The 2000 IUCN Red List Assessment classed this species as Near Threatened. The current assessment lowers the classification to Least Concern due to new information, including a comprehensive study of age, growth and reproduction. The revised assessment is also based on a 25-year time series of catch and effort data from the Southern Shark Fishery and 12 years of monitoring data from an onboard observer program on trawlers.
Pristiophorus cirratus is a moderately abundant endemic species on the continental shelf and, to a lesser extent, the continental slope of southern Australia. The species is harvested over its entire range, but most of the catch is taken from Bass Strait in gillnets of mesh-size ranging 6 to 6½ inches or from New South Wales and off eastern Victoria by the South East Trawl Fishery. Current exploitation rates are considered sustainable. Classification of this species is based mainly on six pieces of evidence:
(1) stable commercial catch rates for the combined catch of P. nudipinnis and P. cirratus during the past 20 years, following an earlier decline;
(2) fishery-independent survey indicates over the past 25-year period indicates the number of animals caught declined to 67%; the change is not statistically significant;
(3) fishing effort has been reducing and a combined Total Allowable Catch has been implemented for P. nudipinnis and P. cirratus;
(4) relatively high biological productivity; maximum age of 15 years with 6 to 19 offspring produced biennially;
(5) no contraction of range or fragmentation of the population, and;
(6) the three-mile closure of all Victorian waters to shark fishing provides a large refuge for the species.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|P. cirratus is endemic to the waters of southern Australia's outer continental shelf. Last and Stevens (1994) considered that the distribution was poorly defined, but most likely to be between Jurien Bay in Western Australia and Eden in New South Wales, including Tasmania. Compagno (1984) reported a possible occurrence in the Philippines. The recorded depth range is 40 to 310 m (Last and Stevens 1994). The highest concentrations are in Bass Strait (Walker et al. 2002).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Australia (New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria, Western Australia)
|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:
Indian Ocean – eastern; Pacific – southwest

|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
P. cirratus is a small, slightly dorso-ventrally compressed, shark with a long rostrum (snout), narrow and tapering with numerous lateral rostral teeth. Paired elongated barbels originate from the ventral side of the rostrum and the second dorsal fin is nearly as large as the first. The upper body is pale yellow to greyish brown with distinctive dark markings incorporating spots and wide bands. Detailed descriptions can be found in Compagno (1984a) and Last and Stevens (1994). Sawsharks can be distinguished from the morphologically similar sawfishes by lateral (as opposed to ventral) gill slits and the presence of barbels originating from the rostrum.
Maximum total length and maximum total body mass are higher for females (149 cm, 8.5 kg) than for males (132 cm, 3.5 kg). Ageing studies indicate that the species has a maximum life span of 15 years and hence has comparatively high productivity among chondrichthyans. The species exhibits aplacental viviparity and produces 6 to 19 offspring biennially, and the young are born at approximately 38 cm total length. Total length at which 50% of the females matured is 107 cm. The diet consists of mainly small teleosts and, to a lesser extent, crustaceans (T.I. Walker, unpublished data).
|Major Threat(s):
One threat to the population of P. cirratus is their capture as byproduct from targeting Mustelus antarcticus with gillnets of 6-6½-inch mesh-size off South Australia (Walker 1999), Victoria and Tasmania. During 1970-01 the catch of P. cirratus and Pristiophorus nudipinnis combined from the Southern Shark Fishery varied 43-301 tonnes (carcass weight), 7% of the total catch of all shark species (Walker et al. 2002).
Another threat is their capture as byproduct in the South East Trawl Fishery, which targets a range of quota teleost species with demersal trawl nets off New South Wales, eastern Victoria and eastern Tasmania. The sawshark catch from this sector was 106 tonnes during 2002.
In addition, small quantities of P. cirratus are taken by the Great Australia Bight Trawl Fishery. The catch from this sector was 28 tonnes during 2002.
Minor threats include gillnets in the shark fishery of Western Australia and fishing with long-lines and other methods.
In Bass Strait, observed catch rates from research vessels during 1973 to 1976 and from scientific observations on board commercial vessels during 1998-01 indicate that the number of animals per thousand km-hours in bottom-set gillnets of six-inch mesh-size declined from 381 to 292. This is a decline to 67% of former levels over a 25-year period. (Walker et al. in press). Catch per unit effort reported by commercial fishers over this same period declined from 15.32 to 7.71 kg per km-lift for P. nudipinnis and P. cirratus combined; i.e., a decline to 50% of former levels. The decline in the commercial catch rate for these species occurred during 1974 to 1982 and catch rates subsequently stabilized during 1983 to 2001. A steady decline in fishing effort since the mid 1980s and adoption of a Total Allowable Catch during 2002 for P. cirratus and P. nudipinnis jointly are expected to help secure the stocks of these species. There is negligible targeting of P. cirratus; most of the catch of these species is taken as byproduct to targeting Mustelus antarcticus.
|Conservation Actions:
|In the Australian Southern Shark Fishery, P. cirratus has been harvested as byproduct or bycatch to the targeting of Galeorhinus galeus and Mustelus antarcticus in oceanic waters since the mid-1920s and possibly earlier in inshore areas. Baited hooks attached to bottom-set longlines was the principal fishing method until the early 1970s when the method was replaced by bottom-set gillnets. Management measures in this fishery include limited entry for the use of gillnets and longlines (since 1984) and, for all fishing sectors, Total Allowable Catches (TAC) (for P. cirratus and P. nudipinnis combined) (since 2002). Input controls include limits on length of net (since 1988), various 4 to 6 week closed seasons to protect pregnant animals of Galeorhinus galeus during October to December (1953 to 1967 and 1993 to 1994), and a legal minimum mesh-size of six inches for gillnets (since 1975) for most of the fished area. During 2002, the TAC for P. cirratus and P. nudipinnis was 191 tonnes for the Southern Shark Fishery, 124 tonnes for the South East Trawl Fishery, and 31 tonnes for the Great Australia Bight Trawl Fishery. The three-mile closure of all Victorian waters to shark fishing provides a large refuge for the species.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Jun 01st, 1999
Running Time: 104
Director: Paul Thomas
Company: Vivid Entertainment Group
Cast: Bo, Corrine Williams, India (I), Azlea Antistia, Randy Spears, Peter Dawson, Alex Taylor, Inari Vachs, Johnni Black, Jack Hammer
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Film
Push this as an entertaining Alex Taylor documentary which is strong on storyline and average on sex.
Alex Taylor is aptly cast as the perennial beauty queen who deals with beauty contest politics. Using dozens of clips from an interview as a cornerstone, Alex chronicles her career from pageant princess to strip club dancer in a manner that tells all about the industry. The usual jealousy and ambitious shenanigans prevail as a strong rivalry with Corrine Williams gets out of hand, resulting in Williams, at times, nearly stealing the spotlight from Taylor.
There's action in just about every scene. Taylor indulges in a hot girl/girl with Johnni Black, riding on the receiving end of some anal dildo play. Inari Vachs, Taylor St. Claire, and the rest all fit in quite well with the beauty competition theme.
Randy Spears plays straight man, the emcee and owner of a series of pageants and a beauty school. He has a dark side, though, as he videotapes his unsuspecting contestants in the dressing room and revels in what girls will do to win. Spears also demonstrates his love of anal sex in action and thought.

