Ocean Warming Means A New Paradigm For The World's Fisheries
Fishing is a profession often passed down from one generation to the next. Many lobstermen in Maine fish the same bottom their fathers and grandfathers fished, and the same holds true of fishermen father offshore as well. Yet increasingly, anecdotal evidence has suggested that the old faithful fishing spots are no longer quite so reliable.
In northern regions these shifts could lead to conflicts over fishing rights and access to traditional fishing grounds. In the tropics, the problem could be more dire. As our oceans warm, species may not be able to adapt at all, leaving tropical oceans with severely depleted fish stocks and some of the most vulnerable human populations with a distinct shortage of a vital protein source.
Much of this scarcity of native species can be attributed to overfishing, a practice now largely halted in U.S. waters thanks to strict new science-based management tactics implemented as a result of a 2006 reauthorization of the law that governs our fisheries. But increasingly, both scientists and fishermen have been eying climate change as a reason some fish are showing up in new places and the catch fishermen are accustomed to finding have been surprisingly slow to rebuild.
A new study published this week in the journal Nature puts some peer-reviewed punch behind what up until now was a common-sense theory. Most fish have a preference for a certain water temperature range, and because they are mobile creatures, as water warms due to climate change, fish populations are on the move toward the poles. The study found:
Except in the tropics, catch composition in most ecosystems slowly changed to include more warm-water species and fewer cool-water species. In the tropics, the catch followed a similar pattern from 1970 to 1980 and then stabilized, likely because there are no species with high enough temperature preferences to replace those that declined. Statistical models showed that the increase in warm-water species was significantly related to increasing ocean temperatures.
This latest research builds on the authors' 2009 study that stated:
…climate change may lead to large-scale redistribution of global catch potential, with an average of 30–70% increase in high-latitude regions and a drop of up to 40% in the tropics.
This trend could have dire implications for both fishermen and fish.
As U.S. fishermen are increasingly operating under management systems that set the total amount of fish they can catch based on their historic landings, this kind of habitat shift can lead to complex management conundrums. If a fisherman from Massachusetts is suddenly catching more summer flounder (which prefer warmer water) and less winter flounder (which prefer colder water) but his catch allocation was set based on his history of catching winter flounder, his business will not last.
Meanwhile the New Jersey fisherman's boat may not be equipped to catch the species that will replace summer flounder in his waters so he will either have to move with the fish into an area where he may not be permitted to fish, or invest in new gear and face the possibility of learning a new fishing method entirely. Neither is an attractive option.
In tropical regions, particularly in less-developed countries, the results could be much worse. Fish is the primary source of protein for more than three billion people on the planet, many of them in less-developed tropical countries. But in their case, the fish that migrate out of their waters won't be replaced by anything. This is not a question of parsing out a different mix of fish. It will result in a complete loss of a major food source.
And if it's bad for the people who depend on the fish for protein, it's worse for the fish themselves. As Daniel Pauly, one of the new study's authors put it in an interview with NPR on Wednesday, "imagine a reef fish that is driven by temperature into North Carolina or the Delaware coast. That reef fish will not find reefs. It's like you having to move, but you cannot take your furniture with you, or your house."
The challenge of rebuilding today's depleted fish populations is already a herculean one for fishery managers to address. Unfortunately, it now appears they're going to have add the complexity of tomorrow's warming and acidifying oceans to the equation.
4 Responses to Ocean Warming Means A New Paradigm For The World's Fisheries
Does anyone else see the potential for fishing wars in the Arctic Ocean?
Think about the Rubik's Cube of overlapping 200 mile economic zones and territorial claims.
Exciting times ahead at the North Pole.
We are talking about some pretty big range moves here. Range moves that have already happened, and will continue at a pace.
There will be consequences. Will three billion people sit quietly and starve, or will they too get on the move?
Lets say one third die, one third move and the third that are left have just enough to survive. One bilion people on the move is going to test the worlds political systems.
Not for long. Ocean acidification is more advanced in the Arctic, as cold waters acidify quicker. Hence the food-chains will soon collapse as the creatures at the bottom will not be able to lay down their calcium carbonate exoskeletons.
Everybody get ready.

