Australian sea lions are found on islands offshore of Australia. They range from western Australia to islands in southern Australia. The largest populations are found on Kangaroo Island and Dangerous Reef (near Port Lincoln) in southern Australia. The smallest numbers are found on the west coast of southern Australia and in Western Australia. Some live in Tasmania as well, but these are few in number. They once bred in the Bass Strait, but the entire population was wiped out by the sealing industry.

Physical Description
At birth, pups are roughly 60 to 70 cm and weigh approximately 6.5 to 8 kg. Their pelage is initially chocolate brown, but is replaced by adult-like fawn colred fur by the age of two months. Australian sea lions are sexually dimorphism, with a significant difference in the size of females and of males. As an adult, males grow to about 2.5 m and weigh 300 kg. Females grow to a length of about 1.8 m and weigh approximately 105 kg. Females reach sexual maturity at around 3 years of age, whereas males usually do not mature until they are 6 years of age or older. Males darken even further as they mature, and go through a transition phase where they have spots on their chests.
Australian sea lions have a large head with a long, narrow, and tapered muzzle. The skull has a sagittal crest approximately 30 mm in height. Males display a much larger head than females and juveniles, as well as significantly broader shoulders. Their pinnae, or ears, are incredibly small and lie close to the head. Juveniles are a dark brown with a pale crown and a dark facial mask. Subadult males and females display a coat that is fawn to silvery-gray on top and tan to pale yellow on the bottom. Mature males are dark brown with a cream-colored crown and nape, and a paler chest and throat area.
Range mass: 105 to 300 kg.
Range length: 1.8 to 2.5 m.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; homoiothermic; bilateral symmetry
Sexual Dimorphism: male larger

Australian sea lions are non-migratory , so they live and breed on sandy beaches near their birth site in relatively large colonies. The greatest distance recorded for a tagged animal has been 300km from its birth site (Jefferson, 1993). During times of tumultuous weather, they will often travel inland to seek shelter in dunes and coastal vegetation (Riedman 1990). Unlike many pinnipeds, Australian sea lions are very capable out of the water, and have been found as far as 9.4 km inland (Nowak, 1999). Many have been found at the tops of cliffs as high as 30 meters, as they are also excellent climbers.
In the water, Neophoca cinerea has been seen at depths up to 40 meters (Nowak, 1999).

Habitat and Ecology
Females become sexually mature at 4.5-6 years of age and males at 6 years or more. The mean age of breeding females is 11 years (McIntosh 2007). The oldest breeding female recorded was aged 24 years, while the maximum longevity recorded is 26 years for females and 21.5 years for males (McIntosh 2007). Age-specific survival probabilities are high (0.98) after six years of age and are similar for males and females (McIntosh 2007).
Australian Sea Lions are unusual among pinnipeds in having a supra-annual pupping interval (Gales et al. 1994, Gales and Costa 1997), with females producing pups every 17-18 months (mean breeding interval is 17.5 months, range 16.0-19.9). Females mated about 7-10 following the birth of a pups. Like most other pinnipeds, there is a 4-6 month period of delayed implantation of the blastocyst following conception. This leads to a prolonged (active) placental gestation of up to 14 months, the longest for any pinniped (Gales and Costa 1997). The annual pregnancy rate of mature females is ~71 % (Higgins and Gas 1993). Pups can be born at any time of the year, with females at a given site being loosely synchronous with each other and pupping generally occurring over a 5-7 month period at a given locale (Higgins 1993). Even neighbouring sites can be on entirely different breeding schedules. Males are sequentially polygynous, establishing territories around individual females, herding them in an effort to keep them from departing until the onset of estrous. This pattern is repeated until the male is compelled to go to sea and forage, after which he returns and repeats the strategy. Males defend their territories with guttural clicking, growling and barking vocalizations, posturing, and by fighting with rivals. Pups can be trampled when males are fighting or moving rapidly to confront rivals and control females, and killed outright in aggressive acts.
Pups are continuously attended for the first 9-10 days after birth. Over the next 5 months females make foraging trips that average 48.5 hours in length, followed by pup attendance periods that average 33 hours. Females suckle their pups for 15-18 months, usually weaning them a month before giving birth again. Some females care for their offspring for up to three years, and can be seen with a juvenile and a new pup. Adult female Australian Sea Lions behave aggressively toward pups that are not their own. Pups will play at the shoreline and in tide pools while their mothers are away, and following their postnatal moult, will actively swim on their own.
Adult female Australian Sea Lions are benthic, diurnal foragers (Costa and Gales 2003). They routinely transit to foraging locations by swimming along the bottom. Mean depth of dives from a series of lactating females tagged with time depth recorders ranged from 41.5-83.1 m; maximum depth of dives ranged from 60-105 m. Mean duration of dives ranged from 2.2-4.1 minutes, and the longest dive recorded lasted 8.3 minutes. Australian sea lions are fast, powerful swimmers and often "porpoise" out of the water when moving rapidly at the surface.
These sea lions are considered non-migratory and probably spend most of their lives near their natal colony. The greatest distance travelled by a tagged animal is approximately 250 km. Genetic distinctiveness has been reported between nearby colonies, indicating a high degree of site fidelity and female philopatry (Campbell et al. 2008). At sea, Australian Sea Lions spend nearly all of their time in waters over the continental shelf.
Australian Sea Lions are thought to concentrate their efforts on shallow-water benthic prey, but also take a wide variety of fishes, such as rays, small sharks, Australian salmon, and whiting. Other prey includes squid, cuttlefish, small crabs, and occasionally (perhaps rarely) penguins, flying seabirds and small sea turtles. Fishermen complain of sea lions robbing lobster traps and fishing nets. Large prey items may be taken to the surface and shaken into portions that can be swallowed.
Predators include Great White Sharks (Shaughnessy et al. 2007) and presumably Killer Whales (Ling 2002).
- Marine
Trophic Strategy
Australian sea lions feed on a small number of fishes (which include whiting, rays, and small sharks), squid, cuttlefish, and fairy penguins (Eudyptula minor). The main diet of N. cinerea consists of blue-throated wrasse (Notolabrus tetricus) and octopus (Achtel, P., personal communication). They concentrate on shallow-water benthic prey, and usually dive for food at depths no greater than 37 meters (Riedman, 1990).
Animal Foods: birds; fish; mollusks
Primary Diet: carnivore (Eats terrestrial vertebrates, Piscivore , Molluscivore )
This species is probably a component of control on fish and penguin populations.
One of the predators of the Australian sea lion is the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), especially near the Dangerous Reef region of the Port Lincoln area (Riedman, 1990). Fishermen also occasionally kill them accidentally by entangling them in their nets (World Conservation Monitoring Centre, 2000). Historically, the population was greatly reduced due to sealing (Jefferson, 1993).

