The Triassic is a geologic period and system that extends from about 250 to 200 Ma (million years ago). It is the first period of the Mesozoic Era, and lies between the Permian and Jurassic periods. Both the start and end of the period are marked by major extinction events. The Triassic was named in 1834 by Friedrich Von Alberti, after the three distinct rock layers (tri meaning "three") that are found throughout Germany and northwestern Europe—red beds, capped by chalk, followed by black shales—called the 'Trias.'
The Triassic began in the wake of the Permian–Triassic extinction event, which left the Earth's biosphere impoverished; it would take well into the middle of the period for life to recover its former diversity. Therapsids and archosaurs were the chief terrestrial vertebrates during this time. A specialized subgroup of archosaurs, dinosaurs, first appeared in the mid-Triassic but did not become dominant until the succeeding Jurassic.[4] The first true mammals also evolved during this period, as well as the first flying vertebrates, the pterosaurs. The vast supercontinent of Pangaea existed until the mid-Triassic, after which it began to gradually rift into two separate landmasses, Laurasia to the north and Gondwana to the south. The global climate during the Triassic was mostly hot and dry, with deserts spanning much of Pangaea's interior. However, the climate shifted and became more humid as Pangaea began to drift apart. The end of the period was marked by yet another major mass extinction, wiping out many groups and allowing dinosaurs to assume dominance in the Jurassic.

