Atlantic cod
The Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) is a well-known demersal food fish belonging to the family Gadidae. It is also commercially known as cod, codling or haberdine.[2]
In the western Atlantic Ocean, cod has a distribution north of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and around both coasts of Greenland; in the eastern Atlantic, it is found from the Bay of Biscay north to the Arctic Ocean, including the Baltic Sea, the North Sea, Sea of the Hebrides,[3] areas around Iceland and the Barents Sea.
It can grow to 2 meters in length and weigh up to 96 kilograms (210 lb). It can live for 25 years and sexual maturity is generally attained between ages two and four,[4] but can be as late as eight years in the northeast Arctic.[5] Colouring is brown to green, with spots on the dorsal side, shading to silver ventrally. A lateral line is clearly visible. Its habitat ranges from the shoreline down to the continental shelf.
Several cod stocks collapsed in the 1990s (declined by >95% of maximum historical biomass) and have failed to recover even with the cessation of fishing.[6] This absence of the apex predator has led to a trophic cascade in many areas.[6] Many other cod stocks remain at risk. The "Atlantic cod" is labelled VU (vulnerable) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[7]
Adult cod form spawning aggregations from late winter to spring.[8][9] Females release their eggs in batches,[10] and males compete to fertilize them.[11][12][13] Fertilized eggs drift with ocean currents and develop into larvae. Age of maturation varies between cod stocks, from ages two to four in the west Atlantic,[14] but as late as eight years in the northeast Arctic.[5] Cod can live for 13 years or more.[15]
Atlantic cod act as intermediate, paratenic or definitive hosts to a large number of parasite species: 107 taxa listed by Hemmingsen and MacKenzie (2001)[16] and seven new records by Perdiguero-Alonso et al. (2008).[16] The predominant groups of cod parasites in the northeast Atlantic were trematodes (19 species) and nematodes (13 species), including larval anisakids, which comprised 58.2% of the total number of individuals.[16] Parasites of Atlantic cod include copepods, digeneans, monogeneans, acanthocephalans, cestodes, nematodes, myxozoans and protozoans:[16]
Northwest Atlantic cod
The northwest Atlantic cod has been regarded as heavily overfished throughout its range, resulting in a crash in the fishery in the United States and Canada during the early 1990s.
Newfoundland's northern cod fishery can be traced back to the 16th century. On average, about 300,000 tonnes of cod were landed annually until the 1960s, when advances in technology enabled factory trawlers to take larger catches. By 1968, landings for the fish peaked at 800,000 tonnes before a gradual decline set in. With the reopening of the limited cod fisheries in 2006, nearly 2,700 tonnes of cod were hauled in. In 2007, offshore cod stocks were estimated at one per cent of what they were in 1977.[18]
Technologies that contributed to the collapse of Atlantic cod include engine-powered vessels and frozen food compartments aboard ships. Engine-powered vessels had larger nets, larger engines, and better navigation. The capacity to catch fish became limitless. In addition, sonar technology gave an edge to catching and detecting fish. Sonar was originally developed during WWII to locate enemy submarines, but was later applied to locating schools of fish. These new technologies, as well as bottom trawlers that destroyed entire ecosystems, contributed to the collapse of Atlantic cod. They were vastly different from old techniques used, such as hand lines and long lines.[19]
The fishery has yet to recover, and may not recover at all because of a possibly stable change in the food chain. Atlantic cod was a top-tier predator, along with haddock, flounder and hake, feeding upon smaller prey, such as herring, capelin, shrimp and snow crab.[6] With the large predatory fish removed, their prey have had population explosions and have become the top predators, affecting the survival rates of cod eggs and fry.
In the winter of 2011-2012, the cod fishery succeeded in convincing NOAA to postpone for one year the planned 82% reduction in catch limits. Instead the limit will be reduced by 22%. The fishery brought in $15.8 million in 2010, coming second behind Georges Bank haddock among the region's 20 regulated bottom-dwelling groundfish. Data released in 2011 indicated that even closing the fishery would not allow populations to rebound by 2014 to levels required under federal law. Restrictions on cod effectively limit fishing on other groundfish species with which the cod swim, such as flounder and haddock.[20]
Cod populations or stocks can differ significantly both in appearance and biology. For instance, the cod stocks of the Baltic Sea are adapted to low-salinity water. Organisations such as the Northwest Atlantic Fishery Organization (NAFO) and ICES divide the cod into management units or stocks; however, these units are not always biologically distinguishable stocks. Some major stocks/management units on the Canadian/US shelf (see map of NAFO areas) are the Southern Labrador-Eastern Newfoundland stock (NAFO divisions 2J3KL), the Northern Gulf of St. Lawrence stock (NAFO divisions 3Pn4RS), the Northern Scotian Shelf stock (NAFO divisions 4VsW), which all lie in Canadian waters, and the Georges Bank and Gulf of Maine stocks in United States waters. In the European Atlantic, the numerous separate stocks are on the shelves of Iceland, the coast of Norway, the Barents Sea, the Faroe Islands, off western Scotland, the North Sea, the Irish Sea, the Celtic Sea and in the Baltic Sea.
Northeast Atlantic cod
The northeast Atlantic has the world's largest population of cod. By far, the largest part of this population is the northeast Arctic cod, as it is labelled by the ICES, or the Arcto-Norwegian cod stock, also referred to as skrei, a Norwegian name meaning something like "the wanderer", distinguishing it from coastal cod. The northeast Arctic cod is found in the Barents Sea area. This stock spawns in March and April along the Norwegian coast, about 40% around the Lofoten archipelago. Newly hatched larvae drift northwards with the coastal current while feeding on larval copepods. By summer, the young cod reach the Barents Sea where they stay for the rest of their life, until their spawning migration. As the cod grow, they feed on krill and other small crustaceans and fish. Adult cod primarily feed on fish such as capelin and herring. The northeast Arctic cod also shows cannibalistic behaviour. Estimated stock size was 2.26 million tonnes in 2008.
The North Sea cod stock is primarily fished by European Union member states and Norway. In 1999, the catch was divided among Denmark (31%), Scotland (25%), the rest of the United Kingdom (12%), the Netherlands (10%), Belgium, Germany and Norway (17%). In the 1970s, the annual catch rose to between 200,000 and 300,000 tons. Due to concerns about overfishing, catch quotas were repeatedly reduced in the 1980s and 1990s. In 2003, ICES stated there is a high risk of stock collapse if then current exploitation levels continued, and recommended a moratorium on catching Atlantic cod in the North Sea during 2004. However, agriculture and fisheries ministers from the Council of the European Union endorsed the EU/Norway Agreement and set the total allowable catch (TAC) at 27,300 tons. Seafood sustainability guides, such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch, often recommend environmentally conscious customers not purchase Atlantic cod.
The stock of northeast Arctic cod was more than a million tons following World War II, but declined to a historic minimum of 118,000 tons in 1987. The catch reached a historic maximum of 1,343,000 tons in 1956, and bottomed out at 212,000 tons in 1990. Since 2000, the spawning stock has increased quite quickly, helped by low fishing pressure. However, there are worries about a decreased age at first spawning (often an early sign of stock collapse), combined with the level of discards and unreported catches. The total catch in 2003 was 521,949 tons, the major fishers being Norway (191,976 tons) and Russia (182,160 tons).

