Ottawa, Ontario – The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson, Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, confirmed today that the remaining 25 per cent of the 2018 and 2019 Total Allowable Catch (TAC) will be made available to the current licence holder, with a view to identify a new participant for the 2020 Surf Clam fishery. This will allow for the economic benefits to remain in coastal communities while Fisheries and Oceans Canada continues to work to broaden access to this fishery.
In order to move forward on implementing enhanced access and promoting reconciliation, we will be launching a new Expression of Interest process to identify an Indigenous entity to hold a fourth license for this fishery in the spring of 2019, so that the participant can begin fishing a new license in 2020. An independent third-party will evaluate the submissions received. Further details on this process will be made available in due course.
The decision to introduce Indigenous participation in the Arctic Surf Clam fishery is consistent with the Government of Canada's commitment to developing a renewed relationship between Canada and Indigenous peoples. Enhancing access to the Arctic Surf Clam fishery broadens the distribution of benefits from this public resource, and is a powerful step toward reconciliation.

Rod Stewart free from prostate cancer
Rod Stewart says he's free from prostate cancer. - AAP
Rod Stewart has revealed he is free from prostate cancer after around two years of secret treatment.
The 74-year-old singer was given the all-clear in July after his cancer was diagnosed during its early stages in 2017.
Sir Rod went public with his illness during a fundraising event for the Prostate Project and European Tour Foundation charity in Surrey this weekend.
Speaking alongside his former Faces bandmates Kenney Jones and Ronnie Wood, Sir Rod urged all men to seek regular check-ups.
The singer said regular tests had helped him identify his cancer early, improving his chances of entering remission.
According to the Mirror, he told the audience: "Guys, you've got to really go to the doctor."
"Finger up the bum, no harm done."
The Maggie May singer's wife Penny Lancaster cracked a joke about the nature of his announcement.
The model and TV personality, 48, said: "Tonight would be a nice night to come out of the closet."
He replied: "No, it's not what you think. Two years ago I was -diagnosed with prostate cancer."
"No one knows this, but I thought this was about time I told everybody. I'm in the clear, now, simply because I caught it early. I have so many tests."
The father-of-eight added that he got through his treatment by staying positive and smiling.
Each year, 47,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer - and in 30 per cent of cases it has already spread to other parts of the body by the time treatment is started.
Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers, actor Jim Broadbent and Stephen Fry are among those who recently backed The Men, We Are With You campaign by Prostate Cancer UK, aimed at encouraging men to realise the disease can affect anyone, and that there is help available.

Parziale impresses from the No. 32 seed at Massachusetts Am
by Massachusetts Golf Association
see also: Massachusetts Amateur Championship, The Kittansett Club, Matt Parziale Rankings
Matt Parziale (David Colt/Mass Golf)
On the first day of match play at the 111th Massachusetts Amateur Championship, a combined 18 matches were completed at The Country Club, plus a continued playoff from Tuesday's stroke play competition before play was suspended due to a dangerous situation (weather). All 16 matches in the Round of 32 were completed, and an additional two matches in the Round of 16 were finished before play was suspended at 3:40 p.m.
Brockton's Matt Parziale, who defeated Gloucester's Mark Turner in a playoff Wednesday morning to punch his ticket to the match play round after shooting a combined 6-over 148 in the first two rounds of stroke play, garnered the No. 32 seed, where he squared off against Herbie Aikens. Earlier this year, Parziale and Aikens advanced to the U.S. Amateur Four-Ball quarterfinals together. The two had also won two Massachusetts Four-Ball championships together in 2016 and 2017.
Parziale defeated Aikens, 3 and 1, before defeating Turners Falls resident Cody Booska, 7 and 6, in the Round of 16 Wednesday afternoon.
Parziale becomes the first No. 32 seed since 2014 to advance out of the first round of match play, and the first to advance to the quarterfinal round since Ian Thimble in 2013. That time around, Thimble advanced all the way to the championship match before falling to then defending champion, Mike Calef. Since 2000, only five 32-seeds have advanced to at least the quarterfinal round of the Massachusetts Amateur Championship, with Thimble and Larry Nuger (2000) as the only 32-seeds to advance to the 36-hole Championship match.
In addition to Parziale, Steven DiLisio of Swampscott was the only competitor to book a spot into the quarterfinals before play was suspended.

