Opportunities in Anthropology
Academic Opportunities
Senior Thesis
Senior Theses are intended to provide students with an opportunity to do intense research and writing in any area of anthropology under the mentorship of two members of the anthropology faculty. A senior thesis may be based on original research, library research, or a combination of the two, but in any case should build on a student's previous course work in anthropology. It should include a thorough review of relevant previous literature and develop an original argument on the topic. In addition to a written paper, students are expected present their research to the public.
All Senior Theses are considered Mentored Advanced Projects (MAPs), but not all MAPs are Senior Theses. A Senior Thesis requires a distinct application process.
Awards, Grants, Scholarships, and Fellowships
Asrelsky Prize
The Rachael Asrelsky Anthropology Paper Prize is given annually to the author of an outstanding paper written for an anthropology class in honor of Rachael Asrelsky ('89) who died in the Lockerbie bombing while returning from an off-campus program.
Luebben Award
The Ralph Luebben Prize in Anthropology is awarded annually to the graduating senior who best exemplifies the ideal Anthropology student including meritorious scholarly work, breadth in the discipline, field experience, and an anthropological viewpoint on life.
Archaeologist, anthropologist, teacher, scholar—Ralph A. Luebben was the first full-time professor of anthropology at Grinnell College, the first tenured anthropologist on the faculty, the first chair of an autonomous department of anthropology, and the founder of the department's summer archaeological field school. Ralph Luebben's affiliation with Grinnell began in 1957. Ralph Luebben retired from Grinnell College in 1983-84. In honor of Ralph Luebben's many contributions to the department, the Department of Anthropology solicited funds from colleagues and former students and established an endowment fund for the Luebben Prize. Ralph passed away October 19, 2009.
Emeritus Professors' Student Research Fund
The Department of Anthropology honors the legacy of its distinguished Emeritus Professors, D. Douglas Caulkins, Ron Kurtz, and Ralph Luebben through the Anthropology Emeritus Professors' Student Research Fund. These competitive funds are intended to expand current student research opportunities when normal College funds are not available. The funds may be used for research or expenses related to travel to disseminate results of research (such as conference attendance). Applications will be reviewed by the department three times a year. Awards will be disbursed at the beginning of each semester for travel and research incurred during the academic year (up to $500) and one for summer research or travel (up to $1000).
All returning anthropology majors are eligible to apply for funds, pending availability. Students should consult with a member of the department before submission of their proposal regarding the nature of the project and requests for funds. After this consultation, applicants should submit a one page description of their project as well as a detailed budget to Marna Montgomery. When applicable, copies of receipts and/or letter of acceptance to a conference should be submitted to receive funds.

The interest of my laboratory is to understand the role of the cerebellum and basal ganglia in motor function and in movement and neurologic disorders. Of particular interest to us is not only to understand the role of each structure in motor control, but also the manner in which they communicate to coordinate and complement each other. We approach these questions from both basic science and clinical perspectives. We use a combination of techniques, from behavioral studies to optogenetics and electrophysiology (both in vitro and in vivo). Our studies take advantage of normal and transgenic animal models.

This approval was based on two Phase III trials in SJIA patients, aged 219, showing significant improvement in the majority of Ilaris-treated patients(1). Study 1 showed that 84% of patients treated with one subcutaneous dose of Ilaris achieved the primary endpoint of the adapted pediatric American College of Rheumatology 30 (ACR30), compared to 10% achievement of ACR30 for placebo at Day 15(1). In the open-label part of Study 2, 92 of 128 patients attempted corticosteroid tapering. Of those 92 patients, 62% were able to substantially reduce their use of corticosteroids, and 46% completely discontinued corticosteroids(1). In the controlled portion of Study 2, there was a 64% relative reduction in the risk of flare for patients in the Ilaris group as compared to those in the placebo group (hazard ratio of 0.36; 95% CI: 0.17 to 0.75).
"The efficacy of Ilaris, along with its monthly subcutaneous dosing, make it an exciting new option for children who are living with this debilitating disease," said Daniel Lovell, MD, MPH, study investigator and Joseph E. Levinson Professor of Pediatrics at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. "Additionally, the potential to reduce corticosteroid use is particularly beneficial in this patient population given the side effects associated with long-term use of corticosteroids in children."
SJIA affects 5-15 children per 100,000 in the United States,and is the most severe subtype of juvenile idiopathic arthritis(3-5). Although the disease can be life-threatening, treatment options are limited. Corticosteroids are often used to treat symptoms and pain despite their association with potentially serious adverse effects, including Cushing syndrome, growth suppression and osteoporosis(1,6,7).
"In the US, this approval marks the second Ilaris indication for patients living with rare, autoinflammatory conditions," said Timothy Wright, MD, Global Head of Development, Novartis Pharmaceuticals. "We are committed to studying Ilaris in other IL-1 beta mediated inflammatory diseases, including several rare diseases for which treatment options do not currently exist."
About the Pivotal Phase III StudiesStudy 1, a 4-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, involved 84 patients between the ages of 2 and 19 years with active SJIA(1,2). Patients were treated with either a single subcutaneous dose of Ilaris (4 mg/kg, up to 300 mg) (n=43) or placebo (n=41)(1). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving the adapted pediatric American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 30 response criteria and resolution of fever from baseline at Day 15(1). This means that patients had at least a 30% improvement in systemic and arthritic symptoms versus baseline. The study met its primary endpoint.
Study 2, a two-part study, had an open-label, single-arm active treatment in Part I followed by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, event-driven withdrawal design in Part II(1). A total of 177 patients between the ages of 2 and 19 years with active SJIA were enrolled in the study(1). Some of these patients had previously participated in Study 1. In Part I, patients received a subcutaneous dose of Ilaris (4 mg/kg, up to 300 mg) every 4 weeks(1). The primary endpoint of Part I was to assess whether treatment with Ilaris allowed successful tapering of corticosteroids in at least 25% of SJIA patients who entered the study using a corticosteroid.
In Part II of the study, patients were randomized to either continue receiving Ilaris, or to receive placebo every 4 weeks ("placebo-after-Ilaris group"), until a pre-specified number (37) of flare-events ("flares") had occurred(1). The primary endpoint of Part II was to demonstrate that the time to flare was longer with Ilaris than with placebo.
The primary endpoints for Study 1 and Study 2 were all met.
About IlarisIlaris is a selective, fully human, monoclonal antibody that inhibits IL-1 beta, which is an important part of the body's immune system defenses(1). Excessive production of IL-1 beta plays a prominent role in certain inflammatory diseases(8). Ilaris works by neutralizing IL-1 beta for a sustained period of time, therefore inhibiting inflammation(1).
In addition to its approval for SJIA in the US, Ilaris is approved in more than 60 countries, including in the EU, US, Switzerland and Japan for the treatment of Cryopyrin-Associated Periodic Syndromes (CAPS), a rare, lifelong, genetic disorder with debilitating symptoms(1). The approved indication may vary depending upon the individual country.
Important Safety InformationIlaris can cause serious side effects, including increased risk of serious infections. Ilaris can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. Your healthcare provider should:

