Oceans: Threat and Management
© WWF / Cat HOLLOWAY
Why are oceans important?
Ocean water and ice make up almost 98 percent of all the water on Earth. The oceans are home to innumerable species that we are now only beginning to discover.
To know more about their world and to understand why there is such concern about threat to oceans, visit the website. Take a look at the oceans and seas along the meridian, their importance to man, the diversity of wildlife that inhabit these waters, and some important conservation issues.
Overfishing threatens marine biodiversity
According to a Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimate, over 70% of the world's fish species are either fully exploited or depleted. The dramatic increase of destructive fishing techniques worldwide destroys marine mammals and entire ecosystems.
FAO reports that illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing worldwide appears to be increasing as fishermen seek to avoid stricter rules in many places in response to shrinking catches and declining fish stocks. Find out more about this threat here.
Nuclear waste threaten our oceans
When humans step in, the threat to the natural habitat comes not only from their actions but also from the after-effects of it. There is a real threat from nuclear waste leading to radioactivity, and now it has been reported that radioactive lobsters are found in the Irish Sea!
Impact of increased CO₂ in the oceans
According to a UNESCO report, about 20-25 million tons of CO₂ are being added to the oceans each day. This unprecedented amount of CO₂ absorption will lead to increase in acidity of the water and will threaten the survival of many marine species.
This development in turn could disrupt marine food chains and alter ocean biogeochemistry in ways that are not yet understood or predictable. Such dramatic changes have not been observed for more than 20 million years of earth's history. These are some of the startling observations made at a world symposium. For a full report go to this page.
Ocean Rescue: A WWF initiative to save oceans
The WWF initiative to save oceans is called Ocean Rescue. The aim is the creation of stable marine networks that encompass 100 marine protected areas worldwide. For a comprehensive overview of the world's oceans and the threat to them go to this website. The main features and the links are a good starting point to understand the complex issue and see the precious marine life that WWF is working hard to save.
Threatened Oceans mean threatened Corals
Along with the ocean water, a high percentage of the world's coral reefs are at risk of degradation. High acidity in the ocean water caused by pollution, oil spillages, sedimentation and disturbances to habitats are threatening the wonderful world of the coral reefs. However in some cases, due to early warning, concrete steps are being taken to manage such threats.
Measures include planning, management, law enforcement, environmental education, and legal protection to restricting development in sensitive coastal areas Australia's Great Barrier Reef, the largest reef in the world, illustrates the potential of careful reef management.

I was there. The first thing that I remember is how blistering the heat was. The layout was similar but not as accomidating. Not as much artwork, shade was at a premium, and water lines were long. That being said, the music was amazing!! Tool and Rage both tore it up, even though Zack had laryngitis. Pavement was a mess, they were all wasted and they sounded like shit. I wasn't into electronic music yet so I missed out on some stuff I wish I would have seen. When I left that year, I had no idea that the fest would become such an important part of my life. Once they shifted it to April I knew I was going to be a "lifer" and I haven't missed one yet. Never will BTW. Oh, the memories!!
COACHELLA- 99, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12 (wk 1 & 2), 13 (wk 1 &2), 14 (wk 1 & 2), 15(wk 1&2), 16 (wk 1&2)
I still wear my Terry Cloth hat from Artist Direct every year. Easy to stuff in my pocket when the sun goes down.
I feel the same way about mine as IvanKay on page 1.
It's a part of my Coachella life!

Check out my Coachella pictures at Flickr.com under AJVaughn.com. Other art work there also!
There are multiple Coachella sets from previous years on Flickr if you follow the link below.
^Coachella Brother.
We have gone every year-probably because the first one was fantastic. My oldest daughter got me to go-we have always gone to shows-and so off we went. I would have to say the Chemical Bros. were awesome-I had never seen/heard anything like it! It seemed like they were communicating with aliens!!! And the desert night sky was incredible. so we have not missed a day since and have brought along other kids each year.
(Granted I almost gave up on GV because I had to wait an extra year, but when Jane's was announced for 01 I fell in love all over again. )
I was there, or i mean here. i moved to Indio from orange county, now i live right next to the polo grounds.
Yes I am a proud veteran of all 11 Coachellas. After a dismal trip to Woodstock 99 my friends and I took a chance and did a road trip out to Coachella in October of that year.
Attending my 12 Coachella in April.
my bro & i were at the first one. i was 19 at the time, he called me up one summer & asked if i wanted to see Rage w/ Tool & DJ Shadow & a bunch of other bands... that was enough to sell me on it, but i still think the line-up stands as the best Coachella's ever put together. we vowed that weekend that we would be back again if they ever had it, and we haven't missed one since...
every day, every year
love this thread!
FRIDAY: Yeah Yeah Yeahs / Modest Mouse / Jurassic 5 / Passion Pit / Beach House / Metric / Wolfgang Gartner / Aesop Rock / Jaime XX / Dillon Francis

2007 - 2008 - 2009 - 2010 - 2011 - 2012 - 2013
The best part of 99 was arriving there and having no idea what to expect. It was by far my favorite year.
Crazy hot though since it was in October. I was watching Bis and happened to turn around just in time to see some guy smiling behind me. Then his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground. I imagine there was a lot that the first year.
We didn't have digital cameras like we do now so pictures are harder to post. It was rad though.
I officially hate this message board now.
Just wanted to give a big shout of thanks to all you 99ers out there! Thanks to you the festival gained traction which made it possible for all of us to get out to the desert as well.
I've been going ever year since 2002, except 2004 when I was out of the country. This will be my 9th Coachella and the friends I've made and the music I've seen have made me who I am. I owe you all a debt of gratitude, as well as Goldenvoice of course.
Keep posting your stories please, I'm loving living vicariously.
And if anyone has crowd pics of any of the early years I'm sure we'd all love to see how things have changed.
Have to bump this.

