Big Society Awards
Set up by the Prime Minister in November 2010 the Big Society Awards focus upon three specific areas:
? Promoting social action
? Empowering communities
? Opening up public services
Nominations come in from the general public and the Prime Minister makes the final decisions about who to make the award to. Twelve winners are decided each quarter and then announced once a week throughout the year. The Award itself has several aspects to it. The winners each receive:
? a plaque;
? a signed certificate from the Prime Minister;
? copies of the electronic awards logos to use on their websites and publicity materials;
? an invitation to a twice yearly reception at No.10 Downing Street;
? a press release that appears on the No.10 website and that the No.10 staff then circulate to the local and regional press in the winner's home area.

The Budget - News for Volunteer Drivers and Community Car Schemes
The Community Transport Association (CTA) is delighted that in his Budget today, the Chancellor of the Exchequer has responded to calls from the CTA and Volunteering England, by extending the HMRC Approved Mileage Allowance Payments (AMAP) rate for passenger payments currently in place for business employees, at 5 pence per passenger per mile, to volunteers. Therefore, with the 5p increase to the AMAP to 45p per mile for the first 10,000 miles, this will mean that volunteers can now be reimbursed up to 50p per mile tax free, when carrying passengers. Keith Halstead, Chief Executive of the Community Transport Association UK said "The CTA is extremely pleased that the Chancellor has responded to our request to remove this barrier to volunteering. Thousands of volunteer drivers across the UK, and, more importantly, the communities that they serve through their social car schemes, will be delighted to hear this news". Further information is available from the CTA http://www.ctauk.org/policies-legislation/media-news.aspx
More Budget News
The small donations scheme, which won't require supporting Gift Aid declarations to make a charity tax reclaim, will be open only to charities that have complied with tax rules for at least three years. Enabling legislation will be required, with a planned commencement date of April 2013, but there will be consultations on how the legislation will work later this year. See news article from ThirdSector: http://www.thirdsector.co.uk/news/article/1061979/.
Guidance issued on Charitable Incorporated Organisation model
Both the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and the Charity Commission have published guidance on the charitable incorporated organisation legal form. The Scottish version (SCIO) can be applied for from 1st April, while the legislation for CIOs in England and Wales has yet to be brought into operation. See Charity Commission news item at: http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/RSS/News/pr_cio.aspx.This includes two model constitutions for CIOs, the foundation model where the only voting members will be the charity trustees, and the association model for charities that will have a wider membership.
New Gift Aid Forms
HM Revenue and Customs has issued new Gift Aid forms, including the repayment claim form R68, which can be downloaded from their website: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/charities/gift-aid-toolkit.htm.
Process starts for processing money from dormant accounts
Co-operative Financial Services (which runs the Co-operative Bank) has been approved by the Financial Services Authority to establish the facility to receive monies from dormant bank accounts which have not been used for 15 years or more. The Reclaim Fund will then go to the Big Lottery Fund and eventually out to good causes - in England this is the pot for the Big Society Bank. Those who believe they may have lost touch with a bank account or savings should check http://www.mylostaccount.org.uk/.
Getting IT to help with monitoring and evaluation (from VolResource)
Charities Evaluation Services has produced a guide to help organisations select a suitable IT system or database to support their monitoring work, as they found that this was a key barrier to such work. The guide should help establish what you need from a system and focuses on low-cost, off-the-shelf database systems with a comparison table to clearly demonstrate key features. 'IT for Outcomes' can be downloaded via: http://www.ces-vol.org.uk/index.cfm?pg=416.
Manual on the Measurement of Volunteer Work (from VolResource)
The "first-ever internationally sanctioned guidance to statistical agencies for generating reliable, official data on volunteer work using a common definition and approach" has been produced in a final pre-publication version. Created by the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies in cooperation with the International Labour Organization, 'The ILO Manual on the Measurement of Volunteer Work' can be found at: http://www.ccss.jhu.edu/index.php?section=content&view=9&sub=12&tri=106

Morrison tweet implies he's returning to Marlins
Logan Morrison announced his return from Triple-A New Orleans just before Tuesday's game when he tweeted: "6pm flight to FLL. The Boogeyman is back!"
There had been no announcement by the Marlins that Morrison has been recalled. The 23-year-old outfielder was demoted on Aug. 13, and it was believed to be partly due to his outspoken habits on Twitter.
Lending credence to the theory that the demotion was punitive, he is returning after 10 days, the mandated minimum a demoted player must stay in the minors.

