An interesting short video from the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation on what sustainable fishing means to a guy who makes his living fishing—and how his idea has changed over time. FYI when he talks about catch shares he's referring to a means of fisheries management that dedicates a secure share of fish—or the catch from a fishing area—to individual fishermen, fishing communities, or fishery associations. Here's how the Environmental Defense Fund describes the process:
With a secure privilege of the total catch and clearly defined access to resources fishermen have the ability to catch a certain amount of fish each year and are responsible for not exceeding that amount. And with this privilege fishermen are afforded great flexibility in planning their business operations. They are no longer told exactly when or how to fish and are able to enjoy the freedom to do what makes sense for them. Often fishermen have the opportunity to buy and sell shares which improves flexibility and increases economic efficiency. Fishermen are also able to coordinate harvests to meet market demands, resulting in higher prices for their catch and overall resulting in improved levels of the fishery's profitability.
The first catch share program in the US began in 1990, according to NOAA, in the Mid-Atlantic Surf Clam and Ocean Quahog Fishery. Catch shares are currently in use in 15 US fisheries managed by six regional fishery management councils (map above).
A 2008 paper in Science assessed catch share fisheries worldwide and found them highly effective:
To test whether catch-share fishery reforms achieve these hypothetical benefits we have compiled a global database of fisheries institutions and catch statistics in 11,135 fisheries from 1950 to 2003. Implementation of catch shares halts, and even reverses, the global trend toward widespread collapse... [T]hese findings suggest that as catch shares are increasingly implemented globally, fish stocks, and the profits from harvesting them, have the potential to recover substantially.

Results are in from the first controlled laboratory tests on how Deepwater Horizon oil and the dispersant Corexit® 9500 affect coral larvae. Conclusion: Baby corals of at least some species are likely to be killed when exposed to oil and are especially likely to die when exposed to dispersants. The results have just been published in the science journal PLOS ONE.
Coral larvae are delicate little beings that drift away from their parents (see video below) to settle on near or distant reefs. The study from Mote Marine Laboratory scientists focused on two coral species—mustard hill coral (Porites astreoides) and mountainous star coral (Montastraea faveolata)—from the Florida Keys, an area not directly impacted by the spill. Both species are common reef builders in the Gulf and the Caribbean.
The researchers tested larvae in water containing 1) the dissolved components of Deepwater Horizon oil from the source; 2) weathered oil; 3) the dispersant Corexit® 9500; and 4) the combined oil and dispersant. They monitored the coral larvae for 72 hours at different concentrations of each solution, and tested how the mountainous star coral larvae fared in solutions that were slowly diluted over 96 hours.
Highlights from the paper:
Both species were highly vulnerable to Corexit® 9500:
"To understand how oil and dispersant could affect wild corals, more research is needed on their complex natural life cycles," said Kim Ritchie, principal investigator on the emergency Protect Our Reefs grant supporting this study and manager of the Marine Microbiology Program at Mote. "Coral larvae seem to settle with help from landing pads called 'biofilms' that are formed by microbes like marine bacteria. This delicate natural process might be interrupted by dispersant and its mixture with oil, so it's important to know how it works in detail."
The Deepwater Horizon rig spewed more than 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico and responders used nearly 2 million gallons of dispersant to try and keep the slicks from reaching shore—a mitigation that likely exacerbated the threats from oil toxins underwater.
The open access paper:
*The coral larvae in this study were collected under the government research permit FKNMS-2010-080-A2 issued by the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. Coral reefs within the Sanctuary are protected by federal law.
The science journal PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences) has published a Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Special Feature taking a look back 20 months after the explosion that killed eleven people and upended countless lives along the Gulf Coast. Specifically at what happened, what we learned, and what could be done better the next time around. The introduction is authored by Jane Lubchenco, administrator of NOAA, and Marcia McNutt, director of the USGS, among others. They write about the unprecedented scientific and engineering challenges suddenly thrown down in an arena of chaos:*
[S]topping the flow of oil, estimating the amount of oil, capturing and recovering the oil, tracking and forecasting surface oil, protecting coastal and oceanic wildlife and habitat, managing fisheries, and protecting the safety of seafood. Disciplines involved included atmospheric, oceanographic, biogeochemical, ecological, health, biological, and chemical sciences, physics, geology, and mechanical and chemical engineering. Platforms ranged from satellites and planes to ships, buoys, gliders, and remotely operated vehicles to laboratories and computer simulations... Many valuable lessons were learned that should be applied to future events.
High on their wish list:
Here's a quick look at the findings of a few of the other papers in the special feature.
This paper begins by noting that the biological consequences of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill are unknown especially for plants and animals that live year-round in areas that were oiled. The authors studied killifish—small dwellers of the coastal marshes of the Gulf coast—during the first four months of the spill. They found that fish living in oiled areas showed significant biological changes including genetic changes. The embryos and larval forms of killifish exposed to contaminated waters showed genetic changes of the type that lead to developmental abnormalities, decreased hatching success, and decreased survival. Overall the levels of biological and genetic changes in Gulf killifish in oiled waters were similar to what was seen in fish, sea otters, and harlequin ducks who initially survived the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska but who afterwards suffered population declines.
This paper assessed the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on deep-water coral communities of the Gulf of Mexico. The authors examined 11 sites three to four months after the well was capped. They found healthy coral communities at all sites (map here) more than 12 miles / 20 kilometers from the Macondo well. But one site less than 7 miles / 11 kilometers away got walloped. The coral colonies there showed widespread signs of stress including: varying degrees of tissue loss; enlargement of sclerites (small bonelike supports); excess mucous production (think: snot); brittle stars (like the one wrapped around the coral sea fan in the photo above) that were bleached (think: stressed and unhealthy); and corals smothered with brown fluffy material called floc. Forty-three corals colonies were photographed at the contaminated site. About half of those colonies showed signs of stress in more than half the colony. A quarter of those colonies showed signs of stress in >90 percent of the colony. The brittle stars living commensally with the deep-water corals were hard hit too, with 53 percent displaying abnormal colors and/or attachment to the corals. Petroleum biomarkers in the floc bore the signature of oil from Deepwater Horizon. The authors write:
The presence of recently damaged and deceased corals beneath the path of a previously documented plume emanating from the Macondo well provides compelling evidence that the oil impacted deep-water ecosystems. Our findings underscore the unprecedented nature of the spill in terms of its magnitude, release at depth, and impact to deep-water ecosystems.
This paper reports on a wide range of gases and aerosols measured from aircraft around, downwind, and away from the Deepwater Horizon site, plus hydrocarbon measurements made from ships in the area. As you might guess air quality issues were different for workers at the site than for people living along the Gulf coast. Four sources of primary air pollutants attributable to the oil spill were detected including: hydrocarbons evaporating from the oil; smoke from deliberate burning of the oil slick; combustion products from the flaring of recovered natural gas; and ship emissions from the recovery and cleanup operations. Secondary organic aerosols that formed over the oil spill were dispersed in a wide plume which continued to increase in mass downwind, likely increasing aerosol particles in coastal communities. Hydrocarbons and ozone were also found downwind of the spill site though confined to narrower plumes.
This paper and this one looked at the effects of the microbial communities in reponse to the sudden eruption of oil and gas into the surface and deep waters of the Gulf. The blowout fed a deep sea bacterial bloom that ate hydrocarbons, formed a localized low-oxygen (hypoxic) zone, and altered the microbiology of the region. Blooms of microbes arose in the plumes of oiled and gassed water, plumes which then sometimes cycled on currents back to the spill site now ready populated with microbes ready to eat more erupting oil and gas. This made for an efficient natural compost system. Since crude oil is composed of thousands of different hydrocarbon compounds that biodegrade at different rates in different depths and water temperatures, the erupted plumes were colonized by different species of microbes at different stages, depths, and ages. (Thanks microbes!)

