Full Description & DetailsIn 1964 my brother, father, sister-in-law, nephew and 2 next door neighbours were outside watching this bright white light in the Norhtern sky. It sat there then changed colours when 3 other white lights flew out of it, each flying off in different directions. It started moving towards us. It was a very starry night sky and as this "machine" went overhead it made a sound I can repete to this day (like a low vibrating electric motor). It was huge, massive at least 5 football fields long and wide. It looked to by cylindrycal. It blanked out all the stars-- just one solid black mass. As the end of it reached our yard, whoosh (and I mean whoosh) it was gone.
Other CommentsMy son had an interesting experience when he was 18. A dream he calls it, but everything points to an abduction. My daughter too -- she came to me one day with a drawing of a stick-man. This stick-man had big eyes, pointed chind and she made his body like a rectangle but with long skinny arms and legs. She said its name was Victory. Seems my family are experiencers, especially myself and my son. My son told his story to Whitley Streiber but didn't really get much of a feedback. I know there were moments throughout his life when he has been very frightened. He is now 33 years old - my daughter is 24 Reported Sighting?NoYour Location:Sarnia, Ontario, CanadaAge:52 |
Full Description & Detailsi was in my car, with the roof off. I glanced up at the stars, after seeing 3 lights in the shape of a triangle, i didn't think anything of them and continued to concentrate on the road. After 20 seconds I glanced up again, and saw the three lights. Initially I thought they were street lights, but during the second glance I noticed that the lights weren't passing me like street lights. I then noticed that the lights were constantly in view. Either they were hovering or high enough to look like it was hovering. Since I was driving, i had to keep looking down at the road. On the 4th or 5th glance up, the lights were gone. Witness BackgroundCivil Engineer BSCE Other CommentsOver the years, I have followed UFO theories and articles. It has sort of become a hobby for me. I have noticed that as the years pass, more and more theories are presented. Some of these theories seem far fetched, while others seem very pausible. I am predicting over the next 50 years, the spectrum of explanations will become larger, making it more and more difficult for people to beleive in the possibility of UFO's. Someone needs to change the image of this subject, and make it a real science, before this whole thing becomes a fable like old stories of gods and goddesses.

Full Description & Details2 Friends and i were driving home from a 7 day stay at a resort in oregon. We were driving north bound on the highway. Heading towards Washington State. When The driver and i noticed 2 Extremly bright lights from a distance. I pointed it out to my friend in the back seat. We started to discuss what it could be. The driver suggested 2 cruise missles of some sort. The lights appeared to be hovering up and down and a steady rate going the opposite way down on the north bound highway. Almost as if observing us in vehicles, poosible taking scans of some sort. As we got closer we noticed the lights were comeing from 2 ufo's going south in the north bound lane. There was other traffic on the highway at the time, so im sure there were other witnesses other then ourselves. Even the car infront of us stop abruplty. I also noticed a semi truck pulled over to the left side of the highway going northbound. The driver of our vehicle slowed down alot so i stuck my head out the window while the car was in motion so i got a good look at the crafts. The vessicles were about 20 feet from the concrete of the highway. There was an extremly bright light in the front of the vessicle, then what appeared to be contrete with 3 columns of hieroglyphical writing. With another brighlight at the end of the vessicle. We got off the highway about 2 exits up and went into a church parking lot that was write off the freeway to smoke a ciggerate and talk about what we seen before we left the area. When we noticed a 3rd craft going east passing over the highway. This vessicle was triangle shaped, dark green with red and yellow tubing that was intergrated into the bottom of the vesslicle. Possibly some type of piping with fuel being fed to the engines. This triangle shaped ship was moving a bit faster and was noiser then the other 2 seen previously. After the triangle shaped vessicle passed over us and was no longer in sight we got back in the car about 5 mintues later and left. As we approached the onrap to continue driving home to washington we noticed a army truck with 2 soldiers standing on the side of the onrap looking up at the sky ignoring any other distractions. Diddnt even look at us as we drove by. We were gonna stop and ask what they were looking at but then we changed our minds and got on the highway and went home. Were these 3 vessicles some type of new secret military aircrafts or did the army respond to ufo's intrusion into our airspace. We might never know. But i enjoyed the once in a life time experince if they were extraterrestrials from a advanced race outside of our solar system. Witness BackgroundHigh school graduate, attending univeristy at this time. Other CommentsI will be making a 3d replica of these ships as well. When im complete if yud like ill mail it to u.

