Forestry seeks more timber and more habitat
Jun 5, 2013
By JEFF BARNARD
Of the Associated Press
GRANTS PASS — The Oregon Board of Forestry has taken on a tough job: figuring out how to produce more logs as well as better fish and wildlife habitat through logging on state forests.
The board voted unanimously Wednesday in Salem to embark on a new management plan for three state forests in the northwest corner of the state — the Tillamook, Clatsop and Santiam.
There has been widespread dissatisfaction with the current plan — including from the governor — for failing to meet the statutory goals of producing economic, environmental and social benefits through active management.
Board Chairman Tom Imeson said in a statement that the current plan, from 2001, was based on the best information of the time, and he believes they can do better.
But conservation groups are skeptical that the forests can produce more logs while improving fish and wildlife habitat.
After national forests in Oregon, Washington and Northern California cut logging by 90 percent to protect habitat for the northern spotted owl and salmon in 1994, Oregon adopted a new vision for state forests, where logging would be designed to crate forests with old growth characteristics. However, the new policy did not satisfy the timber industry, which depends on state forests for logs, local counties, which share in state forest timber revenues, or conservation groups, which felt the forests were being thinned too heavily, and too many roads were being built.
The board increased logging and cut goals for older forests in 2009, but the dissatisfaction continued. In 2001, Gov. John Kitzhaber spoke to the board, urging it to find a new approach that makes state forests a model for resolving the conflicts between logging and fish and wildlife habitat that have beset the region for 30 years.
In that spirit, the board also created a new system to make it easier for the public to see just which state forest lands are dedicated to fish and wildlife habitat and conservation, rather than logging.
"Commitments to conservation — and to economic and social values - will all be important outputs of the future state forest management plan we must achieve," State Forester Doug Decker said in a statement.
Jim Geisinger of Associated Oregon Loggers said the forests in Oregon's northwest corner are highly productive, and should be managed more intensively for timber than national forests.
"There is absolutely no reason they shouldn't be turning a substantial profit for the state and in turn for the counties," he said. "They need to be selling more timber — recognizing their growth potential— and be more efficient about selling those timber sales."
Bob Van Dyk of the Wild Salmon Center said the financial structure, where the Department of Forestry is directly funded by the sale of timber, gives the state an incentive to cut trees rather than protect fish and wildlife habitat.
"It remains to be seen whether such a solution is out there," where state forests can produce more logs and more habitat, he said. "We think the governor is going to need to come to the table with assistance to diversity revenue sources to diminish the incentive to just cut more to pay the bills."

Gannett Co.'s USA Today may charge for mobile applications on smartphones and tablet computers, said Lawrence Kramer, the newspaper's president and publisher.
Gannett has transferred about half of its 82 newspapers to a pay model, leading to a 13 percent gain in digital revenue last quarter. While USA Today's website isn't behind a paywall, the newspaper is contemplating plans to charge for access on mobile devices, Kramer said in an interview on Bloomberg Television's "Street Smart" with Trish Regan and Adam Johnson.
"There is not going to be just one business model anymore," Kramer said. "If people want it on their cell phone, they may have to pay for it on their cell phone, because there's a cost to delivering it that way. If they want it on their iPad, we may charge them for an iPad app. Yes, I definitely think in many ways they will be paying for it, and that's OK."
USA Today's mobile traffic was "up strongly in June" with page views more than doubling from a year ago, Gracia Martore, Gannett's chief executive officer, said during last month's earnings conference call. Digital revenue at USA Today rose 37 percent last quarter from a year earlier.
Gannett's newspapers reach 11.6 million weekday readers. USA Today has more than 14.5 million downloads of its apps for smartphones and tablets.

Multikulterell? Warum?
Germany doesn't need more immigrants; Germany needs to increase its birth rate.
It would be wise to encourage and direct most immigrants back home to fix their own problems and run their own lives within their own cultures (what better form of liberation and self-determinism is there?). If their countries, regions or societies are oppressive or less advanced, then they should make them less oppressive and more advanced. That is their responsibility, burden--and opportunity.
Germany shares this right of singularity with several other advanced societies or economies, that host migrant LDC guests. As for multiculturalism, all one need do to experience another culture is travel to it, trade with it or organize among (but not necessarily within) it. Multicultural does not mean mutli co-habitation or multieconomic, multisocial or multiobligatory. Friendship can be more highly evolved than a forced marriage.
Moreoever, race and culture are powerful and positive sources of pride and high function; they are also environmental: salt-water sharks do not congregate with river salmon; hawks and falcons do not flock or soar with migratory geese; ant colonies do not co-habitate with honey bees. They thrive and adapt as a unified biologic species with its own coding. That does not mean they are strictly self-sufficient or absent from a chain of production and consumption. Indeed, their separation leads to system unity and equilibrium, as atomic and sub-atomic structure lead to cohesion.
German, as well as French, Italian, British and to some extent Nordic population density and demographics, are somewhat troubling and Germany would be wise to invest in its particular culture and society. The EU (and Germany especially) is not the mixed-culture US, and Germany is not responsible for holding up or subsidizing dysfunctional states, religions, cultures, societies, companies (or central banks).
This is not racism or nationalism; it is merely competitive and self-determined behavior.

