Halibut
The first of five planned “all-depth spring” halibut fishery begins today off the Oregon Coast between Cape Falcon on the north and Humbug Mtn. on the south. The sport fishery stays open through May 10th. The next “all-depth” fishery is scheduled May 15-17. The catch limit this season is just shy of 160,000 pounds. The near shore halibut fishery opened May 1st.
Tall Ships
The Hawaiian Chieftain “tall ship” arrived in Coos Bay first, but the Lady Washington rejoined its companion later on Wednesday. Both “Tall Ships,” at the Downtown Docks arrived later than planned. Rough weather made the trip from Crescent City, CA to the South Coast longer than planned. Jeremiah Gimplin is the captain of the Hawaiian Chieftain. He says it’s his first command and he’s taking the historic replica nearly the entire length of the West Coast from San Diego to Canada. At sea, he says they try to sail as much as possible, and in a year’s span, over 15,000 school children will visit the ship and take the educational tour while in port. The two ships are scheduled to leave tonight to arrive in Newport by Saturday.
Sea lions
While a two-state investigation continues into what killed six sea lions trapped in cages on the Columbia River last weekend, a court hearing scheduled for today in California has been cancelled. The Humane Society of the United States says it has reached an agreement with state and federal officials over the planned killing of sea lions on the river. Wildlife officials are trying to protect the trapped endangered species of salmon at the base of the Bonneville Dam. More and more sea lions from the Pacific Ocean are swimming 140-miles up stream to feast on the trapped salmon each year. Loud noises and rubber bullets have failed to dissuade the mammals from their meal. This year, the National Marine Fisheries Service approved a plan to kill some of the more aggressive predators, but the Humane Society intervened. Officials have determined the six sea lions found dead in closed cages were not shot, and they are not sure how they died, or how the traps were closed.
ODFW
They are a long ways from the Pacific Ocean, but their decisions Thursday and Friday could help restore or enhance fisheries along the Oregon Coast. The Oregon Fish & Game Commission meets the next two days in La Grande in Eastern Oregon. While the Commission is expected to formally adopt cervid rule language for ranching polices, they will also be asked to approve grants for 19-differnet projects to improve fisheries through the ODFW’s Restoration and Enhancement program. The Commission will also be briefed on an amendment to the Klamath River Basin Fish Management Plan which would reintroduce salmon to the Upper Klamath Lake and tributaries.
DEQ
Out of the eleven penalties issued by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) during the month of April, four were from the Oregon Coast. According to a news release, a septic service in Clatsop County was fined $3,803 for allegedly violating a septage management plan between December 2005 and July 2007. It has been appealed. C & L Coatings Inc. was fined $7,200 for allegedly performing asbestos removal in Coos Bay without a license last December, and the Cline Family Trust of Coos Bay was also fined $6,000 for allegedly allowing an unlicensed contractor to perform the asbestos removal on North Bayshore Drive in Coos Bay. A Nehalem resident paid a fine of $3,000 in Tillamook County for the burning of prohibited materials, i.e. abandoned mobile home containing tires, carpeting, wire insulation, vinyl chairs and other material. Fines for the month totaled $73,560.
Oyster
The U.S. Coast Guard responded to the sinking of an oyster-harvesting vessel in Grays Harbor, WA Tuesday. The 50-foot oyster dredge “Bay Point” sank at the Coast Seafood’s dock near the mouth of the Johns River during the morning hours. It was carrying 350-gallons of diesel fuel and hydraulic oil when it went down.
Clams
They donned their rubber boots, grabbed their shovels and headed to the mudflats. That’s been the routine this week during the early morning hours as many clam diggers have taken advantage of a week-long series of minus tides to hunt clams. Robert Beers of Coquille was out in Charleston Wednesday morning. He says he’s been doing this for most of his 65-years. His technique? Well, find some seaweed, brush it aside and look for a large hole you can stick your finger in. If you feel the neck of the clam, you’re on! In Oregon the daily limit is 12 clams. Tuesday and Wednesday were back-to-back minus two-foot tides along the South Coast.
Diamond Lake
Another sign that Diamond Lake in eastern Douglas County is returning to its old way of being a popular trout fishing location. The speed limit on the clear water lake has been reduced to 10 mph. Back in 1999 the limit was increased to 45 mph with less trout in the lake. A non-native tui chub fish was illegally introduced to the lake and proliferated to the point that they squeezed out the trout. The point Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife finally poisoned the entire lake and started over.

Risk of Autism, Resveratrol, Chelation, and CoQ10
By Walt "dr health" Edwards
Autism... The Mitochondria is the powerhouse that fuel your body's cells. It has been implicated in at least one case of regressive autism. Some researchers estimate that the number of people suffering from the mitochondrial dysfunction, which may lead to autism, is much more common than the current estimate of 1 in 4,000 people. In fact, it could be as low as 1 in 50, which would be staggering.
In the recent landmark Hannah Poling case, federal officials conceded that Hannah's autism was caused by an underlying mitochondrial dysfunction that was aggravated by vaccine injections. At the time, CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding claimed that Hannah's case was a rare incident with little relevance to the other autism cases pending in the federal "vaccine court."
