Global Range: (>2,500,000 square km (greater than 1,000,000 square miles)) It is extremely widespread; from the Rockies to southern Canada to New Jersey and throughout the Mississippi River basin and Great Lakes (Hobbs, 1989). Pflieger (1996) lists range as much of the eastern United States east of a line from eastern Texas to central Minnesota, except the Florida peninsula and much of the Appalachians, and westward along the Missouri and Platte Rivers to southern North Dakota, eastern Wyoming and Colorado.
Physical Description
Devil crayfish are crustaceans related to lobsters (Family Nephropidae) and shrimp (Infraorder Caridea). They have hard exoskeletons that serve as protection from predatory animals. Coloring of these crayfish can vary but they tend to be dark reddish-brown or gray. Bright pastel red and blue individuals have also been found and young crayfish are mostly green, while older individuals are mostly dark brown. Two color variants have been observed in this species, a solid color phase (the most typical) and a striped phase. Devil crayfish resemble miniature lobsters, with spines, ten legs, a rostrum (extending in front of its eyes) with an acumen (pointed apical tip), and a pair of chelae (large claws). Gills are tucked underneath the body. Males differ from females in having a long rostrum with a narrower, more tapered acumen and larger, heavier chelae.
Range length: 40 to 61 mm.
Other Physical Features: ectothermic ; bilateral symmetry
Sexual Dimorphism: sexes shaped differently

Diagnostic Description
Dactyl of chela with broad concavity in basal half of opposable margin; areola obliterated and about 40% of TCL; lacking overreaching median spine on inner ramus of uropod; male 1st pleopods as described above.
Habitat and Ecology
Their burrows usually have mudchimneys, but they are not as deep as the burrows of Fallicambarus fodiens(Taylor et al.2005).
- Freshwater
Devil crayfish are burrowing crayfish found primarily in freshwater. Individuals spend most of their life-cycle in underground chambers near marshy and swampy areas of rivers, streams, and ponds. These underground tunnels, each with only one inhabitant, have several openings at the surface, which may have chimneys formed by excavated dirt. These tunnels provide excellent shelter and protection during feeding, mating, egg laying and rearing young, and are deep enough to reach ground water during periods of drought and to avoid freezing winter temperatures. Mean burrow depth ranges from 57.5 cm in autumn to 61.9 cm in spring. Burrows also serve as microhabitats for amphipods and isopods.
Range depth: 0.575 to 0.619 m.
Habitat Regions: temperate ; freshwater
Aquatic Biomes: lakes and ponds; rivers and streams
Wetlands: marsh ; swamp

Habitat Type: Freshwater
Comments: Can be excavated almost anywhere where water table is near surface; lives as primary burrower in burrows constructed in timbered and formerly timbered areas along streams and ditches (Pflieger, 1996). In Texas, it burrows near permanent streams and is in surface waters during sprign and after rains but usually remains within the immediate vicinity of its burrow.
Non-Migrant: No. All populations of this species make significant seasonal migrations.
Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make local extended movements (generally less than 200 km) at particular times of the year (e.g., to breeding or wintering grounds, to hibernation sites).
Locally Migrant: No. No populations of this species make annual migrations of over 200 km.
Trophic Strategy
Devil crayfish are scavengers and predators. About 60% of their diet is comprised of living or decaying aquatic vegetation with the other 40% made up of aquatic worms, insects, snails and detritus.
Animal Foods: insects; mollusks; aquatic or marine worms
Plant Foods: leaves
Other Foods: detritus
Primary Diet: carnivore (Insectivore ); omnivore ; detritivore
Comments: Opportunistic; herbivore as habitat dictates.
Devil crayfish play an important role in the aquatic ecosystem as predators and have been observed to have a net positive effect on prey animal populations. They also function as ecosystem engineers, providing extensive burrowing tunnels and systems throughout aquatic habitats. The larvae of an endangered species (Hines emerald dragonfly, Somatochlora hineana) regularly inhabit devil crayfish burrows in the late summer when their own larval habitats dry up. Devil crayfish are also a threat to populations of this species because they are are known to prey on larvae. Devil crayfish are hosts to a number of parasites, including a leech-like worm (Cambarincola macrodonta), flukeworms and many ostracods.

This species is prey to more than 200 predatory species, including various fishes, raccoons, Virginia opossum, red foxes, barred owls, Eastern newts, muskrats, crows, spotted salamanders, Eastern painted turtles, Northern water snakes, and red-tailed hawks. Two-thirds of this species' population is consumed by fish. Their burrows, as well as their small size and ability to move quickly, lend individuals some protection from predation. An anti-predator adaptation in this species is a tail-flip response, a rapid flip of the tail segments that allows individuals to quickly flee in the opposite direction. This response also acts as a warning system, signaling others to follow suit.

