The quality of my life has changed dramatically as this treatment has caused severe stomach pain, nausea and diahrea as well as wakefullness and agitation in the evening. I am requesting my Dr. to take me off as the side effects are very severe... I would rather suffer the consequences of Alzheimer disease then live by feeling sick with severe flu symptoms every day of my remaining life.

Scandal widens; US general's emails 'flirtatious'
Petraeus even honored Kelley and her husband with an award given to them in a special ceremony at the Pentagon just before he left the military for his post at the CIA, an aide said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment on the matter publicly.
White House spokesman Jay Carney, employing understatement, was asked about the revelations involving Allen and said Obama "wouldn't call it welcome" news. Carney described Obama as "surprised" by the earlier news about Petraeus.
As he prepares for a second term, the president has hoped to run a methodical transition process, with the goal of keeping many Cabinet members and other high-ranking officials in their posts until successors are confirmed, or at least nominated. Petraeus' resignation has disrupted those plans, leaving Obama with an immediate vacancy to fill and raising questions about how much other immediate shake-up the national security team can handle.
National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said Obama put Allen's nomination on hold at the request of Panetta. The general succeeded Petraeus as the top American commander in Afghanistan in July 2011 and has been working with Panetta on how best to pace the withdrawal of U.S. troops.
Vietor said in a written statement that Obama "remains focused on fully supporting our extraordinary troops and coalition partners in Afghanistan, who Gen. Allen continues to lead as he has so ably done for over a year."
The unfolding story caused a commotion on Capitol Hill as well, as lawmakers complained that they should have been told about the investigation earlier.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, called the latest revelations "a Greek tragedy."
Acting CIA Director Michael Morell met with Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and ranking Republican Saxby Chambliss of Georgia on Tuesday, to explain the CIA's understanding of events that led Petraeus to resign. That session came ahead of meetings with the leaders of the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, according to congressional aides.
The chairman and top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee said their panel would go ahead with Thursday's scheduled confirmation hearing on the nomination of Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford, who is to replace Allen as commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, if Allen is indeed promoted.
Even though Petraeus has stepped down, Sen. Carl Levin, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said the retired general should testify about the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, "if he has relevant information." Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said it was "absolutely imperative" that Petraeus testify, since he was CIA director during the attack and visited Libya afterward.

State tells you how to get into the marijuana business
on May 16, 2013 @ 3:20 pm (Updated: 7:29 am - 5/17/13 )
The Washington State Liquor Control Board published 46 pages of draft rules that deal with licenses, security, advertising, labeling, and retail transactions.
The draft rules require background checks for people applying to grow, process or sell marijuana.
"There's fingerprinting for all, both Washington State Patrol and FBI background checks of licensees and financiers," according to Mikhael Carpenter, spokesman for the Liquor Control Board, which published the draft rules Thursday.
The regulations set up a point system for determining if an applicant with a criminal record should be excluded from getting a license. There are allowances for people with marijuana convictions, which is a positive development according to Kevin Oliver, executive director of the Washington Chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, or NORML.
"You won't be barred automatically just because you have even a felony for production or possession of marijuana. We're happy that people who've been busted because it's a stupid law are not necessarily barred from [getting a license]; that's a real positive step."
The rules spell out requirements for facilities that grow, process or sell marijuana. Security requirements focus on alarm systems, cameras, and employee IDs.
"Identification badges for all employees within the licensed premises, alarm systems, at a minimum you're going to have to have a security system on all perimeter entry points and perimeter windows," said Carpenter.
The draft rules consider quality control, requiring retailers to test their product at state-approved laboratories.
There are also rules addressing labeling and advertising. A store could have one small exterior sign, 1,600 square inches in size.
The state spent eight months researching possible rules, talking with academics, politicians and people in the medicinal marijuana industry with a goal toward developing a tightly controlled and regulated marijuana market, including collecting and distributing taxes and fees, said Carpenter.
The public can comment on the draft rules until June 10. Carpenter said the state will start accepting license applications for 30 days in September. Licenses will be granted in December and retail stores could open as soon as early 2014.

