Arizona Wildcats
Cat Tracks: Wildcats suffer first home loss of season to UCLA
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we give you 'Cat Tracks', providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from Arizona's January 24 loss to UCLA. UCLA 84, Arizona 73.
The Good:
UA's backcourt proved to be the team's lone bright spot in defeat.
Nick Johnson scored a team-high 23 points (9-of-19 from the field) for Arizona, while Mark Lyons added 16.
Arizona went on a 10-0 run midway through the second half and cut the deficit to four points, but they couldn't pull off another late-game comeback.
The Bad:
The Wildcats got off to a sluggish start, missing 12 of their first 13 shots of the game. UCLA jumped out to a 16-point lead early in the first quarter.
Despite playing against a Bruins team that was short-handed, the 'Cats couldn't recover from their early shooting woes. Arizona shot a paltry 38.4 percent from the field and got outrebounded by UCLA 45-44.
In 33 minutes of play, Mark Lyons failed to even record a single assist. It's the second time this season that Lyons has gone assist-less in a game.
• The Wildcats suffered their first loss of the season at McKale Center. They haven't lost at home since they got beat by Bucknell in the first round of last year's NIT tournament.
• Arizona dropped to 16-2 overall and 4-2 in Pac-12 play this year.
• The 'Cats came into Thursday night's contest shooting 38.2 from three-point range but went cold against the Bruins, making just five of their 24 attempts from downtown.
Coming Up Next:
The Wildcats will host the USC Trojans on Saturday, January 26 at 5:00 p.m. MST.

Reserves by name
18 May 2007
Image: Mike Weedon
The Ouse Washes is one of Britain's largest areas of lowland wet grassland. It supports thousands of wintering waterfowl and scarce breeding birds, as well as a rich variety of invertebrates and aquatic flora.
The RSPB, along with the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Peterborough, and the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, owns over 80% of the washes and is managing the site to benefit all its wildlife.
We are maintaining the wet grassland for birds all year round. In winter this habitat provides feeding and roosting habitat for important numbers of Bewick's swans, whooper swans, wigeons, gadwalls, pintails and other wildfowl. In summer it supports breeding black-tailed godwits, plus garganeys, spotted crakes, snipe, lapwings and redshanks.
Most of the reserve's grasslands have never been ploughed, so we are retaining traditional cattle grazing and hay mowing – with some sheep and horse grazing – as the best form of conservation management. We also protect use regular patrols and predator control to protect breeding birds, and are working to create more wet grassland adjacent to the site.
We are managing all other habitats on the reserve for their biodiversity. This includes maintaining the ditches and open watercourses for their plant life, and managing the osier beds, mature willows and hawthorn hedgerows for their invertebrate communities. We are also maintaining our populations of farmland birds, and providing nest boxes for tree sparrows.
We regularly monitor wintering waterfowl and breeding birds, as well as vegetation structure, water quality, aquatic plants, invertebrates and other key biodiversity components. We are also encouraging research projects on site.
The reserve provides an excellent year-round wildfowl spectacle. We have visitor facilities to accommodate 10,000 visitors a year, and are building a positive profile with key audiences and local communities, while delivering our key conservation messages.
Meanwhile we are working with the Environment Agency and other statutory bodies to improve water management and quality. This helps protect the site from external threats – including uncontrolled flooding, which disrupts summer breeding birds, and phosphate pollution, which damages aquatic plant life.

SEATTLE -- Federal officials are seeking public comment on a proposal to have captive killer whale Lolita included in the endangered-species listing for Puget Sound orcas.
Activists consider the announcement Friday by the National Marine Fisheries Service another step toward releasing the whale that was captured in 1970 and is now at the Miami Seaquarium.
However, the federal government notes in the proposed amendment to the Endangered Species Act listing that releasing Lolita to the wild is not a guaranteed result of this change, because in some cases it's safer to keep the animal in captivity.
The Miami Seaquarium agrees with that assessment. General Manager Andrew Hertz noted that the fisheries statement says release of a captive animal into the wild may injure or kill that animal as well as pose a danger for wild populations of the same species.
"Even if Lolita is officially deemed part of an endangered species group, Miami Seaquarium would already be in full compliance with any additional requirements and protections," Hertz said in a statement. Lolita has been living at the marine park for 44 years and is as active and healthy as ever.
Lolita's fellow orcas spend most of their time in Washington's Puget Sound.

