Many Pacific Salmon and anadromous trout populations are in chronic decline. An important aspect of salmon management is an understanding of the factors that drive salmon population production and the ability to predict run sizes. Advanced simulation methods are needed for better describing and understanding of the complex interactions betweens salmonids and their environment and improved decision-making about the effects of human activity on their productivity.
This book presents recent progress in modelling tools that have practical applications for estimating full production capacity, determining appropriate harvest levels and providing information essential for habitat remediation.

That unfortunate fire we told you about yesterday that scorched three buildings on Masonic between Waller and Frederick on New Year's Day has been ruled an accident by fire department investigators. The blaze started at 1357-1359 Masonic Ave., a three-unit building, just after 8 p.m. Sunday and spread to two neighboring buildings, causing approximately $1.3 million in damage and displacing nine people.
The fire took 111 firefighters and 50 minutes to extinguish. Investigators believe it started in a lightwell in the back of a narrow pathway between the two homes. The exact cause of the blaze has still not been determined.

2013 Corruption Perception Index Is In And It's Not Pretty
BY Jessica McKenzie | Tuesday, December 3 2013
Transparency International just released their Corruption Perceptions Index 2013, and the prognosis is not looking good. Of the 177 ranked countries, more than two-thirds scored less than 50 out of a max score of 100. Not a one got a perfect score, with Denmark and New Zealand tying for first with scores of 91. On the other end of the spectrum, Afghanistan, North Korea and Somalia squeaked out measly eights.
An analysis posted on Transparency International's blog pointed out that, while corruption perception in Europe has for the most part remained unchanged since the economic crisis that began five years ago, Greece is one of only a few European countries that have improved. Greece's score rose four points this year, rising from 36 to 40. Spain, on the other hand, dropped six points.

Alfred Russel Wallace was born on January 8, 1823 in the Welsh village of Usk in Monmouthshire, a remote pastoral district of low rents and country food. About the time that Darwin was secretively preparing the journal of his famous Beagle voyage for publication at his Down House estate in Kent, Wallace reached the age of fourteen and left home to glimpse the marvelous streets of London. He attended workingmen's lectures, read Thomas Paine's Age of Reason, and gazed into the windows of the best shops before he went back into the country to support himself as a surveyor.
Wallace spent the next seven years near the North Downs as a solitary student of the fossils he saw lodged in the ancient strata of wild streams and valleys he wandered through between intervals of surveying. Later, for a little over a year, he was a school teacher in Leicester. In the town library he became a reader of Charles Lyell (Principles of Geology), Alexander von Humboldt (Personal Travels in South America), and Thomas Malthus (An Essay on the Principles of Population). There he also met and befriended Henry Walter Bates, the young entomologist who would later accompany him on his journey to South America.
When a death in the family called Wallace away to Neath, he read there Darwin's Journal of Researches; he also read Chamber's Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation. From Neath, Wallace wrote a letter to Bates. In it he expressed his desire to study some one family of life thoroughly – "with a view to the theory of the origin of species" – twelve years before the publication of Darwin's first famous volume.
Thomas Henry Huxley (1825-1895), despite his youth, was one of the three scientists whose blessing Darwin sought before publishing his Origins of Species. (The other two were Sir Joseph Hooker and Sir Charles Lyell.) It was through him that science declared its independence from theology; but Huxley, with typical candor, never to the end of his life concealed the fact that Darwin's theory was for him nothing more than a good working hypothesis.
Huxley himself was deeply interested in theology. He insisted that atheism was untenable on purely philosophical grounds and coined the term "agnostic" to indicate his own intellectual position. He occupied his later years with contributions to periodical literature on subjects touching philosophy and theology. A passage from "An Apologetic Eirenicon," an essay he wrote three years before his death, illustrates his personal creed, a kind of scientific Calvinism:
To remember a man is to recall his name and give an account of his deeds. To celebrate him is to speak of those deeds as victories of the spirit. At this celebration in honor of the naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace,(1) it would seem appropriate, therefore, to recount his theories and concepts on the spiritual nature of man. The list is long and varied . . . but Alfred Russel Wallace is a man we barely know. His counterpart Charles Darwin, however, is a man whose name and, to some extent, whose doctrine we are all acquainted with.
That is because history belongs to the victors. In our age, book burning is an ineffectual ritual; and the destruction of libraries in order to eclipse a people's knowledge of its origins and history is impractical – yet this truism of history remains valid.(2) Before Wallace's writings are completely extinguished – put out of print or removed from library shelves to make room for more current volumes – I want to make a note on the event that led to his almost complete anonymity. Today the event itself has been generally forgotten.
Wallace, by nature modest and retiring, led a life that was quietly spectacular. He was a collector of natural specimens who lived by his collections – for four years in the Amazon, and for eight years in Sumatra, Java, Borneo, the Celebes, the Moluccas, Timor, New Guinea, and the Aru and Ke Islands. He was a lecturer in Boston, New York, New Haven, and Baltimore. He was a botanizer in the Sierra Nevada, a visitor to the Yosemite Valley and the Redwood Forests, an essayist of clear and incisive style, an experimenter in spiritualism, and a discoverer of the law of natural selection. Above all, Wallace was a gentleman; and in 1858 he began to commit an extended act of courtesy that remains our misfortune to this day. A brief account should serve to explain.