Since then, however, Dr. Gerberding and other CDC officials were made aware of a Portuguese study reporting that 7.2 percent of children with autism had confirmed mitochondrial disorders. Some now estimate the rate of mitochondrial dysfunction in autism to be 20 percent or more, and the rate among children with the regressive sub-type of autism is likely even higher.
If mitochondrial dysfunction can convert into autism in large numbers, then the connection between vaccines and autism could be quite strong. Some experts believe a trigger, such as vaccines, a viral illness or even inflammatory corn oil and corn syrup in the American diet, is triggering underlying mitochondrial dysfunctions into autism.
The CDC is reportedly looking into making changes in the vaccine schedule to address this newfound connection. The most difficult decision is how and when to vaccinate children with proven mitochondrial dysfunction.
What About Resveratrol?
Scientists found evidence of this "longevity gene" about 20 years ago. Turns out that if you starve mice, giving them a diet with one-third fewer calories than they would like to eat, their lifespan increases by about 30 percent. Later studies revealed that this effect wasn't limited to mice: Calorie-restricted diets produced similar results in many life forms, from single-celled organisms to plants and mammals.
Very recently, scientists found an explanation for this mysterious phenomenon: a family of genes called sirtuins ("silent information regulator proteins"). Sirtuins kick in under conditions of severe stress, bringing about an evolutionarily advantageous transformation. They transmit signals to every cell in your body, and the processes that lead to cell death slow to a crawl, buying your body more time to wait out the famine until things improve.
The discovery of sirtuins pointed to another amazing fact: Certain genes can be awakened and
called upon to change your body in the course of your lifetime. The problem of how
to "wake up" sleeping sirtuin genes had scientists stumped for years. They had to find some
other way to flip the aging "off switch."
That's where certain foods come in… because the natural compound resveratrol has been found to unleash the anti-aging power of sirtuins. Grapes, plums, blueberries, and cranberries contain resveratrol in the highest concentrations. Many other plants produce smaller amounts.
Resveratrol's power to enhance your life goes beyond anti-aging. Years of research have shown that it combats cancer, ramps up energy levels, limits the inflammation that causes arthritis, and benefits a number of major organs, including the heart, liver, and pancreas. It also has the remarkable capacity to halt cell "malfunctions" that can be lethal, like tumor generation.
Concerned About The Use of NSAIDS!
Consider taking Omega 3 fish oil. One source is cod liver oil once or twice a day. According to Dundee University researchers, Omega 3 and/or cod liver oil are known to reduce the need for painkillers in people with rheumatoid arthritis,. A 10g daily dose of cod liver oil reduced the need for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by 30 percent.
Patients in the study were given either cod liver oil or a placebo. After 12 weeks, they were asked to gradually reduce their use of NSAIDs. Among those taking cod liver oil, 39 percent reduced their daily dose of NSAIDs, compared with 10 percent taking a placebo. The reduction in drug use was not associated with any worsening of pain or of the disease.
It is thought that the fatty acids in the fish oil have anti-inflammatory properties that are responsible for the beneficial effect. NSAIDs are associated with many side effects, including stomach bleeding, heart attacks and strokes. The researchers believe the study offers hope for many rheumatoid arthritis patients who would like to reduce their NSAID use.
What About Chelation?
An Alternative To Bypass Surgery! Initially, physicians believed that the primary benefit of chelation therapy with EDTA was to remove lead from the body. They discovered that it lowers blood calcium, which contributes to plaque build-up in our arteries. According to Dr. Garry Gordon, M.D.,D.O., a pioneer in Oral Chelation, EDTA doesn't just float through the blood stream but works its way through the tissues, the capillary bed and through the tissue fluids, extracting toxic metals from the body's 60 trillion cells. As calcium is pulled from the plaque, its 'cementing' action is lost and the cholesterol and other substances are free to again join the blood stream to be eliminated later from the body.
What Are The Differences Of Ubiquinone And Ubiquinol (CoQ10).
Ubiquinone is the fully oxidized form – the form generally sold commercially. Once ingested and absorbed in the body – more than 90% of the ingested Ubiquinone is converted into its "active" antioxidant form called Ubiquinol.
More than 90% of the circulating CoQ10 in our body is present as Ubiquinol. The body has reductase enzymes which take the ingested CoQ10 in food and supplements and convert most of it into Ubiquinol. This process is reduced as you age and that is one reason for the added supplementation.
Research, (in animals and humans), has shown Ubiquinol to be absorbed better than Ubiquinone. Therefore, Ubiquinol might afford an advantage over ubiquinone in individuals who do not absorb regular CoQ10 from supplements too well. However, there are no studies to show the superiority of unsolubilized ubiquinol over Q-Gel® CoQ10, HydroQSorb® CoQ10, (as ChewQ® or H2Q CoQ10) or Liquid Q®..
More About CoQ10... It is required to convert fats and sugars into cellular energy, yet the natural production of CoQ10 declines with advancing age. When the body has an ample amount of CoQ10 the mitochondria can work most efficiently throughout the entire body, in cells everywhere, including the most densely populated area, the heart. Coenzyme Q10 is incorporated into the mitochondria of cells throughout the body where it facilitates and regulates the transformation of fats and sugars into energy. A large body of scientific evidence shows that CoQ10's ability to restore mitochondrial function has a profound effect on one's overall health and reducing the aging process.
Thought For The Day: All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident!
Have a great day!
