The field laboratory on Carrie Bow Cay was finally established in 1972. Our Program - CCRE What exactly is an ecosystem? In one sentence, an ecosystem consists of communities that are tied together by environmental conditions and exchange of matter and energy. In order to understand the composition and workings of an ecosystem such as a coral reef, we need to observe, study, measure, and interpret all aspects, including its geological past. This knowledge allows us to detect changes caused by natural cycles or events, or by humans, and to predict under what set of circumstances the system will become unbalanced or collapse. Coral reefs are a beautiful part of our environment and provide us with enormous benefits such as food, medicine, and economic gains through trade and tourism. A coral reef is a very complex system, therefore we also need to study the associated islands, seagrass meadows, sandy bottoms, even the "empty" looking blue water off-shore. Research - What we study Topography, origin, geological development, and oceanography of the reef and its numerous islands; biodiversity, evolution, and ecology of reef, mangrove, and seagrass species and communities; indicators and impact of environmental imbalance on reefs and mangroves caused by natural stresses or humans, possibly leading to problems that will ultimately hurt or irreversibly damage reefs, our most precious, productive, and esthetic tropical coastal resource. Education – Investing in the future CCRE staff and associates initiated and conducted numerous educational activities, which include volunteer training, highly successful "mangrove conservation through education" courses, preparing of field guides and manuals, and advising and participating in doctoral dissertation research.

Apollo Nida faces up to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to a laundry list of charges stemming from his massive bank fraud scheme.
The "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star pled guilty to charges of identity theft on Tuesday afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. He also copped to bank fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud and conspiracy charges.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Apollo showed up to court in a light plaid jacket to accept the charges that could result in a hefty prison sentence and up to $1 million in fines and another $2.3 million in restitution. He's been accused of stealing about 50 identities and laundering money through fake bank accounts. TMZ.com reports that federal authorities also claim that Apollo cashed stolen U.S. treasury checks and pension checks from Delta Airlines.
"This defendant participated in a sweeping fraud scheme that exploited many segments of the financial system, including phony claims submitted to federal and state agencies, loans secured by vehicles, and even basic identity theft associated with stolen checks," United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates said in a statement, EOnline.com reports. "Nida and his conspirators were conniving and creative in their scheme to steal victims' identities and defraud them."
According to AJC, Apollo told the judge that he resorted to illegal measures because he felt a need to keep up financially with his wife Phaedra Parks, who was supposedly earning $600,000 for being on "RHOA." He told S2S that he and Phaedra got married less than six months after he got out of prison. They then quickly joined "RHOA" as cast regulars.
Apollo insisted that Phaedra knew nothing about his scam, revealing that he only told her that he was running a debt collection business. Accepting "full responsibility for my actions," Apollo revealed that he put himself under a lot of pressure to "sustain a [certain] lifestyle" and he eventually suffered a nervous breakdown off-camera.
"It was a dumb situation I put myself in," Apollo said in court on Tuesday, explaining that he found it hard to withdraw from his scheme once he started pulling in so much money. "I got sucked in and engulfed and lost sight of things.'"
The Bravo reality star, who denied that he was a criminal at the season 6 "RHOA" reunion, apologized to his family and the victims affected by his scheme. Hours after pleading guilty, he confronted hecklers on Twitter as he fired back insults at them. He stated, that the backlash wasn't completely unexpected.

Phaedra has yet to speak out on the matter. Apollo is expected back in court on July 8, when Judge Chris Pannell has scheduled him for sentencing.

