca honeymoon.
The Zeneca split was, in effect, finally achieved on Tuesday when the drug group's pounds 1.3bn cash call was completed with an 85 per cent take-up.
During the float ICI managed comfortably to outperform its offspring with many taking the view it was better to stick with the rump of the business rather than be enticed by the attractions of the newly freed drugs side.
But the story has changed as Zeneca celebrated its freedom with modest progress and ICI fell 38p.
Today Sir Denys Henderson, ICI chairman, is due to address shareholders at their annual meeting. He is expected to strike an exceedingly cautious note.
NatWest believes shares of the shrunken group are a sell. 'Confidence in the US recovery has largely evaporated; Continental Europe is a disaster, the UK domestic recovery is muted,' it says.
This year profits are forecast at pounds 230m with pounds 380m likely next year. NatWest talks about pounds 1bn in 1997 but suggests any possible upside is fully reflected by the shares.
NatWest was not the only investment house to adopt a more bearish approach. Kleinwort Benson said 'sell' and the US group PaineWebber, which has been bullish on ICI, sharply reduced its profit forecasts. SG Warburg, behind the Zeneca float, denied stock market stories that it had downgraded.
The rest of the market had a lacklustre time, with the FT-SE 100 index falling six points to 2,894.7 in moderate trading. Drug shares were again disturbed by US influences; US selling of oil shares was another bearish factor, pushing, for example, British Petroleum down 7p to 304.5p.
Besides US apathy Glaxo Holdings had to contend with James Capel taking the knife to its profit forecasts. The stockbroker is thought to have cut current year's expectations from pounds 1.92bn to pounds 1.88bn. For the year ended in June about pounds 1.65bn is expected. Glaxo fell 6p to 573p.
Kingfisher, strong on Wednesday as Hoare Govett suggested its French operations could be performing ahead of expectations, was hit by Societe Generale Strauss Turnbull advising a switch into Boots, up 7.5p to 444.5p. Kingfisher lost 9p to 604p.
Smith New Court, the securities group, jumped 35p to 285p on the much better-than-expected profits and cash call. The stockbroker BWD Securities, with figures soon, advanced 11p to 96p in sympathy.
TI Group edged forward 4p to 340p on its French link-up and the paper group Arjo Wiggins Appleton fell 6p to 184p as the house broker, UBS Securities, downgraded.
Holiday shares were ruffled by the Whitehall inquiry into the packaged holiday industry. Airtours fell 15p to 324p. Interim figures, due on Monday, are expected to be accompanied by details of the acquisition of the family-owned Aspro holidays group. Airtours, which this month paid pounds 25m for the Hogg Robinson travel shops, tried unsuccessfully to take over Owners Abroad earlier this year. Owners fell 4p to 97p.
British Land slipped 4p to 319p. Its cash call attracted a 95.96 per cent take-up. SG Warburg placed the rump at 318p.
Lucas Industries' well-signalled analysts' meeting - the second this month - left the shares unchanged at 136.5p as the rumoured profit and dividend warnings failed to materialise.
British Aerospace was lowered 9p to 399p as worries surfaced about Taiwan's ability to raise the cash for the joint venture for short-haul jets. The pipe layer AH Ball tumbled 22p to 53p following halved profits.
Among smaller oil groups Aminex rose 3p to 30.5p in response to its plans to develop in the former Soviet Union and Pict Petroleum rose 7p to 122p following a North Sea gas find.
Anagen, a medical instrument group, demonstrated that not all new issues are wildly received. The shares, placed at 100p, quickly rose to 107p. But by the close they had relapsed to 91p.
British Dredging held at 115p as Redbird Holdings, a Panamanian company, said it had acquired 185,000 shares, lifting its stake to 5.06 per cent.
The department store group James Beattie shaded 1p to 143p. The stockbroker Harris Allday Lea & Brooks expects interim profits to be down by one-third to pounds 1.2m and has cut its year's forecast to pounds 6.3m. Last year's figure was pounds 6.83m.
In quiet trading the FT-SE 100 index fell six points to 2,894.7 and the FT-SE 250 edged forward 0.2 to 3,215.7. Turnover was 517.2 million with 25,354 bargains. The account ends on 2 July with settlement on 12 July. Lower interest rate hopes lifted government stocks.
Harmony, a loss-making pubs chain being reshaped into a property group, has a fascinating new shareholder - Multitrust, an ambitious group headed by Andrew Perloff. It has built a 4.39 per cent stake. In the past Mr Perloff has made his presence felt at Etonbrook Properties and Children's Medial (now Crabtree Holdings). Harmony shares edged forward 0.25p to 7p.
Shares of Rothmans International and Dunhill Holdings, surprisingly suspended on Wednesday, are likely to be requoted soon - possibly today. It was suggested that full details of the complex luxury goods and tobacco split have been completed and were ready to be released. In a few minutes of frantic trading as the market closed on Tuesday Rothmans surged 55p to 720p and Dunhill 62p to 405p.
Desmond Bloom, former guitarist for Screaming Lord Sutch, has started transforming Vizcaya Holdings, owner of a mothballed zinc mine in Spain, into a property group. Vizcaya is paying pounds 3.47m for properties with a yearly rental income of pounds 3.8m. The deal includes placings and a rights issue. The shares were suspended in April. Mr Bloom, formerly head of Dwyer, took over in December.

