Villarreal suffered a Copa del Rey fourth-round exit at the hands of third-tier Mirandes.
The Yellow Submarine went down 2-0 at El Madrigal against the Segunda B outfit in the second leg of their fourth-round tie to crash out of the cup 3-1 on aggregate. Pablo Infante scored both of Mirandes' goals, while Villarreal had Mateo Musacchio sent off late on.
Atletico Madrid were knocked out by Segunda Division opposition in the form of Albacete. Victor Curto scored the only goal in the first minute to seal a 1-0 win and 3-1 aggregate success.
Other shock exits saw Alcoron see off Real Zaragoza, and Real Betis go out despite victory over Cordoba. Alcoron won 2-0, with Oriol Riera and Joaquin Quini both notching in the last three minutes, for a 3-1 aggregate win.
Cordoba lost 2-1 at Betis as Jorge Molina's brace bettered Garcia Borja's effort, but the lower-ranked side progressed on away goals. Cerra saw red for Cordoba two minutes from time.
Racing sneak through
Away goals also came into play as Rayo Vallecano beat Racing Santander 4-3 at home, only to see their opponents go through after the tie ended 6-6 over the two games.
Two from Christian Stuani and one from Alexis Tziolis provided Racing with the vital three goals, while Medina Piti, Miguel Michu, Andrija Delibasic and Raul Tamudo were on target for Rayo.
Levante won their clash against Deportivo La Coruna in extra time with an eventual 4-1 win on the night. Nabil El Zhar, Sergio Ballesteros and Ruben Suarez all scored in normal time for Levante, while Depor's Pablo Alvarez also netted.
That left the scores matched after 180 minutes, leaving Arouna Kone to seal it 11 minutes into the first period of extra time. Borja was sent off for a second yellow in the closing seconds.
Malaga made to work
Another eye-catching fixture, between Malaga and Getafe, was decided when Diego Buonanotte put the former through five minutes after coming on as an 80th-minute substitute.
The score on the night was 2-2 - Willy Cabellero's own goal and Mane's effort going in after Ruud van Nistelrooy's strike - handing Malaga the tie following their earlier 1-0 win. Malaga had also coped with Weligton's sending off in the 77th minute.
A 1-1 draw was enough to see Osasuna through 4-2 overall, at the expense of La Liga rivals Almeria. Roland Lamah and Henok Goitom were on target as the game came to life in the last ten minutes.
Athletic Bilbao repeated their first-leg 1-0 win over Real Oviedo, with Ander Herrera the scorer. A 2-1 win for Granada over Real Sociedad was not enough to prevent a 5-2 defeat in the tie. Guilherme Siqueira's penalty and Alexandre Geijo's follow-up came before Imanol Agirretxe's riposte.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Sarah Shearman, campaignlive.co.uk, Tuesday, 04 December 2012 11:02AM
The high-street fashion retailer aims to bring together fashion and beauty for the interactive digital campaign.
The campaign, created in-house, features Bosworth wearing a Topshop dress and shoes, singing 'Winter Wonderland' in a film directed by Michael Polish.
It is also offering viewers the chance to download the track for free. The make-up used in the video will be available to buy from Topshop.com, while the dress and shoes will be available as made to order.
To build intrigue around the campaign, Topshop launched a series of teaser films featuring Bosworth wrapped up and the hashtag #whosthatgirl.
It also ran a competition with images of Bosworth close to iconic London landmarks with her face obscured. Those who guessed her identity had the chance to win a £500 Topshop shopping spree.
To mark the launch of the video, Bosworth sent personalised digital messages introducing the films to people registered on the Topshop database.
Justin Cooke, chief marketing officer of Topshop, said: "There is still no greater inspiration than our icons. Women have always aspired to look and feel like the stars of silver screen and we wanted to capture that emotion and the magic of Topshop to celebrate the festive season."
Cooke was the creative director behind the campaign.
This is the second major digital campaign Cooke has rolled out for Topshop since he joined from Burberry in June.