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) published its seventh-annual Arctic Report Card this week, and though they didn't hand out a grade as they have in the past, it might as well be marked "G" for grim. Here are six of the biggest problems up north.
Virtually the entire length and width of the surface of the Greenland ice sheet melted for the first time in 2012. This year was also the longest melt season ever witnessed. Plus Greenland's ice lost some of its glitter as exposed soot, dust, and other particles blew onto the snow, darkening it and making it even more susceptible to melt. The more Greenland melts the more sea level rises.
Snow cover extent in both Eurasia and North America hit new record lows in June—the third time in five years that North America has set a new record low and the fifth year in a row that Eurasia has. The rate of June snow cover loss over Northern Hemisphere lands between 1979 and 2012 is -17.6 percent per decade—a faster decline than sea ice loss. Loss of spring snow cover affects the length of the growing season, the timing and dynamics of spring river runoff, permafrost thawing, and the yearly breeding and migratory clocks of wildlife. These schedule changes can throw species wildly out of sync with their environment—animals might migrate after their forage food has passed peak nutrition, for example—threatening their survival.
Arctic sea ice reached its smallest coverage, or extent, on record, 18 percent smaller than the previous record low set only five years ago and 49 percent below the 1979-2000 average. As the ice pack shrinks the ocean absorbs more sunlight and warming accelerates causing even more ice loss. Consequently wind patterns, clouds, ocean currents, and ecosystems are undergoing rapid transformations.
Arctic sea ice used to persist for many years, getting older and thicker with each passing year. Nowadays, not only is the area or extent of sea ice dwindling, but its volume too. The loss of old, thick, melt-resistant ice can easily become a self-reinforcing process. When old ice melts away—or when young ice fails to survive melt seasons—the ice that remains in the Arctic is predisposed to melt quickly the following summer. And that's what's happening in the 21st century, as you can see in the animation showing ice volume from 1987 to 2012 (below). Watch how old sea ice, on which so much Arctic life depends, is fast disappearing.
High primary productivity created by blooms of phytoplankton are normal at the edge of sea ice. But when this image was captured scientists at sea discovered a massive bloom reaching up to 62 miles / 100 kilometers under the thinning ice—yet another change in yet another Arctic ecosystem.
The loss of the polar ice cap over the Arctic Ocean exposes the waters to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide like never before. No one yet knows what scary changes will ripple out from that.

