Wood frogs: Early spring singers tune up in the Berkshires
For some, it's the first pussy willow that marks spring. Not me. I have seen them in all their fullness in January and February. For others, it is seeing the first robin or bluebird. Not me. These birds are with us all winter. Yet others claim the spring peeper to be the true harbinger of spring. Not quite, but close. It is hearing the first wood frog issuing his quacking-like, mate-attracting song that marks spring for me.
I first encountered the wood frog sometime in the 1960s while looking for early spring birds. In the open woods of the Sheffield flats, thick with shrubs and young trees, I heard ducks calling in the distance. Heading toward the sound, I was stunned at how close the "ducks" were, yet I could not see them. On my noisy arrival at the place where I was sure they must be, that they "just disappeared." Somewhat frustrated, I sat on a log, and after a few quiet moments passed the "ducks" began quacking again, only they weren't ducks but frogs -- 2-inch beige-colored wood frogs with a dark, raccoon-like mask over the eyes.
Tom Tyning, Berkshire Community College professor and noted authority on amphibians and reptiles, explains, "Frog and salamander movement is all based on temperature and rainfall. If it's above 40 degrees, but the ground is still frozen, then only peepers and wood frogs will move -- they have freeze-tolerance mechanisms that let them spend the winter just in the leaf litter on the forest floor. They can freeze and thaw several times a winter before getting going for the season.
Peepers, historically, have been heard every month of the year in New England.
"Once the ground thaws, and it's above 40 degrees, and it's very humid or raining, then many of the spring amphibians (especially the vernal pool users) will undergo their great migrations. (Sadly, many won't make it across the roads).
"If it stays warm, but we have little or no rainfall, then wood frogs will migrate anyway, especially in the daytime. They can't wait too long to get to the pools. They migrate, court, lay eggs and leave the pool in a matter of a few days; typically less than a week. Then the eggs have to incubate, embryos develop, then hatch, then try to simultaneously avoid predators and find food, then grow big enough to metamorphose [change to adult form] before the vernal pool evaporates."
Wood frogs have always been kinder to early springtime frog enthusiasts. This frog does not care about temperature, provided it is above 40 degrees, or whether it is day or night, provided some open water allows for mating and egg laying.
They spend winter below woodland leaf litter, protected from the deep-freeze during their long winter's sleep by producing high concentrations of glucose, an anti-freeze. The first warm rains call them to order. Listen for their "quacking" in woods, where they will call from shallow ponds.
For this species. successful breeding is a race against time. After a dry winter and equally dry spring they may not have enough water in the snow-melt pools they favor for eggs to hatch and tadpoles to develop into froglets before the pool dries. In such years they experience 100 percent offspring mortality.
These temporary woodland pools, called "vernal" because they appear in the spring, have no outlets and usually fill because of melting snow and winter's freezing rain.
Of the 10 species of frogs and toads that call Massachusetts home, the best known, besides the bullfrog, is the tiny, less-than-an-inch, spring peeper.
And it is always motivating to hear their first chorus, proving that a new season has come.
Anyone lucky enough to actually see a peeper can easily identify it by size and the "X" mark on the back. Unlike the wood frog, this species can be found in wooded wetlands, along shores of beaver ponds and almost anywhere shrubs and water mingle.
The American toad is another early spring songster that trills rather than peeps or quacks. Its continuous call or trill can last nearly half a minute. Together, a cluster of eager toads produce a pleasant din that appears to last for hours.

AAEP Award to Support Wobbler Syndrome Research
- Dec 8, 2009
- Topics:
Jennifer Janes, DVM, a graduate student in the Department of Veterinary Science at the University of Kentucky, was selected as the 2009 recipient of the American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) Foundation Past Presidents' Research Fellow award, which will support her project on orthopedic pathology and genetic association of wobbler syndrome (cervical stenotic myelopathy).
Janes will receive the award at the AAEP's 55th annual convention, which will be held Dec. 5-9 in Las Vegas. Janes said her research project, in which she's studying Thoroughbreds, will provide information that will be applicable to all breeds. It is in its early stages and will take several years to complete. Wobbler syndrome is a devastating disease targeting the musculoskeletal and neurological systems of horses. Factors thought to contribute to the development of the disease include genetics, high planes of nutrition, trauma, rapid growth, and decreased copper/increased zinc levels. However, veterinarians do not understand the underlying cause and details of the disease's progression.
The research is "a collaborative effort to re-examine this disease," Janes said. She is working with Jamie MacLeod, VMD, PhD, the John S. and Elizabeth A. Knight Chair, professor of veterinary science at the Gluck Equine Research Center, and director of UK's Equine Initiative; Stephen Reed, DVM, Dipl. ACVIM, of Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital; and Neil Williams, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVP, associate director at the UK Livestock Disease Diagnostic Center (LDDC).
Wobbler syndrome impacts the athletic potential of affected Thoroughbreds. It is one of the most common causes of neurologic disease in Thoroughbreds and usually does not resolve with time and rest. Given the poor prognosis for recovery, the disease has a substantial emotional and financial impact on Thoroughbred owners and the industry.
Janes plans to examine the continually unanswered questions about wobbler syndrome by using recent research developments and diagnostic technology. She will also examine the role of abnormal bone and cartilage formation in neck vertebrae, as well as identify regions of DNA and specific genes that are involved in the disease process.
"Results of the study will enhance our understanding of the cause and progression of wobbler syndrome, advanced imaging and DNA-based diagnostic technologies, and provide a scientific foundation for research on improved management and therapeutic practices for the prevalent and serious disease," Janes said.
A native of Illinois, Janes graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2002 with a Bachelors of Music, and she graduated from the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine in 2006. She completed a one-year internship rotation in medicine, surgery, theriogenology, and field service at Wisconsin Equine Clinic & Hospital. While there, Janes developed an interest in musculoskeletal diseases.
"[Wobbler syndrome] is a tough disease because of the implications of having a neurological horse," Janes said. "I felt like I wanted to ask more questions."
In July 2007 Janes accepted a position in the dual-degree program at the Gluck Center in MacLeod's Orthopaedics and Rheumatology Lab and a pathology residency position under the mentorship of Williams.
Jenny Blandford is the Gluck Equine Research Foundation Assistant at the Gluck Center.

