GSA Moving Ahead on Next Generation of Government Card Services
December 31, 1996
Contact: Hap Connors
Partnership with Agency Customers, Industry will Create Next Generation of Government Fleet, Travel and Purchases Cards
WASHINGTON, D.C.--The challenge of electronic government will make for exciting times in the next generation of the federal government's card-based systems, according to David J. Barram, acting Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration.
On December 19, 1996, GSA issued a draft statement of work (SOW) for card-based services to further simplify government purchases of more than $6 billion a year of travel, supplies and fleet services. It also includes a proposal that reflects an integrated solution similar to a "smart card."
The draft incorporates the findings of focus groups and forums with federal agencies and industry representatives earlier this year to identify agency requirements and determine the availability of technology in the industry. GSA added the requirement of an integrated solution for fleet management, travel and purchase services to create a singular, streamlined environment.
Barram said, "Our goal is to create a migration path for the progression from paper based to electronic systems. There is a sound business case for industry participation and competition in providing commercial services along this path."
Card-based systems are playing an integral role in streamlining government processes. The availability of the enhanced technologies made available under these systems is providing the federal government with tools that not only streamline processes, but also improve accountability and tracking of transactions.
Currently, there are over 1.6 million cards in use under the three business lines. During FY96 the card volume was over $6 billion. Growth potential of these card based systems is considered to be substantial over the life of the next generation of contracts.
The GSA has invited federal agency and industry comments on the draft SOW and the proposed acquisition strategy. The comments are due by February 12, 1997. The draft SOW can be downloaded from the World Wide Web at http://pub.fss.gsa.gov/fm/future/index.html.
Comments may be electronically transmitted to: firstname.lastname@example.com or mailed to her at the Services Acquisition Center (FCXC), Federal Supply Service, Washington, DC 20406

Evolution Hoax
The entire list
Kıbrıs Ada TV, August 1-2008
Adnan Oktar: If you could see, you would not be able to recognize the Turkey of the future. In the true sense of the word, it wıll be the super state of the region. As a consequence, Israel will be saved, Armenia will be relieved and so will Palestine. Israel will attain unprecedented peace and security. The Palestine problem will be radically resolved. TURKEY İS THE KEY POINT TO ALL THIS AND THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEMAND. In other words, Iraq demands it; Iraq demands to unite with Turkey. So does Syria; it wants to unite with Turkey and it demands the administration of Turkey. But of course states will be separate. They want Turkey to take the lead as a spiritual leader.

Help and Support
The Effective Health Care Program produces three primary products:
- Research reviews: These comprehensive reports draw on completed scientific studies to make head-to-head comparisons of different health care interventions. They also show where more research is needed.
There are two types of research reviews:
- Comparative effectiveness and effectiveness reviews outline the effectiveness – or benefits and harms – of treatment options.
- Technical briefs explain what is known – and what is not known – about new or emerging health care tests or treatments.
- Original research reports: These reports are based on clinical research and studies that use health care databases and other scientific resources and approaches to explore practical questions about the effectiveness – or benefits and harms – of treatments.
- Research summaries: These short, plain-language documents – tailored to clinicians, consumers, or policymakers – summarize research review findings on the benefits and harms of different treatment options. Consumer research summaries provide useful background on health conditions. Clinician and policymaker resarch summaries rate the strength of evidence behind a report's conclusions. The resarch summaries on medications also contain basic wholesale price information.
Consumer Research Summaries
Research reports are written as scientific documents that are often difficult for many consumers, patients, and caregivers to read and understand. Because of this, the Effective Health Care Program has created consumer research summaries that provide you with the information in an easy-to-read format. These summaries are a tool to help you understand your condition and the choices that are available to you. The summary will tell you the evidence that exists about the benefits and risks for each choice. The summary will also tell you the evidence of other important things to consider when making a treatment decision, such as other conditions you may have or other medicines you may be taking. With this information, you can communicate with your clinician about the various choices and together come up with the right option for you.
