Smoking ban for outdoor restaurant seating backed by L.A. City Council committee
The City Council's Arts, Parks, Health and Aging Committee agreed this morning to prohibit smoking within 10 feet of restaurant patios, gardens and decks. "This is a big step forward," said Councilman Tom LaBonge, whose district includes parts of Hollywood, Silver Lake, Koreatown and North Hollywood.
Under the proposed ordinance, any space that is within 30 feet of a food truck also will be defined as an "outdoor dining area." The measure would not apply to nightclubs and bars that require patrons to be 18 or older. Anyone caught breaking the law could face a fine of up to $250, city officials said.
LaBonge, who heads the committee, said he wants a final council vote on the ordinance before the end of this year. He also called for a one-year grace period, during which no enforcement would occur, to allow eating establishments to become informed about the law.
During that period, the city would rely on business groups to translate information on the new law into other languages, city officials said.
The committee had been weighing a plan to allow larger restaurants to create special outdoor smoking areas. But after hearing objections from a representative of Councilman Greig Smith, that provision was removed.

Through the first two rounds of postseason play, Reed has played a familiar foe. It had already faced Douglas and Spanish Springs during the regular season, Spanish Springs just two weeks earlier. However, this week Reed will see a set of uniforms lining up across from it that has not seen in 2012.
Reed (9-3), which earned the High Desert League's top seed this fall, will face a Damonte Ranch team it has not seen since last fall. And that goes beyond the 2012 schedule.
"I'll tell you this much. As crazy as it may sound, we did not see a single play of Damonte, even on film," Reed coach Ernie Howren said. "Not one of our scouts ever crossed over to Damonte."
While the Raiders may not have seen as much film on the Mustangs this fall as other opponents, Howren doesn't expect the DRHS gridders to be an unfamiliar foe.
"We are talking about Week 13 now," Howren said. "We've seen just about everything. We've seen some pretty talented kids and teams this season. As far as offensive and defensive schemes, we've seen them all. I don't think there's much out there that will surprise our kids."
What Reed coaches have learned about Damonte is much what they'd heard before. Mustangs do-everything back Drew Smith is one solid football player. Smith, who was the Mustangs QB last fall, has rushed for 2,034 on 267 carries, an average of 7.62 yards a carry. He's also found the end zone 26 times.
"Everything we've heard about Drew is true," Howren said. "He's an excellent football player. He see's the field really well. He has the speed to take it all the way. He has the ability to break tackles. He's a very dynamic football player.
"We'd be crazy not to focus on a guy that's been the focal point of their offense. You have to base your defensive game plan around stopping Drew."
Not many people expected Damonte to be in this situation. The Mustangs were a mediocre 4-5 in the regular season, but they upset Reno on the road and McQueen at home during the first two rounds of the playoffs.
"We've been playing better," said first-year Damonte Ranch coach Shawn Dupris, who had coached at Las Vegas' Bonanza High the previous six years.. "We've definitely had to change things up to be in this spot. Being here comes from our hard work, belief in our players and coaches.
"The biggest thing is we've cleaned up our penalties and turnovers. If you go back to league, we were giving up 100 yards a game in penalties and turning the ball over. We've cut those two things out and given ourselves a chance. I don't want to say I didn't think we'd be in this position because you always think you can win."
While Damonte did beat Reno and McQueen the past two weeks, Reed also dispatched both of those schools this year and the Raiders have earned the favorite tag after dominating northern Nevada football for nearly a decade.
"Reed is obviously a very talented football team and a great program," Dupris said. "Those guys are well coached with a real nice QB who is surrounded with nice athletes. Their offensive line is doing a great job. Their running back is good. Their defense gets a lot of guys to the ball. The thing that separates Reed, is it just doesn't make a lot of mistakes."
It's hard to argue that. Reed thrives on making fewer mistakes than its opponents and limiting big plays. That likely goes back to the Raiders ability to build on a winning tradition and then still find a new identity each year.
"I keep going back to it and I may sound like a broken record, but it's Week 13," Howren said. "We may have had some new kids starting this season out but they're veterans now. We've been playing for 13 weeks. We told the kids at the beginning of the year, 'nobody cares if you won a region or went on to state. You need to carve out your own path as a team. That's what these kids have done. They've been working very hard to create their own way of getting into a championship game.
"Here we are again. These kids have put themselves in this position. I'm very proud of them. Obviously, we want to keep going farther."
Dupris and the Damonte crew would like to keep that from happening. The Mustangs' coach said his team must limit Reed's big-play ability if it wants to stay in contention on game night.
"We can't give up the big play," he said. "We must make them drive the ball and go the length of the field. On our side, we've got to control the ball and not give them turnovers. When we've done that for four quarters this year, we've come out on top."