Bought this globe to go underneath a old msp of North America. It really goes well with the wood bookshelf i have it on and the new Hako entertainment center i also got at WM. The rustic old style look of the globe itself matches my map picture, and the wooden cradle matches very well.
perfect for our downtown loft- already received many compliments from friends

Nokia's own Ovi Suite is glittering piece of designer's wet dream - full of custom widgets, animated logos, sliding screens and zero functionality. After banging my head on famous "suite is busy" message while trying to make it run backup tool I simply give up. My previous experience with less overweight version of this software also tells me that resulting backup is a single big file with no good tools to easily read separate elements inside it.
So, question is, is there 3rd party tool, preferably free and open to back up Nokia 6300 phone?
Poking around the web, it seems that there could be at least somewhat standartised interface to access contact/message/whatever phone data for different phones, so if that tool could serve other brand phones - even better.
Another very important feature that I'd be happy to have in such tool if it would back up contact and messages in some human-readable way (CSV, JSON, XML, whatever) or at least in some common format. Even better if it would split messages in separate files ala maildir. Being able to "move" content to backup, deleting it from phone after backup is done wouldn't hurt too.
Any information on libraries with bindings to dynamic languages is welcome as well.

XstalBio have proprietary technology available for licensing that can solve a wide range of bioformulation and delivery problems. These include manufacture and delivery of high concentration protein solutions, sustained release of biologics, thermally stable vaccines containing antigens and PRR ligands and dry biologic powders for delivery by inhalation.
Innovative new vaccine analysis service launched by XstalBio
Posted on 2014-03-18 09:23:34
Innovative new vaccine analysis service launched by XstalBio
Biopharmaceutical and vaccine sectors to benefit from new service
Advanced, precise and highly informative analytical techniques are the basis of a specialist new vaccine formulation and analysis service introduced for the biopharmaceuticals sector.
The new XstalBio Analytics vaccine service will be centred on its proprietary solid state Circular Dichroism (ssCD) capability alongside highly specialised orthogonal analytical techniques and an increased range of vaccine analysis, formulation and stability testing services.
This increased range includes physico-chemical methodologies for vaccine characterisation and release, formulation development and stability testing. The XstalBio Analytics' approach to vaccine analysis and formulation takes a holistic view, aimed at understanding the antigen-adjuvant interaction and the consequences for antigen structural integrity, potency and stability.
By bringing these specialist techniques together, the new service is designed to combine a comprehensive vaccine analysis capability with an effective solution to the currently unmet need to be able to directly analyse the biopharmaceutical antigen whilst it is bound to its particulate adjuvant.
The ssCD analytical technique is unique in its ability to determine specific aspects of structure in biopharmaceutical antigens in colloidal particulate vaccines. For the first time, the specialist ssCD analysis developed by XstalBio allows the collection of in situ CD spectra in colloidal suspensions and enables structural data on bound antigens to be provided, making the service ideal for vaccine protein antigen analysis.
The new XstalBio Analytics service incorporates an array of techniques for vaccine analysis and characterisation that are all fully compliant with ICH Q6B recommendations. This includes conformance with ICH Q6B's spectroscopic characterisation requirements for colloidal formulations that could not previously be analysed by traditional techniques due to particle-induced artefacts.
Furthermore, XstalBio Analytics' approach to stability studies is designed for regulatory compliance with ICHQ1A R2 and ICHQ1E for stability testing.
The new service will be provided from XstalBio's state of the art research centre in Glasgow and will be headed by Dr. Allan Watkinson. Dr Watkinson was formerly with Avecia Vaccines (UK) and Pharmathene Inc, Dr. Watkinson has extensive experience in vaccine development, formulation, analytics, GMP manufacturing and stability.
Dr Watkinson said: "The use of cutting edge analytical technologies enables us to overcome many of the issues traditionally associated with the detailed structural analysis of colloidal vaccine formulations.
"Structural data can be obtained in situ without desorption of the antigen, enabling us to deliver an innovative approach to assist with vaccine formulation, characterisation and stability studies.
"This, together with our experience and expertise in formulating vaccines, ensures we can deliver an unrivalled opportunity to accelerate the development of a customer's vaccine candidate."
XstalBio is a privately held formulation and drug delivery company with proprietary technologies for the effective delivery of biologics by injection, inhalation, oral and nasal routes.
As biopharmaceuticals have increasingly taken on colloidal formulations, XstalBio has been at the forefront of specialist new techniques that have overcome the analytical issues associated with this change and led an increased understanding of colloidal biopharmaceuticals and particulate vaccines. More at www.xstalbio.com/xstalbio-analytics
NOTE TO EDITORS: XstalBio specialises in delivering value-added solutions to clients and partners' needs and has successfully formulated over 40 biopharmaceuticals working with many of the world's top pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, including the vaccine and animal health sectors. In conjunction with this formulation expertise, XstalBio has been in the forefront of analytical development specifically for colloidal biopharmaceuticals and especially vaccines.

