Oregon minimum wage workers to get raises
- Andy Giegerich
- Digital Managing Editor- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
When Jan. 1 hits, cost-of-living hikes will boost Oregon's minimum wage by 15 cents.
The new rate, of $8.95 per hour, would mean an extra $312 a year, according to the Silverton-based Oregon Center for Public Policy.
Oregon voters had approved a measure tying the state's minimum wage to cost-of-living increases in 2002.
"Strengthening the buying power of low-wage workers is especially critical in this economic climate," said Chuck Sheketoff, the Center's executive director, in a release. He pointed out that 60 percent of jobs lost during the recession were middle-wage positions while 58 percent of the newly created jobs during the recovery were low-wage occupations. The data comes from the National Employment Law Project.
Oregon's Employment Department counted some 130,000 jobs during 2012's first quarter that paid less than $8.95 an hour.
About 40 percent of those are in the leisure, hospitality and retail industries.

My family had a great experience when staying three nights at Margaret's place! The house was very nice and they had lovely time there. They'll will be back for sure! Thank you Margaret!
excellent apartment, spacious, clean and quiet. Good location.
Loved Margaret's condo!! There was 6 of us including kids and this is definetely the most convenient place to stay. We were also allowed into the apt before the check-in time since it was Thanksgiving, which helped a great deal. I would recommend staying here 100%.
Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit in Margaret's Condo. Alles hat tiptop geklappt und die Wohnung, welche etwas ausserhalb des Zentums liegt war sauber, gut eingerichtet und man hat eine schöne Aussicht. Sehr zu empfehlen!
I stayed in Margaret's flat with my partner and parents for a long weekend and we were all very comfortable. The location is ideal – only a five or ten minute drive into downtown Key West, and with a nice view over the nature reserve and airport. Shirley, the property manager, was easy to reach (we arrived early and rang to see if it was okay to check in before the agreed time, and it was). A couple of things to be aware of: the internet connection is unreliable and there are few frills (e.g. no dish soap), so make sure you bring everything with you. Also we did not see a washer/dryer, but it may have been in a separate area of the building (not a problem for us either way). We would stay at Margaret's flat again happily.
The condo is very nice and well located, very close to the beach and only a 5 minute drive to the heart of key west. The apartment was clean and fully equipped. thank you
we had a great time in Key West, and enjoyed the stay at Margaret's cute and comfortable apartment.

Stomping down tall onion stalks
chuckhammond1944April 4, 2007
Probably and old wives tale but I remember my old neighbor always stomping down "not too hard" on onion stalks when they were about 12 to 15 inches tall. He said it stopped them from spending too much energy on the stalk and more on the onion. Should I do this or was he not only old but crazy?

Denise Duhamel
They decide to exchange heads.
Barbie squeezes the small opening under her chin
over Ken's bulging neck socket. His wide jaw line jostles
atop his girlfriend's body, loosely,
like one of those novelty dogs
destined to gaze from the back windows of cars.
The two dolls chase each other around the orange Country Camper
unsure what they'll do when they're within touching distance.
Ken wants to feel Barbie's toes between his lips,
take off one of her legs and force his whole arm inside her.
With only the vaguest suggestion of genitals,
all the alluring qualities they possess as fashion dolls,
up until now, have done neither of them much good.
But suddenly Barbie is excited looking at her own body
under the weight of Ken's face. He is part circus freak,
part thwarted hermaphrodite. And she is imagining
she is somebody else-- maybe somebody middle class and ordinary,
maybe another teenage model being caught in a scandal.
The night had begun with Barbie getting angry
at finding Ken's blow up doll, folded and stuffed
under the couch. He was defensive and ashamed, especially about
not having the breath to inflate her. But after a round
of pretend-tears, Barbie and Ken vowed to try
to make their relationship work. With their good memories
as sustaining as good food, they listened to late-night radio
talk shows, one featuring Doctor Ruth. When all else fails,
just hold each other, the small sex therapist crooned.
Barbie and Ken, on cue, groped in the dark,
their interchangeable skin glowing, the color of Band-Aids.
Then, they let themselves go-- Soon Barbie was begging Ken
to try on her spandex miniskirt. She showed him how
to pivot as though he was on a runway. Ken begged
to tie Barbie onto his yellow surfboard and spin her
on the kitcen table until she grew dizzy. Anything,
anything, they both said to the other's requests,
their mirrored desires bubbling from the most unlikely places.