Australia Designates Massive, Interim Conservation Zone in Coral Sea
South Africa Announces Plan for Large Offshore MPA
Special Section: News from the International Marine Conservation Congress and Second International Marine Protected Areas Congress
Results of MPA News Poll: Appreciation Growing for EBM, and for MPAs' Place in It
Notes & News:
Mid-Atlantic Ridge - Enforcement technology - South Pacific LMMAs - U.S. coral habitat - MPA Fund
In May, the Australian government declared the area of the Coral Sea under its jurisdiction to be a "conservation zone". Under Australian environmental law, the declaration provides interim protection while the area is assessed for possible inclusion in one or more Commonwealth marine reserves. The 972,000-km2 Coral Sea Conservation Zone extends from the eastward boundary of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park to the edge of the Australian EEZ, where it borders the waters of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu.
The new conservation zone indicates the government's interest in the area and applies new permit requirements to some existing commercial activities and scientific research. Environment Minister Peter Garrett said the goal of the conservation zone is to protect the Coral Sea environment from increasing pressures while a detailed assessment of the region is undertaken. "The conservation zone will allow for extensive consultation with local communities and stakeholders before any permanent protection measures are proposed," said Garrett.
Area to be assessed in regional planning process
The Australian portion of the Coral Sea lies in the country's East Marine Region. There, Australia is conducting marine bioregional planning as part of a national marine planning effort. [Australia's first marine region to undergo such planning was the Southeast, whose process was described in the June 2004 and February 2006 issues of MPA News.] Assessment of potential permanent protection for the Coral Sea will be undertaken as part of the East regional process. In addition to consulting stakeholders, the assessment will analyze environmental, economic, and social values of the Coral Sea area, as well as existing and potential future uses. Marine bioregional planning is intended to provide the foundation for conservation and sustainable management of Australia's marine environment, including the development of new MPA networks.
Pew Environment Group, an NGO, has led a campaign for all of Australia's Coral Sea to be designated a permanent no-take area ("Huge No-Take Area Proposed for Australian Coral Sea", MPA News 10:4). The Coral Sea campaign includes other NGOs, several Australian marine scientists, and former Australian Navy officials. Imogen Zethoven, campaign director for Pew, calls the conservation zone declaration "a very significant step forward."
"Pew and other conservation groups are keen for a decision to be made about long-term protection of the Coral Sea in a no-take marine reserve by the end of next year [2010]," says Zethoven. "We are encouraged by Minister Garrett's recognition of the area as unique and environmentally significant."
"The Coral Sea is one of the last remaining places on Earth where populations of large ocean fish - sharks, tuna, and billfish - have not been drastically reduced," says Nicola Temple of the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS). "Consequently, AMCS welcomes the Australian Government's announcement of the Coral Sea Conservation Zone, but it is only a first step in fully recognizing and permanently safeguarding this unique and iconic region."
More details on the Coral Sea Conservation Zone are available at www.environment.gov.au/coasts/coral-sea.html.

In May, the South African government announced its intent to designate a large, multiple-use MPA around the Prince Edward Islands - two islands in the sub-Antarctic Indian Ocean located roughly 1770 km southeast of mainland South Africa. The Prince Edward Islands MPA would total 180,633 km2 in area, covering one-third of South Africa's EEZ around the islands. The MPA would include a no-take Sanctuary Zone (4400 km2) as well as other zones with various use restrictions. Bottom-trawling and gillnetting would be banned throughout the site. The proposal is open for public comment until 6 July 2009.
MPA News spoke with Alan Boyd, a Deputy Director in South Africa's Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism (DEAT), about the proposed MPA:
MPA News: The Prince Edward Islands have been subject to substantial poaching in the past. Considering the remoteness of the islands, how does the South African government anticipate enforcing the regulations of the proposed MPA?
Alan Boyd: In addition to our Navy, South Africa has a deep-sea environmental protection vessel (the Sarah Baartman), an offshore research vessel (the Africana), and the Antarctic supply vessel SA Agulhas, which visits the region annually for approximately a month. In terms of the proposal, two South African fishing vessels will be permitted to fish in the area, with observers on board, and they are in the region for several months. Together, the government vessels and two permitted fishing vessels will constitute a significant surveillance presence in the region. But we will also rely on support from other nations in alerting us and, when appropriate, assisting us in enforcing regulations. The enhanced protection status will also allow greater penalties against transgressors. This MPA is a test case to pilot international cooperation, including in the areas of monitoring, surveillance, compliance, and research.
MPA News: What are the specific conservation goals associated with the core Sanctuary Area, which would extend 12 nm from the coast of the islands?
Boyd: The conservation goals are to ensure a very high level of protection to the whole of this sub-Antarctic island ecosystem, and in particular Prince Edward Island which is still a pristine, uninhabited environment. [Editor's note: The other island in the archipelago is Marion Island, where there is a small research and weather station.] In the Sanctuary Area, the marine habitat, seafloor, and all species will be protected - invertebrates, fish, sea birds, and marine mammals - thus linking up with protection of the interdependent terrestrial environment and its species. The Sanctuary Area itself lies in the center of four larger restricted areas that will also provide a high degree of protection to different habitats.
MPA News: South Africa approved a National Protected Area Expansion Strategy (NPAES) this year. In what ways does the proposed MPA address issues raised in the Strategy?
Boyd: The NPAES has the goal of achieving cost-effective protected area expansion to sustain biodiversity and ecological processes, as well as resilience to climate change. The proposed MPA supports all these. The MPA is underpinned by a detailed science plan, and has been supported by a draft management and compliance plan. It will provide South Africa with our first MPA in the "offshore" environment. It also follows the Strategy in protecting a representative set of habitat types.
MPA News: What percentage of South African waters would be within MPAs if this MPA is designated?
Boyd: The percentage of South African waters in MPAs is currently measured in two ways in the NPAES - namely, by coastline length and by area. In addition there are the concepts of total protection of marine living resources, and partial protection where there is harvesting in certain areas and/or of certain species. In terms of coastline length, the percentage under total protection in South African MPAs would increase from 9% to 13%, whereas the area of South African waters within MPAs [with either total or partial protection] would increase from less than 1% to over 10%.

|BOX: Proposed MPA was five years in planning
Five years ago, South Africa's then-Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, Marthinus van Schalkwyk, first announced governmental intent to declare an MPA in the Prince Edward Islands. Following that announcement, WWF South Africa worked closely with the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism to complete a planning and stakeholder consultation process. Plans developed include a legal analysis, spatial conservation plan, and draft management plan. A report containing the plans is available at www.wwf.org.za/?section=Publication_LivingWaters.
When the South African government released its detailed proposal for the MPA last month, Deon Nel, head of the WWF Sanlam Living Waters Partnership, called it an historic day for marine conservation. "All of South Africa's current MPAs are located very close inshore," said Nel. "The commitment of the first large offshore MPA moves South Africa into a new era of marine conservation."