Population Biology
Number of Occurrences
Note: For many non-migratory species, occurrences are roughly equivalent to populations.
Estimated Number of Occurrences: > 300
Comments: Hobbs et al. (1976) documented it in the Savannah River Plant Park (on the Savannah River) in southwest South Carolina not in the Savannah River proper but in the immediate area. It is widespread across east central and eastern Texas (Johnson and Johnson, 2008). In Georgia, most populations occur on the Coastal Plain but a few also occur in the Piedmont Province (Skelton, 2010). In the Cumberland Plateau, it occurs throughout (Bouchard, 1974). In Alabama, known from all river systems except the Cahaba, Pascagoula, and Perdido (Mirarchi et al., 2004; in appendix 1-2 published separately; Schuster and Taylor, 2004; Schuster and Taylor, 2008). In Kentucky, it is generally distributed in the western half of the state (Taylor and Schuster, 2004). In Missouri, it is nearly statewide but apparently absent from the southwestern Ozarks (White and Neosho drainages) (Pflieger, 1996). In Kansas, it occurs in the northeast in eastern Kansas and Marais des Cygnes River basins (Ghedotti, 1998). In South Carolina, it is documented from most coastal plains counties (Eversole and Jones, 2004). Francois (1959) cites it in New Jersey from Cape May, Cumberland, Mercer, Morris Cos. and from Bucks, Delaware, and Philadelphia Cos., Pennsylvania. NCSM has records from Salem, Cape May, and Camden Cos., New Jersey. It was recently documented in the vicinity of Plummers Island (bank of Potomac River), Montgomery Co., Maryland (Norden, 2008). In Maryland, it is the most common burrowing species in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont regions and is considered stable (Killian et al., 2010). In Ohio it occurs in a few sterams in the western part of the state, probably by way of the Wabash River system (Thoma and Jezerinac, 2000). It has also been documented in western New York (Gall and Jezerinac, 1998). In Canada it occurs in southwestern Ontario from the Welland River in the east to just west of Long Point; extending west to the Niagara Peninsula as well as the northeastern shoreline of Lake Erie with one anomalous record far north in Rainy River District near Atikokan (Giasu et al., 1996; Hamr, 2006). Hamr (2006) documented 18 Ontario populations.
Global Abundance
>1,000,000 individuals
Comments: In Canada, burrow density ranged from 0.25 to 4.5 per sq. m (Hamr, 2006).
Life History and Behavior
Devil crayfish have eyes on movable stalks, allowing them to see in different directions. They use their antennae and chelae, which are covered in tiny hairs, to detect prey and predator animals by sensing water movements. In order to identify and signal readiness for mating to other crayfish, they emit chemical cues, including female pheromones which males sense via their antennules.
Communication Channels: visual ; tactile ; chemical
Other Communication Modes: pheromones
Perception Channels: visual ; tactile ; chemical
Comments: Nocturnal except for emergence from burrow to breed.
Life Cycle
After devil crayfish hatch, young cling tightly to their mothers' pleopods using their claws. Young stay with the mother through their first and second molts and most of the third. During the first larval stage, devil crayfish measure about 4.5 mm and are still somewhat embryonic. While in the second larval stage, young detach and swim away from their mothers, returning throughout the second and third stages and remaining near their mothers until they are able to be independent. Juveniles will grow up to 20 mm during the fall, and by their second summer they reach 30 to 35 mm, molting into mature adults.

Life Expectancy
Devil crayfish can live three years or more.
Average lifespan
Status: wild: 3 years.
Devil crayfish are solitary animals, meeting with other individuals only during mating season. Females release pheromones, signaling their readiness to mate. These pheromones are detected by males through their antennules (short antennae). Males court females by touching them with their antennae and claws. Males deposit sperm into females' sperm receptacles during copulation, plugging them afterwards to prevent further mating.
Mating System: polygynandrous (promiscuous)
This species reproduces annually, with breeding occurring predominantly in the fall. Egg-laying occurs in spring after temperatures have risen and photoperiods extend. All devil crayfish eggs are attached to the mother's pleopods for at least four weeks (the composition of the attachment is unknown). Females can lay up to 200 eggs, but only 10% typically survive past the first year.
Breeding interval: Devil crayfish breed once yearly.
Breeding season: Fall
Average number of offspring: 200.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; fertilization (Internal ); oviparous
While devil crayfish mate in the fall, they wait until the warmer spring temperatures to lay their eggs. After they have been laid, eggs are attached to the mothers until hatching via a hardened mass. After hatching, the larvae are in the first larval stage and firmly attached to their mother's pleopods, living an embryo-like existence. Even after molting into the second and third larval stage, the larvae still rely heavily on their mother because they are incapable of being freely living. However, after the second stage the larvae detach themselves from their mothers, although they return to her often. After molting into the third larval stage, young continue to stay with their mothers for protection until reaching full maturity.
Parental Investment: female parental care ; pre-hatching/birth (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-weaning/fledging (Provisioning: Female, Protecting: Female); pre-independence (Protecting: Female)