Alphabet Killer (2008) Thriller Movie Review
Thriller movies Review
A ten year old girl is found brutally murdered outside the small blue-collar city of Rochester, New York, and obsessed police detective Megan Paige (Eliza Dushku of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and DOLLHOUSE) suffers a mental breakdown while trying to solve the crime. But when the child-killings resume two years later, Megan's return to the investigation also brings back her own horrific hallucinations. Even if she can prove a 'double initial' connection to the slayings, will she hang onto her sanity long enough to catch a psychopath? Cary Elwes (SAW), Michael Ironside (STARSHIP TROOPERS), Bill Moseley (THE DEVIL'S REJECTS), Carl Lumbly (ALIAS) and Academy Award® winner Timothy Hutton co-star in this chilling thriller directed by Rob Schmidt.
Based on the true story of the double initial killings in Rochester, NY.

Words and Balance
30 NovOn Friday I performed a new collaboration at Bites:Remix curated by Upswing at the Albany. I was paired with Albany associate artist Fergus Evans, an experimental theatre maker and fellow Manchester expat.
We had only 3 days to create the piece. We looked at ways to combine walking globe and text in a way that allowed the physical instability to support the emotional vulnerability of my story. I found it fulfilling to experiment with writing, something I have wanted to try for a long time. It took me back to when I was little, getting an old typewriter for Christmas.
Working with Fergus was a DREAM. I felt safe in his dramaturgical arms, that his opinion was honest and fair, that he would push me but know when to stop. All this is vital when exploring your own past in a public forum.
As a street performer this was completely opposite to the type of work I create and perform. Bites: Remix gave me the opportunity to try something completely new and trusted in my practice as an artist. I usually delve into realms of the surreal and absurd, and my work is a chance for me to escape. In this piece I wanted to stare into the headlights of my past. We all have things we carry with us, and in that we are not alone.

