Knoxville Zoo opening new exhibit
Knoxville Zoo is set to open a new addition in its popular kids area on May 1. The Barn Loft is an area for children and adults to learn more about some animals often found in a barn's rafters.
The Barn Loft features rats, mice, snakes, spiders and barn owls. In addition to having the opportunity to see these animals close up, this exhibit will include fun interactives about these animals and their roles in our environment. There are also photos and artifacts about different types of barns and equipment used throughout East Tennessee history.
The Barn Loft is part of the Clayton Family Kids Cove that opened in April 2005. Kids Cove is a zoo place to play based loosely on an early 1900s Appalachian farm. It features a play cabin, playground with a giant sandbox, custom-built animal carousel, water play area, a model cow kids can milk, the very popular contact yard where kids can pet and brush goats and sheep, a beaver exhibit where visitors can get a first-hand look at how beavers build their dams and much more. The zoo plans to continue to expand and improve Kids Cove this year. In October the zoo will open the Night Club at Kids Cove. This new exhibit is being designed as an abandon mine shaft featuring bats, skunks and raccoons.Now is also a great time to visit the zoo's new special exhibit of naked mole-rats in the Pilot Traveling Exhibit Center. These little creatures have been an instant hit with zoo visitors. Get a preview of them on the WBIR Naked Mole-Rat Web-cam by visiting the zoo's Web site at www.knoxville-zoo.org.
Knoxville Zoo is located off exit 392 from Interstate 40 and is open every day except Christmas Day. The zoo is nationally accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and is committed to the highest standards in animal care and well-being, ethics, conservation, and education. Currently, the zoo is open weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and on weekends from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission and ticket sales stop one hour before the zoo closes. Next-day admission is free after 3 p.m. For more information, please call 865.637.5331

Week 18 - Hardy Perennials
Situation: Some companies manage to perform well through thick and thin.There are lessons to be learned by looking at price performance over the short, intermediate, and long term. Stocks that yield more than the S&P 500 Index provide more of their total return from dividends than price appreciation, but a consistent price appreciation is indicative of dividend payouts that will keep increasing. It can also act as a tip-off to where the economy might be headed.
Goal: Find common characteristics among the companies that compose the updated ITR Master List and have outperformed the S&P 500 Index over the last 3 mo, 1 yr, 5 yr and 15 yr intervals.
These 11 stocks fit the above criteria and made our cut:
In a previous blog, we discussed what we called Lifeboat Stocks which are companies that sell consumer necessities and carry low debt. This blog's particular group of ITR stock picks has prices that tend to track the S&P 500 Index during bull markets but hold up better during bear markets. Interestingly, of these 11 stocks we find that 5 (MKC, ADP, ABT, NEE, and WMT) are also Lifeboat Stocks. What does this tell us? Quite simply put, that the past 15 years have been dominated by bear markets.
The remaining 6 stocks (CVX, XOM, OXY, MCD, CL, and NSC) represent "core holdings" that tend to track the ups and downs of the S&P 500 Index. In order to outperform in hard times, these 6 companies would also have to be producing, transporting, or selling essentials. And this does appear to be the case: gasoline stations, electricity, and fast food restaurants have become necessities in our modern society. Each of these 6 companies also faces strong competition, so their out-performance has to be rooted and grounded in management's focus on innovation and execution.
Hardy perennials are flowering plants that take root and then continue to sprout and grow on a yearly basis. This requires a root system that is adapted to surviving sometimes severe weather, often with less than ideal soil conditions. Gardeners come to think of hardy perennials as being not that much different from weeds in that they can be difficult to eradicate and highly adaptable. We will revisit companies that continue to behave like "hardy perennials".
Bottom Line: We are living through some tough times. The strongest companies remain those that focus on meeting the average consumer's basic needs.

New NHS Alliance today welcomed NHS England's commitment to employ 1000 additional Social Prescribers as an important step for the NHS. It demonstrates a recognition at the highest level that some health problems can be addressed through non-medical solutions.
However, New NHS Alliance calls on NHS England to go much further and recognise the health benefits that come when people and communities are helped to solve their own problems. Health Creation is a tried and tested approach to enabling this. It comes about when professionals and people work together as equal partners and focus on what matters to people and the community.
Commenting on the NHS England announcement, Merron Simpson, CEO, said, "While welcome, there's a danger that social prescribing could become just another part of our current transactional health service, with referrals into existing services alone. Tailored care must go hand-in-hand with people and community-led and informed solutions, cross-sector working and asset-based approaches that increase the level of meaningful connections between people and lead to increased confidence and control over their lives".
"New NHS Alliance is ready to work with general practices to ensure that their approaches to social prescribing lead to lasting improvements in the health of people and communities, particularly those where the impact of health inequalities is greatest".


