David Bromwich, writing on Huffpo about the mosque near Ground Zero, explores American political tradition before focusing on two unlikely heirs of the tolerant spirit:
The language of the American founders contains not one word about sensitivity. "As to religion," wrote Thomas Paine in Common Sense, "I hold it to be the indispensable duty of all government, to protect all conscientious professors thereof, and I know of no other business which government hath to do therewith." But did Paine and others mean to extend such toleration to Muslims? They did, and they said they did. The question was openly debated whether religious liberty ought to be extended to such outliers as Catholics, Muslims and Jews. In the debate on the Constitution, for example, in the North Carolina convention, on July 30, 1788, Henry Abbot wondered if there were not considerable danger in granting a federal government the power to make treaties. Could not a treaty be made "engaging with foreign powers to adopt the Roman catholic religion in the United States, which would prevent people from worshiping God according to their own consciences." Abbot pursued his anxious challenge:
The exclusion of religious tests is by many thought dangerous and impolitic. They suppose that if there be no religious tests required, Pagans, Deists and Mahometans might obtain offices among us, and that the Senate and Representatives might all be Pagans.A conclusive reply to Abbot was given by James Iredell:
How is it possible to exclude any set of men, without taking away that principle of religious freedom which we ourselves so warmly contend for? This is the foundation on which persecution has been raised in every part of the world. The people in power were always in the right, and every body else wrong. If you admit the least difference, the door to persecution is opened....American Christians in 2010 (if they are white) cannot easily call on memories of persecution to support a commitment to toleration. Even Catholics, who now have six judges on the U.S. Supreme Court, and Jews, who have three judges, may find that such fears hardly seem to apply in America. Yet a lively horror of persecution by Americans, thinking about America itself, seems a moral necessity for those who have to imagine ills that have never befallen them. And we all turn unimaginative -- and therefore morally lazy -- when the tracks of a prejudice favor our fortunes for long enough. We can truly secure ourselves against persecution only by binding ourselves against the privilege of being persecutors.
...It has been said that liberty is a political good that is easier to win than to maintain; that the habits necessary for its maintenance are easier to unlearn than to learn. To judge by events of the last three months, we have gone a long way toward unlearning the habits of religious freedom. Yet at this moment two Americans in public life have had the nerve and sense to remind us of the simplicity of the principle. Michael Bloomberg said in a radio address in June:
If somebody wants to build a religious house of worship, they should do it, and we shouldn't be in the business of picking which religions can and which religions can't. I think it's fair to say if somebody was going to try to on that piece of property, build a church or a synagogue, nobody would be yelling and screaming. And the fact of the matter is that Muslims have a right to do it too....Ron Paul said in a statement of August 20:
The justification to ban the mosque is no more rational than banning a soccer field in the same place because all the suicide bombers loved to play soccer.The comparison is worthy of Paine -- and yields not a pious inch to the new apologists for prejudice. There is hope in the fearlessness of Bloomberg and Paul, a hope that derives from their common source. Nothing that any crowd can offer is better than the unhallowed liberty of life itself.

Kevin Robinson is in his third season as an assistant coach at the College of the Holy Cross in 2012-2013. He has helped lead the Crusaders to a 16-12 record in Patriot League regular season play over the last two seasons. Robinson came to Holy Cross after serving as an assistant coach at Mount St. Mary's University for the previous seven years.
During his final three seasons at Mount St. Mary's, Robinson helped the Mountaineers to an overall record of 54-44 and a 35-19 mark in the Northeast Conference. Mount St. Mary's also appeared in postseason play twice during that time frame, advancing to the NCAA Tournament in 2008 and the College Insider Tournament in 2009. In 2008, the Mountaineers won the Northeast Conference Tournament title and posted the first NCAA Division I Tournament victory in school history, with a 69-60 win over Coppin State in the opening round.
Robinson was previously a graduate assistant for the Mountaineers during the 2002-2003 season, in addition to coordinating Mount St. Mary's student-athlete support services for all sports in 2006-2007. Prior to that, he served as an assistant coach at St. Mary's College (Md.) for three years from 1999-2002.
Robinson earned his bachelor's degree in political science
from St. Mary's in 2000, and went on to receive a

