(Redirected from Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker)
Metal Gear is a series of video games by Konami Computer Entertainment. The Metal Gear series centers around Solid Snake, a genetically engineered soldier. As a member of an elite task force FOXHOUND, Snake penetrated and destroyed several terrorist organizations, including one led by Big Boss, his genetic father.
Further adventures involve his disarming a nuclear crisis on a remote island in Alaska (and killing his genetic brother in doing so), and helping, as a part of his NGO, Philanthropy, to document and eradicate Metal Gears, including Arsenal Gear, a supercenter for information and warfare built in the New York Harbor by the Patriots.

Metal Gear (1987)[edit]
- Big Boss / Venom Snake: Solid Snake! I've been expecting you... I am the supreme commander of the FOXHOUND unit... And... The leader of the fortress of Outer Heaven, Big Boss! I gave this mission to you, a rookie, thinking I could use you to fool the rest of the world... But you were too good. You went too far! Solid Snake! I'm not going down alone. I'm taking you with me! Prepare to die!
- Solid Snake: This is Solid Snake... Metal Gear has been destroyed. Operation Intrude N313 was a success! No big deal, job done, that's all... No big deal... I'm coming back now... OVER
- Big Boss: ...can you hear me? Solid Snake... I'm not dead... Someday, I'll get even with you. Someday... we will meet again!
Snake's Revenge (1990)[edit]
- [Intro text]
Lt. Snake, we received information from our intelligence man at the enemy's base. They have a weapon. Is it Metal Gear, which you destroyed 3 years ago? Go to the enemy base with 2 men. The pilot knows the route.
- Big Boss: You destroyed Metal Gear 1 and made me a cyborg. Now I want revenge.
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake (1990)[edit]
- Big Boss: The nightmares? They never go away, Snake. Once you've been on the battlefield, tasted the exhilaration, the tension... it all becomes part of you. Once you've awakened the warrior within... it never sleeps again. You crave ever bigger tensions, ever bigger thrills. As a mercenary, I'd think you would have realized that by now. You care nothing for power, or money, or even sex. The only thing that satisfies your cravings is war! All I've done is give you a place for it. I've given you a reason to live.
Metal Gear Solid (1998)[edit]
- Naomi Hunter: Genes exist to pass down our hopes and dreams for the future through our children. Living is a link to the future. That's how all life works. Loving each other, teaching each other... that's how we can change the world. I finally realized it. The true meaning of life...
- Gray Fox / Frank Jaeger: We're not tools of the government or anyone else! Fighting was the only thing... the only thing I was good at, but... At least I always fought for what I believed in...
- Otacon / Hal Emmerich: The whole reason I got into science in the first place was because I was no good with people. I was scared of them. I was scared of life. I thought that I could never understand them because they're so illogical. But I've finally learned how to like people. I'm not afraid anymore.
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (2001)[edit]
- Solid Snake: Life isn't just about passing on your genes. We can leave behind much more than just DNA. Through speech, music, literature and movies... what we've seen, heard, felt... anger, joy and sorrow... these are the things I will pass on. That's what I live for. We need to pass the torch, and let our children read our messy and sad history by its light. We have all the magic of the digital age to do that with. The human race will probably come to an end some time, and new species may rule over this planet. Earth may not be forever, but we still have the responsibility to leave what traces of life we can. Building the future and keeping the past alive are one and the same thing.
- Solidus Snake/George Sears: Jack, listen to me. We're all born with an expiration date. No one lasts forever. Life is nothing but a grace period - for turning our genetic material into the next generation. The data of life is transferred from parent to child. That's how it works. But we have no heirs, no legacy. Cloned from our father, with the ability to reproduce conveniently engineered out. What is our legacy if we cannot pass the torch? Proof of our existence - a mark of some sort. When the torch is passed on from parent to child... it extends beyond DNA; information is imparted as well. All I want is to be remembered. By other people, by history. The Patriots are trying to protect their power, their own interests, by controlling the digital flow of information. I want my memory, my existence to remain. Unlike an intron of history, I will be remembered as an exon. That will be my legacy, my mark on history. But the Patriots would deny us even that, I will triumph over the Patriots, and liberate us all. And we will become the "Sons of Liberty"!
- Otacon: Snake, you there? It's me. I've finished going over that disc.
- Snake: Did you find the Patriots' list?
- Otacon: Of course. It contains the personal data of 12 people. There was a name on it—Snake, it was one of our biggest contributors.
- Snake: What's going on around here?
- Otacon: I don't know...
- Snake: ...Anyway, where are they?
- Otacon: Well, we were right about them being on Manhattan, but...
- Snake: But what?
- Otacon: They're already dead. All 12 of them.
- Snake: When did it happen?
- Otacon: Well, ah... about a hundred years ago.
- Snake: What the hell...
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (2004)[edit]
- The Boss: What about you, Jack? What's it going to be? Loyalty to your country, or loyalty to me? Your country, or your old mentor? The mission, or your beliefs? Your duty to your unit, or your personal feelings? You don't know the truth yet. But sooner or later you'll have to choose.
- Snake: You're pretty good.
- [EVA explains herself in audiotape to Snake]
- EVA: Snake, listen to me. She didn't betray the United States. No, far from it. She was a hero who died for her country. She carried out her mission knowing full well what was going to happen. Self-sacrifice... because that was her duty.
- [Snake is being honoured at the White House]
- Lyndon B. Johnson: You are above even the Boss... I hereby award you the title of Big Boss. You are a true patriot. [Snake shakes Johnson's hand and walks out, past army officials and his team, without fanfare]
- Unnamed bureaucrat: You know, we could use an infiltration unit like FOX in the army. Someone like him to handle our top-secret sneaking missions for us: a man who combines the qualities of a soldier and an agent.
- EVA: The Boss' defection was a ruse set up by the US government. It was all a big drama staged by Washington so they could get their hands on the Philosopher's Legacy, and the Boss was the star of the show. They planned it so that they could get the Legacy that Colonel Volgin inherited and destroy the Shagohod at the same time. Only a legendary hero like The Boss could have earned Volgin's trust. Finding out where the Philosopher's Legacy was hidden was to be her greatest mission. Everything was going according to plan... but then something happened that no one could have predicted. Colonel Volgin fired an American-made nuclear warhead at Sokolov's research facility. Khrushchev demanded that the US government provide proof that it wasn't involved. They couldn't just abort the operation to steal the Legacy, so the operation itself was greatly expanded and revised. The authorities in Washington knew that in order to prove its innocence they'd have to get rid of The Boss and that one of their own would have to do the job. The public couldn't be allowed to find out about it, not ever. This, they concluded, would be the best way to keep the whole thing under wraps. The Boss wouldn't be allowed to come back home alive. And she wouldn't be allowed to kill herself. Her life would be ended by her most beloved disciple... that was the way the government wanted it. That was the mission she was given. And she had no choice but to carry it out... her death at your hands was a duty she had to fulfill. Out of duty, she turned her back on her own comrades. A lesser woman would have been crushed by such a burden. [Snake walks through a cemetery with a bunch of flowers] The taint of disgrace will follow her to her grave. Future generations will revile her: In America, as a despicable traitor with no sense of honor; and in Russia, as a monster who unleashed a nuclear catastrophe. She will go down in official history as a war criminal, and no one will ever understand her... that was her final mission. And like a true soldier, she saw it through the end. But I think she wanted you, of all people to know the truth. She wanted to live on in your memory. Not as a soldier, but as a woman. But... she was forbidden to tell you herself. And that's why she told me. [Snake puts his flowers and the Patriot by a headstone marked "In memory of a patriot who saved the world: 192?-1964"] Snake, history will never know what she did. No one will ever learn the truth. Her story, her debriefing... will endure only in your heart. [tearfully] Everything she did, she did for her country. She sacrificed her life and her honor for her native land. She was a real hero. She was a true patriot. [A tearful Snake salutes the headstone].
Metal Gear Acid (2004)[edit]
- Hans: [to Snake] Are you familiar with the term "doppelganger"? Everyone has two personalities in them. One of them a persona for everyday public life, and the other the exact opposite. The personality lurking in one's subconscious is referred to as the "Shadow" in psychological terms. The Shadow negates its symmetrical opposite, the "Light" persona, and in some cases grows to the same level. If it manages to grow large enough, it takes on its own shape, separates from the body, and can walk around on its own. And that, my friend, is why we're both here.
- La Clown: If I die here, it means I'm not the hero. The hero is supposed to survive to the end. So... I guess that makes me the villain. The villain is always supposed take the hero's side right before dying.