Using only basic hand tools or simple power tools available for hire at all good tool hire depots, you can create your own beautiful maintenance free landscape. For our step by step installation video, click here » or read our steps below.
Download our fitting instructions and handy step-by-step guide.
Nomow comes on a roll either two or four metres wide.
Ground preparation – If you're replacing turf, first job is to dig off and remove the old turf to a depth of 40mm. You can use a flat shovel or for larger areas a mechanical turf cutter.
Laying the base – Spread a layer of sharp sand over the area to a depth of 35mm. Even this out using a trowel and straight edge and compact using a heavy builders plank or for larger areas use a powered vibrating plate compactor. It's important to pay particular attention to this part of the installation removing dips and hollows and re-compacting several times if necessary.
Remove any loose debris and make sure that the surface is dry. No geotextile will be required on a concrete base. Place the carpet in the correct position, joint if necessary and trim all edges. Pull back the carpeting exposing the concrete base and apply adhesive in long strips 25mm wide at 250mm centres in the direction of the slope of the concrete (This will enable any water filtering through the carpet to run between the beads of adhesive and off the concrete base – bearing in mind that if the concrete holds water now, it will still hold water – there must be a fall/slope for effective drainage).
The stone surface should be well compacted and free draining if possible. If the crushed stone is difficult to grade to a satisfactory standard, spread and level 35mm of sharp sand as detailed above. Geotextile and Nomow can now be laid in the normal way.
It is very important to anchor the Nomow on a steep slope to stop the turf creeping down the slope over a period of time. Using the nails provided, fix along the upper edge at 300mm centres, 50mm in from the edge of the carpet making sure the angle of fixing does not lean towards the slope. If the slope is greater than 45 degrees the grass will need to be fixed to a solid beam at the top of the slope using screws with 25mm washers at 250mm centres.
Once you have prepared the base, just follow these steps to your perfect new garden!
Lay the geotextile making sure that all the edges are in line with the proposed grass edge. Ensure that all separate pieces are overlapped by 300mm. Take the Nomow and lay it over the proposed area making sure all the rolls are laid so the pile faces the same direction.
Trim the edges of the lawn to the desired shape using a Stanley knife or similar. To make cutting along the edge easier fold the excess carpet over and push down firmly following the edge, cut the carpet into 10cm strips back along the fold, then cut along at the base of each strip.
Trim edges of carpet to produce a neat edge ready for jointing (if required).
Take a piece or white backing tape and lay it between the rolls of carpet (shiny side down) and secure with a couple of pins.Mix the adhesive, parts A & B, ensuring that both components are mixed properly. There should be no streaks left from part A or B.
Spread the mixed adhesive 3mm thick to within 25mm from the edge of the backing tape and place in position. Fold over the carpet onto the adhesive making sure the fibres don't get caught in the adhesive. When folding over the carpet a 3mm gap between the carpet rolls is ideal. Leave to dry for 24 hours if possible (Dependant on temperature).
Pin the edges using 150mm galvanised ground pins. These should be hammered into place on an angle every 200mm around the perimeter. A nice detail is to turn the grass into a groove in the ground to hide its edge.
An alternative edge detail is to spread a concrete layer often called a haunch around the perimeter. This should be approximately 50mm deep by 100mm wide with a smooth flat top level with the top of the sand. Once set the grass can be glued to this using the same joining adhesive.
Nomow can also be fixed to timber battens or decks using 30mm galvanised clout nails at 50mm centres.
Finishing – Once the grass is trimmed to size and any fixing or jointing adhesive has fully set, use a stiff brush working against the grass pile to lift the pile and remove any flattening which may have occurred during storage transport or installation.
Enjoy many years of your beautiful Nomow lawn.
No Mud No Mess No Mow!

Storm damages fishing boat, raises Holy Hell in western Newfoundland
December 31, 2016 Canada
High winds tore through a home in Lark Harbour, Nfld. on Friday, ripping off the roof and leaving the building in shambles. The RCMP said Friday night the community was experiencing "hurricane force winds," and warned residents to stay inside. "High winds are blowing large pieces of debris through the air," the RCMP wrote in a news release at about 8:30 p.m. Friday. "[We ask] people not travel to the area as it's proving unsafe to do so." A fishing boat that was featured in Discovery Canada's Cold Water Cowboys reality series was heavily damaged during severe weather in Port Saunders, on Newfoundland's west coast. Conway Caines's fishing vessel, called Sea Doo, was washed into the beach after high tides and heavy winds caused it to break away from a wharf Friday afternoon.

West Coast Crab Strike Set to Expand Further South
December 31, 2016 Pacific
Crab fishermen from San Francisco and Half Moon Bay are set to join Humboldt Bay fishermen in a crab strike that has now spread from Bodega Bay to Westport, Washington. The strike is over a 25-cent price drop proposed by one of the largest seafood companies on the West Coast, Pacific Group, which owns Humboldt-based buyer Pacific Choice Seafood Inc. When the strike expands to Half Moon bay, it will account for approximately 824 miles of the West Coast and according to Ken Bates, vice president of the Humboldt Fisherman's Marketing Association, could potentially tie up 400 to 500 boats. Bates said no action or progress was expected to take place over the New Year's holiday — although the meeting is set for 11 a.m. Saturday — and that smaller fish companies are waiting to continue to buy crabs at $3 a pound, which has been the original negotiated price since November, but they are unwilling to risk buying crabs if Pacific Group, the company behind the price drop, is successful in lowering the price.

