J3002/B Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses are the perfect accessory on the beach, on the way to the office or in the city. There is only one slight drawback: all the envious looks you will attract. The J3002 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Jil Sander collections 2015 and 2016.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. Wearing full rim eyewear, you make it unmistakably clear that you are going the whole hog. The cat-eye shape makes your gaze look tempting and mysterious. The J3002 has an almost titillating effect. Wearing this model, you will definitely attract attention. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The J3002 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. The colour blue is fresh and modern. Having the courage to choose such an exciting colour offers a new approach. Grey lenses are a classic in sunglasses. Their high degree of neutrality with regard to the field of view, makes them particularly suitable for everyday use. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
Even if this Jil Sander is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

|X 50St:-
|Distance: 50 Miles
|X50 FTR:-Off Road
|Distance: 50 Miles
YOU WILL HAVE HAMMER PRODUCTS AND WATER AVAILABLE EVERY 12-15 MILES ON THE ROUTE. AT APPROXIMATELY MILE 35(Bunker Hill road) AND MILE 75 (Kalkaska) ARE MAJOR AID STATIONS THAT INCLUDE, FOOD, WATER, HAMMER, MEDICAL, DROP OUT, TEAM ASSISTANCE AND TEAM TRANSFER STATIONS.
From the initial gravel climb on Muncie Lake Road, you will launch onto the Muncie Lake Trail (MLT). The MLT is a very fast flowing wide-open single track with several climbs and ample opportunity for passing.
Then onto some sweet single track in the world famous VASA trail system with some fast two track mixed lots of single track where you will find hydration stations #1 and #2 and ultimately take you to the Bunker Hill trailhead and to hydration station #3, which is also the first super-aid station, one of the racer drop out points and the first Team transfer station.
Right through the Bunker Hill station onto some fast downhill 2 tracks then back up to more single track and switchbacks that cross over Sand Lakes Road and hydration station #4 then connecting to the Traverse City to Kalkaska section (TC-K) of the North Country Trail.
There is single track, hills, trees, logs stumps, rocks and roots with ample opportunity for passing. Also, two MAJOR road crossings Williamsburg Road and Broomhead Road. Volunteers will be at the crossings but traffic does NOT stop. The TC-K trail will take you through and around the Sand Lakes Quiet Area and Guernsey Lake crossing and hydration station #5 as you make your way toward Kalkaska connecting to the Kalkaska Single Track already a local favorite and is the newest section of single track in Northern Michigan. Here you will find hydration station #6 which is also the second of two Super Aid Stations, the last racer drop out point, and the final team transfer station.
In the stretch, the last leg of the journey is where conditioning pays off. If you can keep a 20MPH pace this fast stretch of dirt county roads, which is wide open in some sections and covered by a canopy of trees in others you only have about an 1-1/2 to go. There will be one last hydration station #7 with approximately 12 miles to go. (Hope you kept a little fuel left in the tank, youre going to need it.)
The race will start and finish at Ranch Rudolf (www.ranchrudolf.com) with the fist 40+ miles following the same route and the X100 to the Guernsey Lake crossing. Here turn South at Guernsey lake and you only 8 miles of dirt country back roads to the Ranch and cold beer.
Out of the ranch and with the exception on a couple brief paved spots it is back roads, country roads and fire lanes. There are plenty of twists, turns, hill climbs, gravel, wash boards and a few descents as you make your way to Kalkaska to to hook up with the final dirt road leg of the X100 route. There will be three hydration stations on the gravel road route approximately 15 miles apart.

Here in the Knucklehead of the Week Department, we're rooting for this Twitter fad to catch on. It's good for business.
Actress Eva Longoria is the latest star to find herself caught in that little bluebird's talons.
Longoria, a celebrity co-chair of President Obama's re-election campaign, was red-faced after she retweeted another Twitterer's tweet that insulted women and minorities who plan to vote for Mitt Romney.
The original tweet: "I have no idea why any woman/minority can vote for Romney. You have to be stupid to vote for such a racist/misogynistic ... " followed by a demeaning anatomical insult. Longoria retweeted the note Wednesday, sending it to her 4.5 million followers. She deleted it, but quickly learned that the internet forgets nothing.
Turns out, many women and minorities plan to vote for Romney, and they weren't happy about Longoria's mass distribution of the tweet they considered offensive.
"I am a woman and support @MittRomney I am stupid? Your comment is disgusting and disrespectful to women. Shame on you," @MelissaAdiva wrote, in a tweet collected by ABC News. By Thursday afternoon, Longoria apologized like a true knucklehead. "Sorry if people were offended by retweet. Obviously not my words or my personal view."

U.S. Domestic Surveillance
Successive U.S. administrations have sought to justify controversial domestic surveillance programs amid criticism from Congress and rights...
Interviewee: Sanford V. Levinson, University of Texas Law School
Interviewer: Greg Bruno, Staff Writer, CFR.org
July 16, 2009
As calls mount among majority Democrats in Congress for a full accounting of Bush-era programs, Levinson cites disappointment with President Barack Obama for resisting calls to investigate. "I don't think you can underestimate the importance of the fact that Obama ran on a platform of greater transparency," Levinson says. "There was a great deal of confidence that he was not only going to replace Bush but also really cast some light on what had happened." Obama has repeatedly expressed reluctance to review controversial Bush administration practices, instead declaring a desire to move on.
Levinson says the needs of the intelligence community have changed dramatically since 2001, and from a legal perspective "there will inevitably be certain modifications of our notions of privacy, [and] the degree of discretion we are willing to give the National Security Agency and other intelligence agencies."

Pet Allergens & Indoor Air Quality Discussed in New Online Video
The IAQ Video Network produces another educational video about allergens, microbial pathogens, toxins and occupational health hazards.
Most estimates put the number of pets in the United States at well over 100 million animals. For many people their pets are an important part of the family, but homes with pets can also result in indoor air quality issues, allergies, and trigger asthma attacks. Even for people without pets, they may still come in contact with other people's pet allergens.
Allergies to pets are quite common and both furry pets and pets with feathers can cause an allergic reaction in some people. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America between 15 and 30% of people who suffer from allergies have allergic reactions to cats and dogs. Many experts state that cat allergies are about twice as common as dog allergies.
"Pet allergies are caused by people with very sensitive immune systems responding to proteins that can be found in pet urine, saliva and pet dander," reported Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network and the new public outreach video. "People can come into contact with pet dander by touching pets and contaminated surfaces and by breathing air laced with pet dander. When susceptible individuals come into contact with the pet dander they may respond in a matter of minutes or the response may be delayed for up to several days. We hope this video helps to educate people about pet allergens and IAQ."