Hitec Products UCK's Chloe Hosking sprinted to victory in today's fifth stage of the Holland Ladies Tour ahead of Dutch super-sprinter Kirsten Wild (Team Argos Shimano) and American Shelly Olds (Tibco to the Top).
After a fast and aggressive 120 kilometres of racing between Zaltbommel and Veen in the Netherlands Chloe showed she is capable of beating the best with a powerful sprint to claim her first European win of the season.
"It's been a long time between wins for me and I'm really so happy to get the win today," an ecstatic Chloe said after the race. "I've had a lot of podiums but winning is really just a different feeling, "The girls all rode really well today and it feels so good to pull off the win for them," she added.
While the race was single file for much of the 120 kilometres as teams tried to split the peloton it was 'grupo compacto' with just under five kilometres to race.
"I had Emilie Moberg with me in the finish and she did a great job keeping me protected and out of the wind. I was able to jump from Wild's wheel with about 150 metres to go and I just put my head down and hoped for the best,
"It was really the most amazing feeling crossing the line knowing I'd won after such great teamwork," Chloe said.
Hitec Products team manager Karl Lima said it was the teams last chance to get something out of the bunch sprints in the Ladies Tour ahead of tomorrow's final 105 kilometre stage in the Valkenburg region of the Netherlands, famous for it's 'Dutch-mountains'.
"In the past two days our two sprinters Hosking and Moberg have shown they can beat anybody in a bunch sprint, alternating to lead out for each other. I'm very happy," Lima said.
The six stage tour wraps up tomorrow with the infamous last stage raced around Valkenburg, an area known for it's short, sharp and unforgiving climbs.

Ryan Vogelsong gave up two runs on six hits over six innings of work in his second rehab start with the Fresno Grizzlies on Tuesday and is set to make his 2012 big-league debut Sunday against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Vogelsong threw 93 pitches, 60 for strikes. He struck out six and walked one.
Vogelsong threw five shutout innings before giving up two runs in the sixth on an soft, looping single to left, an infield single and then a two-run double.
BARRY LOVES HECTOR: If you liked what you saw from rookie catcher Hector Sanchez in his 2012 debut on Monday, you'll see him again on Saturday, at the latest.
The Giants are planning to make Sanchez Barry Zito's personal catcher. And why not? The combination produced Zito's first shutout in nine seasons.
"I'm really comfortable with him," Zito said of Sanchez. "I thought he mixed it up real well. He has a great feel back there. I don't think he gets enough credit as a catcher. He's not scared to go out there and call a pitch that may not be a normal pitch to throw in a siutation."
Zito will take the mound again on Saturday night against the Pirates. But it's possible Sanchez could be behind the plate again on Thursday.
With the Giants playing a day game after a night game and with the left-hander Jamie Moyer on the mound, we could see Sanchez catching and Buster Posey making his first start at first base.
Given the Giants' struggles against lefties, manager Bruce Bochy will likely want to stack Thursday's lineup with as many right-handed bats as possible. That could include the switch-hitting Melky Cabrera, Angel Pagan, Pablo Sandoval and Sanchez, with righties Posey at first and Ryan Theriot at 2B. Bochy could also leave Posey at catcher and start Brett Pill at first base.
LINEUP JUGGLING: After getting a day off to clear his mind, Brandon Belt should be back in the starting lineup Wednesday against the Rockies.
Bochy said Belt, who started 1 for 10 with five strikeouts after an outstanding spring, was pressing a bit.
We also could see Nate Schierholtz make his first start Wednesday.
"I need to get Nate a start," Bochy said Monday. "I know that. I need to let him get three or four at-bats."
SET THE DVR: The Giants will make their second national TV appearance of 2012 next Tuesday when they host the Philadelphia Phillies at 7 p.m. on the MLB Network. Madison Bumgarner is set to pitch for the Giants.

Notes: Barrett keeping focus on season
Free-agent-to-be says he wants to stay in a Cubs uniform
By Carrie Muskat / MLB.com
"Compared to last year, I feel like I'm way ahead of schedule as to where this pitching staff needs to go, which is a good feeling," Barrett said Sunday.
He'll have to wait to see if the Cubs make him feel even better at the end of the 2007 campaign. Barrett will be a free agent after this season.
"I don't know what's going to happen," he said. "Right now, I feel like I have a lot of work in front of me. I've been really focused on what I have to do to help this team win.
"Somebody asked me about this the other day, and I said, 'If I'm catching and we win a World Series, it will all work itself out,'" he said. "That's the mentality I'm taking with this."
Barrett still pinches himself when he puts on his Cubs uniform. He's heading into his fourth season in Chicago. When acquired, Barrett was coming off a .208 season with the Montreal Expos.
"I feel indebted to this organization for what it has done for me," he said. "It believed in me at a time when a lot of people gave up on me. A lot of people have faith in me, and when you have that faith and feel that grace extended to you, it's easy to come to the yard and be appreciative. That's how I feel right now."
He will not set a deadline for a new deal.
"This is a very good atmosphere to be in," Barrett said. "I want to be a part of this place more than ever. I will not let anything get in the way of that."
Clear skies: Arizona may be a wonderful place to be when the weather is cold in Chicago, but it's not very nice for outfielders. Balls can disappear in the bright blue sky.
"I'll tell you what, if you can play center field here, you can play anywhere," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said.
That's the plan for Alfonso Soriano, who is doing everything he can to learn center field. During batting practice, Soriano is stationed in center to get a feel for the position.
"Today was beautiful -- [the sky] was not all blue," Soriano said of the wispy clouds. "Today, I had a very good day working on defense. I'm working hard. I'm getting better every day. If something happens, I have to be ready."

