Who Dat?, Inc. "Say Dey Gonna Beat Dem Saints"
Ownership of "Who Dat?," the familiar battle cry of New Orleans Saints fans, is the subject of a no-holds barred trademark battle in Louisiana.
On March 4, 2010, Who Dat?, Inc. sued NFL Properties, the New Orleans Saints, the Secretary of State of Louisiana, and the State of Louisiana, on a litany of trademark claims over its alleged "Who Dat?" trademark. Plaintiff later added five New Orleans merchants to the suit, including "Who Dat Yat Chat," a cafe in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. The breadth of the complaint can only be described as an apparent exercise of what I coin, "kitchen-sink syndrome:" add as many claims and defendants as you can at the outset, and wait for the court to "unclog" the complaint.
According to the complaint, Who Dat?, Inc. owns the "Who Dat?" trademark pursuant to both state registration and federal common law. The plaintiff claims it "developed and nurtured" the "Who Dat?" trademark, and that the defendants' use of the "trademark" in commerce constituted infringement, dilution, and other ills. Although the plaintiff claims it "nurtured" the trademark, the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office canceled Who Dat?, Inc.'s several federal trademarks, including Registration No. 1688040, for plaintiff's apparent failure to maintain the registration. To be fair, it may be hard to adequately "nurture" a "trademark" when vigilantism, a characteristic precursor to kitchen-sink syndrome, is in control. But I presume that what the plaintiff means by "nurture" is that it issued cease-and-desist letters to allegedly "infringing" merchants.
But Who Dat?, Inc. is not the only party claiming it owns the "Who Dat?" trademark. In an apparent nod to its litigious opposing party, the NFL has been policing its alleged "trademark" by issuing cease-and-desist letters to various t-shirt makers, in an attempt to prevent other parties from using the "Who Dat?" "trademark." At a pretrial hearing on November 10th, the NFL changed tactics and appeared to concede that "Who Dat?" on black and gold "should be fair game."
Despite Who Dat?, Inc.'s attempts to enforce its own federal "trademark," a court may be reluctant to agree with the plaintiff that it owned a federal trademark, given its failure to maintain federal registration. But even if the court finds that Who Dat?, Inc., is entitled to federal common law trademark rights, Who Dat?, Inc. faces a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to make out a prima facie case of federal trademark dilution. Under Section 43(c) of the Lanham Act, the plaintiff must establish four elements: (1) its mark is famous; (2) its mark is distinctive; (3) the defendants began using the mark in commerce, after the mark became famous; and (4) defendants' use of plaintiff's mark is likely to cause dilution by blurring or by tarnishment of the mark.
The first element, which requires the mark to be "famous," serves a gate-keeping function that substantially limits the number of potentially successful dilution claims. Under 15 U.S.C. Section 1125(c)(2)(A), a mark is "famous" if it is "widely recognized by the general consuming public" of the U.S. as a designation of source of the mark owner's goods. Board of Regents, University of Texas v. KST Elec. (W.D. Tex. 2008), interpreted "famous" as requiring the mark to be a "household name." There, the court concluded that UT's longhorn logo was not a household name.
If the University of Texas' longhorn logo was not a household name, it's hard to see how Who Dat?, Inc., a Saints fan club company, would be a household name. Although the phrase may very well be recognizable by many, "Who Dat?" likely would not be recognized by many as designating the goods and services of Who Dat?, Inc. Given that the chant has become ubiquitous at Saints games, it is more likely that consumers will associate "Who Dat?" not with Who Dat? Inc., but instead with the famous Saints chant. It thus appears that the defendants have a strong defense against Who Dat?, Inc.'s federal dilution claim.
While the federal dilution claim will likely fail, a critical question the district court must answer before analyzing that claim is whether "Who Dat?" can even be protected as a trademark, or whether it should be "fair game," as the defendants now assert. But one of the most perplexing questions, an apparent anomaly in the plaintiff's kitchen-sink-syndrome-induced litigation strategy, may remain unanswered. Why did Who Dat?, Inc. omit Young Jeezy — whose 2008 song, "Who Dat" peaked at forty-nine on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs – as a named defendant? Maybe Who Dat?, Inc. has been listening to the troubled rapper's lyrics: "I got court tomorrow, I won't even go."

Ear Plugs says:
Although this is now old news, it is interesting to see some old banners now start appearing at recent games.
Drew D. says:
Nice article. I have actually been curious as to what is going on with the "Who Dat?" case ever since the NFL started clamping down on the merchandise manufacturers… I don't know how I feel in who owns what, but I definitely can say that the "Who Dat?" tag line is truly an experience when you attend a game in the Super Dome. Like most fans who love their teams, it is unlike any other event I have been to. The folks from Louisiana are quite proud of their team – even when the performance level isn't up to par.
Fascinating read, and nice wrap up quoting the incredible poet Young Jeezy… quite funny!