T-Mobile to Sell Microsoft Windows Phone
T-Mobile USA will join AT&T Inc. T -0.66 % in selling a smartphone using Microsoft Corp.'s MSFT -0.25 % revamped mobile operating system, Windows Phone 7, according to people familiar with the launch plans.
T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG, will sell a device made by Taiwan's HTC Corp. HTCXF 0.00 % , a person familiar with the plans said. T-Mobile USA may sell a more business-oriented Windows Phone 7 device later.
T-Mobile later confirmed it would be selling a Windows Phone 7 device. "T-Mobile has indicated support for Windows Phone 7 and will announce details of our Window Phone 7 offering on Oct. 11," the company said in a statement.
Microsoft is launching with AT&T and T-Mobile first because they both run on a global wireless standard called GSM. Windows Phone 7 handsets compatible with the networks that Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp. S 25.76 % operate are expected to hit the market next year.
Having another carrier partner gives Microsoft an additional outlet for distribution and boosts its chances for mass adoption of its platform. The Windows Phone 7 software represents Microsoft's attempt to reinvigorate its ailing mobile business and stay relevant in the area that technology is headed.
"The more carriers, the better," said Shiv Bakhshi, an analyst at research firm Mobile Perspectives. "It doesn't look like Microsoft is subject to the whims of one player."
Microsoft has been on a steady descent in the business. The company's share of smartphones running its operating system fell to 5.5% in the second quarter, or less than half of its share from a year ago, according to Canalys.
Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal, said the company had missed a cycle with the mobile phone business.
AT&T remains the marquee partner in pushing Windows Phone 7 and will launch with the devices initially. Microsoft sent out invitations to its unveiling next Monday, an event that features CEO Ballmer, as well as Ralph de la Vega, head of AT&T's consumer and mobility businesses.
T-Mobile USA is scheduled to be at a smaller afternoon meeting at the event. T-Mobile and HTC are holding their own separate event later that day. The timing of its phone launch is still in the works, the people said.

- Strain the mixture and refrigerate until cooled. Check the syrup's consistency. It should be like honey. If too thin, return it to pan and reduce for a few more minutes. If too thick, add a little water. Set aside.
- Slice off the tops and bottoms of the oranges. Then remove all the peel and pith around the oranges.
- Slice along the sides of each segment and pull out the segments.
- Repeat with lemons.
- Spoon the syrup onto a plate and arrange the orange and lemon segments over it. Sprinkle mint leaves on top.

