Captain Favorite's Fishing Forum: July 21, 2014
Your One-Stop Spot for Fishing in Manatee County
Tim Graham, from Nokomis, FL, caught and released this bluefish on a CAL jig with a shad tail while fishing Sarasota Bay with Capt. Ric k Grassett.
BRADENTON – Gulf recreational red snapper season closes July 15 in state waters. Weather Underground is predicting a weak high pressure will remain over the waters through the forecast period...keeping winds light and seas on the low side outside of any thunderstorms. Captain Rick Grassett says you should find trout, blues and more on deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay. Look for reds and big trout on shallow flats or edges of bars early in the day. Catch and release snook fishing should also be good in passes and around docks and bridges close to passes.
Gulf recreational red snapper season closes July 15 in state waters
- The recreational red snapper season in Gulf state waters closes July 15, with the last day of harvest being July 14. Florida state waters in the Gulf are from shore to 9 nautical miles.
- To learn more about recreational red snapper fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, visit MyFWC.com/Fishing and click on "Saltwater," "Recreational Regulations" and "Gulf Snapper."
- Several workshops on Gulf of Mexico recreational red snapper are planned for late July. The public is invited to discuss state and federal management of recreational red snapper and to explore future approaches for managing this fishery. Visit MyFWC.com/Fishing and click on "Saltwater," "Rulemaking" and "Workshops" to learn more.
FWC moves to simplify saltwater rules in 3 counties
- The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) approved a measure at its June 18 meeting in Fort Myers that will remove several outdated or redundant localized regulations in Gilchrist, Indian River and Manatee counties. These changes will go into effect as soon as possible.
- The FWC has been working to streamline and clarify saltwater fishing rules since 2009 as part of a marine fisheries rule clean-up process. This includes reviewing existing localized rules known as Special Acts of Local Application and working with county governments to remove them if warranted. Many Special Acts were put in place before the Marine Fisheries Commission, one of the FWC's predecessor agencies, was created, and are now no longer necessary due to more current, statewide fishing management.
- The governments from all three counties have been working with the FWC on these changes. The FWC will be working with other counties in the future to help streamline and reduce regulations throughout the state, increasing transparency and consistency while standardizing FWC saltwater fishing management and making it easier for fishermen to access and participate in Florida fishing. The repeal of the Special Acts for these three counties is not expected to have any negative effects on Florida's fisheries.
- In Manatee County, seven Special Acts are slated to be removed, including ones that limit the types of gear that can be used within the waters of the county, set aggregate bag limits for saltwater fish on the Manatee River, and authorize Manatee County to regulate the harvest of finfish within the county. Current statewide regulations now address the use of gear and give the FWC the authority to regulate the harvest of saltwater fish. Repealing these conflicting and redundant rules will help clarify and simplify regulations in Manatee County.

|Capt. Rick DePaiva, from Ft. Myers, FL, battles a tarpon jumped on a fly while fishing the coastal gulf with Capt. Rick Grassett.
Fly anglers fishing the coastal gulf in Sarasota with me on my Action Craft flats skiff the Snook Fin-Addict, out of CB's Saltwater Outfitters on Siesta Key, continued to have action with tarpon, getting numerous shots and jumping several. Spin fishing anglers caught and released trout and blues in Sarasota Bay on DOA Lures during the past week.
Dean Hannemann, from Sarasota, FL, fished with me on Monday. He had numerous shots at tarpon, jumped 1 and battled it through several jumps before the fish chewed through the 80-lb bite tippet. If the fish is hooked with the leader wrapped around the "clipper" portion of the jaw, they can sometimes wear through it quickly. Wind blew strong out of the west on Wednesday and Thursday and conditions were not fishable in the coastal gulf for tarpon those days.
Jerry Poslusny and Bill Nesbitt, both from Rochester, NY, tarpon fished with me on Friday and Saturday. Following a couple of days of west wind and rough water, we were pleasantly surprised to find good conditions and lots of tarpon. They had numerous shots both days but Friday was their best day with 3 bites and a couple of hook ups. One of the last casts of the day resulted in a hook up with a large female gave us some great jumps and a smoking run. A great way to end the day!
Tim Graham, from Nokomis, FL and Aaron Way, from St. Petersburg, FL, fished Sarasota Bay with me on Sunday morning for a change of pace. We fished deep grass flats on the west side of the bay where they caught and released a few trout and blues on CAL jigs with shad tails and DOA Deadly Combos.
Tarpon fishing should be good next week as we head towards a full moon. Inshore you should find trout, blues and more on deep grass flats of Sarasota Bay. Look for reds and big trout on shallow flats or edges of bars early in the day. Catch and release snook fishing should also be good in passes and around docks and bridges close to passes.

