Gulf of Mexico Seafood Safety Estimates by FDA Flawed
The Sea Turtle Restoration Project of the Turtle Island Restoration Network is signed-on to a coalition with other concerned non-profit organizations in calling on the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to improve its flawed seafood safety calculations which may be putting Gulf of Mexico residents consuming their average amount of seafood at risk. Click here to download the coalition letter to the FDA.
Contamination of Gulf seafood has been a concern in the wake of the horrific BP oil spill this summer in the Gulf of Mexico. Federal agencies moved rapidly to re-open fishing grounds weeks after the areas were dotted with oil slicks. Shrimp trawlers, which have killed over 100 sea turtles during the summer disaster, were found guilty of trawling in areas closed during the oil spill. An excellent summary of concerns was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Download and read the commentary published in the Journal of the American Medical Association "Health Effects of the Gulf Oil Spill."
Recently, more evidence on the flawed risk assessment calculations performed by the FDA has made news headlines, see below for the full story.
Groups skeptical of federal seafood-safety testing 12/17/2010, Amanda Peterka, E&E reporter Environmental groups are stressing the need for more independent data on the safety of Gulf Coast seafood after a study released last week found flaws in the federal methods for determining the region's seafood consumption levels. Several Gulf groups are conducting their own testing of seafood from regions hit by the oil spill, saying that they do not trust the data federal agencies have used in declaring areas safe for fishing.
Groups also say the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration moved too hastily to open up fishing areas, pointing to the recent reclosing of 4,213 square miles of an 8,403-square-mile royal red shrimp fishing area after a fisherman caught tarballs in his shrimp trawler. "The rush to say that seafood is safe is premature and hurts the brand more than if we all just waited a little bit and gave the science the time to tell us what's really happening out there," said Casey DeMoss Roberts, assistant director of science and water policy at the Gulf Restoration Network. In the study released last week, the Natural Resources Defense Council found that FDA underestimated the amount of seafood that the typical Gulf Coast resident consumes. That information was used in calculations for safe levels of contamination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in seafood, chemicals that remain from the BP PLC oil spill. FDA, according to the study, based its estimates of consumption on national data and used the average American male adult weighing 175 pounds as its basis for its calculations. It assumed that a Gulf resident eats seafood about twice a week and shrimp once a week. One serving of shrimp, according to the FDA, consists of about four jumbo shrimp. The Natural Resources Defense Council surveyed 547 Gulf Coast residents on their seafood eating habits and found that their consumption rates were from 3.6 to 12.1 times higher than FDA estimates. The survey also found that Vietnamese-Americans had especially high seafood consumption rates in fish, shrimp, oyster and crab. "Four shrimp a week is not even an appetizer for some folks around here," said Marylee Orr, executive director of the Louisiana Environmental Action Network. Roberts said the NRDC's results were not surprising. "As soon as we saw the consumption rates FDA had determined, it was laughable. They didn't even pass the straight-face test," she said. The NRDC and more than 30 environmental and public interest groups sent a letter last week to FDA complaining of the discrepancy in consumption rates. "We've been requesting that they adapt their standards for months and months and months now. This letter isn't the first time they've heard an outcry from people," said Peter Brabeck, environmental monitor for the Louisiana Bucket Brigade. FDA defended its use of national data on seafood consumption. "FDA is not aware of any published data upon which we can rely for seafood consumption figures other than what we used," said Sebastian Cianci, a spokesman for FDA, in an e-mail to Greenwire. He said the agency is reviewing the NRDC study to see if it is a suitable source of consumption data Beyond seafood consumption rates, Gulf environmental groups say FDA's testing and monitoring methods are inadequate and rely on too few samples. When NOAA opened up 5,130 square miles of Gulf waters for fishing in September, it based the opening on sensory tests of 123 samples and chemical analyses of 183 specimens composited into 27 samples. Since it is difficult to statistically represent the entire Gulf of Mexico, FDA "adopted a sampling strategy that gave us great confidence that the samples collected were adequately representative of the worst-case scenario for oil spill and dispersant residues," Cianci said. Independent testing FDA and NOAA continue to monitor the Gulf, and Cianci said they have not found merit in any reports of tainted seafood. But many environmental groups are carrying out their own sampling and gathering results from independent labs, citing stories of fishermen finding tarballs in fishing nets.
Lower Mississippi Riverkeeper Paul Orr, working with technical adviser and chemist Wilma Subra and the Louisiana Environmental Action Network, has collected samples from the west edge of the oil spill's damage all the way to the Louisiana-Mississippi border. On Monday, Orr released data on oysters, blue crab, mussels, shrimp and other seafood showing levels of PAHs and petroleum hydrocarbons. He has not compared the data to any standards of safe levels because he said just finding any standards on total petroleum hydrocarbons has proved difficult. According to Subra, FDA has no established level of concern for total petroleum hydrocarbons. "I don't think we've really had to deal with having very much petroleum contamination in seafood before," Orr said. "I don't think [FDA was] prepared for dealing with something like this. I don't think many of us were prepared for something like this." Orr said the seafood looked "perfect" when collected. Because of this, environmental groups say they want federal agencies to abandon the practice of performing a sensory test, or what Brabeck calls a "sniff test," as a first step to test for contamination. "It's crazy to me that that's actually considered the legitimate form of testing," Brabeck said. A panel of NOAA experts observes and sniffs the seafood samples sent in from states, and if the samples pass the test, they are sent off to an FDA lab for chemical analyses of composite tissue samples. If the samples pass those chemical tests, the area from which they came can be reopened for fishing. The Louisiana Bucket Brigade has taken a different strategy with its sampling. Started 10 years ago to test pollution from refineries, the brigade is now handing out sampling kits to residents to test seafood, air and water. Residents collect samples, wrap them in foil or put them in a nonreactive container, and ship them off in bags to a certified lab. The Bucket Brigade then interprets the data for residents. "It's trying to get the community ... to sample what they think needs to be sampled," Brabeck said, adding that it also gives a voice to the communities that have been affected by the spill.
The local knowledge is key, Brabeck said. "These people have been there for generations, a lot of these people six generations of fishing," he said. "These guys, they know what their environment looks like. They know what their water looks like before and after the spill."