There are also products that offer summaries for clinicians and health policymakers.
Finding Research Summaries:
You can find comparative effectiveness research findings related to your condition or interest in a variety of ways.
The "Search for Research Summaries, Reviews, and Reports" page does the searching for you.
On the "Search for Research Summaries, Reviews, and Reports" page, you will see a search bar to help you navigate through the different types of research summaries and reports available. You may search by keyword, health condition, or type of research. Below is a picture of how the search bar will appear.
Search by keyword
One way to find the resarch summaries or reports you're interested in is to search by keyword. Simply enter the keyword which best describes the kind of summary or report you are looking for and hit "Search," as indicated in the picture below.
Search by health condition
Another way to find the summaries you are looking for is to search by health condition. Simply click the arrow on the "Search by Health Condition" drop-down menu and select the health condition which best relates to the types of summary you are looking for. You may also choose a sub-category to further narrow your search.
Is this what I'm looking for? Topic Overviews tell you quickly
Once you have identified the type of research you would like to search for, the simplest way to find the guides you're looking for is by reading the topic overview of the products. These overviews provide a brief summary of the research. To view the overview for a product, roll over the title of the topic you are interested in with your mouse. When you hover the mouse over the title of the topic you are interested in learning more about, the topic overview should pop up as indicated in the picture below.
Using Comparative Effectiveness Research
- You can use the summaries as a way of understanding the condition.
- You can use the summaries as a way to help you better think through some of the important issues about testing or treating a health condition, such as the benefits and possible risks for each testing or treatment option.
- Patients can also use the summaries as a tool to help guide the conversation with their clinician about possible treatment or test options for a specific condition. The summaries will offer you questions to ask your clinician and things that you need to tell your clinician when you are choosing a test, treatment, or procedure for your health condition.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: WND's Corsi Tells "Democrat" Pat Caddell, "I Admire You"
Blog ››› ››› MIKE BURNS
At CPAC today, Fox News "Democrat" Pat Caddell, along with his Republican colleague at SecureAmericaNow.com, John McLaughlin, was featured in a panel discussion on "Public Attitudes Toward Security."
Caddell, who regularly appears on Fox News as a "Democratic strategist" to accuse the Obama administration of leaning too far to the left, has opposed almost every Democratic and progressive position in recent years. On almost every issue, Caddell's rhetoric matches the rhetoric of conservatives and Republicans.
Shortly after the panel discussion, I approached Caddell to ask about whether he thinks it is fair for Fox to host him as a "Democratic" strategist supposedly giving the Democrat perspective considering that he seems to always agree with Republicans.
"No, I don't always agree with them," he told me. "The answer is they have this model, and I really don't fit the model. I'm still a Democrat." He added: "The answer is, but I don't speak for anyone... but I just talk for my own."
When I pointed out that he urged President Obama not to seek re-election and argued against health care reform Caddell became visibly upset. "No! I'm taking stances -- don't say that!" he said.
"My position on health care is different. My position is to not jam down the throats of the American people, it's a crime against democracy," Caddell said. "I don't know any Republican that talks like that, all they want to talk about is whatever they talk about government takeover talk."
Caddell then went on to say, "They -- my problem is the political class of both parties. So, the fact that I didn't end up in that place on health care doesn't mean I come from where they come from."
While Caddell may not think his positions align with the Republican Party, apparently his work is popular among the far-right fringe.
At the conclusion of our conversation, Caddell was approached by WorldNetDaily's Jerome Corsi, a discredited birther who has appeared on a "pro-White" radio show and promoted lunatic conspiracy theories about global government.
Corsi told Caddell, "I admire you, I see you on TV all the time. I think you're an honest man." He added, "I mean, besides being a Democrat, you're honest." Caddell responded, "Well, thank you so much."
