Ninety percent of the world living biomass is in the oceans and this is equivalent to half of global biodiversity. The marine environment is an extraordinary reservoir of bioactive natural products which exhibit chemical and structural characteristics that are not found in natural products from terrestrial species [
The family Monacanthidae includes about 102 species in 32 genera of marine filefishes distributed worldwide [
Mediators produced at the sites of inflammation have been known to produce pain through activation or sensitization of nociceptors adjacent to the injured tissue. Experimental models of inflammatory pain in rodents have been successfully employed to reproduce this kind of pain. These experimental models are used to search new anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs [
The acetic acid-induced writhing model is normally used in screening the antinociceptive effects of drugs. This is an interesting model to study pain, because it has a good correlation between the analgesic effect obtained in animals and in humans [
The intraperitoneally (i.p.) injection of SAE, 1 h before acetic acid administration, potently inhibited the writhing reaction at doses of 10 and 100 mg/kg. However, i.p. injection of 1 mg/kg of SAE was not able to inhibit the acetic acid-induced abdominal writhing. As a control, we showed that morphine also inhibited the number of writhes (

The antinociceptive effect of SAE was confirmed using the carrageenan- or PGE2-induced hyperalgesia. We observed that the i.p. injection of SAE 1 h before the stimulation with carrageenan inhibited hyperalgesia in all doses tested. As a control, we showed that morphine also inhibited the hyperalgesia-induced by carrageenan (
SAE inhibits inflammation-induced hyperalgesia in rats. SAE and morphine were administered 1 h before (
To confirm the hypothesis that SAE could be acting in neurogenic nociception, we used the hot plate and tail-flick tests. In the hot plate model, SAE presented antinociceptive effect only at the higher dose (100 mg/kg, i.p.) (

For the assessment of opioid system involvement in the antinociceptive activity of SAE, animals were pre-treated with an opioid receptor antagonist, naloxone. We showed that naloxone abolished the antinociceptive effect of SAE and morphine in the abdominal constriction and hot plate models (

Usually what happens is if someone wins their division in their fresh, soph or junior year they transfer to a D1 school from D2/D3/NAIA/CC.
Alot of times if somebody doesn't have good grades they go the CC route and improve their grades.
That's the current way to move up to D1.
In the 70s and before, my understanding is that you could actually compete in the D1 championship if you qualified even if you were a D2 wrestler. So you could be D1 and D2 champion because the D2 tournament was before the D1 tournament. So some D2 wrestlers were able to become D1 champion.

What Is Your Baby Addiction?
I'm crazy for knit hats with ears on them. I can hardly pass one up, especially if the price is right. The more I talk with other moms the more I discover that every mom has a baby addiction issue. Some mothers pine after humorous onesies while others collect plush blankets. Some are extreme and crave different brands of strollers or the newest editions of swanky high chairs. While most of these things are only used for small amounts of time (three years is a good run) moms still buy them even if they seem impractical. So tell mommy, what's your baby addiction?

I also see that there is something referred to as :PDFTranscoder.KEY_PIXEL_UNIT_TO_MILLIMETER,new Float(0.2645833f)
To mee it looks like the latter is the right one, but i am not entirely sure..
Any help is appreciated.

Express Lanes
Express lanes are specially designated highway lanes that are toll-free for carpools, vanpools, motorcycles, buses and eligible clean-air vehicles. Solo drivers can choose to pay a toll using a FasTrak® or FasTrak Flex® toll tag to access the lanes for reliable travel times. Alameda CTC currently operates both the I-680 Sunol Express Lane (southbound over the Sunol Grade), and the I-580 Express Lanes (east- and westbound through Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore).
Express lanes increase the efficiency of our transportation system for commuters, transit and freight, by taking advantage of existing capacity to reduce congestion and improve air quality - giving solo drivers the option to pay a toll for access into the carpool lanes when there is excess capacity.
Alameda County is home to two express lane corridors: I-680 Sunol (opened in September 2010) and I-580 (opened in February 2016), both part of the larger Bay Area Express Lanes Network in development by the current and future express lane operators including Alameda CTC, Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) and in collaboration with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority and the Solano Transportation Authority. Upon completion in 2035, the Bay Area will have 550 miles of express lanes operated by Alameda CTC, MTC, and VTA. The next express lanes to open in the Bay Area are the I-680 Contra Costa Express Lanes between Walnut Creek and San Ramon, which are scheduled to open in Spring 2017 and are operated by MTC.
A FasTrak toll tag is required for ALL I-580 Express Lane users, and in order to travel toll free on the I-580 Express Lane, carpoolers need to have a FasTrak Flex toll tag set to 2 or 3+. Get a toll tag today. The I-680 Southbound express lane requires a FasTrak toll tag for solo drivers. Carpoolers on the I-680 Sunol Express Lane currently do not need a toll tag, but can use the new FasTrak Flex toll tag set to 2 or 3+, or place their standard toll tag in a mylar bag to avoid being charged a toll.
Find a carpool and use the lanes toll-free!
I-680 Sunol Express Lane southbound from Pleasanton to Milpitas
Located along a 14-mile stretch of southbound I-680 from State Route 84 south of Pleasanton to State Route 237 in Milpitas, the I-680 Sunol Express Lane southbound has been in operation since September 2010. A northbound express lane along this same corridor is in the environmental documentation phase and is expected to begin construction in late 2017.
I-580 Express Lanes along the Tri-Valley corridor though Dublin, Pleasanton and Livermore
The I-580 Express Lanes span approximately eleven miles from Hacienda Drive in Pleasanton to Greenville Road in Livermore in the eastbound direction, and approximately fourteen miles from Greenville Road to just before San Ramon Road/Foothill Road in Dublin in the westbound direction.
Get updates about the I-580 and I-680 Sunol Express Lanes.