Better Than That
"I can't believe I agreed to help you." Kyle complained as she rinsed the turkey and placed it on the cutting board in front of me.
"You were the one who wanted to learn how to cook a turkey" I said as I tied my apron .
"Not at six in the fucking morning." She said as I cut off the plastic that held the two legs together, which allowed me to reach into the turkey and pull out the neck and giblets. "That is so gross." Kyle said as she held open the garbage can for me.
"You get used to it." I said as I put the giblets in a Tupperware container and placed it in the refrigerator.
"Why are you keeping those?" Kyle said looking disgusted.
"My mom loves the liver, gizzards, and heart."
"As long as I don't have to eat those, everything is fine."
"You defiantly don't have too, because I wouldn't dare eat those." I smiled as I started stuffing the stuffing into the turkey before I put it in the oven at 375 degrees for 6 hours.
"Is that all you had to do?" she asked.
"It's as simple as that, and I am done cooking for today because everyone else is bringing a dish to pass, so I am going back to bed."
"You aren't going to watch the Macy's day parade with me in an hour?" she asked hopeful.
"It's set to record, so we can watch it when we wake up." I said taking my apron off.
"You are a genius" she yawned and laid down on the couch and instantly fell asleep as I went up to my own bed.
~19~19~19~19~19~19~19~19~19~19~
I woke up around 8:30 in order to make the appetizers for everybody who was coming over for Thanksgiving dinner today. Jayden's family wanted to come and visit especially after they learned about John, so she decided to have them for thanksgiving and invite the whole team too, which almost all agreed to come except for those who had other families coming in. So she made the turkey and everybody else is bringing a dish to pass.
I got downstairs and saw Kyle passed out on the couch and laughed because I knew she had to wake up early to make the turkey with Jayje.
I was just finishing making the fruit salsa and homemade chips when I saw a recipe for meatballs on the refrigerator with a note.
Hey Jon,
I know you already have plans for appetizers but these meatballs are my favorite appetizers, and my brothers. I made sure I got all the ingredients if you want to make them. I would if you want to get on my brother's good side, but you don't have too.
Yup defiantly going to make these meatballs, I need to get on Jayje's brothers good side, I thought as I started making the crockpot meatballs with sauerkraut and cranberry sauce.
At 10:47 the appetizers were all done now I just had to change before people started arriving at 12. I passed the couch and noticed that Kyle was still fast asleep. I knew Jayden would want to be woken up so she could get changed and ready for the guests.
"Jayje" I said softly opening her door and peeking my head in. She was just lying there looking so peaceful. The bruises were starting to fade but still visible and her stitches were still in and wouldn't be taken out until tomorrow.
I made my way over to her bed and kneeled down next to her. How could anyone ever hurt someone like her? I leaned down and kissed her forehead right below her stitches. "Jayje," I said softly.
"Hmmm" she murmured snuggling into her bed more.
"It's time to wake up."
"I don't want too." She said with a sleep filled voice.
"People are going to start arriving in an hour." I said.
"They can wait" she mumbled.
"I don't think they would, you did invite a professional hockey team to dinner and when they know they are getting food they won't wait" I said knowingly.
"Fine" she said sitting up, stretching before heading to the bathroom.
"You're still here?" Jayden said coming out of the bathroom and going to her closet.
"Yup your bed is just too comfy to leave." I said laying back and snuggling into her pillow. I felt the bed dip. "You need to get ready."
"If you can lay down so can I" she stated.
"Well the difference between you and I is that I am dressed and ready for the guests to come."
"Who said I wasn't wearing this to Thanksgiving dinner?" she said gesturing to her pajamas.
"The same person who told Pat that he couldn't wear sweatpants to dinner, so that means you at least has to look presentable."
"Ugh, why did I make that rule?"
"I don't know, why did you make that rule?" I asked curious to why Jayden would turn down a chance to wear sweatpants.
"Because my Oma is coming and she likes when people look presentable for special occasions such as Thanksgiving and Christmas." She ssaid as the doorbell rang.
"This isn't my house so I am not getting the door." Kyle yelled.
"I guess, since Kyle won't and you aren't presentable that means I should get the door."
"Yup and that means I should get dressed." She said getting out of bed and pulling me with her.
"Fine!" I grumbled walking out of her room and down the stairs noticing Kyle was lying on the couch in the same position as earlier.
"Happy Thanksgiving" I was greeted by Jayden's brothers bursting through the door with food.
"Really boys you couldn't wait till you were invited in? You just had to burst right in." The only girl was standing outside politely.
"Come on in." I said before Zander yelled from in the kitchen.
"We are always allowed in and besides we aren't Vampires so we don't need to be invited in to enter a home."
"Are you still trying to get Alicia to admit she is a vampire?" Jayden said walking downstairs now that she was changed into the proper attire.
"All the signs are there." Zander stated as he came out of the kitchen, I was completely confused.
"What signs?" I asked.
"She never takes off her ring, so she go out in the sun, she drinks a lot of coffee in order to keep her body temperature up, she starts coughing uncontrollably around certain flowers, and last but defiantly not least she always has blood on her work clothes. Explain that."
"Sorry about Zander he has watched one to many Vampire Diary episodes. Since I broke our pact to never get married, Z believed Alicia compelled me to get married." Brayden said.
"She did its true." Zander defended himself. "How else can you explain those factors I had just explained?"
"Hmm let's see, she doesn't take off her wedding ring because she is married. She coughs uncontrollably because she is allergic to those flowers not because it is verbane. She drinks a lot of coffee because she has a high demanding tiring job and she needs to stay awake. Last but not least she has blood on her work clothes because she is an emergency room nurse." Jayden explained.
"Those are just cover up stories." Zander said as the doorbell rang.
"I got it." I said trying to escape the vampire conversation that completely confused me.
"Happy Thanksgiving" I said as I opened the door to reveal who I assumed was Jayden's parents and grandmother.
"Happy Thanksgiving, Jon, I am Jayden's mother Cheryl, this is my husband Lawrence, and my mother Mary-Beth."
"It's nice to meet you" I said about to invite them in when someone yelled from the kitchen.
"Alicia put that ring back on your finger or you are going to burn alive if you step foot in the light."
"Zander is talking about Alicia being a vampire again?" Mrs. Harris asked.
"Yes he is. Come on in." I said motioning her into the house.
"Thank you Jon." She said as I took one of the bags of food that she was holding.
"It's my pleasure." I said leading her to the kitchen where Zander was blocking Alicia from walking into the sun that was coming into the kitchen.
"Zander let her go" Mrs. Harris scolded her son and he let Alicia go instantly. "She is not a vampire if she was she probably would have killed you by now. I know I would have." She finished causing everyone to laugh and Alicia to walk into the sunlight.
"Oh my god it burns." She joked.
"I am still not convinced." Zander stated confidently.
"Whatever Z, you still like her whether she is a vampire or not." Jayden said coming into view. "Hey Mama" she gave her mom a big hug. "Hey Pops" she said moving over to her father before she got to her grandmother. "Happy Thanksgiving, Oma."
"Oh Jayden, I've missed you." She gave Jayje a big hug crying.
"I have missed you too." She said while we all walked into the living room to give them space.
"So Jonathan, I have to thank you for protecting my favorite sister from her asshole ex-boyfriend." Keegan said to me.
"That was defiantly my pleasure. I hated the guy since I met him."
"I wish I could have said that the first time I saw him, but no I had to like him." Logan said.
"We all liked him in high school. He was sweet and charming, but he changed over that one summer." Kyle said popping up and surprising Grayson.
"Woah, Kyle?" Grayson asked giving her a huge hug and smile.
"Hey Gray, long time no see." She hugged back.
"Ok, guys the party is officially here." Patrick said just walking into my house.
"Kaner, are you wearing girl jeans?" Keegan asked.
"Why yes I am. And guess what the best part it?" he said triumphantly,
"What?" Zander asked.
"They have a stretchy waist band." He said lifting up his blue button down shirt to show the waist line of the pants.
"Dude, not only are you wearing female pants you are wearing maternity pants." Brayden said.
"Whatever they are man they are comfortable and since Jayden wouldn't let me wear sweatpants."
"Damn right I wouldn't let you wear sweatpants to Thanksgiving dinner." Jayden and her grandmother came out of the kitchen
"I have to say Pat has the right idea." Mrs. Harris said. "Maternity pants were the most comfortable pants I have ever worn."
"See I am not crazy."
"You keep telling yourself that but it still won't come true." Keith said coming into the house with his wife Kelly-Rae.
"At least I won't be complaining that my pants are too tight when I have finished indulging in this Thanksgiving feast." Kaner said picking up an appetizer plate and piling food high on his plate."
"Don't indulge too much; we do have a game tomorrow."
"I see Jon forgot to switch his Captain Serious pants with his party pants." Sharpie came in with a very pregnant Abby.
"Hey now, I remembered to put my party pants on today." I defended myself.
"Yeah, he hasn't had a constipated look on his face yet today." Jayden said walking over to me and shoving me lightly.
"I bet I can go the whole day without the constipated look on my face." I joked around.
"Sounds like a good idea to me." Jayden said causing her brothers to crowd near.
"So what are the conditions going to be?" Zander asked.
"I was joking."
"Mhm, sure you were. You are just scared." Jayden said putting an arm around my back.
"Of course I am scared. You have an evil mind." I said wrapping my arm around her shoulder and she just smirked at me.
"My girl does not have an evil mind." Seabs said as the oven went off.
"It's ok Seab's he figure it out, I can't hide the truth anymore." Jayden smirked.
"I knew it." I joked putting her in a headlock and ruffling her hair.
Everyone was showing up steadily and luckily for me my brothers were on their best behavior. As we sat down to dinner my Oma told everyone to bow their heads for grace.
I heard Kaner grumble and I had to hold back a laugh because in the Harris family grace was never normal. It was a different one each time depending on who said it.
"Logan will you do the honors?" Oma asked.
"Of course." He said before saying his grace. "Father, Son and Holy Ghost, who eats the fastest eats the most. Amen."
Laughter ensued from all the hockey players.
"That was grace?" Kaner asked surprised.
"What did you expect something like this?" I started before my mother said another grace.
"Our Heavenly Father, we thank you for this food and humbly request that you perform a miracle and remove the calories from desert."
"You know Jayden, your family explains everything about you." Sharpie said before adding. "I love them"
"Oh that's sweet Patrick." Brayden said in a fake sweet voice. "If only we felt the same way about you."
"Yeah, there is only one way we could feel the same way about you." Zander stated.
"Really and what may I ask is that?" I groaned knowing that Grayson would go into a full out speech. Jon put his arm around my back reassuringly while the other was diffing into his food.
"Well Patrick Sharp let's start from the beginning." Grayson started.
"Here we go." Alicia laughed.
"Jayden and us all grew up in the Greater Rochester area, which is just an hour drive outside Buffalo, which also is an AHL team the farm team of our favorite NHL team."
"So let me get this straight. You would only love me I I became a Buffalo Sabre?" Sharpie asked.
"Ah at least he isn't just a Beauty, he has brains too. Good job at getting this one Abby." Keegan said jokingly.
"We I will take the compliments when I get them, no matter how that compliment is delivered." Sharpie said tipping his glass towards Keegan.
"Jayden, when do you get your stiches out?" My father asked, suddenly making the whole table get very serious.
"Tomorrow." I said looking down at my food embarrassed because my brothers taught me how to protect myself and I couldn't do that I am such a failure. "Excuse me" I said getting up from the table and outside to get some air.
"Jay?" Grayson's voice came from the door way a few seconds later. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah" I lied which he could tell and just gave me the look. "No, I failed you guys." I said turning away from him.
"Jay you could never fail us."
"But I got back with John and he was going to kill me and I didn't fight back, you guys taught me how to hold my own and I couldn't even do that."
"Jayden Marie, look at me." Grayson said as he turned me around. "Look at the life you have here? You have your dream job with an enemy team but it is still your dream job. You have all your new friends, and your family who cares deeply for you."
"I know but I promised you guys I would stay safe as long as I moved here and look how that worked out." I said pointing to my head.
"You got hurt by an asshole but you stayed safe." I gave him a confused look. "Jay you don't need us to protect you in Chicago anymore. You have a whole hockey team that will protect you. But all you need is the protection of one of them."
"What?" I questioned getting even more confused.
"There is one man on the team that will you keep you safe no matter what. When I first met him I thought he was the worst person on earth but then I saw him with you again I realized why he acted the way he acted." Gray smiled slightly.
"You are talking about Tazer aren't you?"
He nodded. "Hey Jay take it from me I know you like him more than a friend." I was about to argue when he held out his hand. "Just hear me out ok." I nodded afraid to speak. "I liked someone the way you like Jon. Not that's a lie I love someone the way you love Jon. I had an opportunity to tell her how I felt but I didn't because I was too scared. I was scared at what she would say, what my friends would say, and what you would say. But now she is with someone else and it kills me inside knowing that I have missed my chance, and I don't want you to go through the same thing."
"But I can't do that I could lose everything I have ever worked for." I said.
"Or you could gain everything you will ever need." He said hugging me. "Promise me you will not make the same mistake I did."
"Promise." I said returning the hug, before pulling away. "She loves you too you know. She really isn't with anyone else. They tied it for a couple of days but they quickly found out that they are better friends."
"Wait you know?"
"I am your sister. I always know." I smiled. "Go for it before you miss out on another opportunity." I finished before the door opened revealing Jon.
"Hey guys, everyone is threatening to eat dessert without you two if you don't come in now." Jon said coming outside and putting an arm around me and ushering me inside.
The rest of the day went on without a hitch. Grayson kept looking at Kuyle, most likely trying figure out if he should go for it or not.
"Is Grayson okay?" Jon whispered into my ear as my family, Kyle, Seabs and Kaner were sitting in the living room playing What's Yours Like.
"He has a lot on his mind" I whispered back.
"Goodnight Mrs. Harris." I said.
"Jon if you call me Mrs. Harris one more time I swear to God…"
"Sorry, goodnight Cheryl." I smiled slightly getting pulled into a hug from her.
"Goodnight Jon." She said walking out the door which just left Jayden who was upstairs with Kyle and Grayson, and her other four brothers.
"So Jonathan." Keegan started.
"What are your intentions with our sister?" Logan asked.
"Don't give us what? We saw the way you acted around her. Before dinner you were at her side with a hand on her lower back." Brayden said.
"Then during dinner you had an arm around her shoulder." Zander added.
"Also during the game, you two were cuddled together on the couch" Grayson said coming downstairs alone.
"I am just protective of her now because of what Fucktard did to her." I told them the partial truth.
"And…" Zander asked looking for more.
"And nothing, we are friends that's it."
"You know we don't believe you, but right now we are going to let it slide." Keegan said a little menacingly.
"The reason we are letting this go is because you are starting to get on our good side." Logan said.
"If you weren't there to protect Jayden, she could have died." Brayden said.
"We don't know what we would do without her." Grayson said sadly.
"So if you ever decide you want to date her we will allow it."
"We know you care about her deeply, whether you know it or not."
"Thanks guys." I said not really knowing what to say.
"Remember if you so much as hurt her you will be chopped liver, got it?" Brayden threatened.
"Got it." I said knowing not to cross them.
"Well then I think it's time for us to leave." Keegan said before yelling up to Jayden. "Yo Jay it's time for us to peace out."
A couple seconds later Jayden and Kyle came downstairs with Kyle's suitcase and said goodbye.
"Where are you going?" I asked Kyle.
"I am going back to the 585 and living with Grayson" she smile causing Grayson to blush. "And I should probably find a job now."
"Well then I should say goodbye." I said giving her a hug.
"Take care of her." Kyle said before pulling away from me and saying goodbye to Jayden.
"Well that turned interesting" Jayden told me plopping down onto the couch.
"You can say that again." I said as I sat down next to her pulling her into my side. The perfect way to end the day.

