BATON ROUGE — The last congressman to jointly represent both Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes on Capitol Hill has been out of office for only about three weeks and already is back in the headlines and on the airwaves.
BATON ROUGE — The last congressman to jointly represent both Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes on Capitol Hill has been out of office for only about three weeks and already is back in the headlines and on the airwaves.
Politically, it could be a sign of things to come for southwest Louisiana, where former Republican Rep. Jeff Landry's base of power resides.
A New Iberia attorney and businessman, Landry played armchair quarterback for KPEL, a Lafayette-based radio station, on President Barack Obama's inauguration address Monday, calling it a "progressive speech" and a promise that the "government is going to take care of you."
Landry also had harsh words for House Speaker John Boehner, an Ohio Republican he said made bad decisions during critical times in the last term.
"I think he would be gone today if there was a person we could replace him with," Landry told the Acadiana station.
The following day, Landry had a letter to the editor published in The Advocate, Baton Rouge's daily newspaper, describing the federal National Gas Act as a "disaster for our economy."
"The legislation requires you — the taxpayer — to subsidize the natural gas transformation at the cost of more than $100 billion," he wrote. "And it disregards the huge investments made by private companies like Sasol and Shell, who are risking billions of dollars to expand their Louisiana refineries to turn natural gas into a diesel fuel that doesn't require the type of massive transformation of infrastructure that these politicians are proposing."
Landry said shortly before leaving office that he could likely become a familiar voice on conservative talk radio, possibly with a recurring role on the Denny Schaffer Show on WRNO in New Orleans.
"I'll do liberal radio, too, if you can find me one," Landry said in an interview with The Courier before the new Congress was seated Jan. 3.
Landry also would not rule out possible runs for district attorney out of Iberia Parish or against Sen. Mary Landrieu, a New Orleans Democrat up for reelection in 2014.
After a bitterly fought campaign against Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, Landry's campaign only has about $66,000 left in the bank, according to the Federal Election Commission.
Boustany won the newly configured 3rd Congressional District with 60 percent of the vote in a December runoff.
Prior to the most recent redistricting process, which shifts political lines every 10 years based on population, Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes were both part of the 3rd District.
Now, the northern halves of both parishes are in the 6th Congressional District and the southern portions are in the 1st District, represented by Reps. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, and Steve Scalise, R-Metairie, respectively.

Heyman states they?re handled as business owners who operate their very own company and offered assist to be successful ? from banking guidance to pc programs to English classes.

Each man within their 20?s may have listened to the quintessential friend-stumbling-onto-a-?happy ending?-massage-parlor-story. This kind of an occasion is really a ceremony of passage for an grownup male residing in a large metropolis. The pre-excitement, the illegality, the thriller of what she?s gonna appear like, the ?turn ova? ? it?s all a part of the encounter. And albeit, there?s absolutely nothing even worse than the usual therapeutic massage that nearly turned XXXtra, but didn?t. That?s the Burke Williams shit, and also you don?t want that. That?s for ladies. And also the final factor a man in his 20s desires would be to spend $200 to put bare on the desk whilst a man that appears like his buff buddy Troy knocks around the doorway and asks, ?Mr. Kozel, are you currently prepared?? (shudder)
I imply, are you able to blame us, ladies? It?s not our faults. It?s how we?re wired. (Exactly the same way we don?t realize why you prefer chocolate so damn a lot. It?s not THAT great!)
And I?m not speaking about prostitution brothels. These are harmful. I?m speaking about properly lit therapeutic massage parlors that males and ladies can each regular, but that just so occur to provide men a bit little bit much more. That?s all.

