The predictions of a class of phenomenological trap models of supercooled liquids are tested via computer simulation of a model glass-forming liquid. It is found that a model with a Gaussian distribution of trap energies provides a good description of the landscape dynamics, even at temperatures above T(c), the critical temperature of mode-coupling theory. A scenario is discussed whereby deep traps are composed of collections of inherent structures above T(c) and single inherent structures below T(c). Deviations from the simple Gaussian trap picture are quantified and discussed.

Food habits of co-occurring largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) and spotted bass (M. punctulatus) were documented in two New Mexico reservoirs, Brantley Lake and Sumner Lake, from May 2001 to May 2002. In Brantley Lake, bass ate mainly fish, whereas bass in Sumner Lake ate mainly crayfish. Food habits of both species varied seasonally and there was substantial overlap in the
