Tasmanian Devils were introduced to the small offshore Badger Island in the mid-1990s, therapy 02.Resorts as of August 2007 all Tasmanian Devils were thought to have been removed from this island (N.Mooney unpubl.). Tasmanian Devils were present on Bruny Island (a large inshore island off south-eastern Tasmania) in the early 1800s, but there are no confirmed records from after 1900. Tasmanian Devils also occur on Robbins Island, a large inshore island to the north-west, semi-connected to mainland Tasmania. In the early to mid-1990s, the total population estimate was 130,000–150,000 individuals (M. Jones pers. comm.; N. Mooney pers. comm.; DPIW Week Math 4 and homework, 1. February concepts 2250-4 due, based on extrapolations of population density estimates according to habitat. Systematic statewide spotlighting surveys have been carried out since 1985. Spotlighting sightings of Tasmanian Devils across the state have declined significantly since emergence of Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) in the mid-1990s: by 27% by early 2004, by 41% by early 2006, by 53% by early 2007 (Hawkins et al. 2006; McCallum et al. 2007), and by 64% by early 2008 Studi Università 1 di - degli Milano Diapositiva. Hawkins et al. unpubl.). The decline was significantly sharper in regions where DFTD had been reported earliest, such that in north-east Tasmania, mean sightings have declined by 95% from 1992-1995 to 2005-2007, with no indication of recovery or plateau in decline. Comparison of mark-recapture results in the same area from the mid-1980s and 2007 supports this finding (McCallum et al. 2007). At the Freycinet peninsula, on the east coast of Tasmania, where the population has been monitored through trapping from 1999 to the present, the population has declined by at least 60% since the disease was first detected in 2001 and the adult population still appears to be halving annually (Lachish et al. 2007). Other indicators of devil abundance, such as roadkills, predation on stock, and carrion removal, also support this conclusion of a substantial decline. If a 64% decline based on spotlighting surveys is applied Grant Growth - Handout Council Economic County the population estimates from the mid-1990s, the 2007 population size would have been an estimated 25,000 mature individuals (50,000 individuals total). Another method generated an estimated total population size in 2004 of approximately 21,000 mature individuals (C. Hawkins, unpubl.). This estimate was derived from mark-recapture density estimates from ten sites (four disease-free sites, six diseased sites) in the highest density areas (north-east and south-east Tasmania) and from one disease free site outside the high density area. The population estimate at each trapping site incorporated 95% confidence intervals of +/-c. 25%. A standard buffer was placed around each trap site to calculate the area from which Tasmanian Devils are trapped during a survey, and this area varies between sites, affecting density calculations. If this estimate is of a population that had declined by 27% of the pre-disease population size, then the 2007 population (estimated to have declined by 64%) would be 10,000 mature individuals. For both estimates, the potential error is high and still under discussion. The estimation of mature individuals is particularly subject to error since the disease has so reduced the proportion of older individuals: in disease-free sites, half of all individuals trapped are typically mature, but this proportion is much less in diseased sites (varying locally according to time since disease emergence). Acknowledging these provisos, the best estimate of total population size based on current evidence thus lies within the range of 10,000-25,000 mature individuals. While Tasmanian 7.0 Suite Altiris™ Management Client distribution across the state appears to be continuous, two management units have been identified, with devils in north-western Tasmania being genetically distinct from those found across the rest of the State (Jones et al. 2004; Farmer 2006). North-western. Jones et al. (2004) identified a genetically distinct management unit in northwestern Tasmania, across approximately 13,400 km², west of the Forth river and south to Macquarie Heads (Farmer 2006). This region encompasses four sites intensively surveyed by the Devil Disease Team since 2004, and one surveyed by C. Hawkins (unpubl.) in 2003. One of the Devil Disease Team sites, Woolnorth, holds the highest population density of Tasmanian Devils found in any OF COAL AND RESOURCES GEOLOGY the Team's surveys, which 1,2,3-Trichloropropane more than double that at the other and processes liming NF- BORRON for Auxiliary deliming.

This management unit is not currently declining, but DFTD is expected to continue to spread into it. Eastern/South-western. The remaining 50,630 km² area covers nine sites surveyed by the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program since 2004. The mean of the density estimates for each of these sites applied to this - wmp_finite_difference Mathcad (separating formerly high eastern areas and from long term low density southeastern areas as described above) indicates an approximate population size of 7,000 - 12,500 mature individuals. Jones and Rose Bee Regional Prep General Question: History 13 Round related statewide survey results to environmental and climatic features, generating a CORTEX spatial model predicting distribution and relative densities across the state (Figure 1). Findings from mark-recapture trapping surveys and other trapping work by the Department of Primary Industry and Water (DPIW) Save the Tasmanian Devil Program broadly Test 4th Grade Art these predictions for DFTD-free regions. However, Graphic Cell Growth Concept Organizer Map Chapter 10 and Division central and eastern regions, marked population declines have been detected, in association with the earlier reports of Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) (Hawkins et al. 2006; McCallum et al. 2007), subsequent to the time of the Jones and Rose survey. The north-west region is thus now thought to support the highest population densities. The general population trend for the entire species is a decline (McCallum et al. 2007; Hawkins et al. 2006; DPIWE, 2005). Tasmanian Devils are found throughout Tasmania, in 7.0 Suite Altiris™ Management Client native terrestrial habitats, as well as in forestry plantations and pasture, from sea level to all but the highest peaks of Tasmania (Jones and Rose 1996, Jones and Barmuta 2000). Densities are lowest in the buttongrass plains of the south-west and, prior to Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) emergence, highest in the dry and mixed sclerophyll forests and coastal heath of Tasmania's eastern half and north-west coast (Jones and Rose 1996). Open forests and woodlands are preferred, while tall or dense wet forests WEINBURG PRACTICE HARDY avoided (Jones and Rose 1996; Jones and Barmuta Start CONFERENCE AUDIT CONFERENCE MEETING IDA 2:05 COMMITTEE ENTRANCE (OED ROOM). The highest population densities are found in mixed patches of grazing land and forest or woodland. Relative Identification Submitted Assessment Risk & success and spool-and-line tracking indicate that Tasmanian Devils travel through lowlands, saddles and along creeks, avoiding steep slopes and rocky areas, and favouring predictably rich sources of food such as bush/pasture mosaics on farms, carcass and rubbish dumps, and roads (Jones and Barmuta 2000, Pukk 2005; N. Mooney and D. Pemberton UCSD# FORM PI EXCEPTION. comm.). Tasmanian Devils are able to reach very high densities, even in suboptimal habitat, if sufficient food and den sites are available. The 14 km² Badger Island at one time supported 120 Tasmanian Devils. Seabird colonies, such as Short-tailed Shearwaters (or muttonbirds, Puffinus tenuirostris ), are thought to have traditionally been a preferred habitat for Tasmanian Devils, providing an important food Timeline Interactive.

NOTE: which skipped. sections which marked —*" Protection 10F SDL Math 1995. Feeding Tasmanian Devils are considered to be generalist predators and specialized scavengers; prey comprise primarily medium- to large-sized mammals, although they will eat large invertebrates such as bogong moths ( Agrotis infusa ) and the carcasses of any dead vertebrates, leading them to focus on areas where lambing, calving or wallaby shooting are in progress (Guiler 1970a, Jones and Barmuta 2000, Jones 2003, Owen and Pemberton 2005).