US Doubles Down On Wave Energy, $40 Mil For New Test Bed
December 31, 2016 Offshore Wind/Industrialization, Pacific
It looks like the US is about to get much, much more serious about developing its vast wave energy potential. Researchers have been working at several relatively modest sites in Hawaii and the Pacific Northwest, and now the Energy Department has announced funding for a new, $40 million utility scale test site in the waters of the continental US, off the coast of Oregon. The new wave energy test site will be built and operated under the auspices of Oregon State University's Northwest National Marine Renewable Energy Center. In a press release announcing the plan to invest up to $40 million in the nation's first utility scale wave energy test site, the Energy Department noted that more than half of the population of the US lives within 50 miles of a coastline. All things being equal, coastal populations are expected to grow, but getting zero emission energy to coastal regions is becoming more complex and difficult. Aging coastal nuclear power plants will most likely not be replaced, and population density limits the potential for utility scale wind farms and solar arrays on land. Another limitation for land-based renewable energy in coastal areas is the need for new long distance transmission lines. Plans have been in place for years to bring wind power from the wind rich midwest to points east, but the new lines have had to battle against fossil fuel interests as well as local stakeholders. One solution is to tap the waters of the US coastlines. Read the rest here 12:40
3 reasons the FFAW says FISH-NL can't be trusted
Friday morning in St. John's, FISH-NL formally filed for union certification with the Labour Relations Board so its members can leave the FFAW. The board will review the signed membership cards to determine if FISH-NL has enough support to trigger an official certification vote via secret ballot. FFAW secretary-treasurer Dave Decker outlined the reasons his union feels FISH-NL, led by former NDP MP Ryan Cleary, cannot be trusted. Cleary will not reveal how many fish harvesters have pledged their support to FISH-NL by signing the membership cards submitted to the Labour Relations Board Friday. Decker said that shows they don't have enough support. He said roughly 10,800 harvesters are registered with the Fish Harvesters Certification Board, a provincial body, so FISH-NL knows how many there are. "I don't think actually that they do have several thousand cards signed," said Decker. Read the rest here 10:51
There are more fish in the sea – A high-tech battle for the future of the New England fishing industry
December 31, 2016 Maine Science, New England
The high-tech battle for the future of the Massachusetts fishing industry is being waged aboard a western-rigged stern trawler named the Miss Emily. Onboard the commercial groundfish vessel, in addition to the satellite positioning system and other sophisticated tools that have become standard in the industry, are at least five computer monitors and a $14,000 fish-measuring board that has halved the time it takes to gauge the catch. State officials say it's money well spent. Federal catch limits — caps on how many fish each boat can catch — have devastated the state's most iconic commercial sector, fishermen say. In response to an outcry from the struggling local groundfishing industry, environmental officials are now using the Miss Emily to try to come up with a new — and, they say, more accurate — estimate of codfish in the Gulf of Maine. Under a survey launched last April, local fishermen hope new technology and an aggressive timetable will yield what they have concluded based on their own anecdotal evidence: There are more fish in the sea.

'F/V Western' removed from Coos Bay, Marine Board to seek reimbursement from owner
After many months of planning, the F/V Western was removed from Coos Bay on December 21, Oregon State Marine Board said. The work to remove the vessel occurred over the last two weeks by Billeter Marine. The Western, a 70 foot long, 78 gross ton wood-hulled fishing vessel built in 1934, sank near the Empire boat ramp in January, 2015. In August, the Marine Board was awarded a $55,000 grant from the NOAA Marine Debris Program. The project, titled, "A partnership for the removal and prevention of abandoned and derelict fishing vessels along the Oregon Coast," includes $17,500 matching cash from the Marine Board and $22,500 from the Department of State Lands, as well as in-kind services from Oregon SeaGrant, and staff from the coastal public ports and marinas. Billeter Marine successfully lifted the F/V Western from the water and disposed of the vessel through approved methods on land, officials said. The Marine Board says it will be seeking reimbursement from the owner for the disposal costs. Read the story here 09:25
Alaska commercial fishing picks and pans for 2016
December 31, 2016 North Pacific
The start of 2017 marks the 26th year for this weekly column on Alaska's seafood industry that aims to make readers aware of the economic and cultural importance of our state's oldest industry. Alaska fishermen and processors provide 65 percent of our nation's wild-caught seafood; it is also Alaska's most valuable export to more than 100 countries around the world. The bulk of Alaska's fishing fleet of nearly 10,000 vessels is made up of boats less than 50 feet long. Each is a small business that supports several families. For fishing towns like Kodiak, Cordova and Homer, where 500 to 700 vessels are home-ported, those boats are essentially the majority of our downtown store fronts. Call it a mall in a marina. Here are my fishing picks and pans for 2016 — a look back at the best and worst fish stories of 2016, in no order, plus my choice for the biggest story of the year.

STRIKE!!! – Commercial crabbers strike on West coast
Commercial fisherman from Morro Bay, California, all the way to the Canadian border have gone on strike. Crab pots are piled on boats still tied up in the harbors all along the West coast because Bandon Pacific and other wholesale buyers want to pay 25 cents less than the negotiated price to fishermen on the southern Oregon cost. "This is all over a quarter," said Charleston fisherman Jim Thornsberry. "Thousands of people are out of work because processors don't want to pay us what they are already paying fishermen in California." John Corbin, fisherman out of Columbia River and the chairman of the Dungeness Crab Commission, explained that $3 per pound was the negotiated price prior to the Brookings and Port Orford crab opening. "But then the processors dropped their price on Monday and we went back to the negotiation table, but they drew a line in the sand at $2.75,,, Corbin said there is usually solidarity among fishermen, and is glad "we are all tied up together."

