WASHINGTON, D.C. — More than half (57 percent) of violent offenders who were released from state prison in 2016 served less than three years before their release, the Bureau of Justice Statistics has announced. About 1 in 25 violent offenders served 20 years or more before their release.
These findings are based on prisoner records from BJS's National Corrections Reporting Program and reflect 2016 releases. They are based on state prisoners' initial release after serving time for a given offense and exclude persons who had been released after serving time for an offense, returned to prison for violating community supervision and were released again.

Spam is the curse of the Internet age. When it's not someone trying to nick your identity or your money, it's someone trying to sell you something.
Now and again I'm happy to point you to someone else's blog. SEOMoz.org have brilliantly illustrated a spam post about how to sell your items on eBay.
Here's the whole blog post.

Am I truly in love?
We can't live without love and affection. It doesn't matter if you decide to fall in love in real or virtual life, you will have a fascinating experience in both of them. Of course, it is impossible to predict when you will fall in love or plan this in advance, since in most cases these things happen suddenly. An online dating can be the first step in that direction.
I'm in love. I can say it to the four winds and not get tired of it. I'm in love with an amazing girl I met online. But how did I found out that I was in love? How do you know when love starts to blossom?
We all seek someone special with whom we can share our love. If we have problems in our private life in reality, we often end up seeking more serious relationships in the virtual world. Everyone knows that online dating sites have gained immense popularity nowadays with people of all ages. And this is because it is very important for us to know that we have soul mates, which will constitute a large part of our lives. That's why online dating is the perfect solution for people who can't find their match in our troubled world.
The feeling you have when talking online is unforgettable. When you have just met a person on the internet, you are faced with many issues, such as what her personality is, her character, what her preferences are, and what kind of relationship that person is seeking. As time goes by, you will find out whether or not you like this person and if you want to meet her in real life.
Although online dating is fashionable nowadays, some people, however, find it almost impossible to find their soul mates on the internet. Despite this, nothing is impossible. If you sincerely believe that you have a chance to meet a person who will become close to you, then you can really benefit from using online dating services. In fact, there are many people who met their loved ones in the virtual world.
Online communication has both positive and negative aspects. One of the most common problems encountered by most people searching for a partner is how to differentiate between a real relationship and a virtual affection, which is usually temporary. The point is that when you date someone in real life, you can tell for sure if he or she is taking the relationship seriously. The same can't be said for sure when you communicate online. Not that people are unable to love online. It's just that it's harder to spot this from a distance.
To like, to fall in love or to be truly in love?
To like someone is to feel butterflies in your stomach, but to keep your feet on the ground. To like is to want to be together, but not to discard other opportunities. To like is to kiss, but from time to time, open your eyes discreetly to check the environment. To like is to hold strong, but not for too long. To like is to dedicate, but with limits imposed. To like is to have, but not to be yours. To like to want to sleep together, but wake up early the next day for other appointments.
To like is to go out, but go back to work on time. To like is to admire the qualities, but still notice the few or small defects. To like is walk hand in hand, but not feel safe. To like is to share your favorite chocolate, but still, stick with the big share.
To like is to spend Sunday together, but make crazy plans on Monday. To like is to take it seriously, but with the purpose of testing the weakness of the other. To like to go to go to each other's house, but with the status of still knowing each other. To like is to make plans, but not to exceed more than three days. To like is to travel, but to miss what has not yet ended.
After getting to know this person a little, attitudes and desires end up being completely uncontrollable. Passion is a feeling that disconcerts any rationality. Explicit emotions are the main hallmark of this sensation.
Falling in love with someone is synonymous of absolute surrender. "Wrongs" become "rights", the distance becomes closeness, the afternoon becomes early, the night becomes day, poverty becomes wealth, the cold becomes heat, the bad becomes good, hunger becomes homesickness, sleep becomes thoughts.
Falling in love with someone is getting yourself lost, or meeting yourself, in someone.
To fall in love is to feel the blood flowing in your veins and to feel shivers with simple touches. To fall in love is to discover any kind of joy in pain, it is to express through the eyes what words can't translate. Falling in love means losing important deadlines, schedules and tasks. To fall in love is to give yourself, to run against time, to allow yourself and without restrictions, to make the best you can be.
To fall in love is to go blind. And only after burning all the flames, try to calm down and do everything to keep all the flames burning.
To truly love someone is to live the present, to absorb the best of the past and to plan for the future. To truly love someone is to make dreams come true. To truly love someone is to care for that person, watch over her and protect her. To truly love someone is to have no doubts. To truly love someone is to turn a fight into a teaching. To truly love someone is to bond, have children, grow old side by side. To truly love someone is to resist all temptations, disagreements, crises, jealousies and selfishness. To truly love someone is to surprise, to give. To truly love someone is to make it clear how essential that person is, to say how much everything has changed. It is not to be ashamed of showing any affection.
To truly love someone is to be free. To truly love someone is to offer all our baggage of experiences, to know and to understand the other. To truly love someone is to make that person happy, to provide quiet nights of sleep, and to meet all her needs. To truly love someone is to reach out, support, counteract, but never give up.
To truly love someone is to let that person go, and still do everything for them to come back. To truly love someone is to be silent when you see that this love is no longer yours. To truly love someone is to be repetitive, both in tears that insist on running as and in recurring matters. To truly love someone is to forgive and give in.
To love is to give up, to lose all strength, but to keep on insisting.
The most notorious question, however, remains: Is it possible to truly love someone you met on the internet? It depends on you. First make this question to yourself. Do you love who the person really is, or do you love who you think she might be?
If you love her for what you think she is, this is absurd, which makes you confuse feelings, for you "love" a person you have designed and imagined to be, that is, what is not true reality. Now if you love who she really is, congratulations! You truly love her!
But how can you love that person with whom you have never had contact with? It's hard, but not impossible.
On the internet, everything will always be beautiful and wonderful... at first. People say they love each other really fast, without even thinking straight. I'm not saying that love someone online isn't possible, but is not instantaneous.
True love is born from the moment that defects and qualities are put together at the table, from which one can choose: "I know your faults and your qualities and I am willing to live the challenge of making it work".
Many people, trying not to lose that person, say to themselves: "I'm making an effort to make myself what she wants me to be".
So think about it. She doesn't love you for what you are. She "loves" someone she wants you to be, which comes out of reality and becomes a real illusion. A projection of what you want a person a person to be. A person that you are creating in your own expectations.
From the moment you have no contact with the person and forget to see the inner part of your intimacy and don't know that person personally, you don't know her smell, her touch, her kiss, her faults, it's harder to love that person for who she really is. It's easier to fool yourself and to love someone for what you think she is, moving away from reality and making it an illusion. You love a person who doesn't exist, because it is a projection of what you want.
I'm not saying that it isn't possible to truly love someone you met online. I'm just saying is a lot harder. So ask yourself these questions. Do you "love" her for what you think she is, or for what she really is?
If you are worried about the problems mentioned above, it is expected that you will pay attention to the following signs. It is believed that honesty creates strong foundations for the development of a relationship. Consequently, if you don't hide anything from your online dating partner, then you can expect the same from her. Of course, you must understand that there are no ideal people and that everyone has positive and negative traits in each personality. This is very natural and you should appreciate the fact that your partner is not afraid to confess them. Obviously, you should do the same. It is perfectly understandable that there are no people looking for dishonest relationships. Remember this.
As society changes and intra and interpersonal relationships accompany this change, paradigms can be altered. The thought that it is not possible to fall in love or truly love online is within common sense, but every rule has an exception. This exception may tend to break the rule as time passes.
If the online relationship is built on the basis of honesty and empathy, it has all aspects enough to turn out to be a great love. Of course, physical contact is necessary. Keep in mind the personal encounter as a goal in the relationship. Meanwhile, the relationship has every possibility to be developed virtually, leaving no loopholes for bad feelings like jealousy and possessiveness.