Sinuses: the mysterious holes in our heads
Nothing can contain a lot of something. That's the story of the sinuses: four pairs of air-filled holes behind the nose and around the eyes. These eight cavities decrease the weight of the head, help the voice resonate, and even moisten and warm inhaled air -- a natural humidifier.
At least, that's what doctors think the sinuses are there for. Like the appendix, sinuses are not a vital organ. One can do just fine without sinuses. People born without sinuses, or who have them surgically replaced, don't appear to have any significant problems. Moreover, the main beneficiaries of sinuses often are viruses and bacteria. The warm, sheltered environment can be a veritable Petri dish for bugs in our heads.
Sinuses have an antimicrobial defense in their mucus linings. The mucus itself contains bug-fighting antibiotics. Small hairlike cells called cilia push the mucus around, taking any trapped bugs with it. In most people, most of the time, this defense keeps sinuses healthy. But virtually everyone will experience the sorry effects when this defense breaks down. A large minority will experience it repeatedly.
Because the sinuses are connected through the nasal passages to the outside air, they are exposed to all sorts of disease and misery-causing agents, such as allergy-producing substances, mold, bacteria or viruses. They often attack the tender mucus lining of the sinuses, inflaming it and causing a condition known as sinusitis. Overproduction of mucus clogs the sinuses, producing that all-too-familiar stuffy feeling. More than 35 million Americans are estimated to get sinusitis every year.
Worse, the sinuses' closeness to the eyes, brain, teeth roots and middle ear (indirectly connected to sinuses via the eustachian tube, which reaches the nasal passage) provide a road for all the invading nasties to spread.
Colds often produce acute sinusitis, which subsides relatively quickly once the cold is over. But millions of people have ongoing, or chronic sinusitis, which produces a more or less constant state of discomfort. These are the people who get colds or infections that never quite seem to go away.
Sinus disorders produce a wide array of very uncomfortable symptoms that are often hard to pin down. Sinus headaches can be confused with migraine headaches and vice versa. Head congestion, facial pain and fatigue are extremely common complications, along with sore throat. Sinus blockage can also cause pain in the teeth, forehead, ears and neck. Congestion can block the eustachian tubes, impairing hearing.
More than one-third of patients with chronic cough also had sinusitis, according to a November 2005 study by researchers at the famed Mayo Clinic. The study placed sinusitis among the top three underlying causes of chronic cough, along with acid reflux and inflammation of the nasal passages, or rhinitis.
The pain and discomfort of sinusitis can make getting to sleep difficult. More indirectly, sinusitis can cause snoring or other airway obstructions. In turn, that can cause a condition known as sleep apnea, in which the person stops and resumes breathing many times a night. Sleep apnea is linked to serious health problems, such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

Rome, Venice fests feud over broken pact
By Eric J. Lyman
ROME (Hollywood Reporter) – The fur was flying Tuesday
between the organizers of the venerable Venice Film Festival
and its fledgling counterpart in Rome.
After weeks of politely spinning the growing rivalry
between the festivals, organizers of the events erupted into a
war of words just hours before the Venice fest was scheduled to
open Wednesday.
In an interview Monday with state broadcaster RAI, Venice
director Marco Muller blasted the inaugural RomaCinemaFest for
breaking what he said was an agreement not to make any major
announcements during the week before Venice's opening.
On Monday, Rome said Nicole Kidman would open its festival
October 13, and confirmed previous reports that her film "Fur"
would premiere at the event.
"I've got no fear of the RomaCinemaFest because they are
only screening films that neither Cannes nor Venice wanted," an
angry Muller told RAI. His office confirmed his remarks.
Rome responded Tuesday, with co-directors Giorgio Gosetti
and Mario Sesti saying that Muller's interview was "an
incredible offense to all cinema and to the extraordinary
directors who decided to bring films to Rome."
"Venice should not fear Rome," they said. "It should fear
its own mistakes."
Since the creation of the RomaCinemaFest was announced on
the Venice Lido a year ago, the two festivals have gone to
great lengths to show they supported each other, even agreeing
in July to produce dual tributes to Italian directors Roberto
Rossellini, Luchino Visconti and Bernardo Bertolucci. But
privately, officials from both festivals mumbled complaints
about the other.
In July, Muller said in an interview that he was
disappointed that Rome chose a start date so close to Venice's
close — there are less than five weeks between Venice's
closing day on September 9 and the Rome start — but he said he
would withhold judgment until Rome announced its lineup in
"The truth is we don't know anything (about Rome)," Muller
said at the time. "It's still a mystery what kind of festival
Rome will be. The truth is we will only really know in
mid-September, when they announce their lineup of films. Are
they looking for the same kinds of films Venice is interested
in? Are they trying to mimic Venice or really planning to come
up with something new?"
Venice officials said Tuesday that Rome actions regarding
the announcement involving Kidman were a shot across Venice's
"The timing was intentional and designed to distract
attention," one official said in an interview.
Until last year, Rome's Gosetti ran the Venice Days sidebar
at the Lido. He and other RomaCinemaFest officials had been
planning to attend part of this year's Venice event. There is
no word yet whether the recent exchange of words means they'll
cancel their plans.

