Governor Deval L. Patrick
11th Annual Meeting of the International Society for Stem Cell Research
Boston Convention and Exhibition Center
Wednesday, June 12, 2013
Thank you very much for the nice introduction, and I just wanted to come by – I won't keep you from your work for long – but just to welcome you, warmly, to Massachusetts and to tell you why you're in the right place at the right time.
We have nearly 300 colleges and universities within an hour-and-a-half's drive of where you sit right now. But for a long time, and until recently, their collaboration with each other and with the private sector was not as robust as it might have been.
We also have had stem cell research trapped in ideologically stalemate until 2007 when I came to office, and we set about – with the help of many, many in the industry; many in the universities – a number of entrepreneurs whose ideas had died in the so-called valley of death between proof of concept and the readiness of commercialism, and we crafted what was described as our life sciences initiative, a $1 billion public commitment to invest in, stimulate and strengthen our life sciences and biotech sector, of which stem cell research is key.
We were not undertaking this to substitute for the private sector; no government can do that. But there were ways in which we thought we could stimulate private investment and the successful translation of ideas to the bedside. And I'm proud to say that in the first five years of this 10-year initiative, we've invested about $350 million of public money, generated well over a billion dollars of private investment and created thousands of jobs.
The life sciences and biotech sector is one of the reasons why we have come out of the recession faster than most other states. We were declared in March having regained all of the jobs lost and then some since the great global economic collapse, and we are growing twice as fast as the national growth rate.
So I want to thank all of you for being part of an industry which is vibrant here and welcome you to what was – for a long time – a centerpiece of the life sciences and biotech sector, but I think now is the international destination for that super cluster.
But all apart from the economics, I want to thank you for the hope you've given to people in need of a cure, in need of relief, in need of help. Hope is a tangible thing, a powerful thing. And sometimes, when you are laboring away in your laboratories and over your data and in the kinds of dents, and to regular civilians like me, impenetrable comments and lectures like the one that preceded me to this podium, maybe you think it's all an extraction.
But I want you to know that there are people suffering all over the world who are counting on you to succeed. And if we, in this government, and in partnership with you, and other governments around the country and around the world, and with universities and researchers and entrepreneurs and investors and above all, bright, energetic, imaginative people, can bring those who suffer a reason to hope, it will all be worthwhile. In that spirit, I warmly welcome you all to Massachusetts. Thank you for being here.

Hello sparkies!
I am on a much-needed and earned vacation this week. Ron and I flew into Belize City today and then hopped a small Cessna prop out to Ambergris Cay. Walked on the beach and had a wonderful dinner at a local place (Caroline's Kitchen) - yummy snapper and steamed veggies with some cerviche appetizer. Having recently crossed into Onederland (by about 0.2 lbs) I am dedicated to enjoying my vacation while making healthy choices! I will try to check in this week and will definitely post pics when we get back. Hope you are all having a great week!
February Goals
Back to Basics!
I am going to be gone for much of February so I think that it will be especially important to stick to what I know will work. Below are reminders to myself:
1. Log into spark every day (when out of the country on vacation, journal about Spark if unable to log in)
2. Log calories... especially on vacation - stop pretending not knowing exactly what it is or how to log it is an excuse for not logging.
3. Exercise every day - start changing it up a bit...same thing every day doesn't get it done
4. Get some sleep - you know that stress and lack of sleep = lack of progress
5. Set realistic expectations...just because you don't lose 2 lbs a week doesn't mean you aren't making progress. Honestly- forward is forward. Find some grace for yourself
6. Look in the mirror and find something you like. Seriously - the image in your head is not accurate. For those of you who don't know - I really struggle with the girl in the mirror - I am actually pretty good friends with the girl in pictures. But then my little inner fat girl starts thinking things like "I don't really look like that. People will think I photoshopped that...etc). I digress, but honestly I have to learn to like what I see in the mirror - even as not perfect as I am.
7. Reward yourself...often
8. Live in the now. You can't get to the past, and the future will take care of itself.
So there it is. My "simple" plans for the month.
Hope everyone had a great first day of February!
Hollynn aka SpunkyDucky
My new swimsuit arrived in the mail yesterday. It is a cobalt blue one piece with a zipper in the front and a small belt at the bottom (Bond girl style). I am actually excited to wear it! Knowing that I have vacation in 12 days and want to look great in this swimsuit is all I need to keep my on track for the next 2 weeks. I wish I had bought this suit a month ago!
Overall this month has been much more challenging than the last. Despite daily exercise my weight has only dropped a few lbs this month, but I am keeping my head up. I know that I am headed in the right direction. I think it is time to swap up my exercise routine a bit so I started doing some DVDs this week in addition to my usual skiing and gym cardio.
Hope all is well. Off to work!
I promised myself I was going to take measurements and get some 360 view pics for later comparisons this month. I have been avoiding measurements because I didn't want to see numbers that were bigger than where they used to be...but part of moving forward really is leaving the past in the past and living in today. So here is where I am today - I look forward to checking in at the end of next month to see how much progress I have made!
Weight: 205
% Fat: 34.8
Neck: 13.25 in
Arms at thickest: 15.5 in
Upper Chest: 37.5 in
Mid Chest: 41.5 in
Lower Chest: 33 in
Waist: 32 in
Hips: 47.5 in
Thigh: 27.75 in
Calf: 17 in
Waist to hip ratio: .7
So that's where I am. Not bad and I am happy with the progress I am making.
Being happy in the now is part of moving forward :-)
Feeling good in a red dress 100 days after recommitting myself to a healthy lifestyle!
Ever wonder what you could do in 100 days? In 2009 I wondered what I could do with 100 days of consecutive exercise - I lost 40 lbs and decided to keep going ..My first 100 day Challenge is below:
My 2nd 100 days led to another 32 lbs off
After 365 days of exercise:
Somewhere along the way in 2010, I lost my priorities and settled into some of my old habits. 2 years later I was still pretty in shape but having a hard time with consistency (and considerably heavier) so I decided to resurrect the 100 day challenge. That was Oct 9, 2012 - I was 234 lbs and tired of going in the wrong direction. The first few days were difficult. I didn't want to keep going but I reached out to sparkies for support - and as always you all were here - lifting me up.
100 days later was January 16, 2013 - the pic of me in the red dress shows a big change
234 lbs to 204lbs in 100 days.
So where will I be 100 days forward (April 26th by the way) - I am hoping to be another 25lbs lighter which would put me at 179....
Can I do it? YUP!!!
Anyone who wants to join me feel free - the more the merrier! Link to the 100 day challenge team is below:

