In Lower Saxony, in the heart of the Ammerland region, lies the spa resort of Bad Zwischenahn. Situated on the shores of Lake Zwischenahn, the third largest lake in Lower Saxony, the town offers total relaxation and much more besides.
Bad Zwischenahn, a state-approved mud spa since 1964, is renowned as a holiday destination. Thanks to its fantastic lakeside location it is ideally placed to offer not only wellness therapies and active leisure pursuits, but also a range of therapeutic treatments.
The power of peat
Great store is traditionally set by the healing properties of the local mud, and the former rheumatism clinic – which predominantly carried out mud-based treatments – has now become the Lakeside Rehabilitation Centre, specialised in the treatment of orthopaedic illnesses. As a part of this, the centre's highly qualified team now employs a deliberate symbiosis of modern medicine and the healing powers of nature.
Lakeside rehabilitation centre
In addition to medical expertise, the Lakeside Rehabilitation Centre also offers all the benefits of a traditional spa and health resort. The idyllic parks on the shores of Lake Zwischenahn refresh and regenerate both mind and body. Watersports on the lake, cycling and hiking along well-marked routes: at Bad Zwischenahn it's not only about the mud packs.
Wellness by the lake
Visitors to the 'Wellness am Meer' lakeside wellness centre will find that it has everything they need to enjoy some active but also laid-back leisure time. Housing a wave pool with a 36°C outside saltwater pool and a sauna complex with a steam sauna, two Finnish saunas and a log cabin sauna, the centre lets you choose what to focus on.

I saw the commercial on the news last night. It looks like it came straight from the 80s.
When I see bullsh*t like that, I just want to retire from the graphic design field all together.
I want to use a nice leather glove to slap the face of the designer(s) who created that logo.
What exactly is Izzy supposed to be? He looks like a speedy blueberry.
That logo reminds me of the "I want a pop, I want a Shasta" jingle from the 80's. I also kinda think of Sheena Easton a little.
That logo is pretty craptastic.
Izzy IS the seizure that the logo causes.
That logo is so ugly it hurts. Not just the shapes, the colors and font are also terribly wrong.
It makes the Vancouver 2010 logo look like a masterpiece in comparison, and that received a lot of criticism at first too.
That logo looks like Maggie Simpson giving head.
Holy Jolt cola that logo make my eyes bleed.
Not sure if you mentioned that logo cost $800,000 to create.
I was just going to ask if you'd posted this already, then I remembered I saw this on BWE's blog yesterday. So that's why it's familiar. And yeah, stupid logo.
i had just assumed the logo was supposed to be all 80s and so bad it was good.
Want to have an epileptic seizure? Check out the poster for the 1968 Mexico City Summer Olympics. It still looks cooler than London 2012.
ok - the mexico 68 logo is WAY cooler than this London monstrosity
actually i like the logo, although it is very London "rightthisveryminutenu-rave80srevival", so not sure how well it will wear as a design between now and 2012. my guess is not so well, but still i think it's cool. too bad the olympics aren't tomorrow then.
Holy hell -- I LOVE this commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txXC6PwgEmc.
So cool. The logo just takes over. It infiltrates your Post-Its. It gets in your cell phone. It slides all over your cheap apartment. It even wears your soccer coach. Whoa! I'm excited about the Olympics now. Totally!

"I used CoverGirl Queen Collection Natural Hue Compact Foundation in Golden Honey, and then set it with CoverGirl Queen Collection Natural Hue Minerals Pressed Powder in Brown Bronze 1."
"First, I applied MAC Eyeshadow in Brown Down above the crease and under the lower lash, and then I dusted Lancome Eyeshadow in Garment Intense over the entire lid. For depth, I lined the inner bottom eyelid with CoverGirl Outlast Eyeliner in Onyx. Finally, I accentuated Queen's lashes with CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Waterproof Mascara in Very Black."
"I wanted to balance her smokey eye with a nude lip, so I lined her lips with Kevyn Aucoin Flesh Tone Lip Pencil in Deep (make sure you rub your lips together to blend the liner) and then layered on CoverGirl Lipslicks Lipgloss in Cutie."
"Queen already has beautiful cheekbones, so I used MAC Blush in Sweet As Cocoa just to add a hint of color and tone. For a subtle glow, I dusted CoverGirl Queen Collection Natural Hue Bronzer in Brown Bronze all over."