It's not surprising that someone as far-right as Corsi would gush praise at Caddell. In addition to regularly attacking the Obama administration and Democratic-supported legislation, Caddell has claimed that the goal of environmentalism is to "deconstruct capitalism" and attacked union members as "thugs."
This is far from the first time the allegedly "Democratic" Caddell has been featured at events hosted by far-right activists. In November 2010, Caddell was featured at Restoration Weekend, the conservative retreat organized by right-wing nut David Horowitz.

There is no doubt in saying that 'play' is an essential part of a child's life that helps in their overall development. Through play, children can trigger thinking, imagination and creativity. They engage their senses in learning new skills, which them grow their minds.
Hence, 'play' clearly comes out to be a vital piece to the growth and development of any child. For the right growth of children, selecting the right toys that promote constructive play can be very challenging for parents. Searching the perfect toys for their special kids is difficult. While you are shopping for toys this holiday season, it is important to keep in mind the age, cognitive development and gender of your child.
This holiday season, go for children toys and games that encourage constructive play, help in imagination, and evoke creativity. There are websites and blogs where you can find a number of reviews on various toys. Reading reviews online – there are plenty of them – will help you find the right toys for your children.
It can be difficult to shop for your child at the holidays if you don't have an idea of what you're looking for. Going out into the cold weather or fighting all the other parents at the busy toy store only adds to the stress of holiday shopping. A great way to shop at the holidays is online.
This becomes easier as you are shopping from one convenient location without much effort. You simply need to look for information related to toys that can be useful for your child's mental growth.
So, shopping online can make the holiday season much more enjoyable and hence, less stressful than going out and fighting through the crowd to get that one best toy best suitable for your kid.
Here are some gift ideas (if your child doesn't already have) that stimulate growth and creativity:
- Action Figures
- Arts and Crafts
- Baby Toys
- Dolls
- Bikes
- Skates
- Construction Toys
- Plush Toys
- Dress-up Toys
Laser Pegs has a GREAT web store for easy online shopping and a wide variety of kits to choose from. There are kits for every budget. http://Shop.LaserPegs.com
The holidays are hectic so do yourself a favor, shop smart to save time, money and get assured that you are buying the most suitable toys for your kids that come from a reputable source.
Christmas will come fast so if you haven't started – you better hop to it!
Travelling this holiday season? Laser Pegs make excellent travel toys. Recommended is the Dragon 1070 kit,which include a SD Lite Board that has a case to store all your pegs. Plus – Laser Pegs are fun at any age so the cousins will love sharing! And all the kits work with batteries, so you won't need to plug it in while you're travelling.
Interactive toys that stimulate the brain are great for long trips. Laser Pegs always seem to keep the kids entertained for hours. Other forms of these noggin-focused activities are puzzles and books, coloring pictures, songs and music.
Following are the points that parents must remember while shopping toys for a holiday purpose:
1. Reading the labels: Every toy or game has a suggested age range listed. Parents are advised to read the labels before purchasing the toy for their kid.
2. Beware of choking toys: Parents must check and ensure that there are choking labels on the toy purchased. It is vital, since choking is the most common cause of toy-related deaths. Hence, avoid toys or games that come with small detachable parts.
3. Take a look: It is advisable to take the toy or game out of the box and check for safety options. Make sure that nothing in the toy can be broken off or easily removed, including small clothing pieces and accessories. Also, make sure that there are no pointed edges in any toy which might harm your child.
4. Avoid balloons and balls: Although balls and balloons are adored by children but should be kept away from children under the age of four. This is because of the fact that such elements is popped your child could ingest the materials and poses a choking hazard.
5. Check for your child's safety: Make sure your child is not allergic to paint plastic toys. If you find rashes around the mouth, hands or eyes after the child plays with a certain toy, then better not buying the same for a journey.
6. Check for toy recalls. Keep a check for toy that you buy, on a regular basis to be sure that your child's toys are safe.
