Overwhelmingly yet sublimely beautiful. Moody.
At times brilliantly blue, ominously somber; at other times buried in a mass of brooding clouds.
The lake is magical, enchanting - a remnant of fiery times, a reflector of its adjacent forested slopes, a product of Nature's grand design.
Provided by the National Park Service
Few places on earth command overwhelming awe from observers, but Crater Lake, in south central Oregon, certainly does. Even in a region of volcanic wonders, Crater Lake can only be described in superlatives. Stories of the deep blue lake can never prepare visitors for their first breathtaking look from the brink of this 6 mile wide caldera which was created by the eruption and collapse of Mt. Mazama almost 7,000 years ago. Even seasoned travelers gasp at the twenty-mile circle of cliffs, tinted in subtle shades and fringed with hemlock, fir, and pine: all this in a lake of indescribable blue.
Crater Lake National Park is host to a diverse array of activities. While enjoying the natural scenic wonders, park visitors may hike in old growth forests, participate in a variety of interpretive activites, camp out or stay in an historic hotel, or even cross- country ski during the eight month long winters which are experienced here in the high Cascades.
Preserving this environment for the continued use and enjoyment of the public is also a major goal of the National Park Service. Resource managers are invloved in studies on lake ecology, forest ecosystems, geologic processes, even the role of fire in maintaining healthy relationships between the forests and the land. Their work yields valuable data on the natural systems which have created and maintained that which we fondly call Crater Lake National Park.
Crater Lake National Park has been recommended as a wilderness preserve, a place where we may forget ourselves for a time and enjoy a surge of healthy outdoor exploration. Here, we may rediscover ourselves and learn that material things do not necessarily constitute our richest possessions. This blue gem of the Cascades certainly moves us deeply when we imagine the awesome power which created this wonderful place.
Visitors to the park enjoy multiple opportunities to explore the caldera and enjoy all the spectacular view points on the 33 mile long rim drive. A peaceful guided boat tour, hiking trails and interpretive programs are offered in the summer and Ranger lead snowshoe walks and many trails for cross-country skiing in the winter.
Crater Lake is widely known for its intense blue color and spectacular views. During summer, visitors may navigate the Rim Drive around the lake, enjoy boat tours on the lake surface, stay in the historic Crater Lake Lodge, camp at Mazama Village, or hike some of the park's various trails including Mt. Scott at 8,929 ft. Diverse interpretive programs enhance visitors' knowledge and appreciation of this national park, 90% of which is managed as wilderness. The winter brings some of the heaviest snowfall in the country, averaging 533 inches per year. Although park facilities mostly close for this snowy season, visitors may view the lake during fair weather, enjoy cross-country skiing, and participate in weekend snowshoe hikes.
Park History
Local Native Americans witnessed the collapse of Mount Mazama and kept the event alive in their legends. One ancient legend of the Klamath people closely parallels the geologic story which emerges from today's scientific research. The legend tells of two Chiefs, Llao of the Below World and Skell of the Above World, pitted in a battle which ended up in the destruction of Llao's home, Mt. Mazama. The battle was witnessed in the eruption of Mt. Mazama and the creation of Crater Lake.
The Klamaths revered the lake and the surrounding area, keeping it undiscovered by white explorers until 1853. That year, on June 12, three gold prospectors, John Wesley Hillman, Henry Klippel, and Isaac Skeeters, came upon a long, sloping mountain. Upon reaching its highest point, a huge, awe-inspiring lake was visible. "This is the bluest lake we've ever seen," they reported, and named it Deep Blue Lake. But gold was more on the minds of settlers at the time and the discovery was soon forgotten.
Captain Clarence Dutton was the next man to make a discovery at Crater Lake. Dutton commanded a U.S. Geological Survey party which carried the Cleetwood, a half-ton survey boat, up the steep slopes of the mountain then lowered it to the lake. From the stern of the Cleetwood, a piece of pipe on the end of a spool of piano wire sounded the depth of the lake at 168 differnt points. Dutton's soundings of 1,996 feet were amazingly close to the sonar readings made in 1959 that established the lake's deepest point at 1,932 feet.
William Gladstone Steel devoted his life and fortune to the establishment and management of Crater Lake National Park. His preoccupation with the lake began in 1870. In his efforts to bring recognition to the park, he participated in lake surveys that provided scientific support. He named many of the lake's landmarks, including Wizard Island, Llao Rock, and Skell Head. Steel's dream was realized on May 22, 1902 when President Theodore Roosevelt signed the bill giving Crater Lake national park status. And because of Steel's involvement, Crater Lake Lodge was opened in 1915 and the Rim Drive was completed in 1918.