You should not receive Ilaris if you are allergic to canakinumab or any of the ingredients in Ilaris.
Before receiving Ilaris, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:
Patients should tell their healthcare provider if they are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. It is not known if Ilaris will harm an unborn baby. Patients who become pregnant while receiving Ilaris should tell their healthcare provider right away. Breast-feeding is not recommended during Ilaris therapy.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements. Especially tell your healthcare provider if you take:

Irish Prevail in OT Slugfest
by John Vannie
A valiant goal line stand by Notre Dame's rock-ribbed defense in overtime preserved an emotionally draining 20-13 victory over Stanford. The Irish overcame adversity, much of it self-inflicted, to tie the game with a field goal at the end of regulation despite an injury to quarterback Everett Golson in the final moments. Tommy Rees came on to lead the team to a score on the first overtime possession with a seven yard slant pass to T. J. Jones. The Cardinal then tried to match Notre Dame's touchdown, and it appeared they would be successful when they drove inside the one yard line. After Manti Te'o stuffed Stepfan Taylor on a third down thrust, the senior linebacker and ten of his best friends swarmed Taylor again on fourth down.
The final play was subject to a video review, but the no-touchdown call was upheld as it appeared that Taylor's elbow hit the ground before he was able to extend the ball across the plane. It was also impossible to determine through replay whether the whistle had blown during Taylor's desperate efforts to keep churning toward the goal, but the initial Irish surge clearly had him stopped cold. Notre Dame now moves to 6-0 on the season while the Cardinal drop to 4-2.
As expected, each team's defense dominated for most of the afternoon. Golson fumbled the ball away on Notre Dame's first drive while Stanford's Josh Nunes threw an interception on the next series. Later in the first period, Matthias Farley picked off another errant Nunes pass and returned it to the Cardinal 16. Kyle Brindza's 29 yard field goal gave the Irish a 3-0 after Stanford stopped them cold.
Jordan Williamson tried to answer for the Cardinal, but his short three point attempt was tipped wide of the uprights by Stephon Tuitt. The teams then exchanged punts, but Notre Dame got the worst of the field position. Golson and the Irish were backed to their own ten, and Coach Brian Kelly inexplicably called three consecutive pass plays. The results were predictably disastrous. Golson lost six yards on a scramble and had to throw the ball away before losing the ball in the end zone on a third down sack by Ben Gardner. Chase Thomas pounced on the ball for a Cardinal touchdown.
Notre Dame tried to respond after falling behind for the first time all season. Golson drove the Irish downfield, but a potential touchdown pass was tipped away by a Stanford safety in the end zone. Brindza's field goal attempt never came to pass due to a bad snap, and the Irish remained behind by 7-3 with 1;34 left in the half.
Nunes, who looked very shaky to that point, suddenly caught fire. He hit a string of passes to get the Cardinal into field goal range as the clock ran down,and this time Williamson did not miss. His career long 48-yarder extended Stanford's lead to 10-3 at intermission.
The Irish dominated the third quarter but were frustrated again when Golson fumbled in Cardinal territory. The defense did its job, however, and gave the hosts another shot. Golson hit Theo Riddick on a wheel route to move Notre Dame into the red zone. Two false start penalties on Mike Golic, Jr. seemed to kill the drive as the third quarter ended, but Golson dropped back and threw a perfect 24-yard scoring pass to Tyler Eifert at the pylon for a 10-10 tie.
Stanford responded with a solid drive of its own, overcoming a replay reversal of a 13 yard completion and a holding penalty to move the ball inside the Irish ten. Farley saved the day for the defense that refused to allow a touchdown when he tackled Taylor for a seven yard loss. Williamson's field goal reclaimed the lead for Stanford at 13-10 with 6:12 remaining in the game.
With its unbeaten record on the line, Notre Dame started from the 16 yard line after a short kickoff return. An option pitch to Cierre Wood earned 17 yards, and a subsequent Golson scramble had decidely mixed results. The Cardinal were flagged for a personal foul that gave the Irish a first down, but the blow to the head suffered by Golson forced him to leave the game. Rees took over with the ball at the Stanford 34 and three minutes left. His third down floater to Eifert drew an interference penalty, and two running plays brought about a third and two from the Cardinal five. Riddick was stuffed on a run up the middle, but Brindza came on to drill the game-tying field goal in the driving rain.
Rees hit all three passes in overtime after suffering a first down sack, and Jones made an excellent catch on the touchdown toss when he reached back for a ball thrown slightly behind him. Taylor tried to will his team into the end zone for the tying score, but Te'o and his posse would not yield the final inches he needed.
The game was the fourth straight outing in which the Irish defense did not allow a touchdown, and they have not surrendered a rushing score all season. As it turned out, the team needed every bit of this effort to survive the Cardinal.
Let's review the pregame questions for the keys to the outcome.
Which offensive line will best protect its quarterback? Stanford did a good job overall protecting Nunes, while the Irish were frequently unable to block the Cardinal pass rushers. The lone Cardinal touchdown came on a sack/fumble in the Irish end zone.
Will either team commit a costly turnover? Both teams suffered turnovers in the sloppy conditions. Notre Dame earned three points due to Farley's interception on Nunes, but it gave up one touchdown and frittered away two other scoring chances with a fumble and botched snap on a field goal attempt.
Which team will have greater success in the running game? Like the rest of the game, the rushing stats were relatively even.
Which quarterback will be able to convert in third down situations? Neither Golson nor Nunes were particularly effective, but Rees' third down pass to Riddick in overtime was absolutely critical.
Can either team stop the opponent's tight ends? Ertz had a few nice catches for the Cardinal, but Eifert was the best of the group on this day.
Which special teams will win the battle of field position? Stanford got the better of the exchanges all day in this category, and the poor field position made life difficult for Notre Dame.
Which young secondary will do a better job of preventing the big play? The Irish were better on the back end with Farley and Zeke Motta leading the way. The Cardinal allowed key completions to Riddick and Eifert and committed a costly but obvious interference penalty.
Next up is BYU, but the Irish will need to rest a bit after being taxed to the limit. It may also take a few days for the fans to bring their blood pressure down to the normal range as well.

