Brain's blood surge doesn't match activity
CONTRARY to popular belief, a rush of blood to a certain brain region is not always linked to neural activity there, a finding that may guide future brain scan experiments.
Functional MRI scans measure blood flow in the brain. Neuroscientists interpret this as a sign that neurons are firing, usually as someone performs a task or experiences an emotion. This enables them to link the emotion to the brain region where there was blood flow.
Now, Aniruddha Das from Columbia University in New York and colleagues have shown that blood flow can occur without accompanying neural activity. Das used separate techniques to measure blood flow and neural activity in the visual cortex of two macaques trained to carry out a visual task.
Sitting in darkness except for a light that switched on at regular intervals, the monkeys were trained to look away if it was red, and fix their gaze on the light if it shone green. When the timing of the pauses between the light flashes changed, blood flow still increased when the macaque expected a flash, but there was no subsequent increase in electrical activity from firing neurons (Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature07664). Das suspects that the brain sent the rush of blood in anticipation of the neurons' firing.
Christian Keysers from the BCN Neuroimaging Centre in Groningen, the Netherlands, does not believe the result is relevant to the design of previous fMRI experiments and so is unlikely to have an impact on their results. But Das says care needs to be taken in future to ensure that this misinterpretation does not lead to errors....

Not your ordinary chain hotelPosted 5-May-2016
Being a smaller boutique hotel allows Adara to add little touches that made my stay really comfortable and enjoyable. It's the only hotel I've stayed at with a french coffee press in the room and they supply JJ Bean coffee which I love. A martini shaker and wine glasses were also nice. Staff was exceptionally helpful as it was my first visit to Whistler.

Pleasant and roomy, convenient locationPosted 8-Apr-2016
Stayed in a loft for a week in March to get some spring riding in. Easy walk to the lifts, even in gear. Room was cute and modern, could have used a hot plate or microwave. The French press is a bit awkward with no kitchen sink. Gets a bit loud at night but you're in the middle of the village so no surprises. Staff was very friendly and helpful - not your seasonal workers typical in whistler. Accidentally left the leone light on in my truck and the manager was kind enough to give me a jump then a ride to town to buy a new battery when the old one couldn't be revived. I would recommend for anyone!

Three new Lebanese attacks linked to Hariri murder
The Hague: Three other attacks on Lebanese politicians are being linked to the 2005 murder of the country`s former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, the UN tribunal
investigating his death said on Friday.
"The pre-trial judge has established that there is a connection between those three cases and the February 14, 2005 attack," Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) spokesman Marten Youssef told a news agency.
The STL took jurisdiction of the three attacks relating to two Lebanese ex-ministers, who survived assassination attempts, Marwan Hamadeh and Elias Murr, as well as former Communist party head George Hawi, who was killed by a bomb blast on June 21, 2005.
"Judge (Daniel) Fransen ruled confidentially on 5 August, that the prosecutor had presented prima facie evidence that each of these cases are connected, and are thus within the tribunal`s jurisdiction," Youssef said.
The UN-backed court is tasked with identifying those behind Hariri`s assassination as well as a string of bombings between 2004 and 2005 that killed or wounded several anti-Syrian politicians or journalists.
Four members of the radical Syrian-backed Hezbollah movement have been indicted for the massive bomb attack on February 14, 2005, that killed Rafiq Hariri and 22 others.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (WJZ) — The search to find temporary homes for thousands of unaccompanied minor children continues. In Maryland, Governor Martin O'Malley met with religious leaders and community groups Monday.
Pat Warren reports the state is looking for ways to partner in a relief effort.
The United States has an immigration problem for which Governor O'Malley sees no easy fix.
"When parents in Honduras believe they have a better shot at protecting their child's life in Honduras than they do sending them on a dangerous trek across hundreds and hundreds of miles of deserts, then those kids are going to stop fleeing for their lives," he said.
So where do they go?
A proposed location in Westminster has been scrapped, along with one in Baltimore City. Catholic Charities' proposed placement of some 50 children at their St. Vincent's Villa in Baltimore County has Delegate Wade Kach requesting the Archbishop reconsider.
He writes, "If the Archdiocese persists in this plan, I strongly suggest at least two public information/input hearings be held. There are so many unanswered questions."
"For Catholic Charities, this is something we've done from the beginning with the history of the church in Baltimore. What started with immigrant children coming to the United States from Europe—many got here when their parents didn't make it," said Catholic Charities Executive Director Bill McCarthy.
Faith and community representatives are working to partner with the state.
"Remember, we are speaking about kids from three years old to 14 years old. They are kids," said Gustavo Torres, Casa de Maryland.
"All of us were united in this one mission, that we have to be compassionate," said Eugene Sutton, Diocese of Maryland Episcopal Church.
There will be another meeting on Monday.
According to the governor, 100 or more children have already been placed in homes in Maryland.

