Steelers outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley was something of a disappointment last season, recording just four sacks while dealing with groin, ankle and hamstring injuries. Now Woodley's coaches are hoping a renewed emphasis on staying in shape in the offseason will prevent him from struggling through more nagging injuries this season.
Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that the Steelers think Woodley needs to approach his offseason workouts with more diligence to avoid the kinds of injuries that have plagued him the past two seasons.
Woodley signed a six-year, $61.5 million deal just before the start of the 2011 season, and he's already made $27 million on the first two years of that contract. At the time Woodley signed that contract, he was coming off his third consecutive double-digit sack season, and he had only missed one game in the last three years.
But in the last two years Woodley's sack totals have declined to nine in 2011 and four in 2012, and he has missed nine games in the last two years.

Mentally disabled persons who have guardians appointed to them now are free to seek divorces in the state of Illinois. The Chicago Tribune is reporting that a long-standing ban on guardians filing for divorce on behalf of their mentally disabled wards under Illinois law has been overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court in a groundbreaking Cook County court case.
In its decision, the Illinois Supreme Court reasoned that a comprehensive ban on all mentally disabled persons who are subject to guardianships from filing for divorce could leave vulnerable people trapped in marriages in which they are abused or exploited. Now, guardians are free to file for divorce on behalf of their wards if it would be in their best interest to do so. Courts will consider each case on an individual basis and decide whether there is clear and convincing evidence that the divorce would be in the disabled person's best interests. Perhaps most importantly, this new standard will permit those mentally disabled persons who are able to do so to voice their own opinions on the issue, where they were unable to do so before.
The Cook County case that was the basis for this appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court involves a Cook County couple, the Karbins. The wife, Marcia Karbin, suffered brain damage in a 1997 car accident, which led to her daughter being appointed guardian for her. After financial disputes with her husband, Jan Karbin, Marcia's daughter and guardian filed for divorce on behalf of her mother, but both the original divorce court and an appeals court ruled that she was unable to do so.
This recent Illinois Supreme Court ruling changes Illinois law substantially, in that many mentally disabled persons now may be able to initiate divorce proceedings through their guardians. This is particularly beneficial for those wards who are able to articulate their wishes at least part of the time, such as people with Alzheimer's Disease or those with mental illnesses whose effects are not always present.
If you are a guardian contemplating filing for a divorce on behalf of your mentally disabled ward, or if you are in any situation where divorce may be a possibility, you should immediately contact an experienced DuPage County divorce attorney for assistance. The help of a skilled divorce lawyer can be invaluable in getting the relief that you deserve from your divorce proceedings, and ensuring that your rights are protected throughout the proceedings.

A Perceptive Debut
Goodnight Architecture, Gretchen Mattox. New Issues Press, 2002. 73 pp., $14.
The poems in Gretchen Mattoxs debut collection are thoroughly informed by the final line of the first poem: Here, console yourself, look back and tell. Like Joan Didions famous remark that we tell ourselves stories in order to live, Gretchen Mattox tells herself stories in order to live with what has happened. Clearly influenced by the confessional poetry of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton, Mattox rests on the wobbly margin between autobiography and myth, locating her poems in the wilderness of the self-remembered and self-invented. O mythical father / I have been on my own too long, she writes, testifying to the almost-spiritual loneliness of this book. Departed fathers, departed mothers, departed husbands and boyfriends are all recurring figures here when Mattox writes, Whatever I touch turns to grief, she seems to comment not only on her life, but on her work. The book is punctuated by a series of elegies, whose elegant language and lyrical voice transform the burdens of loss into the beauty of art.
One of Mattoxs most acute poetic gifts lies in her skill for figurative language: rotating dryers are compared to mandalas, a litter of opened telephone books on the freeway to a flock of birds, twilight is as sensual as an exposed thigh. Mattox has learned from Plath not only the gift of transforming the personal into the poetic, but also the ability to render the ordinary into the ecstatic: I have stood in the doorway to some other world made luminous by grief / and have been brought to this moment. What further distinguishes these moments of illumination is the tremendous attention to the detail of the visual world: from a cats tail moving like a fin over a wall to the make-up smudged on a coat collar, everything is seen and noted.
Though the poems participate in the therapeutic journey from loss to understanding, the understandings are often mysterious: happiness is a parable lettered in ropes and shadows. That happiness is hard to come by, and perhaps unreadable, seems to be a foregone conclusion of the collection. The books final poem, Revelatory Borders, expresses the truth that self-exploration so often culminates in: here love remains not who you have but what you are // lesson: other from that understanding.

Synthetic suede plus nylon makes up most of the upper, while a combination of pomegranate and turquoise are added on the rest of the shoe. Cop this classic retro version of the runner over at retailers like Hanon.

Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.–Arthur Ashe
Where Chaos Reigns
Success is a journey, not a destination. The doing is often more important than the outcome.–Arthur Ashe
Those who have followed me weekly reads know that for the last several weeks I have focused more on non-fiction than my usual fare. This non-fiction emphasis has focused on journals or memoirs of long-distance hikers. Individuals who have committed months of their life to complete a thru-hike. These thru-hikes found the person day-in and day-out placing one foot in front of the other to complete a course several hundred and even thousands of miles long whether it is labeled the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, Continental Divide Trail, or many others.
As I read each entry, these hikers presented their stories from their own unique perspective and experience. This provided individualized views into the shared journeys, yet one common theme began to materialize. A feeling of loss. As the end neared, the hikers entered what may likened to a state of depression or grief. Each day for months, these men and women had awoke, packed up camp, and set out on the trail. Monotonous task seven days a week for months on end broken on by the changing scenery through which they trekked.
Each soul faced with the question, "What now?" And each soul finding an inability to provide an adequate answer. In the end, some returned to their prior life. They live each day as their former self, trying to find contentment in knowing what they have accomplished and how it has changed them forever. Others could not be satisfied. They set out on their next adventure with many completing the Triple Crown of the AT, PCT, and CDT. Still others are not even satisfied with that accomplishment and take their journeys to other places in the world or even set out to hike the same long distance trails a second or even third time.
So, why have these thoughts come to the forefront of my mind now? I have come to the end of a path of my own. My journey to complete not only my bachelors degree but also my masters has ended. The last two years has found me consumed with completing the tasks necessary for assignments due that week. Week-in and week-out with only five one-week breaks to break that monotony. Even during those breaks, I was looking ahead to the next courses to get a jump start on the assignments.
Now, the goal I set for myself has been reached. No horns were blown, no confetti sprayed, no fireworks exploded. I awoke the next day trying to plan for the assignments due that week. The obvious problem being that there were no assignments due that week. Graduate school was over. I had no more obligations to complete assignments working toward my graduation.
The next chapter had to be turned. What does this graduation mean? Obviously, I sought (and continue to seek) a job in my new field. Now it is a waiting game. Unfortunately, while I wait, I continue to be bombarded with the fact that this goal has been reached.
I understand there may be those that do not necessarily understand the concept I am describing here. Those long distance hikers, myself, and others like us share another important attribute. We are goal driven. Several weeks ago, I had a discussion on the effects of deadlines and how there are those who live for the pressure of that deadline. That pressure seems to bring out their best work as they become more focused on meeting that end-point, that goal.
This is the same concept. The goal we have been working toward, have invested so much of our life to has been reached. It has disappeared. It becomes difficult to enjoy any celebration of completion because we are lost in finding the next goal. To add to the complexity, we may establish a long term goal but recognize that it is a future goal. Thus we must find a short term objective to help us work toward that long term plan.
The more I thought about this concept and this common issue, the more I questioned how it affected others. I was immediately drawn to writing. Is this a problem within the writing community? When you complete a work whether it be a poem, short story, novella, novel, whatever, do you experience feelings of loss or grief because you have reached the end?
I know from the stories I have written thus far, I become very close with each of my characters. I know them inside and out. They become family. At times, I look forward to the next opportunity to sit at the desk with them and discuss their lives. When I reach that final page, it becomes almost like saying good-bye to a dear friend. Do others experience these same feeling?
I read of some thru-hikers who would slow their pace intentionally as they neared the end of the trail. More often than not they were conscious of their actions and their intent. They were trying to delay the end. Have any of the writers out their delayed completion of a work because you did not want to say good-bye to the characters?
What are your thoughts, your confessions? Comment below, on social media, or even drop me an email. I truly am curious to know what the writers at large think about this. And remember to keep your head above the level of the Chaos.

Orascom to upgrade Pakistan's Mobilink cellular network
November 11, 2012
The upgrade would also enable Mobilink to offer 3G services once such licences are issued in Pakistan, said Orascom Telecom.—File Photo

Follow Friday--Blog Purpose! :D
Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature & Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers -- but you have to know -- the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.
The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee's View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it'll allow us to show off more new blogs!
How does this work? First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools -- keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them "hi" in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you!
Q: What do you hope to accomplish with your blog? Is it to one day become an author yourself, just for fun, maybe get some online attention, or maybe something very different?
A: I actually already am an author. If you shift your eyes to the left, you'll see the cover of my debut novel, a futuristic dystopian fantasy, that will be out at the end of the year. I started a blog four months ago so I could establish an online presence to help me connect with my readers and help spread the word about my book. I hope that my blog will always be an archive of information about writing (my passion) and reading (close second) and that it will be a way for me to connect with my readers and for them to feel like they can connect with me.