"What I'm really hoping for is that ASUS is using its experience in building the Transformer lineup and bringing it to market as practice for the release of a truly perfect, x86-based Windows 8 tablet later this year. Give me the form factor of the ARM based Transformer Pad 300/Infinity (along with optional dock), but with the ability to run Windows 8 Pro and I think we may just have the perfect tablet for users who need a notebook for work but want the portability of a tablet."
Thats exactly what i want. I'm without doubt getting a Win8 tablet - The question is which one.
It will also replace my laptop as theres just no need for laptops anymore once Win 8 is out, atleast for the vast majority of people. I finally wont have to have a laptop AND tablet which is a waste of money. Reply
B3an - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkCome to think of it, it would be interesting if theres also Win8 tablets + keyboard docks that have i5 or higher CPU's in them. We all know their will be ARM and Intel x86 designs with near ARM power levels and similar thin form factors. But what about the high end with i5/i7? Like the Samsung Series 7 Slate but with a dock. Obviously the size will be bigger and battery life lower, but if the docks also included a battery then this would also last longer than a typical laptop of the same spec. You'd basically have a i5/i7 laptop with longer battery life and a detachable display. Infact i'm finding it very hard to think of a single scenario where a laptop would actually be better than a Win8 tablet + dock?!... Reply
bleh0 - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkRealistically You would have to settle for ULV Ivy Bridge i3s/Trinity or Atom/Brazos for decent battery life, Even with that you wouldn't be able to make it as thin as a TF300T. Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkHaswell :) Reply
kmmatney - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkI'd still rather have a laptop and a tablet separate. There is no way I can use a 10" screen for everyday work. Reply
marvdmartian - Monday, April 23, 2012 - linkAgreed. Wish someone would come out with a 12" tablet. While not as light or portable as a 10" tablet, these old eyes of mine won't have to have a 12" screen quite so close, to read text, at a decent screen resolution (let's face it, what good is it, to be able to read text, when you have desktop shortcuts the size of golf balls??).
I keep seeing that bendable screen technology breakthroughs are coming closer and closer to reality. To me, the perfect tablet would be one with a flexible screen, that can be folded in half to fit in my back pocket, but unfolded to something in the vicinity of a 13" screen. Sort of like what Sony did, with their split screen tablet...... only without the split screen! Reply
swimtech - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkI hear that too. Lots of us would like just that - an X86 Win8 tablet but there aren't any yet.
I have to say though that the latest Ipad with that magnificent display will actually get the job done now. Asus has a great device there with better coming - but for those who can't (or don't want to...) wait there is a device available - but yeah, it's not Windows. Reply
sigmatau - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkThe "vast majority of people" will find a tablet useless for most things. Not sure what planet you live on. I work tablet? Laughable. A tablet for school? Laughable.
These devices are still for only entertainment. Can you imagine typing notes in class on one of these? Or breaking it out at work and trying to prop it against something? Reply
Souka - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkI, and other IT folk, use an iPad all the time at work...for work...
Ditched the laptop and use iPad for moving around on campus and meetings.
my desktop, or any desktop as I have a virtualized enviroment, works for the real work (planning, making spreadsheets, visio charts, programming, etc). Reply
Naguz - Monday, April 23, 2012 - linkYes, it can be useful *while at work*, but I agree with sigmatau - it is not a work device yet, if you concider that most people either need good excel/calc or writes a lot while at work. tablets can be great @work-devices, but not really workdevices - yet.
But I don't agree with him on the note-taking bit. Several people I know use tablets for notetaking in class - with a full sie BT keyboard. :) In fact, they are much more efficient than me, who tend to alt-tab my way into my mail, facebook, or tablet discussions.
That said, the last thing I'd want is x86Windows on a tablet. It's more than slow enough on my i7 desktop... Reply
Hrel - Monday, April 23, 2012 - linkI wanted to upvote this. But I'm not on reddit:( Reply
hackbod - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - link<quote>Google has even added support for external batteries like the Transformer Pad's in Ice Cream Sandwich</quote>
This isn't true, this is a customization that Asus has done. The power of open source, etc., etc. Reply
sprockkets - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkThat was true of 3.0. You have a source saying it isn't in 4.0? Reply
hackbod - Monday, April 23, 2012 - linkYou can look at the source code if you want to confirm -- for example look at BatteryService.java and see there is nothing there for reporting multiple batteries.
Also I know what stuff we have added to Android in this area, and internal + dock battery is not one of them. :) Reply
XZerg - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkIs there a USB port or not on the tablet itself? I noticed the charger is usb based, correct? If so, can that port be used to connect other devices such as keyboards and usb keys? Reply
Impulses - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkThere's no USB port but you can use a 40 pin to USB adapter, it's like $12 (and took forever to come out after the original TF but it's finally readily available as of a few months ago). Other tablets with a micro USB port still require the use of a special USB OTG cable AFAIK, so neither approach is clearly superior. Reply
haar - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - link
WELCOME to the niche market!... 80000 transformers sold! lol ...where you have to carry two pieces, a keyboard and screen, so that you can transform it into a notebook that should have been...
so how is a tablet with a 10 inch screen+keyboard any better than the 11 inch macbook air with win8 ...do you think would you use a 11 inch screen in a laptop for everyday work?... when you answer that question for yourself, then you will know if this transformert ablet is good for you.
exact how are you going to remove the perception that you are using a "toy"... dont "real" tech geek use "powerful" processors! HUGE screens!, 1337 Ice cream OS's!!!!
transformer infinity? ... it does NOT exist for sale! why list it in a table?... and because it doesn't exist how can the specs be correct...? making an article 10% ad copy in is beneath Anandtech.com or shoud be! Reply
crankerchick - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkIncluding the Infinity in the spec comparison is very helpful for those of us deciding to wait it out. Obviously it is not a available yet and a performance and quality comparison isn't an option yet, but reminding us of the features helps us keep a mental note that there is something more on the horizon so we can decide if what is different spec wise is worth waiting for. The specs are as correct as can be confirmed by what has been released by ASUS. Get over it. Reply
TrackSmart - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkYes, the article was quite informative. I'm researching tablets right now for a relative. The analysis, comparative performance data, and the frank opinion provided in the conclusions were all useful for the decision-making process.
And for Haar (above), many of us would be buying this as a tablet only - without the dock. And for use as a entertainment / media consumption device, rather than for work. The only useless information here is your rude comment. Reply
Souka - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkstick the iPad3 screen onto the Transformer Infinity guts... "Winner" :) Reply
jackka - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linksigh.....
i am neither a fan/hater of apple nor android/asus. i appreciate both sides. having said that, let me try to objectively address your "concerns" even though you do a pretty good job of madly shouting like anti-transformer, apple fanatic.
1. asus had no problem selling any and all transformer prime that it manufactured. they are probably wishing they could manufacture more and faster so they can make even more money. regardless of your take on the transformer's place in the market, asus is making very good money.
yes, the transformer comes in two pieces. and any normal person wanting to carry both pieces would carry them attached, just like carrying a macbook air. the two piece design is supposed to give you the advantage of flexible usage at the cost of less rigidity while attached.
if you are trying to dog on the two piece design, it would make sense to claim that the given design is a bad tradeoff because rigidity is more important than portable flexibility or whatever. but to claim it is bad because you have to carry two pieces around for a "notebook" is just bad logic and an infantile attempt at flaming. you have lost the respect and credibility of any of your logical readers at this point.
2. the transformer with keyboard costs about half the price of a macbook air. that is a pretty concrete advantage to any rational person. not that it would matter anyway because you are comparing two things in different categories. you seem to have trouble understanding the difference in categories.
3. rational people base their purchases on what they need/want and what they are willing to pay for it. perception of whatever is pretty irrelevant. unless you would buy a macbook air because you think it would help you look more like a wannabe artist / hipster. that's pretty ridiculous, right?
4. you can plug your head down a hole and play ostrich, but to the rest of the world the transformer infinity is going to be released in the near future with the known specs. why does it bother you that another product of the same line is coming with some better specs?