Mlant, this goes back to 2009...hehe
I was theeeeere!...I took the city Sunbus bus from Palm Springs and got off in Indio at Highway 111 because the driver said "the polo fields is just down the street".......well, I kept walking and walking (with NO water) and finally got to the entrance what seemed like HOURS later...Bought 2 waters (wheww!!) and a ticket at the box office (50 bux? ) and remember seeing Bis and Cornelius early on....Spiritualized (woowwww) later on and finishing with Morrissey , The Chemical Brothers and Beck......just remember smoking a HUGE joint during The Chem Bros and losing my f-ing mind!! I think its still on the grounds there somewhere... Only went Saturday and didnt go again til 2003 , but have been every year since.
I was there both days, it was empty compared to the Coachella we know and love today - line up was great. We had our heads so far up our asses about how far it was we drove in and out both days for the show.
Coachella 99, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 07, 09, 10, 11, 12 (wknd 1), 13 (wknd 1), 14 (wknd 1)
i waaas there! it was so hot. people were sleeping under the bathroom trailers just to get shade. believe it or not, perry ferral killed it on the main stage, chemical brothers, beck, underworld all amazing. one of the best sets was seeing kool keith in a small and nearly empty tent. liked how the fields were laid out....different entrance, different are for the main and side stages, tents seemed smaller, no lines for anything, would be great to only have 30,000 people show up!

Gov. Tom Corbett said Thursday that he probably would agree to meet with investigators as part of state Attorney General-elect Kathleen Kane's promised probe of that office's handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse case.
HARRISBURG (AP) — Gov. Tom Corbett said Thursday that he probably would agree to meet with investigators as part of state Attorney General-elect Kathleen Kane's promised probe of that office's handling of the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse case.
"If I believe it's a political game, no. If I believe that they want to know exactly what was going on when I was there and my thought process, sure," Corbett told reporters.
The topic of Kane's planned investigation cropped up during a year-end interview of Corbett by reporters from several news organizations.
Corbett was attorney general when the state took over the investigation of Sandusky in early 2009 and continued through his 2010 election campaign. He had been governor for nearly a year when the ex-Penn State assistant football coach was charged in November 2011.
The Republican governor's political adversaries have repeatedly suggested that he stretched out the investigation to ensure that it did not become public during the campaign and — theoretically — prompt Penn State loyalists to vote against him.
Sandusky, once a nationally renowned sports figure, was convicted in June on 45 counts of sexually abusing boys. He is serving a 30- to 60-year prison term.
Kane, who once specialized in child sex-abuse cases as a Lackawanna County prosecutor, vowed to launch an investigation into why it took 33 months to bring Sandusky to justice. She ran on the issue in her campaign to become the state's first woman and first Democrat to be elected attorney general.
Kane, who has not spelled out details about her planned investigation, did not immediately respond to a request for comment relayed Thursday through her campaign spokesman.
Corbett has said he would have filed charges in mid-2010 if investigators had enough victims willing to testify against Sandusky. He reiterated Thursday that he never played politics with the investigation and said he would tell Kane's investigators the same thing.
"I guess the question is, 'Did I tell (state investigators) to do something they shouldn't do?'" he said. If "they want to ask me that question, come and ask. And I'll tell you right now: 'No.' Why would I do that?"

HIV: Not a punishment, not justice, just a disease
Sometimes bishops say the stupidest things. Of course so do journalists and presidents and moms and teachers and everyone else, but jeez. What on earth possessed the primate of Belgium, Archbishop Andre-Joseph Leonard of Bruges, to suggest once again, 30 years into the HIV/AIDS epidemic, that this disease is somehow nature's retribution against sinners?
In his own words, as published in a recent book and reported by the Associated Press: "When you mistreat the environment it ends up mistreating us in turn. And when you mistreat human love, perhaps it winds up taking vengeance." And later: "All I'm saying is that sometimes there are consequences linked to our actions," the archbishop said, saying of AIDS, "this epidemic is a sort of intrinsic justice."
It's not that I'm against talking about the possible consequences of sexual behavior--and HIV infection is one of them. But to suggest that a terrible disease that is ravaging the women and children of Africa especially is a kind of "intrinsic justice" is to speak blasphemously by suggesting that God is somehow the author of this nightmare. It is an exceedingly cruel thing to say to those with the disease, and shows great ignorance about who HIV/AIDS affects and how it is transmitted.
I argued in my December 2008 column that the church needs to rethink it's HIV prevention strategy, deploying good science to complement good teaching about the meaning and purpose of human sexuality. I'm not sure I have the right answers either, but I for one do not serve a God who punishes people with insidious retroviral bioweapons. Enough with this clumsy theological nonsense.