Project 1: Screening DNA Methylation in Bodily Fluids for Early Cancer Diagnostics and Therapeutic Monitoring
Project Investigators: Jeff Wang, Ph.D., Stephen Baylin, M.D., and James Herman, M.D.
Gene inactivation by promoter hypermethylation can occur at early stages of cancer progression, potentially before mutations can be detected. Using DNA methylation as a cancer biomarker shows great promise for early diagnosis, assessment in high-risk individuals, and post-therapy monitoring. This Project will develop a new integrated, chip-based platform for methylation detection that integrates improved methods for DNA isolation, bisulfite treatment, and detection of methylation using a quantum dot biosensor. The platform will be tested in preclinical studies by testing samples from patients with early stage cancers.
Project 2: Systemic Nanocurcumin for Pancreatic Cancer Therapy
Project Investigators: Anirban Maitra, M.D., and Martin Pomper, M.D., Ph.D.
Although the anti-cancer and chemopreventive properties of curcumin have been established, the clinical translation has been significantly hampered due to its poor oral bioavailability. This Project seeks to overcome this barrier by engineering polymeric nanoparticles that are capable of solubilizing poorly water-soluble drugs such as curcumin, providing a new approach for pancreatic cancer therapy.
Project 3: Noninvasive Quantification of Vaccine-Mediated Antigen Delivery to Lymph Node by Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Project Investigator: Jeff Bulte, Ph.D.
A major parameter limiting immune responses to vaccination is the number of appropriately activated antigen presenting cells (APCs) that capture antigen from the vaccine site and migrate to draining lymph nodes (LNs). A quantitative tool to noninvasively monitor these early events post-vaccination would greatly facilitate the clinical development of therapeutic cancer vaccines. Researchers have developed an in vivo tool where tumor cell–based vaccines are labeled with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles as a magnetic resonance contrast agent. MRI is used to monitor the trafficking of magnetically labeled antigen presenting cells that are responsible for inducing tumor-specific immune responses. Using this approach, this Project will evaluate candidate vaccine adjuvants for their ability to augment this critical step in generating systemic immunity. This Project will also extend magnetovaccination technology in preclinical lung cancer models to therapeutic cancer vaccine platforms and APC targeted monoclonal antibody vaccine approaches.
Project 4: Mucus Penetrating Nanoparticles for Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Project Investigators: Justin Hanes, Ph.D., Charles Rudin, M.D., Ph.D., and Craig Peacock, Ph.D.
Drugs delivered locally to the lung airways (via inhalation) are typically cleared rapidly by systemic absorption combined with the mucus clearance mechanism. Researchers have developed mucus-penetrating nanoparticles (MPP) coated with non-mucoadhesive polymers that are capable of providing delivery of controlled concentrations of drug locally to the lung airways over more sustained periods than previously possible with conventional nanotechnologies. By penetrating the surface mucus layer, it is possible to avoid rapid elimination from the lung airways, provide prolonged delivery of chemotherapeutics locally, minimize systemic toxicity, and significantly improve drug efficacy. This Project will evaluate the pharmacokinetics and efficacy of biodegradable MPP loaded with frontline chemotherapeutic agents for small-cell lung cancer therapy.

And this clique only allowed members with certain rites of entry: liberal Democratic women who were pro-choice.
She refused to share a stage with a pro-choice, anti-drilling Republican.
Romney was so proud of his pro-choice pedigree that he even tweaked his Senate opponent, Democrat Ted Kennedy, for equivocation.
In addition to lacking compelling personal narratives, the "pro-choice" frame is itself a loser.
"He's been a pro-life Mormon faking it as a pro-choice friendly," one of his senior advisers told The National Review.
Seeking the helm of a famously liberal state, Romney decided he wanted to be labeled as pro-choice after all.
As a result, the legislation "defies the dichotomy of pro-life and pro-choice," says Diaz-Tello.
An Iowa social-conservative leader huffed, "That is a pro-choice position."
From the pro-choice point of view, none of this is a particularly great deal.
Underground abortions have returned to the United States, just as pro-choice activists have warned for years.

In their last hearing Chris Brown's progress report was top notch! No negative test came back and he has been attending his therapy sessions regularly! Yay Chris!

I was reading the FAQ thread on this monitor and noticed that you could extend the 9 pin mini din cable on it. Is there a way I can extend the part of the cable that plugs into the monitor directly? I dont know what kind of connector it is but its the one you have to pinch to insert it into the monitor.

