Crying wolf as the predator returns
|| Print |
|Archives - June 2009

Admit it: We're all a little afraid of the Big Bad Wolf. But after wolves killed 24 lambs and a calf in Baker County in April, ranchers in Eastern Oregon are more than a little afraid.
The attacks plus the removal of the gray wolf from the national endangered species list in May caused a long-simmering conflict between ranchers and conservationists to boil over.
Since the wolf is still under state endangered species protection, ranchers cannot go beyond "hazing" — yelling or throwing things at the wolves — or they risk penalties.
Wolves haven't attacked livestock in more than 50 years. In 1843, the threat from predators to cattle, sheep and hogs spurred Oregon's 250 scattered settlers to form a government. Oregon's first law placed bounties on dead wolves: 50 cents for a small wolf, $3 for a big one. By 1946, the wolf had been driven from Oregon.
It's really fear of the unknown, not livestock losses, that provokes such a strong reaction from ranchers, says Suzanne Stone, a representative for the national nonprofit Defenders of Wildlife. Wolf depredation accounts for less than 1% of livestock losses in Idaho, where there are close to 850 wolves, according to the USDA.
"Ranchers have been losing livestock to a number of causes for years, and to have such a strong reaction to wolves based on a couple dozen sheep and one calf is not the kind of reaction you'd see if this had been a domestic dog or black bears," Stone says.
But ranchers like Mike Colton, a member of the Oregon Cattleman's Association Wolf Task Force, say the death toll shouldn't matter.
"We have to have the right to protect ourselves and protect our livestock," Colton says, adding that it is hard for people who don't live with predators to understand.
Curt Jacobs, who lost the 24 lambs, and Tik Moore, who lost the one calf, ultimately took a more moderate position than some ranchers who have never met the wolf. Jacobs and Moore went to Salem in April to ask the House Agriculture, Natural Resources and Rural Communities Committee to introduce a priority bill granting the right to shoot wolves caught in the act of attacking livestock, but not the right to track and kill them.
"They're here, I think we need to learn to live with them," says Moore, whose calf was killed 300 yards from where he sleeps. "We need a management plan that allows the wolves to exist but protects my rights as a rancher."

Players reviewing latest offer from NHL
Union leader Fehr not exactly enthused
NEW YORK -- With the possibility of another lockout beginning to loom large, the NHL took what commissioner Gary Bettman termed a "significant" and "meaningful" step in negotiations on Tuesday.
It remains to be seen whether the players' association shares that view.
Related Items
Collective bargaining talks resumed with the NHL tabling a proposal Bettman hailed as being much stronger than the initial one put forth by the league on July 13. He didn't provide specific details, but a source told The Canadian Press the offer would see the players' share of revenue reduced to 51.6 per cent in the first year of the deal and 50.5 per cent in the second -- and wouldn't include a rollback on existing contracts.
"It was a proposal that we believe is significant and had meaningful movement," said Bettman. "It was also designed to address issues that they've raised with us and to address the proposal they last made to us in terms of structure and format."
The union is expected to provide a response when the sides meet again today. Executive director Donald Fehr first wanted to take more time to evaluate the deal more closely.
However, the early word leaking from the players' side was they weren't enamoured with what was put forward -- and Fehr hardly sounded enthused.
"It's a proposal that we intend to respond to," he said. "I'm just going to leave it at that."
The players received 57 per cent of revenues under the expiring agreement and the NHL's original proposal called for that number to be scaled back to 43 per cent. The union countered with an offer that would see it fall around 54 per cent for three years before returning to 57 per cent in the fourth.
With the NHL's latest offer, the sides appear to be creeping a little closer on what they've been referring to as the "core economic issue."
According to a source, Tuesday's proposal from the NHL called for a six-year deal -- the first three delinked from hockey-related revenues and the last three coming with a 50-50 split (when factoring in a redefinition of HRR). As a result, the salary cap would climb from $58 million in 2012-13 to approximately $71 million in 2017-18, the last season of the contract.
Pressure is mounting with the CBA set to expire Sept. 15 and the league having already stated it will lock the players out if a new agreement isn't in place by then.
There's a growing feeling throughout the sport that it's an inevitability. Minnesota Wild forward Zach Parise, who signed a monster US$98-million, 13-year deal in free agency, became the latest to voice that opinion this week when he told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that "Gary's pretty adamant about his third lockout of his tenure."
On Tuesday, Bettman expressed hope the league's latest proposal would start focusing the discussion at the bargaining table.
"We need to get on the same page on the economics and we're hoping that by virtue of the proposal we made today that there will be some traction and that there will be a framework for the negotiation," he said.

