text: 01 May 2013 High Sierra Amphibians Slated for Protections Posted by: Pamela Flick | 7 comments | Share: Pamela Flick, California Representative Good news! Three rare amphibians in the Sierra Nevada are set to hop onto the list of endangered species. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced in late April that the Sierra Nevada yellow-legged frog (Rana sierrae) and northern distinct population segment of mountain yellow-legged frog (Rana muscosa) have been proposed for endangered species status, while the Yosemite toad (Anaxyrus canorus) may receive threatened species classification. More than two million acres of critical habitat may also be designated to help protect these species in their high elevation territory. Mountain yellow-legged frog (©Jason King/USFS) Until recently, the yellow-legged frogs in the Sierra Nevada were believed to be the same species, but they actually took different genetic roads around 2.2 million years ago. These species were historically described as extremely abundant, but today are absent from more than 92 percent of their historic range. The Yosemite toad is currently found in less than half of its former territory. A majority of the high elevation habitat for these frogs and toads – from 4,500 to 12,000 feet above sea level – is found on public land managed by the U.S. Forest Service and the National Park Service. While these are both federal agencies, their management regimes are quite different. The National Park Service has a robust conservation mission and as such, national park lands have much stronger protections than national forests, where under their multiple use mandate, activities such as timber harvesting, livestock grazing and off-road vehicle use can destroy important habitat. Not surprisingly, populations of these Sierran amphibians have persisted in greater numbers and distribution in the more protected national parks compared to the surrounding lands managed by the Forest Service. So why are these once common and widespread frogs and toads now dangling so precariously on the edge of extinction? A wide variety of factors have contributed to their decline. As with so many species disappearing around the world, habitat loss and fragmentation are key threats to wildlife. Dams and water diversions, road building, timber harvest and recreational use all lead to loss of habitat as well. Climate change and long-term drought also threaten these highly water-dependent species. Grazing livestock damage these amphibians' vital habitat. (©Pam Flick/Defenders of Wildlife) We also lose individual frogs and toads due to predation; non-native bullfrogs eat them, as do fish. This can become a bigger problem when trout are intentionally stocked in historically fishless high elevation lakes and streams, introducing more predators to an area where frogs and toads have had few in the past. Another key threat is disease, including the chytrid fungus, Batrachochuytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which has been strongly associated with dramatic amphibian declines worldwide. The Yosemite toad has been hit especially hard by more than a century of unsustainable livestock grazing practices. The high elevation meadows and streamside systems that these toads prefer are extremely sensitive to disturbance. Livestock often congregate in and near sensitive water sources, trampling stream banks and causing wet meadows to lose water critical to the toad's survival. Approximately one-third of all known Yosemite toad habitat is within active Forest Service grazing areas. Despite the fact that there has been a reduction of livestock allowed in these areas, the damage has been done, and the meadows continue to suffer from eroded channels, bare patches from heavy trampling and grazing, altered plant composition and reduced plant production. Yosemite toad (©Pam Flick/Defenders of Wildlife) Designation of more than two million acres of critical habitat for these frogs and toads will go a long way toward protecting them. This designation will include lands and waters essential to the conservation of the species and may require special management considerations or protection. But it's important to note that critical habitat only means that we have to ensure actions taken by federal agencies will not destroy key habitat needed by these species. The designation does not affect land ownership, and continued grazing and habitat development could continue to be an obstacle to these species' recovery. Defenders strongly supports the proposed protections for these rapidly declining amphibian species to pull them back from the brink of extinction. We have been leaders in helping to revise national forest plans in the Sierra Nevada to better account for the role of wildlife, and our collaborative work on the Dinkey Landscape Restoration Project on the Sierra National Forest includes some of the lands proposed as critical habitat. We hope that by making their native range a safer place to live, we'll be helping the Yosemite toad and yellow-legged frogs edge closer to recovery. 7 Responses to "High Sierra Amphibians Slated for Protections" olimpia marina May 3rd, 2013 No human has the right to interfere or harm animals…..Those who do ,should be charged by no corrupt justice system…..including police…Heawy charges should apply….It has been going alraedy for too long ENOUGH…. Reply margaret Gottshall May 3rd, 2013 This is good news that they are going to get the pertection they need Reply Trish May 4th, 2013 These protections come not a moment too soon, given the 17% of normal snowpack in the Sierras this year. Hopefully the designation will come with money to effect some of the needed restorations. Reply Heather Stewart May 4th, 2013 I hope that this habitat will be operational soon and these frogs and toads given adequate protection Reply Jim April 11th, 2014 I can`t believe what I am reading. 2.1 million acres to be closed to the public because a frog and a toad have a virus. Call me Stupid but I did not know that frogs and toads, Regardless of how many of the little buggers there are need 2.1 MILLION ACRES of prime People Habitat to somehow rid themselves of a virus so they can live to be old and grey at the expense or extermination of animals that already live there and in the case of Humans play there. This closing of land is wrong. The virus will still be there after the animals are murdered and the people are forced out. The buffalo who`s numbers were in the millions didn`t get 2.1 million acres !!! Regulators let`s ride !! Uncle Sam is on Dope !! This is just what the Obama Administration has said they were planning to do and that is to close and deny access to lands in the western United States. Ask yourself why aren't there any cases of good ol Uncle Sam steeping in and coming to the rescue of any endangered species or any animal in the Eastern United States. Every Hunter, Hiker, Fisherman, Nature Lover, Off Roader, Explorer, Miner, Logger, Birdwatcher or concerned citizen needs to take it upon themselves to do whatever it takes to find out and expose the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Think about how many times has our government has told the truth about anything !! Make haste my friends. Time is not on our side. These lands belong to the American People and they must never be taken away by a President that was not even born in America !! Reply Ashley April 29th, 2014 I love frogs.I hope they have better protection soon. Reply Todd Rockey May 31st, 2014 I love animals they taste great. Give me back my land!!!

