Geographic Range
Argulus foliaceus is a freshwater fish ectoparasite that has been reported throughout temperate regions of Europe, Central Asia, and North America. It has been well studied in Europe, especially the British Isles, where is has had major impacts on UK sport fisheries through fish stress and mortality. (Harrison, et al., 2006; Oktener, et al., 2007; Pasternak, et al., 2004)
- Biogeographic Regions
- nearctic
- palearctic
Argulus foliaceus is found in warm, eutrophic, still lakes of both fresh and brackish water. Eggs are laid in shady areas, rather than in direct sunlight. Typically considered a shallow water species, this louse is often observed laying eggs within the top 1 m of the water column (although it will lay eggs in deeper water at the end of the reproductive season). Argulus foliaceus is an obligate parasite, requiring host availability. This louse has a low host specificity, so it can infect a variety of fish within its habitat. (Harrison, et al., 2006; Pasternak, et al., 2000; Taylor, et al., 2006)
- Habitat Regions
- temperate
- freshwater
- Aquatic Biomes
- lakes and ponds
- brackish water
Physical Description
On average, Argulus foliaceus measures a total length of 3-7 mm and a width of 2.5-5 mm. Argulid females are generally larger than males, and the growth of the parasite may be influenced by the size of the host. A distinguishing characteristic of A. foliaceus is the urosome, consisting of rounded lobes that are covered marginally with small spines. The posterior incisures of the urosome do not reach to the center. Another characteristic is the anterior portion of the cephalothorax that forms a broad protrusion with shallow grooves. Adults use suction discs for host attachment, whereas larvae utilize larval hooks. (Moller, et al., 2008; Oktener, et al., 2007; Pasternak, et al., 2004)
- Other Physical Features
- ectothermic
- heterothermic
- bilateral symmetry
- Sexual Dimorphism
- female larger
- Range length
- 3 to 7 mm
- 0.12 to 0.28 in
Argulus foliaceus larvae are free-swimming. The length of the larval phase is highly variable, most likely influenced by temperature. In general, larvae are typically first observed in the late spring and morph into adults in the fall. Argulus foliaceus is exceedingly rare in the winter. Larval development is divided into two distinct morphological phases: stage I as a metanauplius and stage two as a juvenile. While morphological adaptations do appear in stage I larvae, there is currently no conclusive evidence that the stage I larvae are either parasitic or pelagic, so they are typically considered "semi-pelagic." (Moller, et al., 2007; Pasternak, et al., 2000)
- Development - Life Cycle
- metamorphosis
Argulus foliaceus usually copulates on the surface of a host fish, but copulation has also been observed on other types of solid surfaces such as leaves and stones. (Pasternak, et al., 2000)
A female A. foliaceus leaves the host fish to lay its eggs, but as an obligate parasite, it must return to a host fish occasionally throughout the process. There is variability in the frequency and length of time that the female leaves and returns to the host. Because females are dependent on the host fish while laying eggs, the individual vulnerability and population density of fish can influence this louse's reproductive success and survivorship. While A. foliaceus is commonly believed to be a shallow water species because it is most often observed to lay eggs in the top 1 m of the water column, some studies have indicated that, if available, they prefer deeper water (8.5 m) at the end of the egg-laying season. The suggestion that they lay eggs in shallow water may be a bias due to study sites. Temperature and dissolved oxygen content may influence egg laying depths, but there is currently no conclusive evidence for these trends. Eggs are laid in strings or clutches that contain an average of 100-150 eggs, but there can be as few as four or as many as 250 eggs. The female lays her eggs in the winter, but there is a wide variability in hatching time, possibly due to fish availability. (Harrison, et al., 2006; Pasternak, et al., 2000)

Argulus foliaceus is rare in the winter and has been described as having a short lifespan. There is no information reported in the literature, however, on the actual length of its lifespan. (Dzika, 2002; Pasternak, et al., 2000)
Argulus foliaceus most commonly attaches to the host on the skin epithelium of the body and fins, but has been observed to also attach to the gills. This louse feeds by piercing the host skin, injecting a toxin, and drawing blood. Infection of A. foliaceus often results in host tissue damage and sometimes mortality. Argulus foliaceus infects irrespective of the health of the host. The length of residence time on the host between attachment to detachment is quite variable. In general, ectoparasites aggregate on the host so that few individuals within the host population are actually infected. The aggregation is likely due to host behavior; when stressed, the host's movement is reduced, allowing more parasites to attach. (Bandilla, et al., 2005; Nolan, et al., 2000; Oktener, et al., 2006; Pasternak, et al., 2004)
- Key Behaviors
- natatorial
- parasite
- motile
Home Range
There is no information on the home range of Argulus foliaceus reported in the literature.
Communication and Perception
Adult argulids can respond to some chemical cues. They have higher sensory abilities, swimming abilities, and metabolism than juveniles, so the adults are less dependent on host attachment, allowing them to leave one host in search for another of higher preference. At the individual level, the searching abilities of Argulus foliaceus are limited, so changes at the population level, such as host preference and aggregation, are necessary to increase reproductive success and survivorship, in light of unpredictable host availability. (Bandilla, et al., 2005; Pasternak, et al., 2000)
- Perception Channels
- chemical
Food Habits
Argulus foliaceus is an obligate bloodsucker, and it cannot survive more than few days without a host. Having little specificity for hosts, it infects a wide range of species. (Pasternak, et al., 2000)
- Primary Diet
- carnivore
- Animal Foods
- amphibians
- fish
Direct predation of free-swimming Argulus foliaceus by trout and some other fish species has been observed. (Taylor, et al., 2006)
- Known Predators
- Trout
Ecosystem Roles
Argulus foliaceus is often noted for its role in ecosystems as an ectoparasite. With a low host specificity, it has been found on almost every type of freshwater fish within its natural habitat, yet some fish are more susceptible than others. Argulus foliaceus has been reported on fish in the families Cyprinidae, Salmonidae, Gobiidae, Gasterosteidae, and Acipenseridae, as well as amphibians, including frogs and toads (Anura). In fish farms of Central Finland, it was found to coexist with Argulus coregoni, a closely related ectoparasite. In addition to its function in ecosystems as a parasite, A. foliaceus can also be a vector for bacteria and flagellates, and it serves as an intermediate host of nematodes in the family Skrjabillanidae. (Oktener, et al., 2006; Pasternak, et al., 2004; Walker, et al., 2007)
- Ecosystem Impact
- parasite
- Skrjabillanidae
Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
There are no known positive effects of Argulus foliaceus on humans.
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
While Argulus foliaceus is frequently found in small numbers with little damage to the hosts, epizootics may occur. When infected by A. foliaceus, host fish display an increase in jumping behavior and a decrease in feeding, followed by secondary bacterial and fungal infections, shoaling behavior, and finally, possible large-scale mortality. Argulus foliaceus infections have been reported to wipe out trout stock populations and cause problems in carp farming. In sport fisheries, a common issue is not mortality but rather reduced catch and lowered aesthetic appeal, resulting in economic losses. (Cross and Stott, 1974; Nolan, et al., 2000; Taylor, et al., 2006)