20 Questions With...Alan Ayckbourn
Editorial Staff • West End • 25 Jun 2001
Alan Ayckbourn was encouraged to write by theatrical pioneer Stephen Joseph and, since 1971, Ayckbourn has been the artistic director of the theatre, now called the Stephen Joseph Theatre, that his mentor founded in Scarborough in 1955.
One of the most prolific playwrights in British history, Ayckbourn has premiered almost all of his plays in Scarborough, though they don't usually stay there. Since his first hit, Relatively Speaking opened at the Duke of York's in London in 1967, more than 25 of Ayckbourn's plays have subsequently been produced in the West End, at the National or the RSC. These include Absurd Person Singular, The Norman Conquests, Bedroom Farce, A Small Family Business, and more recently, Things We Do for Love, House and Garden, and the Olivier Award-winning Comic Potential.
Ayckbourn's plays have been translated into 30 languages, been performed on stage and television around the world, and received numerous awards. He has also written many plays for children, including 1998's The Boy Who Fell into a Book.
In addition to his work as an author, Ayckbourn is an established theatre director. Since 1978, he has directed the London productions of all of his own plays while his productions of other's work - such as A View from the Bridge, Conversations with My Father and By Jeeves - have met with critical acclaim.
In 1997, Ayckbourn became the first playwright since Terence Rattigan to be knighted by the Queen. This summer his 58th, 59th and 60th plays - GamePlan , FlatSpin and RolePlay - all receive their premieres at the Stephen Joseph Theatre.
Date & place of birth
Born in London on 12 April 1939.
Lives now in...
Scarborough, North Yorkshire
Professional training
I've had no formal training. I learnt through doing - everything from being a scene painter to stage manager, sound technician, actor, director and writer.
First big break
Working with Stephen Joseph.
Career highlights
Favourite actor/director/playwright
I don't have one - it's invidious to mention one more than any other.
What play (by someone else!) would you most like to have written & why?
There are quite a lot, all for different reasons - but not one more than any other.
What's the best thing currently on stage (not including your own productions)?
I don't go to the theatre very much - I'm too busy doing it so can't say.
What advice would you give the government to secure the future of British theatre?
Increase core funding for the regions so that theatres can establish their own individual voices.
If you could swap places with one person (living or dead), who would it be & why?
Anyone 40 years younger than me. I'd like their energy.
Favourite book
The Synonym Finder by JI Rodale
Favourite holiday destination
Anywhere I've been to once and returned to a second time. (I never go anywhere more than twice, though I secretly adore the Lake District, preferably out of season.)
Favourite joke
I can never remember clean jokes. One of my favourites has the tag line, "But I'm afraid the rabbi's a goner". What do you like/dislike about the Internet?
I can never find anything (on the Internet) since any simple enquiry elicits 600 replies, the first 599 of which are completely irrelevant and 300 are direct links to hard-core porn sites. In general, it's quicker to pick up a reference book. The Stephen Joseph's - www.sjt.uk.com - is the best website I know of.
Why have you chosen Scarborough as your base as opposed to London or elsewhere? How important has the Stephen Joseph Theatre been to your work?
The Stephen Joseph Theatre has been immeasurably important - most of my plays would probably not have been written without my connection to it. In a sense, initially Scarborough chose me in that, through Stephen Joseph, it offered me a three-month summer job. Subsequently, I chose Scarborough because I believed in the work at the theatre, I loved living by the seaside and I am happiest being 300 miles away from London.
What is your secret for writing so quickly and continually coming up with fresh ideas?
Interaction with a company as a director, which stimulates me as a writer. I find it very hard to write in a vacuum.
You are also renowned for your innovations in concept and staging, most notably with House and Garden (which were performed simultaneously on two stages by the same cast). What inspires you in this regard?
Anything that can draw attention to the fact that a theatre performance is an event - and, unlike film or television or radio, a live one-off unique event - is important. And actors and directors love challenges.
Why do GamePlan, FlatSpin and RolePlay all utilise the same cast and set?
I grew to miss the permanence of the acting company. The strength that can be drawn from the group rather than the individual. Regular permanent companies are the exception these days, partly due to finance. To made such a company work requires a lot of planning and considerably ingenuity. It can be done, but it usually demands that the plays are either improvised by the company or specifically written to fit their needs or numbers. It seemed to me I was in the best position to address this. I'm a director who is known to enjoy planning, and I have a resident dramatist (me) ready, willing and still relatively able. So this is my attempt to return to an ongoing "permanent" company.
What special challenges do you think there are for writing comedy?
The best comedy lurks just above the surface of tragedy - these two elements illuminate each other. The challenge is to bring the comedy as close to the surface as possible so that it floats but doesn't sink with all hands.
Why do you also like to write for children and what special challenges are there in addressing this younger audience?
I wanted children to experience the joy of live theatre, and in the process, I found that it fed my adult work. I discovered a very thin dividing line existed between what I wrote for children and what I wrote for adults. If anything, I hope it's made me a better writer because it takes you back to basics. You have to be quite concise, you have to find ways around long expositions. It's best to leave out oblique adult or sexual themes because children really aren't interested in them. There's no harm in scaring them a little or making them a bit tearful. But I never shut them in metaphorical cupboards. Or close doors. I tend to say in my plays, anything is possible.
If you hadn't become a playwright, what would you have done for a living?
I would have been a theatre director who didn't write. Or a sound engineer.
What advice would you give to young playwrights just starting their careers?
Study plays that you admire. Dissect them in an attempt to find out in more detail why they work. Try and get close to the business itself as an actor, stage manager, technician, administrator or simply an usher. Playwriting is essentially a practical craft, and it does no harm to be close to the practice. Remember finally that you're writing for actors so develop the art of varying your voice.
How will you mark the premiere of your 60th play?
RolePlay will be my 60th, and I will mark it with a post show drink and a sigh of relief.
Is there any number after which you plan to stop writing plays?
- Alan Ayckbourn was speaking to Terri Paddock
GamePlan continues at the Stephen Joseph Theatre Scarborough until 25 August, FlatSpin runs from 28 June to 8 September, and RolePlay runs from 30 August to 8 September 200