In 1855 Wallace's first paper on species ("The Law which has regulated the Introduction of Species") is brought to Darwin's attention by the geologist Sir Charles Lyell. Lyell points out that the ideas bear an alarming resemblance to Darwin's own. Darwin replies to Lyell with vexation over the notion of writing for priority and over the possibility that someone else may publish his doctrines before him.
Two years later, Wallace initiates a direct correspondence with the well-known naturalist. His first letter to Darwin arrives at Down House in May. The young man (then in the Celebes) puts questions to his senior on varieties and the breeding of domestic animals. A second letter, which arrives in December, puts questions on distribution. Then a critical and unexpected event occurs. In February 1858, the theory of natural selection is born to Alfred Russel Wallace in the Moluccas. Muffled in blankets in the cold fit of a severe attack of malarial fever, Wallace begins to think of Malthus's Essay on Population; and the idea of the survival of the fittest flashes upon him. He thinks out the theory during the rest of the shivering fit, drafts it the same evening, writes it out in full during the two succeeding evenings, and sends it to Darwin by the next post.
Wallace's third parcel shocks Darwin and fills him with awe. The older naturalist recognizes that the conception of organic change which he has held for nearly twenty years, and pocketed for time to develop a larger body of evidence, has been given a viable and independent form by a stranger in the middle of a tropical rain forest. A marsupial, long evolved in isolation from her eutherian counterpart and bearing her own embryonic young in her pouch, might feel a similar awe at the witness of a live birth. Darwin (whose powers of conception resemble the characteristics of that branch of mammal – the lesser powers of integration, the embryonic offspring pouched until fully developed, the heart more like a bird's than a man's) cannot help noticing that the ideas, which are familiar to him, are conveyed with unfamiliar force and clarity.
On that same crucial day, Darwin writes to Lyell: "I never saw a more striking coincidence. . . . if Wallace had my Ms. sketch written out in 1842, he could not have made a better short abstract! Even his terms now stand as heads of my chapters . . . so all my originality . . . will be smashed . . . ." With his letter to Lyell, Darwin encloses Wallace's essay. Darwin begins another letter, one to Wallace, in which he will renounce all claims to the theory; but he cannot bring himself to finish it.
A week passes, or perhaps a month, and Darwin begins to have second thoughts about establishing priority over Wallace. On June 25th, in another letter to Lyell, Darwin expresses his concern over publishing honorably. To this letter he adds a portentous note: "About a year ago I sent a short sketch, of which I have a copy, of my views to Asa Gray, so that I could most truly say and prove that I take nothing from Wallace." Shortly after Darwin posts the letter, scarlet fever appears in his household and consumes his infant daughter. Under the pressure of this morose circumstance, Darwin sends his short sketch and an abstract of his views on natural selection to his friend, the biologist Joseph Hooker, in London and writes: "I cannot think now. . . . I am quite indifferent, and place myself absolutely in your and Lyell's hands."
Hooker and Lyell move rapidly. On July 1, 1858, Darwin's two closest friends oversee the reading of Wallace's uncorrected essay "On the Tendency of Varieties to depart indefinitely from the Original Type," together with some of Darwin's notes and sketches as a joint paper at the meeting of the Linnean Society of London. The natural sequence of events that leads to this conjunction, and the modifications of the future that result, ultimately develop only one variant of the theory of natural selection – Darwin's – into the dominant species of thought.(3)
Neither Wallace nor Darwin attend the Linnean Society meeting. At the time, Wallace is traveling the Malaysian islands in pursuit of the rare bird of paradise and rarer butterflies. He does not learn that he has forced Darwin's hand until three months later. By that time, Darwin has aborted the "Big Book" he was expecting and conceives of a series of papers made of the same materials; he begins a period of gestation at the King's Head Hotel on the Isle of Wight and by 1859 recognizes that his "Abstract of an Abstract" too will be born a book. Wallace, still in the remote jungles, continues to increase his observations and collections, unaware that the moment of strange and wonderful insight he once felt is about to lead Western thought onto a new path.
Darwin's book, On the Origin of Species, comes into print in 1859. Wallace receives his copy from the publisher early in 1860 while he is still in the islands. He reads the entire volume before he embarks at the end of February on his last and most hazardous exploration of the eastern Spice Islands. Later Wallace states in a private letter to his brother-in-law that he backs Darwin "in his conclusions" and looks upon him as "the Newton of Natural History." After Darwin's famous volume is published, its author still cannot point to a single case he has observed in the wild; unlike Wallace, Darwin has to draw analogies between what he has observed man do with artificial selection in English barnyards and what nature does with natural selection. As a result, his book ends up reading like a long legal argument prosecuting the Creation Theory. It is received by the public with outrage.
When the first wave of frivolous abuse dies down, criticism of a more serious nature arises. Questions come to face Darwin – who reads so slowly, writes so slowly, even thinks so slowly, that he always feels himself desperately behind, like the Galapagos tortoise who concentrates his energy on every next step as he creeps in haste towards the perpetual horizon. These questions Darwin's knowledge is inadequate to answer.
It is now that one of the cool young new thinkers present at the famous Linnean Society meeting, T. H. Huxley, takes up position as Darwin's general agent and bulldog. In a short time Huxley becomes the most formidable scientific debater of the century. He takes on the hostile armies of bishops and archdeacons while Darwin remains at home and conducts his program of biological experiments in the quiet of his garden at Down, content to answer his critics in successive editions (or mutations) of the Origins. Wallace, reassuring and generous, and sometimes a little trying, continues to anticipate Darwin's ideas and sends them to him from the jungle in the form of letters and collections of notes.