Posted on 12/18/2012 6:49:57 PM PST by lbryce
WASHINGTON An independent inquiry into the attack on the United States diplomatic mission in Libya that killed four Americans on Sept. 11 sharply criticizes the State Department for a lack of seasoned security personnel and relying on untested local militias to safeguard the compound, Congressional and State Department officials said Tuesday night.
The investigation into the attacks on the diplomatic mission and C.I.A. annex that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others also faulted State Department officials in Washington for ignoring requests from officials at the American Embassy in Tripoli for more guards and safety upgrades to the diplomatic mission.
The panel also blamed the State Department for waiting for specific warnings of imminent attacks to act rather than adapting security procedures and protocols to a deteriorating security environment. By this spring, Benghazi, a hotbed of militant activity in eastern Libya, had experienced a string of assassinations and attacks, including one on a British envoys motorcade.
Finally, the report also blamed two major State Department bureaus diplomatic security and Near Eastern affairs for failing to coordinate and plan adequate security at the mission. The panel also determined that a number of officials had shown poor leadership.
In response to the panels findings, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a letter to Congress that she was accepting all 29 of the panels recommendations, several of which are classified.
Mrs. Clinton is taking specific steps to correct the problems, according to officials. They say the State Department is asking permission from Congress to transfer $1.3 billion from funds that had been allocated for spending in Iraq. This includes $553 million for additional Marine security guards; $130 million for diplomatic security personnel; and $691 million for improving security at installations abroad.