Global Long Term Trend: Increase of 10-25% to decline of 30%
Degree of Threat: Low
Comments: It is unlikely that there are any major threats impacting Cambarus diogenes.
Conservation Actions
Part of this species' range occurs within a federally protected area (Long Point National Wildlife Area Canadian Wildlife Service) (Taylor et al. 2005).However, further research should be implemented to establish the life history of this species.
Global Protection: Unknown whether any occurrences are appropriately protected and managed
Comments: In Canada, 39% of populations occur in protected areas (Hamr, 2006).
Relevance to Humans and Ecosystems
There are no known adverse effects of devil crayfish on humans.
This species is important to the food industry in a number of ways. It serves as bait, particularly for bass, trout, perch, carp and catfish, and it is also consumed by humans. Devil crayfish keep water quality levels high by eating dead animal and plant material from streams, and they control insect populations as well.
Positive Impacts: food ; controls pest population
Economic Uses
Comments: Often cited as pest for burrowing into dykes, levees, etc.
Cambarus diogenes
Cambarus diogenes (known as the devil crayfish, chimney crayfish, thunder crawfish or meadow crayfish) is a crayfish that grows to be 11.5 centimetres (4.5 in), not including the claws. It tends to live in wetlands and moist woodlands. They are most active in the summer and spring where they can be found near streams and floodplains near their mud chimney, where they live.[2]
C. diogenes is found in Ontario and throughout the eastern United States, and is therefore listed as a species of Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.[3]

Physicists are trying to find an elusive new type of particle called sterile neutrinos. But it's hard, because the particles only interact with other matter through gravitational force, the weakest of all known forces: Since their masses would be so tiny, their gravitational effects would be impossible to observe.
Tiny brains made cookie-cutter style could speed discoveries and complement — or some say, replace — mouse models now routinely used in laboratory research on neurological diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

With just one more fixture for Arsenal to play this year, it's time for Gunners fans to put 2012 behind them.
It was an emotional year that started on an extremely sour note with injury crises and a tremendous dip in form. Then came a slow revival that saw Arsenal steadily chip away at Tottenham's 10-point lead and remarkably finish in third place.
The Gunners' form has not been nearly as kind this season, with Arsene Wenger guiding his men to their worst points total into December since he became manager.
That all begs the question: What does 2013 have in store?
Can Arsenal somehow win a trophy? Does the January transfer window bear any surprises? Will Theo Walcott re-sign?
Read on to see my predictions.

The Tragedy of Louis Scarcella
Another day, another murder, another suspect refusing to talk. The precinct caught maybe half a dozen homicides a week. This was 1993, and this was north Brooklyn. For every case solved there were plenty more cold ones on the books. But the young precinct detective was skilled and lucky on this one. He had good street sources and he had a lead within hours of the shooting. It led to an arrest.
The precinct detective sat across the table from the suspect in a small, windowless interrogation room in the far corner of the precinct. He knew the suspect would not crack easily. The man was not some stickup kid who'd botched a robbery, not some crack fiend looking for quick cash, not some corner boy settling a score. The man, the detective believed, was a leader of the neighborhood's most powerful gang. An hour or so into the questioning, the suspect held the line.
The door opened. Two men in suits walked in. The man in front was a broad-shouldered, barrel-chested, thin-waisted, thick-haired fellow with deep-set, dark eyes and an icy glare. The precinct detective knew this man. He'd seen him around the precinct. It was hard to miss him. He looked, colleagues often said, how a detective in a movie looks. And he played the part well. His suits were tailored. He always seemed to be chomping his trademark cigar, whether at the station, on the streets, or at the bar after hours. He had a booming voice thick with a Brooklyn accent. He had a hearty laugh and a respectable handshake. He loved to buy others drinks and trade stories. He was the friendliest and warmest man many of his peers had ever met, and he was quick to cut himself down with abundant doses of self-deprecation. It was hard not to love Detective Louis Scarcella.

Accurate numerical simulations based on rigorous radiative transfer theory are used to assess the validity of the diffusion approximation that is frequently used in bio-optical imaging. These simulations show that the error is large for a non-index-matched boundary between air and tissue. This weakness of the diffusion approximation underscores the need to understand how diffusion theory can be used to extract accurate values of tissue optical properties. A validity criterion for the diffusion approximation is established on the basis of the single-scattering albedo a and the asymmetry factor g for a slab with index-matched boundaries.