The Triassic is usually separated into Early, Middle, and Late Triassic Epochs, and the corresponding rocks are referred to as Lower, Middle, or Upper Triassic. The faunal stages from the youngest to oldest are:
Upper/Late Triassic (Tr3) | |
Rhaetian | (203.6 ± 1.5 – 199.6 ± 0.6 Mya) |
Norian | (216.5 ± 2.0 – 203.6 ± 1.5 Mya) |
Carnian | (228.0 ± 2.0 – 216.5 ± 2.0 Mya) |
Middle Triassic (Tr2) | |
Ladinian | (237.0 ± 2.0 – 228.0 ± 2.0 Mya) |
Anisian | (245.0 ± 1.5 – 237.0 ± 2.0 Mya) |
Lower/Early Triassic (Scythian) | |
Olenekian | (249.7 ± 0.7 – 245.0 ± 1.5 Mya) |
Induan | (251.0 ± 0.4 – 249.7 ± 0.7 Mya) |
During the Triassic, almost all the Earth's land mass was concentrated into a single supercontinent centered more or less on the equator, called Pangaea ("all the land"). From the east a vast gulf entered Pangaea, the Tethys sea. It opened farther westward in the mid-Triassic, at the expense of the shrinking Paleo-Tethys Ocean, an ocean that existed during the Paleozoic. The remaining shores were surrounded by the world-ocean known as Panthalassa ("all the sea"). All the deep-ocean sediments laid down during the Triassic have disappeared through subduction of oceanic plates; thus, very little is known of the Triassic open ocean. The supercontinent Pangaea was rifting during the Triassic—especially late in the period—but had not yet separated. The first nonmarine sediments in the rift that marks the initial break-up of Pangaea—which separated New Jersey from Morocco—are of Late Triassic age; in the U.S., these thick sediments comprise the Newark Group.[8] Because of the limited shoreline of one super-continental mass, Triassic marine deposits are globally relatively rare, despite their prominence in Western Europe, where the Triassic was first studied. In North America, for example, marine deposits are limited to a few exposures in the west. Thus Triassic stratigraphy is mostly based on organisms living in lagoons and hypersaline environments, such as Estheria crustaceans.
At the beginning of the Mesozoic Era, Africa was joined with Earth's other continents in Pangaea.[9] Africa shared the supercontinent's relatively uniform fauna which was dominated by theropods, prosauropods and primitive ornithischians by the close of the Triassic period.[9] Late Triassic fossils are found throughout Africa, but are more common in the south than north.[9] The boundary separating the Triassic and Jurassic marks the advent of an extinction event with global impact, although African strata from this time period have not been thoroughly studied.[9]
The Triassic climate was generally hot and dry, forming typical red bed sandstones and evaporites. There is no evidence of glaciation at or near either pole; in fact, the polar regions were apparently moist and temperate, a climate suitable for reptile-like creatures. Pangaea's large size limited the moderating effect of the global ocean; its continental climate was highly seasonal, with very hot summers and cold winters.[10] It probably had strong, cross-equatorial monsoons.[10]
Three categories of organisms can be distinguished in the Triassic record: holdovers from the Permian-Triassic extinction, new groups which flourished briefly, and other new groups which went on to dominate the Mesozoic world.
On land, the holdover plants included the lycophytes, the dominant cycads, ginkgophyta (represented in modern times by Ginkgo biloba) and glossopterids. The spermatophytes, or seed plants came to dominate the terrestrial flora: in the northern hemisphere, conifers flourished. Glossopteris (a seed fern) was the dominant southern hemisphere tree during the Early Triassic period.
In marine environments, new modern types of corals appeared in the Early Triassic, forming small patches of reefs of modest extent compared to the great reef systems of Devonian times or modern reefs. The shelled cephalopods called ammonites recovered, diversifying from a single line that survived the Permian extinction. The fish fauna was remarkably uniform, reflecting the fact that very few families survived the Permian extinction. There were also many types of marine reptiles. These included the Sauropterygia, which featured pachypleurosaurs and nothosaurs (both common during the Middle Triassic, especially in the Tethys region), placodonts, and the first plesiosaurs; the first of the lizardlike Thalattosauria (askeptosaurs); and the highly successful ichthyosaurs, which appeared in Early Triassic seas and soon diversified, some eventually developing to huge size during the late Triassic.
The Permian-Triassic extinction devastated terrestrial life. Biodiversity rebounded with the influx of disaster taxa, however these were short lived. Diverse communities with complex trophic structures took 30 million years to reestablish.[11]
Temnospondyl amphibians were among those groups that survived the Permian-Triassic extinction, some lineages (e.g. trematosaurs) flourishing briefly in the Early Triassic, while others (e.g. capitosaurs) remained successful throughout the whole period, or only came to prominence in the Late Triassic (e.g. plagiosaurs, metoposaurs). As for other amphibians, the first Lissamphibia, characterized by the first frogs, are known from the Early Triassic, but the group as a whole did not become common until the Jurassic, when the temnospondyls had become very rare.
Archosauromorph reptiles—especially archosaurs—progressively replaced the synapsids that had dominated the Permian, although Cynognathus was a characteristic top predator in earlier Triassic (Olenekian and Anisian) Gondwana, and both kannemeyeriid dicynodonts and gomphodont cynodonts remained important herbivores during much of the period. By the end of the Triassic, synapsids played only bit parts. During the Carnian (early part of the Late Triassic), some advanced cynodont gave rise to the first mammals. At the same time the Ornithodira, which until then had been small and insignificant, evolved into pterosaurs and a variety of dinosaurs. The Crurotarsi were the other important archosaur clade, and during the Late Triassic these also reached the height of their diversity, with various groups including the phytosaurs, aetosaurs, several distinct lineages of Rauisuchia, and the first crocodylians (the Sphenosuchia). Meanwhile the stocky herbivorous rhynchosaurs and the small to medium-sized insectivorous or piscivorous Prolacertiformes were important basal archosauromorph groups throughout most of the Triassic.
Among other reptiles, the earliest turtles, like Proganochelys and Proterochersis, appeared during the Norian (middle of the Late Triassic). The Lepidosauromorpha—specifically the Sphenodontia—are first known in the fossil record a little earlier (during the Carnian). The Procolophonidae were an important group of small lizard-like herbivores.
Archosaurs were initially rarer than the therapsids which had dominated Permian terrestrial ecosystems, but they began to displace therapsids in the mid-Triassic.[12] This "Triassic Takeover" may have contributed to the evolution of mammals by forcing the surviving therapsids and their mammaliform successors to live as small, mainly nocturnal insectivores; nocturnal life probably forced at least the mammaliforms to develop fur and higher metabolic rates.[13]
Lystrosaurus was the most common land vertebrate during the Early Triassic, when animal life had been greatly diminished.
Reconstruction of Proterosuchus, a genus of crocodile-like carnivorous reptile that existed in the Early Triassic.
Cynognathus was a mammal-like cynodont from the early Triassic. The first true mammals evolved during this period.
Coelophysis, one of the first dinosaurs, appeared in the mid-Triassic.
Plateosaurus was an early sauropodomorph, or "prosauropod", of the late Triassic.
At the start of the Triassic period coal is noticeable by geologists today as being absent throughout the world. This is known as the "coal gap" and can be seen as part of the Permian–Triassic extinction event.[6] Sharp drops in sea level across the Permo Triassic boundary may be the proper explanation for the coal gap. However, theories are still speculative as to why it is missing.[14] During the preceding Permian period the arid desert conditions contributed to the evaporation of many inland seas and the inundation of these seas, perhaps by a number of tsunami events that may have been responsible for the drop in sea level.[15] This due to the finding of large salt basins in the southwest United States and a very large basin in central Canada.[16]
Immediately above the boundary the glossopteris flora was suddenly[17] largely displaced by an Australia wide coniferous flora containing few species and containing a lycopod herbaceous under story. Conifers also became common in Eurasia. These groups of conifers arose from endemic species because of the ocean barriers that prevented seed crossing for over one hundred million years. For instance, Podocarpis was located south and Pines, Junipers, and Sequoias were located north. The dividing line ran through the Amazon Valley, across the Sahara, and north of Arabia, India, Thailand, and Australia.[18][19] It has been suggested that there was a climate barrier for the conifers.[20] although water barriers are more plausible. If so, something that can cross at least short water barriers must have been involved in producing the coal hiatus. Hot climate could have been an important auxiliary factor across Antarctica or the Bering Strait, however. There was a spike of fern and lycopod spores immediately after the close of the Permian.[21] In addition there was also a spike of fungal spores immediately after the Permian-Triassic boundary.[22] This spike may have lasted 50,000 years in Italy and 200,000 years in China and must have contributed to the climate warmth.
An event excluding a catastrophe must have been involved to cause the coal hiatus due to the fact that fungi would have removed all dead vegetation and coal forming detritus in a few decades in most tropical places. In addition, fungal spores rose gradually and declined similarly along with a prevalence of woody debris. Each phenomenon would hint at widespread vegetative death. Whatever the cause of the coal hiatus must have started in North America approximately 25 million years sooner.[23]
The Monte San Giorgio lagerstätte, now in the Lake Lugano region of northern Italy and Switzerland, was in Triassic times a lagoon behind reefs with an anoxic bottom layer, so there were no scavengers and little turbulence to disturb fossilization, a situation that can be compared to the better-known Jurassic Solnhofen limestone lagerstätte. The remains of fish and various marine reptiles (including the common pachypleurosaur Neusticosaurus, and the bizarre long-necked archosauromorph Tanystropheus), along with some terrestrial forms like Ticinosuchus and Macrocnemus, have been recovered from this locality. All these fossils date from the Anisian/Ladinian transition (about 237 million years ago).
The Triassic period ended with a mass extinction, which was particularly severe in the oceans; the conodonts disappeared, and all the marine reptiles except ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs. Invertebrates like brachiopods, gastropods, and molluscs were severely affected. In the oceans, 22% of marine families and possibly about half of marine genera went missing according to University of Chicago paleontologist Jack Sepkoski.
Though the end-Triassic extinction event was not equally devastating everywhere in terrestrial ecosystems, several important clades of crurotarsans (large archosaurian reptiles previously grouped together as the thecodonts) disappeared, as did most of the large labyrinthodont amphibians, groups of small reptiles, and some synapsids (except for the proto-mammals). Some of the early, primitive dinosaurs also went extinct, but other more adaptive dinosaurs survived to evolve in the Jurassic. Surviving plants that went on to dominate the Mesozoic world included modern conifers and cycadeoids.
What caused this Late Triassic extinction is not known with certainty. It was accompanied by huge volcanic eruptions that occurred as the supercontinent Pangaea began to break apart about 202 to 191 million years ago [(40Ar/39Ar dates[24])], forming the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province [(CAMP)],[25] one of the largest known inland volcanic events since the planet cooled and stabilized. Other possible but less likely causes for the extinction events include global cooling or even a bolide impact, for which an impact crater containing Manicouagan Reservoir in Quebec, Canada, has been singled out. At the Manicouagan impact crater, however, recent research has shown that the impact melt within the crater has an age of 214±1 Mya. The date of the Triassic-Jurassic boundary has also been more accurately fixed recently, at 201.58±0.28 Mya. Both dates are gaining accuracy by using more accurate forms of radiometric dating, in particular the decay of uranium to lead in zircons formed at the impact. So the evidence suggests the Manicouagan impact preceded the end of the Triassic by approximately 10±2 Ma. Therefore it could not be the immediate cause of the observed mass extinction.[26]
The number of Late Triassic extinctions is disputed. Some studies suggest that there are at least two periods of extinction towards the end of the Triassic, between 12 and 17 million years apart. But arguing against this is a recent study of North American faunas. In the Petrified Forest of northeast Arizona there is a unique sequence of latest Carnian-early Norian terrestrial sediments. An analysis in 2002 found no significant change in the paleoenvironment.[27] Phytosaurs, the most common fossils there, experienced a change-over only at the genus level, and the number of species remained the same. Some aetosaurs, the next most common tetrapods, and early dinosaurs, passed through unchanged. However, both phytosaurs and aetosaurs were among the groups of archosaur reptiles completely wiped out by the end-Triassic extinction event.
It seems likely then that there was some sort of end-Carnian extinction, when several herbivorous archosauromorph groups died out, while the large herbivorous therapsids— the kannemeyeriid dicynodonts and the traversodont cynodonts— were much reduced in the northern half of Pangaea (Laurasia).
These extinctions within the Triassic and at its end allowed the dinosaurs to expand into many niches that had become unoccupied. Dinosaurs became increasingly dominant, abundant and diverse, and remained that way for the next 150 million years. The true "Age of Dinosaurs" is the Jurassic and Cretaceous, rather than the Triassic.