Full Description & Detailswe saw a green streak flash across the sky at an impossible speed, grow larger, and then come to a stop; it was a large tier shaped vehicle, glowing a luminous pale green. We thought we had watched it for ten minutes, but when we returned home we discovered an hour had elapsed. I called the local newspaper, and the exasperated operator who answered said she had received over 100 calls about the sighting; there was NOTHING about it in the newspaper the next day! the intersting thing is that I believe I called it down telepathically; a minute before the sighting I had leaned out the car window, looked up at the sky and said "I know you're up there." Witness BackgroundI am a college educated, stable, responsible person who works as a professional musician. Other CommentsI believe there is overwhelming evidence to support the fact that we are not alone in the universe, and that we are visited regularly by other life forms in flying machines; I have many responsible friends who have had sightings as well, and I personally know three people (one a well-known author) who have been abducted by extra-terrestrials.

Full Description & Detailsdriving in my car with my daughter. Saw a v-shaped lighted object(s), I thought it was a flock of geese reflecting light, although we were in the country so there were no ground lights to reflect. I stopped and got out of the car to see if I could hear geese cause that is what I thought it was. There was no sound at all, no engine sound of a plane or anything, the object just drifted across the field and was gone. My daughter still talks about it. Other CommentsI'm sure they must exist. Too many people have seen them, I wonder if there is a cover-up by the government, or else they are just as clueless as the rest of us, and therefore are not offering any explaination.

Mozart. That was easy.
Which composer would you recommend as an introduction to classical music? Explain your reasons for your choice.
J. S. Bach, but more importantly I'd get the classiccal virgin along to a large scale performance of something huge like Mahler's 8th<?SUP> with decent orchestra, conductor and decent acoustics. The reality of the dynamic range and tonal richness of such an experience may not instantly convert the innocent but it could acquaint them with the (sad?) truth that no high-end system has ever reproduced such sounds realistically.
Modest Mussorgsky as he is, IMHO, the most accessible and understandable Classical composer by non-classical music listeners. I would start with Rimsky-Korsakov's orchestration of his Night On Bald Mountain followed by Ravel's orchestration of his Pictures At An Exhibition. These works are great enough to get anyone hooked on classical music.
Well, the first thing to do would be to explain to your friend that "classical music" isn't some arcane, unapproachable art form that you need to study before you can appreciate it. Rather, this music has survived for hundreds of year and continues to thrive today because people love it. Take your friend to a symphony concert and suggest that she listen to the local classical FM station. In other words, stop reading and start listening, and you'll quickly find composers that you like.
Georg Frederic Handel, hands down. Handel's is just such "ear-friendly" music. Melodic, happy, accessible. Almost any of his music is something that someone with minimal classical music experience can listen to and immediately "get", whether it's the concerti grossi, the organ concerti, or basically any of his operas or oratorios. It's just fun stuff doggone it! Mozart is the prototypical "intro to classical" composer and all well and good but can't beat Handel for just a simple, friendly slap-you-on-the-back "hey friend, welcome to the party" intro to "classical" music.
It may seem to be a rather dull choice by some, but I think Mozart (W.A.) is the absolute best choice for a couple of reasons. First, Mozart's music is everywhere—it's in movies, plays, operas (obviously), and has been resurrected through pop culture during the last century many times. One example is the "electrified" clarinet concerto used in the the film American Gigolo about 1980. It's easy to show the classical newbie that Mozart's contribution was huge and survives still in today's world. Second, Mozart's music is so even-tempered and balanced that it's fairly easy to digest (I can feel eyebrows raising and expletives escaping from lips as I write this). It is the very definition of the classical period. Because of this, I feel it's highly accessible to the new classical listener.
When faced with this question, I always ask the person what musical instrument they like the best. Depending on the answer, I will recommend a piece that highlights that instrument. Chopin or Beethoven for piano, Mozart for the human voice, Tchaikovsky for violin, and Sor or Giuliani for guitar.

NEW YORK — New York Daily News reported that a New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) paratransit coordinator went beyond the call of duty to act as Daniel Robert and Nadina Laspina's chauffeur on their wedding day. Donna Fredericksen, the coordinator, worked with the city Clerk's Office, the mayor's Office for People with Disabilities, and Maggies Paratransit, an MTA contractor, to ensure the plans went smoothly, and that the couple got VIP treatment. The couple took an Access-A-Ride van from their home to the Municipal Building downtown to exchange wedding vows and then rode it back home in celebration, joined by a few friends. To recognize her efforts, the paper honored Fredericksen with a "Hometown Heroes in Transit" award. For the full story, click here.