Magda and Cassy are two of the most prominent females in this mostly male-dominated scene. Magda records for Hawtin's minimal-techno label M-nus; she and Hawtin often work together. Cassy is well-known for her collaborations with Villalobosher earthy singing voice (a product of her half-Caribbean, half-Austrian ancestry) adds amazing depth and textural richness to some of Villalobos's best tracks. Because of their associations with the Richie-Ricardo juggernaut, though, Cassy and Magda both end up being eclipsed unfairly soby their more famous friends.
Thanks to She's a Dancing Machine and Panoramabar 01, this is all set to change. The two mix CDs respectively make evident Magda and Cassy's formidable prowess as DJs. True to Magda's upbeat personality, her mix is agile and busyloops from 70-odd tracks are stitched together using Ableton Live software to make something fun, frisky, and new. Cassy's mix, meanwhile, is mixed by hand on a pair of decks, and it's slower and more sultry, leaning toward deep house while Magda's mix speeds into minimal techno.
Both ladies also include recent tunes by themselves in these mixes, showcasing their considerable might as producers. Interestingly, Magda includes tracks by Hawtin, and Cassy includes a track by Villalobos, but they use their capabilities as DJs to reframe their music entirely, giving it new layers of context, depth, and meaning. In their subtle ways, they make the tracks their own.

The Giant Chicken (aka Ernie) is a recurring villain in Family Guy. He is the arch enemy of the protagonist of the series, Peter Griffin. His rivalry with Peter started when he gave an expired coupon and got angry, and started beating him. Usually Peter wins most of the fights but the chicken manages to survive in one way or another.
In M.U.G.E.N, he was made by Warner and Judgespear. There also happens to be an MvC version, but it is unknown who edited it.
[show]Warner's versionEdit
Judgespear's (Team S.M.R.T.) Giant ChickenEdit
Judgespear's Giant Chicken is a edit of Warner's version and is a well balanced character. Unlike Peter Griffin, he is not a MvC styled. Instead, his gameplay style is based off of Guilty Gear series. It features new sprites, intros, and hypers.
Hovering the mouse cursor over the icons will display a more direct activation method akin to how the move activations are coded; this is what the following key/legend represents.

Adaptive synthetic-aperture focusing technique for microvasculature imaging using photoacoustic microscopy |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 7, pp. 7555-7563 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (2674 KB)
To improve the lateral resolution of the blood vessels along arbitrary direction out of focus in photoacoustic microscopy (PAM), we propose an adaptive synthetic-aperture focusing technique (ASAFT) for microvasculature imaging which can be automatically applied to each branch of blood vessels, based on our previous two-dimensional (2D) SAFT. The ASAFT is validated both in the phantom study and in vivo imaging. The results demonstrate that ASAFT can provide images of blood vessels with better lateral resolution both at different depths and along various directions compared with one-dimensional and 2D SAFT.

Intellectuals as cultural agenda-setters in the Federal Republic?
Burns, Rob, 1949- and Will, Wilfried van der, 1935-. (2006) Intellectuals as cultural agenda-setters in the Federal Republic? International Journal of Cultural Policy, 12 (3). pp. 291-322. ISSN 1028-6632

This article argues that intellectuals in Germany post‐1945 have had, and continue to have, an important influence both on the political culture in general and on cultural policy in particular. Our thesis has been structured in three parts. The first traces the introduction of the term "intellectuals" into German, sketches out how they have variously been defined and sets out the reasons why they have been polemically abused as well as critically lauded. Parts two and three are dedicated to case studies on Jürgen Habermas and Hilmar Hoffmann respectively. Between them they are seen to embrace the two aspects (cultural politics and cultural policy) of the term Kulturpolitik: Habermas by discursive interventions in a changing terrain of values, mentalities and institutional frameworks determining the lifeworld of an ever changing modernity and Hoffmann by theoretical reflection about the parameters and tasks of cultural policy as a field of professional administration and decision‐making. To what extent, in connection with what issues and areas of public life and at what stages in the development of the Federal Republic they can be deemed to be agenda‐setters is critically assessed throughout.