Your live fish may not match the image shown due to natural variations in each species. Each companion animal is different in shape, color, and personality.
Also known as the Clark's Anemonefish or Clark's Clownfish.
The Clarkii Clownfish is a shy and hardy fish that can be a great aquatic pet for both beginner and experienced aquarists. This little fish will spend much of its time lingering behind rocks and coral. When it wants food, it will dart out into the open, delighting viewers with its mixed colors and wobbly swim. If you want a wonderful new member for your marine aquarium, clownfish for sale like the Clarkii are a great option.
The juvenile Clarkii Clownfish has orange-yellow coloring with large white stripes across the body. As the juvenile matures, its base color darkens to a reddish-brown. The white stripes seem even more distinguished against the darker shades of the adult.
There are many reasons to purchase clownfish like the Clarkii. This clownfish is hardy and can live happily in a medium-sized tank. These features make the Clarkii Clownfish a great option for beginning marine aquarists. Another reason to purchase clownfish is because they are a delight to watch. Even though the clownfish will spend a lot of time in hiding, it will dart out on occasion. You'll notice that your clownfish swims with a funny, wobbly movement.
Before you purchase clownfish, make sure to prepare your aquarium. Clownfish need areas to hide, so consider adding live rock or coral. Experienced aquarists may want to consider adding a host anemone that is compatible with the Clarkii. This particular clownfish for sale is territorial towards its own and similar species, so take care in building your underwater community.
This clownfish for sale is tank bred. Getting a tank bred fish is a great way to enjoy a beautiful and fun aquatic pet while supporting the wild population of clownfish.

DU replaces water control structure at ND refuge
UPHAM, N.D., Nov. 23, 2009 – Running water is the Earth's most effective erosion agent. Building a water control structure to stand up to it can be tricky. Ducks Unlimited just completed a new structure at the J.Clark Salyer National Wildlife Refuge in north-central North Dakota to replace dams that have eroded over time. The box culverts will improve water level management on the 350-acre Rubble Masonry Wetland Unit near Upham.
"The current dam was not functioning," said Roger Smith, DU director of engineering for the Great Plains Regional Office. "The new structure will better manage the erosion factors with the types of soils in the area."
With funding from U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, DU replaced the steel structure on the wetland's outlet with large box culverts that have variable level water control capabilities.
The project also includes opening large, dense stands of cattail with deeper water and maintaining early stages of aquatic plant succession in the unit. Periodic water draw-downs and water level manipulation will allow managers to maintain an ideal distribution of open water and vegetation throughout the wetland.
J. Clark Salyer is the largest wildlife refuge in North Dakota at 58,700 acres. More than 300 species of birds have been observed at the refuge since it was first established.
"The wetlands on the J.Clark Salyer refuge provide important migration and breeding habitat for waterfowl," said Rick Warhurst, DU manager of conservation programs for North Dakota. "The habitat is vital to the nearly 125 species of birds that nest there, including mallards, blue-winged teal, redheads, gadwalls, northern pintails and Canada geese."
Ducks Unlimited is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to conserving North America's continually disappearing waterfowl habitats. Established in 1937, Ducks Unlimited has conserved nearly 13 million acres thanks to contributions from more than a million supporters across the continent. Guided by science and dedicated to program efficiency, DU works toward the vision of wetlands sufficient to fill the skies with waterfowl today, tomorrow and forever.

