Gay link to Paedophilia.

I personally wouldn't allow my children to participate...If you think my worry is unfounded than so be it.
RE: Gay link to Paedophilia.
Given the current national attention that this debate has sparked recently, also the fact that most predators are "straight" males, I think I would be inclined to feel safer with my child in the company of an openly gay man. Someone already under suspicion (albeit unfounded) would have more incentive to keep his nose clean, so to speak.
But now I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

RE: Gay link to Paedophilia.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you with that question. I understand your point and at first blush it seems to be valid. But, if we consider some other criteria, I don't think it is.
As has been said above, your sons are probably safer with an openly gay man than they are with a supposedly straight man, although I disagree with the premise offered. My reasoning is this... First, we know that a plurality of sexual molestation cases involving men and boys happen between a "straight" man and a boy. We also know that the overwhelming majority of those cases involve priests or married christian men. We also know of a number of political scandals where "straight", married christian politicians have been caught with male lovers. Moreover, we know that the boy scouts is a faith based organization so we can assume that the men who are tending to our youngsters are supposedly straight, married, christians.
As was mentioned above, gays know that the bigoted population around them are acutely aware of their every move when they co-mingle. Thus, promiscuous gay men typically have a certain area of town where they can gather and do to one another what all the straight christian men are doing to one another's wives behind one another's backs. And if a gay man is a pedophile, there are much safer places he can go to find young boys to rendezvous with. NAMBLA comes to mind... and no one is watching his every move. Well, at least not for the same reasons that the bigots are. However, if a christian man is a gay pedophile he has a lot to hide. He can't be joining NAMBLA or wondering down to the local gay hangout. But.... he can volunteer to be a scout master. Even if he doesn't plan to molest a boy, he can still get some sexual gratification from simply being exposed to dozens of boys for an entire weekend. Consequently, when a "straight" man molests a boy and is caught, the story is almost always that he didn't plan to do it.... it just sort of happened. And that's true. People who are psychologically troubled often tend toward poor impulse control. Pedophiles and serial killers alike often report that they don't know why they did what they did when they did it and that they had no control over their actions.
So in the end, if you're sending your boys on weekend trips with a married, allegedly straight, christian man you are actually taking a larger chance with their safety than you would be if you sent your boys with an openly gay man. Especially an openly gay man who was in a long term relationship.

But, if we consider some other criteria, I don't think it is.Hmmm...I'm actually inclined to agree with you, excellent points. I had briefly considered closeted gays (and bisexuals), but I didn't give it enough thought obviously. Even if you're right though, perception still rules. While you may have convinced me, others would not be so easily convinced. People will see a gay man and think what I did. Therefore it may be in the organizations best interest (business-wise) to continue to bar openly gay men, or men who they perceive to be gay. If they choose to allow openly gay leaders it would not go over well with the fundamentalist Christians, Orthodox Jews, and Muslims. As I understand it the Boy Scouts have banned Atheist children until very recently (if memory serves), and are very much stepped in Christian Fundamentalism tradition. I would hate for gay men, or any other group to be barred from membership or association due to personal preferences, but they are a private cooperation and they should be able to choose to exclude who they wish as long as they are not receiving any federal funds (which they shouldn't).
RE: Gay link to Paedophilia.
I agree with you that as a private organization they should be allowed to refuse admission to gays, atheists and anyone else they choose regardless of how bigoted and narrow minded their position is. And as a supporter of voluntary association, I also encourage everyone I can to keep their children as far away from such a reprehensible organization as possible.
If, through the same ostracism they use, we can reduce the number of customers they have they will be forced to either put in place rational policies or go out of business. Of course... they could also just continue as they are and cater only to bigots, but evidence shows that humanity writ large, however slowly, is outgrowing its misanthropic tendencies so at some point they'll have to shape up or ship out.

I wouldn't want some asshole trying to tell me how I should raise my children, so I wouldn't try to impose me ideas on them.

RE: Gay link to Paedophilia.
(23-01-2013 03:48 PM)Mr Woof Wrote: A new political party here in Australia (leader Bob Katter) today claimed, through two members, the view that a link existed between gays and paedophelia. It was suggested that teaching was a problem, among other things.I will say there has a been one parallel between homosexuality and pedophilia. The way the activists for both side have gone about seeking mainstream acceptance. Scroll back 50 years or so ago and homosexuality was classified as a psychological disorder. But a great deal of effort and money has been expended by gay activists to reverse this, first starting with changing the public's perception of homosexuality from its a disease that should be avoided and treated to it's just who they are and we should love and accept them for it. I recently say a psychological study of pedophiles that was making a similar claim; that these people just have sexual desires for children and they cant help it. They never promoted societal acceptance of this, but it did strike me that they were just waiting for the time and place to do so. Maybe in a few years.......
If this is the case, we should not go down this road. Consenting adults who understand what they are getting into sexually, fine. But children have the right to be children and think and act as children. Any any kind of sexual advance on that is a violation of them IMO.

