Tuesday's meeting resulted in the joint signing of a Declaration of Principles, which will increase China's customs security through the Container Security Initiative (CSI) and highlighted the importance of international customs partnerships. Later that day, Secretary Johnson issued a statement congratulating Vice Admiral and current Vice Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Peter Neffenger on his Senate confirmation to be the next Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Secretary Johnson said, "I have utmost faith in Pete Neffenger, and I am confident he will be a strong leader of TSA."
On Wednesday, June 24, Secretary Johnson issued a statement on reforms to family residential centers, after determining that substantial changes were needed regarding the detention of families with children. Secretary Johnson said, "Once a family has established eligibility for asylum or other relief under our laws, long term detention is an inefficient use of our resources and should be discontinued." Secretary Johnson also released a statement on Wednesday saluting the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) for their work to apprehend alleged cybercriminal Ercan Findikoglu.
Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) Under Secretary Dr. Reginald Brothers traveled to Chicago on Wednesday, June 24 to discuss partnership and technology development opportunities with the Chicago Police Department and the Chicago Office of Emergency Management and Communications. He continued his Chicago visit on Thursday, June 25, by presenting on industry partnerships and the adaptation of commercial technologies for emergency situations at a Techweek Chicago event.
On Thursday, June 25, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Deputy Director Dan Ragsdale, U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Secretary of Labor Thomas Perez announced the launch of the Anti-Trafficking Coordination Team (ACTeam) Phase II initiative. After Phase I's success, this new phase will continue streamlining efforts to combat human trafficking. This collaboration will forge a powerful force of federal law enforcement resources to thoroughly address this national issue.
Also on Thursday, Deputy Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas gave remarks as a Keynote Speaker at the Security Innovation Network Innovation Summit entitled "Connecting Wall Street, Silicon Valley and the Beltway" at The TimesCenter in New York City.
On Friday, June 26, Deputy Secretary Mayorkas delivered closing remarks at the Organization of American States General Assembly multi-sector conference entitled, "Major Sporting Events: the Crossroads of security and Socio-Economic Development." Deputy Secretary Mayorkas discussed the unifying nature of major sports events and the necessity of protecting the large crowds they attract.
Also on Friday, Secretary Johnson released a statement recognizing the Department of Homeland Security's accomplishment of receiving at "A+" grade on the Small Business Administration's Annual Small Business Procurement Scorecard. He also highlighted that DHS is the only agency to receive an "A" grade for six years in a row.
Lastly, Secretary Johnson issued a statement on Friday in support of France, Kuwait, and Tunisia as they mourn those killed in recent terrorist attacks.
As part of our efforts to share timely and actionable cyber threat information with the private sector, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has expanded the Enhanced Cybersecurity Services (ECS) program beyond those entities classified as "critical infrastructure" to all interested U.S.-based public and private organizations. ECS solves a difficult challenge for the U.S. government: sometimes, the government has information so sensitive that the information is classified. If information is classified, we cannot share it broadly with the private sector to let companies protect themselves.
The solution is ECS. Through ECS, DHS shares sensitive and classified cyber threat indicators from across government with Commercial Service Providers (CSPs). In turn, these CSPs, use this information to protect their customers from cyber threats. CSPs are thus a managed security service: a company can pay to receive the security service that these CSPs offer.
ECS provides an invaluable layer of defense to augment an organization's existing capabilities for protecting against unauthorized access and data exfiltration.
Until recently, this program was only available to those companies that DHS certified as "critical infrastructure." With this expansion, CSPs are able to offer ECS services available to all interested U.S.-based public and private organizations.
Since its launch in 2013, ECS has detected more than 800,000 indicators of malicious cyber activity. It has proven to be a highly effective part of a layered defense, and I recommend it for any organization seeking to implement additional protections against sophisticated threats.
There are currently three approved ECS CSPs: AT&T, CenturyLink, and Verizon. U.S.-based companies interested in participating in ECS can reach out to one of these CSPs and learn more about the program:
- AT&T (firstname.lastname@example.com)
- CenturyLink (email@example.com)
- Verizon (firstname.lastname@example.com)
DHS does not endorse any one particular service or business.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) welcomed 24 refugees from 10 countries as they were sworn in as new U.S. citizens on June 20 at the Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin, TX. World Refugee Day is observed on June 20 each year, and was established in 2001, the 50th anniversary of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees.