In 1862 Wallace turns homeward with birds of paradise as his companions. Two years later he publishes a paper on man in Anthropological Review ("The Development of Human Races under the Law of Natural Selection"). Darwin, who believes that he and Wallace should agree on everything scientific, invites Wallace to write the indispensable book on man and offers Wallace all his bibliography and notes. Wallace, busy with a book on his travels in the Malay peninsula, courteously declines. The current of opinion in the meantime moves strongly in favor of evolution. Darwin, fifty years old when the Origins appeared, is revered before he reaches sixty as the "Newton of Natural History" (a reiteration of Wallace's appreciative phrase), and "Darwinism" (another term generously advanced by Wallace) becomes almost a synonym for biology.
Wallace publishes a second article on man ("Limits of Natural Selection Applied to Man," 1870). In it he posits the natural origin and evolution of man's animal at the same time that he posits a supranatural origin to be the only possible origin for man's otherwise unaccountable faculties. Huxley – who senses deeply that the universe is really only a single hostile action – now steps out from the ring of educational controversy and attacks Wallace ferociously in public. Joseph Hooker (one of the two scientists who originally communicated the papers of Darwin and Wallace to the Linnean Society meeting) writes to Darwin about Huxley's denunciation of Wallace with curious emotional enthusiasm: "The tumbling over of Wallace," he says, ". . . is a . . . service to science." Now, without too much reluctance, Darwin himself undertakes the project he once offered to Wallace; and in 1871, at the age of 62, he publishes the Descent of Man, the book in which he maintains that the difference between man and the lower animals is merely one of degree and not of kind.
For the next several years, public disregard forces Wallace to earn a meager livelihood by grading examination papers. Darwin and Huxley, perhaps out of shame or embarrassment, arrange in 1879 to alleviate Wallace's impoverished condition (an arrangement in which Joseph Hooker refuses to take part). The modest government pension Wallace receives through the efforts of these two men, whose ignorance and bravado had done so much to injure him, allows Wallace to continue writing articles and books until he is nearly ninety-one. Darwin's last decade, by contrast, is valedictory, even posthumous. Upon Darwin's passing, Wallace serves, with Hooker and Huxley, as one of the ten pallbearers who carry Darwin's body to lie in the grave beside Newton's in Westminster Abbey. On the golden anniversary of the Linnean Society meeting at which the Wallace-Darwin papers were first presented, the living members of the Society gather to celebrate the event and award the first Darwin-Wallace medal to Wallace. In 1908 Wallace claims for himself no more than he had claimed in 1858.
Thus the tale ends. It comes to pass that Wallace's portrait never appears beside Darwin's in our children's textbooks or in the innumerable books and journals that extol Darwin's scientific achievements. The respectful deference Wallace paid to Darwin throughout his life not only permitted but, it seems, even promoted Darwin's popular image as the originator of the theory of natural selection and all its related species of thought. Yet, what may not have been? A truly compelling science, one more comprehensive and accurate than our own, is still visible in the record of reasoning and observation which Wallace has left to us.
One final comment. I would have preferred to present you with something more than the documentation of a single historic moment – a review of Wallace's argument for man's place as a spiritual being in the world of life, for example, or an application of his first biological theorem to illustrate how on earth a spiritual variety of the human could grow into a new species of spiritual beings – but circumstances, and my ignorance, require that I first make this note, perhaps poorer (and longer) than you would have wished. Let us hope that the future will permit us other, more delightful and more useful, literary varieties.
Robert G. Petrovich
1996, 2010
(1) This note is based on a talk given at the Human Spiritual Rights Conference sponsored by the Advocates of Religious Rights and Freedoms, Reno, Nevada, Fall 1996.
(2) The following titles by Wallace are still in print: Contributions to the Theory of Natural Selection, The Action of Natural Selection on Man, Tropical Nature, The Malay Peninsula, Narrative of Travels on the Amazon & Rio Negro, Darwinism, Miracles & Modern Spiritualism, My Life (2 volumes), and Island Life. Only one is a soft-cover trade book; the remainder are relatively inaccessible library editions.
Among the number of Wallace's writings out of print are two that we should have considered essential to consult for this essay: Man's Place in the Universe; a study of the results of scientific research in relation to the unity or plurality of worlds and World of Life; a manifestation of creative power, directive mind and ultimate purpose. Both of these volumes have been out of print for more than eighty years. Why this is so may be explained by a statement Wallace made in a letter to a fellow scientist in 1913. These two works, he said, "form together a very elaborate, and I think conclusive, scientific argument in favour of the view that the whole material universe exists and is designed for the production of Immortal Spirits." The demise of these books, it would seem, is simply a matter of political science.
(3) To make clear the nature of the connivance carried out by Darwin's two friends requires the insertion here of a few specific details. First, the body of this joint contribution comprised four elements arranged in chronological order: an introductory letter signed by Lyell and Hooker; an abstract from an unpublished manuscript on species by Darwin "sketched in 1839, and copied in 1844"; an abstract of a private letter to "Professor Asa Gray, of Boston, U.S." dated September 5, 1857; and last, Wallace's essay "written at Ternate in February, 1858." Lyell and Hooker listed the parts of the joint contribution according to the date of composition in order to justify the order of their presentation. Most scientists would agree that the etiquette of publication would allow Lyell and Hooker, at best, to append their letter and Darwin's excerpts to Wallace's manuscript, which is complete and prepared for publication. To add fragments from Darwin's papers never intended for publication was exceptional. To assign these fragments priority in the presentation was unjustifiable.