Alleged Car Thieves Caught in West Caldwell
Pursuit of one alleged thief ends behind an air conditioning unit.
The pursuit of two alleged car thieves started in Fairfield and ended in a search on West Caldwell streets early Tuesday morning.
Police say two people are in custody after they, along with officers from West Caldwell and other surrounding towns, fanned out on Passaic Avenue near Knoll Terrace.
Monique Spencer, 23, of Newark, was found hiding behind an air conditioning unit on Knoll Terrace, and Mustafa Berry, 26, also of Newark, was discovered along a creek near 319 Passaic Avenue by an Essex County K-9 unit, according to Fairfield Police.
Both have been charged with two counts each of receiving stolen property and eluding police.
The incident began just after midnight in Fairfield when Officer Gerald Veneziano spotted a brown Volkswagen Passat which he believed matched the description of a car stolen in West Caldwell on Oct. 10. A similar car was reportedly seen near a Hillside Drive home in Fairfield where a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee was recently taken while left running in the driveway.
Veneziano lost sight of the Passat near Westville Avenue in West Caldwell. The car was later discovered by West Caldwell Police crashed and abandoned on the front lawn of a house on Passaic Avenue.
Police say a woman's purse found in the Passat Tuesday matched a purse that was inside the stolen Jeep.
Spencer and Berry were being held Tuesday afternoon at the Fairfield Police Department awaiting bail and/or being moved to the Essex County Jail. A court date has been set for Oct. 24.
Police also searched unsuccesfully for another pair of car thieves Tuesday morning. A car that was left running near the condominium complex on Bovensierpen Court in Roseland was reported stolen at 7:27 a.m.
9:21 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Shocked to read they were from Newark. Absolutely shocked.
9:21 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Also, love the file photo of the cuffs. Although we all know they won't do very much time at all for their crime(s).
9:33 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Great Job West Caldwell and Fairfield Police. Make that bail high enough they cant get out.
9:40 am on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
Note to all the young women of The Caldwells....do not get a tattoo on your breastbone. It never looks good in a mug shot.
1:12 pm on Wednesday, October 17, 2012
I agreed with you completely but that's what they call racial profiling. Sad, they have the rights but we don't anymore. God Bless this country. We need it! Great jos bugbear police depts. keep up the good work and keep your eyes open. Thanks to all of you.
11:00 pm on Thursday, October 18, 2012
Calling all racists. Report to the Caldwells. Someone with dark skin must not belong here. Must be up to no good. Fess up. You don't know people who don't look like you and you feel threatened.
11:49 am on Saturday, October 20, 2012
Heard they arrested a local WHITE kid from West Caldwell in connection with this case and all of the car thefts and burglaries that have been going on for the past couple of weeks. So much for keeping the "outsiders" who are cauaing the trouble out. Seems like our darling kids are bringing the element in and the ones we need to watch!!!!

Great hotel for quick business stay.
I stayed here after a really long day of work, and the bed was HEAVENLY! The mattress was perfectly soft and supportive and the linens were quality cotton. The shower was also fantastic (nice oversized shower head and space-making curtain). I had a room on the water side and the view of the Bay and city was nice, too.
Overall, it's not a luxury hotel, but it's exceptionally comfortable and 5 minutes from the airport, so that makes it great for quick, overnight business travel.
Recommended. Nice hotel - 3 stars. All staff was verrrry friendly. Food in hotel restaurant was good. Fitness & pool were OK. Room was very small. Smaller than anything I've been in before. Views are good if your on the water side of the hotel.

On Oct. 20, officials from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) interviewed school administrators, school faculty and members of the community to track the progress of the local board of education.
"This was a monitoring visit," said Sorrells. "They didn't really give us any formal feedback the day of the October visit, but we expect a formal response from them within the next week."
The formal response will come in the form of a letter, said Sorells, and should give the board and school district insight on what the October interviews produced.
SACS will visit Polk County again during the spring and will determine to either lift the probationary status of all schools in Polk or pull accreditation.
Last March, SACS conducted the same interview series. From those interviews and other supporting data, SACS determined that the school board was in violation of governing policies and consequently placed all 11 schools in the county on probation.
The probation status went into effect for the 2004-2005 school year and ultimately means that the school board has one year to show their compliance with SAC's policies of government or the school district's accreditation could be lost.
Loss of accreditation for local schools could spell out big problems for graduating seniors, as most colleges in the South use this term of approval as a way to measure the quality of education a student has received.

HAMILTON Nottinghams season was hanging in the balance. S
Shortly after taking a 7-0 lead in yesterdays Central Jersey Group III playoff semifinal, the Northstars allowed Long Branch to march from its 5-yard-line to a first-and-goal at the Nottingham 9 early in the fourth quarter. A touchdown would have given the Green Wave all the momentum after a drive like that.
The Stars needed a hero.
Enter the one-armed man Josh Lajeunesse.
Wave quarterback Avry Griffin took the first-down snap and turned to hand off.
Lajeunesse was already there and blasted a stunned Griffin. The ball rolled backward and a gang pursuit ended with linebacker Ryan Malagrino falling on it at the 35-yard-line.
I really was surprised how fast I got there, said Lajeunesse, who also had six tackles and a sack. On a handoff, that stuff is kind of slow. But with me running full speed and you trying to hand the ball off, I dont think you want that.
Trouble had been averted and Nottingham went on to win, thanks to a guy whose playing status was hazy as late as Tuesday.
Lets put it in perspective, coach Jon Adams said. Josh was playing with one arm today. We didnt get him out on the practice field until Thursday and he was just outstanding today.
Due to a motor that is always running, the junior safety suffered a shoulder injury at practice the day before Thanksgiving.
We put in a pass play for him, Adams said. He dives for ball, and the moment he gets up, his shoulder is hanging.
He made the catch, and he enjoyed that I knew that. But his arm is hanging and I said Dude, what are you doing diving for the ball in practice? We have a huge game coming up.
Lajeunesse said he did what came naturally.
I dove for it out of instinct, he said. I landed right on it and kind of tweaked it a little bit. But Im fine.
Lajeunesse worked extensively with Northstars trainer John Telencio after the original prognosis was at least two weeks.
His teammates thought otherwise.
I wasnt worried, I knew he was gonna play, linebacker McGovern Gabriel said. He had all the heart. He didnt want to give up so he just kept going.
You need a crowbar to get him off the field, defensive coordinator Frank Gatto said. Our trainer did a great job getting him ready. We played him sparingly, we didnt play him every down, but he did a great job when he was in there.
Lajeunesse, who also rushed for 23 yards, said he felt ready to go this past Wednesday.
I went into the trainers office to do my therapy, he said. I started raising my arms and everything felt great. The rotation was fine. A little tweak here and there, but I felt awesome.
Asked what would have happened if he was told not to play, Lajeunesse laughed.
I would have still played, he said. I would have dressed up and went out on the field myself.
With the way he played yesterday, its hard to think anyone on Nottingham could have stopped him.