Special Section:
More than 1200 people from over 70 countries gathered in May in Washington, DC, at the International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC) and Second International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC2). The joint meeting provided a broad range of news and viewpoints from researchers, managers, government officials, NGOs, and commercial interests. Travel grants provided by the conference organizers supported 24 individuals from 22 countries.
MPA News attended the joint meeting and will feature selected findings in this and next month's edition:
What mollusks can tell us about larval export from marine reserves
The concept of larval export is central to the role of no-take marine reserves in fisheries management. As the reasoning goes, fish that are protected inside reserves live to maturity and reproduce. At least some of their young cross the reserve boundary into unprotected waters, mature, and are eventually caught by fishers. However, the export of larvae has historically been difficult to demonstrate, particularly as it impacts fisheries yield or catch-per-unit-effort in nearby fisheries.
"The main reason larval export is so difficult to detect is because the benefits are very diffuse and therefore subtle, while natural variability of recruitment is very high in both time and space," says Robin Pelc, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of California at Santa Barbara. "So, for example, export may result in an increase in recruitment of about 10-15% across several hundred kilometers compared to recruitment before reserves were put into place. In total this is a huge benefit. But it is very difficult to detect relative to natural variability, especially if there are no good data from before reserve establishment, which is often the case."
At IMCC/IMPAC2, Pelc presented research that described a new way of looking at the problem, based on her analysis of several larval export studies. (Her co-authors were Steve Gaines, Robert Warner, and Claire Paris.) Pelc believes larval export occurs regularly, but can reasonably be detected only for species with short-distance larval dispersal, like mollusk species.
"We found that all the existing empirical evidence for larval export - mainly recruitment studies that found increases in recruitment of harvested species near reserve boundaries after the onset of protection, or higher recruitment near reserve boundaries compared to more distant sites - focused on mollusks," says Pelc. "We believe this was in part because of the shorter dispersal scale of mollusks (which on average have a planktonic larval duration, or PLD, in the range of 10-20 days), compared to fish and crustaceans (each with average PLDs on the scale of about 30-40 days). Larval export for these longer-distance dispersers may just be too diffuse to detect, even though it is likely occurring and in fact of greater magnitude and more widespread than export in the shorter-distance dispersers. This is troubling because it suggests that the types of field studies we do to detect larval export just are not capable of detecting export for species like fish and crustaceans with long PLDs - species where the effect is probably the most important in a commercial sense."
In short, says Pelc, the longer the dispersal distance is, the greater the benefits but the harder they are to detect. She says study designs that sample across both a time series (before and after reserve establishment) and a spatial gradient are more likely to be able to detect subtle changes in recruitment. "In addition," she says, "model-based approaches that account for regional oceanography and natural variability in recruitment can be used to make more sophisticated predictions of what the signal of export should look like, and thereby be able to detect it. And as genetic techniques improve, there is also promise for using these techniques in combination with larval sampling and recruitment studies to determine where larvae produced in the reserves are going."
Until then, she says, researchers must rely on changes in fisheries yield or catch-per-unit-effort when reserves are designated to infer whether larval export is occurring. She cautions, though, that such studies have trouble differentiating effects of larval export from the effects of changes in management policies and fishing practices that may occur at the same time as reserve protection.

Older and larger reserves have more large fish: implications for network design
In a presentation of research he published last year in the journal Ecology Letters, Joachim Claudet of the University of Salento (Italy) stated that no-take marine reserves that are older and larger are more effective in protecting commercially targeted fish stocks. Specifically, the older and larger a marine reserve is, the greater the density of commercial fishes inside it are (compared to outside the reserve), and the greater the density of larger fish, too. The study analyzed 58 datasets from 19 European marine reserves.
Claudet says the reserve-size dependency of the response to protection has implications for the design of MPA networks. Reserve design theory in the context of fisheries management has often emphasized several smaller reserves rather than fewer large ones, to increase edge effects for fishermen. However, Claudet's findings suggest that creating several smaller reserves may actually be counterproductive to fisheries in that it limits the density of breeding populations within those reserves.
"Large MPAs are potentially more effective for fisheries management since they may have higher densities of breeding populations compared to smaller ones," says Claudet. "Moreover, if a network of several smaller reserves is established and if most fish spilling outside the reserves are fished, you lose connection between the reserves (at least at the adult level) and the several reserves are not part of a network anymore."
However, he adds, socio-economic issues need to be considered in network design, too, and may counterbalance the advantages of large MPAs. "Large no-take zones may increase the displacement costs for fishermen, depending on the MPA location and the distance the fishermen must travel," says Claudet. "Enforcement costs and time at sea are also more expensive with larger MPAs than for smaller MPAs. And, finally, very large MPAs in coastal areas with high human densities may increase conflicts between different users and stakeholders due to potentially higher concentration of users outside the MPA, due to displacement. If the MPA is not well-enforced or if it cannot be accepted by the local communities due to the considerations stated above, the MPA will not be effective, whatever its objectives are."

