1 Execution site(s)
Lyudmila S. explains: "Not only did see the mass shootings, but I also heard them. There was a well in the field. Jews were taken to this place. They were not executed, the poor people, they were thrown into the well alive." (Witness N°124, interviewed in Berezivka on December 29, 2004).
Berezivka is located at 55 kilometers from Feodosya in Crimea. There was before the war a Jewish kolkhoz and the most of the Jews lived from agriculture.
According to Yahad's investigation, the Jewish houses were marked with yellow star. Then, the Jews were gathered by the Germans. Ludmila S. (N°124) remembered that the Jews were taken in the field of the kolkhoze where there was a well. They weren't shot but thrown alive into the well. For Vilior B. (N°122), the execution took place in December 1941.

Tweet Tweet Tweet! I've spent a bit of time on Twitter lately and a friend suggested that I look into doing the Twitter bird. When she suggested it, I bet she thought I'd just do the cartoon icon on all five nails…. WROONNGGGGGG- actually it was a really cute idea but I decided to run with it and do a bit extra…
For this manicure, I started off each hand with one coat of OPI's Natural Nail Base Coat (I need to get some more, I'm running low) and one coat of Maybelline's Summer Splash, except for the ring finger was two coats of Sally Hansen's Lavender Cloud. For the white, I used Sally Hansen's Lavender Cloud, the yellow was OPI's The It Color, the orange was OPI's Chop-Sticking To My Story, the darkest blue was Orly's La Playa, and the shades of blue in between were a mixture of Summer Splash and Lavender Cloud. I topped off all fingers with two coats of Seche Vite Top Coat. (I need more seche, too! :-))
My favorite's the owl and my least favorite is the 3d bird on the ring finger. It was such a cute cartoon that I had to do it, but it was surprisingly detailed. I hope you all can see the tiny whale-carrying birds on the thumb! Nonetheless, I'm sure all of you "twitter"-ers know what all of these images are (or maybe not?). The Fail Whale shows up when Twitter is over capacity; the owl (so cute for twitter to use this image) is if your account has been suspended for suspicious activity (never saw that one firsthand!) and the other three are different versions of the main twitter icon and mascot.
After breaking my ring finger nail by dropping (and catching) my 30+ pound life size sculpture head in class (clay is apparently heavier than flesh and bone…), I decided to trim all the others down. That way, they can grow back evenly. I never have needed to cut my nails in the past as they never grew long enough to need it, but after I started this blog, I realize its a tough experience to see all that long growth go sayonara!! But it was worth it.

Ministers could announce plans to introduce plain packets for cigarettes later this year, reports suggest.
The legislation will be announced during the Queen's Speech in May, the Guardian said.
The newspaper said the government also plans to ban smoking in cars carrying children.
However, senior Department of Health officials insisted that Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt is yet to make a decision about the move.
In December, Australia became the first country in the world to put all tobacco products in standardised packs.
Cigarettes and other products are all sold in packaging of a standardised colour, with only the brand name and graphic warnings visible.
"We are going to follow what they have done in Australia," a senior Whitehall source told the Guardian.
"The evidence suggests it is going to deter young smokers. There is going to be legislation."
In April last year, the government launched a consultation on plans to introduce mandatory standardised packaging for tobacco products.
Health campaigners have welcomed the proposal, saying that b rightly coloured packages are one of the last marketing ploys tobacco companies use to lure people to their products, but opponents claim it would lead to increased smuggling and job losses.
Information generated by the consultation, which closed in August, is still being analysed by health officials.
A Department of Health spokeswoman said: "We have received many thousands of responses to the tobacco packaging consultation. We are currently in the process of carefully collating and analysing all the responses received.
"The government has an open mind on this issue and any decisions to take further action will be taken only after full consideration of the consultation responses, evidence and other relevant information."
Dr Harpal Kumar, chief executive of Cancer Research UK, said: "We strongly support proposals to introduce plain, standardised packaging of tobacco, and other measures to reduce the harm caused by smoking.
"Introducing standardised packaging would be a huge public health achievement for the government. And despite strong lobbying from the tobacco industry, we know the majority of the public backs plain packs. We urge the Government to move forward with this measure and give it our full backing.
"Pack design is one of the last marketing tools available to the industry. Existing glitzy and colourful packs hold real appeal for young people, reducing the impact of health warnings and often misleading them to believe cigarettes are less harmful than they are.
"We must silence the tobacco industry's capacity to target children in this way, particularly as 157,000 children still start smoking every year. Plain, standardised packaging won't stop everyone from smoking - but it will give millions of children one less reason to start."
Steve Crabb, communications director of the British Lung Foundation said: "This is fantastic news, and a significant acknowledgement that the unacceptable number of people dying from respiratory disease in the UK needs to be tackled through legislation.
"Reducing smoking is one of the biggest things we could do to improve the health of the nation. BLF supporters have been campaigning hard for legislation to ban smoking in cars when children are present and, along with standardised packaging for tobacco products, these measures could make a huge difference to future generations' lung health."

