I'd be grateful for any clues as to how to fix this asit's tcp zero-copy on recv when it goes OK!What does tcp socket recv need exactly by way of an mmapped buffer?Is there some set of flags that needs to be set on the pages that makeup the mmap?Recv() hangs somewhere inside the tcp recv call inside kernel paths thatI cannot trace. I see "recv(5, ...)" via strace. The data is sent outon the wire from the other side and apparently comes in, but the sockettcp recv never progresses.If, OTOH, I have previously written the device at that point, thenreading the device causes a request to appear at the device driverwith pages carrying the flags 40001826(referenced|error|lru|private|writeback)and all works fantastically in the sense that recv called with thosepages mmapped into userspace as the recv buffer works just like itshould.When the device has not been written at that point previously, thenI see pages appearing in the request bio buffers with prettyrandom-looking flags, such as 40020801(locked|private|readahead)and recv does its hang trick.Does anyone have any insight as to what is going on?ThanksPeter

George Clooney slams the Daily Mail for 'criminal' report
George Clooney is used to rumours being spread about him in the media, but a recent report by British tabloid the Daily Mail has made him angry enough to speak out.
''I seldom respond to tabloids, unless it involves someone else and their safety or well-being,'' Clooney writes in an open letter published in USA Today.
''The Daily Mail has printed a completely fabricated story about my fiancee's mother opposing our marriage for religious reasons.''
The story in question reports that his fiance Amal Almuddin's mother Baria ''has been 'telling half of Beirut' that she wanted her daughter to marry within the Druze sect''.
It continues, reporting that a ''family friend'' in London says Baria thinks her daughter can do better.
The Daily Mail then goes into great detail about the problems being Druze will have on their nuptials, as well as some of the more controversial aspects of the culture.
The reporters write: ''There can be harsh penalties for those Druze who marry outsiders. Several women have been murdered for disobeying the rules.''
The 53-year-old actor says, to begin with, nothing in the story is true. For a start, ''Amal's mother is not Druze,'' Clooney points out.
''She has not been to Beirut since Amal and I have been dating, and she is in no way against the marriage.''
In fact, she has been holidaying with her son-in-law-to-be and his family at his holiday home at Lake Como, Italy.
Over the weekend Baria was spotted looking happy while she bonding with Clooney's mother, Nina Bruce Clooney, during a shopping trip in an Italian village.
While the Daily Mail mentioned this, it is probably something Baria would not have done if she disapproved of the match.
Clooney says he is used to and even expects tabloids to make up silly stories like this about him, but this particular story creates a bigger problem.
''If they fabricate stories of Amal being pregnant, or that the marriage will take place on the set of Downton Abbey, or that I'm running for office, or any number of idiotic stories that they sit at their computers and invent, I don't care,'' Clooney writes.
''The irresponsibility, in this day and age, to exploit religious differences where none exist, is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous.''
He continues: ''We have family members all over the world, and the idea that someone would inflame any part of that world for the sole reason of selling papers should be criminal.''
The actor says another big problem with the fact the tabloid is selling blatant lies as news is that hundreds of other news outlets and organisations then quote the Daily Mail in their own stories on the same topic.
New York's Daily News, Yahoo! Celebrity UK, Emirates 24/7 and India Today are just a handful of the news outlets that reported on the Daily Mail's article about Clooney's relationship.
The Monuments Men star says he understands his privacy is occasionally inconvenienced by freedom of speech, but the Daily Mail takes things too far.
''The Daily Mail, more than any other organisation that calls itself news, has proved time and time again that facts make no difference in the articles they make up,'' Clooney writes. ''And when they put my family and my friends in harm's way, they cross far beyond just a laughable tabloid and into the arena of inciting violence.''

The Epiphone Riviera P93, which was discontinued last year will be back in stores from 8 May.
If demand is anything like it was last year, however, it won't be available for long, so better get those orders in now. The Riviera P93 has three 'dog-ear' single coil P-90 pick-ups and a Bigsby trem and tailpiece. The Bigsby, along with the polyurethane finish and gold hardware make this one good-looking guitar.
[easyazon-image align="none" asin="B001IAHN92″ locale="us" height="203″ src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41JGKdmP1zL.jpg" width="500″]
The laminated maple body and top, glued-in mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard and trapezoid inlays mean that the Riviera P93 sounds and plays wonderfully, too. The Tune-O-Matic bridge complements the Bigsby perfectly.
On the head there are Grover tuners and on the body, a 3-way pick-up selector and tone and volume controls for the neck and bridge pick-ups. The three P-90s give that extra crunch for rockabilly and blues, but the Riviera P93 is also very well-suited to jazz, and the Bigsby makes it perfect for country playing.
Reviews of last year's Epiphone Riviera P93 were great. On Guitar Center, cguitarist929 said 'This guitar is AMAZING for the price! My brother just got it yesterday and I never thought epiphone would make such a nice guitar. This guitar has a thick warm tone on clean, great for blues. But when distorted, it can play from classic rock to punk.'
And on the Musicians Friend, Sgtpeppere64 said 'It's got that woody tone that threatens to retire my Fender 72 deluxe, American Mahogany HSS,Variax 700 and Nashville Tele. I road tested it for days, on a Vox DA5 practice amp, and was mesmerized!! I don't know how to describe the experience thru my Mesa Boogie!'

