So i just tried to re-register on metsblog.com as it seems Matt reopened his comment section. It seems that i am able to review the posts that other bloggers made but i cannot comment on behalf of myself. Now i have tried on Firefox and Internet Explorer, only to find the same result. We started this site because we felt Matt was ignoring his bloggers that constantly give him traffic and makes his site the success that it is. How true to form i guess that Matt aparently has some of us blocked already. Its funny though, i joined Metsblog a 2 years ago and i attribue alot of my knowledge about the game to the debates and dialogue i had on that site. It just amazes me that for a simple request, Matt allowed this to go this far. I am interested to know if any of you have experianced the same thing. As far as this blogger…its safe to put me on the "ex-metsblog.com" blogger list…as im curious to know how the people outside his 50 "most trusted" bloggers feel about it. While i couldnt help myself with this quote above…it seems all too appropriate.
27 thoughts on "If Your Reading This…You Are The Resistance…"
yea, thats too bad. For him that is….Let his trusted 50 comment all they want. Dont really care.
I honestly am not even willing to go back and see if i am blocked or not. Not going to give him the hits to his site. In time, with more quality posts, we will have a nice sized community of educated fans.
good riddance to Cerrone and Metsblog
here here…
Same here.
I really did try to put myself in his shoes and view this as he apparently was. No matter how I thought about it though, it appears to me he lost control (or what he perceives his control) and it was through no fault of his own.
It's a damn shame someone with that much exposure who built a hobby into a successful business, would feel that insecure about said business….
I can't see myself trying to participate over there anymore. It just feels like too much censure. And to tell the truth, I absolutely love the posts here better being written by our fine author. Some much more relaxed.
Great job! –And thanks for 'letting' me participate as a commenter!
Jeeze – authors – plural! (Sorry). They've all been great and much fun to read.
thanks decades..what gets me is..i did the same as you in that i tried to put myself in his shoes. He had only ONE issue..just ONE issue to fix. Soo insignificant and he allowed it to get this big. Had he just changed his comment section as his fans asked him to do(and its not like he even goes there anymore) we ALL would still be on Metsblog right now…i guess things happen for a reason but this..imo is so childish and unnecessary.
I browse the blogs for information. I generally don't post since the level of viciousness over the most inconsequential subjects on the internet is quite high. I found this blog from scanning some of the comments at Metsblog so I assume you were all part of the Metsblog comments community and found yourself at odds with Mr. Cerrone. As you're finding out running a blog and keeping it populated with interesting subjects is not easy. I wish you the very best of luck.
no it is not easy and whats worse is that im not being paid to do this. The reason (im speaking for myself) i found myself at odds with Mr. Cerrone was just a simple request to change the format of the comment section to a format he already had. Several people also commented the same. Days turned into week..weeks turned into months. Since we make a small percentage of his polls apparently we are insignificant to the success of his blog. Now while i agree with you that running a blog is not as easy as it looks, when you have you work cut out for you..especially from the people that help you make your living…why not do it. Thats my beef with cerrone…and to top it off, he opens the comment section for a "select" group of bloggers…what kind of business man does that. Im fine with where i am at over here. Thanks for the luck gate. I hope you can continue to come here and feel free to express your mind in an intelligent and constructive manner. You will never feel that your opinions on how to improve this place will got unnoticed.
I too dirty could not log in as thereal. I reregistered as trs86 but have not made a post yet. Saving it for the future.
im not going to bother…not going to give cerrone the pleasure of my time and efforts
Funny thing is I was never really at odds with Cerrone. We just wanted our comment section back and him to listen and acknowledge our position.
I was a supporter for a long while, even when the tide began to turn. Some couldn't wait to jump on first to each post and point out the factual and spelling mistakes. I used to just shake my head as even if I noticed them, I didn't feel I was above anybody to correct them.
What finally got to me is I really enjoyed the debates back and forth, especially on non game posts, and the format made it impossible to do so. It changed sometimes daily. No mention of why, no matter how many asked. The more time went by without a mention, the more vicious it got. Then the final post blaming his loyal readers for the problem.
I don't own/run any blogs, and certainly not for my livelihood, but I believe you need thicker skin than that to survive.
agreed. To think he is getting paid for it. It just boggles my mind for such a insignificant request and it had to get to this point. Just change it back to the old format…its not like you had to create a new one.
Diry, sorry but sent you another email. We gotta make some decisions.
Agreed, I never really cared about the grammar or misspelling. I can't do either, social studies teacher LOL. However, I really felt that as he became more important in Mets word he forgot where he came from and who helped him get there.
and to think i defended the guy when the sticklers came out to attack him with his grammer..even more so THE PEOPLE THAT ARE "BANISHED" FROM METS BLOG WERE THE ONES THAT WERE EVEN POLICING THE SITE! Matt never really policed that site and we all banned together and policed it for him and this is how we get rewarded…
Agreed, ALL of this could have been avoided if HE had taken the time to either police the board himself or allow a moderator. Many of us offered.
I still really thought that WE were part of the 50 trusted bloggers. I wonder who the hell are the 50? There is none of the crew left over there. I also wonder that if we had not started this if he planned on us being that? I still can't accept that he would turn on his loyal and biggest supporters.-
apparently we are not included on the loyal and biggest supporters list real…that is what pisses me off the most…i mean we fought alot of the morons that posted the "get manny" or alex when he started with his wright bull. It was a SIMPLE request….thats just what boggles my mind. I replied to your email btw
everything said here makes sense…
thing with this site, is everyone has to make sure they have seen what CAN happen if you let success go to your head…we can hope that the new venture does well, but lets all remember, this is a for the fans by the fans operation
Thing is, I don't know how he made the determination who were his 'trusted' and who were not. By his own admission, he hardly ever read any of the comments.
I'm willing to bet it was by sheer numbers alone that he made his decision. As I know I made several comments on just about every post, I probably was one flagged as a 'problem'. LOL.
No matter. It's probably a good thing for me. I really didn't realize until he shut it down and you all started this one, the difference an atmosphere can make. Didn't realize I wasn't enjoying myself anymore – but I am once again.
hey, its funny if bill and alex are part of the 50…. then we know we made the right decision.
I guess I'm part of the sorry outcasts. Got the invalid username message.
Love the disclaimer though:
The comment section of this website is for adding your own commentary to a specific post on MetsBlog.com. I highly encourage you to challenge me, your fellow readers and to engage in an intelligent discussion about the initial post. However, should you personally attack a fellow reader, in any way, your comment will be removed. If you are making random, unrelated remarks for the sake of writing to this blog your comment will be removed. Swearing, racial slurs, violent remarks, and hateful comments directed towards me, my readers or the team, as well as irrelevant babble, are not welcome on this site. Also, altering the way words are spelled, such as adding symbols and random letters to disguise the remark, will not allow the comment to stand. If a reader continues to behave in this manner, he or she will have their posting privileges revoked. Good luck, welcome aboard, and Let's Go Mets.
What an A**hole!
hey case if you have a yahoo messenger account we are chatting now.
You wont find me on that site anymore based on principle alone. He can go f*** himself.
Do not give "The Blog That Has No Name" a second thought guys. Anyplace that treats its fan base the way it did after years of support is not worth it. Anyplace where freedom of speech is controlled by a inner circle and where opinions & suggestions that don't meet the "agenda" are frowned upon to the point where you must be conscious to tread carefully is no place you want to be.
The guy is an arrogant d******. F*** him, his site and his cohorts.
Guys, I'm having trouble registering to nleastchatter.