The methods that underly the ARPACK software are derived from a class of algorithms called Krylov subspace projection methods. These methods take full advantage of the intricate structure of the sequence of vectors naturally produced by the power method.
An examination of the behavior of the sequence of vectors produced by the power method suggests that the successive vectors may contain considerable information along eigenvector directions corresponding to eigenvalues other than the one with largest magnitude. The expansion coefficients of the vectors in the sequence evolve in a very structured way. Therefore, linear combinations of the these vectors can be constructed to enhance convergence to additional eigenvectors. A single vector power iteration simply ignores this additional information, but more sophisticated techniques may be employed to extract it.

É sócio da empresa de comunicação SOAP e membro do Políticos.org, um site que analise e faz um ranking a atuação dos parlamentares brasileiros.

Em dezembro de 2017, afastou-se das atividades do Movimento Vem pra Rua para tornar-se pré-candidato ao Governo do Estado de São Paulo pelo Partido Novo. Em convenção do NOVO oficializou sua candidatura ao lado de sua Vice Andrea Menezes.

Biografia
Nascido em São Paulo, graduou-se em Engenharia de produção pela Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo (POLI). Iniciou sua carreira em 1992 no Deutsche Bank, onde trabalhou por sete anos, com atuação nacional e internacional.

No NOVO, os candidatos passam por rigoroso processo seletivo que exige Ficha Limpa e alinhamento com os valores do partido. O processo de transparência e responsabilidade se inicia antes do candidato assumir o seu mandato: por discordar do financiamento de campanhas eleitorais pelo Fundo Partidário.

Em julho de 2018 foi oficializado como candidato a governador do estado de São Paulo tendo como vice Andrea Menezes pelo partido NOVO.

 Visões políticas
Em março de 2017, em uma entrevista ao El País defendeu o projeto original do Ministério Público Federal das 10 Medidas contra a corrupção. No mesmo ano, ainda enquanto ativista contra corrupção, posicionou-se contra a anistia ao caixa 2 e ao foro privilegiado. Também se manifestou contrário ao aumento do financiamento público de campanha; e à adoção de listas fechada  definidas pelos partidos   na eleição de deputados federais, estaduais e vereadores.

Em 2017, foi colunista da Folha de S.Paulo, publicando semanalmente sobre a conjuntura política brasileira e possíveis saídas para os impasses criados a partir da era PT. Ao longo de seus 33 artigos, reforçou a necessidade de renovação política e o desaparelhamento da máquina pública.

Em setembro de 2018, durante uma entrevista ao G1 e CBN defendeu o fim da impunidade, e o apoio à Operação Lava Jato. Tem como principal pauta política o combate à corrupção no Brasil e a impunidade.