Web-based campaign launched for MPAs in U.K.
A new Web-based campaign to engage the public in planning MPAs in the U.K. - called Your Seas Your Voice - was announced at IMCC/IMPAC2. The Marine Conservation Society, a U.K. NGO, devised the campaign to compile data for informing regional MPA planning efforts, as well as to raise public awareness of the marine environment and the problems facing it.
The campaign website is www.yourseasyourvoice.com. Visitors are invited to tell the website about an ocean place they want to see protected. Through a six-step process, the visitor indicates that place on a map, describes why it is important (e.g., "Spectacular scenery", "It is isolated and secret"), and suggests which activities if any should be prohibited there. The questionnaire also asks the visitor how he or she primarily uses the ocean, such as for recreation, commercial fishing, or industry.
The U.K. Marine and Coastal Access Bill, which sets out plans for a new network of marine conservation zones around Britain's coast (MPA News 9:10), is currently under consideration by Parliament.
"We tested Your Seas Your Voice in Autumn 2008 by building a very simple version of the current website," says Jean-Luc Solandt, Biodiversity Policy Officer for the Marine Conservation Society. "We learned that the information from the questionnaire was useful at identifying specific areas of U.K. coasts that were of importance to people who had a wildlife conservation interest. The main challenge now is to promote and engage the wider general public in completing the questionnaire - those who are not marine conservation specialists. Our aim is to make them feel they can and should enter the information. If we can engage a wider section of society, the stakeholder-led MPA development projects (such as Finding Sanctuary in Southwest England - www.finding-sanctuary.org) should see that there is societal support for MPAs that extends beyond the usual range of stakeholder groups." Solandt says he is interested to hear from MPA News readers on the Your Seas Your Voice approach and website, and the value of its results.

Case study: Tobago Cays Marine Park and stakeholder involvement
In a presentation at IMCC/IMPAC2 on Caribbean MPA governance, Patrick McConney of the University of the West Indies (Barbados) offered the case of Tobago Cays Marine Park. McConney described an unsuccessful attempt by the government of St. Vincent & the Grenadines to privatize the park in 2003. Stakeholder involvement played a role both in opposing that plan and in the park's effective rebirth since then.
Consisting of five small, uninhabited islands and a horseshoe-shaped reef, the Tobago Cays are the Grenadines' most popular anchorage for yachts, charter boats, and cruise lines. The government of St. Vincent & the Grenadines purchased the islands from a family in 1999 and began managing them as the Tobago Cays Marine Park. However, following years of lackluster management with meager budgets and low enforcement presence, the government entertained an offer from a private resort developer to take over management of the park. The plan involved building several structures on the islands. In addition, the private company would retain a portion of the park's user fee revenue as profit.
Concerned by the idea of losing the islands to a private foreign company, citizens groups protested the plan and a new "Friends of the Tobago Cays" organization was formed to oppose privatization. Eventually, following months of political pressure, the privatization plan was dropped.
This essentially allowed TCMP a new beginning, says McConney. "TCMP was not impressive in assessments of co-management potential and MPA management effectiveness done in 2004 and 2005," says McConney. "However it was selected as a demonstration site for an initiative called the Protected Areas and Associated Livelihoods Project (OPAAL), operated by the Environment and Sustainable Development Unit of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS-ESDU - www.oecs.org/esdu). In 2006, the TCMP was officially 're-launched'. It has received OPAAL and government support that has included policy-, livelihood-, and capacity-development studies; a management plan; infrastructure such as a patrol boat; additional staff; new user fees; and other revenue-generation arrangements. It has had a make-over."
Although stakeholder involvement in current TCMP management is largely consultative rather than collaborative, says McConney, it is slowly approaching co-management. "Small MPAs such as the TCMP, which are used mainly for nautical tourism, can perhaps be run by a government office that has adequate capacity since it is primarily service-oriented," he says. "However, the stakeholders still play an important role in informally monitoring and evaluating the state authority's performance. A key point is to ensure that the informal and formal criteria for evaluating management effectiveness do not diverge as may happen when stakeholders are not closely involved. To address this, OPAAL places emphasis on communication for public awareness."

Next month: More news from IMCC/IMPAC2
In next month's MPA News, we will report on more findings from
IMCC/IMPAC2, including a feature on lessons learned from MPA networking
efforts worldwide.
|BOX: World Ocean Congress calls for more MPAs
The IMCC/IMPAC2 was not the only major ocean-related meeting in May. At the World Ocean Conference in Manado, Indonesia, representatives of 75 nations called for more and better-managed MPAs worldwide among other measures to manage the oceans more effectively. In their Manado Declaration, ministers resolved to "further establish and effectively manage marine protected areas, including representative resilient networks, [...] recognizing the importance of their contribution to ecosystem goods and services, and to contribute to the effort to conserve biodiversity, sustainable livelihoods and to adapt to climate change."
RESULTS OF MPA NEWS POLL: APPRECIATION GROWING FOR EBM, AND FOR MPAs' PLACE IN IT
The April 2009 edition of MPA News featured an article on the role of MPAs in ecosystem-based management (EBM). We invited readers to participate in an online poll on the subject, with the goal of measuring attitudes on the relationship between these management measures. MPA News conducted an identical poll in 2006 (MPA News 8:6).
Several dozen readers from around the world participated in the poll - thank you. A summary of your answers is below. Most noteworthy is an apparent shift in appreciation for the importance of ecosystem-based management to the success of MPAs. Whereas three years ago results were evenly mixed, this year's respondents strongly stated that EBM of surrounding water and land was necessary for MPAs to achieve their conservation goals.
The poll results are below, with a comparison to the 2006 findings:
Question 1: Can an MPA be successful if there is no ecosystem-based
management of adjacent water and land outside the MPA?
2006: Yes 52% - No 48% - Don't know/Not sure 0%
2009: Yes 37% - No 59% - Don't know/Not sure 4%
Question 2: Can ecosystem-based management be successful if MPAs
are not used as a component in that management system?
2006: Yes 46% - No 48% - Don't know/Not sure 6%
2009: Yes 32% - No 50% - Don't know/Not sure 18%
Question 3: If you can, please give examples of places
where you think ecosystem-based management is being implemented effectively.
Answer (2009): The most common answer in this year's poll, shared by 59% of respondents, was either no response at all or a variation on "I don't know any examples." The second-most common answer was the Great Barrier Reef (9%). Other places mentioned by multiple respondents included New Zealand, Fiji, California's MPA system, and the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
Three respondents were selected at random to receive an MPA News canvas tote bag.
Large areas on Mid-Atlantic Ridge closed to bottom fisheries
In April the North-East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) closed several areas along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge to bottom fisheries. The new closures total 330,000 km2 and are intended to protect deep-sea diversity from fishing gear that contacts the seafloor. The protected areas are all on the high seas, outside any national jurisdiction. Contracting parties to the NEAFC include Denmark, the E.U., Iceland, Norway, and the Russian Federation. A press release on the closures, including maps and a history of other NEAFC conservation measures, is available at www.neafc.org/system/files/vmes_press_rel_april2009.pdf.
St. Eustatius Marine Park uses technology to track illegal anchoring
In recent months two commercial vessels have been boarded and fined by representatives of St. Eustatius Marine Park in the Caribbean for anchoring outside the park's designated anchoring zone. The offending vessels - a cargo vessel and a tanker - damaged coral reefs in the marine park by dragging their anchors. The violations were determined through the park's use of the Automatic Identification System, or AIS - described in the September 2008 issue of MPA News ("MPA Tip: Tracking Ships to Avoid Damage to Sensitive Areas", MPA News 10:3). Since December 2004, AIS has been required by the International Maritime Organization to be installed on virtually all large commercial ships worldwide. The technology automatically transmits a vessel's name, position, and course by VHF signal. St. Eustatius Marine Park tracks these signals with an antenna and base station, both on land. The marine park is in St. Eustatius, one of the islands that make up the Netherlands Antilles.