as a final note, you should think more about what you write in your future posts, because what you write shows real fast whether you have any kind of logic and critical thinking. Reply
MrSpadge - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkWhat the.. ?!
You don't have to carry both, you've got the flexibility of taking with you only what you need. Neither a pure tablet nor a pure laptop can offer this. how is that hard to understand?
And I don't think it's fit for real work either. But it doesn't have to be, if internet stuff, entertainment, IMs and mails are all you want to do. And Anand already adressed this: give us this form factor with x86 and things might get really interesting.
Listing the Inifinity: Asus has been pretty forward with the specs provided and Anand said it's not available yet. That's perfectly fine and helps to put things into perspective. If "the next big thing" was around you'd want to be told about it, too, instead of spending top $ now on something which might get outdated the next day. Reply
MonkeyPaw - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - link"While every single Transformer released thus far has shipped with 1GB of RAM, the 300 is the first to use 1.5V DDR3-667. The TF Prime used 1.5V DDR2-500, and the Transformer before it used ."
The suspense is killing me! Reply
jjj - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkAlmost there but no SD,glossy screen (assuming) and the dock is still way too expensive especially for a more budget orientated SKU.
Color accuracy is a disaster but that,by now,is to be expected .
That said,why aren't you pointing out any of the drawbacks in the conclusion,always trying to spin it to point out the positive is not what a review should be. Reply
hybrid2d4x4 - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkSame complaints from me here. Either I missed it, but the reviewer didn't even seem to mention/complain about the loss of expandable memory in the form of microSD that the predecessors had. If I were to get a tablet, I'd like to be able to use it as an e-reader as well, and with a glossy screen, it just won't be happening. Hell, just using it for anything in a room with lots of windows is miserable with glossy screens and all the reflections. Reply
sprockkets - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkmicrosd is listed in the specs for all but the infinity, they might have added it later, just read the article Reply
chi23 - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkThis model HAS an microSD card slot. It's mentioned in the reviews on engadget and CNET, and listed as a feature on Asus' own site and in product listings (i.e. Amazon)
As far as to my knowledge ALL Asus Transformer tablets have an microSD slot built right into the tablet (not 100% certain about upcoming Infinity until it's released). This is part of their standard design, and one of the main features that I've been looking for in my next tablet
I jumped on to post just about this, I don't know why Anandtech missed this in their review, their spec comparison chart on the 1st page is misleading. I was surprised because this was the first review I read on the model and immediately noticed the omission in the chart. All the other sites I mentioned confirm it's still there, I hope Anand will update his review. Reply
sprockkets - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkmicrosd is listed in the specs for all but the infinity, they might have added it later, just read the article Reply
metaldood - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkNo mention of MicroSD in review? I see microSD as part of specs everywhere else. Reply
andrewcooke - Sunday, April 22, 2012 - linkshould lower/higher leakage be reversed?
also, will these things run linux at all? Reply
shriganesh - Monday, April 23, 2012 - linkAsus rocks! My original Transformer got ICS 4.0.3 update just a few days back! ICS is great and shuttering is gone! UI is much better and feels smooth! Reply
Netscorer - Monday, April 23, 2012 - linkEven though I like the idea of dockable keyboard, from practicality perspective we would need to wait for Windows 8 tablet for this to take off. I just don't see Android ICS as a serious notebook replacement. Given the rest of the specs, for only $100 more one can get an iPad with vastly better screen, battery life, GPU and other characteristics that actually do matter in tablet. I am not trying to compare ICS with iOS5 here as both have they merits but we should also consider the maturity of the App Market comparing to Google Play and other Android contenders.
Finally, ASUS have yet to prove that it can ship any significant volume of their tablets. I wanted to buy the original Transformer but for two months could not find any stock and then cooled to the idea. I was following the Infinity model again with no stock until new iPad was already on the market. What are the odds that ASUS will suddenly release this model in quantity?
I'm sorry ASUS but for Pad to take off, you would need to price it at no more then $350 (with 32GB of RAM) and a $100 dock. Otherwise no-one outside of the geek community would even consider your tablet as an alternative to iPad. Reply
Naguz - Monday, April 23, 2012 - linkIf only they had included a USB port on the tablet itself - along with a display connector you could connect a VGA adapter to for presentations. Reply
dreddit - Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - linkHey guys are you sure the dimension for the infinity are correct. If so then the Bezel must be much smaller than the primes, by 10mm either side.
The asus web site still has dimensions the same as the prime. I hope it is a smaller form factor but with the same 10.1 ips screen Reply
Lucian Armasu - Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - linkPut a dual core (or quad core next year) Cortex A15 chip at 2 Ghz in it, and with a 2560x1600 resolution at 11.6", and I'll take it. There's no way an x86 device with Windows 8 would be in the same price range. It would probably be closer to $1000 than $500. Reply
slagar - Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - linkLooks like another fine ASUS product.
Absolutely second Anand's comments regarding one of these with Windows 8 later this year. I can't wait to see what happens :)
Thanks for the great info and reviews as always Anandtech! Reply
Anonymous1a - Saturday, August 04, 2012 - linkI absolutely love Asus' product range but the only problem I have with them is that they don't have their own direct store. Although the base models are easily available on the internet, finding a 3G version of the TF300 is like finding a needle in a haystack and the only place I found the needle was ebay and at ridiculously high prices (600+) and considering the fact that two models have already come out after it and the iPad 2 has it's 3G version at 529, this is just wayyy too high, with these vendors exploiting the lack of a direct chain and lack of availability of these products. And there was literally nowhere I could the the Infinity or Prime with LTE anywhere. I wish they would, at least, for a few major markets like USA and UK have their own direct online selling point.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Conversation on A9TV dated January 13th, 2013
ADNAN OKTAR: I seek refuge with Allah from the satan. Surat at-Tawba, verse 32. I have opened the Qur'an and this page came up. Almighty Allah says; "They desire to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths." I seek refuge with Allah from the satan. ""They desire to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths." By shouting out slogans, by shouting and screaming, by knocking down, ripping out and crashing "They desire to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths." They desire to stall the system of the Mahdi. "But" even if men and women unbelievers, men and women hypocrites and all sorts of opposing thoughts detest "Allah refuses to do other than perfect His Light, even though the unbelievers detest it." Almighty Allah says "I will make Islam prevail in the whole World". Almighty Allah says struggle all you want. "It is He who sent His Messenger.." His Mahdi, ".. with guidance" the state of being a Mahdi originates from the word guidance " ..and the Religion of Truth.." with Islam and the Qur'an, ".. to exalt it over every other religion, " over all faiths ".. even though the idolaters detest it." Allah says that He is the One Who sent the Messenger. That is a verse addressing our Prophet (saas). That also refers to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). This is the 33rd verse and as you know in rosary we praise the Names of Allah 33 times. 33rd degree is also the highest rank in Freemasonry. Allah says; ".. fight the polytheists all together as they fight you all together.." He tells us "not to separate". But they are all separated. This was the 36th verse.
Look Almighty Allah says in Surat at-Tawba verse 39; "[If you do not go out to fight, He will punish you with a painful punishment] .. and substitute another people in your place." This [the abjad calculation] gives the date 1979. For instance other countries did not serve Islam, they have abandoned Islam. Islam shined in Turkey. The Messenger of Allah (saas) says that Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will appear in Istanbul, the hadith explains the same fact. In the verse Allah says, I seek refuge with Allah from the satan. " .. and substitute another people in your place." It gives exactly the date 1979. The abjad calculation refers to the date Mahdi will appear. "You will not harm Him in any way." 2010. Even if you scream down the place, no matter what you do, look this gives only one date; 2010. The year 2010 is one of the most vibrant years of Hazrat Mahdi's life. Anyone who likes can look at the verse. "If you do not help him, Allah did help him," 2017. One after the other, there is only one abjad calculation and no more; 2017. Well my brother doesn't this refer to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)? It does openly refer to him. This gives only one number, not two in the abjad calculation, only one and that is 2017. "If you do not help him, Allah did help him." 2017.