Lifespan, longevity, and ageing
The mating system of this sea lion is polygynous. A male secures a breeding territory on the beach and actively defends it against other males though ritualized posturing and aggressive confrontation. The male leaves his territory to feed in the ocean for a few hours at a time. Upon his return, he may have to battle to regain his territory.
Males keep several females on their territories. If the female strays, the male will aggressively herd her back, sometimes entering another male's territory to do so. (Nowak, 1999)
Males have been seen killing pups, although presumably not their own. Defense of territories may be an indirect mechanism of paternal care for young.
There is some evidence of cooperative breeding (See Behavior) in which females care for pups other than their own.
Mating System: polygynous ; cooperative breeder
Australian sea lions have a breeding cycle of approximately 17.6 months. These non-annual cycles are affected by some unknown factor, not by environmental influence as previously thought (Higgins, 1993). Some females do not produce young in consecutive breeding seasons (Nowak, 1999). Births can occur over a period of 4-6 months in any colony of N. cinerea, making births highly unsynchronized.
When the breeding cycle begins, males copulate with harems of four or five females at a time (Ridgway, 1972). Males also have the ability to herd the females into mating groups, a feature rare in other species of sea lion (Riedman, 1990).
Females enter estrous about 6 days after giving birth, and are mated by the male at this time. There is some debate in the literature about the ensuing gestation period. Pinnipeds typically experience a delay in implantation of about three months, followed by an eight or nine month placentation. Because N. cinerea experiences a much longer interbirth interval, it is clear that this species differs from the typical pinniped pattern. Some investigators think that Australian sea lions experience a longer than average dely in implantation of the blastocyst, amounting to 10-11 months, and a normal length pregnancy (8-9 months). Others think there is a more typical pinniped length delay in implantation (5-6 months) and a longer than average placentation (over 12 months). (Nowak, 1999)
Young are typically weaned just before the birth of subsequent offspring, at 15-18 months. However, females have been seen nursing pups of different ages at the same time.
Breeding season: Because the breeding interval is oddly spaced, the breeding season steadily shifts throughout the calendar year.
Average number of offspring: 1.
Range gestation period: 512 to 576 days.
Range weaning age: 15 to 18 months.
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 3 to 6 years.
Range age at sexual or reproductive maturity (male): 3 to 6 years.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; viviparous ; delayed implantation
Average birth mass: 7075 g.
Average number of offspring: 1.
Female N. cinerea come to shore about two days before they give birth in order to establish a natal site. After giving birth to a pup, the female will stay at the natal site for approximately 10 days before returning to the sea to forage. She will return to land every couple of days to nurse her young, staying with the pup for about 33 hours at a time. A mother uses both vocal and scent communication to locate and identify her pup.
As pups grow up, they often form small groups and swim in shallow rock pools before they venture into the ocean with their mothers.
Females care for their own young, nursing them until about 26 days before giving birth to their next pup. Some mothers have been seen nursing both a yearling and a newborn pup. There are reports of females being aggressive to pups other than their own, but there are also some reports of females taking care of groups of pups. This makes it difficult to determine how much cooperative care of young there might actually be, although it is clear that some cooperative care occurs. Altricial at birth, pups are able to follow their mothers both on land and into the sea at approximately 3 months of age.
No specific male parental care has been reported for N. cinerea, but by maintaining territories, fathers may protect their offspring from other males of the species.