44 percent of Hispanics lack health insurance
YONKERS, N.Y., March 26 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Struggling to meet health care costs, 29 percent of Hispanic adults said they had decided against filling a script for cost reasons, according to a national poll conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center. Survey respondents said that they also economized by asking their doctor for free samples, skipping doses, taking smaller doses, or sharing a prescription with someone else on the same medicine.
Consumer Reports' poll demonstrates that the majority of Hispanic consumers in the U.S. are struggling with healthcare costs. When asked about how easy or difficult it is to afford healthcare, 66 percent responded "difficult" or "very difficult," including 88 percent of those without health insurance. Three-quarters of consumers earning under $50,000 and those born outside the U.S. or Puerto Rico reported difficulty dealing with cost, along with nearly 7 in 10 of those under the age of 55.
CR's poll shows a large portion of Hispanics do not have health insurance (44 percent). Those most likely to be without health coverage were ages 18-34 (55 percent), in households earning less than $25,000 per year (54 percent), or foreign born (56 percent). Hispanics without health insurance are more than twice as likely as those with health insurance to forego a prescribed medication because of cost. They are nearly twice as likely to skip a dose to make a prescribed medication last longer. Moreover, one-quarter of uninsured Hispanics reported taking a smaller dose to make a prescription last longer versus 16 percent of Hispanics with health insurance. The uninsured also are more than 4 times as likely to share a prescription with someone else. This "sharing" trend is also popular with the younger Hispanics ages 18-34 years -- 22 percent said they had shared.

Now that we understand the mechanics of a walk, let's go ahead and animate a simple walk cycle. Now I'm going to animate this walk in sections. I'm going to concentrate on the lower part of the character, more specifically the hips and the feet. Now once I get this firm foundation, I'll go ahead and move up to the upper part of the character. Now to make this as clear as possible, let's go ahead and turn off that upper part of the character. I'm going to go ahead and turn off the head as well as the upper geometry and the controls for the upper part of the character.
And now all I have left is this lower part of the character. Now before we actually animate the walk we need to make a decision as to how fast the character will walk. For this exercise, I've decided we're going to animate at 16 frames per step. Now that means a total of 32 frames for two steps or one cycle. So as you can see, we're starting at frame one, which means we need to go 32 frames past 1 to 33, so we're going to animate from 1 to 33 for a total of 32 frames.
Now once we have that set up, we can go ahead and start animating the walk.

