From the Publisher"Bruce Bartlett brandishes a damning history of the Democratic Party, which for 100 years after the Civil War provided a fertile ground for Jim Crow and white supremacy. Democrats have long acted behind an ethos of racial equality, yet, as Bartlett powerfully illustrates, the reality of their patchy record over the last two centuries in fact lends little credibility to that claim. Compelling and incisive."—Grover G. Norquist, President, Americans for Tax Reform
"Wrong on Race is an important contribution to the study of party politics in America. Bartlett offers a thorough, well documented account of the racial roots of the Democratic party. This book should be a required reading for African-Americans of all ages, and especially for the nation's youth."—Carol Swain, Professor of Political Science and Law, Vanderbilt University, and editor of Debating Immigration
"Wrong on Race powerfully recapitulates a twentieth century journey into racial pettifogging and outright confusion, and in doing so shines a light as clear as the meridian sun on the realities of racial politics…Bruce Bartlett has done what no one before him has done, and it is all the more remarkable, therefore, to say that it will probably never be better done."—Professor William B. Allen, Michigan State University; and former chairman, U.S. Civil Rights Commission
"The Democratic party is widely credited, not least by black writers, as the party that has done the most for civil rights. Yet for most of its history it has been the other way around. As Bruce Bartlett points out in Wrong on Race, Democratic icons like Woodrow Wilson worked to impose segregation on blacks, and even Franklin Roosevelt did little for equal rights."—Michael Barone, syndicated columnist, co-author of The Almanac of American Politics, and author of Our First Revolution
Praise for Imposter: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the American Legacy:
"It's a fairly devastating indictment of the current administration's economic policies from a conservative-to-libertarian perspective."—Chris Suellentrop, The Washington Post
"Liberal commentators gripe so frequently about the current administration that it's become easy to tune them out, but when Bartlett, a former member of the Reagan White House, says George W. Bush has betrayed the conservative movement, his conservative credentials command attention."
—Publishers Weekly
"Bruce Bartlett is no impostor. He's the real thing—a reality-based conservative who searches for supportable truths and then speaks them loudly and clearly."
—Ron Suskind, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Price of Loyalty
"Bruce Bartlett has long been one of Washington's most searching, thoughtful, and uncompromisingly candid analysts. That's a view shared not only by those who agree with him, but also by people like me, who differ with him about 80 percent of the time. This book is a perfect reflection of Bruce's gifts: he cares far more about being honest and consistent than about following anyone's party line."
—E. J. Dionne Jr., author of Stand Up Fight Back and Why Americans Hate Politics

Grant will allow Keene State to purchase spectrometer
The grant, administered by the National Science Foundation, will allow the school to purchase the 400 megahertz spectrometer, a scientific instrument that can measure properties of light in order to identify materials. Keene State researchers will use the spectrometer to advance their study of tuberculosis and cholera, among other areas.
The instruments that were invented 50 years ago have a lifespan of 20 years and the new purchase will replace a 20-year-old instrument.
"That's a significant chunk of change for any college, but particularly a small state school," he said. "Without it we would be lost. You wouldn't get the students the experience they need and the faculty research would be impossible. You would really struggle without this instrument."

Automatic Car Accessory
Posted 2014-07-28 11:52 in New-Products by Stephanie Farrell
I drive a lot — two hours a day covering a total of 100 miles. This week, I was shown this cool little device by a coworker and was immediately intrigued.
Automatic is a tiny device you plug into your car's data port and links to your iPhone or Android (download at Google Play) through an app. It provides all sorts of fun information about your driving and your car. At first I thought my 2007 VW Rabbit wouldn't be smart enough to contain the proper hardware to make this work, but Automatic actually works with most cars that have sold in the US since 1996.
The Automatic Link gives you useful information such as gas consumption, time it takes to get to and from places, driving style and car maintenance. It'll also keep track of where you park, which can be helpful in certain situations (I may or may have not lost my car in Brooklyn a few weeks ago…).
Automatic learns your driving style and gives you the appropriate feedback to improve things like wasting gas from accelerating too fast or slamming on the breaks too often. Every week you'll get a driving score to help you improve. They even claim that a high score could save you hundreds on gas every year.
Automatic is priced at $100 and does not have subscription fees. My other car-enthused coworker may just invest in one of these in the near future. I think I may wait to hear his feedback before rushing out to grab one myself, but I think that this could provide some really cool information as well as improve my (sometimes crazed) driving.
Have one yourself? Tell me about it!

Argentina hit Romania for six
ESPNscrum Staff
September 17, 2011
Argentina's Juan Manuel Leguizamon exploits a gap in the Romania defence
© Getty Images
Argentina got their Rugby World Cup campaign back on track with a comprehensive 43-8 victory over Romania in their clash at Rugby Park in Invercargill.
The Pumas ran in six tries with fly-half Santiago Fernandez, flanker Juan Manuel Leguizamon, prop Juan Figallo, fullback Lucas Gonzalez Amorosino and replacements Juan Imhoff and Genaro Fessia all crossing to ensure a return to winning ways following their opening defeat to England last weekend. Winger Ionel Cazan grabbed a first half try for Romania after fly-half Ionut Dimofte had notched a penalty but that was all they could muster against a dominant Argentina side.
Although the match had been billed as a battle between two powerful packs, the Pumas confounded expectations and thrillingly chose to run the ball at almost every opportunity. Fernandez, starting at fly-half instead of injured captain Felipe Contepomi, sliced through some slack defending in the fifth minute for a try near the posts which Martin Rodriguez converted. And just four minutes later flanker Leguizamon collected a pass on the 22 before powering over the line.
Romania were awarded a penalty near the Argentinian line after 13 minutes but opted for a kick at goal, Tiberius Ionut Dimofte successfully landing the penalty. But prop Figallo registered Argentina's third try on 20 minutes after a quick tapped penalty by scrum-half Nicolas Vergallo.
Man of the match Amorosino then showcased his evasive running skills to touch down under the posts before Romania proved they could run the ball as well, setting up winger Cazan to score in the corner on 32 minutes.
As Argentina continued to pile on the pressure in the second half, prop Mihaita Alexandru Lazar was sin-binned for stifling another attack, but that simply delayed the inevitable.
Imhoff scored under the posts just seconds before Lazar's return and Argentina rounded off an entertaining performance in style, going the length of the field for Fessia to score after Romania had spilled the ball near the Pumas' line.

