Myotis leibii
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Myotis leibii (Audubon & Bachman, 1842)
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Formerly, M. ciliolabrum was included as a subspecies of M. leibii (or M. subulatus). Based chiefly on cranial measurements, van Zyll de Jong (1985) recognized western populations of what had been known as M. subulatus as a species (M. ciliolabrum) distinct from eastern populations, for which the appropriate name is M. leibii. Electrophoretic data support the conclusion that the two taxa are specifically distinct (Herd 1987). Wilson and Ruff (1999) regarded M. ciliolabrum and M. leibii as separate species. Koopman (1993) did not recognize M. ciliolabrum as a species distinct from M. leibii, but Simmons (2005) did. Monotypic (Best and Jennings 1997).
In a phylogenetic study based on mtDNA data, M. leibii was included within clades containing both M. californicus and M. ciliolabrum (Rodriguez and Ammerman 2004). Further data from M. leibii are necessary to validate its phylogenetic relationship to M. ciliolabrum and M. californicus (Rodriguez and Ammerman 2004). Comparisons among outgroups (M. yumanensis, M. lucifugus, and M. evotis) found sufficient support for specific status of M. leibii, but sequence divergence between M. evotis and the leibii group was small (2.9%) and within the intraspecific range. Further sampling of M. evotis is necessary to establish the level of divergence between M. evotis, as well as other long-eared Myotis, and the leibii group (Rodriguez and Ammerman 2004).
|Red List Category & Criteria:

|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Arroyo-Cabrales, J. & Álvarez-Castañeda, S.T.
|Medellín, R. & Schipper, J.
This species is listed as Least Concern in view of its wide distribution, and because it is unlikely to be declining at nearly the rate required to qualify for listing in a threatened category.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|The range extends from New England, southeastern Ontario, and southwestern Quebec south and west to southeastern Oklahoma, Arkansas, northern Alabama, northern Georgia, and northwestern South Carolina (Menzel et al. 2003). Within this range, the distribution is very spotty, and the bulk of the occurrences and largest populations are in New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and western Virginia. Hall's (1981) map should be taken as potential range; there are no records of this species ever occurring in some parts of the indicated distribution (e.g., Illinois; Jim Herkert pers. comm.). This species is apparently extirpated in Connecticut and Ohio (where known from only one specimen). Elevational range extends to at least 700-800 meters in several states and to at least 1,125 meters in Kentucky (Best and Jennings 1997).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Canada (Ontario, Québec); United States (Alabama, Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia)