Is This An Early Effective Date Or Cue?
Posted 06 June 2011 - 07:23 PM
Subject - Application for correction of military records.
Requested Action - The applicant is requesting to have his separation code of JFL changed so he can receive benefits that have been denied him by the Veterans Administration.
Facts - Applicant was referred to the informal physical evaluation board on 14 Dec 1984, for facet syndrome, lumbar spine, with low back pain. The IPEB found member fit for duty. Member requested a hearing with counsel at the formal physical evaluation board. On Jan 18 1985 the FPEB recommended discharge with severance pay with a disability rating of 10%. The member non-curred with the FPEB and in his rebuttal to the Secretary of the Air Force (SAFPC) requested that he be given additional testing on his back. On March 25 1985 after review of the case file and proceedings from the FPEB the SAFPC recommended discharge with severance pay with a disability rating of 10%. Message was sent which established the discharge date of April 23 1985. Member served 3 years 11 months and 23 days of active service.
Discussion - Member is wishing to receive benefits from the Veterans Administration. Members dd214 form correctly reflects that member was discharged by reason of a physical disability and entitled to severance pay. JFL is the correct separation code for a person who was approved for a medical separation with severance pay.
I applied for my VA benefits while still on active duty so that I would be entitled the day after my discharge. 3 months later the VA denied my claim and now, since I have E-benefits, I see where they say that I was denied because their is no evidence in my SMR or elsewhere that I had any injury or disease during service. I have a Line of Duty determination that states my injury was caused by direct physical trauma to my lower spine while working as an aircraft mechanic in my files from the MEB investigation and over 2 years of physical therapy while on active duty. My final diagnosis was from the Chairman of the Orthopedics Department at Malcolm Grow Medical Center.
I have copies of my SMR's and Admin records that I made 26 years ago and every time in the past I tried to submit them, they would not accept them because they said that all the information was used to deny my original claim in 1985. I have been denied in 1985, 1990, 1999 and now 2009.
I am hoping that the following VA Memo regarding reconsideration of claims is in the works. VA Memo regarding reconsideration of claims
Current Diagnosis from VA med center - Major depression disorder due to uncontrollable pain (90 OXY's monthly), Chronic low back pain, MRI says herniated disc, 3 bulging discs, degenerative facet and spondylosis of entire lumbar spine. Just had C&P for hearing - hearing loss due to aircraft noise exposure, bilateral high range freq loss, bilateral tinnitus, seeing a ENT specialist this month for the discharge from ears, canal scarring and tympanic perforations first diagnosed on my initial hearing exam in 1985. Vertigo has been making my life even more miserable.
Basically, they claim that my records held no mention of a disability or injury incurred or aggravated during active duty upon discharge in 1985, Cue based on records available at the time they denied me 3 months after AF and DOD said 10% disabled and forced me out. Anyone would reasonably agree that I should have at least received a 10% rating for the disabilities based upon the appeal determination by the Secretary of the Air Force. I am not disputing medical opinion but only that I had a statutory benefit entitlement that was ignored in 1985.
Posted 06 June 2011 - 07:46 PM
You can re-open a closed claim citing that regulation if you have found new evidence to support what was denied before.
There are some additional rules on this new evidence which may allow the EED to be dated from the original filing.
Posted 06 June 2011 - 08:38 PM
You could use 3.156. I also suspect you may have a valid cue since this decision as made before the VCAA of 2000.
I would run this by an expert. (Not a VSO)
Posted 06 June 2011 - 10:59 PM
I do not know what else I could have done in order for them to have my records before they made the decision to deny my original claim. In 1990 I sent my copy of the FPEB transcript to the VA and asked for reconsideration, they replied back that the transcript was not new because the FPEB transcript was used in the 1985 ruling to deny my claim.
I have a VSO but he is not helpful, can you send an email giving me some recommendations for legal representation? I am in Kansas. I have talked with a law firm but since I have not gotten as far as to filing a NOD, I am on my own.
Posted 07 June 2011 - 07:40 AM
Posted 07 June 2011 - 08:44 AM
I am assuming you want to attack the original decision from 1985.
Could you scan that rating decision from 1985 and post it here, first editing out personal names, SS#, etc.
I would be very interested to see what they were using if they ignored all your medical evidence from your SMR.

Posted 07 June 2011 - 11:49 AM
Dear Mr. xxxx
We have carefully considered your reopened claim for service connection of hearing loss and back disability.
We have found it necessary to deny service connection for your back disability because this condition, under existing laws, cannot be classified as a disease of injury. The law allows for payment for benefits only for those disabilities which do result from disease or injury.
We do not find in your medical records or elsewhere any evidence of the existence of a hearing loss. If you have additional evidence to show your claimed condition does exist, please send it to us for consideration.
Adjudication Officer
I sent this inquiry through IRIS on August 21, 2010 and I list their response below the questions.
I think that errors were committed in 1985 and that they could be Clear and Unmistakable Errors but I am unable to determine what this is because I have never been provided a notification as to why my original claim, filed why I was still on active duty, was denied.
Can you tell me why my original claim was denied and why my direct service connection was severed?
Can you tell me why a reopened claim request was made on my behalf by the VA in 1985?
Can you tell me why the reopened claim was denied in 1985 and what existing laws were used to make the determination that my direct service connected back disability could not be classified as a disease or injury?
Can you tell me why in the 1985 letter that denied my reopened claim stated that the hearing loss, which was final and adjudicated by the Chief, USAF Physical Disability Division, HQ AFPC/DPSD and evidenced on my form 356, could not be found by the VA Adjudication Officer?
I have had a request into the Wichita VARO since September 2009 requesting a copy of my C file but to this date I have not ever received a copy of my C file to review the information from 1985.
VA IRIS Answer
This message is in response to your inquiry to the Department of Veterans Affairs on August 21, 2010, regarding your benefits. We see conflicting information regarding your original claim and there reopened claim in 1985, so we are forwarding this inquiry to our Wichita Regional Office, to research the matter, and send you the original rating decision. They will answer your questions regarding these claims.
The Air Force and VA are separate organizations. The Air Force granted service connection, but the VA didn't. The Air Force still considers those conditions to be service connected. Service connection was never severed by the VA, because it was never established by the VA.
I guess I should follow up with the IRIS question and ask for an update.
Posted 07 June 2011 - 11:53 AM
Posted 07 June 2011 - 12:38 PM
However, you can clear it up when you get your copy of the C-file.
You can request it online again and I strongly suggest you do that immediately. You can go to your VSO and request they help you in getting your C-file. It really looks fishy that you have not received it. I would lean on the VA in person if you have to to get your rightful copy of the c-file. One of these methods should work for you and it does take some time . Mine was a few months before it showed up in the mail.
Once you have your c-file then you can see exactly what the VA did or didn't.
It certainly looks like the USAF has screwed this up from the beginning.
Good Luck on this!

Before VCAA the VA just did what they felt like doing.
And remember the good old Not Well Grounded !

That NWG statute was replaced by the current. Wording since the VCAA.

Since all my SMR's were supposedly used in the original decision, the "well grounded" rule forbade me from being able to connect current health issues to those in the military. "That is not so easy since the VA depends on what "reasonable minds" would have concluded." I think any reasonable mind would have reviewed the following service medical records to figure out that they support the decision by the Secretary of the Air Force that I had a back disability:

- Subjects:Composting
Go Green: Teach Organic Composting
By Beth Newingham on April 17, 2012
- Grades: 3–5
One year, master composters from SOCWA came to our school to teach 4th grade students about organic composting. Equipment was brought in and students were split into groups to experience the art of making organic compost.
A large bucket was filled with each group's compost material and stored in the classroom for the remainder of the winter. Each student had an observation packet for monthly compost mixing days. In the spring, students made their last observation of their organic compost and spread it outside to help the flowers grow.
Thanks to Liz Waters, an awesome 4th grade teacher at my school, for sharing this idea.