Scope-of-Practice Regulation: Physician Control and the Wages of Non-Physician Health-Care Professionals
We analyze the impact of licensing statutes that limit physician control over non-physician health-care providers. Contrary to the standard "capture" theory of regulation, we find that physical therapists have devoted considerable effort to obtain passage of laws that ultimately result in lower wages. This seemingly perverse result is robust across different data sets and various specifications. There is limited evidence to suggest that some physical therapists who treat patients without a physician's referral benefit at the expense of other therapists. However, it seems that non-monetary rewards associated with professional independence are the primary benefit to therapists from elimination of physician control.

Go to the site called Health Grades. See that they had only a one star rating. See they were among the worst in the area apparently. Go to the site for the American Alliance of Health care providers and see how the hospital award system works. See the hospital pays an "application fee" to "apply" for awards. Note that it can all be done by paying money and filling out an "extensive application" in 6 areas and it has nothing to do with patient health outcomes but is customer service and communication stuff.So they are the National Hospital of the year in what again? Health care? No. It is sad but true though that people might easily believe it must be in health care. Do you think the hospital execs know that some people might assume the awards from AAHP are for actual good health outcomes for patients? Lets hope not. I'm sure they make it clear they are not awards for that.They have only just begun to improve from a mortality rate that was higher than expected and higher than its peers according to Health Grades and you can read that for yourself there.You can thank Walter May and the cardiac service line director for bringing in a team to work with them to reduce mortality and improve a lot.Health grades says there was a reduction in cardiac bypass surgery mortality to 0% in six months.. That was dated January 2010. Glad they fixed it.Hope it stays fixed. Glad no one I know had to go there before then. Hope they quit going for "awards" they have to pay an "application fee"for to apply and that they soon get awards that are health outcome related.
#24 Oct 23, 2010
Understand that there is a selection process by AAHC after a hospital pays its money for the ap fee. Quarterly out of 400 hospitals 100 are selected as winners or something like that. Its on their site. Then there is the big yearly winner which PMC was and is so very proud of. Still it would make some people happier to get an award that there is no application fee required for and that is health outcome related.Something like the least in hospital infections or the longest survival rates post surgery or something health related anyway. Do they have any of those kind of awards from anywhere lately? Hmmmm? If not, hopefully they will as time goes on.

As for the person who said something about a woman being turned away and not being allowed to even plug in oxygen--it is a fact that no one can be turned away from PMC, something about what they agreed when they first opened. Which is why the hospital gets stuck with some of the same patients, for months at a time...we are the only hospital from Lexington to here--and more around the vicninity of these areas--that cannot refuse to treat a patient.
As for the person who stated they give morphine to everyone that walks in with pain. Totally untrue, and I'm sure if we give it enough time someone will complain they were looked at as someone seeking drugs and could'nt get anything for pain. You can't please people..at all.
And for the band-aid station comment--come up with something a little more unique. People get tired of hearing that. PMC may not be the best in the world but many life-saving operations and procedures have been performed. Just get a tally on how many people are coded and rapid responsed in a month. Those people probably don't believe they are at a band-aid station.

Ok, Lets try to set this straight. It seem like everyone is missing what this one is for. It isnt about live saving care. It isnt about new and exotic ways of treating someone in there for care. This one is for it being named one of the best places to work. Many other companies and hospitals took part in this. Every employee filled out a survey on how they like their job. The survey was a standarized form that gets mailed from the employee straight to the auditors, bypassing the hospital all together. So no one can say they changed anything before they was mailed in. The questions on the survey was some as follows...
This organization provided as much initial training as i needed.
My company clearly tells me what is expected for advancement.
I trust if I do good work, my company may consider me for a promotion
I am satisfied with the amount of cacation pay.
Those are just a few. The employees supposed to fill in a dot under either "disagree strongly", "disagree somewhat", "neutral", "agree somewhat", or "agree strongly". This award was givin to the hospital based on the employees being happy with working there, no other reason, so what does any of these posts really have to do with it?
It seems like no matter what any award is for, people like to badmouth. Even if they dont know what they are badmouthing about.
#28 Oct 24, 2010
The lastest radio ad, with with Juanita and Walter is the funniest thing that I have ever heard.
It is sooooooo funny. A fourth grader could be more original.
Who are they trying to convince. Please stop it. Everyone is laughing, that is the cheesiest ad I have ever heard.