Riley Kern pin-up photographer
Riley Kern loves to have fun with her subjects, push the limits and experiment
Riley Kern blends vibrant colours, retro class, and pin-up kitsch in a photographic recipe synonymous only to the RK Studio brand
Riley Kern is a portrait photographer located in Orange County and Los Angeles. She grew up in Bakersfield and her love of country western music and culture can be seen throughout her work. Her appreciation for all things retro can be attributed to her hometown roots. Her humour and fun loving personality shine through her colourful and vibrant images.
Riley is highly influenced by classic pin-up artists such as painters Gil Elvgren, George Petty, and Alberto Vargas. She also draws inspiration from photographers such as Bunny Yeager and George Hurrell, in addition to live vintage pin-up girls such as Betty Grable, Jean Harlow, Tempest storm & of course the infamous Betty Page.
Riley Kern
She fell in love with pin-up girls for their playful and classic imagery. Pin-ups convey a balance of innocence and confidence in their sexuality that Riley admires. Pin-ups embrace women of all shapes and sizes, and prove it is much more about the glimmer in your eye, a playful smirk, or your sense of confidence than it is about your body size.

No. 20/21 Softball Hosts No. 5/6 Tennessee For Single Game
March 28, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. – After a strong road win Wednesday night at Lipscomb where the Wildcats blasted two home runs to earn a 8-1 victory, the No. 20/21 University of Kentucky softball team is set to play host to No. 5/6 Tennessee in a single-game non-conference set on Friday at 5 p.m. ET at the UK Softball Complex.

