We've just seen that clout works in the Kent County system. Commissioners Agee and Rinzler are back with their guns and poor judgment ("Agee's gun permit restored," Press, Sept. 4). Let's hope their next "accident" has no serious consequences for others.
The "unfortunate accident" was blind luck for them; they are lucky a person was not standing in the paths of their ammunition. To reward them with concealed weapon permits is like handing an individual with a DUI a chauffeur's license.

Pants are back.
And this summer, they sure are fun:
Polka dots pop on skinny cotton trousers. Denim bottoms are chic yet loud in funky blue toile prints (yes, like your grandmother's china patterns). Pucci-inspired designs turn wide-legged pull-ups into breezy works of art.
My favorite: those baggy, drawstringed bottoms in red-and-white buffalo checks, a larger take on the pattern of a picnic tablecloth.
"It's a new attitude on the pant," said Susan Ahn, owner of Eaves, a contemporary women's boutique in Wayne. She credits pants' newfound popularity with our continued interest in separates. "Blouses have been strong. Denim has been strong; even skirts have been strong. It's now pants' turn."

U.S. Tax Breaks: Top 20% Get More than Half the Benefit
One of the biggest debates about taxes is what is "fair" in terms of who should be paying how much of their income, and what how tax breaks are distributed.
Where you stand in the debate over who pays "more" in taxes — the rich, the middle class, or the poor — largely depends on what you define as "more." Is it sheer numbers? Is it effective tax tax rate?
Whether or not you think that more needs to be done to ensure that the tax code is more progressive (or whether you think it's "unfairly" progressive by over-taxing the rich) is an interesting debate. And the recent report from Congressional Budget Office about the distribution of tax breaks is only likely to add more fuel to the fire.

With the lawsuit behind it, let it run ...
Sentiment: Strong Buy
The stock began a run Today around 10:05 AM and the stock stayed in positive territory all day. This was the proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel" after waiting for 3 weeks for another run. My target high for this week is 0.0077 and next week my target high is 0.0085. Today was only the first day of a run and last time around SVFC had a continuous run that lasted 5 weeks. so im hoping we all get another one of that kind of rally. that means tomorrows price is the ground floor to another multi-week rally.
straight from the top of your dome...with the freestylea?!~?!!
I am hoping it to go for another run soon.
The stock is still performing very strongly. The stock set a new Higher low today of only $0.0056 this is the highest the higher low has reached since the high of $0.0090 set only a week ago also im pleased to report that the pullback that started with the high of $0.0090 Has now finnaly come to a end. the stock closed the session on alignment of both a bullish Intra-day stocastic cross over and also a bullish Daily stocastic crossover. the last time this happined the stock shot rallied very strongly the next day. It was mostly in a pre-market trading and had a hugh gap up in price at the open but that still counts. My price target is 0.0080 and if a hugh news story breaks my price target is 1 cent a share which has never been reach yet on this current up trend.
It does have potential to go to 2c. GLTA.

A Corey is the type of person who can always make you laugh but yet make you wonder why you're even laughing. Coreys are males who are amazingly smart and attractive but not cocky about it. Corey is a guy you can just stand near and be insanely happy because you're close to him. Coreys are also great friends and lovers :) Coreys know no limits and live life to the fullest. Coreys put God first. A Corey is the upmost amazing guy put on earth. So sweet, kind, funny, smart, hot, trustworthy, honest, and genuine person. Anyone who has a Corey in their life are so lucky and better never let them go. Oh they are also great kissers and have a freaking hot body! Coreys are not fighters but they will fight for what they love.

Genealogy and Adoption – Part 1 – Which Family?
For many people, starting the process of tracking and recording your family history is as simple as creating an account on MyHeritage, putting in parents' names, then adding partners/siblings/children etc.
For adopted children, however, it's not that simple.
Not only are there issues of access to information but there are often more fundamental questions that need to be dealt with before the genealogical process can begin.
In this post, and the next few parts of this series, we will look at ways that technology and MyHeritage can help with information discovery as well as the genealogical process more generally.
In this post we deal with one of those fundamental questions I spoke about above i.e. "Which family tree should I be mapping?"
Keep in mind that this is not necessarily a philosophical question. Rather, for many people it's a question of protocol – that is – should your family tree be a genetic family tree (i.e. birth family) or a societal family tree (i.e. adopted family).
Fortunately for adoptees (and also children who have been fostered or who were conceived through surrogacy or gamete donation) MyHeritage gives you a third option: Set up 2 Family Trees!
That's right. Just because you're an adoptee doesn't mean you can't use the latest technology to keep track of your family(s) history. Now, assuming you want to set up two family trees, the next bit is easy. All you need to do is follow the instructions below and you'll be ready to kick things off:
- Sign Up for a MyHeritage Account (or log in if you already have one). Signing up takes seconds and automatically creates your first family tree, so you're halfway there!
- Once you sign up/Log in you'll be redirected to your Home Page
- Once on your Home Page click on the "Family Tree" tab (see the picture below)
- Then click on "Manage Trees" (see picture below)
- Then click on "Add Family Tree" (see picture below)
- Start adding details for your second family tree.
Now you've got your trees started, over the next few weeks we'll bring you more information on how to start working on the often difficult task of getting information into the "birth family" tree in your account
img src = "woodenspears"
Search for your ancestors:
- that's one option. but I was hoping you were going to deal with a more workable option on the site for dealing with adoptions in any generation. I am sure I am not the only one dealing with this. and so far, all I can do is just put the fact that the person is adopted into the comment section!?!
and while I'm on the subject of updates I'd like to see... when I enter a person who is the father of someone's child, but NOT married to them... and I chose a status such as "unknown" from the drop down box.... to indicate that they are NOT married, divorced, seperated... any of those... just never were legally a set at all... I still end up with a "married" line between them, and worse, it calls them husband and wife! this can be somewhat of an issue... especially for living family members, who are no longer with that person. I wish this could be fixed. I'm not sure it needs to go so far as to say "baby daddy"!!! but, essentially, that is all I am trying to convey here.
- Hi Donella
Thanks for taking the time to comment and give your feedback
I've made a list of things I'm going to cover off during this series, so I'll add the issue of adoptions in any generation to the topics and will do my best to get you and other readers relevant information.
I'll also pass on your feedback re: the "married" line showing up by default to our development team.
Kim - My Heritage
- Here's a second on that Donella's comment regarding non-married parent of a child. It is a big glitch and one that I hope myheritage can address sooner rather than later. I have several of these instances in my family tree and really dislike the inability to indicate NO relationship, other than the offspring!
Also, isn't there a hypenated line for adopted children?
Thanks --- and keep up the great work! I love your product!
- Hi Scott
I'll also take your feedback to our development team.
Hopefully we can get that non-married line issue sorted out soon for you all
- My Grandmother was adopted, how can I track both natural and adopted sides
- Should I be including long term common law relationships that have not produced children in my genealogy? I include ones with children as this is a continuance of the bloodlines.