* UBS job cuts part of 3.4 bln Sfr cost-cut programme
* Shares up over 5 pct after 7.3 pct jump on Monday
* Job losses mostly in Switzerland, United States, Britain
* UBS pledges 50 pct payout ratio after measures
* Q3 net loss of 2.172 bln Sfr vs Reuters poll 457 mln Sfr
* UBS flags Q4 net loss amid revamp, own debt charges
ZURICH, Oct 30 (Reuters) - UBS unveiled plans on Tuesday to wind down its fixed income business and fire 10,000 bankers, as it adapts to tougher capital rules that make it more difficult for investment banks to turn a profit since the financial crisis.
Zurich-based UBS will focus on its private bank and a smaller investment bank, ditching much of the trading business that ran up $50 billion in losses in the financial crisis, as well as a $2.3 billion hit, which trader Kweku Adoboli, now on trial on charges of fraud and false accounting, is accused of running up.
Chief Executive Sergio Ermotti, a former Merrill Lynch and UniCredit banker who took over after the Adoboli affair last year, is leading the three-year overhaul, which is aimed at saving 3.4 billion Swiss francs ($3.6 billion), on top of existing spending cuts of 2 billion francs.
Former investment bank co-head Carsten Kengeter will lead the isolation and winding down of its fixed-income activities that are no longer profitable as a result of tougher capital rules on riskier business introduced after the crisis.
The remaining investment bank - equities, foreign exchange trading, corporate advice, and precious metals trading - will be run by Andrea Orcel, a recent Ermotti hire from Bank of America who had co-ran the unit with Kengeter until Tuesday.
``This decision has been hard but it is necessary to create a UBS that is fit for the future,'' Ermotti said. ``The business model we are creating will be unique in the banking industry.''
The measures translate to a 15 percent staff cut, taking UBS's overall staff to 54,000, from 63,745 now, already down from a 2007 peak of 83,500 as banks have shed tens of thousands of jobs globally since the financial crisis of 2008.
Of the job cuts, 2,000 will be front-office investment banking staff, the revenue generators. About 2,500 positions will go in Switzerland, slightly more than that in the United States, and the rest in Britain, Ermotti said.
UBS stopped dozens of fixed income traders from entering its London offices on Tuesday, a source at the bank said.
Some staff turned up to work to find their employee cards no longer worked at the turnstile and were then escorted to human resources, according to various sources with knowledge of the situation.
Once at human resources, they received their personal items in a bag with a letter saying they would have two weeks paid leave, after which they were to return to pick up their redundancy package, the sources said.
A smaller investment bank will leave UBS focused on its private bank, which looks after the affairs of the wealthy. With 1.6 trillion francs in assets, it is the second-largest operation of its kind in the world after Bank of America.
UBS shares, which soared 7.3 percent on Monday in anticipation of the announcement, were up another 5 percent at 13.79 francs by 1050 GMT in exceptionally heavy trading, their highest since July 2011, compared with a 0.7 percent rise for the European bank sector index.
UBS, which took a government bailout in 2008 after more than $50 billion in mortgage losses, is effectively admitting that an attempt to crack the fixed-income big league has failed.
Deutsche Bank said on Tuesday it hopes to benefit from the UBS cuts as its investment bank delivered record third-quarter sales and trading revenue.
But some analysts said other banks might be forced to follow suit even though the UBS strategy was risky.
``While other banks like CS are still sticking to their investment banks, which do not even earn their cost of equity, UBS takes the lead in responding adequately to investors' demands,'' said Sarasin analyst Rainer Skierka.
Credit Suisse said last week it was also cutting more costs to boost its profits and capital but did not announce the same kind of radical restructuring as UBS.
After settling a damaging U.S. tax probe in 2009, UBS had just started to rebuild client confidence when the $2.3 billion trading scandal surfaced in September last year.
Adoboli, who worked on the bank's London-based exchange-traded equities funds desk, has pleaded not guilty to two counts of fraud and four of false accounting.
Ermotti's overhaul comes against a backdrop of far tougher regulation on riskier securities trading activities, and represents a return to advisory roots stemming from UBS's purchase of Warburg, a British merchant bank, in 1995.
The bank aims to pay out more than 50 percent of profits to shareholders from 2015, after paying its first post-crisis dividend last year, a modest 0.10 francs a share. It has put away funds in the third quarter for an unspecified dividend this year, financial chief Tom Naratil told journalists.
The costs related to the investment banking split will also lead to a fourth-quarter and full-year loss, when taken together with charges on the bank's own debt, UBS said.
The private bank also faces challenges, with profits falling as Swiss banking secrecy is weakened by repeated demands from foreign governments determined to recoup tax on undeclared funds held in offshore accounts.
However, the unit secured 7.7 billion francs in net new money from clients in the third quarter, which represents the highest result in a third quarter - typically a slow one for the business due to summer holidays - in five years.
UBS swung to a third-quarter net loss of 2.172 billion francs, hit by the restructuring charges and 863 million francs written off the value of its own debt. Analysts in a Reuters poll had forecast a net profit of 457 million francs.
UBS is aiming to reduce risk-weighted assets to below 200 billion francs by the end of 2017, from 301 billion currently. Of this the investment bank will account for roughly 70 billion francs, less than half of what it accounts for today.