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly taking on a new role: porn star! For the upcoming indie film Inferno, the actress will portray the late Linda Lovelace (most famous for starring in the 1972 hard-core skin flick Deep Throat), according to a source close to the project.
Lohan's photographer pal Tyler Shields -- who is responsible for Lohan's recent gun-toting pics -- recently confirmed the casting news to E! News. Shields says he's talked to the movie's director, Matthew Wilder, and the two are working out the details so that Shields can work with Lohan again. "[Wilder] contacted me and asked me if I would do the promos for the movie," Shields said at the opening of his new exhibition.
Producers plan to officially announce Inferno later this month at the Cannes Film Festival. The real actress known as Lovelace died in 2002 at age 53, as the result of a fatal car wreck.
For now, Lohan plans to keep us talking with additional controversial photos shot by Wilder for his upcoming book The Dirty Side of Glamor. "The photos I have not released will top anything you've seen before," Shields said. "Let's just say they're what you've seen maybe times 10, maybe times 100."

There is a reason the UFC is becoming a dominant sport. Its because it is real sport backed by solid ethics by its ruling body. The NFL has had scandals for the past decade, probably longer, and is so money hungry I don't even believe it's real anymore. In MMA, unless there is a real feud between participants, there is a handshake and congratulations following the event. The only team sport where the handshake is even used is in hockey, in the playoffs. There isn't even room for it in the amateur world of college sports. The sportsmanship in sports is so far gone that it will take some serious legislating to get it back. If a player gets hurt, he will whine about how it was intentional, and will automatically accuse the other party of foul play. I love sports, but to see all semblance of sportsmanship go out the window is a viewport into what our culture has become. There is no respect for the peer, there is no respect for what the other people put in. Is it really that difficult to line up and give the other players a handshake? It may not be sincere, but it is still there and being done, out of respect. It doesn't have to be televised. All we ever see is guys giving their teammates handshakes and hugs. Show some respect for your opponents, all of them, be it the 12 in basketball, 25 in baseball, 19 in hockey, or 53 in football, every one of them work hard and deserve respect from every one of the other players

What has happened to sports?
I dont disagree that the best way to show sportsmanship is to play the game properly. However, not enough playerse do that. They are a minority. I also think its a little eeehh, but being a father who wants to be able to watch sports with his kids, I want them to know that these people play by the same rules, and have some respect for their opponents and fans.

What has happened to sports?
I played sport up thru JC and lining up and shaking hands after the game played out in little league. To me the best form of sportsmanship is playing the game the right way while on the field. I can say whatup to you afterwards but knowing you were a strong competitor is all I need to know. If you played straight with in the rule, and the unwritten rules(Hammels hitting Harper) then a hand shake isnt important. I get where you're coming from but to me that was always...ehhhhh.

What has happened to sports?
I understand what you are saying. The problem lies in the fact that these are players shaking the hand of players they know. I want to see a line up and handshake- teach our kids how sportsmanship really works. If you have the luxury to go to a game (which FTR I don't) watch afterward and you see guys smiling and laughing on both sides during the handshakes. This is not sportsmanship, its friendship. As a father, I want these people not to be my kids' role models, but to be role models for sportsmanship.

What has happened to sports?
You made the point in your post. IT ISNT TELEVISED. Pay close attention to right after games and you WILL see players go to the opposition and start shaking hands but it only last for a second or two before BSPN goes to interview LeBron or Tebow.

"When it started to rain before 11 a.m., I got a little nervous," Haas said.
The day concluded with a performance by the Blues Brothers — The Next Generation band outside Windham High School, followed by fireworks.
Joanis had an eventful weekend, indeed. Following Saturday's performance of the national anthem in her hometown, she performed yet again to a somewhat larger crowd gathered at Boston's Fenway Park, where she sang at the start of Red Sox afternoon home game.

Sunday, Monday, Happy Days!A nostalgic ABC comedy series set in Milwaukee in The Fifties, focusing on squeaky-clean Richie Cunningham (Ron Howard), who constantly gets into trouble through circumstance, naivete or the bad influence of his friends, and is usually bailed out by his parents or the super-cool Fonz. It was a low-rated show early on, but soon became a smash hit and #1 series that ended up having a massive legacy, and enduring fame. Early episodes achieved a kind of brilliant self-parody, but the show went way longer than it should have, and was ultimately the inspiration for the phrase Jumping the Shark.Happy Days originated as an episode of the Genre Anthology Love American Style but also drew both cast and conceptual elements from the movie American Graffiti. It likewise spun off several shows, the most successful of these being Laverne and Shirley and Mork and Mindy.Richie the Everyman was paired up with Those Two Guys Ralph Malph and Potsie, and most episodes surrounded their hijinks. The Fonz was a former street hoodlum-turned friendly character (a pastiche of '50s greasers), who gave street-smart advice and aided the boys whenever he could, while trying not to lose his tough-guy edge. Richie's parents, Howard and Marion, were classic '50s sitcom parents in the Father Knows Best mold, and he had a little sister in Joanie. Later on, Chachi was introduced to the cast as Fonzie's cousin to skew the fanbase a bit younger. Eventually, by season eight (and one shark jump), Richie and Ralph had left the series, and Fonzie took over as the lead character. The focus also shifted to Joanie and Chachi as main characters, and started featuring many unpopular replacements and new characters, none of which had any lasting pop culture influence. It finally ended after ten long years with a Grand Finale of epic proportions: Joanie and Chachi got married, and Howard spoke to the audience as a clip of past events showed.Frequently parodied for being over-the-top, cutesy and having silly characters, it's also equally admired in pop culture for its iconic characters (Richie as the nice guy, Ralph as the jokester, Fonzie as the cool ladies' man, Howard and Marion as the ideal sitcom parents). Its influence in terms of character archetypes, tropes and catchphrases cannot be overstated.