It's prom season. Thousands of high school kids have been waiting years for their big night. Thousands of parents have been dreading it since their kids entered school. As the father of a 16-year old, 11th-grade daughter, who just fed 43 of her tuxedo-clad and chiffon-and-satin laced friends in our backyard, I speak from a unique perspective on this matter. I've got prom street cred.
Not only am I qualified in the father-of-a-prom-going-daughter category, but I have also been feeding promsters for 27 years at the Purple Parrot Café. Years ago, my servers occasionally complained about having to take care of a prom table – promsters tend to be a little unruly and often never order food straight from the menu, looking for cheaper more kid-friendly alternatives. It never bothered me. I love serving high school prom kids.
We opened in 1987, but missed the prom season that year. So if you were 18 and attended a prom in 1988, you are 44 today. That might be the median age of our current clientele. To me, proms have always been a way to earn future business. All of my employees agree these days.
The 21st century prom is an entirely different animal from the proms of my youth. The Junior-Senior High School Prom of today is a complicated, elaborate, and expensive affair.
First let's have a recap of the previous weekend's activities.
Throughout the week, the months of planning by parents began to come to fruition. Notice how I used the word "parents" in the previous sentence? That was fully intentional. It's the parents that do most of the work these days. I speak from a unique perspective on this one, too, as my wife was the junior class coordinator for my daughter's event, or as I have been calling her, "Prom Mom."
A month out, a mad dash to reserve a "party bus" for the prom ensues. I am told that the parents of the boys handle this duty, which means I am in the clear until four years from now when my son will be a junior. The party bus that showed up at my house had colored disco lights, televisions, enough seating for 44 people, and a sound system so loud that the police were called to my neighborhood to see what was going on.
It costs thousands of dollars and – as best as I can tell – drives the kids around for a while before dropping them off at the dance, and then later drives them back to where their cars are all centrally located. A decade ago limos were the rage. In my day, I drove my mother's Buick to pick up my date.
After boarding the party bus, riding around for a while and taking photos with their phones, the kids show up at the prom to meet other groups of kids who have been eating meals served by parents while taking photos on their phones. They walk into a grand venue that was beautifully decorated by – you guessed it – the parents.
The theme of this prom was Gatsby. Though this was not Fitzgerald's Gatsby – this was Baz Lurhmann's Gatsby. The theme was carried out to every minor detail, from the food and beverages served to the party favors given. Lighting, backdrops, table toppers – all to the last detail it was Jay Gatsby's party brilliantly pulled off on Nick Carraway's budget.
In my day I don't even think we had a theme. I know we didn't have a decorating committee, and if we would have, it probably would a been a few kids in the math club, certainly not a group of parents. The theme and décor of my prom was however the Hattiesburg Country Club was decorated at the time. We had the same theme the next year, unless they redecorated the country club over the course of that year, in which the theme would then be – whatever the newly decorated country club looked like.
The kids danced and took more photos on their phones. Once the dance was over, the party bus departed for a breakfast party where the kids would don a new change of clothes, eat another meal prepared by parents and take more photos on their phones.
The prom is over until next year. My wife, who has been MIA for a few weeks, is back and already talking about next year's prom. "Yes, honey, but aren't next year's parents supposed to take care of all of this?"
"Well, we'll probably host the dinner," she said. Pray for me, please.