These were all taken at the local watering hole today. C&C welcome. These don't look quite sharp enough to me and I'm not sure about the brightness either. What's your opinion. Be brutal if you feel it is necessary. These were all taken with the E=510 and 12-60. The exif is imbedded.
I wanted the water lily but I was about to snap the shutter when the bee flew into the viewfinder.
This one looks a OOF to me. The wind was giving me fits.
This one looks a little harsh.

Product Description:
Liner Note Author: Edwin Pouncey.
Recording information: 08/12/1969/08/14/1969.
This fine twofer brings together a pair of albums by tenor and soprano saxophonist Archie Shepp--YASMINA, A BLACK WOMAN and POEM FOR MALCOLM, both from 1969. The dates find Shepp with plenty of the progressive conception and fiery playing that characterize his best avant-garde work. More notably, YASMINA marks Shepp's first meeting with members of the Chicago avant jazz scene, namely Lester Bowie and Roscoe Mitchell from the Art Ensemble of Chicago. There are several other guests here, including Philly Joe Jones and Hank Mobley, that make this exploratory set interesting. Jo Jones and Mobley appear on POEM as well, which offers up more of the leader's fierce, hectic out jazz.

In Brazilian industrial ethanol production processes, fermentation is conducted in very large tanks with high yeast cell densities. The fermentation must is composed of the yeast inoculum and either sugarcane juice, water-diluted molasses (a thick syrup that is a byproduct of sugar industry), or a mixture of both (Amorim et al., 2011). At the end of the fermentation cycle, which occurs over a period of 6-12 h, the yeast cells are returned to the fermentation tanks to begin a new cycle (Basso et al., 2008). Although this cell recycling offers particular advantages to Brazilian production processes by ensuring the best ethanol yield (Amorim et al. 2011), it also causes great stress on the yeast cells (Basso et al., 2008, 2011; Argueso et al., 2009).
The industrial process of bioethanol production is conducted under unsterile conditions that permit the influx of contaminating microorganisms, such as bacteria and indigenous yeast strains, the better adapted of which tend to predominate and usually outnumber the Saccharomyces cerevisiae population inoculated as the starter culture (Silva Filho et al., 2005b; Basso et al., 2008). These indigenous yeast strains can sometimes cause serious problems to the industrial process, including yield reduction, increased fermentation time and operational problems (Cabrini and Gallo, 1999). However, some highly productive native yeast strains that dominate the fermenter during the entire production season do permit efficient and stable fermentations and therefore could be suitable for initiating the industrial process in the subsequent harvest season (Stambuck et al., 2009). There has been a recent effort to identify long-lasting strains with high fermentation efficiency among indigenous strains, leading to the identification of the PE-2, BG-1, SA-1 and CAT-1 strains, which have been used as inocula in many Brazilian ethanol plants (Silva Filho et al., 2005a; Basso et al., 2008; Stambuck et al., 2009; Amorim et al., 2011; Andrietta et al., 2011).
Although recent studies have demonstrated that PE-2 and CAT-1 strains contain a highly heterogeneous genome (Argueso et al., 2009; Stambuck et al., 2009), further investigations are necessary to evaluate the genome complexity of other native strains. Proper strain identification of S. cerevisiae is a prerequisite to studying the diversity of this species and to monitoring population dynamics during the fermentation process (Ayoub et al., 2006). Many methods, such as chromosome karyotyping (Vezinhet et al., 1990; Kishimoto et al., 1994), mitochondrial DNA polymorphism (Querol et al., 1992; López et al., 2001; Santamaría et al., 2005), random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) (Lavallée et al., 1994; Pérez et al., 2001), genomic and mitochondrial DNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) (Querol et al., 1992), amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) (de Barros Lopes et al., 1998), ITS region amplification (Cappello et al., 2004) and microsatellite markers (Gallego et al., 1998; Field and Wills, 1998; González-Techera et al., 2001; Hennequin et al., 2001; Howell et al., 2004; Legras et al., 2005; Masneuf-Pomarède et al., 2007), have been used for such purposes with varying success.
The PCR microsatellite method is capable of discriminating strains, even when closely related strains are compared (Ayoub et al., 2006; Jubany et al., 2008). Given its reliability for S. cerevisiae strain identification (González-Techera et al., 2001; Legras et al., 2005), the PCR microsatellite method has been widely and successfully used for assessing wine fermentation populations (González-Techera et al., 2001; Masneuf-Pomarède et al., 2007; Vaudano and Garcia-Moruno, 2008). In the present study, 11 microsatellite loci were evaluated to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of native S. cerevisiae yeast strains that are present in industrial cachaça and bioethanol production processes in the liquor industry and various Brazilian sugar mills, respectively. The majority of the investigated industrial plants were located in São Paulo State.