ASUS-geforce fx 5800 problem :fan slow in 3d mode
hi, I´ve a big problem my asus geforce fx 5800 not running the fan in 3d mode its sooooo quiet.
no difference between 3d or 2d mode.
i have the last official detonator.
whats wrong?????????
thanks a lot
Does it use the FlowFX fan?
I have the Asus 5800 FX and the fan does indeed speed up. However, it is not that noticable unlike the flow fx. My temp seems to stay around 50C when playing games. The fan whirrs real loud then immediately spins down when windows starts to boot. The 5800 fx is a nice card. I'm willing to bet there won't be that much difference between the 5800 fx and the 5900 non-ultra.
the fan only are running at startup the pc?
not running in bench and games?
so curious
The 5800 has a temperature sensor that is used to control the fan speed. When it gets hot, you'll here it start up. Just run 3dmark2003 with 10x repeat on or something to warm it up. At stock speed and a cool case it will hardly ever speed up. At Ultra speeds in certain games or apps it will start fairly quickly.
It looks like the Asus 5800 does NOT have the flowFX cooler- in fact, it looks much like the 5900. That being the case, I'm not sure what the fan strategy is for that particular card. Here is an image- Asus 5800 non-Ultra courtesy of Newegg.com. Is the core actually overheating?
You don't have the ultra/fxflow, you have the 5800 non ultra fan, if your other fans are normal to noisy you might not hear it.
Yo mAn! How are ya? Good to see you man...!
...small world eh, Solofly. At least we can have a thread here that doesn't get terribly hijacked by the 'undesirables'...you know the ones I'm talking about. Good to see you too man...
thats ok.
the fan in the asus 5800 non ultra its ok,
only running in extreme moments.
thanks a lot with yours replies.
Re: ASUS-geforce fx 5800 problem :fan slow in 3d mode
Same here,fan can only be heard if the card is really stressed. Run a demanding game at 8xAA/8xAF and it will eventualy start up due to increased strain.Don't worry,you card works fine.

Re: Hassles with non-free nVidia drivers

Further there's also a opensource nforce network driver called forcedeth which is included with 2.6x kernels so there's not really an issue as both network and 2d can work.
Thanks for the tip about 'forcedeth', I didn't know about that. Sarge's net-installer didn't select it, but now that I know to use it maybe I can do that manually during the install process.
Regarding the non-free issue with Debian: It's still the case that Debian is a popular distro, and that nVidia's licensing program for this software causes a stumbling block that I wouldn't otherwise need to deal with. I'm not trying to be whiny here; rather I'm encouraging for nVidia to be great in this area rather than merely good.
Regarding the 'nv' driver: IIRC, at least with XFree86, there's a different set of XF86Config-4 parameters needed for 'nv' than for 'nvidia'. In my experience I've needed to specify a lot of details about the monitor for the sake of the 'nv' driver, before X will come up. If the 'nvidia' driver had simply been part of Debian from the start, then I could avoid that extra step of getting 'nv' working.
Another issue that I forgot to mention earlier was the fact that every time I install a new kernel, I have to reinstall the nVidia driver, and X won't work until I do. If 'nvidia' source code were simply included in the kernel source trees, I don't believe I'd have this problem.
Finally, we'd avoid having messes like we had some months ago, where there was a big delay between the availability of a new kernel version, and the availability of an nVidia driver that worked with it. IIRC, the issue was waiting for an nvidia driver that worked with the 2.6 line of kernels.
Anyway, thanks for the hint on 'forcedeth' - I didn't know about that.
Best regards,