I will help you learn to take better pictures and guide you to understand more about post production and the digital darkroom so that you can become proficient at image editing and printmaking.
A professional photographer with more than 40 years experience behind the camera, I have taught at Sydney University's Centre for Continuing Education and Charles Sturt University, as well as being a founding tutor at the Australian Centre for Photography in Sydney. I established the curriculum for digital photography and printmaking at KVB Raffles, a private university in Sydney, as well as conducting Study Tours for Sydney University and numerous workshops and independent photographic tours within Australia.
During 2017 I will be conducting a select number of photographic tours. The tours will be visiting different locations across Australia. Locations and tour dates will be added shortly. If you are interested in joining me go to the Tours page.
I have been conducting photographic tours since 2000. I have led groups of enthusiastic photographers to various locations around Australia and overseas. In March 2008 I led a study tour to the Antarctic Peninsula and South Georgia for Sydney University. Some of the images I captured with the group are accessible online and a limited edition book is also available.
For information on my scheduled tours in 2017 please go the Tours page.
The schedule of workshops is currently being revised.


According to Channel 2 Action News, wait until the weekend.
While a small chance of snow continues to exist, it's the cold that should really concern you, the news station reported.
"An arctic front will pass through Saturday without much more than some passing clouds," Channel 2 meteorologist Katie Walls said.
Frigid air is expected to come behind that front starting on New Year's Eve and usher in temperatures in the high 20s or low 30s by midnight.
"Wind chills during the Peach Drop (on New Year's Eve) will be in the low 20s and be even colder as we start 2018," Walls said.
New Year's Day is forecast to be the coldest Atlanta has felt since 2002, when the city hit a low of 22 degrees, she said. Monday's expected low is 24.
The first week of the new year is forecast to bring temperatures in the teens, according to Channel 2 Action News.
Currently, it is 48 degrees in Atlanta, according to Channel 2.
Temperatures are expected to reach a high of 50 degrees later in the day, Walls said.
Mostly sunny skies are in the forecast for the afternoon and evening commutes.

We don't know who this is. We don't know who the subject of this stencil is nor do we know the artist responsible for this work. But we like it. When we look at the person rendered in this image, we feel like we're look at some late Soviet-era East German spy hanging out in a Prague cafe waiting to meet his "secret" Czech contact. But this is the year 2005, so such a character would have shed the Cold-war look ages ago. Now he'd be clad with brand name logos — a pair of Nike sneakers on his feet, an Izod Lacoste shirt on his back, and Diesel jeans on his legs. Go consumer culture, go!

Why Uber's Sexual Harassment and Chris Christie's Beach Trip Are Symptoms of the Same Plague
HR/Benefits
The rules apply to everyone. Not just the little people.
By Suzanne LucasFreelance writer@RealEvilHRLady
New Jersey governor Chris Christie, right, uses the beach with his family and friends at the governor's summer house at Island Beach State Park in New Jersey. Christie is defending his use of the beach, closed to the public during the state's government shutdown, saying he had previously announced his vacation plans and the media had simply "caught a politician keeping his word."
Andrew Mills/NJ Advance Media via AP
New Jersey governor Chris Christie closed all the state beaches due to a budget impasse, and then he and his family enjoyed a private beach vacation. Private, because no one else else could come because he closed the beaches.
Silicon Valley is in the midst of huge sexual harassment scandals--from Travis Kalanick's departure as Uber CEO to Binary Capital co-founder Justin Caldbeck's repeated sexual harassment accusations.
While it seems far-fetched to say that sexual harassment is anywhere close to a private beach party, it's really the same thing: an abuse of power.
Christie argues that he did nothing wrong because the beach house comes with the job as governor: "Let's be really clear. That's our residence and we have a right to be there whenever we want to be there." While Christie did nothing illegal, what he did do was immoral. Politicians shouldn't get privileges that the people don't get. (I know, this is a pipe dream of mine.)
The sexual harassers, of course, were doing things that were immoral, but they thought they could get away with them because they had the power and the money. People wanted jobs. People wanted to work at Uber. People wanted money from Binary Capital to fund their startups. And, so, they all thought they could get away with it.
The best solution to corruption and power-hungry jerks is a whole lot of sunlight. When Uber engineer Susan J. Fowler opened up about being on the receiving end of the harassment and HR's incompetent response, it started a flood of information coming out from closets and it toppled an empire and looks to be toppling several. All it took was a little bit of sunlight.
Chris Christie probably won't take another beach vacation with the beaches closed. (Although to be honest, I suspect he knows his political aspirations are dead anyway, so who cares?) He knows people are watching, so that game is over.
If you're the victim of improper behavior, don't keep your mouth shut, if at all possible. (There are definitely times when, for your own well-being, just getting away from the harasser is the top priority.) If you're an HR manager and someone reports sexual (or racial, or gender, or even bullying) harassment, don't say, "Oh, well, that's just how it is." You don't deserve your job if you won't stand up to the people who abuse others for their own gain.
People who are behaving on the up-and-up don't mind sunlight. In fact, they are happy to have it on their faces. If you ever find yourself dealing with someone who wants to keep the proverbial window shades drawn, open them up and air it out.

