Great Shark News from Delaware and Abroad
This week brought great news for shark populations that are dwindling both in U.S. waters and worldwide. Today, the Delaware House of Representatives introduced a bill prohibiting the possession, trade, sale and distribution of shark fins within the state. If passed, House Bill 41 would make Delaware the first East Coast state to pass a ban on the shark fin trade, following in the footsteps of Oregon, Washington, California, Hawaii and Illinois.
Current federal law prohibits shark finning in U.S. waters, requiring that sharks be brought into port with their fins still attached. However, this law does not prohibit the sale and trade of processed fins that are imported into the country from other regions that could have weak or even nonexistent shark protections in place.
This unsustainable catch is driven by the demand for shark fins, often used as an ingredient in shark fin soup, and kills millions of sharks every year. Delaware's bill would close the loopholes that fuel the trade and demand for fins, and ensure that the state is not a gateway for shark products to enter into other U.S. state markets.
Not only was there great news coming out of the U.S., international shark lovers have reason to celebrate as well. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), voted this week to place stricter regulations on the trade of manta rays, three species of hammerheads, oceanic whitetip and porbeagle sharks, acknowledging that these species are in dire need of protection. When countries export these species, they are required to possess special permits that prove these species were harvested sustainably. This decision will greatly curb illegal overfishing and reduce the numbers of endangered sharks killed globally.

New Report: 100 Million Sharks Are Killed Each Year
There's a new estimate for how many sharks are killed each year by fishermen worldwide and the news is grim. Despite growing awareness of the threat sharks face and legislative efforts around the globe to stem the unsustainable harvest of sharks, a new study published this week in Marine Policy puts the number slaughtered each year at 100 million sharks, or three sharks caught per second.
Due to the incomplete nature of the data for shark catches, that number could be as low as 63 million or as high as 273 million, but both the high and low end estimates are outside of safe biological limits. According to the study's authors, this number represents approximately 7% of all sharks in the ocean. On average, shark populations can grow at a maximum rate of 5% per year. As can be seen, shark populations cannot grow fast enough to sustain this enormous removal each year, which is why sharks numbers have declined so dramatically in recent years.
The primary culprit for this staggering level of exploitation remains the same: overfishing and bycatch, driven by the unabated demand for shark fin soup, the consumption of which is seen as a status symbol in China. The fin itself is a largely flavorless component of the soup and provides no additional nutritional value.
Sharks are especially vulnerable to overfishing due to their slow growth, late maturation and small litters, with biological life histories that more closely resemble large mammals than other fish. Some sharks, like the Atlantic Ocean's dusky shark, do not mature until as late as 21 years of age and give birth to as few as three pups every three years.

Pura vida! (Pure life!)
On February 8, Oceana and National Geographic launched an expedition to explore the waters off of the remote Desventuradas Islands more than 500 miles off the coast of Chile. By documenting marine life and habitat the team hopes to persuade the Chilean government to protect more than 60,000 miles surroundinig this archipelago. Below is an expedition journal entry from Oceana South America Vice President Alex Munoz. Photos © Oceana
After more than a week of expedition, this place continues to surprise us. Yosy discovered a coordinate on the map very close to San Félix that corresponds to a seamount whose peak is only 10 meters deep. This means it is the perfect place to go to with our divers and submarine DeepSee.
We leave early in Argo to look for the seamount. After a few hours, the echo sounder detects 10 meters! Yosy had been right! The group of scientists and cameramen quickly get into the water.
Enric, Avi and I are the fortunate ones that will go in the DeepSee to a completely unknown place. As we start to descend, Avi, our pilot, says, "This is the exact definition of exploration!" And wow, was he right. As my colleagues and I are very excited, before we know it, we have reached 130 meters. Thousands of fish, from brecas to Jack mackerel, sharks to vidriolas surround us.
Free Diver Swims With Great White Shark to Save Them
While we're going to file this under the "don't try this at home" category, a promotional video for the GoPro underwater camera showing a free diver from Hawaii swimming with a great white shark is bringing immense amounts of attention to this majestic predator, and encouraging many to rethink the great white's fearsome "Jaws" reputation.
The video, entitled "A Blonde and a Great White Shark" shows diver Ocean Ramsey (yes, you read that right) approaching a great white shark and stroking the shark's back before gently holding its dorsal fin while it swims through clear azure waters. With more than half a million views, the video, appropriately released on Valentine's Day, shows that the great white shark as a magnificent ocean creature to be respected, loved, and protected, rather than a deadly man-eater to be feared. Ramsey's website, www.waterinspired.com, quotes the Senegalese environmentalist Baba Dioum: " 'In the end people will only protect what they love, and only love what they understand . . .' I hope that by sharing my experiences with sharks I might inspire others to take action and help protect these amazing creatures before it's too late," Ramsey writes.

French Polynesia and the Cook Islands Create World's Largest Shark Sanctuary
With as many as a third of all shark species in the world facing some threat of extinction, the future of sharks has been in peril for some time now. This month, however, French Polynesia and the Cook Islands have taken a stand for sharks, creating adjacent shark sanctuaries covering 2.5 million square miles of ocean – an area nearly equal to the continent of Australia! With this move, French Polynesia and the Cook Islands join Palau, the Maldives, Honduras, the Bahamas, the Marshall Islands, and Tokelau as countries that have created shark sanctuaries, more than doubling the area worldwide now off-limits to shark fishing. This largest sanctuary in the world also bans the possession, sale, or trade of shark products within its boundaries.
On December 6, French Polynesia created the world's largest shark sanctuary at 1.5 million square miles, and the neighboring nation of the Cook Islands followed suit on December 19 with its designation of its entire exclusive economic zone – an area equal to the size of Mexico at 756,000 square miles -- as dedicated shark sanctuary waters. "We are proud as Cook Islanders to provide our entire exclusive economic zone…as a shark sanctuary," Teina Bishop, Cook Island minister of marine resources told BBC News.