Teen homeless organizations, UC Davis Children's Hospital collaborate to
create "HealthShack"
System helps homeless Sacramento youth track their health information records
For homeless youth, finding a way to keep track of your health records can be as challenging as finding a place to lay your head. Whether your inoculations are up-to-date and what kind of birth control pill you're taking can get lost in the shuffle.
Now a new program — a joint effort between UC Davis Children's Hospital and two nonprofit youth service organizations — is taking advantage of teens' tech savvy to help them manage their health records.
Called HealthShack, it exists largely in cyberspace and gives youth who are homeless or in foster care, or who have "aged out" of foster care and don't have health insurance, a place to put their health and other personal records where they're just a secure passcode and mouse click away.
The personalized health information system, under development for the past two years, today announced a substantial boost — a grant of $400,000 from PacifiCare and United Health Group.
"Our experience with the youth we work with who are homeless or in foster care is that, if they're getting any care at all, it's very haphazard," said Elizabeth Miller, the program's co-founder and an assistant professor of pediatrics at UC Davis Children's Hospital.
"Kids need a lot of education around why you would even need a personal health record."
— Elizabeth Miller
"Kids in foster care are constantly being bounced from one place to another. We'll have a teenager come into the general pediatrics clinic and, when you take their health history and ask them for their immunization record, they'll look at you like you have three heads," she said.
To devise HealthShack, Miller partnered with two Sacramento-area nonprofit agencies serving homeless and foster care youth — WIND Youth Services and Linkage to Education. Teens in both programs were recruited to develop a Web site that would appeal to youth and meet their needs.
"Kids need a lot of education around why you would even need a personal health record," Miller said. They usually say something like 'I've never been sick. Why would I need that?'"
Miller said their point of view grows out of not receiving consistent, high-quality health care and not having enough help holding onto health records and other important personal information.
"They take the fragmentation of health care for granted and think that an emergency room is the place where primary care is supposed to happen," Miller said. "The idea that there would actually be a doctor who routinely takes care of you who would help take responsibility for your continuity of care is news to them."
HealthShack is the sibling of a health information management platform originally developed for another highly mobile group — migrant farm workers — who face similar issues of being uprooted and having multiple health-care providers.
Started in Napa and Sonoma counties nearly a decade ago, the migrant workers health information Web site — called Follow Me — now stores personal health information for migrant workers throughout the state. Its developers contacted Miller and asked if she thought it would translate to homeless youth.
Miller said that when she was approached about working with Follow Me two years ago she jumped at the chance to develop programs for some of her most vulnerable patients.
With WIND Youth Services and Linkage to Education as partners, the program was piloted with a group of six youths from each organization who became "health ambassadors" and participated in developing a Web interface that would appeal to young people.
The youths suggested incorporating a videotaped orientation to the Web site, which included counseling on confidentiality, and they advocated expanding the information to other important documents — like birth certificates and Social Security cards. They also wanted a section called "Bragging Rights," where they could put things they were proud of, like report cards.
The teen health ambassadors remain involved as peer advocates, encouraging other youth to take advantage of HealthShack.
Health information is developed when Miller and her colleague, UC Davis associate professor of pediatrics Dan Martineau, see the youth in clinic, help develop their medical histories and direct them to HealthShack. Two volunteer public health nurses at Linkage to Education and WIND Youth Services also work with the teens to input their health information into the system.
UC Davis Children's Hospital
UC Davis Children's Hospital is the Sacramento region's only comprehensive hospital for children. From primary care offices to specialty and intensive care clinics, pediatric experts provide compassionate care to more than 100,000 children each year and conduct research on causes and improved treatments for conditions such as autism, asthma, obesity, cancer and birth defects. For more information, visit the UC Davis Children's Hospital Web site.
More recently, a partnership with Sacramento State University's community health nursing program has created an ongoing relationship with public health nurses and nursing students to work with the teens to input health information into Health Shack, provide health education, and coordinate their care.
"Then, ideally the way it works is that enough of a relationship gets built so that you can say to them, 'Hey, you haven't had a pap smear in awhile,' or 'You haven't had a tetanus shot. Maybe you should go to UC Davis to see Dr. Dan or Dr. Liz so we can get this taken care of,'" Miller said.
In addition to the information included on the Web, participants in HealthShack are given a plastic identification card that includes their name, date of birth, a list of medications they are taking and other emergency contact information.
"We've learned that making a connection with youth, building on that relationship of trust, and providing them with useful tools to engage them is the way to help them maintain their health," Miller said.