Flying Saucers Over the Art Department!
September 13, 2016 | by Jack Womack
How the book designers of the fifties and sixties tackled alien invasions.
It's impossible to know what sort of cover design will make a book fly off the shelves. Through timidity, this often leads to a certain monotony in covers, especially when they're genre specific—"If it worked before, it'll have to work again, eventually." At times the uniformity is comical: it's hard for book people of a certain age not to remember, say, the gothic romance subgenre without bringing to mind the same cover that was on every one by the end of the sixties—a woman, at night, dashing (often in a white nightgown) from a darkened mansion in sinister woods. Familiarity bred contentment; every reader knew what to expect when they saw the lady running.
Flying saucers as a phrase entered the modern English vocabulary at the end of June 1947, immediately after the initial sightings by Kenneth Arnold in Washington State—which, as it happened, turned out to be the first of thousands of such sightings. The subject was becoming more popular by the week, and publishing houses such as Henry Holt, Fawcett, and Citadel were quick to recognize the need for books on it. But what kind of a cover should go on a book about flying saucers? At the outset, there was no consensus as to what the saucers even actually looked like: they were described as blinking lights, purple blobs, flying wings, boomerangs, shiny metal balls, floating kerosene lamps, pie plates, hubcaps from an old Terraplane; in photos, during the first ten years, the most popular model resembled either the top of a chicken incubator, or part of the casing of a 1937 Electrolux vacuum cleaner.

Criterion at Thirty
October 27, 2015 | by Charlotte Strick
I'd always thought that designing new packaging for a classic film was like designing a jacket for a new edition of a well-known book: both are associated, in the popular imagination, with familiar, even beloved, graphics. If the designer strays too far from the original vision, the potential for public outcry is high. But where a book offers visual freedom—our minds are free to imagine the scenes and the various characters—a movie comes with a profusion of visual material that's not soon forgotten. There's the original theatrical poster, and then, of course, there's the very film itself, and all the iconic images we associate with it. For designers, translating a director's vision is hard enough the first time. How do you do it again?
The Criterion Collection is known for its impeccable taste in classic and contemporary films, and for the artful packaging that puts these films in a much-needed new light. Late last year, I sat down with their head art director of more than a decade, Sarah Habibi, and designer/art director Eric Skillman, who were celebrating the recent publication of a book they'd produced at breakneck speed in time for Criterion's thirtieth anniversary: Criterion Designs, an illumination of their process in imagining some of the collection's most successful projects.

The Font of Poetry, the Poetry of Font
August 3, 2015 | by Adrienne Raphel
Adventures in typography.
I was a teenage font addict. On Microsoft Word I'd lovingly scroll through the drop-down font menu: Avenir Book, Baskerville, Goudy, Goudy Old Style. For every story or poem I started to write, I first spent hours choosing the font. The dystopian soap opera could only be in Geneva; surrealist time travel, Book Antiqua.
In college, my writing was corralled into twelve-point Times New Roman, regardless of how beautiful it might have been in Hoefler Text. I chafed at this restriction, but a true typographical enthusiast finds ways to express her creativity. Font manipulation became a tool to avoid real editing. To make a paper longer, change the spaces to size fourteen; make the punctuation thinner to squeeze more into the page. Read More »
Anatomy of a Cover: The Complete Works of Flannery O'Connor
April 10, 2015 | by J. C. Gabel
At the time of her death, at age thirty-nine, Flannery O'Connor had published only two novels, thirty-one short stories, and a small book's worth of literary criticism and critical essays. "In most English classes," she once wrote, "the short story has become a kind of literary specimen to be dissected." O'Connor, of course, was referring to her readers experiencing the work, not picking it apart in a writers' workshop. That same principle drove Charlotte Strick and June Glasson in their recent redesign of the covers of O'Connor's five books. Strick, the former art director of Farrar, Straus and Giroux and current coprinciple of the design firm Strick&Williams (as well as the art editor of The Paris Review), approached Glasson, an illustrator, about the project in 2013. Four of the five redesigned jackets have been released, with the last coming next month.
Glasson and Strick met through happenstance—a journey that began at a doctor's office. "Years ago," Strick says, "while absentmindedly flipping through a magazine in my doctor's waiting room, I serendipitously stumbled upon a piece about June. I thought her work had a strange, seductive and unique beauty all its own."
In 2012, Strick commissioned Glasson to create illustrations to accompany an essay by author Rich Cohen about French-American pirate Jean Lafitte and 1800s piracy in New Orleans, which appeared in The Paris Review no. 201. This collaboration triggered Strick's art-director instinct, and she returned to Glasson when it came time to reenvision O'Connor's works. "June is capable of imbuing her paintings with a curious maleficence," Strick told me. "She seemed up for the task of tackling O'Connor." Read More »
Shep and Dorothy
November 15, 2014 | by Charlotte Strick
A husband-and-wife team and their influential midcentury designs.
Lucky is the designer who can see in both two and three dimensions. Luckier still is she or he to be married to someone with equal gifts—especially if that mate is a collaborator and not a competitor. So appears to have been the case with Dorothy and Otis Shepard, whose enviable creative lives have been captured in the absorbing, moving, and lushly illustrated new book Dorothy and Otis: Designing the American Dream, by Norman Hathaway and Dan Nadel.
Both Dorothy and Shep (his nickname since childhood) got their start as commercial artists during San Francisco's billboard boom of the 1920s. The Federal Highway Act, signed in 1921, helped fund the expansion of U.S. roadways, and advertisers took the opportunity to reach audiences beyond the traditional black-and-white pages of mail catalogs by posting colorful advertisements along America's highways. Shep, a veteran of World War I, was a man of great adventure, with a strong and lasting interest in the theater. He was well regarded as a commercial painter while employed as an art director at Foster & Kleiser Outdoor Advertising Company, a top Bay Area agency of the period. In 1927, he wisely hired the gifted and highly praised Dorothy Van Gorder straight out of the California School of Arts and Crafts, from which she had graduated in only three years, as valedictorian. According to family lore, Dorothy was unabashedly outspoken (and just plain unabashed—she was once evicted from an apartment for sunbathing nude on the roof), and it cost her the Foster & Kleiser job, but almost as soon as she was let go, she was rehired for her prized skills. Hathaway and Nadel write that either in spite of or because of Dorothy's brashness, Shep, the "raconteur," soon began courting the "young bon vivant."
And so their joint artistic adventure began—most markedly with a honeymoon in 1929 to Paris, Venice, Zurich, and Vienna. While there, they purchased Bauhaus furniture and had the good fortune to meet the great modernist Joseph Binder, who was a leader in the European abstract graphic style. "Shep and Dorothy already wanted their work to convey meaning through compositional structure—instead of realism," write Hathaway and Nadel, but Binder's reduction of "an image to a series of shapes and forms and [integration of] typography into his pictures" helped refine their approach to design and illustration. Both Dorothy and Otis had been following the modernist movement with great interest back home, but seeing this work and the new techniques in person and to scale had a profound and lasting effect on them.

