|Pacific Northwest Sea Run Forum No such thing as rainbow trout, only landlocked steelhead
|Topic Review (Newest First)

I don't know which is worse: Commercial netting or fish farms. I am afraid with the world's growing desire for lean protein that we are going to have one or the other. It would be great if we could have neither in the Dean River Channel.
The issue of increasing by-catch of steelhead while targeting salmon returning to the man-made spawning channels is a very important component to this issue.
It is compounded by the relative survival of the species involved. There is little question that we are seeing a warming of the offshore ocean (the cause is for another topic) however that phenomenon is important. Typcially fish like chum, pinks, and sockeye doing better (above long term average) under those coniditions while steelhead do poorer. The result is that commerical fishery ends have more fishing time on the years of big salmon runs which typcially would occur when the steelhead runs are down. End result is that increased commerical happens when the steelhead population would be more affected by that by-catch.
Tight lines
|I had run into a crew of guys that just came from the Dean, and were fishing the Skeena area while I was up there They said fishing was good this year, compared to last year. There is a lot of good info on this thread.....
Any reports on the Dean fishery for this last season?
Wondered if there were any changes from last season.
When 1998 - 2000 marked super low return of Kings and Chums ( silversrun was OK) to Kuskokwin drainage in Alaska, Fish and Game near completely closed commercial fishing and even reduced subsistence fishing (unheard before).
The results: during the last 2 years the return of Kings and Chums was well above 15 years average!
It is time for BC government to spend some money, buy back licenses and significantly reduce commercial fishing and to impose catch/release only.
May be they like an idea of the end of wild fish and beginning of farm business?
I guess it will be up to Canadian anglers to put the pressure on the Government right now.
Monitoring and partial closing ( allow commercial fishing every two or three days) could also be a valid solution.
Speydoc very interesting and factual post thank you. The later post (copy of a letter) citing the 88% occurence of Columbia origin Kings in the Canadian Troll fishery is probably also accurate for the floating and fixed lodge fishery that you cite in your post.
To say that many of them are ESA listed fish might be a bit of a stretch there are an awful lot of Chinook returning to the Coloumbia that are not from listed stocks the key to not harvesting the listed stocks comes from timing the various fisheries to occur when the listed stocks are not present (at least when at all possible).
As much money as everyone spends to fish on the Dean I would imagine that they ( the Provincial Fishery types) would be performing some type of analysis on the health of the run. At a minimum I would imagine they look at redd counts and smolt out migration to keep a baseline of knowledge, but I have never heard of anything other than an occasional "Creel Census" during the fishery (mostly checking for proper permits).
Paying the local gillnetters to tag the fish they catch is a novel idea, howevr having been engaged in many types of fishing throughout my lifetime I would be so bold as to point out that paying someone to catch something usualy results in an increase in fishing effort on the speicie that you are paying them to catch.
|Bob Pauli
From two respected steelhead anglers.
From Bob Quigley:
There was a time when the native people on the Bukley were spearing and
netting the fish at Maurice town falls and you could go down and buy what
ever from them, Salmon and steelhead. Then the head of Candian fisheries
came up with the idea of having them net and tag and relase, they paid them
more or the same that they would recieve for selling them dead, I know it
always comes down to dollars and cents on who will pay for these programs,
but why not reduce the licenses for the commercial boys in the dean inlet,
or hire them and put agents on board and work with them, and pay them for
taging and relesaing the large steelhead, that way they still get to net
their salmon, and the tag fish go to the Dean River and that would tell us
alot, also put a value on the return of the tag incase other commercial
guys renet them, or an incentive to return the tags for fisherman. It could
be some kind of quick start, and they can try a work-together program ,
instead of just dictatiing laws that are't going to be followed anyway!
From John DiVittorio:
Got your message on Dean netting. That really sucks but I'm not
surprised. Loomis is getting more and more convinced that selective
harvest is the real key to recovery. Fish seem to be the only
endangered animals that folks can legally kill. A DNA study was
recently done on the salmon caught in the Canadian troll fishery. 88%
were Columbia River stocks and many were endangered or threatened
species. As a result, the Salmon Recovery Alliance made a formal
request to US Customs to ban the importation of this harvest since it
contains endangered species. Should be interesting.
|Bob Pauli
You are absolutely right.
Bob I'm pretty sure I read that book back when it came out, sounds familiar anyway. Once again one of the problems on the Skeena as with the Dean was the establishment of spawning channels. In the case of the Skeena it was Sockeye enhancement on the Babine and the most affected stocks were the early returning Upper Morrice Steelheads and the early run Cohos that you mentioned in your post.
Less I forget the full scale destruction of Gosnell Creek by clearcut logging on a "Grand Scale" just about wiped out that bountiful run of small race steelheads or certainle added to there decline through lost habitat and increased siltation not only in Gosnell Creek but downstream in the main Morrice right on down into the Bulkley.
The problem with these enhancement projects regadless if they are hatcherys or spawning channels is they put a pulse of surplus fish in a system that get harvested and this usually menas more time for fishing which puts a strain on the smaller less abundant indeginous populations not only of Steelheads and Cohos but too the very Sockeyes that are being enhanced!
The sucess of these Spawning Channels has been detrimental to many discreet stocks but they have created a lot of income for the various individuals that are engaged in the extraction of these resources.
|Bob Pauli
There is a parallel BC experience in the crash of the Skeena steelhead fishery culminating in the record low escapement of 1991. The situation was saved by a major cooperative effort of recreational anglers, commercial fishermen and government.
A 46 page booklet tells the story.
by Adam Lewis
Steelhead Society of British Columbia, Bulkley Valley Branch, Smithers, B.C. 2000
This booklet is sold by the bike shop in Smithers [McBike?]. It is hard to get the store to hand over a copy, for reasons that locals must understand. Copies are kept under the counter, and purchasers, as recently as last year, must make several firm requests to get employees to produce the booklet.
A quote from page 29, "The improved returns in 1998, 1999 and 2000 demonstrate that the most effective way to increase runs of Skeena summer steelhead is to reduce the harvest in commercial fisheries."
And a masterful understatement on page 30, "The only way to save the unique coho salmon of the upper Skeena and allow the runs to rebuild was to stop killing them."
For a differant perspective I am going to post my observations - I do not fish the Dean for steelhead, but have been going in to target chinook on the fly for the last 4 years in the third week in June. Most of the Canadian residents I fish with have been doing this for 15 to +30 years so there is a lot of experience with this fishery. The impression I get from talking to these guys is that the chinook numbers have been slowly, but steadily decreasing - the early steelhead that used to show up at this time of the year are now very rare (I have yet to take a chrome steelie on the fly in any of my 4 weeks) The observation is that +40lb chinook have been almost totaly absent in the last 4 to 7 years, coincidentaly these figure match the huge booms in numbers of lodges (floating and otherwise) that have come into operation on the Canadian coast - as each client is only allowed 4 chinook they are known to target the +30lb fish.(think of how many lesser fish are caught and "released" prior to the bigger fish being harvested) This year we observed gangs of 3 to 9 seals harrasing the fish the whole way up to the canyon on each tide - despite anglers using bear bangers and chasing them with boats - the impression it that there are not more seals but that they are being forced up the rivers by competition at sea. Unfortunately sportfishing has become a very lucrative commertial venture for the lodges.
In contrast I must record my observation after talking to one of the commertial fishermen based out of Bella Coola - he and another commertial guy(based out of Langley) took my party and our river boats into the Dean. They were strugling to find enough fish (chinook) in the Dean channel to cover the costs of their fuel and were typicaly getting about 12 fish each time they went out - in past years typical catches would be in the hundreds. The guy from Langley said it was so poor that he would not be bringing his boat up from the lower mainland again. The guy from Bella Coola started suplimenting his income a few years ago by running anglers into the Dean because of declining catches.
So in summary - the chinook fishery is also in decline, the culprit does not appear to be commertial fishing, but rather the commertialization of the sportfishery by the expantion of lodges on our coast (currantly I believe there are no limits on numbers or size/capacity of these lodges)
Comments gentlemen?
Bigger problem than you might think!
Have you ever considered that there has been a Gillnet Fishery (not to mention Seine Fishery)in the aproaches to the Dean Channel for well over 60 years and during that time we have had some very excellent Steelhead fishing? There is certainly a problem with the number of returning Steelheads throughout there range but I doubt that a few atecdotal comments by "folks" in Bella Colla are going to break the case for all to see the true culprit.
As a matter of fact the so called FOC when under a previous name spent more than a few Dollars Canadian to create a series of Spawning Channels just East of the Mouth of the Dean to enhance the Summer Chum population so that the Gillnetters could have acess to a bounty of Chum in the Dean Channel and its approaches from Sea Forth Channel at Bella Bella on the West to Namu on the South.
Personally I am certain that there is a lot more going on here than over harvest by commercial interception. There is something very wrong in the ocean and I hope that at some time in the not to distant future the sport fishing (West Coast Folks) will conspire to find out what is wrong out to the West of land?
But hey it so easy to just blame the 'others!"( apologys to Jane)
One of the members of this Forum is Art Lindgren, who literally wrote the book on the Dean (_Steelhead River Journal: Dean River_, Art Lindgren, Frank Amato Publications, Inc, Portland, OR, 2000: ISBN 1-57188-116-6). I hope he will post his thoughts on the best way to protect the Dean steelhead or at least the best way to get involved in their protection.
I am speechless... this is barbaric.
Can we try to appeal to the provincial government?
Any ideas about what we might be able to do about this situation?
I've contacted a couple of people. Nothing back yet. If I learn something useful, I'll pass it on.

