With Acquisition, Is SoftBank ARMed For The Future?
July 21st, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
A couple of days ago, the internet of things (IoT) world was rocked with the announcement that the UK's semiconductor and software design giant, ARM, was being purchased by Japan's SoftBank in a cash deal for some $32 billion.
In the official acquisition statement, SoftBank says it intends to:

Geometric's STL Workbench Released For Cloud-Based Onshape
July 14th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
With all the fanfare that took place a couple years ago with the launch of cloud-based Onshape, we thought we'd weigh in with partner Geometric's announcement of its STL Workshop.
Onshape is by no means the first cloud-based/mobile CAD application. It was and still is, however, a unique true cloud-based technology and not a desktop/cloud hybrid.
Onshape began with what was one of the best and worst kept secrets in the engineering software arena. Worst, because even early on, it was evident that the technology would be cloud based, even if virtually no details were disclosed. Best, because virtually no details were disclosed, and that just added to the anticipation for the official launch of Onshape.
One of the inherent advantages that Onshape has always had is the fact that it was created from scratch by a team used to creating things from scratch with no legacy baggage to overcome and work around. Of course, the development team has not done everything themselves, because Onshape includes software components from Siemens PLM (Parasolid; ironically the same modeling kernel used by SolidWorks) and D-Cubed. This component licensing has let the Onshape team focus its efforts on what it does best.

Measuring Up: SPECapc Releases New NX 9 and 10 Benchmarks
July 7th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
Like them or not, PC benchmarks let you evaluate performance, identify potential bottlenecks, and choose effective system upgrades of both hardware and software. Unfortunately, too many users still think that system performance is simply a matter of CPU frequency or memory capacity, which leads them to think that dropping in a faster CPU or more memory will automatically yield significant performance improvements. Unfortunately, however, this is not always the case.
While CPU and memory upgrades can help in some instances, it often makes more sense to upgrade the storage subsystem or the graphics board if you're looking for perceptible improvement in system responsiveness or performance. For example, if you run a series of benchmarks and identify the components holding your system back, you'll be able to choose the most effective upgrade for your current system – or at least determine which components make the most sense in a new system suited to your particular needs.
Gamma 2 Robotics Launches Unique Security Robot For What Goes Bump In The Night
June 30th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
A couple weeks ago at Hexagon's International Conference (HxGN Live 2016), Gamma 2 Robotics, makers of artificially intelligent autonomous security robots, intoduced RAMSEE, a new security patrol robot. The launch at HxGN LIVE was part of a new partnership with Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure.
I spoke with the company's chief product officer, Francis X. Govers III in a video interview at the conference that you can view by clicking here.
RAMSEE is a physical robotic presence that, once it is programmed, patrols autonomously without supervision and provides real-time data on intruders, motion, heat, fire, smoke, and toxic gas leaks. The company says that it will soon offer fire suppression options for RAMSEE. As a human-machine interface it creates a powerful force multiplier, especially noteworthy for jobs that are difficult to fill, such as overnight security.

Autodesk Forging Ahead With Development Platform
June 23rd, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
Last week Autodesk announced several updates to its Forge platform, including new cloud application development tools, and three investments at Forge DevCon, the company's inaugural event for cloud developers.
Since its inception in December 2015, Autodesk claims that rapid progress has been made with early adopters of the Forge Platform in changing both what and how things are made, and at transforming "the future of making things."
The Forge Program consists of three main components; the Forge platform (PaaS), developer program, and a $100M investment fund. The cloud-based Forge Platform features APIs and SDKs developers can use to create design, engineering, visualization, collaboration, and other types of enterprise applications. The Forge developer program aims to bring together a community of cloud application developers by providing application development resources.
Hexagon Looks To The Future With Manufacturing Intelligence
June 16th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
We were in the land of Disney this week in Anaheim, California attending HxGN Live 2016, Hexagon's international user conference. Millions of kids are now out of school and it seemed like a good percentage of them were in town to visit Mickey Mouse and company.
A little over six months ago, what was known as Hexagon Metrology became Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence, a major rebranding to reflect its increasing capabilities in data-driven manufacturing. Much of the rebranding was enabled by Hexagon's acquisitions that broadened its historical scope, such as the acquisition of Vero Software, a diverse CAD/CAM vendor. Surprisingly, Vero had a relatively minor presence at HxGN Live this year, but that is supposed to change at next year's HxGN conference.
PTC's IoT Equation Becomes Technology Platform
June 9th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
What a difference a few days make. Last week I was in Denver teaching math to middle schoolers and this week I was in Boston with about 4,000 others attending PTC's LiveWorx 16. The spotlight at the conference shone on the Internet of Things (IoT) and PTC's commitment to it.
So, you think that the Internet of Things (IoT) thing is still just a fad? Based on my experience at PTC's LiveWorx 16 in Boston this week, IoT is becoming an increasingly big part of the future – not only for PTC, but for all of us.
Still not convinced? Just the attendance figures alone from this year over the past couple might help convince you – LiveWorx 2014 (~350 attendees); LiveWorx 2015 (~2,300 attendees); LiveWorx 16 (~4,000 attendees). Attendance numbers don't lie and that shows the growing interest in IoT.
School's Out for Summer (And For Mr. Rowe, Too)
June 2nd, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
This week marks the end of grand experiment and challenge for me – I've taught middle school math for the past 39 weeks. I began the school with an apprehensive sense of anxiousness and hope and ended it with a great sense of accomplishment and relief.
Before I got involved this school year I had been interested not only in education in general, but how I might get actively involved, especially at the high school level in math and/or science. No, I have never been a teacher in a formal sense, and no, I don't have a teaching credential either (something I was reminded of continually throughout the year). Even though I had the will and desire to become a teacher, unless I had a teaching license issued by the state of Colorado, my options were scarce.
I could have been a volunteer or a private tutor, but for me these options were limited in scope, responsibility, and personal satisfaction. I thought last year that I was at a dead end until I remembered an ad I had seen and saved a couple of years previously about a program called Denver Math Fellows. This program is a large-scale supplemental intervention program integrated into the school day.
A Typical Classroom Setting
The concept and possibility of becoming a Denver Math Fellow (DMF) really appealed to me because one of the primary qualifications was a college degree (mine's in industrial design/mechanical engineering technology). This was a good option for me because I had never been a teacher before. Other qualifications included the desire to help students close the opportunity gap in math, as well as committing to at least a one-year term of service — in my case August 2015 through this week.