Written By Steve O'Neil
In June, a man named Uncle Raoul was driving through a rocky gorge in Western North Carolina when he came upon an adult female Eastern Box Turtle sitting in the road. He stopped his car to help the turtle across the street because they are usually not lost and do not need to be rescued and do not need to be taken to a new location — but this one was different.
The gorge had steep cliffs on either side of the road and the turtle had an eye injury that rendered its left eye swollen closed. The man deduced that the turtle had probably slipped and fallen from the woods at the top of the cliff and had bounced and rolled down into the road only moments before he had arrived on the scene. He understood that the turtle needed veterinary care so he picked her up and took her home.
He promptly networked with a friend to get the turtle to me close to 50 miles away. I am a wildlife rehabilitator so I took the turtle — Cullasaja I have named her — to my reptile veterinarian Dr. Coleman at Haywood Animal Hospital in Hendersonville, NC. Dr. Coleman said that Cullasaja was uninjured other than the swollen eye, so he prescribed special eye drops to relieve the conjunctivitis.
About a month later, Cullasaja's eye opened to reveal a damaged pupil and an unusual blue colored iris (most female Eastern Box Turtles have brownish irises). Dr. Coleman said that it looked like she had a badly damaged eye and that it seemed to be sightless and that she may have injured it in the fall.
A Plastic Tub Full of Moss Is No Home For a Turtle
Although blind in the left eye, Cullasaja needed to be returned to the wild because a plastic tub full of leaves and moss is not a home for a wild box turtle. She needed to be back in the wild as close to home as possible so that she could be an active part of a healthy ecosystem. The problem was — where exactly was her home? I contacted the woman who had brought Cullasaja to me and she put me in touch with Uncle Raoul who had found her in the road. He sent me several Google Earth images of her discovery location and he even drove back to the site to determine where exactly he had found her.
Then we talked on the phone and determined the best course of action. We decided that because box turtles have a very strong homing instinct she would need to be returned as close as possible to her discovery location — but that location was not safe in any way due to the steep cliffs and the road. We eventually decided that the forested mountainside several hundred yards above the cliffs would be the best site to release her because the cliffs below the road were just too steep and rocky and at the bottom of the cliffs was the fast flowing Cullasaja river.
Then, in late August I set out to return Cullasaja to as close to her home as possible. I had no difficulty finding the site and after a drive in the woods along a wooded mountain ridge, I found a good spot to release her and said goodbye to Cullasaja. I had no way of knowing that where I released her was her home area — but I did know that it was very near her discovery location on the road below the cliffs so her home area was not far away. I also know that box turtles are better navigators than humans so I feel assured that after I released her near her home she would have oriented towards her preferred area and would then find it on her own, even with just one eye.
As I drove away, I felt a great sense of accomplishment knowing that I had helped a turtle get back to its home. This would not have been possible without all of the people who helped make it happen, especially Uncle Raoul. Thank you to you all — you know who you are!
Watch a video of Cullasaja's release HERE.
A note about box turtles that you find crossing the road: turtles crossing roads are not lost — they are on the move between points of "business" — feeding sites, wintering sites, watering and nesting sites and so on. Unless they are injured as Cullasaja was, they do not need to be rescued, only moved across the road to the side that they are walking or pointing towards. Simply pick them up and carry them into the woods a few yards and release them.
Box turtles are land turtles, so do not drop them into deep water since they cannot swim — they will sink and drown. Please do not take them home as a "pet" or move them to a new place. This stresses them and can cause sickness and death. Relocated turtles that are moved far from home will often attempt to walk home and will usually die in the process. Simply help them across the road: that is all they need.
If you find an injured turtle, please take it to a veterinarian or wildlife rehabilitator and be sure to remember the exact discovery location so the turtle can be returned after it recovers.

Wow! Well done, everyone involved. Thank you for a great story and some valuable information about turtles.
This is a wonderful story with a happy ending.
When I would drive out to my Mother's house in the country every day, I'd often come upon turtles crossing the road. I always stopped to help them across, if possible. One day I was going the wrong way and too fast to get stopped, so I headed up to the nearest driveway to turn around. Just as I was starting back, the a$$hole in the car ahead of me swerved and deliberately crushed the turtle. If I could have, I would have pulled the little punk out of his car and "taught" him a lesson, but there was no way to catch him. Every turtle that I helped was going to or from the river, and knowing that people out there deliberately and gleefully kill them makes me so angry that I want to scream. I'm SO glad that there are other like Uncle Raoul who do the right thing by turtles!
wonderful story,thank you for sharing 18/7
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for helping this beautiful turtle. I pray she wasn't a domesticated turtle of which someone decided they no longer wanted thus the reason for finding her in a very odd place.