Second, Wallace's manuscript was entitled "On the Tendency of Varieties to Depart Indefinitely from the Original Type." The title on the page of the Linnean Society Journal of Proceedings reads:
"On the Tendency of Species to Form Varieties; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Selection. By Charles Darwin, Esq. F.R.S., F.L.S., & F.G.S., and Alfred Wallace, Esq. Communicated by Sir Charles Lyell, F.R.S., F.L.S., and J. D. Hooker, M.D., V.P.R.S., F.L.S. & c."
The title of the Journal article magnifies Darwin and the communicators, Lyell and Hooker, with academic titles that diminish the standing of Wallace; the Journal title also presents a message that is quite different from Wallace's contribution. In his essay, Wallace presents a concept of how a variety could become a new species; the printed Journal title speaks to the formation of varieties from species, and to the perpetuation of both by natural selection. This is a drastic shift in emphasis.
The third detail concerns the introductory letter written by Lyell and Hooker. The text of the letter states:
"Two indefatigable naturalists, Mr. Charles Darwin and Mr. Alfred Wallace, . . . having independently and unknown to one another, conceived the same very ingenious theory to account for the appearances and perpetuation of varieties and of specific forms on our planet, may both fairly claim the merit of being original thinkers in this important line of inquiry. . . . neither of them having published his views. . . ."
Lyell was acquainted with Wallace's 1855 essay; for him to write that neither of them had published his views was a departure from the truth that was likely deliberate, and intended to justify publishing Darwin's private papers. From these three examples, it should be clear that these two powerful members of the scientific community – Lyell and Hooker – attempted to ensure Wallace's anonymity from the outset of his public career.
John Langdon Brooks: Just Before the Origin: Alfred Russel Wallace's Theory of Evolution. (Columbia University Press, New York, 1984) in which the twentieth-century biologist John Langdon Brooks provides a re-assessment of A. R. Wallace's contribution to the theory of organic evolution and attempts to reconstruct, step by step, Wallace's elaboration of his ideas about the laws of organic change – what we now call evolution. The final three chapters re-examine the influence of Wallace's ideas on Darwin's own conceptions and expose the anomalies surrounding the events of Wallace's initial discovery, the presentation of Wallace's essay at the Linnean Society meeting, and Darwin's completion of the theory he published as his Origins.

Round Arran cycle ride with GTC, 2015
Every time I head to Arran for a day of outdoors fun it's that 4.40pm CalMac Brodick to Ardrossan ferry that always seems to dominate the last few hours of the adventure. It happened again on Easter Bank Holiday Monday during our annual Glasgow Tri Club Round Arran Cycle.
I have twice before cycled around Arran and once cycled and run the island's highest peak, Goatfell, all in one day. On one of the bike rides and on the Goatfell run outing that 4.40pm ferry was very nearly missed.
You see, the next ferry after the 4.40pm is the 7.20pm and that means several hours of hanging around in damp and smelly exercise kit and a far later than expected arrival back home in Glasgow. (The ferry takes an hour and the drive from Ardrossan to Glasgow takes almost 1.5 hours.)
I guess if you are planning to get the 7.20pm CalMac ferry it is not a major problem and Arran is a great place to spend an extended day, but for most people a day's adventure on Arran starts with the 9.45am ferry and ends with the 4.40pm ferry. It's just how it is.
And so we, the GTC crowd, made the same plan for a Round Arran Cycle Ride yesterday. We met at Ardrossan ferry terminal at 9.15-ish. Some had caught the direct train from Glasgow, others had cycled the 30 or so miles from Glasgow to Ardrossan and a few had driven with bikes in the car.
The CalMac ferry leaves at 9.45am and arrives in Brodick at 10.40am. The circuit of Arran is 56 miles. For most of us this is a perfectly reasonable distance to complete in less than six hours.
If riders want to add mileage to the route they can cycle a figure of eight of the island making use of the short but hilly "string" road that cuts the island in two. For those that want to cycle less, the string road can be utilised to complete a circuit of the north or south of the island.
Yesterday, we all agreed on the 56-mile anti-clockwise round Arran ride. We split into groups according to speed and fitness and set out on an almost wind-free day with the promise of sunshine through the low mist.
Riding steadily around Arran
My "middle" speed group enjoyed a wonderfully steady ride, heading north from Brodick along the beautiful east coast. A long, slow climb as we approached the top of the island split us up for a while. The hill is a bit of a slog so early in the ride but the views as we climbed above the low cloud were gorgeous.
After a fabulous whizz downhill and back into the mist we regrouped beside Arran Whisky distillery at the settlement of Lochranza.
(We heard later that ferries from Lochranza to the Mull of Kintyre were cancelled for the day due to thick mist.)
The plan was to meet up for lunch with the faster and less fast groups at Machrie tea room, at the half-way point, and on the western shores of Arran. From Lochranza to Machrie the route is flat-to-rolling and we enjoyed riding along in small groups, chatting among each other.
I have been a member of GTC for around a decade but I am not a regular attendee at all the training sessions so it was great to meet new people and find out more about them.
Although the coast was dominated by thick mist, every so often the sun would penetrate and the resulting views of sea to the right and landscape to the left were breath-taking.
A long lunch at Machrie (too long!)