Catch the Bus
May 20, 2014 | by Dan Piepenbring
Krumbach is an Austrian market town with a population of about one thousand—it has a handsome eleventh-century castle and, as of this year, seven of the most arresting bus stops in the world. As part of a new project, BUS:STOP, seven international architects have designed Buswartehüsle—small shelters—"in a dialogue with the people, landscape, and local culture, building upon the traditions of skilled trade in the area."
Sou Fujimoto calls his stop, pictured above, "a transparent forest of columns," and emphasizes its variousness as a public space: "Both bus passengers and non–bus users can use this bus stop as a meeting point," he writes, and though maybe no human alive has ever actively identified as a "non–bus user," his larger point rings true: "Everyone may climb the tower-like bus stop to enjoy panoramic views of Krumbach."
The other contributing architects hail from Belgium, Chile, Russia, Norway, Spain, and China, and given the impressive designs they've brought, it's hard to fault Krumbach's official culture site for a bit of characteristically Teutonic rhetoric: "People from the Bregenzerwald are generally seen as proud of their roots and open to new ideas. This has shaped our region down to the present day: the collaboration between humankind and nature, tradition and modernism, handcraft and the culture of building."
DesignBoom has a gallery of photographs worth viewing in full. One might object to the primacy of form over function here. It's hard to picture someone comfortably waiting at Fujimoto's shelter, for instance, especially if it's raining. But none of these stops are entirely without utility: they are all, however tenuously, places where you go to catch a bus. I've tried in vain to find statistics on public transit in Krumbach—how many of its thousand citizens use the bus system, anyway?—but even if these shelters are seldom used, it's still a pleasure to imagine them out there, flecking the Austrian countryside. Greyhound: take notes.

Revolution controller discussed
A brand new interview between magazine EGM and Nintendo marketing guru Reggie Fils-Aime has revealed a few more details on the tantalisingly illusive controller to be used with the new Revolution console, expected out next year. Fils-Aime revealed that game developers have in fact already seen the controller, which is believed to still be in the prototype stage. "Just because you and your fans haven't seen the controller doesn't mean that no one else has," he teased.
"The thing that I always find surprising, and certainly in the last year I've had wonderful opportunities to spend quality time with a number of our key third-party publishers, is when you sit down and share the innovation with them, just how excited they get," he added.
Fils-Aime continued: "If you just think about it, we're going to have the ability through wireless internet to download all your great games from NES, SNES, N64. Think about it - each of those controllers are different. How are you gonna play? That captured some of the imagination of what our controller needs to be able to do, and certainly as you get into the meat of that type of innovation with the developers, their eyes truly light up because they start to imagine what's possible with that kind of configuration, which is vastly different than a sheer horsepower kind of game."
The American Veepee of Sales and Marketing added that the Revolution will be priced a great deal lower than the Xbox 360 and PS3 at launch, because "all of that added fluff that a gamer, frankly, doesn't [need]" will be omitted from the machine.
More news on the Revolution is expected later this summer, as is pricing for the Xbox 360 - of not the PS3.

Please enter a valid mileage
Based on 859 Ratings for the 2001 - 2007 models.Review this car
By spin24 on Monday, August 6, 2007
overall rating 10 of 10rating details
"I bought a 2007 Highlander to replace my 2003 because this is the last year of that model and I wanted the economical 4 cylinder engine which will not be available on the 2008. The 2003 was reliable, comfortable and problem free for my four years of ownership. The 2007 Highlander is a greater value because of the additional safety features such as side curtain air bags, VSC and traction control and better designed with more storage area under the rear deck because the full sized spare tire was relocated to exterior storage under the rear deck. The suspension of the 2007 appears tighter than the 2003 resulting in an uncomfortable ride where each ripple in the road was felt because the OEM Bridgestone tires rode hard. These tires, manufactured in Japan for Toyota had a 7/32" tread depth and only a 6" tread width. The poor ride was corrected by replacing the OEM Japanese Bridgestone tires with Michelin Cross Terrains which have a tread depth of 10/32" and a 7" wide tread. The 2007 Highlander is a great mid-sized SUV that has been improved in design and safety features over the years and gives a refined, comfortable and secure ride if equipped with Yokohama or Cross Terrain tires."

"I am a Toyota technician for the past 20+ years so I see it all. Lack of maintenance through kids abusing vehicles. This model 2003 Highlander V6 Limited, has almost no recalls and/or issues. I have 225,000 miles on mine and I have kept the maintenance up regularly. It has never left me on the side of the road or given me an ounce of trouble. Only things I have had to replace over time were the B1S1 and B2S1 (A/F oxygen sensors) and the temp control blend door servo. I haven't had to repeatedly replace them either. I would recommend this model to anyone looking for a midsize SUV with decent HP. I will say the allwheel drive models are heavier and you can feel it when driving them."