Shotgun robberies under investigation in Manchester
January 29. 2013 10:42AM
MANCHESTER - An east side market and a south side motel were robbed three hours apart by a man armed with a shotgun, police said.
The first robbery happened about 9:45 p.m. at Shawn's Corner Market, 912 Somerville St. The 23-year-old clerk told police an unknown man entered the store, pointed a long-barreled shotgun at him and demanded cash from the register and a carton of Newport cigarettes.
The clerk gave him what he wanted and the robber fled the store. A police dog tracked him east on Somerville Street and then north onto Cypress Street where the trail ended mid-block. Police believe at that point the robber got into a waiting car.
About three hours later, at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, the Super 8 Motel, 2301 Brown Ave., was robbed by two men. According to the 34-year-old clerk, two men, one armed with a long-barreled weapon believed to be a shotgun, entered the motel and demanded cash from the register as well as all the clerk's money.
The clerk handed over what was in the cash drawer and the money he had in his pocket, and the men fled.
The gunman in the market robbery is described as is described as being in his 30s, about 5-foot-9 with a medium build. He wore a blue "polo" hooded sweatshirt with thick white draw strings on the hood, dark pants and dark shoes. He also wore a black ski mask and black gloves with a snowflake pattern on them.
The man with the shotgun in the motel robbery is described as a white man, about 5-foot-8 with a medium build. He was wearing a dark blue or black hooded sweatshirt, a black mask and black gloves.
The second man is described as possibly having a slight Hispanic accent. He was about 5-foot-8 with a medium to stocky build. He wore a pink pillow case with eye holes cut out of it over his head. He also work dark gloves.
Another robbery happened at 5:45 p.m. Monday in the parking lot at N.H. Walk-in Dental offices, 25 S. Maple St. A 42-year-old employee was clearing snow from a car when she was robbed by a man who pressed a gun into her stomach and stole her rings and cellphone. That robber is described as a white man in his 20s, about 5-foot-6 to 5-foot-9, with a medium build. He was clean shaven and wore a black knit hat, a black and green puffy jacket and dark pants.
Investigators are trying to determine if any or all of the robberies are connected. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call police at 668-8711. Anonymous tips for cash rewards may be made through Manchester Crimeline at 624-4040 or online at manchestercrimeline.org.

Hood Museum at Dartmouth showcases Japanese printsApril 11. 2013 12:36AM

Photos courtesy of Bruce M. White ON VIEW: Created by Torii Kotondo, the 1930 woodblock print above is titled "Morning Hair." At left, the 1920 piece by Hashiguchi Goyo is titled "Woman Combing Her Hair." Both are among the woodblock prints to be gifted by Judith and Joseph Barker to the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College in Hanover.
"The Women of Shin Hanga: The Judith and Joseph Barker Collection of Japanese Prints" includes nearly 100 examples from the Barkers' extensive collection, which focuses on Japanese print designers' focus on female subjects.
The exhibition primarily will focus on depictions of women that were created by the leading artists of the shin hanga (new print) movement of the early 20th century, a time when rapid modernization and increased contact with the West gave rise to new modes of artistic expression and female representation.
Sparking an Interest
The Barker's interest in shin hanga prints was inspired in part by Joseph's early discovery of Japanese printmaking traditions as a Dartmouth undergraduate, and the Barkers' promised gift of the works to the Hood advances a long tradition of alumni contributions to the museum's Japanese art collection.
"... Hood Museum will make an ideal home for our treasured collection of Japanese prints," said Joseph Barker, a member of the Dartmouth Class of 1966. "Judy and I hope that visitors to the Hood will discover in these works the same meticulous artistry and breathtaking beauty that has captivated us for so many years."
Whether they feature conservatively dressed women in traditional costumes or geisha, "modern girls" or nudes, the prints in the exhibition demonstrate the importance of both traditional and innovative production methods and subjects to shin hanga depictions of women. Artists focused their attention anew on hairstyles, cosmetics, clothing, and fashion accessories, the most recognizable markers of contemporary women. Woodblock carvers and printers used modern techniques to create, for example, intricately carved coiffures that reveal hundreds of individual strands of hair, and the subtle application of color to convey flesh tones and cosmetics including lip color and eye shadow. As a final touch, ground mica mixed with pigment highlights the metallic properties of the jewelry, hair ornaments, and mirrors.
The pristine quality of the works on view in The Women of Shin Hanga at the Hood Museum of Art offers a rare opportunity to experience these technological marvels within the context of a country in the throes of economic, industrial, and social modernization.
Adding to the Collection
The promised gift of the prints to the Hood represents the largest contribution to the museum's Japanese art holdings, curators said.
"The exceptional caliber of the Judith and Joseph Barker collection affords a unique opportunity to trace artists' engagement with female subjects across a pivotal period in the history of Japanese printmaking," said Michael Taylor, director of the Hood Museum.
The 66 shin hanga prints that form the core of the exhibit encompass a range of female archetypes from early-20th-century Japanese society, ranging from geisha associated with traditional practices to so-called "modern girls" characterized by their Westernized appearance and liberated lifestyle.
Also included are 24 prints published between 1767 and 1897. They provide a contextual overview of female representations in Japanese printmaking prior to the emergence of shin hanga.
The exhibit is curated by Allen Hockley, associate professor of art history at Dartmouth.