South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust
"Being the first NHS organisation to obtain this accreditation shows our level of maturity provides reassurance to the Trust that the ICT department is amongst the best, providing value for money."
Michael Dean talks to Ricky MacKennon, Deputy Director of ICT at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust about their accreditation to the National Computing Centre Standard for ICT Departments (ITDA).
What is the IT Department accreditation?
The assessment scheme which underpins the NCC ITDA examines an ICT department's performance against 110 common controls (Lines of Enquiry), enabling ICT departments to compare and understand their own strengths and weaknesses. The Standard covers five key aspects of an ICT function - all with a focus on their contribution to business goals:
- Business management
- Business direction
- Service generation
- Delivery and operations
- Customer relationships
Over fifty organisations have committed to undertake the assessment process with 27 having achieved full accreditation. All applicants going through the accreditation receive a bespoke Action Plan detailing actions that need to be undertaken and helping the ICT function to prioritise areas for improvement.
The ITDA accreditation scheme provides certification for those ICT departments who score well. The accreditation certificate is in recognition of appropriate practice against the NCC standard. South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust is the first NHS organisation to achieve full ITDA accreditation.
The background to SLaM
South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, or SLaM for short, is the UK's largest mental health Trust serving 1.1 million people from over 100 sites across South London in the Boroughs of Lewisham, Southwark, Lambeth and Croydon, and provides specialist services across the UK such as substance misuse services for people addicted to drugs and or alcohol. SLaM (www.slam.nhs.uk) is part of King's Health Partners Academic Health Sciences Centre a pioneering collaboration between Kings College London, and Guy's and St Thomas', Kings College Hospital and South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trusts.
King's Health Partners brings together an unrivalled range and depth of clinical and research expertise, spanning both physical and mental health. King's Health Partners drive improvements in care for patients, allowing them to benefit from breakthroughs in medical science and receive leading edge treatment at the earliest possible opportunity. (www.kingshealthpartners.org)
There are 8,000 users on the SLaM ICT network, 5,000 of whom are direct employees, with another 3,000 users employed by the Institute of Psychiatry King's College London, Social Services and Primary Care Trusts.
MacKennon in his role as Deputy Director of the ICT Department is responsible for the technical support teams and creating new business opportunities. The department with a head count of 82 was restructured in October 2010 to support the business in its shift from geographic to Clinical Academic Group (CAG) based structures.
Reasons for applying for accreditation
SLaM recognise the advantages of accreditation "This is all part of the staff commitment to service improvement and ICT must play its part in supporting the business." said MacKennon. Continual service improvement is a commitment that runs deep in ICT at SLaM. There is a lot of management support for good practice and continuous service improvement delivered with professionalism both inside and outside the department; individuals are always encouraged to attain relevant technical and non technical qualifications such as CCNA, PRINCE2 or ITIL to satisfy team and personal development.
"We are always looking to align our processes to industry best practice," said MacKennon, "It's important that the organisation gets the best service and value for money from its investment in ICT. It's also important that staff have goals to aim for and receive recognition for their achievements".
Uniquely, the ITDA provides a comparator to benchmark with other services in the industry as well as a mechanism for the whole department to be put to the test. Measuring the maturity of a function and using this as a comparator is important in distinguishing who is best placed to provide a service, supporting the aspiration of SLaM ICT in becoming the ICT service of choice was one of the reasons to undertake the accreditation to the National Computing Centre Standard for ICT Departments.
The ITDA process
MacKennon's experience of the ITDA process was very positive. "NCC's Assessor was very professional, and put us at ease from the initial meeting. The ITDA is all about showing how good practice used across all the disciplines in ICT comes together to deliver a great customer orientated service. Our approach was to delegate our preparatory work amongst the service heads. Due to our adoption of good practice we already had a lot the required evidence to hand, the structured framework of the ITDA allowed us to identify any gaps and resolve any potential non-compliance in time for assessment. We had been through other accreditations and were used to working that way, it was relatively straightforward to follow the NCC process."
On the assessment day, service heads presented SLaM's evidence of compliance for their area of excellence, work, and managerial responsibility, at the end of the session the Assessor was pleased to recommend accreditation, subject to the clarification of one particular Line of Enquiry. Evidence for this Line of Enquiry was provided quickly afterwards and the NCC moderator fully endorsed SLaM's accreditation.
The benefits
"The ITDA supported our approach to demonstrate the maturity of the department to the Trust and potential purchasers of ICT services. The accreditation provides us with supporting evidence to potential customers that gives us the potential to raise additional income streams from offering our ICT services to other NHS and Healthcare organisations." he said, "If our services and processes are independently recognised as excellent by the National Computing Centre, then alongside our scoring against the ITIL maturity rating and other good practice, together with the number of certificates displayed, we can reassure potential customers that our services are well managed, underpinned by quality processes and are ready to support their business."
ITDA, not only satisfies team development, but personal development as well.
When the department or an individual achieves an award, the certificate is displayed in a prominent communal area for visitors to see. Anyone who has been to the department can't help but notice the number of certificates on our wall and some have commented "how impressed they were with the achievements."
"We are all delighted with the result and at a service aligned to any business", MacKennon says. "Being the first NHS organisation to obtain this accreditation shows our level of maturity provides reassurance to the Trust that the ICT department is amongst the best, providing value for money. In addition the accreditation provides assurance that is evidenced to prospective customers that their ICT will be in safe hands. It will be a pleasure to put the certificate on our wall and it is a testament to the whole department that external assessment has confirmed that they can consistently deliver outstanding performance by the adoption of appropriate processes. I'd certainly recommend other organisations apply for accreditation, it's well worth it".

