I loved nothing more, PSH is a very good actor, I prefer here Cheongdamdong alice that the princess'man because his character is really too funny and engaging, I loved Han In Kyung represented by MGY always great actress who understands his role and is very well, here she plays a girl who fights against poverty disappointed with her ex boyfriend, she decides to fight at all costs, I devoured every episode, the beautiful end the story is really touching to me, we cry, we laugh all I like dramas … and supporting actors played very well too.

to me this is an interesting story because i always wait for the next scene, what would happen, how would the writer make each character respond, get away or deal with each situation, that defines a good story, it is not boring..
i agree with the comment about drinking, in each korean series that i have watched so far, a scene of drinking is always there, no matter what story is about, family, friends, detective etc..isn't that sort of an affirmation or campaign about drinking ? when you want to abolish something then you don't include it in series that ppl watch in their homes, watched by adults and kids, i wonder why drinking is seemed to be accepted as the right way to escape from problems..?
i also wonder about scenes where Seo Yoon Joo were "serving" the family including In Hwa – her "younger" sister in-law…the younger are supposed to be respectful to the older but in this case since Yoon Joo is only a daughter in-law and didnt come from an equally affluent family, so she has to "serve"…? what about if Yoon Joo is a daughter in-law but her family is also a chaebol..? a bit strange to me, an older sister in-law has to wait on a younger one just because she comes from a poorer family. does this happen in reality of Korea? does that originate from the culture of ancient Kings (the monarch)?
it is said that HSK is about 27 yo. at 27 if you just work as an employee, how rich could you be? unless you are a talented artist/actor who started your career since age 1, for instance, doing films, being a model/ambassador for products etc..then perhaps at 27 you could have already owned, say, 5 (multi?)national companies. or you are an innovator, an entrepreneur who had done some ground-breaking, phenomenal whatever – then at 27 your name could probably be one among the list of Forbes? but if you are just working as an employee, like HSK, how rich could you get at 27? – because HSK here is described to be such in despair -> after all her hard work, her endeavors, best efforts etc she was still in the lower-middle class..? is that realistic? sounds greedy to me if you want to be "cheongdam dong affluent" at 27 while what you do is…
it also makes me wonder about the circles of the rich – in reality, is there a "rags" who is best friend, in sincerety, with a "riches"..? ppl, in their effort to become a "somebody", to gain respect, sometimes "lose themselves" in the process ..
lastly, i like the supporting leads more, Seo Yoon Joo & Tommy Hong. like one of the comment said about Yoon Joo-Soo Yi Hyun success because of that role. to me Tommy Hong and Yoon Joo characters are more interesting, more colors – the very "up"s and very "down"s….
bravo to all the cast, writer, director….

Shopping Kdrama Style
Seoul can be a fun place to shop while stocking up on some kdrama atmosphere. Naturally, you can always wander around the upscale Cheomdamdung shopping district and visit the boutiques where so many kdrama heroines have their compulsory makeovers, but there are more shops to stop in.
A good place to start your kdrama window-shopping is a store featured in "Cheomdamdung Alice," a drama centering on a department store. Many of the romantic scenes between Park Shi Hoo and Moon Geun Young, took place in front of The Galleria, a luxury-brand store owned by the Hanwha Group. Located in the wealthy district of Apgujeong-dong, the Galleria Department Store not only offers shopping options but also plenty of cafes and restaurant to relax in.
It's located at 343, Apgujeong-ro, Gangnam-gu. For more information, call 82 2 1330. To get there, take subway line 3 to the Apgujeong Station, Exit 2. Head toward the corner where KDB Bank is located and turn right. At the ext bus stop, take Bus 4318. Get off at the Apgujeong-dong Hanyang Apt. bus stop.

Really interesting and unusual script. Park Shi Hoo is acting just great in this drama. He is such a talent. Before I used to like only his smile, but now I really like his acting and respect him as an fantastic actor. From one drama to the next he is improving his acting skills. So Cheongdamdong Alice deserves to be the best korean drama of 2013. I have never before watched such kind of drama. Honestly, that was something. Want a new drama with PSH. Miss him.

PSH Interview on KNTV
"Cheongdam-dong Alice" KNTV TV debut in Japan commemoration! Notice of official Park Si Hoo interview and preview.
"Cheongdam-dong Alice" will make its debut in Japan on KNTV in December 2013.
The broadcast of the first episode is just around the corner on November 21. In the midst of rising expectations, we are introducing this official interview of Park Si Hoo who plays Cha Seung Jo. The preview of the drama is published on the official site.
"Cheongdam-dong Alice" is a drama that depicts the incongruous dreams of a woman whose "project is to become a Cheongdam-dong daughter-in-law" and a man who is looking for "a love that has become extinct", with the man despising such kind of woman who makes marriage the business of a lifetime.
Q: Please tell us why you chose this work.
A: Although there were some slightly comical parts in my previous works, Cha Seung Jo (CSJ) in "Cheongdam-dong Alice" (CDDA) is an attractive character that requires not just simple comical acting: his range of emotions is very wide, consisting of joy, anger, humor, and pathos^^.
Q: Drastic comical acting has become a hot topic, but how was CSJ's unique "broken acting" born? Did you consult with the director? Did you come up with it yourself? Or did you refer to something else? Please tell us.
A: Broken??? Don't you think it's cool, even if it is broken? ( Laughs)
In the beginning, the script just called for comical acting, but I soon became assimilated into the CSJ character and started to ad lib on set without noticing it myself. The scriptwriter saw and approved, and said that's CSJ, and so that's how CSJ evolved.
Q: Any memorable episodes during shooting?
A: Last winter when we were shooting CDDA, it was colder than usual and a lot of snow fell, so it's not just outdoor shooting, even in the interior of a room, every time we said any words, our breath appeared white, and our hands and ears were all red. After the broadcast, many people asked: "How come your breath comes out white in the bedroom and living room of the house of the rich?" So this became a joke. (Laughs)
Also in the scene where I poured soy sauce over Tommy Hong's head, I've become so immersed in the role that I really poured a lot of soy sauce. (Laughs).
Q: Please tell us your impression of acting with Moon Geun Young. She's had a long career as an actress since her child actor days, but please tell us if the real person is any different from the image.
A: Because of her cute appearance, I had the impression she's very young, but on set she's an adult and a thoughtful person. She's very considerate of other people; she's a veteran more than anything else.
Q: What is the secret story of how CSJ's dialect came about? (Are you any good with your dialect?)
A: The dialect that I spoke was not in the script originally. But once I was talking with the scriptwriter and the fact that I came from Chungcheongnam-do came out. So I started playing with the dialect and I got hooked. And that's how it came about. By the way, I do not normally use the dialect. (Laughs)
Q: That scene of CSJ biting his nails … he seems to be the edgy, nervous type. In real life is Park Si Hoo also like that?
A: (Thinking for a moment ) … Hmmm , are you referring to that scene when I sent an e-mail to Han Se Kyung but the reply had not come, and I was waiting and biting my nails … restless? (Laughs)
Q: What are the similarities and differences between CSJ and PSH?
A: CSJ appears tough on the outside but is really soft and delicate inside. People's first impression of me may be I seem cold but actually I have a warm heart. Ha!Ha!Ha! As for how I'm like CSJ, when I'm with people I'm familiar with, I could be very funny … ^ ^
Q: Please tell us some highlights of "Cheongdam-dong Alice".
A: (Thinking) … Hmmm … CSJ's comical acting and the ups and downs of CSJ's emotions invite laughter. And CSJ suddenly lapsing into dialect is also funny. (Laughs) … Then at the time it was broadcast in Korea, CSJ's style also became a hot topic — his expensive custom-made suits, his handkerchiefs and diamond studded clips, etc. Each time after a broadcast, "Cha Seung Jo fashion" became the #1 search word.
Q: In 2012 you rose to the radically different challenges of the image-changing "Confession of Murder" and "Cheongdam-dong Alice", something you've never done before. In what ways have you grown as an actor through your roles?
A: Whenever I digest a role one by one each time, I grow little by little inside, and then I feel stronger and stronger outside, filling the character in each work. Mind you, the CSJ role in CDDA is really special.
"Confession of Murder" was also a fresh experience, and it was also the character I play in a movie for the first time. COM appeals to me because that's a role I've wanted to do ever since I started acting. It allows me to express a wide range of emotions.