text: World Dependence on Fish • Fish account for 15% of world protein supply • One billion people rely on fish as their main source of animal proteins • Dependence on fish is higher in coastal areas • Some small island nations depend on fish almost exclusively • 95 million tons of fish production are harvested directly from wild populations (salt and fresh water) • Another 35 million tons are harvested from aquaculture • Most fish are used directly for food – although increasingly fish provide animals feeds etc • 35 million people are directly employed in fishing • International trade in fish products was $US 55 billion which is greater than the individual gross domestic product of over 70% of the world's nations [Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (2002)] Major depletion of world fish stocks •A recent paper in PLOS Biology reviews some of the current problems with the fishing industry and fish stocks around the world [Gewin (2004)] Key points cited in the paper include: A recent Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) states that: "28% of global [fish] stocks are significantly depleted or overexploited, and 47% are either fully exploited or meet the target maximum sustainable yields. Only 24% of global [fish] stocks are either under- or moderately exploited." • "Most of the line fish around the coast of South Africa are depleted to 5-15% of pristine levels" •"[Asian] commercial fish species have been depleted to 10-30% of what they were 30-40 years ago." •"FAO estimates that roughly one-quarter of the marine commercial catch destined for human consumption – some 18-40 million metric tons of fish - is thrown back into the sea, a harvest catch that is never utilized or counted." •"It is estimated that the illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fisheries surpass allowed fishing quotas by 300%". •"Even sustainable harvest rates reduce fish populations quickly. If the goal is a productive fishery, we're automatically talking about up to a 70% decline across the board." •Atlantic cod have declined by almost 90% "Atlantic cod in Canadian waters suffered a total population collapse and are now on Canada's endangered species list." •"By the time a significant declining trend has been detected by traditional catch assessments, [fish] stocks are likely to be in poor shape, if not already depleted." •"The global ocean has lost more than 90% of large predatory fishes, such as marlin, sharks and rays." •"Based on the available information, it is not unusual for fish populations to show little or no recovery even after 15 years [after exploitation ceases]." •" In the case of Antarctic species, some overexploited populations remain at less than 5% pre-exploitation abundance after 30 years." The paper does however have some positive points: • "In a review of 89 studies of [Marine Protected Areas]…the average number of fish inside a reserve increases between 60% -and 150%." Other signs of decline • Industrialized fisheries typically reduce community biomass by 80% within 15 years of exploitation • 55 species of marine fish have lost at least part of their geographical range • 3 species of marine fish have gone extinct over the past two centuries • An analysis of 230 fish populations showed an 83% reduction from known historic levels. Researchers point out that 'known historic levels' often underestimates true historic population [Hutchings and Reynolds (2004)] Historical Populations • Humans have been disturbing marine ecosystems since they first learned how to fish • There have been major changes in the structure and nature of coastal marine ecosystems over many centuries • Overfishing and ecological extinction predate and precondition modern studies on marine ecosystems and recent collapses of fish stocks etc. Jackson et al. (2001) Historical Populations • Fisheries management based on recent data only may be misleading e.g. the earliest data on surveys on fish stocks may already be on over exploited populations • Jackson et al. (2001) suggest using historical data measured in centuries rather than decades to: – Can provide the missing baseline for future restoration efforts – Raise the possibility that many more marine ecosystems may be vulnerable to collapse in the near future Jackson et al. (2001) Jackson et al. (2001) Are our estimates correct? An example • In 1996, Red Snapper was put under strict management in the U.S. after overexploitation • This created an incentive to substitute less valuable fish on the Red Snapper market • A recent study showed that three-quarters of the fish sold in the United States as 'red snapper' belonged to another species Marko (2004) • It's unclear where the mislabelling occurred but could cause incorrect estimates of stock size if it influences the reporting of catch data Marko (2004) • It also creates an impression among the public that there is a plentiful supply of that fish • And finally, the substituted fish may be not monitored causing a large scale but unidentified exploitation of the substitute species Fishing Down the Food Web • The mean trophic level of commercial species declined from 1950 to 1994 • This reflects a gradual transition from: long-lived, high trophic level, piscivorous (fish eating) bottom fish toward short-lived, low trophic level invertebrates and planktivorous pelagic fish [Pauly et al. (1998)] Fishing Down the Food Web • Large predatory fish biomass today is estimated to be only about 10% of pre- industrial levels (sharks, skates, rays, and marlin) [Myers and Worm (2003)] • These effects are most pronounced in the Northern Hemisphere • This has serious consequences for ecosystems [Pauly et al. (1998)] Fishing Down the Food Web Recovery from Exploitation • Various studies suggest that fish do not recover rapidly from overexploitation • Research for 90 fish stocks revealed that 15 years after collapse, 40% of gadids (haddock, cod, and flatfishes) had little, if any, recovery • Only 12% exhibited full recovery – All were clupeids (herring and related species) – attributable to earlier maturity, reduced vulnerability to incidental exploitation or bycatch, and possibly reduced probability of habitat destruction by fishing gear due to pelagic lifestyle [Hutchings (2000); Hutchings and Reynolds (2004)] Recovery from Exploitation • It is not unusual for populations that have declined more than 60% (over 15 years) to exhibit little or no recovery as much as 15 years later [Hutchings (2000); Hutchings and Reynolds (2004)] Problems that Prevent Recovery • slow response by managers to address depletion; • inability to reduce anthropogenic removals/mortality to zero (e.g., by-catch continues); • public/user-group perceptions that are unsupported by science that delay or alter the nature of the managerial response; • the allee effect (small population sizes lead to proportionally increased rates of predation, reduced mating success and reduced fertility); [Hutchings and Reynolds (2004)] Problems that Prevent Recovery • reduced numbers of adults can lead to increased predation of juveniles and inter- specific competition and predation; • reduced abundance of top predators causing a shift in ecosystems that may impact recovery; • selective harvesting - the largest most successful animals are targeted whereas animals with lower fitness stay in the population. [ Hutchings and Reynolds (2004)] Problems that Prevent Recovery The impacts of inappropriate fisheries management are illustrated by the Canadian stock of Atlantic cod – within 30 years the stock declined by 99.9% in some areas. [ Hutchings and Reynolds (2004)] What does recovery require? • Reductions in fishing are necessary, but not always sufficient, for recovery • It is near impossible to reduce fishing mortality to zero because of bycatch • Closed fisheries must remain closed until a target level is reached -rather than being reopened at the first sign of population growth Difficulties in detecting decline • Researchers in the North Sea investigated the statistical power to detect declines in fish stocks. • They discovered that the ability to detect a decline in fisheries with a period less than decades was low • Also the ability to detect declines that could prompt listing under the IUCN Red Lists was also low [Maxwell & Jennings (2005)] Difficulties in detecting decline and recovery • Also at least 5-10 years of dedicated monitoring needed to tell if a population has recovered. • Conservationists cannot rely on statistical certainty to show that a population is in decline, if a decline is statistically recognizable it may be too late • This reinforces the need for the precautionary principle Maxwell and Jennings (2005) The Role of Economics • Many global fisheries overshot their economic threshold some time in the past - i.e. that have become financially unprofitable because of: -declining fish numbers, -declining value of fish and - expense of harvesting But government subsidies have allowed fishing to continue so that the "ecological" threshold has now also been exceeded The Role of Economics • A consequence of the subsidies