Hut, hut: The Cubs have the makings of a pretty good football team. Mark DeRosa was the starting quarterback at the University of Pennsylvania from 1993-95, and he can't wait to throw to Notre Dame wide receiver Jeff Samardzija.
"He dominated at major-college football," DeRosa said of Samardzija. "That was one of my dreams as a kid playing quarterback. I just want to see. I want to see what it looks like."
The Cubs' fifth-round pick last year, Samardzija has hung up his shoulder pads and made the commitment to baseball. He's expected to make his Spring Training debut Saturday, pitching in relief. Told that Samardzija's football days are over, DeRosa grinned.
"A tiger doesn't change his stripes," DeRosa said. "I'm sure he could still catch a pass. I'm going to ask [clubhouse manager Tom Hellman] to get us a football."
DeRosa played both baseball and football for three years at Pennsylvania. He knew he was headed toward a career on the diamond, not the gridiron, citing his size and what he called "limited mobility."
How tough was it to play both?
"In college, I was out of a college baseball game at 3 o'clock, and the football team would schedule practices so I could be there," he said. "We'd practice at 7 o'clock at night. I'd go to the baseball game, shower, eat, then football practice."
Did he ever study?
"Very rarely," he said, laughing. "I was a crammer."
Fast start: One of the things Piniella wants to do is check the stats to see who gets off to a good start and who doesn't, and see if they can help the guys who struggle in April. One option is to give players extra at-bats in the Minor Leagues. Piniella did that in Seattle with Edgar Martinez.
One candidate might be Aramis Ramirez, who hit .197 last April. Soriano, on the other hand, is a career .313 hitter in the first month.
"I have a slow start in Spring Training," Soriano said. "The last two weeks, I get ready for the season. It's more important for me now to get ready on defense."
Piniella was eager to get the games started.
"I'm looking forward to it," he said. "It will give me an opportunity to familiarize myself with players' strengths and how to utilize them. It's more fun for me because then the evaluation process starts. It's something to look forward to every day, whether it's this guy pitching, or this guy hitting.
"Plus, I haven't managed in a year and a half," he said. "I need to hone my skills, too."
Extra bases: Ryan Theriot was a little sleepy after his wife Johnnah gave birth to the couple's second child, daughter Macey, early Saturday. "Everything's good," Theriot said. Macey checked in at 6 pounds, 13 ounces. ... The Cubs did base-sliding drills on Sunday. Remaining on the list of things to do are cutoff and relay throws, and signs. ... Monday is photo day, and the Cubs workout will start a little later than the usual 9:30 a.m. MT start.

Papelbon available if needed
Sox closer tossed 31 pitches over two frames of Game 3
By Ian Browne / MLB.com
Of course, the most important name on that list is All-Star closer Jonathan Papelbon, who worked two innings in Game 2 and two more in Game 3.
"I would say we'd have everybody," Francona said. "I'm not going to run Pap out there for two innings. I reserve the right if somebody goes out there and says they're stiff, but I don't think that. I think we're going to be OK."
Papelbon threw 31 pitches in Game 3, which was actually two less than Angels closer Francisco Rodriguez threw in his one inning of work.
"It's October 6 or whatever, you know," Francona said. "They understand what we're playing for. I'm sure the Angels do, too. They're in the same boat."
Mr. Zero
Manny Delcarmen went 1 2/3 innings in Game 3 after not working in the first two games.
"I thought Manny Delcarmen was as good as I've seen in a while," Francona said. "He threw some changeups that were unhittable coming off a 97-mph fastball, and he located pretty well. That was exciting."
Lefty Hideki Okajima turned in one scoreless inning. Justin Masterson, who has pitched every game in the series, went 1 1/3. Javy Lopez pitched one inning and took the loss.
The Red Sox also have starters Paul Byrd and Tim Wakefield available as relievers, as neither veteran was in the rotation for this round.