* "Mrs Cengiz says 'many families are seriously thinking about going back to Turkey.' "
Always promising... (I hope they don't expect to continue receiving their social benefits in Turkey.)
* "... Yasemin Karakasoglu of the University of Bremen. At the city's request she is designing a new curriculum for training teachers, which may use a child's mother tongue when necessary and also look for new ways to educate Muslim pupils about Germany's crimes against Jews."
So if we have 20 different nationalities in a class, the teachers should be able "to use the child's mother tongue" when necessary... Wouldn't it be easier if (after 3 generations) the Turkish children knew the language of the country they are living in, like the children from other minority groups (East-Asians, Chinese, Indians, East-Europeans, ...) do?
By the way, will those teachers also educate their Muslim pupils about Turkey's crimes against the Armenians (the Armenian genocide) ?
* "Germans' idea of what it is to be German will have to change too, she thinks."
A new wind is blowing through Europe. I don't think the Germans will have to rethink what it means to be German, but rather that the Turks in Germany will have to rethink what it means to be a "guest" in somebody else's country. If they, the Turks and Arabs, can't shape up, they should ship out, and make room for other immigrants ( (East-Asians, Chinese, Indians, East-Europeans, ...) who have no problem integrating and are an asset for their new homelands.
"To pay for your pensioners who are retiring enmasse silly."
Of course, these immigrants will eventually retire as well. Who is going to pay for their pension? more immigrants, silly. etc.etc.etc. This is called a Ponzi scheme.
It is pretty easy to determine what age distribution a stable population has (e.g., Leslie matrix). If we assume that the population will have to stabilize at some point, we have to adjust our pensions to that particular age distribution. As it is, they are largely based on the baby boomer period. It seems irrational to me to claim that we can maintain this kind of expansion.
It is hubris to believe your culture is superior to all others in all areas.
It is extremely impolite to ignore, much less denigrate the host society in a country to which you have voluntarily relocated.
It is completely unacceptable to abuse the freedoms of your host society, much less employ violence in an attempt to destroy it.
This isn't racism. The above apply to anyone. Indeed, these precepts are rigidly, sometimes brutally enforced in many Muslim countries.
"…with the country's need for more immigrants"
Why does Germany need more immigrants? in order to keep growing?
Paul Samuelson:
"a growing nation is the greatest Ponzi scheme ever contrived. And that is a fact, not a paradox."
John Stuart Mill:
"If the earth must lose that great portion of its pleasantness for the mere purpose of enabling it to support a larger, but not better or happier population, I sincerely hope, for the purpose of posteriority, that they will be content to be stationary, long before necessity compels them to it."
''They just need to get their own birthrates up, so it's much wiser to spend their welfare state money on paying indigenous Germans to have kids,''
Mary.J isn't this what the buyers of Thilo's book are trying to get him to do? Germany needs more Thilos, nicht wahr?
Back to Lebensborns if the job is beyond Thilo's hormonal powers now?
Then the Econmomist could publish lots of pcitures of Thilo and his like as the wonderful means of raising the German intelligence quotient, come what may and for whatever obscure Lebensraum purpose?
Germany shafts itself up.
And its leaders pretend to be both ''Christian'' and ''democratic'', as well as ''social'' and in ''union'' with others.
Oh dear.
In the US, as an immigrant, you have to wait 10 years before you can get social benefits. This attracts another type of immigrant: the type that through hard work wants to build a new life, instead of profiting from social benefits paid by others.
If we want to support our sick and elderly, the last thing we should do is to allow in the needy of other cultures and other continents. Instead we should only allow in people with skills and degrees needed in Europe, and who are willing to integrate and live in a secular, democratic society.
About the comment that many Muslims contribute to the society little except working at a grocery store.
Every Muslim in a grocery store has full right to look down at many native Germans, inflexible, closed-minded and accustomed "that government should do something with it" who claim welfare and not even work at a grocery store.
Talking about spirit of hard work, eh?
No skilled immigrant will come to closed society flirting with Nazism and calling that immigrant should work hard keep his head low.
Taboo is that second-generation Muslims are more radical than first-generation immigrants. Yes, people raised in supposedly order-promoting Germany in contrast to the supposedly backwards Middle East. Yes, people who were to Muslim countries maybe twice on their holidays. They simply feel treated as underclass by Germans.
Breaking down closed Muslim communities is important. Breaking down closed German communities is equally important.
MissR wrote Nov 12th 2010 3:04 GMT:
"I lived and studied in Bremen, and although I am white and speak fluent German, that fact that I am not German made it difficult for me to integrate into the society as well."
MissR, may I just bluntly say that you are telling here an untruth. I do not have German background but master the language. Nobody – and listen: NOBODY ever even mentioned my ethnic roots and less so made me feel uncomfortable because of my not-typical-German name - whereupon I was asked quite often "where it originates from" … but out of curiosity and not out of xenophobia . . . And I worked and co-worked on all business- and social- levels.
So please don't mix up your own inaptness to socialize with a society's inaptness to integrate non-natives.
What Europe needs is a selective immigration policy, that only allows in qualified(!) people who are able to function in a modern, industrialized society.
Interesting to read of German consideration of a " Canadian style" points system for immigrants. Our major cities are becoming overrun with poorly educated and unemployable people from Jamaica and Haiti and accompanying crime. Asian gangs in Vancouver and other Asians who apparently come here simply to take advantage of our soft justice system to run marijuana grow-ops.
I don't understand the rationale behind growth requirements as a driving force for immigration. Surely this needs to be questioned. Does infinite population growth equate to infinite wealth? The idea is ridiculous. At least in Canada we have room. Europe is full! China and India aren't fabulously wealthy because they have so many people. They are ecological wastelands of overused environments. Perhaps more workers make rich people richer but they do nothing for the vast majority of the population. More GDP is split amongst more people. Your magazine's name is the Economist for God's sake. Wake up and ask some basic questions here. The reason people are becoming angry is because this is nonsense.
Even the nominal GDP growth is eaten up with higher social service costs and crime. There is only one valid reason for increased immigration. Aging populations mean that there may not be enough workers to carry the load of those too old to work. This is essentially a problems of inadequate pension systems. Again the politicians have failed to tell us the truth as they spend us into oblivion. We can get serious about this now. Stop immigration and redirect money from integrating new people to preparing for the future. Instead of giving our children a stinking mess of a country we can leave them a little more room and nature. The world can and should integrate at a slower pace.
Germany is a good example to show that Islam is not the problem. Immigrants from Afghanistan or Iran do better at school and university than native Germans. Very astonishing at first sight if you consider Afghanistan which basically consists of analphabets. But those immigrants are political refugees which tend to be better educated. Immigrants of Turkish descent have two problems: They have reached the critical mass to form ghettoes and they are unskilled. And German schools are simply not ready to deal with children of education averse backgrounds - which is a problem pertaining to the native underclass as well.