In the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, one of the main characters, Lady Macbeth changes quite drastically. Macbeth, Lady Macbeth's husband is predicted to become king of Scotland by three witches and she believes it is true. Lady Macbeth convinces her husband take that title when he is still contemplating the idea and he agrees before he can come to his senses. Lady Macbeth at first begins to convince Macbeth into things that ultimately lead to their downfall, but as Macbeth gains more power she becomes more reserved and womanly.
Paragraph 2: How Lady Macbeth is in the beginning of the play. -Quote #1: "The raven himself is hoarse that croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan under my embattlements" (1.5. 45-47). -Paraphrase of that quote: "The messenger announces the entrance of Duncan into my house, where he will die" (1.5. 45-47) - This is Lady Macbeth talking to herself, thinking murderous thoughts. -Quote #2: "When in swinish sleep their drenched natures lie as in a death, what cannot you and I perform upon th' unguarded Duncan?"(1.7. 77-80) -Paraphrase: "When the guards are asleep and so drunk, what won't you and I be able to do to the unguarded Duncan?" (1.7. 77-80) -This is Lady Macbeth talking to Macbeth. She came up with the plan to kill Duncan. -Quote #3: "O gentle lady, 'tis not for you to hear what I can speak" (2.3. 96-97). -This is Macduff talking to Lady Macbeth. This goes under the category of what others think of her. He thinks she is a gentle, proper lady.
Paragraph 3: How Lady Macbeth changes.
-Quote #1: "You must leave this" (3.2.40).
-Paraphrase: "Stop thinking this way" (3.2.40).
-This is Lady Macbeth talking to Macbeth as he tells her his plan to kill Banquo. She is against it, which is surprising since she was convincing Macbeth to kill Duncan. -Quote #2: "But in them nature's copy's not eterne" (3.2.43). -Paraphrase: "But they can't live forever" (3.2.43).
-Lady Macbeth is talking...