Step 1: Safety First & Disclaimer
There is some safety precautions that you have to take when refilling your disposable propane cylinders and you will need to handle it properly and observe all the best-practice safety protocols.
#1 Always do the refill process outside.
#2 Never smoke during the entire process.
#3 Be sure there is no open flame in the area.
#4 Wear safety glasses and protection gloves for added safety.
Again, I am not responsible for any accident that can happen when you refill your own disposable propane tank.
Step 2: What you will need
Link for Ebay: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1313&_nkw=propane+refill&_sacat=See-All-Categories
Link For Cabela's : http://www.cabelas.com/prod-1/0013259512325a.shtml
You will also need a standard propane tank at least 50% full, empty disposable cylinder, a kitchen scale an a notepad to keep track of the weight of your cylinders. For added safety I also recommend safety glasses and gloves (not show on the picture)
#1 Do not, under any circumstances, a cylinder to 100 %! Propane has a high temperature/volume expansion rate. Too full when cold means it pops off when it goes hydrstatic (liquid full @ high pressure). 85% MAXIMUM!!!
#2 propane expands at a ratio of 1 to 270 when it goes from a liquid to vapor. Stack up 270 of those little cylinders in your trunk behind where your kids ride in the car on a good hot day.
#3 There is a technical explanation as to why you find half full 1# cylinders in the forest, I mean besides the fact they are wasteful litterbug jerks.
It goes like this, If you know the physical properties of propane, you know that propane appliances burn propane vapor. At atmospheric pressure propane is a vapor. At -44 degrees it is a "0" pressure liquid. Pressurize propane in a tank and you can keep it liquid at higher temperatures. Think thermodynamics. Small tanks, small volume, gas cools in cylinder faster, chills gas to -44, no vapor, no burn. No burn, must be out of gas, throw away 1/2 full tank. (yes, I've seen it! Over and over!)
Big tank, big volume,gas cools slower, doesn't get to -44, burn hotter longer
Better yet, just don't do it. state an federal agencies do'nt write rules to "big Brother" us. They may seem misguided sometimes but they really want us tobe safe
I always think of compressed gasses as the perfect vehicle for a Darwin moment. That I survived adolescence (OK, young adulthood, too - I'm a slow learner. ) was purely due to my good fortune. But passing laws against being stupid is just wasting your time.
The small, disposable cylinders are handy for picnics and camp-outs, but if one wants to do some serious cooking, an 11-pound or 20-pound cylinder is a better choice, since their larger surface area makes them less likely to chill to the point of freezing.
Gasses expand with temperature.
If Nit-wit fills a tank's total volume with liquid gas under pressure, there's no room for it to expand.
Tank bursts.
As Nit-wit uses the gas in the cylinder quickly, more liquid evaporates cooling the rest of the liquid because of the same physics air conditioners work on.
The rest of the liquid gets so cold that it won't evaporate any more.
Nit-wit discards half full cylinder.
Half full tank has time to warm up again.
Smart guy picks up half full cylinder.
Litter Bad.
Free Propane Good.
This is a dangerous thing to do. There is a good reason that these cylinders are not rated for refilling. They are designed for 1 use, but are over spec'd for safety. It's that safety margin that you are playing with.
Have you ever seen the sort of explosion and the devastation that one of these can cause, it can easily kill.
So if you're going to refill, then having more info is very valuable. It could save your life. So if you do not understand the info passed on here, do not refill any cylinders. Or, rather do, and rid the gene pool of yourself.
Jaykaying, Johnsned51, jkjk...
I actually learned something. Thank you.
Harbor Freight Tools sells the necessary adapter.
Cleanweld Products, Inc. sold their Turner division to Cooper Industries in 1984 and the product line was folded into Cooper Tools in Raleigh, North Carolina. Sadly, their refill adapter and refillable propane cylinder disappeared from the market not long after that. I've attached a photo of my Cleanweld Turner refillable cylinder and adapter for your enjoyment, purchased sometime around 1981-1982.
just to give you an idea there was a house near mine that exploded because the basement filled with propane gas, they didn't find a single piece of the house bigger than a foot in the mile radius that the debris fell. nor did they find any of the remains of the 3 people in the house bigger than the same size. the amount of liquid propane filling a tenth of that container could fill the same basement 20 times over. to add to this you are putting stress on the valves by putting liquid propane through it, it will fail eventually.
Hook up a full tank (under high pressure) to an empty tank (under less pressure relative to the full one) and open the valve between them and the pressures will equalize. Some of the contents of the full tank are forced into the empty one until the pressures are equal. Close the valve and disconnect. Done.
If one wanted to go overboard they could use a vacuum pump on the empty tank first. But that may cause it to overfill, who knows.
one word of advice if you are going to use the propane trees ..
You do not want to leave propane pressurized in the rubber hose. It will cause the rubber to release an oil that will gunk up you propane devices. When you are done using the propane shut the tank off first and let the device burn off the propane that is in the hose. Once the flame goes out it is safe to turn the device control knob to the off position
Wall*Mart $20
yes you have to have some extension hoses too, I think refilling partial mini tanks is a pain too. you have to weigh the difference in your situation. Everything about camping is a pain except the relaxing by the fire lol
Refilling small cylinders at home makes more sense for some.
The valve may have been used to bleed air on the first factory fill.
But as you use the original fill, propane gas exits only. No air enters the tank.
The "air" in the tank is simply leftover Propane gas at a pressure of approx 1 atmosphere.
To vent this gas is wasteful and you run the risk of overfilling the cylinder too.
What happens then? As the temperature rises the pressure valve releases the extra, wasting more gas.
Ozone near the ground is called smog.
Ozone is not produced by releasing or burning Propane/LNG.
Ozone is not a greenhouse gas.
Global warming is a political hoax.
Propane is not considered a greenhouse gas.
And my addition: Propane occurs naturally in the atmosphere, I believe, much like methane, which is a greenhouse gas.
Propane Liquid
Propane exists in its liquid form at or below its boiling point (-44°F) as well as when it stored under pressure. To further explain, if the temperature outside is -45°F, propane will be a liquid and you would be able to pour it out of a bucket. But as soon as the temperature rises to -44°F, the propane begins to boil and thus give off vapor. If the temperature outside is colder than -44°F, propane exists as a liquid. It's still propane but it looks a lot like water while at this cold temperature. It's colorless, odorless and tasteless...but who would take a drink of a any liquid that is 45 degrees below zero? Who would stick their finger in a glass of anything that is 45 degrees below zero? Holding a handful of ice can be quite uncomfortable (or painful) after some time but think how painful it would be if that handful of ice was almost 75 degrees colder.
Because propane boils at a temperature that is over 70 degrees lower than the freezing point of water, it has the ability to freeze skin tissue in a very short period of time (severe frostbite). The temperature properties of liquid propane are such that being aware of possible danger when dealing with propane in its liquid state is extremely important.
Propane Vapor
Propane becomes a vapor at temperatures above -44°F. Similar to water when it boils and gives off steam, propane gives off vapor when it boils. One may refer to propane vapor as "flammable steam" for simplicity. However, for the propane vapor to be ignited, there must be the right mix of air and vapor. Propane vapor is heavier than air and will sink to and collect in the lowest point it can find. If propane is vented to the outside air, it will quickly dissipate with the slightest movement of air. Conversely, if propane is vented into an air tight structure with no air movement, the propane vapor will collect on the floor and rise vertically if more propane is vented into the structure.
This is extremely important to know because if there is a propane leak in a house or building, the propane vapor will seek the lowest possible point where it will collect. Keep in mind that one gallon of propane will produce over 36 cubic feet of vapor and this vapor will settle in the lowest possible place. If the propane vapor level continues to rise, it may ignite if finds a source of ignition. The weight of propane vapor being heavier than that of air is a characteristic of propane gas that needs to be understood by all LP Gas users, not just propane companies and their employees.
so this means it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE in temperatures above -44*f to just "spill" propane. it would evaporate either before OR upon hitting the ground. Propane IS toxic, IS caustic, and DOES pollute (touche though on one point that it is less pollutant by much more than gasoline, but it is still a pollutant), will freeze ANYTHING it touches. THIS DOESNT COUNT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF AN ACCIDENTAL SPARK WERE TO COME DOWN ON THE PROPANE!!!
Another thing to note...propane expands to 270X its original volume from a liquid. so you would see a considerable explosion/fireball if you were to ignite it. even hinting that propane is not dangerous is wrong and irresponsible.
follow the rules and play it safe and go easy and you'll be alright
the only reason i wont do this is because i'm pretty lazy
Weighing the small cylinder helped to determine how much propane went into it---only about half its rated capacity, despite chilling it.
As others have noted, the Schrader valve on the little cylinder could be opened during filling, and that would allow more liquid propane to fill the small tank. It's awkward to open the Schrader valve, though, since it needs to be pulled out, rather than pushed in, to vent propane vapor, which would allow enough liquid propane for a complete fill.
For filling paintball canisters with CO2, a big tank with a siphon tube was used, so that liquid CO2 came out the valve---not just vapor. Inverting the 20lb propane tank produced the same effect of dispensing liquid, not gas vapor, but the little tank still needs to be vented, it seems, to allow for a full liquid fill, to the small cylinder's rated 1 lb. capacity.
With CO2, it's possible to arrange a couple of valves that can be opened/closed in sequence, to purge the vapor, and allow liquid fill, but with the brass adapters sold to refill disposable propane cylinders, there's no similar venting /purging option, other than opening the Schrader valve during filling.