Salary Anomalies Policy and Procedures
Office of Responsibility: Dean's Office, ext. 4407
Historically, the number of salary anomalies that have been identified at Pace Law School and the percentage of the salary budget allocated to correcting these anomalies have been relatively small. There is no reason to expect that this pattern will change in the future.
The purpose of the Salary Anomalies Policy and Procedures is to assist the Dean and the Pace University Provost in ensuring that salary anomalies are corrected and that the procedures for identifying, assessing, and correcting salary anomalies are applied fairly and consistently.
This policy shall ensure that faculty members with similar tenure at the law school who provide equal or similar teaching, scholarship and service to the law school are compensated in an equitable manner. This policy is intended to adjust significant disparities and not to serve or to replace the annual merit increase available to faculty in respect of annual performance reviews.
General Procedures
The Provost, upon recommendation from the Dean, shall correct faculty salary anomalies for those faculty members whose salaries are significantly lower to those of similarly situated faculty members. The Dean shall appoint a Committee, which will advise him or her regarding anomalies in the salaries paid to full-time faculty members. The Committee will provide advice only to the Dean and to no other person or group. It is within the discretion of the Dean to make this advice available to other parties.
All actions and proceedings of the Committee will remain confidential and no record of its deliberations will be released to any other body. The advice that the Committee provides to the Dean will include specific recommendations for action to be taken in the case of any salary anomalies identified by the Committee and a general description of the basis for these recommendations. The Committee will provide a written annual report to the Dean and to the Provost summarizing its work during the previous year.
Composition of the Committee
The Committee will consist of three regular full-time faculty members of the Pace Law School.
- The Committee will have access on a confidential basis to salary data (not including administrative stipends) for all regular full-time faculty members of the Pace Law School except the Dean.
- No later than February 28th of any year, any faculty member may make a formal request to the Dean for an adjustment to correct a perceived salary anomaly. The Dean shall refer the request to the Chair of the Committee,
- The request shall include all relevant material to be considered by the Committee in light of this policy.
- The Dean may make a recommendation to the Committee, as part of the annual salary review, regarding a perceived salary anomaly. The recommendation may be made in response to a request from a faculty member or on the initiative of the Dean. Notification may be sent to the Provost.
- Where time permits, the Dean will refer all recommendations regarding perceived salary anomalies to the Committee for its advice. The Dean may also refer cases to the Committee that have not been identified under the procedures outlined above. If the Provost, upon recommendation from the Dean, takes action to correct a salary anomaly before the reference to the Committee, the Committee shall be informed of such action.
- The Committee will advise the Dean and the Provost on all cases referred to it, and will summarize the reasons for any recommendation it may make. In addition the Committee, on its own initiative, may make recommendations to the Provost regarding perceived salary anomalies that have not been identified under the procedures outlined above.
- The final decision of whether to approve a special salary adjustment to correct a salary anomaly rests with the Provost. The Provost will report the decision and its rationale to the Dean and the Committee as appropriate.
- Upon completion of the Committee's deliberations for the year, the Chair of the Committee will provide to the Dean and to the Provost a general summary of the Committee's actions and recommendations. The summary should include the following information: the number of perceived anomalies referred to and dealt with by the Committee; the level at which the requests for review were initiated; the magnitude of the perceived anomalies; the recommendations made by the Committee; and any other information relevant to the functioning of the salary structure and policies that the Committee wishes to draw to the attention of the Provost and the President of the Faculty Association.
- The Committee will meet with the Dean and the Provost following release of the Committee's annual report to review the current procedures and criteria of the Committee and its actions during the year.
In addition to the criteria outlined in the Tenure Document, the Committee will give attention to information with regard to comparable Pace Law School faculty members related to starting salary, length of service, tenure, gender, years since law school graduation, leadership, productivity, and current market factors for new hires. The Committee will also consider historical and current salary structures, procedures, and policies.
Anomaly adjustments should not be proposed where their effect would be to counteract decisions made previously with regard to salary adjustments or applications for promotion. Any recommendation for correcting a salary anomaly should be made only where the current salary is at significant variance with normal salary ranges for a faculty member with similar teaching, scholarship and service.
Referral of Other Matters to the Provost
Where, in its review of comparable faculty members, the Committee identifies other faculty members who should be considered for a salary anomaly, the Committee's report to the Dean shall identify such faculty members. The identification of such faculty members in the Committee's report is only a recommendation that such salaries should be reviewed and does not constitute a recommendation by the Committee that a salary adjustment be made.

Dodgers' Gordon exits with right hip discomfort
By Ken Gurnick / MLB.com
DENVER -- Dodgers second baseman and offensive catalyst Dee Gordon, removed from Saturday's game in the fourth inning with right hip discomfort, downplayed the severity of his condition and predicted he could return to the lineup as soon as Sunday.
"It feels way better now," Gordon said after several hours of treatment. "When I tried to run, it felt weird. I can't explain it. But I should be all right. I'm fine."
Manager Don Mattingly said no tests are scheduled for Gordon.
Gordon said his hips tend to "get jammed up" and he gave them a workout at the mile-high elevation Friday night with a pair of triples and a stolen base. He said he woke up with the discomfort Saturday, and believed it would loosen up as the game progressed.
But that didn't happen, and the medical staff convinced him to leave the game and avoid making things worse.
"It's a long season, and I can't just, for one game, jeopardize the season," he said. "I couldn't run the way I want to, but I'm fine. Nothing crazy or nothing."
Puig leaves game vs. Rox with hip flexor strain
DENVER -- Yasiel Puig left Saturday's Dodgers-Rockies game with a strained left hip flexor, but there were no tests scheduled, which manager Don Mattingly considered a sign the injury is not serious.
Puig said he suffered the injury sliding into second while trying unsuccessfully to break up a double-play hit into by Adrian Gonzalez in the top of the fourth inning. Puig left the game in the fifth and is considered day to day.
"I felt a stretch in the leg," Puig said, motioning toward the left side of his lower abdomen. "I got treatment and hope it's not a big issue. I didn't want to come out, but medical said if I didn't come out, it could get worse."
Puig -- the leading vote-getter among National Leahue outfielders for the All-Star Game in the most recent balloting -- said he hoped to be able to play "if not tomorrow, then Monday in Cincinnati."
"It's not something that concerns me right now," he said. "Obviously, I want to play tomorrow. It's up to the medical staff."
Valentin avoids eye damage after being hit by ball
DENVER -- Dodgers assistant hitting coach John Valentin was struck on the left eye by a batted ball in the indoor batting cage at Coors Field on Saturday, but never lost consciousness and the club said he suffered no fractures or eye damage.
Valentin was taken by paramedics to a local hospital where he was checked out, and he then returned to the team hotel and will fly with the team to Cincinnati for Monday's series opener.
Andre Ethier hit the ball. The incident occurred in the indoor cages as the Dodgers were not taking batting practice on the field for the Saturday day game after playing a night game Friday.
Billingsley set to resume Minor League rehab
DENVER -- Dodgers pitcher Chad Billingsley resumes his Minor League rehab assignment on Sunday for Class A Rancho Cucamonga.
Billingsley, recovering from last year's Tommy John surgery, had advanced to make one rehab start in early April, but felt a pop in the elbow during that game and was shut down with flexor tendinitis.
He received a platelet-rich plasma injection and slowly resumed his rehabilitation. Although no timetable has been given for his return, the All-Star break is a likely target.
Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said injured players Carl Crawford, A.J. Ellis and Juan Uribe continue to make progress, but none is ready for a rehab assignment.