GTA case filed in Tennessee
The families of two people shot by teenagers allegedly inspired by the game GTA3 have filed a lawsuit in Tennessee against Sony, Take 2 and Wal-Mart. The families seek damages from the firms totalling $246 million, and alleges that the game in question "inspires and trains players to shoot at vehicles and persons". Though presumably you'd already have to be out of your mind to be inspired to shoot at vehicles with a loaded weapon; a fact overlooked by Jack Thompson, the Miami lawyer taking on the case.
Aaron Hamel, 45, a registered nurse, was killed and Kimberly Bede, 19, of Moneta, Va., was seriously wounded when their cars were hit June 25 by .22-caliber bullets as they passed through the Great Smoky Mountains. A report on MSNBC states.
"There is no credible evidence that violent games lead to violent behavior," responded Douglas Lowenstein, president of the industry Entertainment Software Association. "While video games may provide a simple excuse for the teenagers involved in this incident, responsibility for violent acts belongs to those who commit them." Apparently, the boys told investigators they were mimicking the game in retrieving rifles from a locked room in the family home, and then shooting randomly at vehicles on the interstate 40.
Lawyer Jack Thompson attempted a similar $33 million case in 1977, which failed with the court of appeals concluding that it was "simply too far a leap from shooting characters on a video screen to shooting people in a classroom".
Without wishing to sound like a broken record, I fail to see how any court in it's right mind can even entertain a case such as this; given the amount of cultural inherencies which would already have influenced the boys long before and after they played GTA3. Should the parents be blamed for letting them play the game/gain access to the weapons used? Perhaps the rifle manufacturers should be blamed for not having the foresight to predict that their products might be used to kill? We may as well sue the news corporations too, for reporting and presenting real-world violent events.
In conclusion there are simply too many factors at play to blame one single influence in William and Joshua Buckner's lives for the resulting tragedy they caused; and before even these influences can be blamed - the mental states of the guilty must first be held accountable.