Yes, CDDA deserves to be the best korean drama in 2013 and PSH the Best Actor for his role as CSJ.
I especially love the highlights of CDDA…especially CSJ's comical acting and the ups and downs of CSJ's emotions, and his lapses into dialects… definitely a rare character so well acted by PSH. I have not seen any real comical character in korean drama, like CSJ…. amazing, awesome!
CSJ's dancing styles are also unprecedented! COOL! SO CUTE!
And CSJ's fashion style is so elegant…so Handsome and HOT!

Review comments of CDDA
"I was drawn to watch Cheongdamdong Alice by Park Shi Hoo because I have always liked him since watching him in Family's Honour few years back. He is a very charismatic actor and I seriously like him more after watching him as Cha Seung Jo in Cheongdamdong Alice (he is cute when wearing spectacles, hee..) He successfully portray the delightful character of Cha Seung Jo in this drama and it really cracks me up a lot of times while watching his childish behaviour; such as switching to Korean dialect accent whenever he gets too agitated, enjoys going through the short lamp post in his office and gets revenge, the way he dances, etc.
I love how he will put on a cool front when he is in fact very smug or thrilled over something and talking to himself while analysing the possible outcome of a situation comically. The way he is trying to hide his true identity as Chairman from Han Se Kyung (Moon Geun Young) and his encounter with Secretary Moon and his doctor friend is also extremely hilarious!
Speaking of Moon Geun Young, she is really everlasting baby face; gosh, she looks just about the same when I first saw her in Autumn Tale more than a decade ago. The sentence I like most in Cheongdamdong Alice is the word Han Se Kyung said in the first episode, 'L'effort est ma force' 'Hard work is my strength'.
I find Seo Yoon Joo's (So Yi Hyun) 'strategy' to hook a 'big fish' and source for a white rabbit rather interesting too. And not to mention the adorable emotion bunnies Han Se Kyung made for Cha Seung Jo, they were cute!
Cha Seung Jo is such a dear that I cannot help feeling touched when he confess to Han Se Kyung all the petty stuff he done in order to revenge his ex-wife and dad. I was thinking how anyone can bear to deceive such a sincere and innocent guy? Of course, my heart broke for him when he discovered the deception. *sob*
I liked the soundtrack from this drama, especially the two songs; It's Okay by Luna and Every Single Day by Shower. The latter has a very happy tune, hmm…sounded a little like the thrilling sensation when hit a jackpot? LOL!
Overall I am so glad the drama ended happily and it is a good closure for Cheongdamdong Alice!"

Alice in Cheongdam-dong: Thoughts & Review
"I enjoyed this drama much more than I thought I would. It was so hard to pin-point what exactly it was going to be about, but I am glad the show itself had a better grasp on that than I did.
I loved that it was filled with plenty of light, serious, and touching moments.
The drama was fully-realized and the characters felt real, too, much like how Alice thought Wonderland was real.
It's all about grabbing opportunities when they come to you and realizing that no one can really achieve success without some help along the way. It's also about knowing when to face facts and realizing your world won't crash down because of them.
Han Se Kyung (Moon Geung Young) is a "Candy". That means she's enthusiastic, cheerful, and hard-working, only that…she's not at the same time. In fact, even though she works hard she has little to show for it. She's only a contract worker running errands for the Madame at work, she has debts, her family has debts, and her boyfriend has a huge debt and wants to break up with her (then ends up screwing her over). She's frustrated and unhappy and it's this kind of twist on the typical Candy character that makes her seem so real. So, when she catches up with an old "friend" from school and realizes how unfulfilling her life is it's no wonder she decides to stop doing things so honestly. Marrying rich is the plan, then it'll be cake from there—finally getting into the fashionable district of Cheongdam-dong. Except, this is a lot easier said than done. Not to mention the whole falling-in-love thing with the guy you're supposed to be gold-digging. But, I love that she remains realistic even when her views on love have changed, her views on life have changed, and she has changed. She's strong even when she's being swallowed into her lies and she pulls through in her own way. She's smart and knows what she's doing as well as being able to figure things out as she goes along. Moon Geun Young is a perfect fit for this role, lending the right mix of depth, optimism, and seriousness required to make this character work.
Then there is Cha Seung Jo (Park Shi Hoo). He's the eccentric president of the fashion brand Artemis who falls head-over-heels for our heroine. Spurned by love, he's not too fond of women or love at the start of this drama; he can't even cry. However, his slow change from Mad-Hatter to man is a nice one to watch. Seung Jo is also a nice twist on the classic rich leading man. He's jaded but not a jerk; he's happy yet unhappy. He's living in a world of his own making and as we watch we realize just how much he has to grow up. He is petty and blames others for his problems and he is protected by those around him. I started wishing he would get hurt, even a little, just to knock some sense into him. Seung Jo is nice and wonderful; he works hard but he is also on a better standing than anyone else and that includes being estranged from his father. Suddenly, being homeless in Paris doesn't mean much when you're still in the place people can only dream to go—working and living—when you're family is still wealthy. I like how Se Kyung makes him realize how childish he is. He learns how others see him as well as how he acts. So, when Seung Jo actively seeks answers from her about their relationship it shows how much he is growing. Park Shi Hoo is so good in this. He really shows us his comedic side as well as a vulnerable/petty side creating a unique balance with all these contrasting traits.
On the other side of the spectrum are Seo Yoon Jo (So Yi Hyun) and Tommy Hong (Kim Ji Suk) who have both made it into Cheongdam-dong in that non-Candy way. Yoon Joo represents those who have made it by marrying rich and she even acts as a mentor to Se Kyung when she decides to do the same. Doing things this way is not without it's setbacks because Yoon Joo has her own problems, proving that life difficulties don't just go away because your bank book expands. There are more troubles that arise. Tommy, too, is this way—greasy and sneaky at first, he's a match-maker with similar designer dreams as our heroine. He's stuck as a sort of pimp for every girl that wants to make it but as we go along we realize he isn't all bad. He is not unlike Se Kyung who just felt like working hard wasn't worth it anymore. When things start falling apart around these two, however, it's pleasant to see them come to terms and deal with it, more at ease with life. They both could have been formidable antagonists but I'm glad they weren't. Both do a great job. So Yi Hyun shows more depth than I ever thought she could and Kim Ji Suk brings his usual warmth and charm even while being smarmy.
There were so many things about this show that were unexpected and made me fall into this world, like it's twist on the classic character tropes. The "evil dad", Cha Il Nam (Han Jin Hee), wasn't so evil after all. More like a stubborn dad who wasn't willing to give his son some much needed credit. I was with him all the way as he was trying to gain his son's affections back and bond with him. Se Kyung's relationship with her family was nice and real. They didn't always see eye to eye, but they got along and respected and cared for wach other. Even the friendships were fun to watch as they felt like fully realized relationships and those characters, with the little information we were given about them, felt three-dimensional as well.
Despite it's silliness, this drama offers a realistic take on working hard and dreaming vs. reality. What is the right way to make it in the world? Is there a diary to show us? Is there a clear path? Can we all come out happy and completely satisfied?
And what would we do in this situation? When a dream is just within our reach but in order to get it, we have to be greedy and a little underhanded? Was Se Kyung wrong? Yes, but at the same time, no…
There is also a nice message within all that brain work. Everyone has a bad side to them. You can neither protect yourself or those around you from it. What you can do is open up as much as you can and see if that other person accepts you for what you are. Even if it's ugly, there is is no one without there fair share of ugly. And money? It's okay to like that, too.