Report available on locally managed marine areas in South Pacific
A new report analyzes locally managed marine areas (LMMAs) in the South Pacific, including their contributions to integrated island management. Published by the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) and WWF, the report provides a regional inventory of community-run management areas and describes how they can help address the challenges South Pacific nations face, such as climate change and rapid population growth. The authors offer several recommendations for LMMA management, including that traditional tenure and governance systems be respected and that integrated island management serve as the primary goal rather than simply designating protected areas. The geographic area covered by the report includes the countries or territories of Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Solomon Islands, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, French Polynesia, Samoa, Tonga, American Samoa, Wallis and Futuna, Cook Islands, Tuvalu, Niue, and Tokelau. The 148-page report Status And Potential of Locally-Managed Marine Areas in the South Pacific: Meeting Nature Conservation and Sustainable Livelihood Targets through Widespread Implementation of LMMAs is available at www.sprep.org/att/publication/000646_LMMA_report.pdf.
Report analyzes how much U.S. coral habitat is protected
The NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program has released a report that provides digital boundaries for MPA sites in the five U.S. coral territories, the state of Hawaii, and the state of Florida, and assesses how much coral reef habitat is protected within those MPAs. The analysis shows that the percentage of coral reef ecosystem resources in MPAs and no-take areas varies substantially by location. Within the five U.S. coral territories, the U.S. Virgin Islands have the largest percentage of their coral reef resources in MPAs in general (64%). American Samoa has protected the largest percentage in no-take status (15%). The report Coral Reef Habitat Assessment for U.S. Marine Protected Areas is available at www.coris.noaa.gov/activities/habitat_assessment.
MPA Fund launched in U.S.
In the U.S. the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), in partnership with the National Marine Protected Areas Center, has established a new fund to assist in the development and implementation of a national system of MPAs. Called the National Marine Protected Area Fund, it will comprise separate accounts established by government agencies, private foundations, and/or corporations. Grants from the fund will be used to advance the conservation and management of ecosystems and ecological processes, renewable living resources, and cultural resources. The goal is to grow this fund to US $2 million annually in grant awards, subject to the federal appropriations process.

Summer Break Brings Fun… and Weight Gain for your Kids!Heather Neal
If you think what kids eat at school doesn't matter, you might want to think again. A recent study showed that weight gain in kids during summer break is all too common. Maybe these healthy school lunch programs are working after all! Much like adults pack on the pounds over holidays, kids gain weight at a faster rate when they're out of school, according to a study in the American Journal of Public Health. A study published in the Journal of School Health found the same scenario.
So why's this happening? A proposed theory is that the lack of structure and organization in most kids' summer days leads to excessive snacking and a lack of physical activity. So even though we bash the nutritional quality of school lunches, perhaps they are helping somewhat after all.
So what's a kid (or a mom) to do?
- Create a schedule. Just because school's not in session doesn't mean you can't have a loosely structured routine. Doing so may help keep your kids active and distract them from snacking with boredom.
- Set a goal. There's no doubt it can be tough to get motivated on summer break. Picking a goal to tackle with your kids can help drag you off the couch. Sign up for a 5K, pick a mountain to hike, or work your way up to swimming 40 laps in a row. Whatever it is, pick something you enjoy.
- Pay attention to what you eat. With BBQs every weekend, fun summer festivals to attend, and lots of refreshing frozen treats to choose from, its easy to get carried away. Filling half your plate with veggies before adding anything else may help you – and your kids, if they are willing – from going overboard on less than stellar choices.
- Stay active. Play tag, invent obstacle courses, or play on a jungle gym. If it's too hot to run around, try pulling out the sprinkler, water guns, or head to a pool.

