BEIRUT: A former Syrian parliament member and three members of his family were killed Sunday in a rebel-held area near the northern city of Aleppo, the state news agency SANA reported.
It said "terrorists," the term the Syrian government uses for rebels, fired at Ibrahim Azzouz's car in Sheik Said neighborhood near the city's airport, killing him along with his wife and their two daughters.
Rebels captured the strategic Sheik Said neighborhood southeast of Aleppo on Saturday. It was a significant blow to regime forces because the area includes the road the army has used to supply troops.
Troops loyal to Assad and rebels have been locked in a deadly stalemate in Aleppo, Syria's largest urban center and main commercial hub, since an opposition assault last summer. Seven months later, the rebels hold large parts of the city and its outskirts, including several army bases, but they have been unable to overcome the regime's far superior firepower.
More than 60,000 people have been killed since the uprising against Assad rule erupted in March 2011.
The Britain-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which opposes the regime, said government troops bombarded a building in in Aleppo's rebel-held neighborhood of Eastern Ansari and killed at least 11 people, including five children.
The Aleppo Media Center, a network of anti-regime activists in the city, said 15 people were killed in the shelling of Eastern Ansari. An amateur video released by the group showed a building reduced to a pile of debris with dozens of people digging through the rubble in search for survivors.
"The family of the man over there is still under the rubble," a man could be heard saying, referring to a man standing in the area.
The video appeared genuine and corresponded to other AP reporting on the events depicted.

My mom and I went up in mid-June midweek (after seeing a story about the Inn in Sunset magazine) during the week and had an excellent stay. The property is out of the way (while still being a short drive from town) and very quiet. We bot like to relax and read, so the quiet was much appreciated. The cabins are decorated very nicely with a lot of extra touches and the private deck was great. The grounds are very pretty and there are squirrels and birds in abundance (it is a certified National Wildlife Foundation habitat and a member of Green Hotels). The lounge in the barn has teas, coffees, games, movies, whatever you need to occupy your time. The cabins have mini-fridges, microwaves, dishes and silverware – even wine glasses and a corkscrew. The staff are friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back.

The government has dispatched a team to survey the famine situation in Turkana county. The drought has affected at least 400,000 people. More than 35,000 children are out of school due to the drought.Most school children have dropped out to join their parents in the search for water and food.
Turkana county Disaster Management executive Charles Lokioto yesterday said the team will put in place intervention measures. He said children are the worst affected by the famine. Some families have migrated to Uganda to seek food and pasture for livestock.
So far more than 30,000 pastoralists have crossed the border into the neighbouring country and more are on the move. The worst affected villages are in North and East Uganda. "We have to take urgent measures to save the lives of the children and other people hit by hunger," said Lokioto.
Lokioto says the county government has sent out an appeal to humanitarian groups to come in aid of the starving families. "The drought situation is bad and many people are suffering. Hundreds of livestock have also died and we need help," said Lokioto.
Boreholes, rivers and all water points in the region have dried up within the last three weeks leading to severe drought and shortage of water. Lokioto says the county government has been buying food to help some of the starving families but the supplied are inadequate. The World Food Programme (WFP) has been distributing some relife food in parts of the county under the school feeding programme.
However may children have also dropped out of schools in the region especially in areas near the Kenya-Uganda border. The county administration has asked the government to step in and help the starving families. "We havent received any food supplies from the state but we have fowarded data to relevant authorities and we hope the government will respond,"says Lokioto.
"We urgently need the government and other groups to intervene in order to save the starving families," said John Kimori who works with civil society groups in the region. Kimori says the civil society groups had also sent out alerts to many other organizations to intervene in the situation adding that almost all parts of Turkana County were affected.