4:45 p.m. post:
OXFORD – Government claims against J. Everett Dutschke will remain sealed until his preliminary hearing for 9 a.m. Thursday in Oxford.
Magistrate Judge S. Allan Alexander issued the order to keep sealed what's likely to be an FBI affidavit, which details what prosecutions say the Tupelo man did, when and where related to a scheme to make the deadly poison, ricin, and a delivery system for it as a weapon.
• • •
Morning post:
OXFORD – J. Everett Dutschke, accused of sending poison-laced letters to President Obama and others, appeared briefly in federal court today wearing orange jail garb and chains.
His initial hearing was re-set for 9 a.m. Thursday before Magistrate Judge S. Allan Alexander.
Dutschke, a 41-year-old Tupelo man active in martial arts and politics, will be charged with conspiring and possession of a biological weapon to threaten officials.
The official paperwork is sealed, but likely will be unsealed later today, said prosecutor Chad Lamar, assistant U.S. attorney.
Today, Dutschke was represented by public defender George Lucas.
Dutschke was arrested by the FBI and U.S. marshals at his East Tupelo home about 12:50 a.m. Saturday after days of investigation after an earlier suspect, Kevin Curtis of Corinth, was released from custody and charges dropped against him.
The two men know each other and apparently have had some kind of personal disagreement through the years.
Dutschke, who has maintained his innocence in the case, responded briefly to a couple of the judge's questions today, saying he had only briefly had time to look at the federal charges against him.
Magistrate Alexander will hear government evidence against Dutschke on Thursday and decide whether to bind the case over to a grand jury to consider whether to indict him.
If convicted, he faces life in prison.
Meanwhile, Dutschke faces three separate Lee County indictments on fondling charges, alleging he wrongly touched three females under the age of 16. His case is on the docket for the May term of circuit court, which begins Tuesday.
He recently pleaded not guilty to those charges and was free on $25,000 bond.
On the federal charges, he will remain in custody at the Lafayette County Detention Center. Thursday, Alexander will consider whether to grant him bail.
In court today was FBI agent Brandon Grant, who was the government's only witness against Curtis. Grant is a specialist in weapons of mass destruction, and last week testified that while no direct link had been found between Curtis and the poison-laced letters, he believed Curtis to be the man who mailed the letters from Tupelo.
Other than President Obama, others receiving the letters were U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Tupelo and Lee County Justice Court Judge Sadie Hollland.
Last week, while Alexander considered the government's case against Curtis, his attorney Christi R. McCoy of Oxford first brought up the possibility that someone else had "framed" her client.
• • •
BRANDON— A Mississippi man who describes himself as a patriot with no grudges against anyone was expected to appear in court Monday on charges of making and possessing ricin, part of the investigation into poison-laced letters sent to President Barack Obama and others.
The arrest of 41-year-old James Everett Dutschke early Saturday capped a week in which investigators initially zeroed in on a rival of Dutschke's, then decided they had the wrong man. The hunt for a suspect revealed ties between the two men and an 80-year-old county judge who, along with Obama and U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi, was among the targets of the letters.
Dutschke's house, business and vehicles in Tupelo, Miss., were searched earlier in the week, often by crews in hazardous materials suits, and he had been under surveillance.
Dutschke (pronounced DUHS'-kee) was charged with "knowingly developing, producing, stockpiling, transferring, acquiring, retaining and possessing a biological agent, toxin and delivery system, for use as a weapon, to wit: ricin." U.S. attorney Felicia Adams and Daniel McMullen, the FBI agent in charge in Mississippi, made the announcement in a news release.
Dutschke's attorney, Lori Nail Basham, said she had no comment on the arrest at his Tupelo home, but earlier had said Dutschke was cooperating fully with investigators and insisted he had nothing to do with the letters. He faces up to life in prison if convicted.
He already had legal problems. Earlier this month, he pleaded not guilty in state court to two child molestation charges involving three girls younger than 16. He also was appealing a conviction on a different charge of indecent exposure. He told The Associated Press last week that his lawyer told him not to comment on those cases.
The letters, which tests showed were tainted with ricin, were sent April 8 to Obama, Wicker and Mississippi judge Sadie Holland.
The first suspect accused by the FBI was Paul Kevin Curtis, 45, an Elvis impersonator. He was arrested on April 17 at his Corinth, Miss., home, but the charges were dropped six days later and Curtis, who says he was framed, was released from jail.
The focus then turned to Dutschke, who has ties to the former suspect, the judge and the senator. Earlier in the week, as investigators searched his primary residence in Tupelo, Dutschke told the AP, "I don't know how much more of this I can take."
"I'm a patriotic American. I don't have any grudges against anybody. … I did not send the letters," Dutschke said.
Curtis' attorney, Christi McCoy, said Saturday: "We are relieved but also saddened. This crime is nothing short of diabolical. I have seen a lot of meanness in the past two decades, but this stops me in my tracks."
Some of the language in the letters was similar to posts on Curtis' Facebook page and they were signed, "I am KC and I approve this message." Curtis' signoff online was often similar.
Dutschke and Curtis were acquainted. Curtis said they had talked about possibly publishing a book on a conspiracy that Curtis insists he has uncovered to sell body parts on a black market. But he said they later had a feud.
Curtis' attorneys have said they believe their client was set up. An FBI agent testified that no evidence of ricin was found in searches of Curtis' home. Curtis attorney Hal Neilson said the defense gave authorities a list of people who may have had a reason to hurt Curtis and Dutschke's came up.
Judge Holland also is a common link between the two men, and both know Wicker.
Holland was the presiding judge in a 2004 case in which Curtis was accused of assaulting a Tupelo attorney a year earlier. Holland sentenced him to six months in the county jail. He served only part of the sentence, according to his brother.
Holland's family has had political skirmishes with Dutschke. Her son, Steve Holland, a Democratic state representative, said he thinks his mother's only encounter with Dutschke was at a rally in the town of Verona in 2007, when Dutschke ran as a Republican against Steve Holland.
Holland said his mother confronted Dutschke after he made a derogatory speech about the Holland family. She demanded that he apologize, which Holland says he did.
Dutschke said Steve Holland exaggerated the incident, and that he has no problem with Sadie Holland. "Everybody loves Sadie, including me," he said.