Chicago school budget vote put off while teacher talks go on
By Lauren FitzPatrick Staff Reporter email@example.com July 23, 2012 11:36AM
Updated: August 25, 2012 6:08AM
The Chicago school board has put off a vote set for Wednesday on next year's proposed budget until it reaches an agreement on its teachers' contract, a spokeswoman said Monday. "We are going to wait until August to allow for contract negotiations to continue because our budget outcomes will have to reflect those decisions," schools spokeswoman Becky Carroll said. Jackson Potter of the Chicago Teachers Union called the delay a good-faith effort by the district in ongoing negotiations. "It's common sense as far as I'm concerned," he said. "This is an opportunity to stand away from the precipice and talk about what are the ways in which we can get our schools back on track by investing in them." The school board and the CTU both rejected recommendations made by a fact finder last week that included double-digit raises for teachers but contained no provisions for job security. The district is trying to close a $665 million deficit and an estimated $1 billion deficit a year from now, and school officials say they can't afford the $330 million in raises recommended by the fact finder. Chicago Public Schools had offered four years of two percent raises. The union sought 29 percent in raises to do the 20 percent more work next year under Mayor Rahm Emanuel's signature plan to lengthen the school day and year. Union delegates said they want more job security, fearing the district's growing use of "turnarounds" and school closings that displace good teachers through no fault of their own. A record 90 percent of CTU members have authorized a strike if no deal on a contract is reached.