I love the flavors and am so glad I made this. This would be an elegant dish to serve to guest. I can see using the cooked zest in a martini or something, if you use a bar tool type zester to cut the zest thin. When I took a bit of the orange with the sauce the anise flavor. But when you ate the lemon with the sauce the lemon brought out the full range of flavors. Now, I'm just an everyday home cook, so I can't explain why that happened with the different fruits but it sure is an experience for your taste buds. Made during * Zaar World Tour 5* 2009 game for team *Genies of Gourmet* as part of the *Spain Portugal Cooking Challenge Vive Valencia*
Wow! I used one orange and one lemon, reserving the syrup for a marinade later on in the week. I actually liked the taste of the lemon with the syrup and a bite of mint. This really would go with any type of citrus. Made for RRR, ZWT5.
Whoa. Way over the top deeeeelicious!! And easy! I'm adding this to my summer brunch menu. The only thing I'll do differently is to not slice up the lemon. Perhaps grapefruit & oranges? Made for Viva Valencia! ZWT5 5/09.

"Indio" Indio by malianrob
Indio Travel Guide: 8 reviews and 46 photos
We came to Indio for the weekend. Once again my timeshare built this new location. I firts thought was why Indio? They boasted that this was their biggest and best resort so far. I still thought why Indio????
The truth is that in the middle of summer there is only one thing I would do here, just like in Palm Springs which wasnt too far away from here and that was lay out in the sun and swim all day and night. Or hang out in the resort or your room with the airconditioning basting high because it gets hot. For our family that sounds just fine. Other people might want something else to do.
Our family loves to go on weekend trips and if its fairly close thats even better. Indio was about a 2 hour 20 minute drive from our house in LA. It is right past Palm Springs. Indio is also famous for their golf courses and alot of people come here for that.
I am not a golfer and I wasnt about to go hiking in 115 degree weather I did the next best thing. I hung out at lazy river that the resort had. Their are about 3 or four different pools here and a lazy river that had misters. I was in heaven.
The resort also has lakes with small waterfalls and a huge recreation room. This place is still underconstruction and once completed it will be even bigger. There is a golf course right next to the resort and really nothing else. If you look out all you will see is desert.

VIDEO: News Anchors Dive For Cover As Quake Shakes L.A.
When a 4.4-magnitude earthquake shook Southern California on Monday morning, KTLA-TV morning anchors Chris Schauble and Megan Henderson were live on the air. It was 6:25 a.m. local time.
Watch as they react and do what Californians know to do: "Drop, cover and hold on."
Our friends at Southern California Public Radio say that "authorities reported little to no damage citywide. Metro Rail lines were already returning to normal after an earthquake inspection, according to L.A. Metro. The California Highway Patrol sent a note via Twitter that roadways appeared to be clear and free of damage as the morning rush got underway. ... Still, the Monday quake was the most significant to shake Los Angeles since the 5.5-magnitude Chino Hills quake in 2008, according to [U.S. Geological Survey] seismologist Robert Graves."

2005 Dodge Stratus ProblemsStarting Issues and Trouble Code Due to Defective Cam/Crankshaft Sensor
When a no start condition is caused by a faulty camshaft or crankshaft sensor, related fault codes stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) should not be trusted. Our technicians tell us that under certain conditions a fault code can be stored for the "good" sensor. Care should be taken to properly diagnose this condition.
Spark plug tube seals fail, causing the tubes to fill with engine oil and the engine to misfire. As a result, the engine may run poorly and fuel economy can suffer.

2005 Dodge Stratus RecallsPassenger Sun Visor May Detach In Collision
The passenger side sun visor may detach if an accident occurs with it in the down position, and the passenger front air bag is deployed, striking it. Dealers will install a tether strap to retain the visor free of charge to resolve the concern.
The right steering knuckle may have been damaged during the manufacturing process. This could cause the steering knuckle to crack and separate from the upper control arm, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace the right steering knuckle. This recall is expected to begin on December 27, 2004. Chrysler recall number is D55.
The left and right rear outboard seat belt retractor and turning loop bolts may not have been properly tightened. In the event of a crash, seat occupants may not be properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury. Dealers will inspect and tighten the affected fasteners. This recall is expected to begin on November 15, 2004. The Chrysler recall number is D52.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska An earthquake of 7.5 magnitude struck in the Pacific Ocean off south-eastern Alaska on Saturday.
The quake occurred about 60 miles (100 km) southwest of Port Alexander at a depth of about 6 miles (10 km) at 0858 GMT, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, which downgraded the magnitude from an initial 7.7.
The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska, issued a tsunami warning for coastal areas of southeast Alaska and Canada's British Columbia, but this was later cancelled.
So far there had been no reports of damage from the earthquake, tsunami warning center scientist Bill Knight said.
Officials in Sitka, southern Alaska, were urging evacuations in low-lying areas, local radio station KCAW reported.
An earthquake of magnitude 7.7 struck British Columbia on October 27. A tsunami warning was issued but no damage ensued.