Did You Know?
Because Crater Lake is filled almost entirely by snowfall, it is one of the clearest lakes anywhere in the world. Scientists using a reflector called a Secchi disk commonly record clarity readings of 120 feet. On June 25, 1997 scientists recorded a record clarity reading of 142 feet.
A small volcanic island, Wizard Island, rises 764 feet above the surface of the lake on its west side. A small crater, 300 feet across and 90 feet deep, rests on the summit.
Crater Lake was named for this beautiful, symmetrical crater by James Sutton, editor of the Oregon Sentinel in Jacksonville, in 1869.
Scientists have identified 157 species of phytoplankton and 12 species of zooplankton in the lake. The density and diversity of these minute life forms is restricted by low concentrations of nitrogen in the lake. Large colonies of moss circle the lake at depths of up to 400 feet. At the bottom of the lake, communities of bacteria grow around at least two areas of hydrothermal activity. Two species of fish, rainbow trout and kokanee salmon, also thrive in the lake, the result of stocking between 1888 and 1942.
Sinnott Memorial Overlook and Museum
Built in 1930 and 1931, the Sinnott Memorial Overlook is located below the caldera rim at Rim Village. A short but steep path begins near the Rim Visitor Center. The Overlook and its accompany museum are available to visitors as staff is available. Exhibits focus on the history of research on the lake and the geologic history of historic Mt. Mazama. Ranger talks relating the formation of Crater Lake are given from the Overlook daily at 11:00 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 2:00 p.m., and 3:30 p.m from June 26 through September 5th.
Boat Tours
The boat tours are accessible only by hiking the one mile Cleetwood Cove trail located on the north side of Crater Lake. It climbs 700 feet in elevation and is recommended only for those in good physical condition. It is not recommended if you have heart, breathing, or leg problems.
Temperatures on the lake may be much cooler than those at the trailhead so bring extra clothing and a hat. There is no water available at Cleetwood Cove. You will need to bring your own. Composting toilets are available at the boat dock. A vault toilet is available at the trailhead.
Tickets are purchased at the top of the trail. No reservations are taken. Allow at least one hour to drive from Rim Village to Cleetwood Cove parking area and to hike down the steep trail.
What can we learn from Crater Lake? Why is it important geologically and ecologically? And when's the last time you were inside a caldera? This two hour, ranger lead tour is operated by the Xanterra Parks & Resorts in cooperation with the National Park Service to provide visitors with an expanded knowledge of the lake and its resources, whether visible, submerged, or intangible. Boat tours are scheduled to begin in early July - however, inquire at the park visitor centers to insure correct information.
Cost: $20.00 for adults $12.00 for children 11 and under and free for those 24 months and under. Prices Subject to Change.
Wizard Island Options:
Boats stop at Wizard Island. It is possible to stay on the island and take a later boat back. However, your return journey is dependent upon available space on returning boats. You are not guaranteed a ride back until the final tour of the day, possibly arriving at the Cleetwood Dock as late as 6:30 p.m. There are two hiking trails on Wizard Island. There is no camping allowed on the Island. Keep in mind that Wizard Island is a remarkable place: an infant cinder cone with all the expected hazards: extremely rough lava, loose cinder, and dry conditions. Use caution when hiking. A pit toilet is located at the dock area. There are no other facilities provided for the public on Wizard Island.
Hiking and Biking
This national park has over 180,000 acres of which only 11,500 are taken up by the lake. The remaining 93% is land based, most of it backcountry. In fact, portions of the park await designation as wilderness. There are approximately 90 miles of hiking trails in the park -- with each one offering the visitor a chance to take a closer look at nature or study a geological feature. You can hike for several days or wander quietly as long as you like. In addition to the many trails that start inside the park, there are several connections with paths in the surrounding National Forests. A good example is the Pacific Crest Trail, which runs all the way from the Mexico to Canada and passes through Crater Lake's backcountry.
No bicycles are allowed on any park trails. Bicycling is allowed only on paved roads, the Grayback Motor Nature Trail, and the dirt trail entering the park on the east side near the Pinnacles.
Start your trip at the information desk located in the Steel Center in Munson Valley or the Rim Village Information Center. Park staff will also issue free backcountry permits for overnight stays and inform you of the regulations designed to protect these areas.
Bring plenty of food and water. Wear comfortable shoes or boots. If you plan on drinking stream water, you need to treat it with a reliable purification system. You should also be prepared for any extremes of weather. Temperatures can change dramatically in the course of a day. Snow has fallen in all twelve months of the year here. This information should be helpful in planning your trip to Crater Lake. Take time to enjoy the spectacular views of the lake but include time to relax and enjoy the green forests, cool mountain streams, and other magnificent features of Crater Lake's backcountry.

Wildlife Viewing Opportunities
Spring at Crater Lake National Park- is a very long season or merely a heartbeat, depending on your perspective. With the disappearance of the several feet of snow that blankets the area until early summer, wildflowers bloom, transitory birds return, trees bud, and animals play in the abundance of summer. The largest park residents are the deer and elk that roam the woods of the park from June until October. A herd of pronghorn antelope also migrate across the Pumice Desert in the northern end of the park in early summer as the snow finally leaves the ground. These ungulates, a word used to describe hoofed animals, indicate that summer is here; that the plants and trees are in the midst of their growing season.
Pine martens, mice, squirrels, and rabbits are just a sampling of winter wildlife who stay active by feeding on pine seeds, hemlock bark and other gifts left by summer's vegetation. Deer must migrate to lower elevations, sometimes traveling up to thirty miles to the Rogue Valley where a food supply is still available. Deer and elk feed mainly on different types of grasses and lichens, as well as twigs and bark of hemlock, lodgepole pine, and Douglas fir. Carnivores, or meat eaters, don't suffer the same food loss as deer when plants are snowed in.
Elk are the largest of the park's animals, with females weighing as much as 700 lbs. and males weighing up to 1100 lbs. They commonly come into the south and western areas of the park as snow allows, usually around mid-June. The species native to the park, Roosevelt Elk, were hunted nearly to extinction in the park by early settlers. To help the population, 15 elk were from Wallowa County, Oregon. Oregon's first state game warden, William L. Finley, brought in 15 elk from the National Elk Refuge in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in 1912, to live in a protected enclosure at Billy Meadows north of Enterprise. Another 15 were brought in 1913. The Crater Lake elk are descendants of these. The effort was successful; today, more than 160 elk (approx) have been counted within the park in recent summers. Deer winter with elk and generally live in the same regions.
All of these beautiful animals travel in both daylight and during evening hours. Please obey all speed regulations and be very watchful as you travel park roadways for your safety and theirs. Henry David Thoreau wrote, "Perhaps what moves us in winter is some reminiscence of far-off summer. The cold is merely superficial - it is summer still at the core, far, far within." It is the wakeful summer core that maintains the sleeping winter of Crater Lake. Deer and elk are a welcome indication of this transition.
There are two developed campgrounds at Crater Lake. Mazama Campground is located near the Annie Springs Entrance Station. Lost Creek Campground is accessed by taking East Rim Drive to the Pinnacles road. Campsites are all on a first come, first served basis. No reservations are taken. Camping opportunities are also available at several locations outside the park.

