20 new ocean species found in Indonesia

By MICHAEL CASEY, AP Environmental Writer Wed Feb 28, 7:39 PM ET

BANGKOK, Thailand - Twenty new species of sharks and rays have been discovered in Indonesia in a five-year survey of catches at local fish markets, Australian researchers said Wednesday.

The survey by the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, or CSIRO, represents the first in-depth look at Indonesia's sharks and rays since Dutch scientist Pieter Bleeker described more than 1,100 fish species from 1842-60.

Researchers said six of their discoveries have been described in peer review journals, including the Bali Catshark and Jimbaran Shovelnose Ray, found only in Bali, and the Hortle's Whipray, found only in West Papua.

Papers on the remaining 14 are being prepared.

"Indonesia has the most diverse shark and ray fauna and the largest shark and ray fishery in the world, with reported landings of more than 100,000 tons a year," said William White, a co-author of the study. "Before this survey, however, there were vast gaps in our knowledge of sharks and rays in this region."

From 2001 to 2006, researchers photographed and sampled more than 130 species on 22 survey trips to 11 ports across Indonesia. More than 800 specimens were lodged in reference collections at the Museum Zoologicum Bogoriense at Cibinong, Java, and the Australian National Fish Collection at Hobart.

The survey was part of a broader project working toward improved management of sharks and rays in Indonesia and Australia, researchers said.

"Good taxonomic information is critical to managing shark and ray species, which reproduce relatively slowly and are extremely vulnerable to overfishing," White said in a statement. "It provides the foundation for estimating population sizes, assessing the effects of fishing and developing plans for fisheries management and conservation."

Oh, how I wish this was not true:

I'm going outside to shovel the snow packed sidewalks.

Are you going to make some snowmen?

Snowpeople, sorry.

There is enough snow in my yard to make a snowmen double for the entire population of India.

But no, I didn't. Maybe if my younger cousins were over. Much too cold, and there are blowing snow warnings.

We're getting ice pellets here, and it's a really big storm. I almost crashed my van when driving to school this morning

country roads where I live have been real icy, I have a rear wheel drive too, so the front end of the car goes all over the place.
I had a funny dream two years ago, it was so vivid, it almost seems like I had it yesterday... yesterday... yesterday. I was in a fairly large house, not my own, but it was in this dream, I dreamt that thurston and kim came knocking on my door and came in, I was overwhelmed, even in a dream, they came in asking if they could stay over a night. I showed them a spare bed, double bed, with clean sheets. Then when they left I ran up stairs to the bed they were on and jumped on it to then discover they had left one giant mess of sex goo all over the sheets.
How weird is that, I never dream of these things, I think it was triggered by watching that corporate ghost vid of them kissing on a bed.
Anyone else had any bizarre dreams like this of sonic youth members or any other bands?

i now have the internet at work! thank god for local councils.

Hooray!

oy you going to shellac lee man??

Don't have any tickets yet and it's quite an annoying date.
So I think I'll have to pass.

yeah same, its making me angry

I have something in my fridge called PowerBait Trout Turbo Dough.

It is chartreuse and has glitter in it.

According to the label, it is 42% STRONGER! But it doesn't say what it is stronger than.

It is made in the USA in Spirit Lake, Iowa

Here are the instructions: "Firmly cover the hook with enough Trout Bait to float for best results."

It smells like feces and play-dough mixed together.

fo posting in my thread and upping your post count all have to rep me. ALL MUST NOW!!!!

oh it is, it is.

i've put the heating on but it doesn't seem to be making any difference.

again, if you want to post in my thread you must rep me

rep meeee rep rep i am the master of this thread ! you shall all rep me.

ok, I'll rep you....but WHY?

does it really matter all that much?

please tell me that yr feelings of self-worth aren't tied to these little green boxes!

Galactorrhea

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jump to: navigation, search
Galactorrhea or galactorrhoea is the spontaneous flow of milk from the breast, unassociated with childbirth or nursing. It can be due to dysregulation of certain hormones or local causes such as excessive nipple stimulation.
Lactation requires the presence of estrogen, progesterone and prolactin, and the evaluation of galactorrhea includes eliciting a history for various medications (methyldopa, opiates, some typical antipsychotics) and for behavioral causes (including licorice, stress, and breast and chest wall stimulation), as well as evaluation for pregnancy, pituitary adenomas (with overproduction of prolactin or compression of the pituitary stalk), and hypothyroidism. Overproduction of prolactin leads to cessation of menstrual periods and infertility, which may be a diagnostic clue.