Shapeways Hopes To Provide Boost For HP Jet Fusion 3D Printers
May 26th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
Shapeways, a leading 3D printing service and marketplace for consumers, announced a collaboration with HP Inc. to help drive HP's Jet Fusion 3D Printer. Shapeways said it is the first company to receive an early prototype unit in its Eindhoven, Netherlands factory and is working closely with HP. Once publicly available sometime later this year, Shapeways hopes the new commercial HP offering will provide its 3D community with a superior quality black nylon material that will 3D print in greater detail, with a faster lead time, and at a lower cost than current dyed nylons.
Shapeways produces roughly 3,000 unique products every day and over 1 million unique products annually.
"We chose to work with Shapeways because they are the leading authority in bringing creative ideas to life and are the largest consumer 3D printing portal, with 3,000 products made every day," said Stephen Nigro, president of HP's 3D printing business. "The HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution will enable Shapeways to bring high quality parts up to 10 times faster than before for lower cost."
HP's Virginia Palacio and Stefan Rink, Shapeways VP of Manufacturing, with the new HP Jet Fusion 3D Printing Solution, the world's first production-ready commercial 3D printing system, installed in Shapeways' Eindhoven factory.
According to Shapeways, in addition to offering superior quality, this new technology could potentially reduce standard shipping from the current seven business days to next day delivery.
UPS Launching Global On-Demand 3D Printing Manufacturing Network
May 19th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
The notion of a 3D printer in every home has received a lot of attention in the past few years, and sales of relatively low cost 3D printers have skyrocketed.
But why? For a process and capability that was supposed to be ubiquitous and necessary for every home? Really? The machines may be relatively inexpensive, but how many parts are you truly going to want to ultimately design and produce? Then there are material, size/volume, and physical characteristic, and quality limitations. The machines can also be fickle to set up and maintain. I suspect that after an initial period of excitement and promise, a lot of early-purchase 3D printers are now sitting idle and collecting dust.

Celebrate National Public Lands Day with Free Admission and Special Events at National Parks
WASHINGTON - On September 22, join in the nation's biggest celebration of the great outdoors on National Public Lands Day! All national parks will have free admission and many will host volunteer service projects open to all.
"Every year, Americans come together on National Public Lands Day to demonstrate their love of national parks," said National Park Service Deputy Director P. Daniel Smith. "Activities hosted by parks across the nation will promote environmental stewardship and encourage the use of public lands for education, recreation, and good health."
Marking its 25th anniversary this year, National Public Lands Day is the nation's largest single-day environmental volunteer effort. More than 200,000 people are expected to participate in volunteer service events designed to improve the health of public lands and encourage shared stewardship.
Secretary of the Interior Ryan K. Zinke will celebrate the day by working alongside groups of military veterans and youth to paint several historic structures at Grand Canyon National Park. The volunteer project to restore the cabins is an example of the $11.6 billion in deferred maintenance needs in the National Park System. Secretary Zinke will also meet with national park partners and congressional representatives to discuss legislative efforts to address the maintenance backlog.
Grand Canyon is just one of 100 national parks and 2,600 federal public land sites hosting National Public Lands Day events. In other national parks, volunteers will rehabilitate campgrounds, improve trails, restore native habitats, repair bluebird boxes, clean beaches, and refurbish historic buildings, among other projects. Check NPS.gov for more information and a list of sites.
Volunteer efforts on days such as National Public Lands Day demonstrate the willingness of people to give back to the land for the benefit of parks. Volunteers assisting on work projects on National Public Lands Day will receive a voucher that can be redeemed for free entrance to any national park on a date of their choosing.
National Public Land Day celebrations also include recreational and educational activities, such as hikes, bike rides, paddle trips, bird watching excursions, and water quality testing. To encourage everyone to join the fun, it is an entrance fee-free day for national parks and most other federal public lands and state parks.
The National Environmental Education Foundation coordinates National Public Lands Day in partnership with seven federal agencies as well as nonprofit organizations and state, regional, and local governments. The federal partners are the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, Department of Defense, Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the U.S. Forest Service.
All National Public Lands Day events are free, and open to people of all ages and abilities. To learn more, register an event, or find an event near you, visit NEEFusa.org/NPLD. Follow National Public Lands Day on Twitter and Facebook for updates and share your own activities that day with #NPLD.

School District Operating Under Old Law
- Dee Black Senior Counsel, HSLDA
- 2014 22 Jan
Home School Legal Defense Association assisted a member family in Georgia last week after the school district in which they live erroneously informed parents about legal requirements for homeschooling. In December, the school social worker/home school coordinator of Lumpkin County Schools in Dahlonega sent a letter to all parents conducting home study programs, telling them what they had to do to comply with state law. The letter cited legislation passed by the General Assembly of Georgia during its 2012 session. Being unsure about the contents of the letter received, an HSLDA member family forwarded it to HSLDA Senior Counsel Dewitt Black for review and advice.
The school official's letter stated that parents needed to provide attendance records to the Georgia Department of Education and that they had to obtain a certificate of attendance from the department for a learner's permit, driver's license, work permit, or as needed for other purposes. Black replied on behalf of our member family and pointed out to the official that the law governing home study programs had again been amended during the 2013 legislative session with significant changes. Specifically, no longer are parents required to submit any attendance records to the department of education. Further, the parent or guardian now has the authority to execute any document required by law to evidence the enrollment of a child in a home study program, the student's grades, or any other required educational information. This includes, but is not limited to, documents for purposes of verification of attendance by the Georgia Department of Driver Services in order to obtain a learner's permit or driver's license, documents relating to employment of minors, and any documents required to apply for state or federal public assistance. Finally, Black requested that the school official send parents a corrected version of the December letter setting forth the current legal requirements for home study programs.
Other HSLDA members who are unsure about the accuracy of information received from public school officials should contact us for assistance.
Protect Your Family
If you or someone you know is not a member of HSLDA, will you consider taking a moment today to join or recommend us? Your support for our work enables us to defend individual families threatened by government officials and protect homeschooling freedom for all. Join now.
Senior Counsel Dee Black answers questions and assists members with legal issues in Georgia. He and his wife homeschooled their children.

FRITZ!Powerline 1260E Service - Knowledge Base
AVM Content
Powerline connection drops frequently
The powerline connection between two or more FRITZ!Powerline adapters drops frequently. After the connection drops, it is either automatically re-established, or it might be necessary to briefly unplug one of the powerline adapters.
1 Installing the latest FRITZ!OS for FRITZ!Powerline
- Install the latest FRITZ!OS on the FRITZ!Powerline adapter.
2 Checking whether the FRITZ!Powerline adapters are working properly
Test the FRITZ!Powerline-Adapter while it is plugged into a power strip to rule out technical defects:
- Plug the FRITZ!Powerline adapters into adjacent plugs of a power strip. Unplug all other devices from the power strip.
- Use a network cable to connect a FRITZ!Powerline-Adapter to your router (for example a FRITZ!Box).
- Use a network cable to connect the other FRITZ!Powerline adapter to a network device (for example a computer, set-top box).
Note:If you are using a FRITZ!Powerline adapter with wireless capabilities, you can also connect a wireless device (for example a smartphone) instead.
- Check whether the error also occurs when you perform this test.
3 Avoiding external sources of interference
Often external factors that disrupt the powerline communication over your house's electrical wiring can cause connections to drop. The following tips provide advice on how to eliminate such sources of interference:
- Do not ever use FRITZ!Powerline adapters behind a device (for example a power strip) with surge protection.
- If possible, only plug the FRITZ!Powerline adapters directly into wall outlets instead of using extension cords or power strips.
- Plug the FRITZ!Powerline adapters into different wall outlets to test their performance.
- Avoid powerline connections on different phases, fuse boxes, and ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCI).
- For testing purposes, unplug other appliances in order to identify and eliminate possible sources of interference.
Examples of common sources of interference are switched-mode power supplies, dimmers and halogen systems, refrigerators and freezers, dryers and washing machines, or electric pumps in use.
- Lay cables that carry VDSL signals at least 10 cm away from electrical wiring and outlets.
- Reduce the distance between the adapters.