Just from looking at the capture I think the below would probably work
although with all the unique pointers I have to wonder if maybe a bunch of
those params are actually just one structure.
Also MIDL syntax is quite a bit different from PIDL syntax. You'll have to
translate to use it with smbcli.
It would also be best to work from a capture of a Windows client because if
the current smbcli IDL isn't right the request could be messed up from the
start in which case you really don't know what you're looking at. If you can
produce such a capture [1] send it to me and I'll verify minimal winreg
calls in Java and then post the MIDL so the Samba guys can update their
typedef struct {
uint16_t length;
uint16_t maximum_length;
[length_is(length / 2),size_is(maximum_length / 2)] uint16_t *buffer;

[out,unique,size_is(*retruned),length_is(*returned)] unsigned char
[in,out,unique] int *offered,
[in,out,unique] int *returned); /* what does "offered" and "returned"
mean? */
[1] Just capture regedit operating on a remote machine. Create a key and set
a value so the capture has a couple ops I can do..

PERTH — It is a measure of just how much Test cricket has changed in the past five years that South African supporters — and even players — are not certain of victory, despite setting Australia a preposterous run chase target of 632 to win.
History suggests it is impossible — the highest fourth-innings run chase in over 135 years of Test cricket is 418. Only twice has a target of more than 400 been successfully chased. But what that list does not show is the amount of time available to chase the runs.
In the context of fourth-innings run chases, the fact that Australia still have two days left to change history is just as absurd as the number of runs they need. As Mickey Arthur said after yesterday's third day: "If we bat until the end of the match we'll win."
It was exactly what he told the Proteas four years ago when they were left with five sessions to chase 414, and did so while losing just four wickets. Hashim Amla spoke of "playing a few one-day shots" to hit the ball into gaps rather than where the fielders were placed.
One-day cricket has been around for more than 40 years — it is more the advent of Twenty20 cricket that has taught batsmen to invent ways to hit the ball into unguarded areas, and quickly. A decade ago the thought of chasing 400 was absurd. Now, here we are, wondering whether 632 can be chased down.
That in itself is a triumph for Test cricket: that it is strictly regulated to five days of 90 overs.
But even in the days of Timeless Tests, no such totals were reached. England, however, did come desperately close to reaching the 696 they needed at Kingsmead in 1939 when play was finally called off after nine days with the tourists on 654/5 because they needed to catch a train to Cape Town where their ship was leaving for home!
Amla's batting in this Test match will live long in the memory, longer even than AB de Villiers's brilliant 169 because the brutality of his assault on the Australian bowlers started with the match still in the balance. He reached the 90s from fewer than 70 deliveries: "I was lucky because there were a few loose deliveries which I was able to get away quite early on and the momentum continued from there."
What absolute nonsense!
Amla tore into Australia's bowlers from the moment he arrived at the crease. It was the most calculated and savage attack launched by a Proteas batsman in the past 21 years, discounting those which came when the match, and the bowlers, were already " gone".
De Villiers was the first to admit his arrival at the crease, with the scoreboard reading 287/3, was very different to Amla's at 28/1.
Both batted fearlessly, but only one did so when there was still something to fear.
One of Australia's longest-serving and most respected cricket writers compiled a list of "great innings played by tourists in Australia" over the past 40 years.
Brian Lara's 277 in Sydney in 1997, Sachin Tendulkar's 241 in Sydney in 2004, Michael Vaughan's 145 in Melbourne in 2002, Roy Fredericks's 169 in Perth in 1975, and JP Duminy's 166 in Melbourne in 2008 featured in the article.
Amla's 196 in Perth this year was at the top of the list.
As De Villiers confirmed, neither he nor Amla would place their efforts among their favourites if South Africa do not win. And understandably.
But despite everything we have witnessed over the past decade, and despite the doubts that pages of cricket history may yet be shredded, the overwhelming likelihood is that Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander and Morne Morkel will ensure that Amla and De Villiers will be able to frame the scorecard and cherish an extraordinary series win.
They should, and will, ensure Faf du Plessis's autograph is on it, too.