''I gained inspiration, knowledge, confidence ... insight
into the corporate and political world.
''It has enhanced my leadership skills and I'm already
putting what I've learnt to good use.''
The Rural Woman New Zealand (RWNZ) Hampden branch president
was one of 11 organisation members from throughout New
Zealand selected to attend its Growing Dynamic Leaders course
in Wellington last month.
Agri-Women's Development Trust founder and Next 2013 Business
Woman of the Year Lindy Nelson led the first section and set
the tone for the three-day programme.
Speakers and workshops focused on ways the women could be
more effective as leaders in the community ''whatever we were
involved with'', Mrs Trimble said.
The opportunity to meet women members of National and
Labour's caucuses gave the group a chance to put rural issues
directly to the politicians.
''It was pretty amazing to have very influential people
listening to our stories.''
Watching sittings of Parliament was an ''eye-opener for all
of us ladies''.
Mrs Trimble said she found the session with Volunteering New
Zealand chief executive Vanisa Dhiru of particular interest
and relevance.
She spoke about the roles of volunteers in the community and
what skills leaders needed ''to get the best out of others''.
Ministry of Social Development representatives spoke to the
group about its collaboration with RWNZ to raise awareness
about family violence and the help available through a
letterbox sticker campaign, ''It's OK to ask for help''.
''We have to acknowledge there is violence in every
community, in all its forms, from bullying to physical abuse.
''People either don't know about it or don't want to talk
about it. The sticker programme is a silent way to let people
know we care and where they can go to for help."
Stickers are available from any branch of RWNZ and there is
further information on the website at: http://areyouok.org.nz/
Kiwiblog founder David Farrar spoke to the group about the
potential of social media to be an effective tool for
advocating for rural community issues, and the need for it to
be used responsibly.
The RWNZ group gave a presentation about the importance of
mental wellness ''which underpins everything we do on the
farm'' to Landcorp, who sponsored the programme.

I was in the bathroom the other day getting ready for work when I glanced at the toilet bowl.
"Oops," I said to myself. "It's time to clean it again."
And I took out my toilet brush and swished it around.
I didn't have time to use my favorite products -- some cleaners called Ba'am and Kaboom!
Not only do they work, but I just love the names. They are especially appropriate when it comes to my cleaning skills. A name like "Blast-Off" would probably be good too for something I would use.
Anyway, as I grabbed the toilet brush I gave a thought to those disposable brushes which I think I really should consider.
Everything else in my cleaning arsenal seems to be disposable.
Take the thing I attach to a long wand to clean the tub. At this point, though, I must admit, I'm not sure where the things are that attach to the wand. I just know where the wand is, and that's a point in my favor. I really need to connect the two -- cleaner and wand very soon because I think it's been awhile since I've swished a cleaning implement around the tub.
I Kaboom the wash basin quite frequently, and it gives me great joy.
I also Kaboom -- or Ba'am I can't remember which -- the kitchen sink. It's looking better all the time.
And I am planning, in the near future, to either Kaboom or Ba'am the kitchen stove.
The kitchen oven is hopeless, but I really must do something with that, as well, in the near future.
My point to all this is the wonderful products which have been invented in recent years to make housekeeping that much easier.
The other day I searched high and low in several stores until I found the perfect new dusting tool.
I also have other dusting inventions from months past. The problem with those is the minute I open the packages I somehow don't close them properly and when I get around to dusting again -- usually a month or two later -- the handy little wet dusters aren't wet any more.
I also have that extension thing that can reach high places and is used by the woman who dances around her house -- dusting here, dusting there and never once sneezing from the dust, cat hair and other foreign items which mysteriously invade one's house.
So, here's my point.
I am faithful in getting all these miracle cleaners.
I search high and low for just the newest invention.
So, why don't I use them?
I guess I really do have the answer.
Several months ago I bought new drip things for the stove. I put them on the dining room table for awhile -- the table which is one of the most popular catch-alls in the Heymen household.
After several weeks (okay, maybe months) of seeing the drip things on the dining room table, I got tired of looking at them. So, I moved them to the kitchen table.
There they stayed for several more weeks (okay, maybe months.) And, one day I just got tired of the whole thing. I stuck them somewhere.
Just last week I decided I really needed to change the drip things on the stove.
So I began looking for the new ones.
I looked in cupboards in the kitchen.
I looked in cupboards in the garage.
I looked on shelves in the laundry room.
The sad news is I never did find them, so I had to go out and buy another set.
The glad news is -- WHEN I need to once again replace the dip things I have another set somewhere in the house, but of course, it's IF I ever find them.
And one final sad note: You might laugh and think I'm making all this up.
I'm not.

Definition of rococo
: rococo work or style
First Known Use of rococo
Simple Definition of rococo
: of or relating to a style of artistic expression that involves fancy curved forms and much decoration and was popular in the 18th century
Full Definition of rococo
1 a : of or relating to an artistic style especially of the 18th century characterized by fanciful curved asymmetrical forms and elaborate ornamentation b : of or relating to an 18th century musical style marked by light gay ornamentation and departure from thorough-bass and polyphony
2 : excessively ornate or intricate
Examples of rococo in a sentence
The chairs are carved in a rococo style.
Did You Know?
In the 18th century, French artists rebelled against the ponderousness of Baroque style and began to create light, delicate interior decorations, furniture, and architectural elements characterized by fanciful curved asymmetrical forms and elaborate ornamentation. The name of their new style, rococo, has been traced to the French rocaille, a term that evoked the ornamental use of rock and shell forms. In time, rococo was also applied to similarly ornamented and intimate styles of painting and music. But all fashions fade, and by the mid-1800s the rococo style was deemed excessively ornate and out-of-date. Now rococo is often used with mild disdain to describe the overly elaborate.
Origin and Etymology of rococo
French, irregular from rocaille rocaille