America needs a strong cyber workforce to keep up with evolving technology and increasing cybersecurity risks. To help meet this need, DHS has expanded access to the Federal Virtual Training Environment (FedVTE) – an online training center featuring a wide range of cybersecurity courses – to state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) government employees across the country.
Sponsored by DHS and supported by the Department of Defense's Defense Information Systems Agency, FedVTE provides:
- Government-wide, on-demand access to cybersecurity training to help the workforce maintain expertise and foster operational readiness;
- Courses ranging from beginner to advanced levels;
- Training available at no cost to users; and
- Training accessible from any internet-enabled computer.
On average, FedVTE delivers more than 35,000 hours of training per month and in 2014 alone, FedVTE saved the federal government approximately $72 million in training costs.
DHS is coordinating outreach about the program to SLTT governments through the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), which is a part of the nonprofit Center for Internet Security. With a mission to improve the overall cyber security posture of SLTT governments, the MS-ISAC is the focal point for cyber threat prevention, protection, response, and recovery for the nation's SLTT governments. SLTT government personnel are be able to access the system at fedvte.usalearning.gov. SLTT government personnel can also contact email@example.com with any account approval questions.
The FedVTE expansion to SLTT governments is led by the DHS SLTT Cybersecurity Engagement Program in conjunction with the DHS Cybersecurity Education & Awareness Branch. For more information about FedVTE, please visit the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Careers and Studies portal at: http://niccs.us-cert.gov/training/fedvte.

World Refugee Day is June 20. This day is always special to employees of USCIS as we play a critical role in resettling refugees from around the globe. This year marks the 10th anniversary of our refugee corps, which has grown to include 88 officers and 22 supervisors, who are based in Washington, D.C., but also travel around the world to interview refugee applicants. The men and women of the USCIS Refugee Corps provide resettlement opportunities to qualified refugees from around the globe while ensuring the integrity of the refugee program and our national security. Working in cooperation with the Department of State, the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program resettled 69,987 in the United States during fiscal year 2014.
Our director, Leόn Rodríguez, made a video in honor of the importance of World Refugee Day and the hard work of all people working to help refugees from around the globe.

Demonstrating the Los Angeles Region's Detection Capabilities to Interdict Radiological and Nuclear Threats
On May 28, 2015, the Los Angeles Mayor's Office and the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) hosted a demonstration of radiological and nuclear detection capabilities in the Los Angeles and Long Beach area.
The detection capabilities are part of DNDO's Securing the Cities (STC) program, a DHS effort that assists metropolitan areas as they build and establish regional and sustainable program structures that enable agencies to detect, interdict, and report on nuclear and other radioactive materials that are out of regulatory control. The program was initiated in the New York City, Jersey City, and Newark region as a pilot and later expanded to the Los Angeles and Long Beach area in 2012. The National Capital Region is the third implementation of the program and DHS intends to expand the program to a fourth location by the end of 2015.
During the demonstration, law enforcement partners from the Los Angeles Police and Fire Departments simulated a scenario where patrol officers encountered an alarm on a routine traffic stop and adjudicated the alarm with support from the Southern California Radiological Intake Center (SCRIC). The SCRIC dispatched additional personnel with spectroscopic personal radiation detectors to resolve the alarm. Following the demonstration, attendees had the opportunity to view detection equipment including personal radiation detectors, mobile systems on a Los Angeles Port Police patrol vessel, backpack detection systems, and radiological isotope identification devices.
The STC program is possible because of the congressional support and the important efforts of our state and local partners including those in the Los Angeles and Long Beach area. We were honored to be joined at the event by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard, Congressman Ted Lieu, and partners from the Los Angeles Fire Department, Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles Port Police, Orange County Sheriff's Department, Los Angeles County Fire Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, and Los Angeles World Airports Police.
Collaboration between DHS and local agencies in the Los Angeles and Long Beach area will help to further secure the region. We look forward to enhancing the regional capabilities and continuing these valuable partnerships with the Los Angeles Mayor's Office and law enforcement agencies in the area.

Five were wanted for homicide, two for kidnapping, one for raping a child and one for human sex trafficking.