0 Lollipop have an option to remain with KitKat 4. From what I've read, no. I just experienced the Bootcamp install of Windows 8. Just up to date the firmware on my 1TB Samsung 840 Evo in my 2013 iMac with the details provided right here and that hyperlink about producing a CDR. Users of varied Samsung Galaxy, HTC, Nexus, LG, Motorola and various other manufacturer's smartphones who don't desire to update to Google android 5. I agree there's no way we have to need to go that path to be able to revise the firmware confidently. Here's how exactly to set up your phone to reject the revise. I only discovered this myself because my much loved Samsung S4 I-9505 offers been having a hell of a time keeping signal lately. 1 and used the Samsung Magician software, as stated it had been done updating in under 10 seconds.
It seems that complaint record on the Samsung i8910 Omnia HD has finally paid. Add in the capability to personalize the optical preview and delete key functionality, and to alter the function of the command dials in System, Priority or Manual shooting modes, and your Samsung NX1 will fit you much better than ever before! And as we talked about in the beginning of this article, the Samsung NX1 provides tethered capturing support now, courtesy of a fresh Samsung Remote control Studio Software program app. And if you share your camera with multiple users, or have several smart gadget - a mobile phone and tablet, say - then you can right now pair multiple products with no need to initial deregister the prior device.
1 percent of most Android phones that have the Google Play store app, according to Google's latest distribution figures, that ought to be updated in the coming week. Nearly three months to your day since its launch, Lollipop continues to be on less than 0. However, the most severe problem now is the telephone loosing" the SIM card and requesting me to enter my SIM PIN every 4 hours or so to learn it.
Both are excellent devices that provide thin, modern builds with large, bright displays and plenty of power and performance to get you through the workday, but the S6's efficiency and security features makes it the clear winner for small company users. Up to date on 05-19-2015 by Andy Boxall: Added in new images, final specs, and news of the LG G4 Stylus. It is disappointing that HTC aren't upgrading the lesser versions from their 2013 and 2014 product ranges. With regards to business mobile phones, Samsung's Galaxy S6 is the better pick over HTC's One M9.
The Verizon HTC One M9 also has the latest software edition - you can stay up to date by keeping track of HTC's support page or Verizon's support web page for the HTC One M9. It's been quite a long time coming, but lots of the latest flagship Google android devices have obtained their respective Lollipop improvements finally. You can download the update from HTC's support web page if you want to flash the ROM yourself, or you can manually check for software updates in your configurations or just await the OTA to reach. When the HTC One M8 Google Play edition started getting Android 5. On April 11 and pushed the software to version 1 the Sprint HTC One M9 Google android update arrived. 1 in early April, HTC's Mo Versi stated that the HTC One M7 GPe's revise would begin rolling out immediately after.
Step 4: Use the Volume keys to navigate to the �upgrade from adb' option and verify your selection by pressing the energy key. After the transfer is complete, the installation process will immediately start. After the ZIP file is installed, choose the �reboot system today' option to boot back your Google Play edition One M8 to Android 5. Step 6: Duplicate paste the next order to sideload the OTA zip file to your One M8.
I've a Samsung 840 (non-pro) SSD but I could imagine that this may work for other Samsung SSDs, too. The team offers been gathering responses from clients whilst dealing with engineers, specialists from merchandising, hardware, software, picture quality, AF, Quality and ux management on the Firmware Project. I browse that under Home windows you can produce a bootable USB stick using Magican (can be found on a single download page).
Well I guess in the event that you ask the people who have problems setting it up right they would likely say that it is not worthwhile. after that there's this red factor everytime you opened up another apps. however now appears like hell� I dont enjoy. I would suggest for you not to revise your s3 because of their latest update(JANUARY2013) coz it really sucks! before mine is working properly, no buffering when Im playing tunes,surfing the net etc.
The M9 alerts users if they are utilizing a charger that does not feature quick charge technology and lets them know that the charging period might be slower. However, the manufacturers of those gadgets justify their high prices with main hardware and software upgrades. The HTC One M9 will sell for $649 unlocked, which places its premium pricing on par with that of the Samsung Galaxy iPhone and S6 6.

I awoke this morning, like so many other Americans, to record low temps for the day. It was 1 degree F with a wind chill of 12 below zero outside my house. I still had to walk our little doggie, of course, so I bundled up with layers of clothes, a knit hat and scarf, put the leash on Brody, and headed out to brave the elements. But it's warmed up now. It is only 3 degrees. I'm at the computer with our kitty, Shia, on my lap.
So what do you do when the weather is so bad that you don't want to get out? One thing I do, which lots of folks do, is snuggle up with something nice to read. Daytime TV isn't great anyway, and I check facebook and other things online before breakfast.
Luckily, I have more than ample reading material when I am taking a little break from writing. St. Clair Publications has so many great books in so many genres that we can pretty much match anyone's tastes.

Our merchant recommendations are based on their expertise, passion, experience and ongoing feedback from past customers. For every service request, our system shortlists the most suitable service merchants and we approach 1 to 5 of them to supply you their quotes, proposals or feedback for your job. We reveal the short listed service merchant's detailed profile and help you with the selection process. xYzed's consultants track the progress of your work until successful completion so that we can have the peace of mind that you are being looked after.

Merchants can sign-up with xYzed for free. However, to be an approved merchant they have to go through a qualification process which includes interviews, background checks and reference checks. Once approved, when a customer posts a relevant service request in their area, we'll inviting them to apply for the job.

Why we started xYzed.com:
Over the years we have all become quite sick and tired of wasting countless hours researching service providers via local directories and search engines.

Known as Blastomycosis, the fungus grows in moist soil, soil mixed with sand or vegetation, in areas around water. When conditions are right, spores are released into the air that either can be inhaled by dogs or travel through their open wounds. In very rare cases, the fungus can affect people. Warm weather accelerates the fungal growth.
If not diagnosed and treated properly, it eventually can cause blindness and even death. Blastomycosis is NOT contagious. It can be contracted directly only from the fungus itself and is not transmitted by dogs or people.
The southern Great Lakes have now become a breeding ground for this type of fungus that causes Blastomycosis.
Note: Please know that the lake is NOT contaminated and the fungus grows in patches, in small, restricted areas.
It is not known how many cases of Blastomycosis have been contracted due to the lack of any database and undetected cases that are never reported. Note: However, this disease is NOT an epidemic, but it is becoming more commonplace.
Here are the symptoms to look for:
- Fever
- Flu-like symptoms (pneumonia)
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss
- Eye infection, specifically the iris
- Sudden blindness
- Difficulty breathing (e.g., coughing, wheezing and other unusual breathing sounds)
- Skin sores or lesions, which are frequently filled with pus and do not heal
- Decreased stamina
- Joint pain
- Reluctance to walk, loss of coordination
- Lymph glands swelling
Of course, many of these symptoms are common and Blastomycosis can easily be mistaken for something else. Become aware of the symptoms, pay close attention to your pet's health and then follow through with a competent DVM veterinarian immediately. Ask your vet to check for Blastomycosis if you suspect your pet may have the condition.
Please feel free to share this information with others.