It is unlikely that an organism utilizing saddles as disruptive coloration would be found normally against a uniform background because adding structure to an otherwise featureless background would make the organism more visible.
In fishes, the saddles may disrupt the body outline when the fish is viewed over a heterogeneous substrate such as gravel.
We examined several aspects of the saddle pattern and the ecological characteristics of North American fishes in order to determine what elements in the pattern are important and which form of cry psis the fishes are utilizing. — 20 40 60 80 Saddled length (mm) Fig. 3.

Saddle 4 was excluded from this comparison because the saddled length and the distance to the midpoint of saddle 4 were nearly equal, differing only by half of the width of saddle 4.
Ratios of the saddle 2 distance and saddle 3 distance to saddled length were determined for each individual and then arcsine transformed to normalize the values.
An ANCOVA was applied to the arcsine transformed measurements of each saddle separately, holding the log transformed saddled length as the covariate.
The ANCOVA was followed by Tukey tests in order to compare individual pairs of species.
The data were also plotted as a linear regression of saddle distance to saddled length (Fig. 3).
The second comparison determined whether the placement of the saddles on the body within a species deviated from an evenly spaced pattern.
An interval was defined as the distance between the midpoints of successive saddles (Fig. 2).
A ratio of each interval to the sum of the intervals was determined and arcsine transformed.
These intervals were chosen instead of measuring the interspaces directly because the sum of the ratios of the intervals equals 1, making it easier to compare the relative interval size both intraspecifically and interspecifically.
To test whether species deviated from an evenly spaced pattern, an ANOVA was performed for each species on the arcsine transformed ratios of interval lengths to saddled length.
The AN OVA's were each followed by Tukey tests in order to determine if any of the following was true within a species: interval 1 = interval 2, interval 1 = interval 3, and interval 2 = interval 3. The significance of each of the linear regressions of saddle 2 distance and saddle 3 distance on saddled length (Fig. 3) was quite high for each of the five species (p < 0.00005).
All fishes, large or small, plotted closely to the regression line indicating that the effects of allometry are small.
The ANCOVA showed that there are differences between species in the exact position of the saddles, suggesting that exact placement of the saddles may not be very important in the evolution of the saddled pattern.
However, there are striking similarities among the species.
Tukey Tests (Table 3) indicate that the positions of saddle 2 and saddle 3 are not significantly different in C.
Carolinae and P uranidea (0.05 < P < 0.10 and 0.75 < P < 0.80), suggesting that the pattern is the same in the two species.
Saddle 2 in E.
Blennius is not significantly different from that of E.
Variatum (0.10 < p < 0.15), and the position of saddle 3 of E.
Variatum is not significantly different from that of C.
Carolinae (0.75 < P < 0.80).
In all species examined except N. [lavater, all four saddles are spaced unevenly (p < 0.001) (Fig. 4, Table 2) , and all intervals were significantly different from one another within a species (all p < 0.0005).
In N. [lavater, the pattern also was uneven (p < 0.001), but interval 2 was only slightly significantly larger than interval 1 (0.04 < P < 0.05).
With two intervals of nearly the same size, the pattern of N. [lavater tends more towards an evenly spaced pattern than that of the other four species in which interval 1 always was the largest and interval 3 was the smallest. Ecological characteristics of North American fishes with the saddle pattern To identify ecological characteristics of North American fishes with the saddle pattern, we used the information in Page (1983) and Page & Burr (1991).
We scored substrate and flow preferences as well as presence or absence of 3-5 dark dorsal saddles for all species of the families Catostomidae (61) and Ictaluridae (38), all darters (Percidae) (146), and all Cottus (Cottidae) (24).
Substrate was scored as either uniform (sand, mud , and bedrock) or un- 255 even (gravel, cobble, and boulders).
Flow was scored as no/lowflow (pools and lakes) or flow (riffles and runs).
The preference for flowing or standing water and the preference for uniform or uneven substrate were examined in 269 species, 49 of which have the saddle pattern.
All of the saddled species live on uneven, rocky substrates, and nearly all (N = 46) live in flowing water.
These results were analyzed using a Chi-square contingency table (Table 4) which showed that saddled species prefer uneven substrates and flowing water.
A Chi-square test was also applied to determine the relationship of flow to substrate.