The seventh annual Arctic Report Card released by NOAA finds the rapid melting underway in northern lands and waters is unlikely to diminish in the face of continued global warming. The single biggest finding: Despite fewer weird warm spells in the Arctic in 2012, compared to the past ten warm years, snow and ice extent continued to melt at a record-breaking pace.
Ominously a new mechanism seems to be driving these changes. Disappearing ice and snow no longer reflect as much sunlight from the Earth. Meanwhile increasingly open waters and snow-free lands absorb more sunlight. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle of continued melting even during cooler times. It bodes poorly for recovery or stability in the far north.
No one is more amazed at the staggering rate of change than the scientists observing it. Bob Pickart, a physical oceanographer at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and co-author of the Report Card (also principle investigator of the icebreaker cruise I tagged along on in the Arctic Ocean in October: see my Arctic Ocean Diaries)—tells me:
It is mind-boggling how quickly the Arctic system is changing and how unstable it appears to be. It is clear that there are strong, disturbing trends, but it is also evident how complex the system is and hence how hard it is to predict what all the consequences will be. In some ways I feel that the scientific community simply can't respond quickly enough to sort all these issues out.
Jeremy Mathis, a chemical oceanographer at University of Alaska Fairbanks, and also principle investigator on the Arctic Ocean cruise I joined in October, tells me:
The 2012 Arctic Report Card is another stark reminder of how quickly the Arctic is charging. Sea ice extent is diminishing in summer at an unprecedented rate and we do not yet understand the biological consequences for other stressors such as ocean acidification. While there is no base-line left to study in the Arctic we should increase our efforts to monitor and anticipate how the rapid changes we our observing today will impact high latitude ecosystems and the charismatic megafauna that they support.
Global warming is amplified in the Arctic, where no part of was cooler than the long-term average in the past decade: NOAA climate.gov teamStay tuned. I'll be writing more in-depth about other changes in NOAA's Arctic Report Card in the coming days.