First official 2013 Audi Q3 photos released
Audi has lifted the veil on the updated Q3, revealing the compact SUV in all its production glory for the first time ahead of a planned public premiere at next week's Shanghai motor show.
Set to go on sale in June in Europe, the Q3 is Audi's third dedicated SUV model, following the Q5 and the Q7. Ingolstadt officials are remaining tight-lipped on plans to put the five-seater on sale in North America, although it might hit local showrooms late next year as a 2013 model.
The Q3 is based on the same platform structure as the recently facelifted Volkswagen Tiguan, with which it also shares transversely mounted engines and gearbox combinations.
The Audi ute is the latest entry into a crowded compact-SUV market. Its chief top-shelf rivals include the strong-selling BMW X1, the soon-to-be-launched Land Rover Range Rover Evoque and the upcoming Mercedes-Benz GLC--the latter which is based on modified underpinnings from the second-generation B-class due out later this year.
Previewed as a sportier three-door concept at the Shanghai motor show in 2009, the five-door Q3 continues the current Audi design lineage with a clean and unadorned exterior with a clear upmarket appeal. Traditional features such as the single-frame grille, trapezoidal headlamps, prominent shoulder line and wraparound tailgate combine to give it unmistakable Ingsolstadt connections.
At 172.8 inches in length, 72.0 inches in width and 63.0 inches in height (roof rail included), the Q3 is 9.5 inches shorter, 2.0 inches narrower and 2.2 inches lower than the Q5. Audi claims a 3,307-pound weight for the base front-wheel-drive model; it's 463 pounds lighter than the entry-level version of the Q5.
Weight-saving measures include the adoption of an aluminum hood and tailgate, although the remainder of the body is made from high-strength steel. Extensive wind-tunnel testing leads the Audi adopt a flat undertray and results in an impressive 0.32 coefficient of drag.
The Q3 will be offered in Europe with the choice of three engines, with a fourth unit planned to be added to the lineup toward the end of the year.
Included in the launch lineup is a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder direct-injection gasoline unit making 168 hp in the initial base version of the junior off-roader that can be specified with either front- or four-wheel drive.
At the other end of the lineup is a more powerful 208-hp version of the same gasoline engine running added turbocharger boost pressure and available exclusively with all-wheel drive. According to Audi, this rig is good to hit 62 mph in 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 143 mph.
The only diesel available from the outset of European sales will be a 175-hp version of Audi's 2.0-liter common-rail engine, which like the range-topping gasoline unit can only be had with all-wheel drive. Also planned is a 138-hp version of the diesel that runs either front- or all-wheel drive.
Gearboxes include a standard six-speed manual on the lesser gasoline and diesel units and a seven-speed S-tronic dual-clutch for the top-end engines. The S-tronic gearbox comes with optional shift paddles, and as a first on any Audi model, it uses a clutch to disengage the engine and allow the Q3 to roll freely without any mechanical drag on a trailing throttle when the driver dials up efficiency mode.
Unlike the Torsen-based all-wheel-drive system of the Q5 and Q7 models, the Q3 relies on a simpler and lighter Haldex multiplate clutch arrangement, as used on the Audi's sister ute, the Tiguan. Further traction enhancement comes by way of an electronic differential lock integrated into the standard ESP (electronic stability program).
The Q3 attempts to trump its compact-SUV rivals with a typically high-quality interior. The dashboard flaunts a design common throughout the Audi lineup, as do the instruments, switchgear and trims. Accommodation is claimed to be on par with the Tiguan, with seating for up to five adults.
As we've come to expect from Audi, there is a long list of options. Included are high-end items such as a Bose surround-sound system with 14 individual speakers, a hard-drive-based navigation system that operates in combination with a seven-inch color screen, onboard Internet and a parallel-parking assistant that uses 12 ultrasonic sensors to steer the car into tight parking spaces.
Production of the Q3 will take place at Volkswagen Group sister company Seat's underutilized Martorell factory near Barcelona in Spain. While Audi hasn't officially announced any volume targets for its latest model, insiders say internal sales studies point to a potential for up to 100,000 sales annually.

"My dad (Monty) was a bulldogger and my mom (Nancy) was a barrel racer," Cronin said. "So we've been loading up the trailer, jumping in the pickup and going to rodeos for as long as I can remember."
The elder Cronins passed down the tricks of the rodeo trade.
"It has always been horses first," said the 29-year-old, who is one in the long line of Cronins who were high school football standouts for the Gettysburg Battlers. "I put big-time emphasis on my horses. If they are at the top of their game, it allows me to be at the top of my game. So the focus is always on them first."
Casey Cronin likes to joke with his mom, who still barrel races.
"Growing up, we were using the generic shampoo in the house, but the high-end salon products were out in the barn for the horses," he said with a laugh. "So I like to kid her and say we always knew where we stood. Horses first."
Cronin has grown up not only admiring and respecting his parents, but emulating them as well. Just as he and his siblings grew up following their parents on the Badlands Rodeo Circuit when there was time, that life has continued for Casey, his wife and pro barrel racer, Nikki, and their 2-year-old son, Wiley, and their 14-month-old daughter, Layla.
The Cronins also continue to farm cropland, raise cattle on their ranch west of Gettysburg and focus on their family.
"We go to probably about 20 to 25 rodeos a year," Casey Cronin said.
Nikki and Casey Cronin will be in Aberdeen Tuesday night to barrel race and wrestle steers at the second and final night of the 38th annual Dacotah Stampede Rodeo. Both performances tonight and Tuesday will start at 7 p.m. in the grandstand on the Brown County Fairgrounds on the northwest edge of Aberdeen.
"We really like going to the Aberdeen rodeo because it is nice and close for us," Nikki Cronin said. "Plus they usually draw big crowds and the crowds are really into it. And that is really nice as well."
Casey Cronin said when he and his siblings were growing up going to rodeos, they would be handed off to their dad after he performed so their mom could perform. That tradition also has been carried on by him and Nikki with their kids.
"It can make things challenging at times, but we usually have a lot of fun," Nikki Cronin said. "We recently had a couple of weekends off, which was nice, but our son kept saying, 'Let's go to the rodeo.' So I know he really likes it."
The Cronins like the family atmosphere that farming, ranching and rodeo foster.
"In rodeo, they welcome you into the family right away, and you make life-long friends," Casey Cronin said. "Everyone is competing, for sure, but everyone also pulls together and helps out everyone in any way that they can. And if you need a place to stay overnight, you always have a place available, no matter where you are."
Even though they grew up only about one hour apart, Casey and Mobridge High School graduate Nikki (Moon) did not meet until they went to South Dakota State University, where both were on the rodeo team for a couple of seasons.
"Growing up, Nikki's dad was our crop adjuster from Glenham," Casey Cronin said. "So I kind of knew who her dad was, but I didn't know Nikki."
She rodeoed for her first two years at SDSU before focusing full-time on her nursing career. She grew up doing youth rodeos.
Casey didn't start steer wrestling until his sophomore year of college.
"I got started when I went to the Cowan family bulldogging school at Highmore," he said. "So I was kind of a late bloomer."
Nikki and Casey Cronin are each seasoning new rodeo horses, so this season hasn't always gone as planned. Casey has been riding Chuck since last winter, and Nikki will ride Roy for the first time in competition at Aberdeen. Both have the utmost respect for the animals at the rodeo.
"It just takes awhile to click when you are on a new horse," Casey Cronin said. "There is also a trust factor there between you and your horse, and it takes some time to build that relationship. Your horse is the one who is going to put you in position to have success. But once the two of you start clicking, it feels great."
Casey Cronin said that in steer wrestling, a lot can go wrong. Not only does the bulldogger have to worry about his horse, the steer and himself, but the hazer and his horse on the other side of the chute. The job of the hazer and his horse is to ride parallel with the steer to ensure the steer runs in a straight line.
"You have to be super focused because you are dealing with three animals and two people. Now, there are a lot of different ways things can down with that many things involved in something that is supposed to happen in only a few seconds. So you have to be prepared for anything."
For Nikki Cronin, she likes the speed and challenge that barrel racing provides. Barrel racing is also a sport of seconds.
And both Cronins are looking forward to seeing how their seconds in the spotlight turn out this week in Aberdeen.