MissR: No one is advocating that immigration should be stopped. You are missing the entire point.
"Integration is not equal to assimilation"
As a sovereign nation, Germany, or any other country for that matter, can define integration however they like.
Also, no one said "only muslims" have problems integrating. They are saying it is the largest concern since their religous views largely contradict the western values of Europe.
"If they pay their taxes and are productive members of the society, whether their German is perfect or not or they wear burka is irrelevant."
Wow, you are missing the entire issue here. Large amount (not all) of muslims are NOT becoming productive members of society and a large reason for this is Islam is not a pro integration religion. Go back and read the previous posts on how not integrating effects education and job opportunities later in life.
History has shown that societies that are the most homogenous work the best. Hence the DESIRE to integrate immigrants into the local culture. In other words MULTIKULTI or cultural is not the OPTIMAL model for any society.
People who wish to live in a country with STATE religion professing to have made the RIGHT choice of religion classifying others as NON-BELIEVERS, should not migrate or to be allowed to enter a SECULAR type country. They will be UNHAPPY and by the same token make the residents UNHAPPY as well.
Let's speak plainly, I am tired of this sort of political correctness
let's see what works.
Another model is to export the actual production to countries with excess population willing to make the effort to become skilled workers and allowed to achieve this.
As a German (with migratory background) I have this to say:
The problem is *NOT* immigration per se. The problem is a lack of skills, education & flexibility of immigrants oftentimes combined with dogmatic bigotry & religious zealousness & intolerance (Islam!).
Thilo Sarrazin was *crucified* by the German P.C. mainstream for writing his book. Said book, which is based on facts and is cooly levelheaded, does *NOT* lambast immigration as such.
Mr Sarrazin analyses statistics, offers a comprehensive comparation & then asks some very interesting questions:
1. Why have Vietnamese immigrants in Germany (originally for the most part lowly educated Boat People & other refugees) managed to successfully integrate into German society? Nowadays, on average their children do better at school than even Germans themselves.
2. Why, on the other hand, do immigrants of *EVERY* islamic country do so bad when it comes to integration? The facts speak for themselves.
Why is it that on a level playing field with the same initial conditions one group of immigrants (Vietnamese) is able to integrate while the other even in the third generation fails abysmally (Turks & Arabs)?
Bottomline: Sarrazin clearly shows there is a *DISTINCT* correlation between islamic faith and the utter inability to integrate. You can see this phenomenon in every Western country. Quite frankly *THIS* is the reason why people like Mr. Wilders are doing *INCREASINGLY* well.
Those who think Germany should pick and choose which countries it will accept immigrants from should take a look at US experience with the Chinese Exclusion Act and Australian experience with the White Australia policy. I imagine none of us would like to bring those back.
Europeans, especially those from 'old' Europe lived in a 'bubble' for far too long, and this wake up call that globalization brought them seems to much to handle.
Also it is myth that only Muslims have difficulties with the integration. I lived and studied in Bremen, and although I am white and speak fluent German, that fact that I am not German made it difficult for me to integrate into the society as well. Not only that, just go to Bremerhaven there are lots of unemployed people from Russian background. Nobody seems to be talking about them.
Both sides need to compromise and adjust but saying that immigration is the worst evil and should be stopped is nonsense. Every country can have massive benefits from it, if the immigration policies are right. Just because they came into your country that does not mean they need to become instant Germans. Integration is not equal to assimilation. If they pay their taxes and are productive members of the society, whether their German is perfect or not or they wear burka is irrelevant.
I've been an emigrant since almost 5 years. I left my home country – Portugal – to enrich myself with further university studies. I studied in the Netherlands and in Belgium, and I've been working in Germany since 2.5 years. I have two MSc and one BSc, all in engineering.
My German language skills are poor, but I'm able to do simple conversations, go to the doctor, shop for various things and get along with people and services. I want to improve my German skills and I'll retake German classes in the next year.
Even if my German isn't superb – I travel quite often abroad for my company, so it's hard for me to attend German courses – I feel very well integrated and accepted in Germany. Although I work for an American company, all my colleagues are German and the other foreigners are all perfect German speakers. Even if our business is a global one and even if only my 4-spoken language skills (German not included) are required for my daily work, I feel that I owe German people my best in trying to mix with them, understand them and honour them by speaking their incredibly difficult language.
I undertake many activities together with my working colleagues and other social activities in a private basis. I like the way the German society works, and the only thing that I'd say that I still need to work on to get fully integrated is to learn decent German. That, and develop a taste for beer and wurst!
But I nevertheless sometimes feel that the word "integration" isn't for me. I really didn't have to adapt myself to German culture, everything came natural. German people are so incredibly nice and open minded that I'm really delighted in being able to have the opportunity of growing up in this modern, fair and beautiful country. On my own initiative I bought some Goethe books, Günter Grass books, I read about the country's history, I tried some national dishes, and damn, I even painted a German flag on both sides of my face this last world cup!
I think that I could be confused with Turkish people because of my skin colour, dark hair, strong beard and body hair, and I'm pretty sure most German people might confuse me with a Turk. Even though this I never had a problem with nobody neither have I ever felt discriminated. I guess that such as GermanKautilya wrote on his comment "the "debate" is convenient for some old people who like the old clichés about Germany."
My perception of Germany and its various inhabitants – let them be natives or emigrants (whatever the generation) –, is that there are really a lot of opportunities and respect as long as you comply with the society rules. But I want to repeat myself: moving to Germany was by no way a challenge or did I find any difficult obstacles apart from the language, but, no pain no gain.
I do feel that many emigrants and here I want you to read Muslims – although nothing against them – is that they do live in their own societies and simply don't integrate or aren't in any case really interested in contributing to the society welfare. Many people just take for granted that they can do whatever they want from the moment they step on German soil or from the moment they get a German visa allowance. I mean, have they been able to have a further and more complex entrepreneurial vision than just opening a kebab shop or raise tax-payers' leeches? I must say that I have emigrated family in France, who were quite poor when they left and that managed to work all their way through the French society. Today all their children whom were born in France went to university, are successful and they love both France and Portugal, so please don't racist me.
Although I'm not German, I can see the through my eyes as a German and I also don't appreciate the sort of people who aren't interested at all in loving the country that nurtures them, as well as they even show depreciation for the hand that feeds them.
I guess that many foreigners take an easy advantage of German people, because these "can't" really speak their minds without being called the N-word, and I'm sure this happens quite often. But it's true, Muslim culture isn't compatible with our Western values, and Germans are only trying to protect and preserve what's their own, and they're on their own right.

