Preparing UK fishing for no deal
Under a no-deal outcome with no transition, new rules for UK seafood exports will apply from 29th March
As the pressure mounts in Westminster ahead of the crucial Parliamentary vote on Tuesday that is widely expected to reject the Prime Minister's deal with the European Union, DEFRA and the MMO have published guidelines on the implications of Britain crashing out of the EU without transitional arrangement.
'Delivering the deal negotiated with the EU remains the Government's top priority,' an official release states. 'This has not changed. However, the Government must prepare for every eventuality, including a no deal scenario.'
The government has stressed that it is working to avoid a no deal, but has all the same begun encouraging preparations that would ensure the continued traffic in seafood once the UK leaves the European Union.
Under a no deal situation from 29th March onwards fish and seafood products exported to the EU, including fish landed directly to EU ports, would require catch certification. Without an agreement, the UK would become a third country and as such catch certificates would have to be provided when trading with the EU.
Under these terms, UK exporters will be required to obtain a validated catch certificate to accompany their exports of most fish or fish products into the EU. This excludes some aquaculture products, freshwater fish, some molluscs, fish fry or larvae.
Importers will also have to submit an import catch certificate to the Port Health Authorities or relevant fisheries authority to be checked before the estimated arrival time into the UK
Exporters may also need to obtain supporting documents if the fish has been processed or stored in a country other than the flag state
DEFRA has stated that a new IT system to process and issue export catch certificates, and other supporting documentation, is in development and although no date has been put on when this is expected to be in place, exporters are told that they will receive full instructions on how to register and use the new system before the UK leaves the leave the EU. Import catch certificates will continue to be processed through the current paper-based system.
In addition to documentation required under regulations relating to IUU fishing, businesses will also need to follow additional steps to comply with health and customs regulations in the event of no deal becoming the case.
According to DEFRA, to plan ahead for creating a catch certificate, businesses and individuals exporting fish products to the EU will need to know the species, catching vessel's identity, the catch date and the weight of each consignment.

Fisheries Bill heads for Parliament
The first piece of primary fisheries legislation in decades is set to pass through Parliament, putting in place legislation that provides fisheries ministers with the powers needed to set quotas and control access to UK fishing grounds as the UK leaves the European Union and the CFP. The Bill now faces scrutiny and possible amendment in the House of Lords before returning to the Commons for a final vote.
According to the NFFO, despite the febrile, not to say toxic, atmosphere in Westminster, there is something like a cross-party consensus that these powers will be necessary, post-Brexit, as it would be irresponsible to leave a vacuum.
The Bill also provides wide delegated powers to UK fisheries ministers to amend fisheries law retained from the CFP. Ministers would have delegated powers and secondary legislation to provide for an adaptive and responsive future UK fisheries policy.
'In this too there seems to be a broad cross-party consensus, but with concerns to ensure that there are safeguards to ensure that such discretionary powers are not used in a capricious or perverse way,' an NFFO spokesman commented.
'Outside these central themes, the Bill is heavily shaped by the devolution settlement. The settlement inarguably makes fisheries management in the UK infinitely more complex and vexed, especially when there are different complexions of government in London and Edinburgh. The main vehicle for cooperation between the devolved administrations – joint fisheries statement – is an untried and untested concept with plenty scope for ambiguity and future conflict.'
'In English fisheries, the Bill provides for powers to auction quota that are novel and likely to be controversial when it comes to implementation. Perhaps less controversially, the Bill provides new ways of mitigating chokes caused by the application of the landing obligation to mixed fisheries,' the NFFO states, commenting that given the wide recognition that the Bill is a necessary piece of enabling legislation that will allow the UK to manage its fisheries outside the CFP, the main focus of proposed amendments as the Bill passes through the various parliamentary stages, has been on various add-ons sought by MPs.
'These have varied from the useful, to the pointless, to the potentially damaging. There is a danger that poorly thought-through amendments and a tendency to seek to overload primary legislation, could, if allowed, replicate the CFP's rigidity. The Government, so far, in committee stage has fought off the more potentially damaging of these amendments.'
'The Government rightly puts sustainable fishing at the heart of the Bill's objectives and affirms its commitment to manage our fisheries in line with the maximum sustainable yield principle. The arbitrary 2020 MSY deadline has correctly been dropped, mainly because it is unachievable and scientifically illiterate but also because it is an impediment to the practical, sustainable, management of real fisheries. The biomass of individual stocks can slip below MSY for environmental reasons affecting recruitment, and often do,' the NFFO said, adding that the application of MSY in mixed fisheries often requires trade-offs to secure different but equally important objectives.
'MSY is a valuable aspirational marker but as a legally binding straightjacket, it undermines sustainable fisheries management. As a warning, it should be carefully noted that if the MSY objective had been applied as a rigid, legally-binding, requirement at the Council of Ministers in December, most demersal fisheries in Western Waters would now be closed. It is important therefore that the Fisheries Bill contains realisable objectives and avoids superficially desirable but catastrophically naïve legal requirements.'
According to the NFFO, which has supported the main purpose of the Bill, provided written and oral evidence to the Bill's Scrutiny Committee and the Scottish Affairs Committee, and provided comprehensive briefing materials to MPs of all relevant parties, the main danger with the Bill lies not so much with the proposed legislation but with ill-considered add-ons.
'The lesson was well learned with the CFP, that overloading primary legislation delivers a cumbersome and inflexible system, incapable of addressing obvious errors, or dealing with new information, including formal scientific advice. In dealing with dynamic natural resources and a dynamic fishing industry, this rigidity has been disastrous within the CFP,' the NFFO's spokesman commented.
'As de facto fisheries managers, the Government has learned this lesson well and foresees an important role for secondary legislation which can be amended relatively rapidly to meet new contingencies. All those concerned with practical implementation, rather than superficial posturing, will support this approach. In granting wide discretionary powers it is important to have necessary counterweights.'
According to the Federation, Parliamentary scrutiny of secondary legislation will be important but equally, future fisheries policy should be informed by knowledgeable and experienced individuals in the form of an advisory council.
'The Government has not yet accepted this although there seems to be wide cross-party support for something to be put in place.'