Hezbollah's reputation has suffered over its support for the Syrian regime, but any sign that the group's fighters are taking part in the battle raises fears that the conflict could expand into a wider fight engulfing the region.
Hezbollah has stood by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad since the uprising began 18 months ago, even after the group supported revolts in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, and Bahrain.

|Chiloe destinations
|General Information
|Travel Information
is Chile's largest Island located in the north Patagonia.
To cross to and
from the Island you need to take
a ferry.
The Isla Grande of Chiloé is South America's largest island and among its most striking cultural anomalies. Divided by the gentle peaks of the Coastal Range, Chiloé's eastern and western coasts are two worlds apart. To the west is a wilderness of endless beaches, dune habitat, and temperate rainforests, much of it protected in one of Chile's most forgotten national parks. To the east are the scattered islands of the Chiloé archipelago, sheltered from Pacific storms, intensely cultivated, home to a traditional culture of subsistence farmers, fishermen, and craftsmen.
Charles Darwin arrived in Chiloe on 28 June 1834 and was based there for six months, writing about his impressions of southern Chile in his diaries.
"There is also something very attractive in the
simplicity and humble politeness -"
( February 4, 1835) Charles Darwin speaking of Chiloe's customs which are still alive today.
The Jesuit order made this corner of the earth their special responsibility, erecting schools and over two hundred elegant wooden churches, nine of which are protected as national monuments. A rich mythology - populated by strange trolls, sea monsters, and eerie ghost ships - is yet another mark of Chiloé's singular history.
Unesco Criterion (iii): The mestizo culture resulting from Jesuit missionary activities in the 17th and 18th centuries has survived intact in the Chiloé archipelago, and achieves its highest expression in the outstanding wooden churches.
Today, Chiloé balances wild, unbridled nature with one of South America's most remarkable traditional cultures. Renowned for its seafood, its woolen handicrafts, and the warmth of its people, Chiloé is still a largely unknown destination for walking and biking, fishing, paddling and birding.
The town of Castro, characterized by its fleets of yellow fishing boats and distinctive palafito houses built on stilts above the tides, is easily accessible and provides a full range of tourist services. The charming islands of the archipelago, meanwhile, can only be visited by boat or kayak.

The Kingfish Yarn
Southern cooking is a testament to both our past and present. Reunions, holidays, and other special occasions are times when the menu is just as important as the guest list. With that in mind, during the spring of 1997, we opened The Kingfish Café—a tribute to our family and the food we grew up on.
Our mother, Geraldine, has always had a passion for food and family. To this day, she bakes our sweet potato pies, and has handed down her coveted corn bread muffins recipe. Our love for food and tradition began early while spending countless evening is the kitchens of our mother and Aunt Fannie.
Our father, Louis, was born in Selma, Alabama during the Great Depression. He taught us to never give up on the things that we want, and it is with this upbringing that we stay true to our inspirations, and our visions.
We were born and raised in Seattle, and attended Garfield High School and The University of Washington. Prior to opening the restaurant, we spent five years researching and developing recipes. We traveled to different cities across the country and met with restaurant owners, chefs, and our family members. We returned home enthusiastic, enriched, and determined to fulfill our dream.
Because the inspiration began with family and food, it was only fitting that we honored the memory of our beginnings. Each photograph that adorns our walls is a family member; from our great, great aunt Mary Laura Josephine, born a slave in 1850, to our third cousin, poet, Langston Hughes.
The restaurant name comes from George "Kingfish" Stevens, a character on the 1950's Television show Amos 'n Andy; his business ventures were many, and often chaotic, but always comical. Like "Kingfish", we encountered a myriad of challenges on our journey, but the largest was our lack of restaurant experience and formal culinary training.
Because of the way our parents raised us, we understood that the idea, quite simply, was not enough, and our lack of experience, coupled with having very little money, made the inception of our dream difficult. However, persistence, faith, and the belief that Seattle would embrace our concept are what made us finally realize our dream.
Many of our recipes are foods that we were raised on, while others were created under the direction of our chef, Kenyetta Carter, and our amazing staff. Soulfully cooked food is richly flavored, passed down from generation to generation, and filled with tradition and history. We are firm believers in simple pleasures, and we are delighted to share our version of Southern hospitality with you.
We thank everyone who has graced our tables and shared pieces of themselves. It is a pleasure to share a little bit of home with you.
Red beans and ricefully yours,
Laurel & Leslie Coaston

Dariush Forouhar (Persian: داریوش فروهر) (August 1928 – November 1998) was a founder and leader of the Hezb-e Mellat-e Iran (Nation of Iran Party), a pan-Iranist opposition party in Iran.
Early life[edit]
Forouhar was born in Isfahan. His father was a general in the Army who was arrested in WW2 by the British during the Anglo Soviet Invasion of Iran after attempting to form an armed resistance.
Career and political activities[edit]
According to Ali Razmjoo in Hezb-e-Pan-Iranist (also see links here), Forouhar was one of the founding members of the original nationalist Pan-Iranist Party of Iran in 1951 with Mohsen Pezeshkpour.[1] During the Pahlavi era, he had been very active in the anti-Shah nationalist movement and was a strong supporter and close friend of the Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh. In the midst of post-revolutionary tensions in Iranian Kurdistan in 1979, Forouhar was part of a delegation sent by Tehran to negotiate with Kurdish political and religious leaders. Although this delegation's recommendations were never implemented by the central government and Kurdish revolt was dealt with harshly, Forouhar's attempts to reach a peaceful settlement with Kurds earned him respect among Kurds.
Forouhar served as minister of labor in the interim government of Mehdi Bazargan in 1979.[2]
Forouhar and his wife, Parvaneh Eskandari Forouhar, were overt opponents of Velayet-e-faqih (Shia theocracy) and under continuous surveillance.[2] They were assassinated in their home in 1998. The murders, which are believed to have been politically motivated, remain unsolved, although the general belief is that the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence was involved and had ordered the killings.[3][4][5][6][7] It is thought that the murders were provoked by Forouhar's criticism of human rights abuses by the Islamic Republic in interviews with Western radio stations that beamed Persian-language programs to Iran. This "brought them to the attention of Iran's ubiquitous intelligence service."[8]
Under pressure from public opinion, the then Iranian president Mohammad Khatami formed a committee to follow up the case, which eventually asked for the resignation of the Minister of Intelligence, Ghorbanali Dorri-Najafabadi. One of the main characters behind the case, Saeed Emami, reportedly committed suicide while in prison.
Shirin Ebadi, the lawyer of the Forouhars' relatives quoting Parastou says: "All evidence shows that my father was preparing himself to go to prison, because at the time of his slaying, his shoes had no laces, he did not wear his wrist watch and had his wallet emptied of its contents and papers except for some money."
Their murders brought to light a pattern known as the chain murders of Iran.
Personal life[edit]
Forouhar had two children. Son, Arash, and daughter, Parastou, are both politically active and continue to raise awareness of the plight of political dissidents in Iran. In 2009, Parastou signed an open letter of apology posted to Iranian.com along with 266 other Iranian academics, writers, artists, journalists about the Persecution of Bahá'ís.[9]