Medical imaging specialists Aperio have broken the 4GB file size limit on the TIFF image format by creating their own format called BigTIFF and offering the format into the public domain (an amazing fact in its own right). To showcase the power of BigTIFF image resolution, Aperio has released the first terapixel image.

President Barack Obama's April 27 executive order, "Streamlining Service Delivery and Improving Customer Service," directs agencies to develop and monitor customer service plans and solicit customer feedback to improve service. It calls for using technology to streamline customer service and emulating practices that have worked in the private sector.
Customer service initiatives aren't new. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush both had them. Agencies did what they were asked: They established standards and published reports. But we didn't change our frame of reference, so our customers didn't see much difference in the way we served them.
How can agencies ensure a better outcome this time? By looking at government from your customers' point of view. Here are some ideas.
Sound familiar? Many agencies are so busy meeting management goals that they lose sight of the fact that their programs might provide only part of what customers need to complete their tasks.

Someone has to think like a techie. None of these managers and salespeople know how to make any of this hardware/software work. They just hype themselves and the fancy brochures looking for a quick sale to boost THEIR bottom line this month. They don't really care if what they sell to the customer works, that is the resposibility of some machine room grunt.
If you have a monopoly on a product or service, like the Government has, customer service is an optional item for that organization to survive.

It doesn't surprise many to hear that Dan Kennedy's saves kept Chivas USA alive in many games, and the second match against Colorado Rapids was no different.
The Red-and-White were down one goal in the 60th minute when Omar Cummings headed a cross by Hunter Freeman to the left side of the goal. Luckily for Chivas, Kennedy's cat-like reflexes avoided that shot from hitting the back of the net. Fortunately for the Goats, Juan Pablo Angel notched the equalizing goal for a final 1-1 draw with the home team.
Check out the save that even left Omar Cummings at awe:

Dan Kennedy might've not won MLS Goalkeeper of the Year and we think we just found out the most legit reason:

It didn't take much for Dan Kennedy to make a good impression in the 2012 season and earn the MLS Player of the Week in the sixth week, becoming the first goalkeeper to earn the award in the year.
Kennedy earned that honor after a stupendous match against Toronto FC where the Red-and-White earned their third consecutive victory on the road. The Goats were up by one goal by the 70th minute, when Toronto forward Danny Koevermans flicked a cross at goal; fortunately for Chivas, Kennedy was in the right place at the right time to prevent the ball from crossing the goal line. Minutes before the end of the match, Koevermans continued looking for a goal but Kennedy saved and kicked the ball out for a corner kick in favor of the Canadians.
Check out Kennedy's top saves in that match:

They say three times the charm but when it comes to saves, Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy denies them all. Among the 109 saves Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy had in the 2012 season, three of those came from the first SuperClásico of the year, the first victory for Chivas USA since 2007.
The Goats and the Galaxy were scoreless in the 50th minute when a corner kick taken by LA's Landon Donovan led to three consecutive saves for Kennedy, denying Pat Noonan, Sean Franklin and Kyle Nakazawa. Because of this, Kennedy earned a nomination for MLS Save of the Week.
In that match alone, Kennedy had four saves and earned his third shutout of the season. Check it out:

Who said saves were solely for goalkeepers? In our first top save of the year, defender James Riley cleared the ball before it passed the goal line and now, its John Valencia's turn.
Chivas USA hosted Real Salt Lake in the final match of September, a long and challenging month for the Goats. In the 56th minute of the match, Valencia made a sliding save to keep RSL's Javier Morales' shot from passing the goal line and taking the ball out for a corner kick. After the save, Valencia received praise not only from the fans but Dan Kennedy himself.
His save also earned him a nomination to MLS Save of the Week. Check it out:

Although Goalkeeper Dan Kennedy made 109 saves this season, he wasn't the only one making saves. Defender James Riley made a great save as Chivas USA hosted Seattle Sounders in the second meet against the club this season in late August.
The Rojiblancos were down 1-nil to Seattle in the 20th minute when Brad Evans headed the ball towards goal. Kennedy attempted to punch the ball out of the box but missed; the ball continued its way but Riley cleared the ball before it passed the goal line. The match ended in a disappointing 6-2 home loss for the Goats, but Riley's save prevented a larger goal differential.

Chivas USA's Marco Delgado and Academy player Ben Spencer joined the U.S. U18 Training Camp last Saturday, November 17 for a one-week camp held in The Home Depot Center. The red, white and blue will face the Canadian U18 squad on Wednesday, Nov. 21 and Friday, Nov. 23 in the Carson stadium as part of the training camp.
The last training camp for the U.S. U18 was back in early September. Both Delgado and Spencer made the ten-day training camp trip to the Netherlands. The American squad earned a 3-1-0 record against the youth ranks of Feyenoord Rotterdam, Borussia Dortmund and Club Brugge. The most impressive win for the U18's was a 4-2 victory over the home country's youth national team on Sept. 11.
In four friendly games this year, the U18's hold a 1-1-2 record, with Academy forward Spencer leading as team scorer with two goals.
Come out and enjoy a pre-Thanksgiving day match and cheer on Chivas USA players at The Home Depot Center; both matches will start at 3 p.m. PT, are open and free to the public. CDChivasUSA.com will be tweeting from the match. Follow us: @cdchivasusa

Chivas USA's Ante Jazic and Dan Kennedy have been named finalists to MLS' Year End Awards in their own respective categories. Defender Jazic is nominated for the Xbox Individual Fair Play Award while Dan Kennedy is nominated for Goalkeeper of the Year.
The Individual Fair Play award is issued using the criteria of fouls committed, cards received, games & minutes played, as well as an evaluation of sportsmanlike behavior. In 2012, Jazic played a total of 27 games (all starts) received no yellow or red cards and committed eight fouls. Jazic is nominated for the award along with Chicago Fire's Logan Pause and former Goat Heath Pearce of the New York Red Bulls. The winner of the award will be announced Monday, November 19.
In a challenging season for the Goats, Kennedy managed to make 109 saves in 32 games played, ending the year second to Columbus Crew 'keeper Andy Gruenebaum with 125 saves. Kennedy had been nominated in ten occasions to MLS Save of the Week, being named Player of the Week in the sixth week. The Yorba Linda, Calif. native is nominated for the league award along with Michael Gspurning of Seattle Sounders and Jimmy Nielsen of Sporting Kansas City. The winner of Goalkeeper of the Year will be announced on Wednesday, November 28.
If Kennedy takes the award, it will be the second time a Chivas USA 'keeper earns the honor; former goalkeeper Zach Thornton took the award in the 2009 season after ending the year with 83 saves and 0.87 goals against average.
Take a look at one of Kennedy's 109 saves of the 2012 season:
Juan Agudelo and the U.S. National Team earned a 2-2 draw Wednesday night to Russia in Kuban Stadium. Michael Bradley scored the lone goal for the Americans, breaking Russia's 449 minutes without conceding a goal.