Kernel Cousin KDE #36 Is Out
Kernel Cousin KDE #36 is out and as the KDE developers are working on polishing up the project for a new major release, there is lots of news from the mailing lists. This issue covers media streams, wallpapers, KOffice and of course the nearing KDE 3.0 release.
good issue
I love these development updates, but this one doesn't seem to have any links to the archived threads. Oops, I guess they were forgotten. Very important feature.

hrm. they were included in the xml, but got lost somewhere in the xml -> html parsing ... will look into this. thanks for noticing.

KOffice! Woo hoo!
Alright, good to see development is going on again. But I'd like to ask, now that GIMP is definetly going to have modular interfaces, why continue developing Krayon? GIMP has thousands of devel hours behind it, and it's really up to about the level of power as Photoshop (no easy task). The only real reason it hasn't been a KDE app is the Gtk interface, right? Or am I missing something?

Re: KOffice! Woo hoo!
There was KDE interface but it was controversial because of license. Otherwise do it yourself.

Re: KOffice! Woo hoo!
To clarify, one of the early KDE developers ported Gimp to KDE (before 2.x), at least to a functional point. One or more of the Gimp developers got really upset, and the ethical thing in the KDE developers mind was to discontinue the port. Personally, I agree with his decision, but I would have checked with the other Gimp developers to see how they felt. The "legally allowed" thing is not always the right thing to do, and the moral judgement not to "steal" someone elses code, even GPLed code, was understandable.
To the Gimp developers credit, I believe this was before Qt was GPL, so they had a right to their opinion that led to their objections.

So what is stopping a Kimp now?
By reihal at Tue, 2002/03/26 - 6:00am
Re: KOffice! Woo hoo!
I think it would be a VERY important step adding this HIGH quality soft to KDE.
Anyway I think it's easier adding the KDE widgets to the modular GIMP than continuing developing Krayon. But, of course, I might be wrong :-) I don't want anybody to be annoyed.

Re: KOffice! Woo hoo!
Krayon probably will support Gimp plugins in te future (if it doesn't doe it already)

Re: Gimp
After using Photoshop, Corel Draw/photopaint and psp. Gimp seems to suport everything and more as features go, but look at the GUI the desine of the main program and you tend to see holes. if say I wanted to load up two pictures from the filemaneger Gimp would be loaded twice, instead of putting some code in to pass the information along to the already open gimp and kill it's self off. as for the GUI well three of four windows each of them it's own proccess it's slightly confusing, even if they just hid the other ones from the KDE Bar it would make me happy.
personaly I prefare GIMP and would love it even more if some of these 'features' were cleaned up. but we can't be perfect I supose.

Re: Gimp
You can open files with "gimp-remote -n" instead "gimp". That way, if an instance of Gimp is running when you open a file, the file will open in the existing Gimp process. Otherwise, Gimp is started as usual.

Will there be future relieses?

Re: KOffice! Woo hoo!
Yes, the gimp is a cool program with a bad interface. A kde based gui that looks and behaves like photoshop's gui qould be wonderfull. Support for the vector stuff from corel draw would be nice to. Right now I have to have two programs open to do work with mixed vector and bitmap graphics. Why can't the gimp and a vector graphics app merge.
Waring: I really have no idea what I am talking about since I spend most of my time programming. I only touch graphics apps to do small stuff that I do not feel like bothering our graphics department for.
By theorz at Tue, 2002/03/26 - 6:00am
Re: KOffice! Woo hoo!
Well, I generally don't like MDI apps... but... photoshop 5/6's interface is about 2000x better than GIMP's.
GIMP with krayon's interfaced (abiet.. fixed up a bit), or krayon with GIMP's features would be great.
Also, the GIMP doesn't begin to compare with Photoshop yet for any serious production work (uhm, cmyk, proper color matching, vector tools, easy to use scripting system).
By fault at Tue, 2002/03/26 - 6:00am
Re: KOffice! Woo hoo!
Eh? Not for any serious production work? No, not for print work (like you said, no cmyk or color matching) but for web work, photo touchups, render postproduction, etc, it's fine. It doesn't need vector tools, because it's not a vector app, it's a bitmapping app. And it does support Perl, which is a really pretty easy and powerful scripting system, if you know the language.
By Carbon at Tue, 2002/03/26 - 6:00am
The world of the web
is one where people pay 1500$ for an OS and "office suite" and then 500-600$ for Photoshop, 200$ for DreamWeaver and 2000K for there computer.
I.E> they pay 5K so they can make web pages ... you have to hope they are ***really*** productive and/or their pages look ***really*** good.