Frank Ocean's producer offers his version of the Frank Ocean Chris Brown fight...
Michael Uzowuru was answering fan questions on Formspring and says it all started when he, Frank and a guy named Chito pulled up to the studio and saw an orange Lamborgini parked in the spot marked Frank.
The formspring questions and answers have since been deleted but according to TMZ:
"Uzowuru says they told the front desk to move the car and were informed it belonged to Chris Brown. He says Chris Brown came out 10 minutes later with a "big dude" and a "skinnier dude" — and when Frank told CB, "You parked in my spot, move" … that's when it all went downhill.
Uzowuru says the big dude suddenly punched Chito in the face for NO REASON, adding … "Then instantly Chris and the other dude grab [Frank] and try to jump him." He adds, "There's no doubt in my mind the whole thing was a set up." …Uzowuru claims CB's buddy cornered Frank and pinned him up against a wall "while Chris was trying to beat the living "s**t" out of [him]." He says Frank fought back — throwing elbows and punches of his own."Michael closed with saying,
"I don't know what type of demons Chris is facing, but I hope he clears them all and finds a new life rooted in love and light."

Do you need a coach?
Coaching as a profession has been gaining more traction in recent years but professional coaching in the business space is still a concept that is a bit nebulous and poorly understood. Linchpin People (my primary business) is planning to add coaching, team, and leadership development services to our current technology offerings and I'm perusing certification and advanced training in this space so coaching is a topic that I will be coming back to on a regular basis.
I recently stumbled across a short you video clip by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. It's part of a video vignette series at money.cnn.com asking great and successful individuals and leaders from different walks of life about the "best advice I ever got". The video is only about 30 seconds. Take a peek.
In case you can't watch the video right now; Schmidt recounts some advice he was given by a senior member of the Google board when he was CEO. The board member told Eric that he 'needed a coach'. Schmidt was a bit taken a back thinking 'what, am I doing something wrong?' but the advice was basically 'no, everyone needs a coach'. Eric Schmidt became a believer and points out that a coach can offer many things to an individual including a sense of perspective and an ability to better understand how others see them.
Do you need a coach? Of course. Everyone needs a coach.

"Theaters that program more conservatively to deal with declining audiences are faring poorly," says Sabrina Hamilton, citing recent national attendance studies, "while the more adventurous ones are actually succeeding."
As artistic director of the annual Ko Festival of Performance on the Amherst College campus, she finds a measure of vindication in that trend. "We've been pioneers in the theater world in a way," she says, "and now that world is meeting us."
Ko (the name derives from the I Ching hexagram for revolution and renewal—literally, shedding an old skin) was once seen as "alternative" and risky. But its mission, shedding traditional performance structures in order to create new ones, has become something of a template for success in the ever-perilous world of theater. "Our model—artists doing devised and innovative work, and the company having an ongoing conversation with our audience—is succeeding, and it's kind of exciting," Hamilton says.
That model is paying off bigtime these days for KoFest, now in its third decade. The first show of the season was a sellout and houses have bulged gratifyingly for subsequent performances.
This season's theme, "An Intergenerational Look at Age and Aging," is also proving an attraction for audiences. After all, as Hamilton points out, "it's a topic that affects everyone."
So far, the thematic continuum has gone from the comic perils and pitfalls of midlife dating through confronting (with jokes and juggling) a parent's death to wry reflections on the things that change as you age (like your children) and those that don't (like anger at political crimes).
The theme extends into two art installations at the theater, one a series of photocollages depicting the same person photographed 20 years apart, another a circular fence on which audience members have pinned foil disks stating their age and ambitions.
In this weekend's performance, My Mind Is Like An Open Meadow, Erin Leddy of Oregon's Hand2Mouth ensemble becomes her own grandmother in a meditation on memory and mortality.
The season concludes with D-Generation: An Exaltation of Larks, devised by Sandglass Theater of Putney from interactions with people with dementia, whose words comprise the script and who are given onstage life by artfully crafted puppets.
While most summer theaters provide one talkback opportunity for each show in their seasons, Ko has an audience discussion after every performance (a practice it shares in this region with the Chester Theatre Company and the Berkshire Fringe). That interaction between artist and audience is central to Ko's mission. It invites patrons to engage with the artist's process, builds a more knowledgeable audience base, and provides practical feedback for works that in some cases are still in development.
Ko considers itself an incubator as much as a presenter. Every performance in the month-long season caps a week of rehearsal and refinement. At the same time, other artists and companies are also in residence, conducting workshops and/or working on material in various stages of development.
Hamilton recalls a conference recently where the keynote speaker was toying with what he saw as a radical presenting model, the notion of giving artists the time, space and independence to create and experiment. "And," she remarks, "I was sitting there thinking, Well, we've been doing that for 20 years."
Ko Festival of Performance continues Fri.-Sun. through Aug. 5, Holden Theater, Amherst College, (413) 542-3750, kofest.com.