Today's businesses seek convenience, flexibility, value and control, and their purchase patterns are shifting accordingly – moving away from buying to renting and subscribing to business solutions. This has given rise to the 'subscription economy', a frequently used buzz-word in which a customer pays a subscription fee to have access to products and services for a given time period, opposed to paying a one-off transaction fee for ownership.
Although the subscription economy is not a new concept, it has experienced a strong increase in adoption within the B2B environment in the recent years – businesses can now subscribe to a wide variety of offerings, ranging from manufacturing equipment to media to transport solutions and cloud software. But why, you may wonder? Subscription-based solutions offer clear benefits – they provide a high degree of flexibility and scalability, where businesses can choose, change, upgrade, renew and opt-out of subscription plans at any given point, allowing for a high-degree of control and visibility. Subscriptions also reduce financial risk, where subscription costs are spread out over multiple payment periods, instead of having to fork out a large one-off payment – enabling your business to also spend on other important things.
Businesses expect personalised solutions– in the subscription economy they are actively involved in self-selecting the level of subscriptions, tailored to their needs and objectives. Also, in a dynamic business environment in which products and services are constantly developed and modernised, subscriptions offer value as they allow for the use of cutting-edge products/services without having to worry about technological obsolescence – imagine not having to worry about buying the latest version of office suite software, and always having access to the newest features and versions.
Vodafone offers a range of subscription-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) apps, where you can self-select from a range of cloud-based SaaS apps, paying only for what is required for your business through a pay-as-you-go subscription model. Being cloud-based, your business can truly embrace the 'always-on' philosophy, as employees can access these apps from anywhere, 24/7, using any device. You will always have access to the latest and greatest technology with world-class security, and no longer have to worry about the costs of software obsolesce. All of this from one place in one bill, along with the best network and tariffs for your business.

What does kidney stone mean?
Definitions for kidney stone
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word kidney stone.
Princeton's WordNet
kidney stone, urinary calculus, nephrolith, renal calculus(noun)
a calculus formed in the kidney
kidney stone(Noun)
A calculus in the kidney; (older term) kidney gravel
Kidney stone
A kidney stone, also known as a renal calculus is a solid concretion or crystal aggregation formed in the kidneys from dietary minerals in the urine. Urinary stones are typically classified by their location in the kidney, ureter, or bladder, or by their chemical composition. About 80% of those with kidney stones are men. Kidney stones typically leave the body by passage in the urine stream, and many stones are formed and passed without causing symptoms. If stones grow to sufficient size they can cause obstruction of the ureter. Ureteral obstruction causes postrenal azotemia and hydronephrosis, as well as spasm of the ureter. This leads to pain, most commonly felt in the flank, lower abdomen, and groin. Renal colic can be associated with nausea, vomiting, fever, blood in the urine, pus in the urine, and painful urination. Renal colic typically comes in waves lasting 20 to 60 minutes, beginning in the flank or lower back and often radiating to the groin or genitals. The diagnosis of kidney stones is made on the basis of information obtained from the history, physical examination, urinalysis, and radiographic studies. Ultrasound examination and blood tests may also aid in the diagnosis.

This past week saw the 8,913th different Star Wars release – this time it was Star Wars in 3D. Glenn marveled today at how Lucas is routinely able to rope people into re-watching a movie they've already seen a thousand times, and he had an especially troubling revelation: Star Wars Episode I is a terrible, terrible movie.
"I want prison time for George Lucas," Glenn said on radio this morning.
"Just for movie crimes. What he's done to the story, I mean, is just not good," he added.
"All I could think of is halfway through this movie is, how much money has this guy made releasing the same damn movies by changing them over and over and over again. Now it's 3‑D."
"You've changed this movie so many times," he said. "Here's an idea. Next version why don't you replace it with good acting. Here's an idea. Why don't the people at your little ranch, why don't we use all the CGI to make you go away with all of your influence? You're wrecking good movies. You have enough, you have enough talent around you? You have enough money to do it right? Go away, George Lucas. Go away."

A look at internal affairs in police departments
The police are blamed for a lot of things, but the true strategic and logistical resources for the Leftist alliance is being conducted out of sight, out of mind. But it is interesting to see the tactical affairs of various cities and departments, on a miniature person by person scale.
Just realize that the Leftist alliance has bigger and badder things in planning than these things that happen every day. Even Fast and Furious is a "small operation" compared to what they can normally do.