The small town of West, Texas will never be the same after April 17, 2013, when the community was deeply shaken by a powerful explosion the West Fertilizer Company storage and distribution facility that killed fifteen people and injured more than 160. Investigators found that the explosion was caused by improperly stored Ammonium Nitrate.
In response, President Obama issued Executive Order 13650 Improving Chemical Facility Safety and Security in August of 2013. The order asks the Tri-Chairs of the Chemical Facility Safety and Security Working Group (the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Labor, and the Environmental Protection Agency), to work closely together to improve the of safety and security of chemical facilities across the country. The chairs have worked diligently over the past two years on the following areas:
- Strengthening community planning and preparedness;
- Enhancing federal operation coordination;
- Improving data management;
- Modernizing policies and regulations; and
- Incorporating stakeholder feedback and developing best practices.
The working group knows that stakeholders are essential to managing and mitigating the risks of potential chemical facility hazards and has engaged in a robust stakeholder outreach effort to identify successes and best practices. This outreach included engagement across all levels of government, with owners and operators, industry associations, labor organizations, and communities affected by chemical plant disasters.
One year ago, the working group released a status report to the president, entitled Actions to Improve Chemical Facility Safety and Security – A Shared Commitment, which summarized the Working Group's actions, findings and lessons learned, challenges, and short and long-term priority actions to that point. Last year's status report was a milestone, not an end-point.
Today we are releasing another update to highlight actions that have been taken since the release of the Final Status Report last year. These highlights include:
- Developing an on-line training module on the key requirements under Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA);
- Initiating a multi-organization working group to identify a list of government approved training courses for first responders and emergency planners, Training Repository;
- Institutionalizing a Federal Working Group to improve communication and coordination between agencies;
- Establishing Regional Working Groups in all ten Federal Regions;
- Incorporating chemical facility safety and security data into the EPA's facility registry service (FRS);
- Reissuing the Chemical Advisory: Safe Storage, Handling, and management of Ammonium Nitrate to incorporate stakeholder comments and concerns and the latest practices in ammonium nitrate safety;
- Hosted a public webinar to share updates on EO activities taken in November 2014 with the next webinar planned for June 19, 2015; and
- Launching actions to modernize OSHA's Process Safety Management Standard and EPA's Risk Management Program.
Safety and security are a shared commitment. We are committed to preventing more incidents like those in West, Texas, and ensuring that every worker comes home to their family safe and healthy at the end of every shift.

This weekend is a big one for Breaking Bad fans as the spin-off, Better Call Saul, airs its first episode.

If you can't wait until then, or just want a hint of the show's tone, AMC has released a prequel comic book for the series. This is cool for multiple reasons. One, the story takes place during an episode of Breaking Bad. And two, you don't even have to download it, you can read the entire thing online, right now. See the Better Call Saul comic book below.

