Environmental Defense, a leading nonprofit organization composed this study on ways to preserve fishing destinations across the US. The document presents a number of ways to help sustain the environment while not encroaching too heavily on the valuable and necessary fishing markets. In addition to proposed strategies, the document also includes graphs that document the study's findings.
LAPPBrochureRv 10/17/07 5:40 PM Page 1 THE STATE OF AMERICA'S FISHING INDUSTRY TODAY IS CLEARLY UNACCEPTABLE. ABOUT THIS STUDY "Sustaining America's Fisheries and Fishing Communities" was a 14-month, $1.2 million research project undertaken by Environmental Defense in partnership with the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Redstone Strategy Group performed quantitative analysis. LEARN MORE More details on catch shares and LAPPs are available at To be sustainable, a fishery needs to have limits on catch levels, low bycatch rates and protection for key habitats. Despite progress in some fisheries, traditional approaches to fishery management have proven unreliable in protecting either fish or fisherman. These problems are a fundamental consequence of trying to manage fisheries as a commons. In a commons, where shares of the catch are not specified, each fisherman's economic survival is predicated on his ability to fish as hard as possible, whenever possible. As stocks predictably decline, this dynamic too often plays out in a downward spiral of species depletion and economic failures. But the tide is turning. We know now how to protect the environment, increase profits, provide higher quality fish, create more full-time jobs and even save lives at sea. THE CRUCIAL MISSING INGREDIENT IS SIMPLE YET PROFOUND: ALIGNING ECONOMIC INCENTIVES WITH THE HEALTH OF THE OCEANS. www.SustainingFisheries.com, as is a PDF version of the full 32-page report from which this brochure is drawn. ABOUT US Environmental Defense, a leading national nonprofit organization, represents more than 500,000 members. Since 1967, Environmental Defense has linked science, economics, law and innovative private-sector partnerships to create breakthrough solutions to the most urgent environmental problems. Sustaining America's Fisheries and Fishing Communities AN EVALUATION OF INCENTIVE-BASED MANAGEMENT 257 Park Avenue South, New York, NY 10010 • www.environmentaldefense.org Austin • Boston • Boulder • Los Angeles • New York • Oakland • Raleigh • Washington Project offices: Los Angeles • Sacramento • Beijing LAPPBrochureRv 10/17/07 5:40 PM Page 4 Catch Shares + Traditional Management = More Sustainable Fisheries "CATCH SHARES" ARE ALSO KNOWN AS "LAPPS" OR "LIMITED ACCESS PRIVILEGE PROGRAMS." They are innovative, incentive-based tools that align the economic interests of fishermen with ecological and safety concerns. Catch shares work hand-in-glove with other management approaches. They allocate a dedicated share of a fishery's total catch to individual fishermen, communities or associations. If the fishery is well managed, the value of these shares increases as the stock expands. The results are truly impressive. ▲ Catch limits. All catch share fisheries have catch limits and fishermen comply with them more than 90% of the time (A). ▲ Bycatch. About one-fourth of the world's total catch is tossed back dead or dying. This harmful bycatch of unintended species is reduced 40% under catch shares (B). ▲ Safety. With catch shares, safety more than doubles, based on an index of vessels lost, lives lost, search and rescue missions and recorded safety violations (C). ▲ Economic performance. Revenues per boat shot up 80% in five years with catch shares due to higher yields and dockside prices (D). Moreover, catch share fisheries deploy 20% less gear to catch the same amount of fish. They all include time or area-based closures to help replenish stocks. And nearly 75% have science-based monitoring, compared to just 25% of noncatch share fisheries. Simply put, when well-designed catch share programs are added to the fisheries management mix, environmental damage decreases significantly and economic performance increases substantially. Based on these findings we recommend: ▲ Implementing catch shares more widely. Catch shares are a key component to maintaining sustainable fisheries and vibrant fishing communities. ▲ Ensuring effective program design. Educate stakeholders. Streamline the design process. And carefully prioritize funding. ▲ Investing in the future. Some of the increased value created by catch shares should be reinvested in fisheries and local fishing communities themselves. ▲ Constant review. Catch share programs should be adaptive to continuously improve performance and address new issues. This requires updated science as well as a robust process for addressing necessary management changes. " Environmental gains occurred even though early LAPPs were not designed with that in mind. " " Current LAPP programs already save the equivalent of 16 million Americans' annual seafood consumption. A B C D "