Butterfly Valves
Butterfly valves are versatile and can be used at many different industrial applications, fluid, sizes, pressures, temperatures and connections at a relative low cost.
The development of this type of valve has been more recent than other ones. A major conviction on saving energy in the installations was an advantage for its introduction, due its head loss is small. At the beginning they were used in low pressure installations service, but technologic improvements, especially in the elastomer field let their extension to higher performances.
As of any quarter turn valve, the operation of the butterfly valve is easier understood. The closure member is a disc that turns only 90º; to be fully open or closed for quick operation.
As compared to Ball valve and Globe valve, friction of Butterfly shaft is much lesser. Hence, wear and tear is minimum. Another added advantage is a smaller torque is needed which equates to a smaller actuator. Net benefit, lower cost for actuator, be it is manual, hydraulic or electrical motorized.
Butterfly valves geometry is simple and compact, therefore, it is an economical valve category to manufacture in material usage and post mechanization.
Its reduced size makes its installation a breeze. Gate and globe valves are naturally heavier with slightly more complex geometry.
Butterfly valve's head loss is smaller as flow goes aerodynamically around the disc when valve is full open. Although the head loss is higher than in spherical and gate valves, but because their flow zone are totally free from obstacles, it is clearly lower than in globe valves.
Butterfly valves also work seamlessly with any fluid, gas, liquid and also with solids in suspension. As a difference against Gate, Globe or Ball valves where cavities present which solid can be form to impair on the valve operation.
Pressure and temperature are one of the determining factors and correlated designing factors. At a constant pressure, rising temperature means a lower performance for the valve, since some materials have lower capacity. As of gate, globe and ball valves, the butterfly valve can be manufactured with metallic seats (metal-Metal contact) that allows high pressure-temperatures applications.

Music documentary news you maybe missed:
Oasis are overrated, OK? There, we said it. A pretty good rock 'n' roll combo transmogrified by laddish swagger, juicy sibling rivalry, admittedly impressive sneers, and the fortunate timing to emerge coincident with New Labour-ish Cool Brittania (remember that?) into, briefly, the world's biggest band. So you can count us among those not sent into paroxysms by the news last week, which you probably didn't miss, that a definitive Oasis documentary is in the works.
At least, you could have if not for the film-to-be's pedigree, with the Amy/Senna team of Asif Kapadia and James Gay-Rees set to produce, as initially reported by Screen Daily and Variety. Director Mat Whitecross also knows his way around period-specific music stories, having previously made the Ian Dury biopic Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll and Spike Island, a narrative feature about a bunch of friends trying to blag their way into the epochal 1990 Stone Roses gig referenced in the title.
The filmmakers' collective track record is enough to get us at least interested, at most potentially excited, about the project, little as we may hunger for the promised "unprecedented," "candid" access to the inner workings of Noel and Liam Gallagher's fraternal discord. (Just getting both to sign up for the film is an achievement in itself.) Plus, whenever Liam appears in a music doc he is invariably hilarious, so there's that to look forward to. London-based Independent Films began shopping the doc to buyers at last week's American Film Market, but no news yet on a release date.
And then there's this:
Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone docs among Int'l Documentary Association nominees
Ah, the nip in the air, the lengthening nights, the falling leaves … it can only mean awards season is upon us again. The first proper blast of doc-honoring comes from the International Documentary Association, which on Wednesday announced the nominees for the 31st annual IDA Awards, to be dispensed December 5. Not surprisingly, given Variety's pronouncement last week of a "banner year" for music documentaries, our favorite subgenre figures prominently, with the aforementioned Amy and Liz Garbus's What Happened, Miss Simone? among the six nominees for best feature doc.
More music doc love from IDA: though it was passed over in the top category, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck won the award for editing in IDA's pre-ordained Creative Recognition categories. And Don't Think I've Forgotten: Cambodia's Lost Rock and Roll, about the thriving Cambodia rock and pop scene that was obliterated by the rise of the Khmer Rouge, is up for the ABC News VideoSource Award for best use of news footage in a documentary.
In the meantime, according to The New York Times, there are Academy Award campaigns a-bornin' for Amy and Montage of Heck as well as this year's third high-profile 27 Club profile, Janis: Little Girl Blue. Amy is being reckoned a near sure-thing Oscar nominee in the early handicapping. The 124 Oscar-eligible feature docs will be winnowed to a shortlist of 15 in December, with the five nominees revealed January 14.
And more again …
• For our friends down under, Gimme Some Truth, which we believe to be Australia's only dedicated music doc festival (Aussies, please correct us if necessary) announced the lineup Monday for the third annual edition, running December 4-9 in Perth.
Put on by local community radio station RTR-FM, the seven-film lineup includes Prison Songs, billed as Australia's first documentary musical, in which inmates at Darwin's infamous Berrimah Prison tell their stories through music; Y/Our Music, a fascinating omnibus doc bridging Thailand's traditional and contemporary music scenes; and Her Aim Is True, the story of pioneering rock photographer Jini Dellaccio. (Read MFW interviews with the directors of Y/Our Music and Her Aim Is True.)
• Also screening at Gimme Some Truth is They Will Have to Kill Us First, which explores the creative and personal lives of Malian musicians exiled from the country's north by sectarian conflict and last week earned what we are sure is a rare distinction for a music documentary, a write-up in Foreign Policy. Well done, TWHTKUF team. Director Joanna Schwartz talked to MFW about her troubling but hopeful doc back in April when the was starting its festival run.