Check my channel for more tutorials http://adf.ly/610569/rfm767channel ! Ok, another mini game from plants vs zombies that brings headaches for most players. Bobsled Bonanza. The trick here is to equip Spikeweeds, Jalapeños and Cherry bombs. Start building your sun production fast, and as soon as the 1st truck appears either use a spikeweed on that lane or use a jalapeño (jalapeños also melt all the ice that may be covering a lane). Cherry bombs will aso help you deal with group of zombies that come in sledges while you build up your pea-shooter defense. Yoy may chose adifferent deffense style, for instace melon pults or others. But the real key is to bring on the spikeweeds and the jalapeños (i also picked the imitator jalapeño), along with a fast sun production.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) - Al Gore told cheering Florida Democrats Saturday it was time "to speak out boldly" and rejoin the political debate with President Bush and Republicans because much of their agenda "is wrong for America."
The former vice president and 2000 Democratic presidential nominee told the Florida Democratic Convention that both parties can stand together on the war against terrorism, while holding vital political debate on many other issues.
The speech at a state party gathering was Gore's first appearance with other possible candidates for the White House in 2004 since the last election. It also was his most partisan political performance since the campaign against Bush two years ago.
He thanked Florida Democrats for helping pull him virtually even with Bush in the state in the 2000 election, and said they could do the same and defeat Gov. Jeb Bush, the president's younger brother.
"Our work will not be done," he told them. "At that point, one down and one to go."
GOP spokeswoman Mindy Tucker said it "sounds like the same old Al Gore, all negative attacks and no positive proposals." Some Democrats have questioned why Gore did not step forward last year, though he thought the timing was wrong.
"Here in America, patriotism does not mean keeping quiet, it means speaking out," said Gore, who has been gradually re-emerging in the political arena.
He has said he has not decided whether he will run for president in 2004, focusing instead on helping in this fall's congressional races.
"Let there be no doubt when we talk about our differences on these issues, we do stand shoulder to shoulder with the president and with the troops," Gore said.
Gore focused his differences with the Bush administration on spending priorities, the environment and the economy.
"The time has come to speak out boldly, not only when right, but to offer constructive alternatives," Gore said. "A lot of what they're doing is wrong for America."
Concerning the economy, he said the administration is "selling out the future in exchange for satisfying short-term political demands from special interests."

Bryan Stow Beating: Of 20 Witnesses, Only 1 IDs Suspect Louie Sanchez; None Finger Co-Defendant Marvin Norwood
Former baseball manager Yogi Berra uttered the immortal words "deja vu all over again," and, well, you have to wonder if that phrase applies to the prosecution of two men accused in the near-fatal beating of San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow at Dodger Stadium.
Reports from today's proceedings in court, in which 29-year-old Louie Sanchez and 30-year-old Marvin Norwood pleaded not guilty in the opening-day attack, indicate that only one of 20 eyewitnesses to the beating identified Sanchez. None apparently had ID'd Norwwood.
Why deja vu? Well, you remember the case of one Giovanni Ramirez:
He's the purported gang-banger originally fingered in the case, whom cops said was ID by at least some wits.

But, as it turned out, the cholo with the short hair had an alibi, passed lie detector tests, and ultimately, cops said, didn't do it.
After going over the case and reinterviewing witnesses, cops came up with Sanchez and Norwood, with Sanchez's sister implicated as a possible getaway driver in the attack.
But once again authorities are hitting snags in a case in which public and political pressure to find the bad guys has been intense.
Prosecutors say they don't need to stinkin' witnesses: They got the guys confessing to it. But the pair's attorney, Gilbert Quinones, told KNX 1070 Newsradio that he'll challenge any testimony by jailhouse informants.
In fact a bill in the state legislature would limit such testimony anyway. Turns out it can put the wrong people behind bars when informants say whatever is necessary to get out of jail or get their sentences reduced.
Prosecutor Frank Santoro said indicated guilt was also admitted in "formal interviews" with cops and that "identification is no longer an issue."
But the prosecution recently lost a key witness, Stow pal Matthew Lee, who died after eating nuts that triggered a fatal allergic reaction.
Sanchez and Norwood, neighbors in lovely Rialto, are charged with mayhem, assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury and battery with serious bodily injury. They were being held in lieu of half a million bail.

Ali Ndiwalana is Research Lead for Grameen Foundation's AppLab Money Incubator. Below is an excerpt from our AppLab blog, followed by a link to the full post.
Agents are critical for the success of a mobile money (MM) ecosystem; they provide an avenue for cash-in (converting cash into "e-value") and cash-out transactions. Grameen Foundation's AppLab Money team has been to many rural villages in our quest to better understand the needs of users, and have often encountered mobile money users, but no agents in the vicinity. When users told us they made regular transactions, we asked how they managed to do this. In many cases, it was via unofficial agents or "last-mile agents," as we refer to them. So we started looking out for last-mile agents.