When Tracy Perry's daughter Lara was diagnosed with Celiac disease in March of 2004, despite years of being a medical researcher, he knew very little about the disease.
Soon he was attending meetings of the Quebec Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association to find out more and it was at one of these meetings that he was challenged to find out if oats could be produced without gluten as many celiac sufferers wished to incorporate this grain as part of their diet.
It was shortly thereafter that Tracy met Beth Armour, a well known nutritionist at the time with the Royal Victoria Hospital. Beth was making gluten-free foods for Lara to ensure she remained healthy as a celiac sufferer. Tracy raised the issue of gluten free oats with Beth and soon they were collaborating on a project to deliver pure oats to celiac sufferers, something that no food processors had been able to do before.
By the fall of 2004, they had conducted a thorough literary review related to not just the consumption of oats, but also the farming and post harvest practices related to the product. Based on the findings, it was clear that if oats could be farmed without contamination from other grains and milled in an environment where contamination could be eliminated, then oats could be produced without gluten, the grain protein that affects celiac sufferers negatively.
As soon as it became clear that gluten free oats could be produced in a commercially viable way, the project became incorporated under the name 'Cream Hill Estates'. By operating under the name of a company, the duo immediately signalled how serious they were about their intentions, not just with respect to celiac sufferers, but also to government bodies, farmers, millers and other suppliers of goods and services.
By the spring of 2005, Tracy and Beth realised that the challenges of getting gluten free oats to market was greater than what they had originally anticipated. In addition to ensuring that farmers could grow uncontaminated oats in large enough quantities, the product be milled in an environment where cross contamination could not occur, the biggest challenge proved to be stabilizing the oats after harvest to avoid it becoming rancid.
After experiencing a steep learning curve during the summer growing season of 2005, 'Cream Hill Estates' finally received its first gluten free oats in the fall of that year....a total of 14 X 800kg tote bags. Tracy and Beth had finally proven that it could be done!
As with any success story, the challenges did not end there. In part two of this 'spotlight' feature, we will be looking at how 'Cream Hill Estates' engaged medical doctors, researchers and celiac sufferers around the world in a conversation to persuade them that gluten free oats would not present a health risk. As a result of this pioneering effort, you will also learn just how this Montreal company has delivered on the challenge the Quebec Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Society raised six years ago.

A rash of mail thefts in Paradise may be over. On Thursday, Paradise Police apprehended Christopher Larson, 25 of Paradise. For two months, someone was breaking into mailboxes in Paradise. It was the talk of the neighborhood.
"A neighbor said someone had broken into her mailbox and stolen her daughter's paycheck," said Paradise resident Robert Bruce. "And it was cashed."
Paradise Police said there were approximately 60 victims. Once the culprit got personal information he knew what to do with it to turn a profit.
"He was very sophisticated with Internet services," said Paradise Officer Robert Wright. "He knew how to gain access to Internet accounts and how to create those accounts."
There were several instances in which police said the suspect stole checkbooks and forged names and signatures to fraudulently access victims' funds.
Larson was caught with the cooperation from two other suspects involved in the scheme. On Thursday, police developed information that led officers to a home on Roberts Road sometimes affiliated with Larson.
Inside the home, newly stolen mail was found. They located W2 tax forms and a computer police said was used in creating the fraudulent accounts.
From there they learned Larson might be at the Paradise Kmart store. Police said they found Larson hiding in the bathroom after allegedly trying to cash a stolen and forged check.
Police said they are certain they have their man.
"He admitted to stealing mail including various tax information and admitted to opening up three bank accounts in three different people's names," said Wright.
There may be more victims who don't even know it.
"I contacted a subject today who had no idea that his mail was stolen back in December," said Wright.
The three people arrested will face federal charges but are currently sitting in the Butte County Jail.
Police urge people to take steps to avoid becoming victims of mail and/or identity theft.
Try to collect delivered mail as soon as possible
Do not let mail sit unattended for long periods of time
When possible, use a locking mailbox to restrict access to delivered mail.
Monitor personal account information and credit reports and promptly report fraudulent activity to police.

Say it isn't so. Recording artist and producer Cee Lo Green is walking about from the hit singing competition, "The Voice". According to the Hollywood Reporter on Feb. 19, the former Goodie Mob member revealed in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres that he is not returning to the show as a judge.
Cee Lo already rotates his judging responsibilities with User, but the "Crazy" singer is walking away completely to work on other projects.
"I'm going to continue my relationship with NBC. I have a television show development deal with them as well and hopefully some other talk show opportunities for later in the year," Green revealed in the interview. "But year, I'm going to miss The Voice, too."
Green hinted that there is always a chance for a return and if the show continues to be a success, one shouldn't rule out Cee Lo returning to the spinning chairs once again. After all, he does love music.
Cee Lo taped the interview for "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" alongside music legend Lionel Richie. The two will be touring together in a tour highlighting the greatest hits of Richie.
Cee Lo Green concluded the interview by simply saying that he doesn't want to wear out his welcome and his free time will be spent finishing and promoting a new album.
"I have so many other things that I want to do. I haven't released an album in four years. I'm almost done with my album."