History of Dominican Sisters of Grand Rapids Published by Eerdmans
by Mary Navarre, OP
Posted In: Events & Celebrations, Sister Ministry & Stories
Tapestry in Time The Story of the Dominican Sisters ~ Grand Rapids 1966-2012
Many books have been written by those who think they know what happened to the Sisters during the years immediately after Vatican Council II, but the forthcoming volume, Tapestry in Time, tells the story from the viewpoint of those who actually lived it day by day and year by year through all its joys and sorrows.
The effects of that Council can rightly be described as a seismic shift in the Catholic Church. This was true for all Catholics throughout the world, but in particular it was true for the Catholic Sisters in this country who took the documents of the Council to heart, diligently studied them and changed every aspect of their lives – except their determination to continue their vowed life with a single minded pursuit to do the will of God. The way was neither smooth nor easy.
In the second volume of the history of the Dominican Sisters~Grand Rapids, the story of this period is told through the words and writings of the Sisters themselves. Using the four essential elements of Dominican Life, prayer, study, common life and service, the Sisters recall with honesty, candor, and humor the struggle and the joy of those five tumultuous decades.
Most had been trained since childhood to be compliant and docile; now these women – some well into midlife ¬– found the courage to adopt new ways of prayer, renovate spaces for worship, embrace inclusive language and continue serious academic and theological study in colleges and universities both here and abroad. What effect did these changes have in the ways they lived together and loved each other in large convents with many members and in small groups – or even singly in apartments?
The once closed circle of convent living, of a life set apart, with eyes and mind turned toward the hereafter, changed to a life of ever expanding circles of inclusivity and full attention to the here and now. The reader will learn what structures held and still hold the Sisters together in a joyful sisterhood grounded in the shared blessings of faith, a shared legacy in the Dominican traditions and genuine care for each other.
The challenges and joys of ministry both close to home and far away are revealed. As the Sisters listened with open hearts to the cries of those in greatest need, they found the courage and resources to go where the needs were great in this country as well as in Latin and South America, in Japan, and in post Iron Curtain Russia, Lithuania and Hungary. Hurricanes, earthquakes, epidemics, cold and heat, drought and floods, terrorists and prison were all part of the amazing and unfolding reality of daily life for those who answered the call to travel far from home. No less courage was required of those who stayed closer to home and initiated new ministries in places where the reception was not always understood at first and the guarantees of acceptance and respect were no longer assured.
And what will happen now that so few women join congregations of active, apostolic woman religious in this country? There are no sure answers to this question, but there are interesting speculations.
Tapestry in Time: The Story of the Dominican Sisters~Grand Rapids, Michigan is available for pre-order now and will be available for the general public August 15th. Published by Wm. B. Eerdmans, the book contains over one hundred photographs of Sisters and their colleagues, friends and co-workers as they negotiated the decades of the latter half of the twentieth century.