<< Here I am again! >> ... and in the right place :o) Admin just emailed me to say he'd moved your other work here for us.<< This was fun, especially the lower wolf! Gotta love wolves. >> Lovely animals. I photographed this one at Yellowstone. You've done a great job, especially with the lower one. It has lovely hair texture and form. You get up at 4am!!!???? I could never do that - I don't go to bed until after 1am :o) You can see how these two approaches produced vastly different results. One could be in mist, fog, or just an overcast day, and the other is more dynamic and forceful. With some manipulation, you can combine high and low key within one drawing, which helps you to control the viewer's experience. For example, you could draw a high key (low contrast) sun-filled setting and place a low key (high contrast) subject in the shade.Incidentally, I find working small has taught me a lot - especially in working out what is essential and what isn't, because only essentials can be included and the drawing becomes smaller. And what makes a small drawing readable from a distance is the essentials. For example, it is almost impossible to draw a detailed nose on this wolf, but if you place the top and nostril highlights correctly in a black nose shape, it will read as a believable three-dimensional nose.

Top Choice Award 07
Delivered with two 44cm and 38cm Drake fins, this Starboard iSonic 122 benefits from very good kit. The straps are comfortable and easy to adjust; the pads are comfortable yet light. The Wood construction gives you a nice, light, rigid board under your feet. When stationary, the nose sinks quite quickly so you'll need to be wary and adapt your technique. As for early planing, it gets going quickly but again it needs a little bit of technique. Compact under your feet when sailing, the board feels like it's just an extension to your body. She rides low over the water with excellent control as she'll never fly away. In choppy water, the nose can catch occasionally so it becomes a bit more technical when the going gets rough. We also notice that it can hit the back of waves when going deep downwind. Upwind is its greatest strength where it gives the highest level of speed-to-upwind angle efficiency. When you go downwind, since it makes to feel so good, we have the confidence to push as far as possible and go extremely fast while feeling serene. It's a bit harder in rough waters but the board maintains its very high levels of performance. You get to top-speed very quickly and it carries through lulls superbly. The fin is quite stiff under your feet. The jibe is easy with a constant carve and a good exit speed. A reference for its performance across long distances in light wind.
+ High level performance, upwind, control, 2 fins
- Handling in choppy waters

After my first few Phoenix articles on abusive conditions at the Maine State Prison appeared in 2005 and 2006, officials set unacceptable conditions when I requested additional interviews with prisoners — conditions the Phoenix and I saw as violating the principles of freedom of the press. Or the officials simply didn't respond; or they refused the interviews on the grounds of "investigations" or "security," without further explanation. The result: effectively, I have been banned from the state prison for eight months (see "Lockdown: What Do Prison Officials Have to Hide?," by Lance Tapley, December 15, 2006).
Last winter, Corrections sought to formalize the restrictions they had imposed on my access by proposing written regulations that would apply to all news media. The proposed rules would require, among other things, department approval of interview and news-story content and a ban on cameras and sound recording. Several Maine news-media organizations joined the Phoenix to protest vigorously to officials, as did the Maine Civil Liberties Union, seeing the restrictions as an affront to the First Amendment. Almost immediately, the state started backing away from some of the proposals, but the matter has not been settled.
In the past couple of weeks, after the 1970s court orders had been brought to the department's attention, I decided to test whether the prompt access and "open lines of communication" required by the Langford order would be observed. I asked to visit two Supermax prisoners, both of whom had already consented in writing to see me.
I was flatly refused permission to visit one of them — Gary Watland, the convicted murderer who has been charged with trying to use his wife last October to bring a gun into the prison to break him out. "Security and safety considerations" were given as the reason for the refusal, even though the policy I experienced in the past for Supermax prisoner visits required an inmate to be shackled hand and foot and kept in a "non-contact booth" behind a thick, plastic window from his visitor — essentially, in a separate room — with a guard nearby. Conversation is only possible through a small vent.
I was given clearance to visit the other prisoner, Michael James, a severely mentally ill man who has suffered enormously from his incarceration (see "Punish the Mentally Ill!," by Lance Tapley, April 13), but only if a prison employee monitored our conversation. In an April attempt to interview a prisoner at the Maine Correctional Center in Windham, an official's presence and his interruptions to put subjects off limits had made a candid interview about the prisoner's treatment and prison conditions impossible (see "Prisoner Gagged," by Lance Tapley, May 4). I would not interview James under the conditions demanded.