How Do I Use Water-Testing Kits?
It isn't as hard as you think to find out if something is wrong with your water. You probably already suspect that the problem is there and have for some time. Things like things floating in the water you draw from the tap or the way it smells when you get in the shower are clues that not everything is right with your water.
The taste alone should give it away because pure water should taste good. Why do so many people never take action to protect themselves from bad or nasty water? The reason is because over time you get used to the taste and smell of the water that comes out of your tap and you hardly notice it anymore. You get used to adding chemicals to prevent water spots on your dishes and to washing residue out of the bottom of water glasses. If you notice these things, it is probably time to test your water to determine how much filtration you need.
The fact is that the water situation is becoming worse year after year, especially for those that live in or around urban areas. Some urban areas are becoming more aware of water's huge impact on their local population. For the most part, however, cities remain completely unaware that people want more from their water. With all the politics about streets and crime, most cities completely forget about water. These are good reasons for learning how to use water-testing kits yourself so you can take action to protect the water that you and your family consume.
If you are on a well water system, then you need to be the most aware because you are the most affected by the environment and by how the community treats its watershed. Unless filtered out, everything that goes down the drain eventually ends up in the public water supply. This includes everything from fluids from cars to industrial waste.
If you are on an urban water system that goes through a water-processing plant before the water is delivered to citizens of the community, you have to worry about the chlorine that the city adds in for sanitation. Plus, public filtration systems only perform some very basic water filtering. Lots of contaminants get through public water filters or are added between the water-processing plant and your home.
When you look for a water-testing kit, it is important to keep in mind how dangerous your community's water is. To use a water-testing kit to test for chlorine, you can actually use a swimming pool test kit. These can be purchased at your local hardware store and will last a long time if used properly. You can also get advice on the right water-testing kits for to fit your needs from a qualified water filtration expert like those at Aquasana.
Using water-testing kits means getting a sample of your water and adding a chemical agent that changes color to tell you the nature and density of contaminants that are in your water. Compare the color to the chart that comes with your water-testing kit to interpret the results. Don't be surprised if you find that the amount of contaminants in your water by far exceeds what is healthy for your family to drink.
You may need to order a specific water-testing kit to provide for your situation, especially if you are worried about specific chemicals in your water. You can also have a sample testing by a local governmental agency, such as the health department. If you are worried enough about your water you may even need to send it off to be tested in a professional lab. No matter what you do, you will probably find that the water contains chemicals you don't want in your water. With that valuable information, you can buy the right water filtration system based on what you need to filter out. The experts at Aquasana can help you every step of the way.

The World Table Tennis Championships 2013 took place in Paris, France from 13-20th May 2013
By Martin Hughes
Owner and Editor
The World Table Tennis Championships first took place in 1926 in London, England.
However, since 2000 the World Table Tennis Championship has been split into two separate competitions. Team events are now held in even numbered years, whilst individual events (singles and doubles) are held in odd numbered years.
So 2013 was the year for the individual events to be contested and, 10 years after last staging the event, France was once again the host country.
The LIEBHERR 2013 World Table Tennis Championships were staged in the Paris suburb of Bercy from 13th to 20th May 2013.

Jean-Philippe Gatien
1993 World Table Tennis Champion
The French Table Tennis Federation were very keen to host the 2013 World Championships because it was 10 years since they last hosted the event in the same venue, and 20 years since the only French player to win the World Title, Jean-Philippe Gatien, won in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1993.
So the Qatar Table Tennis Association, who also wanted to host the event, agreed to let France be the only bidder to host the event.
The venue for the tournament was the Palais Omnisport de Paris Bercy with the National Institute of Sport staging the qualification rounds.
The seating capacity at the Palais Omnisport de Paris Bercy was 13,500 and up to 20 tables were used.
The draw was made on Saturday 11th May 2013 with the qualification stages commencing on Monday 13th May 2013.

2003 World Table Tennis Champion
A decade ago, in the Paris suburb of Bercy at the 2003 World Championships, there was a surprise winner in the Men's Singles final.
Austria's Werner Schlager beat South Korea's Joo Saehyuk to take the prestigious title of World Champion.
The 30-year-old and number 6 seed won 11-9, 11-6, 6-11, 12-10, 8-11, 12-10.
It was such a surprise because Chinese players contested all the finals except the men's singles final.

From Upstate New York to Eastern Kentucky
CINCINNATI (Aug. 31, 2006)—Michele Bertot, the new pastoral coordinator of Glenmary's Holy Redeemer mission in Vanceburg, Ky., is excited by her new position. And the most exciting thing, she says, are the people of this 25-family mission church. "They have been very welcoming and they are so enthusiastic," she says. "Their faith is alive. They are so eager to share their faith and I'm eager to share faith with them."In her first few days on the job she is finding that life in Lewis County, located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, is much more relaxed than what she is used to. She says that "it feels really good!"
Prior to coming to Eastern Kentucky, Michele was the pastoral administrator of an 800-family church, Holy Name of Jesus, in the Diocese of Rochester. Michele and her husband, Ted, moved to Vanceburg on Aug. 10 and her first official day on the job in Vanceburg was Aug. 23.
Holy Redeemer is one of eight missions in Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Virginia staffed by Glenmary pastoral coordinators. These professional lay ministers are appointed the canonical administrators of these mission parishes by the local bishop. She, like all Glenmary's pastoral coordinators, is the official presence of the Catholic Church in her county, is responsible for the growth and development of the parish community and for fostering ecumenism, evangelization and social outreach. She holds a master of arts in theology from St. Bernard School of Theology and Ministry in Rochester.
Glenmary Father Larry Goulding, who also recently moved to Lewis County, will serve as sacramental minister to both Holy Redeemer and Sts. John and Elizabeth in neighboring Carter County.
For Michele and Ted, their move to Vanceburg and her work with Glenmary is something that has been percolating in the background for over seven years. When they learned of the job opportunity in Vanceburg it came at a perfect moment in their professional and personal lives. "We've wanted to do this type of ministry for quite some time," Michele says, "and this seemed to be a perfect fit for us."
Life is different in Kentucky from what they were used to in New York, but that's OK with the Bertots. "We're taking things in stride and opening ourselves up to the local community and to the parish community," she says. Since May, they have visited Vanceburg frequently and many parishioners say they feel like they have known both Michele and Ted forever!
For the moment, the Bertots are just trying to learn as much as they can about the parish and the county. They are looking forward to some upcoming events like the Lewis County School Fair at which the mission will have a booth with Catholic literature available. And in December, there is the county-wide ecumenical Project Merry Christmas which helps provide a Christmas shopping experience for the low-income residents of Lewis County.
"We're looking forward to meeting the folks in the county," she says. "We're feeling more and more at home each day."

