Making Aquaculture Green
You're an Ocean Doctor!
During our long road trip to the university where my daughter would soon begin her first year, I was recounting that same period of my life and the fact that my parents had really wanted me to be a doctor….an M.D., that is. I hated to disappoint them, but I tried to explain that I wanted to pursue my true passion, marine biology.They were troubled that I'd never be able to make a "real" career out of this passing fancy, but 30 years later, I suppose I have. My daughter chimed in, "But you are a doctor. You're an ocean doctor!" Funny, but I had never thought of it that way. Yet I have spent much of my career studying and diagnosing what ails the oceans and advocating policies to heal them. So I looked at her and said, "I like that. I think I might use that some day." So, here it is — please accept my warmest welcome to OceanDoctor's blog, dedicated to the wonder of the oceans, being true to your dreams, and, of course, my daughter.
Next-Generation Aquaculture: The Future of Fishing on Planet Earth

After being nearly ignored for decades, marine conservation issues are increasingly at the forefront of the environmental agenda today, thanks in large part to the report of the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy and subsequent U.S. Ocean Action Plan as well as the results of the independent Pew Oceans Commission, and current actions of the Joint Ocean Commission Initiative. The similarity of the findings of these efforts has been striking, recognizing that urgent steps are required to restore marine ecosystems. Among the most serious problems cited is overfishing and the recognition that U.S. fisheries are increasingly unsustainable and many populations will take decades to recover.
Of course, this trend is not limited to the U.S. and global overfishing is viewed as one of the principal causes of the loss of integrity of marine ecosystems and is considered a major factor in the decline of coral reef communities. [Read more...]

Does anyone know of an original science fair project?
My 14 year old son has wanted to become a scientist since before I can remember. An opportunity has come up for him to enter into a science fair but I need some ideas.
It would be the first science fair he has entered into so it doesn't matter if he wins or not, just the participation I believe would be a good experience for him.
There is no better place to ask than the TED community, all ideas would really be appreciated.

Comments about DigiTech Bad Monkey Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal:
Tried out several distortion/overdrive boxes, for the price, this one I felt was the best deal.
Has a lot of control knobs, so it gets a lot of different levels of overdrive. I don't care for a ton of distortion, and this one goes beyond what I prefer, yet on the other side it does go from heavy to subtle, and depending on what I'm playing, it covers all the bases for me. It's fairly quite as far as overdrive boxes are. I didnt get much "hiss" or "buzz" until I got up to "8" on the gain and level. Has a high and low for the tone controls and two outputs, for the amp and mixer. It's built like a tank with a heavy duty spring under the pedal. With the right adjustments I get a thick rich tube sound with both my solid state and tube amps. The color and name "BAD MONKEY" give it that "cool" factor, lol.
The way you change the battery is clever and seems plenty sturdy. I do believe this is a true bypass, I didn't notice any change in my sound when the box is off. Distortion and Overdrive boxes can be subjectively rated, It all depends on your own personnel tastes. For me this one was the ticket, and at a very reasonable price. It is not an over the top distortion box, but a true tube overdrive unit that can get pretty raunchy. I usually prefer MXR type of stomp boxes because of thier simplicity and great sounds. But this one gave me more options and a lot of great sounds. All I can say is try it out for yourself, you may fall in love with it or hate it, or just go "ho hum". I tried a lot of these, and this one did the job very well, and at a price that didn't break the bank.
Comments about DigiTech Bad Monkey Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal:
"This pedal is perfect for a lot of different things. I was also surprized at the wide range of different tones its capeable. If you're looking for mega distortion, go with the DigiTech GRUNGE pedal, but if your looking for it's slightly more mature older brother, you have found it here. The bad monkey is sweet. Period. Its also good in combo w/ my Marshall amp's overdirve. This baby also is great for acoustic-electric guitars. Add a Delay and your rockin just like an electric. GREAT PEDAL!"

All Digitech mutiprocessors--RP and GNX units-- the Whammy, and the JamMan, have a one year warranty from the manufacturer. All X-Series pedals and analog distortions(Bad Monkey, etc.)have a one year warranty, but if the new owner registers online at digitech.com, the warranty goes to 5 years on the X-Series and analog distortions only.

Doctor Who "The Doctor's Wife" Suranne Jones & Neil Gaiman Interviews - SFX
Does Doctor Who demand a particular acting style?
"I've been told I was good at shakey-shakey acting. And I didn't know I was doing shakey-shakey acting. Matt was particularly impressed with my shakey-shakey. He was like, 'Yeah, man, that's really good!' Karen's really good at windy-windy acting. There's lots of wind involved in Doctor Who, isn't there? Lots of things happen and they put a wind machine on you. All the scary stuff is like second nature to them. I think you've got to be fearless. If it's greenscreen and you can't actually see what you're acting with, or you're imagining that you're being chased, to be fearless is the best thing, because if you do it half-hearted, then it just looks a bit wet."