GTC re-grouped at Machrie after around two hours of riding. For some the 28 miles had been completed in far less time, while for others it took a bit longer. But, on average, most of us were speedy enough to expect a fairly steady ride back to Brodick to catch the 4.40pm ferry.
However, things did not quite go to plan. Thirty-one cyclists descending on an already busy bank holiday Monday tea room meant that food would take a while to prepare and serve. While the faster group received their food in good time and were able to set off again with more than enough time to easily reach the ferry, the rest of us had to wait. And wait.
The problem was not the tea room but the number of us riders. A large group of GTC'ers decided to forego lunch and headed off again to allow themselves maximum time for an easier steady ride to Brodick.
Three decided to enjoy a slower lunch stop and take the shorter nine-mile string road back to Brodick. Six of us, including me, voted for lunch (if it ever arrived!) and then a much faster, time-pressed ride back to Brodick. I am hopeless without food for fuelling my mind and muscles.
But I think we may have underestimated the number of hills on the southern end of the island! The final 28 miles was a lot hillier than the first 28 miles and this had to be faced after a morning of cycling.
Our six ended up separating and because I had the ferry ticket of a friend (in the fast group) in my rucksack I knew I needed to push on to make that 4.40pm ferry.
In the end, I enjoyed the challenge of it. I have not been doing a great deal of road cycling since last summer and I needed a way to kickstart my bid for improved cycling fitness. That final 28 miles of the Round Arran Cycle certainly did that.
The final push for the ferry
On the uphills I pushed as hard as I dared (and my legs could cope with) and on the downhills and flats I picked up as much speed as my weedy legs could manage.
We passed quite a few other GTC riders who were, by now, suffering from a lack of lunch! I checked to make sure they were okay and they all said they were and seemed resigned to catching the later ferry.
At Kildonan, we scooped up Jamie, a cyclist from Glasgow. He had been planning to recce the Five Ferries Islands Bike Ride but cancelled ferries at Lochranza had forced him to go for an alternative ride (around Arran like us!).
Jamie seemed to enjoy our company and I enjoyed riding in his draft whenever I could! He also told me that he was using the route plan for the Five Ferris adventure from my blog. I was delighted to hear this!
As the hills continued and the minutes flew by my fears rose that we would miss that 4.40pm ferry. It wouldn't be a disaster but it would mean a very late arrival home.
With 20 minutes to go, we reached the final steep hill out of Lamlash. I confess my thighs were burning with the effort of it all but I could almost smell the diesel of the ferry.
And we made it. We arrived at the ferry terminal with 10 minutes spare. But the rush had been for nothing because the ferry was delayed! Thick mist meant that the ferry from Ardrossan was late and so we had at least another hour to wait until it would then depart Brodick for the return trip.
That hour gave all the other delayed cyclists in our larger group the chance to make the ferry, too. It was a brilliant result for everyone and instead of that "blasted" 4.40pm ferry splitting us up for the homeward trip we all enjoyed a happy and upbeat journey together.
Thanks to Scotland's forever fickle weather – and superb company of fellow GTC'ers – I had a fantastic Around Arran group cycle ride on Easter Bank Holiday Monday. What did you all get up to?

USTDA Strengthens Support for Energy Security in Romania
Friday, September 25, 2015
BUCHAREST, Romania – Yesterday, the U.S. Trade
and Development Agency awarded a grant to
Romania's national gas transmission company,
Transgaz S.A., a public joint stock company.
The grant funds a feasibility study to improve
and confirm the technical design and economic
and financial specifications for constructing
the Romanian section of the
Bulgaria-Romania-Hungary-Austria Connector
(BHRA) and the Black Sea-Shore-Podisor
Connector gas pipeline projects.
The grant was signed at the U.S. Embassy in Bucharest by U.S. Ambassador to Romania Hans Klemm and Transgaz S.A. Director General Petru Ion Vaduva. Also present at the grant signing were the Minister of Economy, Mihai Tudose; the Minister of Energy, Andrei Dominic Gerea; Ambassador Mihnea Constantinescu, Special Representative for Energy Security; and U.S. Deputy Chief of Mission Dean Thompson.
"The proposed upgrades to the Romanian National Transmission Network, evaluated by this study, will facilitate increased bilateral trade and support energy security throughout the region," said Ambassador Klemm.
"Transgaz believes that this study will be instrumental in providing comfort to all market participants that the integration of the Romanian National Network with neighboring countries will soon become a reality," stated Director General Petru Vaduva. "This integration will establish the much-needed connection between Southern and Central Europe, while ensuring the security of supply and transparency of pricing in the region."
The projects are a critical piece necessary to increase pipeline capacity and upgrade the gas transmission network's operating pressure, and ultimately enhance energy security in the region. Through the modernization and construction of the new pipelines, Transgaz intends to distribute anticipated new gas resources from the Black Sea, as well as conduct bi-directional gas trade with neighboring countries.
This grant builds on a USTDA-funded reverse trade mission in 2013 that hosted 17 Romanian business leaders and government officials in the United States. The visit helped demonstrate advanced U.S. upstream oil and gas production technologies, practices and regulations meant to help Romanian stakeholders plan for the development of offshore resources along the Black Sea.
The opportunity to conduct the USTDA-funded feasibility has been posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website. A link to the FBO announcement can be found at http://www.ustda.gov/businessopps/. Interested U.S. firms should submit proposals according to the instructions in the FBO announcement.