Directors of Capital Region 'Nutcracker' productions share what makes the 120-year-old show a holiday tradition
Directors of Capital Region 'Nutcracker' productions share what makes the 120-year-old show a holiday tradition
Published 6:21 pm, Thursday, November 29, 2012
Who doesn't love "The Nutcracker"? You won't find anyone but a Scrooge who'd admit to being less than enchanted by the holiday classic, which celebrates its 120th birthday this year. What other show could be staged in five different productions in one month within a 50-mile radius, as "The Nutcracker" is this year in the Capital Region?
But it wasn't always this way: The 1892 premiere, in St. Petersburg, Russia, of the collaboration between choreographers Marius Petipa and Lev Ivanov and composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky didn't exactly draw rave reviews. Critics particularly disliked the idea of having so many children on stage — ironic, no? But "The Nutcracker" has long since proven that it has legs — dozens of prancing, leaping and turning legs. We asked the directors of Capital Region "Nutcracker" productions to give us a glimpse into why this show is so beloved — and what makes each of their versions unique.
Artistic director, Albany Berkshire Ballet
First memory of "The Nutcracker": I had not been to a "Nutcracker" production when I started my own more than 30 years ago. When I brought the idea to my board, we had nothing — no sets, no costumes, no choreography, no money. I did it because I didn't know it wasn't possible!
Why "The Nutcracker" is a classic: It brings families together. Children participate in it for years, and remember being little tiny reindeer and then graduating to mice and so on. One of my sons, who's 40 now, grew up on "The Nutcracker," and now his children dance in it.
Favorite moments of "The Nutcracker": The Waltz of the Flowers and the Snowflake dance. I'm in love with the beautiful patterns. It's my own choreography, so of course I like it!
Standout aspect of the production: We have a great battle scene, and we've added a little white mouse who comes on stage between the acts. We also have beautiful sets and backdrops that (stage and film designer) Carl Sprague created for us.
"The Nutcracker" in one word: Magical
When: 2:30 and 6:30 p.m. Dec. 16
Where: The Egg, Empire State Plaza, Albany
Tickets: $25, $35.50, $37.50
Info: 473-1845 or http://www.theegg.org
Producer, Moscow Ballet's "Great Russian Nutcracker"
First memory: Saw it as a teen in New York City and loved the music and the spirit.
Why a classic: It celebrates an age-old holiday tradition with family, young love and coming of age as seen from all world traditions.
Favorite moment: The Waltz of the Flowers, because it's so grand and has eight couples dancing, and the final Grand Pas de Deux, showcasing the principal dancers.
Standout aspect: The cast of 40 Russian dancers! They are the most highly trained dancers in the world and have a 300-year ballet tradition. This production also showcases Russian culture: The opening scene features the Moscow skyline, there are traditional Russian puppets in Acts I and II, and Russian folk legends Father Christmas and Snow Maiden appear at the end of Act I.
One word: Stunning
Director of Malta Ballet
Note: Also host director this year of the children and teens division for the Moscow Ballet's Albany production
First memory: I was 7 years old, at my dance school in Trumbull, Conn. I loved Columbine and the Harlequin in the party scene. It was so animated and the costumes were fabulous.
Why a classic: It's the fairy tale aspect, the make-believe, the magic and the mystery.
Favorite moment: As a director, I'd have to say my favorite moment is when the whole thing comes together magically. You go through so many hours of rehearsal, and you can't believe it when it all works.
Standout aspect: The enthusiasm of the young dancers I'm working with. They're so excited to be performing with this extraordinary ballet company. They're working very hard to be up to the standards of the Moscow Ballet, and they're looking really good.
One word: Magical
When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday
Where: The Palace Theatre, 19 Clinton Ave., Albany
Tickets: $27.50–$68
Info: 465-3334 or http://www.palacealbany.com
Artistic director, Northeast Ballet Company
First memory: Dancing in it at age 18 with the Pennsylvania Ballet. It was my first professional experience — I was a snowflake and a flower, and I was in the Act I party scene.
Why a classic: We've gotten away from fantasy and whimsy, and this story brings us back to that place in our minds and reminds us that our dreams are important.
Favorite moment: The Snow pas de deux — the quietness, serenity and elegance of it. It's also my favorite music.
Standout aspect: It encompasses the entire story, but it's also condensed without losing anything. We also have a live horse pulling an antique Victorian sleigh onstage at the beginning of Act II, which it makes it so special.
One word: Magical
When: 7 p.m. Dec. 8; 2 p.m. Dec. 9
Where: Proctors, 432 State St., Schenectady
Tickets: $20–$40
Info: 346-6204 or http://www.proctors.org
Co-artistic director, Adirondack Ballet Theater
First memory: Watching it on TV as a child.
Why a classic: The magic of the holiday season brings everyone together, and it has this heartwarming feeling.
Favorite moment: As a teacher, the battle scene. I love working with the little mice, who are only five and six years old. Also the Waltz of the Flowers — it's very flowing, uplifting, vibrant and lively.
Standout aspect: This year we have new costumes and new choreography tailored to our dancers. Something original to our production are the four guardian angels who bring Klara and her friends into the Kingdom of the Sweets. We also have a Snow Queen solo instead of a Snow pas de deux.
One word: Magical
When: 2:30 and 7 p.m. Dec. 8; 2:30 p.m. Dec. 9
Where: Charles R. Wood Theater, 207 Glen St., Glens Falls
Tickets: $16
Info: 874-0800 or http://www.woodtheater.org
Artistic director, Saratoga City Ballet
First memory: Seeing the New York City Ballet production when I was 5 years old.
Why a classic: It's a timeless story about dreams coming to life.
Favorite moment: The "Waltz of the Flowers."
Standout aspect: Our production is charming and accessible. We pared down our party scene so that younger children will be able to sit through it. Our dancers love to perform, and it really shows, from the tiniest mice to our own Sugar Plum Fairy.
One word: Magical
When: 7 p.m. Dec. 14; 2 and 7 p.m. Dec. 15; noon and 3 p.m. Dec. 16
Where: Skidmore College Dance Theater, 815 N. Broadway, Saratoga Springs
Tickets: $19; seniors and students, $16; children 10 and under, $13

Thus they do not need it. Any hoe the amount requiered to keep it reduced is so low you do not need to worry about. Grow the bacteria.

When I first heard that Caroline Calouche & Co. were bringing a new collection of choreographies, Spring Forward, to the McBride/Bonnefoux Center, I already surmised that the title might just as easily been Spring Upwards without any loss of accuracy. For Calouche & Co. are proponents of aerial dance in all its varieties.
And indeed, with all the apparatuses that were to be used in the six pieces already in place before the program began, the McBride/Bonnefoux's main studio looked like an aerial dance factory. A trapeze, a suspended hoop, bungee cords, twin aerial silks and slings, and a huge suspended skeleton of a cube were all reasonably secured to the flyloft - no dancers fell, anyway.
Calouche herself was the busiest dancer in her 11-person troupe, particularly when the choreographies went airborne. She can also be a busy choreographer, as her opening piece, "Solo con... ," demonstrated. Less would have been more as this solo unfolded on a trapeze, set to music by Lucovico Einaudi. Held positions were graceful and beautiful, softly dramatized by Jennifer O'Kelly's lighting, but the transitions between them were usually rushed and unmusical.
Members of the company have obviously been strongly encouraged to venture into choreography, with three of the next four pieces choreographed by troupers: "Human" by Reba Bowens, "Shadows" by Jim Reynolds, and "Out of Ashes" by Allison Hagaman. Calouche reciprocated by setting a fine new aerial piece, "what brings us close," for her four ensemble dancers, Emily Burns, Ayla Claypool, Jamie Larkin, and Briana Mazzio.
The most intriguing and experimental piece of the evening united Calouche, Reynolds, Dominique Anderson, and Colton Southworth in the choreography and concepting. "Free to Live" took up the entire second half of the program, beginning with all the dancer/choreographers walking onstage as if getting ready to start a rehearsal session - except for Southworth, who was replaced by Reynolds. Action started with two additional uncredited performers planted at either side of the audience calling out suggestions for the dancers to follow.
Informality was gradually replaced by a structured medley of dance segments - solos, pas de deux, and ensembles - on most of the aerial devices arrayed before us. A large table was brought in from the wings and somehow inverted into an aerial apparatus as the fantasy progressed, with music by Rodrigo y Gabriela, Solex, Andre Hajj Ensemble, Silvano Michelino, Rokia Traoré, Julie Fowlis, Tribal Metamorphosis, and Olatunji all in the whirl of the soundtrack. The dozen or more segments could stand some trimming - and the recorded text at the end was unintelligible - but the daring and overall vision were compelling. The segment when that cube finally came into play was definitely a keeper.
During their first full season at the McBride/Bonnefoux, Caroline Calouche & Co. have certainly earned an encore. They will get it when they move over to Booth Playhouse, where they will become the Blumenthal Performing Arts' resident company for the 2012-13 season.