Prayer smackdown: Warren versus Robinson
God may end up feeling a bit confused on January 20, when prayers galore for the new president will rise like incense from a variety of sources. President-elect Obama chose Saddleback Church Pastor Rick Warren to offer the inaugural prayer, much to the consternation of the prez-elect's gay and lesbian supporters: Warren was an outspoken proponent of Proposition 8, which outlawed same-gender marriage in California. Others have expressed concern that Warren will pray in the name of Jesus--as one would expect an evangelical to--and so offend everyone except the Christians. And then there are evangelicals who think Warren is an EINO--evangelical in name only--evidenced by his support of Obama, and they don't want Warren speaking for them. And, hey, why not a Catholic? Or a lay person? How about a woman?
At least interest group will be happier today, however, as openly gay Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire will be giving the invocation at an inaugural event at the Lincoln Memorial, according to the Concord Monitor, although Robinson says he doesn't think the selection is because of the flack Obama has gotten over Warren. (Yeah, right.) That's one unhappy group down, 100 to go.
I have a solution to the problem: No prayers at official inaugural events! You'd think a prayer at a federal swearing in would be unconstitutional. Besides, I'd love to meet the person who can write a totally "inclusive" prayer. But even from a religious perspective: Why would any minister want to appear co-opted by the politician du jour?

Talk:Network configuration
Set host name/IP
Shouldn't the hosts file include the local static IP address and computer name along with the loopback version? - KitchM 02:54, 1 June 2009 (EDT)
- Does anybody have more info on this? - Aaahaaap 11:22, 2 November 2009 (EST)
- I sure wish someone did. - KitchM 18:43, 2 November 2009 (EST)
The following section and statement are unclear:
"Other option
If for some reason dhcpcd eth0 fails, install dhclient (pacman -Sy dhclient) and use 'dhclient eth0' instead. "
Exactly how would one know that "dhcpcd eth0" failed? - KitchM 02:29, 1 June 2009 (EDT)
Troubleshooting Ping
The section entitled Troubleshooting should probably include a section to address the problem of ping not working correctly. - KitchM 02:36, 1 June 2009 (EDT)
Needs cleanup
The hostname portion fails to explain whether or not the quotation marks around the name is required. The next example does not have them. Either way, it must be explained.
We are left with another question; is it listed in hosts under the loopback address only, or also included in the standard IP address?
Under IP Aliasing we are missing the explanation of what it is and why one would use it.
Regarding the TCP window scaling, what does the following phrase mean: "Or you can try to remove one of your RAM sticks (yes, sir)."
Let's clean this up, everyone.
Thanks. - KitchM 22:38, 27 November 2009 (EST)
Shouldn't that be Configuring The Network, or Network Configuration? - KitchM 00:50, 25 December 2009 (EST)
In fact, wouldn't "Network Configuration" be better because Network would be the first and most common sense search item? _ KitchM 12:36, 8 February 2010 (EST)
- Perhaps "Network" would be the best title, then, since this article deals primarily with using the "network" daemon. -- pointone 11:37, 26 February 2010 (EST)
- You think so? I don't know. Doesn't it have more to do with network setup in general? - KitchM 00:14, 5 March 2010 (EST)
hwdetect not installed by default
In the section Load the device module it's said that one should use hwdetect which is not installed by default in Arch system. How then it can be installed without network? (= I think that should be mentioned. --Sindikat 09:05, 8 February 2010 (EST)

In honor of VH1's Behind The Music: Pitbull airing tonight at 9pm, we are counting down 5 things you didn't know about the Miami-bred hip-hop star. Check them out below!
He wants to live the quiet life:
The "Hotel Room Service" hitmaker revealed during a Q/A with Enrique Iglesias and George Lopez that he wants to "live the life of a Corona commercial" – and throw the empty bottle out at sea. We hope he includes a message in the bottle…just for us!
He was inspired by Mariah Carey's song "Hero":
Pitbull sells hit singles like hot cakes, but back-in-the-day he would turn to Mariah Carey for a little inspirational. The talented freestyler would spit his rhymes in the streets and eventually got the attention of his high school teacher who helped him land his first casting call for a DMX music video. Guess having the 'strength to carry on' paid off!
He has a baby mama:
Pitbull may be living up the single life now, but he used to date Barbara Alba, who he has two children with. During an exclusive interview with Latina for the "Hot Guys Issue" he said, "My kids are all characters…Sometimes my son will be like, 'Are we going in the Benz or the Beamer?' And I'm like, 'Hey, it's the white care or the silver car, OK? And what do you have to do to get something like this? Work hard. Because I'm not going to give it to you.' I tell them that my job is to be out here and their job is to go to school."
He wants to be the next J.Lo:
After selling over 7.5 million singles worldwide, Pitbull is ready to build an empire. He told Latina exclusively, "I'm not here to exploit our culture - I'm here to empower it, and I want to build a brand like Jennifer Lopez." All we have to say is, dale!
He used to shop at Goodwill:
During his appearance on the Lopez Tonight Show last year, Pitbull confessed to George Lopez that he used to live near the 'mecca of Goodwill' and that his mom Alysha Acosta still shops there. The Cuban rapper joked about having de todo un poco (a little bit of everything) from the charity store.
Watch this throwback of Pitbull on The Lopez Tonight show below. We love the Latina shout-out!

January 24, 2007... Saint Louis, Missouri... The American Soybean Association (ASA) praised the recognition of biodiesel in President George W. Bush's State of the Union Address. ASA will continue to champion support of biodiesel with the Administration and Congress for extension of the biodiesel tax incentive beyond 2008, as well as an expanded role for biodiesel in the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS).
"For too long our nation has been dependent on foreign oil," the President said in his address last night. "It is in our vital interest to diversify America's energy supply – and the way forward is through technology." The President specifically called to "...expand the use of clean diesel vehicles and biodiesel fuel."
President Bush called for a larger Renewable Fuels Standard for the nation of 35 billion gallons by 2017.
"Through American-made biodiesel, U.S. soybean growers can play a vital role in meeting this new goal that will strengthen America's economy, national security and environment," said ASA Chairman Bob Metz, a soybean grower from West Browns Valley, South Dakota, who currently serves as the immediate past Chairman of the National Biodiesel Board. "This initiative will benefit soybean growers by creating long-term demand for biodiesel made from soybean oil. We are pleased that biodiesel has strong bipartisan support in Congress. ASA looks forward to working with both parties to pass pro-biodiesel legislation, such as the biodiesel tax incentive, and a greater role for biodiesel in the RFS."
Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) made the Democratic response to the president's State of the Union speech Tuesday night. He said, "We are looking for affirmative solutions that will strengthen our nation by freeing us from our dependence on foreign oil, and spurring a wave of entrepreneurial growth in the form of alternate energy programs. We look forward to working with the President and his party to bring about these changes."
Analysis published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) indicates that every 50 million gallons of biodiesel raises soybean prices one percent. At the current level of 300 million gallons, biodiesel demand is already adding about 30 cents per bushel.
"Biodiesel is an essential component of a comprehensive national energy policy that will help the United States reduce its dependence on imported oil," Metz said. "Every gallon of biodiesel processed from domestically grown soybeans also helps thousands of farmers and their families, and the rural communities in which they live."
ASA is the policy advocate and collective voice of its 24,000 producer-members on domestic and international issues of importance to all U.S. soybean farmers.