A significant interaction between substrate type and flow (p < 0.0001) was found, as expected, because faster flowing water tends to wash out the smaller particles such as sand and mud while leaving the gravel, cobble, and boulders (Moyle & Cech 1988).
Because phylogenies are lacking for most groups of North American fishes, it is impossible to exclude the effects of phylogeny, and the Chi-square test probably suffers from pseudoreplication.
However, the data strongly suggest a positive relationship between living in flowing water over a rocky substrate and having the saddle pattern.
The saddle pattern is not primarily for obliterative countershading is the fact that the saddles of saddled species collected over sand are faded or lost.
Cottus carolinae, in particular, blanches to the color of the sand and the saddles are barely visible as slightly darker areas on the back.
If the saddle pattern served some function other than mimicking rocks, the saddles presumably would not fade when the fishes moved onto sand.
Also, pelagic fishes normally lacking saddles sometimes develop some form of saddle or bar pattern when they become benthic (Barlow 1963, Hailman 1982, Neil 1984).
This change often corresponds to a change in behavior from active movement to slow or no movement.
Finally, although juvenile hog suckers (Hypentelium spp.), which live in rocky riffles, are strongly saddled, hog suckers lose their saddle pattern as they grow and move into deeper, slower, less rocky habitats.
The five species examined, and many more species, have converged upon a pattern of four saddles.
In the five species examined, all except N [lavater possess a highly uneven pattern: interval 1 was the largest and interval 3 was the smallest.
This observation leads to three questions: 1.
What is the advantage of a pattern of unevenly spaced saddles? 2.
Why are the spaces between the saddles larger towards the head? 3.
Why doesn't N [lavater conform to the pattern of the other four species? What is the advantage of a pattern of unevenly spaced saddles? When viewed from above (Fig. 5), each saddle delineates a light space that has the appearance of a rock, and a fish with four saddles is broken into a series of five 'rocks' (head, caudal fin, and three interspaces).
Animals maximize their crypsis by mimicking a random sample of the background (Endler 1978).
Because rocks in streams are a mixture of sizes and slopes, a fish that mimicked a series of rocks of similar proportions would be more conspicuous than one that mimicked a series of rocks of different sizes.
The five 'rocks' of different sizes on a foursaddled fish blend into the substrate.
Why are the spaces between the saddles larger towards the head? The body of a fish tapers from head to tail and, consequently, the widest space always will be the Discussion We propose that the selective advantage leading to the multiple evolution of the saddle pattern is through disruptive coloration.
The fishes with the saddle pattern are always found on gravel, and we propose that dark saddles mimic shadows or gaps between rocks while the light spaces between the saddles represent rocks.
Species with the saddle pattern also prefer flowing water.
However, three of the saddled species live in pools with little or no flow.
The pools in which these species live are rocky, and we assume that the main habitat element that has promoted the evolution of the saddle pattern is uneven, rocky substrates.
Flow may have aided in the evolution of the pattern because of additional shadows cast by surface ripples created by flowing water.
Additional evidence supporting the claim that 256 space nearest the head.
Because pieces of gravel in a stream are usually round or slightly elliptical, a fish can best mimic the substrate by having the longest spaces near the head.
Although the general pattern is for spaces to be longest near the head, C.
Carolinae has the ability to widen its first saddle such that the first space becomes smaller.
Carolinae can also go to the opposite extreme by eliminating its first saddle so that the first space is much larger and includes the head.
The ability to change the relative size of the saddles enhances the sculpin's ability to camouflage itself.
A sculpin would be expected to eliminate the first saddle when it is among large gravel, but widen the first saddle when it is among smaller gravel.
Why doesn't N.
Flavater conform to the pattern of the other four species? N.
Flavater deviates from the pattern exhibited by the other four species examined in that interval 1 and interval 2 are barely significantly different from one another.
It seems likely that, to a fish living on a rocky substrate, an uneven pattern is more cryptic than an even pattern; therefore, N.
Flavater must not rely on camouflage to avoid predation to the same extent as the other species examined.organisms under decreased predation pressure can afford to be less cryptic than organisms under high predation pressure (Endler 1978, 1986).
Madtoms reduce their predation pressure in two ways.
The first is that they Fig. 5.