Why is there an old picture here of me with a frog and a badger? Well, the picture is a geocaching photo taken a few years ago. The badger is because I like badgers. I also just wanted to get your attention before I rave about how great the Badger Company is!
It is no secret that I love products from the Badger Company. They put out a great catalog of natural products, all with cute badgers on them. In fact, I first came across the company when looking for something else that was badger related. It also is no secret that their large Badger Cocoa Butter Lip Balms are one of my all time favorite lip products. Recently I got a change to try their regular size, classic lip balms, and I adore those as well.
The classic balms are USDA certified organic with the following base ingredients: Base Ingredients: Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Natural Golden Yellow Beeswax, Castor Bean Oil and extracts of Organic Aloe Vera, Rose Hip, and Organic Seabuckthorn Berry. There are seven lovely flavors, including two new ones if you had seen these before when there were only five.
The balms provide good, light moisture, and taste great. My favorites are the new pink grapefruit and the ginger lemon flavors. Also, besides just being darn good lip balms, they come in cute tubes with a badger on them!
By the way, the company itself is quite fun, with a friendly and informative website. If you like salves, be sure to also look at their various tins of skin balms (Read Beauty and Fashion Tech Review).
I have bought Badger products at my local Ulta store. They are also available at many natural foods stores and various online sources, including through the company website links above.

TUESDAY, Oct. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Brintellix (vortioxetine) has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat adults with major depressive disorder, often referred to as depression.
The disorder may have symptoms including lack of interest in usual activities, weight or appetite changes, sleep problems, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, lack of concentration and thoughts of suicide.
In seven clinical studies, Brintellix proved effective in treating depression and in preventing future episodes, the FDA said in a news release. The most common side effects observed included nausea, constipation and vomiting.
Brintellix has a boxed label warning that antidepressants can raise the risk of suicidal thoughts among some users, especially among children, adolescents and adults aged 18 to 24. Doctors should carefully monitor users of Brintellix and similar drugs, especially during initial treatment, the FDA advised.
Brintellix is marketed by Takeda Pharmaceuticals and Lundbeck, both based in Deerfield, Ill.

March 19, 2013, 6:33 PM — Facebook's News Feed is a popular landing page for photos and updates from friends, but now it can also function as a digital storefront of sorts, through a partnership with e-commerce startup Chirpify.
People on the social network can now make purchases without leaving the site by commenting on listings from brands and merchants that appear in the News Feed.
The one-step checkout process is designed to provide "frictionless commerce," according to Chirpify, which is based in Portland, Oregon. Adidas, the Portland Trailblazers, the bands Owl City and Neon Trees, and the record label Victory Records are some of the service's initial partners. The company also supports person-to-person payments and donations to nonprofits and political campaigns.
Here's how it works: Consumers or businesses first must create an account with Chirpify using a major credit card or PayPal. It's free to join and use, but Chirpify takes a 5 percent fee from the merchant for each transaction.
Consumers will only see product listings or offers from groups that they already have liked, or that friends have shared with them.
Then, when Chirpify consumer members want to buy something, donate a set amount of money or enter a giveaway on Facebook, all they have to do is comment to the News Feed listing with the word "buy," "donate" or "gimme."
Brands can list both digital and physical items for sale using the platform. A secure download of content, or a receipt for a product, is sent via email after each purchase. Promotional codes, giveaway drawings and integration into merchants' existing e-commerce platforms are also built into Chirpify.
The social commerce platform is not based on a formal partnership between Facebook and Chirpify, though the social network "is supportive of what we are doing," said Sarah Schroeder, Chirpify's account manager. Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Facebook already offers its own integrated e-commerce platform, called Gifts.
Chirpify's services have been available to Twitter and Instagram users for the past year, but its expansion to Facebook makes it the only in-stream, social commerce platform enabling businesses to list and distribute their products across the three major social media sites, said Chirpify CEO Chris Teso.
There are other players in the growing e-commerce space within social networks. American Express, for example, launched a new service last month specifically on Twitter to let card holders make purchases through tweets.

If this photo isn't the definition of powerblading, I don't know what is. It's like there is a damn streak of lighting passing through them or out of them. So epic, gotta love film.
I'm not gonna lie the new lights look pretty steezy, I hope they sell skins cause my denims are looking pretty haggard. I also hope they put out more little edits like this, I could watch B. Smith blade forever.