College Hockey:Stastny Leads Pioneers To Fifth Straight Denver Cup Title
DU Blanks Northeastern In Final
DENVER — Tournament MVP Paul Stastny scored a goal and added two assists to lead the Denver Pioneers to a 4-0 win over Northeastern as the seventh-ranked Pioneers captured their fifth consecutive Wells Fargo Denver Cup championship Sunday before 5,960 fans at Magness Arena.
Goaltender Peter Mannino made 37 saves for his first career shutout and Matt Carle, Gabe Gauthier and Ryan Dingle added goals to help Denver improve its unbeaten streak to nine games.
"Northeastern played well, but the difference was two things: our ability to put the puck in the net, and Peter Mannino's ability to keep it out," head coach George Gwozdecky said. "We are pleased with the win and another championship title, which gives us an emotional boost heading into the second half of our season. Paul Stastny had a terrific night. He is a special player for us and definitely deserved the MVP award."
Carle staked Denver to a 1-0 lead with his eighth goal of the season, just 3:03 into the first period, on a feed from Gauthier.
The Pioneers then took command of the game with a three-goal second period. Stastny scored unassisted after a steal in the NU zone at 4:53, and Gauthier turned a pass from Stastny into a power-play goal at 9:26.
Finally, Dingle made it Denver 4-0 at 18:51 on a tough-luck play for the Huskies. Gibson went to clear a Brett Skinner shot and was dragged behind the net by DU's Jussi Halme. With the net open, Dingle took a pass from Luke Fulghum and easily netted the goal.
The teams played a scoreless third.
Mannino sparkled in net with 37 saves for the Pioneers. The freshman turned away 10 shots in the first period, 14 in the second and 13 in the third for his first career shutout. Keni Gibson stopped 27 shots for Northeastern.
Despite being outshot 37-31, Denver went 1-for-4 on the power play. The Pioneers also limited Northeastern to an 0-for-4 effort on the power play.
Denver improves its record to 13-5-1 overall, while the Huskies drop to 7-9-2.
Stastny extended his consecutive point streak to 10 games with the three-point effort. He tallied two goals and one assist in Denver's first-round win over Air Force.
Carle, Jon Foster and Northeastern's Jason Guerriero and Brian Deeth joined Stastny and Mannino on the all-tournament team.
Denver next hosts Michigan Tech Jan. 7-8 at Magness Arena, while Northeastern takes on Boston University at home Jan. 7.

Nicholas Felton's Students Hack Nike+ Data
Using data taken from the popular Nike+ sensor, students under the guidance of Nicholas Felton tried to parse it out and find some interesting stuff. What they found was not just interesting patterns, but odd (and often hilarious) bad data showing runners vanishing, teleporting, and traveling through time.
These, of course, are glitches in the technology. As Shaw explains, interference probably knocked the altitude meter off base and the disappearing runners didn't actually disappear, their Nike+ sensors just ran out of batteries. "Presumably [these are] all problems that the data crunchers at Nike wrestle with," Felton says. And, as Felton's students learned, it's the job of the designer to tell that story, in this case as a cautionary tale: If you think Nike+ is the ultimate measure of your workout, take it from the guy who time traveled, and think again.
While nobody made what could have been an awesome Tardis joke, I'm sure the students got a good crash-course in data cleaning. Unfortunately the article doesn't cover it very much. Nonetheless, it's some pretty visuals.

Christian Doomsday Cult
Thinking Confronted
From: "Joel"
To: "Positive Atheism Magazine"
Subject: Positive_Atheism_Letters_Section
Date: December 02, 2001 8:56 PM
Dear Cliff,
Thank you, I received the issues of the magazine you sent and enjoyed reading them. I look forward to more.
I read the letter "Who Do You Think This Whore Is?" and your reply. Let me say up-front that I totally agree with you and wish at times when confronted with this kind of Christian Doomsday Cult thinking that I had your knowledge and way with words to use to confront it. You said a couple of things in this exchange that made me smile when I read them because you stated my thoughts exactly. I would like to expand on these ideas a bit more.
Non-religious people like me are lumped into the category of being "pro abortion." In the black and white world of the Christian Cultists this defines a position that is not true to what I think about the issue. I have been, for many years, responding to Christian Cultists' attacks by saying, "I am not 'pro-abortion' and my personal decision is to never have one." This to me has always been a personal choice matter. You are right about the "one way street" thinking of the Christian Cultists, this is never good enough for them. They usually try to enlist my services to help them force my personal opinion on everybody. I have refused for two reasons.
One, I disagree with the method by which they arrived at their "personal" conviction. I did not arrive at mine by consulting gods, ghosts, goblins, demons, 1500 year old myths and those who claim to have dialog with non-existent entities. I thought about it, I read scientific, medical and historical texts and discussed it with many other people and formed my own opinion. To the Christian Cultists this is a very dangerous method of arriving at any opinion about anything!
Two, I vehemently disagree with the methods the Christian Cultists use to force their "personal" opinions on the rest of the world. Picture an anti-abortion rally outside a clinic where the signs that are waved say, "I will adopt and provide a good home for your child. No questions asked." Every person has a clipboard with a legal adoption contract on it. All these people have been screened and certified by secular adoption agencies and the religious corporations have their checkbooks out to pay expenses and to help support the families who do adopt if the need arises. I know, I'm dreaming. Particularly about the checkbook part. Far be it from the Christian Cultists to actually help anybody. Their job always seems to be to point fingers, blame, belittle, accuse, curse, hassle, hate, hurt, encourage bombings and shootings, etc.
But, to me, the most hypocritical part of the Christian Cultists' deal is their firm stand against good, honest comprehensive sex education and their fear that a young person might actually know something about his/her own sexual functioning. "God forbid" a young person should know that sex is a pleasurable activity that can have certain consequences if not approached in an educated and responsible way. "God forbid" that a child is taught why sex is such a strong drive; that they are here because animals evolved with this drive so they will make more animals like themselves so their species will survive and evolve further. Can't teach that evolution stuff, it's "ungodly." Can't talk about contraception, can't talk about masturbation, can't talk about using a condom because "god" sent the AIDS virus to punish those sinning homosexuals and we shouldn't interfere with "god's" punishments lest we be smote in one of his mysterious ways. And on, and on, And on! No, the Christian Cultists preach no education about this dirty, vile, unclean, ungodly act to this stupid, sinning herd of sheep, therefore, guaranteeing more abortions for them to protest about. It really has always amazed me that the Christian religion has blinded so many people to their method of manufacturing the fodder for their own evil, money grubbing, dishonest, two-faced mill.
This type of thing always made me sick, but to have these lying hypocrites in power in every branch of our government and to see their power growing daily is really frightening. I hope enough people wake up before it's too late.
Thanks for letting me vent. Joel