Just use common sense. You know your child better than anyone. Keep the holiday fun and safe for children by following these guidelines. Brands may change, but safety of your child is even more important than his fun. Planning a safe, healthy and happy holiday with your kids is what worth a true holiday.

DeCelle Memorial Relay Saturday
June 8, 2012
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The 48th DeCelle Memorial Lake Tahoe Relay will be held Saturday, June 9, featuring 117 teams in the oldest distance relay in the country according to race director, April Carter, in a press release.
The relay started in 1964 when Skip Houk of Reno and his friends decided to race around the Lake while training for the Olympic Trials at Echo Summit. It was then officially sanctioned by the AAU and taken over by the DeCelle family who continues to organize this event. In 1971 Capt. Robert DeCelle II was hit by enemy fire while trying to protect troops on the ground in Vietnam, eventually succumbing to his wounds a week later. The race was then changed to the DeCelle Memorial Lake Tahoe Relay.
Racers will line up at 7 a.m. at the junction of Highway 89 and Highway 50, better known as the "Y." Each team consists of seven runners, each covering 10 miles.
Chico State had won five consecutive years until BYU won by 14 minutes last year in a time of 6:39:49. BYU will not be participating this year since they qualified for the NCAA finals the same weekend. Teams from Oregon, Utah, California and Nevada will be running. The race record is held by the Stereoscope Loafers out of Reno, who ran a time of 6:16:28.
McFarland High School out of Bakersfield has the top high school time with a time of 7:24:09. The Tahoe Tessies have the second fastest Masters Woman's overall time of 8:54:37.
This is a non-profit event with proceeds going to youth and high school running programs. In 2010 funds were given to Bijou Community School for their playing field.

Template:K Raring/Music
Music Players
Amarok is the default music player in Kubuntu. Volume normalization (using ReplayGain) is a built-in option.
Amarok themes
Amarok themes can be downloaded from KDE Look and installed.
- Download the theme (ending in .tar.bz2) to your home directory (or chosen directory).
- Amarok -> Settings -> Appearance -> Install New Style
- Select the downloaded file.
Play Shoutcast Internet Radio through Amarok
Shoutcast internet radio can be played through Amarok 2.2 or later by installing the Shoutcast script:
- Amarok -> Tools -> Script Manager -> Get More Scripts -> Search: Shoutcast -> Install
- -> Restart Amarok -> Tools -> Script Manager -> Shoutcast service tralala (ticked) -> Ok -> Internet -> Shoutcast service tralala
Note: Internet radio streams use many different ports. You must adjust your firewall to allow the ports over which the streams will be sent.
RecordStream is an Amarok plugin that enables recording of Internet Radio streams (works best with Shoutcast streams). Install:
- Amarok -> Tools -> Script Manager -> Get More Scripts -> Search: RecordStream -> Install
- Install the required streamripper module:
sudo apt-get install streamripper
- RecordStream / Streamripper will record streams in two modes:
- "Record webradio" will save each individually streamed track to its native MP3 or AAC file, preserving the original song/track title.
- "Record livestream" will record continuously whatever is being streamed until the "Stop recording" option is chosen.
- Of course, Streamripper can be used as a standalone command-line program as well. For instructions, enter man streamripper on the command line. The RecordStream script is not set up to pass all the variables available to Streamripper; for fine-grained control it is better to run Streamripper as a standalone program. See these tips.
Stream Amarok output to Airport Express
Make sure your firewall is not blocking ports 5353, 5000, and 6000.
- To stream any audio to your Airport Express, including from Amarok, use the latest version of Pulse Audio.
QMMP is a compact, fast Qt-based music player similar to XMMS2, Audacious, and WinAmp2 and can use the "Classic" WinAmp2 / XMMS skins. Volume normalization (using ReplayGain) is a built-in option. It supports many plugins and is ideal for streaming content. Install:
sudo apt-get install qmmp
You can switch between the "PulseAudio Output Plugin" and the "ALSA Output Plugin" under
- QMMP -> Settings -> Audio -> Current output plugin.