A wind tunnel test section having an outer shell member and an inner liner member within the shell member. Bearings are provided between the inner liner and shell member to permit rotation of the inner liner within the shell member. Holes are provided in the inner liner to permit the insertion of probes into the test section. Probe retainer plugs hold the probes in the holes. The probe retainer plugs are replaced by blind plugs for sealing the holes when the probes are removed. Elongated slots are provided in the outer shell so that the probes can be located in different positions in the test section. A drive mechanism is provided for rotating the inner liner within the outer shell.
I claim:
1. A wind tunnel test section, comprising: an outer cylindrical shell member; a cylindrical inner liner positioned within said shell member; a pair of bearing members at opposite endsof said liner member, between the liner member and the outer shell member; a plurality of probe retainer plugs in said liner member, adapted to support a test probe within the test section; a plurality of elongated circumferentially positioned slots insaid outer shell member positioned adjacent said probe retainer plugs; means for rotating said inner liner member within said outer shell member, to thereby move said probe retainer plugs along the slots in said outer shell member.
2. The apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said means for rotating said inner liner member within said outer shell member, comprises: a drive rod passing through one of said circumferentially positioned slots and attached to said inner linermember; a support frame mounted on said outer shell member; means for positioning said support frame on said outer shell; means, mounted on said support frame for moving said drive rod along said slot to thereby rotate the inner liner within saidouter shell.
3. The device as recited in claim 2 wherein said means for moving said drive rod along said slot includes: a screw drive mounted on said support frame; a motor, supported on said support frame, connected to said screw drive; a screw followeron said screw drive; a linear bearing pivotably supported on said screw follower; a hollow shaft slidably supported in said linear bearing; said drive rod being positioned within said hollow shaft.
In conventional test sections for wind tunnels, it is sometimes desirable to obtain test data at various positions around the test device. It is necessary to provide apparatus to obtain the test data which will not cause undesirable flowdisturbances within the test section.
In one prior art test system, the test device is mounted upon a movable support. This requires a complex configuration to provide apparatus which will permit movement of the test apparatus without causing undesirable flow disturbances within thetest section.
It has been suggested that slots with movable closure elements be provided to permit movement of probes within a test section. It is difficult to provide a movable closure element that will not cause undesirable flow disturbances in the testsection.
According to this invention, a wind tunnel test section is provided wherein a cylindrical inner liner member is located within a cylindrical outer shell member. Bearing members are provided between the inner liner and outer shell at the two endsof the test section. Apparatus is provided to rotate the inner liner within the outer shell. Probe holders are located in holes in the inner liner members. Slots are provided in the outer shell to accommodate the probes as the inner liner is rotatedwithin the outer shell.
FIG. 1 is a partially schematic end view of the wind tunnel test section of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a partially schematic sectional view of the device of FIG. 1 taken along the line 2--2.
FIG. 3 is a broken enlarged cross sectional view of the inner liner for the device of FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 4 is a top view of the inner liner for the device of FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view taken along the line 5--5 of FIG. 4.
FIG. 6 is a top view of the outer shell member for the device of FIGS. 1 and 2.
FIG. 7 shows the device of FIG. 2 with a center body and vane section mounted within the test section.
Reference is now made to FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawing which show a wind tunnel 10 having a cylindrical outer shell member 12 mounted on supports 14. A cylindrical inner liner member 16 is supported on bearings 18 and 20 within the outer shellmember 12. The bearings 18 and 20 are preferably made of Teflon. An O-ring seal 22 is provided in slot 23 adjacent the bearing 18.
The liner member 16 is made of wood laminates 24 as shown in FIG. 3. A seal support end plate 26 is secured to one end of the inner liner. A seal holder ring 28 on end plate 26 projects into a circular slot 30 in a sealing ring 32. An O-ring34 fits into ring holder 28 and engages surface 36 to provide a seal. The O-rings 22 and 34 are made from conventional polyflow tubing.
The inner liner 16 has a plurality of square holes 38 extending through the wall and a plurality of square holes 40 extending partially through the wall, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5. The holes 38 have aluminum inserts 42 secured therein with anepoxy cement 43. A center hole 44 in insert 42 is cylindrically shaped and has a threaded portion 45 for receiving the probe retainer plug 46. Blind plugs 46' are threaded into the holes 44 that are not being used for probes.
Holes 40 have square aluminum inserts 48 with cylindrical stainless steel liners 49 which are inserted in the inserts 48 with a press fit. The inserts 48 and liners 49 form driving hard points for the inner liner 16.
The outer shell 12 has a plurality of elongated circumferential slots 50 which register with holes 38 and 40 in the inner liner member 16 so that rotation of the inner liner within the outer shell will cause the probes to move in slots 50. Awind tunnel mounting flange 51 is welded to one end of the outer shell 12 and acts as an abutment for the inner liner. Trackways 60 and 62, for hold down clamps, are secured to the outer surface of outer shell 12.
A drive mechanism 52 is mounted on the outer shell 12. The drive mechanism has a support member 54 which substantially conforms to the outer surface of outer shell member 12. The support member 54 has a pair of pins 56 which engage holes 58, inthe outer shell 12, to position the drive mechanism on the outer shell 12. Over-center clamps 64 and 66 are secured in trackways 60 and 62 on the outer shell 12 and are movable in the trackways to the position of the support member 54 and act to retainthe support member.
The support member 54 forms part of a support frame 68. A screw drive 70 is held by the support frame 68 and is driven by a motor 72.
A linear screw follower 74 has a bracket 76 secured thereto. A linear bearing 78 is pivotably supported on bracket 76 and has a hollow shaft 80 passing through the bearing. The shaft 80 is secured to a guide member 82 which rides on the supportmember 54. A drive rod 84 is threaded into the top of shaft 80 and extends into one of the liners 49 in one of the holes 40.
Guide brackets 86 are positioned adjacent the path of the guide member 82 and have rotatable positioning supports 87 for engaging the guide member 82. A pair of probe supports are shown schematically at 88. The position of the probe can beindicated at a remote location by means of a variable potentiometer 90 which is driven by a wire 92 which passes over pulleys 94, 95, 96 and potentiometer drive shaft 97 and which is secured to opposite sides of guide member 82 at 93.
Limit motion stop switches 98 and 99 act to stop the motor in a conventional manner.
In the operation of the device of the invention, the drive mechanism is positioned over one of the elongated slots 50 in the outer shell to permit positioning the probes in the desired longitudinal position within the test section. With pins 56engaging corresponding holes 58, the over-center clamps 64 and 66 are moved in trackways 60 and 62 to a position to retain the support member 54 in place. The pin 84 is then inserted into the corresponding driving hard point in liner 16. Probes canthen be inserted in the desired probe support plug 46. Motor 72 is then started to position the probes in the desired circumferential position within the test section. The probes extending through outer shell 12 move in slots 50. The stop switches actto stop the motor before the probes reach the end of the slots 50.
One use of the device of the invention is shown in FIG. 7, wherein a vane system 101 surrounding a center body 102 is positioned within the test section 10. Three supports 104, one of which is shown, support the other end of the center body. The positioning mechanism can then be used to position probes at various positions in the flow channel 106, surrounding the center body 102.
There is thus provided a test section for a wind tunnel which permits movement of the test probes, with respect to a test device, within the test section, which substantially reduces undesirable flow disturbances within the test section.