|Approximately 80% of the known occurrences are of poor estimated viability; just 7% are believed to have good or excellent viability. In most instances, surveys yield very few individuals of this species in any particular location.
Most occurrences have been counted only within the past decade or two and are not revisited regularly, making the assessment of population trend difficult. Many biologists believe that this species is basically stable, having declined little in recent times, but that it is vulnerable, especially in its cave hibernacula. The population at one site in Arkansas has increased in recent years, probably due to reduced winter disturbance following the installation of a cave gate.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species is most often detected during hibernation. In recent years, it has been counted at approximately 125 hibernacula. Recent surveys have greatly increased the number of localities above those known historically; the number of hibernacula may be significantly larger than currently known. Intensive cave and mine surveys have been undertaken in most states where the species occurs, but some sites probably remain unsearched in most states.
The total count for all hibernacula is approximately 3,000 individuals, with roughly 60% of the total number from just two sites in New York. Some of the occurrences probably have not been surveyed completely, and some individuals are undoubtedly missed within some sites because they are hibernating in portions of mines or caves that cannot be reached or easily observed.
This bat always has been considered to be relatively rare (Barbour and Davis 1969). Numbers are reduced in a few sites where older counts are available, and a few historical sites are apparently no longer occupied, but whether these observation reflect declines or changes in distribution is unknown. In Vermont, Myotis leibii has been consistently found in very small numbers and often not detected at all during periodic surveys of various hibernacula dating back to 1934 (Trombulak et al. 2001).
Habitat is mostly hilly or mountainous areas, in or near deciduous or evergreen forest, sometimes in mostly open farmland. In Pennsylvania, Mohr (1976) found this species mostly in heavy hemlock forests in the foothills of mountains that rise to 2,000 feet (600 meters). Unpublished data from the Kentucky Heritage Program indicate that summer roosts include caves, coal mines, buildings, and bridges over rivers (in expansion joints). Warm-season roosts include buildings, towers, hollow trees, spaces beneath the loose bark of trees, cliff crevices, and bridges. Tuttle (1964) reported two individuals found in April in Tennessee under a large flat rock at the edge of a quarry surrounded by woods and cow pastures. In Ontario, about 12 of these bats were found in July behind the door of a shed that was kept open (i.e., positioned against the wall) (Hitchcock 1955). They have been seen resting in limestone caves in West Virginia in spring and summer (Krutzsch 1966).
By far most records come from observations of bats hibernating in winter in caves and mine tunnels. Hibernation occurs in solution and fissure caves and mine tunnels (including coal, iron, copper, and talc mines). Situations near the entrance where the air is relatively cold and dry seem to be preferred (Barbour and Davis 1969), though sometimes deeper locations are used (Schwartz and Schwartz 1981). Roost sites often are deep in crevices, or under rocks on the cave floor, where the bats can be very difficult to find (Davis 1955, Krutzsch 1966, Martin et al. 1966). These bats are usually found singly or occasionally in small clusters, but many may be packed in a crevice; often they hang among other species (Marin et al. 1966). In tight places the body may be horizontal, even belly down. On cave walls, the forearms are somewhat extended rather than parallel to the body axis. Dunn and Hall (1989) noted that 52% of Pennsylvania hibernacula were small caves of less than 150 m (500 feet) in length. Like many other bat species, this one typically forages over ponds and streams.
|Major Threat(s):
Some mines may be threatened by closure or collapse. Ceiling collapse may kill bats outright or, more significantly, alter cave microhabitat enough to make it unsuitable. A few cave occurrences are threatened or have been reduced in quality due to commercialization for tourism.
Threats to summer sites are unknown, but are likely to be moderate due to alteration of riparian habitats. Conversion of forested habitats to agricultural and residential uses has decreased the amount of preferred habitat in some areas, but the bats do make use of bridges and various other non-natural roost sites.
Improper gating of caves to protect bats may result in site abandonment. For example, the large colony of M. leibii at Fourth Chute Cave, Quebec, was driven out by blocking the flow of cold air (Mohr 1976). In contrast, gating of cave entrances in other locations (e.g., Aitkin Cave, Pennsylvania) has led to increases in M. leibii populations. With its small numbers and spotty distribution, isolated colonies of M. leibii are particularly vulnerable to extirpation by chance events, especially when concentrated during winter months. On the other hand, in contrast to certain other bats that assemble in vast numbers in relatively few sites, the population of M. leibii as a whole is not vulnerable to localized events.
This bat tends to hibernate near cave entrances; hence it may be vulnerable to freezing in abnormally severe winters. THREATS TO BATS IN GENERAL: Perhaps the most serious threat to cave-dwelling bats is human disturbance during hibernation. Very low levels of noise, light, and heat from lanterns are sufficient to awaken hibernating bats, which then expend energy moving about and deplete critical reserves of body fat. When disturbance is repeated, bats (especially juveniles) are likely to perish. "By the end of the winter energy reserves may be insufficient to meet the demands of the first feeding forays, when emerging insects may be scattered and scarce, or the bats may be too weak to make long flights to their summer territories" (Mohr 1976). Such disturbance is equally lethal, whether caused by vandals, well-meaning spelunkers, or bat researchers. Intentional killing of bats in caves by clubbing, stoning, burning, bombing, etc. has been a significant cause of mortality. Documented examples are numerous (e.g. Tuttle 1979). Bats are sometimes exterminated from commercial caves, or if not, leave or move to suboptimal habitats due to increased disturbance. Poisoning by pesticides, heavy metals, and other environmental contaminants has been and may remain a significant threat. Destruction of roost and foraging habitat by reservoir inundation, strip mining (especially limestone), deforestation, drainage of wetlands, development, etc., and pollution or siltation of waterways with consequent decline in insect production are additional potential adverse impacts (Tuttle 1979). Hundreds of thousands of bats have been destroyed by natural flooding of caves.
|Conservation Actions:
There is a strong conservation easement held by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) on the second largest occurrence. TNC has a management agreement giving limited protection to the largest occurrence and one occurrence with apparently good viability is on National Park Service land in Arkansas. Several occurrences with fair to poor estimated viability in various states are either owned by TNC or are on Federal land.
Summer surveys throughout the species known range should be a high priority for inventory work. Winter hibernacula surveys should continue with emphasis on searching sites which have not been surveyed, improving counts in sites which have not been completely or thoroughly surveyed, and monitoring some portion of the known sites on a regular basis (perhaps every other year as recommended for Myotis sodalis sites) to establish baseline population trend data.

While Apple did not announce a new phone on Monday at their WWDC 2011 keynote, a lot of what Apple announced will bring iOS up to speed with Android. iOS is finally getting a dropdown notification bar, just like Android has had since day one. Notifications can also pop up in a non-obtrusive way during games; while some notifications don't show up during games, period, it's still at least non-obtrusive. Apple has introduced cloud-based data storage, including the ability for system and app settings to be saved to iCloud; this is something that Google has done on Android as well. Twitter will be deeply integrated into iOS 5, with the ability to share most everything to Twitter straight from iOS. While Android's sharing isn't as integrated as iOS 5's, it offers more options, the ability to share via the app of the user's choice, and to other services besides Twitter. Say what you will about Facebook, but it is important to a lot of people, and Apple just left them in the dust. Android does not.
Apple has also finally caught up with Android in the post-PC era. iOS 5 will finally support not only over-the-air updates (with support for delta updates, meaning that only changed bits will need to be downloaded, not the entirety of the OS), but will no longer need iTunes in order to operate. It will also support wireless syncing from iTunes. Granted, these are all things that Android has been capable of for a while, especially being free of the PC, but this should help to shepherd in the end of the PC as a necessary device. Lately, I've found myself working more from mobile OSes as they tend to be far smoother than working on Windows, for example.
The real blow that Apple struck against Android was in their music service – iTunes in the Cloud, with the iTunes Match service. This subscription service ($25/year) will scan user libraries and give them access to DRM-free 256 Kbps songs, only uploading songs not on iTunes. Considering that both Amazon and Google's services both require direct uploads and Google hasn't revealed a subscription price (if any) for their service, Apple has a trump card here. The drawback is that it still requires iTunes to access; Amazon and Google's solutions both work through the browser for listening to music, even through iOS' Mobile Safari browser.
The excitement of iOS 5 and iCloud is largely over the dramatic improvements that they will bring to the iOS user experience, even though on further inspection, this may be slightly less impressive and innovative than iOS-only users may expect. Hit us up in the comments if you're an Android-only or even a multiplatform user with your thoughts on how what Apple has announced will affect Android, and if it impresses you. We also accept replies on @AndroidRundown!