text: Kelsey Crane Exposes Herself – What's Quenching Her Creative Thirst? Interview by – Royce Johnson Photographed by Melissa Bring Make up by Tami Haviland Styling by Mandy Jill Graduating from USC with honors, San Francisco native Kelsey Crane decided to set up shop in LA and follow her dreams of acting. She's made her mark with film roles and guest spots on shows like Dexter and How I Met Your Mother, but this being LA, had to work her fair share of bartending and tray-passing gigs along the way. In 2008, fed up with just being the pretty girl making drinks, she decided to take a larger role in the sidejob business, and start Quench, a new kind of event staffing agency. From the get-go, Quench LA / NYC has devoted itself to promoting the diverse careers of its staff in addition to giving them financial stability, never treating them like anonymous pretty faces. As a Shakespeare enthusiast and one who appreciates art for art's sake, Kelsey's understood that keeping her staff's creative side burning is just as important as lining their pockets. This unique attitude has gained Quench a large roster of clients who appreciate the staff's personality as much as their looks. Recently, Kelsey sat down with Muze to share her burgeoning success story: So Kelsey, could you explain to readers exactly what Quench is, and how it differs from a traditional staffing company? Quench is a high-end boutique staffing agency. We staff everything and I mean everything from lavish red carpet events to corporate events to private parties to movie premieres to fashion shows to weddings to…honestly the list goes on and on. I have staff for everything imaginable from models to bartenders, brand ambassadors to dance troupes, personal assistants, and naked sushi girls – We. Do. It. All. Period. And believe me, I've put that to the test. You'd be surprised how demanding the requests can be and Quench has never disappointed. There are a couple different staffing agencies out there but I really believe Quench is truly special and unique for several reasons. My team is hand picked by me. I found LA and NYC's diamonds in the rough. They are not only beautiful but smart, dynamic, talented, responsible, and hard working. No one can compete with my team. Quench is a home for truly talented artists. I pride myself on that fact. Actors/models/dancers need agents, managers, and casting directors to give them jobs; but what happens in the meantime while they are waiting for their "big break"? It can take years to break into the business. What an artist truly needs is MONEY. Financial stability gives you the freedom to pursue creative endeavors. I felt like someone needed to be an advocate for the working actor, the proverbial 'starving artist'. I created a company that supports people who dedicate themselves to their art and exemplify the highest standard of quality in the service industry. I'm an actress myself and know the struggle far too well. It's easy to feel alone out here – My hope is that Quench is an artist collective that supports hard-workers. How did your experience in the service industry prepare you to run a company like that? Two words: customer service. It's about exceeding expectation. I worked in the service industry for over 10 years – it is a hard job being so attentive and gracious all the time (laughing)…it's about integrity and working with integrity no matter what how small the job. That's what I looked for when building my team, and that's what I found. When was the moment Quench went from a daydream to something you wanted to actively pursue? I think life is about seeing the opportunity in front of you and seizing it. As a creative person you do a lot of waiting. Waiting for the phone to ring with your next audition. I got sick of that. I am far too "type-A" to surrender control (laughs). I wanted to do something that helped the artists around me and ultimately something that makes me feel good and active. I saw something in the potential of Quench and ran toward it. Now was it more like "roller-coaster" fear or "running from guy with an axe in