Background information on
Jamaica's reefs
(By Marjo Vierros, RSMAS)Jamaica's coral reefs are among the best studied in the world. They may also be the longest directly observed submarine ecosystems, with data available since the 1950s, when T.F. Goreau and his associates initiated their studies (Goreau, 1992). Subsequent observations by researchers at the Discovery Bay Marine Laboratory of the University of West Indies, as well as other scientists, have added to the wealth of information that is now available about Jamaica's marine ecosystems.
to Wells and Lang (1973) Jamaica is located at the center of coral diversity in
the Atlantic Ocean. Over 60 species of reef building corals grow here, with
fringing reefs occurring on a narrow, 1-2 km shelf along most of the north coast
of Jamaica. Reefs also grow sporadically on the south coast on a much broader
shelf that is over 20 km wide (Hughes, 1994). In addition, reefs and corals can
be found on the neighbouring banks of the Pedro Cays, 70 km to the south, and
the Morant Cays, 50 km to the southwest (Woodley et
al. 1998).
shallow water reefs of Jamaica are recent structures, probably less than 5000
years old and superimposed on a succession of older, submerged shorelines and
drowned reefs that mark the various eustatic low stands of the Pleistocene and
Holocene sea levels (Goreau and Wells, 1967). This indicates that the rate of
sea level rise was too rapid for coral growth keep pace as was common in other
areas in the Caribbean. The distribution of reef zones is strongly dependent on
the submarine depth profile. As a result, there are large variations in the
distance of the reef crest from the shore along the narrow north coast shelf. In
addition, bays indent from the rest of the coastline, creating locally-wider
lagoons, which contributes to the variable width of the adjacent reef zones. The
south coast, contrary to the north coast, has a wide shelf area with
unconsolidated sediments. The corals form patch reefs without a buttress zone,
and are surrounded by sandy bottom. South of Kingston there is a reef crest as
coral reefs have undergone large changes during the past thirty years. These
changes present a case study in the devastating effects of combined human and
natural disturbances on a reef system. The natural impacts, most importantly the
Diadema antillarum die-off and
hurricane damage, started a major deterioration in Jamaica's coral reefs. The
recovery of the reefs after the natural disturbances was prevented due to
chronic human disturbance, notably over-fishing and increased sediment and
pollution runoff (Woodley et al.
1998). The phase shift from corals to algae witnessed in Jamaica during the past
years demonstrate how human and natural disturbances may interact, reinforcing
one another (Woodley, 1995).
(1959) described the typical reef zonation of a Jamaican coral reef from his
early studies in Ocho Rios. The reef crest was composed of the rear zone, the
reef flat and the Acropora palmata
zone. The rear zone forms the inshore limit of the reef crest and rises abruptly
from the sandy bottom of the lagoon at a depth of 2 to 3 meters, and was the
site of a rich and varied coral population dominated by massive species. The
reef flat was formed almost entirely of dead and unconsolidated colonies of
branching corals (Acropora palmata).
The reef flat gave way to a narrow zone, which was populated almost entirely by
large tree-like colonies of Acropora
palmata. The reef slopes down gently to depths between 5 and 7 m over a
distance of 30 to 60 m. the lower palmata
zone formed a kind of a moat since the reef became shallower again in the
buttress zone. The buttress zone consists of spurs or buttresses of living
coral, which project outward to deeper water. The spurs are separated from each
other by a series of narrow canyons or grooves running parallel to each other.
At the crest the depth averages only about 2m while the canyons are at between 8
and 10 m deep. Large-scale aerial photographs show that this zone extends from
Port Antonio in the east to Montego Bay in the west. Generally, spurs and
grooves occur most everywhere, but not buttresses. There are some interruptions
and the width of the zone is variable. The shallower part of the forereef
consisted of large areas of staghorn coral, Acropora
cervicornis. This zone is broken by elongated sandy tracts, which are the
outward continuations of the grooves. There is high vertical relief. The lower
part of the forereef was characterized by great numbers of multilobal heads of Montastrea
annularis and other massive corals. Dense coral populations have been
observed to occur down to 70 m (Goreau and Wells, 1967).
pattern of zonation described by Goreau, though typical of its time, has changed
drastically since hurricane Allen in 1980 and subsequent disturbances. It is
possible that Goreau's descriptions of luxurious growth of Acropora palmata and A.
cervicornis may have represented an atypical condition. According to Woodley
(1992) the condition of the reef at the time of these studies was a result of a
long hurricane-free period (39 hurricanes between 1870 and hurricane Gilbert in
1988). The single longest period with no hurricane activity during this time
period is an interval of 36 years between 1944 and 1980. This is the time period
of fluorishing Acropora thickets, and also the time period during which most
descriptions of the coral reefs of Jamaica's north coast were written.
classic north coast reef zonation patterns described by Goreau and colleagues in
the 1950s – 1970s no longer exist, and a striking phase shift has taken place
from a coral dominated system to one dominated by algae (Hughes, 1994). The Acropora
palmata and A. cervicornis zones (Goreau,
1959) are no longer recognizable, since these dominant species have suffered
sharp reductions in abundance (Hughes, 1993). These changes are due to multiple
human and natural impacts, which will be detailed here.
(1993) measured coral cover on nine reef sites on the north coast in the late
1970s. The results averaged 52% coral cover at 10 m depth. In the 1990s the
coral cover on these reefs had declined to 3%. During the same time period, the
coverage of fleshy macroalgae had increased from 4% to 92%. Similar results were
also reported by other researchers.
the human stresses on coral reefs were already present in the 1970s and earlier,
there appeared to be little visible coral deterioration prior to the advent of
hurricane Allen in 1980. Hurricane Allen severely damaged the coral reefs of
north Jamaica. An almost total mortality of Acropora
cervicornis was experienced, and A.
palmata did not fare much better. Overnight, Hurricane Allen created