As more and more firms realize the benefits of bringing in contract attorneys with special experience to lower costs and improve internal workflow, the market for contract attorneys is rapidly expanding
Houston, TX (PRWEB) November 29, 2006
Trial Solutions today announced that it has launched Attorney Solutions, a nationwide attorney staffing service. Attorney Solutions provides highly skilled and licensed contract attorneys under flexible terms to support a variety of case-based requirements including document review and trial preparation and support.
"As more and more firms realize the benefits of bringing in contract attorneys with special experience to lower costs and improve internal workflow, the market for contract attorneys is rapidly expanding," stated Attorney Thomas C. Graham, who will lead Attorney Solutions as Director of Legal Services. "The nationwide demand for contract attorneys, along with our goal to provide clients with a comprehensive solution, leads us to believe that Attorney Solutions is the right solution at the right time for our clients," stated Mr. Graham.
The Company indicates that they have already received numerous requests from their current client base and new clients to provide attorneys to supplement staffing shortages due to extended trials and court-imposed deadlines. Additionally, firms are requesting contract attorneys to assist with document reviews and productions in large scale discovery suits, Department of Justice investigations and large scale due diligence projects.
"For our existing clients, combining attorney document review services with our user-friendly Online Review Tool has proven to be very cost effective due to the ease of training new contract attorneys on the use of the software. Additionally, the software tracks and monitors all review, so law firms can verify document review speeds and identify what documents have been reviewed," Mr. Graham adds.
According to a 2005 Survey by Altman Weil, Inc., of Major Law Firm Management Techniques, 62.5% of the respondents indicated that they had transferred non-core activities to a third party to lower costs or improve performance.
The Company is also announcing that it has the national and international resources to support staffing requests for foreign speaking attorneys that may have historically been difficult to fill. "Attorney Solutions' access to specialized attorneys is benefiting our clients tremendously," states Brad Jenkins, President of Trial Solutions. "As an example, one of our DC clients recently requested a Mandarin speaking lawyer to handle a biotech patent litigation project. We received our client's request on a Friday, and by Monday we were able to provide them with 6 resumes of Mandarin speaking attorneys with technical experience," continued Mr. Jenkins.

Bill Belichick had nice things to say about his star tight end.
Bill Belichick discussed Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski's leadership skills Wednesday, and his take was extremely positive.
On one hand, this is unsurprising: what coach wants to bash his star player? But at the same time, Gronkowski's party-hard, goofball persona off the field makes the contrast in Belichick's comments noteworthy. The longtime Patriots coach said Gronkowski was "probably underrated" in the leadership department.
"He doesn't really sometimes come across in that role, but what I see, Rob's very attentive, very coachable," Belichick said, as reported by WEEI's Christopher Price. "You tell him what you want him to do, he works very hard to do it the way you want it done."
Belichick also praised Gronkowski's on-field intelligence and ability to play different positions within the Patriots' scheme, both as a receiver and a blocker.
"His work ethic, his ability to work with his teammates, whether it's the quarterback, the offensive tackles, the other tight ends or even with the defensive players is good," Belichick added. "He's really a great guy to have on the team. Forget about the talent and all that. Just the way he goes about his job, the way he works, trains in the weight room, his physical conditioning, his mental concentration and focus and desire to be well and do well and improve are very, very good."
In two games, Gronkowski has 12 receptions for 207 yards and four touchdowns.

Her Conservatoire studies weren't successful because Lantelme comedy talent was far from academic theatre manner. At the end of course she didn't obtain any prize and soon returned to the work under her ordinary stage name.
Since 1 April 1905 she performed in "L'Age d'Aimer" by Pierre Wolff. The leading part was played by famous (but already not young) actress Réjane.

When Réjane knew that her friend Alfred Edwards, a media tycoon and amateur playwright, had written a play "Par Ricochet" and was looking for an actress, she introduced Lantelme to him. Soon Lantelme became his mistress, and this relationship marked her life.
Alfred Edwards. Scan from Le Theatre.
Alfred Edwards also helped Réjane to open her own theatre, le théatre Réjane. First play put on stage there was "La Savelli" written by Max Maurey, an old fashioned history drama in a Victorien Sardou style. (Many years ago Réjane became a star after she played in "Madame Sans-Gêne" by Sardou.) And Sardou himself was involved as a director.

Lantelme signed a contract and was engaged since September 1906, but she hadn't much to play because Réjane always played leading parts. In January 1908 Lantelme broke the contract and left the theatre. Réjane immediately brought an action against her. Lantelme lost and had to pay 20 000 francs, very big money (she earned only 600 by month in theatre Réjane). It may be one of reasons why she didn't leave rich Edwards who could arrange everything.
In spite of all the troubles 1908 is for Lantelme a lucky year because at last she gets a leading part in a star play. It's a comedy "Le Roi" written by Caillavet, de Flers and Arène. Lantelme played Marthe Bourdier, called Youyou, a role performed before by Eve Lavallière. From 8 November 1908 to September 1909 Lantelme incarnates Youyou about 300 times. Her photos appear on Le Theatre covers, on numerous postcards and in fashion magazines like Les Modes or Femina.

During these years (1906-1909) Lantelme is struggling for Edwards with his wife number 4, Misia Godebska (ex-Nathanson and future Misia Sert). Neither Misia nor Lantelme loved him – all they needed were just his fortune and influence.

After all Lantelme, who was younger and more beautiful, won the battle. Edwards divorced Misia and married Lantelme in the city of Rouen, to avoid any publicity. Poor deserted Misia got 48 000 francs by year as a little consolation.

Activated sludge is a process for treating sewage and industrial waste waters using air and a biological floc composed of bacteria and protozoa. If you want to look it up yourself. Here is a link. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_sludge
we recommend that you copy "activated sludge microorganisms" or "activated sludge bacteria" and Google it. Yes it is present in sewerage plants. If you have studied the two subjects then, I want to ask you. What do you think about the photos on this regions section? Compere the photos with those on the recommended website links subjects.