There is a sense of serenity upon walking into Neal's Yard Dairy: a calm, cool air reminiscent of churches—only in this case, the alter is the cheese counter and the deities truckles of cheddar, blue Stichelton and creamy-faced bries. The parsons are cheesemongers: wise, friendly souls who are never too busy to spare five, 10 or even 30 minutes showing you the stairway to lactic heaven.
If Slow Food were a religion—and to speak to many in the movement, it might as well be—then Neal's Yard Dairy is an apt place of worship; a place ideologically aligned with the Slow Food principles of supporting good produce and the people who produce it, while at the same time rooted in the economic reality of running a business in 2017.
At their maturing rooms in nearby Bermondsey, the wheels vary hugely and demand constant monitoring of temperature, taste and humidity. The dairy's dedicated team of affineurs decide precisely when the cheese is ready, and pass it carefully into the hands of the sales team, each of whom undergo extensive and continuous training as to the traditions and people behind every cheese sold at the dairy, and are kept up to date daily with subtle variations in taste.
To this end, director David Lockwood and Bronwen Percival, the dairy's buyer, spend hours on the road visiting their 40-odd cheesemakers and chatting to them. "People come in here, they see our cheeses on menus, and they assume we're big and successful. The secret to being that is to understand you are never an expert." The staff may look at ease while you meditate the relative merits of Milleens, but in order to do that they are, "flogging themselves behind the scenes".
For example, when it comes to expanding, David and Bronwen felt they needed maturing rooms large enough to accommodate not just their current collection, but the possibility of even more cheese "so when we say we're 'slow', we mean we're acting today for those producers to come—the cheese of the future".
In Borough Market terms, Neal's Yard Dairy is a big business and must act with the requisite mindset—but it's the ability to do this while supporting Britain's farmers and artisanal producers that makes it a standard bearer for Slow Food. Martin calls it "the heavy lifting". At first we think he's referring to the Lancashire wheels, but on reflection we realise it's more than that: it's the business end of Slow Food's idealism—the raffle, cake sale, church collections and bookkeeping for the proverbial church roof.

85th AMS Annual Meeting

Upgrades to and expansion of the Comprehensive Pacific Rainfall Database (PACRAIN)
Michael D. Klatt, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK; and J. S. Greene and M. L. Morrissey
Recorded presentation
Poster PDF (26.4 kB)
The Pacific Ocean plays a vital role in Earth�s climate, and precipitation is one of the most important climatological variables. The Comprehensive Pacific Rainfall Database (PACRAIN) at the University of Oklahoma�s Environmental Verification and Analysis Center (EVAC) is a database of tropical Pacific rainfall. PACRAIN merges monthly and daily precipitation records from a variety of sources into a unified format. Sources include historical archives, national agencies, and resources unique to EVAC such as the Schools of the Pacific Rainfall Climate Experiment (SPaRCE). Many locations contained in the database are atolls which can be considered representative of the open ocean.
Over the past year PACRAIN has undergone several major upgrades. A new data format that is more flexible and conveys more information has been developed. A Web-based interface has been created to take advantage of this new format: http://pacrain.evac.ou.edu/query.phtml. Dates and times have been standardized and converted to UTC, a necessity for a domain that straddles the Date Line. Most database records have been verified against source data for accuracy and completeness, and work in this area continues. All of these improvements are aimed at increasing the value of PACRAIN data to the research community.
Most PACRAIN upgrades to date have focused on improved usability. Now that these upgrades are in place more effort will be devoted to expanding the database in collaboration with the Pacific Islands Global Climate Observing System (PI-GCOS) and the South Pacific Regional Environmental Program (SPREP). One aspect of this collaboration is a detailed search for historical data which can be used to extend the database back in time. Also, PI-GCOS and SPREP are seeking to stabilize and expand observational networks, and this will provide additional data sources for PACRAIN.