The Cheese Box to the Rescue
"No mortal man could have surmised what was afterward learned, but the Confederate Naval officers intended to destroy the Minnesota…"
Confederate Military History, volume 12
There have been only three United States naval ships that have borne the name Minnesota. The third of those was just christened on October 27, 2012 in Newport News, Virginia. The third Minnesota is technically a nuclear attack submarine. At 377 feet long and 7800 tons, the Minnesota is the tenth Virginia class submarine and is one of the most advanced. Able to dive to depths of 800 feet and cruise at 25 knots, it will be deployed on the frontline of maintaining our nation's superiority under the sea. The ship should be ready for full-service sometime in the summer of 2013. What the crew of the present-day Minnesota may not know is that the first ship to bear that name has a proud place in United States Naval history dating back to the Civil War and the famous naval battle of Hampton Roads.
As the morning dawned on March 8, 1862, none of the crew of the Civil War battleship "Minnesota" had any inkling they were destined to be witnesses to the changing history of naval warfare. The Minnesota was the first battleship to carry our state's name in the Navy and was originally built only five years earlier as a steam frigate -- a sailboat with steam engines. As all ships of those days, the Minnesota was built out of wood with a crew of 600 men and carried 43 guns. By this time of the Civil War, it already had a distinguished career by sailing on important diplomatic missions to most of the major ports of the Orient, but that would all pale in the next two days of battle.
By March 8 the Minnesota had been very successful in capturing several enemy ships along with its fellow Union battleships the Cumberland and the Congress, and they set sail for more conquests of the weaker Confederate fleet. As they moved into the mouth of the James River from the Chesapeake Bay on that fateful day, they encountered a strange vessel riding low in the water. It was the newly designed Confederate Ironside battleship, the Virginia, on its maiden voyage.
The Virginia was originally a large wooden steamer known as the Merrimac that Confederate engineers retrofitted with 4-inch iron plates surrounded 14 well-protected cannons. The three proud union battleships engaged the Virginia in fierce battle. The frigate Congress soon sunk and the Cumberland narrowly escaped with major damage. The Union sailors were horrified to see their cannonballs bounce off the side of the iron-plated ship like pebbles, inflicting no damage. As night fell, the valiant Minnesota, still engaged in the battle, ran aground trying to evade the cumbersome Confederate gunboat and was saved that first day only because of nightfall.
In the morning the Confederate Ironside set out with the intentions of destroying the grounded Minnesota. As the behemoth drew near to the Minnesota, the Confederate sailors noticed a small odd looking little vessel they described as having the appearance of a "cheese box" taking position between the two ships. It was the Union "Monitor", itself an iron-plated vessel. It was only a third of the size of the Virginia and had only two specially designed guns that provided rapid fire from a pivoting turret. The two vessels pounded each other for three hours without much damage to either vessel. The cannons at the time were only designed to penetrate wooden ships. The slower Virginia finally withdrew from the engagement giving the Minnesota time to escape at high tide.
The crew of the Minnesota was certainly thankful for timely arrival of the little cheese box. As a result, the Minnesota went on to have a long history of service within the U.S. Navy, being decommissioned in 1901. Neither of the two ironside ships had such a long career, both sinking as a result of mishaps unrelated to battle within a few months, but they changed forever how naval battles were fought as this was the first time that two iron ships met in battle. The crew of the Minnesota had the unwelcome distinction of having a front row seats to the historic event.

PRISM states barcode the cab cards. The code contains the registrant and vehicle information that is also printed on the cab card. If the safety responsibility of the vehicle is not expected to change during the year, the cab card will also reflect the carrier responsible for safety's USDOT number, name and mailing address. If the safety responsibility is expected to change, then the barcode should not have any information concerning safety responsibility.
The barcoding of the information on the cab card provides efficiency at roadside events as well as accuracy in the information collected on accident and inspection reports.
The barcode on the cab card can assist the inspectors in completing the Federal and State specific crash and inspection form in a timelier manner. If the carrier responsible for safety remains the same as that printed and barcoded on the cab card, the completion of the inspection forms will be faster and easier to do.
Note of Caution: Not all states are implementing PRISM at this time. When using the information displayed on a cab card to determine the motor carrier responsible for safety, be advised that not all jurisdictions that barcode information on their cab cards are PRISM Compliant and predetermine the motor carrier responsible for safety. Some of the states that are not PRISM Compliant are barcoding their cab cards with the registrant information, which may or may not also be the motor carrier responsible for safety.

Episode 2 - Shark Tagging with NOAA/NMFS
Posted October 2nd, 2009 by RandyKochevarStinky Mammal Breath Mako Good numbers of juvenile makos made their presence felt this year and sharks captured ranged in size from small neonates of ~70 cm up to sub/adults of up to 2.5 m, FL. One of these large makos had a noticeable problem with its oral hygiene as we brought it onboard! Russ Vetter and Paul
Shark Tagging with NOAA/NMFS
Posted September 25th, 2009 by RandyKochevarIn late August, Paul Rogers from Flinders University joined scientists from NOAA/NMFS' Large Pelagics Group to conduct an annual juvenile shark survey in the Southern California Bight, which included tagging a variety of sharks with TOPP tags. Paul was kind enough to write up a wonderful series of articles about this work, each of which is accompanied by stunning photographs. Rather than putting up a single, giant blog, I am going to be putting the pieces up individually over the next few weeks -- so stay tuned and check back often for updates!
Tagging Sharks in the Southern California Bight
Posted July 10th, 2008 by HeidiDewarThe NMFS team just completed its annual juvenile shark survey in the Southern California Bight. This area is an important nursery ground for blue, mako, white and thresher sharks, all of which are caught in local fisheries. Blue and mako sharks are the two species most commonly caught during this survey although we do occasionally catch mola mola, pelagic rays and thresher sharks as well. Through the survey we collect a range of biological and fisheries data and also deploy satellite tags in collaboration with the TOPP program.
The Mako and Me
Posted November 12th, 2007 by JaneStevens"I have been in the water (no cage) many times with makos, and they generally make very bold and fast approaches to the photographer," notes nature photographer Richard Herrmann. "This one was no different."
Interview with a Mako
Posted November 6th, 2007 by JaneStevens"Great Whites are a bunch of punks," he said, spitting chum as he spoke. "Ever since that movie by that Steven Spielberg fellow, they all swim around like their fins don't stink. We all have notochords of cartilage, you know. Not just the big bad Great White." Those fightin' words were uttered by Quint, a macho mako shark who hangs out off Long Island.