REVEALED: Theresa May's deal could see UK TIED to EU rules FOR YEARS, boasts Brussels
BREXPENSIVE MISTAKE! Brussels boasts to EU27 that Theresa May's Brexit deal will tie Britain to following EU's rules for years to come
Troubled waters ahead
CNPMEM President Gérard Romiti
The expected defeat inflicted by the UK Parliament on Theresa May's government and the deal agreed with the EU hasn't escaped notice in Europe, and the President of French industry body CNPMEM commented that the vote has taken the situation from sailing in fog to one of steaming through troubled waters.
According to CNPMEM, the agreed deal allowed for an orderly UK withdrawal from the EU with a transitional period, creating the necessary climate for fisheries and trade agreements to be struck.
'Given the international obligations relating to the management of shared stocks, and the recognition by both the United Kingdom and the European Union of the importance of sustainable management of resources, it is inconceivable that there can be no agreement,' a CNPMEM spokesman said, commenting that there is no certainty that a deal can be agreed before 29th March and the prospect of a no deal Brexit has come closer.
'Such a 'no deal' scenario could have catastrophic effects for French and European fisheries. Like the European Coalition to which we belong, the European Fisheries Alliance, we can only take note of the fact that we have just taken a step further towards this scenario. If until now we had been sailing in fog, now we are now sailing in troubled waters,' said CNPMEM President Gérard Romiti.
He commented that CNPMEM, as well as its European counterparts, will closely follow the British political situation as it develops, while taking great care that the European Union continues to defend firmly the acquis communautaire, adding that the trust of Europeans in European institutions is at stake.
'I call on the European Commission and our government to take all necessary actions and steps to anticipate the potential and multiple impacts on our fleets, our communities and the sustainability of fisheries resources, that would result from a UK exit without an agreement on 29th March,' Gérard Romiti said.

Massive Cheer For No Deal From Question Time Audience
EUFA: Hard Brexit concerns
EUFA sees the rejection of May's deal as a backward step that brings a Hard Brexit closer
The European Fisheries Alliance (EUFA) has taken note of yesterdays vote in the House of Commons and states that while a managed exit and a mutually beneficial fisheries and trade agreement remain EUFAs objective, the vote is a backwards step, although not an unexpected one and the ensuing political uncertainty are of concern to the European fishing industry.
According to EUFA, while the vote brings a hard Brexit into sharp focus, it still sees that there is a majority in the UK Parliament against a no-deal situation and EUFA therefore calls on all parties to avoid such a scenario.
Despite UK Parliaments clear rejection of the Brexit agreement proposed by PM Theresa May we believe strongly in a negotiated deal between the UK and EU-27 that fully reflects the fisheries elements in both the withdrawal agreement and the political declaration, said EUFA Chairman Gerard van Balsfoort.
We stand ready to do our part and to contribute to such a negotiated deal. The relationship with our UK colleagues has always been grounded in reciprocity, understanding and reasoned discussion and we are confident that this will continue after Brexit.
He commented that fish, by its nature is a shared, finite and fragile natural resource.
We are convinced that our British colleagues, as well as the UK and EU leaders share our aim to preserve sustainable fish stocks and the long-term viability of the industry as a whole. Many local communities across the UK and EU are highly dependent on fisheries and securing their future should be the shared goals of decision makers on both sides of the negotiation table.
EUFAs chairman added that a no-deal situation will have grave effects on the seafood industry in both the United Kingdom and the European Union. The European Fisheries Alliance is asking the European Commission and the Member States to prepare adequately for all scenarios, including putting a suite of mitigation measures in place in the event of a hard Brexit, aimed at protecting fleets, fishing communities and the value chain.
He commented further that EUFA hopes that following the rejection of the Brexit deal by the UK Parliament both sides are able and willing to turn their attention to developing and agreeing on a future and comprehensive bilateral fisheries and trade agreement on the basis of the agreement reached between EU and UK negotiators in November 2018.
A mutually beneficial trade and fisheries agreement in the context of the overall economic partnership between the EU and the UK remains our key outcome, Gerard van Balsfoort said.
However, in light of the grave consequences of a no-deal exit of the UK we call upon the European Commission and the Member States to prepare mitigating measures to protect EU fishermen and their communities.

A guy tweeted out recently, "Where are the testimonies of the people called by Jesus?" There are tons of Christians posting in the blogosphere about their ongoing walks with our Lord Jesus Christ; but how would someone find them? And then when they did find one, how would a non or new believer find their actual testimony?
This blog and Link-Up was born out of that need. The desire to capture testimonies in one place where anyone who wished could come and be inspired, encouraged, educated, and supported by others on the same journey. By those whom have been called by Jesus.
Once you've given your life to Christ, it's not enough to just live. Through His grace you are now living a Sanctified Life. Time to join in and tell others your story.