Hillary:By 2016 there will be so many scandal to have been forgotten this one will be buried never recalled. My election is assured now that I got finally Zero out of the way.
I hope this doesn't cause Hillary to have a concussion. /s-(or is it?)
Hillary is not capable of running the State Dept, that should make mincemeat of her 2016 ambitions.
How much did Obama have to pay for that "hospital admission"....Hillary skates, and the U.S. gets Kerry. Well, the electorate's morons put Obama back in the O.O. again — things could not be any worse.
No problem though — we have Boner looking out for us in the House of Reps....what a joke. A very sick joke.
Compel Hillary to testify in open sworn testimony !
We need to learn who gave the order to : " Stand Down "
That Treachery needs to be rewarded !!
**WHO in the hell gave the damn order to NOT rescue our men in Benghazi?**
"Hillary is not capable of running the State Dept, that should make mincemeat of her 2016 ambitions."
Sadly it will not...see the reason why below!
Obama is not capable of being president again because of the horrible economy, that should make mincemeat of his 2012 White House ambitions.
So there were all kinds of failures, but no one is responsible? Yep.....
Wasn't anyone or anything close enough to effect a rescue.
But it confirmed that contrary to initial accounts, there was no protest outside the consulate .....
In the immediate aftermath of the attack, administration officials linked the attack to the spreading protests over an American-made, anti-Islamic film that had begun in Cairo earlier that day. Those comments came AFTER evidence already pointed to a distinct militant attack.
4 years of 0bama running the whitehouse didn't stop the "low information" voters and gimmecrats from re-electing HIM, either. Shortest memories on the planet...except of course, when it comes to George Bush. God help us.
...for a lack of seasoned security personnel and relying on untested local militias to safeguard the compound......and somehow or other, the dead ambassador was probably to blame for running guns to Mexican drug cartels, so, damage control.
This is bull.
Benghazi Massacre File.
Touche. Sigh.
I certainly don't buy the assertion that there were no military assets that could have made a difference. Certainly, some fighter aircraft could have been sent from Italy. No doubt there were political considerations at play about violating Libyan airspace and the possibility of collateral damage.
I am seething after reading this. And 0bama nd Hillary dancing at the microphones in front of those four caskets, KNOWING FULL WELL THAT THE FAILURE WAS THEIRS, not some stupid freaking video.
And yet, an apathetic and idiotic American majority re-elected these proven liars. I am just SICK.
Didn't the State Department once have the a propo title "Foggy Bottom"?
If any can answer the following, please do do -thanks.
How many inquiries are going on? Who exactly formed and is sitting on this panel? It sounds more like a rubber stamp cover up than a fact finding inquiry.
It seems to find fault with the way the incident went down HOWEVER does not question why there was an incident -what were they doing in Benghazi?
Security in Benghazi was not recognized and implemented as a shared responsibility by the bureaus in Washington charged with supporting the post, resulting in stove-piped discussions and decisions on policy and security. That said, Embassy Tripoli did not demonstrate strong and sustained advocacy with Washington for increased security for Special Mission Benghazi. (Bold added.)
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
Attending Thursdays hearing instead will be Deputy Secretary of State William Burns and Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Thomas Nides.
Hillary was not qualified for Sec. of State. She's a walking ambition machine, nothing more. Shame on all who promote her. She female and studied with evil Alinsky. That disqualifies her from federal jobs, in my opinion.
Independent Panel determines: "Dog ate my homework" in Benghazi, and "please excuse Johnny from school today he is not feeling well", so there is nothing to see here folks , move along now
Independent Panel determines: "Dog ate my homework" in Benghazi, and "please excuse Johnny from school today he is not feeling well", so there is nothing to see here folks , move along now
well that may be a good thing , because anything that flew over would have been shot down by the 400 tons of surface air missles and RPGs being transferred by Stevens a few weeks earlier
It gets interesting in the last three paragraphs.
"Mr. Stevens was making his first visit to Benghazi in 10 months. But his plans for taking only two American security agents were not shared thoroughly with the embassys country team, who were not fully aware of the planned movements off the compound, the report determined.
"Officials said the review did not address the limitation in the capabilities of the American military command responsible for a large swath of countries swept up in the Arab Spring.
"On the night of the attack, the Pentagon was able to divert an unarmed Predator drone operating 90 miles away to Benghazi, and the C.I.A. later used it to help plan an escape route for the surviving Americans. But other military forces were too far away or could not be mobilized in time."
Why was Stevens there for the first time in 10 months? He obviously did not share the visit with the "Embassy's country team" because the visit was somewhat suspect.
"a large swath of countries swept up in the Arab Spring" and its complications that Obama is incapable of dealing with.
And, finally, the outright lie: "But other military forces were too far away or could not be mobilized in time."
When will the Times admit that Obama refused to give the call to have our military rescue Stevens and the others?
The problem of hiring local militias was being shouted from some rooftops BEFORE this incident. It was a known issue THEN,,,this report is saying the same thing that has already been said. The Washington Free Beacon had a report on how old THAT news was at the time of the Benghazi assassinations.
How could they have known, at the time, how much time would be needed to assist or perform a rescue these people. Would they have been able to hold out 8 hours or 8 days or 8 weeks? They could only know that after the event terminated....not in real time.
This report is a pantful.
"The panel also blamed the State Department for waiting for specific warnings of imminent attacks to act..."
THEY DIDN'T F@#$@#ING ACT! THEY LET THEM DIE! What a bunch of worthless @#$#s the panel turned out to be.
I read the 39 page report and there is no doubt that this is not worth the paper it is printed on. Pickering and Dick Shinnick are homers who are protecting the Department and the 7th floor--not to mention the WH.
The Amb doesn't have to share his movements with the CT. They work for him. It would have been useful to share his movements with them, especially DAO and the station chief, to get some imput on security conditions. But the CT doesn't have any approval function over the Amb's movements nor does it have to be informed about them.
Of course not. We were trying to overthrow him. Now we are alleged allies of the current regime. Obama didn't want to offend them. Look how long it took for the rescue team from Tripoli to get out of the airport in Benghazi.
all the circumstantial evidence is there
the same mercenaries funded to take out ghadaffi and loot Libyan wealth, led by the terrorist released from Gitmo by Holder
Hillary an Patraeus know Stevens was assasinated to cover up gunrunning to Libya before the election, but they cannot spill the beans or they will go down and Obama the gangsta will skate
Because the idiots that re-elected him don't have a clue about any of it...Ben Ghazi, who's that??
Quizzed my sister on Fast & Furious, she's heard of the movie. Where do I get my info from, no way would our president get reelected if he'd been running guns to Mexican drug cartels.
The masses are totally ignorant.
Thanks austinaero.