The human assessment has become a well-known and widely accepted activity with several leading assessments claiming a majority of the U.S. business market, since the 1940's and '50's. Many years ago, these leading assessments started doing repeat score reliability studies to separate the non-viable human assessments from the viable ones.
This test/retest benchmarking has served to help people in business know which assessments are legitimate enough to bring into the Human Resources world for use to develop leadership. Recently, however, retesting has been conducted at increasingly short intervals after the initial test.
Does Timing Matter?
The validation reports generated 10-20 years ago demonstrated a repeat score reliability in the low 70% range when retested within 90 days of the first assessment process. The industry accepted a 70% retest level as the line of viability.
Any assessment which had lower than 70% repeat score reliability was judged to be non-viable. Some tests that achieved a score just above the minimum level saw their repeat score reliability fall markedly below 70%, when they retested people a year later or five years later.
The second level of validation began being important when too many instruments surpassed the 70% 90-day reliability hurdle. The viable assessment companies began doing construct evaluations between instruments. Several questions became standard construct questions.
1. Does our assessment identify the same personality characteristics as other 70% reliable instruments?
2. Does our assessment identify the same characteristics in retest individuals as it did in the first test?
It can be argued that the only real measure of validity is repeat score reliability over time. This is why repeat score reliability was chosen as the measure of assessment viability in the first place.
The Core Values Index™ of Taylor Protocols has just completed its third, third-party repeat score validation process with CVI scores going back to 2002, including people who have taken the CVI up to five times or more, with at least 90 days between testing and sometimes as much as ten years between repeated CVI completions.
We have published the complete results that were derived by Seattle Research Partners in this study, without change or subtraction of data. The CVI has been found to be approximately 97.7% repeat score reliable year over year and decade over decade.
If it is possible to attain such a high repeat score reliability, why is the standard accepted as 70%? Companies wishing to develop their human resources potential would benefit from a higher standard, giving them more reliable test results.
Currently there is no clear way to choose one assessment instrument over another except for repeat score reliability. Reading through test/retest validation reports reveals that the increased reliability seen today comes mostly from retests completed in less than 90 days. Reliability scores from retests where more than 1-3 years have lapsed continue to fall off below the 70% validity hurdle. Is our industry ignoring longer duration studies and accepting claims of validity based only upon test/retest validation that occurs in less than 90 days?
What do you think? Is the 90-day 70%-reliability standard high enough to inform and advise the users of assessment instruments?

Taxonomy of Leptothorax athabascaHNS sp.n.
Etymology. The name refers to the type locality. The specific epithet is to be treated as a noun in apposition. Type locality. On 27 July 1993, seven colonies have been collected in rock crevices on the south-exposed river bank just upriver Athabasca Falls of Athabasca River , Jasper National Park. The site is at 52° 39' 55" ' N, 117° 52' 58" W, at an elevation of c. 1200 m a.s.l. (as indicated by Google Earth).
The habitat is the river bank that sometimes is evidently flooded. A horizontally split, schist-like sandstone cliff is exposed there. The ants were exclusively found in rock crevices, whereas above the flood line a number of related species of LeptothoraxHNS were dwelling dead wood, or a layer of conifer needles and debris beneath small flat rocks. Mainly Leptothorax retractus FrancoeurHNS, 1986 could be found there. Close to the river and in the collecting site the coniferous forest was comparatively open.
Type material. Holotype gyne, 11 paratype gynes, 16 paratype workers, 10 paratype males.
Measurements of worker (n = 13). HL 697 ± 30 (656 - 760); HW 598 ± 23 (570 - 637); SL 457 ± 14 (437 - 475); MW 416 ± 23 (390 - 456); PSL 119 ± 15 (95 - 143); PEL 239 ± 13 (219 - 257); PEW 180 ± 10 (162 - 190); PPW 255 ± 14 (228 - 285); ML 864 ± 41 (808 - 931); PEH 264 ± 14 (247 - 290); HS 647 ± 26 (613 - 698); SL / HS 0.706 ± 0.019 (0.676 - 0.737); HW / HL 0.858 ± 0.020 (0.822 - 0.884); MW / ML 0.482 ± 0.008 (0.466 -0.495); PSL/ML 0.138 ±0.013 (0.113 -0.158); PEH / PEL 1.107 ± 0.057 (1.000 - 1.217); PEW / PEL 0.755 ± 0.047 (0.667 - 0.833); PEW / PPW 0.707 ± 0.028 (0.667 - 0.760). PSI 1.3 - 1.6 (n = 3).
Description of worker. Total length 3.2-3.3 mm; 11 antennomeres, as characteristic for the genus. Head (Fig. 1) subrectangular, with evenly rounded occipital corners. Head width equal in front of and behind the eyes. Eyes comparatively small, situated at midpoint of head. Frontal triangle distinctly delimited and well depressed. Scapes short, not reaching occipital corners. Mesosoma flat, outline in lateral view over a long distance straight, with shallow mesometanotal depression. Mesonotum at place where wings ofalate would insert with slight, but in dorsal and lateral aspect well visible crests; more prominent than in congeners. Propodeal spines broadly attached, longer than broad, in lateral view more or less straight caudad oriented, with pointed tips. In dorsal view, spines slightly convex, distally only minimally divergent. Propodeal spine index (cf. Buschinger1966) 1.3 - 1.6, the spines thus being comparatively short. Petiole short and high, node triangular, its anterior face markedly concave (Figs. 3, 4, 6) in lateral view, its posterior face also slightly concave, straight, or appearing a little bit convex with straight or slightly concave outlines. Top of node acute. In dorsocaudal view, upper part of node distinctly convergent, with sharp, medially distinctly impressed ridge. Anterior part of dorsal petiolar outline with prominent corners, well visible in dorsal or lateral view. Subpetiolar process well developed, pointing anterioventrad. Postpetiole rounded and lacking any conspicuous ventral appendage. Erect hairs relatively short (60 - 80 µm). Scapes only with subdecumbent, not erect hairs. Tips of hairs blunt. Petiole with a total of c. 8, postpetiole with c. 10 erect setae. Sculpture of head, mesosoma and waist mainly densely reticulate, without any stronger rugae or other sculpture elements.