Coastal marine habitats are some of the most ecologically and socio-economically important on the planet, and over 50% of the population of the United States lives on a coastline. As a result, human-induced changes are altering the ecosystems of these habitats. A variety of flora and fauna, including sharks, that were previously associated with pristine, undisturbed habitats are now living in increasingly stressful environments. However, a large variety of marine animals are thriving in close proximity to humans, suggesting that they have adapted to new stressors, food sources, and predators.
As these human-induced processes and patterns persist, it is important to understand how the animals' biology and physiology, behavior, and life-history has changed to allow them to survive. Urban areas can serve as laboratories for studying the ecological and evolutionary selection processes that affect threatened species. However, the ramifications of urbanization on the basic life history, health, and connectivity of coastal shark populations remains unknown.
Coastal Florida presents a variety of reef, mangrove, and estuary habitats that provide essential living and breeding grounds for a variety of fish species, and these waters contain high densities of ecologically important marine predators such as sharks. However, Florida has been identified as a global hotspot for "coastal syndromes," areas marked by a series of synergistic stressors such as habitat fragmentation, eutrophication, exploitation of biotic resources, and water run-off. Northern Biscayne Bay has been heavily impacted by the 2.5 million people living around Miami. The port of Miami is ranked as one of the largest ports by volume in the United States and the Biscayne Bay watershed encompasses the city of Miami, the 44nd largest city by population in the United States. Consequently, the ratio of weekend recreational boating traffic within Miami-Dade County is the highest of any county in Florida. As such, northern Biscayne Bay is a highly polluted, degraded and urbanized environment. Accordingly, the overall scientific goal of our current research is to understand how coastal urbanization affects the distribution, movements, and immunological health of coastal sharks in South Florida.
Some of the major objectives of this work include:
- Determine shark distribution, habitat use and residency patterns of sharks across a gradient of habitats from highly altered/developed to relatively pristine.
- Examine shark use of a highly developed and disturbed urban water system in South Florida.
- Assess the immune status and condition of sharks in urbanized versus non urbanized areas
- Evaluate shark diet and nutrition of across a gradient of habitats from highly altered/developed to relatively pristine.
- Assess reproductive status of sharks in urbanized versus pristine areas.
SRC In Focus
This project aims to determine shark distribution, habitat use, and residency patterns of urbanized sharks across a gradient of habitats from highly altered to relatively pristine.
Adopt a Shark
They may not be cute and cuddly, but sharks add beauty and diversity to our planet's oceans. Many populations of sharks are in great decline and need immediate scientific and conservation attention. However, researching these apex predators is neither easy nor cheap. To ensure SRC's tracking studies of sharks continue, please consider adopting a shark!
For this project, an acoustic tag is surgically implanted into the shark's abdomen, and it collects data about the shark's localized movement patterns when it is within range of a receiver. Receivers in our array are located across Biscayne Bay and even up into the Miami river! While acoustic tags do not communicate with satellites or provide near real-time tracking like the tags used in our other shark movement project, a short report on your shark's whereabouts can be provided to you on an annual basis, when we retrieve the receivers and download the data.
Individuals, corporate groups, classes and entire schools are welcome to collectively adopt sharks. What a way to enrich your educational experience!
Animals living in urban landscape face different threats and stressors than those who inhabit a pristine and clean environment. Along Florida's coastline – which has been identified as a hotspot for "coastal syndromes" globally – habitat fragmentation, eutrophication, species loss, and water run-off has been identified. Research has documented decreases in fish abundance and diversity in these degraded habitats. However, information regarding top predators, particularly sharks, is lacking.This is of significant conservation concern, as sharks are both ecologically important and vulnerable to exploitation. Despite the significant diversity of shark species and life-history stages in Florida, the ramifications of urbanization on shark behavior and health remains unknown. There is a need to better understand how urbanization can be managed to conserve natural marine resources, while maintaining socioeconomic growth. To our knowledge, there have not been other studies explicitly examining how coastal urbanization has affected the behavior and health of sharks. Policymakers need this data to make informed decisions and implement effective conservation strategies and to understand and predict how development of coastal areas can impact their ecology.

Keep in mind that fifth-grade friendships are difficult for all girls. As they become more independent and begin to experience the hormonal changes that come with puberty, their friendships can change from day to day.
Try to find assistance for your daughter with her writing skills and her studying. Check into tutors in your area or ask around your neighborhood to see if there might be a high-school student who could work with her. The extra boost of confidence that can come from feeling good about her school work can carry over to other parts of your daughter's life as well.
Talk also with the school counselor. He or she may be able to give your daughter some individual time or include her in a small group on friendship, social skills, or study skills.

Good luck Raand. It looks like you have chosen a path so give it a whirl and see how it turns out. I just wanted to add in my thoughts to echo what someone else said above. It sounds to me that you are looking for something simple and easy to deliver small games potentially to a mobility audience. If that is the case I urge you to look at Unity. Amazing engine, simple scripting and great and powerful UI. It's cross platform with it's own compiler and allows you to do C++ right in the engine.
Just a thought. Take a look at it but either way good luck to you.