- Alice: The Children of Hamelin looked up to you as a hero. You were a man created by those in power, and performed mighty works for them. The Legendary Hero -- Solid Snake. That's what we were always taught. [...] Our pledge was, "May me someday be great like the honorable and mighty Snake."
Metal Gear Acid 2 (2005)[edit]
- Lucy: You're a cloned soldier -- patterned after the legendary Solid Snake. We recovered his body from Lobito Island, and created you through a fusion of his cells and our data. You were our Model 3, Snake.
- Venus: Don't worry about Snake. He's been to hell and back. He's a survivor, you know. Always has been, always will be.
Takiyama: ...
Venus: He'll be just fine. I'm always right about these things.
- Dalton: What do you plan to do once your wounds heal up? Got any ideas?
Snake: No plans. Just a personal goal.
Dalton: And what would that be?
Snake: To keep on living. All this time, I've been searching for my past. And now I know that I don't have one. I was manufactured in a lab. I'm not even a real human. I've got no past, and might not have much of a future. Nothing. But I'm alive. I was made to be a weapon. And I don't have squat to my name. But... as long as there's air in my lungs and blood in my veins, I'm gonna live. Right?
Dalton: You're half right. You're way off about having nothing, though.
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops (2006)[edit]
- Naked Snake/Big Boss It was four years ago, in Mozambique. There was a child soldier fighting with a guerrilla group in the struggle for independence. He killed dozens of government soldiers with just a single knife. He'd throw the enemy off guard with the innocent frankness of a young boy. Then he'd prey on them with the cold cruelty of a hunter. He spoke a little German so his enemies called him, "Frank Jaeger"... the frank hunter.
- [Gene addresses soldiers]
- Gene: Soldiers, hear my words! The Cold War will soon be over. For the United States and the Soviet Union no longer have the strength or authority to shape the world as they seem fit. Even as America sinks deeper into the quagmire of the Vietnam War, her allies in the West have achieved tremendous economic growth. And with the collapse of its planned economy, Russia can no longer keep up with the financial demands of her vast army. But the end of the Cold War does not mean that peace will follow. Freed from the domination of the world's superpowers, nationalism will soon be the driving force behind global politics. And the ever-widening gap between rich and poor will fan the flames of hatred between nations. Nuclear weapons will slip from the superpowers' grasp and spread throughout the world. Soon no one will know when or where the nukes will come from. Today's ally may be tomorrow's bitter enemy. Or worse: the time may come when soldiers of the same country will kill their brothers, just like you are now. Who of you can say that tomorrow you won't be aiming your rifles at your neighbors? Your comrades? Your families? Is there no one who has a grudge against you? No one who mocks you? No one who really needs you? Is there truly no one out there who would kill you? One of my men is standing amongst you right now. His instructions are to kill you - for your betrayal. Your enemy is standing right beside you. [points at individual soldiers] Is it you?... Or perhaps you?... This planet is like a giant bomb. See how easily it blows itself to bits with a single nuclear warhead. Or rather, a single bullet. [laughs] There he is... It's the enemy!
- Null: Why are you still alive? I used to get dreams, about my comrades. They would save me with strong arms and laughing voices. When I woke up from these dreams, I had nothing. No joy, no sorrow, no hatred, no memory. When I woke up from the darkness, all I saw were the bodies of men I've killed, lying in front of me. I know. Everyone dies. Crime. Disease. Accidents. War. No matter how good a man you are, no matter how good a soldier, there are no exceptions. Even if I don't kill them, they die. This world is full of death and yet you won't be killed. Why? Why do you still live? What do you hope to accomplish by living?
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (2008)[edit]
- Old Snake: War has changed. It's no longer about nations, ideologies or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines. War, and its consumption of life, has become a well-oiled machine. War has changed. ID tagged soldiers carry ID tagged weapons, use ID tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control. Information control. Emotion control. Battlefield control. Everything is monitored, and kept under control. War has changed. The age of deterrence has become the age of control. All in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction. And he who controls the battlefield, controls history. War has changed. When the battlefield is under total control, war... becomes routine.
- Liquid Ocelot: This is only the beginning, Snake. America will descend into chaos... It'll be the Wild West all over again. No law, no order. Fire will spread across the world. The people will fight... and through battle, they will know the fullness of life. At last... our father's will... his Outer Heaven... is complete.
- Revolver Ocelot: You're pretty good...
- Big Boss: Everything has its beginning. But doesn't start at "one." It starts long before that, in chaos. The world is born... from zero. The moment zero becomes one is the moment the world springs to life. One becomes two, two becomes ten, ten becomes 100. Taking it all back to one solves nothing. So long as Zero remains, one... will eventually grow to 100 again. And so our goal was to erase Zero. Even the mighty Patriots began with a single man. That one man's desires grew huge, bloated; absorbed technology; began to manipulate the economy. We realized too late that we had created a beast. We had helped turn Zero into 100. His sin... was ours. And for that reason, I'm taking it upon myself to send Zero... back to nothing. [...] It's not about changing the world. It's about doing our best to leave the world the way it is. It's about respecting the will of others and believing in your own. [...] Zero and I... Liquid and Solidus... We all fought a long, bloody war for our liberty to free ourselves from systems, nations, norms and ages, but no matter how hard we fought, the only liberty we found was on the inside, trapped within those limits... The Boss and I may have taken different paths but in the end, we were both trapped inside the same cage... "Liberty." But you have been given freedom. Freedom to be... Outside.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker (2010)[edit]
- Paz: In school I also learned that peace is an unnatural state for human society. And that war is a constant threat to our relationship with others.
Snake/Big Boss: That's right.
Paz: So, to achieve peace, we have to create it ourselves. Crying about it won't bring it about, or make it last. Each one of us must go and seek it out.
Snake/Big Boss: You won't find it without making sacrifices. No offense, but I don't know what peace is. Never felt what it's like. Never even been interested in it.
- Snake/Big Boss: [to Amanda] There's always another reason to keep on living.
- Snake/Big Boss: Chico, growing up means choosing how you're gonna live your life. [...] Treasure your memories, Chico. No matter what happens, keep them safe. [...] Nothing to be ashamed of. Pain gets the better of us all. [...] Remember, real heroes are never as polished as the legends that surround them.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (2013)[edit]
- Senator Armstrong: Played college ball, ya know.
Raiden: At some cushy Ivy League school.
Senator Armstrong: [Headbutts Raiden and pulls his visor off] Try University of Texas. Coulda gone pro if I hadn't joined the Navy! I'm not one of those beltway pansies. I could break the president in two… with my bare hands. Don't fuck with this senator!
[He kicks Raiden into the air like a football, cueing inexplicable cheering in the background]
- Senator Armstrong: [To Raiden] Alright...the truth, then. You're right about one thing -- I do need Capital, And Votes! Wanna know why?! "I have a dream"!
Raiden: What...?
Senator Armstrong: That one day, every person in this nation will control their own destiny! A land of the truly free dammit! A nation of action not words -- ruled by strength not committee! Where the law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around! Where power and justice are in back where they belong, in the hands of the people! Where every man is free -- to think --to act -- For himself! Fuck all these limp-dick lawyers, and these chicken shit bureaucrats! Fuck this 24/7 internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit! Fuck American Pride -- fuck the media -- Fuck - all of it! America is diseased -- rotten to the core...there's no saving it... We need to pull it out by the roots! Wipe the slate clean -- burn it down! And from the ashes a new America will be born! Evolved but untaimed! The weak will be purged -- and the strongest will thrive -- free to live as they see fit! They'll make America great again!
Raiden: What the hell are you talking about...
Senator Armstrong: You still don't get it! I'm using war as a business to get elected! So I can end war as a business...In my new America, people will die and kill...for what they believe! Not for money -- Not for oil -- Not for what they're told is right! Every man will be free to fight his own wars! Hah...so, what do you think?..
Raiden: How the hell did you get elected...
Senator Armstrong: Well, I don't write my own speeches. You should try fighting for what you believe in sometime, Jack. Not for a company, or a nation, or for anyone else.
Raiden: Maybe I was wrong about you...
Senator Armstrong: Am I finally getting through? [Helps Raiden up, offers his hand] I'll rid this world of pointless wars, Jack.
Raiden: I was wrong. You're not greedy-
[Shakes Armstrong's hand, moves in close.]
Raiden: YOU'RE BATSHIT INSANE! (Commence boss battle)