Martin after qualifying 12th at Martinsville: We have a fast race car
- Apr 02, 2011
- 5 Team • 24 Team • 48 Team • 88 Team
- At the track
MARTINSVILLE, Va.— Mark Martin, driver of the No. 5 Quaker State/GoDaddy.com Chevrolet, earned the top qualifying spot among his Hendrick Motorsports teammates during Saturday's NASCAR Sprint Cup qualifying session at Martinsville Speedway.
Martin scored the 12th-place starting spot. Jimmie Johnson, driver of the No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet, will line up 17th, and Jeff Gordon will roll off the grid 21st in his No. 24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet. Dale Earnhardt Jr. will start 26th in his No. 88 AMP Energy/National Guard Chevrolet.
Pre-race coverage begins at 12:30 p.m. ET on FOX, and the green flag is scheduled to drop at 1 p.m.
In 46 Cup appearances at Martinsville, Martin has two wins, 12 top-five finishes, and 24 top-10s. Martin will be making his 800th career Cup start on Sunday.
"We missed a little bit on the balance, but it was a good run," Martin said. "We have got a fast race car. The car is just beautiful. Glad to have Quaker State on board this weekend on the GoDaddy.com Chevy. Lance (McGrew, crew chief) and all the guys on the team are doing an incredible job. I really think we are just going to get better as the season goes on. Like I say, we have a lot of speed this weekend. We missed the balance just a little."
Johnson has reached Victory Lane six times in his 18 Cup starts at the Virginia short track and most recently won there in March 2009. Despite his starting position, Johnson has finished outside the top 10 just once during those 18 events, and he has 13 top-five finishes and 17 top-10s.
"I did lock up the brakes, and the brake locking was uncomfortable," Johnson said. "I think I had decent lap on my second lap. I was afraid to brake lock up in (Turn) 3 and kind of got out of rhythm in between (Turns) 3 and 4. It is a decent lap; we'll take it. I'm usually not the best at qualifying here so I'm kinda proud of that lap right now."
Gordon leads all active drivers in wins at Martinsville with seven victories there. He also has 23 top-five finishes and 29 top-10s in those 36 Cup starts.
In 22 Cup starts at Martinsville, Earnhardt has eight top-five finishes and 11 top-10s. Most recently, he guided the No. 88 Chevrolet to a seventh-place finish after lining up 28th in the October 2010 event.

If you love Minestrone, you will love this recipe!! In my opinion this is better than Olive Garden's Minestrone soup. I love that you can make it as thick or thin as you want. Try adding some red wine for a more authentic flavor. I left the wine out in order to shave calories.

So Bryan wouldn't be hired as a Hollywood cop.
"I said, 'What? This is nothing,' " Larry Hoisington recalls. " 'You have cops doing all kinds of things out there. This kid did nothing wrong.' "
Larry says Granteed told him that Bryan would be allowed to stay in the academy and graduate but that as a condition, Bryan would have to resign after he graduated.
Still, this was a colossal favor. The city paid Bryan Hoisington a half-year's starting salary: $21,000, according to sources familiar with training costs. It paid the $3,500 cost of Hoisington's education at the academy, plus several hundred dollars for his graduation uniform and hundreds more for his books. That's a roughly $25,000 investment by Hollywood taxpayers, all for an officer who would never wear the uniform. When Bryan Hoisington graduated from the academy in late June, as per Granteed's instructions, he resigned.
But Bryan needed a job, and if he couldn't work in Hollywood, then perhaps Hollywood would work for him.
Says Larry: "I was told by [Miramar Police] Chief [Mel] Standley that [Hollywood Police] Chief Scarberry called there and said, 'Will you hire the kid? He's a good kid. We just can't hire him here.' "
Granteed and a few other higher-ups made similar calls, says Larry Hoisington, who also says he met personally with Standley and Miramar Police Assistant Chief Keith Dunn. Larry says he expected his son to land a job with that department. "They were going to hire him," he says. "But something happened — I don't know what. Somebody is out to sabotage my son's life for some reason."
Miramar Police spokesman Bill Robertson refused to state specific reasons for Bryan Hoisington's not being hired except to say, "He was passed over for more competitive candidates."
Perhaps Sue Blackmore knows what happened. When Miramar police contacted her about Bryan, she says, "I told them I'd be scared to death of that kid carrying a gun."

