Jan. 03--Work has just begun on the Boise Whitewater Park's second phase, and already there's talk of a third one.
There are no firm plans, nor has the city entered official talks with the various organizations that would need to be on board. But the implications are beyond anything the Whitewater Park's first or second phases can offer.
Phase 1, completed in 2012, has a single dam-like structure that creates a variety of wave shapes. Phase 2, a half-mile long, will have three wave-shaping features.
The third phase would add a wave shaper to the dam at the Settler's Irrigation District diversion just upstream of Americana Boulevard -- the dam that Boise River summer floaters are warned to avoid just past the last take-out point at the Ann Morrison Park footbridge.
Installing a wave shaper there like the ones in the first and second phases would benefit wave junkies like kayakers and surfers, but it also could give floaters a safe route past the dam. You might float the river all the way from Barber Park east of Boise, the official launch point, to at least Veterans Memorial Park.
But Phase 2 comes first.
Crews are stabilizing banks as they begin the phase at the park, officially named J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation Boise Whitewater Park. After last spring's heavy flooding, some banks needed repair, said Doug Holloway, director of the city's Parks and Recreation Department.
Last week, workers finished repairs to banks that will be underwater once the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers increases flows from Lucky Peak Dam, Holloway said.
Crews for McMillen Jacobs Associates, the contractor for the second phase, now are working high enough on the banks to stay out of the water when it rises, Holloway said. The Corps did not immediately respond to a request for information about the anticipated levels and timing of 2018's flow increases.
This week, the contractor's crews will trim trees along the Greenbelt between Main Street and Quinn's Pond. They'll rebuild about 125 feet of Greenbelt and lay concrete over the bank to reinforce it.
The area was a stress point during the floods. Some officials worried the river would breach its bank and flow into Quinn's Pond, possibly flooding nearby apartments and other buildings. No breach occurred. Heavy sandbagging helped keep the river in its channels.
Installation of the whitewater park's new wave-making features is scheduled to start in late August or early September, with the goal of completion by July 2019.
The whitewater park has been popular since the completion of its first phase in 2012.
The project was the first in a series of improvements to the area's recreation corridor. Newer amenities include a beach on the north side of Quinn's Pond and Esther Simplot Park.
Phase 2's three wave shapers will start just north, or downstream, of the pedestrian bridge that connects the Garden City side of the river to the Boise side north of Quinn's Pond.
The bank on the Boise side between that bridge and what is now a Farmers Union Ditch Co. irrigation diversion will have rock terraces where people can sit and watch the river.
McMillen Jacobs will dig a small, wadeable channel between the Boise bank and existing cottonwood trees, forming two small islands to preserve the cottonwoods and other wildlife habitat. Holloway said the channels also will improve flood control by giving the river another place to flow.
Workers will install a wave shaper, similar to the one built five years ago, where the Farmer's Union diversion is located. The city will replace the diversion, too.
A strategically shaped rock that stretches across the river will be located a couple of hundred yards downstream of the wave shaper. A similar rock feature will be placed a couple of hundred yards below that.
These features will produce waves, too, though they won't move as the wave shapers do. Both will produce waves whose intensity and shapes depend on the level of the river, much like waves at Kelly's Whitewater Park in Cascade.
"When Phase 2 is complete, we will have an aquatic complex like no other in the country," Holloway said in an email. "When you combine more than 65 acres of connected ponds [in Esther Simplot Park and Quinn's Pond] adjacent to a mile-long park in and along the river, you create an amazing recreation amenity, free and accessible to all."
Holloway praised the cooperation of Farmer's Union, which has rights to water in the river, and the Waterfront District Homeowners Association, which owns land on the Garden City side of the project and is granting easements for the in-river features.
The J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation is covering almost $4 million of the project's $10 million cost. The city will cover the rest, Holloway said.
Boise still must secure permits from the Army Corps of Engineers and its own Parks and Recreation Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission. Holloway said he doesn't expect any problems.

Could milk prices double? Local ag expert, dairy farmer weigh in on 'dairy cliff'
MARSHALL CO. — Rumors of a $6-8 gallon of milk if a new farm bill isn't passed this year are probably unfounded, said Purdue Extension Educator Bob Yoder.
"If we do not have a new farm bill, or the present bill isn't extended…(prices) would revert back to the 1949 initial program — prices established to guarantee profitability in the dairy industry," said Yoder.
He continued, "If you use the same formula they used back in 1949, it would be like doubling the price of milk. There's speculation that milk prices in the grocery store could climb up to $6 a gallon if that would be implemented. There's a lot of questions surrounding that as to whether that would actually happen. To say that milk could be $6 a gallon is a little bit speculation at this point."
Yoder said that all the attention given to this year's fiscal cliff crisis is causing unneeded drama for the farm bill. Concerns are raised about rising grocery prices each year Congress must update or pass a new farm bill, he said — which happens every five years.
"It seems like every five years this happens," said Yoder. "What is unique this year is that the entire budget is also up in the air."
Plymouth dairy farmer Floyd Houin said that $6 milk "is a possibility, but not likely to happen."
"I think the likelihood of the (1949) farm bill being triggered and us actually being paid that higher price (for milk) is not very likely," said Houin. "We are paying more for feed, and eventually that is what is going to make milk (prices) go up, more so than the farm bill."
Yoder noted that the summer's drought has caused the livestock sector to struggle because of higher cost of feed.
"Milk prices will go up naturally because feed prices are going up," said Yoder. "It costs a lot more to produce a gallon of milk than it did before the drought."
"The drought is affecting the cost of producing milk," said Houin. "Hay, corn, and soybean meal are higher than a year ago, and the stuff I have to buy is costing me more."
Houin said he believes the spike in feed cost will last until the next normal crop.
"By next fall, hopefully our costs will go down," said Houin.
Yoder said an extreme bump in milk price as a result of the farm bill is "a what if scenario."
"I don't think it will play out even if it happens," said Yoder. "The real scenario now is that the price of feed went up (because of the drought). It's getting better. We went through a really stressful period and we are not out of the woods yet."
Yoder added that he knows farmers who have left the dairy industry this year because of the lack of profitability.