text: In light of the upcoming change to 3.0 (quilt) source package format and Raphael Hertzog's guidelines suggesting that we not use tarball in tarball packages, I'm re-evaluating my habit of using this pattern. There are many reasons that I prefer to use tarball in tarball, but there are two that I can't find a straightforward way around with the new format: * I like to have an exact copy of the downloaded source tarball with the same md5 checksum, gpg detached signature, etc. Using the rules/tarball.mk from cdbs provides a very convenient way of handling this. * I manage my debian directories in subversion, and I use svn-buildpackage to build. I always use "mergeWithUpstream". Sometimes I want to do something more involved, so I just manually extract my .orig.tar.gz files. I can't do this without tarball in tarball if my packages either contain their own debian directories that I don't use or if they extract to a directory other than pkg-version. So, is using tarball in tarball considered "bad" these days? Is it viewed as an approach that once had its time but is now discouraged, or is it just a matter of personal preference and creating a README.source that tells the user what to do file makes it all okay? I want my packages to be in the best possible shape, so I'm trying to decide whether I should go to the trouble of changing my personal packaging habits to work around the two issues above. Some of these will be easier to handle after we can switch to 3.0 (quilt), but as far as I know, there is no way to replace your .orig.tar.gz without changing the package version, and I don't want to introduce epochs for this. Advice welcome. In the absence of any specific suggestions, I'll just continue to use tarball in tarball and will wait to restructure my packages until after we can switch to 3.0 (quilt). I'm going to try to make a decision soon since I have a new upstream version of ICU ready to upload to experimental as soon as I resolve this. Thanks. -- Jay Berkenbilt <email@example.com>

Listening to Dave Ramsey's radio show, you notice his advice to a single person is slightly different than to married couples. As a single person, you can make a decision on your own and don't have to get the opinion of others. I agree with this; especially since I do not need as much information to make a decision is Andrea does.
Since I like being married to Andrea, I have had to grow as a person to allow us to work together as a team. Though, I still have a lot to learn (ask Andrea) I have made a short list of things I have learned so far.
- I have to think of us as a team to better make decisions.
- I have to understand that Andrea's thinks differently than I do (She has taken the DISC which helps me understand)
- To work together as a team I need to communicate well. Even though we are a team we still have our individual thoughts and opinions.
- If I want to do something major (like start a business or make a large purchase) I have to give her time to warm up to the idea. I need to remember that I have spent a lot of time considering it before she even knew about it.
- I need to get her to help me make decisions so that she has ownership in them.
- We cannot do anything without trust
Interestingly, I hear from so many spouses who want to make a significant change (i.e start a business, change careers, etc.), but their significant other will not allow them to. In many cases, this can be solve with patience, communication, and trust. That is why I wrote a workbook, outlining the process I use (integrating the above mentioned skills) to get Andrea to allow me to start a business. The same skills I use to get Andrea to allow me to start a business are the same skills I use to get her to allow me to do other things, so the skills are transferable.
Anyone can get married but it takes growth and learning to stay married. How have you grown through being married?

Company Budgets for Salary Increases Are Forecast to Be Lowest in 25 Years
Money forecast to be budgeted for coming-year salary increases has hit a 25-year low, a key survey indicates.
The Conference Board Annual Salary Increase Budgets Survey, released a week before Labor Day, reports the lowest yearly forecast for company salary budgets since the survey began 25 years ago.
The 2010 median forecast salary-increase budget is 3.0% in all employee categories, down a half percent from the previous year. (Salary-increase budgets refer specifically to the pool of money that an organization dedicates to salary increases for the coming year. Generally, it is represented as a percentage of current payroll.)
Along with The Conference Board's labor-market indicators, "this historic low suggests that, entering this holiday weekend, workers shouldn't be looking forward to much improvement in the labor market," says Linda Barrington, managing director of human capital at The Conference Board.
Changing market conditions throughout 2009 pushed companies to adjust downward their salary increases as the economy worsened. Comparing what companies originally forecast for their 2009 salary-increase budgets and where they report actually expecting to finish the year is revealing.
The Conference Board survey reports a full percentage-point drop in the medians of the 2009 salary-increase budgets in all employee categories except executive, from 3.5% to 2.5%. But it was the executive category that took the biggest hit – down two full percentage points (from 3.5% to 1.5%).
Across industry categories, Insurance reports the highest 2010 forecasts for salary-increase budgets in all employee categories, 3.5%, while Communications reports the lowest in all employee categories—2.5%. A median forecast of 2.5% is also reported for the salary-increase budgets for executives in the Energy/Agriculture industry.
While the median forecast salary-increase budget is low, the typical employer is still budgeting for salary increases ahead of inflation in 2010. Suppressed, in part, by slack in production capacity, The Conference Board projects the inflation rate to be 2% this coming year.
The information for this report was gathered from 291 companies surveyed between April 7 and April 30.
Definition: Salary increase budgets refer specifically to the pool of money that an organization dedicates to salary increases for the coming year. It is represented as a percentage of current payroll generally; the salary increase budget is calculated using a predetermined total percentage of base pay (excluding overtime, bonuses, etc.). The budget is used for awarding merit or performance increases to individual employees, as well as for pay adjustments such as promotional increases. Salary increase budgets can also include scheduled "step" increases or salary increases that have been pre-determined via individual contracts or collective-bargaining agreements.