Hey all.
This is a true lifesaver for anyone with ANY SKIN ISSUES!!! and is brilliant for those of us (me,me,me) who want to fight sun damage and ageing.
The peel can be used once or twice a week depending on your skins condition and you can see results after just one appliction.After about a month or two of religious use the condition of your skin would improve so much your mother wouldn't recognize you.
This is the peel I use for have oily skin. If you dry skin or if you want to know more about the science of these peels, visit my other blog here http://beinghealthyishot.blogspot.com/
What you need:
Juice of half a tomato
2bls lemon juice
2tbls plain natural youghurt
What to do:
Mix all the ingredients well and apply to a cleansed face using a make up brush. I use a CLEAN fan brush to apply the mask all over my face you could also use a foundation brush or a sponge.
Let the mask settle for 15-20minutes and then wash off with warm water
Simple as that:-)

Legal protection of biotechnological inventions Frequently Asked Questions on scope and objectives of the EU Directive (98/44)
A number of questions have been raised recently concerning the Directive (98/44) of the EU's Council of Ministers and the European Parliament on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions, the so-called 'biotech patents Directive'. For example, there have been questions raised as to how the Directive affects access to the human genome data and possible restrictions on the research and applications for which this data could be used. The following set of answers to a number of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) is intended to clarify and explain the provisions of the Directive and to allay any concerns.
Why are patents necessary in the area of biotechnology?
Patents provide an incentive to innovation. Without the safeguard provided by patents, industry and other inventors would be unwilling to invest their time and money in research and development. This applies to biotechnology as well as any other area of technology. Indeed given the considerable amount of high risk investment that is often required in the area of biotechnology, particularly in the field of genetic engineering, adequate patent protection is even more essential to encourage the investment required to create jobs and maintain the European Union's competitiveness in this crucial field. Indeed, the key role of adequate patent protection in the creation of a dynamic; knowledge based economy was explicitly underlined by the March 2000 Lisbon Summit conclusions.
This is why Directive 98/44 on the legal protection of biotechnological inventions was proposed and, after lengthy and thorough discussions within the European Parliament and among Member States, adopted.
Much consideration was given during those discussions to the ethical aspects of biotechnological inventions. The resulting Directive both addresses these ethical aspects and provides the necessary incentives to encourage the research and development.
Can the discovery of DNA or the human genome be patented under the Biotech Patents Directive?
No. Neither DNA nor the human genome can be patented under the Biotech Patents Directive because they are not inventions but discoveries i.e. they existed already, they extend knowledge but that knowledge has thereafter to be applied to be technically useful.
The Directive states explicitly that discoveries cannot be patented. Yet, it also states that the patentability of an industrial process or a product received as a result of such a process is not prevented by the mere fact that during this industrial application DNA is used. In fact, in this case it is not the DNA as such that is patented but the industrial application or isolation process using DNA.
Surely all biotechnological inventions which deal with human, vegetable, or animal genes involve materials which already occur in nature and can therefore under no circumstances be invented, but only discovered?
Discoveries, which do not extend human ability, but only human knowledge, are by their very nature not patentable. This is certainly the case with the mere sequencing of a genome which belongs to the area of discovery and for that reason alone cannot be the subject of patent protection. The Directive confirms and reinforces this position.
It is different however if a DNA sequence is released from its natural surroundings by means of a technical procedure and is made available for the first time to a commercial application. Here there is a step taken from knowing to being able. Such a gene is new in the patent sense and therefore patentable, if it was not previously accessible to the public as such, and thus technically was not available.
The position that was agreed by both the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers after much discussion was that patents for inventions comprising of, or based on, gene sequences should be allowed. This position took account of the Opinion of the Group of Advisers on the Ethical Implications of Biotechnology to the European Commission. Indeed the Group of Advisers fully recognised the stimulus provided by patents for medical research.
The Directive therefore provides that inventions based, on or comprising of, gene sequences or partial gene sequences can be patented provided that they satisfy the normal criteria for any invention namely that they are novel, involve an inventive step and are capable of industrial application. In this last respect, the Directive took account of some of the controversy surrounding some of the earlier patent applications for gene sequences that were filed and indeed granted before the Directive was agreed. In particular the Directive makes clear that patents should not be granted where the application does not include specific reference to the industrial application of the gene sequence.
But isn't the Directive unclear on whether gene-based inventions can be patented?
The relevant provision in the Directive relating to this issue is Article 5. Concerns have been expressed is that there is a contradiction between the first two paragraphs of this article. The first paragraph provides that the human body, at the various stages of its formation and development, and the simple discovery of one of its elements, including the sequence or partial sequence of a gene cannot constitute patentable inventions (emphasis added). This paragraph is clearly in line with the basic principle that discoveries are not patentable.
The second paragraph of Article 5 states however that an element isolated from the human body or otherwise produced by means of a technical process, including the sequence or partial sequence of a gene, may constitute a patentable invention, even if the structure of that element is identical to that of a natural element. As noted above, the invention arises from the isolation of a particular gene from its natural surroundings by means of a technical process. Of course to be patentable, that invention would still need to satisfy the criteria of novelty, inventiveness and industrial applicability.
Paragraphs 1 and 2 are therefore consistent with each other.
Let us take a hypothetical example. Since the human genome provides information related to growth and repair, it may be possible to take a DNA sequence and to isolate from it a particular gene that relates to hair loss. Company A wants to develop a shampoo for baldness. It successfully develops a way to isolate the gene responsible for baldness from the DNA sequence. The underlying genetic material remains free - other researchers can do work on growth and repair. But the technique developed to isolate the gene is hugely complex, involving identification, purification and classification techniques which are costly to develop. Without human intervention, it would have been impossible to isolate the gene. The isolation process cannot therefore be said to occur in nature and the product the isolated gene - can be patented. It is a "new" in terms of patent law, involves an inventive step and has industrial applications. By taking out a patent, Company A has protected the considerable investment made in its invention.
But aren't the techniques for isolating and even determining the function of particular genes now becoming more routine?
The rapid advancement of the technology and our understanding in this area has indeed made the isolation and manufacture of genes more straightforward. It may also be possible now to deduce the function of a gene from a computer based comparison with other genes. These advances in technology are taken into account when a patent is examined in particular in respect of whether the invention in the patent application possesses an inventive step. If it is decided by either the patent offices or the national courts that there is no inventive step then the patent will either be refused or revoked.
But patents for gene based inventions will surely inhibit research in the area of gene technology and restrict access and use of the data on the human genome?
The raw fundamental data on the human genome that has been, and is still being, produced by the Human Genome Project (HUGO) and private sector companies is not patentable. Therefore access to that data will not be restricted or encumbered by patents. Intellectual property protection for gene based inventions will however play an important role in stimulating investment into using this raw data on the human genome to develop important new products, for example in the area of health care.
Moreover all patent systems in Europe include exceptions to the rights provided by a patent so as to allow for research and experimentation on the subject matter covered by a patent. In addition, safeguards such as compulsory licences are provide to ensure that patent holders do not abuse their rights for example by charging unreasonable fees for the use of their inventions.
Finally, the requirement to fully disclose the invention in the patent application brings into the public domain for use by other researchers information that might otherwise be kept secret.
Does the Directive allow for methods of cloning human beings to be patented?
No. Article 6 of the Directive clearly states that the following are not patentable on the basis that their commercial exploitation would be contrary to the public order or morality:
This is precisely why European Patent EP 69 53 51 on transgenic stem cells granted by the European Patent Office to the University of Edinburgh in December 1999 would have been illegal under the terms of Article 6 of the Directive.
Does the Directive override national laws governing for example research activities?
No. The biotech patents Directive determines only what, in terms of patent law, can and cannot be patented. A patent does not give any positive right to use an invention. The use of any invention, and indeed the research and development leading up to that invention, are still governed by general national and European laws.
For example, take the case of genetically-modified organisms (GMOs). The biotech patents Directive makes it possible to patent both the process for genetically modifying plants and also the resulting plants, although not a particular variety of plant. However, if a Member State legislates against the planting of GMO crops, then the patent holder still cannot grow that crop in that Member State.
When must the Directive be implemented by the Member States?
The Directive must be implemented by the 30th July 2000. The Commission is working with the Member States to help them to implement the Directive correctly and on time and has already started to receive notifications of implementing regulations from the Member States.
As the Netherlands has already challenged the legality of this Directive, what incentive is there for Member States to implement it by the 30th July deadline?
The Biotech Patents Directive was approved by a majority of Member States and by the European Parliament in 1998 after lengthy discussions. It is hence existing Community law. EU rules provide that any Member State may challenge EU legislation, for example regarding the underlying legal base. However, until such time that the European Court of Justice has ruled on the issue (and the timing of that is up to the Court), all Member States are bound by the existing law. In this case the ECJ has not yet set a date for a hearing and so all Member States must implement the Directive by 30th July.
Does the Commission plan any further initiatives in the area of patents and biotechnology?
No. That said, as with all legislation, the Commission will monitor the Directive to ensure that its scope of protection remains relevant to the rapid technological developments that are likely in this field and also that it remains in line with the public's attitude to this area of technology. As required by the Directive, the Commission will make reports to the European Parliament and to the Council on a regular basis on the development and implications of patent law in the field of biotechnology and genetic engineering.