YouTube's New Search Options Format
If you click on one of the queries from the "Explore" section, you'll replace the original query. A more interesting option is to mouse over a query and click the "plus" icon: this way, you'll refine your original search.
YouTube adds both filters and refinements to the query and separates them by comma. A search for [slow motion, hd, webm, high speed camera] includes two filters that are treated separately: "hd" and "webm".
You can also add the name of a channel (example: [slow motion, @tpsfilmstudio]) or the name of a category (example: [slow motion, sports]).
The new features were part of an experiment called YouTube Topics that tried to help users find videos. "We know that sometimes people come to YouTube looking for a specific video, but at other times, they have only a rough idea of the kind of videos they want."

I don't like the new way YouTube filters HD videos. Before this change, when I clicked on the HD blue button or link, all playback was done in HD but now I have to manually change the playback to HD.ReplyDelete
It seems like YouTube is always changing something, but most of the time it isn't for the better.
I miss the option to filter for 'music'ReplyDelete
Add ", music" to your query (remove the quotes).
@ Alex : I never would've guessed that.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tip, made my day !
In this 'search options update' they missed the option to filter by length of video that was there before. And they dont seem to have option to filter by viewcount and rating.ReplyDelete

I hate this new youtube... Always changing and evertime it gets worse! I miss the oooold youtube.

Night of a 1000 Trains
27x40" movie poster (22mb pdf)
In the "credits" section of the poster it reads...Tornadoes have often been said to sound like a thousand locomotives or planes. If a tornado threatens, follow these safety rules:
- In homes and small buildings, go to the inner-most part of the lowest level.
- Stay away from windows and outside walls, interior closets, halls, and bathrooms are good places to go.
- If you do not have time to get to the lowest level, get under something sturdy like a bed.
- In school? get under your desk.
- Abandon mobile homes, cars, and trucks. get into firmly built shelter. if none is available, lie flat in a low spot, ravine, or culvert with your hands protecting your head.
- Finally, avoid using bridges and overpasses FOR shelter. stopping under bridges and overpasses only leads to traffic jams and the possibility of a greater number of injuries than what would have otherwise occurred.
Dispelling some common tornado myths:
- Decreasing the air pressure in a house by opening a window does nothing to decrease the DAMAGE. Even the strongest tornadoes (EF5 of the Enhanced Fujita scale) do not reduce the air pressure low enough to cause a house to "explode". Leave the windows alone. The tornado will open them for you.
- The southwest corner of a basement is not the safest place to be in a tornado. Actually, the worst place to be is on the side from which the tornado is approaching...usually the south or southwest.
- You are safer outside of your automobile than inside. The high wind of a tornado can blow your car around much like you can with a wad of paper.
- Bridges and overpasses are not safe places to be in a tornado. You are higher above the ground, in the stronger wind, and are in the path where most flying debris occurs.

The Kawarau River flows out of Lake Wakatipu near the Queenstown Hilton and winds its way past Queenstown's airport before picking up the waters of the Shotover River and plunging into the Kawarau Gorge. The river stays confined for the next 30km before spilling into Lake Dunstan by Cromwell's Goldfields Mining Centre.
The valley is a major destination for Queenstown's whitewater rafting, sledging and bungy operators, but Gibbston, essentially the first 12km of the gorge, has gained an enviable reputation for its wineries. It is only since the 1980s that grapes have been grown commercially in Central Otago, one of the world's most southerly wine-growing regions. The vineyards lie close to the 45th parallel in a landscape detractors pooh-poohed as too cold for wine production, despite the fact that the Rhône Valley in France lies on a similar latitude. A continental climate of hot dry summers and long cold winters prevails, which tends to result in low yields and high production costs, forcing wineries to go for quality boutique wines sold at prices which seem high (mostly $25–40) until you taste them.
Pioneer winemakers initially experimented in Gibbston, and although far more grapes are now grown around 30km west near Cromwell and Bannockburn, Gibbston remains a wine showcase. Half a dozen places have cellar doors open for tasting, several with superb restaurants.
You can drive to them all, but you'll appreciate the experience a lot more if you join one of the wine tours that depart from Queenstown.
The steep schist and gravel slopes on the southern banks of the Kawarau River were recognized as potential sites for vineyards as early as 1864, when French miner Jean Désiré Feraud, bored of his gold claim at Frenchman's Point near Clyde, planted grapes from cuttings brought over from Australia. His wines won awards at shows in Australia, but by the early 1880s he'd decamped to Dunedin. No more grapes were grown until 1976, when the Rippon vineyard was planted, outside Wanaka. It was another five years before the Kawarau Gorge was recognized as ideally suited to the cultivation of Pinot Gris, Riesling and particularly Pinot Noir grapes, with Alan Brady releasing the first commercial wines from Gibbston Valley Wines in 1987. Since then, local winemakers have garnered several shelves full of awards, especially for the elegant, fruit-driven Pinot Noirs.
As an added bonus, the dry conditions inhibit growth of fungus and mildew; the dreaded phylloxera has been kept at bay so far.

111203 - Costa Rica, Area de Conservacion (ACG), Volcan Orosi 1,200m
Up early this morning to start long hiking to 1,200 m at Orosi from the Maritza station is at 600m. After three hours of hiking I reached the sample site. Not quite cloud forest, but as far as I can hike while ensuring that I can sample for a sufficient amount of time and still get out of the forest by the time it gets dark. The most common ant at this sampling site was a large, red, Aphaenogaster. On the walk down, at about 1,000m, there was about 20m of trail that was covered in tapir droppings.