IUCN Evaluation of the Australian Sea Lion, Neophoca cinerea
Prepared by the Pinniped Specialist Group
A. Population reduction Declines measured over the longer of 10 years or 3 generations
Al. Population reduction observed, estimated, inferred, or suspected in the past where the causes of the reduction are clearly reversible AND understood AND have ceased, based on and specifying any of the following:
(a) direct observation
(b) an index of abundance appropriate to the taxon
(c) a decline in area of occupancy (AOO), extent of occurrence (EOO) and/or habitat quality
(d) actual or potential levels of exploitation
(e) effects of introduced taxa, hybridization, pathogens, pollutants, competitors or parasites.
Australian Sea Lions have a non-annual and asynchronous breeding system. The mean interval between successive breeding seasons is 17.5 months (range16.0-19.9). Subpopulations across the range of the species breed at different times. Populations as near as 20 km can be up to 6 months out of phase in the timing of breeding. There are 73 known breeding sites. 61 of these produce >5 pups, with a total breeding cycle pup production estimated at 3,455 (mean pup production 57, median 27). 80% of the population is located in South Australia, 20% in Western Australia. Based on an age-structured model, the number of mature animals in the population is ~6,600 (Females >4.5 years; males >6 years). Genetic population substructure in the species is extreme, with most colonies (subpopulations) having unique mtDNA lineages, demonstrating extreme philopatry and meeting the IUCN definition of a severely fragmented population.
Some age-structure data are available for one Australian Sea Lion population (Seal Bay, Kangaroo Island). The generation time has been estimated to be 12.4-12.8 years. Hence 3 generations is equivalent to ~38 years.
Robust data on trends in abundance (based on pup abundance per breeding season) are available for only the three largest subpopulations:
- Seal Bay (Kangaroo Island)- pup abundance estimates have declined by 12.6% over 13 breeding season (17.7 years), a decline of -0.77%/year (-1.14%/breeding season), and population modeling projects the subpopulation to decline >50% within 3 generations 38 years.
- The Pages Islands - trends in pup abundance for 13 breeding seasons show no significant change (i.e. stable).
- Dangerous Reef- trends in pup abundance over 8 breeding seasons from 1994/95 to 2006/07 indicate an increase of 6.9%/breeding season (4.6%/year). Most of this increase has taken place since 2000.
The main threat to the Australian Sea Lion is bycatch in demersal gillnet and trap fisheries. The recovery of the Dangerous Reef population coincides with closures in the gillnet fishery in Spencer Gulf in 2000. Fishery closures also provide protection for most of the foraging space of The Pages Islands subpopulation (stable). There are no substantive gillnet fishery closures that provide protection for the foraging space of the Seal Bay subpopulation which is declining.
No accurate trend data are available for the majority of subpopulations with low pup production (>70% of populations produce <50 pups).
Historical reductions in range and population size from sealing (1800-1830) and subsequent take are inferred. Recent reductions (last 30-40 years) have been inferred or suspected from the high proportion of small and potentially declining subpopulations based on actual and potential levels of bycatch in gillnet and trap fisheries. The causes of reduction and threat are reversible and understood (but have not ceased); thus, this criterion is not applicable.
A2. Population reduction observed, estimated, inferred, or suspected in the past where the causes of reduction may not have ceased OR may not be understood OR may not be reversible, based on any of (a) to (e) under A1.
Declines have been detected at Seal Bay (12.6% decline over 13 breeding seasons, equivalent to a 25% decline over 3 generations). A population model suggests that this population will continue to decline at a level that will be >50% within 3 generations.
The high proportion of small subpopulations in the species (50% produce <27 pups per breeding season) is thought to be a consequence of systemic declines that have resulted from sustained fisheries by-catch over the last 40 years. However, trend data for these small populations are of poor quality or are totally lacking.
The major causes for reduction based on observed and potential levels of by-catch in gillnet and trap fisheries are known and have not ceased. As the rate of decline has only been estimated for one subpopulation and ranges from 25 to >50% reduction over 3 generations, and declines are inferred in other (depleted) subpopulations, the Australian Sea Lion meets criterion A2b and A2d for Vulnerable (VU).
A3. Population reduction projected or suspected to be met in the future (up to a maximum of 100 years) based on (b) to (e) under A1.
A population model suggests that the Seal Bay subpopulation will decline >50% within 3 generations 38 years (indicating E). A population viability analysis indicates that many South Australian subpopulations (~30%) are vulnerable to extinction in the absence of additional by-catch mortality. With low levels of fishery by-catch mortality (egg. 1-2 additional female mortalities/year/subpopulation), 80% of subpopulations are projected to be declining, and 42% may be quasi-extinct (<10 females) within 25 years (<3 generations). Current estimated by-catch levels are likely to be within these ranges.
At a subpopulation level, under criterion A3d, 38% of South Australian subpopulations are assessed as either VU or EN, and at least 42% are assessed as Critically Endangered (CR) based on criterion A3 (d) CR if current by-catch levels remain.
A4. An observed, estimated, inferred, projected or suspected population reduction (up to a maximum of 100 years) where the time period must include both the past and the future, and where the causes of reduction may not have ceased OR may not be understood OR may not be reversible, based on (a) to (e) under A1.