shaolin95 - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkSo what...at those sizes, quality of the screen matter more than more pixels..give me a break. Reply
hrrmph - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkMan, how disappointing... there still isn't anyone making a 7" or 8" high-end phablet with 1080P and Micro-SDXC for playing back 1080P videos that you shot on your smartphone.
It looks like the Sony Xperia Z Ultra at 6.4" is as close as we're going to get for now. But, the ZU doesn't have a tool-less removable back cover and battery, hence it is inferior to the state-of-the-art. That is unless you believe Sony's claims that the ZU is waterproof and thus worth the trade-off of not having removables.
Samsung presumably has all of the neccessary technologies available to them, except the water proof stuff, but they went cheap on the Note 8.0 with a low-rez screen, among other things that aren't up to flagship class.
And now Asus tries to slide "yester-decade's" Micro-SDHC slots (instead of Micro-SDXC slots) and low-rez display panels (instead of 1080P panels) past our discerning noses. No sale.
So still waiting... <sigh> Reply
fokka - Thursday, September 05, 2013 - linkafaik just because they call it "sdhc" doesn't mean a 64gb sdxc doesn't work. my nexus one worked fine with said card from sandisk, though it should only support up to 32gb sdhc. Reply
dananski - Wednesday, September 04, 2013 - linkHeh, both these phones beat my Asus netbook hands down. I love the way tech progresses.
I bought a supersize smartphone late last year and was mocked for it for about a week or so, then I started seeing more and more people with them. Now everyone seems to have a Note II or a Galaxy S4 or something that sort of size. I think that's the way the market's going. Good on Asus to put even larger options out there. Reply
Impulses - Friday, September 06, 2013 - linkFrankly, I see the market going in twenty different directions... There's just as many people opting for smaller phones (iPhone, Moto X, One Mini, etc; clearly there's a market for them). Even in the tablet space there's a lot of people opting for 7-8" models over 10" models. I went from a 10" tablet to a 7" Nexus, I'm currently rocking a 4.6" HTC EVO LTE but I really liked the in hand feel of the slightly more compact Moto X (and I'm 5'10" and have fairly long fingers). This notion that there's an ideal size for any mobile device is just bogus... It's like saying everyone should drive an SUV. Reply