Bookstands and Shtenders
Judaism is known for having numerous esoteric items that are used in various rituals. One of these items that is actually quite useful and is not limited to a religious ceremony is the book stand, also known in Yiddish as a "Shtender".
Bookstands and Shtenders take a few different forms, including a simple book rest that is placed on a desk and a full-size lectern that may be covered with a heavily decorated felt cover. Looking for a Bar Mitzvah or Hanukkah gift? Consider a gift an olive wood bookstand that is painted with scenes of Jerusalem and the name of the young man entering adulthood. If you would like to give a more ornate stand, consider a stand made from Mahogany, Pine or Oak that is overlaid with strips of 925 sterling silver and engraved with names or verses relating to the study of Torah.
World of Judaica also has an extensive collection of full-size Shtenders. These podiums may be made completely from wood or be made from metal with a wooden book rest. These bookstands are perfect gifts for a wedding or housewarming gift as they will be used consistently and will have a prominent place in the new home.
If you would like to decorate a Shtender or bookstand, consider a velvet cover that is decorated with names, floral patterns or other traditional Judaica themes that are embroidered into the cloth such as Jerusalem or scenes from the bible. These decorations are a great idea if you wish to memorialize a loved one or special occasion.
We at World of Judaica invites you to browse our collection of bookstand, Shtenders and bookstand covers. If you have any concerns, contact us via email, phone or live chat and we will be more than happy to address your concerns.
Prayer Books & Covers Guide
In Judaism, the synagogue plays a prominent role, with many items being used during the course of services. One of the essential items used during prayer service in addition to the Tallit and Tefillin is the prayer book.
What are Prayer Books and Covers?
The prayer book, also known as Siddur in Hebrew, contains all of the prayer said during weekday prayer services, Shabbat and important Jewish holidays such as Passover and Sukkot. However, there are also other books that also fit under this category, such as the Book of Psalms composed by King David and books that are used for specific holidays, such as the Machzor that contains prayers said in Synagogue during Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur as well as those used during Passover Seder and the Rosh HaShana meal.
Prayer Book covers care usually made of sterling silver or cloth and fit atop hardcover prayer covers and serve as a practical protection for the bidning and book itself in addition to being a decorative item that shows honor to G-d.
Prayer books covers are often decorated with traditional depictions of Jerusalem and often have Hebrew text in the center, usually with the word "Siddur" or "Tehillim", which are the Hebrew words for "Prayer Book" and "Book of Psalms".
Other common decorations on Siddur and Machzor prayer books include floral patterns, crowns, the Luchot or Tablets supported by lions with engravings of the Ten Commandments or Hebrew letters, crowns and the seven species. Many prayer books are also decorate with verses from the Torah and Rabbinical literature, such as "Know before whom you stand" or "G-d is always present".
Other types of prayer books, such as those used during the Rosh HaShana meal are decorated with items used on Rosh HaShana such as a Shofar or a pomegranate with severeal seeds. These prayers usually have the Hebrew text "Seder Rosh HaShana" - "Rosh HaShana Order" in English - that refers to the different foods eaten at the beginning of the meal.
Prayer books and their covers are often personalized with names that are engraved into sterling silver or painted gold on the front. These items may also be personalized with important dates, such as a Bar Mitzvah or wedding anniversary.
For More Information
For more information on Prayer Books & Covers or other Synagogue items, feel free to contact our Judaica experts with any questions or concerns.

In the weeks before the Oak Bluffs (Mass.) Monster Shark Tournament kicks off each summer, the home of tournament organizer Steven James becomes crowded with T-shirts, other clothing, and promotional items emblazoned with the crest of the Boston Big Game Fishing Club and a rendering of a shark. The imagery illustrates a promise: For two days, the fishermen can brave the seas off Martha's Vineyard (where the movie "Jaws" was filmed) and chase sharks.
It's a notion that appeals to hundreds of recreational fishermen – who spend heavily on entry fees, gear, and boat fuel for a chance to catch the biggest shark in weekend contests – and crowds of spectators, who gather dockside to watch boats returning with champion fish.
But the events have also compelled animal-rights activists, led by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), to campaign against shark tournaments. The groups say that the tournaments are cruel and are an additional threat in an era of worldwide shark population decline. "These events convey to the public the message that the value of these sharks is in their death," says John Grandy, a senior vice president of HSUS.
The campaign angers tournament organizers, who say that the criticism exaggerates the impact of the events on world shark populations. The debate has also emphasized that some of what scientists understand about sharks comes from sampling those caught in tournaments.
Since 2005, HSUS and local organizations have protested at large events such as the Ocean City (Maryland) Shark Tournament and the Star Island Yacht Club Shark Tournament in Montauk, N.Y. Their tactics have been both subtle and dramatic: They've asked tournament sponsors to end support of the events, and, last fall, HSUS reported allegations of illegal gambling at the Oak Bluffs contest to the Massachusetts attorney general's office.
Fishpond USA, a fishing equipment manufacturer, joined HSUS in speaking out against the events. But HSUS did not attend the Oak Bluffs or Ocean City events this year. Dr. Grandy says that after years of campaigning, the group is leaving it up to the public to end the tournaments.
Other organizations continue to campaign against the tournaments, though. Beth Gallie of the Maine Animal Coalition, which has protested the Downeast Maine Shark Tournament in Saco, says: "We just don't think it's an enlightened event."
Shark tournament organizers – mostly charter-boat captains and hobby fishermen – beg to differ. They consider themselves experts on the animals they've spent so much time pursuing. Mr. James serves on a federal advisory panel dedicated to management of sharks in US waters. He says he donates funds annually for the purchase of tags, used by government scientists to attach to sharks so their migration habits can be monitored.
"Animal rights groups want to make it look like we're destroying the world's oceans, [but] we're the ones who have been the champions of conservation and are concerned about the fishery long-term," he adds.
While acknowledging that sharks suffer enormous conservation challenges, fishermen note that the bulk of the pressure brought to bear on many of the approximately 400 known species comes from foreign commercial fleets. Last year, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas released a stock assessment of several sharks that live in the open ocean. It estimated the differing catch amounts of fishing nations and reported that the US landed 215 tons of shortfin mako in 2007, while Spain and Portugal combined landed more 3,000 tons.
"The US recreational and commercial fleets take between 4 and 5 percent of the total number of makos taken worldwide," says James, who notes that the impact of his tournament on world mortality rates – 14 sharks were retained at the Oak Bluff tournament in July – is negligible.
But opponents say that many more sharks die after release because of injuries from hooks and gaffs used during capture.
Since the 1960s, scientists have learned quite a bit by studying the sharks caught at tournaments. They have assessed a number of species for size, sex, age, reproduction, and food consumption data. These opportunities provide scientists with data that would otherwise require expensive research cruises or studies to acquire.
"The list of information as yet unknown on sharks is too long to reproduce," says Lisa Natanson, a federal biologist who has sampled animals at the Oak Bluffs event. "By opportunistically obtaining samples from shark tournaments, commercial and recreational fishermen, and strandings, scientists are able to [try to obtain] an accurate description of a species."
While acknowledging the scientific benefits that can accrue from tournaments, Dr. Robert Hueter of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Florida nevertheless believes that the pressures on sharks are too great for tournaments to continue. "I'm not saying that we aren't gaining useful data from this sort of sampling," he says. "But scientists have been taking these sorts of samples at tournaments for nearly 50 years. It's questionable that the research benefits gained at this point justify the cost to shark conservation."
The opposite view is expressed by Dr. George Benz of Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro: "As a scientist, I can say that shark sport-fishing tournaments continue to facilitate a good bit of robust science, and we can't learn everything we need to learn about sharks by studying live animals."
Catch and release tournaments have been suggested as alternatives to kill events, despite the contention that the animals often die after they're released.
The Are You Man Enough? Shark Challenge in Fort Myers Beach, Fla., revised its rules so that competitors weren't required to bring a shark to the dock; they could release it at sea. Tournament director Jack Donlon says that he plans to expand the format next year.
He hopes that this change, plus educating spectators and participants about sharks, will ease the controversy surrounding shark tournaments.
But protestors have vowed that as long as sharks are still being killed, they will continue to apply pressure to end these events.

