The research was conducted in Bengkalis District which is a strategic area in Riau Province. The coastal waters of this area is located in the Strait of Malacca and known as WPP 571. Its strategic position of the area is faced with the problem of overfishing, including the fishery resources of Kurau (Eleutheronema tetradactylum). This research was conducted by using case study method. The purpose of the research was to get the Kurau fishery resources management strategy formulation by knowing; 1) exploration potency of Kurau fish resources; 2) management strategy and sustainable utilization of Kurau fish. The bioeconomic and tiered process (AHP) analysis were used in the present study. The results showed that Kurau fish has experienced overfishing by 33.42%, the natural growth rate of Kurau fish was 0.614, capture power coefficient was 0.00000020 whilst the carrying capacity coefficient was 28 820. Fishery management potency of Kurau according to MEY regime was 15,321.34 tons with catches of 4,407.72 tons and total fishing effort as much as 141,949 trips. The formulation of management strategy of Kurau fishery resources is by giving greater attention to the process of policy formulation. This alternative strategy mean that the local government policies both that devoted exclusively to the management of Kurau fish or other fishery resources should be in favour with the sustainable factor.

So last December 16-18,2010 while we were all merry making somewhere along the coast of Washington, the world's best riders met at this little, cozy place called Cali located in Colombia. The event: The UCI Track Cycling World Cup Classics. If you were up to date with all the track cycling news, then you've already read about it, seen some footage and feel the news is so last year which.. it actually is. Unfortunately though, for the casual track cycling fan it's hard to get some decent footage and coverage of this event. Until now, it seems in our humble opinion this event remains underreported. Despite the high profile riders joining, it's very hard to find some exciting videos of the event. Worse, by the time the news is reported on TV, it's already late and everyone knows the results. Some countries are lucky to receive live coverage but even the live coverage is somewhat poorly received. We decided to wait out until we can find a couple of decent footage and so by some mere chance, our very reliable friend of ours, Danny, was kind enough to show us grabbed videos of the events as well as some vertigo inducing shaky cam amateur footage from the velodrome itself. But anyway, at least we got a good look at the event. Now there really is nothing much to say about it except that somehow, the US cycling team makes a very strong showing here. Still not enough to beat the other countries but surprisingly good. Despite some crashes, the events went smoothly. You can check out the results HERE.
As usual, the same teams made it to the podium which includes our current bet for best performing team for 2011, the French team. The British also performed well proving that they are still a very formidable team. The team from Colombia performed really well showing that they too deserve to host this kind of event. Now, here are some photos of the event courtesy of Nuestro ciclismo, and copa mundo pista cali. All in all, this is very late news and you could probably read in depth analysis about the individual events elsewhere. Then again, all we can say is that, yep, the US cycling team is getting the hang of it. And hopefully in the future, they'll make it to the podium of every event.

Reds Meadow Closed
Forest Engineers completed an assessment of storm damage on Reds Meadow Road last week and are currently working on repairs. The road will remain closed as repairs are made.
This road, which accesses Devils Postpile National Monument, Reds Meadow and the Rainbow Falls trailhead, has receive storm damager after the substantial snowpack from this winter and the subsequent melt-off and flooding.
Engineers evaluated a series of longitudinal cracks along the edge of the road and determined that these areas are more stable than anticipated. However, crews have been and will be placing concrete barriers and K rail along these areas to keep vehicles off these cracks to prevent further degradation.
Engineers also determined that one area of the road has been compromised and is unsafe for large vehicle traffic such as buses. In this area, a substantial crack was seen near the middle of the road. Crews will need to stabilize this segment of the road by placing layers of compacted fill, reconstructing the damaged culvert and placing concrete curbing to further stabilize the road bed. That work begins today, Monday, July 17.
"We are reluctant to estimate an opening date at this time," said Mammoth and Mono Lake Deputy District Ranger Margie DeRose. "Until we are able to see the full nature of the problem when we remove the damaged portion of the road, we cannot be certain of the full extent of the needed repairs."
The Reds Meadow and Devils Postpile romaine closed to vehicles, but bicycles and pedestrians are permitted as long as they avoid areas of construction and wait until they are cleared to travel through construction areas.
When repair of the road is underway, pedestrians, bicycles and essential administrative traffic may be permitted through only during certain time windows so that this work can be completed as quickly as possible.
"We understand how special this valley is to our visitors, residents and the local economy," said Forest Engineer Nora Gamino. "These repairs are necessary for safety and to keep this narrow mountain road open for the upcoming years. Engineering is dedicating all of its resources to getting this road open as soon as is possibly safe."

The morning began like every morning, with Hubs quietly bringing me my cup of coffee while I was still in bed.
But on this day, instead of putting my coffee on my nightstand and opening the curtains a bit, he gingerly sat on our bed. His presence felt heavy. Burdened.
And I knew. My sleepy, half-awake brain knew something was deeply, darkly wrong.
I bolted up in bed, startling him, causing him to almost spill the coffee he was about to offer me.
What is it? I spluttered, my words unclear, my mouth dry. Hubs was staring at me, eyes welling up. The unsettling sight caused my stomach to knot. I felt fear closing my throat. I heard labored breaths.
It's your dad, he said. You have to call your mom.
He was going to say more, but I interrupted him, thinking I'd spare him the dreaded words: He's dead. My dad's dead.
His head shook no. He had a major stroke. But he's alive. He held out the yellow mug. Here. Drink.
Shaking hands passed to shakier hands. Shakier hands held cup to lips.
I sipped, not tasting. My beloved morning coffee had no flavor.
But I drank. I drank that coffee, willing it to calm my nerves, restore some sanity, give me the strength to call my soon-to-be-widowed mother. And then I dialed.
Come home, she said. Get on a plane. We don't know how long he has. Hurry.
Hanging up the phone, I viewed my room through murky eyes. Lead legs waded through thick air to the closet. Grab the suitcase. Pack dark clothes. Wear black. Find a sweater.
I opened a drawer and leaned on it for support, but gravity pulled my chest to the floor and my body shook with sobs.
My daddy's dying. My daddy's dying. I gasped, sobbed, heaved as I began to be swallowed up.
Hubs' long, strong arms appeared and encircled me. His body tented over mine as he held off the dark fog so I could breathe.
The sobs began to subside. I felt air return to my lungs. I breathed deep and leaned on my love as he helped me to my feet. He pushed my hair out of my eyes and looked into them, infusing me with strength. We need to focus. We need to catch a plane, he said.
Yes, I said. We need to focus. We need to catch a plane. And I climbed in the shower, breathing deep, letting the hot water scald the remaining fog off my skin.