Clovis Community College's Nursing Department Receives Continuing Accreditation...The Clovis Community College Nursing Program has earned reaccreditation from the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission. NLNAC is nationally recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as the accrediting agency for postsecondary and higher degree nursing programs. The NLNAC Board of Commissioners granted continuing accreditation to the entire CCC Nursing Program on July 27, 2009, following a self-study report and extensive on-site review by NLNAC evaluators of the program curriculum, practices, and policies. NLNAC has given CCC's program an eight-year accreditation without deficiencies, the highest designation a program can receive.
CCC President Dr. John Neibling said, "Needless to say, we are extremely proud of the CCC Nursing Program. The eight-year extension of its accreditation, with no deficiencies cited, is a tremendous accomplishment for the Dean and the faculty." Dr. Robin Jones, Dean of Allied Health, stated, "We are very excited about our continuing accreditation. The accreditation standards had changed significantly since the site visit in 2001; however, the quality of the program and faculty made the accreditation process a smooth one. Students are very fortunate to attend the Clovis Community College Nursing program. The continuing accreditation supports that fact." Each semester, CCC graduates approximately 40 RN students and 45 LPNs.
Accreditation provides validation that a program has been evaluated by a qualified, independent group of peers. The goal is to substantiate that the institution meets appropriate higher educational standards in a satisfactory manner. For more information about the Nursing Program and other occupational technology or academic programs offered at Clovis Community College, visit www.clovis.edu or call 575.769.4747. More information on nursing accreditation can be found on the NLNAC website, http://www.nlnac.org.

Recent Pocasset reviews
"The mornings & evenings on the lake are more beautiful than photos. It's a great place if you just want to relax and do nothing, or for those who want to venture out to explore new places within a short drive, there are places to go. We recently spent a week there, had family coming in from Hawaii to attend a wedding in NYC. It was convenient, flying into Boston airport (just hour & few min away), others driving from NH, DE & MD. It was a last minute plan, however worked out really well for all. We were fortunate the dates we needed were available. The canoe and pedal boat on the lake was great for all ages. Bikes, life jackets, beach chairs, sand buckets and toys, etc. were there as well. A hidden treasure, was the beautiful little beach on the lake, only steps away through little path to left of property. The Jacuzzi on the deck was a welcome relaxation at the end of a busy day and gas grill for cooking outdoors. There are 2 fireplaces in the home, which imagine would be cozy during the late fall and winter months. If you are planning to do a lot of biking, recommend you have vehicle with bike rack. The immediate roads near house do not have shoulders on road for biking or walking, not the safest. However, there is a wonderful walking, and bike trail at the Cape Canal (6.5 miles on one side and 7 miles on other), which is only 10 minute drive from the house as need to transport the bikes. You will see locals transporting their bikes as well. Local fish market has great lobster & seafood, if prefer cooking at home. Martha's Vineyard is only short drive to a ferry and worth the trip if have not been. If your plan is to attend events and sightseeing, would recommend check online "events calendars" in the area. Boston is a great city to visit as well, lots of history and good seafood - Quincy market has plenty lobster and chowder. I have not stayed in a hotel for a vacation since 2008. Discovered the only way to vacation is staying in a vacation rental, especially if more than 2 people traveling. It's much more like being at home, yet enjoying all the amenities without the outrageous hotel prices, fees & taxes. This home on "Picture Lake" is a great getaway for families with children or just adults. The owner, Ellen was very helpful and accommodating. Our family is grateful we had the opportunity to create some wonderful memories we will cherish forever ! Thank you Ellen for sharing your "Home Away From Home" with us."Guest: Aloha from Susan Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: October 10, 2014View listing
"We are a family with 3 young kids (ages 9, 6 and 4) and have, in the past several years, rented beach houses in Hawaii and San Diego, so this says A LOT: This vacation was our favorite!!! We loved visiting the small towns at the Cape, like Mashpee and Hyannis, but mostly, we are certain the vacation was extra special because of the property where we called "home" for 7 days. First, it is a house that is well-designed and furnished (not prints hung on walls and cheap furniture like some rental properties, but original artwork, high-end appliances, and custom furniture), so it felt comfortable as soon as we stepped foot inside. The grounds outside the house were full of details that seemed existent only in movie sets -- such as an extensive herb garden, flower garden, large hammock and giant wrap-around deck with plenty of comfortable seating and a top-of-the-line grill. My kids found hours of enjoyment on the super long tree swing and had a great time collecting shells on the beach. One day, they even made a fairy house. The fact that my "city kids" never missed electronics, like their iPads, and was never bored at the house speaks volumes... even when it rained for 2 days! One of my best memories during our week stay was when it rained. When the rain was light, I went outside to pick fresh herbs from the garden and was cooking in the kitchen while my husband played Monopoly in the livingroom with the kids. Because there was a large deck, we were able to leave the windows and doors open, so we could enjoy the sounds of the rain. All I heard was music, the rhythmic sounds of the rain, and laughter. It was so tranquil and... well, perfect! I will never forget our retreat on Bassett Island. My husband's favorite part of the property was having access to all the boats. He took the kids out on their first boat rides, kayaks and inner tube. The squeals of delight and looks on my children's faces are priceless. Lastly, it was a pleasure working with Rod and Murphy who own the property and Peter who is the Property Manager (and built the house!!!) Working with them was easy and they were extremely responsive to all my questions. It was like working with friends. If we didn't live clear across the country, we would come out every year and rent this gem of a property. It is clear to me that they put a lot of love and care into designing this house and outdoor area. It deserves only the best renters who will love and care for it too."Guest: Annie Date of Stay: July 2014 Review Submitted: August 7, 2014View listing
"Wonderful rental house in Pocasset. Very clean, convenient to the local beaches, including a short walk to a small beach at the end of the street. This small peach/sandbar was perfect for my 11 month old granddaughter. Beds were firm & comfortable, and living spaces were sufficient for our group of 7. The front porch was pleasant with a water view and table to take meals. The owner stopped by on Saturday to greet us and to make sure everything was in order for our stay. One caution we learned: the top step down from the 2nd floor disappears into shadows during certain times of the day. Be careful you don't miss it and stumble down the stairwell."Guest: Papa Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 17, 2014View listing
"wonderful home, spacious, lovely functional furnishings; lots of windows and sliding glass doors; very well maintained, leave your shoes at the door!; great location a particularly family friendly home with toys for all ages including adults, easy ingress and egress and the best outdoor shower design we have seen, we had a full house and everyone used the outdoor shower because it was the best showering experience --> open air but private and roomy"Guest: Katie Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: September 6, 2014View listing