Hooktheory I
The Building Blocks of Music
Many things in this world couldn't exist without an important fundamental building block. For living organisms, it is the cell; for skyscrapers, it is the steel I-beam; for modern electronics, it is the transistor. For popular music, it is a set of seven notes called the major scale.
The major scale is just a group of notes that follow a special pattern - one that humans happen to really love. In fact, we love these notes so much that the vast majority of the songs you hear on the radio are built using just these seven notes played in a unique sequence. Doesn't that seem remarkable?
One set of these notes corresponds to the white keys on the piano. To hear them, click the play button.
Before you criticize this particular ordering of notes as uninteresting and not very musical, know that listening to them in this order is the equivalent of looking at an I-beam sitting on a construction site. However, when re-ordered, these seven notes can create almost every song you know and love. In other words, the white keys of the piano are all you need. Let's listen to a few:
- "Over The Rainbow" from the motion picture The Wizard of Oz (1939)
- "Basketcase" by Green Day (1994)
- "A Whole New World" from the motion picture Aladdin (1992)
- "Hey Jude" by The Beatles (1968)
- "Blowin' In The Wind" by Bob Dylan (1963)
- "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga (2009)
To be clear, there is nothing special about these specific songs that makes this possible; they were chosen simply because they are iconic and recognizable.
The many major scales
The first note in the scale we just showed you happened to be C, but a major scale can actually be played starting from any note on the piano. Other major scales make use of the black keys, but they all sound basically the same, and any one of them can play all the songs you just heard.
The fact that a major scale can start on any note is the reason songs are said to be written in a "key" like C or F or G - the key indicates the starting note of the scale that the song uses. For example, every song in the medley you just heard used the notes from the C major scale (since the starting note of the scale was C), so they are said to be played in the key of C. The original recordings of these songs don't all use this particular major scale, but I bet you couldn't tell and didn't care; you still heard each song just as you remembered it.
The fact that a major scale can start on any note is convenient for singers because it allows them to sing songs in the key that is most comfortable for their vocal range, but it makes trying to understand music a real mess. Consider two frequently used major scales: C Major and D Major:
C Major Scale
D Major Scale
Notice that the note D shows up in both scales. The note D, however, is in a different position in each scale: it's the 2nd note in the C major scale and the 1st note in the D major scale.
This is important because the way a note is used in a song is determined by its position in the scale rather than its letter name. D plays a completely different role in a song written in C major than a song written in D major.
Trying to understand a song by looking at just the names of the notes it contains isn't very useful because it ignores this fundamental fact. Fortunately, there is a simple solution that makes understanding the structure of a melody and comparing different songs very straightforward.
Relative Notation
So far we've basically told you only 2 things:
1. the lettered names of the notes contained in a song are of no help for understanding what is going on unless they are considered in the context of the major scale that a song is using.
2. the particular scale that a song happens to use doesn't matter. Most songs can be played entirely with the white keys of the piano (the C major scale), but they wouldn't sound much different if they were played in some other scale that makes use of a different set of notes.
For these reasons, it's easier and more intuitive to understand music by referring to notes in a song by their position in their scale (1-7) rather than their actual letter names (C, D, E, ..., for example). To introduce you to this notation, often called relative notation, consider the two major scales you saw before but now marked up with numbered labels and colors to emphasize each note's position in the major scale.
C Major Scale
D Major Scale
When notes are referred to by their position in a scale, they are referred to as scale degrees. The note D, for example, is scale degree 2 of the C major scale since it is the second note of the C major scale, but it's scale degree 1 of the D major scale.
One of the most useful things about relative notation is that it enables songs that use scales with different starting notes to be compared side-by-side. For instance, one can compare a sequence of scale degrees rather than two different sets of lettered notes.
Visualizing music relatively
Since relative notation makes it easier to learn music, we created a simple way to display music in relative notation. The next example shows the C major scale displayed in relative notation on a staff. Each colored rectangle corresponds to a note. The vertical position indicates its scale degree (1, 2, 3, etc.) instead of its note name (C, D, E, etc). Color is used as an additional visual indicator of each scale degree. Red, for example, is always scale degree 1 regardless of the scale a song is using. Green corresponds to scale degree 4. The length of each note indicates its duration. When you click play, you will hear the scale degrees of the C major scale:
The next movie shows the G major scale on the relative staff. Notice that even though the C major scale and the G major scale are different on the piano, they look identical on the relative staff since both use the exact same scale degrees as they play (1-2-3-4-5-6-7-1).
In the previous examples, the 4th scale degree of the C major scale happens to be F. In the G major scale, it happens to be a C. In the relative system, however, both notes are represented by a green scale degree 4 to emphasize their sameness.
Real songs in relative notation
A major scale is very simple, and you might be asking how this works with actual songs. Since most songs only use notes from the major scale, they can be represented very naturally with relative notation regardless of the key they are written in. Below is the melody from the chorus of "Living On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi visualized with the relative staff.
What uniquely identifies the melody of a song?
Thinking about melodies as numbers representing positions in a scale makes it much easier to compare different melodies at a glance. It also makes it easier to analyze and understand melodies because the position of the note in the scale is what determines function rather than the actual note name itself.
The melody from "Living On A Prayer" uses scale degrees 1-1-1-7-6-5-3-4-4-... in succession. If the song happened to use the C major scale, these scale degrees would correspond to the notes C-C-C-B-A-G-E-F-F, but it could just as well have been written in G major where these scale degrees would correspond to entirely different notes (G-G-G-F#-E-D-B-C-C).
When we study the melodies and chords of different songs to look for patterns, we want to compare apples to apples, so the note names just won't do.