Finizio chooses unions over budget savings
Quick. What does Albuquerque have in common with New London?
That's right. Not the climate. It was above 80 degrees at noon Tuesday there, while there was a fall chill in the air here, closer to 60 degrees.
This hot summer, one thing the two cities had in common was a discussion about whether union construction firms should have a leg up in bidding on big expensive municipal contracts.
The Democratic-controlled City Council in New London blew a big kiss to the unions this summer and passed an ordinance giving union firms an advantage in competitive bidding.
Mayor Finizio took a big union swoon, too, refusing to veto the ordinance, saying it will make for better buildings, even though they will likely cost the city more money.
In Albuquerque, the issue of union-friendly rules for city construction projects has divided candidates for a pending mayoral race, with one candidate endorsing them, another campaigning against them and a third flip-flopping.
This is a debate that has been occurring all around the country, obviously the result of a national strategy by the unions to use political muscle to get a better grip on government contracts.
New London adopted a similar union-friendly rule in 2008. But after a political shift on the council, the Green Party and Republicans managed to rescind it in 2010, saying it excluded 80 percent of potential bidders, many of them small businesses.
One round of schools construction bidding at the time indicated a $900,000 savings, had the city been able to accept the lower, nonunion bid.
In bringing back labor-friendly requirements for city construction bids, the New London City Council was doing the union's heavy lifting, subverting the whole principle of competitive, low-bid-wins awarding of contracts.
The City Council did the lifting, but Mayor Finizio weighed in with the attempt at explaining, writing an op-ed piece for The Day, "Why Union Labor is Better," saying why he didn't veto the union-bussing ordinance.
Curiously, the mayor doesn't deny that the new ordinance is going to cost the city money.
In other words, it does indeed undermine the whole intent of competitive bidding to get the best price, a time-honored means to be sure governments are not cheated.
More strangely, the mayor made the argument, without any kind of statistics or documentation, that more expensive union-built buildings are better.
"While a bid awarded may, in today's dollars, be less than a union construction bid, the buildings built are not of the same quality," Finizio wrote.
I'm not sure what he could possibly base that reasoning on.
The city has its own building department and inspectors to be sure every single building in the city, whether built privately or by city contract, by union or nonunion workers, meets appropriate building codes and standards.
Where are the statistics that show union firms build better buildings?
It is also not clear how much of higher costs of using unionized companies goes to the construction workers and how much goes to the company owners. I suspect more to the latter.
Clearly the mayor is pandering to what he considers to be a powerful political constituency. That may be useful in statewide politics, where union endorsements can carry a lot of weight.
I am not sure, though, that making rules that drive up the cost of new municipal buildings, favoring a union constituency over others, in a city with rising tax rates, is such good politics.
We will find out this fall when Republicans, who rescinded the last union-friendly rules that subverted competitive bidding, will be on the ballot again.
This is the opinion of David Collins

Sharon Junkersfeld died January 17, 2013
Sharon Jean (Kirby) Junkersfeld the beloved wife of Gary Don Junkersfeld passed away Thursday, January 17, 2013 at Baptist Medical Center in Little Rock, AR from respiratory failure. Sharon lived her life as a loving mother, sister, grandmother and devoted wife. She treasured family memories and organized extended family gatherings. These wonderful events often centered on her wonderful barbeque ribs and beans, both at their home in Heber Springs and on the original 40 acre Junkersfeld/Hollenstein homestead near Pocahontas, AR.
A lover of her family, Sharon loved to sneak down to the lake to fish with her children and grandchildren. In addition to being a busy mother and grandmother, she also managed to accompany Gary on several construction sites. She engaged people with an open loving heart and beautiful smile. She instinctively knew who to hug and whom to give encouraging words along with her pat on the back. Sharon joins our Lord with her husband, lover and best friend Gary. We know that there was a wonderful time of rejoicing with that reunion.
On April 29, 1966, Sharon married her lifetime love and companion Gary Junkersfeld who preceded her in death on November 25, 2011. This union of love brought forth her pride and joy, her four sons, Gary, Donnie, Christopher and David.
Sharon is survived by her mother Doris Haymaker and brother Larry Kirby. Her father John and sister Sandra are deceased. Sharon developed a pet name for Gary when at the Junkersfeld/Hollenstein homestead. She would remark, "There goes my Daniel Boone," as he walked into the wooded areas. She enjoyed raising her roses, gardening and fishing.
Sharon is survived by her sons Gary, Donnie, Christopher, David, her mother Doris Haymaker and brother Larry Kirby as well as 14 grandchildren, 4 great-grandchildren and another expected soon, and countless nieces, nephews and cousins who will always cherish Sharon's great love for them. The family plans a private memorial event. Eternal rest grant unto Sharon, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. St. Joseph pray for us. Amen. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Paul's Catholic Church, 1002 Convent St., Pocahontas, Arkansas, 72455.