The Brothers
- Studio: Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE)
- Release Date: Mar 23, 2001
Critic Reviews
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
A politically incorrect but often hilarious jam session, in which men and women trade insults like musical licks.
The movie's a mixed bag, but worth seeing for the good stuff, which is a lesson in how productive it can be to allow characters to say what they might actually say.
The pace is fast, many of the performers are attractive, and even the end-credits montage is zippier than usual.
A lively, affectionate and well-acted romantic comedy, takes a raunchy look at relationships from the black male perspective.
A feeling man's buddy story that's user-friendly to men and women alike.
What saves the film is the charm and earthy humor the actors wring from the spectacle of these four guys getting an early jump on their midlife crises.
Overall, The Brothers is glossy fun, but it should have given us more ideas and energy.

Today, I'm recovering in the emergency room. How did I get here? Intoxicated at a coed party, I saw a hole in the host's shed and thought it funny to christen it a "glory-hole", only to be bitten by what may well have been a black widow spider. FML

Today, my friends and I were playing truth or dare game. It was late and we were drunk, so they dared me to run naked into my neighbor's yard while yelling, "Help! The pixies took my penis!" I ran screaming right into their big family reunion. FML

Today, I accidentally bumped into another car on the road. The worst of the damage was a slight chip to the other driver's paint, but she played it up so much that she ended up being taken away in an ambulance. I'm now terrified that the crazy bitch is going to sue me. FML

Today, while dog sitting my neighbor's Great Dane, I decided to order pizza. As soon as I received it, the dog stood in the hallway staring at me. As soon as I moved, he ran full force and knocked me into the door, causing me to fall and drop the pizza, which he promptly devoured in front of me. FML

When cancer takes the lives of three siblings in one family, it's hard to imagine how surviving family members cope. For sisters Jennie Firth Sheridan and Katy Firth, they found hope by taking action – speci?cally, by raising funds for cancer research.
Presented by the Bread Basket, the annual Ride For Life bike ride begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, June 7, at the Mountain Arts Community Center, 809 Kentucky Ave. on Signal Mountain. The event features 10- and 30-mile courses that take cyclists through Signal Mountain's historic Old Town district and town of Walden, while offering views of Chattanooga from Signal Mountain's brow.
Proceeds from the event will support the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Claudia Adams Barr Program in Innovative Basic Cancer Research. This program enables researchers at the "leading edge of scienti?c technology work to achieve better cure rates and to enhance patients' quality of life."
For the Firth Family and their many friends, this cause is personal. Sheridan and Firth lost their sister Mary Firth to melanoma in 2011. She was 35 years old. In 2008, brain cancer took the life of their sister, Molly Hooper at age 36, and their brother John Firth, at age 32 in 2009.
Ride For Life was Mary Firth's vision – her way of helping her sisters raise funds for cancer research. Since 2011, the event has raised nearly $38,000 for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
For updates and more information, go online at www.begoodbestrongride.com or "LIKE" the event's Facebook page: Ride For Life. Be Good. Be Strong.
Ride For Life is made possible through the generosity of its sponsors – The Bread Basket, Tennessee Interventional Associates, Ben Parker Co., Maxi Auto Service, Farmer+Brown, Horton, Ballard & Pemerton Attorneys at Law, Baker Donelson, P.C., Buhrman Law Firm, P.C., Estes Equipment Inc., Fancy Rhino, John H. Daniel, Mountain Arts Community Center, Pruett's Signal Mountain Market, Scenic City Photography, Suck Creek Cycle, Track 29, Tubatomic, and Yogi's Primo Promo.