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- The NCAA baseball regional between South
Carolina and Stetson has been delayed by a severe thunderstorm that
knocked out power to Carolina Stadium.
The game was halted at 8:24 p.m. Sunday with South Carolina
leading 4-1 in the top of the fifth inning. Most of the crowd had
filed out before the storm hit but some were under the covered
Winds were so strong that they blew part of the tarp off the
infield. Motorized carts that groundskeepers put in place to anchor
the covering also got pushed around.
Officials are waiting for the power to return and the storm to
pass before trying to resume.

Hi Im using theme "Inove"
And the issue is, if you're really deep into the navigation (around page 1000+) the buttons will be bigger and start being displayed outside the theme.
What i want is for the navigation buttons to respect the parent div content width and when that width is reached it should start displaying the next navi button on the row below.
I'm not a expert on CSS but if i change .wp-paginate li {display:inline; list-style:none;}
to .wp-paginate li {display:block; list-style:none;}
all navigation buttons are displayed on a new row, i want them to reach the width xxx before it creates a new row.

Network Adapter could not establish the Connection
Feb 18, 2008 7:54 AM
Hi All,
we are using a PL/SQL package. This package is compiled in one schema and it is accessible in another schemas also. The problem we are getting is "Network Adapter could not establish the Connection" when we try to run this package in both the schemas. We are getting this problem alternatively i.e once this procedure is able to execute successfully and once giving the exception mentioned above.
Here the procedure which we are executing inturn calls a java stored procedure and the java stored procedure calls the java class and in this java class we are giving database connection to connect to the database.
The exceptions we are getting are as follows :
Process err :java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the

Why use Java JDBC connection to connect from the database to another database? That is pretty much re-inventing the wheel.
What are you doing differently and/or better in a Java stored proc that a plain Oracle database link does not suffice?

Mr Wouters (75), an unofficial volunteer for the visitors
from Vanuatu, is on a mission to provide them with transport
during their stay in the district.
He said many of the foreign workers on orchards in the
Clyde-Earnscleugh area had to walk or hitchhike into
Alexandra when they fancied a trip to town, as they had no
other option for getting there.
''If I was in Vanuatu, I'd probably appreciate it, too, if I
was stuck,'' Mr Wouters said of his fledgling scheme.
So far, he has been offered just a couple of bikes, but he
was confident there were many more gathering dust in people's
garages and garden sheds which could be donated and put to
good use.
One Vanuatuan orchard worker who had already been presented
with a recycled ride was ''very happy'' to be spared the long
walk to Alexandra, Mr Wouters said.
The bikes would remain in Central Otago once the seasonal
staff had departed and be offered to next year's influx of
The bike appeal is not the first time Mr Wouters has helped
others with a public plea for donated goods.
A few years ago, he spearheaded a project to ship 3000 books
donated by Central Otago people to schoolchildren in Ghana,
West Africa, after he travelled there and saw first-hand the
poverty of the developing country and the lack of education

neck stall, flick, neck stall.
Its A Girls Game.
lean forwards, then flick your back up staright again and flick your head up, it should go up in the air. its hard to explain...
Mattsta-"There would be no point in freestyle if we knew all the tricks from the start. The fact that we had to practise to get them pays off because in the end we have earnt it."
a good way to describe it is standing up and looking behind you in one fast motion. through practice youll discover how fast and how big to make the movements
Freestyle Videos: http://youtube.com/fsadelaide / http://vimeo.com/mattfs
From neckstall, let the ball roll on your head slowly. Flick it up as the ball reaches about 3/4 of the back of your head. You can learn more about neckstall and flicking from neckstall in this article:

- 1 green onion
- 1 -3 tablespoon canned chopped chile (to taste)
- 4 8-inch flour tortillas
- chunky salsa, for topping or dipping
- In a medium bowl, toss together the cheese, green onion, and chilies: set aside.
- Spray a medium skillet with nonstick spray and place over medium heat.

Barb, this is a great recipe. I have made quesadillas off of other recipes and have always loved the different ways of making them. The last couple times I made quesadillas, I used Supremo's Queso Chihuahua cheese. A friend of mine recommended their Queso Fresco and after being impressed by that I tried their Chihuahua cheese. Definitely recommend trying this cheese. Perfect melting cheese! And might I say very tasty!! Thanks NVirginian for recommending the chopped tomato!
Barb, I served these for dinner several nights ago and they were scarfed down by everyone. I did add some fajita chicken I had on hand to some of the quesadillas and they were a hit, too! I mix sour cream with salsa for a nice creamy/spicy dip, and that was perfect for these. We could have eaten these all night long.
Perfect accompaniment to some vegetarian tortilla soup I made tonight. I used butterkase cheese because we usually keep it on hand for grilled cheese sandwiches. I also added some chopped tomatoe. Thanx Barb!