In 2002, the year after his mother died, as Alex Matter tells it, he found a brown paper package in his father's storage locker on Long Island. Inside was a pile of small paintings that resembled the work of Jackson Pollock. A note on the outside said that's just what they were.
Matter's account is plausible. His parents hung out frequently with Pollock and Pollock's wife, Lee Krasner, at their homes and studios on Manhattan and Long Island. Alex's father, Herbert, who died in 1984, was said to be making small purchases of Pollocks by 1944. Alex Matter reported that though some paintings had disintegrated inside the package, 28 had survived. He added that he'd found six more Pollock-style paintings among his dad's effects.
The note, said to be in Herbert's hand, identified the hoard as "Pollock (1946-49)/Tudor City (1940-1949)/32 Jackson experimental/works (gift + purchase)/ Bad condition./ 4 both sides. All/drawing boards./Robi paints./MacDougal Alley 1958." If they really are Pollocks from 1946 to 1949, they represent Pollock very early in the development of his drip technique, when he was experimenting in the run-up to his breakthrough poured paintings of 1947. It was an astonishing find, one that could be worth millions. So people began asking questions.
More than 20 of these "Pollocks" appear in "Pollock Matters," which opened Saturday at Boston College's McMullen Museum of Art. Working with Boston College art historian Claude Cernuschi, organizer Ellen Landau, a Pollock scholar at Case Western Reserve University, has assembled more than 170 artworks and ephemera to make the groundbreaking argument that Matter was a key inspiration for Pollock's signature poured paintings.
This news casts suspicions on the package's note. Why would Pollock's close pal attribute 32 paintings to his friend? And add the years they were made? And where and with what they were made? These extensive details suggest that if the "Pollocks" aren't real, then this may not be an innocent mix-up but a fraud.
"Pollock Matters" is a story of a web of relationships in the New York art world of the 1930s and '40s. Herbert Matter was a crackerjack Swiss modernist designer and photographer who emigrated to New York in 1935. The painter Fernand Léger introduced him to the painter Jeanne (Mercedes) Carles in 1938. Krasner and the painter Hans Hofmann attended their 1941 wedding. Krasner and Mercedes Matter both studied with Hofmann, but they didn't meet until they were both arrested at a 1936 protest.

Weekend Results: FFC 8 in Croatia
- Written by Dave Walsh
Final Fight Championship 8 went down over the weekend in Croatia, the promotion of Orsat Zovko. You might remember the name from such Cro Cop-oriented events as Final Fight (which the MMA media thought was his retirement, lolz) as well as this year's K-1 World Grand Prix Finals. Since then they've been going full blast in Croatia, pumping out quality Kickboxing events and drawing solid crowds for them. FFC8 got a little messy, though, as LEGEND 2: Invasion is coming up which forced both Sergei Laschenko and Pavel Zhuravlev to withdraw from this event. Let's be honest here, it is all about money.
Anyway, Thomas Hron stepped in at last minute and put on the performance of the show, which is admirable. Here are the results from Fight Channel.
- MMA - 95: Ricco Rodriguez (USA) def. Zelg Galešić (CRO) - R1 3:50 submission
- KB HW: Mladen Brestovac (CRO) def. Ali Cenik (TUR) - decision
- KB HW: Thomas Hron(CZE) def. Jahfarr Wilnis (NED) - decision
- KB 80: Stevan Živković (SER) def. Miran Fabjan (SLO) - split decision

12.18: Availability of Natural Resources
What is electronic waste?
We obtain resources of developing nations. We also dump waste on these nations. Many of our electronic wastes, which we think are being recycled, end up in developing countries. These are known as electronic waste or e-waste. People pick through the wastes looking for valuable materials that they can sell, but this exposes them to many toxic compounds that are hazardous to them and the environment.
Resource Availability
From the table in the previous lesson you can see that many of the resources we depend on are nonrenewable. Nonrenewable resources vary in their availability; some are very abundant and others are rare. Materials, such as gravel or sand, are technically nonrenewable, but they are so abundant that running out is no issue. Some resources are truly limited in quantity: when they are gone, they are gone, and something must be found that will replace them. There are even resources, such as diamonds and rubies, that are valuable in part because they are so rare.
Besides abundance, a resource's value is determined by how easy it is to locate and extract. If a resource is difficult to use, it will not be used until the price for that resource becomes so great that it is worth paying for. For example, the oceans are filled with an abundant supply of water, but desalination is costly, so it is used only where water is really limited (Figure below). As the cost of desalination plants comes down, more will likely be built.
Tampa Bay, Florida, has one of the few desalination plants in the United States.
Politics is also part of determining resource availability and cost. Nations that have a desired resource in abundance will often export that resource to other countries, while countries that need that resource must import it from one of the countries that produces it. This situation is a potential source of economic and political trouble.
Of course the greatest example of this is oil. 11 countries have nearly 80% of all of the world's oil (Figure below). However, the biggest users of oil, the United States, China, and Japan, are all located outside this oil-rich region. This leads to a situation in which the availability and price of the oil is determined largely by one set of countries that have their own interests to look out for. The result has sometimes been war, which may have been attributed to all sorts of reasons, but at the bottom, the reason is oil.
The nations in green are the 11 biggest producers of oil; they are Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela.
The topic of overconsumption was touched on in Concept Life on Earth. Many people in developed countries, such as the United States and most of Europe, use many more natural resources than people in many other countries. We have many luxury and recreational items, and it is often cheaper for us to throw something away than to fix it or just hang on to it for a while longer. This consumerism leads to greater resource use, but it also leads to more waste. Pollution from discarded materials degrades the land, air, and water (Figure below).
Pollution from discarded materials degrades the environment and reduces the availability of natural resources.
Natural resource use is generally lower in developing countries because people cannot afford many products. Some of these nations export natural resources to the developed world since their deposits may be richer and the cost of labor lower. Environmental regulations are often more lax, further lowering the cost of resource extraction.
- The availability of a resource depends on how much of it there is and how hard it is to extract, refine, and transport to where it is needed.
- Politics plays an important role in resource availability since an unfavorable political situation can make a resource unavailable to a nation.
- Increased resource use generally means more waste; electronic waste from developed nations is a growing problem in the developing world.
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
1. Why are they melting computer circuit boards?
2. What toxic gases are given off?
3. What metals are they extracting from these computers?
4. What do CRTs contain?
5. What do computer batteries contain?
6. How can these chemicals harm people?
7. How much does recycling a computer cost in India?
8. What companies have committed to reducing the toxic chemicals in their products?
1. Why does electronic waste that is generated in developed nations get dumped in developing nations?
2. Why is politics important in the availability of resources?
3. Why do some nations consume more goods and generate more waste than others?