- Skull Face: Such a lust for revenge... [drag away by XOF soldiers] WHO!?
- Skull Face: Major... [Looking up at Metal Gear Sahelanthropus] I'M BURNING UP!
About Metal Gear[edit]
- I was making games like Policenauts, and I heard rumors about a console on which polygons could be created in real time. This really grabbed my attention, since one of the major attractions of games is the sensation of action, and I was intrigued to see what I could achieve with those polygons. Metal Gear is a hide-and-seek game, and the thought of doing this while adding a camera that could change position really excited me. So I stopped making script-based games and went back to asking for favors from programmers for this 3D world.
- I was a designer for Metal Gear Solid, but I was not a producer, so I had no say in the budget, release date, or promotion of the game. I remember when they told me what the release date would be and I had no say in the matter… these are bitter memories for me.
- Metal Gear Solid sold well throughout the world; it was a great success. When I heard about the hardware for the PlayStation 2, I wanted to try something new. Up to that point, all cutscenes had focused more on details like facial expressions, but I wanted to pay more attention to the surroundings, to see how much I could change them in real time. Current games like Call of Duty have followed this trend of making your surroundings more realistic.
- While MGS2 sold well, many fans of Snake were upset that Raiden was the main protagonist; we received a lot of complaints about that. There were also comments about the story unfolding too quickly; it created quite a stir. With this in mind, we created Snake Eater.
- At the time, I was not just a designer but also a manager, in charge of the studio. We were therefore able to develop several projects at once, such as Boktai, Zone of the Enders, and The Twin Snakes. I thought it would be very hard for me to develop Snake Eater as the lead creator, so I tried to delegate responsibilities to younger employees in the studio. In the end it couldn't be done, but it was my first attempt in doing it.
- The PlayStation 3 was quite a complex system; games had to be developed in three levels. By the end of the Metal Gear Solid 4 project we had nearly 200 people working on it, with three directors (although often they were directors in name only, and I ended up doing a lot). This is why the game was delayed.
- We made MGS4 according to a very Japanese method. At the time, the trend was for open-world games, but we decided to pay no attention to this and take another path. I already felt the need to create something similar to what we are doing with the Fox Engine.

Vandals destroy Branzino Grill in Boiling Springs
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 2:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 2:23 p.m.
Some employees of Branzino Grill thought it was an April Fool's joke when they heard Tuesday that the restaurant had been vandalized.
Photo Galleries
They were unprepared for the enormity of the damage. It was no prank. Everything from dishes and liquor bottles to industrial kitchen equipment to every booth and table, and even the toilets were scratched, slashed or smashed to pieces. The building's sophisticated surveillance system was pulled from the wall in an office and stolen.
According to a police report, damages at the restaurant happened sometime between 1 p.m. Sunday and 9 a.m. Tuesday.
The Greek/Italian restaurant, owned by Fran and John Sipsis, opened in December, serving up souvlaki, mousaka, spinach pie, branzino (European sea bass) and other Greek and Italian fare to supportive Boiling Springs patrons.
"We've had a lot of parties the past few weeks, and I've had to turn away 40 people today. That hurts more than this," said John Sipsis, looking across the dining room, where vents, air filters and tiles had been pulled out and thrown to the floor and wiring and light fixtures hung down from the ceiling.
John, 62, began his career in the restaurant business at age 11, as a dishwasher in Europe. He and Fran have been running restaurants together for the past 20 years, and once owned Boston Pizzeria in Spartanburg.
They sold that restaurant and bought and renovated the building in Boiling Springs, inside and out, opening it on Dec. 3.
"It took me 7 months," John said. "This much damage in one day — it was more than one person."
Employees arrived at the restaurant Tuesday and discovered the damage.
"911 was the first call I made," said Fran Sipsis, walking across the kitchen floor now cluttered with broken dishes and slick with cooking oil. She said she lost track of time after that as she walked through the restaurant and discovered almost everything broken, shattered or torn.
Some of the damage appears almost methodical, as if someone walked through the building with a hammer and every few feet bashed a wall or wood panels, breaking a hole into the Sheetrock or splintering wood. Each of the tall tables near the bar, the bar that everyone admires as they come in, Fran said, is topped with granite now chipped. Each cushion of the bar stools is slashed open, every bottle of liquor shattered on the floor or across the countertop.
Every booth table throughout the dining room is scratched, each seat cushion slashed. Even the fireplace was hammered, breaking bricks and gas logs into pieces.
In the private meeting rooms, holes have been bashed in the walls. The suspect or suspects lifted table cloths to carve long scratches into the wood underneath. Each chair cushion is slashed. The room partitions have been damaged and plants toppled over, spilling potting soil on the floors.
The suspect or suspects broke the glass in the back door and entered the kitchen area. The couple believes the vandals must have gone first to the office to disable the surveillance system. A hole is bashed into the top of an industrial mixer, and other appliances and equipment are damaged or overturned. There are several small dents on the ice machine, as if it had been hit with a hammer. The suspect or suspects poured bleach onto food in the walk-in cooler. Shattered dishes litter the kitchen floor. Wire racks and shelves are bent or overturned, and packages of pasta and lady fingers are strewn all over a storage area.
"They wanted to make sure not one thing was left untouched," Fran said.
But there were a few things on the walls in the bathrooms, the meeting rooms and behind the bar left unbroken, John points out.
"They're superstitious," he said. "Everything else, but no mirrors are broken."
According to a Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office incident report, two bank bags of cash, register computers and the restaurant's sound system was also taken. The sheriff's office never received an alarm call from the business, the report states.
An insurance adjustor went through the building on Wednesday, but a damage estimate wasn't available yet. It hasn't occurred to the couple not to repair and reopen.
"Definitely, that's 100 percent," John said. "Even if it's just out of spite."
Now, the couple has the task of deciding which of their 20 employees they can keep on the payroll to assist in the cleanup. Others will have to go on unemployment or find new jobs.
Waitresses stopped by the restaurant on Tuesday to check on their employers. Mandy Neighbors said many of the waitresses and other employees have children and will have to find new employment to support their families.
"I'm going to miss it," said Neighbors, who said it's fun working with John and Fran. But she will come back when they reopen.
"I just couldn't believe it," Neighbors said, stopping by before going to look for another job. "Frances and John are good people and I don't know why anyone would do this."
Anyone with information about the vandalism may call CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC.