Some memory jars may have come from African American traditions of decorating graves with objects owned by the deceased. The objects embedded in the surface of these bottles and jars provide clues about when they were made or who made them. For example, Jug with Finial includes a campaign button for William Jennings Bryan, a Democratic presidential candidate between 1896 and 1908, while High-Buttoned Shoe shows a macabre row of teeth that may have belonged to the maker.

Investing isn't hard. The easiest way to invest for the long-term, with index funds, is also the most rewarding, as indexes beat most active funds hands down.
The last time the U.S. government bickered about the debt ceiling, S&P lowered its credit rating.
Accusations of wrongdoing during the housing crisis just keep on coming.
It looks like consumers aren't the only ones downgrading their opinions of big banks. After revising its criteria for assigning credit ratings to financial institutions, Standard & Poor's released a new round of ratings that includes some bad news for a few of the biggest members of the banking industry. Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells
The Standard & Poor's downgrade of the U.S. credit rating resulted in a similar slap for 10 U.S. insurance companies that back their life insurance, disability insurance and retirement products with strong holdings in Uncle Sam. The ratings agency lowered from AAA to AA+ the long-term credit and financial strength ratings on five U.S. insurers:

Which state should know Gov. Mitt Romney best? Massachusetts. After all, Romney was the governor for four years.
Yet Romney is far behind in the polls there 15 percentage points lower than President Barack Obama.
That spread makes me leery of Romney. If he had performed well as governor of Massachusetts, he should be ahead.
It seems the folks who know Romney best do not want him as president.

I have four variables, say abc07, abc09, abc11, abc13. I wanted to run a loop like
forvalues n = 7(2)13 {
replace abc`n' = myfunc ( abc`n')
The code gives an error because it doesn't find abc7 or abc9 (because the columns were named abc07, abc09). Is it possible to rewrite the code to make it accept abc07 and abc09 instead of abc7 and abc9?

Mimi Speaks
Everyone agrees these are troubled times; life is not what it used to be. Our economy is floundering, business is down for many people, and a state of uncertainty exists. We experience disconnectedness, communication overload, lack of control, and we are cranky about it! You can hunker down and hope things get better, or you can move forward toward your goals.
Please join United Chambers for a motivational luncheon led by Guest Speaker Mimi Donaldson, with lots of humor, who will provide four growth strategies for tough times and the five pitfalls to avoid on your road to triumph.
The four strategies are:
- Build stronger ties to your clients and customers.
- Take time to consider what is positive.
- Redefine what your business is.
- Review all expenses and build cash reserves.
Mimi will take you from misery to mirth, and have you laughing about the very troubles that make times tough. $25 for Chamber Members and $30 for Non-Chamber Members.

Headworks Project
Councilmember Tom LaBonge requests that you save the date of Thursday, March 8, from 8-9 a.m. to attend a press conference with DWP representatives to formally announce the Headworks Project.
As many of you already know, especially those living in the Silver Lake and Los Feliz areas of our district, the River Supply Conduit Project has been under construction for the last two years. Yet many residents do not understand what the pipeline project is all about. This visit to the site of Headworks on Forest Lawn Drive will give you a good understanding of this massive and historic infrastructure project that will be delivering drinking water to the people of Los Angeles.
Please mark your calendars. More information to follow.
Thank you.

Love a Library
On Saturday, Feb. 25, Councilman LaBonge and the CD4 Education Collaboration hosted three District Elementary Schools for the 2012 "Love a Library" event at Central Library in downtown Los Angeles. Third-graders and their parents from Charles Kim, Rio Vista, and Franklin Avenue Elementary Schools were bussed to the Central Library for a day of learning and reading. Some 50 students and their parents participated in the event, meant to instill a lifelong love of learning and reading and to make sure the kids know that the Los Angeles Public Library is a special resource for them. Studies show that if students aren't reading at grade-level by the third grade, they begin to fall behind and their prospects for graduation grow more remote.

Speaking Silence
Reading Scripture: What's the Point?
Like others, in the last several years Mormons with academic and theological interests have begun to be interested in scriptural theology. In a Mormon context, that tends to mean close readings of LDS scriptural texts, with discussions of their implications. Books such as Joseph Spencer's An Other Testament: On Typology represent this movement well.
Thinking about scriptural theology, however, requires that we first think about what it means to read scripture at all. Here are what I take to be some of the elements that go into careful scripture reading.
First, the Bible and the Book of Mormon, as well as two lesser known works of LDS scripture, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price, are equally canonical. But because for believers the Book of Mormon comes to us with a much less difficult history of transmission and translation than the Bible (though not without questions of translation and transmission internal to it), it is what Joseph Smith called it, "the most correct book of any book." Obviously that is an audacious claim.
I understand the claim to mean that no book teaches the gospel of Jesus Christ better. In virtue of that, I take it that the Book of Mormon provides a standard for understanding the Bible, though each book reinforces the teachings of the other. However, though the Book of Mormon may sometimes provide teachings to which we can compare what we find in the Bible, it is not fundamentally a guide to correct beliefs. (Nor, for that matter, is the Bible.)
Instead, all scripture brings us to remember (remember rather than merely recall) the gospel that we are trying to read in all scripture. Scripture serves as a memorial of our relation to God, and as such it can give an order to our world that relates us to God and the rest of the world. The most obvious way it does so is by calling us to repent and to remember the gospel in living our lives more than (not "rather than") by teaching us doctrine.
The Book of Mormon defines the gospel as Jesus coming into the world as the Messiah to be crucified for our sins, which requires that we repent and are baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end (3 Nephi 27:13-16, 20). That is both easier and more difficult than proclaiming correct doctrine.
Second, given their deuterocanonical status, with most other Mormons I assume that the teachings of the LDS prophets and other leaders, particularly those who speak in our semi-annual general conferences, also serve to help us understand scripture. Rarely, however, are those teachings about the exegesis or even the hermeneutic of a particular passage. Like the Book of Mormon they most often serve to bring the gospel that scripture preaches into our lives.
Third, reading scripture is about achieving self-understanding and coming to repentance (which are ultimately indistinguishable). It is only tangentially about recovering lost meaning from ancient texts. The latter is scholarship and has its place, but it isn't scripture reading.

