NUI Galway Launches New Engineering and Informatics Taught Masters Programmes
Wednesday, 1 May 2013
NUI Galway's College of Engineering and Informatics has announced that it will provide a suite of new taught postgraduate programmes across various Engineering and Informatics subject areas. Commencing in September 2013, the full-time, one year postgraduate programmes have been devised in response to the requirement by Engineers Ireland who, from 2013 onwards, require graduate engineers to hold an accredited Master degree (Level 9) to satisfy the educational standard to become a Chartered Engineer. Professor Gerard Lyons, Dean, College of Engineering and Informatics said: "These new programmes are excellent examples of how NUI Galway engages with industry in order to inform our postgraduate programmes. Engineering and ICT are key strategic priorities for Ireland and for NUI Galway. The University recognises the importance of equipping our graduates with the skills and knowledge needed to support the rapidly growing engineering and ICT sectors in Ireland and abroad. We believe that these Masters programmes are very timely for Ireland and that its graduates will play a significant role in harnessing the opportunities and challenges for tomorrow's economy." These new innovative Masters programmes are designed to provide highly qualified graduates with advance engineering and informatics skills and are aimed at those who wish to work professionally as a Chartered Engineer. "Our students benefit from the University's unique combination of ground-breaking academic expertise, professional practice and access world-class facilities. These new courses are a wonderful opportunity for students to explore many advanced topics in engineering and informatics", said Professor Mike Hartnett, Vice-Dean for Teaching and Learning with the College of Engineering and Informatics. The first intake of students for the new Masters programmes across the disciplines of Civil, Mechanical, Energy and Biomedical Engineering will be in September 2013. Masters programmes for Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Computer Science and Information Technology will commence in 2014. Applications are now open and the deadline is Saturday, 1 June 2013. Applications will be accepted via the PAC application process, on which the new courses are listed.

Bio-Diversifying Agriculture and Diet is Crucial to Global Health, according to new book
Wednesday, 1 May 2013
While over 1 billion people are overweight and obese around the world, an estimated 868 million are undernourished. This paradox is explored in a new book, Diversifying Food and Diets, co-edited by Professor Danny Hunter who is an Adjunct Lecturer in Botany and Plant Science (BPS) at NUI Galway. The book explores the concept of agricultural biodiversity, in the context of the challenge of under-nutrition in many parts of the developing world and unhealthy diets in developed countries. Agricultural biodiversity has a key role to play in food and nutritional security, according the book's authors. Such biodiversity can be a safeguard against hunger, as well as a source of nutrients for improved dietary diversity and quality. It can also strengthen local food systems and environmental sustainability. Currently, 195 million children around the world, under the age of five, are stunted from malnutrition. Meanwhile, in developed countries, obesity has been linked to the rise of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease. "It's a question not only of the quantities of food people are eating but also the quality of that food," explains Professor Hunter. Professor Hunter is the Theme Leader for Agrobiodiversity in the NUI Galway Plant and AgriBiosciences Research Centre (PABC). He says: "It is essential to understand how the global agricultural system and the benefits derived from agricultural biodiversity influence the drivers of global dietary consumption patterns, nutrition and health status, in particular in the developing world. The lack of diversity is shown to be a crucial issue, particularly in the developing world where diets consist mainly of starchy staples with less access to nutrient-rich sources of food such as animal proteins, fruits and vegetables." He adds: "As this book highlights, local biodiversity has the potential for contributing to food security and nutrition, as well as for enhancing adaptation to global climate change. Some of these species are highly nutritious and have multiple uses." Diversifying Food and Diets uses examples and case studies from around the globe to explore strategies for improving nutrition and diets, and identifies gaps in current knowledge that need to be addressed to better promote agricultural biodiversity. Case studies include a project in India which promotes nutritious native millets, efforts to identify and develop nutritionally rich indigenous vegetables and fruit trees in sub-Saharan Africa, and a UK-based community group's urban gardening approach. The Head of the Plant and AgriBiosciences Centre at NUI Galway, Professor Charles Spillane highlighted that: "This book makes a valuable and timely contribution to efforts to improve public health through dietary and nutritional interventions. As all of the foods that we eat are either directly or indirectly derived from plants, the health status of millions of people in both developed and developing countries could be improved through improved access to a wider diversity of nutritious plant-based foods. Key challenges for both mitigation and adaptation strategies regarding adverse climate change impacts will be to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture while making agricultural systems more resilient. The development of low-environmental footprint crop systems which can maintain prodictivity and harness benefits of agricultural biodiversity remains a major challenge facing humanity." Professor Hunter emphasised that while the book aimed to highlight some of the available options for improving the use of agricultural biodiversity, there was no silver bullet for the serious challenges facing the global population in the production, distribution and healthy consumption of food. "People need to consider ways of diversifying and improving their diets, which really does require a major transformation of the global food system. This will become an even greater challenge with the global population expected to reach around nine billion by 2050." -ends-