March 7, 2016 by Beeraj Patel, Esq.
For presidential hopeful Sen Marco Rubio (R-FL), immigration is more than just an abstract issue being thrown about about on the campaign trail; it's personal. The candidate is the son of Cuban immigrants, Mario and Oria Rubio, who moved to the United States in 1956 with little education or money, and worked their way into the middle class.
Rubio has described his parents' experience overcoming obstacles to achieve the American dream as similar to many others who have crossed oceans and left ancestral homelands to give their children greater opportunities, and recently declared, "There's no nation on Earth that's more compassionate on immigration than we are." Yet the freshman senator from Florida also believes the immigration system is "chaotic" and needs fundamental reform, including a focus on both legal and illegal immigration.
To that end, Rubio has proposed a three-point plan that begins with immigration security, or enforcement measures designed to keep illegal immigrants out of the country. This first step calls for increased border protection, including the hiring of 20,000 new border patrol agents, the completion of 700 miles of walls on the southern border, and the installation of new cameras and sensors. His plan also implements a mandatory E-verify system for employers to ensure immigration laws are being enforced in the workplace, and an entry-exit system to identify and stop visa overstays.
Rubio also supports the I-Squared bill, which would triple the number of H-1B visas, or temporary work visas, offered to skilled foreign workers annually. While the current number of H-1B visas is capped at 65,000 each year, this bill would raise that limit to as many as 195,000, depending on market conditions — a move that likely would benefit companies in the tech sector, which have lobbied for more foreign talent in the country.
While Rubio backs the legislation, he also has called for employers to advertise job openings to skilled American workers before giving foreign workers the opportunity to apply.
The third aspect of Rubio's plan deals with how to handle the roughly 11 million people in the country illegally — an often contentious issue. While the candidate opposed amnesty during his bid for the Senate, he joined a bipartisan group of senators known as the Gang of Eight in 2013 to endorse a comprehensive immigration reform bill that included a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Yet Rubio has distanced himself from that legislation on the campaign trail this season.
Rubio's proposal lays out several steps an individual would have to take to be eligible for permanent resident status. First, he asks those here unlawfully to step out of the shadows and be registered. While those who have committed serious crimes would be deported, qualified individuals would be granted temporary, non-immigrant visas after they fill out an application, pay a fine, learn English, and submit to a background check. They then would be allowed to work legally and travel, though they would not be eligible to collect benefits from federal programs like food stamps and welfare, or to gain health insurance through the government's Affordable Care Act. After a decade in this status, they could apply for permanent residency.

Move Over Fiddle Leaf Fig! Here's Why the Olive Tree Is Our New Favorite Houseplant
Plus, learn how to care for your own.
By Johanna Silver August 13, 2019
Facebook Tweet Email Send Text Message Print Comment
olive tree in terra cotta pot
As our houseplant obsession grows and grows, it only makes sense we're rediscovering the classics. Take, for example, the olive tree. Given that we've been growing them for at least 8,000 years, it's fair to say that humans and olives have been coexisting for quite a while. But lately we're seeing perky olive trees everywhere: in gorgeous home tours, in chic décor catalogs, and, of course, all over our Instagram feeds (especially in the homes of Californians). That's why we're bidding adieu to the oversized, dark green leaves of the ever-popular fiddle leaf fig and mixing it up with the feathery, sage-colored foliage of an olive. Outdoors, they're hardy to USDA zone 8. But indoors? Well, it's a whole new take on an ancient tree. Here's everything you need to know to keep your own touch of the Mediterranean good life thriving for years to come.
Related: Top Succulents to Grow Indoors
Pick the Right Variety for Your Space
Olives in containers will max out around ten feet. If that's feeling a little too large for your indoor space, don't worry—go for a dwarf option instead. Dwarf varieties will eventually reach six feet tall and can be kept even smaller by pruning. 'Montra' is a particularly compact variety we like.
Give It Some Room
Olives are slow growers, but they still need some room. Keep your olive happy by replanting it in a container that gives the root ball a few inches on all sides to keep growing.
Use the Right Soil
Olives appreciate pitch-perfect drainage. To achieve that, plant your olive in a blend of cactus and potting mix.
Don't Over Water
Being from the Mediterranean, olives are quite accustomed to periods of drought. What this means for your new houseplant version is that you want to let the soil dry between waterings and you certainly don't want to over water. Less is more. Use your finger as a moisture gauge—when the soil is dry a few inches beneath the surface, it's time to water.
Bring on the Sunlight
Olives prefer full sun, which means at least six hours a day. A great spot is a south-facing window, but don't let leaves touch the glass as that contact can cause burning. Being able to open that window is a major plus—olives appreciate air circulation from time to time.
Feed Regularly
No need for its own fertilizer—any houseplant formula will do. Olives will be happiest with twice monthly feedings in spring and summer, and once monthly in fall and winter. Follow package instructions for exact amounts.
Stay on Top of Pest Patrol
Indoors, olive trees are prone to scale—sap-sucking insects that can weaken plants. Should you find sooty deposits, white waxy eggs, or small black bugs with hard protective shells, use an insecticidal soap to treat the problem and bring your tree back to health.
Don't Hold Your Breath for Olive Oil
You can't have it all. In this case, that means you're not going to have olives. Trees need about two months of temperatures below 50 degrees to stimulate flowering (which is a precursor to fruiting), so unless you plan on wearing your parka indoors for a stretch, you can plan on enjoying the foliage but skipping the fruit. Consider this a positive—the flowers are messy and leave a dusting of small petals on everything.