There's a damn good reason Sean Penn's 18-year-old son recently stripped down to his skivvies and hung out with a bunch of lingerie-clad models -- HE'S SEAN PENN'S SON!!!
No, the almost-nudity wasn't for an "Eyes Wide Shut" style sex party (unfortunately) ... TMZ has learned Hopper Penn wants to follow his father's footsteps into Hollywood and picked up a lead role in a racy new short film called, "Back in the Game."
TMZ spoke with the producers who tell us the movie is a psychedelic trip about a cowboy ... who meets a bunch of hot babes in the desert... and parties his ass off with 'em at a Bev Hills mansion. It's kinda trippy ...
We're told Hopper is serious about pursuing a career in film -- and he's already won over the models who were on set ... one of whom told us, "Hopper was awesome to work with ... and hot!"

How To Become A Bounty Hunter On Twitter
A lot of businesses jump onto Twitter and instantly start trying to recruit as many followers as they can. From a marketing perspective this makes about as much sense as putting an ad for a retirement village into a teenage girls magazine; you'd completely miss your target market.
Twitter is no different to other mediums you may choose to market your business; your goal should be to reach your target demographic with your message – anyone outside of that is wasted effort.
Bounty Hunter Tips
So how do you zero in on your target market like a bounty hunter zeroes in on their mark? Here are 5 tips to help you get started:
Search the lists of closely related users: For example, if you were an author in a particular niche, you could go to Amazon and check which authors are the best sellers in your niche. Then find the profiles of these authors on twitter, and start following their followers. Be sure to try and avoid the ones that look like spammers or bots. You'll probably find after going through the first few that you're pretty bored of the process, however you should have followed a significant number of new people who are likely to follow you back, since they've shown they're interested in what you have to offer.
Use twitter advanced search: Twitter's advanced search tool is highly under utilized for this purpose. Not only can you search for specific terms related to your industry or field – you can narrow it down to a geographic level. All you have to do is enter the keywords relevant to your industry, along with the geographic location you'd like to target – and you'll be provided with all the tweets matching your search in real time. Then all you need to do is go through the tweets and analyze the users to find the ones who are relevant to your account, or who's problems you can solve. This people are likely to not just follow back, but follow your tweets as well.
Tailor your content: The content you post on Twitter says everything about your brand image, and will also determine the kind of people that follow you. By analyzing your target market and assessing the kind of content that will be of most interest to them, you'll be able to recruit a much more relevant following.
Run comps with targeted prizes: Similar to tailoring your content, running competitions with prizes that are selected based on being of specific interest to your target market will help deliver a highly relevant following. Avoid generic prizes such as cinema vouchers or cash prizes which will attract anyone looking for freebies, and select prizes which will be of particular interest to your target audience.
Start Hunting
With these handy tips in your arsenal you can avoid wasting time attracting followers who offer no value to your business. Additionally, you should start noticing a much higher quality in your following, increased engagement and most importantly better lead generation.
What technniques do you use for targeting on Twitter?

Hi, I have just bought a TC-08 and USB to Serial adapter for my laptop. However, after following the instructions to install the USB to Serial adapter it does not appear as "U232 Serial on USB Port (COM3)" under the port list in Device Manager. It does however appear as "USB Human Interface Device" in Device Manager.
When first attached to the PC, XP does not recognise it as "Pico USB-PP parallel port" as per the PICO manual. It appears as a "Serial Mouse device" instead.
The TC-08 unit works fine via the serial port on the back of my main PC, but until the USB to Serial connection is working fine I can't use it with my laptop.
Is there a way to resolve this problem?

Title: The Science of Choice.
Author: Lell.
Rating: PG.
Warnings: Spoilers for Soul Society arc.
Summary: Rangiku gets Aizen, she really does; Tousen too. The one she doesn't understand is Gin… Rangiku, Gin and the nature of betrayal.
Rangiku gets Aizen, she really does. Or at least she gets why he did the awful thing that he did (and she knows that awful doesn't do his deeds justice – abhorrent, detestable, appalling sound more dramatic, but are still just as inept at describing the degree to which Aizen Sousuke has shaken their stable world) because she knows what it's like to want something so badly that the fibres of your soul begin to tear at the seams. He wanted power, and she can understand that. A day doesn't go by that a person doesn't wish they had the capability to do more, or so she reckons.
And Aizen wanted it more than most, so Rangiku can, to some degree, understand that the destruction of the world is a small price to pay in his eyes for the achievement of his dream.
Dreams. Everyone has them.
And she gets why Tousen did it because, seriously, the guy didn't do anything other than talk about the least bloodstained path, yadda yadda yadda. Frankly, Rangiku hadn't given much of a toss about him when he hadn't been a traitor. She wouldn't care about his leaving all that much were it not for the fact that she likes Shuuhei and she knows the bitter almond taste of betrayal too well not to be angry on his part.
She doesn't condone Tousen's leaving or Aizen's betrayal and her heart swells with something like disgust for their actions, but shedoes understand why.
The one she doesn't understand is Gin.
The others had reasons, a cause, motivation. Gin did not and his absence is like a slender, gilt-touched needle lodged in her breast that tears her up inside when she breathes. Elegant, while still exquisitely and excruciatingly painful. He too left behind a broken and betrayed vice-captain and Rangiku has made it her duty to gather the abandoned three under her jaded and experienced wing. Looking at Kira sleep with the tears still running down his face as he does so, Rangiku wonders what possible reason Gin had to leave this place behind, but only when she's stubborn enough to pretend that she doesn't understand.
In truth, part of her knows that he probably did it because it seemed an amusing venture at the time.
This is possibly the worst betrayal of all.
Author's Notes:
Well, after however many years of being in the Bleach fandom, I finally have something to offer up in return for all the wonderful stories I've found scattered around. And while not perhaps equivalent exchange, I'm eager to try my hand and get better!