Color vision problems range from the inability to see different shades of a color to not being able to see certain colors at all. Many people mistakenly believe that to be color blind is to view the world in only black and white, but complete color blindness is rare. A color blind person usually has problems distinguishing between the colors red and green, mistaking them for the same color. A less common type of color blindness involves the colors blue and yellow. Causes Color blindness is caused by cells in the retina that incorrectly process colors. Specialized cone cells, which are responsible for color vision, lack the ability to send the correct signals to the brain. Color blindness is usually hereditary. About eight percent of men and one percent of women are color vision deficient. More males are affected by the disorder than females. Occasionally, certain eye diseases cause color blindness, referred to as "acquired color blindness." Aging can also cause the disorder; as the lens darkens with age, older people may find it difficult to distinguish colors. Symptoms The main symptom of color blindness is difficulty distinguishing between red and green or blue and yellow. Parents will often suspect color blindness when their child has difficulty learning colors. Children having problems at school should be tested for color blindness, as many learning materials rely heavily on students being able to differentiate between colors. Diagnosis The most common test for diagnosing color blindness is the Ishihara test. This quick and simple test consists of a series of pictures made up of colored dots. Among the dots is a figure, usually a number, made up of dots of a different color. A person with normal color vision will be able to see the number, but a color blind person will see a different number or no number at all. Another test used to diagnose color blindness is called an arrangement test, in which the patient is asked to arrange a group of colored chips in a particular order. Treatment Unfortunately, there is no cure for color blindness. People with color vision deficiencies, however, learn ways to cope with the disorder. Patients usually teach themselves how to differentiate between different colors and shades of colors. Some doctors prescribe color-corrective lenses, depending on the severity of the color vision deficiency. Additionally, computer software has been developed to aid those with color vision disorders.

A wonderful piece that includes a shadow box fit with museum glass, a deep rustic frame, and a raised float!
"Certain symbols within the Aboriginal modern art movement retain the same meaning across regions although the meaning of the symbols may change within the context of a painting. When viewed in monochrome other symbols can look similar, such as the circles within circles, sometimes depicted on their own, sparsely, or in clustered groups. Depending upon the tribe of which the artist is a member, symbols such as campfire, tree, hill, digging hole, waterhole, or spring can vary in meaning. Use of the symbol can be clarified further by the use of colour, such as water being depicted in blue or black.
Many paintings by Aboriginal artists, such as those that represent a "dreamtime story", are shown from an aerial perspective. The narrative follows the lie of the land, as created by ancestral beings in their journey or during creation. The modern day rendition is a reinterpretation of songs, ceremonies, rock art and body art that was the norm for many thousands of years."

Islanders in must-win mode vs. Capitals
It's take two or it's over, as 5-1 defeat has N.Y. trailing 3-2 in the series
With the crowd's raucous chants of "We are louder!" ringing throughout a lopsided third period, a group of unheralded scorers put the Washington Capitals on the verge of a playoff series victory.
Dominating despite zero points from Alex Ovechkin or Nicklas Backstrom, the Capitals beat the New York Islanders 5-1 Thursday night to take a 3-2 lead in the first round, with rookie Evgeny Kuznetsov scoring twice and defenseman Karl Alzner adding a goal and an assist.
The Capitals can end the best-of-seven Eastern Conference series by winning Game 6 at New York on Saturday, in what could be the Islanders' final game at Nassau Coliseum before they move to Brooklyn next season.
Thursday's third period began with Washington ahead only 2-1. But Kuznetsov, Brooks Laich and Jason Chimera found the net in quick succession, and Islanders goalie Jaroslav Halak was yanked with 11 minutes left in the game after allowing five goals on 35 shots.
And to think: The Islanders took a 1-0 lead in the first period.
Washington goalie Braden Holtby finished with 22 saves.
There was much chatter leading up to Game 5 about whether a big check by Washington's Tom Wilson on Lubomir Visnovsky in the second period of Game 4 was clean. Visnovsky, who has a history of concussions, did not travel to Washington for Thursday's game.
It took less than 51/2 minutes for Wilson to find himself in a full-on fistfight with New York's Anders Lee. The punches put both in the penalty box, left Wilson with a bloody mouth — and appeared to stir the Islanders. All of 26 seconds later, the visitors led 1-0 on Josh Bailey's shot into the upper corner of Holtby's net from the edge of the left circle off an assist from captain John Tavares.
At about the nine-minute mark, though, Washington tied it on Kuznetsov's first career playoff point.
Washington kept up sustained pressure on offense and, for a while, Halak was able to preserve the 1-all tie. The goalie stopped Chimera on a 1-on-1 breakaway in the first period, then made a pair of legs-spread, sitting-on-the-ice saves on close-range shots by Jay Beagle and Kuznetsov early in the second.
But 101/2 minutes into that period, Alzner put the hosts ahead to stay, 2-1, with his second goal of the series. Troy Brouwer's initial shot was stopped, but not held, by Halak. Before the goalie could smother the puck, Brouwer poked it free, curled behind the net and passed to Alzner at the front of the left circle.
Lightning 3, Red Wings 2 (OT): Tyler Johnson led a Tampa Bay rally late in regulation, then scored 2:25 into overtime for the Lightning, who tied the series at 2-2. The Red Wings led 2-0 in the third period before Johnson scored with 5:26 remaining. He then assisted on Ondrej Palat's tying goal 77 seconds later. Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson scored in the second period for Detroit. Andersson's goal came in fluky fashion when goalie Ben Bishop knocked it in off the crossbar.
Predators 5, Blackhawks 2: Filip Forsberg scored a hat trick and James Neal added a goal and assist for Nashville, which staved off elimination. Chicago leads the series 3-2 with Game 6 at Chicago on Saturday night. Colin Wilson scored a power-play goal for the Predators. Brad Richards and Kris Versteeg scored for Chicago.