Lake Michigan has a long history of non-indigenous introductions that have caused significant ecological change. Here we present a summary of eight papers that document recent changes and the current state of the lower food web of southern Lake Michigan after the establishment of large dreissenid populations. Results are based on long-term data sets collected by federal and academic research and monitoring programs that place recent changes into a historic context. Dramatic and significant changes in the lower food web, such as the loss of the spring diatom bloom, large declines in phytoplankton productivity, and a decline of Mysis populations, were directly or indirectly attributed to the expansion of Dreissena rostriformis bugensis. Total phosphorus concentrations and loadings also have decreased in the last 20 years. Changes in the Lake Michigan ecosystem induced by D. r. bugensis have produced conditions in the offshore pelagic region that are similar to oligotrophic Lake Superior. The future state of the lower food web in southern Lake Michigan is difficult to predict, mainly because population trends of D.r. bugensis in cold, offshore regions are unknown. Hence. monitoring programs designed to collect long-term, consistent data on the lower food web of Lake Michigan are essential.
Trends in density, biomass, population structure, and nutritional state of Dreissena polymorpha and Dreissena rostriformis bugensis were examined in southern Lake Michigan between the 1990s and 2008. Density and biomass of D. polymorpha increased to a peak in the early 2000s and then declined. In contrast, D. rostriformis bugensis was first found in the southern basin in 2001 and has continued to increase in density or biomass at all depths ever since. In 2008, maximum mean density of D. rostriformis bugensis occurred at 16–30m (19,000/m2), but maximum biomass (AFDW) occurred at 31–50 m (43.9 g/m2). D. rostriformis bugensis has only recently (since 2005) began to increase at depths >50 m. When both species were present in 2004 at depths <50 m, a condition index (CI) for D. rostriformis bugensis was 27% higher, and shell weight per shell length was 48% lower compared to D. polymorpha. For D. rostriformis bugensis, CI decreased in 2008 compared to 2004 at 25 m and 45 m, but biochemical content (lipid, glycogen) did not. Seasonal changes in both RNA/DNA ratio (growth) and ETS (metabolic activity) in D. rostriformis bugensis were unaffected by reproductive activity, and only ETS appeared to change seasonally relative to bottom temperatures. Spawning of D. rostriformis bugensis occurred in late summer at 25 m, but occurred in spring at 45 m. Veliger densities peaked in both spring and late summer at both depths. Future population expansion (biomass) is expected to be most rapid at depths >50 m.
Phytoplankton abundance, composition, and productivity were monitored on a bi-weekly basis from March/ April through November/December at two offshore stations in southeastern Lake Michigan in 1983–1987, 1995– 1998 and 2007–2008 (exception 1983–1984 which were sampled from May to August). During the spring isothermal mixing period, surface-mixed layer (SML) chlorophyll a and phytoplankton biomass (carbon) and water column primary productivity decreased substantially in 2007–2008 as compared to 1995–1998 (66%, 87%, and 70% decrease, respectively). Smaller or no decreases were noted between 1983–1987 and 1995–1998 (chlorophyll a 23% decrease, phytoplankton biomass 5% increase, and production 22% decrease). Phytoplankton composition also changed during the spring isothermal mixing period in 2007–2008 as compared to 1983–1987 and 1995–1998; all phytoplankton groups with the exception of cyanobacteria and chlorophytes exhibited dramatic reductions in 2007–2008. The pronounced changes in phytoplankton properties during spring mixing in 2007–2008 were attributed to the filtering activities of the quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis). During mid- and late thermal stratification periods, SML phytoplankton chlorophyll a and phytoplankton carbon and water column primary production exhibited only one significant change across all decades (mid-stratification production in 2007–2008 as compared to 1995–1998 and 1983–1987). Phytoplankton compositional changes in the SML also were limited during thermal stratification. The size of the deep chlorophyll layer (DCL) in 2007–2008 was similar to or smaller than those in 1983–1987 and 1995–1998. However, phytoplankton composition in the DCL changed as net diatoms constituted < 5% of total phytoplankton in the 2007–2008 DCL but over 50% in 1983–1987 and 1995–1998.
Southern Lake Michigan has changed in response to alterations in nutrients and invasive species. NOAA and EPA monitoring results are used to examine those changes. NOAA provides detailed seasonal resolution, but limited spatial coverage, whereas the EPA provides more spatial coverage, but limited seasonal resolution. We compare changes in total phosphorus (TP), silica, nitrate plus nitrite, and chlorophyll concentrations from before and after the invasion by the quagga mussel (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis). Although TP at NOAA stations was consistently higher than at EPA stations, both confirm declines in spring and summer surface mixed layer (SML) conditions. Chlorophyll differed at EPA and NOAA stations before quagga mussel invasion, but not after the invasion. Spring chlorophyll decreased at NOAA stations after the invasion, but summer conditions did not change at either set of stations. Pre-invasion silica at NOAA stations was slightly higher than at EPA stations, and the lake's Si reservoir increased over the study period. Basin-scale spring Si increased gradually, whereas summer SML Si increased dramatically after 2003, likely reflecting reduced diatom production. Basin-scale nitrate increased significantly from pre- to post-invasion in both spring and summer. Summer nitrate utilization declined drastically in recent years, likely reflecting reduced phytoplankton production. TP loads decreased; however, the timing of changes in chlorophyll and Si and nitrate utilization suggest the recent increase in dreissenid filtering dramatically reduced spring phytoplankton abundance and production across the entire southern basin. The offshore pelagic zone of the historically mesotrophic southern Lake Michigan is now similar to oligotrophic Lake Superior.