The perfect answer for someone with a need for quick sustenance who hasn't got the time for meal preparation. This one was really delicious. If you're not a vegetarian, you can add tinned fish to bump up the protein content. Make sure to give it a good shake/swirl with the water so it all gets rehydrated. I will definitely buy more of these. I would love if there was a multi-buy option.
MP MAX® Protein Meals are quick to make, and it tasted surprisingly pretty good. Not exactly low in carbs with 50g per pouch, but I knew that before I bought it thanks to the detailed info on the website.Goes Well With:On its own
"I like most of the new Protein Meal products and think its a fantastic idea. I have a new job that makes it very difficult to get much of a lunch break, and these meals really help to get a nutritious, hot, tasty meal down your neck with very little prep. I the chicken tikka is the best tasting of all IMO and the ingredients list is very simple and wholesome. Apart from a little rapeseed oil (which i personally would like to see replaced with palm oil or olive oil) the ingredients seem all-natural. My only gripes are a) the price is pretty high, and a similar priced meal could be gotten from my canteen (if i had the time to go there) , and b) the protein content is pretty low compared to, say, the Chicken Casserole. Would be great if it could be boosted."
"Bought this as it was at a reduced price and have to say im gutted i didnt order more!! I got 1 packet of Vegetable Tikka and it was amazing!! Mixability is almost perfect, however it is quite hard to get all the powder at the bottom of the packet. Tastes yummy, and is perfect for lunch/after a workout/ when your on the go. Definately filled me up, and the added protein and 3 of your 5 a day is an added bonus. I agree with previous review- need to get multi-packs sorted!"
Quick and easy to prepare and very tasty meals. Purchased at £1.99 great value! although they seem a little too pricey at £3.99 Be great if they could bought in multi packs.
"Tried the Veg Tikka first at the reduced price very nice & mixed well I highly recommend this I also like the Chicken Pasta but the price would put me off buying more. I have ordered another batch of Tikka, get them while you can!!!!!"
"Mix with water, is as simple as 1, 2, 3 ! Left it for 8 minutes and all i had to do was add a pinch of salt and pepper. Would tell everyone that needs quick food with out a microwave to buy them. I got them in the sale for 2 pound's a go, well worth that value not sure i would pay original price. I agree with Previous review, Please bring these out in multi packs would like to buy in bulk for after gym at work."
"I saw these on the half price offer so thought I would give them a try and I am really glad I did. I was really suprised at how good both flavours tasted. They are really easy to make and convenient as I can leave them in my locker at work. I have now placed another large order while on offer as for £2 I think they are great value. Good protien content, 2/3 of your 5 a day, tastes good, easy to make and convenient. Only down side is when they go back to £4 a time then I wont be able to afford to eat these on a regular basis."
"Tricky to mix; really, give it a THOROUGH mix before leaving it to stand. I love not needing a microwave for these, they still get piping hot. I had the chicken and veg. Surprisingly there was a lot of good flavour in it, not your typical chicken and veg. I had to add a little salt though. I genuinely felt good after eating these too. Good stuff. PLEASE bring these out in packs of 10 or so :)"
"I bought these as part of the double points day and I must say I am very happy with this. I bought the Chicken & Veg Pasta and, like a tin of chicken curry, the chicken is shredded. Once mixed it is effectively a broth-type meal which was really nice on a cold January. It was tasty, filling and more than enough as a lunch-time meal ahead of an evening gym session."
"Okay, lets face it, it is much cheaper to cook your own and bring it with you (cold) to work etc - however, this is all about convenience. I normally spend Sunday mornings cooking for the following week which is a tad tedious. So I took the plunge and bought 5 Chicken. Just finished my first one.Tastes great - very spicy which I like. Seems to have filled me up. If the nutritional information is correct then it is a great way of getting a 'controlled' hot meal down you as all the numbers are done for you. I will definitely be getting more and having a week on week off type affair with my normal lunches at work. If you are concerned about where the chicken has come from i.e. free range, organic etc then steer clear as there is no mention on the packet except that it is made in the UK - which is enough for me !"
I decided to give these a bash so that I have a good meal prior to a personal training. Not bad in the flavour department but quite tricky to mix and I did have some powder at the bottom once I finished. Would be REALLY helpful to have a 'fill' line on the side as I couldn't measure out the water easily at work.
"The Vegetable Tikka is the best one, it tastes really nice with no need really to add to it. The only thing I would say its not easy to mix the bottom of the pack aswell as the top of the bag. This is definitely worth having in your cupboard."
"Was a bit skeptical with this as it seemed like a glorified pot noodle. Very well balanced and tastes really great. Only had the Chicken and veg so far but definite thumbs up. Easy to prepare, tastes great. (You do need to add your own salt and pepper, or in my case just pepper). Its great not to have to faff around working out what amounts of what to put in a meal. We need more flavours though as I can see only having 2 getting a little repetitive. Thumbs up all round"
"I have given this product a 4 out of 5, mainly because of the price. I got the trial price and I still think it's on the expensive side for what it is and I would have been disappointed if I'd have paid £3.99. I'd consider buying it on a regular basis if it was a bit cheaper as it's very convenient. I got the Chicken & Veg flavour and it tastes great for something that you ""just add water"" to. I wouldn't say it's a meal though, it's more of a heavy snack. It's basically a glorified pot noodle, made with pasta and extra chicken. A great product overall. Would be useful to take to work or if you were going out for the day if you wanted to avoid fast food. It's not something I would buy regularly though at that price. I'd sooner prepare my own meals for a lot cheaper and they would fill me up more."
"Today after my workout, I've tucked into the Chicken and Pasta meal. Firstly, Sadly, these are not going to be an option for the gluten free dieters or the super strict, but for someone like myself, into strength sports or the average active gym junkie with a horrid work day; brilliant; Green Beans, Peppers, Cauliflower, Tumeric, Onion and rice, to name a few of the ingredients in the Veg option, tomato, pasta, big chunks of chicken in the non-veg option. Also, when water is added, its actually a pretty decent meal-size, I don't feel hungry, after a deadlifting session... which is rare, you get around 400g of food from either, I would add more water than advised on the packet though, and make sure its HOT! Not Bad, I say! Tasted pretymuch like a.... ""cleaner"" pot-noodle, looked not too dissimilar. My only gripe would be, you really do need HOT water, not just boiled Kettle water... its gotta be hot! and Stir! Make sure you stirr well, I had not mixed mine up quite so well... had some still dry bits at the bottom in the corners. I would use these at work, where I am traveling from hotel to hotel and cannot always pack myself some days worth of food. The size/shape also means they would pack very well. Definitely worth keeping a few as emergency stock if working/travelling or similar. Would use again!"
"Just received the Chicken & Vegetable Pasta sports meal, so I thought I would give it a try for my evening meal. The instructions are very simple just add boiling water and leave for 8 minutes. There was enough quantity to make it filling and plenty of chicken. The contents of the meal mixed surprisingly well with the water and I did not notice any lumps of powder. The meal was reasonably tasty for a quick snack although some may consider it slightly bland. These meals are perfect for when you are on the go and I would even consider taking them on holiday. From the nutritional values it can be seen that the meal is very nutritionally balanced. I do not think I would use these products frequently, although the trial price is reasonable, the full price may be a little too expensive."