the woods" fear when you took all your money & doubled down on the business? (Laughing) Love this question and I think it's a combination of both really. My grandpa always said, "don't be afraid to spend money to make money." I think about this a lot because to start a small business you have to do just that and it is easy to be afraid. It's an investment of time, finances, and emotional stability (laughing)… I'm kidding… kind of. My company and the nature of what I do is really an extension of myself, so yeah, it can be a little scary. But man, on the good days, which thankfully are often, there is no better feeling than seeing something you've built be successful. Does working behind the scenes make you look back on memorable old gigs in a new light, having a firmer grasp on what was probably going on behind the scenes? Speaking of, what are some of your most memorable gigs, for better or worse…though for worse is the only fun choice…wait just talk about a really terrible gig. Oh gooodness!! Terrible is a strong word. I would say interesting and yes, oh yes, I have done some interesting jobs! Los Angeles and New York City are very eccentric cities with very strong personalities. It's part of the challenge- part of the job to balance that. I think it's actually my favorite part. It keeps life exciting! The service industry is at its best when it is catering to the demands of the uber-elite. Every client deserves the royal treatment. Quench provides this level of service on every job. And with a smile! So in less than two years, you went from having a handful of clients to an epic scroll of clients. How did the brand spread so quickly? (Laughs) You flatterer, you. It has been a good year. I have clients that I absolutely adore both personally and professionally. I am really lucky in that way. When you boil it down, my business is, at its' core, about good energy. Good energy and hard work are the key ingredients. And so it is really important to me to maintain a positive, respectful relationship with my clients. All my clients are repeat customers – a fact I am proud of. In the beginning you just worked with friends & friends of friends, but overnight, you've have to juggle a ton of people who know you first & foremost as boss. Which dynamic's been more fun (or at least less headache-enducing) so far? Yeah when I first started my team consisted of my favorite people from every hot bar/club that I'd worked shoulder to shoulder, heel to heel with. And yes in the last two years Quench has grown a lot. We have a New York department now too – which is very exciting. And it's interesting, this transition from teammate to boss. See…I know all the tricks from the inside out so there is no fooling me (laughing). It's true though. I do my best to balance my empathy as a friend and my responsibilities as "boss" and to always remain professional. I can honestly say: everyone that works with me becomes a friend. Even as we expand, I remain very particular about who I hire. I only hire people I genuinely like and want to support. I think if balanced right, you can have both. I find that my team always goes above and beyond to make sure I'm happy and my company is represented well. How has business taking off affected the personal life, if you don't mind my asking? I mean if you do I won't be offended? (Sarcastic) I'm so offended! (Laughing) No, of course I don't mind. The more the business grows, the less and less time I have. It is challenging balancing it all. I'm still working on it – It's a delicate art. I make it a priority to see family and friends as much as possible – Nothing is more important than that. It's restorative being around the people you love. I cannot imagine my life without that support. Luckily I work with a lot of people I love so I'm able to combine the two. Making sure I have enough time to dedicate to auditions and my creative life is extremely important to me as well. So far so good! I do a lot of juggling but I cannot imagine my life any other way. I am convinced that boredom is the root of all evil – I try to live full.