Earlier this week I wrote about the gang rape of an 11-year-old Latina in tiny Cleveland, Texas, and the alarming reaction of some of its black townspeople. The post has drawn a strong response from the Colorlines community. Before I get to the meat of this followup, a little solidarity housekeeping.
I, an African-American woman, stand in solidarity with the victim. She is me. I am her. I've mentioned that she's Latina for clarity, and because I sense that some in Cleveland have used her race to distance themselves from what happened to her.
I, an African-American woman, also stand in solidarity with black people who are disproportionately criminalized and have suffered all matter of hell due to false accusations. This includes massacres (see Rosewood, Florida, 1923), unfair incarceration (Scottsboro, Alabama, 1931), torture (Chicago, 1970s through the '90s) railroading (New York City, 1989), and--as Colorlines commenter wardlarkin pointed out--round-ups (Tulia, Texas, 1999). I'm not citing this history to cast doubt on the 11-year-old in Cleveland or any rape victim but to provide context for Cleveland's defend-our-men-at-any-cost dynamic. Also, if some among the 18 are in fact innocent, they will still be branded for life.
The Meat:
For measured insights on how black men can help one another recognize and dismantle rape culture, I harassed contacted Dr. R. L'Heureux Lewis, a sociology professor at the City University of New York who frequently writes and speaks about black masculinity and sexual violence. On his Uptown Notes blog, Lewis, who is black, recently revealed how he was "casually socialized into thinking that there was no gang rape."
As an adolescent I knew which friends had access to 'adult materials' and also which friends or family were having (or so I thought) sex so they could tell me what I wanted to know. It was in this private context that I was taught about 'running trains.' For those not familiar, that's a colloquial reference to multiple men having sex with a single woman in succession. I was taught that if you found a real freak, everybody could participate. When I heard Snoop's [Doggystyle] album and they sang, 'It ain't no fun, if the homies can't have none,' that was my reference and the image that came to mind. I was casually socialized into thinking that there was no gang rape, instead there were only gang bangs. Whether it's Kid Cudi saying 'me first' on 'I Poke Her Face' or Wale ending his verse referencing 'a train' on 'No Hands,' our boys continue to learn gang rape is just a casual part of partying and growing up.
This summer, Lewis will teach adolescent boys how to fight sexism and gender-based violence through B.R.O.T.H.E.R.S. (Boys Rising Organizing to Help End Racism and Sexism), part of the Chicago-based anti-rape nonprofit A Long Walk Home. Eight chunks of what he said about the assault in Cleveland, Texas, and how to move forward:
1. "Whenever a tragedy like this happens, we have to start by acknowledging the value of human life.
2. Then we have to seriously consider the power of stereotypes. On one side you have people suggesting that the 11-year-old was presenting herself as older, which plays directly into the hot-blooded Latina stereotype. They've portrayed her as sexually insatiable, which means she's not a victim but a predator. On the other side, you have the stereotype not only of black males as hypersexualized and violent, but black males as endangered. We see the faces of these young men splattered across the media and the knee-jerk reaction is, 'They're attacking black men again! We have to protect them!' Meanwhile, the young sister who was assaulted becomes invisible."
3. "People have asked about the victim's mother. But if we're going to ask about parenting, our first question should be, 'Where were the boys' and young men's parents?' Questioning the girl's parents also assumes that families have the ability to stop bad things from happening. The truth is, bad things happen to kids who are well-parented. The more we make parenting a magic bullet, the less we concentrate on using our resources to heal hurt folks so they don't hurt others."
4. "Justice needs to occur in this case, justice that includes therapeutic options. Some of these boys and men taped the [assault] and showed it to other people. This tells me that they lack boundaries around the safety of sex. So we can lock these 18 up and throw away the key, but that won't change the greater rape culture. We also need to ask why other people saw a video depicting sexual violence against a girl and said OK, why only one person came forward and said 'This is wrong.' "
5. "We focus on how girls should behave--we tell them to walk in groups or change how they act around certain guys. But we need to ask ourselves how we talk to boys and men. We've put all of the onus on young girls and none of it on males--the people who most often perpetuate the sexual violence."
6. "We need to ask black boys and men to examine the various ways that they compromise their own safety, and the safety of their sisters and communities. As black men, we also need alternative ways to see power in our relationships with women. We need to consider how to have power with women, not power over them."
7. "We need to examine how we define masculinity as well. We've latched on to the most superpowered image of white masculinity, what sociologist Michael Kimmel calls the Marketplace Man. The Marketplace Man is a successful businessman, he has power over his home and power over women. But since black men [don't have] power equal to white men's, we've created a perverted way to [compensate] for it. Women become our currency. If you have no money but you have five women, you'll be all right.
You also see this in the stereotypes we don't choose to challenge. If you say, 'All black men are criminals,' we'll fight you on that. But if you say, 'All black men have big penises,' well we're like, 'Heh, heh...OK.' Of course that's not grossly different from how white American men think, but they have financial, educational, political and social capital that we don't."
8. "One easy exercise you can try with boys or even among your friends: Ask them to describe a 'real man.' You'll likely get a laundry list like, 'A real man is strong! A real man has all the money! A real man has the power!' Next, ask, 'Of all of those things, which do you have?' In answering this question, boys realize how unreal it is to be a baller-slash-star-athlete-slash-rocket scientist. They begin to see how anybody can question their manhood because they don't have all of these qualities. Finally, ask, 'Of the men you know in your community, name the ones you respect and what you respect about them.' This exercise helps boys create an alternate view of masculinity. That's the first step in forming a model for healthy black male sexuality."