Wellness campaign promotes healthBack

Crossroads operations fleet supervisor Shola Naidoo says the wellness campaign was established in a collaborative effort between the eThekwini municipality in Durban and awareness initiative Trucking Wellness.
Employees are tested for blood pressure, sugar levels, HIV and hypertension, as well as for other illnesses and chronic conditions.
Testing takes place at various wellness centres in the country.
Crossroads national safety, health, environment, quality and road safety manager Thandeka Mcunu says employees are a company's most valuable asset and adds that healthier employees are happier and more productive.
"The programme is about offering employees information. "We hope to have better-performing workers, as well as lower absenteeism and healthcare costs.
"By providing workers with these services, companies are improving employee wellbeing and job satisfaction. "Partnering with Trucking Wellness has been a huge success in the initial implementation stages of our wellness programme," she says.
Meanwhile, Naidoo points out that such campaigns can significantly improve the efficiency of businesses, as the early detection and treatment of an illness enable employees to serve the company for longer and be with their families for longer.
Mcunu says every individual has some sort of health risk to varying degrees, whether it is unhealthy eating, drinking, smoking, a lack of exercise or sleep, or even a genetic issue.
She notes that a wellness programme can foster positive change and can encourage employees to be more responsible in treating the health risks to which they may be exposed.
"Some employees mentioned that they didn't know they had any diseases, so, going forward, it's about taking care of themselves by eating right and being more responsible.
"One employee was not even aware that he was suffering from high blood pressure. "After he had been tested, he was immediately sent to hospital and subsequently booked off until his condition stabilised," Mcunu reveals.
Meanwhile, Crossroads also hosts regular fun days for employees and their families to educate them on various health issues.
The most recent event was an HIV/Aids awareness day in March.
Naidoo says employees turned out in large numbers with their families, showing great enthusiasm.
Free medical testing was done at the event and counselling and advice were given to attendees by trained medical staff.
Various motivational speakers, including those who have a medical background and HIV-positive persons, addressed employees. They emphasised the importance of staying healthy and knowing one's status, and outlined the impact HIV/Aids could have on one's family and lifestyle.
Naidoo notes that HIV/Aids also impacts on the company, as ill workers become fatigued.
"They could also be a threat to themselves or others if they become accident-prone. "Another concern is the number of days they are absent from work, which results in the company having to arrange for standby drivers on certain days," she says.
Meanwhile, as part of its health and safety compliance, Crossroads has implemented the OHSAS 18001 standard, which is an Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series for health and safety management systems.
It is intended to help an organ- isation control occupational health and safety risks.
"At each Crossroads depot, monthly safety, health and environment (SHE) meetings are held for health and safety reps and management to discuss pertinent SHE-related issues.
"There are occupational health and safety committees at all Crossroads premises and they are part of the occupational health and safety management programme. "All our premises are inspected monthly and audited yearly," Mcunu reveals.