Kathy Griffin: Why I Never Outed My Pal Anderson Cooper
Kathy Griffin may be an outspoken comedian, but she's a loyal friend.
Anderson Cooper made a long-anticipated announcement Monday in an open letter on The Daily Beast: "The fact is, I'm gay." His close friends immediately tweeted how "proud" they were of the award-winning CNN journalist -- including his CNN New Year's Eve co-host and good friend Kathy Griffin.
On Tuesday, Griffin, 51, wrote her own letter on The Daily Beast explaining why she never commented on her friend's sexuality.
"For years, I talked around it," the famously gay-friendly comic admitted. "Believe it or not, I don't 'out' people. It is neither my business nor my desire. Remember, folks, I am a comedian, not a journalist."
"And quite frankly," she added, "he never gave me permission to speak about something that represented the one part of his life he was not comfortable having confirmed in the media."
VIDEO: Anderson Cooper dishes with Us
Cooper, 45, explained in his own letter that he wanted to maintain his privacy partially because of his profession as a journalist. "Since I started as a reporter in war zones 20 years ago, I've often found myself in some very dangerous places," he wrote. "For my safety and the safety of those I work with, I try to blend in as much as possible, and prefer to stick to my job of telling other people's stories, and not my own."
And Griffin felt the same way. "I don't pretend to understand the complexities of the worlds Anderson moves in," she said. "But I do know that I don't want my friend to face that part of the world, where he might die a very different kind of death than someone who isn't quite so honest."
"Here's the thing: I love my friend Anderson and remain immensely proud of him," Griffin concluded. "And I'm honored, truly, that he considers me a friend. But I just want him to be careful. Of course he wouldn't be doing his job if he really were being careful. And he wouldn't be who he is."

Kony 2012: Video Aimed At Tracking Warlord Goes Viral [VIDEO]
The video is gripping. Once you hit play, you'll have trouble walking away. I did. I had never heard of Joseph Kony until I watched this video. I will never forget who he is now.
A group called "Invisible Children" uploaded this video to YouTube Monday (March 5, 2012) and in just a few days the video has reached more than 52-million people. The video targets Ugandan Warlord Joseph Kony, a man it claims is responsible for kidnapping thousands of children and forcing them to become soldiers in his army and sex slaves.
"KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice."
Watch when you have the time:

why the jets would pass on so many other talented, healthy players to take a wr who doesn't run great routes is beyond me.
BTW, where does this 4.4 time for Thomas come from? Himself or his agent?
He didn't did it at the combine because he didn't participate. The combine is apples to apples. Same surface, same timing equipment - automatic. Some of these faster times are hand held equipment. Big difference in results.
He didn't run at the combine or the GT pro day since he's walking around in a boot and on crutches after surgery on a broken foot. He won't be running before the draft. Risky?
why the jets would pass on so many other talented, healthy players to take a wr who doesn't run great routes is beyond me.
That's just one. Here's the deal.
THOMAS is no big deal. He's hurt and undiscipled from a team that doesn't throw. He has a PHONY time. Learn to run routes? Really? Guys that know HOW to run routes struggle coming out.
We're you one that wanted DHB last year? Wow, look at the speed. Certainly. How'd old DHB work out?
Give you a break? One draft board is as good as another. I said one of many who thinks the guy is nowhere near first round. You want to draft damaged goods? Without knowing if he's healthy? That's bright.
Further, a WR in the first? To do what? Come in on third and 12 to run the slot? NO!
Or is fantasy football what you want. The real deal is different.
let's forget about the fact the guy is a dominant, game controling receiver who has basically been GT's only option in the passing game three years and projects as a number one receiver at the next level....
I mean who would want a player like that???
So here is this legendary WR - a potential Jerry Rice, a truly great prospect. Orange Bowl. Shut down. ZERO catches - ZERO YARDS. That is what is generally referred to as a choker.
When it's on the line, he fails. No just a little but totally. That is lack of something. Maybe lack of character.
Compare him to Shipley who, while of lesser talent, produced under pressure and broke his butt.
Thomas may lack heart and character. A Gholston at WR. This year's DHB?
I can appreciate the fact that you may not like Thomas but you got to come back with more than the fact he "choked" in a game here or there, the allegation he lacks heart (which can be easily dismissed just by watching how this guy goes up and competes for the ball in crowds nevermind his downfield blocking which is sensational) or something that was written on a reactionary homemade website...