There goes Washington again, looking for fraud in all the wrong places.
The top federal law enforcement official, Eric Holder, promised Thursday to crack down energy market manipulation. The attorney general warned that "if illegal conduct is responsible for increasing gas prices, state and federal authorities should take swift action."
That's laudable. The problem is that there is no reason to believe illegal conduct is what's driving up gas prices.
In a world of loose money, endless Chinese commodity demand and falling Saudi oil production, prices are going to rise even if everyone is behaving admirably.
Even more galling, Holder is taking this empty stand at a time when the government continues to ignore more glaring frauds. Three years after the meltdown, the number of meaningful financial crisis prosecutions is, like the Federal Reserve's key lending rate, near zero.
This is not to dispute that speculators are all over the oil futures lately. Wall Street is happy to rip Main Street's face off for the sake of making a buck in any market, and this one is no different.
But facilitating speculation is now official policy, thanks to Ben Bernanke, and you can hardly go sending people to jail for that alone. And when it comes to fixing the market, even Holder admits he hasn't seen evidence that's happening.
Of course, only a fool would claim there could never be any oil manipulation. Who knows, maybe the feds will crack some big trading ring. That has happened before.
But recall the outcome when the previous administration made a similarly principled decision in 2008 to crack down on oil fraud. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission charged one Dutch firm, Optiver, with trying to "bully the market" to the tune of a, ahem, $1 million profit.
That sort of bullying is not going to get you very far in a market in which open interest Thursday was valued at $328 billion.
Meanwhile, off in plain view on their various yachts and Connecticut mansions and tanning beds, we have a bunch of guys named Dick and Kerry and Angelo who just happened to walk off with eight- and nine-digit hauls while their shareholders got wiped out. Building financial cases is hard, yes, but is it really that hard?
You don't have to be all that swift to see the difference politically, however. No one is going to get thrown out of office for failing to prosecute the guys who got rich before they drove Countrywide or Washington Mutual or Lehman Brothers into the ground. Mistakes, everyone can agree, were made. Can't we just move on?
But Holder's crusade against energy schemers comes as the average national gasoline price hits $3.84. That is a number that is apt to prompt millions of cash-strapped Americans to vote for the other guy, whoever it might be. And you can't have that.
"We will be vigilant in monitoring the oil and gas markets for any wrongdoing so that consumers can be confident they are not paying higher prices as a result of illegal activity," Holder said. Someday it would be nice to see some vigilance when the political angle wasn't so obvious.