Ryse: Son of Rome exclusive for Xbox One at launch
Ryse: Son Of Rome was unveiled at Microsoft's E3 conference. The next-gen title, confirmed as an exclusive launch title for XBox One, looks to us like a Gladiator meets Game Of Thrones sworplay slasher.
It sure doesn't hold back on the gore either. This third-person battle game's promotional video was full of the red stuff: arrows in eyes, lost limbs, crashing boats and slow-mo fireballs being launched from castles.

Photoshop CS4 for Photographers is an essential course for any digital photographer who wants to master the software's vast array of image enhancement techniques. Professional photographer and instructor Chris Orwig uses his own compelling images to demonstrate how the power of Photoshop can make photographers more passionate about their work. He covers many aspects of the application, such as working with RAW images, using curves and levels, making images snap, and enhancing bland photographs by converting them to black and white. Exercise files accompany this course.
In the next few movies, we will be working from the folder 11 Camera_raw, and then the subfolder Resources. Now initially what I want to do is talk about your Camera Raw Preferences. You can open up your Camera Raw Preferences by navigating to the Adobe Bridge CS4 pulldown menu and choosing Camera Raw Preferences. Now believe it not, they are actually isn't a preference here that we are going change. Yet I want to talk about a couple of more important or essential preference. Now first one is Save Image Settings in Sidecar.XMP files versus Camera Database. Now which one is best? The Sidecar XMP is best. You know that's a little text file, which says, hey, display these pixels in this way. The reason why you want to have it in that Sidecar file is because then that file will travel with your Raw file, it will simplify your overall workflow.
Now the next preference is a little bit more complicated. Apply Sharpening to All Images or Preview Images only. And it's a little bit complicated and it's a little bit debated, but let me try to distill the debate for you. Apply Sharpening to All Images basically says, actually apply the sharpening. Apply the Sharpening to the Preview says, don't apply the sharpening, but just show me what it looks like so I'm not thinking this image as really that soft and I can see that, yeah, it's pretty sharp. Now why would you choose one option over the other? It has to do with capture and has to it output sharpening. Now there are those who say you only want to sharpen right before output. In that case, let's just see the preview of the sharpening, not the actual sharpening, a preview of it and you know what? I'll do my sharpening at the final step of my workflow. On the other hand, there are those like myself who say you know what? The camera sharpening is so good and it's so subtle, I want to actually apply some of that sharpening to my captured file initially, and then I'm going to work on the file, and also apply some sharpening for my output sharpening as well. So I'm going to go ahead and leave that to All Images. Now the preferences for default and Camera Raw and DNG File Handling, we are going to leave those all as is.
Another important conversation has to do with JPEG and TIFF file handling. Now there are three options here. We can either disable the JPEG or the TIFF support, and what that means is we would not be able to open up TIFFs and JPEGs with Adobe Camera Raw. Now why would you choose this? I don't know. Because in my opinion there is certain things you can only do with Camera Raw, you can't do anywhere else. So you definitely want to have that flexibility. But if you know you are never, ever going to open up JPEGs or TIFFs, with Camera Raw, select Disable JPEG support. On the other hand, the default setting is Automatically open JPEGs with settings. What this means is, it says if you have applied Camera Raw settings to JPEG, then remember that and open that up with Camera Raw.
Now the last option says you know what? I don't really care if this image has ever been processed with Camera Raw, open it up. So for the JPEG or TIFF, we want that bad boy opened up in Camera Raw every time. Now in my opinion the best option is the middle option. Because what this option says is, you know what? sometimes, yeah, I'll open up my JPEGs and TIFFs in Camera Raw, but not all the time. But sometimes I will. And I'll show you a few shortcuts which can help you figure out how you can open up your files even more successfully. So let's leave this one on the default setting, Automatically open JPEGs with settings. Now because we have finished our Camera Raw Preference conversation with file handling, and how we can open different files, probably it would be pretty good to talk about how we can actually open files and what are some of the shortcuts and different techniques we can use for opening our files in Camera Raw and we will talk about that in the next movie.

RNA and Disease Mini-Symposium
May 30, 2013
Bldg 549 Conference Center
Cellular functions depend on numerous protein-coding and non-coding RNAs and their associated proteins within ribonucleoprotein complexes. Mutations disrupting any of these components, or factors mediating their assembly, structure, or function, can be deleterious. Alternative splicing endows on cells the capacity to fine-tune their transcriptome and proteome in response to cues. Splicing depends on a complex code, numerous RNA-binding proteins and an enormously intricate network of interactions among them, increasing the opportunity for exposure to mutations and mis-regulation that cause disease. The discovery of disease-causing mutations in RNAs is yielding a wealth of new therapeutic targets, and the growing understanding of RNA biology and chemistry is providing new RNA-based tools for developing therapeutics. With these issues in mind, the Center of Excellence in HIV/AIDS and Cancer Virology is sponsoring a 1-day "RNA and Disease" mini-symposium on May 30, at NCI-Frederick, combining a series of talks from experts in the extramural field with short presentations highlighting research programs of selected CCR researchers. Invited speakers include:
|Paloma Giangrande
|University of Iowa
|Peixuan Guo
|University of Kentucky
|Adrian Krainer
|Cold Spring Harbor laboratory
|Judy Lieberman