What's wrong with harassment?
Posted 29 October 2005 - 07:39 PM
Perhaps It's just because I'm relatively new to the nature photography game but it seems illogical to me how upset people seem to get at the idea "harassment" of creatures to get a shot.
There was a great shot of an octopus posted a few days ago and the first question was did you harass it? It turned out that it was not coaxed into the position, (or the poster was too scared to admit the truth in fear of being ridiculed.) WHY?
There are all sorts of ways people harass animals for pleasure and no-one thinks twice about it. People kill fish after dragging them to the surface from with a hook or after piercing it with a metal pole. People shoot large mammals with guns. All in the name of sport (aka something to pass the time)
Even in the least cruel form of fishing, catch and release, at a minimum the victim is subjected to an immense amount of stress and some bodily damage. I'd estimate that 50% of fish I have released did not survive more than a few hours post release But this is considered OK.
I'm not trying to make an argument for or against hunting or fishing but clearly the general consensus is that torturing and killing animals (under the name of sport) for human enjoyment is an acceptable form of entertainment.
Yet it seams that the majority would consider it immoral to poke an puffer-fish and then take it's picture. Poking the puffer causes very little harm to the puffer but even if it killed the fish, the number of puffers that would be killed by divers would be negligible next to the number of snapper killed by fishermen.
How is it worse to poke something to make it move take it's picture than it is to jab a spike through it's head.
Why is this shot not all that controversial, but a picture of a puffed up puffer is?
I could go on but I think you guys get what I'm saying.
Next week, who came up with the lie that coral was deathly allergic to humans - most DM's tell divers that a slight touch of the hand will cause the whole colony to die.......umm, not.

There's no question (in my mind anyway) that some fish species can become habituated to the presence of non-spearfishing divers - at least to the extent that they can learn that these clumsy large creatures present no obvious threat and can be ignored. That doesn't mean that handling, touching, moving and other forms of harassment aren't stressful and potentially damaging to the animal. It's also reasonable to assume that some species are more sensitive and/or vulnerable than others, but we don't, of course, know which ones or what the real limits are. And even the presence of divers can be a problem. With the possible exception of Blue Corner in Palau, I can't think of many heavily-dived sites that once (say, as recently as 1990) had lots of sharks that still do. That may be mainly because of overfishing, but it's also true that sharks are rare at some sites that are heavily dived but never fished in regions where there are still sharks.
Will a slight touch of the hand kill an entire coral colony? I frankly don't know, but neither does acropora. Again, the true answer might not be simple. There are many coral species, some are probably more vulnerable than others, and it's also reasonable to think that particular corals already stressed by other environmental factors (predation, temperature change) or other divers might be more vulnerable. The theory that even a touch could seriously damage a coral colony is apparently based on the idea that removing or damaging the mucus coating on the surface of a coral colony even in a small area can create an entrypoint for infection and/or make the coral more vulnerability to predators. I don't know if this is really proven, but I'm fairly certain that it hasn't been disproven either.
Whether a slight touch can kill a coral or not, there's no doubt that clumsy fin kicks can do serious damage. Anyone who has ever dived on a truly pristine reef that is rarely or never dived or fished before knows very well the difference between that kind of place and a heavily dived, beaten up sites. One doesn't have to have been diving long to see the deterioration over time in any location that is heavily dived, though it is equally true that heavily dived sites that are protected from fishing (especially destructive fishing practices) may do better over time than undived sites unprotected from fishing pressures.
The bottom line is that corals are live animals, not inanimate rocks. Some of us would view someone who idly carves his/her initials in the bark of a tree (even if the tree is simply "wild", not a threatened species, not located in a national park or nature preserve, and in spite of the well-known fact that many trees have survived this kind of abuse... as I was saying, some of would view that person as .. well, an asshole.
I know I'm hardly pure on this subject. I eat (some) seafood, though I try to stick to tuna and other pelagics taken in fisheries where they are not believed to be under threat. Like Mike V., I examine sea cucumbers for commensals, and crinoids too. On more than one occasion I have accidentally damaged a crinoid I was looking at, and I'd be lying if I claimed I've never damaged a coral. I know very well that I have.
Only a few days ago, I was urging someone on this board to pick up the next Linckia sp. sea star that he saw to look for the lovely parasitic crinoid, Thyca crystallina, that often lives on board. I personally don't believe picking up a Linkia, taking a picture of its parasites, and then replacing it on the same or similar substrate (of course) is likely to harm it - unlike feeding it to a Harlequin shrimp, which I admit I've also done, but I could be wrong. I personally don't believe its ethical to move a photographic subject to a different location for a shot, but I'll admit using a metal rod to gently induce a frogfish and similar creatures to move a couple of inches, and I've stuck the same rod into the sand under a mimic octopus in order to discourage it from re-entering its hole while I was trying to take its picture.
Some might call it sophistry (and they may be right), but there is an important difference between trying (at least) to minimize one's impact as a diver and u/w photographer (with no illusions about that impact ever being zero) and acroporas argument which, if I understand hiim correctly, is that because some people fish, hunt, torture or kill fish and other wildlife for entertainment, and because not everyone condemns this, it's ok to do whatever you want. Or that because commercial fishermen kill snappers, harassing a puffer to induce it to blow up for a photo is also ok. It really isn't. (We know that this treatment seriously stresses the animal, may make it much more vulnerable to other predators, and some puffers subjected to this treatment end up inadvertently swallowing air at the surface which they cannot get rid of and die.
I think Acropora has set up and is arguing with a strawman. Those who object to harassing and possibly killing pufferfishes just for a picture are not the same people who think it's fine to spearfish for fun.