Fifth Circuit Denies Constitutional Protections to Unmarried Adoptive Parents
April 13, 2011 by HRC staff
This post comes from HRC staff attorney Aaron Welo.
In a disappointing ruling issued yesterday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which generally requires one state to give effect to the legal proceedings of another states, does not protect the right of an unmarried same-sex couple to have their adopted child's birth certificate reissued with both of their names on it. The court also ruled that the couple's right to equal protection of the laws had not been violated and ordered the case dismissed.
Mickey Smith and Oren Adar legally adopted Louisiana-born "Infant J" in New York in 2006 and then sought to have his birth certificate reissued in Louisiana replacing the names of his biological parents with their own. The Registrar of Vital Records and Statistics refused their request and took the position that "adoptive parents" in Louisiana law means only married parents. Instead, she offered to place one of their names on the birth certificate since Louisiana allows single-parent adoption. Represented by Lambda Legal, Smith and Adar filed suit in federal court, arguing that her action denied full faith and credit to the New York adoption decree and equal protection to them and Infant J.
In December 2008, a federal district court ruled in favor of Smith and Adar on their full faith and credit claim and ordered Louisiana to provide a new, accurate birth certificate for their child. Louisiana officials appealed and a three-judge panel of the Fifth Circuit upheld the lower court's decision, concluding that Louisiana law required the registrar to issue the new birth certificate including both Smith and Adar. At Louisiana's request, an en banc panel of sixteen judges of the Fifth Circuit then reheard the case, leading to today's decision.
In an opinion authored by Judge Edith Jones, the majority of the en banc panel ruled that the plaintiffs were not entitled to sue for their full faith and credit rights, and that even if those rights existed, they could be ruled on only by the United States Supreme Court. Additionally, the court ruled that even if Smith and Adar were entitled to bring that claim, those rights were not denied in this case because Louisiana was not refusing to recognize the New York adoption, only to issue a birth certificate with both parent's names on it.
Smith and Adar's claim for a violation of their right to equal protection under the Constitution was also rejected by the majority. The court disagreed that Louisiana's policy treated the children of unmarried parents differently than those of married parents without this serving any governmental interest, concluding that the state had adopted a "rational preference for stable adoptive families" that justified the discriminatory law.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Treatments available for seasonal affective disorder
Manitoba has a reputation for being one of the sunniest provinces in Canada.
But when November rolls around all that seems to change. As the days get shorter and colder, it can feel like the darkness is closing in.
Not surprisingly, this sudden change in our environment can lead to mood changes. For most people, these changes are mild and might result in a few days of irritability or sleep disruption. But for others, the changes can be significant and might result in disruptions of daily life over the winter months, sometimes referred to as the "winter blues."
For a small percentage of people, seasonal mood changes can become a type of clinical depression known as seasonal affective disorder or SAD. Seasonal mood changes are thought to be linked to a reduction in sunlight which, in turn, disrupts the body's internal clock and the production of serotonin and melatonin, hormones that have several important functions including the regulation of sleep and mood.
According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, SAD affects up to three per cent of the population, while a milder form of "winter blues" may affect as much as 15 per cent of the population. Those who experience winter blues might notice changes in their eating and sleeping routines. Other common symptoms include irritability, anxiety, lack of energy, fatigue, lack of interest in activities, a craving for sweets and starchy foods, or changes in weight.
Mild symptoms can be managed with small changes to your lifestyle. But when these changes severely disrupt your ability to function at work and home, it is important to seek medical advice. Your doctor will be able to assess your symptoms and also rule out any underlying causes such as thyroid dysfunction, anemia or other conditions.
Seasonal depression most often occurs in the fall and abates in the spring, so people are only affected by symptoms during the winter months. For a diagnosis of SAD, there must be a seasonal pattern which has occurred over at least two years. SAD tends to occur more frequently in adults, is identified more often in women than men, and is also thought to run in families. People suffering from SAD might also have pronounced feelings of sadness, guilt and hopelessness. They can also feel irritable and tense and tend to isolate themselves, withdrawing from relationships and their usual social activities. Difficulty concentrating and making decisions can also affect a person's ability to go about their daily tasks at home or at work.
There are a number of common treatments for SAD. Up to 80 per cent of people with SAD have found light therapy to be helpful in reducing symptoms of seasonal depression. According to the Mayo Clinic, sitting approximately 14 inches away from a light box that produces 10,000 lux (a measurement of light intensity) for a minimum of 30 minutes each morning might be helpful.
Light boxes can be rented or purchased and the cost might be covered by some health-care plans with a medical prescription. It is important to consult a health-care professional about light therapy since it might be inadvisable for some people.
As with other types of depression, counselling can also be helpful. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy available through qualified therapists and psychologists. Medications might also be helpful in treating moderate to severe depression. The type of medication, dose and length of treatment will vary with each individual and should be recommended and monitored by a doctor.
There are a number of other things a person can do for themselves to help fight off the "winter blues" or ease the symptoms of SAD. And, yes, the things that are most helpful might be very difficult to do when you are feeling grumpy and exhausted, but they are proven strategies that will lessen symptoms, help you feel better and let you get on with your life. Understanding what you are dealing with and having a good support system is also important.
The first step is to take control of the things you have control over and develop a plan of action. The key strategies include increasing daily exposure to bright outdoor light, staying active during the winter months, eating well and maintaining social contacts.
Winter in Manitoba really isn't that long. Before you know it, we'll be basking in the warm sun again and grabbing the mosquito repellant.
Laurie McPherson is a mental health promotion co-ordinator with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority.

press release this morning announced Activision's participation, with chief public policy officer George Rose adding, "STEM literacy is a business imperative for our nation's economic excellence, success and citizenship. Our collaboration will not only help students, but will revive our economy, fuel our competitiveness, and ultimately empower our nation."
Change the Equation (CTEq) plans on working with "top companies" across "multiple sectors" with the intention of stimulating STEM literacy among youth, countrywide. Activision specifically will be "using video games to promote student interest in science and technology," which we have to imagine doesn't mean sending out leftover copies of Guitar Hero: Van Halen to middle schools. At least, we seriously hope not.

Changes introduced at Ferrari factory
– Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo has introduced a number of changes at the marque's Maranello factory with a view to "stepping up a gear" after the opening four races of the 2014 Formula 1 campaign. Although Fernando Alonso was able to secure a podium at the recent Chinese Grand Prix, previous challenging races have left the outfit fourth in the standings, more than 100 points adrift of current pace-setters Mercedes. Prior to the Shanghai event, Stefano Domenicali resigned as team boss and was replaced by Marco Mattiacci. In a factory speech addressing Mattiacci and his workforce ahead of the opening European leg, di Montezemolo asked for "an immediate overhaul...