Contingency table for the effects of flow (a) and of substrate (b) on the saddle pattern.
The Chi-square values indicate that saddled species are found more often in flowing water and on an uneven substrate than would be expected by chance.

Jeans will often be rigid and uncomfortable until you have broken them in by wearing them. A pair of jeans toward the end of its life will often be as soft as a pair of pajama trousers. Unfortunately, an old pair of jeans is also very delicate, and a rip in the jeans will mean the end of the trousers unless you can patch them. Although it is less work to go out and buy a new pair, mending your jeans will save you a lot of money and also prolong the use of your most comfortable pair of trousers.

News & Research Updates
Paper highly commended by the Watson Raptor Science Prize 2013
Prized raptors: Watson Raptor Science Prize for 2013
Two outstanding research papers on raptors have been recognized for their excellent science and awarded a prestigious European honour.
The paper winning the Watson Raptor Science Prize 2013 is by Professor Miguel Ferrer and colleagues based at the High Council for Scientific Research of Spain, Delegación del CSIC en Andalucía – Casa de la Ciencia, Spain. Entitled 'Weak relationship between risk assessment studies and recorded mortality in wind farms', and published in Journal of Applied Ecology, it reported on studies at 54 proposed and 20 constructed wind farm sites. In addition to finding some of the highest ever recorded bird collision rates, the paper made key recommendations for improving the siting of wind turbines and the research needed to assess bird collisions.
Dr Miguel Ferrer commented: "We are delighted with this prize. It is great to have this support for our research in applied ecology, which confirms our view that raptors are excellent to work on. Personally, this prize in the name of the Watson family is truly special."
This annual prize has been established to recognize the most outstanding, peer reviewed scientific publication on raptor ecology, based on research undertaken in Europe. Established in the names of the late Donald and Jeff Watson, this award forms part of a unique initiative to establish the Watson Bird Centre, and St John's Town of Dalry in Galloway, SW Scotland, as a bird town.
On reviewing a large number of publications in 2012 the selection panel, comprising Professors Des Thompson (Chair), Ian Newton FRS and Steve Redpath, was unanimous in selecting this paper.
In addition, the panel specially commended an outstanding paper by Richard Evans (RSPB), Phil Whitfield (Natural Research) and Lorcán O'Toole (Irish Golden Eagle Trust), entitled 'The history of eagles in Britain and Ireland: an ecological review of place-name and documentary evidence from the last 1500 years' and published in Bird Study. It ingeniously reconstructed the distribution and numbers of eagles in Britain and Ireland on the basis of historical place names.
Speaking on behalf of his team, Richard Evans remarked: "I am thrilled that our eagle history paper has captured the imagination of the Watson Raptor Science Prize panel, and has been rated so highly in comparison with so much other high quality bird of prey research published in 2012. Writing the paper opened some fascinating windows into the past, as well as potential future prospects for both of Britain and Ireland's native eagle species, and it is a privilege for our work to have been recognised in this way."
Commenting on the selection, Professor Des Thompson stated "Some excellent research on raptors is being carried out in Europe, and it was a special treat for our panel to read so many high quality papers. We offer our congratulations to Miguel Ferrer and his colleagues for painstaking field research, and to Richard Evans, Phil Whitfield and Lorcán O'Toole for a fascinating piece of scientific detective work."
Director of the Watson Bird Festival, Professor Roger Crofts, commented: "Watson Birds is all about celebrating excellence, and the Watson Raptor Science Prize is a unique contribution. I thank the panel for their meticulous work. And I warmly congratulate the authors of both papers