Sony PlayStation 4 Launch Edition Already Sold Out At Amazon
Gamers are speaking with their wallets following E3 2013, a show that was dominated by SonyPlayStation 4 in the next gen battle.Amazon has already sold out of the $400 PlayStation 4 launch edition of the next gen console, which will be available on day one of Sonys launch. Sony is still selling PS4 as a $400 Standard Edition, but is not guaranteeing when gamers will receive that version this fall.
PS4 is also being bundled as a $500 bundle with two different versions, one including Electronic Arts Battlefield 4 and PS Plus and one including GuerillaGames Killzone Shadow Fall and PS Plus. There are also two other bundles retailing for $460, one including Sonys Knack and the other including Ubisofts Watch Dog.
The Xbox One Day One Edition is still available for $500. Amazon is not currently selling any Xbox One bundles. Microsoft MSFT -0.91%s Forza Motorsport 5 is the only Xbox One game in the Top 20 bestselling games list on the site. Sony has three PS4 games (Watch Dogs, Battlefield 4 and Killzone Shadow Fall) in the Top 20. Gamers are also buying the Dualshock 4 PS4 controller and the PlayStation 4 Camera. Three of the PS4 bundles (all but the Knack bundle) are in the Top 20 in Amazon sales.
While the PS4 Standard Edition is listed number one and Xbox One Day One Edition is listed number two on Amazon, sources have told me that PS4 is outselling Xbox One by two to one. Ive emailed Amazon to confirm these numbers, but have not heard back. Baird video game analyst Colin Sebastian confirmed that PS4 is outselling Xbox One on both Amazon and GameStop GME +3.94%, but has not revealed any specific numbers.
Amazon is currently running a Facebook FB -0.34%poll asking consumers which console theyll purchase, PS4 or Xbox One. With only six hours left in the poll, 95% of the over 40,000 gamers who replied said theyd be purchasing a PS4.
Michael Pachter, video game analyst for Wedbush Securities, expects Sony to sell 12 to 15 million PS4s in its first year. He expects an unsubsidized Xbox One will sell 9 to 10 million in its first year.
I still expect a subsidy for the Xbox One, and each $100 in lower price probably represents 4 to 5 million units annually, said Pachter. At E3, Sony highlighted its used game and DRM policies, and that will make a difference to the hardcore. With that said, there are a lot if Microsoft fan boys out there, so it may not mean a share shift of more than 1 to 2 million consoles. I dont think new customers will understand or care that much.
But those numbers are for the first entire year at retail shelves. Pachter believes Sony and Microsoft will only have about 3 million consoles available worldwide for launch. PJ McNealy, analyst for Digital World Research, said that historically no console has sold more than 1 to 2 million units in North America in a launch window.
Even when consoles are popular, like Nintendo Wii was at launch, supply is shared across the world and the demand doesnt catch up until the following year. Early numbers are showing a demand for PS4 and Xbox One, but the strong showing by Nintendo Wii U at E3 hasnt bumped its next gen console into the Top 20 on Amazon and none of the new Wii U first party exclusives have made the list.
I was able to check out both PS4 and Xbox One games with hands-on demos at E3 this past week. Infamous Second Son stood out in the Sony first party camp, along with Driveclub, Killzone Shadow Fall and Knack. Microsoft had a solid racer with Forza Motorsport 5 and Capcoms Dead Rising 3 offered an open world zombie experience. Respawns Titanfall (an Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC exclusive) stood out in the crowded shooter genre with its micture of giant Titans and on-foot pilots gameplay.
In talking to a developer who wished to remain anonymous, gamers will see a difference on Day One when they compare third party PS4 games to Xbox One head-to-head. The developer told me the PS4 is 40 percent more powerful than Xbox One and games like Call of Duty Ghosts will be noticeably different out of the gate.
In the past, Xbox 360 games looked better out of the gate and over time PS3 games progressively improved to the point where games like The Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls stand out even against some next gen titles. But if this differentiator holds true, not only will Xbox One games have DRM issues and no rental options and limited used game opportunities, the games wont look as good as PS4 titles. That sounds like a perfect storm of negativity for the hardcore gamers.
This processing power issue also could be a potential reason behind the latest controversy that has emerged for Microsoft at E3, in which photos were taken of some Xbox One games running on Windows 7 PCs with NVIDIA graphics cards. Sony PS4 developers took to Twitter saying PS4 demos were running on PS4 dev kits. I know playing PS4 games behind closed doors that the PS4 was clearly visible as I played.
Microsoft certainly has a lot of work to do between now and its November launch to win over gamers. Its the hardcore that are voting now early on sites like Amazon and GameStop. Theres also a much larger audience to connect with. But right now the number of negative stories surrounding Xbox One far outweigh anything positive.
Of course power means nothing if it does't translate to the screen. In the PS4's case it apparently does. I like reading that out of the gate the PS4 is better looking on multi-platform titles. And I would be that the unidentified dev is from Activision as he specifically mentions CoD: Ghosts.

PS4 40% more powerful than the One
I don't need no stinkin' signature!