Video transcript
During my working life it was all rather dehumanising, being stuck in a factory on the Team Valley trading estate for approximately 50 years. Working with noisy and very dangerous machinery as a printer. The very near mention of art and culture in a man's world was sort of frowned upon.
Then when Antony Gormley's sculpture the Angel of the North was erected it changed my life. And it can be seen form the window of my house. And the very day it was erected I can remember the weather, and this gigantic structure there inspired me in a part time course in art and sculpture in Gateshead College at the age of 60.
Then I was lucky to be able to visit Florence and see the architecture and sculpture of Michelangelo first hand. A thing like David, the size of it, the scale of it just blew me away, it was just so incredible. And that was another inspiring thing, you know.
But anyway, the thing about the Angel of the North is because it's so iconic for this region – where it was built, you know it was a pit heap. When I first came to Gateshead there was heavy manufacturing, it was dirty. And its just incredible how in the last 10 years the Angel of the North has created an art and culture scene in the North East that is notorious. And it's amazing.
I'm very, very proud now that my address is in Gateshead. A place that's actually been transformed by the art and culture. And this in turn has given me an opportunity, I have a wonderful uplifting interest in the arts and make many new friendships.
I'm glad you found your inspiration. This stor is inspiring. Posted on 29/07/2010 at 10:21:43
Love this one as well, Ali xxPosted on 10/04/2011 at 01:27:15
Took my kid's last year and in the pouring rain looked around the Angel. I am sure I would not have visited if it were still a Pit Heap! Great Story,Posted on 22/06/2011 at 12:57:47

Man Of Respect
Hate to see my boy go, but it's time to end this tough ride, by a tough guy. I count myself as a huge fan of LT's silky smooth style at RB. You'll be missed bruh. I reflect on all the players that went through an entire pro sports career and no major slip ups, strictly professional on and off the court or field. I tip my hat. At this day and age of tremendous temptation thrown at them from a young age. Speaks of someone in their lives grounding and preparing them to be the person with dignity and respect. Well LT my man you fit the bill. Damn shame you didn't do the thang in the big dance. No problem though,.......I'll be watching your speech five years from now in Canton. Well deserved Big Man. A personal tribute to my guy from humble beginnings. Who never let any of it get in the way of what's really important in life,...... "Self Respect". Good luck LT thanks again for all the memories bro. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family.

LT the second Lawrence Taylor was the first was a great running back and like Barry Sanders or others may have retired a bit early or without a Super Bowl. Also I wish Emmitt Smith had played another year or two and maybe got 20,000 yards in his career. He was only about 1500 short. Great blog and thanks for your comment on my blog Robbo. Talk soon.

I look forward to the Cowboys Steelers game in Dallas on December. Hopefully the Steelers have better luck there than the Super Bowl against the Packers a few years ago. I'm a Steelers fan from Wisconsin and still not over that one! Bratman Or the Cowboys loss in Super Bowl 30 which I regard as the last meaningful Cowboys playoff win since the lasat two were in the first round of the playoffs. Talk soon. Enjoy the season.

Article: Clinical and prognostic implications of β1, 6 N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V in patients with gastric cancer.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aberrant β1, 6-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase V (MGAT5) expressions in malignant tissues have been reported to involve in various cancer development and progression via altering N-glycan branching. We aim to investigate the clinical and prognostic values of MGAT5 and improve the risk stratification in patients with gastric cancer. MGAT5 expression was retrospectively analyzed by immunohistochemistry in three independent sets comprising 313 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma from China. Results were assessed for association with clinical features and overall survival by using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Prognostic values of MGAT5 expression and clinical outcomes were evaluated by Cox regression analysis. A molecular prognostic stratification scheme incorporating MGAT5 expression was determined in patients with late-stage gastric cancer by using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The results show that low intratumoral MGAT5 density, which was associated with poor differentiation, N classification, TNM stage, and Kiel stage, was an independent prognosticator for poor overall survival. Combination of intratumoral MGAT5 expression and TNM or Kiel staging systems had a better predictive power for overall survival. Applying the prognostic value of intratumoral MGAT5 density to TNM stage III+IV and Kiel stage IIIB+IV groups showed a better risk stratification for overall survival in patients with late-stage gastric cancer. In conclusion, integrating intratumoral MGAT5 density that was recognized as an independent prognostic marker into current clinical staging systems significantly improved prognostic stratification of patients with late-stage gastric cancer. This refined risk stratification scheme might aid in appropriate therapeutic options and ultimately improve the outcomes of patients with advanced-stage disease.Cancer Science 10/2012; · 3.33 Impact Factor -
Article: Snail is an independent prognostic predictor for progression and patient survival of gastric cancer.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The present study investigated the clinical significance of Snail, a zinc-finger transcription factor, in the development and progression of gastric cancer. To elucidate the relationship between Snail expression and dedifferentiation status with cancer stem cell phenotype in gastric cancer cells, we used western blot analysis, RT-PCR, quantitative real-time PCR and flow cytometry. Immunohistochemistry staining and evaluation of Snail expression in 10 human normal gastric samples versus 103 clinicopathologically characterized gastric cancer tissues followed by statistical analyses were applied to evaluate the prognostic value of Snail expression for progression and patient survival of gastric carcinomas. The results showed that functional Snail expression interlinks dedifferentiation status with cancer stem cell phenotype in gastric cancer cells. In addition, expression levels of Snail in gastric cancer tissues were significantly associated with tumor cell differentiation, local tumor growth, lymph node status, distant metastasis and tumor stage. The overall survival rate of gastric cancer patients with high Snail expression was significantly lower than for those patients with low Snail expression. Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that Snail expression is an independent prognostic predictor for patient survival of gastric carcinomas. Thus, our data suggest that Snail expression could be a reliable independent prognostic factor to predict gastric carcinoma progression, which might open a new avenue for potential clinical intervention with functional Snail expression in gastric cancer patients.