Courses, Schedules, Grading
How do I add or drop a Course?
You can drop a course or add a course (if not full) using MyRED without any penalty in the first 6 days of the fall or spring semester (different timelines apply to summer courses).
To drop a class after the sixth day, you may still use MyRED but keep in mind there can be negative implications including reduction of refund and impact on scholarships or financial aid and full-time status. Use the academic calendar to see important deadlines related to dropping a class.
To add a class after the sixth day, you need instructor permission on a Schedule Adjustment Form which can be obtained in the Advising Center, 107 Oldfather Hall. You also need College approval so you should consult with a College Advisor to ensure that making a schedule change is in your best interest.
How many credits can I take per semester?
You are limited to 20 credit hours in fall or spring semesters (different limits apply for the summer sessions). To request to exceed the limit, fill out an Internal Credit Hour Override Request form then meet with your Major Advisor to discuss your reasons as well as strategies for success. After your Major Advisor has made a recommendation, bring the form to the Advising Center in 107 Oldfather for a College Advisor to review.
Can I change the way my course is graded (Pass/Non-Pass vs. Letter Grade?)
By the published deadline: You may change the grading option for a course by the deadline published in the Academic Calendar through MyRED. Not all courses offer a choice of grading option. Keep in mind that to earn a P for a course you must earn enough points for a C if graded. Most major and minor courses have to be taken for a letter grade. You should check with your Major or Minor Advisor first to discuss Pass/Non-Pass restrictions.
After the published deadline: If you missed the deadline to change your grade option or realized after the deadline that you needed a different grade option for another reason, you can submit a Grade Option Appeal to the College of Arts and Sciences. Meet with a College Advisor in 107 Oldfather for more information on the grounds for this appeal as well as the documentation needed which may include a letter from your instructor. A committee meets monthly to review these appeals.
Is it possible to withdraw from a course or a whole semester after the deadline to drop?
To drop a class(es) after the final deadline of the existing semester or retroactively from a past semester, you can petition for a Late Withdrawal. Meet with a College Advisor in 107 Oldfather for guidance on completing your petition which includes a narrative describing your extenuating circumstances and documentation supporting those circumstances. If your petition includes just one or a few courses in a semester, explain why all your courses were not similarly affected. A committee meets monthly to review these petitions. If your petition is approved, the course grades are changed permanently to "W" and have no negative impact on your overall grade point average.
Will changing my course schedule/plan affect my financial aid/scholarships?
Changes to your courses, total semester credit hours and grade options can affect your ability to receive federal financial aid or to continue to be eligible for a scholarship. Before making any changes, always check with the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid (OSFA) in 17 Canfield Administration or your scholarship sponsors (Honors Program, William H. Thompson, etc.)
Major, Minor or Degree Planning
How do I change my major/minor?
Visit the Advising Center, 107 Oldfather for changes to your CAS degree, major(s), minor(s) or catalog year. It is a good idea to meet with an advisor when you make changes to review your plan and the new requirements associated with it. If you are changing from the College of Arts and Sciences to another college, you should start by meeting with an advisor in your intended new college, who will assist you in making the change according to that college's process. If you are changing into the College of Arts and Sciences, start in the Advising Center in 107 Oldfather.
What is my catalog year, and can I change it?
Your catalog/bulletin year is the academic year in which you were first admitted to and enrolled as a degree-seeking student at UNL. You must fulfill all degree requirements stated in the catalog/bulletin for that particular academic year. In consultation with Major and College Advisors, you may decide to change your catalog/bulletin year and follow the requirements for any academic year in which you are enrolled as a degree-seeking student at UNL. Students sometimes choose to do this to take advantage of curriculum changes to majors and minors that may better fit their interests and plans. Catalogs/Bulletins expire in 10 years.
How do I run a Degree Audit?
To view and run your degree audit, sign in to MyRED and click on the Degree Audit button on either the Home page or on the Academics tab under Important Links.
I need to submit a degree plan. What do I do?
Various programs and departments (i.e. military; financial aid) may require you to outline a semester-by-semester plan toward graduation. To begin the process, meet with a College Advisor in 107 Oldfather Hall.
For military forms, the college will require that you meet with your major(s) and minor(s) advisor(s) to discuss course requirements and sequencing within those areas as well.
Retroactive Credit in Math and Language
I am starting at a higher level than typical in Math or a Language. Can I earn credit for the classes I am skipping over?
Maybe, both the Math and Modern Language departments have a way to award credit to students who are beginning their college level coursework in those disciplines at a higher level that is typical. The policies are as follows: Department of Mathematics: A student who takes their first college math class at UNL at the 107 level or higher and who earns a grade of C, P or better in their first attempt will be eligible for retroactive credit for one or two prior courses, if the student doesn't already have an equivalent AP exam score or previous college credit. Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: A student who takes their first college modern language course at UNL at the 202 level or higher, and who earns a grade of C, P or better upon first attempt, is eligible for retroactive credit for up to two prior courses. Retroactive credit for a course is only available if the student doesn't already have an equivalent AP exam score or previous college credit for the course. For more information, see the undergraduate catalog and request form.
How do I apply for this credit?
To apply for retroactive credit in math or modern language, students may obtain and submit a request form through the College of Arts and Sciences Academic and Career Advising Center in 107 Oldfather Hall. The form can be submitted in advance of earning a qualifying grade in the first course, or after a grade has been earned. Upon completion and grade report from the first math or modern language course, eligibility will be verified. The Advising Center will inform the student of the final decision on the request via e-mail and the retroactive credit will be awarded and recorded as "Other Credit" on the unofficial transcript. There is no cost for the credit hours which are applicable to your UNL degree requirements, but are not graded. If the student transfers to another institution, retroactive credit may or may not be accepted according to the policy of the transfer institution.:
Education Abroad Credit
When is the best time for Education Abroad, and how do I learn more?
With so many options available to meet your interests for the curriculum, destination, duration and funding, education abroad is for everyone. However, the process of getting credit evaluated from an Education Abroad experience can be lengthy (up to 6 months.) To ensure the graduation timeline you want, do not plan to study abroad in your final 2 semesters. To get started, attend a "GO" session offered by Education Abroad. There are even early scholarship opportunities for first and second year students, so it is never too early to make your plan. Always get the courses you plan to take reviewed ahead of time and pre-approved.
I plan to do Eduation Abroad. How can I get my courses pre-approved?
The Pre-Departure Education Abroad from is used to preliminarily approve how classes taken during an education abroad experience will likely be transferred back as UNL credit. There are 3 steps:
- Gather syllabi or course descriptions for each course that you might take abroad as well as a pre-departure form for each subject area you are planning to study.
- Bring these forms and course materials to the evaluator of the appropriate department (ex. See the History department evaluator if you plan on taking History courses abroad.) The department evaluator will review your materials and sign the form after evaluating the course. They will indicate on the form whether you must see them again for a final evaluation when you return and what materials they expect you to bring to that meeting.
- Bring the form and all the materials (syllabi, description) to the Advising Center, 107 Oldfather. An advisor will submit the forms to Education Abroad and be in contact with you via e-mail confirming the pre-departure approvals.
I have returned from an Education Abroad experience. What happens now?
If you have had your transcript sent directly to the Education Abroad office, the staff there will notify you once it has been received. Depending on whether your credit was transcripted at an international or domestic institution, you will receive final evaluation forms to take with you to evaluators for each of the departments in which you may have earned credit. Bring any materials they have asked for during the pre-approval process and anything else you believe may help them identify the UNL equivalent course. Once your credit has been reviewed and approved, the evaluator will bring the signed form to their home college office for final approval and processing. This may take up to 2 weeks to be reflected on your degree audit.
Transfer Credit Evaluation
I am an International Student with credit needing evaluation. What do I do?
Use the International Transfer Credit (IVAL) form and visit an evaluator in each of the UNL departments for which you believe you may have related credit (ex. see the History department evaluator if you took past courses in History.) You may want to email the evaluators in advance to ask what kinds of materials (syllabi, textbooks, assignments) to bring with you to your meeting. Once your credit has been reviewed and approved, the evaluator will bring the signed form to their home college office for final approval and processing. This may take up to 2 weeks to be reflected on your degree audit.
Transfer credit from a U.S. institution:
As a transfer student, your credit from previous accredited 2 or 4 year institutions is reviewed by your home college when you apply. College Advisors grant ACE, College Distribution, Upper Level and Elective credit to the fullest extent possible. This may not always lead to a direct equivalency and especially in your majors and minors, you may need to seek a substitution of your transfer courses into the requirements of your major or minor (see more about this in the next section labeled Substitutions and Waivers.) If you have additional credit from non-accredited or military institutions which is not being applied to your degree, you can seek additional evaluation by using the U.S. Transfer Credit form and contacting departmental evaluators in each of the areas you believe your credit matches.
Substitutions and Waivers
I have transfer credit that I think should apply to a specific requirement in my degree. What can I do?
In order for a transfer course (or alternative UNL course) to be applied to a specific ACE, CDR, major, minor or upper level requirement, meet with an advisor to discuss the class. Bringing course assignments and/or a syllabus with you to the meeting helps advisors to determine if the course is an appropriate substitution. If so, the advisor will complete and process a form that will allow the course to be reflected appropriately in your degree audit. If you are seeking a substitution for a major or minor requirement, you should speak to your major or minor advisor. If you are seeking a substitution for an ACE or CDR course (general education), you should speak to a College Advisor in 107 Oldfather Hall.
What can I do to be excused from a specific degree requirement?
Occasionally there is good reason to waive a degree requirement. With thoroughly documented rationale, a waiver can be granted in order to excuse you from a requirement at the discretion of an advisor. This, however, does not grant any course credit; you are simply absolved from needing to meet the waived requirement. Depending on the specific requirement, talk with your Major or Minor Advisor or a College Advisor in 107 Oldfather.
Academic Probation and Dismissal
Why am I on probation?
You are placed on probation when your semester or cumulative grade point average (GPA) falls below a 2.0. This is determined after the end of an academic semester (fall, spring, or summer) when grades have been entered into your record. To return to good standing, you need to achieve both a semester and cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better. If you do not, you will progress to the next level of probation or be dismissed. They typical progression is Probation 1, Probation 2, then Dismissed. However in certain cases, it is possible to progress from Probation 1 directly to Dismissed. If placed on probation, you will be notified by the University and given specific instructions for next steps.
I am on probation. What do I do?
If you are placed on Academic Probation there will be a hold placed on your record that prevents you from scheduling courses in future semesters until you have completed the Academic Recovery Process. Your first step is to visit MyRED and view your "Recovery Jumpstart" To Do items. Depending on your recovery level, you may also be expected to meet with an Academic Recovery Guide.
Who are the Academic Recovery Guides for Arts and Sciences students?
You have a choice of guides. Make contact early in the semester and strive not only to create but to complete your plan in plenty of time to make use of priority registration. Make an appointment using MyPLAN.
- Your Assigned Advisor (Check MyRED)
- CAS Advising Center Advisors
- OASIS or WHT staff
Why did I get dismissed, and what do I do?
After being placed on Academic Probation, if you failed to return to good standing within 1 or 2 semesters, you are dismissed from UNL and your schedule for next semester is canceled. Meet with a College Advisor in 107 Oldfather to discuss your options and identify your next steps. You have two options:
- Sit out two full semesters before applying for readmission to UNL. Many students choose to enroll at another institution to continue progress toward their degree and prove their ability to be successful.
- Appeal for immediate reinstatement based on extenuating circumstances. An advisor will assist you in making a plan if reinstated and guide you through the appeal process.