Top 10 Covers – Fred Hembeck!
I'm so excited to be able to present this next Top 10 Covers list. The funnest guy in the comics world – Fred Hembeck gives us his Top 10 Covers! Having loved his parodies in the pages of Marvel Age in the 1980's and his Hembeck-ized cover recreations over the years he was the one and only person I even considered contacting when our site needed a logo.
Top 10 Bill Everett Covers – Blake Bell
The 1939 creation of the Sub-Mariner for the first issue of Marvel Comics assures Bill Everett a place in history. Co-creating Daredevil, the Man Without Fear, for Marvel Comics in 1964 gave Everett a link to one of the most popular superheroes of the past 50 years. And producing over 400 additional pages of superhero-related work in the very early days of the Golden Age of Comics (1938-42) makes Bill Everett a legend.
Top 10 Bernie Wrightson Covers
I'm always soliciting people for their own Top 10 Covers list. Part of my "sales pitch" is telling them how much fun it is! No joke, putting these Top 10 lists together is a blast! This week's especially so. Bernie Wrightson has been my favorite artist since I first laid eyes on his work. Looking through the many, many comic covers he's done over the years was pure joy. Let's get to it.
Top 10 Mike Mignola Covers
Best known as the creator of Hellboy, Mike Mignola got his start as an inker at Marvel Comics. Soon he was creating memorable covers for numerous titles (many you'll see below!) before his first real break-out hit, Cosmic Odyssey from DC Comics in 1988. Here are (in my opinion) his 10 best comic book covers. As always I've included images of the original art when I could.
Top 10 Arthur Adams Covers
If you grew up on comics in the early to mid 1980's then you most likely worship at the alter of Arthur "Art" Adams. He is one of modern comic's greatest cover artists. Here's a look at his 10 best. As always, I've included the original artwork when I could find it.
Top 10 Daredevil Covers
I've already submitted my all-time/all-title Top 10 Covers list, but being that I'm a huge Daredevil fan, I had to figure out which Daredevil covers would be considered the Top 10 of all-time. To do that, I had to recruit the help of the good folks over at manwithoutfear.com. (If you're a DD fan and haven't visited their site you don't know what you're missing. Get over there.) It became clear that the history of…
Top 10 Covers – Moises "Mocherz" Jimenez
This installment of Top 10 Covers comes from my good friend Moises Jimenez. Moises is an experimental animation graduate from CalArts. You've likely seen his animation work in the likes of Yo Gabba Gabba!, Metalocalypse or Black Dynamite. Be sure to check out his crazy website too!
Top 10 John Romita Covers – Mike Burkey
This edition of "Top 10 Covers" brings us Mike "Romita Man" Burkey. No one is a bigger expert or fan on John Romita art than Mike Burkey. So when I wanted a Top 10 list of Romita covers there really was no one else to turn to. Mike is also one of the largest and most beloved dealers of original comic book art in the country. I've both purchased and sold pages with Mike in…
Top 10 Covers – Cool Cat Comics and Cards
This installment of 'Top 10 Covers" comes from The Yuan Twins. You may have seen them on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Observe & Report or most recently in the new season of Arrested Development. More importantly they run LA's newest comic shop, Cool Cat Comics & Cards at 10922 1/2 W. Pico Blvd. in West Los Angeles! What makes their store so great? Plentiful parking, they care about independent comics (they produce one themselves!), they're open late (9pm!),…
Top 10 Covers – Tony Isabella
Today's Top 10 comes from comic veteran Tony Isabella. Be sure to bookmark and read his terrific blog 'TONY ISABELLA'S BLOGGY THING" and check out his book, '1,000 Comic Books You Must Read'. This Top 10 list was originally published in CBG in 2007. Take it away Tony!

Hiding in Plain Sight: 24 New Beetle Species Discovered in Australia
Most of the beetles were collected almost 30 years ago, but they remained unnamed until Alexander Riedel, a curator at the State Museum of Natural History Karlsruhe, and Rene Tänzler, a biologist at the Zoological State Collection in Munich, both in Germany, started cataloging them and stumbled across 24 new species that have now been added to the weevil genus Trigonopterus. All of the newly described weevils are restricted to small areas of tropical rainforests along the east coast of northern Queensland, Australia. The new beetle species are also easily overlooked because they live on fallen leaves and dead wood, feeding on leaf litter, bits of palm fronds and other rainforest plants, basically recycling plant material, the scientists added.

Researchers find possible ninth planet beyond Neptune
By Irene Klotz CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (Reuters) - The solar system may host a ninth planet that is about 10 times bigger than Earth and orbiting far beyond Neptune, according to research published on Wednesday. Computer simulations show that the mystery planet, if it exists, would orbit between about 200 and 1,000 times farther from the sun than Earth, astronomers with the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena said. "It's a pretty substantial chunk of our solar system that's still out there to be found, which is pretty exciting," said astronomer Mike Brown, whose discovery was published in this week's Astronomical Journal.

New Seafloor Map Reveals Secrets of Ancient Continents' Shoving Match
Tectonic plates may have inched across the Earth's surface to where they are now over the course of billions of years, but they left behind traces of this movement in bumps and gashes under the sea. Now, a new topographic map of the seafloor has helped researchers chronicle when the Indian-Eurasian continent formed as well as find a previously undiscovered microplate that broke off as a result of the event.

Racing Pigeons Fly Home Faster in Polluted Air, Scientists Find
China currently has an air pollution problem so severe that smog is occasionally dense enough to be visible from space. Using publicly available data gathered from environmental and pigeon racing agencies, scientists analyzed pigeon performance in 415 races that took place on the North China Plain, where concentrations of air pollution are higher than anywhere else in the country, the scientists reported. By comparing the pigeons' racing times to records of pollution levels on race days, the researchers hoped to learn whether air pollution might affect how well the pigeons performed during the races, the scientists said.