Kjell Nordeson: solo percussion in Barrio Logan
Robert Bush 9 a.m., April 26
Dave Mustaine: Guitar (electric), Vocals
Genre: Metal | Hardcore
RIYL: Metallica, Megadeth
No shows scheduled | Post a show | View show history
Influences: Megadeth, Metallica
Megadeth founder Dave Mustaine was born September 13, 1961, at Grossmont Hospital in San Diego. His parents split when he was young and his mom raised him as a Jehova's Witness. He left her La Mesa home as a teen.
In 1981, he quit his first band Panic to become Metallica's original lead guitarist, before getting replaced by Kirk Hammett in 1983. Mustaine moved to Rolling Hills Estates in Fallbrook in late 2004, along with his wife Pamela, their kids, and their horses.
In Summer 2005, Mustaine told KNAC's Philthy Phil that he won't perform certain songs now that he's embraced Christianity. "The ones that I did that I'm not doing anymore that to me are just wrong [include] the Sex Pistols' 'Anarchy,' 'cause it says, 'I'm an anti-Christ.' I'm not really anti anybody, so I had to kind of take a look at that." Regarding his status as the only permanent player in the band he calls Megadeth, Mustaine said, "I think the people are aware; when I left Metallica and came home on a bus, I did not stop off and pick up a bass player. I went home and started it on my own."
Mustaine's Gigantour -- with Megadeth, Dream Theater, and others -- experienced booking problems in 2005. Several venues, including SDSU's Open Air Amphitheatre, couldn't accommodate the show's second stage, and promised bands (such as Symphony X, Dry Kill Logic) couldn't play. Mustaine posted on his website, "We're working on the problems," but the snafu was never explained.
Besides San Diego, fans in San Antonio, Cincinnati, and Boston missed out on a second stage. Billboard's attendance figures indicate that promoters sold 2228 seats of 4598 available for the 2005 tour's San Diego stop.
Gigantour's second edition launched in September, 2006, with Megadeth, Lamb of God, Opeth, Arch Enemy, Overkill, and others sharing the bill. The tour was sponsored by Microsoft's game "Gears of War," the name of a song on Megadeth's subsequent album.
Mustaine filed a petition for divorce in San Diego Superior Court in 2006, seeking dissolution of his marriage to Pamela Anne Casselberry, whom he wed in April 1991 before the couple moved into their $1.2 million house in Fallbrook's Rolling Hills Estates.
The couple had a son in 1992 (Justis David), a daughter in 1998 (Electra Nicole), and another son in 2002 (Victor Gar). Victor Gar was named after Megadeth mascot Vic Rattlehead and former band drummer Gar Samuelsson, who died in 1998. Justis plays guitar and has appeared in several local theatrical productions, including one in which he played Elvis Presley.
Megadeth's DVD Blood in the Water: Live in San Diego, filmed in May 2008 at Cox Arena, premiered on HDNet television in early November '08.
The recording process for Megadeth's twelfth studio album began on January 7, 2009, at the band's own Vic's Garage studio in San Marcos. Released by Roadrunner Records and produced by Andy Sneap (Sabbat), it's the group's first with album guitarist Chris Broderick, who replaced Glen Drover at the end of 2007.
In early 2011, Mustaine and former Anthrax guitarist Dan Spitz began making an album together. Mustaine revealed the news to New Zealand's 3news.co.nz and said that Spitz invited him to work on the record, which will be released under the moniker Deuxmonkey. Mustaine said the album sounds like Soundgarden, Disturbed, and Rage Against the Machine.
In early summer 2011, Mustaine said "I've got the dubious honour of managing a band called Baptized in Blood, and my manager and I are managing Testament." Mustaine told Rock News Desk while hinting of his upcoming retirement from Megadeth, "We're doing some other things outside the scope of playing music so, once I hang up my guitar, I'm still going to be very much involved."
On December 10, 2011, Mustaine jammed with Metallica on five songs at the Fillmore in San Francisco. "I wish I would have had a little bit more opportunity to get prepared with the band," he told Powerline. "You know, because I'm a perfectionist. I would have liked to have had my sound just so and make sure when I did the solos they would jump up the volume and stuff like that that I'm used to, but we were at a club and playing at a club and playing like a club band. It was fun to take off all the rules and regulations and stuff and kind of shoot from the hip."
Then his March 30, 2012 X-ray results came in, after undergoing surgery for stenosis, a neck and spine condition that he says was caused by years of headbanging. "Totally fused," he tweeted, "and I can FINALLY start exercising. Thank God, and thanks for your prayers."
His signature Dean double-neck guitar went into full production in 2013, limited to 75 copies with double-necks combining a 12-string and 6-string electric guitar. He closed his San Diego recording studio Vic's Garage shortly after Megadeth finished recording their next full-length Super Collider.
The 2013 edition of his Gigantour featured Megadeth, Black Label Society, Device, Hellyeah, Newsted, and Death Division, kicking off on July 3 in Gilford, NH and concluding August 11 in Toronto. Before hitting the road, Mustaine teamed up with pop jazzster Kenny G for a Funny Or Die video spoofing ads by retailer Men's Wearhouse, which had recently earned headlines for firing their founder-turned-TV-spokesman. The vid features Mustaine narrating the story of a young metal fan preparing for a job interview at Megadeth Wearhouse.
Mustaine did a series of Guitar Center appearances while the band toured in support of its album Super Collider, hosting meet-and-greets and autograph signings at Center locations in cities including Dallas, Oklahoma City, and Brookfield, WI. The Megadeth frontman was also the guest on the 150th episode of the Wikimetal podcast, now streaming online. Mustaine spoke about his composition process, the aggressiveness in his life and music, highlights of his career, and future projects now that he's closed his San Marcos recording studio.
Before his April 12, 2014 appearance with the San Diego Symphony, Mustaine told Blabbermouth that "Dean Guitars has made a unique guitar for me that looks like a copy of a Stradivarius violin that had a baby flying V, and it's an amazing guitar." The program included Wagner's "Ride Of The Valkyries" from Die Walküre, Vivaldi's "Winter" from The Four Seasons, and Dvorak's "Symphony No. 9" (the New World symphony).
His appearance with the Symphony was promoted with a new Symphony Interrupted Cabernet Sauvignon wine, the debut limited-edition release from Mustaine Vineyards of Fallbrook.
He performed an impromptu three-song acoustic set with Megadeth members at the Hard Rock Cafe in Istanbul, Turkey on August 4, 2014, following their appearance at the city's Rock OFF Festival, playing unplugged versions of "She Wolf," "A Tout Le Monde," and "Symphony Of Destruction."
Shortly thereafter, however, Megadeth cancelled their involvement in Motorhead's Motorboat cruise after frontman Dave Mustaine was told by his doctor to cancel all performances for the next two months, due to complications arising from a previous cervical spine surgery.
In October 2014, local authorities announced that the Mustaine's mother-in-law, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, had gone missing, with a search underway throughout San Diego county. Her body was found in late November, on a nearby trail where she'd apparently wandered and died.