Helen Wyman Returns to Nittany Lion Cross
Nine-time British National and Two-time European Cyclocross Champion Helen Wyman returns to Breinigsville, PA for the 11th annual Nittany Lion Cross. It will also mark the debut for the NEXT-Wyman project; an initiative planned to try to fill the void between the sports leading riders and the up and coming individuals that struggle alone to reach those heights.
When asked about he return to Nittany Cross, Wyman said "Nittany was one my first US races, and has always been a favorite of mine. I can't wait to get back to Breinigsville to take on the challenges of the fast course once again. This year I'll also be traveling with Amira Mellor from the UK, who'll be representing NEXT-Wyman, and I'm really proud her first race of the season, and the first race ever for NEXT-Wyman will be Nittany."
Wyman will be one of the favorites amongst what promises to be a deep and star studded field at "Nittany" in mid-September.

Raf Simons Opens His Atelier—and Shares His Label—to Artist Sterling Ruby for the Most Complete Designer/Artist Collaboration Yet
On January 15, Raf Simons will show his new men's collection in Paris. Except it won't be his name on the label. Or at least, not his alone. "For one season, the brand 'Raf Simons' will not exist," the designer boldly declares. Instead, he'll be sharing the billing with Sterling Ruby (above, right), "one of the most interesting artists to emerge in this century," according to The New York Times. Same could be said for Simons, of course, but, on the surface at least, that looks like the only thing they'd have in common. Whether painted, sculpted, dripped, slopped, or bronzed, Ruby's work is extravagantly physical, monumentally messy—or messily monumental. Simons' isn't. Extravagantly emotional, maybe, but otherwise a masterwork of purity and precision. But we know that surfaces deceive. Designer and artist are, in fact, a perfectly compatible duo. "We have similar sensibilities that surface when we speak about music and art," Ruby confirms. "And even before our collaborations, we were talking a lot about textiles."
Those collaborations have included the interior of the Raf Simons store in Tokyo and a handful of outfits from Simons' first couture show for Dior, which referenced Ruby's paintings. But this time it's radically different. "Fashion has a long interest in collaborative situations," explains Simons, "but what interests me now is to say that this is not just a collaborative thing, not just asking someone in my field to do the knitwear or the bags. This is all the way, all the way. There is not one shirt, one shoe, one sock that is not from our mutual thinking process."
The challenges such an endeavor presents seem obvious. Geography, for one, when the creative process so physically involves one person based in Antwerp and another in L.A. Simons insists that even if Ruby wasn't at every fitting, every single decision was made jointly.
Then, on some level, there is surely the issue of dimensionality, meaning the scale of Ruby's own work versus menswear's dimensions (there are rumors of a coat composed of seventy-five different types of fabric, which sounds pretty, er, massive). But that was a challenge Simons saw as his own: for the designer to find solutions to technical issues so the artist's creativity wouldn't be restricted. "It was less of a challenge than you might think," Ruby offers. "I have been thinking about my studio as a kind of Bauhaus. In the last couple of years, I have been producing my own work clothes to wear at the studio, work shirts, pants, and jumpsuits. They are made from bleached denim and canvas, materials that I also use to make some of my artworks. In my work I have been thinking about the moment the utilitarian object becomes an aesthetic object."
The last Raf Simons collection for men offered a shiny Warholian pop/art vision of the evolution of product in a synthetic world. This one promises the polar opposite: do-it-yourself handcraft dewed with the sweat of an honest workingman's brow. That hypermasculine image is very much in keeping with the spontaneity and physicality of Ruby's work. "But what shouldn't be forgotten about the rawness of Sterling's work is that it's about someone who takes complete control as a person and an artist," Simons points out. It's a paradox he explored in his own early work, when his designs twisted the raw DIY ethos of the punk, new wave, and electronic scenes he loved into intensely disciplined dissertations on youth culture. Those days—before everything got so much more "industrialized," as he puts it, for him—have been on his mind a lot lately. "When you're thinking about a new collection," he says, "your own history is very much in your thoughts."
Even before the collection is subjected to the jury of public opinion, the experience has had a transformative impact on its protagonists. "Very liberating," says Simons. "I know this independence is what people like most about my brand." For Ruby, it's been an education in the unholy speed of the fashion industry. "It seems like an endless cycle for designers, and they make decisions so fast," he says. "I am thinking about how I could incorporate that kind of immediacy into my own work."
Simons is keen to underscore once more the essence of the project. It is not a simple collaboration, a case of a designer bringing in an artist to create a T-shirt or a bag. But nor do the creators want what they've done to be perceived as art. January 15′s show space has been carefully selected so that it couldn't possibly be construed as an "art" environment. (This from a designer who showed last season at **Larry Gagosian'**s newest Paris gallery.) "We are making a men's fashion collection, not an artwork," Simons insists.
But logic is equally insistent. With the Simons/Ruby collection being one of the most attractive and fully conceived offspring of fashion and art's courtship, there will undoubtedly be people who prefer to hang the clothes on their walls. Simons is typically unfazed. "As much as we feel free to do this, anyone who buys it should feel free to do whatever they want with it."

P0195 code definition
Engine Oil Temperature (EOT) sensor malfunction
What the P0195 code means
The intended purpose of this code is to indicate if there is a problem with one of the circuits that monitor the engine oil temperature. However, if there are cooling system problems, the diagnostics designed to confirm the proper operation of the EOT can interpret the results as a failure in the EOT system. For this reason, cooling system issues need to be addressed first.
What causes the P0195 code?
- Faulty engine oil temperature sensor
- Problems with the EOT circuit
- Faulty powertrain control module (PCM)
- Cooling system malfunctions
What are the symptoms of the P0195 code?
The only symptom is a Check Engine Light. The EOT system is there to detect other problems with the vehicle. If the circuits of the EOT system has problems, it will be unable to monitor the oil temperature.
How does a mechanic diagnose the P0195 code?
A scan tool should be used to watch the sensor data, but most often, a resistance check is performed on the sensor and is the final test performed before determining the source of the P0195 code.
Common mistakes when diagnosing the P0195 code
A technician chooses to replace the sensor without checking the wiring going to and from the EOT sensor.
Failing to check the reference voltage the PCM provides to the sensor.
Not identifying problems with the cooling system that can mimic the data that sets this code.
How serious is the P0195 code?
The P0195 code by itself is not serious. It will not leave an owner stranded on the side of the road. However, if the system is left unrepaired, it is possible that severe engine damage can occur if the EOT system is unable to detect the problems that it is suppose to monitor for.
What repairs can fix the P0195 code?
- Replace the EOT sensor
- Repair any damaged wiring in the EOT circuit
- Sensor connector
- Repairing or replacing the PCM (although this is fairly rare)
- Repairing any cooling system issues
Additional comments for consideration regarding the P0195 code
A P0195 code is a generic code that all manufacturers can use and must always retain the same definition. The P0196 code is most commonly used for a wider variety of vehicles.
Each manufacturer utilizes a different diagnostic method for the testing of this system. Even then, it is often used in performance vehicles that are designed to be driven very hard. Driving in racing conditions pushes the vehicle to the limits of its engineering beyond what an everyday driver will experience. For this reason, an EOT system is not common on most vehicles.