NUI Galway Hosts Exhibition of Irish Artist Thomas Ryan
Thursday, 2 May 2013
NUI Galway will present an exhibition of the work of prolific Irish artist, Thomas Ryan, who works in oils, pastels, pencil, charcoal and watercolour, and has been painting for over 60 years. Thomas Ryan is renowned for imaginative re-workings of historical and religious episodes and he is also heralded as an important chronicler of the changing face of Ireland, through his portraiture, and paintings of exteriors and interiors of buildings. The exhibition will include two of his large historical paintings, 'The Flight of the Earls' and 'G.P.O. 1916', both oil on canvas and painted in the great European Tradition. These paintings, which were selected for the exhibition by Thomas Ryan and the NUI Galway Arts and Theatre Office, normally hang inside Dublin Castle and Leinster House, respectively, and have been generously loaned by the artist and the Institutions. Fionnuala Gallagher, Arts Officer at NUI Galway, said: "This is a real coup for the University and the city and we are delighted to accept works of such calibre. This is a unique opportunity to witness a master in our midst." On show as part of the exhibition Thomas Ryan: Selected Workswill be portraits, self-portraits, religious paintings, interiors, still lives and landscapes, many loaned from the artist's home, for this 'retrospective' of his career. Two portrait highlights on show are a pastel drawing, 'Seán Keating, aged 82 years' and a drawing of the late Professor of Marine Science, 'Padraic O'Céidigh', which is part of the NUI Galway Collection. In addition, there is a selection of watercolours from a recent project, Dublin and Thereabouts, when Mr Ryan painted the buildings and places that took his fancy in Dublin, 2010-2011, all painted directly from the subject, and mostly in one sitting. Born in Limerick in 1929, Thomas Ryan trained in the School of Art, Limerick under Richard Butcher and at the National College of Art and Design, under Seán Keating and Maurice MacGonigal. He was President of Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts from 1982 to 1992, is a Founder Member of the European Council of National Academies of Fine Art (Madrid), and an Honorary Member of the Royal Academy, London and Scottish Academy, Edinburgh. His work hangs in major collections and he was the designer of the one pound coin and millennium fifty pence. He lives in County Meath, and produces most of his work in his studio. Thomas Ryan: Selected Workswill be officially opened on Tuesday, 15 May at 5pm by the University's Secretary, Gearóid Ó Conluain and Thomas Ryan will be in attendance. The exhibition will run from 15 May to 7 June in the Mechanical Soils Lab (adjacent to Áras na Mac Léinn) from 11am – 4pm, Monday to Saturday. -ENDS-

Laughter is the Best Medicine
Thursday, 2 May 2013
Galway hosts Ireland's first Laughter Championship Ireland's firstLaughter Championship will take place on Sunday, 5 May at 2pm in the Galway Harbour Hotel, Galway in aid ofJigsaw, Galway. Organised by NUI Galway student, Siobhan Kavanagh, the charity event coincides with next month's Well Being in Ireland conference, where researchers from all over the world will gather in Galway to discuss the design of a national well-being index for Ireland. Laughter Championships are a new craze taking off worldwide re invented by Albert Nerenberg. Contestants are asked to demonstrate different types of laugher (e.g. a maniacal laugh or a diabolical laugh) and are then judged on their technique. The main aim is to improve the expression of positive human emotions. The growing popularity of Laugher Championships is partly due to the rise of Laughter Yoga, a modernised variant of Hasya Yoga. Laughter yoga is an aerobic exercise which involves breathing exercises, laughter exercises and guided meditation (yoga nidra), to provide participants with a safe space to laugh. Siobhan Kavanagh is a PhD student in Child and Youth Research in NUI Galway's School of Psychology and a member of the Irish Laughter Yoga association. Her research with Dr Padraig MacNeela, Lecturer in the University's School of Psychology, investigates the impact of Laughter Yoga on well-being. "Although laughter has been described as the best medicine, researchers are only starting to understand the positive effects it can have on the body and mind, or indeed on well-being. Research on laughter yoga has found many benefits, for example, increased levels of life satisfaction, positive emotion and decreased stress levels. However, to date there has only been a handful of different studies completed, and a lot of the 'evidence' for laughter yoga comes from humour based research. We need to be mindful when we are telling people about the positive effects of laughter yoga, that research is still in the early stages. However, ancedotally, laughter yoga participants report a range of benefits", explains Siobhan. The event is free to attend with live entertainment, including laughter yoga demonstrations, face-painting, games and music and there is a €10 charge to enter the championship, with the chance of winning the title of Irish Laughter Champion. All proceeds will be donated to Jigsaw, a free and confidential support service for young people in Galway city and county. All competitors will be required to attend a workshop at 1pm in preparation for the laughter championships. For further information on competing, or to volunteer at the event email firstname.lastname@example.com. -ENDS-