BEIJING, China - After falling just 16 points shy of the world record in the men's pentathlon (P44) at the Paralympic Trials in June, Jeremy Campbell (Chula Vista, Calif./Perryton, Texas) came to Beijing with a plan to break it once and for all. Tonight he succeeded - winning gold and setting a new world record with 4,662 points (4,447, previous WR).
"I've been working so hard and was nervous this morning," said an elated Campbell. "To say that I broke the world record at my first Paralympics - there aren't words to describe what I am feeling right now."
Jeff Skiba (Chula Vista, Calif./Sammamish, Wash.) finished with the silver and a personal best with a total of 4,274 points.
"It feels great to get silver against these world class athletes," said Skiba. "We were hoping to go 1-2-3, so that's a disappointment, but a silver medal... I definitely exceeded my expectations. The crowd is the best we've ever seen and really helped us to keep our energy level up."
Casey Tibbs (San Diego, Calif.), silver medalist from Athens and a medal favorite, did not finish the competition after failing to post a qualifying mark in the discus (fourth) event.
In the women's 200m (T52) - the only other U.S. finals competition of the day - U.S. teammates Kerri Morgan (St. Louis, Mo.), Cheryl Leitner (Toms River, N.J.) and Mallerie Badgett (Oxford, Ala.) finished in fifth (40.82), sixth (41.01) and seventh place (43.42), respectively.
Morgan and Badgett, who both made their Paralympic Games debut today, remarked on their races and the competition so far.
"It's incredible... this experience has been more than I thought it would be," said Morgan. "Entering the stadium today and hearing the loud cheering - it was overwhelming. The volunteers and all of the support - it's been amazing."
"It felt pretty good, but I was a little anxious," said Badgett. "I didn't run my best time but I made it through. This is my first Games, and I'm having a blast and I am just excited to be here and want to continue to improve. It's been great... it's a new experience and a good one."