The Major League Baseball Player's Association filed a grievance against the Mets and the Commissioner's Office on Tuesday to contest the Mets' placement of Francisco Rodriguez on the Disqualified List.
The Mets announced the decision to place Rodriguez on the list Monday after they determined that he injured his right pitching thumb during his encounter with the grandfather of his children. By placing him on the list, Rodriguez's contact became a non-guaranteed one.
Rodriguez underwent surgery on this thumb Monday in Manhattan and is expected to miss the rest of the season. No date has been set for the first hearing yet.
The Mets issued the following statement:

Our wilderness is under an unprecedented attack from Trump and anti-conservationists in Congress. Help us fight back.
What Happened: It didn't make much news in light of the Gulf Coast oil spill and thwarted terror plot in New York City, but citizens across the U.S. accomplished something important over the past six weeks: They got involved in a federal decision making process and told Obama administration they want greater protection for our national forests.
WASHINGTON – As the Obama administration sets out to determine the future for the 193-million-acre National Forest System, a coalition of conservation organizations is calling on people to make their voices heard. They'll get that chance from March 29 through May 12 when the U.S. Forest Service hosts a series of roundtable discussions with citizens across the country to determine how the forests are managed for generations.
OLYMPIA - Congress and the Obama administration are responding with on-the-ground results in response to appeals by a coalition of conservation groups and the state Departments of Ecology and Fish & Wildlife.
Federal action is now occurring to repair and reclaim crumbling national forest roads in Washington state that have been harming endangered salmon and clean water.
LOS ANGELES — Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced legislation today to preserve the spectacular heritage of the California desert by creating two new National Monuments and expanding Joshua Tree and Death Valley National Parks and the Mojave National Preserve. The bill would establish new wilderness areas in Death Valley National Park and on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the US Forest Service. Finally, the legislation would also establish a permitting process for all renewable energy projects on BLM land.
DENVER – The Wilderness Society is calling on the U.S. Forest Service to carefully spend an additional $40 million that Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack committed today "to address public safety concerns and forest health needs arising from the millions of acres of dead and dying trees from bark beetle infestations in the West." He made the announcement with Colorado Governor Bill Ritter.
"Tom Tidwell is a good choice for chief of the Forest Service. As regional forester in the Northern Region, he understands that the American public expects our national forests to supply us with clean water as well, intact wildlife habitat, and world-class recreational opportunities. He has been a strong supporter of protecting wild lands, including roadless lands.
WASHINGTON — Representatives Ron Kind (D-Wisc.) and Walter Jones (R-NC) introduced legislation today aimed at sustaining healthy populations of fish, wildlife and plants on federal public lands – setting off a round of applause from sportsmen's organizations, conservation groups and outdoor enthusiasts across the country.
Conservation groups filed a lawsuit today in the U.S. District Court challenging the Idaho Roadless Rule. According to the lawsuit, the Bush administration violated laws to remove protection for 400,000 acres of Idaho roadless lands and to weaken protection for an additional 5 million acres of pristine Idaho lands.
The U.S. Forest Service itself predicts the Idaho rule, which affects all 9.3 million acres of Idaho roadless lands, will more than triple road construction — up to 50 miles of new roads in 15 years — and almost double logging up to 15,000 acres.
BOZEMAN — A Science and Policy Brief released by The Wilderness Society emphasizes the importance of conducting ecosystem monitoring on the growing number of restoration projects across the West. Forest restoration projects are being broadly applied on our western lands where unnaturally dense, homogenous, or even aged trees from past forestry practices are manged to reestablish more natural forest function.
MENDOCINO COUNTY, CA — A new television commercial that begins airing today marked the launch of an educational campaign aimed at increasing support for the Forest Service to conduct more controlled burns in California's Mendocino National Forest. The "Restore the Mendo" campaign seeks to boost awareness of the role such burns play in restoring forest ecosystems, protecting people and property, and saving taxpayer dollars.

I was thoroughly impressed they took the time to focus on me and I didn't feel rushed at all. Thank you for that.

I love Dr. Spooner very much. My only complaint is the office's wait times. Every year I experience over an hour wait from my appointment time. My most recent visit was on Nov 30, 2016 at 9:20 a.m. I arrived at 9:15 and checked in. At 10 I asked the receptionist to inquire about the delay. She called back to the nurse's station and was told I would be taken back next. I was taken back to an exam room about 10:05 and changed into the gown. Dr. Spooner came in about 10:30! That's over an hour past my apptmt time. No apology or explanation offered. This seems to happen each time I come for my annual visit. I would love to see this addressed because otherwise I truly like the office and Dr. Spooner.

I have gone to her for over 10 years. Best OBGYN I have ever known.
Dr Spooner is a fantastic doctor. She is friendly, kind, direct, supportive and extremely knowledgeable. Her team is also fantastic. I have also had surgery with Dr Spooner twice and had great experiences both time. Highest recommendation.
I felt like Dr. Spooner was very thorough in her questions to me, her answers to my questions and her recommendations. She did not rush through the visit or the exam and I felt like she would be there until all my concerns were addressed. Dr. Spooner met with me to discuss everything before I undressed for the exam.........small thing, but I really appreciated that.
the wait is extremely too long, other patients in the waiting room was also talking about how long they had to wait on several occasions, something need to be done about that...unexceptable practice.
she is very professional and concerned..
Nice, friendly staff. Dr. Spooner made me feel comfortable and thoroughly explained everything. She was very pleasant.