Table manners are the etiquette used when eating. This includes the appropriate use of utensils. Different cultures have different standards for table manners. Many table manners evolved out of practicality. For example, it is generally impolite to put elbows on tables since doing so creates a risk of tipping over bowls and cups. Within different families or groups, there may be less rigorous enforcement of some traditional table manners of their culture while still maintaining others. For example, some families ignore elbows on the table or mixing of foods.
There are additional etiquette rules specifically for sushi, especially in a restaurant.
-These are very general manners, they differ from area to area and might not always be noticed

A bellows is a device for delivering pressurized air in a controlled quantity to a controlled location. Basically, a bellows is a deformable container which has an outlet nozzle. When the volume of the bellows is decreased, the air escapes through the outlet. A bellows typically also has a separate inlet and valves or flaps for ensuring that air enters only through the inlet and exits only through the outlet.
Several processes, such as metallurgical iron smelting and welding, require so much heat that they could only be developed after the invention of the bellows. The bellows are used to deliver additional air to the fuel, raising the rate of combustion and therefore the heat output.
Various kinds of bellows are used in metallurgy:
The ancient Chinese craftsman Du Shi once applied water-power (waterwheel) to operate bellows of a blast furnace forging cast iron. The ancient Greeks, ancient Romans, and other civilizations used bellows in bloomery furnaces producing wrought iron. Bellows are also used to send pressurized air in a controlled manner in a fired heater.
In modern industry, reciprocating bellows are usually replaced with motorized blowers.