On June 15th, fifty years after the last visit of a sitting president (John F. Kennedy) to the Island, President Barack Obama made a historic but timely visit to Puerto Rico. If the President of the United States of America believes Puerto Rico deserves his attention and that Puerto Rico has the promise of economic opportunity and health for its citizenry, why has U.S.-based philanthropy, and HIV/AIDS philanthropy been slow to do the same? President Obama noted in his remarks, "… I promised to include Puerto Rico not just on my itinerary, but also in my vision of where our country needs to go." Will public health and leaders in health philanthropy demonstrate the same commitment?

Many gyms offer advanced fitness equipment, motivating programs and classes, and a host of amenities. But unlike many conventional gyms, Lady of America Greenbrook caters specifically to women. In spacious, comfortable workout rooms, resistance machines are custom-fit to women's smaller frames. Trained staff plays with kids 6 months and older in the childcare area, which features health-focused activities as well as a PlayStation 2. The team also offers services such as nutrition counseling with certified sports nutritionists and one-on-one workouts with certified personal trainers. Additionally, fitness evaluations—which come free with every membership—are designed with women's needs and concerns in mind.
In the gym, free weights build muscle, and recumbent bikes and elliptical machines boost endurance enough to outlast a dolphin or a submarine painted like a dolphin in a swimming contest. The advanced Precor model 956 treadmills' impact-absorbing system saves joints while an active cardio monitor allows users to literally follow the dictates of their hearts. Instructors provide motivation in group classes such as ball Pilates, fitness yoga, spin, and Zumba. And the therapeutic heat of the infrared sauna allows for a nice post-workout relaxation session.
A good gym often resembles a forest, with canopies of crossing metal bars, pulleys, and weights. Snap Fitness boasts a few more jungle-like attributes than most, with a stretch of green turf floor ideal for sprinting and dragging exercises. Clients shed sweat throughout the gym, aided by personal trainers who stop by to provide bits of advice or hour-long sessions of one-on-one attention. Once they've learned to use the weight equipment properly, members can head to the cardio theater for and jog or cycle while watching a favorite show.
With hundreds of locations throughout the world, Fitness Together contours the global musclescape one individual at a time with customized workouts. Beginning with a body consultation and assessment, clients are classified into different training zones leading to goal-specific programs that help them reach their true fitness potential. During the 45-minute sweat sessions, a trained muscle tutor supervises squats to ensure muscles are properly stretched and showered in both praise and post-perspiring soap. The one-on-one attention allows the trainer to fine-tune movements, tone trouble zones, and push students to keep going when they'd otherwise quit or become distracted by the fragile beauty of a passing hummingbird.
CrossFit 908 is a group training facility focused on high intensity functional workouts. All workouts are performed in a motivated, friendly group setting, helping members to reach fitness goals.
Sweat removes toxins from the body. Fevers burn away unwelcome invaders. Heat allows muscles to extend and contract further. Heat can be healthy, a lesson Bikram Choudhury embraced when he moved his yogic practice into a 105-degree room, 2 degrees hotter than the average temperature inside a yak. The idea caught on, spreading around the world and eventually coming to Bikram Yoga Westfield in the form of Bikram-certified teachers. They lead Bikram's classic series of 26 asanas and two breathing exercises, a 90-minute session of stretching in which each pose builds upon the benefits of the last. In addition to their signature heated yoga, the staff members also facilitate wellness with massage services, holistic nutritional counseling, and even CrossFit coaching through their sister organization, CrossFit Westfield.
A comprehensive guide to attractions and things to do.

