Ever dreamed about finding buried treasure? Varnum member Jim Baily has the bug, and his time treasure hunting in New England, metal detector in tow, has yielded some fascinating finds.
Considering Rhode Island's rich history, it seems fitting that many of Jim's treasures were found right in our own back yard. On Aquidneck Island, for example, he's uncovered items dating back to the British occupation. Among his finds are jewelry, coins, and buttons. Some of his most interesting historical finds are a 1789 George Washington inauguration button and a 1786 New Jersey Copper, a coin of historic interest.
The search to recover history has taken Jim from land to the high seas: he was also involved in a salvage trip to the Whydah, a pirate ship that sank in a storm off the coast of Cape Cod in 1717.
Mr. Bailey will discuss his treasure hunts and show some of his finds at the May Varnum dinner meeting. Please join us on Monday, May 11, for an inside look at history recovered.
The Steak Fry is back!
Weather permitting, we will be grilling steaks on our barbeque at the May members meeting.
RSVP … Social hour begins at 5:30, followed by STEAK FRY at 6:30 p.m. (Fee is $15.) Please RSVP to Sue Hawksley at 401/732-9805 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com by Friday, May 8.
This event is only open to Varnum Continental members. If you would like to join the Varnum Continentals ($35/year), please visit this link.

Varnum Continentals, Circa 1919
By Varnum Member & Trustee Brian Wallin
Hanging in the President's Office is a faded 19th century relic that commemorates a defining moment in Rhode Island history. May 3rd of this year is the 173rd anniversary of the inauguration of Thomas Wilson Dorr as governor of Rhode Island. The only problem was at the time there was already a duly elected governor, Samuel Ward King. In the weeks that followed, the state was subjected to an intense period of civil unrest that led to the failed storming of the state armory in Providence on May 18,, 1842. It has come to be known as The Dorr Rebellion. Here's a thumbnail sketch of the events and the commemorative flag in our museum.
In 1663, King Charles granted a royal charter that spelled out the form of government to exist in Rhode Island. It stated that the General Assembly membership would be based on the 1663 population distribution and that significant property ownership (valued at a minimum of $134.00) was required to vote. But by the mid 19th century, the state's demographics had greatly changed, due to the Industrial Revolution, the growth of cities, and immigration. By 1829, 2/3 of the state's population could not meet the criteria to cast a ballot. Forces for change in voting rights emerged; among those in a leadership role was young well-to-do Providence lawyer Thomas Wilson Dorr.
On April 17, 1841, thousands marched in Providence calling for a dramatic revision in the election process. The General Assembly saw the light and agreed to hold a constitutional convention in May. But, to be on the safe side, the suffragists decided to hold their own convention about the same time. In November, they unveiled their "People's Constitution," which favored universal white male suffrage. Dorr and some others had at first favored universal suffrage without racial restriction. Ironically, many black Rhode Islanders later took sides with the loyalists when Dorr and his supporters mounted their rebellion.
In April of 1842, two state elections were held. First, the so-called People's Party elected the 36-year-old Dorr. Two days later, conservative forces (the Law & Order Party) reelected the incumbent Governor King who then appealed to President Tyler to send federal troops to the state in the event of a rebellion by Dorr supporters. Tyler chose not to get involved, but did send an observer. Dorr felt he had the support of the majority of Rhode Islanders and in the early hours of May 18th he marched with several hundred men to seize the weapons in the state arsenal on Cranston Street in Providence and mount an armed rebellion.
Dorr supporters (including some units of the state's militia that were loyal to him) attacked the arsenal, but their 70-year old cannon expelled water, not cannon balls. Local Providence militiamen and volunteers inside the walls, including Dorr's own father, Sullivan Dorr, fought back. With the failure of their cannon, the Dorrites faded into the night. Reinforcements loyal to Governor King arrived after the confrontation but were used to dislodge Dorrites from their encampment on Federal Hill on May 19th. Meanwhile, Dorr and a number of his men had fled to Chepachet. Eventually, he escaped to New Hampshire and later to Massachusetts. He returned in 1843 to face the music, was tried and convicted of treason against the state in 1844 (a strange verdict since treason can technically be only against a country). He was sentenced to a period of house arrest. However, the seeds of a new election process and reform had been sown in the Ocean State, and Thomas Wilson Dorr had gained national recognition as a civil libertarian. Others, to this day, consider him an anarchist.
For our flag story, we go back to September 10, 1842, when victorious supporters of Governor King gathered in Providence to celebrate and to honor those who came to defend the standing government. Militiamen from around the state paraded with 14 artillery pieces down Benefit Street to the Dexter Training Grounds for a day-long event led by the governor, Providence Mayor Thomas Burgess, and numerous dignitaries. Among the units honored was the Kentish Guards, led by Col. George Allen. (They missed the defense of the arsenal because Dorrites had waylaid the Kentish transportation and the Guards had to march on foot to Providence.) However, on June 27th Col. Allen led his men and six other militia units in putting down a large and bloody Dorrite riot in Pawtucket.)
An article, rich in the flowery language of the period, appeared in the September 12th edition of the Providence Journal. Thousands at the parade witnessed the presentation of hand-painted commemorative flags commissioned by "the ladies of Providence" to the four chartered militia companies (the Kentish Guards, and the Warren, Bristol and Newport Artilleries) that responded to the call for help from Governor King. The Journal reporter noted, "the flags were painted by Mr. (Samuel) Bower (of Providence) upon whose skill and taste they reflect great credit. We need not say how dearly they will be cherished, and, if needs be, how bravely they will be defended."
So who were the Rhode Island Guards? Why did they also get a flag and how did we come into its possession? Members of two unofficial militia units called the Warwick and Coventry Volunteers and the Coventry Volunteers were among those who turned out on May 18th to oppose the Dorrites' attack on the arsenal. In October of 1842, men from the towns of Warwick, Coventry, and Cranston were formally chartered by the General Assembly as the Rhode Island Guards. A number of their members had been among the loyalist volunteers at the arsenal.
According to a newspaper piece, Rhode Island Historical Society written by the Hon. Henry L. Greene, the newly chartered militia held its first formal meeting on November 19, 1842, in the Greene & Pike's Schoolhouse in Coventry. John Clarke Harris was elected Captain and Phillip Greene as First Lieutenant. The state later gave the new chartered militia $700 to build a suitable armory adjacent to the schoolhouse.
To recognize the efforts by the earlier volunteers (now official militiamen) ladies in the community, led by the daughters of former Gov. Sprague of Cranston and Captain Elisha Brown of Warwick, presented the Guards with the two-sided, hand-painted flag that now hangs in the Varnum Museum. It reads "Presented by the Ladies of Warwick and Cranston to the Rhode Island Guards for their Patriotic Services on the Eighteenth of May, 1842. Guard the gift as you did the givers." Style and wording mirror the flags presented earlier to the other militias.
The Kentish Guards and several other units drilled with the Guards, who for a period of time carried weapons that had been provided by the state to the volunteers at the time of the Dorr uprising (these were eventually replaced). The Rhode Island Guards continued in existence until 1849 or 1850 (the last known meeting was held on October 22, 1849, in East Greenwich. Henry Greene's account indicates there was no record of the official disbanding of the unit (and this author has found none). The armory building was sold in 1852 to the Washington Lodge of the Odd Fellows who constructed their meeting hall on the property.
Mrs. Francis Whittier Greene and Family, descendants of Revolutionary War hero Col. Christopher Greene, donated the flag in the Varnum Museum collection in 1941. The flag had been in the possession of a Rhode Island Guards lieutenant, Lehre Greene, a great grandson of Col. Greene. Frederick Cole Greene, another family member, was one of the founding members of the Varnum Continentals in 1907. So, it seems the mystery of our Dorr flag has been finally solved. Its presence in our collection is a significant reminder of a landmark event in our state's history.
As part of our Art at the Armory Exhibit earlier this season, the Varnum Continentals released archival fine art reproductions of two beloved paintings from the Varnum House Museum collection. The original oil paintings from which the fine art prints were created were painted ca. 1860 by Dr. Daniel Howland Greene, physician, local historian, and artist. Greene wrote the History of the Town of East Greenwich and Adjacent Territory: From 1677 to 1877.
These fine art prints, on canvas, will be available at Greenwich Gallery (B&H Framing), at 514 Main Street, East Greenwich. The prints are available in two sizes: 16 X 20 and 24 X 30 and may be purchased stretched and ready-to-frame or rolled in a tube, suitable for shipping. Prices range from $125 to $250. Each comes with a certificate of authenticity.
To purchase your print, please visit Greenwich Gallery or call John Adams at 508/735-4283 or
Proceeds from the sale of these prints will help with the cleaning and restoration of artwork in the collections of the Varnum Memorial Armory and Varnum House Museums.

