Do not click on links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear DMF, It has been brought to my attention, as a citizen concerned about the mass extinction of species we are now witnessing at ever accelerating speed, that our planet’s wonderful right whales are facing major challenges and assaults that diminish their numbers, decrease their reproductive rate, and endanger their survival. Of particular concern are fishing practices that result in wright whale deaths. Currently, there is a public push to encourage DMF to consider ropeless gear as a way to help save wright whales from extinction. Ropeless gear has a very high success rate at significantly reducing entanglement, injury and death for our right whale population. This is a concern of serious magnitude. It is hoped that DMF will recognize that human impact upon right whales and other precious marine life threatens their very survival. A world without whales would be an unimaginable tragedy. Please move decisively to protect them and insure their survival! Sincerely, Lloyd T. Williams 119 Jackson Lane Barre, MA 01005 From: [email protected] on behalf of Eric Fournier To: Fish, Marine (FWE) Subject: New Protected Species Regulations Affecting Trap and Gillnet Fishing Date: Sunday, December 13, 2020 9:57:16 AM CAUTION: This email originated from a sender outside of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts mail system.

Dear Director McKiernan: As a concerned Massachusetts resident, I fear the North Atlantic right whale may go extinct in my lifetime. North Atlantic right whales are dying due to human actions. The DoMF, alongside NOAA, has the opportunity to make the necessary changes to save this species. I am glad to see our commonwealth is taking necessary steps to ensure the protection and survival of right whales by proposing new regulations for commercial fixed gear fisheries and recreational lobster and crab trap fisheries. Some of the changes I support include: - Expanded closures for trap fisheries in all of Massachusetts waters. - A new closed season for the buoyed recreational lobster and crab trap fishery. - The DoMF retaining the ability to extend these closures based on North Atlantic right whale sightings. - A marking system that will differentiate the gear that may be lawfully used in Massachusetts from heavier gear that may be used in the offshore exclusive economic zone or Canada. I strongly encourage the DoMF to develop a plan for a full transition to ropeless technology in commercial trap fisheries as quickly and responsibly as possible. Removing vertical lines from the water is the only way to fully prevent entanglements and save this species. Thank you for the opportunity to comment on enhanced protections for the North Atlantic right whale. It is my hope that my suggestions will be considered in this process and that the DoMF continues to prioritize right whale protections.

Do not click on links or open attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is safe. Dear Director Daniel McKiernan, Massachusetts can be a leader in the fight to save the North Atlantic right whale. With less than 400 individuals remaining, the North Atlantic right whale is one of the most critically endangered marine animals in the world. Entanglement in fishing gear and collisions with ships are pushing the species towards extinction. We must take strong action today before it’s too late to save them. North Atlantic right whales migrating through the waters of the East Coast must navigate a maze of deadly vertical rope. Ropeless fishing gear can be the solution that we need to save right whales and keep fishermen on the water. A viable pathway for permitting ropeless fishing gear should be included in the new proposed regulations in order to fully address the issue of entanglement. Removing vertical buoy rope from the water and providing a permitting structure for fishermen to legally utilize 21st century technology is the only long-term solution to reduce the entanglement risk to right whales while ensuring a sustainable future for Massachusetts fishing communities. cc: Director Daniel McKiernan 251 Causeway Street, Suite 400 Boston, MA 02114 From: Stephen Mahoney To: Fish, Marine (FWE) Cc: Fish, Marine (FWE) Subject: Please help protect critically endangered right whales in Massachusetts waters Date: Monday, December 14, 2020 5:16:04 AM CAUTION: This email originated from a sender outside of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts mail system.

The Fairy Tale of Father Brown ONE The Absence of Mr Glass THE consulting-rooms of Dr Orion Hood, the eminent criminologist and specialist in certain moral disorders, lay along the sea-front at Scarborough, in a series of very large and well-lighted french windows, which showed the North Sea like one endless outer wall of blue-green marble. In such a place the sea had something of the monotony of a blue-green dado: for the chambers themselves were ruled throughout by a terrible tidiness not unlike the terrible tidiness of the sea. It must not be supposed that Dr Hood's apartments excluded luxury, or even poetry. These things were there, in their place; but one felt that they were never allowed out of their place. Luxury was there: there stood upon a special table eight or ten boxes of the best cigars; but they were built upon a plan so that the strongest were always nearest the wall and the mildest nearest the window. A tantalum containing three kinds of spirit, all of a liqueur excellence, stood always on this table of luxury; but the fanciful have asserted that the whisky, brandy, and rum seemed always to stand at the same level.

  • Disclosure, Endorsement, and Identity in Social Marketing
    MCGEVERAN.DOC 7/24/2009 12:01 PM DISCLOSURE, ENDORSEMENT, AND IDENTITY IN SOCIAL MARKETING William McGeveran* Social marketing is among the newest advertising trends now emerging on the internet. Using online social networks such as Face- book or MySpace, marketers could send personalized promotional messages featuring an ordinary customer to that customer’s friends. Because they reveal a customer’s browsing and buying patterns, and because they feature implied endorsements, the messages raise signifi- cant concerns about disclosure of personal matters, information qual- ity, and individuals’ ability to control the commercial exploitation of their identity. Yet social marketing falls through the cracks between several different legal paradigms that might allow its regulation— spanning from privacy to trademark and unfair competition to con- sumer protection to the appropriation tort and rights of publicity. This Article examines potential concerns with social marketing and the various legal responses available. It demonstrates that none of the existing legal paradigms, which all evolved in response to particular problems, addresses the unique new challenges posed by social mar- keting. Even though policymakers ultimately may choose not to re- gulate social marketing at all, that decision cannot be made intelli- gently without first contemplating possible problems and solutions. The Article concludes by suggesting a legal response that draws from existing law and requires only small changes. In doing so, it provides an example for adapting existing law to new technology, and it argues that law should play a more active role in establishing best practices for emerging online trends. * Associate Professor, University of Minnesota Law School.

  • The Quantitative Impact of Conflict on Education
    2695 TECHNICAL PAPER NO. 7 Armed conflict can have a lasting impact on education over many generations. The violence has devastating effects on the educational path of youth and can create a legacy of lost years of schooling which are never recovered. This technical paper sheds light on the measured effects of conflict on education by analysing the educational attainment and literacy rates of target populations. Long-term impacts of armed conflict include smaller shares of the population with formal schooling, fewer average years of education, and decreased literacy rates. In addition, conflict exacerbates existing inequalities in school participation, negatively affecting girls, poor households and ethnic minorities. The report focuses on the population of school-going age during conflict periods in 25 selected countries. Household survey data collected between 2000 and 2008 are presented, providing information for national and sub-national levels. First highlighted in the 2011 Education for All Global Monitoring Report, this paper provides the complete analysis which shows how conflict impedes the realization of important education goals, such as universal primary education and gender equality. The findings can help to better target efforts to rebuild societies affected by these strifes. THE QUANTITATIVE IMPACT OF CONFLICT ON EDUCATION 2695 UNESCO Institute for Statistics P.O.