It's "quite simply fear-mongering, which is a disappointing (tack) to take from a reputable non-profit organization," he said.
Hiemstra said that while a 30 percent increase is not inevitable, it's possible.
"There's always the chance that costs won't increase, but they are a corporation and they're trying to turn a profit," he said. "That's what companies do."
Lochrie said drawing any kind of parallel between the two projects, other than their size, is faulty logic.
"The two projects are completely separate and there is no correlation between the financing of the Carlsbad project and the Huntington Beach project," Lochrie wrote. "The cost of the HB project will be clarified once that project obtains all of its permits, has selected an engineering and construction team and negotiated water purchase agreements with public water agency customers."
He also cited a report from the Pacific Institute Water Program that says looking at one project's cost isn't indicative of another project's water costs.
"Even when there is an apples-to-apples comparison, there are a number of site- and project-specific factors that make cost comparisons difficult, such as energy, land, and labor costs and the availability of visible and hidden subsidies," the Pacific Institute Water Program report reads.
But Hiemstra said many environmental groups believe Poseidon has not been forthright with their plans, prompting groups to seek answers on their own.
"We can compare Carlsbad to Huntington Beach in a lot of different ways and one of the ways is the complete lack of transparency from Poseidon," he said. "What we have been told repeatedly ... is that the (San Diego) water purchase agreement is the model for what they're going to be looking for in Orange County."
The Carlsbad plant
Production: The plant will produce 50 million gallons of fresh water a day.
Cost: The Carlsbad facility is estimated to cost about $900 million.
Anticipated open date: Carlsbad is expected to be online in 2016.

New York, NYDecember 5, 2012Computer scientists at Columbia's School of Engineering and Applied Science have published a study in the November 2012 issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics (AJHG) that demonstrates a new approach used to analyze genetic data to learn more about the history of populations. The authors are the first to develop a method that can describe in detail events in recent history, over the past 2,000 years. They demonstrate this method in two populations, the Ashkenazi Jews and the Masai people of Kenya, who represent two kinds of histories and relationships with neighboring populations: one that remained isolated from surrounding groups, and one that grew from frequent cross-migration across nearby villages.
"Through this work, we've been able to recover very recent and refined demographic history, within the last few centuries, in contrast to previous methods that could only paint broad brushstrokes of the much deeper past, many thousands of years ago," says Computer Science Associate Professor Itsik Pe'er, who led the research. "This means that we can now use genetics as an objective source of information regarding history, as opposed to subjective written texts."
Pe'er's group uses computational genetics to develop methods to analyze DNA sequence variants. Understanding the history of a population, knowing which populations had a shared origin and when, which groups have been isolated for a long time, or resulted from admixture of multiple original groups, and being able to fully characterize their genetics is, he explains, "essential in paving the way for personalized medicine."
For this study, the team developed the mathematical framework and software tools to describe and analyze the histories of the two populations and discovered that, for instance, Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of a small numberin the hundredsof individuals from the late medieval times, and since then have remaine

Re: Rallies Gone Wrong
Smack, I can't speak for the SDR, but they way these things (promotional events) usually work is that a sponsor picks up the costs of components of event. For instance; Bluewater Sailing Magazine sponsors ( pays for) Chris Parker's weather forecasts/routing.
Sponsors can purchase and provide a complete component like above, or contribute a portion of the cost of an event and become a co-sponsor. Obviously they are willing to do that in order to have their brand in front of a targeted market and perhaps personal access to the participants, via seminars, displays, or social events.
All the sponsors on their list are marketing products or services to this unique population, from rental cars, hotel rooms to marine products.
It sounds like the Rally organizers simply pull the whole thing together, which is a ton of work. That is probably why they are asking for sponsorship to hire someone part-time to help....it's grown beyond what most people would be willing to donate their time to.