Delaware gets check in e-book overcharge suit
A major book publisher is agreeing to settle up with the Attorneys General of 33 states, Delaware included.
Penguin Group is accused of manipulating the market place through artificial price increases.
An investigation revealed that Penguin, along with MacMillan and Apple collaborated to hike the price charged on various e-books...an arrangement the attorneys general say resulted in consumers being overcharged by $100-million nationwide.
Penguin has agreed to pay $164-million, with just over half a million of that money headed to Delaware.

With the growing popularity of Survivor Pools, FP911.com is here to help. Each week we will look at the key games. There will be a pick of the week, some safe bets, a few games to avoid, and a trap game.
Since a couple have asked via Twitter, the safer bets are listed in the order I would take them. Should help as you look at teams you have used over the course of the season.
Pick of the Week (1-1)
49ers (@ Vikings) – No one seems to be able to stay on the same field with the 49ers through the first two weeks. While it is a solid matchup, there is reason to be a little concerned given that San Francisco will be playing the early game in the Central time zone. A little. That said, the 49ers have the best run defense in the league. They controlled both games so far this season. I would not bet on Christian Ponder to beat them just yet.
Safer Bets (8-0)
Saints (vs. Chiefs) – I know the Saints have looked bad, but the Chiefs have been worse. Kansas City scored against the Bills in garbage time last week, meaning the 18 point loss was not even that close. The Saints have had issues on defense, not offense. The Chiefs have an in-the-pocket quarterback that should make life much easier for them. At home, they do not drop to 0-3.
Bears (vs. Rams) – Everyone is concerned about Jay Cutler and the way he acted last game. The Rams, though, are not good and will be on the road. The Bears have too much talent and play far too well at home for anyone to be overly nervous. Both running games are suspect right now and with that in mind, I'll take the better defense and the better passing attack without thinking twice.
Lions (@ Titans) – The Lions will get back several key members of the secondary and will get a boost in the running game with Mikel Leshoure. The offense has not been clicking, but this is a team that has at least shown signs of life. The Titans have just been awful. The teams have not played since 2008 and both are decidedly different than they were at that point. With a young quarterback and no running game to speak of, the Lions seem to be in strong shape here.
Steelers (@ Raiders) – I am concerned that the Steelers may again be without two of their key defensive players, but did you see how bad Oakland looked against Miami? The Raiders have not been able to find the end zone on offense and playing the Steelers is not a recipe to find that, banged up or not. Pittsburgh may have to travel across the country, but this is a team far better on paper than Oakland.
Keep Away
Texans (@ Broncos) – People will look at how Peyton Manning played last weekend and think this is a win for Houston. Remember that just the week before Manning had no issues against Pittsburgh at home. Houston's defense has been stellar so far, but Mile High is a different animal. There are better matchups later this season to use the Texans.
Falcons (@ Chargers) – Yes, the Falcons have looked good, but with the issues surrounding Michael Turner and the Chargers playing solid football early on, this is not going to be an easy game. San Diego will get back Ryan Matthews which will drastically help the running game. They have looked good through the air and this will help the attack.
Eagles (@ Cardinals) – I would stay away from both teams here, but this is not the spot to look at taking Philadelphia. The Cardinals are going to be a sexy pick because of the way they manhandled New England defensively. Add in the issues that the Eagles have at Wide Receiver and this seems like a win for Arizona at home. They are better defensively than you think and I guarantee that Larry Fitzgerald will be a far bigger factor this week than he was last.
Packers (@ Seahawks) – The Packers just haven't been consistent over the first two weeks. The Seahawks have played well at home and put up a strong pass defense against the Cowboys last week. The Seattle running game coupled with a mobile quarterback will make this a tighter game than you might think.
Trap Game
Cowboys (vs. Buccaneers) – People will look at the line and see Dallas as a near nine point favorite and think they should win. They are at home on top of it right? Wrong. There has been a lot of inconsistent play on offense for the Cowboys. The Buccaneers were a bad quarter away from a win against the Giants last week. The addition of Vincent Jackson has made the offense dangerous. Dallas was destroyed on both sides of the ball last week after controlling the Giants in Week One. Too Jekyl and Hyde for a survivor selection right now.