Health Crisis of Bronx Re-Entry Populations
December 19, 2012
Adapted from:
The study, "Health Gaps Survey of Bronx Re-entry Populations," indicates that more than 40 percent of parolees and released prisoners sent to the Bronx from the state prisons have two or more major chronic conditions. The study also found that levels of hepatitis C testing and treatment in those released individuals are very low, even though hepatitis C is a major problem in prison populations. Only 36 percent of the released persons who were interviewed reported having been tested for hepatitis C.
The study interviewed 181 Bronx releasees. Among these, 68 percent reported substance abuse problems, 22 percent reported mental health problems, and 40 percent reported being in treatment for HIV/AIDS. Chris Norwood, executive director of Health People and lead author of the study, stated that the numbers underscore a crisis in health for parolees, which has to be addressed. He explained that it was not a random survey, but was focused on the poorest parolees with many staying in homeless shelters.
The study will be released at a public briefing at Health People Community Preventive Health Institute in the Bronx. Also, at the briefing the challenges the Bronx faces and the progress being made with its re-entry population will be discussed, including a discussion by the Bronx Borough Presidents' Office on the work of the new Bronx Re-Entry task force, community efforts by the Bronx Re-Entry working group to increase support services for returning prisoners, and early results of outcomes from a study of Health Seeking behavior among Bronx Re-Entry populations. Norwood stated that the Bronx is making great efforts to ensure health services and social support for parolees; but with the increase in numbers and the serious health issues of parolees, help is needed. The study was sponsored by the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The full study results are available by emailing email@example.com.

text: Replacement blades for hockey sticks come in two styles, wood and composite. Composite blades are by far the most popular blade, as they don't collect or retain much water and are lighter, which many players prefer. Wood, however, will tend to be slightly more durable and some players say they can "feel" the puck better with a wood blade, but composite technology has come a long way so the feel of the puck isn't really much of an issue anymore. Pure Hockey carries replacement hockey blades from all the leading brands like Bauer, Sher-Wood, Graf, Warrior, Franklin and many more. Be careful to check your shaft before purchasing a blade - if you have a tapered shaft, you'll need a tapered blade.

Van Halen's 'A Different Kind of Truth' Debuts High on U.K. Charts
The U.K. numbers are in and Van Halen's 'A Different Kind of Truth,' which is their first album in 14 years and first with David Lee Roth at the vocal helm in 28 years, debuted at No. 6 on the sales charts. Bravo! Congrats to the band on the first sales accolade to come in. But wait. There's more to come, VH fans.
We'll find out how the album did sales-wise in the U.S. when the Billboard Top 200 chart is made available on Wednesday morning (Feb. 15.) Early estimates indicated that the album was on track to sell between 180,000 and 200,000 here, and those numbers are solid enough where the album could land at No. 1. Let's hope that domestic Van Halen fans went out and nabbed the record, pushing a rock album back to the top of the charts.
Adele's '21,' which scooped up a ton of Grammys on Sunday (Feb. 12), has been sitting pretty at No. 1 for weeks upon weeks. It's high time for rock to rule the roost again. If you haven't picked up your copy of 'A Different Kind of Truth' yet, what the hell are you waiting for?

NSW Cup Round 25 Previews
Auckland Vulcans Vs Western Suburbs Magpies
Mt Smart Stadium, Saturday, August 28
Kick-off: 1.00pm (NZST) 11.00am (AEST)
Referee: Shane Rehm
Last roll of the dice here for the Auckland Vulcans as they continue to look to force their way into the top eight before season's end. The equation is quite simple really. The Vuclans must win this tough encounter against the Magpies and then defeat the bottom of the table Bears in Round 26. It will certainly be interesting to see how the Western Suburbs side approaches this match as with two rounds remaining they cannot advance higher up the ladder and only two heavy losses would threaten to see them drop from their current position of fifth. They also head across the Tasman without the likes of Andrew Everingham, Jamie Sharkie and Andrew Pearn who are all regular walk up starts for Coach Leo Epifania, so it remains to be seen what affect this will have on the field. Unlike their counterparts, the Vulcans appear to be fielding one of their strongest teams in sometime with players like Lousi, Latimore and Godinet all pulling on jerseys for the Vulcans at the right time of the year. Congratulations to Alehana Mara who made his NRL debut last week against Manly and he has retained his spot on the Warriors bench for their Friday night clash against the Broncos. One team with it all to play for and another who will not want to lose momentum a fortnight out from the finals.
Cronulla Sharks Vs North Sydney Bears
Toyota Park, Saturday, August 28
Kick-off: 1.15pm
Referee: Luke Phillips
Apart from an upset victory against the Bulldogs some three weeks ago, the Sharks have been going up and down in the one spot like a cork in the ocean having lost seven of their last eight. This run of outs has left the club in an awkward spot just two weeks out from the finals, yet they know a win at home against the struggling Bears should all but seal their place in the eight. Scott Porter missed a kick from the sideline to draw the match against the Dragons last week, but hopefully he has put that behind him as his combination with Albert Kelly holds the key to a Sharks victory. The Bears showed some signs of improvement following their 74 point loss against the Wolves a fortnight ago but were still no match for a final's bound Balmain Ryde-Eastwood last weekend. Jamie Simpson was just about the Bears best last week but he is set to miss this match after being called to the Rabbitohs for their must win clash against the Eels on Friday night. The Sharks have named a very similar side to the one that just missed against the Dragons with the exception being the return from injury of Tim Weyman. You would have to imagine the Sharks will be the more desperate of the two sides here as a loss coupled with a Round 26 match-up against the Jets at Henson Park could spell the end of the season for Cronulla.
Balmain Ryde-Eastwood Tigers Vs Shellharbour Dragons
Leichhardt Oval, Saturday, August 28
Kick-off: 3.00pm
Referee: Rob Bowen
Broadcast: www.nswrl.com.au's Weekend Game-Cast, proudly brought to you by Teamm8
The Balmain Ryde-Eastwood Tigers welcomed back a number of key players last week as they disposed of the North Sydney Bears 42-16 at North Sydney Oval while across town, the Dragons kept their very small hopes of finals football alive by holding off the Cronulla Sharks at Henson Park. Shellharbour's victory against the Sharks was all that more remarkable when you take into account they were effectively fielding a 16 man team from kick-off and lost both Michael Lett and Junior Paulo to season ending injuries either side of halftime. Balmain Ryde-Eastwood appear to have bounced back after consecutive losses a month ago to post three on end since and they look set to leapfrog either Canterbury or Newtown into second place on the competition ladder dependant on the outcome of their one versus two match-up on Saturday. There is actually a scenario that could see the Tigers on top of the table by rounds end but it would involve them defeating the Dragons and hoping for a draw between the Jets and the Bulldogs, which wouldn't completely surprise given how close people feel the match will be. Regardless though of the results, the Tigers appear back on track with the likes of Meaney, Bennett and Carr all back from injury at the right time of the year while the Dragons recent resurgence has helped restore some much needed pride in the club but it would appear it has come all too late in regards to finals.
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Vs Newtown Jets
The Crest Stadium, Saturday, August 28
Kick-off: 3.00pm
Referee: Mick Laverty
Broadcast: Triple H 100.1FM (Link available via www.nswrl.com.au's Weekend Game-Cast)
There is little argument this will be the match of the round but given that the Minor Premiership is potentially on the line, some may say this is shaping up as the match of the season. Both of these sides have only lost once each since Round 12 and have deservedly put themselves in the box seat for the top spot come seasons end but with fellow Minor Premiership aspirant Balmain set to potentially relegate the loser here to third, this match is shaping up as one almighty battle. The Jets may be winning but they continue to be the