MA just passed a law making it illegal to ask your current or past salary before they have made you a job offer!
I have to admit, I did not see that one coming.
MA just passed a law making it illegal to ask your current or past salary before they have made you a job offer!
I have to admit, I did not see that one coming.
Are you trying to be successful doing the work that successful people throw out? What successful people refuse to do? Then hard work won't help you.
This true story is about more than salespeople. It is about accountants, programmers and managers too.
Paul, beginning his job in sales, told me, "My manager seems to be able to make a sale every time we go on a call together. All the people we visit want to buy. He sells as much as everyone else in the office put together. When I take the leads he gives me, I can't get them interested at all. What am I doing wrong?"
Paul was doing nothing wrong. His manager was visiting only high quality leads. Paul was visiting everyone that his manager didn't pick for himself. His manager got the golden leads and Paul got the brass. Worse, Paul refused to look for the best quality leads in what he was given. He just went out and visited everyone.
Successful salespeople, accountants, programmers, managers, secretaries and septic tank cleaners all know what sales leads, jobs, duties and knowledge are most important.
Pick out the most successful person you know who is doing the job you want. Invite him out to lunch. Ask him, "What do you do that is different from less successful people?" Take notes. Don't let him stop with one quick answer. Ask about what he reads, what he does, and the jobs he refuses to do.
If you really pry, you will find out that he no longer does a lot of things he used to do. Ask him, "What have you stopped doing because you no longer have the time to do it?" You'll find that successful people really do work differently. They are picky. They find ways to get drudge work assigned to others. They study particularly difficult problems so that they are assigned the most interesting projects. They also invite themselves into meetings where thorny issues are discussed. They go prepared with fresh information. That's how they get reputations as problem solvers.
If you want to become a guru, act like one. Do what the gurus do. Just as important, find a way to get out of the work that successful people throw away.
Something To Do Today
Make that call to a successful person doing the job you want next. Find out what they attribute their success to. Also find out what they no longer are doing.
6 places to check on a company's reputation
I was told, "I want to work in a Fortune 100 company. That's where the action is at. Then I will really be going places." It could be true. Just remember, Enron was in the Fortune 100 club too, before their leadership was indicted.
Size isn't everything. It seems that in every Fortune 100 company there will be whole divisions laid off or sold every year. The CEO may call it pruning. The people in the division have more explicit names for it.
For you, the job seeker, company reputation is important. It will make a difference in how other people view your career. The reputation of the local division is even more important. Your success will be tied directly to the local division's performance. The reputation of your new manager is critical. He's the one that will make your job paradise or purgatory.
Places to look and people to ask
Your search for their reputation can help you find other job openings too. As you expand your circle of inquiry, more people find out that you are available. Don't forget to ask everyone who else you ought to talk to. You may be surprised how important the comment of the friend of a friend can be.
Make it a habit to do your "due diligence" as you start interviewing for a job. Find out their reputation. Contact people about the company. It will help you select the right company with the right boss. Your inquiries may also lead you to a different, better job.
Something To Do Today
Find out if there are any associations for your job or the job you are working towards. Online search engines work well. Reference librarians are especially good at finding them. Go to your local library and ask for help.
Tomorrow: The work successful people throw out.
Later: Lose 10 pounds in one week is not job hunting
Why don't companies say "Yes" or "No"? What can I do about it?
Most of your frustration in a job search comes down to 3 situations at the company you are applying for.
First the receptionist is told:
"Jill, there are 250 resumes in my in-box. Please go through them and give me the 10 best resumes. Throw the rest away."
Maybe the hiring manager was told:
"We've got to redo our budgets. Put everything on hold."
Or, the recruiter is told:
"We have a candidate we like better, but we want you to keep Jim warm, okay? We might end up hiring Jim if this other guy doesn't work out. Don't tell Jim anything."
Those are the three scenarios that account for most of the frustration in a job search. In either case you will get no useful reply to your job inquiries. In the first case, you will never get a reply. In the last two cases they may be forbidden to give you a reply.
You still should call and ask for information about your application. Many times your call will cause them to pick up your resume one more time and take another look. One unusual
company I know of rarely hires someone unless they have called 3 or more times. I only know of one company that does that as policy. I know a lot of companies that need their memory to be jogged.
If a company is hoping to hire you, that's good. It may be frustrating to wait for a month while they make up their minds, but so what? If another job comes along, take it. Anytime you go two weeks without an interview or an offer, assume the job is on hold while they look at other candidates. Call regularly, look for another job, but leave yourself available in case something good happens. What can it hurt to be patient?
Deal with reality. At the job you apply for, and get no response whatsoever, they are trying to work quickly. If it takes one minute apiece to answer each of 250 job inquiries, that is over 4 hours of drudge work. That's why most companies don't reply anymore. The time it takes is too great. Many times you won't get an answer. That's reality. If you follow up with a call, you have a little better chance of something happening. That's also reality.
Don't get mad, deal with reality. No one wants to insult you. It is best not to be offended. Just accept the fact that unless you are hired, your job application will end up in limbo, not in a straightforward "Yes!" or "No." Deal with it. Follow up, but also keep your job search active.
Something To Do Today
Call the companies that have not given you a final response every week or two. Jog their memories. Don't get mad, just let them know you are still interested.
Tomorrow: The company's reputation
Later: Lose 10 pounds in 3 days–is not job hunting
Who is asking you, "Where else are you interviewing?" That should change your answer.
During a police interrogation you answer questions differently than you do when you are talking to your spouse. For example, "Where have you been?" can be more dangerous coming from one of those two sources.
There are two correct responses to the question, "Where else are you interviewing?" If you are talking to a hiring manager or HR person, tell them. Let them know what is going on. Give them details if they ask. It will most likely increase your desirability if they know others are talking to you.
If you are talking to a recruiter at an agency, you need to decide if you trust the recruiter. Ask the recruiter, "Why do you want to know?" After the recruiter acts defensive or offended, ask your real question, "Do you ever submit resumes to jobs you find out about from candidates?"
The recruiter should answer, "I will only submit a resume to a job you mention if I am already working on it, or if you tell me you are out of contention there. I will never reduce your chances of getting a job by submitting competition unless I was already working on the job."
Do you trust the recruiter? If so, give him the details of your interviews. He can help you much better in your job search if he knows everything. All the recruiting trainers and over half the recruiters will play fair with you. They will not ruin your chances where you are already interviewing. If you have serious doubts about the recruiter, tell them you are interviewing, but not precisely where.
Basically, if someone will hurt you with the information, protect yourself. If the information works to your advantage, tell them.
Something To Do Today
Evaluate every recruiter you work with. Which ones do you trust? Which ones are questionable? Why? Trust your instincts.
I am going on vacation the week of the 4th of July. I'll be at a family reunion in Gila, NM and totally unavailable.
Later: Why don't they give you an answer, Yes or No?
The company's reputation
"Will you do whatever it takes to get the job done?" is a common interview question.
In "The Firm" a new lawyer finds the perfect job: great pay, wonderful benefits and a really high flying lifestyle. Then he finds out he is a part of the mafia and can't get out unless he is the guest of honor at his own funeral.
Let's get realistic. Even in high flying corporate scandals no one is murdered. If you feel you have to blow the whistle you can go to newspaper reporters and the police. You will be safe physically. Your only real worries are social and financial. The company's risk is to its very existence. It can be destroyed just by bad press. Also, legal action can take away any profit the company has had for years.