DEFINITION of 'Vested Interest'
1. The lawful right of an individual or entity to gain access to tangible or intangible property now or in the future. A vested interest is an entitled benefit, which can be conveyed to a separate party. There is usually a vesting period before the claimant can gain access to the asset or property. Due to the right of ownership, the benefit can not be taken away i.e. the vested funds are not contingent on any action or inaction.
2. A financial or personal stake one entity has in an action, separate entity or commitment, with the expectation of realized benefits in the present or the future.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Vested Interest'
1. This can most notably be seen in employee pension plans. Contributions are made under the stipulation that retirement funds will be entitled to the participant, known as a vested right. The vesting period (period of time before access is granted) varies among pension plans. The withdrawal amounts can be restricted to a certain percent each year. For example, after waiting the five year vesting period, Peter was only allowed to withdraw 20% of his retirement fund each year.
2. In this case, the outcome will affect the entity, thus creating a vested interest. For example, if you have a mortgage, your bank has a vested interest in your ability to make your periodic payments.

Piper Jaffray Calls Rumors of Sub-$500 Mac "Not Out of the Question" [UPDATED]
TMO Reports - Piper Jaffray Calls Rumors of Sub-$500 Mac "Not Out of the Question" [UPDATED]
by , 6:30 PM EST, December 30th, 2004
Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster commented on rumors of a new, inexpensive iMac Thursday saying it is "not out of the question" for Apple to release such a product.
Various Mac rumor Web sites began to report on Wednesday news of a sub-$500 iMac Apple is expected to announce at Mac Expo in San Francisco. Reports said the new iMac will use a G4 processor at around 1.33Ghz in speed and come with a Combo drive, 256MB of memory, and a suite of software including iLife '05.
Mr. Munster commented he would view the introduction of a US$500 iMac "positively" and wrote that an inexpensive Mac "would appeal to many potential 'switchers' that would likely not make the move at a $1,299 price point, but would consider a $500 product."
His opinion is based on Piper Jaffray's belief that "Windows iPod owners and PC users irritated by security concerns," and "are more apt to buy a Mac now than in the recent past." According to Mr. Munster, Apple could capitalize on that with a low-end entry Mac.
If the rumors end up not being true, Piper Jaffray is keeping to its estimates that Windows-using iPod owners will Switch at a rate of 13%.
While several Wall Street analysts have made note of the iPod Halo Effect, Mr. Munster has been the most bullish on the note. His prognostications are based, in part, on a survey conducted by Piper Jaffray that found a high percentage of iPod users thinking positive thoughts about other Apple products, including the Mac.
Mr. Munster also went on record to say he expects Apple to sell 68.5 million songs through the iTunes Music Store during the December quarter, and that Apple will release a flash-based iPod, perhaps as early as January's Macworld San Francisco. He did not offer any opinion on when the company might release this supposed inexpensive Mac, but noted again in Thursday's client advisory that he expects Apple to make some new announcements at the show, and that the company has done so in the past.
Piper Jaffray has not changed its 12-month target for Apple, which is currently at $100, the highest of all Wall Street brokerages. Mr. Munster wrote simply that if the rumors are true, then it would accelerate the potential iPod Halo Effect, the school of thought that some Windows-using iPod owners will Switch to the Mac.
Apple's stock closed Thursday at $64.80, up 0.36, or 0.56%, on moderate volume.