Victory! Strict Shark Finning Ban Moves Forward in Europe
Today we moved closer to a complete ban on shark finning in the European Union!
The Fisheries Committee of the European Parliament voted in Brussels today to support a strict ban on shark finning, both in European Union waters and on EU ships worldwide. The European Union contains several major shark fishing nations, responsible for 14% of all reported shark catches worldwide.
This new policy would close loopholes in EU's existing shark finning policy, which allowed some vessels to remove fins at sea. It will have to be approved by the rest of the Parliament before it can go into effect.
Shark finning is a cruel and wasteful practice where fishers cut off a shark's fins, often while it is still alive, and then toss the rest of the shark overboard to die. Sharks everywhere are facing strong fishing pressures, with many species now classified as threatened or endangered. When only fins are collected, more sharks can be caught, and the species may not be identifiable on-shore, putting threatened and endangered sharks at more risk.
The Shark Conservation Act of 2010 made shark finning illegal in US waters, requiring fishers to bring the entire shark to shore. In the EU, shark finning has technically been prohibited since 2003, but the policy voted on today will remove an exemption that allowed some vessels to continue removing fins on-board and made enforcement of the ban difficult.
Put together, EU countries form the largest shark fishing entity in the world, and we are thrilled that the Parliament is taking this important step to protect sharks in their waters, after several years of campaigning by Oceana's team in Europe. "The vote of the Fisheries Committee sends a strong message to the wider Parliament: the EU, which catches the largest share of sharks worldwide, must set a global example when it comes to policy on shark finning," says Xavier Pastor, Executive Direction of Oceana Europe.
Guest Post: Live from the Seafood Summit
Editor's note: This is a guest post by Simone Lewis-Koskinen, Program Assistant at SeaWeb, reporting from the Seafood Summit in Hong Kong. Oceana is a sponsor of the summit.
After many months and several thousand emails, phone calls and meetings, the Seafood Summit has arrived! SeaWeb's 10th Annual Seafood Summit in Hong Kong, kicked off this Wednesday with a series of pre-Summit activities exploring the existing and future horizons of the eco-certification landscape, investment mechanisms for fisheries and local seafood markets. Despite the jet lag, most of the participants were in high spirits and eager to mingle, setting the tone for what's sure to be the best Summit yet.
The following three days will see a flurry of panels, workshops and meetings that get at the heart of some of the most pressing issues facing the seafood industry. From climate change to Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing, the topics run the gamut, promising a healthy dose of debate and discussion.
Panels addressing tuna and shark issues are particularly likely to spark some heated debates given the cultural and traditional ties to the region. From Friday's panel discussion on local trends around shark fins and consumer attitudes, to Saturday's workshop on sustainable shark fisheries, Hong Kong is shaping up to be the perfect place to elevate these dialogues to the next level.
Other sessions likely to provide some interesting food for thought examine the relationship between seafood and the consumer, exploring the various avenues to engage consumers in the discussion. As the Holy Grail for many conservation groups, sessions sharing tools and lessons learned around translating consumer awareness into behavior change are sure to spark a lot of interest.
The Seafood Summit is an annual event hosted by SeaWeb that brings together global representatives from the seafood industry and conservation community for in-depth discussions, presentations and networking around the issue of sustainable seafood. The goal of the Summit is to foster dialogue and partnerships that lead to a seafood marketplace that is environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. The breadth and depth of topics, discussions and perspectives serves as a catalyst for new solutions as one of the premiere events in the seafood community.
Looking back at past Summits, this year's event represents the first steps into new territory. Traditionally held in Europe and North America, bringing the Seafood Summit to Hong Kong is an important step for helping the sustainable seafood movement engage more effectively with the Asian marketplace. Many of the presentations so far have acknowledged the growing role Asia has and will continue to play in the path towards sustainability. In the days, months and years to come, this initial foray will surely be remembered as setting the stage for many of the lasting relationships formed at the 2012 Seafood Summit.