Very good KDrama from the beginning till the end.
I like all the actors and actresses.
I'm not one of you who does not like Moon Geun Young to play the role of Han Se Kyung. Yes, she is always silent but her eyes always speaks. Although her body can't act well but her facial expression speaks a thousand words much more of her eyes…
I watch all her dramas.
This is the first time I watch Park Shi Hoo's drama. And I was soooooo impress. I think I like him!

If you want to watch more of Park Shi Hoo's dramas, I would recommend The Princess Man (KBS World is running a rerun every Mon – Thurs at 11.10pm Seoul time. It's at Ep 7 for this coming Monday) and Family's Honour.
These 2 dramas are top favourites at the Japan Hanyru's 2013.
(Korean Entertainment 10th Anniversary Awards in Japan).
Park Shi Hoo was also great in his dramas of Prosecutor Princess, Queen of Reversals, How To Meet A Perfect Neighbour.
Here's the ranking results
Ranking of drama series of 50 episodes or more.
"Family Honor" is #1 (out of BEST 30).
#1 "The Princess's Man"
(Number in parenthesis is overall rank in BEST 300 dramas.)

What I found really good in this drama is that it does not veil the face and openly addresses the difficult topic acceptable and morally reprehensible is money. Some will find the moral absolutely disgusting, others will struggle with the characters, but for my part I am completely won over by this drama, its characters and its treatment of the subject. Dialogues had the ability to touch me right on and make me realize a lot of things. Morality is relatively pessimistic, but somehow it makes all the more realistic drama.
Cheongdamdong Alice is really not a conventional drama and certainly does not appeal to everyone but I think it addresses a very interesting subject and done really well. Every episode made me euphoric, not always for the same reasons and writing has never disappointed me once in his path. Probably one of the dramas that have marked me most Dramaland!
A controversial drama that divides many crowds and yet it was for me a revelation. Cheongdamdong Alice on a topic of particular interest, revisiting a scenario in which we are accustomed Dramaland always been (and therefore has never seen a drama featuring a rich and a poor hero heroine?) And it's a real blow that emphasizes all legal issues behind the beautiful romances dramas lambdas it downside somehow the dramas usually do not want to show.
Moon Geun Young and Park Shi Hoo are great here!