I've been wondering lately. Lets say we're doing a webapp with JSF+Spring+JPA/Hibernate (or well any other technologies) and lets say we have a "User" entity. We want the User to have a unique login. If we want to do it then we can put a @UniqueConstraint on the "Login" column, but still our application has to check during user registration whether the user input is valid (unique) or not, without that and only with the DB constraint we will simply get an error. This made me think, are DB constraints really necessary/helpful? The only two times I can think off when they would give us any benefits would be when someone tries to hack us (but I guess our app should be SQL injection proof anyway) or we try to change the DB content manually (which shouldn't really happen). Actually now that I think about it, are DB constraints in general necessary/good practice? Like the lenght of a string etc.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
For me, categorically yes, see Database as a Fotress by Dan Chak from 97 Thinks Every Software Architect Should Know. He says it much better than I could.
Yes, they are. They enforce data integrity at the lowest level.
You might want to change DB content manually(i.e upgrades to new version)
You might forget to check some constrain in your code.
You can look at this like client/server validation. Your program is client, db is server. Mostly client validation is enough, but you must have server validation just in case something goes wrong.
I think a data person would say both are absolutely necessary. Your question assumes that your middle tier application code will be in front of that database now and forever.
The truth is that middle tier applications come and go, but data lives forever.
There's no getting away from length of columns in schema design. I think you're asking if it's a good practice for the middle tier to enforce them. Maybe not, but they're key for the database.
Often when you declare a set of columns to be unique, it's something that you will want to query by - so it should most likely be indexed anyway.
Yes your application should do the appropriate checking, but what if a mistake slips through? If your database knows something is meant to be unique, at least you know you won't store invalid data (or not "badly" invalid data, like duplicates of data intended to be unique). At any rate you could ask the opposite question: what does it cost you?
If you want to have bad data, then take off the unique constraints in the database. I have worked around databases since the 1970's and have queried or imported data stored in hundreds of databases. I have never seen good data in databases where the constraints are improperly set at the application level. Many things other than the application hit the database (imports from other systems, a quick update to prod data to fix a data issue that is run from the query window, other applications, etc.). Many times the application is replaced and the constraints are lost.
Constraints, both unique and foreign not only enforce data integrity, but they have performance implications. Without knowledge of these 'informal' constants, database optimizers are going to make unpredictable decisions about how to execute your statements.
That's the funniest thing I've ever read. You simply get an error? That's really all you need right? Ever heard of error trapping? Try Catch ring any bells?
It's actually very counter productive for your app to "check". The database is going to check anyways on the constraint so why do it twice. The app should just insert the row as if it will be fine. The DB will check for uniqueness and raise an error on a failure... You app should CATCH that error and do whatever you were doing in your existing check.
Yes. Just catch the key violation error and the key constraint will have done the work for you without having to incur an additional overhead of an additional check first.

The paper describes the compilation of a program specification, written in the very high level nonprocedural MODEL language, into an object, PL/1 or Cobol, procedural language program. Nonprocedural programming languages are descriptive and devoid of procedural controls. They are therefore easier to use and require less programming skills than procedural languages. The MODEL language is briefly presented and illustrated followed by a description of the compilation process. An important early phase in the compilation is the representation of the specification by a dependency graph, denoted as array graph, which expresses the data flow interdependencies between statements. Two classes of algorithms which utilize this graph are next described. The first class checks various completeness, nonambiguity, and consistency aspects of the specification. Upon detecting any problems, the system attempts some automatic correcting measures which are reported to the user, or alternately, when no corrections appear as reasonable, it reports the error and solicits a modification from the user. The second class of algorithms produces an intermediate design of an object program in a language independent form. Finally, PL/1 or Cobol code is generated.

Extraction of three-dimensional structure of a scene from stereo images is a problem that has been studied by the computer vision community for decades. Early work focused on the fundamentals of image correspondence and stereo geometry. Stereo research has matured significantly throughout the years and many advances in computational stereo continue to be made, allowing stereo to be applied to new and more demanding problems. We review recent advances in computational stereo, focusing primarily on three important topics: correspondence methods, methods for occlusion, and real-time implementations. Throughout, we present tables that summarize and draw distinctions among key ideas and approaches. Where available, we provide comparative analyses and we make suggestions for analyses yet to be done.