I'm thinking of a fish as well for the same reasons you mentioned. I borrowed a 18 inch wide thruster a few weeks back, tried to surf 2-3 footers and couldn't catch a single wave. Evertime I thought I had one, I'd go to popup and the board sunk down and the wave passed under. Is it really true that a 5'10'' fish...say >22 inches wide > 2 1/2 inches think can catch more waves than a minimal or funboard (say 7-8 footer range same width and thickness though)? If so I'm sold on getting a fish.vodafone wrote:Thanks KS for the reply. Well I really love the mini mal when the waves get down to 1-3 feet as it becomes super hard if not possible to get on my 17.5 wide thruster, I think I will even love the fish more if what you said is true

Thanks for the input. I figured with the shorter length of a fish, there is much less room for error as far as getting your feet into the sweet spot. An inch or 2 too far forward and your nose diving. An inch or 2 too far back and the nose will pop up too much and the wave will pass under you. How is your paddle out and duck diving ability on your new fish? Can you slice right through the waves easily or do you get knocked around some or knocked backwards.vodafone wrote:Hi Bub I just had my 2nd day with the fish, from my 2 days exp. I would say it catches waves way better than a thruster but not as good as a funboard... yet ( I still need time to adjust). One thing to mention is with the shorter length, the board is quite unforgiving in the sweet spot, it is alot harder to catch waves if you accidentally lie an inch back on your board. Oh and you don't need as much pump as a thruster once you get on it.

The Hippo pathway is an important evolutionarily conserved signaling pathway that controls organ size and tumor suppression by inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis (1,2). An integral function of the Hippo pathway is to repress the activity of Yes-associated protein (YAP), a proposed oncogene whose activity is regulated by phosphorylation and subcellular localization (3,4). When the Hippo pathway is turned off, YAP is phosphorylated and translocates to the nucleus where it associates with various transcription factors including members of the transcriptional enhancer factor (TEF) family, also known as the TEA domain (TEAD) family (TEAD1-4) (5,6). Although widely expressed in tissues, the TEAD family proteins have specific tissue and developmental distributions. YAP/TEAD complexes regulate the expression of genes involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis (5).

There was a lot of talk when Linksys released some new IP phone models recently with the iPhone name about how this might impact the long-rumored Apple phone. (I reviewed one of the those iPhones last month). When Steve announced the iPhone yesterday, pretty much everyone assumed a deal had been made with Cisco (who owns Linksys) for the name. Then we saw a non-committal press release from Cisco, which made it sound like a deal was in the works but not yet signed, sealed and delivered.
Now news is hitting the wires that Cisco has filed a trademark infringement suit against Apple over the iPhone name. This could get interesting. I suspect the price Apple is surely going to have to pay for those six letters just got a lot higher.
When I reviewed the Linksys iPhone back in December I asked my contact at Cisco about the name and was told that Cisco acquired Infogear Technology Corporation in 2000, and Infogear had trademarked "iPhone" all the way back in 1996. I was also told that the CIT200 was the first Linksys-branded product in the iPhone family, which has been shipping since October of 2005.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Continuing some CSI-type reconstruction of how a last-minute amendment turned a rather innocuous tax credit for natural gas-powered vehicles turned into a heyday for buyers of all types of hybrid and flex-fuel vehicles -- and is costing the state some $100 million in lost tax collections:
We know the strike-and-insert amendment to the Marcellus Gas and Manufacturers Development Act was offered on the evening of the final day of the 2011 session by then-House Finance Chairman Harry Keith White, D-Mingo, about an hour into the 7 p.m. floor session.
Not unusual that it would be a Finance Committee amendment or that it would be strike-and-insert (which replaces the entire contents of the bill, and is frequently done to avoid screwing up numbering of code sections that can occur with cut-and-paste amendments.)
Even in the era of transparency, with delegates able to see the 40-some-page amendment on their laptops or tablets, it would have been a near-impossibility to decipher in the few moments before the vote on the bill how it greatly broadened the types of vehicles that could qualify for the generous tax credit.
In fact, it passed 95-4, with Andes, Cowles, Jonathan Miller and Savilla voting no.
White said that, with all the recent controversy, he tried to go back to recollect what happened.
He said he couldn't recall who requested the tax-credit expansion included in the amendment, but said it was agreed-upon (meaning the House and Senate leadership had signed off on it), and said no one from the Tax Division or governor's office raised any objections.
(Suspicions are that auto dealers pushed it, but I couldn't reach lobbyist Ruth Lemmon for comment Friday.)
By the time the bill got back to the Senate, it was one of the last bills acted upon before the session ended at midnight. (In fact, a motion to change the bill's effective date to that July 1 was the final vote by the Senate before sine die.)
Sen. Brooks McCabe, D-Kanawha, said the main crux of the bill was to provide incentives to attract a methane cracker plant to the state.
He said the language in the House amendment was the same as an alternative fuel tax credit that had been available from 1997 to 2007, and had had minimal impact during that time, while the original bill originally limited the credit to natural gas vehicles.
"The bill I sponsored initially took them all out, but the House put in back in," McCabe said of language to include other alternative and flex-fuel vehicles.
In order to assure passage of the bill, and the cracker plant incentives it included, McCabe said he did not oppose the change, assuming it would not have a major financial impact.
What everybody discovered in retrospect, he said, is that flex-fuel vehicles -- which account for the vast majority of the $100 million in tax credits -- really started pouring onto the market in the late '00s.