I am always being told off by i-technologists for quoting Picasso as having said that computers are useless. But I still love his reasoning? "Because they can only give you answers."
Picasso, like AJAXWorld Magazine, liked questions. So we thought we would share with you what some of the world's leading rich Internet application pioneers are thinking may be the next questions that we need to see answered. From that readers can themselves infer where AJAX is headed.
What are the top questions to ask next about AJAX?
Eric Miraglia of Yahoo!
1. (From March'08) How do I calculate the ROI of building my RIA on the iPhone SDK vs using AJAX?
2. How do I assess the performance of my app and decide what to do next to make it faster?
3. When it comes to accessibility, how do I know what's required of me for my rich web apps? Beyond what's required, what makes good business sense?
4. What are the ten most important steps I can take to make sure my rich internet app is secure? What tools are available to help me diagnose whether it's secure?
5. For all the press that they get, are mashups really contributing to the experience of the web?
Douglas Crockford, creator of JSON
I just have one question I'd like answered: How are we to fix the web? AJAX exploits all of the remaining capability of the 1999 browser standards, which were not state of the art even then. Where do we go from here? Will open standards fall to technologically superior proprietary systems?
Coach Wei, founder and CTO of Nexaweb
1. What are people mostly using AJAX for? Enhancing existing website, building a new website, building an application, replacing an old client/server application, etc?
3. Are you using mashup or do you plan to do some mashup, for which kind of project?
4. Which tools (IDE) do people using for AJAX development?
5. Do you still develop web 1.0 style applications, and why?
See next page for predictions from: Google's Christian Schalk, JackBe's John Crupi, Josh Gertzen of the ThinWire AJAX Framework, Kevin Hakman of TIBCO GI, and Andre Charland of Nitobi.