The Myth of the Rogue Shark
That man-eating shark from Jaws may be fictional, but that doesn't stop people from believing that sharks are out to get us — even though it's not true at all.
Chris Neff, a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney, gave this talk at TEDxSydney about his research on the politics of shark attacks. In it, he identifies the three main misconceptions when it comes to shark-human interactions:
1. Sharks do not "attack".
2. Rogue sharks don't exist.
3. People don't always react negatively to sharks following a shark bite.
Stories of sharks biting humans are uncommon, but get a lot of media attention when they do happen and are often sensationalized. A recent increase in shark accidents in Sydney, Australia prompted calls for a massive culling of the shark population.
But the thing is, sharks aren't attacking humans maliciously. As Neff says, "trying to govern ungovernable events distracts us from real shark bite prevention." Instead of killing even more of these important predators, we should be restricting areas where humans can swim and dive and changing our own behavior to prevent future accidents.
Because when it comes to sharks, "we're in the way, not on the menu."
Top 5 Myths About Sharks
Happy Shark Week!
Sharks are the center of a lot of stories and urban legends, but you might be surprised by the truth behind some of the most common myths about sharks. In honor of Shark Week, we're going to dispel some of the major myths surrounding sharks and shark behavior.
MYTH #1: All sharks are voracious predators, looking to attack anything in sight, including humans.
FACT: While some shark species do have aggressive tendencies, most hunt only to find food (and humans aren't on the menu). Just like other top predators, sharks make a meal out of animals lower in the food web, keeping the ocean habitat in balance. Only a few species have been known to attack humans unprovoked, and that's often because of poor visibility or inquisitive bites. There are even species, like the whale shark and the basking shark, that are filter feeders that eat fish eggs, krill, and other microorganisms in the water.
MYTH #2: Sharks do not attack at midday.
FACT: It's true that there are fewer attacks in the middle of the day, but that's not because sharks aren't active then—it's because everybody's out of the water eating lunch. Sharks are most active at dawn and dusk, but it's possible to encounter at shark at nearly any time of day.
MYTH #3: Sharks have walnut-sized brains.
FACT: Sharks are actually pretty smart! They have some of the largest brains in the fish world (along with their close relatives, rays), and their brain-to-body size ratios are similar to birds and mammals. Sharks have been known to exhibit complex social behavior, curiosity, and play in the wild. Many species live in groups and hunt in packs.
MYTH #4: In order to stay alive, a shark must constantly be moving.
FACT: The movement of swimming allows water to pass over a shark's gills so that they can breathe, but some species have adaptations that allow them to stay still and breathe at the same time. When resting, some sharks can lie on the sea floor and actively pump water over their gills.
MYTH #5: Sharks have no predators.
FACT: Yes it's true that sharks are at the top of the food chain, but they have a very powerful predator: humans. Each year, tens of millions of sharks are killed for their fins, sport, or caught and killed as bycatch. By removing so many of these important predators without allowing them time to restore their populations, we're disrupting the balance of the marine food web.
The great white shark, the most iconic shark in the ocean, faces serious threats off the West coast of the United States. Only a few hundred are left, and their populations aren't recovering quickly — unless we do something. Sign today to help improve protections for great white sharks in the Pacific.
Get Ready for Shark Week 2012

Memphis Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph has been fined $25,000 by the NBA for confronting Oklahoma City's Kendrick Perkins following both their ejections in a game last week.
The fine was announced Monday by Stu Jackson, the league's executive vice president of basketball operations.
Randolph and Perkins were each ejected for an altercation with 2:05 remaining in the fourth quarter of Memphis' 107-97 win in Oklahoma City on November 14. Perkins and Randolph confronted each other between Russell Westbrook's free throw attempts and were both tossed.
The two tried to approach each other while being restrained by teammates before finally heading out tunnels at opposite ends of Chesapeake Energy Arena. Randolph then talked to Perkins near the locker room, drawing the fine.

Hall of Fame trainer Emanuel Steward was celebrated by boxing royalty and the Queen of Soul at a star-studded memorial service Tuesday November 13 in the Motor City.
Steward, the man who made the Kronk Gym famous, died of colon cancer last month at the age of 68.
His family took its time to plan a memorial befitting a beloved public figure — and it was a hit.
Champions he trained — including Thomas Hearns, Lennox Lewis, Wladimir Klitschko and Evander Holyfield — one he worked out only briefly — Sugar Ray Leonard — and another he didn't train at all — Roy Jones Jr. — all paid their respects.
"What a spectacular turnout of support," HBO Sports commentator Jim Lampley said. "Over here, you have a section that I would call the Hall of Fame section. You would have to go to Canastota (N.Y.) in midsummer to the Hall of Fame to see anything even remotely approaching this group.
"There are five legitimate heavyweight champions sitting in the first two rows and the No. 1 pound-for-pound fighter in the world."
And if that wasn't impressive enough, Aretha Franklin sang a stirring rendition of "I'll Fly Away" in front of a few thousand witnesses at Greater Grace Temple. Franklin, a friend of Steward's in Detroit for decades, said she wouldn't have missed the memorial for anything.
"He had a million-dollar smile you couldn't deny," Franklin told The Associated Press from her front-row seat. "I'm so glad he made the Kronk Gym what it was, helping countless young boys become men and many amateurs become champions."
The city closed the original Kronk Recreation Center — a hot, sweaty basement gym — after vandals stole its copper piping in 2006. It was allowed to remain open, but it put Steward in a difficult financial situation and he later rented space at a gym in Dearborn so his young fighters could train.
Now, there isn't a Kronk Gym anywhere — and his family is hoping to change that.
"We closed it after he passed, but we're going to restructure it and we want it done correctly," Sylvia Steward-Williams told The AP, sitting in her father's second-floor office at his brick home on Detroit's west side. "We want to get a good foundation, like it was in the beginning, and build it back up."
Steward, who was born in West Virginia in 1944 and moved 11 years later to the Motor City, trained boxers born and raised in Detroit such as Hearns. He was hired by boxers from all over the globe.
Lewis was trained by Steward from 1994 to 2004, a period that included victories over Holyfield and Mike Tyson.
"I've been interviewed by a lot of TV stations around the world, they have put Emanuel Steward a league of great trainers," Lewis said. "And I say he is the greatest trainer that ever lived."
Steward was an accomplished amateur boxer who chose to become a coach in the ring, starting in 1971 with a part-time position at Kronk for $35 per week.
Hearns put the gym — and the trainer affectionately called Manny — on the map. Hearns was the first man to win titles in four divisions and he won five overall.
The boxer known as Hitman lost some of his most famous bouts. Hearns was knocked out in the 14th round by Leonard in 1981 — a fight that Steward later said was the most painful experience of his life — and was on the short end of a three-round fight with Marvin Hagler in 1985 that is considered one of the best bouts in history.
On an emotional day, which started in the morning with family, close friends and former fighters gathering at two homes Steward owned, Hearns was so overcome with emotion when he stepped up to the pulpit that he had to step back, wipe tears off his cheeks and gather himself.
"If it wasn't for Emanuel Steward, it would be very difficult to be where I am today," Hearns said. "He wasn't just a trainer to me, he was like a dad."
Jones was trained by his father, and he told the AP he wished his mother hadn't talked him out of hiring Steward to be his trainer when he turned pro.
When Jones got behind the microphone at the memorial, he compared Steward to Michael Jordan and Barry Sanders — one-of-a-kind talents that can't be replaced — and said he has always carried a red-and-yellow Kronk Gym bag to every fight.
"There was no other gym on the planet that produced that much talent," he said. "I may not be a Kronk fighter by contact, but by heart I am."
Steward suffered cardiac arrest while he was hospitalized near Chicago last month, and it proved too much to overcome as he also fought cancer. Just three days after retaining his three heavyweight titles in Germany, Klitschko traveled to Detroit with fresh bruises and cuts on his face to honor Steward, his trainer and friend.
"Emanuel Steward lives in the hearts of each of us," he said. "Not just the people present in this room — the people around the world."
Klitschko's new trainer is fellow heavyweight Johnathon Banks, a Detroit native who was trained by Steward. When Banks arrived at Steward's house on Tuesday, Sylvia Steward-Williams hugged him and shared four words that left him in awe.
"It's your time now," the trainer's eldest daughter whispered in his ear.
"I never expected that to come out of her mouth, especially to me," he said softly. "But those are shoes that will never be filled. There's no replacement for Emanuel. I'm just pouring water on the seed he already planted."
A private dinner and party in Detroit followed the service.