WASHINGTON --Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling for Israelis as well as the Palestinians to make compromises in the pursuit of an enduring peace. Netanyahu spoke Thursday at the start of the first face-to-face Israeli-Palestinian negotiations in nearly two years. He directed some of his remarks to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, calling him a partner for peace.
With each delegation seated on opposite sides of a U-shaped table in the ceremonial Benjamin Franklin Room, the Israeli leader cautioned that achieving a peace agreement would be difficult. But he also spoke optimistically of prospects for progress in the coming year.
The negotiations face numerous obstacles, not least renewed violence and provocations from Israelis and Palestinians opposed to the goal of an independent Palestine and a secure Israel.

Twinkle Stars
I've made it in several different colors of size 11 seed beads, but have used 3mm rainbow clear bugle beads in all of them. The bugle beads reflect the color of the beads around them, giving a little extra sparkle.
The pattern is available at BeadPatternsBoutique and The Bead Coop.
I have a snowflake pattern in the works. I don't know if I'll get to the free form brick stitch "toys" decorations this year or not. Right now I have no ideas floating on the surface of my creativity. We'll see how that progresses as the weather cools.
Happy Beading!

|A review of work for the exhibition of Original Oil Paintings
A review of work for the exhibition of Original Oil Paintings, by Robin Gillow Boat House Hotel, Kata Beach, Phuket, Thailand
1st – 30th December 2012.
Visitors to Robin Gillow's exhibition CONTEMPLATION are invited to not only view the work being shown, but to experience it as well. Standing in front of a piece, one is drawn in, as if becoming part of the scene. Each painting has a wonderful calming effect on the viewer. Each too, has perhaps a subtle message within. Typical of her subjects, is the artist's painting Escape. It depicts an open bird cage, devoid of its occupant or any sight of it, an old rickety bicycle and a broken wooden fence with an endless backdrop of rolling hills and billowing heavens. Has someone left, leaving behind their hint of humanity or does the bicycle belong to the person visiting? Did this person free the bird or did the bird simply escape when the cage's lock fell off through weathering? Perhaps there never was a bird? Perhaps it is not the bird that escaped, is it the artist's retreat and place to escape to? As with life, there are so many questions. Robin's palette observations though, do not always query it at times they almost mock it or make quiet comments, especially as how most view it, as if blind to the realities around them. In her painting 'The Tourist Observer', a simple painting, of a woman sitting on a porch watching tourists pass by and a scene often photographed by those in transit, is perhaps mocking in its portrayal. A woman watches, bemused as well as slightly annoyed as tourists stop to take photographs or meander past in lost fascination, never once, pausing to reflect on their invasion. Is the woman simply relaxing, arm on a simple stool, sitting on bare cement with legs outstretched or is their more to the pose? In many parts of Asia; sitting with one's feet pointing towards someone is considered impolite. The saffron wall, reflecting branch shadows denote the intrusion of foreign cultures and its many quietly invading paths. The simple white daisies growing from the step represent the un-flattering way foreigners symbolize themselves when travelling to foreign shores. We think we dress as flowers but are often not award winning blooms. The reflection in the door windows is one of a past life. The artist is not reflected here as it is YOU who are absorbing this scene and being questioned. Yes, there is often far more to Robin's paintings than first meets the eye.
As always though the artist's technique and style; hedging on Impressionism are easily recognizable. These current oils, as with all the mediums this prolific artist has mastered, are a delight. Bold brushwork, splashes of tropical colour, its gleaming tones; hints of green and gold and contrasting subtle blends create a wonderful blend and depict a life fast becoming lost or forgotten.
Waving acres of paddy fields, rustling rubber plantations, lotus ponds and a simpler life are not only well observed and understood, but beautifully presented. CONTEMPLATION's collection are both calming and thought provoking and well worth your escape!
Note: CONTEMPLATION will be the last solo exhibition in Thailand for at least 2 years as Robin will be studio bound preparing canvases for a show in the UK. The artist has been asked to represent her work in a charity exhibition against *Ecocide and involves internationally recognized, invited artists from around the world. They, like Robin will be donating their work for sale at the fund raising event. *(The neologism 'ecocide' is used to refer to any large-scale destruction of the natural environment or over-consumption of critical nonrenewable resources.)