Even mobile apps that get a quick pop when they launch often can't sustain it and die a quiet death for lack of use. Many apps, of course, aren't that great or don't offer enough to prompt most people to use them more than a few times. But for others, the problem is that app developers simply don't know how to keep bringing users back.
Kahuna, a company launching today, hopes to change that with a service that it calls a Customer Engagement Engine. Backed with a $2 million seed round from SoftTech VC and Costanoa Venture Capital as well as a bunch of angels including several current and former Facebook Facebook executives, Kahuna says its service analyzes app user behavior in real time and serves up personalized marketing messages to help raise app usage and revenue generation.
CEO and cofounder Adam Marchick, a onetime member of Facebook's "growth team," says the service combines analytics with automated push and email messaging for the first time, essentially boxing up the "growth hacking" that the likes of Facebook, LinkedIn LinkedIn, Twitter, and Dropbox have used to build their businesses fast. "We're democratizing engagement to the world," he says.
Using prebuilt campaign templates that can be customized for each company, Marchick says, messages can be changed in real time depending on the types of customers being targeted and the responses. With online retailer Karmaloop, for instance, Kahuna can notice when users are showing an interest in certain products but don't buy them, and send them messages that might prompt them to buy.
Kahuna has been testing out the service with about 20 customers since early this year, including Karmaloop, rental finder Apartment List, and mobile gift card startup Gyft. Gyft, for instance, increased revenue 17% in the first month after using Kahuna, thanks to a 240% jump in re-engaged users. On average, he says, the customers saw usage of their apps double and revenues rise 15%.
Lee Linden, head of commerce at Facebook and investor in Kahuna, says the key problem Kahuna solves is the lack of marketing savvy among app developers. "A lot of the people building apps don't have the skill set to market the app, measure the usage, and get people to re-engage with the app," he says. "They've built this turnkey product that takes care of all that. I haven't seen anyone else address this."
Whether users find this useful or annoying remains to be seen, since marketing tools often can be used to excess, as anyone who has been followed around the Internet by a retargeted ad knows.

Review: RIOBOT Gurren Lagann4
Not too long ago, Sen-Ti-Nel released Gurren Lagann in their RIOBOT line. Gurren Lagann is a mecha from the titular Gainax anime – Gurren Lagann. Here is the review.
Figure: I think the first impression that people get, once the figure is in their hands, is that Gurren Lagann is surprisingly light; it feels very delicate – like a model kit. There is absolutely no die-cast in this figure. People will then notice Sen-Ti-Nel's immaculate attention to detail. Gurren Lagann is beautiful despite taking a stylistic design with the mecha. The paint scheme is crisp, as the color choices are solid. The next thing that people notice is the unique engineering of the articulation points. Not only do the traditional body parts move, there are also deliberate functions that hide joints as well. If the knee is bent, a thigh panel will slide over the kneecap – brilliant. If you want to further tighten the legs and have Gurren Lagan kneel, the shin can also crumple in to do this; I always want this in my action figures. Another example of this is with the elbows; if the elbows are bent, a separate panel falls to conceal the joint-work. What's even crazier is that Gurren Lagann's torso-face is surprisingly emotable (for a face on a figure's torso). Not only does the mouth open and close, the pupils move too. Oh, did I mention that the side skirts can move around freely? Before I run out of breath and claim that Gurren Lagann has the best articulation I've ever seen… I do have three minor points of contention: 1) the arms can't cross, 2) there's no toe-bend, and 3) the neck doesn't tilt upwards enough. These are really minor complaints, but they are legit. Lastly, I thought that the figure was stronger than it felt, but I found out the hard way that it is actually pretty fragile. I don't know how it happened, but the flaming skulls pop off the shoulders every time I stare at them. I also think that the face could have been sculpted better.
Accessories: Despite being packaged in a giant box, there aren't as many accessories as you would think. First, there are eight hands, that are nicely sculpted with paint work on them, as well as an alternate screaming head – standard fare. Next, there's a pair of alternate wrist guards that have drills on them. Along with these items are three arm drills: two of them are the same size and the third is a longer thin one. The torso sunglasses can be removed, so that Gurren Lagann can toss one of two (or both) sunglass boomerangs. Finally, there's a set of wings that clips to the figure's back panel, and it's articulated through the roof; this thing is amazing and even has a thruster that extends out. That's it for the main accessories… to me, the real star of the show is the figure stand. It isn't very different from what we've seen in the past except for the clear glossy piece of plastic that acts as a reflective surface. Though it's extremely modular and versatile, the glass-like surface seals the high-end package.
Overall: Though the price may seem steep for most people, I find it appropriate for the level of craftsmanship shown with this product. Both the figure is awesome and the accessories are great. Besides a Giga Drill and a transformable head, what more can you realistically expect for a figure of this price range? Though I can't find what Gurren Lagann's actual height is supposed to be, it won't feel out of scale with most Super Robot Chogokin figures either. If you can find one at an affordable price, you're really not going to be disappointed with this purchase.