Fall 2015
Matter that Matters? Interrogating New Materialisms
In the Fall of 2015, the Center for the Humanities at Wesleyan University will take up the theme of "Matter." Matter has long been an issue in the humanities, be it in the language of materialism, of material culture, of substance, or of science. For a long time, idealisms of all stripes have subordinated non-human matter to the ambitions and extensions of human thought. Materialisms, on the contrary, have traditionally seen matter itself as what matters: as what determines the shape and conditions of human life. More recent developments have sought to level down the cosmic hierarchies from theology to humanism by proffering a "flat ontology" wherein all matter "matters" equally. After decades of deconstructive undermining, reliance on the old Cartesian subject seems to finally have given way to a proliferation of often mutually incompatible post-Humanist theories whose desire to generate new forms of inquiry stem from a profound discontents with the Humanities and sciences having cultivated predominantly representational modes of knowledge. We see aspects of this in fields as diverse as material-culture studies, Animal(ity) Studies, Object-Oriented Ontology, commodity histories and various approaches to "things," and in Speculative Realism with its anti-Kantian pathos of knowing the thing-in-itself. Thus new emphases on the significance of substance and thingness -- and even the agency of matter as such -- have emerged across fields and disciplines. Of course, attention is also being drawn to the determination of what exactly matters and how to assess this. To put it simply, current contemporary thought insists that matter be given its due. Arguments within and across theoretical traditions seem to have converged, if only momentarily, on a vague but palpable sense that matter as such should be recognized: recognized as one subject recognizes another. It is not clear, however, whether the numerous articulations of this turn are working in tandem or at cross-purposes, how they can be mapped in relation to one another, or whether any of them manages to escape the subjectivist and hierarchical ontologies they criticize.
We seek to explore this convergence by bringing scholars from multiple fields and approaches into conversation around "matter." We are interested in specific questions of method (for instance, modes of observing, measuring, speculating) as much as in meta-questions about the meaning and the consequences of this newly arisen fervor about matter. We invite applications from scholars, scientists, and artists whose work is concerned with old and new materialisms; we also encourage applications from scholars pursuing critiques of precisely these materialisms.
Spring 2016
"Comparison" as a Mode of Inquiry in the Post-Comparative World
Comparison as a mode of scholarly inquiry has long been under question, be it as "cultural comparison" in the field of anthropology or the explicit nationalist frameworks of "comparative literature" and "comparative history." Thus the turn to the transnational, the global or world, and even the local seems to imply that scholarship has entered a "post-comparative" phase. In the spring semester of 2016, we return to comparison as a mode of inquiry, a method, or an analytic. We seek to interrogate the utility of a comparative logic uncoupled from the previous paradigms. But we also intend to investigate the ways in which the logic of comparison or its suppositions—implicit or explicit—might still guide analysis in a "post-comparative" moment.
Are comparisons a constitutive element of social order and of historical change? Have they always been so? Since at least the sixteenth century, worldwide comparisons have been interpreted as a form of imagined relations that produce the "world as a whole" by comparing heterogenic, seemingly non-commensurable, and formerly separate cultures and regions. But has a sense of "the global" been shaped by comparative descriptions? Is "comparison" necessarily linked to an insufficiently defined notion of a larger "whole" that predetermines the comparative framework and the results of such an analysis? Should we think of the world as a bundle of constitutive parts or discrete zones of comparison?
We will explore comparison as a mode of observing, defining, and creating parts and wholes through different patterns, media, and standards. We are interested in the use of comparison in specific disciplinary fields and in regard to specific topics (world literature of travel and exploration, comparisons of cultures or cultural forms, metaphors of trans- or cross-, comparisons of national forms of capitalism, global wars, narratives of progress, crimes against humanity) but also at the meta-level of imagining how "comparison" undergirds questions of heterogeneity and particularity, convergence and disjuncture, difference and hierarchy, self and other, commensurability, as well as temporality

It disgusts me that you are even in this situation right now because you're so young. You said it yourself, you are 11 years old, at 11 years old the farthest thing I had on my mind was sex. I'm not trying to be mean, but the answer is no you're not old enough to have sex. A million times, no. Wait till you're older, it will be more special when you're ready, and not just doing it because he says he wants to. Also he's 14, it's might be hard to stomach this but he I highly and I mean highly doubt he means what he says in respect to having a family. You guys are too young to understand the responsibility that comes with sex and supporting a family. Don't do it, because you'll regret it, I say this with the best of intentions, only looking out for you.

Hello there.
First let me say you're 11 years old. You should focus on school, playing outside, and being with friends not sex and creating a family. The both of you are really young, way too young to have kids since y'all are just kids yourself. Please put the thought of children far out of your mind. You may think that it's sweet that he wants to be with you and become a family, but y'all can wait. If he loves you, he'll wait. Also, once that baby gets here it'll be here and there will be no turning back it won't be just about you and him anymore y'all will have a baby to raise. It's even stressful for adults I don't think y'all are ready for a baby. It's cute but it's real and it'll change your whole life. I hope this helps you

well i admire you want to start a family, but you're a little young in the most important categories: 1. you're way to young to even have sex. 2. you're too young to possibly even concieve a child. 3. you're too young to have a family, enjoy you're childhood, and lastly you're both WAY too young to support a child, you'd have to throw away you're education and future careers, and everything you earn will go to the baby, if it's successfully born, so in the sum of all this, no, you are not old enough.

Ask LoveBurner44 A Question
answered Wednesday October 10 2012, 9:33 am:
I'm going to start by saying you may not like my answer either. At 11 years old you are not only to young to be having sex, your body may not be able to conceive a child.
Both you and your boyfriend are too young to be thinking along these lines. While it is nice to think about having a baby and living with your man in most states you would not be allowed to do so by law.
If you were to get pregnant your not even old enough, by law to make any decisions as to whether you continue the pregnancy, give the baby up for adoption if you do or have an abortion. These decisions would be made by your parents. Your boyfriend and his parents would have no say in the matter.
Given the fact that your boyfriend is 3 years older than you. If you were to become pregnant by him; he could be in legal trouble for getting you pregnant because he is 3 years older than you. Fact is by law in some states you could be violating the law by dating.
I'm not saying this to scare you or to be mean Fact is you are way to young to be dating. You are 2 years away from being a teenager and even then you should not be in an exclusive relationship.
I know the world has changed since I was your age. But somethings have not changed and never will. What has not changed is that all of us need time to grow and more mature. This is what childhood and your teenage years are all about. Learning about the world we live in while we have the security of our home and family to protect us.
You may not fully understand what I have written but trust that I have your best interest at heart. You may be a very mature 11 year old but you are not as mature as your boyfriend. In the three year difference in age he has experienced a lot more than you have and I fear he is taking advantage of you sexually or at least trying too.
While I know this is not something you want to talk to your parents about I believe you should. They need to know what this boy is trying to do and to help him get the help he needs. For if you say no he will try and find someone else who will say yes to him maybe someone younger than you.
I'm thinking your boyfriend just may be a sexual predator in the making. This is the only reason I can see for him dating an 11 year old. So please talk to your parents or a trusted teacher.