Scott Porter: What do you feel are your biggest strengths?
Alexander Robinson: I would say my biggest strengths are my vision and my patience. I have great vision and patience which allows me to find openings. I hit the hole very quickly and my ability to catch the ball out of the backfield is a big strength of mine.
Scott Porter: What is the hardest part about playing the running back position in your opinion?
Alexander Robinson: The hardest part about playing my position is learning how to effectively pass protect. It takes a lot of hard work coming from High School to the college level and learning how to pass block. I feel like I progressed well. The pounding you take as a back can be hard on your body.
Scott Porter: What are your goals for the NFL?
Alexander Robinson: First and foremost make a team. I want to contribute in whatever way I am called upon on the team that gives me my chance.
Scott Porter: Is there a RB you model your game after or that reminds you of yourself?
Alexander Robinson: I try not to model my game off of anyone inparticular. One running back in the NFL that reminds me of myself is Clinton Portis. He is a complete back, he can run, block and catch the ball out of the backfield. I watch a lot of Clinton Portis because he reminds me a lot of myself.
Scott Porter: What type of person is an NFL team getting in Alexander Robinson?
Alexander Robinson: That is a good question. They are getting a very committed individual. I am going to give it my all. I am a good guy, I am very respectful of others. I am respectful outside of football and a good person. I am always going to be committed to whatever I do and give 100% all the time.
Scott Porter: What do you feel will be the toughest transition from the college level to the NFL level?
Alexander Robinson: That is another good question. I think the speed of the game. The speed of the game from High School to college changed a lot, so I know the speed from college to the NFL will be a big transition. Getting down the basic technique in the NFL because I know it is an entire different game. I need to match the technique of the NFL style. I need to do it all at game speed because it's a much faster gamer at the next level.
Scott Porter: What hobbies do you have off the field?
Alexander Robinson: I play a lot of video games. I like to read. I like to sleep. This summer I averaged about 10-12 hours of sleep a day.
Scott Porter: What do you feel are your biggest accomplishments in football so far?
Alexander Robinson: I would have to go with my only bowl victory. We played Minnesota in 2009. After all we were through that season as a team that was a huge victory for us. It was huge for me because we did it against my home team. I am from Minnesota. It was my only bowl during my fours years at Iowa State so it meant a lot.
Scott Porter: Who has been your biggest influence?
Alexander Robinson: Away from the field my teammates and my brother. My teammates have been a family to me. They have made things much easier for me. We always look out for each other and are always there for each other. My brother has been a major influence for me. I am very close to him. He was sent to Iraq twice during my career at Iowa State. He was sent my Red Shirt year and then my Junior season. He has been a big influence just sharing stories with each other, being able to talk to him and take what he says to me and use it. He gives me great advice on and off the field for me to use. My coaches well. There have been three different staffs while I was here and they have all helped me. My running backs coach Pope has been a huge factor for me. I wish I had more years to play for him. I enjoyed him so much.

Ascherl joins Bedlington Terriers
Gateshead's German-born midfielder Christoph Ascherl has signed for Northern League club Bedlington Terriers on a free transfer.
The 23 year old joined Gateshead in the summer having already played football in three different countries, but has found opportunities limited at the International Stadium.
His debut came in the ill fated abandoned game against Hayes & Yeading United in September when he was handed an unfamiliar central defensive role.
Ascherl was sent off in the second half for a professional foul and his only other appearance was in the following game at Chester City where Gateshead also finished with ten men.
"Ascherl goes to Bedlington with our best wishes for the future," said manager Ian Bogie "he was a credit to himself during his brief time at Gateshead."
"His attitude was excellent and there was no shortage of endeavour. Unfortunately he just came up short at Conference level but I am sure he will do a fine job at Bedlington."
Ascherl joins eight former Gateshead players at Welfare Park including Steve Bowey, David Southern and Gareth McAlindon.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Foster, Al (Aloysius)
Al Foster's ability to communicate almost telepathically with other improvisers has earned him a reputation amongst musicians as one of the post-bop generation's leading drummers. While he has rarely recorded as a leader, the understated sound of his tilted ride cymbals and dry, muffled drums has graced hundreds of sessions since the 1970s, including ones led by Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins and Joe Henderson. Foster may have great hands and feet, but his ears separate him from the rest.
Aloysius Foster was born on January 18, 1944 in Richmond, Virginia. When he was three or four years old, his family moved to a second-floor apartment on 140th Street and Amsterdam Avenue in New York City's West Harlem neighborhood. Constantly banging on pots and pans, the boy was given a rubber practice pad on which he could more quietly release his rhythmic energy at the age of four or five. On Christmas morning, 1953, the nine-year-old Foster received a Gretsch drum kit as his gift, and from that moment onwards he was off and drumming.
While Foster was initially influenced by the great big-band drummers, like Chick Webb and Jo Jones, it was Max Roach and Clifford Brown's 1955 version of "Cherokee" which sparked his imagination. According to Foster, Roach's playing revealed to him the potential for "making music on the drums, " by blurring the lines between traditional rhythmic support and melodic expression on the drum set. After absorbing more of Roach's work, the teenaged Foster began practicing for hours a day, developing his craft as a "music-making" drummer.
Foster made his recording debut on hard-bop trumpeter Blue Mitchell's 1964 album, The Thing to Do, alongside a very young Chick Corea on piano. The pair also played on Down with It!, Mitchell's follow-up recording in 1965, which featured the grooving "Hi-Heeled Sneakers."
While countless press articles suggest that Foster was either 16 or 19 at the time of The Thing to Do sessions, simple math reveals that at the time of his participation in the July 30, 1964 session, he was in fact 20 years old.