patterns of distribution and abundance strikingly different from pre- existing
states (Woodley et al. 1981). The
destruction of the tall branching Acropora
species caused a severe reduction in reef architectural complexity. At
Discovery Bay average spatial indices ranged from 3.8 m/m at 3m to 2.8 m/m at
10m prior to the hurricane. After hurricane Allen, the reef architectural
complexity was reduced to 1.6 and 1.4 m/m respectively (Steneck, 1993).
Coral cover was also reduced after the hurricane. In 1977, Hughes (1993)
recorded coral covers between 47% and 70% at his study sites near Discovery Bay.
After hurricane Allen, coral cover had fallen to 22-38% and the relative
abundance of species had changed significantly.
a few months substantial coral recruitment began, and while recruitment by Acropora
was minimal, other corals settled onto the free spaces and the reef began to
recover. During the following 3-4 years coral cover increased slowly, rising
from 22% in 1981 to 29% in 1984 at a study site in Rio Bueno (Hughes, 1993).
this changed, however, when a mass mortality of the black sea urchin, Diadema antillarum, took place in Caribbean between 1982 and 1984,
caused by a species-specific pathogen. The effects were seen in Jamaica in 1983
with far-reaching consequences to the coral reefs of the island. Jamaica had had
an unusually high abundance of Diadema
prior to the die-off. Even though overfishing had been taking place prior to the
1960s, the abundant Diadema grazed
down the algae, allowing corals to dominate. The Diadema population sizes fell abruptly by mid-August 1983 by almost
2 orders of magnitude (Hughes, 1993). When the Diadema died, macroalgae grew over the reefs, smothering living hard
corals and preventing new coral larvae from settling. As a result, larval
settlement by all species of corals has failed and most of the adult colonies
that survived hurricane Allen have been killed by algal overgrowth (Hughes,
1994). In the beginning of the bloom, Dictyota
quickly colonized coral rubble left from the hurricane. Lobophora, which previously was abundant at depth, soon expanded its
range and Sargassum also colonized the
area. Dictyota grew large enough to
form canopy layers over the tougher algae. Some species like Halimeda
which had always been present in crevices and between the lobes of M.
annularis, soon became more abundant.
Some of these algae formed extensive mats up to 10-15 cm deep. Prior to
the Diadema die-off, the cover of
fleshy macoralgae was typically less than 5%. Surveys of a variety of sites show
that the cover by fleshy macroalgae has increased from 4 to 92 % (Hughes, 1994).
There has been very little, if any, recovery since. The effects of the Diadema
die-off highlight the role of herbivory in the dynamics of reef communities. The
lack of herbivory due to the loss of Diadema
and chronic overfishing has prevented normal recovery from recurrent hurricanes
and remains the major impediment to coral reef recovery by pre-empting space and
overgrowing coral recruits (Hughes, 1993).
The current depleted fish stocks are not sufficient to reduce algal
abundance in the absence of Diadema,
nor have the numbers of other echinoids increased to compensate for the loss of Diadema.
The most abundant coral on the forereef today is Montastrea
annularis, but even this species has declined to 0-2% cover at depth of 10 m
in 1993 (Hughes, 1994).
reduced herbivory alone could not have caused the massive macroalgal blooms
witnessed in many locations. Lapointe
(1997) presents evidence that bottom-up control of macroalgal standing crops by
nutrient enrichment in Discovery Bay was a major contributing factor to the
phase shift away from corals and toward macroalgae and algal turfs. Groundwater
discharges at Discovery Bay are evidenced in increased nutrient concentrations.
The nutrient concentrations measured by Lapointe in Discovery Bay are some of
the highest reported for coral reefs world wide and help explain why such
impressive standing stocks of macroalage have developed on the reef system.
These findings were also supported by those of D'Elia et
al. (1981), although it has not been conclusive shown (Kjerfve 1998, Hughes
et al. 1999, Aronson and Precht 2000).
second major hurricane, hurricane Gilbert, impacted the island in 1988.
Hurricane Gilbert was a category 5 storm, and caused additional damage to
corals, although the loss in coral cover was less than that during hurricane
Allen. Hurricane Gilbert also reduced algal cover and biomass substantially.
However, this effect was short-lived and the algal cover returned to previous
proportions within a few weeks (Hughes, 1994). Many deeper sites lost almost
half their coral cover during 1988. In 1993, in Discovery Bay, the coral cover
was less than 3% at many sites, while algal cover everywhere was greater than
90% (Hughes, 1993).
coral reefs continue to suffer from combined human-induced and natural stresses.
With the growth of human populations, nutrient pollution has increased. This is
particularly evident in the vicinity of Kingston, where the pollution plume from
Kingston Harbour has contributed to increased coral mortality west of the
harbour. Soil erosion has been a serious problem in Jamaica for 50 years. Near
the mouths of rivers, sedimentation is damaging reefs. In shallow water, where
sea urchin numbers have increased, opportunistic corals have recruited and coral
cover is increasing slightly. Healthy coral populations can be found around Port
Royal Cays, where coral cover up to 20% can be found. Mass bleaching took place
in Jamaica during 1987, 1989 and 1990, with considerable mortality, and
wide-spread bleaching was also recorded in 1998 (Woodley et
al. 1998).
Some recovery of coral cover has taken place in a few locations. Mendes et al. (1999) report an increase in live coral cover from approximately 12% in 1989 to over 29% in 1999 at depths between one and eight meters on the fringing reef at Lime Cay, just south of the capital city of Kingston. This is presumed to be due to an increase in the abundance of Diadema in the shallow reef areas. Lime Cay became a part of a protected area in 1998, and is up-current of the polluted outflow from Kingston Harbour. Reef restoration efforts are also underway in Montego Bay, which is both severely impacted and one of the leading tourist destinations in Jamaica. The long term restoration efforts include establishing strategic partnerships, integrated coastal zone management decision support modeling, watershed management, sewage treatment interventions, an alternative income programme, zoning and fisheries management, monitoring, education, volunteer and enforcement programmes (Jameson, et al. 1999)