is that energy efficiency is plummeting • On average, for every metric ton of fuel consumed, only 1.5 metric tons of fish are harvested. • Some fisheries are orders of magnitude worse • For example, catching a metric ton of shrimp may cost 100 metric tons of fuel. The Role of Economics • But governments keep subsidizing large scale fishing operations and vessels, with better technology to find fish and extract • Small scale operations would be more efficient and less damaging to fish stocks and the environment • But big companies are better are lobbying governments… Atlantic Cod Hutchings ( 2004b) • In the early 1960s, Gadus morhua extended from southeastern Labrador south to the northern half of the Grand Bank • The population numbered almost two billion breeding individuals and comprised 75% to 80% of Canada's cod • Landings were highest at 800,000 tons in 1968 • In 1976, establishment of the EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) excluded foreign ships from the cod fishery and reduced total landings • Through the 1980's, landings were 250,000 tons Atlantic Cod • Since 1983, the population declined more than 99.9% • The primary cause for decline was over- exploitation • Significant reductions in age and size at maturity were brought on by fishery induced genetic changes - due to catches there was selective pressure for smaller faster maturing animals [Olsen et al. (2004)] Atlantic Cod • The directed commercial fishery was closed in 1992 • The fishery remains open for individual sustenance needs under strict controls • In 2001, two out of every three cod older than 1 year were still being caught by the fishery Atlantic Cod Atlantic Cod • Main threats to recovery include: – Directed fishing – Non-directed fishing – Bycatch • Other Threats: – Altered biological ecosystems – Changes to the magnitude and types of species interactions – Fishery-induced changes to life history Peruvian Anchoveta Clark (1976) • After WWII, a large anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) market developed in the Peru upwelling • The anchovy catch doubled each year from 100,000 tons in 1955 to 8 million tons in 1965 • The first fishery assessment (1965) showed the stock was fully exploited • The catch was limited to this amount for the next few seasons. Peruvian Anchoveta Clark (1976) • Later studies showed the stock could yield 10 million tons per year so the quota was raised in 1968 • By 1971, the fishery appeared to be a model of successful management • In 1972, recruitment failed and a severe El Nino event crowded the adults near the coast where they were subject to heavy fishing and the fishery collapsed Peruvian Anchoveta • Subsequent research showed that in the Pacific, air and ocean temperatures, atmospheric carbon dioxide, fish landings, and the productivity of coastal and open ocean ecosystems have varied over periods of about 50 years. • Large-scale changes in ocean temperatures result in fluctuations between a warm sardine regime and a cool anchovy regime with each regime lasting approximately 25 years • In the 20th century, there were: – cool phases 1900 to 1925, 1950 to 1975 – warm phases 1925 to 1950, 1975 to the mid-1990s • This matches up perfectly with the collapse of the California sardine fishery in the early 1950's [Chavez et al. (2003)] Lessons Learned • Large-scale, naturally occurring variations must be taken into account when considering human-induced climate change and the management of ocean living resources • Sustainability requires that each system falls within its normal range of natural variation Lessons Learned • Commercial species cannot be managed in isolation from the ecosystems that they occupy • Humans must be considered part of ecosystems and the biosphere, subject to the same natural laws and benefiting from the same supporting services as other species Damage caused by fishing gear • Although the impacts of over-fishing are a cause for concern, damage caused by fishing gear on benthic marine species and habitats are also a major issue. • Generally mobile, bottom-fishing gears are considered to cause more habitat damage then pelagic gear. [Chuenpagdee et al. (2003)] Damage caused by fishing gear • It is suggested that ecosystem-based fisheries management include shifting from damaging to non-damaging fishing gear types. • In cases where collateral impacts cannot be addressed by alternative fishing gears and practices, implementing closed areas is the only way to protect health ocean ecosystems and species. • It has been suggested "emphasis be given to educating both the fishing industry and the public about the importance of the ecosystem impacts of fishing and the need for ecologically friendly practices." [Chuenpagdee et al. (2003)] By-catch and conflict • Incidental by-catch discarded after capture (as much as ¼ the total catch = 18-40 million tons!) • Affects on predatory fishes, turtles, birds and mammals • Also as available fish stocks for human use decrease, control of natural predators causes conservation management conflicts Human impacts on ecosystems may be more severe than previously thought Roberts (2003) discusses five major shifts in perspective "that reveal [human] impacts [on ocean ecosystems] to be more severe and persistent than previously appreciated". Theses include: (1) Historical analyses indicate that "the global expansion of European nations across the planet caused a large scale loss of marine megafauna." Also in the past century the "expansion of industrial scale fishing has continued the process, massively reducing the biomass of exploited species." (2) "Once depleted we are finding that populations rarely rebound rapidly, contrary to a widespread belief in greater resilience of marine compared to terrestrial species". (3) "Marine ecosystems are being shifted into alternative states that are less desirable from the human perspective." Moreover, "it could be difficult, or impossible in some cases, to reverse impacts once inflicted." (4) There is a high risk of extinction for many marine species, and shallow water marine habitat loss is "proceeding as rapidly as on land", and the distribution and ecology of many shallow marine species make them "highly susceptible to overexploitation". (5) Technological advances are allowing exploitation of deep sea resources and inevitable collateral habitat degradation. To reverse these trends, to protect biodiversity and to stimulate the recovery of the world's fisheries the Roberts suggests the instigation of "large-scale networks of marine reserves that are off limits to damaging activities and fishing." [Roberts (2003)] Re-Thinking Fisheries Management Gewin (2004) discusses the rising issue that uncertainty needs to be incorporated into fisheries management models (i.e. there is a lot that we don't know) Currently this is rarely into account and may be endangering stocks. Also environmental changes can have major impacts fish stocks (e.g. Peruvian anchoveta) and this is rarely taken into consideration. Re-Thinking Fisheries Management Likewise managers do not recognise how competitors can overtake a depleted species niche making recovery difficult. Finally, Gewin notes that fisheries managers in the northeast Atlantic data are collected on only 55 of 250 species – issues that make full ecosystem-based management difficult at best. Gewin (2004) IUCN Resolution At the 3rd IUCN Congress, a resolution on sustainable management of the High Seas was passed that called for: • Members to implement the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fishing and to enforce measures from several international agreements to ensure sustainable use of High Seas marine resources; • The development of new international mechanisms (via UNCLOS) for the governance, management, protection and restoration of marine biodiversity and productivity in the High Seas; • The taking of immediate action to eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; • An upgrading of regional fisheries management organisations to adopt procedures that take into account ecosystem-based, precautionary approaches to minimise impacts on marine ecosystems; IUCN Resolution • Investigation into ways to enforce actions on flag states that fail to control domestically registered vessels; • Establish a global network of marine protected areas beyond national jurisdictions and to develop scientific and legal bases for their establishment, by 2012; • Support of scientific research into high seas biodiversity and ecological processes to ensure the sustainability of human activities. (SOURCE: IUCN 2004. CGR3. RES057-REV1. Conservation and Sustainable Management of High Seas Biodiversity. 3rd IUCN Congress, 17-25 November 2004, Bangkok, Thailand) But one scientist is quoted in Gewin (2004) saying: "…it's naïve to think that modifying and improving models will necessarily lead to improved natural resource management." Another stated: "The big mistake is suggesting that you can manage fish stocks….we can only manage human activity." References • Chavez, F.P., J. Ryan, S.E. Lluch-Cota, and M. Niquen C. 2003.