3. The Watson Raptor Science Prize is in its third year. This annual prize, established in the name of the late Donald and Jeff Watson, was set up to recognise the most outstanding, peer-reviewed scientific publication on raptor ecology, based on research undertaken in Europe. The 2012 Prize was awarded to Dr Fabrizio Sergio for his paper: 'Raptor nest decorations are a reliable threat against conspecifics'. Science (2011), 331: 327-330. A paper by Dr Arjun Amar and colleagues at the RSPB on Orkney's hen harriers was specially commended: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-2664.2010.01896.x/abstract. The 2011 Prize was awarded to Dr Jen Smart and colleagues at the RSPB for their research paper on persecution of red kites in the Scottish Highlands: http://www.rspb.org.uk/Images/smart_amar_sim_et_al_2010_tcm9-248263.pdf
Golden eagle satellite tracking
Golden eagle chicks on nest
As part of our ongoing project satellite tracking young golden eagles we have collaborated with Scottish Natural Heritage, Highland Foundation for Wildlife and the RSPB to fit 10 satellite transmitters to golden eagles in the Cairngorms. Money for the transmitters was provided by SNH. Five of the 19 Golden eagle we are currently tracking are from transmitters purchased by this project.
A blog has been set up so you can track three golden eagles as they disperse. Click here to visit the blog http://goldeneagletracking.blogspot.com

This is my review for the Indesit eco time condenser dryer ADCL 85 B HS in silver. This is a very smart looking dryer, it has a maximum load size of 8kg, a reasonable energy rating of B, it measures in at H85xW59.5xD61cm, runs at 68Dbs and comes with a 10 year parts guarantee if you register. The Indesit evo time dryer has a choice of 16 different programmes and features to choose from depending on your needs, these are numbered and labeled on the front of the water container and correspond with numbers on the dial, there are more in depth explanations for each programme in the instruction manual. A few other features worth a mention are the child lock, delay timer of up to 9 hours, the automatic anti crease function and the sensor drying. The dryer can also be plumbed in directly to dispose of the water or the water collection container can be used? When using the water container it should be emptied after each use as should the filter which is located in front of the dryer seal. The manual recommends cleaning the condenser unit every month and contains clear precise instructions on how to do this correctly, i recommend reading the manual thoroughly. I have been using this dryer for a week now and I'm really happy with its performance, i especially appreciate the sensor drying function and have already had several comments on how good the dryer looks. I hope you find my review helpful

In Exchange 2000, however, access was possible if you weren't a member of Administrators or Domain Admins groups by making the account a member of the Exchange Domain Servers group (see Microsoft KB article 262054, How to get service account access to all mailboxes in Exchange 2000). Inherited store permissions can also allow you to access mailboxes.
Permissions can also be delegated or assigned by users (e.g., permissions assigned to assistants to access a Calendar or Contacts folder).
You should also take a look at Event ID 1016 in the Security event log to monitor mailbox access. For more info about this Event ID, refer to Microsoft KB article 867640 How to monitor mailbox access by auditing or by viewing Mailbox Resources in Exchange Server."

Is there a way to change the amount of time the log stores data? We checked it after having Exchange for four months, and it only shows us about the last week or so of access. We wanted to keep logs for at least six to twelve months, if possible.

Event Logs can be configured to store more or less data. On Windows Server 2003, follow the following steps to change the Event Log settings:
- Start Event Viewer.
- Right click the Event Log you want to modify, such as Application, Security, System, etc.
- Select Properties.
- In the "Log size" section, modify the "Maximum log size" as required.
- You can also control what happens when the log reaches the maximum size. The choices:
- Overwrite older events as needed.
- Overwrite events older than specified number of days.
- Do not overwrite older events (clear log manually).

SpecialK199 chapter 1 . 9/5/2008 Oh this was lovely. You've captured all the characters perfectly, it was absolutely fantastic ... and I get to read more. I've been saving Across the Airwaves for last, because it's the longest. You'll have to forgive me if I don't review every chapter of it though. For one thing, you'll get sick of hearing from me, and I'm worried that it might come across as ... well ... stalkerish! LOL It's great getting the chance to sit down and work my way through someone's portfolio. I've got a great sense of your writing style, and am wallowing in the joy of it. Wonderful stuff, it's great! |

JenniferC77 chapter 6 . 8/11/2008 I was so sorry to see this end. You did an extraordinary job representing Edward's pain during the transformation. I especially loved the imagery of them sharing her soul. He sees her so beautifully. This is lovely. Jenn. |
Katurr chapter 6 . 8/9/2008 I loved this story. You write great in all POVs, and I can't wait to read your other stories! I especially enjoyed seeing how you imagined Bella's transformation. It was very creative. Keep up the fantastic work! Katurr~ |

I'm only 19 years old and unfortunately I have very sagging breasts. Over the past year I've lost 30 pounds and currently weigh 165 lbs. I would like to lose another 15 to be within a healthy range for my 5'5'' frame before proceeding with a reduction, but I'm afraid weight loss will only further deflate my 36DD chest. Ideally, I would like a 36C. I'm also wondering if the breast reduction could eliminate stretch marks and what type of incision would be necessary for adequate results. Thanks.