Egypt's prime minister named 12 new Cabinet members Sunday in a reshuffle under pressure from protesters demanding a purge of remnants of the former regime, state television reported.
A lawyer for Hosni Mubarak, meanwhile, said the ousted president had suffered a stroke and was in a coma - a claim that was quickly denied by Mubarak's lead doctor.
The former president is set to face trial in about two weeks on charges he ordered the killings of protesters during the 18-day uprising that ousted him on Feb. 11. A conviction could carry the death penalty and activists suspect his lawyer may be using health problems as a ruse to sway public opinion and perhaps even win amnesty.
State TV dubbed the new government line-up the "Revolution Cabinet." Most of the ministers were relative newcomers, clearly a way to avoid further criticism by the protesters.
Thousands of Egyptians have returned to Tahrir Square, the epicenter of Egypt's uprising, complaining that change has come too slow under the military council that took over power.
Even after the Cabinet reshuffle, many of the protesters in the square said they have no intention of quitting more than a week into their sit-in.
"The real power brokers are the generals of Hosni Mubarak," said activist Hossam el-Hamalawy. "Nothing has really changed on the ground." He said ending military trials for civilians and an improved minimum wage remain high on the list of the protesters' demands.
Prime Minister Essam Sharaf is delivering on a promise for a Cabinet reshuffle in an attempt to end the new round of mass protests. A final line-up is expected Monday.
The most prominent among those replaced is Antiquities chief Zahi Hawass. For more than a decade, he has been the international face of Egypt's archaeology, with his trademark "Indiana Jones" hat that turned him into an instantly recognizable global icon. Mr. Hawass, however, has been the target of a series of heavily publicized protests by archaeology graduates who accused him of corruption and seeking publicity for himself.
He has been accused of being too close to Mr. Mubarak and his family, along with former culture minister Farouq Hosni, himself a protégé of the Mubaraks who had served in the Cabinet for 25 years until he was pushed out after the revolution.
Mr. Sharaf accepted the resignation of Finance Minister Samir Radwan after his new budget was dismissed by many protesters as conservative. One of the main factors behind the uprising was crippling poverty.
Mr. Radwan will be replaced by Hezam el-Biblawi, a former U.N. official and prominent economist. El-Biblawi was also named deputy prime minister.
Mr. Sharaf named new ministers of transport, military production, higher education, communication, agriculture and health. The ministers of religious endowments, local development, trade and industry and civil aviation have also been replaced. Mr. Sharaf had accepted the resignation of the foreign minister on Saturday, naming a relatively new face, Mohammed Kamel Omar, once Egypt's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, as the new chief diplomat.
Tension has been on the rise in Egypt over what many perceive as the military rulers' reluctance to act against Mubarak and his loyalists. In one of the most sustained campaigns to pressure the military since they took charge in February, protesters have camped out in Tahrir demanding an overhaul of government.
In a sign of the tense relations, a senior military official visiting the protest camp Saturday was heckled by a number of protesters, forcing him to leave.
Justice for the families of nearly 900 people killed during the uprising is a key demand. In response, the military promised public trials for officials facing charges.
The protesters camped in Tahrir are also demanding a public trial for Mubarak and other regime officials accused of complicity in killing protesters.
Mubarak's lawyer Farid el-Deeb claimed on Sunday that the ousted president had suffered a stroke and was in a coma.
However, Assem Azzam, the head of Mubarak's medical team, quickly denied it and said he only suffered from a bout of low blood pressure and dizziness. Mr. Azzam said Mr. Mubarak, 83, was stable.
Mr. Mubarak has been in a hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh since April under arrest on charges that he ordered the killings of protesters during the uprising. He is said to be suffering from heart trouble.
El-Deeb has made other claims recently about Mubarak's deteriorating health that were also denied by senior medical officials.
Mr. Mubarak was treated last year for cancer in his gallbladder and pancreas, and el-Deeb said last month that he may be suffering a recurrence that spread to his stomach. However, two senior Egyptian medical officials - one of them the head of Mubarak's team of doctors - said at the time he did not have the disease.
Mr. Mubarak's purported health issues have complicated efforts to bring him to trial. He was hospitalized on the day prosecutors trying to build a case against him sought to question the former leader for the first time.
Prosecutors have questioned him in the hospital, but an order to transfer him to a Cairo prison during the investigation was overturned on the grounds that the prison health facilities were inadequate to treat him. A report by a government-appointed panel of physicians determined in May that Mubarak is too ill to be held in prison while awaiting trial.
Mr. Mubarak's sons, Alaa and Gamal, have been held in Cairo's Tora prison since mid-April while they are investigated on charges ranging from corruption and squandering public funds to ordering the violent suppression of anti-government demonstrations.ds

Lynnwood's Basham is the 'real deal'
Opponents have to account for Royals' best player
Earlier this summer, the incoming all-league senior lineman took a major step toward achieving the dream of just about every player who puts on a uniform -- he verbally agreed to play football at a Division I school -- in Basham's case, the University of Washington, his first choice.
"It was a big relief off my shoulders," Basham said of his decision. "It kind of showed a lot of players that I was the real deal."
Basham is the second Lynnwood player in recent years to continue his football career at a top-notch Division I school. Geoff Meinken, a 2009 graduate, is now playing for Stanford. Basham and Meinken moved to the college ranks despite being on teams that struggled in the Western Conference 3A. The Royals have gone 6-24 the last three years and were 4-34 during the four years Meinken was at Lynnwood.
For a team-by-team look at the new-look Wesco South 4A, click here
Basham hopes current and future Royals will be inspired by what he and Meinken have achieved.
"It's nice," Basham said. "It shows that Lynnwood is not hopeless. It really sets the tone. It shows people that they have something to follow. That's kind of why I came here."
First-year Lynnwood head coach Adam Fermstad isn't surprised Basham is headed to a Division I program. Of all the players he observed at the high school level, Fermstad places Basham among his all-time top 3.
"He has the presence on the field where teams have to actively game plan against him because if you game plan toward him, most of the time it's not going to end up going your way," said Fermstad, who was an assistant coach with the Royals last season. "That's something real special. The fact that he's still able to be a team leader and bring guys up, maybe not quite to his level because he's pretty talented, but he's able to bring guys up to a level they didn't know they had."
A quality that sets Basham apart from most linemen is his speed. Despite being 6-foot-3 and weighing anywhere from 295 to 305 pounds, Basham is one of the team's fastest players.

