Don't Be Timid in the Big Blind when Facing Late Position Shoves!
You're sitting in the big blind with T2,000 and you have K7o. What's your play?
Am I better off trying to maximally exploit opponents, risking the possibility of getting counter-exploited?
Am I better off playing perfect non-exploitable poker, hoping that my opponents' mistakes are big enough for me to beat the rake?
Am I better off walking down the middle road, playing a semi-exploitative game that seeks to exploit in a defensive manner?
For those who choose to walk down route #2 (the pure non-exploitable route), calling with K7o is a no-brainer here. For those who choose to walk down the other two routes, this call tends to become debatable; however, as someone who makes a fist-pump instacall here (I go down route #2), I'm going to tell you that calling tighter than the equilibrium calling range here is likely costing you chips in the long run (and at the end of the day, moves that are profitable with respect to chips trump moves that guarantee survival – until you're at or very close to the final table MTTs with top-heavy payout structures). It's probably still the case that players generally shove tighter than they should in early position. However, players have become increasingly willing to open-shove light from the small blind, the button, and sometimes the cutoff (so light that you'll pick off some players who are shoving a bit wider than non-exploitable jamming ranges).
The example hand came from a $12 135-man Rush SNG at Full Tilt. I fist-pump instacalled, the SB had J5s, I held, and I ended up with around 20bb. Since J5s is in the non-exploitable open-jamming range for the small blind at 10bb with no antes, it's unknown whether this particular opponent makes an exploitable mistake in the long-run. But as long as I'm willing to call with the equilibrium calling range, I don't have to be too concerned about it (until no-limit hold'em tournament play gets tough to the point where no one beats the rake…but the game still has quite awhile to go before it evolves to that point).
For those who need more inspiration, here's a hand from a $20+$2 RA tournament. If I recall correctly, the rebuy period was over (not that my decision would be any different). Blinds were T170-T340 with an ante of T25. Action folded to the small blind who shoved all-in to T34,654. I had QJo in the big blind, and my stack was T6,374. In other words, the small blind effectively shoved to T6,714 (19.7bbs). QJo is in the equilibrium calling range (overall, the equilibrium calling range here is about 34.2% of starting hands, and the non-exploitable shoving range is about 54.4% of starting hands). Therefore, I fist-pump instacalled. The small blind turned over 76s (which is part of the non-exploitable shoving range); I held; I ended up with just over 40 big blinds.
Obviously, you're not going to be ahead every time you make calls like these. Also, being ahead when you call doesn't mean that you're going to win 100% of the time. But none of these things matter. In the end, the only thing that matters is that you're calling with all the hands that have sufficient equity against your opponents' shoving ranges.
By the way, if you'd like access to my cheat sheet of non-exploitable jamming ranges, you need a PokerPwnage.com membership (members have access to the cheat sheet as well as videos of me explaining how to use it). Soon, my cheat sheet of equilibrium calling ranges will also be available to PokerPwnage members (along with explanatory videos). I know some of you have been anxiously awaiting the calling sheets for the past 3ish weeks, but big life events took place recently (I got married); I hope that you'll find that the wait was well worth it!

I feel like it would have given greater leeway in terms of background development, and giving them a unique feel, if they were their own race, and not just a subrace of the Imperium.
I believe that's what the Demiurg are intended to represent.
I think the squats work as a different side to humanity - rather than trying to shoehorn dwarfs into space.
When I wanted to reimagine the squats, I started from the idea that they believed themselves to be purer humans than the Imperium.
So from that angle they become much more interesting, and not just dwarf abhumans.
a) They were just a straight copy of the dwarf-archetype into 40k. Short: check. Bearded: check. Stubborn: check. Miners: check. Down-to-earth attitude: check. And so on. It just seemed like they weren't initially conceived properly, so all the later background on them was on shaky foundations.
b) They had a really stupid name: the Squats. Unfortunately, that was probably the killer blow for their race. The archetype could have been rescued with a decent name.
What do you think of the name Varyngr? It's what the general concensus in the Death of the Squats thread likes.
It doesn't make sense...why did "Elves-in-Space" work so well, and "Dwarves in Space" fall flat on its face?
Well, I think it's more to do with the fact that the eldar only LOOK like an elf. Their society, way of war, and background is much different. Sure they're long-lived, sure they're psychic/magic masters, but they're also living a life of denile in order to stop the chaos god they created in their ignorance, from eating their souls. They use a method of construction that elves do not.
I think it was more that the squats didn't really develop beyond being 'just' dwarfs with guns. If their strongholds where in a mountain range rather than across starsystems they would be almost indistinguishable.
The eldar developed their own design asthetic unlike elves, whilst the squats just used imperial equipment. They sort of piggybacked them, and weren't very distinct.
it was only when they got to EPIC where they had their own unique war engines did they become more interesting, but as the basis for the EPIC list was 40k, and it started to fall apart, the EPIC list collapsed onto it.
If you go through the Death of the Squats thread you'll find many interesting ideas on how they could have been made more interesting than 'just' dwarfs.
Well, ask this question then: What is FUNDAMENTALLY wrong with transplanting Fantasy races into a Sci-Fi setting?
I mean, I don't really think that has ever been done before...?
I don't think there IS anything wrong necessarily, but GW started with fantasy races and wanted to diverge from them. As the squats didn't diverge enough, they were dropped.
If they just transplanted races entirely across from Warhammer Fantasy, then they would have been just dwarfs, using runic magic and more advanced forms of technology.
The elves would just have lots of magic - I reckon they'd still use bows, but souped up with magic, so that they could hit from a long distance and penetrate etc.
GW decided that rather than having just fantasy races in a future setting, they'd take the ARCHETYPES of those races and do something different.
It doesn't mean it's wrong, it's just what GW wanted to do.
It's much better than a name which, at its best, evokes some sort of unpleasant aerobic activity, and at worst reminds people (well, at least me!) of going to the toilet outdoors. Mind you, I think just about anything would have been better than "Squats".
Like Hellebore and myself have said, it was the transplanting without any unique redeeming features which makes it a bit bland. I mean, almost all 40k players have been exposed to generic fantasy archetypes before they pick up 40k (say, LOTR, Warcraft, and so on). If the 40k race is basically the same as previous concepts, there isn't really much to excite the imagination or stimulate the creativity.
The Eldar flourished where the Squats died largely because they were distinguished enough from "Elves-in-space" to get off the ground and establish themselves.