Apotex Inc v Sanofi-Synthelabo Canada Inc, 2008 SCC 61
Sanofi-Synthelabo (Sanofi) marketed the drug product PLAVIX, which contained as the active ingredient, clopidrogrel bisulfate, an anti-coagulant that inhibited platelet aggregation activity in the blood. Clopidogrel was covered by two Canadian patents, Canadian Patent No 1,194,875 (the 875 Patent) and Canadian Patent No 1,336,777 (the 777 Patent). The 875 Patent was filed in 1983 and expired in 2003. The 777 Patent was filed in 1988 and expired in 2012.
The 875 Patent disclosed a genus or class of compounds including approximately 250,000 compounds. The 777 Patent was referred to a "selection patent" because it claimed and described a selected member of this class, namely, clopidogrel.
In 2003, Apotex sought to make a generic version of PLAVIX before the expiry of the 777 Patent. Thus, through the procedure dictated by the Patented Medicines (Notice of Compliance) Regulations, Apotex alleged that the 777 Patent was invalid because clopidogrel was anticipated (not new), obvious, and a double patent in light of the earlier 875 Patent.
The issue before the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) was whether selection patents were invalid in principle or the 777 Patent was invalid on the facts of the case. In its reasons for the decision to uphold the validity of the 777 Patent, the SCC imported legal principles from cases in the United Kingdom and the United States in order to deal with selection patents.
The SCC confirmed that in Canada a system of genus and selection patents was acceptable in principle, following the line of cases beginning with In Re I G Farbenindustrie AG's Patents (1930), 47 RPC 289 (Ch D). Thus, the question was whether, on the facts presented in the case, the 777 Patent specifically was anticipated, obvious or a double patent.
The SCC first refined the test of anticipation set out in the Canadian case of Beloit Canada Ltd v Valmet Oy (1986), 8 CPR (3d) 289. Following the reasoning in the UK case Synthon BV v SmithKline Beecham plc, [2006] 1 All ER 685, [2005] UKHL, the SCC stated that there were two requirements for a finding of anticipation: prior disclosure and enablement.
Applying this test to the facts of the case, the SCC concluded that the 875 Patent did not disclose the invention of the 777 Patent, clopidogrel, which was a compound having better properties than other compounds in the 875 Patent. As a result, the 777 Patent was not anticipated by the 875 Patent.
The SCC then sought to bring better structure and more objectivity and clarity to the obviousness analysis by introducing into Canadian law the four-step approach used in the UK case Pozzoli SPA v BDMO SA, [2007] FSR 37, [2007] EWCA Civ 588, which was an update to the approach in Windsurfing International Inc v Tabur Marine (Great Britain) Ltd, [1985] RPC 59 (CA). Relying on the reasoning of the UK and US cases, the SCC further stated that it may be appropriate to consider certain "obvious-to-try" factors in some circumstances as part of this approach.
Conducting this analysis in this case, the SCC concluded that the subject matter of the 777 Patent was not obvious from that of the 875 Patent.
Finally, with respect to the issue of double-patenting, the SCC held that the claims of the 777 and 875 Patents were not directed to the "same invention" since the 777 Patent claimed a narrower invention, and it was found clopidogrel was disclosed to have better properties. Therefore, Apotex's allegation of invalidity on that ground failed.
Heather Watts highlights the key points of the case:
Sanofi-Synthelabo was a defining case regarding the status of selection patents under Canadian law. It also modified the tests for obviousness and anticipation set out in the previous leading case Beloit Canada Ltd v Valmet Oy (1986). This decision provided for an analytical approach to obviousness and the opportunity to argue that inventions won by experimentation would have been obvious to try. The decision also clarified that in order for a single prior art document to anticipate, it must both disclose and enable the claimed invention. As a result of this decision, the test for obviousness arguably became easier to meet in some cases, while the test for anticipation became more stringent.
A more detailed discussion about the legal concepts of this case was previously reported in E-TIPS® here.

3. Jesus Navas (Sevilla to Manchester City) - €17.5m
The Spanish winger is well known in world football after a string of fine performances for Sevilla and Spain.
Premier League big spenders, Manchester City, secured his services paying €17.5million to the La Liga side. New manager Manuel Pellegrini will be expecting Navas to provide service to forwards Alvaro Negredo and Edin Dzeko, and so far Navas has not disappointed.
A signing sure to bring huge dividends for City as the season progresses, if he can guide the club to Premier League success and European glory the €17.5million will prove to be a snip.

Plans for homes are opposed
Posted: January 25, 2013|
A plan to bring 750 new homes to Godmanchester is being opposed by town councillors.
They voted unanimously to ask Huntingdonshire District Council to refuse a planning application which would increase the size of the town by a quarter.
The town council thinks the Fairfield Partnership development on the Bearscroft site is too big and the town's infrastructure will not cope.
It is concerned about the development going ahead before details of the upgrade of the A14, which is adjacent to the site, are agreed.
Cllr Graham Wilson, who has led the town council's opposition to the plan, said the council wanted new affordable housing, "but this development is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"The Alconbury Weald development could take these new houses. It reuses old industrial land on the airfield and is much better suited than losing valuable agricultural land in Godmanchester,"
Godmanchester Residents Against Bearscroft welcomed the decision.
Members have discussed the scheme with Fairfield, but felt the developers were not listening to the strength of feeling from the town.