Japan sees crab prices surge as poached Russian imports sink
December 30, 2016 Canada, International News, National, North Pacific, Pacific
Prices of crab, a sought-after delicacy in the year-end and New Year's period, are surging because of a sharp fall in imports, especially from Russia and Alaska. Imports provide most of the crab distributed in Japan, and wholesale prices are some 30 to 50 percent higher than a year ago. Imports of red king crab, a popular variety, came to about 4,270 tons from January to November, less than half the annual record set in 2012. "This year's red king crab imports could be on par with the level in 2015, which was the lowest in recent years," said an official of a major fisheries company. Imports of snow crab, another popular species, have also been falling recently, industry officials said. Crab from Russia has been dwindling due to tighter regulations on poaching and illegal exports that began about two years ago. Before that, more than 50 percent of Russian crab distributed in Japan was poached, the fisheries company official said. Ports in Hokkaido that used to be busy handling crab from Russia are now quiet. Read the story here 16:50
DFO says nothing out of the ordinary with the environment where sea creatures washed up dead
The distressing amount of sea life and diversity of species found dead on some beaches along the Bay of Fundy over the past few weeks has been puzzling. So far, tests haven't revealed what's killing the sea life. Federal scientists went out on the water Thursday to examine the physical environment, taking water samples, testing dissolved oxygen, salinity and temperature — all of which were normal. They also scanned images of the bottom of St. Marys Bay off the Bay of Fundy. The video showed normal conditions with no masses of dead organisms that one would expect if the cause was an ongoing environmental problem. "We have ruled out the usual suspects," said Kent Smedbol, manager of population ecology for DFO. Read the story here 15:31
'Don't worry, I can do it' – Tragic final words of experienced fisherman who drowned at sea
December 30, 2016 International News
A Fisherman with ten years experience downed at sea while trying to untangle a line after telling crew members "don't worry I can do it". Darren Brown was swept away while trying to pull free a whelk pot and his body was never found, despite an eight-hour search by lifeboats and a coastguard helicopter. The 37-year-old was lost in the 13C waters in June. A report into his death found a lifebuoy which could have helped to save his life was not "readily available". On June 9 this year, deckhand Darren and his crewmates were on board the whelk boat, 'Our Sarah Jane', which had set sail from Shoreham, West Sussex, in good conditions. Just before midday a fishing line attached to one of the whelk pots became caught in the propeller, tying the boat to the seabed. The skipper radioed for help, but Darren said "I'll be alright. I can do it, don't worry" before jumping overboard with a knife in his hand. Read the rest of the story here 14:20
Banana Republic of Mexico and Sea Shepherds Round Up Fishermen to "save" the critically endangered Vaquita
Crew from six fishing boats in Mexico's Sea of Cortez were arrested by the Mexican Navy, after they were caught using illegal fishing nets to poach banned fish in a marine reserve. The fishermen had been spotted by the Sea Shepherd vessel scow Farley Mowat, which tracked the six boats until navy officials could arrive on the scene. According to Sea Shepherd, a nonprofit marine wildlife organization, the fishermen were using banned gill nets to catch totoaba bass, a rare fish Mexican law has protected since 1975 but one that is nonetheless poached for its swim bladders, which, at an estimated US$20,000 per kilo, fetch a high price on China's black market. The fishing boats were stopped and their crews apprehended without incident. Read the story here 12:25
Governor John Bel Edwards Appoints Jack Montoucet as Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Chief
December 30, 2016 Gulf of Mexico
Acadiana lawmaker Jack Montoucet has been appointed secretary of the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries by Gov. John Bel Edwards. Montoucet, 69, represents District 42 in the statehouse, which includes Acadia and Lafayette parishes. He has been a fierce ally of Edwards in the House. He officially takes over Jan. 16. Patrick Banks, assistant secretary of the office of fisheries, will serve as interim secretary until then. Montoucet will replace former Secretary Charlie Melancon, who was forced out by the administration. Melancon, a former congressman, clashed with recreational fishermen and U.S. Rep. Garret Graves, R-Baton Rouge, over fisheries management since taking over as secretary. He also had a fractious relationship with some lawmakers for changes within the agency.