2014 Holiday Ordering Deadlines
In our latest contest we set out to solicit designs that would be most useful printed on wrapping paper, so we chose the theme of birthdays. The winner from a field of great entries turns out to be the super-talented designer Drea Roman of Ttoz Designs. Congrats to Drea and the rest of the top ten this week!
The Interwebz called and it has requested more cat-themed fabric design contests (although this one should generate some excellent wrapping paper as well). Previews will be sized as quarter yards (21" x 18"). Deadline for entry is Tuesday, December 2, 2014.
Create a toile de Jouy fabric design using a single color (or a background color and a single foreground color) on the theme of winter. Previews will be sized as quarter yards (21" x 18"). Deadline for entry is Tuesday, December 9, 2014.
Tchaikovsky's most famous ballet is overdue for its own fabric contest. Create a fabric inspired by The Nutcracker for this week's challenge, keeping in mind that we will NOT be sending out an email or switching over the contest on December 25th, so this one will be up for two weeks. Entries will be previewed at the fat quarter size (21" x 18"). The deadline for entry is Tuesday, December 16th, 2014. Voting will open on December 18th, and will close on December 30th. We'll announce the winner on December 31st, just in time for the New Year!
Math and art are too often depicted as opposite ends of a spectrum. The art of creating seamless repeats is especially well suited for the numerate among us. This week's challenge is to design a fabric celebrating mathematics. Entries will be previewed at the fat quarter size (21" x 18"). Deadline for entry is Tuesday, December 30th. Voting will open on Wednesday, December 31st.
Instructions and rules for our weekly fabric design contests appear on our upcoming contests page .

In September, the US Navy executive in charge of major IT programs (the Program Executive Officer or PEO for Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence) RDML Jerry Burroughs published his 2013-2018 PEO C4I Strategic Plan (available here). It's worth a read. The main focus is on how to achieve efficiencies and savings and I believe we will see some restructuring to strengthen the programs Navy cares most about – such as CANES (the common computing environment for Navy ships), which is moving from development to full deployment.
A renewed emphasis will be placed on reducing variation among platform baselines. During the hectic boom years of deploying rapid solutions to two war-fronts at once, multiple designs were able to slip through the acquisition process. Getting the needed capability where it was required often trumped the "wet-blanket" of configuration control.
Consolidating these multiple baselines is basically free money at a time when every penny counts. RDML Burroughs is realigning his organization to help accomplish this. The current Organization Chart is here:
Pat Sullivan, the Executive Director for PEO C4I, is in charge of this process. Captain Kadowaki, PMW 760 and CAPT Seigenthaler, PMW 750, will perform ruthless scrutiny on existing and planned programs with a keen eye to streamlining configurations. That job has always been important and has never been an easy one, but now it's particularly daunting as the Navy cleans up after a decade of "need it now" deployments. Next summer, CDR Andrew Gibbons will join PMW 760 as his Deputy. Andy comes from the CANES program. He has also served as Director of Fielding for an S&T capability forward deployed to a theater of operations. He's the perfect fit to try to help bring these pieces together.
Ensuring that this occurs without hampering the delivery of capabilities to the warfighter is the function of Charlie Suggs, Deputy of Technical Direction and Program Integration. Charlie is an Engineer with a strong background in Standards and Architectures. He will be working with CAPT DJ LeGoff, PMW 160, Tactical Networks (stuff on ships), to get this done.
RDML Burroughs last week announced several more upcoming changes in his structure that will go into effect next summer. Mr. Steven Bullard will move from PMW 740 to Information Assurance and Cyber Security Program Management Office (PMW 130). Steve knows first had the frustrations of getting the alignment wrong. He worked on Global Command and Control System-Maritime (GCCS-M) program, which was "Joint-Ized" up to DISA into the Net-Enabled Command Capability (NECC) program. After years and millions of dollars, NECC was eventually terminated and the responsibilities for the "M" piece moved back to the Fleet – a full circle waste of time and money.
Ms. Carol Kim will relieve Steve in the International C4I Integration Program Management Office (PMW 740). After years in the Joint Tactical Radio (JTRS) and the Defense Message System (DMS) programs (two immensely complicated programs that have thrived, died, and been reborn from the ashes several times), I'm sure she will welcome the chance to work on something new. The International work poses to be a big growth area in the next few years as we move some work out of DoD and onto the shoulders of willing and capable allies and coalition partners.
To get a good sense of what's really happening in the near Navy future at PEO C4I, compare the Strategic Plan (the Commanders Intent) with the PEO C4I Master Plan (Version 6.0 dtd 7AUG2012) (what the Engineers think they are working on) with the actual Navy Budget. We will see some of the details emerge as program and funding realignments that will impact us all.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp.

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets. According to a recent IDG Research Services Survey this rate of traffic will only grow. What's driving t...