Jes Hathaway is the editor in chief of National Fisherman magazine and NationalFisherman.com.
Written by Jes Hathaway
Tuesday, 30 June 2015
It's the time of year when I want nothing more than to be on the water. And of course I say that as a non-fisherman. I'm just one of the many recreational users of our waterways. (Hence, my fair-weather friendship.)
I write often about conflicts among user groups, and naturally many fishing groups keep a hairy eyeball on the oil industry. The threat of oil spills, as we've seen most recently in California, is daunting for those who make their living harvesting the ocean's creatures.
Mishaps, after all, are guaranteed. Humans make mistakes. So we must assume when we allow oil and gas exploration and drilling in a fishing rich area that there will be leaks and spills — ideally not catastrophic ones.
But if anyone can understand what it's like to be maligned, it's commercial fishermen. Fleets and individual boat owners all over the country have made great strides to improve their selectivity, fuel consumption, onboard safety, product quality and overall sustainability. And yet, there is plenty of negative press about how commercial fishing has depleted resources to the point of no return.
The solution, we chant on a seemingly endless loop, is gear and tech improvement. And I say that's just the kind of commitment we'd like to see from the oil and gas sector.
Enter: sugar-based surfactant. According to Maritime Executive magazine, researchers at the City College of New York have developed a biodegradable agent that can clean up water-based light crude oil spills.
If you've followed the Deepwater Horizon spill coverage, you're likely familiar with Corexit, the chemical surfactant that sank the gushing oil to the seabed. We will never know what the results would have been without Corexit. But we may also never know the damage these patches of oil have caused to marine ecosystems, as much of the coagulated oil remains on the sea floor.
A biodegradable surfactant could be the first step in harmonious coexistence for the oil and fishing industries, not only in politics but in practice.

These days, most emergency management rulings come in the form of a fishery closure. This week, however, Alaska salmon managers have declared an early opening of the setnet fishery on Cook Inlet's Kasilof River — for the third time in three years as sockeye swarm the area, reaching escapement goals early.
The Department of Fish and Game counts the salmon heading upstream. Once they reach an optimum threshold for spawning (escapement), managers open the fishery to some mix of commercial, subsistence and recreational fishing. The risk of holding off opening the fishery is that too many fish spawning can lead to boom and bust cycles of fish. Managers count the fish to try to minimize fluctuations in biomass.
But this opening is not without controversy. For decades, anti-setnet activists have been targeting local setnetters, claiming that their bycatch of king salmon — a prize sport fish — is too high to justify the use of setnets for sockeye. Recently, the Alaska Fisheries Conservation Alliance submitted 43,000 signatures to bring a setnet ban to the state ballot in an effort to eliminate setnetting in urban areas. It could be on ballots as early as August 2016.
However, Area Management Biologist Pat Shields tells the Peninsula Clarion the king salmon running with the sockeye at this stage are not the same salmon that would be returning the the Kenai River, where recreational king salmon fishing has been closed.
He also noted that managers are careful to balance the commercial fishery's needs with the needs of competing interests.
"We could have fished (Sunday)," he told the Clarion. "We have the escapement right now to fish (Sunday). We're aware of king salmon concerns, so we're delaying that by a day. If we didn't have any concerns for king salmon ... we probably would fish all of the hours that we could.

The ongoing battle over Marine Stewardship Council certification of Alaska salmon erupted anew with a letter from Rob Zuanich on behalf of the Alaska Salmon Processors Association to Stefanie Moreland, representing the major processors — Trident, Peter Pan, Icicle, Ocean Beauty, North Pacific and Leader Creek.
The ASPA is a group of smaller processors who account for about 15 percent of Alaska's salmon harvest. The major processors make up the rest. In 2012, the big processors acted together in deciding to take a leap away from MSC and strike out on their own. Now they want back in, but according to the letter, the effort is too little too late.
When the big processors decided to move away from MSC, one of the reasons was because the expense of keeping the ecolabel was burdensome and at the time perceived as potentially unnecessary for the seafood powerhouse that is Alaska salmon. After all, the relationship started when MSC asked the big Alaska processors to carry the ecolabel to help MSC gain international recognition. And that it did.
As such, it seems reasonable that the state of Alaska might have the notion that it is big enough to compete with MSC. Alaska salmon is a pristine brand recognized the world over that could seemingly rely on its history and products to make inroads into European markets where MSC has had a stranglehold on access.
It's understandable that at that point the small processors may have felt left behind in the wake of major international business decisions. The string of organizations potentially taking over for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game as MSC client for the salmon fishery resulted in the loss of critical time to complete the assessment for 2013. The smaller processors lost a summer season with MSC because of the political battle they fought against the major processors who were pushing for all Alaska salmon to forge ahead without MSC. And in retrospect, it's clear that the ASPA members made the right move for their businesses to keep their label with MSC.
Now that the major processors want back in, the ASPA has their chance to wield a little power, and that they have by putting off allowing the major processors to join their client group until after the summer (read: money-making) season is over, as Zuanich explained in his letter.
The letter also claims the big salmon processors stepped away from MSC and urged other associations to stand down as its client. The motive being that if all Alaska salmon withdrew from the European marketplace, perhaps the market itself would accept the group's choice of the Food and Agriculture Organization's Responsible Fisheries Management label to fill the void of wild salmon.
But the bottom line is the bottom line: The big companies have the capital to withstand a few iffy seasons while establishing a new ecolabel; the small ones may not. The big companies simply can't expect the small processors to manage the risk in the same way. So could they have done something to sweeten the pot for the small companies? Perhaps. Would that have been a good business move? In retrospect, perhaps. At the time, I doubt that seemed like an sensible option.
Now MSC is entering the fray in an attempt to mediate and bring the major processors onboard for the season.
In the world of Alaska salmon politics, it doesn't get better than a ringside seat at this fight.
This intricate dance illustrates that while Alaska is a seafood giant renowned for its salmon industry, there are many political factors at play within that single fishery.
If nothing else, it has gotten salmon fishermen charged up for a season that is predicted to break records, and with the prospect of a stronghold in MSC-dominated European markets, all the more reason to be (tentatively) excited about boat prices and Christmas bonuses.
If you're planning on a winter trip to Hawaii or Arizona, I recommend you book your tickets now. I suspect most Alaska Air flights to sunny winter havens will be sold out by the end of summer.