by Will Schwalbe; Knopf, 2012; 337 pages; $25
In his biographical play "Shadowlands," William Nicholson writes about C. S. Lewis and his relationship with American poet Joy Davidman. Nicholson's "Lewis" states that "we read to know that we are not alone." It is as if Will Schwalbe heard the same words as he composed this moving account of the time he cherished with his mother Mary Anne in the two years she was fighting pancreatic cancer.
The question that informed his and his mother's lives during those two years is "What are you reading?" That was what he asked Mary Anne the first time they sat together at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Books, Will argues, would provide "much-needed ballast — something we both craved, amid the chaos and upheaval of Mom's illness." Mary Anne had always suggested books to her son, expressing her disappointment that he hadn't started them — impetus enough for him to recommend books as well.
"Mom started the book club unwittingly and I joined it grudgingly," Schwalbe reminds us early in the book. What begins, however, as a way to fill the silences that come with cancer waiting rooms becomes a primer on reading and on how to deal with terminal illness, a sort of booklover's "Tuesdays with Morrie."
The conversations that mother and son have over nearly two years are part literary and part personal. Schwalbe works in publishing. Mary Anne has been an actress, an educator and has travelled the world for refugee causes. Her newest charitable project is building a library in Afghanistan. Both are avid readers, Mary Anne always reading endings before beginning a book. Both adhere to the belief that most great books are "about people — and the connections they make, how they save one another and themselves."
Their list of book is eclectic, to say the least, popular to classic, self-help to poetry, novel to short story. Books are discussed briefly. How each book has an impact on their lives, more so. Most importantly, and movingly, Schwalbe reminds us that "the greatest gift of our book club was that it gave me time and opportunity to ask her things, not tell her things."
Late in her illness, Mary Anne Schwalbe impresses upon her son: "We're all in the end-of-our-life book club, whether we acknowledge it or not; each book we read may well be the last, each conversation the final one." Such compassion is at the heart of this small, lovely book and makes us Will Schwalbe's readers and makes us very much aware that "The End of Your Life Book Club" means he will never really be alone.

The Canadian Globe and Mail reports today that cannabis cut-off levels have been raised at the Winter Olympics:
"…in a nod to the growing relaxed attitude toward the drug around the world, the cut-off level for a positive test has been increased for the Sochi Games, allowing for some recreational use prior to the Olympics.
The new threshold for the active ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, has been increased from 15 nanograms per millilitre of urine to 150ng/mls. Officials say that means an athlete who smoked some weed before the Olympics, or inhaled second-hand smoke, wouldn't likely test positive in Sochi. Someone who failed the new test would have to be "a pretty dedicated cannabis consumer," WADA officials have said…"
And it's fitting that it is a Canadian newspaper that brings us this story. This blogger remembers 12 years ago when challenged as a sample collector by the subject over passive smoking of marijuana causing a false positive.
His evidence was that a snowboarder was stripped of his gold medal but then had it re-instated when he challenged the result on the basis that he hung around with other boarders and that the community smoked a lot of dope.
Our client was witnessing this discussion, so when I returned to the office I checked it out. It turned out that there was a snow boarder, Ross Rebagliati, whose gold medal was re-instated after a failed drugs test…not, though, on the grounds of passive smoking, but mainly because THC wasn't listed as a banned substance then – til snowboarding came in, the banned list focused on performance enhancing steroids! It has since been placed on WADA (the world anti-doping agency) list of banned substances.
That year, 1998, was the first time boarding was in the winter Olympics. I've just checked Mr Rebagliati's Wiki page and the story doesn't quite end there. In January 2013, he started a company called Ross' Gold – a Canadian medical marijuana company. Fact can be way better than fiction.

New Zealanders are guardians of a large and unique marine environment - 15 times bigger than New Zealand's land mass
Situated between the Bay of Islands and Whangarei, Mimiwhangata is exposed to bounteous tropical currents that bring in a rich variety of fish to its shores. It is home to over 70 types of fish from foxfish to tropical surgeon fish. We're working with local iwi to ensure that this underwater wilderness is given the protection it deserves. To find out more about our marine protection proposal see here
Although we are a world leader in establishing marine reserves, these reserves still cover just 0.3 % of our marine environment - a miniscule figure, especially given that more than 30% of our land mass is protected in parks and reserves.
Once teeming with life, our marine environments are under increasing threat from a wide variety of human activities. Namely -
Marine Farming
Mineral Extraction
Tourist Ventures
Coastline Development
All these activities take their toll on our vulnerable marine environments, plants and animals. The establishment of marine reserves allows recovery of marine life.
Marine reserves are "no take" areas protected from the sea surface to the seafloor where no fishing or removal of any other material is allowed. Diving, swimming, boating, kayaking, snorkelling and other activities that don't harm marine life are permitted in marine reserves.
These reserves are an ocean equivalent of our national parks and provide a safe haven for our marine life. They also offer areas for scientific research so that we can assess the effects we have on them in other areas. Marine reserves also provide fantastic recreational areas where people can learn about our native underwater species as they watch them recover.
New Zealand's first marine reserve (Cape Rodney – Okakari Point Marine Reserve) was established in 1977 and was one of the world's first no-take marine reserves. Each year, it attracts more than 350,000 snorkellers, divers, sightseers and marine scientists.
Click to enlarge
New Zealand now has 34 marine reserves, around (see map) which equates an area of 12,795.7 square kilometres. This sounds huge, but actually this only represents only 0.3% of New Zealand's total marine environment.
The Akaroa marine reserve, near Christchurch became New Zealand's newest latest marine reserve in April 2013.
Currently eight marine reserves are on the table.
These reserves are in the final stage of approval-process now that they have been proposed by the Ministers .
They include areas around the sub Antarctic Islands and the West coast of the South Island. If these marines reserves become established full protection of our territorial waters will be bumped up to 0.4%.
Establishing marine reserves to regenerate native populations has been a key campaign for Forest & Bird.
Why do we need more Marine Reserves and where do we need them?
New Zealand needs more marine reserves however we need to be careful as to where we place out marine reserves, so that they cover a variety of ecological niches.
Our two largest marine reserves are placed around off-shore islands and make up 97% of the total marine protection provided by marine reserves.
Forest & Bird believes we need more –
- Coastal mainland marine reserves
- Deep offshore marine reserves
Currently our legislation only allows for the establishment of marine reserves within the territorial sea (i.e 12 nautical miles), so no marine reserves have been established.
The Marine Reserves Bill, the proposed legislation which would allow marine reserves in the offshore marine environment, has received substantial public submissions, yet has still not proceeded to become law.
The fishing industry has proposed an initiative to preserve the sea-floor by prohibiting bottom trawling in some areas around offshore New Zealand. However, these initiatives do little to protect the marine environment because the designated areas are largely unfished – because they are either too deep, or too far offshore for trawlers to venture.
Marine ecosystems are still under threat throughout most of New Zealand's waters.