Maybe the score should reflect the control system.
Yes after two days it's becoming more playable.But I thought Nintendo's strategy was to make games more accessible, easier to play, hence the wii remote and the stylus.
If you ask me, if you design a game in such a way that the control scheme needs a stand to not give you carpal tunnel syndrome, there is something FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG WITH YOUR GAME.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - On Saturday, Harvard retook took the Biglin Bowl in a sweep of Dartmouth and MIT on a blustery Charles River.
In the varsity eight event, Harvard established a strong boat length lead in the first 1000 meters while MIT was three seats down to Dartmouth. As the crews passed the 1200-meter mark, MIT pulled even with Dartmouth and through the remainder of the race, the crews battled to establish a lead. Both MIT and Dartmouth raised their cadence in the final 500 meters with Dartmouth edging out MIT by a nose completing the course just .6 seconds ahead of the Engineers.
Tech's freshmen raced hard and made improvements in a few areas over their race from last weekend, most notably a more consistent base cadence. The Harvard freshmen took the race into their hands early and maintained a solid lead over Dartmouth and MIT.
In the final race of the day, the MIT 2V four finished strongly to come in second place behind the Harvard 3V four and ahead of the Dartmouth 3V. At the 1000 meter mark, Harvard had established a three-second lead over MIT who was a boat length ahead of Dartmouth. In the second half of the race, Harvard extended its lead over MIT who was in control of second place.
Next up for the MIT Lightweights is the Geiger Cup against Cornell and Columbia in Cambridge.

There can be several causes that will prevent the Windows Firewall from starting and I will attempt to cover them in this series of five blog posts. In this first post, I will cover Windows XP and Windows Vista / Windows 7 separately as they are two different services. Last I will cover one issue with OneCare. Note: Specifics on Windows Vista and Windows 7will come in a later blog post.
Windows XP
In Windows XP, the firewall service is named "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)", or SharedAccess service.
Typical errors seen as either popups or within event logs when the service fails to start are:
- Cannot start the Windows Firewall/Internet connection sharing (ICS) Service on local computer
- Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified
- Error 1705: While starting windows firewall and internet connection sharing services
Problems starting the Firewall Service in Windows XP are most commonly related to an issue with the Shared Access registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess
The quickest resolution is generally to rebuild the key. Instructions for doing this are in the following article, along with a FIXIT link:
Other things you will want to check are:
- Verify that the "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)" service is started
- Verify that the service is configured to logon as Local System Account, as shown below:
The above 3 items cover the vast majority of the issues with starting the Firewall in Windows XP.
Windows Vista and later (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2)
In Windows Vista and later, the firewall service is "Windows Firewall" (MPSSVC); it combines both Firewall and IPsec functionality.
The first thing to check is that the Base Filtering engine (BFE) is running. There are a number of services dependent on the BFE service (including the Windows Firewall) that may also fail to start:
- IPsec Policy Agent (PolicyAgent)
- Windows Firewall
- IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules
- Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
- Routing and Remote Access
In my experience most of the issues starting these services are related to permissions.
Typical errors seen in relation to starting this service are:
- Event ID: 7024 - The Windows Firewall service terminated with service-specific error 5 (0x5)
- Windows could not start the Base Filtering Engine service on Local Computer. Error 5: Access is denied.
- Windows could not start the IPsec Policy Agent service on Local Computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.
- Windows could not start the Network Location Awareness on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code -1073741288.
- The Windows Firewall service terminated with service-specific error 87 (0x57)
- Error 0x80004015: The class is configured to run as a security id different from the caller.
- The Windows Firewall service terminated with service-specific error 6801 (0x1A91).
- "net start mpssvc" in cmd.exe returns the system error 1297.
What to look for (specific details will be shared in a future blog post):
- Verify Log On permissions
- Verify registry permissions
- Verify privilege permissions
- Verify Service Dependencies
- Reset the default security permissions
- Verify that the TxR folder exists : %systemroot%\system32\config\TxR
- Verify the following registry keys by comparing them to a default Windows installation:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\BFE
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MpsSvc
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ShareAccess
Windows OneCare
Lastly, I am including information about one issue that may be seen with the Windows OneCare Firewall Service. The following messages may be seen:
The Windows OneCare Firewall Service Could not Start
Urgent - Turn on Firewall
You will see this error in the Windows OneCare interface, with a red status action item asking you to enable the firewall. The action listed does not enable the firewall, however.
This issue is also very specific because the firewall settings in Windows OneCare are grayed out and cannot be modified.
To resolve this issue:
Use the steps below to ensure that the PATH environment variable contains the following path:
- Click Start / Control Panel and open the System Icon.
- In System, click the Advanced tab and then Environment Variables.
- Ensure that in the lower box "System variables" that PATH exists. If Path does not exist click NEW and type in PATH as the variable name and enter the above path in the variable value.
- If PATH already exists, highlight it and click Edit.
- Under variable name, click at the end of the line to append the above mentioned path to the end of the current path. NOTE: BE SURE TO SEPERATE THE OLD PATH AND THE NEW PATH WITH A SEMI-COLON ( ; ).
- Click OK to close the windows and restart the computer.
If this does not resolve the issue, try the following step:
- Click Start / Run and type Regsvr32 %SystemRoot%\System32\wbem\wmidcprv.dll and click OK.
- Restart the computer and test the firewall again.
If this does not resolve the issue, or if the problem does not match the description, please follow the steps in KB article 910659.

SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 introduced several new features. One key feature was the inclusion of the Gauge Controls. I was recently asked to provide a real-world example of the Linear Gauge Control. Since I am always up for a challenge, I delve head deep into the gauge controls. After doing a little reading and testing of the linear control I chose my path. I started with the following report:
The data in the report can be reproduced using the stored procedure provided at the end of the posting. As you can see the report contains Sales data from each country. Looking at the report I noticed, after a little time, that the United States has the largest amount of sales. In the past I would have added a parameter that allowed dynamic sorts based on the Total Sales column, which is not a bad solution. This helps the end-user to quickly identify the BIG winners and losers in regards to sales. However, what about all the countries that fall in between? As a result, I decided to add a linear gauge control that would graphically depict sales as a percentage.
When you initially add the Linear Gauge control to the report, there are several items (ranges, pointers and labels) that are unnecessary.
Therefore before attempting to associate data with the control, I remove three things:
1. LinearPointer2
2. Two right-most Ranges, which are shaded in the lighter two shades of gray
I also hide the labels and any tick marks, which can be done by selecting the entire scale and un-checking the items labeled Show Labels and Show Major Tick Marks.
In then end you are left with a control that looks like this:
The next thing I did was to set the End range at scale value for the remaining Range to 100. Since I am attempting to graphically depict sales as a percentage, comparing the values to 100 should provide a meaningful representation of the data. To calculate the percentages I used the following expression:
In the expression I divide the Sales for each country by the total sales for all countries. Note that the sum for all countries is calculated by using the sum function, including the scope value. Finally the value is multiplied by 100 to ensure that the result is between 0 and 100, which is the start and end values of the controls only range (the remaining dark grey bar in the control).
Now the only thing left is to assign the calculated value to LiinearPointer1. To do this, select the orange part of the control only. Then right click, the following dialogue box will appear:
Click Pointer Properties, then the Linear Pointer Properties dialogue box will appear. Choose the expression button next to the textbox labeled value and insert the above calculation. Once complete run the report and you will be presented with a result similar to the following:
As you can see from the above image, an end user can easily identify which country is selling and which is not. If you have any questions or comments concerning this topic please feel free to email me at email@example.com.
Talk to you soon

A Nation At Risk: 30 Years Later
Thirty years ago, A Nation at Risk was released to a surprised country. Suddenly, Americans woke up to learn that SAT scores were plummeting and children were learning a lot less than before. This report became a turning point in modern U.S. education history and marked the beginning of a new focus on excellence, achievement, and results.
Due in large part to this report, we now judge a school by whether its students are learning rather than how much money is going into it, what its programs look like, or its earnest intentions. Education reform today is serious about standards, quality, assessment, accountability and benchmarking—by school, district, state and nation. This is new since 1983 and it's very important.
Yet we still have many miles to traverse before we sleep. Our students still need to learn far more and our schools need to become far more effective.
To recall the impact of A Nation at Risk these past three decades and to reflect on what lies ahead, watch this short retrospective developed by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and the American Enterprise Institute: A Nation at Risk: Thirty Years Later.