When Bristol-Myers Squibb agreed to pay up to a jaw-dropping $1.25 billion to acquire the fledgling biotech Flexus back in early 2015 for the sole purpose of gaining control of a preclinical IDO1 drug, the math seemed to defy every known standard on overnight biotech windfalls.
The 18-month-old biotech had just lined up a $38 million round from Kleiner Perkins, Celgene and The Column Group. In a world where a 10X payoff after a few years is considered a home run, Bristol-Myers' $800 million upfront, with $450 million in early-stage milestones, for a drug that had yet to go into humans was done on a whole new level.
What went largely (though not entirely) unnoticed at the time was that a furious Incyte — the widely recognized leader in IDO1 now in late-stage testing with one of the most closely-watched programs in oncology — quickly went to war over the deal.
The company claimed that Jordan Fridman, a scientist in its ranks, had systematically lifted its IDO1 secrets before making his way to Flexus. In a lawsuit filed against Rosen and Juan Jaen seeking more than a billion dollars in damages, Incyte claimed that Fridman had been demanding information on their IDO1 work in the three months he remained at Incyte after giving notice.
Later in 2014, according to a lawsuit Incyte filed against Flexus, Fridman "falsely told Incyte's employees that Flexus did not have an IDO-1 inhibitor project and that he was no longer working on IDO-1 inhibitors." But then he allegedly admitted his involvement later that year.
The News Journal in Delaware covered the case in a big feature today, which is likely to refocus considerable attention on Bristol-Myers' IDO1 work on BMS-986205, which is now being studied in combination with its big checkpoint inhibitor Opdivo. According to the report, the case is headed to court next year.
Lawyers for Rosen and Jaen denied the claims and seem ready to fight it out in front of a judge.
Evidence of substantial serum kyn reduction was observed at doses as low as 25 mg QD; inhibition at 100 and 200 mg QD appears greater than that reported for other in-class compounds. In addition, we have presented the first evidence of intratumoral kyn reduction by an IDO1 inhibitor. These data suggest the potential of BMS-986205 as an IDO1 inhibitor with superior PD properties and support further evaluation in combination with nivo.
The Bristol-Myers drug is now in three different studies, according to the listings on clinicaltrials.gov, including a Phase II rapid-fire set of combination tests for non-small cell lung cancer. And Phase I/II data is due at the upcoming SITC conference in early November.
Fridman, who's not a named party in the lawsuit, went on to join another Kleiner Perkins startup called FLX Bio as the CSO. A spokesperson for the company, though, says he's left the biotech.

The Aeronauts er en biografisk eventyrfilm fra 2019 instrueret af Tom Harper og skrevet af Jack Thorne, fra en historie skrevet i fællesskab af Thorne og Harper.

Filmen portrætterer videnskabsmanden James Glaishers bestræbelser på at undersøge meteorologiske fænomener.

Filmen er baseret på bogen Falling Upwards fra 2013: How We Took to the Air af Richard Holmes. Produceret af Todd Lieberman, David Hoberman og Harper, har filmen Eddie Redmayne, Felicity Jones, Himesh Patel og Tom Courtenay i hovedrollerne.

Filmen havde verdenspremiere på Telluride Film Festival den 30. august 2019, efterfulgt af en visning på Toronto International Film Festival 2019 . Den blev udgivet i Storbritannien den 4. november 2019 og i USA den 6. december 2019. Filmen fik positive anmeldelser fra kritikere, med ros for de visuelle effekter og de to hovedroller.

Handling
Filmen begynder i London i 1862, hvor piloten Amelia Wren og videnskabsmanden James Glaisher ankommer til opsendelsen af den største ballon, der nogensinde er bygget. På trods af at hun er hjemsøgt af tragedien om sin afdøde mand Pierre, holder Amelia stand, og ballonen starter med succes til en jublende folkemængde. I et flashback dukker James op for Royal Society og forklarer sin teori om, at vejret kan forudsiges, men hans videnskabskolleger håner ham og nægter at finansiere hans studier.

På ballonen begynder James og Amelia at stige gennem skylaget. De løber hurtigt ind i en voldsom storm, som får ballonen til at snurre. I et flashback bliver Amelia overtalt af sin søster Antonia til at deltage i en fest. Der bliver Amelia kontaktet af James, og han spørger, om hun ville være villig til at være pilot for hans ballon i en privat finansieret ekspedition, mens han forsøger at bevise sine teorier, hvilket hun accepterer.

Selvom James får en hovedskade under den kraftige termik, mens han bliver kastet rundt, klarer han og Amelia stormen og fortsætter med at rejse sig. James frigiver den første af fem duer med beskeder, der angiver den aktuelle højde sammen med andre videnskabelige aflæsninger, hvis de ikke overlever. De opdager en luftstrøm, som er hjemsted for en gruppe sommerfugle, hvilket bekræfter en teori fra James' ven John Trew om, at insekter kan rejse på luftstrømme. Til sidst overstiger ballonen , hvilket slår rekorden for den højeste højde. Amelia er chokeret over at høre, at James ikke medbragte noget tøj, der passer til den hurtigt faldende temperatur, og beslutter sig for at begynde at falde ned. James nægter, og de to skændes. Amelia indvilliger i at blive ved med at lade ballonen stige, men gør det klart for James, at de snart må begynde at falde.