GLADSTONE - The Gladstone and Escanaba Key Clubs will be partnering with UNICEF on Friday to help put an end to Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus by raising funds for vaccines in an event called Miracle Minute.
The event will take place at the GladstoneEscanaba Football game which takes place in Gladstone this year. Money will be collected between the first and second quarters of the game.
Each Key Club has one minute to collect as much money as possible from their school's fans. Club members will use designated containers and circulate through the stands.
The club with the least amount of money will have the athletic director from their school dress in the opponent's school's colors and work as the athletic director at the winning school for a day.
Donations will be used to buy vaccines to help eliminate Maternal/Neonatal Tetanus which kills 160 babies worldwide every day.

In regards to the recent story ("In Focus: NRA: Arm school staffers, save lives," April 3) on the National Rifle Association's proposal to put guns in schools after the recent murders of 20 kids and six educators at Sandy Hook:
The National Rifle Association, led by Wayne LaPierre, above, recently reacted to the Newtown massacre by calling for school staffers to be trained as armed security officers. "The same people who profited from the guns and bullets that killed those children" have no place giving advice, a reader says.
2012 File Photo/The Associated Press
I wanted to say that it is essential that we listen to the wisdom of survivors of gun violence, rather than NRA head Wayne LaPierre. I couldn't imagine anyone listening to the advice of the same people who profited from the guns and bullets that killed those children.
The NRA's notion that response time is the key to protecting our children, rather than keeping the unstable from getting a gun, is a ruse. In other words, if your kid went out with his BB gun and shot the neighbor's cat, would you put a guard by all the neighbors' cats, or take the gun away?
More survivors are learning the hard way that guns would be made safer by treating them as a privilege, not a right.
I was almost a victim of a gunman when he walked into a bar with a short-barreled automatic and started to spray everyone sitting at the bar. I quickly grabbed it and struggled for it, hoping some other gun-wielding fool didn't crawl out of the woodwork to shoot the gunman while he was wrestling with me.
A gun simply wouldn't have helped me or the other 18 people who survived, because the NRA provides the weapons, legal protection and training that any gunman needs to get the drop on all of us.
And one more "response time" we should be concerned with is the speed with which the assault weapons ban got dropped from the Senate negotiations, showing us the influence of the NRA, the corruption of Congress and the weakness of the White House to do anything about it.

Energy efficiency program biased against rural firms
When homeowners are using the Efficiency Maine website or calling Efficiency Maine and asking for contractor information, they are given names of contractors who are within 25 miles of their ZIP code.
This is brutal for rural contractors who are not within 25 miles of highly populated areas. There is not one contractor I know who limits their range to 25 miles.
To get around this, Dana Fischer, the residential manager of Efficiency Maine, has encouraged companies to use their employee addresses as business locations.
Efficiency Maine also does not count jobs completed equally for all contractors.
All installation work that heating, solar, air sealing and insulation companies perform through the Efficiency Maine program is counted but not the independent audit company's work.
Their work is only counted if it leads to another contractor's work. Why should an auditor's job count be based on someone else's work?
Michael Stoddard, director of Efficiency Maine, has publicly stated that there is no way to keep track of how many audits are done and only counting finished houses can be accurate.
This is incorrect because every Efficiency Maine audit is entered in the Efficiency Maine database. Shouldn't he know this?
The website is the resource that most all homeowners use to find contractors. The way it is now, small rural companies are at an extreme disadvantage and homeowners are not getting complete information. Should Efficiency Maine be playing favorites with public funding?