Kasich proposes unconstitutional tax hike on fracking waste
Last week, the Kasich administration quietly introduced a five-fold tax increase on the disposal of chemical-laced fracking wastewater from other states. Disposal of Ohio brine will cost ten times less. Such a move clearly violates the US Constitution's restrictions on Interstate commerce, something Kasich has in the past acknowledged.
Let's recap: ODNR recently confirmed that injection of chemical-laced wastewater from hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") was responsible for a series of earthquakes near Youngstown:
"a number of coincidental circumstances appear to make a compelling argument for the recent Youngstown-area seismic events to have been induced." – Ohio Department of Natural Resources, March 9, 2012
Nearly 93 percent of drilling waste injected into Youngstown well was from out of state. Because of its abundant sandstone, Ohio boasts 176 fluid injection wells and counting; 29 permits were issued in 2011 alone. Neighboring Pennsylvania, home to considerably more drilling than Ohio, has just seven. As a result, Pennsylvania drillers send 98 percent of their fracking waste to Ohio. If New York ends its moratorium on shale drilling, their waste,too, would likely head to Ohio.
In total, 511 million gallons of chemical-laden waste was disposed in 2011 by injection in Ohio—nearly half it from out of state.
Since 2010, the state charges a disposal a fee of five cents per barrel on Ohio brine, and twenty cents for waste originating out of state. Last month, when asked how Ohio would avoid becoming a dumping ground for out of state waste, Governor Kasich told Bloomberg that the U.S. Constitution prohibits interference with interstate shipments.
He seems to have changed his tune.
Last week, the Governor's energy policy legislation, Senate Bill 315, was introduced by sponsor Shannon Jones. The bill raises brine disposal fees from five to ten cents on in-state waste, and from twenty cents to $1 on out of state waste.
A five-fold increase in the fees might put a small dent in the wallets of deep-pocketed drillers, but could dramtically increase revenue for the state, which collected $1.45 million in 2011. Part of the revenue will pay for seismic monitoring, not funded in the current state budget.
The problem is, this proposal is clearly unconstitutional. The Commerce Clause prohibits states from placing a burden on interstate commerce (some examples). While there has existed a fee differential since 2010, the costs were relatively low. With this move, waste haulers may resort to lawsuits to fight the discriminatory burden placed on them by the new dollar-a-barrel fee. It also hits border county well operators hard, the Vindicator's reporting finds.
Instead of violating the US Constitution, if Kasich really wants to prevent Ohio from becoming a waste dumping ground, there's an easy solution. Shut down the injection wells.
If toxic wastewater is of great enough concern that we need to raise fees five-fold to discourage it, perhaps we should reconsider whether we want to allow it in the first place. But, assuming that Ohio intends to stay in the waste disposal business, better regulatory oversight is essential. The Kasich proposals include better seismic monitoring and restrictions on the depth and pressure of injection wells. But it falls far short.
Representative Jay Goyal (D-Mansfield) recently introduced legislation that would, in addition to increasing protections by requiring water testing and community approval before an injection well is approved, reduce the demand for disposal wells by requiring recycling of fracking wastewater. The Ohio Environmental Council applauded the move.
Passing unconstitutional legislation is par for the course for the Ohio legislature, so we hardly expect this revelation will prevent them from passing Kasich's proposal. The courts will likely decide its ultimate fate. But, in the meantime, lawmakers should the need for disposal by injection by imposing a recycling mandate.
A quick — if such a thing is possible — discussion of why under current Supreme Court cases this
change probably violates the commerce clause and, therefore, is
state statute may violate what is known as the "dormant" Commerce Clause in
several ways. This is a complicated area of the law, but generally, a
statute that clearly discriminates against interstate commerce in favor of
in-state commerce is invalid and can survive only if the discrimination is
justified by a valid factor unrelated to favoritism for in-state
businesses. A state statute violates the "clear discrimination" standard
when it creates "differential treatment of in-state and out-of-state economic
interests." A discriminatory law is presumptively invalid.
Such a law may overcome the presumption of invalidity only where 'the
discrimination is demonstrably justified by a valid factor unrelated to
economic protectionism.
the past couple of decades, the Supreme Court has considered Commerce Clause
challenges to state and local waste disposal regulations that differentiated
between in-state and out-of-state waste. In every instance, the Court found the
challenged law unconstitutional. In one case, the Supreme Court
invalidated a New Jersey statute that prohibited the importation of out-of-state
waste. In another case, the Court struck down an Alabama law that imposed
a disposal fee on out-of-state hazardous waste. Most on-point is the
Court's striking down of an Oregon law that taxed out-of-state waste at a
higher rate that in-state waste. In that case, the Court noted that a
discriminatory law that sought to advance goals of conservation was
unconstitutional. Under Supreme Court precedents, a state may seek to
protect the environment by creating uniform regulations.
justification offered by Kasich's spokesman – that out-of-state companies don't
pay other taxes to Ohio – is not valid under the Constitution. I am not
aware of any cases permitting a state to "balance" the amount of taxes paid by
in-state and out-of-state companies.)
As I understand it, Kasich wants to impose a tax of 10-cents-per-barrel tax on all injected fracking wastewater that originates from Ohio and a $1-per-barrel tax on injected wastewater from out of state. Currently, the rates are Current rates are 5-cents-per barrel on wastewater from Ohio and 20 cents-per-barrel on wastewater from out of state.
am not sure if anyone challenged the current fee. Perhaps it could have
been justified by additional regulatory or administrative burdens imposed by
the transportation of the waste. But the 10/1 differential proposed by
Kasich is almost certainly likely to be found to be unconstitutional.

Then you're likely trying to fit your gear into two or three bags, and the bulk of your equipment is going be carried onto a flight. In those scenarios, your big trade-off is traveling light vs. being prepared.

Is it possible that we take and use something as it is, without processing, modifying or interpreting it? Is it possible to take a bite out of the raw life? To really mean and eat what we are, we better simplify.
Open up any "holy" book and you shall find definitions, commandments, laws, interpretations, but not life itself. Words become coloured glass, through which we interpret, label and look at life. This includes our thoughts, feelings and food.
If I bite into an apple I do not want to taste wax, pesticides and other artificial stuff. I am happy with an ugly, but healthy fruit. I am happy washing the soil off of a vegetable and cutting it up myself, biting into it and consuming life in a raw, organic form. Of course after years of eating the perfectly red supermarket tomatoes, the canned beans and other processed, manipulated and fake foods I had to re-train my taste buds to be able to enjoy life unsweetened.
It seems necessary to re-train our hearts to be able to see straight and feel right, after years of being bombarded with processed, colured and sweetened tv-shows, radio programs and printed garbage, lacking of spirituality, love or real feelings. It may well be hard to read a whole book from cover to cover, after years of consuming designer news and soap operas.
Nothing worth doing is easy at first or to put it another way "if you can you can't, if you can't you must" (John Grinder). So what would you give for a heart that cannot be fooled or a mind which is still, light and creative? Are you ready to interact with another human being without your masks and shields, to be vulnerable, sensitive and honest? Start by turning off all the unnecessary things in life. Things which dissipate your energy, drain your creativity or numb your sensitivity.
You know best who you are, so pay respect to yourself and be honest. The temptations to want to be something else than what you are will always be there, so will the faint voice which will remind you who you are and what you need to do.
So simplify: instead of a facebook message call a friend, instead of an email sit down to talk, instead of hinting, suggesting or lying communicate directly and honestly. Look at a dog wanting love and if you have to imitate the directness until you find your own way. Just start being yourself and stop acting.
This time really mean what you are saying and communicate clearly. Build a new you, right now. Right food, right environment, right job. Be simple and ask what is the next best thing I can do RIGHT NOW?

Three months on from the UK's decision to leave the European Union and there is still much uncertainty about the impact of Brexit. Following a Clyde & Co survey with over 50 Senior Executives it was clear that the lifting of Iranian sanctions is the most likely to impact global trade. We discuss the results below.
Withdrawal of Iranian sanctions the top concern for global trading businesses
The withdrawal of Iranian sanctions will have a greater impact on their businesses than Brexit negotiations and the upcoming US Presidential election. The survey showed that 40% of senior executives at global trading companies believe that the lifting of Iranian sanctions will have a more profound impact on their business over the upcoming financial year.
Iran: issues remain
While the withdrawal of Iranian sanctions could provide a huge windfall for businesses, there is a raft of issues that are currently stopping companies from trading with the country.
One of the key barriers is access to finance. Despite reassurances from OFAC most banks are still very reluctant to finance businesses involved in Iran. So far, the European tier one banks have shown zero appetite for conducting Iran-related business. This means businesses are unable to access credit to fund their business with Iran.
Businesses that do manage to access finance must consider the level of due diligence involved in trading with a country whose economy still has close ties to of individuals and entities that are listed by the EU/UK and US, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp.
The impact of Brexit negotiations on global trading companies
Over 40% of businesses said that post-Brexit the outcome of global trade agreements would have the most significant impact on their business. Trading companies operating within either the UK or EU are likely to feel a significant impact to their business once the UK negotiations with the EU are completed.
For trading companies that operate outside of the EU and UK, Brexit may not have a direct impact. However, as senior Government officials have made clear, the UK is looking to establish new trade agreements with non-EU countries. Once these ties are established, they may have a significant impact for businesses operating elsewhere.
Entry into new markets a priority for businesses
In light of current market conditions, the most popular strategy Senior Executives regard as a priority for their business is entry into new growth markets (36%). This was followed by embracing new strategic partnerships (26%) and restructuring (17%).
The full impact of Brexit on global trading companies remains to be seen. It is understood that these businesses will be waiting to get a better indication of the outcome of the negotiations before deciding how best to play their hand and adjust their business models. Additional shifts in trading relationships and trade corridors will also arise from the commercial direction of individual firms, multinationals and major supply chain anchors, as they re-assess the evolving place of the UK on the map of global trade.
* [50] Senior Executives of global trading companies were surveyed. The companies operate throughout The Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia

The 2014 Ram 2500 HD Power Wagon has a curb weight of 6700 pounds. However, smaller models will be lighter and have lower towing capacity, while the larger 3500 will have more weight and more towing capacity.Continue Reading
The best measure of a vehicle's weight is its curb weight, which is the estimated weight of an unaltered, unencumbered vehicle. Heavy duty commercial vehicles tend to be designed for maximum torque, but given their large frames and engines, that torque is converted into hauling power rather than raw speed. Lighter vehicles also have much smaller tires that are more effective at putting power to the road rather than simply moving heavy objects.Learn more about Car Makes & Models

Competition Commission report on UK broadcast monopoly
Competition Commission report (several PDF files) on Macquarie's acquisition of National Grid Wireless, which would create a quasi-monopoly in UK terrestrial television and national radio broadcasting infrastructure.
The Competition Commission will consider detailed proposals for behavioural remedies which effectively establish a new regulatory agency (described as similar to the ITV CRR regime). But the conclusion is that:
10.92 Although the package of behavioural remedies has been specified in significant detail by the parties, further detailed work is required. There are a number of points to resolve in order for us to be confident that a package of behavioural remedies will be effective [...]. It is possible that this work will reveal flaws in the effectiveness of the proposed package which cannot be resolved.
10.93 If the parties are unable to propose a satisfactory package of behavioural remedies then we will require the parties to implement the divestiture of NGW's entire MTS/NA business [...]
The report also seems to suggest that Ofcom might want, or perhaps ought, to impose price controls under the Communications Act 2003.
For further information or advice please contact Franck Latrémolière.

In Their Own Words
"At Berklee in general, and in our department especially, we strike the right path between the traditional composition and arranging techniques and the technological aspect of production. We teach the latest technology in terms of production, recording, and sequencing, but we also provide our students with the traditional orchestration techniques for acoustic ensembles, tools that are extremely valuable these days to any professional musician. I always strongly encourage my students to stay updated on new musical trends, new arranging techniques, new styles, and new technologies. Technology should be regarded as a tool to improve the quality of music and to help develop new musical idioms, but it is imperative for the student to sustain a balance that includes strong musicianship."
"I want my students to understand that in this business, they really need to be passionate about what they do. The life of a musician is an incredible journey, a rollercoaster, where highs and lows alternate and where the next turn may reveal unforeseen and exciting new events. My goal is to prepare students to enjoy every minute of that experience, to be ready when the next opportunity will arise, to realize that being a musician is an incredible gift that they can benefit from only if they have the right tools, knowledge, and flexibility to take advantage of it. My philosophy is 'Do as many things as you can, making sure that everything you are involved in is done well and with passion.' I think that's what makes the work so exciting."
"I want my students to be 100 percent focused on what we do and to really take advantage of everything that goes on in class. I like to be available for students if they need to see me during office hours. I always like to comment on every project in class. Also, I like to have the students commenting on their projects in class. The critique process is a very important one for me. Students learn not only from getting their projects critiqued by me, but they also learn from accepting constructive criticism from their peers. In fact, the entire process of commenting on other people's projects is an invaluable tool for learning about our own limitations and about areas that need improvement."