The Honda Center, previously known as the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim and colloquially called The Pond or The Ponda, is an indoor arena in Anaheim, California, United States. The arena is home to the National Hockey League's Anaheim Ducks and was home of the former National Lacrosse League's Anaheim Storm, which folded in 2005. Beginning in 2014, it will be home to the Los Angeles Kiss of the Arena Football League.
Originally named the Anaheim Arena during construction, it was completed in 1993 at a cost of $123 million. Arrowhead Water paid $15 million for the naming rights over 10 years in October 1993.[5] In the short period of time between the enfranchisement of the Mighty Ducks and the naming rights deal with Arrowhead, Disney referred to the Arena as the Pond of Anaheim.[6] Honda, in October 2006 acquired the naming rights for $60 million over 15 years.[7]
The arena opened on June 19, 1993, with a Barry Manilow concert as its first event. Since then, it has been host to a number of events, such as the 2003 and 2007 Stanley Cup Finals. On June 6, 2007, the Anaheim Ducks defeated the Ottawa Senators, 6–2, in game five of the Final at Honda Center to clinch the franchise's first-ever Stanley Cup championship. The Ducks have never lost a Finals game played at the arena.[8]
UFC 59, UFC 63, and UFC 76, UFC 121 have been at Honda Center and with UFC on FOX next as well. It hosted the 2005 IBF World Championships for badminton in 2005.
From 1994 to 1998, it served as a second home for the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers. It was the home arena for the Anaheim Bullfrogs of Roller Hockey International from 1993 to 1999 and for the Anaheim Piranhas of the Arena Football League from 1996 to 1997. This arena has also hosted a PBR Bud Light Cup (later Built Ford Tough Series) event annually since 1998. Since 1994, the arena has hosted the annual John R. Wooden Classic. In 2011, the arena began hosting the Big West Conference Men's and Women's Basketball tournaments. The arena has also hosted the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament five times, as the West Regional site - 1998, 2001, 2003, 2008, and 2011. It even hosted the Frozen Four, the semifinals and final of the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship, in 1999, underscoring the popularity of hockey in the region. On December 6, 2000, music legend Tina Turner played her last concert at the arena for the record breaking Twenty Four Seven Tour, but after popular demand, Turner returned to the arena before a sellout crowd on October 14, 2008, for her Tina!: 50th Anniversary Tour.
The arena has hosted a number of WWE events including WrestleMania XII, Royal Rumble (1999), WrestleMania 2000, as well as various episodes of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown.
The Honda Center lies northeast across California State Route 57 from Angel Stadium (where Major League Baseball's Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim play) and roughly 3 miles (4.8 km) from Disneyland Park. It is also walkable from Amtrak and Metrolink's Anaheim station, which is located on Angel Stadium's parking lot.
The arena seats up 17,174 for its primary tenant, the Ducks. It takes only five hours to convert Honda Center from a sporting arena to an 8,400-seat amphitheater. There are 84 luxury suites in the building, which has hosted 17.5 million people, as of 2003. In 2005, the arena became the first in the U.S. to have two full levels of 360-degree ribbon displays installed. Daktronics out of Brookings, South Dakota designed, manufactured and installed the 1,800 feet (550 m) of full-color LED technology. Outside the venue, the marquee was upgraded with two large video displays measuring 8 feet (2.4 m) high by 21 feet (6.4 m), and a new marquee was built with more LED video displays.[9]
Broadcom chairman and billionaire, Henry Samueli, owns the company that operates the arena, Anaheim Arena Management, LLC, and the arena's primary tenant, the Ducks, giving him great flexibility in scheduling events and recruiting new tenants. Samueli hopes to bring an NBA franchise to the arena, and the Sacramento Kings have expressed an interest in relocating to Anaheim from their current stadium, Sleep Train Arena (formerly ARCO Arena).[10] On March 3, 2011 a lawyer representing the Maloof brothers, owners of the Kings, filed applications to trademark possible names for a new basketball team at the Honda Center, including the Anaheim Royals, Los Angeles Royals, Orange County Royals, and Anaheim Royals of Southern California.[11] The Maloof brothers had until May 2, 2011 to file paperwork officially requesting a relocation to the Honda Center, but the brothers decided to keep the team in Sacramento for the 2011–12 season.[12] On March 7, 2012, the city of Sacramento, the NBA, and the Kings organization initially reached an agreement on a $391 million arena deal which would have kept the Kings in Sacramento;[13] however, one month later, the Maloof family backed out of the agreement, reviving rumors regarding potential relocation.[14]
Notable concerts, film, and television[edit]
The Honda Center has the second highest gross ticket sales from special events on the West Coast, following only the Staples Center.[15] These events have included the following over the years:
- Barbra Streisand recorded the final date here from her first tour in 30 years Barbra: The Concert in June 1994.
- Honda Center was used as the site of the fictional Junior Goodwill Games in the film D2: The Mighty Ducks.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! A time for baking cookies, strategically choosing which gift to select in your office Yankee Swap, and, hopefully, letting some of that strategy pour over into your 2014 planning and goal setting.
But wait! What about those naughty marketers out there who don't have goals? Don't worry -- HubSpot's elves have put together a goal-setting template to make sure you're on the nice list next year (read: the list with all of the leads and bonuses and promotions and stuff).
This 2014 marketing goal-setting template will help you set yearly, quarterly, monthly, and even daily goals that are realistic, measurable and help you figure out how to actually hitthose 2014 goals with ... you know ... a plan.
To learn how to use this 2014 goal-setting template, download it now so you can read along with this post's step-by-step explanation. We'll walk you through every part of the template and teach you how to use it to set yourself up for a stellar year of marketing.
First, a Brief Message on Setting SMART Goals
Goals are great -- they help us prove how effective we are, keep us focused, and push us to be better. The thing is, though, goals are totally useless if they're not grounded in reality. That's why it's critical to set SMART goals. (You're about to find out that SMART is an acronym, but your goals should still, indeed, be "smart.") Here's what we mean by setting a smart, and a SMART, goal:
- Specific -- Do set real numbers with real deadlines. Don't say, "I want more visitors."
- Measurable -- Do make sure that you can track your goal. Don't hide behind buzzwords like "brand engagement" or "social influence."
- Attainable -- Do work toward a goal that is challenging but possible. Don't try to take over the world in one night.
- Realistic -- Do be honest with yourself, because you know what you and your team are capable of. Don't forget any hurdles you may have to overcome.
- Timebound -- Do give yourself a deadline. Don't keep pushing towards a goal you might hit "some day."
Alright, now that we've got that little best practice out of the way, on to the template!
Step 1: Summarize Your Goal
The first step is to write down a summary of what your goal is. Goals are not always clear for marketers, so this may be harder than it seems -- but forcing yourself to verbalize it here lends clarity that you'll find immensely helpful. I recommend you set a numbers driven goal in the orange box, and then use the white box to explain it a bit more.
If you can't come up with one now, leave it blank momentarily and come back to it once you've completed the worksheet -- you might find you have an easier time of it, as the template helps you figure these things out.
(Note: This example has our company name and logo -- you, of course, would swap this out for your company's!)
Step 2: Categorize Your Goal
We've found that most marketers need to do one of three things: get more visitors to their site, get more visitors to convert into leads, or get more leads to convert into customers. When you click on the right of the white box in your template, this drop-down will appear:
Use the drop-down menu to select which best describes your current situation.
Step 3: Set a Specific Numerical Goal
Now that you've narrowed down your goal, it's time to set a value to work toward -- this can be the hardest step of all, but this template should make it easy! If you're new to inbound marketing or are not sure what you should be aiming for when setting your goal then use ONE of the THREE calculators in this step. It will help give you an idea of what you should be working towards.
As an example, let's say I am new to marketing but I know that I need to focus converting more of my traffic into leads. I'd use the second calculator you see here, outlined in orange, like so:
I just insert my average monthly site visits -- let's just say 10,000 visits -- and my current visit-to-lead conversion rate. Once I add in those two numbers, the rest is completed for me and I now know exactly how many leads I should strive to generate!
Step 4: Select a Completion Date
A goal is just a dream until you add a deadline. Select the length of time you think it will take to reach your goal. This will help you figure out how aggressive you need to be with your marketing efforts.
Step 5: Commit the Time
Now that you got all aggressive (it's okay, we kind of encourage you there), it's time for a reality check. Of course, we would all love to see huge growth in short periods of time, but are you able to commit to putting in the hours it takes to achieve your goal?
By selecting how many hours a week you can work -- and we mean really work -- on inbound marketing, you're setting another smaller goal that helps your marketing dreams become reality. This personal goal is something to be mindful of and work towards reaching every week.
Step 6: Be Aware of Potential Obstacles
There are always going to be things that may stop us from reaching our goals. State those now so you're aware of them, you can start planning ways of getting around them, and you can prevent them from turning into excuses for not reaching your goal. Preparing for the hurdles now will make it that much easier to reach your marketing goals in 2014!
With a clear goal and a timeline, you can start to put together a strategy to make 2014 your best year yet. Just don't forget the most important part of any goal strategy: planning the celebration when you reach your goal! And then, of course, remember to use this worksheet to help you set another goal, and then another, and, well, you get the idea.