2100MHz is THE European standard for UMTS, next to the less important 900MHz. Reply

Pub Crawl: War Room
Updated 12:20 pm, Thursday, March 14, 2013
War Room
Address: 2718 N. St. Mary's St.
Hours: 9 p.m.-2 a.m. Tuesday-Saturday (and special events)
Phone: 210-735-7775
Web: www.warroomsa.com
Noise/cost: High/low
Snapshot: The room at 2718 N. St. Mary's St. has been an essential live-music venue for decades, first as Rick's Place then Rick's Cantina, Wacky's (and Wacky's 2 and 3), Wacky's Deli, Strutters, the Limelight and now War Room. The building has undergone changes, but one thing that hasn't changed much since the Rick's/Wacky's days: a succession of owners has held to an interesting and eclectic booking policy. Historical fact: Wacky was a parrot who spent some time in the original Wacky's.
Who goes there: It's a plain and simple, but comfortable, hang with a spacious patio out front. Still, the people who go to War Room go for the music.
Behind the bar: War Room is a full-service liquor, beer and craft-beer bar with prices ranging from a couple of bucks for Lone Star, Lone Star Light and PBR tall boys up to $10 for Lambic; $3 for well drinks and up to $9 for top-shelf tequila.
Soundtrack: Variety rules. There are DJ and hip-hop nights, the Alamo City Soul Club spinning golden S.A. oldies and other classic discs on the second Friday of each month.
Entertainment Channel
Fun and games: There's a TV next to the bar. An arcade, pool table and classic video games are planned.
The skinny: The 2718 N. St. Mary's St. address has played an important role in live music.

Cinema V
5560 Rue Sherbrooke Ouste,
1 person favorited this theater
Opened on 19th May 1928, the Empress Theatre was taken over by Confederated Amusement in 1959 and was later bought out by United Theatres. It was designed in an Egyptian style (the only one in Canada) by architect Alcide Chausse and the splendid Egyptian interior was the work of interior designer Emmanuel Briffe.
In 1962, the theater stopped showing movies and it became a cabaret called the Royal Follies. In 1968, the theater was plained down and divided along the balcony and became the Cinema V.
In 1974, the theater briefly changed its name to The Home of Blue Movies.
In 1975, the policy changed to repertory and became the Montreal home of the cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show".
Famous Players took over in 1988. Sadly, a fire damaged and closed the theater in 1992 and it never reopened again.
Recent comments (view all 17 comments)
Back in the late '70s, when Cinema V was a going concern run by Ricky Friedman, it was a regular haunt of Montreal's english-speaking, movie-loving community. One day I explored some of the building's hidden corners with the writer Dane Lanken (husband of Anna McGarrigle) for an article we worked on together for the theatre's program. We felt a bit like Howard Carter when he discovered and opened the tomb of King Tut; upstairs in the wings behind the curtains we turned on a dim light to see painted hieroglyphics on the walls (at least those sections that hadn't been covered with acoustic panelling) and a large mask of Tut high on a frieze â€" regrettably smashed through years before to allow for an air exhaust pipe to pass through the wall. Fragments of the plaster mask lay shattered on the floor. I think I still have a copy of a vaudeville program from the 30s that we found tossed with others down a stairwell in the adjoining office and dressing room wing. It was fantastic.
Best of luck with the project.
Well, here I am, reporting back in on the progress of The Empress exactly 4 years later. And what progress has there been? sadly, none whatsoever. Excluding the small office on the ground floor, and a failed attempt at repairing the roof, the theater has sat abandoned, neglected and crumbling all these years. The roof has been leaking and undoubtedly caused further deterioration of the building.
There's been much talk, promises and announcements made in terms of finally reopening the theater, but nothing concrete has happened. The latest news is the Quebec government is refusing to grant ANY funding (it is after all, serving the English community), casting serious doubt about the future of this project. There are currently reports the board of directors are planning on giving up on the project entirely/killing it, and allow the city to re-claim ownership of the building in November.
My prediction is this theater will suffer the same fate as the soon-to-be demolished Seville theater in the coming years, or at best, be converted into private condo housing. It would be nice to be wrong but I'm not optimistic.

(In French)
Unfortunately this is yet another example of more talk and ideas, but no action. Perhaps "day dreaming" is a better word for these latest plans, the only mention of it is in Metro (a free tabloid-like French paper) but nothing in the Montreal Gazette or local TV news stations such as CTV News. When the mainstream media outlets ignore the story, that is not a good sign.
Since I last commented, temporary metal fencing has been placed around most of the building. Either to protect it from vandalism or the danger that pieces of it may fall to the ground as it further decays. Something similar was don with theSeville theatre in its final few years.
Now 2 and half years later…
In December 2011 the building was seized by the city of Montreal, with the ground floor office space emptied and vacated. The building now sits completely abandoned, again. The only activity these days is graffiti artists routinely vandalizing it with spray paint.
An organization called Cinema NDG has proposed a $12 million dollar project that would re-open a 4 screen movie theatre in the building but we won't know if this will go through until December 2013. Until something actually happens, it's just more empty promises and talk…
I'll believe it when it actually happens: http://cultmontreal.com/2013/08/cinema-v-ndg-will-probably-reopen-in-2015/
Well here I am again, a year later, to the day. The December 2013 deadline for financing was missed and now been pushed back to October 2014. My best guess is it will be extended repeatedly throughout the next year or two until Cinema NDG finally forfeits their plans entirely.
Still no activity at the site as of June 2014. It remains boarded up, abandoned and deteriorating. Talk is one thing, action is another.