A population decline has been detected in the recent past at Seal Bay (12.6% decline over 13 breeding seasons, equivalent to a 25% decline over 3 generations) and is projected to continue (>50% decline within 3 generations). The only subpopulation known to be increasing has only done so since gillnet fisheries were closed within its foraging grounds in 2000. The high proportion of small subpopulations in the species is suspected to result from systemic declines that have resulted from fisheries bycatch. Current rates of by-catch are high and have not ceased, and population modeling of South Australian populations suggests that even low levels of by-catch will lead to quasi-extinctions of some subpopulations (42% quasi-extinct within 3 generations) and continuing declines in others (38%). Hence, subpopulations range from VU to CR under A3 and A4d, though it is not possible to make an accurate global assessment for the species with available data.
B. Geographic range in the form of either B1 (extent of occurrence) AND/OR B2 (area of occupancy)
B1. Extent of occurrence (EOO): CR < 100 km²; EN < 5,000 km²; VU < 20,000 km²
EOO for Australian Sea Lions is > 20,000 km²
B2. Area of occupancy (AOO): CR < 10 km²; EN < 500 km²; VU < 2,000 km²
AOO for Australian Sea Lions is > 2,000 km²
AND at least 2 of the following:
(a) Severely fragmented, OR number of locations: CR = 1; EN < 5; VU < 10
(b) Continuing decline in any of: (i) extent of occurrence; (ii) area of occupancy; (iii) area, extent and/or quality of habitat; (iv) number of locations or subpopulations; (v) number of mature individuals.
(c) Extreme fluctuations in any of: (i) extent of occurrence; (ii) area of occupancy; (iii) number of locations or subpopulations; (iv) number of mature individuals.
None of the criteria (a), (b) or (c) is satisfied.
C. Small population size and decline
Number of mature individuals: CR < 250; EN < 2,500; VU < 10,000
Based on an age-structured model and estimates of pup production for the species, the number of mature individuals is estimated to be ~6,600 (Females >4.5 years; males >6 years). This meets criterion C for Vulnerable (VU).
AND either C1 or C2:
C1. An estimated continuing decline of at least: CR = 25% in 3 years or 1 generation; EN = 20% in 5 years or 2 generations; VU = 10% in 10 years or 3 generations (up to a max. of 100 years in future)
For the Seal Bay subpopulation a continuing decline is projected for the future (>50% decline within 3 generations) satisfying V. For subpopulations vulnerable to fisheries by-catch, with by-catch of >1-2 females per year, declines are expected that would satisfy the EN or VU criteria for many subpopulations, and CR to quasi-extinct for some others.
C2. A continuing decline AND (a) and/or (b):
(a i) Number of mature individuals in each subpopulation: CR < 50; EN < 250; VU < 1,000
For the 61 subpopulations that produce >5 pups per breeding season, based on the number of mature individuals, most (48%) are categorized as CR , 39% as EN and 13% VU. The median number of mature individuals in each subpopulation is 52. If the breeding sites that producer <5 pups per breeding season are included, the median number of mature individuals per subpopulation would be <50, which satisfies a classification of CR.
(a ii) % individuals in one subpopulation: CR = 90-100%; EN = 95-100%; VU = 100%
The largest subpopulation contains ~20% of individuals of the species.
(b) Extreme fluctuations in the number of mature individuals.
Based on C, C1 and C2(ai), the species is categorized as VU, although under some criteria, EN and CR could be justified.
D. Very small or restricted population
Number of mature individuals: CR < 50; EN < 250; VU < 1,000 AND/OR restricted area of occupancy typically: AOO < 20 km² or number of locations < 5
The number of mature individuals in the Australian Sea Lion population is estimated to be ~6,600. This does not meet any of the above criteria.
E. Quantitative analysis
Indicating the probability of extinction in the wild to be: CR > 50% in 10 years or 3 generations (100 years max.); EN > 20% in 20 years or 5 generations (100 years max.); VU > 10% in 100 years
A population viability analysis has been undertaken for South Australian subpopulations (assuming a stable population structure, r = 0). PVAs were undertaken on individual subpopulation because of the extreme philopatry in the species. These determined that with no additional bycatch mortality, ~30% of subpopulations are presently categorized as EN or CR, based on criterion E. With low levels of fishery by-catch mortality (e.g., 1-2 additional female mortalities/year/subpopulation), 80% of subpopulations are categorized as either EN or CR, with 42% quasi-extinct (<10 females) within 25 years. Current estimated bycatch levels are likely to be within these ranges. Based on these quantitative analyses, at least 42% of South Australian populations would meet the criterion for Critically Endangered (CR), and 38% meet the criterion of either Endangered (EN) or Critically Endangered (CR).
Listing recommendation : The Australian Sea Lion population is thought to be significantly reduced in size from historical levels. It is a non-annual, asynchronous breeder that exhibits extreme site fidelity to its multiple, small colonies within its fragmented population. Based on: levels of fishing effort over the last 40 years; current estimates of fishery by-catch rates of sea lions; the high proportion of small, depleted subpopulations; quantitative analyses, which suggest that until fishery by-catch is manage, subpopulations will continue to decline or disappear; and projected declines in abundance in excess of 50% for major colonies - the Australian Sea Lion should be classified as Endangered (EN).
- 1994Rare(Groombridge 1994)
Population Trend
Although now protected, the population has not rebounded fully in numbers or reoccupied all of its former range. Conflicts and interactions with fisheries exist. A high level of entanglement in abandoned and lost fishing gear and in marine debris has been reported, with a range of 0.2 to 1.3% of the population are entangled in these materials (Shaughnessy et al. 2003, Page et al. 2004). Other animals become entangled in fishing gear, particularly bottom-set gillnets of commercial shark fishers. A risk assessment of sea lion by-catch in shark gillnets indicated that there is a high risk of subpopulation extinction with even low levels of by-catch (Goldsworthy and Page 2007). A substantial sea lion tourist industry has developed; this activity is regulated at sea lion colonies in parks to minimize disturbance during the breeding season. Extensive disturbance can cause Australian Sea Lions to abandon colony sites.