Petrol prices have just hit $4 per gallon in the US. For us Brits, that's £2.52. I only vaguely remember the heady days when it was that cheap. It was 1994, I had a full head of hair and that other expense – offspring was but a twinkle in my then wandering eye.
So do I feel sorry for the Americans? Not really. I admit they have greater distances to cover than we do. But the argument they don't have viable public transport doesn't really stack up. We don't either; at least none that's affordable without remortgaging.
The main reason I have little sympathy is that whenever I go to the US, there are the same monster pick-ups and big sedans with one person in them stationary in jams.
So, fuel costing 4 bucks obviously isn't getting Americans to change their driving habits. And why should it? It didn't over here. In fact, the trend towards downsizing our cars only really took off a couple of years ago when petrol broke through the magic £5 ($7.94) per gallon mark.
It's a bitter pill. I HATE having politicians dictate that a big car is economically unsustainable for me. But actually there's much to be said for driving a smaller car. It's easier to park and manoeuvre round town. The VW Polo I've got is comfortable and full of the kind of kit you get on bigger motors. It just doesn't cost as much to run.
Of course it's impossible to argue all the pros and cons in a couple of hundred words. But I fear it'll take US fuel prices to double before the Americans get much sympathy from this side of the Atlantic.

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 30, 2012
A new study led by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine indicates that CT scans are more effective than traditional lung cancer detection methods at identifying aggressive lung cancers in their most treatable stages. The data, published online March 27 in the journal Radiology, demonstrate that lung cancers found through annual CT screening are similar to those found in routine practice, both in terms of tumor growth rates and cell-type distribution. In fact, the report showed that 79 percent of the cases diagnosed through annual repeat CT scans were detected at clinical Stage I, the earliest and most treatable stage, compared to only 15 percent detected through traditional methods.
The study, which is the latest report from the International Early Lung Cancer Action Program (I-ELCAP), counters concerns that lung cancers diagnosed through annual repeat rounds of computed tomography (CT) screening may be of less serious varieties than those diagnosed in traditional clinical settings when symptoms are already present.
"We've previously shown that, similar to common screening methods such as mammography for breast cancer, annual CT scans are effective in early detection of lung cancer. However, there were concerns that the cancer found in these screenings were less serious than those found in routine practice in the clinical setting, and often resulted in excessive treatment," said Claudia I. Henschke, PhD, MD, Professor of Radiology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and I-ELCAP principal investigator. "However, the data show that lung cancers detected with annual repeat rounds of CT scans are just as lethal and require equally aggressive treatment."
I-ELCAP is an international collaborative group of more than 60 participating institutes consisting of experts on lung cancer related diseases. Previous research from the group found that lung cancers detected through CT screening have an 80 percent cure rate compared to a 10 percent cure rate for lung cancers detected in the clinical setting.
"Lung cancer is by far the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women. However, when lung cancer is caught in an early, treatable stage, the cure rates are significantly higher," said Dr. Henschke. "It is recommended that people at high risk for lung cancer speak with their health care provider to discuss the benefits and risks of screening in order to make an informed decision about enrolling in a screening program."
Lung cancer accounts for more annual deaths than colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2012, approximately 226,160 new cases of lung cancer will be diagnosed in the United States and 160,340 Americans will die from the disease.
For this study, the researchers reviewed pooled results from the I-ELCAP database for 1993 to 2009, consisting of men and women at risk for lung cancer who underwent annual repeat rounds of CT screening. Researchers found 111 cases of lung cancer, 90 of which were non-small-cell cancers. Out of the 111 cases, 79 percent were clinical Stage I, the earliest and most treatable stage. Non-small-cell lung cancer is the most common form of lung cancer.
The researchers then compared their findings to a 2008 study published in the Journal of Thoracic Oncology analyzing the growth rates of non-small-cell lung cancers detected through traditional methods. The 2008 study found that only about 15 percent of those cancers were discovered in Stage I.
The researchers also found that while the first round of CT screening detected a higher proportion of slower-growing cancers than those detected in clinical practice, the subsequent annual repeat rounds of screening reflected what is found in clinical practice.
The investigators then analyzed volume doubling time – or growth rate – and cell-type distribution of the cancers. The mean volume doubling time for all cases was 136 days. Volume doubling times for lung cancers diagnosed in clinical practice ranged from 20 to 360 days. For the 90 non-small-cell cancers, mean volume doubling time was 154 days compared to 135 days in the 2008 study.
When researchers evaluated the cell-types of the cancers, they found the frequencies of small-cell carcinoma, which usually develops in the central areas of the lung, and adenocarcinoma, usually located on the outer surface of the lungs, to be approximately 19 percent and 50 percent, respectively. In the 2008 study these frequencies were nearly identical, at 20 percent and 50 percent.
In addition, the researchers found that 89 percent of the cancers that manifested as solid nodules had significantly faster volume doubling times than the sub-solid nodule cancers and may need a less aggressive diagnosis and treatment approach. The researchers defined cancerous nodules as solid if they obscured all of the lung tissue and sub-solid if they did not.
"Identifying the varying growth rates for specific lesion types should allow us to create a more tailored treatment for the patient," said Dr. Henschke.