Owen Hunt isn't like the other touchy-feely male doctors that populate Seattle Grace. After working for many years in the U.S. Army, the ruggedly handsome Owen impressed Cristina Yang by performing a tracheotomy with a ballpoint pen. Sparks flew, and the two have been together — on and off — ever since. No, it hasn't been the smoothest of rides: Owen's post-traumatic stress disorder, which stems from his intense experiences in Iraq, causes him to accidentally strangle Cristina in his sleep. Whoops! Their relationship was further complicated by the arrival of cardiothoracic surgeon Teddy Altman, Owen's former best friend who wanted to me more than just his friend. Tortured as he may be, Owen continued to recover from his PTSD through his sessions with hospital psychologist Dr. Wyatt, and he and Cristina managed to work it out enough to get married. Now if only they could agree on the baby issue...

Feist Goes Global: A Comparative Analysis Of The Notion Of Originality In Copyright LawDaniel J. GervaisVanderbilt University - Law School Journal of the Copyright Society of the U.S.A., Vol. 49, p. 949, Summer 2002 Abstract: The 1991 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service Company, Inc. delivered was hailed both as a landmark decision and a legal bomb. Was Feist so original as to deserve all the attention? After all, it did not establish a new originality paradigm as such but only ended a long division among federal circuits concerning the protection under copyright of factual compilations. A number of circuits had adopted a test similar to the one articulated in Feist (i.e., based on creative selection), while others required only evidence of labor, a test known as sweat of the brow. In reality, Feist did much more than resolve a definitional tension: it determined that there was a constitutional requirement of creativity. According to the U.S. database industry, the sky had fallen: factual compilations would no longer be protected and without adequate protection, investments necessary for the creation and maintenance of databases would dry up. That did not happen, even though debates concerning a federal tort of misappropriation continue.

COLUMBIA — Two people were arrested late Monday night for possession of handguns and drug paraphernalia.
Boone County deputies stopped a car around 11:50 p.m. near the intersection of Clark Lane and U.S. 63 and recognized the driver as a frequent offender with a revoked driver's license, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Department.
When deputies approached the driver, Lester M. Johnson, 35, they knew he was on parole and that his driver's license was revoked, the news release said. Deputies also smelled marijuana and noticed that he was carrying an empty handgun holster.
Police searched the car and the two occupants and found two loaded handguns — one under each front seat — methamphetamine, marijuana, drug packaging material, drug paraphernalia, electronic scales and about $1,000 in cash, according to the news release.
Johnson was arrested on suspicion of distribution of a controlled substance, unlawful possession of a firearm and driving while suspended.
Stephanie M. Botts, 27, was also in the car and arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia.
Supervising editor is Stephanie Ebbs.

Lies. What would we do without them? Our lives are unmistakably entwined with lies, be it the ones we innocently say to please others, the ones that will get us out of a sticky situation or the ones that will get us what we want. Wanna explore the refinement of this art? Welcome to the wonderful world of lies.
Snake along
And it is already this time of the year again. A never ending circle. Like a snake, which we celebrate this year.

The Use of Rape as a Weapon of War in Darfur, Sudan
October 2004
Read the report (pdf)In the conflict in Darfur, tens of thousands of civilians have been systematically killed, raped, and starved. PHR performed extensive interviews and qualitatively assessed the nature, circumstances and context of rape as a weapon in the nation's on-going war. This report was prepared for the U.S. Agency for International Development/OTI published through the Program on Humanitarian Crises and Human Rights, of the François-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights at the Harvard School of Public Health, with help from PHR.