Flyers teach Habs tough lesson

There's no textbook that explains how to play a perfect postseason road game.
But, as anyone who watched the Flyers dismantle the Canadiens Saturday afternoon can attest, there might now be a video.
Rebounding from a disappointing performance in Game 3, Philadelphia put the Habs in a 3-1 headlock with a convincing 3-0 victory at Montreal's Bell Centre.
Their goaltending was good, as you might expect from Philly's third whitewashing in four contests, but stopper Michael Leighton will be the first to admit that he wasn't the story in Game 4. This was all about the team's ability to make adjustments and having the discipline to execute them with nearly flawless precision.
The Canadiens had dominated Game 3, thanks to a lethal combination of team speed, a ferocious forecheck and a timely presence in front of Leighton. Going by the opening minutes of this contest, it looked like the Flyers were up against more of the same. The Habs fed off the energy of the raucous crowd -- is there a better atmosphere for playoff hockey than the Bell Centre? -- and had their legs moving early, banging the boards and crashing the net and creating havoc in the Philly zone. For a moment, it even looked as though Tomas Plekanec had opened the scoring after he pounced on a rebound in front of Leighton and slipped it between the goalie's pads, only to see the puck slide through the crease and harmlessly past the post.
That might have been their one chance. It wasn't long after that the momentum shifted decidedly in Philadelphia's favor. And the trick was adopting Montreal's successful Game 3 approach. Instead of the Canadiens chipping it in, chasing it down and creating chances off the forecheck, it was the Flyers who began to hem the Habs in their own zone, dictating the tone with their hustle and physical play.
They also dominated in the face-off circle, with Claude Giroux winning 11-of-16 and Mike Richards taking 11-of-18. And when the Habs entered the zone with the puck, they effectively clogged the lanes, taking away the passing options and forcing the Canadiens shooters to launch low-percentage shots that rarely made their way to the net. A late flurry lifted their total to 17 shots (including just one in the second period) ... but that was still 10 fewer than Philly's defenders were credited with blocking.
"That seems to be the key when it comes to playoff hockey," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said afterward. "Blocked shots, [winning] faceoffs and hits. It's the little things you do defensively that wins hockey games."
And the big things, too ... like cutting back on the turnovers that killed them Thursday night. "We definitely made better decisions with the puck," said Chris Pronger. "We didn't want to give them anything."
By the time the second period started, the Flyers were in complete control. They silenced the home crowd with the methodical style that led to a 13-1 shot advantage and kept the Habs pinned in their zone. The Canadiens' defenders, so effective in transition in Game 3, were reduced to banging the puck off the glass or worse, coughing it up under pressure.
That's what led to the only goal Philly would need. Josh Gorges, hobbled both by a skate problem and an overly long shift, failed to clear the zone. The puck ended up with Giroux, who quietly is using these playoffs to establish himself as a star-caliber performer. He blew by the one-legged Gorges and drove in hard on Halak before lifting a wrister high over his right shoulder at the 5:41 mark.
Ville Leino, acquired in a salary dump from Detroit for minor leaguer Ole-Kristian Tollefsen and a fifth-rounder in 2011, continued his spectacular run nine minutes later with his fourth of the postseason. He converted on a breakaway chance created when Pronger pounced on a P.K. Subban turnover and set up the winger with a beautiful 100-foot pass that he slid past the outstretched leg of Halak.
That was just part of Subban's rough afternoon. The rookie turned the puck over at several inopportune moments and struggled to hold the line on the power play.
"He's a young kid who wants to do well," coach Jacques Martin said. "He has his heart in the right place. It's a learning experience for him. He's got to be patient and make the right decision."
Meanwhile Pronger offered up his most complete game of the postseason, soaking up more than 31 minutes of ice and establishing a dominant physical presence in his own zone. It was the sort of performance that highlights the boldness of his acquisition last summer, and leaves Canadiens fans to wonder how different things might have been if their own No. 1 defender, Andrei Markov, had been available for the series.
So now the Flyers are one game away from the Stanley Cup Final; the Habs are one loss away from summer vacation. There's been little evidence on the ice to suggest Montreal has a comeback in it, but this is a team that battled back from a 3-1 series deficit against against Washington in the first round and a 3-2 hole against Pittsburgh in the second.
Despite his frustration, Martin believes his team has at least one more miracle in it.
"We know how we have to play," the coach said. "We just need certain areas of our game to be better."
It won't be easy to make those adjustments going into the Wachovia Center, where they failed to score a goal in Games 1 and 2. But there's one bright side to needing to win their next game on the road.
They've seen first-hand how it's supposed to be done.

Hi There,
I got a Iphone 1.1.4 unlocked running in Germany (WLAN connected). Yesterday I updated the installer app and downloaded some appz.
At one app (Amaze!) the installer went through all steps but now at the point "downloading packages" it stucks. I can not skip the download, I got no timeout since more than 10hours now. I just can not leave the Installer.app anymore!
I can not switch the phone off because the "downloading" blocks the slide to turn off.
Can anyone give me a hint for that? I already searched the forum but didn't find a solution
I made a hard reset and after that everything was fine again!!