The American gamers won't care that the PS4 is more powerful. It's because of games like Halo that the average Joe will buy an Xbox One. The PlayStation brand is going to have to do a lot for non hard core American gamers to pick it over the Xbox One.

Average Joe 'Merica will buy it. But no one else. lol.
I have a hard time believing it'll make it past 40million sales in its life.
Everyone should just buy a PS4 its better for the industry as a whole and our games wont get butchered between two sides.
They say an uguu a day keeps the doctor away.

As a current Xbox 360 ONLY gamer I disagree. I will be making the switch to Sony come November. I would never buy a console because of one game. Aside from Halo and Forza, what does MS really have?
I'm sure the "average Joe" isn't quite ready to dump $500 to "snap" Bing, IE and Skype on the same screen. Right now it's about games. It won't be for another year or two before the truly casuals will be able to afford the One and PS4.I don't need no stinkin' signature!

So 40% less powerfull and more expensive? I find it hard how some people are still defending the Xbox One and supporting this company

Yeah, but the "innovation" in this case is restricting offline gaming, used games, etc. Not the kind of innovation I want to support.
Or just stick to the formula that made the 360 so successful.....just upgrade the hardware, add the TV stuff, etc. POOF! Xbox keeps trucking along.Last edited by Christopher; 06-16-2013 at 14:38.

That's a good start and then the One has the always online and DRM issues. However, it's mostly the hardcore who know about these things. We need to spread the word. I had a guy ask me what was the difference between the Xbox 360 and PS3 last gen. We need to spread the word and sang about the unbiased truth.

The casuals aren't going to see the benefit of X1 at all unless they do their research. Casuals are fickle. They had their fun with Kinect and Wii, but I kinda doubt their interest is going to cross generations.
Titanfall looks awesome, but everything I have read about Ryse says it is going to flop bigtime.
06-16-2013 #18
Yeah until I did some reading up on it I didnt know there was such a big difference between the two GPUs and then theres that RAM difference too. Glad to hear about the multiplats looking better because I assumed they would go for console parity. I remember the MS interview saying they weren't going for higher end graphics because they were making Xbone an all in one entertainment box.

Really hoping the PS4 does as good in sales as the PS2 but I think that is asking too much

This sounds great and all. But let's be honest here. This will all boil down to publisher revenues and what publishers get financially from each console maker. Sony has the better tech, (this is a given by now) but Microsoft obviously has the dirty business practices and they're going full steam ahead on this front. For now and until proven otherwise, it's best to judge based on the exclusives.

There's no "Wizard $#@!" or "Clouds" that can make up for the fact that the GPU is 50% stronger, the system bandwidth is monstrously more on the PS4 and the bus-width is 256bit versus 128.
This isn't an advantage that exists in theory between the machines. Thanks to the utter bull$#@! of One games running on high-spec PCs at E3, we won't see a true difference between the machines until the One launches and the fat lady starts singing with the pixel counters (Who, by the way, are frothing at the mouth to get their hands on both machines and start making real comparisons).

Strawberry Frozen Yogurt
- TOTAL TIME: 1 HR 20 MIN plus 4 hr freezing
- SERVINGS: Makes 5 cups
- make-ahead
"I never make frozen yogurt as a low-fat replacement for ice cream," says Jeni Britton. Instead, she likes using yogurt to bring out the natural tanginess of fruits like lemons and strawberries.
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice plus 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- One 1/4-ounce package unflavored powdered gelatin
- 12 ounces strawberries, hulled
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 2 cups plain whole-milk yogurt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Fill a large bowl with ice water. Pour the lemon juice into a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin on top; let stand for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a blender, puree the strawberries until smooth; you should have about 1 cup of strawberry puree.
- In a small saucepan, combine the strawberry puree with the sugar and corn syrup and bring to a boil. Cook over moderately high heat until the sugar dissolves completely, about 1 minute. Remove the strawberry mixture from the heat and stir in the lemon gelatin until it melts.
- In a medium bowl, mix the yogurt with the lemon zest and the hot strawberry puree. Stir in the heavy cream. Set the bowl in the ice water bath and let stand, stirring occasionally, until the strawberry yogurt is cold, about 20 minutes.
- Pour the strawberry yogurt into an ice cream maker and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Pack the frozen yogurt into a plastic container. Press a sheet of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the frozen yogurt and close with an airtight lid. Freeze until firm, about 4 hours.

As Capcom and Midway were churning out more sequels to their respective Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat series, Sega made a clean break with Virtua Fighter, one of the first 3D fighting games. It was also a rarity in that the characters didn't have any supernatural powers, but could perform lots of elaborate combos with just two buttons for punching and kicking. The simplicity would make for a great iOS port, but so far Sega has only released the Genesis version of Virtua Fighter 2, which is graphically inferior.