PULLMAN, Wash. -- Dozens of people packed a gun control debate on the Washington State University campus on Tuesday afternoon. The debate was held at the Thomas S. Foley Institute in Pullman.
The panel included Robin Ball and Daniel Byrne. Ball is a National Rifle Association election volunteer coordinator for the 5th Congressional District in Washington. Byrne is the voluntary spokesperson for the nonprofit organization Washington CeaseFire.
The discussion centered on proposed gun legislation including universal background checks for gun owners. Byrne said that 65% of Americans believe that gun sales include universal background checks.
"The trick part will be the mental side of it and figuring out how to couple the mental health system into the back ground check," said Byrne.
Sixty percent of private gun transactions already require background checks according to Byrne. He said the biggest sticking point for Americans is over which types of ammunition should be made available.
Washington law bans firearms, explosives, and dangerous chemicals on university property.
However, the issues of guns on campus has again risen to national prominence as state and federal officials look for ways to balance Constitutional rights with concerns about shootings at public schools and colleges.

There's not much that's "green" about putting the stuffing from pet toys out for the birds to use in their nests. In most toys, it's a non-biodegradable fiber that will be in the environment for a very long time.
I have a wire mesh basket hanging from a tree outside. During nesting season, I fill it with the combings from my long-haired mutt. They disappear quickly.

It's hard to find a problem with anything that has the Craftsman name. These blades are sharp, durable and long-lasting. They fit perfectly into the Craftsman midget knife and hold their sharp edge for a surprisingly long time.

Crews continue to clean-up the northeast side of downtown Minneapolis after a large water main break Thursday afternoon flooded Hennepin Avenue from the Hennepin bridge to Washington Avenue.
ROAD CLOSURESThe Hennepin Avenue bridge reopened at 9 a.m. Friday, and as of 9:30 a.m. all streets downtown were open except:
Crews were focusing on opening Hennepin Avenue as soon as possible.
Several bus routes in downtown Minneapolis were on detour: Routes 4, 6, 7, 11, 61, 141, 667, 668, 671, 672 and 674 (as of 4:30 a.m. Friday)WHAT HAPPENED
The break happened around 2:30 p.m. at Hennepin Avenue and 2nd Street. Private contractors were working on a development project when they hit and ruptured a 36-inch water main.
14 million gallons of water spilled from the broken water main, flooding streets and the downtown post office parking ramp.
Much of the water froze, creating ice on streets and sidewalks. Hennepin Avenue was clear of standing water Friday morning, but crews were still salting icy roads and sidewalks in the area.
About a half-dozen buildings near the break still don't have water, but crews worked through the night to clean up the mess.

10 stocks to be thankful for this Thanksgiving
Here are some of the top-performing large caps for the year.
By Tim Parker
Most Thanksgiving get-togethers include the classic question: "What are you thankful for?"
If you're an investor and you've held any of these stocks since the beginning of the year, while others talk about health and happiness, you might mention your portfolio.
Here are a few of the top-performing large-cap stocks of 2013:
Icahn Enterprises (IEP)
You know this company as the firm ran by billionaire investor Carl Icahn. Love him or hate him, you can't argue with his results. Icahn Enterprises is up 143 percent year to date.
Micron Technology (MU)
If you're a fan of CNBC's "Fast Money," you've seen TV personality Regis Philbin talk of his allegiance to this stock and for good reason. Micron is up 258 percent this year. This $10 billion company manufactures and markets semiconductor components including memory chips.
Netflix (NFLX)
Remember 2012 when Netflix was left for dead? If you picked it up in August of 2012, you're up about 400 percent but this year alone the stock is up 286 percent. (One of those value investors that bought when the stock was cheap was Carl Icahn.)
TripAdvisor (TRIP)
Some stocks fly under the radar posting big gains while few people notice. TripAdvisor is up 99 percent year to date. A competitor to Yelp (YELP), the company's stock is currently in a basing pattern that could lead to even more gains as the stock takes a pause.
Best Buy (BBY)
Yes, you read that right. An example of a retailer decimated by online retailers like Amazon (AMZN), Best Buy was considered the next Barnes and Noble (BKS) -- a dinosaur that was sure to close its doors any day. Instead, the company reinvented itself, including a price-match policy with that led to gains of 235 percent.
Tesla (TSLA)
Tesla was up more than 400 percent this year before investors began taking profits in the name. Currently, it's up 240 percent -- still quite impressive for a startup electric car maker.
Delta Air Lines (DAL)
Never buy an airline stock unless you're trying to lose money. That was the prevailing wisdom for years but airline stocks took off this year. Delta printed gains of 138 percent. Others like Southwest (LUV) are up 77 percent and US Airways (LCC), 70 percent.
Boston Scientific (BSX)
Some areas of health care had a banner year as well. Boston Scientific logged gains of 100 percent while Celgene (CELG) and Gilead Sciences (GILD) are up triple digits.
Disclosure: At the time of this writing, Tim Parker had no position in the companies mentioned.

Blankfein, Buffett Bring '10,000 Small Businesses' Initiative to Detroit
An article like this is really hindsight: doesn't really help everyone who didn't own these over the last year. The people who have owned them already know they've done well. Keep a balanced, diversified portfolio, and pretty much stick with it, not trying to chase the hot stock (because probably by the time you would get in, it's already had the big runn-up).
Two seconds later-- Grandma moves you off the kiddie table and out to the dog house. America is DONE with greedy grubbers. Everyone but YOU knows that QE = higher taxes to pay for it. Better to NOT have QE and YOU get a REAL job.