|Kurt Cagle 12/26/07 02:43:45 AM EST
There's a growing impedance mismatch between the large scale providers of content and the consumers of that content as we build multiple messaging architectures. How realistically do we resolve this mismatch in such a way that we are able to preserve both flexibility (SOAP), simplicity (Atom) and brevity (JSON), and can we do so without sparking a religious war?
|Crolly Darvo 12/18/07 05:06:41 AM EST
Will the browsers development, unification and standardization give us more possibilities and freedom to sophisticate or simplify our interfaces & APIs?
|Brett Green 12/13/07 01:24:02 PM EST
Do you believe a shift back towards rich desktop apps, which are internet-enabled, will lead away from the need for AJAX-enabled web applications?
|Gabriel Kent 12/12/07 10:57:40 AM EST
If you imagine the a URI is a handle to a given resource -- is the AJAX community pushing to retain the isomorphic relationship between the URI and a given state of a web application as it changes through AJAX interaction?
|Micha? S?aby 12/12/07 04:55:16 AM EST
Are off-line applications for web the right direction? Is Google Gears relevant when more and more devices has 24/7 Internet access?
|Marcio 12/11/07 04:20:08 PM EST
Other questions like: [1] ambiguity in AJAX toolkits, can I match them? how an aspect in Toolkit A can influence toolkit B? The namespaced Web apps becomes now important. It's the same that happened in Browser space, they were different, then become a bit shared, the AJAX toolkits work also may reach a convergence state as we have offline/online caching infra-structure with namespaced events - sandboxed apps in the same page but running each in a given scope.
I think the next stage promises good things for us and the current stage is a mess with good value under it. The exploration of the mashup stack and mashup infra for interoperability is an area to massage.
|WishList 12/09/07 02:22:28 AM EST
If only AJAX could somehow bring us a spam-free internet, now THAT would be a rich future!
|AJAX vs CF 11/15/07 08:28:09 AM EST
While Ajax represents the future, it looks like in Georgia they still have developers working in ColdFusion from Adobe - how come? Here's the link: http://www.dot.state.ga.us/
Development managers need to ask themselves at least these two questions before adopting AJAX on a project. First, will you make up for the time invested in adopting a new technology through increased development speed? And second, will AJAX allow you to offer a more useful application to your users?
|Ahmed ALEM 11/07/07 06:32:56 AM EST
The answer is definitely: Java + XML + XSLT + a new ML, instead of: JavaScript + XML + HTML. But is there any project which take into account all these ideas? Are there any band of developers who are interested in re-inventing a better wheel?
|Answer 11/07/07 06:31:07 AM EST
The next stage of AJAX is Comet.
|mAX kIESELR 11/06/07 10:48:05 AM EST
It was inevitable that someone would use web 2.0 social aspects together with an AJAX interaction layer to create a next generation weblog. As usual it took a seventeen year old to do it. Logahead is everything I've been looking for recently in blogging software. It's PHP, MySQL, AJAX, and has several social features.

Article: PBDEs and other POPs in urban birds of prey partly explained by trophic level and carbon source[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: As urban sprawl and agricultural intensification continue to invade prime wildlife habitat, some animals, even apex predators, are managing to adapt to this new environment. Chemical pollution is one of many stressors that wildlife encounter in urban environments. Predators are particularly sensitive to persistent chemical pollutants because they feed at a high trophic level where such pollution is biomagnified. To examine levels of pollution in urban birds of prey in the Lower Mainland region of British Columbia, Canada, we analyzed persistent organic contaminants in adult birds found dead of trauma injury. The hepatic geometric mean concentration of sum polybrominated diphenyl ethers (∑PBDEs) in 13 Cooper's hawks (Accipiter cooperii) from Greater Vancouver was 1873ng/g (lipid weight) with one bird reaching 197,000ng/g lipid weight, the highest exposure reported to date for a wild bird. Concentrations of ∑PBDEs, ∑PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) and, surprisingly, cyclodiene insecticides were greatest in the urban environment while those of DDE (1,1-dichloroethylene bis[p-chlorophenyl) were highest in a region of intensive agriculture. The level of most chlorinated and brominated contaminants increased with trophic level (δ(15)N). The concentrations of some contaminants, PBDEs in particular, in these birds of prey may have some toxicological consequences. Apex predators in urban environments continue to be exposed to elevated concentrations of legacy pollutants as well as more recent brominated pollutants. Crown Copyright © 2015.

Article: Spatial distributions of polychlorinated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, tetrabromobisphenol A and bisphenol A in Lake Erie sediment[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Forty-seven polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), 9 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) and its mono-, di- and tri-bromo-analogs, and bisphenol A (BPA) were investigated in sediments (56 samples; collected in spring 2004) from the western, central and eastern basins of Lake Erie. Surficial (0–10 cm) sediment from the western basin contained significantly greater (p < 0.05) concentrations of ΣPCBs, ΣPBDEs and BPA than the other two basins. Σ47PCBs were 144 ± 141, 33 ± 34, and 13 ± 15 ng/g (mean ± standard deviation (SD); dry weight, d.w.) in the western, central, and eastern basins respectively. For two of the surveyed sites, the Σ47PCBs in sediment exceeded the Canadian sediment quality probable effect level of exposure guideline (PEL, 277 ng/g) for aquatic biota, indicating a risk to biota health in 2004. Σ8PBDE concentrations (BDE-28, -47, -99, -100, -138, -153, -154 and -183) were 1.33 ± 2.54, 0.17 ± 0.11, and 0.30 ± 0.38 ng/g (mean ± SD; d.w.) in the western, central, and eastern basins, respectively. BDE-209 was the predominant PBDE congener in sediment samples, and was quantifiable in 56% of the samples with a concentration range of < 0.3 to 12 ng/g (d.w.). BPA concentrations up to 6.1 ng/g (d.w.) were detected in 65% of the samples. For these chemicals, the Detroit River outflow is strongly suggested to be the major source/vector for Lake Erie. TBBPA was detectable in one sample (0.5 ng/g d.w.) from a site near the Detroit River, suggesting degradation and/or a low level deposition of polybrominated-BPAs to Lake Erie.Journal of Great Lakes Research 05/2015; DOI:10.1016/j.jglr.2015.04.007 · 1.77 Impact Factor
Article: Hexabromocyclododecane Flame Retardant Isomers in Sediments from Detroit River and Lake Erie of the Laurentian Great Lakes of North America[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Sediments collected in 2004 from along the Detroit River (n = 19) and across all of Lake Erie (n = 18) were analyzed for isomers of the flame retardant chemical, hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Sediment samples had ΣHBCD concentrations ranging from not detected to 1.6 ng/g d.w. γ-HBCD (56 %-100 % of ΣHBCDs) was the predominate isomer, observed in 7 of 19 samples from the Detroit River and 6 of 18 samples from Lake Erie (all within the western basin). α-HBCD was found in 4 Detroit River and 2 Lake Erie western basin sites, while β-HBCD was only in two Detroit River samples. High ΣHBCD concentrations (>100 ng/g d.w.) were found in two sludge samples from two Windsor, ON, wastewater treatment plants that feed into the Detroit River upstream. HBCD contamination into the Detroit River is a major input vector into Lake Erie and with an apparent sediment dilution effect moving towards the eastern basin.Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology 02/2015; 95(1).