Authority, Down Cali Girl :) Collection Next Door Giving Large!.
New to dfw production ending to have fun with the dfw selectors Cute, passed, show, and kinky Asian individually to play!.
Bad ass yella issue nice body round ass big appeals Hi, I'm GINA here to please you not find.
Make it all about the birthday boy. Show your guy that today is all about him. Cook him dinner naked, or just prance around in your birthday suit while he waits in bed for you to seduce him. No matter what you actually do, let him know that you just want to please him. Don't worry, he'll be dying to reciprocate when your b-day rolls around. Get him an escort. Reserve a room for the two of you and get there first, all dressed up like a, erm, classy lady of the night.
Get a sexy wig that's a totally different color and Birthday present nude from your own hair and wear the skimpiest nude Birthday present you can find—the idea is to really transform yourself into a completely different woman. When he finds you in the room at the time you designate, he'll be shocked to find who appears to be another chick in your place and the two of you will soon be having hot, you-look-like-a-stranger sex. Advertisement - Continue Reading Below 3. Delve into a more taboo act, like anal sexthat you've never experienced together.
You'll both get to step out of your routine and make the birthday super memorable. Of course, remember to take the necessary steps to prepare for anal play— lube galore —you don't want your adventure to turn into a painful or messy disaster. A few days or weeks before your guy's birthday, find out what scenario, fantasyor position he's been wanting to try. Take copious mental notes, and then make one of his fantasies or even part of his fantasy come true.
If he doesn't really give you a straight answer, try a more general male fantasy: You could give him a surprise strip tease, a full body erotic massage, have sex somewhere new, make an adult film to enjoy together, or carefully spread a piece of birthday cake over your naked body and let him eat it off of you! To make the night really amazing, you can implement a "No Sex Rule" for an entire week prior to his birthday.
The sexual tension and anticipation that will be built up will make the sex explosive that night. Surprise him with oral sex. Right when he walks in the door, pull down his pants and start his engine. Because guys can more often the ones to initiate sex, your man's birthday is a great time to take the lead. Give him a sex present.
Remember when you used to get toys for your birthday? Well, getting sex toys as an adult is even better. Because, seriously, what guy wouldn't appreciate you giving him the gift of orgasms?

Low tide traps workhorse fire boat beneath Winthrop pier
'Sentinel' could be totaled
WINTHROP, Mass. —
A former U.S. Coast Guard boat that escorted Old Ironsides across Boston Harbor and survived blizzards and nor'easters may have been done in by an extremely low tide.
Chief Paul E. Flanagan told The Boston Herald that the 32-foot Winthrop Fire Boat "Sentinel" could be totaled. He said the low tide overnight trapped the Sentinel under the town pier, flooding its engine with corrosive salt water.
He said a passerby saw the Sentinel resting on mud Sunday morning.
The Sentinel was dislodged, pumped out and is back afloat.
Flanagan said the Sentinel participated in search-and-rescue efforts and Massachusetts Port Authority drills. It also was available for use by Homeland Security and Logan International Airport.

Day four of the 2014 Dakar Rally saw some interesting events, as riders competed on machines that they had to prep themselves the night before, as a part of the first "marathon" stage. Racing over 353 km in Argentina, between San Juan and Chilecito, for Stage Four, riders had another tough day of racing, though favorite Cyril Despres had arguably the worst of it.
Just 9 km from the finish line, and likely to take the outright lead in the process, Despres' Yamaha YZ450F Rally encountered an electrical short, which caused the race bike to stop working. The mechanical would cost Despres 40 minutes in time, and drop him down to sixth overall, 41 minutes behind Dakar leader Joan Barreda.
Barreda too though would have a tough outing, crashing and losing time to a very fast Marc Coma, who finished third for the day. Coma and his KTM now sit only three minutes and ten seconds behind Barreda and his Honda for the outright lead.
Winning the stage was Spain's Juan Pedrero, with Chaleco Lopez finishing second, only 29 seconds back.

NEW YORK (AP) — Police say a man accused with his girlfriend of keeping bomb-making materials in their Greenwich Village apartment had told acquaintances he planned to blow up the Washington Square Park arch
Police spokesman Paul Browne said the acquaintances told investigators they saw Aaron Greene sprinkle a white powder in the park and then ignite it.
Browne says police believe the powder was HMTD, a bomb-making material they found in the couple's apartment last month.
The new details emerged after police searched the Orangeburg, N.Y. home of Greene's friend. They found 21 guns, brass knuckles, two stun guns and a switchblade knife. Browne said police went there after Greene said he had given some of his weapons to the man.
Greene's lawyer did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

Prabha is a 30 year-old East Indian woman who we began treating two years
ago for asthma. Lycopodium helped her significantly with her asthma. She came
in last spring with hay fever of a two week duration.
It normally lasted all spring, until mid or late summer. She would wake in the
morning with a dry cough, congestion in the upper lungs, and slight wheezing.
During the day, she complained of terrible itching in the ears and eustachian
tubes, and some itching in the throat, nose, and, to a lesser degree, the eyes.
She had occasional sneezing, runny nose, and dry eyes. The symptoms lasted
throughout the day and were better when she was indoors.
Erik is a 29 year-old man, born in Norway, also suffering from spring hay
fever since the age of 5. It was usually worse in the summer, however this year
it was bothering him terribly in late March, prompting him to come in to see us
for the first time. He reported his symptoms as follows.
His main problem was frequent, violent, paroxysmal sneezing, which occurred in
spurts. He had a watery, runny nose, causing him to "run around with a
handkerchief all the time". The skin under his nose was red and sore. His eyes
were itchy, dry, and irritated. There was no lachyrmation.
His nose was stuffy, whether he was indoors or out. His forehead itched.
With the hay fever, he found himself lethargic and had slept ten hours the
night before. This was extremely unusual for him since he was generally a very
high energy person. Since the hay fever began, he as irritable and felt
victimized by his acute illness. He had a strong desire recently for carrot
Todd, a 26 year-old computer program, was assured by another of my
patients that homeopathy could help him with his hay fever. He came in late
April of this year, like the two patients described above, in extreme
discomfort. He lamented, "I'm allergic to everything that's not food!" His nose
ran all of the time. He was using half a box of tissues per day. His eyes were
itchy, puffy, and watery. He suffered from a post nasal drip precipitating a
sore throat. His sinuses sometimes swelled with the hay fever, causing a
pressing headache. His symptoms were definitely worse outdoors. He was
generally tired and wiped out with the hay fever. In the past it had lasted on
and off for four months. This time he came in after only a few days, however it
was his worst bout ever. He reported that he had "tried everything" orthodox
medicine had to offer him.
Marilyn is a 40 year-old artist. We have treated her successfully over the
past two years for her insomnia and mood swings, first with Arsenicum
album, then Sepia, as well as for several acute illnesses. She came
in last July, complaining of fits of sneezing, worse on waking, and a runny
nose. However, what bothered her most about the hay fever, was annoying itching
of the soft palate, and less so, of the eyes.