There were reed beds either side of a small opening and open water ahead of me. I had been told of a plateaux out ahead which I cast one rod to and the other I dropped virtually beneath the tip of the rod on the corner of the right hand reeds. It was not long before this rod was bent right round with a very hard take from my first ever fish from Stonar. Over the next 21 hours another 23 fish were landed and less than an hours sleep was had! None of them were monsters or PB's but all quite respectably between 5 and 18lb aside from a 2lb chub and a 4lb bream. First some pictures then we'll look at rigs, tactics and what was different this time...
|I had two 'double takes', one in the night and this one in the early morning...
|12lb mirror
|18lb common
So what was the key to this success? The conditions were favourable, I was in the right place at the right time but there are 3 factors that I was in control of that previously I have not mastered:
1. Simple rigs
I am as guilty as the next angler of copying the latest rigs from magazines and wondering why they don't work for me. On this occasion I stuck with a simple bottom rig with single baits and a bit of rubber corn to make it stand out. I believe this rig will present the bait well in most situations other than really deep silt or thick weed.
|Simple combi-rig: Size 10 wide gape hook with a little shrink tube kicker. The line is coated braid with an inch stripped back for the supple section. I put a sinker on to keep it pinned down and help with hooking.
2. Consistency
Another bad habit of mine is to cast here, there and everywhere when my first choice of location doesn't produce bites quickly. The problem with this is I end up baiting over a very wide area instead of drawing the fish into one location. On this occasion I got this bang on I think and fed little and often in just 2 concentrated areas.
3. Quality bait
There is a big part of me that believes that if your bait is in the right place at the right time it will catch but this session taught me that having a quality bait really does give you a massive edge. I was fishing right next to another angler who was dropping his rig just a few feet from mine in the same reed bed and yet he only landed 4 or 5 fish in the time that I managed 24. I don't believe that I'm a better angler- evidence suggests this guy (who I shall not name) has caught many decent fish way bigger than my PBs. However, on the day the 'Fatfish' boilie, available from Fat Fish Tackle, near Canterbury came up with the goods and was obviously the superior bait.
NB - I will endeavour in these blogs not to name drop or promote brands as I find that so tedious and really resent articles pushing products down my throat. I'm making an exception here as the Fatfish boilie is not widely known but is an awesome bait and the guy who makes them, Andy Reynolds is an all round good egg. Nuff said!
So now I am left asking a) will I be able to repeat this success on my next trip if I apply these basic principles? and b) how could I adjust my tactics to tap into some of the bigger fish that this water holds?
Please feel free to comment with your thoughts on these questions or this blog in general...
Thanks for reading.

Alcatel first introduced us to its One Touch Idol at CES 2013 back in January, and at the time the company said that the new smartphone would be arriving in the U.S. sometime in the third quarter of this year. It looks like we'll get another look at the device before then, though, as Alcatel announced today that the One Touch Idol will be making an appearance in the movie "Iron Man 3." In order to celebrate the One Touch Idol's role in the film, Alcatel is holding a contest on its Facebook page in which the winner will be awarded an all-expense paid trip to the "Iron Man 3" red carpet premiere in Hollywood on April 24.
The Alcatel One Touch Idol touts a 4.7-inch qHD (960x540) IPS display, 1GHz dual-core processor, 8-megapixel rear and 2-megapixel front cameras, 1,800mAh battery and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. All of that is packed into a frame that measures 7.9mm thick and weighs 110 grams, which Alcatel claims makes the One Touch Idol "the lightest smartphone in its category." That could make the device an attractive option to anyone that values having a thin and light smartphone, and the fact that it comes preloaded with Jelly Bean means that buyers will get access to features like Google Now and expandable notifications out of the box.
Along with its red carpet premiere contest, Alcatel is teaming up with RadioShack for a promotion that'll run from April 14 through May 11. Any customers that buy the Alcatel Authority during the promotional period will receive a pair of tickets to see "Iron Man 3" after it arrives in theaters on May 3. The Alcatel Authority is currently being sold by RadioShack for $129.99 and features a 4.3-inch 800x480 display, 5-megapixel camera, 1,600mAh battery and Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread. Alcatel's announcement detailing both the One Touch Idol "Iron Man 3" contest and the Authority promo is available for your perusal below.
Nearly Weightless Smartphone, ALCATEL ONE TOUCH Idol, to be featured in upcoming Marvel's Iron Man 3 (In theaters May 3rd)
Facebook fans can enter for a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to attend the movie's red carpet premiere in Hollywood, Calif. on April 24, 2013.
Irvine, Calif. – April 3, 2013 – TCL Communication, the leading global designer and manufacturer of ALCATEL ONE TOUCH branded mobile devices, today announced the ONE TOUCH Idol, currently the world's lightest smartphone in its category, will be featured in Marvel's "Iron Man 3." Fans can enter for a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to attend the movie's red carpet premiere in Hollywood on April 24, 2013, by visiting the company's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/alcatelonetouchusa.
"Since entering the U.S. market three years ago, the ALCATEL ONE TOUCH brand has quickly grown its presence in the U.S. through partnerships with major U.S. wireless carriers and retailers," said Nicolas Zibell, President, Americas & Pacific for ALCATEL ONE TOUCH. "Being the exclusive mobile phone partner for Marvel's Iron Man 3 is a good example of the increased popularity of the brand's premiere Android devices, including the ONE TOUCH Idol and Idol Ultra."
As part of the ALCATEL ONE TOUCH USA promotional plans, the company is not only offering the red carpet opportunity on their Facebook site, but will also have an exclusive retail promotion with RadioShack featuring the existing ALCATEL Authority smartphone from April 14 – May 11. The offer will include a pair of movie tickets, with qualifying device purchase, to watch Marvel's Iron Man 3 after it hits theaters on May 3.
The ONE TOUCH Idol, weighing in at 110 grams, makes it the lightest smartphone in its category. The device's ultra-slim form factor has a large and bright 4.7" qHD IPS display, outstanding performance, and rich user experience.