Article: Evaluation and Interconversion of Various Indicator PCB Schemes for ∑PCB and Dioxin-Like PCB Toxic Equivalent Levels in Fish[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) remain chemicals of concern more than three decades after the ban on their production. Technical mixture-based total PCB measurements are unreliable due to weathering and degradation, while detailed full congener specific measurements can be time-consuming and costly for large studies. Measurements using a subset of indicator PCBs (iPCBs) have been considered appropriate; however, inclusion of different PCB congeners in various iPCB schemes makes it challenging to readily compare data. Here, using an extensive data set, we examine the performance of existing iPCB3 (PCB 138, 153, and 180), iPCB6 (iPCB3 plus 28, 52, and 101) and iPCB7 (iPCB6 plus 118) schemes, and new iPCB schemes in estimating total of PCB congeners (ΣPCB) and dioxin-like PCB toxic equivalent (dlPCB-TEQ) concentrations in sport fish fillets and the whole body of juvenile fish. The coefficients of determination (R2) for regressions conducted using logarithmically transformed data suggest that inclusion of an increased number of PCBs in an iPCB improves relationship with ÓPCB but not dlPCB-TEQs. Overall, novel iPCB3 (PCB 95, 118, and 153), iPCB4 (iPCB3 plus 138) and iPCB5 (iPCB4 plus 110) presented in this study and existing iPCB6 and iPCB7 are the most optimal indicators, while the current iPCB3 should be avoided. Measurement of ΣPCB based on a more detailed analysis (50+ congeners) is also overall a good approach for assessing PCB contamination and to track PCB origin in fish. Relationships among the existing and new iPCB schemes have been presented to facilitate their interconversion. The iPCB6 equiv levels for the 6.5 and 10 pg/g benchmarks of dlPCB-TEQ05 are about 50 and 120 ng/g ww, respectively, which are lower than the corresponding iPCB6 limits of 125 and 300 ng/g ww set by the European Union.Environmental Science and Technology 01/2015; 49:123-131.

ABSTRACT: A citation analysis was completed on articles published in Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology over the period of 1966–2009. Articles were grouped into 5 year intervals and the top 50 most-cited papers in each year interval were categorized according to research theme. Over the journal's history, articles in the toxicity research theme dominated top-cited articles published by the journal followed by articles in the environmental concentration theme and the mechanistic theme. The geographic area of submission of top-cited articles has shown large changes with time, initially being dominated by papers from North American and now dominated by papers from Asia. An examination of the citation history for the highest cited paper in each year interval indicated that the average time to achieve 90 % of total citations is 25 years.Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology 12/2014; 94(1).

Article: Amino acid sequence of the AHR1 ligand-binding domain predicts avian sensitivity to dioxin like compounds: In vivo verification in European starlings[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Research has demonstrated that the sensitivity of avian species to the embyrotoxic effects of dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) can be predicted by the amino acid sequence within the ligand binding domain of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor 1 (AHR1). The domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) has been established as a highly sensitive species to the toxic effects of DLCs. Results from genotyping and in vitro assays predict that the European starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is also highly sensitive to DLC toxicity. The objective of this study was to test that prediction in vivo. To do this, we used egg injections in field nesting starlings with 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB-126), a dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyl. Eggs were dosed with either the vehicle control or one of five doses (1.4, 7.1, 15.9, 32.1, 52.9 ng PCB-126/g egg). There was a dose-dependent increase in embryo mortality, and the LD50 (95% CI) was 5.61 (2.33-9.08) ng/g. Hepatic CYP1A4/5 mRNA expression in hatchlings also increased in a dose-dependent manner, with CYP1A4 being more induced than CYP1A5. There was no effect of dose on morphological measures, and we did not observe any overt malformations. These results indicate that other than the chicken, the European starling is the most sensitive species to the effects of PCB-126 on avian embryo mortality reported to date, which supports the prediction of relative sensitivity to DLCs based on amino acid sequence of the ARH1.

Article: Quantifying uncertainty in the trophic magnification factor related to spatial movements of organisms in a food web: Uncertainty and the Effect of Spatial Movements on TMFs[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Trophic magnification factors (TMFs) provide a method of assessing chemical biomagnification in food webs and are increasingly being used by policy makers to screen emergent chemicals. Recent reviews have encouraged the use of bioaccumulation models as screening tools for assessing TMFs for emergent chemicals of concern. The present study used a food web bioaccumulation model to estimate TMFs for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in a riverine system. The uncertainty associated with model predicted TMFs was evaluated against realistic ranges for model inputs (water and sediment PCB contamination) and variation in environmental, physiological, and ecological parameters included within the model. Finally, the model was used to explore interactions between spatial heterogeneity in water and sediment contaminant concentrations and theoretical movement profiles of different fish species included in the model. The model predictions of magnitude of TMFs conformed to empirical studies. There were differences in the relationship between the TMF and the octanol-water partitioning coefficient (KOW) depending on the modelling approach used; a parabolic relationship was predicted under deterministic scenarios whereas a linear TMF- KOW relationship was predicted when the model was run stochastically. Incorporating spatial movements by fish had a major influence on the magnitude and variation of TMFs. Under conditions where organisms are collected exclusively from clean locations in highly heterogeneous systems the results showed bias towards higher TMF estimates, for example the TMF for PCB 153 increased from 2.7 to 5.6 when fish movement was included. Small underestimations of TMFs were found where organisms were exclusively sampled in contaminated regions, although the model was found to be more robust to this sampling condition than the former for this system.