Reality Check - Do we need 60 FPS on PS4 and Xbox One?
Cam investigates frame rates and wonders if the next generation truly needs 60 fps.
gamestop, please make a video discussing "cinematic" experiences in gaming and why 30fps in games is closer to a 24fps movie than 60fps in games (speaking strictly visually, not about response time or input lag).
There should be no discussion on this topic, 60fps is the standard now.
One correction about this video, he mentions that tearing is caused by fps going over the refresh rate which is a common misconception. Tearing can happen at *any* framerate even at framerates significantly below the refresh rate, and will always happen when vsync isn't used regardless of framerate.
Tearing is caused anytime a frame is sent to the monitor by the gpu out of sync with a monitor refresh, the result of this is several frames being displayed at once, which causes the tearing effect. The only way to stop this is to force the gpu to wait on the monitor and only send frames in sync with its refreshes (vsync).
A lot of electronic engineers, computer software engineers must be commenting seeing all the heavily understood and researched facts.
60 FPS is expected. I'm getting to the point in my gaming life where if it's not 60, it looks like garbage. Similar to the way that people got used to 720p (well, upscaled 720 to 1080p to be accurate) during this console generation and to go back to xbox one (not the new xbox one, the original xbox one)
I don't want to come off as pompous or privileged, I'm not. But my
passion is gaming, and as such I've always saved up to get the absolute
best in hardware. I game on my TV with my PC through Steam, so you know
the method. My TV is capable of 240FPS, 3D, ultra HD (it's pretty much
4k, but it's not. When I tested them side by side, the 4k didn't have
any noticeable advantage over the one I chose -- and yes, I brought my
laptop into the store because this is what I was using it for). My
question is twofold:
Since there was no visual or performance difference between my TV (Which is NOT 4k, but did just as well as a brand new Sony 4K set -- my TV is also made by Sony) and the "higher resolution" TV, does that mean my eye just couldn't detect the difference, and thus and response on the "better" TV was just entirely ignored and therefore superfluous?
Also, are there ANY
games that take advantage and actually USE all of the hardware that we
put all this money into obtaining? Will there ever be? (<<<--
main question)
This needs to be re-addressed, with the drawbacks to 60fps.
This whole video is 60fps.
30 FPS is all you need. 60 FPS starts to make me feel sick with too much motion. After a while it will catch on to you.
It's quite an interesting topic
If you monitor/TV is 60 Hz, it shows 60 frames per a second.
This means a frame is on for 1/60 s, which is ~17 ms
For 30 fps a frame is on for 1/30 s, which is ~34 ms
For 120 fps a frame is on for 1/120 s, which is ~8 ms
So the latency basically halves going from 30 fps to 60 fps to 120 fps
Which is why increasing the frame make the game much smoother
Also there is also the monitor/TVs response time to take into account
Your average monitors/TV would add another 5-10 ms, a gaming monitor would be about 1 ms.
Was the difference is much more noticeable in first person shooters, where slow reactions get you killed
Lol! Did anybody noticed any difference at 3:45?... No?... Well, that's good, because there isn't any! AC4 on the PS4 runs at 30fps all the time!!!
Honestly, there is a difference, but not DRASTIC. 30fps looks smooth to me and 60fps looks perfectly smooth. I think as long as you can maintain a constant 40fps that's good enough, actually Nvidia states that if you're framerate is always above 40 you're in the most optimal zone. If you're framerate is always at 40, then it probably is at 60 most of the time and maybe dips to 40. Geforce Experience is actually pretty good at giving you settings that are a great balance between quality and performance.
my mongaloid brain only can perceive 8 fps,... no one can perceive anything greater.... errrrrr........ but seriously, the refresh comparison is just semantics. higher frame rate is just smoother,... period, end of story. 120fps max. probably anything more is overkill.
definitely, anyone who ever tinkered with a pc should agree.
@t_degan This whole "cinematic experience" comes from our familiarity with movies being 24fps. We got so used to 24fps in movies that 60fps video just seems awkward. Obviously 30fps is closer to 24fps which explains why you get "cinematic experience" (if such thing even exists). With movies like Hobbit increasing this boundary for fps, I'm sure that people will have cinematic experience at 60fps in the future.
@kagerancid Not on consoles it isn't, lmao!
@bwat47 There's another way to prevent tearing, without slowing down the game. Force the monitor to wait for the gpu to send the frame. This is what nVidia does with their Gsync.
Not every genre favors that high frame rate. Racing sure. Simulators sure. MMO's perhaps. But characters on screen, like in AC or other 3rd POV titles, appear to look so fake, like really bad movie CGI because there are no small nuances -- muscle and facial reactions -- that a developer can capture with just coding.
Not to mention how jerky they feel, almost as if the characters have been sped up. I'd say 30 frame rate is perfect. Maybe 45 would be better, but 60 is too high. It's like movies captured at 48 frame rate; it might better render vast landscapes, but between close camera character interaction, it feels unnaturally quick, almost sped up.