Stevenage have agreed terms with Accrington defender Phil Edwards.
The newly promoted League One club have been chasing Edwards for more than a month in a bid to replace Luke Foster, who left to join Rotherham last week.
Stevenage will look to make the most of his versatility, with Edwards capable of playing at right-back and centre-midfield as well as centre-back.
The 25-year-old made 200 appearances for Accrington during his six-year stint at the club, and impressed last season on their way to the League Two play-offs.

Marcus Collins to headline Liverpool Pride 2012By Bethan Hockey
As this year's Liverpool Pride draws ever closer. organisers have announced that this years headline act will be X Factor finalist Marcus Collins.
Liverpool Pride 2012 will take place at Liverpool's iconic pier-head and throughout the Stanley Street Gay Quarter. In addition to this, there will be a weekend of cultural events taking place at some of Liverpool's most influential arts and cultural establishments. The festival's 'Nautical but Nice' theme, chosen in a ballot by 700 members of the local LGBT community, gives a nod to the city's commemoration of the 100 year anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, whilst at the same time, celebrating the city's rich maritime history and taking advantage of the main festival site, which sits on the banks of the River Mersey.
We caught up with Zoran Blackie, Chair of Liverpool Pride to find out what is in store.

Lake Conroe Habitat Improvement Project Coalition wins
the Texas Environmental Excellence Award in the Civic/Community Category.
TCEQ Press Release
Photo by Bob Daemmrich
Conroe multi-organizational coalition is being recognized with
the state's highest environmental honor, the 2013 Texas
Environmental Excellence Award in the Civic/Community category.
Lake Conroe Habitat Improvement Project Coalition will be one of
10 winners honored by the Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality, at its annual banquet, to be held in Austin, May 1.
Formed in 2006, the coalition, which
includes public and private organizations, local businesses,
community residents, and government, began looking for a more
holistic approach to not just invasive control but a balanced
aquatic ecosystem. The group teamed up to manage invasive
species while simultaneously expanding biodiversity through
native plant introduction.
To control an early infestation of water
hydrilla, a problem since the 1980's, more than 250,000 grass
carp were introduced. While the carp caused total removal of
hydrilla, they also greatly reduced native vegetation. Natural
die-off of the carp eventually led to reinfestation of invasive
plants. Organizers, including individual members of angler
associations, worked to build consensus in the community for
restoration projects. Anglers with local fishing clubs, as well
as conservation groups became some of the biggest proponents of
restoration efforts at Lake Conroe.
Since 2010, the groups have restored five
miles of shoreline at Lake Conroe through the addition of native
plant colonies, contributing to an increase of fish and wildlife
along the shoreline. Reefs designed to attract fish, which also
prove to be fishing hot spots for anglers, have also been
constructed to enhance current habitats and help stimulate
higher fish production.
May 2012
The San Jacinto River
Authority (SJRA) has recently partnered
with Seven Coves Bass Club, Texas Parks and
Wildlife, and Lewisville Aquatic Ecosystem
Research Facility (LAERF) in an attempt to
restore native plant habitats to Lake Conroe.
Seven Coves Bass Club constructed the aquatic
plant culture boxes at the Lake Conroe Dam based
on specifications and propagules provide by
LAERF. The cultures include floating leaf,
emergent, and submersed species of aquatic
plants. The goal of this eco-friendly
project is to provide a sustainable nursery for
use in Lake Conroe.
In the video, Lynde Dodd,
a research scientist with LAERF, explains the
importance of installing native plants in Lake
Conroe. Dodd states, "The plants will provide a
habitat that helps to reduce erosion problems
that occur with the absence of vegetation." The
native plants also "provide a nitch that
otherwise might be open for plants such as
hydrilla, which is an invasive plant that we
don't want in Lake Conroe." In addition, the
vegetation creates a nursery habitat or a haven
for small fish to hide away from larger