Very Nice
Posted Jan 30, 2015We were in town for a funeral and found the hotel online. It took a little effort to find the hotel in the dark but were handsomely rewarded by a friendly staff, a clean, comfortable room and a delightful breakfast.

Wonderful weekend. All was great. One suggestion
Posted Jan 28, 2015Pros: The hotel was very pleasant. All of the staff were friendly and pleasant.
Cons: See above
Location: We were visiting friends in Milton so did not avail ourselves to the local attractions.
We had adjoining rooms with our 16 year old daughter. (#s 315 and 317) Saturday night our daughter came into our room and let the door between our rooms close. We could not re-enter her room. We could not get in from the hall because she had put the security latch on. The young man at the front desk came up to try to help and then left to call Maintenance. We worked on the latch for about an hour using every "tool" we could think of from a flyswatter to credit cards and clothes hangers. We finally got the latch open with a phone charger and the cardboard "towel changing" card from the bathroom!! I cannot imagine what the outcome would have been if there was a small child in that room, or an adult with a medical emergency. Is there not a special tool that the security latch installers can supply to use in such an incidence? I now know how to get into a room accidently locked. Do your employees?

Nice hotel, decent price
Posted Jan 23, 2015Location: Not the best location, but if you know the area, there's plenty of stuff around to do.
There was only one minor issue that had we mentioned to front desk probably could've been resolved...there was a musty smell coming from the bathroom sink. We just never got around to saying something & come the day before our checkout we just figured we'd deal with it one more night. Also, I don't think I've found a hotel bed yet that I would consider comfortable!

Sound proofing needed!
Posted Jan 7, 2015The staff member who checked us in was great. He was friendly, accommodating, and helpful. The issue was the NOISE. There were kids running up and down the hall at various times during the night (I am talking 2 & 3am - not 10 or 11pm) The kids in the room above us were also up during the night. Couldn't sleep! It seems to be a fairly new hotel - SURELY the builders could have added some sound proofing!?!?!? The staff said other complaints were made, and he went to a few rooms to talk to the kids (there were several young cyclists staying the night). However, there really wasn't much he could do about the incidents during the night.

Nice hotel...quiet and cozy
Posted Dec 15, 2014After a long late night trip to the hotel coming from Towson,MD I was able to relax in my hotel room which was VERY clean and cozy. The hotel employees were all friendly and warm. The front desk guy Irvin even pulled up google maps and directed me over the phone which highways and exits to take to get there which I highly appreciated. No hassle no problems.

Crazy night!
Posted Nov 12, 2014 on Hotels.comThe hotel is very clean and new but it's not sound proof. You can hear footsteps from upstair and in front of your room. There're activities next door till 3 am and another one started chanting at 6 am, so we had very little sleep. It was the worst experience in Hampton Inn ever. In addition, the location is not easy access from the main road. It's hard to find.

Nice Hotel, hard to find
Posted Nov 11, 2014 on Hotels.comOverall, vey clean, well appointed hotel. Good breakfast and the pool area is well kept. It's very hard to find the turn in...the road in still says "No Outlet". Tucked off of the highway in a newer development so many GPS will not have the location. I had it tagged from a stay two years ago....otherwise it's a print out from MapQuest and a trick turn in off the highway and even more confusing to the parking lot

En route ... and back!
Posted Nov 5, 2014We originally discovered this hotel through an excellent online review and stayed here as we traveled south. We liked it so well that we chose it again for our return home. It is clean, modern and comfortable, the staff is very attentive and pleasant and we also appreciated a great breakfast buffet, served from 6am - 10am. The only downside with staying at this particular Hampton is that you will have to travel into town (5 - 7 minutes) for a restaurant. But, that said, I'd stay here again, in a heartbeat!