Bruce Bennett Nesheim
Bruce Bennett Nesheim, age 66, of Stanley, died on March 14, 2013, in his home in Stanley.
Funeral services will be held on Tuesday, March 19, 2013, at Bethlehem Lutheran Church at rural New Town at 11 a.m.
Visitation is on Monday, March 18, at Springan Funeral Home in Stanley, N.D., from 3 to 7 p.m. Visitation will continue one hour prior to the service on Tuesday at the church. Burial will be in the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery, south of Mandan.
Bruce Bennett Nesheim was born Oct. 9, 1946, to Hans and Ellie (Whitmore) Nesheim, in Stanley. He was raised in Van Hook, N.D., through first grade. The family then moved to New Town to live in a house that Hans had built for them. After graduating from New Town High School, Bruce attended the North Dakota State School of Science in Wahpeton from 1964-1966, becoming certified in diesel maintenance.
On Aug. 29, 1966, he enlisted in the U.S. Army for a three-year tour of duty, serving one term in Vietnam as a bulldozer operator. Bruce received the National Defense Service Medal, Vietnam Service Medal, and Vietnam Campaign Medal. After his honorable discharge on Aug. 28, 1969, Bruce worked for a short period as a heavy equipment operator on the West Coast. In 1975 he became an operator for Ritter (Oster) Construction Company Inc. of Hazen, which later led to his ownership of Nesheim Trucking from 1977 -1979. During the winter months he attended Dickinson State College.
Bruce married Ella May Klatt on July 22, 1972, at St. John's Lutheran Church in Killdeer, N.D. They made their home in Dickinson and had two daughters, CaraLee and Michelle. Bruce was a lecturer in the Heavy Equipment Operators Training Program at Dickinson State College from 1979 until the program was discontinued. Prior to his retirement, Bruce worked as a job supervisor for Kadrmas, Lee & Jackson PC of Dickinson. He was a member of the American Legion of New Town and Stanley, Veterans of Foreign Wars and Disabled American Veterans.
To his many friends and family members Bruce was a loving husband, father, and friend. The value he placed on education was passed on to his daughters. Both of his girls were taught the skill of making lefse; however, much to his dismay, neither would take a liking to lutefisk. Bruce will always be remembered for his willingness to help others, often going out of his way to offer help. Bruce was a history buff by nature. One of the things he most enjoyed was reminiscing with friends and family. Bruce will be greatly missed and fondly remembered.
He is survived by: two daughters, CaraLee (Russ) Heiser, of Dickinson, N.D., and Michelle (James) Williams, of Tuscola, Texas; five grandchildren, Drew, Tyra and Dawson Heiser, Connor and Emma Williams; his brother, William (Candace) Nesheim, of Broomfield, Colo.; nephew, Troy (Mariann) Nesheim, and their son, Carter; niece, Erika (Kelly) Taga, and their daughters, Malea and Brynlee; and many Nesheim cousins.
He was preceded in death by his parents.
Memorials: In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to Disabled American Veterans organization in Bruce's honor.
Online condolences may be shared at (www.springanfuneralhome.com).

I only use this flour to make socca, which tastes wonderful. Piece of advice though, never taste the raw batter.
Garbanzo Bean Flour
Posted by Reviewer2067111 on Dec 30, 2011
This is much cheaper than I can buy this product in my area. Great quality for cooking and baking. Really helps hold together my cookie recipes.
Good product
Posted by Reviewer1838230 on Jan 19, 2012
Add baking bread, gives an interesting taste.
Bob's Red Mill, Chickpea Flour
Posted by Reviewer3142632 on Jan 20, 2012
Great flour for those with gluten issues. It does taste like beans (after all it is made from beans) so if you do not like beans be sure to use nice spices to make the bean taste less intense. This also works very well as a facial scrub. This will gently remove acne scars overtime. Great product with multiple uses.
chickpea flour

Your website was easy to navigate and your service was excellent. The flour was exactly what I was looking for.
Gluten Free Garbanzo Bean Flour

Great, high fiber and lots of protein!
Garbanzo Flour
Posted by maryfran444 on Jun 20, 2012
First, I have to say I love Bob's Red Mill and I love garbanzo bean flour. Fiber rich and gluten free, it can be used in place of regular flour in lots of recipes. It makes a great tasting gravy...just add baking powder and a little salt as you normally would with flour. It has a unique taste that is appealing to me. I sub some into my flax muffins to make them lighter and not so dense. It's a good alternative flour for healthy, gluten free cooking.
Good value, beany flavor
Posted by 5357511497415059881 on Sep 08, 2012
Bakes up well. I've even cooked it to make hummus. Nice texture. I like to mix it with coconut flour for baking so my cookies don't taste too beany. Good value; I've purchased this product many times as it keeps the cost lower than using all almond and coconut flour.
great seafood pancake using chickpea flour
Posted by Reviewer2574701 on Apr 26, 2009
I read a recipe in the NY Times using Chickpea flour, which I was not aware exited! !Herb came up when I googled it. Placed the order, received as advertised, made the dish and enjoyed very much. It was a win win on all counts! Will certainly revisit !Herb when the need arises.

Keith Sonnier was born in Louisiana in 1941 and studied at the University of Louisiana. He received his BA in 1963 and travelled to France to spend a year painting. Upon his return to the United States he attended Rutgers University and moved to New York, where he began to make sculpture and installations from found objects that typically included latex and rubber. Sonnier began working with neon light in the late 1960s and three examples of this type of work are held in the National Gallery's International Painting and Sculpture collection.
At Gemini GEL in 1973, Sonnier made the Video still screen series, video being another of his favoured mediums. The series is comprised of five prints, each of which is a combination of four individual video stills screen–printed onto sheets of transparent polyester film. After printing, the individual film sheets were aligned and mounted on white paper. This layering process recreates the effect of a flickering video still on a television screen.