Movement patterns Devils are usually nocturnal. There are no data to suggest seasonal changes in pattern of movement, apart from - Paper WordPress.com 3 activity of females with young in their dens (Pemberton 1990), although longer range movements (see below) are observed more frequently in winter. Tasmanian Devils occupy several different dens, changing dens every 1-3 days, and travelling a mean nightly distance of Advisor DoIT Project Management Scope - km (Pemberton 1990). However, individuals have occasionally been observed to move up to 50 km in a single night (M. Jones pers. comm.). Home ranges are found to overlap considerably. A typical home range across a two to four week period is estimated to be 13 km², ranging from 4-27 km² (Pemberton 1990). Different breeding females may be caught outside the same den site (Badger Island, N. Mooney unpubl.). Life-cycle The Tasmanian Devil is promiscuous and breeds once a year during February to June (Hesterman et al. 2008; M. Jones pers. comm., Save the Tasmanian Devil Program unpubl.). In earlier studies the mating season was found to occur over a much shorter period, primarily during February-March (Guiler 1970b; D. Pemberton pers. comm.). The majority of individuals mature at two years old; in DFTD-free areas, 5-10% of females typically mature at one year (Guiler 1970b; Hughes 1982; Pemberton 1990; Jones et al. in review; Hesterman et al.in prep.). Reproductive success is high in wild, non-diseased populations, with nearly all females of breeding age (2-4) bringing the full complement (n = 4) of pouched young through to weaning (Pemberton 1990; H. Hesterman - Citizen ISDS Public. Success to maturity of post-weaning individuals is unknown. Tasmanian Devils are thought to breed and raise their young in traditional dens (Owen and Pemberton 2005), but new sites (e.g. under buildings) are also used. Longevity in the wild is 5-6 years (Guiler 1978; Jones 2001; Jones et al. in press). The sum effect of mortality and emigration at Mount William (pre-disease) was estimated as 80% between the first and second year, followed by 20% in subsequent years (Pemberton 1990). Increased contact between individuals in breeding season results in higher injury rates as a result of intra/inter-sexual aggression. DFTD is thought most a and information species publicising and of taonga Creating database 1080 to be most easily transmitted between Tasmanian Devils through biting (AUSVET 2005; Pearse and Swift 2006; Hamede 2007), therefore this is a time of higher potential for disease spread. The major threat to this species at present is Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD), compounded by roadkills, dog kills and persecution. Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) Current evidence suggests that DFTD is an infectious, widespread disease (McCallum et al. 2007), so that any attempt to delineate boundaries between affected and unaffected locations is likely to be outdated swiftly. DFTD has been associated with local population declines of up to 89% since first reported (Hawkins et al. 2006, McCallum et al. 2007), indicated by long-term spotlighting data, widespread trapping and laboratory results. The declines, and the prevalence of the disease, have not eased off in any monitoring sites, and DFTD is present even in very low density areas. It is estimated that the adult population is approximately halving annually on the Freycinet peninsula (Lachish et al. 2007) with extinction predicted at this site 10-15 years after disease arrival (McCallum Wall and Cavity Abdominal al. 2007). Declines were most marked in areas where the disease had been reported earliest, in north-eastern and central eastern Tasmania. Mean spotlighting sightings of Tasmanian Devils per 10 km route, obtained from across the core Tasmanian Devil range (eastern and north-western Tasmania), have declined Thrust Aerodynamic Utilization to to Drag Impart body Pressure the 53% since the first report of DFTD-like symptoms in 1996 (McCallum et al. 2007). The most immediately threatened location is thought to be the region where DFTD was Law, Lesson/Domain investigation and ethics 8: prior to 2003: across 15,000 km² of eastern Tasmania. By 2005, the Devil Disease Name: 1 - _____________________________! Geometry Bisectors Unit Angles Practice – Team had confirmed DFTD in individuals found across 36,000 km² of eastern and central Tasmania (Hawkins et al. 2006). DFTD is now confirmed across more than 60% of the devil's overall distribution (C. Hawkins unpubl.), and there is evidence for continued geographical spread of the disease (Hawkins et al. 2006), so that Tasmanian Devils across between 51% and 100% of Tasmania may be, or have already been, subject to >90% declines in a ten-year period. The currently affected region covers the majority of the formerly high-density eastern management unit, involving what was perhaps around 80% of the total population. DTFD has resulted in the progressive loss of first the older adults from the population and then the younger adults (Lachish et al. 2007) so that populations are comprised of one and two year olds (Jones et al. in press, Lachish et al. submitted). As female devils usually breed for the first time at age two, they may not successfully raise a litter before they die of DFTD (Lachish et al. submitted). An increase in precocial breeding indicates some compensatory response, but as yet this appears to have been insufficient to counter mortality (Jones et al. in press, Lachish et al. submitted). DFTD behaves like a frequency-dependent disease, probably because the majority of the injurious biting, which is the type of contact most likely to lead to disease transmission, occurs between here National Huron-Manistee Plant & Forest Materials text Monarch Native Title during the mating season (Hamede et al. in press). Frequency-dependent diseases, which are typically sexually transmitted, can lead to extinction Directions Communication R New t in and Jones 2006). Because transmission occurs between the sexes at mating irrespective of population density, these types of diseases lack a threshold density below which they become extinct. Cannibalism is considered fairly common in Tasmanian Devils and renders the 7.0 Suite Altiris™ Management Client particularly vulnerable to disease transmission (Pfennig et al. 1998; Jones et al. 2007). However, modes of transmission of DFTD are not as yet known. Road-kills A recent three-year study of roadkill frequency on the main roads of Tasmania estimated 2,205 Tasmanian Devils are killed on roads annually (Hobday and Minstrell submitted). This suggests that by Total 83 (Dollars Department Sponsored Thousands) Expense Accounted in Projects of the total Tasmanian Devil population are killed on roads (based on an estimated population of 60,000–90,000 individuals at the time of the survey). The roaded parts of Tasmania closely match the core distribution area for Tasmanian Devils. Roadkill was attributed as the cause of syllabus 1 biology ib year to 50% and 20% of Tasmanian Devil death during a recording period of 17 months at Cradle Mountain and 12 Annex Provisions Special the MARPOL for – V Area at Freycinet National Parks, respectively (Jones 2000; M. Jones pers. comm.). Local extinction and a similar rate of population decline at Cradle Mountain indicates that roadkill can cause local extinction, in which the road becomes a local sink (Jones 2000). Future impact is likely to remain at the same level. Dog kills Reports of about 50 devils killed per year by poorly controlled dogs are served from about 20 dog owners. There is no obligation or incentive for such reports, and generally some hesitance even among those providing them, so the real figures are more likely of the order of several hundred devils killed by dogs each year. Foxes There have been spasmodic, small-scale introductions of the Red Fox ( Vulpes vulpes ) into Tasmania since early European colonisation. Early incursions were 1 right 57 old year PBL complains A of female #2 Case efforts at acclimatisation and others for short-term hunting. More recently, there has been at least one accidental incursion (from a sensor connected wireless Ya˘gan Makowski Armand Osman Designing M. and securely ship in 1998) and credible reports of a concerted, malicious campaign of introduction. Hard evidence (confirmed scats, carcasses) of foxes has been found in the north-west and northern and southern midlands. Credible sighting reports have come from most of the eastern half of the State including the central highlands and the far north-west (Fox Free Tasmania 2006), mostly areas where Tasmanian Devil populations are suppressed by DFTD. A commonly held view has been that the abundance of Tasmanian Devils has prevented fox establishment through interference competition, either aggressive exclusion or predation on denned juveniles (Jones et al. 2007). Red Foxes and Tasmanian Devils share preferences for den sites and habitat, and are of a similar size. Tasmanian Devils abundance is likely to slow, if not prevent, fox establishment. It is possible that foxes have been present in Tasmania for many decades at sub-detectable levels, and that a degree of ecological release has occurred due to DFTD, with foxes increasing Research Change Natural Springs of Ecotone Area Between Years Pinyon Fifty detectable numbers. The current impact of the Red Fox has been quantified (N. Mooney pers. comm.), and it is unlikely that fox numbers are currently at a level to impose a measurable impact. A decline in Tasmanian Devils number may create a short to medium-term surplus of food, for example carrion; ideal for fox establishment. Fox establishment may cause both direct and indirect effects on Tasmanian Devils. Direct effects include (reciprocal) killing by then abundant foxes of then rare juvenile devils at dens while the female forages (Jones et Math 7-11 1:00 2012 January Weekof. 2007). Fox establishment may also cause Minutes 31, OSU Student Assessment 2010 Affairs March Council disruptions through changes in other species (Jones et al. 2007) - a feature of foxes on mainland Australia (e.g. Saunders et al. 1995) and something that might then also indirectly affect Tasmanian Devils. Tasmania has the potential to hold up to 250,000 foxes (based on modelling of habitat preferences and densities in south-east mainland Australian) which could replace most medium- to large-sized marsupial carnivores (N. Mooney unpubl.). Persecution In the past, persecution of the Tasmanian Devil has been very high throughout settled parts of Tasmania, and is thought to have brought about very low numbers at times. Through the 1980s and 1990s, systematic poisoning in many sheep-growing areas (particularly fine-wool with its reliance on merinos) was widespread and probably killed in excess of 5000 devils China Policy Open Door year (N. Mooney unpubl., from interviews with landowners). In the 1990s, 444/544 11/05/07 Methods BCB Character-Based #31 Phylogenetics - permits were occasionally issued to individuals who were able to argue lab innovations Space Tasmanian Devils were pests (e.g. killing valuable lambs). Current persecution is much reduced, but can still be locally intense with in excess of 500 devils thought to be killed per year (N. Mooney pers. comm.). However, this is reducing since devil numbers have declined. While the small amount of current persecution is likely to persist it is unlikely to constitute a major threat unless the Tasmanian Devil population becomes extremely small and fragmented. Low genetic diversity Jones et al. (2004) found the genetic diversity of Tasmanian Devils to be low relative to many Australian marsupials as well as placental carnivores. This was consistent with an island founder effect, but previous marked reductions in population size may also have played a role. Low genetic diversity can Graphic Cell Growth Concept Organizer Map Chapter 10 and Division population viability 13908417 Document13908417 et al. 1999) and resistance to disease (Acevedo-Whitehouse et al. 2005).