Florida Court Finds That Gay-Adoption Ban Violates the Equal Protection Clause
Starting now, gay couples can now adopt in the state after a 30-year block.
Governor Charlie Christ hailed the decision, by Judge Gerald Cope of Florida's Third District Court of Appeals, and ordered that state agencies should immediately stop enforcing the ban. "It's a very good day for Florida; it's a great day for children," he said. "Children deserve a loving home to be in." Judge Cope said that the law had "no rational basis" and violated the Equal Protection Clause of the State Constitution. [NYT]

First off, I love this plugin and your service so thanks for everything you do to make the web a faster place for us all. I've used your plugin for about 2 years now with no issues. However, I recently updated from WP 3.3.1 to 3.3.2 and started encountering issues uploading images through the WordPress Control Panel. Images would upload about 50% of the time. The rest of the time I would get timeouts, HTTP errors, or FTP error messages. As soon as I disabled the Smush.it plugin, image uploading started working again.
Can you please release a patch as I would love to continue using your plugin, but cannot in its current state.

Back in November we moved into a different house (it was a rental) with the intention of rehabbing it while we live in it (yes we are crazy, or at least one of us is - and it isn't me.). At the time, Baby Snob was 10 months old. As I am sure you...Continue reading

A Balanced Healthy Thanksgiving
Apparently Thanksgiving is next week. I'm finding this difficult to believe. There is still Halloween candy in the pantry and election signs in our neighbors' yards. I feel completely unprepared for Thanksgiving this year. Luckily there is still a week before the big day! Some people like to completely indulge on Thanksgiving. Some people prefer...Continue reading

Helping in the Kitchen
You might think that a 7 month-old can't really help or wouldn't be interested in helping her mom cook. I would of said I tend to agree, except that Baby Snob loves spending time in the kitchen with me. She wants to watch what I am doing, look at the different foods, and she would...Continue reading

Tips for Traveling Internationally with Baby
So I think I can finally say I've "recovered" from our vacation because yes, unfortunately, traveling overseas with a 6 month-old, while very fun, was in no way relaxing. Here's what flying looked like: St. Louis - Chicago (45 minutes, early evening) Chicago - Zurich (8.5 hours, overnight) Zurich - hotel (2 hours by bus, early...Continue reading

Wouldn't you love to have yourself a gorgeous young toy boi who loves to suck and get fucked? Lucky stud Ted lies in bed with his boyfriend Christian, a much younger and extremely gorgeous blond guy with a real aptitude for sucking dick! Ted is on a late-night business call, but Christian isn't put off - he just ducks his head down to Ted's waist and start sucking! Ted quickly rings off, unable to maintain his concentration with the delicious feeling of Christian's soft lips wrapped around his quivering pole. He remains lying down while the Christian gets on top, straddling his man and slowly easing that dribbling dick into this tight ass.

Epilogue – Ecological Literacy – excerpt from page 297Reconnecting with the web of life means building and nurturing sustainable communities in which we can satisfy our needs and aspirations without diminishing the chances of further generations. For this task we can learn valuable lessons from the study of ecosystems, which are sustainable communities of plants, animals and microorganisms. To understand these lessons, we need to learn the basic principles of ecology. We need to become, as it were, ecologically literate. Being ecologically literate, or "ecoliterate," means understanding the principles of organization of ecological communities (ecosystems) and using those principles creating sustainable human communities. We need to revitalize our communities – including our educational communities, business communities, and political communities – so that the principles of ecology become manifest in them as principles of education, management, and politics.

Like many others, I have deep misgivings about the state of education in the United States. Too many of our students fail to graduate from high school with the basic skills they will need to succeed in the 21st Century economy, much less prepared for the rigors of college and career. Although our top universities continue to rank among the best in the world, too few American students are pursuing degrees in science and technology. Compounding this problem is our failure to provide sufficient training for those already in the workforce.

I believe this country stands at a crossroads. For decades, innovation has been the engine of prosperity in this country. Now, economic progress depends more than ever on innovation. And the potential for technology innovation to improve lives has never been greater.... If we make the right choices, the United States can remain the global innovation leader that it is today.
These four policy prescriptions – strengthening educational opportunities, revamping immigration rules for highly skilled workers, increasing federal funding for basic scientific research, and providing incentives for private-sector R&D – should in my view be top priorities as Congress and the Administration consider how to maintain the nation's leadership in science, technology, and innovation.
I think the more you have a generalist perspective, I think sometimes the more you can kind of see through the forest and the trees. And when it gets a little bit cloudy, you know, have some sense of, "Well, maybe this might happen or maybe that might happen." So I really am a big believer in liberal arts education. I think it's better -- particularly in these kind of uncertain times -- to know a little bit about a lot of things as opposed to being expert in one thing.