The REI Member Dividend
The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.
Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.
Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.
Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Garmin eTrex 30 Topo GPS Bundle:
On two different hikes where I knew the distance travelled, this unit was WAY off. I walked about 4.5 miles yesterday and the unit reported I had gone 7.5 miles. On another hike, the actual distance to the turnaround point was 2.44 miles, actual elevation gain 1,722 ft. The unit reported 7 miles and 880 ft gained. Other times, it was dead accurate. Time to take it back to REI.

Comments about Garmin eTrex 30 Topo GPS Bundle:
I ordered this device and paid extra for the topo map package. Upon opening the device I found it to be laggy and the topo maps I paid so much extra for were WAY out of date. There was no free update on the Garmin website. The device was slow and it took a long time to acquire a lock after boot up.
I will just be saving up for a better unit even if it costs me double. This one didn't seem worth it. If your life or outdoor experience depends on this device then save yourself the trouble and take a pass on this unit.

Comments about Garmin eTrex 30 Topo GPS Bundle:
The device was great at first. Only a few problems with getting the device registered, but Garmin support helped sort that mess out. My biggest complaint is the basecamp software. Initially, the extra map packs had a minimal impact on the speed of software in setting way points and what not. Recently, I updated to version 3.3.1 and what a horrible difference. First, it takes forever to get the device to load up. Second, once the device is loaded, I cannot use any map but the simple global one that has no detail. If I try to use a different map... slower than a snail. Thinking it was a bad install, I installed it on my other computer and tried again to no avail. Whatever the programmers changed, they changed for the worse.
Regardless of whether this issue is resolved, I have lost hours of my life fiddling with this thing. That is unacceptable for the amount of money I sacrificed.

Ruff Ruff! My name is Jada
found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Other Pets at Shelter...
Jada's Info...
Breed: | Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)/Pit Bull Terrier Mix | Color: | Black - With White | Age: | Young |
Size: | Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg) | Sex: | Female | ID#: | 17762694 |
Hiya, I'm JADA! I'm so happy to meet you! Let me give you a kiss to show you how happy I am that you stopped by! That's right, the first thing you need to know about me is that I LOVE KISSING! I get so excited to meet people like you. Let me tell you a little bit about me. I'm 3 years old and I weigh about 53 lbs. I lived in a home with kids and adults before, so I'm good with them; and some of the volunteers here think I know to do my bathroom business outside only, too. I have two volunteers called "pen pals" who work with me specially, and they think I'm just a darling, happy little lady.
Here's what I love: PEOPLE!, going for walks, snuggling, baby talk, toys, but most of all—YOU! That's right, I love spending time with people. I really want to get to know you, which is why I try to kiss your face all of the time. My pen pals are working with me on calming me down because I don't want to come across as overwhelmingly friendly. One of my pen pals said that a lower voice and some slow, repetitive stroking on my back does wonders to calm me down. I still love her. She says that this way she can kiss me!
Here's why I'm a great catch: I've lived with kids, I love just about every person I've ever met, I'm over that crazy puppy stage but still a young dog, I'm already spayed (so I can go home with you the same day you meet me!) and did I mention that my pen pals think I'm gorgeous? I'm a dazzling "winter white" with brindle patches, including the striking one over one of my eyes. Maybe it'll help you remember me. Please come meet me in person, and while you are at it, bring the whole family down to make sure we're the perfect match! Please email my pen pals at firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com with any questions or if you would like to meet me!

At the time, I was sorry to see him leave Liverpool FC with his great link-up play among the forwards and goals last season.
But with the ridiculous way he looks nowadays at Chelsea, he can stay there.