In thin trade on the last day of 2013, the rupee climbed 11 paise to 61.80 against the dollar, bringing to an end a year that saw the local currency crash to an all—time low and recover to still close with an annual loss of 11 per cent.
The rupee advanced today as local stocks rose and on fresh dollar selling by exporters. However, the gains were limited by a strengthening dollar overseas.
At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened at 61.88 a dollar from the overnight close of 61.91. It traded in a range of 61.77 to 61.93 before settling at 61.80, a rise of 11 paise or 0.18 per cent. Yesterday, the rupee had fallen six paise.
The rupee has lost 681 paise, or 11.02 per cent, during 2013. The year saw the rupee touch an intra—day high of 53.26 on February 2 and a low of 68.85, which was also a lifetime low, on August 28.
The benchmark 30—share S&P BSE Sensex today edged up 27.67 points. Foreign institutional investors bought shares worth USD 20.79 million yesterday, taking the total this year as of December 30 to USD 20.1 billion, according to Sebi data.
The dollar index, which measures the US currency against six major global rivals, was up 0.16 per cent in range—bound trade on the last day of 2013.
"Today rupee appreciated taking cues from local equities which closed on a positive note, but then, after a three—day fall, the dollar index traded strong, which capped the rupee gain," said Pramit Brahmbhatt, CEO of Alpari Financial Services (India). "The currency depreciated by over 11 per cent in 2013, making it one of Asia's worst performers."

can register complaints through the facility
CHENNAI: The Airports Authority of India (AAI) has launched a new toll-free number – 1800-425-6464 – at the Chennai airport for passengers to give suggestions and register complaints. A senior AAI official said the number was launched by AAI Chairman V.P. Agrawal during his visit to the airport in the last week of November.
He had asked AAI officials to test the facility before declaring it officially to passengers. The officials tested the number for nearly a fortnight. An official in the rank of Deputy General Manager has been authorised by the AAI to monitor suggestions/complaints received through the facility. The official said any complaint/suggestion pertaining to the airport could be recorded.
The message would be viewed by the monitoring official on his computer. Immediately, the complaint/suggestion would be passed on to the agency concerned.
If there was a complaint regarding delay in getting baggage at the arrival hall, the same would be forwarded to the airline concerned. The complainant should record his e-mail address.
The monitoring official would send a reply with details of the airline's phone numbers and the name of the contact person.
This is the first time a toll-free number has been launched in AAI-owned airports, the official said.

Recipe by: Pillsbury® Pizza Crust
Original recipe yields 8 servings
Amount per serving ({{servings}} total)
Based on a 2,000 calorie diet
Sort stores by
Ready In
This is one pizza recipe that you need to try! I made it according to the directions...but I put tons of fresh veggies on it too! I loved the stuffed crust and we couldn't stop eating it! Go ahead...MAKE this! You won't be sorry.
Loved this!! Made my own pizza crust and added more toppings almost as good as pizza hut!!
VERY CHEESY!!! If l you like cheese, THIS IS FOR YOU! My sister and I used mozzarella cheese instead of Italian Cheese Blend. Very good! Although the recipe says 8 servings, for me it fed three people. Probably 8 slices, but I will probably make double the recipe next time.

Product description
Now shrouded in Guatemalan jungle, the ancient Maya city of Piedras Negras flourished between the sixth and ninth centuries, when its rulers erected monumental limestone sculptures carved with hieroglyphic texts and images of themselves and family members, advisers, and captives. In "Engaging Ancient Maya Sculpture at Piedras Negras, Guatemala," Megan E. O'Neil offers new ways to understand these stelae, altars, and panels by exploring how ancient Maya people interacted with them.These monuments, considered sacred, were one of the community's important forms of cultural and religious expression. Stelae may have held the essence of rulers they commemorated, and the objects remained loci for reverence of those rulers after they died. Using a variety of evidence, O'Neil examines how the forms, compositions, and contexts of the sculptures invited people to engage with them and the figures they embodied looks at these monuments not as inert bearers of images but as palpable presences that existed in real space at specific historical moments. Her analysis brings to the fore the material and affective force of these powerful objects that were seen, touched, and manipulated in the past.O'Neil investigates the monuments not only at the moment of their creation but also in later years and shows how they changed over time. She argues that the relationships among sculptures of different generations were performed in processions, through which ancient Maya people integrated historical dialogues and ancestral commemoration into the landscape.With the help of more than 160 illustrations, O'Neil reveals these sculptures' continuing life histories, which in the past century have included their fragmentation and transformation into commodities sold on the international art market. Shedding light on modern-day transposition and display of these ancient monuments, O'Neil's study contributes to ongoing discussions of cultural patrimony.