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly believes Everett Golson is ready for what awaits him at Southern California.
He believes the 6-0, 185-pound sophomore quarterback who did not play as a freshman is ready. Ready for the pressure of leading the Fighting Irish (11-0) on the field ranked No. 1 for the first time in 19 years. Ready for a rivalry game that has been dominated over the past decade by USC (7-4). Ready to help Notre Dame advance to the BCS title game with a win.
Kelly said he bases that opinion by the maturity Golson has shown as he's improved throughout the season, playing in tough venues such as Michigan State and Oklahoma and rallying the Irish from a two-touchdown deficit in the fourth quarter against Pittsburgh to a triple-overtime victory.
"All of those things go into Saturday and all of those will be positives for him going into the USC game," Kelly said.
Golson said he is feeling more comfortable because of all he's learned and he has learned to manage the clock better so he doesn't have to rush each play.
"I think I've progressed a lot," he said.
Golson keeps doing a lot more of the little things right and it's leading to more big plays for the Irish. He waited until the last second to pitch the ball to set up Cierre Wood's 68-yard touchdown run on the fourth play against Wake Forest. He had TD passes of 50 and 34 yards against Wake Forest, and the second came after a nice pump fake.
Slowly, Golson has turned what had been an at-best average offense into one that opponents are increasingly having trouble slowing down.
"He's a guy that makes explosive plays," Kelly said. "He's got the ability to throw it. He can run the football. He's elusive. I think we're seeing a guy that's growing each and every week."
Through Notre Dame's first five games, Golson was 67-of-111 passing for 827 yards with three touchdown passes and three interceptions, with a pass efficiency rating of 126.46. He also had run for 40 yards on 27 carries.
In the last five games, after sitting out against BYU with a concussion, Golson is 84-of-145 passing for 1,091 yards with eight touchdowns and two interceptions, a pass efficiency rating completion rate of 136.58. He's also run for 202 yards on 53 carries — and that includes just one carry in the win over Wake Forest.
The Irish have improved during that span from 71st in the nation in total offense, averaging 398.4 yards a game, to 50th, averaging 419.7.
"He's definitely on the right path to providing us the offense that we need," Kelly said.
The coach admitted he hasn't run Golson as much as he'd like because he still needs to get stronger.
"He still needs another coat of armor on him. He needs another year in the weight room and he needs to get thicker. We want to be judicious when we run him," Kelly said. "We've got to run him. He's better when he runs, physically and mentally. He loves to run."
Golson is the fourth quarterback in Notre Dame history to start his career with nine straight victories. He would have 10 straight if he hadn't been benched the first three plays against Miami. The school record is 11 wins by Bob Williams during the national championship season of 1949.
Last week, the focus was working on footwork and communicating with teammates, calling plays and then checking into different plays. Kelly had Golson watching film of Peyton Manning and other quarterbacks.
"Manning is probably one of the great communicators, his ability to get into plays and check and do it efficiently," Kelly said. "We try to use some of the greats to show some things that could be helpful."
As for the pressure of playing at USC with Notre Dame eager to win its first national championship since 1988, Golson said he's taking the same attitude he's taken all year of focusing on the opponent and not worrying about the big picture.
"As far as I'm concerned, my head is down, my foot's on the gas, I'm never going to look up and lose focus," he said. "My thing is just keep your head down and keep pushing it."
By Kenneth Miller
LA Watts Times
To this very day it is a real head scratcher as to why the man who is statistically the greatest basketball player to ever live has been punished for what absolutely has nothing to do with the game of basketball.
The Lakers will unveil a statue of Kareem Abdul Jabbar on Nov. 16 in front of Star Plaza at Staples Center, roughly 23 years to the day he played his last basketball game for the team.
By the time they erect his signature skyhook on Friday there will be more statues in front of the building than cars in the Petersen Automobile Museum.
Let's see there is Jerry West, Magic Johnson, Wayne Gretzky, Chick Hearn and Oscar De La Hoya. Did I miss anyone?
Perhaps someone will think of a reason to add another one before 'The Captain' as Hearn aptly described him gets his ceremony.
Some may scoff, what's the big deal at least he's getting one!
No slight to Magic, whom we all love and West an all time favorite, but we are only talking about a man who is the all time NBA scoring leader with 38,387 points, six regular season MVPs, holds records for games played, minutes played, field goals made and attempted, blocked shots and defensive rebounds.
This elegant royal knight for the game of basketball who appeared on no less than 25 covers of Sports Illustrated magazine, played in a record 19 NBA All Star Games, but could not get a sniff for a head coaching job after his playing career was over, and literarily had to bend his 7-foot-2 frame to secure a measly special assistant or scout position, and was subsequently regulated to coaching an obscure high school team on an Indian reservation. Are you kidding me!
No one ever said that life would be kind, but for a man who came west from Manhattan NY after leading his high school team to a 79-2 record at Power Memorial, led UCLA to consecutive NCAA titles from 1967-1969 as a three time first team all American---basketball life has been cruel to him.
Jabbar, who changed his name in 1968 from Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor when he joined the Nation of Islam, was the only child of a department store checker and a father who was a transit police officer and jazz musician.
I am not attempting to apologize for the greatest player to ever live, I am merely writing the facts.
This is a man who lists Jackie Robinson, Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Harriett Tubman and Alexander Hamilton among his heroes.
He was castigated, judged and evaluated through every human microscope imaginable.
Magic Johnson penned that Kareem refused to sign an autograph for him as a child, reporters who begged to get a closer introspective roused that he was distant and uncooperative.
They clamored to shake hands and hug him after a hard fought basketball game, Kareem wanted to shower and go home.
This is a man who was far more intelligent than your avid jock. He read books and studied the history of such men as Wild Bill Hickock, Thelonious Monk all while absorbing musicians such as Quincy Jones, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Freddie Hubbard, Count Basie, Sarah Vaughn.
His game trumpeted over all others as his trademark sky hook played out in a symphonic rhythm that gracefully carried teams in Milwaukee and Los Angeles to NBA championships.
Kareem was the centerpiece to it all. The mastery of Oscar Roberson with the Bucks and then Magic Johnson of the 'Showtime' Lakers were glue sticks.
Magic was a wide-eyed freak point guard at 6'8 and Kareem who undoubtedly only found peace when the lights were lit at the Great Western Forum, was a sight to behold.
Pat Riley emerged from the broadcast booth and rode those giant shoulders to a Hall of Fame coaching career.
Magic, or Buck as he was called then gave 'The Big Fella" a reason to smile, albeit reluctantly.
Through the aperture of his eyes through sweat-fogged goggles, Kareem saw the world and America for what it was, unapologetic to his kind, but instead of fighting it, he studied.
While Malcolm X was being gunned down by one of his own, Kareem prayed. When Dr. King was being hosed and jailed, he solemnly prayed.
Kareem refused to subject himself as a basketball lab rat that would be queried by white journalists who later aspired to be his friend.
What others say made him aloof and distant also made him great.
This week his bronze statue comes during a time when he is so removed from the game of basketball as a Cultural Ambassador to the United States.
Then on Saturday he will be celebrated in a roast that will benefit his Skyhook Foundation at the Ritz Carlton. Funnyman George Lopez will host the all-star gala and Magic will be among the guests.
Kareem Abdul Jabbar's legacy was secure a long time ago before his famed number 33 was retired to the rafters at Staples.