FMT LETTER: From Ravinder Singh, via e-mail
ItŌĆÖs a shame that Koh Tsu Koon, Minister in the Prime MinisterŌĆÖs Department and President of Gerakan, has seen it fit to bend backwards to support what he calls ŌĆ£private screeningŌĆØ of ŌĆ£Tanda PutraŌĆØ.
While it is understandable that KTK has to support the ruling partyŌĆÖs efforts to win big, it is unacceptable of a statesman to justify the screening of a racist film to brainwash the viewers made up of one particular race while the film depicts a different race negatively. This is totally at variance with the much hyped about 1Malaysia and racial unity that KTK himself subscribes to. Is this a way to promote harmony among the various ethnic groups in Malaysia?
He reasons that what the Cabinet had banned was the ŌĆ£public screeningŌĆØ of the film and therefore there is no ban on its ŌĆ£private screeningŌĆØ! Good polemics, might be, but childish.
When you gather 3,000 Felda settlers, or hundreds of students at a university, who are concurrently also members of the public and voters, in a hall, and screen the film to them, how does it become a ŌĆ£private screeningŌĆØ? Is it because they are all of one ethnic group?┬Ā KTK would have been more correct to say that there is no ban on screening the film to audiences of a particular ethnic group.
It is not the fault of the audiences, but of those who get them together behind locked doors and screen the film to them. Thus they are forced to view the film, even enticed to do so as in the case of the university students who were given certain points for watching the film. Could KTK please tell us why students of other ethnic backgrounds could not see the film and earn some points as well? Could KTK please rationalise why ŌĆ£private screeningsŌĆØ to non-Malays are not allowed?
Why does he not arrange a ŌĆ£private screeningŌĆØ of the film to his Gerakan members of different ethnic backgrounds? If the requirement is that it must be done behind locked doors, it should be no problem for Gerakan, or any other party, political or otherwise, to screen it.
KTK has chosen to turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to the essence of the complaints against the screening of this film. The essence is that this racially biased film is being screened to voters of one particular race, i.e. Malays, while the film depicts the Chinese in a negative way.
KTKŌĆÖs argument that the screening of the film has not caused any racial breakouts is atrocious to say the least. Does he not believe that prevention is better than cure? Does he not know that films can have a powerful impact on peopleŌĆÖs emotions? So he needs to wait for proof in the form of racial violence before acknowledging the worst scenario that could happen if peopleŌĆÖs racial emotions are fired-up? This is a very reckless defence of the racist film.
This film did not come about by accident and neither is it a work of ŌĆ£creative licenceŌĆØ as claimed by its director. Creative licence does not mean it is fair game to pit one race against another in a multi-racial society contrary to the governmentŌĆÖs stated policy of creating 1Malaysia where all the people of different races and religions live in harmony.
From the days of MahathirŌĆÖs rule, it had become standard practice to screen ŌĆ£Bukit KepongŌĆØ before every general election. As a result of the 2008 tsunami, the stale Bukit Kepong had to be replaced with something ŌĆśbetterŌĆÖ. ThatŌĆÖs how the idea of ŌĆ£Tanda PutraŌĆØ must have got mooted. The making of this new film was therefore to replace the stale ŌĆ£Bukit KepongŌĆØ and was to be a part of the ŌĆ£at all costsŌĆØ campaign to regain the two-thirds majority.
It is extremely sad that a government that openly and loudly tells the world about its 1Malaysia that is founded on racial harmony, should have had a hand in the making of this film through Finas and MDEC at a cost of RM4.8m to the taxpayers, and now its screening despite the CabinetŌĆÖs decision that it should not be screened to ŌĆ£the publicŌĆØ, meaning the population at large.
It smacks of how the Education Ministry had not very long ago tried to belittle the Indians by making the book Interlok┬Ā (which used a derogatory word to describe them) a compulsory literature text for students in Form 5. Very subtle way of driving wedges between people of different ethnic origins.
When will all this religious and racial bigotry end for the sake of 1Malaysia? Why is Najib┬Ā so helpless? Should he not stand firm to ensure that his 1Malaysia is a success and not a mere slogan?

My Russian neighbors get on my nerves sometimes. One time their stupid dog walked into our house when I had the back door open. For that, I am recommending 20mm shells. or 12 gauge extended mag pump shotgun with bird shot. Hit somebody in the face with that, and they will leave you alone.
When all else fails.
.600 nitro express with the heaviest loads you can get. Just kidding. It all depends on your firearms preference, your resources, and your home. If you have no worries of over penetration, go with 12 gauge 00 buck if you want. If you need one-shot-stops without the risk of over penetration, go with a good handgun with self defense/home defense ammo (glaser safety slug, Hornady ballistic tips, etc.) It all depends on you.

