Phoca cristata Erxleben, 1777
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Morphometric and allozyme analyses, as well as molecular genetics analyses, suggest that Hooded Seals are a single panmictic population (Wiig and Lie 1984, Sundt et al. 1994, Coltman et al. 2007), though three breeding stocks are commonly recognized (Gulf and St Lawrence and the Front (east coast Canada), the Davis Strait and the West Ice (Greenland Sea north of the island of Jan Mayen)) (Sergeant 1974, Lavigne and Kovacs 1988).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Vulnerable A2b ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Kovacs, K. (IUCN SSC Pinniped Specialist Group)
|Kovacs, K. & Lowry, L. (Pinniped Red List Authority)
Hooded Seals in the northwest Atlantic breeding areas are currently either stable or increasing modestly. However, the northeast Atlantic stock has declined by 85-90 % over the last 40-60 years. The cause of the decline is unknown, but very recent data suggests that it is on-going (30% within 8 years), despite the protective measures that have been taken in the last few years. Although the Hooded Seal is thought to be panmictic, the precipitous decline in the eastern stock (from over half a million to 70 000) over a period of a few decades warrants that the hooded seal be classified as Vulnerable.
IUCN Evaluation of the Hooded Seal, Cystophora cristata
Prepared by the Pinniped Specialist Group
A. Population reduction Declines measured over the longer of 10 years or 3 generations
Al. Population reduction observed, estimated, inferred, or suspected in the past where the causes of the reduction are clearly reversible AND understood AND have ceased, based on and specifying any of the following:
(a) direct observation
(b) an index of abundance appropriate to the taxon
(c) a decline in area of occupancy (AOO), extent of occurrence (EOO) and/or habitat quality
(d) actual or potential levels of exploitation
(e) effects of introduced taxa, hybridization, pathogens, pollutants, competitors or parasites.
Generation time in Hooded Seals is approximately 10 years. Hooded Seals have experienced a dramatic decline over the last three generations (30 years) in the northeast Atlantic stock but the causes are not clearly reversible, nor understood (global decline is, however, not > 50%).
A2. Population reduction observed, estimated, inferred, or suspected in the past where the causes of reduction may not have ceased OR may not be understood OR may not be reversible, based on (a) to (e) under Al.
Hooded Seals in the northeast Atlantic have experienced a dramatic decline over the past 40-60 years (the precise time-frame is not known). This stock has been reduced by 85-90% since World War II. It is currently in decline, the causes of which are unknown (the decline may not be reversible). The northwest Atlantic stock of hooded seals is stable or increasing moderately in recent decades. Overall, the global population has declined by approximately 35-40% and thus this species should be considered Vulnerable.
A3. Population reduction projected or suspected to be met in the future (up to a maximum of 100 years) based on (b) to (e) under A1
There is concern that Hooded Seal will be negatively impacted by climate-change induced alternations to sea ice extent and character, as well as potential changes in the ecosystem that will affect its food supply. The relatively restricted distribution and some degree of overlap in diet with commercial fisheries add to the risk factor for this species.
A4. An observed, estimated, inferred, projected or suspected population reduction (up to a maximum of 100 years) where the time period must include both the past and the future, and where the causes of reduction may not have ceased OR may not be understood OR may not be reversible, based on (a) to (e) under A1.
It is suspected that a population reduction will occur in the next 100 years for Hooded Seals due to climate-change induced alterations to the physical and biological resources upon which this species depends. A marked reduction has already been observed in the northeast Atlantic for unknown reasons. The decline has not ceased and may not be reversible.

Both segments of the hooded seal population exceed 10,000 mature individuals.
AND either C1 or C2:
C1. An estimated continuing decline of at least: CR = 25% in 3 years or 1 generation; EN = 20% in 5 years or 2 generations; VU = 10% in 10 years or 3 generations (up to a max. of 100 years in future)
C2. A continuing decline AND (a) and/or (b):
(a i) Number of mature individuals in each subpopulation: CR < 50; EN < 250; VU < 1,000
(a ii) % individuals in one subpopulation: CR = 90–100%; EN = 95–100%; VU = 100%
(b) Extreme fluctuations in the number of mature individuals.
D. Very small or restricted population
Number of mature individuals: CR < 50; EN < 250; VU < 1,000 AND/OR restricted area of occupancy typically: AOO < 20 km² or number of locations < 5
Both segments of the hooded seal population exceed 1,000 mature individuals.
E. Quantitative analysis
Indicating the probability of extinction in the wild to be: CR > 50% in 10 years or 3 generations (100 years max.); EN > 20% in 20 years or 5 generations (100 years max.); VU > 10% in 100 years
There has been no population viability analysis conducted on hooded seals.
Listing recommendation — The relatively restricted distribution of Hooded Seals, their dependence on sea ice for breeding, moulting and resting and the observed, significant, declines for unknown reasons in the northeast Atlantic stock suggest that upgrading of this species to Vulnerable is warranted under criterion A2b. The observation of increased numbers of vagrant Hooded Seals well beyond their normal range, on both sides of the North Atlantic, suggests that the global population of Hooded Seals is experiencing change throughout the species range, despite the contrasting population trends in the west and east.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Hooded Seals are found at high latitudes within the North Atlantic; seasonally they extend their range north into the Arctic Ocean, as well as south into the North Sea in the Northeast Atlantic. They breed on pack ice and are associated with it much of the year, though they spend significant periods of time pelagically, without hauling out (Lavigne and Kovacs 1988, Folkow and Blix 1999). There are four major pupping areas: near the Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of St Lawrence, north of Newfoundland in an area known as the "Front," the Davis Strait (Sergeant 1974) and in the West Ice in the Greenland Sea near the island of Jan Mayen. Hooded Seals wander extensively sometimes; young animals have come ashore as far south as Portugal and the Canary Islands in Europe and south into the Caribbean in the West Atlantic (Kovacs and Lavigne 1986). They are increasingly common in recent years on Sable Island and along the New England coast (Harris et al. 2001, Lucas and Daoust 2002). They have also been found outside the Atlantic in the eastern Beaufort Sea and an adult female stranded in southern California in 1992 (Dudley 1992, Rice 1998, Kovacs 2002). Since the mid 1990s large numbers of vagrant Hooded Seals have been found away from the Arctic in some years; the numbers of these sightings are increasing for unknown reasons (Mignucci-Giannoni and Haddow 2002, Harris and Gupta 2006).