It's among the scarcest metals on the planet.
There's only one large above-ground store, a strategic reserve the Soviet Union spent 50 years accumulating. Russia decided to put the stockpile up for sale in 1990 when it was estimated to total 27 million ounces. Since then, buyers have withdrawn about 25 million ounces.
The remaining balance is a state secret. But comments from Russian mining conglomerate MMC Norilsk Nickel indicate the reserve is nearly spent. Most analysts estimate the reserve is now just 2 million ounces -- about a three-month supply.
Meanwhile, the metal is exceedingly scarce; annual production rates are less than one-tenth that of gold. About 90% of the world's supply is locked up in just two spots (Siberia and South Africa).
This is exactly the sort of scarcity that can drive up prices. All that's needed is demand. And we're seeing that too...
Mines around the world yielded a total of 6.3 million ounces last year. Meanwhile, post-recession demand rebounded to 7 million ounces.
No, I'm not talking about silver or even platinum. And you know I'm not talking about gold, either. Gold climbed 30% last year. That was bested by silver, but both metals trailed the 97% gain of this one.
It's the reservoir for palladium that's running dry and there's about to be some thirsty buyers.
Congress has authorized a palladium coin. Exchange-traded funds from New York to Zurich now have more than 2.5 million ounces of physical bullion in their vaults.
The versatile metal has a multitude of uses beyond simple investment; most notably in the dental, jewelry and electronics fields. But demand from the auto sector is greater than all of those combined -- the metal is used in catalytic converters. And despite decades of research, carmakers have never found a viable substitute.
According to automotive forecaster CSM Worldwide, global auto production is forecast to reach 75 million vehicles this year, 80 million next year and nearly 90 million by 2014. That means a lot more catalytic converters.
As supplies get squeezed, automakers are already doing their best to stockpile. General Motors (NYSE: GM) recently signed an agreement with Stillwater Mining (NYSE: SWC) to buy future supplies of palladium -- without fixed floor or ceiling prices. This contract is akin to a blank check. GM just wants the metal, regardless of what it has to pay.
And here's the best part. There are only a small handful of companies splitting this rich jackpot.
One of them is the aforementioned Stillwater Mining. Stillwater is the only palladium miner in the United States. The company plies the Beartooth Mountains of southern Montana, home to the planet's richest concentrations of high-grade palladium ore.
Action to Take --> I think 2011 is poised to be one of Stillwater's most successful years ever. The scarcity of palladium gives the metal what it takes to continue its powerful run, perhaps racing another 25% to retake the $900/oz. mark.
That would be welcome news for Stillwater.
[Note: This is precisely the sort of situation I look for... dwindling supply and soaring demand mean rising share prices. And if you haven't seen it already, be sure to watch my free webcast discussing other areas where scarcity is rearing its head and offering investors an opportunity to profit. Click here to watch.]

for those after the audi R8 once you have the A-licence go to classic autos at the beach i got my A-licence two days go 10/02/2009 i have just bought it to-day happy driving dudes
Big cheese, at least you can veiw full licences though, but i think its a rippoff when you spend all that time getting all licences for the audi R8 just to find out that its not available & you cant buy it without having the downloadable contents for it, some how some where im not impressed

i had to do 4 emails for it to work i had to use my other xbox live account's email to connect both accounts on it
i now have the A-licence from rockstars social club how do i get the downloadable content for the audi R8 dont anyone know about it please tell me
Big cheese, i dont own a Xbox, but try to use other email address & re-register to rockstar social club, i had to register twice when you said where i could get hydraulics/airbags. my first email i used to register wouldnt let me so try it again, hope this helps let me know how it went

big cheese
urm every time i clicked on driving test it wouldn't load and i had to have a email sent to me to deactivate my account and activate it again urm i do this on the computer what is connected to my Xbox 360 and then it load erlier and i realized you had to do challenges on your game to unlock better licences
thanks again Big cheese,dont know if this helps you, but what do you mean your driving test wont load, do you have a [flash plugin] i can veiw my driving test though the internet browser on my PS3. on the b-license what is [TIS MODULAR M304] what dose it do or unlocks

Big cheese
no problem simole and yes you have to get the A licence to get Audi R8 i havnt got one but my mate told me how because my driving test wont work it doesn't load
Delete Post
Yo Easiest Way to get money is to go to a wager race. Put it on full cash on the easiest level and just go wager after wager after wager.. it adds up quickly. Or go freeway driving with an easy or medium driver and just follow him down the highway over and over. Some races take less than 30 seconds.. I did that for bout 2 hours and had bout 200000 when i was finally bored of it. aha
thanks Big cheese with my hydraulics/airbags problem, i ave 2 more questions, first question is how can i get download content when searched nothing happens, second how can i unlock the audi R8 do i get this when i ave completed driving test & get the A licence, thank once again
Delete Post
Big cheese
you have to go on www.socialclub.rockstargames.com and sign up and log in and go on driving test
is thier anyone who can tell me how or what unlocks hydraulics/air bags as its doing my head in please can someone help thank you

Winterwatch 1963 – The Big Freeze
Saturday, 17.30, BBC2
This weekend appears to be all about snowmageddon, despite the fact the Creamguide Office has been enjoying flurries all week and on Monday it took us an hour and a quarter to drive four miles. But it's not in the South East, so nobody cares about that. It does seem to be the case that it snows more often these days and it's far worse when it does, but we wonder if that's because when we were young we didn't have to heat a house, drive a car or go to work in it. In any case we shouldn't really be surprised at wintry weather in the winter, and it will probably never top the notoriously freezing winter of 1963 when rivers froze over and no football was played for about three months. Here's a documentary about it from the time, presented by the reassuring Cliff Michelmore, and then after it Chris Packham ponders what would happen if we had a repeat.