FISH-NL presents certification application to Labour Relations Board
The Federation of Independent Sea Harvesters of Newfoundland and Labrador (FISH NL) presented an application this morning to the Labour Relations Board requesting that the organization be certified as the new bargaining agent for inshore fish harvesters. The application includes membership cards signed by thousands of harvesters from more than 300 communities around the province. "We feel we have the support of more than 50 per cent of all inshore harvesters — we certainly had the support of more than 80 per cent of all harvesters we encountered," said Ryan Cleary, President of FISH-NL. "What we're attempting has been described — not as a raid of another union — but as a full fledged revolt." Over the coming days and weeks, the Labour Relations Board will review FISH-NL's application and verify the membership cards. The Board will determine whether FISH-NL has the support of at least 40 per cent of fish harvesters, which would trigger a secret ballot vote by the Labour Relations Board. That vote will ultimately decide which union will represent fish harvesters. 10:28
East Coast Fishermen: not so fast with that wind farm
December 30, 2016 Mid Atlantic
Could sea scallops and longfin squid be reason enough to stop an offshore wind farm on the coast of New York and New Jersey? The Fisheries Survival Fund, which represents the majority of the U.S. Atlantic scallop industry, claims the site picked for the farm is on documented fishing grounds for both commercially important species. It claims the wind turbines would shut fishermen out. The group is the lead plaintiff in a federal lawsuit filed against the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) and Sally Jewell, the secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior. The BOEM has jurisdiction over the sea floor. Other plaintiffs include the Garden State Seafood Association, the Fishermen's Dock Co-Operative in Point Pleasant Beach and the Borough of Barnegat Light. Read the story here 09:51
Scientists test water to narrow down what's killing herring, sea creatures at St. Marys Bay
Federal scientists are testing water samples and scanning images of the bottom of St. Marys Bay, hoping to determine what caused thousands of herring and sea creatures to wash ashore near Digby, N.S. Staff aboard a vessel gathered samples Thursday and used an underwater camera to film and photograph the ocean floor. Kent Smedbol, manager of population ecology for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) in the Maritimes, said the data will be examined to try to figure out whether an environmental factor caused the fish to die. "It could be an intrusion of very cold water very rapidly, it could be related to a rapid change in salinity with the storms that have gone through … due to the sudden influx of fresh water, rain or runoff from the land," he said. "Depending on what we find, then hopefully that will allow us to discount a number of possibilities and focus our efforts on some possible explanations." Read the story here 08:55
Fish Seek Cooler Waters, Leaving Some Fishermen's Nets Empty
December 30, 2016 Marine Science
Studies have found that two-thirds of marine species in the Northeast United States have shifted or extended their range as a result of ocean warming, migrating northward or outward into deeper and cooler water. Lobster, once a staple in southern New England, have decamped to Maine. Yet fishing regulations, which among other things set legal catch limits for fishermen and are often based on where fish have been most abundant in the past, have failed to keep up with these geographical changes. Reflecting these tensions, Senators Richard Blumenthal and Christopher S. Murphy, both Democrats of Connecticut, noted in a letter to the acting inspector general of the Commerce Department in June that fishermen in their state were experiencing "extreme financial hardship" because the apportionment of resources was so outdated. Although such shifts in allocations are possible, said Tom Nies, the executive director of the New England Fishery Management Council, in practice they are difficult to execute. "If you're giving fish to somebody, you're taking them away from somebody else," Mr. Nies said. Read the article here 08:03
FISH-NL leaders to meet with Labour Relations Board, address reporters on Friday
The leaders of an upstart union movement in Newfoundland and Labrador will reveal their strategy for a certification bid Friday, months after launching a bitter and divisive campaign to try and raid the province's influential fisheries union. Representatives from the Federation of Independent Sea Harvesters (FISH-NL) will visit the Labour Relations Board in St. John's in the morning, and plans to speak with reporters at their office on Job Street at 11 a.m. "All will be revealed tomorrow," FISH-NL president Ryan Cleary said. The FFAW has also ramped up its criticism in recent weeks, accusing FISH-NL of having no real plan for the fishery and trying to weaken the bargaining power of harvesters. Read the story here 18:48
Ringing in new round of 'fish wars' as ADFG manages budget
In the face of yet another round of budget cuts, Alaska's largest private employer, the seafood industry, will have entirely new management schemes to sort out and live under in 2017 alongside status quo projections for harvest in key fisheries. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game will take another budget cutback responding to the state's multi-billion dollar deficit that has yet to be patched. Gov. Bill Walker released a proposed fiscal year 2018 budget on Dec. 15. Among other cuts, Walker proposes a budget of $28.9 million for ADFG. This is a 36 percent reduction from the fiscal year 2015. ADFG will have to find ways to deal with budget cuts to monitor key fisheries stocks, including the iconic king salmon that has fallen in abundance beginning in the late 2000s. Further, commercial fisheries management programs will suffer,,, Fish wars renewed – As usual, much of Alaska's year will center around salmon. Among the biggest items for Alaska's state fisheries will be the two-week 2017 Upper Cook Inlet meeting of the Alaska Board of Fisheries. Read the rest of the article here 16:25
Georges Bank said to be 'paved with fluke! Fishermen Assail NOAA Quotas – Schumer fears major job losses
Commercial fishermen on the draggers seen offshore last week took advantage of calmer seas and the State Department of Environmental Conservation's raising of the daily limit on fluke from 70 to 210 pounds. The higher limit was in effect from Dec. 18 through Friday as the state's annual quota for the fish, highly sought by commercial and recreational fishermen alike, had not been reached.,, Mark Phillips, who fishes on the F/V Illusion out of Greenport, was once among the largest harvesters of fluke in the state, landing a few hundred thousand pounds per year, by his count. The problem, Mr. Phillips said, is that stock assessments are inaccurate because NOAA conducts surveys — such as with its ship the Henry B. Bigelow, which collects data in waters from Maine to North Carolina — when fluke are migrating from undersea canyons to inshore waters. Read the story here 14:49
Provincial fees could hurt Port Saunders fisherman's business
Eugene Caines, a commercial fisherman from Port Saunders, hopes to continue operating a cod grow-out site. However, fees being imposed by the province, may shut him down. What was once just a $100 fee for cod grow-out, he says, has jumped to $500 to $2,000 in just a few years. The aquaculture renewal fee for cod grow-out operations, imposed by the province's Department of Fishery, Forestry and Agrifoods, is $1000 for 2017. Then there's the new annual fee, established by the province's Department of Environment and Climate Change. That's another $1,000. Given the fee increases, Caines hopes to be able to combine his cod quota with another harvester in 2017, to not only have more quota but to possibly reduce manpower costs. Cains also needs to know whether or not he will be able to use traps to catch cod. Read the story here 12:40
South Carolina Working Waterfront: Rural attitude, commercial fishing still embraced in McClellanville
December 29, 2016 South Atlantic
McClellanville stands apart from other working waterfronts in South Carolina in a couple of important ways. Its geographic isolation has helped maintain a rural attitude, and commercial fishing remains the economic driver for the community. These days, the town that got its start as a summer resort for plantation owners has the least touristy feel of South Carolina coastal communities. The small commercial section of the Jeremy Creek waterfront is dominated by two commercial docks—at Carolina Seafood and Livingston's Bulls Bay Seafood. A public boat landing with limited parking spaces gets crowded on weekends and during the public shrimp-baiting season in the fall, but most of those boats head into the Intracoastal Waterway and leave the working waterfront behind.