Illusionary Prison Escape YKTTW Discussion
|Illusionary Prison Escape
An illusionist tricks a captive into thinking they've escaped so that actual escape is impossible.
"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."A Mind Manipulator is a difficult opponent—particularly if his/her victims have no way of knowing that they're in an illusion. This can be bad enough when trying to simply battle one. But even worse is what happens if the Illusionist captures you. In this trope, a Master of Illusion, Telepath, Reality Warper, or some other person capable of mentally controlling their victims or creating a false reality a takes a captive and keeps them there by allowing them to escape. Confused? Good. The captive is allowing the prisoner to "escape" by controlling their mind to make them think they are escaping. This has several advantages: one, it makes it impossible for the captive to actually escape; two, it allows the captor to learn all of the methods they would escape and then counter them; three, done enough times, and the prisoner can become "broken", questioning whether even a real escape attempt is just another illusion. And finally, it's just deliciously evil. Can be considered a form of Lotus-Eater Machine or Psychological Torment Zone. A more benign version of this can be a Epiphanic Prison or Closed Circle. Over the course of an entire story, this can be a form of The Masquerade. Related to Virtual Reality Interrogation. See also Schrödinger's Butterfly, where even the audience can't be sure that the illusion was truly escaped.
—Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Examples:Anime & Manga
- In Naruto, this is what a a resurrected Zombie!Itachi basically does to Kabuto, it's a subersion of sorts, because while "Izanami" does imprison the person in a loop replaying the events, said person can choose to change said events and thus, escape by acknowledging the consequences of their actions and accept their fate.
- Teen Titans: During the "Culling" arc of the New52 relaunch, a supervillain named Harvest captures the Titans except Kid Flash using a telepath. Fortunately, Kid Flash is able to use his Super Speed to dodge the telpath's attacks. As she has no speed of her own, he can stay one step ahead of—oh, whoops. That was an illusion. He was already captured and the whole fight was fake. But, in the meantime, they've already finished their Mind Rape on Robin, and he's now free to get away and rescue the others before—oh, sorry again. Robin's mind rape is still ongoing, and he's just as screwed as everyone else. My bad.
- Avengers vs. X-Men: What the Phoenix Five do to Avengers they've captured—locking them into Limbo and putting them through a simulation where they "escape" over and over again.
- Incredible Hercules: How the heroes defeat Amatsu-Mikaboshi.
- Shows up in a deleted scene in X2: X-Men United. The illusionist Jason makes Professor Xavier hallucinate about successfully escaping from Stryker's compound and returning to the mansion. (In the finished film, Jason just makes Xavier hallucinate that he's back at the mansion, without the transition.)
- 1408: One theory for the Gainax Ending.
- Played with in Harry Harrison's The Stainless Steel Rat's Revenge. The Gray Men have been psychologically torturing Jim diGriz by implanting false memories. When he manages to escape, he worries that his escape might be another false memory. It later turns out not to be the case.
They had been running through my cerebral cortex with their little leaden boots. This certainly proved my theoretical stance that a good deal of what had happened to me was illusion or false memory. What had been real? Was this 'escape' real at the present moment? This was a chilling thought; everything that was happening could be a generated series of unreal events to prove to me that I could not escape. I could keep going down these stairs forever or wake up at any moment back in my room still attached to my pendent box. Well, if this were true, there was absolutely nothing I could do about it. I had to treat this illusion like reality until it proved otherwise. Unless this was an endless dream building these stairs had to end somewhere, and I was going to find out.
- In an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation a holographic Professor Moriarity leaves the holodeck, even though that's impossible. It turns out that he's programmed the holodeck to make Picard & the others think he's left, but they're all still trapped on the holodeck. They turn tables on him, making him think that they've given him a shuttlecraft and allow him to leave to explore the galaxy, but he's really a program in a little box.
- This applies to the original pilot episode of Star Trek: The Original Series (as well as the two-parter, The Menagerie, which it was later adapted into). The Talosians' illusion power is so great that there ought to be no way to tell if Pike really escaped their world. This possibility is never directly raised though, and we're probably supposed to just assume it didn't happen so that the series could go on.
- Angel: In order to defeat The Beast Angel decides that he must release his evil self, Angelus. He contacts a shaman friend of his to cast the spell releasing Angelus; but at the last minute he calls it off, then figures out how to defeat the Beast and beds Cordilia. This gives him a moment of "perfect happiness," which releases Angelus. It turns out that the story from the moment he stopped the ritual is actually all in his head, and it was this which releases Angelus as planned.
- Red Dwarf VIII, where the Dwarfers only think they're escaping captivity - they are hooked up to a mind-monitoring device.
- Fall from Heaven: In the setting for the game, one of the "hell" areas is meant to do this.
- Marauder Shields: What was supposed to happen to Commander Shepard before Marauder's Heel-Face Turn.
- Here's an example of a Koan: "If you think you're free, there's no escape possible."

May 1, 2009 Supreme Court Justice David Souter has told President Obama he intends to retire at the end of the current term, which will come next month. Souter has been on the bench for 19 years and become a mainstay of the court's liberal wing. That was not what President George H. W. Bush expected when he appointed him in 1990.