Dr Spooner is a caring physician and takes the time to explain medical procedures well. She took great care of my sister during an out patient surgical procedure.
She was excellent in all aspects. I would definetly recommend Dr. Spooner for female treatment. Thanks
I have been seeing Dr. Spooner for about 2 years. I think she is great, and really takes the time to listen to you. If you have to wait a little longer in the waiting room just know that is because she is spending her time answering questions with others and she will with you too if needed. She never appears to be in too big of a hurry to talk with you. She explains everything very well too. I would say the only thing I can say against this great recommendation is that her nurse almost never calls me back and I have to call multiple times and leave a message with the front desk. This can be extremely frustrating when you need an order faxed somewhere, or a refill on a prescription. I also do not expect them to call back right away, but the answering message states they will call you back the same day if you call before a certain time.
She is very thorough and I would highly recommend her to anyone that is looking for a OBGYN.
I really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Spooner. The office was friendly and professional. She was very caring and informative.
She is a wonderful Doctor.
Very patient and understanding of my complex medical history. Understood and assisted me in getting the care I need.
It could not have gone any better! She was professional, kind, gentle, and very informative. Highly recommend!!
My primary care doctor diagnosed me with fibroids in August. I selected Dr. Spooner for my fibroid treatment based on the reviews here. Dr.Spooner ask me if I have been there before. And I tell her no. This is my first visit to the office. She says that I look familiar. She then proceeds to read over the ultrasound report that my primary care doctor faxed over. She tells me that she is not impressed with the size of my fibroids since she has seen larger and that were pressing on the patients diaphragm. Okay! She does a quick exam hands me a pamphlet about fibroids. She quickly rattled off different options. She did not explain what to expect before the surgery, during the surgery or after. How would the surgery be performed. Perhaps that would have been explained at pre-op? Needless to say based on my two office visits with her I would not feel comfortable with Dr. Spooner performing my surgery. Also, she made me feel like she wasn't interested in performing my surgery due to my weight. I am sure she has had overweight pregnant patients before. I can not recommend her to family or friends.
I was a new patient today and a little nervous to see her, but she was very gentle! She answered all of my questions and was very helpful. Very thorough.
Dr. Spooner was fantastic to work with. She spent a good deal of time with me and answered all my questions/concerns. I would highly recommend her to other women looking for an OBGYN.
I really like Dr Spooner. she was able to answer all our questions very clearly. she was knowledgeable. Very good bed side manners. Would def recommend her
I'm so blessed to have Dr. Spooner as my doctor. She's been an amazing physician for many years for me. Love that she listens and HEARS me!! She's so caring!!! Love HER!!!
It was good as always
She was wonderful! My visit was great she was patient and asked me questions and answered all of mine.
Dr. Spooner was very nice and informative. This was my first visit with her but I'm definitely going to continue coming here.
I love the whole experience everytime. From the front desk, to the nurse and checkout, It is always friendly and fast. I love Dr. Spooner and everyone in that office. They are awesome!
I was very pleased with my appointment. Dr Spooner was very professional & made me feel comfortable. She was warm & caring.
Dr. Spooner is about as good as it gets. I have seen 2 other OBGYN's and was not nearly as satisfied with my visits. Everyone in her office is very friendly and as embarrassing and awkward as these appointments can be, I have never felt uncomfortable. She talks to you in a comfortable manner, and she listens well. When she explains things its in laymens terms so you can understand what she is telling you. Any question that you might have she will answer, no eye rolling or laughing. There are refreshments in the waiting room and its overall a very nice location. Give her a try!
She was very nice and i didn't feel awkward at all!!
Very happy with Dr. Spooner, I felt like she actually cared about my well being which is hard to find now adays.
Very professional and personable. I didn't have a long wait and time with the doctor wasn't rushed.
Before living the office I schedule my next year visit.??
There was no wait to see her and she was very attentive to my needs! She also clearly explained my condition. I have complete confidence in Dr. Spooner!
Dr. Spooner has been my doctor for the past 13 years and delivered all three of my children. I look forward to seeing her every year and know that she will be able to answer all of my questions. She is a highly intelligent doctor with excellent bedside manner and operates at the highest professional level. I would recommend her to anyone in need of an OB/GYN.
awesome as always love dr spooner i always know that i am in excellent hands!
I love Dr. Spooner and have been going to her since I was pregnant with my first child (2002). I have since changed jobs that took me from Plano to Irving and I kept her as my ob-gyn and drive to Plano. This visit doesn't change my mind. She is very smart but doesn't have an ego and will refer you to a specialist if she needs to (which I have needed a few times). That referral will be to a doctor she would go to or would send a family member to if she/they were in the same shoes. She truly has her patients best interest in mind and will take the time to answer any questions you have...which makes me not so impatient in the waiting room.
I love Dr. Spooner because, she is wonderfully kind, and very professional. She took her time and did not rush through her examination. She answered all my questions with more information than expected and was very easy to talk to! BEST OBGYN and I highly recommend her!
Liked Dr. Spooner very much. This was my first time to see her.
The Doctor is phenomenal! However, I would never recommend this office because of the office staff. I have been trying to fix a billing issue for over a year now. I'll call the office and leave a voicemail and won't receive a call back. I call several times during the day until I'm finally able to reach someone. Even after all that they lie and say they've called my insurance company. I have called my insurance several times and they have as of October 2015 have 36 call logs from me and only 2 logs from the office staff. I have tried to have a three way conversation from my insurance and the office but every time I try the office will no pick up the phone. My insurance has tried to get in contact with the office several times as well, leaving voice mails and receiving no call-back. The doctor should reevaluate her staff.
Dr. Spooner is knowledgeable, engaging, experienced and totally great in her relating to women (at least this woman:). She truly listens and explains.
She is very attentive, listens to all of your conserns. Very pleasant and competent doctor!
Dr. Spooner is very knowledgeable and stays current on the latest medical research. She is always professional and personable.
Dr. Spooner was amazing! I had questions about infertility and she was SO very helpful. I'm happy to be working with such a nice, well educated professional through this tough matter. Also her staff was probably the best and kindest I've ever had in a doctors office!!! Glad I found Dr. Spooner and her staff.
Very through and has a great bedside manner.
It had been a few years since seeing Dr Spooner, time just has a way of getting away from us. But after my appointment with her, I realized what I had missed. Her professional yet so warm manner is so welcoming. Her knowledge and understanding of my issues was so reassuring. Everything we want in our Doctors I have and will continue to refer patients to her.
I absolutely LOVE her! Professional and compassionate!
Excellent Doctor! Thank You, Dr. Spooner for helping me regain control of my life. I recommend this doc to anyone in need of a good OBGYN.
Very Professional! Listened to my concern as well as offered her professional opinion regarding my treatment.
I had not been to see a gynecologist in many years. Dr. Spooner was very professional and supportive. I didn't feel judged. She gave solid medical advice and I felt she listened and didn't rush me.
She is so personable...I feel very comfortable discussing any medical issues with her.She is knowledgeable and caring..I have referred several of my friends to her and they feel the same way..Thank You DR.Spooner.
Dr. Spooner manages my overall health not just the female stuff. She's terrific and after 14 years, won't go anywhere else.
Great visit with Dr. Spooner. She was very professional, friendly, and thorough. I've been seeing her for several years and she has always been this way. She is also timely. My entire visit from check to check out was no more than 45 minutes.
Skeptical at first after reading other reviews. Glad I listened to myself and went anyway. VERY THOROUGH! EXCELLENT BEDSIDE MANGER MADE ME FEEL VERY COMFORT ABLE BEST DE I DOIN I EVER MADE FULL CON FINGERS IN DISCUSSION!!!!!
Dr. SPOONER has been my Dr since 2012. She is so professional and kind. During my appointment she explains things so clearly to me. I think she is by far the best.
This is our second baby and absolutely love Dr. Spooner. She spends a lot of time with her patients which unfortunately makes your wait time longer but she's sooooo worth it! I have and will continue to recommend her.
Great!!!! The whole team of Dr. Spooner is great!
Dr Spooner is an awesome doctor. She's very caring and attentive. She listens to your problem and wants to find real solutions. I am glad I found her!
Love Melinda Spooner! She has a great bedside manner and helps address any concerns without it being awkward.
The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The nurse were very nice and knowledgeable as well and they had a sense of humor too. Dr. Spooner was so Awesome,professional,and down to earth. She kept it professional and also thorough with the her work. I very much enjoyed and LOVED my visit! Love the entire staff!
Smart and easy to talk to.
Melinda was great! Took care of all my concerns. So glad I found her!!!
Dr. Spooner came highly recommended by a family member and I love her too.
Very professional, excellent bedside manner, extremely informative and helpful.
I really enjoyed it. She was gentle and kind with me.
She's always super personable and makes you feel very at-ease in a uncomfortable situation. She's thorough and gives you the time you need while in your room-never in a rush. I have great respect for her and have gone to her for about 10 years! She is exactly what you want in a doctor!!
Dr Spooner is always pleasant, professional, direct and honest. She is a highly skilled physician and also kind. Highly recommend. Other medical practitioners have also raved about her.
The office personnel were very pleasant and helpful. The office was well appointed, clean and neat. Dr. Spooner was nice and professional and focused on the reason for my visit. She offered suggestions and gave me an RX to try.
She listened to my concerns and helped me find an answer. I hopefully go back in a few weeks to have an IUD inserted. The entire staff there are so friendly!
I had issue for several years. Dr did not GI beyond to check blood or hormone level. It was a waste of time and I heard the same song from 15 doctors. Metrogel does not work.
Dr. Spooner has been my ob/gyn for fourteen years. She delivered both of my sons and she's the best doctor I've ever had. I'll be a patient for life!
I recently relocated and was in search for a doctor but its hard to find one that open and make you feel comfortable; but I found her! Dr. Spooner was very attentive and explained everything to the fullest, I definitely recommend her.
Unfortunately, I waited over an hour to be seen which was annoying. She was not rude, but was straight to the point and if you are sensitive like me it was hard to take. I know what she was saying is true but it was hard to hear. I basically felt like she would not treat me unless I lost weight. On the other hand I did feel like she was very knowledgeable, and mentioned some things to me no other doctor had. Still debating on if I will return or not, because I really felt horrible about myself when I left.
Dr. Melinda Spooner is amazing! She is very knowledgeable and has a caring attitude that makes you feel she is genuinely interested in you. She's a beautiful woman with a sweet spirit and I thought that she did an excellent job making me feel comfortable, especially during a well-woman exam! Highly recommend!
I would highly recommend Dr. Spooner. She was knowledgeable and courteous, as was the office staff.
Dr. Spooner was very professional but also a great listener. She asked me all the questions that gave her a clear and precise picture of my physical and emotional being. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
She was very thorough and answered each of my questions in a way that I could understand.
I have been seen by Dr. Spooner for the last 10 years and I wouldn't go any where else. Dr. Spooner puts you at ease immediately and addresses all concerns while making an otherwise uncomfortable exam bearable. I would recommend to any woman seeking a compassionate and understanding OB-GYN.
She is the best Dr.
Dr. Spooner was recommended to me by a friend and she is very efficient and makes you feel at ease.
I am 64yrs and have seen many Doctors through my years thus far. Dr. Spooner is by far one of the very best!! **I highly recommend her. Go to her with complete confidence that you are in the best of care.** Dr. Spooner is very knowledgeable in her field of expertise, thoughtful and considerate with her patients; takes the time to (really) listen and thoroughly answer all questions. Everything is done professionally and with excellent care and attention to the patient. After my first visit, I left knowing I have finally found an intelligent and competent physician. What a great relief to know she is one of my Doctors.
Love Dr. Spooner! Sadly I end up waiting an hour to be seen each time I go, though. I do wish that wasn't the case.
I waited almost one hour before being seen by the doctor. My appt was at 8.50, and I think she came in about 9.35 or 9.40. I also waited a long time to check out. The office also lost my request for my records.
Very friendly
Wonderful lady and doctor
I really appreciate Dr. Spooner's clinical manner. She is professional, yet warm. I never feel rushed with her. She is one of the best. Ethel J.
Much shorter wait time than in past visits. Thank you for working on this and making wait times shorter! Dr. Spooner, as always, was delightful and provided thorough care.
I have recommend DR. Spooner, to all my friends. I can't wait to have a baby for she can deliver it. I trust Dr spooner with my life.