My teaching and research is in the literature and culture of the English middle ages. I have particular interests in the interactions of literature, civic culture, and political thought with Christian belief and practice between the "two reformations" (the twelfth-century reformation and its sixteenth-century counterpart); in the history and effects of the disciplinary divide between the medieval and the early modern; in medieval women's visionary writing and mysticism; and in early drama, especially in relation to performance and ritual theory.
At the heart of my scholarship at present are the twin themes of the city, specifically late-medieval London, and mortality, specifically late-medieval death practice. My book, Learning to Die in London, 1380-1530, argues that the structured awareness of death and mortality was in several ways a vital aspect of medieval civic culture, critical not only to the shaping of single lives and the management of families and households but also to the practices of cultural memory, the building of institutions, and the good government of the city itself. This project has been supported by the Stanford Humanities Center (2010-11), and by the Boston University Center for the Humanities (2012-13). I have published articles on Middle English poetry, late medieval visionary writing, fifteenth-century urban culture, and Shakespeare.
I also teach courses in Chaucer, romance, history of sexuality, history of the English language, as well as medieval and early modern poetry. My aim in teaching premodern literature is to share with students the excitement of an encounter with historical distance. Difficulty of comprehension directs our attention to an opening of a critical space, a gap in thought that allows us to reflect on the historicity of our sense of self, language, and world.