Hamilton hoping to agree new Mercedes deal
With a year of his current contract still to run, Lewis Hamilton has admitted that he is looking to secure a new deal with Mercedes before the end of 2014.Ahead of the summer break, and a weekend which could see the Briton take the championship lead for the second time this year, the 2008 champion admitted that whilst there is no immediate rush he would ideally like to wrap things up sooner rather than later.'I am sure something will happen this year,' he told reporters at the Hungaroring. 'But now is not the time to really focus on that.'I've made it clear to them that they don't have to worry,' he continued, 'I'm not out seeing what else there is for me.

Great hotel, close to everything
Posted Mar 1, 2015Pros: Everything 3rd time in Playa best hotel yet
Cons: Tea/coffee in room
12 of us of varing ages stayed for 9 days. A quiet calm oasis in bustling Playa. The hotel was fantastic as were the staff. Great Tapas resturant next door. The staff ensure this is not a party hotel so if your looking for that go elsewhere. If you want to wind down in a lovely garden with two refreshing plunge pools and drink sangria in a hot tub this is the place for you. The hotel has a lots of books as I forgot mine this was a nice touch. i don't think anyone wanting to relax after a day of diving or sightseeing will be disappointed. Also great advice given on local restaurants. Coffee available 24 hours in lobby. Pastries every afternoon, wine and cakes some evenings all complimentary. A very nice touch.

Paradise at the La Pasion Boutique Hotel.
Posted Feb 28, 2015Pros: The staff were excellent, the hotel was immaculately clean, the extra little touches such as wine, flowers, candy and the very good breakfast each day
Cons: None that come to mind.
Location: The hotel is a few blocks from the beach, but the sights, shops, restaurants, and bars are at your fingertips. Carnival was held while we were there.
The la passion hotel is a hidden paradise in Playa del Carmen!! The hotel is a few blocks from the beach, but it gives you a chance to see the sights, shop, eat, and interact with many people. The hotel is very clean and professionally run......the staff are 'excellent, attentive, courteous and interactive'. We received candy upon check-in, bottles of wine during Carnival, flowers for Valentines and every night, wine and brownies!! Breakfast was included in the rate and it was bountiful and very well prepared; Conrad, Gabriel, and Martine served wonderful food, conversation, and many enjoyable moments!! Management staff were very accommodating, accessible, and approachable. The hotel was immaculately clean as were the pools and grounds. We were there for two weeks and hated to leave...it was like home-away-from-home!! We will be going back next year for possibly three weeks.

Just Ok
Posted Feb 19, 2015Pros: The breakfast (that was included) was good.
Location: Hotel is just a few blocks from 5th ave.
The pool and hot tub were disappointing. The hotel is across the street from a park, which was crowded with people just hanging out (with loud music).

Wonderful place!
Posted Feb 8, 2015 La Pasion has these cozy little nooks to sit in and look at the various coffee table books the owners have left for the guests. Cold water or coffee are always there and sometimes the leftover pastries from breakfast. In the evening there was wine and chocolate truffles when you returned from dinner. The breakfast in the adjoining restaurant is fantastic and many of the hotel staff are the waiters.The staff are fantastic. Friendly, funny, helpful, they are the heart...la pasion of this hotel. Our room was comfortable, a good size and the balcony was perfect. The hotel is a 10 minute walk from the main 5th Avenida. Being away from this now very Americanized street, you can still see the real Playa in the smaller restaurants and shops. The hotel is across the street from the main square and municipal offices. We found our room to be very quiet at night although we had an interior courtyard room. By the way, the owners live upstairs at one end of the hotel. This should give you a good indication of the care and attention La Pasion receives.

Perfect stay for a Playa Del Carmen getaway.
Posted Feb 3, 2015Great little hotel. This place offers local charm and is nice way to experience real Mexico but be close to the beach and touristy stuff if that is your thing. We had a car for the sake of exploring the area and this hotel offers an underground parking garage which was awesome - did not have to worry about keeping the rental car safe. A quick walk to the Beach, coffee shops, dining and yoga and quick driving access to the 307 which is the main road. Paid for a city view and got upgraded to a courtyard pool view just by asking nicely. Other nice perks was complimentary wine, Chocolate. Water and sweets. Can't go wrong with this place.