This feels like flamebait, but what the hell. I don't think you'll find many people concerned about harassment of marine life by photographers who also engage in (or endorse) spearfishing for sport, or believe catch-and-release gear fishing does no harm to the fish, or much enjoy shooting terrestrial animals for fun.
Flamebate, Yep, thats the goal. Get people talking/thinking. I don't care which side you take, I want a good discussion from all sides. Nice reply, thats what I wanted, though not all of your statements were scientifically accurate.
Will a slight touch of the hand kill an entire coral colony? I frankly don't know, but neither does acropora. Again, the true answer might not be simple. There are many coral species, some are probably more vulnerable than others, and it's also reasonable to think that particular corals already stressed by other environmental factors (predation, temperature change) or other divers might be more vulnerable.

I don't know if this is really proven, but I'm fairly certain that it hasn't been disproven either.
Whether a slight touch can kill a coral or not, there's no doubt that clumsy fin kicks can do serious damage.
Yes I can say that beyond a doubt the chance of killing a coral from a gentle touch is 0. It causes no stress. Anyone who has done extensive work with coral in captivity or in the ocean will agree with me on this point. I do know this because I spent 5 years culturing corals. Handling them on a daily basis and I still achieved growth rates greater than that in the ocean.
Now clearly there is a big difference between a gentle touch and bashing it with your fin. Bashing it with the fin will do damage that could take months or years to fully recover from though killing the colony is unlikely.
The touch it/kill it lie was invented because if divers think they will kill it by touching it they are less likely to kick it. And when I am being a DM I spread the lie for just that purpose....
and some puffers subjected to this treatment end up inadvertently swallowing air at the surface which they cannot get rid of and die.
Also un-true. They can get rid of the air. They can spit it out with relative ease. It might take a little longer and make them somewhat susceptible to the barracuda, but give him 5 minutes and it will be on it's way. Did you know the swim bladder and stomach(which is what a puffer fills with water to inflate) are in-fact two parts of the same organ. Most fish swallow air to fill their swim bladder (at least the first time) and many continue to do so their entire life, they also push air from their swim-bladder back into their stomach and then spit it out. Air in the stomach is not close to a death sentence.
though I try to stick to tuna and other pelagics taken in fisheries where they are not believed to be under threat.
Tuna (especially the big ones) are near the top of the list of heavily over fished species. It has gotten so bad that the frequency of catching a big tuna is so small they now catch smaller ones and put them in cages until they grow up. And then have the nerve to call it aquaculture.
My point was primarily to spur conversation. But also divers harassing fish are not going to have a negative impact on the environment. If you want to save the coral reef, get people to quit eating fish, driving cars and get farmers to quit using fertilizer. You need to stop the big problems before you tackle the small ones.
and acroporas argument which, if I understand hiim correctly, is that because some people fish, hunt, torture or kill fish and other wildlife for entertainment, and because not everyone condemns this, it's ok to do whatever you want. Or that because commercial fishermen kill snappers, harassing a puffer to induce it to blow up for a photo is also ok. It really isn't.
Your boat has two holes in it. One the size of a watermelon, the other the size of a pinprick. Everyone is going after the pinprick because it is easier but in the long run fixing the pinprick wont stop the boat from sinking.