At 11 years old, you're not even considered a teenager yet. Your body is still growing and developing. In my opinion, you are way too young to be considering having sex, let alone having a child. In fact, there are possible serious complications that can result from becoming pregnant at such a young age. Technically, you're still a child yourself. You still have so much to do and accomplish in your life, and having a child will prevent you from doing a lot of those things. You have plenty of time to have a child. Please don't think you need to rush.

Madagascar gets biggest protected area
August 17, 2012

Makira Natural Park covers some 372,470 hectares (1,438 square miles) — an area larger than the state of Rhode Island — of forest in northeastern Madagascar, the most biodiverse part of the island nation. Makira was granted temporary park status in 2005 but is now officially designated as a protected area.
Management of Makira will be partially funded by the sale of carbon credits under the REDD+ (Reduced Emissions through Deforestation and Forest Degradation) program, a global framework that aims to compensate tropical countries for protecting their forests. The establishment of Makira will avoid an estimated 31 million tons of carbon emissions over 30 years. Half the proceeds from the sale of carbon offsets are returned to local communities living in and around the protected area.

Christopher Holmes, Director of WCS's Madagascar Program, said Makira could become a model for conservation projects elsewhere.
"Not only does Makira protect the largest remaining tract of the island's rainforest, but it is a demonstration of a new model for integrated conservation in Madagascar where local communities – de facto stewards of the forest resources – become partners with the State in protected area management."

Makira is a significant contribution towards Madagascar's Durban Vision, which was laid out in 2003 to set aside 10 percent of the island's land mass in protected areas. Makira lies across Antongil Bay from Masoala National Park, another key conservation priority. However in recent years both parks have suffered from incursions by illegal loggers seeking rosewood and ebony (Gibson Guitar was recently busted trafficking in Madagascar ebony). Logging has been associated with a rise in the commercial bushmeat trade. Lemurs are particularly targeted in some areas.
Outside of the northeast, Madagascar's forests are diminishing due to clearing for subsistence agriculture and cattle grazing. On drier parts of the island, vast swathes of endemic forest have been chopped down for charcoal production. Mining is also have an impact in some areas. Most of Madagascar's population is desperately poor, although communities are generally be better off near protected areas where ecotourism creates demand for guides, lodging, and other services. Tourism accounts for more than 6 percent of the economy.

Separated from mainland Africa for some 160 million years, 80% of Madagascar's native flora and fauna are unique. While the island is most famous for its lemurs, it is also home to a variety of other animals, including the fossa, a carnivorous mammal that looks like a cross between a puma and a dog but is closely related to the mongoose; an otter-like tenrec; hundreds of species of frogs; and the world's richest assemblage of chameleons.