> Doula Dreams of Clients Delivery
My good friend and client's 2nd baby is due 2/9. She was early w/her 1st (at 38 wks.) and the full moon is approaching this monday. I wasn't at their 1st birth, but will be present w/this one.
She has not found out the sex of the baby. Last night, I had such a vivid dream about her delivery and post-partum. It was a beautiful baby girl, with lots of dark hair (her 1st is a boy w/white blond hair) like her dh's and looked like him as well. So, I called her this a.m. and told her my dream. She had the exact same dream and had a good contraction this a.m. as well.
You know the dreams you have during your pregnancy about the baby? Well, is it possible to be so connected to your clients, to dream like that about their babies as well?
What do you think?
Hi Lisamarie,
Interesting post!
Yes, I think it's possible. I have dreams all the time about friends' unborn AND born children. I am a firm believer in pre-birth communication and astral projection (leaving your body during sleep) - and I think the babies come visit me quite often. Usually they are around a few months old to a few years old, and they are either laughing or scared. The laughing ones just come around to say "hi there! Look at me! Woo hoo!" and get some snuggles. The scared ones need some hugs, and they seem to be frustrated at how small they are, and how dependent they've chosen to become by being reborn as infants. At least, that's my "take" on it all - it's more like measuring the emotions present as an instant snapshot rather than a movie. I have a couple who visit me quite regularly and I remember the dreams vividly the next morning. I still dream about my preschool kids, "my" kids, all the time. I don't doubt that we are connected in some special manner, by love, even though we live in different states and towns.
And pregnancy is such a magical time - I have no doubt that the little infant souls are checking out who will be in their lives and giving us the once over!
Birth Junkie
Ironically, the client I was least attached to I woke up 2 times in the middle of the night same time she did with cntx.
Yes, I believe it's quite possible to get messages from the client's baby. I have had this happen several times either in the form of a dream or a strong image, message or feeling during my waking time. Many times I have known the day and or time of the birth and the sex of the baby not by guessing but by receiving a message that felt as though it was coming directly from the baby.

Poetics and Poetry Discussion

Let me see if I understand. All poetry is not poetic, and everything that is poetic is not necessarily a poem. Verse is poetry, but all poetry is not verse. I'm not adverse to this. All verse is also not poetic, but some is. Some verse is a poem, and some poems are verse, but not all poems are. Verse, that is. Conversely, some poems are not poetic, especially on this site which very nearly all of the poems are rubbish.
What I meant was that I think Keats, Frost, Cummings, Creeley all wrote/write poetry, verse, poems, prose, and most of it is poetic (good writing) . I think there's room for all the different styles, and the world is a better place for it. We have Mozart and we have The Beatles. They're both terrific. Two completely different styles/forms of music, but they are both great. Same goes for poetry. That's all I'm saying when I say 'splitting hairs'.Replies for this message:

Activity points will accumulate as achieved, however, they will not be added to the grade until the end of the quarter and will be added only if the test score is a minimum of 75%. Group testing - following each of the four (4) unit tests, a small-group test will be given. If a 90% is achieved on this group test, the members of the group shall receive 2 additional points. If the group receives a score of 81-89% each member shall receive 1 additional point. Any group scoring 80% or below shall receive no points. All points achieved through group testing shall be documented as activity points Course expectations 1. Attend all scheduled classes and activities. 2. If absent from class, no points shall be awarded for missed in-class activities. 3. All assignments must be accounted for, before progression regardless of score achieved. 4.