- There are many places to get .wsz skins ("Classic" Winamp2/XMMS) that are compatible with QMMP, Audacious, or XMMS2:
Audacious is a compact, fast GTK-based music player that is a fork of XMMS. It resembles XMMS2 and WinAmp2 and can use the "Classic" WinAmp2 / XMMS skins. Volume normalization (using ReplayGain) is a built-in option. It supports many plugins and is ideal for streaming content. Install:
sudo apt-get install audacious
You can switch between the "PulseAudio Output Plugin" and the "ALSA Output Plugin" under
- Audacious -> Preferences -> Audio -> Current output plugin.
Juk is a compact, fast music player with a simple iTunes-like track browser, ID3-tag editing capabilities, and playlist interface. However, volume normalization is not currently an option. It is part of the KDE multimedia project. Install:
sudo apt-get install juk
Clementine is a Qt-based music player modeled on Amarok, with available options such as ID3 tags, music format conversion, audio CD playing, and more. Install:
sudo apt-get install clementine
Banshee Music Player
Banshee is a Gstreamer, Mono and Gtk-based music player for Linux and Mac OS X. It supports multiple mp3 players (including the iPod).There are plugins for podcasts, internet radio, and more.
sudo apt-get install banshee

CUSTOM TOPO MAPS from Pathfinder Arrow Wraps
Custom printed 1:24,000 USGS topographical maps.
Printed on 135 gsm matte paper.
What makes my maps custom? Before I print them, I add the latitude and longitude lines and the UTM grid lines to the map. This makes plotting points easier and faster. I can also mark points on the map at the customers request and print that information onto the map. For example, if a customer had the grid cooridinates or the lat/longs for the corners of a piece of property, I could add boundary lines of the property to the map before printing.
These are official USGS maps and I do not alter the base information on the map. Their accuracy remains untouched.
If you are interested, all I need is the location you want the map to cover. Sometimes, the sheet names of the maps are of towns that were significant when the area was mapped, but have declined. The map of my hunting area is named after a town that doesn't even exist anymore. So, give me any information you might have and we'll figure it out.
Cost for each map is $15 with $5 shipping. I accept paypal, credit cards, money orders and checks. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have.Pathfinder Arrow Wraps

Decide on the focus of your newsletter. Some newsletters cover just one nuclear family, or you could collect news items from a whole branch of your family. Broadening your scope will make your newsletter meatier, but you may have to pester extended family members to make sure they send in their contributions on time.
What should go in a newsletter? All the big events are no-brainers: engagements, weddings, babies, vacations, trips abroad, career changes, big anniversaries, household moves. You should also include individual achievements, such as Tony Jr. making the high school honor roll or Cousin Trisha receiving a 10-year anniversary plaque from her company. Along with "articles" on big events, you can add lists of birthdays and anniversaries, or spice up the contents with the your favorite pictures, captions, drawings, prayers or quotes from the year.

Hello, I posted this in the OffSec PWB forum, but I don't think it's frequented that often hence no response. Apologies for the re-post if you've already come across this.
I've been doing some research into tcp wrappers recently, having noticed that a few services within the pwb lab are wrapped. As I understand it tcpwrappers are a method of applying an ACL to a service, based on IP address.
I've figured that I can only talk to wrapped services if i'm bouncing through another host, but is there a reliable way of determining which hosts are in the ACL? The only ideas i've had on this so far seem to require some cache poisoning, which seems more than likely to mess things up (and poisoning is not allowed in the labs anyway!).
Spoofing my source address could be an option I suppose, but that would mean responses are directed elsewhere I guess...
Can anyone share any insights into this? Even a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.

Church to Give Away Assault Rifle
Grace Baptist Church in Lansingburgh is running a free raffle at an upcoming Sunday service for an AR-15 assault rifle. A flier is out saying "Does the Bible defend my right to keep and bear arms?" Click here to go to the church's website.Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin is scheduled to speak and it says all giveaways are free but attendance is required, according to the flier.