Relishing the Past
Crack open the condiments: March is International Hamburger and Pickle Month, making this the perfect occasion to memorialize Henry John Heinz, the mogul of mustard, ketchup, relish and other tasty sandwich toppings. Born in Pittsburgh Oct. 11, 1844, Heinz began selling produce door to door when he was 8. At 25, he teamed up with a neighbor to produce horseradish, pickles, vinegar and sauerkraut. The banking panic of 1875 forced him to start over. He launched his now-famous family business that year, introducing tomato ketchup and adding new condiments over time — in fact, the company's product line grew to include far more than the advertised "57 Varieties." Heinz died May 14, 1919, but he didn't leave the company in a pickle: Son Howard stepped in and took the hamburger by the buns. Our quiz lets more Heinz history out of the ketchup bottle.

Captain Josh Clory, right, unloads the catch Wednesday at Seafood 2000 in Georgetown. Fishermen say while the prices are up slightly this year, they are still not making enough money to make ends meet.
©Steve Sharratt - The Guardian
P.E.I. fishermen are to be commended for a new, industry-driven initiative that could see hundreds, if not thousands, of lobster traps removed from the waters off our Island coastline.
Last week, Island fishermen joined the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for an announcement that would allow fishermen in the western Gulf to stack their lobster licences. In essence, one lobster fisherman could buy out another lobster fisherman in order to combine or stack that licence and fish using a single vessel.
The catch is that once the licences are combined, one of those lobster licences will be retired from the fishery, along with up to 50 per cent of the traps from one of them.
A single fisherman acquiring a second licence can fish a maximum of 525 traps, while two fishermen acquiring a second licence can each fish a maximum of 412 traps. If, for example, 40 lobster licences are combined or stacked, then up to 3,000 lobster traps could be removed from the water — the equivalent of 10 existing lobster licences.
What is refreshing about this latest proposal is that it came from the fishermen themselves and even more importantly will be implemented without costing taxpayers a single dime. For far too long, lobster fishermen have looked to governments to solve what is ailing the industry with little to show for their efforts.
Fisheries Minister Gail Shea, who is no stranger to the lobster industry, having grown up in the fishing port of Skinners Pond and now living in Anglo-Tignish, heralded the latest announcement, saying the future of the fishery resides in the "…ability of its industry to ensure its stability and sustainability. I'm pleased to support interested harvester organizations in developing industry-driven self-rationalization initiatives that allow for a more economically viable industry. I encourage other harvester organizations to take the lead on making these types of changes to ensure the sustainability of their fishery."
Other fishing areas across Prince Edward Island are now hinting that they too will sign on to the lobster stacking agreement.
Craig Avery, president of the Western Gulf Fishermen's Association, said "our proposal for change" will allow aging fishermen the opportunity to retire with fair compensation and help those that remain an opportunity to become more viable by being able to fish more traps. He reiterated the plan "comes at no cost to the government or the taxpayer."
That is to be celebrated.
Governments of all levels are struggling to balance the books while trying to meet the demands of their electorate for better access to health care, improved outcomes in education, more funding for the country's crumbling infrastructure and the list goes on and on and on.
In the current economic climate, there is no appetite for huge government-led buyouts. That being said, the federal government is not to be let off the hook completely.
Governments can support fishermen in their calls for more promotion and marketing, efforts to open new markets in Asian, Europe and Brazil and the hunt for more viable species in an effort to take the pressure off the once-lucrative lobster.
It is also imperative that all levels of government, and specifically the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, continue to listen to the concerns facing the Island's lobster industry and more importantly be open to other initiatives brought forward by fishermen.
Prince Edward Island's $113-million lobster industry deserves nothing less.