Recipe by Raelee's recipes
"Creamy goat cheese is lightly dusted with pecans, honey, and rosemary. These are so delicious, light, and refreshing, they could be served as appetizers or an interesting dessert. They are always a hit! Spread them on your favorite crostini, bagel chips, or melba toasts."
Watch video tips and tricks
4 ounces fresh goat cheese
2 ounces finely chopped pecans
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, minced
Wonderful!! I will be making these often for guests. They were so easy to make. The flavors meld perfectly together. If you like goat cheese, you'll love this recipe. Definitely a keeper.
was not impressed. poor consistancy and not what I was looing for
42 Ratings
YUM! (and oh so easy)! Used almonds instead of pecans, and next time would make the patties a little smaller.
i liked this as an appetizer :) however, i also tried it as a meal. i boiled up some boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut them in half, put a few of these cheese balls (according to the recipe) inside the halves. then i stuck the chicken in a pan , whipped up some cream of mushroom soup, and when the cheese in the chicken was melted a bit, i served the chicken with some soup on top. My husband and i loved it! something about these appetizers made a perfect stuffing...and a quick meal too! only took about 45 minutes total to do everything, muti-tasking of course :)
I was struggling for some appetizer or dip idea for a party I was headed to, and stumbled upon this glorious little recipe. I followed the recipe instructions, but found myself having difficulty visualizing the little cheese balls just hanging out and being eaten at a bbq, so I basically dumped all of the cheese into the bowl and made one large cheese ball. IT WAS INCREDIBLE. I drizzled the rosemary honey on top (and reapplied throughout the evening as needed), and everybody was blown away. People were literally standing in awe in front of the bowl - that's how good it was. As far as pecans go, I somehow found these Emerald Nuts Pecan Pie glazed pecans, and I think the extra sweetness pushed this recipe over the edge from yummy to go away this bowl is mine get your own. EVERYBODY loved it. I've committed this to memory and will definitely be making it again, probably even better around the holidays.
excellent with sea salt crackers
These were amazing and so easy. I frequently don't try new recipes unless they already have hundreds of favorable reviews, but I was intrigued by this combination. They were super easy - I put them together minutes before our dinner guests arrived. So glad I did! I didn't get around to putting the rosemary on top and I still thought it earned 5 stars. I put 6 on a small serving plate and drizzled honey across the plate for a nice presentation. Great as an appetizer or an exotic, light dessert.
Just Wonderful....Served last night to guest and everyone and I mean everyone (including the men) ask for the recipe. This is a keeper. Thanks for sharing.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/09/2013 -- Health professionals around the world have recently featured Garcinia Cambogia on their research studies and revealed various health benefits of the product. According to one clinical study, published in 2000 in the "Journal of International Medical Research" 300 mg of Garcinia extract along with other nutrients was given to subjects followed by a group of obese men and women. After a period of 12 weeks, the group experienced a significant difference in weight loss with 85 per cent of the reduction due to fat loss.

More than 50% of the US population is facing obesity. Due to high consumption of fast food, lack of exercise, changing lifestyles, and unhealthy diet, it has affected a major portion of the population. Shedding weight now has been a major concern for most of the Americans. People always opt for natural weight loss solutions for speedy and safe weight reduction. Health experts also suggest natural supplements for their effective fat burning qualities without side effects. Natural extracts have long been featured as the most effective and safe methods for weight reduction.
Among a number of weight loss supplements, Garcinia cambogia is one of the latest breakthroughs in the weight loss market. Containing garcinia extract as the key ingredient, experts suggest that this extract supports weight loss by 3 times. The regular consumption will result in minimum 10 pounds per month without changing diet habits.
Garcinia Cambogia Select is a dual action fat buster that works on two levels by suppressing appetite and inhibiting new fat cells. The combination of garcinia extracts and other nutrients start to lose weight by speeding up the signal to the brain that the stomach is full which results in less food intake. Also by increasing the level of serotonin, it helps with emotional stress and helps create a better mood, better sleeping patterns and increase energy levels.