Even Centenarians Are Living Longer
In recent years, the death rate among American centenarians — people who have lived to age 100 or older — has decreased, dropping 14 percent for women and 20 percent for men from 2008 to 2014, according to the report, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In other words, "the risk of dying for centenarians decreased" over this period, study author Dr. Jiaquan Xu, of the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, told Live Science. In 2000, the top five causes of death for centenarians were heart disease, stroke, influenza and pneumonia (the two conditions are grouped together), cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

Eating Healthy Fats May Reduce Deaths from Heart Disease
Encouraging people to eat healthy fats such as those found in olive oil or fish could help prevent more than a million deaths from heart disease worldwide each year, according to a new study. In fact, the number of deaths from heart disease due to insufficient intake of healthy fats is almost three times' greater than the number of deaths due to excessive intake of saturated fats, according to the researchers. "Policies for decades have focused on saturated fats as the priority for preventing heart disease, but we found that in most countries, a too-little intake of healthy fats was the big problem, bigger than saturated fat," said study author Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian, of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University in Boston.

Low-Fiber Diet May Change Gut Microbes for Generations
Diets that are low in fiber may cause irreversible changes to populations of gut bacteria, and those changes may be passed on over generations, new research suggests. What's more, the depleted microbial community, called the microbiome, was passed on from parent to offspring, and worsened over time: After four generations of mice had eaten a low-fiber diet, most of the bacteria species normally found in the animals' gut microbiome were completely missing, the researchers found. The study, which was published Wednesday (Jan. 13) in the journal Nature, may have implications for humans, said study lead author Erica Sonnenburg, a microbiome researcher at Stanford University in California.

Early Egyptian Queen Revealed in 5,000-Year-Old Hieroglyphs
About 60 drawings and hieroglyphic inscriptions, dating back around 5,000 years, have been discovered at a site called Wadi Ameyra in Egypt's Sinai Desert. Carved in stone, they were created by mining expeditions sent out by early Egyptian pharaohs, archaeologists say. For instance, one inscription the researchers found tells of a queen named Neith-Hotep who ruled Egypt 5,000 years ago as regent to a young pharaoh named Djer.

From sawdust to petrol
By Jim Drury As world governments mull over global emission targets agreed at last December's United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21), attention is turning to which new technologies can help them achieve this. Researchers at the University of Leuven say they have part of the answer, having devised a way to convert sawdust into valuable chemicals and the building blocks for gasoline. By developing a unique chemical process in their laboratory at the Centre for Surface Chemistry and Catalysis, outside Brussels, they can convert the lignin in sawdust into aromatic chemicals and the cellulose into hydrocarbon chains.

SAG 397 Apprenticeship in Sustainable Agriculture provides students with hands-on experience working on a diverse organic Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) produce farm and marketing the produce in the local community ((http://ukcsa.wordpress.com). Students receive training across the full range of production and marketing activities under the guidance of the Course Coordinator and the professional staff of the farm management team. Apprentices also have opportunities to interact and learn from researchers at the Horticultural Research Farm. By overlapping academic semesters, SAG 397 introduces students to the seasonal nature of market gardening and affords them a broader range of experiences. This fall-registered course is required for all majors and minors in the program and work typically begins in April and continues until November. In addition to working on our farm there are opportunities to work on other area farms and gain experience in other sustainably managed systems, such as livestock and agronomic crops.
Through 15 weekly lectures during the summer and 200 hours of hands-on farm work spread across the growing season, students are trained in a comprehensive array of production practices including seed germination and transplanting, irrigation, soil fertility and maintenance, pest management and equipment operation and maintenance. In addition, student responsibilities include the weekly harvest, preparation and delivery of produce to CSA members during the growing season. It is expected that students work ~4-6 hours per week during the semester and ~10-15 hours per week during the summer. Students arrange their work schedule with the Course Coordinator and CSA Manager. Students taking SAG 397 must be prepared to work reliably and safely under the physically demanding conditions experienced on a commercial farm.
~ Develop and apply the fundamental skills needed to establish and maintain a small to medium scale organic produce production system including seedling establishment, fertility management, pest control, harvest, and equipment operation and maintenance.
~ Understand how the CSA model functions and gain direct marketing experience by participating in the weekly delivery of shares to CSA members.
~ Serve as a responsible and productive member of a work crew that sets goals, shares responsibilities, coordinates activities, follows through on commitments, and meets objectives.
~ Express in oral form the technical knowledge and personal insight gleaned during the apprenticeship experience.
~ Convey a working knowledge of organic production and the certification process, and identify significant management issues for converting a conventional management system to a certified organic system.
If you need more information you can contact the course coordinator Mark Williams at mark.williams@uky.edu.

Ready to invest in Miami ? Learn how to flip a foreclosed property for profit! We can help you learn how to do it and what to watch out for! In our latest post, we discuss how to quickly flip a foreclosure for profit in Miami .
One of the first things you learn in real estate school is "caveat emptor" or "let the buyer beware." This means that when you buy a property, you not only own the property but all of the defects therein. When you are purchasing a foreclosed property, it is incredibly important that you are cautious with your purchase. Some foreclosures can be much more trouble than they are worth. The low price tag might be tempting, but remember, it's low for a reason. That said, even in today's market, you can still make money flipping foreclosures in Miami . Keep reading for some of our best tips!
Bank owned, or foreclosed properties are typically purchased from the bank via auction sight unseen. These properties have been taken over by the bank who now needs to resell the home to recoup their loss.
Pre-foreclosure simply means the current owner has fallen behind on their mortgage payments. The proceedings can take months to start after the first payment is missed. During this time, you will likely be able to get a great price for the home. The seller is motivated which can work in your favor. Pre-foreclosures can be tough to find, work with a pro such as Capital Rise Investments to find the best deals.
A short sale occurs when the owner is still in possession, but they make an agreement with their lender to sell the house for a lower amount than what is owed on the house. A short-sale may or may not be in pre-foreclosure. Short sales can take a long time to close, so expect the process to take a bit longer than a traditional sale.
When you buy a foreclosure, most of the time you will not have investigatory rights. This means no home-inspection, which also means you could be buying a home with more repairs than you can possibly handle. When homes fall into foreclosure, they have often been neglected by their previous owners. This can mean a lot of repair work and clean-up for you.
Make sure you check the title before making an offer. When you buy a foreclosure, you are also taking on any liens or previous mortgages tied to the property. Even if you decide to take care of the issues yourself, you should know what you are getting yourself into before signing on the dotted line.
Where Is The Current Owner?
Will you have to evict the current owner yourself? In some situations, the previous owner is still occupying the house, and you will have to go through the process to evict them yourself. If you are buying a foreclosure, you should make sure it doesn't come with an occupant!
Investors love to find a good deal on a foreclosure. Many potential buyers will make cash offers, which can be much more appealing to someone who wants to sell quickly. In addition, getting a loan for a distressed or fixer-upper property can be difficult. Try to have your financing in place and ready to go before making an offer.
When you buy a foreclosed property, sometimes repairs can take longer than expected. And once they are done, you may not find a buyer as quickly as you would like. Every day you own the property, you are losing money. Between the property's monthly bills, maintenance and loss of income, you could be losing thousands. Be prepared for this and calculate these estimates into your calculations when making an offer on a home. You don't want these unexpected, yet fairly common situations to negate your profits. If you are not able to flip it right away, you might consider having a plan to rent it out until the market changes a bit and the home becomes more in demand.