Discussion in 'Fly Fishing Forum' started by Gertie's Pa, Aug 19, 2008.
Amen Brother. Couldn't a said it better.
No offense, you have a really "seems and appears" post. Have you been to a CCA meeting?
If you had, you would know that all of the points you bring up are grave concern to us all (CCA members). But, you gotta show up. You might find others that are way ahead of you.
I don't know a single CCA member, gear or fly head that wants to see hatched fish stray, take up wild fish habitat or further dilute the gene pool (1/16 wild ain't cuttin' it.).
carefully step back and observe what is happenning with this thread.
first there is the excitement of listenning to the stump speech of mr loomis, gives a person goose bumps
next we wonder what is happenning 'cause nothing is being shared.
then we find out why, vetting yur ideas before going to bat
followed by, '...those ain't my objectives, how come mine are not the top priority......'
and this exact series of events is exactly why the sport fishing community does not have a unified voice and has totally failed to gain any traction with the political forces to be.
I bet the commercial fisheries have a unified voice, a bullet statement that all of them use to its fullest extent so that they can operate at will on the fish in the open waters before they return to where you and i happen to attempt to make our recreational chance encounters. Therein lies the million...maybe billion dollar question, how can the recrational fishermen create that one stance to represent all of our interests?
Yeah, I know. No goose bumps here.
It does where I come from; and, it works. Man, Give it a flippin' chance.
the answer is no, but when i move back to washington in the next few months i'll likely check one out. honestly though, shouldn't there be enough information on the regional web site to get a good idea about the positions of the organization, especially when that organization is actively trying to gain members?
in theory, most people don't. but cca's own website promotes increasing hatchery plants by 70% (see quote from prior post). what impacts do you think adding all those fish will have to straying fish and gene dilution? if not a "single cca member" wants that, why do they take the position of increasing hatchery plants by 70%?
and to those who state that sportfishermen should have a unified voice in allocation battles, i would agree. i think cca will likely be successful in reducing non-tribal commercial harvest, which is a positive. don't get me wrong, harvest does play a role and i support reducing it across the board (all harvesters).
the issue isn't always black and white, with us or against us. bringing up issues we have with conservation groups is not a bad thing, and doesn't always mean that sportfishermen are always divided... but it shows a diversity among us because most of us are not in the "sportfishing" industry so some value wild fish over opportunity and others want fish to catch. some want more harvest in saltwater areas, some want more of those fish to harvest in the river. some want fly-fishing only and others like to fish at blue creek.
and the commercial fishing industry has not always been united. the upriver fishers fought downriver fishers, non-tribal fought tribal fishermen. ballot initiatives were passed banning certain gear types. certainly not a love-in, and makes the differences between sportfishermen seem tame in comparison. fly-fishing vs gear fishing aint got nothing on gillnets vs fish wheels.
A few issues from an unrelated TU meeting last fall in Spokane concerning the Spokane River/redband trout that gave me some perspective on other issues.
In attendance/speakers were WDFW biologists, WDFW game wardens, TU chapter and an Avista biologist. They all gave good informative talks, but no one spilled the beans. They all gave the public info. Avista was very guarded, mostly due to recently and pending law suits. Later I ran into someone from that meeting and he talked to me a great length. It appears that there was a deal in the works for some time between Avista and unnamed parties to improve redband habit and to monitor/increase flows at critical times. The deal was out of the spot light and basicly done when organizations from out of the area decided to file law suits against Avista to "improve" the Spoakne River. Avista pulled everything of the table and all that work went for not. Now still in the court system and nothing positive has been done to improve the river or habitat.
So I am completely on board with not standing from the top of the highest building shouting what your intentions are. It only helps your opponents.
The biologists and wardens both confirmed that if people are not allowed to fish and harvest some fish that interest drops. The support for any projects drops off dramaticly. As counter productive as it seems sometimes it does make sense.
gt, we have heard your skepticism repeatdly. If you have found a better option let us know, if not??? The one issue I would agree with you is that there is not national unified voice such as NRA. This is critical that we have an organization with enough presence to make people listen, having a face to the organization also helps.
sadly, LD, no, i have not found an organization which i can support which is focused on the issues of most concern to me regarding anadramous fishes.
i am not privy to the inner workings of CCAPNW, nor should i be. the fact that vetting is happening behind closed doors is a good thing and we can all continue to hope that something beneficial will result. until those inner workings become public statements or better yet, actions, i will remain a skeptic. too many other groups have made claims and they have all failed and that is exactly where my skepticism began. CCAPNW can delightfully prove me wrong.
my three agenda items for real change to occur are:
- removing all nets. nets kill indiscrimently no matter who deploys them, all nets mean exactly that, commercial fishing is commercial fishing no matter your lineage;
- leveling the playing field among all commercial interests. this means full disclosure of catch by everyone with a single entity overseeing this data which would be available for pulbic examination;
- laying out a strategy for becoming a player on the decision making bodies. NOF sets limits and seasons WITHOUT input from sport fishing or sport equipment interests sitting at the table. ALL commissions set up by the gov are vested in commercial fishing, that has to be balanced.
tinkering around the edges, from my perspective, is a waste of time, talent and resources. a clear identification of the pinnacle issue(s) may be going on, lets hope, and at that point all talent and resources should be marshalled toward that pinnacle objective.
when that is made public by CCAPNW we will all know how on target this new group may be in helping to solve a critical problem.
Unless, of course, going for the whole apple in the beginning would be political/popular suicide.
Say that CCA wanted to get rid of all commercial fishing. Do you really think it would be a good idea for them to announce that as their mission statement? How in the world are they going to get enough political and popular support in a state like washington to make that happen?
Even if that was their goal (which I do not believe it is), it would be better to hide some of their their cards until they had the political might to make it happen. To do otherwise would be the REAL waste of time, talent, and resources.
I'd rather see CCA build political will and membership by attacking stuff like ghost nets and derelict crab pots to start with. Actions everyone can get behind. build the ranks up then tear down the walls. None of this happens overnight.
Good points Josh.
There are things about Gary Loomis' song and dance that I didn't agree with and some I completely oppose. One choice is to not join. On the other hand, CCA's methods of using legislative and legal processes appear potentially more effective at achieving some of what I think needs to occur so that I'm willing to support them even if they're not the "perfect fit" with my interests.
I agree with that statement. A friend and I were essentially arguing with him and the other CCA representative at his last CCA bellingham presentation. His "facts" seemed fairly disingenuous on some issues and that annoyed me.
However, since then I have learned more about CCA and their goals, I've watched the work that people Like Jason are putting in, and I have grown more supportive of the organization and it's concept.
Gary is a great rabble-rouser and stump-speaker (and to be honest, a heck of an interesting guy), but thankfully CCA has other people doing the science and the planning.
I don't think that your thoughts and feelings are all that far out from what we, at least in the North Sound CCA chapter, think. The beauty of CCA is that if something is important to you, people listen. This is not just a bunch of idiots that are devoid of the capacity to accept new ideas. If it's a good one and makes sense, then it gets discussed, run on up the flag pole to CCA at a State level where it is reviewed and, if indicated, pursued. Nets are not going completely away. However, a particularly destructive method, i.e. - gill netting, is under attack by CCA right now.
One of my questions at a CCA meeting where Frank Haw (sp?), CCA Government Relations, spoke was related to Steelhead. I think the fact that there is no consideration at NOF relating to the impacts and potential bycatch of our ESA-listed wild Steelhead given the Sockeye/Chinook netting schedules on the Skagit is completely ludicrous.
I was personally pleased with his response.
it would be stupid of me to think i understand the strategies that are being discussed at the state level by CCA.
what i do know, however, is while fairly 'minor' issues (ghost nets and derelict crab pots) are consuming limited resources and person power, our anadramous fish continue toward extinction. i do believe there is a sense of urgency here. we don't have 5 or 10 years to strategize, build coalitions and make everyone feel like they are a part of the action.
mr loomis was more than willing to rail on about commercial gill netters, but when i pointed out that the native americans were also gill netting, the phone went silent. that is the sort of limited vision i can't support. politically, taking this on is dynamite, everyone knows that, but someone better light this fuse before many more distinct runs of anadramous fish go extinct, maybe tomorrow. the appropriate federal laws are in place to make this happen, what is missing is the political will.
If anybody had the bollocks to go after the nets, ALL the nets, and quit tapdancing, I'd be writing checks measured by K's not fins.
So start your own group and do just that.
Talk is cheap and easy.
Good points again Josh.
Borrowing from a reply to a friend this morning, I mentioned,
". . . consider that the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time. What I mean is that it's not likely the Commission is very open to such a radical change . . . I think it's beneficial to support that as an intermediate goal while keeping your eye on the long term prize . . . It appears that it is an integral part of human nature to be more receptive to incremental changes than to radical or large scale changes. I think it is wise to exploit human nature in one's strategy to change human behavior."
GT has mentioned several times that all netting needs to stop, and it needs to stop now, or salmon and steelhead will go extinct. Even if he is correct, it won't matter if the number of people who will support and act on his view are few in number. From what I have observed since former Senator Slade Gorton's 1984 attempt to ban treaty Indian gillnetting, the necessary support simply does not exist. So long as it does not exist, is there a next best alternative and if so, what is it? Harping on endlessly about a perceived single course of action that society has demonstrably rejected seems like wasted energy to me. It's primary if not only potential reward is perhaps being able to say, "I told ya' so."
CCA's process is deliberative and uses methods that have been demonstrated to be effective. That's not to say that the same process and methods will surely work in the PNW, however, they appear more likely to be so than most efforts I've watched and participated in. And here again we have anglers diverging and resisting supporting an organization because it isn't exactly like their preferred choice. That has been the perennial problem that has kept sport fishing from being an effective lobbying and legislative force. Having organizations that are exactly how we want them to be results in many "organizations of one" or no more than a few, legislatively speaking. CCA understands and uses the benefits of representing many. That limits the range of what it can do because it cannot possibly be exactly right for the masses. But if anglers will accept and support an organization that partly represents their views, they are far more likely to experience some degree of success that has been otherwise elusive.