|ANAHEIM CITY COUNCIL ADOPTS BALANCED BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2014/15 More than $316 million invested in the community; additional service enhancements included
ANAHEIM, CA - (June 18, 2014) -
The Anaheim City Council unanimously approved the City's $1.6 billion budget for fiscal year 2014/15, and it represents a diverse plan that provides for innovative programs and thoughtful investments in our neighborhoods. With the approval of the budget, the City remains committed to the community with a focus on strengthening public safety, improving neighborhoods and community infrastructure, and fostering economic growth.
The City Council committed to a community investment of more than $316 million for new or improved parks and community centers, continuing street and transportation improvements, and utility system upgrades. The FY 2014/15 approved budget, including service enhancements, represents an increase of 3.7% from the previous year.
Based on the five-year plan, the City will include an additional $2.9 million in public safety and neighborhood service enhancements on an ongoing basis. These include staffing increases for Police, Fire, Community Services, Planning and City Attorney that will directly benefit the community with improved response, program enhancements and neighborhood support. Additionally, the City added $3 million in one-time projects and purchases to benefit both neighborhood services and public safety, funded by additional revenue in the current year primarily from increased transient occupancy tax (TO) and sales tax.
The FY 2014/15 budget represents four areas of community support and service:

Furthermore, the five-year General Fund plan supports the addition of 10 police officers for each of the next three fiscal years.
The FY 2014/15 budget provides for continued support of the many resources to strengthen community policing and community outreach programs. It includes a focus on engaging youth through many programs such as Junior Cadets, Anaheim Police Explorers, Gang Reduction and Intervention Partnership (GRIP) and a new Public Safety Career Pathway for junior high school students. With a focus on their strategic plan, the Fire Department continues their efforts to repair and replace aging equipment and is committed to the delivery of high quality service to our community.

Use any font in your favorite word processor. Make sure you use a large font size and save. Then, upload your file as artwork.
There is no perfect answer, but a couple simple rules can help you find a great match for your artwork.
For simple artwork shapes explore more intricate fabric patterns.