|Aerial surveys carried out at all three whelping areas in the Northwest Atlantic in 2005 produced an estimate of 116,900 pups born. The whole population, modelled based on the pup counts, produced an estimate of 592,000 individuals (Waring et al. 2005). This suggests a moderate increase both in pup production and population size between the mid 1980s and 2005 (Hammill and Stenson 2006, 2007). Hooded Seals in the northeast Atlantic are showing an opposite trend. Pup production estimated for the Greenland Sea stock (West ice, near Jan Mayen) in 2005 was 15 250 pups, which in turn produces an estimate of total population size of about 70,000 animals (Øigård and Haug 2007, Salberg et al. 2008). This population estimate for the northeast Atlantic stock is 10-15% of the level observed some 60 years ago. Pup production estimated for this hooded seal whelping area in 1997 was 24,000. The cause of the significant, on-going decline in this population is unknown. But, concern for the apparent problems facing this stock has lead to the closure of hunting in recent years and the listing of this stock in the Norwegian Red List as Vulnerable (www.artsdatabanken.no).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Hooded Seals are a markedly sexually dimorphic ice-breeding pinniped. Adult male hooded seals average 2.5 m in length and 300 kg (Kovacs and Lavigne 1986), with large animals reaching over 400 kg (Kovacs 2002). Adult females are smaller, averaging 2.2 m and 160 kg, but can reach 300 kg (Kovacs and Lavigne 1992). Pups are born at approximately 1 m in length and 24 kg (Kovacs and Lavigne 1992).
Hooded Seals pup on pack ice in mid March. The breeding season for this polygynous species is very short, usually lasting only about 2.5 weeks, and mating takes place in the water (Boness et al. 1988, Kovacs 1990). This species has the shortest lactation period for any mammal, with most pups being weaned in four days (Bowen et al. 1985). Pups weigh an average of 48 kg at weaning in the Northwest stocks (Kovacs and Lavigne 1992, Lydersen et al. 1997). The short reproductive period is energetically advantageous to both males and females, with relative losses in body mass being small for both sexes compared to other phocid seals (Kovacs and Lavigne 1992, Kovacs et al. 1996).
Hooded Seals moult in July, with each breeding stock congregating at a separate, traditional site, north of their whelping areas. If mixing does occur, the degree to which this takes place is unknown. Following the moulting period each stock disperses in the North Atlantic; movement patterns are only documented for the Greenland Sea stock (Folkow and Blix 1995, 1999, Folkow et al. 1996). Apart from the breeding and moulting periods where Hooded Seals form loose aggregations in specific areas, it is thought that hooded seals live quite solitary lives. However, little is in fact known about them outside the periods when they congregate. Groups of females with young animals have been seen at the northern ice edge in summer, but it is not known whether the groups were socially facilitated or solely the result of concentrations of prey (Kovacs pers. Obs.). Hooded seal longevity is 25-30 years (Kovacs 2002).
Hooded Seals are very capable divers that spend extensive periods at sea without hauling out (Folkow and Blix 1999). Most of their dives are from 100-600 m in depth and last 5-25 minutes, however, very deep dives to over 1,000 m and dives lasting almost an hour have been recorded (Folkow et al. 1996, Lydersen et al. Unpubl. Data). Hooded Seals feed on a wide variety of fish and invertebrates, including species that occur throughout the water column. Examples of typical prey are Parathemisto, Greenland halibut, members of the cod family such as Polar and Atlantic Cod, redfishes (Sebastes spp.), sand eels, herring, capelin, squid (e.g. Gonatus fabricii), and shrimp (Haug et al. 2004, 2007).
Polar Bears and Killer Whales are known Hooded Seall predators (Lavigne and Kovacs 1988); Greenland Sharks might also take young Hooded Seals.
|Terrestrial; Marine
|Major Threat(s):
Hooded Seals were subjected to intense commercial hunting in the 19th and 20th centuries. Harvests were often conducted in association with Harp Seal harvests and commercial fisheries for Greenland Sharks. Norway, the former Soviet Union, Canada, and Greenland have all been involved in the commercial harvests of this species. Following World War II the hunt was primarily focused on pups because of their highly prized blue-back pelt, however, many adult females were taken when defending their pups (Lavigne and Kovacs 1988). The number of Hooded Seals in the northwest Atlantic is relatively well known. Pup production estimates have been repeatedly conducted, and TAC (total allowable catch) adjusted through time (e.g. Sergeant 1976, Hay et al. 1985, Bowen et al. 1987, Hammill et al. 1992, Stenson et al. 1996). Since 1998 TAC has been set at 10,000 seals per year, but catches are in fact only a few hundred animals (ICES 2006). Hooded Seals have also been harvested commercially in the Greenland Sea for centuries. The hunt increased substantially after World War II, to levels that were clearly not sustainable; regulatory measures were introduced in 1958 to reduce effort, and quotas were imposed in 1971 (Sergeant 1976, ICES 2006). Based on catch per unit effort analyses and mark-recapture pup production estimates it was assumed that the stock increased from the 1960s through to the 1990s at an unknown rate (Ulltang and Øien 1988). Aerial survey attempts in 1994 failed to produce an estimate (Øritsland and Øien 1995). Recent modelling efforts suggest that a very substantial decrease in population abundance took place from the late 1940s up to the early 1980s (ICES 2006). Aerial surveys in recent years suggest that this downward trend is continuing. Total pup production was estimated to be 24 000 in 1997 and this number dropped to 15 250 in 2005 (Salberg et al. 2008).
Hooded Seals are also taken by native people of Greenland and Canada for subsistence purposes every year (Kovacs 2002). By-catch of Hooded Seals in coastal net fisheries has been reported from the United States, from trawl fisheries off Norway and Newfoundland, and salmon drift nets used off Greenland (Woodley and Lavigne 1991, Reeves et al. 1992, Waring et al. 2005). Competition for food with commercial fisheries and other predators has been suggested as a factor that may limit population growth or lead to declines (Reijnders et al. 1993).
Impacts of oil spills on Hooded Seals have not been reported; however, as an ice breeding species, they might be at risk of mortality from spills during the pupping season when newborn and newly weaned pups could be fouled (St. Aubin 1990). Hooded Seals have been exposed to morbillivirus (Duignan et al. 1997), but did not suffer fatalities during the mass die-offs of Harbour Seals in European waters from phocine distemper virus in 1998 and 2002. Subsequent testing of a variety of Arctic seals revealed antibodies to the virus in 18-24% percent of the Hooded Seals sampled indicating exposure to the virus (Harkonen et al. 2006).
The Hooded Seal is a pack ice species, which is dependent on ice as a substrate for pupping, moulting, and resting and as such is vulnerable to reduction in extent or timing of pack ice formation and retreat (Tynan and DeMaster 1997, Johnston et al. 2005, Learmonth et al. 2006, Kovacs and Lydersen 2008, Laidre et al. 2008). The productivity of the ice edge ecosystem is also dependent on the dynamics and seasonality of arctic ice, and alterations to the cycle of formation and retreat could have negative effects on important Hooded Seal prey such as Arctic Cod. Decreases in sea ice cover could also lead to more shipping and development of extraction based industries in the Arctic which in turn could negatively affect Hooded Seals through increased exposure to contaminants and pollution, increased disturbance and increased risk of shipping accidents and spills (Pagnan 2000).
|Conservation Actions:
|Numerous conservation measures, international management plans, harvest quotas, and agreements and treaties, have been developed for the conservation of Hooded Seals dating back to the 1870s. Moulting seals in the Denmark Strait have been protected since 1961. Harvest quotas at Jan Mayen began in 1971. Hunting was banned in the Gulf of St Lawrence in 1972 and quotas were placed on the rest of the Canadian harvest beginning in 1974. A European Economic Community ban on importation on seal products in 1985 reduced the harvest of blueback Hooded Seals through the loss of the primary market for the furs (Lavigne and Kovacs 1986, Reeves et al. 1992).