MPA NEWS Vol. 4, No. 2 August 2002
Using Multibeam Sonar to Map MPAs: Tool of the Future for Planning and Management?
MPA Perspective: Mitigating the Effects of Coastal
Development on the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve - A Case Example from Mexico
By Juan Bezaury Creel, The Nature Conservancy - Mexico
Notes & News
Letters to the Editor
USING MULTIBEAM SONAR TO MAP MPAs: TOOL OF THE FUTURE FOR PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT?
The seafloor - sandy or rocky; flat or sloped; seamount or canyon - provides the foundation for multiple processes within MPAs, including the distribution of flora and fauna. However, MPA practitioners have generally had only patchy knowledge, at best, of what lies at the bottom of their protected sites, based on information gathered from fishermen, divers, and rough bathymetric data from nautical charts. With an inexact understanding of what's "down there", planners and managers face a real challenge of drawing appropriate boundaries and protecting the habitats they want to protect.
Under such conditions, multibeam sonar may be the tool of the future for MPA practitioners. Used now at a small number of MPAs in North America, this mapping technology provides resource managers with the ability to envision the seabed as they never have before. Practitioners are using it to pinpoint boundaries, streamline research costs, identify and reduce ecosystem impacts from fishing, and more. This month, MPA News examines the technology of multibeam sonar and how resource managers are adapting it to fit their needs.
The basics of multibeam sonar
Maps of the seafloor made over the past century vary widely in accuracy. Older navigation systems resulted in features being mapped several hundred meters or even kilometers from their actual geographic locations. Systems to measure depth resulted in errors of tens to hundreds of meters. Depending on the spatial resolution of the mapping system, objects less than a certain size - even undersea mountains, in some cases - could fail to appear at all.
US military researchers developed multibeam sonar in the 1960s to address these problems. Mounted on a ship's hull, the sonar sends a fan of sound energy toward the seafloor, then records the reflected sound through a set of narrow receivers aimed at different angles. Declassified for civilian use in the 1980s, the technology has since advanced to the point where it can detect features as small as one meter across and locate them to within one meter of their true geographic location. It provides users with two kinds of data: bathymetric (depth) data, and "acoustic backscatter". The latter, which records the amount of sound returned off the ocean bottom, helps scientists identify the geologic makeup - sand, gravel, mud - of the seafloor.
In the 1990s, government hydrographic agencies appropriated the technology to improve the accuracy of their nautical charts, particularly in harbors subject to sediment shifting and other navigation obstacles. Oil and gas companies seized on multibeam sonar to help explore the seabed in their search for hydrocarbon deposits. And by the late 1990s, some MPA managers began to see the possibilities offered by the technology for studying seafloor habitats. Jim Gardner, a marine geologist with the US Geological Survey, said, "Multibeam sonar gives managers, for the first time, a very clear view of the bathymetry and backscatter of their MPA - it's really the first time they've seen what they're protecting."
One question that the technology helps practitioners to answer is, Where should an MPA be sited? "A lot of people just draw a polygon on a map, and that becomes their marine protected area," said John Hughes Clarke, a marine geologist at the University of New Brunswick, Canada. But drawing an arbitrary line fails to consider the hydrographic forces - such as currents - that affect a site, or its topography. Notably, the Canadian government has expressed interest in using multibeam sonar to help it redraw the boundary for its exclusive economic zone, which officials aim to extend beyond the current 200-nm range in areas where the continental shelf stretches beyond that line.
Hughes Clarke believes that Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) should take account of the seabed whenever designating MPAs. His team of researchers is mapping the Musquash Estuary, a shallow, partly intertidal area in New Brunswick that DFO is considering for formal MPA designation. In the estuary, he is using a series of multibeam surveys to map erosion, sediment deposition, and other surface-sediment changes over time - factors to consider when drawing up a management plan for the site.
Robert Rangeley, marine program director for the Atlantic regional office of World Wildlife Fund Canada (an NGO), said multibeam sonar benefits seafloor conservation in a number of ways. "First, the better we know the distribution of bottom types, the better we can map out both distinctive and representative habitats for protection," he said. "Second, we can better understand the relationships between patterns in benthic habitats and patterns in the distributions of benthic organisms. And third, by limiting bottomfishing to those areas with high fisheries yield, the area of seafloor that is impacted by bottom gear - and the diversity and abundance of bycatch - can be reduced."
Use of multibeam in marine protected areas
The number of marine protected areas that have been mapped using multibeam sonar is very small. The technology remains unfamiliar to many practitioners, and the cost to deploy it can be fairly high (see box Questions and answers on multibeam sonar). Nonetheless, planners and managers of several sites have incorporated it in their work, illustrating a mix of potential applications:
Sable Gully Area of Interest, Canada
Sable Gully is a large undersea canyon off the coast of Nova Scotia. In 1998, DFO designated it as an Area of Interest, the first step in a process that could lead to formal designation as a marine protected area under Canada's Oceans Act, and funded a two-year research program to study the ecosystem. Included in the study was a multibeam mapping project - a joint effort among DFO, Natural Resources Canada, and the petroleum industry - to survey both the deep-water portions of the canyon and adjacent bank areas. The imagery proved to be invaluable for guiding subsequent benthic and deep-sea coral surveys. As well, it shed light on physical processes that drive the canyon system: for example, the multibeam survey offered insights to the role of smaller "feeder" canyons that carry materials from the surrounding area into the main Gully channel. Protection of the canyon's core habitat depends on the health of these feeder canyons. DFO will incorporate these and other findings into the upcoming management plan for the area, including boundary considerations. "We revisited the proposed boundaries in a number of ways, based on our improved understanding of the Gully system," said Leslie Burke, regional director of fisheries management with DFO.
Grouper fishery closures, US
Threatened by overfishing, gag grouper have been the focus of efforts by the (US) Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council to help the commercially valuable stock rebound. In June 2000, the council designated two four-year fishery closures around sites that it determined could be valuable spawning aggregation sites - each roughly 10 nm by 10 nm along the 100-meter depth contour favored by grouper. Although the choice of sites was made without the benefit of multibeam sonar (coarse bathymetric data and fishermen's knowledge were used instead), follow-up multibeam studies of the closures in 2001 indicated the precise spots and seabed morphology where grouper tended to aggregate. Now that researchers can go straight to these spots, the cost of studying aggregations within the closures has dropped significantly from what it was prior to the multibeam mapping, according to biologist Andrew David of the National Marine Fisheries Service. "It allows us to maximize our research impact from the funds we have," said David. "It's well worth the investment."
Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary, US
Also located in the Gulf of Mexico, the coral-laden Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary was first mapped with multibeam sonar in 1997. Now those maps form the basis for several of the MPA's programs, including its current effort to build a detailed habitat map of the entire site: management is currently "ground-truthing" areas of the sanctuary to check the multibeam map's assumptions of seabed habitat. As an education tool, said Sanctuary Manager G.P. Schmahl, the multibeam maps do a great job of showing stakeholders the unique geology of the site. "The maps go a long way toward explaining what the Flower Garden Banks are," he said. They have also helped in rapid-response situations: when a tie-off buoy from a nearby oil-drilling rig drifted into the sanctuary, management was able to overlay the buoy's coordinate with the multibeam map to gauge what type of ecological community it was on and how the buoy might affect that ecosystem.
Race Rocks Area of Interest, Canada
The rugged Race Rocks archipelago off the province of British Columbia is on the verge of formal, federal designation as a marine protected area. Researchers have conducted a series of seabed surveys of the site - with multibeam sonar and other technologies - resulting in detailed imagery of rock outcrops, small sand waves, sediments located in depressions in rocky zones, and more. "The definition of the seabed assists in estimating the degree of uniqueness of this area, a fundamental requirement for designation as an MPA," said Jim Galloway, head of sonar systems for the Canadian Hydrographic Service. "Similarly these baseline surveys contribute to our knowledge of nursery locations within the boundary, thereby giving us the means to protect species and habitat appropriately." As it has done for Flower Garden Banks, the multibeam mapping has also contributed to community education efforts. "The dramatic imagery and definition greatly assisted stakeholders in their appreciation of the suitability of Race Rocks to be assigned MPA status," said Galloway. Incidentally, the Canadian Hydrographic Service is located within the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, which is responsible for designating MPAs in Canada. This co-location of responsibilities helped ease the process of executing the seabed surveys at Race Rocks and reduced operational costs, said Galloway.