Project Number: 2094-43000-007-05
Start Date: Oct 01, 2010
End Date: Jul 31, 2015
Conduct an advisory panel, industry, and academic query that will assess current needs, scope, and understanding of diagnosis and non-chemical management of postharvest browning disorders, representing a variety of similar disorders occurring in multiple ecomically important cultivars, have been selected for this study. Employ experimental strategies that ulilize susceptable cultivars along with chemical and cultural controls that both control the selected disorders while accentuating metabolic differences and differences in gene expression between healthy apples and disorder-prone apples. Comprehensive metabolic and gene-expression profiling will be employed to discover disorder-specific diagostic biochemical and genetic biomarkers. Metabolic and gene-expession evaluations will be screened by the bioinformatics cooperators. Metabolic and gene expression profiles will be statistically modeled and mined by statistics/modeling cooperator to determine disorder-related metabolic changes and select biomarkers that best predict whether an apple will develop a certain disorder of differential that distinguish from others. Biomarkers associated with individual disorder will be compiled and compared to select those that will be the bases of discrimination of postharvest browning disorders. An economic study will validate cost-effectiveness biomarker-based management strategies and platforms. New tools will be used to classify or re-classify disorders using the new metabolic information. Diagnostic/prediction biomarkers and tools will be presented to fruit producers, retailers, and agricultural service companies in extension, industry, and scientific meeting to determine the best means for pilot testing and implementation of this new storage management and quality assurance technology.

SAN JOSE -- Cisco Systems CEO John Chambers may be Silicon Valley's ultimate survivor. Perched atop the massive computer networking company for 19 years, he has experienced the exhilarating high of seeing it briefly become the world's most valuable corporation, and the lows of its stock plunge and periodic layoffs of thousands of workers.
Now, in the final chapter of his career, he is determined to turn San Jose-based Cisco -- already Silicon Valley's fifth-biggest business by revenue -- into the world's top technology company.
That's a daunting task, especially given Cisco's financial slump -- reflected in Wednesday's earnings report, in which its sales dropped nearly 8 percent and its profit 55 percent from a year ago. But as one of the valley's longest-tenured CEOs -- who has kept Cisco growing by repeatedly reshaping it -- it's foolhardy to bet against him, many industry experts contend.
"Most companies become comets going across the sky and burning up," said Silicon Valley forecaster Paul Saffo. "I certainly can't think of anybody who has been as deft as Chambers in pursing this strategy of constantly fine tuning and adjusting."
The 64-year-old Chambers is used to adversity. A learning disability, dyslexia, left him humiliated as a child and so unsure of himself as an adult that he used to throw up before giving speeches. He's also been heavily criticized for Cisco's occasional stumbles -- especially after the dot-com debacle, when its shares sank more than 80 percent and it tumbled far off its perch as the world's most valuable company.
"Nobody likes to get beat up," he said in an interview. But he added, "You've got to be able to have the courage to make changes and go forward."
Not everyone likes where he's taken Cisco. Some investors grouse about its stock being mostly stuck under $30 for more than a decade, and others contend he hasn't changed the business enough. Adam Hartung, of consulting firm Spark Partners, argued in a 2012 Forbes Magazine column that Chambers has been slow to embrace new technologies and should be fired, adding in an interview with this newspaper that Chambers "made his company an also-ran."
But that appears to be a minority view. Since Chambers became CEO in 1995, Cisco's annual revenue has surged from $2.2 billion to nearly $49 billion and its profit from $457 million to $10 billion -- all while many other tech businesses went bust.
"You have to take a step back and think, 'What if he hadn't been there with all these changes, with competitors going bankrupt?' " said Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Brian White. "'Where would Cisco be?' "
Although routers and switches, a kind of plumbing for computer systems, have long been Cisco's key businesses, Chambers has steadily expanded its products -- sometimes unsuccessfully -- to include security software, video conferencing gear and servers. Although experts say he has greatly strengthened Cisco by diversifying its sources of revenue, he also has put his corporation in direct competition with other tech powerhouses, including Hewlett-Packard.
But while many other tech companies get new CEOs every few years, with HP on its fifth since 1999, Chambers has demonstrated extraordinary survivability and exudes confidence. He maintains that Cisco will profit hugely from the billions of devices being steadily linked to the Internet, because its products are essential for those connections. And he says he's determined to turn it into the world's top tech company.
Chambers wouldn't specify how much sales or stock market value Cisco would need to grow to achieve that goal, emphasizing instead that he wants the company to be the place where businesses come for all their most important needs regarding data centers, networking and communications. While seemingly dull, those essential back-office technologies are at the heart of every modern global company and represent an extraordinarily lucrative opportunity for the businesses that can supply that gear.
It would be a remarkable achievement for anyone, but even more so for Chambers, considering what he overcame growing up in Charleston, W.Va.
It wasn't that he was poor. His father was a successful obstetrician, his mother a psychologist and the family owned a motel where Chambers worked as a teenager.
The problem was his dyslexia, a reading disorder. Some of his early teachers "were thinking I wouldn't even be able to go to college," he recalled. But Chambers persevered, earning a law degree from West Virginia University and a master's degree in business administration from Indiana University. He also conquered his fear of public speaking.
Still, he said his hands sweat when he thinks about his ailment, adding: "It's very humbling. Once you have people laugh at you, you never laugh at anybody else." At work, he prefers to communicate face to face or through voice mail, and his briefing documents are kept short.
Chambers joined Cisco in 1991 as a senior vice president of worldwide sales, and four years later became CEO.
Under his stewardship, Cisco's ascent was swift and breathtaking. By March 27, 2000, it briefly became the world's most valuable company, with the total market price of its outstanding shares hitting $586 billion. Then the dot.com crash hit, wiping out most of Cisco's paper worth within a year. Chambers cut 6,000 employees -- 14 percent of the workforce -- plus another 2,500 contract workers, and gave up his plans to expand into San Jose's Coyote Valley.
Since then, he has steadily fortified Cisco's finances, though not without missteps.
He's been faulted for experimenting with dozens of unwieldy advisory boards -- now greatly reduced in number -- and for temporarily venturing into consumer products. He was bashed over his $590 million acquisition in 2009 of Pure Digital Technologies for its Flip Video camcorder, a device largely undone by camera-equipped smartphones.
"Chambers pushed the company into some consumer areas they didn't have any business being in," said Jefferies & Co. analyst George Notter. "But to his credit he went back and got rid of all those," he added, calling Chambers "one of the best CEOs of the companies that I cover -- if not the best."
Two years after buying Pure Digital, Chambers closed the camera business and eliminated 550 jobs. A few months later, he announced 6,500 more cuts, followed by another 4,000 in August last year. And Cisco's recent slowing sales have rattled Wall Street.
Yet Cisco still elicits favorable reviews from many analysts, who often attribute their enthusiasm to Chambers.
"If you take a holistic view of his entire career, of just what he's built at the company, it's pretty impressive," said Baird Equity Research analyst Jayson Noland.
Cisco's board recently boosted Chambers' total annual pay nearly 80 percent, from $11.68 million to $21 million. Yet it's unclear how long he'll stay on the job. An avid sportsman, he's building a hunting lodge somewhere in Northern California and announced in 2012 that he might retire in two to four years.
"The timing has been John's decision," said Stanford President John Hennessy, a Cisco board member. "He's so dedicated to the company he wants to make sure whoever takes his place is ready."
That's only natural, having guided Cisco for so many years, Chambers said.
"It's like with your kids," he explained. "The kids being happy, successful and healthy is all you care about."