Ranking the suitors for Lee
Posted on: July 8, 2010 1:14 pm
Edited on: July 8, 2010 2:23 pm
Is your team in on the Cliff Lee sweepstakes?
Chances are -- unless you're a Pirates or Orioles fan, the answer is yes.
An anonymous source tells Newsday's Ken Davidoff that "pretty much every team within five games of the playoffs" has called the Mariners about Lee.
So, if you're counting, that's 17 teams, nine National League squads and eight American League clubs.
Besides the whole 15 games under .500 thing, Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik must feel like the prettiest girl in school.
This is far from a final list, and I could be completely wrong -- but here's a listing of the possibilities in some semblance of an order. Feel free to offer your own favorites.
1. Twins -- still a good possibility, they've got the desire, the prospects (Wilson Ramos, Aaron Hicks) and with a new ballpark, they also have an influx of cash and urgency to do something special. With Lee, we could have some postseason snow-outs.
2. Mets -- the other New York team is always out there trying too hard -- like your one friend who gets a little too dressed up and has that extra spray (or four) of cologne when you go out. Sadly, he always seems to strike out.
3. Reds -- never underestimate the desire of an owner to make a splash. Bob Castellini is an emotional owner and believes firmly in his town's desire to see a winner and ultimately support it. If the Mariners want corner prospects, the Reds could dangle Yonder Alonso and Juan Francisco -- blocked by Joey Votto and Scott Rolen's three-year extension, respectively. There's also Todd Frazier, who can play about anywhere, and pitchers Matt Maloney and Travis Wood, who could be added to the rotation right away.
4. Rangers -- they're not as long of a long shot as you might think. Lee's not about money. It's about prospects, and Justin Smoak is a prospect that would fit perfectly. Roy Oswalt would be costly; Lee is only $4 million for the rest of the season. If money's still an issue, they could sweeten the pot with another prospect. MLB -- the organization -- has a vested interest in the Rangers and they'd likely loan the Rangers the money to make it work. A Rangers team in the playoffs is more valuable to a bidder than one that breaks down in August.
5. Yankees -- the team could go get him, but why rent him now and give up prospects when you've still got a good shot at winning and will just buy him in the offseason, anyway. That way you keep the prospects. But with the Yankees, you've always got to have them in the discussion. They're a courtesy top five, due to the fact they're the Yankees.
6. Rays -- pitching depth isn't a problem in this system, but they have a potential impact bat in B.J. Upton, and a serviceable catcher in Dioner Navarro. A Lee-David Price front of the rotation could be lights-out in a short series.
7. Phillies -- yeah, the Phillies could add the former Phillie, but it would likely cost them Domonic Brown -- who GM Ruben Amaro Jr. wouldn't give up for Roy Halladay. The desire is there, but the prospects may not be.
8. White Sox -- the news on Jake Peavy makes them the highest-riser on the list, plus GM Kenny Williams loves to make a splash, and this would certainly qualify.
9. Cardinals -- despite needs to fill out their rotation, the Cardinals are reportedly looking for bats more than arms. Still, it's tempting to think of a playoff rotation of Lee, Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright -- that would make them a favorite based on "the great" Albert Pujols' offense alone.
10. Tigers -- Detroit could use him, that's for sure. GM Dave Dombrowski has never shied away from a big deal, but it's unclear whether Detroit has the juice in either prospects or cash to get it done.
11. Red Sox -- a lot of needs with all their injures, Lee would be a luxury -- not that they haven't indulged in those in the past.
12. Braves -- Atlanta could certainly use Lee -- who couldn't? -- but they don't seem like a fit in either needs or assets. The Braves, more likely will be crossing their fingers that Lee doesn't land in the NL East, which is still up for grabs.
13. Rockies -- they are more likely to fine-tune than to do anything big. GM Dan O'Dowd has prized prospects and is unlikely to mortgage the future for a rent-a-player.
14. Padres -- sure, they're broke and they're pitching well, but there is some reason here. 1. Owner Jeff Moorad has said he'll deal for an arm if he can, and 2. most of the Padres arms are young arms. Mat Latos, Wade LeBlanc and Clayton Richard may not only tire down the stretch, Latos, at least, is on an innings count of 150 to 180 and he's already an out away from 100 innings on the season.
15. Giants -- looking for bats, not arms.
16. Angels -- ditto.
17. Dodgers -- Jamie McCourt is unlikely to give any of her alimony to help Frank out.
-- C. Trent Rosecrans

I am a Braves fan, and I really hope that Lee goes to the AL. If he l ands with the Phillies or Mets, it will make the walk to the Series very tough. All agree that Philly really made a mistake in dealing him . With Lee and Doc as a 1-2 punch, it would be the best in baseball, but hindsight is 20-20. Never believe that the Yankees or RedSox are not considering acquiring Lee. The Red Sox has a much deeper farm system than the Yankees, and could really use him, their starting pitching is average at best. We will know in a few weeks, he is definitely gone.

I have been listening to sports talk radio all day in Detroit and am convinced the Tigers will
make a strong run at getting Cliff Lee..The Tigers would have to include Rick Porcello SP, Jacob Turner SP,
and Alex Avila in a package to entice the Mariners...The key here is Turner,a hard throwing youngster drafted
by the Tigers who has terrific stuff....With Avila being young and improving his BA this year slowly and having
a adequate arm for a cathcher..Porcello has a bright future as a starter also...The deal would hinge on Lee willing
to accept a contract extension with Detroit.The Tigers would have the money to sign him to a long term deal since the contracts
of Ordonez,Willis and Bonderman will be off the books,I believe they are also still paying Sheffield some money....
With the money freed up by these contracts Detroit could afford Cliff Lee..........
A starting staff of Verlander,Lee,Sherzer,Bonderman and Gallaraga would give oppents fits the rest of this seson !!!
Go for it Dombrowski!!!!!

Johan Santana for Carlos Gomez. Carlos Gomez for JJ Hardy. Sounds to me like the Twins got a better trade out of the deal. JJ Hardy is playing good ball, before and after his injury. Santana, well, he hasn't done much for the Mets since the trade.