I don't know who has it worse on this week's episode of Degrassi — Alli, who ran away, or Clare, who had to deal with not one, but two very creepy teenage boys who don't understand boundaries. No, Alli probably has it worse, since by the end of "Jesus, Etc., Part Two" there's a chance that she might have been kidnapped! The Jenna/K.C. subplot where they babysit someone's kid was unimportant; can she just go into early labor already?
But not to worry, those of you who love controversy: The two main plots gave us plenty of guidelines on how to spice up your boring life. Soon you'll have baby mama drama and guys appearing at your door in the middle of a thunderstorm.

|Getting Started The only dumb question is the one not asked
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Thanks Juro, I actually live about 10 minutes from the Miller's and have just recently heard quite a bit about it being a pretty good trout spot also. What should I bring with me as far as flies? Is there a resource that I can find out what the hatches would be for the time I will be there?
I think two things would help -
formal casting lessons
There are many good instructors in MA, for instance Bill and Sheila Hassan @ 617-759-8627 who are located in Medway, MA. In fact if you look on the FFF site the certified instructors (including myself) are listed.
applied time on stream and pond
From what I know of trout fishing in Oregon, there is some stellar stillwater trout fishing with huge trout. Wyoming and Idaho will call for more stream work. So you'd be best to try both.
I would suggest fishing White Pond and Walden Pond in Concord, or one of the phenomenal kettle ponds on Cape Cod. If you have a float tube you'll be in good shape, or borrow one from a friend.
For stream fishing, I would visit the Deerfield and Swift, also the Westfield and other rivers to the west to get the most realistic taste of trout fishing out west without actually being there. If you have a NH license, there are even more choices including the Pemi, Swift, Sugar, Ammonusuc (sp?), Contoocook, just to name a few.
I would not delay too long or the conditions will become unrealistic - trout are early season and late season fare in MA. Kibbies might give you a false sense of accomplishment in July
If you want your trip to be experienced further up the learning curve I would take these steps.
Green and going out West
I've been wanting to get into flyfishing for years and just recently I've been able to take a quick lesson in casting. This was pushed along because of an upcoming trip that I've planned out to Oregon, Idaho, and Wyoming in August. I've been trying to get out as much as possible to work on my cast and presentation but I have a feeling that I will be at a great disadvantage being not only new to the area but to style of fishing all together. Does anyone have any suggestions of who I can talk to about the areas I'll be in or any tips I could benefit from?