This non-proctored exam can be taken more than once however, a 90% must be achieved. In order to be admitted to the proctored exam, you will need to submit a copy of you non-proctored individual score to Carolyn/Carol, front page only. In order to demonstrate mastery of content, a score of 60% (36 questions answered correctly) must be achieved on the secured (proctored) test. The 30 points available will be allocated on the following basis. o Students with 49 (81.7%) or more questions answered correctly will receive 30 points added to their test totals. o Students with 41(68.3%) or more questions answered correctly; but less than 49, will have 20 points added to their test totals o Students with 36 (60%) or more questions answered correctly; but less than 41, will have 10 points added to their test totals o Students with less than 36 questions answered correctly will receive 0 points added to their test totals. Failure to achieve the designated percentage on the first secured test shall require remediation. All remediation must be completed prior to the end of winter quarter. If a student is unable to complete required remediation prior to the end of winter quarter he/she may request an ―I‖ grade. Failure to clear the ―I‖ contract by the end of the first two weeks of the next quarter will result in the conversion of the ―I‖ grade to a C- and the student will not be allowed to progress.

The lecture material will be better understood if this material is read before the lecture. PEAK FLOW METER Peak Flow Meters are used in some asthma patients to assess how well the person is breathing and how well medication is working. A peak flow meter measures the peak expiratory flow (PEF)—the fastest airflow rate reached at any time during the forced vital capacity (FVC)—volume of air exhaled from full inhalation to full exhalation). So, the peak flow meter measures how well air moves out of the lungs. During an asthma episode the airways of the lungs begin to narrow. The peak flow meter can be used to find out if there is narrowing in the airways hours, even days, before there are symptoms of asthma. By taking asthma medicine early (before symptoms), a serious episode of asthma may be avoided. Peak flow meters are essentially used to check asthma the way that blood pressure cuffs are used to check high blood pressure. Clients, age 5 and older, who have moderate to severe asthma may benefit by using a peak flow meter. How to Use a Peak Flow Meter 1. Place the indicator at the base of the numbered scale. 5. Write down the number you get. 2. Stand up. 6. Repeat steps 1 through 6 two more times. 3. Take a deep breath & place the meter in your mouth & close your lips around the 7. Write down the highest of the three numbers achieved. mouthpiece. Do not put your tongue inside the hole. 4. Blow out as hard and fast as you can Personal Best Peak Flow Number The personal best peak flow number is the highest peak flow number that is achieved over a 2-week period when asthma is under good control. Good control is when the client feels good and does not have any asthma symptoms. Each client's asthma is different and the best peak flow may be higher or lower than the average usual number for someone of the same height, weight, and sex. This means that it is important for individuals to find their own personal best peak flow number. A client's medicine plan needs to be based on his/her own personal best peak flow number. To find the personal best peak flow number, peak flow readings are taken: Every day for 2 weeks Before & after taking inhaled beta2-agonist (if taking) Mornings & evenings (when client wakes up & then about 10-12 hrs later) As instructed by the physician NURS 101 Syllabus Winter 2008 21 The Peak Flow Zone System Once the personal best peak flow number is established, the doctor will provide the numbers that tell the client what to do. The peak flow numbers are put into zones that are set up like a traffic light. This helps to tell the client what to do when his/her peak flow number changes. For example: Green Zone (80 to 100 percent of your personal best number) signals all clear. No asthma symptoms are present, and you may take your medicines as usual. Yellow Zone (50 to 79 percent of your personal best number) signals caution. You may be having an episode of asthma that requires an increase in your medicines. Or your overall asthma may not be under control, and the doctor may need to change your medicine plan. Red Zone (below 50 percent of your personal best number) signals a medical alert. You must take an inhaled beta2-agonist right away and call your doctor immediately if your peak flow number does not return to the Yellow or Green Zone and stay in that zone.