@saren_dredd Dude, there is no current cable standard capable of passing 4k content faster than 60fps. DisplayPort 1.2, or HDMI 2.0, it doesn't matter.
@perphektxero drawbacks? I'm glad you think you're funny.
@x2rufff4u So you get sick from a more responsive and smooth gameplay experience? Also, do you get sick when you're not gaming because real life is more than 60FPS? I think you didn't even watch the video.
@cristi1990an You have to be blind not to notice a difference
That's probably your bad PC not able to run the 60FPS video
@cristi1990an That's your browser struggling to run 60FPS on your bad PC. There's a huge huge huge difference.
@cristi1990an it clearly shows the difference... if you cant see it you're blind or your computer is a crap that cant play smooth videos. but you can test how many frames it has :P download the video and go into a video editing program and go frame by frame. if it moves than there you have your 60 fps
@cristi1990an Although I'm not saying that's the case here, you can hook a PS3 or 4 controller up to your PC.
Also, as someone who started gaming on PC, switched to consoles in '07, then about six months ago built a fairly high-end gaming rig (http://pcpartpicker.com/b/EII) and ditched my 360, I can tell you that there's a very noticeable difference between 30 and 60 fps.
@Bryjoered07 It's better to aim above 60 FPS. Reason being, typically you want to employ VSync to get rid of screen tearing (which I find incredibly distracting). If you're running at 40 FPS, then maybe you'll be mostly 60 FPS but when it dips even slightly below it will basically hard crash down to 30 FPS and look incredibly stuttery.
But, if you aim *above* 60 FPS, VSync will basically just cap you to 60 FPS.
This could all change with NVidia's GSync technology, as that adapts the monitor's refresh rate to the GFX card, so the game can leave VSync off without suffering from annoying screen tear.
@wowwow27 We can keep going higher. 240fps is possible and would be ideal for a game that's moving extremely fast.
@walloftruth @kagerancid 60fps is still the standard, just because consoles aren't reaching it consistently doesn't make it not the standard for them.
@adon_cabre @jlwilliams1981 forza horizon 2 has been on purposely capped to 30fps
@quazar87 @saren_dredd lies. How does you home Internet pass content higher than 60htz then?
@quazar87 @saren_dredd like to see your proof of that. 240htz Sony tv?. 60htz max cable speed? Frequency is not limited to 60htz. Research boys... guessing and limited understanding of hardware and software have hurt you logic
@moaznasr @x2rufff4u there is barely any difference to 30 and 60
@moaznasr @x2rufff4u *cough*motionsickness*cough*
@moaznasr @cristi1990an What part of ''AC4 on the PS4 runs at 30fps'' didn't you understand?
@berserkker @cristi1990an There is no difference just like PS4 & PC graphics!
@ESPM400 @cristi1990an Even if you do that, you won't see the controller's normal buttons in the game. The game will see it like a X360 controller!
@ESPM400 @cristi1990an Yep, we perceive games to run much smoother in higher frame rates. You also needn't have a giant t.v. or sit very close in to get the benefits of higher fps. (Of course you may not get the full effect depending on monitor size and/or viewing distance.)
@x2rufff4u @wowwow27 If you honestly think that there's no difference, you should see a doctor. Something is wrong with your eyes or brain.
@x2rufff4u @wowwow27 Any facts to back that up?
@dexter-404 @moaznasr @x2rufff4u you have to be blind to not notice the huge difference.
@dexter-404 @moaznasr @x2rufff4u You have to be blind to not notice the huge difference
@dexter-404 @moaznasr @x2rufff4u You have to be blind not to notice the huge difference.
@Fireblader70 @moaznasr @x2rufff4u I don't think you know how motionsickness works. It occurs when you have a delay in your input, so you press a button but the guy won't move instantly. That was the problem in Oculus Rift DK1. So if anything, you get more motionsick the less framerate you have. That's why Oculus is trying to get the highest FPS possible, around 120 FPS.
@cristi1990an @moaznasr You said :"Lol! Did anybody noticed any difference at 3:45?"
At 3:45 is when the 60fps start's playing, and there's a difference. AC4 running at 30fps on ps4 isn't relevant, what part of that don't you understand?
@moaznasr @Fireblader70 @x2rufff4u Actually between 300 - 1000 is what we need to make it feel like reality
@moaznasr @Fireblader70 @x2rufff4u Motion sickness can happen at any frame rate. Not just due to input lag, but also as simple as seeing motion on screen that doesn't match up with what your body is telling you. And FOV.
@moaznasr @cristi1990an But that's footage from the PS4 version!
@marmiteyeast @moaznasr @Fireblader70 @x2rufff4u What about epileptics?
@Fireblader70 @moaznasr @x2rufff4u Yeah, sure that's true, so going with what you said, 60FPS eliminates most motionsickness because the motion you see on the screen is exactly what you told the game to do as a result of the smoother input.
@cristi1990an @moaznasr No it's not. What makes you say so? It's clearly running at 60FPS, on a PC using a PS4 controller.
@JAIBOT @marmiteyeast @moaznasr @Fireblader70 @x2rufff4u What about them? Framerates won't change flashing lights and colors.
@moaznasr @Fireblader70 @x2rufff4u I'm not saying it doesn't alleviate it, but my point is that it can indeed happen at that frame rate. It isn't just about input, it's about the visuals and your inner balance telling you different things.