We determined the clearance rates of the profunda morph of the quagga mussel (Dreissena bugensis) using seston and Cryptomonas ozolini, a high-quality algal food, for the temperature range 1–7°C, which is the full temperature range this morph is likely to experience during isothermal conditions or in the hypolimnion of deep lakes. Experiments at 3 °C with the shallow-water morph of the quagga and the zebra mussel provided very similar results. The clearance rates were combined with dreissenid abundance in 0–30 m, 30–50 m, 50–90 m, and >90 m depth zones of the southern basin of Lake Michigan to calculate a maximum (using Cryptomonas) and minimum (using seston) fraction of the water column cleared (FC) per day in the different depth zones at 3 °C to determine dreissenid impact on the spring phytoplankton bloom from 1994 to 2008. Starting in 2003 or 2004 with the replacement of zebra mussels by quagga mussels in shallow water and expansion of quagga mussel biomass in deep water, FC began to exceed likely phytoplankton growth in the 30–50 m zone. In 2007–2008, FC greatly exceeded likely phytoplankton growth by a factor of about 5 in the 30- to 50-m depth zone, where dreissenids were extremely abundant. Low FC in the offshore region led to the hypothesis of a mid-depth carbon (C) and phosphorous (P) sink caused by mussel uptake of seston-associated C and P that affected not only the mid-depth region, but also the offshore region "downstream" of the mid-depth zone.
The density and life history characteristics of Mysis relicta were evaluated at a 110-m and 45-m station in southeast Lake Michigan during spring, summer, and fall for two time periods, 1995–2002 and 2007–2008. Mysis were more abundant during 1995–2002 than 2007–2008 for all seasons and depths, with average declines across seasons of 81% at 45 m and 70% at 110 m. Offshore densities of Mysis in 2007–2008 were similar to published densities within the same region during 1985–1989, but under differing ecosystem conditions (e.g. higher fish biomass and primary production in the 1980s). Growth averaged 0.032± 0.002 mm/day in both 1995–2002 and 2007–2008, and the proportion of females with broods (overall 7%) did not differ between time periods. Mean brood size adjusted for length did not differ between 1995–2002 (17 ± 0.6) and 2007–2008 (15 ± 1.3). The mean length of reproductive females was higher in 2007–2008 (17 ± 0.2) than during 1995–2002 (16 ± 0.1). New recruits (≤4 mm) were collected during each season for each time period, but were lower in abundance in 2007–2008 than in 1995–2002. During spring, there was a significant relationship between offshore water column chlorophyll concentration and Mysis recruit abundance, but not during summer/fall. Declining spring chlorophyll levels may be altering food availability for small mysids in spring, and the decline of the benthic macroinvertebrate Diporeia may be increasing fish predation pressure on Mysis despite declining planktivore abundance.
The predatory cladocerans, Leptodora kindtii, Bythotrephes longimanus, and Cercopagis pengoi coexist in the waters of southeastern Lake Michigan near Muskegon, Michigan. Leptodora is indigenous, whereas Bythotrephes and Cercopagis are nonindigenous and became established in 1986 and 2000, respectively. To observe seasonal changes in their abundances, and relationships to each other, cladocerans were collected from 1994 to 2008 at an offshore (110-m) site, from 1998 to 2008 at a transitional (45-m) site and from 1999 to 2008 at a nearshore (15-m) site. Bythotrephes was most abundant at the offshore site compared to Leptodora and Cercopagis. Bythotrephes peak abundances usually occurred in autumn at all sites. Cercopagis tended to be more abundant at the nearshore site, and peak densities occurred in summer. At the mid-depth site, similar abundances occurred for all three predatory cladocerans, however, the date of peak abundance was usually earliest for Cercopagis, followed by Leptodora, and latest for Bythotrephes. In recent years, 2007 and 2008, densities of all three predatory cladocerans have increased. Temperature preference, fish predation, and competition between the invertebrate predators may all be important in allowing the dominance of one species over the other seasonally or spatially.
Bythotrephes were collected on a regular basis at a 110 m deep reference station in Lake Michigan over a 10-year period 1994–2003. The measured population structure in conjunction with an updated bioenergetic model was used to estimate daily predation demands by Bythotrephes on the Zooplankton community. The bioenergetic model incorporated the effect of temperature on growth and respiration and used a scalable size structure to adjust for a dynamic range in size across the season. A general linear model was developed to apply the bioenergetic results to routinely collected field data for estimating predation needs. Daily population consumption needs were estimated to be approximately equal to Bythotrephes standing biomass but varied as a function of water temperature and percent instar composition. At a temperature of 18 °C the predation needs of the population were equal to the population biomass. At warmer temperatures (22– 24 °C) the daily needs were up to 35% above the population biomass. Within and across years the population was variable, while trend lines from the long-term data indicated biomass and predation needs had an initial peak in mid-August followed by a plateau period with a seasonal high peak mid-October. A decrease in the midseason long-term average size structure suggests that Bythotrephes may experience prey limitation during this time period of the year. Over the course of the 10-year period population cycles and peak biomass were fairly stable with no indication of a change in predation needs.