Review quote
"In this fascinating book, Megan O'Neil brings to light the political and ceremonial world of a great Maya kingdom by showing how its inscribed stone monuments were carved, placed, viewed, and read in space and through time. Far from being beautiful but 'dead' objects in museums, these sculptures, as O'Neil demonstrates, were as full of life and divine force as the rulers they represented. A true tour de force of enlightened scholarship!"Michael D. Coe, author of "The Maya" and "Breaking the Maya Code"

A few thoughts: the rack beta posted here's a bit wonky. I think he's trying to say single #2 and 3 when he writes single #1 and 2. We brought a #3 and found it valuable. As far as the climbing, it's a stellar route. I'd read somewhere the word gymnastic used to describe the climbing. Tack committing on and you get the picture. It's killer. Pitch 2 is incredible. Hands down best pitch on the route. Pitch 3 is also really good. My partner stepped right a little early to a finger crack way right. I think this was off route, but had fun climbing. To do it right, stay mostly straight and work up and right near the top of the pitch. Pitches 4 and 5 both felt really hard to me. Harder than the 12a. Come ready to fight. (IMO P5 could use 15 minutes with a wire brush. Definitely still some lichen and granite chiclets hanging on up there-mostly clean where it counts though) |
By hkennedy Jul 6, 2014 |
Hats off to Jens and Max for an awesome route! Steep and wild movement from the bottom to the top. The 5.11+ pitches are just as hard as the 12- pitch. Seems like a double rack from purple TCU to .75 and singles in the #1,#2 is a good rack + set of wires. |

Anybody know if the walkoff is snow free now? |
By blakeherrington Jul 29, 2014 |
For the extra credit verison, you can skip the final two easy pitches and move right after P5 (the overhanging hand traverse to the flake) and climb the crux pitch of the West Face and the final overhanging chimneys on that route. It is also possible to move right after P4 (the first of the .11+ pitches) and climb some 5.11/5.11+ cracks on the right, up through a roof, to reach the belay stance under the crux of the West Face.

Long-ignored freshwater molluscs in Cuba under threat
Jeremy Hancemongabay.com
June 28, 2010

According to the study there are 42 known species of freshwater molluscs. Although the percentage of endemic freshwater molluscs (occurring only in Cuba) is not nearly as high as its land snails, it is still considerable. Ten species are only found in Cuba, or nearly a quarter. Yet the study found that a number of these molluscs are in need of protection.
"With the exception of some highly charismatic species of land snails, such as those of the genus Polymita and Liguus, no other species of molluscs are taken into consideration when selecting a protected area or delimiting its borders," the authors write.
Currently, 24 of Cuba's freshwater molluscs are found in the nation's over 200 protected areas, leaving 18 unprotected. Three of these are only found in Cuba: Nanivitrea alcaldei, Nanivitrea helicoides, and Pachychilus nigratus. In addition, there are already concerns that the Nanivitrea species may have gone extinct.
"Biodiversity conservation and managing are key activities for the health and existence of many ecosystems. However, mammals, birds or reptiles receive most of the attention, leaving molluscs and other taxa in a category that we might call neglected," the authors write.
Molluscs are threatened by loss of habitat, tourism construction, and alien species. A rising population in Cuba means that many water areas, once habitat for molluscs, have been turned to provide water to a thirsty growing population. In addition, invasive species like thiarids snails are linked to some population declines of endemic molluscs by out-competing native species for food.
Saving local molluscs species, according to the authors, could lead to important benefits for Cuban society.
"The preservation of the Cuban endemic freshwater molluscs will not only help to sustain ecosystem functioning, but could also have an important impact on public health. Many of the introduced species of molluscs are usually considered as intermediary hosts of parasites responsible for some tropical diseases. These opportunistic species can establish themselves in disturbed ecosystems, reaching high densities in a short period of time. However, some of the endemic species may serve as biological control agents, which could outcompete the exotic molluscs and prevent their successful establishment if the natural habitat remains unaltered."

The Caribbean's wonderfully weird (and threatened) mammals, an interview with Jose Nunez-Mino
(01/18/2010) Not many people know the solenodon and the hutia, yet for the fortunate few that have encountered them, these strange little-studied mammals—just barely holding on in the Caribbean island of Hispaniola—deserve to be stars of the animal kingdom. "I could not quite believe it the first time I held a solenodon; I was in utter awe of this mesmerizing mammal. […] They have a long flexible snout which is all down to the fact that it is joined to the skull by a unique ball-and-socket joint. This makes it look as if the snout is almost independent to the rest of the animal. You can't help but feel fascinated by the snout and inevitably it does make you smile," Dr. Jose Nunez-Mino, the Project Manager for a new initiative to study and conserve the island's last mammals, told mongabay.com in an interview.