2016 hauled in mixed bag for Alaska commercial fisheries
As with any season, 2016 had plenty of winners and losers in the Alaska commercial fishing industry. The year started off with a huge sigh of relief from Upper Cook Inlet salmon setnet fishermen when the Alaska Supreme Court over-ruled a decision by a Superior Court judge that would have allowed a ballot measure to ban setnets in "urban areas," but was targeted at Cook Inlet. If the ballot measure had been allowed to go to a vote and had won, it not only would have made it more difficult to manage the sockeye fishery, but it also would have eliminated the livelihood of the 700 Upper Cook Inlet setnet permit holders, 85 percent of which are Alaska residents. At the beginning of the year, halibut fishermen were feeling optimistic,,, Salmon fisheries across the state fell far short of expectations,,, Read the rest of the story here 11:33
Police smash cocaine smuggling ring at Sydney Fish Market in Christmas Day raid
A former rugby league first grade player, a Bondi entrepreneur and several fishermen are among 15 men arrested on Christmas Day in a multimillion-dollar cocaine ring bust. Police will allege the syndicate imported more than a tonne of cocaine via NSW ports and included experienced fisherman, marine workers and company owners. Australian Federal Police Acting Assistant Commissioner Chris Sheehan described the alleged syndicate as "robust, resilient and determined". Several of the men were arrested on Christmas Day on board a shipping vessel named Dalrymple docked at the Brooklyn Marina on the Central Coast. Read the story here 10:36
Baird government commercial "catch share" fishing reform will see Newcastle Fisherman's Cooperative lose members
The head of the Newcastle Fisherman's Cooperative says he doesn't know how many members will leave as a result of the Baird government's commercial fishing reforms. Robert Gauta has told a NSW parliamentary inquiry that the reforms had led to "uncertainty" over how many of its members "will stay and how many will go". Set to come into play from the middle of 2017, the government's reforms to the $90 million commercial fishing industry link fishing rights with catch levels. The government argues the reform will make the industry sustainable, but the introduction of minimum shareholdings will also mean commercial fishers may need to increase their holdings to maintain the same catch level. "The cooperative makes money when the fishers catch fish; it is that simple … fewer fisherman would mean fewer fish." Read the story here 09:58
Search called off for missing crew member of capsized Belgian-registered fishing boat Assanat Z-582
The Coastguard has called off a search for a crew member missing at sea after a fishing boat (identified here through FiskerForum.com)capsized off the Kent coast. One crew member was winched to safety from the Belgian-registered boat, while another was also rescued from the water later, but has since died the other remains missing. UK Coastguard duty controller, Kaimes Beasley, told Sky News a "passing merchant vessel" had spotted an "upturned hull with a gentleman clinging to it" just after 7.30am. He said a Coastguard helicopter and three RNLI lifeboats, from Ramsgate and Harwich, had been involved in the search, focusing on an area from north east of Ramsgate to the mid-channel. He later told reporters: "This has been an extensive and comprehensive search of the area. "We are standing down the search this evening because of the fading light. "It is unlikely that the search will resume in the morning unless we get further information that will help us find the third crew member." Link 08:45
Crab fishermen strike for higher price per-pound from Bodega Bay north through Oregon and Washington
Crabbers from Bodega Bay north through Oregon and Washington to the Canadian border went on strike Wednesday afternoon after wholesale Dungeness crab buyers sought to lower the per-pound price fishermen earn for the much sought-after crustacean. Fishermen have agreed to either cease crabbing in areas off the Sonoma Coast where the Dungeness crab season has already opened, or delay the start of their season in hopes of retaining the $3-per-pound price they have earned fishing in Northern California's rich waters so far this year, according to Lorne Edwards, president of the Bodega Bay Fisherman's Marketing Association, an industry trade group.

President Obama Signs Water Bill With Big Ag 'Poison Pill' Rider
December 28, 2016 National, Pacific
In a slap in the face to fishermen, Tribes, environmental justice advocates, conservationists and family farmers, President Obama on December 16 signed the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation (WIIN) Act into law with its environmentally destructive Big Ag rider sponsored by Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). The controversial rider in the bill, opposed by retiring Senator Barbara Boxer, taints an otherwise good bill that sponsors water projects across the nation. The last minute rider, requested by corporate agribusiness interests, allows San Joaquin Valley growers and Southern California water agencies to pump more water out of the Delta, driving Sacramento River winter-run Chinook salmon, Central Valley steelhead, Delta and longfin smelt, green sturgeon and other fish species closer and closer to extinction, according to Delta advocates.