Vote for BSP so I can give I-Day speech from Red Fort: Maya

- Section 66A: 21 individuals whose petitions changed the system
- Government is willing to compromise on land bill: Venkaiah Naidu
- A little reminder: No one in House debated Section 66A, Congress brought it and BJP backed it
BSP chief Mayawati on Sunday voiced her prime ministerial ambitions by asking party workers to ensure a "big victory" for it in the next Lok Sabha elections so that she can deliver the Independence Day speech from the Red Fort.
Trying to position herself for a national role, Mayawati cautioned her party cadre against becoming a "saleable commodity". "You must ensure a big victory for the BSP in the next general elections so that I can deliver Independence Day speech as the prime minister from the Red Fort," the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said addressing a state-level rally of party workers here.
Launching her party's campaign for the next general election, she promised, among many things, to take the issue of reservation in promotions, purposely stalled by a nexus of Congress and BJP, to its logical end. "Due to BSP's effort it (Bill on reservation) was passed in the Rajya Sabha, but the two parties sabotaged it from being taken up in the Lok Sabha. The SC ruled against it because the Congress didn't defend it hard," she said.
Trying to strike a chord with the non-Dalit backward classes, she claimed quota allotted to the OBCs was shrinking. "The Congress and BJP have policies meant to help the dhannaseths (rich people)," she added. She also decried the FDI policy and corruption during the UPA regime.
Listing her other priorities she promised to build memorials to three Dalit icons Mahatma Phule, Shahu Maharaj and Babasaheb Ambedkar on 100 acre each. "It is because of the BSP's push that the Indu Mill land could be had for Ambedkar memorial," she said. She alleged that atrocities were being committed on Dalits in Maharashtra on a daily basis. "It will stop only when the BSP comes to power," she added.

Subversion has multiple server types:
- svnserve daemon
- svnserve via xinetd
- svn over ssh
- http-based server
- direct access via file:/// URLs
Which one of these is best for a small Linux system (one to two users)?
1 of those options is definitely a 'worst' one: file access. Don't use it, use one of the server-based methods instead.
However, whether to use HTTP or Svnserve is entirely a matter of preference. In fact, you can use both simultaneously, the write-lock on the repo ensures that you won't corrupt anything if you use one and then use another.
My preference is simply to use apache though - http is more firewall and internet friendly, it is also easier to hook into ldap or other authentication mechanisms, and you get features like webdav too. The performance may be less than svnserve, but its not particularly noticeable (the transferring of data across the network makes up the bulk of any performance issues)
If you need security for file transfers, then svnserve+ssh, or apache over https is your choice.
Check out FLOSS Weekly Episode 28. Greg Stein is one of the inventors of the WebDAV protocol for SVN and discusses the tradeoffs. My takeaway is that SVN: is faster but the http/webdav implementation is just fine for almost all purposes.
I've always used XInetD and HTTP. HTTP also had WebDAV going on, so I could browse the source online if I wanted (or you can require a VPN if you wanted encryption and a dark-net type thing).
It really depends on what restrictions (if any) you're under.
Is it only going to be on a LAN? Will you need access outside of your LAN? If so, will you have a VPN? Do you have a static IP address and are you allowed to forward ports?
If you aren't under any restriction, I would then suggest going with xinetd (if you have xientd installed, daemon if you don't) and then (if you need remote access) use http-based server if you need remote access (you can also encrypt using HTTPS if you don't want plain text un/pw sent across).
Most other options are more effort with less benefit.
It's an SVN Repo -- you can always pack your bags and change things if you don't like it.
For ease of administration and security, we use svn+ssh for anything that requires commit access. We have set up HTTP based access for anonymous (read only) access to some open-source code, and it is much faster; the problem with svn+ssh is that it has to start up an ssh connection and a whole new svnserve for each user for every operation, which can get to be pretty slow after a while.
So, I'd recommend:
I like sliksvn runs as a service in Windows, 2mins to setup and then forget about it.
If you are going to be using the server only on the local machine and understand unix permissions, using file:// urls will be fast, simple and secure. Likewise, if you understand unix permissions and ssh and need to access it remotely, ssh will work great. While I see somebody else mentions it as "worst", I'm pretty sure that's simply due to the need to understand unix permissions.
If you do not like or understand unix permissions, you need to go with svnserve or http. I would probably choose to run it in xinetd, personally.
Finally, if you have firewall or proxy issues, you may need to consider using http. It's much more complicated, and i don't think you're going to see the benefits, so I'd put it last on your list.
I would recommend the
I've been responsible for administering both svnserve and Apache+SVN for my development teams, and I prefer the http-based solution for its flexibility. I know next to little about system administration, I'm a software guy after all, and I liked being able to hand authentication and authorization over to Apache.
Both tines the teams were about 10~15 people and both methods worked equally well. If you're planning for any expansion in the future, you might consider the http-based solution. It's just as easy to configure as svnserve, and if you're not going to expose the server to the Internet then you don't have to worry too much about securing and administering Apache either.
As a user of SVN, I prefer the http-based integration with Apache. I like being able to browse the repository with my web browser.
I am curious why NOT FSFS?? Important information - I am managing Windows systems.
I have done many projects with SVN and almost all of them were running from FSFS. Biggest repository was around 70GB (extreme), biggest ammount of repositories was around 700.
We never had any issues, even though we hosted it on Windows, NetApp and many other storage systems. Most of the time when I asked why NOT using FSFS only problem was that people simply didn't trust it.