Preparation Montage
Let that be a lesson to you, everyone. When you're pouring the test tube solution, you've still got time to reconsider, but there's no going back after the snowman.
Boy oh boy! No sooner am I back from one show than it's time to start thinking about the next -- the
Toronto Comics Art Festival
, which arrives in only ten days! I haven't been to Toronto since I went to the
con a billion years ago, so it'll be nice to see the big city again. (Not to mention all the
insanely talented people
who'll be exhibiting there!)

Return from the Con
Man, how great was the
Calgary Expo
? I am so glad
convinced me to make the relatively hasty, last minute decision to attend -- because otherwise, I would have missed out on a one of my new favourite shows. Thanks to everyone who came by the booth to say hello and/or partake in our humble cartoon wares. I look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Calgary Comic Expo
Oh my goodness, the
Calgary Comic Expo
is only a day away! Attendees can find me at booth #601, which is a part of an entire island of webcomic exhibitors. I am bringing a truly ridiculous quantity of shirts, books and original art, and as always, I'll be doing free sketches and slightly-less-free polished drawings. I'll even have a few of the precious
"Bat Fuzzy" limited prints
that I saved for the show! So come visit.
Good times will be had!

Q & A: Belated Monday Edition
Got a question you want answered? Just drop me an
with "Q & A" in the subject line!
"I'm a long time Sam and Fuzzy fan, and I've always wondered how you go about uploading comics to the site? Do you have a page template that you place each new comic into, then upload that as a new page to the site? Or is there a magical mysterious method that mortals cannot comprehend?"
Most webcomics folks use some sort of management script that automatically generates their archive and comic pages for them. I use a slightly modified version of a php-based system my friend Ashton coded, called
. Once you have it set up -- a job that admittedly requires either fair degree of coding knowledge or a willingness to learn -- you can just plug your comics and newsposts into a simple
visual interface
and let the script take care of the rest.
Another archive script a number of people use
, a system that rejiggers the Wordpress blogging system into a webcomic archive tool. But there are a lot of different archive scripts out there! And trust me... all of them are good alternatives to the madness that is manually plugging each comic into a page template. I used to do that myself back in year one, and...
. Thank God for Ashton!
"While I was reading the earlier comics, I saw the lyrics to the song
I Will Eat Your Family
by Noosehead. I then came up with a guitar line for the song. Would it be possible to finish the lyrics to that song please? You only had a few lines before. Stereotypical metal songs are fun to play."
You know, back in the day, I actually wrote out a whole two minute song to go with those lyrics myself! I threw together a guitar riff part that Jeph was going to record for me, but he never really had time to learn it and we kind of abandoned the idea.
But believe it or not, those few words -- which you can find in the newspost way back
-- filled the pretty much the entire thing.
Anyhow, I heartily encourage you to craft your own song out of them, but trust me... those are all the lyrics you need. I think you underestimate how much time can be filled with incoherent screaming!
"I was just looking at the "Bat Fuzzy" print again, and it occurred to me: You've got Two-Face as a blankface ninja. But he's half white and half black! So we don't know which one! Is he Mr Blank or Mr Black?! I must know!"
The answer is simple, my friend! Clearly, in the Bat Fuzzy universe, Two-Face is both Mr. Blank
Mr. Black. It's like Fight Club, only with ninjas. (Which, upon consideration, would have been pretty awesome.)

Summary: 52-year-old male with hematuria
Urachal carcinoma
Three axial noncontrasted-computed tomography (CT) images demonstrate an elongated cystic structure arising from the dome of the bladder and extending superiorly towards the midline abdominal wall. A soft-tissue mass with stippled calcifications arises from the base of the cystic structure and invades the dome of the bladder.
The urachus, or median umbilical ligament, is a remnant of the allantois, which extends from the dome of the bladder to the umbilicus. There is a spectrum of abnormalities, which arise from incomplete obliteration of the channel. A patent urachus is due to failure of the entire urachal channel to close, while a urachal diverticulum and a urachal sinus are due to incomplete closure of one end of the urachal channel. The urachal diverticulum maintains an open connection to the bladder while the urachal sinus communicates with the umbilicus. Lastly, a urachal cyst arises secondary to closure of the both the umbilical and bladder connections with incomplete obliteration of the midportion of the urachus.
Urachal carcinoma may arise within a urachal remnant and tends to present with hematuria and/or mucoid discharge. Of all cancers of the urachus, 85% to 90% of cases are adenocarcinomas. It tends to occur between the ages of 40 and 70, and is 3 times more common in males.
Urachal carcinoma is usually first detected by CT, which demonstrates a mass centered outside of the dome of the bladder, usually within the midline and in the presence of a urachal remnant. Approximately 70% of cases contain calcifications, an uncommon feature for transitional cell carcinoma. Contrast enhancement is generally heterogeneous.
Treatment consists of partial or total cystectomy with complete resection of the urachus up to the umbilicus. However, due to late presentation, the prognosis is poor with a 5-year survival of <15%.