Learn About NIH Public Access Policy at UCLA
The Biomedical Library frequently offers workshops on complying with the NIH Public Access Policy. Check back on this site for upcoming classes, and see the box below for video of previous sessions.
Interested in an information session for your lab or group? Contact the Library to schedule a workshop!
Videos and Tutorials
The following videos contain information about the Policy and how to comply.
- NIH Public Access Policy, MyNCBI Bibliography, and NIH Manuscript Submission System (46 minutes, 51 seconds)
Video of the September 6, 2013 session at the UCLA Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library, including live demonstrations of using the MyNCBI My Bibliography and the NIH Manuscript Submission System. The session slides and handout are also available.
- The NIH Public Access Policy and Your Grant (7 min, 33 sec)
A short video overview of the policy created by NYU Health Sciences Libraries and NYU Office of Research Education.
- My Bibliography: Public Access Compliance (3 min, 26 sec)
Tutorial from the National Library of Medicine on using the MyNCBI My Bibliography feature to manage Public Access Policy compliance.
- NIH Public Access Policy: How to Comply (34 min, 14 sec)
Video of the April 5, 2013 instructional session at the UCLA Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library. The session slides and handout are also available.
The NIH Public Access Policy ensures that the public has access to the published results of NIH funded research. It requires scientists to submit final peer-reviewed journal manuscripts that arise from NIH funds to the digital archive PubMed Central upon acceptance for publication. To help advance science and improve human health, the Policy requires that these papers are accessible to the public on PubMed Central no later than 12 months after publication.
(From the NIH Public Access Homepage)
NIH Public Access Policy News
Updated guidelines (NOT-OD-12-160) to the NIH Public Access Policy have been issued, announcing that in spring 2013, at the earliest, NIH will delay processing of non-competing continuation grant awards, if publications arising from that award are not in compliance with the NIH public access policy. Once publications are in compliance, awards will go forward. This change will take effect in tandem with NIH requiring the use of the Research Performance Progress Report (RPPRs) for all Streamlined Non-competing Award Process (SNAP) and Fellowship awards, also in the spring of 2013.
These changes are being announced several months in advance of implementation, to give awardees as much time as possible to comply with the policy. Awardees should be strongly encouraged to comply with the public access policy. Recent enhancements to My NCBI allow awardees to associate papers with their awards, and track public access compliance. Additional helpful resources, including frequently asked questions about the public access policy, are available on the web site.*

Democrat Mark Mullet claims lead in state Senate bout
November 6, 2012
UPDATED — 9:25 p.m. Nov. 6, 2012
The unexpectedly ugly race to represent Issaquah in the state Senate neared a coda Tuesday as Democrat Mark Mullet claimed a lead in initial results.
The Issaquah Press' general election endorsements
October 30, 2012
See the editorial board's recommendations for congressional and legislative candidates, and statewide ballot measures, in the Nov. 6 general election.
Legislative candidates focus on education at forum
October 23, 2012
Candidates staked moderate positions and touted the importance of education as the contenders for offices to represent Issaquah in Olympia gathered for a candidate forum Oct. 18.
Education emerged as the signature theme in the races to represent local constituents in the state Senate and state House of Representatives. Candidates also tackled issues related to taxation, transportation, land use and — as lawmakers prepare for more budget cuts next year — government spending.
October 23, 2012
Our endorsements for state representatives
Issaquah is divided between the 5th and 41st legislative districts. Redistricting has changed district boundaries, but most Issaquah neighborhoods remain inside the 5th District.
North Issaquah and neighborhoods along Lake Sammamish shifted into the 41st District. Cougar Mountain west of state Route 900 and areas north of Interstate 90 act as the dividing lines.
Local legislative candidates answer questions
October 16, 2012
5th Legislative District — state House of Representatives
Chad Magendanz
How can the state fulfill its "paramount duty" to fund education, despite budget limitations?
• Budget writers must follow the Supreme Court ruling to fund education as our "first and highest priority before any other state programs or operations."
What specific steps can state government take to entice businesses to expand or relocate to Washington?
• Reduce burdensome regulations by aligning with federal standards, reform workers compensation and unemployment insurance programs to lower costs, and simplify the B&O tax structure.
What specific steps can state government take to increase revenue, despite the existing limitations?
• A revenue-neutral swap of state property tax for local school levies would bring $1 billion of education funding into a more regular and dependable tax structure.
What specific steps can state government take to shore up Washington's higher education system?
• Return to a 50-50 deal with university students and restore funding levels to their historical average, rather than just 8 percent of the general fund.
41st Legislative District candidates tout successes to appeal to moderate voters
October 16, 2012
Redistricting shifted more Issaquah neighborhoods into the 41st Legislative District, alongside Mercer Island, Newcastle and parts of Bellevue and Sammamish.
The contest to represent the affluent, suburban district in the state Senate is between Mercer Island residents Maureen Judge, a Democrat, and Steve Litzow, a Republican freshman senator.
In 2010, Litzow defeated appointed incumbent Randy Gordon by 192 votes to represent the district in the Senate. The candidates battled to fill the unexpired term of former Sen. Fred Jarrett, a Republican-turned-Democrat and the current King County deputy executive.
"Fred Jarrett, who was an early endorser of mine and is very beloved and well-known in the 41st, has said to me, 'Maureen, always remember that this is not a blue district, it's not a red district. It's a purple district,'" Judge said.
Meet congressional, legislative candidates at forum
October 9, 2012
Hear from the candidates for offices in Olympia and Washington, D.C., at a candidate forum cosponsored by The Issaquah Press, the American Association of University Women and the League of Women Voters.
The lineup for the Oct. 18 forum includes candidates for the state House of Representatives and state Senate, plus a candidate to represent Issaquah in Congress. The forum includes candidates in contested and uncontested races.
The event is not a debate. Candidates offer opening statements to the audience and then answer a series of questions from the moderator, Publisher Debbie Berto.
Local legislative candidates join chambers' forum
October 2, 2012
Voters can hear from candidates for the state House of Representatives and Senate on Oct. 9 at a forum organized by the Issaquah and Sammamish chambers of commerce.
The lineup includes the contenders for a 5th Legislative District House seat — Republican Chad Magendanz and Democrat David Spring — and the Senate seat — Democrat Mark Mullet and Republican Brad Toft.
The candidates in the 41st Legislative District, state Rep. Marcie Maxwell, D-Renton, and Issaquah Republican Tim Eaves — plus state Sen. Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island, and Mercer Island Democrat Maureen Judge — also plan to attend.
State Rep. Jay Rodne, R-North Bend, the uncontested candidate for the other House seat in the district, is also expected to attend.
The forum is from 3:30-5 p.m. at Blakely Hall, 2550 N.E. Park Drive. Organizers plan to focus on business and economic issues.
How did Issaquah vote?
September 18, 2012
Data from the Aug. 7 primary shows how Issaquah voters decided — and offers clues to how the local electorate might vote in the November general election.
State legislators earn bipartisan honor
August 21, 2012
Local current and former legislators earned recognition Aug. 16 for efforts to legalize charter schools in Washington.
State Reps. Glenn Anderson, R-Fall City, and Deb Eddy, D-Kirkland; state Sens. Rodney Tom, D-Bellevue, and Steve Litzow, R-Mercer Island; former state Sen. Cheryl Pflug, R-Maple Valley; and other lawmakers earned the bipartisan recognition from the Washington Policy Center.
The nonpartisan public policy research organization honored legislators with the 2012 Champion of Freedom Award.
"We are honored to recognize these legislative champions of charter schools in our state who helped make the case to reform education and put the issue before our state's citizens this fall," Washington Policy Center President Dann Mead Smith said in a statement.