The science behind the region's largest 1080 blitz to save native birds from a predicted pest plague is being questioned by opponents.
They say the Department of Conservation lacks baseline data showing targeted back country wildlife populations benefit from aerial pest control efforts in it's Battle for Our Birds campaign.
Tasman District Council is assessing DOC's resource consent application to drop 1080 across 145,496 hectares of Kahurangi National Park. A further 56,864ha of parkland will be covered in neighbouring Buller district as part of the same operation. Council consent has already been given for a parallel operation across parts of Abel Tasman National Park.
The Kahurangi National Park consent is for two years, but DOC hopes to do the pre-feed and poison bait drops between late winter and early spring to best protect specific high-risk native species.
In a combined statement, former Forest Service population ecologist Jim Hilton and Golden Bay's Bill Wallace, of the BAN 1080 political party, said DOC's assessment of the proposed drops said "there is no specific survey data available for the abundance and distribution of most bird species throughout particular areas".
Wallace said the Tasman District Council needed to adhere to the same strict rules they used for other resource consent applicants and, in particular, provide the before and after science on the poisoned impact site and unpoisoned control area.
He urged residents to demand that council publicly notify the planned aerial operation - something which Tasman District Council has never done.
Hilton, a former farmer and trapper who lives part-time in the Motueka Valley, said the back country was cold and wet and dark. "There are rats and possums in there, but they are in low numbers, like the birds. The greatest populations of birds largely prefer the warmer lowland bush where food is more abundant.
"If we are putting baits in the bush and killing 80 to 100 per cent of the rats and possums we are also killing a lot of everything else. There is so much baseline information that we don't know - and that's the criminal thing about it."
He has joined other local 1080 opponents fighting against the massive aerial drops which Conservation Minister Nick Smith announced in April.
Smith said the current one in 10-15 year beech mast would drop tonnes of seed and fuel a plague of rats and stoats that would annihilate natives birds once the seed germinated in spring. The programme will cost around $21 million over five years and come from DOC's annual $335m budget.
A DOC spokesman said two decades of research in South Westland's Landsborough Valley suggested that strategic pest management mitigated the impacts of predation on forest birds, including the most vulnerable species.
He said Landsborough had been the subject of multiple 1080 aerial operations and had a substantial mohua population.
The detailed proof of concept could be applied to other areas. By measuring the scale of threats and measuring "at-risk" species, it was possible to interpret the likely threat to vulnerable populations, he said.
For specific areas proposed for the Battle for Our Birds pest control operation, baseline surveys have been conducted on species of native birds within the Eastern Kahurangi treatment site.
These included five-yearly surveys of great spotted kiwi on the Gouland Downs since 1987, on-going monitoring and management of whio in the Wangapeka/Fyfe area since 2003, management and monitoring of rock wren at Henderson Basin since 1989 and kea census and productivity monitoring at Mt Arthur/Wangapeka between 2010 and 2012, he said.
In its consent application, DOC said between 1kg and 2kg of poisoned baits would be dropped per hectare in the impending operation, with kaka, kea and the native falcon the species most at risk of being subjected to by-kill.
Meanwhile both sides of the 1080 debate will be brought to Nelson this year.
Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment Jan Wright will speak for the use of 1080 on August 19 at Old St John's. Jim Hilton will speak against its use on December 9 at Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology.

Social Intelligence M&A: Visible Technologies Acquires Cymfony
Posted by Zach Hofer-Shall on April 6, 2012
Big news in the social intelligence world: Two of the larger listening platforms become one as Visible Technologies acquires Cymfony. You can read more about the acquisition here.
From my perspective, this is a smart move for both Visible Technologies and Cymfony. Although they have overlapping backers, the real benefit comes from their complementing offerings. Visible Technologies has its Visible Intelligence platform — one that receives consistent praise from end users for its usability, functionality, and data quality. But while Visible Technologies provides a strong tool set, the vendor has had some trouble growing internationally — both within its technology offering and in research and consulting services.
In an almost-exact contrast, Cymfony has one of the stronger international offerings — through its services and data sourcing — but its dashboard and technologies lagged behind the market's evolution. Combining Visible Technologies' dashboard with the support of Cymfony's services and international strength should create a powerful union.
Congratulations to both parties. I am — and I know both vendors' many clients are — eager to see what comes of this acquisition.