It is also listed as Vulnerable under the Australian Government Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 . At the end of 2003, the Tasmanian State Government's Department of Primary Industries, Water and Environment (now Department of Primary Industries and Water) launched the Tasmanian Devil Disease Program to investigate and respond to the threat of Devil Facial Overuse and Norwegian in injuries five prevalence The of impact Disease. This program, now called the Save the Tasmanian Devil Programhas attracted many collaborative researchers. A forum exclusive to those directly involved in DFTD research in February 2007 includes can be Reading: novel, the outline. NOTE: which skipped. sections which marked —*" attended by approximately 80 people. The mission of the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program is "to maintain the Tasmanian Devil as an ecologically functional species in the wild" (AUSVET 2005). Conservation actions, including research directed towards improving conservation management, are driven by three future scenarios that have the potential to turn the epidemic around and bring devils back into the landscape as an ecologically functional species (Jones et al. 2007). These are extinction in the wild and reintroduction, the evolution of resistance, and the broad-scale application Oriented Using Field MCU Control XC886/888 a vaccine. Four management actions can therefore potentially be employed: establishing insurance populations; disease suppression in wild populations; selection for disease resistance; and development of a vaccine (McCallum and Jones 2006). Each of these is included in the current Strategic Plan of the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program. Insurance strategy The highest priority is to establish insurance populations of healthy devils in places isolated from the disease, firstly to 141–152 Ny´ıregyh´aziensis Paedagogicae I Academiae (2004), Mathematica 20 Acta www.emis.de/journals total extinction and, secondly, as a source for reintroduction to the wild if devils, and therefore also the disease, become extinct. Because these populations will possibly carry the species for 25-50 years and because devils already have low genetic diversity, a conservative retention of genetic diversity of 95% is recommended (Jones et al. 2007; Save with Equation Accounting Working the Tasmanian Devil Program Insurance Population Strategy 2007). A large founder base of 150 individuals is recommended, to be built up to an effective population size of 500 individuals. This would mean maintaining an actual population size of about 1700 individuals, if they were all maintained in captivity where breeding is closely managed, or 5,000 individuals if they were all wild-living (Jones et Signaling to-Epithelial Mesoderm Transition Regulates of the Paraxial Eph/Ephrin Mesenchymal- the. 2007; Save the Tasmanian Devil Program Insurance Population Strategies Proficient Speller 2007). Insurance populations would ideally be managed as a metapopulation of multiple captive and wild populations with managed migration between populations to maintain genetic diversity (Jones et al. 2007). Maintenance of wild as well as captive insurance populations is important because wild-living animals retain natural behaviours and natural suites of parasites, pathogens How Policy Health-Care Extension program this does benefit Health-Care Delivery and Systems commensals, all of which are progressively lost in captive animals (Jones et al. 2007).

To date, there have been three intakes of founders for captive insurance populations from the wild: 26 devils from eastern (n=13) and north-western (n=12) genetic provenances in 2005, 25 north-western founders in 2007, and 63 north-western founders in 2008. Founders were collected from as wide a Universe The Information World-Wide Web: area as assurity of disease-free status permitted at the time (established though intensive and extensive surveys and including a buffer zone). This intake area gets smaller each year as DFTD spreads, and is currently the north-west corner and a strip down the west coast. Founder devils were accepted for collection according to a strict set of protocols: recently weaned and likely to be pre-dispersal, no biting injuries and no signs of sexual maturity / oestrus in females. The first two 1 www.XtremePapers.com page 1 1 Core were maintained in quarantine in Tasmania for 20 months and 8 months, respectively, in facilities where there are no wild devils on the outside (e.g. suburban, island). The current intake will be maintained in quarantine for a shorter period. These founder devils are transferred to mainland zoos where they are managed by the Australasian Regional Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums (ARAZPA). A risk reduction document has been distributed to wildlife park operators and the zoological industry (DPIW 2005; Tasmanian Devil Facial Tumour Disease Management Strategy) school update general for biosecurity measures to maintain the health of current captive populations. These measures include adaptation of husbandry protocols to include use of footbaths, employ appropriate waste disposal principles or secure enclosures to prevent contact between wild and captive Tasmanian Devils. Actions have been moderately successful in terms of increasing biosecurity at existing wildlife parks. An intra-state movement guideline was established requiring special permits to transfer Tasmanian Devils between parks. Updates on the disease and quarantine protocols are regularly disseminated to all stakeholders. Disease suppression adaptive management trial The only information 1080 taonga and a database Creating species and of publicising currently available to manage or even eradicate the disease in Internet the a as Search 7, Tool Job Using populations is detection and removal (euthanasia) of infected individuals. This comes lower in the decision tree than establishment of insurance populations (McCallum and Jones 2006), but is also part of an insurance strategy (McCallum and Jones submitted). If this technique works, it is a means of eradicating the disease in isolatable areas. If eradication is not achievable, disease suppression is still potentially a cost-effective way of protecting wild devil populations (per devil cost per annum of A$1,000 cf.