The brand's #StartHappy campaign includes a hub and videos, as well as a partnership with LinkedIn that will give away 25,000 pairs of underwear.
Clothing brand Fruit of the Loom wants Americans to harness the so-called power of positive underwear in Start Happy, a new campaign that includes a microsite, videos and free undies.
Calling it "empowering yet light-hearted," Fruit of the Loom says Start Happy was inspired by unlocking "a very simple but universal truth -- the underwear you put on in the morning has the power to set the tone for your entire day."
The brand calls this the "power of positive underwear" and says the campaign focuses on the difference positive underwear can make, while underscoring Fruit of the Loom's "commitment to excellent fit."
The campaign includes a hub on the brand's website, the Start Happy HQ, which includes video, a slideshow with images of Start Happy billboards and the ability to tweet with #starthappy. It also alludes to upcoming promotions called Fresh Gigs and Lucky Looms.
The first promotion, Fresh Gigs, consists of a media buy with professional network LinkedIn.
According to Lindsay Porter, senior brand communications manager for Fruit of the Loom, LinkedIn users who change their profiles to reflect new jobs starting October 15 will receive a message with an offer for a free pair of underwear in a special box, with messaging about a fresh pair for a fresh start.
The brand will give out 5,000 pairs a week for five weeks, says Tony Calcao, executive vice president and executive creative director at digital agency CP+B, which created the campaign.
Fresh Gigs will also encourage participants to share stories of their fresh starts.
"If you're starting a new job, what better way to start than with Fruit of the Loom? It's as simple has that," Calcao adds.
More information on Fresh Gigs will be available October 22 on the Start Happy website.
Porter says Fruit of the Loom wants to tap into key moments in time with, as the name implies, the idea of starting happy.
"When it comes to underwear, you don't think much about it day to day unless something's wrong or it doesn't fit well, so we thought, 'Let's reposition it to make it more special and give underwear a bit more importance in your day,'" Calcao says. "If it isn't fitting you, you're not in a good mood and it's going to mess with your day, so we wanted to get people to think about their mornings and think about it a little differently. That's where the tagline 'Start Happy' comes from. With a good-fitting pair of underwear, you'll have a happy day."
Porter says the campaign targets consumers "in a particular mindset."
"We want to reach [consumers] who are optimistic, ambitious and confident in their own skin... a job change echoes ambition and positive sentiments and is a good reflection of that target," she adds.
Two 30-second TV spots airing on shows like Modern Family, The New Girl and The Biggest Loser, as well as shows on cable networks, kick off the campaign.
According to Fruit of the Loom, the spots "playfully dramatize the importance of great fitting underwear and the role they play in your day...and illustrate how great-fitting underwear can give you the confidence to make great things happen in your world."
The spots include Speedy Boxers, which has 266,000 views as of October 10, and Panty Stunt, which has 281,000 views.
Additional promotion includes digital ads and banners, as well as a takeover of the brand's Facebook page.
Fruit of the Loom has 433,000 likes and 2,100 followers.
It is using #freshgigs and #starthappy to promote the campaign.

Exchange Server Cookbook (Paperback)
|Author: Paul/ Koslosky Robichaux
Product Details:
|Ask network administrators what their most critical computer application is, and most will say "email" without a moment's hesitation. If you run a network powered by Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Exchange occupies much of your time. According to Microsoft, 110 million Exchange seats have been deployed, but 60% of you are still running Exchange 5.5. That's a problem, because the difference between version 5.5 and the more efficient Exchange 2000 and Exchange Server 2003 is profound.
Don't fret. "Exchange Server Cookbook offers you a comprehensive how-to guide to these newer versions of Exchange. You'll find quick solutions for the most common tasks you need to perform--everything from installation and maintenance to configuration and optimization, with proven recipes for the most useful tools and utilities. The book also has solutions to some uncommon tasks (that you may not know are possible) and advanced procedures that aren't part of day-to-day operations. These include tasks for critical situations, such as using a recovery storage group.
Our reliable desktop reference even shows you how to write scripts for Exchange management and deployment tasks. That's right. While not every Exchange job can be scripted, many can, and we provide lots of working VBScript examples for accomplishing particular goals. Whatever your particular need, you'll find it quickly, because chapters in this Cookbook are laid out by recipe, with cross references to other pertinent solutions in the book. With this guide, you'll learn:
The relationship between Exchange and Active Directory
When to use the GUI, the command line, or scripting
How to prepare forests, domains, andservers
How to use Group Policy to control Exchange
Diagnostic logging, measure performance, and administrative privileges
Recipient management: user accounts, mailboxes, mail-enabled groups
Mailbox and public folder database management
Message routing and transport functions
Security, backup, restore, and recovery operations
For every question you have about Exchange 2000 or Exchange Server 2003, our Cookbook has the answer--one that you can find and implement without a moment's hesitation.

A secret weapon no more, the army of volunteers that the Nebraska State Fair has used are a big part of the fair's success.
Last year, 880 volunteers contributed more than 12,000 hours of service.
But this year they're behind that pace, and need more help.
Many keep coming back year after year.
That includes Billie Herron. She said, "I love it. It's the best way to enjoy the fair. You get to sit here and say hi to all the people. If you were just here at the fair, you wouldn't turn around, and even notice. When you volunteer, you say 'hi, how's it going.'"
Those volunteers have begun getting things set, putting items on display, and helping as needed.
But more are needed. Those interested are encouraged to call the Grand Island Chamber of Commerce at 308-382-9210.