Successes and failures of the International Whaling Commission (IWC)
These management shortfalls resulted in the continued depletion of species after species. In particular, huge declines occurred in the Antarctic, where in the 1961/62 season, the peak was reached with over 66,000 whales killed. By then however it was becoming increasingly hard for the whalers to find enough whales to kill. From a pre-whaling population of about 250,000 blue whales in the Southern Hemisphere, there are now estimated to around 2,300 remaining.
'Save the whales' campaigns
Also in 1961, WWF was founded and accepted the challenge of reversing the declines in whale populations. 'Save the whales' campaigns spread around the world, promoting calls for whale sanctuaries and a moratorium on commercial whaling (most notably by the UN Conference on the Human Environment in 1972).
Continous decline in whale populations
Instead of implementing a moratorium, in 1974 the IWC adopted a New Management Procedure (NMP), designed to set quotas on the grounds of scientific assessments and sustainability. However, the NMP was not precautionary at all; it depended on having much more information on whale stocks than was available, quotas were still set too high, compliance was still lacking, and whale populations continued to decline.
Misleading information from some member states
At the 1979 IWC meeting, a moratorium on all whaling using factory ships (with an exception for minke whales) was agreed. The IWC also declared the entire Indian Ocean as a whale sanctuary. From then on, successful non-lethal whale research took place in that area (some of it funded by WWF).
However, it was also revealed that the USSR had been falsifying reported numbers and species were being caught on a massive scale, with the meat being sold to Japan. Conservation concerns expressed by scientists, WWF and other conservation organizations and conservation-minded governments grew deeper.
1982 meeting - moratorium on all commercial whaling
At the 1982 IWC meeting, a proposal for a moratorium on all commercial whaling, to come into force in 1986, was tabled by the Seychelles. The vote was comfortably won with a majority of 25 to 7, with 5 abstentions. Japan, Norway, and the USSR subsequently lodged official objections giving them exemption from the moratorium, but Japan withdrew its reservation as of the 1987/88 season. Iceland did not lodge an objection to the moratorium at the time it was established, but left the IWC in 1992, re-adhering to the ICRW with a reservation to the commercial whaling moratorium in 2002.
Because of the problems with the New Management Procedure, the IWC asked its Scientific Committee to produce a fail-safe management system that could ensure that any future commercial whaling would never again deplete whale stocks. In 1994, the Revised Management Procedure (RMP), a set of precautionary rules for setting catch limits, was agreed by IWC Resolution, although not formally adopted into the IWC 'Schedule', or rules of operation.
The RMP is designed as one part of a Revised Management Scheme (RMS) which would also include rules for conducting surveys of whale numbers and for the inspection and observation of commercial whaling. Continued controversy regarding the need for additional safeguards that would prevent any repetition of past abuses has so far prevented the adoption of the RMS.
Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary established
In 1994, after an intensive campaign by WWF and other NGOs, the 50 million square km. Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary came into force. In the long term this should ensure the recovery of the world's whale populations that have suffered most from exploitation. However, although several countries initiated non-lethal research in the Southern Ocean Sanctuary, Japan is still conducting lethal so-called "scientific" whaling within the boundaries of the Sanctuary, as well as in the North Pacific.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The U.S. stock market rose Thursday, pushing the S&P 500 to an intraday high and its 13th record close this year.
Investors shrugged off data showing the economy contracted in the first quarter and focused instead on better-than-expected jobless claims and deal news in the food industry.
Analysts questioned new highs on the benchmark S&P 500 as volumes on Wall Street have been thin. For NYSE-listed shares, it was the fourth-lowest volume day of the year.
The S&P 500 SPX, +1.32% rallied into the close and finished at its intraday record level, adding 10.25 points, or 0.5%, to 1,920.03.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.38% added 65.56 points, or 0.4%, to 16,698.74.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP, +1.03% ended the day up 22.87 points, or 0.5%, at 4,247.95.
Follow MarketWatch's live blog of today's stock-market action.
Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, notes the split personality between stocks and bonds.
"Equity markets are hitting record highs while 10-year Treasury yields are at below 2.5%, which suggest the economy growing at a slower pace than expected," Sandven said.
"We expect continuation of a sideways trading until we get more confirmation from economic data, specifically payrolls and manufacturing due next week," he added.
Disappointing GDP data did little to stall the rally. The U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter for the first time in three years, hampered by harsh weather that disrupted business operations and slowed construction, according to newly revised government figures.
Separately, the number of people applying for U.S. unemployment benefits sank last week to the second-lowest level since the recession ended in mid-2009, suggesting continued improvement in a labor market that's perked up in the early spring.
A gauge of pending home sales rose 0.4% in April — the second consecutive gain after slumping since the summer — signaling that sales of existing homes may pick up, the National Association of Realtors reported Thursday.
In corporate news, shares of Hillshire Brands Co. US:HSH soared 18% after Tyson Foods Inc. TSN, +2.64% offered to buy the maker of Jimmy Dean sausage for $50 a share in cash, topping Pilgrim's offer of $45 a share. Tyson Foods shares rose 6.1%, putting it at the leading spot on the S&P 500. Also read: What Tyson and Pilgrim's Pride see in Hillshire.
Reporting ahead of the open, Abercrombie & Fitch Co. ANF, +4.86% posted a narrower loss than expected and posted first-quarter sales that beat forecasts. Shares rallied 5.8%.
Shares of Palo Alto Networks Inc. PANW, +0.00% jumped 5.3% after the cybersecurity company late Wednesday reported fiscal third-quarter results that topped Wall Street estimates.
Shares of Tilly's Inc. TLYS, +0.58% tanked 17% after the retailer on Wednesday forecast second-quarter earnings of 3 cents to 7 cents a share with same-store sales to "decline in the high single digits." Analysts expect second-quarter earnings of 13 cents a share.
Amsurg Corp. US:AMSG shares rallied 6.9% after said the operator of ambulatory surgery centers said will buy Sheridan Healthcare in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $2.35 billion.
In other financial markets, most Asian markets closed in the red, while the European indexes SXXP, -0.19% closed mostly higher. Most metals US:GCQ4 declined, while oil futures CLN4, +0.00% settled higher. The dollar DXY, -0.03% fell against most other major currencies.