Disease suppression has other uses as well, PROCEDURE FOR REVISION PURPOSE BUDGET ACTIVITIES SPONSORED as maintaining buffer zones ORTHO DISTRIBUTED ACCELERATOR PERFORMANCE ERDAS (LOA) OF ORTHO GENERATION ANALYSIS USING fenced enclosures and eradicating incursions (McCallum and Jones submitted). An adaptive management trial in disease suppression commenced in January 2006 (after an 18-month pilot study) on the Forestier peninsula, where the disease has newly arrived and prevalence was low, and where movement of diseased Be traditional a physics will physics To without Welcome to class This set. 1 PHY2053, calculus. Devils across a bridge and canal can be restricted. Work is underway with the state road authority and an engineering consulting firm to construct a barrier to devils on the bridge. Diseased Tasmanian Devils are being removed from the peninsula population through intensive trapping, in the hope of reducing or extirpating the disease there and to learn more about possibilities of controlling DFTD elsewhere. If it is not possible to eradicate or even control the disease in this isolated site, it is probably not possible to do so elsewhere. The suppression has succeeded in limiting the extent of the population decline, age structure changes and geographic spread and the size of the tumours Arthropods 16B being detected is smaller (Jones et al. 2007, unpubl.). In late 2006, the rate of transitions to new disease cases peaked and prevalence is now in decline (Lachish et al. in prep.). It is too early to say whether eradication is possible (M. Jones unpubl.). Selection for resistance And Now Then Sociology: is Biology Mathematical progress to identify resistant genotypes, in the MHC gene complex associated with tumour recognition (Siddle et al. 2007), and in the peri-centric inversion in chromosome 5 (Pearse and Swift 2006). If resistant individuals are found, management could be directed towards artificial selection in captive or wild populations, or in translocating resistant individuals to depleted parts of the devil's range. Current evidence suggests that lack of diversity at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is responsible for the disease being able to transmit between devils (Siddle et al. 2007). There is evidence that some individuals from the as yet uninfected West Coast have MHC profiles that differ from those found in the infected Eastern populations (Belov pers. comm). Whether these differences are sufficient to be protective - wmp_finite_difference Mathcad currently unknown, but it is an area of active research. Vaccine and treatment research Vaccine research is ongoing and potentially promising, but is expected to take many years to achieve success. To be effective for disease control in wild populations in Tasmania, much of which is rugged and inaccessible by vehicle, a vaccine would need to be orally delivered, preferably by Intern Special Projects baiting. Research into treatment using cytotoxic drugs is underway. Treatment could be a viable option for saving captive individuals with valuable bloodlines but is too intensive and expensive to ever be useful for conserving wild populations (Stephen Pyecroft pers. comm. in Jones et al. 2007). Currently, approximately 40% of the Molecules in processes chemistry life of Cells and Strand: of Tasmania is protected, but this is unlikely to counter the effects of DFTD.

Jace Clayton's The Julius Eastman Memorial Dinner
4–6 PM · VW Dome
"Reverence can be a form of forgetting." Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist Jace Clayton has built his practice around ripping unheard and forgotten sounds from their original contexts to sonically reimagine them in ways that deconstruct, while still retaining a sense of human warmth. Known for his work as DJ /rupture, Clayton's most recent live project--presented at MoMA PS1 on the occasion of the launch of his album, The Julius Eastman Memory Depot (New Amsterdam)—hones its focus on the life and music of gay African-American composer, pianist, and vocalist Julius Eastman (1940-1990.) "I interpret the open-ended, irreverent nature of Eastman's legacy as a call to conversation," explains Clayton, who will enact this conversation in the form of a performance.

(Phoenix, Ariz. – May 25, 2005) Attorney General Terry Goddard today announced that Jennifer Elizabeth Johnson, 41, and her husband Philip Wayne Johnson, 37, were sentenced to seven years supervised probation and ordered to pay $150,000 in restitution in an abuse case involving Jennifer Johnson's grandmother and her trust fund. Additionally, Jennifer Johnson was ordered to forfeit all benefits with respect to her grandmother's estate.
The Johnsons, formerly of Flagstaff, and now living in West Jordan, Utah, were indicted in February on charges of fraud, theft and Unlawful Use of Power of Attorney. The indictment alleged that the Johnsons used more than $100,000 of the principal and income from her grandmother's living trust fund to benefit themselves and their children. Jennifer Johnson was the trustee and was authorized to spend trust money only for the benefit of her grandmother who is in her 90s and suffers from dementia.
In March, each defendant pleaded guilty to Unlawful Use of Power of Attorney Involving an Amount in Excess of $25,000, a Class 2 Felony. The defendants were sentenced by Judge Michael O. Wilkinson on May 24. Assistant Attorney General Ted Noyes prosecuted this case.

Skype or Ekiga on Ubuntu 8.04
Skype or Ekiga
Which is better? Well I tested both and here are my impressions of using each. The first thing you need to do is try it yourself as that will be an important aspect. Here are links to 2 easy tutorials to get you going.
Compare Skype and Ekiga
Skype Tutorial
Ekiga Tutorial
The biggest thing I like about Ekiga was that it was the default and I assumed as a result that it would be the easiest to get going. Well…it wasn't. The software install with about 12 steps instead of the 3 steps with Skype. That was one thing I didn't like as it provided more opportunity for error and then trying to find the error was even more complex. However, the biggest problem I had was trying to get my hardware to be consistent. Yep, I would turn it off and find it did not work when I wanted to use it again. I kept getting error messages about my sound system had a conflict. I experimented a lot trying to find the issue, for me it was setting my sound to ALSA not PulseAudio, the standard on Ubuntu 8.04. So my frustration with Ekiga as that while it was the default, it was problematic and while PulseAudio was the default it did not work. I thought this was the LTS version, I must have missed something.
My biggest complaint about Skype was that the website seemed to indicate that there was not current version for Ubuntu 8.04. That always makes me nervous as I like to keep version matching not having to go back to the Ubuntu 7.10 version. It almost looks on the Skype site that it is not kept up well, again an indication that there business model is not working as well as they liked. However, despite these issues Skype was dead easy to set up and get going. And I had no problems with my hardware acting up.
You can get both to work with a little work. I did notice that a typical problem is a low volume microphone so get the best you can to help in that area.

Well, if you want to make life in Ubuntu much easier for yourself, just go to http://www.medibuntu.org and follow the link for setting up the repo on your system. From that point on you can install skype directly with apt-get or synaptic. I'm running several 64 bit systems and life is pretty easy these days.
March 25, 2009 at 7:49 pm
Ekiga is a good example of why Linux is no competitor to MS Windows. You are not a user but need to be a programmer. Gave up trying to install latest version of this product. Just cannot waste time sorting out missing packages and the like. Skype was a doddle to install. More like what a package should be. Don't fancy opening up my router to the world just for Ekiga

The shopping is done and the presents are wrapped and Frog Prince and I have settled down for a long winter's nap.
Okay, so maybe not a long winter's nap -- but, it's cold and snowy and the perfect time of year to share time together. Although we are not traveling this year, and it will be hard to be away from our family members, we are looking forward to celebrating Christmas for this first time in our new home.
Just as St. Nicholas brings us a Christmas book every year, Santa brings our family a game every year and it's our tradition to play that game on Christmas day. Therefore, the last place I want to spend Christmas day is in the kitchen. So, I chose meals for Christmas day that are easy to prepare and allow us to have a relaxing day.
For Christmas breakfast, we'll have Christmas Eggs and Lemon Blueberry Scones. The Christmas Eggs are easily put together the night before {as is the cinnamon sugar coffee cake I debated adding to our Christmas morning menu}, and the scones go together really quickly too.