Penguins Defense Locked Up for 2 Years; But Is It Good Enough?
Photo from Iconsports Wire
The Pittsburgh Penguins are set. The team which won back-to-back Stanley Cups but stumbled on its way to number three will get at least two more cracks at Lord Stanley. Every top nine forward, except Carl Hagelin, is signed for at least two more years. Thursday, the Penguins signed defenseman Jamie Oleksiak to a three-year deal which means their blueline corps is also locked up for at least the next two seasons, too. But, the question remains: Is the Penguins defense, which struggled last season, good enough to wrap their arms around 34 pounds of silver?
The answer is a definite…maybe.
Defenseman Kris Letang will not decide as much of the Penguins fate in 2018-19 as he has for much of his career, but he is still the blueline engine.
The 12-year veteran had very good statistics last year, but even he admitted it was a frustrating, inconsistent year. Letang is far and away the Penguins most talented defenseman and the team cannot replace what he can contribute. When he is on his game, the offense is dynamic and opponents scramble to keep up.
You know the flip side when Letang is not. His 89 giveaways was a career high and can't be repeated.
If the Penguins do cut his minutes, as the team and player have admitted, to get the most from Letang, the other two pairings will have to pick up about 40 minutes per night, which means the second and third pairing will each play about 18 to 20 minutes.
This is the reason the Penguins will spend nearly $27 million on their defense this season, currently the second-highest total in the league behind only Carolina.
Last season, Justin Schultz proved his reclamation project to be complete. His work in the defensive zone was efficient and straightforward. Word around PPG Paints Arena was the coaches consistently gave Schultz high marks during film study. Schultz sacrificed a little bit of offensive push for greater command of the defensive zone, and that was just fine. He has become an upper tier second-pair defenseman.
But who will take Schultz' left side on the second pairing is a bit of a mystery.
The only defensive pairing which is set in stone is Brian Dumoulin with Letang. After that, the Penguins have three defensemen who could play on Schultz' left, and those same three defensemen could also play the right side on the third pair.
Rolling the third pairing for anything close to 20 minutes would be nearly unique to the Penguins and for the Penguins. Most third pairs play 12 to 14 minutes per night, which is the reason the Penguins signed defenseman Jack Johnson. Johnson can play big minutes and provides a little thump to go along with his puck moving ability.
Fortunately, the Penguins blueline corps is deep with talent. The additional minutes won't be a problem for Jamie Oleksiak, 25, who is on his way to finishing his reclamation ala Schultz. Nor would the extra minutes be a problem for Olli Maatta, who was steady last season. Maatta, a five-year veteran, is only 23-years-old.
What the Penguins lack is a little bit of balance. Only Letang and Schultz are right-handed, which means the Penguins will push one of their lefties to the backhand. It's not a significant issue, but it's not ideal, either.
The Penguins blueline could well be Stanley Cup worthy. It has talent, depth, a pair of defenders who can punish opponents, and six defensemen who can play with the puck while maintaining their responsibilities. However, last season turnovers were an epidemic which caused even more problems. If the Penguins take care of the puck, they should be one of the better corps in the league.
In addition to Letang's 89 turnovers, Dumoulin misplayed the puck a career-high 43 times. Maatta had career-worst 50 giveaways. Schultz was the safe bet with only 27.
"If" and "should" are the keywords for the defensemen. The Penguins have enough talent and a unique mix of skilled defensemen. It could be a great unit which increases the Penguins chances for another Stanley Cup, but until they prove the 2017-18 turnover totals were a fluke, the answer remains…maybe.

Brazil police conduct investigation of Indigenous 'genocide'
After the government declared a medical emergency, Brazil airlifted 16 malnourished Yanomami tribal members to receive immediate medical treatment.
Desperately malnourished Yanomami children, Surucucus region. (URIHI – Associação Yanomami)
Brazilian federal police are conducting an investigation into a "genocide" against the Yanomami people after it emerged that nearly a hundred children from the Indigenous group lost their lives, the Justice Ministry announced on Tuesday.
The announcement came at the heels of a governmental report that revealed Saturday that 99 Yanomami children living on Brazil's largest Indigenous reservation -- all under the age of five -- died last year from malnutrition, pneumonia, in addition to malaria.
Simultaneously, Brazilian Justice Minister Flavio Dino announced that he would order a federal police investigation into "strong indications" that the Yanomami had suffered crimes including genocide.
The investigation will look into the activities – and failures to act – of authorities and public health professionals on Yanomami property, as well as potential environmental crimes.
During a recent visit, authorities discovered many more cases of youngsters suffering from severe malnutrition, malaria, respiratory infections, and other health issues, as per the Ministry.
On his account, Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva accused on Sunday his former President Jair Bolsonaro's far-right administration of committing genocide against the Yanomami people of the Amazon.
The Brazilian President blamed his far-right predecessor for abandoning Indigenous communities and encouraging thousands of miners to flood the Yanomami enclave during his 2019-2022 government.
Last month, the Yanomami leader Junior Hekurari told The Guardian that Bolsonaro's government was that "of blood".
Brazil airlifts starving Yanomami tribal
After the government declared a medical emergency, Brazil evacuated 16 malnourished Yanomami tribal members to obtain immediate treatment.
This comes shortly after hundreds of Yanomami children died from malnutrition.
The deaths have resulted from water pollution caused by mining and logging in the thickly forested area, which is riddled with food shortages.

James Blake has signed an exclusive global publishing deal with Pulse Music Group. Scott Cutler and Josh Abraham, co-CEOs of Pulse Music Group, and Maria Egan, president and head of creative, announced the signing for future works.
Already a Grammy winner earlier this year (for "King's Dead" with Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar and Future, from the "Black Panther" soundtrack, which was named best rap performance), as well as a nominee for best new artist, the London-born Blake has collaborated with such artists as Beyoncé (he co-wrote and co-produced "Forward" on 2016's "Lemonade"), Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, Bon Iver, Vince Staples and Metro Boomin, among others. Signed to Republic Records, he has released four albums since 2011 with combined streams nearing one billion.