The Citadelle, Quebec, Monday, October 5, 2105
I'm so pleased to welcome such a diverse group of recipients to the Citadelle of Québec.
What a wonderful place to recognize our very best!
Sharon and I always enjoy the opportunity to stay here at the Citadelle and to soak in the history of this place.
For example, just last month was the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. In September 1944, my predecessor The Earl of Athlone and Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King welcomed Winston Churchill and President Franklin D. Roosevelt to the Citadelle. It was here that they discussed ways to win the war.
A year later, they would get their wish.
The future they discussed 70 years ago is now history. Now, we are the ones who are writing history; the future is in our hands.
All of you are here because of your contributions to our country and to its future.
Because of your service.
Your keen sense of duty.
Your bravery.
Your curiosity and your discovery in the North.
This is what the Canadian Honours System does. It finds the very best of us, those of you who have given back to our country in many different ways, and shines a light on your success.
And it's up to us to share your stories far and wide.
After all, what is Canada if not the sum of our stories?
Even though Canada is preparing to celebrate its 150th birthday in 2017, our country is still young. Our narrative is just beginning. And it will be shaped by people like you.
You, the police officers who keep our communities safe.
You, the members of our Canadian Armed Forces who serve with honour and distinction.
You, the brave souls who saw someone in need and rushed headlong into action, despite the danger.
You, the archeologists who helped solve the mystery of the Franklin Expedition and who are reaffirming our connection to the North.
Today, we present the Order of Merit of the Police Forces, Meritorious Service Decorations, Decorations for Bravery and the Polar Medal.
Today, we tell your stories and celebrate your accomplishments.
Congratulations to all of you, and thank you for all that you've done.

Worcester Art Museum Exhibits New Collection of Curry Sketchbooks
WORCESTER, MASS., JANUARY 29, 2002 - A Worcester Art Museum exhibition, on view Saturday, Feb. 23 through Sunday, May 5, celebrates a major gift of sketchbooks and drawings by John Steuart Curry, an early 20th-century artist known for his depictions of rural America.
Collective Images: The Sketchbooks of John Steuart Curry features selections from 98 sketchbooks and 134 loose drawings donated to the Museum in 1999 by the artist's widow, the late Kathleen Gould Curry. Collective Images includes early sketches for Curry's well-known paintings and mural projects, as well as childhood drawings on exhibit for the first time. Curry's work in the exhibition ranges from soft watercolors of the Wisconsin plains to exacting studies of the human figure, and from sweet drawings of domestic animals to powerful images of wildlife in struggle. A specially selected sketchbook of circus drawings will open to a new page each week. Technical materials, including the artist's drawing tools, blank pad and receipt book will also be on display.
This exhibition is not only a celebration of an incredible gift of art but an incredible record of one artist's life and work, as well, said Curator Maura Brennan. Individually, the drawings represent stages along the way in various projects, but as a collective, the images tell the greater story of how a farm boy from Kansas grew to become an important artist of the 20th century.
Sketchbooks bring together finished drawings, doodles, references, notes and information, bound together by a specific time and place in an artist's life. The collection of Curry's sketchbooks traces the progression of his work from rough sketches and studies to finished designs for prints, paintings and wall murals. The drawings show how the artist experimented with media-chalk, watercolor, graphite, gouache, pen and ink, crayon and even correcting fluid. They also document his sources and subjects-Curry often noted the reference book and page he borrowed historical details from, or the name and address of a person he portrayed.
Mrs. Curry, the benefactor of this great gift, was a dear friend of the Museum, said Brennan. She was also her husband's greatest champion, striving to preserve his art and influence for more than 50 years. Now with an extensive collection of sketchbooks, loose drawings and technical and archival materials, the Worcester Art Museum can serve as a real center for the study of John Steuart Curry and can continue Mrs. Curry's work.
Mrs. Curry, who died Sept. 10, 2001 at age 101, made indispensible contributions to the research for this exhibition, which is now dedicated in her memory.
About John Steuart Curry
Born on a farm in Dunavant, Kan., in 1897, Curry enjoyed drawing from a young age. A collection of his childhood creations, including an editorial cartoon depicting Theodore Roosevelt, is included in the exhibition. At age 19, Curry moved eastward to pursue a career in illustration, studying and working in Kansas City, Chicago, New York, and Paris. Influenced by illustrator Harvey Dunn, Curry did free-lance work illustrating Western stories that were published in Boy's Life, the Saturday Evening Post and other magazines. Settling in the artists' haven of Westport, Conn., Curry turned his attention to painting. By 1928, he finished the first painting to bring him critical recognition, Baptism in Kansas.
In 1932, Curry traveled with the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus on a two-month tour through New England and the mid-Atlantic states, sketching and, later, painting scenes of circus life. The Worcester Art Museum exhibition highlights several of Curry's circus drawings. Each week of the exhibition, a new page from one of Curry's circus sketchbooks will be displayed.
In 1936, Curry became the nation's first artist-in-residence, appointed by the College of Agriculture at University of Wisconsin-Madison to promote art in rural, farming communities. Curry juried art shows, provided support for local artists, and completed a series of murals.
Along with fellow Midwest artists Grant Wood (American Gothic) and Thomas Hart Benton (Boomtown), Curry emerged in the 1930s as an artist of the Regionalist movement. The Regionalists were linked by their depictions of a purely American experience. Between the two World Wars, America began to focus on its identity, looking to artists like Curry to illustrate American values and themes. Curry's depictions of the unique landscape and way of life in the American Midwest were seen as a welcome antidote to the European Modernism that preceded him.
Included in the exhibition are a sketch and related materials from one of Curry's most important yet controversial projects, a series of murals for the Kansas State Capitol. Some subject matter-his portrayal of fanatic abolitionist John Brown and negative representations of Kansas-prompted public outcry. A dispute with state officials prevented Curry from finishing the project, and he never signed the murals.
Curry died in 1946, at age 48. In 1992, 46 years after his death, the Kansas Legislature passed a resolution apologizing for its poor treatment of this important American artist.
The media sponsor for this exhibition is the Telegram & Gazette.