im not sure the Jets go WR in round1... but if they do...
in the last couple days Arrelius Benn has really started to appeal to me
had 20 reps of 225 at the combine, i think tops for Wr
ran a 4.4 at Illinois pro day yesterday and other good workout numbers (i think over 37 inches vertical)
unlike Bryant or Thomas has been able to work out this draft off season. Isn't injury prone...
is a big 10 guy, the Jets seem to gravitate toward the big 10 for whatever reason.
has been a big time prospect basically since he arrived on campus... regus benn.... my first round wr binkie of the week...
the only people who we should care about having us taking are Mike Tannenbaum and Rex Ryan, ON DRAFT DAY. anything else is just wild speculation, wild speculation from "analysts" which in turn brings about wild speculation from fans. NOBODY KNOWS WHO THE JETS ARE GOING TO DRAFT, hell, the Jets don't even know who the Jets are going to draft, especially considering there's 28 teams in front of them.
what i really want to know is, what newborn baby Mel Kiper thinks has all the tools to go number one overall in the 2032 NFL draft. that's what i really want to know.
Pat Kirwan updated his mock draft today and has Demaryius Thomas going to Seattle at 14 and Dez Bryant going to the Jets at 29. He says Thomas will shoot up draft boards once he gets healthy.
The only reason Thomas hasn't already shot up the draft boards is because of the injury. He would've destroyed the combine.
He's got top 10 ability, just needs some polish. He wasn't going to get better by staying another season at GT, so getting him at 29 would really classify as buying low IMO for a player that could become Andre Johnson or TO in two years.
Bowl game. Iowa. He looks like a bum. That's not a character issue?
All the talent (which is still a question) does not compensate for lazy or disinterested.
And where is your proof that he runs the time that is said. He did not run anywhere. Is it made up?
And your rationale for taking him in the first? Please enlighten me and others. The Jets have 2 outstanding WRs. What is the third (a first rounder) for? Is this to be AIR SCHOTTY? We all saw how that worked out last year. The Jets are #1 in rushing. BUT YOU , O EXALTED ONE, want to change that to "Bombs Away" ala Bress, Manning, Brady and Favre. The Jets may throw more this year, but they will not be a wide open - unleash Sanchez " team. If so forget 12-4. 9-7 repeat.
It's pretty simple. Many people are projecting him as a top tier #1 target. His work ethic has never come into question as far as I've read. He was shut down in the Bowl Game. It happens, especially when he's the ONLY PASSING OPTION on the ENTIRE TEAM that runs a triple option offense. Please explain how getting shut out in a game is a character concern?
Maybe he isn't exactly what the Jets need right now. But Braylon's future here is far from certain. And the Jets are going to move more towards a balanced offense as Sanchez shows progress as a passer. Players like Thomas can make MC's job much easier because he can go up and get the ball. And drafting is more about a year or two down the road than it is about right this second than you seem to think.
I guess the Jets should just load up on the Andre Roberts and Shipleys of the world instead.

gentlemen, gentlemen. Unless Bryant slips to 29 (not going to happen) or Benn or Tate slip to 61 (not going to happen), then we're taking Alexander in the 4th, or Brown in the 5th... Its just that simple.
The real question is which two key defensive players do you want with our two first picks.
Hey, that's what lots of people do here. They get pissed off at the Jets and each other. 42 years gets people passionate. As long as we don't OVER insult each other or use "language".
Nobody's future with the Jets is certain. Sanchez could get another knee. I am just striking the idea of balance and observing what other successful teams have done. The Jets have two very good starting WRs. I'm glad you've read other points I have posted because yes, I believe a guy like Shipley or Roberts is the way the Jets need to go. They satisfy (hopefully) a need now. A big time #1 does not. Future need which may never occur. Edwards may be here for years. If not, get next years stud.
How many teams have two receivers like the Jets and draft another in round one?
I like a DE. Someone may like a OLB. I can't kill him on that. I think the Jets are fine now at S. CB? Revis is probably the best in the NFL. And now Herm says Cromartie is the best athlete plus Rex loves him. I think CB at 29 is wastefull even though there are good ones who will be there. Things may change in the next 4 weeks. The Jets may get a great cut OLB. If they then do WR at 29, it at least does not detract from a more pressing need because a DE can be had at 61. IMO.
Benn has big time value as far as I'm concerned. He should be around for our spot, I think.
He did next to nothing in 3 years of college. Williams is garbage, but he's not the whole reason why Benn averages about 2 TDs a season. He never scored more than 3 receiving TDs in a season.
It's not like he didn't have any opportunity. He caught plenty of passes (so Juice must've made a good throw from time to time) and didn't show any ability with the ball in his hands. How, all of the sudden, will this kid become a playmaker in the NFL if he couldn't in college?

I would like to share with you a quick and simple way to create your own edgy cuff. I used two of my favorite items to create this cuff, leather and nail heads.
I used:
- ¼ yard of 81503 Gun Metal/ Ivory (to order please call 1-800-9-mjtrim)
- one package of Spike Nailheads
- Sew on Snaps (439320) (to order please call 1-800-9MJTRIM
- Start by measuring your wris
- Take that measurement and add one inch
- On the back of the leather sew on one side of the snap ¼" from the edge. On the face side of the leather at the opposite end sew the other sides of your snaps ¼" from the edge.
- Apply your nail heads to the leather. Mark points to the back of the leather where you would like your nail heads to lie. Since the leather is thick you will need to use a Brisk-set Rhinestone Setter with nail head adapter to apply your nail heads. Be sure to use the correct adapter for the size nail head you use.