Synthesis and Mechanistic Studies of a Novel
Homoisoflavanone Inhibitor of Endothelial Cell Growth
Plos One, "Synthesis and Mechanistic Studies of a Novel Homoisoflavanone Inhibitor of Endothelial Cell Growth," Halesha D. Basavarajappa, Bit Lee, Xiang Fei, Daesung Lim, Breedge Callaghan, Julie A. Mund, Jamie Case, Gangaraju Rajashekhar, Seung-Young Seo, Timothy W. Corson, Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana. (April 2014, vol. 9, Issue 4) This study was conducted with IRRF support – Timothy W. Corson.
Preventing pathological ocular angiogenesis is key to treating retinopathy of prematurity, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. At present there is no small molecule drug on the market to target this process and hence there is a pressing need for developing novel small molecules that can replace or complement the present surgical and biologic therapies for these neovascular eye diseases. Previously, an antiangiogenic homoisoflavanone was isolated from the bulb of a medicinal orchid, Cremastra appendiculata. In this study, the team presented the synthesis of a novel homoisoflavanone isomer of this compound. The compound, SH-11052, has antiproliferative activity against human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and also against more ocular disease-relevant human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (HRECs). Tube formation and cell cycle progression of HRECs were inhibited by SH-11052, but the compound did not induce apoptosis at effective concentrations. SH-11052 also decreased TNF-α induced p38 MAPK phosphorylation in these cells. Intriguingly, SH-11052 blocked TNF-α induced lκB-α degradation, and therefore decreased NF-κB nuclear translocation. It decreased the expression of NF-κB target genes and the pro-angiogenic or pro-inflammatory markers VCAM-1, CCL2, IL8, and PTGS2. In addition SH-11052 inhibited VEGH induced activation of Akt but not VEGF receptor autophosphorylation. Based on these results it is proposed that SH-11052 inhibits inflammation induced angiogenesis by blocking both TNF-α and VEGF mediated pathways, two major pathways involved in pathological angiogenesis. Synthesis of this novel homoisoflavanone opens the door to structure-activity relationship studies of this class of compound and further evaluation of its mechanism and potential to complement existing antiangiogenic drugs.

Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is an inflammatory fibrotic disorder that can develop after rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, and is the most common failure of retinal detachment repair. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy development is characterized by the formation of subretinal, intraretinal, and/or epiretinal fibroproliferative membranes that cause the retina to detach due to the contractile properties of myofibroblasts that are abundantly present in these membranes. Retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells contribute to the formation of these fibroproliferative membranes through the secretion of cytokines and growth factors, proliferation, and dedifferentiation into extracellular matrix-producing myofibroblasts.
Current knowledge of the underlying pathobiological processes in PVR is still limited. Vitreous of patients with established proliferative vitreoretinopathy contains elevated levels of thrombin, which induces the production of proliferative vitreoretinopathy-associated cytokines, and growth factors by RPE. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of thrombin in the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR).

"The β-adrenergic system as a possible new target for pharmacologic treatment of neovascular retinal diseases,"
Giovanni Casini, Massimo Dal Monte, Irene Fornaciari, Luca Filippi, Paola Bagnoli, Department of Biology, University of Pisa, Italy. (June 2014 – Although this article is in press, final citation details as volume and/or issue number has not been added.) This study was conducted with IRRF support – Massimo Dal Monte.

Retinal neovascular pathologies, such as diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and age-related macular degeneration, may be treated with intravitreal injections of drugs targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), the main inducer of neoangiogenesis; however further improvements and alternative strategies are needed. In the last few years, an intense research activity has focused on the β-adrenergic system. The results indicate that, in different experimental models, a decrease of the β-adrenergic function may result either in reduction or in exacerbation of the vascular changes, thus suggesting possible dual effects of β-adrenoreceptor (β-AR) modulation depending on the experimental setting. In in vivo models of proliferative retinopathies, most of the data point to a strong inhibitory role against vascular changes exerted by the blockade of specific β-ARs. In particular, the β2-AR seems to be the mostly involved in these responses, and the β1-/β2-AR blocker propranolol results highly effective in inhibiting both the increase of VEGF expression caused by a hypoxic insult and the consequent neovascular response. These observations have prompted clinical trials in preterm infants with ROP, where oral administrations of propranolol produced positive results in terms of efficacy, although safety problems were also reported. In addition, the possibility of using topical propranolol administrations in the form of eye drops opens new potential routes of drug administration in humans. A further point that should be considered is that there are data demonstrating significant antiapoptotic effects exerted by β-ARs, therefore if β-AR blockers were used to inhibit aberrant neovascularization, there may be a burden to pay in terms of impaired neuronal viability.

The Restoration of Complex Vision Continues
The restoration process continues for Complex Vision, the 30 by 30 foot sculpture by renowned Israeli sculptor Yaacov Agam. After gracing the front of the Callahan Eye Hospital for the last 38 years, the art was dismantled piece by piece in April 2014, each panel packaged individually and then transported to Art Creations and Restorations in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Many steps must be completed before the actual process of applying the colors can begin. The panels are laid out in order and a blueprint is made to document the corresponding paint colors for each panel. Only until all the colors, shapes and positions are documented can paint be removed. Any imperfections in the exposed metal must be repaired and then buffed smooth. All panels are acid washed before they can be etched primed and then filler primed. Most of this has been accomplished and sample colors have been sent to Mr. Agam in Paris, who is scheduled to come to West Palm Beach to personally approve all colors before they can be transferred to the panels.
Dennis Carhart, owner of Art Creations and Restorations, has been working with Yaacov Agam since 1993. The two met when Agam rented Carhart's spacious workshop to use for a restoration project, and after observing the attention to color, measurement and detail that Carhart incorporated in his work, their relationship flourished. Carhart has assisted with many of Agam's restoration projects worldwide over the past 20 years.
In addition to Dennis Carhart, several other craftsmen have been brought to the United States to help with the project. One of these is Andy Krocin, who traveled from Peru to add his many years of experience to the project.
Dennis Carhart, owner of Art Creations & Restorations and Andy Krocin, explain to Sandra Blackwood, IRRF, the process of stripping the panels and preparing them for the etching and filler primer process.
Dennis Carhart points out how badly some of the colors
had faded, making them difficult to match.
Andy Krocin, sands a panel to remove the faded colors, and after all imperfections have been buffed smooth, applies an acid wash to remove any residue. Once this process is finished, the panel can be etched primed and filler primed.
Vision Research Funding Partnership:
Imagining the Possibilities
Washington, D. C. The International Retinal Research Foundation and nearly two dozen of our colleagues from organizations committed to the advancement of eye research convened on September 17, 2014, in Washington, D. C. to discuss vision research funding and a role for funder collaboration in preventing, treating, and curing vision disorders. The meeting was hosted by Research to Prevent Blindness and its president, Brian F. Hofland, PhD. This meeting was an important first step toward collaborations.
The convening ended with an expressed interest in exploring collaborative potential.

The problem with "cunt" is that, at least in America, it has an implicit sexist implication. There just isn't an equivalent word that has an implicit male connotation so until it becomes gender neutral its kind of a no go area.