NUI Galway Host Conference on Future Role of EU Structural Funds
Thursday, 2 May 2013
A Major Test for the European Union – stop spending taxpayers' money to Institutionalise EU citizens. There is a clamour around Europe to ensure that increasingly scarce European monies are not spent on institutionalising its citizens but are used instead to help States to promote a philosophy of living independently and being included in the community. To highlight the issue and press claims for a change in the Funds, a broad spectrum of European interest groups covering the disabled and the elderly, as well as national and international policy makers, will be brought together at a major conference organised by the Centre for Disability Law and Policy at NUI Galway on Friday, 3 May. The issue is urgent as negotiations to agree new Regulations governing the EU Structural Funds are in their final stages. Advocates are not calling for more money – simply for an end to spending the available monies on institutions and a commitment of available resources to help the process of community living. The conference, 'Community Living for All' - A Conference on the Future Role of the European Union Structural Funds to Advance Community Living for Older People and People with Disabilities', is organised in association with the Irish Presidency of the European Council with the support of European Foundation Centre (EFC), Belgium and Fundación ONCE, Spain. Professor Gerard Quinn, Director of the Centre for Disability Law and Policy at NUI Galway, said: "Ireland has taken initial positive steps in the right direction with the 'Ending Congregated Settings' report and the National Positive Ageing Strategy. We have to make sure that our taxpayers' money is not being used via the Structural Funds to achieve the opposite effect elsewhere in Europe." Professor Quinn continued: "Both disabled and older citizens have a common cause here. We owe it to our fellow disabled and older EU citizens across Europe to end bad practices and help generate real added-value put of diminishing EU funds. It is very important that your voice is heard loud and clear." The rejection of the conditionalities proposed by the European Commission for accessing and using the funds has particular legal implications as it probably exposes the EU to legal liability under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This is the first UN human rights treaty to be ratified by the EU as such. Professor Quinn added: "What are our citizens to think if the EU ratifies such a major international instrument and then keeps it at arms length where it matters most. We certainly cannot preach to others if we fail to ensure basic respect for the convention in how major EU financial instruments are crafted. The conditions proposed by the Commission or something with the same effect have to be restored to the Regulations to keep faith with Europe's 80 million persons with disabilities." The conference will be opened by Minister of State Kathleen Lynch T.D., who has responsibilities both for older people and people with disabilities, and one of the sessions will be chaired by Minister of State Brian Hayes T.D. The keynote address at the conference will be delivered by Professor Jerome Bickenbach on the unity of purpose between the disabled and older European citizens on community living and ageing in pace. It will be addressed by the European Commission (DG Justice and DG Regio), the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, The EU Fundamental Rights Agency and high level representatives for European civil society (European Disability Forum) and Age Platform Europe. Jan Jarab, Regional Representative for Europe of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, who will be a participant in the conference, said: "The Office of the High Commissioner is committed to the promotion of community living and inclusion in society for older persons as well as for children in need of alternative care and persons with disabilities." Professor Quinn added: "We are proud of where Ireland has come from and its clear aspirations for the future. But the rights we take for granted should not be confined to us. Lets be both smart and ethical in how the EU spends our money. This conference will explore the need for these conditions and whether or how they can be achieved as the drafting of the new regulations reach a climax in early summer 2013." All are welcome and no prior knowledge of the Structural Funds is assumed or required. More information on the conference is available at http://www.nuigalway.ie/cdlp/events/community_living_for_all.html and individuals can register at www.conference.ie. -ENDS-

'The Impossible' offers portrait of humanity amid tragedy
There are so many tragedies, man-made and natural, that sometimes we rely on shorthand to remember them.
For instance, the Dec. 26, 2004, Indian Ocean tsunami, which claimed more than 200,000 lives, is regarded as among the deadliest disasters in recorded history. And although Westerners represented about 1% of its victims, it is remembered by many because of one of its survivors was supermodel Petra Nemcova. »Read Full Article

Long-time readers will remember that the bane (alright, one of the banes) of our existence is a shockingly ugly two-family building at 220 Greene Avenue that was completed early last year. The middle-finger to the neighborhood sat on the market for several months before finally selling last October for an eye-popping $1,250,000. Perhaps suffering from a case of buyer's remorse, the new owner dangled the property back on the market just three months later for what would have been a money-losing $1,200,000 before finding some renters to move in. Since then, the presence of the new building effectively sabotaged the sale of the lot next door, which was came on the market back in February for $650,000 and has since been reduced to $583,000. (Presumably it's worth even less now under the new zoning.) Anyway, the current owner of Number 220 is now trying to unload the building for a whopping $1,400,000, a price made all the more surprising by the fact that, according to the new listing, at least one of the two units is occupied by Section 8 tenants who we can't imagine are paying enough to cover the mortgage. At least the owner's upgraded from a Craigslist bottom-feeder who misrepresented the property last time around with fake photos to a broker at Fillmore who may not realize quite what a tough sale he's signed on for.