" Houston we have not liftoff "
... for "fakeoff"
The seven hour flight is relatively uneventful other than Rob Roy can't wait for the beach making her rounds with elbows high and fake smiles firing off volleys of turkey buns to appease the restless. They did compliment the two hundred plus with a free beverage, dinner and a roll. We arrive in Lima after an eighteen hour grunt from Calgary at 1:15am. Our pick-up is waiting at the exit with his " Mr. Creestopher Hanseen" sign, a welcome sight. ...
Changes I made
Yesterday, I tried to fix my stay at a guest ranch in the Texas Hill Country. However, the ranch of my choice is closed for a week due to a family wedding. I have checked for alternatives, but I either do not like the ranch or it is way too expensive. Therefore, I will jump on a horse in New Mexico or Arizona. Naturewise I will like those states better anyways.
So, this forenoon I will hop in a bus to San Antonio. Jan 29th in the evening, I will fly to El Paso.
Dorm Experience
Oh my goodness! What a night! 8 girls in 1 room coming and going at any time of the night. Making loud noises, putting the light on, snorring crazy, clogging the toilet, jumping around in the upper bunk, very limited respect. Under these circumstances I had my difficulties catching sleep. Am I getting too old for a dorm?

Houston we have a problem
... a paper sign saying that they would be opening 2 hours from now at 12. Knowing we likely had a problem fraught drive to our next hotel and not wanting to wait around for 2 hours we decided to give it a miss. We took a few snaps in front of the Shuttle in the parking lot and cruised on out. If we had not been to Kennedy space center a few weeks earlier I think I would have been upset but we took it in stride.

We spent the morning finishing off the finances (it's always a long job) before heading to the Katy Mills mall after an early lunch. We weren't sure how the US deals with sales, plus Katy Mills is mostly outlet stores, so in a sense they already have massive discounts on.
We were in luck and managed to get a fair number of items both for ourselves (trainers mostly) and some other bits of clothing for Rowan and some other bits that had been asked for. Unfortunately the Polo ...

This book started well and I found it quite engrossing but it was too long and repetitive and could have done with a good editor.
What a confusing book! Hope that in reality all that is connected with the activities of lawyers, not so confusing. In the book there are good sarcastic, humorous phrases - in the mouth of the protagonist.
A beautifully written tale that addresses moral questions that all individuals face. Compelling more from the perspective of characters than plot twists.
A real time waster. No surprises which I was hoping for after plodding through the book. You needed a "dance card" to keep track of the characters and who was where. In the end I didn't really care!