Saturday marked the fourth straight day Valparaiso got a strong pitching performance in the 2010 Horizon League Baseball Championship presented by U.S. Army, but for the second time in the tournament the Crusaders suffered a 3-1 loss to Milwaukee at U. S. Steel Yard in Gary, eliminating the Brown and Gold from the championship.
Tyler Deetjen (Saint Charles, Ill./East H.S.) went 6.2 innings scattering just four hits and allowing three runs, only two of which were earned, but suffered the loss (3-4) as the Panthers' Kyle Schmidt was just as strong, working 6.2 innings and allowing one run and six hits while striking out three. He did not get a decision though.
Milwaukee scored in the opening inning without the benefit of a hit. Cole Kraft led off the bottom of the first being hit by a pitch and advanced to second on a passed ball. A sacrifice bunt by Shaun Wegner moved him along to third, and he scored on a groundout by Dan Buchholz.
The game settled into a pitcher's dual as Deetjen battled Schmidt pitch for pitch. Deetjen needed just 47 pitches to get through the sixth inning, but the Crusaders still trailed 1-0.
Valpo tied the game in the top of the seventh. Karch Kowalczyk (Peru, Ill./La Salle-Peru H.S.) laced a two-out double to the gap in left-center. Steven Scoby (Delton, Mich./Delton H.S.) followed ripping a double to the gap in right-center, plating Kowalczyk and tying the game at one. Kyle Muhlsteff (Yorba Linda, Calif./Esperanza H.S.) appeared to give the Crusaders the lead with a double inside the bag at third, but it was called foul. Milwaukee brought in Greg Blahowiak with a 1-2 count on Muhlsteff and got him to fly to right, ending the inning knotted at one.
"That play definitely changed the game, but there is nothing you can do about it," head coach Tracy Woodson said. "Deetjen pitched just great and we had some more chances late, but couldn't push across any more runs."
With two outs and runners on the corners in the bottom of the seventh, the Panthers retook the lead. Nino Guerrero hit a ball deep in the hole at short that Muhlsteff fielded and made a bang bang throw to first, but Guerrero was called safe allowing Buchholz score. Following a walk to Doug Dekoning, to load the bases, Jonathan Capasso also drew a free pass, forcing home Sam Sivilotti and making it 3-1 Milwaukee.
The Crusaders threatened in the eighth, as Kyle Gaedele (Arlington Heights, Ill./Rolling Meadows H.S.) singled, advanced to second on a groundout, and stole third when Robbie Robinson (Brea, Calif./Olinda H.S.) walked. Bo McClendon (Chesterton, Ind./Merrillville H.S.), pinch running for Robinson, stole second to put two runners in scoring position with two outs. Panther closer Cameron Amsrud struck out Hagel to end the threat. Valpo put two runners on in the ninth as well, but a game-ending double play allowed Amsrud to earn his eighth save of the year.
Greg Blahowiak earned the win (2-0) for Milwaukee (31-24), which moves on to face Wright State for the Horizon League title.
Gaedele, Will Hagel (Arlington Heights, Ill./Prospect H.S.), and Scoby each had two hits for the Brown and Gold, which finished the game with eight. Buchholz was the only Panther with two hits.
Valparaiso (24-32) sees its season end with the third place finish in the tournament.
"We saw a lot of positives in this tournament to build upon for next year," Woodson concluded.

Where are our priorities in South Carolina? To further explain please read the following:
"Earlier cuts took away money for school buses, and the latest round couldn't completely protect schools. They will lose money for gifted and talented classes, along with other programs funded by the Education Improvement Act.
The biggest cuts were $76.6 million to the Department of Health and Human Services, $23.6 million for the Department of Mental Health and $21.5 million to the Department of Disabilities and Special Needs.
Specific cuts already announced include money for adoption services, sex-offender monitoring, advocacy efforts for disabled residents and programs that serve children with autism and those with spinal cord injuries.
Higher education loses a combined $123 million, or an average of 15 percent at each institution." Yvonne Wegner, Post and Courier, October 31st.
Budget cuts for gifted and talented classes? health and human services? mental health? sex offender monioting? What is the SC legislature thinking? The bigger question is what are they not cutting and why? Please Obama get us out of this economical downfall!!!!

Intellectual Property - Preamble
1.1. It is the policy of Clarkson University (the "University") to encourage creativity and inventiveness in its faculty, staff, and students. By providing facilities, equipment, information, resources, and personnel, and by obtaining external support from public and private sources, the University strives to create an environment fostering the interests of the academic community. The University wishes to offer its faculty, staff, and students incentives to develop scholarly and creative works and other intellectual property which can be used for the good of the University and the public at large.
1.2. The objectives of this Policy are to:
- promote the publication of scholarly works and the discovery of new inventions;

4.3. The University may make suitable arrangements not inconsistent with the provisions of this Policy with agencies or firms for the purpose of obtaining services and advice with respect to the patentability of inventions, obtaining patent or copyright protection, and management and commercialization of Intellectual Property.
4.4.