My son is 16 and about 5 feet, 7 inches tall. He keeps asking if there's anything he can do to become taller. - Circe
Taking care of himself — eating well, exercising regularly, and getting plenty of rest — is the best way to help his body reach its natural potential. But assuming his diet is normal and he has no medical problems, there's no magic pill or formula or nutritional supplement for increasing height. In fact, his genes are the major determinant of how tall he'll be.
Most boys finish growing by about age 16. But each person is a little different, so everyone starts and goes through puberty on his or her body's own schedule. Those who start a little later than their friends will usually continue to grow a little later, too.
If you're concerned about your son's growth, talk with his doctor.

DOSSIER February 2006
· The Modena City Ramblers started in 1991 as an Irish folk band. They had no ambition to play concerts for the public; they just wanted to play for their friends and families. The groups name comes from the usual way folk groups name their bands by placing their birthplace before a noun. The musical influences of the ramblers from Modena (the famous Italian hometown of Ferrari cars) stretch from the great musical heritage of Irish and Scottish folk to The Pogues, The Waterboys and Bob Dylan. They soon tried to use these influences to create their own songs, which, by speaking with love and passion, but also rage and militancy, they hoped would reach the hearts of Italian people. Records

The AAMFT Ethics Committee (hereafter, the Committee) has the ability to investigate ethical complaints made against AAMFT members. The complaint process is governed by the AAMFT Procedures for Handling Ethical Matters.
Complaints of unethical conduct must be initiated by someone with personal knowledge of the alleged behavior or by someone in a position to supply relevant reliable testimony or other evidence on the subject. Most of the complaints filed with AAMFT are filed by either current or former clients.
The Committee may also proceed on its own initiative when presented with sufficient allegations. Complaints initiated by the Committee are typically based on publicly available information from regulatory bodies and news sources. Whether initiated by an individual or the Committee, the complaint process is a paper review process.
When a complaint is filed with AAMFT, AAMFT staff review the complaint materials for jurisdiction and completeness. In order for the complaint to be forwarded to the Ethics Committee Chair, complainants must waive therapist-client confidentiality and permit AAMFT to use their name and forward a copy of the allegations to the member, if charged with a violation of the AAMFT Code of Ethics.
Once the Chair receives the complaint materials, the Chair, in consultation with AAMFT's legal and ethics staff, determines whether the allegations, if proven factual, would constitute a violation of the Code. If so, a copy of the complaint materials and a charge letter are sent to the member for a response. If not, the case is closed.
With limited exceptions, when a case is opened based on a complaint that has been filed concurrently with a regulatory body, AAMFT's case will be held in abeyance.
Once all case materials are received, the case will be submitted to the full Committee at its next meeting. The Committee typically meets once annually. Only the full Committee can make a finding that a violation has occurred. If the Committee determines that a violation has occurred, the Committee will recommend an appropriate sanction based on the severity of the violation. In cases where the member has already been disciplined by a regulatory body, the Ethics Committee will presume that the findings of that body are correct and will move on to its discussion of appropriate sanctions.
For lesser violations, the Committee may require the member to take a certain number of continuing education courses or to practice under supervision for a period of time. For more egregious violations, the Committee may recommend the revocation or termination of membership. In cases where membership is terminated with a permanent bar to readmission, that fact will be published in AAMFT's Family Therapy Magazine once the Committee' s decision becomes final.
After the Committee has made its decision, the member will be notified and given the opportunity to appeal the Committee's findings and recommendations to the Judicial Committee. The member must provide a written request for a hearing within 15 days after receiving notice of the Ethics Committee's findings and recommendations. If the member does not appeal within the allotted time, the Ethics Committee's decision becomes final.
The member may choose either an in-person hearing or a written review process. In-person hearings are typically held in Alexandria, VA before a Judicial Committee Panel. During the hearing, the Ethics Committee Chair and the member may be assisted by counsel, present witnesses, cross-examine witnesses and make brief opening and closing statements. The Judicial Committee panel is required to render its decision within 30 days of the hearing. If the member requests a written review process, the member and the Ethics Committee will provide written submissions to a Judicial Committee Panel, which will review the materials and render its decision within 30 days of the review.
A member may make a final appeal to the AAMFT Board of Directors if the member believes that a procedural violation substantially impaired the member's ability to defend against the charges. The Board will review the appeal at its next scheduled meeting and will render a decision within 30 days of the meeting. The Board renders its decision based solely on the member's written statement and the response from the Judicial Committee or AAMFT's legal counsel.
All information obtained by the Ethics Committee and all case proceedings are confidential with limited exceptions. At this time, termination of membership with a permanent bar to readmission is the only sanction that is routinely published in AAMFT's Family Therapy Magazine. In cases that involve a finding of no violation(s) and cases that involve lesser sanctions, typically the only notification is to the member and complainant. The Procedures permit AAMFT to provide a limited report on an ethics case to a regulatory body or another professional association upon request. If such a report is provided, a copy of the report is sent to the member.
To obtain a complaint packet, you can send an email to email@example.com or contact AAMFT by phone at 703-838-9808.
If you are seeing a therapist and you feel that the person is acting unethically, you may be able to file complaint against that person with the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. The first step is to verify if the therapist is a member of AAMFT. You can do this by calling our main number (703-838-9808) and asking the receptionist or by speaking with someone in the Ethics Department.