DMs have to tune their warnings and policies to the lowest common denominator of diver, which is pretty low at times. No question that otherwise the reefs get the hell beat out of them.
But I posted a short story about feeding some wolf eels on ScubaDiving.com and you should of heard the stupid replies about how the chicken they ate had growth hormones! Give me a break!
I also asked here a month or so ago about how ethical/harmful it is to move a nudi out from a crack to take a picture and then replace it. Never did get a clear answer to that.

As a big fan of non-harassment, I've left seafood as a memory amongst other more active movements Frogfish knows about.
As for manipulating sealife, I've not done it except for one or 2 occasions, say using the same metal rod Frogfish mentioned to entice a mimic from sliding back into the hole. I learnt how to do it from critter experts and you never touch the thing directly, the octopus feels the rod block the way and moves off.
I am against moving anything for a pic though. I dislike strobes and use lights which the subject can run away from (unless they are pygmy seahorses which actually fainted from a 50W halogen, dialing down to 25% power and they are much happier.
I don't kid myself to think I'm harmless to the sea. But I do try to minimize my impact. I have a rule, if I break coral, I skip the day's dive. This turns out to be a pretty expensive lesson for me to watch where my appendages are.

Beyond that, there's this whole ethical benefit/harm question that is very murky. For very little benefit to a creature or its population, even little harm is a bad thing... for a big benefit to the population, maybe it's okay to harm a creature or two to get a scientificly important photo...or a photo that grips humans enough to stop them from fishing a creature into oblivion...
And, I refuse to be lumped into the same catagory as a bunch of recreational, dives only once every couple of years, bottom-dwelling trogolodyte rototillers!
All the best, James

I dont know about you folks but as a beginner/amateur type I have to _really_ work at stopping myself chasing after fish to get a better shot or taking 'one more shot' of the more stationary creatures like seahorses.
So when I read things like '3 or 4 shots at most and dont touch' its an easier rule for me than trying to think through how stressed the particular animal is from a particular action. I dont want to be trying to explain to someone else how what Im doing wasnt really stressful for that particular creature, because Im on the back foot from the start and pushing uphill with that kind of discussion.
Similarly with coral Ive put a finger on what I thought was a rock and found out was small boulder coral or the like, hollow and rather fragile and it broke off, I felt terrible. Now you clever types would have no doubt recognised it, but for me Im trying to stick to 'just dont touch it' where ever possible.
Maybe it isnt harmful if you do X or Y but I just dont want to take a chance really so Id rather over compensate. While theres bigger fish to fry (heh
), this is _me_. You can justify almost anything by saying theres someone doing worse out there after all, because there almost always is no matter what it is.
Posted 30 October 2005 - 10:35 PM
Like Mike, I am not hesitating to flip over a sea cucumber for emperor shrimp and look in its butt for cool stuffs but again, sea cucumber does not seem to be affected much by this. A little herding here and there might add a bit of stress but it is not like a big fish swooping in for a meal. U/W ecology is much less transquil than its seem as fish seems to have nothing much to do beside eating and hunting. A flash is a lot less troublesome to a pgymy seahorse than a hawkfish, I think
There are a lot of uw photographers now and I think more damage is probably being done to coral etc by not being aware of their fins position, kicking up things as they are trying to take pictures rather than handling of the animal itself.
Posted 30 October 2005 - 11:45 PM
Great topic - fancy getting Mike to admit to being a fondler .....
The photo in your post is controversial to me - not because of the speared fish ( i view spearing as selective fishing ) but because it shows spearing on SCUBA - where's the sport in that ???
On a serious note I have always tried to take a "low impact " approach to my photography - this has worked for me.
In days gone by I was one of those who discouraged the use of gloves - now I can't dive without them.
How things change.
Posted 31 October 2005 - 12:33 AM
Or maybe not...
Most, if not all, of the boats I've been on flush the waste from the toilets straight out in the ocean. There are a lot of boats in the Egyptian Red Sea!