Box Score
Alabama-Florida Boxscore
Alabama Season Stats
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama junior shortstop Josh Rutledge had three hits and drove in a career-high six runs, leading the Crimson Tide to a 10-8 win over No. 3 Florida in the series finale at Sewell-Thomas Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Rutledge knocked in five of the Tide's first six runs, including a three-run home run in the second inning that gave Alabama its first lead of the series, and then added a key insurance run in the seventh inning that extended UA's lead to three runs.
"When the guys got on base for me today I was able to come through with some hits, thankfully," Rutledge said following his career-high six RBI performance.
His previous high for RBI in a game was five, most recently against Illinois-Chicago on Feb. 27, 2010. The six RBI equal the most in a game by an Alabama player this season. Senior first baseman Clay Jones had six RBI in the Tide's 13-3 win over Georgia on March 3 and junior second baseman Ross Wilson had six RBI in win over Stony Brook on March 13.
Rutledge finished the game with three hits and reached base twice on errors by UF third baseman Austin Maddox.
Rutledge committed three errors at shortstop for the Tide, which led to a pair of unearned runs. Maddox had three errors for the Gators, which led to two unearned runs.
Rutledge's big day provided enough run support for Alabama junior right-hander Nathan Kilcrease and senior right-hander Jake Smith, who combined for eight strikeouts on the mound.
Kilcrease (4-2), who made his fifth career start and first career SEC start, pitched into the seventh inning and allowed seven runs and nine hits with four strikeouts and one walk. Smith worked the final 2 1/3 innings for his third save of the season. He stranded the tying runs on base in the seventh and eighth innings and struck out Daniel Pigott, who represented the tying run, to end the game in the ninth.
"We just really had to compete," Alabama head coach Mitch Gaspard said. "They're a really good team playing at a high level. I thought Nathan Kilcrease really did a nice job, especially considering that was his first start all year. We were able to stretch him out a little bit, he got through six innings and then Jake Smith came in and did a really nice job.
"I thought the key was today we were able to get a lead and they weren't really able to get the lead back. They tied us and we held it there and then were able to extend it from there. Through the first two games we couldn't get off the deck, they got started so quick and were chasing all day."
Florida (33-12, 17-7 SEC) took a 1-0 lead in the top of the second inning on Austin Maddox's team-leading 15th home run of the season. It marked the third straight game in the series the Gators scored first.
Alabama (29-19, 10-14 SEC) took its first lead in the series with a four-run second inning to take a 4-1 lead. Senior catcher Cody Trotter led off the inning with a single to left and moved to second on sophomore left fielder Jon Kelton's sacrifice bunt. Freshman right fielder Andrew Miller was then hit by a pitch and senior second baseman Cal Tinsley reached on a bunt single to load the bases with one out.
Sophomore center fielder Taylor Dugas plated the first run with a sacrifice fly to center that easily scored Trotter to tie the game at 1-1. Rutledge followed with a three-run home run to left to give Alabama its first lead of the series at 4-1. It was Rutledge's career-high seventh home run of the season.
The Gators tallied single runs in the third and fourth inning to close the gap to 4-3. In the third, Tyler Thompson reached on an error by Rutledge and scored on den Dekker's infield ground out. In the fourth, Maddox ripped a leadoff double to right-center and scored on Pigott's sacrifice fly to cut the UA lead to 4-3.
Alabama got two runs back in the bottom of the fourth inning on Rutledge's two-run single that increased the Tide's lead to 6-3.
Kilcrease navigated the first four innings on just 50 pitches, but ran into some trouble in the fifth as the Gators scored three runs to tie the game. Thompson led off with a single before Mike Zunino flied out to right field. Thompson was erased at second base for the second out when Nolan Fontana reached on a fielder's choice.
With two outs, den Dekker hit a two-run home run to right to make it 6-5. After Preston Tucker drew a walk, Maddox ripped a double down the left field to score Tucker with the tying run. Kilcrease then struck out Brian Johnson to end the 32-pitch inning.
Again Alabama answered, scoring three times in the bottom of the fifth to take a 9-6 lead. Junior DH David Kindred led off the inning with a double to right-center field off reliever Anthony Descalfani. It was Tide's lone hit of the inning.
Trotter struck out for the first out of the inning and Florida turned to left-hander Nick Maronde out of the pen. Maronde hit Kelton and Miller to load the bases before striking out Tinsley for the second out. Dugas drew a bases-loaded walk to chase home Kindred with the go-ahead run and Kelton scored when Rutledge reached on an error by Maddox.
Jones was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded as Miller scored to give the Tide a 9-6 lead. Florida got back-to-back one-out hits from den Dekker and Tucker before Smith replaced Kilcrease on the mound. Smith got two fly outs to end the inning, including a warning track fly ball off the bat of Johnson that Kelton caught in front of the left field wall for the third out.
Descalfani (2-3) was charged with the loss after he allowed one run and two hits in one inning of relief. He was one of five relief pitchers used by the Gators on Sunday.
Zunion hit his eighth home run of the season to lead off the seventh inning as UF cut the lead to 9-7.
Alabama got the run back immediately when Miller singled, moved to second on Tinsley's sacrifice bunt and scored on Rutledge's infield single that got past Maddox at third base to give Alabama an 10-7 lead.
Florida got an unearned run in the eighth inning to cut the lead to 10-8, but stranded the tying runs on base.
The Gators loaded the bases with no outs in the eighth inning as Pigott led off with a single to right center field. Josh Adams reached on Rutledge's third error of the game and Thompson walked to load the bases. Smith struck out Zunion, who had five hits and six RBI in the series, for the first out, before Fontana's sacrifice fly scored Pigott from third to make the score 10-8. Smith then struck out den Dekker to end the inning.
Smith retired the first two batters he faced in the ninth before Johnson singled on 1-2 pitch down the left field line. Smith followed with a strike out of Pigott to end the game.
Alabama will play its final non-conference game of the season on Wednesday, May 12, when the Crimson Tide travels to Joe Lee Griffin Field to meet the Samford Bulldogs in a 6:30 p.m. (CDT) game. The Tide will return home next weekend with a three-game series against Mississippi.
GAME NOTES*Alabama (29-19, 10-14 SEC) remains one game behind Tennessee for eighth place in the overall SEC standings following Sunday's win. The top eight teams advance to the 2010 SEC Tournament, which is played at Regions Park in Hoover from May 26-30.
*Sophomore center fielder Taylor Dugas was hitless in the game on Sunday, but reached base twice and had two RBI in for the Crimson Tide. He had a sacrifice fly in the Tide's four-run second inning and drew a bases-loaded walk, which forced in the winning run, in the three-run fifth inning. He has reached base safely in 47 of 48 games this season, including 37 consecutive games, dating back to March 13.
*Junior shortstop Josh Rutledge went 3-for-5 with a home run and career-high six RBI in the Tide's 10-8 win on Sunday. He slammed a three-run home run in the second inning to give Alabama its first lead of the series at 4-3. His previous high was five RBI, most recently against Illinois-Chicago on Feb. 27, 2010.
*Rutledge has hit safely in 23 of the Tide's 24 SEC games this season, including a 15-game hitting streak in SEC play. He leads the Tide with 26 multi-hit games this season and has 76 in his three-year career.
*Rutledge recorded his 250th career hit on Sunday with a two-run single in the fourth inning. He is the eighth player in Tide history with 250 career hits, joining Andy Phillips (322, 1996-99), Brent Boyd (313, 1999-2002), Joe Caruso (309, 1994-97), Jeremy Brown (307, 1999-2002), G.W. Keller (292, 1997-99), David Magadan (268, 1981-83) and Emeel Salem (259, 2004-07).
*Senior first baseman Clay Jones reached base 11 times in 15 appearances, a .733 on-base percentage in the three-game series with Florida. He had three hits, drew four walks and hit by a pitch four times.
*Freshman right fielder Andrew Miller went 2-for-2 on Sunday and reached base four times while scoring a career-high four runs from the No. 8 spot in the lineup. He was hit by a pitch and scored in the four-run second inning, singled and scored in the fourth, hit by a pitch and scored the winning run in the fifth and singled and scored in the seventh inning.
*Junior RHP Nathan Kilcrease made his fifth career start and first career SEC start on the mound against Florida. He worked 6 1/3 innings and allowed seven runs (6 ER) and nine hits with four strikeouts and one walk. He threw a career-high 107 pitches.
*Senior Jake Smith earned his third save of the season with 2 1/3 innings in relief of Kilcrease. Smith allowed one unearned run and one hit with four strikeouts and one walk. He stranded both inherited runners in the seventh inning as got fly outs from Austin Maddox and Brian Johnson as the Gators left the tying runs on base. He had two strikeouts in the eighth inning and two more in the ninth.
*Alabama played the game without starting second baseman Ross Wilson, who missed his fifth straight game with a hairline fracture in his left hand.