Rev. John Koletas is the pastor of Grace Baptist Church. In a letter post on the website, the service and gun raffle are aimed at "honoring hunters and gun owners who have been so viciously attacked by the antichristian socialist media and antichristian socialist politicians the last few years."
Applicants will be subjected to a federal background check and must provide a valid driver's license and you must be at least 18 years old. The church also says it reserves the right "to disqualify those of questionable character."
The service is set for March 23 at 10:00 a.m.
The Times-Union reports that Koletas works as a Rensselaer County court reporter.

PHOTO: Ice Cube Shares First Photo From NWA Biopic Starring His Son
Listen to N.W.A. on iHeartRadio
Are you ready for the N.W.A. biopic?
Ice Cube just posted the first official photo from the upcoming film, Straight Outta Compton, via social media and it looks like casting directors nailed it.
The rapper will be played by his own son, O'Shea Jackson, Jr. and Jason Mitchell and Cory Collins will take not he roles of Eazy-E and Dr. Dre.
The film is set to hit theaters in August 2015 and will be produced by Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Eazy E's widow, Tomica Woods-Wright. The flick will be executive produced by Will Packer and directed by F. Gary Gray.
Check out the description:
"In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A., STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war."
Finally found the cast for the NWA movie. Me, Gary Gray, Dre w/ Cube, Eazy & Dre #StraightOuttaCompton coming 8/14/15 pic.twitter.com/AQZAVSIfxF

New express lanes on Interstate 15 in Utah County are now open not only to carpools, but also to the 12,700 drivers in the state who use transponders to pay tolls in such lanes.
Last week, the Utah Department of Transportation opened all lanes a bit early in the 26-mile stretch where it has rebuilt and widened I-15 between Lehi and Spanish Fork even though final completion of all work is not scheduled until next month. The stretch had opened express lanes to carpools but needed some extra work on toll equipment before allowing toll-payers.
UDOT spokeswoman Tania Mashburn said Utah now has the longest continuous stretch of carpool lanes in the country: 54 miles from 2300 North in North Salt Lake to Spanish Fork. It has another stretch from Parrish Lane in Centerville to the Layton Parkway, for a total of 62 miles.
UDOT is studying adding express lanes from 2300 North in North Salt Lake to Parrish Lane, and from the Layton Parkway to 31st Street in Ogden.
That would add another 23 new miles, for a total stretch of 85 miles.

Grant's gazelles are in the order Artiodactyla, or even-toed ungulates (hoofed mammals). They belong to the family Bovidae, which includes antelope, cattle, sheep and goats. G. granti is in subfamily Antilopinae, which has 14 genera. Members of the subfamily Antilopinae are "true antelopes". They are small- to medium-sized, graceful creatures with slender legs and rather long necks. The horns are usually present in both sexes, but may be reduced or absent in females. All 16 species of gazelles are members of the genus Gazella.
Grant's gazelles live in southeastern Sudan, southern Ethiopia,southwestern Somalia, northern Tanzania, northeastern Uganda and Kenya.
Grant's gazelles inhabit semi-desert areas, open savannas and treeless plains. Herds avoid tall grass if they can. They occasionally roam in acacia thicket country, but only if the area has many paths and open swaths.
Grant's gazelles are long-legged, heat- and drought-tolerant antelopes. They are stocky and larger than most gazelle species, with males standing between 33 -36 inches (8-91 cm) tall, and a body length of 61-65 inches (155 -166 cm). The weight of males ranges from 128-180 pounds (58-82 kg), with an average of 143 pounds (65 kg). Females stand 29-32 inches (74-81 cm) tall and have a body length of 55-59 inches (140 -150 cm). The weight of females ranges from 84-148 pounds (38-67 kg), with an average of 99 pounds (45 kg). For both sexes, the tail length is 8 -11 inches (20-28 cm).