Claim our bodies, claim our right,
Take a stand, take back the night!
Across the globe, the month of April is a time for communities to mobilize Take Back the Night rallies, Clothesline Project demonstrations, anti-violence marches, speak-outs and fundraisers. Their slogans reflect a continued call for a safer world during Sexual Assault Awareness Month.
However, despite decades of research, activism, and policy efforts, there is little evidence to suggest that rates of sexual assault are decreasing. In particular, campus sexual violence has emerged as a threat to the health and well-being of college-aged women, a trend that affects all of us at a societal level.
As an anthropologist, my goal in examining cultural practices is to make the strange familiar- and the familiar strange. And campus sexual violence is a phenomenon that has become uncomfortably familiar.
Working from the central tenets of anthropology- understanding cultural systems holistically with attention to both cultural relativism and human rights- we can contribute to creating a safer world by examining campus sexual violence in a historical, culturally-embedded context. Placing the current campus sexual violence crisis in a historical context allows us to disrupt this familiarity and consider new solutions to decrease campus sexual violence rates and increase care for those affected by violence.
For decades, providing support services for victims of campus sexual violence relied upon a partnership between campus entities and community-based, often non-profit, organizations that provide assistance to victims of sexual violence and domestic violence. With the 1994 Violence Against Women Act and subsequent reauthorizations, Congress allocated funds to support anti-violence efforts in the United States, including funds to reduce crimes against women on campus. Supporting these measures, the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act of 1990 requires schools to disclose crime statistics and information related to campus safety and security in an Annual Security Report.
In the meantime, advocates and activists were fighting for the right to bring perpetrators before on-campus disciplinary boards when the criminal justice system repeatedly failed victims. However, those campus processes have yielded uneven results, and provided opportunities for institutions to protect perpetrators and their own liability rather than support victims. Hearing the calls for reform, new guidance from the Department of Education in 2011 clearly situated campus sexual violence as a form of sexual harassment under Title IX, as sexual violence may result in the unequal distribution of educational resources based on gender.
However, despite the implementation of these policies, the story has not changed: rates of violence remain constant, women and men are asked to speak about their sexual experiences and victimizations in the context of consent, victims report a system of advocacy that fails to recognize their educational rights, and the role of high-risk alcohol consumption serves as a convenient symbol of the chaotic rite of passage that defines campus life.
I have held the hands of individuals while they cried and shared with me that "something happened." As a professor, anthropological researcher, and victim's advocate, I have heard firsthand the stories and experiences of those affected by campus sexual violence. We are confronted with the reality of a persistent social problem that has radiating effects on the individuals involved in campus sexual violence, their families, campus communities, and beyond. People are crying, and in some cases, screaming for help.
What, then, is the role for anthropology?
Through anthropological research, we can shift the conversation to one where the history of campus sexual violence advocacy and activism is honored and the scope of the problem is recognized. To do this, we must ethnographically capture the everyday challenges of responding to and preventing campus sexual violence within higher education institutions in the context of decades of action. Federal policies have been strengthened, campus structures handling sexual violence have emerged, the media is taking campus sexual violence seriously- yet, the violence persists.
In our research and daily practice, anthropologists must acknowledge that campus sexual violence is a persistent, ongoing problem that has witnessed decades of activism, advocacy, and legislation. As a community of scholars, advocates, and activists, we have a role in breaking cycles of violence and calling for new questions to be asked, for different voices to be heard, for histories of victimization to stop repeating, and to ultimately relieve suffering caused by violence.

I am always loosing my keys and my phone. I had even hired an assistant manager one time and explained to him on his first day at work was to make sure that I always had my phone and keys before leaving the office. He laughed, until five minutes later when I couldn't find my phone.
My friends know I am a lost cause. They often joke about getting me one of those remotes that you can attach an alarm on to your personal effects. That way you can just let your lost items send off a distress signal to help you locate them.
I think that is why I like the 3 Alarm products for retail anti theft devices. The 3 Alarm will emit an audible alarm for ten minutes after a stolen product has passed through the store's doorway.
It gives you time to find your item. If you have a shoplifter stealing an item, they will try to run out the doors. Once the 3 Alarm activates, and they realize it won't stop; the shoplifter will realistically drop the item.
Even if they take the item with while they are running, ten minutes is ample time to find out where the item was discarded. You may not always be able to prevent shoplifting from happening, but you will always have a shot at recovering the merchandise with a 3 Alarm retail anti theft device.
Visit the Loss Prevention Store for retail anti theft devices in conjunction with your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system that can help you prevent shoplifting in your business.
For more information on how you can use retail anti theft devices and your Electronic Article Surveillance or EAS system to prevent shoplifting contact us or call 1.866.914.2567

Politics is generally a topic of debate which stirs up strong emotions. Key to striking a chord with one's audience is linked to exactly that: connecting with their emotions. This is something that all leaders need to master, and which political leaders especially have a real knack for.
Although we may not agree with what all political parties and their leaders stand for or the manner in which they show up, we can learn something from all of them.
Displaying passion: Consider American president Donald Trump, who has succeeded by speaking directly to the heart of what his voting public wanted to hear. He listens to the needs of his followers and acts on those, speaking with great passion. Likewise, business leaders need to connect to the needs of their team members and speak with passion to gain their buy-in and support.
Remaining steadfast: British Prime Minister Theresa May remains steadfast in her decision regarding Brexit, showing true belief in what she is doing. She has shown that while you need to adapt when appropriate, it is important to not "sway in the wind". She believes that she is there to protect the greater good of the country and is willing to stand up for it, giving her people the opportunity to make themselves heard. Strength like hers is of utmost importance for business leaders – you cannot drive one message today and something completely different tomorrow.
Creating an identity: The Economic Freedom Fighters' Julius Malema identified a gap in the market and solidified the party in that market. He manages to grab the spotlight wherever he goes, using his presence to carry his messages and largely speaking his followers' language – literally and figuratively. Much like Malema does, it is important for business leaders to talk about what may be wrong in business, deal with it head-on and not hide it. Be courageous and deal with issues that affect your stakeholders. Malema has also created a community and identity for his followers (think of the red overalls and berets). Imagine the possibilities if business leaders created such a sense of belonging with their team members, thereby gaining true brand ambassadors.
Establishing purpose: Take a minority party such as Freedom Front Plus that looks after a "niched" community trying to fight for a piece of the pie. They have to punch above their weight when it comes to representing their electorate on the national stage. This teaches the importance of sticking to what you believe in – your purpose. They are fighting not to lose their voice and to sustain their existence. Business leaders also need to be tenacious in their beliefs in order to establish themselves and keep afloat.
Fostering alignment: Madiba taught the nation and the world so much. He not only had the capacity for introspection and the ability to adapt, he also established alignment through clarity and honesty. Business leaders need to be clear on their purpose so that team members know what is expected from them. Using Aristotle's logos (logic), ethos (speaking with enthusiasm and passion) and pathos (enrolling the listener with what is relevant to them or in it for them) when communicating improves connection with your audience. By aligning as a team, actions are made intentional and purposeful. Honesty in all dealings will ensure you deliver to your stakeholders with consistency.
A key thing for all leaders – business or political – to understand, is that leaders lead all the time – whether doing so well or poorly! Others take their lead from you, so make sure that you are leading with purpose and integrity.