Australian sea lion
The Australian sea lion (Neophoca cinerea) also known as the Australian sea-lion or Australian sealion, is a species of sea lion that breeds only on the south and west coasts of Australia. It is monotypic in the genus Neophoca.
The Australian sea lion is a pinniped, most closely related to other species of sea lions and fur seals in the family Otariidae.
Breeding behaviour[edit]
The breeding cycle of the Australian sea lion is unusual within the pinniped family. It is an 18-month cycle and is 'not' synchronised between colonies. The duration of the breeding season can range from five to seven months and has been recorded for up to nine months at Seal Bay on Kangaroo Island.
Bulls do not have fixed territories during the breeding season. The males fight other males from a very young age to establish their individual positions in the male hierarchy and during the breeding season, dominant males will guard females for the right to breed with her when she comes into oestrus. A female comes into season for about 24 hours within 7 to 10 days after she has given birth to her new pup. She will only look after the new pup and generally fights off the previous season's pup if it attempts to continue to suckle from her. Male Australian sea lions are also known to kill young as an act of defence of territory.
Australian sea lions also practice alloparental care, in which an adult may adopt the pup or pups of another. This might take place if the original parents die or are for some reason separated from them. This behavior is common and is seen in many other animal species such as the elephant and fathead minnow.[2]
Population status and protection measures[edit]
About 14,730 Australian sea lions remain.[3] This number is thought to be stable or slightly decreasing.[4] The Australian sea lion population is struggling due to their long and complicated breeding cycle, high site fidelity of females, and high mortality.
Sea lions were heavily hunted following European settlement, greatly reducing their numbers. Large-scale hunting ceased in the 1920s,[4] with harvesting being banned with the introduction of the South Australian National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 which prohibited a harvest.
The Australian sea lion was listed as vulnerable under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 in 2005 and is also listed as a threatened species in each state in its range (South Australia and Western Australia). On 11 June 2013, the Recovery Plan for the Australian Sea Lion (Neophoca cinerea) was adopted by the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities. The plan considers the conservation requirements of the species across its range and identifies the actions to be taken to ensure its long-term viability in nature and the parties that will undertake those actions.[5][6]
The Australian Fisheries Management Authority Commission has also finalised the Australian Sea Lion Management Strategy which came into force on 30 June 2010 which includes closures of waters around colonies, seasonal closures, increased observation of sea lion activity and trials of modified fishing techniques and equipment. The strategy is designed to meet the commission's obligations under the Fisheries Management Act 1991 and the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. The strategy will significantly reduce the impact of fishing in the SESSF on Australian sea lions and enable the recovery of the species, including all subpopulations.[7]
Australian sea lions defecate nutrient-rich faeces which may provide an important nutrient source for coastal ecosystems. Metagenomic analysis of the bacterial consortia found in the faeces of Australian sea lions found very high levels of nutrient cycling and transport genes which may break down the nutrients defecated by sea lions into a bioavailable form for incorporation into marine food webs.[8]