I have a new-found respect for the Milky Way.

i do not know

And so the endless stream of washroom blues flows merrily down a long descent of wallpaper turning into my empty old shoes that have set my soul onfire but not completely so that I am only just able to grip onto a small chair and hold onto it until i have swallowed enough water to have created a small city.

i need some sleep.

goodnight to you all.

Bullshit.

holy shit, its zakk wylde

i secretly want someone to fail really badly.

okay?

hey im back.

hey there man, whats up?

not much, i seen suicidal tendancies on friday, was pretty rad. and went to a DnB gig on sunday. Had my art class today. And i havnt masturbated since..last wednesday, so going a full week now...

jimmy page releases new riff
 

GWYNEDD, WALES—Calling it the planet's last, best hope for saving rock music, the Guardians of the Protectorate of Rock announced Monday that they would take the extraordinary step of unleashing a never-before-heard Jimmy Page riff, hidden for decades in a mythic, impenetrable vault.

Some speculate that this is the gate to the secret vault.

"We who believe in the immortality of rock took a vow 30 years ago that we would never release this incredibly powerful force unless we faced a Day of Reckoning—and that day has come," said Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi, one of the chosen few who helped forge the Secret Vault to Save Rock and Roll, at a press conference in the Welsh highlands. "Just look at the pop charts, and you shall know I speak the truth."
"Let's give rock and roll its fucking balls back," he added.
The Guardians said recent developments in the music world, such as the unaccountable popularity of the Dixie Chicks and Sufjan Stevens, have created a "perfect storm of lameness" from which rock might never recover. While Iommi refused to say when the vault would be opened, hard rock sources believe it will take place just prior to next month's Fall Out Boy–Honda Civic tour, which many fear will suck the remaining lifeblood from all that still rocks.




"Citizens of Rock, we refuse to stand idly by any longer," ZZ Top founder and Protectorate High Elder Billy Gibbons said. "When a puss like James Blunt is allowed to rule the airwaves, we must respond by exposing this monster riff, and blowing minds into the stratosphere."
The Protectorate, devoted to the preservation of badass jams and blistering guitar solos, was reportedly formed in the 1970s during the rise of adult contemporary music. According to legend, the riff, played only once by Page and recorded on a special cobalt record, contains the raw power, mind-blowing skill, and unbridled passion of all the Guardians combined. Recently translated parchments from the era describe it as a soul-searing power-chord progression faintly resembling a cross between "Smoke On The Water" and "Living Loving Maid," but "basically defying all description."
It is believed that, upon the riff's release, even those who claim that the genre is dead will have no choice but to pump their fists, bang their heads, and bow down to the gods of rock for all eternity.
"May God have mercy on our souls for what we are going to set loose upon the world," proclaimed Queen guitarist Brian May, dressed in druidic robes and bathed in the rising blue smoke of a nearby fog machine. "Will it save rock or destroy mankind? We have no way of knowing—yet we have no other choice."
Members of the Protectorate were each given only partial information about the location of the vault, which they were instructed to open in unison only in the event of a total Rockopalypse. While some believed the vault was buried in Boston, Chicago, Kansas, Europe, or Asia, others claimed it could be found in the Court of the Crimson King.
However, after piecing together clues hidden in Yes album covers and Pink Floyd liner notes, rock historians now believe the riff is locked away deep beneath the Welsh countryside house known as Bron-Yr-Aur, at rock-grid coordinates SH735026. British weather satellites have also photographed an enormous cloud, shaped like a hybrid of an upside-down question mark and cross, forming above these exact coordinates.
The vault's Key, regarded as too staggering a burden for any one man to bear, was divided in two parts, with half entrusted to Eddie Van Halen and half to David Lee Roth, shortly after Roth left the rock supergroup Van Halen. The two men, who have refused to work together for 20 years, recently announced plans for a historic reunion tour.
"Before we shake Heaven and Earth with the vicious power of this riff, we of the High Council of Elders of the Guardians of the Protectorate of Rock ask you: Are you about to rock?" AC/DC guitarist Angus Young said. "If so, we salute you."
When asked to comment on the possible dangers of using the riff, Sir Paul McCartney seemed surprised.
"There's a secret vault to save rock and roll?" McCartney said. "This is the first I've heard of it."