"It's crazy," Fermstad said. "You wouldn't expect a guy of that size to come out and really have the acceleration and speed that he has. It's real special to see that."
Fermstad has Basham penciled in at left tackle on offense and still is debating on how to use his all-league lineman on defense.
"A guy like him, he has the capability of turning the tide in whatever he does," Fermstad said.
The coach hasn't decided whether to put Basham at tackle or one of the outside positions. Lynnwood will be playing a 3-4 defense.
"Regardless, wherever we put him in, we know that he's going to be able to make a strong impact," Fermstad said.
For his senior season, Basham is looking to elevate his game on and off the field.
"I really want to focus not so much on my physical aspects but more of my mental aspects and leadership," said Basham, who will be a captain for the second year. But if he were to pick a goal on the field, it would be to break the Lynnwood sack record. He still is doing research, trying to figure out what the current record is.
Fermstad saw a more assertive Basham during the offseason. Basham is talking more with his teammates.
"Last year he definitely was a leader," Fermstad said. "It was more leading by example. In the offseason, he's definitely gotten more verbal with the guys and with the coaches of what he thinks he's capable of and how he wants to help the team."
Football isn't the only thing on Basham's agenda his senior year. The Royals standout took first place in the shot put at the Class 3A track and field championships. This year Lynnwood moved up to 4A, which means stiffer competition in the event, a welcome challenge for Basham.
"There are guys throwing just as far as me if not farther," he said.
As for the football team's move into the Wesco 4A South Division, Basham sees the Royals as being a bit of a wildcard in the playoff race.
"I think of us kind of like the New York Giants or the 49ers," Basham said. "I think we have a lot of good traits here. I don't think coach has to do much to put us in the right direction. I think we have a lot of good assets."

Perfect place
My wife and I came here to relax. We had the cerro gordo beach only 3 minutes away. This is the perfect location to have a romantic get away or bring the family. With enough space for everyone's to sleep and with quiet neighbors you will feel at peace. The area is very secure and gated. You are only 30 minutes from San Juan and all the wonderful things it has. Going to other areas of the island is easy to with a great highway system that is very close to the house. I recommend this location to anyone going to Puerto Rico. Price is excellent too.

O'Connor brings impassioned vocals to reggae tunes
Sinead O'Connor
By Frank Scheck
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – Although the spectacle of a
waifish, doe-eyed, shaven-headed white woman singing roots
reggae might be incongruous, Sinead O'Connor overcame any
reservations in her concert Friday night at New York's Webster
Forgoing her past material to concentrate solely on
Rastafarian-themed numbers, including every song on her new
self-released CD, "Throw Down Your Arms," the Irish songstress
managed to put her stamp on the music.
Not that she was taking any chances. Accompanying her for
the two-hour show were Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, the
classic production team/rhythm section who collaborated with
her on the album, and reggae legend Burning Spear, who wrote
nearly half of its tracks. Sly and Robbie also performed a
rousing half-hour opening set showcasing their distinctive
Delivering classic numbers written by the likes of Spear,
Lee Perry, Peter Tosh and Bob Marley, O'Connor stayed faithful
to the original versions, with only slight shifts to
accommodate her voice. The results, while not particularly
revelatory, are undeniably impressive, with the singer's
impassioned vocals and spiritual conviction adding a new
dimension to the music.
Still, lacking the deep-voiced power of some of her
predecessors, she sometimes was overcome by the loudness of the
musicians, particularly the boisterous horn section. Thus, she
shone brightest on the opener, "Jah Nuh Dead," delivered in a
stark arrangement showcasing her voice, and such numbers as
"Untold Stories" and a slowed-down "Rivers of Babylon," for
which she was accompanied by only a pair of backup singers and
acoustic guitar.
Her deep commitment to the material was evident on songs
like "Vampire," for which, alternately shouting and dancing in
place, she seemed to enter a trance. But her more playful side
also was displayed on Perry's amusing (and, in her case,
ironic) "Curly Locks" and Tosh's "Downpressor Man." She
introduced the latter by saying, "This one's for the ladies."
Anchored by Sly and Robbie on drums and bass, the band was
absolutely tremendous, laying down one sinuous rhythm after
another. Spear, providing vocal and percussive support, also
served as the evening's cheerleader, constantly rousing the
crowd with the exhortation, "Talk to me, people!"