A festive Homecoming celebration in front of a Henderson Community Stadium overflow crowd with great weather and a fireworks display seemingly would have helped provide the Hood River Valley Eagles football team with enough inspiration and an emotional lift that they would need to pull out a victory last Friday.
There certainly wasn't any lack of enthusiasm from the huge crowd which did its best with vocal support while loudly cheering to help inspire the Eagles to play with the high intensity level needed in order to possibly beat a tough Summit Storm squad. HRV, guided by coach Caleb Sperry, was in position to get a win, too, until midway through the final quarter, when Summit scored on consecutive possessions en route to a 28-16 Class 5A nonleague win.
"It's definitely very disappointing to lose the homecoming game," said Sperry. "We got outplayed and outcoached and I'll need to do a better job in that regard. We'll study films, regroup and come back next week and hopefully play up to our potential."
Both squads played solid defense in a scoreless opening quarter in which neither team scored on two offensive possessions. Summit (4-1), of the Intermountain Conference, took an initial advantage when sophomore tailback J.T. Evans (248 yards rushing) scored on a 3-yard touchdown scamper and the PAT by Cole Thomas made it 7-0 with 7:25 left in the second quarter.
HRV responded when junior Parker Young helped spark the offense as he returned the Storm kickoff 34 yards to the Eagles' own 48-yard line. A five play, 48-yard drive highlighted by a 29-yard run by senior running back/cornerback Gabi Nuno (18 carries, 136 yards rushing) stalled at Summit's 4-yard line. Senior placekicker Erik Gutierrez booted a 20-yard field goal, making it 7-3 with 5:04 left in the quarter.
"We're going to have to work hard in practice and come out and have a stronger effort in our next game at home against Pendleton (Oct. 7) and hopefully bounce back and get a win," said Gutierrez, a rarely seen two-sport fall athlete who also plays on HRV's soccer team. "It's kind of tough playing two fall sports, because I practice for a combined total of about three hours a day with both teams, but I'm having lots of fun, too."
Summit quickly extended the lead on its ensuing possession with 70-yard scoring drive to make it 14-3 with 3:25 left until halftime. The Eagles followed with a three and out series and HRV's Andrew Thompson punted the ball to the Storm, which took control at its own 47.
Summit was on the move again with the clock winding down and had a first-down play at the HRV 28. Nuno then intercepted a pass thrown by Storm quarterback Max Lindsay and returned it 48 yards to Summit's 34. Although just seven seconds remained in the quarter, HRV had a chance to narrow the margin.
After an incompletion by Eagle senior quarterback Cody Walker (15-for-28 passing, 161 yards, two TDs), HRV had one more shot at the end zone with :02 on the clock. Junior receiver Kyle Beam (five receptions, 67 yards, TD) grabbed a quick pass from Walker and was on his way toward the end zone, before he was shoved out of bounds at Summit's 9-yard line as time expired with the score remaining 14-3 at the break.
After a spectacular halftime fireworks display, the Eagles came out strong in the second half and battled back while giving themselves two opportunities to narrow the margin to four points on two possessions deep into Storm territory.
The Eagles utilized a strong running attack with ball carriers Nuno and senior Milo Herman (nine carries, 109 yards) plowing through the Storm defense at the outset of the second half. After getting Summit's kickoff and starting at their own 17, six straight running plays by Nuno and Herman moved the Eagles into Storm territory at the 26.
"We need to come back next week and play harder and with a higher intensity level to help us bounce back and get a win," said Herman. "I felt like I did a good job running the ball, but I just wish that I would've done a little more to help our team come up with a win."
The Eagles sure seemed to have the momentum on what appeared to possibly be a game-changing 68-yard drive. After Beam caught an 11-yard pass from Walker, HRV had a first down at Summit's 15 and a potential TD and extra point would've made the score 14-10.
In what was undoubtedly the turning point of the contest, though, Summit regained possession after recovering an HRV fumble and took over at its own 30-yard line. Despite the costly turnover, HRV's defense continued to shine. Led by the quartet of linebackers Eli Fults, Thompson, David Brunk and Luke Ihle, HRV held the Storm to just 19 yards, forcing a punt from their own 49.
HRV took control at its 30 and using a balanced offense of passing and running plays, advanced again on another possible scoring drive into the red zone when Fults snagged an 18-yard reception from Walker at the Summit 20-yard line.
Back-to-back Eagle penalties on a 5-yard delay of game followed by an illegal procedure infraction moved the ball back to the 30. After a failed fourth down conversion, Summit took over on downs. That second opportunity to narrow the margin to 14-10 with a possible score came up short again, though, as it remained 14-3 after a scoreless third quarter.
"We had some scoring opportunities, but we just didn't take advantage of them," said Sperry. "The guys just need to be more mentally focused and they need to do a better job of executing. We'll use the emotional disappointment from this loss to help motivate us to get better and improve."
The Eagles' defense came up big again, holding Summit to just 18 yards and forcing a punt. Summit stymied HRV's offense, though, and after a three-and-out series, Thompson punted from the end zone. The Storm took control near midfield at the HRV 49.
On the very next play from scrimmage, Evans demonstrated his quickness and athleticism with an impressive 49-yard TD scramble to give Summit a 21-3 lead with 7:25 left in the fourth.
The Eagles answered on their next possession with a six-play, 80-yard scoring drive highlighted by Herman's 52-yard scramble. Walker hooked up with Beam for an 8-yard TD strike and a Gutierrez PAT made it 21-10 with 4:33 left in the game.
An onside kick by Gutierrez was recovered by Summit at HRV's 48. Four plays later, Evans scored on a 21-yard run to help the Storm build an insurmountable 28-10 lead with just 3:14 left.
Around the CRC: Hermiston (3-2) was the only Columbia River Conference team that came up victorious Friday. The Bulldogs won 28-24 on the road over Moses Lake, Wash. Mountain View (5-0) won 63-0 over The Dalles-Wahtonka (1-4) and Pendleton (3-2) lost 21-14 on the road to the Ontario Tigers (3-2).
Up Next: The Eagles host the Pendleton Buckaroos at 7 p.m. Friday in a contest that will include the annual Hood River Valley Athletic Hall of Fame Induction ceremony at halftime.
Last year, HRV recorded a 28-0 win Oct. 7 on the road over Pendleton.
"Pendleton is a team we're capable of beating," said a confident-sounding Sperry. "We want to win league and advance to the state playoffs. I really believe we have a good opportunity to accomplish both of those goals."