Abstract: Long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFAs) are recommended for management of patients with wide-ranging chronic diseases, including coronary heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, dementia, and depression. Increased consumption of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is recommended by many health authorities to prevent (up to 0.5 g/day) or treat chronic disease (1.0 g/day for coronary heart disease; 1.2–4 g/day for elevated triglyceride levels). Recommendations for dietary intake of LC n-3 PUFAs are often provided for α-linolenic acid, and for the combination of EPA and DHA. However, many studies have also reported differential effects of EPA, DHA and their metabolites in the clinic and at the laboratory bench. The aim of this article is to review studies that have identified divergent responses to EPA and DHA, and to explore reasons for these differences. In particular, we review potential contributing factors such as differential membrane incorporation, modulation of gene expression, activation of signaling pathways and metabolite formation. We suggest that there may be future opportunity to refine recommendations for intake of individual LC n-3 PUFAs.
Keywords: LC n-3 PUFAs; omega-3 fatty acids; eicosapentaenoic acid; docosahexaenoic acid; resolvin D1; differential response; omega-3 fatty acid metabolites

New West, New Dust Bowl?
By Courtney White. Originally posted on NewWest.net, 4-28-2010
The apparent declining interest in the environment among Americans was much on my mind as I attended the 21st Annual Southern Plains conference in Lubbock, Texas, recently. Organized by the nonprofit Ogallala Commons, the event focused on a famous date in environmental history. No, it wasn't the upcoming 40th anniversary of Earth Day, but the 75th anniversary of 'Black Sunday' – April 14th, 1935 – when a massive dust cloud arose from the Great Plains like a biblical vision and blew topsoil all the way to Washington, D.C., and out to sea.
It was the Dust Bowl, of course – a national calamity of epic proportions that still reverberates today. It was a 'perfect' storm of ecological and economic havoc. Massive tilling of prairie topsoil, abetted immensely by the introduction of diesel-powered tractors, followed by a series of unusually dry years in the early 1930s, followed by big winds put hundreds of millions of tons of fertile soil into the air. Nearly one-third of the human population left the area as a result, most never to return.
It wasn't an act of God. The 1920s were a period of 'irrational exuberance' in the nation, characterized by rapid technological innovation, crazy speculation in real estate markets, a bull run on the stock market, distracted regulators, social excess, widespread consumerism, cheap products, fast deals, and an uncritical faith in Progress. On the land, this translated into the 'big plow-up' where nearly every acre of the Great Plains that could be planted to wheat or other grains was planted, whether there was a cloud in the sky or not. In their exuberance, farmers transformed a healthy, functioning prairie ecosystem – fabulous country for herbivores of all stripes – into a tilled-over wasteland. Then they prayed for rain.
Unfortunately, God lost his temper.
"The dust storms that swept across the southern plains in the 1930s," wrote historian Donald Worster in his seminal book titled The Dust Bowl, "created the most severe environmental catastrophe in the entire history of the white man on this continent. In no other instance was there greater or more sustained damage to the American land, and there have been few times when so much tragedy was visited on its inhabitants. Not even the Depression was more devastating, economically. And in ecological terms we have nothing in the nation's past, nothing even in the polluted present, that compares."
Not yet – but it could be coming.
That was the message of the conference, and its keynote speaker, Dr. Worster. He said climate change is on its way to dwarfing the Dust Bowl of the 1930s by an order of magnitude. He noted that according to climate models, one of the worst 'hot spots' in the nation for drought sits directly atop the area of the previous Dust Bowl, which means we could lose America's breadbasket, for good possibly.
That wasn't all. According to Dr. Kevin Mulligan, a professor of Economics and Geography at Texas Tech, and another speaker at the event, serious trouble lurks underground. His sobering presentation focused on the Ogallala Aquifer, which is a vast underground reservoir of fresh water created over the span of millions of years and which has been drawn down dramatically in less than a century by irrigators up and down the southern Plains. Mulligan and his students have mapped the Aquifer extensively, discovering that not only is it shallower in places than people originally thought, it is also being drawn down (often at a rate of 800 gallons a minute) faster than anticipated.
In fact, they have determined that in many spots industry will run out of useable water (i.e., 30 feet of water or less) not by the end of the century, as predicted, but by 2030 – only 20 years from now.
"This will certainly mean the end of pivot irrigation in the region," he announced calmly to the audience.
Of course, Dr. Mulligan's maps, much like Dr. Worster's history lessons and climatologists' prognostications about global warming are disputed by Industry, dismissed by politicians, and ignored by an apathetic public. One local activist I spoke with said this about the future: "When they run out of water, the irrigators will simply leave, and we'll have a different economy. Again."
This, of course, is the pattern of New West economies – exploit a resource until it is nearly exhausted and then move on. It doesn't matter if the resource is pelts, bison, gold, oil, trees, water, scenery, people, or climate – the desire to use until used up is powerful and terrifying. The trouble is we're beginning to run out of exploitable stuff, such as ancient aquifers. The question now, I believe, is whether the next New West will be "moving on" to the next exploitable commodity, if one can be found, or something more enduring and resilient.