Most of Foster's early professional work was not captured in the studio, however. Instead, he enjoyed a long-standing gig at New York City's Playboy Club throughout the mid-to-late 1960s, performing with trombonist Kai Winding, bassist Earl May, pianist Larry Willis, and guitarist Al Gafa. Foster and May, along with a who's who of New York musicians, also performed regularly at the Cellar Door on 95th Street, which became key to the development of Foster's career.
A significant point sheds light on Foster's career choices in the 1960s. While many young, up-and-coming drummers would travel wherever the gig would take them, Foster, then in his twenties, sought to balance his work as a musician with his responsibilities as a single father. He therefore turned down invitations to tour with artists such as Cannonball Adderley, Horace Silver, and Wes Montgomery, in order to retain his steady work at the Playboy Club and Cellar Door in New York City.
Even though Foster was steadily based in New York, his reputation as a melodic improviser and careful listener grew rapidly enough to garner offers to play high-profile engagements with Sonny Rollins at the Village Vanguard and Thelonious Monk at the Village Gate in the late 1960s. In 1969, while performing at his regular gig at the Cellar Door, Miles Davis saw Foster perform, and later offered him the drum chair when Jack DeJohnette left his group in 1971. Davis was perhaps the only jazz musician who could have enticed Foster to leave New York: Foster called his mother to assist him in raising his daughters and accepted the trumpeter's invitation.
Even though Foster is a self-professed bebop enthusiast, his steady, swinging backbeat effortlessly lent itself to Davis's rock-leaning fusion recordings from this time period.
The drummer debuted with Davis on the 1972 album Get Up With It, the studio follow-up to Bitches Brew, and can be heard on all of Davis's recordings throughout the 1970s. Some of these recordings include: Big Fun (1972), On the Corner (1972), Dark Magus (1974), Agharta (1975), and Pangaea (1975). On the Corner's " "Black Satin" features Foster's densely layered percussion work in concert with Billy Hart, Don Alias, Jack DeJohnette, and Badal Roy.
When Davis retirement from music – temporarily, as it turned out – in 1975, Foster was one of the few musicians with whom the trumpeter remained in regular contact over the next five years. Foster has claimed that Davis called him "a million times a day, every day." The two became and remained close friends, with Davis quietly yet consistently supporting Foster and his family financially – whether or not the drummer was with him on the road.
Foster remained Davis's drummer of choice when the trumpeter returned to the scene in 1981. Highlights from Foster's recordings with the post-hiatus Davis include "Jean Pierre" from the 1981 album We Want Miles and "One Phone Call/Street Scenes" from the 1985 album You're Under Arrest. After fourteen years by Davis's side, Foster left his group in 1985, but the two remained close friends until Davis's death.
Foster occasionally recorded as a freelancer during his tenure with Davis, especially during Miles's retirement. Some of his notable recordings throughout the 1970s and early 1980s include: Horace Silver's Silver n' Brass (1975), Dexter Gordon's Biting the Apple (1976), Yusef Lateef's The Doctor is In and Out (1976), Red Garland's Feelin' Red (1978), Dave Liebman's Pendulum (1978), Art Pepper's New York Album and So In Love (1979), Sonny Rollins's Don't Ask (1979), McCoy Tyner's 4 X 4 (1980), Sonny Rollins's Love at First Sight (1980), Hank Jones's The Great Jazz Trio Live at the Village Vanguard (1980), and Freddie Hubbard's Outpost (1981).
After Foster's break from Miles's group in1985, he quickly joined forces with Joe Henderson and can be heard on a series of classic jazz recordings led by the tenor saxophonist through 1992. In 1985, Henderson, Foster and bassist Ron Carter released a series of live dates recorded at New York's Village Vanguard, entitled State of the Tenor: Live at the Vanguard Volumes 1 and 2. Highlights from these piano-less sessions include "Boo Boo's Birthday" and "Isotope."
In 1987, Charlie Haden replaced Ron Carter on another live date featuring Henderson and Foster, which was released as An Evening with Joe Henderson. In the early 1990s, Foster joined Henderson for three more recordings, which include 1992's So Near, So Far, a tribute to Miles Davis that many critics list as among the finest jazz releases of that decade.
Aside from his recordings with Joe Henderson, Foster's other high-profile, extended collaboration later in his career was with pianist Herbie Hancock. Even though Foster rarely recorded with Hancock, he and bassist Buster Williams performed frequently with the famed pianist throughout the early to mid-1990s.
Aside from work with Henderson and Hancock, Foster's freelance discography since 1980 is impressive for its sheer number of high quality jazz recordings. Throughout the late 1980s and 1990s, Foster recorded with Bobby Hutcherson, Tommy Flanagan, Steve Kuhn, Roy Hargrove, Donald Byrd, Dave Kikoski, Larry Willis, Mike Stern, Chris Potter, and Joe Lovano, among many others.
In 1999, Foster joined John Scofield, Joe Lovano, and Dave Holland in Scolohofo, a group coled by all four members that originally formed to perform at the 1999 Montreal Jazz Festival. The group then reunited and released a studio date, Oh!, in 2002. Holland's "The Winding Way" and Lovano's "The Dawn of Time" are two highlights by this genuinely inspired group.
In recent years, Foster has assembled and led his own group, The Al Foster Quartet, with Doug Weiss on bass, pianist Kevin Hayes and saxophonist Eli Degibri. The group has performed for over a decade but just recently released their first record, Love, Peace and Jazz! Live at the Village Vanguard, in 2008. Foster has led only one other session throughout his entire career: 1997, he released Brandyn, which featured saxophonist Chris Potter, pianist Dave Kikoski, and bassist Doug Weiss.
Miles Davis once summed up his view of Foster's versatile talents in the following way.
"[Foster] knocked me out because he had such a groove and he would just lay it right in there. That was the kind of thing I was looking for. Al could set it up for everybody else to play off and just keep the groove going forever."
Al Foster may not have played as many notes as his hyperkinetic contemporaries, but his impeccable time and groove, interactive skills, and highly dramatic, melodic drum solos set him apart from his peers. Foster's name is often absent from critical discussions of jazz's greatest drummers, perhaps due to a generational shift or his participation in some of Miles Davis's most controversial music. Nonetheless, he remains a musician's favorite, and in part because of the enduring appreciation of his peers, he is finally starting to receive some of the critical recognition that he deserves.