There is no reason to suspect that your employer wants you to do something illegal. It is much more likely he wants you to work late.
Go ahead and be enthusiastic when they ask the question, "Will you do whatever it takes?" The proper answer is to give examples of how you have gone the extra mile in previous jobs. Tell when you worked late to finish projects or help a teammate. Carrying a pager is a great example of doing "whatever it takes." Mention the inconvenient business trips. The support you had from your family when you had to work late or travel is a valuable story.
I hate to go back to it, but, don't mention when you did something borderline illegal. Don't assume they want you to do something immoral. If they ask you to do something that is wrong, ask them to clarify. Ask for examples. If you are sure they are asking you to do something illegal, immoral, or fattening, refuse the second interview or the job offer. You can even bring it up with the CEO or the SEC.
Some people have been burned by a previous bad employer. You may have been hired by a place with dubious morals. You are out now, or in the process of getting out. Assume the best of the companies you are visiting. Give examples of how hard you are willing to work to succeed. Focus on what you can do for the company.
Something To Do Today
Assume the best. Ask for examples.
Tomorrow: Where else are you interviewing?
Later: Why don't they give you an answer, Yes or No?
The company's reputation
Do you hate to be asked about money in an interview? Are you afraid it will go something like this:
"I really like your background. I think you would do well. How much less than $55,000 will you take as a base salary?"
You probably won't be asked that particular question. It is brutally bad. But it does happen.
Employers hate to ask any money question. It isn't polite. But, you and the employer need to be in the same salary ballpark. Wouldn't you feel upset if after 3 interviews over a period of a month you were offered a salary of half of what you are willing to take?
What makes the money question worse is that you cannot give a solid answer and win. If you give a number too high, they may refuse to continue the interviews. If you give a number too low, they'll pay that low number and not a higher one you could have gotten.
There is only one way to answer the question.
Here's an example:
"How much do we have to pay you?"
"(Compliment) I like this company. The opportunity is just what I am looking forward to. The team is a real winner too.
(My now) I currently earn a $63,000 base plus a bonus of $2500 last year. I certainly wouldn't want to earn less.
(Best offer) What I would like is to be able to entertain your best offer."
This answer gives them information to work with. It is not a refusal. The heartfelt compliments at the start make them feel good. You tell them what your baseline for comparison is. Finally you give them a chance to be generous.
Can I bring up money?
Don't bring up money in any interview, ever, unless you get a feeling they are going to be way too low. Even then, use the 3 step formula. You can discuss your expectations with an outside recruiter/headhunter any time, but not with the company's internal HR recruiter or a company interviewer until they bring it up.
If you have questions about benefits, vacations, the 401K program, relocation payments, or other benefits you can ask the internal HR recruiter when you are interviewing face-to-face with HR. You can ask the external recruiter/headhunter any time.
So, what do I do?
Wait for them to mention money, then 1. Compliment them, 2. Tell them your "now", 3. Ask for their best offer.
Something To Do Today
Most people cannot clearly state what they earn. I don't know why. Before you go on an interview write down the clearest, shortest way you can state your current earnings. Then practice answering "the money question".
Next: Why are you leaving your job?
Later: Will you do anything we ask?
Where else are you interviewing?
Why don't they give you an answer, Yes or No?
In an interview you are asked, "What are your weaknesses?"
You reply, "I really don't have any weaknesses."
Wrong answer. Every religion I know of says that you have weaknesses. Don't fight it. Come up with one.
"My biggest weakness is my cheerfulness and high character."
That just made everyone who heard it sick.
"I like to humiliate people with sexually explicit jokes."
That weakness will get you escorted out of the building by security.
"As a project manager I have a tendency to give people too much freedom. When they tell me they are just a little behind schedule, my tendency is to believe them even when I know deep in my heart they are in trouble. I have to constantly remember to dig into problems my people are having and make sure they get help early. That way we can hit all of our deadlines. I've gotten very good at it."
That one is true. It is my personal weakness. It is the virtue of not micromanaging, that I take too far. Did you notice that I mentioned what I have learned to do to overcome that weakness?
When you are asked, "What are your weaknesses?", be honest. What is a strength that you take too far? That's a good place to start. The most important part of your answer is to show that you have learned how to cope with your weakness. What do you do to make sure that the weakness DOES NOT CONTINUE to be a problem?
Don't be syrupy and sweet. Don't deny that you have problems. Honestly evaluate your performance. Take a strength that you over-exercise. Explain it. Explain what you do to keep it under control. When they know you have figured out how to compensate, they will accept it as self-realization instead of weakness.
Something To Do Today
Make a list of virtues you take too far. Add to that list what you do to compensate.
Take your strongest weakness into your next interview, along with its solution.
Tomorrow: What do we have to pay you?
Later: Why are you leaving your job?
Will you do anything we ask?
Where else are you interviewing?
Should you tell them where else?
Why don't they give you an answer, Yes or No?
An interviewer said, "Tell me what your biggest weakness is." The candidate gave one example. There was a pause. The interviewer looked puzzled. Uncomfortable, the candidate gave another weakness. The surprised interviewer sat for 10 seconds after that admission trying to gather his thoughts. The candidate gave another weakness. In all, the candidate gave six weaknesses. The interview was over a few minutes later. The candidate was not hired.
When you finish answering a question and the interviewer looks at you without saying anything, what do you do? Do you start talking again? No! Stop! Shut up! You need to learn to outwait your interviewer. If he wants more, let him ask. If he raises an eyebrow as if to say, "Is that all?", then you should look puzzled or confident and wait for him to talk.
Most interviewers do not consciously use silence as a weapon. They will be happier if you let the silence stretch. They are gathering their thoughts. Don't interrupt them. Let them have the time they need to feel comfortable.
Interviewers who purposely use silence will be impressed if you have the guts to let a silent break stretch to 30 seconds while looking them in the eye, occasionally glancing down to their hands. To them it is a sign of self worth and assurance.
A big turn-off for many managers is someone who just can't stop talking. Make use of the old saying, "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
Something To Do Today
Practice talking and then being quiet. Watch how the person you are addressing gets nervous. Just for today, don't let them off the hook. Be the strong silent type today.
Tomorrow: What are your weaknesses?
Later: What do we have to pay you?
Why are you leaving your job?
Will you do anything we ask?
Where else are you interviewing?
Should you tell them where else?
Why don't they give you an answer, Yes or No?
Thumb screws and the iron maiden are no longer considered proper interview tools. Nasty traps are rarely set for candidates. The most common snare is a reasonable question or a pause that becomes the killing moment in an interview. We'll talk about pauses another day.
Reasonable questions that are dangerous include:
When you get a dangerous question you should answer it accurately. That doesn't mean you need to go into a lot of detail. Over the next few day we'll touch on each one of these questions. For now, remember to be brief.
Any one of these questions can bring out old job wounds. Job wounds are things that happened at a previous job that you are afraid will happen again. Get over them. This is a new company. Don't yell, whine or complain about the past. If you have to mention something that is ugly, state the fact in one short sentence and stop. Don't explain. Don't fill in the details. Let your interviewer assume what he wants. You will find that their imagination is often more generous to you if you are extremely brief and only mention facts.
The secret to avoiding interview traps is to prepare an answer in advance. Use that answer and avoid going into areas that are painful for you. Brevity is a key.
Something To Do Today
Write down a one sentence answer to each of the questions above. Next week compare those answers to the guidelines for each question.
Next: Pregnant pauses
Later: What are your weaknesses?
What do we have to pay you?
Why are you leaving your job?
Will you do anything we ask?
Where else are you interviewing?