Differential diagnosis. A detailed differential diagnosis cannot be provided because of the desolate condition of LeptothoraxHNS taxonomy in North America (see Discussion). A comparison is possible only with a few wellknown species and with the sympatric forms in the vicinity of the type locality.
The measured values are by no means unusual among related LeptothoraxHNS species. Leptothorax athabascaHNS is a bit larger than the European L. muscorumHNS (Nylander, 1846), and the syntopic L. retractusHNS, but smaller than L. acervorum (Fabricius, 1793) and the North American LeptothoraxHNS "sp. B" sensu Heinze & Buschinger (1987), Heinze (1989b) and Loiselle & al. (1990).
Figs. 6 - 8: Leptothorax athabascaHNS sp.n. (6) Worker, dorsal view; (7) gyne, dorsal view; (8) male, lateral view.
Propodeal spine length (PSL, Gusten & al. 2006) has not been measured in other species of LeptothoraxHNS. The propodeal spine index (PSI; Epinotal Spine Index in Buschinger1966) can be compared among a few species. In L. athabascaHNS gynes it is 1.3 - 1.6; in L. acervorumHNS (Europe) 1.87 ± 0.06 (Buschinger 1966); in L. muscorumHNS (Europe) 1.73 ± 0.09 (Buschinger 1966); in L. gredleri MayrHNS, 1855 (Europe) 1.48 ± 0.06 (Buschinger 1966); in L. scamni RuzskyHNS, 1905 (Caucasus and northern Turkey) c. 2.0 (Heinze & al. 1993); in L. pocahontasHNS (Canada) 1.7 - 1.8 (Buschinger 1979); and in L. faberiHNS (Canada) 1.5 -1.8 (Buschinger 1983).
The color of L. athabascaHNS gynes and workers is evenly dark brown (see Figs. 1 - 7), similar to L. acervorumHNS (but lacking the lighter areas on the body of that species), lighter than in the sympatric LeptothoraxHNS "sp. B", and darker than in L. retractusHNS from the same site.
Sculpture and pilosity are quite similar to other North American species of LeptothoraxHNS. Some negative characters may be helpful for identification, though:
Leptothorax pocahontasHNS has long, tapering hairs and, in the typical case, a smooth and shiny surface (however, "dull" gynes with shorter hairs have been found and provisionally attributed to this species, cf. Buschinger & Heinze 1993).
Leptothorax retractusHNS is characterized by a small but clearly visible notch in the anterior margin of the clypeus. This notch lacks in L. athabascaHNS.
LeptothoraxHNS sp. C (sensu Heinze & Buschinger 1987, Heinze 1989b and Loiselle & al. 1990), supposed to be the host species of L. pocahontasHNS, is much lighter in coloration. Higgins (year unknown) suggested that LeptothoraxHNS sp. C from Jasper NP is identical to Leptothorax muscorum var. septentrionalis WheelerHNS, 1917, though this taxon still is considered a junior synonym of L. muscorumHNS according to antbase.org and Bolton & al. (2007).
What remains as characteristic for L. athabascaHNS is the very sharp crest on top of the petiole (Fig. 4), the flat mesosoma in the female castes (Figs. 3, 5), and the dorsolateral small outgrowths of the worker mesonotum.
Life history data of Leptothorax athabascaHNS sp.n.
Two among the seven colonies that were collected were polygynous with two and four reproductive queens (checked by dissection; spermathecae full of sperm and ovaries well developed, yolky oocytes present); the species thus is probably facultatively polygynous like most other congenerics. The colonies collected on 27 July 1993 had sexual pupae in various states of pigmentation, and a few adult males. Colony size was about 50 to 100 adults.
Records of other interesting FormicoxeniniHNS from Jasper National Park
In addition to L. athabascaHNS the visit in Jasper NP in July 1993 revealed a couple of colonies of very rare, unexpected or recently described species. Leptothorax faberiHNS, an inquiline that had been described from Mt. Edith Cavell, could not be rediscovered. However, the inquiline ant, L. wilsoniHNS was found, which as yet had been known only from eastern USA, and Formicoxenus quebecensisHNS, a guest ant of Myrmica alaskensis WheelerHNS, 1917, also as yet only known from eastern North America (Quebec).
Leptothorax athabascaHNS is described here because among the many samples that Buschinger and collaborators have collected in several sites in Canada and in the USA, and among the described species as well as a few unnamed ones depicted on internet-sites (e.g., antweb.org year unknown, Longino 2005) none could be found with the very characteristic acute petiolar profile and the flat mesosoma of L. athabascaHNS.
Our differential diagnosis is provisional, but at present it is impossible to thoroughly compare L. athabascaHNS with all the more or less well or insufficiently described species and especially with the many undescribed forms, nor the subspecies of the " Leptothorax muscorumHNS complex" listed by Creighton (1950) that all had been synonymized with Leptothorax muscorumHNS by Brown (1955). The genus evidently comprises many more species in North America than in Europe where only three LeptothoraxHNS species are known that lack erect hairs in femora and antennal scapes, i.e., the "true" L. muscorumHNS, Leptothorax gredleriHNS, and Leptothorax scamniHNS. All three species apparently do not occur in North America. Heinze (1989b) gives an impression of the variety of North American species with respect to biochemical markers: apart from L. crassipilis WheelerHNS, 1917 and L. retractusHNS he had studied eight forms named " Leptothorax muscorumHNS A" through " Leptothorax muscorumHNS H" plus " L. muscorumHNS AxB?", finally suggesting that the complex in addition to these eight or nine forms should consist of at least three or four further taxa. Loiselle& al. (1990), studying karyotypes of a number of taxa, also have failed to disentangle the group; the forms described until then as species could be confirmed (including the European species L. muscorumHNS and L. gredleriHNS), but a number of other, morphologically different samples and populations still remained under the name " L. muscorumHNS ".
The flat and slender mesosoma in the female castes probably represents an adaptation to life in narrow rock crevices. This character corresponds well with the fact that practically all other LeptothoraxHNS species both in Europe and in North America preferably are nesting in dead wood or bark ( L. acervorumHNS in some places also in rock crevices), where nest entrances and galleries usually are tubular.
The new species seems to have an extremely limited range as far as is known, a phenomenon, however, that appears to be not unusual among the FormicoxeniniHNS. Intensive search in Alberta did not reveal any other site where L. athabascaHNS would occur.
We point out that quite a number of ant species in fact are extremely rare, or better to say, inhabit very restricted ranges, or the ranges may be subdivided into a few widely scattered small plots. For example, Leptothorax pocahontasHNS had been collected in August 1977, a few kilometers upriver of the L. athabascaHNS site, in Maligne Canyon, in one very small site. One of the authors (A.B.) had found it there again in 1979 (Buschinger 1979) and 1993, J. Heinze had collected it in the very same place in 1988, and also S. Lindgren took specimens from this locality in July 2002 and 2003 (Lindgren year unknown). In all instances L. pocahontasHNS was only found in the type locality and nowhere else in spite of intensive search in similar places along the Athabasca River. Leptothorax faberiHNS had been found only once, in 1979, in Jasper NP, and on all later occasions (see data for L. pocahontasHNS) we were unable to rediscover this species. One host colony with one queen of L. faberiHNS had been found, not far from the L. athabascaHNS site. Temnothorax fragosusHNS is a clearly separate species. A number of complete colonies had been found near Jasper in 1979, in quite an ordinary habitat at the foot of a moraine, beneath pebbles. No colonies were found in any other place, neither in the year of its detection (1979), nor in subsequent years.
Hence, at least four species of formicoxenine ants have been found as yet exclusively in a comparatively small part of Athabasca River valley near Jasper. Moreover, other species were detected in this same area that had been recorded from only a few but very distant localities. One of these is Leptothorax wilsoniHNS, a social parasite living in nests of " LeptothoraxHNS sp. B" (cf. Heinze & Buschinger1987, 1988). Leptothorax wilsoniHNS had been described from eastern North America: USA: New Hampshire, Cheshire Co., and from Canada: Quebec, Parque National des Grandes Jardins, and New Brunswick, Westmorland Co. (Heinze 1989a). It has been discovered several times, in July 1993, in Jasper NP, and in USA: Montana, south of Glacier National Park (Buschinger & Schumann 1994). Most recently one specimen had been detected in Alaska (P.S.Ward, in litt.).
What about the reasons for rarity in Leptothorax athabascaHNS and the other exceptional species found in the Athabasca River valley? As far as we could recognize, there were numerous places along Athabasca River that were looking quite exactly like the type locality ofL. athabascaHNS. It is mere speculation to assume that slight differences in exposition, in the flooding regime, and in competition with syntopic LeptothoraxHNS species may be responsible for the very local occurrence ofthis species.
Perhaps, at the end of the Ice Age, a comparatively rapid colonization of the area may have occurred, along the valleys that commonly extend in North-South direction. We may speculate that the populations in the comparatively short time have not yet finally settled; that certain species are still increasing, others diminishing due to competition. Leptothorax athabascaHNS thus may be secondarily restricted to one or a few sites where they escape competition due to nesting in rock crevices where they can survive flooding. It may be suspected that larger populations of L. athabascaHNS can be found farther north in the North American Rocky Mountains.
Anyhow, as is true for most ant genera, much more field research will be necessary to establish the ranges of the North American species of LeptothoraxHNS.
Found most commonly in these habitats: 1 times found in river bank just upriver of Athabasca Falls.
Collected most commonly using these methods: 1 times collected in rock crevices on the south-exposed river bank.
Elevations: collected at 1200 m