The costs of obtaining legal protection for the University's Intellectual Property shall be paid by the University, or by sponsors where appropriate.
4.5. In cases where the University has not obtained legal protection for its Intellectual Property and has elected to transfer ownership to the Creator, the Creator may place the Intellectual Property in the public domain without obligation to the University. The University will maintain a file of its Intellectual Property dedicated to the public domain and will arrange for copies to be available to the public through the Educational Resources Center.
Distribution of Income from Commercialization of Intellectual Property
5.1. It is the general policy of the University to encourage the commercialization of Intellectual Property resulting from the scientific or educational endeavors of its Members.
5.2. In recognition of the efforts and contributions of Creators who develop Intellectual Property owned by the University, the University will share income derived from its commercialization with the Creators in accordance with the following guidelines.
5.2.1. From gross income derived from the commercialization of its Intellectual Property (whether from sale, licensing, royalties, or otherwise), the University will retain enterprise expenses in an amount equal to the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the legal protection, development promotion, marketing, and licensing of the Intellectual Property, and any other direct costs associated with its commercialization.
5.2.2. The balance (the "Net Income") shall be distributed as follows:
25% to the University To help defray costs of managing the Intellectual Property program generally.
50% to the Creator(s) Joint Creators shall determine in writing what percentage of the Creators' share of Income shall be allocated to the respective Creators. See 3.2.2.
25 % to the Creator(s)' For the benefit of the Creator(s) School or appropriate comparable unit from sub-unit, typically the department, with half of this amount which the Intellectual for the direct benefit of the Creator(s)' research program for Property emanated as long as he/she is an active researcher within the University.
In the case of Intellectual Property supported by two or more organizational units of the University, this portion of the Net Income shall be allocated and made available to the appropriate school, department, or comparable unit on an equitable basis as determined by the Director, Sponsored Research Services.
Further sub-allocation of this portion of the Net Income for the Creator(s)' school or comparable unit may be made by the Director, Sponsored Research Services for specific purposes or programs of the school or comparable unit.
5.2.3. The above guidelines are subject to certain pre-existing and ongoing requirements ("Requirements") affecting income from and license or other rights in various categories of Intellectual Property, including Requirements relating to Intellectual Property
(a) "created or developed at, or through the use of, the facilities of" the Center for Advanced Materials Processing in accordance with Section 23 of New York State Laws of 1987, Chapter 839, and any agreement between the University and the New York State Urban Development Corporation ("UDC") pursuant to that legislation; and
(b) resulting from research partially or totally supported by funds from The NASA Center for Commercial Crystal Growth in Space or from others, as set forth in NASA Policy statements including a document entitled "Intellectual Property Rights - CCDS Program."
Unless the terms of the Requirement provide otherwise, Net Income for purposes of this Policy shall exclude all amounts payable to UDC, to NASA, or to others as required by any such Requirement.
5.3. The provisions of this Policy dealing with the distribution of income shall apply only to income received from Intellectual Property disclosed to the University subsequent to the effective date of this Policy.
Administration of Intellectual Property Policy
6.1. Responsibility for all Intellectual Property matters, including the interpretation and administration of this Policy, shall rest with the Sponsored Research Services in consultation with an Intellectual Property Committee.

When Bill Gaston got into the tree-trimming business as a teenager, he didn't realize he was building the foundation for two family-run companies that eventually would aid disaster relief efforts across the country and fuel the county's future power plant.
When Bill Gaston got into the tree trimming business as a teenager, he didn't realize he was building the foundation for, not one, but two family-run companies that eventually would aid disaster relief efforts across the country and fuel the county's future power plant.
Gaston, now 62, began doing part-time tree care work when he was 17 years old and later started Gaston's Tree Service in 1971 at age 21. He said he hadn't realized he was establishing a business for himself until someone told him he had a good business and he asked, "I do?"
"You start out just trying to make a living," he said.
Four decades later, his son Shawn runs Gaston's Tree Service, while Gaston heads Wood Resource Recovery — a vegetation recycling company that sprouted from his original operation. His younger brother, Levin, serves as the company's chief operating officer, and Gaston's wife, Faye, serves as the companies' chief financial officer. Other family members have helped out over the years, as well, including Gaston's daughters, who did administrative work there while they were in school.
Together, the two companies — both based in Gainesville — employ about 30 people, Gaston said.
Levin Gaston, 58, worked with his brother off and on over the years and now helps run Wood Resource Recovery.
"A lot of brothers I know express to me their envy that they're not able to work with their families, that they don't get to see their families," Levin said. "And it's been real good for me and Bill."
Gaston entered the recycling industry out of necessity after the disposal of yard debris in landfills was banned. Running a tree service company generates a lot of that material, and opening Wood Resource Recovery in 1985 provided a way to personally manage it. This has helped the company hold costs down for customers over the years.
"Everybody benefits by taking this material and recycling it," he said.
The recycling company gives tree service companies such as Gaston's Tree Service a place to dump their debris. "I like to say our competitors become our customers," he said.
The company processes the material into landscape mulch it can sell or fuel wood it can deliver to biomass power plants that use it to generate electricity. It also receives yard waste from the joint Alachua County and city of Gainesville curbside collection program.
In addition to providing a destination for local yard waste, Wood Resource Recovery also does contract work for disaster relief around the nation.
It helped clean up the Alachua County area after the 2004 hurricanes, moving about 565,000 cubic yards of debris during those efforts. One hundred cubic yards of such debris weighs about 20 tons.
Most recently, the company spent almost two months removing debris generated by Hurricane Sandy from the New York City borough of Queens and might do some more mop-up work there soon. It also has helped clean up communities after ice storms and tornadoes.
Wood Resource Recovery has contracts with several companies that request assistance shortly before a disaster hits, providing a brief window of time to mobilize, he said. It also hires its own subcontractors to help remove debris from the community and haul it away.
Staff have used cranes to lift trees off of homes and power lines and operated in places that often were still without power or basic amenities.
"It's like a military operation," Gaston said. "We're totally self-sustainable."
Depending on the level of the disaster, Wood Resource Recovery workers might need to bring food and water supplies as well as RVs to serve as temporary housing for staff.
"It's extremely tough. We work seven days a week, 12 hours a day," he said. "People want their life back to normal as quickly as possible."
Back home at Wood Resource Recovery's Alachua County recycling site, trucks piled high with tree limbs navigate the dirt path between hulking mounds of mulch and vegetation throughout the day.
They dump their own material onto the pile, heading out as other trucks stop at the weigh station where their hauls are assessed.
Discarded Christmas trees are visible beneath clumps of dirt and leaves around this time of year. Cranes pluck thick stumps from one mound and add them to a stockpile of material the company is collecting for the Gainesville biomass plant, scheduled to go online in late 2013. It already has amassed about 150,000 tons of inventory for the plant.
Wood Resource Recovery has a long-term biomass supply contract with the Gainesville Renewable Energy Center (GREC) — the largest contract the company has ever had. It will supply almost half of the biomass plant's fuel, and it has plenty to spare. Locally, it processes about 100,000 tons of yard debris per year.
The company plans to expand its operation in the coming months, Gaston said. It has about eight sites in Florida and expects to have a total of 20 within the next two years.
Rick Scarborough, president and owner of Scarborough Insurance, which has served as the insurance agent for Gaston's businesses for at least two decades, said he has referred customers to them over the years.
"If there's ever a problem, they respond quickly, and they're proactive to keep problems from happening to start with," he said.
Shawn Gaston grew up around his father's business. Now 42, he serves as the chief operating officer of Gaston's Tree Service and has run the company for the past decade or so, having started out working there part time as a teenager. But when he joined the company after graduating high school, his father started him out on the field crews because he wanted his son to understand every facet of the business.
"You know, obviously coming out of high school, the fact that somebody could be paid to climb trees was just unbelievable to me," Shawn Gaston said.
He said he loves the industry he's in, and most of the work Gaston's Tree Service does is for steady customers or people who have been referred to them by others, he said.
Shawn Gaston has two daughters — Morgan, 13, and Madison, 11 — whom he would welcome into the family business if they were to decide they want to get involved when they're older. He said he knew early on that he wanted to join the family business.
"Watching my father work so hard for everything he had really made a huge impression on me and gave me a strong work ethic," he said. "Some people want to work with their fathers, and some people don't. It's just something I always wanted to do."