Oh god our sink is a cavalcade of horrors. Brb sacrificing a goat and putting everything in the dishwasher forever
Send us your Text From Last Night!
I miss college girls! You know how depressing it is to fuck 30 year olds? That's what failure feels like
Also- bikini mowing was a horrible idea. One truck just drove by 3 times, turning around at the end of the block each time. My tan may be better for it but my conscience has been raped.
He went THROUGH MY PHONE (he's 30 for God sake) then asked me why I was stringing along 12 guys... I told him he could have just asked me if I was banging other people and then saved himself from looking at pics of dicks bigger than his.
All you need to do now is invest in a Speedo and start going door to door.
I don't remember much but I think I'm wearing your underwear, and for that, I am extremely grateful.
So what do normal people wear to parties? Normal meaning not you.
You wear an inflatable farm animal to TWO THEMED PARTIES and I never get to hear the end of it...
It's ok, I like adventure. Just ask my vagina.
I need a Jamo leash. Just tie it to my wrist and every time you see me reaching for a shot of it, just yank my hand away
I think that was him coming out to me. I just brushed it off
Just because you can put your penis in it does not make it "good stuff".
Lucas & I had a photo shoot with her cape & I had child arm floaties on most the night.. woke up in a spiderman bed
Yea he doesn't really know about any of this yet but my game plan is to keep wowing him with my vagina and cooking skills. It's up too future me to handle the rest.
To be so small, the mini-horses are exceptionally aggressive. And fast. Very, very fast.
Abort! Abort! He almost bit off a finger!
I'm stealing this baby.
Well I always support illegal activity but where would you put it?
You told her dad that you were gonna "superman that ho" I love the first impressions you make
Hold on I'm doing something revolutionary that blossomed from a high idea
Why did the fire extinguisher taste lemony?
Highlight of the week: I had sex with a B movie star wearing an eye patch.
The trainer from the tech college told me that I would pass the first aid course so long as I turned up sober. Challenge accepted
Fun fact: I don't want to be an actual functioning adult because why
Power went out. She lit a candle and gave me head. Made some pretty impressive candlelight cocksucking shadowpuppets. Must be what porn was like in olden times.
Thought it only fitting this Jubilee weekend to snort lines with a 50 note
Your patriotism amazes me, the Queen would be proud!
Haha yeah this costume is worse than I imagined. I look more like a gothic hooker who caters specifically to creepy men with doll fetishes
He said you stopped mid-fuck, called fives on his dick, walked out to grab another drink, and came back.
I told my dad my stomach hurt and he bet me ten bucks I couldn't throw up on command. He has no idea what I did last night and I got ten bucks.
That's actually a fantastic idea... The kinky sex dungeon will be vastly improved by the addition of a lightsaber
Even with having the shower running and music on everyone could hear the alcohol gods making me sacrifice my dignity and meals from the past week.

Tommy Jordan's "tough love" parenting style has polarised the internet but despite a visit from police and child protection services - and having to chase TV crews off his lawn - he says he'd do it all again in a heartbeat, except wearing a different hat.
The eight-minute video of Jordan shooting his snarky 15-year-old daughter Hannah's laptop in response to her Facebook rant about being a "slave" to chores has been viewed around 22 million times on YouTube.
The reaction has been mixed between those who idolise Jordan for doing what many parents wish they could do, to others including parenting experts who say Jordan is setting a bad example and could give his daughter self-esteem issues.
On his Facebook page, Jordan, who has declined all interviews, has been assuring his many fans that he is no "hero" or "super dad" and, despite many requests, no, he will not be running for President.
He said if he had the option to do it all again, he'd do it "almost the same" except this time he wouldn't be smoking a cigarette (his wife hates them) and would be wearing a different hat and clean boots.
Jordan said he had been visited by police and child protection services - "they received enough 'oh my god he's going to kill his daughter' comments that they had to" - but they expressed no qualms.
"The police by the way said 'Kudos Sir' and most of them made their kids watch it," he said.
"How about those apples? Didn't expect THAT when you called the cops did you?"
Jordan said a "nice lady" from child protection services looked through his house and interviewed his daughter and found nothing to be concerned about. His guns were unloaded and stored securely in their rack - and Jordan says he even got some parenting tips out of the visit.
Jordan on Facebook railed against today's youth who he says are "self entitled, adverse to working and basically have no usable skills taught to them in schools". He said modern parenting raises ill-prepared kids "who can't do anything and have no skills because they're protected from even learning them until 18".
On YouTube, Jordan's video was accompanied by a warning to other kids: "If you're so disrespectful to your parents and yourself as to post this kind of thing on Facebook, you're deserving of some tough love. Today, my daughter is getting a dose of tough love."
University of California professor of psychology Alison Gopnik appears to agree with Jordan. Writing in The Wall Street Journal in an article titled "What's wrong with the teenage mind?", Gopnik wrote that in more primitive times childhood education involved formal and informal apprenticeship and kids learned skills needed to accomplish their goals as adults. But today's kids, she said, gain little experience beyond going to school.
Each of Jordan's Facebook posts has hundreds, if not thousands of comments largely from fans of his parenting style. He has used his newfound fame to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and promote his own IT projects.
The media interest has been intense with camera crews visiting his house at all hours. "I just had a friend run Good Morning America off my lawn ... grr," Jordan wrote in one Facebook post.
Jordan also claims US TV network CBS offered him his own show but he turned them down.
He also complained about impostors who had been posing as him online and chatting to people, while threatening legal action against those "illegally duplicating the video".
But Jordan himself acknowledged that it was impossible to put the genie back in the bottle. There are now scores of responses, remixes and even a cartoon version of his rant on YouTube.
Social media expert Thomas Tudehope said the case was a stark reminder of the permanent and public nature of social networking sites. "A Facebook rant is there for all to see," he said.