ABSTRACT: River otter scat samples (n=77) and blood samples (n=16) collected through non-invasive field collections and live-capture activities (November 2009 to October 2010) along the coastline of Southern Vancouver Island, near Victoria, British Columbia (BC) were analyzed for polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). ∑PBDEs were highest in urbanized regions of Victoria Harbour for blood (1.12μg/g lipid weight) and scat (0.35μg/g lipid weight). A location effect between zones was confirmed statistically for blood but not for scat. Specific congeners with the highest concentrations overall were BDE-47 in blood samples (0.37μg/g lipid weight) and BDE-206 (0.18μg/g lipid weight) and BDE-47 (0.16μg/g lipid weight) in scat samples. There was also an unusual finding of extremely high levels of BDE-209 in 2 scat samples (163 and 956μg/g lipid weight). The patterns of select congeners (BDE 47, 99, 100, 153, 154) measured in blood and scat were found not to be significantly different (Chi-square Test, X(2)=21.08, DF=4, p=0003). The most prominent congeners within Victoria Harbour were BDE-47 for both blood (0.82mg/kg lipid weight) and scat (0.26mg/kg lipid weight) followed by BDE-206 (0.18μg/g lipid weight) and BDE-207 (0.10μg/g lipid weight) for scat only. Comparable levels of BDE-47 were reported across the study area whereas BDE 206 and 207 were only observed in Victoria Harbour (scat). Toxicological effects of PBDEs in rivers otters from Victoria, BC are still unknown however the predominance of BDE-47 could have negative implication as an endocrine disruptor.

Article: Ecological factors contributing to variability of POPs bioaccumulation within forage fish communities of the Detroit River, Ontario, Canada[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Understanding variability of contaminant bioaccumulation within and among fish populations is critical for distinguishing between the chemical and biological mechanisms that contribute to food web biomagnification and quantifying contaminant exposure risks in aquatic ecosystems. The present study examined the relative contributions of chemical hydrophobicity (KOW) and habitat use as factors regulating variability in polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congener bioaccumulation in three lower trophic level cyprinid species across spatial and temporal scales. Bluntnose minnows (Pimephales notatus), spottail shiners (Notropis hudsonius), and emerald shiners (Notropis atherinoides) were sampled at three locations in the Detroit River. Variability in PCB concentration was evaluated with respect to several factors including chemical hydrophobicity, site, season, species, and weight using sum of squares and Levene's test of homogeneity of variance. Individual variability in bioaccumulated congener specific residues depended on chemical hydrophobicity with mid- and high- range KOW congeners (log KOW > 6.0) demonstrating the highest amount of variance compared to low KOW congeners. Different feeding strategies also contributed to the variance observed for mid-range KOW congeners among species. Here, benthic feeding specialists exhibited lower variance in PCB concentrations compared to the two generalist species. The results indicate that chemical hydrophobicity and feeding ecology not only contribute to differences in biomagnification potentials of fish, but also regulate between-individual variation in PCB concentrations both across and within fish species.

ABSTRACT: Lake Huron, the third largest freshwater lake in the world, has become increasingly oligotrophic since the early 1990s and is also currently experiencing substantial changes in species abundances and diversity. We used long-term biomonitoring data to calculate whole-body energy densities for Lake Huron rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax), lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush), and also for herring gull (Larus argentatus) eggs collected from 1989-2011. Significant temporal declines in energy densities were observed for all three species, and significant declines were found for lake trout size-at-age and herring gull egg sizes. For lake trout and herring gulls, these declines occurred during a period of reduced abundance of pelagic forage fish and increased inclusion of terrestrial food in diets of herring gulls. Declining energy density in rainbow smelt occurred concomitant with declining phytoplankton and zooplankton resources, the principal energy source for this species. Reduced production capacity in lower trophic levels appears to be affecting upper trophic levels of the Lake Huron food web, emphasizing the cascading effects of ecosystem change.Limnology and Oceanography 07/2014; 59(4):1171-1180.

Article: Ecological tracers reveal resource convergence among prey fish species in a large lake ecosystem[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We measured stable isotopes of carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) and fatty acid profiles in Lake Ontario alewife (Alosa pseudoharengus), rainbow smelt (Osmerus mordax), slimy sculpin (Cottus cognatus) and round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) collected from 1982 to 2008 to investigate how temporal variability in these ecological tracers can relate to ecosystem-level changes associated with the establishment of highly invasive dreissenid mussels.Prey fish δ15N values remained relatively constant, with only slimy sculpin exhibiting a temporal increase in δ15N. In contrast, δ13C values for alewife, rainbow smelt and, especially, slimy sculpin became less negative over time and were consistent with the benthification of the Lake Ontario food web associated with dreissenids.Principal components analysis revealed higher contributions of 14:0 and 16:1n-7 fatty acids and increasingly negative δ13C values in older samples in agreement with the greater historical importance of pelagic production for alewife, rainbow smelt and slimy sculpin.Temporal declines in fatty acid unsaturation indices and Σn-3/Σn-6 ratios, and also increased 24:0/14:0 ratios for alewife, rainbow smelt and slimy sculpin, indicated the increasing importance of nearshore production pathways for more recently collected fish and resulted in values more similar to those for round goby.These results indicate a temporal convergence of the food niche, whereas food partitioning has historically supported the coexistence of prey fish species in Lake Ontario. This convergence is consistent with changes in food-web processes associated with the invasion of dreissenid mussels.Freshwater Biology 07/2014; 59(10). DOI:10.1111/fwb.12418 · 2.91 Impact Factor
Article: Use of a Vial Equilibration Technique to Measure the Change in Fugacity Capacity of Avian Food and Feces Samples for 1,2,3,4-Tetrachlorobenzene[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A vial equilibration technique was used to estimate the fugacity capacities of food and feces samples for 1,2,3,4-tetrachlorobenzene (TCB). The method was calibrated using different volumes of n-octanol and by comparing the measured and predicted fugacity capacity (Zoct) of n-octanol for TCB. The vial equilibration technique showed linearity with increasing amounts of n-octanol added to the vial. However, the measured Zoct was on average 8.5 times lower than the literature estimate and interpreted to be influenced by co-solvent effects. The ratio of fugacity capacities of food/feces was 2.9 and was consistent with the ratio estimated using Zt calculation methods (4.3) which considers partitioning capacity of both lipids and non-lipid organic matter. These results provide experimental support to the use of lipid equivalent approaches as opposed to lipid normalization when estimating the partition capacity of biological samples containing low lipid contents.Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology 06/2014; 93(5).