I et tilbageblik tager James' ven, John Trew, hen til Amelia og fortæller hende, at hun har en forpligtelse til at fremme videnskabens sag. Amelia går derefter til Pierres grav for at reflektere. Da det begynder at sne (hvilket John fortalte hende, James havde forudsagt), beslutter hun sig for alligevel at deltage i projektet. I ballonen begynder James at opleve hypoxi fra højden, men insisterer på, at de fortsætter og forsøger at forhindre Amelia i at komme ned. Han giver kun efter, da Amelia fortæller ham historien om, hvordan Pierre ofrede sig selv for at redde hende under en ballonflyvning. Amelia opdager, at gasudløsningsventilen på toppen af ballonen er frosset. Da James falder bevidstløs, har hun intet andet valg end at kravle op på ydersiden af ballonen og åbne ventilen fra toppen. Med forfrysninger på hænderne kæmper hun for at kile sin støvle ind i ventilen, hvilket forårsager en langsom frigivelse af gassen. Amelia mister bevidstheden og vælter over siden, men bliver reddet af sin rebbinding.

Da hun vågner, formår Amelia at svinge tilbage til ballonen og vække James. Mens de fortsætter med at falde ned, begynder sneen at svæve omkring dem, hvilket indikerer, at ballonen kollapser på grund af tabet af for meget gas. Det lykkes dem at lukke gasudløsningen og smide alt, hvad de kan over siden, inklusive alt James' udstyr. Da dette ikke virker til at være tilstrækkeligt, kravler de ind i rammen og frigør kurven. Da James indser, at Amelia er klar til at ofre sig selv for at redde ham, er James i stand til at omdanne resten af ballonen til en faldskærm, hvilket bremser deres nedstigning. De styrter gennem træer og rammer jorden hårdt, mens Amelia bliver slæbt med bag ballonen. Hun vågner og kalder på James, som vakler mod hende. Begge er sårede, men euforiske over, at det lykkedes dem at overleve, og satte en ny menneskelig flyvehøjderekord på  . James' fund beviser eksistensen af lag i atmosfæren, hvilket baner vejen for de første vejrudsigter, og han og Amelia bygger en ny ballon, så de kan fortsætte med at udføre forskning sammen.

Medvirkende

Produktion
I december 2016 købte Amazon Studios filmrettighederne til Jack Thornes manuskript. I midten af 2018 blev Felicity Jones og Eddie Redmayne bekræftet til at medvirke i filmen. De blev genforenet efter The Theory of Everything (2014), instrueret af James Marsh, da deres tidligere arbejde og venskab fra det virkelige liv ville hjælpe dem i dette nye samarbejde.

Hovedfotografering begyndte i begyndelsen af august 2018 i West London Film Studios, hvor George Steel tjente som filmfotograf. Optagelsessteder i England omfattede Royal Naval College, Greenwich, Regent's Park, London, Claydon House, Buckinghamshire, Bodleian Library i Oxford, Wrotham Park, London og The Historic Dockyard Chatham Ropery i Kent.

Nøglehandlingssekvenser i The Aeronauts er designet til IMAX og har et udvidet billedformat til både IMAX og udvalgte Premium Large Format-biografer.

Historisk nøjagtighed
Filmen er baseret på en blanding af flyvningerne beskrevet i Richard Holmes ' bog fra 2013 Falling Upwards: How We Took to the Air ( ). Den mest betydningsfulde ballonflyvning afbildet i The Aeronauts er baseret på flyvningen den 5. september 1862 af britiske aeronauter James Glaisher og Henry Coxwell, hvis kulgasfyldte ballon slog verdens flyvehøjderekord og nåede 30.000 til 36.000 ft (9.000 til 11.000 m). Men mens Glaisher optræder i filmen, er Coxwell blevet erstattet af Amelia, en fiktiv karakter.

En rapport i The Daily Telegraph citerer Keith Moore, leder af biblioteket i Royal Society, for at sige: "Det er en stor skam, at Henry [Coxwell] ikke bliver portrætteret, fordi han præsterede meget godt og reddede livet på en førende videnskabsmand". Moore kritiserede derefter filmens fiktive kvindelige hovedperson og sagde: "Der var så mange fortjente kvindelige videnskabsmænd fra den periode, som ikke har fået lavet film om dem. Hvorfor ikke gøre det i stedet?"  I et interview med The List forklarede Harper, at selvom filmen var inspireret af en række historiske flyvninger, var hensigten aldrig at lave en dokumentar, og han ønskede, at filmen skulle afspejle et nutidigt publikum. Han kommenterede også en kønsbias i videnskaben og udtalte: "Der var kvindelige videnskabsmænd rundt omkring på det tidspunkt, men ikke i Royal Society... indtil i dag er kun otte procent af Royal Society kvinder."

Andre kritikere af filmen har rost Amelia som en vigtig kvindelig karakter. Sasha Stone fra Awards Daily skrev, at The Aeronauts "inspirerer unge piger og skubber til unge drenges perspektiver... (afslører), at kvinder kan være lige så begejstrede for at tage en helts rejse, som enhver mand kan."

Ud over Coxwell inkluderer virkelige personer, der komponerer Amelias karakter:

 Sophie Blanchard, den første kvinde, der arbejdede som professionel ballonfarer, som blev en berømt aeronaut efter sin mands død. Felicity Jones har udtalt, at Blanchard var inspirationen til hendes karakter.
 Margaret Graham, en britisk aeronaut og entertainer.

Amelias forhold til ægtemanden Pierre er hovedsageligt baseret på Sophie Blanchards flyvninger med ægtemanden Jean-Pierre Blanchard, mens Pierres død er inspireret af Thomas Harris den 25. maj 1824.

Udgivelse
Filmen havde verdenspremiere på Telluride Film Festival den 30. august 2019. Den blev også vist på Toronto International Film Festival 2019 den 8. september 2019. Entertainment One gav filmen en fuld biografpremiere i Storbritannien den 4. november, inklusive visninger i 4DX og IMAX. Amazon Studios udgav filmen i USA den 6. december til en begrænset biografserie, før den debuterede på Amazon Prime Video uden for Storbritannien den 20. december 2019. Filmen blev udgivet i Kina den 13. november 2020.