In another stunning victory for the Obama Administration, the US Senate passed the financial regulatory reform bill by a vote of 59-39 on Thursday night. (A summary of the legislation can be found on the Senate Banking Committee website.)
We are optimistic that this legislation will begin to address the "trust issues" that now dominate the equity marketplace. It was these "trust issues" that caused a 1,000 point intra-day fall in the Dow Jones Industrial Index on May 6. Until now, rational, fair or effective solutions to the practices that caused so much turmoil in 2007, 2008 and 2009 had not been enacted in any Western economy or market system.
Market mechanisms are simply stressed to the breaking point, given the sharp rise in transaction costs. Transaction costs increased as marketplace ethics decreased. Financial market institutions, recognizing that a decline in ethical standards eventually leads to a decline in trust and an increase in transaction costs, attempted to use financial innovation to deal with the ethics/trust issue. They did so via derivatives: these and other financial market "innovations" were designed to counter a growing lack of ethics in the marketplace. (This is why AIG Group was a key factor in the crisis: insurance policies they sold on financial transactions were supposed to eliminate the need to be concerned with unscrupulous (see Goldman emails) actors. These "insurance policies" proved ineffective, however, and only served to increase transaction costs further.) These increased transaction costs precipitated and caused global market failure in 2007 and 2008.
While we would not be surprised to see the market fall significantly over the next few weeks, markets will recover once transaction costs are lowered. Transaction costs will be lowered when ethical standards, and the trust that results from them, are increased. The financial reform legislation, championed by the Obama Administration and passed by both the House and Senate, is an attempt to do so. While additional legislation will be required, we think this a good first step.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (right) meets with Todd Watkins (left), director of the Baker Institute, and Lehigh President Alice Gast.
Lehigh's commitment to student entrepreneurship and economic development was praised by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett during a visit Tuesday to the Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania on Lehigh's Mountaintop Campus.
Lehigh undergraduates, alumni and the owners of businesses housed at Ben Franklin's new TechVentures® site presented their work to Corbett during his visit.
The governor said he was impressed with the university's student entrepreneurs. Lehigh was recently ranked among the nation's top 25 undergraduate colleges for entrepreneurship, thanks in part to the success of the university's Dexter F. Baker Institute for Entrepreneurship, Creativity and Innovation.
"In talking to the students, you can see how fast these young people are changing what we do," said Corbett.
"We work to foster creative talent. Our mission is to try to encourage an entrepreneurial mindset," said Todd A. Watkins, director of the Baker Institute and the Arthur F. Searing Professor of Economics in Lehigh's College of Business and Economics.
"One of the things we try to emphasize is that it's not just faculty; this is all student-generated technology."
An impressive return on investment
"My administration," said Corbett, "has been happy to partner with Ben Franklin and TechVentures to create the innovative, high-tech and high-wage jobs that emerge from this program. We want to bring young people to Pennsylvania's best schools and keep them here to live out their dreams."
The TechVentures incubator was lauded for what Corbett called an impressive return on investment. Since 1983, it has graduated 55 successful companies that support more than 5,400 jobs in Pennsylvania. During that same time period, Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Northeastern Pennsylvania has created more than 15,000 jobs in the northeastern region of the state.
Several of these companies are run by Lehigh alumni, including EcoTech Marine. Tim Marks '04 and Pat Clasen '04 helped found EcoTech while they were undergraduates in Lehigh's Integrated Product Development (IPD) program. The company recently leased a new 35,000-square-foot facility in Allentown to accommodate its expanding business.
"EcoTech is an excellent example of Ben Franklin helping to build and grow something from an idea to a reality," said Corbett.
Corbett was introduced by Lehigh President Alice P. Gast, who spoke about the university's continued effort to encourage innovation and support manufacturing – including the recent conference of the Council on Competitiveness that was held here and co-sponsored by Lehigh and Air Products.
"At Lehigh, we take enormous pride both in the quality and productivity of our basic research programs, and in the attention we put on translating the fruits of those programs into practice," said Gast.
"The commonwealth has supported our efforts to make the fruits of our work – knowledge, specialized capabilities and of course talented students and graduates – ever more powerful assets to the people of Pennsylvania."
Story by Karl Brisseaux
Posted on Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Corbett listens to a presentation by Mike McCreary '07 (right, background), who founded the 48,000-square-foot Lehigh Valley Grand Prix, which he now operates with his wife, Kristine.
Graeme Radlo '13, a mechanical engineering major, describes the project he is working on in Lehigh's award-winning Integrated Product Development (IPD) program, in which students from engineering, business and the arts work with corporate sponsors to design, make and market products.

The Museum and Curatorial Studies Research Cluster presents:
Griselda Pollock
Professor of Social and Critical Histories of Art, University of Leeds
"Curating in the Freudian Space of Memory and Migration"
Thursday, November 5th / 2-4 PM / Humanities 210
What is curation? In contemporary art, the curator functions as an author, the exhibition as text, the works as illustrations of a thesis, the catalogue as the monument, where the art is a series of photographic reproductions. Is there a way to create exhibitions that function as an encounter in their phenomenological moment, the elements of the event jointly brought into being by the curator? Professor Pollock studies the history of feminist events as a history of exhibition-events and invites her students to think about the exhibition as a form of discourse and research through which to explore unexpected meanings, relations, and effects. In June, she curated her fourth exhibition. The talk explores the coincidence of the chosen site, the Freud Museum in London (as a space of migration and memory), with the artist's installation in these spaces.
Griselda Pollock is Professor of Social and Critical Histories of Art in the Department of Fine Art at the University of Leeds, England, where she is also Director of the Center for Cultural Studies and the Center for Jewish Studies. Professor Pollock is the author of numerous publications, including: Encounters in a Virtual Feminist Museum: Time, Space, & the Archive (Routledge, 2007); Differencing the Canon: Feminist Desire and the Writing of Art's Histories (Routledge, 1999); and The Sacred and the Feminine: Imagination and Sexual Difference, edited with Victoria Turvey-Sauron (I.B. Tauris, 2008).
Readings will be available from firstname.lastname@example.com.