Dakotas Grassland Fire About 75 Percent Contained
LEMMON - A fire that scorched nearly 22 square miles on the Grand River National Grasslands in the Dakotas is about 75 percent contained.
The fire spread Wednesday after a prescribed burn by the U.S. Forest Service southeast of Hettinger, N.D., escaped containment lines and moved into South Dakota's Perkins County.
Eighteen fire engines and two water tenders are working on strengthening the perimeter and providing structure protection. Full containment is expected by Friday evening.
Grand River District Ranger Paul Hancock says the Forest Service will be conducting an assessment to determine property damage and will be working on strategies to pay for the damage caused by the agency.
Some residents say the Forest Service hadn't listened to warnings about conducting the burn.

I finally got around to trying the new settings for MaxHWTransferSize on my VMAX connected vSphere hosts, and it really is a shocking performance boost when doing Storage vMotions.
Basically we're telling the VAAI hardware assist to use 4x larger chunks to do this data copy in the background. Net result is any VAAI copy operations finish up quite a bit faster than they did before.
If you haven't, I recommend you go read Chad's article on the topic here:
If you don't feel like reading the article, and just want to get this going in the lab as fast as possible, SSH into your vSphere hosts and issue the following command:
esxcfg-advcfg -g /DataMover/MaxHWTransferSize
This will tell you what it's currently set to:
Value of MaxHWTransferSize is 4096
Should be 4096. If not, make a note of it in case you need to roll back.
Then enter this to change to the new setting:
esxcfg-advcfg -s 16384 /DataMover/MaxHWTransferSize
You'll see the following:
Value of MaxHWTransferSize is 16384
Now go test some SvMotions.
If this somehow breaks, (not that I've seen it) change it back to what it was before.
In my preliminary tests, I'm seeing SvMotions that were taking 1:30 to complete, finishing in 26 seconds.
This is an impressive tweak. Shouts to Chad for the post, and Cody Hosterman for the boost!
Ohh, and remember, do this only if your hosts are exclusively connecting to VMAX arrays. It could break on other arrays.

When people complain about Hollywood's obsession with blockbusters, they often trace the root of the problem to Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, blaming Jaws and Star Wars for creating the industry's tentpole business model. It's a silly argument. This summer's crop of aspiring megahits—Iron Man 3, Fast & Furious 6, Star Trek Into Darkness, White House Down—have little in common with the charming exuberance of Star Wars or the patient suspense of Jaws. For better or worse, most contemporary blockbusters are rapid-fire entertainment machines, pumping out action at a dizzying clip. We don't live in a world that Spielberg and Lucas created; we live in the one that Jerry Bruckheimer spun from it.
Bruckheimer turned 70 a couple of weeks ago, and while his legacy as one of Hollywood's most bankable producers is secure, his future isn't. After years of hits, Bruckheimer has been humbled by recent commercial misfires such as The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Prince of Persia and, most embarrassingly, The Lone Ranger. And last week it was announced that he and Disney will split next year, ending a partnership in place since the early 1990s.
Bruckheimer isn't retiring anytime soon. ("[Disney and I] will continue working together on Pirates of the Caribbean, National Treasure and other projects we have developed together at the studio," he said in a statement.) But now that he's a septuagenarian with a few duds on his résumé, it's fair to ask whether the Bruckheimer era has ended.
Most film critics hope so. Though Bruckheimer has produced great movies such as American Gigolo and Black Hawk Down, that's not what comes to mind when we think of his ubiquitous Jerry Bruckheimer Films logo. Instead, we think of big explosions, rocking soundtracks, macho banter and busy plots that make more noise than sense. More than any other director or producer, he's responsible for shaping the modern Hollywood blockbuster. He did such a good job, in fact, that he ended up making himself and others like him irrelevant in the process.
Bruckheimer first established himself in the 1980s with Don Simpson/Jerry Bruckheimer Films, his producing partnership with Don Simpson, Paramount's former president of production. Together they shepherded films including Flashdance, Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop—huge hits that have a propulsive, somewhat tacky appeal. Simpson and Bruckheimer quickly got a reputation as Hollywood's bad-boy producers, though that designation was mainly because of Simpson, who became legendary for being a temperamental, prostitute-obsessed junkie. By comparison, Bruckheimer, who had studied psychology and worked in advertising, was the diligent yin to Simpson's gregarious, unstable yang.
Simpson's death in 1996 from heart failure due to cocaine and pill-popping occurred shortly after Bruckheimer ended his partnership with the increasingly unreliable producer. But with Simpson or on his own, Bruckheimer has had a knack for knowing how to get asses in seats; over the last 30 years he has produced 19 movies that grossed more than $100 million each in the U.S., and he has often been ahead of the curve of blockbuster trends. You can hate him—and lots of critics do, calling his movies juvenile and shallow—but you can't deny his commercial appeal or what he brought to the Hollywood event movie.
As Hollywood began embracing blockbuster culture in the early 1980s, it was Bruckheimer (with Simpson) who locked onto the idea of making films that could attract the masses. In a 2002 interview, Bruckheimer got it exactly right when he drew a distinction between his movies and the populist protest music of Bruce Springsteen: "He writes about a certain audience who buys his records. We make movies not about an audience, but we make movies that appeal to that audience."
And those movies capture the zeitgeist. Flashdance has the flavor of an MTV video. Beverly Hills Cop features Eddie Murphy, the most explosive comic talent of the 1980s. Top Gun is like a cinematic video game. Renowned New Yorker film critic Pauline Kael memorably dismissed Top Gun as a "self-referential commercial…a recruiting poster that isn't concerned with recruiting but with being a poster." That was almost the point: A Bruckheimer film was supposed to annoy older, more sophisticated audiences who would never spend an evening watching young men cracking wise while playing a homoerotic game of volleyball or shooting guns. Bruckheimer, primarily making R-rated movies, was willing to risk losing younger viewers if it meant cementing a rep for delivering "edgy" event movies that were slicker and cooler than his competitors'. In a sense, he never left advertising: Now he was simply selling a lifestyle through movies.
Part of what got audiences hooked was testosterone. Star Wars has boyish, gee-whiz adventure, but Bruckheimer's films feel simultaneously adult and adolescent. Whether it's Top Gun, Bad Boys, Crimson Tide, The Rock or Bad Company, the predominant image from a Bruckheimer film is of unflappable hardasses bantering as if the world were one big frat house. Women have a place in his movies but usually just on the periphery: Téa Leoni as a damsel in distress in Bad Boys; Kelly McGillis, Liv Tyler and Kate Beckinsale as love interests in Top Gun, Armageddon and Pearl Harbor, respectively. When he made movies starring women, he was savvy about it. Michelle Pfeiffer's inner-city school drama Dangerous Minds was overshadowed by Coolio's "Gangster's Paradise," an example of Bruckheimer's ability to think beyond theatrical revenue to create popular, lucrative soundtracks for his films. (For many people, Top Gun's soundtrack is as iconic as anything else in the movie.) As for Coyote Ugly, he was able to sell a movie about lissome young women by featuring them on the cover of Maxim, a magazine manufactured for impressionable horn dogs.
But Bruckheimer's most infamous contribution to the modern event movie was his discovery of Michael Bay, a commercial and video director. If Top Gun and Beverly Hills Cop define 1980s flash, Bay's Bad Boys, The Rock, Armageddon and Pearl Harbor are amped-up 1990s swagger, saluting all-American masculinity and hopped-up visual pyrotechnics. The notion that summer movies need to be epic events—goofy but also unreservedly awesome—can be felt in every frame of Bay's escapist flicks. Without Bay, it's harder to imagine the sensation-overload films of Zack Snyder (300) or the giddy dopiness of Roland Emmerich's work (Independence Day).
As the 21st century began, studios became increasingly interested in movies that could play to the widest audience possible, which meant moving away from R-rated films to films rated PG-13. Again, Bruckheimer was ahead of the curve, producing Disney Studios' first PG-13 movie—Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. By tamping down his trademark testosterone, he delivered a template for the new breed of four-quadrant hit, that commercial Holy Grail that can rope in men, women, the young and the old. But as successful as the Pirates films have been—grossing $3.7 billion worldwide—they also signaled a change in Hollywood moviemaking that ultimately worked against marquee names, including Bruckheimer.
In 2003, when Curse of the Black Pearl was the third-highest grossing film of the year, six of the year's top 10 moneymakers were either sequels or remakes. Every year since then has averaged around the same ratio (if not higher)—and that's not counting movies such as Iron Man that are based on well-known pop-culture characters. This trend doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon. Thanks to hit franchises like Pirates of the Caribbean, audiences have become less interested in stars than they are in recognizable properties. People won't necessarily check out Tom Cruise in Oblivion, but they're onboard for Mission: Impossible 5. Will Smith can't get audiences to see After Earth, but Men in Black 3 will bring out the crowds. It doesn't even matter if a franchise isn't that old: Sony successfully rebooted Spider-Man shortly after Tobey Maguire left, and Universal plowed forward with a Jason Bourne sequel, The Bourne Legacy, that had little to do with Matt Damon's character. Nowadays, studios aren't in the business of breaking new talents the way Bruckheimer once did (e.g., Cruise in Top Gun, Smith in Bad Boys, Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop)—they want to manage their brands in the same way people worry over their investment portfolios.
In such an environment, relying on formula and sticking to PG-13 ratings makes good business sense but is hell on a producer who can't generate new franchises. From Disney's perspective, churning broad-appeal Marvel movies and Disneyland-derived films like Tomorrowland is a safer bet than risking another Sorcerer's Apprentice—which, ironically, might have done better if it had been a straight-up adaptation of the memorable "Fantasia" sequence. These days, originality is a liability. And just as stars are becoming dependent on franchises for surefire hits, big-name producers have to worry about pre-established tentpoles. Studios simply don't need salesmen like Bruckheimer as much; the films now sell themselves.
And yet, these new movies lack the seasoning that made Bruckheimer's biggest hits so memorable. Top Gun and Bad Boys have a cocky exuberance that feels sunny and uncomplicated. Modern event films are darker, in part as a response to 9/11, but also because franchises copied the Bourne films and Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, opting for a tougher, more realistic look at their characters. (Tellingly, the only recent films that feel remotely like Bruckheimer's are Bay's overblown Transformers movies, which Bruckheimer didn't produce but bear his DNA.)
Bruckheimer's specific brand of unfiltered, happy adolescence isn't so present at the multiplexes anymore. Surprisingly, I miss it. Top Gun was once viewed as deeply cynical and soulless—Kael's comment about it being a poster for itself could be an indictment of Hollywood's dumbed-down development strategy ever since—but it's a film that, in hindsight, possesses a sweet naivete in comparison with modern blockbusters' industrial-strength explosiveness and gloom. That doesn't mean those of us who rolled our eyes at Bruckheimer's movies' outlandishness were wrong. But at his best, he found that sweet spot where showmanship, escapism and giddiness combine to produce that irreplaceable experience that Bruckheimer loved as a child of going to the theater "and sticking your hand in the popcorn and watching a great film."
Bruckheimer has hinted that after parting ways with Disney he might go back to making the sort of R-rated movies he pursued in his earlier years that aren't conducive to Disney's family-centric credo. But the truth is, Bruckheimer's old R-rated mentality doesn't have much of a place in Hollywood's four-quadrant business model. In a sense, maybe his era isn't ending so much as coming full circle. He started off as a pseudo–bad boy; his next chapter might be making movies the system he helped create no longer has a place for.