Severe weather is moving through the state today. A strong cold front with strong winds and the potential for tornadoes and flooding is expected tonight. Here with us to talk about it is Robert Latham -- executive director of the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency -- welcome, Mister Latham.
Governor Phil Bryant is one of more than a dozen governors to say they want to stop the federal government from re-settling any refugees from Syria in their states. The governors statements follow news that a Syrian passport was found near the body of one of the perpetrators of Friday's deadly attacks in Paris. Bryant posted a statement on his Facebook page Monday saying he would do "everything humanly possible to stop any plans from the Obama administration to put Syrian refugees in Mississippi." Catholic Social and Community Services in Biloxi said in a statement it resettles an average of twelve refugees a year from different countries. It says it's in favor of a "thorough vetting process" but notes that helping refugees is part of the Church's mission. Resettlement director Magda Leleaux says they have not heard of any plans to resettle refugees from Syria in Mississippi. She says, she's sympathetic that people may have security concerns, but also called for understanding about the refugees' plight. Leleaux spoke with MPB's Evelina Burnett.
Childhood obesity rates in Mississippi are slowly declining. That's according to a report by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which showed an eleven point six percent drop in the number of overweight and obese Mississippi children in grades K through five over an eight-year period. Jessica Donze Black is the director of the Kid's Safe and Healthful Foods Project -- a division of Pew Charitable Trusts -- which looks at research and policy aimed at improving school nutrition. She told MPB's Paul Boger that offering healthier foods in school cafeterias has been a big step forward for the state.

Day 14 - 31 Days of Halloween
My day 14 project is fairly simple. I think there is no room for my mojo because my boogers are taking up all the real estate. LOL. Oh well, what can you do? So, I used a chip-board tile from Tattered angels that was already embossed with some cool images. The fence and the birds were already apart of the tile. I used Stormy Night distress stain on over the entire image and then painted some black ink onto the birds and fence so they would stand out. I then stamped my images from Smeared Ink's Quoth the Raven set (yes, again!) and then added some glitter and ribbon. Voila!
Thanks for stopping by and have fun hop-hop-hopping!