So what can we expect from the Minnesota Twins this postseason? Well, we can most certainly count on them being the underdog, even though they have home field advantage over the New York Yankees in the ALDS. The Yankees, who backed their way into the playoffs thanks to the hardcore Tampa Bay Rays, are not only the defending World Series Champs, but they have lots of guys who are damn good on their team. Then again, so do the Twins.
Justin Morneau, My Canadian Crusher, has been experiencing post-concussion symptoms ever since his head was mangled by a wayward Blue Jay knee on July 7 and won't be doing anything but kicking it on the bench the rest of the way. I'm totally fine with that, because Michael Cuddyer, who should probably put those dimples away this instant, has been crushing it at first base.
Then there's Joe Mauer. Tall dark and wholesome. Man Muscles. I don't really need to go into great detail concerning what a total badass he is, do I? Mauer decided not to be such a showoff this season, so he only hit nine bombs and drove in 75 runs. However, he made up for that with 167 hits, including 43 doubles, and some swell game-calling behind the plate. Also, his knee feels fine, so he's going to be awesome and you know it.
Denard has been Spantastic, Delmon Young is 30 pounds lighter and swings a gorgeous bat, Jason Kubel has been irreplaceable, and don't even get me started on the infield.
Third baseman Danny Valencia. Man that kid can play baseball. And he does it best under high pressure situations, which comes in handy during the month of October. J.J. Hardy and Orlando Hudson make a super double play combo up the middle, and the bench is chock full of scrappy little guys like the head-first-diving-into-first-base-on-a-poorly-executed-bunt Nick Punto.
And then there's Jim Thome, every Twins fan's new favorite. Jim Jam plans on mashing home-made tater tot hot dish all the way to his first World Series ring, especially since his 40-year-old back is feeling much better these days.
Francisco Liriano will face CC Sabathia during game one Wednesday night, and if Minnesota wins that one, they'll rest easier with Carl Pavano, Brian Duensing and Nick Blackburn (the only starter to have beaten the Yankees not once, but twice this season) on the hill for game four if necessary.
Both of these teams sucked during the final leg of the season, which makes their momentum (or lack thereof) fairly evenly matched. Just because the NY Media thinks this series will be a piece of cake for the Bronx Bombers doesn't make it true. Didn't your mother tell you that you can't believe everything you read on the internet? Minnesota's pitching has been stellar with a better team ERA, not to mention a guy whose mustache clearly has super powers.
If you've never been to Target Field, I suggest you get your butt there as soon as possible. While you're there, you're almost guaranteed a Twins win, since they went 53-28 at home this year. Seriously though, that's pretty good. Actually, it's the best mark in the American League.
I'll be furiously waving my homer hanky Wednesday evening, slamming ice cold beers, and eating at least one sloppy Murray's steak sandwich in section 303. Come say hi!