Dear Dr. Citori,
I can't tell if I should join CCA or not. How can I be sure they will fix all the problems us fishermen face - nets, declining runs, short seasons, endangered species, global warming, international high seas unrestricted seasons, and hemorrhoids? I think I need to see results before I can commit the funds and resources to join.
Can't poop, and can't get off the pot.
Dear Poop,
I hope you don't ever need brain or open heart surgery, and want your Dr. to heal you before you decide to pay him. CCA is a bunch of guys just like you who have decided that restoring fish runs is worth one more try, and have made the decision to write the $25 check instead of buying that electric bobbin threader retractor attachment this month. Those guys, like me, have decided that they are going to get off the pot, and do something rather than just sit there and wait for their legs to fall asleep. No one else has been able to accomplish much, but with over 5,000 other members, at least we are in good company. Besides, those CCA guys throw a damn skippy banquet and auction every year!
My advice is to get your ass off the pot, write the check, and make it happen instead of waiting for someone (no one) else to do it for you.
No one says it so well as Citori.
:thumb::rofl::rofl::rofl::thumb: Thanks - I needed a laugh before the weekend hit!

This is easy, only a couple of ways. The longer way take Lockwood valley road west to the 33 north to the 166 west and you will hit the 101 at Santa Maria, then south on the 101. Or when you hit the 33 so south and hit the 101 in Ventura then north up the 101. For a nicer, backroads ride, go south on the 33 from Lockwood, then west on the 150 just south of Ojai. Before you get back to the 101 at Carpentria, take a right at the "Y" and follow this road all the way to santabarbra. Its not one solid road, its a series of different backroads so you will have to make several turns at stopsigns. Just follow the signs, its highway (or state route) 198 or something. Mostly right turns as you head west.
edit: this is all highway, not sure if you want dirt.

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, March 21, 2005 Every vehicle that moves into Iraq from Kuwait has the necessary armor protection, according to the Army commander in Kuwait in charge of the military's movement into and out of Iraq.
"As far back as October 2004 ... we have not driven a vehicle into Iraq from Kuwait that has not had some form of armor protection on it, either Level 1, Level 2 or the hardening, the steel plating on what we call Level 3," said Lt. Gen. Stephen Whitcomb, coalition forces land component commander, Kuwait, during a March 20 "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer" interview.
Of the three forms of armor being used to reinforce the Humvees going into Iraq, Level 1 is the "top of the line" Whitcomb said. It is a factory-produced vehicle that provides 360-degree protection to its occupants.
Level 2 is a factory-produced kit, and provides ballistic glass for front and side windows. It does not, however, offer protection for the top or bottom of the vehicle.
Whitcomb called the Level 3 protection "a bridge to get to Levels 1 and 2." It is add-on steel plating, and does not provide protection for the windows.
And though he agreed that after two years in the theater the Army is not where it ought to be, he said he views the up-armoring of the Humvees a success.
"This fleet was not designed, nor were any of our wheeled vehicles designed, to have armoring on it because it was a different war back then," Whitcomb said. "So the success has been going from 2003 with a handful of Level 1 up-armored Humvees to what we have today, which is in excess of 7,000."
While the up-armoring is needed for troops to safely perform their missions, it isn't foolproof. In fact, it may be partially responsible for more than a dozen deaths this year, the general said. Already in the first 10 weeks of this year, 14 soldiers have been killed in rollover accidents that may have been a result of the armor.
Whitcomb said that some of those accidents might be attributed to the driving conditions in Iraq. He said the roads are very narrow and there are lots of canals. He also cited speed as a possible factor.
But he allowed that it could simply be the fact that soldiers are not used to driving the heavy vehicles.
"(Lt.) Gen. J.R. Vines, the Multinational Corps commander, and Gen. (George) Casey, the Multinational Force commander in Iraq, have asked that we look at driver training and any kind of capabilities in the vehicle that might cause rollovers," Whitcomb said.
Whitcomb also said body armor is not an issue, denying that there is any prejudice between active and Guard or Reserve troops when it comes to issuing the armor. It's all the same top-of-the-line equipment, he said.
"There's no difference between what a soldier gets, be it an active soldier or a National Guard or Army Reserve soldier or a Marine or the other soldiers," Whitcomb said. "The operational requirements are determined by the guy on the ground. ... We don't look at a patch when we issue that type of equipment."
The same blind eye is applied to units when it comes to up-armoring the Humvees, he said.
Up-armoring and personal armor are just pieces of a larger puzzle to protect servicemembers from improvised explosive devices. After evaluating tactics, the military has developed technology to allow early detection and detonation of IEDs.
"It runs the gamut from being able to detect changes in the earth that occur over time to being able to, as I say, pre-detonate and those types of technological solutions," Whitcomb said. He declined to go into further detail regarding the technology.
Blitzer, quoting Illinois Sen. Richard Durbin, brought up the issue of alleged tourniquet shortages.
Whitcomb quickly dispelled any such notion, saying that every soldier has basic tourniquets.
The military has been working on finding tourniquets that don't require specialized training and can be used by the victim without doing more damage. He said there should be 170,000 of those types of tourniquets in the theater by this summer.
And while reports have hinted at Kuwait's growing impatience with the significant presence of U.S. troops, Whitcomb said that is not the case.
"I don't think they're necessarily shifting their attitude," he said. "I just think they're open for discussion with our government on how we position ourselves in this region, not only now for today's contingencies, but also for the future."

