^NNSYLVANIA He JULY—1979 Keystone State's I Official FISHING BOATING 2L Ngler Magazine ^NNSYLVANIA He JULY—1979 Keystone State's I Official FISHING BOATING 2L ngler Magazine... ^ 40c Single Copy "Proud of the record ..." \Jn May 28, 1931, Governor Gifford Pinchot signed into law Act 121, placing the responsibility for "the licensing of motors and the regulation of boats" with what was then known as the Board of Fish Commissioners. Motors were licensed at a fee of $1.00 per year per cylinder. The first boating regulations appeared in 1932, requiring only that motorboats "should be equipped with fire extinguishers and life preservers, sufficient in number to take care of the capacity of the boat." The only operational requirement stated: "It is suggested that in passing there should be 100 feet between the two craft." Not very complicated, but in those days of the Great Depression there weren't many people who could afford a boat. The boom did not begin until after World War II and the Korean Conflict had ceased to distract our country's resources and energies, so it was not until the mid-50's that we began to find the time and money for recreation. Fishing and boating were naturals for growth. The old Act of May 1931 underwent major revision in 1963 with the enactment of Act 400, known today simply as "The Boat Law." Some unique features of Act 400 should be discussed here. The Act created an Advisory Board for boating within the Pennsylvania Fish Commission. This Board consists of five members appointed on staggered terms by the Governor (without the necessity of Senate confirmation). The law further mandates that the Fish Commission shall solicit the advice and opinions of the Board on all proposed regulations affecting the equipping and operation of boats. Coincident to Act 400, the Administrative Code was amended adding a ninth member to the Fish Commission to be appointed at-large by the Governor, with the stipulation that this Commissioner "shall be an experienced boatman." The Boating Advisory Board meets at least twice a year to consider proposed amendments to the boating regulations, and to be briefed and brought up to date on boating activities by the staff of the Commission. This is a two-way street, as the Board also provides input to the staff based on their own areas of expertise. Potential access sites and their development are discussed. The proposed regulations are then considered for adoption by the entire Commis­ sion. It is usual for the Commissioner-at-large for boating to steer the proposed regulations through the Commission proceedings. It is also a practice for the Chairman of the Boating Advisory Board to be on hand at Commission meetings to provide further background and advice. Does the system work? Let's look at the record. On only two occasions, and these were very minor, has the Commission declined to accept the advice of its Advisory Board. We think that's a good track record — considering the continuing and dramatic involvement of recreational boating. When you consider that about one-third of our Waterways Patrolmen's time is spent in boat law enforcement and education work, this is a very significant activity on the part of the Fish Commission. This spring, two of our Waterways Patrolmen were instrumental in saving the lives of three boating fishermen. Last fall, one of our Patrolmen saved the life of a five-year-old girl, using CPR and other training provided by the Fish Commission and the American Red Cross. In April of this year, the National Water Safety Congress recognized the Pennsylvania Fish Commission for its outstanding boating education program. It is logical that the Pennsylvania Fish Commission, already patrolling the waters of the Commonwealth, should have jurisdiction over boating; and we are proud of the record the Commission has been able to accomplish with the signal help provided by its Boating Advisory £o Board.

  • The International Flying Dutchman Class Book
    THE INTERNATIONAL FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK www.sailfd.org 1 2 Preface and acknowledgements for the “FLYING DUTCHMAN CLASS BOOK” by Alberto Barenghi, IFDCO President The Class Book is a basic and elegant instrument to show and testify the FD history, the Class life and all the people who have contributed to the development and the promotion of the “ultimate sailing dinghy”. Its contents show the development, charm and beauty of FD sailing; with a review of events, trophies, results and the role past champions . Included are the IFDCO Foundation Rules and its byelaws which describe how the structure of the Class operate . Moreover, 2002 was the 50th Anniversary of the FD birth: 50 years of technical deve- lopment, success and fame all over the world and of Class life is a particular event. This new edition of the Class Book is a good chance to celebrate the jubilee, to represent the FD evolution and the future prospects in the third millennium. The Class Book intends to charm and induce us to know and to be involved in the Class life. Please, let me assent to remember and to express my admiration for Conrad Gulcher: if we sail, love FD and enjoyed for more than 50 years, it is because Conrad conceived such a wonderful dinghy and realized his dream, launching FD in 1952. Conrad, looked to the future with an excellent far-sightedness, conceived a “high-perfor- mance dinghy”, which still represents a model of technologic development, fashionable 3 water-line, low minimum hull weight and performance . Conrad ‘s approach to a continuing development of FD, with regard to materials, fitting and rigging evolution, was basic for the FD success.

List of presents and e- mail addresses: see-attached sheets. Agenda: see appended sheet 1 Opening, President’s Communication The President welcomes the presents and the List of Presents is circulated: all present sign and check the e-mail addresses. Spain sent an email apologizing for not being present. Elections The President reminds that the 2012 Winter Meeting will involve elections for the renewal of many functions, and invite the CIV members to consider and propose new administrators. Also the President will have to be elected. Gianpiero Saggini announces his wish of not to being re-elected. Addresses The Communication with the associations is difficult for lack of updated e-mails. Each ASV must notify to the President Office's e-mail addresses of at least 2 persons (normally the President and Secretary), trogether with telephone and fax(optional) numbers, so that periodical checks for updated addresses can be done. 2 Minutes of Lembruch summer meeting The minutes are approved unanimously. 3 Finance – Treasurer's Accounts - Promotion The Treasurer reads the report on the financial year 2010.

VAN GRUNSVEN (1) / [1] Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), Jette, Belgium, Department of Basic Biomedical Sciences, Liver Cell Biology Laboratory, [2] University Hospital Magdeburg, , Germany, Department of Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Infectious Diseases Introduction: Diagnosis of liver fibrosis onset and regression remains a controversial subject in the current clinical setting, as the gold standard remains the invasive liver biopsy. Multiple novel non-invasive markers have been proposed but lack sufficient sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of early stage liver fibrosis. Platelet Derived Growth Factor Receptor beta (PDGFRβ) has been associated to hepatic stellate cell activation and has been the target of multiple therapeutic studies. However, little is known concerning its use as a diagnostic agent. Aim: In this study, we analysed the diagnostic potential of PDGFRβ for liver fibrosis in a heterogenous patient population. Methods: The study cohort consisted of 148 patients with liver fibrosis/cirrhosis due to various causes of liver injury (metabolic, alcoholic, viral), and 14 healthy individuals as control population. A validation cohort of 57 patients with metabolic liver disease, who underwent liver biopsy to stage fibrosis, were gathered. Circulating soluble PDGFRβ (sPDGFRβ) levels were determined using a commercial ELISA kit.