NFL Nation: MNF7 Broncos
Through 5 starts, Cassel measures up to Brady
Less than two weeks ago, New England Patriots fans were lobbying for quarterback Matt Cassel to return to the sideline so rookie Kevin O'Connell could take a shot.
One game later, Cassel's all right.
"That's part of it I guess," Cassel said. "You have to take the good with the bad. As the quarterback, they are always looking at you, whether it's good or bad. This week, it obviously turned out on the plus side. Hopefully, we will continue that."
Cassel earned AFC offensive player of the week honors for his performance in Monday night's pummeling of the Denver Broncos. Cassel took six sacks, but he completed 18 of 24 passes for 185 yards, three touchdowns and a 136.3 passer rating.
And get this: Cassel's stats are remarkably similar to Tom Brady's when he took over in 2001.
Through their first five starts, they both went 3-2. Brady averaged only 16 more yards per game than Cassel has, while Cassel's 65.5 completion percentage is slightly higher than Brady's.
Brady threw seven touchdowns and four interceptions. Cassel has thrown five touchdowns and as many interceptions.
Patriots' swinging season continues
|Jim Rogash/Getty Images
|Randy Moss caught a pair of touchdown passes Monday night.
Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Graham
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- For at least one game and one night, the New England Patriots rediscovered the joys of domination.
"We had a lot of things to hang our hats on tonight coming from all three units," Patriots receiver Randy Moss said. "We put it together. I think that when we put all three of those together this team is very, very scary. "
The inconsistent Patriots maintained their back-and-forth ways Monday night with a no-doubt 41-7 victory over the Denver Broncos at Gillette Stadium.
Who saw that coming? The Patriots were coming off a game in which the San Diego Chargers turned New England's secondary to cinders. The Broncos showed up with the NFL's third-ranked passing offense but might as well have scheduled an autumnal New England drive instead of a football game.
A loss would have dropped the Patriots two games behind the first-place Buffalo Bills, so they ended up winning their first home game since the season opener.
Bill Belichick, so robotic he packs WD-40 in his shaving kit, surprised his players in the two days before the game by telling them to have more fun.
"In the four years that I've been here, I've never heard Bill say 'Go out there, cut it loose and have some fun,' " cornerback Ellis Hobbs said. "We were jumping around, slapping each other, this and that. That's a great feeling out there. That's a great look out there. We had fun tonight."
There was a lot for a Patriots fan to be excited about. But there was also plenty cause for concern.
Three reasons the Patriots have figured it out
1. Revitalized running game: The Patriots have problems at running back, but they figured out a way to churn out rushing yardage anyway.
Before the game they ended Laurence Maroney's season by placing him on injured reserve with a bum shoulder. A calf injury has sidelined LaMont Jordan two straight games.
So, old pro Sammy Morris had the greatest game of his nine-year NFL career, and he didn't play a down in the second half. Morris rushed for 138 yards, the Patriots' highest first-half total since Robert Edwards amassed 166 in December 1998.
And when Morris went out of the game with a knee injury of indeterminate severity, the Patriots kept plowing onward. BenJarvus Green-Ellis (65 yards) and Kevin Faulk (50 yards) broke off several nice runs.
The Patriots finished with 257 rushing yards, their most since December 1985.
"We knew we could run on them," guard Logan Mankins said. "We assumed we could. We saw other teams do it, and we feel we can run the ball on most nights. The backs hit the holes hard. You give them a little crease, they're going to hit it."
2. Cassel, Moss connect: For only the second time in his last 31 games without Tom Brady as his quarterback, Moss had two touchdowns. The only other time it happened in that stretch was in the 2005 Oakland Raiders season finale. Kerry Collins was his quarterback.
Matt Cassel had his first three-touchdown game. He completed 18 of 24 passes for 185 yards and no interceptions for a 136.3 passer rating.
"I'd like to think that I continue to grow each and every week," Cassel said. "The more you run this offense the more comfortable you become. There's a lot of details that you have to be on top of if you want to be successful."
3. Defense makes big plays: The Patriots' secondary rebounded from a duck-and-cover performance to shut down Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler and two of the NFL's leading receivers, Brandon Marshall and Eddie Royal.
The Patriots forced five turnovers -- three fumbles and two interceptions.
The Broncos came into the game having allowed only two sacks. The Patriots recorded three sacks on Monday night.
Cutler finished with a 64.3 passer rating, less than half of Cassel's.
Three reasons the Patriots haven't figured it out
1. Mounting injuries: New England already was down several players. Two talented running backs were out. So were starting right tackle Nick Kaczur and defensive lineman Jarvis Green.
Two potentially devastating losses occurred during the game. We don't know how serious the knee injuries to safety Rodney Harrison and Morris are.
Harrison was carted off the field after medical personnel immobilized his right knee at the end of the third quarter.
Said Belichick: "It doesn't look too good" for Harrison.
"He means a lot," Patriots safety James Sanders said. "He is a future Hall of Famer. He is one of the best to play the game. He has taught me a lot since I've been in New England. He means a lot to me as a football player and a friend.
"I don't know his status now. If he misses time, we will miss him."
2. Too many sacks: The Broncos sacked Cassel six times, driving up the
season total to 25. The Patriots allowed only 21 sacks all last year.
"We still have some problems in pass protection," Mankins said. "We'll get that straightened out. Well, we better get it straightened out, or it's going to be a long year."
3. Tough schedule: The Patriots' upcoming opponents don't provide any easy marks. Next up are the resurgent St. Louis Rams at Gillette Stadium. The Rams, under new head coach Jim Haslett, have won two in a row against perceived NFC East powers.
"We all saw what St. Louis did to Dallas this weekend," said starting right tackle Mark LeVoir. "They're back on track. They're a good team. We've got to get ready to go for them."
The Patriots are programmed not to talk about anything beyond the next game, but that won't stop us from listing their opponents. After the Rams, the schedule through November includes the Indianapolis Colts, Bills, New York Jets, Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Rapid Reaction: Patriots 41, Broncos 7
Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson
That was a first place team?
The Broncos had to take total control of the AFC West with a win Monday night, but they ended up taking a step backward.
Now the sloppy and banged up Broncos head to their bye week with a 4-3 record and just a one game lead over San Diego. The Chargers have to be feeling very good right now as they begin their week in Europe.
The Broncos were terrible on defense and committed five turnovers. These are problems that have been plaguing this team. Denver has talent on offense but they have to keep their hands on the ball.
Denver is floundering on defense. They were exploited in the passing and running games and with Champ Bailey potentially out with a groin injury, Denver could have big problems when it comes out of the bye week.
The Broncos did not play like a first-place team Monday night and if they continue to play this way, they won't be in first place in the standings either.