"Up Close & Personal" with Bassist Mr. "Michael Manson"
Join us as if we feature one amazing bassist taking his music to what I thought to be impossible to do and take his new release to an all new level...Michael Manson's latest release "Thumpin" is one of, if not the best release of the summer!! Here is what some have to say!!...
If you like "LIVE" music albums, you'll love this set. It's rockin' from the first to the last song. MM and his band are some of the most talented smooth jazz artists that I've ever experienced. Khari Parker on the drums is the man. He's sets a strong groove and everybody else just lays in the "cut" so to speak. Your head and feet will move the entire concert. That's what it feels like on a good stereo or surround setup. You won't be disappointed. The recording quality is top notch and you can hear ALL of the musicians and background singers. Just Superb. W. Harrison- Fan
"One of Smooth Jazz's most creative and explosive bassists, Chicago-based Michael Manson has put out some great studio discs - but nothing tops the wild abandon and all-out joy of his live performances. So it's exciting that he's giving us his unfiltered, hard groovin' best on THUMPIN' LIVE, a 16-track set CD/DVD of the multi-talented artist at his best. In addition to expansive romps through his popular tunes like "Outer Drive," key tracks include the soulful, swaying "Just One Touch" and the brassy, heavy bottom way out rockin' funk of "The Bottom Line," fashioned as a tribute to his late hero George Duke, whom Manson first played with on Kirk Whalum's "The Gospel According To Jazz" in 1997. Nobody does THUMPIN' LIVE better than Manson!" ~JONATHAN WIDRAN Smooth Jazz.com
personal empowerment With Jean Meltesen
in Spirituality
Today Jean Maurie and Maggie Lukowski are excited to have Jean Meltesen as our guest.
Jean Meltesen is a personal freedom coach, spiritual counselor, author, and practitioner of energy psychology, with special emphasis on Emotional Freedom technique or EFT, also known as tapping. Jean has had advanced training and experience in EFT. She has also studied and practiced reiki, healing touch and quantum touch, and has had more than thirty-five years of spiritual study in multiple traditions and philosophies.
Because of her profound experiences with tapping, which greatly assisted her own healing process when other modalities failed, her practice with clients focuses mainly on EFT, with consistent and powerful benefits of releasing trapped emotions, dismantling limiting beliefs and belief systems, letting go of the effects of trauma, releasing physical pain, and eliminating phobias and addictions, as well as shifting perspectives on success, money, relationships, and many other areas, especially those of self-love, self-forgiveness, and personal freedom.
Jean's practice also includes veterans diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress, and she participates as an EFT practitioner in healing retreats for veterans and their partners, using EFT to support veterans in releasing the effects of combat, as well as assisting their partners to relieve associated stress from living with the traumatized veteran. Jean finds this work deeply rewarding, and it is in alignment with her greatest passion of supporting clients in finding true personal freedom through self-love and self-forgiveness.
Jean currently lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She works in person or by skype or phone, and can be reached by email or phone:

Up Close & Personal with Jazz-Soul-Funk Keyboardist Greg Manning
jazz, funk, and soul
Swiss-American keyboardist Greg Manning has performed on stages throughout the U.S., Europe, United Kingdom, and Asia. Manning's use of jazz, funk, and soul, to create simplistic yet, complex compositions, are blended with precise timbre and intricate instrumentation. They are rich in texture, and identifiably this recording artist's distinctive imprint of Soul-Jazz.
While growing up in Zurich, Switzerland, Manning was mostly exposed to Jazz by his parents. Yet, he discovered his deep love for music only after hearing "Isn't She Lovely" by the legendary Stevie Wonder.
He started playing the piano at age 12. Several years later, he moved to the U.S. to study piano and film scoring at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. It was during this time his break came. Manning was asked to compose the music for "Keep Cool", the most successful and longest running German language musical. The musical led him back to Zurich, Switzerland, where he continued to compose and produce for records and television.
Up Close & Personal with Rob Maletick , Big NY & The Smooth Jazz Allstars
With his fourth solo release (Back Home) on C.A.R. Records, Saxophonist Rob Maletick expresses his love for music by melting together the various styles of musical expression that have made him a sought after musician on stage and in the recording studio. During his 8+ years in the recording industry, Rob has played almost every style of music possible on his 3 saxophones, but has landed in Gospel and Jazz music for his foundation. Often called upon for his "anointed expression" as one radio DJ calls it, Rob has succeeded in creating his own style of Inspirational Jazz that is easily heard on Smooth Jazz radio and Gospel radio simultaneously.
Born and raised in the Washington D.C. suburb of Manassas Virginia, Rob was able to surround himself with music at an early age. Having
music teachers for parents didn't hurt either. After High School, Shenandoah University became Rob's home for 4 years. Learning about the Music Business and Jazz Performance there put him in numerous situations in which he was able to perform with legends Billy Taylor, Bob Berg, and Randy Brecker. Rob credits saxophone professor Joe Eckert with guiding his playing in the right direction throughout the college years.
Big NY, Christian De Mesones, Willie Bradley and Elliott Levine will be stopping by to promote Saturday's Show at K-2 Lounge in Woodbridge VA