Wondering what you will be doing this summer? Starting to consider different options for summer camps? There are tons around, almost every educational service you turn to has something. I just wanted to shed light on some of the camps around town.
Learn Beyond The Book, that normally offers classes for homeschoolers during the semester, are having some summer camps this year as well. Their camps include things like Video Game Design, Ceramics, Kitchen Science, Improv and Theater games, Dungeons and Dragons Club, Math Games, Beginning Band and much more. For all the info on these, you can go to this link. There is something for everyone, ages 5+ and some camps are once a week for a few weeks, some are for a week long, and if you can't make it every week, your cost will get pro-rated.
If your child is really into Legos, another fun camp idea would be Lego related camps such as those offered by ASE Enrichment, Inc. ASE also offers other camps, such as Art and Cooking, and even some martial arts. They are being offered a week at a time, all throughout the summer.
You might already be aware of another great resource through the Parks & Rec publication called Seasons magazine. They offer tons of fun and interesting camps as well. Their summer camps should be announced any day now. Look for the magazine in your mailbox or you will also be able to access the camps online.
If you want your kids to keep working on academics in the summer, Care Learning Academy offers academic summer camps that also include fieldtrips and fun activities. Check out what they have to offer at this link. Their camps are really ideal for those parents who work full-time and need their kids somewhere the whole day every day of the summer, although there is still flexibility even then.
With Spring in the air, I know we are all looking forward to summer soon, so let's make the best of it with some fun and exciting camps!