I believe the style is "Early Rikers"; how very thoughtful to erect a satellite prison facility so convenient to all!
Gaza Chic
No wonder the real estate bubble is leading to foreclosures. What kind of idiot pays $1.25m for a cinderblock nightmare that's rented to Sect. 8 tenants? There's no way the rent roll is covering the mortgage… the only value in that house is as an eventual teardown.
Fillmore has time/money to waste.
i am still laughing at the "gaza chic" comment and its 15 mins later
i think that this must mean that my home is worth $35 million.
How do you know one of the tenants is Section 8? Seems like you are inappropriately in everyone's business these days…
Couldn't this be considered substandard, even for Section 8 tenants?
Truly shiteous… but with a terrace and plants!
The Fillmore real estate listing for this building says "Section 8 Tenants."
Seems like you are inappropriately jumping to conclusions these days…
it's actually really nice for a prison
cuz we can read the plain english in the listing
I wonder if the developer/builder truly understands where he went wrong? I wonder if he might be thinking, "gee, could I have built it too ugly…"
oh, wait, it looks like he actually managed to find a sucker to buy it. never mind (re. 11:58)
Anon 11:55, that is a huge insult to Gaza. Note that as of yesterday this schmuck still hasn't fixed the window that's been smashed for months.
Perfect for the discriminating survivalist or nostalgic ex-con.
When the zombies attack you'll all be wishing you lived in this bunker.
How about something more constructive; For all the architects out there, how could you change the facade of this building to make it acceptable? Knock it out and add a glass front?
How about a rendering or two and a budget?
Gaza Chic can only be remedied with Jewish Lightening.
looks like ministorage for humans. who bought this in the first place, investor?
"How about something more constructive; For all the architects out there, how could you change the facade of this building to make it acceptable? Knock it out and add a glass front?
How about a rendering or two and a budget?"
I've always thought it would be an interesting design project to take something this awkward and try to make something out of it.

"For all the architects out there, how could you change the placement of the dual meters next to the front door to make it acceptable?
How about doing one of those architectural makeovers the Times was running for a while? Maybe if all the homeowners within a three block radius kicked in $100 we could help the owner at least fix the exterior.
Maybe we could convince Christo to wrap it. permanently.
You know there isn't a damn thing you can do about the building of ugly buildings in Brooklyn, is there? This is probably the thousandth brownstoner post of new ugly buildings. So in lieu of effective action or advocacy of any sort, Brownstoner perseverates in posting on architectural uglies for what reason? To give people a opportunity for a free for all mudball throw. To make it harder to sell it? To mock the builders? If you had some ulterior positive motive except self indulgent self congratulation, this kind of post would be easier to take.
And do you really think the buyer got buyers remorse? Give me a break. Not that it has any meaning or significance in the cosmic scope of things but supposedly the owner had difficulty with his financing.
"How about doing one of those architectural makeovers the Times was running for a while? Maybe if all the homeowners within a three block radius kicked in $100 we could help the owner at least fix the exterior."
Just a hunch, but most of the interest re-dos of this building would involve chopping out a lot of square feet — this idea tends to be a non-starter for owners obsessed with their square foot numbers.
Just reworking the facade would be lipstick on a pig, IMO.