Summit 0 14 0 14 - 28

Squatina japonica
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Squatina japonica Bleeker, 1858
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|Stelbrink, B., von Rintelen, T., Cliff, G. and Kriwet, J. 2010. Molecular systematics and global phylogeography of angel sharks (genus Squatina). Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 54: 395-404.
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Diagnostic features include pelvic fin tips which do not reach the first dorsal origin, and spines along the midback line. This species like other regional Squatinids are poorly known taxonomically and are often misidentified. See Walsh and Ebert (2007) for recent revision of this genus in the western North Pacific.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Vulnerable A2d+4d ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Walsh, J.H. & Ebert, D.A.
|Valenti, S.V., Gibson, C.G. & Fowler, S.L. (Shark Red List Authority)
The Japanese Angelshark (Squatina japonica) is a medium-sized angel shark found in the Northwest Pacific on the continental shelf to a depth of 300 m from the Sea of Japan to Taiwan, Province of China. It is caught as bycatch in fisheries, which operate down to 300 m, and in particularly large numbers in demersal trawl fisheries. It is not known to be targeted, but is a retained bycatch, with individuals recorded in local fish markets in northern Taiwan, Province of China and Japan, although this species, like other Northwest Pacific angel sharks, has frequently been misidentified. This species' generation period may be between 8-15 years, based on biological information from better known angel sharks. Other angel shark populations (for example Squatina squatina and Squatina guggenheim) have proved particularly vulnerable to trawl and gillnet fishing gear, resulting in significant population depletion because of their low reproductive potential and low potential for re-colonisation. Where population data are available for other angel sharks, declines greater than 80% have been observed in less than three generations within areas where target or bycatch fisheries take place. Although trend data are not available for Japanese Angelshark, there is concern that it has already declined significantly as a result of fisheries, which possibly operate throughout its range. Based on current knowledge of fishing pressure in this region, these trends are likely to continue. This species, however, has a fairly wide geographic and bathymetric range, which may offer some areas of refuge from fisheries. It is therefore assessed as Vulnerable A2d+A4d, based on suspected declines approaching 50%, but it may prove to have been more seriously depleted than this. Further research into this species' abundance, distribution, life-history and population trends is urgently needed.
|Range Description:
|Endemic to the northwest Pacific including the Sea of Japan, along the south eastern Japan coast, Yellow Sea, East China Sea, waters surrounding northern Taiwan, Province of China, and the Taiwan Strait (Shuyuan 1994, Randall and Lim 2000, Compagno et al. 2005a, Walsh and Ebert 2007).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:China; Japan (Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku); Korea, Democratic People's Republic of; Korea, Republic of; Taiwan, Province of China
|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:
Pacific – northwest
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|Population size for this species is unknown. Little data exist due to a total lack of known catch records for this species and confusing taxonomic information used to distinguish individuals of this species from other Northwest Pacific angel sharks (D. Ebert pers. obs. 2007).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Little is known of the habitat of this species, but as it is taken as bycatch in trawl fisheries, it can be assumed to be found over soft substrate on or near the bottom on the continental shelf down to 300 m deep (D. Ebert pers. obs. 2007).
Though life history parameters are unknown, this species is thought to be slow growing and late maturing like other angel sharks. Other species of angel sharks are known to bury themselves in the sediment and ambush their prey. Reproduction is aplacental viviparity. The species may grow up to 150 cm in length (D. Ebert pers. obs. 2007).
Size at maturity in females is reported at 80 cm total length (TL) (Yamada et al. 2007). Size at birth is reported at 22 cm TL (Yamada et al. 2007). They reproduce in spring and summer, with litter sizes of two to ten pups (Yamada et al. 2007).
Feed on fishes, molluscs and crustaceans (Yamada et al. 2007). Research has identified a parasite living in the uterus of females (S. Tanaka pers. comm. 2007).
|Major Threat(s):
This species is apparently taken in large numbers in demersal trawl fisheries and is also likely caught as bycatch in set net and gillnet fisheries throughout large areas of its distribution (Compagno in prep.). It is unknown whether this species is truly targeted by fishing operations, but it is retained and can been found in local fish markets in Taiwan Island and Japan (S. Tanaka and D. Ebert pers.obs. 2007).
The East China Sea and Yellow Seas are intensively exploited, with several stocks declining due to overfishing and pollution (NOAA 2004ab). Heavy fishing mortality has resulted in a shift from an older, traditional fishery based on high-value demersal species to faster-growing, smaller, and lower-value species such as shrimp and cephalopods (NOAA 2004a). The Yellow Sea was once one of the most intensively exploited Large Marine Ecosystems (LME) in the world and is considered severely impacted in terms of overfishing, with destructive fishing practices (NOAA 2004b).
Fishing pressure from trawl vessels is intense off China, despite bans on bottom trawling in various areas. China has the largest number of fishing vessels and fishers in the world with a marine fishing fleet consisting of 279,937 motorized vessels in 2004 (1,996 of which were confined to distant waters), showing little change from 1999 (FAO 2007b). Catches have declined as a result, leading to catches of immature, small-sized and low value organisms (FAO 2007b). In 2004, the most common fishing gear used was the trawl net (in terms of production, trawlers accounted for 47.6% of catches in 2004 (FAO 2007b). Progress is being made in the introduction of ecosystem based management in the Yellow Sea and a fisheries recovery plan requires the cooperative effort of all countries bordering it. The Yellow Sea LME Project will assess fish stocks and establish TACs (NOAA 2004b). In February 2006, the Government of China issued the Programme of Action on Conservation of Living Aquatic Resources of China. This states that by 2010 they aim to reduce the size and power of the motorized marine fishing fleet and the corresponding domestic marine capture catch in China from 220,000 vessels with a total power of 12.7 million kW and catching 13.06 million tonnes marine organisms in 2002, to 192,000 vessels, 11.43 million kW (FAO 2007b). This represents a decline in fishing power of only 10%.
Other angel shark populations (e.g., Squatina californica, S. squatina, S. argentina) have proved particularly vulnerable to fishing pressure due to their low reproductive potential, vulnerability to trawl and gillnet fishing gear and low potential for recolonisation (due to their sedentary habit) (Gaida 1997, ICES 2004, Morey et al. 2006, Vooren and Klippel 2005). Squatina guggenheim and Squatina occulta, which occur in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean, have a triennial reproductive cycle, with a litter size of only two to eight pups. This extended breeding cycle means that they have a very low intrinsic rate of population growth. Consequently, these sharks are generally highly vulnerable to extirpation through bycatch in fisheries that are managed to sustain production of other, more productive, fishes (Musick et al. 2000, C. Vooren pers. comm. 2007).
|Conservation Actions:
No known specific conservation actions exist.
According to the Law of Fisheries of China, bottom trawling is banned within certain areas of Chinese waters (Y. Wang pers. comm. 2007). Bottom trawling is restricted in certain zones and at different times in shallow water. Individual Provinces are responsible for applying national regulations within China. They also can apply their own regulations, on basis of national regulations, but no specific information is available on the areas or timings involved or the effectiveness of enforcement.
Catch levels need to be accurately quantified and monitored. Resolution of the taxonomic issues and identification problems associated with this genus in the northwest and western central Pacific should be a high priority to achieve this (Walsh and Ebert 2007). Management action will most likely be required to reduce bycatch of this species.

Bruno Amsellem started his career as a press photographer in 1997. He works in France and goes abroad on a regular basis. The "Visa pour l'image" festival showed "Les enfants du Noma" in 2006, "Zabbalines, les chiffonniers du Caire" in 2012, and exhibited "Rohingyas une minorité sans voix" in 2014. He exhibited his work on the presidential election for the "Mois de l'image" festival in Ho Chi Minh-Ville, Vietnam, in 2007. The "Centre d'histoire de la résistance et de la déportation" (Center for the History of the Resistance and Deportation) in Lyon exhibited "Voyages pendulaires", an assignment on the migrations of Gypsies between France and Romania in 2010. In addition, his assignments carried out in Cairo, Romania, Pakistan and Burma were published in the national and international press.
He lives in Lyon and works for the daily press and for magazines. Bruno Amsellem has been a member of "Signatures, maison de photographes" since it was created. Bruno Amsellem uses the Fuji X-Pro1 and X-T1 cameras for all his assignments abroad as well as for many assignments covered in France.
Firstly, this equipment is discreet so I can go more unnoticed in the field, especially in risky countries but it also helps me get in touch more easily with the people I capture, as opposed to imposing SLRs. The menus and functions of the X-Pro1 and X-T1 cameras are easy to use, saving a lot of time in the field. The file quality and rendering make it possible to deliver a texture truly reminiscent of silver-based printing when you do exhibition prints – no need to add special filters, the smooth part of images has vanished.
Secondly, the wide range of lenses makes it possible to work in any situation, from landscapes to portraits, from news stories to corporate assignments, with a very high optical quality.
Lastly, although I give my equipment a rough time when I work on assignments abroad, both the camera bodies and lenses have never failed me.