NGLTF: Stop Scapegoating Gay Priests; Catholic Cover-Up 'Appalling'
The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force today released the following statement about the ongoing controversy on the sexual abuse of children, including that by Roman Catholic priests.
The following statement is attributable to Lorri L. Jean, executive director of NGLTF.
"The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force deplores all sexual abuse of children, including that by Roman Catholic priests. Children who have been victimized deserve a swift, appropriate and supportive response, and steps must be taken by impacted institutions to protect children from further abuse. We urge the Catholic Church to respond appropriately and immediately to put the interests of children first.
"The system-wide cover-up by the Roman Catholic hierarchy is appalling, as are efforts to shift attention from the true nature of this child sexual abuse scandal by scapegoating homosexuality and gay priests. Homosexuality is not the problem. Child abuse is the problem. It is well established that more than 95 percent of the perpetrators of child sexual abuse are heterosexual men. Child sexual abuse by anyone is wrong.
"Catholics across this country are challenging the doctrine of the Catholic Church in many ways, including how it pertains to homosexuality, divorce, celibacy and the priesthood, birth control, the right to choose and the ordination of women. We encourage the hierarchy of the Catholic Church in the U.S. and the Vatican to examine all of these issues and to end outdated, discriminatory and oppressive policies."
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

What do you think the world will be like in the year 3012?
History has taught us to never underestimate the abilities of the human mind. There has been many advancements in science that has cleared up questions about our universe. Advancements that have led to cures of many diseases. Advancements that have helped us cope with severve weather conditions.
People have also made leaps with the way they interact socially. Gays are being supported for marraige. Governments have risen and fallen. And people are still fighting for proper citizen rights.
What future do you see?
Do you think we will find life on other planets?
Do you think there will be changes in our currencies?
How will our ways of transportation change?

May 24 2012: We are on the brink of extraordinary times for sure. The question is: What can change the nature of a human being? I dont think that humanity made leaps with the way they interact socially... especially with homosexuality: We had already cultures with an accepted "same-sex-love-culture" (Japan or China for example). I dont think that technology is able to change humans - instinct tells the bees, which flower to pollinate and humans how to behave badly :)
My grandma was born 1900 and grown up with horses on the street. 70 years later she sat in front of a TV and watching men flying to the moon. From horses to spaceships in a lifetime, thats quite a jump. Did all the technology development influence her nature? No, still the same grumpy woman all her life. We are using cellphones and computers to communicate today, but we gossip about our neighbours like the ancient greeks 3000 years ago. And it wont change in 1000 years for sure, except: Genetic engineering... that is an unknow force, which can change and shape humanity forever. I have a bad feeling about this.
May 28 2012: Are our emotions or the ability to communicate and interact with other humans tied to genetics? Free will and self-awareness? We dont grasp the whole picture between those dependencies and even if we have this knowledge... knowledge is not equal wisdom. Big difference.
The worst case scenario: Humanity will still have the astonishing lack of wisdom like today. If we could remove jealousy via genetic engineering... ah, very tempting. Crime? Society is better without criminals, right? Some fools will decide to get rid of certain emotions and bad behaviour for sure.
But the ability to break rules and ignore social norms is important (french revolution, Galileo Galilei for example) and jealousy, passion, hate, love, anger, hope... think about all the great art, books, screenplays and culture without it.