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Researchers are developing a new class of "plasmonic metamaterials" as potential building blocks for advanced optical technologies, including ultrapowerful microscopes and computers, improved solar cells, and a possible invisibility cloak.
The new materials could make possible "nanophotonic" devices for numerous applications, said Alexandra Boltasseva, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University.
Unlike natural materials, metamaterials may possess an index of refraction less than one or less than zero. Refraction occurs as electromagnetic waves, including light, bend when passing from one material into another. It causes the bent-stick-in-water effect, which occurs when a stick placed in a glass of water appears crooked when viewed from the outside.
Being able to create materials with an index of refraction that's negative or between one and zero promises a range of potential breakthroughs in a new field called transformation optics. However, development of new technologies using metamaterials has been hindered by two major limitations: too much light is "lost," or absorbed by metals such as silver and gold contained in the metamaterials, and the materials need to be more precisely tuned so that they possess the proper index of refraction.
Now, researchers are proposing a new approach to overcome these obstacles. Findings will be detailed in an article appearing Friday (Jan. 21) in the journal Science. The article was written by Boltasseva and Harry Atwater, Howard Hughes Professor and a professor of applied physics and materials science at the California Institute of Technology.
The researchers are working to replace silver and gold in materials that are created using two options: making semiconductors more metallic by adding metal impurities to them; or adding non-metallic elements to metals, in effect making them less metallic. Examples of thes

Remotely Operated Vehicles, Satellite Tags Aid Turtle Studies
Pilot Study May Lead to Larger Effort to Reduce Turtle Bycatch
Researchers are using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and satellite-linked data loggers to learn more about turtle behavior in commercial fishing areas and to develop new ways to avoid catching turtles in fishing gear. This marks the first time an ROV has been used to follow turtles in the wild to learn about their behavior and how they interact with their habitat.
Heather Haas, Henry Milliken, Kimberly Murray, and Eric Matzen of NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass. and colleagues Ron Smolowitz and Matthew Weeks of Coonamessett Farm in East Falmouth, Mass,. have been tracking two juvenile loggerhead turtles with satellite-linked tags since August, and following other non-tagged loggerheads with an ROV.
The two juvenile loggerheads have been followed since August 24, when they were captured off New Jersey and equipped with satellite-linked data loggers that continually record water temperature, depth, location and time of day. The turtles are now about 30 miles off North Carolina.
"The most commonly caught sea turtles are juvenile loggerheads," Haas said. "Understanding their behaviors at sea, such as where they go in the water column and when, could help us reduce their chances of getting caught in nets and dredges."
With support from the commercial fishing industry, the team and fellow turtle scientist Jeff Seminoff from NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center lab in La Jolla, Calif., spent three days in late August aboard the commercial scallop vessel F/V Kathy Anne from Barnegat Light, N.J., attempting to catch two juvenile loggerhead turtles to tag.
On August 24, the team captured two juvenile loggerheads and attached the data loggers to the turtles' shells. The instruments log and store data, and should stay affixed to the turtles for at least six months and could remain attached as long as 18 months or more. Data are relayed back to the lab via satellite when the animals are at the ocean's surface.
The two turtles were in the northern part of a controlled access scallop fishing area known as Elephant Trunk. Since being tagged, the turtles have been located in water depths between 165 and 230 feet and in water temperatures between 50 degrees Fahrenheit on the bottom to 72 degrees Fahrenheit on the surface. Temperatures are important because turtles get "cold-stunned" if the waters get too cold and can become stranded, a common occurrence on Cape Cod in the fall.
Haas, Milliken, Matzen and Murray all work in the Woods Hole Fisheries lab's Protected Species Branch, which studies marine mammals, sea turtles and sea birds. Loggerhead turtles, the most common sea turtle in U.S. coastal waters, are currently a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act.
Smolowitz has worked with the NEFSC group since 2002 trying to learn more about sea turtles. He has received a number of grants from the Atlantic sea scallop fishery's research set-aside program. He has also been contracted by NEFSC to develop technologies to reduce the numbers of turtles caught in scallop dredges, such as excluder devices and modified dredges that deflect turtles away from the dredge opening. The current project is being funded by NOAA Fisheries Service and the Atlantic sea scallop fishing industry.
"The commercial scallop industry understands the importance of this research and has been very supportive of our efforts to understand and reduce turtle bycatch," Milliken said. "There is still a lot to learn about turtle behavior. Knowing more would improve our ability to reduce bycatch and estimate turtle distribution and abundance. The tags and the ROV images will provide some insights, but are only the start."
Smolowitz says the F/V Kathy Anne is ideal for the turtle research studies because the commercial scallop vessel has a crow's nest atop the mast, making it easier to see turtles in the water. Approximately 50 turtles have been located and followed with the ROV. Researchers pay special attention to their behavior, including observing their feeding, swimming, how they interact with the ocean bottom and with each other.
"I view this pilot project as a chance to work out the kinks for a larger, more comprehensive effort to study turtle behavior in commercial fishing grounds," Haas said. "We timed this study to coincide with scallop fishing activity, and we are already gaining new and unique information on turtle behavioral patterns in the wild."