I admit I had the wind knocked out of my sails late last week when I read that President Obama has opted to dismiss out of hand Alaska Rep. Don Young's Magnuson-Stevens reauthorization draft, reportedly based on the advice of his staff.
After the industry mustered support for the bill that could possibly be a Hail Mary pass for the Northeast groundfish fleet, I was excited to see it get widespread support (though Senate approval was uncertain), because that means more people understand the inordinate amount of pain under which New England fishing ports and fleets are operating right now (not to mention the forecast for harbors all along the Eastern Seaboard).
According the White House statement, the objection is to "arbitrary and unnecessary requirements that would harm the environment and the economy." The problem is that as management now stands, arbitrary and unnecessary requirements are harming the economy and the industry, and quite possibly the environment, too.
What all those opposed to Young's bill say is that there's already flexibility in the Magnuson Act. And yet, the powers that be in the Northeast refuse to use that flexibility, and there is no way to hold them accountable for that choice.
So our fleets are caught in the middle, and those who wield the power to change the future have nothing to lose from the collapse of our infrastructure.
The fishermen stand to lose everything. And the public stands to lose access to healthy, local fish when the small-boat fleet gives out after a 95 percent cut in quota.
It looks more and more like we will have to lose it to know the value of what we've lost. And then what?
What we will get if we keep tightening the vise on our small-boat fleet is the little guys selling out the the big guys and total ownership of the resource by a handful of large corporations. If what we want is to establish and maintain sustainability in fisheries, it seems to me that the last thing we want to do is put the entirety of the ownership of fisheries in the hands of powerful corporations who have the legal prowess to write their own rules.
If you agree, please contact your representatives and tell them you want to help save small-boat fleets across the country by passing H.R. 1335.

There are no guarantees in life. Even if you despise the green movement for some reasons, you may find yourself working with environmentalists to protect your own backyard.
Such is the case with some of the opponents of Pebble Mine.
A Wall Street Journal article last week was yet another attempt to damn the process at EPA by clutching pearls at the idea that an environmental activist was involved in fighting Pebble Mine at the early stages.
"Where is the transparency?" the mine's defenders ask, and rightly so. While I admit that this is not a shocking development, it presents evidence contrary to EPA's claim that they were merely responding to the requests of Native tribes and local fishermen.
I've talked to people in those groups, and I can say without a shred of doubt that they want to keep Pebble Mine far away from their livelihood and source of subsistence for all the right reasons (that is, not political ones).
But if EPA has been lacking transparency, they ought to have their feet held to the fire on this point. What they should not be demonized for is the claim that the mine owners were overlooked and ignored when EPA came knocking.
The pro-Pebble people would have us believe EPA shut them down before they had the chance to file a plan. And yet, they spent more than a decade pouring resources into the idea of building this mine at the headwaters of Bristol Bay. What were they doing for those 10 years? Research, development, marketing. All without a plan? Does that seem like the kind of business blunder a multibillion-dollar mining company would make?
You can only legitimately complain so long that EPA blocked you before you could file a plan before you actually file a plan. We are going on the second decade. How long does it take?
So go for it, Pebble. File your plan. Have your say.
Or is it possible that the bigger priority is to prolong the legal fight until the whole region is so bankrupt they won't be able to fight anymore?
Maybe sometimes environmental activists are the bad guys, the ill-informed. (See: Oceana's fleet of interns crafting off-base PR at an alarming rate.) And maybe sometimes the international mining companies who have no stake in the local culture, longevity of the region's most significant source of employment and subsistence are actually rapacious industrialists.
Maybe. Sometimes.