In addition to maintaining the REEF Survey database and providing data files to scientists, government agencies, and other groups, REEF staff participate in a variety of scientific conferences and workshops each year. Earlier this month, REEF's Director of Science, Dr. Christy Pattengill-Semmens, participated in "Engaging and Learning for Conservation". Christy and 49 others were invited to the workshop to discuss ways to enhance biodiversity conservation and environmental stewardship through public participation in scientific research (PPSR). PPSR encompasses citizen science and other programs where the public is involved in one or more phases of scientific research. With support from the National Science Foundation, the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, a leader in bird citizen science programs, initiated this effort to bring together conservation scientists and practitioners, resource managers, academics, educators, and community and project leaders. The overarching goal of the workshop was to discuss best practices to build the field of public participation in scientific research, and lay the groundwork for the workshop team to refine ideas into tools and resources. The two-day workshop was held at an epicenter of biodiversity and conservation research, the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. With almost 20 years of working with REEF, Christy had valuable perspectives on how a citizen science program can meaningfully contribute to conservation and stewardship.

REEF proudly names Heather George as our 2011 Volunteer of the Year. Since becoming a member nearly a decade ago, Heather has conducted 192 REEF surveys throughout the world and is a member of the Advanced Assessment Team in the Tropical Western Atlantic and Hawaii. In 2010, Heather joined the volunteer research team for the Grouper Moon Project. Through the years, she has conducted fish identification trainings for dive shops and aquaria and has led several REEF Field Survey Trips. Heather also served on the REEF Board of Trustees from 2007 to 2010 and brought a wealth of knowledge about fundraising and membership development to the organization. In 2011, Heather assisted with the expansion of the Volunteer Fish Survey Project to the South Pacific as part of the field team to American Samoa. When Heather is not underwater looking at fishes or teaching others about the joys of fish watching, she is helping other ocean-related organizations such as the Aquarium of the Pacific and the Waterkeeper Alliance. We are so grateful to have a wonderful volunteer who contributes to REEF in so many ways. Thank you, Heather!
REEF is proud to partner with over 270 dive shops, dive clubs, individuals, and other organizations as REEF Field Stations. For more information on how to find one near you, or to become a Field Station in your area, visit the Field Station Directory.
This month we feature Scuba Obsession, Al Audet's independent instruction business located in Melbourne Florida. Al was introduced to the wonderful world of fish identification through a class through OceanWatch.org. He attended as many classes as he could, and through the help of outstanding instructors and guides, he was hooked. He decided to incorporate fish ID into his teaching repertoire, and signed up as a REEF Field Station in November 2009.
Instructors have a lot of influence on their new open water students, and Al steers them toward fish ID all along the way. During the last Open Water dive, he normally takes his waterproof Fish-In-A-Pocket guide and points the fish they see on their dive out to the students. As his students move on to their Advanced Open Water courses (of which they can choose some that match their interests), he always encourages them to select Fish ID as one of their Adventure Dives. During the class, they learn about fish ID, do REEF survey dives together, and then are encouraged to join REEF and enter their data.
Al feels that the east coast of Florida is a great place to engage divers in fish ID. "The east coast of Florida has some of the best diving in the world. You never know what you're going to see. We also have the most popular muck dive in the world - the Blue Heron Bridge. You'll find fish under the bridge that you won't see any place else in Florida."
Al employs several different teaching techniques for his students. He offers Fish ID classes regularly and also attends REEF Fishinars, which he touted as one of REEF's best programs. He has also put together a video for his Fish ID students, online and available for viewing here: http://vimeo.com/11153948
One of Al's most exciting moments during a dive was when he was teaching a Fish ID Adventure dive for an Advanced Open Water class off Jupiter, FL. The boat captain gave them a sand drop, so after a few minutes of looking for the reef, the dive guide decided to ascend. On the way up... they looked up, and realized they were ascending into a whale shark! One of Al's students described it best, "I looked up, and I thought I saw the boat. Then I saw the fins." Thanks Al and Scuba Obsession for serving as a REEF Field Station!
Every month, scientists, government agencies, and other groups request raw data from REEF's Fish Survey Project database. Here is a sampling of who has asked for REEF data recently and what they are using it for:
- A researcher from University of British Columbia is using REEF data to evaluate the efficacy of marine reserves in Canadian waters.
- A researcher from Florida State University has requested REEF data to study Goliath Grouper populations in Florida.
- A student at Coastal Carolina University is using data to study fish populations at Discovery Bay in Jamaica.
- Scientists from NOAA Fisheries and Scripps Institution of Oceanography are using data from multiple monitoring programs, including REEF, to evaluate new methods of evaluating population trends in fisheries.

REEF Grouper Moon scientists co-authored a recent groundbreaking paper in the journal PLoS One that highlights the importance of regional conservation efforts aimed at spawning aggregations in the Caribbean. This study evaluated genetic connectedness between Nassau Grouper populations throughout the Caribbean using DNA markers. The authors obtained genetic tissue samples from 620 Nassau Grouper from 19 sites across 9 countries, including the Cayman Islands. They found evidence for strong genetic differentiation among Nassau Grouper subpopulations throughout the Caribbean. These results suggest that, despite a lack of physical barriers, Nassau Grouper form multiple distinct sub-populations in the Caribbean Sea. Oceanography (regional currents, eddies) likely plays an important role in retaining larvae close to spawning sites at both local and regional spatial scales. These findings highlight the importance of conservation initiatives such at REEF's Grouper Moon program in the Cayman Islands. A PDF of the paper is available online here. You can see a complete list of all scientific papers that have included data from REEF programs at www.REEF.org/db/publications.