"Perseverate"? Nice "word"!
It is extremely valuable to critique new buildings in Brooklyn, good and bad. A lot of people read this site. It can't hurt to have a dialogue among a large group of passionate people about these aesthetic issues. And yeah, if we manage to bankrupt just one asshole who builds this kind of shit, the world will be a better place.
Form follows function, boiled down to its essence. You have an apartment building, it needs a door to get in. You have an apartment on the first floor, it needs a window. You have an apartment on the second floor, it needs a window. Ditto third floor. City says you have to set back after the third floor, you set back. You have an apartment on the fourth floor, it needs a window.
That's architecture – changing anything would ruin the essence. The real crime is the tenant who has ruined everything by adding flowers.
If that tenant could add some ivy or some kind of hanging plants that will eventually cover that entire facade, it will benefit the entire nabe. We always bitch and moan about all the mega-monstrosities being put up all over Brooklyn, so an ugly turd of a building like this tends to fall through the cracks. That's it…maybe it could fall through the cracks!
Main Entry: per·sev·er·ate Pronunciation Guide
Pronunciation: p(r)sevrt
Function: intransitive verb
Inflected Form(s): -ed/-ing/-s
Etymology: Latin perseveratus, past participle of perseverare to persevere
1 : to manifest the phenomenon of perseveration
2 : to repeat or recur persistently : go back over previously covered ground
In that case, maybe you can explain why so many shmucks out there perseverate in building esthetic insults like this, and then try to flog them on the market?
perverse-severance maybe? In light of recent financial news, what will this be worth next summer?
Count me in for the $100. I live around the corner.
I am not a designer, but the owner might be able to save this building (and really that is like bringing back the dead) but maybe putting up a thick wood exterior like some other creative townhouse owners have done in the past in Brooklyn. I think there have been posts here about them and people have generally been favorable. It would hide the nasty color and give it a better feel. Maybe a very dark wood? Thoughts?
Maybe if they tie a big red ribbon around the "house", someone will steal it!
Never mind perseverate. I'd like to make this baby dissaparate — far, far away.

OK, you seem determined to do this. Let me give you one more bit of advice and a horror story.
If you speak to pro wedding photographers you will find that most have one steadfast rule -- only the photographer and his assistants can take photos in the church (or wherever the ceremony is held). Anyone can take photos at the reception but the church is off limits. Many include this restriction in their contract and urge that quests be so advised. Some pros go as far as to have an assistant check the guests when they enter. I like to think of this rule as the "Uncle Maury and his Instamatic" rule. There is usually one Uncle Maury at most weddings. If you are particularly unfortunate there may be more than one. Uncle Maury will try to steal your shots; he will cut in front of you or shoot over your shoulder or just get in the way. Not only is this annoying, it is distracting. Many pros will find that if they cannot neutralize Uncle Maury they are apt to find themselves accused of charging too much. This usually goes something like tis, "You charge too much. Look at these photos that Uncle Maury took, they're just like yours and it didn't cost us a penny". Be warned, be very warned.
My horror story is this. I promised to take photos for friends. When I showed up on the day of the ceremony I was appalled to find both the bride and the groom stoned out of their minds. Whenever I would point a camera at the bride she would start crying. This was not a ladylike sniff and the dabbing of a handkerchief to the eye, this was shoulder shuddering sobs with copious tears. Nothing I could do would calm this behavior. The groom had a different problem. He appeared to have lost control of one eyelid. This made him look like he was constantly winking at the camera. Needless to say the couple was unhappy and I was threatened with a law suite and had to eat all my expenses.
Anyway good luck and I hope things go well for you. Post with what happened with your shoot.