Article: High levels of perfluoroalkyl acids in sport fish species downstream of a firefighting training facility at Hamilton International Airport, Ontario, Canada[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A recent study reported elevated concentrations of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and other perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in surface water, snapping turtles, and amphipods in Lake Niapenco, downstream of Hamilton International Airport, Ontario, Canada. Here, our goals were to 1) determine the extent of PFAA contamination in sport fish species collected downstream of the airport, 2) explore if the airport could be a potential source, and 3) compare fish PFOS concentrations to consumption advisory benchmarks. The PFOS levels in several sport fish collected from the three locations closest to the airport (< 40 km) were among the highest previously published in the peer-reviewed literature and also tended to exceed consumption benchmarks. The only other fish that had comparable concentrations were collected in a region affected by inputs from a major fluorinated chemical production facility. In contrast, PFOS concentrations in the two most downstream locations (> 70 km) were comparable to or below the average concentrations in fish as observed in the literature and were generally below the benchmarks. With regards to perfluorocarboxylates (PFCAs), there was no significant decrease in concentrations in fish with distance from the airport and levels were comparable to or below the average concentrations observed in the literature, suggesting that the airport is not a significant source of PFCAs in these fish species. PFOS-based aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) was used at a firefighting training facility at the airport in the 1980s to mid-1990s. Taken together, our results provide evidence that the historical use of AFFF at the airport has resulted in fish PFOS concentrations that exceed the 95th percentile concentration of values reported in the literature to date.Environment international 06/2014; 67:1–11.

ABSTRACT: The Detroit River is an international water body that has several fish consumption advisories for contaminants that affect human health and economic revenue for the USA and Canada. Despite the importance of these advisories, little progress has been made in developing effective management strategies or coordinating monitoring, research, and policy efforts between the 2 nations. We engaged 44 stakeholder organizations to increase community capacity on these issues for the Detroit River. We assessed capacity with key informant interviews and a network survey. Our analysis identified weak ties in information sharing and collaboration between countries. We used this information to improve stakeholder capacity, which included forming working groups that focused on system analysis, identification of priority issues, and definitions of organizational roles. Outcomes included outreach materials addressing environmental-justice issues and risk-analysis models of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) body burdens in fish. Our assessment of workshop participants with a longitudinal survey indicated that we increased network capacity and issue awareness in our stakeholders by providing new ways for them to work together. The engagement of stakeholders also improved research outcomes. By identifying stakeholder concerns related to scientific questions about consumption advisories early in the process, researchers were able to direct their efforts to generating translational research that better addressed stakeholder needs.Freshwater science 06/2014; 33(2):674-678.

ABSTRACT: Background: Consumption of fish is promoted as a healthy way to obtain essential fatty acids (EFA) in the diet, yet the risk of ingesting harmful contaminants remains a concern. A recent study concluded that the risk-benefit of consuming fish from the North American Laurentian Great Lakes, which sustain important commercial and recreational fisheries, is currently unclear. We report the fatty acid (FA) content in skin-off fillets of fifteen fish species from Lake Erie and assess whether recommended dietary requirements for two EFA (EPA and DHA) can be met by safely consuming Lake Erie fishes, as an example of a risk-benefit analysis. Methods: A total of 146 samples were analyzed for FA and contaminant content. A simulated fish consumption advisory (maximum recommended number of meals per month, up to 32) was calculated for each sample, and used to calculate the maximum amount of EPAþ DHA that would be consumed if the consumption advisory was followed. Results: All fifteen species had nutritionally desirable PUFA:SAFA (> 0.4) and n n-3:n-6 (> 1). Large, fatty species had the highest EPA+DHA content, but had the most restrictive consumption advisories due to high PCB concentrations. To minimize contaminant exposure while maximizing EPA+DHA intake, consumers should consider small lake whitefish and lake trout, small panfish species, and/or walleye. However, very few species had an EPA+DHA content sufficient to safely meet the highest dietary guidelines while following advisories. Conclusions: Consumption of certain Lake Erie fish, an important recreational and commercial fishery, within the limits of our simulated fish consumption advisories, can be a good supplemental source of beneficial n-3 long chain PUFA.Environmental Research 05/2014; 134:57-65.

Article: Effect of Season and Habitat on PCB Bioaccumulation by Caged Bluegill Sunfish Deployed in a Great Lakes Area of Concern[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Bluegill sunfish were caged in the Detroit River, Ontario, Canada, for 64 days to determine bioaccumulation rates of PCBs. Deployments involved placing fish in cages suspended in the water (suspended cages) compared to cages partially buried in sediments. Deployments were performed in the summer and winter months. During summer, fish exhibited significant increases in body weight and lipid content (sediment associated cages only), whereas in winter, body weights did not change. Lipid normalized PCB concentrations and PCB mass in fish increased significantly with time in summer deployments, but not in winter. Fish continued to accumulate PCBs over the 64 days caging duration except for PCBs 33, 49, and 52 in sediment associated cages. There were no significant differences in the bioaccumulation of PCBs between cage types. This study confirms that biomonitoring studies using caged fish should ensure chemical toxicokinetics are consistent when comparing bioaccumulation results among sites and/or time points.Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology 04/2014; 93(1).

ABSTRACT: Fish consumption advisories have been issued for the Great Lakes generally based on the most restrictive contaminant. For the Canadian waters of the Great Lakes, toxaphene causes minor restrictions only in Lake Superior, i.e., 3% of the total (restrictive + unrestrictive) advisories issued. However, the significance of the hazard posed by toxaphene in fish is not clear since more restrictive advisories due to other priority contaminants may be masking the less restrictive advisories. We simulated fish consumption advisories for the Toxaphene-only scenario by neglecting the presence of contaminants other than toxaphene, and compared with the issued advisories as well as with the published simulated Mercury-only scenario. Restrictive advisories under the Toxaphene-only scenario compared to the issued toxaphene related advisories would increase from 3% to 14%, < 1% to 4%, and 0% to 2% for Lakes Superior, Huron and Ontario, respectively, and remain at 0% for Lake Erie. For Lake Superior, most of the restrictive Toxaphene-only advisories would be for fatty fish. Overall, the Toxaphene-only advisories would be significantly less restrictive compared to the issued advisories, and also generally less restrictive compared to the Mercury-only scenario. These results suggest that toxaphene is less of a concern than PCBs (including dioxin-like PCBs), dioxins–furans and mercury from the perspective of health risk to humans consuming Great Lakes fish; elevated toxaphene is mainly a concern for human consumers of Lake Superior fatty fish. Our results suggest that the routine monitoring of toxaphene in other Canadian waters of the Great Lakes and Lake Superior lean/pan fish could be discontinued.Journal of Great Lakes Research 03/2014; 40(1).