Many Americans watching the Grammy Awards last night were surprised by the win of Esperanza Spalding in the category of Best new Artist.
Not us. White House reporters have seen her talents three times since President Obama's inauguration.
She performed at the White House when the Obamas honored Stevie Wonder for receiving the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song:
And she was back in May 2009 for the White House poetry jam:
She also performed in the December 2009 Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony:
Spalding also performed at a DNC reception in April 2010 in Miami, Florida.
"Isn't she terrific?" the president said to the crowd. "I love listening to Esperanza, she is wonderful."
She is. Congratulations, Esperanza!

I had the issue where the a/c was blowing warm air. I took my car in and it turns out the cable brook that was connected to the a/c motor and the alternator. This is why it blew warm air. My battery light also came on because the alternator wasn't charging the battery.

Last week, in the rush of a busy day, I came home and was surprised by a thoughtful package from Yellow Tail Wines. The gift was fully equipped with Summer essentials; beach towel, flip flops, a cute fedora, adorable colored plastic wine glasses, wayfarer sunglasses and 2 bottles of Yellow Tail's newest wines: Pink Moscato and Sweet Wine Roo. Who doesn't like to come home after a stressful week to some door to door vino delivery?{Um... yes, please!}. Now, normally I am not a fan of sweet wines but given that it was 88 degrees at 8 pm, I needed a double dose of these wines served ice cold and let me tell you, they did not disappoint. The great thing about dessert wines is that they satisfy that sweet craving, not to mention that it went quite well with my spontaneous evening dip in the pool! I started with a glass of the Pink Moscato and then decided to try the Sweet White Roo {both new additions to the Yellow Tail family I later found out}. The Pink Moscato was a little sweeter and had hints of watermelon and strawberry and a touch of bubbly that went just perfectly with the other flavors. The Sweet White Roo was a blend of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc and had hints of fruits and a slight lemon flavor to it; both are perfect to add in a Summer sangria! Check out some of Yellow Tails recipe suggestions with these two wines and others, here.

Wed, Nov 14, 2012
The Single European Sky ATM Research Joint Undertaking (SESAR JU) is co-financing a third series of pre-operational demonstration projects to accelerate adoption of environmentally friendly Air Traffic Management (ATM) operations.
After more than 10,000 green commercial flights, the new Atlantic Interoperability Initiative to Reduce Emissions (AIRE) program will include nine new projects involving 31 airport, air navigation service providers (ANSP) and airline partners in 14 geographical locations. The aim of this collaborative effort is to show that it is possible to fly more environmentally friendly trajectories with commercial flights, using current technologies.
AIRE is a program first launched in 2007 by the European Commission and the United States' Federal Aviation Administration to improve flights' energy efficiency, lower engine emissions and reduce aircraft noise. Since 2008, SESAR JU is managing the European side of the program through collaborative projects involving multiple ATM stakeholders (airports, ANSPs, airlines and industries). The first two waves of AIRE demonstrations in 2009 and 2010/11 have proven that fuel burn - therefore CO2 emissions - can be significantly reduced through a partnership approach, utilising today's technologies. The gains achieved in AIRE I and AIRE II were quite significant (up to 3% savings on fuel and CO2 emissions), while the investment was minimal - and mainly based on the design and training of new operational procedures. It was clearly a win-win initiative in which a number of trial procedures have now become everyday operations.
The 2012/13 wave of demonstrations (or AIRE III), is building on insights gained through the previous activities and expanding the program's scope. New geographical locations are integrated, new partners are involved, new areas of efficiency are trialled, so that solutions proven successful can be industrialised quicker, by a wider aviation community.
Pre-operational AIRE projects will see the light in Hungary, the South Atlantic (Canarias FIR, and potentially Sal, Dakar and Recife ACCs), Italy, and Latvia. They will allow optimisation of operations for terminal, and oceanic/en route. In Hungary, the aim is to accomplish more fuel-efficient climbs and descents through Continuous descent approach (CDA) and Continuous climb departure (CDD) in one of Central Europe's busy airports: Budapest. In the South Atlantic and Italy, reducing CO2 emissions will be achieved via Flexible or Free route, a procedure allowing aircrafts to choose their optimised route. In Riga, demonstrations aim to prove CO2 emission and noise level reductions through more direct routing thanks to Performance Base Navigation (PBN).
For this wave of demonstrations, many new airlines have joined the program, including low cost carriers. Air Baltic, Air Berlin, Alitalia, Easy Jet Airlines, SATA, Thomas Cook Airlines and Wizz Air are the newcomers. They join previous AIRE airline partners such as Air Europa, Air France, Iberia and TAP Air Portugal. New ANSPs include ENAV (Italy), HungaroControl (Hungary), and LGS (Latvia). They complement AIRE-experienced ANSP partners including AENA (Spain), DSNA (France), NAV CANADA, NAV-Portugal and Skyguide (Switzerland).
"I am very satisfied that the SESAR JU is able to continue to support ATM environmental optimisations, allowing operators to achieve significant savings in fuel while reducing their environmental footprint. AIRE has become an industry benchmark triggering change in Europe and in the North. " Patrick Ky, Executive Director, SESAR Joint Undertaking