Eyelids (Blepharoplasty)
Upper lids – the 'Bright Eyes' procedure
It is important to understand that laxity around the eyes is not actually caused by excess skin – you don't suddenly develop more skin around the eyes as you age, even though it may look that way. What actually happens, is that the support layer beneath the skin looses its attachment to the face's internal structure, which causes it to sag. Instead of the skin curving into a neat fold above the eye, it droops over where the curve used to be.
The aim of quality blepharoplasty surgery is to bring the skin back to where it was before, to a nice, clean fold above the eye. The tarsal fixation technique performed by Dr Mendelson does exactly that. It returns the skin to its natural position prior to ageing and provides a natural result.
We call this our 'bright eyes' procedure because it brings freshness and life back to flat, dull eyes which have lost their expression under a layer of droopy skin. This is probably the most common problem of middle age and the main contributor to that much disliked look of 'tiredness' that comes with ageing.
The Procedure: Tarsal Fixation
Surgery to the upper lids restores an attractive contour above the eye, so the shape is again revealed and the eyes look bright and full of life.
The only way to naturally restore the eye's appearance is to re-attach that skin, which again reveals a nice clean skin fold above the eye. This is the 'tarsal fixation technique' – the name demonstrates that it recreates the skin's internal fixation which was lost in ageing. It requires only a short incision concealed in the eyelid crease which heals so perfectly it is undetectable within four months, even with the eyes are closed.
The procedure takes an hour in Day Surgery and is virtually painless, with only modest post-operative swelling (it looks as if you have a slight allergy) which resolves in the third week. After that, the depressing problem of 'tired eyes' has been handled and for most patients that is a profound relief.
A note of caution. As in all facial surgery, skin must never be pulled or stretched, as it can lead to distortion and scarring. Unfortunately, this outdated way of operating – skin pulling – is still being performed and is frequently performed on the upper lids. Pulling skin more tightly and then cutting the excess skin does not address the cause of the problem and will not produce a lasting, scar-free or natural result. It is not recommended for patients who want a quality, natural, lasting result.

Atlantic ContrastsNorthern waters have amazing scenery - glaciers falling into the sea, geysers, volcanoes and fjords
Northern waters contain some of the world's most amazing scenery – glaciers falling into the sea, geysers, volcanoes and fjords. Our August cruise from Newcastle takes it all in, from Greenland to Norway's Western Fjords, from Ny Aalesund on Svalbard 600 miles from the North Pole to the Faroe Islands. Fred. Olsen say this will be the last time they visit Greenland or Svalbard, so visit these distant and spectacular places now before it is too late.
Greenland's south eastern coast is in places even more spectacular than the Alps, with mountains like the Dolomites and the vast expanse of the Greenland Ice Cap. Our three ports of call give us a taste of this great sparsely populated land.
Our other cruises mix and match destinations in Norway, Iceland and the Faroe Islands.
Iceland is not just the land of ice and fire that many imagine – it is warmed by the gulf stream and has surprisingly mild weather in summer and early autumn. We walk where the European and American continents meet, creating a landscape with the appearance of a crevassed glacier. There are lakes, waterfalls and hot springs, as well as birdwatching opportunities. Elsewhere our walks take us to more remote areas unique to this country such as Akureyri, Isafjordur, Seydisfjordur and Eskifjordur on the east coast.
Different cruises call into Runavik and Torshavn in the Faroe Islands from where we include fine walks between remote villages with views across the sea to neighbouring islands. We also sample Norway's beautiful coast, fjords and mountains, as well as the lovely city of Bergen.
Please do check the individual itineraries for your chosen date as the UK departure ports and individual ports of call on each cruise vary!
Fred.Olsen adopts smart casual dress code
Fred. Olsen has altered its dress code to allow for a smart casual option. There will still be formal nights on selected evenings, but the relaxed dress code will apply on all other nights. This means men can wear open necked shirts, chinos and dark coloured jeans, and women a dress or casual separates.
Drinks Inclusive package
A Drinks Inclusive Package is available for £10 per person per night but must be added at the time of booking. Prices may vary so please check details at the time of booking.
The offer includes bar drinks such as wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks (but not cocktails, premium drinks, minibar drinks, room service or events such as an additional afternoon tea visit).
Early Booking Cabin Upgrades
Book more than 6 months ahead of departure and receive a complimentary upgrade from a Balcony cabin to a Balcony Suite.
NOT available for the 02 August 2015 departure.
- The vast expanse of the Greenland Ice Cap
- Iceland - where the European and American continents meet
- Norway's beautiful coast, fjords and mountains

The East Anglia region
The area of Wroxham is actually made up of two Broads villages - Wroxham and Hoveton, separated by the famous 17th Century low bridge spanning the River Bure. Wroxham is today often referred to as the 'Capital of the Norfolk Broads' and is an ideal location to stay with numerous waterside and local places to eat and drink within a short two minute walk of your cottage.
Wroxham was the home of the hire-boat industry back in the Victorian times and the town still retains much of the elegance and charm from this period as well as still being one of the main centres of boating on the Norfolk Broads. If you would like to enjoy Wroxham and the surrounding Broads by water it is easy to hire a boat by the hour, half day, day or longer - all located within two minutes walk from your cottage. A short boat trip will take you to Wroxham Broad where it is possible to watch beautiful traditional Norfolk yachts racing, many dating back to the mid 1900's.
In the town itself is located 'Roys of Wroxham', which claims to be the 'largest village store in the country'. Offering all of the shopping delights of a large department store combined with a supermarket, there is a good choice of local produce on sale, making a welcome change from the normal large chain stores.
Exploring a little further afield, the sandy Norfolk beaches are easily accessible within a 15 minute drive or you can enjoy the shopping delights and tourist attractions offered by Norfolk's historic city of Norwich.