'Talkin' Texan' Means Lyin' Big
On Feb. 1, the day after his State of the Union Address, George W. Bush stood on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry and delighted his audience by talking "Texan," which in Bush's lexicon must mean lying big.
Bush's biggest lie that day was his claim that his warrantless wiretaps inside the United States were needed to intercept calls in which "one of the people making the call has to be al-Qaeda, suspected al-Qaeda, and/or affiliate."
The President said, "Let me put it to you in Texan: If al-Qaeda is calling into the United States, we want to know." His listeners laughed and applauded.
With his folksy style, Bush again got away with his false assertion that existing law wouldn't let U.S. intelligence intercept these al-Qaeda telephone calls when, in fact, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 set up procedures for just such intercepts and even let the Executive tap first and get approval from a secret court later.
But "talkin' Texan" is apparently like telling tall tales about Paul Bunyan or Pecos Bill, except Texas-sized.
Bush's wiretap lie was abetted a day later, when Deputy Director of National Intelligence Michael Hayden refused to divulge to the Senate Intelligence Committee – even in closed session – how many Americans were subjected to Bush's warrantless wiretaps.
By keeping the scope of the operation secret, Hayden protected Bush's account, since the President had depicted the eavesdropping as "limited," affecting only a "few" people who supposedly were in direct touch with al-Qaeda operatives.
If Hayden had admitted the truth – that many thousands of Americans had been spied on under Bush's warrantless wiretaps and few, if any, had any links to al-Qaeda – Bush's story would collapse.
So, Bush administration officials have contended they can't divulge the numbers or other details to avoid "helping al-Qaeda." But people knowledgeable about U.S. eavesdropping capabilities say the number would be of no help to al-Qaeda, nor was the New York Times disclosure in December 2005 that Bush was conducting wiretaps without warrants.
Al-Qaeda operatives have long assumed the United States has the capacity to intercept their phone calls and e-mails, so they go to great lengths to deliver messages face-to-face or to send messages by courier. When they do communicate electronically, they make only brief cryptic references because they expect the message may well be intercepted.
Sept. 11 Prevention
Bush and Hayden also have tried to justify the warrantless wiretaps by speculating that the Sept. 11 terror attacks might have been prevented if this extra-legal "terrorist surveillance" program was in place in 2001.
But the September 11th Commission found that the failure to stop the terrorist attacks resulted from the U.S. government fumbling the interpretation of available evidence, not from a lack of electronic eavesdropping.
Bush's first counter-terrorism chief Richard Clarke faulted the President for failing to show decisive leadership and "shake the trees" of the federal bureaucracy after being warned in August 2001 about an impending al-Qaeda attack.
Yet, Bush appears to be counting on the weak memories of Americans and their susceptibility to emotional arguments. To make that work, however, Bush has had to keep the numbers of wiretaps secret so he can mislead about the scope of the operation.
What the domestic spying actually seems to entail is the National Security Agency scooping up conversations and e-mails of vast numbers of Americans – possibly in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions – and then mining that data.
Federal officials told the New York Times that this wiretap data generates thousands of tips each month, which are then passed on to the FBI for further investigation.
"But virtually all of [the tips], current and former officials say, led to dead ends or innocent Americans," the Times reported. "FBI officials repeatedly complained to the spy agency that the unfiltered information was swamping investigators. … Some FBI officials and prosecutors also thought the checks, which sometimes involved interviews by agents, were pointless intrusions on Americans' privacy." [NYT, Jan. 17, 2006]
In other words, this widespread wiretapping of Americans is not restricted to a small number of people who are chatting with al-Qaeda associates; it is prying into the communications of innocent Americans and burdening U.S. law enforcement with worthless tips that divert investigative resources away from more promising leads.
An investigation by the Washington Post reached a similar conclusion.
"Intelligence officials who eavesdropped on thousands of Americans in overseas calls under authority from President Bush have dismissed nearly all of them as potential suspects after hearing nothing pertinent to a terrorist threat, according to accounts from current and former government officials and private-sector sources with knowledge of the technologies in use," the Post reported on Feb. 5, 2006.
The Post cited two "knowledgeable sources" who said the number of Americans spied on through the warrantless wiretaps was in the thousands, with one source putting the number at about 5,000.
But the Post added, "the program has touched many more Americans than that" because the technology sifts through hundreds of thousands of e-mails, faxes and phone calls before selecting Americans for closer examination.
These depictions of a vast program don't square with Bush's down-home claims about the government having the phone numbers of some al-Qaeda operatives and just wanting to know who they're talking to in the United States.
Caught Lying
Though Bush is telling the American people to trust him, he already has been caught lying about this wiretapping program, which he first authorized in 2002. Two years later, he went out of his way to give assurances that he was following the law and getting warrants for terrorism-related wiretaps.
In 2004, Bush told a crowd in Buffalo, N.Y., that "by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires – a wiretap requires a court order. … Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so."
On New Year's Day 2006, Bush lied again, insisting that his warrantless wiretaps only involved communications from suspicious individuals abroad who were contacting people in the United States. Bush said the eavesdropping was "limited to calls from outside the United States to calls within the United States."