From our September 1 Issue: We're...
Treatment of B-Cell Lymphomas with Monoclonal...
The Poisons and Venoms of Organisms...
Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...
BioReliance signed an agreement to acquire the colonies required for the Big Blue® transgenic rodent (mice) mutation (TRM) assay and to obtain a license to its associated trademark from Agilent Technologies. TRM assays, which measure mutation frequency in any tissue, are the first in vivo genetic toxicology mutation assays to be approved by the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD), meeting Testing Guideline 488, according to BioReliance.
BioReliance is now the owner of Big Blue mutation models and the exclusive supplier of testing services based on this model, said Daniel Aparicio, executive director and general manager of early development devices at BioReliance.
"It is often of critical importance to use an in vivo mutation assay in order to assess human risk in drug development and chemical manufacturing. Big Blue is such an assay and one we are intimately familiar with, having been part of the initial co-development team in the 1990s," continued Aparicio. "Based on feedback from our customers and from the market in general, we believe there will be an ever-increasing demand for transgenic rodent assays and we are delighted to be able to bring that capability to customers on the back of this agreement."
BioReliance is now focused on completing the transfer of colonies and cell lines from Agilent and building full capacity and capability to perform the Big Blue assay, according to Aparicio. BioReliance is in the process of requalifying the assay to meet new regulatory requirements and anticipates that Big Blue testing services will be commercially available in the second half of the year.

The first set is typically strong '97 first set fare, when they took those first sets extra seriously - there's a kickass Crossroads (2nd to last played, unfortunately), a solid Theme from the Bottom, Fluffhead!, and a "you must listen to this now" Antelope that builds tension like a great Hitchcock denouement before hitting a cowfunk breakdown that gives the song that much added oomph. Seriously, this is an A-plus Antelope right here - it might not come screaming out of the gates banshee-style like '94-'96, but its subtle, swirling build to the funked-out climax might be even more impressive. "Lots more funky music," Trey says before hitting the Antelope closing theme, and boy is he telling the truth.
The second set is one of those sets that people think of when they think about how f-ing awesome Fall '97 is (even though it's technically not part of Fall '97) - five songs, all connected by the insane creativity the group had going at that time, creating a set of music that feels like it has no choice but to go together (even if it's not all one massive segue-fest like 12/6/97 II). DWD rocks as hard as it always does, then cools down and gets gritty on us, delay loops and Page's organ flourishes and all (Gordon does some really quality work here, including maaaaybe teasing Low Rider at one point?). From the chilled-out DWD comes a tremendous Bowie, which starts slowly out of the composed section, but then hits a nice jamming sweet spot before hitting the closing section, which builds and builds and builds...and then charges headlong into Possum. Page almost immediately teases I Can't Turn You Loose, and the band soon picks up on it and we get a full-fledged jam, the sort of thing that might have felt cutesy or jokey in years past, but now feels fully *earned* and is played with the intensity and funk-laden skill it deserves. That jam might very well be the highlight of the night, Phish's '97 style allowing them to play music they might never have been able to properly play before. The band then rips back into Possum, which rocks along nicely before a surprise and welcome I Can't Turn You Loose reprise. After a quick breather, Tube steps up to the plate and immediately drops some more funkiness on our heads, especially in the razor-sharp, loop-laden breakdowns (that I Feel The Earth Move tease is so great). And just when you think it can't get any better, they only go and drop a YEM on us, with another Can't Turn You Loose tease just for funsies and a simmering boil energy all throughout a tremendously danceable stop-start jam, leading to a chill vocal jam a la 11/17/97. Good Times Bad Times is a nice way to close things out.
12/30/97 is always going to be the favorite of the NYE '97 run, and there's no reason to begrudge that, as it is a great show. But 12/29/97, to me at least, is the crown jewel of the run, Fall '97 in excelsis, funk and rock and high-class jamming and Phishiness all slammed together into one heady brew.

BRENTWOOD, N.H. (AP) — A police report says two years before a New Hampshire man shot at a group of officers, killing a police chief, authorities seized 21 guns from his mother's home.
The report was filed in Rockingham Superior Court on Thursday by an attorney representing four officers injured in the April 12 shooting. The officers are suing Beverly Mutrie, mother of Cullen Mutrie, saying she provided him with the gun used in the shootings.
Beverly Mutrie has asked for a dismissal, saying she had no knowledge of any criminal activity.
The Portsmouth Herald reports (http://bit.ly/Wb5wuU) Cullen Mutrie was barred from possessing weapons.
Greenland Police Chief Michael Maloney was killed in the shootings. Cullen Mutrie then killed a woman in the home before killing himself.