Die Glocke (aka The Bell) is a part of the Nazi German occult and super-secret SS (Schutzstaffel) "wonder weapons" program during World War II that was said to be a time machine.
It's a metallica object shaped like a bell, hence the code name "Die Glocke" / The Bell. It stood 12-15 ft. tall, 9 ft. in diameter and comprised of two counter-rotating cylinders that rotated a highly radioactive substance code named "Xerum 525" (purplish liquid metal).
It is said that all the scientists and witnesses who saw or worked on the Bell were murdered by the SS to conceal any knowledge of the secret program.

Ship tailor graphics
Is it just me or has the quality of the graphics in the ship tailor decreased? As soon as you change one of the ships parts the graphics loose all sharpness. This loss of sharpness disappears as soon as you leave the ship tailor. I've tried it with multiple toons and they all suffer the same.

I think Latifah will do an excellent job of playing Bessie Smith — I just hope they get a decent script. It's sort of feast or famine with HBO.

Vijaya Baskaran's talent as a professional interpreter for the hearing impaired has inadvertently made her an advocate for the rights of persons with hearing impairment. In a chat with R. Sujatha, she recalls several facets of her interesting sojourn into a world dominated by silence.
Vijaya Baskaran has been using a form of sign language for the last 45 years. Now a trainer at Ability Foundation, she says it was the need to communicate with her two brothers and a sister who were born with profound hearing loss. "It is a matter of communication. There was no other way I could talk to them," she recalls her childhood days.
When she was ten, she was invited to interpret at a school programme.
"There is little difference between the various languages. Sign language has no grammar. It only deals with feelings and emotions," she explains. While lip reading requires undivided attention, sign language allows the hearing impaired persons to use their imagination, she says.
She trains hearing impaired candidates recruited by companies. The candidates were educated in special schools. "They tell me that they learnt English on their own by reading and not by understanding what was taught in the school," she says. "Sign language helps them understand concepts better. I interpret prayer songs also during meetings," she says.
Ms.Baskaran has conducted a training programme for police personnel at the Tamil Nadu Police Academy. There should be such programmes for doctors and lawyers also, she says. For the last 20 years, she has been an interpreter for hearing impaired women in family court proceedings.
As an interpreter, she has had to face the ire of persons she represents. A group of hearing impaired persons was upset when she could not ensure their passage by train from Kolkata to Chennai.
"They wrote out their appeal on a piece of paper and immediately the officials arranged for their journey. They asked me why I could not convey their request. Their assertiveness achieved what I could not with my skill," she says, advocating for interpreters in public functions. The government should have interpreters in public functions addressed by the Prime Minister or Chief Minister.
"In schools, we must have some classes in basic sign language. It could be taught as a playtime activity. Children enjoy games such as dumb charades, and sign language could be one of them," says Ms.Baskaran.
Her skill brought acclaim to film actor Jyothika in the film Mozhi. She also tutored Hindi film actor Kareena Kapoor for seven days for the film Chup Chupke.

Attack on SSL Users Discovered, Tool Sources Released
SSL won't come to a rest: the newest attack isn't about encryption or errors in the Secure Sockets Layer protocol, it's about the weakest link in the chain -- the user.
Moxie Marlinspike had already developed sslsniff in 2002. Based on certificate chaining, the client proxy tool intercepts HTTPS traffic from the server and switches the certificate with its own. Assuming a correct configuration and current browser, the result of its use removes any associated attack opportunities. But, asks Marlinspike, what if the client browser doesn't do any SSL queries?
That's why the San Franciscan developed a further proxy named sslstrip (see his presentation slides). The sslstrip tool searches for embedded links, such as https://.../login.php, originating from server webpages and replaces all HTTPS links with like-named HTTP links, such as http://.../login.php, while remembering the original HTTPS target. When the user clicks the modified URL, the sslstrip proxy recognizes it and opens an SSL connection with the server, which sends the webpage, albeit over a nonsecure connection.
In this way the man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacker can access all information from the connection. Such a scenario has an obvious application for online banking where only an HTTP start page might appear, but with visible SSL links and icons that give at least a visual sense of security. Often users ignore warning dialogs and click through them. In the case of an sslstrip intervention, the user doesn't even get the warning dialogs, because no apparent invalid HTTPS connection is created. His browser simply doesn't create a secure connection. The kind of MITM attacks this can provide, and how users might be totally unaware of them, is clearly indicated in Marlinspike's "New Tricks for Defeating SSL in Practice" slides.
After some wide-ranging debate last week about sslstrip, the tool is now available for download. It comprises about 1,000 lines of Python code and is under GLPv3 licensing.

As you may have already gathered from our Call of Duty: Ghosts review, PS4 is the way to play the game. But just how much better does it look on PS4 over the PS3 version?
Luckily, we took some footage of both at the review event, put them side by side and have made this video for you to judge. We think you'll agree, the differences are pretty startling.