Dr. Mitchell Kornet:
I became a veterinarian because of my love of animals and the challenge of making their lives better. When I was 13 years old, my pet hamster became sick, and my visit to our local veterinarian transformed my life. From that time on, I did everything in my power to become a veterinarian. I went to a high school that had special programs in agriculture and worked on dairy farms during my summer vacations. My college years were marked with intense studying. My hard work paid off as it allowed me to follow a career path that I had long dreamed of.
I earned a Bachelor of Science degree at Cornell University and a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree at Cornell in 1979.
I came to Mid Island Animal Hospital in 1981 and became its director in 1983. I have worked throughout the years to expand the services that the hospital provides.
I enjoy all facets of veterinary medicine from internal medicine, surgery and dentistry. In recent years we have added laparoscopic surgery to the services that we offer. I strive to provide the highest quality of medicine for my patients through persistent hard work. Mid Island Animal Hospital has a comprehensive continuing education program that allows its doctors to stay on the cutting edge of veterinary medicine.
My years at Mid Island Animal Hospital have allowed me to grow and serve the community in many ways. In 1993 I engaged in clinical research and helped field test a new drug for Addison's Disease, and adrenal gland disorder. The results were published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association and in Current Veterinary Therapy.
In 1998 I became a member of the Long Island Veterinary Medical Association's Disaster Preparedness Committee. Little did we know that we would be put to the test on September 11, 2001. Suddenly I found myself part of a team responsible for sending veterinarians and assistants to ground zero at the World Trade Center site on a daily basis to care for the search and rescue dogs. We arranged for 24 hour care for the service dogs. This became my "second job" until November 3, 2001. In December 2001 I received the award of Veterinarian of the Year from the Long Island Veterinary Medical Association for my service during this critical period in history.
I have served my alma mater, Cornell University, in many leadership positions. Currently I am honored to be the chairman of the Dean's Advisory Council for the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. The council serves as an external advisory group for the dean of the College and to support the College through advice, advocacy,access and support. I also have served Cornell University by leading the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Alumni Association. I was a board member from 2001 and President from 2007 until 2008. Cornell University has afforded me a lifetime of opportunities and I enjoy helping others attain their goals. In November of 2012 I was honored as an Outstanding Alumni Award winner by the Cornell University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (http://cals.cornell.edu/get-involved/alumni/leadership-and-recognition/oaa/mitchell-kornet/)
Throughout the years I have invited a variety of community groups to Mid Island Animal Hospital to learn about veterinary medicine and the care of animals. We have opened our doors to nursery school groups, Brownie troops, hearing impaired students, and high school students. We are proud to educate our youth.
At Mid Island Animal Hospital we have a rapidly growing list of students who come to shadow us and were later accepted to the finest veterinary colleges. Several of the students have come back to us to train, and some have even joined our staff. One of my passions is inspiring and mentoring students interested in veterinary medicine. My support of students has been recognized in Veterinary Legacy, a blog written by Dean Emeritus Donald Smith of Cornell University. The blog describes my path to becoming a veterinarian and my involvement with students (http://veterinarylegacy.blogspot.com/2011/10/dr-mitch-kornet-and-tradition-of.html)
After practicing over 30 years, I am as excited and enthusiastic about veterinary medicine as ever. In fact, I am never on time for work, I always get there early. It is my privilege to be a veterinarian.
Dr. Anne Zeifman:
Animals have always been an important part of my life. As a child, I enjoyed the usual assortment of pet turtle, newts, lizard, hamsters, rabbits, and finally cats. I loved zoos, drawing and painting animals and above all, observing wildlife in their natural habitats (whale and dolphin watching, snorkeling in coral reefs, finding marmots and mountain goats in the Western mountains, prairie dogs and coyotes in New Mexico). All kinds of creatures have always fascinated me.
The idea of being a veterinarian, however, did not come to me until halfway through college. I was waffling between anthropology, oceanography, and comparative literature, when I went to stay at my uncle's farm. He and his wife, both doctors, told me if they had to do it over again, they would have been veterinarians. The idea quickly took hold and in no time, I was immersed in pre-vet courses.
I spent the next few years studying extremely hard, working for veterinarians, and volunteering on a dairy farm. My first job was at a practice where Dr. Kornet was an associate veterinarian in Queens. I admired his diagnostic skills and energy and we stayed in touch after that. My hard work paid off. I graduated from Barnard College, Columbia University, summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa and was admitted to Cornell Veterinary School.
During vet school, I did externships at the Bronx Zoo and the Oklahoma City Zoo and volunteered at the Avian Clinic treating wild owls and hawks. After graduation from vet school in 1986, I completed a one-year internship at the Animal Medical Center in Manhattan. I rotated through many specialty areas including cardiology, neurology, nephrology, exotic animal medicine, and surgery. It was a year of intense learning and honing of skills through many long days and nights. Being Night Doctor - the sole veterinarian on duty all night for all of Manhattan - as a first year intern, was a trial by fire but taught me many invaluable lessons.
Soon after my internship I got back in touch with Dr. Kornet and was pleased to be able to come to work at Mid Island Animal Hospital in 1987 where I stayed until 1990. I then worked in Westchester until 1996. At that point I was happy to return to Mid Island and have been here ever since.