Audit-ocalypse Now: How Businesses Can Survive an IRS Audit
Being audited can seem like a slow-motion nightmare, a nightmare that 33,000 companies experienced in 2013 alone. However, being audited doesn't have to send you down a rabbit hole of terror. Whether you're being audited or just preparing for the possibility of an audit, this article will help you understand what to do and how to survive.
If you're being audited right now, the most important thing to do is…
Try to Relax
I know what you're thinking: "that's easy for you to say!" But in reality, being audited is not the end of the world and it won't be the end of your business (unless you really were egregiously evading paying your taxes.) Also, just because the IRS tells you that you owe a certain amount doesn't mean you will have to pay the whole thing in the end. If you can prove that your tax responsibility is less than the IRS says it is, you can argue and win by being motivated, assertive, and of course, organized. [Continue Reading...]
Are Your Workers Employees or Contractors? How Getting This Wrong Could Cost You
There are a couple of ways to see whether the people you hire are employees or contractors. What we don't recommend: Crossing your fingers and hoping for the best, closing your eyes and pointing, or drawing straws.
Why you need to know the difference between employees and contractors
In the most famous example of its kind, Microsoft miscategorized thousands of employees over many years. In the end, the employees sued the tech giant for missed benefits, including coverage in the company's 401(k) plan and a discount stock purchase plan, for the period during which they had been miscategorized. This was after Microsoft paid back taxes and penalties. The case lasted for eight years and went all the way to the Ninth Circuit Court, which determined that Microsoft did have to pay its employees for missed benefits…to the tune of $97 million.
Don't let this happen to you.
How to tell the difference
A lawsuit of this size happening to you is unlikely. [Continue Reading...]
You Only Have Yourself to Blame — CEO, Hire Thyself
This article was originally published on July 1, 2015 via my LinkedIn profile.
It's not a tough concept to grasp–the best way to avoid turnover is to hire the right fit from the start. Which is why I'm always surprised by how little attention many CEOs give to recruiting. As co-founder of inDinero, I've worked hard to build the company in my vision, based on my values, so looking for myself in job candidates is a great way to hire individuals who will thrive. But how do you pick your counterparts out of the pack?
First, look inward
Self-awareness and emotional intelligence are step one. As I started building inDinero (for a second time), I read many books on recruiting and interviewing while personally looking through countless job descriptions to list the attributes and skills that spoke to me. It was this act of writing and picking top traits that allowed me to decipher the criteria for future teammates that were actually important to me (hunger, moxie, and monster work ethic) and outweighed a list of competencies.

Bon Voyage to Bon Appetit: IRS Announces Plan to Tax Free Employee Lunches
From Google's gourmet cafeterias to trays of cold cuts in tiny startups, Silicon Valley companies have been feeding their employees free lunches for years now. It's a big part of the reason why tech companies like Google have the fun-loving and employee-centered reputation they currently enjoy. However, the IRS has been watching from afar, hungrily waiting for the opportunity to tax these lunches, and they've finally found it.
The IRS is now calling these free lunches a "taxable fringe benefit," which means that employers now face extra fees for providing free lunches to their employees. This is no small sum, either. Let's say an employee eats one free meal a day: if a single lunch has a market value of, say, $10, a company may end up paying taxes on an additional $2600 per employee annually. Although big companies like Google and Facebook can easily absorb this additional tax burden, smaller startups may be forced to give up their free lunches–which may spell the end of a Silicon Valley tradition.

Small but mighty! How small businesses build major muscle starting with their accounting
Not every organization is run by an accountant, and that goes double for startups and other small business ventures. Nonetheless, most business owners and visionaries quickly find that accounting and other back office tasks are an essential part of any infrastructure (even if that "structure" is housed in your basement or garage).
Businesses of all sizes stand their strongest when they have a solid handle on financial processes to keep all moving parts in order. Building this is also one of the things smaller businesses struggle with the most. As a lean machine, it is likely that you don't have the resources to allocate to an in-house CFO or CPA so it is even more important you learn the best ways to leverage your administrative aspects in order to pump things up elsewhere within your company.
First off… What is accounting?
In a nutshell, accounting is how you identify, quantify and communicate your economic profile to all stakeholders involved in your business so they can make informed decisions about what is best for the business and its bottom line. [Continue Reading...]

When it comes to getting the money to run and grow your business, there are a few different options available. Some of the best financing options for any business are loans from banks or credit unions, or microloans.

Client Spotlight: Beeminder, Reminders With a Sting
Today's blog is all about you: our clients! From now on, we will be regularly posting "Client Spotlight" articles highlighting some of inDinero's awesome clients, their goals and visions, and how inDinero helps them simplify their accounting and finances. Today, we want to take a moment to shine the spotlight on Beeminder, an inDinero client who specializes in helping its customers reach their goals through a very unique and effective incentivizing process.

Any quantifiable, graphable goal works — it could be weight loss, reading a book, even reducing your time spent on Facebook — and as long as you stay on track toward meeting your goals, the service is free. But if you don't, Beeminder charges you — which users typically don't mind, since they gain such value from the product. [Continue Reading...]
The Three Kings of Broke-dom: Spectacular Ways That Famous People Lost it All— and What Your Company Can Learn From Them
You're rich and successful: what could possibly go wrong? Quite a bit, in fact. It's remarkably easy to go broke when you have a lot of money, and although stories of famous people losing it all are well-known, companies lose it all for a lot of the same reasons. Let's explore the stories of some of the most incredibly irresponsible millionaires in history and see if we can't draw some wisdom from their broke-dom.