FFAW's 5-cent-a-pound lobster 'levy' most shocking of all secrets uncovered in 2016
Of all the questions that have been raised about FFAW secrecy/conflict of interest in recent months, one of the most shocking discoveries was that the union had proposed a 5 cent a pound 'levy' on lobster. Fish harvesters didn't know about the FFAW proposal (how unbelievable is that?) until FISH-NL brought it to light in early December, and it was the Seafood Producers of Newfoundland and Labrador who actually killed it (how's that for the ultimate irony, processors standing up for harvesters — and not their union). Find details of the FFAW proposal here. The FFAW argued the 5 cent levy was to cover the union's "management" of the fishery. To quote the union: "The bulk of the work once conducted by DFO is now being done by the FFAW, with no financial or in-kind support from the processing sector."

Crab price spat delays season – Fishermen in District 7 not fishing until the buyer offers the original $3
Negotiations with Pacific Group failed to secure an acceptable price range for local crab fisherman in District 7, stretching from Humboldt Bay's North Jetty to Point Arena in Mendocino. Crab prices have been set $3 a pound since the November opening of the season. Pacific Group, which owns Pacific Choice Seafood in Humboldt County, has proposed crab prices be reduced to $2.75 per pound. According to Ken Bates, vice president of the Humboldt Fishermen's Marketing Association, if fisherman decided to fish for less, local boats would lose between $7,000 to $10,000 for the average medium to small boat. "Fisherman representatives have been meeting all (Tuesday) afternoon in Newport, Oregon, and as of 4 p.m. there have not been any resolutions. We may continue (Wednesday) and there's a possibility that the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife will set a mediation, which is a compromised price on the crab," Bates said. "The buyer wanted to drop the price and attempted to lower it by 25 cents." Read the story here 13:53

Career guidance and help to find your perfect place in life!
Job Seekers: Check Your Online Presence!!
Last weekend I was conducting a workshop on job search skills for college graduates. The audience was great… they listened, asked good questions and even laughed when I thought I was being funny. One thing became very clear: college students and recent graduates, although (very) frequent users of social media sites, do not realize the impact of what they put online.
Recent surveys have reported that over 70% of American hiring managers DO check to see what job candidates put online and job offers are rescinded if they don't like what they see.
An email address should be a professional one and your name and cell phone number should be included in the signature line. Be very careful what you put in an email: the "e" in email stands for evidence and everlasting.
On to Twitter. Do not tweet that you were late for work or that you hate your boss… it will be seen. Do not tweet anything that will make you look less than professional.
Be sure that any blogging is done in good taste. The grandmother standard is a good one to use here as well.
WHAT THE EXPERT SAYS: Relax. Call the managers who said they would give you good references and explain why you left before the end of your notice period. And be honest: Tell them that you were at the end of your rope with your new boss and you thought it would be best for both of you if you left as soon as possible. You're not the first person to do this. Obviously, the managers who offered references know your work record, since you were with the company for a long period before the new boss came on board.
Do some homework before you go out on interviews. Write out everything you accomplished in the five years you spent at your old job. Did you receive any promotions during your tenure? Any special recognition? Were any employees placed under your management? It is important that you use this information and present it positively to an interviewer.
Then tackle how you will answer interview questions about why you left the company. Diplomatically, say that although you like the job, your new boss and you had different approaches to handling problems. Tell the interviewer you felt it was best to leave and spend your energy on finding new employment rather than spin your wheels and hope the new boss and you would find common ground to work on.
Also, step back and reassess what type of job you really want. Although you did not get along with the new boss, your dissatisfaction with him actually could have been based on boredom that crept over you as you performed the same tasks every day over five years. If this is the case, you need to figure out what you really want to do, and what will challenge you and hold your interest for the next few years.
If you agree that you need to explore the possibility of searching for a different type of position, then pick up What Color is Your Parachute? 2011 A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers by Richard Nelson Bolles. This is the classic career searcher's bible. The exercises will help you pinpoint the type of job or career that suits your interests.
Our services are available without charge to students & prospective students, alumni, families and friends of TMC. Services include resume preparation, job search training, interview preparation, and assessments to help choose a college major or lifetime career.

Relative of victim killed by woman on alleged crime spree 'afraid' she'll kill again
Lee County Sheriffs Office(NEW YORK) — The ex-stepdaughter of a Florida woman shot dead — allegedly by a woman seeking to steal her identity — said she was "in total shock" to learn what happened to her beloved family member.
Lois Riess, 56, is wanted for allegedly fatally shooting her husband in Minnesota and then killing and stealing the identity of 59-year-old Pamela Hutchinson in Florida.
With Riess still on the run, Hutchinson's former stepdaughter, Robin Barry, told ABC News she feels very nervous.
"I'm just afraid she's gonna get desperate," she said of Riess. "Because she might feel the need for another person's identification … and hurt someone else, somebody else's family or loved one."
Barry said Hutchinson and her father had been married for 20 years. They divorced two years ago, she said, but "my dad never stopped loving her."
Barry was about 25 years old when Hutchinson came into her life, she said. She remembers Hutchinson "as a loving, caring, vibrant person," with a memorable laughter and smile.
"She was so good to my girls," Barry said of Hutchinson's relationship with her daughters, now ages 21 and 19.
Hutchinson had "been around since the day they were born," Barry said. "She was just fabulous and loved my girls to pieces."
Barry said Hutchinson had moved from Virginia to Florida a year ago after the divorce.
"She really liked doing a lot for charity work," Barry said. "Trying to make things better in the world."
After Riess allegedly killed her husband in Minnesota, she allegedly stole his money and then drove to Fort Myers Beach, Florida, authorities said. There, Riess met Hutchinson and then allegedly killed her and stole her ID, credit cards and car, said the Lee County, Florida, Sheriff's Office.
Barry said she's now constantly checking her phone "looking for an update, hoping she's been caught."
"I don't understand why somebody who's not a professional can evade the law for this amount of time," she said. "It's just mind-blowing."
After allegedly killing Hutchinson, the Lee County Sheriff's Office said Riess used her victim's ID to withdraw $5,000. On April 6, Riess arrived at a Hilton hotel in the Ocala, Florida, area, where authorities claim she used a stolen credit card to pay for her room, the sheriff's office said.
Riess was later spotted in Louisiana and the Corpus Christi, Texas, area, but remains at large, the sheriff's office said.
She is expected to continue targeting other women who look like her to steal their identities, authorities said.
The Lee County Sheriff's Office said Mexican authorities and border patrol are on "full alert" that Lois Riess may try to get into Mexico.
Lois Riess is described as having brown eyes and light blonde hair. She is 5-foot-5 and weighs 165 pounds.