Letter from Wallace to his sister Fanny about his assistant leaving and successful collecting in Borneo, dated February 1856.
Wallace wrote to his sister on his return to Singapore, following a collecting trip to Borneo. He describes his foot infection and his pleasant stay with Sir James Brooke in Sarawak. Sir James Brooke was the Rajah of Sarawak, who worked hard to protect the indigenous people against exploitation. Wallace says he was 'a gentleman and a nobleman'.
He tells Fanny that his assistant Charles Allen had left him, staying in Borneo to teach with the Bishop of Sarawak. Wallace had mixed feelings, despite extensive complaints about Charles in previous letters. 'I hardly know whether to be glad or sorry he has left', he admits. 'I feel it quite a relief without him he had just begun to be valuable in collecting.' Perhaps Wallace grew to like Charles after all, despite his faults.
Wallace remarks that collecting in Borneo was very good. He collected 'upwards of 25,000 insects', in addition to birds, mammals and plants. This is an amazing amount. He was probably the most prolific collectors of his time. Wallace kept some specimens for his own private collection and relied on selling the rest to pay for his voyages.

It doesn't take much time on the Mount Carmel campus to realize that you are part of a community guided by faith. Whether this first becomes apparent when you see students leading food drives for the local food bank, eating lunch with the full time Campus Minister, worshiping at monthly liturgies, attending annual retreats or walking by some of our beautiful Carmelite art, you will quickly learn that our Catholic Carmelite tradition is a big part of who we are. The academy's motto, "this is for you and yours, a privilege..." echoes Our Lady of Mount Carmel's call to service. Through the lens of faith, OLMC is the place where students learn to be servant leaders in their communities.

Microbial degradation of explosives: biotransformation versus mineralization

The nitroaromatic explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) is a reactive molecule that biotransforms readily under both aerobic and anaerobic conditions to give aminodinitrotoluenes. The resulting amines biotransform to give several other products, including azo, azoxy, acetyl and phenolic derivatives, leaving the aromatic ring intact. Although some Meisenheimer complexes, initiated by hydride ion attack on the ring, can be formed during TNT biodegradation, little or no mineralization is encountered during bacterial treatment. Also, although the ligninolytic physiological phase and manganese peroxidase system of fungi can cause some TNT mineralization in liquid cultures, little to no mineralization is observed in soil. Therefore, despite more than two decades of intensive research to biodegrade TNT, no biomineralization-based technologies have been successful to date. The non-aromatic cyclic nitramine explosives hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine (HMX) lack the electronic stability enjoyed by TNT or its transformed products. Predictably, a successful enzymatic change on one of the N–NO2 or C–H bonds of the cyclic nitramine would lead to a ring cleavage because the inner C–N bonds in RDX become very weak (<2 kcal/mol). Recently this hypothesis was tested and proved feasible, when RDX produced high amounts of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide following its treatment with either municipal anaerobic sludge or the fungus Phanaerocheate chrysosporium. Research aimed at the discovery of new microorganisms and enzymes capable of mineralizing energetic chemicals and/or enhancing irreversible binding (immobilization) of their products to soil is presently receiving considerable attention from the scientific community.