From Beachapedia
Aquaculture (English)
Acuicultura (Español)
Aquaculture-FR (Français)
The broad term "aquaculture" refers to the breeding, rearing, and harvesting of plants and animals in all types of water environments, including ponds, rivers, lakes, the ocean, and artificial tanks. Using aquaculture techniques and technologies, researchers and the aquaculture industry are "growing," "producing," "culturing," and "farming" all types of freshwater and marine species.
Plants and animals grown via aquaculture are released into the wild, transferred to ocean pens until grown to market value, or directly harvested for consumption. Aquaculture can be used to support commercial and recreational marine fisheries as well as to enhance or rebuild wild stock populations or coastal habitats such as oyster reefs. Aquaculture also includes the production of ornamental fish for the aquarium trade and plant species used in a range of food, pharmaceutical, nutritional, and biotechnology products. There are also related industries such as equipment production, feed, and nutrition companies, and aquaculture consulting service firms that provide support to the global aquaculture industry.
Marine aquaculture or "mariculture" refers to the culturing of marine species, while freshwater aquaculture focuses on the culturing of freshwater species. For example, mariculture production includes oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp, and salmon, while freshwater aquaculture operations produce trout, catfish, and tilapia. Mariculture production can occur in the open ocean, an enclosed section of the ocean, or in tanks, ponds or raceways which are filled with seawater. An example of the latter is the farming of marine fish, including finfish, shellfish, and marine plants in saltwater ponds or land-based "closed-loop" circulation tanks.
Aquaculture has been practiced for hundreds of years in such diverse locations as Australia, China, Japan, Italy and Hawaii. In the United States, aquaculture in the form of freshwater fish hatcheries began in New York and Massachusetts in the 1860s.
According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the world caught or produced over 171 million tons of fish in 2016—with more than 80 million tons (some 47 percent) coming from fish farms, including fresh-water operations on land and ocean farming close to shore. Interestingly, 20 million tons came from wild stocks mainly to be processed as feed stocks for fish farms, which is actually a reduction from previous years.
In 2006, the FAO estimated that 2010 would mark the first year in human history that fish farms provided more seafood than all wild fisheries combined. Although aquaculture growth was not as large as predicted, aquaculture accounted for almost half of total global fish production (46.8 percent) in 2016 and growing. Despite this expansion, the overall industry growth rate has slowed from twelve percent per year to about six percent -- due mostly to a lack of suitable farming sites near to shore, where the majority of today's ocean farms are located. As a consequence, industry is looking farther out to sea. Advancing technologies and husbandry techniques are allowing farmers to grow fish and other seafood in environments that were inaccessible or unsuitable just 20 years ago. Fish farms situated miles out at sea are viewed as a new frontier.
Open Ocean Aquaculture
Raising marine organisms under controlled conditions in exposed, high-energy ocean environments beyond significant coastal influence is a relatively new approach to mariculture. Open ocean aquaculture uses cages, nets, or long-line arrays that are moored, towed or float freely. Research and commercial open ocean aquaculture facilities are in operation or under development in Australia, Chile, China, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, US, and Norway.
The path to open ocean aquaculture has not been smooth. There have been several well-publicized disasters associated with the worldwide development of open ocean aquaculture. Chile was, until recently, the world's largest producer of farmed salmon. Over the course of two decades, in the absence of strong environmental standards and national planning, the country massively expanded production of farmed Atlantic salmon. Then the outsized industry was ravaged by disease nurtured in pens densely packed with fish. Virtually overnight, production declined by half and several thousand jobs were lost. The consequences for the marine environment are still not known.
In 2017, the largest US based salmon open ocean aquaculture operation, owned by Cooke Aquaculture in WA, had an accidental release of 263,000 Atlantic salmon from one of its farms into the Pacific Ocean. Atlantic salmon is an exotic invasive species to the region, and many feared the potential for colonies to establish and cause severe alterations to the local ecosystem. The release was reportedly due to inadequate infrastructure maintenance by Cooke Aquaculture, and this fail resulted in the state of Washington banning the use of open ocean aquaculture for Atlantic salmon in 2018, phasing out the state's industry by 2025.
Aquaculture in the United States
In 1998, NOAA began the National Marine Aquaculture Initiative focused on fish and shellfish farming in the ocean. The goals include a quintupling of total US production to $5 billion per year by 2020. In 2009, the Secretary of Commerce accepted a Fishery Management Plan developed by the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council that would expand open-ocean aquaculture in the Gulf under the auspices of the nation's primary fishery law, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. NOAA Fisheries has developed a Gulf Aquaculture Plan that would allow up to 20 offshore aquaculture operations to be permitted in federal waters of the Gulf over a 10-year period. The proposed rule was published on August 28, 2014 and final rule was published on January 13, 2016. To date, almost all U.S. commercial facilities are sited in waters under state or territorial jurisdiction, with only the Catalina Sea Ranch farm growing shellfish and kelp in federal waters.
Additional domestic seafood production would tend to reduce the nation's dependence on imports. Right now, the United States is a major consumer of aquaculture products – importing between 85% and 95% of seafood consumed. To note, some of the imported seafood was actually caught in US waters, but shipped elsewhere for processing before being imported back to the country.[1] About half of the seafood imported for consumption in the US is from aquaculture operations. Driven by imports, the U.S. seafood trade deficit has grown to over $14 billion annually – the highest it's ever been.[2]
The largest single sector of the U.S. marine aquaculture industry is molluscan shellfish culture (oysters, clams, mussels), which accounts for about two-thirds of total U.S. marine aquaculture production, followed by salmon (about 25 percent) and shrimp (about 10 percent). Current production takes place mainly on land, in ponds, and in coastal waters under state jurisdiction. A smaller, more controversial sector is open ocean fin fish aquaculture, which after a period of growth, has experienced some recent community and political backlash.
Current Open Ocean Fin Fish Aquaculture Operations in the US
- California
- Hubbs-SeaWorld - Hubbs-SeaWorld has proposed an aquaculture facility to be located 4-1/2 miles off the coast of San Diego, California. This facility would occupy an area of 29,000 square meters, or about six football fields. The project would start with half-a-million yellowtail the first year, with the ability to scale up to 10 million fish per year (5,000 metric tons) at full capacity. Read more. Hubbs-SeaWorld received some negative publicity in January 2016 when an article in Voice of San Diego revealed problems with the existing sea bass hatchery in Carlsbad, California.
- Washington
- Cooke Aquaculture has four open ocean aquaculture operations raising Atlantic salmon, including farms off Bainbridge Island, Cypress Island, Port Angeles, and Hope Island. After operating their farms for over 30 years with several accidental releases and inadequate infrastructure maintenance, a massive release of over 263,000 exotic invasive Atlantic salmon were accidentally released into the Puget Sound in August 2018. As a result, the state of Washington decided to prohibit all open ocean salmon aquaculture operations in state waters in 2018, prohibiting all new operations and requiring current operations to end when their leases expire.
- Maine
- Cooke Aquaculture also owns the open ocean salmon aquaculture operation off Eastporte, Maine, after purchasing three farms that were shut down due to continued environmental and economic issues. They currently have 15 pens at the Deep Cove farm, raising about 450,000 Atlantic salmon.
- In March 2013 the Northeast Regional Ocean Council (NROC) released a "white paper" Overview of the Aquaculture Sector in New England.
- Hawaii
- Starting in 2009, Blue Ocean Mariculture raises Hawaiian Kanpachi in open ocean pens off the island of Kona. The farm provides annual monitoring reports on water quality, benthic habitats, and local wildlife, which are available here.
- Puerto Rico
- In 2002, Snapperfarm, Inc started farming cobia and snapper in submerged cages off of Culebra, a small island just off the coast of Puerto Rico. Its unclear if this farm is still in operation, as one of the founders, Brian O'Hanlon, is now in the process of opening a larger farm off of Panama.
Many other countries are investing more heavily in aquaculture than the United States. According to NOAA's Office of Coastal Management, the United States ranked 16th in total aquaculture production in 2017, behind China, India, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Japan, Chile, and Norway.
Technical, Scientific and Environmental Barriers to Expansion
With respect to marine aquaculture, the major barriers to expansion include:
- Clarifying the regulatory, enforcement, and environmental requirements for existing as well as new marine aquaculture operations, including uses of federal waters;
- Developing innovative technologies and management practices to ensure protection of marine ecosystems (see below); and
- Reducing costs and improving the efficiency and sustainability of different systems, including production in land-based and marine locations.
Like agriculture on land, the growth of a new aquaculture industry in the US will no doubt come with some degree of environmental impact. At present, much of the global aquaculture industry focuses on carnivorous and omnivorous fish in intensive operations (e.g., salmon). These fish are raised in a fashion analogous to livestock feedlots on land, a practice that has been widely criticized for its large environmental footprint: destroying habitat, endangering wild populations, and polluting watersheds.
And in the ocean, fish farms are intimately connected to surrounding environments in ways that their counterparts on land are not—water freely flows in and through the net pens that contain the fish.
In reviewing the experience of ocean fish farming internationally, five types of environmental risk have been identified. Each should be addressed if there is to be environmentally responsible industry expansion in the US.
1. Pollution: Fish farms release fish waste, uneaten food, and chemical wastes directly into the ocean with significant potential consequences for the health of the water column and the seafloor below.
Like the poultry farms of Maryland's Eastern Shore, whose wastes flow into Chesapeake Bay, such "over-enrichment" of coastal ecosystems has generally emerged as a major environmental problem, occasionally resulting in algal blooms, habitat loss, and the serious depletion of dissolved oxygen. Aquaculture should proceed only in ways that do not contribute to the general problem of coastal eutrophication (over-enrichment).
2. Escaped Fish: Farmed fish often escape from aquaculture operations. In 2017, the largest US based salmon open ocean aquaculture operation had an accidental release of 263,000 Atlantic salmon from one of its farms off Washington into the Pacific Ocean. The release was reportedly due to inadequate infrastructure maintenance by the owner, Cooke Aquaculture. In October 2009, 40,000 adult salmon escaped from Canada's largest fish farm. From 2004 to 2008, Norwegian authorities reported cod escapes from farms in excess of 800,000 fish. Annual escapes of farmed salmon in Norway ranged from 2 million fish to 10 million fish per year from 1995 to 2005.
Without careful management, even the escape of native species can compromise the genetic fitness of wild fish through interbreeding. In Europe and the US, there are already legitimate concerns that escaped Atlantic salmon could contribute to the eventual extinction of wild salmon populations. If the fish that escape are exotic, or are genetically modified, the risks increase considerably, with the potential to permanently upset ecosystem balance as these newly introduced fish out-compete, displace, or prey on native species, especially if they are able to colonize. Invasive species are listed second only to habitat destruction as a driver of extinction and are classified by the World Conservation Union as one of the four greatest threats to the world's ocean. The kinds of fish and the ways in which they are farmed should be carefully controlled to ensure ocean ecosystems are not harmed by fish escapes from ocean fish farms.