Marine Stereos
You have a lot of choices in todays marine stereo equipment. While some still choose to listen to their music from cds others prefer to store their music on iPods, iPhones, mp3 players and flash drives. Which ever you prefer there is a marine stereo for you. Most also have the ability to add Sirius and XM satellite radio.
Jensen and JBL have introduced the black box type of stereo which is a 2 piece marine stereo consisting of the tuner or black box which is installed somewhere where it is protected from the elements and a waterproof controller that can be mounted anywhere.
Aquatic AV, Fusion and Poly-Planar have gone a different direction with the internal dock for storing your iPod or iPhone. These stereos do not have a cd player but instead have a storage area for your iPod or iPhone behind the face where your device is protected and charged. All of your music and playlists are accessed through the controls of the stereo.
Most of todays marine stereos have the capability of adding multiple wired and wireless remote controls so you can control the music from anywhere in the boat or even while hanging out in the water by the boat.

How to Make a Poster of the Solar System
Want to make a poster and your adults or caregivers cannot help you? Try these steps.
1Get glue and scissors.
2Get some cardstock.
3Cut the cardstock into thin planet shapes. Make one for every planet in the solar system.
To the right is a montage of planetary images taken by spacecraft managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. Mercury, Venus, Earth (and Moon), Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune respectively. The inner planets are to scale with each other & the outer planets are to scale with each other.
- You may want to include the dwarf planets Pluto, Ceres and Eris
4Dry stick the planets on the cardboard.
5Allow the poster to dry.
6Research facts on all the different planets.
- Size (in earth masses)
- Distance from the Sun
- Climate
- Number of satellites (moons)
- Where its name came from
- Any other interesting facts
7Write the facts on your poster. You can either write the name of the planet on your planet shape and have the information next to it, or write the information on the planet if you have enough room.
8Research other features in our solar system (such as the asteroid belt, comets and the Sun) and fill in all the empty space you have on your poster.
9Print some images from the internet if you can and stick them on.
10Write your name on it somewhere and hand it in or stick it on your wall.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Use black card because it looks like space. Silver pens look great on black card too but use sparingly (e.g. for titles, subheadings and borders, not main text).
- Make your poster really interesting by having flaps for people to lift up or different textures (tin foil is good for a space theme).
- Fill up all the space - it's not like there isn't enough to say!
- Create rockets and shooting starts to stick on your poster.
Things You'll Need
- Glue stick
- Safety scissors
- cardstock
- Cardboard for background
- Old magazines or pictures of planets

A school video of principal Carmen Perez Dickson showed her dragging two kindergarten students by their legs. WSFB 3 reported Feb. 21 that the cruel incident took place at Bridgeport, Conn. at Jettie S Tisdale Elementary School in October.
Outrage by parents and the public is not only directed at the heinous act of the principal, but the fact that the Bridgeport Board of Education only suspended her for six months. Carmen Perez Dickson will be allowed to return to her job in March, but not at the same school.
Why was she not fired? Because one of the Board members said the video gave an incomplete picture of what led to the event. The child's behavior prior to the leg dragging was not revealed. Should that have mattered? Many parents do not think it does one bit.
"She will be heavily supervised and hopefully she won't be repeating the same behavior with students," said Sandra Kase, Bridgeport Public Schools chief administrative officer.
A political game is ruling the situation. Kase is apparently in charge of a district transition to a new superintendent. She said the "former superintendent recommended firing the Dickson, but the Bridgeport Board of Education voted differently."
"I hope the parents, whoever sees this (story), does not believe this kind of behavior is prevalent in our schools," Kase said.
Dickson was mandated to complete training sessions on how to deal with difficult students.
It is hard to believe someone like Carmen Perez Dickson will be allowed to keep her job within the school district. There should be no question that what she did was unacceptable, period.

Probably we have not seen a tagline that reads like the title of this article. 'Becoming a farmers is so cool, has a bright future, a promising profession and not less cool than other profession.' Before writing this short article, I was a moderator in the discussion held in Shankara Resto, Sanur. The theme of discussion was 'Strategy to Save Paddy Fields in Bali.'
The speakers were Dr. Luh Kartini, Chairperson of the Bali Organic Association who is all this time actively campaigning the method of farming and consuming organic ingredients and Phyllis Kaplan, an environmental activist from New York, United States, claiming to have lived in Bali for about five years. As an activist of Rice Field Foundation, Kaplan then compared the farming in Bali to a small-scale farming she encountered in Vermont, a small state in the U.S. with a rustic ambience. The condition was hardly much different. However, the government had prominent role in assisting and protecting the farmers so they were pursuing their life comfortably and quietly as farmers. "In short, it is cool to be a farmer," she said.
Well, the last expression or sentence made me get tingled. It's cool to be a farmer, really? Perhaps, it just happens in the U.S. or in other countries where farmers are still subsidized, and protection of the government to farmers is very high. However, in Indonesia, especially Bali, I did try to question about the comparison to Mrs. Kaplan, but I did not really focus on it. I remained to focus on the campaign tag:"Becoming a Farmer Is So Cool."
At this rate, we seem in two worlds. Firstly, it is in the world of dream and secondly in the real world. It is said a dream because, in fact, becoming a farmer in this country is really uncomfortable. Many factors cause it, ranging from the expensive fertilizer, expensive seed, pests, diseases and the dropped post-harvest price. A lot of burdens make our farmers remain a commoner. Even if there are successful farmers, they are only some few. How can it be cool if the condition is like this? Not to mention, the attitude of government is always looking for 'breakthrough' by taking import policy as short-term solution when it realizes the supply of agricultural products in the broad sense is not sufficient to meet the demand of the country. Yes, when the rice stock runs thin, it will be imported. Less meat supply and less soybean supply will be resolved by import policy. And so on.
Well, if we say that becoming a farmer is cool only happens in a dream. It's in the air and a daydream. Therefore, it is no wonder if this work is only deeply involved by those who are old or at least those who have no other choice. Meanwhile, younger generation will try their fortune in other fields. They can work as employee of hotel, restaurant, civil servant, working on a cruise ship or other more promising profession.

New Artist Alert — Charlie Worsham [VIDEOS]
At the station, we receive tons of new music each day. Some of the material is from up and coming stars and some is from people that are on the outside looking in. One of the better songs to come in is "Could It Be" by a guy named Charlie Worsham.Charlie Worsham did a little touring with Taylor Swift in 2011, and now he's ready to break out! The debut single "Could It Be" is worth a listen. I also added a funny little cover video that Worsham and his people created. You may be familiar with the song.