They have a reddish-tan coat with a white underbelly and inner legs, along with a white rump patch framed in black. The belly coloration is most conspicuous in arid-zone species, which need to deflect away the high temperatures radiated upwards from ground surfaces. Grant's gazelles have a characteristic white stripe on their face running from their horns to their muzzle, framed with a black edge. (this trait distinguishes Grant's gazelle from other gazelles). Females may have a black stripe outlining the snow-white rump patch. Some Grant's gazelles have diagonal black bars on the sides of their flanks. The ears are long and pointed at the tip. G. granti has keen vision and hearing. Both sexes have S-shaped, ringed, unbranched horns that curve backwards and the forwards to turn inward at the tips. The horns are 18-31 inches (46-78 cm) in length, and the record length of horns was 32 inches (81 cm). A male's horns are more heavily ringed.
In captivity and the wild, their life span is 12 to 14 years.
In the wild: Grant's gazelles graze and browse the greenest plant material, preferring short herbs and the leaves of shrubs. They eat grasses when leaves and herbs are unavailable. They also occasionally eat fruit.
At the zoo: Primarily alfalfa, timothy hay, and commercially prepared herbivore diet, with occasional fruits and vegetables as treats.
When breeding season begins, Grant's gazelles leave their normal pattern of mixed-sex groups as males begin to define breeding territories, which range from 550 -2,200 yards (503 -2,012 m) in diameter. To define these territories, males have small glands all over their body. They have facial, groin, "knee" and foot glands. In contrast, larger species of gazelles usually don't mark their large home ranges, and have only rudimentary face glands. However, breeding male Grant's gazelles also mark their territories with ritual displays of urination and defecation. They will defend their boundaries from challenging males using anything from ritualized threat displays to intense fighting.
Males are slower to fight than other smaller gazelle species, but fight longer and harder if they do engage. Territorial males defend only against other breeding males, and are tolerant of visiting, non-breeding males. Territory defense begins with two males approaching or standing parallel, facing opposite directions, with heads tilted slightly away from each other. They whip their heads toward each other, tilting their chins up to display their horns. They may repeat this sequence several times. The second level of threat is to tuck their chins, while keeping the horns vertical. The third level is head down, horns pointing horizontally. If horn displays progress to fighting, their heads are close to the ground, horns forward. Opposing males try to catch the other animals' horns to throw him.
Breeding males attempt to convince females to enter and remain in their territories through behavioral displays, but they will not follow a female into another male's territory if she decides to leave.
Generally, birth peaks in January and August after a gestation of about 6 months. The female ventures into tall grass to give birth to her single calf. Directly afterwards, the female cleans the calf and eats the afterbirth. After the calf nurses, it remains hidden in the tall grass as its mother grazes nearby. The female walks around the calf, memorizing its hidden location. She checks it from many angles before moving away, since she must periodically return to the calf to nurse. Females often vigorously defend their young. Females with newborn calves remain apart from herds, but rejoin them as the calves grow older.
Although gregarious throughout most of the year, Grant's gazelles do not form lasting adult relationships. Herds can be females, females and young, bachelor groups, or, outside the breeding season, mixed. Herds of females wander in annual home ranges of about 115 square miles (298 sq. km), while solitary males defend territories of 20 acres (8.1 ha) to 38 square miles (98 sq. km) in diameter. Females with newborn calves and territorial males do not join the herd.
Grant's gazelles live at higher densities in richer habitat. Their flexible social system is well-adapted to take advantage of scattered and changing food supplies throughout the year. A herd in an area with scattered or sparse vegetation may have just 10 -15 animals. However, as the herd moves or the area becomes lush during the rainy season, more groups or individuals may join until their numbers swell to several hundred. Then, when food resources decline again, the herd breaks up.
Grant's gazelles feed at night, when humidity is higher. During early rains, they incorporate grasses into their diet.