Forget accolades, we want our bonus and raises...
#30 Oct 25, 2010
they might have been named top 10 in the places to die
#31 Oct 25, 2010
they sure as hell didnt give me morphine, i laid down there in writhing screaming pain from 10pm until nearly 2 am and they gave me a shot of toradol and some motrin to take home with me and that was that, took an xray which the doc had already told me would be of no use, but it got some fast cash from my insurance im sure, and i still had to go to my doctor to get a order for an mri, so no they dont give morphine, maybe if i had said i had a toothache and not that i had ripped a tendon out of my knee, hmmmm, coulda been better off at home with some baby aspirin

What does this have anything to do with the hospital awards?

And once again, see if you can understand it this time. This award you all are talking about has NOTHING to do with patient care, nothing to do with any type of ratings or anything. It goes on employee satisfaction with their jobs. So unless any of you out there can speak for either every employee or at least the majority of them. How come you all are questioning this?
#37 Oct 27, 2010
it is no worse than any other place in the country, im sure they are nominating themselves for every award and accolade available,
#38 Nov 7, 2010
Once again walter has found a place that will give him a award go check out modern health care all you have to do is put your name in because i never heard of the other places that won best place to work
oh maybe it is because i dont know the good places are more worried about helping people than patting themselves on the back

pmc is the worst hospital ever i worked there for three years and hated it they treat u like shit and dont think twice about it. i bet most of the employees there feel the same and to them im sure its not the best place to work yea the insurence is good but thats about it. most the ppl i worked with only stay for that reason. but even now thats gone downhill i mean come on the damn er is not ever considered part of the hospital so therefore u still have to pay for that. that hospital kills patients every year but because they find ways around it its ok. i worked there and took my child in to the er because he was sick and they send him home with shit only to find that his condition was life threating and could have killed him at two years old had i not taken him to his doctor the next day and they want us to pay for that shit. well i refused. then in december of 2009 they killed my grandmother and they are yet to pay for that. her hospital bills were 200,000 dollars and for what her life come on u claim to be the best then act like it shop killing ppl and start helping.

If you want a really good staph infection, then have back surgery at PMC. I know of 6 cases including my wife's within the last year. Actually, my wife ended up with 5 surgeries in 3 months, then the wound had to heal from the inside out and then a wound vac for 6 weeks. All because someone picked their nose during surgery or didn't wash their hands of something. Although there are some good doctors and employees at PMC, as a whole I would avoid it. There are other hospitals in our region, and Lexington is only a couple hours away.

We are heading towards green power
Sustainability has always been an integrated part of ANDRITZ's corporate policy. It is reflected in the daily work of each ANDRITZ employee as well as in the management principles and business relationships implemented within the Group.
The principles of sustained development – meeting the needs of today's generation without restricting the opportunities of future generations – form a core element of the ANDRITZ corporate policy. We believe that only companies that do business in a socially sustainable and responsible way can be active in the market on a long-term, successful basis.
Therefore, sustainability is a crucial success factor for ANDRITZ that also contributes to increasing the value of the organization in the long term. ANDRITZ strives constantly to improve its performance in the areas of economic, ecological, and social sustainability. An important part of these efforts is the publication of the sustainability report, which is based on the world's leading CSR standard issued by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The following topics form the main content of the ANDRITZ sustainability report:

search through twitter RTs for # of followers
This project was successfully completed by CWizKid for $50 USD in a day.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$30 - $250 USD
Completed In1 day

Project Description
I have two twitter accounts. Account #1 with 5000 RTs. And account #2 where I have so far retweeted those RTs from account #1 where the original poster has over 4000 followers. I lost patience though. And I'm sure there is some smarter way to do it. So my question:
I can give you both passwords if you need them (I imagine you would only need the password for account #2, though, right?), and I would then ask you to
1) Search through the 5000 RTs from account #1, and determine which tweeter of those RTs has over 4000 followers
2) Follow that tweeter (is that a word?) from within account #2, and RT him on that account, too.
I kind of need this done by Tuesday night (PST). So it would have to be someone who could get on this soon.
What would be a price?
And please let me know how you would go about doing this.
Many thanks,