text: right to work Stateside: Police and fire unaffected by right-to-work in Michigan By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Dec 19, 2012 jalopnik.com Listen Listening... / 7:51 Two groups, police officers and firefighters, were exempt from the right-to-work legislation. Rick Haglund of Bridge Magazine said the exemption dates back to the late 1960's. "Police and firefighters have a special recognition under state law called Public Act 312, which prevents firefighters and police officers from striking. It goes back to 1969, and the person who introduced the legislation was Coleman Young, who at that time was a State Senator," he said. This act prevented them from striking but gave them binding arbitration. However, those opposed to right-to-work are still wondering why these groups were exempt. According to Haglund, they have reason to be curious. "It turns out that Michigan is the only state that does this. There are no other right-to-work states that do a carve out for police and fire," said Haglund. For more of Haglund's interview, listen to our above podcast. There are two ways you can podcast "Stateside with Cynthia Canty" Podcast of the entire show Podcast of each segment The week in Michigan politics By Jack Lessenberry, Christina Shockley & Emily Fox • Dec 19, 2012 cncphotos / flickr This Week in Michigan Politics, Morning Edition host Christina Shockley and Michigan Radio's political analyst Jack Lessenberry talk about the end of the lame duck session. Lessenberry says "this probably has been the most productive and momentous and game changing lame duck session doing back to the 1960s." Lessenberry says making Michigan a right to work state was probably the biggest moment in Michigan politics this year. Poll: Gov. Snyder's approval rating plummets 28 pts in one month By Mark Brush • Dec 18, 2012 screenshot / LiveStream The polling firm Public Policy Polling found Gov. Snyder's positive poll numbers dropping precipitously. PPP is described as a "Democratic-leaning" survey firm, so it's no surprise they wanted to see how Gov. Snyder is faring after passing the controversial 'right-to-work' legislation in the state. The firm is comparing their results from data gathered on Gov. Snyder prior to the hullabaloo around the legislature's prolific lame-duck session. List of major lame-duck legislation By Mark Brush • Dec 17, 2012 user ShellyS / Flickr Don't go calling the Republican-controlled state Legislature a lame-duck. They were anything but, passing major legislation in the final days between the election and the end of the year. We posted on the major legislation passed on the epic evenings of Thursday, December 6, and Tuesday December 11, but not on the entire lame duck. Turns out, the Detroit News has that list. Here's their wrap up of the major legislation that passed during the lame duck session. And if you're unhappy with what they did, and are thinking of participating in a recall campaign or two, they've got that covered as well. In their It's Just Politics segment, Michigan Radio's Zoe Clark and MPRN's Rick Pluta point out: One of the final actions of the Republican-controlled Legislature was to make it much harder to recall elected officials. Recalls are among the retributions being plotted by labor in the face of right-to-work. This could be a bit of a game changer before that's even started. That should have state Senator Partrick Colbeck, a Republican from a swing district in western Wayne County, breathing a little easier. Colbeck was a big backer of right-to-work and is now considered a top recall target by Democrats. With lame duck over, (political) eyes turn to 2014 By Zoe Clark & Rick Pluta • Dec 15, 2012 Matthileo / Flickr Listen Listening... / 5:30 It's Just Politics with Zoe Clark and Rick Pluta This week we saw the wrap-up of the Legislature's lame duck session. It was big and messy and there's still a lot to sort out. But clearly the biggest news, history-making, really, was that Michigan will become the nation's 24th right-to-work state. Right-to-work is a loaded issue with passionate supporters andopponents. Thousands and thousands of protesters turned out to try and make their voices heard. This will be an issue that resonates for a long time. It has huge cultural consequences. But, as always, on It's Just Politics, we want to focus on the inside mechanics, the down-and-dirty politics. And, some of the politics during lame-duck sure was down and dirty. One of the final actions of the Republican-controlled Legislature was to make it much harder to recall elected officials. Recalls are among the retributions being plotted by labor in the face of right-to-work. This could be a bit of a game changer before that's even started. That should have state Senator Partrick Colbeck, a Republican from a swing district in western Wayne County, breathing a little easier. Colbeck was a big backer of right-to-work and is now considering a top recall target by Democrats. Republicans also made sure their work won't be the target of a referendum campaign by putting an expenditure in it. GOP lawmakers also did this when they passed a new emergency manager law this week. We've talked about this before on It's Just Politics: how Republicans in this session have used this provision in the Michigan Constitution that's meant to protect the state's ability to pay its bills. But, it's being used, time and again, to shield laws from the threat of voter-reversal through a referendum. This week, after months – years, really – of saying right-to-work wasn't something he wanted, that it was too divisive of an issue, Governor Snyder signed the legislation into law. To many, it seemed almost like it was forced on him. Particularly after One Tough Nerd had been a Hamlet on the question, "to be right-to-work or not to be right-to-work…?" This has many political observers wondering: was this just a Kabuki dance all along? Was there always a plan to "do" right-to-work? Meanwhile, compare the Governor's apprehension with Republican Speaker of the House Jase Bolger. Bolger, who just might be Lansing's most-powerful politician right now, was *never* coy about the issue. No doubt about it: he wanted, pushed for, worked for right-to-work. And, how interesting it is that it was just a little over a month ago that Bolger was teetering on the edge of humiliation. House Republicans had mismanaged a couple of controversies (think the Roy Schmidt party-changing episode and "Vagina-gate") and Bolger came close to becoming the first House Speaker in 20 years to lose his seat. But, he came back to Lansing after the election, seemingly unharmed, and waged the battle over right-to-work. Michigan Governor Snyder greeted with boos and applause at MSU commencement By Steve Carmody • Dec 15, 2012 Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio Michigan State University graduates had to pass thru a line of anti-Right to Work picketers to attend today's commencement ceremony. The focus of the protest was the commencement speaker. Governor Snyder was greeted with a mixture of boos and applause, as MSU officials draped the symbol of his honorary degree on his shoulders. Snyder briefly acknowledged the Right to Work controversy that has dominated the news from the state capitol this week. The week in review By Rina Miller & Jack Lessenberry • Dec 15, 2012 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 2:31 Week in review interview for 12/15/12 This week Weekend Edition host Rina Miller and Michigan Radio's political analyst Jack Lessenberry discuss the lame duck session in Lansing. While right to work was passed despite massive protests, Lessenberry says there is only one way it can be repealed. "People could petition with the legislature to repeal the law and if they don't then it goes on the ballot," he says. The question is, is if anyone will actually do it. And a package of abortion bills were sent to Governor Snyder's desk. "The package passed is mainly regulating abortion clinics, putting them under more scrutiny, making sure that people coming in for a procedure weren't coerced," Lessenberry says. And finally, a new emergency manager law also moved forward. "This gives emergency managers more power than the old emergency financial managers have. But it also sort of gives cities a choice--whether they want an emergency manger, whether they want to move to bankruptcy or have a consent agreement," Lessenberry says. Gov. Snyder to deliver Michigan State University commencement speech By Steve Carmody • Dec 15, 2012 Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio Governor Rick Snyder will deliver the commencement address at Michigan State University's December graduation this morning. Some 23 hundred undergraduates and graduate students will receive their degrees during the mid-morning ceremony at the Breslin Center. Thousands of family members and friends are expected to attend. And maybe a few protesters as well. Several groups unhappy with Governor Snyder's quick signing this week of Right to Work legislation have talked about showing up at the M-S-U commencement which is open to the public. Donations pour into Lansing's 'Hot Dog Man' after Right to Work melee destroys his cart By Steve Carmody • Dec 14, 2012 Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio An online fundraising campaign has