Over the past two decades I've been lucky to have a career that was half in the academic world and half in the public policy world. I spent the first eight years of my career as a regular faculty member in an economics department (University of Delaware). I spent the next 20 years as director of academic research centers (at Purdue University, Georgetown University, and George Washington University) that focused on public policy affecting retail financial services, especially with respect to companies that provide consumers with credit cards, auto loans, mortgage loans and a host of other credit products. Research is always interesting, but doing research on issues that directly impact people's lives, and under the hot lens of public policy scrutiny in Washington D.C., is exciting.
Since joining the faculty of the Norton School in December 2007, I've directed the Take Charge America Institute (TCAI) for consumer financial education and research. I'm still working on financial services issues, but this time by helping to build financial literacy and capability especially among America's youth. Consumers today face a tremendous array of financial products and choices. Perils await those who make uninformed choices when it comes to borrowing, spending, saving and investing. I'm delighted to be a part of the University's effort to build financial education programs that are now being used by tens of thousands of teachers across the country.
When I'm not having fun in the classroom or at the Institute, I hike, golf, lap swim (I was a competitive swimmer and a scholarship student-athlete through college) and do all the other outdoor activities you can do year-round in Southern Arizona. My wife and I live in Oro Valley, where we also enjoy spectacular sunsets and the moon rising over the Catalinas.
- Consumer financial decisions
- Economics of retail financial services markets
- Financial and economic education
I've designed projects on a wide range of policy-oriented issues involving the economics of consumer credit markets. Topics have included the causes and consequences of personal bankruptcy and mortgage foreclosures; the role of credit bureau data, credit scoring and risk management tools in expanding access to consumer loans in the U.S. and globally; and the pros and cons of improved loan disclosures and regulatory limits on loan products in helping consumers to make good credit choices.
I've also conducted projects for the National Retail Federation and other national associations on issues such as credit card usage patterns and the impact of privacy regulations on the products and customer service offered by retail financial services firms.
I'm particularly proud of a series of projects sponsored by American Express and the Consumer Federation of America that demonstrate the rehabilitative effects of credit counseling on long-term borrower behavior. I am also proud of our efforts to create pilot demonstration projects here at the University of Arizona that pair financial education with financial products (e.g., savings programs; student loans) to encourage and support completion of higher education degrees.
- "Arizona Earn to Learn," a matched savings IDA project sponsored through $1.5 million of federal grants to pair a savings program with financial education. The program is designed to encourage students from low-income families to aspire to attend the University of Arizona and complete a degree.
- Accuracy of Credit Bureau Information. I am working on a series of papers stemming from work completed in 2012 for the Federal Trade Commission to measure error rates in U.S. credit reports and gauge their impact on consumer credit scores and credit-related opportunities.
- Principal Investigator, Take Charge Today project. Funded by a multi-year grant from Take Charge America, Inc., this project partners with thousands of high school and middle school teachers across the U.S. to provide them with financial education curriculum (free of charge), including detailed lesson plans, active learning tools, online resources for use in the classroom and professional development programs.

Longest WA road climb?Hi all, I am about to ramp up my training for the Scody High Country Challenge in March.
During the ride I will need to be able to ascend Mt Buller (16.8km at 5.9%). I have done a few of the shorter Victorian climbs but never a Cat 1. Question; Whats the longest road climb in WA with a minimum grade ave of 4%? I know of a few around the 6km mark but do we have a 10km or more climb hidden somewhere? cheers Sambo

Armadale Rd Mills Rd East not 10km but nasty Masi Speciale CX 2008 - Brooks B17 special saddle, Garmin Edge 810
Re: Longest WA road climb?Yeah its nasty, I found Haddrill/Wier Rd worse, even though its shorter.
Hoping to find some sort of connecting sustained climb rather than short and nasty. How long and what grade is Nettleton rd? Is thier a long climb around the Stirling Ranges area or anywhere down south? Cheers Sambo
Re: Longest WA road climb?Just do 6 repeats of Mills Rd East.
That equals roughly 18km and will get you strong. www.logancalder.com

Re: Longest WA road climb?Nettleton road is nasty initially.
Kicks 3 times before settling down Problem with the stuff over here is that we have rollers. Once we get up an initial climb it will then start to go up and down repeating many times. Get the right conditions and you will not get a rest at all so may infact be harder than over east. Just factor in a headwind slowing you downhill so you have to still pedal all the time and no chance for a rest. Masi Speciale CX 2008 - Brooks B17 special saddle, Garmin Edge 810
Re: Longest WA road climb?suggest seeking out the Walnut Rd > Patterson Rd (Pickering Brook) (starts from Aldersyde Road/Walnut intersection)
it's not the longest climb, but it's a decent challenge with a varied gradient, including quite a steep bit at the start which puts you into difficulty and will help you develop your ability to pace yourself and develop a good rhythm.
Re: Longest WA road climb?+1 for Mills Road East. Maybe try riding up with a backpack full of bricks.
Edit: or 50 reps of Mount St. 2011 Bianchi Via Nirone Veloce