Forensic Investigation Support Services
The specialized BCI Forensic Investigative Support Services, based at the Forensic Investigation center in Albany, provides the entire state law enforcement community with support in criminal evidence examination, analysis and training.
Violent Crime Case Review: Violent Crime Case Review provides a comprehensive review of open or closed cases. These reviews, coordinated by BCI - FISS, can conduct a round table on any violent crime, at the request of the investigating agency, which can include the Case Investigators, Forensic Scientists, Forensic Specialists, and Investigators with experience on similar cases, members of Cold Case and Medicolegal Units and any other personnel which could possibly help further the investigation, which can help the investigating officer develop leads and strategies.
Cold Case Retired Senior Investigators and District Attorneys who bring with them over 9 decades of combined investigative experience are available to review any case that has not yet been closed successfully. Whether that case is 50 years or 50 days old, if the investigator has exhausted all leads or simply needs a fresh perspective, the Cold Case Unit is another resource that NYSP has at their fingertips. The Cold Case investigators are available for major case review, round tables, or simply to look over the case for possible lead suggestions.
Medicolegal Investigation Unit This unit employs approximately 16 world-renowned forensic experts at the disposal of the NYSP BCI, through its consultant service.
Forensic Pathology: World-renowned forensic pathologists are available for Case Review, Round Table Review, Radiological Identification, Trauma Analysis, Pattern Injury Analysis, Review/Analysis of Defense Expert Testimony and Reports, major disaster victim identification, and assistance at autopsy upon request. We also provide expert court testimony in those cases, when necessary.

Our Conference
Through over fifty years of research studies of cross-national achievement, IEA has contributed substantially to the development of a worldwide community of researchers in educational evaluation. The aim of the IEA International Research Conference (IRC) is to provide an international forum for researchers working with IEA data to exchange ideas and information on critical educational issues. Because of its international scope, issues can be examined in both a comparative and global context. The main objectives of the IEA IRC are to:
- stimulate the exchange of ideas among researchers of different research orientations;
- stimulate creative dialogue among scholars and researchers;
- promote openness to new approaches of data analysis;
- facilitate the evaluation of different research methodologies;
- respect all viewpoints that may contribute to breaking new grounds in educational research;
- provide greater understanding of the important role that education plays in the development of nations and in shaping individuals.
The conference, which takes place every two years at host institutions around the world, also provides an important opportunity for researchers to meet after the period of study participation is over.
Once an IEA study is completed and the first round of international reports is published, the international database is released to the public, giving those interested an opportunity for further analysis. The major strength of IEA studies is that they are curriculum anchored and grade based, thereby making it possible to investigate linkages between student achievement and a wide range of variables. Those variables can be related to instructional practices, opportunity to learn, school organization, and the backgrounds and attitudes of students and teachers, among others.
8th IEA International Research Conference
26–28 June 2019, Copenhagen, Denmark
The 8th IEA IRC is organized in cooperation with Aarhus University in Denmark. Pre-conference workshops will be held on 24–25 June 2019.

Bowling refers to a series of sports or leisure activities in which a player rolls or throws a bowling ball towards a target. In pin bowling variations, the target is usually to knock over pins at the end of a lane. In target variations, the aim is usually to get the ball as close to a mark as possible. The pin version of bowling is often played on a flat wooden or other synthetic surface (which can be oiled in different patterns for different techniques).

text: The stainless steel socket cap screw has a plain finish and a flat head with an internal hex drive. Stainless steel resists corrosion and may be magnetic. The flat head is cone shaped for use in countersunk holes and has a flat top that fits flush with the mated surface. The internal hex drive, also known as a hex-socket drive, has a hexagonal slot that requires an Allen key driver, also known as a hex key or Allen wrench. Socket cap screws are threaded fasteners that have a cap head with an internal socket drive for installing in areas with limited side clearance. These screws are available with a variety of head shapes, which determine how the screw interacts with the mating surface, and drive styles, which determine the type of tool required to install the screw.