If you've read recent REEF releases, you've heard the news that Indo-pacific lionfish are now well established along the eastern US coast and throughout the Bahamas. REEF has been and continues to work with researchers to learn as much as we can in order to most effectively address the invasion. Since January of this year, REEF has organized and led 5 week-long projects in the Bahamas to document the extent of the invasion and gather samples and information needed by NOAA and Bahamian researchers.
Here is what we've found:
Here is what we are working on with NOAA and Bahamian researchers:
As part of this effort, REEF has planned more research efforts through the end of 2007. Each project will include participation of scientists, researchers, and/or REEF staff. For a list of upcoming projects visit http://www.reef.org/exotic/lionfish/ or e-mail email@example.com

Once again, CEDAM International is offering two scholarships for educators to participate on a REEF Field Survey. For the 2008 survey season, the scholarships will apply to the Gran Bahia Principe Field Survey in Akumal, Mexico. Dates for this trip are May 17-24, 2008. You can visit REEF's Field Survey page to view trip details and also check out the trip flyer. To apply for this scholarship, please visit the CEDAM website at then click on the Lloyd Bridges Scholarship tab at the top of the page to see details.
The two scholarships enable qualified educators to participate - at no cost - in a CEDAM-sponsored or -sanctioned expedition. This REEF Field Survey will be led by Joe Cavanaugh, REEF Field Operations Director. Participants will have the opportunity to collect data, participate in daily talks, and interact with REEF members, staff, and local organizations. This will be a hands-on experience during which participants have the opportunity for fish identification and marine conservation training in and out of the water. REEF has partnered with ReefAid and Reefcheck and Ecologica Bahia in 2007 to assist Gran Bahia Principe Resort with developing a monitoring and assessment protection plan for their nearshore reefs. Our cooperative efforts in conservation at Bahia Principe are making a difference in protecting their reefs and some of our class time will focus on these successes.
To be eligible, applicants must be a certified scuba diver, a teacher (elementary or secondary level), or actively engaged in an education program at an institution or environmental organization, such as an aquarium, science center, or relevant non-profit organization.The scholarship will be awarded on the basis of both merit and financial need. CEDAM International will cover the recipient's airfare and REEF Field Survey expenses (excluding incidentals and personal expenses), on this educational adventure. Bahia Principe is an all-inclusive resort so acoomodation, diving, and meals are included. The application deadline will be earlier than last year's deadline since the Field Survey pariticipation dates are in late May this year. Please have your completed applications submitted by April 1, 2008.
Many of our members may be too young to have seen the television program, Sea Hunt, starring Lloyd Bridges that ran from 1958-1961. One important aspect of the series was that Bridges made a plea at the end of each episode to protect the oceans, an early ocean conservation pioneer. He was also involved in several organizations including the American Oceans Campaign and Heal the Bay, a Los Angeles-based conservation group. He inspired a generation of SCUBA divers and you may want to check out Wikipedia to read more about many of the people Bridges worked with on Sea Hunt. Incidentally, I discovered that Bridges learned to SCUBA dive once contracted for the show and that he was offered the role of Captain Kirk before William Shatner!
There are still spaces (4) available for the Akumal Field Survey, email firstname.lastname@example.com to inquire.
All applicants must complete an application form and return it along with the required essay and two letters of recommendation, to CEDAM (by mail or electronically) by April 1, 2008. Good Luck!

Guitar, DJ, and Band Hero DLC purchases to end on March 31
by Andrew Yoon, shacknews.com, Mar 18, 2014 5:30PM PDT
While Activision stopped development of Hero games quite some time ago, gamers were still able to buy DLC for their games. However, new DLC purchases won't be available come March 31st. The discontinuation is likely due to Activision no longer wanting to renew licenses associated with the DLC. For example, Rock Band developer Harmonix updates its fan base every quarter on the status of any potentially expired licenses.
While new purchases won't be supported after March 31st, any previously purchased DLC will be unaffected by the change.
"We want to thank all of you for supporting Guitar Hero over the last nine years. To celebrate this great community, selected songs and tracks will be available for as much as a 50% discount on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii from now until the end of the month," a Facebook post (via Gamespot points out.