Grilled Ribeye (a guest post by Michael)
Grilled Ribeye with Bordelaise, Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Cauliflower
Originally uploaded by Foodmomiac.
Yesterday, we visited our favorite butcher shop in Chicago, the Paulina Meat Market. Our visit was impromptu and mainly out of necessity; after returning from our trip to New Orleans we had nothing in the house to eat for lunch. We needed some good lunch meat. Upon entering the market, Danielle and I glanced at each other as we took in the wonderful smell of smoked meat and spices. No words needed. I'm notorious for shopping on an empty stomach, returning home with a variety of obscure treats that get tossed into their various storage spaces, only to remain there until they fossilize. This excursion could easily fit the pattern.
Thankfully, this time Danielle was with me. Still, for the most part, I was undaunted. Usually, when I enter PMM, there is quite a wait which gives me plenty of time to formulate my strategy (and sample some of the goodies they've set out for customers). Unfortunately, just as I was pulling a "31" from the little pig dispenser, they announced "28." Oh shit, I thought. I quickly started scanning the meat case. Pork, Lamb, Beef, Chicken, sausages (at least 10 varities), smoked meats, lunch meats, in that order. I knew that once we got to the lunch meats we'd have plenty of time to think (because of all the slicing that takes place), so my immediate focus became large items suitable for grilling. Then I heard someone yell "31." The moment of truth. Why do I create pressure out of nonsense? Should I buy the rack of lamb? The beautiful porterhouse with the full filet? No, no, look at that standing rib roast. Wow, that looks fantastic.
I asked the butcher to slice me two steaks both about 1.75-2.0 inches thick. I failed to tell him to leave the bone-in, which resulted in another moment of panic when I thought he removed the bone. Thank god he didn't. Unfortunately, most Americans only experience rib-eyes in their boneless variety, which is a real travesty. The only way to eat this steak is with the bone-in.
After purchasing the steaks, of course we proceeded to fill our basket with ox-tail for soup, various lunch meats, bacon, and, oh yeah, a fresh duck.
When we got back home, I unwrapped the steaks . These things had more marble than the Louvre. I decided to make steak au poivre. First I applied coarse salt on both sides. Then I minced three cloves of garlic and rubbed it on. I also crushed a small handful of tellicherrry peppercorns and sprinkled them on both sides of the steaks. I didn't completely coat the steaks with pepper, like they do at Les Halles in New York but I was still pretty liberal. Finally, I drizzled olive oil on the steaks and let them sit for a few hours at room temperature.
Since we're now in the throes of global warming, it was a perfect December night for grillin' and chillin'. I poured a stiff Manhattan and headed outdoors. I set all three burners to high and let the grill preheat. Once it was an extremely hot 550+ degrees, I threw the steaks on, reduced the heat to medium-high and closed the lid. I let the steaks cook unabated for about 6 minutes. Even with the lid closed the steaks were getting charred, just how we like them. I then flipped the steaks and let them go for another 5 minutes or so, on direct heat. Then, I cranked the heat back to high and placed them on an elevated rack, with the lid closed for another 7 minutes or so.
With all the marbelization, these steaks tend to generate significant flames. This is good. When these cuts are cooked at moderate heat, they arrive on a plate with significant helpings of gelatinous fat a la prime rib. I think this is kind of gross. Extreme heat melts and burns off much of the fat. Also, whereas, I prefer most steaks Pittsburgh-style (charred but rare), over the years I've learned that these steaks are actually delicious when done medium-well. Because of the marbelization, the meat is still incredibly moist and tender even though it is thoroughly cooked.
Note from Danielle:
Michael asked me to make a Bordelaise sauce for the steaks. That's our favorite accompaniment at Mancy's, the best steakhouse in Toledo. I found a recipe in the New York Times cookbook, made a few adjustments (due to lack of ingredients in the house), and ended up with a damn good sauce (that photographs HORRIBLY, please ignore the shiny pink sauce). I also made roasted garlic mashed potatoes and roasted cauliflower. Oh, and a salad.
Bordelaise Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely minced shallots (I used dehydrated onion, b/c I was lazy)
3/4 cup dry red wine
1-1/2 cups brown sauce or canned beef gravy (I quickly made some beef gravy using beef broth and a roux)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons minced parsley (I omitted)
salt and cayenne pepper to taste (I used black pepper instead)
3/4 cup sliced mushrooms, cooked in a little butter (optional, and I left them out)
Melt the butter in a small pot and cook shallots until transparent. Add the wine and simmer until it is reduced by half. Add the remaining ingredients and cook on very low heat until it is the desired thickness. (We cooked it for over an hour because we had the time available and because we wanted it very thick. If you want a thick sauce but do not have an hour to spare, you can easily thicken it with roux.)