KOCHI: An AIDS awareness rally and exhibition were held at Kakkanad, which was jointly organised by various district-level organisations and supported by the district panchayat and district administration. P.S. Shyla, District Panchayat President inaugurated the programme by drawing a logo of the AIDS awareness symbol.
R. Sreelekha, Inspector General of police and Managing Director of the Kerala State Roads and Bridges Corporation Limited, was the chief guest at the public function held after the rally, which was flagged off by V.A. Zakir Hussain, president of the District Sports Council.
An exhibition showcased posters drawn by children on the HIV/AIDS awareness campaign and also had posters by the Kerala State AIDS Control Society, Council of People Living with HIV/AIDS in Kerala and Rajagiri College of Social Sciences.
The Kochi branch of the Indian Medical Association took out a rally from the District Collector's camp office to the gorunds of the Durbar Hall.
The chairman of the District Task Force of the IMA, Dr. N. S. D. Raju, inaugurated the rally also delivered the message for the day which called for collective efforts to help AIDS patients by avoiding discrimination at the workplace, offering job opportunities and by developing a positive attitude towards the victims in society.
This message has to sink into the society to remove the stigma attached to the disease, he said.
Another awareness campaign was held by the National Cadet Corp unit at the Maharaja's College.
A rally was take out from the college premises to the High Court junction.
The students conveyed the message that prevention is the best solution to beat the AIDS scourge.
In a talk and counselling session held at the Cochin Port Trust, the message was again about avoiding discrimination.
The programme that is being held for the past 10 years as a joint programme by the Cochin Port Staff Association and the International Transport Workers Federation, that has 693 unions in 146 countries, focuses on counselling truck drivers.

Cancer cases to rise 40% by 2030; aging population fuel increase: report
NORTH BAY – A group of City taxpayers, led by an executive committee of business professionals, claims North Bay is dysfunctional.
Miles Peters, an executive of the recently formed North Bay Taxpayers Association made the comment at the close of a presentation given to council during its regular meeting on Jan. 7.
"We're only asking for your best. If you aim high and ultimately fail we will understand," he said, before offering a blessing "on this most beautiful, dysfunctional, city."
In its first presentation to council, Peters was the spokesperson for a message of restraint and lower taxation.
"We humbly approach you this evening with great optimism and hope that we will find the courage in our leadership to make the right decisions to overcome our fiscal challenges," said Peters in his opening remarks.
Councilors made no comments on the Ratepayers presentation, which included wordplay regarding the water and sewer budget that was on the agenda later in the meeting.
"The taxpayers are tapped out," said Peters, "and some of us feel like we're going down the drain."
He questioned whether council as "respected chosen leaders, have the individual and collective strength and willingness to make the right choices and endure the required sacrifice and pain that change demands."
As a reminder of these comments, Peters, who was accompanied at the podium by Mark King and Maurice Switzer, presented council with a framed large red leather lady's purse, which they said represented "all public sector budgets."
Peters asked that the frame be placed in a prominent place near the entrance to City Hall to "remind all employees and public servants of their responsibility to the taxpayer. We are hopeful that it will begin a new era in fiscal prudence and responsibility."
Despite these comment, Peters was adamant that the message of the purse was solely directed at council.
"We do not present this purse to city staff," he said. "Nor do we want them to direct its spending. It is not their responsibility nor mandate. They are to focus on productivity, efficiencies and the delivery of quality responsible services and the ways they can assist council in saving the contents of the purse.
"The Public Purse is presented to the Mayor and each city councilor. . .no elected official has a greater responsibility and honor than to ensure that public dollars are wisely and prudently spent."
To this end the group called for a zero percent increase or a decrease in the 2013 budget saying that "elected office does not carry with it a mandate to protect and nurture the status quo or lay preference to special interests," and pointed out redundancies in staffing as well as inefficiencies and wasteful procedures in city operations but offered not one example.

The apartment is a bit hidden but that's good - no random intruders. The location was really good: you're inside the palace area, it's a short way to the harbor, fish market and (our) favorite restaurants. There's a grocery shop about 40 m away. The bedroom was nice and clean. Warm water in the shower was not always enough for 2 people. There are streets on both sides of the apartment which produces noise but it got quiet during the night - I recommend ear plugs. No cooking facilities.