Ranking the suitors for Lee
The real losers of this sweepstakes are the Phillies. First they pass on pitching Cliff Lee in Game 4 of the '09 Series, which in my mind cost them the championship. Then they pass on pairing up Cliff Lee & Roy Halladay, which would have given the Phillies the best 1-2 punch in baseball. Now they have to sit back and watch another contender pick him up.
I say the Reds would be the best suitors for Lee, but the Rangers would be another interesting place for him to land. Either way the Mariners will probably get back better than they gave away for Lee in the first place so its a wash for them.
In the end though the Yankees will make a hard push to get him this offseason. After watching Game 1 of the '09 series, I think he immediately jumped to the top of their must have list, but Lee might be signed to a deal before the Yankees get their hands on him so its def not a lock.
Odds Lee will end up with the Yankees this Summer = 10%
Odds Lee will end up with the Yankees this Winter = 90%
Odds the Phillies regret giving up Lee = 100 %

Everyone in the world knew that the Phillies screwed up trading him. Except Ruben Amaro who panicked and didn't check the market on Lee. They simply thought "We can get Halladay! Ok...We can't keep Lee, right? That's too good, right?"
So Amaro traded him for 10 cents on the dollar.
Tragic for Philly fans. Will go down as one of the all time blunders by any GM in Philly Sports history.
Amaro says he did it to stockpile the farm system. Problem is - they got 3 dingleberry's back for Lee from Seattle. All three prospects they got for Lee are terrible.
Anyway. The final point - is the even with Cliff Lee - we still are putting Wilson Valdez and Gregg Dobbs out there every night and not hitting for a darn.

I had to stop reading this article right after his excerpt about the Mets. I was honestly looking forward to reading it, but what he said about "the other New York team" is so ridiculously stereotypical and inaccurate in this context. How's that Johan Santana trade looking now? He might be reaching the hump in his career where the rest is downhill (even though he just threw a complete game shutout and hit his first career homer), but he already gave the Mets enough to cover for the chips we gave up (aka nobody).

my clown fish is gasping for air at the top of the tank and it looks like its losing its colour is there anything wrong and is there anything i can do to cure the problem?
Gasping for air at the water surface is often the sign of burned gills. Fish respiration and digestion, over feeding and decaying organic matter all produce ammonia that burns a fish's gills. The same kind of stress can make fish lose their colors and appetites.
To start solving the problem, remove and replace about 30 percent of the water today, then 20 percent several days in a row. Also feed no more than the fish eat in a couple of minutes. As you syphon out water, use the pickup end of the syphon tube to remove any debris from the surface of the substrate. Treat the refill water with a good tap water conditioner, and try to get the temperature close to that of the aquarium water.
The partial water changes will dilute the ammonia and other toxins and thus help the fish recover. In a well balanced aquarium, a working nitrogen cycle plus weekly partial water changes provide a healthy environment for the fish.
If you're not familiar with the nitrogen cycle, it's basically three types of beneficial bacteria that digest and convert toxins into harmless substances. A working nitrogen cycle is vital to fish health. Without it, the fish's immune systems will be weakened, making them vulnerable to diseases and parasites. If you want to read more about the nitrogen cycle, please click the following link:
http://www.myaquariumclub.com/the-nitrogen-cycle-for- beginners-358.html
Thanks for visiting our website. You're welcome to browse some of the posts and blogs, ask more questions and join the forum if you like. It's free, and we're not selling anything.
Gasping is due to high nitrate level in water or improper oxygenation which may be due to overstocking. Losing color may be due to stress or poor water quality
Do you have test kits ?
have you cycled the tank ?
What's the size of the tank and how many fishes are there?
The Tank is 300litres, ive cycled the tank, ive got test kits that show nitrites are zero, ive only got three fish two clowns one yellow tang and a red fire shrimp. Ive got one mushroom, and a hawaiian featherd worm, ive just gave the tank a ten percent water change which has caused the clown to gasp and lose its colour. so it is puzzeling me what could be wrong. the tank is about 6 months old. any suggestions?
Thanks for your reply, Ive just changed ten percent of the water and show no nitrites, ive only got three fish as tank is only six months old, the symptoms have just came after the water change. the water shows to be the right Ph and salt content is 1025. I was told to take out the carbon bags out my filter but havent done that yet as i dont know what to replace it with. Any suggestions?
What is the water source of your tank? Did you test for nitrates or ammonia in the source water ? Did you use any water conditioner ?
The water is from Aquatic rooms in Edinburgh They told me that it was ok as the make it up themselfs, ive been told to take the carbon bags out my filter but not done that yet as i dont know what to replace it with. Ive not used any water conditioners.
Test the water source once
im getting more on tuesday as shop is closed on monday will check it out. thanks for help.
I'm not really expert enough to help diagnose, but I did a few searches anyway, and while i hope the following is NOT the case, the symptoms listed were found during my search anyway :- (so don't panic at my replies, i like to be wrong)
Could this be Brooklynella disease? It seems to be reported in clownfish does it not?
http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/ichparasiticdiseases/ a/aabrooklynella.htm
I would welcome other forum members to add more input, as I don't have marine fish, but after some searches of the symptoms you described, this is something other than water quality that is worth investigating anyway.
That link does say there is another disease which is very similar called 'Oodinium' http://saltaquarium.about.com/od/ichparasiticdiseases/ a/aaich_oodinium.htm which I really hope is not the case, in fact I hope its neither of the above and is something more easier to deal with.
The wee fish died the day.
sorry for the loss of your fish. sad times.
Sorry to hear it
I'm having the same issue but its only with a couple of my fish. 1-2 out of the 20 or so in my 55 gallon tank. I do a 1/2 water change every 3 weeks and treat the water as well. All the other fish are fine. I have a great filter and a huge bubbler. Whenever i bring my water in for testing, they say everything is good......
The large partial water changes tend to produce sudden changes in water parameters, and that stresses the fish. A safer alternative is 25 percent every week or two depending on the biological load.
Gasping for air at the water surface is a sign of stress or illness, which could be the result of water quality issues or the sudden changes in water parameters. When the pet shop tests the water, try to get actual numbers and not just OK. Ammonia and nitrite should be zero, and nitrite should be below 40 ppm.
How's your filteration, are they getting enough air? How about an air stone or air curtain. Sounds like they're not getting sufficient airflow.