|BOX: Using multibeam sonar to reduce the seabed impacts
of fishing
Off the Atlantic coast of Canada, the offshore scallop industry is using a multibeam sonar database to help its boats catch their quota of scallops in far less time. In doing so, the industry is dramatically reducing its impacts on the seabed.
The partnership between industry and the Canadian government began in 1996, when scallopers noticed a set of multibeam maps the Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) had created. The maps happened to show scallop grounds, with sediment types indicated. Knowing that scallops prefered light (or "pea") gravel, the scallopers quickly recognized that this map of sediment could be their route to better harvests. "Where you find pea gravel, you're likely to find scallops," said Eric Roe, director of government relations for Clearwater Fine Foods, an offshore scallop company.
Within two years, the six companies of Canada's Atlantic offshore scalloping industry had teamed with CHS and Natural Resources Canada (NRCan, another federal agency) to outfit a retired scallop vessel with a multibeam sonar system. Then, with technical expertise provided by CHS and NRCan, the industry proceeded to map three entire undersea banks. The cost to industry was more than CDN $3 million (US $1.9 million) over two years. "It was the largest industry-funded program of its nature in Canadian fisheries history, and potentially the largest of its kind anywhere," said Roe.
For the scallopers, it has been worth the investment. Scallop vessels now leave port with a computerized map showing exactly where to expect to find their target. Follow-up research has determined that the maps are nearly perfect (94% accurate) in identifying the presence of scallops. "It has changed from a hunting process to a gathering process," said Dick MacDougall of CHS.
One metric ton of scallops used to take the fishermen more than six hours to harvest; now it takes less than two and a half hours. The industry, managed under an individual quota system with total-allowable-catches, reaches its quotas in a fraction of the time it used to take, resulting in lower crew and fuel costs and less wear on gear. With captains focusing on the high-yield areas, the amount of seafloor dragged in pursuit of scallops has been reduced by as much as 70%. "As long as there is a scallop fishery, there is going to be an impact [on the seabed]," said Clearwater's Roe. "It is incumbent upon us to reduce that impact as much as possible."
Fishery managers have incorporated the new information. "We're able to observe almost bed-by-bed productivity for the scallops," said Leslie Burke, regional director of fisheries management with the Canadian Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). "A more optimal total-allowable-catch will be the expected result." Multibeam mapping could spur a revolution in the management of more than just scallops. "The interest in multibeam from other fisheries will grow over time," said Burke.
However, two factors make the offshore scallop industry especially well-suited to the technology: 1) Scallops can be mapped reliably because they are relatively sedentary and found in high association with a particular substrate; 2) The industry's quota system under DFO assures the fishermen a secure level of access, thereby providing a strong incentive for industry to invest in science, mapping, and other activities with long-term benefits. "The Canadian offshore scallop industry has a history of working cooperatively on a range of science issues that would be of mutual benefit," said Roe. "We have a vested interest in maintaining and possibly growing the resource pie."
Application of multibeam mapping to an open-access fishery would likely have different long-term results: stocks could be quickly wiped out. The rarity of multibeam data relevant to open-access stocks has kept this from becoming a problem so far. Paradoxically, the inavailability of multibeam data could pose a separate problem, say some conservationists. That is, keeping multibeam maps proprietary - for use by industry and government only, for example - could give industry an enormous advantage. Said Robert Rangeley, marine program director for the Atlantic regional office of World Wildlife Fund Canada, "A proprietary regime does not allow the broader community of researchers and conservation advocates access to the data and the benefits for ocean resource planning and siting of MPAs."