Open Farm Week provides activities for the whole family
If you're looking for a food source that supports local farmers, offers value prices, and delivers all your produce in one place, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is perfect for you.During Open Farm Week, from August 3rd-9th, you will have the chance to explore outside the CSA box with visits to the farms that grow your fresh goodies.
CSAs are a great way to form a direct connection to your farmers. When you join a CSA, you are purchasing a season's share of the farm's products, and as a subscription customer you get the chance to know the people who grow your food. CSAs are most popular in the summer, but you can also buy a share from many farms in the fall, winter and spring. CSA members typically pick up their share at the farm each week, but some farms offer delivery or alternative pick-up sites. Shares typically contain a box of the fresh produce that's in season, but can also include goods such as meats, eggs, and prepared food items.
During Open Farm Week, CSAs across the state will host tours and activities, providing a great opportunity to learn more about a nearby CSA or farm. You can head over to The Barn Yard Farm for scavenger hunts and snacks, or visit Berry Creek Farm for craft activities and wood fired pizza from the NOFA-VT pizza oven.
Find a CSA program today and find CSA farms participating in Open Farm Week by visiting this google map.

Remodel Stories: Colorful Personality Reflected in a Colorful Kitchen
"She has a colorful, enthusiastic and extravagant personality and that came through in her beautiful kitchen that was designed to welcome large gatherings of family and friends to their lakeside home," explained Nanci Marsman, kitchen designer for Standale Interiors in Grand Rapids, MI. "This couple was an absolute joy and dream to work with because they came to me with so many wonderful ideas. They were open minded and they let the entire design process evolve in a beautiful way."
During their first appointment with Nanci, the homeowners shared a variety of photos and magazine pages with Nanci to provide an idea as to what they liked and disliked. "Initially, we had about fifteen great ideas but we needed to sort through and develop the best of the best. If you have too many focal points, there is no focal point. There are too many design features which can become too busy and too overwhelming."
With a uniquely colorful collection of Italian pottery, a china hutch was one element the homeowner wanted to feature in her new kitchen. Taking a cue from the colors of the pottery, a furniture hutch was designed with an intense emerald green, custom-painted back. An "X" mullion pattern repeats a detail from the wine storage cabinet as well as the "X" detail in the back of the dining room chairs.
The hood was another area where Nanci worked closely with Dura Supreme cabinet makers to design a unique detail to grab attention in the soaring mantel hood that reaches the 10' ceilings. A curved mullion with a subtle "x" detail ties into the rest of the kitchen but introduces an eye-catching curve. "I love creating a detail that catches the eye and breaks the rules a little bit," said Nanci. "The pattern above the hood was a critical detail for this customer and by changing the design a little, it creates a unique focal point."
With such a colorful personality and a zest for entertaining, the island was another key feature for this kitchen. "Having a large island where everyone could gather together in the kitchen was important." A custom butter-yellow paint was selected to create a soft touch of color.
Nanci explained, "What you don't see in these beautiful kitchen photos, is all the hard-working luxury accessories behind all the doors and drawers. This kitchen is truly a functional space with slide-out cutlery organizers and spice racks and roll-out shelves."
The end result? A homeowner that is "in love" with her new kitchen!