Red Bluff Technical Report Abstract
|Volume 7
S.M. Borthwick, R.R. Corwin, and C.R. Liston, 1999. Investigations of Fish Entrainment by Archimedes and Internal Helical Pumps at the Red Bluff Research Pumping Plant, Sacramento River, California: February 1997 - June 1998. Red Bluff Research Pumping Plant Report Series, Volume 7, United States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, Red Bluff, California and Denver. Colorado. 61 pp.
The overall goal of the Red Bluff Research Pumping Plant program is to determine whether Archimedes and/or internal helical pumps can be used to deliver water to canals without harming fish inhabiting the Sacramento River. This report contains results of entrainment monitoring of fish from the Sacramento River during February 1997 through June 1998. Objectives addressed include: determining if differences exist in numbers, species, survival and injury of fish entrained into each of the two types of-pumps; and estimating the number of juvenile chinook salmon in each of the four Sacramento River salmon runs entrained annually into the pumps.
Twenty-nine species of fish, 16 native to the Sacramento River, were captured during entrainment monitoring. Juvenile chinook salmon was the most frequently entrained species followed by prickly sculpin, lamprey, Sacramento sucker, Sacramento pikeminnow, and threespine stickleback. These six species comprised 95 percent of the 17,530 fish entrained. Nearly 90 percent of the entrained chinook were fall ran. Seasonal patterns of chinook salmon entrainment followed those of chinook abundance in the river. Assessment of diel patterns of entrainment revealed that 8 1 percent of chinook were entrained at night. This has important implications for pump operations. If it becomes necessary to decrease the number of chinook entrained, a substantial reduction could be made by puinping only during the day.
Ninety-two percent of entrained fish were <1 00 mm in length. Most chinook salmon (84 percent) were less than 40 min fork length. The lowest median fork length for chinook salmon occurred September through October, and December through February reflecting the outmigration of winter and fall chinook fry, respectively.
Because the plant was operated for biological evaluations during all seasons, the number of fish entrained during this study was higher than would occur if the plant were used only for delivering water. Sixty-five percent of the chinook entrained were collected during trials conducted in December and January, months that the plant would not operate if functioning for water deliveries. The winter of 1997-1998 was wet so the peak of fall chinook outmigration occurred during the winter months and relatively few remained to be vulnerable to spring pumping. In a dry winter, however, spring entrainment rates would be expected to be relatively high since the peak outmigration of fall chinook would be delayed until spring, coinciding with high water demands and continuous pumping.
During this study, 24-hr trials were conducted simultaneously with the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service's rotaryscrew trap sampling to determine the proportion of chinook salmon in the river entrained into the pumping plant during different seasons of the year. Preliminary data from October through December 1997 reveal that the upper estimate of the percentage of riverine chinook entrained into the plant ranged from approximately 0.05 to 0.60. This is well below the the 1.5 to 5.5 percent that was predicted based upon the assumption that chinook are entrained in proportion to the amount of flow diverted into the plant. The low entrainment rate is likely due to the plant intakes being positioned near the bottom of the river whereas the majority of outinigrating chinook salmon inhabit the upper water column.
The number of fish entrained into Archimedes 2 was significantly greater than the number entrained into Archimedes I or the internal helical pump, which were not different. Survival of chinook recovered from the holding tanks was 98 percent for each of the Archimedes pumps and 94 percent for the internal helical pump. Survival of fish other than chinook was 95 percent for the Archimedes pumps and 94 percent for the helical pump. The differences in survival among pumps was not statistically significant for chmook or other species. Percent survival values should not be interpreted strictly as pump passage survival. Captured fish also passed a screening facility, traveled curved bypass channels, up a dewatering ramp, and were routed into a tank where they were held with debris and other fish for up to 14 hours. Factors besides pump passage could affect the survival of entrained fish collected from the holding tanks.
Considering all three pumps, mortality of chinook salmon entrained into the RPP was 3 percent, and the percentage with sublethal injuries was 2.1. This 5.1 percent mortality and injury is less than anticipated by the Biological Opinion (National Marine Fisheries Service 1993) for the Archimedes pumps (10 percent) or the internal helical pump (>10 percent, even as high as 90 percent). Delayed mortality of chinook was also low, less than or equal to I percent for each of the pumps.

Originally written on Phillies Nation | Last updated 3/6/13
Darin Ruf is hitting .130 this spring and seemingly every time he comes to the plate, he faces an 0-2 or 1-2 count. The man we had such high expectations for has fallen out of favor because of his inability to hit through 10 games, but more so because of his poor defense in left field. Ruben Amaro admitted Wednesday that Ruf will need to improve to make the team. I joined Rhea Hughes this morning on CSNPhilly.com's "Lunch Break" to discuss Ruf's diminishing chances of making the team. We also looked at the most optimal Phillies lineups (Chase Utley batting second) and argued that the Phillies shouldn't have let Ryan Howard play in the WBC even if he was selected. Oh, and we delved into the Phillies National Female Co-host Search, as well.

Originally written on MyTeamRivals.com | Last updated 11/10/12
The Ravens return home after a month to take on the Raiders. Last Sunday, the Ravens squeaked out a win over the Browns and the Raiders lost a shootout to the Buccaneers in Oakland. However, during their loss Sunday, the Raiders lost two running backs to ankle injuries. The running backs are star Darren McFadden and Mike Goodson. That stems the running game for Oakland and will help the Ravens. Baltimore is banged up on the front line so the fewer run plays they have to deal with, the better for them. The Ravens have struggled defending the run this season and Haloti Ngata is dealing with a shoulder injury. The Baltimore offense seems to play better at home than they do on the road. I expect the Ravens to run the ball against and Oakland defense that gave up 251 yards and four touchdowns to rookie Doug Martin of Tampa Bay. Ray Rice is a veteran and knows he can run through the Oakland defense. This is also the time of year the Ravens really run the ball with the weather changing. Ba...