Is a juicer or a high power blender better? I had a juicer and loved it but got talked into buying a high power blender and making juice in that. It's not as tasty and a lot thicker but I was told it's much healthier? Which would be the best health option? We gave our juicer to my parents and I debating whether or not to return my blender (very expensive!) and get another juicer. Any thoughts?

I found the following claim in a paper by Griffiths and Harris :
Start with a complex torus $\mathbb{C}/\Lambda$. The vector space of meromorphic functions having period lattice $\Lambda$ and a pole of order at most $n$ at $u=0$ has dimension $n$ (a consequence of Abel's theorem). Given a basis $f_1, f_2, \ldots , f_n$ of this vector space, the mapping
$F(u) = [f_1(u), \ldots, f_n(u)]$
induces a projective embedding $\mathbb{C}/\Lambda \rightarrow \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ whose image is easily proved to be a smooth algebraic curve of degree $n$. Thus, for $n=3$ we have a plane cubic, for $n=4$ the intersection of two quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^3$, etc.
I am trying to figure out why this statement is true. For the case $n=3$, you can choose the Weierstrass functions as a basis $(1,\wp,\wp')$ and they satisfy a polynomial equation of degree three, but that is nowhere near as general as the statement they make and I wouldn't say that it is "easily" proved.

"Frugal Gourmet"
Molestation Allegations
by Chuck Shepherd
January, 1997
Public television's "Frugal Gourmet," Jeff Smith, an ordained Methodist minister, has denied that he sexually molested any of the five men who have filed complaints against him for having fondled them as boys.
One of the men, Keith Thomas, who had worked for Smith in the 1970s as part of a high school work-study program, said that at the time he had shrugged off Smith's hugs and kisses as "weird, but [I thought] maybe that's the way it is with people in the food business."

