  • Distribution, Ecology, and Life History of the Pearly-Eyed Thrasher (Margarops Fuscatus)
    Adaptations of An Avian Supertramp: Distribution, Ecology, and Life History of the Pearly-Eyed Thrasher (Margarops fuscatus) Chapter 6: Survival and Dispersal The pearly-eyed thrasher has a wide geographical distribution, obtains regional and local abundance, and undergoes morphological plasticity on islands, especially at different elevations. It readily adapts to diverse habitats in noncompetitive situations. Its status as an avian supertramp becomes even more evident when one considers its proficiency in dispersing to and colonizing small, often sparsely The pearly-eye is a inhabited islands and disturbed habitats. long-lived species, Although rare in nature, an additional attribute of a supertramp would be a even for a tropical protracted lifetime once colonists become established. The pearly-eye possesses passerine. such an attribute. It is a long-lived species, even for a tropical passerine. This chapter treats adult thrasher survival, longevity, short- and long-range natal dispersal of the young, including the intrinsic and extrinsic characteristics of natal dispersers, and a comparison of the field techniques used in monitoring the spatiotemporal aspects of dispersal, e.g., observations, biotelemetry, and banding. Rounding out the chapter are some of the inherent and ecological factors influencing immature thrashers’ survival and dispersal, e.g., preferred habitat, diet, season, ectoparasites, and the effects of two major hurricanes, which resulted in food shortages following both disturbances. Annual Survival Rates (Rain-Forest Population) In the early 1990s, the tenet that tropical birds survive much longer than their north temperate counterparts, many of which are migratory, came into question (Karr et al. 1990). Whether or not the dogma can survive, however, awaits further empirical evidence from additional studies.

  • Bowling, a Pastime Long Associated with Blue-Collar Americans
    36 2 0 1 1 N UMBER 4 | E NGLISH T EACHING F ORUM by Phyllis McIntosh Art might seem to have little in common with bowling, a pastime long associated with blue-collar Americans. A bowling alley (the traditional name for a bowling establishment) is the last place one would expect to find an art gallery. But Lucky Strike, a chain of chic upscale bowling centers, proudly claims its passion for the arts. Its lanes and lounges in 22 cities nationwide are famous for their ever-changing video displays of works by dozens of emerging artists. Lucky Strike’s innovation is just one example of bowling’s dramatic transformation over the past few decades. Once a no-frills sport played mostly by lower-middle-income workers in sponsored leagues, bowling has become the centerpiece of high-tech family entertainment complexes and fancy clubs that appeal to trendy urbanites. As a result, bowling is enjoying a resurgence in popularity, especially among the young. According to the United States Bowling Congress (USBC), more than 70 million Americans bowl each year, which makes bowling one of the most popular participation sports in the United States. The Golden Age of Bowling Of all American pastimes, bowling is one of the easiest to pursue. Just show up at Bowlers are required to the neighborhood bowling center, rent the required shoes, use the balls provided, and wear shoes like these, which won’t mar the floor of the pay a reasonable fee to bowl as many games as you like.

  • Front Men for Prog-Rock Supergroups Styx and Supertramp Bemoan Harsh Industry
    Front men for prog-rock supergroups Styx and Supertramp bemoan harsh industry Thu Aug 3, 5:48 PM Roger Hodgson, right, and Dennis DeYoung look at old photographs of themselves on the set... By Cassandra Szklarski TORONTO (CP) - Today's music industry has become less human and much harsher on budding artists in recent decades, the front men for prog-rock supergroups Styx and Supertramp said Thursday as they spent the day mentoring the kids from Canadian Idol. "Young artists of today are burdened with the sad responsibility of having to be successful immediately," Styx singer Dennis DeYoung said before heading into a rehearsal studio with Roger Hodgson and the seven remaining hopefuls. "They don't have as much opportunity to grow as artists as I believe people like Roger and I did from our generation and that's a shame. I got better as I got older and, had I not been afforded the opportunity to do that, a lot of those songs never would have been written." The Chicago native said he and Hodgson hoped to impart a few words of wisdom to the young hopefuls, who range in age from 16 to 28 and already find themselves in an intense world of public scrutiny and media spotlight. The show itself has come under scorn from some members of the Canadian indie music scene, who questioned earlier this year whether the contestants are adequately prepared for the cutthroat industry. Hodgson complained of an industry that pressures artists to strive for mass appeal, in effect creating an environment that seems more focused on payback and sales, rather than artistry.

  • Trust Hodgson to Give a Little Bit More
    Trust Hodgson to Give a Little Bit more Roger Hodgson Photograph by : CALGARY HERALD, CANWEST NEWS SERVICE Eric Volmers, Calgary Herald; CanWest News Service Published: Wednesday, July 19, 2006 Roger Hodgson seems an odd choice to take on the role of a hardened, reality-TV taskmaster overseeing a gaggle of young Canadian Idol hopefuls. But the soft-spoken and willowy singer-songwriter, who is best known for applying his otherworldly falsetto to a string of progressive pop hits in the 1970s and '80s with his band Supertramp, seems genuinely excited that producers have asked him to be an official mentor on the show. Come August, the former Supertramp frontman, who was 19 when the band's first album was released in 1969, will be shepherding Idol's surviving singers through some of Supertramp's most beloved songs. And the near legendary songwriter admits he is curious to see how the young singers negotiate some of the trickier vocal gymnastics required to master tunes like Dreamer and Take the Long Way Home. "It will be interesting to find contestants who can sing in my register," Hodgson said. "It will be something different for me." Hodgson's appearance on Canadian Idol is another reminder of the long-term relationship the British-born musician has had with this country. Although Hodgson has lived in California since the 1980s, he says Canada's long-standing devotion to Supertramp has always made it seem like a second home. At one time, it was estimated that one in every 20 Canadians owned the band's Breakfast in America and Crime of the Century albums.