Huawei in only 25 years has grown from a tiny importer of PBX equipment for the rural China market to one of the top telecom equipment providers to customers all around the world. All around the world, that is, except in the one market that counts most.
Several groups in the U.S. government are concerned that potential ties between Huawei and China's government could be used to exploit back doors, whether placed deliberately or via poorly written code, to spy on U.S. telecom customers. They have fought back on Huawei's attempts to make acquisitions and cut large deals with U.S. companies and government bodies.
CRN is taking a deep look at Huawei and its potential to break into the U.S. market with the help of channel partners, starting with its history and its attempts to enter the U.S. and following up with issues the company faces and its reactions.

JOHN M. JOHNSON, M.D. (U of T, 1956), D.Psych (U of T, 1961), FRCP(C) It is with a heavy heart that the family of John Michael Johnson announces his passing on February 12, 2013 at St. Joseph's Hospital, Hamilton. John was the much loved husband of Barbara (Hawken), the devoted father of Kathy (Brad Badeau), Lisa (Peter Young), Michael (Leanne), Mark (Susan Marshall) and Peter (Catherine). John was the cherished grandfather of Michael, Matthew and Andrew Badeau; Alex, Aaron, Patrick, Daniel, Andrew, Claire, Christopher and Ian Johnson. Family was tremendously important to John, and his greatest joy. A man of science and a lover of the arts, John was able to effortlessly connect with people of all ages and from all walks of life. John was born in Hamilton on June 25, 1931 to William and Winnifred (Alcoe). Predeceased by his much loved uncle, Geoffrey Johnson, brother Bernard (Margaret) and sister Joan (James Hodgson, whom John considered to be a life-long mentor). Brother-in-law to Kathy (George Dembroski) and Margaret (the late William Cullen Hawken), John will be fondly remembered by the extended Johnson, Hawken and Dembroski families, and his many friends. A gentleman, a friend, a colleague and a care-giver, John practiced psychiatry in Hamilton for over 40 years, and was a staff member at St. Joseph's Healthcare . He was a long standing member of McMaster University Medical School Clinical Faculty, and the Hamilton Medical-Legal Society (President 1980-81). Until this past December, John was still actively involved in his profession, serving as a member of the Ontario Ministry of Health's Consent and Capacity Board. John's motto was that we should be kind to each other, share a hug with a child, wear bright colours, and make time for good music. Visitation will be held at P.X. DERMODY FUNERAL HOME, 796 Upper Gage Ave., on Sunday, February 17th from 7-9pm and Monday, February 18th from 2-4 & 7-9pm. Prayers will be said on Monday at 8pm.

The 8th Street Latinas blog is proud to present you a new Latina porn star named Anita Toro that is making big waves at Reality Kings. This is mainly due to the fact that while she has only appeared in just one episode, Anita already has a perfect member rating.

8th Street Latinas Blog Review: ★★★★★ (5 of 5)
Reality Kings Members Overall Rating: 10.0
While Anita Toro is a new star on RK, this video from the Wild Toro episode has easily gotten the attention of many and has earned her a perfect score.