Our Lakeland Suite has fifty two bedrooms allocated amongst three separate areas allowing us to provide focused care from three specialised teams. Named after Lakeland beauty spots, Borrowdale has its own team of care staff, nurses and a unit manager. Ullswater and Windermere have two teams of carers who are led by nurses and their unit manager who collectively provide care for the residents.
The Lakeland Suite accommodates patrons who need long term care but in addition, also offers short stay respite breaks for clients aged 65 years and over. Qualified nursing staff are experienced in the specialised skills needed for long term and end-of-life care supporting residents and their families alike. Care staff are trained on-site at Total Care, which is a City and Guilds accredited training centre, to levels 2 & 3 in direct care and level 3 in End of Life Care.
Most rooms in the Lakeland Suite are single occupancy and some have en suite facilities. All rooms are fully furnished, fitted with a washbasin and include a television, telephone and nurse-call system. Bathrooms and toilets are located on corridors and near lounge areas. Bath and shower rooms are fully adapted so that any resident can be assisted when using these facilities.
The spacious lounge and dining area opens out into a sheltered garden which is accessible only from within the building. There are various other seating areas including a cosy lounge with television and an indoor fish pond with waterfall. In addition, two conservatories provide for quiet time spent away from a resident's room – one conservatory includes a library with a variety of books in standard and large print. The second conservatory hosts a weekly visit from a hairdresser for which the unit manager co-ordinates an appointment system.
On admission to the Lakeland Suite, residents are assigned a named nurse and the team of care staff will provide personal introductions.

Study of the temperature effect of shear thickening fluid
Publication Details
Tian, T., Li, W., Ding, J., Alici, G. & Du, H. (2013). Study of the temperature effect of shear thickening fluid. 2013 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM) (pp. 833-837). United States: IEEE.
This paper presents the study of temperature effect on a shear thickening fluid made of ethylene glycol and fumed silica with a 20% weight fraction. Four typical temperatures, ranging from 20˚C to 80˚C, were selected to study the shear rate dependence of viscosity. The temperature tests show that the high temperature increases the critical shear rate and lower the shear thickening ratio. A viscosity function is proposed to represent the three characteristic regions in typical shear thickening fluid and to predict the viscosity at different temperatures.

Meeting with the UN
Posted By: Erica
Yesterday I met with several officers of the United Nations mission here, referred to as UNAMA. The folks at UNAMA have themselves been trying to figure out how to coordinate support for civilian casualties. They agree with CIVIC that the international community should provide support for civilian casualties caused by international troops. They also share our concern that funds like ACAP and POHRF could be better coordinated both among NATO states and with agencies within the Afghan government. Having emergency relief or aid delivered and coordinated by an Afghan agency – perhaps at first in partnership with experienced humanitarian organizations – would strengthen the government's longer-term capacity to aid those who have suffered the direct consequences of conflict.

So bright, so beautiful...Ah, Precious
Camel necklace inspired by an 8th-century figure of a camel from Tang-dynasty China.
I'm a big fan of shiny things. Nothing brings me joy like sparkly stuff, and I love to wear a fair amount of bling, which won't come as a surprise to anyone who's been within reflecting distance of me on a sunny day. That would explain why I was hovering like Gollum over a display case in the Gallery Shop housing the Highlights Jewellery Collection – a new range designed to celebrate and reimagine some of the artworks in the Gallery's collection.
The Asian collection turned out to be the perfect focus for the first release of the range due to its superb three-dimensional works, and the jewellery draws on ceramic figures from Tang-dynasty and Wei-dynasty China, a Tibetan bronze temple bell and heirloom adornments from Indonesia.
I met with shop manager Rebecca Allport and product developer Maryanne Marsh to ask some questions about the process, but when they laid the entire gleaming range out on the table, my laserlike professional focus was somewhat compromised.
'It was a deliberate decision to not make exact replicas,' says Maryanne, as my eyes fixate on the silver and gold Padung earrings just in front of us. 'We wanted to take inspiration from particular artworks, and then create pieces that kept a clear connection to those origin works, while being contemporary wearable items for our 21st-century audience.'
The Temple Bell pendant winks in the light as Rebecca tells me about the design process and how the Gallery's Asian art curators were involved in the development. I do my best to take notes as it all seems very complicated.
'Natural gravitation to the objects and sculpture in the collection' – I definitely wrote that bit down, and I clearly remember 'a large amount of refining line and symmetry'.
I'm shown the working drawings by designer Virginia Rouse, of Pushmataaha, who was brought on board due to her very successful collaboration with the Gallery Shop on the jewellery created for the exhibition Afghanistan: hidden treasures from the National Museum, Kabul. The drawings and attendant notes about finding solutions for technical factors are detailed and fascinating, except Rebecca and Maryanne then insisted on draping the pages with the finished jewellery pieces to illustrate 'the journey', and I was unavoidably distracted.
While I spent some quality time deciding whether I was better suited to the brilliant sterling silver or the 14k polished gold plate, it appears my notes were tampered with. They now contain references to 'capturing and honouring the presence of the original artwork' and 'future plans to expand the Highlights range throughout the Gallery's collection', and 'Holly please see me in the office for a chat about concentration skills'.
Looking over them, the underlined notes in my own hand are clearly the most important ones: what are everyone's favourites? For Rebecca, it's the silver Camel pendant, while Maryanne loves the Temple Bell necklace and book buyer Cassandra has her eye on the Taka pendant. Yin Cao, the Gallery's curator of Chinese art, is partial to the silver Horse earrings, while for deputy director and director of collections Suhanya Raffel, it's 'definitely the Taka ring in silver!'