Welcome winter! REEF is pleased to bring you the final monthly installment of REEF-in-Brief in 2007. Our biggest announcement is the completion of the biological monitoring of the U.S.S Spiegel Grove, the largest intentional artificial reef when it was sunk in Key Largo, Florida in 2002. Also in this issue, learn about the new online data entry interface for the West Coast survey region and how to get more out of the new REEF website. Finally, we'll close out the year with some pictures from the recent Holiday Open House at REEF HQ and invite you to join us on a REEF Field Survey trip in 2008.
Many thanks to all who have made donations toward an ambitious fall fundraising goal of $100,000. REEF could not continue its critical conservation projects without your support (if we haven't heard from you yet, please click here to make a secure, tax-deductible donation online). Many thanks as well for everyone's e-patience as REEF grows its online fundraising capacity. We recognize that your
inbox and email time are limited resources and sincerely appreciate the opportunity to request your assistance in strengthening REEF citizen science programs.
The REEF family sends you best wishes and best fishes for a happy, healthy start to the new year. We'll look forward to working with you in 2008, officially designated the International Year of the Reef. It's bound to be a good year . . .
The 17th Great Annual Fish Count (GAFC) is just around the corner. While REEF staff updates the event website, www.fishcount.org, we are asking our field stations and partners to begin planning their 2008 GAFC activities.
Events can be as simple as gathering a group of local divers for a one-day dive and a covered-dish party for after. Or, schedule a huge blow out to introduce more people from your town to what a difference can be made when you do more than just blow bubbles while diving. The latter could include Fish ID seminars, counting challenges, a planned picnic and whatever else you can dream up to gather a crowd and show them the fun of fish-watching.
Whatever you choose to do, please don't forget to register your event with REEF by clicking here. Or give us a call at 305-852-0030. For more information, please contact email@example.com
As any veteran fish surveyor is well aware, dive travel is the spice of fishwatching. No matter how many dives you've made, or how many species you've recorded a visit to a new destination will send you scurrying for your ID books. That was certainly the case during back-to-back REEF Field Surveys held in St. Vincent during early August. During the two weeks, 40 sets of eyes ferreted out 261 different fish species, many rare, many first-time sightings, and a few that still have the trip leaders Paul Humann and Ned DeLoach scratching their heads.
Tucked away in the distant reaches of the southeastern Caribbean, the towering volcanic island is not only home to a hearty population of Caribbean fishes, but also harbors a scattering of novel species that ride the currents north from Brazil. Add to this, pumice sand and freshwater runoff (a combination that tends to attract exotic creatures), a variety of underwater habitats ranging from bold boulder and coral seascapes, to thick sea grass meadows, and protected bays bottomed with fine sediment and scattered algae patches, fondly known as muck. Oh yeah, add one more dynamic to the amazing mix, the group's host Bill Tewes, owner of Dive St. Vincent, and his eagle-eyed dive guides. In dive parlance, Bill is a critter hunter extraordinaire. After exploring the island's undersea riches for 25 years, his infectious enthusiasm for the hunt won't allow him to miss a dive, and the man certainly loves to show off his animals.
So what were some of the highlights of the week? For starters: a single dive to a clearwater site, known as the Pinnacle, revealed not one, not two, but six cryptic Black Brotula. A plunge to 110 feet on the Wall, uncovered Yellowcheek Basslet, Three-lined Basslet and Cave Bass hiding under a ledge. On their way up the surveyors spotted a Golden Hamlet, Bridled Burrfish, and during their safety stop a flashy red fin of a perky little Red Banner Blenny caught their eyes.
But as good as the reefs and wall are the majority of the team's treasures were discovered in the muck – the seldom-dived otherworldly realm where Bill's fishwatching prowess shines. Let's begin in the shallows where the team found, along with a long list of more common species, clingfishes, Longsnout and Lined Seahorses, a Striated Frogfish, Shortnose Batfish, an assortment of pipefish, seldom-seen pipehorses, and about every species of snake eel you've ever heard of, and some you haven't. As the seemingly barren bottom angled down Jackknifefish, Spotfin Goby, Dwarf Sand Perch and tiny Blackear Bass appeared. If you continued to 90 feet an uncommon sighting of a juvenile Snowy Bass could be made.
One would be remiss without mentioning a few spectacular St. Vincent invertebrates including, the Atlantic Longarm Octopus, the rare Brownstripe Octopus, skeleton shrimp, and a spectacular Red Banded Lobster.
Did we mention Blackfin Cardinalfish, Whitemouth Croaker, Snakefish, Cornetfish, Cardinal Soilderfish, Flying Gurnard, and pikeblennies? Whew, have to stop somewhere, this is REEF-in-Brief you know. You'll just have to contact one of the lucky participants for more details.
A gallery of all images linked from this article can be found here.
