PEDRO VERGER FULLANA.-Por parte de este Govern, que es el que toma las decisiones en materia de Pesca en Aguas Interiores ya que es su competencia y no la del Ministerio, se produce una discriminación y agravio comparativo -el que se comete al dar un trato distinto a personas en la misma situación- hacia un sector en concreto, el de las actividades subacuáticas en todas sus modalidades, bien por desconocimiento de la Ley o bien intencionadamente, para hacer todavía más daño del que ya le han hecho.

AT THE site of their last clean sheet more than 593 days and 36 A-League matches ago, the Mariners have kept Perth Glory scoreless to record a 2-0 win at Central Coast Stadium last night.

The Central Coast Mariners have come crashing back down to earth after a 10-man Western Sydney outfit registered a 4-1 win over the yellow and navy in Gosford on Saturday.

IT WAS a case of déjà vu for the Central Coast across the ditch on Saturday, as Wellington ran riot against a young Mariners side to register a 3-0 win in Waikato.

CENTRAL Coast Mariners are turning their attention to the womens game, with the club aiming to establish a W-League side to compete as early as next season.

The USS Thomas A. Edison was an Ethan Allen-class ballistic missile submarine in the service of the United States Navy from 1961 until 1983. Although submarines, especially boomers, are supposed to prize silence, the Edison was built with a fully functional piano that remained in use throughout the boat's service.

The Naval Submarine League reports that Steinway and Sons made the custom upright piano for the Navy, which installed the huge instrument during the submarine's construction. Crew members who knew how to play it did so and the piano was often the centerpiece of musical performances conducted by the crew.

The piano was removed when the Edison was scrapped. Veterans of the boat rescued the piano from destruction and arranged for its restoration. It's now in the Steinway and Sons Museum in New York.

Communication between individuals via molecules, termed chemosignaling, is widespread among animal and plant species. However, we lack knowledge on the specific functions of the substances involved for most systems. The femoral gland is an organ that secretes a waxy substance involved in chemical communication in lizards. Although the lipids and volatile substances secreted by the femoral glands have been investigated in several biochemical studies, the protein composition and functions of secretions remain completely unknown. Applying a proteomic approach, we provide the first attempt to comprehensively characterize the protein composition of femoral gland secretions from the Galápagos marine iguana. Using samples from several organs, the marine iguana proteome was assembled by next-generation sequencing and MS, resulting in 7513 proteins. Of these, 4305 proteins were present in the femoral gland, including keratins, small serum proteins, and fatty acid-binding proteins. Surprisingly, no proteins with discernible roles in partner recognition or inter-species communication could be identified. However, we did find several proteins with direct associations to the innate immune system, including lysozyme C, antileukoproteinase (ALP), pulmonary surfactant protein (SFTPD), and galectin (LGALS1) suggesting that the femoral glands function as an important barrier to infection. Furthermore, we report several novel anti-microbial peptides from the femoral glands that show similar action against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis such as oncocin, a peptide known for its effectiveness against Gram-negative pathogens. This proteomics data set is a valuable resource for future functional protein analysis and demonstrates that femoral gland secretions also perform functions of the innate immune system.