Me? I feel like a bit of a failure this week. I've had twins with chicken pox, and it's been a nasty bout. Nastier than it was with my older two children. My twins spent most of one day crying over the state of each other. To them, looking at each other was like looking in a mirror and upsetting themselves. They've been sore and itchy, and hot and cold, and very uncomfortable.
There's not been a lot I could do really. They don't like the calamine cream, and are sick of lukewarm baths. I'm exhausted. We got through the week but not without dubious amounts of Calpol, a lot of tears and some falling out. And not just with the children.
Anyway, if you want some reassurance that you're doing alright really, come and link up and we'll all come and give you our sympathies.

^_^'s "hmm" Aristocrats Joke
A family walks into a talent agency. It's a father, mother, son, daughter and dog. The father says to the talent agent, "We have a really amazing act. You should represent us."
The agent says, "Sorry, I don't represent family acts. They're a little too cute."
The mother says, "Sir, if you just see our act, we know you would want to represent us."
The agent says, "OK. OK. I'll take a look."

More Surveillance Can Make Us Less Safe
from the this-isn't-so-hard dept
With the attempted terror attack on Christmas, it appears that this focus on doing more surveillance rather than better security was a major part in "failing to connect the dots" that allowed the plot to get as far as it did. The EFF points us to a report noting that the reason why Abdulmutallab was allowed on an airplane into the US in the first place -- despite widespread warnings, was that there was a backlog in processing all the data:
Abdulmutallab never made it onto a no-fly list because there are simply too many reports of suspicious individuals being submitted on a daily basis, which causes the system to be "clogged" -- overloaded -- with information having nothing to do with Terrorism. As a result, actually relevant information ends up obscured or ignored.At what point do people realize that collecting more data doesn't make us more secure, and actually can do the opposite. As is pointed out at the Salon link above, the idea that you even can sacrifice liberty for security is wrong. The famous saying may say that you "deserve neither," but increasingly people are realizing that sacrificing liberty doesn't necessarily get you more security anyway.