I will admit, my first instinct when writing about Oceana's latest press release was to crack wise about how Kate Mara knows the dangers of drift gillnets because a frightening experience with an entanglement led to her tragic haircut.
But that 'do wasn't the first thing I noticed in the email. I skimmed right past the celebrity eye candy and noticed that the release contains numerous errors, as most of us have come to expect from Oceana.
It's interesting to me that a group can spend so much time courting celebrities to be the face of their cause and not even bother to google whether it's legal to use gillnets in Washington and Oregon.* They say, "Washington State prohibits drift gillnets and Oregon does not allow fishermen in the state to use them." (You can also watch Mara's video on YouTube.)
For more on the drift gillnet fisheries in these states, check out our Cover Story excerpt "Up and down in Puget Sound" by Matt Marinkovich, who gillnets for chum — or keta — salmon in Washington. See also the Yearbook section in our April 2013 issue. Columbia River (Oregon) gillnetter Larry Telen graces the cover.
While it's true that Oregon's former Gov. John Kitzhaber (who resigned amid scandal recently) made an effort to restrict gillnets on the Columbia River, his alternative of allowing commercial seining isn't panning out quite as planned.
The reason being that gillnets can indeed be a highly selective gear type if used properly (the right size mesh, appropriate length and depth of the net, timing of the fishery, and even adding lights or pingers to the nets to deter bycatch).
What I have learned from reading Oceana's marketing materials is that there's almost always a better solution to the problems they claim to want to resolve.
Just today I read a great story about Massachusetts' South Shore lobstermen solving their own whale entanglement woes with more than 1,000 personal hours of research and development. Ask a fisherman to help you solve a problem, and in most cases, you'll get a pretty useful solution that saves jobs, reduces bycatch and keeps fresh fish on your plate.
National Fisherman has long celebrated fishermen who devote their own free time to these kinds of projects. Their friendly faces and calloused hands carry considerably more substance than a celebrity with a glamour shot and an empty cause.
*For the record, I googled Ms. Mara. I recognized her from "Brokeback Mountain," but I haven't had the opportunity to binge on the Netflix series "House of Cards." Suffice it to say her IMDB entry is far more impressive than her ability to choose a cause.Add a comment Add a comment

It reads like a practical joke: Weed of Stonington faces pot charges. (Traps, that is.)
But behind the amusing headline lies one of the pitfalls of a fiercely independent fleet of fishermen: they do what they want.
Benjamin Weed of Stonington, Maine, is being charged with fishing untagged lobster traps and for setting more than he was allotted in certain fishing zones. But there's more to this story than the government coming down hard on another hard-working fisherman (a rather disturbing trend, but that's a topic for another day).
The Maine lobster fleet has for years been enjoying flush landings and more recently a price jump that led to record landings value last year just shy of $457 million, and 2015 is looking up from there with a late start to coincide with the tourist season.
At the same time, the number of V-notched egg-bearing lobsters (reproducing females marked so they can consistently be thrown back whether or not they are bearing eggs at the time they are caught) is on the decline from 76 percent in 2000 to 63 percent in 2014, according to the Maine Department of Marine Resources. The last time the landings increased significantly, the percentage of V-notched egg-bearers held steady between 70 and 80 percent. So the decline is worrisome. And to some, it's suspicious. Are more Maine lobstermen slacking off on V-notching because they think the fishery is invulnerable and no longer requires strict adherence to that rule, or is some other factor at play?
Of course, lobstermen have a reputation for being suspicious of each other, even — and maybe especially — of their own neighbors. Despite their fierce independence, most of Maine's lobstermen work hard to maintain a sustainable fishery and want to know that their neighbors are doing the same. If there's a chance they're not, they are sure to be the subject of some scuttlebutt. Before the story broke, the rumor had it that Weed was fishing thousands of unmarked traps.
Rumors aside, he's likely to be held up as an example to the rest of the fleet. Weed risks losing his fishing license for a year, which is a steep price to pay when the gettin' is just gettin' good.

Catch share programs have been heralded in all corners of the country, first by NGOs and second by some of the fleet owners, fishermen and processors to whom they have brought success.
The counterbalance to those claims of success are of course the thousands of voices of fishermen and many more thousands of supporting small businesses put out of work as a result of catch share programs. But even worse, at least one catch share program was implemented with such haste that it may actually be damaging the ecosystem it was prescribed to save.
Enter: New England groundfish. In a press release yesterday, Northwest Atlantic Marine Alliance Community Organizer Brett Tolley stated, "In the five years since the catch share policy was implemented in New England, fishing rights have dramatically consolidated, community based fishermen have less access to fishing quota, and pressure on inshore fishing areas has increased."
"For many fishermen, this means a loss of our livelihood and culture. It means a break in a family tradition. And perhaps more importantly, it means future generations in these fishing families will have no access to using and stewarding the fish stocks and marine ecosystems that have sustained them for so long," said fisherman Tim Rider of Saco, Maine.
If an entire region of the country is struggling after going far above and beyond to protect their resource, then we have to consider that what we're doing to manage the resource is not effective.
No single management system will have a 100 percent success rate. Of course we should strive for that. But regardless of what happens to the New England codfish, we can say without a doubt that we did everything we could to protect that species and bring it back to no avail.
What we don't know is what's hurting us.
What we do know, we're not acting on, and that's hurting us, too.
Flexibility in Magnuson is the only way to give some New England and Southern fisheries a whisper of hope. The fishermen in these regions need legislation to push their councils to take a holistic look at fishing communities and ecosystems. How can we refuse to offer a helping hand to fellow fishermen?
They don't want help in the form of disaster money or handouts in the form of buybacks or buyouts. What they want is to be given a chance to try something new with their fishery.
In the meantime, we should be putting more effort into gear innovations and data on these fisheries and more money into marketing underutilized species like dogfish. Instead we keep leaning harder and harder on the fishermen to maintain an ineffective status quo.
As Tolley points out, stewards of the resource have made appeals and suggestions to improve the New England program. But the council has turned a blind eye to the system's flaws, which they promised at the outset to fix because they recognized five years ago that the program was shoved through in haste and was likely to be a disaster in the making.
We still have a disaster. We still have a broken system. The question is how long we will still have a fishery?