Uncle Sam: Scientist
During the last century, America soared to the top of the world in science and technology. The United States outstripped all other countries in the number of science-related Nobel prizes awarded, in bringing new biotechnical products to the market, and in the amount of money spent on basic research.
Here, at the beginning of the 21st century, however, Uncle Sam's position of strength is in peril, hamstrung by the triple-whammy of reduced federal funding for basic research, a flagging biotech industry, and a public education system so rife with inadequacies that it is failing to turn on young people to careers in the sciences.
Ironically, at the same time that the United States is trying to hold on to its frontrunner status, countries like China and Singapore, among others, are muscling up and making massive federal commitments to support research and technology. These nations are banking on a concept that some now see as the backbone of economic wealth in the new century: innovation. Investment in innovation creates new industry, strengthens the national education system and improves the well being of the citizenry at large.
"The genius of the American system is the ability to create new things based on new knowledge," adds Ellen Wright Clayton, M.D., J.D., professor of Pediatrics and Law at Vanderbilt University.
"And if we don't have that, then I think it really affects the vitality of the country. I think that it really is based on creativity, and without that, the heart's gone."
J. Michael Bishop, M.D., chancellor of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), is optimistic that, given its past, the nation will rise to the challenge of its future – in biomedicine as well as the equally competitive areas of engineering and computer science.
"For the moment, we still have the front rank in the world in biomedical science," says Bishop, who shared the 1989 Nobel Prize in medicine with Harold Varmus, M.D., for their discovery of oncogenes.
In addition, Americans have shown unique insight by forging alliances between academicians and businesspeople, translating fundamental research findings into products that are useful at the bedside and in the marketplace. Plus, the United States has fostered an enclave of venture capitalists who helped create a thriving trade in biotechnology.
"No other country has had a community of investors that even vaguely resembles the biotech venture capitalists in the U.S.," Bishop says. "We've dominated the scene."
Americans tend to be a practical people, and their scientific history reflects that. Prior to the 19th century, American science was famously empirical, unlike the science going on in most of Europe, which was largely based on theory and experimentation.
People in the United States applied their ingenuity to the high-tech endeavors of the day, such as the steel industry, in building bridges, roads and canals, in solving health problems caused by contaminated water systems. Yet while the physical and engineering sciences were booming, Americans lagged behind their European colleagues in the medical sciences, such as biology and physiology. Medical schools served as certificate factories, requiring only four months of study or less, and most were unaffiliated with universities or hospitals.
In the early 20th century, Abraham Flexner, Ph.D., changed that scenario. Charged by the Rockefeller Foundation to evaluate all the medical school programs in the country, in 1910 he issued the "Flexner Report," demanding that medical education require a rigorous course of study in the basic sciences and classical languages.
In response, the Rockefeller and other philanthropic foundations donated $154 million to improve the quality of American medical education. These unprecedented dollars from the private sector spurred states to begin channeling money into universities, launching an era of governmental, institutional and foundational support for biomedical science that remains in effect today.
Also in the early 1900s, the agency that was the precursor to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) moved from strictly focusing on infectious and contagious scourges like cholera and yellow fever, to developing vaccines and antitoxins, and then to investigating noncontagious problems, like pellagra, that were caused by dietary deficiencies.
Immigrant spirit
Some of these needs arose as immigrants, escaping wars, oppression and poverty overseas, poured onto American shores, causing public health issues to bubble up to the surface of the American consciousness. Many of these immigrants also brought with them something else – a background based in scientific theory.
Explains Cyrus Mody, Ph.D., an assistant professor at Rice University who teaches about the history of innovation and technology, "During the 1920s and '30s, some of those immigrants – and especially the children of immigrants -- really started to penetrate into the American scientific elite."
For example, the three American physician-researchers who were primarily responsible for the polio vaccine were of immigrant Jewish stock: Albert Sabin was born in Russia, Hilary Koprowski was from Poland, and Jonas Salk was born in America to Russian immigrant parents. Spanish-American biochemist Severo Ochoa won the 1959 Nobel Prize for his work on the synthesis of RNA. French-born Nobel laureate Andre Cournand came to the United States in 1930 and later helped develop cardiac catheterization, a technique that revolutionized treatment of heart disease.
Essentially, as a new pool of intellectuals began establishing laboratories in the U.S., the quality of biomedical science quickly vaulted to the top of the chain.
The Depression almost destroyed this progress when the endowments for many foundations supporting research crashed with the stock market. Thanks to the efforts of Louisiana Senator Joseph E. Randall, Alabama Senator (Joseph) Lister Hill and others, the U.S. government stepped in and began funneling money into the NIH to support basic scientists working on fundamental medical research, and to prevent America from losing its edge in this arena.
The aftermath of World War II solidly established the NIH as the major player in American biomedicine. For the first time, leaders realized that federal investments in basic research could actually shore up a struggling economy. Largely under the directorship of James A. Shannon, M.D., Ph.D., the NIH budget expanded from $8 million in 1947 to more than $1 billion in 1966. What's more, those dollars had a direct impact on state revenues, because they were spread to 128 academic medical centers scattered across the country.
"Research dollars flow back into the local community with a five-fold multiplier effect," notes Heidi Hamm, Ph.D., chair of Vanderbilt's Department of Pharmacology.
For the next 35 years, various presidents and legislators continued to grow the NIH budget, convinced of the parallels between personal health and economic health, between innovative research and international leadership.
The hallmarks of American research have been its lack of hierarchy and its encouragement of independence. Grants submitted by young investigators are evaluated on a level playing field with grants submitted by senior scientists, even by Nobel laureates. Researchers are allowed to pursue their personal areas of interest, and even to change course if they so choose.
Also, they are not limited to government funding, as a number of private foundations, notably the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), provide substantial support for basic biomedical research. The career trajectory of Harvard's Douglas Melton, Ph.D., illustrates this distinction.
An HHMI investigator, Melton was studying the developmental biology of frogs, when his infant son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Anxious to address the needs of his child, Melton turned his attention to stem cell research. He later approached the scientific review team at HHMI, explaining why and how he wanted to switch directions and study pancreatic beta cells. The reviewers examined his proposal and agreed to continue his funding. Melton is now one of the leading stem cell researchers in the world.
The advantage to this system, which is fairly unique worldwide, is that it's a tremendous motivator to young scientists, says Steven McKnight, Ph.D., professor and chair of biochemistry at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. "If they succeed, they get all the credit for their discoveries," McKnight says. "The flip side is that if they fail during four, six or eight years in the lab, they don't get tenure and they lose their jobs. Job security depends upon success."