Listing the wolverine
On a sunny day in late March 2010, a young wolverine known as F3 poked her head out of the mouth of a log-box research trap in Montana's Absaroka Range, looked around, and then, in a blur of snow, surged off into the wilderness. Around her neck was a new GPS collar that we'd fastened in place two hours earlier, after determining - to our disappointment - that she hadn't given birth this year. This device will download locations via satellite at two hour intervals until October 2010, when the collar will fall off and the information that it contains will become part of the sparse but growing collection of data on wolverines in the Lower 48.
The meaning of existing data on the wolverine is in question yet again as the US Fish and Wildlife Service announced on April 15th that it is undertaking a fourth review of the species' status. A paucity of information has twice stymied attempts to list the wolverine under the Endangered Species Act, in 1994 and 2001. A third petition was turned down in 2008, despite the publication of a wolverine-focused edition of the Journal of Wildlife Management that essentially doubled the number of existing peer-reviewed articles on wolverines in the contiguous US. These papers hinted at genetic fragmentation, loss of habitat, and threats due to mortality, but the USFWS concluded that wolverines were not warranted for protection because the US population was not distinct from the Canadian population. The current review is in response to environmental advocacy groups' lawsuit following the 2008 decision, which they allege was based on politics rather than science. Much of the information under review will be the same that was considered in 2008, but two substantial research articles have been added to the literature in the past six months.
Last month, shortly before we collared F3 and watched her disappear into the snow-draped forest, scientists linked wolverine distribution to persistent spring snow in a paper published in the Canadian Journal of Zoology. Female wolverines den in snow, and rely on snow caves to protect and insulate their kits until the babies are ready to emerge in late April or early May. The paper's authors found that all of the world's known den sites occur in areas with persistent spring snow, and that 95% of telemetry locations during the summer also occur within this range. Researchers writing in Ecology in November of 2009 take this connection one step further by modeling Rocky Mountain wolverines' dispersal routes among their high altitude habitat islands and showing that the most efficient paths follow landscape features that also have persistent spring snow. These models conform to data on genetic distance among populations. Put simply, wolverines need snow not only to den, but to reach each other to breed in the first place.
HCN Reader Photo: Teton Summer
We might be a little premature in posting this photo, in April, since it represents the Tetons in August. But it's such a lovely picture, and gives us something to look forward to: long summer days with beautiful views. It's great to live in the West. Add your photos to our Flickr pool; we pick one a week to feature on the Grange blog.
Waste not ... or get nukes
A few weeks ago the New Mexico Environmental Law Center's media director, Juana Colon, suggested I should write a blog post about policymakers' recent embrace of nuclear power as just a way to enrich the world's economic elites while at the same time continuing to subject poor and minority communities to various kinds of radioactive pollution, and therefore continue to encourage wasteful energy consumption. Her words were actually a lot angrier and profanity-laced, largely because the office had been preoccupied with a series of preposterous pro-nuclear pieces of legislation during the state legislative session (Such as declaring nuclear power green energy [PDF] and seeking that it become part of the governor's clean energy efforts [PDF]) Adding to that, President Obama had also just announced his intention to increase the subsidies the public would lavish on the nuclear industry.
I've thought a lot about Juana's suggestion and there are a lot of interesting aspects to the nuclear power puzzle that deserve some ink.
To begin with, there's the issue of who benefits from increasing nuclear power generation. At every point along the nuclear fuel chain, the flow of money reinforces current economic and social power disparities. In an interesting case of metaphorical biomimicry, public handouts to the nuclear industry tend to get larger as they move up the nuclear fuel chain, much the way bioaccumulated toxins become more concentrated the higher they move up the food chain. At the beginning of the fuel chain – uranium mining – economic benefits go either to large multinational corporations and their executives, or just to the executives, in the case of junior mining companies who subsist on speculation. At the generation phase of the fuel chain, corporate elites accrue even more benefits. As President Obama's nuclear loan guarantees demonstrate, when the taxpayer is handing out money, the really big bucks go to a few corporate interests, in this case the Georgia utility, Southern Company. Exelon, GE and Areva will no doubt not be far behind with their hands stretched out.