collected thousands of dollars to help a Lansing man whose hot dog cart was destroyed during Tuesday's anti-Right to Work rally at the state capitol. Clinton Tarver's hot dog cart has long been a fixture in Lansing, usually set up across the street from the state capitol. But on Tuesday he was set up inside a tent on the capitol grounds. Union members tore down the tent, which housed right to work supporters. Commentary: Putting right to work on the ballot By Jack Lessenberry • Dec 14, 2012 Listen Listening... / 2:50 Lessenberry commentary for 12/14/12 The lawmakers who passed legislation this week making Michigan a right to work state wanted to make sure the voters couldn't try to repeal it by collecting signatures and putting another referendum on the ballot. That's how unhappy citizens got rid of the governor's first emergency manager law last month. So the legislature included some money in the bill. Under Michigan's constitution, appropriations bills are immune from the referendum process. The idea was to make sure right to work could never be repealed unless by a vote of the legislature. And since Democrats winning control of the State Senate any time in the next decade is seen as virtually impossible, those who want right to work figure they have made sure it is here to stay. Yet believe it or not, there is a way those opposing right to work could collect signatures and get something on the ballot to repeal this. It won't be easy, and it would take at least two years. Schuette says right-to-work will survive court challenge By Rick Pluta • Dec 13, 2012 Michigan Municipal League / flickr State Attorney General Bill Schuette says he expects Michigan's new right-to-work law will be challenged in court, and he expects it will survive those lawsuits. One possible challenge would focus on different treatment for different types of unions. The law will allow workers for unionized employers to opt out of paying dues or fees. But the law won't apply to police and firefighter unions. Schuette said that could create too much disharmony in public safety units that require order and discipline. "Firefighters, first-responders, law enforcement – they're on the front lines of public safety. They have a very important, unique responsibility, making sure our streets and our neighborhoods are safe and secure, so this is a very appropriate carve-out. It was a correct carve-out," he said. Schuette said the law does apply to the state's 35,000 civil service employees. Some interpretations of the state constitution say the law can't touch civil service workers. That's because they are governed by the Michigan Civil Service Commission. The politics of lame duck By Jennifer White & Mercedes Mejia • Dec 13, 2012 user cedarbenddrive / Flickr Listen Listening... / 5:15 This lame duck session of the Michigan legislature has been moving at very face pace. In addition to the passage and signing of so-called right-to work legislation, the Republican majorities in the state House and Senate have a number of other bills on the agenda. They include a package of abortion related bills, a bill that would give health care providers the right to deny service due to religious or ethical objections, and a new emergency manager bill that would replace the one overturned by Michigan voters last month. Michigan Radio's Jennifer White talks politics with Susan Demas, political analyst for Michigan Information and Research Service, and Ken Sikkema, former Senate Majority Leader and Senior Policy Fellow at Public Sector Consultants. Right-to-work supporters say their 1st Amendment rights were violated By Steve Carmody • Dec 13, 2012 Steve Carmody/Michigan Radio Supporters of Michigan's new Right-to-Work law say they were attacked on the Capitol grounds Tuesday by union members. Now they want a formal investigation. During Tuesday's anti-Right to Work demonstration on the state capitol grounds, union members tore down a tent set up by the legislation's supporters. About a dozen members of Americans for Prosperity were caught in the tent as it collapsed. They claim they were punched and kicked and had property stolen and destroyed. Stateside: An unusually active lame duck session By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Dec 13, 2012 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 10:36 There is an abundance of political action in this year's lame duck session. Bill Ballenger of "Inside Michigan Politics" and Michigan Radio's Jack Lessenberry spoke with Cyndy about the recent legislature coming out of the Capitol. According to Lessenberry there were several reasons for right-to-work being passed. "The legislature will be marginally more Democratic next time. Some of the people who were voting are people who aren't coming back. It was a campaign year and some of the stuff that might have gotten done earlier didn't get done," said Lessenberry. "Legislators have been working on a lot of these bills for a year and a half," said Ballenger. Ballenger noted the role of partisan politics in the lame duck session. The so-called names of so-called legislation By Vincent Duffy • Dec 13, 2012 Rick Pluta / Michigan Public Radio It's been quite a week in Michigan. Maybe you heard about it? Our legislature introduced and passed so called "right to work" legislation in two days and Republican Governor Rick Snyder signed it within hours, dealing a harsh blow to the more than 12,000 union supporting protestors surrounding the building. But – did you see what I did there? Did my bias jump off the page at you? 'More and better jobs in Michigan': Gov. Snyder on Marketplace By Mark Brush • Dec 13, 2012 screenshot / LiveStream Michigan Gov. Snyder has made himself available to the media before, during, and after the 'right-to-work' drama in the state. He's getting his message out that he believes "more and better jobs" will come to Michigan as a result. Marketplace's Jeremy Hobson spoke with Gov. Snyder this morning about why right-to-work suddenly popped up on his agenda. He told the public it wasn't on his agenda for more than a year. And then last Thursday happened. Here's the edited 3-and-a-half minute interview: Hobson pressed Snyder on his argument that "thousands of jobs" have come to Indiana. Stateside: Michigan Radio staff chime in on RTW drama By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Dec 13, 2012 Michigan Radio Lansing Bureau Chief Rick Pluta inside the Capitol Reuters: RTW planned for 2 years; not last-minute push By Tracy Samilton • Dec 13, 2012 Reuters' Rick Carey and Bernie Woodall dug into the process by which right to work legislation was passed in the union stronghold of Michigan, and found that it was the result of dogged, behind-the-scenes work by some of Michigan's newest legislators. That runs contrary to the idea in many published reports that the legislation took on a sudden life of its own, a kind of "seize the day" mentality, after the defeat of Proposal 2 in November. From the story: Commentary: Orgy of lawmaking By Jack Lessenberry • Dec 13, 2012 Listen Listening... / 2:57 Lessenberry essay for 12/13/12 Don't know about you, but it seems to me that the current lame duck session of the legislature is trying to do about as much as lawmakers normally do in about ten years. Now I am sure that's an exaggeration, but it doesn't feel like one. Consider this. In a single day, the governor and the Republican majority pushed through the most momentous labor legislation in years, taking the once inconceivable step of outlawing the union shop and making Michigan a so-called right to work state. They aren't stopping there, however: The governor is going to have to make a decision on four bills, or parts of bills aimed at making it harder for women to get abortions in Michigan. For the last two years, lots of people have believed that Rick Snyder may be a pro-business fiscal conservative, but that he was really a moderate on social issues. Well, now we are about to find out. Stateside: Tim Bos sees benefits in right-to-work legislation By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Dec 12, 2012 Matthileo / Flickr Listen Listening... / 8:23 Right to work supporter and union member Tim Bos. Tim Bos- a union member for 17 years- is now a vocal proponent of right-to-work. Bos spoke with Cyndy about what he feels are the positive impacts the legislation will have on Michigan. "I was very pleased to see what happened. When I got involved in this...this was just a dream," said Bos. "We didn't know if we would ever see it happen, but it was something we felt very strongly about. It didn't have anything to do with being against unions, we love unions." Bos described why he felt unions have an important role in protecting workers from bad-acting companies. "We cherish that. We want to make sure that always stays healthy and available. On the other hand, we think that it has been very detrimental to the union cause and to workers in general by being forced to financially support... a third party that is allowed to siphon off part of your earnings just in order for you to have the ability to continue working," said Bos. Canty pointed out that workers can vote to decertify the union if they don't like. Bos agreed, but said workers feel immense pressure not to do so. "This whole thing is about power and money," said Bos. More protests