The first spending decline on a Black Friday weekend since 2009 reinforced projections for a lackluster holiday, increasing chances retailers will extend the deep discounts already hurting their profit margins.
Purchases at stores and websites fell 2.9 percent to $57.4 billion during the four days beginning with the Nov. 28 Thanksgiving holiday, according to a survey commissioned by the National Retail Federation. While 141 million people shopped, about 2 million more than last year, the average consumers spending dropped 3.9 percent to $407.02, the survey showed.
The survey results, if borne out at cash registers in American malls and on website checkout screens, herald retailers likely return to Black Friday-type discounts this week and suggest added stress for several chains. Wal-Mart Stores and Target already cut profit forecasts after tepid sales gains in back-to-school shopping.
Retailers didnt get what they wanted from Black Friday, and they will need to make it up in the next three weeks, Poonam Goyal, an analyst for Bloomberg Industries, said in an interview. There will be some panic sales.
Stores have started holiday promotions earlier since the last recession ended in mid-2009 even pushing into October to try to capture consumers first purchases and encourage them to part with more dollars beyond the days big deal. Sales in November and December account for 20 to 40 percent of U.S. retailers annual revenue and 20 percent of profit, according to the Washington-based NRF.
The retailers also have tried to take Black Friday so named because of the myth that retailers didnt become profitable until the day after Thanksgiving each year and extend its marketing power to the surrounding days. This year, major chains such as J.C. Penney and Macys opened on Thanksgiving Day for the first time.
While all this hasnt persuaded shoppers to spend a lot more, it has given them the perception that deals are always available, Goyal said. That perception has made the doorbuster bargains associated with Black Friday less effective at getting people to buy beyond one heavily discounted item.
This kind of so-called mission shopping, where a consumer buys one bargain-priced item and then leaves, will hurt profit margins, Goyal said. It may also explain why the number of shoppers increased but their spending fell, she said.
Thats really bad for retailers, Goyal said. Historically, Black Friday deals used to be the best of the year. Now that there are only a few items like that, consumers are buying those and walking out the door.
The early promotions also dampened sales during the Black Friday weekend by pulling purchases to earlier in the month, NRF President Matt Shay said on a conference call with analysts. The trade group reiterated its forecast for total sales in November and December to increase 3.9 percent.
In one of the other early reads on results, sales at brick-and-mortar stores on Thanksgiving and Black Friday posted an estimated 2.3 percent gain to $12.3 billion, according to a report from ShopperTrak, the Chicago-based research company. The results were in line with ShopperTraks prediction for holiday purchases to gain 2.4 percent, the weakest since 2009.
Amazon.com Inc. was the most-visited online retailer on Black Friday from home and work desktop computers, followed by eBay Inc. and Wal-Marts site, ComScore said.
Confidence among U.S. consumers, whose spending makes up about 70 percent of the nations economy, declined in November to a seven-month low, the Conference Board said last week.
This year, 65 percent of Americans said they were living paycheck to paycheck, up from 61 percent last year, in part because their purchasing power has been eroded by higher costs, according to research from Booz & Co.
December will be a hugely promotional month to get those remaining shopping dollars out there, said Pam Goodfellow, a director at Prosper Insights & Analytics, the research firm that did the survey for the NRF. Retailers will be very aggressive.

Great for those first few days of the season where you are trying to get back in the groove and may be pushing that little bit too hard. When its icy I pull these gloves out of the bag. Not the best glove for cold conditions though as the inners wear quickly and lose their warmth.

Modern Healthcare Magazine Ranks Arkansas Hospitals in Top 10 for High Mortality Rates
Posted 12/23/2013 12:00 am
Unfortunate Rankings
If you're not a subscriber to Modern Healthcare, you missed the journal's Dec. 9 ranking of hospitals with the highest and lowest mortality rates across the county.
It wasn't good news for Arkansas. Three of our state's hospitals landed in the top 10 for the highest mortality rates for heart attacks, heart failures and pneumonias based on numbers from July 2009 to June 2012.
Conway Regional Medical Center came in at No. 4, followed by both of the Arkansas hospitals owned by Capella Healthcare of Franklin, Tenn.: St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Russellville, No. 5, and National Park Medical Center in Hot Springs, No. 8.
While the average U.S. hospital mortality rate was 12.89 per 1,000 patients per year, Conway's came in at 17.23, St. Mary's 17.13 and National Park at 16.4.
The data included numbers from the patients who died in the hospital or within 30 days after they were discharged.
The hospital with the lowest mortality was NYU Langone Medical Center in New York at 8.2. No hospitals in Arkansas placed in the top 10 for the lowest mortality rates.
Conway Regional has improved its mortality rate since 2009, when it was the highest, said Jim Lambert, president and CEO of Conway Regional Health System.
"We've brought in outside experts, implemented a number of things, and I think we're seeing improvement," Lambert said.
The improvement, though, isn't noted in the chart because the data used is cumulative, he said.
"It's like your GPA in college," Lambert said. "If you start out bad, it's hard to climb out of the hole. That's kind of where we've been.
"We don't think this is a true reflection of the care that's being rendered today," he said.
Neither St. Mary's nor National Park Hospital had a spokesperson available for comment last week.

These are a quick & easy snack, or desert after a tex-mex dinner. To make it even easier, use spray margarine. Will make these often, thanks!
Super easy and very tasty. I ended up using extra sugar after the first batch to give them a sweeter flavor. Had lots of compliments from the shower guests where I served these. Served with Raspberry Jam for dipping. EXCELLENT snack for kids to help with. My 12 year old did the majority of these!
You can also make these by cutting tortillas into triangles or squares and then spraying them with cooking spray before sprinkling with the sugar and they are delicious!

Plane makes emergency landing at Ga. Army airfield
By The Associated Press
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- A Delta plane made an emergency landing at an army airfield in Georgia after getting low on fuel while avoiding dangerous weather.
The flight landed at the Hunter Army Airfield just before 4 p.m. Friday. The plane to Savannah departed LaGuardia Airport in New York.
Army spokesman Steve Hart says the flight's 155 passengers left the plane at the airfield and waited out the storms in the terminal. Officials planned to fly or bus passengers to Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport.
Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport spokeswoman Lori Lynah says a plane making an emergency landing at the Army airfield is unprecedented.
A Delta representative was not immediately available on Friday evening.