Four home burglary suspects are on the run and cops in King County are asking for the public's help catching them.
About 1:30 p.m. March 22, a Renton man returned home to find three armed men burglarizing his home. He was threatened at gunpoint and had a large amount of East Indian jewelry stolen, Det. Tory Mangione said in a statement.
Surveillance video showed that the suspects used a black GMC Denali and a silver Nissan Altima.
"Witnesses agree that the Denali bore out of state plates – possibly Idaho or Oregon," Mangione said. The driver of the Nissan was not seen. The driver of the Denali was described as a white or Hispanic female with long, dark hair, 25 to 30 years old.
A few hours later, a Bellevue mom and her 9-year-old son arrived home to find three suspects walking out of her home with bags of stolen property. Shortly before arriving, Mangione said she passed a black GMC Denali driven by a white woman.
Police say the suspects are similar in both cases and all spoke Spanish.
"Due to the out of state license plate, the unique description of the suspects, and a lack of previous contact with this group or similar groups in the Seattle area, we believe that this may be a traveling group of thieves," Mangione said. "It is likely they stayed at a hotel or motel in the greater Seattle area."
Anyone with information is asked to call Bellevue police at (425) 577-5656 or the King County Sheriff's Office at (206) 296-3311.

Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford
If you are drawn to pipe tobacco, want to smell it all day, but don't want to smoke? If yes, then this is amazing. It reminds me of Yukon Gold pipe tobacco (vanilla flavored.) Super sexy scent that everyone I know that has experienced has loved.

First walk for suicide prevention to be held
Mental health is important at every stage of life. It affects how we think, feel and act through our emotional, psychological and social well-being, according to mentalhealth.gov. Illnesses can include anxiety, mood and personality disorders, as well as suicidal behavior.
In less than a month, the College at Brockport will host its first "Out of the Darkness Walk" conducted by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). The walk will be held Saturday, April 12, and will raise awareness of mental health and funds specifically for suicide prevention, research and educational programs.
"Suicidal behavior is complex," the National Institute of Mental Health's website states. "Some risk factors vary with age, gender, or ethnic group and may occur in combination or change over time."
What's more is that suicide is a preventable public health problem, which is why foundations like AFSP exist and many individuals are crusaders for the cause.
Event coordinator and counselor education student, Cassandra Fleck, first approached AFSP about bringing a walk to campus last year.
Fleck has also received support from Prevention and Outreach Services as a sponsor for the event. Kayla Cercone and Teresa Campbell will serve as co-chairs at the event.
Her main goal for this event is to start a conversation.
"Too often people do not want to talk about mental health and suicide," she wrote. "This creates a climate where people do not seek help. I would like to work toward creating a climate where we are able to talk about the tough topics and people feel they are able to reach out for help when facing difficult times. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young adults, so it is extremely important for college campuses to have such a climate."
Fleck added that she believes the Brockport campus does a wonderful job supporting this type of atmosphere, but given the prevailing issue, she hopes the walk will further that.
In addition to starting a conversation and creating a supportive culture, there are several activities planned accompanying the walk, providing both education and entertainment. There will be speakers, accapella, music and a raffle with donations from Origami Owl, Tanning Bed, Wegmans and many more. Additionally, "A Tree of Hope" and "A Tree of Remembrance" will be constructed. Participants will be able to write a message of hope or create something in memory of someone they have lost to suicide to hang on the constructed trees.
"Before the walk we are encouraging people to fundraise for the cause," Fleck wrote. "There is a fundraising goal of $5,000 but we would love to far exceed that goal and have no doubt that as a college we will!"
Simply reaching out to family and friends to donate or posting a link to your registration page on social media sites can go a long way. Although fundraising is not a requirement, all money raised will benefit the AFSP, where funds will be applied to research, advocacy and community programming.
Anyone is welcome to attend, and those interested are encouraged to register for the walk ahead of time at afsp.org. April 12 participants will meet at the Union Mall where walk-up registration will begin at 11 a.m. and the actual walk will begin at noon. Registration is free, whether you sign up prospectively or at the event. The course length is two miles around the Brockport campus.
Personally attached to this cause, Fleck has witnessed first-hand, how the stigmatization and fear of suicide can impact everyone involved.
"The majority of people are impacted by suicide at some point in their lives, so everyone has some connection with the cause," she wrote.
Start the conversation by creating a team, inviting friends and peers and walking together April 12.