1.17: Comparison of Problem-Solving Models
Do you know all of the peaks of the Presidential Range?
While at Galehead Hut, Kelly found a book on the different mountains in the Presidential Range. She was fascinated to learn that so many of them were above 4000 feet in elevation. Laurel, one of the leaders saw her reading it and came over to her.
"Pretty interesting, huh?" she asked Kelly.
"Yes. I had no idea."
"Well if you continue hiking maybe you'll become part of the Four Thousand Footers Club," Laurel said.
"What is that?" Kelly asked.
"That is a group that climbs all of the peaks above 4000 feet. There are 48 of them."
Wow! Kelly couldn't believe it. If each peak was at least 4000 feet, that would be quite a collection. Kelly looked in the book again and found a whole chapter on the Four Thousand Footers Club. She was fascinated. She wrote down the following mountains in her journal.
Washington 6288 ft.
Adams 5774 ft
Jefferson 5712 ft.
Monroe 5,384 ft.
Madison 5,367 ft.
Lafayette 5,260 ft.
Lincoln 5089 ft.
If she climbed each of these peaks, how many feet would that be in all? If each peak took two days average to climb, how many days would it take her to climb them all?
Use your problem solving to help Kelly figure this out. You will be able to solve this problem by the end of the Concept.
Taking the time to read and understand a problem is the key to finding a solution. In fact, it is the part that students often rush through and then make mistakes or become confused. You can use the questions that you learned in the last Concept. Remember those?
Also, sometimes there will be extra information in a problem to throw you off-pay close attention as you read and don't be fooled!!
This problem has extra information in it.
Ron arranged his herb garden in the following order:
2 plants, 5 plants, 11 plants, 23 plants
How many plants will be in the fifth row?
Whenever you see a series of numbers, you should be alert to use the find a pattern strategy.
This problem is asking us to identify a pattern rule and use that pattern rule to find how many plants will be in the fifth row.
The question has nothing to do with the area of the garden, so we can ignore that information.
Make a note to in your notebook that when you see a series of numbers that you need to look for a pattern.
Melissa has 72 cookies she wants to put evenly into 7 gift bags.
There are half as many chocolate chip cookies as peanut butter cookies.
How many cookies will be left over after she puts them in the bags?
When we see the phrase "how many will be left over, we know the problem is asking about remainders and that to solve this problem we will need to divide.
We don't care about the numbers of different types of cookies, so we can ignore that information.
There will be two cookies left over.
There are a variety of strategies that you would select from when working on a problem, such as find a pattern, guess and check, work backward, draw a picture, write an equation, and use a formula. The more you practice solving problems, the quicker you will become at identifying the most appropriate strategies to use when solving specific types of problems.
Here are some hints to selecting a strategy.
- Find a Pattern - best used when there is a series of numbers and/or when you are being asked for a later quantity. For example, find the number in the tenth step.
- Guess and Check - best used when you are looking for one or two numbers and you think one of them might work. You can take a guess, try out a number and then adjust your answer from there.
- Work Backwards - think about the problems that you had earlier in this chapter when you were given the area or perimeter and you needed to find a side length. Working backwards is very helpful for problems like these where an answer of some sort is given right away.
- Draw a Picture - look for examples that have some kind of visual in them-problems with geometric shapes work best with drawing a picture.
- Write an Equation - writing an equation is great when there is a missing quantity that needs to be figured out. Then you can write an equation and solve for the answer.
- Use a Formula - Formulas are helpful for area and perimeter problems. You will also encounter other formulas as you work through this book and those can be applied when problem solving as well.
Take a few notes before continuing in this lesson. Be sure that you understand all of the different strategies and when to use each one.
Now it's time to practice. Choose the best strategy based on each description.
Example A
A list of numbers is found in the problem. Which strategy might you use?
Solution: Look for a Pattern
Example B
The answer is given, but part of the problem is missing.
Solution: Working Backwards
Example C
A problem with a diagram or geometric prism.
Solution: Draw a Picture
Now back to the problem from the beginning of the Concept.
Here is the original problem once again.
While at Galehead Hut, Kelly found a book on the different mountains in the Presidential Range. She was fascinated to learn that so many of them were above 4000 feet in elevation. Laurel, one of the leaders saw her reading it and came over to her.
"Pretty interesting, huh?" she asked Kelly.
"Yes. I had no idea."
"Well if you continue hiking maybe you'll become part of the Four Thousand Footers Club," Laurel said.
"What is that?" Kelly asked.
"That is a group that climbs all of the peaks above 4000 feet. There are 48 of them."
Wow! Kelly couldn't believe it. If each peak was at least 4000 feet, that would be quite a collection. Kelly looked in the book again and found a whole chapter on the Four Thousand Footers Club. She was fascinated. She wrote down the following mountains in her journal.
Washington 6288 ft.
Adams 5774 ft
Jefferson 5712 ft.
Monroe 5,384 ft.
Madison 5,367 ft.
Lafayette 5,260 ft.
Lincoln 5089 ft.
If she climbed each of these peaks, how many feet would that be in all? If each peak took two days average to climb, how many days would it take her to climb them all?
First, let's find the sum of all of the mountain elevation in Kelly's list.
How many miles is that?
But remember that is uphill all the way!!
Now if it were to take 2 days for each peak, how many days would it take Kelly to climb these mountains on her list?
We can write an equation.
7 mountains
2 days
At Galehead Hut, Kelly looked out at the views of the mountains and was glad to be a part of the summer teen adventure program. While she was tired, she was also satisfied and proud of what she had accomplished so far. She was excited to think about what the next adventure of the group would be!
Here are the vocabulary words in this Concept.
- Product
- the answer in a multiplication problem
- Difference
- the answer in a subtraction problem
- Sum
- the answer in an addition problem
- Quotient
- the answer in a division problem
- Problem Solving
- solving a problem mathematically that is written in verbal language
Guided Practice
Here is one for you to try on your own.
Ms. Powell wants to hang a large tapestry lengthwise on her living room wall. The tapestry has a perimeter of 42 ft and a width of 9 ft. Ms. Powell's wall is 10 ft high. Will the length of the tapestry fit against the height of Ms. Powell's ceiling?
This is a multi-step problem requiring a variety of different strategies to solve. To start off, it might help to draw a picture to get a feel for what the problem is asking. The problem wants to know if the tapestry will fit. We are going to have to find the length of the tapestry and compare it to the height of Ms. Powell's wall.
Now we need to return to the problem and compare the length of the tapestry with the height of the ceiling. The tapestry is 12 feet long; the ceiling is only 10 feet high. The tapestry won't fit!
An alternative approach to solving this problem would have been to only look at a drawing. We could have drawn each piece of the problem and then compared. Looking at the dimensions, you would have been able to see that the tapestry would not fit.
Video Review
Here is a video for review.
- This is a Khan Academy video on word problem solving strategies.
Directions: Use what you have learned to solve the following problems.
- Mary went to the music store with her babysitting money. She bought two CDs for $12.50 each and two magazines for $4.25 each. She left the store with $10.25. How much money did she start with?
- Since he began his fitness routine, Mr. Trigg has measured his weight every week. His weights for the first six weeks are as follows: 236, 230, 232, 226, 228, 222. If the pattern continues, how much will he weigh in the tenth week?
- The area of City Park is \begin{align*}75 \ km^2\end{align*}
75 km2. The length of the park is 3 times the width. What is the perimeter of the park?
- A farmer planted corn, wheat, and cotton in a total of 88 fields. He planted twice as many fields in corn than in wheat and half as many in cotton than corn. How many fields did he plant of each?
- Mrs. Whitaker is mailing a pair of shoes to her daughter. She wants to fit the rectangular shoebox inside a larger square box. The area of the shoebox is \begin{align*}84 \ in.^2\end{align*}
84 in.2; the length of one side is 12 inches. One side of the larger square box measures 14 inches. Will the shoebox fit in the larger box? How do you know?
- After a pin-ball game, the score board showed that the combined points of Peter, Ella, and Ned is 728. Ella scored half the points of Ned and Peter scored one-fourth the points of Ned. How many points did each player score?
- Tami made a total of $47 babysitting on New Year's Eve. She made her hourly rate plus a $7 tip. If she worked 5 hours, what is her hourly rate?
- A weightlifter lifts weights in the following order: 0.5lb, 1.5lb, 4.5lb, 13.5lb. How many pounds will he lift next?
- Figure A is a square, with a side that measures 9 cm. Figure B is a square with a side that measures 6 cm. Which figure has the greater area, Figure A or Figure B?
- Mr. Rowe and Mrs. Rowe are driving 959 miles to a beach vacation. They want to split the distance over 4 days, driving the exact same amount on the first three days and the remainder on the fourth day. If they drive 119 miles on the fourth day, how many miles will they drive on the first day?
- Cedric spent $27.75 on pizza for his friends. Each cheese pizza cost $8 and each extra topping cost $0.75. If Cedric bought 3 cheese pizzas, how many extra toppings did he get?
- At the trading fair, Chi-wong arranged 72 baseball cards in rows on the trading table. Each row had 14 more cards than the number of rows. How many cards were in each row?
- If 29 people went to the zoo the first day and double went the second, how many went in both days combined?
- If on the third day, double the people from the second day went, how many people went to the zoo?

Exhibition highlights artistry of Swiss engineering through June 15
Posted March 27, 2003; 10:01 a.m.
An exhibition celebrating the contributions of Swiss engineering, "The Art of Structural Design: A Swiss Legacy," will be on display at the Princeton University Art Museum through Sunday, June 15.
From New York's George Washington Bridge to Boston's new Bunker Hill Bridge, some of America's most acclaimed structures are the products of Swiss design. "Swiss Legacy" is the first exhibition to focus on the work of Robert Maillart, Othmar Ammann, Heinz Isler and Christian Menn, as well as Wilhelm Ritter and Pierre Lardy, their instructors at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.
These designers are considered to be among the most innovative structural designers of the 20th century. They are acclaimed by structural engineers, artists and architects alike for revolutionizing the field and setting into motion the modern relationship between form and function.
David Billington, the Gordon Y.S. Wu Professor of Engineering and director of the Program in Architecture and Engineering at Princeton, has conducted research at the Zurich institute for 25 years and helped organize the exhibition.
The exhibition is free and open to the public. The art museum is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call (609) 258-3788.