Editor's note: Juan Bezaury Creel, author of the following perspective piece, is an environmental policy associate for The Nature Conservancy - Mexico, an NGO. In this piece, he describes an innovative effort in Mexico to protect the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve from the effects of uncontrolled shoreline development. Underlying the site's protection is an environmental zoning plan (EZP), published in May 2002. In Mexico, EZPs are the legal instrument allowing for integrated coastal management.
By Juan E. Bezaury Creel
In the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, along the Meso-American Reef, lies the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. A World Heritage Site, the reserve covers 1.6 million acres (6500 km2) of coastal and marine habitats, from tropical rainforest to mangroves and coral reefs. Recognized worldwide for its biodiversity, the site contains some areas that have been zoned off-limits to humans under the reserve's management plan, which controls land use and activities in public properties and waters.
However, several businesses and private coastal properties remain within the reserve from before its designation in 1986. Under Mexican law, land tenure within a protected area is not necessarily altered when the area is designated. Until this past May, there was no plan to mitigate environmental effects from uncontrolled development of these private parcels in Sian Ka'an, the single-most important threat to the biological integrity of the site.
Upon its publication on May 24, 2002, the environmental zoning plan (EZP) for the reserve became the legal instrument that controls land use over the private properties within the site. Representing a 10-year, joint governmental and NGO effort, the Sian Ka'an EZP features a system of "transferable development easements". These easements allow for limited development transferability by property owners. In contrast to "transferable development rights" - with which planners have experimented in other areas of the world - the easements are not as freely marketable, allowing for easier enforcement.
As it does for all islands in the reserve, the EZP bans development along a total of 35.5 km, or 28%, of the reserve's coastline. These areas contain the most ecologically important coastal ecosystems and a representative system of the area's coastal vegetation assemblages. The development potential of any private parcels on these lands can be transferred to less ecologically sensitive coastal properties within the reserve.
Over the remaining 102 km of coastline without total protection, limited development may occur. One vacation home is permitted on each existing lot, and further subdivisions to lots with less than a 100-m sea frontage are prohibited. The most-likely "balanced development" scenario could include a mixture of vacation homes and hotels for a total of around 450 homes (average 4.41 houses per km of coastline) and around 750 hotel rooms (average 8.9 rooms per km of coastline). Under the EZP, basic hotel densities within the reserve's 1,580 hectares (15.8 km2) of private coastal property range from 0.35-0.5 hotel rooms per hectare. These densities could be increased somewhat as incentives for owners of large parcels to not subdivide their property, or for owners within the no-development zones when they transfer their rights to less sensitive areas.
Allowed development, even if planned at a very low level of intensity, will certainly increase pressures on the resources of the Sian Ka'an coast. Depending on the balance reached between vacation homes and hotels, the average daily number of tourists in the reserve could fluctuate from 3,000 to 4,200 and the resident population of the reserve - now close to 1,000 - could fluctuate between 4,500 and 5,700. The balanced scenario described above would result in 8,400 m3/day of water that would need to be pumped out from a very limited aquifer, captured from rainfall or trucked in. After use, the 6,200 m3/day of waste water would need to be treated. Garbage generated could add up to 2,160 metric tons per year, and additional fisheries pressure from the local population for home consumption could represent demand for 415 metric tons of extra fish products per year.
Nevertheless the most important challenge is the establishment of procedures, systems and controls that allow for adequate monitoring and enforcement of the EZP. EZPs are still relatively weak tools, mainly due to the lack of human and financial resources for enforcement. As a result, enforcement comes mainly from public outcry and pressure. The concept of "environmental white guards" - being developed by Amigos de Sian Ka'an for an adjacent portion of the coast - might prove to be a model that provides the Sian Ka'an EZP with a good set of teeth. This model integrates a non-official operative network of NGOs, interested individuals and government officials. When a network participant observes an act of noncompliance, he coordinates with other participants to inform the government agency in charge of solving the noncompliance problem. Capacity allowing for public broadcasting efforts, and/or direct legal action to resolve the noncompliance issue, is also created within the network.
The Sian Ka'an EZP does not represent by itself a magic solution but - used in conjunction with the site's management plan, administrative capacity and a good measure of strategic social support - it can become an innovative way to mitigate the effects of uncontrolled coastal development.