Spiced Pumpkin Pie Marshmallows
Those of you who've been reading this babble for years on end (all nine of you!) may remember my having mentioned The Fat Pack in passing here and there. The Fat Pack consists of some close friends who are mostly if not entirely New Orleans fanatics and food fanatics, especially when it comes to pork, and especially when it comes to bacon. "Make mine bacon-wrapped" is our unofficial motto; the Latin version, "Fac meum lardo involvit" (I think) will be one of the mottos on our personal coat of arms, if Wes and I ever get around to designing one. (The other will be "Bibo ergo sum.")
The Fat Pack has also had a tradition for many years — Second Thanksgiving. This takes place on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, three days after the official holiday. The primary motivation behind it is to 1) see each other on the holiday weekend, 2) have a massively fattening and indulgent meal, usually fraught with bacon, and which includes 3) no family drama. It's pretty much always a raging success.
Over the years I've also really enjoyed getting different circles of our friends together, and this year was one of the best of those meetups, achieving a critical mass of food and good times that I think will undoubtedly carry on into the future. Our friend Robb, who had met very few of the Fat Pack folk before, came along with us to Second Thanksgiving this year and brought along two dishes that flipped everyone's lids. Of course, they would have loved him anyway, 'cause he's a great guy, but those two dishes certainly cemented that love. The first dish he unveiled was a gorgeous from-scratch mac 'n cheese (oricchiette, to be precise) laden with applewood-smoked bacon … delicious, but almost too easy. Okay, we love bacon, and THANK YOU! … but what else ya got?
Well, what else he had was this, and it blew everyone away.
Robb's been experimenting with homemade marshmallows recently. If you've ever done them, you'll know that they're actually pretty easy, and about eleventy million times better than what you get out of the plastic bags from the grocery store. Basically it's just four ingredients — cold water, gelatin, sugar and corn syrup — plus a pinch of salt and some confectioners' sugar and potato starch for dusting. Easy peasy. But … there's a lot you can do with that. You can easily add flavorings, fruit purées … just swap out part of the liquid content (i.e., the water) for the liquid or purée you're adding, and bloom the gelatin on that as you would if it were just water.
The first batch Robb made were strawberry marshmallows, made from strawberry purée (fresh or frozen, and strained). In addition to the powdered sugar/potato starch dusting on the outside, the original recipe called for freeze-dried strawberries — Robb found a relatively new Trader Joe's product packaged as a snack — pulverized and resulting strawberry powder added to the sugar and cornstarch mixture. What a perfect touch.
For his next batch, he began thinking along the lines of the holidays. What fall and winter flavors do we like, and what do we like for dessert on Thanksgiving? Pumpkin pie comes to mind immediately, so that became Robb's next experiment, based upon the strawberry marshmallow recipe he'd found.
The results of that experiment — orange-tinted, squooshy, pumpkiny magic.
The had an amazing pumpkin-spice flavor, and were just as light as any other marshmallow. Delicious as they were right out of hand, when Nettie said, "Hey, let's stick these on forks and toast them over the gas flame" … well, our heads pretty much exploded at that point. These are great marshmallows, but toast them over an open flame and they're INSANELY great marshmallows.
Robb was kind enough to share the recipe with us. When you make these at home and boggle your family, make sure you give credit where credit is due!
(Unfortunately, everyone nomnomnommed these marshmallows so quickly that by the time anyone thought to take a picture of them, they were gone, alas.)
(Recipe adapted by Robb Briggs)
4 envelopes unflavored gelatin
2/3 cups canned pumpkin purée
1-1/4 cups water
3 cups sugar
1-1/4 cups light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt, about
1-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (adjust to taste), plus more for dusting
Powdered sugar and potato starch or rice flour for dusting
Line a 9×13 baking pan with aluminum foil (I prefer a pan with sharp corners, so you don't get rounded corner marshmallows). If you want thinner marshmallows that you can cut with cookie cutters, use a sheet pan. Coat the foil with vegetable oil or non-stick spray. Fit the mixer with the whisk attachment.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the pumpkin puree and 1/2 cup of the water. Sprinkle the gelatin over this mixture to bloom, or soften. (I actually mix the gelatin in, it seems to work better for me.)
In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, remaining 3/4 cup water and salt. Bring to a boil and cook until it reaches the soft-ball stage (234-240°F).
With the mixer at full speed, pour all of the hot syrup slowly down the side of the bowl. Be careful as the mixture is very liquid and hot at this point and some may splash out — use a splash guard if you have one. Whip until the mixture is very fluffy and stiff, about 8-10 minutes. Lower the speed and add the pumpkin pie spice, and let it run for a few seconds, until the spice is fully mixed in. Pour mixture into the foil-lined pan and smooth with an oiled offset spatula. Allow the mixture to sit, uncovered at room temp for 10 to 12 hours.
Mix equal parts powdered sugar and potato starch (about 1/3 cup of each), and add 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, and sift generously over the rested marshmallow slab. Turn it out onto a cutting board or counter, peel off foil and dust with more sugar/starch mixture. Slice with a thin-bladed oiled knife or oiled cookie cutters or a pizza cutter. Dip all cut edges in sugar/starch mixture and shake off excess. Marshmallows will keep several weeks at room temperature in an air-tight container.
P.S. — Before the year is out, I'll have made boozy marshmallows. Stay tuned.