You would need to be seen in person to determine the incisions necessary for surgery. However, you should keep in mind that you will need a significant reduction and lift and you should not let your worry about the incision impede your surgeon from doing what is necessary to achieve the best, most symmetric and natural appearing result.
Web reference: http://www.ShaferPlasticSurgery.com
It would be in your best interest to have a mammogram prior to the procedure for screening prior to this procedure, as the architecture imaging of your breast will slightly change afterwards. Well known data exists that having a breast reduction will in fact lower your chance for developing breast cancer, simply because the amount of tissue will be less.
Consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who will discuss the procedure with you, examine, and assist you in determining if this is the right procedure for you. Voice your complaints - your insurance will likely require a detailed description of your history and complaints as well as photo and an estimate of how much tissue will be removed. You should give a description of the therapies that you have done to ameliorate your complaints thus far. Any other notes from other physicians is helpful. It would also behoove you to discuss your issues yourself with your insurance carrier. Hope that this helps! Best wishes!
In terms of incisions you need a breast lift on the right and a reduction mastopexy on the left. Depending on the size you wish to be, more tissue could be removed from both accordingly. It is likely you will need a periareola scar and a vertical scar +/- inframammary scar. Breast reduction may improve the appearance of stretch marks but does not remove them.
The most important decision is the timing of this surgery and you should consult with a plastic surgeon to go through the pros and cons.

Thank you for your question and photos.
Congratulations on your weight loss! Please do not fret about your breasts becoming more ptotic with continued weight loss plans. A 15lb loss may take you down to your desired C cup. I see that your right breast is significantly smaller than your left. No worries. Once you have achieved your desired weight and maintained it for a few months, you can consider reducing your left breast to match the right.The Ultimate Breast Lift/Reduction is a technique that reshapes and lifts breasts to accomplish upper pole fullness without a vertical scar or breast implants. Breasts are anchored securely and because there is no vertical scar that weakens the skin envelope, the UBL outlasts any other lift currently performed. The incisions are hidden around the areolas and in the natural crease of your breasts.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Dr. H

Thank you for your question and photos. I think you may be an excellent candidate for breast reduction surgery. Timing of the breast reduction surgery is based on the patient's life circumstances and psychosocial place in life and is a very individual- specific decision. Patients must be able to accept the scars (which result from the breast reduction surgery) in exchange for the improvement in size/contour/position of the breasts. Some patients choose to have the breast reduction surgery earlier in life; some patients prefer to wait until they are in mature/stable relationships and/or have completed having pregnancies.
I ask my patients to be at a long term stable weight prior to surgery - this is the best way to achieve the most accurate results from surgery - so I would recommend that You continue to do what you are doing.
Visit with well experienced board certified plastic surgeons to discuss your options for surgery. Ask to see lots of examples of their work. Communicative goals clearly; remember "C cop" may mean different things to different people. Therefore, I prefer to communicate with the help of goal pictures.
As for the stretch marks, some may be removed with the skin removal but it is likely that not all stretch marks will not be removed with this surgery. You will probably benefit from incisions around the areola, vertically, and horizontally.
I hope this is helpful.
Web reference: http://www.poustiplasticsurgery.com/Procedures/Procedure_breastReduction.htm
If you go on to lose weight, it is conceivable that you will lose more breast volume,. You should wait until your weight is stable. Incisions around the breast are permanent.
1) You look like a very good candidate for vertical (Lejour technique) breast reduction with a lollipop scar. This technique gives the best long term results in terms of shape, and it minimizes scars. You can certainly go down to a C cup, but only some of the stretch marks can be removed.
2) Congratulations on your successful weight loss!
Breast reduction surgery is very likely to be able to change your bra size from a 36dd to a 36 c. The type of incisions and technique will depend on your physical exam and discussion with a board certified plastic surgeon. Whether or not your stretch marks will change or be removed depends on their location and the type of incisions made. This should all be discussed with the plastic surgeon.