It seems the rear sight blade on my 39-2 worked itself loose. It "wiggles" from center to the left. I tried adjusting the screws on both sides to no avail. As I'm unfamiliar with this type of sight set-up, could someone help me diagnose the problem better? How does one disassemble the rear sight assembly without harming it?
Maybe this would be a good time to upgrade the all-black sights. Any suggestions?

When you download software from msdn, in my case windows 7, how can I confirm that the download completed and is not corrupted?
I have tried downloading 2-3 times now, and the installation always screws up in the middle.
I downloaded a 64-bit version of windows 7 that works fine. I now wanted to put w7 on my older computer, and its 32bit, and the install always failed. (installing the 64-bit on the same computer worked fine).
It would be great if I can at least confirm/validate that the file I downloaded was in good form.

On May 7, Hyundai Motor America announced that the all-new 2015 Genesis sedan was awarded the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) highest honor as a 2014 TOP SAFETY PICK+ when equipped with optional front crash prevention. The vehicle is the first and only rear-wheel drive vehicle in its class to receive the award. In addition, the 2015 Genesis is the first rear-wheel drive luxury sedan to earn a Good rating in the small overlap crash test.
The IIHS rates vehicles in a moderate overlap front crash, a small overlap front crash, a side impact, and a rollover test; in addition, it evaluates seat/head restraints for protection against neck injuries in rear impact collisions and evaluates available front crash prevention systems that are designed to prevent a crash or lessen its severity. To qualify for the TOP SAFETY PICK+ award, vehicles must earn Good ratings for occupant protection in the moderate overlap front, side, roof strength and head restraint tests. In addition, they must rate as acceptable or better in the small overlap test, and at least a basic rating for front crash prevention.
"The TOP SAFETY PICK+ designation recognizes state-of-the-art safety," noted IIHS president, Adrian Lund. He added, "The new Genesis is not only engineered to protect people when crashes happen, but with its optional automatic emergency braking system rated superior in our tests, this car can help drivers avoid some of the most common kinds of collisions altogether." Mike O'Brien, vice president, Corporate and Product Planning, Hyundai Motor America, added, "IIHS TOP SAFETY PICKS are important ratings in vehicle crash test safety. TOP SAFETY PICK+ recognition further reinforces its segment leadership in delivering advanced safety performance and technology as well as a host of world-class active and passive safety features."
Hyundai motes that Genesis' safety features are designed to prevent accidents and maximize the safety of its occupants in the event of a collision. The vehicle uses new Sensory Surround SafetyTM technology including a Hyundai first, Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), which employs sensor fusion technology to help avoid a potential collision or reduce its impact. With the system, the Genesis will initiate automatic braking whenever it detects another vehicle at an unsafe closing rate of speed. This system uses the front radar from the Smart Cruise Control system and the forward camera from the Lane Departure Warning (LDW) to provide this extra level of safety. Furthermore, the vehicle combines available LDW with all-new Lane Keep Assist (LKA) to deliver a driver-adjustable level of steering assist to help prevent inadvertent lane departure when a vehicle approaches the edge of a lane; it also provides steering wheel haptic vibration feedback. Haptic technology is a tactile feedback technology that recreates the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user.
Hyundai notes that the latest iteration of the Genesis is liberally equipped with new, advanced technologies, many of them Hyundai firsts. A new driver-selectable Intelligent Drive Mode allows drivers to select from four drive modes, depending on conditions and driving preferences. A new Blind-Spot Detection system (BSD) helps monitor traffic around the car. For vehicles equipped with the Heads-Up Display (HUD), the BSD system indicators also project onto the windshield, nearer the driver's view of the road. Lane Change Assist (LCA) helps detect vehicles approaching towards its rear side at high speeds, particularly during higher-speed driving; Rear Cross-traffic Alert (RCTA) scans areas to each side of the car when drivers are backing out of parking spaces. Hyundai claims that no other sedan in Genesis' class offers the combination of BSD, LCA and RCTA.
Another techno-feature is the Genesis' CO2 sensor control system. Hyundai engineers determined that occupants start to get drowsy when CO2 levels reached more than 2,000 parts per million; therefore, the vehicle's new ventilation system helps ensure the cabin maintains a CO2 concentration well below that level at all times using freshly-ventilated ambient air.