There's no bugler, no announcer shouting "And they're off!" There aren't even any jockeys. Drinks at the bar and betting? Forget it.
At camel races in Abu Dhabi, it's a dusty chaos of men, camels, and SUVs. The grunting spectacle starts at dawn Fridays (the beginning of the weekend) at camel tracks throughout the emirate. Hundreds of the animals plod through the desert morning from nearby stables, ridden by handlers from Pakistan and Afghanistan and India, among others, and owned by local Bedouin Emiratis.
The track is a long sand oval—up to 9 miles (15 kilometers)—with a road on both sides. The sport's traditional child jockeys were banned in 2002; today's riders are 18-inch-high (46-centimeter-high) robots, decked out in bright racing silks and outfitted with mechanical riding crops.
Raced by group, age, and distance between October and April, the camels line up at the start, held by human jockeys wearing protective vests and helmets. When a green net rises, the jockeys leap out of the way and the camels take off.
At the same time, the owners jump in their SUVs and roar after the animals in a honking, shouting mass. They urge the camels on with cries of "hut, hut, hut" into one VHF radio and cause the robotic crops to strike them by blowing into a second radio.
Spectators may not be able to cash in a winning ticket, but the owners do—a consistently winning camel can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Thanks Zannah! Looking at the dates and my calandar the only one I would recommend we change is Friday Oct 4...that's opening night for ROTS 3-D and I think that will be a big outing for us. Maybe the Monday after? (and I think you need to edit your header in the post to change it to 2013 )
We will be reading Star Wars: Crucible by Troy Denning on August. And seeing how he is 11's boyfriend, I hope she shows up and gives her two credits on the book. As for the others, keep voting! And thanks! -Jammies
Got my next schedule at work and looks like I'll be there Feb 1st for the Scoundrels discussion (I know everyone was worried ). For the record I will NOT be dressing up like Han Solo but I will wear one of my many Han T-shirts.
Yay Mika will be there with us!! That is very good news indeed! And nope my Jammies, that would not be us neither. Did that last statement of mine make any sense?
It sure did Zannah, don't worry-- I speak Yoda. Yeah, I don't live in Jeff county so I can't check out the Star Wars AudioBooks they have; and you all know how much I love audiobooks! So, if anyone is a member, hook a brotha up. And Yay Mika! So, Mika-- you had asked if Zahn could write a heist book better than Allston's Mercy Kill. I expect your thoughts on the answer. Should be a good discussion.
Scoundrels on Audiobook http://pac.lfpl.org/polaris/search/...rt=RELEVANCE&limit=TOM=*&query=&page=0#__pos2 It is checked out now, but one can place a request for it. You my Nerfherder!
I know...someone keeps buying up the Star Wars miniatures game at my comic shop. We know they're out there somewhere.
I know lets set a trap and see if we can find out who it is. I nominate General Ackbar as the head of task force "ti's a trap" to find these villainous scum who keep getting Mika's miniatures. I just hope he doesn't recruit to many bothans for this quest.
I just finished "Scoundrels" and I have some strong opinions so be warned I won't be holding back on the spoilers during the discussion (especially the last page) so if you haven't read it GitRDone
I've already made a page of notes Yeah I've got a rant or two I'm working up to. It's my life day and I'll rant if I want to
Standing with back to a corner looking around and waiting for the big "BOOM" when the Ranting starts!! While thinking to myself the mynochs are going to hit the fan now..
Some book news... -Joe "Death Troopers" Schreiber is working on a new Darth Maul book due late 2013 http://io9.com/5978549/the-guy-who-...rs-universe-is-sending-darth-maul-behind-bars -The latest Star Wars Insider Magazine has a nice feature article on Brian Daley -Barnes and Noble has a long term plan to start closing lots of it's Brick and Mortar stores. http://consumerist.com/2013/01/28/b...ose-a-third-of-its-stores-over-next-10-years/
Looking forward to Friday, as always-- but sadly I'm going to have to keep my appearance short. Have to drive out of town for family reasons. Really interested to hear what others thought of the book, so I won't prepare any detailed notes or anything. -Jammies
We're gonna miss you. I hope everything's ok. Oh boy, I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say too.

* Record-breaking heat waves kill thousands of people around the world.
Much of this mayhem stems from the fact that warmer air holds more moisture, causing more violent storms. Oddly, cloudburst rains in one sector can mean drought in another. Only a slight temperature increase can produce "weather on steroids," one expert dubbed it. Ph.D. meteorologist Jeff Masters said:
"Look at heat waves, drought and flooding events. They all tend to get increased when you have this extra energy in the atmosphere. I call it being on steroids for the atmosphere."
Gore himself says "dirty weather" stems from "dirty air." He adds: "Ferocious storms and deadly heat waves are occurring with alarming frequency all over the world. We are living with the reality of the climate crisis every day."
His associate, Maggie Fox, adds: "Fossil fuel companies and their allies will go to great lengths to deny the fact that climate change is happening now. But we have one powerful response: reality."
Insurers suffer growing losses. A giant reinsurance firm, Munich Re, warned: "Nowhere in the world is the rising number of natural catastrophes more evident than in North America." Travelers issued a brochure saying U.S. thunderstorms caused $25 billion damage last year.
West Virginia politicians and coal moguls won't acknowledge that air pollution from fossil fuels creates a "greenhouse" layer in the sky that traps heat on Earth's surface and causes "weather on steroids." But snowballing evidence indicates that this global heat-up is inflicting terrible losses on humanity. The current Frankenstorm is one further warning to consider.
Plenty of other climate-deniers exist. In his acceptance speech at the GOP convention, Mitt Romney drew laughs when he sneered: "President Obama promised to begin to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet." We wonder if those delegates still are snickering today.