Make it happen!
contribute nowCongress wanted to keep raw sewage out of rivers, lakes and bays when it passed the Clean Water Act.
Forty years later, governments and their tax- and fee-paying constituents face a myriad of costs.
When they prioritize those costs, where does wastewater treatment fit in?
EarthFix and the Portland research firm, Davis, Hibbitts & Midghall (DHM Research) wanted to know. So we included questions on the topic in the survey we asked DHM Research to conduct in July.
We asked a statistically representative sampling of 1,200 residents of the Northwest the following questions and these were their responses:
Q: "Would you be willing to pay more for sewer services if it would improve the quality of your local waterways?"
Among those willing to pay more, here's the breakdown of how much more they'd be willing to pay:
Would pay 1% to 5% more: 46%
Would pay 6% to 10% more: 11%
Would pay 11% to 20% more: 2%
Would pay 21% or more: 1%
Q: Here are the some basic types of infrastructure. Knowing that financial resources are limited, what priority should (your state) give to repairing and upgrading each?"
Here's how each of the seven types of infrastructure rated, based on the percentage that considered it an urgent or high priority:
Drinking water systems: 61%
Roads and Bridges: 60%
Wastewater systems: 50%
School buildings: 46%
Electric power grid: 42%
Sewers: 39%
Garbage management: 32%
Next, the poll tested to see if wastewater infrastructure would be a higher priority if people knew more.
Q: "In 2009, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave America's wastewater infrastructure a D-minus grade. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that as a nation we are currently spending $13 billion annually to maintain wastewater system, but that it takes at least $19 billion annually to meet our projected needs.
"Knowing this, how high of a priority do you believe it should be to upgrade (your state's) wastewater infrastructure?"
The percentage that considered wastewater infrastructure an urgent or high priority: 63%
The survey, conducted from July 9-14, involved 1,200 respondents. The findings have a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percent. Click here for a more in-depth look at the results.

Derelict fishing gear
Sixty tons in six years: reducing threats to California marine wildlife through lost fishing gear recovery
California Lost Fishing Gear Recovery Project
The California Lost Fishing Gear Recovery Project is funded by grants made specifically for gear removal in California. It is not supported by funds donated to the SeaDoc Society by individuals. The California project is an example of the kind of cross-pollination and collaboration across political boundaries that are hallmarks of the SeaDoc Society's work: lessons learned in Washington and California are shared with groups working in each area to make gear removal more efficient and more economically feasible.
The SeaDoc Society at the University of California, Davis Wildlife Health Center launched the California Lost Fishing Gear Recovery Project in July 2005 in partnership with the California Ocean Protection Council and State Coastal Conservancy, the Northwest Straits Commission (Mt. Vernon, Washington), and NOAA's Marine Debris Program and Office of Restoration.
This project encourages ocean users to report the presence of lost gear, and hires experienced commercial SCUBA divers to remove gear from near-shore waters in a safe and environmentally sensitive manner.
Since May 2006, the California Lost Fishing Gear Recovery Project has retrieved more than 60 tons of gear from California's coastal ocean, primarily in Southern California, including around the California Channel Islands (Santa Rosa, Santa Cruz, Anacapa and Santa Catalina). [Figures as of November 2012]
As well, the project has cleaned more than 1400 pounds of recreational fishing gear off public fishing piers from Santa Cruz to Imperial Beach including more than 1 million feet of fishing line. Several of these piers now have fishing line recycling bins, to encourage proper disposal of unwanted hooks and microfilament.
And although the debris was not fishing gear, in May 2010 the project removed 650 discarded toilets and automobile tires weighing almost 20 tons from a rocky reef off Pt. Dume, Malibu. This is an area under consideration by the State of California for special designation as a Marine Protected Area in large part because of the large reef it encompasses. SeaDoc and the Department of Fish and Game were keen to restore as much of the reef to more pristine conditions as possible.
Currently, with the support of the California Wildlife Conservation Board and the NOAA Marine Debris Program and mitigation monies transferred from the California Coastal Commission, the California Lost Fishing Gear Recovery Project is continuing to help reduce the potential impact of lost fishing gear on living marine resources and underwater habitat by building upon successes to date to accomplish the following new goals:
- Enhancing the function of and restoring underwater habitat of the designated and proposed Marine Protected Areas in Central and Southern California by focusing gear recovery effort in these MPA networks;
- Retrieving lost fishing gear anywhere on the coast where it is a high priority for removal because of demonstrated or potential impacts to marine wildlife and people, including more work in the Channel Islands Marine Sanctuary and extensive work in the Santa Barbara Channel and off the Los Angeles County coast;
- Working closely with commercial Dungeness crab fishermen on the North Coast to develop a program whereby crab fishermen are conducting the gear work themselves and selling the recovered gear back to their fellow fishermen, work that is made all the more financially feasible through reimbursements of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the recovery work; and
- Increasing the likelihood that ocean users and enthusiasts will know enough about the project and the issue to serve as our "eyes" on and under the water through outreach.