"We've got the shot of the Jeep," he says, waving his hands near the screen and making an accelerating car sound. "And then, okay, we'll pan up, and that's where we'll put the helicopter."
The helicopter chase scene is part of his newest movie, "Rising Fear," a project he's been working on since finishing his undergraduate work at the University of Pittsburgh in 2010. The 25-year-old has been making films since he was 14, and he knew he was on the right track when he sent out his last movie, "Emulation," a thriller, to a handful of big Hollywood producers and got a bite; an encouraging response from award-winning filmmaker Arnold Kopelson.
Kopelson produced the movies "Seven," "The Fugitve" and "Platoon," which picked up an Academy Award for Best Picture in 1986. The major motion picture producer called Getty and invited him to his Beverly Hills home.
He says, Tom, you have a big future in this business, Getty said. "It was exactly what you'd expect, big gates and everything. He sat down with me and we talked about developing a movie. I said, I want to make a big movie, a $20 million movie."
Sitting together, they tossed around ideas for an action film; some swift-moving plot with terrorists and explosions that had to be stymied and Getty returned ready to write a script.
Picking up a thick stack of papers, he showed his work, a final draft of the movie "Rising Fear," finished last September.
Though Kopelson ultimately passed on the script, Getty is determined to push forward on the movie. He's been shooting scenes since last November with the help of family and friends acting in the film.
Getty stars in the movie as Ryan Taylor, a discharged U.S. Marine who returns home to Pittsburgh and meets a pretty girl on a bus, only to discover that when he calls her, he detonates a bomb. His character becomes a suspect and, in a Jason Bourne type of twist, endures torture and interrogations by the FBI but manages to escape to try to track the real terrorists who threaten bigger and more deadly attacks, including a plot to kill the U.S. president.
The shooting is finished, so Getty is in that daunting phase where he has to artfully weave scenes together from hundreds of clips, adding sound here or there and special effects, such as the helicopter. When he's finished, he said, he'll the mail the movie out to producers again, in hopes that one of them will see its potential.
"I want to treat it as a script and pitch it to a big studio to make a hit out of it," he said.
Getty's office and equipment is set up at the Southmont home where he grew up. In addition to the big house with a big gate that comes with being a blockbuster producer, his dream is to have all the best equipment at his disposal so he can create the films he envisions.
"I want to be the next Michael Bay (who produced the special-effect laden "Transformers" films), the next Martin Scorsese."
Getty said he views the time he spent developing his latest idea, writing a script and shooting the film as part of a self-designed, at-home graduate program. He's spent the past two years either working on his movie or analyzing, scene by scene, films he admires to really learn what makes a moving movie.
The result is bag after bag of index cards, grouped by topic and film. Those index cards not only helped him organize and develop the "Rising Fear" script, but as it turns out, they also made a perfect basis for C4 bombs in the movie. The rectangular stacks just needed to be wrapped in the right paper and they made instant props. "I'm very self-directed," he said. "My parents were pushing me toward either a job or graduate school, and I decided I just want to stay here and focus on studying books and other movies."
"Rising Fear" is the ninth movie he's filmed since he was a young teen. The master copies of all his films he keeps in a safe, next to a wall covered in shelves of DVDs and a TV, turned on but muted. His library of self-shot projects include dramas, science fiction, thrillers, a vampire tale and even a biography of the author F. Scott Fitzgerald. Some of them have been featured at the Johnstown Film Festival and one of them, "The Movies," a film about a man who discovers he's able to relive the past by watching VHS tapes, won the festival's youth award.
"I love stories," he said. "Ever since I was a kid, any way I could get it done, I would do it. I had an old typewriter, no computer, and at 7 or 8 years old, I was punching the keys, writing stories."

Congressman John Tierney tried to put his wife's legal troubles behind him during a contentious television debate last night with Republican Bill Hudak.
Fox 25 news anchor Maria Stephanos began by asking Tierney about his wife, Patrice, who pleaded guilty Wednesday to four counts of aiding and abetting the filing of false federal tax returns. She admitted to managing a bank account for her brother, Robert Eremian, that contained $7 million of his illegal gambling profits.
"You live with your wife: How could this go on for so long, for so many years, and you didn't know a thing about it?" Stephanos said.
"This is the 21st century and what Patrice does with her family and family business is not something, as her husband, that I look over and monitor day to day," Tierney said. "I'm a little surprised at the question."
The Salem Democrat then attempted to shift the debate to Hudak, saying the lawyer from Boxford had views that were "way out of touch with the district."
But Stephanos returned the conversation to Tierney's wife, addressing the congressman's surprise.
"I think it is relevant here because I think that your constituents would like to know what it is that you knew about this," Stephanos said. "I live with my husband. He owns his own business. I know the clients that he has. I know the money that's coming into the household."
"Well that's interesting, Maria, because it wasn't a business that she was running. It was about (her brother's) children and the accounts of (his) household and things like that," Tierney said. "Maybe your household is different, but mine has gone into the 21st century and I respect my wife. We have a loving and caring relationship and I respect her, and I know that she is able to take care of those records."
From this opening exchange, the 10-minute debate devolved into a chaotic first encounter of the 6th District candidates in which they repeatedly talked over each other.
"With all due respect, this is all about you," Hudak said. "This isn't about your wife."
Tierney then interrupted, alleging that Hudak wanted to abolish the Department of Education and "get rid of financial reform."
"Let me call you a liar to your face," Hudak said.
Stephanos then had to intercede as the candidates simultaneously made rapid-fire claims about each other.
"Gentlemen, excuse me gentlemen," she said. "I think really you're doing your constituents a disservice here if you're both talking over each other."
"You encouraged it, Maria," Tierney said.
"I encouraged a healthy debate," Stephanos said. "I didn't ask you to talk over each other."
Asked about a 2008 lawn sign that showed then-candidate Barack Obama made to look like Osama bin Laden, Hudak said it was a parody.
"I regret that some people were offended that that was not a flattering portrait of the candidate," Hudak said.
Given a chance to make final remarks, Tierney said he would continue "to fight for the middle class."
"I'm a small-business owner," Hudak said. "I understand what it takes to truly create jobs."
Tierney and Hudak were not in the same studio for last night's debate. The candidates are scheduled to meet next on Oct. 14 — this time, face to face — when The Salem News will host a debate at the former Memorial Middle School in Beverly.