Once you see her great boobs, amazing ass and incredible sex skills, you will agree with the perfect rating we gave this video. We don't take our reviews lightly, so kudos to the rookie.
When Ramon took one look Anita Toro, everything about this being business went out the window. He was instantly infatuated by her drop-dead gorgeous looks. He tried not to show it, but failed miserably. You could tell that while Anita gave him a blow job, he was totally into it. There was no need to instruct him or change camera views. This couple just worked perfectly together. And the sex was out of this world. Ramon worked Anita's hot Latina pussy from all kinds of different angles, and she also rode his cock. In the end, he couldn't contain himself anymore and came all over her face. Be sure to go to 8th Street Latinas to check out more of this amazing episode.

Let's talk fondue, easy chocolate fondue to be specific. Everyone in our house loves fondue. What's not to love? It's not only delicious, but it's also fun and interactive to eat. It's a dessert that gathers everyone together to not only eat, but also enjoy some time together. It's so easy in today's busy world to eat on the run and go our separate ways, and I think that's why I love fondue. It slows us down and creates a wonderful excuse for everyone to sit down and enjoy together.
This is a fun dessert not only for the kids, but also to share with your sweetheart. My husband and I used to go out a few times a year for fondue, and it's still one of my all-time favorite things to do for Valentine's Day or our anniversary, but it's great to be able to whip up an easy chocolate fondue to enjoy at home (and much less expensive!).
While fondue can be complicated, we are all about keeping it simple and enjoying an easy chocolate fondue.
This easy chocolate fondue recipe is so quick to whip up and can often be paired with foods that you already have on hand for dipping. Fruits such as apples, strawberries, raspberries, grapes, oranges, pineapple and bananas are all fabulous for dipping. You do not even need a fondue pot or fondue forks. A microwave-safe bowl and some small containers to hold each serving of fondue, paired with forks or even fun sticks, will work perfectly. I'm all about using what you have and making it work for you!
Treats like brownies, pound cake and even soft cookies can be cut into cubes and dunked into chocolate. And I always love Kraft JET-PUFFED Marshmallows for dipping into fondue! You can even dip un-coated cake pops into fondue as we have!
Getting creative with fondue doesn't just include what you dip in it, but also what you use to make it! There are so many things that you can stir into your chocolate fondue to change the flavor. We love to add things like peanut butter, flavored liqueurs and even things like caramel sauce into our chocolate fondue (just not all at once!).
You can check out this guide for some fun variations on chocolate fondue.

Acanthurus olivaceus is widely distributed and is moderately common. It is a minor component of the aquarium trade and is landed in fish markets. There are no apparent major threats and its distribution overlaps with several marine protected areas. It is therefore listed as Least Concern.
|Range Description:
|Acanthurus olivaceus is found from southern Japan to northern New South Wales, Australia, eastwards to the Hawaiian Islands and Tuamotu Archipelago. In the Indian Ocean, it is found from Christmas Island (Allen and Swainston, 1988), Cocos-Keeling Islands (Allen and Smith-Vaniz 1994), Western Australia to Ningaloo Reef (Allen and Swainston 1988).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:American Samoa; Australia; Brunei Darussalam; China; Christmas Island; Cocos (Keeling) Islands; Cook Islands; Disputed Territory (Paracel Is., Spratly Is.); Fiji; French Polynesia; Guam; Hong Kong; Indonesia; Japan; Kiribati (Gilbert Is., Kiribati Line Is., Phoenix Is.); Macao; Malaysia; Marshall Islands; Micronesia, Federated States of ; Nauru; New Caledonia; Niue; Northern Mariana Islands; Palau; Papua New Guinea; Philippines; Samoa; Singapore; Solomon Islands; Taiwan, Province of China; Timor-Leste; Tokelau; Tonga; Tuvalu; United States (Hawaiian Is.); United States Minor Outlying Islands (Howland-Baker Is., Johnston I., Midway Is., US Line Is.); Vanuatu; Viet Nam; Wallis and Futuna