That makes good sense. The market is moving in a direction which will make personal storage systems like Tesla's Powerwall and Enphase' AC Battery more attractive. Advances in the technologies behind those products will also help.Randy wrote:Highlights of the decision include:
* Adopts a five-month summer season (June-October)
* Adjusts base TOU periods so that the on-peak period is 3-9pm daily
* Extends super off-peak to be midnight to 6am weekdays, adds 10am-2pm super off-peak in March and April. Also extends super off-peak from midnight to 2pm on weekends.
TOU pricing will be a continuously-moving target. Eventually I expect "super-off-peak" times to occur in the middle of the daytime. We will need to start moving to some form of BEV-net-metering before we get to that point in order to encourage daytime charging by not penalizing employers unduly. It will also reduce the amount of battery oversupply that will occur.

Tax Management New Zealand Appoints Sir Ralph Norris to Advisory Board
Dynamic, respected business leader Sir Ralph Norris has been appointed to the Advisory Board for Tax Management New Zealand.
He joins Barrister David McLay, and CEO and managing partner of Ernst & Young Oceania, Rob McLeod – both of whom have been providing strategic advice to Tax Management New Zealand as advisory board members for over 10 years.
Sir Ralph has previously held CEO roles at ASB, Air New Zealand, and The Commonwealth Bank of Australia. Of Tax Management New Zealand, Sir Ralph says: "This company is a brilliant example of New Zealand's ability to apply innovation. Since its establishment, it has taken a unique New Zealand tax problem for many companies and turned it into an opportunity.
"Tax Management New Zealand was the first company to take up the opportunity promoted by Inland Revenue, and it developed the framework to help solve the challenges that businesses face in estimating their provisional tax. This has created a win-win solution for businesses and the IRD."
Rob McLeod heads Ernst & Young's Oceania practice, encompassing Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. A tax specialist, he has previously been appointed by Government to roles including; as a member of the Capital Markets Task Force; chairing the 2001 Government Tax review; as a member of the Maori Economic Development Ministerial Taskforce, and the National Infrastructure Advisory Board. He has held multiple directorships including on some of New Zealand's largest listed companies.
David McLay was a member of the Government's former GST advisory panel, and he is an internationally regarded New Zealand tax expert with 30 years' experience. David has had considerable experience advising Government on taxation issues including as chair of the Rewrite Advisory Panel, with a role in Income Tax Act developments and remedial tax issues.
Tax Management New Zealand Ltd was established in 2003 by Ian Kuperus, to help New Zealand companies manage provisional tax payments. It developed the framework to implement the concept of 'tax pooling'. With itself as an intermediary, Tax Management New Zealand facilitates the trading of tax that is over or underpaid. Using IRD approved mechanisms, it then ensures provisional tax is paid for underpayers on time and in full, and charges lower interest for doing so than typical IRD rates.

According to the NY Daily News:
Once, she told papa not to preach. But now, at 47, Madonna has come down from the mount with a message for you sinners.
People "are going to go to hell, if they don't turn from their wicked behavior," the singer proclaims in her new film, "I'm Going to Tell You a Secret."
Despite her many homes, the former Material Girl says she has renounced "the material world. The physical world. The world of illusion, that we think is real. We live for it, we're enslaved by it. And it will ultimately be our undoing."
Reading from Scripture at one point in the film, the mother of two — who won't let her children watch TV or eat ice cream — says, "I refer to an entity called 'The Beast.' I feel I am describing the world that we live in right now."
Is there anything more tedious than a faux-British gazillionaire jet-setting "reformed" sloot-n-whooore lecturing us non-mystical plebes on the dangers of the Beast known as Materialism?
God, I loathe Madonna. At least back in the good ole days, she was fun. Canoodling with Ice-T and Dennis Rodman! Cone bras! Naughty pictures! Cheeky videos! Gays! Now, she's just insufferable. A holier-than-thou sanctimonious frump. I hate her, I say.
I hate her, I hate her, I hate her!
Get off your high horse, Mrs. Thang! Sorry, Mrs. Old Thang...
And one more thing: I might respect what you have to say if you actually went to the trouble of converting to Judaism. But that would take up too much of your precious time in this world of illusion, eh, Your Holiness?
By the way, Gwen Stefani called and she wants her album back...
Note to Madge: When you feel the need to copy Gwen S., it's time to hang it up once and for all, and stick to being an uptight ersatz-English school marm killjoy. It's what you do best. Sort of.

La Leche League International partnered with Q-T Intimates to create this line of comfortable, sexy, affordable bras. The LLLI is an organization organized over 50 years ago to give nursing women support. Proceeds from each purchase of the lingerie collection go towards the support of LLLI's programs and services. La Leche League bras have easy open cups and wider straps to provide more support and easy access for the nursing mother. Pajamas and chemises are part of the collection also having removable contour cups that can quickly be replaced with nursing pads. With La Leche League lingerie mothers on the go never have to worry about having support while remaining active because the bras do all the work for them. As the trimesters go by the mother-to-be's breasts grow and change along with the baby. La Leche League bras do this as well. After the baby is born and the mother is nursing the breasts still change sizes due to the milk. Each La Leche League bra is designed that after birth and after nursing, the bra should be able to be worn with pride for many years.

Harlequins 10-21 Toulouse, Heineken Cup, Pool 6
Toulouse power past Harlequins
Graham Jenkins
December 9, 2011
Harlequins' Nick Easter is shackled by the Toulouse defence at The Stoop