ATLANTA | Bobby Cox's review of the game looked good for his Atlanta Braves.
"We threw eight shutout innings. We outhit them. We doubled them in hits. Our bullpen was great," Cox said.
Trouble is, the Washington Nationals won and not the Braves.
Light-hitting Justin Maxwell's grand slam off rookie Mike Minor in the second inning powered the last-place Nationals over Atlanta 4-2 Wednesday and sent the Braves to only their second home series loss this season.
Atlanta outhit the Nationals 10-5 but stranded seven runners.
"They had one major opportunity they took advantage of," said Atlanta's Matt Diaz, who had three hits, including two doubles. "We had quite a few opportunities, and we didn't take advantage of many of them at all. It's really frustrating when we're not able to do that."
John Lannan (8-7) gave up two runs, eight hits and three walks in six innings for the Nationals, who have won eight of 15 meetings with the Braves this season. Joel Peralta, Sean Burnett and Drew Storen combined for two-hit relief, with Storen pitching a 1-2-3 ninth for his fourth save in five chances.
Atlanta, which began the day two games back of NL East-leading Philadelphia, lost two of three to Washington, only the second series in 24 at Turner Field this year the Braves lost (19-2-3). Atlanta split four games against St. Louis during a 3-4 homestand but still has the major leagues' best home record at 52-23.
Maxwell was hitting only .132 (10 for 76) with six RBIs before his drive off Mike Minor (3-1) stayed inside the left-field foul pole and went about 10 rows deep. It was just the third homer of the season for Maxwell and ninth of his big league career — but he has three slams in four career at-bats with the bases loaded.
"You're just trying to make the most of every situation," Maxwell said. "I always have a special incentive when I have a chance to hit. I just try to do something with it."
Maxwell said he wasn't thinking of his success in bases-loaded situations.
"I was just trying to put the ball in play," he said.
Washington manager Jim Riggleman termed the 27-year-old "a work in progress."
"I think he knows he can hit," Riggleman said. "He has a few grand slams. He's not afraid of the situation."
Making his seventh major league start following his Aug. 7 promotion from Triple-A Gwinnett, Minor said Maxwell hit a fastball. Minor noticed a drop in velocity on his fastball to 90 mph in recent starts, down about 2 to 3 mph from where it should be early in games.

Ryan Ludwick left the Reds to see if there was a better deal available on the free agent market. He found at least one, but turned it down to stay with Cincinnati. The left fielder signed a two-year, $15 million deal on Monday that includes a mutual option for the 2015 season. He agreed to the contract over the weekend and came for the formal announcement. The 34-year-old outfielder batted .275 with 26 homers and 80 RBI in 125 games last season, when he started 107 times in left field. After first baseman Joey Votto got hurt at midseason, Ludwick emerged as one of the team's most consistent run producers, helping the Reds win the NL Central for the second time in three years. ''I've always wanted to prove that one All-Star year wasn't a fluke and I can be an All-Star again,'' said Ludwick, an All-Star with St. Louis in 2008. ''The ultimate goal would be to win a World Series. That's one of the reasons I came back here. I think we have guys in place one through nine (in the battin...