The problem with "cunt" is that, at least in America, it has an implicit sexist implication. There just isn't an equivalent word that has an implicit male connotation so until it becomes gender neutral its kind of a no go area.
Fame and celebrity now being the true "religion" of America, I am not surprised many were offended by Mr. Gervais and his comments -- especially many of the sycophants that make their living commenting on (worshiping) celebrity.
I agree that without Mr. Gervais, for me, the show will return to the realm of "unwatchable".
I've gotta agree with the article, and it's not just an Anglo-Saxon thing.
Here in Japan, the same rules of bonding as the so called 'British Way'apply, without the naughty words, because there aren't any that can navigate from the literal to the metaphorical.
It's when the Japanese start 'ribbing' each other that they know all who are gathered are in a casual mode.
Many Americans take themselves way too seriously. However as a final note, I would like to add that some can lighten up with the best of them.
Guess which group of Americans are avoided like the plague and guess which group of Americans interact successfully outside of a US environment?
It ain't rocket science and I'm sure even an American can work out the answer to that one.
Pity the poor self consumed soul that comes to Australia un-awares.
Sir -
While the British seem to have perfected the art, they are far from alone. There are those in the US who use teasing as a form of affection. It is common in the Upper Midwest states to give each other grief with a smile. In California, the same grief is taken personally as an insult. It's been a long adjustment period for this transplant.
f--k you, you carwash c--t, I had a dental appointment!
The c-word, strangely, has even usurped the f-word for the position of most offensive word in my opinion. Women, in particular, cannot stand it. The situation is different in Britain then?
Yep,spent over 20 years working in England and enjoying the wind-ups and taking the mickey out of your friends or whoever.Good fun that I soon enjoyed very much. Return to the USA and suddenly feel like I have to be in a kiss ass mode to get along.
I should add that I actually thought he was quite funny, but then I wasn't on the receiving end...
Or how he use to be a poor schmuck and now is a rick prick. As for whether Americans appreciate the c--t word or now, I disagree with your analysis. Again its a matter of context and as with all great humour timing. In this regard I think your 'universal' approach to the comedy business is flawed. Not as flawed as Ricky's uniquely British approach. If we are looking for a truly international form of humour, then I think the area is ripe for exploration. Most humour you see starts on the live stage, and these places tend to be very localised.
It's not what you say, it's how you say it. We can take a good jibe from Mike Myers, Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg or Martin Lawrence, but extreme sarcasm that comes with a British accent? Now that just comes across condescending and mean.
But he's just not that funny, outside England of course. You see the problem is this, The British think that tearing down tall poppies is a hilarious thing to do, after all Queen and country etc. American's who love individual exceptionalism dont really understand the point of this type of humour, perhaps it is is born from malice or worse spite and envy they may well ask. If Ricky had any wit he would find something to say that americans find funny. Larry David as host? now that would be funny, he would talk about his Jewish mother in Broklyn, getting drunk because another animal had gone extinct. Im sure the British would not get that one.
In case you missed it, you can watch all of Ricky Gervais' funniest jokes from the Golden Globes here:
I recall a US American visitor to Edinburgh being concerned that I would get sacked after I introduced him to my boss with the words, "This is my boss. A lot of people don't like him just because he is the boss. I don't like him because he's c**t."
Ah yes, the "c-word" one you would use only to describe your best friend or your worst enemy. I called my best mate a c*** once, after he just dumped a load of snow on my face. I was in bed at the time.
He laughed, because it's only funny if it's really vehement.
We do GET YOU, we just dislike pushy people, pomposity, and political correctness. We like to skewer it as other Brits will find it funny.
Hats of to Mr Gervais, he may of found a way out of doing it next year. :)
I have experienced the phenomenon (an American flatmate was worried that I was feuding with another Scottish flatmate whereas we were in fact 'bonding') but of course you can't generalise about 300 million people without making an arse of yourself. My theory is that the US is much bigger and more multicultural which makes it much easier to be misunderstood or to offend. This produces the general level of politeness and clarity in mixed company. It also helps to explain why the American accent is easier for many non-native speakers - it is already designed for wide portability.
Of course I can now think of a hundred counter examples. Must stop generalising....
Acting in a Miss Manners capacity, I would advise my American friends to Britain to be wary of walking up to someone in the street and calling them a "cunt".
Context is all.
In my youth if the phrase "F-ck you if can't take a joke" was heard at a party it was a sign to leave before the mayhem broke out. There are broad swaths of America where you are never sure if some drunk is packing a lethal weapon or not.
In politer and more educated circles there is a general embrace of the Power of Positive Thinking, so any humor that chips away at that particular self-delusion is seldom well received.

Make the whole mountain your personal terrain park.
If your idea of a terrain park is 180 cornice drop to cab 540 off windlip to board slide on a fallen tree, the Flow NXT AT Bindings are for you. The AT stands for All-Terrain, and these puppies deliver all over the hill. A ventilated, one-piece nylon highback and a forged aluminum baseplate keep these all-mountain freestyle bindings lightweight, and give you a stiff flex for crucial response when you really need it. If you happen to land that 540 in a bomb hole, the custom-tunable base pads of the NXT AT bindings soften the blow while giving you the board feel to ride away clean in crud. Four locking MINIratchet Buckles on the streamlined I-Flex Powerstrap let you tweak these Flow bindings to fit your boots perfectly, but you'll save time at the top with Flow's rear-entry lever.

Good overall
Spent about a season and half in these so far. They take a while to get setup right, and by that I mean at least 4 or 5 days on the mountain to get it all perfect. The key is to keep them a bit loose than what feels right when setting them up but once you're riding it feels perfect. Fantastic for riding in the midwest due to smaller hills, I get a lot more runs in with these - I usually strap in on the lift. Out west I'd say the speed advantage really doesn't pay make a difference, somewhere like jackson hole you get long enough runs it doesn't matter.
Overall, positives: quick to get in, once they're set up don't have to play with much, no pressure points means very comfortable, can rest foot in non-strapped binding while on long lift rides to even weight on feet.
negatives: a bit of a pain to set up, tough to get in if sitting on a downslope full of powder like when hike-riding or backcountry, have to unstrap two straps to pack for traveling (thus making you set up the bindings again)
I think my next set will be back to the normal style since I live out west now but these have treated me really well.

Great Binding
Takes a little tweaking to get things set just right but very comfortable & quick after that. I can snap in while riding up the chairlift & ride directly away/down without messing with the bindings at all. No more sit-downs.
I've marked the ratchet teeth at my preferred settings with a "Sharpie" so if I do move something I can readily reset.
Feet feel very secure: no lateral twisting slop; firm front-back support give great edge control. Have helped me learn to carve great turns. Highly recommended.