Ray J Disses Pregnant Kim Kardashian — Kanye West Calls Him "Jealous"
Kanye West is not pleased that Ray J has recorded a song in which he calls out former girlfriend Kim Kardashian.
Kim — who's now pregnant with Kanye's baby — dated Ray J years ago, and Ray J has released a new song called "I Hit It First" in which he brags about having sex with Kim.
So what does Kanye think of the song? He isn't happy about it, according to Hollywood Life.
"Kanye don't condone broke ass, jealous [guys] who be trying to bite off he and Kim's fame just to stay — wait, just to become — relevant," sats a friend of Kanye's. Ouch.
"Ray J is crazy" and "wack" for releasing the song, adds the source.
"Tell him to call Ye when he gets to the $100-million mark," the source continues. "Cause guess what — Ye 'hit that' first."
In Ray J's new song, he makes reference to his sex tape that he recorded with Kim in 2003, and the song also alludes to Kim and Kanye's relationship:
She might move on to rappers and ballplayers
But we all know I hit it first
I had her head going North and her ass going South
But now baby chose to go West
No matter where she goes or who she know
She still belongs in my bed
Ray J is quite the gentleman, isn't he?
No wonder Kanye isn't pleased!

Hi Mr Purdy. Unfortunately Museum Victoria cannot provide valuations of objects or conservation advice. We suggest that you contact a horologist in the UK.

Letter: McDonald-Smith right about 'equality gone wild'
I would like to commend The Forecaster for having the courage to include Julie McDonald-Smith's views from the right. Her recent warning to parents of college-bound students (high-schoolers take note as well, I might add) exposes the left's equality-gone-wild agenda. Human value and the inherent rights of equality under the law is one thing, we all agree. It is the supposition, predominantly on the left, that this equates with economic value. These two value judgements are not one and the same. In our society, human value is unlimited. However, economic value of a human in a capitalist system has inherent limitations. Further, it is the right's fervent belief it is the individual's responsibility to affect change of those limitations and reducing impediments to the opportunity is the human thing to do.

"Have the courage to use your own understanding! - that is the motto of enlightenment."- Immanuel Kant The Enlightenment is one of the most important and contested periods in the history of philosophy. The problems it addressed, such as the proper extent of individual freedom and the challenging of tradition, resonate as much today as when they were first debated. Of all philosophers, it is arguably Kant who took such questions most seriously, addressing them above all in his celebrated short essay, An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment? In this engaging and lucid book, Samuel Fleischacker first explains and assesses Kant's philosophy of Enlightenment. He then considers critics of Kant's views - from Burke and Hegel to Horkheimer and Adorno - and figures he regards as having extended Kant's notion of enlightenment, such as Feuerbach, Marx, Habermas, Foucault, and Rawls. Throughout, he demonstrates how Kant holds two distinct theories of enlightenment. On the one hand, Kant proposes a 'minimal' view, where to be enlightened is simply to engage in critical public discussion, allowing diversity of opinion to flourish. On the other, he argues that Kant elsewhere calls for a 'maximal' view of enlightenment, where, for example, an enlightened person cannot believe in a traditional religion. With great skill Fleischacker shows how these two views are taken in a multitude of directions by both critics and advocates of Kant's philosophy. Arguing that Kant's minimal enlightenment is a precondition for a healthy proliferation of cultures, religious faiths and political movements, What is Enlightenment'is a fascinating introduction to a key aspect of Kant's thought and a compelling analysis of philosophical thinking about the Enlightenment. Including helpful chapter summaries and guides to further reading, it is ideal for anyone studying Kant or the philosophy of the Enlightenment, as well as those in related disciplines such as politics, history and religious studies.

The Sun Sentinel out of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is reporting former Erie BayHawk Alade Aminu will make his NBA debut with the Miami Heat on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors.
Aminu, an All-Star D-League power forward who was traded to Bakersfield for guard Blake Ahearn, will be on a 10-day contract with the Heat. Out of Georgia Tech, Aminu was in Miami's training camp last fall.
I got in touch with Aminu on Friday morning and he confirmed the news to me then. Then later that night after the BayHawks beat Fort Wayne, I talked with Erie rookie point guard Cedric Jackson about it.
"He sent me a text message the other day at like 2 o'clock in the morning," said Jackson, who has received two NBA call-ups this season with the Cleveland Cavaliers and San Antonio Spurs.
"I'm like, OK. He said, 'I'm going to call you tomorrow.' I know he was excited. I told him I was extremely proud of him. Just told him to work hard and make sure he focuses and do what he do because that's where he belongs."