How To Fix A Hydro-Locked Lawnmower
People Who Liked This Video Also Liked
Did this video help you?
anniversary4: Can a lawn tractor hydro-lock with gas? My Craftsman with Briggs 18HP
single cylinder Intek seems to be. It was really hard turning over so I
removed spark plug thinking it may need valve adjustment (learned that
tidbit from another one of your videos. When I tried turning it over with
plug removed lots of gas came out of plug hole. Looks like I may have
messed up rebuilding the Nikki carb. Briggs manual for that engine shows
both a Walbro and a Nikki carb. Some people say that the Nikki carb is
sensitive. Do you think I can or should switch to the Walbro? Daniel Robert: Yeah but, holy smoke, what's your secret for maintaining somekind of a relationship with your neigbours ? Jake Roll: I am thinking about buying a Robin Subaru horizontal shaft 7 horsepower with idle control came off of a power washer and the guy said it was hydro loching is there a way to fix it. I need to know if it's safe to buy if it's easy to fix? alex pencek: Thanks for helping me with my hydro locked mower Christian Hack: Love your channel, really really helpful, I'm trying to learn about lawn mower repairs and found your channel a while ago after watching mowerman. Please can you help? Could this problem still exist after I've cleaned all the piston heads? Thanks for your help and I really appreciate your videos, please keep them coming. tom k: Thank you Dony. I overfilled my chipper with oil. I found your video, removed the spark plug and the oil came pouring out. Was able to start and am now back in business. Outstanding! Cody Jv: Flooding carb can do the same thing, but isn't always as obvious. Antonio Tinson: Thanks for the video...I have the same problem with one of my mowers..but its a Kawasaki motor ..wanted to know where yet were located so you could take a look Trenton Sanders: thanks this can be a help to people one time my friend had a hydro locked lawn mower and he got rid of it thinking the engine was blown TReaD113: At least the cylinder is well lubricated Jake Roll: hi its me again here is the engine with the problem I was talking about. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Subaru-Robin-7-0-HP-Pressure-Washer-Engine-/151470131675?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item234452c9db Stephen Tomaszewicz: Emptied all the oil out of my mower. pulled the flywheel, opened the chamber below the flywheel for the excess oil. and cleaned and dried it all. also took the head off and cleaned it. put it all together. started it up. and as it ran, it was smooth at start.. then slowely began to slow down then speed up and when I shut it down. it started smoking. it also seem a little harder to pull like a hydro lock. I thought it might lead to a hydro lock so stopped it. any ideas? it is a craftsman 6.5 hp eager it was clanking before, but now I think it is fine. I think the blade was loose and or the flywheel before. it sounded great until it started oscilating and smoking. Ideas? donutcasual: pollution. yum yum. Anyways thanks Bradley Reaume: Okay, I don't know who you are, but I just used your video to fix my "hydro-locked" power washer in about 23 minutes, so as far as I'm concerned, you Sir are a f&(%!ng genius! THANK YOU!!! Gilbert Cruz: Is it possible to "hydrolock" the engine between piston and crankcase (i.e. too much oil added to engine) and would oil viscosity be a culprit? I recently worked on a Craftsman Tiller 208 cc, front tines, that had gas in the oil and was coming out the muffler and was also hydrolocking at times when pulling rope. I checked the carb for sticking needle/float, checked ok, then I drained and changed the oil (I used 5W-30 instead of 10W-30). When I tested engine it worked fine but when I tested engine the next day the rope was hard to pull at times but would eventually turn motor over and start. So, why would the engine be hard to turn? Maybe a too much oil. (By the way, specs call for 20 oz. of oil. I added an extra ounce or two.) What can you tell me? Bumpkin PiEm: Thank you for the great video, donyboy. I have a question: Mamma has a husqvarna self - propelled push mower, and I tried to start it yesterday. The pull rope at first pulled fine- it didn't start, as I pulled a few more times, the rope got harder and harder to pull, till I seriously could barely pull it - over about 4 more pulls. Mamma said the other day when my sis was using it to mow her lawn. it got hot then she could not start it again. Then, later, Mamma got it started but it wouldn't remain running. It has fresh non-ethanol ethyl in it- its all we ever run in our lawn and garden tools. Oil is dark but adequate amount. Is this video above (hydrolocked mower), the right one for me? I watched it and I will try it, but I didnt notice any oil- (knowing Mamma she would wipe it up, however) IF you can think of anything else, please let me know. I will be working on Mammas mower tomorrow. Thank you for your kind help! lovangels55: Thanks for that info, it saved me from taking my mower to a shop. Wayne Roberts: Thank you! kenny sylvia: Hi how are you I have a 5.5 walk behind briggs stratton. Pull coil issues my uncle gave to me started it at his house came back to my house couple pulls and it locked up I broke everything down and pull coil off the machine works fine I put i all back got about a dozen pull on it and it locks up on me once mower hope to here from u soon have a great week end gsx8ualive801: Thanks for this video. I couldn't get my mower started today and knew for sure this was why when I watched this. Its running great now. steelyeyedmissileman: Bet you were popular with the neighbours!! Joey Mayfield: wow that really works got my mover fixed by doing that THANKS Ken Burke: Just fixed my lawnmower thx to your video! Thank you! William Ross: Good work, good video. Reaz Mohammed: Good info, thanks for the tips there always appreciated. 6foot4 butre: You shouldn't put starter fluid in an engine that's low on oil and has excessive blowby. that's just asking for trouble. 57Spanky: I have a motor that I rebuilt the carb on and it started up fine but had a bad skip in it. I noticed before I started it that the oil was just below the add mark so I added some oil and brought it up to full level. I tried to start it again and nothing. I looked at the carburetor and saw gas coming out, like the float was stuck. I pinched off the gas line with some locking pliers and kept trying to start it. On about the 8th pull the motor began to tighten up and then one pull later it locked up. I pulled the spark plug and tried it but it wont budge. Any ideas? Tyler Gideon: Thanks for the upload same problem with my pressure washer. Save me my sanity tony macdonald: I've come a cross this now I know watt wrong and watt to do thanks your just the top at watt you do Donny. Mrjakepowers29: Thanks a lot. I knew it was not the spring. So kept Searching you tube and found your video. I have same lawnmower and has oil coming out of muffler. Saved me a lot of time and aggravation. Scooter George: Shouldn't you check the oil level in the crankcase before attempting to start the engine? That's where the oil in the cylinder/combustion chamber came from. Otherwise, your advise seems sound. Maybe a bit heavy on the starting fluid though... Shanker Kana: you are awesome! I just had the same problem! lawnside82: ..and who or why would someone store a lawnmower up like that?? Destin Games: Thanks Jim Pierce: cool Chris Deziel: Great video. Very clear and helpful! krishan Bali: help lugo small engines: for some reason fixing a hydrolocked motor is fun I guess cause its easy jason fisher: I hope the epa doesn't c this video lol. krishan Bali: my dirt bike dose not start because the pull cored is stuck anniversary4: Once again Don I love your entire video series! Thanks for a great service that you provide. Can this hydro-lock problem be caused by overfilling the oil? batchnerd: I actually got a mower from someone. They said that they could not start it, but we have a better one so you can have it. It needed gas... I tipped it up like that it was hard to pull, but still started, smoked like crazy though. I guess you can count on your briggs and stratton. donyboy73: is it OHV donyboy73: @Nickster7ROR yes use a horizontal crankshaft for a go-kart twostinkyfingers: Update: Engines turns without spark plug but with it in, the engine doesn't turn. Paraglidermx: Could fill with gas and hydro lock also,,bad needle valve in carb..have to remove bowl to get to it. Ross Cowan: Well I'm confused. I tried your "fix" on my mower, didn't work. You stated my crankcase may still be overfilled even though the dipstick showed oil level to be between add and full. So I decided to drain all the oil, guess what too much oil. I refilled oil to proper spec and the mower now operates as it should. Thanks for the tip, I owe you as I was ready to throw this mower OUT! Thanks again. donyboy73: @D12caterpillar it might help the oil get out faster jason bell: do u have a video or can u make a video on how too remove a gas tank on an 89 briggs and clean out the gas tank properly twostinkyfingers: Trying this out in a few minutes need to get some quick start, but my question is do you shut the gas off when starting it with no spark plug? Also watched your carburetor change guide. Thanks. |
How To Fix a Hydro-Locked Lawnmower