5 Ideas from Planned Parenthood & Komen
Your organization should be prepared to use or defuse public sentiment generated around a controversial event. It's no exaggeration to say that rebranding is sometimes the accidental result of a scandal, destroying years of hard marketing and PR work.A timely example of such an event is the recent announcement that Susan G. Komen will not provide new grants to Planned Parenthood for breast exams. The impetus behind the decision is based in pro-life/anti-choice sentiment: Komen states their decision to stop funding is because Representative Cliff Stearns, a Florida Republican, is investigating whether government money was improperly spent by Planned Parenthood on abortions. Many others believe the decision has more to do with Komen's senior vice president for public policy- who is openly against abortion and even ran a political platform based that stance.
We think both organizations have a great impact. In the past five years, Planned Parenthood and funding from Susan G. Komen have provided over 4 million clinical breast examinations. Our business HelpAttack! is not to choose sides, or hold up one particular cause as more worthy of donations than another – donors make their own decisions. We do, however, have tools for supporters to help Planned Parenthood, or another organization, respond to an event like this. Here are some examples of using HelpAttack! to harness public sentiment and create additional support.
- Give to Planned Parenthood every time Representative, R-FL, Cliff Stearns Tweets (@RepCliffStearns). His investigations are cited as one reason Komen is pulling funds. In fact, you can give based off of any anti-choice group's or person's tweets. Here's how: http://info.helpattack.com/campaigns/give-each-time-someone-else-tweets/
- Give to Planned Parenthood with a hashtag such as #komen http://helpattack.com/support/3740/Twitter+Tag?tag=%23komen or give with every "For the cure" http://helpattack.com/support/3740/Twitter+Tag?tag=For+the+Cure
- Give every time Planned Parenthood Tweets http://info.helpattack.com/campaigns/give-each-time-someone-else-tweets/
- Give every time Planned Parenthood updates their Facebook page with news, information and resources: http://info.helpattack.com/campaigns/use-rss-or-atom-feeds-for-giving/
- Give with foursquare check-ins to Planned Parenthood locations: http://info.helpattack.com/campaigns/use-rss-or-atom-feeds-for-giving/
If you are looking for ways to help Planned Parenthood, or if your own organization is developing a plan to respond to a PR crisis, we hope the above ideas are useful! If you work with a nonprofit of any stripe or color, this is a reminder to ask yourself if your organization is prepared for polemic news and attention. What's your plan?

The mission of the Guadalupe-Blanco River Trust is to preserve the unique natural heritage of the Guadalupe watershed for future generations, by protecting open landscapes, working farms and ranches, and wildlife habitat through conservation easements, education, and outreach that connects people to the water and the land.
Amazingly, in Texas where land is so plentiful, we are losing this open land more rapidly than any other state.
The Guadalupe River is one of the most biologically diverse rivers in the United States, stretching from the springs and canyons of the Texas Hill Country to the marine environment of the Gulf Coast wetlands and San Antonio Bay.
The Guadalupe-Blanco River Trust is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit land trust organization that was developed to conserve land in the Guadalupe River Watershed for its natural, recreational, scenic, historic and productive value. It was founded in 2001 by the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority, a conservation and reclamation district created in 1933 by the Texas Legislature. The Upper Guadalupe River Authority (UGRA) has also partnered with the Trust. The voluntary board of directors consists of citizens who share a love of the Guadalupe River - one of the most pristine rivers in Texas.
Texas A&M and American Farmland Trust collected data from the 1997 to 2007 census that shows Texas is home to over 142 million acres of private farms, ranches and forestlands. The state of Texas thus leads the nation in land area devoted to privately-owned working lands. These lands account for 84% of the state's entire land area and provide substantial economic, environmental, and recreational resources to the benefit of the state's entire population.
According to accumulated from data the County Appraisal Districts, over 2.1 million acres of farms, ranches and forestlands were converted to other uses over the period from 1997 to 2007. Over 40% of this land conversion was related to growth and development associated with population expansion in the state's 25 highest growth counties. During this period, 861,765 acres were lost from the agricultural land base in these counties. As a function of population increase, roughly 149 acres of agricultural lands were consumed per 1,000 new residents. For more information go to Texas Land Trends.
A land trust is a local, regional or national nonprofit organization that protects land for its natural, recreational, scenic, historic or productive value. Land trusts have varying conservation objectives; some work in specific geographic areas or concentrate on protecting different natural or cultural features. Land trusts that accept conservation easements are responsible for monitoring that property and ensuring that the terms of the easement are followed. The land trust is responsible for stewardship of the conservation easement for as long as the easement exists.
EarthShare of Texas supports the work of its more than 70 participating environmental and conservation organizations by representing them in workplace giving programs throughout Texas. Workplace giving is the opportunity for employees to contribute by having their designated amounts deducted contributed from each paycheck.

Streaming Croatian Internet Radio
The Croatian Music-Industry wants royalties for their songs/music being played over the Internet. Croatians around the world are now not able to listen to Croatian Radio Live. The Croatian Music Industry needs to realize that people will only buy music of new artists if they have heard their songs before, how will we hear a new artist for the first time. The Petition will be sent to Croatia Records.
I have listened to Croatian Radio live over the Internet for years now and want it to return, I want to listen to Croatian music not English music.
I also enjoy listening to Conversations on the Radio, this is how the Croatian Language is retained.