As for me, I really don't think I can narrow down my favourite until I've thoroughly tested all of the pieces with different outfits and in various lighting situations and over a number of occasions. It simply wouldn't be professional of me otherwise. I understand that it might be difficult for some people to be this committed, this task-oriented, but in this case I really feel I have it in me to be a shining example.

Buy this DVD?
Flightplan (2004)
Director: Robert Schwentke
Screenplay: Peter A. Dowling and Billy Ray
Cast: Jody Foster, Peter Sarsgaard, Sean Bean, Erika Christensen, Kate Beahan
Color, approx 93 minutes
MPAA Classification: PG-13
Genre: Action / Drama / Thriller
Reviewed by Jim Lewis
This is a much better movie than I expected.
Jodie Foster's despondent character is flying her husband's body from Berlin to New York. Her young daughter is abducted during the flight. Or is she? Foster is either accompanied by the daughter, or she isn't. Grief may have broken her.
I had seen the trailer. The casting of Erika Christensen ("Swimfan" all-time stalker) as a flight attendant; stewardesses maintaining sideways glimpses at Foster suggests there might be a creepy plot aboard the plane. I resisted seeing the movie in the theater because I thought I knew the two options for the story. Either her daughter WAS with her and "Satanists" aboard the craft have snatched her, or her daughter is dead and invisible to others (Like some characters on TV's "Medium" or "Ghost Whisperer. ")
While watching the film--rather than the trailer--the attendants' glances and forced attempts to converse with and calm Foster may be colored by chatting at a crazed woman who imagined bringing a young daughter aboard. Frantic mom (Foster) seriously disrupts the massive aircraft, frightening and confusing the other passengers, galvanizing the captain and crew.
While I was reviewing my recollection of Foster's interaction with her daughter—seeking clues to her actual existence or not—a therapist (Greta Schacchi) counsels Foster at her seat. The official range of possibilities is put out there: either the daughter is a figment of grieving mom's imagination or the living but lost daughter will be OK until the plane lands.
Mom contends daughter wouldn't have left her teddy bear and coat. Is mom nuts or is she right? The movie is only half over. It's crunch time. We will have no patience for a film that drags out this essential question. So the story takes the next step, and you must see it to learn where it goes. But it's a good ride.
At the time of this writing, the film has done $89 million gross in the US theaters. Admirable. I believe the film would have done even better if the marketing could have suggested the movie had a better secret without giving away the story.
The performances are all excellent. Watch it with a film-loving friend and treat yourselves to coffee afterwards while you dismantle the film. You can enjoy re-writing the script. Maybe you can author Flightplan 2, The Way It Should Have Been. Enjoy.

4 Hot Analyst Reads For Wednesday, May 16th
Bret Jensen
Be like a duck, paddling and working very hard inside the water, but what everyone sees is a smiling and calm face." ― Manoj Arora
Here is a synopsis of recent analyst activity that could move the following small cap biotech stocks in trading this week.
B Riley FBR initiatesTocagen(TOCA) with a new Buy rating and $15 price target. We just covered this intriguing 'Tier 4' name here on The Biotech Nation last week. Riley's analyst believed recent " breakthrough data de-risk the company's Phase III brain cancer viral therapy". It is the first analyst activity I can find on this stock since Stifel Nicolaus reiterated its Buy rating and $24 price target on TOCA on July 25th of last year. I have a small position in this name via a Buy-Write order. The company recently filed a $100 million mixed shelf offering. If the company does a forthcoming capital raise and the shares dip, I may add to my holdings.
A couple of analyst firms get positive on Petiq (PETQ). Jefferies reissued its Buy rating and $30 price target on this animal health play after its posted first quarter results. This morning Oppenheimer assigns a new Buy rating and $28 price target with the following commentary
Yesterday, after the market close, Outperform-rated PetIQ (PETQ) reported Q1 (Mar.) results and reiterated 2018 financial guidance. PETQ has turned quite controversial as a group of rather vocal investors have expressed loudly concerns over the company's business model and controls. We studied closely last night's release and chatted extensively with PetIQ senior management. We come away increasingly upbeat toward prospects for the company and its shares, and incrementally encouraged that not only is the PETQ business model taking shape, but senior leadership is committed to better articulating the nuances of the enterprise to the market. Market sentiment is apt to continue to drive PETQ shares near term. Longer term, we look toward still unfolding and potentially superior sales and EPS power as the key determinants of shares"
Source: Company Presentation
Given today's buyout of Abaxis (ABAX) by Zoetis (ZTS) this morning for some $2 billion, this fast growing pet medicine concern might see some takeout speculation as well.
Wells Fargo initiatesuniQure (QURE) with an Outperform rating this morning with a $47 price target. Its analyst says the following about the prospects of this gene therapy concern based in the Netherlands
UniQure's Adeno-associated virus serotype 5 could be a best-in-class AAV vector for the delivery of liver-based gene therapies. In addition to lead gene therapy candidate Padua variant transgene AMT-061 for hemophilia B, uniQure's pipeline offers "significant option value," including programs in Huntington's and genetically driven heart disease."
Source: Company Presentation
As one can see from the chart above, the company has several 'shots on goal' with definable milestones on the horizon.