Siemens Canada Wins 270 MW Wind Project In Ontario
Solar energy isn't the only renewable energy source that is hot in Canada. Today Siemens Canada announced they were awarded the contract to supply 124 of their SWT-2.3-101 wind turbines for a wind farm in South Kent.
Samsung Renewable Energy Inc and Pattern Energy Group LP awarded the 270 megawatt (MW) contract to Siemens Canada.
The win has several local ties for Siemens Canada as they will be producing the blades locally at their plant in Tillsonburg and CS Wind will be constructing the towers at their facility in Windsor using Ontario-made steel.
Installation of the 2.3 MW turbines is scheduled to begin later this year and the wind project is expected to be online in 2014.
While solar is still king, wind energy in Canada is steadily increasing. Canada is the world's ninth largest producer of wind energy with 6,500 MW currently installed, according to the Canadian Wind Energy Association.
Shares of Siemens were flat in early afternoon trading.

Click here to go to the website. Here's an excerpt:
Very warm and dry conditions the first three weeks of March caused unusually early snowmelt across the region, with significant or complete meltout at low and middle elevations in many basins, and substantial SWE losses at some high-elevation sites. A return to an active storm pattern put accumulation back on track so that as of April 7th, SWE in most basins was still well above normal. With the large snowpacks and early snowmelt, daily streamflows in northern Utah and western Wyoming rivers are at high (>90th percentile) or record-high values, including the Provo, Weber, Ogden, Bear, upper Green, Snake, Wind, Bighorn, and Yellowstone. There is an elevated risk of flooding in these basins as spring runoff progresses. The April 1 NRCS spring-summer runoff forecasts came in lower than the March 1 forecasts at most points, though the regional picture is still dominated by above-average runoff. Forecast points in northern Utah and western Wyoming are expected to have >150% of average runoff, while points in Colorado, southern Utah, and eastern Wyoming, are split between the below-average (70-89%), near-average (90-109%), and above-average (110-129%; 130-149%) categories. Forecasted Lake Powell inflows have slipped to 130% of average, per both NRCS and NOAA CBRFC. With the boost from storms late in the month, central and western Wyoming, much of Utah, and far eastern Colorado ended up with well-above-normal precipitation. Northwestern and southern Utah, northeastern and south-central Wyoming, and western and north-central Colorado stayed well on the dry side. Statewide, Wyoming was yet again very wet, in the 89th percentile for precipitation, with Utah in the 65th percentile and Colorado in the 34th percentile. Like February, March ended up as very warm across the region, with temperature departures of +2°F to +10°F. Colorado had its warmest March on record, 6.4°F above normal, while Utah saw its 2nd-warmest March, and Wyoming, its 4th-warmest March. Drought conditions have improved in central Utah and areas of eastern Colorado since early March, but deteriorated in other areas of eastern Colorado. D1 or D2 conditions now cover 22% of Colorado (down from 37%), 9% of Wyoming, and 0% of Utah. The tropical Pacific remains in ENSO-neutral conditions, though with warming sea-surface temperatures off the Peruvian coast in the Niño 1+2 region. The ENSO forecast models call for neutral conditions to continue through spring, with in increasing chance of El Niño conditions by fall.