Canada passes law to help create representative system of marine parks
In June, Canada passed a bill to facilitate creation of a representative system of "national marine conservation areas", or NMCAs, to be overseen by Parks Canada, the federal parks agency. Although the concept of NMCAs existed previously under national parks law, the new legislation provides clearer guidance for establishing and managing these protected areas.
NMCAs are designed to be models for sustainable use. Among the new law's provisions are a ban on mineral and hydrocarbon development in NMCAs, and a requirement that each site include at least one zone that fully protects special features or sensitive ecosystem elements. The law instructs that NMCA management plans be based on principles of ecosystem management and the precautionary principle; this would include potential limits on fishing inside NMCAs.
Parks Canada is charged with creating a system of NMCAs to represent the range of ecosystems found in Canada's Atlantic, Arctic, and Pacific Oceans, as well as its Great Lakes. The first two NMCAs to be designated under the law are expected to be in Western Lake Superior (in the Great Lakes) and off the Queen Charlotte Islands on the Pacific coast, adjacent to the Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve.
Under Canadian law, NMCAs are differentiated from "Marine Protected Areas". The latter term refers specifically to protected sites overseen by Canada's Department of Fisheries and Oceans that are designated to protect specific marine resources and habitats. Francine Mercier, a senior planner for Parks Canada, said the two agencies are collaborating to ensure protection of a full representation of Canada's marine habitats. "These will be complementary systems," she said.

No-take zones in Solitary Islands Marine Park (Australia) take effect
No-take zones comprising 12% of the 710-km2 Solitary Islands Marine Park in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, took effect August 1, 2002. Initial government proposals for the zoning scheme had set the no-take percentage at 7%, but that figure was increased in response to public comments and meetings with stakeholders. These "sanctuary zones" will prohibit all fishing activity, including recreational; scuba diving is still allowed. Criteria used in the selection of these areas included representation of habitat type, biodiversity, and various natural or cultural features.
The sanctuary zones will be buffered by "habitat protection zones" that encompass a further 54% of the park and allow for the use of certain types of commercial fishing gear (trawling is prohibited). Roughly one-third of the park will serve as a general use area, where most types of commercial fishing will be allowed. Recreational anglers, prohibited from the sanctuary zones, will have access to the remaining 88% of the park. The zoning scheme is the first comprehensive plan for any NSW-run marine park.
Under state law, the main objectives of NSW marine parks are to conserve marine biodiversity and habitats, and maintain ecological processes. Where consistent with the above objectives, management plans are also to provide for the sustainable use of fish and opportunities for public appreciation and enjoyment. The NSW government announced an AU $4 million (US $2.1 million) initiative to buy out 30 commercial fishermen from the Solitary Islands Marine Park to ensure that the zoning plan does not cause an unsustainable shift in commercial fishing to other areas of the park.
Also in New South Wales, a new zoning plan for the state-run Jervis Bay Marine Park will take effect on October 1. Roughly 20% of the 220-km2 park will be no-take zones.

Dear MPA News:
Bill Ballantine's attempt to clarify terms for marine area conservation falls short of the mark (MPA News 4:1). Terminology has already been pretty much worked out in the past decade. To use the term "reserve" to mean only a fully protected area is not helpful. An area designated a marine reserve in many countries may include a mix of uses within its scope.
The confusion over terms and practices can be minimized by designated "zoning", which has been practiced for many years to address multiple use. With use zoning, certain areas within an MPA are selected for full protection. This is rational and simple, plus it provides space for general conservation surrounding the fully protected part - which Ballantine terms "reserve" and others call "no-take zone". IUCN terms such areas (zones) "strictly protected".
A discussion of zoning and terminology for multiple use areas and fully protected areas appears in "Zoning - lessons from the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park" (Ocean and Coastal Management, Vol. 45, Nos. 2&3, 2002, by J.C. Day).

Dear MPA News:
I read and strongly agreed with Tundi Agardy's contribution (MPA News 3:11) and I agree with the substance of Bill Ballantine's article in the July 2002 issue (4:1). However, there are two points I'd like your readers to know - in relation to nomenclature and scale - so that they understand Tundi's points.
1. The definition of MPAs used by IUCN, the World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA), the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC), etc. has seven categories. One of these, Category Ia, totally excludes "take" [i.e. is a no-take MPA]. The other, Cat Ib, allows only limited take by indigenous, traditional communities. The term "reserve" is often used to mean "no-take" but, like MPA, can mean a less protected area. Tundi was using the term MPA in its intended way, to include but not be limited to no-take MPAs or reserves.
2. Readers should be aware that, while Bill Ballantine's figure of 4.5% of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is no-take, this amounts to more than 16,000 km2. It would therefore be wrong to conclude that this amount is insignificant, since it exceeds by a great margin the total area of no-take MPAs in nearly any other country. As well, readers should be aware that trawling - perhaps the most damaging of fishing techniques - is prohibited in 50% (172,000 km2) of the MPA.

App of the Week: Berklee Music
Berklee College of Music, located in the historic city of Boston, Massachusetts, is the "world's premier learning lab for the music of today- and tomorrow."
Founded by MIT graduate & music mastermind Lawrence Berk, the college was once known as Berklee School of Music back in the 50s and 60s, and before that was known as Schillinger House from the mid 40s to 50s. The school at that time was the first U.S. school to branch out beyond classical music and teach jazz & commercial music.
Since then, Berklee College of Music has continued to attract talented students from all over the world – thee school is home to 99 alumni who have won 221 Grammy Awards in total. It is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, and is recognized as one of the top music schools in the U.S.
This month, Berklee released the official app for their award-winning online extension school Berkleemusic. In addition to exclusive content like videos, faculty blogs, and news, users can get free lessons and more in areas like music production guitar, music business, music theory, and performance.
According to Berklee, "there's something for you in this app – whether you're a seasoned veteran or a developing musician, a player, a singer, writer, producer, industry-type, or just a fan."
To download the Berklee Music app, visit http://road.ie/berklee.