I oktober 2019 blev det annonceret, at The Aeronauts ville vises på IMAX TCL Chinese Theatre som en del af AFI Fest .

Streaming
Selvom Amazon ikke offentliggør nøjagtige streamingtal, sagde Jennifer Salke, chef for Amazon Studios i et interview med Deadline Hollywood, at fra januar 2020 var The Aeronauts den mest sete film nogensinde på Amazon Prime.

Reception

Box office
Aeronauts har tjent anslået $340.000 i Nordamerika og $3,5 millioner i andre territorier, til en verdensomspændende total på $3,8 millioner, mod et produktionsbudget på $40 millioner.

Som med sin anden udgivelse The Report, udgav Amazon ikke offentligt billetkontorresultater for filmen. Ud af de 186 lokationer, der viste den i åbningsweekenden (6. december 2019), rapporterede 48 en samlet brutto på omkring $30.000. IndieWire anslår, at filmen tjente i alt 185.000 dollars i åbningsweekenden, et gennemsnit på 1.000 dollars pr. spillested. Det tjente derefter anslået $100.000 fra 85 biografer i sin anden weekend, før dets streaming-debut den 20. december på Amazon Prime.

Kritisk respons
På Rotten Tomatoes har filmen en vurdering på 71% baseret på 189 anmeldelser, med en gennemsnitlig vurdering på 6.5/10 . Sammenfattende udtales der om filmen, "Spændende visuals og den betydelige kemi i dets velmatchede leads gør The Aeronauts til et eventyr, der er værd at tage."  På Metacritic har filmen en vægtet gennemsnitsscore på 60 ud af 100, baseret på anmeldelser fra 37 kritikere, hvilket indikerer "blandede eller gennemsnitlige anmeldelser."

Todd McCarthy fra The Hollywood Reporter skrev: " The Aeronauts opnår imponerende højder som en afstivning og sympatisk beretning om to tidlige og meget forskellige flyvere, der sammen nåede bogstaveligt talt nye højder i et farligt felt af bestræbelser." Fionnuala Halligan fra Screen International skrev om hovedrolleindehavernes kemi og det store håndværk, der udstilles i filmen: "Med den bredeste bredskærm, den mest svimlende udsigt, tager denne luftballon til himlen og svæver." Tomris Laffly fra Variety roste det visuelle og de førende kunstnere: "Duoen [af Redmayne og Jones] hånd i hånd løfter The Aeronauts ...fra et spinkelt actioneventyr til noget, der er værd at se på den størst mulige skærm, selvom den opererer på en håndfuld klichéer med lidt karakterbaseret substans at tale om."

Mange kritikere bifaldt også filmens specialeffekter og billeder. Peter Bradshaw fra The Guardian bemærkede filmens "fantastiske specialeffekter" og "høj-angstspænding". Eric Kohn fra IndieWire skrev: "Når så mange store blockbusters tager potentialet i CGI-handling for givet, finder The Aeronauts en ny brug for det ved at gøre opdagelsens begejstring til en ægte visuel godbid."  I en generelt positiv anmeldelse viste kritiker Bob Mondello særlig entusiasme for de luftbårne scener, idet han skrev: "Jeg kan ikke sige stærkt nok, at hvis du kan se det i IMAX, skal du se det i IMAX, hvor hvis du er en lille smule bange for højder, vil det sandsynligvis skræmme dig råbløst."

Bristol Rovers are delighted to announce Billy Bodin has agreed a new two year deal with the club.
The tricky wide man was in fantastic form for Darrell Clarke's promotion winning side scoring 13 goals including four goals in the last three games of the season.
On agreeing a new deal, Billy told us "I'm delighted to be staying, we had a special group here last season and achieved something really amazing.
The club is back where it belongs now and on the up so think it's a great club to be part of and I can't wait to get going in League One"
Bodin became Darrell Clarke's fourth summer signing last year after the former Torquay United man was handed a two week trial at the start of the pre-season campaign.
Billy began his career with Swindon Town, moving from the youth set-up before making his first team debut for Swindon Town as a late substitute in the 2–1 League One defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge in 2010.
Having secured another member of last seasons promotion winning squad on a longer contract, Rovers Chairman Steve Hamer told us "Billy was one of the jewels in the crown for us last season and someone we were very eager to retain. Now that has been achieved, having fought off considerable interest from other Club's!
His signing matches his ambition along with ours and we all look forward to Billy progressing further next season on the field."

We use lard in most of our pie crusts. Any old fashioned baker will tell you, lard dough is easy to work with, makes your crust very flaky and smells so good when baking your apple pie in the oven. But did you know that compared to butter it has a higher monounsaturated fat content and lower saturated fat than butter? Monounsaturated fat raises HDL which is the good cholesterol in your blood that lowers your risk of heart disease compared to butter.
A lot of people think eating butter crust is better but butter is a high fat cream that has the opposite percentages of the monounsaturated to saturated fat as lard which can increase the bad cholesterol (LDL) that can lead to heart disease....even though admittedly it smells wonderful when baking a pie in the oven.

As I've mentioned numberous times on this blog, no amount of instructional articles, videos, books, or DVD's can replace in-person instruction when it comes to kettlebell training. Look up your local RKC and purchase some training sessions as a gift to get your kettlebell aficionado going on the right foot – or to perfect their technique.
If your kettlebell-lover is training religously with kettlebells and wants to take things to the next level, getting their kettlebell certification is the logical next step.
4. Kettlebell Instructional Courses – Books, DVD's, etc.
Any training program gets stale after four to six weeks and stops working. So whether you're looking to learn how to use kettlebells for the first time or if you're a seasoned vet and looking for a new challenge, kettlebell books, DVD's and instructional courses are always a good bet.
This one's a no-brainer But even if one already has kettlebells to train with, odds are they could use a heavier 'bell, two of the same weight, etc.