Clock table COOL looking, but VERY difficult
Patti from Winchester, VA – Verified Buyer
Seriously considered returning this, but it was purchased on sale (thankfully), and then stored for quite some time prior to assembly. When we did assemble it-- it was VERY difficult. Ridiculously difficult. I could never had done it alone. To get the pieces together, my husband had to squeeze the legs to the point where we thought the table might break. As other reviewers stated, the holes are not properly sized. After the odyssey of assembling this table, THEN the hands of the clock were off and once every hour got stuck on top of each other. I bent and fixed them, but it was just one more irritant! Not sure I'd buy this again. For sure not without the sale. If you can handle the assembly, it's a nice finished piece.
A really cute table!
Terri from Peoria, AZ – Verified Buyer
This is a really cute table for the price. Don't expect a super high quality piece of furniture and you'll enjoy it too. It fits perfectly in my livingroom and goes great with the decor. My only real complaint is that there were no instructions included on how to put it together so, being Polish, I had a little trouble! Luckily my husband was able to get it right. It arrived very quickly and in two large boxes.
Looks great but is poorly constructed
Sandra from Lincoln, RI – Verified Buyer
This coffee table looks great with that old world feel I was looking for, and is the perfect size for the seating arrangement in my professional office. However, it is poorly constructed and is very unstable. Just barely touching it makes it wobble so that it feels like it will just fall apart.
Nice Style and Look but poor Import Quality
Robert from North Easton, MA – Verified Buyer
Pros: The style is a nice copy of more expensive looking table clocks Looks very nice in the sitting area in my Master Bedroom Cons: The Quality is poor the metal frame work is just painted tubing not very strong and does not fit together well and the glass is not beleved just clear glass.Not a problem for me but it came with no assembly instruction and the legs don't line up
Table is OK for the price
Christine from Silverdale, WA – Verified Buyer
I was looking for a compact, inexpensive coffee table for a conversation area. This table is both compact and inexpensive, but isn't very well made. However, I was willing to sacrifice quality in order to spare expense. I am using this table is a conversation area that receives very infrequent use. I don't think that this table would be a good choice for an area that gets used daily.
It's Ok
Morgan from San Diego, CA – Verified Buyer
I'm learning that Wayfair has a lot of cheesy furniture at high prices. This piece is flimsy and it takes practice getting the glass to lay right. You can see suction cups through the glass. I'm not impressed and wouldn't spend more than $170.00
Nice looking but has problems with hands on the clock
Christine from Cedar City, UT – Verified Buyer
Nice looking table with clock, old world looking. However, the first one I ordered the hands did not work and we could not fix it. I called Wayfair and they sent us out another right away! The table is nice looking and Wayfair was awesome, but I am not sure that the clock part works very well. Pros: Nice looking table Cons: Clock hands do not work well, does not keep good time
Great for small area
Theresa from Spokane, WA – Verified Buyer
Great looking table for small areas. However the pins on the stabilizing ring at base did not line up with the leg slots
Love this.
Sharon from Spokane, WA – Verified Buyer
I love this coffee table. It looks great in front of my sectional and goes so well in my clock themed room.
clock table
Patsey from Waldron, AR – Verified Buyer
We received this via FedEx today. Only took my husband minutes to put together. One screw had come out of the clock bottom, but Gorilla glue made it stay in. It looks exactly as it was pictured! It is beautiful!!
OUR SKU # EHQ1399Coffee Table with Clock is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: 75648

Hey guys, you know that I've been organizing a few parties since yesterday already and I'm really glad that there is this thread here now. I will just post all the info of the things I've organized so far and then let this thread do the rest of the work! So, here we go!

Facebook event of a listening party in Portugal: http://t.co/4oCGtZom
I really want to organise a listening party in London! I think it'd be really cool to have a massive group of us listening to it all together! I also doubt that a lot of people aren't going to be willing to do it at their own houses, so what I was thinking is to do it outdoors? I'm thinking we could just connect the music to outdoor speakers and play the album? We could go to a park and just hang out on a field or something? I know a few parks where there aren't that many people (So I'm not talking about Hyde Park or anything) because we don't want to disrupt other people. But if I was to organise something like this, what would you guys think? Yay or ney? xD
My thread is still valid.
I have 5 big-ass dudes are my house "bouncing" the event. So no riff-raff.
It will take place in a house in New Brunswick, NJ and I will be serving food.
PM for details, as I'm not posting a house address on a public forum.
I have already invited members of the LPU and LPA as well as have a facebook event.
All are welcome.

Located in the beautiful Berkshire Mountains of western Massachusetts, Tanglewood is one of the world's most beloved music festivals and serves as the summer home for the famed Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO).

Performers include pianists Emanuel Ax and Peter Serkin, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter and vocalist James Taylor, as well as the Tanglewood Festival Chorus, John Oliver, conductor. The wide-ranging program, taped on July 14, includes Aaron Copland's "Fanfare for The Common Man"; Leonard Bernstein's Three Dance Episodes from On the Town; selections from the Great American Songbook ("Over the Rainbow," "Shall We Dance" and "Old Man River"); Franz Joseph Haydn's Piano Concerto in D, 2nd and 3rd movements; Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Andante cantabile for cello and strings; Pablo de Sarasate's Carmen Fantasy, for violin and orchestra; Maurice Ravel's "La Valse"; and Ludwig van Beethoven's Choral Fantasy.
"The BSO is one of the many great regional arts institutions to be featured on Great Performances over its four decade history," said David Horn, executive producer, Great Performances. "GP has enjoyed a long association with the BSO and its summertime home at the Tanglewood festival, dating back to our extensive broadcast collaborations with Leonard Bernstein. We are delighted to return to Tanglewood for this 75th anniversary concert, which also represents a wonderful homecoming celebration for us."