after Mich. right-to-work action By The Associated Press • Dec 12, 2012 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Protests are taking place a day after Republicans converted Michigan from a seemingly impregnable fortress of organized labor into a right-to-work state. Protesters covered their mouths with tape Wednesday in Lansing with the words "$1,500 less" written on it in reference to wage cuts they expect. Silent protests also took place in Saginaw and were planned elsewhere. In Detroit, dozens of noisy protesters entered a state of Michigan office building to voice their opposition to right-to-work. The state House swiftly approved two bills reducing unions' strength Tuesday, one dealing with private-sector workers and the other with public employees, as thousands of furious protesters at the state Capitol roared in vain. Republican Gov. Rick Snyder signed the measures into law within hours, calling them "pro-worker and pro-Michigan." Daily Show lampoons Michigan's 'right-to-work' drama By Mark Brush • Dec 12, 2012 screen grab / Daily Show Comedian Jon Stewart on Comedy Central's Daily Show led his show with the 'right-to-work' drama that unfolded yesterday. He took aim at Gov. Rick Snyder who reversed his stance that 'right-to-work' legislation was too divisive an issue to take on. STEWART: "Maybe it won't be so bad? I mean the phrase 'right-to-work' is such a positive and uplifting message. What could it possibly to do to organizations like unions that also support workers rights? I mean, the law probably strengthens unions." NEWS CLIP: Commentary: Will Snyder get a second term? By Jack Lessenberry • Dec 12, 2012 Listen Listening... / 3:00 Lessenberry commentary for 12/12/12 Last night, after the demonstrations and protests, and after the right to work bills had been signed into law by Governor Snyder, I got a series of phone calls from prominent Democrats. Geoffrey Fieger was one of those. The famously flamboyant lawyer was, we sometimes forget, the Democratic nominee for governor in 1998. "What are they thinking!" he yelled over the phone. "This is the end of Snyder. Snyder is going down. All the Democrats have to do is find a candidate. Trust me. He or she will have all the money they need. We have got to defeat him. He is a bad man. An evil man, and a puppet. People know that now." Well, you can't say that there is any doubt about how Geoffrey Fieger feels. And whatever your politics, there is certainly no doubt that Rick Snyder is less popular than he was a month ago. Indeed, there is a big sense of betrayal on the part of people who had convinced themselves that Snyder was a moderate much like former Governor William Milliken. The Detroit Free Press's editorial page's reaction sounded more like that of a jilted lover than of a newspaper disappointed in a politician. They wrote, "We believed him. For two years we supported Snyder. We indulged many compromises Snyder maintained were necessary to advance his pro-growth agenda. We trusted Snyder's judgment. That trust has now been betrayed for us." There were a lot of people outside Michigan's capitol yesterday who believe Snyder is going down, that he will either be defeated two years from now or even recalled before that. But I am not so sure. The week in Michigan politics By Jack Lessenberry, Christina Shockley & Emily Fox • Dec 12, 2012 cncphotos / flickr Listen Listening... / 3:28 The week in Michigan politics interview for 12/12/12 It has been quite a week in Michigan politics. Morning Edition host Christina Shockley and Michigan Radio's political analyst Jack Lessenberry discuss what happens now that right to work bills have been signed into law and what other controversial bills are being looked at in the remainder of the lame duck session. In this morning's Michigan news headlines. . . By Emily Fox • Dec 12, 2012 User: Brother O'Mara / flickr Right to work bills signed "Michigan has officially joined 23 other so-called "right-to-work" states. Governor Rick Snyder signed the bills in the last half-hour. The legislation will end the practice of requiring workers to pay union dues as a condition of employment. It's an extremely divisive idea in Michigan - which has long been a union stronghold. Critics call it 'right to work for less.' But the governor says he disagrees. The bill is expected to take effect in March. But opponents say legal action to pre-empt the law is likely," Sarah Hulett reports. Other controversial bills are being looked at in Lansing "The right to work legislation is getting all the attention right now. But with time still left in the lame duck session, Michiganders could wind up with a whole slew of controversial new laws next year. But here's what else is going on: there's the overhaul of Blue Cross Blue Shield, Michigan's largest insurer. Then there's a package of abortion bills that would make it dramatically tougher for a woman to get and pay for an abortion. And there's a bill that lets doctors and employers opt out of providing any medical care that doesn't fit with their moral or religious beliefs, like birth control or abortions. Plus, there's a bill pending that would let people buy handguns without needing a state-issued license," Kate Wells reports. Detroit City council approves measures to help the city's finances The Detroit City Council has narrowly approved a series of measures that should stave off an immediate cash crisis. As the Detroit News reports, Council members approved five of six items requested by the Bing administration to accommodate the city's financial restructuring, including a controversial contract with the Miller Canfield law firm. The council sent one item, a proposed pay cut for nonunion employees, to a committee for further study. State officials said Tuesday they are prepared to release $10 million in bond money pending a formal request from Mayor Dave Bing. Another $20 million likely will be released later this month, they said. Michigan Gov. Snyder signs right-to-work into law By Mark Brush • Dec 11, 2012 screen shot / LiveStream It's a historic day for a state that's the birthplace of the labor movement. Gov. Rick Snyder said he signed the 'right-to-work' bills that landed on his desk this evening into law. Public and private-sector workers will no longer be compelled to pay union dues or fees if they choose not to. "Right-to-work" laws are also known as "anti-dues" laws. The laws are often confused with outlawing mandatory union membership. Under federal law, mandatory union membership is already outlawed. People can work in a "union shop," but not be a union member. However, they are often required to support the union financially. The unions say these payments are necessary because their collective bargaining agreements benefit all workers. Michigan law will outlaw the practice of mandatory financial support of unions in "union shops." The law will go into effect 90 from the end of this legislative session, which puts it into early spring. It won't affect current union contracts that call for mandatory fees from members or non-members. Many contracts for auto workers, for example, won't expire until the fall of 2015. Lansing UPDATES: 'Right-to-work' protestors back at Capitol By Mark Brush • Dec 11, 2012 Steve Carmody / Michigan Radio We're updating this post on the 'right-to-work' legislation moving through the Michigan Legislature. 'Right-to-work' laws, also known as 'anti-dues' laws, outlaw union contracts that stipulate that all workers must financially support the union in some way. It's often confused with outlawing mandatory union membership. Under federal law, mandatory union membership is already outlawed. People can work in a 'union shop,' but not be a union member. Stateside: A shift in public opinion of right-to-work By Michigan Radio Newsroom • Dec 11, 2012 Rick Pluta/MPRN Listen Listening... / 4:47 As right-to-work gains momentum, supporters of the legislation claim Michigan's public opinion is in favor of the bill. EPIC-MRA has tracked the public's opinion of right-to-work since June 2007. During that time there was indeed 62% majority opinion in favor of the bill. But Bernie Porn of EPIC-MRA recently found that the opinion is drastically different than that of 2007. Michigan Nurses Association against 'right-to-work' By Jennifer White & Mercedes Mejia & mercedes • Dec 11, 2012 NBCnews.com / MNA Facebook page Listen Listening... / 4:35 With Michigan poised to become the country's 24th so-called "right-to-work" state, thousands of protestors have flooded the State Capital today to demonstrate against the legislation. Michigan Radio's Jennifer White talks with Katie Oppenheim, a registered nurse, and president of the University of Michigan Nurses Union. Oppenheim is also affiliated with the Michigan Nurses Association. Right-to-work bills headed to Gov. Snyder's desk By Jake Neher • Dec 11, 2012 Jake Neher / MPRN Governor Rick Snyder will have the final say as to whether Michigan will become a so-called "right-to-work" state. The state House approved legislation Tuesday that would end the practice of requiring workers to pay union dues as a condition of employment. Representative Tim Greimel is the new leader of the state House Democrats. He said the fight over "right-to-work" is not over. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 next › last »