Rapid Reaction: Patriots 41, Broncos 7
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- So what do we make of this?
More than ever this season, the New England Patriots looked like their 2007 version Monday night in Gillette Stadium.
Aside from the troubling trend of allowing too many sacks, the Patriots rebounded from an ugly loss to dominate the Denver Broncos, 41-7.
In alternating games, starting in Week 3, the Patriots have allowed 38 points, scored 30 points, allowed 30 points and scored 41 points.
Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel looked like a suitable proxy with his first three-touchdown game. Randy Moss scored two touchdowns. Wes Welker had the other.
Sammy Morris ran for 138 yards in the first half, and when he left the game with a knee injury BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Kevin Faulk ripped off some runs behind the Pro Bowlers on the left side of the offensive line.
The Patriots' defense made several big plays. They recorded sacks, made interceptions, forced fumbles -- you name it.
Patriots' Harrison carted off field
Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Graham
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots safety Rodney Harrison waved to the Gillette Stadium crowd amid a thunderous ovation while a cart drove him off the field in between the third and fourth quarters of Monday night's game against the Denver Broncos.
Medical personnel immobilized Harrison's right knee as they assisted him onto the cart after a long delay. There has been no announcement on the severity of the injury other than he will not return.
Patriots' Morris out; Broncos' Cutler returns
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots running back Sammy Morris had a career game in just the first half. Now, he's out with a knee injury and his return is questionable for Monday night's game against the Denver Broncos in Gillette Stadium.
Morris ran for a personal-best 138 yards and a touchdown before halftime. That ties Morris for the 10th-highest first-half total since 2001, according to ESPN researcher Benjamin Lerner. The last rusher with at least 138 first-half yards was Denver's Selvin Young, who ran for 143 last December.
Before the game, the Patriots ended running back Laurence Maroney's season by placing him on injured reserve and deactivated LaMont Jordan, who's battling a calf problem.
For the Broncos, cornerback Champ Bailey and linebacker Boss Bailey will not return to the field, but quarterback Jay Cutler resumed control of the offense on the first series of the second half.
Champ Bailey is out with a groin injury, while Boss Bailey is out with a knee injury.
Halftime look at Denver's QB situation
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Here are some more notes on the Denver Broncos quarterback situation in Monday night's game against the New England Patriots in Gillette Stadium. The Patriots lead the Broncos, 20-0.
- A press box announcement has been made that Jay Cutler has suffered a finger injury, and his return is questionable. He appeared to strike his hand on Patriots nose tackle Vince Wilfork's helmet while throwing a ball that was intercepted by Brandon Meriweather late in the second quarter.
- Replacement quarterback Patrick Ramsey entered for the Broncos and, on his fourth snap, fumbled while dropping back to pass.
- The Broncos carry only two quarterbacks. No third-stringer exists, and nobody seems to know who the disaster quarterback is.
- Ramsey entered Monday with only seven games played over the past three-plus seasons. He has made only 74 throws in that span.
Broncos' Bailey sidelined with groin injury
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Denver Broncos are dropping.
In a development New England Patriots receiver Randy Moss must love, lockdown cornerback Champ Bailey has a strained groin, and his return is questionable. He appeared to be in agony, lying on his back on a trainers table on the Broncos sideline at the two-minute warning in the second quarter.
And before I could hit the button to publish this entry, Matt Cassel connected with Moss for a 13-yard touchdown over Dre Bly and a 20-0 Patriots lead with 44 seconds left in the first half.
Cutler hurt; Ramsey warming up
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler has suffered an apparent injury to his throwing hand.
He was hurt after throwing a long ball that was intercepted by New England Patriots safety Brandon Meriweather with 5:10 left in the second quarter.
Cutler's throwing hand has been packed in ice. Broncos backup Patrick Ramsey is warming up on the sideline.
Patriots' Morris trampling Broncos
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- New England Patriots running back Sammy Morris is well on his way to a career day.
With 7:34 left in the first half against the Denver Broncos at Gillette Stadium, he has 11 carries for 106 yards and a touchdown. Thanks to Morris, the Patriots are up 13-0.
The best game of Morris' career came as a Miami Dolphin in December 2006 against the Patriots. He ran a career-high 25 times for a career-high 123 yards.
Unless Morris gets thrown for some WWE-style losses, he will finish the game with more than 100 yards for the third time in four games. He came into this season with a single 100-yard game on his resume.
Morris, 31, has been getting a majority of the carries because of injuries to Laurence Maroney and LaMont Jordan.
In sixth game, Pats surpass sack total from '07
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The New England Patriots are not having any trouble on the ground against the Denver Broncos.
Not even three minutes into the second quarter, Sammy Morris has 66 yards, mostly running left behind Pro Bowlers Dan Koppen and Matt Light.
And quarterback Matt Cassel has been sacked three times for 17 yards.
Cassel has been sacked 22 times (and counting) this season. Tom Brady was sacked 21 times all last year.
Two carries, two fumbles for Denver RB Hall
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Andre Hall might want to find a nice slab of bench on the Denver Broncos' sideline. Or a hole to climb into.
Hall has two rush attempts for minus-7 yards and two lost fumbles. Not exactly a stat line you want on the back of your trading card.
The New England Patriots turned both fumbles into field goals. Stephen Gostkowski has made kicks of 31 and 40 yards to give them a 6-0 lead late in the first quarter.
Hall, a second-year pro out of South Florida, came into the game when starting running back Michael Pittman suffered a minor injury that briefly sidelined him on the opening drive. The Broncos had converted three third downs and driven to the Patriots' 32-yard line when Hall lost his handle.
Hall fumbled again on the fourth play of their second drive. The ball was snapped from the New England 37-yard line but was recovered on the Denver 22.
Broncos offense loses two targets, gets Royal back
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The NFL's third-ranked pass offense will have to manage without two of their more dangerous targets, but one of them is back.
Eddie Royal, their second-leading receiver with 30 catches and 321 yards, is back on the field after an ankle injury held him out of last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Jay Cutler will not have receiver Brandon Stokley or tight end Tony Scheffler in his huddle. Both are inactive and in street clothes.
Stokley is out because he suffered against Jaguars. Stokley has 16 catches for 161 yards and two touchdowns in his past three games.
Scheffler has a groin injury. He has 16 catches for 259 yards and two touchdowns this season.
Also out for the Broncos with a groin injury is leading rusher Selvin Young, who has 266 yards and one touchdown. But Michael Pittman is coming off a 109-yard performance and has scored a team-high four touchdowns.