(Dress: When Decades Collide, Sunglasses: Vintage Chanel, Bracelet: Thrifted, Boots: Thrifted, Ring: Thrifted)
My sister and I are so proud of this week's collection. We love every single piece so much right down to the buttons. After putting on each dress during the photo shoot, we constantly said, "So cute! I want to keep it!" But I am so proud of us because we somehow always resist the urge. We only buy vintage that we would wear. We want our store to reflect our own personal style.
This vintage ivory floral grunge dress is to die for and is in the store NOW. We are loving light colors for the summer. And we can't get enough of florals. These pretty petals are so feminine but can be toughened up with black accents such as thigh highs and lace up boots. And for our Australian ladies who are entering those cold months, black tights are just perfect!
We are jumping up in excitement over this week's collection and this is how goofy we look :-)

Pet Health Records
You shop online. You bank online. Now you can manage your pet's health online.
An online Pet Health Record is the easy way to keep track of your animal's well-being. It gives you all the information you need, whenever you need it. The Activ4Pets platform provides owners 24/7 worldwide access to their pet's health history including medications, vaccinations, surgery reports, x-rays, test results and more.
Pet Health Records are accessible from any device with an internet connection and via our iPhone or Android apps. The easy point of access means there's no need to fork out for expensive duplicate tests anymore, and potentially lifesaving health data is never more than a click away.
What's more, you can share this information with friends, family, boarders and veterinarians, making travel with or without your four-legged friend easier than ever.
Benefits of the Pet Health Record (PHR):
- Sends you an alert when your pet's vaccinations are due
- Records all test results and outcomes from prior vet visits
- Stores previous X-Ray and MRI films for easy access
- All clinical data is collected by the Activ4Pets team
- Easy, convenient access with the ability to edit information
Each Activ4Pets membership comes with Medical Record Assistance. You sign a release form, we contact your vet (or vets) and retrieve your pet's entire health history, creating a unique profile available from our platform. For added assurance, all information is protected by military-level security.
To complete our comprehensive pet health package, Activ4Pets also gives members access to online veterinarian services including e-Consultations and Second Medical Opinions.


text: Share: Comments Print April 29, 2014 at 10:13 AM Family of Ex-Puyallup man killed by L.A. deputies files $25M claim Posted by Sara Jean Green The family of a man originally from Puyallup who was mistakenly shot and killed by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies announced this morning they have filed a $25 million claim against the department. The family of John Winkler announced the filing of the claim during a news conference this morning. A claim can be a precursor to a lawsuit if it is rejected. Winkler, 30, a West Hollywood resident, was held captive at knifepoint with two other men inside the suspect's apartment about 9:30 p.m. April 7 , according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. Winkler and one of the men were visiting a friend, who was a roommate of the suspect, identified by the department as Alexander McDonald. McDonald began stabbing the men as deputies arrived. Responding deputies were directed to an apartment where the suspect with the knife was said to be and told there were only two men in the apartment. Witnesses described the suspect as a white male with a thin build and wearing a black shirt. Deputies announced themselves at the front door but heard no response. As they continued to contact the people inside, "the apartment door suddenly opened and a male victim came rushing out," according to a news release. "He was covered in blood and bleeding profusely from the neck." Winkler ran out of the door and lunged at the back of the other victim as they both ran directly at the deputies. Three deputies shot at Winkler, and he fell to the ground. The other man was also struck and fell. Winkler was pronounced dead at a hospital. McDonald was arrested. The shooting "was a preventable act that robbed a young man of his dreams," attorney Sim Osborn said during this morning's news conference. He said Winkler was a hero who was trying to get his injured friend out of the apartment when sheriff's deputies "shot him dead." Winkler's mother, Lisa Ostergren of Gig Harbor, said she wants the truth of what happened that night to come out in order to spare another family the "roller coaster of emotions" she's experienced since her son was gunned down. "We're all in shock and disbelief. … Words can't express how devastated we really are," Ostergren said. Winkler had moved to California to pursue a career in TV production six months ago and was a production assistant on the show "Tosh.0." He attended the Seattle Film Institute, where he was a well-liked, good student, communications director Chris Blanchett said. In the days after the shooting, Winkler's family issued a statement through the Seattle law firm of Osborn Machler, but this morning marked the first time his family has spoken at length about the incident.

Last weekend, my husband and I decided to venture just 30 minutes from Denver to hike around Golden. We didn't actually run, so this is a bit of a variation on my Run-Eat-Drink series. However, after hiking about 7 miles, I definitely felt like I had gotten a solid workout. I will be back here

Any of you guys ever watch Star Trek? Well, if you did, you will remember Bones' Tricorder. Basically, it was a device that scanned a patient's body and instantly gave the good doctor a summary as to what was wrong with the patient. No messy blood draws or waiting days for lab results on television! I have little doubt that advanced technology will one day make such things possible, but in the meantime a huge number of day-to-day ailments, such as low libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, achiness, depression, etc. require the "throw-it-against-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks-approach."
Guys come to the Peak Testosterone Forum for example and want some way to make themselves feel better. In fact, let me list you the symptoms that I had about 8 years ago and tell me if some of these do not look familiar to many of you:
I see some combination of these symptoms almost every day on the Forum. It happens over and over and over and most of it is from the damage of Western Diet and lifestyle. Now, in my case, I found that a low fat diet helped with about half of my symptoms. Then, when I went on cypionate and restored my testosterone to more youthful levels, the other half of my symptoms went away. These two have basically solved the solid majority of the issues that I was experiencing. However, this is not necessarily true for all men. Some men with a lot of beta cell damage may not be able to eat a low fat diet. And some men may not need HRT and may instead have troubles with other hormones such as those of the thyroid or adrenals. Just keep in mind that most guys have 2 or 3 issues that they need to fix to feel good again. And that is what the Peak Testosterone Progam is all about - trying to get a man to look at the most common reasons for the seemingly untreatable quality-of-life destroyers that plaque us modern, urban dwellers.
The bottom line is that many things can cause or exacerbate the above symptoms and a man usually owes it to himself to go through each one of these, with a good physician's help generally of course, and troubleshoot his underlying issues. You generally will have to be the prime mover, because our health care system is just so resource-taxed at this point. If I had not pushed my physician, I would never have received treatment for my low testosterone. And finding a Low Fat Diet was something I did on my own along with exercising. My phyisician had probably about 50 pounds of extra visceral fat at the time, so he was not going to help me with diet and nutrition!
Again, scan through each one of these one-by-one and see which may apply. If your insurance does not cover any pertinent tests, just realize that you can usually get them yourself - except in a few Gestapo-like states - for a very reasonable price. See my page on Inexpensive Labs for more information.