Guild Wars 2 review
[Continued] Page 2
Enter crafting, which is an entirely different beast altogether. Everything from cooking, to making armor, weapons, jewelry and accessories — you can take up two professions that you can level up 400 separate levels. The best part is that each new thing created (given it's not grayed out) will add experience to your level as well, allowing you to level up through crafting alone!
Crafting isn't predicated by recipes only; a lot of it has to do through discovering recipes yourself, through experimentation. Putting various items together will yield different results, and if the recipe is successful, it will also give you a huge boost to your crafting and character level. To say crafting is absolutely worth it is an understatement.
The map is huge and the environments are varied. Both big pluses
The PVE portion is heavily tied to exploration. As you quest through the various areas of Tyria, each map has a certain amount of Tasks, Waypoints (which allow you to quickly teleport long distances), Vistas, Points of Interest, and Skill Challenges. Finding and completing these is easily half the fun of Guild Wars 2. Vistas and Skill Challenges are especially fun, as they aren't always straight forward. Vistas almost always require some form of platforming to reach, as they're nested atop a high platform, and Skill Challenges task players with taking down powerful enemies. The feeling you get for getting 100% area completion is always extremely satisfying, not to mention you get some great items and a bunch of XP.
The thing that ties together this constant "just one more thing to do" mentality is the Achievement system. There are achievements for everything you do in the game — kill 500 of these, craft a certain number of these, complete story quests, etc. Though the two that will have you obsessively coming back every day are the daily and monthly achievements, which always net you a good amount of XP and rewards. Achievements might not be new to the MMO genre, but ArenaNet sure did a great job with making them feel absolutely necessary.
Tequatl the Sunless is a level 65 world boss. Hint: You're going to need a lot of people to take him down
So you're thinking, what happens at level 80? I'm happy to say that besides allowing you to access higher level areas, levels are almost inconsequential. Let me clarify. Let's say you get to level 60, only exploring the lands tied to your race, and you want to venture to another race's starting area, your level will then be scaled to match that area's level. I know it sounds strange in theory, but in practice, it's completely genius. Not only does it allow you to experience the entirety of the game without one-shotting everything you come across, it also allows you to help lower level friends without making it extremely easy, in turn ruining their experience.
That brings me to combat. ArenaNet did a great job with the combat mechanics. It's fast, aggressive, and feels more action-packed than other hotkey reliant MMOs. It's no TERA, but it still manages to keep you on your toes, actively dodge, and retaliate with some great looking attacks. Two or more players can even form combo attacks, such as dropping down a fire AoE attack that imbues the Ranger's arrows as it passes through. It allows for experimentation with what classes work wonders together to maximize damage. Lose all your hit points and you'll have a chance to resurrect by killing an enemy, much like Borderlands' mechanic. If you're down for good, you still have the option to be resurrected by another player.
Burn baby, burn!
So where do you take all of this battle proficiency? You have two choices — structured PVP, which pits two teams against each other in various maps in control of certain points, or the epic World vs. World event, which has literally hundreds of players fighting from your server and two other servers.
Let's talk about World vs. World, since it's a more integrated experience, unlike Structured. What I mean by this is that you take your armor and skills to a giant map where each server gets their own island, with a fourth island housing the largest keep and has all three servers duking it out for control of it.
Taking down other players is both satisfying and rewarding
World vs. World can definitely be daunting at first. Whether it's taking over encampments, collecting supplies, sieging castles, protecting or taking down supply caravans and killing other players, there is a ton to do, and it's all brutally fun. You can participate in WvW as soon as you hit level 10, and doing so will immediately ascend you to level 80. Sure you might not have the greatest gear fitted to survive, but you can still contribute. The key to having the most fun is to queue up with friends or guild members. You can find other groups to join, but it's much more enjoyable to roam the islands with a group of guildies.
Structured PVP is almost like a completely separate game, as it gives you completely different gear and has you accumulating separate XP. Whatever you attain in Structured PVP remains there. Finding loot that isn't for your class isn't a big deal either, as you can store these items in your communal locker and have other characters on your account use them. As the name implies, it's less chaotic, and more... well, structured. Much like WvW, I found that solo-queueing into a match wasn't nearly as fun as queueing up with multiple people from your guild, especially since you already know one another's playstyle, and therefore, work together better when capturing points.

Paso del Norte alive and well in Blaine
Miguel Ramos' brightly colored Mexican restaurant Paso del Norte on Second Street has been a Blaine fixture since he and his wife Aydee opened 11 years ago last August.
Earlier this month they tripled their space by moving into what was once Art Lawrenson's Café International at 758 Peace Portal Drive. Sharp-eyed locals noticed the building morph from white into the same burnt sienna color that was a theme at Ramos' old place.
Inside, the nearly 6,000 square feet of interior space is broken up into a labyrinth of walls, arches, small alcoves and broad spaces plus a banquet room that can seat up to 50 people.
The couple, who hails from a small town near Guadalajara, east of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, also doubled their staff once they were into the new space. "It's better," Ramos said, "because there's more room to work, and the customers seem pretty happy with it, too."
Ramos and his family and friends worked for several weeks to get the place ready, including painting the interior several times over to enhance the murals of southwestern scenes.
The new bar is dominated by a huge plasma TV screen and will host live music every Friday with local bands such as Crystal Tricycle and Silver City.
Paso del Norte is famous for its fajita dishes, and a chicken dish Ramos called Pollo Cazuela. "I came up with that and people liked it," Ramos said, "and they wanted to know what it was called, so that's the name I gave it."
Paso del Norte is opens at 11 a.m. seven days a week, and closes at 9:30 p.m. on weekdays and 10:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. For more information call them at 332-4045.