Bacardi USA Announces New Headquarters in South Florida.
Building on Its 44 Year History in South Florida
MIAMI -- Bacardi U.S.A., Inc., the import, sales, and marketing arm of one of the world's leading wine and spirits producers, today announced it signed a long-term lease for a new headquarters at a state-of-the-art office building currently being constructed in Coral Gables, Florida.
"All of us at Bacardi U.S.A. are thrilled. One of my priorities when I became president and chief executive officer of this growing company was to unite all 300 Bacardi U.S.A. employees into one facility to further strengthen our communications, cross-functionality and teamwork," said John P. Esposito, President and CEO of Bacardi U.S.A. "We look forward to becoming a more cohesive entity as currently our employees are spread throughout seven different buildings across South Florida."

"Bacardi U.S.A. will continue to grow with new brands to import and market - making it critical we have one state-of-the-art facility as soon as possible where we all can work together, allowing us to better serve our great brands, loyal consumers and shareholders," added Mr. Esposito.
The fifteen-story, Mediterranean-styled building, which will be adorned with the Bacardi name, is located at 2701 Le Jeune Road in Coral Gables (corners of Le Jeune Road and Almeria Avenue). Bacardi is slated to utilize approximately 230,000 sq. ft of the 251,000 sq. ft. Class A office space building. The building is expected to be ready for occupancy by the end of 2008.
Bacardi is currently considering a variety of options for its properties at its Biscayne Boulevard complex, including the iconic blue and white tiled building.

Cynthia Anderson
Growing up in a rural southwest Minnesota setting made it possible for creativity to be a necessity. Through exploration, Cindy discovered there was rare beauty in the simple things. At a young age she had a calling for taking something previously used and diminished, and making it once again useful and beautiful. Throughout the years, this creativity has only increased and led her to be comfortable in almost every medium, but she has always been drawn to steel. She enrolled at a local art center in sculptural welding and began her journey in the early 90s. From 1999 to 2005, Cindy took a brief hiatus from steel, yet she continued to create through cooking, design, and painting, while raising her family.
Drawn back to steel again in 2005, she missed the textures and the rhythms of the raw steel and found objects that they take on when they become one. Cindy started incorporating kiln-formed glass into the mix after designing a piece for a client that combined both the patina of the steel with the vivid colors of the glass. She now has a substantial calling for her glass and steel work combinations. Her studio is set up to accommodate both the steel welding, cutting, and construction, as well as the glass design and firing. It's located just outside of Chaska, Minnesota, where she resides with her husband and children.
Cindy exhibits her work throughout the Midwest and Coastal United States. She does corporate and private installations. She volunteers her time with miracle kids to create works of art to be used for fundraising purposes.

LAHAINA, Hawaii (AP) - Sheldon McClellan scored 19 points from the bench to give Texas its first win in three days at the Maui Invitational, 69-55 over Mississippi State on Wednesday morning.

Julien Lewis scored 13 of his 15 points in the first half. Cameron Ridley had 8 points and 12 rebounds.
Roquez Johnson led the Bulldogs with 18 points, starting after limping off the court with help in the second half of Tuesday's loss to Marquette.

Duran Duran cancels US concert, Rhodes needs rest
ATLANTIC CITY, New Jersey – The illness of keyboardist Nick Rhodes forced the last-minute cancellation of rock group Duran Duran's Saturday night concert at Atlantic City's Revel.
The chart-topping 1980s English band has been on the road for nearly two straight years in support of their new album "All You Need Is Now," and the pace has taken its toll on Rhodes.
The casino, Atlantic City's newest, said Rhodes has been sick for a few says and saw a doctor Saturday who advised him not to perform Saturday night. In a news release, Rhodes said doctors told him he could be suffering from exhaustion.
The casino said the band is considering playing the show in the next few days, so fans should hold onto their tickets and wait for an official announcement of a re-scheduled date.
"I have struggled through the last few nights, hoping that I could simply work through this," Rhodes said. "But today I felt so unwell, I had to see a doctor.
"We absolutely hate to disappoint our incredibly loyal fans and cancel a show at the last minute, but unfortunately the doctor has strongly recommended that this is what we do on this occasion. So it is with enormous regret that we are unable to perform in Atlantic City tonight," Rhodes said.
The casino was not informed that the band would be cancelling until 7 p.m. Saturday — after many fans had already arrived with tickets.
The band is best known for their 1980s MTV videos, including "Rio" and "Girls On Film."
The show was to take place at the casino's 5,000-seat Ovation Hall.
Revel opened in April. It featured four concerts by Beyonce at its grand opening over Memorial Day weekend.