The Army says it has good reason to believe that unstable mental health is the reason Spc. Ivan Lopez shot 19 people at the Fort Hood base in Texas on Wednesday. Three died and 16 were wounded in the rampage.
"We have very strong evidence that he had a medical history that indicates unstable psychiatric or psychological condition. We believe that to be a fundamental, underlying cause," Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, senior officer at Fort Hood, explained.
Army investigators are also looking into an argument that Lopez had with another service member before the attack, but Army officials told lawmakers they had no reason to believe that Lopez would harm anyone.
"We had no indication on the record of that examination that there was any sign of likely violence either to himself or to others, no suicidal ideation," Army Secretary John McHugh told a congressional hearing.
Investigators don't believe Lopez targeted specific soldiers during his attack, and they don't believe he had any ties to potential terrorists, although they have not ruled out that possibility.
Neighbors have expressed shock over the shooting.
"I saw him at lunch," neighbor Shaneice Adams said. "He seemed perfectly fine. It was just mind-blowing, really."
Churches in the area say it's a lot for the community to deal with just five years after the previous shooting at Fort Hood and a little over 20 years since the massacre at Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen.
Dr. Randy Wallace, pastor at First Baptist Church in Killeen, told CBN News that this week's shooting is taking a toll on people in the area.
"It re-opens the Ft. Hood massacre," he said. "We had a number of our civilians that worked in the room where the Fort Hood massacre took place. Five years is not very long to be processing witnessing a mass murder."
Wallace re-wrote this Sunday's sermon after Wednesday's shooting. His new focus is Romans 8.
"The corruption of this world doesn't challenge the power of God," he said, "and the corruption of this world doesn't separate us from the love of God."
It's a powerful message for thousands at Fort Hood and in Killeen, struggling to find comfort and hope.

An easy joke.
Sandy Alderson upon being hired by the Mets: "This is like Moneyball . . . but with money."
Chorus upon hearing Friday's announcement about the Mets and Bernie Madoff: "No, it's just Moneyball."
So on Monday afternoon, Alderson several times mentioned his mild distaste for the current payroll – which resides somewhere in the $140 to $150 million range. The team would spend, he explained. Just not that much.
"My sense is that our payroll is a little higher this year than I would have liked it to have been," Alderson said. "But we are where we are. Whether that means we drop back in future years to some extent, I don't know.
"But we will continue to expend money at very high levels. And I think be among the highest payrolls in baseball."
Except what we talk about when we talk about payroll is the Yankees. They set the market for spending in New York, for obvious reasons. Alderson, of course, chuckles at the notion that he must spend like his counterpart, Brian Cashman. Past the $200-million mark each of the past three seasons, the Yankees reside on a different economic plane than most everyone.
"I don't know that I have to justify the differential," Alderson said.
Here's the thing: A baseball team can win with a $100 million payroll. Let's take a look at some playoff payrolls (World Series winners in bold). We nabbed all our figures from Cot's Baseball Contracts.
AL East: Yankees - $195 million
AL Central: Twins - $63 million
AL West: Athletics - $62 million
AL Wild Card: Tigers - $82 million
NL East: Mets - $101 million
NL Central: Cardinals - $89 million
NL West: Padres - $70 million
NL Wild Card: Dodgers - $98 million
AL East: Red Sox - $143 million
AL Central: Indians - $62 million
AL West: Angels - $109 million
AL Wild Card: Yankees - $190 million
NL East: Phillies - $89 million
NL Central: Cubs - $100 million
NL West: Diamondbacks - $52 million
NL Wild Card: Rockies - $54 million
AL East: Rays - $43 million
AL Central: White Sox - $121 million
AL West: Angels - $119 million
AL Wild Card: Red Sox - $133 million
NL East: Phillies - $98 million
NL Central: Cubs - $118 million
NL West: Dodgers - $118 million
NL Wild Card: Brewers - $81 million
AL East: Yankees - $201 million
AL Central: Twins - $65 million
AL West: Angels - $114 million
AL Wild Card: Red Sox - $122 million
NL East: Phillies - $113 million
NL Central: Cardinals - $89 million
NL West: Dodgers - $100 million
NL Wild Card: Rockies - $75 million
AL East: Rays - $73 million
AL Central: Twins - $98 million
AL West: Rangers - $65 million
AL Wild Card: Yankees - $213 million
NL East: Phillies - $138 million
NL Central: Reds - $76 million
NL West: Giants - $96 million
NL Wild Card: Braves - $84 million
Again: We're not stupid. We see the consistent presence of the Yankees. We see the Red Sox. We see how Philadelphia's payroll rose year after year. We see the jump Minnesota made in 2010.
But what that shows, at least to us, is that sustaining that level of performance is expensive. You can build a foundation without excess: Rookie contracts. Market inefficiencies. Shrewd trades. And we really don't need to wax poetic about spending properly in the draft* and in the international market.
*The fine folks at Amazin Avenue explained the team's failings here in succinct fashion.
The Mets are rebuilding right now. That much is obvious. So, for Alderson, the reduction of payroll does not signal a move backward. It signals progress.

Willis Tower has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
Chicago's Sears (Willis) Tower Skydeck - The Ledge Not content with having the tallest building in America, the owners of the Sears (Willis) Tower in Chicago have installed four glass box viewing platforms which stick out of the building 103 floors up. The balconies, collectively called The Ledge, are suspended 1353 feet in the air and jut out four feet from the building's Skydeck. They are 4' x 10' x10', and are made of solid glass, floor included. Designers say The Ledge has been purposely created to make visitors feel as if they are floating above the city. The reward is unobstructed views of Chicago from the building's west side and a heart-stopping vista of the street and Chicago River below - for those brave enough to look straight down. It's like walking on ice. John Huston, one of the owners of the Willis Tower, even admitted to getting 'a little queasy' when he ventured out on to the balcony. However, after 30 or 40 trips, he seems to have gotten used to it. Even the floor of the platforms are glass - few are brave enough to look straight down. Although some adults felt dizzy after experiencing The Ledge, children seemed to take it in their stride. Five-year-old Anna Kane spreads out on the floor of the 10 ft square box which is 1353 ft up. The Ledge is the world's most awesome view, the world's most precipitous view, the view with the most wow in the world. The balconies, 10 feet high and 10 feet wide, can hold five tons, and have glass which is 1.5 inch thick ...