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
SEO is the process of optimising a website so that it performs well in organic search. Ranking highly for search terms which are known as keywords increases the visibility of a website and leads to a higher number of visitors to the actual website.
Search Engine Marketing (SEM)
An excellent way to quickly gain traction and match your platform (Website) with what people are looking for. You only pay for clicks and we can help you find your ideal daily budget.
Social Media Marketing (SMM)
Social Media platforms such as Facebook have over the last few years limited organic post reach. This is not necessarily a bad thing. It does force you to use paid promotion, but at the same time, it lessens the number of posts users get exposed to, helping your posts to stand out more.

Pet cat on Twitter has more than 500,000 followers
It's not just people who want to hear about his latest adventures. Many of Sockington's followers are animals themselves.
This fame didn't happen overnight for the cat known as Socks, according to the Associated Press. Socks' owner, Jason Scott, 38, has been sending tweets on behalf of his pet since late 2007.
Scott has created a character by posting Socks' musings, such as, "sorry I've been sleeping all the time."
"He's like the 21st century Garfield." Scott told the AP. And like Garfield, if Socks is the inspiration for a movie, all the better for Socks & Scott, who live in Waltham, Mass. In the meantime, Scott is selling Sockington T-shirts to help buy more cat food.
The notoriety on Twitter has been building as Scott has sent out more than 5,000 tweets. Yes, Socks does have a Facebook page with 1,200 fans, according to the Sockington website. And, no, the cat doesn't type. Scott does the typing.
"People surprise us," Scott wrote on his Sockington Web site. "Unpredictable apes, they are. What I thought would be a little blip has turned out to be a long catcall, and Socks' story is showing up in all sorts of places."
As Ashton Kutcher closes in on two million followers and Oprah and Shaq move past one million, Socks is still working on his first million. But watch out Jimmy Fallon and your growing Twitter army, Socks has more than doubled his following in less than two months.
He's sure to get there with quips such as, "traffic is all jammed up in the kitchen-dining room interchange. Taking a detour through laundry room bypass."

Dick Van Dyke, who is currently filming Mary Poppins Returns, which is scheduled for release next year, has warned of his fears over the effects of "scary" video games and films on young children.
The 91-year-old actor, who will make a cameo appearance in the upcoming film, describes these activities as a far cry from the free-spirited, kite-flying, carousel-riding world of the two children, Jane and Michael, in the original Mary Poppins.
Van Dyke believes video games incite violent behaviour and that big-screen violence is affecting impressionable young people who "idolise it as a romantic way of life". He has no doubt Walt Disney would have been horrified by the explicit depictions of blood, gore and killing in some of the contemporary productions created to entertain children. "He would have spoken out about it," he said.
Van Dyke rose to prominence in films including Bye Bye Birdie, Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, as well as his TV sitcom The Dick Van Dyke Show. His role as Bert, the charming chimney-sweep in Mary Poppins, is perhaps the best known and, in the sequel, he will play the part of Mr Dawes Jr, chairman of Fidelity Fiduciary Bank, alongside Emily Blunt as the eccentric nanny.
Commenting on why the industry rarely makes films with such innocence as Mary Poppins, he said: "We lost Walt Disney, for one thing. Walt was a child at heart. He had such creativity and imagination. We said we were both children looking for our inner adults."
Disney knew how to thrill children with fantasy, rather than reality, he added. "Walt said kids like to be scared. It's a delicious feeling. But he did it with witches, evil queens and things like that. Now it goes into blood and violence."
He argued that children's films from Hollywood's so-called golden age taught morals and manners: "When I was a teenager, I modelled myself after the way Fred Astaire or Cary Grant dressed. Now kids emulate street gangs. They like to dress like hoods. That's just a reversal. They're picking the wrong role models."
So many productions today are "all gunfire and killing", he said. "Violence and entertainment have almost became interchangeable." He contrasts screen depictions of young people driving cars in a "crazy" way with films of the past, where a family would be driving along the highway singing: "All that rubs off on kids."
There is some research to show that observing aggression increases the likelihood of a child mimicking. One study found that high levels of violence in shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Pokémon could make children more aggressive.
Such research adds to Van Dyke's frustration when film-makers tell him that screen violence has no effect on children: "We know that isn't true. I remember walking out of movies that were uplifting and feeling inspired. We'd go to a cowboy movie, we'd come home playing cowboys. It does affect one."
He has tried in vain to raise his criticisms with producers: "They're all in their 20s. They, of course, don't think they're doing any harm."
Asked to single out some examples of violent children's productions, he said that "almost any of them" could be mentioned. Even the Harry Potter films are too violent, he believes: "They're wonderfully entertaining, but they're kind of scary. Too scary."
Depressingly, he senses that screen violence will only worsen: "I fear for my grandchildren. It's all about the money and pandering to the lowest possible taste. That's what's happened, unfortunately. I don't think anyone takes any responsibility."
Yet he is inundated with letters from young people, aged eight upwards, who write to him after watching Mary Poppins and other such films from Hollywood's past.
He said: "They ask 'why aren't there movies like that now?' 'What has changed?' Even kids sense that there's something gone wrong."
Of his own films, Mary Poppins is perhaps his favourite. "I had probably the most fun. It was hard work, but something magical happened every day. It was a glorious thing to have done.
"There was a great spirit about it. Part of that was Walt, of course. He was just spurring us on and complimenting us. He let us be free with it, and that comes across in the film. It has that spirit."