Texans DT Brandon Ivory arrested on burglary charge
Ivory and another man were allegedly involved in a home burglary when the two entered the residence by kicking open the back door and then demanding money from the residents. The two stole money and two Ipads from the residence. Ivory and the other suspect were arrested at their apartment shortly after the incident with the stolen money and property.
Bills sign offensive tackle Wayne Hunter
As expected, the
Hunter, 33, last played in the NFL during the 2012 season. He previously played for Bills coach Rex Ryan while both were with the Jets.
Embattled Brandon Spikes pleads guilty to leaving scene of crash
Former Patriots and Bills linebacker
Spikes has lost far more than his license. He has lost his livelihood, having been cut by New England for hitting another car and abandoning his vehicle on the highway. He later told the police that he had hit a deer.
No other teams have been rumored to be targeting Spikes for the coming season.
Terrelle Pryor ready to embrace new role with Browns
Reality has since set in.
Pryor has been cut twice and is now playing on a
"I'm going to give (it) a chance," he told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I just want to play football. I'm a playmaker, and I believe if I can touch the ball, I can go to the house, especially if I have space. This should definitely open up some opportunities."
Pryor has already taken the first step by contacting Steelers receiving stud Antonio Brown and making plans to work out with him and Randy Moss so they can teach him the nuances of the position.
He also figures there's another reason he's ahead of the game.
"The thing that helps me is that I played quarterback, and I know what the quarterback wants," Pryor said.
Lions new DT Haloti Ngata too busy to think about new contract
Defensive tackle
Ngata admitted that he suspected a deal could take place.
"The closer we got to free agency, I thought it could be a possibility," he told Monday Morning Quarterback. "It didn't surprise me ... since we weren't getting closer to any kind of contract stuff, I just figured there were a lot of things that could happen. I definitely started to have a trade in my mind as a possibility."
Ngata added that he's not thinking about a contract extension with Detroit.
"I'm just trying to get to know my teammates, get my playbook down, and my technique and terminology," he said.
Vikings RB Jerick McKinnon claims he'd pick himself in Fantasy
"If ... I could take myself, I would," he told the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Never mind that Adrian Peterson has returned to the backfield. Never mind that Peterson has traditionally not yielded many carries to teammates. In 2012, for instance, he totaled 348 of his team's 401 rushing attempts.
The Vikings, however, are expected to use a more balanced approach in 2015. And McKinnon, who flashed as a starter with Peterson sidelined last season, is feeling dandy after undergoing lower back surgery in December.
"Two hundred percent," he declared in regard to his health. "If there is a 300, I feel 300. It's all good."
McKinnon averaged 4.8 yards per carry a year ago, which buoyed his confidence.
Lions RB Joique Bell predicting at least a 1,200-yard season
Bell has made a rather lofty prediction for 2015, particularly for a guy that has never rushed for more than 860 yards in a season. He claims he will exceed that by plenty.
"I'm going to rush for over 1,200 yards," he told MLive.com. "That's the minimum. If I do less than that, I'll be surprised. I'll be disappointed. Anything more than that, I wouldn't be surprised at all."
Bell averaged a mediocre 3.9 yards per carry in both of the last two years.
Report: LB Kyle Knox gets four-game suspension from NFL
Free agent linebacker
Knox as released by New Orleans in the offseason. Dallas signed him in June and released him three days later.
Knox has played in 16 games for New Orleans and Jacksonville over the last two seasons.
Eagles sign John Moffitt, release Cole Manhart
As expected, the
Moffitt was a third-round draft pick in 2011 and played two years for Seattle. He was traded to Denver and retired early in the 2013 season.
He was arrested in 2014 on assault and drug charges, which were later dropped.
To make room, the Eagles released undrafted rookie free agent
Chiefs' Jeremy Maclin off to best start ever with Alex Smith
Maclin came to Kansas City from Philadelphia in the offseason, and his communication with Smith has been more than either player expected.
"I don't think I've ever been off to a better start with a particular quarterback in my life," Maclin said, per KCChiefs.com.
Offensive coordinator Doug Pederson, like head coach Andy Reid, brought the Philadelphia offense to Kansas City, which has helped Maclin's transition.
"He's only a couple years removed from our system," Pederson said. "We've changed some things since he's been in the offense, but he's such a smart, savvy, veteran guy that he's picked up on what we're doing really fast. He and Alex have sort of developed that continuity right away."

Re: Invade Burma?
For some conservatives, launching a new military invasion has become as predictable an answer to the world's problems as starting a new government program is for liberals. Of course, many of these conservatives cease to recognize something as a government program once there is a military component. When somebody hurts, the 101st Airborne has got to move.