Skip to comments.Romney, Santorum struggle to arouse consistent passion in their own voters, exit polls show
Posted on 03/19/2012 3:38:09 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
WASHINGTON - Mitt Romney may lead in delegates and Rick Santorum might have momentum, but neither of the two leading Republican presidential candidates is having an easy time exciting even his own voters.
Out of a dozen states where voters in the GOP contest have been polled, most Romney voters have said they strongly favor him in just five of them. A majority of Santorum voters felt that committed to him only four times out of 11 states where he was on the ballot and voters were surveyed.
Each man is struggling to consistently spark the intensity that could separate him from the pack.
Consider that Arizona is the only state where Romney had a higher proportion of voters expressing strong feelings about him than his rivals did. And Santorum hasn't had that edge in any state yet, despite an animated campaign style and passion for hot-button social issues like contraception that have contrasted with Romney's stiffer, more analytic manner.
On average, 50 percent of Romney voters and 49 percent of Santorum's say they strongly favor their candidate, with the rest expressing reservations about their man or a greater dislike for his rivals, according to entrance and exit polls of voters in 12 states.
When it comes to winning fervent devotion from his own supporters, both men trail former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Texas Rep. Ron Paul. Those two GOP presidential campaigns are lagging but 58 percent of Gingrich's backers and 53 percent of Paul's, on average, say they strongly favor their candidate. Analysts say higher percentages of devoted supporters are common with candidates whose lesser backing leaves them with only the most committed followers...........
(Excerpt) Read more at startribune.com ...
Not an original thought or idea of substance from either of Newt Gingrich's rivals. Only variations of Newt's ideas and solutions that neither can articulate.
It's pitiful and pathetic.
I think it's more than 58%.
From what I see and read, Gingrich's supporters stand with him at about 80%
"Newt is the best of the three... I could vote for Santorum but he is a weak sister. romney is as bad as obama and worse if you give him a cooperative and progressive republican Senate."
Let's confront the truth, guys.
The FACT is that the primaries have been kidnapped by democrats, who are playing the GOP like a fiddle.
Newt was deprived of victory in both Alabama and Mississippi. He had been consistently leading in the opinion polls ...
As the exit election polls indicated, 8 to 10% of the voters were democrats, WHO pushed Santorum forward, even though he was lagging in the opinion polls.
Imagine the situation of the race today if Newt won those states ...
Obama wants a weak republican candidate. Rick/Mitt are perfect for him.
The ONLY one he truly fears is NEWT.
I will be happy to agree with your 80%.
Cincinatus' Wife has NEVER supported Romney.
Well who did she support, liar Perry?
Newt Gingrich had to be deprived of those two wins in the South "at all costs."
Local news channel 12 in Jackson, Mississippi had the last minute polling at Gingrich 34, Romney 31 and Santorum 27.
It's history now.
We gave it our best shot here, (honestly), but the GOP-E is to blame with open primaries and on site decisions that permit voters to declare which ballot they want: Republican or democrat.
****Lets confront the truth, guys.
The FACT is that the primaries have been kidnapped by democrats, who are playing the GOP like a fiddle.***
And their cohorts in the MSM.
Texas Governor Rick Perry.
Why are you calling him a liar?
Same here. I can't count the times I've stood up and cheered Newt. His message and his vision are so far above the rest, it practically makes them non-existent.
Amen CW... and THAT is what I am all about today.
CW supported GOVERNOR Perry---not Romney; get your accusations straight instead of flailing around blindly. And I supported the governor as well. He's a fine Christian man with solid conservative principles.
We need to support Santorum only to get this thing to convention. There, we can nominate Newt.
That's an understatement....even Santorum knows if it weren't for Newt taking the heat he'd be done in by all the forces which have gone after Newt.
Santorum's not going to withstand what's coming at him ahead should Newt even consider stepping out, (and that's not going to happen), he's already losing in Illinois with the Romney and Establishments campaign ads going full bore against him...and I don't see him winning there by any means.....there are too many wanting Romney at the lead and they are willing to do whatever is necessary to put down Santorum there, and they have the means to do so.
Further the state is Blue.....so I won't be surprised if Romney get's it there.....even without the ads...he's just not taking any chances Rick will pull ahead. Romney wants this decided now and so does the establishment.
On to CONVENTION!!! And Go Newt GO!!!!!!!!!
I believe many of the Romney / Santorum voters are un-enthusiastic because they were turned off Newt by the Negative ads, compleate with lies and distirtions, and by the media and pundits that continue to say only Romney can beat obama. Newt can beat obama. Without a candidate who can generate enthusiasm, obama will be re-elected.
My GUESS is that the true Paulbots got surprised and disappointed to find out that Paul and Romney are close (and their wives as well). They know what Romney's record is and it is NOT consistent with what RP seems to stand for.
I'd love to see Paul in charge of all financial matters and nothing else and I had been convinced that he was one of very few genuine politicians even though I disagree with half of his policy (or more).
I couldn't figure out why he never attacked Romney and when I heard the story that he had cut a deal with Romney for Rand to be VP, I found the accusation to be believable.
I despise Romney and will never trust or support anyone who cuts a deal with him. Maybe the Paulbots now feel that way too. I hope so and I hope they figure the one person who has a record of cutting DC power and the slime bags running it from the shadows way back is Newt.
In Tennessee, they tried a different underhanded tactic and succeeded Hours before the election, Santorum met with several state delegates declared on the ballot for Gingrich, one even the Co-Chair of the Gingrich campaign, convincing them to switch to Santorum delegates even though the state ballots declared them all for Gingrich.
It amounted to election fraud, as millions of Tennessee Gingrich supporters cast vote after vote for Gingrich delegates that had quietly switched to Santorum hours before the election. The old backroom switcheroo had worked and Santorum won Tennessee, snatching the number two spot in the GOP race from Gingrich for the first time.
GOP-EE it is!
Newt Gingrich explains why he is cheerful:
Hear! Hear!
Newt all the way to Tampa!
It's a crime that Romney ruined this primary with his attack ads in Iowa and Florida.
Newt Gingrich had this primary in the bag and America would have been the winner. Now we need a brokered convention for any hope.
"I despise Romney and will never trust or support anyone who cuts a deal with him."
Romney is the least capable of uniting the voters for the national elections. He will fail, as the polls indicate 18% of republicans will stay home in case of Mitt's nomination and the GOPers will lose heavily in the Congress as well.
Texas Governor Perry is not a liar. You can take issue with him, as you have, but he is out of the race, so slamming him really doesn't serve any useful purpose. Our former governor Haley Barbour was heralded as a conservative, and look at the way he departed his office! For that matter, Governor Bryant was just given a TEA Party award, and he endorsed Romney for crying out loud!
Newt Gingrich can run a national campaign and beat obama with his own Alinsky tactics.
Newt Gingrich is 100 times smarter than obama and I'm being conservative stating 100 times smarter.
Yikes! Yosemitest - I was complimenting you on the effort you made composing the poem in Post #47.
And thank you onyx.
Yep and I agree with the rest of your comments as well.
Go have a cup of tea. You're on some sort of tear that is ugly and a lie. Perry believes in fencing in populated areas where they work, a sealed border and NO amnesty. The parents could more easily pay for the cervical cancer shot with the governor's executive order for vaccines (as the legislature placed that duty with the governor's office) and to opt out of all vaccines. No one received that shot under the EO as it was rescinded without objection.
Romney's a real piece of dirt for how he's attacked his opponents. Have you seen what Drudge is running at the top of his page?
Never mind that Santorum whole heartily endorsed Romney in '08, so who's the liar now?
True enough.
Hello POT, meet KETTLE!
Waaaah, waaaah, waaaah... poor Rick. It's just not right that people on FR are saying bad things about him/ sarc
My gosh man (or woman, I am not sure) HAVE YOU READ THE FALSE, HYPOCRITICAL, REVISIONIST-HISTORY, CONSPIRACY-THEORY, JUDGMENTAL ATTACKS ON GINGRICH THAT GET HURLED AT HIM AND HIS SUPPORTERS EVERYDAY?!!
I believe that YOU have actually engaged in a number of them. And now you are whining about people on FR attacking and ridiculing Santorum while saying NOTHING about the attacks on Gingrich.
If you go back and check ALL of my posts the only negative things that I have every said about Santorum is that I believe he has cast too many pro-union votes, that he has been a "team player" too many times and that I believe with all of my heart and soul that HE CAN'T BEAT OBAMA.
IF Romney spent as much money blasting Rick Santorum with smear attacks as he did Newt...Rick would be polling in single digits..the man has slithered through the first half of this election with little vetting
Your whole post is a primal scream and not attached to any reality. What would you ever do if your caps lock busted?
Which it will if you don't quit smacking it with such angst.
All in all, common sense is nowhere in your vocabulary.
Just hate and rage.
By the way, I don't see anyone attacking poor Newt lately. They have no need to.
I would say have a nice day. But most likely you won't. LOL
Santorum praising Newt!
The reason Newt's former colleagues won't endorse him is because if he is elected, their cushy DC insider 'elite' lifestyle... is over.
He shook up DC before crossing the aisle to work with Clinton for the good of the country and stepped on a lot of ego's in order to do the people's business.
I challenge ANYONE who after taking an unbiased look at Newt's current detailed plan for America's Recovery AND his resume for SUCCESS and getting things done in DC, to instead choose an empty suit with NO plan or a social right wing extremist who has ALREADY divided rather than united the general electorate.
Currently Gingrich is the ONLY GOP inside Obama's head having forced Chairman Bow to engage vis a vis his FAILED American Energy Policy.
Obama WANTS Romney or Santorum. Obama FEARS Newt Gingrich..... Think Sun Tzu The Art of War..... America can't afford another 2008 McCain disaster..... WAKE UP AMERICA.