jefferson salamander reproduction
Smithsonian Herpetological Information Service 52: 1-23. Blue-spotted salamanders are found from eastern central North America and stretch in a broad band across to the Atlantic Provinces and northern New England. Further to the Terms and conditions for this website, some of the photos, drawings, and graphical elements found in material produced by COSEWIC are subject to copyrights held by other organizations and by individuals. NatureServe 2008, AmphibiaWeb 2010). Since 2004, microsatellite gene loci have provided a better method for genetic testing (Julian et al. Cook, F.R. Lynch, D.M. There is some slight size difference between the males and the females. Poison glands are especially concentrated in the skin on the dorsal surface of the tail. There is no aquatic larval stage and the hatchlings are about seven-eighths-inch long. In 2003 and 2004, researchers surveyed historically known breeding sites along the Niagara Escarpment that were documented in 1990 and 1991. Lacking its own males, the LJJ biotype breeds with male Blue-Spotted or Jefferson Salamanders from March to April. Frequency of Ambystoma jeffersonianum and unisexuals found in three Ontario breeding ponds. 1987. Weins et al. Nevertheless, there are many questions left to be answered with respect to the interactions of unisexual salamanders and their sperm donors. Bishop, S.C. 1941. All known Ontario populations of A. jeffersonianum also have unisexual individuals that may be diploid (LJ), triploid, (LJJ), tetraploid (LJJJ), or even pentaploid (LJJJJ). Introduction to Canadian Amphibians and Reptiles. Little is known about either the age of first reproduction or the frequency of reproduction for either sex. Scott Sampson, Natural Heritage Ecologist, Credit Valley Conservation. 1992. These larger recent samples show that most or all salamanders in all populations are LJJ. It was found, however, in breeding ponds at Location A, that 128 of 168 genetically identified A. jeffersonianum were males (76%) (Ramsden 2005). 1998. There are also several reports of caddisfly larvae of this genus preying on eggs of congeneric species, A. maculatum and A. tigrinum (Eastern Tiger Salamander) (Murphy 1961, Dalrymple 1970). All populations where A. jeffersonianum (JJ) have been found also contain unisexual Ambystoma (LJJ). In three separate studies that involved sample sizes > 100 individuals, the percentage of A. jeffersonianum ranged from ~ 8 to 33% of sampled individuals (Table 1). 1989. When hatched, larvae feed on zooplankton until they are large enough to feed on larger invertebrates that include nematodes, water mites, cladocerans, copepods, collembolans, mosquito larvae, chironomid larvae, snails, and assorted insects (Smith and Petranka 1987). The first group of males typically precedes the arrival of the first females. Current data suggest that while males breed annually, females may skip one or more years before breeding again. Due to the loss of wetlands and the destruction of forests, the salamanders are threatened. When theories and methodologies clash: a phylogenetic reanalysis of the North American ambystomatid salamanders (Caudata, Ambystomatidae). Additional distributional records of Ambystoma laterale, A. jeffersonianum (Amphibia: Caudata) and their unisexual kleptogens in northeastern North America. This includes Greenland, the Canadian Arctic islands, and all of the North American as far south as the highlands of central Mexico. Over the range of A. jeffersonianum, there are other species of Ambystoma that have similar attributes and share similar habitats. Marbled Salamanders do not. In both laboratory predation experiments and field observations (Rowe et al. NatureServe (2008) rank for Ambystoma jeffersonianum for all jurisdictions within its global range. obs.). Larval keys (Petranka 1998) do not distinguish A. jeffersonianum larvae from those of A. laterale or unisexual Ambystoma. In that report, the term 'Jefferson salamander complex' referred to specimens which had not been subjected to genetic analysis. COSEWIC. Noble and J. Niedzwieki. Shaffer, H.B, and M.L. 1992. There are some localities outside the documented range of A. jeffersonianum from which LJJ or LJJJ unisexual Ambystomahave been positively identified. The males tend to be slightly smaller than the females, the males also have a longer more flattened tail (Harding 1997). The hybrid between blue-spotted salamander and Jefferson salamander is called A. platineum. Brook. 1992. Adult Jefferson Salamanders, throughout their range, are found within deciduous or mixed upland forests containing, or adjacent to, suitable breeding ponds. 2000. The 33 recently confirmed sites gave an IAO of 196 km². Status re-examined and designated Endangered in November 2010. Other than the few days spent in the breeding pond, adults live and forage in deciduous or mixed woodlands. There are many such references to "jefferson complex" and the taxonomy is confusing because A. laterale and A. jeffersonianum (including the unisexuals) were synonymized under A. jeffersonianum until the early 1960s. The male leads her to the spermatophore and the female picks it up with her cloaca (Harding 1997). These salamanders can live for ~ 25 yrs, so unisexuals could continue to come to breeding ponds for several years even if A. jeffersonianum males did not. Some phylogenies (e.g. Cortwright, S.A. 1988. Feder, M.E., J.F. At two weeks old, the front legs form and at 3 weeks the hind limbs are formed. Special Concern (SC)* A wildlife species that may become a threatened or an endangered species because of a combination of biological characteristics and identified threats. ... Ambystoma jeffersonianum is often found in the same habitat as the spotted salamander. Some small permanent ponds on private lands and within conservation areas have been stocked with predatory fish to provide recreational fishing opportunities (J.P. Bogart, W.J. Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. ), but there have been no reports of predation on A. jeffersonianum egg masses. Jefferson Salamander, Ambystoma jeffersonianum (Green), was first described as Salamandra jeffersoniana,by Green in 1827 (in Uzzell 1967) and the type locality given as, "near Chartier's creek in the vicinity of Jefferson college (formerly) at Cannonsburg, (Washington County, Pennsylvania)". Only three sites were confirmed to have A. jeffersonianum with the remaining 15 sites no longer supporting A. jeffersonianum or unisexuals (Jefferson Salamander Recovery Team 2009). There are now fewer than 30 extant populations (defined here as equivalent to number of known, extant breeding ponds or locations) that still maintain A. jeffersonianum. King and W.K. the area in which the animal is naturally found, the region in which it is endemic. Courtship and egg deposition may occur under the ice of vernal pools and individual males court several females. Migratory paths between a breeding pond and summer habitat may be blocked by development, silt fencing, drainage ditches, some plantations, or other barriers. Isolated populations have been recorded in east-central Illinois (Petranka, 1998, Mullen and Klueh 2009). The larvae of blue-spotted salamanders vary in appearance. The reference numbers are voucher specimens or DNA extractions from the catalogue of James P. Bogart (JPB). These specimens show the range of colour and amount of blue flecking that may be found in this species. Relations of the diploid and triploid species of the Ambystoma jeffersonianum complex (Amphibia, Caudata). 2010. Table 1 provides data derived from four such surveys. Adult A. jeffersonianum throughout their range are found near or within deciduous or mixed upland forests (Klemens 1993) containing suitable breeding ponds. v + 18 pp. The green salamander seeks its mate sometime from May to August. The larval period varies from 2 to 4 months and is likely related to water temperature, available food and hydro period (Downs 1989). Larvae of A. jeffersonianum are voracious aquatic predators that feed on moving prey items such as insect larvae, small crustaceans, and amphibian larvae. Unlike most populations in the United States (Bogart and Klemens 1997, 2008), A. jeffersonianum and A. laterale in Ontario are often parapatric and the sympatric occurrence of these species has been documented in one population (Bogart et al. August 2010). Canadian Journal of Zoology 60:848-855. Over the past three generations, the species has disappeared from many historic locations and the remaining locations are threatened by development, loss of habitat and, potentially, the presence of sperm-stealing unisexual populations of salamanders. The female attends the eggs during the 12 or so weeks they take to hatch. Their skin is bluish-black (Conant and Collins 1998). This sometimes makes identificatio… Courtship of A. jeffersonianum was described by Mohr (1931). The salamander's tail is broadly oval at the base and compressed towards the tip. Is there an [observed, inferred, or projected] continuing decline in number of mature individuals? A few of the documented populations in Ontario have been repeatedly surveyed, and some of these populations have been stable over a relatively long period of time (e.g., Location A and Location D) based on surveys performed in 1979, 1981, 1990 (NHIC 1998), and 2004-2006 (Bériault 2005, Ramsden 2005). American Museum of Natural History Novitates 3627: 1-58. Eggs are laid in small agglomerations attached to submerged twigs or other natural support at the pond's edge. Ambystoma maculatum is syntopic in virtually all Ontario populations of A. jeffersonianum, but there is no indication that either species has a serious impact on the other. ABSTRACT An Ecological Study of the Spotted Salamander, Ambystoma maculatum, and Jefferson Salamander, A. jeffersonianum, in West Virginia by Seth Myers The movements of Spotted Salamanders, Ambystoma maculatum, and Jefferson Salamanders, A. jeffersonianum, in and out of an ephemeral wetland in West Virginia were monitored for one breeding season using a drift fence lined with Topics In Ontario, there are populations of unisexuals that are in the process of switching sperm donors from A. jeffersonianum to A. laterale, and historical records reveal that this transition can happen very rapidly. 3rd edition, expanded. Copeia 1983: 1036-1041. Under dry and freezing conditions, Jefferson salamanders burrow underground or in rotting logs. 2009. Unisexual salamanders represent a biological novelty unlike any other organism so far found in the animal kingdom and do not fit into any of the concepts that define a biological or an evolutionary species. 