3. Diseases, Parasites, and Chemicals: Ocean fish farms can amplify and spread deadly diseases and parasites into natural environments. To address these threats, farm operators often apply drugs and chemicals, sometimes with subsequent harm to wild animals. White spot disease decimated the global shrimp farming industry in the 1990s.
Today, infectious salmon anemia (ISA) is plaguing the salmon farming industry in Chile, leading to the intentional destruction of millions of farmed fish, with impacts confirmed on wild shrimp and likely on wild salmon. Several accounts have linked salmon farms to disease outbreaks in wild fish populations.
In recent years, there has been a dramatic spread of parasitic sea lice from farms to wild salmon at a cost of nearly $5 billion annually. As for chemicals, fish farmers are known to regularly apply pesticides, antibiotics, fungicides, anti-foulants, and other chemicals. These chemicals dissolve in the water and are carried outside the farms, sometimes with marked effects on surrounding ecosystems. Responsible aquaculture management should ensure that farms minimize the use of all drugs and chemicals, and that farms don't grow to a scale at which they become reliant on regular use of such substances as has happened in other parts of the world.
4. Fish Meal and Fish Oil: Finfish aquaculture as it is currently practiced still consumes more animal protein than it produces as harvestable product. Each year, about 25 million metric tons of fish are "reduced" into fish meal and fish oil—roughly 30 percent of all wild fishery landings. A large portion of this goes to aquaculture, whose claim on global fish meal (68 percent) and fish oil (88 percent) is projected to grow further still. By some estimates, it requires 2-5 pounds of wild fish to produce a single pound of farmed salmon.
Improvements are bringing this ratio closer to one-to-one, but the growth of the global industry is outpacing these improvements. A major concern is that a heavy reliance on wild fish for feed will result in reduced prey for whales, dolphins, sharks, marine birds, and other important parts of marine food webs. For aquaculture to be more sustainable, it must substantially reduce its reliance on wild-caught fish for food and ensure that any remaining use comes from healthy, well-managed fisheries that protect marine food webs.
5. Predator Impacts: Cages full of captive fish will naturally draw predatory fish, marine mammals, diving birds, and other wildlife, and this attraction can lead to harmful consequences. In 2007, the Canadian government reported over 110 sea lions drowned in salmon cages, including one event that claimed over 50 animals. In other instances, farmers may harass or kill predators in an effort to protect their stocks. Responsible aquaculture should employ non-lethal deterrents as a primary course of action and should not unreasonably disrupt wildlife or their use of important marine habitats.
US Federal Government's Role in Aquaculture
To address the growing interest in and the issues related to marine aquaculture, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries launched a revived Aquaculture Program in 2004 to integrate and coordinate the agency's aquaculture policies, research, outreach, and international obligations.
NOAA's aquaculture efforts are administered through a program office at NOAA Fisheries headquarters and encompass activities at NOAA Fisheries science centers and regional offices, NOAA's National Sea Grant program, and NOAA's National Ocean Service.
The vision of NOAA's program is to foster sustainable aquaculture that will create employment and business opportunities in coastal communities; provide safe, sustainable seafood; and complement NOAA's comprehensive strategy for maintaining healthy and productive marine populations, species, and ecosystems and vibrant coastal communities.
The program was instrumental in the development of the National Aquatic Animal Health Plan, the NOAA-USDA Alternative Feeds Initiative, the NOAA National Symposium on Shellfish and the Environment (2008), and the Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture Workshop (2010).
NOAA Fisheries has also produced a 4-minute video that provides an overview of aquaculture in the United States.
Goals and Priorities
NOAA's Aquaculture Program addresses coastal and onshore marine aquaculture, as well as enhancement (hatchery) activities that support commercial and recreational fishing and the restoration of some endangered species. The priority areas of the program are Regulation and Policy, Science and Research, Outreach and Education, and International Activities.
Policy Documents
The NOAA Aquaculture Program is guided by the policy objectives in the National Aquaculture Act of 1980 and the U.S. Department of Commerce Aquaculture Policy. The program is also guided by national fisheries and ocean legislation, including the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, the Coastal Zone Management Act, the Endangered Species Act, and the Marine Mammal Protection Act.
NOAA is working to address the technical and scientific issues related to development of marine aquaculture production in a number of ways. Since 1998, NOAA has funded a total of $15 million through the National Marine Aquaculture Initiative (NMAI), a competitive grants program coordinated by the NOAA Aquaculture Program and NOAA's Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research. In the past NMAI has funded studies of candidate species, health and nutrition, best management practices, ecosystems monitoring and management, engineered production systems, and legal and operational frameworks.
NOAA also has marine aquaculture research capabilities at in-house laboratories within the Fisheries Service and the Ocean Service, and research and extension capabilities through state Sea Grant Programs. Research around the country on oysters, shrimp, crab, and other species has also helped to advance the state of marine aquaculture technology. In addition, aquaculture companies have received support for the development of commercial products and services through the Small Business Innovation Program at NOAA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture and, in the past, through the Saltonstall-Kennedy Program.
In February 2011 NOAA released a draft open-ocean aquaculture policy. The final policies from NOAA and the Department of Commerce were released in June 2011.
In July 2011 Representative Lois Capps (Santa Barbara, CA) introduced the National Sustainable Offshore Aquaculture Act of 2011 (House Resolution 2373). This bill would set a regulatory structure for offshore fish farming development while adopting a "balanced approach" to address environmental, social and economic issues. The legislation would also institute a research program to tackle significant data gaps and make sure offshore aquaculture development is ecologically sustainable.
Need for a National Framework
Currently, access to sites in coastal areas is often difficult as aquaculture must compete with many other coastal uses and secure numerous local, state, and federal permits. Resolving these siting issues is a primary driver for Marine Spatial Planning efforts that are currently taking place in several coastal states. Also, currently, there is no way to obtain a permit for aquaculture in federal waters under existing U.S. laws and regulations. Establishing a regulatory framework with rigorous environmental standards for federal waters was a recommendation by both the Pew Oceans Commission in 2003 and the U.S. Commission on Ocean Policy in 2004. In addition, the report Sustainable Marine Aquaculture: Fulfilling The Promise; Managing The Risks (January 2007) concluded:
- "Congress should enact legislation ensuring that strong environmental standards are in place to regulate the siting and conduct of offshore marine aquaculture."
- "Decisions about siting and permitting of marine aquaculture facilities should give priority to protection of the health of the marine environment in the face of uncertainty about effects on this public resource."
Despite the lack of such a regulatory framework, a Fishery Management Plan for Regulating Offshore Marine Aquaculture in the Gulf of Mexico was released by NOAA in February 2009.
The Environmental Law Institute (ELI), in collaboration with the Harvard Law School Emmett Environmental Law and Policy Clinic and The Ocean Foundation, has completed a comprehensive analysis of the application of the Clean Water Act to aquaculture in federal ocean waters. The resulting white paper reviews whether all offshore aquaculture facilities are or should be point sources requiring a discharge permit; considers EPA's current Effluent Limitation Guidelines for aquaculture, including whether escaped fish are "pollutants;" and discusses how EPA may apply its Ocean Discharge Criteria to offshore aquaculture. Based on this analysis, the study makes recommendations for how EPA can improve its regulation of offshore aquaculture to ensure that it is effective, comprehensive, and predictable. Access the full report and accompanying fact sheet. More info.
Conclusions and A Path Forward
Aquaculture has the potential to play a significant role in meeting our growing demand for seafood. However, it is important that the US establish policies to ensure that the aquaculture industry grows sensibly and safely. In order for the US to be a leader in environmentally responsible open-ocean aquaculture, it should craft a unified national vision rather than accept the current fragmented regulatory arena.
Over the last decade, a number of high-level commissions and advisory bodies have made a range of recommendations concerning the principles and provisions of a coordinated, federal regulatory system for open-ocean aquaculture. The general consensus recommendations are for the United States to establish a comprehensive framework for open-ocean aquaculture that is rooted in the precautionary approach. Further, that framework should establish strong, legally-binding environmental standards for the development of the industry, while effectively protecting the broader public interest, preserving wild fish stocks and protecting ecosystems.
As articulated in Right from the Start, a recent report by Ocean Conservancy, four overarching principles of a responsible national open-ocean aquaculture policy can be summarized as follows:
Principle 1 – A Comprehensive Structure
Open-ocean aquaculture should proceed only under a comprehensive national framework, including new federal legislation, to guide the industry's development. This framework should integrate with relevant national and state laws and regional ocean planning and management efforts. NOAA should be the primary regulatory agency enforcing Congress's vision—with the duty of ensuring environmental protection while deciding whether, where and under what conditions to permit aquaculture in federal waters.
Principle 2 – A Precautionary Approach
Precaution must be the core operating principle for this new use of US ocean waters. Given the inherent risks and uncertainties, and the natural tension between economic development and preservation of public trust resources, the national framework must ensure vibrant marine ecosystems are protected to the maximum extent possible. The governing structure should permit open-ocean aquaculture only when independent, peer-reviewed science provides reasonable assurances that it will avoid negative impacts, including cumulative effects, on marine ecosystems.
Principle 3 – Rigorous Environmental Standards
The national framework must establish rigorous environmental standards to guide federal rulemaking and industry performance. These standards must address fish escapes, disease, pollution, chemicals, impacts on wildlife and predators, and reliance on wild fish for aquaculture feed. Standards should be performance-based and should regulate facility siting, permitting, monitoring, and enforcement. For maximum effectiveness, the standards should provide incentives to facilities for performance beyond permit requirements and significantly penalize facilities that fall short.
Principle 4 – Protect the Commons
The marine environment is a public trust resource held by the government for the benefit of all its citizens. In every respect, the development of open-ocean aquaculture should be subject to a full, meaningful public process. Expansion of fish farming into this environment should not proceed unless public resources are adequately protected, the public is fairly compensated for the use of its resources, and facility owners are held liable for damages to the marine environment.
Additional Thoughts
The scientists who are working on an Ocean Health Index have published several articles concerning aquaculture, including Fish in, Fish Out--A Red Herring!, Aquaculture: (Not) Half the Fish We Eat, Inside the Mariculture Sub-Goal and Top Ten Amazing Aquaculture Facts.