On November 30, 2012, the Office of eDiplomacy within the State Department's Bureau of Information Resource Management convened its ninth Tech@State conference, Tech@State:ElecTech. The event focused on the important and expanding role of technology on democratic elections and the electoral process both domestically and internationally. Over 50 experts from within the U.S. government, U.S. presidential campaigns, social media companies, international non-governmental organizations, non-profits, and academic institutions convened to speak on this subject.
In a welcoming address, Daniel Baer, Deputy Assistant Secretary for the State Department's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, discussed various State Department initiatives on international elections and offered thoughts on how technology and innovation have impacted that work. Baer stated that fundamentally, technology aims to reduce the transfer cost of information and subsequently, that the amplification of voice and choice in elections via technology inherently broadens democracy. Baer also noted that, "...There's still enormous potential for technology to change the way in which people interact with the election process both in this country and around the world."
He concluded with a challenge to the audience: "...As we think about specific technological improvements, one of the things that we can challenge ourselves to do is to think about how to make the translation from specific technological improvements to a sustained level of trust in democracy beyond a single election day."
Responsible for administrating elections and with the title of "Chief Elections Officer" for her state, Missouri Secretary of State, Robin Carnahan provided the keynote presentation. She began by stating that elections are not about technology, but rather public confidence in the electoral process and the results. Reflecting on the vast intricacies and complexities of elections, Carnahan argued that, "...elections are a miracle and even more miraculous, is that people generally still have confidence in the results." She stated that technology can help improve public confidence by increasing public participation, improving election administration and enhancing transparency. Citing specific technological advances from Missouri, she talked about the creation of Missouri's first statewide voter registration database, and using crowdsourcing to quickly review death records in order to make appropriate adjustments to voter registration records.
Following the keynote address, a panel on the digital strategies of the U.S. presidential election reflected on their own experiences and observations from the 2012 election. Nicknamed on the Twittersphere as the "political tech nerd dream team," the panel included digital directors from both the Obama and Romney campaigns and senior representatives from Google, Facebook, and Twitter. The panelists discussed the differences in campaign digital strategies from the 2008 and 2012 election and highlighted the various technological advances in their respective organizations. Their insights showed the importance of real-time awareness, effectively utilizing colossal amounts of data and how social media is used by campaigns to listen and respond to voters.
The remainder of the day included a panel on how technology is being utilized in elections in emerging and new democracies, and breakout panels that focused on how specific technologies are being utilized in various aspects of elections and the electoral process. Topics included electronic voting technologies, mobile technology in elections, and the usage of social media to engage voters.
Andrew Rasiej, the founder of the Personal Democracy Media, concluded the first day by reflecting on all the discussions that occurred throughout the proceedings. Finishing his closing keynote, Rasiej stated, "We are going from an era of e-government to we-government...as a tribe, we are not only building a better democracy, but we are building a better world."
The second day of Tech@State: ElecTech was an unconference held at the National Democratic Institute. Participants created their own agendas, further considered issues presented during the first day, and explored topics like the mechanics of internet voting and utilizing open data for elections and data visualization.

Just a few days ago I read about this site called cyberdunk.com
It is considered to be a MMORPG of sorts, you get to "create" your own basketball player, get drafted into a league, and then the computer, every day, simulates a "game" allowing your team and player to accumulate stats.
You can hire trainers, buy new equipment, and you make money every day to spend on these kinds of things.
Thought it was a new twist so I thought I would share it with everyone. I'm enjoying myself so far. You don't really have to do very much, and, of course, it is free to own your own player.
If anyone is interested, send me your email and I'll send you out an invite.
Just thought I'd put it out there, I figure someone might be interested. I'm in the Russian League right now playing for the Vodka Nizhny Novgorod. Weird, but fun regardless.
Use this link - http://www.cyberdunk.com?ref=19874
UPDATE - Anyone been active over the past few weeks? I know there were a handful of people that might have used this since I put the thread up.
If anyone new is reading this, the new season starts in about a week or so, providing a decent time for new people to jump in at the beginning of the season to appreciate the whole thing.
Remember, it is free, but you can spend a small amount of money ($4.50 and up) to buy points to make your guy better, faster. Not really necessary, but still.
I've got a lot of good hints to make money real fast, learning that betting is the key to making a crapload of money. I'm over $1 million!