MYSTERY surrounds the absence of a West Somerset head teacher from his school.
Last Thursday, a letter was sent to parents of the Quantock Academy about its executive head Ian Bradbury.
The academy is made up of Danesfield Academy and St Peter's School in Williton along with Old Cleeve School in Washford.
The letter, from chair of govenors Cerys Randell said the the board wanted to make parents aware that 'Mr Bradbury is currently absent from work'.
No explanation was given regarding his absence and the letter went on to say that for reasons of confidentiality details of individual employees and their circumstances are not discussed.
There has also been no update on the incident at Danesfield on Monday March 3 when it was alleged that a teacher taped up the mouths of pupils.
The teacher concerned was suspended pending an investigation and Mr Bradbury told parents that the matter would be concluded at the 'earliest opportunity'.
One parent who wished to remain anonymous said: "There are a lot of rumours going around about the situation.
"Even though we were sent a letter last week saying Mr Bradbury is 'absent from work', this is very poor as there is no indication as to why he is absent and if and when he will return.
"As a parent with a child at one of the schools, I feel like we should be kept informed more to stop any unnecessary rumours and worries.
"I'm also concerned because Danesfield School is now two teachers down."
West Somerset MP Ian Liddell-Grainger said: "I'm sure Mr Bradbury and the governors are working together to get any issues resolved as quickly as possible.
"We all have the children's best interests at heart and want what is best for them."
Despite asking, an answer was not forthcoming about how long Mr Bradbury had been absent from school but the County Gazette understands it is since before Easter.
While Mr Bradbury is absent, associate headteacher of the academy Dan Perry is overall in charge with Danesfield deputy headteacher Nigel Johnson supporting.

Beliefs about race and ethnicity influence our cultures, politics, and relationships. What is race? What is ethnicity? This group explores those concepts.
Location: Global
Members: 235
Latest Activity: on Sunday
Racism and the effects of ethnocentrism are alive and well in the 21st century. Racism and humanism are incompatible by definition.
The most human, and humane, thing that we can do is acknowledge and support the humanity of people who are different from ourselves. Curiosity about what makes us human, by necessity, includes curiosity about our human ethnic heritage.
We are incredibly enriched by immersing ourselves in a diverse world. We are intellectually and emotionally impoverished when we exclude others who are not our mirror image.
This discussion group includes many topics about race and ethnicity. Feel free to comment to new threads, or resurrect old threads, if any spark your interest.

Last summer's drought will remain in farmers' memories for years. Exactly how long its effects will remain, however, will depend on moisture levels to be recorded in the new year.
If above average moisture levels are not received through the end of 2013 planting, the drought will likely remain in effect, according to Elwynn Taylor, Iowa State University agricultural meteorologist. "We're still going to be at risk of continued drought in a lot of places because soil moisture is less than usual."
For a successful 2013 crop, Taylor estimates that 18 inches of moisture are needed between the fall of 2012 and the end of 2013 spring planting to restore adequate moisture to Midwest fields. Average moisture levels for November through May, however, total only 14 inches.
According to Taylor, there are reasons to expect a prolongation of the drought that began in late 2011 and hit hard in 2012. "We are still going to be at risk in a lot of places to have the drought continue into 2013 because the soil moisture is still less than usual."
On the heels of the 2012 drought, 2013 will begin with many of the same issues and impacts as were observed at the end of 2012, says Brian Fuchs, climatologist with the National Drought Mitigation Center at University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
"The lack of soil moisture will continue throughout much of the region, including areas that received precipitation last fall," Fuchs says. "Deep soil moisture is still lacking."
Through the end of February, drought will persist over the mid-section of the United States and in portions of the Southeast as the winter months are a dry time of year, according to Fuchs. "However, with no strong forcing mechanism in place, it is anticipated that the unseasonably warm and mild winter of 2011-2012 will not be repeated."
For the balance of the current winter, Fuchs anticipates more variability along with more "typical" winter weather. The Midwest and Southeast areas that received some soil moisture recharge last fall are also the areas with the best chance to see continuing improvements, building upon the relief from the fall season.
The areas hardest hit are in Nebraska, Kansas, South Dakota, Oklahoma and Georgia. Many of the areas have only been in drought for the last five to seven months, and most of the observed impacts in 2012 were to agriculture. "However, as the duration of the drought continues, more impacts will develop," Fuchs predicts.
Areas of the southern Plains and southeastern United States that have already been in multi-year drought episodes are going to continue to have water issues develop even in instances where precipitation provides some short-term relief. "Going into 2013, the agricultural impacts are likely to persist while hydrologic impacts related to water supply will start to develop if we don't see any relief," according to Fuchs.

Hugh Jackman misses out on BAFTA
Australian actor, Hugh Jackman, misses out on a Best Actor BAFTA for his role as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables.
Jackman, who was a hit on the red carpet with fans screaming his name to get his attention and a snap, wasn't confident heading into the Royal Opera House in London and with good reason - the bookies had installed Day-Lewis as an unbackable favourite.
But the Sydney-born actor said just being nominated for his turn as Jean Valjean in Les Miserables was a thrill.
"This is just a joy," the 44-year-old said on the red carpet, where he had to compete with an over-zealous fan belting out a tune from the screen musical.
"Any movie musical can go so wrong so easily. The fact we got nine nominations means a lot for us."
Day-Lewis, who won for his performance in Lincoln, accepted the award and poked fun at his own reputation for immersing himself in his characters and his devotion to method acting.
"On the chance I might one day have to speak on an evening such as this I've stayed in character as myself for the last 55 years," Day-Lewis said.
Emmanuelle Riva was named Best Actress for her performance in Amour.
Australian Rick Findlater has missed out on a Best Make-up and Hair BAFTA for his work in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
Lisa Westcott won the award in the category for Les Miserables.
Findlater was nominated alongwith his Hobbit colleagues Peter Swords King and Richard Taylor.
Queensland-born Findlater is up for an Oscar for his work on the Hobbit.
Skyfall has been named Outstanding British Film of the year at the Bafta awards while the show opened with a performance by Paloma Faith of the INXS hit Never Tear Us Apart.
The James Bond film, the third starring Daniel Craig as the suave spy, is already the highest-grossing film of all time at the UK box office.
The BAFTA award was presented by Bradley Cooper and Ben Affleck.
Skyfall director Sam Mendes paid tribute to the "bravery and brilliance" of Craig and "the great" Ian Fleming, who created James Bond.
Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence handed the award for Best Supporting Actor to Christoph Waltz for Django Unchained.
Accepting his award, he said it was an "immense honour" and paid tribute to its "silver-penned" writer.
He said: "Why I get to stand here is really no mystery because it says at the beginning of our film, 'written and directed by Quentin Tarantino'."
Quentin Tarantino picked up the award for his western Django Unchained and thanked his actors for doing a "bang-up job with my dialogue".
The film has attracted criticism for its liberal use of racial insults and Tarantino thanked his backers for standing by what he described as "a hot potato" film.
George Clooney presented the award for Supporting Actress to Les Miserables star Anne Hathaway.
The actress thanked the "golden-hearted group" who made the film and wished her co-star Eddie Redmayne, who is ill, well, saying: "Feel better. I mean I'd be holding your hair back, but, you know ... "
She also thanked Victor Hugo - the writer of the original novel which inspired the musical - saying: "Without whom, none of us would be here."
The award for Best Adapted Screenplay went to David O Russell for Silver Linings Playbook.
The award for Best Short Film went to Swimmer which was made by We Need to Talk About Kevin director Lynne Ramsay.
The Making of Longbird picked up the award for Best Short Animation.
Jacqueline Durran won the award for Costume Design for her work on the Keira Knightley film Anna Karenina.
Lisa Westcott won the award for Best Make-up and Hair for her work on Les Miserables.
Brave, a Disney fantasy set in the Scottish Highlands, was named Best Animated Film.
The awards for Sound and Editing went to Les Miserables and Ben Affleck's Iran hostage crisis drama Argo respectively.
Mark Strong presented the Cinematography award to Claudio Miranda for his work on Life Of Pi which was picked up on his behalf by the film director Ang Lee.
Faith was back on stage with David Morrissey to present the award for Best Original Music to Thomas Newman for Skyfall.
Speaking backstage, the film's director Sam Mendes said he would love to make another Bond film.
"I've had a great time, it's been a huge learning curve and we would want to make a better movie next time around, and if we thought we do that they might let me have another go again," he said.
Lincoln star Sally Field came on stage to present the award for Original Screenplay without her presenting partner Redmayne after he was taken ill backstage.
Field told the audience: "He seems to be puking his guts out back there."
Billy Connolly came on stage to present the award for an Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer.
Joking that he was "presenting an unsuspecting stranger with a deathmask on a stick", the comedian and actor gave the award to Bart Layton and Dimitri Doganis for their documentary The Imposter.
The film tells the true story of Frenchman Frederic Bourdin, who posed as a missing Texan teenager so successfully that he moved in with his family and lived as him for several months.
The next award, for Special Visual Effects, went to the 3D spectacular Life Of Pi.
Trainspotting director Danny Boyle presented the award for Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema to FilmFour boss Tessa Ross, who he described as a "shy genius".
He said: "I can pay her no greater compliment than to say she really is the Paul Scholes of the British film industry."