When people call the network upfronts one long song and dance, they're not kidding. Especially if the network is NBC — which opened the week of splashy fall-schedule presentations at Radio City Music Hall, with a spoof video imagining many of NBC's returning shows transformed into musicals: Grimm, Parenthood, SVU (with an animate corpse as Mariska Hargitay sings), Parks and Recreation's Leslie Knope singing "Popular" from Wicked, and most memorably, Meet the Press' David Gregory doing a bump and grind with showgirls.
This was followed by an actual show-stopper: Smash stars Megan Hilty and Katharine McPhee teaming on the signature song "Let Me Be Your Star," capped by the Voice judges turning their chairs around, with NBC Entertainment chairman Bob Greenblatt sitting in Blake Shelton's fourth chair. All a not-so-subtle reminder of the importance of The Voice to the network's fortunes — for the first time, the singing competition will be part of the fall lineup, occupying three hours between Monday and Tuesday — and the symbolic importance of Smash as Greenblatt's highest-profile passion project to date. (The show, rewarded an early renewal, won't return until next midseason, so it can air straight through without interruptions.) For all of its ups and downs and creative growing pains, Smash has bragging rights as one of NBC's few modest successes this season, as the struggling network continues to rebuild.
Though Greenblatt promises he won't go so far as to musicalize his entire schedule — see the new lineup here — he certainly hasn't been shy about playing musical chairs. Which some might liken to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic — because there's no discernible logic to renewing marginal comedies like the reviled Whitney and the acclaimed cult item Community, then pairing them on Friday. The latter move is an acknowledgment that most Community fans time-shift it anyway, so maybe it doesn't matter when it airs. (I'd argue it still deserves a Thursday slot more than the buzz-free Up All Night.)

The new Outlook Express: Windows Mail demoed
When outlook express was used, I liked to go into the dbx files from time to time and delete/clear the junk out of my inbox, outbox, sent, and deleted folders to ensure my system stayed healthy.
I have found on Windows Mail that searching for the hidden files are not as easy as they were for outlook express. Normally, I search for *.dbx and included the hidden files/folders.
I tried to do a search for *.eml in windows mail and my search came up with nothing the first time. Then, I searched for .eml the 2nd time and got nothing again but noticed in the name portion of the search frame that the search was searching for name:.eml which was not correct. So, I searched for .eml again and although I found the hidden files of Windows Mail, I was not happy that all the files were shown all bunched up instead of in their perspective folders. Why would Microsoft make this so different?
I do like the junk mail option...it performs rather well. But I don't like the fact that I can no longer view my contacts down the left lower side of the windows mail client like I did previously in outlook express. I've tried to get them to show up but according to Microsoft, they'll remain hidden until needed. What moron thought of this, I wonder?