Based on any number of measurements, this system of rewards has tended to breed excellence. Americans have surpassed their European and Asian counterparts in the number of breakthrough discoveries, an advantage that continued throughout the George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton presidencies.
Economic drain
The trend of increased federal support came to an abrupt halt, however, during the George W. Bush administration, which funded the NIH at a flat level, amounting to a negative sum gain in research grants when factoring in the inflation rate.
Scientists complain that the flat NIH budget is squelching innovation and slowing progress. In the neurosciences, for example, the funding crunch has essentially squandered momentum that was blazing new inroads in the 1990s, the "decade of the brain," asserts Randy Blakely, Ph.D., director of the Vanderbilt Center for Molecular Neuroscience.
During this period, "we saw the convergence of the disciplines of molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, brain imaging, developmental biology and translational work," Blakely says. "We got up to speed to really tackle most, if not all of the major brain diseases. Then we geared down."
This has happened at a most inopportune time, he continues. The American population is aging, which automatically puts more people at risk for neurological diseases of the elderly, like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Also, soldiers returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with neurological problems and traumatic brain injuries are taxing the boundaries of current medical knowledge.
Inadequate funding of research ultimately is a drain on the economy, scientists insist.
"Biomedical science is a huge part of the economic engine of this country," says Jeff Balser, M.D., Ph.D., dean of the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and associate vice chancellor for Health Affairs. "Science is fueling start-up companies and industry because it's discovered, published. It's information available that those companies use to do their next thing."
NIH is the powerhouse for the discoveries necessary for the development of new drugs. "If we lose our superiority in that area, it's going to be one more area that we're not exporting in," Oates argues. "We'll have to go back to making shoes and sending them to China."
Jack Dixon, Ph.D., HHMI's chief scientific officer and former dean for Scientific Affairs at the University of California, San Diego, agrees.
"I think it's essential to be on the front-end of discovery," Dixon says. "The molecular biology revolution, if you want to call it that, is based upon discoveries that happened in academic labs across the country. We have dozens and dozens of drugs and compounds on the market today that wouldn't have happened if we hadn't had those early discoveries taking place in the United States."
This view is not universally shared. Slipping in science should not affect the nation's bottom line, some observers argue, because we can simply exploit discoveries made by others.
According to Christopher Hill, Ph.D., professor of public policy and technology at George Mason University, companies as diverse as Google and Wal-Mart have become wealthy not by applying research conducted in the United States, but "by structuring human work and organizational practices in radical new ways."
In an article published in the policy journal Issues in Science and Technology in March 2007, Hill maintained that the United States has already begun to move into what he calls a "post-scientific society," one in which "the leading edge of innovation … whether for business, industrial, consumer, or public purposes, will move from the workshop, the laboratory, and the office to the studio, the think tank, the atelier, and cyberspace."
Harvard economist Richard Freeman, Ph.D., agrees. He told The New York Times in April 2008 that Americans should worry less about their nation's research status and more about "developing new ways of benefiting from scientific advances made in other countries."
While it is true that, especially in this age of ubiquitous electronic communications, scientific advances made in one country are almost-instantaneously shared with the rest of the world, there still are strong arguments in favor of retaining a leadership position in research.
For one thing, a lively and well-supported scientific enterprise has characterized countries, dating back to ancient Greece, that have had a transformative impact on the world. "It's not a prediction," says Melton, "it's sort of a fact, based on history, that if we don't invest in science and education, we will become a second-rate country."
For another, "homegrown" biomedical research can be more readily applied to solving the unique health challenges that emerge from the nation's ethnic and genetic melting pot.
Strength in diversity
The recent revolution now driving our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of disease means that for the first time we may be able to solve some of the age-old riddles confronting portions of our population: why cystic fibrosis, for example, occurs more commonly among people of Northern European descent, why Pima Indians have such a high rate of diabetes and obesity, and why African-American women are more likely to die of breast cancer than their white counterparts.
Studies of diverse minority groups also can advance an entire field of inquiry. For example, the BRCA1 and BRCA2 cancer genes were identified by researchers trying to find out why Ashkenazi Jews had a higher risk of developing certain breast and ovarian cancers. By isolating the genetic, environmental and dietary variations among America's ethnic subsets, scientists can better understand how certain diseases progress in the greater population.
"The idea that fundamental research can go on elsewhere, and then we can optimally translate it into our healthcare system I think is an illusion," argues Clayton, who directs the Vanderbilt Center for Biomedical Ethics and Society.
"It's like the way most people use a computer … They more or less can get stuff done, but because they don't have a clue how it works, they don't maximize the extent to which they use it."
"When you have individuals who have been affected by these diseases in our educational pipeline, when you have people of color, Asian Americans, African Americans, Hispanics, etc., some of them are going to be interested in conducting research in these areas," Hill argues. "When bright, inquisitive men and women from a wide variety of backgrounds attack these problems, we have a much better chance of getting to the answers that much faster."
As powerful as these arguments may be, they may not persuade, given all of the other economic and security challenges facing the country. But wouldn't it be interesting if the answers to our current flailing economy and inroads to world peace were found not in the halls of Congress or on the floors of Wall Street, but rather in the basic science laboratories of the United States?
"I'm hopeful that the collapse of the U.S. financial industry will make it clear to the leadership and to the American public that science and technology have been and must be the source of our future economic health," says Bruce Alberts, Ph.D., professor of biochemistry and biophysics at UCSF and past president of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS).
Alberts and others realized that they could best serve the greater good by sharing the newfound information rather than hoarding it. And such has been the case. Releasing the human genome map to the world has launched new exploration into human genetics and into targeted therapies for treating individual patients.
"The scientific community may still be the only truly global community," says Bishop, UCSF's chancellor. "And one of the greatest satisfactions for me is being a part of that community – a community that is by and large unselfish, by and large sharing. One where we're working towards a common purpose across nations, one in which we're speaking the same language, not only linguistically, but in terms of ethos and ambition."
Bishop concedes that his view is optimistic. "But (we) believe that since science is the strongest and most cohesive global community in the world, it can be the catalyst for international cooperation and peace among nations."