Today, Coloradans have a chance today to shape the future of America's National System of Forests, some 193 million acres of mountains, grasslands, rivers and lakes all across the country. The U.S. Forest Service is hosting more than 30 national town hall meetings to hear, straight from the people who use these lands, why our nation's forests are so important. One of those meetings will be held tonight in Lakewood, Colorado, with sessions following throughout the region [PDF] beginning tomorrow in Missoula and Billings, Montana, and in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho.
Chances are the Forest Service is going to get an earful. Colorado alone has 14.5 million acres divvied up among 11 national forests and two grasslands. From adventures scaling Colorado's famous "14ers" to sportsmen and anglers setting out to their favorite haunts, Colorado's national forests have many fans, representing many different voices.
However, these lands are also used for timber, grazing, and even oil and gas development. Historically, development agendas have driven how the Forest Service decides to manage these lands and their resources.
Climate Friendly National Parks
National parks across the country, including California's desert national parks like the Mojave National Preserve, Joshua Tree National Park, and Death Valley National Park have begun developing action plans to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions as part of the National Park Service Climate Friendly Parks Program. The Climate Friendly Parks Program helps individual parks reduce their climate pollution, offers special public education programs about how global warming is already affecting our parks, and helps inspire visitors to embrace climate friendly solutions like using clean energy, reducing waste, and making smart transportation choices.
California's desert parks are some of the largest national park sites in the lower forty-eight states and attract millions of visitors each year. This leads to a unique set of problems in reducing their greenhouse gas emissions.
For example, Mojave National Preserve, located in eastern California, was created by the 1994 California Desert Protection Act.
The 1.6 million acre Mojave National Preserve has singing sand dunes, spectacular rock formations, pristine night skies and a diverse array of plant and animal life. It's made substantial investments in clean, renewable solar energy, energy efficiency programs and implemented aggressive recycling programs. The problem is that biologists, geologists, archaeologists and maintenance staff have to drive vast distances, sometimes hundreds of miles in a single day, to protect plants, animals, archaeological and geological resources. That not only translates to a great deal of fossil fuel being consumed, but also to greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, the park's largest source of greenhouse gas emissions comes from mobile sources.

Privatizing conservation
The State of California is in the middle of a process that will result in the state's Fish and Game Commission designating an array of near shore marine reserves along the length of California's coast. The reserves are intended to preserve and restore marine resources including commercially valuable fisheries.
The California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG) was charged with developing the reserves when the California legislature passed the Marine Life Protection Act (MLPA) in 1999. Several abortive efforts by CDFG and a 2004 amendment to the Act led to the current effort.
Read More ...Hunting season may be over but wolves are hardly in the clear
Yesterday marked the close of the first official hunting season for wolves ever to take place in America's lower 48 states. More than 250 wolves were killed as a result of Montana and Idaho's hunting seasons and more than twice that number have been killed overall since wolves lost federal protections in May of 2009.
And while assessing the true biological impact of the delisting decision and subsequent hunting season on the regional population will need further observation and time, one thing is clear: The optimistic talks of an official hunting season leading to a greater tolerance for wolves in the region were seemingly based on wishful thinking.
As the hunt draws to a close, tensions over wolf management remain high. Last year there were more illegal killings of wolves in the Northern Rockies than there were in 2008. Unscientific anti-wolf rhetoric in the West has become so commonplace and unchallenged in regional media articles that it's in danger of becoming accepted as 'fact.'
Recent headlines from across the region showcase the escalating persecution wolves face from many sides: from the usual vocal anti-wolf interest groups to political candidates and state legislative officials looking not to inform but to incite fear by whipping their constituents into an irrational wolf-hating frenzy.