BRUNSWICK, Ga. - A 47-year-old Waycross man was sentenced Monday to 27 years in prison for his role in a cocaine trafficking ring.
Rudolph Orange was the lead defendant in a nine-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in June 2011.
"Whether in the metropolitan areas or the smaller towns within our district, the United States Attorney's Office will prosecute those who push poison in our communities to the fullest extent of the law," U.S. Attorney Edward Tarver said.
Evidence presented during a two-day sentencing hearing showed that in January undercover agents made numerous purchases of cocaine from Orange and his coconspirators. Later, multiple search warrants were executed, which resulted in the seizure of cocaine and firearms.
During his sentencing, Chief Judge Lisa Wood found that Orange was a leader of the cocaine trafficking ring. In addition, Orange was found to be a "career offender" and therefore subject to an increased sentence based upon his three previous felony drug convictions.
Wood previously sentenced four other Waycross residents for their roles in the drug trafficking conspiracy. Shawn Flanagan, 41, and Roshan Boyd, 27, were sentenced to more than five years in prison; Terrance Taylor, 49, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison; and Carol Plummer, 43, Orange's wife, was sentenced to nine months in prison and three years of supervised release.

Options to achieve this include using a light bar or wiring into the towed vehicle's wiring system.
Light bar
The easiest, though not the most visually appealing, option is to attach a magnetic or strap-on light bar to the rear of the towed vehicle. The wiring routes forward to a plug and taps into the motorhome's wiring system near the hitch.
Light bar kits do not require the owner to tap into the towed vehicle's wiring system. This can be important if the towed vehicle is equipped with an antilock braking system (ABS), since most vehicle manufacturers do not like the brake light wiring to be modified.
Wiring into the towed vehicle's wiring system
If you are going to use the towed vehicle wiring, the most practical thing to do is to purchase a light wiring kit from a tow bar manufacturer or an RV component supplier.
Do-it-yourselfers can procure individual components and tackle the project themselves. The most significant component is a diode that is installed in the wiring to prevent current from going "back" to the turn signal switch.
If in doubt about diodes and circuits, seek the advice of an RV service technician or automotive wiring specialist.

A project to transform a tree stump in Buxton's Pavilion Gardens into a work of art is now underway.
The beech tree by the toddlers play area had to be felled some years ago and plans to give it a new lease of life have been in development since then.
The Friends of Pavilion Gardens group has raised money for the carving via events and grant applications and worked with tree artist Andrew Frost and High Peak Borough Council to get the scheme off the ground.

And I've figured out a little bit more about how my project with Mark Chignell fits into the grand scheme of things!
You see, I'd like to make it easy for people to collect and share Internet resources that they've found useful. For example, consultants in large software companies should be able to find out which documents other consultants in their group found useful. They should be able to find experts on a given topic, and they should be able to explore other people's interests too.
Although several web-based services allow social search and discovery, they haven't yet been widely adopted. My thesis will give me time to think about what we can to do make these systems easier to use. My human-computer interaction coursework will teach me how to measure the effects of the changes we make to the interface. My background in programming and computer science will allow me to quickly prototype new interface designs.
And the grand scheme of things?
I think it would be fantastic if teachers could have that kind of network. Imagine if I could filter my search for programming exercise ideas according to what other introductory computer science teachers found useful, or if I could explore what other people found useful.
Imagine if teachers could choose a set of useful webpages and make it easy for students to prioritize those pages when searching. Imagine if students could contribute their own hyperlinks. I think that would be really cool.
But the interface needs to be much simpler, and it needs to be robust and accessible. We can't rely on constant high-speed Internet connections. Consultants use laptops and teachers in the provinces might connect only once in a while. Both sets of people are Really Busy and don't have the time or patience to muck about with complicated interfaces. It needs to be simple and distributed, and it needs to pack a lot of value.
That sounds like a great challenge. That's what I want to do, and I can see how it might be useful. If only because I would _love_ to know what other teachers bookmark, and I want to have a quick and easy way to tell people about interesting websites without flooding their mailbox...
Mmkay. I'll formalize this after I wake up, but I think I'm onto something here.

An hour after I submitted it, I decided to try the somewhat shady DOC - RTF - DOC-and-unprotect trick. That worked, and I finally got to edit the document.
Of course, I didn't have a copy of my application data any more. Didn't get saved in the bloody Microsoft Word document. ARGH. And I didn't think of printing off another copy for my records. Lesson learned: always print applications twice.
I'm planning to wander over to the admissions office early tomorrow morning and ask if I could photocopy my application for my records. I'll mention the problem I had with the font size on the document. If they think it might be a big thing, then I can spend the rest of the morning feverishly retyping the form, getting rid of all the fields and making sure the font size is just right.
I should also go and ask my supervisor to fax a copy of his reference letter.
Right, that sounds like a Plan.
Today: lots of checking.

So he didn't have to have the kidney removed? That's good news! How long will he stay in the hospital? I'm a little confused because I think you called him your grandson but you called his mother your niece. Did I get that wrong?
So sweet. Thanks for sharing.
Vinton, Virginia
Hopefully the surgery and stents will have the kidney back to functioning normally really soon. In a child that young the recuperative powers are amazingly strong. Shame on mom and dad to let this get to the point that Matthew was in that much pain before they would even consider surgery. Sounds like they need a good shake to get the circuits working again. Seems there may be a short circuit in the ole hat rack somewhere.
nancy, we raised sam's two nieces, their kids are our grandkids. they call us dubby and papa sam, same as our "real" grandkids.
when we knew we were getting the girls for sure, we sat our two down and explained that when the nieces moved in, they were family and would be treated like and loved as much as our own kids. not so easy when they were teenagers, but i didn't much like our two as teens either. they are now all 4 beautiful, independent, and more important, nice young women. we sure got lucky.