A little history of Mount Sinai according to Wikipedia -
Mount Sinai is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) located within the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County, New York, United States. The population was 12,118 at the 2010 census. The hamlet is located on the North Shore of Long Island, and is served by the Mount Sinai School District and the Mount Sinai Fire Department, founded on October 25, 1930. The Mount Sinai Fire District covers approximately 5.5 square miles including the Mount Sinai Harbor and parts of the Long Island Sound. Mount Sinai's ZIP code is 11766.
Mount Sinai was first settled in the 1660s and was known by the name of Old Mans until a name change in the 1840s. Initially an agricultural hamlet, it transitioned into a popular resort town in the late-19th century and developed into a suburb of New York City in the mid-20th century. While primarily a residential community, the hamlet contains Mount Sinai Harbor and its popular public beach, Cedar Beach.

The powerhouse is in close proximity to a domestic property so particular attention was paid to the visual impact and control of noise. To this end a relatively slow turbine and variable speed ventilation system were specified to reduce noise at source. Noise attenuation was a careful consideration in the specification of the doors, ventilation attenuators, building fabric and outfall.
To minimise the visual impact the powerhouse was designed to be as small and low as possible. This required the intelligent use of space within the powerhouse to accommodate a large turbine and full coverage gantry.
The scheme is designed with operation and maintenance at the fore and is equipped with facilities for pigging and a full coverage gantry within the powerhouse. Lifting davits at the intake, de-watering facilities and safe access provision for routine and occasional maintenance are also provided.
The scheme was delivered using an NEC3 Engineering and Construction Contract with Dulas acting as Principal Contractor as well as preparing the full civil, mechanical and electrical design packages.

It was always just a matter of time before bears were found to outsmart "bear proof" food containers. There have been claims of breached food containers for a while now, but recently the New York Times ran an article about a particular black bear who has bested the Bear Vault 500.
The surprising thing is that the bear has not just overpowered the container and ripped it apart. She has instead systematically learned how to undo the locking mechanism to open the vault and get the food out. For anyone who has ever been frustrated by a "childproof" container, you know what an accomplishment this can be!
Bear canisters have become the preferred method of storing food in the Adirondaks in recent years because the clever black bears had figured out that food bangs hung from trees could be accessed by finding the rope and chewing or tearing it down. Now that one bear has figured out the canister, it's only a matter of time before others learn the trick too!
Other types of canister are available which require a screwdriver or a coin to open the locking mechanism, and bears have so far not found any way to get through those ones. (Although I can almost picture one rummaging around the campsite looking for loose change!) So if you are camping in bear country, that might be the way to go for now.
If you're determined to avoid bear encounters altogether you're left with a few choices. First, you could camp during the winter while the bears are hibernating. Second, you could join me down in New Zealand where there aren't any bears in the woods. Or third, you could turn your camping trip into a major detox and not bring any food! (OK, I don't recommend that one.)
Anyway, let this be a lesson to anyone who thought that bears were just big brutes without much intelligence. They are not to be underestimated - and they can climb trees, swim, and outrun you!

Is there an upside to quitting your job? Stephen Dubner explores this in the latest Freakonomics podcast.
Here's a two-minute interview Dubner had with a woman named "Allie," who quit her stable, $70,000 a year job for one that's not considered legitimate.
Shocking, right?
People quit their jobs for strategic reasons — more money, less stress, more time with the family, etc. This podcast episode is fascinating, and if you prefer to read it, you can do so here.

Thanks to Erin for her purchase of this very special fellow.
2006, 17.3H Riverman gelding, branded and registered ISR Oldenburg. This horse will make you believe that horse dreams do come true! This is one of our homebreds, a Holsteiner x TB cross gelding we sold as a five yo to a 13 yo rider, he recently came back to us when she left for college. He is impossibly elegant, a scopey and brave jumper and a levelheaded individual.
His gaits are out of this world – he recently scored 70%+ at First Level, with 8s on his gaits. He ran a novice in November where he finished 2nd on his dressage score. He is schooling Prelim heights easily and should be ready to go that level after a few Training runs. Water, ditches and banks are no problem.
He is suitable for absolutely anything, eventing, dressage or even the hunters, but would be a spectacular Young Riders Horse. By the incomparable Riverman, who is perennially a top sire of event horses and whose Fleeceworks Royal competed this year against the best in the world at the FEI World Breeding Eventing Championships in the 7-year-old CCI2* class, finishing 24th out of 59.
Owners are most concerned about finding the perfect home for him. This is truly a horse of a lifetime.
Please inquire about a horse's price - prices listed on this site are subject to change due to development or training progress. As it is very important to us to make a successful "match" we encourage potential buyers to discuss their goals and riding background with us. Requests for appointments to see horses will be met with questions about the rider's skill level, goals, etc. Our horses are sold to approved homes only.

Today speaking with a co-worker told me that she was afraid of needles, that for her it was impossible going to a simple blood analysis. Why do people fear of needles?
Interviewing Doctor Draco Nain, expert on blood analyses in an Urgencies service at Oklahoma Hospital Centre, he told me:
"People are afraid of needles because of comparing needles with a bad experience when children with wasps."
After speaking on Facebook's chat with my colleague, she told me that really yes, when she was child a swarm of wasps fell from a tree on her head and they stung her hundreds of times.
Always there is a reason for something which worries us. Psychologists agree with the idea that the only thing for knowing about something wrong is going to the past and searching on our traumatized childhood.