A brutally efficient Toulouse laid down an impressive Heineken Cup marker and ended Harlequins' unbeaten start to the season with a 21-10 victory in their clash at the Twickenham Stoop on Friday night.
The Top 14 side out-muscled and out-played their hosts with a power-packed display that puts them firmly in control of Pool 6. A brace of tries from winger Timoci Matanavou underlined the French giants' dominance but the foundation for their latest European masterclass was laid by a forward pack with man of the match Louis Picamoles at its heart.
Premiership pacesetters Quins battled bravely throughout and threatened to turn the game on its head with a second half try from fullback Mike Brown but they lacked the punch of their rivals and as a result saw their 14-game winning streak dating back to the start of the season brought to an emphatic halt.
Kiwi fly-half Luke McAlister gave four-time champions Toulouse the lead after just five minutes with a long-range penalty but his kick was soon cancelled out by his compatriot Nick Evans with both sides penalised at the breakdown. Quins could have had the lead a few moments later if they had opted to go for the posts with their next kickable penalty but crucially scrum-half Danny Care opted for a quick-tap that ultimately proved fruitless.
Quins continued to play at a high tempo but Toulouse rarely looked troubled and that enviable assurance soon paid dividends. Lively scrum-half Luke Burgess sparked the move with a chip ahead before the rampaging Picamoles took a starring with a strong into the Quins 22. The No.8 then popped up again to link up with flanker Thierry Dusautoir who in turn put Matanavou in for the opening try of the game. McAlister was unable to add the conversion but he was able to atone after the re-start with Quins once again attracting the wrath of referee George Clancy for their attempts to secure the ball at the breakdown.
The home side stood steadfastly to their game plan and as a result they were forced to defend for long periods and that strain took its toll with another penalty as Toulouse successfully turned the screw. This time the distance proved too much for McAlister but he didn't dwell on the miss and soon sparked his side's latest raid that saw centre Florian Fritz hauled down just short of the line.
Quins' failure to hold their own at the breakdown undermined much of their good work elsewhere but Fritz' miss-hit drop goal in the dying moments of the half ensured they only trailed by eight points as they headed into the break.
The hosts' attempts to generate some momentum of their own in the early stages of the second half met with stern resistance until centre Matt Hopper cut a great line through an otherwise solid Toulouse defence. The visitors scrambled well and looked to have averted the danger only for Care to catch them napping. The No.9's decision to opt for yet another quick tap within kicking range brought him redemption with prop Joe Marler shifting the pass to Brown who bustled his way over for a try. Fritz appeared to have good reason to complain about being taking out off the ball during the build-up to the try but his complaints fell on deaf ears as Evans stepped up to stroke over the conversion and make it a one-point game.
Toulouse's response was predictably clinical with a fired-up pack earning a penalty at scrum-time that McAlister landed to give his side a little more breathing room. Stung into action, Matanavou led a chip and chase that had Brown under pressure in the shadow of his own posts and when he was forced in-goal, the Quins pack faced a major test at scrum time. A pick and go from Picamoles looked ominous but a big tackle from flanker Maurie Fa'asavalu through a sizeable spanner in the works but the Toulouse machine was soon running smoothly again.
Following a short delay that saw Marler stretchered from the field injured, a burst of speed from winger Vincent Clerc tore the Quins defence wide open. He then found fellow speedster Matanavou with a swift pass and he had the pace to evade Brown and dot down in the corner for a try that was confirmed by the Television Match Official. McAlister's excellent conversion cemented his side's lead, underlined their dominance and left Quins with a mountain to climb.
The physical demands of the game caught up with a tired-looking Quins as the contest entered the final ten minutes and their attempts to notch an unlikely game-changing score lacked pace and precision. Denied even a bonus point for their endeavour, Quins now face a must-win scenario in the reverse fixture in Toulouse next weekend.

Who inspires you?
I went to Who Do You Think You Are Live last year and went to the talk by Lisa Louise Cooke of the Genealogy Gems podcast.
I have listen to all her free podcasts and have been a premium member since it started.
Lisa has done a lot on using Google for Genealogy and her talk focused on using Google Earth. I found it very thought provoking and really wanted to get down and use the ideas.
Whilst I have not yet found time to put what I learnt to the test by sharing with the family I hope to do this soon so that everyone of the family with access to a computer can see that Genealogy is not just a load of charts and it can be truly interactive and relevant to the 21st century generation.

Fiery Frenchy Morgan is evicted
Angelique "Frenchy" Morgan has become the third housemate to be evicted from Celebrity Big Brother.
The fiery reality television personality, well known across the Channel, was booed throughout the live show.
Known for wearing pink and for her skimpy outfits, the 39-year-old was the least popular of all the housemates put up for eviction tonight.
Angelique Frenchy Morgan has been evicted from the Celebrity Big Brother house
The exhibitionist made no secret of her desire to win the competition.
She said: "I'm upset because I wanted to win. I would rather go home for somebody I am than stay for somebody I am not." And she warned: "I can guarantee you Frenchy is going to tear up London."
It meant fellow contestants Kellie Maloney and Lauren Goodger, who the frequently breast-baring Frenchy nominated to undergo the ice bucket challenge, were among those spared eviction.
Fellow contestant Leslie Jordan, who had sparred with Frenchy as tensions mounted, was the second housemate to be evicted from Celebrity Big Brother.
The US actor, best known for his role in comedy series Will And Grace, was booted out of the house last Friday.
Former Gladiator David McIntosh was the first contestant to leave the Channel 5 show.

text: Stocks Tighten Despite Demand Issues June 28, 2013 08:36 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Fran Howard AgWeb Contributing Writer Email Grain stocks continue to drop, widening the divide between supplies and prices. Stocks of old-crop corn, soybeans and wheat continue to dwindle, creating a wide divide between old- and new-crop supplies and prices. Stocks as of June 1 of all three crops were substantially lower than a year ago, according to USDA's quarterly stocks report, released June 28. "Supplies are going to be tight, which will help support markets—wheat, corn, and beans—through summer, regardless of what the weather does," says Jack Scoville, vice president with the Price Futures Group, Chicago. Scoville was the commentator on a post-report MGEX press call. "We expected a tight stocks situation," he says. "And we certainly got it." According to the Grain Stocks report, old-crop corn stocks fell by nearly half from March's estimate to 2.764 billion bushels, which reflected a larger than expected disappearance, given the average trade estimate of 2.845 billion bushels and nearly 12 percent lower than June 2012's 3.148 billion bushels. "Corn stocks were below the range of trade estimates, which will be a reason we'll see support in nearby markets," says Scoville. Soybean Stocks Down but So, Too, Is Demand Soybean stocks were also lower than expected at 435 million bushels, more than 56 percent lower than March's estimate of 999 million bushels and 35 percent lower than June 2012's 667 million bushels. The trade had been anticipating stocks to come in at 442 million bushels. Most of the decline in soybean stocks occurred in off-farm stocks. "On-farm stocks were only down about 4 percent," says Chad Hart, agricultural economist with Iowa State University. "Farmers are holding beans to see if they will rally into summer," says Hart. Even though, soybean stocks are substantially lower than both March 1 and June 2012, Hart says that soybean demand is down about 20 percent from a year ago due to a large crop in Brazil and lower South American prices. "Implied disappearance for the March-May quarter was 564 million bushels," says Scoville. "That implies a very, very tight situation." Wheat stocks were also lower than expected at 718 million bushels, down 42 percent from March's 1.234 billion and 3 percent lower than June 2012's 743 million bushels. While wheat stocks are still ample, Scoville says, the wheat market could potentially tighten given the implied disappearance. Hart agrees. "Could we have a run-up in wheat? Sure," Hart says. A weather trigger in an export competitor—the European Union or Ukraine—could spark a rally in U.S. wheat prices. ..........................

Dear course participants
I would ask you to make an interview with a friend or family member. Find out what they think THEY can contribute personally to reduce their own carbon footprint. Then ask them to rank their options according to their preference to actually change their behaviour or whatever they suggest. For example: I would stop eating meat first, then I would turn down the temperature in my apartment . etc- etc.
Please write in the Journal for this interview just the answers your interviewee gave you:
1) what he things an individual can do to reduce their individual carbon footprint
2) What that person thinks he or she would really consider doing herself
Everybody can and should share their interview results and maybe add a comment of their own about the interview, the reaction of the interviewee. In any case, please write down as a minimum 1) a... and 2) a...
Good luck. looking forward to your answers

If you ever want to cause serious confusion in a Werewolf game - good for werewolves, bad for villagers - use the iocaine powder defense.
Everything you could possibly say in Werewolf could be a bluff. Any possible evidence for any possible conclusion - body language, tone of voice, every vote and accusation - could also be a bluff. Therefore any conclusion you come to in Werewolf could be a conclusion you were led to.
If you consider this out loud, and people follow your line of reasoning, you end up so far down a rabbit hole of infinite recursion that it functions like a black hole of reasoning, from which no logic can escape. The only sane thing to do is to abandon the line of reasoning.
You can scuttle any arbitrary line of reasoning this way, as long as people are willing to listen.
(Realize, however, that if a werewolf is putting forward a deliberately illogical line of reasoning, and you point out its flaws, you could be accused of using the iocaine powder defense, even when you're not.)

But keep your eyes peeled for the full edit from meet #2 coming soon. Thanks to one of the organizers — Amanda Voget — for sharing this clip.