Here's an oldie. Get so tired of the news. I don't think there is any GOOD news anymore. Anyway, I was channel surfing and found Ozzie and Harriet. Did you know it only lasts 20 mins? Seems like an episode lasted longer back in the day. Sure took me back.....
Thinking of going back down to Woodstock today and getting the four chairs I found yesterday for the kit. table we got yesterday. A friend who deals in antiques said $40.00 for those old chairs is a bargain. So, if I can convince Jim to drive down there again today.
Haven't gotten my Bible study homework done and the class is tonight!! I have started it several times but am just really distracted right now. Don't know what thats about but I have a feeling it deals with this upcome visit to the surgeon.
Gini, proof that God answers prayer. Not that we need proof but there it is......! So, happy. Glad the Dad embarrassed himself. Bet that made your day. What a disgusting thing to do.
R.I.P. Andy Williams. I will always hum Moon River just as I have since that song first came out. I can remember as a girl, I wanted to marry you. But, when you married Noelle, I loved her so. I miss, still, your Christmas specials on TV. This is a sad day, indeed. : {
Gini, prayers going up for Matthew and all of you who may need it a bit more than he does. Scissors, duck tape, sitting on hands, dippity-doo in-laws, passive/aggressive niece, I'm sure y'all need it more than he does. All kidding aside, thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless and (((((HUGS)))))

Well got the pig loaded up and my DSIL is taking her to the locker plant for me. She had me covered head to toe in pig S--t, she was being contrary and didn't want to get in the trailer. Oh but I will get the last laugh, when I have those pork chop frying in a pan

Weee-weee-weee. Hee-hee-hee.

Ditto that! From the sounds of it, Gini would have found a cork more useful then a sharp object,

Gee, Leslie...do you blaim her?? I woudn'ta wanted ta go neither!!!!!
Last night DS1 started yelling like the world was coming to an end when I sent him in to get ready for bed. A stampede of concerned parents and siblings rushed to his aid...where we discovered the source of excitment was a young mouse cowering under his bed. He'd startled it and it startled him. Chaos ensued.
Poor little thing - when all those big people feet came stomping in it made a frantic dash for the heater grate. Hubby's one quick dude. He flipped the grate closed and trapped it before it could go into the duct work, and then fetched a leather glove and ever so gently removed the little critter from the house. It's safely foraging in the big wheat field out back, where it belongs. Meanwhile, after the kids went to bed, Mom set out a trap and caught the sibling...
It was finally chilly enough last night that the furnace came on. Boy, am I glad that rodent didn't succeed in it's escape attempt! We'da had a house stinking of roast rodent.
Sprout seems to feel much better this morning. He had a low fever most of the afternoon/evening yesterday. I hate those danged shots...
Meanwhile, on the job front, no one seems to know when I am scheduled to work and when I am not. Bossman seems to have suddenly realized that I got screwed this season while he catered to his DD's whims, and he's trying to make up for it - It's either that, or he's succeeded in getting himself in so far over his head that he suddenly realized that he needs my help. He's made quite a mess for himself this month and his princess is no help at all. (Maybe Gini could come for a visit and take her frustrations out on her.....???? It'd make us both feel better. ) Sometimes It's easier when I just set my own schedule and don't worry about what the calender says I shold be doing. I'll go in today and fix what I can.

What is your connection with darkness? [pics]
Your connection with darkness is through your interest in vampires. These occult beings fascinates you immensely. Their lives are simply something you would kill for, and if you would have the opportunity to be sired, you would. Living a mortal kind of life is too ordinary and tedious. You aren't necessarly evil just because of this interest/obsession, you just can connect with them and their lifestyles. To belong to a specil group of "people" in which "superpowers" come with the deal is appealing. Though most people have a hard time understanding this, and chances are you're a social outcast. Perhaps you hate your current life and therefore developed this interest, to escape reality.Take this quiz!

Owners, tenants unite and go green together
IN AN Australian first this week, a building owner and its tenants agreed to share the cost of an environmental upgrade that will cut energy usage for lighting by 60 per cent, paying for the investment through council charges.
The accord between Australian Unity and its tenants, the State Property Authority, was designed to fix a well-known market failure that remains an obstacle to retrofitting buildings to save energy.
Owners often have little incentive to invest in efficiency measures if renters pay the bills.
''It's crazy to allow up to $2 billion in savings for the private sector to be ignored, simply because we needed a small policy innovation to capture them,'' the NSW Environment Minister, Robyn Parker, said.
While the deal, in Parramatta, will save only a fraction of that total, its design is drawing interest from across Australia, with Queensland and South Australia looking at following NSW.
Victoria has set up similar environmental-upgrade agreements involving owners and councils - tenants will only be included when they consent in writing, a hurdle that has so far proved too steep to clear, making their inclusion in repayments typically too onerous to pursue. NSW doesn't require full support from tenants provided the investment leaves them no worse off.
''Once the market sees [the agreement] operating and gets comfortable with it, we expect it to pick up significantly,'' said Ashley Robertson, an associate director of National Australia Bank. He said the bank was assembling a pipeline of similar deals to roll out next year.
The involvement of firms such as NAB is also crucial since the lack of finance has hobbled investment in energy and water efficiency by building owners.
The Parramatta agreement for about $800,000 will be paid back over five years, with the repayments matched or exceeded by the energy savings. While that savings stream reassures the bank and its financial partners, Low Carbon Australia and Eureka Funds Management, the link with council rates adds to the security of the finance.
Repayments are effectively a charge against the building, making the loan ''super secure'', said Meg McDonald, chief executive of Low Carbon Australia. ''It allows the bank rate to be lower.''
Ms Parker said low bank lending rates should add to the appeal of the accords.
''If the property is sold, security for the loan [and liability] goes with the land, so the bank is able to offer a reduced rate of interest because it is facing a much reduced level of risk compared to most commercial loans,'' she said.