Tough Dude for the money!
By Roger Who
from Fort Smith, AR
I rated this less than perfect because, I used it in a manner not intended by the manufacturer. I purchased this item because of the price, but when I went to use it, it would not fit my 4" grinder. I was in the middle of a counter top stove instillation, Soooo, I had to Improvise. I used a 3/8 bolt with two washers and a nut to make a shaft on it and used it in my 1/2" high speed drill. I knew it wouldn't work. . .but it did. I cut through Ceramic tile counter top, with a 1/2" cement board backing. I made two cuts, totaling about 5'. I did it all in about 20 min. The saw would get hot and "flex", I would wait a few minutes and go again. When I finished it was still going strong.

Some people who have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are at high risk for sudden death. It can occur at any age, but it is most shocking when it happens to young adults or athletes. While the media often highlight these tragic deaths, sudden death is rare. It occurs in about 1 out of 100 adults with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy each year.1
Sudden death is often the result of ventricular tachycardia (a type of rapid heart rate) or other dangerous arrhythmias, which can be caused by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
A genetic factor appears to influence which people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are more likely to die suddenly. Other risk factors for sudden death include severe blockage of the left ventricle, multiple fainting (syncope) episodes, recurring episodes of ventricular tachycardia, and an abnormal drop in blood pressure during exercise.
To find out your risk of sudden death, your doctor will do tests and ask you about your health and family history. Your doctor might check to see if you:2
If you are at high risk for sudden death, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) might be right for you. An ICD can identify life-threatening arrhythmias and successfully restore a normal heartbeat.
Because of the possible increased risk of sudden death, it is a good idea for family members of people who have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to learn CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation).