Surging ethanol blending will undermine wholesale gasoline prices in the Atlantic Basin, starting in 2012, according to ESAI's newly updated two-year outlook.
Surging ethanol blending will undermine
wholesale gasoline prices in the Atlantic Basin, starting in
2012, according to ESAIs newly updated two-year
outlook. The outlook says that ethanol will add supply to the
gasoline market, especially in the US. As this additional
volume meets organic demand growth, it will weaken gasoline and
widen the disparity between gasoline and diesel prices on both
sides of the Atlantic.
ESAI believes a new Atlantic Basin transport fuels market is
emerging. Along with more refining capacity, ethanol blending in the US will
increasingly expand domestic gasoline supply and reduce the
regions fuel import requirement. An import requirement
that was above 1 million b/d in 2008 will collapse to below
400,000 b/d by 2012. At that point, gasoline will decline
relative to diesel and stay that way. ESAI expects that New
York Harbor diesel spreads to WTI will average $9.00/barrel in
2012, whereas gasolines relationship to crude will
decline to $7.70/barrel.
While diesel-centered production will benefit,
gasoline-heavy producers will take a hit, notes
ESAI Principal Sander Cohan, Europe will have a substantial
gasoline surplus, but wont be able to send it to usual
markets. This will likely encourage refiners there
to trim back runs and reduce product output overall, making
that region even more reliant on imports from Russia and
elsewhere to meet demand.
The influence of biofuels in Atlantic Basin fuel
market dynamics is a relatively recent phenomenon, but is
expected to accelerate and deepen in the coming years across
the region. Consequently, refiners will come under continued
pressure to adapt to this new market dynamic, especially as
gasoline and diesel diverge.
All comments are subject to editorial review.
All fields are compulsory.
This matches what has been happening in Pakistan as well. In a market where the capability of the local refineries to produce gasoline exceeds demand, it does not make sense to introduce Ethanol. All refineries would be forced to reduce throughput, thereby reducung availability of Jet fuel, Diesel and Furnace Oil, all deficit products, thereby increasing imports and the consequent drain on the national exchequer. So far, the ethanol attempt is on a limited (pilot) level only: let us hope sense prevails and that it does not go beyond this!

College Hockey:Moore Sends Harvard Out a Winner
OT Goal Pushes Crimson Past Big Green
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — Call it the luck of the half-Irish.
At the 1:32 mark of overtime, Harvard center Dominic Moore took a pass from linemate Tom Pettit and netted his 15th goal of the season, giving the Crimson a 3-2 win Sunday afternoon in the ECAC consolation game before a sleepy gathering at 1980 Olympic Rink.
With the goal, Moore, who's half-Irish, handed the Big Green its first loss in nine trips to overtime — on St. Patrick's Day, no less.
"It's tough on St. Patrick's Day to play a team called the Big Green," said the sophomore Moore, who completes his season with a team-leading 43 points. "They played well and I thought Boucher played a fantastic game, but it was nice to be able to put one in there."
This game was a consolation, but Harvard coach Mark Mazzoleni didn't think the downsized significance of the affair was apparent on the ice.
Dartmouth, for one, was playing its third game in three days but battled back from two deficits to take the rival Crimson (16-15-2) to overtime. For the Big Green, it wasn't meant to be.
For Harvard, however, the season ends on a high note, as the Crimson finishes with an above-.500 record — and high hopes for the coming years.
"It's been a long two years so far," said Mazzoleni, in his second year with the Crimson. "Last year, we took our lumps, but we took a step up this year.
"We had three goals in mind and we reached every one of them. We wanted to get home ice, get here and finish with a winning record. And we did all those things."
After falling behind twice, the Big Green nearly won the game with six minutes to play when Pete Summerfelt banged the puck into an empty net after Harvard goalie Oliver Jonas had failed to cover up. Heartbeats earlier, referee Dan Murphy had whistled the play dead, negating the goal.
Either way, Dartmouth's three seniors — forwards Michael Byrne and Peter Mahler, and defenseman Dory Tisdale — were proud of what the Big Green achieved during their careers.
They entered the program along with head coach Bob Gaudet, and saw the team go from failing to make the playoffs their first two years to battling all the way to the ECAC semifinals as seniors.
"We've had a lot of bumps in the road over the course of my four years," said Mahler, who finishes his career with nine goals and 20 points in 94 games. "We didn't make the playoffs the first few years and then lost last year in the first round to RPI, but this year has been awesome.
"Coach Gaudet has done so much for the program. I can't say enough about what he's done. And it's just going to keep getting better."
It took Harvard nine minutes to take its first shot, but the Crimson owned the next five minutes thanks to three Dartmouth penalties.
Harvard opened the scoring at 9:06 of the period when rookie Dennis Packard deflected an Aaron Kim shot from the point past goaltender Nick Boucher (33 saves) for his third of the year. Packard's goal, also assisted by Tyler Kolarik, came on the power play.
Minutes later, the Big Green passed its biggest test of the opening 20 minutes — a Harvard 5-on-3 chance — and the period ended with Dartmouth holding an 12-11 shots advantage.
The teams traded goals in the middle frame, as the Big Green tied it before Harvard responded minutes later.
Dartmouth made it 1-1 at the 9:30 mark. Skating along the boards, Michael Byrne centered the puck to a waiting Jamie Herrington, who one-timed it past Jonas (32 saves) for his seventh of the year. Freshman Jason Costa also assisted the goal.
The deadlock was short-lived, however, as the Crimson took advantage of a turnover in the Dartmouth zone to reclaim its one-goal lead. Kolarik recorded the goal, punching his 13th of the season past Boucher after a pass from Packard.
Midway through the third stanza, the Big Green had a 5-on-3 power play, and promptly knotted the game at two when Summerfelt shot the puck from the blue line, and right winger Mike Murray tapped it in for his seventh goal of the year. Kent Gillings also earned a helper on the goal.
Dartmouth nearly took its first lead of the game minutes later when Summerfelt punched in an apparent goal, but Murphy's quick whistle set the stage for overtime.
The Big Green took one unsuccessful shot in the extra session before Moore fired in the game-winner, ending both teams' seasons.
"I'm very proud of the way our guys performed," Gaudet said. "I'm very proud of the statement they made for our program. We let people know that we mean business. We didn't do it this year, but I think you have to get here in order to be able to win it in the future. You have to experience it."