GUYS who want to improve their chances with the ladies this Valentine's Day should consider palling up with a feline friend to help attract a partner, according to a new survey.
Feline welfare charity Cats Protection found women think cat-loving men possess many qualities they find attractive when looking for love.
The research, which was carried out for Valentine's Day, found six in ten women across the UK think men who own cats are more caring.
And far from being seen as wimpy, cat ownership appears to be a manly quality, as just 27% of women think cat-owning men are soppy.
The research also found that:
• 48% of women think having a cat enhances human relationships.
• 42% of women think men who own cats are more loving and 44% think men who own cats are kinder.
Men (or women) wishing to adopt a cat can visit the charity's website at www.cats.org.uk or call the charity's helpline on 03000 12 12 12 to find out more.
WHAT do you think? Take part in our poll...

A BRIDE-to-be was treated to the ride of her life when she and 15 friends were driven to the Grand National in style for her surprise hen party.
Alex Bentley, from Whitehall in Darwen, said she couldn't believe her eyes when a pink Hummer stretch limousine turned up to collect her and her friends and whisk them off to Aintree.
The 23-year-old outreach worker said her bridesmaids organised everything, leaving her completely at their mercy.
She said: "I didn't know anything about what we would be doing. It was really exciting.
"It was like I had been banished by them all for the last week because nobody spoke to me.
"The limousine was tacky but it was completely perfect for a hen do. We all had rather a lot of prosecco.
"The atmosphere at the races was really good, and I won £30 on a horse.
"You do have to think about the horses, but I don't think any of them were hurt this year, and we were all in the spirit of the moment. I had a fantastic weekend.
"I didn't expect anything, I was just happy everyone was coming."
Alex will be marrying 27-year-old Nick Kirwan in September.

What happened on our most recent Thursday certainly gives outdoors writers months of topics. The following occurred during that day's Wildlife and Fisheries Commission meeting:
- The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, through the commission, confirmed plans to establish its recreational season and daily limits for red snapper in state waters.
Added to that is pushing state waters out to three marine leagues (10.357 miles) for fisheries-related matters, a move that opens more than seven miles of the Gulf of Mexico to recreational anglers.
- LDWF wildlife managers unveiled a plan revamping south Louisiana deer-hunting areas and seasons.
- LDWF fisheries managers proposed changing bass regulations in the Atchafalaya Spillway, the Lake Verret Basin and Lake Fausse Pointe.
- In executive session discussed the ongoing problems with Gov. Bobby Jindal's and the Legislature's raid on the LDWF's Artificial Reed Fund.
Because it's such a bold move, and because of its immediate effect on state, regional and national level, the red snapper issue takes centerstage today.
In short, the new state recreational red snapper season will open the March 23-24 weekend, run Fridays-through-Sundays through the Sept. 27-29 weekend.
It will have two planned four-day seasons on the Memorial Day (May 24-27) and Labor Day (Aug. 30-Sept. 2) weekends with fishermen having three-fish-per-day limit.
That flies in the face of the Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management Council's proposed June 1-27, two-red snapper-per day season.
It brought a stream of comments from proponents, who said the bullheaded stance taken by the Gulf Council left Louisiana no choice but to join Texas as a noncompliant state when it comes to the recreational red snapper take.
By now, it's no big secret about the abundance of red snapper off our coast. In fact, the Gulf Council's data shows the western Gulf of Mexico is as much as eight times more productive than the Gulf's eastern waters.
With Louisiana joining Texas, there's the real possibility that Florida's commission will vote to become noncompliant, too.
During a regional management public hearing in Orange Beach, Ala., last month, Bob Shipp, one of Alabama's Gulf Council reps and the head of the Marine Sciences Department at the University of South Alabama, was quoted in the Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register telling a group of about 100 anglers, "Everybody's frustrated. Council members are frustrated. State managers are frustrated. We may be close to a tipping point. I think if Florida goes noncompliant, the whole Gulf will close because the entire year's allowable catch will come from their state waters. Then I think we'd have to start from scratch and possibly revisit the whole system."
And Louisiana started it.