Maharishi's Political
Platform Released
by Chuck Shepherd
May, 1997
According to the 1997 platform of the Natural Law Party (based on teachings of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi) in Canada, people should stop using the south and west entrances to their homes because they are inharmonious and should instead use north and east entrances.
Furthermore, Canadians entering the U.S. should do so from Niagara Falls, whose entrance (from the east) is the only nonsouthward entrance in the country.
The Party proposes to eliminate the federal deficit by "eliminating problems" and to create an "invincible" national defense through yogic flying (which resembles hopping like a frog).
The Party got 84,000 votes in 1993.

December, 1996
In a poll of Ontario residents commissioned by Global Television and reported by the Toronto Star, it was revealed that a majority believe in miracles, although the Star pointed out that some respondents' standards are lower than others, such as in one man's example of a miracle he had witnessed: "I went to someone's house and got a good deal on a power tool that I wanted for a long time."
Statute Saves Guilty Priest;
Church Recovers Expenses

Father Kapoun filed for $1,081.

Mayor Prays For Rain
Phalluses Driven From Town
by Woody Johnson
May 21, 1998
BANGKOK -- Bowing to public pressure, mayor Kitisak of the northern Thai town of Sena, ordered the removal of more than two dozen phallic symbols he had brought in for rituals at a local fire station.
Thailand has been gripped by drought for the last six months, and the phalluses were used to pray for rain according to animistic folklore.
Residents believe the phalluses, as large as ten feet (3m) long, triggered a spate of fires instead. They threatened to hold a mass rally if Kitisak (known by only one name) did not grant their wishes and remove the phalluses. At least four fires had broken out in the town since the phalluses arrived, she said.
"The phalluses were brought into town last month as part of a rite to appeal for rain from the deity but people said they brought fire and bad omens instead of rains," a municipal official said.

Crucifixion As Kitsch
by Conrad Goeringer
September 1, 1996
Every year in April, around the time of Good Friday, there is an outbreak of ritual and real crucifixions in the Philippines where certain local Catholics allow themselves to be tied -- even nailed -- to crosses for a few hours, ostensibly to commemorate the sado-masochistic tribulation of the god-man, Jesus. Last year there was a scandal reported -- one of the crucifictionees was a gentleman from Japan named Shinichiro Kaneko, who turned out to be an actor in pornographic films.
We now learn that Kaneko's performance on the cross is still scheduled for release on video, much to the consternation of Filipino Christians. In addition, there have been some other recent crucifixions, including:

Same Cross, Next Year!
Fourteen Nailed In
Brutal Crucifixion Ritual
Associated Press
April, 1995
Kapitangan, Philippines (AP) -- At least fourteen people, including a Belgian woman, were nailed to crosses in Good Friday rituals that re-enact the death of Jesus. The ritual, which takes place in Manila and surrounding Luzon Island, is among the more spectacular of the Easter Week rites in Asia's only Roman Catholic country.
Godolieve Rombaut, 54, a Belgian visitor, fainted after spending two minutes nailed to a cross in the broiling sun. She was revived with guava leaves, a native treatment, wherein she promised to undergo the ritual again next year.

Sterilized Nails Used In
Bizarre Crucifixion Ritual
by Chuck Shepherd
April, 1996
Yearly, instead of Easter communion in Cutud, Philippines, volunteer Catholics are crucified, with real nails.
Fourteen endured it this year (wailing agonizingly in pain), which marked the first year that HIV-conscious townspeople were assured by church leaders that only sterilized nails were used.

Tourism Bureau Hosted
Grisly Crucifixion Ritual
by Chuck Shepherd
April, 1997
Carrying on a 40-year tradition, Filipinos in the village of San Pedro Cutud recently conducted their Easter audience-participation crucifixion ceremonies, with 12 volunteers nailed to crosses with sterilized four-inch spikes in a show of absolution.
For several years the Philippines Department of Tourism was an official sponsor of the event.
"Porno Christ" Is Nailed -- Again
Philippine ''Christ'' Is
Really S&M Porno Actor
by Conrad Goeringer
April 24, 1996
Every year, Christians from across the world flock to the town of San Fernando in the Philippines for a round of "Holy Week" events which culminate in a gruesome ceremony depicting the alleged crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The more devout become religious celebrities if they volunteer to literally be crucified. Actors dressed up to resemble Roman Centurions actually drive spikes into the hands (and sometimes the feet) of the willing victims, who are then hoisted aloft for a few minutes while the flock of on-lookers wails and prays.
Although the Philippines are nearly 80-percent Christian, with the bulk of this group belonging to the Catholic Church, ecclesiastical authorities are ambivalent about the San Fernando ritual. Officially, the church encourages masses, prayers and other religious events; but the San Fernando crucifixions have become the biggest box office draw for local churches and peddlers of religious kitsch.
Now, a Japanese publication known as The Weekly Post has revealed an embarrassing piece of news; of the 13 men nailed in the recent Easter crucifixion, Shinichiro Kaneko, is "an actor in sadistic porno films" and participated "because he was filming an adult video." News agencies throughout the world mentioned Kaneko in their original stories about the San Fernando crucifixions, how he "wailed in agony" as the phoney "Roman Centurions" drove four-inch nails through his palms, and how he was hoisted into the air for voyeuristic public consumption.
The Post adds:
Kaneko carried the cross to the top of the hill and the ceremony started around 12:30 p.m. He lied on the cross and his hands were nailed, he screamed because of the pain. The scene was televised in Japan since he was the first Japanese who participated in the event. According to his explanation, the reason for his participation was to heal the cancer his brother was suffering from through his own ordeal on the cross.
However, it was found to be a complete lie...