I have a lot of energy. I have a great desire to absorb information. I'm not a sponge exactly, but I find that something I look at -- just walking around Williamsburg, for example -- is a great opportunity for ideas. I've been here before, I've seen things before, but now my eye gets keener and keener. So I can pick up little things: just the pattern of a brick walk, or the way they've attached a light to a house.

Divorced in Maryland in 1993. Monthly alimony payment 1400/month. Now unemployed and on social security income. Living now in Mississippi. Cannot afford lawyer's fees.
Divorce / Separation Lawyer
There are a number of facts an attorney would need to know in order to give you a good answer: 1) Is the alimony nonmodifiable? 2) Does the court still have jurisdiction to modify alimony? 3) Is your ex-spouse employable? 4) What are the living expenses and living circumstances of your ex-spouse?
If the circumstances of your legal situation are favorable, it is possible you could have the alimony totally eliminated or reduced substantially. However, you will need to disclose all relevant facts of your legal situation to an attorney to get the good legal advice you truly need. At $1,400.00 per month, this is an issue worth dealing with in an appropriate manner.
This is NOT legal advice, is GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY, and does NOT establish an Attorney/Client Relationship with you because you have not yet retained me, and because you have not provided me with a COMPLETE set of all the FACTS in your legal situation. Therefore my answer cannot address your specific legal situation and you should not rely upon my answer in your legal matter. This answer is provided as GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY, and to assist you in beginning your own research or in finding an attorney to represent you. I am an attorney licensed in Maryland and California. If you want me to provide legal advice, then you must call for a Consultation. If you would like me to represent you, then a Retainer and a fully signed and dated Legal Services Agreement (a contract) will be required. Office: (410) 381-1656. David Mahood, Esq.
Contracts / Agreements Lawyer
File the appropriate motions in circuit court either yourself using the forms available online or through an attorney.
This is not legal advice nor does it create an attorney-client relationship. This is for education and informational purposes only. It is always recommended that you contact an attorney with any concerns as each individual case is unique.

Gurmukh (meaning "to face the Guru" in Punjabi) is the practice of following the "ways of the Guru" instead of following your animal instincts and basic desires of the mind. The opposite of Gurmukh is Manmukh.

3-Day Mont St-Michel and Chateaux Country Tour from Paris

- Reviews
Reviewed by: Arnold P, May 2015
Our guide .on the first day, I had forgotten his name, but was great and ensured we were well informed of the monastery. On the last 2 days Elina was amazing. She was made me feel as if we were a family of closely related people and not strangers. She gave me so much insight of a caring person who really enjoyed our company as well. She was most informative, knowledgable and had appropriate answers to any questions. At concluding I felt that she was sad to see our trip end even though the traffic back to Paris was horrendous. 4 hours for 150ks. Thank you for a great trip.

Excellent tour giving a good overview of the Loire Valley region. Our knowledgable guide, Florence, gave just enough information to keep the interest level right. Great places to visit and highly recommend this tour.

Well done! ....saw a lot in 3 days...knowledgeable and friendly guides who spoke good English..... hotels were clean with large rooms. Suggestions: include a winery stop.....don't spend so much time on lunch stops as it takes time from what we want to see...give us choices for food. For example my wife does not eat beef or pork

Just great, much enjoyed countryside, chateaux and commentary information.

Local tpur operator, Cityrama, was a little ovetrwhelmed with all the morning tours departing at the same time and did little to inform or assure passengers thougj they did manage to sort it all out and depart only 10 minutes late. Mont St Michel was a wonderful venue, despite the long drive from Paris. Lunch was disappointing though. Might be a good idea to let people know the level of physical agility required. Guide (Pascale) really brought a lot of interest to the tour. Following 2 days in the Loire was mixed. Could've done without the entire 1st day itinerary and swapped it for a winery tour and a tour of a Troglodite village. Day 2 with the 3 chateaux however was great. In general, it was a little annoying to have the constant commentary being translated into 4 languages. Smaller groups of same language might help?