So, did they puff the puffer before dining on fugu? Oh sure, you wouldn't eat a cute little puffer, would you? Why is OK to eat ugly fish and not cute ones? Better to eat plentiful cute ones than sparse ugly ones, don't you think?
Can interaction go too far? Of course. I've seen it. I've seen a seahorse almost sliced in half accidently by a unskilled diver and a Nikonos framer. I seen a videographer not stress a frogfish, but then destroy it with his fins when he left.
The problem is it that how much is too much cannot easily be defined. Interactions of a certain type with one creature may be OK, but may be very detrimental to another species. Since one magic rule is better than the equivalent of the "Rules of Golf", we have it. "Don't interact with the fish", i.e. "No touching".
By the way, as a reformed pufferer of puffers, I've heard it all. The puffer only has so many puffs. If it puffs, it will soon die. After it puffs itself, it is defenseless against predators (man, what kind of defense mechanism is that then?) No point arguing even though I've seen them partial puff and then immediately unpuff and swim away.
The interacting/stressing issue is way overplayed.
The massive influx of new photographers with little diving skills damaging the reef is very real.
The barriers to entry for underwater photography have lessened substantially, so now many more divers spend $200 to house their already owned digicam and now get much closer to the reef than they did previously and far earlier in their diving career.
I get people siging up for u/w photo classes after one dive trip. I do a pool session before open water dives. If the pool bottom were a reef, it would be dead.
Then there are those with requisite skills, but just don't care. Give them a camera and the amount of damage they cause quadruples.
Then there are those with skills who do care. Do they ever cause damage. Sometimes. But I don't think the impact from this category will ever be noticeable.
Just my opinion.
Posted 31 October 2005 - 07:49 AM
But just because these serious problems are most likely much worse than prodding and poking some animal, does not make that a non-issue. It's not so much that that animal will eventually die from it, although i dont think you can really know what the effects are. It's more an issue of letting future divers enjoy these same animals. Harass an animal often enough, and it'll find a different place to live. So I agree with most rules on touching that busy places have. You can not always point to someone else and say "but they're much worse". There's always someone much worse.

A photographer once told me back in the day(70s,80s) there weren't so many shooters so breaking and killig something for a shot wasn't a big deal (leafy sea dragons, pegasus sea moths etc). But nowadays, every tom dick and mary is a shooter, so that sort of behavior is now noticeable and causes a lot more damage, and now unacceptable.
Sure there are good shooters and bad shooters. We can try to justify what we do for whatever reasons. Some think after spending 20k on gear, they have a right to take whatever pic they want. No it doesn't.
Besides the welfare of the sea and its inhabitants, there's also the issue of sharing for fellow divers, as Cor said. If I shoot the heck out of a pygmy seahorse until it falls from the fan (seen this a few time!) then the next guy is going miss it. Tough? First come first serve? There is a certain u/w decorum involved.
I don't think anyone would admit happily that they have trampled on table coral for a shot (and breaking a 300 yr old coral) or captured and poked a frogfish or 10 so they could take one shot. It's a slippery steep slope from undetrimentally manipulation to full out destruction. I just like it when someone on a boat is told that he just broke coral and he defiantly argues that a grouper or turtle does worse damage. Who gives a crap what the coral reefs use to look like? Do the fish? They just move on or die. Is the eco-system being affected? On a minute level yes. That's why I like to go to places where there aren't more than 10 divers visiting in the month! :-)