But Bush's explanation was at odds even with what his own administration had previously admitted to journalists – that the wiretaps also covered calls originating in the United States. The White House soon "clarified" Bush's remarks to acknowledge that his warrantless wiretaps did, indeed, involve communications from the United States. [NYT, Jan. 2, 2006]
But Bush apparently has decided that – if framed right – the wiretap issue can help him politically. Bush's aides have begun counterattacking, accusing Democrats and the news media of jeopardizing the safety of Americans.
"Let me be as clear as I can be: President Bush believes if Al Qaeda is calling somebody in America, it is in our national security interest to know who they're calling and why," declared deputy White House chief of staff Karl Rove in a speech on Jan. 20. "Some important Democrats clearly disagree."
Rove didn't specify who any of these "important Democrats" were, most likely because no prominent Democrat has disagreed with the need to know who al-Qaeda is calling or why. They only are saying that the existing FISA law set legal standards for permitting this surveillance and that Bush has chosen to circumvent the law.
For his part, Bush is painting his detractors as helping the enemy by just mentioning the wiretaps.
While talkin' Texan at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tenn., Bush said, "I'm sure you can understand why you don't want the President or anybody talking about the operating details. … If you're at war, and you're trying to stop an enemy from attacking you, why in the world would you want to tell the enemy what they're doing to stop them, because they'll adjust."
Bush then assured the appreciative crowd, "We are safeguarding your liberties."
Killing Children
Bush also bathed his Grand Ole Opry listeners in feel-good rhetoric about the fundamental decency of the American people.
"What a fantastic country," Bush said. "We deeply care about every human life. The life of a child in Baghdad is precious. And so when we see these killers kill somebody – a young child outside a hospital where one of our soldiers is handing out candy, we weep, because Americans have a deep compassion for every human being."
But Bush didn't mention how his invasion of Iraq has led to the killing and maiming of tens of thousands of civilians, including many children.
For instance, at the start of the war, Bush authorized the bombing of a restaurant in Baghdad because some faulty intelligence suggested that Saddam Hussein might be having dinner there. As it turned out, Hussein wasn't there, but 14 civilians were killed, including seven children. One mother collapsed when her decapitated daughter was pulled from the rubble.
Some legal scholars have cited this bombing and similar incidents as evidence of war crimes committed by Bush, but the President has never apologized for killing civilians in Iraq, instead claiming that Hussein was the one who "chose war."
Bush reprised that favorite chapter of his revisionist history during his Grand Ole Opry speech, too.
"We gave Saddam Hussein a chance to deal with the world in good faith by honoring the United Nations Security Council resolutions," Bush said. "He chose – it was his choice – he chose to defy the resolutions. And so we took action."
In other speeches, Bush has gone even further, rewriting the history to say that Hussein hadn't let the U.N. inspectors in, even though the inspection teams entered Iraq in November 2002 and were citing good Iraqi cooperation before Bush forced them to leave in March 2003 so the invasion could proceed. [For details, see Consortiumnews.com's "President Bush, With the Candlestick…"]
New evidence also has emerged in Great Britain, revealing that Bush planned to invade Iraq regardless of what the U.N. inspectors discovered or whether the U.N. Security Council approved a war resolution.
"The US would put its full weight behind efforts to get another resolution and would 'twist arms' and 'even threaten'. But [Bush] had to say that if ultimately we failed, military action would follow anyway," according to minutes of a Jan. 31, 2003, meeting between Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Bush and Blair also discussed the possibility of creating a pretext for war. According to Bush, "The US was thinking of flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft with fighter cover over Iraq, painted in UN colours. If Saddam fired on them, he would be in breach" of U.N. resolutions.
"It was also possible that a defector could be brought out who would give a public presentation about Saddam's WMD, and there was also a small possibility that Saddam would be assassinated," Bush said, according to the minutes.
At the meeting, Bush added that after the invasion, he "thought it unlikely that there would be internecine warfare between the different religious and ethnic groups." (The minutes were obtained by human rights lawyer Philippe Sands for a new edition of his book, Lawless World. The minutes were reviewed by British Channel 4 News.)
Though Bush was wrong about Iraq's WMD stockpiles and the likelihood of sectarian violence under the U.S. occupation, he continues to urge the American people to trust his judgment on a plan for "victory in Iraq."
Talkin' Texan at the Grand Ole Opry, Bush said, "I want to describe right quick our plans for victory in Iraq. First of all, anytime we put our troops in harm's way we got to go in with victory in mind." The audience responded with warm applause.
In his Nashville remarks, Bush did back away from one longtime canard that he's used to justify seizing broad powers domestically, invading Iraq and ignoring international law. In speech after speech, Bush has insisted that before Sept. 11, 2001, Americans thought the Atlantic and Pacific oceans protected them from foreign attack.
But no American growing up during the Cold War felt that way. They knew that Soviet intercontinental ballistic missiles could obliterate American cities in minutes.
At the Grand Ole Opry, Bush finally took note of complaints about this misleading argument by acknowledging the fact that the oceans really wouldn't have protected Americans from nuclear attack.
"When we grew up, oceans protected us, it seemed like," Bush said. "We felt pretty safe and secure from an attack on American soil. We were concerned about a nuclear threat, but nevertheless, we felt secure because we were isolated from threats it seemed like."
In "talkin' Texan," the phrase "it seemed like" must be synonymous with "almost the same as true."