"I tried them for the first time for Easter. They went over very well and were easy to make. I used 1 can pie filling mixed with frozen cherries picked last year to make up the difference for second can. No extra sugar was needed and turned out great. I did add 1/2 tsp. baking powder to dough. Will be making again!"

I'm an easy going, go with the flow type of gal. I am also very driven and active, both in my professional and personal life. I believe your experiences shape your thoughts. I love to travel, try new restaurants, live music and sporting events, yoga, cycling, reading, and anything and everything beachy. However, I am not opposed to a fun ski trip :) My favorite color is purple. I don't know how to use chop sticks all that well. I can't sing. I used to be able to whistle. I'm a lefty. I'm a goofball but have a very calm demeanor. My glass is full. I can find the good in just about anyone. I laugh. A lot. I can be a bit sarcastic but its all in good fun. I enjoy random and spontaneity. I am blessed to have an incredible family and group of friends. My father is a first generation American and I have learned a tremendous amount about life, happiness and success from him. I choose to surround myself with those who inspire, encourage, and teach me to be a better person. I am a firm believer of the saying, "you are the company you keep". I love to volunteer my time and money to charities and have been doing so since I was young. My ideal date would be open-minded, cultured, well traveled (or at least wants to travel), and doesn't take himself too seriously. If he can make me laugh, he has my attention. He should be career driven but wants to have a family and actually be home to make memories. He knows how to turn work "off" and have some fun! Humor is a biggie and being a true gentlemen is even bigger. Now, lets have some fun!
Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Cycling, Other types of exercise, Tennis / Racquet sports, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga

I love to travel, the beach, yoga, cycling, photography, a good glass of wine, trying new restaurants, live music, sporting events, random outings, the outdoors, hammocks, and holding hands.
a typical weekend consists of anything outdoors, cycling, Lake Eola, farmers market, poolside, paddle boarding, going to the beach. However, I do enjoy relaxing days/nights in (movies, reading, couch time).
I love reading a variety of subjects and some of my favorites are Outliers, Eat, Pray, Love, Think and Grow Rich, The Art of Racing in the Rain, Yoga Cures... oh and 50 Shades :)

Learn how immunizing a critical portion of a community protects most members of the community.
A team of researchers at Hong Kong University conducted an evolutionary analysis on the currently circulating 2009 novel H1N1 influenza virus to determine its origins and early developments. Led by Gavin Smith, M.D., and supported by the NIAID Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance (CEIRS), researchers found that the virus was derived from several viruses circulating in swine, and that the initial transmission to humans occurred several months before recognition of the outbreak.
A phylogenetic estimate of the gaps in genetic surveillance suggested a long period of unsampled ancestry before the outbreak, implying that the reassortment of swine lineages may have occurred years before the disease emerged in humans. These findings highlight the need for systematic surveillance of influenza in swine, and provide evidence that the mixing of new genetic elements in swine can result in the emergence of viruses with pandemic potential in humans.
GJ Smith et al. Origins and evolutionary genomics of the 2009 swine-origin H1N1 influenza A epidemic. Nature. 459(7250):1122-5 DOI: 10.1038/nature08182 (2009).

The hall is alive with the Sound of Music
Posted: May 25, 2014|
BRIERLEY HILL Civic Hall will be turned into an Alpine village for five nights in early June, when Quarry Bank Musical Theatre Society stage Rogers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music.
The famous story of the Von Trapp family of singers, whose stern, widowed father eventually has his heart melted by his children's governess, has long been a favourite on film, and now the Quarry Bank group are ready to recreate it on a Black Country stage.
A large cast of singing performers is headed by Richard Cope as Captain Von Trapp, and Alex Detheridge as Maria. There will be two sets of Von Trapp children, performing on alternate nights.
The production will take place from June 3 to June 7, with performances beginning at 7.15pm. except for the Saturday 7 matinee at 2.15pm.
Ticket are priced £10 and £11, with concessions for under 16s. Family discounts are available.
For more details or to buy tickets, call 07913 884208 or visit the website: www.qbmts.org.uk.

Just a brief pair of threads this week. First is a look at what is happening with mobile device encryption as consumer electronics companies deal with data privacy in the post-Snowden era. There is also the predictable backlash from law enforcement organizations, and perhaps I just telegraphed how I feel on the matter. The second thread looks at how Getty Images is trying to get into distributing its content for free to get it in front of eyeballs that will end up paying for some of it.
Category Archives: Thursday Threads
Thursday Threads: Patron Privacy on Library Sites, Communicating with Developers, Kuali Continued
In the DLTJ Thursday Threads this week: an analysis of how external services included on library web pages can impact patron privacy, pointers to a series of helpful posts from OCLC on communication between software users and software developers, and lastly an update on the continuing discussion of the Kuali Foundation Board's announcement forming a commercial entity.
Before we get started on this week's threads, I want to point out a free online symposium that LYRASIS is performing next week on sustainable cultural heritage open source software. Details are on the FOSS4Lib site, you can register on the LYRASIS events site, and then join the open discussion on the discuss.foss4lib.org site before, during and after the symposium.
Thursday Threads: Sakai Reverberations, Ada Initiative Fundraising, Cost of Bandwidth
Welcome to the latest edition of Thursday Threads. This week's post has a continuation of the commentary about the Kuali Board's decisions from last month. Next, news of a fundraising campaign by the Ada Initiative in support of women in technology fields. Lastly, an article that looks at the relative bulk bandwidth costs around the world.
Thursday Threads: History of the Future, Kuali change-of-focus, 2018 Mindset List
This weeks threads are a mixture of the future, the present and the past. Starting things off is A History of the Future in 100 Objects, a revealing look at what technology and society has in store for us. Parts of this resource are available freely on the website with the rest available as a $5 e-book. Next, in the present, is the decision by the Kuali Foundation to shift to a for-profit model and what it means for open source in the academic domain. And finally, a look at the past with the mindset list for the class of 2018 from Beloit College.
Thursday Threads: Twitter Timeline Changes, Report on Future Library Technology, USB Security
Two weeks in a row! This week's DLTJ Thursday Threads looks at how Twitter changed its timeline functionality to include things that it thinks you'll find interesting. Next, for the academic libraries in the audience, is a report from the New Media Consortium on trends and technologies that will libraries will likely encounter in the next five years. Lastly, news about research into how USB devices can spread malware in ways we can't detect.
Thursday Threads: Payment Card Security, Crap Detection, VoIP in your Hand
Welcome to the revival of DLTJ Thursday Threads. With the summer over and the feeling of renewal towards this blog and its topics, I'm happy to be back sharing tidbits of technology that I hope you will find interesting. Today's set of threads covers the gnarly security issues behind the bright-and-shiny chip-on-payment card systems being rolled out by banks and retailers in the U.S., a list of resources for checking things that you read about online, and a heads-up on changes to how your phone will work in the near future.
Thursday Threads: Password Managers, DRM coming to the Browser, Personal Data Brokers
It is a security/privacy edition of DLTJ Thursday Threads this week. First a link to a 3-page PDF that talks about the use of password managers to keep all of your internet passwords unique and strong. Next a story about how the W3C standards body is looking at standardizing digital rights management for browser content. And finally, a story about a site that one personal data broker put up that gives you a glimpse of what they know about you.
Thursday Threads: Windows XP end-of-life, Maturing open source models, Trashcans that track you
Three groups of stories in this long-in-coming DLTJ Thursday Threads. First, we look at the pent-up risks of running Windows XP systems given that support for that operating system is scheduled to end in April 2014. Second, a pair of articles that look at the ups and downs of open source software governance as it relates to the Apache Foundation. And lastly, look out for that garbage can — it may be watching your every move.
Thursday Threads: Developer Genders, Facebook Release Engineering, Alcohol Among Technologists
You'll get the sense that this week's Thursday Threads is stacked towards cultural awareness. First is the view of a developer of the female gender in a room of peers at a meeting of the Digital Public Library of America. The second thread is a pointer to a story about Facebook's software release process, and it leads into a story about the role of alcohol in technology conferences and reflections from the library technology community.
Thursday Threads: Open Source Advocates Twitch at Blackboard's Strategy and Effect of Copyright/DRM on Access
Thursday Threads has been a back-burner activity for quite a while now. Blame it on too many interesting things happening at home and at work (to say nothing of the early arrival of spring weather). This week will be only a slight exception with just two threads of mention rather than the typical three or four. First is the announcement by Blackboard that it is starting up an open source support division and acquiring/hiring some of the bigger names in that sector. Second is a reflection on two independent stories about the effect of copyright uncertainty and digital rights management on book materials.