Re: can I afford to continue sailing
$1300 is obviously NOT your total boating cost
A wife that hates boats is gonna hate boats
My wife pretty much came to HATE sailing on are J24 and i can not say i blame her as it became a PITA boat as we aged from a comfort standpoint
On the other hand she LOVES the Cal 29 and so does everybody else that you could NOT PAY to go out on the J24
We are both much more happy and spend far more time together sailing than we ever have as the Cal performs well enough for me and its stable manners just make it FUN and SHE actuality plans overnight trips now as she enjoys getting away in a boat that has reasonable comforts

Legislators distance themselves from money, operations of 'Internet cafes'
TALLAHASSEE — Florida sheriffs have pleaded for years with the Legislature to close the loophole that fueled the fastest expansion of illegal gambling in decades, so-called "Internet cafes."
Legislators squabbled. Bills languished or failed. But the delay paid off — for lawmakers and the industry.

by Ryan McArthur - July has been a sad month for boxing fans the world over with the tragic passing of Alexis Arguello, Arturo Gatti and Vernon Forrest. Another former world champion laid to rest on the month of july was Belfast man John Caldwell after a long illness. Caldwells passing went unnoticed outside his native Belfast even though he was one of the greatest boxers ever to hail from the emerald isle.
The first step of his fistic journey came at the 1956 Melbourne olympics where at just eighteen years old he took home the bronze medal in the flyweight division. After compiling an extraordinary amateur record of 234-6, Caldwell embarked on what was to become a professional career that lasted over seven years and resulted in British, European, Commonwealth and world honours. The first of these honours came in front of a partisan Belfast crowd where Caldwell K.O.d Frankie Jones in the third round to lift the British flyweight title in 1960..
A year and three defences later, Caldwell beat frenchman Alphonse Halimi by points to become bantamweight champion and the island of Irelands first world champion from Rinty Monaghan in 1948.
After three succesfull defences, the latter a return with Halimi, Caldwell was off to Sao Paulo Brazil to face the legend and all time boxing great Eder Jofre. Jofre won via tenth round T.K.O. after Caldwells manager jumped into the ring to stop the bout. (The fight was refereed by the legendary featherweight Willie Pep) Caldwell later said of Jofre "he was the greatest bantamweight and the hardest hitter for his weight of all time"
The fight Belfast fans will most remember him for was the epic British and Commonwealth title fight against local rival and olympic teammate Freddie Gilroy. Caldwell was stopped on cuts in the ninth round in what was and still is regarded as the greatest fight ever staged in Ireland both north and south of the border.
Another British and Commenwealth bantamweight title came in 1964 with a T.K.O. over George Bowes but was lost again four fights later to Alan Rudkin. Caldwell fought only one more time, a points defeat at the hands of Englands Monty Laud, then retired following the bout.
As with most pugs of the 50s and 60s Caldwell didnt make alot of money from his ring career. After a few odd jobs he returned to his old job as a pipe fitter. His final and hardest battle was still to come when he was diagnosed with throat cancer, the disease that finally killed him on 11th July.
Johnny Caldwell was a true world champion in an era of great world champions, he fought probably the greatest bantamweight of all time and fought in one of the greatest battles in Irish sporting history.
R.I.P. Johnny Caldwell.

Should Coupons be Considered "Property" Under New Jersey Consumer Contract Law?
by Robert Levy
The New Jersey Supreme Court is considering an interesting legal issue at the request of the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals—whether discount restaurant gift certificates qualify as "property" under the state's consumer contract law. Given the growing popularity of websites that offer discounted coupons and gift certificates for goods and services, the court's decision could have a significant impact on New Jersey businesses.
The case, Shelton v. Restaurant.com, involves discounted restaurant coupons that purport to expire within one year, less than the two years required under the New Jersey Gift Card Act. In June 2010, U.S. District Judge Joel Pisano dismissed the case, finding the New Jersey Truth-in-Consumer Contract, Warrant, and Notice Act (TCCWNA) did not apply because the plaintiffs are not consumers under the law and the coupons are not consumer contracts.

Do you wear a life jacket?

Re: Do you wear a life jacket?
Thirty years ago I had a LoneStar-13 dinghy and hardly ever work a life jacket and often had it tucked in the cubby. Last summer I sailed a 12 foot Paceship and wore it all the time. The boat didn't seem as stable or i was not as comfortable and for the first time I capsized in the middle of the lake. The guy with me didn't have his on, but fortunately it was near by.. I say fortunately because even though the boat had positive flotation, when it filled with water we couldn't bail it out.
I think I will wear a jacket all the time now.. To me it is like a seat belt, I might only be in one accident that I needed it... I just can't predict when that will be. On a boat, you never know if the time you go in the water if you are going to crack your head on the way over...
Ironically when I am in a motor boat I don't think of wearing them, of course if there was a lot of heeling I might change my mind.
I ride in a ferry several times a year... I don't wear one then.... but I ALWAYS look for where the life jackets are stored. I would do the same on a cruise ship

Most Inherited Human Differences Not Caused By Genes: Study
Sequencing entire human genomes has rapidly become affordable, with costs now below $10,000 for each individial genome. This hitherto impossible level of understanding of individual genetic differences is seen by many researchers as a key to personalized medicine, in which each individual's own genetic predispositions will enable care tailored to that particular person.
Schork said companies providing genome sequencing can incorporate the knowledge of extra-genetic variations that influence binding into their work. But along the line of Snyder's comment, Schork said many of those associations will have to be determined experimentally, a task which has barely begun.
"This study opens up a lot of potential research avenues," Schork said. "The study in Science was done on 10 people. Wait 'til we get this information on thousands of people."