Please FReep this poll on Hannity Website
Vote Newt Gingrich
caww, I read his bio and his childhood was not an easy one. Newt is a self made man and his record as Speaker is historical..did wonders for the conservative movement in this country. Read a comment about a young Rick Santorum going to a game at Three Rivers Stadium with a friend. Santorum popped a cassette in and the friend said, "who is that?" Santorum replied.."that is Newt Gingrich! you have to listen to this man" Surely you have seen the more recent video of Santorum praising Newt? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl5FrefT66A
I will never for the life of me understand why people would favor Santorum over Newt...except they are for the most part religious minded and that's good enough for them Santorum represents them in the social affairs of men.....but it is not good enough for those who see further than those issues and see a nation which needs a packaged deal brought to the table...and Newt has the entire package and the correct approach when it comes to the social affairs of men.
Santorum plays to the emotions of the religious...Newt plays to 'our Nation Under God' according to the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence....which then is acceptable even to the nonreligious. Rick lacks that entirely in how he's going about the social issues.
I don't think it's our system of how we elect which is the greater problem as much as the population we have today.....,who most are no longer assimilating as Americans as was done in years prior, but attempting to use and change our laws to accommodate their ideas of what the face of this nation should be...and it's not the America I have known by any means. Santorum has already shown he will not be able to defeat Obama....Newt can and I remain loyal to his run and do not underestimate the outcome when all the cards are played.
I borrowed that video!
Thats good. Now, Newt should praise Rick. Then they would be even.
Thanks and great:) I found it on a conservatives for Newt blog...they are such strong Newt supporters they won't vote for Romney or Santorum.
Would you post it? deserves a thread of its own:)
Sorry if my "primal"ness scared you! LOL!!
Part of the reason why I reacted to your post with such "angst" is that I had just been reading some of those "attacks" on a couple of other threads. So yeah, I was riled up.
I am not crazy about Santorum, never have been. But I could vote for him. And I do agree with you about FReepers not attacking Rick OR Newt (sorry, I used the all caps again, see it is not busted :))) But it really isn't just Rick that is getting attacked. Both of them are getting it, and getting it good. It just goes to show you have passionate we ALL are, how personal getting rid of Obama is to ALL of us.
Peace to you, my fellow FReeper!
As for Santorum...as I've said before he bares all the "earmarks" of the mindset in the town he grew up in. You're either very ridgid or anything goes. Ricks very staunch. I frankly just don't like the man's personality as it does reflect those of his hometown.... Arrogance when there's nothing to be arrogant about....and at the same time clumsey in how they present themselves....and then expecting others to "lift" them up so they can run life's race.... And that is Santorum.
Heck he wouldn't be this far without Newt towing his line thru this Primary. I just wish he'd let Santorum go and focus entirely on his own run...but then I suspect this too is part of Newt's plan.
Please FReep this poll on Hannity Website
Vote Newt Gingrich
Santorum is not even in Newt's league. He is a pious little fraud.
You know his nickname in highschool was "Rooster" they said because he got riled up easily..I would think it fits because he crows about the wrong issues