2011 Rockfish Recovery Workshop recap
This past week (June 28 & 29, 2011) SeaDoc co-hosted a Rockfish Recovery Workshop in Seattle with the State Department of Wildlife and NOAA Fisheries.
Nearly 100 scientists, fisheries managers, fishers and SCUBA divers attended the 2-day workshop to discuss the current state of knowledge on rockfish and to identify future needs related to recovering depleted rockfish populations in the Salish Sea.
There are 28 species of rockfish in the Salish Sea. Thirteen (13) are listed as species of concern and recently 3 species were listed under the US Endangered Species Act.
In addition to helping organize the workshop, SeaDoc also helped bring in Canadians to share their perspective on what has and has not worked with rockfish recovery on the other side of the border.
A lot of the research SeaDoc funded over the last 10 years was presented and plans were laid for moving rockfish recovery forward. The meeting proceedings will be published soon and will be available here on the SeaDoc website.
In the meantime, here's a recap:
(Please note that this summary is taken from my notes and if there are errors or misstatements they are mine, not the researchers/presenters! -Joe T.)
Historical Context Session
Wayne Palsson spoke on the biology and assessment of rockfishes in Puget Sound. Rockfishes are a diverse group of species with different life histories. They require various habitat during different life stages. They are adapted for slow growth, long survival, late maturity, low natural mortality rates, and high habitat fidelity. These are all factors that make recovery tough. There's a lack of long-term data that makes it hard to create conventional age-structure population models and biomass dynamic models.
Chris Harvey reviewed the ecological history of rockfish exploitation in Puget Sound. Rockfish bones have been found in middens dating back 1,500 years. Much of the fishing pressure on rockfish began after the Boldt decision in 1974, which required that harvests in Puget Sound be coequally managed by the State government and the Treaty Tribes of Washington. It's also been influenced by demographic trends and by the promotion of the fishery by State government. (Unfortunately, as covered in Wayne Palsson's talk, it wasn't until 1982 that scientists learned that rockfish were generally 2 to 3 times longer lived than they'd thought, which meant the existing population models were not accurate.) By the time management efforts were deemed necessary, the greatest harvests had already occurred.
Anne Beaudreau discussed her work to reconstruct historical trends in rockfish abundance. The lack of data on historical populations of rockfish is a major barrier to developing sustainable fisheries. Beaudreau and colleagues interviewed 101 individuals ranging in age from 24 to 90 years to try to derive trends in the abundance of rockfish from 1940 to the present. Of particular interest was the evidence of "shifting baselines." To a statistically significant degree, each age group of respondents interpreted the conditions at the beginning of their awareness as "abundant" and saw declines from there, but what was "declining" to an older person was "abundant" to a younger person.
Benthic Habitat Surveys/Rockfish Abundance Estimates Session
Gary Greene presented the Salish Sea sea floor mapping project, which has produced bathymetric and habitat maps of the San Juan Islands area. Rockfish prefer particular habitat types, and the multibeam echosounders used by Greene and his colleagues allows these potential habitat areas to be identified. (Other participants were very interested in having these maps for other areas in the Salish Sea.
Bob Pacunski spoke on work to use non-lethal methods to survey rockfish populations. Traditional trawl or long-line sampling results in fish mortality, but using a small remotely-operated vehicle has been shown to be effective at providing population surveys.
Stressors Session
Joan Drinkwin of the Northwest Straits Foundation spoke on the threat posed to rockfish by derelict fishing gear, including both nets and traps. The Northwest Straits Initiative has removed 3,860 nets from Puget Sound, all at less than 105 feet deep. There are 950 shallow-water nets still in the water, and at least 70 in deeper water. Based on studies of net mortality by the SeaDoc Society, approximately 1,600 rockfish per year are captured and killed in derelict nets each year in the United States portion of the Salish Sea.
...More coming soon...
How to Report Derelict Fishing Gear: 855-542-3935
If you see derelict fishing gear such as ghost nets or abandoned crab pots, you can report it by calling 855-542-3935.
You can also report gear you've lost.
This is a new toll-free phone number established by the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife to make it easier for boaters and divers to report derelict gear.
You can also report derelict gear at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/derelict or at the Northwest Straits Conservation Initiative's special website for derelict gear: http://www.derelictgear.org.
Northwest Straits has removed more than 3,800 derelict fishing nets and over 2,000 lost crab pots from Puget Sound since 2002. Over 200,000 animals (fish, birds, marine mammals) were found entangled in the gear.
When reporting lost gear, please indicate the date of sighting, type of gear, approximate water depth, general location, and latitude and longitude if available.
Net Gains: The Economics of Removing Derelict Fishing Gear
Restoring a vast, complex ecosystem like the Salish Sea costs money — that long green stuff with the short future. With politicians and public opinion involved, tough fights often break out over spending on improvements that, to some, appear subjective: Is it worth $100,000 to remove a certain bulkhead or replant a certain eel grass bed? Maybe… And that's where good science can inform great policy.
One of the best examples of science coming to the rescue of a dollar-and-cents conservation issue occurred when the SeaDoc Society recently got caught up in the question of abandoned fishing nets. In partnership with the Northwest Straits Initiative, SeaDoc developed a predictive model that clearly shows the cost of these ghost nets that continue to trap and kill marine life for decades.
Northwest Straits Initiative-funded researchers made multiple dives on derelict nets, counting trapped critters, studying decomposition rates, and determining how much of the dead marine life fell out of the nets as they were recovered (Over 17% of the catch never made it to the surface, showing how critical it is to have underwater scientists on the job). SeaDoc then dove into the data, actually inventing a statistical model to predict each cast-off net's killing capacity.
The results? Abandoned nets catch and kill more than 1,000 invertebrates (mainly crabs), 150 fish, and nearly 80 birds every year, year after year after year – and most of these silent killers have been doing their dirty work since the 1970s. Run that data through the seafood value calculator and it quickly adds up, with each net wasting $19,656 in Dungeness crab alone, every 10 years. The one-time cost to retrieve a derelict net? $1,358. It doesn't take an accountant to do that cost-benefit analysis.
Only through funding from private donors like you was SeaDoc able to do this ground-breaking (and net-cutting) science, which has led to clear policy and, more importantly, vital and measurable improvement in the Salish Sea ecosystem. Thank you.