I love Dr.Spooner! I have been with her for 16 years and I would recommend her to anyone.
Dr Spooner was good, however the wait time in the office was quite long.
very pleasant and professional
My visits with Dr Spooner have always been professional. She goes out of her way to explain and provide reference materials or recommend classes offered by local hospital. I absolutely would refer others to her. The office is very clean, staff is just as informative and friendly, and they utilize up to date equipment. You are in and out - there's no long wait time which is a plus should you have to return to work.
My visit with Dr. Spooner was as it always is, professional as well as personable. She asks questions and listens to what you have to say and your concerns. I feel very confident in her abilities and feel blessed to have her as one of my physicians

I absolutely love her and the staff. Have been going for 13 years and drive 30 extra minutes to see her.
Dr. Spooner was professional and caring. She appeared to be concerned about my issues and gave good advise. If you're searching for a doctor that doesn't treat you like a number, then I would highly recommend Dr. Spooner.
Dr. Spooner was AMAZING! She could not have been better. Dr. Melinda Spooner was extremely attentive to my needs, proactive with assessing my health conditions and ensuring I minimize future risks or exposure. Furthermore, she posed genuine concern about my weight and encouraged me to continue working out and eating healthy. Dr. Spooner was very easy to talk to and I felt comfortable addressing any health concerns with her :).
I really like Dr. Spooner but I waited for 45 minutes this time. I always wait more than 30 minutes sometimes one hour. I wish her office keeps wait time less than 30 minutes.
I was very pleased with Dr. Spooner and her professionalism and knowledge. She was very helpful as well as her staff. I am glad that I was able to find her and I'm looking forward to visiting her again in the future.
Very professional and personable at the same time---as usual.
Dr. Spooner is great!