I assume they will have to stretch out the season and play them to determine the best record (vice the Reds) in the National League.Thoughts? Facts?
"Vice"? The Marlins were eliminated a long time ago.
They'd have to play the matches since, at least as of the league tables as of this morning, these matches are still meaningful to the Nationals in terms of post-season seeding (vis-a-vis the Reds, as you state).Chances of rain, per weather.com just now:Today - 70% [it's raining outside my office window right now]Tomorrow - 60% [this has increased over the past couple of days - rules out doubleheader if rained out tonight?]Thursday - 20%Friday - nil
[...]So as long as the weather is good tomorrow, it's relatively straightforward, the interesting question becomes, what if they are unable, due to weather, to play one or both games, and one or both are still meaningful. Play Thursday?
I wonder if they'd schedule the first game for Wednesday at 10 AM in order to maximize the chances of getting both games played tomorrow.
I'd love it! [just like I liked the early start on the Fourth of July; taking all day off tomorrow]
Adam Kilgore just sent out a tweet that Gorzelanny is starting tonight's game instead of Gio Gonzalez.
Then I guess we'll see Eury Perez pitch.
Has Eury Perez played defense in the majors at any point this season? I don't even remember what position he allegedly plays.

The Price of Gasoline: How it Rises and Falls
The price of gasoline fluctuates with several markets, not only the retail market of service stations. In fact, when looking at the national average gasoline at the pump, the international crude oil market is the single biggest factor determining the price.
International crude oil prices can change according to what OPEC, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, decides to do, because they own most of the world's proven oil reserves and produced about 40 percent of the world's oil supply in 2010. OPEC is the largest entity involved in crude oil production, and it holds prices at a particular level by slowing production and withholding supply.
In general, when economic growth slows globally, demand for crude slows and the price of oil drops, which is reflected back at the pump.
Oil prices can also fluctuate because of oil traders, those who buy and sell crude oil before it's refined into fuels and other products. Traders are very sensitive to political instabilities – well before there are actual restrictions on oil supply – such as occurred during the Egyptian revolution of 2011, when oil prices increased as oil traders worried about crude traveling through the Suez Canal, even though only 2 percent of the world supply ships through that waterway, which is controlled by Egypt.
The events and conditions that convince oil traders to buy and sell are sophisticated and carefully tracked by authorities here and internationally because oil is so critical to the global economy. However, even though many monitor oil prices carefully, the market can be manipulated. For example, in May 2011, the United States government alleged that Australian and American oil traders fraudulently restricted supply to hike up crude prices. U.S. Suit Sees Manipulation of Oil Trades.
Note: the Transportation and Marketing costs in the above chart were calculated by the Energy Information Administration as the remaining difference between the average retail cost and the other three components.
Regionally, the price of gasoline can change because of local competition, rents, local laws, and temporary shortages, particularly if there's a limited amount of refined oil. Some states are just plain closer to the refineries, and some states have emissions-related requirements for gas that limit the source of gas to certain refineries.
Californians pay some of the highest gas prices, not because their state tax rates, but because of stringent requirements on the blend of gasoline allowed to be sold. That means there are few refineries outside of California that can supply gas to the state. The elevated price is both due to limited supply from refineries and a higher refining cost.
In other states, the distance to refineries can add cost too. Hawaii is far away from almost everywhere, and it probably comes as no surprise that gasoline prices in that island state are high. Average prices by state are compiled here.
Geography and laws about what can go in the gas sold in a state contribute a lot to the price of a gallon of gasoline, perhaps significantly more than the factor that's often blamed for wide-ranging prices, taxes.
Compared to Europe, Americans pay far lower taxes on gasoline, in the range of 15 percent (see chart above) as compared to more than 50 percent for some countries. For a chart of how much tax various countries pay, go here.
The federal government applies a per gallon tax on gasoline and diesel in every state.Then, individual states and even counties add their own taxes, which can be both sales and fuel taxes. For historical and current gasoline taxes by state, you can visit the Federal Highway Administration website here. Fuel taxes are applied by the gallon. Sales tax is applied to the overall cost of the gas, by percent.
The most expensive states to buy regular gasoline in 2009 were, on average, Alaska, Hawaii, and California. The cheapest states were Kansas, Arkansas, and Tennessee, even though Arkansas, Kansas, and Tennessee all charge higher per gallon fuel taxes than California.
Californians also paid the same rate of sales tax, 6 percent, as many other states in 2010, like Michigan, Maine, Tennessee, and Minnesota. However, since their base price of gas is higher, the percent sales tax was higher too.
For recent gas prices by region, go here.
Other costs that affect the price of gas include distribution (shipping and trucking crude oil to refineries and then to consumers) and refining (turning crude oil into gasoline, a mixture of carbon-based liquids). For more information about our dependence on crude oil, see here.

I specialise in relationship counselling for individuals and couples. Most of the difficulties and worries in life can be managed if everything is alright at home but if your relationship isn't going well it can make everything else so much harder to deal with. If you're concerned about your relationship, couples counselling can help.
People come for counselling for many reasons and with a range of relationship issues. These might include affairs and betrayals, loss of sexual contact, rows, or just not feeling connected as a couple anymore. Anxiety and depression can be a cause of relationship difficulties or be caused by them. Whatever the reason, counselling sessions with me provide safe time set aside for you to consider what has been happening in your relationship and to think about what you want to do about it. Whatever you talk about in the sessions remains confidential and you can come for as many or as few sessions as you want or need.
At the first meeting you can tell me about what's concerning you and we can think together about whether counselling is the best way forward. If we agree that it is, we can decide together the frequency of sessions and appointment times. Counselling is usually on a weekly basis and at the same time each week but don't worry if that's not possible for you. I can be flexible. I have morning, afternoon and evening appointments available on Tuesday Wednesday and Thursdays.
Many couples come together for appointments, but counselling can still be helpful if your partner doesn't want to join you. Often couples are able to improve their relationship through counselling and it's most likely that this will be so for you, but sometimes during counselling couples decide to separate and if that's the case, counselling can help those couples part in a more amicable and constructive way.
Many of my clients tell me at the end of counselling that they have found it helpful because it has enabled them to talk about relationship issues that they haven't been able to take up together before, or have not been able to talk about in a constructive way. Couples counselling may not be a quick fix, but it is a way of getting to the bottom of things, resolving differences and moving on. If you'd like to discuss coming for counselling, call or email me to book your first appointment, or a free 15 minute telephone consultation.
I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.
I'm a Relate trained and qualified specialist relationship counsellor and psychotherapist. I've been working with individuals and couples since 1991.

Counterfeiting, as one of the most rapidly expanding economic crimes, poses a global threat to IP owners and their ability to capitalise on their investment.
Aside from lost revenue, counterfeiting can erode consumer confidence and, in the worst cases, can pose risks to the health and safety of consumers.
We can devise cost-effective anti-counterfeiting strategies, tailored to your requirements, which are designed to catch counterfeits at the EU border and combat perpetrators within the market. Together with a network of trusted associates, we can support you in the war against counterfeiting across the whole of the EU and beyond.
Registration of IP rights
We offer the full range of filing and prosecution services, obtaining national and European Union trade mark registrations and Community design registrations, as well as patents in all relevant jurisdictions and across all technical fields.
Customs detentions
We can register your intellectual property rights with UK Customs (HMRC), which can empower Customs authorities throughout the EU to detain suspected counterfeit goods. We work together with Customs authorities around the EU, either directly or via trusted overseas associates, to oversee each detention from initial notification through to destruction (where appropriate). We can also work with you to create brand protection guides, arrange for training of Customs officials, and utilise the new EUIPO Enforcement Database.
Out in the field
Our anti-counterfeiting team visits Customs officers and other agencies in person where necessary, especially to support complex or large-scale operations.
Trading standards and police
We work with Trading Standards and the Police across the UK to target internally traded counterfeit goods and assist the authorities in relation to specific investigations. We advise and act on obtaining interim relief, including search and seizure orders. We also issue witness statements for use as evidence in criminal prosecutions. In conjunction with overseas associates, we also coordinate similar actions involving enforcement agencies in other EU countries.
Civil and criminal litigation and private prosecutions
Our team of solicitors will seek to maximise your legal remedies, including pursuing court proceedings where necessary. We bring vast litigation experience across a variety of industries affected by counterfeiting, including the apparel, electronics, FMCG and luxury goods sectors.Our litigation services