WMG: The Devil's Carnival
Painted Doll is the offspring of the Devil and the White QueenExplains her hands movement and apparent high standing among the Carnies.
The Twin leads Tamara to discover The Scorpion with Painted DollWhen Tamara sees The Scorpion outside the tent, he just happens to be standing in the same spot (and with the same body position) as The Twin was during his "Lashes lashes, we all fall down" line. He doesn't actually speak to her, and upon vanishing into the tent, manages to find a scarf and start making out with Painted Doll in the time it takes Tamara to round a corner and walk a few dozen feet. While the carnies are assigned specific sinners, they certainly seem to "help" where they can (Wick and the Woe Maidens tormenting John, Doll giving him information about his son). It stands to reason that The Twin was luring Tamara into the tent so that she could catch The Scorpion, giving her ample reason NOT to trust him (and thus more effectively damning herself when she ignores the warning signs yet again).
The Ticket Keeper is RazielOut of everyone in Hell, The Ticket Keeper is the only one who seems upset by the situation. He is visibly shaken by the lashing The Tamer gives Merrywood, seems to honestly pity John (going so far as to both give him advice AND wave off The Tamer after John breaks one of the rules), and generally comes across as more of a caring father than supervisor. In some versions of the story, the angel Raziel is cast out of heaven for the sin of giving man knowledge (often knowing in advance that his actions will result in being cast out). As a result, he remains benevolent to humans despite being a fallen angel. The Ticket Keeper is in charge of informing the sinners of the rules (knowledge), appears to hope all of them will see the error of their ways (loves mankind enough to go against God), and seems to be on relatively equal terms with Lucifer (having been either equals or close to it in Heaven).
Tamara was sexually abused by her fatherFor one thing, it fits with her pattern of seeking out destructive relationships, a common thing for victims of rape and sexual abuse to do. Then there's the song "In All My Dreams I Drown." A sad, haunting lullaby with strong themes of powerlessness, (likely non consensual) sex, fear and dependence. In the song, Tamara begs the "captain" (Lucifer) "don't make me go to sleep." He responds with gentle authority ("Hush, now, hush, love / Here's your gown / There's the bed / Lanterns down") very much like a parent enforcing a bedtime. But his paternal tone is mixed with images of him pressing her into the bed in an unmistakably sexual manner. The song's lyrics reinforce the idea of rape, and of Tamara's powerlessness. (The captain howled / Heave-ho, heave-ho / And tied me up with sheets) (Captain, Captain! / I will do your chores / I will warm your cot at night / And mop your cabin floors / Scold me, hold me! / I'll be yours to keep) Tamara's fear of sleep and bedtime exists because that was when her father would sneak into her room to abuse her. The feeling of drowning and being pulled down into hell represents her pain, her loss of control over her own body, and the loss of her innocence. The nautical theme comes from a bedtime story she was often read as a child that her traumatized mind chose to view the rape through, to protect herself from the pain.
Hell works on the karma system of Hinduism and BuddhismJohn is released from Hell because he manages to accept his grief and determine to continue with his search for his son despite his loss of hope. Tamara and Merryweather, on the other hand, end up trapped, not because of any actual sinfulness, but because they're unable or unwilling to learn from their past mistakes. The song "In All My Dreams I Drown" is actually Lucifer trying to help Tamara confront and come to terms with her father's abuse so she can break out of her cycle of abusive relationships and earn redemption.
Lucifer actually looks like a normal human.When we first see him, he's sitting at a makeup table. While it's fairly obvious that the black-and-white KISS makeup is artificial, there's no reason to think the red skin, claws and horns are any more real. After all, the Carnival includes many performers who look just like normal humans but for their makeup.
TDC was written in the Repo! verse, as a satirical anti-Genetic OperaGod explicitly looks like Rotti Largo because of the religious air he's given and evil because he's really more of a mob boss than a savior. Hell is a representation of life on the streets and the carnies are the more dangerous and vindictive outlaws. It ends with the people wanting to rebel against an unfair system led by an uncaring tyrant, the people want a Revolution against something like, oh, I don't know, getting the organs ripped out or being put through hell in other ways. Who wrote it? Graverobber of course! After all, it must be boring being poetic and understanding of absolutely everything just to point out the obvious.
The Magician isn't quite as inept as he seems.Considering how little screentime he got in the first chapter, much of his character is still up to interpretation at this point. Maybe once he finally gets his time in the spotlight, it'll be a Beware the Silly Ones sort of moment?
All the Carnies are the souls of the dead forced to work for Lucifer.It's possible that when the Carnies died, they became slaves to Lucifer and their behaviours and appearances reflect what they did to end up in Hell in the first place, which could also be reflected in their songs and their positions within the Carnival. For example, The Twin could have been a conman who took on several guises and identities to trick his victims. Wick and the Woe-Maidens could have been tricksters in life and one of their greatest tricks was to release bees from the church (Here is the hive/Where are the bees?/Buzzing around/ Where no one sees/Here is the church/Over the steeple/Ready or not/Sting all the people!). The Painted Doll could have been a bitter woman who poisoned her love, hence her 'Cup of her Scorn'.
- Alternative guess on Wick and the Woe-Maidens: They tended to lure people in via their sexual wiles (Don't you wanna/kiss the girls!), quite possibly including members of the clergy. Why bees? Why, it's a Honey Trap.
- Or maybe the Twin literally wore other peoples' faces over his own.
Tamara is stuck in purgatory nowTamara screws up trying to get out Hell due to her flaw (guiliability), but since she wasn't that bad of a person, Satatn gives her a sort of second chance. This is why 'In My Dreams I Drown' takes place during the credits.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