A 300 year old table coral would be huge. Those things grow fast. Once they get established (3 years old or so) average growth is around 10 inches of diameter per year. A 300 year old table coral would be bigger than a bus. Now porites bommies are old. But much more difficult to destroy.
Not only that, but when you knock the colony over, it does not die. Even when you break off a small branch as small as 5mm, so long as it does not get buried in the sand, it will continue to grow. Fragmentation is the primary method of reproduction in these corals. So you are actually helping the coral reproduce.
But your point is taken. Divers are certainly capable of stressing out or killing reef creatures.
While it would be silly to encourage such behavior, the amount of damage that is done by divers is sustainable. Unlike many other assaults on the reef. The reason why reefs in remote places are healtier is not because of less scuba divers but because there is less polution, fertilizer, commertial fishing, ect...
Next time you stress out because you accidentally broke a small branch off of a coral, realize that people in many more remote parts of the world are mining live coral from the reefs by the ton to make cement to build buildings and roads.
So when you land on the runway (made of pulverized coral skeletons) of your remote island, realize you are contributing to much more reef distrction than the first time diver in the florida keys kicking corals right and left.

Having said that, I think that everyone has to do it's part to protect the reef. It remains to be seen what is the diver's relative contribution to coral reef destruction, is it 5%? 50%? Nobody knows for sure, but I think everyone has to exercise extreme caution when interacting with coral reefs. I see nothing wrong in poking a fish to make it move a few inches for a photo. However, I don't like the idea of breaking a coral branch that is messing up your composition just because you know that species grows fast. To me, it is the same as having a higly pollutant, gas sucking, very large SUV to drive in Florida (no hills or snow there and all roads are paved, so no need for an SUV). I know that if I buy a hybrid car it will not make a difference because 50% of the Americans are buying SUVs, but at least I did my part.
There are millions of corals and coral reefs in the world, and in the end you may ask, what difference does it make if I break a coral or not? It probably won't make a difference to the grand scale of world wide coral reef degradation, but it will make a huge difference to that particular coral reef where you are diving, and that difference will certainly be noticed by the divers and photographers that come after you leave.
Safe diving!

Yellow Lemon Quartz Triangle Drop Earrings Simple Good Luck Talisman
$25.00Ask a question
This listing is for original Kaleidoscope Kitty Earrings
Sterling Silver
Lemon Quartz- these were acquired on my very first year going to the Tucson gem show. I was very drawn to the triangle, and purchased that shape in many different stones.
About Kaleidoscope Kitty's stones
I love the fissures, the inclusions, the flaws of all stones. I think that's what makes them beautiful and unique. I hand select each one of my gems for my "littles" collection, picking each to pair with my feeling and intention at the time of creation. Whether you believe in metaphysical properties of stones or not, these little gems have been made with the best care, and love you can find, and I believe it shows. They are special. I source with stone cutters, and vendors from across the globe to bring you my favorite good luck charm, my Littles.
All jewelry is made by me in my studio in Minneapolis using only the finest supplies crafted in the late hours of the night after the workday is over. My passion for jewelry started at the tender age of 10, and it is because of my customers, I get the opportunity to share beauty with the world.

Here's an interesting twist: An HTC Windows Phone design is evidently being reused for a new Android phone. Yes, after a few cycles of having it in reverse it appears now that HTC will take their highly praised 8X design and recycle it for a new Android M7.
The images come via Android Police and while this is far from official (or 100% confirmed), the phone looks different enough from the 8X to be legitimate.
Sense 5.0 is reportedly on board though specs were not elaborated upon. The camera LED, normally to the right of the camera on the 8X, has been moved to the left and the same goes for the front facing camera, which has also swapped sides. As Android Police point out, this could be an elaborate hoax but it fits with HTC's MO of reusing previous designs across platforms to reduce cost (and bank on success if the design is popular).
Earlier rumored specifications of the device suggest that this is basically a bigger more badass 8X. As reported by our sister site Android Central, the twitter account @evleaks spilled the deets saying the M7 has "a 1080p display at 4.7 inches with an eye watering 468PPI. Underneath is said to be a second-generation Qualcomm quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage."
Clearly we can see HTC moving into the 1080P range for displays, something for which they reportedly want to do with Windows Phone 8 but can't. Ironically, if Windows Phone 8 does get bumped for 1080P, we could see the 8X rebranded as the M7 come back to Windows Phone as the 8X2 or something similar, completing the odd HTC product design cycle.
The M7 is rumored to be revealed at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month.
So how do you folks feel over Windows Phone now being mimicked for Android? Better than before when we were getting recycled designs or worse knowing that Android fans will finally get that 8X look and feel? Let us know.