How does a company based in Hiram, Ohio, come to be a leader in marine technology? In the case of Duramax Marine, it all started in the late 1800s with maple syrup buckets. Tapping trees was and still is big business in Amish country. When the industry moved to metal buckets with lids, they needed rubber seals, which led to bearings, and the rest was history.
I'm down in New Orleans this week for the WorkBoat Maintenance and Repair show. Compared to Maine late winter/early mud season, the spring weather down here feels a might steamy. So I grabbed a chance to catch up with Mike Schonauer from Duramax to see a demonstration on their DuraCooler SuprStak keel cooler.
About a year ago, the company invested in a full-scale water tunnel to test water flow and maximize cooling efficiency. The research from that investment led to the addition of flow diverter scoops which draws water in through the cooler. While Duramax is not officially releasing their numbers while the patent is pending, they will claim a double digit increase in efficiency.
But increasing the flow through the TurboTunnel is a delicate endeavor. Too much flow, and you run into a corrosion problem. The SuprStak is designed for optimized flow that meets Tier III and IV requirements. Check it out at www.duramaxmarine.com.

A year and a half ago, the Alaska pollock industry was unpleasantly surprised when the Marine Stewardship Council announced it would extend its blue label to Russian Sea of Okhotsk pollock. Russian-trawled Theragra chalcogramma is the same species as Bering Sea walleye pollock fished by Alaska trawlers.
Alaskans were not up in arms simply because they compete in the marketplace with their Russian counterparts. The shock came because the Alaskan fishery has been banking on its own MSC certification as well as its widespread reputation for a safe working environment, one the Russian fleet does not share.
Industry leaders across the globe began again to ask the question, "How do we define sustainable?" Does it not include safe working conditions for seafood harvesters? Does it not encompass a right to fair labor practices?
I woke up early this morning to the AP alert that 132 people were on the Russian Dalniy Vostok freezer trawler when it went down in a matter of minutes overnight. At press time, 54 people had died and 15 were unaccounted for.
Immediately, the questions began running through my mind: Was the boat well-maintained? Did it have safety gear? How many of the workers understood the language spoken onboard? Were they all there of their own free will?
On that boat were 78 Russians. The 54 remaining crew included foreign nationals from Myanmar, Vanuatu, Ukraine and Latvia.
Even if the foreigners were there voluntarily, imagine being on a sinking boat with alarms blaring as announcements come over the loudspeaker but you don't understand what's being said because it's all in Russian, a language you don't know.
So what can we take away from this? The same lesson we've carried since the first big story of slave labor on Thai shrimp farms broke in 2013: By relying on seafood labels that focus on stock abundance, gear impacts and habitat but not on the working conditions of those fisheries, we are being kinder to the fish we eat than we are to the people who bring that fish to our plates.
It seems unwieldy to attempt to certify the harvesting practices of foreign products (seafood and otherwise) to verify that they are simultaneously and reliably good for us, good for the environment and good for the people who harvest them.
I'm not asking MSC to create a human rights component for its label, nor has the organization shown an interest in incorporating this element. What we can do is use the information the federal government already has to source products from countries that have clean human rights records. That puts China, Russia and Thailand on the Red List, blue sticker or no.
Their leaders will respond to marketplace demands. After all, slave labor is a response to the demand for cheap goods. We don't need a middle man to raise these issues. We know what they are and how to act. Let's make a change by hitting them where it counts: their GDP.
When you buy seafood, ask where it comes from. Retailers are required to provide this information. Make use of it. Buy American. Buy wild. Eat well.

Polis and Praxis
This provocative collection of essays seeks to clarify and redefine mainstream political and social concepts whose meaning is problematic. Their touchstone is the relation between polis and praxis - the public-political space and the political action that maintains and is conditioned by that space. The result is a stimulating and original contribution to current political discourse that explores and advocates the manifold possible levels of active political life below and above the level of the state.In an open philosophical inquiry, the author conducts a dialogue with many of this century's seminal thinkers as he takes up such topics as the plausibility of friendship as a model for political relations, the relation between political praxis and "experience," Heidegger's ontology of freedom, Foucault's treatment of power, and the merits and disadvantages of Habermasian critical theory.Fred Dallmayr is Packey Dee Professor of Government at the University of Notre Dame.