Good News from the Alabama Alps
Today's expedition update, which comes to you from scientist-in-charge Dr. Michael Hirshfield, contains some good news about the Alabama Alps:
Sunday, September 12
After making several transects of the Alabama Alps today and comparing Oceana's observations with those from previous scientific investigations, we believe to have a fairly good snapshot of the area.
Based on what we saw from the ROV footage and CTD scans, there are no obvious signs that this area was harmed by the recent Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Here's Oceana conducting a CTD scan:

Exploring the Gulf's Underwater Mountains
It was an exciting day yesterday on the Latitude, as Dustin reports. We owe a hearty thank you to Nautica, who is making this leg of the expedition possible.
Saturday, September 11
The heat and humidity did not divert the Oceana crew from the important task at hand today.
After running a few more quick tests on the Spanish ROV, the crew sent it down for its first operation. Positioned near the "Alabama Alps," the ROV was lowered nearly 250 feet to the ocean floor.
As strong underwater currents tried to move the Oceana Latitude from the operation site, expedition leader Xavier Pastor worked closely with the ships' crew to ensure that all the necessary measures were taken to keep us on course.
Here's Xavier Pastor:

Day 30: Testing the Deep-sea ROV
In today's update from the Latitude, the crew tests the ROV for its journey into the depths of the Gulf. (Big thanks to Nautica for making our use of the ROV possible!)
Here's Oceana's senior campaign communications manager Dustin Cranor:
Friday, September 10
From the surface of the water, it's hard to imagine that a small underwater mountain range with pinnacles reaching as high as 100 feet above the seafloor is below us.
With the help of an echo sounder and Olex seafloor mapping software, Oceana's experts were able to create a visual image of a section of "The Pinnacles" off the coast of Alabama, which some people call the "The Alabama Alps."
As is standard procedure on the first day of a new research operation, the Oceana crew spent time testing the ROV equipment after its long trip from Spain. The reason the Spanish ROV can be used to investigate deepwater areas is because it's tethered to a weighted line that gives it greater stability and control. A crew of at least six is needed to operate the ROV, including the winch, crane, cable and controls.

Dealing With Depression
Take depression for instance. The list of symptoms that characterize clinical depression can be caused by a lot of different things that are part of everyday life. You probably don't need medication unless you're feeling hit hard by several symptoms at once for more than two weeks or just feel "blue" most of the time for more than 6 months.
Consider these symptoms of depression:
When you're worried about your kids, things at work, or finances for example, you well might get anxious, irritable, unable to focus or enjoy life, or have trouble sleeping. If you're exhausted or are avoiding dealing with life because you are overwhelmed, you might respond by sleeping too much or binging on comfort foods. Deal with the problem and, amazingly, your symptoms usually will go away.
Personal Strategy:
1. Pessimism.
2. Stress.
3. Losses
4. Anxiety or being high-strung.
5. Being overwhelmed.
6. Ruts.
7. Sugar and caffeine.
8. Dehydration.
9. Cabin fever:
10. Lack of good sleep.
11. Isolation.