Establishing Native Aquatic Vegetation in Lake Conroe, TX
Lynde L. Dodd
University of North Texas, Institute of Applied Sciences
Gary Owen Dick and Richard M. Smart
US Army Engineer Research and Development Center
Lewisville Aquatic Ecosystem Research Facility
Lake Conroe has a volatile history of aquatic vegetation
management. Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata) infested the
reservoir soon after the reservoir filled, resulting in coverage
of approximately 10,000 acres by the early 1980's. To
control hydrilla, large numbers (270,000 or about 30 per
hydrilla-acre) of diploid grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella)
were stocked. Grass carp not only controlled hydrilla, but
also eliminated most other aquatic vegetation in the lake and
continued to inhibit plant growth into the late 1990's.
Identified as poor habitat for fish and other aquatic wildlife
following loss of aquatic vegetation, efforts to re-establish
native vegetation in Lake Conroe were initiated by Texas Parks
and Wildlife Department (TPWD), the US Army Corps of Engineers
Research and Development Center's Lewisville Aquatic Ecosystem
Research Facility (LAERF), and local stakeholders. In
those efforts, founder colonies of native plants were
established in the upper end of the lake. These colonies
produced propagules (seeds, fragments, etc.) that eventually
spread to other parts of the lake, resulting in significant
habitat improvements: native vegetation increased from no
appreciable coverage in the mid 1990's to over 1,200 acres in
the early to mid 2000's. As grass carp declined and
hydrilla (and other nuisance species such as water hyacinth,
Eichhornia crassipes, and giant salvinia, Salvinia molesta),
began to re-infest the lake, management efforts, primarily
herbicides, were implemented to control them. Despite
these efforts, the scale of infestation continued to increase,
and by 2006 hydrilla had spread to cover more than 800 acres.
Large numbers of grass carp were again stocked, this time using
triploid fish. By spring of 2008, hydrilla covered more
than 2,000 acres, resulting in additional grass carp stocking,
reaching 130,000 fish (65 per hydrilla-acre) having been stocked
over a three-year period. Hydrilla declined dramatically
beginning in the summer of 2008 to cover only several acres;
unfortunately, native vegetation had also greatly declined,
leaving the lake without vegetation once again.
Probable long-term persistence of grass carp in the lake
coupled with other herbivores (e.g., semi-aquatic turtles,
common carp, etc.) may suppress recovery of native plants from
seed and tuber banks for the foreseeable future. During
this time, seed and tuber banks may become depleted past the
point that will enable recovery. To counter this problem,
this project proposed to re-introduce native aquatic plants into
Lake Conroe to provide seeds and other propagules needed for
recovery and to serve as immediate moderate-scale habitat for
fish and other aquatic wildlife. Methodologies used in
Lake Conroe during the late 1990's and early 2000's to establish
founder colonies have been refined and re-employed, coupled with
an adaptive management approach to make modifications to the
general plan as needed to accommodate changes in the system
during the project's progress
Aquatic vegetation does not establish easily in man-made
reservoirs. Many species that may be suitable for a lake
are often not found in the immediate vicinity of newly impounded
reservoirs, and therefore no propagules are readily available
for their establishment, as was the case in Lake Conroe in the
1990's. The few propagules that may be brought in (by
waterfowl, boaters, etc.) or remaining propagules from plants
lost to management strategies are often consumed by grazers such
as common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and semi-aquatic turtles
(mostly Emydids), and in the case of Lake Conroe, large
populations of grass carp. Poor water quality (e.g., high
turbidities) and fluctuating water levels also inhibit plant
establishment, especially from seeds, the most likely natural
dispersal and recovery mechanism in Texas lakes. Natural
re-establishment of native plants, therefore, may take years to
occur. In the meantime, absence of vegetation causes other
ecosystem components to suffer (e.g., poor fishery development),
or provides open niches for re-invasion by exotic species, such
as hydrilla, which results in degraded water quality, poor
wildlife habitat, and interference with human activities.
Shortening the process of natural establishment of native
aquatic plants would therefore greatly benefit Lake Conroe.
Because the large size of most reservoirs precludes
full-scale establishment, in recent years the goal of native
aquatic vegetation restoration efforts has been the
establishment of founder colonies. Founder colonies
provide immediate small-scale habitat improvement and serve as
sources of propagules for spread to other parts of a lake.
By having seeds, fragments, and other reproductive structures
present in a reservoir at all times, biotic and abiotic
limitations can be overcome to allow natural colonization
throughout the system.
While more typically applied to aquatic ecosystems that lack
or support a paucity of vegetation, the founder colony approach
can be used for replacing nuisance aquatic vegetation with
beneficial vegetation during and following application of
control strategies. Removal of nuisance plants with
selective herbicides, biocontrol agents, etc., will result in
freed resources (nutrients, space, light, etc.) that provide an
opportunity for enhancing native vegetation growth.
Establishing native plants at this time not only mitigates lost
habitat, but serves to fill niches left open by the control of
nuisance species, reducing the likelihood or intensity of
re-infestation of the weedy species. Timing can be
critical: waiting until the control measure(s) is no
longer present can result in rapid re-infestation of the
nuisance species. We elected to begin re-establishing
native vegetation, while grass carp were still present, to take
advantage of their declining numbers as they age. At that
time, we anticipate spread of native plants, particularly those
less preferred by grass carp (e.g., wild celery, Vallisneria