Semiahmoo museum needs a new volunteer coordinator
time for the Semiahmoo museum to open for the season, but
Drayton Harbor Maritime (DHM) is without a museum coordinator
to get the job done. We had hoped to have it open
by memorial day but our volunteer coordinator had to leave
unexpectedly and the museum cant open.
Whatcom county owns the museum on Semiahmoo spit which reopened last year staffed by DHM volunteers.
The group is looking for someone to coordinate a schedule for the 30 volunteers. Hopefully someone will come forward and give us a couple of hours a week, Sturgill said. The museum is usually open four hours a day on weekends from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
Sturgill put out the call for a new volunteer coordinator at the DHM annual meeting at the Blaine boating center June 4. In addition to discussing association business, the group was treated to war stories and pictures to match from local resident and wartime filmmaker Norm Jensen.
In 1942 Jensen went from helping his uncle buy and pack fish aboard the Cutty Sark to active duty as a navy submariner. In 39 months of active duty he patrolled the South Pacific on the Queen Fish and the Cod, hunting down boats bringing war supplies to Japan.
We did get shot at and we did shoot back, he told his audience. They didnt last long. Crews of sampans that held cargo that could help the Japanese war effort were put adrift in their skiffs and the boats destroyed. We were doing everything we could to starve the Japanese out, Jensen said.
Jensen had an unusual role on board, documenting the war effort on film. His voluminous footage has been used in several war documentaries. Ive seen his films on the Discovery Channel, said Sturgill. Combat footage by Norm Jensen..

It's as inevitable as a crime in Gotham – eventually, there will be another Batman film. The Caped Crusader netted just over $1 billion in profits from his last film and it would be practically felonious if Warner Brothers didn't milk this cash cowl for another trilogy (or two), right?
With the recent announcement of the Batman/Superman team up film, potentially titled Batman vs. Superman, and a guaranteed appearance in the upcoming Justice League film, a wave of fresh faces would be ideal too. Although Catwoman and the Joker are Batman's rogue gallery breadwinners, the Arkham Asylum and Arkham City games proved that mainstream audiences could stand watching a nefarious scheme being hatched by another villain.
As well, the comics are also home to other heroes and civilians who would work well in a cinematic storyline and simultaneously immerse viewers deeper into the DC universe. Just to name a few, here are five characters who could be destroying or saving Gotham in the future.

5. Clayface (Basil Karlo)
Across Batman continuity, there have been various Clayfaces terrorizing Gotham. A fan favourite is Basil Karlo, known for his appearances in Batman The Animated Series and the Arkham games. As a failed actor driven to insanity, identity is the strongest theme Clayface brings to the table.
With his ability, Clayface can literally be anyone. An enemy who can infiltrate anywhere Bruce is would add a suspenseful, alienating twist, which would have audiences guessing who was trustworthy and who wasn't. If handled well, Clayface's grotesque features morphing into people Bruce trusts can potentially turn Gotham into a city of antisocial strangers.
Clayface's splintering idea of self is something that can be related to Bruce, although the compulsion to be the Bat over all other personas is ultimately the lesson that will be drawn.
4. Renee Montoya
In Nolan's trilogy, many say that the female police officer Anna Ramirez was inspired by Renee Montoya. It's a fair assessment – both are Latina female detectives with strong senses of justice. However, Renee's disgust with corruption in the Gotham City Police Department led to her eventually leaving it; Anna was on the take, in order to pay her mother's hospital bills.
Since we've seen the fall of Anna, her redemption is something that we expected to be explored in The Dark Knight Rises. Since it wasn't, a reboot with the hard-boiled Renee Montoya would be engrossing.
Alongside Commissioner James Gordon, Renee Montoya is a prime example of law enforcement done right. Her efforts to fight crime, despite personal injustice done to her by Two-Face, mirror Batman's determination on a more grounded level, which could help a future Batman film succeed if it follows in the serious and realistic direction.