June 5-8 at Oregon's Hayward Field
Championship Info Page | Schedule | Live Results | Women's Start Lists | Men's Start Lists
» Day Two: Huge Score Earns Taiwo Second In Decathlon
» Day One: Goethals Puts UW On The Board With Fourth-Place Finish
EUGENE, Ore. - Two days after a fourth-place finish in the 10k, junior Megan Goethals was feeling even better with a fifth-place 5,000-meters finish to her name. The now eight-time All-American added some more points for the Huskies on day three of the NCAA Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field, and bringing her close to the UW scoring record.
Goethals, the Rochester, Mich. native, was hoping to pull the upset on Wednesday and win the 10,000-meters in just her third race at that distance, but settled for a still-terrific fourth-place finish. Her approach to today's 5k, where she was the runner-up last year, was just to get more points on the board and compete, and she was able to do that, as one of three women that doubled back from the 10k and again finished in the top-five today. Dartmouth's Abbey D'Agostino got the win for the second year in a row; she had not run in the 10k.
Also in the 5,000-meters final was senior Christine Babcock, making her final appearance as a Husky. Babcock ran well and was near the front of the pack until five runners, including Goethals, made a break with about a mile to go. Babcock was in ninth for a few laps, trying to chase down the last scoring spot, but wound up 11th in the 24-woman field in a time of 16:09.10. Goethals dug across the line in fifth-place in 15:54.00.
"The 10k didn't go as I had hoped," said Goethals. "I went for it, so I have no regrets, but I was definitely upset afterwards because I invested so much into it, and just hit a wall. I was able to hold on for fourth so I was happy for that, but just the disappointment that comes with not being able to hit my goal. But today was light years better. Happy I was able to compete; that last 600 I was definitely feeling the 10k in my legs, but I was able to hold on."
Goethals added four points today to the five from Wednesday, bringing her two day total to nine points for Washington, as the Husky women are wrapped up for the week, currently sitting in 22nd-place. For her NCAA Outdoor career, Goethals is up to 20 team points, which is tied with Kate (Soma) Conwell for second in school history, behind the 21 points of Aretha (Hill) Thurmond. Goethals now has four All-America First Team honors in outdoor track, three All-America Second Team honors in indoor track, and a cross country All-America honor.
"This season I was really proud of my consistency, just consistently performing each meet, which is something I lacked in the past, so I'm really happy with how this season went," she said.
Earlier in the afternoon, senior Logan Miller was back in the NCAA Outdoor pole vault finals for the third year in a row, coming on strong late this spring after a foot injury forced her to redshirt the indoor season and had her off to a slow start outdoors. Last year at NCAAs, Miller made 14-3 ¼ to finish fourth, but she came into the meet today with a season-best of just 13-5 ¾. Miller had first attempt clearances at 12-9 ½ and 13-3 ½ to get her day off to a good start. She needed two attempts at the next bar, 13-7 ¼, but made it over for a new season-best. Moving up to 13-9 ¼ with the field cut in half at that point, Miller missed her first two tries, before summoning some clutch senior savvy to get up and over on her third try, again setting a season-best.
Miller was ninth at that point, still needing another clearance to score, but it was not to be at 13-11 ¼, as she had a near-miss on her third jump to bow out. The school record-holder finished 12th overall, and will earn All-America Second Team honors for the second time to go with her First Team honor last year. She was the only qualifier and top finisher out of the Pac-12 this year.
The last Huskies to bask in the sun on the Hayward infield this week will be the three javelin throwers, Joe Zimmerman, Jimmy Brookman, and Carson Fuller, who will compete tomorrow at 12:30 p.m.

Miami Dolphins: Reggie Bush says he's sticking with No. 22
Reggie Bush has worn No. 25 for all of his NFL career, but it seems he's retiring the number, which became available yesterday when the Miami Dolphins released veteran cornerback Will Allen.
I've been asked 6,000 times (not exaggerating either) if Bush plans to switch numbers, ditching 22 for 25.
I'm pleased to report to those who have already purchased No. 22 that your money has not been wasted. Bush said he's sticking with No. 22 for the second chapter of his NFL career, which will take place with the Dolphins.
"No, I'm not switching back to #25. I'm gonna keep 22," Bush said on his twitter account, @Reggie_Bush. "I think it represents change! Change can be a good thing! Let's go Dolphins."
For those wondering, I project Bush will account for about 1,400 yards of total offense in 2011 as the Dolphins' featured back, but only if he stays healthy for all 16 games.
A statistical study indicates Bush should contribute about 87 yards off offense per game this season.
He probably won't carry the ball more than 15 times a game, and won't be scoring many touchdowns in red zone work (fantasy warning). But I'd be shocked if he doesn't average four catches a contest, turning Chad Henne's check downs into a dangerous weapon in Brian Daboll's offense.
And I suspect there's a good chance Bush might lead all tailbacks in receptions since the Tony Sparano Dolphins have now become….boy is this hard to write….a pass-first offense.
So, what type of season are you expecting from this former Heisman Trophy winner?

text: The photo Alford took of the Police in 1983 came about after he and Andy Summers spent the day at Classic Camera, a shop on the East Side of Detroit. Summers bought an Italian-made camera from the 1960s shaped like a banana. At the shoot with the entire band later in the day, Summers left the camera around his neck for the photograph.