Review: 'Parkland' a tacky restaging of tragedy
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A painful retelling of the Nov. 22, 1963, assassination of President Kennedy in which the two least important players seem to be JFK and Lee Harvey Oswald, "Parkland" dramatizes the immediate impact of that tragedy on the lives of civilians, professionals and others tangentially involved. Comparisons with "Bobby" can't be helped, since it took a similar approach to the equally shocking death of Robert F. Kennedy, though that film seems like a masterpiece compared with this inadvertently tacky restaging of events. Timed to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the tragedy, this film will swiftly be forgotten in the face of more tasteful mementos.
If you've ever wanted to know the expression on Abraham Zapruder's face when his Super 8 camera captured history's most famous snuff film, or to see the footage reflected in his eyeglasses right after it has been developed, "Parkland" is your movie. Writer-director Peter Landesman offers a reverse-shot on history, depicting the little people pulled into the maelstrom of confusion that surrounded Kennedy's killing. But mostly, it feels like witnessing someone play a cruel jack-in-the-box trick on dozens of innocent bystanders, watching the belief in humanity fade from one face after another, as when Jackie (Kat Steffens) learns that her husband is dead, or Oswald's brother Robert (James Badge Dale) hears the news on the radio.
Based on the first 700 or so pages of Vincent Bugliosi's "Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy," a solid piece of reportage by the author (and prosecuting attorney) behind "Helter Skelter," ″Parkland" would have been considerably easier to stomach in documentary form. Instead, we get a bizarre mix of Oscar winners and softball actors, as jittery hand-held cameras find Marcia Gay Harden working alongside "High School Musical" heartthrob Zac Efron in the ER where doctors tried to save the president's life. (Fun fact: For the sake of dignity, supervising physician Charles James Carrico evidently ordered that they leave Kennedy's boxer shorts on while trying to resuscitate him.)
"This was not supposed to happen," offers Secret Service agent Forrest Sorrels (Billy Bob Thornton), the sort of banal dialogue that begs the question of whether anyone could muster a less dramatic retelling of events. Granted, Landesman feels an obligation to history, but there's something ponderously obvious about the way so many of these scenes are played: Paul Giamatti is sweaty and panting breathlessly as Zapruder; Ron Livingston looks shell-shocked and blank as FBI agent James P. Hosty, who failed to investigate Oswald; Jackie Earle Haley has nothing to work with as the priest who delivers Kennedy's last rites.
The only characters that rise above waxy re-creation in the whole affair are the Oswalds: Dale and Jacki Weaver, who plays Lee's venom-spewing mother, Marguerite — a real piece of work. Behind horn-rimmed glasses and a biting Southern accent, Weaver delivers a camp performance totally out of synch with the rest of the ensemble.
Named after the Dallas hospital where Kennedy was treated, "Parkland" spans four days in a very tight bubble. Apart from Walter Cronkite's famous sign-off following JFK's funeral, there's little sense of how anyone outside this microcosm of characters reacted to events, the exception being Jack Ruby, whose shooting of Oswald also conforms to the movie's curious style of rendering key events as obliquely as possible.
It's as if Landesman wants to break from the now-cliched footage Americans already associate with this tragedy, attempting to introduce fresh images in their place. But no one really needs the sight of a blood-spattered Jackie cupping a handful of JFK's skull and brain matter, while the irony feels forced when asking the same Parkland staff who had lost Kennedy to treat Oswald or cross-cutting between their funerals. The pic badly miscalculates such mock-poetic heavy-handedness as the classy approach, making it worse by slathering it all in a score that alternates between patriotic horns and cheesy suspense music.
"Parkland," an Exclusive release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for "bloody sequences of ER trauma procedures, some violent images and language, and smoking throughout." Running time: 94 minutes.
MPAA rating definition for PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

High blood pressure and pregnancy — Answers to common questions about managing hypertension during pregnancy.
Having high blood pressure (hypertension) during pregnancy — whether you develop the condition before or after conception — requires special care. Here''s what you need to know about high blood pressure and pregnancy.
Sometimes high blood pressure is present before pregnancy. In other cases, high blood pressure develops during pregnancy. For example:
High blood pressure during pregnancy poses various risks, including:
Preeclampsia sometimes develops without any symptoms. High blood pressure might develop slowly, but more commonly it has a sudden onset. Monitoring your blood pressure is an important part of prenatal care because the first sign of preeclampsia is commonly a rise in blood pressure. Blood pressure that is 140/90 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or greater — documented on two occasions, at least four hours apart — is abnormal.
Other signs and symptoms of preeclampsia might include:
Sudden weight gain and swelling (edema) — particularly in your face and hands — often accompanies preeclampsia. But these things also occur in many normal pregnancies, so they''re not considered reliable signs of preeclampsia.
Any medication you take during pregnancy can affect your baby. Although some medications used to lower blood pressure are considered safe during pregnancy, others — such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and renin inhibitors — are generally avoided during pregnancy.
Treatment is important, however. The risk of heart attack, stroke and other problems associated with high blood pressure doesn''t go away during pregnancy. And high blood pressure can be dangerous for your baby, too.
If you need medication to control your blood pressure during pregnancy, your health care provider will prescribe the safest medication at the most appropriate dose. Take the medication exactly as prescribed. Don''t stop taking the medication or adjust the dose on your own.
If you have high blood pressure, schedule a preconception appointment with the health care provider who''ll be handling your pregnancy. Also meet with other members of your health care team, such as your family doctor or cardiologist. They''ll evaluate how well you''re managing your high blood pressure and consider any treatment changes you might need to make before pregnancy. If you''re overweight, your health care provider might recommend losing the excess pounds before you try to conceive.
During pregnancy, you''ll see your health care provider often. Your weight and blood pressure will be checked at every visit, and you might need frequent blood and urine tests.
Your health care provider will closely monitor your baby''s health as well. Frequent ultrasounds might be used to track your baby''s growth and development. Fetal heart rate monitoring might be used to evaluate your baby''s well-being. Your health care provider might also recommend monitoring your baby''s daily movements.
Taking good care of yourself is the best way to take care of your baby. For example:
Researchers continue to study ways to prevent preeclampsia, but so far, no clear strategies have emerged. If you had preeclampsia in a previous pregnancy that resulted in delivery before 34 weeks'' gestation or you had preeclampsia in more than one previous pregnancy, your doctor might recommend a daily low-dose aspirin — between 60 and 81 milligrams — beginning late in your first trimester.
Your health care provider might suggest inducing labor a few days before your due date to avoid complications. If you develop preeclampsia or other complications, induction might be needed even earlier. If you have severe preeclampsia, you might be given medication during labor to help prevent seizures. In some cases, a C-section might be needed.
Breast-feeding is encouraged for most women who have high blood pressure, even those who take medication. Discuss any medication adjustments you''ll need to make with your health care provider ahead of time. Sometimes an alternate blood pressure medication is recommended. Your health care provider might also recommend that you avoid breast-feeding right after you take your medication.