Spanish Research Promises Better Optical Sensors
Novel approach uses common low-cost tape to create a flexible waveguide.
Researchers at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Spain, have developed a low-cost optical sensor that can detect the optical properties of many different liquids.
As such, they say, the sensor could eventually be used in many process applications including quality control during beverage manufacturing, environmental monitoring and field applications that call for the analysis of difficult-to-access liquids.
The sensor uses the conventional, low-cost, flexible, pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) tape sold in stationery shops. The researchers introduced light from an LED in one end of a piece of tape and then used a photodiode to detect light coming out of the other end. The really clever bit lies in between.
Here, they have…

Engineers Conjure New Tricks For Motors And Drives
Ongoing innovations, added intelligence and networking let motors and drives serve in unusual applications and replace obsolete equipment.
Just when it seems like today's sophisticated motors and drives can't possibly add more efficiencies and capabilities, engineers conjure up new tricks and refinements, followed by end users and system integrators who materialize new settings and challenges where they can make big gains. As usual, the rest of us are left to wonder, "How did they do that?"
This is because, while long-established drives and motor solutions might not appear unusual to most technical professionals and other onlookers, they obviously manifest as lifesavers to those most in need of their capabilities. Necessity doesn't just lead to invention, it grants new vision along the way.

About the Author: Atul Keshap is the Director of the Office of India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Maldives in the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs.Editor's Note: Atul Keshap visited India in early December. This blog entry is the second in a series of his reflections on his trip.
I flew to Chennai to reacquaint myself with the booming industries and economy of India's southeastern coast. Three years have passed since my last visit, and I was eager to see what had changed. Along with representatives from our Consulate General in Chennai, I toured Caterpillar's factory in Thiruvallur, Tamil Nadu. This plant manufactures heavy trucks for mining operations in India, Indonesia, and throughout Asia.
Caterpillar is one example of an American and international success story. The industrial equipment manufacturer designs, builds, promotes, and sells equipment and related services around the world. (You're probably familiar with Caterpillar's "Cat" brand of construction equipment, found at sites all around the country.) At Caterpillar, I saw high-tech machining and finishing work performed on a spindle, part of the huge axle for a gigantic 100-ton mining truck. Booming demand in Asia is fueling the manufacture of spindles in India and in the United States. This overseas operation, which is directly tied to Caterpillar, is supporting jobs back home.
The Consulate team and I also viewed a mining truck as it was prepared for sea shipment to Indonesia. Caterpillar's trucks in Tamil Nadu are primarily a mix of U.S. and Indian sourcing, research and development in both countries, and assembly in India. Many of the Caterpillar trucks sold in India are tailored for emerging markets and are a different generation of truck than what are sold in the United States.
By making careful investments in operations in India and elsewhere, globally competitive U.S. firms such as Caterpillar sustain and create jobs in the U.S. as part of a globalized supply chain. These firms also enhance their innovation by tapping into Tamil Nadu's -- and India's -- immense human capital, and they enhance American shareholder value, benefiting the pensions and 401(k) plans of people all across the United States.

Sarah Wegmueller 2013
When she arrived at Pace Law School in 2010 intent on studying environmental law, Sarah Wegmueller, now a rising 2L, had already seen first-hand the environmental challenges faced by countries around the world. Sarah, who grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, has crisscrossed the globe on three sailing voyages. Most recently, she sailed 3800 miles across the Atlantic Ocean on a research program collecting plastic debris that has accumulated in the Atlantic Ocean. Her team analyzed the quantity of plastic, the source of the debris, and how the plastic has changed the marine environment. Sarah also spent time in Shanghai, China working as a market researcher for the USDA. Later, she worked as a research associate at the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) in Washington, D.C., primarily contributing to a project analyzing experiences of post-war countries in managing natural resources.
When it came time for Sarah to choose a law school, she said, "I fell in love with Pace's environmental law program. The school provides a wonderful opportunity to work with remarkable professors and other interested students."
During her first year at Pace Law School, Sarah became a faculty research assistant. She is currently working with Professor Nicholas Robinson on a joint project between Pace Law and Shanghai Jiaotong University to create a Chinese-English dictionary of commonly-used environmental law terms. "Environmental law is not confined to a single country," Sarah explained. "By publishing a dictionary of environmental terms in both English and Chinese, we hope to clear up discrepancies in terminology and facilitate collaboration on environmental work between two of the world's largest populations."
In the fall, Sarah will begin working two days a week at the United Nations in Manhattan under the UN Environmental Diplomacy program. There, she expects to assist a small island nation on its environmental policy, drawing from her experience with environmental law in the U.S. and other countries she has visited, including developing small island nations in the Pacific. Sarah is also participating in the Judicial Honors Program this year. In the future, she hopes to work at either the Pace Land Use Law Center or as a student attorney at the Pace Environmental Litigation Clinic.
"Pace offers unparalleled opportunities for students interested in international environmental law, both because of the proximity to the UN in New York City and because of the quality of professors that we have," Sarah said. "Pace is a small school, so if you put forth the energy to pursue opportunities, doors just continually open up."
Though she hopes to work in either international environmental law or local land use law after graduating, Sarah found that her first-year professors—whom she called "dedicated, thoughtful and very approachable"—sparked her interest in other areas of law, too. For example, an engaging criminal law class Sarah took with Professor Leslie Garfield during her first year led her to pursue an internship at the Kings County District Attorney's Office this summer, where she is drafting motions and appearing in court.