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
Our holiday apartment is in San Agustin, an attractive relaxing resort,twentyfive minutes drive from the airport, in the sunny south of the island of Gran Canaria. The resort has safe sandy beach, with watersports, bar/restaurant and coastal walkway that reaches to Maspalomas and it's famous sand dunes. Gran Canaria is a sub- tropical island with a climate to match , the average temperature is 25 degrees centrigrade, making it a year round destination. The Canary Islands belong to Spain but are located off the Western coast of Africa, on a level with southern Morocco. Gran Canaria is described as a mini continent because of the variety of landscapes to be found there, from the endless sandy beaches in the south, made for basking in the sun all year round, to the dramatic rock formations and mountains of the interior and the island's capital Las Palmas located in the north, an exciting cosmopolitan city with it's own beaches, elegant stores and a broad range of cultural activities.
Las Lomas is a well run, secure/private complex, right on the coast. It has an adult and children's pool with sun beds and shades and gardens with tropical plants,all tended to each day by the community's employees.
Tito who speaks Spanish, English and German and Angel, both can be called upon for help, if need be.The apartment is fully furnished and equipped.It has one twin and one double bedroom, a lounge, kitchen , bathroom and furnished balcony with pool and sea views. All linen, apart from beach towels, is provided. The apartment is fully serviced before and after your arrival including a welcome pack. Further cleaning can be arranged during your stay for a small charge.
We have a small library of a variety of easy read novels that you are welcome to read during your stay and we have compiled a file of local information such as where to find the theme parks, aqua parks, golf courses, local markets, restaurants, casinos, Thalassotherapy centre and all sorts of activities, that you may find useful , including an island guide.
We are located in a peaceful area but all amenities are easily reached. A variety of shops and restaurants are within easy walking distance and if you'd like to go further afield the local buses and taxis are efficient and economical; there is a taxi rank right opposite Las Lomas. There's a small bar at the entrance to the complex where drinks, ices and snack meals are served, so if you don't feel like going too far after a long day at the pool or beach, you don,t have to!
The apartment guidelines are just behind the entrance door.Here you will find all the information you need e.g.
where to dispose of rubbish, locate fuse box, this will be turned on prior to your arrival, where the nearest pharmacy and medical centre are and how to contact the consulate on the island . There is also our telephone number in England, on which you are welcome to contact us should you have any problem you can't solve locally.
The apartment was clean, tidy and had all that was needed for a holiday for four. We felt very secure in the complex, which is well kept and looked after. The pool is very clean and again is well looked after.
The location (10 minute down hill walk to lovely beach and not as on the map attached to the apartment details) was great beach and local shop close by.
Excellent transport connections.
Would go again.

Abbiamo trascorso una vacanza molto rilassante e il tempo era perfetto!
Ciao Jacob Grazie alla prossima vacanza !!
We are an italian family with 2 small children , we spent 10 days in Gran Canaria, visiting the majority of villages along the coast and we definately prefer Saint Agustin among all the others as it is a flat quite village with gardens, play ground, shops and restaurant all near by.