If you were a documentary filmmaker wanting to film the greatest gatherings of great whales, where would you go? The same question might cross the mind of a scientist, a whale enthusiast planning a whale watching tour or a commercial wildlife tour operator planning a product expansion. In this article, I hope to provide some answers. What surprised me is that although much has been written about whales, very little has been written to pinpoint which species and where the greatest great whale gatherings take place. What is the equivalent in the oceans, of the annually recurring Elephant Gathering in Minneriya in Sri Lanka?
To share my conclusions up-front, it seems that of any great whale, the greatest recurring gathering is that of the Grey Whales nursing young in Laguna Ojo de Liebre in Mexico. Other whales which gather in large numbers, albeit unpredictably and often with little or no public access to ordinary tourists, include Antarctic Minke Whales in Eastern Antarctica. These aggregations are often driven by unpredictable super-blooms of krill. Only one toothed whale, the Sperm Whale makes it into the list of great whales. For the Sperm Whale, the greatest gatherings take place off Sri Lanka, but they are highly unpredictable unlike the gatherings of the Grey Whales. However, when the Sperm Whale super-pods are seen, they may make a stronger visual impression as large numbers move together. With the Grey Whales, they are spread out in a large lagoon and only a few at a time may be in the field of view.
Great whales for which there have been records of large gatherings include the Sperm Whale, Antarctic Minke Whale, Grey Whale, Humpback Whale and the Bowhead Whale. Although Blue Whales are not known in the literature for large aggregations, I mention the Blue Whales off Sri Lanka. Sperm Whales are the most social of the great whales. It seems that the famous Elephant Gathering in Sri Lanka is mirrored in the sea by a Sperm Whale Gathering where in a relatively concentrated area over 250 Sperm Whales may be seen. (More details on the Elephant Gathering are in the article 'Branding Wildlife Brands: The Elephant Gathering' published in the Daily FT (Sri Lanka) on 27th September 2012). However, the Sperm Whale Gathering lacks the same predictability of time and location as the Elephant Gathering and I would caution people against travelling to Sri Lanka in the expectation that their visits will coincide with one of these great gatherings. But Sri Lanka seems to offer one of the best chances to view or film a visually spectacular great gathering of great whales and it is special that a great whale gathering is within reach of the public, albeit subject to chance.
I focus on the 'great whales' as large gatherings by them attract public interest although large gatherings by the smaller species of dolphins are no less spectacular. The great whales were subject to ferocious hunting in the 19th and 20th centuries. We very nearly drove these sentient beings to extinction. The term 'great whale' encompasses the world's 13 largest whales (or more, depending on taxonomic splits) including the Blue, Fin, Sei, Common and Antarctic Minke, Humpback, Grey, Bryde's, and the 3 species of Right Whales (the North Atlantic, North Pacific and Southern), Bowhead and the Sperm Whale. The whales in scientific taxonomy belong to two groups, the baleen whales and the toothed whales. The former have sheets of baleen or whalebone suspended from the upper jaw, which they use to filter feed. Of the great whales, all but the Sperm Whale are baleen whales. In this article published in four parts, I will discuss some of the papers and observations, which relate to large aggregations of great whales.
My discussion on the baleen whales is relatively brief, as it seems that the Grey Whale is a clear winner and the other large aggregations of the other baleen whales have limitations with access, unpredictability or being too spread out to offer a visual spectacle of a mass of animals. I dwell at length on the Sperm Whale, long famed for large aggregations, but it seems not as much as the popular literature would have us believe. For ease of reference, I have broken this multi-part article into a section on baleen whales where I discuss a few species and a second section on toothed whales where I discuss just one species, the Sperm Whale.
Baleen Whales of the Northern Hemisphere
Grey Whales
The largest great whale gathering I know of based on published data, since W.D. Boyer's observation (more on this later in the second section on Sperm Whales) is from a paper by Steven Swart and others which refers to counts in the Laguna San Ignacio and in the Ojo de Liebre. In the Laguna San Ingacio they used a standard line transect method by travelling in a 7m outboard powered boat at a speed of 11km/hr. This is faster than the typical speed of the whales, which reduces the likelihood of the same whale being counted twice. The transect takes approximately three hours. In their paper titled 'Numbers of Gray Whale (Estrichtus robustus) utilizing Laguna San Ignacio and Laguna Ojo de Liebre, Baja California Sur, Mexico during the winter breeding seasons:2007-2003' they provide counts of adults and female-calf pairs combined, from 107 boat surveys between 2007 and 2013. The highest count was 320 on 26th February 2011, which comprised of 261 single adults and 59 mother-calf pairs. Thus if the calves were added as well the total count would have been 379. The lagoon is over 8km wide in places with the boat having visibility to 2.5km on either side and therefore these boat-based surveys are able to count the total number of whales in the lagoon with a reasonable chance of success.
But very importantly in the context of my article, their paper also includes the results of 12 surveys between January and April 2013 in the Laguna Ojo de Liebre, two of the three primary Grey Whale calving and breeding lagoons for the Grey Whales in the Eastern Pacific. The lagoon is 48km long and 9km wide. On 25th February 2013, they counted 137 single adults and 592 mother-calf pairs giving a count of 720. This would be 1,321 whales if calves were counted as an individual whale. They also include a table of data (provided by the Subsecretaria de Gestion Para La Proteccion Ambiental, Direccion General de Vida Silvestre, of Mexico) which summarises the highest counts between 2007 and 2013. In all of these years, the highest count of single adults and mother-calf pairs (treated as a single unit) were in excess of 500. The highest was on 5th March 2012 and comprised of 1,523 single adults and 1,198 mother- calf-pairs to give a count of 2,721. If the calves are added, this would be 4,919 individual Grey Whales. Such recurrent, large numbers of whales gathering seasonally is probably be the greatest recurring gathering of great whales in the world.
To the best of my knowledge, these counts exceed anything ever documented on large aggregations of great whales. Both locations are well known to local and international wildlife tour operators who lead tours to these famed nursery sites. Mark Carwardine, who leads tours to Laguna San Ignacio in a series of emails in May 2015 to me noted that '....several hundred is normal during the winter breeding season....'. It would seem to me that for scientists and whale watchers, in search of great whale aggregations, Grey Whales in the lagoons of San Ignacio and Ojo de Liebre may be the top choice in the world, subject to the caveat that the number of whales simultaneously in the field of view may not be as many as when a Sperm Whale super-pod numbering over 40 individuals is encountered. It surprises me that the local and international whale watching companies and local tourism authorities do not brand it as the 'Greatest Gathering of Great Whales'.
Humpback Whales
Humpback Whales are known to gather in feeding grounds and many whale watchers have seen groups in Alaska hunting using the famous bubble netting technique. However, the highest concentration recorded may not be in North America be in what Douglas P. Nowacek and others published in a paper titled 'Super-Aggregations of Krill and Humpback Whales in Wilhelmina Bay, Antarctic Peninsula'. In their paper published in April 2011, they reported on a super-aggregation of krill of the level which had been absent in the scientific literature for over 20 years. On 1st May 2009 they entered Wilhelmina Bay in the Western Antarctic Peninsula and recorded 149 sightings of 306 Humpback Whales in 65 km of line transect surveys with a density of 5.1 whales per square kilometre. They believe this density was the highest point estimate for Humpback Whales reported in the Antarctic. Whale watchers off British Columbia have reported encountering pods of Humpback Whales where individuals are all around them. However, at the time of writing I have not come across any technical papers, which suggest that more than a dozen are found in a pod.
Bowhead Whales
Bowhead Whales have a population that occupies the Eastern Canadian Arctic and West Greenland. There is another population as well between the Chukchi Sea and the Beaufort Sea, which winters in the Bering Sea. Of the population mentioned first, Bowhead Whales are known to gather in large aggregations especially in Isabella Bay and Disko Bay in West Greenland. The Government of Canada's website for the Ninginganiq National Wildlife Area (accessed in June 2015) states '...Up to 100 Bowheads have been recorded at one time in Isabella Bay, making this the single largest known concentration for this species anywhere in Canada'. K.J. Finley in his paper in 1990 titled 'Isabella Bay, Baffin Island: an important historical and present-day concentration area for the endangered Bowhead Whale (Balaena mysitcetus) of the Eastern Canadian Arctic' presented results that showed that 107 unique whales had been photographed between 28th -29th September 1996. The Bureau of Ocean Management published a study on 15th July 2013 titled "Bowhead feeding Ecology Study (BOWFEST) in the Western Beaufort Sea". In their summary of aerial surveys, the highest count was on 18 flight hours logged between 29th August to 18th September 2009. They had 102 sightings of 452 Bowheads. During a five year study, 762 unique whales were identified from photographs.
The second population of Bowheads referred to above occurs seasonally in the area from the Chukchi Sea to the Beaufort Sea. Carin Ashjian and others in a paper titled 'Climate Variability, Oceanography, Bowhead Whale Distribution and Inupiat Subsistence Whaling near Barrow, Alaska' published in 2010 report on aerial surveys conducted in August and September in 2005 and 2006. They reported aggregations of Bowhead Whales of between 50-100 in early September of both years. Sue Moore and others in their paper titled 'Bowhead Whales Along the Chukotka Coast in Autumn' published in 1995 reported single day counts of 76 and 50 Bowheads on 1 October 1992 and 3 October 1993, respectively. S.W. Landino and others in 1994 published a paper titled 'A Large Aggregation of Bowhead Whales (Balaena mysticeus) Feeding near Point Barrow, Alaska in Late October 1992'. On 19th October 1992, they observed 16 groups and 11 singletons, for a total of 104 whales over an area of 277 square kilometres. The largest single group contained at least 30 whales.
Continues the 5th of November...