At that tournament he placed in a tie for 29th with a three round score of 225 (+9). Zaremba recorded two under-par rounds during the fall with his best round of 70 (-2) coming at the Colorado Invitational. He has finished in the top-25 of an event seven times in his career. Zaremba has competed in all 41 events for the Cowboys during his four year career.
2009-10 (Junior): Zaremba had an up-and-down junior season that was highlighted by finishing in the top 10 in two different events. He placed in the top-25 in four of five fall tournaments, but recorded just one top-25 finish in the spring. His best finish on the season came at the Air Force Falcon Invite, when his three round score of 214 (-2) earned him a tie for ninth place. Zaremba's next best finish came in the UW Desert Intercollegiate where he tied for 10th place (total score). In UW's other host event, the Cowboy Classic, he placed in a tie for 12th with a three round total of 213 (+3). He also finished under par in the Long Beach Del Walker Invite, where he tied for 21st with a 209 (-1). During the '09-10 season he carried the Cowboys second best stroke average at 73.73. Zaremba shot par or better in nine of his 33 rounds during the season. Along with teammates Henzlik and Maier, he earned a Cleveland Golf/Srixon All-American Scholar honor from the Golf Coaches Association of America. For the third consecutive season Zaremba was named Academic All-MWC for his play last season.
2008-09 (Sophomore): Zaremba was the most consistent player for the Cowboys during the 2008-09 season, holding UW's best stroke average at 74.75. He achieved his highest career finish during the first tournament of the fall, placing fourth in the Air Force Falcon Invite. He shot rounds of 71, 72 and 67 for a three-round total of 210 (-6). His second round 67 (-5) is his best career round as well as a tie for the fifth best round in Wyoming history. He also scored well in the San Diego State Sycuan Invite and finished the three-round event at even par, 216. He shot par or better in nine rounds during his sophomore season. He also continued to be an exceptional student and was named Academic All-Mountain West Conference for the second consecutive year.
2007-08 (Freshman): Zaremba was highly heralded coming into the Wyoming program as a freshman after he qualified in the summer of 2007 for the most prestigious amateur tournament in the country, the U.S. Amateur Championship. As a freshman at UW, Zaremba played in all 13 events and finished under par in two different tournaments. Zaremba had a season best sixth place finish at the Purple & Red Invite, shooting 141 (-3) over 36 holes, but recorded his lowest score at the Turtle Bay Invite where he finished at 212 (-4). At that event, he shot a final round of 68 (-4), his lowest of the season, and helped the Cowboys record the third-best team round in school history, 278 (-10), and the third-best team event total at UW, 859 (-5). On the season, Zaremba shot par or below seven different times. He was an Academic All-MWC selection.
High School: Zaremba won the 2006 Colorado 4A state championship as a senior at Pueblo West High School. He shot 73, 65 at the state tournament and took medalist honors by three strokes. On the road to his state title, Zach also won Regional and Conference championships, as well as All-State recognition. He led his team to Regional and Conference championships, and a second place finish at the state tournament. In 2005, Zaremba placed ninth individually at state. He was an excellent student who ranked in the top 20 of his class and was named three times to the Academic All-State First Team. In the summer of 2006 he placed first with a round of 70 at a CGA Pub Links event. His state championship earned Zaremba attention from several other schools, but he chose to attend Wyoming over Colorado State and Liberty University.
Personal: Zach is the only child of Mike and Susan Zaremba. He was born on May 31, 1988 in Pueblo. His father Mike played basketball and golf at CSU-Pueblo. Zach is majoring in business administration.

Although having first aid skills is preferable, there are ways for bystanders to help those who give first aid during an emergency, even if these bystanders have no first aid skills. Examples of such help might include:
- Calling 911 for an ambulance.
- Describing to the 911 operator the type of emergency, the number of victims, and any other questions the 911 operator needs to have answered in order to send the appropriate help.
- Going outside to guide the EMTs to the location of the victim.
- Gathering up empty containers and vomit for eventual analysis in the case of a poisoning victim.
- Keeping people from crowding too close to the victim and interfering with the rescue efforts.
- Helping to keep friends and family members of the victim calm.
- Setting up road flares or directing traffic safely around a road accident.
- Bringing a first aid kit to the person administering the first aid.
- Serving as a translator between the victim and the person administering the first aid.
- Helping a first aid administrator to assess the first aid emergency by telling her what happened just before the unconscious victim had the accident until the time that the first aid administrator began helping the victim.
- Following the instructions of the first aid administrator to help move the victim, if the first aid administrator believes a move is necessary.
- Following the instructions of the first aid administrator to help roll the victim on his side when he is vomiting.
During an emergency, a skilled first aid administrator will announce that he is trained. Once a bystander has this assurance, it is time for the bystander to become an obedient follower who will help the first aid administrator to be at his best. The bystander should follow the instructions of the skilled first aid administrator and also should carry out any of the above helpful activities as well.
Have you ever encountered and emergency when you were a first aid administrator or a helpful bystander? Please comment below.