2005. and E.D. It is a unisexual clonal triploid. 1961. Because breeding might be limited to a few nights in March and early April, it is not possible to observe breeding activity over the complete range of A. jeffersonianum in Ontario in a single season. For the Ipperwash record, and likely other records as well, there is no evidence that A. jeffersonianum is present. The morphology of Ambystoma jeffersonianum has been described by a number of authors (Bishop 1941, Minton 1954, Uzzell 1967, Cook 1984, Conant and Collins 1998, Petranka 1998). Both types of predators have been observed on or within egg masses of A. maculatum in Ontario (J.P. Bogart, W.J. 2007; and unpublished). Toxic effects of salts applied for road de-icing can extend considerable distances into wetlands and have been demonstrated to be detrimental to A. maculatum (Turtle 2000, Karraker et al. Status history Designated Threatened in November 2000. The closest U.S. populations of A. jeffersonianum to Ontario populations are in Cattaraugus and Wayne counties in New York where unisexual LJJ are also found (Bogart and Klemens 2008). Sex in unisexual salamanders: discovery of a new sperm donor with ancient affinities. animals which must use heat acquired from the environment and behavioral adaptations to regulate body temperature. Some recent intensive surveys have targeted suspected breeding ponds using drift fences combined with pit-fall traps to capture individuals migrating to and from breeding ponds (see Heyer et al. Downs reported that juveniles could be found as far as 92 m from the breeding pond in a 10-day period. Females, including both A. jeffersonianum and unisexuals, followed a similar pattern with 10% of 206 females returning each year, 6% not returning until 4 years later, and the remainder of the females returning/skipping years in various combinations. In Canada, it has a NatureServe rank of N2 (imperiled), and in the U.S., and globally, it has a rank of N4 or G4, (apparently secure, i.e., uncommon but not rare) (NatureServe 2008). Pond fidelity, where individuals continually return to the same pond for breeding, has also been confirmed in Mole Salamanders (A. talpoideum) (Raymond and Hardy 1990). It arose from the need for a single, official, scientifically sound, national listing of wildlife species at risk. In Pfingsten, R.A., and F.L. The belly is lighter and unmarked (Harding 1997). James (Jim) Bogart is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Guelph. Catalogue of American Amphibians and Reptiles. Thompson, E.L., J.E. SARA establishes COSEWIC as an advisory body ensuring that species will continue to be assessed under a rigorous and independent scientific process. Sever (ed), Reproductive Biology and Phylogeney of Urodela (Amphibia). Taylor. Little is known about predation on juvenile and adult A. jeffersonianum. The salamander breeds in woodland ponds and ditches (Conant and Collins 1998). 2006. Identification of A. jeffersonianum became complicated following Clanton's (1934) observation that there were two distinct groups of individuals in populations of A. jeffersonianum in southern Michigan: a group of "dark" individuals and a group of "light" individuals. obs.). Unisexuals have a higher population density than do bisexual A. jeffersonianum. 2007). Considering the limited movements in this species, current distribution, and barriers to dispersal, rescue from the U.S. is highly improbable. A Field Guide to Reptiles and Amphibians of Eastern and Central North America. Both the aquatic as well as terrestrial groups mate and breed under water bodies. Ambystoma jeffersonianum received a COSEWIC status of Threatened in November 2000 (COSEWIC 2000). Data Deficient (DD)*** A category that applies when the available information is insufficient (a) to resolve a species' eligibility for assessment or (b) to permit an assessment of the species' risk of extinction. Global range of Ambystoma jeffersonianum (from Petranka 1998). Because unisexuals steal sperm from males, this unique reproductive mode is termed kleptogenesis (Bogart et al. 1990. 587pp. Bob Murphy, Senior Curator, Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Biology, Royal Ontario Museum. Many serve on the Recovery Team (below) and the report writer would like especially to thank Brenda Van Ryswyk from Halton Region Conservation Authority. Biological Conservation 139: 159-166. Brodman, R. 1995. Since the last report (COSSARO 2000), there has been significant new scientific information that allows more accurate and precise estimates of numbers and distribution of Jefferson Salamanders in Ontario (COSEWIC 2010, in … A few isolated populations occur in Waterloo County, Brant County, and in Haldimand-Norfolk Region. They grow to 5 inches long and are black with small light blue spots on their backs and sides. They also have granular glands that are mostly concentrated on their tail. 2010. Lisa Grbinicek, Environmental Planner, Ecological Monitoring Specialist, Ontario's Niagara Escarpment (ONE) Monitoring Program, Niagara Escarpment Commission. The temporal data relate to the first time that the population was discovered (First Year), and the subsequent years that the population was still found to contain A. jeffersonianum and/or unisexual individuals. American Museum of Natural History Bulletin 297: 1-370. Amphibians and reptiles in Connecticut: a checklist with notes on conservation status, identification, and distribution. The reason for this loss of spermatophores is that as the unisexuals increase they would take more and more spermatophores leading to a decline in reproductive success of Jefferson females. and W.A. Whiskers (error bars) above and below the box indicate the 90th and 10th percentiles. It was named after Jefferson College in Pennsylvania. 2003. Novel Jefferson salamander, Ambystoma jeffersonianum, microsatellite DNA markers detect population structure and hybrid complexes. The report writer thanks the members of the Jefferson Salamander Recovery Strategy Development Team who have worked hard to find salamanders in historic populations and in new areas. The ADW Team gratefully acknowledges their support. These sites include limestone sinkhole ponds, kettle ponds and other natural basins (Nyman et al. 1968. Piersol, W.H. Ambystoma jeffersonianum was included, with other Mole Salamanders, in the family Ambystomatidae. 200pp. Over most of its range in the U.S., Jefferson Salamander is listed as secure but it is listed as imperiled in Vermont and Illinois. Though we edit our accounts for accuracy, we cannot guarantee all information in those accounts. They transform in late summer (CCIW 1999). Ohio Biol. Ecologists working for various conservation authorities have provided data from historical populations and have found new sites. Reproduction. Hayek and M.S. Clanton (1934) hypothesized that spermatophores could be limiting in unisexual dominated populations and that female A. jeffersonianum might lose out to unisexual females, which would continually reduce the population of A. jeffersonianum until there was no longer any recruitment. They are found around the Great Lakes and west as far as central Manitoba. Gynogenetic reproduction is where sperm from a host species is needed to activate the egg development but makes no genetic contribution (Spolsky 1992). 2005) include Dicamptodon in the family Ambystomatidae. that region of the Earth between 23.5 degrees North and 60 degrees North (between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle) and between 23.5 degrees South and 60 degrees South (between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle). This hybrid was known as 'Tremblay's salamander.' Because Individuals in a Kentucky population of A. jeffersonianum enter and exit a breeding pond from the same point as well as returning to the same area of the forest after breeding (Douglas and Monroe 1981). November 6, 1999 This evidence suggests that unisexual Ambystoma will accept any suitable sperm donor and the identification of that sperm donor can be revealed in ploidy elevated individuals found among offspring of mixed ploidy egg masses (see also Bogart et al. Hardy. Madeline Austen, Environmental Stewardship Branch, Canadian Wildlife Service. It has been proposed that unisexual Ambystoma might affect population densities of A. jeffersonianum (and other possible sperm donors). 2009). Even when breeding ponds are fairly close to one another (1-2 km apart), adults show strong fidelity to their own breeding pond, and there is likely little or no mixing between populations from different ponds. Canadian Journal of Zoology 57: 2303-2310. This material is based upon work supported by the Pp 31-108. in D.M. 1991), that demonstrate very few, mostly homozygous, alternative allozymes in A. jeffersonianum and A. laterale. M. Sc. Two long-term data sets (Location C, and Weller pond) indicate > 90% decline over < 3 generations (33 years). This eliminates the possibility that the unisexuals could have arisen from a hybridization event that involved females of either A. laterale or A. jeffersonianum. Habitat for A. jeffersonianum in southern Ontario is restricted to fragmented woodlands on marginal agricultural land, including portions of the Niagara Escarpment. Is there sufficient habitat for immigrants in Canada? In: Sever DM (ed). Overall, most sampled populations likely have at most only a few hundred adult Jefferson Salamanders, but most have many fewer and the total number of adults in Ontario may be < 2500 (J. Bogart pers. Donato, M. 2000. 2003, Ramsden et al. Collicutt, D. 1999. Journal of Herpetology 14: 113-120. Sutherland, D. A., W. D. Bakowsky, M. E. Gartshore and P. C. Carson. Catalogue No. Figure 2. It is now known (Bogart et al. Some historic ponds have been stocked with carnivorous fishes, some no longer hold water for the necessary time for larval development, and some have been lost to development. Brimleyana 9: 135-140. Adults over-winter in the terrestrial environment below the frost line. The degree of mixing is being investigated currently (J.P. Bogart pers. In other words, these unisexuals mimic the normal, observable, behaviour of female A. jeffersonianum. Using new methods, samples can be much larger and have shown that A. jeffersonianum makes up only a small percentage of any population. Weller, W. F. and W. G. Sprules.