Government again delays proposed 'fracking' rule
Friday - 1/18/2013, 6:31pm EST
By MATTHEW DALY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Interior Department is again delaying a proposed rule that would require companies drilling for oil and natural gas on federal lands to publicly disclose chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing operations.
The Obama administration first proposed a "fracking" rule last May, with a final rule expected by the end of the year. Officials later revised the timeline to early 2013. On Friday, the department pushed the deadline back again, announcing plans for a second draft version by the end of March, with publication of a final rule not expected until late 2013.
Interior Department spokesman Blake Androff said the administration is committed to responsible expansion of domestic oil and gas production, but said it is important that the public have confidence that proper environmental protections are in place.

So of course like any concerned mom nuts have become my number one enemy!
I'm trying to learn everything I can about the allergy and what's safe and what isn't.
So I have lots of questions!
For instance, how do I know if a restaurant is safe what are the type of questions I need to ask. And what are some places you consider as safe?
Also what happens when you go to someone else's home for a meal? Or a family reunion?
Anything is helpful at this point :)

US calls for NKorea amnesty for sentenced American
Friday - 5/3/2013, 2:52am EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. called Thursday for North Korea to grant amnesty and immediately release a Korean-American sentenced to 15 years' hard labor for "hostile acts" against the state.
Kenneth Bae, 44, a Washington state man described by friends as a devout Christian and a tour operator, is at least the sixth American detained in North Korea since 2009. The others eventually were deported or released without serving out their terms, some after trips to Pyongyang by prominent Americans, including former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.
Analysts say Bae's sentencing could be an effort by Pyongyang to win diplomatic concessions in the ongoing standoff over its nuclear program. But there was no immediate sign a high-profile envoy was about to make a clemency mission to the isolated nation which has taken an increasingly confrontational stance under its young leader Kim Jong Un, who has the power to grant special pardons under the North's constitution.
State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said the U.S. was still seeking to learn the facts of Bae's case. He said the Swedish Embassy in Pyongyang, which handles consular matters there for the U.S., did not attend Tuesday's Supreme Court trial and that there hasn't been transparency in the legal proceedings.
"There's no greater priority for us than the welfare and safety of U.S. citizens abroad, and we urge the DPRK authorities to grant Mr. Bae amnesty and immediate release," Ventrell told a news conference, referencing the socialist country's formal title, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
North Korea has faced increasing international criticism over its weapons development. Six-nation disarmament talks involving the Koreas, the United States, Japan, China and Russia fell apart in 2009. Several rounds of U.N. sanctions have not encouraged the North to give up its small cache of nuclear devices, which Pyongyang says it must not only keep but expand to protect itself from a hostile Washington. Tensions have escalated since it conducted its third nuclear test since 2006 in February.
Pyongyang's tone has softened somewhat recently, following weeks of violent rhetoric, including threats of nuclear war and missile strikes. There have been tentative signs of interest in diplomacy, and a major source of North Korean outrage -- annual U.S.-South Korean military drills -- ended Tuesday.
Patrick Cronin, a senior analyst with the Washington-based Center for a New American Security, called Bae's conviction "a hasty gambit to force a direct dialogue with the United States."
"While Washington will do everything possible to spare an innocent American from years of hard labor, U.S. officials are aware that in all likelihood the North Korean regime wants a meeting to demonstrate that the United States in effect confers legitimacy on the North's nuclear-weapon-state status," Cronin said in an email.
White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters traveling aboard Air Force One en route to Mexico that if North Korea is interested in discussion, they should live up to their obligations under the six-party talks.
"Thus far, as you know, they have flouted their obligations, engaged in provocative actions and rhetoric that brings them no closer to a situation where they can improve the lot of the North Korean people or re-enter the community of nations," Carney said.
The state-run Korean Central News Agency announcement of Bae's sentencing came just days after it reported Saturday that authorities would soon indict and try him. It referred to Bae as Pae Jun Ho, the North Korean spelling for his Korean name. The State Department had appealed Monday for his release on humanitarian grounds.
Bae, from Lynnwood, Wash., was arrested in early November in Rason, a special economic zone in North Korea's far northeastern region bordering China and Russia, state media said. The exact nature of Bae's alleged crimes has not been revealed.
"Kenneth Bae had no access to a lawyer. It is not even known what he was charged with," the human rights group Amnesty International said in a statement. "Kenneth Bae should be released, unless he is charged with an internationally recognizable criminal offense and retried by a competent, independent and impartial court."
Ventrell said the Swedish embassy's most recent access to Bae was last Friday. It has only had a handful of brief opportunities to see him since he was arrested in early November, according to U.S. officials.
Friends and colleagues say Bae was based in the Chinese border city of Dalian and traveled frequently to North Korea to feed orphans. Bae's mother in the United States did not answer calls seeking comment Thursday.