Finally, Citigroup upgradesAlkermes (ALKS) to a Buy from Neutral and places a $62 price target on the Irish based biopharma after doing a physician survey and 'deep dive' which led to increased "conviction around the ALKS 3831 value proposition". Further Citi's analyst views "Alkermes' valuation as compelling and is positive on the company's "pipeline optionality and near-term catalyst flow." ALKS 3831 is a once-daily, oral atypical antipsychotic drug candidate for the treatment of schizophrenia. Phase 3 trial data for that indication should be out in the fourth quarter of this year.
And those are some 'hot' analyst reads before the market opens this Wednesday, May 16th.

Ten days holiday exploring different habitats and cultural sites in search of Jordan's birds
Jordan's Birds and Culture
Jordan is one of the smallest Middle East countries but nevertheless it offers excellent birding. It is surprisingly underlooked compared with its neighbor Israel which is a hugely popular birdwatching destination. Situated at the head of the Gulf of Aqaba, on a crossroad between three continents, Jordans birds and wildlife is well worth a visit.
Our tour goes there when the local birds are at the peak of their breeding activity. However, at this time of the year they are joined by huge numbers of migrants returning, or on the way to their breeding grounds further north. Exploring different habitats we will be looking for the local specialties - Sinai Rosefinch, Tristrams Serin, Sand Partridge, Eastern Orphean Warbler, Basalt and other wheatears and many larks species. Raptors, both local and on passage will be also in the focus of our tour including Barbary and Sooty falcons.
Being underlooked Jordan can always surprise a birdwatcher with some real rarity, for example White-eyed Gull. The country is also blessed with ancient history and several outstanding cultural sites.
The ancient capital Petra we will visit is awe-inspiring monument of the human civilization and our visit there is a well worth, moreover it is also a home to some of our target birds.Together with Turkey, Jordan is also the safest and friendliest country to visiting birders in the whole Middle East.
Day 1 Arrive at Amman late in the evening and transfer to a hotel for a two night stay.
Day 2 After a late start we will visit Jerash and Aljub, just north of the capital, which we will explore at our leisure. Highlights today will be mainly warblers - Spectacled, Rupell`s, Eastern Orphean and Bonelli`s, the local race of the Jay and many migrants. At Zarqa river we will have a look for the Long-billed Pipit. Second night in Amman.
Day 3 Today we drive east to Azraq oazis and Shaumari Wildlife Reserve. On the way we will pass Qasr Amra and some desert and scrub habitats. Here we will find many larks and wheatear species - Temnicks Horned Lark, Desert Lark, Hoopoe Lark, possible Dunnes and Thick-billed Larks; Desert Finch, Desert and Red-rumped Wheatear, Cream-colored Courser, Bluethroat, Blackstart and Egyptian Nightjar. Already in Azraq we will explore the wetland and shall record Broad-billed Sandpiper and many other waders, waterfowl Black-winged Pratincole, White-tailed Plover, Greater Sand Plover, many warblers etc. Two nights in Azraq.
Day 4 Today we will explore the unique Basalt desert (As Safawi), situated north of Azraq. Here is the home of the local morph of the Mourning Wheatear - the Basalt Wheatear. Other species we will look for are Bar-tailed Desert Lark, Temminck`s Horned Lark, Thick-billed Lark, Desert Wheatear and Trumpeter Finch. In the evening return to Azraq for our second night here.
Day 5 In the morning we will leave the area and head west, towards the Dead Sea. On the way we shall visit Mount Nebo, Wadi Midjub and Dead Sea area. Highlights today will include Dead Sea Sparrow, Palestine Sunbird, White-cheek Bulbul, Little Green Bee-eater, Mourning Wheatear, Arabian Warbler, Arabian Babbler, Sand Partridge, Hoopoe and Dunn`s Larks, Blackstart and many more. Night at Dead Sea hotel.

Day 7 Short drive to Petra - a unique monument of the human civilization. Being an ancient trading capital of the Nabataean people it was latter abandoned and rediscovered again in 1812. It is also a wonderful site for birding and here we shall look for the Sinai Rosefinch, Fan-tailed Raven, Brown-necked Raven, Tristram`s Starling or Grackle and many raptors including the Steppe Eagle. In the evening we will also look for the elusive Humes Tawny Owl. One night at Petra.

Methods: In this descriptive study, 150 nurses who were working in Qazvin Medical University teaching hospitals were selected by proportional random sampling, and data were collected by means of a researcher‑made questionnaire including demographic attributes (age, gender, working experience,…), and contributing factors in medication errors (in three categories including nurse‑related, management‑related, and environment‑related factors). Findings: The mean age of the participant nurses was 30.7 ± 6.5 years. Most of them (87.1%) were female with a Bachelor of Sciences degree (86.7%) in nursing. The mean of their overtime working was 64.8 ± 38 h/month. The results showed that the nurse‑related factors are the most effective factors (55.44 ± 9.14) while the factors related to the management system (52.84 ± 11.24) and the ward environment (44.0 ± 10.89) are respectively less effective. The difference between these three groups was significant (P = 0.000). In each aforementioned category, the most effective factor on medication error (ranked from the most effective to the least effective) were as follow: The nurse's inadequate attention (98.7%), the errors occurring in the transfer of medication orders from the patient's file to kardex (96.6%) and the ward's heavy workload (86.7%). Conclusion: In this study nurse‑related factors were the most effective factors on medication errors, but nurses are one of the members of health‑care providing team, so their performance must be considered in the context of the health‑care system like work force condition, rules and regulations, drug manufacturing that might impact nurses performance, so it could not be possible to prevent medication errors without paying attention to our health‑care system in a holistic approach.