I had the privilege of speaking with Joe and Terry Graedon, founders of The People's Pharmacy, on their syndicated NPR show ( free p odcast here) broadcast today)!, about how we're trying to make your health and health care awesome with the right food.
Their questions made me think about why it's so important to help people wherever they are starting.
For example, I love farmer's markets. I give market tours, I know many farmers personally, I created a PBS DVD library on how to eat healthy (available for a donation to PBS , which I support) and I love to cook locally grown foods.
But most people buy food shipped into supermarkets, and are worried and time-pressed about cooking.
So it's become more important to me to show how to buy and cook any broccoli , even bad broccoli (as Mark Bittman writes) than to search out the most pristine, tight head. Or to explore the wonders of the youngest broccosprouts (highest in sulforphane, and patented by Johns Hopkins).
Getting people to cook more–and people are catching up and catching on–is the key to helping them lose weight. Especially men .
So if you were going to stock a kitchen medicine chest, like the one I describe in the ChefMD book , and you wanted just 10 foods instead of the 50 I name, what would they be and why? Here are mine:
Broccoli: detoxify carcinogens, reduce estrogen levels
Chilies: faster metabolism, better control of diabetes
Dark Chocolate: lower blood pressure, improve insulin sensitivity
Cinnamon: lower LDL cholesterol, improve insulin sensitivity
Fish: fewer heart attacks, fewer strokes