I'm working off a mac right now, and I don't know where my icons are for bolding, linking, etc., so bear with me on this rough cut. – UPDATE: LINKS ADDED. 12/16/07.
See the last bunch of posts – and my colleagues in the blogosphere, inc. Brownfemipower, Kai and Cara – re: the literal battle over the future of public housing in NOLA. There's a stay of execution for the moment, and we should give ourselves a collective moment of thankful pause before resuming the relentless pressure over this issue. But that's not the point of this post, written during my dept.'s holiday party on this Friday afternoon.
I want to thank the blogosphere for helping me pass my general exams, which I did today, WITH DISTINCTION, a rarely invoked status here in my dept. In addition to my colleagues in the Gulf, who have educated me, often painfully, on framing, power, gender, identity, conflict and struggle, I'm indebted to my virtual peers here. The obvious is NYC Weboy, my unparalleled champion, and Prof. Zero is a close second, for hosting such a supportive environment to share my ideas and the personal struggles that inform my thinking. But it's the debates of the broader community that I've been listening to, and reading, and thinking about, that I feel really helped me here at MIT and this morning in particular, especially when it comes to issues of race, class, ethnicity, gender, power and equity/justice. Shout outs go to Pandagon, where I cut my teeth on the feminist blogosphere, Feministe, who's writing I respect, Feministing, who seems to have the biggest market for throwing one's hat in the ring, Shakesville, who's mainstream progressiveness and f***ing hilarious snark never fails to please, and especially, Sylvia and Brownfemipower, for eloquent, provocative writing that truly leaves me thinking. Kai, Black Amazon (who also just met her own academic hurdles – check out this post!), Rachel's Tavern, Racismreview, the Field Negro, The Curvature, Racewire, Racialicious, the Silence of our Friends and Outside the Toybox are also in my reader and in my mind. The M.A.S. wants to know why I love the blogosphere, and it's because it's my real intellectual community, where I shape and test my ideas.
Of course, my peeps keep me grounded and engaged and sane, and they'll be getting their shoutouts offline. So thank you fellow bloggers. Today is a f***ing red letter day, filled with wine and good cheer and warm praise and proud, humbled tears and I hope you can all share in it with me!!

MOTU Digital Performer 6.02 Review
Digital Performer has always offered Mac users a huge range of features and robust native performance. With the release of version 6, the program adds a slew of impressive improvements, including a redesigned user interface (see Web Clip 1), dedicated comping features, convolution reverb and leveling-amplifier plug-ins, Final Cut Pro import and export features, and plenty more.
The Look
FIG. 1: DP6 includes a spiffier, brighter look and streamlined functionality.
When you first open DP6 (see Fig. 1), you'll notice that the program has had a makeover and now sports a more modern look, with a color palette that's lighter and less austere. Nowhere is this new look more strikingly manifested than in the Mixing Board (see Fig. 2).
Although the Tracks window looks fairly similar to past incarnations, it has been given a key new feature: vertical zooming, which allows you to make the tracks larger. I've always found the Tracks window text to be uncomfortably small, so this capability is a welcome addition.
The Feel
More significant than the cosmetic changes are the functional ones. A lot has been done to rearrange the DP work space to make it more efficient. The first part of the restructuring that you're likely to notice is the Control Bar, which has been simplified significantly, with a large field in the middle devoted only to the main and auxiliary counter readouts. The pullout drawers from previous versions, which contained project audio settings, buttons for accessing the various windows, and more, have been removed. These features are now accessible through the Sidebar windows or the new, customizable Shortcuts window.
FIG. 2: In DP6, the Mixing Board sports a totally new look.
Across DP6, Mini-menus have been changed. They now reside as drop-down menus on the right of windows and are hidden under disclosure triangles. Also, it's now easier to open and close the Sidebar on either side. Double-clicking on the divider at the edge of the Consolidated window accomplishes that.
Also new are Inspector palettes, which are small info windows that can be displayed in a Sidebar cell or popped out of the Consolidated window and floated. These include Snap Info, Cursor Info, Event Info, Selection Info, and Sound File Info. Having these windows readily available improves your ability to quickly ascertain status of a range of parameters and settings.
For those short on screen real estate, a new feature lets you open multiple tabbed windows within a single Sidebar cell. You can then switch back and forth between the different windows by clicking on their tabs.
The new Universal Track Selector is a window that opens in a Sidebar, which updates to match the track selections in the active editor window. Although I see its utility, I would have also liked an option for it to work as a master track selector, which would override track selections in the individual windows. That way, you could be working on a set of tracks in, say, the MIDI editor, and then switch to QuickScribe without having to reselect those same tracks.
Comp This
FIG. 3: DP''s new comping features let you select sections from your takes to construct a comp track (at top).
Probably the most talked-about new features in DP6 are the ones dedicated to track comping. Getting started is easy. First, open the Sequence window and pull down the Track Settings menu of the track you're comping. Next, select Show Takes, and all the takes you've recorded of the track are displayed underneath the track, slightly indented, and are ready for comping or to be turned into separate tracks (see Fig. 3). Using the Comping tool, you then drag over the sections in the takes that you want in your comp, and they appear as separate Soundbites in the comp track at the top. There you can further tweak them and easily add crossfades. I would like to see an automatic crossfade option added. While some users will want to add their own crossfades, others might find such an option to be a time-saver.
You can set up as many comp takes as you want. Just make sure to create a new take before comping again, or you'll overwrite your previous one. You can even comp your comps. Overall, the comping features are intuitive and well thought out. And unlike similar features in some other digital audio sequencers, you don't have to use them unless you want to, which I like.
Plugging into DP6
FIG. 4: DP6 introduces two stellar new plug-ins: ProVerb (left) and MasterWorks Leveler (right).
The sexiest additions to DP6 are its two new plug-ins, ProVerb and MasterWorks Leveler (see Fig. 4). ProVerb is an excellent-sounding convolution reverb that's markedly superior to DP's other reverb plug-ins. You can choose from a nice selection of impulse responses (IRs) ranging from European concert halls to instrument plates to parking garages. For future revisions, IRs of classic reverbs and delays would be a useful addition.
You don't have to wait to expand your IR collection, though, because ProVerb lets you load your own. (You can find downloadable IRs at a variety of Web sites.) In fact, you can load any audio file as an IR (if it's in a supported format), which makes ProVerb a useful tool for sound design as well.
Other controls on ProVerb include four bands of EQ, Mix, Predelay, and Damping. A feature called Dynamic Mixing utilizes a compressor designed to duck the reverb tail, dependent on the input level and user settings. The idea is to let elements sound wet, but not overly so.
The other new plug-in is MasterWorks Leveler, which models a Teletronix LA-2A. It offers both compressor and limiter settings and four response curves: Slow Vintage, Fast Vintage, Slow Modern, and Fast Modern. The differences between the Vintage and Modern settings are subtle, but to my ears, the latter sounded more present and the former more tubey. You also get Gain Reduction, Makeup Gain, and Response knobs. As a whole, MasterWorks Leveler is easy to set and sounds really good. The additions of ProVerb and MasterWorks Leveler make DP's plug-in collection even more well rounded.
A related improvement is the new Plug-in Set feature. It lets you set up custom sets with only the plug-ins that you want active. Doing so will allow you to reduce RAM usage and make DP launch a lot faster. By holding down the Option key when you start DP, you can choose which Plug-in Set to load.
Burning for You
DP6 also marks the debut of the program's CD-burning capabilities. Within the Bounce to Disk window, you can choose Burn Audio CD from the Project Format menu. DP will then prompt you to insert a blank CD once the bounce is complete. You can alternatively choose to create a disk image for later burning.
The boundaries of the CD tracks can be defined by Soundbites or by Markers (or both), which gives you a lot of flexibility. You're also able to set the Pre Gap, which is the space between tracks, to a duration of your choosing. Note that CDs burned by DP are not Red Book compliant. If you're planning on professional replication, you'll need to burn the final disc in another application.
Thus Rendered
In previous versions of DP, if you wanted to include a virtual instrument track as part of your bounced-to-disk mix, you had to first freeze that track and turn it into an audio track before it would show up in your bounced mix.
As a result of DP6's new prerendering features, freezing before bounces is no longer necessary because virtual instrument tracks are now automatically prerendered unless you specify otherwise in each plug-in. Prerendering saves CPU because those instruments no longer have to render in real time during mixdown.
Score One for DP
For DP users involved with audio for video, the new Final Cut Pro XML import and export features will be of great interest. They allow for updating of files between DP and Final Cut Pro, either dynamically, with both apps running on the same machine, or through the sending of XML Interchange files back and forth. For composers dealing with constant picture changes (a fact of life in film and video projects), these capabilities promise to make life easier.
By invoking the Import Final Cut Pro XML command, you're able to see revisions from a Final Cut Pro file graphically indicated in DP's timeline and shown in an itemized list. The revised video itself does not get imported, so you'll need to obtain and import that separately in order to view it in DP. Going the other direction, you're able to send revised audio to Final Cut from DP, where it shows up in a new sequence in Final Cut's Browser window.
The Long and Short of It
Overall, I am very impressed with this latest incarnation of DP. From a performance standpoint, it's solid. I've been running it on a Mac Pro under OS X 10.5.6, and I've found it both speedy and stable. From a feature standpoint, the program has become even more comprehensive. I really like the new user interface, and the work-flow improvements have further streamlined DP's intuitive production environment.