The story of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi?
Shaun White not winning a medal in the halfpipe? The disappointing showing by U.S. speedskaters? The figure skating? How about the U.S. Men's Hockey team defeating Russia in a shootout?
All of these were great stories for a day, but a bigger story is one that grabs one's attention before, during, and after the games.
So I guess then it would have to be Loudmouth Golf and their pants worn by the Norwegian men's curling team.
A golf company at the Winter Olympics?
I was able to talk with Larry Jackson, CEO of Loudmouth Golf a couple weeks before the Winter Olympics started and he was holding a copy of the New York Times an beaming. There was a shot of Norway's men's curling teams wearing the wild colors of Loudmouth on their pants, but the picture wasn't in color.
Jackson said they missed the boat by not having the image in color, but he noted it was in color on their website, so all was pretty good.
Pretty good indeed. Loudmouth is now more than just an upstart golf apparel company that makes wild shorts and pants. They are now an international brand that makes tested and high tech apparel and accessories for the world of golf and beyond. In fact a Facebook account set up just for the Norwegian Curling Team's pants have over 550,000 likes. The Official Loudmouth Golf Facebook page only has about 15,000 likes.
Loudmouth founder and chief designer, Scott "Woody" Woodworth says designs like you will see the Norwegian athletes wearing come from the simple things in life.
"I pay attention to things I see throughout the day," explains the effervescent Woodworth. "It could be grocery stores, or anything, sometimes there is a pattern inside a pattern."
Talking to Woodworth and Jackson for 30 minutes, you can tell they are apparel geniuses. They admit, that they have ideas coming from all angles, but how do they remember them?
"I don't remember to write stuff down," admitted Woodburn. "I've missed out on some ideas, but they will come back."
And come back they do. The team at Loudmouth pares designs down to a top-12 for different sections of the year, and they the real fun begins.
The naming.
Each Loudmouth pattern has a fun and unique name.
Jackson and Woodworth seem to almost put as much thought into the name of the design as they do into the selecting of the designs.
"In naming, you start with one word and then start adding to it," offered up a smiling Woodworth. "It's a puzzle, and it starts off with one word and ten steps later it turns into something we can use. We like words and word-smithing."
For example, a pattern with fall leaves went from leaves to fall foliage to fallen oats. When a typo entered the picture, it became "Fallen Oaks" and that name stuck.
"The color and design is crucial, but so is the name," adds Jackson, who sitting at a table with Woodworth during this interview, performed like a seasoned stand-up comedian.
I know you have one more question. Are the pants and shorts comfortable?
Yes sir. The 97% cotton is has remained the same over the years.
"We tweak the formula ever so slightly," said Jackson. "But when a guy puts on our clothes for the first time, their reaction is almost universal.
"Wow, these things are comfortable."
"We don't want to mess with the comfort formula," smiles Jackson.
If you can't tell, Jackson and Woodworth do a lot of smiling and laughing, but Loudmouth Golf is no joke. They've recently entered into partnerships with other manufacturers to use their designs and the names of the designs on things like headband, ties, umbrellas, and more.
For now, Norway's curlers and the sport of curling in general is enjoying the added exposure they are getting from all of this during the Winter Olympics. For Loudmouth, they will be making noise for years to come.
As I wrapped up the interview, Woodworth, known as "Woody" to everyone, left me with one piece of advice.
"Remember, real men wear pink!"
Unless you're the Norwegian men's curling team.

Joshua Joseph Malago
senior lecturer
Joshua Joseph Malago is a cellular and molecular pathologist and a senior lecturer at Sokoine University of Agriculture and an adjunct lecturer at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical College. He is a prolific instructor of General and Veterinary Pathology who teaches and inspires students in the field of pathology.
He was trained as a veterinarian and later in his postgraduate studies, specialized in cellular mechanisms of cell defense focusing on the role of heat shock response in cell defense following various forms of stress. His Ph.D. thesis 'The role of heat shock response in the cytoprotection of intestinal epithelial cells' can be made a required reading for anyone interested in the mechanisms of cytoprotection by heat shock response. Discussed in that thesis include but not limited to the cross-talks of heat shock proteins and transcription factors like nuclear factor kappa B and activating protein-1 as well as mitogen activated protein kinase (JNK, Elk1/2 and p38) cascade. The argument posed about their interaction in favor of cytoprotection is a state of the art.
Joshua has researched and published fairly in the field of heat shock response and its protection of infected human enterocytes. Of recent, he has made remarkable contribution in the science of mechanisms of beneficial microbes to the enteric health by linking the microbiota and their fermentation products with over-expression of heat shock proteins. Being fascinated by his findings, Joshua still researches in the protective role of heat shock response induced by various agents, including natural products, to intestinal disorders. He is currently focusing on prevention and treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases, particularly ulcerative colitis via induction of heat shock response.
In addition, Joshua is a chief editor to Tanzania Veterinary Journal which publishes scientific papers on all fields of veterinary medicine and a chairperson of the scientific committee of the Tanzania Veterinary Association.

Andreessen Horowitz Expands its Ranks
Andreessen Horowitz, the venture-capital firm launched a year ago by Netscape founder Marc Andreessen and former Opsware chief executive Ben Horowitz, is beefing up its ranks with a new general partner and two other partners.
The firm is bringing on board John O'Farrell, 51, most recently executive vice president of business development for Silver Spring Networks and a onetime Opsware executive, as a general partner who will help the firm invest in technology companies. In addition, Andreessen Horowitz is adding Jeffrey Stump, 37, a partner at executive recruiting firm Howard Fischer Associates International, to focus on talent searches. Last week, news also broke that Margit Wennmachers, 45, a founder of public relations firm OutCast Communications, is joining Andreessen Horowitz as a partner specializing in marketing.
Mr. Andreessen said the additions, which bring the Sand Hill Road firm's headcount to 16 people, would give the firm more bandwidth to look at all the deals that have been flowing through and help pick up the velocity of angel investments. Over the last 12 months, the firm has had 1,048 qualified investment referrals–but just two general partners, said Mr. Andreessen. "We're definitely building," he said.
The additions come as the venture-capital industry as a whole has been winnowing its ranks following a decade of lackluster returns. Many firms have closed their doors or been unable to raise big new funds. According to the National Venture Capital Association, there were 6,828 investment professionals in venture capital as of the end of 2009, down from 8,892 in 2007.
Mr. O'Farrell said he was excited to join Andreessen Horowitz because the firm is "tremendously well positioned" and because he and Messrs. Andreessen and Horowitz know and work well with one another (all three were at Opsware). He said he remains an advisor to Silver Spring Networks, a start-up focused on smart grid solutions.
Mr. Stump said he has done searches for a variety of tech companies from Flextronics to smaller start-ups and that he regards joining Andreessen Horowitz as "an opportunity of a lifetime." Ms. Wennmachers said she is joining the firm because while Andreessen Horowitz is only a year old, "it gets very grown up deal flow."
Mr. Andreessen said he envisions the firm will stay at around 16 people for the next 12 months but that Andreessen Horowitz will likely be "considerably larger" in three years as the firm raises new funds.