USA vs. Canada team burger contest preview
February 8, 2009 at 12:53 am by ojrifkin · More posts about:"Furious" Pete Czerwinski, Toronto
The Burlington Post has a preview of the burger eating contest between teams from from Canada and the United States at Philthy McNasty's today. "Furious" Pete Czerwinski's eating the 1.5 lb Showdown Burger under three minutes inspired the restaurant's manager to sponsor the competition.
update Feb 8 Results have been posted. The US team won 83 – 82.33 burgers. Furious Pete ate the most burgers with 36 and also won an individual contest at the end of the team contest. Pete Maurizio lead the United States team with 31.
Like the previous comment of last week. Why not change the site name to petefeats.com. OJ, you and maybe a few other replacement eaters (non ifoce) seem to be interested in this canada usa shit . Is there any pride left in you to promote someone that calls you OJshea nerz while constantly ripping your self worth and your website
Anon 11:30 and 1:06 , it is unfair to post these comments without the expertise of Rhonda Evans who never posts on weekends.Hmmm Never posts on weekends . Think about it Think very hard. I think we all know who he or she might be

OJ –
Just a note, the link to the AICE news page on the sidebar still links to 2008 news page.
Perhaps the USA would have won by more if the great superstar eater Joel 'The Cannon' Podelsky were there. He is my hero!