Great binding
I love these bindings, they are conveinent to get into and they fit well. I like the adjustabillity of having four straps compared to just two. Like everyone else it seems, on my fourth trip out with these the screw where the highback hinges fell off shortly after I straped in for a run, I went down the mountian a few fet before i noticed it, I walked back up and luckily found the peices. just tightening them before I go out should be enough to prevent this, plus it is just good maintenence. I find that facing up the hill is the quickest way to strap in. The real only annoying thing about the "step in" system is that even if are done in a literal 10 seconds you are still stuck waiting for your friends.
First time w/ Flows
Was really excited when I got these, figured would go to the local mountains and get them dialed in before my trip to Jackson Hole.
Half way through the day, i finally got the straps where I wanted, deffly takes a little bit to get em perfect. After I was comfortable I went to step in and I had lost two of the screws that hold the top part of strap.
Luckily, I had brought my other board just in case, and my good ol Ride Bindings helped.
The difference in quality of the Flow to Rides are different. The Flows just seem cheaply made compared to my Rides.
Mixed Bag/Great Service
Used these bindings for one full day before the bolt at the bottom of the hinge broke at the summit, and I had to limp it down with no heelside edge. Liked the comfort and thought the control was acceptable. Traded up (way up) to Burton C60s, which I much prefer in terms of responsiveness, with similar comfort.
Backcountry's customer service on this was, however, nothing short of super. Near immediate refund, with discounted UPS return. These folks do it right. A first rate retail experience, irrespective of problem with bindng.
Almost Perfect
These bindings are the real deal. Super comfortable and stellar performance make for a hella day on the mountain. I have size 14 clown feet so the adjustable edges make for that much needed extra space to eliminate toe/heel drag when you cut hard into a deep carve. I seriously get compliments on them every time I ride. Only one probelm...I gave them a rating of 4 because on the second day out one of the screws came loose and fell out on my back foot heel where the highbacks pivot so I had to heel side it down on my stomp pad. Nothing a little Loctite can't fix, but still irritating.
Also, I bought the purple color because they look more like a dark blue on the back in the pics but I assure you they are as purple as your nurple. Still a sick ass ride though. There's no going back once you rock a step in.
dont read other reviews
dont listen to the other reviews that say dont but them ther not faster hard to get into, cant do them up on a hill, break easy and have to be done up tight all thoes are all the oposite IF you ajust them right and its not hard to ajust them right eather. and to do them up on a hill its oviest you look up the hill and dig you edge in and flip up and go. theas are great park bindings great suport and flexy (depending on how ajusted) can be stiff if ajusted right. great for jumps rails stalls. supper fast to do up and light. and the resion all other bindings are 2 strap is they still have it patend
bottom line: great strong bindings and if you are a begine get the Flites still pretty good for park and strong
Time saved = worth the $$$
Just picked a set of these up and Love Them! Adjusting these properly is key for the first time you take them out. If you don't, getting your boot in and out of the binding won't work quite right. Took a bit longer to set up when installing than my friend's pair of Burton Cartels, but well worth the effort for the time saved at the top of the runs. I run with a mixed group of skiiers and boarders. Before they were always waiting on me. Now I skate off the lift, flip the highback and latch, and am strapped in and headed down the slope by the time they get their goggles adjusted. As other folks mentioned, you can get into these when you're not on a flat area, just drop to your knees rather than sit, kick your boot into the biding and flip up the back. Getting into these while sitting is possible...but a complete PITA and if that's your preferred method for strapping in and you can't deal with the methods listed above...these aren't the bindings for you. For the people that say they're too expensive, I ask you this: "How much do your lift tickets cost, and how many more runs do you think you could get out of them if you weren't spending all that time ratcheting in every time you reached your drop off point?"
Ben Fowler
Fast & Responsive
As one reviewer said, because of the number of adjustments on these bindings, it might take a few runs to get them how you want them. Get lower model if you're a beginner. After tweaking mine a few times, transitions have become almost effortless. The only waiting I do is when my friends are all on their butts taking forever to strap in. I am a little disappointed with the strap adjustments on the toe-side of the baseplate. The screw loosened during day 4, but I'll just put some threadlock on it and it should be good. I tried a demo board that had mission bindings, and I wasn't impressed. Step, Lift, DONE!
You can strap in on a hill
Yes you can strap-in on a hill. Face up-hill and dig in your uphill edge so your board isn't sliding all over. Now kick your foot into the binding, pull up the highback/lever mechanism. It's not that hard.
The old Flows rule and these new Flows are even better
I love Flows and recommend them to all of my friends. I rode regular style bindings only a handful of times before I got my first Flows.
The convenience of Flows cannot be stated enough - imagine you skate off the lift, step in and pull the back up; I can get strapped in, in literally under 5 seconds.
The pressure distribution is far superior - pressure is distributed across the top of the entire foot, not just along two narrow bands. With regular bindings, I would sometimes put my toes to sleep because I like things tight and locked in, with Flows, no matter how hard I crank them, the pressure is across my whole foot so nothing goes to sleep.
I also like that I can get things adjusted perfectly by the second run and then just step in each time for the rest of the day or even week, no more constant fiddling. And with the new 4 ratchet system, whereby you can ratchet the foot pad into place, Flows have everything you could want from a binding and more. (my roommate has old, pre-ratchet, Flows and still prefers them to normal bindings)
Some people do not like Flows, I acknowledge this. Their complaints are usually along the following lines:
1.They don't like stepping in (you cannot get into Flows while seated on the ground). It takes a bit of balance and coordination at first, if you don't have a flat(ish) spot to strap in, but I ride all over Colorado and I've never had a problem finding a suitable spot. Plus, you can strap in seated at a bench or chair, which is nice. Anyway, any issues getting in, go away quickly with practice and you will always find yourself standing, comfortably strapped in, looking at your friends who are sitting in the snow, feeding straps through gates and cranking away.
2. They don't like the performance: If you are a top level snowboarder, you may notice a difference. I have not - I ride about 30 - 50 times per year, do some powder, some park, some all-mountain, some backcountry and I cannot tell a difference in the performance or responsiveness between Flows and regular. The high-back is plenty stiff (some riders think it won't be because it clicks into place and is held by a wire).
never have to sit down again.
I tried these bindings for the first time this year and i'm not going back to the "sit down" two strap bindings ever again. Spent less time sitting in the snow and more time shreding it. Yes, it takes some getting used to, but after a few runs i was able to strap in while still moving from the lift to the slope and there were even times that im actually heading down the slope and straping in on the move. The only drawback is if your friends are still using the 2-strap styles, you end up still waiting for them... but this time at the bottom of the run.
nxt at's
These bindings looked amazing so i bought them. my second time using them they broke, very disappointing. They are very hard to get out of. the back latch is very difficult, it feels like your going to break the binding trying to undo the latch. But once they are on, they are great bindings. Overall, They are not worth the $200+ pricetag though.
OK so far...
I'm in complete agreement with the previous reviewer who said that you need to be on a flat for you to buckle in properly due to the back latch.. other wise it's a difficult angle to strap in when you're on the ground. The latch itself is also difficult to flip up and down which is inconvenient. Also, I bought the correct binding size which corresponds to my boot size but i still need to constantly loosen two out the four mini buckles to get my boot in far enough for the back latch to clamp up which kind of eliminates the convenience I was buying these for. Having said that, once you're in these things feel and ride like a dream.. the pressure point dispersement compared to the typical 2-strap binding is unreal. So all in all I would say buy these for the performance and feel but do not expect a quicker mount/dismount at the top and bottom of the mountain.
So Quick
These are great! First season in these from traditional strap in bindings and find the time and ease getting in an out of these sooo good! and half the time you don't even have to stop from lift to slope! Have one criticism the ladder straps are a bit weak and broke two in the first 3 days. Also the front binding where its adjustable has a small nylon spacer which chews out in the first 2 days rendering the setting sloppy, whilst it doesn't really effect performance is just a poor design fault, and ended up having these replaced on snow with locknut & bolt setup. the rear strap adjuster jammed on right one within the first week also, but none of these issues would stop me buying this setup. The pressure dispersment on the boot is more even and comfortable and the ease to get into the bindings is fantastic! So, yep get em'