CHAR-KOOSTA PUBLISHED BY CONFEDERATED SALISH AND KOOTENAI TRIBES. FLATHEAD AGENCY, MONT. Vol. 2—No. 7 May, 1958 Father Taelman to Observe Diamond Jubilee on June 29 I (Editor's Note — The following story on Father Taelman is taken from the Sunday, June 22, 1958, issue of the Western Montana edition of The Register, the official Catholic Newspaper of the Diocese of Helena. We think that our Char-Koosta readers will agree that it is a fitting tribute to Father Taelman, one of the Indian's best beloved Blackrobe friends.) ST. IGNATIUS — One Sunday June 29, the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, the Rev. Louis Taelman, S. J., will observe the diamond jubilee of his ordination to the priesthood. Highlight of the observance will be a Mass of Thanksgiving offered by the veteran missionary in St. Ignatius Church here at 10 a.m. Among those expected to be present for the occasion will be colorfully-garbed Indians, members of the Indian tribes whom Father Taelman has served for all but two of his 60 priestly years. Born in Exaarde, Belgium, on April ;19, 1867, he lived only 15 miles from Ter-'monde, birthplace of the famed Father Pierre Dcsmet. "As a young boy I read 'the life of Father Desmet" says Father Taelman, "and it was this that inspired mc to dedicate my life to work among the Indians." When Father Joseph Cat- aldo, S. J., surperior of the Indian missions in the west, came to his school in 1884, seeking prospective missionaries, he found an eager response in Louis Taelman. Coming to St. Ignatius Mission in 1890 he taught at the Jesuit scholasticate then at the mission, although he was not yet ordained himself. After he had completed his studies for the priesthood at Woodstock, Md., he was ordained in Spokane by Bishop O'Dea on June 19, 1898. One of his first assignments was as pastor at Yakima, Wash., from 1899 to 1900. But since then most of his priestly labors have been among the Indians. For 27 years he has worked among the Flat-heads in the Helena Diocese, 15 with the Crow Indians of Eastern Montana, and 16 with the Spokane and Kalispclls of Eastern Washington. From 1909 to 1913 Father Taelman was called on to become president of Gonzaga College, Spokane. Even during his time, he took charge of the Kalispcll Indians near Osick, Wash., since he was the only priest about who could speak their language. Between 1940 and 1952 Father Taelman was again in charge of the Kalispcll and Flathead Ceremonials Tell of Indian Life In the days and years past many of us don't realize the passing of many of our fullblood Indians, with them went the teachings of much of our Indian ceremonials. The Flathead Indians of the old ages did many feasts as spiritual celebrations asking the great unseen for abundant crops of wild berries, Bitter-roots, wild onions, Camas, Herbs for medical pruposes. For better fur bearing animals, more deer and elk. To them this type of food and medicines was priceless, because that those were the types of food that their parents had taught them to eat. Much of the furs and hides of deer and elk were tanned and smoked for buckskins as the Flathead were always known to be great hunters. They studied the wild game habits, many stories had been told by those old timers of their hunting days, the strange behavior and actions of birds and wild game that they had seen, and many of the old generations of our tribe believed that certain powers of the great unseen were given to certain wild animals. From this kind of study and experience with wild animals and certain birds is where many of the full blood Indians originated certain gestures in their war dancing and also did special designs in their bead work, especially on beaded vests that were made as parts of War Dance Cus-oms. As the Pow-Wow season comes on here on the Flathead Reservation, many people especially the white visitor does not understand the great importance that these dances arc to the full blood Indian. The old time war Dancer of the Flatheads considered many of the Indian Dance's as rather a spiritual gathering for celebrating the dances that showed the Dancer doing special gestures that happened during their War's. Jump fights, their hunting, and contacts with certain wild life. Spokanes. By then nearly 80, Father averaged 1,500 miles a month as he took care of his Indian people. Since 1952 he has been stationed again at St. Ignatius Mission. He is in familiar country — having served as superior of the mission for three terms. He serves as chaplain to the Holy Family Hospital providing for spiritual needs of the sisters and patients, despite his 91 years. Arthritis has slowed him up some, but with special permission he is allowed to be seated for portions of the Mass which he offers daily. When there is need, on great feast days, he hears confessions in the mission church for several hours at a time. Looking back over his 60 years in the priesthood, Father Taelman will only say "They have been very busy years, happy years." He can recount, in his still powerful voice, experiences of his younger days — with dangers in number from the elements, especially on distant sick calls. But he did not fear the Indians. "I never ever had an Indian for an enemy," he says. The Indians have come to know his love for them through the years. On June 29 these Red Men will join countless others, priests and people of the diocese and the Northwest, to pay tribute to a great priest and missionary. — (Father James White.)

My own life-changing trip – and some journeys that might turn out to be yours.
By Guest Blogger Rachel Freeman I SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY Undergrad degree – cum laude – in communications. Currently pursuing a master's in broadcast and electronic communication arts. Not-so-secret passion: Baseball (go, San Francisco Giants!).
So I just got back from the trip of a lifetime – a free 10-day trip organized by Birthright Israel for Jewish students and young adults between the ages of 18–26. It was a life-changing experience, and one of the greatest aspects of the trip was participating with 44 complete strangers.
We met with musicians and other important Israelis. We went wine tasting. We floated down the Jordan River, visited the holy sites of Jerusalem, and rode camels (you know I wouldn't skip the camels). We slept in a Bedouin tent, waking at 3 a.m. to hike Masada — the ancient desert fortress that today is one of the Jewish people's greatest symbols – to watch the sun rise over the Dead Sea. And these were just the highlights of my experience in Israel.
The trip got me thinking: What other summer travel opportunities are out there for people my age? For Birthright Israel, being Jewish is a requirement. But I knew there must be other awesome trips that were open to anyone.
Here are some trip organizers whose offerings sound like an epic way to spend summer break or gap year abroad:
1. EF College Break has trips of different lengths to many different parts of the world. You can sign on for a 7–10 day journey or travel for 35 days. The company offers a menu of great destinations like Australia, Turkey, Africa, and Spain, with well-planned itineraries that have plenty of free time built in so that you can explore the local scene on your own. Trip prices include airfare.
2. Projects Abroad provides internship and volunteer opportunities for university students, recent grads, and anyone else who is interested. Whether you're planning a summer break or taking a gap year to explore the world, the organization offers you the chance to be part of a wide range of international service projects in fields as diverse as law & humans rights, performing arts, archaeology, and journalism. Great in-country support from an international staff.
3. Ever wanted to visit the Incas? Or explore Vietnam? Gap Adventures, another student travel organization, has these trips and others. The company's slogan is We Love Changing People's Lives, and they do. With these folks you can tour the catacombs of Paris, ride a yak in Sikkim, or – right here at home – mountain bike the Grand Staircase of Bryce Canyon. If festivals are your thing, Gap Adventures can get you there: Think Germany and Oktoberfest, Rio for Carnival, and the Zanzibar International Music Festival.
4. The last place I checked out is Contiki, an outfit that will take you to six of the seven continents (who wants to go to the Arctic anyway; it's cold!). Contiki offers trips every month of the year. Trip lengths range from 4–45 days, so even if you work or go to school full-time, there's a trip for you. The company says its mission is to "create hassle-free vacations with an unbeatable mix of sightseeing, culture, people your own age, and free time" – not a bad combo.
Through a trip organizers or on your own, where would you go if you could pick anywhere in the world?