With the rapid expansion of lionfish into the Caribbean, downstream and recently invaded countries are starting to gear up for early detection and rapid response efforts. REEF is leading the way with in-country workshops focused on increasing awareness and training both fisheries and dive operators in collecting and handling techniques. The week of January 25th-31st was spent working with the Department of Environment and Coastal Resources (DECR) in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Starting in Grand Turk, we hit the ground running and less than an hour after landing, DECR officer Jodi Johnson and I had covered collecting and handling techniques and had our first 2 lionfish in the bag. Things did not slow down. Two days in Grand Turk followed by two days in Provo and a day in South Caicos resulted in 7 seminars to well over 150 people, 6 collecting training dives, over 40 lionfish collected and an evening lionfish tasting at Smokey's on the Beach in Provo. Media coverage of the effort was also prominent with local TCI Channel 4 running a feature segment on the issue. The workshop was a huge success with both dive operators and government officials now moving forward in combined efforts to control and minimize impacts of lionfish.
In separate upcoming events, Bonaire, Cayman Islands, Cozumel and Belize are also bringing REEF in to conduct lionfish workshops this spring and early summer. The goals of these programs are to build capacity for local communities and governments to be able to enact early detection and rapid response measures and increase public awareness of the issue.
For more information on in-country workshops, contact Lad Akins. email@example.com (305) 852-0030. Report sightings of invasive lionfish through REEF's online sightings form.
This is YOUR chance to turn a donation of $10 into much more for REEF. America's Giving Challenge is a 30-day competition (ends November 6th) that allows causes such as REEF to compete for cash awards by inspiring the most people to donate to their cause. We are asking all of our members to donate $10 (or more) online here sometime before the Challenge ends -- ideally on one of two target dates, Friday October 16th or Saturday October 24. If REEF is a challenge winner (meaning we receive the highest number, not amount, of donations) on any given day, we will be awarded $1,000.
The Challenge is administered through Causes on Facebook. However, anyone can donate -- you do not have to be on Facebook to donate. Click here to visit REEF's Cause. If you are on Facebook, we encourage you to invite your friends to support and donate to the cause as well. The objective of the Challenge is to enable passionate individuals and nonprofit organizations to easily leverage their social networks to increase awareness about their causes and attract people to get and stay involved with causes they care about. By encouraging people to give what they can-no matter how big or small, the Challenge seeks to demonstrate the potential of social networks to bring real people together to make a significant impact.
Participants in the Challenge will compete for daily and overall cash awards of up to $50,000 for the nonprofit organizations they care most about. Awards will be distributed based on the number of qualifying donations generated for a cause, not the total dollars raised. A unique daily donation is defined as one single donation per individual per day in the amount of $10 USD or more. Individuals can donate to the same cause once a day everyday during the Challenge and this would count 30 times towards helping the cause receive an Overall Award. This would also count towards the Daily Award for that cause every day. To find out more about America's Giving Challenge and Causes, visit the Causes website.
If even 10% of REEF's members donated to our Cause before the end of the Challenge, we would most certainly make it in the award category. So please go online and show your support for REEF's marine conservation work. We hope we can count on you!
Please go to REEF's Cause page -- donate $10 (or more) -- ideally on one of two target dates, Friday October 16th or Saturday October 24. Thank You!
West Coast Dive Shows - Visit REEF next month at SCUBA 2010 show in Long Beach (CA) on May 15-16 and the Dive & Travel Expo in Tacoma (WA) on May 22-23. REEF staff and volunteers will be there to tell you about our latest activities, have REEF gear and supplies for sale, and sign up new members.
New Field Stations - Welcome to our newest Field Stations who have joined us in the last month. Field Stations are shops, charters, instructors and organizations that support REEF in many ways - offering classes, REEF survey opportunities, stocking survey supplies, etc. For more information and to check out the other 170+ REEF Field Stations, go to the Field Station page on the REEF website.
Check out the REEF Online Store - This is the place to get all of your REEF gear, survey supplies, lionfish collection kits, and field guidebooks. The REEF Store is online here.
We are pleased to present a preview of the 2011 REEF Field Survey Schedule to our valued members. Destinations include many exciting locations that offer great diving and prime fishwatching experiences, including the San Blas Islands in Panama, Saba, Hawaii, and for the first time, a South Pacific destination -- Fiji! These trips offer a great introduction to fish identification for novice fishwatchers, and are a fun way for experienced surveyors to build their life list while interacting with fellow fishwatchers. REEF staff, board members, and other REEF instructors lead these trips, and each features daily classroom seminars and a full diving schedule.
Our travel consultants at Caradonna Dive Travel are finalizing many of the trip details, and the full schedule with prices and package information will be posted on the REEF Trips website in the coming weeks. We hope that this early preview will allow you to start planning your REEF dive travel. Some of these trips will sell out quickly, so if you are interested in reserving your spot, or being on a list to find out more, contact Caradonna today at 1-877-295-7333 (REEF), or via e-mail email@example.com. They can also handle your airfare.