3.8/5 rDev +10.1%
look: 4.25 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
If the greatest form of flattery is imitation, then the American IPA style should thank the Italians. But not only does Toccalmatto mimic the style, they add a little to it...
While the beer pours a rusty chestnut color, its rich and redish hues cast a darker haze that keeps things rusty in appearance. The beer billows with a rich ivory-stained lather that acts as much of Belgian ale as it does American ale; it retains sturdily and laces with tightly controlled concentric rings. Man is this one handsome ale!
Somewhat muted in aromas, a deeper dive of the nose reveals a highly grassy, leafy, and citrus scent from hops. Its supportive malt underpinnings is even lighter but shows elements of bread crust, toasted grain, pecan and toffee-like character. With little in the way of fruit or spice, the nose is all about the balance of malt and hops.
Toffee and nutty sweetness and sturdiness strikes the palate with early malt flavor. Lightly husky and the crusted taste of baking bread resonate on the palate just ahead of the hop onslaught to come. Though the malts have rich tendencies, they do not labor the palate with unnecessary sweetness. Instead, its dry malt flavor allow the taste of white grapefruit, lemon verbena, sasafrass, bitter orange peels and leafy chlorophyll to extend from middle hop additions. Its delicious balance of toast and herb work nearly to perfection, as the periphery of the beer isn't distracted by unwarranted complexity or off flavor.
Its unprecedented dry and creamy upstart is charming and highly accommodating of its flavor. As the creaminess fades, its bitterness invites a bone-dry and spicy mouthfeel that wisps away any residual malt textures in order to prefer a finish of fine minty warmth, resinous pine, citrusy brightness.
Where the beer is regretfully common with its simple dry malt and earthy hop balance, it should be better celebrated for its clean malt dryness, its acute hop bitterness and its understated but supportive malt creaminess. It's simply a work of art that is highly drinkable and perfectly suited for tomato based, sausage and pasta dishes that's done, perhaps Marsala style.

3.34/5 rDev -3.2%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Poured from the bottle a hazy mahogany color with three fingers of rocky cream head. Nice ring of lacing left behind.
Aroma was not as hoppy as others have said. Perhaps a bit older than expected. Very light floral and citrus notes with a bolder caramel malt presence.
Again, as with the aroma, this is much less hoppy and more malt-driven. Caramel malts with maybe a hint of floral hops and orange.
Medium bodied and sticky with a moderate carbonation.
Drinkable, but definitely not an American IPA from this bottle.

It looks good but... this is the only good think i can found in this beer.
Smell is strong and very resinous, the hopping kill any other think.
Taste is too bitter without a good base of malt, so at the end the mouth is hard strike! No sense beer for me!

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 2.25 | overall: 3.75
Pours copper/dark amber with a large, white, mousse-like head.
Nose shows bready malt, piny hops, grapefruit and biscuit-like malt.
Flavours include similar rich malt and more grapefruit and piny hops.
Carbonation is annoyingly high unfortunately.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Pour is a dark caramel with off white head. Nose is malt up front, caramel and brown sugar with an assertive hop taking over, pine and citrus mostly. Taste is lightly grainy, a bit of malt backbone with a citrusy tangerine hop and light pine. A little flabby, bitterness is moderate in the finish on a creamy body and a bit heavy with limited carbonation to try and balance.

Picked this up at my favorite beer store in Belgium, Dranken Geers. Hazy dark copper-amber pour with a huge three finger tan head with great retention and lacing. Huge herbal, floral nose with a touch of perfume. Lots of piney, citrusy hops initially, opening up with more fruity, caramel and bread dough notes as it warms. The taste is somewhat one-sided from what the smell suggested. The bitter hops really overpower the malt. Lots of resiny pine dominates, with just a touch of sweet tea and caramel from the malts. It fortunately regains a measure of balance as it warms and becomes pretty drinkable. Considering the huge head and retention, the mouthfeel is really pretty light on carbonation. It's slightly oily with a hugely bitter finish. Although it lacks a little on balance, overall it's another nice offering from Toccalmatto.

Dark cherry wood color, creamy beige head, beautiful.
In the smell you can fell the american hops, grapefruit, piney, resinous. Fresh and inviting.
In the taste again the american hops, grapefuity and resinous, on a good but not invading malty base.
Balanced (even if probably too "light" for the american taste).
Herbal and citrussy grapefruit aftertaste, long but not cloying.
Very drinkable.

(From notes)
Pours a ruby red brown color that is slightly hazy; no head really to speak of given it was on cask, but there were a few minor bubbles.
Very nice hoppy aroma; floral and passion fruits; a sweeter maltiness underlying the solid hop dose in the aroma. In terms of the flavor, the hops actually showed up a little more soapy and the maltiness was a bit sourdoughy rather than sweet. Confused me pretty well. Medium body overall and completely still in terms of carbonation; little oily and slick. Overall, the hops were a bit too muted for my taste in the style. However, a pretty damn decent attempt. Drinkable, and tasty enough. Just wouldn't rush back to another.

Seeing as the only thing separating us from the Cy-Hawk Game is a little more than 72 of the longest hours of the year, I thought I would start this so everyone can share what their plans are for the game this weekend. I was thinking about going to Iowa City, but instead my roommates and I are having some friends over and going to watch it in a group of about 8 or so. Definitely will be watching College GameDay and some other games before this one kicks off, but depending on how it goes I may or may not watch more football afterwards. What about you? Go State!

Drive up to Minnesota for cousin's wedding. Listen to pre-game coverage for as much of the drive as possible. Follow game on my phone until actual ceremony starts. Have friends in-state text me updates while phone is on silent. Celebrate victory with open bar at reception.
Tailgate (If you can call it that.) Followed by watching the game and watching my back from the student section!
Drink and watch game at bar in ames. Thinking either Es Tas or Welch Ave.
Chicago gamewatch at either Fizz or Corcorans.
When Prepared, Fear No One.
PRobably watch at SPortspage in Ankeny

I come back for all the home games (I live in Florida) I will be watching this game at either BWW or Miller's Ale house in Fort Myers, there's usually several other Cyclones there!

wedding in ames starting at 2, thankfully they're having a tv set up in the MU before the reception starts at 5 so we can watch the end

My dads side of the family always has a family reunion that day and we all watch the game. Family is about a 50/50 split for the team they like. It is always a good time.
I think I am going to head to Omaha to the old ladies and find somewhere to watch the game. If I don't, then I have no idea. Probably head to the golf course and listen to the Hawk Homers drone on and on.
They're very, very hard to guard, Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey said. They're really good. And with Niang in the middle kind of wheeling and all those guys spreading you out, they're kind of a nightmare matchup. And they're men. They're really men.
Some genius planned a family reunion on my wife's side for Saturday. It's at a park up in Nashua but hopefully we can eat and run to get to a tv in time to watch the game.
I got invited to the season opener at Lambeau, so I'll be on the road to Green Bay. Radio for me, hopefully can keep control of the vehicle!