|Acanthurus olivaceus is common in most of its range (G. Allen pers. comm.). It was recorded as occasional in terms of relative abundance in Milne Bay Province and northern Bismarck Sea, Papua New Guinea (Allen 2003, 2009). It is moderately common on mixed sand reef at Raja Ampat, Indonesia (Allen 2003b). It is common in the American Samoa National Park (National Park of Samoa Checklist of Fishes accessed 21 April 2010). It is rare in Calamianes Islands and Puerto Princesa City, Philippines (Werner and Allen 2000, Palawan Council for Sustainable Development unpub. data). It is common and abundant in the Spratly Islands and Tubbataha, Philippines (S. Conales, Jr. pers. comm. 2010).
At Moorea, French Polynesia, SPOT satellite images allowed estimation of the surface area of fringing reef (1,076 ha), barrier reef (3,788 ha) and outer slope (493 ha). A total of 23,132 individuals were recorded in this area in fish visual surveys conducted from 1990-1993 (Lecchini et al. 2006). The Acanthuridae family was dominant on the barrier reef (2.30 ind. m-2) and on the outer slope, (1.61 spec. m-2). On the outer slope, this species accounted for 7.5% of the total density (Moussa 2009).
It is moderately common in Guam and Saipan particularly on exposed coasts. It comprises 3% of the total Acanthurid density in both Guam and Saipan (J. McIlwain unpub. data). 3,000 kg were landed in Hawaii each year in commercial landings (Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources unpub. data). In Guam it comprises 5%, and Saipan 2%, of the Acanthurid fishery (Guam Division of Aquatic and Wildlfe Resources and P. Houk unpub. data). It is a minor component of the fishery in Pohnpei (Rhodes et al. 2008).
This species is one of the eight most collected aquarium fish in West Hawaii. The total number of individuals caught from FY 2005-2009 was 5,195 with a total value of $9, 654. There was a non-significant decrease in overall density across Fish Replenishment Areas (FRAs) surveyed from 1999-2009. However, the FRAs were shown to be effective in terms of increases inside the FRAs relative to long term marine protected areas (Walsh et al. 2010).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Acanthurus olivaceus is usually encountered grazing over sand near reefs, sometimes in small aggregations (Randall 2001a), submarine observations to 62 m (Chave and Mundy 1994). It occurs over coral and rubble bottoms (Brown and Allen 2008). It is found in depths from 9 to at least 46 m depth, juveniles inhabit protected bays and lagoons, singly or in small groups in as little as 3 m. Adults occur singly or in schools. Its diet is dominated by organic detritus and calcareous sediments with very small portions of identifiable algae (Choat et al. 2002).
The sexes are separate among the acanthurids (Reeson 1983). Acanthurids do not display obvious sexual dimorphism, males assume courtship colours (J.H. Choat pers. comm. 2010). This species was reported to form spawning aggregations on the Great Barrier Reef (Squire and Samoilys unpub. data). Size at sexual maturity 180 mm (Choat and Robertson 2002a).Growth
It shows rapid growth for the first three to four years of life. Beyond four years, growth declines sharply; resulting in extended periods of asymptotic growth. The maximum number of annuli recorded for this species was 32 to 35 (Choat and Axe 1996). Maximum age recorded was 33 years in the Great Barrier Reef (Choat and Robertson 2002a).
|Use and Trade:
|Acanthurus olivaceus is occasionally seen in fish markets. Juveniles are sought after aquarium fish. Online prices range from $29.99-$69.99 (L. Rocha pers. comm. 2010).
|Major Threat(s):
There are no major threats known for this species.
Surgeonfishes show varying degrees of habitat preference and utilization of coral reef habitats, with some species spending the majority of their life stages on coral reef while others primarily utilize seagrass beds, mangroves, algal beds, and /or rocky reefs. The majority of surgeonfishes are exclusively found on coral reef habitat, and of these, approximately 80% are experiencing a greater than 30% loss of coral reef area and degradation of coral reef habitat quality across their distributions. However, more research is needed to understand the long-term effects of coral reef habitat loss and degradation on these species' populations. Widespread coral reef loss and declining habitat conditions are particularly worrying for species that recruit into areas with live coral cover, especially as studies have shown that protection of pristine habitats facilitate the persistence of adult populations in species that have spatially separated adult and juvenile habitats (Comeros-Raynal et al. 2012).
|Conservation Actions:
|There are no species-specific conservation measures in place for this species. However, its distribution overlaps several marine protected areas within its range.

American Matt Kuchar shot a mistake-free 64 - a score of seven under par - to take the lead after Day One of the Northern Trust Open in Los Angeles.
Kuchar kicked off his round with three birdies on the trot, then picked up four more along the way to claim a one-shot lead over Spain's Sergio Garcia.
"It's always fun to have bogey free days, especially around this golf course," Kuchar said on www.pgatour.com. "I just drove it well today which is a big key around here.
"The greens are pretty tricky and pretty firm this year, so coming out of the rough, it's difficult to get a ball to stop close to the hole.
"Coming out of the fairway is a key thing to play some good golf, so we are driving it well and I played some nice golf today."
Starting at the 10th, Garcia also picked up shots on his first three holes and would have sat alongside Kuchar at the head of the field but for a bogey at the 13th.
One shot behind Garcia on five under was Brandt Jobe, with a group of three men on four under headed by England's David Lynn.
Last year's runner-up at the PGA Championship is hardly one of the star names in a high-quality field this week, but he was right in the mix in a share of fourth alongside James Hahn and Charlie Beljan.
He began his day with a birdie on his opener at the par-four 10th.
The 39-year-old picked up further strokes at two of the three par-fives before birdies at the third and fifth had him on course to keep pace with Kuchar.
A bogey at the par-four seventh slowed Lynn but he maintained his position to go into the clubhouse three shots adrift.
Lynn was the standout performer on a good day for the British contingent.
Lee Westwood was three under, Luke Donald and Greg Owen two under and Brian Davis was one under.
There was less good news for Ross Fisher, who was one over, Graeme McDowell (two over), and Martin Laird (three over), while three-time major-winner Padraig Harrington of Ireland had a day to forget as carded to bogeys and two doubles to finish six over.
Defending champion Bill Haas was in the mix on one under.
Play ended with 18 men yet to complete their rounds because of fog and darkness.