ADMISSIONS: Life as a Brain Surgeon by Henry Marsh
"Like DO NO HARM, Marsh's previous memoir, ADMISSIONS is 'wandering and ruminative, an overland trek through the doctor's anxieties and private shames,' our critic Jennifer Senior writes. Marsh once again recounts his miscalculations and surgical catastrophes; rails against the constraints of an increasingly depersonalized British health care system; and describes his operating theater in all of its Grand Guignol splendor." — New York Times Book Review (10 New Books We Recommend This Week, 10/12/17)
WAITING FOR THE PUNCH: Words to Live by from the WTF Podcast by Marc Maron, foreword by John Oliver
From the beloved and wildly popular podcast WTF with Marc Maron comes a collection of intimate, hilarious and life changing conversations with some of the biggest names in entertainment. "From a book by a comedian, filled with the words of other comedians, readers will expect some laughs. What they might not expect are heartfelt revelations, life lessons, and perhaps even a cry or two." — Booklist
DARE NOT LINGER: The Presidential Years by Nelson Mandela & Mandla Langa, prologue by Graça Machel
The long-awaited second volume of Nelson Mandela's memoirs, left unfinished at his death and never before available, are here completed and expanded with notes and speeches written by Mandela during his historic presidency, making for a moving sequel to his worldwide bestseller LONG WALK TO FREEDOM. "The title comes from Mandela himself, who noted, 'With freedom comes responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.'" — Library Journal, pre-pub alert
REAL AMERICAN: A Memoir by Julie Lythcott-Haims
A fearless debut memoir in which beloved and bestselling HOW TO RAISE AN ADULT author Julie Lythcott-Haims pulls no punches in her recollections of growing up a biracial black woman in America. "Using powerfully effective prose, the author explains the impacts of racism on her daily life in both small and large ways, its chipping away at her feelings of self-worth. A compelling and important addition to any collection of personal narratives by women of color." — Library Journal, starred review
NASTY WOMEN: Feminism, Resistance, and Revolution in Trump's America, edited by Samhita Mukhopadhyay & Kate Harding
"Twenty-three influential and eloquent feminist writers of the twenty-first century have come together to create this searing and urgent collection. This book invites readers to converse, comfort, and hold one another accountable in the hope of igniting radical, intersectional change." — Booklist, starred review readmoreremove