Mid Island Animal Hospital is a terrific practice because all the veterinarians and staff care deeply about the health and welfare of the patients. The doctors use a team approach, working together on all hospitalized cases and frequently sharing ideas on outpatient cases as well. This constant exchange ensures that many minds tackle any given medical problem and solutions are found even for the toughest cases. In addition, Mid Island is a hospital with state of the art equipment and facilities.
It is a privilege to be able to help this community's pets stay healthy and to strive to overcome illnesses. Few things are as rewarding as seeing a joyful reunion between pets and owners.
Dr. Mary Raciti:
They say that the purpose of life is to have a life with purpose. I knew from a very young age that my purpose was to help animals through a career as a veterinarian.
My love of animals prompted me to attend John Bowne High School as an agriculture major. During this time I devoted my summers to working on dairy farms and volunteering at animal hospitals.
I received my Associate Degree in Agriculture at Farmingdale University and a Bachelor of Science Degree at Cornell University. In 1995, I proudly received my Doctorate Degree at the New York State College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University.
To further enhance my knowledge and skills as a veterinarian, I also completed a comprehensive one year internship program in small animal medicine and surgery at The Animal Medical Center in New York City. During this time I worked on specialty services including oncology, dentistry, exotics, gastrointestinal and respiratory medicine.
In July of 1996, I started working at Mid Island Animal Hospital and have been here ever since. My attraction to this particular hospital is the wonderful and caring staff, and the common goal of striving to achieve the highest quality of medicine, surgery, and dentistry. We all take pride in our work and it shows through the eyes of the animals we care for.
Dr. Barbara Crosio:
I have always loved animals, and my heart has always gone out to animals that are sick or injured. While becoming a veterinarian had always been on my mind, my interest in the arts took over at a young age, and my dream of helping animals as a veterinarian was put aside for many years. Later in life, while earning a Bachelor of Science degree at Marymount Manhattan College, I began thinking again about becoming a veterinarian, and hoped that the opportunity had not passed me by. I majored in biology, volunteered at a local animal hospital and at the Prospect Park Zoo, and was accepted into the College of Veterinary Medicine at the Ohio State University in 2004.
Living in the Midwest, I was impressed with the variety of relationships between animals and people. Growing up on Long Island, I only really knew about companion animals. In Ohio, many of our clients were farmers who depended on the health of their animals to survive. Owners of horses, donkeys, llamas and alpacas proved to be people devoted to the health and well being of these animals. My own interests tend toward smaller species. I have a particular love of cats, and am a member of the American Association of Feline Practitioners.
A native of Hicksville, I was glad to return after veterinary school, and felt very fortunate to be offered a position at Mid Island. My family have been clients for 30 years, and Dr. Kornet was an early supporter of my decision to become a veterinarian, offering me a job as an assistant before I started school and during breaks.
Helping animals is a rewarding and challenging job - our patients stretch my knowledge and teach me new things each day. I feel privileged to be working with such a great group of doctors and the wonderful support staff at Mid Island and to be part of the lives of our clients and patients.
Dr. Jennifer Robeson:
I have known since a very early age that I wanted to be a veterinarian. I have always had a love of animals and have had dogs and hamsters throughout my childhood. As a native of Hicksville, my family brought my childhood pets to Mid Island Animal Hospital and I fondly remember those early experiences. I never forgot the compassion with which we were treated here, especially with my dog Lucky, and always intended to come back as a veterinarian after finishing my schooling. I still wear Lucky's dog tags on my stethoscope as a daily reminder as to why I am here, working to help animals that are as important to their owners as Lucky was to me.
After graduating from Hicksville High School, I majored in biochemistry at SUNY Geneseo in western New York. After a brief foray into biomedical research, I decided to fulfill the prerequisite courses necessary for veterinary school. I realized that there was nothing else I could ever imagine doing with my life and the further schooling was well worth the reward of knowing that I am doing exactly what I always felt I was meant to do. I graduated from Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine in 2006 and returned to Long Island to practice. I truly enjoy the puzzles of medicine and often bring my work home with me, going over cases in my mind and sometimes out loud with my husband, sister, and father, all of whom are in the medical profession. My professional interests include internal medicine, surgery, and dentistry. I also have a soft spot for beagles and have owned a few over the years. I am blessed to say that I truly love my career and strive every day to learn as much as possible and be the best doctor I can be.
In my free time, I enjoy skiing, traveling, cooking, and reading. My husband and I are new homeowners as well and so we spend a lot of our free time working on and around our new house! I also enjoy spending time with my family: my husband, Trevor, our dogs Skippy and Miles, and our cat Cinder.

This is a textbook on applied probability and statistics with computer science applications for students at the upper undergraduate level. It may also be used as a self study book for the practicing computer science professional. The successful first edition of this book proved extremely useful to students who need to use probability, statistics and queueing theory to solve problems in other fields, such as engineering, physics, operations research, and management science. The book has also been successfully used for courses in queueing theory for operations research students. This second edition includes a new chapter on regression as well as more than twice as many exercises at the end of each chapter. While the emphasis is the same as in the first edition, this new book makes more extensive use of available personal computer software, such as Minitab and Mathematica.Gary Hynes made several excellent recommendations and discovered the solution to some key I^TgX programming problems. He also provided ... Professor Kishor Trivedi provided the solution to Example 4.4.3. Dr. Hanspeter Bieri of ... for Decision Making in Business as well as the solutions manual.