Maybe I'll even get inducted into the club of people who make LOL cats!
200 goldfish in a man-made pond (out of a child's plastic swimming pool, no less!) with a little footbridge over the top covered in twinkling lights: It was supposed to be the post-card pretty entrance for a local wedding reception but ended up going down in the annals of neighborhood bad decisions as one of the worst ever. I was about 12 years old at the time so of course to my romantic-al eyes it was all love, roses and really poufy sleeves and lace bibs (it was the 90′s after all). At the end of the night, the bride and groom were trundled off to their honeymoon suite in the Anniversary Inn – which was full of theme rooms with varying levels of kinkiness! Did they get the undersea paradise grotto with the anatomically correct mermaids? It was all the older kids could talk about. (Also: what does "anatomically correct" even mean when it comes to imaginary creatures?) But my mom had other things on her mind than copulating merpeople. Those fish. Namely, what would become of them now that their magical purpose was served and their pond had reverted back to a plastic swimming pool filled with sushi bites. The dumpster out back was discussed.
My mother has always had a very gentle soul. Which is how we ended up with 200 pet fish that night. My father was not amused to come home and find every container in the house filled with water and creatures in obvious distress. Despite my mother's ministrations, the whole escapade had been too taxing for most of them and by the next morning we were down to around 100 pets. My brother, sister and I were overjoyed and spent the day giving 100 identical goldfish unique names. By week's end though, we were left with about 30 and our toilet had been renamed The Graveyard. (After we learned the hard way that Tupperware do not make appropriate burial containers… for many soupy reasons.) My mom bought an aquarium. It wasn't enough. We children became experts at identifying the final stages of fish death. Eventually we were left with Red Head Fred, the lone survivor of the wedding fish massacre, who lived with us for years. He became our family's official mascot of resilience, strength and the power of being really lucky (and anatomically correct).
Eventually we added more pets to our house. Whether it was from my mom's inability to say no to a cute little face or because my siblings and I were super persuasive, we ended up with (and I swear I'm not making this up) 1 dog we got from a cardboard box outside the grocery store, 3 rescue cats, 2 turtles, 1 lizard, 3 rabbits (including my French Lop, Taffy, who grew so fat we could no longer take her out of the door of her kennel), 2 guinea pigs (for my baby sister), 2 newts (which I personally named Olivia and John so that when they mated they would be… Olivia Newt On John. Hold you applause, please, because when they did mate Olivia horrified us by gobbling up all her own spawn minutes after they were birthed), 6 tree frogs, 8 hermit crabs and so many fish I don't even dare count them. And I'm betting that after my sister reads this she'll call to remind me of all our pets that I forgot. Oh, and my mom recently came home with a new "teddy bear" puppy that is officially the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life. Meet Quincy:
So I grew up with a menagerie. My husband grew up with a dog, Misty, whom he adored. It was inevitable that we would become pet owners at some point. My original rule was that we couldn't get anything that crapped on the floor until my children stopped crapping on the floor. Who needs a puppy when you have a toddler to chew up everything in your wallet? But with Jelly Bean now 3 – Happy Birthday on Monday, baby! – that day is arriving. Even though I've been secretly enjoying my relatively fluid-free floors I knew I was fighting a losing battle. We finally decided on a rescue dog for our First Family Pet. My only rules were no puppies and no pitbulls. But of course it would be another animal to mess up my plans.
We have mice. Like, a lot of them. That forest the house backs up to that we found so charming when we moved in? Vermin paradise. I have shelled out $600 to Orkin over the past year to try and get rid of them but just when it seems we have them licked (not literally, that would be disgusting), a trap snaps and we're right back to where we're started. We have tried everything to get rid of the mice. Except one thing: "Get a cat," advised everyone on Facebook. Apparently even if they're not good mousers, just their feline smell can keep the mice away. Plus, you know, they're cuddly and cute and our family wanted a pet anyhow. And with 5 bajillion homeless cats in the US (I made that number up, don't correct me) how hard could it be to find one that would be a good fit?
We went to our local pet adoption faire (yes, with an e) last Saturday only to be told – and not even in a nice way – that we certainly could not pay an exorbitant amount of money to adopt one of their rescue cats. The first problem was the kids. The lady in charge (hereafter referred to simply as Ms. Meanie) informed me that cats should not have to deal with kids under the age of 6. This surprised me because I'm guessing that cats have associated with toddlers ever since there have been cats and toddlers. We had a cat when my sister was born and she played with it and loved it for years. I can understand some cats not doing well with small kids but all cats? Really? The second problem was that I told her about the mice issue. Ms. Meanie got even huffier. "That's ABUSE!" she spluttered. "We're not adopting our cats out to be work animals! We want them to have a loving home!" It was all I could do not to roll my eyes and answer, "Lady, I have a job. My husband has a job. That cat wants a warm house and food and toys? It can have a job too." Plus, don't cats like chasing mice? I'm not saying we'd withhold food or punish it or even be mad at it if it didn't help with the mice – the only danger a cat would be in at our house is maybe getting too loved on – but if the cat did help with the mouse problem, even if just with its presence, I'd be forever grateful. Is it such a bad thing to want a cat to help with mice?
So now we're stuck. Do we keep trying to find a cat? And if so, what do we look for and where do we get it? Or do we go with the original plan of the dog? And if so, what kind? Help – I need pet advice! Any of you have small kids? What pets have worked the best for you? Any other mouse-deterring suggestions?

Hi everyone,
My name is Jeff. I'm 38 am married to an amazing lady, Amanda. We have two beautiful children, ages 11 (boy) and 8 (girl). I am originally from Michigan but have been living in Utah for the past 16 years.
My family and I had two Shih-Tzu's a couple of years ago - Oscar and Cocoa. We had to move out of our home and apartment hop for a year before getting into another home. Unfortunately, we weren't able to keep the dogs during the apartment hopping year, but we found incredible homes for them that we felt very, very good about.
My wife has recently stopped working and is now a stay-at-home mom. She is feeling a bit lonely and the idea of bringing another dog into our home has been a hot topic. She is not a fan of dogs that shed, so we already had to cross of Labrador's off the list. (I had one growing up - "Mork" whom I loved dearly.) We liked the Shih Tzu's but have talked about getting a larger dog that is more playful and loyal. Yes, a guard dog was the original idea, but when I started reading about Pitbulls I learned that they are not great guard dogs. However, they seem to be wonderful companions.
As cheesy as this may sound, we got interested in this breed after getting hooked on the TV show "Pit Bulls and Parolees" on Animal Planet. I admit, up until this point, I believed what the media has told me. However, after watching last season and reading more about Pitbulls online, I believe they can be wonderful, gentle, loving companions.
We're a bit hesitant, at the same time, because of the stereotype, and we don't want kids to stop playing with our kids if we do end up getting a Pitbull. Also, most everything I've been reading - owners give rave reviews of Pitbulls. There are some reviews I've read, however, where people have said that their gentle loving Pitbull 'snapped' one day and attacked someone. Is that typical? Would that be because it wasn't socialized properly?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time. - Jeff