The Dallas Foundation happens to be the oldest community foundation in the state of Texas and has vast experience in connecting donors with their causes of preference.
It uses its resources to research about the community's needs and is always, therefore, able to advise the donors accordingly to reach optimum efficiency after the disbursement of donor funds.
This organization has done funds categorization, and this has made sure that the causes one is contributing towards are very clear. These include the donor advised funds, designated funds, the field of interest funds, agency endowment funds, student scholarships and the community impact fund.
The efficiency and reactiveness of this organization has attracted a sizeable number of philanthropists who are very keen on self –directed funding which has more impact in the community.
One of these donors is Dondero, Co-founder, and president of Highland Capital Management who concentrates on giving locally. Having an annual philanthropic budget of $3 million meant that he needed to look for a strategic partner to manage these funds. A search led to the Dallas Foundation and its team of donor experts; since they had a proven track record of collaborating with communities in Texas.
James Dondero together with the CEO & President of the Dallas Foundation had to sit down and devise a working framework that would be impactful to the community leading to the formation of the Highland Dallas Foundation.inc which supports the Dallas Foundation.
Through this, James has continued being an ardent supporter of education and healthcare initiatives in the Dallas Community. James Dandero has also expounded his philanthropy to civic organizations like the Dallas Zoo.
Dondero has set the pace for impactful giving in the co-corporate world. Despite him being a global businessman, he has managed to play his role in assisting the local community of course with the help of resourceful donor planning through the Dallas Foundation.
His insightful story is one that everyone with interest in charity should emulate and draw inspiration. Other foundations should also come up with efficient structures like those of the Dallas Foundation so as to reach optimum funding from all parties.

Words of wisdom:
(refresh page for more quotes)
Suzanne Hollist, CSW
"You can't go home again!" the famous quotation from
Thomas Wolf may leave you wondering as the college year comes
to a close. The reality is that most students will be returning
home either for the summer or for a more extended time as they
graduate and get established in a job or career. There is always
a lot said about adjusting to college life, but there is another
adjustment as students return home. One of the most rewarding
relationships in life can be that between an adult child and his/her
parents, but like any other transition, there can be some rough
You may think you will be returning home to your old room,
only it is now occupied by a younger sibling, so you are expected
to camp out in the combination office and guest room or you are
expected to share your room with its new function as a greenhouse.
Since last September you have been coming and going pretty much
as you like, you return home to your old high school curfew. Conversely,
you dutifully wake your parents when you come in early in the
morning only to have them angry because you have interrupted their
sleep. You are expected to be present for all family meals and
functions, but you have other plans. You expect the old time family
meals, but your parents have fallen into another routine and are
enjoying the empty nest. You are expected to help with household
chores, but you really don't know what chores they are. You find
that your clothes when placed in the hamper don't automatically
appear clean and folded in your room the next day. You are exhausted
from final exams, the end of the year socializing, and moving
and just want to sleep for about a week. Your family is delighted
to have you home and wants your time, attention, and energy in
several activities.
While a great many of these conflicts are inevitable, some
of them can be avoided by discussing them beforehand. Ask for
a family meeting to talk about expectations about curfews, rules
about laundry and use of the washing machine, expectations around
meal times, use of the telephone and long distance charges, how
household chores are divided. If you are graduating and living
at home while you get established, you need to know if you are
expected to pay rent and how much. You will need to establish
if you can entertain friends, if you can invite friends to stay
over - of the same sex, of the opposite sex. If you don't have
your own car, you will need to discuss transportation needs. You
may need to establish privacy limits and know when boundaries
are being invaded even by noise.
There are some guidelines to follow in having a good family
meeting. Everyone involved should know those guidelines and be
in agreement. Have a clear agenda. Invite other family members
to add to the agenda. Have a set time to begin and end. If you
haven't completed the agenda in that time frame, summarize what
has been accomplished and plan another time to finish. For each
agenda item, each family member should be able to say how he or
she feels without interruption or criticism. After that you may
begin to negotiate and work until you can form a consensus. A
summary of the consensus should be stated. Sometimes it is helpful
to be more formal and put the summary statements in writing. Just
make sure that the agreements are still the same. A follow up
meeting should be planned for about two weeks to see how things
are going. Some things may need to be renegotiated. It helps if
everyone can be patient. Remember that moving back home can be
a happy experience, but it may take some energy.
Some families have more complicated challenges. They may be
going through some kind of restructuring due to retirement, illness,
death, divorce, remarriage, lose of income. There may be a home
where one or more members of the family is alcoholic. There may
be a younger sibling who is testing limits. There may be abuse
in the home. Some students may be discovering that there are problems
they didn't realize were there and somehow feel responsible for
fixing it. In fact some families may be expecting their college
student to come home and act as the chief negotiator and peace
maker. Every family is different. Every family has its own challenges.
If you would like further help in understanding your family and
where you fit, or if you would like more information on a family
meeting, call the Counseling Center at x3368.

Here is the video reading:
(the post by Wil Wheaton can be read here, which as it turns out he was quoting Jenny the Bloggess
from her post about depression which I had also read at the time and found poignant. So there's this whole circle of thought I went round without even realizing it, Woot!)
Ectothermic Corpse
In the supermarket seafood aisle
where emotions run high
because apparently the little curls
of frozen vapor
twirling up from the big display
have some field of draw
on the burning in me,
I am staring,
have forgotten what I wanted
in the overwhelming ubiquity
that is bereaved fish.
There one lay, close to me,
snugged on its bed of shaved ice
staring up with one dead eye.
'I am the sole of discretion'.
It entices me to confess.
'You look like you might need
a friend' it says.
I peer deeper into the glass jelly orb
of what it once saw with
and I hesitate,
open my mouth, feel the budding stutters
of my hem
and haw
as though this were a therapist's office,
what should I say
where to begin.
'Just begin with' he stops as though
he were thinking,
'begin with where it began'.
That's difficult to say, beginnings
can be so gradual.
I am aware of people passing
oblivious of my intimacy here,
wandering from bin to bin, choosing this
type of cheese, that package of
smoked meat.
It's nothing, really, I say.
He continues to watch me,
like someone patient, waiting for what is
clearly lingering in the corners of my mouth
and straining against the muscles of my face.
Never has the glass between me and my food
felt so transparent and unforgiving.
I shift my weight, left foot to right,
and avert my eyes from his omniscient fix.
I know I'm called out for living dead
by this ectothermic corpse but
if I had the words to describe
what makes me recede from pain into pain,
if I had a sense of where my organs
go when hiding from the great emotional lie,
I'd spit it out, gagging for air, if I could.
I can't, I whisper.
'Very well' he says and I swear
I can see his shoulder shrug.