Steve Sunu, also commonly known as the American buffalo, is a North American species of editor/writer that once roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. His range once roughly comprised a triangle between the Great Bear Lake in Canada's far northwest, south to the Mexican states of Durango and Nuevo León, and east along the western boundary of the Appalachian Mountains. Due to commercial hunting and slaughter in the 19th century, Steve nearly went extinct and is today restricted to a few national parks and other reserves.

For Manatee schools, restoring trust is key
Published: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 5:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 19, 2013 at 5:59 p.m.
MANATEE COUNTY - Here is what is waiting for the next superintendent of Manatee County:
The six finalists for the next Manatee County superintendent are:
• Constance Jones: Former Lee County chief academic officer and current administrator on assignment.
• Diana Greene: Former Marion County deputy superintendent and current principal of Fessenden Elementary in Marion County.
• Pam Stewart: Florida Chancellor of Public Schools, who has served as a deputy superintendent, principal, guidance counselor and teacher, as well as other roles for the Florida Department of Education.
• Kathryn LeRoy: Former chief academic officer for Duval County and current director of high school programs.
• Rick Mills: Minneapolis Public Schools chief executive officer and former chief area officer for Chicago Public Schools.
• John Carvelli: Principal of Pierce Hammock Elementary in Palm Beach County and former longtime member of the St. Lucie County School Board.
• A district still reeling from the resignation of former superintendent Tim McGonegal, who bid goodbye in a letter read out loud at a September board meeting following a shocking budget crisis.
• The memory of a budget deficit — the $3.4 million disaster that sparked a pricey forensic audit that blamed one retired administrator for a broken budget process.
• An ongoing investigation into misconduct allegations, apparently unreported by administrators to authorities, against Manatee High School assistant football coach Rod Frazier.
• A union that one representative said is frustrated with labor relations and unable to come to bargaining agreements with the district as in years past.
• A teaching community that has experienced rapid professional and personal changes. Salary cuts. New teaching evaluations. Program upheaval.
• A school system that for months has been defined by controversy, with student successes, academic achievements and district innovation overshadowed by all the budget talk and the quest for new leadership.
• A community with fractured trust in school leadership.
Rebuilding trust, many said this week, is paramount as School Board members prepare to choose the next district leader at a special board meeting scheduled for 5:45 p.m. Wednesday.
"I think no time in the history of Manatee County has there been a greater trust deficit, as well as budget problems, that we are facing today," new School Board member Dave Miner said. "There is a need for a change in how we do business."
For some, the transition has been grating.
"I think our district is ready for a decision to be made so we can start moving on," said Pat Barber, president of the Manatee Education Association and part of four Manatee County superintendent searches. "Being in limbo is a difficult place to be."
The district's problems were clear to the six School Board candidates who interviewed in Manatee on Feb. 11 and 12.
"They were aware of some of the issues that they would be facing with the community," Board Chairman Karen Carpenter said.
But School Board members also say there is a silver lining to recent turmoil: steps toward transparency and community involvement have started.
This year, the district opened their superintendent search completely to the public, allowing citizens to sit in on candidate interviews and forming a search group of community representatives.
"What distinguishes this is the overall participation, the quantity and quality," Miner said. "It's unique, and it's aided the community a great deal."
School Board member Julie Aranibar agreed.
"We opened up all the interviews to the public," Aranibar said. "I hope that no matter how the vote goes, that we can trust that the process was transparent."
The board is scheduled to hear input on candidates from the Manatee Education Association; the board's Citizens Advisory Group; the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and a select group of district staff before voting with closed ballots.
Carpenter has said that the closed ballot system is to prevent board members from knowing how the other voted.
"It's good to know there are so many smart people that offered themselves to Manatee County," Carpenter said. "But electing a superintendent doesn't mean the job is over. It means the job is just beginning."

Easing the sequester's near-term effects under the congressional budget deal reached in late December was welcome news for our industry providing a measure of relief for important federal national security, civil aviation and space functions. But although we won't be facing the full brunt of sequestration's worst two years—or another government shutdown for the foreseeable future—defense spending will still be $30 billion below the President's budget request for the year, and funding for FAA, NASA and NOAA will still be on the downward arc that began in 2010. That said, the deal represents a first step toward a long-term agreement that could eliminate sequestration altogether, reverse the current "investment deficit" in programs that make our nation strong and secure, and finally address the mandatory spending accounts that are the real drivers of our nation's debt and deficit problems.
We remain deeply concerned about the consequences of ongoing budget cutting to the health of the industrial base and our ability to support America's national security and economic requirements today and in the future. These concerns were reinforced by the results of the recently released 2013 Aerospace and Defense Market Survey, jointly sponsored by AIA and the Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC). "There is no doubt that sequestration is having a direct impact on government/military OEMs and their tiered suppliers," report the authors of this 13th annual survey. "These companies are juggling the financial impacts of delays, workforce displacement, supplier disenfranchisement and general uncertainty."
A key survey finding was that 91 percent of companies report moderate to significant challenges in attracting and retaining skilled workers and 35 percent reporting that the aging and retiring workforce has resulted in an erosion of knowledge in their firms. "The retirement rate in aerospace and defense is creating a growing knowledge gap that needs to be filled with the next generation of workers," observed Tim Ellis, CSC's Aerospace and Defense industry general manager. "To compete with an array of tech companies and green industries, A&D companies need to embrace the modern workplace such as 'Bring Your Own Device,' social media, telecommuting and more."
For the second consecutive year, when asked about what are the top three aerospace and defense industry macro forces affecting their organization over the next two to three years, the largest response given was "reductions and reallocations in defense spending and pricing pressures in the commercial market."
Another key finding of the survey is that commercial companies are under increased pressure to lower aircraft acquisition costs and ongoing operational costs. The survey found many of them are using the following strategies to grow revenues and remain competitive:
• Design and produce innovative products.
• Focus on new revenue streams in aftermarket services or new geographies.
• Offer more flexible pricing to meet customer cost demand.
• Implement process improvement programs with the highest near-term return on investment.
I think the main take-away from the survey is that it demonstrates the importance of our nation's continued investment in dynamic and cutting-edge research and programs. As the respondents clearly stated, our ongoing budget austerity is degrading the capabilities of the aerospace and defense industrial base. We're losing skills and knowledge as workers are forced to leave our industry – skills that once lost cannot be replaced. AIA will continue to make it our top priority for 2014 and beyond to ensure that we have adequate, stable and predictable budgets for the programs that will allow our supply chain companies to retain and recruit the quality workforce our nation counts upon to maintain American leadership in all matters related to national defense, civil aviation and space.