REEF is proud to partner with over 130 dive shops, dive clubs, individuals, and other organizations as REEF Field Stations.
The Cape Eleuthera Institute (CEI), a marine research facility, is located at the south end of Eleuthera in the Bahamas. Much like REEF, CEI realizes the importance of collaboration and encourages students, visitors, and community members alike to partake in ongoing scientific research with the overarching goal of marine conservation.
CEI works closely and shares facilities with the Island School, a semester abroad program for high-school students. All of the research programs that operate out of CEI teach a project-specific research class each semester to the students. REEF surveys have been successfully incorporated into a number of these projects. Most notably, the Patch Reef Ecology project uses REEF surveys for long-term monitoring of fish communities that are resident to the network of patch reefs in Rock Sound, the vast, watery, "backyard" of CEI. REEF surveys have been used to collect reef fish species and abundance data for this project for nearly a decade now! Students assisting with the data collection learn Caribbean reef fish ID skills and become well versed in the REEF Roving Diver Method. All data collected by students are contributed to the REEF database and available for use by others.
Most of the reefs that are surveyed by students are located in shallow waters adjacent to mangrove creek habitat. These reefs are small, isolated coral heads that provide important transitional habitat for many reef species that begin their life in mangroves and eventually head to deep water to reproduce. Due to their location and abundance, these reefs are easy to access and make great project sites for conducting research. In fact, Lad Akins, REEF's Director of Special Projects, and Stephanie Green of Simon Frasier University, are conducting a long-term research project monitoring lionfish impacts on reef fish communities using a network of these shallow scattered patch reefs. Skylar Miller, employed by both REEF and CEI and based in Eleuthera, is responsible for monthly data collection for this important project.

D600 trade-in price ouch!
Dec 18, 2013
Not had my D600 long but have the chance at a D800 for reasonable money and so enquired as to a trade-in price.
My camera is 10 weeks old and has 5K shots on it. I was knocked back when offered £700!!
I expected to drop some but that was too much. Will have the let the D800 go as no way can I afford to take such a hit.