If you were at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival in Park City on Saturday night, you probably experienced the whole traffic mess—Parley's closing down, cars stuck, and accidents everywhere.
Next time listen to the radio traffic report. And for the ride home from work, we turn to Heather.
Read about her and other local radio personalities in our current issue, on stands now.
Who: Heather McShane, interim director of operations for the Total Traffic Department of Clear Channel Radio
Where you can hear her: KODJ 94.1 FM, 97.1 ZHT, KNRS 105.7 FM and 570 AM, Today's 106.5 FM, KALL 700 AM and HD station Rock 99.1 FM
Most listeners turn on the radio in their cars—whether we're going to the office or home—and McShane helps keep us out of traffic's way.
"The majority of my job involves looking through 500 plus cameras, which are feeding live traffic data on Utah's highways to my monitor," she says. She looks for accidents, slowdowns, construction and any hazard that would affect travel. McShane and her staff also rely on seven different police scanners to find the coordinates of accidents.
She puts the data she gathers into a computer program, which transfers it to GPS units in peoples' cars and prepares reports to read on air.
On snowy days, it's not uncommon for McShane to be entering one accident into the computer, when four more are called out over the scanner.
On average, she is on the air reporting traffic about 170 times per day (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.). Most are recorded 90 seconds before airing.
"We are extremely fortunate in Salt Lake to have so many traffic cameras," she says.
"Most cities only have a handful of cameras, and many of those only provide still shots. We get live, streaming video."
She has reported the traffic for just over five years for Clear Channel and does so from her office in the UDOT Traffic Operations Center on the valley's west side.
McShane doesn't have a GPS device in her car, so she also relies on radio traffic reports.
"I'd like those commuters out there who think the rules don't apply to them to know when they decide to drive in reverse on an on-ramp because they can't be bothered to sit in traffic that I'm watching them."

Cooking is one of my all time favorite things to do. That being said there are a few things that really are must haves when it comes to the kitchen. Here is a list of my top 10 things that everyone needs to have in their kitchen
1. A good set of knives: 3 1/2-inch paring knife, 8-inch heavy chef's knife, and an 8-inch bread knife
2. Pots and Pans; a stockpot, a sauce pan, a nonstick frying pan, a cast iron skillet, and a medium Ducth oven
3. Bakeware: a shallow stainless steel roasting pan, 2-quart baking dish, and a cookie sheet or two
4. Food Processor
5. Blender
6. Stand mixer
7. Microwave
8. Multiple cutting boards: these help keep surfaces sanitary
9. Crockpot
10. Utensils: silicone spatulas, vegetable peeler, basting brush, wire whisk, potato masher, microplane zester, kitchen sheers, slotted spoons, ladle, and tongs

I'm a student and I'm taking my first networking class. I'm working on an assignment designed to get me used to using Wireshark and understanding packet transfers. Part of the assignment is to collect some data about a certain GET request, but my Wireshark isn't showing anything related to GET or POST requests.
I've discussed this with my instructor and he can't figure it out, either. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Wireshark, but haven't gotten anything different.
Here's what I'm getting when I should be getting GET data:
TCP http > 16070 [SYN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=0 Win=14600 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 WS=512
This is the first packet I get when connecting to the required server. From what I've gathered from the assignment instructions and the instructor, this should get a GET request. Anyone have any ideas?

Web Displays Mod for Minecraft 1.7.10/1.6.4/1.6.2
About Web Displays Mod
This mod adds a Web Screen Block! So, what do you think this block will do ? Well, when you place a few of those blocks (144 in fact) in a 16x9x1 surface shape, and you right-click it, a real web browser shows up. You can go on YouTube, watch some videos or listen to your favourites musics, or watch the stream of your favourite streamer, and everything in-game.
The screen:
First, you need to craft some web screens blocks like this:
Then, build a little walll with them (minimum size: 2×2) and right click on the side where you want the screen to appear (check that you don't have any items in your hand). That's it, you created your screen. Shift-Right Click to change the URL. To click on a link/button, simply right-click it with nothing in the hand.
The minePad:
Ok, so you have a web browser in a block; now what about a web browser in an item? Here is the minePad: YAY!
Once you created it; you need to right-click a real screen (made out of web screens blocks) and you'll see what is shown on the screen but on your this tablet!
Peripherals are blocks that can be connected to a screen using the Wireless Linker:
You have to right click the screen first and then the peripheral with it. Note that peripherals can be wherever you want in the world, there is no distance from the screen limit. It just have to be in the same dimension.
Peripheral #1: The keyboard:
To type things in the web screen, you'll need the keyboard:
After linking it to a screen with the linker, just right-click it with nothing in the hand, type whatever you want, and press Escape when you have done.
Peripheral #2: The Computer Interface:
If you want to use ComputerCraft to interact with the screen, here is the computer interface:
After linking it to a screen using the linker, place a computer next to it. You can access its functions using peripheral.wrap("SIDE_OF_THE_INTERFACE")
To know which functions are available; you can watch tutorial here:
Peripheral #3: The Repeater:
This peripheral is a little bit special; it'll repeat what a real screen will show (called "source"), but on another screen (called "repeater).
Build two 16×9 screen (using web screens blocks). Turn on the source screen (right-click it with nothing in the hand). Then, select it by right-clicking it using the wireless linker. Once the source has been selected, click on the second screen using the linker. That's it
Peripheral #4: The Remote Controller:
Crafted like this:
The Remote Controller once linked to a screen will enable you to change the URL of its linked screen wherever you want; this might be usefull to make a screen control room and change the URL from far.