Winchester, Va.-based Trex Company reported fourth-quarter sales of $63.8 million, an increase of 38% over the same quarter last year.
"We brought 2013 to a very strong finish," said chairman, president and CEO Ronald W. Kaplan. "Expanded distribution and dealer demand across the country contributed significantly to sales and are helping us advance a key initiative -- increasing market share."
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co. announced that on Dec. 16, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted final approval of a settlement that resolves a nationwide class action lawsuit alleging misrepresentations and defects in Trex's first-generation composite products relating to mold growth and color issues.
The cost to Trex under the settlement is capped at $8.25 million, plus $1.475 million in attorneys' fees.
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co. posted a third-quarter net loss of $15.3 million for the period ended Sept. 30, 2013 -- that compares with a loss of $14.3 million in the same quarter last year.
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Company, the world's largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing, is expanding its presence in the Mid-Atlantic region with the addition of Pittsburgh-based Babcock Lumber Company to its distribution network.
Babcock will supply dealers across western and central Pennsylvania, western New York and West Virginia with Trex products.
"Babcock is well-known and respected throughout the industry for its commitment to its customers," said Ronald W. Kaplan, chairman, president and CEO of Trex.
At a cost capped at $8.25 million plus attorney's fees, Trex Co. is settling a California lawsuit connected to mold in an early version of its decking product.
Winchester, Va.-based American Woodmark Corp. saw sales rise 26% in the fourth quarter, with double-digit gains in each of its sales channels.
Net sales for the quarter ended April 30 reached $171.1 million, as it swung to a profit of $5.2 million, compared with a fourth-quarter loss of $6.0 million in 2012.
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co., the manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing products, is expanding its TrexTrim line with the addition of new moulding profiles.
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Company expanded its Trex Transcend decking collection to include a new, variegated light brown color called Tiki Torch.
The earthy shade features reddish-brown hardwood streaking and is designed to complement both the two existing tropical-inspired Transcend shades and the five classic Transcend hues.
Winchester, Va.-based American Woodmark posted first-quarter net income excluding restructuring charges of $1.0 million, compared with a net loss of $2.7 million in the first quarter of its prior fiscal year.
Trex, a manufacturer of composite decking and railing products, reported net sales for the first quarter of 2012 of $96.1 million, a 39% increase over net sales of $69.0 million for the same period in 2011.
The Winchester, Va.-based company reported net income of $12.3 million for its first quarter, which ended March 31, 2012. This compares to net income of $5.1 million for the prior-year period.
Winchester, Va.-based Annandale Millwork and Allied Systems received Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody certification.
"We are very proud and excited to have been awarded this certification," said Gene L. Frogale, Annandale Millwork and Allied Systems co-president. "Our customers will benefit from this knowing we are a trusted resource in obtaining the supplies they need for their environmentally sustainable projects. Overall, we are helping to preserve the world that we live in and we are making a difference for future generations."
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co. launched the new Trex Enhance high-performance composite decking.
The new product will be positioned between Trex Accents and Transcend in the company's good, better, best decking line-up, according to CEO Ronald Kaplan.
"Trex Enhance will both expand and strengthen our high-performance decking portfolio and provide consumers with a composite product that features a multitude of innovative features," said Kaplan.
Winchester, Va.-based Trex posted a third-quarter net loss of $0.5 million, compared with a net loss of $8.8 million in the 2010 period.
Net sales for the third quarter ended Sept. 30 totaled $67.9 million, up 12% from net sales of $60.6 million in the year-ago period.
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co. entered into a licensing agreement with Manassas, Va.-based Backyard America to develop and market Trex Pergola kits manufactured with cellular PVC TrexTrim.
In its first quarter ended July 31, the Winchester, Va.-based company pointed to growth in both its remodel and new construction business.
The company's net sales increased 20% to $131.2 million in the quarter. However, it still posted a net loss of $2.7 million. In the first quarter last year, American Woodmark's net loss was $3.4 million.
Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 was 14.0% of net sales, compared with 13.2% in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.
Poor weather hurt second-quarter sales at Trex, the nation's largest manufacturer of wood-alternative decking and railing products. The macro-economy didn't help, either.
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co. reported net sales of $78.4 million for the second quarter ended June 30, down 32.1% from $115.5 million in the same quarter last year. Income declined to $2.1 million, compared with $4.8 million a year ago.
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co. expanded its original September 2010 licensing agreement with Syracuse, Ind.-based Poly-Wood to develop and market additional categories of outdoor living furniture.
Under the expanded agreement, the Trex Outdoor Furniture collection will grow to include porch swings, rockers and benches along with retractable patio and deck shade umbrellas. All new designs will combine style, comfort and durability and will complement low-maintenance and eco-friendly Trex outdoor living spaces.
Winchester, Va.-based American Woodmark Corp., a manufacturer of kitchen cabinets and other home products, reported sales increases for the fourth quarter ended April 30, as well as the full year. But earnings declined.
In the fourth quarter, the company reported a 10% sales gain to $124.2 million, up from $112.4 million in the same quarter last year. For the full year, sales increased to $452.6 million, up 11.3% from $406.5 million in the prior year.
Trex Co., a leading manufacturer of composite decking, has acquired the assets of Iron Deck Corp., a manufacturer of steel deck framing systems based in Denver.
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co. is the sponsor of the fourth annual HGTV Green Home. Located in the sustainable neighborhood of Stapleton in northwest Denver, the modern-prairie style structure features the latest environmentally friendly products and technologies.
The 2,400-sq.-ft. home features an expansive outdoor living space with a deck constructed of Trex Transcend.
A leader in wood-alternative decking, Trex said it turns 1.5 billion recycled plastic bags into its outdoor living products each year.
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co. reported net sales for the fourth quarter of 2010 totaled $75.3 million, up 47% from net sales of $51.2 million for the 2009 fourth quarter.
The wood-alternative decking and railing manufacturer reported a net loss of $0.5 million in the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2010, compared with a net loss of $0.3 million in the 2009 period.
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co, announced a change in its accounting for inventories from a specific goods last in, first out (LIFO) approach to a Link Chain LIFO method.
The new method is preferable for several reasons, according to Trex:
Winchester, Va.-based Trex has introduced a deck design program for contractors, designers and landscape architects.
The software, called DeckWorks, operates as a plug-in for the popular Vectorworks platform for landscape architects, designers and contractors. The program allows professionals to produce and output photo-realistic 3-D renderings of outdoor living spaces for their customers.
Winchester, Va.-based Trex Co. entered into a licensing agreement with Colorado-based CurveIt to develop and market a solution for heating and bending Trex products on the job site.
The Trex CustomCurve Heating and Bending Solution offers a new tool for the creation of customized outdoor living spaces.