Food hygiene - what does 'safe' mean?9th of July 2014
Wipers, chemicals, cloths and brushes – all have to be 'food safe' before they can be used in food preparation areas. But how far do they need to differ from traditional products? Ann

Tank water-fed brush from Brosserie Thomas8th of July 2014
New from Brosserie Thomas is a water-fed brush with waterflow handle, called Tank. Water flows from the base of the fibres and across the entire brush, then dirt is flushed from the brush fibres.
This method, the company says, is more water-efficient plus the rubber around the edge of the brush avoids scratching.

I have decided to post a new post once a week so now you know when to go and check it out-every Monday. With that I have more time to think what should I do for my next post and produce new material + I can comment and search for other great post.
For todays post I have decided to be (again) a little more spohisticated-at least I think so because I wear heels. My sister and I went to Ljubljana -capital city of Slovenia- and we have found a beautiful spot to take pictures. The only problem was that the weather wasn't quite pleasing as it was cloudy. Yet we managed to take some pictures and I was very pleased with how they have turned out.
Hope you like it and you can leave your opinion/suggestions in the comment box.

Barely a month after Department of Public Works & Highays Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane, Jr. endorsed to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo the release of an additional P200 million for its completion, work has resumed on the long delayed Cagayan de Oro International Trade and Convention Center. Latest photos of the site showed the roof trusses have been completed with quite a handful of workers seen.
The project which is located in Taguanao, Indahag, Cagayan de Oro City is the first ever world class Trade and Convention Center being constructed in Mindanao. It was implemented utilizing the Design-Construct Scheme and is ideal for national, international and trade exhibits, as well as seminars and conventions.
Boasting of a 7,700 seating capacity, the Convention Center has several amenities like a multi-purpose hall that could accommodate 1,000 guests, a convertible indoor playing court, an exhibit area for 1,500 viewing guests with demountable partition for flexibility of expansion, 12 function rooms for 1,000 guests, 4 clubrooms with lockers and showers, cafeteria with approximately 100 seating capacity, and an administrative office, storage room and other support facilities.

Work days end at 5:00 here and in England they have not set their clocks ahead yet, which means the light is fading by the time I go out for my late afternoon garden wander. So I apologize for the low light and somewhat blurry photos. Today was a fantastic day. I spent most of the last two days planting out hundreds of Lychnis coronia. A common plant you might say, but Fergus Garrett has had a vision of a magenta cloud, a haze of those brightly lit flowers, suspended throughout the garden! This has been an amazing project to work on for a variety of reasons: 1. This plant is a self seeder and is already scattered about and coming up in many of the beds, we just added many many more. 2. The goal is to plant this plant to look like it has self-sown, which means lots of very careful looking, from all angles, to make sure it looks just random enough. I already was aware that self seeded plants scattered about were one of the many hallmarks of the Great Dixter and Chrisopher Lloyd style, but now I see what goes into achieving this effect. Many hours were put in to make the garden look as though it just planted itself! I love it! After lunch there was a seed meeting and Fergus handed out seeding projects to everyone. I have a few packets and in the next few days I will be inducted on seeding the Great Dixter way. In the late afternoon I moved over to the Long Borders and patiently bent myself around the emerging bulb foliage to carefully pick and weed out all the undesirables. The weather has been lovely, hazy sunny and warm, and it feels wonderful to be back in the dirt again. All the students, volunteers, and employees are extremely knowledgeable and generous.

I'm ok with altering plans because of the weather, in fact, dealing with the variables of mountain weather is part of the appeal. But gear failure? It just shouldn't happen. And not to XA Pros! As it turns out the bond that failed between the upper and midsole on the heel of my left shoe,(on the first day), didn't extend all the way through and held together for the duration of our altered five day adventure. Let me be clear. In the last seven years I have owned more than a dozen pairs of Salomon XA Pros, all have performed perfectly, I'll be getting another pair. The original plan was to hike up the Travers Valley crossing Travers Saddle into the Sabine, then head south over Moss Pass and float out to Lake Rotoroa on the Durville River. On the second day, after crossing Travers Saddle, my shoe had gotten slightly worse, so we decided not to risk heading further into the mountains where a total shoe failure would make things a little too interesting. So we headed down the Sabine Valley floating some sections and hiking some down to Sabine Hut. Then we turned to the east, crossing the Travers Range via Mt Cedric and Hukere Stream back into the Travers Valley where we floated out to Lake Rotoiti before hiking back to St Arnaud.
When asked for advice on where to go hiking in New Zealand's South Island I typically recommend one of my favourite areas in the south. Of course Fiordland, Mt Aspiring, Mt Cook and Arthurs Pass national parks, and lots of other areas in between, all feature deep wilderness, spectacular scenery and a lifetimes worth of adventures. Although this end of the southern alps isn't quite as high and dramatic as further south, I found the peaks, valleys, lakes and ridges every bit as enticing.
Gear musings :
Alpacka Packrafts - These things are a revelation. The rivers were high on this trip, some sections class III and IV and only for the more experienced. We didn't have spraydecks, PFDs or helmets which was a mistake.
Packrafting Packs - I use light frameless packs for pure hiking trips, these work very well with loads up to 10 kg. A six day trip with a packraft and paddle means a load up around 15kg which requires a more supportive pack. I carried a Black Diamond Quantum 65, comfortable with heavy loads and big enough to swallow a packraft, four piece paddle, gear and a weeks worth of food.
MLD Spirit Quilt 30 - Sleeping bags are dead to me ( at least for temps above freezing). Quilts are so much more comfortable than a bag.
The Stickpic - Get one. Film stuff.
Footwear - NZ hiking generally means wading streams. The fastest draining, quickest drying shoes are highly recommended. Use waterproof socks for packrafting and snow walking if it is cold. I think the drainage could be improved on XA Pros and Slab Wings. The stiff midsole on the XA Pro makes it a great choice for the heavier loads required for packrafting trips.
Stoves - I used a Caldera Cone on this trip which worked perfectly but the cone is on the way out. I got to check out a french guy's Jetboil Sol Ti, the future of gas stoves I'd say.
The gear list is here.