Roberto Bolle: An International Ballet Superstar

I caught up with ballet's sexiest superstar Roberto Bolle while he was on a boat off Capri in his native Italy. The critically acclaimed dancer, who lives between Milano and NYC, is bringing his show "Roberto Bolle & Friends" to City Center for a one-night gala on September 17th. Bolle, who started these shows 13 years ago in Europe, said he was inspired by "Pavarotti & Friends" and hopes that he can expand the audience for ballet the way The Three Tenors helped to popularize opera. "It is the first time I'm bringing my gala to NYC and I'm really happy about that," said Bolle, who has been a Principal Dancer at American Ballet Theatre since 2009 and has held the title of Etoile of La Scala Theatre for a decade.

Companies share hiring demands in supply chain and logistics at San Jacinto College Symposium
04.24.2014 | By Jeannie Peng-Armao
It's no secret that Houston is a hub for global product distribution, and with that, companies like Crane Worldwide Logistics look for the right people to fill the positions in supply chain management and logistics.
San Jacinto College recently hosted the seventh annual International Business, Logistics and Supply Chain Symposium to discuss the issues that are facing Houston companies in hiring for supply chain and logistics workers. The event featured keynote speaker Josh Jungwirth, regional vice president for Crane Worldwide Logistics' Houston Region, where he shared the industry's immediate demands that have resulted in the increase of the company's workforce to 240 employees, up from 180 in 2012.
"Industry in this city is growing very very quickly. Employment projections are high," said Jungwirth. "Supply chain management is a learned skill. It is critical to have employees who can come into the company with training and some experience related to purchasing and supply chain management. What I would like to see is more practical courses on moving cargo in addition to the customer side in purchasing and supply chain management."
A recent Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals survey revealed increasing employment opportunities in logistics, transportation, inventory management, cargo and freight, and demand planning. That is why San Jacinto College is playing a key role in the development of curriculum that will serve as a national model for supply chain management programs. The College is a part of a consortium of colleges working on a Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant program, funded through the Department of Labor. Program goals include developing curriculum, enrolling 3,000 or more students into credit-bearing supply chain management certificate programs at any of the consortium schools.
"The only way we are going to have a workforce that is ready to meet this demand is by working collectively with two-year and four-year higher education institutions and with our industry stakeholders," said Margaret Kidd, project director of the TAACCCT grant, as well as the TAACCCT chair for the transportation curriculum design committee and co-chair of the national academic advisory board. "Supply chain management touches all of us in many different ways from entry-level positions to management positions, planning, warehousing, and strategic planning. For Houston and our country to remain competitive in the market, we have to train the workforce."
John Moseley, senior director of trade development for the Port of Houston Authority also presented at the symposium, where the following scholarships were announced: The Daniel M. Cassler International Business and Logistics Scholarship; the Channelview Ministry Team International Business and Logistics Scholarship; the International Community Builders International Business, Maritime and Logistics Scholarship; and the Robert Morgan Jr. International Business, Maritime and Logistics Scholarship. Applications for these scholarships will be available in Fall 2014 at https://sjcd.academicworks.com.

Off Shoulder Stripe Bandage Dress - WEB EXCLUSIVE is rated out of 5 by 2.
Rated 4 out of 5 by SewerGal from Good quality This is a cute dress, it is a very good quality material, thick and stretchy. It hugs your curves, and the length is good, not too short, I am 5'4" and it comes to just above my knees, which I prefer. I would have given it a 5 start but I found that the arm holes were a bit tight, but it does help if you pull the top down around your shoulders. I still think they could have made the arm holes a little larger for more comfort. The colours are really nice vivid blue and I love the stripes. A really good bargain for the price of $60 less 30%.