'Up Close & Personal" with Saxophonist "Jeff Antoniuk"
in Music
Jeff Antoniuk and The Jazz Update
Saxophonist Jeff Antoniuk is internationally respected as a jazz composer and musician. Now living in Annapolis, Maryland, the Canadian born artist appears on numerous recordings and has been consistently well received by critics.
With a master's degree from the University of North Texas in jazz performance and West African ethnomusicology, Antoniuk spent a decade touring and recording with the Unified Jazz Ensemble. In 2004, he formed his own heavy hitting quartet, the Jazz Update.
The group celebrated the release of their first album together in 2007. Brimming with Antoniuk originals and luscious covers, the CD Here Today quickly climbed the jazz radio charts in the US and Canada and achieved stellar success in the world of high tech music sourced through high speed cable, Internet and broadband.
With the quartet's 2010 album Brotherhood Antoniuk and company step out with fresh, memorable, and beautifully executed compositions. The progressive jazz disc delivers sophisticated and compelling rhythm, melody and harmony. Its global themes are brought home with depth and humor. Brotherhood began receiving significant airplay and advance sales even before the official release date.
Popular shows at Blues Alley, the Kennedy Center, the Smithsonian and U Street clubs show the Jazz Update to be equally adept at live performance. The group surprises and satisfies wherever they perform.

The U.S. Government taxes many of our lifestyle decisions, to deter us from making unhealthy choices for ourselves as well as the environment. They tax cigarettes to reduce the prevalence of lung cancer, gasoline consumption to protect the environment, alcohol to decrease health-related problems such as cirrhosis and now, the Government is taxing indoor tanning in order to prevent Melanoma.
Sonography, also known as ultrasound scanning or imaging, is a non-invasive diagnostic procedure where high-frequency sound waves are applied to parts of the body to produce images of otherwise obscured internal organs and blood flow. While people most commonly associate ultrasounds with prenatal care, it is a widely used medical test that helps medical professionals diagnose and treat tons of different conditions.
Many people are not familiar with the term 'polysomnography,' but are very aware of the science of sleep. And that's just what polysomnography is. It's the diagnostic method of acquiring a comprehensive reading of the biophysical changes that occur during sleep.

Baby's first bath can be a scary business for new parents. Here's how to make sure it's a relaxed and soothing experience… for everyone!
1. At first, you'll only need to bath your baby a few times a week, "topping and tailing" her (clean his face, tummy and bottom area) on non-bath days.
2. As soon as you think your baby is ready for a daily bath, make it predictable and comforting by following a regular routine. Have everything you need to hand before you start, and make sure the bathroom is warm.
3. Once you're ready, run the bath. You can use a baby bath but some parents prefer to bath their baby in the basin – it's a good height for you and the perfect size for baby.
4. The best way to avoid scalding your baby is to run some cold water first, then top up with warm water to a safe temperature (check it with your elbow or with a bath thermometer – it should be warm, not hot, between 36-38°C). Keep the water shallow – around 5-8cm is deep enough – and mix it to prevent hot or cold spots.
5. Place the change mat on the bathroom floor, covered in a towel, and undress your baby down to him nappy, then wrap him in the towel.
6. Keeping your tot wrapped in his towel on your knee, use separate pieces of cotton wool soaked in a little cool, boiled water and baby wash to clean his face, ears, around each eye and neck, paying attention to all the little creases under his chin and folds in his neck.
7. Next unwrap your baby's towel, remove his nappy, and carefully lower him into the water. Hold him firmly around his upper back, grasping his opposite upper arm so he rests securely along your forearm, or use a baby bath support. Never leave him unsupervised in the bath, even for a second.
8. Wash him with a mild, pH neutral body wash. For gentle hair cleansing, use a 'no tears' formula. Apply with your free hand, then rinse well. You can use mild baby body wash on his bottom area, or add a small drop of almond oil to the bath – this is a gentle way to keep newborn skin soft.
9. After a few minutes' play, lift him out of the bath with care, and wrap him in a cuddle robe or towel. Once he's dry, apply baby lotion before dressing him ready for bed.
10. If your baby always cries at bathtime, cut the number of baths to two or three a week, and just clean his face and bottom area on the change mat in between, using cotton wool and cool, boiled water.
What you'll need for baby bathtime
- Non-slip bath mat and/or bath support, if using the large bath
- Bath thermometer
- Clean, dry towel or two (kept for baby's use only)
- Gentle baby wash
- Cotton wool and cotton buds (never insert into ear canal)
- Changing mat, plus fresh nappy, nappy cream and clothes

About This Performance
Orchestral soundscapes in kaleidoscopic colors! Come hear what Dudamel and the Phil conjure in an evening of dazzling showpieces topped by that ultimate sonic blockbuster, Pictures at an Exhibition. Musical depictions of graphic images are the theme of this thrill ride.
Come for: Dudamel conducting a piece by his predecessor as Music Director, Esa-Pekka Salonen.
And more: The Swiss Symbolist Arnold Böcklin painted five slightly different versions of the painting known as The Isle of the Dead between 1880 and 1885. Rachmaninoff was inspired by a monochrome reproduction, and his interpretation of it begins softly and darkly, in 5/8 waves that build as the island is approached by boat.

5S's M7 vs. N5's tracking sensor
I wanted to pose this question to the great people of The Verge: What are the differences and similarities of the M7 in the 5S and the tracker that's in the N5?
Apple gives things names and tech bloggers write a million articles about it (just google M7 and see what you find), but I don't think I've seen one review/hands-on that mentions and goes into detail about the tracker that's in the N5 and what it does and can enable in future apps. I'm currently reading Anandtech's M7 article.