Take a tour of Willis Tower in Chicago, United States -- part of the World's Greatest Attractions series by GeoBeats. For 25 years, it was the world's tallest building.

From its skydeck, you have the ability to see 4 states. The Skydeck also features glass boxes which look 1353 feet down to the street below. Previously known as the Sears Tower, it is one of Chicago's biggest attractions.

On April 16, 2010, Kellogg Community College's Tech Club erected a 17 foot tall replica of the Chicago Sears/Willis Tower, at Lakeview Square Mall in Battle Creek as part of the Food Bank's annual Canned Food Sculpture Contest. The sculpture consisted of 700 boxes of Post Fruity Pebbles, 80 feet of 2' x 4's, and two 4' x 8' sheets of plywood. The sculpture won the "Mall's Choice" award and the "Most Extreme" award. Computer-Aided Drafting design second-year students in Randy Kopf's class designed the structure. The Tech Club would like to thank the Food Bank, Post Cereals, and MC Sports on Beckley Road (for the loan of the tall ladders).
An interview recorded on April 20, 2010, immediately following an IABC/Chicago professional development seminar. On July 16, 2009, the Sears Tower officially changed its name to Willis Tower. The name change was a culmination of a larger transformation taking place at the global icon, which in the weeks and months prior had announced significant leasing wins, debuted a new Skydeck Chicago experience in The Ledge, and unveiled plans for a comprehensive sustainable retrofit to the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. In just a few weeks, it would announce another marquee tenant United Airlines. Listen to this video interview of Randy Stancik, vice president of US Equities who leads marketing and communications at the building and its Skydeck; and Bill Utter, senior vice president of global communications consultancy Fleishman-Hillard.

[Filmed with FLIP] Footage of my first-ever visit to Willis Tower in Downtown Chicago. Taken on the afternoon/evening of March 6th, 2010.

It is an awesome view from above looking down on other buildings in Chicago....Then there's the other stuff..I'm playing around dancing in McD's after hearing some old school song there....And of course, there's a lot of walking in the end especially during cold weather.

It's a glass ledge...1353 feet in the air in Chicago. It's at the top of the Sears Tower (it's actually the Willis Tower now but the name was changed last week so it's kind of hard to get use to). I almost peed my pants--then I made everyone else go first to test it out. If you're ever here in the city, you should probably do it. Besides the fact that it makes you want to hurl looking down, it makes for some awesome photo opps. :) Follow sky deck on twitter @skydeckchicago or follow me, it's coo too @charlottespeaks

3-Day Forecast
BOCA RATON, Fla. - Michael Penn is set to graduate from Fordham University in two weeks.
"Hopefully I have a job so I can stay and live in New York City," said Penn.
But after he gets his masters in business degree, he isn't planning on returning home to Boca Raton.
"Its not for me, not right now. New York is where the action is. New York is where thriving businesses are," said Penn.
So Penn came up with a plan. Last Thursday the 23-year-old set up a booth outside of Goldman Sachs complete with donuts and coffee.
His goal was to give every employee at the company a "good morning breakfast."
"Some people were like what are you doing? Other people were like... hey free coffee, free donuts, of course," said Penn.
With his website printed on a banner and hundreds of resumes on hand, he was ready. And so were potential employers.
"He said my girlfriend saw you doing this, she took a picture, " said Penn. "I'm intrigued. I want to speak with you, how fast can you get down to my office?," said a potential employer.
His mom is not surprised by his ingenuity.
"If he wanted to stay in New York he had to get a job and start paying rent," said Barbera Penn.
She says Michael's always been a go getter, graduating with honors from Spanish River High School while winning dozens of trophies at chess tournaments.

HOLMDEL — One day, departing seniors will look back on the 2012-13 season with a mile-wide smile.
One day, up-and-comers will be wide-eyed over the prospects of parlaying it into the future.
Wednesday — at least for the moments following the fifth-seeded Ewing High School girls' basketball team's 55-33 loss to fourth-seeded Holmdel in the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group II Tournament — wasn't that day.
"They're just frustrated," said coach Mike Reynolds.
Understandably so.
It was a tough one. Holmdel opened on a 15-4 run, went into the half up 10, rocketed on a 9-2 run to start the third quarter, and through the last 11 minutes of play outscored the Blue Devils 22-7.
Tougher, maybe, were the bad breaks. The Blue Devils lost top players for extended periods of the regular season and both postseason tournaments, and at one point had just seven healthy players.
But that only accentuates their legacy.
This season, the Blue Devils punched just their second winning season and first state sectional tournament win in a decade.
And with just two starters graduating, a remaining nucleus of two juniors and one sophomore is poised to take the baton and run.
Needless to say, then, between what happened this season and what can come after because of it, this team's footprint is firmly pressed.
Even if the players can't see it yet.
"Right now, they're a little upset," Reynolds said. "But one day, they'll be able to look back on this and realize what they meant to this team and this program."
In the meantime, sophomore center Myleisha Richardson looked back on her team.
"They all meant so much to me," she said. "Candace (Scott-Mason) helped me open up as a person, Sid(ney Griffin) always helped me keep my head up, and Sarah (Kelley) always had that smiley, cheery attitude.
"It's a lot to lose."
EWING — Candace Scott-Mason 2-0-0-4, Sarah Kelley 3-0-2-8, Myleisha Richardson 6-0-4-16, Sidney Griffin 1-0-0-2, Charite Kelley 0-1-0-3. Totals: 12-1-6-33.
HOLMDEL — Lauren Kelly 4-0-1-9, Megan Graziano 4-0-3-11, Tori Cardaci 6-0-0-12, Cassie Fontana 1-0-2-4, Tara Inman 4-2-3-17, Ashley Hyde 1-0-0-2. Totals: 20-2-9-55.
Ewing (15-8) 10 11 5 7—33
Holmdel (18-8) 22 9 17 7—55