George Cummins, ISU Extension Field Spec/ Crops, Northeast Area Office
There are continuing concerns related to farming practices, land use and environmental/ social impacts. Some of these issues pit rural and urban interests against one another. There are a number of individual people and groups who are implementing new practices which successfully address on-going concerns. Many people, including some public policy makers who are unaware of these local efforts which affect us all directly or indirectly.
The annual Environmental Awareness Tour was held in conjunction with the Floyd County Fair on July 15, 2005. The extension objectives were: to identify the issues; to increase awareness of the problems and options for addressing them; and to provide factual, unbiased information to help individuals, interested groups and public policy makers make informed decisions. The tour was organized by ISU Extension with assistance and support from The Cedar Valley RC and D, Floyd County SWCD, Floyd County Farm Bureau and the Floyd County Pork Producers. The tour was publicized in the newsletters and the activities calendars of the supporting organizations. The media were used to publicize the event and provide follow-up to the general public. The tour included four stops: Stop 1. The Washington School Watershed - 30 miles of tile inlet terraces trap runoff and release it slowly over a two day period. This project reduces soil erosion in the watershed and reduces the threat of flooding in the north end of Charles City. This 30-year-old project is cited as an excellent example of private and public cooperation towards a common goal. Stop 2. A livestock feeding operation which utilizes rations built around ethanol plant co-products and corn stalks. Feed efficiency and profitability are improved. With the possibility of a local ethanol plant in Floyd County, livestock feeding opportunities should increase. Stop 3. On-farm electrical generation. A local farmer shared his family's experiences building and operating their wind turbine and utilizing/ marketing the electricity that is generated. Stop 4. The Cedar River Water Quality Improvement Project. A DNR representative shared results of the water quality survey results which showed high nitrates. Implications for rural and urban interests were discussed. An Iowater volunteer demonstrated the tests that are run on a regular basis to monitor water quality around the state. An informational packet with related materials was assembled and given to all participants.
The tour attracted 28 participants from several Iowa counties; local political leaders; representatives from DNR and USDA Rural Development, an Extension Livestock Specialist, founding members of the Washington School Watershed and visitors from as far away as Texas. The tour indicates the strong working relationship that ISU Extension has with other agencies, organizations and entrepreneurial individuals and groups. Participant comments indicate that the objectives to identify critical issues, increase awareness, provide workable options for common problems and to provide information for decision making were met. KIMT TV in Mason City included a piece on the Tour as a lead story on the 10 o'clock news. The Mason City Globe Gazette gave the tour a "Rose" Award as a special event in North Iowa as well as publicizing the event. KGLO, IOW and KLMJ radio publicized the event and broadcast follow-up interviews on the tour highlights.

Finally, now more than 25 years after Strawberry Fields in Central Park was opened to the public, the full history behind this special area dedicated to John Lennon has been documented in a new book called "Strawberry Fields: Central Park's Memorial to John Lennon." The book, released earlier this year, is written by Sara Cedar Miller, the official photographer and historian of the Central Park Conservancy.
The 95-page square-shaped book is filled with gorgeous color photos as well as historical documents and black & white photos that chronicle the creation of this memorial to John Lennon. Located across from the Dakota apartment building where Lennon lived with wife Yoko Ono, Strawberry Fields now encompasses the pathways that John and Yoko used to stroll together in the years before Lennon's death in December 1980.
See photos of Strawberry Fields in New York
The idea for 'Strawberry Fields' was conceived by Ono to be an international garden of peace. While the blurb in most travel books states that the famous grey and white marble Imagine mosaic was a gift from the City of Naples, Italy, most do not explain the backstory. In this book, we learn that the mosaic was Yoko's idea and that she "selected an ancient mosaic design found in Naples and placed the word Imagine in the center. The people of Naples were delighted, and artisans were dispatched to Strawberry Fields to inlay the Imagine mosaic medallion, faithfully copying the design Yoko had chosen."
While most people think of the Imagine mosaic section as the major part of Strawberry Fields, there are actually 5.3 acres in total that make up the whole of the area (there is a full map on the back of the book's dust cover). For the landscape design of the area, Yoko worked with landscape architect, Bruce Kelly, to create a fitting memorial to John Lennon that was "more nature than culture."
In August 1981, Ono placed letters in the New York Times and many other newspapers asking for donations from other countries to create this peace garden. Many countries sent native plants; for example, an oak tree from Great Britain, dogwoods from Monaco, tulip bulbs from the Netherlands, maples from Canada, etc. And, of course, strawberries were planted by the Central Park Conservancy.
It was Yoko's intention to continue the world peace sentiment that she and Lennon had initiated in 1969 which included planting an acorn in England and then sending acorns to heads of state around the world. In her 1981 letter, Ono said, "John would have been very proud that this was given to him, an island named after his song, rather than a statue or a monument....It will be nice to have the whole world in one place, one field, living and growing together in harmony."
For Beatles fans as well as fans of Central Park, this book is the perfect souvenir to take home with you after a visit to Strawberry Fields or give as a gift. The book is available online from Barnes and Noble as well as the Central Park gift shop.

well that is exactly what i am talking about. my younger sister, an altogether innocent and nice girl, went for engineering course and we were very concerned for her. and that is exactly what happened.
on the first day itseld, some senior guys asked her and a her roommate to accompany them to the boys hostel. there they were forced to watch some really dirty porno movie, with some 5-6 guys. and then, the guys told the two girls to do a lesbian scene from the movie exactly like the girls in the movie. my sister and her friend were stripped nude, and made to have lesbian sex with each other, with the guys watching and cheering.
it was the kind of thing she could not tell anyone, even her parents, but she told me. i was very angry that her innocence was wasted like this by some third rate goonda elements that seem to be there in every college these days.