According to unconfirmed reports, Canon has just retired its full-frame EOS 5D Mark II DSLR camera, allowing its newer, more powerful sibling, the 5D Mark III, to continue the legacy. For most of us, the news of this pricey pro camera's exit will pass without much fanfare. But if you are a big fan of recent films like "The Avengers," "Captain America," "Act of Valor," "Iron Man 2," and "ParaNorman," as well as television shows like "Saturday Night Live" and "House," then you may be unaware of the contributions this camera has made to filmmaking.
While it wasn't the first DSLR with the ability to record 1080p video, the 5D Mark II can be credited as the first game-changing DSLR camera to be successfully incorporated into all aspects of digital video production, everything from films to commercials to TV shows. While expensive for the regular consumer, the 5D Mark II was considered cheap by filmmaking standards, yet it captured excellent 1080p video quality and had great low-light capability.
Alex Buono, director of photography for "SNL," used the 5D Mark II to capture the opening credits, which involved shooting in New York City after dark. The camera filmed the season finale of "House," where director Greg Yaitanes said the camera provided the shallow depth of field and "richer look," adding that he "feels it's the future" in film production.
It's the flexibility due to its size, availability of lenses, and price point that made the 5D Mark II an attractive tool.
"I'm always looking to get the camera into impossible to reach places because those kinds of shots make action sequences much more exciting," said Jonathan Taylor, who used the 5D Mark II to capture some of the stunts in "Captain America." "Most 35mm motion-picture cameras and even the leading digital cinematography cameras are just too big to get into interesting positions."
It was also the success of the 5D Mark II in film production that led Canon to not only incorporate more movie-production capabilities into its other cameras, but also to create a new category of cameras and lenses designed specifically for filmmaking, called Cinema EOS. While the 5D Mark II may be making its final bow, its mark left on the history of digital filmmaking has been sealed forever.

Being an effective private investigator means knowing how to blend. In certain neighborhoods there is no better prop than man's best friend. Over the years I have used my pooch on several cases. Just last month Agent Daisy notched a crucial serve of legal papers.
The attorneys came to me after Garden Variety Process Server couldn't do the job. The woman dodged, either sending her husband or kids to the door as interference. Once I know someone is trying to avoid service I go into stealth mode. Yes, my methods are more expensive but I have a record for producing results.
I started loose surveillance on the suburban home, doing several spot checks. I saw a duck hunting decal on the husband's pickup truck. Where you find hunters you will find dogs. I spied his truck in the driveway and her Mercedes in the garage from the garage door being propped slightly open on warm nights.
I kept walking my dog by the house each night, with the legal papers tucked in my back pocket. Finally, one night the garage door was open. As we walked by I saw the husband in the garage with his labrador. It looked like they were heading in for the night. I approached him and our dogs started their sniffing rituals. In the garage I could see a face peeking out from behind a door to watch the dogs. A woman stood in the door.
After chatting with the husband for a bit I called to the woman at the door. Our dogs romped on their leashes. She said, "Yes? That's me." I served the papers on her without incident. Daisy and I calmly walked up the block.
I use Daisy on other cases when I need to get invited into a house or get up closer to a residence. One of my favorites for seeing if someone is home is the "the lost dog pretext." You can get as creative as you want. Sometimes, I go with a flier of a missing animal and a dummy phone number on the flier. Other times I go with just a leash and collar and sell it like the dog has just fled and I'm a house sitter at wit's end.
I love my work as a private investigator because I get to be resourceful and have some fun. In the end though it's always about results.

With an early Friday break for my Easter weekend, I visited the Keukenhof together with friends Ingrid and Bjorn.
As the three of us (well, some more than others) are quite keen photographers, we were armed with batteries, memory cards and tripods (mine's a monopod), and of course our cameras.
An approximate 450 photos later (my count), we went our way again and headed home. The Keukenhof by now was a very crowded place and I cannot blame the other visitors. The weather was gorgeously hot and the tulips (and other bulbs) were blooming for our enjoyment!
By the next day I had checked and rechecked my photos, of which about 40 made the cut to be placed on flickr: Keukenhof April 10[related post: Major photo update]