The Cisco Unified IP Phone 8961, 9951, and 9971 Troubleshooting Guide 8.5 provides you with the information you frequently ask to understand and use the Cisco Unified IP Phones 8961, 9951, and 9971.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why can't I see all the active calls on my phone?
A. When there are more calls than available session buttons on the phone, you can scroll using the Navigation pad to see them. Calls are sorted from oldest to newest, with the oldest call at the top of the list.
Q. How do I redirect an incoming call when I am on a call?
A. To redirect an incoming (ringing) call while on another call, use the Navigation pad to highlight the incoming call, and then press the Divert softkey. (Otherwise pressing the Divert softkey will redirect the current, active call.)
Q. If I'm on a call, how can I silence the ringing of an incoming call?
A. You can silence the incoming (ringing) call by pressing the Volume button down once, and then let the incoming call go to the target number (voicemail or predetermined number set up the system administrator).
Q. How can I resume a call that is on hold?
A. To resume a call on hold, you can use any of the following methods:
- Press the pulsing green session button.
- Press the call session on the phone display (For the Cisco Unified IP Phone 9971 only).
- Press the Resume softkey.
- Highlight the call by using the Navigation pad and press the Select softkey. Note that pressing the Hold button again does not resume the call.
Q. What is the difference between the buttons on the left and those on the right of the screen?
A. Your phone has feature buttons on the left and call session buttons on the right. Use the feature buttons to access features (such as speed dial) or select a phone line. Use call session buttons to perform call-related tasks, such as making a new call, resuming a held call, or checking your voicemail.
Q. Why do the softkeys keep changing?
A. Softkeys act on the selected (highlighted) call or menu item only. Which softkeys are displayed depends on the call or item you have selected.
Q. What is the best way to look at calls when I have a shared line or multiple lines?
A. If you have a shared line or multiple lines, it is recommended that you use the All Calls feature to view calls. When you press the All Calls button (on the left), all calls for all your lines are listed on the phone screen in chronological order (oldest first). (If you do not have an All Calls button, ask your system administrator to set up this feature.)
Q. Why does my call disappear after I accidently press a button?
A. If you are on a call and press a button for another line, your line view will change. Your current call disappears from view and calls for the newly selected line are displayed. To redisplay the call you are on, select the line it is on or press All Calls.
Q. How do I check missed calls on my phone?
A. To check missed calls on your phone you must:
1. Press the Applications button
2. Select Call History. (Use the Navigation pad and Select button to scroll and select.)
3. Press the Missed softkey.
Q. How do I exit from a running application?
A. To exit from a running applications you must:
1. Press the Applications button File:193054.JPEG.
2. Select Running Applications. (Use the Navigation pad and Select button to scroll and select.)
3. Select a running application and press the Close App softkey to close the application. When prompted, save your changes.
4. Press the Exit softkey end the running application. If you do not exit a running application, it will persist in the background.
Q. How do I connect two calls and then drop from the line myself?
A. When you are on an active call (not on hold), do the following:
1. Press the Transfer button [[Image:]] and enter the transfer recipient's phone number in one of these ways:
- Press the session button of a held call.
- Enter the transfer recipient's phone number.
- Scroll to a Call History record and press the Call softkey.
- Press a speed-dial button.
- Press the Speed Dial softkey, enter a speed-dial number or highlight the number you want to call, and press the Speed Dial softkey again.
- Press the Active Calls softkey and select a held call. (The transfer completes immediately.)
2. Press the Transfer button again. (You do not have to wait for the recipient to answer to complete the transfer.)
Q. What does the Swap softkey do?
A. The Swap softkey allows you to toggle between two calls before completing the transfer or creating a conference. This allows you to consult privately with the party or parties on each call before combining the calls into a conference.
Q. Can I cancel a conference or transfer procedure after I have started it?
A. Yes, before completing a conference or transfer, you can press the Release button or Cancel softkey to cancel it.
Q. How can I combine two calls on hold into a single conference call?
A. Make sure that one of the calls is active (not on hold). If both calls are on hold, resume one call, then:
1. Press the Conference button .
2. Press the line button for the other (held) call.
The conference begins. (The conference is established on the line that had the active call.)
Q. Should I mount my Cisco Unified Video Camera on my phone or on my computer monitor?
A. For casual video calling, a camera mounted directly on the phone is recommended. If you plan to turn to face your computer monitor often (for example, if you are presenting slides), a camera mounted on monitor might be preferable. Experiment with both and see what works best for you.
If you prefer to mount your camera on your computer monitor, ask your system administrator for a camera mounting clip and USB extension cable.
Q. How can I keep my Cisco Unified Video Camera secure to prevent theft?
A. If you are concerned about theft, you can place the camera in a locked drawer when not in use. If you plan to remove the camera regularly for this reason, consider attaching the camera to a USB extension cable (available from your system administrator) rather than mounting the camera directly on the phone.
Connecting and disconnecting the camera is easy and neither resets the phone nor disrupts the audio portion of an active call. However, you may find connecting and disconnecting the camera easier if a USB cable is used rather than directly removing and reattaching the camera to the phone.
Note that the Cisco wall mount kit contains a security mechanism which locks the camera to the phone.
Q. Not all calls present video on my phone. Why not?
A. To see an image of the other party on your phone screen, the other party's phone must support video and the other party must have a camera installed and enabled on his or her phone. During conference calls, the conference system in use during the call must support video conferencing.
Q. What does the Preview softkey do?
A. If you have a Cisco Unified Video Camera installed on your phone, you can press the Preview softkey to see the view from your camera when you are not in a video call. Try using Preview before making video calls to help set up and position your camera effectively.
Q. What happens to video when I put a call on hold?
A. Video transmission is muted (blocked) until you resume the call.
Q. What does the different light colors on my Cisco Unified Video Camera indicate?
A. The colors indicate video transmission states as follows:
- Green—Your video is transmitting.
- Red—Your video is muted.
Q. How can I close the shutter on my Cisco Unified Video Camera?
A. Close the camera shutter by rotating the camera lens clockwise. Rotate counter-clockwise to open the shutter again.
Q. Why does video from my Cisco Unified Video Camera appear too dark (or too light)?
A. Lighting conditions (such as windows and ceiling lights) within the camera's field of view affect the brightness. Try moving the camera to see if the brightness improves. You can also adjust the brightness setting.

WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats harshly criticized U.S. Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., on Thursday for reversing course on legislation they say would have helped unemployed veterans find work.
Democrats thought Boozman was on board after they added several Republican initiatives to the bill, but he joined the majority of Republicans in opposition.
U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., has also come under fire for statements he made Thursday on MSNBC's Morning Joe program defending his party's action.
Coburn derided what he called budget gimmickry he said Democrats used to claim they had offset additional spending with equivalent reductions.
The bill, which would have established a $1 billion Veterans Jobs Corp., was blocked on a procedural vote Wednesday that fell two votes shy of the 60-vote majority needed for passage. The vote was 58-40.
The unemployment rate for post-9/11 veterans was 10.9 percent in August.
All Democrats voted for the bill, joined by five Republicans. There were 40 Senate Republicans in opposition and two that did not vote.
Boozman and three other Senate Republicans – Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Mike Johanns of Nebraska and Richard Burr of North Carolina – had as of last week been supporting the bill, according to the non-partisan Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
Democrats on Twitter, Facebook and other social media have gone after the four Republicans for voting to spike the bill.
"Four Republicans should be called out for duplicity at the expense of veterans," wrote Democrat Robert Bowen on Examiner.com, saying they "enticed Democrats to fill the bill with Republican amendments" only to renege and kill the bill.
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., who chairs the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, said it was "shocking and shameful" that Republicans chose to kill a bill that would put veterans back to work.
"This bill includes 12 different provisions to help create veterans jobs – and eight of them are ideas that have come from Republicans," she said. "At every turn, we have sought compromise. But instead of meeting us halfway, we have been met with resistance."
Boozman spokeswoman Sara Lasure said the senator had hoped to support the legislation but in the end he could not because it increased spending beyond the limits imposed by last year's deficit reduction agreement.
Lasure also disputed the claim that Boozman had agreed to back the bill after GOP initiatives were added to it.
"Sen. Boozman was never consulted on the addition and not part of the negotiation process for this legislation," she said.
The bill included a paired down version of legislation he introduced to expand a Transition Assistance Program for veterans.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., claimed Republicans were blocking the measure simply because it was supported by President Obama.
"My colleagues have played politics with all types of common sense measures," Reid said. "But blocking a veterans' jobs bill is a new low."
Obama had proposed a Veterans Jobs Corp program during his State of the Union address.
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America blamed both sides for failing to help thousands of young veterans find work.
"This Congress let partisan bickering stand in the way of putting thousands of America's heroes back to work," said Paul Rieckhoff, founder of the non-profit group. "We hope constituents, veterans and their families across the country will hold the Senate accountable for this failure."

Now that Johns Hopkins has opened the door for conferences to woo the illustrious program, the most pressing question centers on if there is one league that best suits the Blue Jays – and vice versa.
If coach Dave Pietramala and athletic director Tom Calder are steadfast in retaining traditional rivalries, the Atlantic Coast Conference would appear to be the best fit. Joining that league would allow Johns Hopkins to maintain traditional series with North Carolina, Syracuse and Virginia, and the team would simply have to carve out space for Duke and Notre Dame. Those five opponents would be more than enough to enhance the Blue Jays' strength of schedule, too.
The Big East would be a league that might make sense geographically and competitively. Georgetown, Providence, St. John's and Villanova are on the East Coast with Marquette requiring a flight, and Johns Hopkins' strength would make it a preseason favorite for the conference title on an annual basis.
A potential Big Ten would offer players and recruits to play on historic fields like Michigan Stadium, Ohio Stadium (Ohio State), and Byrd Stadium (Maryland). Plus, the Blue Jays could continue their rivalry with the Terps.
The problem with joining a conference is that games involving league opponents would crowd out contests entailing non-conference opponents that have been mainstays on Johns Hopkins' schedule. So local rivalries like Loyola, Navy, Towson and UMBC could be on the outside looking in.
While acknowledging that there are several series he would like to protect, Pietramala said he does not want to cede traditions with other programs.
"I don't want to forget our local rivalries," he said. "There's a lot to consider here. Where some teams have one or two rivals, when you look at Johns Hopkins, one of the unique things about us is, we have several. And if you go through the different eras, you might get a different answer from the guys in the 70s and 80s as to who their rivals was and then the late 80s and 90s and then the 90s and 2000s. All of that is an important consideration, and I think there is a group of schools that we feel like it's important that we do all we can to maintain those rivalries."
The underlying element in this decision is that if the Blue Jays and a conference can agree to join forces, the league will get a top-tier member in the sport of lacrosse and Johns Hopkins will get another avenue by which to qualify for the NCAA tournament. That additional option was not lost on Calder.
"The important thing for us is to win a national championship and how do you do that?" he asked rhetorically. "You get into the NCAAs, and what's the best way to get in? Well, give yourself two options. You can play an extremely strong schedule, but at the same time, there's another advantage to being in a conference championship. So we wanted a second chance to get into the NCAAs."

There's Too Much Cheering Over Stocks

BRISTOL, Tenn. – In the spring of 2013, the King University women's basketball had the fortune of meeting Jess McMurray, a basketball player at Sullivan Central High School. McMurray, who had a brain tumor, was put in contact through Team IMPACT, an organization that connects children that have life-threatening and chronic illnesses with an athletic team.
Head coach Josh Thompson found out about the opportunity through the Conference Carolinas office as McMurray had contacted them after returning to her home of Kingsport after a stay in Knoxville where she bonded with the University of Tennessee women's basketball team. Now that she was back in the Tri-Cities area, she wanted her to connect with a team that was closer than Knoxville, and that's when the King women's basketball team became involved.
"It's been great having Jess as a part of our team," head coach Josh Thompson said. "We're really happy that we've had the opportunity to get to know Jess and her family. She has been an inspiration to all of us of incredible character, perseverance, and hope through a very hard time in her life."
Thompson established a "leadership council" that included Tia Keitt, Kelly Jackson and Brittany Stringer. This trio, threw a party last spring to introduce McMurray to the team which allowed everyone to get to know one another in 2013. This allowed the Tornado to make her feel part of the team.
"I love being able to impact a child's life that has gone through so much that we can never understand," Jackson said. "Her impact on us has been very influential as well."
The relationship has grown from the first meeting as McMurray has attended get-togethers with the team at Thompson's house. She is present at most of King's home games, and invited into the Tornado locker room before and after games.
Outside of full team activities, members of the team try to spend as much time with McMurray as they can. The team went bowling one night with McMurray and attended her birthday party as well as her one year anniversary of cancer free party.
"This experience has raised awareness for different kinds of cancer, not just breast cancer," commented Keitt. "It also made us aware to the fact that kids get cancer too. You see the commercials, and it doesn't affect you as much as meeting someone that has been through chemo and has a real story."
Both Keitt and Jackson said that the team is really close with McMurray and their chemistry was good from the beginning. Both want to continue a relationship with McMurray once they graduate. McMurray was recently released to play basketball again, the both Keitt and Jackson hope to attend her Senior Day on February 6.