americana, has proven to grow well in Lake Conroe in the
presence of grass carp). We (LAERF) followed this approach
for re-establishing a number of native aquatic plant species in
Lake Conroe, beginning in summer 2011 in a partnership with the
San Jacinto River Authority (SJRA) and TPWD.
Founder Colony Installation
High quality fishery habitat is represented by diverse
aquatic plant communities that generally include a variety of
growth forms, including submersed, floating-leaved, and emergent
vegetation. Previous revegetation work in Lake Conroe
identified a number of native aquatic plant species that readily
establish in the lake. Of those, a group of plants was
selected based upon their suitability and their (mostly)
relative non-palatability to grass carp (Table 1).
Table 1. Native aquatic plant species recommended for Lake
Conroe, Texas.
Many of these species have shown tolerance to
herbivory in that lake.
Establishment of submersed aquatic plant founder colonies in
Lake Conroe required: 1) a source of plants and 2)
protection from grazing by grass carp and other herbivores for
some species. We used the following as a general outline
for founder colony establishment.
The founder colony consists of thirty-nine 10-ft x 20-ft x
5-ft tall pens installed on approximate 650-ft centers (Figure
1). Pens were installed along the then-current shoreline,
or in about 3 ½ to 4-ft of water at normal pool (201ft ASL).
Pens were anchored in place by six T-posts, each topped with
safety caps. After construction, pens were planted with
one each mature containerized American pondweed, wild celery,
and water stargrass. Approximately one-half of the pens
(those located closest to the mouth of the creek) were
additionally planted with a single, containerized American water
lily, and the other half of the pens were planted with a single
American lotus plant and American lotus seeds by broadcast.
Additional seeds were broadcast outside of each American lotus
pen. In addition to planting in pens, unprotected,
containerized water willow was planted along the shoreline
between pens on approximate 100-ft centers. Because the
lake was unusually low, and water willow was not expected to
establish at depths greater than three-feet, plants were
installed in moist sand approximately 2-ft below normal pool.
Additional planting of water willow (and other emergent species)
was initiated in 2012 to achieve project goals of 25-ft
on-center shoreline plantings.
Founder Colony Evaluation
Lake Conroe's founder colony was evaluated April 2012 by
LAERF researchers. There were aquatic plants in all pens
and water willow was establishing between most pens in about at
depths of 12" to 18" of water. Most water willow plants
had spread and many were flowering. American water lily,
water stargrass, and American pondweed were the most successful
within the pens, evidence that these species can handle extended
periods of desiccation (the pens were out of the water for a
portion of the summer 2011). American lotus was found in
only a few of the pens, indicating that seeds and/or plants used
were not able easily established under the conditions
encountered following planting.
A good portion of the mature potted aquatic plants (Figure 2)
that had been grown at the SJRA nursery were field ready and a
large-scale re-planting of the founder colony was coordinated
with SJRA, TPWD and LAERF on May 22, 2012. Lake elevation
at the time of planting was 198.5 ASL, approximately 2.5-ft
below conservation pool (201 ASL). Unprotected plantings
were made on 40-ft centers along the shoreline (0 to 6-in deep)
within the founder colony with approximately 650 individual of
emergent species, including: water willow, water smartweed
(Polygonum amphibium), giant bulrush (Schoenoplectus
californicus), delta arrowhead (Sagittaria platyphylla),
pickerelweed (Pontederia cordata), slender spikerush (Eleocharis
acicularis), flatstem spikerush (Eleocharis macrostachya), and
squarestem spikerush (Eleocharis quadrangulata). This planting
was made to fill in between existing water willow patches
planted August of 2011, which at the time of this planting were
found at an average depth of 18 inches. Approximately 300
plants, including wild celery, Illinois pondweed, American
pondweed, water stargrass, American lotus and American water
lily, were added to the pens, which were now in 2-ft of water.
Pens already supporting American pondweed, American water lily
and American lotus were not additionally planted with those
species, resulting in all pens supporting the same suite of
plants. Replanting these species in pens will be made as
determined by periodic monitoring; additional species may be
included to increase diversity and improve founder colony
Low water conditions in Lake Conroe have already tested the
use of adaptive management in this project, resulting in
modifications of plantings in 2011 at depths or elevations that
we do not normally target. Submersed and floating-leaved
plants were planted in less than 1-ft of water, with the risk of
further fluctuation that would leave the plants high and dry.
Emergent species plantings, initially slated for 25-ft on center
plantings, were restricted to a single species (water willow) on
100-ft centers during the first year in order to minimize
potential loss due to the extended drought. Although some
plants were lost following this adaptation to our plan, many
survived, broadening our knowledge of founder colony limitation
and providing information value to future plantings, such as
those conducted in 2012.
Additionally, water willow exhibited resistance to herbivory,
including grass carp tolerance, as indicated by not only its
presence, but by its spread and flowering. LAERF will
continue monitoring and make additional plantings as needed to
ensure long-term sustainability of the founder colony.
Long-term monitoring and maintenance will contribute to, not
only successful establishment of the founder colony, but is
necessary to realize spread to unprotected areas in the lake.
Therefore, as the grass carp population declines, native plants
will have an opportunity to colonize areas previously infested
with hydrilla, thereby improving the fishery and other ecosystem
components of Lake Conroe.