Some Lucky customers' bank accounts breached
Published 4:00 am, Wednesday, December 7, 2011
The bank accounts of about 80 employees and customers at 23 Bay Area Lucky supermarket locations were breached after someone tampered with credit- and debit-card readers in self-checkout lines, the grocery chain said.
Many of the employees and customers had money taken from their accounts. Officials recommend that customers who have used the self-checkout terminals in any of the 23 stores within the past few months close their accounts immediately, said Alicia Rockwell, spokeswoman for Save Mart Supermarkets, which owns Lucky supermarkets.
Officials do not have a dollar total for the money stolen from workers and customers, Rockwell said Monday.

Technicians discovered during scheduled maintenance in early November that the card readers had been tampered with, Rockwell said. The stores immediately replaced the equipment, the chain said.
Lucky is working with local law enforcement agencies as well as the U.S. Secret Service, which told the grocery chain that similar scams have been pulled on other retailers, Rockwell said.
The perpetrators managed to insert what are known as skimmers or sniffers into the readers. The devices steal information on the cards.
"They have told us that it is very sophisticated tampering," Rockwell said. "It's not something that a customer could see or know just by using the machine."
Rockwell said Lucky is looking into improving the security of card readers in all its stores.
Lucky customers or employees affected by fraudulent use of their credit or debit accounts should contact the chain's customer support center at (800) 692-5710.

The first of two Queen + Adam Lambert headlining concerts in Japan for the dual-city Summer Sonic festival.

- "I Want It All" is not performed.
- Besides "I Was Born to Love You" performed similarly to the previous concert in Seoul, the setlist also includes the Japan-inspired "Teo Torriatte", sung by Brian, who accompanies himself on acoustic guitar.
- Brian takes a photo with the audience using his newly acquired Korean "selfie stick" during his solo segment.
- Adam does not do any costume changes for the duration of this concert.
- Now I'm Here
- Stone Cold Crazy
- Another One Bites the Dust

Agreed. I'm also sick of female athletes being dressed up. I have no issue with swim suit issues of SI, but I cannot stand when there is a story on a female athlete and she is dressed scantily or dressed for a night out. I want to see them as they would be on the field.
If you haven't already, play Witcher 2 as Saskia is both a central character and as fully clad as I've seen in a while (her armor is plausible in the world at least).
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I am no skilled artist like many on this site. I just enjoy art, skill and the female form. I like the idea of a worrior in armor, haha great job. I love the elbow piece, really sick.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
^This is my thoughts. This is why everytime I play a game with scantily clad females I try my best to mod them into something a lot more logical!
Rated 3 / 5 stars
You're blinded by hate, so the forearm seems too long, bicep seems too short. Eyes and mouth are too big for that head, etc. Not your fault, but anything motivated by hate will always self destruct.
Side note, you'd rather see men in scantly clad armor? You do realize we're equals already right? We only like that look on females because the female body has the beauty to pull it off. The last generation ofhate is dying off. I would be honored if you could rise above yourself and be something new.
a) Run some measurements; perspective and distances are correct - (I know because I did the line planning for them).
b) The female body might have the beauty to pull it off, but the motivation for artists making over-sexual characters is due to sexism, to turn female warrior/fighter types into sex objects to push their narrative. It is cheap and shows lazy design by the artist.
c)'We' don't like that look, guys do, you should know that I'm a male and as a character artist I'm not a big fan of armor designs that do not make any sense in terms of practical defensive abilities.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I agree with your take on female warriors in fantasy. Most would just cover up and put on male armor to keep from being singled out if defeated.
P.S. The anti-paladin is a blackguard

The new CEO of Quizno's has decided to pick a fight with the big boy on the block. The McDonald's McRib is one of the most popular sandwiches, basically, ever. The highly processed chunk of pork smothered in BBQ sauce is waited on all year until its release by cult fans all over the country. Yet Quizno's new CEO Stewart Mathis decided to criticize the beloved McRib in an interview with the Nation's Restaurant News.
Mathis is going to learn the hard way that he is not at UPS any more and if you want to talk smack, stay away from talking smack about the McRib.
Mathis said of the iconic sandwich:
"It's not a great sandwich, in my view,"
The McRib is such a popular phenomena that there is a website set up so fans can locate the closest McDonald's that has a McRib sandwich. When Advertising Age, the company that handles McDonald's advertising, leaked a memo revealing when the world can expect to see the McRib at all McDonald's restaurants an Internet uproar commenced.
This is a point that even Peter McGuinness, CEO of DDB Chicago, the agency behind McDonald's marketing, admits is true. The masterful success of the McRib is due in large part to the fact that you can't get it all the time.
The only props that Mathis gave to the McRib is the "masterful:" way in which it has been marketed. He said he hopes he can emulate its success as he attempts to bring Quizno's back from bankruptcy and make it solvent again. He is going to need something better than mmmmm…Toasty.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/5/2014 (1160 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
On May 8, as I was watching CTV News, I heard Justin Trudeau declare that the Liberal party will not accept candidates who harbour pro-life views. This viewpoint did not surprise me. He supports abortion, same-sex marriage, contraception, legalized marijuana, euthanasia, assisted suicide and use of swear words.
Justin Trudeau, the so-called "Catholic" politician, and other "so-called" Christian political officials continue to oppose the church's most important teaching on the sanctity of human life and sexuality.
Justin Trudeau is a disgrace to the Catholic church and Canadians. His personal beliefs and his actions to not support pro-life candidates in the Liberal party are not in alignment with the party itself or the Catholic church's teaching.
Canada is a democratic country and individuals, pro-life or pro-choice, should be allowed to run, be elected and serve in Parliament. It is unconstitutional and not democratic to disavow someone from being a part of a political party simply because they have an opposing opinion about a highly controversial topic.
I would recommend that people, both in or outside of the Liberal party, not support Justin Trudeau's stance on not allowing people with different viewpoints to be a part of this political party.