Re: Longest WA road climb?
I will give this a run, my main concern is to not have the sag wagon chase me all the way up Buller. I'm under no illusion of setting any speed records just want to push it as hard as I can without blowing up and out. At the present I have been doing one descent climb a week and tying it in with an 80-120km ride with the climb basically halfway. My other rides during the week are mostly along the coastal dunes (Hale rd, Ewan st etc). Will slowly amp it up over the next few months and add in more hill repeats. Cheers Sambo
Re: Longest WA road climb?
funny you should say that, i did a fair amount of cycling in the pyrenees and alps this year and did most of my training for it in King's Park on mount street and forrest drive (on weekdays, with trips out to mundaring on the weekend), we were doing 10-12 mount streets in a row and then some forrest drives. it certainly did the trick, i rode some massive climbs in europe [tourmalet, galibier, alpe d'huez, port de bales, madeleine, glandon etc etc] on the back of that. and there was nothing i came across as steep as mount street, which i'm sure is why you get such good value from it. obviously it's a bit boring going up and down up and down up and down, but if you work in the city and commute to work, it's something you can quite easily do every day.
Re: Longest WA road climb?
Hey Roller how many k's were you doing a week whilst preparing for you trip? Did you feel the short repeats would be enough on thier own or did you also have good base km under your belt? cheers Sambo
Re: Longest WA road climb?
i'd say i had a good base, was doing say 170+kms mon-fri (to/from work - including mount streets/forrest drives) plus longer rides on the weekend, say 70-150 on the weekends. so on average 250-300+km a week. how long is the ride you're doing?
Re: Longest WA road climb?found it! cool!
looks intimidating, but really, how hard can it be? http://www.cyclingprofiles.com.au/HTM/R ... 013-1b.htm
Re: Longest WA road climb?i'd say i had a good base, was doing say 170+kms mon-fri (to/from work - including mount streets/forrest drives) plus longer rides on the weekend, say 70-150 on the weekends.
so on average 250-300+km a week. [/quote] I'm on 250km a week for the past three months but did limited riding over autumn early winter so am making it up now. I am doing one bigger ride a week of around 100km give or take and may add a second through Jan/Feb. During the week I fit in three rides around 40-60km mark. cheers Sambo
Re: Longest WA road climb?
Looks easier than the profile for this Make sure you show elevation profile and that is a WA ride Masi Speciale CX 2008 - Brooks B17 special saddle, Garmin Edge 810
Re: Longest WA road climb?Had a quick look on Strava, maybe try this one! There's a lot of dodgy segments it seems. http://app.strava.com/segments/611494

Re: Longest WA road climb?
I'm not so sure, different sort of rides. The scale of the 6 dams profile makes it look dramatic and I am sure its a difficult ride. However if you study it closely there is nothiing over 350m. Overlay that of the Buller profile and suddenly our climbs look small, just like the smaller ones in the Buller profile. I think it would come down to how well one could manage the Buller ascent and then finish of the rest of the smaller climbs compared with a greater number of smaller climbs in the 6 dams. Sustained effort v shorter repeated effort. It's bit of a moot point anyway for me as I would struggle with them both at present. cheers Sambo
Re: Longest WA road climb?
Wow! 41% ,OK 20 repeats up the Elavator. Cheers Sambo
Re: Longest WA road climb?
I call bollocks on that one... Look at the gradient lines and then look at the vertical scale Yeah right 800m we are hard pressed to get 450m over here. The gradient lines are giving from 140m to 220m Someone has set that up and stopped and pressure has increased giving a false elevation profile Masi Speciale CX 2008 - Brooks B17 special saddle, Garmin Edge 810
Re: Longest WA road climb?
Considering the highest point is 750m above sea level I agree, good way to give yourself some crazy VAM numbers though. I doubt its ability to help Sambo climb Mount Bulla. 2011 Bianchi Via Nirone Veloce

Re: Longest WA road climb?you'll also need to be on a mountain bike to tackle the elevator!
Re: Longest WA road climb?This is one tough ride
http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Th ... Gooseberry 6 hours total time (not bike time) would be a good target on a nice warm summers day
Re: Longest WA road climb?Just a nice ride that gets you going up and over and back of The Observatory then up Lawnbrook and finish it off with Hummerston Rd should do.
Check out flyingporkpies on bikely and I think it's called "The Redbull Challenge". Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass
Re: Longest WA road climb?Thanks Redbull, I will link most of that ride in the next time I climb Brookton hwy and head across Canning rd and combine it.
Should make for a good long ride. cheers Sambo
Re: Longest WA road climb?
Beat me to it.
Re: Longest WA road climb?Welshpool Rd is a lot more difficult than Nettleton Rd imo... a lot less safer also