"Pete Maurizio lead the United States team with 31."
I'll never understand why so many people get this wrong. The past tense of the verb, "lead," is LED, not "lead"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should have written, "Pete Maurizio LED the United States team with 31." The fact that the chemical element is spelled, "lead," and sounds like "led" should not fool you into spelling the past-tense verb "lead."
OJ can you come up with a darker color than bright orange on your eatfeats page. Not only is it giving me an eye ache but i can hardly read your page

John, you are my hero. I am an English teacher and need helpers in my war against careless grammar mistakes.
The AICE website has tons of grammatical and spelling mistakes. It doesn't lead itself to professionalism. If I was a sponsor I would probably get a little tense about them considering the money that is paid to promote an event.
Instead of putting up a name like Anonymous, why don't you put your real name in there or won't the Sheas let you

"The AICE website has tons of grammatical and spelling mistakes." Very weakly constructed sentence. This should read "There are many grammatical and spelling mistakes on the AICE website"
"It doesn't lead itself to professionalism." This is a very poorly thought out statement. Maybe you should've used something to the effect of "An inability or unwillingness to use proper English grammar and syntax indicates either incompetence or ineptitude, neither of which indicate professionalism."
"If I was a sponsor I would probably get a little tense about them considering the money that is paid to promote an event." The subjunctive verb is "If I were a sponsor…".
The word "tense" indicates nervous. I believe you meant to say "upset", "angry", "disgusted", "repulsed", "revolted", should I go on?
"considering the money that is paid to promote an event." is passive voice. It also places the cost on the wrong organization. That should read "considering the amount of money one must pay to sponsor an event". I don't think the sponsor cares one little bit how much it costs to promote the event, just how much he/she must pay the promoter.

Well ill be . Grammar checker you just put anony 10;22's command of the english language to shame. All this time we thought anon 10:22 was somewhat intelligent until you pointed out some very weak sentence structuring on anony end.

Q: Waking up a thread waiting on a condition in infinite loop I have a pretty basic producer / consumer implementation. The producer is the "main" thread, and the consumer is executed on a separate thread. However the consumer needs to be explicitly started, using a Start() function. This sets the "processing" flag to true (used in the infinite while loop).
Once in the while loop, the consumer then uses a condition variable to see if there is data in the queue to process. If yes, it does its work, goes back to the top of the infinite loop, then the condition variable, and so on.
The problem I am having is the consumer is waiting for data in the queue, and I want to stop processing. How can I wake up the consumer? I have provided some example code below, removing some major components, just showing the high level design (everything is not actually public).
// Consumer object
class Consumer {
public:
  std::mutex mtx_;
  bool processing_ = false;
  std::thread processing_thread_;
  std::queue<int> data_;
  std::condition_variable cv_;
  ~Consumer() {
    // Make sure the processing thread is stopped
    {
      std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mtx_);
      processing_ = false;
    }

    if (processing_thread_.joinable()) {

      processing_thread_.join();
    }
  }
  void Start() {
    std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mtx_);

    processing_ = true;
    processing_thread_ = std::thread(
      &Consumer::Run,
       this);
  }
  void Stop() {
    std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mtx_);

    processing_ = false;
  }
  void AddData(int d) {
    std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mtx_);
    data_.push(d);
    cv_.notify_one();
  }
  bool IsDataAvailable() const {
    return (!data.empty());
  }
  void Run() {

    // The infinite loop
    while (processing_) {
      // This is where I get stuck waiting even tho processing has been

A: A couple of changes is required for the consumer to wait for change in processing_:
~Consumer() {
  if (processing_thread_.joinable()) {
    Stop();
    processing_thread_.join();
  }
}
// ...
void Stop() {
  std::lock_guard<std::mutex> lock(mtx_);
  processing_ = false;
  cv_.notify_one();
}
// ...

void Run() {
  for(;;) {
    std::unique_lock<std::mutex> lock(mtx_);
    // Wait till something is put into the queue or stop requested.
    cv_.wait(lock, [this]() { return !processing_ || !data_.empty(); });
    if(!data_.empty())
      // Process queue elements.
    else if(!processing_)
      return; // Only exit when the queue is empty.
  }