3. Lady Shiva
Back in 2010, when Christopher Nolan was scouting places in Asia for The Dark Knight, many online commenters voiced eager speculation that Lady Shiva would make an appearance, and with good reason.
Hailed by many as one of the greatest martial artists and assassins alive, Lady Shiva has a unique fighting style that is honed through using body language as the primary form of communication, creating a literal fighting instinct. The murder of her sister by the hand of Cain, a member of Ra's al Ghul's League of Assassins, spurred Shiva to perfect her martial arts. She's notable for training many DC heavyweights, including Batman, Tim Drake and the Black Canary,
Shiva's ties with the Dark Knight blur the line between friend and foe numerous times. After events that led to Bane breaking Batman's back, Shiva was the one who devised a training regimen for him. Of course, the training involved an attempt to have Batman kill a man, which demonstrates her vague alignment.
There's nothing more satisfying than hand-to-hand combat done well in a superhero movie; adding a martial artist who is considered the best in the DC universe could potentially present a fight scene unlike any other in the Batman franchise.
And of course, there's the perk of analysing what her character symbolizes. It's said that facets of Batman's personality manifests itself through his rogues. In this case, Lady Shiva represents Bruce's quest to perfect himself, and to a certain degree, his death wish.
Both strive to push themselves past human limitations, without really caring about their personal welfare. Whereas the battle against Ra's and the Joker was based on opposing beliefs of what Gotham and its people were, Shiva against Bruce would be a physical, violent confrontation of willpower and who wants to reach their goals more.
2. Nightwing (Dick Grayson)
We know, technically Dick Grayson was in Joel Schumacher's Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. However, he was always a part of the Dynamic Duo, never a solo crimefighting act.
To make a long story short, Nightwing is the alter ego of Dick Grayson, who originally fought alongside Batman as the first Boy Wonder. In time, Dick outgrew his role as Robin and struck out on his own. He joined the Teen Titans, much to Batman's disapproval. When Batman gave Dick the ultimatum of being his partner or retiring his role as Robin, Dick chose to leave Wayne Manor and eventually formed his own identity as Nightwing.
Christopher Nolan's approach of excluding Robin in his trilogy (for the most part) depicts just one part of the criteria that people will now expect from a Batman movie – a gritty and grim depiction of Gotham, realistic enough for disbelief to be suspended moreso than usual for a comic book movie.
Robin, swathed in bright colours and barely tall enough to ride any abandoned amusement ride, would have stood out like a sore underage thumb in a serious Batman adaption. A teenage Robin is pushing what modern viewers would deem acceptable – it's doubtful a sidekick combating villains and puberty would go over well with Nolan fans. Nightwing, on the other hand, fits this gauge perfectly.
His independence from Batman marks not only the maturation of Robin, but also the growth of character development in Batman films. Having a hero operate without the Bat symbol, yet still remain a member of Bruce's family, causes conflict. Both heroes were orphaned due to crime, both trained to fight it and yet both employ different methods and have nearly polar motivations.
The night his parents were gunned down will always be Bruce's reason for saving Gotham's streets, the obsessive push to forego personal happiness in order to never let another go through that night again. Dick allows himself to move past that traumatic event, and through Bruce's mentoring and father figure role, can become a different brand of hero Gotham deserves.

1. Zsasz
Vastly underestimated, Victor Zsasz can possibly become one of the most terrifying villains in the Batman universe. A sanitized version of the serial killer appeared in Batman Begins, as a mere thug for Carmine Falcone, but his history cuts much deeper.
Zsasz was a wealthy man who became a depressed gambler after his parents died. A botched suicide attempt involving a knife-wielding homeless man made him see existence as pointless and caused him to devote himself to increasing his body count.
Since then, Zsasz has left a cut on himself whenever he killed someone, accumulating tally marks that are in most incarnations too many to count. An example of Zsasz's brutality is a Battle Royale-esque arena he set up with abducted children, forcing them to murder each other until the victor would face him to the death.
His entire body maps out all of Batman's failures and his break-outs from Arkham are guaranteed to result in murder. There is nothing salvageable in Zsasz that Batman can reason with, no bargaining chips to pacify him with. He's deranged without the theatrics of dressing up as a scarecrow or a punchline for an audience. He's the sort of villain who could live in our world, and really put viewers at odds with Batman's moral code of letting mass murderers live.
Just in case you missed Zsasz in Batman Begins, we've posted one of his scenes below.
So there you have it, five characters who would be perfect for the Batman/Superman team up film. Considering Gotham has plenty more adversaries, fellow heroes and civilian characters to choose from, who do you think should star in the next Batman outing?

Also, if you want a new monitor (if you're in the US) I'd suggest subscribing to the newegg weekly newsletter and check out their sales. They often have monitors on sale that are pretty good. That's where I got my last one. Just make sure you go to camelegg or some other pricehistory checker to see if it's actually a sale...
I have done allot of changes to the UI in the past 3 weeks and I think I finaly have it how I want. I'm now just looking to improove on the visuals as the functionality is how I want it so just looking for any feed back (good or bad) on what looks good or should be changed!
No decent screen shots atm but I do have it in action here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zgin-yjCLQ

hi guys and gals
i was wondering if anyone knew of a buff/debuff addon that i can skin to match the rest of my ui...right now i have ElvUI turned on for this but i can't really change anything
heres my ui
psychoholic123: You're definitely right, I guess I'm just slow to change things unless there is a feature I know the other has for sure. I am Canadian, and am intending on buying new just need the $ first.
Pixil: I'm sure you'll come out with something nice, good luck!
[QUOTE=Malcanthet;19941162]Tweaked around a little.Would love some feedback if folks would be so kind.
If you use pixel font make sure to have it in the entire UI (you can eventually skip chat). This means Skada/Recount and Weak Auras should have pixel fonts.
I like it! It's a tad to simple / empty for my personal taste but I like the way it looks. Only think I can see out of place is the health bar size on the tolltip box being half the size of the HP number while your other 2 healthbar frames have the HP inside the bar.
The green on Green bar and HP # looks a bit wierd but hey to each there own!