Walmart Announces $11.8 To $12.8 Billion FY2015 Global Capital Expenditure Plan; Company Remains Focused On Comp Sales Growth, International Returns, Leverage Initiatives And Capital Discipline
During fiscal year 2015, Sam's Club will open approximately 17 to 22 clubs, including relocations and expansions. Remodeling is slated for between 55 and 60 clubs. Sam's is projecting a capital budget of approximately $1 billion, in line with its updated plan for fiscal year 2014.
Walmart International Details
Walmart International decreased its fiscal year 2014 projected capital investments by $500 million to a range of $4.0 to $4.5 billion, due to fewer new store openings in Mexico and India. In addition, International plans to close approximately 50 underperforming stores in Brazil and China. The majority of the closures will occur in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014. International now expects to add approximately 14 million net retail square feet, roughly 7 million square feet below its original guidance of 20 to 22 million square feet.
Walmart International continues to invest in organic growth across its markets and expects fiscal year 2015 capital expenditures to range from $4.0 to $4.5 billion, which will generate approximately 12 to 14 million net retail square feet among its 26 markets."We've made progress on having everyday low price in every market, and we are improving our new store performance and e-commerce capabilities," said Walmart International president and CEO Doug McMillon. "We are confident that with disciplined growth and greater e-commerce integration in our business, we will have in place a solid framework for long-term growth and improved returns. "Our guidance for fiscal year 2015 reflects actions to continue strengthening our position in markets like China and Brazil," McMillon added. "We are managing our portfolio to be a best-in-class operator through innovation, making compliance a competitive advantage and winning with an e-commerce strategy that offers a unique shopping experience across all channels." Global eCommerce Details Walmart Global eCommerce President and CEO Neil Ashe outlined the progress made during the past year on the company's e-commerce strategy. The company made a number of smaller acquisitions during this fiscal year to strengthen technology expertise and add talent.

The storm is forecast by the National Hurricane Center to brush quickly past the Outer Banks today with higher winds offshore. The center plans no watches or warnings.
Periods of heavy rain are possible Wednesday. Forecasters are also warning of dangerous rip currents along the coast and surf of 2 to 4 feet quickly rising to 4 to 6 feet Wednesday afternoon.
Beryl delivered a considerable amount of rain to Florida and Georgia as it moved ashore Monday.
The flood watch is through Wednesday night for counties south and west of the Albemarle Sound.
As much as 2 to 4 inches of rain are forecast, with 4 to 6 inches in areas of heavy rain bands.
Some school systems are releasing students early as a precaution: Beaufort County, three hours early; Washington, 11 a.m.; Tyrrell, noon; Bertie, noon; Hyde, 12:30 p.m.
On Sunday morning, estimated top winds were 70 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center, but they had diminished to less than 39 mph as it moved over land Monday.
During the month of May, only four tropical systems since 1908 have passed within 100 nautical miles of Cape Hatteras before this year, according to NOAA historical records. The most recent was Extratropical Storm Andrea in 2007, which formed 95 miles east-northeast of Buxton on May 6, then drifted off the southeast coast before dissapating near Bermuda.
The center of an unnamed hurricane in 1908 crossed over Cape Hatteras on May 29, with maximum sustained winds of 75 mph.
On May 22, the center of Tropical Storm Alberto was about 170 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras when it was no longer classified as a named tropical system by the National Hurricane Center.
The tropical weather should clear out by Thursday.