An Unsound Unfunded MandateThursday, February 5, 2015
If we can believe the lore, there once was a time when one could stand atop Holcombe Hill and see Long Island Sound. These days woodlands block the view, and there are only the seagulls in grocery store parking lots to remind us that we live in a coastal state. And that may be part of the problem, according state environmental officials. When Long Island Sound is out of sight, it is also out of mind in a state bent on robust economic development.

A Shift In Newtown's BureaucracyThursday, August 21, 2014
There is a strip of open space that runs from the south to the north and east, skirting behind the ball fields at Reed Intermediate School, along Old Farm Road by open fields toward the point near Commerce Road where the Pootatuck River joins Deep Brook. Conservation Commission Chair Ann Astarita told The Bee last week that she is particularly concerned about this tract, known as the Deep Brook Open Space. It is supposed to protect Deep Brook, one of just nine Class I trout streams in the state.

UH freshman Jackson will have double responsibilities
By Joseph Duarte | August 12, 2013 | Updated: August 12, 2013 11:16pm
Freshman Chauntez Jackson will receive playing time on offense and defense. (Photo courtesy of University of Houston)
True freshman Chauntez Jackson will play both ways for Houston this season, head coach Tony Levine said Monday.
Jackson began camp at tight end and will add defensive end to his duties. In his first action Monday, Jackson had two sacks during team drills.
"He is one of the most athletic young men in our program," Levine said.
Jackson, who is 6-4 and 254 pounds, was originally committed to Tennessee before signing with UH. He was rated as the No. 37 defensive end by Scout.com out of Inglewood (Calif.) High School.
The Cougars plan to implement the tight end in their offense this season, but not enough to prevent Jackson from seeing action at defensive end.
"It's pretty common knowledge we're not going to put a tight end in the game 65 snaps every week so this is a way to get him on the field more," Levine said.

Read up on Dodge Viper reviews from the past few years at Autobytel.com There are 2 types of Dodge Viper reviews for you to study. The first type of Dodge Viper review is the one produced by a professional automotive journalist. And there are multiple professional reviews from a couple of different contributors in the Autobytel database. Another type of car review comes from the car owner themselves. There is a place for current and past owners to leave their thoughts and feedback on a specific vehicle. There is a place for general comments on the auto and a place to rate the automobile on a scale of 1-5. Reading up on these types of Dodge Viper reviews will no doubt provide some great feedback.
Being able to read a Dodge Viper review is very useful. But there is so much more wonderful data at the Autobytel website. You may wonder: how can I view this data? Or what if you are unsure as to which vehicle you should purchase? The fastest way to get to the reviews webpage is by clicking the car reviews button from anywhere on the website. You can sort through the vehicles in a few different ways. One way is by vehicle model type. That is, choose an SUV or sports car for example. Or pick the name of the car company. You may have a few automobiles in mind. There is plenty of information to help you narrow down the list. At the model level of a specific vehicle, there will be a few different areas of research you can choose. One of these areas is the reviews section.
In addition to all the wonderful Dodge Viper reviews there are some more great features. Be sure to recognize the value of a vehicle such as the Invoice price and MSRP. The MSRP price is what you can expect the car to be sold for at dealerships. The invoice price is the amount in which the dealer acquired the vehicle for. This information is unique to the Autobytel website and you will not find this data in a regular Dodge Viper review. With the price quotes you will receive in the future, you will be able to indentify which vehicle represents the best value. Find massive amounts of knowledge on practically every vehicle on sale in the U.S. Discover facts regarding: horsepower, mileage, and weight. Take a look at what comes stock on the vehicle and what you can add on. Besides a Dodge Viper review; there is so much more at the Autobytel website.
A Dodge Viper review should have a handful of automobile pictures. Autobytel also houses a nice selection of other images of the vehicle. After you are finished with the Dodge Viper reviews, go ahead and ask for a vehicle price quite. Requesting a quote is pretty straightforward and not difficult. Pinpoint the vehicle by selecting the year, manufacturer, and model. Next add some personal info so that you can be contacted. You will soon receive a handful of car quotes from dealers in your area. Feel free to come back and read Dodge Viper reviews anytime day or night.

Dance like you're alone in your room!
Been working for the last several years on a film/game project and haven't had much time to get out and meet people. My situation is much more stable now, but I am still looking at several years of hard work ahead. So ... you could call me passionate, along with sensitive, silly, empathetic, loud, deep, a big kid, and a little obsessive; I also hear "you think too much!" a lot, and they are probably right... I have always wanted to expand my knowledge and understanding of this great and wonderful mess we call reality and share it with others ... somewhere in that journey i became a storyteller, which is i suppose the best way to wrap me all up in a word. I have no real preconceptions, I'm just looking for a great connection ; somebody sweet to laugh and have a fun with. Someone who I can share adventures with, all the good stuff :)