Marine species mortality in derelict fishing nets in Puget Sound, WA and the cost/benefits of derelict net removal
Derelict Fishing Gear Study
Derelict fishing gear—lost, abandoned or discarded sport and commercial line, nets, traps, etc.—in the marine environment is a significant cause of injury in California coastal marine wildlife. We evaluated data for stranded animals only; our results may underestimate the true number of coastal marine animals injured by lost or discarded fishing gear in California.
Research by SeaDoc Director Kirsten Gilardi and others has studied the medical records from certain wildlife rehabilitation facilities in California to determine the rate and timing of injuries from derelict fishing gear.

The Flaming Lips
BY Scott Feemster
Coming from the background of the do-it-yourself, throw-it-all-in-a-blender underground rock scene of the 1980's, The Flaming Lips have gone on to be not only a long-lived and successful band that does things on their own terms, but have become one of the most influential bands of the last twenty years and also one of the most beloved. Their live shows are known for their mind-bending array of special effects and wackiness, and their albums have become increasingly more heart-felt and musically complex, without losing the psychedelic strangeness that has marked the group their entire career.

In the case of k8temp, the driver claims PCI devices with a certain vendor and device ID. PCI devices are mostly outside the scope of ACPI. There's a standard enumeration protocol, and a driver should be able to claim any device it recognizes without fear of conflict. I claim that an AML method that accesses a PCI device is defective because the AML can't know whether a native driver has claimed the device. Sometimes the firmware can hide PCI devices so the OS enumeration doesn't find them. In that case, AML might be able to safely use the PCI device, but the native driver wouldn't be able to claim the device, so there would be no conflict. (Linux sometimes uses quirks to "unhide" things like this, which could lead to a conflict of our own making.) I suspect that other sensor drivers may just probe for devices at "known" addresses hard-coded in the driver. This is a problem because the ACPI model is that the OS learns about all built-in devices via the ACPI namespace. If it isn't in the namespace, it shouldn't exist as far as the OS is concerned. So we could easily have the situation where ACPI uses a sensor and does not expose it to the OS in the namespace. In that case, the firmware expectation is that the OS won't touch the device. If the OS pokes around at the magic addresses and happens to trip over the device, we just made ourselves a problem. If ACPI accesses sensors but there is no native driver, there should be no conflict. I'd be surprised if Windows provided interfaces to coordinate between two drivers. My impression is that they really want to have a single owner for a piece of hardware. It would be interesting to figure out how these monitoring utilities work. Maybe the monitor and the AML both go through an embedded controller driver and coordinate that way? Bjorn -

Results from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's year-long study comparing students using the publisher's iPad algebra app are in from Amelia Earhart school in Riverside, Calif., and it's largely positive, according to the company.
The study showed that 78 percent of students who used the HMH algebra iPad app scored "proficient" or "advanced" on the California Standards Test, compared to 59 percent of students who used the textbook version. "As students were randomly assigFuse, the results indicated that use of the app was the chief cause behind the improvement in student test scores," the report states. Continue reading

Publicity and image rights
Canada - Bereskin & Parr LLP
In Canada, personality rights enjoy common
law and statutory protection, stemming
from an individual's publicity rights (which
are proprietary in nature) and the right to
privacy (a personal interest). In terms of
common law protection, the tort of
misappropriation of personality is available
to individuals (outside Quebec) who have
suffered economic injury as a result of the
violation of their publicity rights.
Legislation on image rights is becoming increasingly necessary. With the rapid development of China's
market economy and the emergence of new
forms of marketing models, there is a
growing interest in new forms of property
rights – image rights – to deal with the
growing commercial value of celebrities'
fame and identity.
The need for the Indian legislature to recognise publicity and image rights in a statutory manner has never been greater. Celebrities increasingly seek to protect their
publicity and image rights due to the rising
commercial value of their fame and
Those wishing to protect their image or name need to navigate trademark law, issues surrounding freedom of expression, the Privacy Protection Law and Unjust Enrichment Law.
Italian law provides strong protection for personal names and portraits as trademarks. The relationship between image protection and trademarks is defined by the few articles in the Industrial Property Code that deal specifically with images and personal names in relation to trademarks.
A number of legal protections are available for the protection of publicity and image rights.
While national jurisprudence defends the nature of the image right as a personality right with important patrimonial value, economic exploitation can arise from the broad scope for negotiation in comparison to other personality rights.
The forthcoming Civil Code will dramatically impact on image rights protection. The protection of image rights was first
acknowledged in Romania in the 1991
Constitution, but only as a general and
indirect principle (as a limit to the freedom
of expression).
Although publicity and image rights might
appear to have most in common with
copyright, of all IP rights, this is not in fact the
case. Copyright concerns property, whereas
publicity rights concern privacy.
The use of images may or may not be
commercial – commercial use comes to mind
when the image of a famous person is used.
Image rights are fundamental rights enshrined in the Spanish Constitution, yet a number of factors hamper effective judicial protection.