From: Jay Beech <>
Subject: [TSL] Gerhard Bitsch from Germany 1881
Date: Sun, 02 Sep 2007 09:23:47 -0500
I'm searching for Gerhard Bitsch who emigrated in 1881 with his family from
the town of Sasbach in Baden, Germany according to the Baden emigration
database for 1866-1911on Ancestry. I believe they lived in NJ for a time,
were in MN by 1885, and returned to NJ shortly after that. The surnames they
used in the U.S. include Beech and Beetch, but possibly other spellings.
These are the names and ages of the family:
Gerhard - 40
Kate - 40
Barabara - 15
John - 13
Jos. - 12
Frank - 11
Will - 9
Fritz - 9
I do not know the date or the ports of departure or arrival. After searching
for months with every conceivable spelling, I believe I have exhausted the
resources available on both Ancestry and Genealogy. This includes the
hand-written Hamburg passenger index for that year. Any help or
recommendations would be appreciated.

Magic Week continues in New Haven through Wednesday. On October 25th, I proclaimed the start of Magic Week in the City working together with the International Brotherhood of Magicians Ring 59 and a number of City agencies, businesses and organizations. This week of events has included free magic shows for children and the whole family, magic classes and other performances throughout New Haven. Along with Magic Week festivities, there are a number of events taking place this week to keep everyone in the City busy and informed.
Halloween Safety
I�ll accompany Sgt. Ricardo Rodriguez of the New Haven Police Department at Truman School tomorrow as we discuss Halloween safety with a group of second grade students. We�ll be distributing festive and bags with important information to all children in attendance as work to make this a safe and healthy Halloween for New Haven children. This event is open to the media and will take place at 10am at Truman School, 114 Truman Avenue.
City Teens & College Students to Ask the Tough Questions at Mayoral Debate
City high school and college Students have been invited to submit questions for the final debate of the City�s Mayoral candidates in preparation for the November 6 election. On Tuesday, October 30, 2007, from 6:00 to 7:30 pm, a mayoral debate will be held by the New Haven Democracy Fund in conjunction with the League of Women Voters, WTNH, the New Haven Register and the New Haven Advocate. The debate will be held at the Wexler-Grant School auditorium located at 55 Foote Street. All three mayoral candidates will appear.
New Haven Continues to set the Pace Through an Innovative Program
This Wednesday, New Haven becomes a Pace Car City! As drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians of the City of New Haven it is our responsibility to share the road. The New Haven Pace Car Pledge is a citizen-based traffic calming initiative of cars calming other cars. It is a promise to set the �pace� for other drivers and serves as a reminder to share the road and take responsibility for safer streets and neighborhoods. Be a part of the solution to New Haven�s traffic problem. In order to become a New Haven Pace Car driver, you need to sign a pledge that states, �I will drive safely, courteously, and within the speed limit on our city streets and receive an official �New Haven Pace Car� sticker to display on my vehicle.� The window decal is a reminder to other users of the road as well as a �pledge reminder� to Pace Car drivers that you are taking part in a community-based effort to address the problems of traffic speed, safety, and congestion in New Haven. Pledges and stickers will be distributed at this kick-off event at River Park located at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Front Street in the City�s Fair Haven neighborhood. After the launch, residents will be able to download the pledge on line at: www.cityofnewhaven.com and return it to City Hall to receive their yellow Pace Car sticker.
The Pace Car concept originated in Boise, Idaho and has been replicated in Atlanta, Greensboro, Santa Cruz, Honolulu, Salt Lake City, and other cities and towns across the nation.
Madison Teen Honored for his Efforts to Benefit New Haven Families at an Event Regarding Smoke Detectors and Fire Safety- 2 pm Thursday
Jimmy Kottage is a freshman at Daniel Hand High School in Madison. For his community service project he raised money and awareness among his neighbors and peers to provide free smoke detectors to low-income families in New Haven. I will honor Jimmy for his efforts at this important event regarding fire safety. This is a timely event as we prepare to change the time on our clocks this weekend and at the same time change the batteries in our smoke detectors. Along with Fire Chief Michael Grant and our Fire Marshall Joe Cappucci, we�ll talk to residents about the importance of changing the battery on their detector and about precautions when using portable heaters this winter. All are welcome to join us in this important discussion. This event will take place in the Community Room of the Ribicoff Cottages Housing Development at 200 Brookside Avenue at 2pm on Thursday.
United Way Annual Campaign
I urge City employees to participate in this year�s City of New Haven Employee Campaign. This effort will benefit the United Way, Combined Health, Community Works and the United Negro College Fund. This year, for the first time, employees will also be able to designate funds to the Mayor�s Youth Initiative, Success by 6, New Haven Public School Foundation, the New Haven Scholarship Fund and the Mayor�s Plan to End Chronic Homelessness. This campaign will kick-off in the Atrium of City Hall on Thursday at 11am. This is a joint campaign in partnership with the Board of Education. The City�s Community Service Administration will create special incentives to encourage generous giving. The agencies that benefit from this campaign have a direct impact on the quality of life and opportunities made available in our communities. My goal this year is to raise $40,000 for these important causes. Be part of a great 2007 campaign by filling out the pledge card you will receive later this week and by motivating your peers to participate.
Residents in the East Shore/Cove Receive Burglary Prevention Education
This Thursday at 7pm, the East Shore/Cove management team will host a personal safety and burglary prevention workshop presented by New Haven Police Officer Joe Avery. This event will take place at Nathan Hale School at 480 Townsend Avenue.
I hope you have a happy and healthy week!
Very truly yours,
John DeStefano, Jr.