The Accelerated Rebuild
Losing a franchise player, especially one acquired in the draft and beloved by the fans, is a gut-wrenching process. But by understanding why stars leave and pro-actively accelerating the rebuilding process, Utah is in a much better position than any of the other four franchises who lost one.
By the end of the 2010 season, after three straight playoff defeats to the Los Angeles Lakers, it was clear the Utah Jazz had reached their ceiling. They had averaged 51.5 wins in their last four seasons, but were not in the possession of cap-room, high draft position or the internal flexibility to acquire a difference maker. And the core they had assembled around Deron Williams -- Mehmet Okur, Carlos Boozer and Andrei Kirilenko -- just wasn't good enough to win a title.
Williams, like the other players in the '03 -- '05 draft classes, couldn't overcome the assembled star power of the Lakers or the Boston Celtics, who had rosters overflowing with Hall-of-Famers and All-Star caliber players. With Los Angeles and Boston winning three straight championships and combining for five of six conference titles, the younger generation of superstars saw super-teams as their best chance to win a ring.
The Jazz knew better than to appeal to Williams' sense of loyalty; great players are playing for their legacy, which depends in large part on their ability to win championships. So instead of sacrificing future assets to bring in role players in a desperate attempt to convince their franchise player to re-sign (Shaquille O'Neal and Antawn Jamison in Cleveland, Jarrett Jack in New Orleans, Hedo Turkoglu and Gilbert Arenas in Orlando), they took the opposite tack: dealing him with 1.5 years remaining on his contract, while they still had leverage in trade negotiations.
The resulting bounty was huge: they acquired a 28-year old point guard (Devin Harris) who had already made an All-Star team as well as two lottery selections -- the Nets' picks in 2010 (Derrick Favors) and 2011. Almost as importantly, by dealing Williams and tanking the rest of the season, they acquired one more lottery pick -- their own. In contrast, Cleveland had already dealt their first round 2010 pick in the Jamison deal, creating a lost transition season where the team was neither competing for the playoffs nor developing good young players.
Now, after acquiring two lottery picks in consecutive drafts and potentially another one next season as they own Golden State's in 2012, Utah is one of the NBA's most promising young teams. They have four long-term starters on rookie deals who "fit" well together: Favors, a 6'10 250 athlete who can protect the rim and defend 4's and 5's, will handle the interior defense; Kanter, a 6'11 260 low-post scorer who can also step out and knock down 18-foot jumpers, will handle the front-court scoring. On the perimeter, Gordon Hayward, a 6'9 shooter, will create driving lanes for Alec Burks, a 6'6 slasher.
And with a strong core in place, they have the luxury of trading their three remaining veterans -- Harris, Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap -- to find complementary pieces.
Unlike their contemporaries, Utah understood that sometimes you have to take two steps backward to take a step forward. Compare them with their division rival in Denver, who tried to reload instead of rebuild when dealing Carmelo Anthony. They were able to stay in the playoff picture, but now they have a roster full of young players coming up for free agency who don't have All-NBA upsides. As a result, the Nuggets are going to be stuck in the 5-8 playoff range the next few years while the Jazz eventually rocket past them, in much the same way as the Thunder did.
Having an All-NBA player is essential to winning a title, but it's only the first step in a long process. And because of the reverse-order draft, the soft salary cap and the nature of guaranteed contracts, there is only a small window to build a championship-nucleus around a great player in the modern NBA.
If you miss that window, as the Jazz did, you're better off confronting reality as soon as possible. Great players aren't going to be fooled by half-measures and late first-round picks. Just look at the situation in New Jersey: in a draft-night interview, Nets coach Avery Johnson cited Brook Lopez, Kris Humphries, Anthony Morrow, Jordan Williams and Marshon Brooks as the core they would build around Williams. This is the group supposed to convince a 27-year old in the prime of his career not to test free agency?
Deron Williams is the best player on either the Jazz or the Nets, but going forward, I'd rather have Utah's roster than New Jersey's.

The stakes have never been higher and no one is safe. But it is Harry who may be called upon to make the ultimate sacrifice as he draws closer to the climactic showdown with Lord Voldemort. It all ends here. Amazon.comThe Deathly Hallows: Part 2 is the film all Harry Potter fans have waited 10 years to see, and the good news is that it's worth the hype--visually stunning, action packed, faithful to the book, and mature not just in its themes and emotion but in the acting by its cast, some of whom had spent half their lives making Harry Potter movies. Part 2 cuts right to the chase: Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) has stolen the Elder Wand, one of the three objects required to give someone power over death (a.k.a. the Deathly Hallows), with the intent to hunt and kill Harry. Meanwhile, Harry's quest to destroy the rest of the Horcruxes (each containing a bit of Voldemort's soul) leads him first to a thrilling (and hilarious--love that Polyjuice Potion!) trip to Gringotts Bank, then back to Hogwarts, where a spectacular battle pitting the young students and professors (a showcase of the British thesps who have stolen every scene of the series: Maggie Smith's McGonagall, Jim Broadbent's Slughorn, David Thewlis's Lupin) against a dark army of Dementors, ogres, and Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter, with far less crazy eyes to make this round). As predicted all throughout the saga, Harry also has his final showdown with Voldemort--neither can live while the other survives--though the physics of that predicament might need a set of crib notes to explain. But while each installment has become progressively grimmer, this finale is the most balanced between light and dark (the dark is quite dark--several familiar characters die, with one significant death particularly grisly); the humor is sprinkled in at the most welcome times, thanks to the deft adaptation by Steve Kloves (who scribed all but one of the films from J.K. Rowling's books) and direction by four-time Potter director David Yates. The climactic kiss between Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson), capping off a decade of romantic tension, is perfectly tuned to their idiosyncratic relationship, and Daniel Radcliffe has, over the last decade, certainly proven he was the right kid for the job all along. As Prof. Snape, the most perfect of casting choices in the best-cast franchise of all time, Alan Rickman breaks your heart. Only the epilogue (and the lack of chemistry between Harry and love Ginny Weasley, barely present here) stand a little shaky, but no matter: the most lucrative franchise in movie history to date has just reached its conclusion, and it's done so without losing its soul. --Ellen A.