My visit was great! Dr. Spooner is always professional and personable. She provides me with good information and takes time to answer my questions & address any concerns I have.
I have been to Dr. Spooner's office several times now, and I do not anticipate changing physician's. The ENTIRE staff is very professional, personable, and friendly. I am extremely comfortable with Dr. Spooner and have built a rapport with her. She goes above and beyond what is required, and asks probing questions to ensure she addresses all needs of her patients. She gets an A+ grade from me.
Very good visit, she was informative, helpful, warm, understanding and listen to my concerns. I would recommend others to her. I just regret it took me this long to find a doctor that really cares. Thank you Dr. Spooner.
Great visit! Dr. Spooner is very thorough and extremely professional!
I have known Dr. Spooner for almost 12 years, and she has always been wonderful. I had all three of my kids with her. She takes her time answering all of my concerns and really cares about her patients. I really recommend her.
She is the best! So infomative and I feel safe in her hands. She delivered my son! Couldnt have asked for more. No problems, shes very proactive so there were no surprises.
I appreciated the fact that she didn't pressure me into mainstream birth control options or vaccinations. Will definitely continue to see her.
This was my first visit and Dr Spooner was great. She is very personable and made the visit as comfortable as possible.
It was my first time to visit with Dr. Spooner, and I felt very comfortable speaking with her. She was very personable & patient with me when answering any questions that I had.

She was so patient with all my concerns. She never hurried me and I was very impressed by how knowledgeable she was about menopausal symptoms and how to treat them. Her staff is awesome and her office manager and nurse went out of their way to help me and had such a sweet manner while doing it!
She is awesome! She answered all my questions as well as helped me feel comfortable. She helped me to understand things I would not have felt comfortable asking.
I been seeing her for over 10 years she's great.

very caring and professional
Best doctor EVER!!
Dr. Spooner provides professional compassionate individualized care.
I've seen Dr. Spooner several times the last couple months and the only small downside is the wait time. I always get in the exam room quickly, however once the nurse leaves it takes over 30 min usually for Dr. Spooner to come in. Today I had a procedure and she was very very helpful and very knowledgeable with everything she did. I dont think I could have received the same quality care at my old doctor. This woman knows what she's doing and exactly how to make comfortable in an otherwise uncomfortable situation. Highly recommend!
Love it
I've been a patient for years and I wouldn't trust my health to anyone else. Dr. Spooner is the greatest.
Great visit!
I always had a wonderful visit with her....She is very calm and has loads of patience for answering all the queries....
She's awesome
Dr. Spooner was very timely, professional and personable. She was thorough and answered all my questions.
Only my first appointment and I already love her! She fit me in & i was the last patient of the day! I was there later than normal office hours but never felt rushed or anything! She was patient, took her time, and addressed all of my concerns! My biggest turn off in a doctor is bad bed side manner because of having too many patients-- I never got that vibe from Dr. Spooner! I am excited to be her patient and I am glad that I chose her!
This is my first pregnancy and Dr Spooner totally makes me feel at ease throughout this journey. I would absolutely recommend her to my friends.
I did not enjoy the hour long wait time, but it was clearly an "off" day with computer problems and the like. The doc was in Excellent spirits, despite the setbacks and still spent ample time with me, I did not feel rushed with her in the slightest. They offered coffee, tea, and water in the lobby which was totally unexpected and awesome! Staff and nurses were all friendly and personable. I definitely recommend this office and look forward to being back next year (which never happens for me to look forward to "this" appointment!) Thank you!
I think Dr. Spooner really cares about her patients. She inspires you to take better care of yourself. I would recommend her to anyone.
Dr. Spooner was awesome, she made me feel very comfortable. My appointment was very great overall.

Professional, thorough, friendly, and prompt.
Dr. Spooner is always straight forward, open to questions, and keeps great records so that you don't feel you are repeating yourself each time you come.

SECRETARY KERRY: Minister Kishida, thank you for hosting us. And Minister Yun, thank you very much. I want to thank you both for our meetings in your respective countries, and I want to congratulate Minister Yun on his visit with his President -- President Park's visit to China. It was a very good visit, important for all of us.
The three of us, our countries, are working very, very hard together on a number of critical issues, and we want to say thank you to you for the quality of the cooperation, which is important not just to our countries, but it's important to the region. The cooperative effort between the United States, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, has made a difference, not only with respect to the North Korean provocations, but it has sent a strong signal about the strength of our alliance, and I think it's sent a strong signal about other interests that we have, particularly maritime security, issues with respect to regional security, and that's what we're here to affirm today. We join you in making it absolutely clear that the policy of the United States, together with the Republic of Korea and Japan, is the denuclearization of the -- North Korea.
I just had a bilateral meeting with the Chinese Foreign Minister, with Wang Yi, and we both reaffirmed strongly the seriousness with which we are both committed, we are all committed, with China, to the policy of denuclearization. So now we have to make sure we translate commitment to the policy into the reality of achieving policy through the denuclearization itself. And we will continue that discussion in a few days in Washington in a strategic and economic dialogue with China, and we look forward to working with you to accomplish this goal.
So let me just say thank you for the strength of this relationship. This relationship, the three of us here, is really the foundation of the strategic relationship of this region, and it has proven its durability, it's proven its value, and today we look forward to further discussions about how we go in the next steps in terms of our cooperative efforts. So thank you very much, Mr. Minister.