Egypt should investigate, solve journalist murders
Dear Counselor Barakat: On November 26, the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution on the safety of journalists and the issue of impunity, a demonstration of the deep level of global concern. The only way to break the cycle of impunity is to bring to justice the killers of journalists, something Egypt has failed to do. Egypt is ranked second on CPJ's list of the deadliest countries for journalists in 2013.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warns Republicans (John McCain (R-Az), Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH), specifically) to lay off the completely unfounded attacks on U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice over the attack on American diplomats in Benghazi, emphasis is mine:
"The personal attacks against Ambassador Rice by certain Republican senators have been outrageous and utterly unmoored from facts and reality. I am shocked that senators would continue these attacks even when the evidence – including disclosures from the intelligence community about the information she presented – have made it clear that the allegations against Ambassador Rice are baseless, and that she has done absolutely nothing wrong.
Ambassador Rice's service as United States Ambassador to the United Nations has been impeccable. She has answered all questions raised in relation to the Benghazi attacks completely and repeatedly. The Senate committees of jurisdiction are in the midst of examining the events leading up to the Benghazi attacks, and I agree with those – including the ranking Republican members of both the Intelligence and Homeland Security committees – who have said we should let the committees do their work. There should be no place for such blatant partisanship in oversight of our nation's intelligence community.
The election is over. It is time to drop these partisan political games, and focus our attention on the real challenges facing us as a nation."
Really. These people need to get a grip on their partisan leanings and do the jobs they are being paid by taxpayers to do instead of carrying out vendettas based on completely unfounded allegations. Idiots.

Move over, granny's rum balls. There's a hip new boozy dessert in town. Betty Crocker SuperMoist white cake mix, bottled strawberry margarita mix and tequila are the secret to a sensational grownups-only treat.
To make virgin margarita cupcakes, replace the tequila with 1/4 cup more margarita mix, which is nonalcoholic. Some brands may be labeled daiquiri and margarita mix.
To make the frosting boozy, substitute 1 tablespoon tequila for 1 tablespoon of margarita mix.
If you don't have a decorating bag and tip, spoon frosting into a large resealable food-storage plastic bag and cut off a corner of the bag to pipe frosting onto cupcakes.

In a recent article on the Daily Maverick, Simon Allison identifies the "surprisingly perceptive" core message of Al Shabab leader Ahmed Abdi Godane's recent propaganda audio message.
In his message, Mr. Godane urges his Somali comrades to throw out their Kenyan and Ethiopian occupiers. Mr. Allison notes that, although unsettling, Godane is, in certain respects, correct, and is tapping into widespread sentiments.
Despite operating in Somalia under the authority of an African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) to rid the country of Al Shabab, Kenyan and Ethiopian troops are, in fact, occupying Somalia. Their goals are not altruistic, and are largely informed by their own national security and political considerations.
Thus, instead of celebrating the foreign troops' efforts to stem Al Shabab, Somalis are worried about the out-sized influence being wielded by foreign powers in their country.
Although troubled by these developments, the United States and its partners have other goals in the region that will prevent any significant intrusion into Kenyan or Ethiopian plans.
Godane's message is particularly striking when considering the formation of federal states in Somalia. In the absence of strong leadership from the Somali Federal Government (SFG), Kenya and Ethiopia have assumed leadership positions as state builders and negotiators in southern Somalia.
In practice, this means that Kenya and Ethiopia have been able to influence the formation of new federal states, and create governments that will benefit their own national security concerns.

What's an Asthma Action Plan?
Having a plan makes almost anything easier, even asthma.
An asthma action plan is a set of instructions your doctor will write down for you and your family. It will tell you how to prevent asthma flare-ups and deal with flare-ups when they happen. Your doctor might give you a plan, or you can print out a sample plan and ask him or her to complete it with you.
An asthma action plan helps you keep your asthma under control. And when your asthma is controlled, breathing problems won't keep you from playing sports, having fun, and doing whatever you want to do. Following your plan can also mean fewer trips to your doctor or to the emergency department.
What's in the Plan?
A key part of the plan will tell you exactly what to do if you have a flare-up. It will say which medicine to take and how much of it to take. It also will say when someone needs to call the doctor or take you to the emergency department.
You may need your mom, dad, or another adult to help you put the plan into action. Talk with your parents about which parts of the plan you are going to handle by yourself and when you need to ask for help.
Triggers and More
A typical asthma action plan also would cover:
- how to avoid the things that make you have flare-ups (also called triggers)
- how to catch flare-ups early and treat them
Because each kid's asthma is different, each kid's plan is different. Here's some other stuff that might also be in your plan:
- steps you should take before exercising
- how to use your peak flow meter if your doctor wants you to use one
- the names of your medicines and how to take them
- your doctor's phone number and other important numbers
Understand Your Plan
Talk with your doctor about your plan and ask questions if something doesn't make sense. Some instructions in the plan will apply every day, not just when you're having breathing problems. For example, you'll want to stay away from stuff that makes your asthma worse and take long-term control medicine (also called controller or maintenance medicine) regularly, if your doctor has prescribed it for you.
Your mom or dad may give a copy of the action plan to your school nurse, your teacher, and anyone else who takes care of you. You should probably keep a copy of it with you, too. Following this plan will help keep you in action!

Anthropogenic wastes, toxic chemicals, and changes in land-use patterns resulting from residential, commercial, and recreational development have stressed the environment of the Sound, causing degradation and potential loss of benthic habitats (Koppelman and others, 1976; Long Island Sound Study, 1994). Detailed maps of the sea floor are needed to help evaluate the extent of adverse impacts and to help manage resources wisely in the future. Therefore, in a continuing effort to better understand Long Island Sound, we have constructed and interpreted sidescan sonar mosaics (complete-coverage acoustic images of the sea floor) within specific areas of special interest. The mosaic presented herein covers a 190.3 km square area of the sea floor in the West-Central Basin of Long Island Sound.
The mosaics and their interpretations serve many purposes, including: (1) defining the geological variability of the sea floor, which is one of the primary controls of benthic habitat diversity; (2) improving our understanding of the processes that control the distribution and transport of bottom sediments and the distribution of benthic habitats and associated infaunal community structures; and (3) providing a detailed framework for future research, monitoring, and management activities. The sidescan sonar mosaics also serve as base maps for subsequent sedimentological, geochemical, and biological observations, because precise information on environmental setting is important for selection of sampling sites and for accurate interpretation of point measurements.