TC TO EDWARD MOXON ; 3 August 1844; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18440803-TC-EMO-01; CL 18: 164-165
Chelsea, 3 augt, 1844—
Dear Sir,
I am earnestly applied to out of America1 to know, Whether Mr Tennyson received a certain Parcel of Books, addressed to him from Boston in january last, to your care, and forwarded by Monroe and Co the Booksellers there? The Books were copies of the American Edition of Tennysons Works.2 There was, in the Parcel, or accompanying it outwardly, a Letter from a Dr Lebaron Russell; who in fact was the sender of the Books, and I believe the manager of that American Edition:3 the Letter "related to business"; neither it nor the Parcel have ever been acknowledged;—and I now am earnestly applied to, as above stated.
Not knowing where Tennyson is at present, I have no course but inquiring of you first of all.4 It is possible you may be able to resolve me without farther investigation. I am to write to America on Monday; your Note, if you at once recognise the matter, and are ready with a response, would be here in time.5
Failing that, can you be so good as let me know Tennyson's Address. I will ask you to let me, in either case, know how he is,—for on that also I am very vague. Believe me always
Yours very truly /
T. Carlyle

College Hockey:Buckeyes Take Advantage On Special Teams
Betz Shuts Out No. 6 Wildcats For Series Sweep
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Two first-period penalties cost Northern Michigan dearly, as Ohio State made short work of its power-play opportunities to jump out to an early lead, eventually winning the game 2-0 and completing a weekend sweep.
Mike Betz made 27 saves in the shutout, his third of the season and third in as many weeks. In Ohio State's 3-1 win over Northern Friday night, Betz stopped 25, giving him a two-game total of 52 saves (.981 SV%).
"I thought we played well," said Ohio State head coach John Markell. "I thought both goaltenders kept the score to where it was. Both teams had opportunities and obviously the first two power-play goals set us in motion."
Just as in Friday's contest, Ohio State scored before Northern Michigan took an official shot — twice, in fact, before Northern finally registered a shot at 14:20 in the first. Scott May earned his fifth goal of the year and picked up an assist, and Doug Andress had two helpers for the Buckeyes.
Each goal was a classic bing-bang-boom one-timer. After Ryan Moderson was called for elbowing at 4:47, the Buckeyes set up their umbrella in the Wildcat end, with Doug Andress passing from the right point to the left, where Jason Crain passed to Scott May in the left circle. May's blast at 5:05 beat Kowalski long for the 1-0 lead.
A call for too many men at 11:54 led to Ohio State's second goal at 12:28. It was Andress at the point again, this time passing to May, who banked the puck off the boards behind the net to Daymen Bencharski just right of the crease. Bencharski's shot went up and over Kowalski to make it 2-0 after one.
"That was kind of a set play that we were working on last week," said Bencharski. "Scotty put it off the backboards … and I just walked out. [Assistant coach] Casey [Jones] was saying before I went out there, just try to take a shot at it … just go for the net. That's what I did, went for the net."
Both teams had power-play advantages in the scoreless second and third periods, but few actual opportunities. OSU held NMU to three shots on five Wildcat power plays, and the Buckeyes themselves converted on two of their five total man-advantage shots.
"In the second period, they started to get the momentum a little bit and at the end," said Markell. "We got it back a little bit, and then it was just a matter of who was going to stay patient.
"In the third period, they began to push, but we continued to work hard and when you work hard, good things happen. Opportunity was there for us to get rid of the loose pucks, and Mike Betz stood tall."
Northern Michigan head coach Rick Comley said that his team's slow start hurt the Wildcats both nights. "I thought in the third period we played really well. It was the first period when we really started playing with desperation. They're [OSU] too good not to play the whole game against. I thought they played very good defense. They defended their net very well."
Going home with no points to show for the trip is frustrating, said Comley. "You want to see people you respect and see how you match up against them. I think we match up against them okay. You have to play better for longer than we did both nights."
The win marks Ohio State's second sweep this season, after downing Wayne State 9-0 and 3-2 Nov. 9-10. Winning on Saturday is something new for the Buckeyes, who have tended to let down in the second game of a given series in the past. May said that the maturity of the team is a factor, as well as Betz's play.
"I think we know what's at stake," said May, "playing the number-six team in the nation. Today we just played the systems unbelievably. Everyone contributed today. It was a phenomenal game."
May said that Betz's performance "gives the team energy," and added, "Obviously, there are going to be some letdowns during the game, and Mike's going to be there, which is a huge thing for the team. It builds the team tremendously."
"I feed off them, they feed off me," said Betz. "I know that all I have to do is make the first save, make three or four tough stops, and we get results like tonight."
Next weekend, the Buckeyes (7-2-1, 5-2-1 CCHA) travel to New Hampshire for the UNH Conference Classic (Nov. 24-25), and the Wildcats (6-3-1, 6-3-1 CCHA) host Minnesota-Duluth for two (Nov. 23-24).