Got this interesting error today when trying to install a new Gateway server. It really puzzled me. Since this server wasn't present at all in SCOM. It was a brand new server provisioned in a VMware environment. No Agent present on that server nor was it Agentless monitored. And yet when I ran the Gateway Approval Tool I got an error stating: 'The gateway name already exists as a computer instance'.
Hmm. Wait! The VMware environment itself is being monitored by the nWorks Veaam MP which is older then version 5.7 (it has to updated soon). And the versions older then 5.7 of that MP have a small issue to reckon with: whenever a VM is detected it's piped into SCOM and a relationship with a Windows Computer Object is created. Whether or not a SCOM R2 Agent is in place or not. Since this VM didn't run a SCOM R2 Agent but was picked up by the nWorks Veeam MP it turned up into SCOM R2 as an unmonitored Windows Computer Object. And very hard to remove.
The PS cmdlet Remove-DisabledMonitoringObject didn't work here so it was time for more drastic measures.
Be aware though it may wreck your SCOM database, so make a valid back up of it before you go ahead. Also good to know is that I am not responsible when your DB dies. (Anyhow, I have used this trick some times already and until now with no DB corruption…).
Preparations are key here since when the unmonitored Windows Computer is removed out of SCOM, the Gateway Server must be installed ASAP. Otherwise the computer will be back and might wreck the installation of the Gateway Server again. So in order to stay away from that scenario, prepare the installation of the Gateway Server in such a manner you can move fast.
- Create the required certificates (for the Gateway Server and the Management Servers) and install them;
- Copy the required installation files to the Gateway Server and don't forget the MOMCertImport.exe tool AND CU#5;
- Create the required syntax for the SCOM R2 Gateway Server Approval Tool and keep it at hand;
- I found the required query on this blog posting (thanks Maarten Goet for sharing). Read this posting twice so you know what you're doing;
- Open SQL Server Management Studio and make a backup of the SCOM R2 database.
The Real Deal (and now you've got to move FAST!!!)
- When the backup is OK run the query as stated on Maarten's blog;
- Check the SCOM R2 Console for the unmonitored Windows Computer which must become the Gateway Server. You'll see it's gone now;
- Run the Gateway Server Approval Tool. It will succeed now;
- Install the Gateway Server right after it;
- Run the MOMCertImport.exe tool in order to map the correct certificate to the SCOM R2 Gateway instance;
- Now in SCOM R2 the SCOM R2 Gateway Server is accepted;
- Wait until the Gateway Server shows up healthy in the SCOM R2 Console;
- Install CU#5 and be HAPPY!