The Terrebonne Parish sheriff said he is addressing the severely critical audit of his predecessor's four years in office with internal, state and federal reviews of different issues.
The Terrebonne Parish sheriff said he is addressing the severely critical audit of his predecessor's four years in office with internal, state and federal reviews of different issues.
Sheriff Jerry Larpenter also reiterated several times in his written response to auditors that he will address some concerns they pointed out about former Sheriff Vernon Bourgeois' four years in office by adopting policies "followed as was previously while I was sheriff."
Investigating authorities could be the Sheriff's Office legal counsel, the state Legislative Auditor's Office, the Internal Revenue Service, and state and federal labor departments.
Larpenter has also already received a state Attorney General's Office opinion regarding a verbal contract between Bourgeois and a Houma-based work-release center, allowing the center to pay $800,000 less than originally agreed upon. The audit highlighted the verbal amending of such a contract as a possible misdeed.
However, Assistant Attorney General Michael Vallan said in a written opinion that the change in the contract with Louisiana Workforce LLC is binding.
Still, Larpenter said he would seek an opinion on the matter from the Legislative Auditor's Office.
"Based upon the large number of questions and deficiencies with this audit, it would appear to me that a full and complete audit of the last four years ... be performed by the Legislative Auditor," Larpenter wrote to the certified public accounting firm Kolder, Champagne, Slaven & Co.
Auditors with the firm have already said they will send the audit to the Legislative Auditor's Office.
This audit is only the firm's recommendation, and the legislative auditor must take the next step if Bourgeois is to face any consequences, Sheriff's Office attorney Bill Dodd said.
Attempts to reach Bourgeois were unsuccessful.
Another specific point in the audit Larpenter said he wants the legislative auditor to review is $13,000 Bourgeois withdrew from the Sheriff's Office, claiming he was owed it for unused vacation pay over four years.
In Terrebonne Parish, sheriffs are not required to work a certain amount of hours a year, so they do not have set vacation time, Larpenter said.
In the work-order form Bourgeois filed June 25, before he left office, he requested $16,133. After taxes, that brought it to a net value of $13,595. On Bourgeois' last day in office, bookkeeper Patricia Mouton approved the work order, writing the following statement: "Spoke to Ms. Hope, she stated that he told her he spoke to other sheriffs and that he could get the vacation time. She said to pay out, and if he was not suppose (sic) to get the time, it would be on him. She was doing what he asked her to do."
Hope Brunet is the Sheriff's Office's chief financial deputy.
In his letter to auditors, Larpenter said such a payout would be reviewed by his legal counsel as well. He wrote that his counsel will also review the Louisiana Workforce contract, as well as the following issues:
n Equipment and fuel expenditures during the filming of "Cajun Justice" and possible payroll violations.
Deputies who appeared on the A&E Network show based on Bourgeois, his office and its cases, were paid by the show's producers while on the Sheriff's Office clock, the audit alleges. Additionally, the Sheriff's Office may not have received adequate compensation for the use of its equipment and resources.
n Compensating employees for time worked. Counsel has been consulting with the state and federal departments of labor about this issue, Larpenter wrote.
n The audit alleges that Bourgeois received a $600 clothing allowance to which he wasn't entitled every year, or $2,400 in total. Other Sheriff's Office employees allegedly did the same.
"It appears provisions of the Internal Revenue Service may have been violated," Larpenter wrote. As a result, he has requested his counsel to consult with the IRS about this.
In general, the rest of Larpenter's letter to auditors says he will simply fix the concerns raised by returning to the policies he had in place when he was sheriff the two decades before Bourgeois.
For example, Bourgeois issued 56 credit cards to employees, but Larpenter has brought the number of credit cards back the original amount he kept while he was sheriff — three, he wrote.
"It is my belief" that the issues raised in the audit "were the result of a lack of oversight by the previous administration," Larpenter wrote.