> Chet suggested I upgrade the firmware in the senao card.
> Which, to my knowledge, requires a Monopolistic System to do.
I did the above, successfully installed senao drivers
on my friend's system, upgraded to 1.7.4,
Station and Primary (?)....
I put cards in the soekris, pulled the plug, rebooted. It does not work.
The log says PRISM 1.07.04 - but it also reports
1.01.01 (one's for primary, one's for station).
Is that an issue?
From exec.php, ifconfig wi0 shows generic station id,
no ssid, no IP address.
ifconfig allows me to set some of these parameters
and see the change accepted, but cannot communicate.
No link detected, stations can't connect.
Has anyone had experience with this?
The wall is getting cracks in it...

REVIEW: Keep Buzzin' Cherry-Almond Hand Cream
This brutal winter has been harsh on my hands, so I was excited to receive some sample lotions from Keep Buzzin' Body Products earlier this month.
The Edina, Minn.-, based company that aims to produce 100 percent natural hand and foot creams, sent four 2-oz. jars, along with several small samples. But, for a product that claims to be earth-friendly, I was taken aback by the unnecessary packaging. The products were sent in a small cardboard box inside another large box with tons of paper. Granted, it was all recyclable, but still unnecessary.
I started by smelling each of the large samples, which included tangerine, cherry-almond and true lavender hand creams and spearmint foot cream. I've never been a fan of mint or florals, but I loved the cherry-almond and tangerine.
On the first go, I applied a small scoop of cherry-almond to my hands. It went on smooth, but it left my hands feeling a bit waxy.
The jar recommends applying a drop the size of a pearl. So, the second time I tried a little less. The cream left my hands feeling super soft and smooth, albeit a little waxy. And, I'd take waxy over greasy any day. After a few uses, my knuckles were no longer cracked and dry.
The smell isn't overwhelming. In fact, once it's on your hands it loses most of its scent.
But, the products contain no parabens, lanolin, petrolatum, sulfates, oxy benzene or added color. Plus, they aren't tested on animals, which are all major bonus points in my book.
The jars are $10 each (at KeepBuzzinBodyProducts.com), which is a bit much for the size. But, for a Minnesota-based company focused on environmentally friendly products, it's definitely worth the few extra bucks.
Keep Buzzin' Cherry-Almond Hand Cream might not by my new favorite, but it does the trick and leaves my hands feeling ultra smooth.

I want to thank Secretary Shinseki for appearing before us this morning to testify as to the resource requirements of the Department of Veterans Affairs for the upcoming fiscal year, and the VA's recommendation for an advance appropriation for medical care for fiscal year 2013.
I would also like to thank the representatives of the veterans service organizations who annually co-author the Independent Budget, and The American Legion, for presenting us with their views as to the needed funding levels for veterans' programs.
Although I have a number of concerns regarding the funding levels you propose, and questions regarding some of the assumptions and estimates that underlie your request, if you, Secretary Shinseki, tell me that this is what you need to get the job done in the coming fiscal year, then I will offer you my support and I will fight to get you the funding levels you say you need.
I do, however, have concerns about your request for a "contingency fund" and questions as to whether your "operational improvements" will actually generate the cost savings you estimate, but I will work with my colleagues to ensure that you have the bottom-line dollars that you need to care for our veterans in the coming fiscal year.
I look forward to hearing from our veterans' groups as to how they generated their recommendations, and to hear from them their experiences, and the experiences of their fellow veterans, who are on the receiving end of the programs we fund. What is the need out there and is the need being met?
Every year I refer to the Independent Budget as "my bible" when it comes to helping us decide what funding levels to recommend to the Budget Committee -- this year is no different. Budgets speak louder than words as to what our priorities are as a country. Caring for our veterans is a national priority.
I am hopeful that all of us, working together, will be able to provide the VA with the funding it needs, and that the VA will be a faithful steward of the taxpayer dollars it receives. I firmly believe that you should request what you need, and that you need every dollar that you request.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I yield back the balance of my time.