Teen Mom
16 and Pregnant's Kristina Robinson Gets Married After Her Baby Daddy's Tragic Death!
Kristina Robinson's episode of 16 and Pregnant hasn't even aired yet, but she's already up to her eyeballs in drama and tragedy. Kristina's baby daddy, John Todd, died in a swimming accident while Kristina was pregnant with their son, but Kristina has finally moved on — she just got married!
Kristina and her boyfriend, TJ Head, recently tied the knot, and she posted the evidence on Twitter as proof. We're thrilled that this gal's found happiness with TJ, but we have a feeling John Todd's family aren't celebrating along with the rest of us.
"I found out about her seeing someone in a store in our town, then my oldest son and his wife came and told me," John's mom, Tina, told Starcasm.
"Kristina had changed her number and I feel that I got to see my grandson only for MTV and my son and daughter in law. I have only see Lil Todd #2 four times. She is trying to keep the baby from all of us, and it isn't fair."
Kristina's reluctance to let Tina see her grandson could have something to do with Tina's posts on John's Facebook wall, which imply that Kristina was at fault when John died.
"I have never held her responsible for my son being gone, but I have always blamed her family, and at first so did she," Tina told Starcasm. "All I meant was that he didn't want to go on this trip and she knew that. He went because he loves her and didn't want to disappoint her."
Yikes, it looks like we're in store for loads of tearful drama when Kristina's episode airs. Better prepare with some waterproof mascara, ladies! In the meantime, we hope Kristina enjoys her honeymoon with TJ.

Vineyard Views
Dr. Cliff Ohmart, the former Sustainable Viticulture Director at the Lodi Winegrape Commission, wrote, and still writes a bimonthly column for Wines & Vines entitled Vineyard Views. Sustainable winegrape growing is the theme, and much of the content came from Dr. Ohmart's experience with Lodi growers. The columns appear here with permission from Wines & Vines. "What is sustainable viticulture' was the title of the inaugural column and is included because it sets the scene for the subsequent columns.
Periodically new columns will be added to this site.