Hi, there.
We live in an apartment building built in 1899, and the flooring in our apartment is actually just subflooring in the bedrooms and living room (tile and linoleum elsewhere). It is very old wide wood planking that is not level in general.
Up until now, we have had a 35 gal aquarium that we keep half to 2/3 filled for our two turtles, but they are getting too big for it. We want to get a 70 - 100 gal aquarium, but we know that even if it is only half full it will greatly increase the weight could be up to 500-600 lbs, not including the stand, I'd imagine). We have been told that if we get a cabinet style stand, place it on a thick particle board or plywood sheet and make sure to place the aquarium perpendicular to the floor joists and next to a bearing wall all should be fine, but we are nervous, as we live on the 4th floor of the building (our downstairs neighbours don't need a tank crashing onto their heads, much less the landlords).
So, my questions are:
1. Should the above precautions be enough? Too much? Any recommendations?
2. How do I determine which are load bearing walls, and how do I find the floor joists? I know I can buy a stud finder, but I am a total novice at this.
Thanks for any suggestions!

It's been true for decades that in Vermont most of us no longer live or work on farms. Addison County sometimes even seems to be slowly suburbanizing.
So it's easy to forget how wrapped up Vermont's identity remains with agriculture — from the beauty of our landscape to the local produce at the natural foods store around the corner.
While our politics are often dominated by concerns about energy, social services and healthcare, agriculture still has a big role to play.
I am responding to information that was sent out on the Mount Abe Renovation Project (air quality, tandem classrooms, access to the auditorium, pool, gym and library, etc.).
It is proposed that we would spend $32.6 million to add discretionary, nice-to-have, features for Mount Abe. Our property taxes are out of control and we still spend time and money figuring out how to spend more.
I am dismayed by the EPA's recent decision to approve Enlist Duo, a weed killer that contains 2,4-D, a key ingredient in the toxic Vietnam War defoliant Agent Orange.
The EPA ignored overwhelming scientific evidence showing its harm to human health and the environment. 2,4-D has been linked to cancer, Parkinson's disease, and reproductive problems. It is highly volatile and may cause serious damage to nearby non-GMO and organic crops, threatening serious economic losses for farmers.
The Green Mountain Boys of Vermont are back and this 21st-century army of renewable energy soldiers is by all appearances fighting for nothing more than personal gain. With warp-speed competitive zeal this 1 percent band of investors, developers and manufacturers is very busy blanketing the landscape of Vermont with solar fields.
I am trying to understand the cost of Vermont's healthcare system, and how that cost could be met from taxes on working people, should Vermont "go it alone" with the so-called "single payer system."
My 17-year-old son Daniel was attacked brutally by Chad Levasseur just over a year ago in an incident in Vergennes. My son was left laying in the road unconscious from the beating. He needed eight staples in his head. Police reported that Levasseur was so threatening that no one dared intervene as he kept kicking my son in the back of the head.
Nearly every week, we get together with two friends for an afternoon of bridge. Recently, one of our friends suffered a "medical event." Fortunately, another guest is a retired emergency room nurse. She immediately took charge and did all the right things to help him, which also saved us from panicking and doing something that could have been counter to what he needed.
I'm encouraged to see the green "Calvin McEathron for Vermont House" signs sprouting up around Middlebury. You can be sure that each one of those signs represents an in-person visit from Calvin where the resident had the pleasure of discussing Vermont's future with this impressive young man.
I would like to use this letter to briefly summarize why I will be voting for Calvin McEathron and not for his opponent Amy Sheldon.
I write in support of the reelection of Betty Nuovo to the Vermont House. She has faithfully represented the town of Middlebury and all who live here for 28 years. She is experienced, and experience always counts.