Clayton News Daily
By Doug Gorman
One of the things I like about my job is writing my weekly column. It gives me a chance to vent, praise those who deserve it, or just comment on a particular happening. Or as is the case this week, write about many issues all wrapped into one editorial. Post-season accolades: There has been a college football pipeline leading from the Southern Crescent for many years. It's always nice to see local players trade their football skills in for a chance to earn a college education. Most recently, two of the area's former high school football standouts were honored with postseason awards when Maryland's senior offensive lineman C.J. Brooks was named to the first team All-ACC football team. The former Morrow standout is completing his college career, but don't be surprised if he plays on Sunday. Willie Copeland is just starting his college career, but already, he's proving to be a great find for the Fort Valley State University Wildcats. Fort Valley was one of the few schools that recruited Copeland as a quarterback and he hasn't disappointed. The former Stockbridge High School quarterback and punter started as a true freshman for the Wildcats and was named the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference's Freshman of the Year. News from the hardwood: I never had any doubt former Jonesboro basketball player Toney Douglas was going to make it in the college game. I wasn't sure the Auburn Tigers' freshman would explode on the scene so fast. However, Douglas not only starts for the Tigers, he is averaging more than 19 points per game. By the time Douglas and his teammates get to the heart of the SEC schedule, Auburn could be dangerous. Coming home: It's been almost 20 years since John Salley helped turn the Georgia Tech basketball team into a national and ACC power. Along with point guard Mark Price and coach Bobby Cremins, Georgia Tech was the best thing happening in the Atlanta sports scene through much of the 1980s. This week, Salley, who's jersey is retired at Tech, will give the graduation address at the fall semester commencement ceremony. Salley has put his Tech degree to good use. After a successful NB A career, Sally is now involved in the entertainment business, including the co-host of a popular show on Fox Sports. Salley should be an inspiration to all young athletes. He has proven there's life after the playing days end and the cheers stop. Good guy award: Georgia football player David Pollock might be one of the most intense football players in the game. Earlier this week, he was rewarded for his hard work as he was named the winner of the Lombardi Award, given to the best lineman in the country Not bad for a guy who was recruited to Georgia as a fullback. Off the field, Pollack seems to be one of the game's good guys. Known for his religious beliefs, Pollack declined to be part of "Playboy" magazine's All-American college football team two years ago, saying it conflicted with his religious beliefs. When he declined, he did it in a way that wasn't judgmental. It just wasn't for him. Pollack is as self-assured as he is talented. It's my guess he is going to have a bright pro career. Talking again: The NHL and players' union is back talking, hoping to salvage some sort of a season. I really like hockey and had high hopes for the Thrashers this year, but I have a question - has anybody really missed it? Doug Gorman is sports editor of the Daily. His column runs on Fridays. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com like this story
- All good things must come to end sometime ( April 9, 2004 )

SABC refuses to show Nando's ad
The SA Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has refused to flight fast food franchise Nando's latest advertisement, which questions xenophobia, because it apparently contravenes regulations.
The Cape Times reported today that the public broadcaster was meant to flight the advert on Thursday night but plugged it because of its "xenophobic undertone".
The SABC told Nando's that the advert violated the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act and the Advertising Standards Authority Act.
The video begins with a few people jumping over a fence at the South African border, followed by a voice-over which says: "You know what's wrong with South Africa? It's all you foreigners."
It then shows locals of different races and cultures disappearing in puffs of smoke.
According to the report, it also shows immigrants such as Chinese, Nigerians, Indians and Europeans vanish.
The only person left, a Khoisan, says: "I'm not going anywhere. You @&*$# [swear word blocked out in advert] found us here."
SABC spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago told the newspaper the advert would incite attacks on foreigners.
"Nando's may say that it is trying to promote diversity but what we are concerned about is that the public might interpret it differently."