In an article at CVG, an anonymous EA source reveals that Nintendo's strained relationship with EA was gone before it started, thanks to EA's focus on games that only sell blockbusters. The article calls for many changes to be made at Nintendo, including modernizing their direction for their platforms and listening to what gamers want, rather than rehashing the same IPs over and over. It's an interesting read, but one that will likely anger many of you, considering it recounts Nintendo's recent failures with past failures and what Nintendo needs to do to change.
Regardless of whether you feel Nintendo is succeeding or failing, words from an anonymous EA source in the article make clear that Electronic Arts isn't keen on supporting any platform that can't produce massive sales.
"Nintendo was dead to us very quickly," one EA source told me when asked about why the publisher fell out with Nintendo so soon after committing to the system.
"It became a kids IP platform and we don't really make games for kids. That was pretty true across the other labels too. Even the Mass Effect title on Wii U, which was a solid effort, could never do big business, and EA like Activision is only focused on games that can be big franchises".
This is a symptom of big Western publishers and has been for years now, even with those that have supported the Wii U. Ubisoft continues to release Assassin's Creed titles year after year and the same can be said for Activision with its annual Call of Duty releases. Is the serialization of games hurting third-party support for Nintendo? According to EA, the answer is yes.

The Premier League kicked off this weekend, joining the likes of Ligue 1, the Eredivisie and the Russian Premier League, which were already underway, as most big clubs and leagues get settled into the rigours of competitive action once again.
While plenty of positives can be taken from most games for each side, there have of course been a few incidents involving moments of madness or downright stupidity.
Here are the biggest blunders of the weekend, starting with a much-publicised incident over in France.


text: Perhaps- but price increases do not always fall on the retailer, prices raise before product reaches the retailer in some cases (raw material cost fluctuations, new pricing strategies, etc.). With Yuketen, it could be a case of retailers setting the price based on the demand they see or the availability of the product in their respective region. From what I have gathered online, our prices are among some of the lowest for Yuketen product.

Free "RoboForex analytics center" for all clients. Read more...
Forex market in itself is the same as any other: commodity market, stock market, or the one that is near your house. All of them have similar features; the difference is only in the goods offered and the methods of making a deal.
Since Forex is a currency market, it's obvious that the product it offers is foreign exchange currency. Your job as a trader is to buy currency at a cheaper rate and sell it at the more expensive. The difference is your profit. You can also do it in reverse. Knowing that the price for the currency will go down, you sell it at the expensive rate and buy it back later at a cheaper price. The difference in price makes your forex profit
Beginners may find it difficult to understand how to trade forex and how to make money in Forex trading. In fact, the Forex trading is no big deal and everyone can do it. All you have to do at first is to open an account at RoboForex broker website, download and install the program where you can trade – trade terminal. You can work just as on demo-account, where you can practice and sharpen your skills as a trader, so on the real account, where you can make real money.
Forex newbies sometimes find it difficult to understand how exactly one can gain on the differences in exchange rates. To explain this, let us consider an example - how to forex trade. Once you open a forex trade account with a RoboForex, of say $100, you need to define the upper and lower limit on the chart of the currency pair, say EUR / USD, and decide what you do: buy or sell. Assume that on October 3 you predict that the quotes will rise, and thus you buy EUR 7500 at the price of 1.318, making a deal of 7500*1.318 = USD 9885. This is possible due to the level that allows you to make transactions worth 100 times more than you have at your account. On October 27 the rate rises up to 1.42. You decide to sell EUR 7500, making a deal worth of 7500 * 1.42 = USD 10,650. Your earnings amounted to 10650 - 9885 = USD 765
|The visual information is always easier to understand and to remember, therefore, we suggest that you take at a look at the video course, that we offer for free and learn some skills necessary to trade forex successfully.
|MetaTrader4 is the most popular program for traders around the world to make their deals. All you have to do is to download and install it on your computer so that you can also start working on Forex.
|The more accurate the analysis of the market is, the more profitable deals you can make. We offer you daily forex analysis from the best market experts. Keeping your eye on the news and forecasts, will make you gain hand in forex trading much faster.
To start trading on the forex market one doesn't need a big amount of money, as it may seem at a first glance. Thanks to the level that Roboforex offers, you can enter into transactions amounting to tens or hundreds of times greater than the sum in your account. For example, with the deposit of $ 50 and 1:100 level, you can make a deal amounting to $ 5,000

I'm happy it fits my waist but disappointed by the thin fabric used for the belt. AA's other belts (striped web belt & Unisex Solid Web Belt Leather Buckle) had a thicker fabric and was sturdier. This belt came to me folded so once it was unrolled, it was a bit wrinkly. I have a 36" waist and the first notch on the XL belt fit me well. I would use the second notch just for a looser fit.