Great UI and very similar to my new one. Placement of UI elements is near enough the same except I have the minimap and damage meter the switched around lol. I just use a buff addon such as PhanxBuffs but any buff addon would do. Then I just use Masque with a plugin to skin it. I suggest Masque: Darion as that should go well with your UI.
I recently posted inn this thread about my UI. Now its time for 2.0, while not much as changed overall, I put alot off work into the little things and trying to learn more.
My own toughs: I haft to consider if I can play with much smaller abblities bars, cause 3 of them fills alot. Its hard for me to not have them showen trough, a habit.
Basicly, I know my UI is nothing speciel, but by now I'm quit happy with it. I feel like it does everything I want (Some things dosen't show inn this pic, cause I wanted a picture that was more clean than last time I posted) and nothing could really be changed much.
One reason for WoW decline I often hear is that its an old game and naturally people get bored with it. But TV is much older and people still watch that. Surely if a thing you once enjoyed keept staying fun, you would still use it?
thanks Pharrax.....your new UI is reaaaally great! i like it alot. Used your suggestion and got Phanxbuffs, perfect :-) ...thank you for your help
Edit: To clarify what I do have showen inn that picture only;
Titan panel
Tiddy threat plates
MoveAnything (Mostly just to resize alot off things)
Masque for skins on Bartender
Grid/mana plugin
And quit a few other addons, that dosen't alter my UI or dosen't show inn that picture, such as needtoknow procces.

The United Arab Emirates had decided to recognize that its citizens have a serious problem with excessive weight gain, and the government has decided that it is going to take action. The government of Dubai, one of the emirates in the UAE, has decided that it will pay 1 gram of gold per kilogram who are able to lose at least 2kg during a 30 day weight loss challenge. The weight loss program would cost approximately 1kg in gold for each kilogram of weight that UAE citizens lose. The reason why the UAE government decided to implement this program is due to the fact that their country currently suffers from a severe problem of obesity. As things stood in 2009, 40 percent of Emirati men and 25 percent of Emirati women were suffering from obesity. These statistics showed that the government of the UAE needed to take action to prevent its citizens from continuing to suffer from the international epidemic of obesity that has afflicted numerous countries around the world. The UAE's government undoubtedly hopes that by providing gold for its overweight citizens it will be able to provide them with incentive to get their weight back in line. Diet pills like Phentermine are not legal in UAE and buying it on the internet and importing it to the country is illegal.
This tactic proposed by the UAE represents an interesting approach for a country's government to take when attempting to counter increasing trends toward obesity among their citizens. The cost of gold is currently about $45 per gram, which is what the UAE is offering to its citizens who are able to its citizens who are currently attempting to lose weight.
For more information visit the following URL: www.AdipexDispensary.com
The UAE is not the only Gulf State that is facing the challenge of obesity among its citizens. It implemented this program after statistics found that as much as one-fifth of the population of the UAE was suffering from obesity. The program's implementation is set to begin Friday at Gate 3 of Zabeel Park, and participants have to have an Emirates ID card in order to participate. Nutritional experts will be on site as participants register for this program, which is limited to those who have decided to lose weight using regular healthy methods rather than short-term unhealthy methods such as crash dieting.
Another benefit that this program could produce is by generating international publicity regarding the issue of obesity. While Americans are not going to be awarded any amount of gold for losing 1kg of weight, they will still be aware of the action that the UAE government is taking regarding obesity and will understand further the seriousness of the problem. While places such as Dubai may have a reputation for overspending and lavishing luxuries on their citizens, this proposal has the potential to serve as a wakeup call to anyone attempting to lose weight anywhere. Buying prescription weight loss drugs like Adipex in UAE is not possible. Another way that this program could be beneficial relates to human psychology – the government of Dubai (or for that matter any of the other Emirates) could easily adopt a program intended to help incentivize citizens to lose weight. The real benefit though derives from the publicity that will occur after oil-rich places such as Dubai or Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates recognize the need for their citizens to lose weight.

Thinker and Experimenter,
This conversation is closed.
Is there a correlation between ambiguity of the hands/feet/body with the Left and Right Hemispheres increased Activity of the Brain?
In "western" cultures, often times they use forks and spoons (both hands) and in "eastern" cultures they use chopsticks (one hand) and holding the bowl (other hand).
I have been told to use both hands because it stimulates both sides of the brain. Whenever I don't use both hands, I am teased that half my brain is asleep.
Any theories or elaborations you know of?
Topics: ambiguity brain activity change thinking

Fenni SimMay 8 2012: It is said that left brained(right handers) are used for analysis and logical thinking while right brained(left handers) are more creative. I supposed so because I have friends who are left handed and they are exceptionally good at ARTS.
Perhaps being ambidextrous allows you to reach a balance?
If not, it definitely has its physical advantages over being only a right or left handed person, as it allows you to coordinate both hands/legs when it is needed for playing certain sports, etc/.
May 10 2012: Haha yeap! I practice my left hand to write and play badminton. It was really handy esp. when it comes to exams like history paper. There is so much to write and I practically switched hand to do it.
Even playing badminton when you use too much of right hand and you will feel your left hand isn't exercising at all. lol