Sacha Inchi oil was studied for its physicochemical characteristics, chemical composition, radical scavenging activity and storage stability. The fatty acid composition was studied by gas chromatography–flame ionization (GC–FID) and the analysis showed that the oil is highly enriched in α–linolenic (43.5%) and linoleic (39.6%) acids. The tocopherol content in the oil analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography/ultraviolet– visible detector (HPLC/UV–VIS) was also high (161.87 mg.100 g-1). Both DPPH and ABTS assays detected relatively high radical scavenging activity. After twelve months of storage, the oil showed relatively good storage stability. The results will help guide further investigation of the health benefits of Sacha Inchi oil for the population and the development of better edible oil products and nutraceuticals.

Best universal remote controls | Best buys | What Hi-Fi?
The idea of a universal remote is to allow you to use just one remote rather than two, three or four, to control your TV and AV system. Want to turn on your AV amp, TV and Sky box in one fell swoop? And for them all to be on the right input? A universal remote can do that with one touch of a button, and let you control the channels and volume.
While smartphones and tablets may now be capable of doing much the same thing, as well as living-room-owning devices like the Xbox One, we think there's something to be said for not relying on your smartphone for yet another task in your home.

WHEN pilot Des Porter, 68, took off from Monto airstrip just after 11am on Monday in his 1934 de Havilland DH84 Dragon biplane with a full complement of passengers, he had the odds stacked up against him.
He was flying into heavy weather on a route over rugged country without any navigation and flying aids and with the least effective emergency locator beacon recommended by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
By 1.30pm when he activated his personal locator beacon which lacked the accuracy of the more sophisticated GPS model, he was in deep trouble no longer able to navigate by the terrain below him.
As cloud closed in robbing him of spatial awareness, he would have struggled to keep the plane level.
Somehow the aircraft, which had his wife Kath, 61, Des D'evlin, 75 and his wife Janice, 61, John Dawson, 75, and his wife Carol, 63, on board, was still flying when scratchy radio contact was made at 2.30pm by Rick Harvey a crewman on the AGL Action Rescue Helicopter based at Maroochydore.
The helicopter had been dispatched by AMSA to try to locate the plane and guide it to ground.
With weather continuing to close in, contact was lost.
Soon afterwards the beacon's signal cut out and the plane, either out of fuel or because Mr Porter had become disorientated without visual reference points, smashed into a ridge 14km north-west of the Borumba Dam wall.
The personal locator beacon on board the doomed plane is a type more usually used by bushwalkers and four-wheel drivers but is authorised by the Civil Aviation Authority.

Detailed Report of Possible Bomb Warranted Evansville Lockdown
The initial report of a possibly explosive device in a car on Thursday was detailed enough that it warranted immediate action to block access to and evacuate parts of Evansville, a Natrona County Sheriff's spokesman said Friday.
"When you compare it [to real bombs], she wasn't wrong," Sgt. Sean Ellis said.
The object turned out to be a capacitor for a car audio system, but no one knew that at the time.
Thursday afternoon, a woman was looking for paperwork for a car parked on her property in the 800 block of East Fifth Street. She wanted the paperwork to file a report and have the car removed from her property, Ellis said.
She saw a cylindrical object with wires protruding from each end, he said.
When she touched one of the wires, a digital readout on the object began counting down starting at 9.6, Ellis said.
The countdown continued, stopped and resumed, he said.
The woman called her husband, described what was happening, and he told her "'it's a f-ing bomb,'" Ellis said.
The woman called 911 at 1:40 p.m., and reported what she saw.
The information she gave was sufficient enough to warrant the multi-agency response that started with blocking the entrances to Evansville, Ellis said.
Law enforcement notified neighbors on that block to evacuate, and began notifying neighbors in surrounding blocks to evaluate, he said.
In such situations, authorities identify places with the highest concentrations of people who are not able to help themselves and then commit resources there, Ellis said.
That meant sending a team of officers and medical resources to the nearby Evansville Elementary School, he said.
In describing the incident, Ellis said authorities have a simple choice: take time to look at it or conduct and immediate and massive response.
The woman's description of the device, which was later identified as a capacitor with a voltage display, was thorough enough to warrant such a response, he said.
Unfortunately, authorities got push-back from some people who resisted being told to evacuate or being ordered not to enter the restricted areas of Evansville, Ellis said.