The bidding:
Pass 1w Pass 1u
Pass 2u Pass 4u
Pass Pass Pass
Opening lead: King of w
The bidding and play to the early tricks tell the story of this deal. If you read it correctly, 10 tricks at four hearts do not require a lucky diamond division.
North had to decide whether to rebid one no trump or raise to two hearts. With a ruffing value in spades and nearly all prime cards, North opted for the more encouraging raise. That enabled South to get to game in quick time.
West attacked with three rounds of clubs, declarer ruffing the third as East discarded the five and three of spades. What should have proved to be a simple contract turned nasty when East sluffed another spade on the second round of trumps. With a 3-2 trump split, declarer could simply have drawn trumps and cleared the high diamonds from the table, then get back to hand via a ruff to cash the jack of diamonds for the fulfilling trick. But since West was surely short in diamonds now, declarer had to draw all the trumps before cashing the diamonds, and that would leave South with no entry back to the closed hand.
The bidding and play provided a solution to this dilemma, however. West had passed in first seat with a five-card suit headed by the three top honors. With the king of spades and some distributional assets as well, West surely would have opened the bidding. The king of spades, therefore, could safely be assigned to East, and that gave declarer a clearly marked later entry back to hand.
Declarer drew the rest of the trumps, discarding the ace of spades on the last round! Now the diamonds were cleared and then declarer exited with the table's low spade. East could grab the king, but then would have to let declarer take the last two tricks by returning either a spade or a diamond to declarer's winners.

We introduce this issue of Socialism and Democracy with the major portions of Fidel Castro's most recent speech in New York. It is rare, at this moment in history, to encounter even a ritual expression of anticapitalism, let alone a vibrant one such as this, on the part of someone who is also a head of state. Of course, Cuban society has not been spared some of the costs of its unique position (a matter on which our next issue will feature in-depth analyses by writers living in Cuba). The associated hardships, however, in no way diminish the importance of Cuba's role—vividly expressed here-in keeping alive the sense that radical alternatives are possible, and, beyond this, that a society whose members value social goals above personal gain has an extraordinary capacity for resistance, adaptation, and outreach.
The search for a popular social agenda persists throughout Latin America. While its strongholds may shift over space and time, the intellectual ferment cuts across such boundaries. Julio Gambina's discussion starts with an Argentine focus, but expands to reflect initiatives that have embraced the whole Southern Cone, including Brazil, and that have largely reversed the Left's defensive turn of recent years. The bourgeoisie's now-dominant neoliberal agenda, even when implemented by electoral regimes, has prompted so much suffering-and so broad a repudiation-that credibility within the Left is once again shifting toward those who take an explicitly anticapitalist stance. Capital's World Economic Forum (with its annual conferences in the Alpine resort of Davos) is now being challenged by the first meeting, in Porto Alegre, of the World Social Forum. At the same time, preparations are underway to confront neoliberalism's next big project (still secret in its details) the Free Trade Area of the Americas, to be convened in Québec in April, 2001. Gambina's essay articulates the growing opposition to such structures.
Fujimori's ten-year reign in Peru (1990-2000), with its distinctive blend of electoralism and arbitrary rule, epitomizes the political essence of neoliberalism, even while the deal-making that framed his resignation dramatizes neoliberalism's refusal to commit itself to any single formula for stability. Aníbal Quijano's article relates the disintegration of Fujimori's power-base on the one hand to the unacceptable social costs of the neoliberal agenda and, on the other, to the embarrassment that the regime's corruption caused for its international patrons. Deborah Poole and Gerardo Rénique describe the popular mobilizations that finally toppled the regime, conveying the breadth and depth of their underlying constituencies, whose political potential has yet to be fully tapped by the organized Left.
One of the core tasks of the global Left is to demonstrate that socialism, far more than capitalism, is the natural correlate of democracy. This objective, already noted in Gambina's article, is implicit in the political ferment of the late '80s that generated the Berlin-based "Historical/Critical Dictionary of Marxism" (HKWM). The HKWM, beyond its grounding in the original Marx/Engels texts, owes much of its viability, as Jan Rehmann explains, to its role in providing a common framework for scholars from hitherto disparate if not antagonistic sectors of the global Left. The task of blending these perspectives within a common project has enabled the HKWM to benefit intellectually from the Left's current transitional condition. What appears politically as a moment of disarray turns out, in this light, to be an opportunity for reflection, recollection, and renewal.
The articles by Mehmet Tabak and by Derek Boothman serve, in this spirit, to deepen our understanding of long-familiar terms of Marxist discourse. Tabak, in his discussion of democracy, draws on the full range of Marx's political writings to argue that they provide much more guidance for state-restructuring than has been commonly assumed. In particular, not only was Marx an advocate of popular rule (proletarian dictatorship being understood as the rule of the self-organized majority); he also offered, at least indirectly, a framework for assessing alternative structures of representation. Boothman, in comments prompted by Wolfgang Haug's analysis of praxis (S&D, no. 27), gives further particulars on Gramsci's use of that term, and then goes on to explore some of Gramsci's other key concepts, in relation both to the original texts and to the different translations. While the intricacy of the discussion might at first seem daunting, what is remarkable is the centrality, in political terms, of the interpretive issues that are brought to light.
In a final section, we begin to address the distinctive challenges now facing the U.S. Left. Although our material pre-dates the climactic power-plays of the 2000 election, it lays out both graphically (through Diane Greene Lent's photos from Philadelphia) and descriptively (through Martín Hernández's first-hand account from Los Angeles) some of the factors that will shape the building of an effective Left movement. These include: popular mobilizations building on those of late 1999 in Seattle; other grassroots efforts such as those described for Los Angeles by Hernández; the Nader campaign, along with broader challenges to the electoral system; and, from the other side, the sharpening of a regressive social/economic agenda and the persistent drive toward disenfranchising the poor and people of color-processes spearheaded by Republicans but acquiesced in by the leading Democrats. The resulting heightened polarization will continue to occupy us in future issues.
We note with sadness the death of Daniel Singer, who chose as his farewell message the very lines from Rosa Luxemburg with which he brought to a close the Brecht Forum's Manifestivity colloquium of 1998 on "The Future of the Left" (S&D, no. 25): "Tomorrow the revolution will raise its head again and proclaim to your horror, to the sound of trumpets: I was, I am, I shall always be."