"We are honored to be able to join forces with such a seminal artist as James Blake," said Egan. "This is such an important signing for Markell and our team in our mission of creatively supporting the best in class in music of all genres."
Added Markell Casey, Pulse's senior director, creative: ""I'm thrilled to be working with James as he is an artist I've admired for many years. It's a testament to the brilliant team here at Pulse as he could have gone anywhere else but instead chose to be with us."
Founded in 2008, Pulse's client roster includes Rick Rubin's American Songs, Nas' Mass Appeal and Marc Anthony's Magnus Media, and is credited on such hits as Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito" (featuring Justin Bieber, and via Marty James), Maroon 5's "Girls Like You" and Camila Cabello's "Havana" via Starrah among its share of more than 150 million units of recorded music sales and 10 billion-plus audio streams.

Holy Week is upon us and we find ourselves faced with the mystery of redemption, symbolized by the crucifix we put on our walls.
At this time of year, I always think about a man I knew who would take his crucifix off the wall, and place it right in front of him as we worked. The physical reminder of putting Christ at the center of our lives is powerful.
This week, try to meditate on the crucifix. Take it off the wall, and think about a particular station of the cross that speaks to you.

Poultry health Government and regulatory
25 March 2013, at 8:40am
GERMANY - The German veterinary authorities have reported an outbreak of low pathogenic avian influenza at a poultry farm located in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) received follow-up report no. 2 on 22 March 2013. The LPAI outbreaks date back to December 2012.
A total of 22 birds were found susceptible, out of which one case was reported. The affected bird was reported dead. The remaining 21 birds were destroyed.
According to the OIE, H5 and H7 avian influenza in its low pathogenic form in poultry is a notifiable disease as per Chapter 10.4. on avian influenza of the Terrestrial Animal Health Code (2012).

Donplaypuks® at http://donplaypuks.blogspot.com: KERISMUDIN BANS 35 UNLIKELY LOCAL BOOKS!
Hot on the heels of police led raids on publishers and bookshops and confiscations of all known copies of 'The March To Putrajaya' by Kim Kwek (sounds very suspicious, this Chinese name with only two parts; must be a Zionist plot) and Zunar's cartoons, Home Minister Kerismudin I Apologise, Not, left no stone or page unturned in ferretting out more possibly seditious and dangerous books by local authors that might sow the seeds of riots and revolution as in Tunisia and Egypt.
Kerismudin claimed at a press conference at the national airport accompanied by 60 "empty" Xtra Large Samsonite suitcases and Buntutsan Daily and New State Parsely, Sage Rosemary and Thighimes Newspaper hacks that, of course, what had occurred in Tunisia and Egypt and had seemingly spread to Algeria, Bahrain and Yemen, could not possibly be replicated here because the people were in full possession of all the government works of fiction. Nevertheless, he proposed 'to nip things in the bud' as 'Squad Fahrenheit 451' flaming officers from his 'book 'em Dano' division went full swing into action to remove from bookshelves across the nation, 35 potentially "inflammatory" books penned by several local writers . Kersimudin assured the public that all flammatory books were safe.
The unlikely books, titles and authors' names are classified under OSIBISA (Official Secrets, Intelligence, Banking and Internal Security Act).
Read 'em and weep! More books may soon be added to the above list!
donplaypuks® with my books, man!
Haha!!! I was almost fooled when I saw your blog title in my Google reader LOL!!! I thought to myself - what the??? How come I missed this piece of news? With much haste, I came to your blog with the click of the mouse and voila - I have been greatly entertained.
Love the excellent word play and puns.
As always, please blog more often!!!
God knows we need more humor in the net to keep sane with all the madness raging around!
Take care and till we meet again!
P.S. I echo MWS when she says "blog more often!!!"
Glad it brightened up your day. Perahsp you could be inspired to contribute some titles as well?
Don lah leave me in suspenders! Wonder who you are.
Blog more often? Law of diminishing returns... the more I write, the less I write!
Any other titles you heard of banned?
Well done again bro.More of this and we shall have a compulsory text book for fifth form English next year. You would be rich at last.
Can I get these books from Amazon ? I seem to have missed these great Malaysian tomes.
How come Rumour/Humour/Tumour by Midnight Voiz didn't make it to 35+1?
Don listen to rumours. No chairs for me! Ciao!

In the September 16th edition of The Economist, Pittsburgh receives a rave review. My favorite Burghonomist describes the young talent that Richard Florida overlooks:
Although the region's overall education levels are not that impressive, says Chris Briem, an economist at the University of Pittsburgh, those figures are partly skewed by its high ratio of elderly residents. Among Pittsburghers 25-34 years old, by contrast, 41.9% have graduated from university, placing the city among America's top ten. More than 17% of those young people have also earned an additional graduate or professional degree: the fourth-highest share in the country, behind only Washington, DC (think lawyers), Boston and San Francisco.
That's some impressive company. Florida's demographic analysis measures the brain migration flows a bit differently, thus missing Pittsburgh's potential:
Concern has been mounting in the United States and elsewhere over the so-called brain drain, or the movement of talented university graduates from one region or state to another. Many regions are trying to figure out ways to keep graduates from leaving or to lure them back when they get older. But no place retains all the people it educates, and the most successful regions both generate talent and attract it from other places. Numerous studies have shown that the availability of a strong pool of local talent can trump both good physical resources and low costs in attracting corporations to a region and growing the local economy.
To identify such regions, we developed a measure we call the "Brain Drain/Gain Index." We calculated it as the percent of the population age 25 and over with a B.A. degree or above, divided by the percent of the population age 18 to 34 attending college. A region with an index above 1.0 is a "brain gain" region, while one with an index below 1.0 is a "brain drain" region. Only 10 percent of the more than 300 metropolitan areas that we studied were net attractors of talent. Just 10 regions boast scores of 1.25 or above; another five score higher than 1.20; and eight score more than 1.15. In San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Fe, and Washington, college students make up more than 30 percent of the population, and more than 40 percent of the work force has a college degree.
Florida's article doesn't show all the regional brain drain/gain scores, but he does conclude that regions such as Pittsburgh "lack the talent and tolerance to compete at the cutting edge." Pittsburgh does not rank well on Florida's index because of the large number of old people in the area. As the elderly die over the next 25 years, Pittsburgh's substantial knowledge capital will move to center stage while the currently booming Sun Belt cities deal with the same aging demographic problem that is hindering Pittsburgh now.