DAKAR, Senegal — The authorities in Ghana have conducted sweeping arrests of Chinese citizens in the nation's gold-mining regions, officials said Thursday, the latest sign of tensions between a sub-Saharan African nation and the global power that has become the continent's largest trading partner.
Police, immigration and intelligence officials have swooped down on Chinese gold miners in Ghana, Africa's second-largest gold producer, rounding up 169 Chinese citizens since June 1 and detaining them for deportation, according to immigration officials in the Ghanaian capital, Accra.
"It's an ongoing operation," said Michael Amoako-Atta, an immigration spokesman in Ghana, saying the Chinese had entered the country through "unapproved routes" or overstayed visas to engage in illegal mining. The government crackdown will continue, he added, "until we are clear that such kind of illegalities have ceased."
The small-scale mining activities of Chinese who have flooded into Ghana's gold-producing regions have stirred resentment in the West African nation, which is dependent on China for both trade and investment yet is also flexing its muscles as a new oil producer and one of the region's strongest economies.
The mines have left the countryside dotted with holes, polluted water supplies and raised accusations that the Chinese use Ghanaians as fronts in order to practice small-scale mining from which foreigners are otherwise barred. In October, a Chinese miner was shot by Ghanaian security forces, raising frictions.
In the capital on Thursday, a bus loaded with arrested Chinese miners was seen heading from the Ghanaian immigration headquarters to a court hearing. The headquarters' holding cell was full of arrested miners, many of whom clustered around the cell's solitary door to stare out at passers-by. The Chinese Embassy in Accra confirmed that its citizens were in detention and had not been seriously hurt, according to a statement posted on its Web site.
The arrests have become an intense subject of discussion among Chinese Internet users, with over one million posts on the topic on one popular microblog. Unverified photos circulating online purport to show Chinese people in Ghana with severe injuries. Whether those photos are accurate or not, they have stoked popular anger in China.
"The Chinese Embassy in Ghana has already dispatched personnel to mine sites to further verify relevant circumstances," Hong Lei, a Foreign Ministry spokesman, said Thursday at a regularly scheduled news conference in Beijing.
Authorities in Guangxi, the area of China that many of the miners call home, issued a statement on Thursday urging residents not to go to Ghana and offering miners plane tickets home. Many of the Chinese miners have entered Ghana illegally using tourist visas.
"If we all go back home, the economy of Shanglin will go backward at least 20 years," said a Chinese miner who had been hiding inside a Chinese company in Obuasi, one of Ghana's major gold-mining towns, for the past few weeks. "Who dares to be still operating the mine? We've all closed and been looking for places to hide."
"The Ghanaian authorities hunted us down in Chinese restaurants and hotels," said the miner, who would give only his last name, Li, out of fear for his safety. "Once they caught us, they took all our cash and cellphones. They were just like robbers, really violent."
But he was not pleased with the treatment he received from the Chinese government, either: "Our phone calls to the Chinese Embassy in Ghana always went unanswered."
Some of the world's largest mining companies have invested in Ghana, but unauthorized small-scale mining has been a persistent issue for the country and the Chinese workers there.
Last week, Ghana's minister for lands and natural resources warned that a crackdown on illegal miners was imminent, even as he was meeting with Chinese officials from Guangxi on the issue, according to The Ghanaian Chronicle, an Accra newspaper.
The arrests in Ghana are the latest reminder of continuing friction between China, which is investing heavily in a continent with plenty of natural resources, and Africans who routinely complain about Chinese disregard for local laws, customs and labor rights. Unions and workers have described unequal pay and brutal treatment, notably and recently in Chinese-run oil operations in Niger.
A 2009 report on Chinese investment practices on the continent, conducted by the African Labor Research Network, spoke of "labor relations and practices that are simply unacceptable." It said "trade unions across the continent have expressed deep concerns about the way they and their members are treated by Chinese companies," and referred to "the systematic violations of workers' rights" by the Chinese.
Chinese state-owned companies have been criticized in the past for ignoring the social and environmental impact of their projects when investing in resource-rich African countries. But the Chinese government has rejected criticisms that it is behaving like a colonial power.
China's president, Xi Jinping, who arrives in the United States on Friday to meet with President Obama, said during a visit to Tanzania in March that "China will intensify, not weaken, its efforts to expand relations with Africa."

Rep. Peter Welch celebrated the success of federally funded energy efficiency projects on seven Vermont campuses at Champlain College on Dec. 19, 2013. Federal funding for these projects was secured in 2007 by Welch and Senator Patrick Leahy. Welch was joined by college presidents from the Association of Vermont Independent Colleges and representatives from Senator Leahy's office and the Preservation Trust of Vermont.
"Investments in energy efficiency are a no-brainer. They create jobs, save money and improve the environment. Efficiency retrofits made by these colleges are already yielding substantial savings on their energy bills. In an era of escalating college tuition fees, I applaud their leaders for doing all they can to reduce energy costs that ultimately must be passed on to students and their families. They have also taken advantage of the grants as an educational opportunity for students to learn about the latest techniques for responsible energy use that reduces environmental impact."
In 2007, $1.5 million in federal funds was awarded to AVIC for energy efficiency upgrades, which went towards retrofit projects at Burlington College, Champlain College, College of St. Joseph, Green Mountain College, Goddard College, Marlboro College and Sterling College. Upgrades included investments in energy efficient lighting, thermal windows and doors, additional insulation, replaced window air conditioners and updated plumbing.
Founded in 1878, Champlain College is a small, not-for-profit, private college in Burlington, Vermont, with additional campuses in Montreal, Canada, and Dublin, Ireland. Champlain offers a traditional undergraduate experience from its beautiful campus overlooking Lake Champlain and over 90 residential undergraduate and online undergraduate and graduate degree programs and certificates. Champlain's distinctive career-driven approach to higher education embodies the notion that true learning occurs when information and experience come together to create knowledge. Champlain College is included in the Princeton Review's The Best 384 Colleges: 2019 Edition. For the fourth year in a row, Champlain was named a "Most Innovative School" in the North by U.S. News & World Report's 2019 "America's Best Colleges," and a "Best Value School" and is ranked in the top 100 "Regional Universities of the North" and in the top 25 for "Best Undergraduate Teaching." Champlain is also featured in the Fiske Guide to Colleges for 2019 as one of the "best and most interesting schools" in the United States, Canada and Great Britain and is a 2019 College of Distinction.

Mickey's Chocolate Factory Spicy Peanut Brittle
Yesterday I took my first visit to Disneyland in 4 long years...
Sadly, since it was a spur of the moment trip and I had not budgeted for it- and in that four year span a single days park admission had soared up to $91.00 for a park hopper pass (the hell?!) I ended up just walking around Downtown Disney which is an admission free area with tons of shops and restaurants and is a fun place in it's own right.
One of the shops is a cute candy shop called Marceline's Confectionery. Out of all the many treats in the shop one of the things that caught my eye was spicy peanut brittle.
The brittle it's self is practically worth the price of park admission. It's buttery and sweet without being sticky. It tastes EXACTLY like a solid version of a Payday bar.
The added kick comes from the peanut. While not as spicy as say, Planter's Heat or the hot Lay's nuts, the peanuts still have a nice mild pepper kick. There is just enough heat to take the sweet edge off the candy but not so much that someone who is less of a pepper head would feel blown away by the spice.
I really should have gotten two bags because this was just great!