Nubka - Unpaid Slave Laborer...
From what I've read elsewhere the actual hardward costs Apple about $5 to $10 (Iphone) so if it is physically damaged or the battery wears out it is not worth repairing. When they charge you $70 to exchange the damaged phone for the new one they are making a huge profit. If you lose the phone you have to pay the "retail" price of $700. To upgrade usually costs $200. I'm not surprised that they aren't concerned with how the employees treat the products in the store, it would cost them more to hire responsible adults and pay them benefits. As far as employees stealing pictures - what do you think happened when you sent your film to the photo lab for processing? Most of these employees are teenagers are you surprised?
It's the Daily Mail. I am a very happy Apple customer and user who had to pay over $100 to repair my BB recently at a private fix it shop. Had it next to my iPad the whole time yet the BB screen went blank and Rogers refused to help. I actually only wanted a cheap replacement but the girl did not even ask me anything. Instead I was told to fix it up the road and handed a card. I was too tired to argue so I went up the road and paid. But I am still unhappy.

The big profit is why there are a TON of small businesses out their that will repair your iPhone or iPod for less than Apple charges. It cost them more than Apple to get the parts but they get them cheaply enough to still make a profit and undercut Apple. Most people when they damage screens are eligible for an upgrade and it's easier for them to pay the $200 (or $100 for a prior model) than to find a place that will repair for less but there are enough cheap people in the world that these companies are everywhere.

Personally I prefer peaches and cherries to apples. The ones you eat that is.

However, that is not even close to what it costs to make the music that goes on the 84 cent CD. You have to pay producers, writers, A&R guys, mixers, instrumentalists, vocalists, editors, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on and on and on. Some producers charge well over $100,000 to do ONE song and an album by a big artist could have at least 5 songs by big producers, some artists have their entire albums done by big time producers/writers and an average album probably has about 12 songs on it. Not saying there is no profit but just looking at the 84 cent cost of manufacturing the physical CD is very misleading.

River Of Dreams
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith
To a river so deep
I must be looking for something
Something sacred I lost
But the river is wide
And it's too hard to cross
And even though I know the river is wide
I walk down every evening and I stand on the shore
And try to cross to the opposite side
So I can finally find out what I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the valley of fear
To a river so deep
And I've been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I would never lose
Something somebody stole
I don't know why I go walking at night
But now I'm tired and I don't want to walk anymore
I hope it doesn't take the rest of my life
Until I find what it is that I've been looking for
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the jungle of doubt
To a river so deep
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined
That it can only be seen
By the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
I'm not sure about a life after this
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We're all carried along
By the river of dreams
In the middle of the night

One of the foundations of the PA suit is that PSU was treated differently than other schools. Like ANY organization there is uneven power and bias among members. O$U broke absolutely clear NCAA rules without question and tried to conceal it. The NCAA worked with O$U and allowed their players to play in the Sugar bowl AFTER all this happened and serve their suspension to start the following year. Of course Gee likes the NCAA as they are... he is in a position to make back room deals that BENEFIT his university in the face of sanctions while other schools like PSU have back room deals forced on them that HARM their university.

Everyone has his own interpretation of course but it's still good to see the one made by writers who's written her. Fans love creators on their favorite characters.

The centerpiece of the second trade of Stephane Richer away from Montreal, and also the trade that rid the franchise of the stain that was Darcy Tucker, Ulanov wasn't ever meant to be a point producer. The 6'3", 220lbs Russian defenseman was a veritable tank on the blueline. The defensive stalwart was a rough edged bright spot on some of the most sad sack teams in the franchise's history.

Yes, we're cheating a little bit here. Francis Bouillon spent most of his career with the Canadiens wearing the number 51, but he'll be wearing 55 when he suits back up whenever the lockout ends. The Canadiens website only lists players under their most recent number, hence why Breezer was 71. So roll with it, people. An undrafted free agent signing by the Habs in 1998, Bouillon doesn't play the way you would think a defenseman his size would play. Marc-Andre Bergeron he is not. He has always had a bit of a chip on his shoulder. His take-no-prisoners play has taken its toll on his body over the years, but it also earned him the affectionate nickname "Frankie the bull", to go alone with the obvious nickname of "Cube", which fits his stocky physique as well as his last name. After 3 years with the Nashville Predators, cut loose in the overhaul of 2009, Bouillon returned to the Canadiens fold this summer.

'Tis the season to carve pumpkins. But what to do with the shavings and filling once your Jack-o'-lantern is all lit up? Try making a skin-nourishing pumpkin mask.
This recipe -- created by Erika Katz, author of Bonding Over Beauty -- is full of exfoliating enzymes that will brighten your skin, giving you a healthy, refreshed glow. Pumpkin is also rich in vitamin A, which can help heal skin and repair damaged tissue. The antioxidant properties of the vitamin A will also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
2 tsp canned pureed pumpkin
1/2 tsp honey
1/4 tsp heavy whipping cream
Mix all ingredients together and apply to face. Leave on for 10 minutes then rinse thoroughly.