Circumcision Reduces the Risk of HIV Infection by Half in Heterosexual Men
Africa is home to just 10% of the world's population but has a startling 67% of the world's cases of ]]>HIV/AIDS]]> . And the rates of new infection continue to rise—2.8 million new cases of HIV were reported in sub-Saharan Africa in 2006, up from 2.6 million in 2004 (in North America, the rate of new cases was 43,000 in both 2004 and 2006).
In the 1980s, researchers noticed that HIV was less common in African cultures where men were routinely circumcised, while men living in the regions hardest hit by HIV were not circumcised. Further observations suggested that circumcision reduces the risk of HIV infection. This theory was recently tested in three randomized, controlled trials conducted in Uganda, South Africa, and Kenya. All three reported significant drops in rates of HIV infection among men who were circumcised, compared with men who were not. The findings were so dramatic that the trials were stopped early so the men in the control groups could be offered circumcision.
The largest of these trials, reported in the February 24, 2007 Lancet, involved 5,000 uncircumcised men in Uganda. Half of the men were circumcised, while the other half served as controls. After two years of follow-up, the rate of HIV infection was 51%-60% lower among the men who were circumcised.
About the Study
Scientists from Johns Hopkins University teamed up with researchers at several sites in Uganda to recruit uncircumcised, HIV-negative, heterosexual men, aged 15-49, for this study. Half of the men (2,474) were circumcised at the start of the study, while the other half (2,522) remained uncircumcised as the control group. The initial screening included a physical exam, HIV test, and questions about HIV-related behaviors. Exams and interviews were repeated six weeks into the study, as well as 6, 12, and 24 months later. Researchers compared the number of men who contracted HIV in the two groups.
After 24 months, the rate of HIV infection was significantly lower among circumcised men regardless of marital status, education, age, or risky sexual behaviors. The reductions in incidence ranged from 51%-60%, depending on the statistical analysis used. Eight percent of men who were circumcised reported side effects, most of which were mild and resolved with treatment.
In the South African study, men aged 18-24 were randomly assigned to be circumcised (1,546 men) or to be in the control group (1,582 men). During 18 months of follow-up, there were 20 cases of HIV infection in the circumcised group and 49 cases in the control group, which translates to a 60% reduction in HIV infection associated with circumcision.
A similar design was used in the Kenyan trial, in which men aged 18-24 were assigned to either circumcision (1,391 men) or control (1,393 men). Over 24 months of follow-up, circumcision was linked to a 53%-60% reduction in risk of HIV infection. There were 22 cases of HIV in the circumcised group and 47 cases in the control group. Twenty of the circumcised men reported side effects, all of which were mild to moderate in severity and resolved quickly.
One caveat to these findings is the chance that stopping a trial early could overestimate the benefit of the intervention.
How Does This Affect You?
These three clinical trials in three different populations revealed profound benefits of circumcision in the reduction of HIV infection among heterosexual men. Assuming the 60% reduction in risk can be applied to the general population, an estimated 2 million new HIV infections and 300,000 deaths could be avoided over the next ten years if all men in sub-Saharan Africa are circumcised. Women will likely benefit as well; with fewer infected men, the rates of male-to-female transmission of HIV will decline.
Men who are circumcised should not interpret these findings as license to be less vigilant with other HIV-prevention measures. Circumcision does not provide complete protection and should be just one facet of a low-risk lifestyle that includes the following:
- Monogamy
- Condom use
- HIV testing and counseling
- Prompt diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections
- Avoidance of intravenous (IV) drug use

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can be managed clinically with nucleos(t)ide therapy, which suppresses viral replication; however, these drugs must often be used long term, as they are unable to fully eliminate the virus. For many patients, discontinuation of treatment results in viral resurgence and hepatic flare, and there is not a reliable way to identify those individuals that can be successfully taken off nucleos(t)ide therapy. In this issue of the JCI, Rivino and colleagues report on their use of a multipronged approach to investigate potential biomarkers indicative of HBV-infected patients who can safely stop nucleos(t)ide therapy. The authors identified a population of HBV-specific, PD1-positive T cells that was present in HBV-infected patients who successfully discontinued treatment without hepatic flare, but not in those that developed flare upon treatment cessation. Together, these results support the concept that PD1+ cells may play an important role in viral control, the further evaluation of this T cell subset in preventing hepatic flare, and the development of assays to better detect this PD1+ T cell population in HBV-infected patients on nucleos(t)ide therapy.

Beijing based fraternal pair Gao Brothers have been collaborating on nstallation, performance, sculpture, photography works and writing now for three decades and shocking museums around the world with their guerrilla tactic art, one such featuring an apologetic Chairman Mao on his knees with a detachable head. Exhibitions by the Gao brothers, whose work the authorities find politically challenging, have been shut down in the past, and their studio has been raided. So they keep the head of Mao hidden in a separate location — reuniting it with its body only on special occasions to show friends and colleagues. Normally, the body of the statue remains headless, unidentifiable and nonthreatening.

Visualization of Skull Base and Cranial Tumors
Tumors of the skull base in general are considered one of the more difficult head and neck pathological entities to treat surgically; some surgeons, in fact, consider lesions in this area inoperable. Proximity to vital structures such as cranial nerves, the eye and inner ear, major vascular structures to the brain, and the brain itself makes operating on this region extremely challenging, even for the "experts." In the past, injury to nearby vital structures led to unacceptable operative morbidity. Surgical mortality resulting from hemmorhage and sepsis was overwhelming. Only within the recent past has surgical treatment of lesions in this area become a reasonable alternative.
Merged CT and MRI Datasets
The safest and most appropriate surgical approach to lesions of the anterior and lateral skull base can be devised only with accurate and precise pre-operative assessment. The normal anatomy is complex, and relationships are often pathologically altered or changed by prior surgery. A surgeon commonly finds anatomical relationships that were not anticipated before surgical exposure.
Even current diagnostic capabilities such as magnetic resonance and high resolution thin-section computed tomography do not reveal relationships as extensively as surgical exposure. The precision still does not enable the surgeon to rely solely on information derived from imaging studies. Interoperative clinical assessment is essential. An interdisciplinary team of skull base and cranial surgeons, radiologists, and research and computer scientists are developing an interactive system for real-time manipulation of volumetric reconstructions from imaging studies, combining both computed tomography and magnetic resonance, including magnetic resonance angiography. This work includes developing a volume rendering system capable of real-time rendering of moderate 256(3) to high resolution 300(3)-500(3) volume data sets. The renderer can integrate volumetric and polygonal data so an image of a gloved hand and medical instruments can be seen with volumetric medical data. The system incorporates new techniques in volume deformation and rendering to ultimately drive haptic feedback to the gloved hand in a surgical simulation.