On Saturday, September 28, Minnesota DNR Malacologist Bernard Sietman will be at Memorial Park in Granite Falls at 10:00 a.m. to introduce interested individuals about the wonderful world of mussels and river health. Sietman is one of two specialists in the State of Minnesota that works with mussels. During his time at the park he'll provide an overview of different mussel species and characteristics for identification, as well as how to gauge the health of the river overall. The event is free and the public is encouraged to attend. A Missouri Native, Sietman has worked on mussels in 13 states for a period of 20 years as a student, consultant, and biologist for Missouri and Illinois. He has been with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (CNR) since 2002. The malacologist said that his first memory of a mussel was when he was about 12 years old. His father reeled in a 'giant floater' he accidentally hooked while fishing, though he wouldn't learn just what species had been hooked until many years later. The event is being hosted by Clean Up the River Environment as a component of its Events and Adventure Series, which is a new program to engage people of all ages and to inspire them to learn more about and experience the Upper Minnesota River Watershed. Founded in 1992, Clean Up the River Environment (CURE) is a private, nonprofit organization working to celebrate, protect, and restore the Upper Minnesota River Watershed. For more information or to register for the Mussel Field Day, please call CURE at 1-877-269-2873 or email us at email@example.com. The event is free and open to the public.

Whistling a New Tune
By mduigou on Mar 20, 2007
I haven't written much about my musical interests on my blog but today I have a perfect excuse. The glue has worn off the Post-It reminder note I keep pinned to my monitor with artist names on it. It's time to start a new page with new names. I still buy all my music on CD (if it's good enough for Bill Gates, it's good enough for me) and whenever I'm struck by the "gotta buy that disc" mood I order the discs for all of the other artists I've saved up. I found out today that David Francey released a new album a few weeks ago so it's one of those "gotta get it now" times. Without further ado, here's the rest of the list in the rough order that I added them :
- Justin Rutledge
- John Southworth
- Raghu Lokanathan
- Sarah Slean
- Sam Roberts
- Lily Frost
- Geoff Berner
- Kinnie Starr

Customer Care
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much fish oil should I take?
We recommend taking 3000mg (three 1000mg softgels or six 500mg softgels) of Vital Choice Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Oil or 2000mg (two 1000mg softgels) of our Vital Red Antarctic Krill Oil per day.
These recommended servings are based on official intake guidance from the scientific bodies with the greatest expertise in this area: the UN World Health Organization (WHO), the American Heart Association (AHA), and the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL).
All three organizations agree that people need to consume about 500mg of omega-3s per day ... specifically, the omega-3s called EPA and DHA, found only in seafood and/or fish oil:
Note: These recommendations assume that you are not getting omega-3s by eating fish; see Consider the dietary context, below.
However, there is no risk and possible added benefit associated with consuming more than 500mg per day, from the combination of seafood and supplements.
Many clinical trials have uses doses of 1000mg to 3000mg of EPA+DHA per day, the U.S. FDA finds no risk at intakes up to 3000mg of EPA+DHA per day, and many people get more than that with no apparent problems.
How much Vital Choice Salmon Oil or Krill Oil do I need to meet the official advice?
As we've said, all three organizations agree that people need to consume about 500mg of omega-3 EPA and DHA daily.
Each 3000mg serving (three 1000mg capsules) of Vital Choice Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Oil provides at least 460 mg of EPA+DHA (240mg of EPA and 220mg of DHA).
Each 2000mg serving (two 1000mg capsules) of our Vital Red Antarctic Krill Oil provides at least 410 mg of EPA+DHA (280mg of EPA and 130mg of DHA).
Accordingly, taking just one serving of either supplemental oil daily would get you very close to the 500mg per day advised by WHO, AHA, and ISSFAL. Just eat a little fish, or take one more capsule, and you'll meet or exceed this minimum.
We should note that there is no conclusive evidence that women need fewer omega-3s than men ... and its well established that pregnant and nursing women need ample omega-3s to ensure that they and their fetuses and infants get enough.
In addition to the omega-3s essential to human life and optimal health (EPA and DHA), our Sockeye and Krill oils contain some other omega-3 fatty acids (mostly DPA) of significant, if lesser, value.
What about plant-source omega-3s?
The small amounts of omega-3s in canola oil, beans, dark, leafy greens, walnuts, and flaxseed which consist entirely of the "short-chain" omega-3 called ALA are much less valuable to health.
This is because the body needs omega-3s in the long-chain, marine forms found in fishEPA and DHAand can convert only about 1 to 10 percent of ALA into EPA and DHA.
Adequate omega-3 intake is not enough: avoiding omega-6 fats
While ensuring adequate intake of omega-3s is critical, most people also need to decrease their intake of omega-6 fatty acids.
Omega-6 fatty acids compete with omega-3s for uptake into cell membranes, so if you consume too much omega-6 fat, it will prevent your body from making full use of the omega-3s you take in.
Unfortunately, the diets of most Americans contain enormous excesses of omega-6s ... up to 20 times more omega-6 than omega-3, instead of the three-to-one or lower ratio recommended by leading omega-3 researchers.
To avoid a dietary excess of omega-6 fatty acid, just avoid the vegetable oils in which it is most abundant corn, safflower, sunflower, canola, cottonseed, and soy oils and the many packaged, frozen, and restaurant foods high in these oils.
The best vegetable oils to use in cooking are extra virgin olive oil and macadamia nut oil, which are low in omega-6 fats and high in monounsaturated fats. Extra virgin olive oil is also rich in a class of extraordinarily potent anti-inflammatory antioxidants called tyrosols, which are believed to dampen inflammation and aid vascular health.
For more information, see the "Omega-3 / Omega-6 Balance" section of our News archive.
Liquid for the little ones
What about kids? Weve seen no specific, science-based dose recommendations for children. However, omega-3s are essential for proper brain and eye development in the early yearsand offer a very sound safety recordso it seems appropriate to give young children supplemental amounts.
So that children can enjoy the benefits of omega-3s without having to swallow capsules, we also offer Liquid Salmon Oil, flavored with less than 1 percent organic lemon oil to make it more palatable to fish-averse palates.
Each 3/4 teaspoon serving of our liquid sockeye oil provides about 240mg EPA and 220mg DHA (460mg EPA+DHA), so it provides an ample daily dose.
Consider the dietary context
To avoid wasting salmon oil supplements, you should consider the amount of omega-3s you are getting from fish when calculating how many capsules to take over the course of a week.
A 3.5 oz (100gm) serving of wild salmon provides from 1000mg (sockeye, silver) to 2000 mg (king) of EPA and DHA, which are the key omega-3s.
Accordingly, every 3.5 oz (100gm) serving of wild salmon provides the amount of EPA and DHA recommended by the AHA, WHO, and ISSFAL.
This means that if you plan to eat a palm-sized serving of wild salmon during the day, you can choose to skip your supplemental salmon oil, although consuming omega-3s in both forms would be beneficial.
To see how much total omega-3 occurs in each of the species we sellhalibut, sablefish, tuna, sardines, and salmon (sockeye, king, silver), and shellfishand in our seafood products, click here.
Note: If you take blood-thinning drugs or have a serious cardiovascular conditionespecially a diagnosis of angina or an irregular heartbeat that involves use of an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)check with your doctor before taking any omega-3 supplements. While omega-3s are proven to protect against heart attacks and strokes, they may be inadvisable in certain circumstances.