The flat is big confortable and all equipped, nothing is missed from microwe to washing machine .
There are 2 bedrooms 1 bathroom the living and the kitchen corner and it was just perfect for our family.
We could use the swimmingpool of the condo, the building itself is very quiet not noise at all ( we love that!) Our children love that house, tv was there for them and many books to read for me ...
We rented a car just outside the condo ( cheaper in compare with agency at airport).
There is a gym and a tennis ground few blocks away.
WE spent a very relaxing holiday and the weather was perfect!
Ciao Jacob thankyou & see you next time !!
Please refer to the file of local information and guide book mentioned in property description 2. The local sugrocery shops often have copies of the free island newspaper in English called Tha Canary News which is very informative . You'll find dates and venues of seasonal fiestas, that seem to be never ending. The year starts with a bang with spectacular firework displays on 31st December to announce the new year, followed by parties long into the night, then there's the Three Kings parades on 5th January. Carnival begins in early February till Easter. Local festivals, exhibitions, dances are held throughout the year and everyones welcome, so make the most of them!!

GREENPORT - For most of us, Labor Day weekend means the end of summer, but it's not the end of summer fun!
In today's 12 Weeks of Summer segment, Doug Geed takes us to an East End village that attracts tourists all year round.
Food is a big draw for Greenport. While Claudio's may be the most well-known restaurant, there are many popular places to eat - including the Frisky Oyster, Noah's and The Loft.
Just outside the downtown area you'll find the Brewer Stirling Harbor Marina and Porto Bello Restaurant.
Downtown, there's a public marina, with its huge boardwalk and wide open lawn where you can bring a blanket and listen to free live music.

SumbandilaSat providing valuable imagery
During August and September 2010 SumbandilaSat acquired five high resolution images of the south-western part of the Kruger National Park and neighbouring Bushbuckridge where the CSIR's Dr Konrad Wessels and Navashni Govender and Dr Izak Smit of SANParks Scientific Services are conducting various research projects.
These images would have cost in excess of R40 000 each from a commercially operated satellite, but now SumbandilaSat can deliver the imagery (50 x 60 km area per image) for specific projects to local users at no cost. So far 800 images have successfully been taken of targets worldwide (of which approximately 54% are cloud-free) – this translates to four images on an average day. Three to five images can be captured of southern African targets per week.
Earlier in the mission, a setback was experienced with the performance of the altitude stabilisation system on the satellite. To counter the problem, Jan-Albert Koekemoer of SunSpace explains, the SunSpace design team managed to guide the satellite to tumble 'head-over-heels' to scan an image from south to north, while orbiting north to south. This unique and initially unplanned manoeuvre allows the satellite to continue to take high resolution images of worldwide targets on a daily basis.
The provision of free and frequent high resolution satellite images of specific areas of interest will revolutionise earth observation in many fields, so that natural events (e.g. fire), natural disasters (e.g. floods) and human activities (e.g. mining, settlements, forestry) can be accurately monitored on a regular basis.
The SumbandilaSat images can also be used to map burnt areas, for example, in the Kruger National Park where fire is part of the natural ecology and is used as a management tool by SANParks to manipulate the vegetation to promote biodiversity and influence the balance between grass, shrubs and big trees.
The experimental burn plots shown in the SumbandilaSat image (top right) are part of a long-term fire experiment that was set up in and maintained since 1954. The initial objective for this experiment was to investigate and understand the effects of fire frequency (e.g. annually, biennially or every third year) and season of fire (early summer - December, late summer - February, autumn - April, winter - August and after spring rains - October) on the vegetation, e.g. tree, grass and shrub density and height. The SumbandilaSat image clearly shows how the natural fire was excluded from the experimental burn plots, while specific blocks within the plots were burned in August 2010 by SANParks as part of the experiment. After 56 years this valuable experiment is considered a comprehensive scientific trial for understanding the influence of fire on bush encroachment, grazing quality and other fire and herbivore interactions. The satellite imagery can also be used to monitor the recovery of the vegetation in the burnt area and the long-term influence of fire on tree and grass cover.
SANParks currently has to rely on very coarse resolution satellite images with 500 m pixel size for regular mapping of burnt areas. SumbandilaSat provides images at 6.25 m pixel resolution and covers a 50x60 km area per image.
Although the imaging capacity of SumbandilaSat is much less than that of commercial high resolution satellites, the satellite has demonstrated the viability of affordable micro-satellite technology, which is its primary stated mission. A constellation of similar satellites is planned to increase the availability of such satellite data for diverse applications. Several African countries will participate in this joint venture and will eventually share in the data produced by the African Resource Management Constellation, especially for disaster monitoring applications.
The South African National Space Agency (SANSA) will be tasked with ensuring that society benefits from investments in space-based earth observation technology in accordance with our national Space Strategy.
The CSIR's Dr Corné Eloff confirms that SumbandilaSat images are available via the CSIR Satellite Applications Centre catalogue (http://catalogue.sac.co.za, 'search' SumbandilaSat MSS). New image requests can be directed to sales and customer services at the CSIR Satellite Applications Centre.