The third quarter had just expired Saturday, and his Hampton Crabbers led by four touchdowns. But one of Mike Smith's offensive linemen had whiffed on a block, and the "old geezer" of a head coach was not pleased.
"I'm gonna hit you in the mouth," Smith growled as Monte Haney came to the sideline. "You gotta hit the linebacker."
Smith tapped Haney on the helmet with his laminated game plan, walked away and cracked that trademark devilish grin.
Think Mike Smith has lost his fastball? Figure that at age 67 he's plotting retirement and Kumbaya moments with Bill Dee and the Peninsula Football Officials Association?
Anyone who watched the Crabbers give Smith his 400th coaching victory Saturday knows better.
The final at Darling Stadium was 35-0. The victim was Indian River in the opening round of the Eastern Region Division 5 playoffs.
How fitting on three counts.
First, the shutout. If nothing else, Smith's 38 seasons as Hampton's big whistle have been about defense, and this marked his 173rd shutout.
Noodle that for a moment. In nearly half of his victories, the opponent didn't scratch.
Second, the playoff stage. Smith's teams have won 12 state championships and are 67-20 in postseason, when teams and coaches prove their mettle.
Third, the elements. Rain fell throughout the first 21/2 quarters, creating the swampy conditions old-school coaches relish. But then the sun emerged, a reminder that Smith can be as mercurial as the weather.
Consider his outburst late in the second quarter. Puzzled by a holding penalty, he asked — politely, of course (wink, wink) — line judge Tyrone Goodwyn the number of the offending player. Goodwyn declined.
Next thing you knew, Smith and assistant coach Danny Mitchell were barking at Goodwyn, who flagged Smith for unsportsmanlike conduct and raised an arm as if to eject him. Turns out he was just ordering Smith to back off the field.
Can you imagine Smith getting pitched from his 400th? We joked in the press box that since he hadn't completed half the game, Mitchell would get credit for the victory and that Smith would be stuck at 399.
"I wish it was 200," Smith said, "and I was young enough to win 200 more. All 400 means is you're an old geezer."
Old, perhaps. Geezer, no way.
He's not the early riser of his prime, and not as quick with names. But he still revels in the competition and teaching.
His 400 wins rank seventh all-time, fifth among active coaches. His .870 winning percentage (400-59-2) towers over record-holder John McKissick, who in 57 seasons at Summerville High in South Carolina is 565-132-13 (.805).
"He's toned down a little bit," assistant coach and former Hampton linebacker Myron Newsome said. "But he's still that fired-up guy. He's still got a lot left in the tank. He still loves the game."

Comments Thread For: BScene Staff Predictions: Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.-Andy Lee
The most anxious part of any given event featuring Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. isnt how he will do in the ring, but how he looks when he hits the scales.
All fears were alleviated on Friday afternoon, when the second-generation fighter showed up at a lean 159 lb. for his middleweight title defense against Andy Lee on Saturday night at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas. HBO will televise the bout, which is preceded on the broadcast (Saturday, 10PM ET) by the exclusive replay of last weeks welterweight bout between Tim Bradley and Manny Pacquiao.

However... Chavez Jr. did in fact win that fight by making an adjustment midway through. He's done it in other fights as well. Boxers give him trouble, but once he figures out a way to impose his will/strength, the fight changes in his direction and almost always for good. Not sure what is so off about saying that. You make it seem as if he does the same thing from rounds 1-12. |

Several days ago I commented on certain Coax Crimp Connectors not fitting the Coax they were intended for. The response was underwhelming except for the couple of ..."they fit on my coax"... responses. So I conducted an experiment, albeit an expensive one. The Coax I am using is LMR-400UF and LMR-240UF. Connectors (PL-259 and BNC) from one store DID NOT accommodate the stranded center conductor unless I removed one or two strands. Connectors bought from another store (obviously from different sources) did accommodate the stranded center conductor. Being wary of litigation, I will not mention the two suppliers here, but will in private correspondence. Anyone want under-sized Coax Connectors, real cheap !! 73, Dick, W1KSZ/7 _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |

GSA pushes agencies to use more performance-based contracts
By Jason Miller
Nov 19, 2004
Before signing on to use the General Services Administration's procurement services, agencies will need to answer a simple question: Why can't this buy be performance-based?
If an agency fails to justify to GSA contracting officers why a deal should not use this methodology, then the deal will be written with a statement of objectives, performance measures and contractor incentives, said Robert Suda, assistant commissioner for GSA's Federal Technology Service.
GSA wants 50 percent of all the contracts it sets in fiscal 2005 to be performance-based. The requirement will help agencies maximize the value of their buys, Suda said.
'We will have some aggressive goals in the IT Solution Center and FTS business units to do performance-based contracting,' he said at a recent panel discussion sponsored by the Industry Advisory Council. 'We are going back to the agencies and focusing on performance-based contracting first. The Defense Department also is pushing this type of contracting.'
DOD has a goal to base 50 percent of eligible services contracts on performance by the end of next year, DOD procurement chief Deidre Lee said.
GSA's decision to advocate performance-based contracting follows a September Office of Federal Procurement Policy memorandum requiring agencies to use this type of contracting on at least 40 percent of all contracts worth $25,000 or more.
OFPP also penned a new definition of what constitutes a performance-based services contract: 'If more than 50 percent of the requirement is performance-based, as measured in dollars, the services action may be coded as a performance-based services acquisition.'
The biggest challenge agencies will face in meeting these goals is moving from a traditional contracting environment to one that puts more risks on contractors while offering more rewards, said David Drabkin, GSA's deputy associate administrator for acquisition policy.
'We have to learn to manage risk by using a cost vehicle that includes an award fee,' he said. 'After we have some experience, we will move toward a fixed-price performance-based environment because we will be better at accounting for the risk in the project.'
In the short term, Drabkin said the cost of performance-based contracts for the government could increase. Why? Because agencies must demonstrate to vendors that the government can accurately determine the price of a service, he said.
'OMB recognized this difficulty, and that is why it has revised the test for what is a performance-based contract,' Drabkin said.
The potential for increased profits should provide incentive for vendors to support the use of the contracts, he said. Drabkin suggested tying all profit to meeting performance goals.
'The difficult job is sitting down at the table and making sure the only way you get profit is by performing at least well,' he said. 'I've said this to a number of companies, and they agreed.'