Grant's gazelles, along with all other gazelle species, engage in a unique behavior called "pronking." When a gazelle pronks, it leaps repeatedly straight up into the air with hunched shoulders, and lands on all four feet at once. The reasons for this behavior are not precisely known, but it may be associated with play, serve as an alarm signal to the rest of the herd, or allow the gazelle to search for predators lurking in tall grass. Pronking may also serve as a warning to predators that they shouldn't waste their time chasing that particular animal. A pronking gazelle advertises strength and stamina. Recognizing the obvious health of its prey, a hungry lion may look elsewhere for its next meal.
If the body temperature of a Grant's gazelle is higher than the brain can tolerate, the animal pants rapidly, and blood passes through the vessels of the moist nasal mucous to be cooled by evaporation. The cooled blood drains to the sinus space below the brain, and surrounds the carotid artery, cooling the blood on its way to the brain. This mechanism also occurs in other bovids, including domestic sheep. Grant's gazelles also have muscular flexibility whereby they can control the airflow for extra efficiency. Additionally, the nasal bones do not extend into the lower muzzle. This lack of a constricting tube probably allows the nostrils their great flexibility; this likely improves temperature regulation.
Grant's gazelles can be seen in the zoo's award-winning African Savanna exhibit. Other species you will find there include the hippopotamus, giraffe, fringe-eared oryx, zebra, and lion.
The Grant's gazelle remains widespread, with a total population of about 140,000. However, its population is slowly declining over 75% of its range. Although the Grant's gazelle is not considered an endangered or threatened species, the same cannot be said for other gazelle species. Two of the 16 known species in the genus Gazella are thought to be extinct in the wild; they are G. rufina and G. saudiya . Several other gazelle species are listed as endangered or threatened, including G. dama, G. dorcas, G. gazella and G. rufifrons. Gazelle populations are negatively impacted by poaching, habitat loss due to the expansion of agriculture, and competition for food with livestock.
Grant's gazelles, along with other large herbivores, insects, and rodents all play important roles in the development, maintenance and ecological structure or composition of the African savanna. Besides being an important food source for large predators, grazing animals actually create and maintain the grasslands they depend on! Grasslands have evolved under the grazing pressures of ungulates since the Cenozoic Era (65 million years ago to today). The most critical growth tissues is from the base of the grass, at or below ground surface. This protects grasses from the heaviest grazing or fire. Also, when animals clip away at the top of the grass or eat the leaves, the grass responds by directing energy to other parts of the plant and new growth is stimulated. Moderate grazing actually improves the productivity of grasses. It makes room for new, young tissue growth in grasses.
If grazers cannot perform their ecological role, the structure of grasslands changes. Woody vegetation invades the area and the habitat changes, or the region is converted to a desert as a result of overgrazing by domestic cattle with typically limited ranges. With these changes in the savanna also comes the further loss of other animals that depend on grassland habitat. Paradoxically, Grant's gazelles may actually benefit from overgrazing by cattle. As cattle feed and reduce the amount of available grasses, herb vegetation overtakes the abused grazing site. In turn, this generates an abundance of food for the Grant's gazelle, which prefers this new growth.
For many animals, flexible and sustainable conservation programs are essential. Partnerships with other zoos can support healthy captive populations, while in-situ fieldwork can provide successful on-ground solutions. There are several other field-based conservation projects supported by Woodland Park Zoo that aim to help animals and plants in the savanna habitat of the Grant's gazelle.
Each in-situ project supported by the zoo aims to provide a broad, holistic approach to conservation, encompassing research, education, habitat and species preservation. This includes comprehensive, cooperative strategies to link the needs of animals with the people who share their ecosystems.
Woodland Park Zoo contributes information to the captive breeding, husbandry and public awareness of this intriguing native species. The effort to save animal species requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional, and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Let your elected representatives know your views on protecting endangered species and wild habitats. Please do not buy products made from wild animal parts.