Meet Rufflet, the cute little furry eaglet. Sporting a high base 83 Attack stat and decent base 60 Speed, Rufflet can cause quite a bit of havoc if used correctly. Its movepool, while not large, is big enough for it to pose an offensive threat to any team. Rufflet also has the defensive stats to take the odd hit or two while scouting or setting up. Unfortunately, Rufflet's Flying typing gives it undesirable weaknesses to common Electric-, Rock-, and Ice-type attacks, as well as Stealth Rock, which limit its offensive capabilities. Its Speed, although decent, leaves it outsped by threats such as Chinchou and Archen, who can bring down Rufflet in a flash with their STAB attacks. Rufflet might also have a hard time dealing major damage to the opponent because of its lack of strong, reliable STAB moves. Despite these flaws, Rufflet isn't to be underestimated, as with the right support, it can run through entire teams with ease.
With 16 Speed and access to U-turn, Rufflet can run a Choice Scarf set very well. Pluck and Return are Rufflet's best STAB moves, allowing it to hit a wide range of threats very hard. STAB Pluck is also a boon in a metagame in which Fighting-types such as Timburr and Mienfoo see a lot of usage. Superpower is Rufflet's way of hitting Rock- and Steel-types that would easily wall the rest of its moves. Rock Slide can be used instead of Superpower to hit Flying-types harder than Rufflet's other moves, as it is boosted by Sheer Force. It also ensures that Archen, who otherwise walls Rufflet, doesn't pose a big threat. U-turn is a given for any Choice Scarf set, giving Rufflet the ability to scout your opponent's switch-in.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Rufflet can also run a Bulk Up set pretty well. The idea is to switch into a weak physical attacker such as Ferroseed and set up with Bulk Up. Roost lets Rufflet shrug off any damage it accumulates as it sets up, and lets Rufflet heal itself so it can continue to set up or attack. Substitute can also be used, as it makes it easier for Rufflet to set up, and protects it from nasty status as well as attacks that could otherwise KO it, meaning Rufflet won't be stopped by faster Pokemon. Return is Rufflet's main STAB attack, hitting anything that doesn't resist it very hard after a Bulk Up. Pluck is Rufflet's secondary STAB move, giving it some form of super effective coverage. It also allows Rufflet to cripple Pokemon that rely upon Oran Berry to avoid certain 2HKOs.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Rufflet does have a few other options. A Life Orb set might look viable on paper, as Rufflet likes having the freedom to switch moves while maintaining its decent coverage. However, Rufflet's lack of Speed and generally weak attacks makes this a poor choice. A Choice Band set can be used to hit very hard, but once again, Rufflet can easily be walled and set up on. Rufflet also has access to Work Up and special attacks such as Air Slash and Heat Wave, but its terrible base 37 Special Attack stat makes this a bad idea.
Checks and Counters
Rufflet is not at all hard to counter because of its poor coverage options. Bronzor is the bane of Rufflet's existence, as it laughs at all of Rufflet's attacks, including Superpower, and can retaliate with a powerful STAB Gyro Ball. Similarly, Rock-types such as Roggenrola and Onix can sponge choice-locked Rufflet's attacks with ease and OHKO it with their STAB Rock-type attacks. Faster Choice Scarf users such as Gastly, Abra, and Chinchou can outspeed and dispose of Rufflet easily with their STAB attacks. Although uncommon, Archen only dislikes taking a Rock Slide, and can outspeed and OHKO Rufflet with its own Rock Slide. Cottonee can render the Bulk Up set useless with Encore if it switches in safely. Wooper also makes a fine check to the Bulk Up set, as it ignores Rufflet's stat boosts thanks to Unaware and can severely weaken it with Waterfall.
Rufflet gets a gift from the Dream World in the form of Hustle, which strengthens its offensive clout and makes it a dangerous Choice Scarf user on par with the likes of Darumaka.

For those of you who think it took 15 minutes to set up this meeting--this was three years in the making." So said Jill Adler, president of the Greater New York chapter of Meeting Professionals International (MPI) at the opening of the chapter's first-ever Technology Institute, held July 21 at the New York Sheraton Hotel and Towers' Executive Conference Center.
It was apparent from the classroom setups--one room had 21 personal computers with a video projector and several tech assistants on hand--that a lot of care and a lot of money had gone into the preparation for this one-day seminar.
One presentation stood out because it displayed creative use of a software product not often seen at meeting industry demonstration sessions. The product in question was a meeting and event management application of Lotus Notes, created by Synectic Systems, Ltd., a New Hampshire-based developer.
"Probably the best thing about Lotus Notes is that it lets you work the way you need to," said Emilia Seibold, director of consulting services for Synectic. "Who in this business works on one project at a time? With Notes, you can have as many as nine databases open at once." What makes the product powerful, she said, is that the databases are on a network or on the Web, so it isn't necessary to have all the databases resident at the same place, and that Notes links all these databases into a single application.
Her example was impressive: Synectic managed the 1996 Republican National Convention using Lotus Notes. "We completely scripted the entire event, line by line," she said. "When George Bush's speech came up 20 minutes too long one-half hour before he was scheduled to begin, we were able to reschedule events around him so the program would stay on track--and the new schedule was immediately updated at all locations, including the Web site and the production companies and television networks."
One of the more intriguing applications for the Republican Convention was speaker management. Synectic created a grid and schedule that gave the organizers access to every document related to the speaker's participation in the event, and included a resume of arrival and departure information; time, place, and duration of speech; and such helpful security information as a Social Security number, automobile license plate number, and even a photo.
According to Seibold, meeting planners don't have to buy the software--it can be rented for however long it's needed.
The only shadow over the presentation was a recent report from Gartner Group (a Massachusetts-based technology consulting firm) that Microsoft Exchange, a rival to IBM's Lotus Notes, has been eroding the seven-year-old product's market share.
The next event for MPI's Greater New York chapter is Education Day 1998 on September 15 at the Marriott World Trade Center. For more information, call Kathie Stapleton at (914) 762-1456.

South Tower (1140s)
View from south of the Romanesqe south tower of Chartres Cathedral, a beautiful but plain square tower with pyramid spire dating from the 1140s. It rises 349 feet (105m) high. The north spire does not match this one; it is in a Flamboyant Gothic style of the 16th century.