Commercial Paper
Definition of 'Commercial Paper'An unsecured, short-term debt instrument issued by a corporation, typically for the financing of accounts receivable, inventories and meeting short-term liabilities. Maturities on commercial paper rarely range any longer than 270 days. The debt is usually issued at a discount, reflecting prevailing market interest rates. |
Investopedia explains 'Commercial Paper'Commercial paper is not usually backed by any form of collateral, so only firms with high-quality debt ratings will easily find buyers without having to offer a substantial discount (higher cost) for the debt issue.A major benefit of commercial paper is that it does not need to be registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as long as it matures before nine months (270 days), making it a very cost-effective means of financing. The proceeds from this type of financing can only be used on current assets (inventories) and are not allowed to be used on fixed assets, such as a new plant, without SEC involvement. |

Mississippi toddler cured of HIV: Gives doctors new hopes of eradicating AIDS
Two-and-a-half year old child cured of HIV after one year of no medication
The news is very exciting in a world where AIDS and HIV devastates much of Africa and parts of Asia. Doctors at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Atlanta have reported success of curing a two-and-a-half year old child with HIV. The child has repeatedly tested negative for the virus that causes AIDS after a year without medication.
In sub-Saharan Africa, however, around 387,500 children aged 14 and under were receiving antiretroviral therapy in 2010. Many were born with the infection. Nearly two million more children of the same age in the region are in need of the drugs.
It's not yet known why the treatment was effective. The surprise success has raised hopes that the therapy might ultimately help doctors eradicate the virus among newborns.
"Now, after at least one year of taking no medicine, this child's blood remains free of virus even on the most sensitive tests available," Dr. Hannah Gay, who cared for the child at the University of Mississippi medical center said. Gay added that a patient is functionally cured of HIV when standard tests are negative for the virus. She noted that it is likely that a tiny amount remains in their body.
"We expect that this baby has great chances for a long, healthy life. We are certainly hoping that this approach could lead to the same outcome in many other high-risk babies," she added.
Women with HIV are given antiretroviral drugs during pregnancy to minimize the amount of virus in their blood. Their newborns go on courses of drugs too, to reduce their risk of infection further. The strategy can stop around 98 percent of HIV transmission from mother to child. The number of babies born with HIV in developed countries has fallen dramatically overt he past several years.
In both the U.K. and Ireland, around 1,200 children are living with HIV they picked up in the womb, during birth, or while being breastfed. If an infected mother's placenta is healthy, the virus tends not to cross into the child earlier in pregnancy. The virus can be transferred in labor and delivery.
In sub-Saharan Africa, however, around 387,500 children aged 14 and under were receiving antiretroviral therapy in 2010. Many were born with the infection. Nearly two million more children of the same age in the region are in need of the drugs.
In the Mississippi case, the mother was unaware she had HIV until after a standard test came back positive while she was in labor. "She was too near delivery to give even the dose of medicine that we routinely use in labor. So the baby's risk of infection was significantly higher than we usually see," Gay said.
Doctors began treating the baby aggressively 30 hours after birth. The doctor opted for the more aggressive treatment because the mother had not received any during her pregnancy.
Several days later, blood drawn from the baby before treatment started showed the child was infected, probably shortly before birth. The doctors continued with the drugs and expected the child to take them for life.
However - after a month of starting therapy, the level of HIV in the baby's blood had fallen so low that routine lab tests failed to detect it.
The mother and child stopped taking their regularly scheduled medical appointments. The child had no medication from the age of 18 months, and did not see doctors again until it was nearly two years old.
"We did not see this child at all for a period of about five months," Gay said. "When they did return to care aged 23 months, I fully expected that the baby would have a high viral load . All of the tests came back negative, very much to my surprise," she said.

Jim DeMint conducts his own VP search
South Carolina Republican Sen. Jim DeMint, who has built a political brand for himself in recent years by searching out conservative GOP Senate candidates, is now sticking his nose in the GOP vice presidential search.
DeMint's Senate Conservatives Fund is hosting a poll on its website asking supporters who they would like to see as the party's No. 2 on the ticket this fall, using The Fix's list of the 10 frontrunners in the so-called "veepstakes."
And at least so far, the results aren't close.
With 3,000 votes (and counting) in, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is the clear leader with more than 40 percent of the vote, and Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) is second with 23 percent, according to results provided to The Fix.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal is the only other candidate among the 10 to crack double digits, taking 10 percent of the vote. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie — a favorite of many pundits for the slot — is at 7 percent.
Sens. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and John Thune (R-S.D.), meanwhile, are both at less than 2 percent — perhaps a signal that they're not lighting any fires in the conservative community or at least not yet.
The poll, of course, is not scientific, and the results should be taken with a healthy grain of salt. But the conservative fervor for Rubio and Ryan is certainly notable as Mitt Romney begins his vice presidential search (he tapped longtime aide Beth Myers to lead the effort on Monday).
With his Senate endorsments, DeMint has often chosen insurgent candidates running against safer and often less-conservative choices of the establishment. One of these candidates last cycle was Rubio.
And if DeMint tries to steer Romney toward a conservative favorite candidate like Rubio or Ryan rather than a safer pick like Portman or Thune, it's not unreasonable to think he could have some impact.
DeMint spokesman Matt Hoskins did not say whether DeMint would be actively involved in the GOP's VP search going forward.
But given that the race for the Senate is so close and the chamber could wind up in a 50-50 tie after the 2012 election (or even 51-49 or 52-48 in favor of one party or the other), the vice president could play a role in breaking ties in the Senate. And that's certainly something DeMint cares about.
Below are the full results so far:
1. Rubio: 40 percent
2. Ryan: 23 percent
3. Jindal: 10 percent
4. Christie: 7 percent
5. New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez: 5.5 percent
6. Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels: 5 percent
7. Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell: 3 percent
8. Former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty: 2 percent
9. Thune: 2 percent
10. Portman: 1 percent