We have having a baby boy! I know that I am already 26 weeks pregnant, but hey, time goes by fast and I haven't been very diligent about blogging. I am due June 6th. Saydee's 2nd birthday is June 16th. They will be exactly 2 years apart. I don't know why June is our favorite month, but it's a party! We are super excited! Saydee is very cute about the whole thing. She always points to my tummy and says "baby" and gives it a kiss...although she also tries to push babies off my lap if I am holding somebody elses child...hummmm...we will see how this whole thing goes. This baby boy will have to put on his football gear right out of the womb to protect himself from his very busy toddler sister.
Uncle "Gott" made a surprise visit home on February 12th. It was Presidents' Day weekend (and Valentine's Day), and it all worked out so perfectly. We picked him up at the airport Friday night, and went to my mom's house. Scott hid in his old room, and then I asked my mom and dad to come see something I had in my bag (which was in Scott's room). Scott jumped out and surprised them both. My mom screamed super loud. I have never heard her scream like that before. Not a horror scream, but a little school girl scream. We were all laughing so hard. He made the surprise visit because he recently received his mission call. He wanted the whole family to be there when he opened it. My was mom especially so happy to see her boy. So in Scott's room he read the letter with his mission call. It was to Salta, Argentina. We were all WAY off on our guesses. At least I guessed a country that started with the right letter. I guessed Australia. Scott will leave at the end of June! He will just barely get to meet our new little baby boy.
This is what I do for my job for UW Family Housing...PARTIES! The Saturday before Valentine's Day I hosted a Valentine's Day Cookie Exchange. We exchanged cookies, and then wrapped up lots, and lots of plates of cookies to give to our neighbors around the complex.
Saydee and Aunt Brynlee. We are Washington Huskies. Did you know that?
Here is Saydee with her bike. Her favorite part of the entire biking experience is her "elmet." Yes, Saydee loves helmets. She has become obsessed with them lately. She sees people riding bikes all around Seattle, and always points out their helmets. She also makes sure that people are wearing their helmets. We were watching home videos recently of me riding my bike when I was in kindergarten, and I wasn't wearing a helmet. Saydee turned to me and put her hands in the air, and said "elmet mom?" I laughed and said, "yes, mommy should have been wearing a helmet huh?"
Here she is telling us what is on her head, a "elmet." That is why her mouth is open and her tongue is out.
Saydee's Great Grandpa Sutarik gave this "Tickle Me Elmo" to her when she was about 6 months old. We have kept it for her until now. She really loves little Elmo. She takes it outside, and plays with it all the time. He is always in the washer. Poor Elmo.

Warrior Brewing Company has an exceptional mission: to brew beer where nearly all profit goes to exceptional Veteran charities. We believed in this, and tasked with building the brand and web presence for WBC. We wanted something stark, powerful, and carried a bold presence that also maintained some skeuomorphic tendencies. Warrior Brewing beer needed to be seen on a shelf, and have a brand that is highly competitive in a packed industry. The bottles were made to be simple, patriotic, and characteristically memorable.
The logo has a classic, traditional feel with contrasting colors, creating a sharp look.
The apparel associated with Warrior Brewing Company needed to be readily recognizable in a crowd, and needed to implement a traditional feeling due to the nature of the audience. We also put effort into creating a comprehensive brand around transportation and packing for the beer line.
The bottle labels needed to be future-proof; as additional runs of beer were expected, the label needed to be congruent with future recipes, as well as hit the overall feeling of the company vision. The labels ended up being hard in nature; the design was concrete, with strong and legible letters, and subtle connectively between the rest of the packaging, from the six pack carrier to the neck label, and the color of the font that carried through.
The website needed to be intertwined heavily into the physical product design, and also be modern enough to be eye-catching, but traditional enough to reach the intended audience. With the graphical assets, the rough-hewn feel to the website came alive.