Retirees: still doing good work
Few encounter Bainbridge nonprofit organizations without meeting the retired volunteers who contribute time and money to many of these organizations.
And as more families need both parents in the workforce and have less time to give, retirees take up the slack.
It is harder to recruit volunteers with so many households with two working parents, Joanne Tews, executive director of Helpline House said. If we didnt have our retired volunteers, we would have to reduce some services, and maybe even curtail others.
Tews says retired volunteers make up more than half her volunteer cadre, with the front desk almost completely manned by retirees.
Helpline, the Bainbridge public library, Interfaith Volunteer Caregivers, Bloedel Reserve, Bainbridge Island Garden Club, Bainbridge Arts and Crafts, the senior center and Bainbridge Arts and Crafts are examples of island groups whose volunteers are often retired.
There are other groups which attract fewer retirees.
Some nonprofit directors point to a correlation between volunteer age and the age group served.
The Alive shelter for battered women is a magnet for younger women volunteers who have themselves escaped abusive relationships, director Barbara Mills says, while coordinator Shannon Buxton notes that the Bainbridge Teen Center also attracts younger volunteers.
An exception is one of Bainbridge Youth Services star volunteers, 86-year-old Hattie Pasquale.
The retired volunteers have a lot of time and patience, BYS director Connie Mueller said. They bring a lot of wisdom theyve done it all, seen it all.
A childrens librarian, Pasquale did postgraduate work at a time when women didnt; lived in Hawaii for 27 years; taught at a school for the blind; and, as a Red Cross volunteer during World War II, drove a mobile club truck in effect a lounge on wheels throughout Europe.
At Bainbridge Youth Services I like the contact with young people, Pasquale said. It kind of enlivens you. If you keep up with young people, you stay young at least at heart.
Mueller says Pasquale answers phones and helps match kids to jobs.
She is really aggressive, Mueller said, and very thorough.
While most retirees are older adults like Pasquale, not all are.
Tews notes that some of her retired volunteers are in their fifties or forties.
One such volunteer, Jay Rosenberg retired, at 42, from a San Diego bio-tech firm, where he helped pioneer a new drug for the treatment of lymphoma.
Rosenberg and his family moved to Bainbridge last November.
Before completing the move, however, Rosenberg had contacted Fletcher to volunteer at the wildlife shelter.
Looking back, he said,I probably should have gone to veterinary school except that I dont like to see animals suffer.
While Rosenberg says it also can be depressing to lose animals, there are up experiences, too, like exercising the red-tail hawk with an injured toe.
The birds injury necessitated amputation of the toe, so she was around for quite a while, Rosenberg said. The form of exercise is called creance, and its a falconry term.
The bird is attached to your arm by long, leather straps.
Rosenberg says that volunteering has been a way to meet people in his new community.
I had heard it said that its difficult to make friends in the Pacific Northwest, Rosenberg said, but I have not found that to be true.
Island Wildlife Shelter, adjacent to Bloedel Reserve, has about 20 volunteers like Rosenberg, administrator Sandra Fletcher says, who help with the shelters lifesaving efforts.
Our most reliable volunteers are retired, said Fletcher unequivocally. They often take the best care of the animals.
Reliable help
Other coordinators say that their retired volunteers tend to be stable workers.
Cindy Harrison praises the librarys corps for their reliability, super attitude, enthusiasm, skill and experience, sense of humor, ability to be team players the characteristics you would look for in an excellent employee.
Retirees serve as the librarys current board treasurer and secretary, as well as the head of the fund-raising committee, Harrison says.
Retired volunteers help with grounds maintenance, book sales, producing and distributing the librarys newsletter, keeping bookshelves in order, assisting people with internet searches and even helping library patrons prepare tax forms.
Our organization is so dependent upon senior volunteers, Harrison said, I cant imagine how we could serve the public without them.
Kate Gormley, program director and volunteer coordinator for Bloedel reserve is also quick to point out the strengths of her 95 percent-retired volunteer corps.
With that high percentage, wed be hard put to get along without them, Gormely said. Its not just because of their numbers, though, but because of the work and life experience, wisdom and graciousness that older people bring to the job.
Retired volunteers may face age-related challenges.
Really, the challenges are only the physical ones we all face tougher to reach the top and bottom shelves, eyes not as reliable as they once were but they still find a way to contribute, Harrison said.
Gormley and others note that their biggest challenge in working with retired volunteers is their busy schedules.
Most of them volunteer for several organizations, have very active social lives and are inveterate travelers, Gormley said. Of course, personal and family illnesses take a toll occasionally, as well.
Thats one reason Bainbridge Arts and Crafts volunteer coordinator Wendy Reid likes to keep a large pool of volunteers.
A lot of us are in the sandwich position of having obligations still to an older generation and a younger, Reid said.
So if a life cycle event should intervene in someones volunteer schedule, its good to have a large pool to draw from to fill the gap.
Mary Braden, president of Island Theater, notes that while her retired volunteers may be as busy as any full-time worker, their hours are more flexible.
Bill Edmonds, who moved to Bainbridge in 1991 after 42 years as an educator and publisher in Turkey and has since volunteered for more than a dozen island organizations, says that one challenge for volunteers can be discerning when to make way for new blood.
You need to know when to bow out gracefully from a volunteer position, Edmonds said. Dont hang on just because you think youre making a contribution.
Volunteer coordinators and directors note that the retired volunteer often prefers to help in areas unrelated to a former career.
Speaking personally, after a long (continuing) career in public relations/marketing/volunteer management, I am most happy pounding nails for Habitat for Humanity, Gormley said.
While a few note a decline in volunteerism, most believe that Bainbridge has more than its share of volunteers.
I came to Bainbridge from a place that was 95 percent subdivisions, Goldberg said. The difference here is, people care.
You might look at it negatively, that they argue too much about things like the roundabout, but they care about their environment and they contribute, whether they are young or old.
